Knock-back blow to wellness plans Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE knock back of a funding application to build a Wellness Pavilion at Rosebud Secondary College was “disappointing”, assistant principal and advisory council member Geoff Seletto said.

us on towards realising the project, and to that effect we are back to work,” Mr Seletto said. The council will continue with its fundraising program, and encourage in-kind donations of building materials and time. “We need the community on board to help us make a difference,” Mr Seletto said. The first stage of the construction process will include building a mindfulness meditation room and landscaping “to create a sense of calm”.

A mindfulness coach will deliver targeted classes, including yoga, financed by the RE Ross Trust. The second stage will include building a meeting room and offices for staff where students will receive guidance from wellbeing staff and visiting social worker, psychologist and occupational therapy professionals. The offices will be linked by a deck area with courtyard. Mr Seletto said the project had been “widely publicised and heavily supported by the southern peninsula community since its launch in August

Cloth alternative to plastic Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE state government’s ban on single use plastic bags – and commitments by the big supermarkets to phase them out over the next few months – has highlighted the merit of alternatives, such as the free Boomerang Bags. Rosebud Boomerang Bags was launched at the La Casa Nostra deli in July by Gwen Giudici, who picked up the idea from Shelle Hepburn, who had been sewing Boomerang Bags in Sorrento with the help of volunteers and school children. Since then, another three Boomerang Bags communities have been established: Somers, Red Hill and Western Port, with more in the pipeline. Ms Giudici and a group of keen women has taken the Boomerang Bags project to schools, scout groups and events (such as the Walk 4 Westernport last Sunday and next weekend’s War of Waste forum) to spread the message on stopping the use of single use plastic bags and waste in general. “The Mornington Peninsula Boomerang Bags groups have produced 1660 bags to date and you can add at least another 100 to that after Saturday,” Ms Giudici said. “It’s booming.” The bags are also travelling the world, with Sorrento Community Centre manager Tracey Truman promoting them in the US at Charles-

ton (South Carolina) and Savannah (Georgia) – just two of the stops she has made. Ms Giudici said the group had started making its own Mornington Peninsula-branded bags by screen printing the pockets on the front of the bags. “We are having regular sewing bees for everyone to join,” she said. “Lots of people are also sewing from home but, with the increased demand for

schools and events, we are always on the lookout for more volunteers.” Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said banning single-use plastic bags would reduce litter and help protect marine life. “We will work closely with Victorian communities and businesses to design the ban,” she said. “We’re proud that we’re doing our bit to reduce the impact plastic bags have on

our environment.” IGA Mt Martha co-owner Rod Allen said the store would “look to bring in a plastic bag ban as soon as practicable”. “We are having a meeting [of IGA management] on Tuesday and I will raise the issue and see when we are going to bring it in as a group,” he said. “We care for the environment and want people to bring in their own

enviro bags, and I am more than happy to not provide plastic bags, but we would have to advertise that fact and encourage people to change their mindset.” Blairgowrie IGA owner Sally Bernal said the store stopped issuing single use plastic bags three and a half years ago. “The local response has been great and I am glad we did it,” she said. “Probably one shopper in a hundred moans about it; the response has been positive.” Instead, the store supplies heavy duty paper bags at its own cost as well as top-end $10 bags which shoppers use over again. Coles and Woolworths confirmed in July that single-use plastic bags would be phased out from all stores over the next 12 months “in favour of more sustainable options”. Customers still wanting plastic bags will be charged 15 cents each. “We’ve been working towards this announcement for some time now as part of our ongoing program to improve environmental outcomes throughout our business,” Coles chief customer officer Simon McDowell said. Woolworths CEO Brad Banducci said the group “wants to play its part in reducing plastic bag usage and has taken this decision because it is the right thing to do as one of Australia’s largest retailers”. The retail giant hands out more than 3.2 billion lightweight plastic bags a year.

Art to help young voices be heard STREET art event Voices To Be Heard will be held at the Rye fairground between Christmas and the new year to focus community attention on youth suicide. The event will be held at the Wittingslow Carnival by the Sorrento Activity Centre and Studio Sorrento in conjunction with Rosebud Secondary College. Money raised will go towards the college’s Youth Wellness Pavilion. Organiser Pat Watt said she hoped a diverse group of young artists would create street art which will be hung and at times worked upon on the fencing around the fairground by young artists. They will have been provided with specific size boards on which to paint. Prizes will go to those judged first, second and third – including a first prize of $1000. The street art concept was chosen because it provides a platform for “freedom of creative expression in a modern form”. It reflects the artists’ preference to communicate directly with the public at large, free from the perceived confines of the formal art world. Artists sometimes present socially relevant content as a form of “art provocation”, which fits in well with the organiser’s concept of Voices to be Heard. Sorrento Activity Centre’s Denise Potter said the community had been saddened by the news of several youth suicides on the southern peninsula. “These traumatic deaths have resulted in questions being raised by all involved as to what more can be done to prevent this from happening

again,” she said. “The frightening reality is that no one in our community is immune from the impact of youth suicide. It may be it is connected to a family member, friend, or it may be just someone’s child that we know by association. Our community can do something to help.” Ms Potter said Rosebud Secondary College was leading the way by establishing a Wellness Pavilion as “an innovative facility promoting the learning of positive mindfulness strategies for our youth and families in the Southern Peninsula”. “It is a place of calm; of becoming the best version of yourself.” Ms Potter said organisations like Headspace “provided support and safe centres for troubled youth”. “We also know that young people need a place where they can feel connected with confidence when things get tough,” she said. “Having a place that is local, managed by carers and advisors and being housed in a familiar environment may go a long way to giving our youth a place to go when they become overwhelmed with problems. “Having a place where they feel confident in gaining support and understanding on their own level is crucial.” Youth suicide prevention involved identifying emotional issues early, offering help and simply providing a place where they can talk freely is critical,” Ms Potter said. “In this way we give them a Voice to be heard.”

Legs of steel ready for challenge MORE than 20 staff members of the BlueScope steelworks at Hastings are getting ready to make their way up Arthurs Seat. The company and its staff have been supporting the annual Arthurs Seat Challenge since it started in 2002. At that stage the challenge would not have been held without the support of BlueScope and in the ensuing 15 years it has donated more than $100,000 to improve road safety by making

the best-practice education program, Fit2Drive, available to year 11 students on the Mornington Peninsula. The challenge also raises social awareness about road safety, as well as promoting fitness, health and community spirit. BlueScope’s team will be among many charging up the hill on Sunday 12 November. To register for the challenge go to www.arthursseatchallenge.

Forum on making good use of waste

Good thinking: Victorian Farmers Federation branch vice-president Geoff Coghill uses the new silage wrap recycling program at Moorooduc.

Silage bags recycled for free A SILAGE wrap recycling program being trialed on the Mornington Peninsula aims to reduce the number of used silage bags going to landfill. Farmers are being encouraged by Mornington Peninsula Shire, the Victorian Farmers Federation and Solo Resource Recovery to bring used silage wrap to the Mornington Resource Recovery Centre where it can be exchanged for a full bag of wrap for free. Farmers use the bags because hay wrapped in airtight layers of plastic retains feed value than unwrapped hay. VFF branch vice-president Geoff Coghill approached the shire seeking a better recycling scheme. He met with waste services operations officer Peter Barton and Solo Resource Recovery’s Jim Selby and

they agreed it was a best practice sustainable activity meeting the objectives of both the shire and the VFF. “The silage wrap will be recycled into a range of products, such as matting, fencing materials, road barriers, black builders’ plastic and heavy-vehicle tracks. I encourage all peninsula farmers to join the program and help fight our war on waste,” the mayor Cr Bev Colomb said. Farmers may exchange full Bulka bags of clean used silage wrap for an empty bag at the depot in Watt Rd, Mornington. The large, lightweight bags capable of holding a cubic metre, or one tonne, are sold at the depot for $10. No other hay net, twine or plastic will be accepted.

A WAR on Waste forum and expo will be held at Dromana Hall, 11am-3pm, Sunday 29 October. The inaugural event “reflects Mornington Peninsula Shire’s commitment to best practice waste management and moving towards a zero-waste peninsula”, acting chief operating officer Niall McDonagh said. Presentations, demonstrations and stalls will showcase initiatives in waste reduction, plastics avoidance and litter prevention. Nepean Ward’s Cr Hugh Fraser and Mr McDonagh will speak about their recent visit to Shanghai, Nanjing and Xuzhou where alternative waste and waste-toenergy technology is operating successfully. Discussion will focus on how these types of initiatives might be implemented on the peninsula. Stalls will demonstrate hands-on activities, including composting and worm farming, recycling (almost) everything, eco living, decluttering, beach patrol, film screening of A Plastic Ocean, Dame Phyllis Frost winner, Josie Jones, Boomerang Bags Mornington Peninsula, Best Bite Food Businesses and Responsible Cafes. Those attending will be invited to contribute to the wonder wall of waste ideas. Prizes and giveaways will be available as well as handy hints for a war on waste at home. Details: mornpen.vic.gov.au or visit wasteforum@mornpen.vic.gov.au or call 5950 1000. Dromana Hall is at 2 Verdon St, Dromana. Free entry and parking.

SUPER SUMMER SALE!

Waste goes round RECYCLABLE household waste on the Mornington Peninsula goes to the SKM Recycling plant in Mornington and is then bulk hauled to the company’s Coolaroo plant for sorting and processing. Acting chief operating officer Niall McDonagh said the shire had a contract with the company to process recyclable material. “SKM has evolved to become an industry leader in sorting recyclables collected from households and businesses,” he said. “The wholly Australian-owned company services 12 councils and regional waste management groups in Victoria.” Paper and cardboard, such as boxes, pizza trays, toilet rolls, egg cartons, envelopes and paper is used to make new paper and cardboard at local mills, with the excess exported. Hard plastic bottles and containers are used to make plastic bottles and containers, with the excess sold on local and international markets. Milk and juice containers are used to make new containers with the excess sold in the same way. Aluminium cans and foil are used to make new aluminium cans and aluminium products. Steel from cans and aerosol cans is sold back to the industries that make them to make similar products and glass bottles and jars are sorted into separate colours and used as a raw material for other products.

‘Light hearted’ look at polio AUTHOR Fran Henke realised the need for a book outlining the latest expert advice for polio survivors after attending a conference in Sydney last year. “Experts from around the world were speaking on the main areas of concern for us and I wanted to get that new information to the often isolated people who need it most,” Mrs Henke said. “The exchange of ideas on management for polio survivors in the second round of the fight with the polio virus has proved vital in the absence of wide understanding of post-polio syndrome in the medical profession.” Mrs Henke, of Hastings, says

publication of the book Life Skills for Polios – a light hearted handbook was only made possible with donations of more than $4000 from Mornington Peninsula-based service clubs. She said money from sales of the book will go towards this month’s Polio Day, which has the theme Your Mind Matters. “The issue of mental health for polio survivors, still dealing with childhood traumas and often cruel treatment, has been neglected,” Mrs Henke said. Speakers at Polio Day on 21 October in Bendigo, will include psychologists on dealing with chronic and

degenerative illness, ageing successfully with a long term disability and mindfulness.

Permit aims to preserve heritage Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CONDITIONS attached to a Sorrento planning application are aimed at making sure the former Mitre 10 site retains the “heritage values of the historic town precinct”. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has attached 16 conditions to the redevelopment permit for the 2600 square metre 80-98 Ocean Beach Rd site which sold in March last year for $11.46 million. Selling agents CBRE at the time said the site had “unprecedented potential to design and deliver an iconic mixed use project comprising prime retail and high-end residential product, subject to council approvals”. Conditions imposed by the planning services committee on Monday 16 October aim to ensure that the development on the northern side of Ocean Beach Rd meets the “objectives of the various planning controls of the site”. Principal planner Ross Fullerton said the existing building’s heritage citation describes it as a brick single frontage shop featuring a rounded pediment, and as being an early example of a commercial shop front for Sorrento. Applicant Sorrento OB wanted to demolish the heritage building and replace it with a two storey structure with residential tenancies and car parking, while waiving loading bay requirements and associated works. But the council’s heritage consultant recommended that the building should

“not be demolished and rather be integrated in the development”. “This would ensure that the development is responsive to the eclectic mix of buildings in the main street of Sorrento,” the consultant said. “The retention of the building would address the concerns raised by the design advisory panel in regards to providing more variation from the streetscape. Additionally, the existing building contains traditional shopfront windows and a veranda that contributes to the sense of place.” The conditions aim to retain the heritage elements of the existing buildings, as well as various design elements to “keep the look and feel of the property”. Detailed instructions have been imposed on waste management, disability-friendly access and landscaping. “Sorrento is one of our most historic townships and all new developments must adhere to the heritage values of the local area,” the mayor Cr Bev Colomb said. “The shire must be sympathetic to the history of Sorrento when bringing new developments to the township,” Cr Hugh Fraser said. “These conditions will also allow for new businesses to grow in Sorrento while taking care of our heritage values.” Sorrento OB has been asked to bring its amended plans to a future planning services committee meeting to “ensure conformity with the permit conditions”.

Dairy is lap of luxury for cats A BITTERN cattery has won a Mornington Peninsula Heritage Award. Windrest Cattery, in Myers Rd, won the Creative Reuse of a Heritage Place award for turning its 1920s dairy building into a cattery. The judges’ citation said the work “retained the original fabric of the building and converted the original layout into individual cattery suites and office space”. Owners Dennice and Robert Breeschoten completed the renovation and opened their cattery in April after owning the building for 25 years. “It had been used for storage,” Mr Breeschoten said. “Then we realised the potential of this lovely building, which now houses the administration section and family villas where cats from the same family are housed with interconnecting rooms so they can be together.” The National Trust of Australia (Victoria) Mornington Peninsula branch and Mornington Peninsula Shire judged the winners who received their awards from the mayor Cr Bev Colomb trust board of management chair, Kristin Stegley. Other award winners: Restoration of a Heritage Place: A 1920s cottage at 261 Stony Point Rd, Crib Point, for sympathetic restoration; Shoreham Community Hall for the restoration of its internal and external structure, and St Andrew’s Anglican Church, Rye, for the remedial treatment of its walls. Specialist Heritage Trade Skills: Melbourne Property Rescue for its reconstruction of a period cottage window, and James Webb and Mark Watson for the reinstatement of a rear veranda at a 1870s building in accordance with documentation from the State Library of Victoria.

‘Wonder women’ set to walk to raise cancer awareness A WALK by 18 women from Safety Beach Yacht Club to the Sorrento Hotel on Sunday 29 October will raise funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF). And they will stand out, too, as all the women will be wearing red Wonder Women t-shirts helping create a “sea of red” on the foreshore near the sailing club at 8.30am. Organiser Helen Powell said she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer four years ago and has been “living with the disease ever since”. “Throughout this time I have worked and continued to raise a family through treatment,” she said. “I have been in awe of the support many of these women have been shown. We did a walk last year as six friends. This year the number has increased to 18. “Some women who are friends of friends and who I have never met will be walking.” Ms Powell said the aim of the walk was to raise awareness of the disease and its debilitating effects. “Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate of all the gynaecological cancers, due to the fact that there is no early detection test,” she said. “This means that women like me are not diagnosed until the later stages of the disease: I only had two weeks of vague symptoms.” Research funds are the only answer, she said, but “so is the importance of community and [the] community of support that other women can bring to each other”. “Wonder Woman – or man – is not just the person with the disease, it is the community behind them.”

Councillor eviction COUNCILLOR and police woman Julie Edge used her training to good effect last week when

a member of the gallery became boisterous at a meeting at the Rosebud shire offices. The News was told the Hastings man – who wanted a drinking fountain installed at the Hastings library – was so badly behaved that Cr Edge fronted him and helped manhandle him out of the chamber. She was assisted by CEO Carl Cowie and chief operating officer Niall McDonagh. “A gentleman was politely removed from the chamber after inappropriate behaviour towards the mayor and CEO and refusing the mayor’s polite requests for him to refrain from his inappropriate behaviour,” Mr Cowie said later. “After a period of time outside … the gentleman calmed down and was welcomed to stay to the end of that part of the council meeting which was open to the public.” He was not charged with any offence.

Women on water MORE women and girls will get the chance to emulate their sailing heroes next month at the Women on Water coaching regatta, 11-12 November, at Westernport Yacht Club. “Women still face an unlevel playing field when it comes to participation and leadership roles in sport but, through initiatives like this, we’re working to change that,” Carrum MP Sonia Kilkenny said when announcing a $5000 grant for the event. Women on Water is the largest all female coaching, mentoring and sailing regatta in Australia. This year’s regatta will acknowledge the many female Olympians and elite sailors who will be sharing their enthusiasm and commitment to sailing. Details: westernport.org.au.

Island not koalas Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE history of a koala rescued from a mooring near Warneet and its safe delivery back home to nearby Quail Island can be traced back to the 1920s. Research by Hastings historian and author Ruth Gooch tracing the rise and fall of the island’s koala population shows that the one picked up on Sunday 8 October by the Coast Guard is one of just a few still calling the island home (“Soggy koala finds solace in blanket” The News 17/10/17). Gooch’s book, Quail Island, Western Port, Victoria, tells of campers in the 1970s hearing koalas “bellowing” during the night and field ecologist Malcolm Legg in 2008 reporting seeing a “few” koalas in the manna gums. There have also been other accounts of koalas swimming between Warneet and the island, with some becoming stranded on moorings, possibly caught by the “dramatic” 3.42 metre tides. Gooch says the koalas swimming style has been described as “neither a dog paddle nor a breast stroke, but a bit of both”. But back in the 1920s it wasn’t koala drownings that most concerned the then chief inspector of fisheries and game Frederick Lewis, it was the animals’ imminent extinction. Lewis said the only way to avoid koalas becoming extinct on the mainland was to put them on islands in Western Port for protection. As Gooch’s research shows, elsewhere in Australia koalas were still be slaughtered in their thousands for the fur trade. Although introduced to both Phillip and French islands in the early 1880s, Lewis was concerned that Victoria’s koalas were threatened by habitat loss. He saw Quail Island as an ideal refuge for koalas and requested the Lands Department to

declare it a sanctuary, saying it was already home to “silver gulls, kangaroos, magpies, opossums, plover, bronze-winged pigeons, quail, wallabies and black swans”. Through Lewis’s efforts, the island was declared a Sanctuary for Native Game on 13 March 1928, with 165 koalas being transferred from French Island in 1930, where residents were complaining about them destroying

manna gums in windbreaks. It was reported by the West Australian newspaper in 1933 that the then uninhabited Quail Island was the only “native animal settlement in the world where animals are permitted to thrive undisturbed in their natural sanctuary”. Three years later disaster struck, with koalas being decimated by a fire suspected on being lit by a farmer leasing grazing land.

Vision Blinds Vision is an innovative new window blind featuring two layers of translucent and opaque horizontal striped fabric that glide pasts each other providing flexibility in shading and a real statement at your window. The blind can also be raised and lowered just like a roller blind giving you the option of full privacy or a clear view outside.

Koala numbers had recovered to about 150 by 1938, but it seems their health and welfare was forgotten during most of the World War II, until writer and photographer Ronald Monro made a return visit in 1943. On his first visit in 1939, Monro had recorded finding “delightful koalas everywhere”. Four years later, after being discharged from the army, Monro described hundreds of koalas starving as they sat in the limbs of dead trees. He saw koalas fighting over “stray leaves”. Wildlife experts visiting the island a few days after Monro’s report in the Herald predicted the hundreds of remaining koalas would be dead within a month unless they were moved. Monro’s report was contested by Frederick Lewis, whom said healthy koalas were living elsewhere on the island. The conflicting reports led to the government promising to keep a closer eye on the koalas which, in turn, then saw koalas translocated from Quail, Chinaman and Phillip islands. Since then Quail Island’s koala population appears to have never again reached its level of the late 1930s. Copies of Quail Island, Western Port, Victoria can be bought from www.ruth-gooch.com

Louvolite’s stunning Vision fabric collection includes a range of textures

and tones, subtle metallic shimmers and blackout options too, making these blinds perfect for any room in the house.

ON THE COVER

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

A LOVING RESTORATION CIRCA 1887-1888, this stately home was built by James Raeburn Petrie in what was known as the Frankston Railway Estate. This detached Italianate-style villa is a highly intact example of late nineteenth century Victorian architecture, lovingly restored room by room over thirteen years. Respecting the historical significance of the home, professional interior decorators and specialist trades were used during the restoration period to ensure that the modernisation of the home was in keeping with its architectural period and from the first moments you arrive there is that tingling expectation and excitement that you are about to encounter something truly special with so much to admire and enjoy before you even enter the home. From the elaborate front gardens, the magnificent bullnose verandah with traditional iron lacework and huge leadlight entrance door, the entire faĂ§ade exudes grandeur. A hallmark of Victorian era homes are the two grand bedrooms at the front of the home that both feature cast iron fireplaces and tall dark timber robes. The master bedroom is set apart by twin robes that flank the fireplace, and a large window that frames the lush outlook to the magnolias that line the driveway. The central hallway also leads past a formal living room and into the wonderful kitchen and dining area that seamlessly blends old world charm with modern convenience. Rich in warmth and character with timber ceilings and exposed brick walls the kitchen features granite bench tops with built-in drain board, eye-catching cream cabinets with brass knob handles and a sleek Asko dishwasher. A covered patio off the meals area provides a private space for alfresco entertaining, with the original Victorian brick dome water tank complete with iron hand pump a uniquely handsome garden feature. Every period detail we love about Victorian era homes are here to enjoy, and all are styled in keeping with the vintage theme. The refurbished bathroom has cream tiling and burgundy trim, there is a sensational claw foot bath with rose shower head, and even the external laundry has been comprehensively appointed. Offered for sale for the first time in 27 years this home is a rare opportunity to purchase a piece of Frankstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. n

Safety and fun on the track YOUNG motorbike riders have a safe, supervised area in which to ride – right in the shadows of BlueScope’s Western Port steelworks. And the sense of fun is catching on, with membership of the Mornington Peninsula Motorcycle Club doubling over the past 12 months. “One of the most important aims of the club is to teach young people how to ride safely and responsibly,” club secretary Carl Agar said. “We won’t let anyone ride who isn’t a club member, and to be a member you must know and follow the rules.” The club’s 1200 financial members are mostly families, with many parents joining up with their children to “reignite the passions of their youth”, Mr Agar said. “They end up riding around together. Typically, around half of our members are 18 or under.” Junior and senior riders take part in training programs and the club holds family days, such as Christmas parties where even Santa turns up for a ride. The committee monitors track activities to ensure noise and other environmental impacts are kept to a minimum. A volunteer committee supervises the track and riders at all times. Members give up their time and, in some cases, use of their heavy machinery to maintain the track. Mr Agar said the club – formed as the Hastings Blue Light Motorcycle Club in 1995 – owed its formation to

the drive and determination of steel worker and local resident Ray Hare. In December 2001 Mornington Peninsula Council gave the club permission to establish itself permanently on the site. “The first bikes roared around the newly completed dirt track in April 2002 and the club has gone from strength to strength since then,” Mr Agar said. “The number of complaints and incidents of reported illegal trail bike riding in the area has fallen dramatically.” Mr Agar said the club was proud of its success “particularly from the point of view of attracting young people into a safe riding environment rather than risking injury to themselves and others by riding illegally on public land”. Track opening hours are 11am-5pm weekends; 11am-3pm Wednesdays; 11-5pm in school holidays and selected public holidays. The track is closed on the third and fourth Sunday each month and on days of total fire ban, strong winds and when there are no available volunteer track supervisors. Entry to the track at BlueScope Steel’s recreation centre is off Denham Rd, Hastings. Stephen Taylor Two-wheel freedom: Action at the Western Port motorcycle track. Picture: Yanni

Shire goes ahead with club rent rise

Downwind: A Flying 15 in action. Picture: Supplied

Setting sails in the new year began 12 months ago with a practice race on 31 December and the presentation dinner on 4 January. Entries close in five weeks with interest already from several Western Australian competitors. “This is a major summer event involving Mornington Peninsula Shire's cooperation and the work of many volunteers both on the water and ashore,” organiser Ian Robertson said. “They cover all aspects of the event,

including the sailing itself plus health and safety issues for competitors, catering, social events, accommodation and boat and trailer parking.” Mr Robertson said an “event of this scale is undoubtedly of great economic benefit to the peninsula as there will be the friends and families who will be offered various tours, wineries and attractions while the crews are sailing”.

THE best 30-40 Flying 15 class yachts in Australia will contest a major sailing event at Mornington Yacht Club in the new year. Flying 15s are a 6.096 metre (20 feet long with 15 feet waterline length) performance yacht with a twoperson crew. They have remained a popular racing class yacht all over the world for years. Planning for the 1-4 January regatta

DESPITE strong opposition, Mornington Peninsula Shire is determined to force a massive increase in the rent it receives from the Hastings Cricket and Football Social Club. Councillors last week decided to advertise their intention of offering the club a new 21-lease lease, but with a rent increase from $4000 a year to $42,000 in the first year. The rent will rise $5000 a year for the following two years and then three per cent a year until expiry of the lease. The latest offer, which will be advertised and open for public comment, is virtually the same as that proposed by council in June and ignores an alternative proposed by the club in August. At that stage, the club suggested it pay a maximum rent of $40,000, with just $10,000 going to the shire and the remainder being allocated to “projects” at Hastings Park ($15,000), “projects/ charities” at Hastings ($10,000) and $5000 to the club’s community support fund. If the club agrees to the shire’s latest terms, “all amounts [of rent] after the first $10,000” will be “partly allocated to … Hastings Park and … to community groups in the local Hastings area”. The club’s lease – which includes a building housing a gaming room – expired in December 2016. The club has been allowed continue remain under existing lease conditions while discussions were held with the shire.

However, it now seems discussions with the shire and club representatives have achieved little, with property and strategy manager Yasmin Woods telling councillors that the Valuer-General assessed the commercial ground rental value at $60,000 a year plus GST. “On the basis that the commercial activities on the premises are undertaken by a community group, the proposed rent reflects a 30 per cent discount on this valuation,” Ms Woods stated in a report to council’s Tuesday 10 October meeting. “We know the club is well-loved by Hastings and wider community. It has been in operation since the 1970s and provides social facilities for its members,” the mayor Cr Bev Colomb said. Cerberus Ward councillor Kate Roper said rent paid by the club under the new lease “will go back into continual upgrades to Hastings Park and assistance for those struggling in our community”. In June, Ms Woods told council her original rent suggestions were not tied the money to gaming receipts. and quoted sections of the shire’s Responsible Gaming Strategy as justification: “To ensure that venues operating gaming machines on shire owned land make a positive contribution to the community.” The strategy notes that “the presence of gaming machines changes the nature of operations of a community club. Gaming machines are a commercial activity that attracts new financial resources to the venue, resources that are not available to clubs without gaming machines.”

Money is misused on overseas trips After what I regard as the scandalous misuse of ratepayers money by councillors in recent years for overseas trips and personal education, I really thought that Mornington Peninsula Shire Council would stop it, out of shame. But no, alas, it’s continuing, with more overseas ventures funded, I would say, by the $197 unnecessary surcharge on our rates. Study tours? Fact finding missions? What rot. These are simply simple councillors charged with looking after the needs of ratepayers and prohibiting fun, unless it’s council fun, allowing pubs to spew out violent drunks at 3am and encouraging tourists to swarm all over our beaches to such an extent that local ratepayers cannot enjoy a day at the beach except in winter. Worse, we have fantasies and obsessions by some councillors which we have to pay for too. A “carbon neutral peninsula” is a prime example. While reducing carbon production by installing LED lighting council encourages and funds tourism, so that we now have four to five million extra exhaust pipes emitting huge amounts of carbon dioxide every year. I don’t see many governments in the world (really) serious about reducing the 0.04 per cent of carbon dioxide in the planet’s atmosphere (compared to 29 per cent oxygen) because nature takes care of the balancing of that and, anyway, other gases are far worse than carbon. Governments see windmills and solar as good economic activity to replace the car manufacturers and industrial might that we used to have. What right, what intelligence, do councils think they have to enter this arena, especially with overseas trips? We are just a tiny Hicksville, not a world power.

At the very least we have to abolish the $16,000 expense account (slush fund) that not every councillor uses and abuses. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Tourism strategy needed [Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park director] Michael Johnson (“Foreign tourists ‘generate jobs and money’” The News 16/10/2017) is misguided in thinking I was criticising the influx of international tourists or that I wasn’t aware tourists and other holidaymakers are valuable sources of revenue and jobs. My comments were about highlighting the social and environmental impact of mass tourism (“Tourism can have downside” The News 10/10/17). Mass tourism occurs for instance between Christmas and New Year when there are so many people there is hardly any room to move on a pavement, when rubbish, including mounds of plastic, litter the beach and foreshore, when people are rude and aggressive at the supermarket, the parking areas, the petrol station, on the road and on the water. That time when historic and community built buildings are covered in graffiti. That time when long-stay campers believe they have the right to cut the tops of indigenous trees, tear out native vegetation and plant their dahlias/tomatoes/pumpkins. That time when streets away from the bay you can have an outdoor dinner or lunch ruined because of the whine of jet skis drowns out every other sound. It was at that time last summer when visitors left rays and banjo sharks mutilated and dying near Rye Pier. Most visitors of course don’t do any of the above, but with the increasing volume of visitors

there is a proportional increase in the number of hedonists who do. As Mornington Peninsula residents we passively accept the label of Melbourne’s Playground and therefore suffer the consequence of what being that playground means. The wrong message is being sent. Mornington Peninsula Shire has a duty of care to protect local communities, conserve the natural environment and to ensure the spirit of the peninsula’s planning scheme is adhered to. It is irresponsible of council to encourage more and more visitors and building development yet only have in place reactive ad hoc strategies. The peninsula, and certainly its southern end, urgently needs council to develop a tourist/ holidaymaker management plan that contains a coherent set of strategies that don’t restrict visitor enjoyment but do protect local communities and the natural environment. This is what I have asked council about. Mechelle Cheers, Rye

Ban jet skis Today was a beautiful balmy day. The first day warm enough to attract people to the beach at Mt Martha. Driving past the beach, the umbrellas and people dotted around enjoying the water made a colourful sight. Everyone enjoying a beautiful peaceful late spring afternoon. Until some jet skis started up, screaming and thumping back and forth up and down the beach. I for one had gone into my garden in Bay Rd where the sound was demonic. Heaven help the people on the beach. Would we allow a trail bike to scream up and down the beach? The sound of jet skis is worse and not helped by the people who drive them at full speed and in endless circles. It’s time for a complete ban on jet skis in Port Philip. Ken Anderson, Mt Martha

Loss of Sisters view

would have had) from the Eastern Sister over the original camp area, now the Sullivan Bay (old Tideways) picnic area, the only part not built on. All you can see now is a thin strip of beach, very sad for the historic site. It is noted the path cost three times the developer’s contribution. At least it is now possible to walk around the bay from the visitors centre to the picnic area. Keith Murley, Collins Site volunteer, Blairgowrie

All ‘coal’ fired up Despite 12 months having passed since I raised the problem of a seemingly black hole of information getting through to the Balnarring area, it seems nothing has been done. Rupert Steiner (“Attention seeker” Letters 17/10/17) and Esther Gleixner (“Back renewables” Letters 17/10/17) look to be the latest victims of this problem. Mr Steiner wrote “the age of coal is truly finished” followed by Esther with “Australian miners know the coal industry is on the way out”. Luckily, the majority of us do have access to modern technology, so here are the facts: At present, world wide, there are currently 5973 units of coal fired power generation in operation. There are 621 units under construction and due to come online in the next 12 months. Even countries like Japan and South Africa have 21 under construction and a small nation, Vietnam, has 34 (sourced from the Australian Parliamentary Library). And by the way, contrary to a rumour doing the rounds of the Dava Hotel bar, I was not the one who placed the plastic handcuffs in the “Asylum seeker” bin outside the Mt Martha supermarket a couple of months ago, but I will admit to a chuckle when I saw them. Michael Free, Mt Martha

The article “Eastern Sister path open” (The News 17/10/17) mentioned a block on the old Sisters area with a 270-degree view. Wonderful for the block, but the big house, large umbrellas and 2.7 metre high fence for house privacy now block the original clear view (Collins and now visitors

ning passed all too quickly. The visitors also helped greatly towards the programme, some splendid items resulting. The programme was as follows: - Overture, Miss Violet Cole; Song, Miss Edith Woodhouse, Song, Miss Mc Cool, (encored); duet. Miss H Willington and Miss Menagh; Song Miss H Willington; Song. Miss Menagh. Miss Lily Slocombe and one of the lady visitors played accompaniments. Messrs G Gibson and Chalwell played for the dances. *** THE balance sheet of the Colonial Bank of Australasia Ltd for the half year ended 30th September 1917 has just been published and the result of the past half year’s operations is very satisfactory a net profit of £27,826 9s 4d being earned for the period. It is intended to pay the usual dividend at 7 per cent per annum on both Preference and ordinary shares which will absorb £15,374 16s 3d and transfer another £10,000 to the Reserve Fund making that fund for the year, and raising that fund to the amount of £290,000 and to carry forward £7,584 11s 9d. The bank continues to maintain the reputation it has for financial strength, the liquid assets totalling no less than £2,258,510 which is equivalent to over 9s 7d in the pound of the Bank’s total liabilities and exceeds by nearly £400,000 the whole of the non-interest-bearing deposits at call. The solid position of the Bank should be most pleasing to both its Shareholders and its constituents. *** A VERY old resident of Frankston

passed away on Sunday morning last after a long illness, in the person of Mrs Barnett. The deceased has been a resident of Frankston for upwards of 40 years and was born at Brighton 66 years ago. An operation was performed on her about 6 months ago for an internal cancer and since then she has been gradually sinking. The deceased lady was highly respected and will be sincerely mourned. Her husband and grown up family of three sons and five daughters survive her. The remains were interred in the Frankston cemetery on Tuesday last, the Rev. A. P. McFarlane officiating at the grave. Another very sudden death occured on Sunday in the person of Mr H. Gabriel, the cause being heart failure. The deceased was in his usual health the day of his death when he suddenly collapsed. The remains were interred in the Frankston cemetary on Tuesday, the Rev A. P. McFarlane officiating at the grave. A grown up family is left to mourn their loss. *** MR and Mrs McSweeney and family desire to express their heartfelt thanks to their many friends of Frankston for kindness shown to them while their son Bert was so very ill, especially to Dr Maxwell for his unremitting care and attention. It is impossible to thank all personally and they request that all friends will accept this intimation of their sincere

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Day I nearly Answered One Of Mankind’s Greatest Questions By Stuart McCullough OMG. Wait - scrap that. Make that double OMG with a gold plated cherry on top because the one thing I thought would never happen to me has, finally, happened. When something this huge, this important, this freakishly humungous occurs, it’s vital to take stock for a moment and get my head ever so slightly together. For this is the week when it all changes. Things that I thought were merely the stuff of myth have proved themselves to be all too real. Even now, I can barely believe it. For there I was, minding my own business, when I saw a chicken cross the road. I was driving into Bendigo, speaking to my wife on the hands-free, when I saw it. Stepping out into four lanes of traffic was a brown speckled hen. Truth be told, it wasn’t so much as ‘crossing the road’ as it was stepping into the path of on-coming traffic. It must have been distracted because it didn’t so much as glance upwards as I hurtled in its general direction. Presumably the poor, wandering bird had it’s iPod plugged in, listening to the latest release by its preferred deathmetal band. Nothing else could possibly explain its zombie-like march to oblivion. Luckily for the hapless hen, my reflexes were – if not razor sharp, then not yet entirely blunted – and I took evasive action. As the car veered to the right, the chicken took another step forward. Even as I was doing my utmost to prevent a catastrophe, the creature seemed determined to press on. I can’t be sure what I said, but I’m sure I expressed surprise with a vocabulary more suited to a sailor as I

glanced up in my rear view to see the chicken continue on its merry way. After explaining that the expletive I had just uttered at a window-rattling volume was not, in fact, directed at my wife, I began to think about the close encounter I’d just experienced. I’ll admit it – I was thrown and a little shaken. It was perhaps because I felt so discombobulated that I failed to have the presence of mind to seize what, in effect, was a once in a lifetime opportunity. For years, humankind has yearned to know the answer to the question; ‘why did the chicken cross the road?’ Here I was, handed the chance to solve one of the Universe’s

most enduring and impenetrable mysteries, and I let it fly/walk straight past me. In an ideal world, I would have slammed on the brakes, performed a u-bolt and taken off in pursuit of the jaywalking chook. Had I thought to turn the car around, I’m positive that I’d have leapt from my still-moving vehicle and seized the pilgrim poultry by its shoulders (if, indeed, it had shoulders to seize) and would have demanded to know not only why it had crossed the road but, perhaps more importantly, why it had failed to use the pedestrian crossing a mere fifteen feet away. It was as though it’d given no thought whatso-

ever to issues of safety. Not only had it ignored the crossing, it had no helmet, no fluorescent vest. Nothing. As these thoughts cascaded through my mind, I became completely disoriented and needed to pull over. After gathering my wits (who, frankly, were resistant – I found a couple of them hiding in the sleeve behind my seat along with an old Melways and a piece of unused chewing gum), I realized I had to go back the way I’d just come. As I turned around, it occurred to me that I was heading right back to the spot where I’d had the close encounter with a chicken. Maybe this time I’d get the answers I was desperate for.

The chicken, however, had flown the coop and was nowhere to be seen. At first I was mystified. But on reflection, it all makes sense. Whereas I saw it as a second chance, it’s quite possible that the chicken thought I’d returned to have another go. Doubtless, as my vehicle reappeared over the horizon, the hen went into ‘fight or flight’ and took off in fear for its safety. Which, given it’d just stepped onto a major road without looking is somewhat ironic. Whereas I’d seen it as a shot at redemption, I fear the chicken saw me as trying to wipe it out. Chances are, the chicken was hiding behind a shrub as I drove past for the second time. It goes to show, I think, that there are no easy answers. Even when you’re confronted with something that you’d hitherto only ever read about, perhaps it’s better just to observe than to truly understand. It was such a fleeting moment. One I feel that will never be repeated. Best, then, to simply appreciate it for what it was. I may not know why the chicken crossed the road, but I do know both where it crossed and what it was wearing. And that should be enough for anyone. Later that evening, I checked into the motel before heading to the bistro. As I waited for my chicken parmigiana to arrive, I reflected on the day’s events. Then I heard a noise. Glancing up, I saw a brown chicken leaning against the bar, regaling a small crowd about its recent brush with death. I wanted to go and say hello, to apologise or maybe even explain why I’d almost run it over. But I simply couldn’t bring myself to do so. I was, I suspect, too chicken. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

scoreboard SOUTHERN PENINSULA

Usually dominant Baxter looks shaky PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully BAXTER is outside of the MPCA Provincial top four for the first time in a long time after losing its second straight match on Saturday against Pearcedale. Baxter has been the dominant side in the competition for more than a decade but its start to the 2017-18 season has been shaky. It appears that if Chris Brittain or Daniel Warwick don’t make a score, Baxter cannot win. On Saturday it went into the match without opener Joe Rule, one player who has been holding up his end of the bargain. The middle order is really letting Baxter down right now and needs some improvement. Baxter is also suited better to the long form of the game and starting the season with three one-dayers may not have been the ideal fixture. Baxter sent Pearcedale into bat on Saturday and it was Brad Trotter (53) and Chris Dew (78) who got the home team off to a flyer. The pair opened with 140. The Panthers then lost 10/45 and the score looked competitive enough. Dale Irving was the best of the Baxter bowl-

ers with 3/24 from 5.3 overs. Brittain and Warwick opened the batting but made just 20 and 11 respectively and were parted with the score on 20. Travis Sawers was solid with 62 and Justin Bridgeman made 39, however, the tight bowling of the Panthers saw Baxter fall four runs shot, eight wickets down. Sam Frawley played his best game for some time, picking up 3/44 while Dew took 3/58. Crib Point remains on the bottom of the ladder with no wins from its opening three games after being thrashed by Mornington. Mornington was sent into bat and made 5/163, Brad McDonald top scoring with 46 and Brad Wilson providing outstanding support with 44. In the chase, at one stage Crib Point was 4/17 and again were 8/62, before Mark Cairns (26) and Andrew Sharp (21) added some respectability. Matt Foon was outstanding with the ball for the Doggies, picking up 3/14 from eight overs. Langwarrin is in third place on the ladder after knocking over Sorrento at David McFarlane Reserve. The Sharks batted first and were restricted to 9/127. Corey Harris top scored with 26. Jake Prosser was the best of the Kan-

gas’ bowlers with 3/25, while Matt Campbell and Adam Campbell snared two wickets each. There were six brothers who represented the Kangas on the weekend, Travis, Adam and Matt Campbell, as well as Jake, Matt and Sam Prosser. In reply, the visitors cruised to victory four wickets down and with four overs to spare after Matt Prosser opened with 49 and Andy Johnson scored 39. Peninsula Old Boys remain the only undefeated team in the competition after beating Mt Eliza. The Old Boys batted first and made a modest 7/133, despite 54 runs from Dylan O’Malley. In reply, Mt Eliza fell short by three runs after losing their final wicket on the second last ball of the day. At one stage the Mounties were 5/49. James LaBrooy was the pick of the bowlers with 3/28.

ter, went to work. In just his second game back and after scoring a half-century last week, he backed it up with 122 on Saturday. Michael Holmes opened with him and made 57 in the pair’s opening stand of 100. Gareth Wyatt was the next best with 19. The Parker’s Ricky Ramsdale was the pick of the bowlers with 3/28. In reply, the visitors were never in the game, losing their first three wickets for just 18, including Ramsdale, Nick Christides and Jon Guthrie. Oliver McEnroe was the best of the

Ridge bowlers with 3/41, while Luke Collins picked up 2-15. Long Island is the only other undefeated team in Peninsula after beating Pines. Pines batted first and hit 3/17 before Harley Peace-Stirling (75) and Nick Wilcox (52) got things going. However, there was no wag in the tail and the visitors were restricted to 9/159. James Paxton was outstanding with the ball for the Islanders with 4/35. In reply, the home side passed the target six wickets down with an over the spare.

Main Ridge maintain edge on rivals PENINSULA

By IT Gully MAIN Ridge remains the dominant force in MPCA Peninsula after making light work of Delacombe Park in round three on Saturday. But whilst the Ridge opened the season with three straight wins, last year’s grand finalists, Delacombe, are yet to win a game. Main Ridge had no hesitation to bat first when it won the toss on Saturday and arguably the best sportsman on the peninsula right now, Shaun Fos-

Hastings winless early DISTRICT

By IT Gully HASTINGS is the only side in MPCA District without a win this season after losing to Mt Martha on Saturday. The Blues have had a tough start to the year in its opening three one-day games and Saturday was no easier. Winning the toss and batting first, the Blues made 8/129 from its 40 overs. Rob Hearn top scored with 35 and opening partner Nathan Hunt contributed 27. Sean Hewitt then made 24, however, losing 4/17 in the middle order cost the visitors. Steve O’Neill was the best of the bowlers for the Reds with 3/34. In reply, although shaky, Mt Martha got there in the end, eight wickets down and with one over to spare. Mitchel Darville was the backbone of the innings with an unbeaten 43, while Max McKenzie played a game-saving innings with an unbeaten 20. The Reds were in real trouble

at 8/86 before McKenzie walked to the crease. Baden Powell remains the only undefeated side in the competition after a solid victory against Heatherhill. The Braves were sent in to bat and made 9/152 from its allotted overs, skipper Craig Entwhistle top scoring with 35 and Rhys Elmi contributing 31. Brett Maxwell was the best of the Hills’ bowlers with 3/30 from eight overs. In reply, the Hills were never in the hunt, despite 32 runs from Kristian Miller. They were bowled out in the 38th over. Elmi backed-up his batting performance with some magic with the ball, snaring 4/19 from 7.2 overs, while Michael Ballard picked-up 3/20. Rosebud won a cliffhanger against Seaford Tigers, winning by just one run. The Tigers didn’t look like they did enough after being bowled out

for 126 in the 39th over. Billy Quigley took 3/29 for the Buds while Anthony Joel top scored with 28 for the Tigers. In reply, the Buds were in strife at 3/17, however, 61 unbeaten runs from Jason Mathers and 45 from Pat Nagel helped the scored to 4/104. The Buds then lost 4/11 before Mathers got his side over the line in the final over, finishing at 8/127. Rye is in the top four after knocking over Seaford. The Demons batted first and it was Andrew Hitchener (35) and skipper Matt Whelan (61no) who helped the home team to 6/150. The Demons’ bowlers then got to work and restricted the visitors to 8/144 from 40 overs. Whelan backed up his match-winning batting performance with 2/13 from eight overs with the ball.

Winning Saints stay at the top SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully BALNARRING remains at the top of the MPCA Sub District table after recording another easy victory on Saturday, this time against Boneo. Both sides went into the clash undefeated but it was no contest on Saturday. The Saints batted first and made a handy 8/187, Mark Walles top scoring with 65 and Pete Mereszko opening with 33 and Mitch Kleinig adding a valuable 28 at the end. The Pandas used seven bowlers. In reply, Boneo lost 4/15 to be in early trouble. They never recovered, despite 34 runs from Ryan Jellie, eventually bowled out for just 83. Ben King again did the damage with the ball for the Saints, picking up 3/12 from 5.3 overs, while Kleinig added 2/33 to his run tally. Tyabb remains winless, beaten comfortably by Carrum Downs, who moved to third place on the ladder. The Cougars batted first and made 197, thanks largely to skipper Ryan Lynch, who scored 53 and Nathan Lynch, who hit 37. Nick Bradley was the best of Tyabb’s bowlers with 3/34. In the chase, the Yabbies started well with Nick Taranto scoring 46 and James HollandBurch 31, while Matt Dimkos scored 29. However, David Dervan snared 3/18 off 7.3 overs and Ryan Lynch took 3/28 to roll the Yabbies for 156 in the 36th over. Skye is also winless after three games, beat-

en by Carrum. The Lions batted first and made a strong total of 6/211, Zach Dent scoring 63, Josh Dent 56 and Dale O’Neil 36. In reply, Skye skipper Anthony Craddock did all that he could with 57 and Pat Beckham contributed 38, however, it wasn’t enough. The visitors were restricted to 8/155 from its 40 overs. Stirling Hollingsworth was the pick of the Carrum bowlers with 3/21 from eight overs. Dromana shot to second place on the ladder after beating Frankston YCW. Dromana sent YCW into bat first and they made a competitive 7/146. Dromana skipper Jack Fowler was the pick of the bowlers with 3/38. In reply, Jedd Savage scored 51 and Blake Pappas 42 for the Hoppers to steer their side to victory with five overs and seven wickets in hand. Tootgarook won its first game of the season, knocking over the previously undefeated Ballam Park. The Tooters were sent in to bat and made a very modest 123 in just 36.1 overs. Scott Sterling top scored with 44. However, the Frogs’ bowler were able to defend the low total, rolling the Knights for just 76 in 33.2 overs. Jacob Long was the best of the Tootgarook bowlers with 3/10 from six overs, including three maidens, while Adam Taylor snared 2/10, Corey DeBruyn 2/13 and Stephen Brain 2/27.

Marathon effort: Luke Raymond at the end of this year’s Melbourne Marathon and achieving another major step towards reaching his personal best in fundraising for the Alannah & Madeline Foundation.

Runner reaches early goal EARLIER this year Luke Raymond set himself the goal of running 2017 kilometres in 2017 to raise money for children impacted by violence and bullying. The Langwarrin man achieved his massive mission on September 30, cracking 2017km on a training run and exceeding his $5000 fundraising goal for the Alannah & Madeline Foundation. Training through the dark, cold and wet of winter, Raymond took part in Run for the Kids, Run Melbourne and the Melbourne Marathon as part of achieving his personal challenge. “When you break it down, the distance seems possible,” he said. “It equates to 38 kilometres every week and 168 kilometres every month.” Despite reaching his running goal and

fundraising goal, the father of two said he will continue running and raising money for the foundation, which works to keep children safe from violence and bullying, for the rest of the year. Alannah & Madeline Foundation CEO Lesley Podesta said that Raymong has been “a tremendous campaigner, sharing his progress through his Facebook page and fundraising page”. “What an outstanding effort by a remarkable man,” Ms Podesta said. “Luke has raised more than $5000 and this will enable us to directly assist vulnerable children to recover and thrive.” To support Luke Raymond, visit give. everydayhero.com/au/2017-in-2017 or www. facebook.com/2017kmsforkids/

CJ Hodgson says he’s a Pines boy for life SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines’ jack-of-alltrades CJ Hodgson has declared his allegiance to the Monterey Reserve club. “I’ll be there as long as my parents are involved so I think I’ll be playing at Pines for the rest of my career,” the 24-year-old said. He’s had more seasons at Pines than any other senior player and he’s also the club’s most versatile performer having played at right back, wide midfield, centre midfield, striker and he’s even worn the goalkeeper’s gloves. His career kicked off at under-6 level at Langwarrin and he made his reserves debut under then-coach Jamie Skelly as a 15-year-old in 2009. Opportunities to play senior soccer forced his hand and he switched to Pines for the following season. Tommy O’Halloran gave the 16-year-old his senior debut against Knox in 2010 but Pines’ slide down the leagues continued. At the end of another unsuccessful season Pines’ fortunes changed when Hodgson’s parents took on the onerous task of reviving the faltering club, dad Gary becoming president and mum Pip becoming treasurer. That’s when the unheralded Danny Verdun arrived as senior coach and transformed the team. “Danny’s probably my favourite coach because of his passion and the way he pushes you to be your best,” Hodgson said. That’s not taking anything away from current Pines supremo Paul Williams. “Paul’s young and he’s still learning and I think that he’ll be a very, very good coach.” Hodgson’s loyalty to Pines has only been tested twice, once at the end of the 2015 season when he was lured by Mornington gaffer Adam Jamieson to Dallas Brooks Park for pre-season training only to change his mind and rejoin Pines for the start of the 2016 season. “Being at Mornington was awesome and they won the league that year and we got relegated but in the end, family means everything to me and that’s why I went back to Pines.” Late last year Hodgson once more was lured away from Monterey Reserve this time by Casey Comets head coach Skelly but transferred back to Pines midway through the 2017 season.

Pines push: CJ Hodgson thinks Pines can join the promotion race. Picture: Paul Seeley

His stint with Comets was marred by an ankle injury that required surgery and it wasn’t until round five of the season that he was able to join the senior matchday squad. “I’ve known Jamie for a while now and I have a lot of respect for him. “He’s awesome as a coach but I had to go back to Pines and I won’t move on anymore. “I don’t think there would be a club without my parents and Stevie (Spencer) and I want to pay my respects to them for what they did and what they are still doing.” Hodgson can’t think of any better way to pay back the club mainstays than by winning promotion next year, a feat he feels is within the grasp of the senior squad. “Now we’ve all played together for a couple of years and if we can bring in a couple of experienced players I think we’ll be pushing towards the top end of the table rather than down near the bottom. “I think the future of Pines is bright, to be honest. “Things are starting to happen around the club with the new change rooms and other stuff that I can’t really talk about at the moment. “We’ve now got more people wanting to be involved and bringing in some of the Mauritian community

has been good for Pines. “I know that Chris (L’Enclume) and Cedric (Permal) want to come back next year and we have other Mauritians helping out around the club. “I think we can have a big year next year and I think we can get promoted.” One of the challenges facing Pines in 2018 is getting the better of former coach Verdun who won this year’s State 3 South-East title with a Knox City side featuring many exPines players. “It’s pretty much going to be Frankston Pines new boys versus Frankston Pines old boys. “It’s going to be a tough game but I know that our boys will be looking forward to it and I know there will be a lot of banter around it but when it comes down to the game it will be full on.” In other news, Southern United has appointed Aaron Myatt as senior coach while this year’s championship winning under-13s coaches Debbie Nichols and Emma Bracken are in charge of the under-14s. Myatt has just returned from a fortnight in Japan where he spent time at J-League giant Gamba Osaka studying the club’s player development cycles and its football philosophy.

Myatt was assistant coach of Southern’s Grand Final-winning under-15s in 2016 and was head coach of the under-15s this year. “Aaron has a fantastic rapport with players of all ages and he has shown strong development skills as a coach and is a great club man. He is the right fit for our club,” president Theresa Deas said. Southern is expected to announce the appointment of coaches for its under-16 and under-19 squads this week. FFV last week confirmed the structure of its NPL junior leagues for the 2018 season and Langwarrin’s debut in the elite competition will feature clashes with A-League giant Melbourne City at under-15 and under-18 levels. The junior NPL from under-12 to under-18 levels is broken into two leagues, east and west, and Langy finds itself in exalted company. The 18-team junior east league consists of Bentleigh Greens, Box Hill United, Dandenong City, Dandenong Thunder, Eastern Lions, FC Bulleen, Goulburn Valley Suns, Heidelberg United, Kingston City, Langwarrin, Melbourne City, Murray United, Northcote City, Nunawading City, Oakleigh Cannons, Port Melbourne, South Melbourne and Springvale White

Eagles. Murray United’s home ground is at Latrobe University’s AlburyWodonga campus and the eighthour round trip is one of Langy’s most challenging fixtures and may involve an overnight stay. It is the longest road trip in Victorian soccer. Langy hopes to finalise its under-12 through under-16 squads next week while the under-18 and under-20 trials kick off this week. Due to council work on Lawton Park some trials have been held at Baxter Park and this week’s trials also will be held there. “Baxter have really helped us out and I’d like to thank them particularly young Billy McLeod who’s been brilliant,” Langwarrin technical director Stephen Fisher said. The response to the trials has been excellent with 53 under-12 trialists, 54 under-13s, 46 under-14s, 57 under-15s and 38 under-16 trialists. Expressions of interest closed last Friday and there were over 100 trialists registered for the under-18s and under-20s. Meanwhile Skye United boss Billy Armour hopes to sign “five or six” new players for next season. The former central defender was tight-lipped as usual when pressed about their identities but they are all from the local area. Skye’s first ever player import, wide midfielder Jacob ScotteHatherly, is due to return to England in early December. Scotte-Hatherly was identified through player agency Soccer Smart Ltd and proved to be an astute signing. “Jacob is a very skilful player and a quality young man and although he’ll be a big loss we’ve decided that we’ll only go back to Soccer Smart if we can’t get what we want on the local market,” said Armour. Somerville held its annual presentation night recently and Patrick Acha won the under-21 best and fairest award, Liam McLoughlin won the men’s most improved and Rachael Dekker was the women’s most improved player. Matt Swanson was named senior players’ player of the year and the reserves players’ player of the year was Latham Horvath. The women’s players’ player of the year was Jayde Johnson and Liv Hamilton won the women’s coaches’ award. The senior men’s coaches’ award went to Joel Wade while Ryan Francis took out the reserves coaches’ award.

Kennedy called up for Carlton By Ben Triandafillou AFTER just her third season of football, 18-year-old Bridie Kennedy, of Dromana has been drafted to Carlton for the 2018 AFLW season. A standout player through both her talent and a pink ribbon she wears, the Year 12 Padua College student was selected to join the Blues at pick number 36 last Wednesday 18 October. Kennedy was interviewed by all four of the Victorian sides in the leadup to the draft but said she didn’t really expect to be picked up by Carlton. “I had no idea who I would get drafted to,” she said. “It came down to who actually wanted me and I was lucky enough to be one of Carlton’s picks.” While Kennedy celebrated with her parents and grandparents, there was just as much excitement built up at school with her friends eagerly watching on through a live broadcast.

“It was so amazing to see my friends support me and watch the draft,” Kennedy said. “It would have been a long wait for them but they are such a supportive group.” Having played “all over the shop” since starting out three years ago, Kennedy is likely to play as a running back liner for the Blues. “I started out as a ruckman but now I’m pretty small compared to some of the other girls,” she said. “I’ve been forward and played this year in the back line but hopefully I can be more of a running back liner for Carlton as I love to run.” Originally a representative basketball player for the Southern Peninsula Sharks, Kennedy switched codes in late 2014 when persuaded by a friend to give football a go. Kennedy joined the Dromana youth girls’ team and played representative football with the Dandenong Sting-

rays before making her way into the VFL Women’s this season playing for Cranbourne. Kennedy showed her athleticism at the AFLW Draft Combine two weeks ago where she undertook several fitness tests which included vertical jumps, sprinting, agility, 2km time trials and a yo-yo test (similar to a beep test). She was a stand-out there and was able to top both the 2km time trial and the Yo-Yo Test. “I was over the moon to be on the top for the two of them,” she said. Kennedy, whose VCE exams are rapidly nearing, has had a full plate over the last few months concentrating on both school and the draft but said the stress had now eased. “It’s been hard juggling both but I’m glad footy is now confirmed so I can focus on school and go back to footy afterwards,” she said.

Peninsula boxers continue successful run By Ben Triandafillou PENINSULA Boxing has continued their successful run ago with their boxers dominating their fights on back-to-back days. The gym was represented by professional boxers, Lochie ‘Bubba’ Higgins and Jai ‘El Fuego’ Alexander, at the Melbourne Pavilion on Friday 13 October before another four boxers competed at the Peninsula Boxing Cup the next day. Friday the 13th can be unlucky for some but both Higgins and Alexander continued their streak and defended their undefeated status. Alexander stopped his opponent in the first round and bought up his fifth victory in just 26 seconds. While, Higgins matched his stablemate with a technical knock-out in the third round, bringing up his third career win. Sitting in his corner was younger brother, Rueben Higgins, who was set to make his boxing debut the following day. The second running of the Peninsula Boxing Cup was held at the Mt Eliza Community Hall with around 300 people attending the event. Peninsula Boxing head coach, Marcos Amado, said it was a great day, with a good turnout and quality fights. “Last year ran well but this year improved as far as quality of bouts and the venue itself,” he said. “The venue was better suited with a smaller ring which created better atmosphere. You were

basically right up to the ring.” The gym had four boxers on the day with Jack Gipp headlining in the main event. “Jack is in great form,” Amado said. “He beat his opponent comprehensively and almost won in the second round. “He gave away 4kgs and just took his opponent apart.” Rueben ‘Hurricane’ Higgins made his debut against an experienced fighter but was defeated on decision. “It could have gone either way and to his credit he wants to back it up straight away and is set to fight in Tasmania on the weekend (Saturday 21 October),” Amado said. “When they lose their first fight they can either lose motivation or it can make them more eager, so it’s great to see him want to get back out there.” Father and daughter, Scott and Tyla McDonald, also had fights on the card with Tyla fighting an exhibition match. “Tyla fought a 17-year-old and was able to more than hold her own,” Amado said. “Scott came away with a well-deserved win with both fighters giving it their all.” Scott and Tyla are likely to have another fight this weekend with Scott looking at a Victorian Masters title. “If he wins, it will be the first father and daughter boxers to hold Victorian titles as far as I know, which would be huge,” Amado said.

By Ben Triandafillou THERE are now 10 times more obese children and teenagers in the world compared to 40 years ago – according to a global study of over 200 countries. A proactive healthy step has seen Michele Cavanagh, president of Bonbeach YCW Junior Netball Club, and committee members pledge to take a proactive approach to fostering a healthy culture at the junior netball club. They have recognised that in addition to promoting physical activity, they too have an opportunity to broaden and connect with players to encourage healthy food habits in an attempt to reduce poor lifestyle behaviours and conflicting messages that juniors can face. The first step in trying to improve the healthy culture at the club was to drop the common ‘lollies at halftime or at the end of a game’ mentality often seen at junior sport. As a replacement, fruit will continue to be offered midway through and at the end of games. Another initiative which has been altered by the committee was the ‘chocolate drive’ fundraiser that is held annually which will now be replaced with various other fundraising initiatives such as raffles. Local health coach and ambassador to Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution and That Sugar Film Maddie Race was invited to the club in lateAugust to conduct a one-hour educational healthy eating workshop for players in replacement to their normal training session. “Players were educated on how to read food labels and in particular identifying the amount of sugar in popular kid’s food,” Race said. “We also did a mindful eating exercise and completed a simple food quiz, where we were able to collect valuable data for the club and individual teams on the current food habits.” As part of the workshops held by Race, families received a digital copy of her ebook Healthy

FRANKSTON Croquet Club held back-to-back events which bought together players of all standards, two weeks ago. A Seniors Day was held on Thursday 12th October with 33 senior players coming to “give it a go”. The next day, Frankston Croquet Club hosted the Frankston Open Doubles Tournament, which was

eating guide, kids playing sport edition to help them understand the impact food choices have on their daily life, mood, performance and recovery. Race said she is passionate about inspiring mums, dads and kids to get back in the kitchen and cook using real ingredients to create healthy meals. “Healthy and thriving sporting communities extend past training and game day. As a society, where childhood obesity is at epidemic rates, we need to take a more proactive approach when it comes to food options presented to children,” she said. “By removing conflicting messages and fostering a positive healthy dialogue to support training and game day as Bonbeach YCW Junior Netball Club is currently undertaking is the positive start that we need. “We are living on way too much processed, convenient food that line supermarket shelves and often deemed ‘healthy’ because of poor labelling laws and hidden salt and sugar. “This food is often cheaper and directly marketed to busy families. This food is often seen at weekend sport canteens and needs to change.”

again successful, drawing a large crowd with players coming from Sandringham and as far away as Lilydale to compete in the tournament. Neil Johnston and Ken Duggan won the tournament with Kay Revell and Ross Bayley coming runners-up. Southern Peninsula News 24 October 2017
