No protest from ‘picket people’ IT was a case of many hands make colourful work at Rye Community House. Manager Kerryn Ladell said the members longed to brighten up the front of the house and put their thoughts into action last week. “We wanted people to see the fun we have inside reflected on the outside, and to bring a sense of colour,” she said. “Watercolours’ teacher Beatrice Manoukian drew up the concept and the Picket People, as we affectionately call them, were born.” Bunnings donated paints, brushes and fixings, and assistance was provided by volunteer Alyce Fogarty, who works there. Rye Grandpas Shed members and Watercolours students worked for months – even coming in for painting days during the school holidays. “Installation day coincided with last week’s R U OK? day and we felt that a sausage sizzle was a great way to get people together, enjoy the art and have a chat with each other,” Ms Ladell said. “It is our role as a community house to be inclusive, fun, offer friendship and support in any way people need it. Our activities bring people together.” The house’s watercolours’ students will hold an exhibition at Oakhill Gallery, Sunday 5 November. “We have a lot of talent here.” Details: Call the house on 5985 4462.

Somerville Health & Fitness Studio, Crib Point Pool and Western Port Gymnastics at the Hastings Hub. Ratepayers will pay $5,720,290 to Belgravia Leisure over five years in management fees. The Bayswater-based leisure centre and golf course management company will also run All Access outreach programs for older adults in Mornington, Rosebud, Hastings, Somers, Blairgowrie and Somerville. The shire announced the “partner-

ship” with Belgravia Leisure last Thursday (14 September) and said all council staff at the five centres will be offered employment by the private company “with recognition of prior service and maintenance of existing terms and conditions of employment”. The deal to have Belgravia Leisure manage the centres was hailed as “a win-win-win” by the mayor Cr Bev Colomb. “This is a win-win-win: a win for cost-effective service delivery on be-

half of our community, a win for members and user groups and a win for staff,” Cr Colomb said in a statement. “Council will retain ownership and maintenance of the buildings and remains committed to ensuring sport, leisure and recreation services are available to our community. The mayor said it will be “business as usual” at the sports and lei-sure centres after Belgravia Leisure takes over. Council CEO Carl Cowie said the shire has signed a five-year manage-

ment deal with Belgravia Leisure. There is a “first extension option at council’s discretion” after two years and a second extension option after year four of the five-year arrangement. Mr Cowie said Belgravia Leisure can change the centres’ operating hours after the first 12 months of the five-year deal. Existing staff will receive existing pay and conditions but this may change for future employees. Continued Page 10

Poor health led to couple’s death: coroner Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A CORONER’S report into the deaths of an elderly Rosebud couple late last year has described the tragic circumstances as a “common theme”. Judge Sara Hinchey was commenting on the death of Nancy May Budge who died in an apparent murder-suicide pact with her husband, Roy, in the driveway of their Adams Av property, 4.30pm, Thursday 3 November. Both

were in their mid-80s. “It is well understood that people who have lived a full, productive and loving life, but who experience an irreversible deterioration in their physical health, can develop a determination to end their own lives, often in circumstances of desperation, loneliness and fear,” she said. “The Coroners’ Court of Victoria investigates a number of deaths each year in which a person suffering an irreversible decline in physical health has made the decision to end their

own life. Such deaths raise a number of moral and social issues, which fall outside the jurisdiction of the court.” A neighbour found Mrs Budge dead and Mr Budge suffering life-threatening injuries from a 0.22 calibre gunshot wound. He was airlifted to The Alfred hospital but later died. The couple were suffering from terminal illnesses and had “got their affairs in order”, before ending their lives in the car. They had dropped off their dog in their daughter’s backyard and withdrew cash for bills.

Judge Hinchey reported that experts could not determine who had fired the fatal shots because gunshot residue was on both their hands. She said Mrs Budge, in desperation over her poor health, had previously told family members that “if doctors could not do anything to help her, she would take matters into her own hands and get dad’s gun and shoot herself because she was not going to live like this”. Further, an ailing Mr Budge had said that “if he had to shoot [Mrs Budge]

then he would have to make sure it was a good shot”. The family “did not believe that Mr and Mrs Budge were serious regarding these statements, but [were] aware that they did not want to go on suffering as they were.” The coroner determined that Mrs Budge had died from a single gunshot to the head. * For support and information about suicide prevention, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467

Artist’s poster play for a clean bay

Shire plan for office in city

Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au

SOME of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s planning staff and senior executives may soon be operating out of an office in central Melbourne. The shire’s CEO Carl Cowie told The News on 31 August that “there is nothing to report regarding a Shire office in central Melbourne”. But one day later (1 September), in his regular Friday email to shire staff Weekly Message, Mr Cowie described sitting in an Uber “waiting to get on the Monash [Freeway]” on his way to a meeting in the Melbourne CBD with “the exec team”. (He also praised the benefits of having a tablet, or hand held computer, “so you can really get your work done anywhere”.) Exactly one week before (25 August) Mr Cowie’s email to staff said “we have received some pricing for what could be a good first site for a shire planning presence in the CBD”. “I will be inviting several key officers for a look at the office space on Friday 1 September.” The shire’s media department did not respond when asked by The News on the office inspection day: “Is the shire planning, or investigating, having an office in or near central Melbourne?” The quotes attributed to Mr Cowie the previous day also included: “Any such decision [about a Melbourne CBD office] would require Council approval.” Councillors have been briefed about problems faced by the shire in retaining qualified planning staff and the offer of a city office is seen as a “perk” to persuade them to stay. One councillor some years ago told The News that cars were required to attract “bright young things” to the shire from the city. A city office might also prove beneficial to executives who do not reside on the peninsula, even though they knew the position they applied for was based in Rosebud, Mornington or Hastings. Keith Platt

STANDING in the sand dunes at Rye, Josie Jones is pleased to note the absence of rubbish. She is there to promote a community walk at Hastings to raise money and awareness of the Dolphin Research Institute, for which she has designed and added a poster to her “I’m really a mermaid” series. No stranger to the foreshore at Rye, Ms Jones has for the past 12 years walked its length and breadth collecting rubbish either dropped by careless beachgoers or dropped in the bay. A graphic designer, Ms Jones estimates she’s collected four tonnes of rubbish in a personal campaign that’s been recognised with a KVB Tidy Towns: Dame Phyllis Frost Award for “her outstanding commitment to her work in sustainability”. A regular speaker at schools and community groups, she is a keen diver and likes to mention the “full stable of seahorses” under Rye pier. The presence of the seahorse colony exemplifies the need for a clean bay. “The end result of dropping rubbish on land ends in the sea,” Ms Jones says. “I’m passionate about people coming together and working together.” Part of her vision is to help the Dolphin Research Centre, something she can achieve by producing a series of posters with her graphic art skills. She has also become something of a statistician, counting and weighing rubbish to convince people of the growing waste problem. Over two months she collected 5879 cigarette butts. “I take a psychological approach. I don’t take no for an answer and I love seeing people succeed.” Ms Jones says she has gained the

support of a supermarket in collecting rubbish left lying in its car park and is now trying to convince Mornington Peninsula Shire that installing and regularly emptying a recycling bin is a lot cheaper than burying rubbish at the tip. “I come up with solutions and I’m

persistent.” For details about the Sunday 22 October Walk for Western Port go to www.dolphinresearch.org.au/walkwestern-port-2017/ To see Ms Jones’ posters go to www.sharetheword.com.au/im-reallya-mermaid/

MORNINGTON Master class: Laraine Day looks on as Portuguese bonsai expert Rui Fereiera makes adjustments to her 15-year-old mungo pine.

Bonsai master leaves his mark Story and photos: Barry Irving

MORNINGTON Peninsula Bonsai Society members gained insights into their hobby from Portuguese bonsai master Rui Fereiera last week. During the afternoon eight members worked on their own trees under Mr Fereiera’s instruction. Then, in the evening, they watched on as he conducted a full demonstration on a tree provided by a member. Members gained new knowledge as they watched the master work on the trees which will grow into spectacular bonsai. The society has been operating 40 years, first in Tootgarook and now at Moorooduc hall.

MPs say ‘yes’ to marriage equality Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au POLITICIANS who may ultimately vote in Canberra to decide if same-sex marriage is legalised in Australia are taking different approaches to the outcome of the marriage equality vote. Local federal Liberal MPs Chris Crewther (Dunkley) and Greg Hunt (Flinders) have both confirmed they will both personally vote “yes” in response to the question “Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?” mailed out to all Australians listed on the electoral roll last week but have different views on voting in line with the postal survey outcome in their respective electorates. Mr Crewther said he will vote for same-sex marriage to be legalised in the survey but will “support the majority will of the Australian people as determined by the postal survey” if federal MPs subsequently formally vote to change the law in parliament. “In the postal survey itself, I will be voting ‘yes’ because, while I have my own views on marriage within Christianity, I support the separation of church and State, along with strong protections for freedom of speech and religion,” Mr Crewther said. “The State should not impose religion or religious views and practices, nor restrict religion or religious views and practices, as stated in Australia’s Constitution.” The Dunkley MP said he would push for any subsequent legislation after a ‘yes’ vote in the postal survey “to provide strong protections for freedom of

speech and religion, which are absolutely crucial in a liberal democracy”. A spokeswoman for Mr Hunt said the Flinders MP and federal Health Minister will vote ‘yes’ in the survey and would also vote ‘yes’ in any free vote in parliament. “The Minister strongly endorses the rights of all Australians to have a say and has supported this all along,” Mr Hunt’s spokeswoman Samantha Robin said. “The Minister has always stated that he will vote ‘yes’ in a free vote in the parliament and he has also said on many occasions that he will be voting ‘yes’ in the plebiscite. He was elected on this basis and will stand by this position.” Results of the non-compulsory survey run by the Australian Bureau of Statistics will be announced on 15 November and will be broken down along elector-

ate and state boundary lines. Federal MPs — both those for and against same-sex marriage being legalised in Australia — are under no obligation to heed the result of the survey in their electorate. There will be no parliamentary vote if the national survey result opposes same-sex marriage. Federal Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus said he will vote ‘yes’ for marriage equality, both in the postal survey and in parliament, no matter the outcome of the survey vote in his electorate although he is “very confident” the ‘yes’ vote will win in Isaacs. “Labor didn’t want this $122 million postal survey. We wanted marriage equality to become law through a free vote in Parliament, but internal and ongoing divisions within the Liberal Party made this postal survey happen,” Mr Dreyfus said.

“I will be voting yes for marriage equality. There is a lot of talk from the ‘no’ campaign about how marriage equality will infringe on freedom of speech and freedom of religion. It’s simply untrue. Marriage equality will mean that couples of the same gender are allowed to be legally married in Australia. Nothing more, nothing less.” “Marriage rights are human rights and I will be voting to support marriage equality when this next comes to parliament. “As a voluntary, postal vote that is most likely to disenfranchise younger people, this survey is rigged against the yes vote.” People should post back completed surveys in free post-pay envelopes sent out by the ABS before 27 October to meet a 7 November deadline for the collection of votes ahead of the survey result on 15 November.

Maritime centre left off plan WESTERN Port Oberon Association president Max Bryant says he is disappointed his group’s push for a maritime centre is not included in the draft Hastings Foreshore Precinct Plan. Mr Bryant said he was “surprised” by comments of the shire’s property and strategy manager Yasmin Woods that the association does not have state government involvement and approval in having the Otama submarine as a focal point of the proposed maritime centre on the outer wall of the Western Port Marina. “We do have their approval and, if she would care to meet with us, we could show her,” Mr Bryant said. He said the cost of completing the maritime centre “in stages” was about $15 million, with about $5 million to be spent excavating an old channel, called Lacey’s Lead, with a longreach excavator, so the Otama could be floated towards shore. Mr Bryant presented a project brief at a shire drop-in session on 1 June and had “fully expected” to have the maritime centre included as part of the foreshore strategy. He said the association was “disappointed we were not consulted further”. Ms Woods acknowledged that the association had expressed a “strong interest in establishing a maritime centre next to the marina breakwater”. But her report does not back the plan, which centres on relocating the Otama to the marina’s outer wall: “This is a major undertaking that brings considerable expense, environmental and other approval requirements, and range of further work,” Stephen Taylor

Friends fly in to ‘watch’ election By Lucy Rodgers*

NINE members of the Mornington Peninsula Friends of Los Palos were in Timor Leste in July to observe the nation’s parliamentary elections. The group also visited community projects financed by the group, strengthening the relationship between the Los Palos and Mornington Peninsula communities. The team was part of the Australia Timor-Leste Election Observers, the largest observer group for the elections. The observer mission included briefings by Professor Damien Kingsbury on the Timorese voting and tabulation systems. We attended pre-election rallies of the different parties, which brought people out by the thousands. The rallies were peaceful, seeming to be more of a celebration, with young and old attending. On election day our team we attended several polling booths in Los Palos. Polling opened at 7am, but many in the community were already lining up an hour earlier. Our group stayed at the Bauro polling station for the vote count. Counting was in an open public building with a crowd gathering to watch and count, with everyone seeming to be extremely proud of the election. We all agreed that the elections – which saw Fretilin win 23 seats and the National Congress for Timorese Reconstruction 22 seats - were transparent and carried out to a professional standard. One of the friends-sponsored

projects we saw was a bridge built to help in the wet season when the community gets separated by rising water levels, preventing many people attending school or work. We also opened a renovated schoolroom, newly built toilet and a well. The projects are financed by the Mornington Peninsula community, but the planning and construction is completed by the Friends of Los Palos Commission in Timor Leste. This bottom-up approach has allowed the community to choose the most needed projects. The friendship between the peninsula and Los Palos goes back to 2000 and we trust that the Friends of Los Palos can continue to raise money for the much-needed community projects. * Lucy Rodgers is undertaking a Masters of International Relations, Monash University, and went with the Friends of Los Palos to Timor Leste.

Site for transport PENINSULA Transport Assist looks set to receive a long-term lease for larger premises in Baxter to cope with growing demand. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council voted last week to advertise its intention to offer a 10-year lease to the volunteer organisation for a new home in Railway Rd. The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the PTA, currently based in Mt Eliza, “provides a valuable service in combating transport disadvantage” throughout the peninsula and Frankston. About 50 volunteer drivers, using their own cars, drive up to 200 clients a month to medical appointments, hospitals, shops, aged and disability services and airports. Four buses, two provided by the shire, take more than 50 bookings each month. Cr Colomb said: “PTA offers many benefits to the community by increasing active ageing through volunteering, improving older people’s ability to move around their neighbourhood, and increases social and civic participation. “They also improve mature-age people’s access to community and health services, which is essential to wellbeing and independent living.”

Centenary dinner MORNINGTON Bowling Club members celebrated their centenary with a gala dinner dance, Saturday 2 September. The 118 members and guests included Dunkley MP Chris Crewther, the mayor Cr Bev Colomb and Mornington Peninsula Bowls Division president Michael Poda. The dinner dance was followed by a fireworks display.

Police patrol

With Stephen Taylor

Interstate chase snares pair A MAN and a woman on the run following a home invasion in Langwarrin and liquor store robberies in Carrum Downs, Rye, Cranbourne, Berwick and Clyde were arrested in rural New South Wales last week after a dramatic police chase in a stolen car. The 24-year-old man, of no fixed address, and the woman, 19, of Cranbourne, were spotted by police driving a Mitsubishi Pajero 4WD at high speed on the Mitchell Highway, Orange, Sunday 10 September. Police aborted their chase over “public safety concerns” but, about 15 minutes later, they saw the car on another road after it collided with a safety barrier. They attempted to intercept the couple who allegedly reversed into the police car and then drove into an oncoming lane and across several paddocks, damaging 15 fences in the process. The couple abandoned the car at a farm near Clifton Grove and made a run for it before being arrested. Police searched the car and allegedly found “several items believed to be stolen”. Police will allege the pair, along with another man, 28, of Cranbourne East, terrorised the Langwarrin resident, Monday evening, 4 September, before punching and kicking him, threatening him with a Taser and then stealing his phone and car. After the harrowing incident, the Langwarrin resident ran next door and called police. His Mazda sedan was then allegedly used in a $30 petrol drive-off in Carrum Downs. It is still

missing. Earlier that day, the man allegedly stole five packs of bourbon from the Carrum Downs IGA liquor outlet and taunted the attendant to “call the police” when she challenged him. He then allegedly attempted to Taser her, but the weapon failed to fire. Senior Constable Stephen Miotla, of Frankston police, said the man – possibly with the woman – then allegedly stole bourbon from four Coles liquor outlets, Wednesday 6 September, while armed with a knife. After dumping the Mazda the pair stole the Pajero from outside a Cranbourne East primary school and drove through Canberra and into country NSW. After being arrested, the man was charged with several offences including not stopping during a police pursuit, negligent driving, trespass, malicious damage, larceny and a first instance warrant. The woman was charged with a joyriding offence. Both were refused bail to appear at Orange Local Court, Monday 11 September. Senior Constable Miotla said police will seek to extradite the man back to Melbourne at the end of any jail sentence he receives in NSW to face charges, including aggravated home invasion, aggravated burglary, armed robbery, theft of a car and phone, assault and making threats to kill. Police last week were also seeking to extradite the woman to face court on similar charges.

Senior Constable Miotla said the second man in the alleged Langwarrin home invasion was arrested Thursday 7 September and charged with 13 counts, including aggravated home invasion, aggravated burglary, armed robbery, theft of a car, assault and making threats. He has been remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court in December.

Safety concerns end road chases POLICE pursuits in Mornington and Mt Eliza last week were aborted over concerns for public safety. In one instance, police chased an unidentified car with stolen number plates driving west along Nepean Highway near Wilsons Rd, 6.25pm, Thursday 14 September. Acting Sergeant Daniel Patten, of Mornington police, said police tried to pull the car over but it sped away and they called off the pursuit after less than a minute. The driver managed to elude police. In Mt Eliza at 4.55pm the same day, a twin cab ute was recorded at 108kph in an 80kph zone on Nepean Highway. The black Mazda was chased onto Old Mornington Rd where it reached speeds of 125kph before escaping. Somerville Highway Patrol members believe they have identified the owner.

Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2017–21 Mornington Peninsula Shire invites feedback on the draft Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2017–21. The Plan outlines the Shire’s commitment to protecting and promoting the health and wellbeing of community members, as legislated under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008. The Plan outlines a set of health and wellbeing actions under four strategic themes: Our Place, Our Connectivity, Our Prosperity and Our Wellbeing. The Plan adopts a preventative approach which considers factors that contribute to health and wellbeing such as community safety, social inclusion, gender equality, sustainable built and natural environments, climate change adaptation,

secure housing as well as access to services, transport, education, employment and food. The Plan has been developed based on community engagement, data analysis, collaboration with key stakeholders and direction from the Victorian Government.

Private operator to manage shire centres Continued from Page 1 “New team members would be employed by Belgravia Leisure on their terms and conditions,” Mr Cowie told The News. Belgravia Leisure CEO Nick Cox said the company will host break-fasts and information sessions for leisure centre group members and will work with staff during the transition period. “Belgravia Leisure is very excited to be partnering with Mornington Peninsula Shire and we look forward to working with the local team in expanding upon the current programs and services,” Mr Cox said in a statement. “We will work with existing members, user groups and community organisations to plan and deliver a range of new and exciting aquatic and fitness programs. In particular, our focus will be on increasing access for people of all ages and abilities. “Belgravia Leisure will maintain existing memberships and bookings, with no changes to current programs, services or operational hours. We are confident that through additional programming significant benefits will flow through to the community.” Belgravia Leisure was founded in 1990 by current chairman Geoff Lord, a former president of Hawthorn Football Club and Melbourne Victory, and employs more than 4500 people across leisure centres managed in partnership with state governments and councils. In May this year The News revealed Peninsula Leisure Pty Ltd, a Frankston Council owned company, and Belgra-

via Leisure had spoken to the shire about managing peninsula sports and leisure centres. Frankston councillors subsequently voted to restrict Peninsula Leisure’s operations to the two Frankston swimming centres amid concerns about “financial risks” to Frankston ratepayers through “empire building”. The door was left open for Peninsula Leisure to present a business plan to operate other sports centres within the Frankston municipality. Peninsula Leisure operates the Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC) in Frankston and the Pines Forest Aquatic Centre in Frankston North. A 7-2 majority of shire councillors voted to award a five-year contract to Belgravia Leisure at this month’s council meeting on Tuesday 12 September. The decision was discussed in private after the public council meeting for commercial-in-confidence reasons. Crs Colomb, Rosie Clark, Bryan Payne, Hugh Fraser, Frank Martin, Simon Brooks and Antonella Celi voted in favour of the awarding of the contract. Crs Kate Roper and David Gill voted against the deal. The only sports centre to remain under council management after October will be the Somerville Recreation & Community Centre. The stadium that houses basketball courts was severely fire damaged and closed to the public in May 2016.

Trip of firsts for netballers THE outlook was certainly different for a group of girl netballers who arrived in Sorrento last week. Although well into spring, the continuing wintery weather that greeted them was a far cry from that of their home in the remote Northern Territory community of Ngukurr. The 10 girls – aged nine to 13 – experienced their first plane trip, rode in a gondola to the top of Arthurs Seat and then crossed Port Phillip on the ferry from Sorrento to Queenscliff.

The group’s trip was arranged by Georgia Croad, of Sorrento, who has been teaching at Ngukurr for the past year. Along with her friend Zoe Grayson, Ms Croad started the netball team to give the girls something to focus on. Government grants and internet fundraising contributed towards the cost of the four-day trip, which included playing at Sorrento Netball Club and visiting Sorrento and St Joseph’s primary schools.

Ngukurr, 636 kilometres southeast of Darwin, is on the banks of the Roper River in southern Arnhem Land with a population of about 1100. Ms Croad, 27, has been in the territory for about three years and has previously worked in Cambodia. As well as sampling the various modes of transport on the peninsula a highlight for the netball girls was lunch at Sorrento beach. Keith Platt

Isolation a problem at parks, villages A SURVEY aimed at gaining a greater understanding of the caravan park and residential villages’ population on the Mornington Peninsula found that 63 per cent are aged over 70, most are single women, and nearly 90 per cent rely on the age pension as their main source of income. The survey was compiled by the Peninsula Residential Parks and Villages Group and focus groups convened in April and August. Responses were received by 164 of the 600 residents at four core parks: Peninsula Parklands, Hastings, which has 220 permanent residents; Mornington Gardens, Mornington, (also 220); Dromana Holiday Village (80); and Peninsula Holiday Park, Dromana (40). The survey found that social isolation was an issue and that the “perceived responsibilities of management to residents was minimal at best”. The organisers admit that the outcomes of the survey are “somewhat limited” as they were unable to engage with residents at all of the shire’s 42 diverse parks and villages. The aim of the survey was to improve the standards and quality of living in residential parks and villages by speaking with residents, identifying primary areas of concern and developing strategies for advocacy and action around those issues identified. The outcomes will help guide the shire’s strategic planning and goal setting for permanent residents living in parks and villages. About 40 per cent of residents were deemed “not fully aware of their legislative rights and responsibilities” and that there was confusion over the nature and length of leases. Access to public transport was found to be a “critical issue for an ageing community”. Two thirds said they had “no access” to public

transport, which presents difficulties, especially for the elderly when shopping or attending medical appointments – and more expensive if they have to order taxis. Support for the survey came from Mornington Peninsula Shire and the Housing and Aged Action Group, who acknowledge that caravan parks and residential villages have become a “significant form of housing on the peninsula for an estimated 1000 residents”. The parks provide increasingly important security of tenure for older people in an “era of decreasing housing affordability”. Some cater solely for holiday-makers and not permanent residents, while others cater to “annuals” who own or rent a cabin and can stay in it for a specified number of days each year. The “most recent” trend is towards the purpose-built residential village for permanent residents aged over 55. Mixed-use parks housing permanent residents and holiday-makers are said to be the norm on the peninsula, with 98 per cent of respondents identifying as owners or renters. The survey found almost half of residents (48 per cent) are aged 70-80 years with another 15 per cent aged 80 and over. Singles comprise 58 per cent of residents of which two-thirds are women; couples make up 38 per cent and 2.5 per cent are living with children. Most park residents stay an average seven years although eight had lived in their park for more than 20 years and one for 31 years. Most relinquish their lease when they die, making the plausibility of a 99-year lease debatable. The survey concluded that fees paid within some of the parks “requires further investigation” Stephen Taylor

Two awards for townhouse A MT MARTHA-based builder has won two Housing Industry Association awards for Best Townhouse/Villa Development and Townhouse of the Year. The awards were for two adjoining townhouses on the Esplanade, Mornington, opposite Mills Beach. The 2017 HIA Eastern Victorian Awards were presented at the RACV Resort, Inverloch, Friday 8 September. Builder Craig McPhan did his apprenticeship with a Dromana builder 36 years ago and worked for various builders on the Mornington Peninsula before starting Individual Builders about 20 years ago. The company has previously

won five HIA awards. “We are local builders based in Mt Martha and have been building on the peninsula since 1985,” Mr McPhan said. “Most of our work has been in the Portsea and Sorrento areas with quite a few homes between Mornington and there.” Mr McPhan said the awards were a “joint effort”. “Our site foreman Michael Brady ran the project and did a fantastic job,” he said. “The team works well and that is the reason we get so much repeat work. We establish relationships with our clients and they stay with us.”

State sets up council watch THE arrival of a state government appointed monitor to oversee Frankston Council operations has not yet been finalised. Labor Local Government Minister Marlene Kairouz said the government has not yet decided the duration of the monitor’s stay in Frankston. The state government announced last Sunday (10 September) that a monitor will attend council meetings amid concerns about councillor “infighting” in recent months. “We have concerns about the conduct and proper functioning of Frankston Council – that’s why we are appointing a monitor,” Ms Kaiouz said last week. “The monitor will report back to the government on how the Frankston Council is operating and give assistance where required.” Ms Kairouz succeeded Natalie Hutchins as Local Government Minister in a state cabinet reshuffle last Wednesday. The Minister can sack councillors and send in government administrators to run council at the recommendation of the monitor. Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial revealed he and council CEO Dennis Hovenden spoke to the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate to “raise concerns” about “good governance” at council. Frankston ratepayers will pay the bill for the monitor who is expected to track council’s performance for at least three months. A monitor called in to Casey Council last year cost about $1200 each day. The monitor at Casey found no trigger to sack the council. Neil Walker

Suicide rising for older men Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au WHILE men aged over 85 have one of the highest suicide rates in Australia they are often overlooked in the fight against suicide. This lack of attention and help is due to “ageism” and a lack of community support, according to Mornington-based Mentis Assist. The organisation which provides opportunities for people living with mental illness based its conclusion on the results of a 2014 statistics study. “Life events commonly associated with elderly suicide include the death of a loved one, physical and mental illness, cognitive impairment, unmanageable pain, fear of dying, loneliness and major changes in roles, such as retirement,” Mentis Assist CEO Terry Palioportas said last week, which included Suicide Prevention Day and R U Okay? Day. “Social isolation or a lack of social supports has been found to be a contributing factor in the lives of some elderly men, leading to a decline in life skills, poor eating habits and even substance abuse,” Mr Palioportas said. “After retirement, a significant number of men feel a sense of worthlessness or hopelessness leading to feelings of depression or overwhelming anxiety. “Historically, older men have often been conditioned not to acknowledge their feelings from as far back as their childhood and, therefore, see no way of expressing their fears.

are often afraid of being a burden to others.” Mr Palioportas said social groups were a “great way to remain socially active and can help to encourage older men to get together with others with similar interests”. “Groups provide an opportunity to participate in age-related programs, including health and physical activ-

ity, cognitive stimulation, emotional wellbeing and a wide variety of social inclusion programs, as well as getting together for meals,” he said. Mentis Assist provides access and support workers who can assist with accessing local services in the area, including specialised planned activity groups. The service received the Age

Friendly Local Business Award at the recent Mornington Peninsula Delys Sargeant Age-Friendly Awards for its contributions towards creating a supportive community for older people on the Mornington Peninsula. Those struggling with thoughts of depression or suicide can call Lifeline 13 11 14.

Seawall work to start

WORKS to protect the ageing seawall at Mt Martha’s Craigie beach will begin this month. The 240-metre rock revetment will be built by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), in partnership with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. The department said the rock revetment would ensure the whole of the seawall was protected against future storm events. “Last year a 97-metre rock revetment was constructed and this 240-metre section completes the protection works,” Eastern Region MP Daniel Mulino said. “The stone seawall is thought to be at least 50 years old and is nearing the end of its life. It was designed to protect the cliff faces from large,

powerful waves which, over time, can erode the cliffs and compromise the road, walking trails, and assets above.” Over the past decade sections of rock were placed in front of the seawall to absorb wave energy. The department said this had been effective. The new works will extend the rock revetment to absorb wave energy and reduce the impact on the seawall. The works will take about six weeks, depending on weather and tides. The area behind the seawall and sections of the walking paths in the area will be closed during working hours, 7am-5pm, Monday to Friday. Visitors have been asked to observe safety signs and directions.

Australian Hearing Rosebud celebrates the 2017 Victorian Seniors Festival AUSTRALIAN Hearing is celebrating the Victorian Seniors Festival, which will run throughout October, by hosting a free hearing check at Rosebud Memorial Hall as part of their Healthy Ageing event.

Nici Glyde of Australian Hearing Rosebud explained why the Victorian Seniors Festival was a great time to get your hearing in order. “At Australian Hearing we encourage seniors to be proactive about their hearing health and check for any hearing loss, or alternatively discover their hearing is fine,” said Nici. “A

hearing check is a quick and easy way to measure the sounds you can and can’t hear. Our team will also be on hand to guide you through what next steps you may have to take in regards to your hearing.” The Victorian Seniors Festival is an established and effective platform to engage active, social and independent seniors. During this annual festival there are hundreds of free and discounted events across Victoria to inspire seniors to eat well, stay active and connect with their local community.

We have the latest technology available to help in all situations such as helping you hear the TV, doorbell, smoke alarm and telephones. Come along for a free demo, hearing check and a chat. In Australia, 90% of vision loss is avoidable or treatable, if detected early. Regular eye tests are critical for early detection and treatment of eye conditions as most eye conditions have no noticeable symptoms in the early stages. The risk of developing an eye condition becomes much more common as people enter their forties. Regular eye tests can mean the difference between preserving and losing sight. The Vision Initiative is working with partner organisations to raise eye health and vision care awareness. Information and education on latest visual aids will be available.

Our nurses will be able to offer visitors information regarding what to look for, preventatives, and how to keep your skin safe. We will also provide information about our clinic, and how we can help. We have a door prize available to attendees for one free mole map valued at $170.

Agri-plan needed to save green wedge Mornington Peninsula Shire is 70 per cent agricultural land and has been called one of Victoria’s food bowls, a food bowl which is currently mainly fallow and unproductive due to a lack of water and inadequate town planning (“Hot springs denied on green wedge grounds” The News 12/9/17). The decline in inter-generational job prospects has coincided with the decline in agricultural output in this area over the past 30 years. Unless there’s a long term plan for agriculture and horticulture to be made viable, this land will go the way of the rest of Melbourne’s green wedges - split up and overwhelmed by McMansions. Farms on the peninsula are largely underworked and, contrary to what many believe, two horses and a goat does not a farm make; running one cow on an acre is not good use of prime agricultural land. If we lock up these green wedges they will turn to weed. Besides, someone owns this land and has to pay substantial land rates and needs to generate an income from that land to make it viable. This needs council and the state government to step in and develop a viable long term plan for the proper use of the land and not leave this to junior council planners to sort out. Currently there are 350 megalitres a day of perfectly grade-A treated waste water being dumped to sea. This wasted water should be diverted to these agricultural areas to help develop a thriving industry close to Melbourne and reduce food miles. The local TAFE colleges could train the necessary labour force, ensuring jobs and careers for future generations and to help lift many people out of the poverty trap. And all this while protecting our green wedges and our local food bowl. If the current state government won’t step up, hopefully the next government will. Christine Fry, Blairgowrie

Moving times When hearing about the intention of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s CEO Carl Cowie to open to corporate offices in Melbourne, I had to look at my calendar. But no, it’s not 1 April. It seems our trusty council officers find the daily trip to work somewhat challenging. When we still had some of our sadly departed planning staff from times before, corporate hatchet men took over at our shire; staff were content to work locally for the local community. We all had great expectations when the present CEO took over, but sadly we found out that it’s very challenging to actually get some work done. So my advice to all the travel-averse-outof-town planners would be, find another job, somewhere you would actually like to live. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Congratulations council The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is to be congratulated on the new cattery at the Mornington pound. After years of substandard accommodation and care of the cats in the pound, it is very pleasing to see this new centre built and now operating. The council is also working actively with over 50 rescue groups who help spread the load of finding new loving homes for the animals that come through the pound. Peninsula Cat Rescue was at the forefront of pushing for change and we would like to thank the mayor Cr Bev Colomb for listening to our pleas for a better facility and care of cats and kittens. Joy Herring, president Peninsula Cat Rescue

must be obtained every six months from a physician. With more than 1.2 million people registered with the National Diabetes Services Scheme and a rebate of $37 for each visit the Health Minister [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt has added $90 million to health care costs. One has to wonder about the absurdity of this as there are no associated benefits. This will cause no reduction in the costs associated with test strips as those who need them will continue to and will simply go to a bulk bill physician to get authorisation (as I do, which has added $74 to the governments cost). So what is the purpose? What is the benefit? Next we will hear of the rising costs of health care and the need to charge more for doctor visits and scripts and maybe even a $90 million cut to services. How about getting bureaucratic costs out of the system for a change rather than adding them? Joe Lenzo,Safety Beach

Farm rescue Really, I can’t see why mega rich media mogul Rupert Murdoch can’t, or won’t, chip in as Dame Elisabeth’s son and totally come to the rescue of her beloved Cruden farm with all its money woes (“Cruden Farm homes plan on the outer” The Times 4/9/17). Where’s Rupert Murdoch in all this? Sharon Bayer, Frankston

Signature issue The response to the Peninsula Speaks planning law changes petition has been heartening. The seriousness of the threat to the Mornington Peninsula is galvanising the community to act. Thousands have already committed their names, many have volunteered as foot soldiers for letterbox drops and community groups and individuals have been spreading the word. Their efforts need praise and recognition. Our aim is to submit 1000 plus signatures for each of the nine sitting weeks of state parliament until it rises mid December. So far we are on track to achieve the goal, but we need everyone to get involved. If you are able to assist in anyway including petition distribution and signature collection, please get in contact info@peninsulaspeaks.org.au.

The power of one

Men miss out Georgie Harman CEO ‘Beyond Blue” wrote in September about the national calamity that is suicide, saying ”eight Australians take their lives each day”. They are Melbourne University figures and show 77 per cent are male. Male suicide and other men’s issues can be addressed in other ways but are not because men have allowed them themselves to become under represented in the realm of things. Suicide is a permanent solution to most often a temporary problem. Many men, especially in the critical 35 to 45 age group, may do something radical in the face of painful stressors because they are socialised to be men of action. Unfortunately, the massive funding as a consequence of family violence has not factored men in at all. Men need refuges too, and suggesting critical “outreach” as well to men whose profile shows what might happen. Many men will continue to take things into their own hands unless approaches other than those available are thought of as the solution, not the final one, which is so often absolutely unnecessary. Remember, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem and can be reduced by practical approaches not theoretical. Tony Nicholl, Mt Eliza, facilitator Dads in Distress, Parents Beyond Breakup

a metal pylon by a passing UFO. Both the rock and the pylon have about as little visual appeal as could possibly be imagined. A more appropriate title for this monstrosity might have been “A pile of crap”. And to think that our tollway money helps to pay for this sort of stuff. Michael Long, Frankston

Tollway ‘art’ In 2011, when Southern Way funded the rusty ram’s head known by the fancy title “Rex Australis” and installed it beside the Skye Rd exit from Peninsula Link, I expressed the opinion that it was hideous. I notice that in 2017 Southern Way has outdone the ugliness of that piece by inflicting upon us as its replacement something called “Iconoclast”, which resembles a large, nondescript piece of meteorite which has been dropped onto

What a mish mash of insanity,political and economic ideology, greed and profits our electricity supply has become. A foreign owned company shuts down [Victoria’s] Hazelwood power station and another company wants to shut down the Liddell power station [in NSW]. Back in my memory striking unionists were threatened with jail under the Essential Services Act for effectively doing the same. We are exporting gas and mountains of coal to be burnt elsewhere on the planet but we cannot create electricity here by using a little bit of it. Isn’t this class A madness? Even our mountains of exported iron ore needs to be smelted,creating massive carbon emissions.But it is making steel. No wonder the thinking classes are voting for someone, anyone, other than the inept, stupid politicians running and ruining this country. For the sake of sanity and stability build two or more replacement power stations fuelled by coal or gas. Stop subsiding wind, solar and (ha ha) giant batteries. At the end of this century, the 28 billion people on this planet, all on cheap nuclear power, will laugh at us and our state-sponsored carbon theory religion. Above all else, get the parasites out of the system: Distributors, wholesalers and retailers, each returning a (compounding) profit to their shareholders, all manipulating prices and fees according to “market forces”, as if electricity was real estate. None of them are interested in maintenance or service unless forced to. Look at the high voltage transmission pylons in South Australia that fell over in high winds. Get them all out of it. Generate the power and deliver it to our door with one entity like it used to be and must be again. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Alexander Nicholson survives a snake bite Compiled by Cameron McCullough A CASE of snakebite occurred at Frankston on Wednesday afternoon, the victim being a school boy named Alexander Nicholson. It appears that he, in company with other lads, was going through some scrub at the back of the school grounds when he felt what at first he thought was a thorn prick him on the knee. Later on he began to feel sick, and the head teacher was informed. On examination two distinct punctures were seen, and Mr Jennings at once tied a ligature above the marks, cut an incision each side and sucked the wound. The lad was then taken to Dr Maxwell’s who gave what further aid was necessary to counteract the poison, and he has now quite recovered. *** AN American Tea and Jumble Fair will be held in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday afternoon and evening next, in aid of the funds of St Paul’s Church of England. *** THE Hon. Secretary of the Wattle Club begs to acknowledge the receipt of a donation of tobacco and cigarettes from Mrs Mann, “Harbury”, Frankston, for the benefit of returned wounded soldiers. *** WE regret to learn that there is no improvement in Mr Reynold’s health. He is at present in St Pancras hospital. Mrs Reynolds wishes us to state that she will carry on the business of selling the boots during Mr Reynolds illness, and Mr Wood has kindly

offered to look after the billiard room from whom the key can be obtained. *** WORD was received last week from the Defence Department by Mr D. P. Cain of Frankston that his son Pte Walter J. Cain was killed in action on 19th July 1916. The letter also contained condolence from the King, Queen and Commonwealth. Pte Cain was a general favorite in Frankston and identified himself with the church choir and was an enthusiastic footballer. The many friends of Mr Cain deeply sympathise with him in his sad loss. *** ON Tuesday 25th to Saturday 29th Sept., 1917 the 7.32am train from Mornington will leave Frankston at 8.14am (instead of 8.19am) and run non-stop to Mordialloc leaving Mordialloc at 8.32am (instead of 8.46) stopping only at Caulfield, thence express to Melbourne arriving 9.10am. On these dates extra train will leave Frankston at 8.19am, taking up the ordinary running of the 7.32am ex Mornington and stopping at usual station for latter train. Carrum depart 8.31; Mordialloc, 8.46; arrive Melbourne 9.28. *** ATTENTION is directed to the advertisement of the Commonwealth Government asking for applications for participation in the £20,000,000 4½ per cent War Loan, 1927, for war purposes only. Bonds will be issued in amounts of £10, £50, £100, £500. and £1000,

payable to bearer. Interest is payable half yearly is free of State and Commonwealth income tax, and is payable free of exchange at any bank or State Savings Bank. Applications accompanied by a deposit of £10 per cent, will be received at any branch of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia or any bank, State Savings Bank, Money, Order Post Office, or through any member of a recognised Stock Exchange. Instalments payable similarly. Subscription list closes 2nd November. *** Mrs Barclay, of Osborne House, Frankston, has received the following sympathetic letter from General Birdwood in reply to one sent by her, inquiring the reason why her son Pte. H. W. T. Andrews had not had the usual leave of absence granted to men at the front. Private Andrews is the only surviving son of Mrs Barclay. He landed at Gallipoli on the 5th of May 1915, and was at the evacuation when he was afterwards sent to France, where he was wounded. He has never had a day’s leave till that granted on 18th May, 1917. 1st Anzac Corps, France, 3rd August, 1917. Dear Mrs Barclay, On receipt of your letter, I immediately made inquiries regarding your son in our 9th battalion, and I am glad to be able to tell you that he is with the regiment and in good health. I quite agree in all you say as regards his having deserved a rest, and you will be pleased to know that

he had leave to England on the 18th May. This would have been granted him earlier, but he happened to be in hospital when his turn became due. As you can imagine, all our men much appreciate and look forward to their ten days in England, and I only wish it were possible to give them longer leave. I am glad to say, however, that my men have recently had about two months complete rest from the trenches during nice warm weather, and the health and spirits of all are excellent. I can fully enter into your feelings of anxiety regarding your only son, of whom you can rightly be proud, in the knowledge that he willingly answered the call of the Empire, and with his comrades has displayed so much gallantry and self sacrifice in the cause of justice and freedom. I sincerely trust that he will be spared to return to you in safety and with honor when we have finally defeated our enemies, And with kind regards. Yours sincerely, W. V. BIRDWOOD. *** Echoes from the Front. WHERE ARE THE BOYS WE KNOW! France, 1/6/17. Dear Macdonald,—Your letter of 4th April to hand which I was very pleased to receive. You may have heard that I left the battalion shortly after you and since then my mail has been following me all round the place. I was away two months altogether and am now back again, fit as a fiddle, with my ankle certainly weak,

but not too bad at all. I tried to locate you while I was in England and hoped that you would have been at the 3rd London General where I was. Quite likely, however, your place was far nicer, and certainly hope so. You needn’t worry about Heatly, he is quite alright and was sitting tight in a shell hole all that trying time. Remember me to Cpl. Mace if he is still there, I hope you will both be soon fit and well, and yet, when you are, I suppose you’ll have to buckle into harness again, and I know after a “Blighty” that’s not the nicest prospect in the world. I suppose you have been told that the O.C. put your stunt in as a V.C. one, anyhow I am right glad to know you got the D.C.M., and none knows better than I you deserve it, and I heartily congratulate you. I am at present acting O.C. “D” Company, as Cpt Harriott is away in England on leave. We are having a very good time, as we have been billeted in a French village ever since we joined up, which is over a fortnight ago. We are having splendid weather here and the country is looking fine. Major James is acting O.C., and Col Watson is acting Brigadier. We have quite a lot of new officers whom you may not know when you rejoin. Good luck and au revoir. Yours truly, J O. SEALBBOOK. Lieut. “D” Company, *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 September 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Wedding Singer For Rent – Has Own Transport and Shoes By Stuart McCullough THIS is a first for me. Never before have I been asked to participate in a Postal Survey. I did once get embroiled in the Napisan Challenge, but that was more a ‘whiter than white’ rather than a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ kind of thing. And despite my best efforts to remove stubborn household stains, my use of a domestic-strength cleaning product failed to result in any major legislative amendment. That I know of. Worse still, I strongly suspect my involvement made little difference to the overall result. I’ve always had strong opinions, but I’ve not always had the right vehicle to express them. I did, for a time, own a Daihatsu Charade. Sadly, it was barely the right vehicle to get to the shops and back and certainly wasn’t much of a vehicle to express my opinions. Indeed, the only things my bile-green sedan communicated to the world at large were that I didn’t have much money and, quite possibly, was colour-blind. But owning a car that guaranteed my social ostracism was not enough for me. I felt the overwhelmingly misguided need to express myself through other means. I’ve always been a big believer in writing letters to the newspaper. Back when such things required thought, contemplation and a whole lot of Liquid Paper, I’d fire off a missive to one of our major metropolitan dailies from time to time. As I recall, somewhere about Year 10 I took great umbrage when Angus Young from AC/ DC appeared to pledge himself to the service of Satan. At the time, I took a dim view of anyone who declared allegiance to the Dark Lord. With the

PAGE 42

benefit of hindsight if not middle age, I suspect his tongue was firmly in his cheek, even as my fingers were rattling against the keys of my Remington Travel-Riter Deluxe typewriter.

Southern Peninsula News 19 September 2017

I had neither an AC/DC record nor a sense of humour then. That I’m something of a ferocious correspondent should come as no surprise. It’s a trait I’ve inherited. My

father has been responsible for more than his fair share of letters over the years. But whereas my epistles have generally been directed to the Editor’s desk, my father was more ambitious. When he purchased a Nissan E-20, he was deeply unsatisfied with the vehicle’s performance. (I barely remember it, but I suspect the E-20 wasn’t a patch on spleen-green Daihatsu Charade.) Unable to get a satisfactory response from the head of Nissan in Australia, my father chose to dramatically escalate his dispute by writing directly to Emperor Hirohito of Japan. To this day, my father will remark that the Emperor didn’t even have the decency to reply. There have been other times since when I’ve built up a head of steam and seen fit to express my opinion wildly and with great passion. Often, I’ve cared little about what collateral damage might be caused. Even worse, there was a time I believed the best way to do this was in song form. When it comes to writing topical songs, the results can either been extremely clever or extremely painful. I was convinced I was clever. Having listened back to some of those old recordings, I am now prepared to accept that these musical diatribes were not so much painful as they were an affront to humanity. That few people ever got to hear those songs seemed, then, to be an injustice. Now I regard it as a fortuitous mercy for all involved. All things considered, it beggars belief that, long ago, I actually sang at several weddings. More amazing still is that none of those couples are divorced. Yet. But at a certain point, I stopped commit-

ting everything to song and started to express myself through that most unrequited of formats – the unpublished novel. That those outpourings failed to materialize into print is something for which I am now oddly grateful. For someone with opinions as strong as mine, the Internet has been a Godsend. Not only can I rabbit-on at length about anything that might tickle my fancy, I can communicate directly with those whom I hold responsible for any grievance I may hold. It is because of the Internet that Taylor Swift knows exactly how disappointed I am in her new single (It sounds like ‘My Humps’ by the Black Eyed Peas. Which is not, in any way, a compliment.) All of which brings us in a roundabout way to the upcoming and snappily-titled ‘Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey’. I’ll be voting ‘Yes’. This time there won’t be a need to express myself in song, letters to the editor or by posting witty comments on a website. A simple tick will be enough. I’ve heard the arguments both for and against a change but am strongly persuaded by the fact that same sex marriage – to the best of my knowledge – won’t be compulsory. Which means it’s a matter of letting other people live the lives they want to and having their relationships recognized under law. Which is fair enough. I wish those hoping for change all the best. In the event it gets up, I’ll even dust off the monkey suit and make myself available for weddings. Please note that although all those who’ve used my services to date are still married, I won’t be playing the new Taylor Swift song. Sorry. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

scoreboard SOUTHERN PENINSULA

Stonecats set new records PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW became the first team in more than 100 years of peninsula football to win four consecutive premierships on Sunday. The Stonecats totally outclassed Bonbeach, booting eight goals to one in the second quarter and 10 unanswered goals in the last quarter to win by more than 100 points, 21.11 (137) to 5.5 (35). Bonbeach led at quarter time, 2.0 (12) to 1.2 (8) and in fact outscored the opposition in two of the first three quarters. The problem was, Frankston YCW booted 18.8 to the Kars St end of Frankston Park in the second and last terms. Frankston YCW went into the match with the best defence in the competition, averaging just 9.2 goals per game against them. They smashed that in the big dance. Christian Ongarello blanketed Trent Dennis-Lane (three goals), while Byron Barry, Kevin Lylak, Anthony Barry, BJ Credlin and Craig Nankervis were absolutely dominant in the defensive end of the ground. Nankervis broke the league record last season with seven premierships. On Sunday he celebrated his eighth senior premiership and tenth overall at YCW, given he won an Under 18 and Reserves flag also. In the middle, 38-year-old manmountain Ash Eames needed to beat inform Bonbeach ruckman Dylan Jones to give YCW the upper hand – Eames dominated Jones and anyone else who went in the middle and was awarded the RPPFM Player of the Match. Macklin Raine, in his first season, made sure

Picture: Scott Memery

the ruck ascendancy wasn’t loss when Eames had a spell. This gave the likes of Scott McLeod, Tony Lester, Kyle Hutchison and Lachy Wallace first use of the footy – they executed perfectly whenever they got their hands on it. The only change to the second semi final team was Lachlan Williams replacing Angus Wright. Williams boot-

ed two majors and was terrific. Wright played in the Under 19s premiership and was awarded the BOG medal. On the outside, Matt LaFontaine was one of the best players on the ground and together with Jai Coghlan, Michael Debenham and Ryan Santon, they thrust the ball forward with consistent ease. Once in attack, the Stonecats looked unstoppable.

Josh Butland booted five goals to make it 51 for the season, Anthony Bruhn finished with four majors and Paul Minchington and Luke Paynter finished with a couple each. Riley Hodson made sure when the ball got inside the attacking arc, it wasn’t coming out – his pressure was enormous. Wayne Capp became a premiership coach in his debut season as the man

at the helm. His job this season, given the VFL-listed players in the team (11), cannot be underestimated. It’s nice to have them available, but rarely were they consistently. On the field, and off the field, Frankston YCW has been the benchmark for two decades – there was little reason to suggest on Sunday that that was going to change any time soon.

Sharks just too good in Nepean Grand Final NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SORRENTO capped off an outstanding 2017 MPNFL Nepean Division season on Saturday when it led all afternoon to beat Frankston Bombers by 14 points. Sorrento controlled the match on its terms for all but 15 minutes in the third quarter to win 13.5 (83) to 10.9 (69). Had Frankston Bombers got its nose in front in the third quarter, the result could have been different. However, as they did throughout the match, the Sharks had the right answers when it mattered most. Kicking with the aid of the wind to Frankston Park’s Kars St end, together with a parochial crowd riding them to an upset victory, Frankston really challenged in the ‘premiership quarter’ to bring the scoreboard to 56 to 49. One of many of Sorrento’s young, local, talented stars, Marcus Gardner, then booted his first goal for the afternoon and Chris Dawes booted his second to stretch the margin back out to 19 points at the last change. Coming home with the aid of the breeze, the Sharks kicked the first two goals of the final quarter, both by Nick Corp, to lock away the victory and yet another premiership cup. To its credit, Frankston continued to rally and booted the final three goals of the game – by then, it was far too late. Immediately after the match, exclusively to The News, premiership coach Troy Schwarze announced that “it was a great way to go out”. “I’m done Toey. It’s been a great season and today was a great day, but

Picture: Andrew Hurst

I’m shot and there’s no better way to retire,” Schwarze said. “It’s always tough to go into a grand final with the weight of expectation that you’re just going to win but the boys were just superb today. “We kept at our task, played the way we wanted, didn’t get unsettled and won the match,” Schwarze said. The coach was spot on. The difference between the two sides was skill execution.

Frankston Bombers continually looked rushed when in possession of the footy and turned the footy over countless times with poor execution by foot. Only Sam Fox and Ryan MarksLogan consistently used the footy well by foot, although skipper Mitch Bosward worked tirelessly. Adam Pasquill was also outstanding in the ruck, replacing the injured Ryan Kitchen. He certainly broke even with

Ryan Williams, who has been fantastic for the Sharks this season. Sorrento’s use of the footy was first class. Skipper James Hallahan was close to best on ground given his ability to win his own footy, break away from stoppages and hit up targets with deadly accuracy. On the receiving end of that more times than not was best on ground Leigh Poholke, who finished with six

goals. In the middle, Luke Tapscott was a bull while young stars in Zac Byrns, Shannon Gladman, Chad Harris, Jay Blair and Dan Hickey showed tremendous maturity and skill through the middle and around the ground. Leigh Treeby’s forward pressure, along with the agility and versatility of Jayden Tompkins and the leadership of Chris Dawes ensured that Sorrento converted a score from the majority of its forward entries. There has been a question mark on Sorrento’s defence all season, which is something that has always fascinated me. Daniel Grant is arguably the most skilful player by foot in the comp, Tyrren Head never loses a contest, Danny Stephenson uses the footy masterfully, Aaron Paxton is one of the most dour defenders in the competition, James Brigden is a team of the year full back and Ryan Potter and Nick Marsten can play tall or small – as a collective they were outstanding on Saturday. It was a great day for the Sorrento Football Club, given it won the Reserves Premiership against Rosebud 8.3 (51) to 5.12 (42). The Sharks led by six goals at half time but Rosebud booted four goals to one in the second half. In the Under 19s, Red Hill won its first ever Under 19s premiership, winning in extra time to beat Somerville 9.6 (60) to 7.6 (48).

The Goose returns to the kennel By Toe Punt AFTER almost a decade, Mornington Football Club’s favorite son Simon Goosey (pictured right) has returned to the kennel. Goosey, who coached the Doggies to eight grand finals and four premierships in the 1990’s and 2000’s, said the move back to the Dogs “feels right”. “I’ve always loved the Mornington footy club and my son (Will) still plays there, so it seemed like the right time to go back” Goosey said. ‘The Goose’ left the Dogs to “better himself” as a coach and moved to Frankston Dolphins in the VFL, where he also had a very successful career as a coach. “I didn’t leave Mornington because I didn’t want to be there, I moved be-

cause I wanted to become a better coach at a higher level,” Goosey said. “I always watched Mornington when I could and I’ve always taken a keen interest in the club, even in the past 10 years when I haven’t been involved. For the past three years, Goosey has coached in the SEFNL at Cranbourne, where he guided the club to the 2016 premiership. Cranbourne was bundled out in the Preliminary Final and the official announcement of his departure and appointment at Mornington was made last Wednesday. Goosey, who booted almost 2000 goals in his career at Richmond in the Under 19s, Geelong in the Reserves, Frankston Dolphins, Mornington and Dromana, will bring relevance back to the Mornington Football Club.

Club Football Manager Paul Garrett agreed. “There is a real buzz around the club with Simon’s return, which will help with the players, club officials, supporters and even the business community,” Garrett said. “We’re all very excited to have Simon back at Mornington,” Garrett said. Goosey believes that with a strong base of junior talent and a core group of top end talent, Mornington can be featuring in the finals again very soon. Dunne heads to Bulls In other coaching news, former Chelsea coach Brett Dunne has been appointed at Karingal Football Club for the next three years. Dunne was instrumental in rebuilding the Chelsea Football Club. When

he became senior coach, he had less than half a dozen players attend early pre-season sessions. A student and teacher of the game, Dunne has an amazing network of relationships throughout the football community and is the ideal fit for the Bulls. Dunne was also interviewed for the Red Hill and Langwarrin jobs but accepted the Karingal offer immediately. Crib Point has also announced that it is on the look-out for a senior coach, while Red Hill is tipped to make an announcement early this week. Langwarrin has been busy interviewing with a former MPNFL coach right in the mix, Nepean premiers Sorrento will now begin to work hard to find a coach, while Tyabb is also looking for a man to lead the charge.

Candy strikes gold, Southern faces prelim SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie CANDELA Ferreyra-Bas is the toast of local soccer after winning the 2017 NPLW Gold Medal at a gala awards night last week. Southern United’s captain and leading scorer was a runaway winner of the award which recognises the recipient as the premier performer in Victoria’s elite women’s competition. The 21-year-old polled 39 referees votes to street the field, 10 votes ahead of runner-up Cindy Lay of Calder United. It was a night of great celebration for the local club as senior coach Rob Giabardo was named NPLW Coach of the Year. Giabardo wasted little time in calling for co-coach Bill Mihaloudis to join him on stage during the presentation acknowledging their partnership which has steered Southern to the verge of finals participation after its last-placed finish in 2016, its inaugural year of competition. Mihaloudis is a former State junior coach and Ferreyra-Bas was in his Victorian squad at the 2010 national championships. “This is the best football I’ve seen Candy play since then and I knew halfway through the season if she continued in the way she was playing that she would be right up there. She was sensational,” said Mihaloudis. “She’s a true leader and an exceptional girl and this award will put the spotlight on her as far as W-league clubs are concerned.” Another Southern star in the spotlight is US import Mikhaila Bowden who is in the midst of a three-week trial with Melbourne Victory. However Southern’s championshipwinning under-13s suffered a setback last Saturday when they lost their qualifying final against Calder United 1-0 at Monterey Reserve. Calder pressured Southern early and Sofia Cheng found space on the right of the Southern area but shot straight at Southern keeper Cadence Vakacavu. Southern’s gun strikers Rhys McKenna and Candy Kilderry had chances in the space of a minute but couldn’t convert then Cheng struck a low inviting ball across the face of the Southern goal but there were no takers. Southern fans were dumbfounded in the 13th minute when Kilderry surged into the Calder area and was tripped but referee Jordan Vacouftsis waved play on. Southern’s best chance of the half was fashioned a minute later after a surging run down the left and a back post cross from Talia Palmer but Kilderry slid down in the soggy condi-

In the 18th minute Vakacavu played the ball out to Taylah Hennekam who was robbed by Calder striker Olivia De La Plaza-Sanchez whose shot flashed wide of the target with Vakacavu out of position. The pivotal moment in a gripping contest came 10 minutes into the second half. De La Plaza-Sanchez made a surging solo run then won a tackle which took her to just outside the Southern box before unleashing a high looping shot over Vakacavu and into the back of the net to break the deadlock. Slick interpassing between Kilderry, Alessandra Davis and Brianna Watson opened up the Calder defence in the 42nd minute but Watson shot wide. Three minutes from time McKenna sent a superb ball from the right in behind the Calder defence and although Kilderry was steaming in at the far post she couldn’t make effective contact and another chance went begging. The loss pitches Southern into a cutthroat preliminary final next weekend against local rival Bayside United which downed South Melbourne 3-1 in their elimination final. As we went to press Southern was waiting for confirmation from FFV

Southern Peninsula News 19 September 2017

that the match would take place at Monterey Reserve on Saturday morning. The winner will face Calder in the Grand Final on Sunday 1 October at a venue to be decided. Altona Magic made it back-toback Victorian State 1 titles when it defeated Langwarrin 3-0 at J.L. Murphy Reserve in Port Melbourne on Saturday. The match pitted the champion teams from State 1 South-East and State 1 North-West against each other. Langy central defender George Whiteoak made an early impression on Magic keeper Sebastien Bechaud when the big Englishman landed on Bechaud’s back and the keeper’s teammate Jon McShane did even more damage at the 20-minute mark when defending a corner and Bechaud had to be replaced by substitute Michael Stark. Magic had put the Langy defence under pressure before the enforced substitution with right-sided striker Jason Hayne shooting over from 10 metres in the 14th minute and young Langy keeper James Foster getting down bravely at the feet of Hayne in the 18th minute to smother well. Magic eventually prized open the

Langy defence in the 29th minute when James McGarry headed home from point blank range. Two minutes later ace Langy striker Liam Baxter had a golden opportunity to level after Magic lost possession at the back but curled his shot just over the bar. A defensive blunder in the 35th minute gifted possession to McShane who blasted over from the left side of the area and three minutes later a superb solo run by attacking midfielder Amadu Koroma ended with a shot straight at Foster who gathered cleanly. A brilliant long ball from Aaran Currie in the 42nd minute put Connor Belger through on a one-on-one with Stark but the Langy star couldn’t finish on his favoured left foot and Stark was able to parry. Belger returned the favour three minutes into the second half with a pinpoint cross from the left which Currie blasted over at the back post. Belger then sent Currie through in the 51st minute but the young Scot slammed a low shot against the upright and the ball was scrambled clear. Two minutes later Foster made a fine smother to deny McShane but was helpless as Magic went further ahead in the 56th minute.

Hayne motored clear on the right and his low cross was met first time by the incoming Melvin Becket at the near post for a tap-in to make it 2-0. A minute later Belger set up Langy midfielder John Guthrie whose shot was blocked and Foster effected a fine save to deny Ben Clarke shortly after. A defensive blunder in the 65th minute sent Magic substitute Adamson Ajayi clear but his shot was deflected for a corner and shortly after Langy subtitute Sergio Yanez shot over after Stark failed to gather a Belger cross. Magic substitute Festin Elmazi completed the scoreline in the 77th minute and six minutes into time added Belger passed to Baxter whose cheeky backheel set up Yanez but his close range shot sailed well over. It was the final attacking act of an open, flowing contest dominated by Magic which ran out a deserved victor. There were moments in the contest where Langy gave as good as it got and defender Nick Thorogood was superb. It also was the last match for a number of Langy players as the promoted club is only allowed two visa players in the NPL and senior coach Gus Macleod will have some tough decisions to make in coming weeks as he assembles his squad. The Lawton Park outfit’s preparations for its elevation to NPL status are in full swing and last week the club announced the appointment of former junior coach Stephen Fisher as technical director. Fisher has completed an AFC B licence coaching course and has been working in the NPL for the past few seasons. He is overseeing applications for suitably qualified coaches for the club’s junior teams from under-12 level to under-20s and trials for those teams will start next month as will preseason training for the seniors. In other news Peninsula Strikers have received five applications for their senior coaching position after advertising the post last week. Former player and ex-English professional Willie Raynes, who only took over as coach in the back half of the recently completed season, is one of the applicants. President Trevor Johnston will seek re-election at the club’s AGM. Johnston has retired from senior football along with veteran defender Troy Williams. This weekend: SATURDAY 10am: Southern Utd v Bayside Utd, NPLW Under-13 preliminary final at Monterey Reserve (to be confirmed).

Pitches set-up soccer club’s future By Ben Triandafillou THE Mt Eliza Soccer Club has seen continuous growth since starting out in 2008 and has begun to facilitate their uptake with a new set-up at Emil Madsen Reserve, Mt Eliza. Outgrowing their home at Howard Parker Reserve, the club has sought support from the shire over the past few years to establish a new set-up. The club now has two pitches currently up and running behind the Mt Eliza ‘Redlegs’ Football ovals which they started training and playing on early last month. President of the Mt Eliza Soccer Club Keith Doyle said the need for the new set-up has become more important especially over the last 15-18 months.

“We are quite a young club but we are gaining a lot of traction now,” Doyle said. “We had 34 teams playing this season, including two new girl’s teams. “We have gone to the next level and Emil Madsen Reserve has been an amazing addition.” Flood lights are set to be put in place over the Christmas period with plans for a third pitch to be developed. “We’ll be starting fresh next season and rearing to go with the new lights put in place,” he said. “The pitch’s drainage is spectacular. I’m sure the Mt Eliza Soccer Club will have one of the best facilities on the Mornington Peninsula.” A new pavilion with 4-5 sets of change rooms and a social area is also looking at being developed in the next few years.

Kicking goals: Mt Eliza Soccer Club’s Keith Doyle on one of the new soccer pitches.

Cadel driven by challenge By Ben Triandafillou GO KARTING talent Cadel Ambrose has concluded a thrilling season with a victory in the final round of the Australian kart championships on Sunday 3 September. The victory pushed nine-year-old Cadel into third place of the cadet-nine Australian kart championships overall standings. Taking to the track on Todd Road, Port Melbourne Cadel had to make up an 11 point difference in the fifth and final round to make it into the top three but the challenge just gave him more drive to succeed. “He was pretty excited heading into the final round,” Cadel’s mother Suzie Morrell said. “He was sitting in fourth place leading into it so he really had to perform well to make it into third place. “He keeps telling everyone now that “I’m the

third fastest in Australia”. He raced really well all weekend and he’s really happy with making into the top three.” Cadel, of Bittern, won round two at Geelong earlier this year and again stood at the top of the podium when awarded with a trophy for taking out the final event. The budding young driver was also awarded with the no. 3 go kart plate at the final presentation which was held at Etihad Stadium on the Sunday night. Cadel will now get to race a little faster next season as he moves into the cadet-12 category and the speed restrictor is removed from his go kart. “It gets a lot more competitive with much bigger fields in the older category,” Morrell said. “I’m a little nervous but he’s really looking forward to it and he’s just loving it at the moment.”

Netballers not thrown off by wet weather By Ben Triandafillou THE early showers couldn’t hold back the netball supporters from cheering on their teams at the Nepean Football Netball League grand finals on Saturday 9 September at Bunguyan Reserve, Tyabb. In the under-17s grand final Pearcedale overcame the wet conditions to break away late in the match to defeat Red Hill (33-27). In a rematch of last year’s grand final, Crib Point faced Tyabb in the A-grade grand final in much better conditions as the sky cleared up for the main event. Crib Point made the most of their opportunities and was able to seal the win in a fast paced game defeating Tyabb 43-29. Somerville got out to an early lead in the Bgrade grand final against Crib Point and never looked back to secure their victory 41-21.

It was a tight match in the C-grade grand final between Crib Point and Somerville and had to go into overtime to declare a winner. Crib Point emerged in overtime defeating Somerville by two goals (37-35). The D-grade grand final between Rye and Frankston was close throughout. It wasn’t until the fourth quarter when Rye stretched their lead to claim the victory (35-29). Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League operations manager, Haydn Parsons, said that there was a great crowd on the day despite the poor conditions in the morning. “The marquees provided some shelter early on for the supporters but as the day moved on the crowd just continued to build,” Parsons said. “There were plenty of Crib Point supporters on the day with their three teams playing in the grand finals.”
