Tougher rules on way for jet skis JET-SKI zones are likely to be in place on several Mornington Beaches next summer. The zones will confine jet skis to strict speed limits within a narrow corridor until they are 500 metres offshore.

This tougher line on the noisy water craft follows discussions between Mornington Peninsula Shire, Maritime Safety Victoria, Water Police and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning. Shire local laws officers are being trained to enforce the tougher approach for the coming summer season after the inappropriate use of jet skis inflamed tensions at Safety Beach and

especially Rye over summer. The mayor Cr David Gill said there was a “resoundingly positive reception to the solutions, which the attending community supported wholeheartedly”. “The shire has listened to the community and recognised the significant concern of many beachgoers about the increased presence of jet skis and the dangerous use of personal water craft,” Cr Gill said.

skis meant enforcement would pose a “significant resource challenge”. The meetings were told that jet-ski registrations had jumped 122 per cent to 252,000 in the 10 years to 30 June 2018. There has been a 65 per cent jump in accidents over the same time, with 94 infringements being issued for dangerous use of jet skis over the 2017-18 summer.

“Indeed, council and many other organisations have been inundated with complaints and concerns from the community – ranging from serious risks through to petrol cans on the beach and noise pollution.” Cr Gill said there was agreement that: Jet skis should be treated differently to other watercraft, such as paddle boards, and that the “significant increase and inappropriate use” of jet

Diesel spill taints beach sand, water Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A PERSISTENT fuel leak from a drain is discolouring sand and polluting the water at Dromana. The smell is so powerful that towels used to dry bathers stink for days and oil-slicked water sticks to hands and bodies long after they leave the beach. Safety Beach resident Rob Debernardi became aware of the leak while bathing opposite the junction of Marine Drive and Pt Nepean Road, about 20 metres from the nearest bathing box. “I was swimming two weeks ago and the drain was flowing strongly after a downpour of rain and I smelled diesel fumes,” he said. “I scooped up a handful of wet sand and smelled it and there was no mistaking it. I could see the sheen floating on the water.” Mr Debernardi said the contaminant had possibly been accumulating in the drain for some time before being flushed out. He said he called the EPA on Monday 1 April. An officer took details of the complaint and made a follow-up call. Nothing else happened. “I thought they understood the urgency,” Mr Debernardi said. Anecdotal evidence points to a “complicated drainage system” running along Pt Nepean Road, with groundwater movement changing due to its proximity to the bay. Two service stations on the road – a BP and a Caltex – are about one kilometre apart. The News is not suggest-

ing either is responsible for the leakage. A source, who asked not to be named, said “various government departments” had been made aware of diesel leaks in the area “over some time. We have been very concerned about it.” EPA Southern Metro Region manager Marleen Mathias confirmed “what appears to be a hydrocarbon (fuel)

outflow at Safety Beach, Wednesday 10 April”. “EPA officers identified a drain emptying into the bay [that] had a strong odour to it, potentially of petrol or diesel,” she said. “Working with Oil Response Company of Australia, temporary booms were put in place to contain the outflow while investigations were made to identify the source.

“EPA has established some leads and will conduct further assessment to positively identify the source of the hydrocarbons. “Once a source is established, steps can be taken to ensure the problem is rectified and cleaned up. “As the matter is now a formal EPA investigation, we are limited about what information can be shared publicly, but the priority is to ensure no

further outflows like this occur.” Mornington Peninsula Shire’s manager infrastructure services Jessica Wingad said the drain and outlet was owned by Melbourne Water. “The EPA was onsite yesterday (Thursday) with shire representatives. The EPA is now dealing directly with Melbourne Water to investigate the source of the pollution and manage the outfall,” Ms Wingad said.

A PUBLIC meeting in Mornington late last month to discuss the “tightening of controls to better protect Melbourne’s green wedges against overdevelopment” may have had more sinister overtones, according to a Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor. The meeting, held at Currawong Community Hall, Currawong Street, on 28 March, and attended by 66 people, was promoted by Planning Minister Richard Wynne and Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes as being part of strategic review of future land use. Those invited to attend were residents, councillors, farmers and repre-

sentatives of agricultural industries. The context of the meeting – one of five held in regional areas around Melbourne – was to discuss “identifying and protecting vital food production and agricultural land” from inroads by developers as Melbourne grows. The focus was on “protecting strategic agricultural land to secure Melbourne’s food production for the future and give greater certainty to agricultural businesses to support long term growth, investment and innovation”. “We’ve seen great turn out at the sessions and want to thank everyone for getting involved,” Department of Environment Land Water and Planning spokesperson Ewan Cook said. “The Mornington workshop went well with good attendance and par-

ticipation. While there were diverse views, there was a general feeling of understanding of the need to protect and support agriculture in these areas.” Mr Cook said submissions can be made via Engage Victoria until Tuesday 23 April. Cr Hugh Fraser said there might be more at play than simply protecting the peninsula’s agricultural areas. “The dangerous corollary of this state government defining in our planning scheme what is ‘strategic’ agricultural land is this: What is to become of the rest of the agricultural and other green wedge land which is not ‘strategic’ but [which is] rich in biodiversity, landscape and green wedge values?” “Spring Street has been slow to act on protecting in our planning scheme

the unique qualities of the peninsula – our housing and settlement strategy lies on the minister’s desk scandalously unattended and unapproved for over a year. “By defining what land is ‘strategic’ and, by definition, what is not [strategic] in our planning scheme – creating a primary and secondary importance of our agricultural and other land – will be yet an another state government juggernaut to open up our green wedge land, which is not strategic agricultural land, to inappropriate development destructive to the green wedge values of this shire.” Mr Wynne said the workshops would deliver on Plan Melbourne 2017-2050. “The government has been undertaking technical work in partnership with

Agriculture Victoria and Deakin University to provide an evidence base and inform criteria for identifying strategic agricultural land,” he said. Under the plan not all agricultural land will be identified as strategic agricultural land, rather “it will depend on the nature, extent and significance of the land as assessed against a common set of criteria”. Notes presented before the meeting acknowledged that agricultural land “may still be locally significant even if it is does not meet the criteria to be considered strategic agricultural land”. “These areas will not be turned over to residential development, the notes said. “Existing planning controls that apply will remain in place and not be weakened.

Winter wrap for Artists’ eye for the green wedge The Pillars fence Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE fence along the Esplanade at Mt Martha designed to cut off access to The Pillars cliff-jumping site will be pulled down after Easter. Although not entirely effective, the fence did lead to a large drop in numbers of people gathering on the cliffs, but it also saw police refusing to cross it in pursuit of anyone drinking alcohol in breach of the shire’s local laws. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors will decide whether the fence is reinstalled in time for next summer after receiving a report from council officers. The 400-metre long fence effectively blocked a walking track along the Esplanade, forcing walkers onto the road. In the previous year, wooden bollards were erected by the shire to separate walkers from vehicles travelling along the Esplanade. At a sometimes-fiery public meeting in the Mornington council offices last Wednesday (10 April) heard from residents annoyed by the “temporary” fence as well as emergency services’ personnel who have to “go in and pick up the bodies”, the mayor Cr David Gill told The News. While admitting the use of the word bodies was an exaggeration, Cr Gill said these emergency teams “are doing things they shouldn’t have to do” when called to attend to injured people at The Pillars.

Cr Gill, who describes himself as the last councillor standing when it came to approving spending close to $200,000 on hiring and erecting the fence, wants the Department of Lands Water and Planning to be involved in “finding a solution”. The shire also used a drone to film and count cliff jumpers at The Pillars. “No one likes the wall, including me,” Cr Gill said. Describing the cost as “outrageous”, Cr Gill said, “no one at the meeting liked the wall, but we’ve got to force some action from the DLWP, from my point of view”. “We’ve gone through the public consultation and now we’re awaiting a report from our officers.” Labor’s candidate for the federal seat of Flinders, Joshua Sinclair, last month said a boardwalk should be built along the cliff top near The Pillars (“Pillars a poll issue” The News 26/3/19). Following last week’s public meeting, Mr Sinclair said he was “pleased that local police have backed my common-sense approach to The Pillars”. “Residents I speak to have continued to slam the fence as ugly and demanded it be removed,” he said. “The wall has created a more dangerous situation due to people walking on the road. “I welcome this decision [to tear down the fence] from council and thank them for their continued engagement with the community on this issue.”

ESTABLISHED and emerging artists are being invited to share their interpretation of the Mornington Peninsula’s “precious green wedge”. It’s all part of the shire’s Green Wedge Paint Outs and Exhibition returning to the peninsula this year as part of the council’s efforts to protect areas of national, state and local conservation significance and habitat value. Artists are invited to submit a green wedge-inspired artwork to be considered for exhibition across the peninsula with displays at the council chamber at Rosebud, as well as at Oak Hill Gallery and Merricks House Art Gallery at Merricks General Wine Store. There’s incentive, too, with three bursaries to be awarded including $1000 for the Most Inspiring Award; $500 Green Award and $500 Encouragement Award. Artist Jennifer Riddle and senior arts educator Colin Johnson will mentor a guided Paint Out for those interested in furthering their drawing and painting skills. Paint Outs will be held this month and hosted by the shire. “We’re calling on the community to help showcase the significance of our green wedge land and why we must all work together to preserve it,” the mayor Cr David Gill said. “Our green wedge requires careful planning and management to protect its values for the long term.” Last year at the inaugural exhibition 100 artists registered for two fully booked guided paint outs. Applications to submit artworks close 5pm, Friday 3 May. Details: mornpen.vic.gov.au/greenwedge

With Stephen Taylor

Driver charged after fatal crash in suburban street A 21-year-old Rye man has been charged with one count of culpable driving causing death and two counts of negligently causing serious injury after a fatal crash in Tootgarook early Friday 12 April. Seventeen-year-old Timothy Hocking died and four others were injured when a Mazda CX3 with five young people on board struck a tree near the intersection of Marshall and Field streets about 1.15am. Timothy Hocking, a student at Rosebud Secondary College and resident of McCrae, died at the scene, while another 17-year-old from Capel Sound was taken to hospital in a critical condition. A 17-year-old from McCrae was taken to hospital in a serious condition. The driver and another 17-year-old, from Capel Sound, were taken to hospital with nonlife threatening injuries. Neighbours reported hearing cries for help and found two young men lying beside the car in the dark. Rye and Rosebud CFA and SES crews stayed at the scene until mid-morning, hosing oil leaks and ready to extinguish any fires. Rosebud CFA duty officer Sam Webb said police were examining the crash site for details as to the cause. Neighbours say the narrow roads are “notorious for speeding”. It appears the car was being driven along Field Street past the roundabout at Marshall Street when it ploughed into a large she-oak on the nature strip. Police are investigating whether speed and alcohol contributed to the crash. They are becoming increasingly exasperated that young people are ignoring road-safety messages, saying their

pleas “are not sinking in”. Detective Sergeant Darren Williams told Channel 9 News on Friday morning: “This is the worst you can get – when you lose a young kid, not even experienced in life. He’s gone. His life’s gone. His family’s life is over. They’ll never be the same again. “You’ve just got to think that as a result of this there’s hundreds – if not thousands – of people who are going to be affected by not only this one kid’s death, but the injuries sustained by the others and they’ll never be the same again. “We’re forever on the news putting out messages: ‘Drive slowly’, ‘drive within your limits’, ‘don’t drink drive’ and people still do it. How do we get through to people? I don’t know.” Both roads were closed Friday while investigations continued. Anyone with information or who witnessed the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au As of Friday 92 people had died on the state’s roads compared to 58 for the same period last year.

Search for burglars POLICE are investigating three incidents which occurred overnight 7 April: Offenders damaged a garage and entered a house at Caversham Road, Mornington. Nothing was stolen. Thieves stole both number plates reading WIX 990 from a Holden parked in the driveway of a house at Nautilus Street, Rye. Cash, keys and a pair of Armani sunglasses with a total value of $430 were stolen from a Toyota Hilux in a car park at Watt Road, Mornington.

Assault charges A BOX Hill South man is facing serious assault charges after a gatecrasher was allegedly assaulted outside a party in Frankston-Flinders Road, Hastings, early Sunday 7 April. The 36-year-old is alleged to have hit a Bittern man, 21, over the head with a bag of stubbies causing serious facial injuries, including having his jaw broken in a number of places and several teeth broken. His injuries will require significant ongoing medical treatment. The Box Hill man appeared at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 10 April charged with intentionally causing serious injury and recklessly causing serious injury. He will reappear at a later date. Detective Senior Sergeant Miro Majstorovic, of Somerville CIU, said parties should be registered with police to minimise the dangers Somerville detectives are calling for witnesses to the incident at 12.15am. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Shane Moodie, 59781300.

Car impounded A 32-year-old Mornington woman had her car impounded for drink-driving offences at Mt

Eliza, Saturday 6 April. Police said the woman was changing her car’s tyre on Tower Road about 11.55pm after driving from a licenced venue in Mornington. The engine was running and a passenger was asleep in the car. Police media officer Sergeant Megan Stefanec said the woman returned a breath test reading of 0.191 per cent. Her car was impounded at a cost of $1075 and her licence was suspended for 12 months.

Boat, trailer missing A BOAT and trailer stolen from Ilma Court, Parkdale, early 30 March, are still missing. Police suspect the thief moved the boat to Nepean Highway, Cheltenham, and used an angle grinder to remove identifying marks. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of the trailer and boat, registration TN 344, is urged to call Moorabbin police 9556 6565.

Motorcycle stolen SOMERVILLE detectives are investigating after a garage at a house in Graf Road, Somerville, was broken into overnight Monday 8 April, and a black Yamaha R1 motorcycle stolen.

The Minister for Planning releases the final Scoping Requirements for the Boundary Road Quarry The Minister for Planning has approved and released the final Scoping Requirements for the Environment Effect Statement (EES). This has been prepared after reviewing and considering all submissions on the Draft Scoping Requirements which outlines the proposed assessment for the environmental impacts of re-establishing quarrying and accessing new resources at the Boundary Road Quarry site. These requirements confirm the scope of work required. A detailed list of studies/investigations will cover matters including flora and fauna, waterways, cultural heritage, groundwater, noise, traffic, planning, air quality, bushfire and visual impacts of the site. This will take time; typically an EES will take at least two years to complete.

During the study period, reports will be reviewed and guidance given, by the Technical Review Group (TRG). The TRG is made up of representatives from the Department of Water, Environment, Land and Planning, Earth Resources Regulation, Heritage Victoria, Aboriginal Victoria, Melbourne Water, Environment Protection Authority, Parks Victoria, VicRoads, Country Fire Authority, Southern Rural Water and Mornington Peninsula Shire.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2019

Campaign looks back to the future CAMPAIGNING for the Saturday 18 May federal election has begun in Flinders with a backward look at still unresolved issues. Despite the drip-feed of “good news” from the incumbent, Liberal Greg Hunt, whose health portfolio provides a seemingly endless supply, it’s his time as environment minister that is being targeted by his opponents. The federal government’s approval last week of the massive Adani coal mine in Queensland revived memories, and criticism, of Mr Hunt’s role the first time the Indian company received the all-clear from the government. Mr Hunt approved Adani’s plans for its Carmichael mine one month after he chartered a plane to fly over the proposed open-cut site in June 2014 (“MPs make ‘modest’ claims for travel”, The News 10/8/15). When announcing approval of the mine, Mr Hunt stressed the remoteness of the area – “it is the deep outback; it is a sparsely vegetated area” – and that the mine would be subject to “some very, very strict conditions”. However, federal government approval for the mine was overturned a year later by the High Court after it was presented with evidence of a bungle by Mr Hunt’s department that meant there were no provisions to protect two threatened species, the yakka skink and ornamental snake. In February 2016, Mr Hunt was named Best Minister in the World for his role, as Australia’s environment minister (“Best minister award for Hunt’s carbon cuts”, The News, 15/2/16). Mr Hunt flew to Dubai earlier that month to accept the award from the prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum during the World Government Summit. Last week, left-leaning lobby group GetUp

said the seats of Flinders (Mr Hunt), Menzies (Kevin Andrews) and Kooyong (Treasurer Josh Frydenberg) “are all in line for unprecedented Coalition losses”. GetUp’s anti-Hunt campaigning may be counterbalanced somewhat by right wing lobby group Advance Australia, which says its members have signalled Flinders as one of the seats needing the organisation’s “attention”. GetUp volunteers will contact more than 200,000 voters in Menzies and Flinders to discuss how “hard-right wreckers” Kevin Andrews and Greg Hunt have used their platforms to block progress on “urgent action on climate change and just treatment of refugees”. GetUp campaigner Jake Wishart said Mr Hunt’s “repeated attempts to block urgent action on climate change put him at odds with voters in Flinders”. GetUp’s stance will come as no surprise to Mr Hunt whose Hastings office (he’s now based in Somerville) was regularly the scene of the group’s sometimes-colourful protests, including people dressed as marine creatures and angels climbing on the roof. One protest saw two men carry a crate of coal into Mr Hunt’s office and Mr Hunt accusing GetUp members of upsetting and intimidating a staff member (“Sparks fly over coal delivery”, The News, 14/9/15). One of the two men who carried the coal into the office said “three police happily chatting to the crowd” would have been involved if Mr Hunt’s version of events was correct. The tactic was more or less legitimised less than two years later when then-Treasurer Scott Morrison took a lump of coal into the House of Representatives, telling those present: “Don’t be afraid, don’t be scared.” The use of Point Nepean National Park has also come back into focus, with Mr Hunt last week announcing he was “delighted to announce that as part of the 2019-20 Budget, the Liberal-

National government will invest $25 million for a National Centre for Coasts, Environment and Climate at Point Nepean”. He said the centre, a partnership between Monash University and the University of Melbourne, “will be a world leading interdisciplinary research facility on marine and coastal ecosystems, climate science and environmental management”. “For more than a decade now, I have fought passionately, alongside many members of the local community, to see marine research as a cornerstone use of the old quarantine buildings in Point Nepean National Park,” Mr Hunt said. His work “to make this idea a reality” was consistent with the final master plan for Point Nepean National Park. Mr Hunt’s office did not respond by deadline when asked if the universities would contribute money to the proposed centre or if a business case had been completed.

Students’ best is teachers’ goal TEACHERS took their turn in the “classroom” during a professional development day at Mt Martha. The Tuesday 2 April Central Peninsula Network of Schools forum at the New Peninsula Centre in Craigie Road attended by 600 teachers from 24 schools in the Mornington, Mt Eliza, Frankston and Langwarrin areas heard from the University of Canberra’s Misty Adoniou, who teaches Language and Literacy in undergraduate and post graduate courses. The forum discussed how reading and writing get harder as students move through school; whose job it is

Mt Eliza Primary School principal Brett Bell said Ms Adoniou’s address covered teachers being educators of literacy, especially with “subjectspecific literacy that either enables or prevents students from fully engaging in a specialist subject, whether that is science, art or mathematics”. “Taking students deeper into their education, rather than skimming over the surface of a topic, was also a focus

for teachers and a key message in Misty’s work,” he said. “Helping students achieve their best is a key focus for all schools in the Central Peninsula Network and we saw this as a significant day as it will assist teachers in being even more effective in their role as educators of the next generation.” Ms Adoniou’s work is widely published and she has worked extensively within the Department of Education in Victoria. She has appeared through many media outlets for her ideas and opinions on supporting the development of education in Australia.

Formed in 1961 the Rosebud Over 50s Social Club is a not-for-profit with a colourful growth history. Opened in 1961 as the Elderly Citizens Club, it changed its name to Rosebud Over 50s in 2000.

Heritage ‘Ramsay House’ opens for first time A SMALL holiday house perched on a cliff above Ranelagh Beach at Mt Eliza will be open to the public later this month for the first time in its 82-year history. Small it may be, but Ramsay House, built in 1937, is big in architecture, heritage and history circles. It is considered to be an influential example of the work of famous Melbourne architect Roy Grounds (later Sir Roy), who designed the house for Betty Ramsay, wife of Thomas Ramsay (later Sir Thomas), chairman of the famous Australian company Kiwi Boot Polish. The house has been restored over several years by its custodian, Victoria Grounds, the architect daughter of Roy Grounds, and is on the Victorian Heritage Register, as are Ranelagh Estate’s public areas. When the house was registered in 2008, Heritage Council Victoria chair Daryl Jackson said its design was influential in the development of modern architecture in Victoria. With its minimalist, open-plan design and use of natural materials, it set new standards for the era’s modernist approach. Sir Roy Grounds (1905–81) is best known for designing the world heritage listed Australian Academy of Science building in Canberra (now known as the Shine Dome and evocative of a flying saucer), the National Gallery of Victoria and the Victorian Arts Centre, both in Melbourne, and, locally, the round house at the bottom of Olivers Hill in Frankston for the Henty family in 1953. Grounds married Betty Ramsay in 1941 and eventually came to live in the house himself. It was where their daughter Victoria spent her early childhood. The house was sold to architect Frederick Romberg and his wife Verena in 1953. Their descendants put it on the market in 2006 and it was acquired by Victoria Grounds the following year. The small cottage is one of few remaining early houses built in Ranelagh, the estate

designed by Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin in 1924. The couple is best known for their award-winning design of Canberra. Ramsay House is a plain, two-storey box 4.4 metres by 9 metres (14.5 feet by 30 feet) with a footprint of 40 square metres and total floor area of 70sqm. All rooms including the tiny first-floor bathroom have expansive views of the beach and Port Phillip. Ramsay House will be open only, on Sunday

28 April. Cost: $24. Visitor numbers are strictly limited and bookings are required. All proceeds will go to continuing the restoration of the house, which won the award for Restoration of a Heritage Place at the 2018 Mornington Peninsula Heritage Awards, jointly run by National Trust of Australia (Victoria) and Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Shuttle offer follows years of shuffle at national park

Preventing ‘lifestyle diseases’ THE Bays Healthcare Group and medical experts are offering a free program aimed at improving people’s health “by addressing the underlying causes of health problems”. Focusing on the prevention of lifestyle diseases, the program already has 1900 members. “We hope this program helps empower the people of the Mornington Peninsula and surrounding communities to adopt a healthier lifestyle and plenty of exercise,” Mornington-based

urologist Alwin Tan said. Mr Tan, known for his brachytherapy and laparoscopic prostate surgery launched this year’s program earlier this month with breast surgeon Belinda Brown. Information sessions will be held on diabetes, skin integrity, bladder health, positive ageing and brain health, diet and nutrition, cardiovascular health, CPR and first aid and falls prevention. “This health and wellbeing initiative recognises our responsibility to

contribute to the good health of our community,” The Bays CEO Elena Allen said. “Our goal is to get as many community members as possible participating, and to make positive changes to their health, diet and wellbeing. We welcome all local residents to join with us.” The next session will be held at 5.30pm on Thursday 2 May at the New Peninsula Community Centre, 370 Craigie Road, Mt Martha.

PARKS Victoria is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) to operate the hop on hop off visitor shuttle service within the 560 hectare Point Nepean National Park. The shuttle is part of the state government’s master plan for the park and the latest chance for a private operator to run the shuttle comes 16 years after the John Howard-led federal government first announced plans for 90 hectares of the former Defence land to be subdivided and sold for housing. The announcement that the prime coastal land near Portsea could pass from public to private hands sparked a wave of protests that eventually saw the federal government hand control of the park to the state government in 2009. The state and protesters successfully resisted efforts by the federal government to determine uses for the park before control would be handed to the state. Parks Victoria now manages Point Nepean National Park. The shuttle runs between the park entrance, Quarantine Station and Fort Nepean and is the only passengercarrying vehicle (besides bicycles and authorised vehicles) allowed past Gunners Cottage. Parks Victoria says Point Nepean has more than 500,000 visitors a year, with more than 25,000 using the shuttle. The three-year contract includes “exclusive vehicle access beyond

WITHOUT a comprehensive solution to the build-up of sediment there will be no estuary in 50 years, Balcombe Estuary Reserve Group members told Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO John Baker during a “walkthrough” last week. BERG MM president Graham Hubbard was speaking after hosting Mr Baker along with the group’s vice-president Peter McMahon and field officer Liz Barraclough. “We raised the issue of sedimentation of the Balcombe Creek estuary as our major ongoing concern,” Mr Hubbard said. “Sediment from unmade roads has added half a metre to the estuary since housing development began in the area.” Mr Hubbard urged the sealing of Augusta Street which he said was one of the main contributors to the sediment and highlighted the shire’s “lack of progress on this project over many years”. “We discussed the fact that the first consultation with residents last year had gone badly due

to an insensitive design and a lack of discussion on the environmental impact of not sealing the road,” he said. “John said the shire’s road sealing policies changed last year and it was possible for the shire to bear all, or most, of road sealing costs now.” The group discussed the “slow progress” in installing a gross pollutant trap in Henley Avenue which had also contributed to estuary sedimentation. BERG MM is pushing for an environmental significance overlay over the whole of the reserves. “While the shire has agreed to progress this and expects to approve it, the ESO eventually needs state government approval to go ahead,” Mr Hubbard said. Mr Baker chatted to the Friday morning working bee group over morning tea and was presented with a copy of Up the Creek which covers the history of the group.

Meet the Mayor and CEO Do you have an idea or issue that’s important to you and your local community? Would you like an opportunity to meet and talk with our Mayor Cr David Gill and CEO John Baker?

Councils unite over peninsula transport links MORNINGTON Peninsula and Frankston councils want to meet with the Minister for Public Transport Melissa Horne and Minister for Transport Infrastructure Jacinta Allan to discuss extending the electric train service to Hastings. The two councils have written to the state government “clarifying their combined support for the electrification of the existing rail line from the Frankston city centre to Hastings on the Mornington Peninsula”, according to a news release from the municipalities. Frankston mayor Cr Michael O’Reilly said the councils would support “Frankston-Langwarrin as stage one and Langwarrin-Hastings as stage two”. While acknowledging “the complex consideration for the future metropolitan train network”, both councils opposed locating any stabling or maintenance centres “in valuable green wedge land or altering the urban growth boundary”. The councils say they are committed to working with Public Transport Victoria and bus companies to ensure that the electrification of rail includes improved bus services and connectivity to support the peninsula and Frankston. Initial moves by Frankston Council were aimed at extending the electrified line south of Frankston to Baxter. However, this changed once the shire’s current mayor, Cr David Gill, pointed out that Baxter was within Mornington Peninsula Shire and that extra parking and parking trains could only happen on

land zoned green wedge. “Stage one of this vital public transport project would ease car parking congestion at Frankston station and will directly benefit Frankston’s health and education precinct, which includes Frankston Hospital, Frankston Private Hospital and Monash University Peninsula Campus,” Cr O’Reilly said. The two municipalities have a combined population of 305,000, with Frankston classed as a metropolitan activity centre and Hastings a major activity centre. Cr Gill said that with an estimated 82 per cent of the peninsula having no access to bus services and limited access to such services as health and higher education “the region is in desperate need of greater investment into bus services”. “The shire has the second lowest provision of public transport out of the 31 councils in the Melbourne metro area,” he said. “The aged, youth and mobility affected deserve at least a basic level of service no matter where they live. “The existing 788 bus service carries more than half a million passengers annually, with current frequencies from 45 to 100 minutes failing to meet growing demand. “We need the Victorian and federal governments to get moving on these public transport projects that will deliver better outcomes for our joint communities.” Keith Platt

‘Something special’ for old hospital site Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE new owners of the former Mt Eliza hospital site in Jacksons Road last week described it as a “blank canvas offering unique opportunities”. Melbourne-based property developer Hengyi Pacific bought the 3.4 hectare site for just over $17 million earlier this year and is “currently working closely with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to determine the … best use for the site that respects the surrounding street character”. General manager Simon Manley said he was “very excited with our latest acquisition and are looking forward to transforming the unused parcel into something special”. The developer is “working with council to determine the final outcome for the site and will look to lodge a town planning application shortly”. This could either be subdivision into luxury residential lots or high-end retirement living. Mr Manley said heritage elements of the chapel on Jacksons Road and administration and facilities buildings from the 1930s could be part of the redevelopment. These included the Spanish mission-style buildings by prominent hospital architects Stephenson and Meldrum with their rendered masonry and tiled roofs. “We saw it as a good opportunity as the site is, in relative terms, a blank canvas to basically start again and also to create something that the precinct will benefit from,” said Mr Manley, adding that similar sites become available “once-in-a-lifetime”. The $17 million-plus sale price was several million less than anticipated when the beach-front site was last on the market in March 2017. It is thought strict heritage and regulatory requirements and a weakening property market reduced demand for the General Residential 1 zone site. Other potential uses touted at the time included hotel accommodation and medical, subject to council approvals. The sale follows those of similar large Mt Eliza landholdings in the past few years, including the former Mt Eliza Business School (8.9 hectares), which sold for close to $40 million and Morning Star Estate (63 hectares), which sold for more than $36 million.

OBITUARY

David Jarman - farmer, family man, and respected community leader By Peter McCullough

David George Jarman OAM JP

9 March, 1940 – 10 March, 2019. ONE of the Mornington Peninsula’s best-known community leaders, David Jarman, passed away at Peninsula Private Hospital on 10 March after a short illness. He was 79 and one day. His funeral took place at St John’s Anglican Church, Flinders, on 19 March with the Reverend Jennifer Furphy officiating and over 400 in attendance. The eulogy was given by Andrew Stewart, David’s son-in-law, based on notes prepared by David’s wife, Joy, and daughter, Nerida. At the conclusion of the service the cortege travelled through the Flinders golf course and then proceeded to the Flinders cemetery. *** The Jarmans of Devon Orchards DAVID’S grandfather, Wallace Bruce Douglas Jarman (1880-1941) was an adventurous man who migrated to Australia in 1913, bringing with him his wife, Daisy Maria, and their children Daisy, May, Frederick and Arthur. The youngest member, George, was born in Australia. Having been a curator at the Torquay Gardens in Devon, Wallace had considerable horticultural expertise. The family settled in Red Hill where the fertile soil suited his long-term plans to establish orchards. From the clearing of the bush until a worthwhile apple harvest eventuates could take between five and ten years. While the apple and pear trees were maturing an extensive market garden was established with an innovative irrigation system. Strawberries, cauliflowers and potatoes were grown and, in an average season, 70,000 cabbages and 55-69 tons of peas and beans were harvested. Before long Fred and his sister Daisy had a regular produce run by horse and cart to hotels and guesthouses as far as Portsea. Wallace Jarman was quite a driving force. He became a director of the Red Hill Co-op Cool Store, built in 1922, which stored fruit for the everexpanding local orchardists. He also purchased more land to eventually own 186 acres on Mornington-Flinders Road, close to Tucks Road, with 120 acres under orchard. From very humble beginnings Devon Orchards was built up to be a successful enterprise; one of the largest orchards on the peninsula, it was a show place often featured in the local newspapers. With the orchard

flourishing and acres set aside for cattle grazing, Wallace decided in 1926 to build a more permanent home: a much-admired Californian bungalow called “Devonia” was the result. Because of the volume of fruit being produced Devon Orchards built its own coolstore in the 1930’s. Between the wars many Italians migrated to Australia and some worked on the Jarman orchard clearing land, planting fruit trees, and growing vegetables. They were respected in the district and eventually acquired their own properties. They tended to congregate in an area along Flinders Road in Main Ridge which became known locally as “Little Italy”. As was the custom, all members of the Jarman family were expected to work on the property for six days a week and the hard physical tasks were only relieved when tractors were introduced. David’s father, Fred, had

the task of driving daily to the Victoria Market, a three to four hour trip each way, in a solid tyred Ford; this gave way to a solid tyred International which was invariably overloaded. In 1937 Fred (1903-1978) married Mabel Nase (1908-1973) at St. John’s, Flinders. Their family consisted of four children: Catherine (known as “Cay”), David, John (who died of an illness at the age of ten), and Roger (the victim of a motor vehicle accident when he was in his early 30’s). Being the eldest boy, Fred stayed on the farm to help with food production during the war years and he became the air raid warden for the local area. Later he was on the council of Flinders Shire for twenty years. *** David George Jarman was born at the Dromana Bush Nursing Hospital on 9 March, 1940 and lived on his beloved Mornington Peninsula all his

life. David had an idyllic childhood which probably accounted for his well-balanced and happy personality. He was surrounded by both sets of grandparents: the grandparents Jarman lived next door on the farm and the grandparents Nase lived at “Wilga” in Flinders with their maiden Aunt Ruby. The Nase grandparents had a large grazing property which stretched along the coastline to the south of the town. David’s early years were spent mushrooming, climbing pine trees to attach aerials for his crystal set, flying model planes, rabbiting, breeding geese and, as he grew older, driving tractors, tinkering with engines, and caddying at Flinders Golf Club. David’s parents were great supporters of the scouting and guiding movement; in fact they donated a block of land in Red Hill for the Guide Hall and his mother was a Guide Com-

missioner. David was a member of the Red Hill Troop , revelled in hikes around the peninsula, attended a world jamboree, and became a Queen’s Scout. With his older sister, “Cay”, David rode a Shetland pony to school at Red Hill but was frequently thrown off and forced to walk the rest of the way. This did not engender a love of horses. Secondary schooling was initially at Frankston which was a convoluted journey. Travel problems were eased when Rosebud High School was built; David attended there until Year 12 and was a prefect. During his teenage years David played competition tennis and joined the Young Farmers which was very strong in the rural areas. He had many trips to country clubs around Victoria, attended balls, and formed long term friendships. The latter included David

Renouf who was to be his best man and subsequently served as a fellow councillor for the Mornington Peninsula Shire. The 1960’s was a difficult time for the apple industry as Britain had joined the Common Market. After undertaking a business course part time, David convinced the family of the need to diversify: they went into turkey production, then chickens. David’s various skills were evident when he milled the timber in the farm’s small saw mill, levelled the site for the turkey sheds (assisted by his cousin John Brunning), and built a dam for the necessary water supply. All of this was achieved by David with the farm equipment. These new ventures were run in conjunction with the orchard and cattle grazing. Meanwhile, the social activities of Young Farmers notwithstanding, David had started courting a city girl, Joy Bidmeade. The courtship, which often involved helping David in the turkey sheds, culminated in their marriage in February, 1970. In 1975 Sarah was welcomed into the family and in 1977 Nerida was born. It was during the 1980’s that what Joy has described as David’s “over developed work ethic” became more prominent. As well as taking care of the chickens, orchard and cattle, David decided to contract with the Education Department to transport children to school. Two buses were purchased, one of which David drove with sufficient skills and good cheer that the passengers awarded him the title “Bus Driver of the Year.” Joy countered the suggestion that she might drive the other bus by saying that her legs were too short to reach the pedals! David had already become involved in various groups: the Orchardists Association, Meat Chicken Association, the Bus Proprietors Association, and he was President of the peninsula branch of the Victorian Farmers’ Federation. He had also been an office bearer at Red Hill Tennis Club. Then, in his early 30’s, he was asked to join the Dromana Rotary Club and became a Charter Member. David particularly enjoyed participating in overseas building projects and the camaraderie of his fellow members.

During his 49 years of membership he served as President and was a Paul Harris Fellow. Local issues and organizations invariably attracted David’s attention and he became involved in all those that touched his life. This led him to follow in his father’s footsteps and he became a councillor with the Shire of Flinders. After the municipal amalgamations in 1994 he was elected to represent the area in the newlyformed Mornington Peninsula Shire and had the honour to be elected the first Mayor. At the time there were a number of divisive issues and David’s calm and rational approach was helpful in arriving at solutions which were acceptable to all. In total, David served on the two councils for a total of fifteen years. While still on the Council David was elected as President of the Flinders Golf Club, a position he held for five years during which time the clubhouse went through major renovations. David Jarman contributed to many other organizations across the peninsula: he was a committee member of the Flinders Community Association and a past chairman of the Bass Park Trust; he was a member of the historical societies at both Flinders and Dromana as well as the Collins Settlement Site; a member of the Red Hill Show Society; the Chairman of the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal (Southern Peninsula); and for ten years he was a Board Member of Blairgowrie Living and Learning. The other important part of David’s life was his church. He was baptised and confirmed at St.John’s, Flinders, and was on the vestry for many years. His faith was a firm foundation for his life. In June, 2013 David’s contribution to the community was recognized when he was awarded the OAM for his service to local government and the community generally. For many years he was also a Justice of the Peace. It should also be mentioned that in April 2016 Joy was awarded the OAM for her work with people with a disability. In the 1996 Cook Street, Flinders, became the family home instead of Devon Orchards. Even in “retire-

ment” David’s lust for life was evident. In his late 60’s/early 70’s he travelled to Antarctica, went hang gliding in Rio de Janeiro, and hiked in New Zealand. After Antarctica he took up kayaking in Western Port Bay, then bike riding bay-to-bay. In his mid 70’s he purchased a boat and further adventures followed. Although the family has dispersed - Sarah lives in Frankston and Nerida (with her husband Andrew and children Hugh(9) and Ruby(7)) is at present a resident of Houston, Texas - modern technology has ensured that David and Joy have maintained close ties with all members. As Andrew mentioned in the eulogy, David loved his family and took great pride in their achievements. He showed them by example how to be respectful, polite and caring. His reaching out to help others came naturally and his kind and happy demeanour will be missed by all who knew him.

Client’s plea to pressure bank to stay open I am concerned at the closure of the Commonwealth Bank Dromana branch and request the bank reconsider this closure (“Bank withdraws from Dromana” The News 9/4/19). My family has had a 40-year association with this branch and been well served by its staff over the years. This branch is mainly used by pensioners, selffunded retirees and small businesses, of which many are unable, or have the time to travel to the Rosebud or Mornington branches as suggested by the bank as the alternative. There has been no consultation with customers or, as I understand, the branch staff about the closure. Given the recent Royal Commission findings that the big four banks, including the Commonwealth Bank, have been putting shareholders ahead of customers and that this needed to change. Given the pending closure of the Dromana branch on 3 May, the Commonwealth Bank has given a “one finger salute” to the commission’s findings and the customers of its Dromana branch. On contacting the office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt seeking support to pressure the Commonwealth Bank to reverse its decision I was told they knew about the closure but were not prepared to advocate on behalf of the disadvantaged customers (his constituents) to keep the branch open. I seek the support of Dromana residents and businesses to pressure the Commonwealth Bank to keep the Dromana branch open. Ian Tatterson, Dromana

Rail benefits overlooked I am writing to outline two overlooked aspects of the much-awaited metro [electrified rail] extension to Baxter, after sighting recent local press articles. First, is the considerable benefit for the

Hastings/Stony Point area from direct access to the Melbourne metro system at Baxter. Second, and flowing from this ,is the reinstatement of the rail service to and from Mornington, via Baxter using the existing track and based on the current Hastings/Stony Point service, a fast and safe single trip, Mornington to Melbourne CBD and return. Rail travel to Frankston and to the health and education hub there would provide a fast, safe and frequent alternative to car travel or to the present hourly bus services. Both of these opportunities add significantly to the value of the project but have been overlooked in the planning so far. About half of the existing Mornington line is in regular use, Moorooduc to Mornington, and meets the current Rail Safety Victoria requirements for operational track. The district of Mornington has a population of 163,000 (June 2017 figure). To have rail travel restored would be very warmly embraced by the voting community and would help significantly in relieving the current congestion and proposed development concerns in the Oakbank Road/ Bungower Road/Nepean Highway area. The rail corridor passes directly through this region. As a concerned resident of Mt Eliza for many years I commend this as a realistic proposal and a forgotten impetus to the Baxter plans. My concept is worthy of timely consideration and I thank you for providing the opportunity to present it. Bruce Morton, Mount Eliza

hicle damages and physical trauma, despite multiple Mornington Peninsula Shire staff inspections and repeated correspondence stating that they would all be removed “as soon as possible” and the trees then “regularly and safely maintained.” These safety assurances have all been false, making an unsafe mockery of the staff pledges and our more than $1 million dollars in rates during this time. The reality is that some senior staff, assisted by poor governance, do not care about these proven dangers and no one ensures that the agreed to safety works are carried out. Continuing to ignore these dangers has resulted in these disasters and will result in more if this attitude continues. Almost all of the senior staff who did reply to our complaints have never inspected any of the four dangerous sites while our councillors have either just given our correspondence and photographs to the very staff we are criticising, who continued to do nothing, or ignored them, again without inspecting the potentially lethal sites. Ron Brown, on behalf of the Point Nepean Road and Greenwood Avenue ratepayers, Sorrento

Money goes missing I’ve just noticed an article about dog registration states that dog fees help fund off leash areas (“Time to register pets” The News 2/4/19). This is a blatant lie in regard to McCrae beach which has never had any money spent on it in the more than 40-plus plus years I’ve been walking my dogs. The shire won’t even provide more bins over the Christmas holidays when the population escalates. The only thing I can remember happening in all that time, was the removal of the only tap we had for water, in the car park. I now have to bring my own water and bowl so Gloria can have a drink after exercising. Instead of self promotion, council should concentrate on providing such facilities such as taps, bins, seats and shelters. Ron Moore and Gloria (the dog), Rosebud

Shifting the bottleneck I have noticed that recently the Jetty Road, Rosebud overpass has been getting a mention (“Danger road drives poll promises” The News 9/4/19). I believe, in the budget under the Urban Congestion Fund, $65 million has been allocated for the Mornington Peninsula (freeway) grade separation and duplication to Boneo Road. This is yet another example of wasting taxpayers’ money. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has thrown our money away ($187 million) to open and close the Christmas Island detention centre for a rather expensive photo opportunity. The waste of money building the overpass at Jetty Road is not going to ease the bottleneck that is the annual nightmare come holiday season. All it will do is move the problem down further to Boneo Road. At least for now some of the traffic disperses on to Jetty Road and the remainder carries on up to Boneo Road. Until the authorities find a solution on how they can extend the freeway without damaging the biodiversity of the very important Tootgarook wetlands, why not instead of putting the $65 million back in the pork barrel, put it to good use in health, education or even aged care? John Cain, McCrae

Climate Ignored. The Liberal Party has given final federal approval for the polluting Adani coal mine, a process started by Flinders MP Greg Hunt, who also stated that opening the biggest coal mine in Australia would have no impact on our amazing barrier reef. The result of his Direct Action policy (do you recall that sell to the Mornington Peninsula on all the flyers?) was that emissions are now still increasing. What I see as absolute disrespect and betrayal from our local member to the community and the country must not be rewarded come election time. Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens

The save Greg Hunt brigade is out and busy with the help from the far right Advance Australia lobby group, sandbagging their hero against the flood of discontent of the electorate (“Hunt gets support from the right” The News 9/4/19). Hopefully, Flinders voters will remember that

it was Mr Hunt who, as federal environment minister, gave Adani the first thumbs up for its environment-destroying mining venture in Queensland. And it was also he that was seeking to carve great chunks from our world heritage Tasmanian forests. Hopefully, Flinders will become a very marginal seat, which would most likely be a great thing for us all here on the Mornington Peninsula. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring beach

Budget trickery

The federal Liberal government is now trying to trick us again by considering the escalation of the tax cuts and bring them forward for 2024-25. They make it seem like they are doing something for us bottom feeders with this rhetoric. The Impact of tax cuts for working Australians is quite interesting and, of course, the politicians and aristocrats benefit the most: the lowest paid ($30,000) will get $200 while the politicians and aristocrats ($200,000) will get $7225. This is exactly in line with the last three tax cuts put forth by the Coalition (“coal” being the operative part of this word). Let’s think - the lowest paid will spend it and the politicians and aristocrats will do anything to avoid paying tax on it, will not spend it and will ship it to offshore to tax havens. Jobs are created by spending (demand) not by putting it in the bank. We need tax reforms that benefit most Australians not tax cuts that benefit politicians, aristocrats, and the corporate Mafia who minimise their tax contribution, if any, through sleight of hand. It astounds me that so many people vote against their own best interests time and time again. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Climate ‘reasoning’ Technology has made possible amazing opportunities for the improvement of our lives. However, technology must be understood and harnessed if we are to take advantage of this. Take computers, they have no natural intelligence and cannot assess data with reason. It is a GIGO system garbage in garbage out. Hence, it should not be used for analyses of data without checking the baseline assumptions. When assessing climate change, it is quite simple to use a computer to verify linkages which suit your own initial premises. In many cases, this will conflict with established laws of science. For example, there is evidence of a change in the Earth’s climate, but to link it with the increase of natural gases, such as CO2 is based purely on computer analyses and could therefore be GIGO. Pure science should evaluate the effects from the first and second laws of thermodynamics, which would give a totally different explanation for any temperature rise. Or what about medical science - all humans radiate an average of at least 50 watts of heat continuously, even when doing nothing. If children stayed in school and learned more science, they may understand other potential reasons for climate change. John Kuchel, Capel Sound

Rising climate I thank the Liberals for the cash gift of 35 cents a day towards my electricity costs. I also get a state pensioner concession of about 40 cents a day. I pay about 25 cents a day GST. Most annoyingly, I pay a flat 75 cents a day “service fee” for nothing. Electricity prices are held artificially high so that wind and solar installations can return a suitable profit on investment, otherwise such investments are not competitive with coal power. As well, these installations reduce the urgency of replacing essential but ancient, worn-out, existing coal fired generators. Hazelwood was closed so that it didn’t have to be rebuilt. The technical problems and complexities of connecting all of these relatively tiny, intermittent renewable generators and bringing their collective power to the cities is the problem of someone else. Am I being cynical in seeing how neatly the carbon-caused climate change scare theories fit in with big business investments and profiteering, while our governments spend many billions of dollars on infrastructure, mostly roads to cater for ever more polluting cars, trucks and people? Melbournians are paying off a desalination plant at $1.8 million a day, to a total of $9 billion over 28 years, built to conquer a 13-year never ending drought (caused by climate change) which promptly ended and we’ve never since needed that plant. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston’s Ragged Boys Home to get a new wing *** MESSRS May and Picking of Collins Street, Melbourne, announce the merits of “Stimla” which may be procured locally. *** WESTERNPORT Fishing Sections: As the result of last week’s conference between the Chief Inspector of Fisheries, Mr. C.E. Semmens had the representative of the various fishing sections at Westernport, it is likely that regulations will be gazetted reducing the maximum weekly catch for each fisherman from seven bags to five bags of three bushels each. The object of this limitation will be to prolong the life of the deep sea beds, which, under netting conditions, is necessarily limited. Careful provision will also be made, it is understood, for the disposal of the dredged rubbish and oyster shells, attached to which are invariably a quantity of young oysters capable of attaching themselves to new beds if chosen with discrimination. Feed and the nature of ocean current are the main considerations in the selection of such beds, but with the assistance of fishermen it is hoped to prolong the life of the oyster industry at Westernport, which was worth £8000 last year to the various fishingsections, for a considerable period. *** TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— I would deem it a favor if you would publish this letter for the benefit of a certain class of the community who find themselves completely “fuddled” when called upon to exercise their brains. A statement in the circular my wife

Compiled by Cameron McCullough AT the last meeting of the committee of the Ragged Boys’ Home it was reported that 40 boys were in residence at the Frankston Home, and it was agreed that a new wing be added to the home. Mr. J. Menzies, M.L.A. the chairman, announced that a donation of £100 had been promised for this work. Mr. William Brown was elected a member of the committee, and Mr Rushberry was appointed assistant secretary. *** THE date of the next meeting of the Frankston Progress Association has been moved forward a week to avoid the Easter holidays. *** FRANKSTON Repatriation Committee. At the last weekly meeting of this body the resignation of Mr. V. N. Hyndes as hon. secretary was received and accepted. Mr Hyndes has removed up to the city end, and on account of his studies has seen the necessity of applying all his time to this. The committee recognise the very useful work he has done whilst associated with them. Cr Mason was appointed in his stead. *** ATTENTION is directed to new advertisement appearing in this issue. Miss Nellie Thomson advises that she has taken over the dressmaking, millinery, and drapery business lately carried on by Mrs Lee in Young Street, and solicits a share of public patronage.

“Mind blowingly splendiferous”

used to advertise her intention of opening a dancing class, appears to be the disturbing factor in this case. Such statement reads to the effect that she was, at some time, a pupil of Miss Jennie Brennan. At least one person (of the species to whom “thinking means headache”) found cause to doubt the veracity of that statement, and went to the trouble of sending one of the circulars to Miss Brennan, evidently for verification purposes, or to obtain information that would show my wife to be sailing under false colors. I can quite imagine the feeling of satisfaction the person in question would enjoy on hearing Miss Brennan answer that she “never had a Mrs Fielder as a pupil.” The fact that Mrs Fielder was “Miss Somebody” before she became “Mrs Somebody,” and that it was during the “Miss” period of her life that she was under tuition from Miss Brennan was too soft to penetrate the thick skulls of the “Fuddled Ones”. Should any person of the class referred to feel that they would sleep more peacefully if they were in possession of my wife’s maiden name, I will give the consideration to any personal application at the address appended hereto.—Yours &c., J. H. FIELDER, “Erinville”, Playne St. Frankston. *** Heard in the Train.

least say “how-de-do” to our returned boys. That a party of Frankston gentlemen had a merry motor spin to Chelsea, or thereabouts, the other evening. That one genial sport of the party in making provision to protect his frame from the biting breeze experienced on the homeward journey, unwittingly succeeded in presenting a physiognomy so like “old Bill” of “Better ‘Ole” renown, that his companions roared with merriment. That Messrs Brody and Mason’s Frankston market on Wednesday attracted a record attendance to compete for a record entry of produce. That the market is a triumph for local enterprise, and is rapidly becoming one of the most important exchanges outside of Melbourne. That Auctioneer Mason did not relish the task of submitting Major Condor’s well-known charger “Midnight” to auction. It was too significant of other charges looming ahead. That Mornington footballers made a bad start for the season by failing to fulfil their engagement with the Frankston club last Saturday. That Frankston players assembled in full force and were considerably disappointed at the non arrival of the neighboring team. That the locals looked quite smart and business like in their new uniforms, and give promise of placing the red and black in a prominent position in the forthcoming competition. That the Frankston team has a solid backer in the clubs president – Mr. E. J. Parker, while their Secretary, Mr Matt. Kemp, seems to have the happy knack of keeping players together.

That Frankston’s erstwhile champion “Smitho” donned the colors for the first time on Saturday since his German smashing exploits. That quite a number of returned boys throughout the Peninsula are expected to do battle on the green during the competition matches.

IF ONLY WE HAD SOMEONE THIS CLEVER RUNNING THE COUNTRY… ONE of Australia’s favourite performers, Jonathan Biggins, is Paul Keating – visionary, reformer and rabble-rouser – in a highly anticipated new comedy, The Gospel According to Paul. Full of intelligence and wit, The Gospel According to Paul is a funny, insightful and occasionally poignant portrait of Paul Keating, the man that – as he tells it – single-handedly shaped contemporary Australia. Jonathan Biggins’ performance as Paul Keating is well known from the long-running Sydney Theatre Company success story, The Wharf Revue. Beyond the canny impersonation, Jonathan, like so many Australians, has long been fascinated by Keating and what Keating means to Australia. Showcasing his eviscerating wit, rich rhetoric and ego the size of Everest, The Gospel According to Paul distils Keating’s essence into 75 minutes, focussing on key biographical milestones, landmark political achievements and personal obsessions. It shows the man who grew up in the tribe of the Labor Party and gained an education at the knee of Jack Lang, who treated economics as an art form, and demanded we confront the wrongs of our colonial past. Biggins asks the question - what can we learn today from this singular politician, and

Sharks swim out of troubled waters DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn SORRENTO have edged out Mt Eliza in a thriller at David Macfarlane Reserve to back up their impressive victory over the Stonecats last week. The Sharks were once again made to fight back from behind, after a five goal to zero second term had the Redlegs 29 points up at the main break. After not making much progress chipping away the deficit in the third term, Sorrento required a massive final quarter to win. A six goals to zip surge in the last quarter saw the Sharks drag themselves over the line in a hard fought 11.13 (79) to 10.11 (71) victory. Luke Lowden and Leigh Poholke scored three goals apiece for the Sharks in their winning effort. Frankston YCW had less trouble in their clash against Mornington, as they made amends for their round one loss in convincing fashion. The Bulldogs looked on the backfoot from the get go, as YCW managed an astonishing 51 shots at goal. Their inaccuracy stopped the margin from blowing out to a disastrous degree. The Stonecats showed their intent to improve in 2019 by securing the win 9.6 (60) to 19.32 (146). Lachlan Street was best afield for the Stonecats, kicking four majors. Jackson Calder did his best for the Bulldogs and scored five. Dromana continue to look right at home playing Division One football, as they got the best of Frankston Bombers. Playing at home, Dromana were able to put the game to bed with a first half in which they held the Bombers goalless. Down 47 points at the main break, the Bombers could do little to fight their way back. Although much better in the second half, the Bombers still succumbed to a disappointing defeat 13.10 (88) to 6.12 (48). At Eric Bell Reserve, Pines continued their premiership defence with a scrappy win over Edithvale-Aspendale. Pines led at each break in the low scoring affair, although Edi-Asp kept in touch. The final score read 9.14 (68) to 7.4 (46). Bonbeach enjoyed a victory over Rosebud at home, thanks to a six goal haul from Joseph Fisscher. Rosebud started well but eventually fell away, losing 12.14 (86) to 9.7 (61). Bonbeach will take on Edithvale-Aspendale in a Good Friday clash at Regents Park this weekend. The action will kick off from 2pm, with both sides looking to move to 2-1 to start the year.

Stonecats dominate: The Doggies had their tails between their legs in their clash against Frankston YCW, but if it wasn’t for inaccuracy in front of goal, the result could have been much worse. Picture: Alan Dillon

Somerville spoil the Yabbies’ party DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn TYABB brought out the big guns on Saturday with AFL premiership winning forward Travis Cloke running out for a one-off appearance, but their Somerville opponents were out to spoil the party. For the Yabbies it was a day of wasted chances, as they struggled to hit the scoreboard and convert their opportunities into goals. Somerville flexed their own forward line muscles away from home, with Paul Fermanis and Ryan Gillis both booting four. Despite the help from their former Collingwood star, Tyabb fell to defeat 11.16 (82) to 14.18 (102).

Cloke kicked two for the day. Karingal’s superstar forward recruit had a better day at Chelsea Reserve, booting five majors to help his side to victory against Chelsea. Marc Holt backed up his bag of seven from last week with a bag of five this time around, taking his tally for the year to 16 from three games. The Seagulls were competitive and held the lead going into the final break, but the Bulls proved just too strong and ran away with it 11.7 (73) to 13.10 (88). The win is the Bulls’ third from three games, as they look one of the firm favourites to fight for the premiership this season. At Belvedere Reserve, Seaford se-

cured a huge win over Langwarrin to keep up their fight for promotion back to division one. The Tigers put a competitive contest to bed by tearing the Kangaroos apart in the third quarter. Aaron Walton and Sam Lonie were big contributors for the winning outfit, putting through four goals each to help their side to a 15.16 (106) to 7.11 (53) win. Around the grounds, Red Hill fired a warning shot to the rest of the competition by scoring a ruthless and dominant win over Pearcedale. Pearcedale were helpless against the dazzling Red Hill, with the scoreline reading 96 to zero midway through the third term.

Red Hill were out to make a statement, and the flow of goals never stopped. They claimed the win 24.25 (169) to 2.3 (15). Last year’s grand final losers proved they have what it takes to go one better in 2019. Jonathon Ross scored five goals for the Hillmen, while Harry Wynn-Pope and Jake Mold also had dominant displays. Things were much closer at Glover Reserve, as Devon Meadows clawed over the line against Crib Point. With the lead at each break of play standing at less than a goal, the Magpies stayed right in the contest until the end. Devon Meadows secured the four points as the final siren sounded with

the scoreboard reading 9.14 (68) to 9.3 (57). Playing away from home against Rye, Hastings secured another big win to go two from two in 2019. Star recruit Brendan Fevola has yet to pull on the jumper for the Blues, but that hasn’t stopped them from hitting the ground running this season. Their win takes them up to second in the ladder, only behind Karingal because the Bulls have played an extra game. Luke Hewitt and Taylor Stratton shared the goal kicking responsibility for Hastings with three each, as their side got the best of Rye 8.10 (58) to 11.15 (81).

Council gives Somerville $550,000 SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SOMERVILLE Eagles have secured significant grants from Mornington Peninsula Shire council. The promotion-chasing State 5 club understands that the council will spend $500,000 on clubrooms at Tyabb Central Reserve while also allocating $50,000 for a feasibility study which it hopes will identify a permanent home for the Eagles. “It’s not official yet but we understand that we’ve been granted the money which is great news for our club,” president Luke Mulder said. The Tyabb Cricket Club shares the reserve and will also benefit from a clubroom upgrade. The feasibility study will centre on Clarendon Reserve in Somerville and will look at the viability of developing three pitches with clubrooms at that venue. Currently the Eagles alternate between playing home games at Tyabb Central Reserve and on a synthetic pitch at Somerville Secondary College. “It’s exciting times for the club and the local community and a great reward for the amount of hard work the committee puts in to running the club and I know how hard they have pushed to get this far,” joint senior coach Scott Morrison said. “It’s been a tough juggling act for the club these past few years having to use different pitches but for everyone in the local community it will be amazing to get this soccer complex across the line in Somerville.” Another benefactor of a funding grant was NPL2 title contender Langwarrin who announced last week that it had secured $375,000 from the federal government’s Community Development Grants Programme. This will fund a stage 1 project to install floodlights on pitch 3 at Lawton Park and electrical upgrades to allow the as yet unfunded stage 2 which will install floodlights on the main pitch and upgrade the current floodlights on the top pitch near the entrance to the complex. The news wasn’t as positive on the main pitch last Saturday when Langy lost its NPL2 clash 1-0 against Manningham United Blues. The home side failed to clear following a long throw-in from the right in the 16th minute allowing Manningham’s Billy Romas to slam the ball home from close range. Last week Langwarrin announced the signing of defender Luke Goulding from Melbourne Victory, younger brother of senior team midfielder Cal-

lum. Luke Goulding is 18 and Langy is able to sign players from other NPL clubs outside the transfer window if they are under-20s. It’s believed that Kingston City midfielder Cooper Legrand remains firmly on Langy’s radar. The Mauritian international can’t be signed until the transfer window opens on 14 May. In State 1 news Mornington got back to winning ways when it downed Mazenod Victory 2-1 at Dallas Brooks Park last Friday night. Veteran striker Nick Waite was the local hero with two goals in the opening eight minutes, the first coming after a mistimed punch from Mazenod keeper Robbie Acs in the first minute. Waite was lurking as usual at the back post and when the ball fell at his feet Mazenod’s fate was sealed. Seven minutes later Waite’s attempted through ball was cut out but he followed up and slammed home a shot from inside the area to give the home side a two-goal cushion. Amir Osmancevic could have ended Mazenod’s hopes in the first few seconds of the second half but his near post header was well parried by Acs. Mazenod scored in the 53rd minute when Rob D’Angelo’s cutback from the left was met first time by Jayson Gucciardo whose low strike gave Mornington keeper Taylor Davidson

little chance. In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers went down 3-0 at home to BoroondaraCarey Eagles. The visitors were 2-0 at half-time and Lachlan Nichols’ second goal in the 72nd minute settled the issue. In State 3 news Frankston Pines received bad news last week when midfielder Cam Bryden was ruled out for the rest of the season with an ACL tear. The injury occurred during the club’s FFA Cup loss to Thornbury Athletic in early March but was initially misdiagnosed and now Bryden requires surgery. Fellow midfielder Joe O’Connor suffered a corked thigh against Whitehorse United on 6 April and could miss another fortnight. Their absence forced head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor to rearrange his side for last Friday’s home clash with Collingwood City. But it was like shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic because Pines were thumped 5-0 by the ladder leader. This Pines side is a far cry from the Pines of old. Too many players wearing the club colours on Friday were non-combative and even pulled out of 50/50 challenges while some of the defending was farcical. Add this to an inability to create chances against a team that closes down well and is good on the ball and

it’s a recipe for disaster. Meanwhile fellow State 3 rival Skye United lost 3-1 to Elwood City at Elwood Park on Saturday. Midfielder Mark O’Connor scored for Skye which is still searching for its first league win of the season as is neighbouring Pines. In State 4 news Baxter earned its first point of the season thanks to a 1-1 draw with fellow struggler Dingley Stars at Baxter Park last weekend. Dingley took the lead in the 38th minute when Baxter was caught on the break and Erman Sepetci raced clear before striking a low shot across Baxter keeper James Foster and in off the far post. Baxter had to wait until the 89th minute for the equaliser and it came from substitute Lewis Gibson’s well-taken penalty conversion. Much has been made of Baxter’s nightmare start to its 2019 campaign but this was a competitive and spirited display albeit against another lowly ranked outfit. Veteran defender Matt McDermott has added some steel to the side and attacks the ball with intent while Nat Daher’s second half was excellent and his eagerness to run at opponents and take them on was a highlight. Fatih Akdogan took over the senior coaching reins at Dingley last week after the club parted company with Billy Armour and Billy Rae. Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United went down 2-1 at home to Endeavour United on Saturday. A fast break from Sebastian Goyenechea in the 13th minute and a welltimed cross should have provided an easy tap in for Endeavour forward Ifeolewa Ogidan but his miscued strike eventually crossed the line despite a defender and Seaford keeper Anthony Madafferi both getting a touch. Conor Mcfall, Jack Carter, Mitch Lander and Naseer Mohammad all had shots on target for the home side only to be denied by Franc Marateo with some solid saves. Lander equalised in the 37th minute after rounding two defenders and effecting a clinical finish and the sides went in locked at 1-1 at the interval. The decider came in the 83rd minute when Madafferi parried and former Langwarrin midfielder Matt Morgan struck a firm shot which Madafferi got a hand to but only succeeded in deflecting the ball into the roof of the net. In State 5 news Aspendale Stingrays recorded their first league win under Lee Barber when they defeated Rosebud 3-1 at Olympic Park last weekend. Pal Calvino scored with a header from a corner in the 14th minute.

The Stingrays dominated the first half and two goals from Kenan Nuhanovic sent them in at the break with a three-goal cushion. Rosebud’s reply came in the 85th minute after a penalty was awarded for handling and Blake Hicks converted from the spot. Aspendale’s best were Calvino, Kieran Hughes, Peter Dimopoulos and Guilherme Ribeiro. Somerville Eagles bounced back from the previous week’s reversal to beat Pakenham United 2-0 at IYU Reserve on Saturday. Ben Meiklem started on the bench after his switch from Baxter late last week. Somerville talisman Mark Pagliarulo had returned from a holiday on the Gold Coast and gave the visitors the lead in the 40th minute when he rolled his marker and smacked home a low drive. Eagles co-coach Dave Greening had chances to increase the lead but eventually they forged further ahead after good work by Meiklem set up Pagliarulo in the 72nd minute and his firm strike gave Pakenham keeper Jarrod Reynolds no chance. In NPLW news Southern United’s senior and under-19 teams both lost 10-0 to Box Hill United last weekend. Southern’s under-16s won 7-1 with goals from Rhys McKenna (4), Eden McKeown (2) and Danica Vukcevic. Vukcevic’s backheel volley was the most spectacular of the goals but an interpassing move starting from the right-back position involving five players ended with a cheeky sidefoot volley from McKenna for the best team goal of the contest. Southern’s under-14s won 2-1 with goals from Erica-Derrick Sarfo-Sarpong and Rhiannon Kelleher. In FFA Cup action a floodlight failure in the 70th minute last Wednesday forced an abandonment of Skye United’s thrilling round 5 tie away to Upfield with scores locked at 5-5. Skye’s goals came from Mitch Blake (2), Nic Miliaresis (2) and Mark O’Connor. Football Victoria has taken both clubs by surprise by scheduling the replay for Darebin tomorrow night (Tuesday). This week’s games: TUESDAY, 8.30pm: Upfield v Skye Utd (round 5 FFA Cup, Darebin International Sports Centre). THURSDAY, 8pm: Corio v Langwarrin (round 5 FFA Cup, Hume Reserve, North Geelong). SATURDAY, 3pm: Monash Uni v Frankston Pines (Tatterson Park pitch 3).

Douglas lands Super win at Caulfield By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based jockey Clayton Douglas landed his maiden victory at Caulfield on Saturday 13 April. Having had previously ridden at the track four times, the prominent jumps and flat jockey steered the Anthony Freedman-trained hot-pot Super Seth to a last-to-first victory in the opening race. After a six-length debut win, Super Seth overcame a muddling a tempo and an awkward position before ultimately pulling away for a comfortable one-length victory over the Leon and Troy Corstens-trained Stand To Attention. Jockey, Clayton Douglas, said he rode the two-year-old son of Dundeel as if he was the best horse in the field. “From what he did on debut, I sort of knew the sort of horse that I had underneath me – I’ve ridden him in a little bit of trackwork too,” Douglas said. “The boss said to me ‘just be patient, take your time, you know he’s a good horse so just let things unfold’. From the inside draw I was a little bit worried that I could probably get caught up in traffic but I was able to edge my way out and once he got out into open air, he really hit the line hard.” “I haven’t ridden many (classy horses) in a race but I think this one’s pretty good.” That victory provided Douglas with his fifth metropolitan win for the season. It also provided the Freedman stable with their 10th two-year-old winner for the season. Trainer Anthony Freedman said

connections have a decision to make on Super Seth’s immediate future. “(Brisbane’s) an option. We’ve had that in the back of our mind with him as is a race at Flemington on Anzac Day so we’ll work it out. He might even go for a spell,” he said. Freedman also gave an insight into

the pending decision with Godolphin two-year-old Chenier, who was beaten as an odds-on favourite at Sandown last week. Next Saturday’s Group 1 Champagne Stakes at Randwick remains an option but Freedman is thinking of putting an end to his campaign.

“I am leaning towards going for a spell,” he said. “He’s not really a two-year-old. I think he went OK the other day. The track didn’t really work out for him. He’s a big-striding horse and I think he struggled in that soft ground. He’ll be fine in the spring and that’s the way I am leaning.”
