A tale of three jetties Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au
Jetty alert: Beach walkers Julie Condon, Alex and Deidre Greig, Margaret Mather and Frank Girardin have noted changes to infrastructure at Sullivan Bay, Sorrento. Picture: Yanni
PLANNING and regulatory authorities are running two separate investigations into the demolition and rebuilding of private jetties on a public beach at Sorrento. Work has been stopped on a replacement for a demolished jetty while inquiries are conducted by Heritage Victoria and Mornington Peninsula Shire. The shire says it is awaiting a planning permit application for a new jetty and is investigating the construction of two new jetties in Sullivan Bay. Heritage Victoria, the state government agency which administers the Heritage Act, says it has “initiated enforcement proceedings” over the works at Iluka, on the historic Collins Settlement site. A spokesperson for Heritage Victoria said the site is on the Victorian Heritage Register and extends 50 metres out to sea from the high water mark “because it has the potential to contain archaeological artefacts associated with the historic 1883 settlement”, “[We] are still gathering information and seeking to contact the landowner before any taking any further action,” the spokesperson said. The shire is also conducting a planning compliance investigation into two new jetties at Sullivan Bay following complaints by beach walkers. “A planning permit is required to construct a replacement jetty in this location,” the shire’s planning and building director David Bergin said. “No planning application has been lodged as yet but, once one is received, the height of the structure and relationship to the foreshore will form part of the consideration. “Additional permissions are required from Heritage Victoria and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, to demolish and replace the jetty.” Sorrento residents Julie Condon and Margaret Mather were “keen to know what was going on” when they
noticed the Iluka jetty had been “demolished overnight and the next day construction of a replacement jetty was well advanced”. “The builders assured us that permits for the works had been obtained from the relevant authorities, and that the building footprint was the same as the original structure,” Ms Condon said. She said the new jetty posts were lower than the originals which would curtail beach access, mainly to the elderly, who cannot bend low enough to

pass underneath. The jetty is one of three privately leased jetties in Sullivan Bay. “The jetty works show a disregard for regulations that seek to preserve heritage and public amenity,” Ms Condon said. “Measurements of the framework of the new structure show it is significantly lower than the former Iluka jetty, whereas any new structure must conform to the original footprint.” Nearby, Tideways jetty is high for

Mr Condon said the rebuilt jetties were “already restricting public access to a popular beach and much loved historic place that belongs to everyone”. “The posts are too low and need to be replaced with higher ones so grandparents and others can walk safely beneath the jetties as was always intended,” she said. “This sense of entitlement by a few individuals does not belong on Australian beaches.”

beach goers accessing the foreshore. Ms Condon says a third jetty rebuilt two years ago is 50 centimetres lower than the original. Signs saying Private Jetty, Keep Out further compound the problems for walkers coming from Cameron’s Bight along the Dorothy Houghton walk around The Eastern Sister headland. The News has been told the Department of Environment Lands Water and Planning has directed the owner to remove the signs.

SAFETY Beach-Dromana Men’s Shed hosted the launch of Men’s Shed Week at its Pier Street headquarters, Tuesday 24 September. The event, on behalf of the Australian Men’s Shed Association, included a breakfast at 8am and lunch at 12pm. Safety Beach-Dromana Men’s Shed secretary John Whalley said about 250 attended the day, including Flinders
MP Greg Hunt and Nepean MP Chris Brayne and the mayor Cr David Gill. A diverse range of exhibits and trade stalls included demonstrations such as wood turning, pottery, beekeeping, vintage car and boat displays, and blacksmithing, as well as a mega-meat raffle and lucky door prize. Twenty-five members of the Australian Welsh Male Choir, based at
Baxter, sang seven songs to entertain guests in the workshop. “People came from near and far,” Mr Whalley said. “The choir were fabulous. It was a really great day.” A highlight for members of Point Nepean Men’s shed was receiving a $5000 cheque from the RACV for a new van to transport volunteers and material to onsite projects.

Southern Peninsula News 2 October 2019
Powering up for summer Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au FIVE diesel-powered generators are being installed this month to help avoid summer power shortages or blackouts across the Mornington Peninsula. The temporary power sources will be installed by energy generation and distribution company GreenSync at Rye, Boneo and Dromana and removed when demand drops in April. While batteries or “renewables and demand response technologies” may eventually replace the generators, me-
tering devices, a switchboard, concrete foundations and underground cabling will be permanent. When approving the generators at their 16 September planning services committee meeting Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors agreed to keep pressuring the federal and state governments to pay for “plug-in grid scale batteries” to eventually replace the generators. “The equipment will be made available for the emergency generation of power when the network experiences extreme demand, 24 hours, seven days a week,” senior planner Veronica Lyn-
gcoln stated in a report to councillors. “Once the main network triggers extreme demand, the generators are ‘switched on’ systematically. Ms Lyngcoln said GreenSync had an agreement to supply extra power to United Energy during peak periods of electricity demand over summer. The locations for the generators are 605 Limestone and 115-141 Browns roads, Boneo, Boneo; 340 Browns Road, Rye; and 163 and 133 (the Dromana Drive-In), Nepean Highway, Dromana. Neighbouring property owners who were notified of the GreenSync plans
raised no objections to the generators, which are all being installed on rural lots within the green wedge zone. Melbourne Water, which manages a property opposite one of the Dromana generators, recommended a site environmental management plan be undertaken, but GreenSync had already submitted one. Ms Lyngcoln said using “relatively large rural lots” for the generators “presents a suitable planning outcome with minimal off-site amenity impacts, which could otherwise be an issue if sited in an urban residential area”. Operation of the generators has also
been cleared by the shire’s environmental health officer and complies with planning regulations. The environmental management plan prepared for GreenSync by Erias Group says identifying that each of the five generator sites “presents relatively low risk with respect to noise, air quality, soils, vegetation, flora and fauna, spills and contamination, waste, traffic, vehicle access, Aboriginal cultural heritage, flooding, utilities and land restoration”. Noise barriers will be installed alongside the generator at 340 Browns Road and both Dromana generators.
Shire wants more control over apartments Eye of the beholder: Concrete and bricks have been used for external cladding on the latest apartment blocks at Martha Cove, Safety Beach.

wood is in response to a Better Apartments in Neighbourhoods discussion paper sent to municipalities for comment by DELWP. Ms Northwood said most proposed changes to the guidelines were “considered positive” for the peninsula, but added that apartments had the “potential to significantly impact on the [peninsula’s] valued and unique landscape
LIVE
DEVELOPERS may eventually find it more expensive to build apartments on the Mornington Peninsula than in municipalities closer to Melbourne. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors want apartments on the peninsula built with materials that protect towns’ “valued character”. They say apartments designed for inner suburbs may not be suited to the peninsula. Changes to existing apartment guidelines proposed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) recommend using “low maintenance and durable” materials. However, shire councillors want developers to use “coastal” materials, such as stone and wood. While being more expensive and not regarded as being low maintenance, stone and wood would avoid “a very homogenous built form outcome” for apartments. While not stated by the shire, expensive apartments may also be more in keeping with the real estate agents’ mantra of offering “resort-style living” to peninsula property buyers. The shire also wants to discourage developers from using “large amounts of the same cladding material, particularly rendered brick/block work and aluminium cladding”. In a submission to DELWP adopted unanimously by councillors at the 16 September planning services committee meeting, the shire says bricks and aluminium cladding “are generally used on lower quality developments [and have unappealing] ‘bulky’ built form outcomes”. The submission prepared for councillors by senior planner Leigh North-
… as embodied in the Mornington Peninsula Localised Planning Statement (Victorian Government, 2014)”. The discussion paper lists five policy aims for new apartment developments, including the need for: n Green space in common areas of buildings, which preferably includes trees for shade and urban cooling, and landscaping that softens the street;
n High quality building facades made from robust, durable and attractive materials that complement surrounding buildings and provide visual interest; n Protection from wind impacts on surrounding streets and open space, so the spaces are comfortable to use and likely to be used more often; n Attractive, engaging streets that enhance the amenity, safety and walk-
ability of the neighbourhood; and
n Better managed construction im-
pacts of building work on existing neighbourhoods. Ms Northwood said proposed changes that needed “further clarification and consideration” before being supported by the shire included communal open space and building appearance. Keith Platt

NEWS DESK Police patrol
With Stephen Taylor
Two charged over burglaries, thefts TWO men were charged late last week over a series of burglaries and thefts in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula in the past three weeks. A Rosebud man, 23, and a Port Arlington man, 32, were arrested at a Mornington McDonald’s car park by members of the Somerville Highway Patrol and Mornington police, 11.30pm, Thursday 26 September. The allegedly stolen car they were driving had been seen earlier at Mt Martha and again in the restaurant car park. The Rosebud man is facing 15 charges, including aggravated carjacking, firearms offences, theft of a vehicle and handling stolen goods. The Port Arlington man is facing 47 charges, including burglary, theft of, and theft from, motor vehicles. Detectives say the offences were committed between 6 and 26 September, and included an incident at Frankston on 17 September in which a man was allegedly hit on the forehead with a hand gun at a Nepean Highway service station. The arrests formed part of Operation Night Eagle, a Southern Metro Division 4 operation focused on recidivist offenders. It aimed to reduce high harm and high-impact crimes, including vehicle-related crime.
The pair appeared before a bail justice on Friday and were remanded in custody. The Rosebud man was due to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Monday 30 September). The other man will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date.
Petrol theft A MAN filled his car with $64 in fuel at a Baxter service station and drove off without paying, 1.30pm, Thursday 29 August. The white VR/VS Holden Commodore he was driving had stolen plates. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
Breaking in BURGLARS entered two houses in the one street in Mt Eliza, overnight Saturday 21 September. A couple living in a house in Arundel Court awoke to find a HTC mobile phone and iPhone 3 missing from a home office. They were valued at $600. Offenders also entered a garage and rifled through drawers at another Arundel Court house. Nothing was stolen.

Sandbags under repair THE Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) is repairing the sandbag seawall at Portsea front beach. Sandbags were installed at the beach in 2010 to try to prevent further erosion. The pre-summer repair work will not affect pedestrian access to the pier except when trucks are using the pier
access lane. “The sandbag wall was established in 2010 and has since helped protect the Portsea foreshore against the impacts of storm surges, waves, tides and wind,” DELWP Port Phillip regional director Stephen Chapple said. “The outer layer of the of the wall is in poor condition, as a result of wear and tear over time. The repair
works will see the front face of the sandbag wall replaced to ensure it continues to provide protection to the foreshore.” Mr Chapple said works would be carried out Monday to Saturday over the next three to four months to minimise any inconvenience during Christmas and January.

Signs indicate a town divided over airfield TENSIONS are rising between those for and against the Tyabb airfield expansion, with one long-time Tyabb resident, who did not wish to be named, saying the town has “never been so divided – it’s getting very ugly”. While tensions have been simmering on and off for years, the issue has reached a new peak with vandals destroying, and in one case burning, signs opposing any expansion of the airfield. Up to 100 blue and white signs opposing any expansion of the airfield were erected throughout the Tyabb area, most on private property. Two weeks ago airfield supporters printed and distributed coloured posters supporting the airfield (“Posters at play in airfield saga” The News 18/9/19). The latest dispute arose after the Peninsula Aero Club and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council quarrelled over “missing” permits for businesses abutting the airfield. (“Permit row grounds airfield” The News 11/6/19). The shire says it is working through the issue, although it is still awaiting a mastger plan for the airfield. A stand-off over operating hours led to the club threatening to cancel the long-running Tyabb Air Show, but this has since been averted and the 2020 air show will be held in March. The shire issued a news release last Thursday saying it had “approved and issued the Peninsula Aero Club’s (PAC) permits for the Tyabb 2020 Airshow”. “We were always committed to seeing the air show proceed,” the mayor Cr David Gill said. “It is a great event for the peninsula, providing significant charitable donations for the local com-
munity and a showcase for aero enthusiasts.” Cr Julie Morris described the air show as “a staple event for the peninsula that focuses on giving back to the community”. The air show permits can be inspected by the public at the shire’s Mornington office during office hours. The aero club held an “open day” at the airfield over the 15-16 June weekend and posters supporting the continued operation of the airfield are being displayed throughout the area. Aero club president Jack Vevers said mid-month the club was “very grateful to the Tyabb and surrounding communities for the “overwhelming show of support by some fantastic people. “The airport plays a vital role in hosting emergency services to protect all of the peninsula and the community understands and values this,” he said. However, the Tyabb resident said there were “bad vibes in the town” and people opposed to the airfield expansion were being made to feel “very uncomfortable”. Many of the 100 or so people displaying the blue and white anti-expansion signs were “being intimidated and had started taking their signs down”. Fearing attacks on their property some were installing security cameras but were wary of making reports of vandalised signs to police. One blue sign was reportedly knocked over by a car and set alight over the weekend 21-22 September. A pensioner, 76, wrote to the mayor Cr David Gill reporting the incident and saying she was frightened for her safety “after Friday night’s violence and the hate posts on Facebook”.
She said she had decided to take her blue antiairfield sign indoors at night and put it up again in the morning. “Many [signs] have been taken down from time to time – not by us – but recently there has been a concerted effort by pro-airport people to remove most of them,” she said. “The airport people are putting up their own signs but they should not be removing ours.” The woman said she had been warned by neighbours to remove her sign at night for fears it would be vandalised. Neither Mr Vevers nor Cr Gill could be contacted by deadline for comment. Stephen Taylor and Keith Platt

The 11-metre humpback carcass bore tha marks of bites from large sharks and was covered in crustaceans as it lay high and dry on rocks, Monday 23 September. “We could see the sharks lunging and spray coming off them, their fins rising up out of the water – it was pretty full on to watch,” said environmental advocate Josie Jones who first saw the whale drifting in on the Sunday night. DELWP incident spokesperson Kylie Hyland said: “The beach is still open, and people are advised to keep their distance. “The whale will remain on the beach while DELWP, with Parks Victoria, manage the situation. “Moving a whale is a complex task and many options are being discussed. The whale could weigh up to 20 tonnes.” Ms Hyland said whale remains were protected by law and must not be interfered with. “There is also a possibility of pathogens from the whale carcass that could be harmful to humans,” she said. Emergency Management Victoria has put out a warning about sharks in the area. For up to date warnings check emv.vic.gov.au Cetacean scientist Sue Mason said the whale must have died shortly before it beached as the carcase had not begun to decompose. Scientists estimate that about 33,000 humpbacks migrate along the east coast to and from their feeding grounds in the Antarctic to the warmer waters of the Great Barrier Reef, where they breed. This population increases by about 10 per cent each year. A separate population migrates along the West Australian coast. This humpback may have been on its way south to the Antarctic to feed over the summer. Humpbacks can grow to 16 metres, with their pectoral fins being roughly one third the length of their body. The best places to see humpbacks along the Victorian coast are Wilsons Promontory and from high vantage points along the coast. Sightings by citizen scientists are regularly posted on the Two Bays Whale Project Facebook page. “As we know, it is important to keep our ocean clean to reduce our impact on these beautiful creatures,” Dr Mason said. Any sightings of entangled whales should be reported to the whale and dolphin emergency hotline on 1300 136 017. Stephen Taylor

Divers’ quest for the ‘dragon’ RECREATIONAL divers are being urged to join a citizen science dragon hunt. The call to join in the research is not associated with any mythical creature, but the weedy seadragon. Although the weedy seadragon is the state’s marine emblem, little is known about how many of them reside in Port Phillip. “Weedy seadragon numbers in some locations in Australia have declined, however the population in our own backyard, Port Phillip Bay, has rarely been studied and we do not know if they are suffering the same fate” Victorian National Parks Association (VNPA) ReefWatch coordinator Kade Mills said. “The first step in protecting this iconic and unique species, one of only three species of seadragon on the planet, is to determine how many there are. Ms Mills said divers were being asked to send in images of any weedy seadragons they spot “so we can get an idea of the size of the population”. The Dragon Quest citizen science project launched by the VNPA’s Reefwatch program and supported by dive operators.
More than 50 divers and snorkelers have submitted more than 3000 images. University of Technology Sydney Professor of Marine Ecology David Booth, who has been studying of weedy seadragons for 15 years, says they are “unique to southern Australia and of worldwide interest, yet we know precious little about them”. Images submitted by the public are processed using pattern software to recognise the unique markings on the side of each seadragon, like a fingerprint. This means individual weedy seadragons can be identified without the use of tags or physical interference. A seadragon named Elena M (after the diver who took the image) was found to have moved more than four kilometres from Portsea pier to the Sorrento ferry wharf in less than five months. “This may be the first recorded evidence of a seadragon moving this far,” Ms Mills said. “They have generally been found to stay within a couple of hundred meters of the location where they are first sighted and are very slow movers.” Details: vnpa.org.au/programs/dragon-quest.

Recognising efforts to save the past A LIMESTONE cottage in Ocean Beach Road, Sorrento, and cargo shed at have jointly won the Creative Reuse of a Heritage Place category in this year’s Mornington Peninsula Heritage Awards. The 1905 limestone cottage Carmel was originally run as a boarding house by two women and is now used as a reception area for holiday accommodation at the rear of the building. Women are running the venture these days, too – Philippa Chalkitis and Allison Manning – which is continuing the tradition in both senses. The cottage has two rooms for community use and sits in front of extensive accommodation areas on Ocean Beach Road. The cargo shed restored by Flinders and District Historical Society is one of the few bow-roof structures remaining in Victoria and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. The shed, costing 180 pounds to build at the end of the pier in 1871, has been moved closer to the shore to enable easier access. The shed has had 3000 visitors since January. The cargo shed also won an award for signs explaining the history of the port, early interaction with the Bunurong/Boon wurrung people, the importance of the port for coastal navigation, Flinders cable station, which connected the mainland to Tasmania in 1869, fishing conservation and coastal defence. Garrisons have been housed at Flinders in both world wars.
The Mornington Peninsula branch of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) and Mornington Peninsula Shire announced the winners of the 2019 heritage awards on Friday 13 September. An individual award was presented to Murray Adams for digitising more than 100,000 photographs in the collections of the historical societies across the peninsula. His work included creating the document, Who are these people and why are they honoured in this way? which identifies peninsula reserves and those they were named after. Awards were presented by Cr Si-
mon Brooks and Kristin Stegley, chair of the trust’s board of management. “Clever and industrious people restoring and maintaining heritage parts of the peninsula should be celebrated – heritage places are an integral part of the Mornington Peninsula community,” the mayor Cr David Gill said. Cr Brooks said he had been impressed with the projects “and the dedication of the people involved with preserving our heritage”. President of the trust’s peninsula branch Judy Walsh said the quality of entries for the awards “bodes well for the future of our built and environmental form of heritage places”.

Children and parents want action on climate change Children do know (“Children don’t know” Letters 4/9/19). They are well educated by their parents and children’s rights are abused in so many ways, for example, generations of greed squandering the Earths resources so we are eating into our natural capital. They are guided, not misguided, by parents like me who go to these events with their children demanding action for this climate emergency. Many retired gentlemen have enjoyed the luxury of a highly commercial background where women and children are seen and not heard. Close enough to departing this mortal coil not to worry about climate change affecting them. Scientific understanding in the community is very low. Take the knowledge about each AGL gas shipment (if they come to a terminal at Crib Point) bleaching half a billion litres of seawater from Western Port every day. It is fact that sea level rise is happening. This is why the Yaringa Harbour development approval was pushed back 15 metres by DELWP due to climate modelling. The beach boxes are threatened by storm surges and severe weather events in Port Philip (“MPs disagree with experts over beach’s survival” The News 28/8/19). Entering into a Punch and Judy show makes no sense. What makes sense is that the lungs of the earth, our forests, are not producing oxygen when they are destroyed. Burning fossil fuels and modern farming practices create methane and nitrates that pollute oceans and heat the planet. There is a formula that says how hot it gets depending on carbon dioxide levels. This creates faster winds pulling up more moisture drying lands then dumping water. But you are not interested in facts and children standing up for their future. Sue King, Somers
Australia’s shame What is there to say about our prime minister [Scott Morrison] whose preference to attend an “innovation hub“ [in Chicago] instead of the climate change forum [at the United Nations in New York]?. I feel shame for my country to be expressing such a shallow approach to the greatest challenge of the future. The anger shown by [Swedish schoolgirl] Greta Thunberg is an honest declaration to the blindness of [US President] Donald Trump and his followers. Scott Morrison’s use of flattery is despicable: to be at an “innovation hub” is an insult to Australia. Patricia Rayner, Capel Sound
Praise for climate activists I have just returned from the student climate change protest at Mornington (20 September) and commend everyone for standing up to be heard. Too many are still so ignorant of the consequences of climate change and, unless this is publicly raised in these visual demonstrations, they will not be informed (“Hundreds call for action on climate” The News 25/9/19). Mornington MP David Morris (or a representative) didn’t even come out of his office to acknowledge the concerns of the protesters, yet the politicians have just given themselves an 11 per cent or $20,000 pay rise in the state parliament. I think it is unrepresentative, lazy and rude. Truly, one has to wonder what politicians are gettingpaid for, particularly when so many working people are getting cheated of their wages and superannuation; minimum pay rises at the most; and many others can’t even get jobs or enough work to pay the bills. Worse when the Liberal Party’s support of fossil fuels and lack of action on climate change is destroying our region, our state and our nation. Kaye Mackay, Rye
Change is real I am not going to mention names, only the subject matter of letters mentioning climate change. I was criticised because I mentioned, incorrectly, that the Okojull Glacier was in Greenland when it is in Iceland. For that, I apologise (“And now, the news” Letters 4/9/19).
There was no comment from the writer showing concern that the glacier had disappeared. There were no comments about melting Icebergs and glaciers or the inundation that I mentioned. Nor was there a comment regarding the burning Amazon forests. All we got was reference to a survey that was five years out of date and denigration of a 16-year-old girl. Another letter writer is obviously of the “old school” where children should be seen and not heard (“Children don’t know” 4/9/19). These kids are far more intelligent and have more savvy than he gives them credit for. I talk to my grandkids and we can have quite lively informative debates at times. If the writer sat down and talked to his grandkids like people he might, just might, get a pleasant surprise. The [Port Phillip] channel deepening was a great mistake and the bay is suffering for it, but I’m more concerned along with millions of others over the natural inundation through ice melting at an alarming rate. Just a couple of other things for the deniers to digest: The Australian Medical Association (not exactly a loony left oganisation) has declared climate change as a health emergency. It claims “climate change will cause injury and mortality from increasingly severe weather events”. Russian scientists have discovered five new Islands in their area due to the melting ice. John Cain, McCrae
Watching society Pondering water bills, service charges and other authorities’ charges. Highway robbery. What exactly is Australia’s China policy? Answer: whatever Donald Trump, via Rupert Murdoch, decides it is. Cigarette prices at $1.35 a smoke. Patiently waiting a supermarket special on spam. A budget surplus is a book figure, and a lie or, if it suits a fallible mind, think along the lines of paying Peter and Paul. An appeal to non-smokers. Vaping is risky. Kindly do not practice this in the dedicated smoking areas. My favourite question for Liberal voters: “What are your party’s policies?”. If Adam Goodes and Stan Grant came out with their opinions of the Morrison government’s attitude to race relations I’d be more likely to listen to them. When I was a kid the smart kids went to Northcote high school. The not so smart kids went to Collingwood technical school. Turned out the not so smart were the smartest. Cliff Ellen, Rye
Power shortage “Recharged - and your pick-up is on the way” (The News 3/9/19) was rather like an advertisement for electric cars, presenting only the most excellent aspects and omitting the negatives. The article begs a few questions: Who pays for the free electricity and why? Are electric cars that hard to sell? Will free recharges be available for 10 years and what about road taxes? Why does no-one ever mention car battery voltage - a lethal 320-400 volts, or higher? Electric cars are not emission-free, the Victorian grid power is three-quarters coal or gas fired, particularly at night. The 22kw “fast” charger mentioned needs more than an hour to recharge the 28 kilowatthour battery in that compact car. Family sized cars typically have 60-100kwh, and larger, batteries. You have a single car sitting on a “bowser” for an hour, maybe three. Sure, there are superfast chargers around, but they can be detrimental, only charge to 80 per cent, and still take 30-90 minutes. I love the concept of the simple electric car, but only when they develop a small, lightweight, cheap, high capacity, quick- charging battery, together with the necessary technology to transfer 200kwh from the “bowser”, through a cable into the car, in 10 minutes, will I buy one. I hope to have one in my next life, or the one after. My household uses about 60kwh of power a week. One single recharge for a family car

would be nearly double that. To have all electric cars, Victoria would need to triple its electricity generation. We presently have power shortages and blackouts predicted for this summer. We desperately need another Hazelwood power station, or two, immediately, not electric cars. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
Coastal instability So our 11 [Mornington Peninsula Shire] councillors have joined their inner-city mates and declared a “climate emergency” on the peninsula. I’ve tried looking at their backgrounds to find who among them is the climate scientist, but came up empty handed. About the closest I could find was Cr Sam Hearn citing cliff slips, beach box damage and sand loss at Mt Martha North beach as proof of this impending disaster (“MPs disagree with experts over beach’s survival” The News 28/8/19). It really is annoying when these five-minute locals come in and preach to those of us whose families have used these beaches for more than 100 years. One of the first jobs my father did on leaving school was assisting his elder brother and father on clearing the clay from a cliff collapse below Parer Street, Mt Martha in 1920/21 with draught horses and scoops. In the early 1960s other major collapses occurred at Craigie Road and North of Fossil Beach ( Foster’s slip that took out the Esplanade to the centre dividing line ) and is on the Selwyns Fault line. Also at this time, a solid brick changing pavilion and toilet block together with app 20 bathing boxes below Hawker St were destroyed in a storm. This led to the erection of the seawall between Craigie Rd and Helena St which has more than anything else led to the loss of sand at Mount Martha North beach. In 1970/71 other major collapses occurred below Prescott Ave and Morrisons Avenue. If you want to know about sea level rises at Mt Martha, why not ask someone who sat on the beach 60 years ago rather than listen to hypothetical theories from someone in Europe? Michael G Free, Mt Martha
Curtailing freedoms Assertions by Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party MP Jeff Bourman about the evil animal rights movement are very questionable (“MP pushes harder line against animal rights activists” The News 16/9/19). I can understand that the party, true to its NRA-inspired dogma of complete individual freedom, would be upset by any attempts to show up the unsavoury side of animal husbandry in our country. But to give away ever more of our democratic rights to dissent is playing into the hands of our ever more brazen security services attempting to turn Australia into a police state, with the help of the major parties. Without the dedication and sometimes over eagerness of our animal rights groups, many of the transgressions by rogue businesses dealing with animals would never come to light. How the freedom loving shooters and fishers can look their constituents in the eyes after promoting regressive laws to curtail freedoms of the individual is beyond me. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach
Majority rules Let’s pretend that you are just getting ready to board a plane to Timbuktu that seats 150 people and 148 of those are aeronautical engineers on their way to a convention on air safety. The other person is a consultant (Billbo) for the airline company who designed and built the airplane. As the boarding call is made the 148 aeronautical engineers refuse to board after noticing the plane is a slopbucket 394AZ which has a dismal safety record and this is the last of 150 built that has not yet crashed with all on board loosing their lives Billbo, however, being paid by the manufacturer to provide safety reports, ridicules and berates the 148 engineers for not boarding. Are you going to board the plane? No? Then why would you discount the 99 per cent of climate engineers on their findings on global warming and its root cause? Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
Hasten to Hastings As an old pensioner who likes to get out and about weather permitting and with seasonal climate change now allowing the morning temperatures to regularly exceed 12 degrees, I often go for a drive. I live well away from the sea and often drive to the coast and walk around the shops and buy lunch; if it is market day that is a bonus. I frequently visit Hastings as unlike other towns there is plenty of unmetered parking along Marine Parade and a pleasant well maintained grassy area with picnic tables around Pelican Park with lovely walking areas and lots of attractions like the jetty, boat harbour, colourful yachts with their clanking rigging, cafes and a clean public toilet. Walking up the main street with it’s wide footpaths I was amazed to find around 60 per cent or so of the shops empty with a prime retail shop spot now occupied by a funeral parlour overseeing the departure of almost everything else bar utility shops and cafes and only a couple of market stalls now they have been brought back from the K-mart area after the council’s extensive improvements to street furniture and bays. I find this a shamefully underutilised town with almost no pedestrian traffic bar the occasional swish past of a few mobility scooters. As no retail here seems able to survive a winter season without the crowds of visitors and holidaymakers I hope some short leases will be offered to revive the main street so the town looks lived in again. Hopefully they will return soon as the much-hyped recession is not due to strike till late next year. Clive Edmead, Boronia
Crime claims questioned It seems that Hastings MP Neale Burgess is pretending to be a “cop on the beat”, which is an insult to our local police ((“Law and order” Letters 25/9/19). He claims that “due to escalating crime rate locally and the complete lack of response from the state government”. I want him to produce facts about what he claims. The facts are the crime rate continues to decrease and it has nothing to do with him but the work of our wonderful police force. Noel Pullen, Hastings Southern Peninsula News

Heel pain in the morning YOU’VE just started putting in the extra miles, walking or running to get fit, and suddenly putting weight on the base of the foot, near the heel makes it ache, and makes more training a painful prospect. That sharp pain in your heel can be a symptom of plantar fasciitis, a condition of the connective plantar fascia tissue in your foot, and traditionally very difficult to treat. Physiotherapist Melanie Jones says Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury that can feel as though you have a pebble in your shoe. At Back In Motion Balnarring, we have several solutions for this condition. Firstly, it is important to look at your whole lower limb biomechanics. As a result, we can work on your strength and flexibility in your leg and foot, prescribe orthotics, tape and teach taping, and use massage and ultrasound to reduce inflammation. We have a unique way of mobilizing your foot and teaching “foot core stability” to reduce pressure on the plantar fascia. Apart from the above solutions, there is a newer healing technology that is making a profound difference to Plantar fasciitis sufferers. Practice owner and physiotherapist, Paul Rowson says shockwave therapy is often useful, because the Plantar fascia is a connective tissue,
not a muscle. “It puts a significant shockwave through the tissues you apply it to,” Mr Rowson says. “It is a pressure wave which brings blood flow to the area. Tendons and connective tissue do not have much blood supply and can take a long time to heal. Shockwave artificially stimulates the healing of the tendon”. Shockwave therapy can also be used on Achilles tendonitis, tennis and golfer’s elbow, and rotator cuff tendon problems, and is usually most effective on long term chronic problems, rather than acute injuries. Both physios say that Shockwave is not the first line of treatment for injured patients. Physiotherapy and graded exercise are more likely in the first instance. For more stubborn conditions, shockwave has shown good results in other Back In Motion clinics. “The evidence at the moment suggests between three to five treatments are required, but most people should see an improvement within three sessions. It has a 90% success rate,”Ms Jones says. The Shockwave therapy is administered for a three-minute period to the affected area during consecutive weekly appointments. “It is a bit of an uncomfortable sensation,”Ms Jones says, “like most physio hands-on treatments with a little discomfort during the treatment.”
Mr Rowson says,” After each session, most people get a significant reduction of pain and symptoms. Long term it stimulates healing, short term it reduces pain.” “Probably the best thing is, the effects are long lasting. It stops a lot of people having more invasive things like surgery or injections. The treatment is considered safe, but can produce skin reddening or bruising, short term pain, and cannot be used on people taking blood thinning medications or with bleeding disorders.” “It is important to know that shock wave has a long-term effect. Most of the time you have good outcomes without having to do further treatment.” says Mr Rowson.

Life starts at 50 HAS the family home become a pain to maintain with the kids no longer around to help mow the lawns or clear the gutters? Perhaps you’re contemplating a move to something more manageable but don’t want to retire from the things that make you happy? Well thanks to two luxury developments in Melbourne’s Mornington Peninsula with no stamp duty, conveyancing fees, or ongoing council rates to pay, there’s never been a better time to downsize to a bigger life and enjoy the fruits of your hard work. Lifestyle Bittern and Lifestyle Hastings offers new opportunities for fun and friendship in a secure community of working, semiretired and retired people over 50. Homeowners enjoy 5-star resort-style facilities set in fully landscaped and maintained gardens, such as an indoor heated pool and spa, cinema, gym, library and computer centre, bowling green, alfresco BBQ dining space and a community bus for visits out and about town. Built by Todd Devine Homes, all contemporary-styled homes feature quality fixtures and fittings, landscaped front and back gardens and split-system heating and cooling. Front gardens are maintained by the community gardener, leaving homeowners more time to relax and do more of what they love. Homeowners can spend their spare time enjoying activities like yoga, aerobics classes, dancing, woodwork or attend wellness seminars and
other social calendar events such as cocktail happy hours, karaoke, and trivia nights. All of which might just represent a new beginning for those who are young at heart and deserving of a little luxury, with enough “wowfactor” to make the kids just a bit jealous. A community management team lives onsite to oversee the community and help homeowners with many of the small but important administrative elements of daily life. This is also a wonderful enabler for those who like to travel, as you can rest assured that when you go on holidays, your front garden is being maintained, your on-site Community Managers are keeping an eye on things, and you can have the confidence of living within a safe and secure gated community. Aside from amazing facilities and features, homeowners at 18 Lifestyle locations around Victoria describe the feeling of settling into their community of likeminded neighbours as an embrace. According to Allan and Judith, at Lifestyle Hastings, living the life you deserve is about so much more than wonderful facilities and fun activities to keep you busy. “It’s the neighbourhood. We have a sense of neighbourhood like when we were young.” Lifestyle Hastings and Lifestyle Bittern offers the perfect blend of a relaxed location amongst a cosmopolitan lifestyle, with public transport, shopping and dining attractions as well as local wineries.

Experience the boutique retirement dream at Mountain View Leongatha MOUNTAIN View Leongatha is a boutique lifestyle retirement village. It will only have 45 villas on completion and is very unique compared to the many larger villages that exist. It is for this reason that many have made the move into this exclusive community. A lifestyle village for the active retiree or semi-retired who embraces life. Currently, Mountain View Leongatha has 43 residents occupying 26 villas. Mountain View Leongatha offers resort living everyday with the Community Centre operational right from the start which in turn has brought new residents in sooner rather than later. Family and friends are often seen using the saltchlorinated pool, bowling green, lounge/dining and games areas – it really is the hub of many activities. It is also a pet friendly village. Much thought was given to the interior design of the Villas which include 24 hour emergency call systems, contemporary kitchens, stylish living areas, spacious bathrooms and comfortable bedrooms and parking spaces or garages. The focus of building the villas was to enhance your lifestyle, security and freedom. Mountain View Leongatha helps people personalise their retirement, offering two financial options to suit your budget. The money saved when buying in at a lower price because we are regional, allows residents the opportunity to invest their savings and fund their lifestyle. We can provide assistance to help you understand the legal, financial and
service aspects when considering the benefits of a lifestyle change and answer any queries you may have regarding retirement living. Mountain View Leongatha is a lifestyle investment. We have had many residents move from the likes of Merimbula, Mount Martha, Bendigo, Lilydale & Pakenham. Many have chosen Leongatha as their new address because they know what South Gippsland has to offer – they may have holidayed here in the past or have just decided to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city yet not be too far to return to Melbourne for day trips. Many have decided on the sea-change, tree-change and me-change. Leongatha township is a lovely country town with a range of facilities and great local hospital which recently had a $30m redevelopment. Many great day trips are available within the Gippsland area and Melbourne is very accessible if the city beckons. Travel seems to be high on the list of things to do. Only a 30 minute trip from Leongatha and you will be on the coast with Wilsons Promontory National Park and Philip Island is not too far to also explore. So the choice is yours, either sea-change or treechange all in one. With only 9 Villas remaining we suggest that you consider us soon as the option to purchase will be reducing day by day due to this being a smaller boutique lifestyle village. Call now on 1300 306 255 to make an appointment or check out our website www. mountainviewleongatha.com.au and view the villas and village.

VICTORIA’S only water, wildlife and theme park, Gumbuya World, launches its first ever music event with an exciting, star studded line up featuring Australia’s favourite singers and songwriters for Gumbuya Sounds of Nature on Saturday 30 November 2019. Surrounded by stunning greenery, nature and thrilling rides, pop legend Daryl Braithwaite will headline the exciting outdoor live music event playing some familiar songs that everyone can sing along to. Right now, Daryl Braithwaite is showing no signs of slowing down. In 2017, Daryl entered the ARIA Hall of Fame as a solo artist. Recognised as one of the most talented rock musicians to emerge from Australia, Jon Stevens joins the line-up for Gumbuya Sounds of Nature. For lovers of great music, a concert experience with Jon Stevens is up there with the very best From his Noiseworks days and hits such as Welcome to the World, No Lies, Touch and Hot Chilli Woman – to fronting The Dead Daisies and INXS, he has made an indelible impact with his amazing vocals. Jon also has an incredible solo catalogue. His live shows are dynamic, high energy and will keep audiences on their feet Aussie chart topper, Vanessa Amorosi has earned her place as being regarded as one of Australia’s most iconic female voices. Her recent return to the Australian stage has been embraced by audiences. Her debut album, The Power (2000) demonstrated that she was a force to be reckoned with. It notched up six nominations at the ARIA Awards and saw her sing at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Audiences are in for a treat with a performance from unquestionably one of Australia’s finest live acts, Thirsty Merc. The band’s big break came in 2004 with the release of their debut, self-titled, album which included the hits, Someday Someday and In The Summertime. Reece Mastin is loved all over the countryside and with a career kicking off in the 2000’s after winning X Factor Aust in 2011 as a 16 year old and achieving so much at such a young age including 2 Platinum #1 albums, three
consecutive chart topping singles, Aria chart #1,2 and #1 singles respectively. Joining the line-up is one of Australia’s most talented musicians and undoubtedly one of the country’s best guitarist, Phil Ceberano. Phil has put together what he calls his dream band; a celebration of all things rock, groove and soul. Paying homage to great music of the late 20th century. “Gumbuya Sounds of Nature is one of many music events that we are planning to host at Gumbuya World. We couldn’t be more excited to kick things off with some of the greatest names in Australian music and we’re looking forward to welcoming thousands of live music fans from across Victoria and interstate this November,” said Ron Weinzerl, CEO of Gumbuya World. “Grab your family and friends and mark this event in your calendars! This is a music event you won’t want to miss! There’s nothing better than listening to your favourite music surrounded by nature and exciting rides at Gumbuya World. Gumbuya Sounds of Nature is truly a unique Australian music experience and a great way to celebrate the start of summer,” Mr Weinzerl said. Gumbuya Sounds of Nature is an all ages event that will take place at Gumbuya World on Saturday 30 November from 4.30pm – 10.30pm. Tickets start from $93 and can be purchased by visiting www.gumbuya.com.au/whatson/ soundsofnature. Tickets are limited, so don’t miss out!

Improve your mobility AFTER experiencing an accident, injury, illness or surgery, the prospect of how to begin your journey to recovery can be a confronting concept, particularly when you have been suffering for a prolonged period of time.

As a result, they may not fully regain their mobility and movement. The specialist rehabilitation team at Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital know that rehabilitation can be a daunting experience, and are careful to ensure that you are never pushed beyond your limits during treatment. Before your admission, you are assessed by a rehabilitation nurse who works with you to establish your individual goals and the best possible way to achieve them.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Peninsula premiership won by Frankston Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE grand final of the Peninsula Association was played on Saturday at Somerville, Frankston winning the premierships after a strenuous contest was manifested, and a large crowd assembled to witness the match. Mornington, who at the beginning of the season were apparently invincible, had lost a lot of their dash, and the team lacked cohesion and system. Frankston, on the contrary, had improved on every day’s play, and on Saturday were undoubtedly the superior side. Moon, Gregory, and P. Darcy were out, and, Reddick, Tevendale, and E. McComb took their places. Except for these alterations, the team was the same that met Hastings on the previous Saturday. Connell, Mornington’s captain, was out owing to injuries, and although well served by their leading men, Mornington had many players not up to standard. Their great weakness was in the forward lines, where men were seldom in their places, and to this fact must be assigned the reason for their defeat. The wind was a factor slightly favouring the tennis court goal, and Frankston has its assistance first, but were only seven points ahead at the change. Mornington did better, and at halftime had not only wiped off the deficit, but were leading by nine points. Frankston’s time came again in the third term; they added 5 goals 3 points while Mornington’s scoring remained stationary. Eight goals to four in Frankston’s
favour at the last change was a great handicap, but sensational deeds have been recorded in even one quarter’s football. Mornington made a stern fight, and reduced their opponents’ lead considerably, but the final bell found them still two goals behind. *** OUR LETTER BOX. FRANKSTON LIGHTING. To the Editor. Sir, In view of the statements appearing in recent issues on this subject may we be permitted to make some observations in reply. Why these complaints, we ask, at a time when we have been passing through the most difficult period in our company’s experience? For weeks our efforts have been taxed to the utmost to keep up a supply of lighting and our staff has been kept at constant strain to produce gas at all from the very low gas contents of the slack coal placed at our disposal by the Coal Board at considerable cost. As a matter of fact, operations were conducted at a loss during the Seamen’s dispute, notwithstanding, a gas supply was maintained, though on several occasions every pound of coal was used up before further supplies arrived. We were faced with the position of being unable to generate sufficient gas for both gas and electric services. As for town lighting, gas cooking and private lighting in many cases depended on gas, we gave this service preference in the interests of the greater number. This arrangement left an inadequate
gas supply for the gas engines which run the larger electric generator. We were consequently, reduced to the running of the small generating set throughout the evenings which ordinarily is run from a late hour to early morning. This arrangement we know gave a very inadequate service, but it was the best possible under the circumstances. Now that we are able to obtain supplies of proper gas making coal the larger plant is again supplying a satisfactory electric service. Consumers cannot expect the same advantages as in a city electric service. We have about ten miles of transmission lines carrying about as many consumers as could be supplied from half a mile of transmission line in a city street. Frequent interruption to lines result from gales of wind causing contact of trees with lines or contact of one wire with another resulting in an interruption of current; as these occur at night it is impossible to locate the trouble along dark roads until daylight when the lines can be patrolled. Frankston is one the worst of districts for electrical transmission owing to the number of trees and scrub on the line routes which grow rapidly and have constantly to be cut back. Other causes of stoppage, we could mention, have occurred, for which we are in no way responsible. Causes likely to interrupt services are being overcome and we see no reason why a satisfactory electric service cannot be assured for the future. The town of Frankston is fortunate in having both a gas and electric supply

and it is doubtful if any other town in the Commonwealth of equal size can claim this distinction. For the information of those who do not know and to remind those who may have forgotten – some years ago there was a gas company in Frankston. A dispute arose between it and the then Shire Council, and the company eventually ceased to supply gas and removed the greater part of its gas mains and some of the plant. We purchased the interests of the old concern, it being proposed to remove the plant to another town. We were, however, approached and asked to re-establish the works and were promised support by residents and the Shire Council. We eventually agreed to do so. Other mains were laid, plant added and the supply of gas started. For some years the concern did not pay. We claim that by our enterprise we have done more for the advancement of the town of Frankston than any other person or body. In the matter of public lighting and in other ways we have sought to meet the council in every way possible. Two years ago we were receiving for lighting £7 10s per month, and today it is £11 5s. The service included gas, lighting and extinguishing, mantles, chimneys etc. A lot is apparently expected from us but there has not been much by way of encouragement to us. In regard to complaints – as is often the case, those who have the most to say in the matter, have the least cause for so doing; others of our consumers

TIM FREEDMAN - WHITLAMS CLASSICS AND A FEW NEW SONGS gold albums in their repertoire. Tim’s solo performances are a mixture of charming cynicism and delicate piano, and have become as popular as his four-piece band shows. The Whitlams’ success has always been about the emotional core of his songs, and when the rock adornments are removed and the band left at home, that core is laid bare in the intimate atmosphere of a piano bar. Tim’s show will draw songs from across his entire career including “No Aphrodisiac”, “Blow Up the Pokies”, “Buy Now and Pay Later” and “Thank You (for loving me at my worst)”. The last few years have seen the band play their “Best of” with every state orchestra
around the country including seven nights with the Sydney Symphony at the Sydney Opera House. Their 1997 album, “Eternal Nightcap”, was recently voted No. 17 in the Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time on Triple J. In January 2019 The Whitlams were the house band on ABC’s ‘Australian of the Year’ telecast in which they mashed Baker Boys “Mr La Di Da Di” with their own hit “You Sound Like Louise Burdett”. More recently they completed a national tour playing their 1999 album “Love this City” which was given a four star review in the Sydney Morning Herald saying the album ”has held up as well as Freedman’s affecting tenor”.

Now he is putting it in writing that he will perform some new material in his solo tour this October and November 2019, and that he is prepared to be run out of town if he doesn’t deliver. “Hopefully the new songs aren’t too successful though, otherwise I’ll earn too much to retain my franking credits. Unfortunately, like every one else in the world, I just had to express myself.” Freedman is best known as the frontman and songwriter of Australian band ‘The Whitlams’ – an Australian Recording Industry Group of the Year with three platinum and two

Winners and losers in 2019 DIVISION ONE SEASON WRAP
By Brodie Cowburn Winners: Dromana THE Tigers came into division one full of confidence after winning promotion last year, but not even their most optimistic fans could have predicted the success to come. Dromana were impressive in 2018 and ran out deserving premiers of the second division. They made history by becoming the first side to be promoted in the new two division MPNFL format, and their performance in division one would prove to be an interesting insight into the gap between the two competitions. Dromana didn’t miss a beat and relished the opportunity to play against the best. An excellent run of results at their home ground helped prop up

their season, and they ended up heading into the finals in third position. They only finished below last year’s grand finalists Pines and Sorrento on the ladder. After knocking off reigning premiers Pines in week one, Dromana were comfortably defeated by Sorrento in week two of finals. They didn’t drop their heads though, and came back to win their grand final spot with a win over Bonbeach. The Tigers avenged their previous loss to the Sharks by claiming the win over them in the grand final. The win capped off a dream year as Dromana went back to back. Bonbeach BONBEACH had a disappointing 2018 season, missing the finals series. Under the guidance of Steve Hughes and Trent Dennis-Lane, they showed great improvement this year to prove they could hang with the 2 October 2019
best of them The Sharks came into finals with a 50/50 record, but looked a dangerous side all throughout the finals series. They knocked off powerhouse club Frankston YCW in the first elimination final with ease, but it was the following week where they would truly impress. Faced with the task of knocking off the reigning premiers, Bonbeach smashed Pines to move onto the preliminary final. Although Dromana eventually stopped their run, the Sharks can hold their heads high after an impressive finals run. Formerly AFL listed player Trent Dennis-Lane played a big role all year and helped his side to a better result in 2019. Peter Williamson will coach the Sharks in 2020. Losers: Mornington
AFTER showing glimpses of promise in season 2018, Mornington came into the year with hopes of a decent showing. Unfortunately for them, it was not to be. The Bulldogs found themselves rooted to the bottom of the ladder for most of the year, and copped some big losses. They ended up bottom by a game and a massive percentage difference. They will play in the second division next season. Pines THE reigning premiers started the year off on the right foot, but found themselves out of form at the wrong time. A difficult run into finals saw Pines finish second by two games, but they still remained a side with the quality to beat any team if they played at their best. The Pythons couldn’t correct
course by the time finals came around, and were shockingly eliminated in straight sets. Their premiership defence fell flat with consecutive losses to Dromana and Bonbeach. Their 2020 season will be made more difficult by the losses of powerful midfielder Paul Scanlon and Tim Bongetti. Frankston YCW POWERHOUSE club Frankston YCW had a difficult time with injury and form last season, which resulted in a second week finals exit. Despite their attempts to restore themselves to their past glory, they fell short again this season when Bonbeach defeated them in the first elimination final. Next year will see some changes at the club, with 2017 premiership coach Wayne Capp set to depart.

Stirton quits, Hine signs on again SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie DAVID Stirton has left Langwarrin while Josh Hine has agreed terms for a second season at Mornington. Stirton contacted head coach Scott Miller and club president Tanya Wallace last week to inform them of his decision. The 28-year-old was one of the more experienced NPL players on the club’s books having had stints with South Melbourne, Bentleigh Greens, Dandenong City and Port Melbourne and is regarded as one of the best set piece specialists in the competition. “It’s just about game time,” Stirton said, a reference to the number of matches last season in which he failed to make the starting line-up. “I came off the bench a number of times and scored some important goals but the next week I was back on the bench again. “I spoke to Scott about it and he said he didn’t want to change a winning team even when my goals were winning us points. “I didn’t want to be a supersub again. I think I’m better than that and I just found it really frustrating. “I wanted to finish my career at Langy but obviously that’s not going to be the case now.” Stirton has already fielded offers from other NPL clubs including one from Doveton which brought his father Iain to Australia for the 1983 season. “I’m not keen to drop below NPL2 so let’s see what comes up,” he added. Stirton and Jordan Templin tied for Langy’s Golden Boot award this year. At this stage eight of last year’s senior squad have agreed terms for next season and every senior player has met with the club and been made an offer. The ones that have signed on are Wayne Wallace, Jamie Cumming, Jaiden Madafferi, Fraser Maclaren, Brandon Jansz, Damir Stoilovic, Alex Van Heerwarden and Dylan Kilner. The club also has spoken to prospective newcomers but has yet to agree terms with any of them. Scottish midfielder Scott Lochhead has been training at Lawton Park and still could be on Langy’s radar if his visa issues are resolved. The 22-year-old has an impressive CV which includes spells with Rangers, Celtic, Dundee United and Dunfermline and he arrived in Melbourne in February to join Bentleigh Greens. It’s unclear whether John Baird will rejoin Langy after the experienced Scottish striker’s inaugural Australian

season there. Baird returned to Scotland a few weeks ago to take up a short-term deal with former club Raith Rovers currently on top of League One. On Sunday at Langwarrin’s junior NPL presentation day Taylan Unal won the Ben Caffrey award as the club’s NPL junior player of the year. Unal had a remarkable season winning the best and fairest and players’ player awards in the club’s championship winning under-15s side. He also won the league Golden Boot award with 44 goals making him the top scorer in both the East and West divisions of the competition. Meanwhile Mornington reached agreement with English import Hine last week. It was a boost for the Dallas Brooks Park club as Hine had a few NPL suitors keen to use the services of the former Salford and Boston United player. “That’s a big one for us,” Mornington gaffer Adam Jamieson said. Hine has made quite an impression in his first Australian season, winning the club’s top scorer award and finishing second in the league equivalent. The club has also agreed terms with Taylor Davidson, Kyron Kerr, Sam
Scott, Craig Smart and Andy McIntyre and when Jamieson returns from a two-week holiday he’ll be holding a series of meetings with current players and prospective targets. In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers head coach Danny Verdun has decided to take a break from coaching. Verdun returned on Sunday from a brief trip to the Gold Coast with wife Cathy and let Strikers president Adrian Scialpi know of his decision. “As a club we will always be in debt to Danny who has become a friend and who leaves on very, very good terms,” Scialpi said. “We want everyone to know how much we value his professionalism which was a wonderful asset to our club and we can’t be more grateful for what he brought to us this year.” Strikers will sort out their senior and reserves coaching positions over the next week. Verdun’s assistant Neil Standish is also keen to take a step back from coaching due to family commitments but is likely to be involved in some capacity. In State 3 news both Max Boulton and Alex Whyte are firmly on Frankston Pines’ radar while senior
coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor remains on the lookout for an assistant. Both Boulton and Whyte played under Taylor for Langwarrin’s under-20s in the 2018 season. Boulton played with Casey Comets last season while Whyte switched to Peninsula Strikers but they are no certainties to sign for Pines as other clubs have shown interest. In State 4 news head coach George Hughes and assistant Robert Mathieson look set to stay at Baxter. Hughes confirmed this last weekend but struck a note of caution after his baptism of fire last season. “I don’t want to go through what we went through last pre-season regarding players,” Hughes said, referring to the struggles the club had to field a senior side just to meet its FFA Cup commitments. This continued into the early part of the league campaign but Hughes and Mathieson finished off the season with a highly competitive and confident side which defeated local rival Seaford United and only lost to third-placed Sandown Lions through the only goal of the contest in the 96th minute. “If we can keep the squad together and add a couple of new players then
I think we could do something next year,” Hughes added. Holding onto the versatile Stuart McKenzie is a priority as he has attracted the attention of a number of clubs. One newcomer could be ex-Peninsula Strikers and Frankston Pines defender Laban Stringer. The 24-year-old could be used in central defence alongside experienced defender Matt McDermott freeing club captain Izaak Barr to play as a full-back or a holding midfielder. State 4 looms as one of the more interesting leagues in 2020 with Somerville Eagles being promoted to that level of competition so derbies against Baxter and Seaford United are on the horizon. The clash with Seaford will be of special significance for Somerville goalscoring legend Dave Greening who rewrote the record books during a highly successful spell at North Seaford Reserve between 2011 and 2014. Somerville’s joint senior coaches Scott Morrison and Greening and reserves coach and senior assistant Stan Packer will hold talks this week before meeting with director of football Zach Peddersen to discuss the upcoming season. The club already has identified players that it wants to target and expects to retain “about 90 per cent of last season’s senior squad” according to Morrison. Charlie Conrath won’t be one of them as he is set to return to the UK but Morrison is keen for veteran striker Mark Pagliarulo to pull on his boots once more. “He’s more than capable and he had a brilliant year for us and could back it up easily,” Morrison said. An upgrade of Tyabb Central Reserve should get underway next month and be completed by Christmas while Barber Reserve has been allocated $200,000 to upgrade the facilities and floodlights. A $50,000 feasibility study at Barakee Drive Reserve in Somerville should begin shortly when soil testing is conducted. In State 5 news Lee Barber and assistant Thomas Raby look set to be reappointed at Aspendale Stingrays. Barber was in charge of the youngest squad in the league last season and is optimistic about his side’s prospects in 2020. “If we can add a couple of onfield leaders then we should do well,” he said.

Campbell Rawiller rides first winner HORSE RACING
By Ben Triandafillou IT took just five rides for 18-year-old apprentice jockey, Campbell Rawiller, to ride his first career winner at Moe on Tuesday 24 September. After making his race riding debut at Jerilderie, NSW (a non-TAB meeting) on the previous Saturday, Rawiller made the most of his sole ride at Moe aboard the Cameron Templetontrained Girl On a Train. Despite not being wanted in the market and jumping at $31, Rawiller entered the race with hope and settled his mount down at the rear of the field. Utilising his lightweight, Rawiller stormed home down the outside fence to score an impressive last-to-first victory in the Rising Stars series heat. The son of multiple Group One winning jockey, Nash Rawiller, said it was a massive thrill to score his first winner from his first ride in Victoria. “When I was in front, I got very excited that’s for sure,” Campbell Rawiller said. “It was a huge rush and thrill and just all the jockeys too, they were all so good to me - everyone came up and congratulated me.” Rawiller has transitioned from riding in 35 trials to riding in races as smoothly as one could hope, with his boss, Mornington-based trainer Logan McGill, saying he’s taken it all in his stride. “He wasn’t as nervous as I was at the races,” McGill said. “I thought he’s given every horse a chance. It’s a big thing going from the trials to the races, but I thought he did a fantastic job that
first day and then to back it up with a winner on his second was fantastic. “We are absolutely rapt for him. He’s done such a good job in a short amount of time and it was just good to see him get that and get on his way.” As well as having plenty of support from his family, friends, coaches and trainers, Rawiller said making the most of his experience at the trials has helped a lot with the transition to race riding. “Obviously in trials you’re not trying to go for your position as quickly as you are in a race but I really tried to prioritise throughout my trials not just to ride the trial but I really wanted to focus on jumping and straight away putting a horse into position,” he said. “If that meant bringing them back to slot in for cover, it makes a big difference for when you get to race day and it’s not all a big surprise. It’s great to now finally be out there racing and putting it together.” Rawiller is looking forward to the coming months with plenty of nonTAB meetings fixtured in the calendar as he aims to gain further experience and work through his claim.
