Time trial for The Bald Soprano ROSEBUD Astral and the Rosebud Theatre Group will be presenting a joint theatrical event next month that the cast says is “not to be missed”. The merged theatre group is presenting The Bald Soprano – a play with only one performance … but there’s a kicker. It goes for 30 hours straight and is an officially recognised Guinness World record attempt for being the world’s longest play. Pre-sale tickets are available for the launch and for the finale, and walk-in tickets are $5 at all other times. The show is directed by Brendan Croft and the entire event is run by volunteers. Profits from ticket sales go to SalvoCare Eastern, Rosebud, to support local homelessness. The Bald Soprano is a classic from the Theatre of the Absurd genre of plays. It explores the idea that talking does not always equal communication. Audiences are not expected to sit through the whole 30 hours. The play has a built-in loop with 75-minute iterations. Patrons can come for one or stay for them all. The play launches at 11.30am, Saturday 3 November, with cast introductions and media greeting, then the show starts at midday. Then, at 4pm, Sunday 4 November, the countdown begins to the final iteration and world-record glory – before the players take some well-earned sleep. During the 30 hours patrons can come and go for a $5 donation. Tickets for the launch and final countdown will be available for presale with both standard seating and cabaret style table seating. Details: Jasper Hill 0427 144 300.

Call for new direction at Seawinds Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FOUR of the five board members of the Seawinds Community Hub have resigned in what is being described as a “turbulent” period for the centre which opened in 2012. This follows the lodging of a petition with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council signed by 78 volunteers, staff, and members of community groups unhappy with events leading up to the departure of former CEO Martin Cowling.

The petitioners said they were “concerned with the current board and the perceived discrepancies between what the board wants and what the volunteers, employees and community groups of the Seawinds Community Hub want for the operations of the hub”. In the lead up to Mr Cowling’s departure they asked the council to “call on the board to resign and appoint external administrators until a new board can be appointed by the parents, leaders and members of Seawinds”.

Issues came to a head when the board refused to extend Mr Cowling’s term after his three-month contract expired. “Things were not working out and the board did not see eye to eye with him on many issues,” said chairman Andrew Bayliss, the sole board member remaining. He joined the board in early 2015 and has been chairman for 12 months. The hub, at Allambi Avenue, Capel Sound, is a not-for-profit centre working with often disadvantaged and unemployed people and providing such

“working to provide some stability in a turbulent period” and recruit new members to the Seawinds board. The council has offered to support the centre by sending out notices of a special board meeting, while acknowledging that the board was an independent company over which it had no jurisdiction. Shire manager family services and community planning Louise Wilkins has been asked to report back to the council on the progress of appointing new Seawinds board members.

‘Progress’ leave victims homeless Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE threatened felling of a large pine tree at the rear of a Rosebud property has neighbours fearing for the plight of an active magpie nest. Kerry-Anne Ledwidge, of The Broadway, who lives next door to the property, says the tree is slated for removal to make way for houses – a common occurrence in the developing suburb. Australian Wildlife Protection Council secretary Eve Kelly said while regulations required a permit from the Mornington Peninsula Shire to remove vegetation, the protection of wildlife was covered by the Wildlife and Cruelty to Animals acts. “I would like to know how these acts are enforced when there are active nests in trees being felled,” she said. “It has been brought to our attention that many trees in cities, suburbs and surrounding areas are being cleared, for various reasons. Many of these old and young trees, both native and nonindigenous, have active nests of native animals. “If a tree has active nests of native birds, ringtail possum, brushtail possum or sugar gliders living in hollows or in a nest, what are the DELWP regulations regarding its removal? How are these regulations enforced? Who should concerned community members report to if there are breached regulations?” Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning manager Kirsty Greengrass said an exemption under the Wildlife Regulations 2013, cov-

ered offences relating to the destruction of wildlife habitat if a person was authorised to do so via an approval under any other Act. “What this basically means is that a person who is removing native vegetation that is approved under a planning permit issued by council is not liable for offences relating to the removal of wildlife habitat,” she said. “It is up to councils to impose conditions on planning permits and sometimes, where appropriate, these con-

ditions will require the salvage and relocation of active nests out of trees that are planned for removal and into nearby trees within the same vicinity, such as within the animal’s home range. “Local councils are responsible for enforcing compliance with conditions imposed on planning permits, so if you suspect someone is not complying with their conditions, you can report it to the relevant local council.” Ms Kelly said arborists overseeing

the cutting down of large trees were often not aware they were responsible for the care and safety of wildlife. “If [animals or birds] are in active nests it is against the law under the Wildlife Act to disturb them,” she said. “Yet people are cutting down trees with active nests on the peninsula all the time. We’ve heard about possums being thrown into mulching machines, about baby brush-tails being thrown over fences.” Ms Kelly said people should be made aware of rules surrounding the care and safety of wildlife. “There’s no point having rules unless people know about them and they are enforced,” she said. Wildlife protector Klarissa Garnaut recently rescued five orphaned sugar gliders when a pine tree was chopped down in Balnarring. Ms Garnaut got the call from Wildlife Victoria and now has five orphaned sugar gliders in her care. “This will come at a great personal expense to her and growing up in care is far from ideal for baby sugar gliders,” Ms Kelly said. Ms Greengrass said a wildlife controller could be hired to remove possums, reptiles, wombats, sulphur crested cockatoos, long-billed corellas or galahs at risk of injury or death due to construction works. For all other native wildlife, an authorisation under the Wildlife Act 1975 was required to capture, relocate or euthanise the wildlife. Anyone wishing to do so can apply to DELWP for an Authority to Control Wildlife. It is an offence to disturb or destroy wildlife without authorisation.

PENINSULA Chamber Musicians’ orchestra is presenting two concerts to celebrate the arrival of the warmer seasons. In saying farewell to winter the musicians and to end their 2018 season, the musicians will start each concert with Spring, by Vivaldi and Puccini’s homage to flowers, Chrysanthemum. These will be followed by Weber’s Concertino for Clarinet, performed by Peninsula Chamber Musicians’ founder, Paul Jenkins. Schubert’s Symphony No 5 will bring the season, and the concerts, to an end.

Nook for nature THE Nature Nook’s opening at The Briars Reserve, Mt Martha starts 10am on Saturday 3 November. The Nook is designed to be a place for visitors to “take a moment to be still, listen, smell, observe and contemplate wildlife”, one of its designers, Eve Kelly, said. The free, all ages opening is being presented by the Australian Wildlife Protection Council and the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. Following the opening there will be presentation sessions at 10.30am, midday and 1.30pm. The sessions are free but attendees should register at www.eventbrite. com.au/e/the-nature-nook-wildlifeevent-tickets-51394065032. Details: Call Eve Kelly on 0425 842 618.

Tender rules tighten to ban gifts to staff Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au CONTRACT managers at Mornington Peninsula Shire have been banned from accepting “gifts, benefits or hospitality” from companies or individuals supplying the tens of millions of dollars in goods or services bought each year by the shire. The shire has tightened up the rules to avoid conflicts of interest between staff and suppliers following internal audits and receipt of a probity report of its buying and contract procedures. Gifts that have been offered and declined must be recorded in the staff gift register. Staff and advisors directly involved with any tender evaluation panel will need to declare “any relationships or connections they currently have, or previously had, to tenders or their employees”. Declarations in the Related and Conflict of Interest Register would be reviewed by “procurement” and assessed in consultation with “probity” officers.

A report to council’s Tuesday 23 October meeting by strategic procurement manager Gail Mifsud stated that the signed declaration “is to mitigate the person determining the status of their own interest”. If a conflict of interest is found the staff member concerned must be taken off the tender evaluation panel and have no further access to tender information. A member of the shire’s “executive team” could allow the staff member to remain in the panel “if the interest is considered minor or unlikely to influence the evaluation outcome”. The gifts register – available to the public by appointment – lists an “exclusive photographic session voucher” valued at $600 as being declined by a contracts procurement coordinator. A Mornington car sales company made the offer. The shire’s contract auditing and surveillance officer also declined an identical offer. However, two “lunch” meetings valued at $20 and $25 with Procurement Australia were accepted while an invitation to Derby Day was declined.

Five stars for councillors MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors have given themselves the right to stay in fivestar accommodation. An amendment to the Councillor Expenses Reimbursement, Resources and Facilities Policy adopted at the Tuesday 23 October council meeting allows councillors to be reimbursed for “accommodation at a five star venue when they are also attending a conference or event in their official capacity at the same five star venue”. A report by senior policy advisor Anthea

Hastie said it was “important that the councillor role attracts and retains a wide cross section of people and the policy recognises individual needs and circumstance”. The policy being amended was adopted on 24 July and will be reviewed by council at the next municipal election, October 2020. Ms Hastie said the policy change “will allow councillors to be provided with appropriate reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses performing their duties as a councillor”.

Season opening ‘ranks with the greats’ “ONE of Mornington Yacht Club’s greatest opening weekends ever” is how CEO Wayne Holdsworth described the feedback from members, guests and visitors at the club’s season launch on Sunday 21 October. Fine weather and a 100-metre banner saying Family, Friendship, Sailing marked the opening of the club’s 73rd sailing season. “Our members have embraced the theme of family and friendship and that of being great role models in our community,” M Holdsworth said. “Commodore Bret Levenspiel and the board have worked hard to form a positive vision for the club and the members have certainly shown their endorsement with record attendance numbers.” The opening weekend started on the Friday evening with the club’s annual cocktail party. “The club was buzzing with a crowd we have not seen for a long time. The cocktail party was not limited to members and it was great to have new faces come along and join in on the fun,”

Mr Holdsworth said. “All were talking about the wonderful surprise they got when seeing the banner for the first time.” The banner was sponsored by the Mornington Yacht Club Foundation which is giving nonmembers 10 learn-to-sail vouchers valued at $300. Anyone interested can register at the office on 5975 7001 or email office@morningtonyc. net.au The winner of the ORCV winter series, Mark Nicholson’s Javelin, was the official boat for the traditional sail past. The day also marked the christening of Sailability’s new power boat Joe Karam in recognition of long-serving volunteer and coxswain in the Sailability team. “Sailability is a big program for the club and it’s all about contributing to our community,” Commodore Levenspiel said. “It brings the joy of sailing to people of all abilities from all over the peninsula.”

THE state government is handing the German supermarket chain Kaufland an “unfair advantage over local shops by going around local government planning processes”, a rival operator has claimed. Co-owner of Mt Martha SUPA IGA for 30 years Rod Allen – who is president of the MGA Independent Retailers – said the retail giant had “completely bypassed six local councils and communities and had taken its proposal to re-zone land direct to the state government by lobbying planning minister Richard Wynne”. The MGA is a national retailer association whose 2700 members include independent supermarkets and stand-alone liquor stores across Australia. Mr Allen said the proposed Mornington store near the Bata Shoe factory site would “have a big impact on shops from Mt Eliza all the way down the Mornington Peninsula”. Last month, Mr Wynne told Mornington Peninsula Shire he would appoint a committee to “provide advice and recommendations” on Kaufland’s plans to open six supermarkets around Melbourne, (“Anger over state planning takeover” The News 13/8/18). The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the advisory panel was “another example of Mr Wynne impinging on the responsibility of local government”. Mr Allen said Kaufland was “using the minister to re-zone land so mega stores can be dropped onto local communities with all profits to be taken offshore and not spent in the local community”. “Any initial increases in employment will be

more than offset when local shops are forced to shed labour as their businesses suffer,” he said. Kaufland is looking to open mega stores on sites up to 20,000 square metres at Dandenong, Epping, Oakleigh South, Coolaroo and Chirnside Park. If given the go ahead, the stores will sell “everything from car tyres to cheese slices”, from in-house bakeries, delis, butchers, cafes, conventional grocery and Kmart-style department store sections, Mr Allen said. “They can be likened to shopping centres in their own right, in scale and product range, with proposed floor spaces of 6000-12,000 square metres which is four times larger than Coles or Woolworths and 10 times larger than Aldi, plus 300 car parking spaces,” he said. “We call on Premier Daniel Andrews to save Victorian small businesses”. A petition www.saveourshops.com.au has been started to make Kaufland “compete fairly”.

BIGGLES the dog in real life with his owner Tim, left, as he appears in the books illustrated by Jenny K Barnes, centre, and written Vanessa Thiele, above.

Dog used to teach social skills to children Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au PSYCHOLOGIST Vanessa Thiele has chosen to use a dog as the main character of a book aimed at fostering children’s “social and emotional intelligence, work ethic and grit”. Thiele says these are “mindset skills that are of particular interest to parents and teachers”. The man vehicle for these character traits is Biggles, a Jack Russell. In real life Biggles “worked” on farms for 15 years alongside Thiel’s husband Tim and his brother.

“Tim worked all over the Mornington Peninsula and had lots of clients, many of who would remember Biggles,” Thiele, who practices in Hastings, says. “I was inspired to write about Biggles because I saw how much he loved the work, riding in the machinery and on the hay trailer, chasing the mice. “He got into many scrapes too; once he was bitten by a snake and lived to tell the tale; another time he fought a kangaroo and held onto its back while it hopped and bounced around. He was quite extraordinary.” A mother of two – Ollie, six and Ashy, four – Thiele’s Biggles Goes to

Work is the first in a series of five she and illustrator Jenny K Barnes plan to publish through crowdfunding. Barnes is a former high school friend and also the mother of two young children. “This was definitely a passion project for me,” she said. “It’s thrilling to be able to bring this little character to life and think about the positive influence he will have on our readers”. Thiele has written three of the fivebook series. The second, called The Little Dog Who Could, focuses on resilience and overcoming challenges, and the third, Biggles Finds his

Superpowers, focuses on individual strengths and self-compassion. The final two will cover gratitude and mindfulness, and emotional intelligence. The books will be accompanied by notes to help teachers and parents “map the areas of the curriculum to the book themes and generate discussions that will support children’s positive mindset skills”, Thiele says. Sales of the books will also help “Aussie farmers battling drought and natural disasters” through the Drought Angels organisation. “We thought it only fitting, since Biggles displays the same resilience

and tenacity as the farmers themselves,” Thiele says. “The book tells a heart-warming tale in rhyming verse about Biggles working on the farm and learning the joy of helping others. “He displayed such enthusiasm and tenacity; he just loved his work and overcame every challenge he faced. I thought kids would connect with Biggles, and that his story could inspire the same strength and self-belief in them.” Biggles Goes to Work is available by going to www.Kickstarter.com and searching for Biggles Goes to Work.

Milestone makers: Nathan, Karen, Bailey and Kayla Jackson from Lancaster, near Kyabram in the Goulburn Valley region of Victoria, the 500,000th guests on Arthurs Seat Eagle

Arthurs Seat Eagle welcomes 500,000th guest THE milestone of welcoming half a million visitors to the Arthurs Seat Eagle was reached on October 21. The attraction has been soaring the heights of Arthurs Seat on the Mornington Peninsula since December 2016. With guests enjoying the scenic views across Port Phillip Bay and beyond as they ride the state of the art gondolas from the base station near Dromana passing over beautiful State

Park to the summit, 314 metres above sea level. “This is such an accomplishment for The Eagle, after less than two years in operation we have welcomed our 500,000th guest.” said Madonna Walters, General Manager. The lucky family who arrived at the summit station in gondola number 5 said they actually waited a bit at the base station and let another group go ahead of them in the ticket line.

Fortunately for the Jackson family from Lancaster, near Kyabram in the Goulburn Valley region of Victoria; Nathan, Karen, Bailey and Kayla, this meant one of their tickets was recorded as being number 500,000. The family was gifted with an Eagle Prize Pack of local goodies, souvenirs and a return gondola flight along with an accommodation voucher from Peppers Moonah Links Resort, including Peninsula Hot Springs passes.

Poppies honour the fallen 100 years on Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THOUSANDS of Poppy Appeal volunteers all around Victoria – including from Mornington RSL sub-branch – will begin selling the iconic red poppies soon with all proceeds going to support needy current and former service men and women. RSL Victoria is hoping to raise $3 million in this year’s appeal, with 2018 marking 100 years since the guns fell silent on the Western Front ending what became known as the Great War. Poppies were among the first plants to bloom in the war-ravaged fields of France and Belgium and, since 1921, they have been used to remember those who fell during war. As a wave of young veterans are finding themselves and their families in need of assistance, the RSL says it is as important this November, as it is every year, to donate to the Poppy Appeal,. “The Poppy Appeal holds a special place in the hearts of Aussies and, as we wear our poppy this year, we thank the men and women who fought for Australia 100 years ago and today,” state president Dr Rob Webster said. “This year we commemorate the centenary of the Armistice to end World War I where Australians gave their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today. “It’s important to remember that the needs of our younger veterans are critical. Wearing a poppy is also how we can support them and thank them for their service.

“This year, not only will we have an array of poppies to sell, but to commemorate the centenary of the Armistice we have a $30 Centenary of Armistice Poppy,” Mr McDonald said. “There will also be lovingly handmade poppies made by volunteers from around Victoria. Poppies can be bought at RSL subbranches, from volunteer collectors or at the shopping centre. Donate online at poppyappeal.com.au Centenary of Armistice commemorations will be held at the Mornington Sub-Branch. “Because it is such a significant event – the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I – this year the service will be much bigger than usual,” Mr McDonald said. “Students from all six secondary colleges from the Old Shire of Mornington will march to the cenotaph at Memorial Park, Barkly Street, carrying the names of the 121 shire men and women who volunteered at the time. Primary schools, sporting clubs and service clubs, as well as politicians and councillors, have all been invited to take part. Individuals also have the opportunity to lay a wreath on the day.” The service will begin at 10.15am, Sunday 11 November. The subbranch will open for a barbecue lunch and refreshments straight after the service. “I hope many from the community will join with the sub-branch in this commemoration service for those who served all those years ago, but also to show our support and gratitude to all those who have served in conflict zones around the world,” Mr McDonald said.

Garden of memory PARISHIONERS at St Mark’s Church, Dromana – and further afield – have been handcrafting poppies for the church front garden to commemorate the end of World War I. On the weekend of 10-11 November the church garden will be full of poppies which will be planted on the Friday evening and will be on display until the Monday. On the Sunday, as part of the family service, there will be a twominute silence at 11am. This will take place in the garden and will include The Ode to The Fallen and The Last Post. Following the service there will be refreshments, a chance to view the garden and church, and an opportunity to research the military records of those who served in the World War I. All are welcome to join in these commemorative activities. Those wanting to make poppies to be included in the garden, for which there are patterns online, should drop them off at the church by Wednesday 7 November.

Boy struck by car A BOY suffered a compound fracture of the lower leg when hit by a car behind Benton Junior College, Thursday 25 October. Acting Sergeant Mick Gridley, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said the eight-yearold was on Steedman Drive about 3.30pm when the incident occurred. The driver stopped to help. The boy was taken by ambulance to Frankston Hospital. Sergeant Gridley said it was unlikely any charges would be laid.

Evidence lacking to justify gas terminal By Cat Nadel

AGL will have to do more to convince the Western Port community if it wants us to believe that a 300 metre, toxic gas import terminal at Crib Point is either safe or necessary. Claims that daily dumping of 450,000,000 litres of cold and chlorinated water will have no impact on the bay’s marine environment are misleading, unproven and designed only to benefit AGL’s business interests. A recent Australian Marine Ecology report commissioned by Environment Victoria and the Victorian National Parks Association uncovered serious omissions and inaccuracies in AGL’s “experts reports.” It found AGL’s report on chlorine release failed to consider the impacts of secondary toxicants - poisons with the potential for chronic, long-term and irreversible impacts on the ecosystem. Due to the extra energy consumed in liquefying, shipping and re-gasifying gas that would come from AGL’s project has already been shown to be 20 per cent more polluting in terms of greenhouse gases, than gas sourced in Victoria. Worse still, while Victoria has a ban on dangerous fracking, this terminal could see us importing fracked gas from interstate and overseas. There is absolutely no reason for a forward thinking clean energy state like Victoria to be lured into an expen-

sive, polluting trap like the one being set here by AGL. AGL’s suggestion that heating up the liquefied gas could be done using gas from the ship rather than water from the bay is a false and dangerous choice. In a time when even coal giants like BHP are asking for a price to be put on carbon emissions, AGL should not be asking the community to make a choice between damaging Western Port and increasing pollution that further damages our climate. The people of Western Port know climate change is a threat to their area. Every day we see the reality that is described in last year’s report from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, identifying climate change as a major threat facing our internationally recognised wetland ecosystem. AGL’s “experts” have failed to mention this report, or in fact any scientific literature released on Westernport Bay in the last five years. It is this kind of biased and selective investigation that further justifies the need for a fully independent and rigorous assessment such as the environment effects statement (EES), which has now been required by the state government. Environmentally, this project is a massive concern, but it doesn’t stack up from a gas market perspective either.

Australia doesn’t have a gas shortage; in fact, we don’t even have a real gas market - we have a broken gas cartel. We export two thirds of our gas. AGL’s project would not solve this problem. Instead, it would have us buying back gas at a cost that wouldn’t be any cheaper for struggling Victorian businesses or households. What Victorians and the Western Port community needs is an urgent transition to an economy powered by 100 per cent cheap, clean, renewable energy. This will benefit our communities, our environment and allow us to meet the climate targets needed to prevent catastrophic global warming. AGL should be part of the solution to bringing online more wind, solar and battery storage, not charging ahead with a dirty and dangerous gas project that could lock us into polluting energy for another 20 or more years. The Western Port community refuses to be deceived by a billion dollar company rorting the system and aiming to profit off our community, our environment and our climate. AGL’s project is damaging, unnecessary and will be fiercely opposed. Cat Nadel is a climate campaigner at Environment Victoria

Pulling the strings A PUPPET making and performance workshop was a feature of the U3A Southern Peninsula morning tea at the Dromana Community hall last week. It was all part of Senior’s Week and entertained seniors from all over the Mornington Peninsula. A delicious morning tea prepared by volunteer catering team leader Teena Daley. Apart from bringing people together to enjoy a cuppa and cake, the event

was an opportunity to showcase the many courses available to U3A Southern Peninsula members. The puppet making and performance workshop was tutored by Veronica Rae. There was also Singing For Fun, tutored by Martie Lowenstein-Nash, and a display of art work by members enrolled in other art courses. Picture: Supplied

The Boundary Road Project The stone resources at Hillview Drive Quarry are running out, Hillview Quarries is looking to recommence quarrying operations and access the adjoining resources at our Boundary Road Quarry site. The Project Since 1969, Hillview Quarries has been operating the quarry in Hillview Quarry Drive, Dromana. This site is owned by the RE Ross Trust, as is the neighbouring quarry site with adjoining resources on Boundary Road. The RE Ross Trust is a charitable trust which was established in Victoria in 1970 by the will of the late Roy Everard Ross. To-date, more than $113 million has been granted to organisations across Victoria and on the Mornington Peninsula, through the profits earned from quarrying. Re-establishing quarrying operations at the Boundary Road site will generate the revenue needed to ensure the work of the RE Ross Trust continues well into the future. This is the aim of the Boundary Road Project.

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

An EES is required The Minister for Planning has directed that an Environmental Effects Statement (EES) be prepared for this project – an EES is the most rigorous government process for assessing projects in Victoria. Over the next few years, a range of scientific, environmental and social studies will be completed. There will be ongoing consultation with the local community and feedback will be gathered from stakeholder organisations. All of this information will be combined to form the EES which the government will use when making decisions about the future of the Boundary Road site. The EES is being managed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

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

Champions strike a chord against cancer By Barry Morris

IT was a swinging affair, hip, hep, and as cool as Lizzy Gascoigne’s jazz band Kissing Harriet was performing last Wednesday to a sold-out audience in the heritage-listed Beleura House, the Italianate mansion at Mornington. The Pink Ribbon Day concert was held by Cancer Council’s Mornington Peninsula volunteer group to raise money to fight cancer. Formed in 2004, the group has previously raised almost $70,000 with three lunch events at Mornington Racing Club. The concert was also a meeting of heavyweight champions, with jazz pianist Bob Sedergreen performing on “the biggest and best piano in the world”, also called the Beleura. Made by Australian piano maker Wayne Stuart, the three metre long Beleura weighs 644kg and has nine octaves. The Tallis Foundation, on behalf of Beleura House, commissioned Stuart to make the Beleura from ancient Huon Pine. It took him 18 months and was delivered last month to great acclaim. In jazz, there’s not much that Sedergreen, who weighs a lot less, hasn’t done, establishing a name as one of the finest pianists in Australia. In a career spanning more than half a century, he’s performed with internationally renowned artists from Dizzy Gillespie to Milt Jackson; he’s a national treasure, recording artist, music teacher and this year was inducted into the Graeme Bell Hall of Fame. In the beautiful Tallis Auditorium, the great

man approached the piano, sat down, cast an eye up and down the keyboard and played. “This is the Rolls-Royce of pianos and it’s made in Australia. More things should be made in Australia,” Sedergreen declared. By a twist of fate, he had played on a smaller version in Perth. It too, made by Stuart, had also been bought by Beleura House and was in the same room. Earlier, more than 80 guests parked in Mornington Golf Course car park and were bussed to the house where they sipped pink champagne and ate canapes in the Melba Room. Then it was time for the concert and guests moved into auditorium where Tallis foundation director Anthony Knight, all elegance and style and wearing a pink tie, explained how they ended up with so many pianos. “I told Wayne Stuart we wanted the best piano you can make and he sold us the Perth piano – and then he said we should have two of them,” he said. Mornington branch of Cancer Council Victoria coordinator Karla Freer spoke about how her group was engaged in the fight against triple negative breast cancer, the second biggest killer of women after lung cancer. She also warned men in the audience that breast cancer was not only found in women. On with the show and Lizzy Gascoigne and her band wooed the audience with nine songs chosen to reflect some of the challenges thrown up by life from psychotic infatuation in All of You to the rampaging Spain by Chick Corea, mingling with The Sunny Side of the Street and Nature Boy. There was even a number by Charles Mingus called Weird Nightmare. Gascoigne gets better every time she performs. Buoyed by the brilliance of Sedergreen and musicians who played out of their skin, she had the audience applauding enthusiastically. Dammit, they were almost stamping their feet.

Stephen Glassborow Internationally Renowned Sculptor Stephen Glassborow solo exhibition of large-scale sculpture

Hi Horse

Opening Saturday 3rd November, 12 - 4pm Glassborow has never felt comfortable with being labelled a classical sculptor, he says: “When I first started exhibiting, they would tell me I was a classical sculptor. It irked me, and so I found myself trying to put a quirk or a twist into the figure. I looked for ways to make the figure have a contemporary relationship.”

For the cause: Golfers will tee off from Moonah Links on 16 November for the cause of raising money to build homes in Cambodia for those in need. Picture: Gary Sissons

Having a hit for housing MOONAH Links is set to host an event that will see keen golfers teeing off for an important cause. Tempo and Global Village Housing have teamed up to host the inaugural 50/50 Golf Challenge, which will aim to raise funds to build houses in Cambodia. Global Village Housing Cambodia has been working with Tempo to raise funds for the cause for three years, with this being their first Golf Challenge event. The goal will be to raise enough money to fund four homes and fresh water wells in Cambodia. “Global Village Housing build and gift homes in Cambodia for the poorest of poor. As a team, we have been involved and committed to GVH for over three years, working with them to raise

money to build and gift homes. Your involvement in this event will allow us to build another four homes and provide essential supplies to many families for Christmas,” Natalie Sevior from Tempo said. “This is our first Tempo 50/50 Golf Challenge and our main fundraiser for the year. Of course this won’t be your run of the mill event, Tempo does not deliver mediocre. When the score is secondary, and the experience is everything.” The event will take place on the open course of Moonah Links on Friday, 16 November. Food, beverages, and entertainment will be on display all day. Auctions and prizes will be taking place, with a trip to Vanuatu up for grabs. If anyone wants further information or would like to register, email natalie@thetempogroup. com.au or call 0439368181.

How community support is helping save lives at Rosebud Hospital COLIN Giles, an otherwise fit and healthy 72-year-old, found himself extremely unwell last June after experiencing tightness in his chest. “I’d just returned from walking the dog when I felt this pressure in my chest – then I started sweating severely and felt sick, like I was going to vomit, so my wife took me to Rosebud Hospital,” recalls Colin. “I arrived at triage and explained what my symptoms were – next minute I was on my back, in a gown, surrounded by people and equipment.” Some of the equipment used by the doctors and nurses at Rosebud Hospital Emergency Department (ED) to treat Colin were purchased with funds raised from the last Rosebud Hospital Summer Appeal. “It was when I was lying there, while they did various tests, that I understood I was having a heart attack,” says Colin. “Fortunately my blockage was in a small artery so I didn’t drop dead in an instant – but as the cardiologist said to me, there is no such

thing as a minor heart attack.” Rosebud Hospital is the first stop for critically ill patients on the Southern Peninsula, like Blairgowrie resident Colin. The ED team was able to stabilise Colin and arrange for him to be immediately transferred to Frankston Hospital for the emergency surgery he needed. This summer, the Rosebud Hospital Summer Appeal is back, and Peninsula Health is again calling on the local community to support its local hospital. A few months on, Colin has made a full recovery and is now doing really well. “All in all it was a very positive experience if I had to have an event like that,” says Colin. “I was worried, sitting in the car on the way to hospital with my chest constricting but everyone – the staff at Rosebud, the ambos, the cardiology team, the staff on the ward afterwards – were just tremendous.” Help Rosebud Hospital provide the very best care to patients like Colin, when they need it, by supporting to the Rosebud Hospital Summer Appeal www.rosebudhospitalsummerappeal.org.au Courtside: Mt Eliza pupils Stella and Thomas contest the ball with Melbourne United players Mitch McCarron.

Court show after t-shirt win BACK in April, Basketball Victoria ran a competition for the best redesign of the Hoop Time All Star grand final winner and runners up t-shirts for 2018. Getting into the action, two Mt Eliza Primary School year 6 pupils printed off entry forms and handed them out to their peers. Principal Brett Bell signed off on all the forms and entries were sent away. This month the school was told a design by

GOLF CLUB

Will Leonard had been chosen as the winner. This led to the school being treated to a day of basketball clinics and a visit from the Melbourne United basketball team. The players featured in a game time event with player introductions, crowd activities, music, competitions, prizes and show bags. “Melbourne United participated in a four-quarter game against the pupils and everyone had a blast,” the school’s Madeleine Bryan said.

New CEO of The Bays leads tin rattle at the Peninsula Cup THE Bays Hospital is betting on the goodwill of patrons attending Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peninsula Cup to give generously, to help equip the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Critical Care Unit with the latest, most advanced lifesaving equipment. Experienced healthcare executive Elena Allen, recently appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of The Bays, will be joined by critical care nurses and volunteers to collect public donations for the six-bed Critical Care Unit, opening in 2019. The availability of intensive care level services in Mornington, will mean that for the first time, patients with significant health risks and complications will not need to leave their local community when requiring hospitalisation. Elena brings a wealth of experience in the healthcare sector, including her most recent role as the Chief Executive Officer of the Calvary Central Districts Hospital in South Australia. Elena has more than 28 years experience in healthcare, working in various leadership, clinical and executive roles, including acute hospital, aged care, mental health, health call centre and disability services, with a range of local, regional and state-wide responsibilities. As a charitable hospital operating on a completely not-for-profit basis, The Bays Hospital relies on donations to ensure our patients have access to the most sophisticated equipment and therefore the very best care. To donate to The Bays Hospital visit www.thebays.com.au or phone 5975 2009.

LETTERS

Timely apology; show sympathy to refugees It was timely that the Prime Minister Scott Morrison, on our behalf, recognised the evils of the past and apologised to those who have suffered from abuse. They deserve it. Their suffering and living with the long lasting detrimental effects of their abuse has now been well documented. Their lives have been changed forever. There are still many children who remain on Nauru with their families. They are sick and in danger of deteriorating health. Families are separated. People rejected by United States are condemned, yet we are not told why they have been rejected. Five years of detention and under daily scrutiny with no end in sight. We know what long-term detention and institutional abuse can do to people. It is hypocritical of our politicians to continue to argue about these people’s lives. Our elected leaders are still not able to agree on where and how much “punishment” they mete out to this group of people knowing of the ongoing and long-term effects of abuse and lack of hope. It is time to bring all the refugees and asylum seekers here, and sort out the details here. We have detention centres here and our treatment of refugees is harsh, but there will be an outcome and a foreseeable future for the people. Off shore detention is no longer acceptable to the majority of Australian people, and should not be accepted by our politicians. Ann Renkin, Shoreham

Refugees have a choice Once again, we have letters in this column (“Our refugee obligations” and “Refugees blameless”

Letters 16/10/18) regarding “our refugee obligations” and being told that the Nauru “refugees are blameless” and should be brought to Australia immediately. I would like to remind both letter writers that we have one of the highest refugee intake rates in the world. Combined with the US and Canada, we take in 80 per cent of the world’s refugees. So why are some disgruntled people constantly trying to guilt us? Additionally, many Australians find individuals that pay people smugglers, that cross borders illegally, and who then try to use their children as bargaining chips in order to gain entry and residency, quite repulsive. No one likes a cheat and no one likes to see children used in such an abominable fashion. The people detained on Nauru have a choice of going back to their home nations but choose not to, that is their decision. But please, stop trying to make the rest of us feel guilty about this. We have great needs in our own communities with poverty and homelessness and many of our own children needing a hand up. The worst thing we can do is to open the borders again and have another 52,000 people roll up in 830 boats. We should continue to take in refugees, but on our terms, not theirs. Christine Fry, Blairgowrie

Independent plea With the amazing results in the recent Wentworth [NSW] by election, maybe if we could get a credible local independent candidate to take on Flinders MP [Health Minister] Greg Hunt, the

federal government could fall. I am positive there must be someone out there who could give the MP Flinders a run, if not win, and make it a marginal seat. I hope I am not dreaming for that Independent but, in my humble opinion, Flinders deserves better than what we have. Don’t forget Mr Hunt put his support at the recent leadership hassle behind none other than [Home Affairs Minister] Peter Dutton, who I believe will go down in history as one of the cruellest ministers ever. I believe in the not too distant future there will be a prime minister who will apologise to our refugees for the appalling cruelty that has been taking place on Nauru and Manus Island. One hopes that they will recover from the mental health issues that are evident from this cruelty. Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Questionable claims I wonder did [AGL senior manager project engagement] Kelly Parkinson come up with the latest instalment of AGL propaganda all by himself, or does it come from a team of writers in the back rooms of AGL’S comedy department? (“Supply concerns drive gas import ‘urgency’” The News 24/10/18). His statement about the expert reports showing this venture is as benign as he wants us to believe, are very misleading at best. Nowhere in the reports is there any mention of the cumulative effect of constant addition of chlorinated and refrigerated water to Western Port. The only thing one can possibly assume is that the report is based on a on/off discharge of these huge quantities of chlorinated and refrigerated waters. His claims of a concern for the environment, by choosing the sea water regasification method over a method using some of the gas itself for regasification of the liquid gas are highly questionable, because this method would probably make the whole venture financially unviable. I’m also fairly sure most of the costumers who signed a MOU [memorandum of understanding] with AGL are probably electricity generators. For me, this is a plan for ever greater global

warming. In the light of the latest reports from the UN climate change body, we should stop burning fossil fuels as soon as possible. If AGL really was such a great champion of society it would not be advocating the burning of ever greater quantities of fossil fuels. And singing from the same song book as our climate change denying federal government about power prices is very disingenuous. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

All time levy Twenty something years ago then Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett activated a “levy” to show on our water bill each September for $50 to the benefit of parks and gardens. Twenty something years later this levy is still there and we, the owners of dwellings, are still paying it, only now it is $77.10. It shows in pale print on the back side of your account. May I ask you to do a sum: google how many dwellings there are in Victoria and multiplay the number by $77.10. It blows the mind, hey. Am I missing something here? I would think Parks Victoria should be self-sufficient, after all it has more land than anyone else in the state. What would it do with these billions of dollars every year? From a personal point of view, I was born in 1933, survive on a limited income and am astonished and bewildered that the Victorian government can give me a $78 concession on the front side of the bill and then take $77.10 away on the back (in pale print). I would be very interested to know readers’ opinions on this. Mine is highway robbery. Audrey Doueal, Rosebud.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Naval Base to be supplied with mains water Compiled by Brodie Cowburn ACCORDING to present calculations the naval base at Westernport will be supplied with water by the new year. While the main efforts of the Water Commission have been concentrated on providing the supply for the naval base, regard has been made for the needs of towns on the route of the service, and it has been found that the whole of the area as far as Mentone at least fall naturally within the scheme. It has now been agreed to extend the scheme northwards so as to include a supply to the whole of Mordialloc and Mentone. *** WE are compelled to hold over report of the Somerville Branch of the Australian Comforts Fund, and several other interesting items till our next issue. *** TONIGHT a concert for the Frankston Soldiers Repatriation Fund will be given in the Mechanics. There should be a bumper house for such a worthy movement, especially as the money raised will be expended in the district, and on our own boys. *** MR J. C. Murphy, who has seen three and a half years of active service at the front with our troops, has now purchased the dairy business of Mr T. Reeves, in Bay Street, Frankston, and solicits a continuance of the support accorded his predecessor. *** REV O. J. Boyle, Methodist Home Mission Deputation, will preach on Sunday next at Frankston, morning;

PAGE 36

Langwarrin, afternoon; and Somerville, evening. He will address a public meeting in the Frankston Methodist Church on Thursday evening next at 8p.m. *** THE president of the Frankston Progress Association acknowledge with thanks, the receipt of the following donations to Madden Memorial Fund. Amount previously acknowledged, £25 17s 6d; Dr Foreman (Sydney), £5 5s; Sir David Hennessy, £2 2s; Miss R. McAlister, £2 2s; Miss M. V. Primrose; £1 1s ; John Jolly esq. £1 1s; Mrs John Jolly, £1 1s ; Mrs Agnes Shidds, 10s ; Total, £38 19s 6d. Donations acknowledged only up to 25th Oct. 1918. Th President of the Frankston Progress Association has received a communication from Miss M. V. Primrose, organising secretary of the Australian Visiting Trained Nurses’ Association of which the late Sir John Madden was President. Miss Primrose anticipates being able to forward a donation of £1 1s for each of the members, by a later mail, for the Madden Memorial Fund. Miss Primrose also wishes and suggests that a public function to raise funds for the Memorial be inaugurated in Melbourne in which the Australian Trained Nurses Association would assist and take part. The suggestion will be brought before the next meeting of the Progress Association. *** 8th Presentation to Frankston Volunteers. On Thursday evening the Mechanics’ Hall was well filled, at

Southern Peninsula News 30 October 2018

the invitation of the local branch of the Red Cross Society, in order to bid farewell to a few more of our brave lads, who have now reached the age that renders them eligible for enlistment, and who were only too eager for that time to come. The chair was occupied by Cr Chas. Murray, President of the Shire, in the absence of Mr James Grice, who was unavoidably absent. A good musical programme was commenced by the singing of the National anthem, Miss O’Grady presiding at the piano, and also playing most of the accompaniments. The following programme was then gone through: Mr Payne, song and encore; Mrs Boyett, song; Miss E. Murray, song; Mrs Aitken, song and encore. The chairman then said that the most important part of the programme would now be proceeded with, viz. the presentation of medals to the lads who had enlisted in defence of their King and Country. He spoke of the deeds done by our Australian lads who had already gone, and felt sure that the lads that evening would emulate those deeds. These young men, as they come of age, were keeping up the traditions of Frankston, and if the other parts of the State had followed that example there would have been no need for compulsory enlistment. Dr Plowman said the presentation this evening to volunteers from Frankston was the eighth that had been made since the commencement of war. There had been 136 presentations

made and with the six to be made that evening, made up a total of 142 volunteers who had received presentations. In the first instance presentations of wristlet watches were made, but it was afterwards thought that medals would be more suitable and last longer as mementoes of the occasion. The chairman then made the first presentation to Private Allan Tivendale (formerly employed in the local post office) and accompanied the gift with a few words of cheer and encouragement and a wish for his safe return. Private Eric McComb, whose brother, Private Bert McComb had made the supreme sacrifice, and he was going to fill his place. Private Reg. Coxall, Private F. Johns, Privates Earps, and Private Evan Jones, were then given their medals by the chairman, who expressed great admiration at the action of the lads and a heartfelt wish for their safe e return. Private R L. Green, a returned man who his re-enlisted and gone to the front for the second time, and Privates Reginald and Robert Grierson, the two latter being present and are just about leaving for the front, will also receive medals at a later date, their names not having been given to the hon. sec. (Dr Plowman) in time for presentations to be made that evening. After the presentations, three hearty cheers were given and “ For they are jolly good follows” sang with enthusiasm. After Mr Payne and Mrs Aitken

had favored the company with songs and the Misses Murray with a duet, for which an encore was demanded. Cr Mason proposed a hearty vote of thanks to all those who had assisted in making the function the undoubted success it had been. Refreshments were then handed round, and the proceedings termnated in a dance, which was much enjoyed. *** OUR LETTER BOX. THE WATTLE CLUB. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—In your last week’s issue of the “Standard “ there appears an article, criticising the Wattle Club, in which you state that the Wattle Club absolutely refused to lend any of its furnishings, or to assist in any way, the welcome to two Anzacs. Now, Sir, I wish to say that that statement is absolutely inaccurate, as the president gave me full permission to use whatever I required of the club’s crockery, furnishings, etc. They even left the decorations up in the hall which had been in use the night previous. Trusting you will do justice to the Wattle Club by inserting this disclaimer.—Yours etc. ALICE McCOMB. We quite understand that the Wattle Club material was loaned to Mrs M’Comb personally, and also we have on reliable authority that it was refused the Welcome Home committee as a body. Why ?—ED. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 2 November 1918

THE Peninsula Woodturners are holding an exhibition of woodturning and demonstrations. It will be held at the club’s studio and workshop which are located within the grounds of the McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park, 390 McClelland Drive, Langwarrin, between 8 November and 13 November (10am - 4pm). Items will also be offered for sale for those early Christmas presents. Woodturning is an age-old craft done largely by hand. As the lathe turns and spins a piece of wood, it is shaped by hand, using a chisel. This process brings out fantastic colours and grains in the wood and can be displayed in beautiful ways where natural timbers are used. The technique of spinning wood on the lathe produces sculptural and artistic items, alongside utilitarian ones such as bowls, platters, pens etc. Demonstrations on the day will have a variety of

items showcased. This is your chance to get close to the maker, have your queries answered, or to get in touch with makers for a commissioned piece, be it a wall hanging sculptural piece, clock, or a handcrafted component for your chair/rocking chair, wooden tables etc. The possibilities are endless. Enjoy this rare opportunity to get your hands on a handcrafted item, using an age-old craft. In an age filled with cheap, disposable and machinemade items, a craft that goes back centuries is definitely something to behold. If your interest lies beyond being a buyer, and you’d like to join the Guild to have a go yourself, you can download the application form from the website www.pwguild.org.au and send it to the Secretary - details are on the link page. The event is free, and parking is free.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

It’s Okay to Be White (But It’s Still Not Okay to be Awful) By Stuart McCullough I’ve never really wondered If it’s okay to be white It’s never really crossed my mind Or kept me up at night It seemed a silly thing to say So strange and impolite But still it made me think of all The whiteness in my life I wake up every morning On the white side of the bed Ignoring all the white noise That has gathered in my head It continues on with coffee Flat white! Not cappuccino No other brew would ever do For this middle-aged albino I slap on some white sunscreen If I plan to step outside Otherwise my pale skin Will sizzle, bake and fry Cos being pink is not okay And red is downright awful Sunstroke makes me lie down And take aspirin by the paw full For when it comes to being white There’s no one white as me It’s not that it is not okay More it was meant to be Cos being white is not a choice It’s a question of degree I suspect it’s true for others too Whatever shade they be Purple, green or topaz too - Everyone’s fantastic! Whatever kind of skin you’re in Wrinkled or elastic It’s just the sack we’re stuck with We’re otherwise the same We want the lives of those we love To be sweet as sugar cane

PAGE 40

‘It’s okay to be white’ What a puzzling declaration! Dare I suggest that it betrays A vulgar fascination With trying to sew division In every corner of the nation. That’s such a lot of fuss over A lack of pigmentation ‘It’s okay to be white’ I’m still puzzled that you said it It’s not a thing that needs to be Debated in the Senate It’s such a shame it happened Whether here or Timbuktu Especially when you should have Many better things to do It’s okay to speak your mind I just hope that it’s awake! And that you know the impact That your silly words can make For it’s okay to be quite dull Bohemian or artsy But it’s not okay to echo things Said by neo-Nazis Yes, it’s okay to be white Or be mauve or pink or purple It’s okay to like giraffes Or dugongs, dogs or turtles. It’s okay to be tall and thin Or short and kind of dumpy It’s okay to be anything - Happy, sad or grumpy. So let’s agree that it’s okay To be anything you like And if that proves too much for you Then, best be on your bike Stop your incessant carping Be glad for what you’ve got For being white might be okay But being awful is definitely not stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Moorooduc let Long Island off the hook help his side to a huge total of 235. Seaford Tigers will return to their innings at 0/2. Seaford took on Hastings and posted a small total of 81 off just 47 overs before their 10 wickets fell. Hastings punished Seaford for their struggles, and ended the day with a whopping 1/130. Robert Hearn will continue his innings next weekend from 55 not out. Heatherhill won the toss and chose to bat first against Mt Martha, and posted a handy first innings total of 145. Mt Martha lost an early wicket to go 1/0, before steadying to finish the day at 1/16.

PENINSULA

MOOROODUC have failed to make the most of a poor Long Island innings as the first two day clashes of the 2018/19 MPCA season took place. Andrew Tweddle top scored for Long Island with a lowly score of 17, as Moorooduc bowler Reece Cordeaux starred by running through the top order and claiming figures of 4/23 with 7 maidens. Long Island ended up all out for 75, but were let off the hook by a shaky Moorooduc, who lost their first two wickets for 4 runs. Moorooduc finished the day at 5/98. At Ditterich Reserve Crib Point were sent in to bat first by Main Ridge. Losing the toss had no effect on Crib Point, who batted well to reach 8/190 at the close of play. Jason Albress could hold his head high after a strong performance with ball in hand, claiming 4/63. Red Hill put in a good performance against Somerville to reach a strong total of 184. Tail end batsman Jamie McCall put in a big shift, with 44 runs to his name. The final Peninsula match featured Pines and Baden Powell. Pines won the toss and chose to bat first, and their top order performed valiantly. Ashley Hupe scored a well taken half century, as the Pines ended up all out for a well taken 221. Baden Powell finished at 0/7 at the end of play.

Tyabb were no match for Carrum Downs, who put together a great team performance to post a total of 8/250 at the end of play. Three Carrum Downs batmen posted totals of over 40, with Ryan Lynch top scoring with 61. The Yabbies have a huge task ahead of them to stay in touch, Dromana Reserve played host to Dromana and Rye on Saturday, as the home side was sent in to bat first. Mark Whitehead scored a handy 48, but his middle order collapsed around him. Dromana finished all out for 125, to which Rye answered with 2/42 before the close of play.

A STUNNING middle order performance from Baxter has guided them to a stunning total of 6/318 against Sorrento at David Macfarlane Reserve. 105 not out from Daniel Warwick and a well taken 70 from Chris Brittain guided them to their monstrous total. The Sharks now face a big task to chase Baxter down. Langwarrin performed brilliant away from home against the Peninsula Old Boys, as they won the toss and chose to bat first, Matt Prosser fell agonisingly short of a century when he was dismissed for 96, but there was still plenty to smile about as his side finished the day at 9/295. Travis Campbell also performed well with a good score of 70. Mornington performed better with their home ground advantage, as they put Pearcedale to work with an impressive batting display. Ben Clements continued his brilliant start to the year, claiming his second century in the last week before being run out for 105. Mornington finished at 8/276 at the end of 80 overs. Mt Eliza also performed well to survive 80 overs, as they finished their innings against Flinders at 8/203. Two half centuries from middle order batsmen saved Mt Eliza from a tougher battle. Dwayne Field was the pick of the bowlers for Flinders, claiming figures of 5/82.

Baxter, Pines snare coach, players SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie BAXTER and Frankston Pines have hit the ground running with preparations for next season. Last week Baxter announced that Robert Mathieson was the new assistant to head coach George Hughes while the makeover of the Pines squad by gaffer Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor got underway in earnest. Mathieson played with Mulgrave, Croydon, Springvale City and Dandenong City before joining Langwarrin 27 years ago eventually becoming a long-serving assistant to legendary senior coach Gus Macleod. He spoke to other local clubs before accepting an offer from Baxter gaffer George Hughes. “I get on well with George and we share the same football philosophy so it was a good fit,” Mathieson said. “The facilities there are top-notch and they’re only going to get better with new lighting and new dugouts on the way in fact the facilities are better than some of the NPL clubs I’ve been to. “I think Baxter has got great potential and hopefully with George’s experience and my experience we can point the team in the right direction.” Ex-Langwarrin midfielder Matt Morgan has been linked with Baxter again after leaving the club midway through last season and joining rival Hampton Park United, which eventually was relegated. Current Langy midfielder Jonny Guthrie is another possible target. The experienced Englishman would be a huge asset in the middle of the park and is just as comfortable playing at the back. Hughes and Mathieson were not the only interested spectators at last Wednesday night’s hit-out between Australia Youth and Baxter at Parkmore soccer club in Keysborough. Former Kingston City and Baxter midfielder and current Skye United player Jack Gallagher was in the crowd and was seen deep in conversation with Hughes. Australia Youth was coached by former Baxter boss Roy Kilner who is preparing the squad for the 2018 UNite Cup run by the Melbourne Chinese Soccer Association in partnership with Football Victoria and Melbourne Victory. Kilner has been offered the senior coaching job at Dandenong Warriors which is one of Baxter’s State 4 South rivals so his presence will add an edge to league clashes between these clubs

in 2019. Meanwhile Pines used social media to announce the signings of Travis Ernsdoerfer and Cameron Bryden last Friday while Cedric Benza, Tuach Ter and Tapiwanashe Munyanyiwa are expected to be announced as new signings this week. Ernsdoerfer, 18, is a former Bentleigh Greens junior who made his senior debut with Baxter before playing with Langwarrin’s under-20s in the NPL last season. “He brings a different dimension to us up front,” Taylor said. “He’s very direct, strong on the ball and powerfully built. He’s comfortable with his back to goal and he’s good in the air.” Bryden, 23, played with Langy juniors before making his senior debut with Seaford United. He was overseas for most of last season but returned and played half a dozen games for Seaford as the club battled to save its State 3 South-East status. “He’s good on the ball and he

doesn’t mind getting stuck in,” Taylor said. “He can play in central midfield or up front and he’ll be an asset.” Benza, 20, is a former Springvale White Eagles player who joined Langy’s under-20s last season but no longer qualifies for that age group. “Cedric’s a readymade senior player and I’ve got a lot of time for him,” Taylor said. “He’s strong, good in the air and his recovery and closing speeds are just fantastic.” Ter is a former Springvale White Eagles and Langwarrin under-20s leftsided player and Taylor was delighted to clinch his signature. “Tuach has terrific quick feet, is defensively sound and has the ability to get past an opponent and whip dangerous crosses into the box,” he said. “Tapsy” Munyanyiwa is set to quickly become a fans favourite at Monterey Reserve. He’s a flying machine with plenty of NPL senior experience and the 21-year-old winger has been with

Bentleigh Greens, Springvale White Eagles, Sunshine George Cross, Doveton and Point Cook. “He was with me when we won the under-20s championship at Bentleigh and I’m absolutely stoked to get him to Pines,” Taylor said. The only loss so far from last season’s senior squad is midfielder Ross Robertson due to tertiary studies while striker Mitch Lander has been rumoured to be returning to Seaford United. But it’s expected that the bulk of last season’s squad will attend pre-season training which gets underway officially on 4 December. CJ Hodgson and Graham Hill have been sounded out by other clubs with Mornington and Doveton keen on Hodgson while Hill has been linked with Brandon Park. Taylor is keen to retain them and has his sights on other signing targets. Langy midfielder Alex Whyte, 20, is one of them. “Alex is good with either foot, has good vision and is very composed,” Taylor said. “He can pick a pass and go long or short and he’s a good organiser. “He broke into Langy’s senior squad last season and came off the bench a few times.” It’s believed that Taylor also has an in-principle agreement with exPines keeper Alfonso Cardinale who switched to Heatherton United last season. Taylor is set to meet with other prospective signings in coming weeks but

won’t release their names yet. Former Skye United and Seaford United coach Paulo Pinheiro will coach Pines’ reserve squad next season. “Paulo was very keen to get back into coaching and he’s happy to work with the younger players,” Taylor said. Once Darren Roberts can resolve some work issues he’ll decide whether or not he can take up the offer of assisting Taylor. Pines also look like fielding a couple of junior teams next season. The club is likely to have an under15s team with the bulk of that squad coming from another local club. And the spill from last season’s under-11 program at Langwarrin looks likely to produce an under-12 squad for Pines in 2019. In NPL2 news Langwarrin announced on Sunday that it had signed striker David Stirton from Dandenong City. Stirton is a former Langy junior who has extensive experience at the elite level of Victorian soccer including spells with Oakleigh Cannons, Dandenong Thunder, Melbourne Victory, Southern Stars, Bentleigh Greens, South Melbourne and Port Melbourne. Langy announced last week that Ritchie May would be senior team manager for next season and Peter Tuckett would assist high performance manager Alistair Wallace. May was assistant coach and team manager of the under-20s last season while Tuckett first joined Langy as a player in 1977 and for many years now has been the club’s fitness coach. Former Peninsula Strikers and Frankston Pines midfielder Ben Millward is expected to be named shortly as the new strength and conditioning coach of Langy’s under-20s. In State 2 South-East news Peninsula Strikers’ boss Danny Verdun will hold a meet and greet night with current and prospective players at the club’s Centenary Park headquarters on Thursday at 6.30pm. Verdun has been arranging a raft of pre-season friendlies and signed off on the last one a few days ago. Strikers will host South Yarra on Saturday 16 February at 3pm and 5pm. In other news State 3 South-East outfit Skye United announced last weekend that Liam George had been reappointed for a fourth straight year to the reserves coaching post while local goalkeeping guru Peter Blasby will meet with Dandenong City head coach Zeljko Kuzman this week to discuss a specialist role at the club.

Hillier scores Australia’s first threeby-three silverware By Ben Triandafillou SOUTHERN Peninsula Sharks director of coaching, Gerard Hillier, has taken the Australian Youth Girls three-by-three team all the way to a bronze medal at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Thursday 18 October. The youth girls side, made up of Suzi-Rose Deegan, Sara-Rose Smith, Ruby Porter and Alexandra Fowler, secured Australia’s first piece of international silverware in three-by-three basketball with a 16-13 victory over top-ranked China in the bronze medal game. The Australian side entered the tournament which went for almost two weeks as the last women’s seed (20th) and sat at 36th in the world rankings prior to the competition. Despite their low ranking and entering the tournament as a wildcard, the

youth girls played with a lot more quality than their ranking would suggest. In the group stage, the youth girls were victorious in three of their four matches, defeating the Netherlands (ranked fifth) 11-7, Czech Republic (ranked 17th) 15-11 and Estonia (ranked fourth) 19-15. They went on to comfortably defeat Ukraine (ranked second) 16-6 in the quarter finals before suffering an overtime loss to France (ranked sixth) 19-20 in the semi-final. The Aussies bounced back to defeat China in the bronze medal game and will now likely sky rocket their world ranking, having finished third overall in the international competition. Sharks director of coaching, Gerard Hillier, said “I cannot put into words the amount of grit and determination these young

ladies had in the face of some extremely strong competition and through adversity,” he said. “If we had to do it all over again, I couldn’t think of four better players to go back to battle with.” The exceptional run from the youth girls tops off a remarkable 12 months for the coach who has been dominating the women’s leagues with his various teams. Hillier coached the under-18s women’s side which won a bronze medal at the Australian Junior Championships; the under-16s women’s side which won a gold medal at the Basketball Victoria Country Championships; the under-16s women’s side which were crowned champions in the Victorian Junior Basketball League; and the Sharks’ state championship women’s side which finished runners-up in the Big V competition.

AUSTRALIAN body builder and owner of Empire Fitness gym in Rosebud, Paul Jayilian, will be travelling to America to defend his WFF NABBA World Title on Saturday 3 November. Jayilian, 43, has been competing in the sport of body building since 2008, and has spent the past five years undefeated on the national and international circuit. The former kick boxer said he is super confident heading into this year’s world championships. “I think I’ve got it covered,” he said. “I’ve just had a slight change in diet and training heading into this year’s one but I’ve put on probably 6kgs. “From last November I was 80kgs with 3 per cent body fat and this year I will be about 86kgs with 3 per cent body fat.” The experienced body builder has competed in around 45 competitions since he started in 2008 and has shelved 45 trophies, having finished first or second in every competition he has entered, including the worldrenowned Arnold Classic which he won in 2017. Despite being eligible to compete in the over-40s Master’s competition, Jayilian said he won’t be contemplating the move into that division until the younger generation start to beat him. “I haven’t done that because there’s no real reason to,” he said. “I’m still taking on the younger guys and I’m still beating them so until they start beating me then I’ll stay here.” For some athletes, it can be difficult to work and train at the same time, but for Jayilian, he said his lifestyle

has worked perfectly for him. “I like to push myself to the limit,” he said. “I do about an hour and a half to two hours a day of weight training and that’s six days a week. I take one day off.” “I own my own gym and opened up Empire Fitness in Rosebud in April, so I pretty much work here and train at the same time which is great for me.” Following on from the WFF NABBA World Title, Jayilian will also be contending the Arnold Classic again in Melbourne early next year.

Bonbeach crowned aerobic champions

Hunter sets sights on Peninsula Cup MORNINGTON-based trainer, Wez Hunter, will be out to keep his unbeaten run this season at Mornington alive, as his talented gelding Call It A Day lines up in the Peninsula Cup (1600m). Despite stepping up to the distance for the first time, Hunter is confident Call It A Day can keep the hot-streak going in the Peninsula Cup. “His record on his home track is really good, and he’s had three starts [this preparation] for two wins and a second,” he said. “He’ll drop to the minimum and it’ll be his first time at the mile, but his form around 1500m has been pretty solid so the trip shouldn’t be an issue.”

PAGE 44

It’s been just over a year since Call It A Day fractured his hind leg in trackwork, but since reaching optimal fitness, Hunter believes his gelding has “come back bigger and better”. “It took him a bit to get right but now he’s back and racing to the potential that we thought he had,” he said. Hunter has been low-flying as of late, training three winners and a narrow second place-getter from his past five runners (at time of writing). Three of those runs were from the airborne Call It A Day. Hong Kong jockey Tommy Berry could also potentially be booked for the ride.

BONBEACH Primary School returned from the Gold Coast with silver and gold medals from the School Aerobic National Championships on Saturday 25 August. It’s the second year that the school has had an aerobic team compete at the national level and this year the Bonbeach Bolts were crowned national champions in the team’s competition. Two of their members, sisters Tara and Grace Ash, also won silver in the pair’s event. The sisters performed their routine to a song of their choosing being Katy Perry’s ‘Fireworks’ and choreographed their own routine for the event. The Bolts team consisted of Stella King-Stemmer, Sienna Shead, Jasmin Scott, Tara Ash, Lily Parks, Kaitlyn Farr, Grace Ash and Tea Matic. Coached by Bonbeach Primary School teachers, Ms Mullavey and Ms Batson, the aerobics teams put in a lot of hard work throughout the year, having started their training in November last year. Bonbeach Primary School teacher and aerobics fundraiser, Sharon King, said a lot of effort was also put in by the girls to fund the trip. “The girls we have got at the moment did a fabulous job,” King said. “They raised all the funds to get there. They ran raffles, had BBQ’s outside of Safeway, and ran silent auctions to fund their trip. “They raised about $8,000 to go and they did the school very proud.” King said the girls were “very dedicated” having trained twice a week starting at 7:30 in the morning as well as training during lunch times. It did come as a slight surprise to the teams, with one of the main chances that they believed would go

close to winning it, finishing in third. But after a nervous wait the Bolts were crowned national champions with the “parents and kids bursting

into tears of joy” following the announcement. The teams had a barbecue of their own to celebrate their victory.
