Shire’s costly lengths for aquatic centre FIVE years ago Mornington Peninsula Shire paid $5.1 million for a block of shops in Wannaeue Place, Rosebud. Rosebud Central Shopping Centre was promoted as an alternative site to the foreshore for an aquatic centre which the shire had been struggling to build in the face of state government restrictions and technical problems. A nearby shop housing a dry cleaners was also bought for $770,000. The face-saving entry into the commercial property market was made in late September 2012, just weeks before the shire would have moved into the pre-election caretaker mode. The shire has now been told it will cost more than $10 million just for an underground car park, let alone an aquatic centre on top. Two council elections later, only three of the councillors who were there when Wannaeue Place was bought are on the council (Antonella Celi, Bev Colomb and Frank Martin). The foreshore aquatic centre has been ruled out and the shire has now decided to spend $20,000 on a business case for an “inland” aquatic centre near its offices in Besgrove St. In the words of the mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, who was on council when it bought Wannaeue Place, the decision to move inland allows the site to “be available for other development options”.

Pool site beside the park Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au LAND near the Mornington Peninsula Shire offices in Besgrove St has surfaced as the preferred option for an aquatic centre at Rosebud. The cost of the aquatic centre is estimated at $28.4 million-$30.7 million, depending on it having a 25-metre or

rts

50-metre inside or outside pool. The council last week voted to spend $20,000 on a business plan for the site which is expected to be completed before its December meeting. A report to council’s 8 August meeting warned that the centre was likely to lose 800,000 to $1.075m a year, although these “may potentially be reduced” by $200,000 if a 600 square metre gym was added to the complex.

The cost of including a gym was not included in the report. An extra $2m might be needed for traffic lights at the intersection of Boneo Rd and Besgrove St. In the years the shire has spent debating about where - or even if - to build an aquatic centre, Frankston Council built its award-winning Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC), opened in September 2014.

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb last week said deciding on the Besgrove St site would “assist in speeding up the development of a facility in Rosebud … and enable council-owned land in Wannaeue Place to be available for other development options”. “Besgrove St is a strongly suitable location for the proposed pool, featuring relatively flat land, ample space for car parking, relatively straightforward

Safety first ‘crucial’ at Rye boat ramp Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A LACK of regular maintenance is the “crucial safety issue” at the Rye boat ramp, according to Rye Community Group Alliance, which opposes the contentious fourth ramp. Chair Mechelle Cheers said her group was angry that Mornington Peninsula Shire had backed plans to develop a fourth ramp when it was “rarely” needed. The cost of the works is about $1.2 million, with the shire receiving

$588,000 from Ports Minister Luke Donnellan, on condition a fourth boat ramp is built. No additional car parking is planned. A council report said the project would “alleviate the on-land and onwater congestion experienced at the Rye boat ramp during summer”. Shire planners, who won a Victorian Coastal Council Award for the Rye Recreational Boating Precinct Plan, said it would involve building a new jetty, a fourth boat ramp, replacing existing boat ramps, and realigning the existing and new reversing lane. A planning permit application is cur-

rently being advertised. The works are a waste of money, the alliance says. “People slip on the algae or, because of the lack of regular dredging, they ground their boats,” Ms Cheers said. “That’s a shire issue – not a case for expansion. “And, for those concerned about getting their boats back in a hurry, it’s not an issue. No one goes out in a southerly or a northerly. We are not Western Port.” Ms Cheers said the Rye boating zone “does not have a bad safety record” with only one accident recorded on

Maritime Safety Victoria’s database. “You can surely understand why many of us are shaking our heads in disbelief at what was said about safety issues,” she said. “Where did the information that Rye was dangerous come from?” Rye Community Group Alliance members tabled a petition at the planning meeting showing 1378 signatures against the boat ramp expansion plans as opposed to 362 in favour. Cr David Gill, who spoke in favour of the new ramp, later cited “boatrage” and the potential for slipping over to be among many existing ramp

safety concerns. “It is dangerous to walk on,” he said. “There are also parking and reversing issues – safety is only one element.” Cr Gill – who’s “not a boatie” – said many safety issues went unreported to police or the maritime safety authorities. “We listened to anecdotal evidence from members of the public and read reports from officers before making our decision”, he said. “The planners showed the need for the new boat ramp. We believe there is a growing and pressing need for more boating facilities in the shire.”

Arrest over Rosebud robbery DETECTIVES from Mornington Peninsula CIU have arrested a man following an alleged robbery at Rosebud last week. It is alleged 69-year-old Barry Morris-Shaoul was on a powered scooter and walking his dog about 6.15am on 2 August when confronted by two offenders along the Rosebud foreshore who demanded his wallet (“Pensioner left stranded”

The News 8/8/17). The offenders allegedly stole Mr Morris-Shaoul’s jacket, mobile phone watch, ring and scooter keys. This morning investigators executed two search warrants in Rosebud and arrested a 37-year-old Rosebud man. Late Friday he was assisting detectives with their inquiries.

ROSEBUD’S Mark Krieger has spent three years working on his latest book: High Spain Drifter, based around cycling in Europe. In the story, the keen cyclist sets off on another of his fascinating journeys – this time around Spain and Portugal’s Iberian Peninsula with Roz and daughter Emma in tow. The former teacher taught English and History at Mornington Secondary College for 22 years from 1992, after arriving in Rosebud the year before. “Of our five children, four have followed in our footsteps. Each has taught or is currently teaching on the Mornington Peninsula,” Krieger said. “Cycling-wise, I have spent considerable time, along with Roz, travelling through many parts of Europe, including France, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, Italy, England, Scotland, Portugal and Spain. “I cycle up Arthurs Seat as often as I can – more than 4000 times since 2006 when I started counting. Perhaps there’s a touch of impulsive obsessive disorder in that but I still enjoy it.” The genre of the latest book is a combination of cycling, travel and history, along with the occasional film portrayal, written with a touch of humour, he said last week. Following in the tyre marks of the Tour de France and Spain’s Vuelta a España through the Pyrénées, Krieger recalls many of cycling’s memorable moments: some inspirational, and some that the sport would rather forget. Crossing the border into Spain with summer approaching, they find the Catalonians in

festival mode. Travelling west, he is determined to conquer a treacherous goat track near Oviedo after two failed attempts. Arriving in Portugal, they are enthralled by the country’s history and events like the ‘Age of Discoveries’, the 1755 earthquake, the Carnation Revolution and the humble beginnings of Fado. As for the present, they savour the food and the distinctive way it is presented. Large cities are not normally on Krieger's to-do list, especially when cycling but, drenched in history and abundantly alive in the present, Lisbon proves an awesome exception. Just as evocative in its own way is the small Spanish town of Trigueros. Once the sun goes down, its near-deserted streets come alive. Continuing through the south of Spain, the travellers visit the Sierra Nevada range where Krieger attempts another first: to cycle up its highest peak, Pico de Veleta. Much higher and harder than any mountain he’s ever dreamed of tackling, its final kilometres of treacherous road make even the thought of continuing seem foolish. Fast approaching the town of Solsona, where his cycling trek began, Krieger recalls some of the memories he and Roz have shared on their journey, while the thought of “where to next?” is never far away. The book, along with his earlier Lycra, Lattes and the Long Way Round (published in 2011), are available at Rosebud Book Barn and La Brocante, Red Hill South. It’s also on online bookshops.

AGL chooses Crib Point for gas terminal Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au ENERGY supplier AGL confirmed last week that it wants to have a floating gas terminal at Crib Point. The company says the Western Port site will “increase energy security and supply for customers in south eastern Australia”. If given the go ahead by the state government, AGL says it will “invest roughly $250 million” and begin construction in 2019 with a view to bringing the terminal online within the following two years. The government issued a statement on Thursday saying it “welcomed AGL’s decision … [and is] working closely with AGL to ensure approvals processes are streamlined to avoid unnecessary delays”. It said the project would create 40 permanent jobs “and many more during the construction phase”. The floating terminal plan also fits with the government’s decision not to back a container terminal at Hastings it favours Bay West, north of Geelong in Port Phillip - but to encourage the Port of Hastings to be used as a “bulk port”. “Crib Point is best placed to serve Victoria, Australia’s largest gas market, as well as take advantage of the existing pipeline network, industrial port facility and associated infrastructure,” the company stated in a new release from AGL’s wholesale markets executive general manager Richard Wrightson. “This doesn’t signal the end of the feasibility studies for the proposed site but now accelerates the process,” Mr

Imports: THE 176 metre long 30,000 tonne Grand Ace7 chemical and oil products tanker which visited Crib Point earlier this month is more than 100m shorter than gas tankers that may be used to bring LNG to AGL’s floating gas terminal. Picture: Gary Sissons

Wrightson said. “We look forward to ongoing consultation with the local community to answer their questions and proceed towards a formal application to the Victorian government. “This project will enable access to the world market for gas, injecting some much-needed competition into the Australian market and help ease the tight gas supply.” Mr Wrightson AGL is looking at “how best to modernise and decarbonise

the energy system … as Australia transitions to a carbon constrained future”. “Our strong balance sheet allows us to take a long-term view and invest our profits into renewable energy and strategic projects such as the gas import jetty and pipeline which will help underpin a more secure energy supply for Australia and has the potential, if required, to supply all of Victoria’s household and business customer gas needs,” he said. “As the largest generator of electricity in the country, we’re working hard

to deliver secure, reliable and affordable energy and increase competition in the east Australian gas market for domestic and industrial customers.” AGL’s decision to develop Crib Point comes as it announced a sharp turnaround in profits for the year to 30 June, with a net profit of $539 compared with a $408 million loss last year. AGL has predicted an underlying profit of $940 million-$1.04 billion in the coming year. As previously reported in The News,

(“Western Port suitable for gas ships”) AGL’s plan could see gas tankers of up to 290 metres long gas being used to bring liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the floating terminal at Crib Point. Former Port of Hastings harbourmaster Captain Dick Cox said ship to ship transfers had previously been conducted safely at Crib Point and there may be no need for having fire tugs “on immediate availability … providing there is adequate fire control systems available on the jetty to international standard”. Western Port was one of three sites being investigated by AGL for its import terminal for LNG from Australia and overseas. The proposal to import LNG has highlighted government tax policies which make it cheaper for gas to be imported, even though Australia is one of the world’s two largest exporters. “The fact remains that Australia is exporting two-thirds of its gas overseas. [Prime Minister] Malcolm Turnbull needs to put a cap on exports to provide immediate relief on prices,” the Premier Daniel Andrews said on Thursday. Capt Cox said the gas tankers were one of “the safest and cleanest types of ships in the world”. “Their fuel is the boil off from the cargo – [which means] no risk of damage to mangroves or seagrass from oil spills - which is kept liquid at minus 160 degrees Celsius - it has to be warmed before it can be put into the local grid which is the job of the permanently moored vessel, which, hopefully will be tied up at Crib Point No.2 Jetty,” he said.

Help record the nature of Western Port LIFESEARCH 2017 gives citizen scientists the opportunity to discover the plants, birds, insects, and other animals in the Western Port Biosphere Reserve. Lifesearch, the biosphere’s annual citizen science event for schools, individuals, families and community groups, runs throughout September to coincide with Biodiversity Month. All Lifesearch participants can make a contribution to the understanding of life in the Western Port Biosphere, as well as to the national Atlas of Living Australia database. There are prizes for the school, individual and team or group that record the most sightings during Lifesearch. Prizes include a family pass to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, a pass to Phillip Island nature parks, and a subscription to Australian Geographic magazine. Lifesearch sightings can be made in backyards, reserves and parks, beaches and school grounds within Frankston and Mornington Peninsula, on French island and in, on or over the waters of Western Port. Observation data is uploaded to the Atlas of Living Australia database. Lifesearch is inspired by 13-year-old Harewood Lyall, who lived at Harewood Homestead, Tooradin in the early 1900s. In 1912 he recorded his bird-watching observations in a notebook, which inspired the annual Western Port Biosphere Birdsearch event, first held in 2012.

PROUDLY LOCALLY MADE IN OUR FACTORY

‘Dannmann’ flys to gold in Sweden MORNINGTON’S Daniel Arapakis flew his F3D aircraft to victory at the FAI F3D world championships in Sweden, 25-29 July. The Western Port Model Aero Club member – nicknamed ‘Dannmann’ – did Australia proud bringing home the gold medal and becoming junior world champion. Daniel is the first Australian junior to win a world championship in any facet of aeromodelling, his father Andrew Arapakis said. “He was race prepared with the finest aircraft, engines and propellers fastidiously engineered by Barry Murphy, which are world renowned for their reliability and performance.” Daniel flew his Minute Master racer for 14 rounds over three days to win the junior category. His times complemented the Australian seniors’ outstanding performances, with Australia also winning gold in the team event. The methanol-burning models, with top speeds

of more than 350kph, are flown over 10 laps around a 400-metre pylon course. Three pilots at the same time compete against the clock aiming to finish in less than 60 seconds. Daniel averaged 59.44 seconds for the event which also gave him ninth overall in the open division. Forty-five pilots from 17 countries and four continents competed with Australia’s senior best performer, Beau Murphy, finishing seventh outright. On returning home, Daniel was presented with a life membership of the Western Port club for his achievements – an honour for a 16-year-old, Mr Arapakis said. Australia will host the next world championships in Queensland in 2019. “Our pilots are regarded as the best in the world for their skills, teamwork, support – and having fun,” Mr Arapakis said.

Upset over demolition plans

Rules to protect town’s character TIGHTER design and development rules are planned for the commercial heart of Sorrento – mainly along Ocean Beach Rd. They are part of a Mornington Peninsula Shire Council push to strengthen planning controls through an overlay. The council at its planning services committee meeting on Monday 31 July moved to adopt planning scheme amendment C204. The overlay aims to protect the distinctive character of the town through building height limits and setback controls. These would ensure a third storey is setback so as not to be visually prominent from the opposite side of Ocean Beach Rd. The amendment has been sent to Planning Minister Richard Wynne for his consideration.

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the shire urged the minister to support the amendment. “We are determined to protect this important historic and iconic township that has a local, state and international significance,” she said. “One of our priorities is listening to and responding to the needs of our community – that’s what we strive to do. “Through many public forums and other meetings with concerned residents, we have learnt that protecting the character and feel of our peninsula is the number one goal.” Cr Bryan Payne said the shire was “determined to protect our townships from overdevelopment”. “This design and development overlay will protect the historical significance of Sorrento.”

THE proposed demolition of what is described as “a rare example of an early 1900s timber cottage” in Sorrento’s main street has upset members of Nepean Historical Society. Ratio Consultants has applied to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council for a permit to develop a three-storey building with 16 dwellings and two shops at 141-145 Ocean Beach Rd. If approved, the development will involve the demolition of Sandarne, which was built about 1915 as the home of Swedish immigrant seaman and fisherman Albert Backius. He is said to have designed it and named it after his home town in Sweden. Historical society president Joy Kitch said Mr Backius built boats in a shed behind the house, including one for early Sorrento businessman George Coppin’s daughter Lucy and, notably, his own motor launch, Starlight, which he used for fishing and pleasure trips for residents and visitors to Sorrento a century ago. “Sandarne and the Backius family are linked to Sorrento’s Croad family, as Albert’s daughter Thelma Backius married the son of William Joseph Croad, well known in the area for building fine limestone houses,” she said. “Sandarne is a place of high heritage significance for Sorrento.” Ms Kitch said the house’s heritage had been acknowledged by the shire with a plaque in the main street at the corner of Darling Rd. The society’s researcher Bergliot Dallas and archivist Janet South used the archives at the Sorrento Museum to compile evidence of the house’s heritage value. Stepehn Taylor

Ram-ing it home: The Rex Australis sculpture on Peninsula Link is heading back to the McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park in Langwarrin. Picture: Gary Sissons

Rex makes gallery new home REX Australis – the giant ram’s head which has graced Peninsula Link near the Skye Rd exit for the past four years – is settling in at its new home: McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park, Langwarrin. The cast-iron sculpture by Dean Colls is 14 metres long, seven metres high and six metres deep. It will feature near another sculptured favourite: the Tree of Life, by artist Phil Price, which was replaced at the Cranbourne Rd exit by Reflective Lullaby – colloquially known as the Giant Gnome, by Gregor Kregar. Fittingly, the intersections at which the

sculptures attracted motorists’ attention are the exits for the gallery and park. The sculptures are the result of a partnership between the gallery and Southern Way, which was formed to manage the selection and installation of 14 artworks along Peninsula Link, which opened in January 2013. Gallery staffers are tight-lipped over what is replacing Rex but it’s sure to be as eye-catching, curator Simon Lawrie said. The gallery is at 390 McClelland Drive, Langwarrin. Stephen Taylor

LAND off Besgrove St, Rosebud is now earmarked for an aquatic centre. Picture: Yanni

Business case for pool site Continued from Page 1 The Pelican Park Recreation Centre, Hastings opened in 2003 and has continued to operate at a loss ever since. Council spent about $5.1 million on existing buildings and land for an aquatic centre in Wannaeue Place, Rosebud, in September 2012 after it became clear the state government would not approve a site on Rosebud foreshore for what was then known as the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre, or SPA. The report by David Hampton, team leader – buildings and open space project management, to councillors last week estimated it would cost $10.3m for a basement car park if the aquatic centre was built in Wannaeue Place. Basically, the report conclusively says Wannaeue Place is unsuitable for an aquatic centre. However, continuing public support for a new pool was shown at the March 2017 council meeting when supporters asked a slew of questions as to why one had not already been built. Long time pool campaigner Betty Preston said she was “very pleased” with the decision to investigate the Besgrove St site. “However, the recommendations still have to be voted on and community consultation has to take place”, she said. “Still, considering how fast council has acted, particularly over the past few months, it is very encouraging. “The community support through petitions, press and the local radio station, has been overwhelming.” The business plan will include options for a 25-metre indoor pool, 50-metre indoor pool and a 50-metre outdoor pool, as well as health, fitness and wellbeing facilities. These will cater for pool programs, training, school competitions, educa-

tion, health and fitness and special events. Other features will include multi-purpose rooms for health and fitness classes, wellness centre featuring consulting, steam and sauna rooms catering for specialist services, such as massage and physiotherapy, relaxation, older adults and sports recovery. There will be a cafe, disability access, access ramps to the main pools, learn-to-swim pool and warm water program pool, wheelchair access to the spa within the warm water program pool, and family change rooms with disability or special needs facilities. All pool decks will be on the same level avoiding the need for lifts. “The concepts cater for our local residents, such as offering learn-to-swim facilities to help all students to develop great swimming skills,” Cr Colomb said. “The shire has a higher than state average portion of older people living on the southern peninsula. The warm water program pool will provide a health and wellbeing resource for our older residents.” Cr Colomb said the “development and consideration of the options available for an aquatic centre in Rosebud remains a priority of council”. She agreed the siting of the proposed pool has “been of significant interest to our community, and we are determined to continue advancing the progress”. The business case will lead to a report establishing costs, propose options, and “demonstrate whether the project is affordable and represents a value for money investment for council”, the shire said. It will also assess a project timeframe. The report is to be brought back to a council meeting by the end of December.With Keith Platt

EPA probe into creek fuel spill Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Teed up: Josh Shaw is the new driving force at Flinders Golf Club. Picture: Supplied.

New pro at Flinders JOSH Shaw has been appointed head professional at Flinders Golf Club after serving four years under outgoing professional Gavin Coyle. General manager Chris Poulton said Shaw began as a PGA trainee at the club. “He has matured into a fully qualified PGA professional, with a love of the industry, a passion for teaching and a drive to provide the best service to members and guests on the Mornington Peninsula,” Mr Poulton said. “The committee acknowledges that Gavin Coyle has left an indelible mark on the club, and while there are many aspects of Gavin’s work and style that they hope Josh will continue to provide, there are also areas where he can improve on and drive … over the next few years.” Mr Poulton said the PGA traineeship had provided Shaw with the right education, training and mentoring “to embrace his role moving forward”. “Flinders Golf Club is well regarded by golfers and is one of Australia’s true coastal golf courses,” Shaw said. “On the point of Western Port, it has spectacular conditions and scenery, and is an experience not found at many golf courses in Australia, or even the world.”

Guiding hand: Peninsula Health clinician Teresa Gillespie helps clients make advance care plans for later life.

It’s your life – take care of it MEMBERS of U3A Mornington recently gained an insight into how to ensure their wishes are respected if they end up in hospital or a nursing home. A ‘Your life in your hands’ presentation by Peninsula Health’s advance care planning clinician Teresa Gillespie advised them on possible future health issues. “The presentation is of particular interest to older people in our community,” the U3A’s Anne Riddell said. Those attending are advised of two essentials actions: To complete an advance care directive and to appoint

a trusted person as medical decision maker, which is important if a patient later is unable to communicate. After each presentation, audience members make appointments to see Ms Gillespie or a colleague for help in preparing their paperwork. “We have a chat about what can happen if [a client’s] health fails in later life,” she said. “Then I help [them] decide on the treatment and care they’d want, and prepare the legal directive for them to sign.” Advance care planning appointments can be made by calling Peninsula Health, 1300 665 781.

UP to 200 litres of diesel fuel spilled from the United Terminals’ Hastings depot into Olivers Creek last week from what is believed to be a damaged pipe flange. Earlier, it was reported that 1001000 litres had escaped from the Barclay Crescent site before the leak was stopped about 1pm on Monday 31 July. United’s COO David Szymczak said the seepage was mostly contained in bunds – protective earth or concrete walls - designed to trap fuel overflows. “All our tanks are in bunded areas but, on this occasion, a small amount – in the 200-litre category – seeped out into an unbunded area,” Mr Szymczak said. The company “called in the experts and emergency services” to help contain the spill – the first at the site since the company took over in 2008. Environment Protection Authority Victoria senior media advisor John Rees said officers found that a “significant volume” of lost fuel was captured by interceptor drains and a trap. A small, unknown amount had flowed into Olivers Creek. “EPA officers observed a clean-up process had taken place, which originally was aimed at protecting the nearby mangroves with booms and surface water removal,” he said. “Significant work has been undertaken to protect the adjacent man-

groves, which appear to have been largely unaffected. No known human health impacts were noted but a strong smell of fuel was present in the immediate area.” Mr Rees said preventative measures remained in place in Olivers Creek under EPA advice and the clean-up was “well advanced”, Friday. He said United Petroleum was “fully cooperating with the EPA”. “Investigations are ongoing into how the spill occurred and the results of that investigation will determine what actions are appropriate,” he said. Port of Hastings CEO Malcolm Geier said after seeing the size and nature of the spill “it was determined that no recovery action was necessary in the bay.”

Talent spotters on the bus

Cricket tours can take family toll

MUSICIANS in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula will get a chance to show their talents later this month to a busload of music industry insiders. The second Victorian Music Crawl includes artists, managers, booking agents and representatives of Music Victoria. Local and visiting artists, representing diversity of gender, age and genres including rock, jazz, blues, will perform at the sites. On Thursday 24 August the bus will transport the delegation to Frankston’s Pier Bandroom, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, God’s Kitchen and RPP FM, Mornington, Hickinbotham Winery, Dromana, and Baha, Rye. On Friday 25 August the bus will be at Red Hill Bakery, Balnarring before heading to South Gippsland. Performances at Hickinbotham and Baha will be open to the public. The state government-backed Music Crawl tour aims to build connections between Melbourne-based music industry figures and bands, venues, bookers, events, promoters and media. During its tour of rural Victoria he delegation will visit a range of live music venues including small and large pubs, a church, a festival site, a mechanics hall, a winery, a cafe, a radio station, an arts gallery, a brewery, a nightclub and a Mexican restaurant. Local and visiting artists, representing diversity of gender, age and genres including rock, jazz, blues, will perform at the sites. “Because of Australia’s expansive geography, regional touring can be difficult and expensive so the need to continually discover places is extremely important to make touring viable. I found the Crawl to be invaluable in joining the dots when piecing together a regional tour,” Premier Artists booking agent Sean Simmons said. For details about the Victorian Music Crawl, go to www.musicvictoria.com.au or follow the tour on twitter at #vicmusiccrawl.

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au KATHRYN Whatmore knows all about the pressures felt by the wives and girlfriends of professionals cricketers – especially when their partners are on tour. “There’s a lot more expected of cricketers these days as they are full time and there is so much travel involved,” the wife of former Test cricketer and now international coach Dav (Davenell) Whatmore, said on Monday from their home in Bittern. “There are many more competitions now; people don’t realise how difficult it is for wives to have their men so far from home and away from their young families.” Players are required to arrive overseas a couple of weeks before the start of a series, meaning a six-week tour is really a nine-week tour. “It’s incredible that some marriages even keep going. The wives are the ones who bring up the children.” Dav Whatmore, 63, is an international cricket coach, now in India, who started his career in Australia where he played seven Tests as a right-hand batsman and slips fieldsman, before retiring in 1989. He attended Mentone Grammar School. Whatmore coached Sri Lanka (where he was born) to a famous World Cup win in 1996, then led Bangladesh to its first ever Test win, followed by coaching stints in India, Zimbabwe and Pakistan. He coached the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League and recently signed with Chennai-based Sri Ramachandra University to head the Whatmore Centre for Cricket, as well as coach the Kerala Cricket Association. Ms Whatmore said Tina Walker, first wife of former Test legend Max Walker who died last year, and Helen Yallop – wife of former captain Graham Yallop – helped lay down informal

guidelines and customs to assist the younger wives and girlfriends fit in and feel comfortable while on tour. “The new wives started to be better looked after and, as they say, ‘happy wife, happy life’,” she said. Ms Whatmore remembers settling at Bittern after selling the family home in Carnegie a decade ago. “I’d always loved the Mornington Peninsula but was looking at the Port Phillip side. Someone suggested we look around Western Port and we loved it. “We were in Sri Lanka when I asked my daughter to take a look at a house for sale at Bittern and she said: ‘That’s the one for you, mum’. So we sold the family home and moved down here and have loved it ever since.

“People don’t realise how fortunate we are to live in Australia, she said. “I hear people complain, but we live in such a beautiful part of the world.” A constant in their married life is that Whatmore has travelled continually, both as a player and coach. “He’s been home once this year but won’t be home again until next year,” she said. “We’ve been married 36 years and I am incredibly proud of him. He is very fit and has no plans to retire. He’s terrific in the way he just gets on with it. “People think he is strict and serious but he can also play jokes. He’s a wonderful manmanager who puts himself last and has great integrity.”

Decision delayed on Cruden Farm homes plan A DECISION to push ahead with a residential subdivision in part of Langwarrin’s Cruden Farm has been delayed until later in the year. A planning application due to be discussed by Frankston councillors at August’s public council meeting on Monday 14 August was withdrawn by the trustees of the former homestead of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch. Frankston Council was set to deliberate on the contentious proposal to rezone parcels of land within the 54-hectare estate for residential development. State Labor Planning Minister Richard Wynne would have to agree to move the Urban Growth Boundary to accommodate the building of more than 100 homes on about 15 hectares of land south of Cranbourne Rd and

east of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway. The idyllic 54-hectare estate was Dame Elisabeth Murdoch’s home for eight decades before her death in 2012 at the age of 103. Dame Elisabeth was the mother of News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch. The estate was transferred into the name of Cruden Custodian Limited in 2013 and its trustees include several grandchildren of Dame Elisabeth but not the media mogul himself. Its gardens are sometimes open to the public and the estate hosts community and charity events at the behest of Dame Elisabeth who was a renowned philanthropist. A report by consultancy firm Urbis, commissioned by the Cruden Farm trus-

tees, has been obtained under freedom of information from Frankston Council by the Defenders of the South East Green Wedge. The group is opposed to the carve up of green wedge land for residential development. The Urbis report proposes opening up Cruden Farm as a “tourism gateway” for the Mornington Peninsula and mentions the possibility of “third party private sector operators” using part of the grounds for “commercial uses” such as a cafe or art gallery while the rest of the property is operated on a “not for profit” basis. The report also suggests schools could visit Cruden Farm for horticulture education purposes. The Urbis report reveals: “Discussions with Frankston City Council have

identified the potential for the Council’s indigenous plant nursery to be relocated to Cruden Farm, offering further learning opportunities in indigenous planting, bushland regeneration, and plant propagation.” Council’s indigenous nursery is currently located at McCulloch Avenue in Seaford. Defenders spokesman Barry Ross said the group is “not opposed to a lot of things suggested” but there is concern that “the gracious feel of Cruden Farm could be jeopardised”. “We think that the green wedge is sacred and shouldn’t be touched. There is a commitment to a permanent urban growth boundary,” Mr Ross said. “If the government approves this we’ll have a whole lot of other people on the boundary wanting their land rezoned as

well. It will open up the floodgates.” It is understood the trustees withdrew the planning application for consideration at August’s council meeting to include more detail in the proposal. Mr Ross noted the Urbis report did not include any financial figures to justify the trustees’ assertions that proceeds from the sale of the land for homes construction are needed to keep the grounds of Dame Elisabeth’s former homestead open to the public for generations to come. “It doesn’t substantiate it from a financial point of view. We don’t know what kind of income they’re getting in now, we don’t know what their expenses are.” The planning application may now be submitted to council in November. Neil Walker

Responsibilities come with pet ownership I don’t hate dogs or cats or any other creature and I’m sure no one at Mornington Peninsula Shire Council would either. It seems ownership and responsibility or lack of it is a concerning problem. I have worked on dairy and beef farms with cattle, pigs, chooks, horses, owned a dog, cat, budgie and other birds, and I can say every animal has its very own personality. It’s always sad to hear of a dog or cat turning up at a pound and then being euthanased because of a problem that’s created by us. Us, is how they got there in the first place. Pointing the finger at our council to be kinder and sort it out in some way or other seems irresponsible while we all go home and pat our pets, eat our beef patties, chicken stir fry, pork sausages, lamb shanks, eggs from locked up chickens that are given a square metre of dirt to walk on so as to call it free range. Think of the life some other creatures have to endure, held in captivity before being slaughtered enabling us to reap and enjoy whatever it is we want from them. Let’s not forget to mention those wild animals that are unfortunate not to make it to the pound. Blasted from their habitat as game, or a bullet to the head because they’re now a pest, or suffer a long painful death by poisoning called conservation. Owning a pet comes with long-term responsibilities, and we can all help to unburden council and volunteers if the simple rules were followed in the first place. Register your pet, obey all regulations, give it love, and care for its health, know where it is and, if you don’t want it anymore, try to find a new owner yourself. John Blogg, Somers

Special mention How would you like to receive a demand for more than $4000 from your local council – over and above the normal rates you pay? This happened recently to a small group of residents. For years Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has implemented special charge schemes to build concrete footpaths throughout the shire. Most residents have never heard of these schemes until they are hit with a huge bill. In tough financial times when everyday costs such as private health cover, gas, electricity and education costs are racing ahead of wages this has not stopped our council imposing a major financial burden on a handful of unsuspecting

ratepayers each year. Incredibly, not everyone who gets a new footpath has to pay the charge. Those affected do not get to vote on the matter and the only avenue of appeal (VCAT) is costly and unlikely to succeed. Why shouldn’t the council have to live within its means (using annual rate revenues) as do the residents it represents? The state government has now capped council rate increases, so some financial restraint by the shire should follow. But as the council knows a special charge scheme allows it to impose additional costs on residents and get around the rate capping restriction. It’s an easily exploited loophole. Faced with a significant resident backlash against these unfair charges the council has developed a Draft Special Charge Scheme Policy - now available for comment on its website. This draft is deficient in a number of areas. In particular, it should give affected residents the right to vote down a proposed scheme if it is seen as unreasonable, too costly and unfair. I would urge readers to respond to the draft and let council know that these schemes are unwelcome unless the majority of ratepayers involved are supportive. Geoff Allen, Sorrento

Centrelink blues The Mornington Peninsula has a high proportion of age pensioners and age part pensioners like myself. Part pensioners need to report changes in their income and assets to Centrelink on a regular basis because Centrelink directs that significant changes must be reported within two weeks. In the past I have written letters to them when my income and or assets have changed and have reasonably quickly had my pension adjusted accordingly. This year however I have found it very difficult, in fact impossible, to get the message through. I sent a letter on 7 April detailing my financial position but have received no response and no adjustment to my pension. I sent a reminder on 16 June, again without response. In desperation I went online to see if I could fix it, but got the message on screen that “updates are not possible at this time , try again later”. I really am at a loss what to do. It seems like Centrelink is just not functioning and I am concerned that when I finally get my financial position updated they may want me to pay money back, which is always very difficult. Another problem this year was that I bought

shares and needed to do a tax return. I waited until this week before starting my return online because I was waiting for my income statement from Centrelink, but found on enquiry that they had not sent them out since 2013 and it is necessary to request one online. I had not completed a tax return in recent years because I fell below the income threshold so I was unaware that this was the case. How on earth do those people get on who are not up to speed on computers? It seems to me that this is just another instance of our federal government’s incompetence. James McLoughlin, Balnarring

False information A Sorrento focussed group with no grasp of the issue claims to be very pleased with the outcome of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s decision about the Rye boat/jetski ramp. A real estate agent who has obviously been told a story but not checked if it was true (“Welcome decision” Letters 8/8/2017) says “hurrah” for that same decision. There are people, including councillors, who have been told Rye has a safety issue. No marine statistics substantiate this claim. There is the dubious belief that expansion will fix the algae and dredging issue. Isn’t that about lack of shire maintenance? A false story was put about claiming Rye would get no funding for the boat ramp, or the township plan, if council didn’t vote for the expansion. Another false story said it is only a minority group against the boat/jet ski expansion. Facts show there were 175 objections and only six for the expansion. Petition signatures show 1392 against and 362 for. By the way the “for” submissions appeared long after the closing date. Those opposing the boat/jet ski expansion (and it does include boaties) have only offered facts as their argument. This resident majority has been marginalised by councillors who, obviously, never questioned what shire officers were telling them. It seems everyone’s opinion is valid except the majority opposing the shire’s plans, which will ruin the future enjoyment of the foreshore and beach for the majority of users. Spare us all from ignoramuses and hedonists, as soon there will be nothing left of the coastal foreshore for the majority to enjoy. Mechelle Cheers, Rye

Barbarous treatment I am sickened by the barbarity shown by Australia’s treatment of refugees on Manus Island, [including] forcing them out of the detention centre by cutting power and water. Sanitation and cleaning stopped. To what end? To force them into East Lorengau where the local people

don’t want them. We, via Immigration, are treating refugees brutally. Why do we behave like fascist bullies? Deterrence, we are told. This is horrible. Shame, shame, shame. This is not my Australia. Patricia Rayner, Somers

Transport petition I would like to thank The News for giving us coverage to help advertise our petition for a complete bus service review on the Mornington Peninsula. It helped create more interest as we went to collect signatures. I would also like to thank businesses for their help in having the petition in their shops and for the helpers that stood on cold streets collecting signatures. Also, thanks to the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s sustainable transport project for advice and support. Keep an eye open as there is more action coming up as a follow up to the petition. Once again, a very big thanks to everyone that spent the time in signing the petition. Bob Dalmau, chairman Peninsula Residential Parks and Villages Group

Everyday terror Counter terrorism police in Sydney have allegedly foiled a plot to bring down a plane using a bomb hidden inside a meat grinder. Who travels with a meat grinder? There is, though, a twisted logic to the choice of this meat grinder. The meat industry is built on terror. Animals bred to be slaughtered have few legal protections. Young cows are branded with hot irons, their horns are cut or burned off and males have their testicles ripped out of their scrotums – all without painkillers. Chickens spend their short lives in filthy sheds with tens of thousands of other birds and are crammed into cages and sent to slaughter when they are only six or seven weeks old. Piglets are torn away from their distraught mothers, their tails are chopped off, the ends of their teeth are snipped off with pliers and males are castrated with no pain relief. Lambs are crammed onto trucks and transported for up to 48 hours with no access to food or water then slaughtered, surrounded by the smells of blood and faeces and the screams of their companions. Fish are impaled, crushed, suffocated or cut open and gutted, all while they’re fully conscious. We are surrounded by terror, and the symbolism of the meat grinder bomb illustrates the words of Pythagoras in 500BC: “For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love.” Ashley Fruno, ssociate director, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Australia

Young leaders tackle pollution plight BANYAN Reserve wetlands in Carrum Downs was just the place for 100 young “marine ambassadors” to see and smell the tonnes of rubbish emptied from a gross pollution trap last week. The pupils – from St Macartans, Mornington, Kunyung, Mt Eliza and Woodlands, Frankston – investigated the trap which is designed to stop stormwater pollutants from being washed down from streets and entering Port Phillip Bay. The wetlands are described by Dolphin Research Institute executive director Jeff Weir as a world-class example of how to treat stormwater pollution. “Litter traps capture the larger pollution,” he said. “The ponds let sediment settle and the plant life takes up many of the soluble pollutants. “In moderate rains, the water will be quite clean by the time it leaves this site and flows into the bay via Kananook Creek. “In big storms, it overflows and everything goes into the bay. Most drains don’t have these systems and empty directly into the creeks and rivers that flow to our bays.

“Treatment systems help when they are present, but the best solution is to stop things getting into drains in the first place.” The ambassadors’ experience was part of the Dolphin Research Institute’s ‘I sea, I care’ School Ambassador Program. The pupils are trained as peer educators who go back to their schools to share their experiences. The goal is to reduce pollutants entering drains and, ultimately, threatening our marine environment. “The institute is concerned about the link between water quality in the bay and the health of our dolphins,” Mr Weir said. “If it’s not safe for us to swim in our bay after rain, then it’s also not safe for our dolphins either. “We need to do much better.” The DRI is currently working on a major dolphin health study funded by the federal government.

Get tanked before the dry weather arrives TERRY Miller has been in the concrete tank business for over 38 years. Being from country North Victoria himself, Barawartha, Terry realises the importance of good water storage systems. Concrete water tanks built correctly will last a lifetime. They keep your water cool, clean and algae free. This is because the tanks have 5-inch walls and a 6-inch base, and are poured with 40-mpa strength concrete not 25 or 30mpa. We also use plasticiser to keep up the strength in the tanks instead of water. After 28 days curing the strength of the concrete will be 48 and 52 mpa. Each tank is poured individually on site. These tanks come out white, which is a sign of the strength of the tanks. The MPA is a measure of how much concrete there is as parts per 1000. The walls of the tanks are vibrated all around to make ensure that there are no air bubbles and that the concrete is compacted down. Terry generally builds tanks in three sizes, 50,000,

105,000 and 120,000 either with silo roof, concrete top or open top tanks. The tanks will not blow away or fall apart, this is particularly important high wind or fire prone districts. For fire prone areas they highly recommend concrete tanks rather than tin or plastic. In the event of a fire, a large tank (120,000 litres) can supply water back up to the main house. By setting up a petrol powered generator and pumping water up onto the house directly, via a reverse water sprinkler system, homes can be kept cool and wet. If need be, the tank can be used as protection to keep cool from flames and radiant heat. Water is our most important resource, and we cannot have too much of it. So for all your water storage needs and you are thinking of installing a tank, please call Terry on 0419 462 814 for an obligation free quote or go online www. terrymillerconcretetanks.com.au.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Young woman hit by car and killed in Mornington Compiled by Cameron McCullough A FATAL motor accident occurred at Mornington on Wednesday afternoon, (says the “Age”.) As Mr Albert Dawson, of Two Bay’s Nursery was crossing the street with his sister, Elsie ( Mabe) Dawson, a motor Car, driven an ordinary pace by Mr George Weigall, came round a corner, and before they could get clear it struck Miss Dawson to the ground, passing over her body. Mr Weigall who had observed them too late to prevent a collision, immediately pulled up the car. Miss Dawson, who was unconscious, and suffering from internal injuries, was conveyed to her home where she was attended by Dr Bird. The case was pronounced hopeless. Death occurred at 10 o’clock. Miss Dawson was 22 years of age. The funeral took place at Mornington on Thursday. *** THE “Australian.” Club will hold a dance in the Mechanics’ Hall this evening, to which all are welcome. *** MESSRS Adamson Strettle will hold their usual sale at Tanti, on Monday next for which good entries are advertised. *** THE infant son of Mr and Mrs J. Williams, of Frankston, is in hospital, very seriously ill. *** CR Oates invites the ratepayers of the North Riding of the Shire to attend a meeting at the Frankston Mechanics’, on Wednesday evening next, to hear him give an account of his stewardship during the last six years, as their repre-

sentative at the Council table. *** IN the course of an article on the treatment of pastures for the prevention of cripples, etc., in cattle in the Victorian Journal of Agriculture for the present month there is an interesting account by one of the Government Dairy Inspectors of a visit to the farms of the Misses Baxter at Mt Eliza and of Messrs Grindal and Jones of Moorooduc. *** THE Belgian cushion which was raffled by Miss Martindale has realized the sum of £2 3s for the Lady Mayoress’ Patriotic League. Mrs Scott, of Port Melbourne, is the winner of the cushion, holding ticket No 121. Miss Martindale is very grateful for the help she received from her Frankston friends. *** THE Pageant of Loyalty which was to have taken place in Frankston on Saturday last, and had to be postponed for the second time, on account of very wet weather, is to take place on Saturday, September 1st, and promises to be even a greater success than was ever anticipated. Larger committees have been formed and everybody is setting about their work in a manner which can only mean success. All bodies who expected, and had promised to take part in the proceedings, will look upon September 1st as a settled date, and one which will long be remembered. A grand concert is arranged to take place in the evening. *** AS a great number of people had hired

fancy costumes, to take part in the procession, and were unable to wear them on account of the wet day, a fancy dress dance was held on Saturday night, and many fine costumes were worn. Eighteen pence and one shilling was the price of admission, and over ten pounds was taken at the door, which will go towards paying the Pageant of Loyalty expenses. The “Wattle” Club gave the refreshments, having provided more than was necessary for the soldiers in the afternoon. Dancing was indulged in till twelve o’clock to music supplied by Mr Brierley, and a very happy evening was spent. *** Frankston Court of Petty Sessions. Monday August 13th, 1917. (Before Mr Cohen. P.M. and Messrs Williams, Oates, Crawford Grant, Murray and McLean Js.P.) CRUELTY TO A HORSE. F. C Ryan, Constable of police v Peter Nicotingo.Mr Cook appeared for the complainant. F. V. Taylor deposed that he was a motor garage a proprietor residing at Frankston. Remembered Friday 27th July. Saw accused on that day bring his horse into the yard of the Pier Hotel, and put it in the stable. The horse was in very poor condition. Accused made no provision for feeding the horse. Accused never rang witness up asking him to feed or water the animal. A. Evens deposed that he saw accused put the horse in the stable and corroborated the evidence of the former witness. The saddle and bridle were left on

the horse. Const Ryan deposed that he visited the Pier Hotel stables on 28th July, and saw a grey horse in a very emaciated condition. It was tied up with the bridle on and the bit in its mouth. He saw no sign of water or feed. On the Sunday following, the defendant went to him about the horse. He acknowledged that he had not left any instructions, with regard to feeding or watering the horse. For the defence accused said he was called hurridly to Melbourne on account of his mother’s illness and when he did not return the same evening he telephoned to Taylor the next duty to look after the horse. The Bench held the accused guilty, but on account of him being a pensioner and in ill health they would let him off with a fine of 20s in default 7 days imprisonment with 21s coats. USING UTTERANCES PREJUDICIAL TO RECRUITING Chas A. Tait appeared to answer the above charge. Mr Williams, instructed by an officer of the Crown Law Department appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Sunniberg for the defence. In outlining the case Mr Williams said the words were spoken by accused at a dinner given at the Pier Hotel on the evening of the 29th June when during an interval a lady asked the chairman’s permission to say a few words in favor of recruiting. Permission was given, and it was whilst the lady was speaking that the accused rose and said he objected to anyone speaking in favor, of recruiting and any woman who persuaded a man

to enlist, and that man was killed, was a murderess, and if a man did so he was a murderer. The accused was asked to retire from the room but refused to do so, when he was escorted to the door by two returned soldiers, he retired. Jas Grice, sworn, deposed that he remembered the evening of 29th June. Was chairman at dinner given at Pier Hotel on that evening. He gave permission for Mrs Heymenson to address those assembled. Accused objected to the lady speaking, and said she was as bad as a murderess. He was asked to withdraw his statement but he said he would not. He was then asked to leave the room and when he refused Messrs Taylor and Dial escorted him to the door. He was not the worse for drink. Messrs Taylor, Young, Brody and Mrs Heymenson corroborated the evidence of Mr Grice. Const Ryan said that he saw accused on the 8th July last when he handed the constable a written statement (which was read in court.) In the statement the accused said his mind was a blank to all that had occurred after he entered the supper room that evening, and he had no recollection of anything that had occurred, He must have been out of his mind at the time, and was very sorry for what he had said. He was a loyal subject and subscribed liberally to patriotic funds. The Bench considered the offence proved and the accused was fined £25 with £7 7s costs. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 18 August 1917

Fist Bump Your Way to Glory By Stuart McCullough IT’S weird, when you think about it. In fact, if you give it any more than a moment’s thought, it’s downright bizarre. The idea of greeting someone by offering your hand to them so that they might place their palm against yours while a pair of conjoined knuckles bump up and down – it’s a ritual from another age. For starters, it’s desperately unhygienic. Not to mention the fact that some people – try as they might – just can’t do it properly. Too soft and it’s a sign of weakness. Too rough and people will either think your unhinged or President Trump; if, indeed, those two things are in fact different. The origins of the handshake go right back to at least the fifth century BC, probably right after the first ever tennis match. It’s believed that the ritual developed as a gesture of peace, a way of demonstrating that you were unarmed. Notwithstanding the irony of proving that you’re unarmed by offering your hand, a custom developed and has been with us ever since. Frankly, it’s unnecessary. I shouldn’t have to prove to you that I am not packing heat. That much should be assumed. And it’s strange that something that’s meant to be a friendly gesture could, in fact, be passing on scabies. There are different types of handshakes. The scouting movement prefers to shake with the left hand, catching the unwitting off their guard. Doubtless, the reverse handshake owes much to the scouting motto – ‘Be Prepared’. If you’re ready when someone thrusts his greasy southpaw in your direction, you’re pretty much ready for anything. Freemasons (apparently) have a secret handshake. There’s also the ‘double hander’ in which you use your free left hand to grip the recipient’s forearm. It’s either a gesture of intimacy or preparation for a judo throw. The world’s record for the longest handshake was set in 2008. Clocking in at nine hours and thirty minutes, Kevin Whittaker and Cory Jens

entered the handshake hall of fame. I’m not sure how you’d go about congratulating someone for an achievement of that nature. Normally, you’d shake hands, but that seems like overkill in this instance. Clearly, though, this was a record that was highly coveted and it was broken the following year by Jack Tsonis and Lindsay Morrison who shook hands for a staggering twelve hours and thirty four minutes. I can only hope they’re still on speaking terms. Sadly, there was barely time to bask in the afterglow of their achievement before their record was smashed the following week by Matthew Rosen and Joe Ackerman who took it north of fif-

teen hours and presumably had nothing better to do. In January 2011, the record book was rewritten with four people sharing the honours. Alistair Galpin, Don Purdon and brothers, Rohish and Santosh Timilsina succeeded in shaking hands for thirty three hours and three minutes. That’s more than a day. I’m not sure what the mechanics of a handshake like that must be or how they navigate the call of nature, but I suspect there would be moments when a handshake of such dimensions would be confronting. It’s obvious that we’ve taken the handshake just about as far as it can go. It’s time we moved on to something that’s ‘next level’.

Say a big ‘hello’ to the fist bump. In stark contrast to the handshake, there’s little in the way of contact and, therefore, a lot less bacteria. But it’s got so much more than its hygienic superiority in its favour. The handshake has its origins in proving you don’t have a weapon. It’s practically a gesture of surrender. The fist bump, however, comes to us from the sport of boxing. It’s a sign of respect. A handshake is just a handshake. But a fist bump has lots of other incredibly cool names, like the ‘power five’, ‘PIB’ (which stands for ‘pound it bro’) and, my personal favourite, ‘pibbys’. More than that, a fist bump was how the Wonder Twins transformed themselves into some other object. Barely an episode of ‘Super Friends’ passed by without Zan and Jayna performing an alien fist bump and declaring ‘Wonder Twin powers – activate!’ You don’t get superpowers with a handshake. Not ever. Sweaty palms? No problem. With a power five, no one need ever know. Concerned that your handshake will betray you as never having done a day’s manual labour in your life? Well fear no more. The fist bump has you well and truly covered. Fit for any occasion, it’s truly a greeting for the twenty first century. So don’t be shy. Whether you’re being interviewed for a big new job or congratulating the parish priest after the Sunday ceremony, give the fist bump a whirl. And if the person you’re trying to greet looks confused at your attempt to give a power five, don’t despair. You’ll be able to comfort yourself that your proposed greeting has just a fraction of the germs as well as being the salutation of choice of many of world’s most talented sports people. As for me, I’m not sure I ever really mastered the handshake. So if you see me down the street, don’t be offended if I decline to shake your hand. Just offer me pibbys and we’ll be fine. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

IN CONCERT A nostalgic evening with Isla... Accompanied by AL GRANT & GLEN FLYNN

Featuring her new album

I’m A Survivor

TUE 19 SEP | ARTS CENTRE thefac.com.au (03) 9784 1060 GRAND-CONCERTS.COM

SCOTTISH SINGER-SONGWRITER ISLA GRANT HITS FRANKSTON Following her 2015 triumphant sell-out concert performances, Scotland’s legendary singer-songwriter ISLA GRANT returns to Australia with exciting new songs from her latest album release “I’m A Survivor” - plus her extensive repertoire of most loved music. The ever-popular singer will be touring with her equally talented husband AL GRANT and singer and multi-instrumentalist GLEN FLYNN. As an Internationally acclaimed recording artist ISLA GRANT’s distinctive voice encompasses all genres from country folk songs to easy listening compliments an evening of old favourites to new songs - this has established her as a major recording artist in the USA, Canada, U.K, Australia and New Zealand. The Triple-Platinum Recording singer-songwriter ISLA GRANT in Concert promises to be an unmissable event. ISLA GRANT hails from Scotland and a household name in Ireland and has developed a large following here in Australia and New Zealand. She started out as a folk singer, but these days she’s known as a singer/song writer whose music style crosses from country/folk to easy listening... The Allanton, Berwickshire based ISLA GRANT never had any doubts about career ambitions, having grown up around music, her father was a piper, her mother was a singer and her grandfather a fiddler. From the age of 14 Isla was performing in the folk clubs of Glasgow and Edinburgh.“The big acts working the folk clubs, at the time, were Eddie & Finbar Furey, The Dubliners & Billy Connolly, who was a member of the group named “The Humblebums” she recalled. A few years later Isla took her

music South of the Border, to the clubs of Northeast England, a tough learning ground for any newcomer in the business, where audiences clearly let it be known if they didn’t like a performance. Someone once remarked, “If you can work these clubs, you can work anywhere!” ISLA GRANT passed her apprenticeship with flying colours. Around this time her music moved away from folk to country and she started listening to the music of Merle Haggard, “He is possibly the finest country artist of them all, his songs have got me through a lot of hard times over the years”. The club scene also brought her in contact with Al, who was heading up his own band. They married in 1992, after having worked as Isla Grant & Al Young. ISLA GRANT had built up a considerable repertoire, but facing an audience again would be a traumatic ordeal. However, having made the decision she appeared at a theatre in Kelso, where she received an immediate & enthusiastic response and she soon overcame all fear & trepidation.A recording deal was struck with a record company in Dublin, who also represent Foster & Allen. Now after 11 albums, some of which have gone triple platinum, ISLA GRANT has branched out and started her own record label (I.G.E) and released her first album on her own label in October 2008. ISLA GRANT now tours the world and has an ever-increasing fan base that enthusiastically support her live concerts and album releases.

Redlegs win after siren and move into five PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt MT ELIZA moved back inside the top five in MPNFL Peninsula Division on Sunday after an after-the-siren victory against Mornington at Alexandra Park. James Hammond took a wonderful pack park in the goal square with just seconds on the clock and then went back and converted after the siren to hand the Redlegs a five point win. Despite the fact that an inexperienced, more committed Mornington side appeared the better side all afternoon, Mt Eliza always seemed to have the answers at the right time. Warwick Miller was clearly the most influential and best player on the ground with seven goals for Mornington but it wasn’t enough to claim the victory. The Redlegs are now inside the top five by less than two per cent, pushing Seaford out of the top bracket. In the final game of the season, Seaford plays Bonbeach at Bonbeach while Mt Eliza hosts bottom of the ladder Langwarrin. The final five is now set. It what was a critical game for Seaford against Edithvale-Aspendale at home on Saturday. Despite drawing level in the last quarter, the Tigers went down by seven points, 11.14 (80) to 12.15 (87). The loss dropped the Tigers out of the top five, equal on points with Mt Eliza by two percent in arrears. The Tigers lost the game with a poor first quarter, down by 31 points at the first change. They rallied until the end but once again the Eagles showed they are true contenders for the title. Charlie Martello snagged four for

the winners and Jeremy Heys and Timmy Mannix were superb. Curtus Murfett, Rourke Fischer and Damian Rayson were superb for the Tigers. Pines returned the winner’s list on Saturday after four straight losses, beating Chelsea by 10 goals. The game was tight early but the Pythons shifted up a gear in the second half, booting 10 goals to four to win 18.12 (120) to 9.6 (60). The Pythons seemed to have lost their way since star Aaron Edwards went down with a knee injury but they regained their mojo on Saturday. Pythons coach Pat Swayne said on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that his side had been maintaining its standards in every area, other than conversion. “Aaron was converting his opportunities in front of goal at 87 per cent – that’s ridiculous accuracy,” Swayne said. “We have been right there in our losses and all of our other key performance indicators like contested footy, inside 50’s etc have been consistent all season. It was just that conversion that was hurting us. “Against Seaford last week we had our chances but booted 1.5 and two out-of-bounds on the full. You can’t win games with that return,” Swayne said. It’s conversion as pretty good on Saturday, booting 18 of 30 opportunities at goal. More impressively, Pines had 10 contributors on the scoreboard. Despite the loss, it’s been an exciting week for the Seagulls with Brett Dunne handing over the coaching reigns to James Brain in 2018. Dunne has done a superb job with the club since taking over as coach and has

provided great stability after having five coaches in five seasons. He has been well-supported by the hard working executive and committee at the club also. Current Mordialloc-Braeside Under 17 coach Dan Knopers will take over the Gull’s Under 19s next season in another exciting development or the club. More exciting news at Karingal too with Michael Burke declaring he will go around again next season to celebrate the new social rooms and of course be around to help celebrate the 300th game of great mate Luke VanRaay, who is missing at the moment with a knee injury. Burke, who is tipped to win his 10th club best and fairest this season, is showing no signs of slowing down. Unfortunately though on Saturday against Bonbeach, the Bulls were not able to push in the second half, going down by 39 points, 13.6 (84) to 6.9 (45). Riley Hodson “brought his own footy” to Lloyd Park in Frankston YCW’s 16.18 (114) to 6.5 (41) win against Langwarrin. Hodson booted five majors and was the best player on the ground in what was Craig Nankervis’ 250th game for the club. Nankervis was only the seventh player in the club’s history to play 250 games.

By Toe Punt THE battle for a place in the top five will come down to the final game of the season this Saturday in MPNFL Nepean Division football. Red Hill and Dromana are separated in fifth and sixth position by just 1.64 percent going into the final round. Red Hill faces Tyabb and Dromana plays Rye in the last game. The Hillmen went into Saturday’s round holding a .6 per cent lead over Dromana, however, with a convincing 78-point victory over Crib Point, were able to extend their margin (121.76 per cent v 120.12 per cent). Dromana too faced a tough contest against Pearcedale at Pearcedale but walked away with a 77-point victory. Meanwhile, Rosebud booted the last three goals of the game in the final 12 minutes in the last quarter to force a drawn game with Hastings. The Blues’ form had been strong coming into the clash with narrow losses against the competition’s powerhouses Sorrento and Frankston Bombers. At the 14-minute mark of the last quarter, Hastings’ star Paul Rogasch booted his sixth goal of the match and extended the margin to what appeared to be a match-winning 17 points. However, a snap from Aaron Rose and a conversion to Brenton Payne in the dying minutes dragged the scores to 10.12 (72) apiece.

Anthony Pegg and Sean Downie were superb for the Buds while Rogasch, Stevey Robb and Matt Clifford on Keegan Downie were fantastic for the Blues. It was Rosebud’s first match against a top side in the past two months. However, it would need to improve considerably on that performance on Saturday to be considered a genuine threat for the title. Chris Irving booted seven goals and was dominant for Red Hill against Crib Point, helping his side to a 19.22 (136) to 9.4 (58) win. Brad Davidson booted four second-half goals and Luke Herrington played arguably his best game of the season. Matt Hammond and Rikki Johnston booted four goals each in Dromana’s 20.13 (133) to 8.8 (56) win against Pearcedale. In what appeared to be a danger game for the Tigers, they were able to boot 11 goals to four after half time. Shaun Clarke was again outstanding, this time pushing forward and booting three goals. Andrejs Everitt made it nine goals in two weeks after booting four majors in Somerville’s 14.20 (104) to 4.7 (31) victory over Tyabb. Timmy McGenniss and Benny Sedgewick were outstanding in the win. In the final game, Sam Fox booted six goals and Jason Kingsbury four in Frankston’s strong 18.18 (126) to 8.5 (53) win against Devon Meadows.

No quarter given: Rosebud and Hastings played out a dramatic draw at the weekend. Picture: Rab Siddhi Southern Peninsula News

MPNFL clubs ‘to take control’ By Toe Punt MORNINGTON Peninsula Nepean Football League clubs may be forced to investigate alternative administration to manage their competition after their calls for a structure not involving South East Nepean Football Netball (SENFL) clubs once again fell on AFL South East deaf ears at a meeting held last Wednesday night. MPNFL club delegates met at Frankston Bombers last week and once again voted unanimously against any divisional structure that included South East Nepean Football Netball (SENFL) clubs. However, AFL South East General Manager John Anderson, who asked if he could attend the meeting, once again refused to provide his views on the proposal. What Mr Anderson was keen to push across though was his claims that a number of clubs wrote to him after the proforma letter was sent to

say they supported divisional football. He would not share details of who those clubs were. Regardless, for the second time in a month, clubs in attendance voted unanimously against the AFL South East recommendations of a three-tier divisional structure involving SENFL. Mr Anderson was joined at the meeting by AFL South East commissioners, former Frankston YCW star Paul Theobald and former EdithvaleAspendale president Ted Turner. MPNFL clubs may be left with no other choice but to seek alternatives to their governance. Meanwhile, SENFL Clubs are also feeling frustrated over the constant procrastination of the region’s governing body to make a decision, given it was supposed to hand down recommendations at the end of 2016. Already this year, the submission period was extended, despite the MPNFL’s staunch stance, whilst a commission decision was deferred last

week to 21 August. There’s still no guarantee that a decision will be made on 21 August, despite recommendations being heard on that date by the commission. In a landscape that currently seems shaky, one thing is for certain, SENFL clubs are becoming increasingly frustrated, their hands tied in planning for 2018. Kahl Heinze, a former Narre Warren president and a key member in leading the Casey-Cardinia breakaway from the MPNFL, took to social media to express his frustrations. “It’s been said before – the answer that’s best for SENFL Clubs is an en-masse move to Southern Football League to create a new premier division,” Mr Heinze wrote. “AFL SE has ignored this completely the whole time. Nepean and Peninsula have been steadfast in their stance for three years so divisional football was never going to involve the MPNFL Leagues. “I’m sorry

to say this but the AFLSE has been asleep at the wheel on this one – politics and regional commission boundaries have proven to be more important to our governing body than the survival of clubs in the SENFL. “Maybe it’s time for a review into the effectiveness of the AFLSE itself,” he said. It is believed that the struggling Hampton Park is seeking a lifeline in the Southern League, leaving just eight SENFL clubs, something they are not enthusiastic about with fees split between fewer clubs putting additional financial pressure on the clubs. A number of SENFL Clubs, including Pakenham, Cranbourne and Beaconsfield, released statements last week supporting AFL South East’s stance on a divisional structure involving MPNFL clubs. The alternatives being flagged by the SENFL Clubs are to join a neigh-

bouring league en-masse or going it alone to seek new homes which would fracture and eventually break the SENFL competition. SENFL clubs are clearly understanding and supportive of the MPNFL clubs’ plight, although they are rightly and understandably seeking the best interests of themselves and the future of their own competition. The MPNFL clubs are doing the same thing and it doesn’t involve SENFL. So, is a decision made based on the best interests of eight or nine clubs who generally admit geographically it doesn’t make sense or do MPNFL clubs get listened to? If AFL South East’s stance on Wednesday night is any indication, then divisional football will be introduced regardless of the unanimous thoughts of its member clubs. With that, the clubs just may feel they have little choice but to seek alternative administration.

Season on the line for Langwarrin, Mornington SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN and Mornington go head-to-head on Saturday at Lawton Park in the most anticipated contest on the peninsula for years. At stake is a place in next season’s National Premier League second division and the honour of becoming the first local outfit to gain entry to Victoria’s elite club competition. Langy’s lead in the race for the State 1 South-East title was cut to five points over Mornington last weekend. While Gus Macleod’s side had to settle for a point in a controversial 0-0 draw away to Manningham United, Adam Jamieson’s men were engineering a stunning 3-2 come-from-behind away win over Caulfield United Cobras. Caulfield’s Mario Hofmann had Mornington on the back foot when he opened the scoring after just four minutes and two excellent defensive plays inside the area by youngster Charlie Parker stopped the home side from increasing its lead. On both occasions, Parker didn’t dive in but used his body well to first outmanoeuvre beanpole striker Cort Kibler-Melby in the 24th minute then Hofmann in the 36th minute. Then the man that can’t stop scoring, Sammy Orritt, levelled in the 38th minute from close range. A minute later Wayne Gordon made it 2-1 when he came steaming in at the back post to hammer home Ryan Paczkowski’s cutback from the left of the area. A minute into the second period Gordon headed wide from point-blank range following Keegan Ziada’s cross from the left and Caulfield keeper Dennys Martin did well to parry a Paczkowski shot in the 66th minute following a fine pass from Scott Millar. Four minutes later Caulfield midfielder Joe Summerbell curled his shot onto the bar after a great run by Chris Smack but Caulfield captain Danny Topping’s back post header in the 75th minute made it 2-2. Jamieson rolled the dice by bringing on central defensive stalwart Stevie Elliott and playing him up front and it was a gamble that would pay enormous dividends. With Mornington’s title tilt in the balance and the clock ticking over into the second minute of time added Orritt

gained possession wide on the right. He jinked this way and that creating enough room for a cross and when he delivered he put the ball on a plate for Elliott who came thundering in to power his header home for the decider. The celebrations which followed showed how much this meant to Mornington’s players, bench and supporters. Meanwhile up at Park Avenue Reserve the travelling Langy fans were bemoaning referee Manny Haractsis’ decision to ignore penalty appeals in the 89th minute. Substitute Navin Vellupilay played a one-two with Alex Metcalfe then was felled inside the area but play was waved on. A few minutes earlier gun Langy import Connor Belger had broken through into a one-on-one with Manningham keeper Mathew Banovic but shot wide with the goal at his mercy. Despite Belger’s miss, he remains the man who holds the key to Langy’s fortunes this weekend while the club will test the fitness of defender Kieron Kenny and striker Liam Baxter. 15 August 2017

There’s little doubt that one of the men Langy must curtail is 24-year-old Englishman Orritt. His signing in June has been a masterstroke and he has become Mornington’s talisman. The former Rotherham United junior has taken State 1 by storm with nine goals in seven games and is a class act. While the title race is yet to be decided no such doubt exists in the State 1 South-East reserves competition with Ronnie Whitton’s Langwarrin defeating Manningham 1-0 to clinch the championship. Substitute Mitch Blake scored the winner in the 80th minute. Langy’s closest rival was Clifton Hill but it went down 4-2 to St Kilda while Mornington took over second spot with a 4-0 win in curious circumstances. Both Caulfield and Mornington reserves squads arrived at Victory Park to find that the ground hadn’t been marked out but referee Dragoslav Mirkovic was in a benevolent mood and allowed the game to start 24 minutes after the appointed kick-off time of 1pm and con-

sist of 35-minute halves. What had started in bizarre fashion descended into farce in the second half when the referee indicated to the Mornington bench that if they didn’t substitute Irishman Mick Richardson then he was going to send him off. No prizes for guessing Richardson’s reaction as he headed for an early shower. Mirkovic had far less impact on proceedings as an assistant referee in the senior match. Southern United’s under-13s have both hands firmly on the NPLW championship but can’t hold the trophy aloft just yet. Their 2-1 win away to Bulleen on Sunday gives them a seven-point lead over Calder United plus a vastly superior goal difference with just three games left. Southern’s goalscorer was Brianna Watson, her first came two minutes before the break and the second seven minutes into the second half. The seniors (8.30pm) and under-18s (6.30pm) play at Bulleen’s Veneto Club tonight (Monday). Peninsula Strikers are staring down the barrel after going down 6-3 to visitors Beaumaris on Saturday. Declan Byrne opened the scoring for Beaumaris in the 11th minute but his contribution ended in the 84th minute when he was sent off. Other Beaumaris scorers were Kieron Kennedy (28th, 61st), Adam Hester (37th, 44th) and Toby Nowell (85th). Raphael Stulz (5th, 92nd) and Chris McKenna (70th) scored for Strikers. Doncaster Rovers leapfrogged Strikers with a 3-1 win home win over North Caulfield on Saturday night pushing the Centenary Park club into second last spot in State 2 South-East. Another local State 2 club, Seaford United, continued its miserable season with a 7-0 drubbing away to title contender Eltham Redbacks on Saturday all but condemning Paulo Pinheiro’s side to a last-placed finish while Frankston Pines’ 0-0 home draw with Old Scotch pushes Pines five points clear of the relegation zone. Skye United clings on to a one-point lead over third-placed Brandon Park in State 3 South-East and faces a crucial fixture on Saturday against State 3 South-East champion elect Knox City at Skye Recreation Reserve. Skye won 2-0 away from home against Noble Park on Saturday while

Brandon Park thumped bottom side Sandringham City 7-2 and now has the same goal difference as Skye and has scored more goals. Both clubs meet in round 22 in what looms as a season-defining contest. Although Skye dominated most of the possession in the early exchanges on Saturday Noble Park was denied by the crossbar on three occasions. However midway through the half Marcus Collier found space in the box and lashed home a strike to give the visitors the lead. The second half was much of the same as chances went begging for the visitors but after some nervous moments in defence Skye substitute Lawrence Komba won a penalty in the 90th minute and skipper Mark O’Connor calmly finished it off. The match ended on a sour note for Skye with Johnny Andrinopolous being sent off after receiving a second yellow card deep into injury time. Baxter’s hopes of promotion from State 4 South came to a full stop on Saturday with a shock 4-1 loss to secondbottom side Hampton Park United. Hampton Park led 2-0 at half time with goals from Daniel Milne (8th minute) and Mitchell Hawkins (25th) while a second-half double from Adrian Mirauta completed the rout. Baxter’s sole response came from leading scorer Mark Pagliarulo. Springvale City remained on top of the State 4 South table with a 3-0 win over Rosebud Heart at Ross Reserve on Friday night. Springvale’s scorers were Adem Alicevic (7th minute), Minas Leminded (31st) and substitute Dzenan Mujcic (87th). This weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: Langwarrin v Mornington (Lawton Park), Frankston Pines v Beaumaris (Monterey Reserve), Seaford Utd v Old Scotch (North Seaford Reserve), Skye Utd v Knox (Skye Recreation Reserve), Baxter v Harrisfield Hurricanes (Baxter Park), Rosebud Heart v Hampton Park Utd (Truemans Road Reserve), Somerville Eagles v White Star Dandenong (Barber Reserve). SATURDAY 7pm: Heatherton Utd v Peninsula Strikers (Bosnia and Herzegovina Centre). SUNDAY 3pm: Southern Utd v NTC (Monterey Reserve, U13s bye, U15s 11.30am, U18s 1pm).

Blairgowrie boxer clashes gloves with China’s champ but that didn’t work out.” Initially suffering a setback with Yilixiati’s visa, Mitchell had a legitimate reason to fight a lesser opponent if he wished and defend both titles against them but instead waited until the issue was resolved. “I wanted to prove to myself that I belong in the ring with some of these top fighters,” he said. “All the training would have been wasted and I have to face these tougher opponents if I want to make it further. “That’s why I was over the moon to take on such a seasoned amateur fighter and beat him in the fashion I did.” Mitchell sparred with the hard-hitting and two times Super Middleweight World Champion Sakio ‘The Scorpion’ Bika in preparation for the fight. “I needed someone like Sakio [Bika] so I could feel comfortable with that sort of power,” he said. “I’ve always had fairly good movement but knowing that Yilixiati was such a big puncher I needed to feel more comfortable when facing it. “By the end, I definitely respected his power but I certainly didn’t fear it.” Mitchell is now preparing to return to the Melbourne Pavilion on the 6 October with his opponent yet to be announced.

By Ben Triandafillou BLAIRGOWRIE boxer Jayde ‘J-Mitch’ Mitchell faced the undefeated Super Middleweight Champion of China, Aniwaer Yilixiati, in a much-anticipated match-up on Friday 4 August at the Melbourne Pavilion. Aspiring to become a world champion, Mitchell put his WBA Oceania and WBC OPBF Super Middleweight titles and world ranking on the line to face one of his toughest opponents to date. Mitchell was struck with a powerful blow from Yilixiati in the first round and dropped to the ground where he was “gone” for a short period. Returning to his feet and regaining his focus, Mitchell was able to bounce back and proved his dominance in the ring defeating Yilixiati by unanimous decision in a hard-fought 10-round battle. “He was the toughest fight of my career by far,” Mitchell said. “He was such a big puncher and had great balance, power and timing - he was more than just a slugger. “He’s part Turkish, had about 200 amateur fights and was moved to China where he has been groomed to become world champ. “They thought he would be too much for me

Rally to put peninsula on the map THE world-renowned Targa Florio vintage car rally will, for the first time, race outside of Italy and through the Mornington Peninsula later this year. More than 200 classic cars will travel across 1200 kilometres of Victoria and make their way from the Bellarine Peninsula to the Mornington Peninsula via ferry on Friday 1 December. The prestigious road race is scheduled to travel through Mornington’s wine region and up through Red Hill before heading towards San Remo and onto Healesville on the Saturday. The four-day event which is set to begin on Thursday 30 November will mark the 101st anniversary of the Targa Florio and is expected to attract thousands of car lovers, celebrities and international media. Over the years the Targa Florio has attracted some of the top international car makers such as Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Bugatti, Lancia, Maserati, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche.

This year’s event will also feature 101 Ferraris competing in the popular Ferrari Tribute as well as pop trio ‘Il Volo’ – who have performed alongside Barbara Streisand, Placido Domingo and at the Eurovision Song Contest – also performing at the race’s closing ceremony. “These classic cars will travel to some of our most breathtaking destinations, breathing more life into regional communities across Victoria,” Minister for Tourism and Major Events, John Eren, said. “Our love of sport and fast cars, coupled with our beautiful scenery and large Italian community, makes us the perfect host for such an occasion.” This will mark Victoria as the only place in the world to host the F1 Grand Prix, the Moto GP and the Targa Florio, all of which are sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).

By Ben Triandafillou AUSSIE Rules enjoyed an international flavour at Peninsula Grammar, Mt Eliza last week when Great Britain and Fiji played in the second round of the AFL International Women’s Cup. Great Britain got off to a flying start at the Harry Macdonald Oval, but seemed to tire early in the third quarter. A fired-up Fiji made a late surge and, with eight minutes left to go, had narrowed the gap to only two points. A late goal from Great Britain’s Stacey Hughes broke Fiji’s momentum and secured her side’s second cup victory: Great Britain 5.3 (33) beat Fiji 3.6 (24). Peninsula Grammar’s Acting Director of Sport, Shona Middleton, described the atmosphere as “incredible” and said it was great to

have the match played at the school. “Everyone was really energetic and excited to have a professional game played at Peninsula Grammar,” she said. “We had amazing interest from across our school from the kinder children to Year 12. They surrounded the oval to watch the historic match. “The Year 4 students even created a guardof-honour with banners made for Fiji and Great Britain adding to the great atmosphere.” Among the crowd was Year 9 student Saige Bayne, who just returned from Western Australia, where she helped Victoria to a grand final triumph over New South Wales in the School Sport Australia 15 and Under Australian Rules Football Championship.
