Poets write to be heard PENINSULA Poets Corner has gone “semirural” to raise money for a sound system so its members can be heard loud and clear.

“The tragedy of poetry in the spoken word form is that if no one listens then it really doesn’t exist, akin to a tree falling in the forest,” one of the organisers Barry Swayn said.

“So, with the declaration of ‘we will be heard’ it’s on with the show.”

The show referred to by Mr Swayn is a Sunday afternoon when a “clutch of wordsmiths” plan to gather in a Rye backyard Topics promise to be as varied as the presenters.

“Most [of the poetry] is published or heard in shape or form and the topics will span early Australian traditional rhyming works to joyous celebrations of everyday life coupled with the pathos of just being,” Mr Swayn said.

“Truly, expect the unexpected, for they be a wily lot.”

Those set to make appearances include Pickle Poetries’ Jai Thoolen, Megan Scott, Heather Forbes McKeon, Julia Kaylock, Kristy Lee Swift and Ian Cameron Wood.

Mr Swayn said “picnic rugs, family and friends” would make for “a day with a difference”.

Peninsula Poets Corner, 1.30pm-5pm Sunday 27 January in backyard of 156 Weeroona Street, Rye. Admission $20, byo nibbles and refreshments.

Triathlon stalled at the start Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE staging of the Sufferfest Triathlon at Mt Martha in March is “up in the air” while Mornington Peninsula Shire Council reviews its events policy.

Community consultation on the proposed policy closes on Friday 1 February – just weeks before the triathlon is scheduled to run on 23-24 March.

However, bookings for the triathlon are being taken on a website that

makes no mention of the need for council permission.

Last year’s triathlon clashed with Clean-Up Australia Day and required closing of the Esplanade from Mornington to just around the corner from safety Beach.

Shoppers at Mt Martha arrived to find car parks either roped off or filled with vehicles belonging to triathlon competitors and their supporters.

Bike riders failed to stop at for red lights at the pedestrian crossing leading to the beach.

Marshall’s HOLIDAY RENTALS

The shire’s draft events policy aims to “provide a clear decision-making framework that identifies the economic, environmental and social costs and benefits to the community of any event” as well as “outlining pricing guidelines that address not-for-profit, community and for-profit events”.

Organiser of the 2019 Mt Martha Sufferfest Triathlon Scott Hollow was last week coy about the triathlon’s scheduling. “I’ve been talking to the council for the past six months but the [draft events] policy is still to be

ratified,” he said on Friday. “Nothing can happen at the moment. We are in limbo.

“We can’t run the event without certainty. We have got plans B, C and D, but it’s still up in the air.”

Mr Hollow said the draft events policy “doesn’t make sense”.

“I’ve been in discussions with the events team and I have no problems with the policy, I just need to be clear about it.”

The events policy will aim to prevent the kind of clash of dates that last

year saw Clean-Up Australia Day held at the same time as the triathlon at Mt Martha.

Cr Bev Colomb said she was “hugely disappointed with the unfortunate clash of dates” which could jeopardise the success of the long-running cleanup event (“Triathlon a roadblock for volunteers” The News 26/2/2018).

This year’s clean-up event is on Sunday 3 March and the triathlon scheduled for the weekend of 23-24 March.

Bays users warned of ‘marine pests’

Plan to improve, keep peninsula’s biodiversity

BOAT owners using Port Phillip and Western Port are being asked to make sure they are not spreading marine pests that can “cause significant harm to the health of marine ecosystems”.

Parks Victoria’s Chief conservation scientist Dr Mark Norman said it was vital to protect the state’s marine waters which supported more than 12,000 species of plants and animals, “90 per cent of which are found nowhere else in the world”.

“Marine pests are highly invasive animals and plants, usually from other parts of the world that have become established in Victoria and cause significant harm to the health of marine ecosystems.”

Included on the list of marine pests are the invasive northern-Pacific seastar and Japanese kelp (wakame), which damage marine ecosystems through predation or competition with native species.

“They reproduce quickly and once established are virtually impossible to eradicate, such as has occurred in some parts of Port Phillip,” Dr Norman said.

Parks Victoria says boats should be checked for pests, cleaned with fresh water and dried before being launched.

A survey of recreational marine users has found 70 per cent knew little or nothing about marine pests and that they can be spread by all kinds of vessels (including kayaks) and equipment such as wetsuits, diving gear, and toys.

Around-the-world sailor Jessica Watson and fishing expert Paul Worsteling are appearing in an online video campaign to warn of the dangers of marine pests.

“We all know how important it is to clean your boat from a maintenance perspective but it’s also really important to clean it properly to avoid the transportation of marine pests, even if you’re moving to a different location on the same day,” Mr Worsteling said.

“Port Phillip is actually a nursery and a nesting place for a lot of fish that have been here for their entire history. It’s sad to see that things that have been here forever are now facing these enemies.”

Details about marine pests and how their spread can be prevented is on Parks Victoria’s website or call 136 186 to report any sightings of marine pests.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is seeking public feedback on a new plan to help manage, protect and enhance biodiversity on the peninsula.

The draft Biodiversity Conservation Plan outlines strategies and actions to help achieve “best practice environmental stewardship” and draws on the Shire’s State of Biodiversity Report.

Biodiversity is regarded as being the variety of plants and animals in a particular area, with high levels seen as important for a healthy habitat.

The draft biodiversity conservation plan details data from scientific, government and community sources - essential reading for anyone interested in the peninsula’s natural environment.

The mayor Cr David Gill said the community “has told us natural assets are the most important feature of the peninsula”.

“With over 200 kilometres of coast, 440 kilometres of creeks, 400 species of indigenous fauna and nearly 700 species of indigenous plants, the diverse environments of the peninsula need protection to remain resilient and healthy.

“Biodiversity also plays a key role in our health and wellbeing.

“We have a fantastic wealth of volunteers and it’s important to strengthen this connection and encourage the wider community to become good environmental stewards.”

Cr Gill said the nearly 60 “friends” groups in collaboration with the shire’s bushland management team ran 380 working bees across 60 reserves during 2017-2018.

“At these working bees, volunteers contributed more than 4800 hours, undertaking 96 hectares of environmental weed control and planting 9500 local native plants.”

He said the groups provided a platform for other environmental opportunities besides working bees, including Clean-Up Australia Day, tree planting events and citizen science projects.

Details about making submissions to the draft Biodiversity Conservation Plan are at: mornpen. vic.gov.au/haveyoursay.

Tow-aways, permits ideas for The Pillars Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au TOW-AWAY zones and permit-only parking areas are among options suggested by police to control crowds at The Pillars cliff jumping site at Mt Martha.

The tougher measures aimed directly at motorists come at the same time that police have confirmed they will not cross the “temporary” fence erected by Mornington Peninsula Shire to enforce alcohol bans.

Water Police have been told to patrol beneath the cliffs and monitor boating offences and people drinking alcohol while on the water but will not be enforcing the shire’s proclaimed 200 metre no go zone.

The shire’s fence has created mixed reactions among residents and ratepayers, some of whom are fed up with rubbish being left along the clifftop, drunkenness, nuisance parking and anti-social behaviour in nearby streets.

However, parking permits could cause problems for visitors to those living near The Pillars and for property leased out for holiday rentals.

The alcohol bans also extend into nearby streets, technically making it illegal for residents to have a drink on their nature strips.

The shire says the fence was necessary to avoid being exposed to legal action in the wake of the death or injury of cliff jumpers. It has asked the state government to indemnify it against any successful claim.

On hot days police will provide a

“static” police presence in adjoining streets as well as increase publicity about the site’s closure on social media posts targeting the northern and western suburbs, where it is thought many visitors live, says Mornington police officer-in-charge Paul Edwards.

Senior Sergeant Edwards said police would only enter the fenced area to investigate serious criminal offences.

While acknowledging police had no

power to stop anyone going around or over the fence, he said police and shire officers were “all on the same page” when it came to street safety, neighbourhood amenity and the need to control anti-social behaviour. “[The Pillars] is a beautiful place to go, but there has also been lots of damage caused by young people, some of whom are alcohol affected, and the local amenity of the area has been de-

stroyed,” Senior Sergeant Edwards said.

“Road safety is a big issue for us because [The Esplanade] is a very narrow and busy road made more dangerous by traffic congestion and, of course, pedestrians.

“We can’t put our officers behind the fence because of safety concerns.”

The mayor Cr David Gill has previously said he expects police to go over

the fence to arrest people drinking at The Pillars (“Police should climb fence to arrest drinkers – mayor” The News 18/12/18).

“Police scramble over fences and walls to arrest offenders and people expect them to do that. We are in trouble if this is an occupational health and safety issue for police,” Cr Gill said.

Cr Gill last week said drones were being used to count people on the cliff. “We need a record, so we are using drones,” he said.

“People are still coming and jumping, but in fewer numbers than before.

“The Pillars is not suitable as a tourist area. People defecate and dump rubbish and impinge on the cultural heritage of the site.

“I admit the fence is ugly, but it’s just one of the measures being used to limit numbers there as part of a trial.

Nothing is off the table.”

The tow-away zones and permitparking would have to pass through the shire’s gazettal process and be approved by VicRoads.

Executive manager infrastructure services Jessica Wingad said: “All measures to manage the impact of high usage at The Pillars will be considered as options as part of the review, including parking management options.

“At its November community meeting, council committed to reporting back to the community after summer and to seeking further feedback. A date has not yet been set for this meeting.”

Peninsula’s colours, vibrancy inspire artist Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au RYE artist Claire Spring capped off a successful week’s exhibiting at the Rotary Club of Sorrento’s 35th art show last week by selling her “most spectacular painting”: Yachting – Tranquillity on the Bay. She was one of several Mornington Peninsula artists to reap the rewards of exhibiting at what she described as the biggest and most important art show on the peninsula.

Other locals to achieve success in the long-running show, held at the Sorrento Community Centre in the first week of January, were John Bredl, who won Best Oil, Joanne Seberry (Best Pastel) and Belinda Nye (Best Painting Under $700).

Spring said she gained inspiration for her colourful work from looking at a photograph of a yacht race with a “spectacular yacht formation and the charisma of the stunning depth of sea blues”.

She said she loves painting seascapes and has had many commissions from the owners of the iconic Sorrento Couta boats. She also paints fruits, such as the pomegranate, and flora like agapanthus, which is part of a series she is working on for an exhibition later this year.

“I love the environment at Rye with all its beauty and colour,” she said. “I love to create an exotic and sometimes erotic atmosphere with textural effects on linen.”

Spring, who teaches painting to adults, and to children at school holiday workshops, was thrilled when

two of her students also featured their works at the Rotary Art Show.

Last year she displayed a large indigenous oil painting of moonah trees at sunset which received the Highly Commended Award. She later sold it to a peninsula resident.

Art show coordinator George Segan said artists from around Victoria contributed 700 works to the annual show

in a variety of mediums. About a third are later sold.

He said Rotary makes about $20,000 from the week-long event which is a mainstay of the area’s holiday attractions. “It’s not just an art show but a community event,” he said. “It is something to take mum and the kids to. It is a wonderful event for all the people to see.”

Mr Segan said organisers did not vet the artworks submitted prior to accepting them for display. “We allow people to have a go,” he said. “If someone is game enough to give us their art then we are game enough to hang it.”

Money raised from artists’ fees and ticket sales goes to a range of charities and causes, including the State Emergency Service, Peninsula Ambu-

Junior golfers in the swing for holidays GRADE 5 pupils from Rye Primary School learned how to hit little white balls into very small holes at an eight week junior golf program at The Dunes over the holidays.

The introductory program covering the basics of the game was overseen by PGA professional Jack Donaldson. He taught the budding players all about the swing, how to get out of bunkers, putting and chipping.

A highlight was playing in a team event on the nine-hole Cups course.

The school’s vice-principal Lachie Featherston and club president Rhonda Harrison were

delighted by the pupils’ enthusiasm and aptitude. “The program is all about fostering an early love of golf and making it fun, and the kids certainly enjoyed it,” Ms Harrison said.

The Dunes Golf in Schools program was sponsored by the Bendigo Bank. It is a pre-cursor to the Mygolf Sporting Schools Program run by Golf Australia and the PGA. In the sand: Rye pupils practise their bunker skills under the supervision of PGA professional Jack Donaldson.

Pack a picnic FAMILY-FRIENDLY entertainment and a variety of activities at Hastings, Mt Eliza, Mornington, Dromana, Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento, will add to the fun on the peninsula on Australia Day, Saturday 26 January.

The mayor Cr David Gill said he was looking forward to seeing the community come together on the day and celebrate what it means to be Australian. “Australia Day is a special day enjoyed by locals and visitors, with community events offering a perfect way to enjoy a picnic and relax together during the summer break,” he said.

“It is a time to welcome our newest members and families to the community with a citizenship ceremony at Rosebud. We also look forward to the chance to celebrate the contributions made to the community by Australia Day Local Award winners.

“Whatever you do on this coming Australia Day I wish you a safe and enjoyable one.”

Those getting into the swing and enjoying the day are invited to upload their photos to #ausdaymornpen.

Splash, paddle protest Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au SUNDAY 6 January may not have been the summer’s best beach day, but that did not deter hundreds of people going to the Pines Beach, Shoreham.

Instead of sunning themselves, swimming or going for a surf, the beachgoers were intent on sending the state and federal governments a message: don’t allow power company AGL to moor a floating gas import and processing terminal at Crib Point.

Serious concerns about the health and safety aspects of the proposed terminal underlined the festive atmosphere on the beach where protesters were fed information about the 300-metre long “gas factory” along with barbecued food and live entertainment.

In the water a variety of floating craft – surfboards, stand up paddle boards, boogie boards, canoes, surf skis and a couple of boats – were maneuvered into a heart shape to symbolise the protesters love for Western Port.

“Australia leads the world in gas exportation so we shouldn’t be risking an internationally recognised site and critical wetland like Western Port to import gas. There are better solutions,” organiser of the “Peninsula’s biggest paddle out” Hinetera Marino said.

“This misguided project would threaten the bay’s priceless environmental diversity, including sensitive [internationally recognised] Ramsar wetlands as well as it’s many amenities for residents and visitors to the

area.”

Save Westernport’s spokesperson Louise Page said past community action had made “a remarkable difference” to the health of the bay.

“Whales and dolphins are returning in record numbers; there are more and healthier fish species; mangroves are regenerating; water bird counts are way up; water clarity is improving, and the seagrass beds are growing back,” Ms Page said.

“We love this place and we’ll do what it takes to protect it.

“The Mornington Peninsula is famous for beaches, food, wine, and for being a clean and green destination.

“It’s an enviable reputation and we want it to stay that way.”

AGL announced four days before

Christmas that it had “executed a contract for the supply of a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) for its proposed gas import Jetty project at Crib Point”. The company said the long-term charter agreement was “conditional on a final investment decision and regulatory approvals.

“These FRSUs are highly sophisticated in nature with a range of monitoring functions and protections in place for safe and reliable operations, making them ideal for the project,´ AGL general manager energy supply and origination, Phaedra Deckart, said.

Ms Deckart said the AGL believed its plan for Crib Point “will increase certainty around [gas] supply and put downward pressure on prices”.

ABOUT 120 Mornington Peninsula residents celebrated 90 years of service by the Royal Flying Doctor Service at a function at the New Peninsula Centre, Mt Martha, recently.

“The people of the Mornington Peninsula proudly support the service and support their ongoing work delivering emergency and primary health care for regional and rural Australians,” the mayor Cr David Gill said.

From one plane leased from Qantas in 1928, the service now has a fleet of 69 planes, 115 road service vehicles and 1600 professionals delivering

emergency medical and primary health services across Australia.

Chief executive Scott Chapman told the gathering: “As we commemorate 90 years since [our] first medical flight, we give thanks and recognise the efforts of supporters who enable us to deliver essential health care to isolated parts of Australia.”

The service assists regional Victorians to access mobile dental care, rural women’s GP service, mobile eye care, speech therapy, mental health programs and non-emergency patient transport.

Artists feature and judge at show THE judge at this year’s Mornington Art Show is Lynne Mellady, a professional artist of beach and landscapes for over 30 years.

Mellady is a pastel artist with examples of her work represented in government collections in Australia and Japan.

She has won many awards and has been teaching and judging art for more than 20 years.

Cathy van Ee and David Brayshaw are this year’s “feature artists”.

Van Ee, who is also a tutor, specialises in portraits and landscapes in oil and pastel.

Her career in the arts has included working in the corporate sector in magazine and book illustration, book design, stamp design and gallery management. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Swinburne University and Certificate IV in Training and Assessment from Chisholm Institute.

She has participated in numerous fine art workshops and from her early fine art career, Van Ee’s style has evolved into high-quality realism, particularly in oil portraiture.

Van Ee’s work is displayed privately and in galleries in Australia and overseas.

In recent years, she has focused on exhibiting her work and has been awarded for her landscapes and portraits.

David Brayshaw is listed by the Kevin Hills gallery in Sydney as one of Australia’s top 10 artists.

A professional artist since 1982, working in oils and mixed media, Brayshaw is known throughout Australia for his solo and group exhibitions and has also exhibited in Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai and the United States.

He is renowned for his coastal, Great Barrier Reef and alpine paintings.

Brayshaw says he is “captivated by the sublime landscapes of Mt Kosciuszko and the Victorian Alps”.

The works of Van Ee and Brayshaw will be among the more than 850 paintings and photographs at this year’s art show.

Opening night for the Mornington Art Show is Thursday 17 January and the exhibition runs 18-26 January at the Mornington Community Theatre, corner Wilsons Road and Nepean Highway, Mornington.

Tickets for the opening night are $25 and can be bought online at the Mornington Art Show website, at Farrell’s Book Shop, Main Street, Mornington or at the door.

Art supports Rotary projects THE annual Mornington Art Show raises money for local and international humanitarian projects involving Mornington Rotary Club of Mornington.

It also encourages art appreciation among students, with Year 10 to VCE students from Toorak College, Mornington Secondary College, Balcombe Grammar, Mt Martha and Somerville Secondary College entering works in this year’s show.

Over the past 47 years the art show has raised more than $1 million of which club records show that about 60 per cent has been spent on Mornington projects or to the benefit of the community.

Last year’s art show enabled more than 70 trees to be planted in Civic Reserve and beside Tanti Creek. This year the clock tower in Main Street, Mornington has been restored and a new boat has been

fitted out to support the Sailability program at Mornington Yacht club. Mornington Rotary also sponsored the buying an assistance dog for a child with disabilities.

Proceeds from this year’s art show will go towards supplying the Bays Hospital with a $25,000 intensive care bed; vegetable garden boxes at a primary school; providing two water purification units to two schools in Bhutan in conjunction with students of Mornington Secondary College; sponsoring a student to spend an exchange year in Denmark next year; and Mornington Rotary student scholarships.

Money has also been sent to help farmers hit by drought.

International programs such as the fight to end polio in the world have been given support and an orphanage in Siem Riep, Cambodia has received money from the club.

NOW OPEN JUST HYDROPONICS

MORNINGTON Cycling up to the fort IMPROVED roads have opened up new opportunities for exploring historic Point Nepean, near Portsea.

Cyclists can now ride along Defence Road past Fort Pearce to Fort Nepean along The Narrows, which is flanked by the Bass Strait and Port Phillip.

The works are part of the Point Nepean master plan which aims to increase connectivity and accessibility throughout the national park.

Cycling was previously prohibited beyond Fort Pearce but the new road surface and safety features mean visitors can ride bikes to the staircase below Fort Nepean. E-bikes can be hired from the Port Nepean information centre in the Quarantine Station. Bike racks have been installed at the entrance to the fort.

The road is a shared zone with a 30kph limit and pedestrians have priority. Authorised vehicles and shuttle busses also use the road.

Arrest over thefts, burglaries CALL 9707 0566

Did you know... you can view our papers online

www.mpnews.com.au

THE theft of petrol from a service station on Pt Nepean Road, Tootgarook, in mid-December, was one of a string of thefts and burglaries allegedly committed by a Cranbourne North man arrested Wednesday 9 January.

Detectives from the Cardinia CIU, Special Operations Group and the Dog Squad nabbed the 30-year-old in Hampton Park over the incidents which occurred between OctoberDecember across the south eastern suburbs and Ballarat. During the arrest the man was injured and taken to hospital under police guard.

He faces 38 charges relating to an aggravated burglary at Ballarat East, burglary at a Beaconsfield Upper hotel, burglary at Officer where a firearm safe was stolen along with the keys to the safe and set of car keys, theft of a Jeep Grand Cherokee from the Kilsyth Football Oval, theft of petrol from a service station, Langwarrin, burglary at fast-food restaurant, Koo Wee Rup, where $500 cash, two reams of paper and a slab of coke was allegedly stolen, and a burglary at a fast-food restaurant, Belgrave, where $1500 was allegedly stolen, and theft of a white 2018 Mercedes Benz wagon from Tonimbuk.

Other charges relate to petrol thefts which allegedly occurred at service stations in Moorabbin, Lynbrook, Springvale, and Lynbrook.

Police allege they later found four stolen motorcycles and other property at houses in Cranbourne North and Doveton.

The man was remanded to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 1 February.

In relation to these incidents, detectives arrested a 22-year-old Cranbourne West man and 23-year-old Carrum Downs woman at a Cranbourne West property. The man was charged with theft of a motor vehicle, theft from a motor vehicle, handling stolen goods and negligently dealing with the proceeds of crime. The woman was interviewed and released.

Boat capsize A MAN, 71, was seriously injured and later died in hospital when the boat he and a woman were riding in capsized off Blairgowrie, Friday 11 January.

Police and emergency services were called to the beach at 10am after a passing boat picked up the stricken couple and took them to shore.

An ambulance rushed the man to Frankston hospital in a critical condition. The woman was not injured.

Senior Constable Alistair Parsons, of the Media Unit, said police were yet to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident. The investigation was ongoing.

Space at a premium

Bin blaze

THE driver of this Peugeot 307 convertible was slugged with a $645 fine for a “substantial load breach” after being spotted carrying an old gate in the back seat along Bittern-Dromana Road last week.

The Rosebud woman told members of Somerville Highway Patrol she was planning to use the wooden panels in a renovation project.

She said she thought the load was safe as she was “only driving slowly,” police said.

A DUMP bin found ablaze outside a Bunnings store off Moorooduc Road, 28 December, was said to have “self-combusted”. Police called to the blaze at 3.20pm said the fire was caused by dumped chemicals, including bottles of thinners.

House fire A FAULTY solar panel inverter is believed to have caused a fire at a house in Dromana, Friday 28 December, in which three occupants were evacuated by CFA crews. Police spoke to the owner of the Storer Drive property and ruled the fire non-suspicious.

Cliff rescue A WOMAN stuck on a cliff at Portsea back beach, Friday 28 December, had to be rescued by police. The woman suffered only minor injuries and scratches to her ankle. She left with her mother.

Passenger airlifted A WOMAN in her early 20s was airlifted to The Alfred hospital from Somerville oval last week after the car in which she was a passenger crashed into a power pole. After being assessed she was found to be “not as badly injured as first thought”.

Police said the late model Holden station wagon was travelling at up to 100kph in a 60kph zone along Frankston-Flinders Road, in the early hours of Saturday 5 January. They said they were not pursuing the car but caught up to it only after it crashed at the intersection of Bungower Road.

The driver, a 23-year-old man from Somerville, was handcuffed at the scene. He and another man, also in his early 20s, were then taken by ambulance to Frankston Hospital for observation. The car was a write-off. There were no reports it had been stolen.

Triathlon stalled before the start

Garden gets a growth spurt CHISHOLM Early Childhood and Good Start Early Learning Chisholm pupils and parents flocked to the opening of their community garden at the centre in Henry Wilson Drive, Rosebud, recently. The launch was conducted by Lionel Lauch,

of Living Culture, with a Welcome to Country and a Smoking ceremony, Monday 10 December.

Chisholm marketing and business partner Jane Herring said Bunnings supported the event by supplying plants and garden

materials.

Continued from Page 1 Residents and business people have been invited to comment on the draft policy which was workshopped with councillors and “key internal stakeholders”.

Events will be placed into categories with pricing guidelines and bonds. Lower fees will be charged in off-peak periods from 1 May30 September than for peak periods from 1 October-30 April.

Events will also be categorised for their risk – such as low, medium or high – with a bond for high impact events to pay for damage to council-owned property or equipment.

High impact events – such as triathlons – will require consultation as well as an event brief to be submitted and considered by councillors.

In a first, medium and high impact event applicants will need to explain how their event meets the shire’s “economic, social and environmental principles”.

Mr Hollow suggested other less-contentious sites for the racing might include Safety Beach which, although under the same council, may have less stringent amenity restrictions.

He last year paid $160 for a permit to host the event and received it only the week before – despite hundreds of competitors pre-paying entry fees.

Mt Martha resident David Mason was critical of the draft events policy being opened for public comment “at the beginning of the festive and holiday season”.

“It is open for public comment/submission until 1 February and after that will be presented to council for adoption. There will be an advertisement in the local papers but, as experience shows, the vast majority of people will not hear about this.”

Mr Mason said residents should provide feedback to the council to protect their beach, launching ramp, shops, car parks and local roads.

“Events have created huge disruption to residents in the past, but this policy should address the problem. We support the council in addressing this issue and look forward to stopping the road closures.”

Mr Mason said commercial events promoters loved “spin”.

“They regularly try to claim a link to a charity,” he said. “The bottom line is that the only purpose they have is to boost their own bottom line.

“Entry fees do not go to charities. Competitors are asked to arrange their own sponsorship for charities.”

Crowds and alcohol a bad mix at The Pillars Based on experience, jumping from The Pillars [at Mt Martha] can be risky (“Fence no barrier to The Pillars” The News 8/1/19).

A couple of decades ago we took our young teenagers to The Pillars. There were a few older teens doing swan dives and somersaults from the rocks into the water. Nobody else was there.

We’d made sure we went when it was at least mid tide or higher.

I got my courage up and did a safety jump in to the water at the spot where you aimed for. I was quite surprised when my feet touched bottom, knees bent comfortably on impact and my bottom lightly touched the sea floor.

I determined that if we were to go again it would need to be high tide. I would also test the depth first as after wind and sand movement it can alter.

Since then we’d heard of somebody breaking both legs and another becoming a quadriplegic.

When I’ve read of a hundred or more people who are at The Pillars I am concerned. They come from an hour or more away and probably don’t wait for a few hours or so to get the safest tide. Add bravado because of the crowd and a few drinks of alcohol and it is a disaster waiting to happen.

It is also a fragile environment and prone to erosion.

The idea of turning it into a “tourist destination” seems risky.

Jill Stanszus, Mornington

‘Irresponsible’ report As resident of Mt Martha I am highly upset and disappointed with the article advertising The Pillars (“Fence no barrier to The Pillars” The News 8/1/19). Our Mornington [Peninsula Shire]

Council are doing everything they can to distract the youth from jumping into the bay from The Pillars.

The danger they are putting themselves in is ridiculous, not only jumping, but walking down the Esplanade. The other day a young guy was walking in the middle of the road, I nearly collected him.

I believe The News is operating very irresponsibly by advertising that The Pillars is again open. The day someone dies, the council and the public will point the finger at the newspaper.

Just think very carefully before you publicise The Pillars again.

James Read, Mt Martha Editor: The report was not an advertisement, but an account of what is happening at the popular cliff jumping site since Mornington Peninsula Shire erected a “temporary” fence in a bid to stop access to The Pillars from the Esplanade.

Fence expense Great article in The News (“Fence no barrier to The Pillars” 8/1/19). I have been appalled about money spent [by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council] on this dangerous, disgusting fence.

Christine Lay, Mt Martha

Banners for MP Wonderful news that our local Liberal MP [David Morris] has scored the shadow environment and climate change portfolio. Here is something he can get his teeth into instead of conducting boring constituent inquiries for things like pensions, traffic, housing and health care.

He could immediately elect to attend more annual general meetings and perhaps surprise the

hard working and unpaid Mt Eliza Association for Environmental Care members who haven’t seen him for several years. I know my associations and groups haven’t seen him or a representative attending our meetings.

In his first published statement (“Morris leads opposition climate change debate” The News 19/12/18) he said he was looking to working with communities. Perhaps he could initiate some genuinely self-propelled approach to MEAFEC, the South East Centre for Sustainability, the Kunyung Road Action Group, the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association and the Mornington Peninsula Environmental Association. I am sure there are plenty more peninsula concerned residents’ groups, that he could demonstrate his newfound status, as the most senior and erstwhile green leader in our area now that the [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt has moved on for a healthier lifestyle.

[Mr Morris] could show some external recognition of his newfound status in the form of roadside banners and newspaper advertisements stating: Save the Green Wedge; Save the Ansett Estate; Stop the Developers; Save Our Bay Views; and No Five-Storey Buildings in Kunyung Road.

Ian Morrison, Mt Eliza Community Alliance, SECS, MEAFEC, KRAG and MPRRA

A smoker’s lament After a $4 million dollar upgrade the jury is in on the new big, bold and beautiful Rye RSL, a non-smokers delight, according to my research.

Minor noise level complaints? Apparently, there’s a solution in hand.

The old smoking area absconded (like footpath eating at cafes) in favour of the cleanskins, breathing fresher air and a doubtful guarantee of living longer, while we smokers have been shoved down the back opposite the poker machines; out of sight out of mind.

It’s OK to gamble until the cows come home, but smoking is evil, apparently, in brainwashed Australia. Ever noticed how the holy people cough even if spotting a smoker at 50 yards?

Rather sad on what I consider second class

consideration and, suspiciously, only as a small comfort to further encourage those poker playing gamblers who enjoy a fag between their free spins.

Does gambling affect your health?

Observations from Rye RSL smoking area: Perhaps a goldfish bowl to blend in with the swimming pool style tiled floor, a fan in the undercover area to circulate the pure smoking air, a ban on the pain of the overhead blaring music emanating in between Chemist Warehouse commercials.

Cliff Ellen, Rye

Bank of despair I only have one account left with the CBA and haven’t been going to a branch for a while. Recently, I tried in Hastings and what a disappointing experience it was.

I had a few euros to exchange and, after queuing for an unacceptable time, I was told “we don’t offer this service anymore here in Hastings”. I went to the Mornington CBA and to my shock found a very similar customer unfriendly setup as in Hastings, except the queue was even longer. But to my relief they could help with my foreign currency exchange.

If this is a direct result of privatisation, and I believe it is, why are we putting up with the false mantra of the conservatives about the efficiency of the private sector, if it is clear to all, that it is not interested in its customer service.?

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring beach

In praise of Hatters The Mad Hatters T Party at Cube 37, Frankston, tells two stories which I am able to narrate in the manner that the author Lewis Carroll would undoubtedly approve.

The second, which will captivate viewers by the interesting array laid out very carefully and thoughtfully to enhance a modern chapter of Alice in Wonderland. The first story is the many hours and superb preparation that only the dedicated team at Cube 37 (on a limited budget) can do. Do as I did, and see for yourself. This is as good as it gets.

KISSTROYER SET TO ROCK THE GRAND KISSTROYER started in Melbourne in 2001, formed by two brothers Andrew and Stephen Kyriacou.

On a staple diet of steady shows and more media attention than most tribute shows could ever hope for, KISSTROYER has grown into one of the largest touring Rock Tribute Act in the Country.

Testament to this is the much talked about stage show. Three eras of authentic KISS costumes, over 15 authentic KISS guitars a massive Functional light up KISS logo and stairs withall the blood spitting, fire breathing, Guitar smashing and smoking mayhem that has brought fame to the KISS name over the past 30 years, Classic songs like I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN YOU, ROCK ’n’ ROLL ALL NIGHT, SHANDI, SURE KNOW SOMETHING and GOD GAVE ROCK ‘n’ ROLL TO YOU are all covered in this classic KISS show.

The show is so accurate musically and theatrically it even drew praise from KISS great Paul Stanley and his ROCKSTAR Band on a recent tour . KISS Guitarist Bruce Kulick gave the show the two thumbs up and seal of authenticity. The band has also been heralded in INPRESS for their great ability to not only re create the sounds and emulate the mannerism of KISS, but to also re create the experience!

Kisstroyer will be playing at The Grand Hotel, Mornington, 22 February. Tickets at grand.oztix.com.au or www.grand.net.au

MANY people ask what is Integrative medicine?

Integrative medicine is a philosophy of healthcare that focuses on the individual patient and combines conventional western medicine with evidencebased natural medicine and therapies within the current mainstream system.

An Integrative GP reaffirms the significant relationship between the doctor and the patient. It is a complete emphasis on the whole person. Integrative medicine isn’t alternative medicine as it is informed by the latest scientific evidence, and it makes use of all available and researched therapeutic interventions, other regulated health care professionals and disciplines to achieve optimal health and well-being.

It takes into account the physical, psychological, social, emotional, environmental and spiritual wellbeing of the person with the aim of using the safest and most evidence-based treatments available for optimal long term health.

The latest research tells us that most of us are going to die from a chronic lifestyle related disease, with much of the underlying cause or causes being preventable.

This is both an alarming statistic and an exciting opportunity. Life-style change is a critical component in not only the prevention of chronic disease but also vitally important in the treatment.

We commonly hear older folk complaining of their aches and pains as part of the normal ageing process, but scientific research suggests that this isn’t actually considered a normal part of growing old. So much can be done to address the underlying chronic low grade inflammation responsible for many of the lifestyle disease we suffer, from arthritis to cancer, diabetes, heart disease and even dementia.

If you are looking for a GP with additional training in integrative medicine care, consider making an appointment with one of the Whole Medicine GPs and see if there is more than can be done to help you be as well as you can be.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Things that Matter A Lot Now That Once Didn’t Exist

By Stuart McCullough TIME is a funny thing. Not literally, of course. No one puts a clock on stage and mistakes it for a stand up routine, but you know what I mean.

Things that were once crucially important become irrelevant. Others that were yet to be imagined become vital ingredients to everyday life. It’s easy to get left behind. But it leaves you susceptible to thinking that anything new is trivial and to marvel at the commitment of others to things that matter little. I should know – I am gloriously out of step.

At the time I finished high school, ‘schoolies’ had not yet been invented or, if it had, consisted of a pre-outing shandy and one crowded evening at Kirks during which making it to the bar felt like a major logistical victory and being served a validation of everything you’d been working to achieve for the past twelve years.

Whereas now, it’s a week on the Gold Coast during which parents surrender control of their credit cards and fret over whether their child will appear on the news that night as the living embodiment of youthful debauchery.

Ironically, even though ‘Schoolies’ didn’t exist, ‘Toolies’ were well established even if no one had figured out what to call them yet. At that time, they were just the creepy older blokes who sat at the end of the bar smoking perpetual cigarettes and had smoke pouring through their inept facial hair with red faces that glowed like light bulbs.

Socialising with friends meant that someone came over to your house.

PAGE 26

Southern Peninsula News

In person. Or you went to their house and discovered what other families ate for afternoon tea. It was always an eye-opening experience. Now these things occur on-line. These days, you can play a game with someone else without ever setting eyes on them.

It’s a far more invisible, less physical world than the one we grew up in.

Knowing how to use a video 16 January 2019

recorder was an invaluable life skill.

Having reflexes that were tightly honed to ensure that you could press ‘pause’ exactly as the adverts began and ended so that you had a nearcinema quality version of the film you were recording was a nean mandatory requirement. Being able to program a video recorder was on par with being able to organize a space

shuttle launch. In those days, you had to capture what you wanted for viewing at a later time. Now, content has been tamed and comes when you call it. Those who had trained their pause-finger were suddenly surplus to requirements.

When I was a kid, an on-line presence meant you had fallen over on the railway tracks. All things considered, you should dust yourself off immediately before the 4.27 from Stony Point comes through. Now an on-line presence is something that you hope will attract attention much like a bluering mosquito zapper or, alternatively, haunts you like a poltergeist for the rest of your life. Job applicants and political aspirants alike are felled by something they once did and will be remembered for all eternity on the Internet. They become road kill on the super information highway.

A text was a book you took to school. A tweet was something a bird did (and certainly not something you’d expect from a President) and a ‘you tube’ was when you got stuck inside an inflated rubber tyre inner at the local pool and had to be freed by the fire brigade. A ‘down load’ involved dropping your supermarket shopping on the kitchen floor. ‘Streaming’ was the exclusive preserve of rivers and creeks. Phones were communal, not personal. Photos lived in photo albums and were the one physical possession to be rescued in the event of fire, even if the photos themselves may be been improved by the act of incineration. They were less complicated times.

We live in an age of miracles. It’s

hard not to be amazed. That said, things are changing at such a speed that it’s sometimes difficult to keep up. I, for one, tend to be a late adopter. Suffice to say, I was just starting to enthusiastically embrace the mini-disc just as everyone else moved on to the iPod. I’ve remained loyal to the classic version of the iPod even though it’s been largely usurped by the smart phone.

It’s made the world smaller, I think.

The ability to collate and share personal information has the capacity for both enormous good and harm and it’s tempting to respond by sticking your metaphorical fingers in your ears whilst pretending it’s not happening, but nothing can stop change. In a way, I’m glad I grew up in an era before everything I did was electronically tattooed on cyberspace’s bare buttock. Then again, those that are growing up now are so much more aware and alert than I’ll ever be in terms of the on-line world.

Time is, indeed, a funny thing but I still prefer to keep it as a wristwatch.

Some things don’t change. Despite the electronic revolution that affects every aspect of our lives, no one has come up with anything better than a book. I hope, I least, I can be open to the new. There’s a fine line to be walked between embracing the new and not unreasonably jettisoning the old. Between luddite and neophyte.

Between technophobe and digital misanthrope. I have no idea if I’m walking straight. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Seaford Tigers bitten: A 195 total set by Hastings was too much for Seaford Tigers to chase down after their top order collapsed. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Huge Sorrento total puts Panthers to the sword

By Brodie Cowburn

PROVINCIAL

SORRENTO have easily beaten Pearcedale after setting a mammoth target at home at David Macfarlane Reserve.

Twin centuries from Robert Wilson and Leigh Poholke set the Sharks up with a huge score of 5/268. The two put together a stunning 159 run fourth wicket stand.

Poholke hit seven sixes on his way to his maiden century for the Sharks.

Jake Roberts dismissed both batsmen.

Pearcedale couldn’t get close and ended up over 100 runs short at the end of their innings, finishing at 8/166.

Robin Parslow claimed four wickets and a run out.

At Harry MacDonald Oval Baxter have had to work hard to chase down Peninsula OB’s target of 8/194.

Old Boys opened the batting and lost their first wicket for just 7 runs.

Tom La Brooy top scored for the home side with a well taken 55.

Baxter’s run chase was helped by a brilliant innings of 72 runs from Chris Brittain.

Baxter did well to keep pace and not lose too many wickets, and ended up claiming the win with five wickets in hand and two overs to spare Flinders struggled badly as they hosted Langwarrin and BA Cairns Reserve, Langwarrin elected to bat first and put 209 runs on the board, with Jake Prosser passing his half century.

Flinders could only manage 101 runs in reply, bowled out with 12 overs

left to play.

Morning have battled hard to claim a win over Mt Eliza.

Batting first, Mornington scored 180 runs from theri 40 overs.

In reply Mt Eliza struggled, left in grave danger at 6/41.

At brave innings of 75 from Justin Grant gave his side a chance, but his effort was not quite enough. Mt Eliza ended up all out for 154.

PENINSULA

SOMERVILLE struggled at times but claimed a win over Pines at Eric Bell Reserve.

Neither side had a batsman pass their half century in a slow scoring affair. Pines elected to bat first and put 144 runs on the board.

Nick Marshall was brilliant in restricting Pines, posting career best figured of 4/18.

Somerville’s run chase was shaky at times, but they eventually claimed victory with three wickets and two overs to spare.

Red Hill performed well at home to claim victory over Crib Point, as they batted first and set a target of 207 to win.

Matthew Manfield fell agonisingly short of a ton for the home team, with just three runs required to pass his century before his wicket fell.

Matthew Blake was Crib Point’s best batsman, hitting 74 runs, but it was not quite enough.

Crib Point finished up at 7/165 from their 40 overs Baden Powell were impressive and performed well as a team to set a tar16 January 2019

get of 193 to win for their opponents, Long Island.

Long Island were ineffective in their reply, with their first three batsmen all failing to reach double digits. They were bowled out for 154, 29 runs short of victory.

A well taken 57 from Ben Williams was enough to see Moorooduc claim a win over Main Ridge on Saturday afternoon.

Having posted a total of 162, Moorooduc bowled well and won by 53 runs.

DISTRICT

SEAFORD have held on by the skin of their teeth to claim a thrilling win away from home against Mount Martha on Saturday.

Mt Martha batted first after losing the toss and being sent in.

The home side struggled with bat in hand, with their top scorer putting on just 28 runs. They were eventually bowled out for 155, setting Seaford an attainable target to win.

First drop batsman Ian Rowe was Seaford’s best, top scoring for the game with 45 runs.

Going into the final over, Seaford still had not reached their target and had just one wicket in hand.

A gutsy 19 from number 10 batsman Mitch Anderson proved crucial, as Seaford hit the winning runs with three balls to spare. They finished at 9/158.

Elsewhere, heatherhill emphatically defeated Carrum in an impressive display.

Carrum were bowled out for 134,

with Lachlan Avery taking 3 wickets from just 4 overs.

In return, Heatherhill batted hard and fast. They claimed the win with 13 overs left to play.

The Seaford Tigers were made to pay for their poor top order batting, as they failed to chase down an impressive total of 195 set by Hastings.

Hastings batted well at home, with their top three batsmen combining for 112 runs. In contrast Seaford Tigers’ top four batsmen combined for 25 runs.

Having not lost a wicket at 0/19, the Tigers quickly fell to 4/19 as it became clear they would fall short. They finished all out for 168.

Rosebud were woeful in their matchup, getting all out for 93 runs against Delacombe Park.

Pete Doughty was the sole shining light for the losing side, as he scored 54 runs. None of his teammates reached double digits.

Delacombe Park responded by piling on the runs. They won with 20 overs to spare and eight wickets in hand.

SUB DISTRICT

BONEO have hit the winning runs off the final ball of their innings to secure victory over Frankston YCW. The Stonecats batted first and looked comfortably on top. A mammoth 109 opening stand put them in the box seat, with opener Stuart Plunkett’s innings of 60 providing plenty of entertainment for the crowd. He hit 6 fours and 4 sixes.

YCW ended up at 5/170 by the time

their 40 overs were up.

In response Boneo looked in danger as they were struggling at 3/39.

Middle order batsman Ryan Jellie put together a desperately needed innings of 68 to steer his side in the right direction, but when his wicket fell with 22 more runs needed it was clear things were set for a tight finish.

Remarkably off the final ball of the day, Boneo smacked the winning runs, with just two wickets to spare as well.

Levi McLoughlin-Dore was especially hard done by to be on the losing side, as he took 3/11 off his 8 overs.

At Citation Reserve, a slow innings from away side Rye was not enough to fend off Tootgarook.

Rye won the toss and chose to bat, but did so with little aggression. They finished their 40 overs at just 6/116.

Corey DeBruyn was especially economical, taking 2/6 from 8 overs.

Tootgarook secured a dominant 9 wicket win by chasing down their target off just 16 overs, At Bunguyan Reserve, a tame innings of 132 was enough for Tyabb to defeat Skye.

Left battered and bruised at 4/20, Tyabb recovered to set a target of 133 before being bowled out. Aaron Edwards’ 41 would prove crucial.

Skye could not find a batsman to put together a match winning innings, as they ended up all out for 110.

Elsewhere, Carrum Downs struggled against Dromana, setting them an easy target to chase down.

Dromana claimed the win by surpassing 3/102 with 12 overs left to play.

Balnarring had a bye.

Blasby back at Langwarrin SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie PETER Blasby is the new goalkeeping coach at Langwarrin.

Former Langy star and club vicepresident Chris Jones was forced to step down from the post due to work commitments.

Blasby has already had a stint as Langy goalkeeping coach as well as assistant coach of the reserves.

He boasts a celebrated playing career at Frankston Pines, Albion Rovers, Heidelberg United, Melbourne Croatia (Knights), Morwell Falcons and Croydon and he was selected in Melbourne Knights’ Team of the Century.

Blasby is widely acknowledged as one of the best specialist coaches in Victoria and the list of goalkeepers who have benefitted from his training includes Ryan Scott, Michael Theo, Lou Acevski, Stuart Webster and Domenic Kurasik.

His talents have been used by Bentleigh Greens, Dandenong Thunder, Mornington, Peninsula Strikers and Casey Comets and he was the inaugural goalkeeping coach at NPLW side Southern United.

“I wanted to grab the opportunity of working with Scotty Miller plus the goalkeepers he’s got down there (Fraser Maclaren and Sermin Sadikovski) are both very, very good keepers,” Blasby said.

“I’m doing two sessions a week with the senior keepers but next week I believe I’ll also be working with Colby Jones (under 20s) and Branten Kindler (under 18s) which is good from my perspective as four is an ideal group to work with.”

Blasby was appointed as goalkeeping coach at Dandenong City late last year and will combine both roles.

He was a keen observer at Lawton Park on Saturday as the seniors lost 4-1 to Oakleigh.

It was an excellent hitout for the local club against one of the best sides in the state and the emerging partnership between David Stirton and Roddy Covarrubias was on show.

Viktor Medini, who joined Langy from Dandenong Thunder last year, was released after the match and it’s believed that Mazenod Victory is keen on signing him.

Langy head coach Miller is close to finalising the senior squad and it’s expected that decisions on other players will be made shortly.

Meanwhile the high performance unit managed by Alistair Wallace is a major addition to the club structure.

Langy utilises the expertise of for-

mer Melbourne Victory and Partick Thistle defender Simon Storey, cofounder last year of CEED online physio services.

“Every player has gone through screening via WhatsApp or FaceTime and Simon then generates a report for me outlining any injuries or weaknesses and we work together to get the players back on the park,” Wallace said.

“It enables Simon to have daily contact with the players. It’s futuristic and it’s where I see physiotherapy going.

“Tommy Ahmadzai, David Stirton, Brendan Richardson and Johnny Kuol were all in rehab before Christmas but by the Beaumaris game (22 December) they were all ready to be back in training and they’ve all fully trained since and played against Oakleigh today.”

Wallace is assisted by physiotherapy student Michael Hombsch, Ben Millward is the strength and conditioning coach for the under-20s and Andrew Bayliss-White fulfils the same role with the under-18s.

Long-serving club fitness coach Peter Tuckett assists Wallace with the GPS program, another innovation that Miller and Wallace were keen to introduce.

“Every professional team uses this technology,” Wallace said.

“It’s about progressively overloading the players then once the season starts you red-flag abnormalities so

Sudoku and crossword solutions

you can grab the players before they get injured.

“It’s not foolproof but more of an educated training direction.

“Scott, Jamie (Skelly) and I sit down and go over the training drills and what we want to do.

“Pretty much you want to complete in a training week the same amount of high-speed running you would do in a game and that has a preventative affect on hamstring injuries which are the number one injury.

“We also do a lot of strength worth before each training session.”

Feedback from the players has been positive so far and Wallace and the coaching staff have been pleased with the way the senior group has bought into the program.

In State 3 South-East news Frankston Pines has completed the signings of goalkeeper Alfonso Cardinale and defender Cedric Benza.

Cardinale is a former Goulburn Valley Suns and Keilor Park custodian and returns for his second stint at the club after winning the best and fairest award in 2016.

“Fonzi is a good shot stopper, comfortable with the ball at his feet, a good talker and will keep the back four well organised,” goalkeeping coach Lee Davies said.

“He’s a good trainer and another excellent role model for the younger players.”

Pines regard Benza’s signing as a major coup as they faced stiff competition from a raft of other clubs to secure the dreadlocked former Springvale White Eagles and Langwarrin defender.

“I’m delighted to have signed a player of Cedric’s pedigree for next season,” head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor said.

“His closing and recovery speed is second to none, he is strong, athletic, good in the air, comfortable with either foot and quick, all the attributes required of a modern centre back and he’ll form an important part of our back four this season.”

Another key signing due to be announced shortly is that of left-back Christian Malgioglio, ex-Dandenong City, who played with Springvale White Eagles under-20s last season.

“Christian was referred to us directly

by Springvale White Eagles coach Nebojsa Vukosavljevic, who has identified Pines as an ideal club for young players of Christian’s ilk to further develop in a senior environment,” club president Steve Spencer said.

Spectators at Pines’ pre-season clash with Casey Comets in December were given what the club hopes is a preview of things to come with Malgioglio’s spectacular solo run and superb finish in that match.

Last season’s captain Graham Hill is an integral part of Taylor’s plans and

joined in training last week after being linked with a move to Brandon Park.

Another Pines’ recruit, flying winger “Tapsy” Munyanyiwa, is expected to start training this week.

Pines are keen to play home matches on Friday under lights and work is underway to ensure that the floodlights at Monterey Reserve meet FV match requirements.

It’s expected that the work will be completed in the next fortnight.

The relationship between Pines and White Eagles continues to grow with the NPL outfit training at Monterey Reserve and holding pre-season matches there.

On Friday the Serbian-backed Eagles take on Berwick City at Monterey Reserve at 7pm and on Wednesday 23 January they host Kingston City at the same venue and kick-off time.

In State 5 South news Somerville Eagles are still looking to add to their senior squad as they target a title tilt in 2019.

Will O’Brien, Mark Pagliarulo, Carlo Cardoso and Callum Richardson have been the most recent additions while Daniel Hodge has trained with the Eagles and the club is keen to sign him after he took last season off due to work commitments.

“We’re very happy at the moment.

We had a strong squad already but we’ve added some quality to it with a couple of possible additions to come,” co-coach Scott Morrison said.

One of Somerville’s State 5 opponents, White Star Dandenong, is believed to have signed former Pines stars Christopher L’Enclume and Cedric Pernal, who have both represented Mauritius.

Somerville and Aspendale Stingrays may face trips to Morwell next season to take on Morwell Pegasus after the Gippsland club announced late last week that its application to join State 5 had been accepted by Football Victoria.

At this stage Pegasus does not know which regionalised State 5 league it will play in.

State 5 South is its preferred option and last season that league consisted of 13 teams.

Pegasus withdrew from State 1 South-East during last season amid rumours that the club was set to fold but it has worked hard to convince FV of its readiness to compete under its auspices once more.

The Latrobe Valley Soccer League had rejected the club’s application for inclusion for the 2019 season.

‘Melbourne Cup of the Picnics’ ready to race

By Ben Triandafillou THE BALNARRING Picnic Racing Club is set to once again be covered in Australian flags as thousands of people are expected to flock to the Emu Plains racecourse on Australia Day, Saturday 26 January.

The Balnarring Cup is the club’s highlight of the season each and every year and will enter its 71st running since Helenette kicked off proceedings in 1948.

Balnarring Picnic Racing Club president Terry Mulcahy said the club looks forward to this race meeting every year.

“This is the biggest time of the year and the lead up to the Balnarring Cup is massive,” Mulcahy said.

“It’s always a big crowd at the Balnarring Cup, as everybody calls it the Melbourne Cup of the Picnics.

“We expect to have over 4,000 people there. It’s a marvellous day, we also have a really good Australia Day ceremony and it really does work well.

“Everybody gets into the spirit of Australia Day and the amount of Australia Day flags being waved is just

a wonderful sight. To see the families enjoying themselves on Australia Day is sensational, it really is.”

The Balnarring Cup, which can have a total of 10 runners in the field, is sure to attract runners from all over Victoria, as well as having a local presence with trainers from the Mornington Peninsula set to target the race.

“They come a long way to race at Balnarring,” Mulcahy said.

“Horses come from everywhere, they really do, but we are supported really well by the local trainers as well as the Gippsland trainers.”

The track itself is also in perfect order, according to Terry Mulcahy.

“We work in very closely with Mornington Racing Club, they trial here quite often and it works out well for both clubs. They had trials here the other day and the track was in sensational order then and I expect it to be in perfect order for the Balnarring Cup.” The seven-card race meeting is free for the kids and $20 for adult general admission. A free shuttle bus service, both to and from the races, will also be in effect from Hastings, Bittern and

Balnarring to the race course.

Junior basketballers have a shot at premier events

By Ben Triandafillou SEVERAL young basketballers from the Southern Peninsula Sharks will get straight back into action this month as they head towards two of basketballs premier events for juniors.

Up and coming players from under14s through to under-18s will head towards the Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup (ACJBC), held in Albury from January 14-19, and the Southern Cross Challenge (SCC) ), hosted at the State Basketball Centre from January 18-21.

While many people were enjoying their extended breaks over the Christmas and New Year period, many young athletes and coaches have been consistently working on their game, for some juniors as much as five days per week, in preparation for these events.

The Southern Peninsula Sharks will have 13 players from under-16s through to under-18s competing at the ACJBC as well as four coaches chosen to guide the Country Victoria teams to victory against New South Wales Country, South Australia Country, Tasmania and New Zealand.

While the focus is always development for the juniors, athletes selected to attend the ACJBC in the under-16s age group also have an additional element of further selection on the line.

Along with the under-15s athletes competing at the Southern Cross Challenge, approximately 24 athletes will be selected to progress towards the 2019 under-16s Country Victorian state team, with further camps and selections to take place in the coming months.

For the under-18s, the ACJBC is the final selection stage to represent

Country Victoria in the under-18s age group. At the completion of the tournament, the final 2019 under-18s Country Victorian state teams will be selected ahead of their Australian Junior Championships in April.

Southern Peninsula Sharks players and coaches heading to the ACJBC are: Darcy Jones and Toby Snow (under-16 Boys); Bella Breen, Amber Grant and Sienna Privitera (under-16 Girls); Liam Porter (under-18 Boys); Charli Dobson, Olivia Pollerd, Paige Price, Gemma Simon, Lani Thornton, Keely Toohey and Emirson Devenie (under-18 Girls); Scott Ramsey (head

coach under-14 Boys), Darcy Thornton (assistant coach under-14 Boys), Ben White (head coach under-16 Boys) and Lucas Allen (mentor coach under-18 Boys).

The Southern Peninsula Sharks under-14 and under-15 players will be heading towards the relatively new Southern Cross Challenge where they’ll compete against South Australia Metro, Victoria Metro, New South Wales Metro, Western Australia Country, Western Australia Metro and the Australian Capital Territory.

Although the SCC is relatively new, having been ran for only a handful of

years, it has quickly become regarded as the premier event for the under-14 and under-15 age bracket in Australia.

Those competing as under-14s have a pure development focus similar to the ACJBC where they’re provided with the opportunity to play with and against some of Australia’s finest young players and be coached by some of Country Victoria’s best coaches.

Development remains the ultimate focus for the under-15 age group as well, but, as previously mentioned, they’re eligible to be selected as a part of approximately 24 athletes that

will continue within the selection pathway towards the 2019 under-16 Country Victorian state team.

The Southern Peninsula Sharks will have five juniors, two coaches and referee heading to the SCC. They are: Kyra Webb (under-14 Girls), Corey Hastings (under-15 Boys), Jasmine Amendola (under-15 Girls), Chantelle James (under-15 Girls), Shannon Tuffy (under-15 Girls), Joe Boothroyd (assistant coach under-15 Boys), Gerard Hillier (head coach) and Axel Goodall (referee).

Sharks host BMX ‘Track Attack’

By Ben Triandafillou THE 2019 BMX racing season kicks off on the Mornington Peninsula this week with one of the longest running series in Victorian BMX, the ‘Track Attack’, set to take place at the Frankston Sharks BMX club on Thursday 17 January.

Now in its 20th year, the Track Attack series is held over an entire week and uses six different locations from across Victoria for riders to battle it out to be crowned champion.

This year, Frankston Sharks BMX club have the privilege of holding the fourth event under lights on the Thursday night with the first race set to kick off at 5:30pm.

Riders from all around Australia and as far as New Zealand will all be making the venture as well as several local hopes from the Frankston BMX club.

For some of the Frankston BMX club members, such as Maya Ellis, it is the first chance for them to move out of the sprocket classes (under7s) and start racing for real points towards podium finishes (sprocket classes don’t score).

Kane Lansdown is another Frankston BMX

By Ben Triandafillou AFTER spending more than a decade making sport more inclusive, Frankston resident and Monash University lead researcher Erik Denison is being acknowledged for his hard work with a nomination at the Victorian Sport Awards.

Denison has been nominated for the inaugural Peter Norman Inclusion Award for his worldfirst research which looks into the prevalence of homophobic and sexist language within sporting clubs and how best to find a solution to the issues.

The winner of the inaugural Peter Norman Inclusion Award will be announced at the Marvel Stadium, Docklands on Wednesday 20 February along with several other Victorian Sport Awards.

Denison, who only moved to Victoria in 2017, said it’s a huge honour to be nominated.

“I’m relatively new to Victoria in terms of living here but it’s been great with everyone being super supportive and welcoming when looking at these issues,” Denison said.

“I’ve been trying to understand why kids use this homophobic and sexist language in sport as banter as well as trying to find a way to keep girls involved and playing sport in these hypermasculine sporting clubs.

“It makes me sad to see any decline in participation.”

Denison has been working alongside sporting clubs such as the professional rugby union team, Melbourne Rebels, and the semi-professional ice hockey team, Melbourne Mustangs, in trying to

find a solution.

“We’ve been trying to see what works and what doesn’t in trying to prevent this language within sporting clubs,” he said.

“Rugby has been a real leader and has been super brave in looking into these issues as not many clubs would want to dissect and possibly admit to having an issue like this.

“It’s great that they want to be leaders and by doing this it opens them up as being an inclusive sport and I’m sure it’ll increase participation for them.”

The world-first research which Denision has been doing with Monash University has been different to most as it focusses on finding a solution to the problem rather than identifying it.

“Everyone is focussed on finding the problem but we know there’s a problem and now we need to look into finding a solution as to why there is this homophobic language and why girl’s continue to leave sport,” he said.

“No one was doing this research when I started but once you get the ball rolling people want to follow and then there’s a bit of competition where everyone tries to outdo each other which is great as that only helps improve the cause.

“It’s a cool feeling that Frankston and Monash is the first ever to do this sort of research and now places like Canada and the US are becoming interested so just by doing this people are starting to follow on.”

Also being nominated for an award at the Victorian Sports Awards is the Mornington Peninsula Shire and the Frankston and District Netball Association.

The Mornington Peninsula Shire has been nominated for the Local Government Initiative Award for their All Abilities Day and Fit and Fun initiatives. While the Frankston and District Netball Association has been nominated for the Sport Development Initiative Award thanks to their Walking Netball initiative.

club member heading to the Track Attack and he knows the track like the back of his hand having raced on the circuit for a few years now. Lansdown has made his way into the under-10 boy’s category where the competition is just as fierce as the elite men and women’s categories.

Despite being a junior’s division, the boys and girls train just as hard as the elite, living and breathing everything BMX, and in a class where one error can be the difference between first and last, Kane is there to give it his all.

Now in his 3rd year of racing he will be out there putting it all on the line, but having the best fun at the same time.

The series also utilises the BMX tracks at the Eastfield BMX club (12 January), Lilydale BMX club (13 January), Knox BMX club (15 January), Park Orchards BMX club (19 January) and Casey BMX club (20 January).
