Awards for Rye’s creative volunteers RYE Community Group Alliance has been awarded the $1000 Keep Victoria Beautiful Gift Fund prize for its project: A Clean Rye Protects Marine Life – Do the Right Thing.

President Mechelle Cheers said the campaign would run over the peak tourist period as a litter prevention strategy to keep marine debris out of the bay.

“It is targeted at tourists who leave behind huge amounts of plastic and other litter every summer,” she said. “We hope to highlight through the great work of Rye individuals and groups that, as a community, we value our coastal environment and expect visitors to do the same.”

The alliance has a draft concept for a mural by artist Josie Jones. It is working with Rye Primary School to complete the mural and have a competition for Do the right thing slogans which will be placed in prominent positions around the town.

Rye Community House and volunteers have won the Environmental Sustainability Award for Sustainability Sundays. It aims to bring the community together to make the southern end of the peninsula more eco-friendly. Sustainable Sundays combines the Southern Peninsula Repair Cafe, Rye Boomerang Bags, and Crop and Swap, Rye. Continued Page 6

Peninsula a ‘must-see’ for visitors Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE Mornington Peninsula is playing a big part in Victoria’s tourism boom.

Visitors – mainly from Melbourne and other parts of the country – spent 4.8 million nights on the peninsula last year, up 20 per cent on the previous year.

Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board chair Tracey Cooper said the figures reflected an increase in day and overnight trips, especially in the autumn and spring shoulder

seasons over the past five years.

The benefits were enhanced by the dispersal of visitors to second and third-tier attractions across the peninsula, which helped to spread the tourist dollar several ways.

The ease with which visitors can access the peninsula’s heartland on Peninsula Link, and the rise in top-tier attractions such as Jacalope and Pt Leo Estate, had helped cement the region as a tourist drawcard, she said.

Many businesses, such as Mocks Cider Orchard and Sunny Ridge strawberry farm, were adding value to their intrinsic appeal by enhancing their

Lawyers & Advisers

offerings: Mocks through dried apples and cider making, and Sunny Ridge by encouraging visitors to pick their own strawberries and buy strawberry wines and liquors.

While China is seen as a top source of visitors, more than 24 million Australian visitors came to Victoria last year making the state the “new kid on the block” in numerical terms.

Sydney attracted 27.65 million overnighters with Melbourne just behind on 27.12 million, according to Tourism Research Australia’s National Visitor Survey. The number of international visitors to the peninsula was up

3-4 per cent over the year.

Ms Cooper said the peninsula ranked third behind the Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island’s penguin parade in day-trip popularity, with 16 per cent of the total. She said most visitors were holiday makers or day visitors – often visiting friends on the peninsula – or those frequenting tourism drawcards, such as Peninsula Hot Springs, the Baths Restaurant, Arthurs Seat Maze, Rain, Hayne and Shine Farmyard, Moonlit Sanctuary, camping sites, beaches and golf courses.

The series of ocean liner visits to Mornington, which attracted publicity

when 1500 passengers descended onto Main Street, were really only novelty value compared to the seven million visitors the peninsula caters to each year.

“Our focus is on broadening what we have to offer and getting the word out to potential visitors,” Ms Cooper said.

“We aim to improve our seasonal management plans, such as in winter and during the week, and help small farmers add value to their products.

“This will increase the value of the tourist dollar which in turn will generate youth employment.”

Warning to let sleeping seals lie Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au STRICT regulations governing the safety of seals on bay beaches have prompted the Department of Environment, Lands, Water and Planning to warn members of the public not to get too close.

Senior wildlife officer Abby Smith said as summer approached some seals swam ashore after the breeding season.

“In Victoria, it is common to see Australian fur seals resting onshore. They are beautiful creatures and can look very placid when lying on a beach,” Ms Smith said.

“Despite their relaxed appearance, they are still wild animals. They will defend themselves if approached and can deliver a nasty bite.

“We’re really lucky to be able to observe seals in their environment, but it’s important to keep your distance.”

Ms Smith said beachgoers must keep 30 metres from a seal on land, and five metres from a seal on a man-made structure, such as a jetty or boat ramp. Dogs must be kept at least 50 metres away.

AGL Marine Response Unit coordinator Mark Keenan said seals often came ashore to rest and recover after long journeys. “We recommend that members of the community do not disturb seals on land and allow them the opportunity to rest,” Mr Keenan said.

The unit is the state’s first dedicated marine unit that responds to calls for assistance involving seals, turtles, dolphins and other marine wildlife in Victorian waters. The unit comprises staff from Zoos Victoria, DELWP and Parks Victoria and are authorised under the Wildlife Act to enforce the regulations.

“We rely on members of the public to act as our eyes and ears, reporting when they see injured or distressed marine wildlife on Victoria’s coastline, Mr Keenan said.

Counting fishes: Australian fur seal Arcto having a snooze on the beach after a long swim.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s acting manager environment protection Craig Murray said local laws officers would “respond to any attack on a seal as it is still considered a dog attack under the Domestic Animals Act 1994”.

He said officers would support the marine response unit “by informing them of any seals on beaches”.

He would not confirm that the shire would continue to erect signs and tape around a seal to prevent people getting too close, as it had done in the past.

Australian Wildlife Protection Council secre-

tary Eve Kelly wants to know how the shire will deal with off-leash dogs attacking seals if there were no volunteers on the beach watching the seal, no signs or barriers, and no shire staff.

“Will dogs on a leash approaching a seal be dealt with in the same manner?” she asked.

She said wildlife volunteers “who are called upon when seals come up on busy beaches, haven’t yet had a discussion with the shire about this issue”.

“Without us being heard there are misunderstandings and misconceptions about what we have been asking for help with, as well as the

problems facing both the seals and volunteers on busy days during the holidays.

“For example, we have been told that the shire thought we had expected seals to be minded by shire staff. This has never been the case and we have never indicated as such.”

Ms Kelly said if the shire stopped erecting signs and tying tape around a seal to prevent people breaching the 30-metre exclusion zone “the situation is going to be much worse than before, when it should have been made better”.

Anyone concerned about the welfare of a seal can call the marine response unit on 1300 245 678.

Live sheep exports unlikely source for children’s tale Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE horrific burning and drowning of more than 62,000 sheep seems an unlikely source of inspiration for a children’s book.

But the loss of the live sheep export ship the MV Uniceb in August 1996, gave freelance writer Sally Nowlan pause for thought: imagine being a sheep caught up in the live export trade?

Unlike the thousands of sheep that perished aboard the Uniceb six days into a 16-day voyage from Freemantle to Aqaba, Jordan, Nowlan’s tale does have a happy ending.

While Jumbucks Misadventure certainly carries a message about the “the wrongness of live export for such creatures”, it is not presented in any overt political fashion.

It is the story of a pet sheep, and friendships that develop between people and their animals.

“As a former sheep farmer I recognise that we are in a time of changing attitudes and greater awareness of farm animal welfare issues, like live export,” Nowlan, who now lives in Rosebud, says.

“I also believe that young readers need books that tell them what's going on in their world in an engaging and realistic way.”

Jumbuck’s plight - finding himself aboard a live export boat headed to the Middle East - is presented more as an adventure, albeit one that could have a disastrous ending.

He’s been a pet lamb and, of

AUTHOR Sally Nowlan has published her own “happy ending” children’s book about a pet lamb that is mistakenly included in a flock of sheep bound for the Middle East. Pictures: Supplied

course, ending up on a ship is all a big mistake.

Nolan describes Jumbucks Misadventure as “an engaging story with a basis in reality, aimed at informing young readers in an entertaining way about this very timely, animal welfare issue”.

As a pet, Jumbuck gets involved in many unsheep-like activities - opening gates, squeezing through fences and swimming with sheep dogs.

Things go wrong with this idyllic life when Jill has to go to boarding school and can’t keep an eye on her sometimes naughty pet.

Purely by accident Jumbuck is loaded onto a truck with sheep that have been sold for the live export market. After time in a feedlot, he finds himself on a ship headed to the Middle East.

The cruise is no picnic and only ends when the boat catches fire and

sinks. The enterprising Jumbuck makes it to a deserted island in the Maldives, where he’s adopted by Aju, who takes him back to his home island.

Unused to seeing such creatures on the island, Jumbuck attracts attention and eventually is put on the internet.

This exposure leads him back home to Jill, with the help of some Australian tourists.

At the subsequent reunion, Jill’s fa-

ther decides to never again sell sheep for live export.

Aimed at eight to 12 year olds, Jumbucks Misadventure is illustrated

by Maree Woolley.

“I wanted to share my extensive knowledge of sheep, farm life, and the live export trade in a positive way that would inform and engage this younger generation,” Nowlan says.

“I don’t preach about stopping live exports in the book, but the underlying message is that this cruel trade is not what we should be doing.

“By engaging young readers with the cheeky and nice character of Jumbuck I want them to learn that sheep are not just dumb farm animals.”

Nowlan chose the Maldives as Jumbuck’s landing place after a live export vet calculated that would be the place a sheep would end up if it survived a ship disaster in the Indian Ocean.

“I couldn’t find out much about the remote islands there – just the tourist resorts – so a travel agent friend arranged for me to go to the island of Rinbudhoo. It was perfect,” Nowlan says of her research.

“The characters in the book are real people – such as Faya, the school principal on the island - who plays a major role in Jumbuck’s story and Aju, who rescues Jumbuck. It allowed me to include some local culture and the geography of this remote place.”

The self-published (Portgirl Books) and self-marketed Jumbucks Misadventure is available at Farrells, Mornington; The Book Barn, Rosebud; and Petersons Bookstore, Hastings.

Open Air Burning October 2018 Removal of some restrictions on Open Air Burning for October 2018 Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Open Air Burning Local Law regulates burning off outside of the Declared Fire Danger Period.

In accordance with Clause 56 of the General Purposes Local Law 2012 – Part 7 Open Air Burning, Incinerators and Chimneys, notice is hereby given that for the month of October 2018 the Municipal Fire Prevention Officer has removed some restrictions on Open Air Burning to enable landowners to light a fire in the open air for fire prevention purposes.

The changes to the Open Air Burning Local Law for October 2018 removes the previous land size restrictions that prohibited Open Air Burning on land less than 1,500 square metres without a permit from Council.

Open Air Burning is permitted on Fridays and Saturdays between the hours of 9am and 4pm on land less than 1,500 square metres provided that: • No more than 1 cubic metre of vegetation is burnt at any one time, • The fire is not within 10 metres of any neighbouring dwelling, and • The General Fire Safety Provisions are followed at all times.

Current Open Air Burning regulations for land above 1,500 square metres and land above 40,000 square metres remain the same.

The removal of Open Air Burning restrictions on land of less than 1,500 square metres will come into effect on 1 October 2018 and expire on 31 October 2018.

Use recycled water in green wedge - Libs THE Liberal Nationals say they will conduct a feasibility study into a recycled water scheme to service Mornington Peninsula farmland if they win government at the Saturday 24 November election.

The study will examine whether the water can be used to supply farmers.

“With 70 per cent of the Mornington Peninsula zoned green wedge land, and with some of the best farmland in the state, it is crucial we have a long term plan to preserve and fully utilise this precious rural hinterland,” Liberal candidate for Nepean Russell Joseph said.

Melbourne Water reportedly daily discharges an average 350 million litres of Class A recycled water into Bass Strait from Boags Rocks, near Gunnamatta.

Mr Joseph is working with peninsula avocado farmer and agricultural scientist Steven Mar-

shall. He said the recycled water could be used for intensive horticulture as well as fighting fires.

“The use of recycled water should be examined to preserve our hinterland soil health and to keep dams filled so rainfall can again restore crucial environmental flows to our creeks without detriment to the ecology of our bays,” he said.

“A horticultural industry on Melbourne’s doorstep, underpinned by a drought proof water supply, would deliver an entirely green wedgecompatible industry and ensure the preservation of our green wedge farmland.

“This project looks well beyond our four-year election cycle and, should the feasibility study stack up, be a cornerstone to providing jobs and professional careers on the peninsula for decades to come.”

Crop Swap Rye aims to build community, reduce food waste and help its members eat better for less. The next Sustainability Sunday is 2-5pm, Sunday 18 November.

Seaside Scavenge, Rye was highly commended in the community government partnerships section of the awards.

Seaside Scavenge promotes marine debris awareness. Rubbish they collect is sorted and entered into an international marine debris database.

The success of its campaigns can be measured by the amount of rubbish collected. Last summer, over four hours, 270 volunteers collected 80 metres of fishing line from under the pier, 10,000 cigarette butts and 770kg of rubbish – “all left behind by visitors”, Ms Cheers said.

As well as cleaning Rye beach and foreshore, participants earn cashless currency which they trade for clothes or goods at Seaside Scavenge second-hand stalls. These attract a diverse range of clients. As well as community stalls scavenge organisers hold sculpture and repurposing/recycling workshops. Live music from local bands is a feature of the events.

The next seaside scavenge is on Sunday 13 January.

Coolart’s the place for counting on birds IT’S National Bird Week and Parks Victoria has nominated Coolart Homestead and Wetlands Reserve near Somers as among its top 10 places to watch birds.

Run by BirdLife Australia, the Aussie Backyard Bird Count is also under way throughout the country from 22-28 October.

Bird counts can be made anywhere, but must be made over a 20-minute period.

“Australia is home to some of the world’s most beautiful birds, often literally right in our own backyards and thanks to BirdLife Australia’s Aussie Backyard Bird Count we now have four years of data about their changing populations,” Australian Birdlife Magazine editor Sean Dooley said.

“The information we collect from the bird count each year not only shows how much Australians care about birds, but also provides clues to what’s happening with different bird species.”

Counts can be made at Coolart, which Parks Victoria says is “perfect for easy walks and spotting birds”.

The Observatory, below the main homestead overlooks the wetlands and provides a comfortable viewing position for birdwatching in all weathers.

More than 125 species of birds can be spotted at Coolart, from swamp hens and white ibis (also referred to as bin chickens) to kookaburras and magpies, and many species of ducks.

Crakes and rails can be seen from the wetland hides.

Parks Victoria’s manager science and management effectiveness Dr Mark Antos said there were “hun-

dreds of interesting birds” in the state’s parks which make up 18 per cent of its land mass.

“Parks Victoria manages important areas of habitat for native animals and plants, and we know that healthy

parks mean healthy plants, animals and people, and provide the best nature experiences for visitors,” Dr Antos said.

Joining Coolart in the top 10 parks are Point Cook Coastal Park; Kinglake

National Park; Serendip Sanctuary; Greater Bendigo National Park; Tyers Park; Barmah National Park; WarbyOvens National Park; Sale Common Nature Conservation Reserve; and Great Otway National Park.

To submit a bird count go to aussiebirdcount.org.au or for more information on Victoria’s parks and waterways call Parks Victoria on 13 1963 or visit www.parks.vic.gov.au.

The Boundary Road Project The stone resources at Hillview Drive Quarry are running out, Hillview Quarries is looking to recommence quarrying operations and access the adjoining resources at our Boundary Road Quarry site.

The Project Since 1969, Hillview Quarries has been operating the quarry in Hillview Quarry Drive, Dromana. This site is owned by the RE Ross Trust, as is the neighbouring quarry site with adjoining resources on Boundary Road.

The RE Ross Trust is a charitable trust which was established in Victoria in 1970 by the will of the late Roy Everard Ross. To-date, more than $113 million has been granted to organisations across Victoria and on the Mornington Peninsula, through the profits earned from quarrying.

Re-establishing quarrying operations at the Boundary Road site will generate the revenue needed to ensure the work of the RE Ross Trust continues well into the future. This is the aim of the Boundary Road Project.

Email us on: info@boundaryroad.com.au Call us on: 1300 407 690

An EES is required The Minister for Planning has directed that an Environmental Effects Statement (EES) be prepared for this project – an EES is the most rigorous government process for assessing projects in Victoria.

Over the next few years, a range of scientific, environmental and social studies will be completed. There will be ongoing consultation with the local community and feedback will be gathered from stakeholder organisations.

All of this information will be combined to form the EES which the government will use when making decisions about the future of the Boundary Road site. The EES is being managed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

Contact us It is early days; the project team will continue to provide information on the project website and through the media. Questions are welcomed; you can contact us using the details below and the team will be happy to speak with you about the project or ensure you receive regular updates.

Smith family walked the talk in marathon DYSTONIA sufferer Dave Smith has made good on his promise to raise money on the Brain Foundation-Dystonia Walk earlier this month.

He and daughters Ebony and Lisa, right, competed in the Melbourne Half Marathon walking the 21.1km to achieve his goal.

Mr Smith’s struggle with the condition and efforts to get into shape generated a positive message (“Walk aims to shake off debilitating disorder” The News 10/9/18).

“We started at 8am with all of the other competitors but it wasn’t long before we were walking by ourselves up St Kilda Road as the other competitors were running at a good pace,” Mr Smith said.

“We got to the nine kilometre mark and the drink station had packed up and I was struggling with the heat,” he said. “I asked if there were any drinks as I was about to say I had enough but, fortunately, a lady ran to her bag and got two bottles of water which was a lifesaver.

“We got through 10 kilometres in just under two hours so we were still going OK, but without my girls with me I would have given up by then. They kept encouraging me and telling me that all of the hard work that I had done would help.

“At the 14 kilometre mark we joined back up with the full marathon. I had perked up a bit as we now had others around us. Then, on the hill down St Kilda Road I knew that all the training would get us to the G.” Mr Smith praised the other participants for their encouragement. “When we got to the entrance of the hallowed turf it was all worthwhile – especially with my support crew decked out in their green Brain Foundation Dystonia gear.

“It made our final lap very memorable.”

Fundraising is open until Wednesday 14 November. “If people can spare a few dollars for Dave’s Dystonia Walk they can donate by hitting the Give Now button,” he said.

BETTER BUSES for the peninsula Did you know...

Out of the 30 Councils in the Melbourne Metro Area, Mornington Peninsula Shire has the second lowest provision of public transport?

This calls for change. The Shire, with its community, needs to voice current challenges being experienced by public transport users to the state government. We are calling on the state government to fund necessary upgrades to our public transport, including improvements to the 788 bus service.

Transport facts on the peninsula 7.6 million visitors annually and 82% of the peninsula is not serviced by public transport.

Over 50,000 residents over the age of 60, including real challenges with social isolation.

WOMEN on the Mornington Peninsula aged 55 years or older living by themselves are the subject of a research project that aims to improve their lives.

The project builds on the Bolton Clarke Research Institute’s work with older women living alone. It is being financed by the Felton Bequest and managed by Equity Trustees.

The institute assessed the barriers faced by older women in accessing services to maintain their independence and optimising their wellbeing.

It identified 10 “priority supports” that would help in these areas, such as help and assistance with tasks at home, volunteer drivers and exercise partners.

The institute will roll out those services on the peninsula, while receiving input from the Hastings, Rosebud and Dromana communities, and trialling the service in those areas.

Senior research fellow Dr Rajna Ogrin said older women faced “significant social and financial disadvantage” compared with men. “This negatively impacts on their physical, mental and social wellbeing, and is a particular problem for older women who live by themselves.”

“We will build on ideas developed in this earlier project. We will work with women 55-plus and people who might want to volunteer to help provide these services.”

Women aged over 55 who live by themselves and other volunteers are invited to share their ideas at upcoming sessions in Hastings, Rosebud and Dromana. Refreshments will be provided, as will transport to attend sessions, if needed.

College’s comfort kits help ease the pain A DONATION of 200 “comfort kits” from a class of year 12 VCAL students at Padua College, Mornington will help patients at Frankston Hospital’s emergency department.

The kits contain combs, toothbrushes, toothpaste, ear plugs, socks, eye masks, anti-bacterial wipes, pencils and Padua Puzzles, which members of the class created themselves.

Student and project manager Gus Gordon said the kits included common sense items: “When people come into the emergency department it often isn’t planned – so they might not have the basic things they need like a toothbrush and toothpaste.

“We wanted to do something to help the local community, so we decided to make the comfort kits for the hospital. We chose things for the packs that we thought we’d need, if we were in that situation.”

Over the course of the year, the students set about collecting donations for the packs and fundraising so they could buy other items needed.

“We had barbecues at school and hosted a Mother’s Day stall to raise money,” Gus said.

“Everyone in the class has played a big part in the project; it’s been great.”

Frankston emergency department nurse unit manager Elissa Rolland says the packs will make be big difference.

“We see around 220 presentations a day – this is a range of adults and kids who may have life- threatening, critical illnesses as well as less serious injuries, like a broken finger,” Ms Rolland said.

“We also see a lot of people experiencing homelessness who will benefit from receiving the packs.”

Ms Rolland thanked the students and teacher Deb Arrowsmith for their contribution. “This donation is absolutely amazing,” she said.

“The students have done a great job pulling this all together and we’re really pleased to have this great resource available to give to patients in the ED.”

Surf teams coming back for fun THE Maladiction Longboarders Club has again teamed up with the Disabled Surfers Association, Mornington Peninsula (DSAMP) for a fun surf competition to help finance surfing days at Point Leo for people with disabilities.

Last year’s inaugural contest saw 13 teams compete in costumes riding waves at The Pines, Shoreham.

This year’s competition will be held at the same beach from 10am on Saturday 10 November. Teams can be made up of either two or four surfers. Contestants are being encouraged to again wear costumes but

this year they can ride their own boards. “Crazy” surf moves will attract extra points.

Prizes include dinner for four at Stillwater, Crittenden Estate (donated by Peninsula Speech Pathology Services), wine from Crittenden Estate and Dromana Estate, beer from Jetty Road, surf packs from Trigger Brothers and Bass, and a Mick Pierce semi-gun surfboard with cover for the highest scoring ride.

Barbecue and refreshments will be available.

A ROSEBUD pest contractor was fined $4000 at Dromana Magistrates’ Court last week after pleading guilty to supplying 1080 bait to a farmer who not authorised to use it.

The court was told restricted chemicals such as 1080 can only be supplied to authorised users, but that the contractor gave the bait to a truffle farmer at Main Ridge to poison feral pigs.

Agriculture Victoria chemical standards officers raided the property in mid-2016 and seized two pails of the pig bait which the farmer said was supplied by the contractor.

He was fined $9500 after pleading guilty to using the products without a licence in December 2017.

Agriculture Victoria chemicals specialist Steven Field said suppliers of 1080 bait products had to be licensed and accredited, and could only supply products to authorised users.

“This applies not only to retailers and resellers but also baiting coordinators and even farmers themselves,” he said.

“1080 is an important tool to protect primary production and environmental assets. It is critical that continued access to these products is not jeopardised by the actions of rogue operators.”

Shire call to help stop the boats Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has admitted its needs state government “co-operation” to carry out its unilateral decision to fence off The Pillars cliff jumping site at Mt Martha and introduce a 200-metre no go zone for watercraft.

The government and Aboriginal Victoria last year ruled a fence out, but the mayor Cr Bryan Payne last week said the council’s 9 October decision was needed “to get some meaningful discussion and action underway”.

The boating ban had been included in council’s latest decision “as part of the strategy to limit increased dangerous activity at The Pillars” (“Fencing The Pillars for safety” The News 16/10/18).

“This is essential as it is a health and safety measure.”

Cr Payne said a water exclusion zone near The Pillars had been discussed last week with the Water Police, the agency which would be responsible for enforcing the ban.

“This is now on the agenda to be raised formally with both the government and Parks Victoria, who is the responsible authority,” he said.

“The council’s move to fence The Pillars is a response to public safety, legal advice and concern for local residents as well as visitors. It will require co-operation from the state government and its responsible authorities to be successful.”

With a state election on Saturday 24 November, Cr Payne said he was

THE Pillars, Mt Martha, attracts cliff jumpers, watchers and water craft of all shapes and sizes. Picture: Yanni

“confident that all political parties have a strong sense of importance related to public safety and the council looks forward to working with them to resolve the issue in the interest of the local and wider community as quickly as possible”.

However, Cr Payne has ruled out bans on other parts of the cliff area which extends from Mt Martha to safety Beach.

“The Pillars is a unique situation where people are risking their lives and injuries by jumping from the cliffs; this is different to fishermen and scuba divers going about their normal activity. Everyone around water needs to be aware of safety issues”

“The council has not been made aware of any issues related to fishermen or scuba divers.”

The Victoria Police website says the Water Police “has the primary role of coordinating all marine incidents involving recreational vessels, yachts, fishing vessels and commercial vessels in port.

“These incidents often involve overdue vessels, flare sightings, broken down boats, missing divers, injured crew members and distress calls.”

A public meeting to discuss The Pillars will be held 5.30pm–6.30pm Thursday 1 November at the Mornington Peninsula Shire offices, Queen Street, Mornington.

Cliff work ends, for now TEMPORARY works to protect cliffs at Mt Martha North Beach from erosion by the sea and the public from landslides have been finished.

If the work passes a “practical completion inspection” this week control of the beach will be handed back to Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Access to the beach and beach boxes was closed during the works contracted by the Department of Environment, Land, water and Planning (DELWP).

“The temporary works involved placing large rocks and a geotextile at the foot of the cliff to prevent high

tides from further eroding the bottom of the cliff, and to provide protection to the public from the collapsing cliff,” DELWP program manager planning approvals Cassandra Philippou said.

“The works will provide interim protection as the department plans for the long-term safety and stability of the cliff face.”

On Thursday last week there was effectively no sand in front of the beach boxes, forcing walkers to scramble around the back where the high tide lapped up against the rocks.

Supply concerns drive gas import ‘urgency’

By Kelly Parkinson

AGL’S Crib Point gas import jetty aims to help bring more affordable gas to Victoria, in a safe and environmentally responsible way.

From the start, we’ve been clear. We will follow all assessment requirements that are asked of us by the Victorian government and all regulatory bodies.

AGL has always been comfortable being held to these standards.

Our sense of urgency on this project has always been driven by concern for security of supply of gas for the years ahead.

As with all AGL projects, we take community consultation seriously.

Since announcing Crib Point as the preferred site we’ve undertaken extensive consultation with the local community, which has included 26 public meetings.

We know from these meetings that one over-

riding concern is about the potential marine impacts from the regasification process – using seawater to warm the very cold LNG. During this process the ship’s system, like a filtration system in a salt water swimming pool, produces a small amount of chlorine, being approximately 0.1 of a milligram a litre at the release point, from the seawater to keep the system clean.

Expert reports have demonstrated that when the water returns to Western Port it will break down to an undetectable level within 20 seconds.

In other words, the level of chlorine in the water that’s returned to the port would be significantly less than that allowed in our drinking water.

The seawater would also return to Western Port at about seven degrees cooler.

The expert reports also show that this will quickly mix back to within 0.3 degrees of the

environment by the time it reaches the seabed.

It will fully mix with the movements of the tide and is in line with daily temperature variations within Western Port.

What we have set out to do here is develop a project which has as little impact on the environment as possible. However, we understand that many in the community don’t consider that this is good enough.

While the expert reports show the chlorine breaks down very rapidly and the temperature differences quickly dissipate, we recognise this still concerns the community.

We fully recognise these concerns and the strongly held views about the unique environmental significance of Western Port.

The community have also made their concerns known to the government and they have been successful in making sure they are now assessed independently through an environmental effects

statement (EES) process.

There is also the possibility of using the ship’s cargo to warm the gas and not use any seawater, but this would increase the greenhouse gas emissions, which are also an environmental concern.

We believe this project is particularly important for Australian businesses, which need affordable and secure energy supply.

Already, we’ve seen support from ten large commercial and industrial customers who have signed MoUs (memorandum of understanding) regarding offtake agreements.

If approved, the Crib Point LNG import jetty will be a safe and environmentally responsible project, making gas supply for Victorians more secure and bringing much needed competition to place downward pressure on gas prices.

Have your say Southern Peninsula Traffic Investigation Mornington Peninsula Shire is investigating alternative traffic plans to using the southern peninsula freeway reserve to reduce traffic congestion.

Council is inviting ideas to start the discussion about southern peninsula transport issues and traffic congestion at its Forward Planning Committee Meeting at 7pm on 31 October 2018 at the Rosebud Shire Office Council Chamber.

The investigation looks at preliminary short, medium and long-term traffic congestion management ideas as alternatives to using the southern peninsula freeway reserve through the Tootgarook Wetlands.

This is a very early first step in working towards the peninsula’s long term integrated transport plan, and looking at that bigger social, economic and environmental picture.

Let’s get creative: Margaret Thompson and Maryanne MacPhee teach art at U3A Mornington.

Picture: Supplied

The investigation is being undertaken on the basis that further comprehensive impact studies and transport planning will be needed in collaboration with State agencies prior to any further development of any longer term arterial corridor options.

Exhibition shows art class results MORE than 200 paintings, drawings and sculptures, plus a roomful of beautiful craft pieces, helped attract a good-size crowd to U3A Mornington’s recent Art and Craft show.

Held over two days at the Currawong Community Centre it showcased the creativity of local ‘third-age’ artists and craftspeople. “Our students rose to the challenge and presented us with spectacular works of art in all manner of mediums, reflecting each artist’s individual talent and style,� tutor Margaret Thompson said.

More than a dozen art/craft classes run each year at U3A Mornington. Most are quickly filled

by members. A Drawing Wildlife in Pastels course has now been added.

There is also a self-help group where keen students pursue their own art practices with support from fellow students.

However, the demand for art tuition is such that U3A Mornington would like to hear from a local art or craft practitioner who’d like to volunteer as a new course tutor next year.

Enrolments for next year’s classes open on 23 January. New members may join at that time, either on the website or at the Currawong Street campus of U3A Mornington.

Details: U3AM office 5975 9773.

At the Forward Planning Committee Meeting, community members can make a three-minute verbal submission to the Shire about their thoughts and suggestions regarding the Southern Peninsula Traffic Investigation.

To register your interest to speak, contact the Shire: mornpen.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay 5950 1048 Council respects the diverse range of interests that may be represented during this consultation. We are determined to have a transparent and accountable process to explore all traffic options on the southern peninsula.

Action needed to avoid catastrophe Mornington Peninsula Shire Council recognises in its fire management plan that Arthurs Seat is an area of the peninsula most under threat of bushfire classed as “catastrophic in consequence.” (“Alarm over Fire Threat” The News 9/10/18). What is being done to mitigate this extreme fire risk?

Reference is made to the risk of death being heightened by the number of visitors to the peninsula, with evacuation hampered by narrow, bush-lined roads. Arthurs Seat attracts probably the largest concentration of tourists in the region, due to the Eagle gondola, the increasing popularity of the maze, walkers exploring the state park and constant through traffic - day trippers enjoying the circuit drive from the freeway, along Purves Road and up and down Arthurs Seat.

On busy summer days, cars are parked along these roads and pedestrians walk to the summit.

Residents have long lobbied council to remove or prune dead and overhanging trees on these roads. In the event of a catastrophic or extreme bushfire, there is a real danger that burning trees will fall across the only “escape routes”, rendering them impassable for those trying to evacuate and also for CFA firefighters. The resulting scenario of destruction and inevitable fatalities doesn’t bear thinking about.

We are experiencing a drier than average year with higher risk of bushfire this summer. There is now a greater population density in the area and more visitors than ever.

Council’s inaction is placing lives at risk. It is imperative that major clearing of overhanging and dead trees be undertaken now, before the summer months.

Serious consideration should also be given to closing the Eagle gondola and state park, not

only on Code Red days, but also on days of “extreme” fire danger. A small price to pay to avoid a catastrophe.

Jennifer Atkins, Arthurs Seat

No help there The council may well have plans for fighting fires, but it is surely better if a fire does not start in the first place.

Some months ago I contacted Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and asked why - if it has rules and regulations regarding vegetation density and fuel loads - it does not police these issue?

They asked if I wished to make an official complaint - no I didn’t. I only wished that some of my neighbours were made aware of their responsibilities and the danger their uncleared blocks represented to themselves and to others.

The result - zero action. So it seems the council only acts if it has someone to bully, intimidate and fine.

John Shorter, McCrae

One-off ramp permit Mornington Peninsula Shire Council supplies a boat ramp permit that covers Mornington, Fishermans Beach, Dromana, Rye, and Hastings.

The annual permit costs of $135, which allows the use of all boat ramps.

I only use the ramp at Fishermans Beach, Mornington, and I feel it is wrong that I have to pay to use the other ramps. Fishermans ramp can only be used with small boats as quite often tidal conditions stop the use of the ramp as there’s no water to launch or retrieve.

As a local rate paying resident and pensioner I feel there should be a concession available for people like me. I am sure that there are many

Ageing well on the Mornington Peninsula

locals like myself that only use the one ramp.

Fishermans Beach boat ramp was built about 60 plus years ago for the local people, and I guarantee then it was free for all to use. The only maintenance the council has ever done is occasional dredging.

A while back council put out a notice to users to put forward any suggestion to improve ramps.

I suggested there’s nowhere to tie up boats and no fish cleaning bench with water, as other municipal ramps have. Nothing was ever done by council.

Over many years of using boat ramps with a trailable yacht up the east coast of Australia I have never had to pay for any boat ramp. Places where I have used boat ramps include Cairns, Whitsundays, Gladstone, Bundaberg, Tin Can Bay, Mallacoota, Marlo, Gippsland Lakes and Port Albert. All free.

All boat ramps should be free as we pay taxes on boat fuel, boat and fishing licences and trailer registration.

I enjoy my time fishing, so reluctantly I shall pay the $135 hoping maybe next season some consideration can be given to my complaint.

Ron Sweetser, Mt Martha

Recognise Gillard’s role With the scheduled national apology on 22 October advertised by the prime minister for victims and survivors of institutional child sexual abuse, I do hope Scott Morrison recognises former prime minister Julia Gillard’s role in this historic event.

If it wasn’t for the former prime minister’s pivotal decision, I am pretty sure the royal commission would never have happened.

Her brave decision has ensured that all the evil goings on that took place in churches and institutions over such a long time will never again be tolerated.

All the states should now legislate (if they have not already) that this appalling criminal behaviour, especially if during the confessional in churches it is revealed, must be reported to the police and acted on, as is now the duty of schools, doctors and other institutions to report such criminal behaviour. No one is above the law.

Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Election distraction The other night I was driving down Park Street in Seaford to visit my son and his family when I was confronted with a traffic hazard on the corner of Park and Harold streets. Right on the left hand bend, going away from Frankston, a house had attached to its fence, an enormous billboard with a picture of Donna Bauer inviting the good burgers of Seaford to vote for her in the upcoming state election.

Manoeuvring around a bend with cars coming at you in the opposite direction is bad enough, but to have an enormous billboard attracting your attention is dangerous.

Frankston Council, or whoever is responsible for these matters, should direct Ms Bauer to remove it immediately and replace it with a more sensible poster that doesn’t take your eye off the road.

John Cain, McCrae

Guided walks RANGERS will be leading walks in several parks around the Mornington Peninsula until the end of October.

As part of the Seniors Festival, the walks are a chance to get out and enjoy the health benefits of being in nature. There is no need for special clothing or equipment and there will be staff to help when needed.

Ranger-guided walks are at Coolart Wetland and Homestead, Mornington Peninsula National Park and Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Wattle Club is disarray with their purpose questioned Compiled by Brodie Cowburn RECENT happenings in the working of the Wattle Club make one wonder if a drastic change in the management would not be advantageous.

Those who know anything of the valuable work carried on by the Club cannot but feel great regret that straw splitting and personal enmity is now rampant among some of the “autocrate”.

Recently we were told (at a Sunday gathering to entertain sick soldiers) that it was members only who were to be admitted. Why? Is the money contributed by the members only or by the public also?

No ; it is public funds for a public purpose, and we emphatically object to the Wattle Club reserving these functions solely for its members.

We notice that its euchre parties and dances are well patronised by the public It is not a case of ‘membership only’ when there are a few shillings to be got out of the public, who are not considered good enough to be admitted to functions where no admission is charged.

This club is becoming too “highhanded” altogether, and the sooner alterations are made the better.

It is only recently that at a public welcome home to two of our local Anzacs, organised by the councillors, that this Club absolutely refused to lend any of its furnishings or to assist in any way.

Lovely “patriotism” to be shown by those who profess to possess an abnormal amount.

Swelled heads and petty jealousies (with an occasional quarrel) are bad companions in an organisation such

as the Wattle Club is intended to be, and the sooner a little more intelligence and broad mindedness is displayed the sooner will this Club regain some of the prestige it hitherto possessed, but which at present seems irrefutably lost. *** A MEETING of Wattle Club members is advertised for Friday next at 8 o’clock, in the Mechanics.

The business is to elect members for vacancies on committee. *** ALEX Scott and Co Pty Ltd will hold a horse sale at the Tanti yards, on Thursday, October 31st, at 12 30 sharp.

Sixty horses and ponies will be offered. *** TONIGHT (Saturday) a two act comedy drama entitled “All that glitters is not Gold” will be staged in the Frankston Mechanics Hall, by the Langwarrin Dramatic Company.

A glance through the programme, and remembering the object of the effort (benefit to Mrs J. Cameron) should be sufficient to ensure a crowded house. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will sell by auction, on Thursday, 31st October, on the premises, Cranbourne road, Frankston the stock, etc, belonging to Messrs Clark and Roadley, who are leaving the district.

Attention is drawn to the advertisement in another column. *** Readers are reminded of the public meeting which is to take place in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, on

Wednesday, 30th October, in connection with the Y.M.C.A. appeal.

The work of the Association at the Front will be the subject of a leading speaker from the Y.M.C.A. Staff and a good programme of vocal and instrumental items will be gone through.

There will be a collection to defray expenses. *** ON Friday Nov 1st, a clearing sale will be conducted by Messrs Brody and Mason on account of Mr Henry E. Thornell, who is leaving the district when a number of useful farm and orchard implements; spray materials, household furnishings, etc will be disposed of.

This extensive sale is to start at 2.30 p.m sharp. *** READERS are reminded that the re-opening of the Melbourne Ragged Boys’ Seaside Home, on Oliver’s Hill, Frankston, will take place today at 3 pm.

Everybody is cordially invited to be present.

The ceremony will be performed by Mr Jas Menzies M.L.A. *** CHILDREN’S Flower Day will be held in the Frankston Park, next Friday, November 1st.

A very fine programme has been provided and a good display of flowers will be made.

The special attraction however, will be the competition for the Baby prizes, for which a splendid lot of babies are already announced as keen competitors.

It is hoped that our local babies will

“Show the mettle of their pasture” and not allow the prizes to leave the district.

As the proceeds will be devoted to the Frankston Soldiers’ Repatriation funds a big attendance is expected.

A concert for the same fund will be given on Saturday evening, 2nd November, in the Mechanics’ Hall. *** T. REEVES - BEGS to announce that he is prepared to supply fresh milk from his own cows daily, fourpence per quart - special milk for infants and invalids. *** RETURNED SOLDIER Wants Few Days’ Work Weekly. Urgent - DUNN, Dandenong Road, Frankston. *** Frankston Court of Petty Sessions.

Monday, 21st Oct. 1918 (Before Mr Knight, P.M. ,and Messrs Williams, Oates, Grant and McLean, J’s P.) Nicholas Ryan was charged by the police with being drunk and disorderly at the Frankston Railway Station on the previous Sunday evening.

Defendant pleaded guilty, and in answer to the Bench said he had served two yearsat the war.

After administering a caution to defendant to be more careful in the future, the Bench discharged him.

Harry Brasher v H. Gamble.

Unlawful assault, Mr W. S Cook for complainant, and Mr Manchester for defendant.

There were also two cross summons for unlawful assault and insulting language. The three cases being heard together.

It appears that on the 24th Sept. last Brasher went to Gamble’s Shop in

the afternoon and demanded 13s from defendant’s son which he said was due for the purchase of a watch some two years ago.

Gamble junior denied the liability.

The defendant hearing words in the shop went in and ordered Brasher off the premises.

One word brought on another.

According to the complainant when he got out of the shop Gamble hit him and knocked him down.

The only witness for Brasher said that he saw no blows struck, but saw the two men hugging one another and then fall to the ground, Brasher being underneath.

The defendant denied hitting Brasher, but only pushed him off the premises.

After Brasher got up from the ground young Gamble was leading a horse from the stable when he was hit by the complainant and there were several blows struck.

In cross-examination Brasher admitted that while serving as a revenue inspector he had been charged with perjury, but the charge had never been proved, also that while a member of the Rechabite Lodge he took goods on several occasions. He had been asked to resign from the Lodge.

The Bench decided to dismiss the three charges.

There was one case of neglecting to send child to school the required number of times, and the defendant was fined 10s or three days imprisonment. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 26 October 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Blueberry Crumble Muffin Rides Again

By Stuart McCullough IT’S time - to put ego aside for the greater good. To reunite and let the wellspring of our combined musical genius flow freely once more. To tune the guitars and crank the amps and let the chips as well as musical notes fall where they may. Put simply, it’s time to get the band back together.

‘Why now?’ I hear you ask. Partly it’s because I just saw the Black Eyed Peas perform at the AFL Grand Final and whilst it wasn’t quite a calamity of Meat Loaf proportions, it’s obvious there’s a shortage of quality tunes right now. Also, there are too many good song ideas bubbling to the surface that can no longer be ignored.

(Note to reader: I’ve just noticed that I had originally referred to the ‘ALF Grand Final’ as I was typing – this would be a very different event, presumably involving two teams consisting of clones of that bloke from ‘Home and Away’. Strewth!)

Blueberry Crumble Muffin is the band I’m in along with my niece, Matilda. A couple of years ago, we churned out a couple of cracking tunes called ‘Karate Party’ and ‘Eat Your Bagel’. It wasn’t exactly Radiohead, but that’s a good thing.

At the time, I claimed the exercise was something of an artistic statement; namely one that read: prepare to have your minds blown. The band has a standard line up of drums, bass, guitar and unicorn. We both like unicorns. After something of a hiatus, we’ve decided to get our group back together again.

My niece is twelve. Come to think of it, I joined my first band when I

was twelve. I played synthesizers for a married couple from church that played Larry Norman and Randy Stonehill covers. I remember worrying a lot about what I’d wear on stage. Actually, come to think of it, it wasn’t a stage as such; more just a corner of the youth hall. At the time

I had a yellow short-sleeved shirt with black crosshatch markings that I considered my best shirt and which I wore to all our gigs. I looked like an electric banana. It’s possible that I sounded like one too.

I’m not sure the band even had a name. Like vigilantes; we came,

we rocked and we cleaned up after ourselves. It was a great experience in that it completely demystified the music making process. It didn’t need to be all that difficult. A drum kit, guitar, keyboards and a couple of songs to hang it all on and you’re away. It was a lesson I took to heart for my next band.

Being in a band and team sports have a lot in common. By that, I mean that it’s where you learn to work cooperatively with other people for a greater good. Whereas the first band I joined had no name, the next had two – we were known as ‘20/20 Vision’ before changing our name to ‘The Pilchards’. This was the band that accounted for my teenage years.

When you first start a band, getting through a song from start to finish seems like a massive achievement.

Given enough time, though, you become a cohesive unit. Your strengths become stronger and your weaknesses don’t matter so much. You learn to create together. You aspire if not to greatness then advanced competency.

I can’t imagine what being a teenager would have been like without that band.

There was another band at Uni. In fact, we went so far as to live in a share house together. It was a far more serious effort and we even made a little EP (that’s ‘extended play’ for the uninitiated), which we sold at gigs before capitulating and giving away to anyone who knocked on the front door. That was the last band I was in.

Until, of course, Blueberry Crumble Muffin came along.

Huge melodies and hummable

choruses are the trademark features of the classic BCM sound. I had been visiting Matilda’s house, when she emerged in the late afternoon still dressed in her pajamas - a Pikachu onesie. Clearly, she had no intention of getting dressed. It reminded me of school holidays when getting dressed was unnecessary waste of time and spending the entire day in a dressing gown was common. The song ‘Pajama Day’ was the result. The chorus is pretty simple: ‘Pajama day, pajama day. I am not getting dressed, no way’. It also includes the line: ‘I’m gonna have some funsie. Spending all day in my onesie’.

Since getting the group back together, there have been other song ideas.

One comes from my nephew (and Matilda’s cousin) Tyler and will be called ‘I’m Gonna Make You Smell My Stinky Feet’. We’re also working on a song that, I feel, is largely self explanatory, entitled: ‘Unicorns Are Awesome’. I have no doubt that these will be our best songs yet.

There’s something great about collaboration. It’s a chance to share goals and create something with other people. Granted, most bands go pearshaped but, while they last, they can be glorious. Being in bands taught me a lot about resilience (there’s no harsher judge of your songwriting efforts than your fellow band mates) and how to work together with other people. I’m heading back to the studio – there’s a Blueberry Crumble Muffin classic-in-waiting that’s demanding my attention. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Unprecedented collapse for Main Ridge

By Brodie Cowburn

PENINSULA

AN extraordinary batting collapse by Main Ridge has allowed Baden Powell to claim an easy victory at Overport Park on Saturday.

Main Ridge kicked things off with a decent start, and were sitting comfortable at 2/53 before things went wrong.

They went on to lose 5 wickets for their next 7 runs, and stumbled their way to a final total of all out for 86.

Luke Long was easily the pick of the bowlers, taking a brilliant 3/11 off 8 overs.

Main Ridge’s defence of their small total got off to a dream start as Daniel Polson claimed the wicket of dangerous opener Coen Chernishoff for a duck. Baden Powell quickly fell to 2/4, before their middle order steadied things and helped guide them to the win.

Josh Waldron was Baden Powell’s best batsman, smashing two sixes on his way to a well taken 51.

Somerville took on Crib Point at home, but bad weather saw the match abandoned and ruled a draw. Pines and Long Island also had their game called off due to the poor weather.

DISTRICT

MT MARTHA have clawed back from a tough start to chase down Hastings at Thomas Barclay Oval.

Hastings were sitting comfortably at 2/93 before a middle order collapse left them at 5/122 by the end of their innings.

Mt Martha’s run chase was off to a very rocky start when their openers fell for just four runs between them.

Languishing at 2/7, Mt Martha needed their middle order to stand up tall. Simon Street’s serviceable 32 was handy as Mt Martha went to 3/74, before things went pear-shaped again and they fell to 7/82.

With their backs against the wall, Rhys Whitling stood tall as a tail ender to put together 25 not out and guide his side to a win.

At Bruce Park, Heatherhill won the toss and sent in Delacombe Park to bat first.

Jake Theobald had a win early when he took the wicket of the dangerous Jonathan Guthrie for just one run, as Delacombe’s openers fell for just 17.

Joel Malcolm came in at number 4 and dug his side out of a dangerous hole, as he scored 57 runs and remained not out as his side finished at 9/124.

Heatherhill were put on the back foot early on in their innings, and were struggling badly at 4/26.

They have Kieran Lenehan to thank for their miraculous recovery, as he carried his side with 69 not out to drag them back into contention.

With just two wickets in hand, Heatherhill chased down their target and claimed the win.

At Kanakook Reserve, Joshua Shaw helped his Carrum side get one up on Seaford by taking a remarkable 5/10 off 5 overs.

His stunning spell of bowling saw Seaford end up all out for a measly 94, which Carrum chased down with ease.

John Mitchell was the pick of their batsmen, carrying his bat with a handy 48 not out. Carrum claimed an 8 wicket win.

The last District match this Saturday

PAGE 40

saw the Seaford Tigers work hard to chase down a decent Rosebud total.

A useful knock of 46 not out by Patrick Nagel helped Rosebud set a total of 133 for the Tigers to chase down.

After a rocky opening partnership Jake Harrington’s knock of 42 settled the Tigers down.

They cut it close, but the Tigers eventually chased their target down with two wickets in hand.

SUB DISTRICT

BONEO have just held on at home to defend a mammoth total against Tyabb.

Boneo’s scorecard shows the depth of their quality, as most batsmen contributed well to their total of 175.

Cameron Williams came in among the table and top scored for Boneo with a well taken 38 not out, including 3 sixes and a four.

Chasing 176 to win, Tyabb would have their work cut out for them.

Things started poorly when they quickly lost their first wicket for just 6 runs.

Trent Delaney and Michael Edwards combined for a handy 51 run partnership to put their side back in contention, but once they fell Tyabb were left at 4/69 and in need of a hero.

Aiden Pateman stood tall in the middle order with a brilliant knock of 61, but once he fell with his side still 22 runs short of a win, the tail order were going to struggle.

The tail could not score quickly enough, as Hastings fell an agonising 4 runs short of a win.

At RJ Rowley Reserve, Skye won the toss and sent Rye in to bat.

Rye set a tough target of 134 for Skye to chase down, and the chase would prove to be thrilling.

Skye battled hard and eventually reached the target with just one wicket in hand, claiming a stunning hard fought win.

Walk in the Park: Above, Baden Powell had an easy win against Main Ridge at Overport Park. Right, Mornington easily accounted for Flinders in Provincial.

Pictures: Andrew Hurst

At Peninsula Reserve, a good opening knock of 38 by Jedd Savage could not help Dromana from getting thumped by Frankston YCW. Dromana battled hard to keep the run rate down, as Dromana could only manage to notch 92 runs.

YCW wasted no time in getting the job done, reaching the target with 17 overs to spare.

Balnarring’s clash with Carrum Downs was abandoned due to poor weather conditions.

Tootgarook had a bye.

PROVINCIAL

PEARCEDALE have struggled to make an impact against Baxter in Provincial cricket this Saturday.

Pearcedale were left badly bruised and battered at 6/59, before a badly needed innings of 46 runs from Kaine Smith helped them to a final total of 9/117.

The total would prove to be difficult to defend, and Baxter worked hard to keep the runs ticking over. Baxter eventually ended up getting over the line with 4 overs and 5 wickets to spare, Sorrento’s long road trip to Lloyd Park to take on Langwarrin lacked reward, as they struggled with bat in hand and could not defend a low total.

Robert Wilson and Leigh Poholke were best with the bat for the Sharks, but could do little to help their teammates. Sorrento ended up setting a target of 113 for Langwarrin to chase.

Langwarrin opened their innings with conviction and sent a statement to the rest of the competition, as opener Thomas Hussey carried his bat with a score of 69.

Langwarrin had little trouble as they passed their target with nearly 14 overs to spare and 8 wickets in hand.

At Emil Madsen Reserve, Peninsula Old Boys dominated Mt Eliza in emphatic fashion.

The Redlegs won the toss and unwisely chose to bat first, as their top order was torn through.

Mt Eliza finished up making a total of 94 runs.

OB wasted no time in chasing that down, earning an early shower by passing 94 in just 14 overs.

Dylan O’Malley was a star smashing six stunning sixes as he raised the

bat for a half century, Alexandra Park played host to a clinical performance from home team Mornington, as they put Flinders to the sword.

Ben Clements made the game his own, as he came in to bat at number 3 and put together a stunning knock. He earned a hard fought century, smacking 10 fours and finishing not out.

Mornington finished at 3/219.

Flinders couldn’t get close to their opponent’s lofty run rate, as they finished up well short of the target at 5/115.

Nine million for top club Aspendale SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie ASPENDALE Stingrays have millions of reasons to hope that the Andrews government is re-elected at the upcoming state poll.

A proposed four-pitch multipurpose complex with new pavilion and car parking at Kerr Crescent Reserve in Aspendale Gardens would secure the club’s future and provide the springboard for growth envisaged by the current administration.

There has been no shortage of good news for the Stingrays recently as Football Victoria named Aspendale the 2018 Club of the Year at a gala luncheon on Friday.

Just five clubs from throughout the state made the shortlist for the prestigious award which recognises the remarkable progress of the club in the past four years.

“A lot of it had to do with the exposure we’ve been able to gain for our club and although there’s been a fair bit recently about the state government and council both backing the Kerr Reserve development it’s really something that Kevin (Griffiths), Joe (Mravljak) and myself have been working on for the past few years,” club president Derrick Berends said.

Griffiths is vice-president football and Mravljak vice president operations and along with Berends they have overseen a growth spurt which has taken the Stingrays from 100 members to around 500 spread over “38 to 40” teams including 25 miniroos sides.

Kingston council now ranks the Stingrays ahead of NPL giant Bentleigh Greens in terms of participants.

The club has been forced to use three venues for training and two for matchday purposes but the Kerr Reserve proposal would end their nomadic existence.

“The idea of consolidating at one venue is what we have been working towards,” Berends added.

“Patience and perseverance have been the keys to what has been achieved so far.

“We were involved in direct lobbying of local ward councillors and we were able to get FFV (now Football Victoria) to deal directly with the council.

“Once council became aware that we were forced to turn kids away, to hire various venues for training and that we couldn’t grow the female wing of the club they realised that we weren’t just a small club of 100 members any more.”

Winners are grinners: Aspendale Stingrays under18A league champions, back row, left to right: Derrick Berends (coach), Quinn Carter, Christian Pilcher, Ben Garside, Matthew Self, Matthew Fantoma, Noah Berends (captain ), Justin Lampert, Lucas Bartlett, Gregor Macnab (assistant coach ). Front row: Joshua Bourke, Alex Griffiths, Hamish MacCorquodale, Rhett Martin, Jordy Athanassiou, James Macnab, Matthew Bruce, Jordan Daicos.

The Kerr Reserve project has been estimated at close to $9 million and the Andrews government has committed $4.5 million.

Public contributions to Kingston council’s consultative process closed last week and a review period will ensue prior to a final report being published.

The Stingrays entered State League ranks for the first time this year with the seniors finishing a creditable eighth in a 13-team league.

Striker Domenic Paul’s first match for Aspendale was in round six last season and he finished with 15 goals in 15 games coming sixth in State 5 South’s best and fairest award.

The reserves finished fifth winning their last six matches while the under18s won the league championship finishing four points clear of Peninsula Strikers.

“I think we would have lost most of the under-18s if we didn’t have a State League side,” Berends said.

“They will seriously bolster our seniors and reserves next season and we feel that the talent coming through is such that we can have a red-hot go at promotion.”

Paul Williams recently stepped down as head coach of Frankston Pines and is holding talks with the Stingrays about their plans for the 2019 season and beyond.

The big news in NPL2 is Langwarrin’s capture of Luis Rodrigo Covarrubias, Jaiden Madafferi and Jamie

Sudoku and crossword solutions

Cumming.

Covarrubias, 24, is a striker with elite competition experience having been on the books of Northcote, Pascoe Vale, Melbourne Knights, Bulleen and Box Hill United.

He scored 14 goals for St Albans Saints last season and was the fourth highest scorer in NPL2 West.

Despite his Chilean background he has had stints in Argentina with Chacarita Juniors and River Plate’s youth team.

“We have mobile, dynamic midfielders and we needed someone who can add strength to that No 9 role and who we can play off at times,” head coach Scott Miller said.

“But he’s not necessarily just a target man because he can go both ways.”

Madaferri, 19, is a former Skye United junior who played with Northcote last season and has been on the books of Bentleigh Greens and Melbourne City.

His story is remarkable given that in 2014 he was the victim of a serious assault at a party in Bayswater and was on life support in an induced coma at the Royal Children’s Hospital before making a complete recovery and resuming his promising playing career.

He is a defender and Langy did well to clinch his signature given Dandenong Thunder’s interest in the teenager.

“I had a lot of good comments about him and he lives locally and when we sat down with him I

knew we had to sign him based on his past two years,” Miller said.

“He’s a left-sided player but has the potential to play in different areas because he’s been coached well at different points in his career.”

Cumming, 31, is a former Joey and Young Socceroos defender who made his senior debut with Frankston Pines and has an impressive CV that boasts spells at Oakleigh Cannons, Bentleigh Greens, Heidelberg United and Avondale.

Langy was keen to sign him in late 2017 but he chose to join Mornington and won its best and fairest and players’ player of the year awards last season.

“In terms of the back four I wanted someone with experience and demonstrated leadership,” Miller said.

“He’ll also add to the competition in that back four.

“I’ve known Jamie for some time in fact he trialled at Fulham with another Australian boy.”

That brings to eight the number of new signings announced recently by Langy but Connor Belger’s return looks increasingly unlikely.

A group of players including the newcomers and some of last year’s senior squad have already been screened by high performance manager Alistair Wallace who will eventually assess the entire senior squad.

“When the players sign on I get in contact and run through their injury history and aspects of physicality they

feel they need to improve,” said Wallace.

“Then I go through a movement screen with them to identify any inefficiencies they may have and then work to correct them.

“As we are correcting the issues we are going through an accumulation phase of strength training to get them as strong as possible before the added load of football starts.

“They are also doing conditioning sessions which involve either swimming, cycling or running.”

Langwarrin has locked in a series of pre-season games but kick-off times are yet to be confirmed.

It plays Beaumaris at Lawton Park on Saturday 22 December, Oakleigh Cannons at Lawton Park on Saturday 12 January, Brunswick City at Lawton Park on Saturday 19 January, Kingston City at Lawton Park on Saturday 26 January and Preston Lions at B.T. Connor Reserve on Saturday 9 February.

The annual Steve Wallace Memorial Cup will be held on Saturday 2 February with a venue to be confirmed.

In State 1 South-East news Football Victoria confirmed last week that the top two sides in that league next season would win promotion to a newly created third tier competition for elite clubs in 2020.

Previously only the league champion gained promotion.

Meanwhile State 2 South-East outfit Peninsula Strikers continues to build its pre-season schedule and has now locked in a home clash against Michael Curcija’s Essendon Royals.

The Centenary Park hit-out will take place on Saturday 12 January with the reserves at 3pm and the seniors at 5pm.

In other news Seaford United and Baxter held their annual presentation nights last weekend.

Matt Schwellinger won Seaford’s senior best and fairest and players’ player of the year awards while in the reserves Cody Storton-French and Mitch Hawkins tied for best and fairest and the players’ player of the year was Josh Simmons.

Seaford’s senior women’s best and fairest was Cassie Harper and she was joint winner of the players’ player of the year award with Aleisha Piper.

Stuart McKenzie won Baxter’s senior best and fairest and players’ player of the year awards while goalkeeper James Foster won the coach’s award.

All three equivalent awards in the reserves were won by Lee Sharples.

Martin tops off formidable partnership

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based apprentice jockey, Jack Martin, has landed the biggest win in his career to date with a dominant victory aboard Moss ‘N’ Dale in the Group Three $500,000 Craven Plate (2000m) at Randwick on Saturday 13 October.

The victory topped off what was an exceptional preparation for the partnership having scored four victories from the five times they joined forces.

Saturday’s victory on The Everest undercard made it three straight wins for the pair and kicked off Martin’s spring racing carnival on a massive high, having also claimed the Listed Tokyo City Cup (1800m) in Adelaide three weeks prior – Martin’s first stakes victory.

Martin admitted to doing a figurative rain dance throughout the week with Moss ‘N’ Dale absolutely thriving in the wet conditions.

“He just ploughs through the

ground,” Martin said.

“I loved looking at the weather forecast this week. It just kept raining and raining and raining.

“My girlfriend didn’t really like it.

She couldn’t dress up as well as she could.”

Following the success, the Peter Gelagotis stable announced on Tuesday 16 October that Moss ‘N’ Dale will now head to the paddock for a spell.

Boyd catches another World Cup chance BASEBALL pitcher Jackson Boyd, of Langwarrin, will represent Australia in the under-23s Baseball World Cup in Columbia on Saturday 20 October.

The soon-to-be 19-year-old will join an Australian contingent of 24 players and compete against 12 international teams for World Cup glory.

Boyd was chosen from his past performances, most notably being the under-18s Baseball World Cup in Canada last year where his side finished just outside of the top three.

The call-up to join Australia’s national team came just moments after touching down in Florida in August where Boyd had just started studying sports science at North West Florida College. Boyd moved to Florida to continue following his dream of playing baseball at the elite level.

Boyd’s mother, Jacqui Gordon,

PAGE 42

said Jackson was looking forward to representing his country once again.

“I know he’s very excited and honoured about heading to the World Cup, especially when some of the players he went to Canada with last year will be playing,” she said.

Australia has been placed in Group B and will face five international teams being Korea, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and the Czech Republic.

The top three sides in each group will progress to the Super Round.

Australia’s opening game kicks off against Venezuela on the opening day, Saturday 20 October.

Boyd will also be playing with the spirit of loved coach, Jack Larner, who passed away from cancer on Monday 15 October.

Larner took the Southern Mariners

Senior League side, which Boyd was a part of, from state champions, to national champions, to Asia Pacific Region champions and finally to runners-up in the World Series.

That side became the first Victorian Baseball team to qualify for a World Series, the first Australian Senior League team to qualify for the World Series and the first Australian team to qualify through the Asia Pacific Region - a feat that will live on in the history books.

World Cup pitch: Jackson Boyd is set to apply his trade at the under-23s Baseball World Cup in Columbia.

Southern Peninsula Sharks basketball operations manager Lucas Allen said the tournament has become massive with representative sides from across the state using the tournament as a key pre-season event.

“It’s the biggest tournament in Country Victoria and the standard is one of the best,” Allen said.

“A lot of quality teams come and play to practise for the Victorian Junior Basketball League which kicks off the week after. They all come to get some quality training in against some quality teams.

“There are also teams from across the state that use the tournament to build up towards the Country Championships early next year.”

The tournament caters for age groups from under-12s through to under-18s.

Pike lands maiden Vic PGA title

By Ben Triandafillou QUEENSLAND-based professional golfer Aaron Pike has won his first professional tournament, taking out the Victorian PGA Championship at RACV Cape Schanck Resort on Sunday 14 October.

Pike, who began the final round two shots off the lead, shot 2-under 68 to finish at 10-under the card with rounds of 71, 65, 66 and 68.

It was far from a straightforward finish however, as he faced a nervous wait as New Zealander Ryan Chisnall played the 18th hole in the group behind needing a birdie to force a playoff. Chisnall could only manage par giving Pike the biggest win of his professional career.

“My first win and it feels pretty darn good,” Pike said.

“It was a rollercoaster out there, as I was saying earlier in the week it was just going to be the guy who lasts the longest mentally out there and I feel as though I did really well at that.

“Today was probably the best I’ve played, but I didn’t make the most of my chances with the putter so to still get over the line is obviously a really good sign for myself.”

Pike joins an illustrious list of Victorian PGA Championship winners including Marc Leishman who, in a slice of synchronicity, won the CIMB Classic on the PGA TOUR just hours after Pike recorded his win.

“There’s some guys on here like Nagle, Thompson, Roger Davis, Radar Riley, Marc Leishman, to have my name next to some of those guys is unbelievable,” Pike said.

“But that’s just what we play in Australia, we’ve got some of the best golfers in the world so I’m sure there’s a few guys used to that feeling across the country.

“It’s amazing my name is going to be on a trophy of this stature.”

Love of golf: Aaron Pike kiss’ his first Victorian PGA title trophy.

Picture: PGA of Australia

For his win in the Victorian PGA Championship, Pike received $15,000 in prizemoney and moves to 41st on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit.

Pike will now have a guaranteed

start alongside Leishman at the Australian PGA Championship at RACV Royal Pines Resort from Thursday 29 November to Sunday 2 December as well as full exemption on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia

until the end of the 2019 season.

There were also several other standout moments at the RACV Cape Schanck Resort.

Second year PGA Trainee professional Frazer Droop smashed the

course record at RACV Cape Schanck Resort to grab a share of the lead following the second round, alongside New Zealander Ryan Chisnall.

Starting the second day at 1-over the card, Droop rattled off five birdies, two eagles and a clutch bogey for his record breaking round of 8-under 62.

Despite strong winds throughout the tournament, Droop made sure he used a break in the weather to his advantage on the second day.

“I think around courses like this you can use the clubs in your favour if it’s not too strong,” said Droop.

“It’s a privilege to have a course record on any course.

“I just kept it on the straight and narrow today and took advantage of a little less wind to get a couple of birdies and I ended up making an eagle on the 13th holing a wedge shot which got things going a bit.

“I actually hit my tee shot on 13th left into the long grass. I hit it out and couldn’t see over the hill, the boys said it looked on-line and we looked around the green but couldn’t find it so I thought I better check in the hole and there it was.”

Day Three was highlighted by Ben Ford who hit his seventh career holein-one on the par-3 16th from 139 metres with his 6-iron.

Ford said he was lucky enough to be hitting off second.

“My playing partner Adam Burdett hit a nice 5-iron which I thought was a little bit too much so I went back one and really punched it in there,” Ford said.

“It was just the perfect wind for me from the left and off the bat we knew it was going to be close, it landed above the flag and with the wind and how quick that green is it just trickled in.”

Mornington trainers reign supreme on Blue Sapphire day

By Ben Triandafillou THE Mornington trainers made their presence felt at Caulfield for Blue Sapphire day by claiming back-toback stakes races on Wednesday 17 October.

Written By, for Pinecliff-based trainer Grahame Begg, continued his unbeaten preparation and maintained his undefeated status at Caulfield by claiming the $350,000 Group Three Blue Sapphire Stakes at his second run back from a spell.

The Group One Blue Diamond winner bought up his fourth victory from four starts at the track and continued his progression towards the Group One Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington on Saturday 3 November.

The three-year-old son of Written Tycoon scored a comfortable all-theway victory over Godolphin’s challenger Encryption and Lindsay Park’s Tony Nicconi.

Despite taking up the running in the field of five, Begg believes the colt could also take a trail behind the leaders when he gets to Flemington for his main assignment.

“It would be nice to see him get a sit one day but circumstances haven’t allowed him,” Begg said.

“But he sat behind them in the Blue Diamond even though he was wide but when he gets a dead-set camp on him I reckon he’ll really let down.”

Begg said that there should also still be some improvement left in Written

Track specialist: Written By maintains his undefeated status at Caulfield by winning the Group Three Blue Sapphire Stakes. Picture: Supplied

By as he nears his peak for the Coolmore Stud Stakes.

“I thought he was about 80-85 per cent right first-up and I think he’s about 90 (per cent) now. (We’ve) just

left a bit of juice in the orange.”

Following Written By’s victory, the Shane Nichols-trained mare I Am A Star continued on her winning ways by claiming her third straight victory

in the Group 3 Ted Baker Ladies’ Day Vase (1600m).

Just as Written By controlled the pace in the race prior, I Am A Star made all the running in the Group

Three before giving a kick in the straight to run away with the victory.

That win made it a hat-trick of victories for the mare having also claimed the Group Two Stocks Stakes (1600m) at The Valley and the Group Two Let’s Elope Stakes (1400m) at Flemington in her two prior starts.

While the Group One Myer Classic, which she won as a three-year-old in 2016, has always been a spring goal, Nichols revealed that I Am A Star could also back-up a week later against the boys in the Emirates Stakes (2000m).

“I’d like to (run her in the Emirates) but I don’t know whether I’d be given the tick of approval,” he said.

“If all of a sudden, Winx has her Cox Plate and wanders off to the paddock, it would be silly not to.

“She’s two-and-a-half weeks into the Myer now but she won the Myer off seven days, so why not (have a go).”

Other notable mentions from the day include the Matt Laurie-trained gelding Real Success who just missed in the second race of the day as well as the Anthony Freedman-trained galloper Danon Roman who finished a narrow runner-up in the last event on the card.
