Living the sporting life
It’s been thirteen years since Jeff Swagemakers, his wife, Petrina, and their five kids opened Rosebud Sportspower and the local family continues to provide quality sports equipment and accessories to the area. “The kids were heavily into sport and we often found it tricky to purchase sporting goods as the closest store was in Frankston,” said Jeff, who could see the local community was in need of a sports good store. Encouraged by the family, Jeff opened the store from scratch on the main street of Rosebud with the help of his wife, his kids, and an army of friends, later moving to a larger premises in McCombe Street.
“The business is still going strong thirteen years later and we are proud to be able to sponsor pretty much every sporting club and event in the area over those years,” said Jeff.
Upholding the value of being ‘A Local Family Supporting the Local Community’, all five of Jeff’s kids have worked casually in the store, along with close friends, to maintain the close-knit family feel. It is a high priority of the store to give back to the community who are so vitally important to the ongoing success of the business. Jeff has provided work
experience to many students from local schools, some of whom have become valuable employees.
“My daughter, Georgia, works as the store manager now and we pride ourselves on being able to offer professional advice and experience across the range of sporting needs,” said Jeff. “We stock everything for every type of sport with the exception of cycling, from footballs and basketballs, footwear, sporting apparel, resistance bands, and snorkelling gear, up to treadmills, and home gyms.”
If you are into archery, Rosebud Sportspower has bows, arrows and accessories; for athletics there are running, shotput, discus and more. AFL lovers can get their team guernseys, socks, balls and boots. There’s basketballs, baseballs, bats, gloves and balls, badminton sets and racquets, boxing gloves, bags, ceiling balls and guards, and even billiards, snooker tables and accessories.

She is the first Australian to compete in the race for Wellbeing of Women, Britain’s leading women’s reproductive and gynaecological health charity. Connolly will turn amateur jockey for the race, held on Ladies’ Day during the Qatar Goodwood Festival. Other competitors are high-profile women from the worlds of business, sport, fashion and the media, including Olympic gold medallist Victoria Pendleton, British model Rosie Tapner and Irish television personality Vogue Williams. The jockeys are reportedly on tough training programs and must pass a rigorous fitness test before competing. Most have ridden as a hobby, but will face a new challenge as jockeys reaching speeds of up to 45kph. Connolly is the first Australian selected to ride in the Magnolia Cup. The experienced eventer has two horses in work at her Tuerong property. “I am absolutely delighted to have been selected for the race, especially when it benefits such a worthwhile charity,” she said. “It’s going to be a steep learning curve but I’m very competitive, so fingers crossed if I put in the hard work I can place – if not win.”

Ulcer study ‘now a trial’ - mayor Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au FEARS over the environmental effects of using chemicals to kill mosquitos have raised questions about the methods being used on the Mornington Peninsula to investigate the flesh-eating Buruli ulcer. The Beating Buruli in Victoria: Mosquito Control Study was launched on the back of a $2.4 million federal government grant announced by Flinders MP and Health Minister Greg Hunt in September 2017 to “get to the bottom” of the causes of the ulcer.
Increasing numbers of Buruli ulcer cases are being reported, mainly on the Mornington and Bellarine peninsulas, but also extending as far north along the coast of Port Phillip to Sandringham. Scientists suspect the ulcer is caused by a bacterium which infects humans bitten by a mosquito. A scientist not involved in the study doubts that its methods would “pass the usual university research ethics committee approval”. There are also growing fears that the chemicals being used to kill mosquitos will poison other insects, including bees, and creatures that eat them.
Shire councillors were told last week that there is a “paucity of information” confirming mosquitos were to blame for Buruli ulcers. The effectiveness of efforts to run trials to control mosquitos could be jeopardised by the number of residents deciding to opt out of the study being run by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the Doherty Institute, Barwon Health, Austin Health, CSIRO, Agriculture Victoria, The University of Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula Shire. More than 10,000 signatures have been added to an online petition pro-
testing at the use of chemicals to kill the mosquitos and the study managers say residents can choose not to be involved. “When the government money was made available it was called a study, now it’s more like a trial,” the mayor Cr David Gill said last week. His comments followed confirmation that in March properties in three streets in Rye were sprayed with a chemical to kill mosquitos. Those streets were the first of 76 locations selected for the study. Cr Gill says the federal government is not keeping a close enough watch on

how the money announced by Mr Hunt is being spent. On Friday he questioned whether the government normally makes large grants to other levels of government “without knowing how it is going to be used?” “I would find that very unusual,” Cr Gill said. He said councillors were not involved in any decisions connected with the study “and I’m very disappointed there has been no proper public consultation or an effort to carry out an environmental effects study”.

Bid to end single use of plastics SLOWLY but surely, single use plastic is being phased out on the Mornington Peninsula. In what’s being called a “fitting nod to the end of plastic free July”, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council last week committed to reducing single use plastics and set itself the goal of eliminating their use in council-controlled environments. The mayor Cr David Gill said the policy would impact council events, the use of council land and facilities and shire business, such as tenders, leases and contracts. “As a council we’re acting on the concerns of our community by raising this important environmental issue,” he said. “A new policy will bring environmental aware-
ness and accountability across shire business and public activity. “The shire must show that its reliance on plastics is being tackled and lead the way in using alternatives that help our community learn about waste reduction best practice.” Cr Bev Colomb, who pushed for the ban at the 23 July council meeting, said residents supported it. “Our community have been strong advocates for the elimination of single use plastics across the peninsula and council is supporting this with real action. “This is not an issue we can wait on: we must act now to protect our precious environment.”
An events policy adopted in June encourages all organisers to ensure events are conducted sustainably with no detrimental impact on the environment or amenity of an area. The state government will introduce a ban on lightweight plastic shopping bags from 1 November. Stephen Taylor

Looters dive deep off Cape Schanck LOOTERS have stolen irreplaceable items from a shipwreck lying 80 metres under the sea about 10 kilometres south of Cape Schanck. The loss in 1893 of 16 of the SS Alert’s crew is one of the worst shipwrecks in Victoria’s maritime history. A 500-metre radius around the wreck was declared a Commonwealth Protected Zone within weeks of the discovery of the Alert on 3 July 2007. But thieves have now invaded the fragile archaeological site, stealing such things as navigation lights, bottles, plates and a lamp shade. The theft was discovered by specialist divers undertaking a routine inspection of the small iron steamer wreck. Heritage Victoria executive director Steven Avery said “it’s very disappointing to see such a unique and important part of Victoria’s maritime history plundered for personal gain”. Under the Commonwealth Underwater Cultural Heritage Act 2018 it is an offence to damage the shipwreck or to enter the Protected Zone without a permit. Penalties of up to $168,000 or five years’ jail apply. “The [SS Alert] was lost for over 110 years until it was eventually discovered in 2007 near Cape Schanck, and a protected zone was put in place,” Mr Avery said. “When discovered, the ship still contained the crew’s personal effects, enabling an understanding of life at sea on an 1800s coastal trading vessel. “With the shipwreck located at a depth of 80 metres, the removal of these valuable artefacts could have only been carried out by specialist divers trained in technical diving. “Of the 600 historic shipwrecks in Victoria, only nine are in protected zones. The remaining wrecks can be explored so long as they community
don’t damage or disturb the wrecks or remove artefacts.” Built in Scotland in 1877, the SS Alert was a small iron steamer used mostly in Port Phillip to run general cargo between Melbourne and Geelong.
The steamer foundered at sea during a storm on 28 December 1893 while returning to Melbourne from Lakes Entrance with a cargo of wattle bark. Heritage Victoria is working with the Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Energy to investi-
gate the breach of the protected zone and looting. Anyone with information of the looting or the stolen artefacts can contact Heritage Victoria on 9938 6894 or heritage.victoria@delwp.vic.gov.au. Keith Platt

Fatal crash at Tyabb A MAN who died when his car left the road and crashed into a tree at Tyabb, Thursday 24 July, was in the process of moving into a new house at Hastings. The man, in his 70s, was travelling along Frankston-Flinders Road about 2.30pm when he lost control of the car he had bought only an hour before. The man’s wife, who was following a few cars behind, reportedly did not see the incident, 200-metres south of the entrance to Padua College. Acting Sergeant Anthony Deason, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said police at the scene comforted the woman while relatives made their way from Brighton. Emergency services were unable to save the man. Frankston-Flinders Road was closed between the Padua College entrance and the Western Port Highway for several hours, with parents on school pick-up having to come from the Tyabb township side. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
Mother terrified A TERRIFIED mother and two young children were confronted by a man and a woman brandishing an axe and a cricket bat inside their Berry Court, Mornington, home, Thursday 25 July. Jewellery and other items were stolen in the 7.20pm incident. Detectives later arrested a man, 18, at another location. He was charged with aggravated burglary and remanded to appear vat court at later date. The woman has not been found.
Not talking A ROSEBUD man is “not cooperating” with police after presenting at Rosebud Hospital with stab wounds, 2.50am, Saturday 27 July. Detective Senior Sergeant Al Paxton, of Somerville CIU, said the man, 28, was taken by ambulance to The Alfred hospital with serious injuries. He is said to be in a stable condition. It is not known where or how the incident occurred.
Alarm alert A MT ELIZA man alerted by a silent alarm was able to watch on his phone from another location as two men wearing balaclavas tried to force the front door of his house, 5.33am, Saturday 27 July. Detective Senior Sergeant Al Paxton, of Somerville CIU, said the man called police who rushed to the Fulton Road house as the men sped off towards Nepean Highway in a grey 2000 Ford sedan. They were not able to apprehend them. Police canvassed houses in the street and found a neighbour had been robbed of cash and jewellery, another neighbour’s garage had been broken into and alcohol stolen and two cars opened and searched in the driveway next door. Anyone with information about these crimes is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

A SEAFORD woman who did an illegal U-turn in front of police on Frankston-Dandenong Road was later found to be driving an unregistered car with a blood alcohol reading of 0.1 per cent, Sunday 21 July. The 38-year-old lost her licence for 10 months and the car was impounded for 30 days. After demanding police give her a ride home, she was told she “may as well start getting used to calling a taxi”. The woman’s arrest was on the final night of the police’s Operation Armada. It involved 29 mobile units patrolling Frankston, Seaford, Carrum Downs, Langwarrin and Mornington and two booze buses and police chase cars on both sides of Nepean Highway, Frankston. Police conducted 2077 breath tests and nabbed 18 drink drivers. The highest reading was a P-plater on 0.154 per cent. Of 149 drug tests 20 drug drivers tested positive. Nine vehicles were impounded and 48 in-

A 44-year-old unlicensed driver with multiple prior convictions for similar offences was found in Orwil Street, Frankston, with marijuana in his possession. A six-year-old child was in the back seat. A 34-year-old Mornington man pulled over in Dunns Road told police he “knew [police] were out in force tonight” but drove anyway and blew 0.136 per cent. A 19-year-old probationary driver from Mt Eliza who went from P1s to P2s at midnight, Sunday 21 July, took his mates for a drive to celebrate being able to carry more than one peer passenger. He was pulled over in Young Street, Frankston. “Having four passengers in the car was legal, it was just the other two mates in the boot that wasn’t,” Senior Constable Greg Wolfe said. The teenager’s car was impounded for overloading. Operation commander Acting Sergeant Anthony Deason said: “It’s amazing how many idiots were out on our roads … putting people’s lives at risk, especially after all the advertising beforehand. “We can’t fix stupid, but we can give it a court date.” Operation Armada will be run periodically throughout the year.

Caring for our Community
Cottage a base for contrasting lifestyles Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE oldest house on the Mornington Peninsula is being used as a base from which to teach schoolchildren about the contrasting lives of early European settlers and Aboriginals. A traditional Bunurong dwelling, or willum, will be built alongside McCrae Homestead. The willum and remnant camp site complete with traditional Indigenous tools will serve as an interpretive installation alongside the wood drop slab hut built in 1844 by lawyer Andrew McCrae and his two eldest sons. The National Trust-owned McCrae Homestead, in Beverly Road, McCrae - one of the oldest homes in Victoria and the oldest owned by the trust – will offer a “cross-cultural education experience” to primary school children. The experience, developed by the trust’s education team in partnership with the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation, will show students the similarities, and differences, between a colonial settler family (the McCraes) and Indigenous communities during life in the mid19th century. Their hands-on experiences can range from churning butter, laundering with washboards to searching for animal tracks, collecting bush foods and learning Bunurong dance moves. When building his house, McCrae hoped to make a success of the 8269 hectares he had bought from the colonial government. His Arthur’s Seat Run was at the base of what was

then known as Arthur’s Seat Hill, or Wonga Mar by the Bunurong. McCrae and his artist wife Georgiana lived there for six years with their seven children. While there, their daily life was recorded in diaries, letters and sketches, including their interactions with the Bunurong people. Their accounts suggest there was reciprocal regard for one another which led to the formation of some close friendships, particularly between Bunurong man,
Ben Benji, and his “lubra” (wife) Eliza, and Georgiana McCrae and her children. This seeming harmonious relationship was in stark contrast to that of many of the McCraes’ colonial counterparts during the same time. National Trust of Australia (Victoria) CEO Simon Ambrose, said the cross-cultural experience was designed to “introduce primary school students to the similarities, and differences, between a colonial settler fam-
ily and local Indigenous communities during life in the mid-19th century”. It would be a “valuable opportunity to not only recognise the relationship between the two cultures, but to celebrate and promote the histories of our Indigenous peoples. “We believe it is the National Trust’s responsibility to protect and share Australia’s diverse natural, cultural, social and Indigenous heritage,” Mr Ambrose said. Taungurung woman and Indigenous
educator Samantha Trist, will teach students about “following Bunjil’s lore” and show them how to search for animal tracks and bush foods Students will also learn Bunurong dance moves and the importance of storytelling and ceremony. Ms Trist said she hopes that students can “walk away with a new level of respect for our land”. McCrae Homestead, 11 Beverly Road, McCrae, is open 11am to 4pm Sundays (closed July and August).

Help for ‘decision makers’ SARAH Cresp wants to hear about the experiences, stories, and perspectives of the people who make decisions on behalf of those with end-stage dementia. She says research in Australia, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States shows that substitute decision makers can have rewarding and challenging experiences. A registered nurse, teaching associate, and Doctor of Philosophy candidate, at Monash University’s peninsula campus, Ms Cresp said the needs of substitute decision makers “are becoming increasingly apparent to clinicians, researchers, and policy makers”. However, not enough was known to design support and training programs for those who make decision
on behalf of others. “Therefore, wider research is needed to understand what they need and how they manage the challenges of the role,” Ms Cresp said. Health-care professionals who went “above and beyond their role for the person living with dementia” earned the trust of substitute decision makers and improved the quality of life for those with dementia. “Substitute decision makers can experience guilt, mistrust, and confusion; difficulty in translating quality of life; family conflict; and uncertainty and reactivity,” Ms Cresp said. “But by partnering with healthcare professionals, they find practical ways to manage these challenges, which can lead to an effective and satisfying outcome.”
Ms Cresp said about 250 people in Australia “are falling victim to dementia each day”, which meant a further 250 people needed to become their decision makers. The number of people with dementia was set to almost triple by 2056. For more information or to participate in the DeciDES (Decisionmaking in Dementia: Education and Support) project go to www.monash. edu/medicine/nursing/phd-decides or email sarah.cresp@monash.edu or call 0450 002 349.

Hardy pruners weather stormy weekend THE forecast promised rain, hail, freezing winds, a top temperature of just 12 degrees and very little sunshine and, for once, it was accurate. Volunteers rugged up for Mornington Botanical Rose Gardens’ midJuly pruning weekend in conditions described as “appalling all day”. “The best place to be was the warm kitchen,” assistant secretary Janelle Owen said. “About 50 brave volunteers attended each day, which was great in such miserable conditions. Also, 30 members of the public braved the elements for the pruning demonstrations – a true dedication to our roses.” Volunteer Ron Fisher arranged “show bags” for the demonstration participants. “No one went home hungry,” Ms Owen said. “Generous volunteers provided soups, sandwiches, cakes and slices, scones, fruit platters, herb breads, as well as the hot food. “All were welcomed by the hungry hordes coming in out of the cold at each break.” Ms Owen said the kitchen team set up on Friday and stayed from 8am on Saturday and Sunday and then cleaned up at the end and put the room back to normal before going home. “And, after the successful pruning weekend, the volunteers did a fantastic job in getting rid of those tiresome clippings in such an efficient manner.” Wild weather: Clockwise from top left: Jill Hardy in red beanie and Cheryl Richards; Paul Warburton; Peter Hyde; Rose Society of Victoria demonstrator Carl Ellefsen; and, Barbara Newman with Francis Adams behind.

cal paper suitable for peer scrutiny be produced … rather than a blanket statement to the general public,” the scientist stated. “For ethical experimental work a real ‘opt out’ option should be in place, otherwise a research experiment would not be expected to pass the usual university research ethics committee approval. “This pathway seems to have been avoided with the involvement of health department powers over known infectious diseases processes, such as typhoid outbreaks, where overriding powers are approved. “If your street is sprayed, how can you have an ‘opt out’ option? Conversely, if people do have a real '’opt out'’ option the experimental design would appear to be compromised.” According to the DHHS there were no objections in March from residents when “a pilot spraying program using a residual pesticide” was undertaken in French, Dawn and Goyarra streets, Rye. The “trial” involved spraying trees, bushes and fences along the roads and nature strips with the “barrier spray” bifenthrin. In a letter to councillors, Blairgowrie resident Judy Muir reminded them that Argentine ants were once sprayed with the suspected carcinogen dieldrin. “Hindsight is indeed insightful,” Ms Muir said. She said a “precautionary approach is absolutely necessary before spraying” and asked councillors to “consider most carefully all aspects of random, unscientific trials on both our environment and those who live and visit here”.

Continued from Page 1 Councillors last week called for a report from CEO John Baker on the impact of poisoning mosquitos in areas of Rye, Sorrento, Blairgowrie, and Tootgarook “on the community, flora, fauna and environment of such areas”. The motion moved by Cr Hugh Fraser said there was a “paucity of information that confirms mosquitoes are the vector or cause of the infections”. Residents were concerned that “the broad use of chemical sprays appears to be very drastic action and a disproportionate response…” On Saturday, Cr Gill circulated an email containing opinions he attributed to a scientist “who prefers to be unnamed for professional purposes”. The scientist called the study “an experiment” being doner outside of an “established protocol for dealing with infectious diseases problems”. Asked by The News if chemicals in water, sprayed or "fogged", to control mosquitos was the type of "research" he envisaged when announcing the federal grant, Mr Hunt said it was “vital” to find out about the causes of this “horrible and painful medical condition”. "It is my hope that the Victorian government listens to the community to provide an effective study into the cause of the ulcer, as well as inform the local community on the scope of measures which will be undertaken, with appropriate measures taken to assist those who do not wish to participate,” Mr Hunt said. The unnamed scientist quoted by Cr Gill said other scientists were also concerned with how the Buruli ulcer study was being undertaken. “I suggest that [the shire] request that a techni-

MEDICAL equipment and a team specialising in eye care are this week operating from a clinic in Lospalos Hospital, Dili, Timor-Leste. The team from the Mornington Peninsula working under the name Specs for Lospalos is led by Rosebud Specsavers senior optometrist Colleen Hammond. The team’s first day in Dili included meetings at the hospital’s national eye
centre, Canossian Order Madre Guilhermina Marcal and the British Consul. The team landed with 1000 prescription spectacles - donated by Specsavers in partnership with Lions Recycle for Sight - and retinal scanner, slit lamp, visual fields and trial lens set. The $30,000 worth of equipment, weighing 90 kilograms, was donated by members of the peninsula’s optom-
etry and ophthalmic professions. Cr Hugh Fraser said that once the equipment was installed at the hospital the team was able to run a five-day clinic. The visit and clinic was organised by the Timor-Leste Embassy in Canberra, medical professionals in Dili and Lospalos, the Canossian nuns and government local administrators in Lospalos.

Residents fear future road upgrade Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au RESIDENTS concerned about any proposed widening of Bungower Road for use by heavy vehicles are supporting Somerville resident Chris Bakewell. They have backed his stand against a Port of Hastings 2018 Port Development Strategy which confirms that “key transport routes [including Bungower Road] have been earmarked for upgrading by VicRoads”. The residents fear the road is unsuitable for industrial traffic and, although nothing is planned for several years, Mr Bakewell said a “lack of consultation and clarity with residents” was worrying. His submission reads: “We, the local residents of Somerville and Tyabb, request that common sense and respect for the rights of residents on Bungower and Mornington-Tyabb roads are respected as there is a much better and less contentious route on the Western Port Highway.” The submission has been sent to the Port of Hastings Authority, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, Hastings MP Neale Burgess, and the mayor Cr David Gill. Bungower Road runs from Nepean Highway, Mornington, to Tyabb-Tooradin Road, Somerville crossing Moorooduc Highway, Mornington Peninsula Freeway, Stumpy Gully, Boes and Coolart roads, Western Port Highway and Frankston-Flinders Road. The residents fear greater truck use of Bungower Road, which was “not
THE rain didn’t dampen the message from protesters on Friday when they gathered to show their unease at the prospect of Bungower Road being made suitable for heavy vehicles. Picture: Gary Sissons built for heavy haulage” will ruin their quality of life. “What is the rationale for diverting heavy vehicles through residential areas?” Mr Bakewell said. “Peninsula Link is already taking a consistent flow of commuter traffic from the peninsula. The addition of more long, heavy, articulated vehicles will have a negative impact on the flow
… getting to and from work.” The Port of Hastings development strategy confirms that while no new roads need to be built, a “greater focus on the priority and condition of eastwest connections on Tyabb-Mornington, Bungower and Tyabb-Tooradin roads will be required to meet medium to higher growth demands”.
CEO Malcolm Geier said Bungower Road is one of the roads that the port study recommends for future evaluation for upgrading. “The purpose of the port development strategy is to encourage these conversations and ensure that good long-term planning is undertaken well before these things become issues.”
Mr Bakewell said the Western Port Highway was a “purpose-built alternative which does not impact [on] residential zoning like Bungower Road” and was the residents’ preferred link between the port and Melbourne. It is a “far better” route for heavy vehicles than Bungower, Frankston-Flinders, Jones or Coolart roads, he said.

Playground fun thanks to Lions CHILDREN on the Southern Peninsula will soon be able to use a purpose-built, sensory playground, at Rosebud Hospital, thanks to money raised by the Flinders Lions Club. “The special playground will help families support children with regulation and sensory needs,” children’s services program manager Karen Anderson said. It would help children having difficulty with balance and those having difficulty with selfmovement and body position, she explained. Children enjoy swings so the playground will have a special swing with a range of attachments to suit each child. “We will be able to help families adapt what they can access at home and in their local park to meet their children’s needs,” Ms Anderson said. “A small trampoline and table for other sensory work will sit under a shade sail and atop
rubber soft fall area to keep everyone safe.” About $35,000 was raised for Peninsula Health through the Lions Club of Flinders second annual Flinders Motoring Heritage show over the Easter long weekend. More than 150 classic cars in Flinders Village attracted motor enthusiasts in their hundreds. “We had such an exciting day with so many wonderful cars on display and we will be running the event again next year,” Lion Mary Iles said. Money raised will also buy an HbA1c machine to help doctors determine how to treat children and young adults with diabetes. The Lions Club of Flinders has donated more than $60,000 to Peninsula Health. “We are excited to be able to build the sensory playground thanks to the Lions club’s efforts and the support of everybody who attended and organised the event,” Ms Anderson said.

fifth in the doubles. In September he will head to New Zealand to play for Australia. The children, who live in Mt Martha and attend Mt Martha Primary, train at the Mornington Table Tennis Club in Dunns Road, Mornington. More international competition comes later in December when Mornington Table Tennis Club hosts the 2020 Oceania Olympic qualifier event.
Power cut shocks traders, residents Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ANGRY traders and their customers in the Mt Martha shopping strip were reeling on Thursday after United Energy cut the power from 8am-5pm. The power cut was necessary for the removal of one wooden power poles and to put power lines underground. The pole, now replaced by one metal silver lamppost, were taken out to improve views across Port Phillip from a house being built alongside the heritage-listed Green Gables near the Dominion Road corner. Most of the village’s 41 businesses were forced to close their doors or restrict staff hours on what would normally be a busy trading day. The outage, which United Energy said affected 224 “mostly residential” customers, turned the shopping centre into a ghost town. Traders learned of the outage and closure of the Esplanade and parts of Bay Road by letter on 18 July. Mr Curtis Cafe proprietor Lyndal Barnes, who met with 25 aggrieved traders on Tuesday night, said the “fact-finding session was all about where we could go from here”. “They [United Energy] have been dismissive of us,” she said. “The whole issue could have been better discussed with us rather than them just them deciding it by themselves. “At this time of year when things are slow every bit of income helps. “It is going to hurt everyone. Lots of people in hospitality are casuals and they will lose that day’s work.”

United Energy would not say how much would be charged for the day’s work but was rumoured to be $125,000-$320,000. Vince Giuliano, the owner of the house, said he had no idea the repercussions of removing the poles would be so major. “I’m very disappointed,” he said. “At no stage were we told there would be such disruption to traders. It’s very unfortunate and not something we wanted to cause. “The timing was not of our choice.” Mr Giuliano said he understood United Energy had also wanted to do
some works to upgrade power supplies to the village. “We know a lot of the traders there and this is not something we would have wanted to cause,” Mr Giuliano said. He said the family home being built on the Esplanade was “something we have been dreaming about for 40 years”. Mt Martha Village Clinic had to reschedule 140 medical appointments and 37 pathology appointments on the day. Dr Mark Sujecki said a hired generator only powered the computers. There
was no lighting and he feared vaccines in the fridge could spoil. “We’ve never had an outage like this and it is devastating,” he said. “It’s such a critical situation and yet there was very little community consultation. We had only four days’ notice.” Dr Sujecki, who has been at the clinic 26 years, said a better time for a planned outage would have been overnight. “United Energy were totally inflexible,” he said. “They just said, ‘We gave you notice’ and that because they are an essential service they can do what they want.
“I told them we were an essential service, too.” Mt Martha Terry Bateman Pharmacy’s David Evans said it was “negligent” of United Energy not to have asked what was the most suitable day for the work. Ritchies’ Supermarket manager Mark Rayner said his major concern was keeping the fridges going. “No one will be here because people tend to stay away when these things happen,” he said. No power to lights, mincer, band saw, tenderiser, slicer and scales meant Bells Gourmet Meats opened 6-9am and after 5pm. “The outage meant a loss of trade and inconvenience as we had to move staff around,” Jake Joffe said. “Not having power raises work safety issues and we had to close for the day.” NewsXpress’s Geoff Seymour said he was grateful Thursday was not the night of the $110 million Powerball jackpot. “It certainly would have been a panic if the jackpot hadn’t gone off [last week] and it was up to $150 million.” United Energy’s corporate affairs manager Emma Tyner said on Thursday: “We know how inconvenient it is to be without power and when we are planning work we always look at how to minimise the impact on customers. “Given the area is popular for tourism, we selected a weekday to minimise the impact on weekend visitors and traders.” Cafe Via Battiste, on social media, estimated United Energy’s “complete lack of … planning” would have cost traders $500,000.

Honour board brings memories of home Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FORMER Balnarring resident David Wisken thought he was seeing double when visiting The Sir John Monash Centre at Villers-Bretonneux, France, in April. Touring the museum and interpretative centre on Anzac Day he turned a corner only to come face to face with the Balnarring honour board. It looked exactly the same as the one he recalled hanging up in the old Balnarring Mechanics Institute back home. This new board – a painstaking constructed replica of the original now hanging at Balnarring hall – includes the names of the young men from the district who fought overseas in World War I. It is a feature of the museum which is adjacent to the Australian War Memorial opened in April last year to commemorate the Australian service men and women who served on the Western Front. The attendant was unable to tell Mr Wisken how the replica board came to be on display but, curiosity roused, Mr Wisken sent a photo of the board to his parents. They confirmed it was identical to the one at Balnarring. Balnarring Historical Society’s Ilma Hackett said a replica of the original honour board was made specifically for the Sir John Monash Centre. “The board was selected by the centre’s museum because of its Australian iconography and use of Australian timbers,” she said. Enhancing its credentials was that it was an “indication

of the sacrifice of small communities throughout Australia”. Ms Hackett said the original honour board ordered by the Balnarring Progress Association in 1920 was
the work of Robert Prenzel, of South Yarra. “One of the principal factors in its selection was its size and shape,” Ms Hackett said. “Most honour boards are horizontal
and quite large but Balnarring, being a small community, didn’t have a large number of men joining the AIF. “Balnarring Progress Association originally selected a design from a
Plant Sale
Cox & Co. catalogue but was told the design of two panels and a scroll wasn’t suitable as there were too few names. “Cox & Co. suggested an alternate but the association went with a design submitted by Robert Prenzel, of South Yarra, who inscribed the names of 26 men onto a copper panel and carved gumnuts and gum leaves onto the board thought to be mountain ash. At the top is the Rising Sun Anzac emblem and across the bottom the words: “They Went at Duty’s Call”. Mr Prenzel’s quote for 30 pounds included “delivery to the nearest railway station” which at the time was Bittern. The line didn’t come through Balnarring until 1921. Money to pay for the original board was raised by Welcome Home functions honouring returning soldiers, and by subscriptions. It was unveiled in the hall in November 1920 by Major Balmain, who lived at Coolart. The replica board for VillersBretonneux was made by Ross Johnstone, who Ms Hackett says is one of the last carpenters in Victoria to make honour boards. He was assisted by Dean Smith, of Environmental Creators, who cast and recreated the original copper plate in silicone. Mr Johnstone discovered that the original board – which celebrates its centenary next year – is Victorian blackwood fiddleback – and not mountain ash. Blackwood fiddleback timber is said to be rare these days. “He was lucky to find a supply to make the replica board which is exact in every way,” Ms Hackett said.

An equally spacious dining area adjoins the kitchen and opens out to a lovely entertaining deck, and to the elegant formal lounge is a gas log-effect heater. A handy rumpus room creates a great zone for kids to play away from the main living areas, or with its proximity to the main bedroom could just as easily become a spacious parents retreat.

Combat mosquitoes with biodiversity, not chemicals It beggars belief that the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services wants to use a variety of synthetic pesticides to control mosquitoes to help stop the spread of the Buruli ulcer. This response is so wrong for so many obvious reasons (“Mayor wants brakes put on mossies battlers” The News 23/7/19). There is no scientific proof that mosquitos spread the Buruli ulcer. So why douse the “nature” strips and waterways of the southern Mornington Peninsula with a variety of pesticides if there is no causal link? Spraying some areas and not others is incomplete, unscientific and therefore bound to fail. Such a regime may kill mosquito larvae on nature strips and in waterways, but what about the much larger adjoining areas and other bodies of water? It has to be an all or nothing approach, otherwise it’s bound to fail. Study leader, Dr Tim Stinear is quoted as saying synthetic pyrethroid pesticides had a “long history of safe and effective use in mosquito control activities”. This is oxymoronic. If it was effective you would not have to do it for six months year after year. And please, where are the scientific studies proving the safety of these pesticides? We cannot afford to lose any nontarget species or put human and environmental health in jeopardy. In 1962, famed American biologist Rachael Carson published her seminal book “Silent Spring”, proving and warning of the dangers in using pesticides. Yet here we are more than 50 years later with escalating rates of cancer, ill health, and biodiversity decline proposing to do the same thing. Three things will effectively control mosquitoes and other insects: biodiversity, biodiversity, biodiversity. Actively preserving, promoting and providing large areas of pristine habitat will go a long way in controlling mosquitos and other environmental problems. George Russell, Portsea
Harmful choice The proposed plan to reduce the mosquito population is unwarranted and potentially very harmful to the environment (“Mayor wants brakes put on Mossies battlers” The News 23/7/19). There is no proof that the bacterium responsible for Buruli ulcer (mycobacterium ulcerans) is transmitted by mosquitoes and the current antibacterial regime is very effective. The actual ulcer is never life-threatening to otherwise healthy children and adults – and sometimes heals without any medication at all. Bee populations are declining rapidly all over the world. Neonicotinoid insecticides need to be completely banned – and all the others (even pyrethrins) need to be severely curtailed. Dr Michael O’Ryan, Frankston
Acting on plastics A major risk to the Mornington Peninsula’s environment is single use plastics entering our bays, ocean and landfill. We need to stop using
these products. The European parliament voted to ban by 2021 10 single-use plastics most commonly found on European beaches - cutlery, cottonbuds, straws, polystyrene cups and balloon sticks. There are mandatory national reduction targets of 25 per cent by 2025 for plastics for which there is no alternative, such as single-use burger boxes, sandwich boxes, containers for fruits, vegetables, desserts and ice cream. Fifteen years ago Coles Bay, Tasmania became the first Australian place to ban plastic bags. Supermarkets are phasing out single-use plastic bags. Councils throughout Australia have resolved to ban single-use plastics in municipal centres and supported events. Bayside, Banyule, Monash, Darebin, Melbourne, Geelong, Indigo, Wyndham and the Surf Coast have implemented or are developing single use plastics ban policies. Nepean Ratepayers’ Association strongly supports Mornington Peninsula Shire’s steps to reduce single use plastics and implement a peninsula-wide ban. The shire has supported two initiatives: Boomerang Bags, a world-wide program started in Burleigh Heads in 2013; and Peninsula Last Straw – a volunteer initiative that supplied paper straws to Dromana businesses (now extended to Rye, Mt Martha and Mornington). The Yarra Council’s Proudly Plastic Free pilot in July 2019 involved Fitzroy traders trying to eliminate single-use plastic water bottles, coffee cups, straws, bags, cutlery, plates and take away containers. Participating businesses are included on that council’s zero waste map. In Bayside there is a three-year plan to install water bottle re-filling stations along the Bay Trail; collection points for soft flexible nonrecyclable plastics at the city’s corporate centre and Beaumaris library and development of a reducing plastic waste webpage. Our council is well placed to lead and demonstrate an even greater commitment toward saving our environment. Colin Watson, president Nepean Ratepayers’ Association
Hydrogen hoax The lies spread by our politicians and vested interests about the production of hydrogen from dirty brown coal are breathtaking (“Start made on Hastings hydrogen plant” The News 23/7/19). The only reason the hydrogen from brown coal venture is still showing signs of life is the $100 million injection of state and federal governments money. Our money. The idea that this process is clean is a great big furphy. Despite asking the consortium many times what the composition of any solid waste produced by the process of creating hydrogen consists of, and how it intends to deal with it, there has been total silence. All I can extrapolate from its non-response, is that it gets the clean fuel and Victoria can have the pollution. As usual, our state government has ridden roughshod over local governments and residents rights by cutting them out of any decision-making. Yes, we need new jobs for the people in the
Latrobe Valley, but do they have to be jobs that create more pollution than the industry that’s being replaced? Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach
Cutting carbon We still get doomsday predictions of an uninhabitable world bequeathed to our grandchildren because of (our current, naturally-occurring and recurring) climate change. It’s only a few degrees. I fully understand how some easily led reality deniers pour scorn on others because they can’t understand what the other person is saying. The “solution” is always to stop burning coal. I’ll bet the protesters at the Adani mine all drove there. Merely not burning coal is akin to urinating on a bushfire. Billions of humans burn wood to provide cooking and heating. If the carbon warming theory, based on one theoretical fact, is indeed the problem, this is what should happen: Promote the growth of the trillions of tonnes of carbon dioxide-absorbing plankton and algae in the oceans and lakes. These organisms are one of the natural carbon/oxygen regulators. Trees and other plants are another. Stop burning coal. Stop burning petrol and diesel. Make all electricity generation nuclear. Take 50,000 to 100,000 freight trucks (each of about 40 per cent engine efficiency) off Australian roads by dispatching all inter-city freight by rail. Reduce the highway speed limit to 80kph, thus making large engines unnecessary and conserving fuel. Make all public transport free. Go all the way and get rid of all heavy industry, steel making and concrete production. Get rid of capitalism, which must have a perpetually increasing market. Most importantly, do not call into existence our unborn great grandchildren. We must reduce the human population by 80 per cent, which would also mean an 80 per cent reduction in food animals and consumption. One child a family. I could go on, there is so much more than just not burning coal. Some of these actions would be good for mankind and society anyway. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
Cheers for China It was with mixed feelings that I read about the wind farm planned for French Island (“Hope for wind farm blows in from China” The News 23/7/19). As someone who always wanted Australia to be on 100 per cent green energy it was welcome news that a combined wind farm and solar array is going to be built on French Island. The side of the story that didn’t warm the heart was that the vendor, Stefan Borzecki, had tried to get planning approval but was not successful with the state government. As an ALP member I am hoping that was not this current government. Given their active role in greening the state I would doubt that it was. In any case three cheers for this important project. Bob Weis, Balnarring
Outage outrage It beggars belief that one household, in the interests of improving it’s bay views, can cause the Mt Martha Village commercial area and surrounding households to be without power for
almost 12 hours. Most of us effected were under the impression that the outage was a maintenance matter, therefore a future benefit for all. Not so. All shops, excluding the supermarket, but including medical, dental, chemist and optometrist were forced to close for the day, losing income and disrupting the entire community. Regardless of the fact that the houseowner presumably met the direct cost of the operation, the total financial cost to the community would run into many hundreds of thousands of dollars. On a personal level, as an elderly couple, we were without heating and unable to prepare meals, were forced to find warmth for the day and eat out at a direct cost that would have been duplicated all over Mt Martha. Then add the loss of income to shopkeepers and professional service providers, not counting the inconvenience to their customers. As a former chairman of the now defunct Mt Martha Community Association, I have some past experience in dealing with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council on matters relating to individual and community applications on local matters. That council, not renowned for quick and easy approvals, gave this particular application the go ahead, being as it is for the benefit of one household to the short term disruption of the whole community, is beyond my understanding. Lloyd R Smith, Mt Martha.
Pensioners miss out I have received another disinformation email from [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt: “The Morrison government has listened to and acted on the reasonable concerns expressed by older Australians who receive a part pension.” A key phrase left out is “rich pensioners”. The vast majority of aged pensioners (75 per cent) will get nothing from the changes to the deeming rate because they don’t have super, shares or bank deposits. Mr Hunt’s own numbers (1,083,00 out of 4,601,100 benefit) support this. To get a part pension, a couple which owns a home must have $394,500 in “assessable assets” and those who do not own a home must have $605,000. Once assessable assets exceed the lower threshold the pension reduces by $3 a fortnight for each $1000 which exceeds the lower threshold. Think about this for just a moment or two. Out of 40,000 pensioners in Flinders district only 10,000 get any benefit. Many of the other 30,000 who were left out voted for him in their own worst interests. Those pensioners who need help the most are left out - those without homes or any “assessable assets”. The aristocratic and privileged should be using their savings, super, shares and franking credits to retire on until they get to the bottom. They can live like the other 75 per cent, from hand to mouth. So what we have is just another program pandering to rich and privileged aristocrats under the guise of giving a flying duck about those really in need. There is no mention that he is going to enjoy a $6900 pay raise to his $345,000 salary, 2.5 tonnes of taxpayer-funded entitlements and a $11,000 tax cut. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Tyabb bush fires - claim made for damages Compiled by Cameron McCullough AS a result of a fire which swept through his property on February 15th, Wiliam Pike, orchardist, of Tyabb, claimed £488 from Thomas Unthank, orchardist, Tyabb, in the County Court, before Judge Wasley and special jury, on July 21st, on the ground that Unthank started the fire without taking sufficient precautions to prevent it spreading. After a short retirement, the jury returned a verdict for plaintiff, with £145 damages and costs to be taxed. *** DONALD McDonald, writing to the “Australasian” says: The death of Mr P. L. C. O’Shannassey, of the Victorian police, is deeply regretted by all who know his fine qualities and character and deep interest he had always taken in bird life. Stationed for many years alongside Westernport, he had a rare opportunity of noting the habits of the migratory shore birds, and both in these notes and contributions to “The Australasian,” where he generally used the nom-deplume of “Nemo,” his observations have been frequently placed on record. He was a sportsman and a naturalist – tastes more frequently associated now than was the case a few years ago. Mr George Shepherd and other nature lovers write with sympathy and appreciation of the many fine qualities of the late Mr O’Shannassey, whose death I deeply regret. *** MR D. McDonald, storekeeper, at
Young Street, who has had rather a long and severe illness, is now convalescent. *** MRS M. R. Deane, has been unable to attend business for the last week or so owing to illness. Her many friends wish her a speedy and complete recovery. *** A NUMBER of returned soldiers will be entertained by the “Wattle” club on Sunday (to-morrow.) The euchre tournament in connection with the R.S.A. will close on August 21st when lady’s and gents prizes of £1 is will be presented to the winners. Prizes donated by Mr J. C. Murphy and another member. *** ON Saturday 9th inst, Messrs Brody and Mason will conduct a sale at Frankston on account of Mr G. W. Booth. See advt. *** PENINSULA Water Supply – The water has now reached to Robinson’s Road having risen from Boggy Creek to the higher levels ahead. With the repair of many small leaks, the scheme can be regarded as a success. *** THE Minstrel concert in aid of the Frankston Football. Club was held successfully on Friday 25th July, and a profit of something like £10 is expected. A full report has been crowded out this issue. *** WE are requested to announce that
prizes won at the children’s sports at Frankston on Peace day will be available after the 5th inst. The Treasurer of the Anzac Appeal begs to acknowledge with thanks, the following donations – Committee Mechanics’. Institute £2 2s; Mark Brody 12s 6d. *** GOOD progress has been made with Mr G. W. Wells new brick building in Young Street, and a week or two more should see it occupied. Mr S. Lawrey, who carried out the brick work, is now engaged in erecting a cottage for Mr J. A. Cameron, blacksmith, in the same street. *** OWING to the illness of Mr J. D. Jennings, the annual meeting of the Frankston Progress Association has been further postponed. Mr Jennings was compelled to take to his bed this week with influenza, and his medical adviser says it will be a fortnight at least before he is about again. *** A REMINDER is given that Mr Armstrong’s clearing sale takes place on the property at Seaford on Thursday 7th August, when Messrs Brody and Mason will submit to auction, household furnishings, stock, implements, vehicles, etc. Full particulars appear in advertisement. *** IN the death of Mrs Gregory, which sad event we briefly recorded last week, Frankston has sustained a severe loss. A resident of the district for many
years the deceased lady took a keen interest in all matters affecting the welfare of the community. She possessed marked organising ability, and held decided views on all matters of moment. Her sound common sense and good keen judgment caused her counsel to be sought frequently in matters relating to the public weal. Of extremely charitable disposition the late Mrs Gregory did much good by stealth as many a needy family throughout the Peninsula could testify. She was a liberal supporter of the Melbourne Children’s Hospital, and many of the charitable organisations of the State will miss her ready and cheerful assistance. In her home life, Mrs Gregory was an ideal wife and mother, being one to whom the ties of home and family strongly appealed. Her death has been a sad blow to the bereaved husband, Mr A. H. Gregory, and family and general sympathy is extended to them in their dark hour. The private interment of the remains of the deceased lady took place in the Frankston cemetery on Saturday last. *** OUR LETTER BOX. MR WELLS’ REJOINDER. TO THE EDITOR. Sir, With reference to Mr Joseph R. McComb’s “jumble” statement in your last issue I think he is well over the fence with assertions he is not able to prove. I overlook his inaccuracies as I attribute them to his lack of knowledge. Out of consideration for you, Mr Editor, I won’t go into details, as your

space is valuable. I would like to point out that Mr McComb admits that his name is missing from subscription lists issued in connection with movements for the welfare of Frankston. He excuses himself by saying – “If lists are not presented, how can one’s name be seen?” Well thought out. Then he quibbles about the difference between a cemetery and a reserve. Perhaps he will be able to arrive at a correct conclusion when he has digested the dictionary he has swallowed. He refers to the price of wood which presumably comes under the heading of “High cost of living.” I suppose his next will be a query as to what width of tyre should be placed on perambulators, and so on. I might state at once that as to the clearing of the Frankston cemetery, the matter is one for him to mind his own business. Does he think he is deputed special officer to take charge of the affairs of the Frankston cemetery? His actions point that way. He has lodged his protest re what he terms “destruction,” so let us see what becomes of it. Mr McComb is only one of hundreds interested in the cemetery, and he is the only one I have heard adversely criticise the work that has been carried out. Yours &c., F. W. WELLS. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 2 August 1919

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The Dreadlock Holiday Debacle By Stuart McCullough I FIND it unpleasant. Not just in part but as a terrifying whole. Just the very thought of it makes me feel overwhelmed by nausea; as though I’d just accidentally switched channels and unwittingly exposed myself to several seconds of ‘Love Island’ or had fallen head-first into a skip bin – if, in fact, there’s a difference. I become sweaty, red-faced and nervous – even more so than usual. I don’t know if it’s the lack of control or just a deep-seeded respect for gravity, but I really don’t like flying. It’s one of the many things that Mr. T and I have in common. We were going to Thailand. In retrospect, I feel I may have misunderstood the question. When my wife asked me whether I wanted to go to Thailand, I agreed, thinking it was high time I freshened up my wardrobe and bought some new ties. Only when we pulled into the airport car park did I begin to suspect there was air travel involved. That said, my wife’s suitcase ought to have made me suspicious. Her insistence that I retrieve my passport for what I assumed would be a routine trip to Southland suddenly made a lot more sense. The airport car park is one gigantic hedge maze made entirely from sedans. Much like Burke and Wills had done before us if, in fact, they’d been driving a Passat and not a camel, we wandered aimlessly until, by chance, we came across a empty space. Most people would then make a dash for the courtesy bus, but as we always like to arrive at the airport a full twelve hours before our scheduled departure time, my wife decided to put the time to good use and ring our hotel. Ostensibly, the phone call was to make sure that we could get a transfer from the airport. Instead, it revealed that we had no booking – something the company organizing our travel arrangements had been informed of some time earlier but had neglected to mention. My wife

viewed it as a disaster. I, on the other hand, viewed it as fate; a giant blinking neon sign telling me to flee the airport on foot. After my wife administered a small dose of chlorophyll, I woke up in the departure lounge; my limbs splayed and a river of drool that could rival the Euphrates spilling over my chin. Handing me my boarding pass, it was clear that my hour of reckoning had arrived and it was time to climb aboard. I took both a deep breath and some prescription medication and staggered towards the check-in desk. We were flying Jetstar. Better still, we were flying business class with Jetstar. I have rarely flown business class, so I’ve not really got anything to compare it to, but it did make me
wonder what kind of business they’re referring to. Corner milk bar? Possibly. One of those pop-up shops that sells dodgy DVDs and then disappears overnight? Quite likely. But even small business class was still a great surprise as we took our seats nearer to the pointy end of the plane than I’d anticipated. My wife was to my right. To my left was a young man. I’m not sure how’d I’d describe him. On the one hand, it’s wrong to judge a person on the basis of their appearance. On other, I feel we can all agree that blonde dreadlocks never work. Never ever. At an airport, nothing screams ‘bag search’ to customs staff quite like blonde dreadlocks. But this young man had a very serious set of blonde dreadlocks.
It began before even the in-flight safety demonstration. When the drinks tray arrived at our row, the young man who (for ease of reference) I shall refer to as ‘Dreadlock Holiday’ motioned to the flight attendant to go no further. After a moment of confusion, he made it clear that the attendant was free to go; but that he should leave the drinks tray and its entire contents behind. I’d say for ‘safekeeping’, but nothing could be further from the truth. It quickly became apparent that this young man was a threat to the existence of every beverage within a fiftymetre radius. It was as though he was attempting to drink his way to freedom. Once the flight began, Dreadlock Holiday began to methodically extract every ounce of value out of the nine-hour flight to Thailand he could. It wasn’t possible for a flight attendant to get past him without having their sleeve tugged by the thirsty young man in dreadlocks. He was incredibly polite; always saying ‘please’, ‘thank you’ along with more practical statements such as ‘fill her up’. As the flight progressed, he began to balance out his consumption by drinking water after every eight or nine standard drinks. To ensure that he made the most of the situation, he also began stuffing water bottles into his backpack. I watched on, not in disdain but admiration. Here was I, anxious beyond description; nervously counting down to the moment I reconnected with terra firma. Dreadlock Holiday, on the other hand, was treating the event as though it was New Year’s Eve. It kind of put all my worrying into perspective. As we finally arrived at our destination, I headed off with my wife and watched the young man stagger off into the distance, no doubt to have his luggage searched by customs. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Sorrento step up to top place DIVISION ONE
By Brodie Cowburn PINES have let top spot on the ladder slip out of their grasp after a defeat to Frankston YCW on Saturday. The Stonecats hosted the Pythons, and came into the contest desperate for a win. The powerhouse club has suffered all year with inconsistent form, and needed a victory to stay in the mix for a finals berth. Pines got off to the better start, and went into the half time break in the box seat. Up by 21 points at half time, the reigning premiers looked in a good position to go on and claim a win. YCW looked like a different side after half time, racing out of the blocks to take Pines by surprise. Pines were held scoreless in the third term, and conceded four unanswered goals. The Stonecats were up by a goal heading into the final quarter, and kept up the barrage. They put another five goals on the board before the final siren rang. A poor second half from Pines saw them fall to a defeat against Frankston YCW 14.8 (92) to 11.7 (73). Josh Butland and Luke Paynter played a big part, kicking four goals each for YCW. Paynter was judged best on ground. The result was the only Division One seniors game decided by over two goals this weekend. With Pines having lost, Sorrento had a chance to claim top spot on the ladder if they defeated the Frankston Bombers.
Down to the wire: After trailing all day, Bonbeach made a final quarter comeback to claim the win against Mt Eliza. Picture: Andrew Hurst
The Bombers ran out to an early lead, but the Sharks quickly bit back. Frankston Bombers chances of victory were extinguished by their poor performance in front of goals. They had the bulk of the scoring opportunities but were too inaccurate to make Sprrento
pay. The Sharks had to work for it, but claimed top spot with a 15.7 (97) to 12.1 (89) win over the Bombers. Leigh Poholke had a good day for the Sharks, booting five goals. Poholke has enjoyed another good year, and has 59
goals to his name this season. Jake Di Pasquale also helped with a three goal effort, while Ethan King also played well for Sorrento. Jarrad Grant continued his good goalscoring form for Frankston, scoring three majors. At the other end of the ladder, bottom placed Mornington hosted Rosebud. The Bulldogs went into the game two wins behind ninth place. A win could prove vital in helping them secure survival in Division One. Rosebud on the other hand look to have improved on their 2018 season which saw them struggle. The Bulldogs showed plenty of bite early, and established a narrow early lead. Rosebud kept touch in a hard fought, high scoring first half, but the Bulldogs looked up for the challenge. Mornington went into half time up by fourteen points. The Buds weren’t willing to take the loss lying down, and kept in touch in the second half. Just nine points separated the two sides heading into the final quarter, with the game poised to go down to the wire. Both sides gave their all in the final quarter, and when the final siren sounded just one point was the difference between the two teams. Mornington were able to hold on to secure a thrilling, and important, win over Rosebud 17.11 (113) to 17.10 (112). Jackson Calder made a massive impact for Mornington, booting five goals. The haul took his tally for the year beyond 50. Adrian Speedy was also more
than handy, continuing his good form with a four goal effort. Mornington now sit just four points behind Edithvale-Aspendale, who travelled to take on Dromana. Edi-Asp started well with a five goals to one first quarter, and looked like they might pull off an upset. Dromana normally perform well at home, but were faced with a lot of hard work to get back in contention. Dromana performed a little better in the second quarter, and were able to keep the game competitive. They closed the gap to 14 points by half time, and closed it even further to five points by three-quarter-time. Despite leading all day, Edi-Asp were overrun by an impressive Dromana outfit. The final score read Dromana 10.13 (73) to Edithvale-Aspendale 9.12 (66). Same Fowler was best on ground with three goals. There was another thriller at Emil Madsen Reserve, as Bonbeach pulled off a brilliant come from behind win against Mt Eliza. The Redlegs led at every break of play, and were in control of the contest up by 16 at three-quarter time. A four goals to one final term saw the Redlegs throw away their lead. Bonbeach claimed the four points with a hard fought 11.5 (71) to 11.9 (75) win. Trent Dennis-Lane was at his brilliant best, scoring six goals for the second week running.
SUA Kangaroos mess with the Bulls 60th DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn KARINGAL have suffered their second loss for the year after a shock defeat against Langwarrin. The ladder leading Bulls were put on the back foot early by the Kangaroos. A strong first half performance saw Langwarrin hop out to a 17 point lead by half time. Karingal maintained pressure in the third quarter, but couldn’t close the gap enough to threaten Langwarrin. The Kangaroos were impressive all day and eventually secured a much deserved win. Langwarrin messed with the Bulls, and took them by the horns. The final score read Langwarrin 14.16 (100) to Karingal 10.8 (68). Marc Holt was held scoreless, which played a big part in Langwarrin getting the win. He has nine goals in his last five games. He scored 29 in his first five games of the year. Red Hill were able to get back to top of the ladder after defeating Rye at Red Hill Recreation Reserve. Rye struggled all afternoon, as Red Hill put on yet another defensive masterclass. The Demons were held to just two goals all day. Zach Vnes doubled Rye’s score on his own, booting five goals for the Hillmen. They claimed the victory 15.7 (97) to 2.3 (15). At Chelsea Reserve, the Chelsea claimed an entertaining win over Hastings. Brendan Fevola played in a rare away game for the Blues, but he was

upstaged by Chelsea talisman Curtis Bywater. Fevola booted five goals for the Blues, but Bywater had a mammoth haul of nine goals. Both sides traded blows all day, and Hastings went into the final term up by eight. A seven goals final quarter helped Chelsea claim the win 16.17 (113) to 15.8 (98). At Bunguyan Reserve, Tyabb se-
cured a win over Devon Meadows. The Yabbies have improved from last year, and had to work hard to claim the win in the scrappy contest. In a low scoring affair, Michael Altenkirch’s bag of five goals proved the difference. The Yabbies defeated the Panthers 9.10 (64) to 6.12 (48). Around the grounds, Pearcedale’s woes this season continued against
Somerville. Somerville claimed the four points with a 19.14 (128) to 8.8 (56) win. Crib Point also had another bad week. They were smashed by Seaford 22.19 (151) to 4.6 (30). Aaron Walton booted eight goals for the Tigers. He has 57 for the year, and is closing in on Karingal’s Marc Holt on the goal kicking leaderboard.

Southern’s Jowett joins US college SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie MILLA Jowett of Southern United flew out of Melbourne on Friday to start a two-year scholarship at Sussex County Community College in New Jersey. The US college announced recently that it had signed the 19-year-old defender who is expected to make an immediate impact in the starting 11 for Sussex Skylanders. Coaches Frank Vernacchio and Michael Rath have been touting Jowett as one of a number of key recruits who they hope can propel the college’s women’s soccer program all the way to the NJCAA National Championship Tournament. Jowett is a former Peninsula Strikers player who has been coaching a junior girls side at Mount Martha. She would have been proud of her ex-teammates at Southern last weekend when they gave one of their best displays of the season only to go down 3-0 to Bayside United at Monterey Reserve. With injured player-coach Melissa Maizels organising and encouraging them from the technical area and a sometimes raucous dugout Southern’s players gave a spirited and committed display and created two gilt-edged chances in the second half but couldn’t convert. It took Bayside until the 28th minute to break Southern’s defensive barrier and the opener came from a corner that Emma Runnalls headed home firmly. Five minutes later Cristina Cardaci’s run was superbly synced with a well-weighted and directed Runnalls’ through ball and Cardaci got clear and poked the ball past advancing Southern keeper Celia Kelsall to make it 2-0. In the 60th minute one of the best players on the pitch, teenage Southern central defender Sarah Tebbutt, slid down at the near post when trying to clear a corner and deflected the ball past Kelsall to make it 3-0. In the 76th minute a poor back pass was pounced on by Southern’s US import Jennifer Lum but advancing Bayside keeper Midori Arai spread herself well to block Lum’s attempt to knock the ball in behind her. Southern’s best chance was engineered by Lum 10 minutes later when she dinked the ball over the head of the last defender for substitute Claudia Beissmann to run onto only to send a well-struck volley fractionally over the bar. Southern’s under-19s lost 4-0 to Bayside, the under-16s went down 3-1 with India Scarr scoring for Southern while the under-14s lost 2-0. Some Southern sides played catch-up
games last week with the seniors losing to Box Hill United while the under-16s fought back from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Heidelberg United 4-2 thanks to a Talia Palmer hat-trick and a Rhys McKenna goal. The under-14s beat Heidelberg United 2-1 with goals from Eden Mckeown and Erica-Derrick Sarfo-Sarpong. In NPL2 news Langwarrin had to settle for a point in a 1-1 draw away to Box Hill United on Saturday. Javier Marangos put Box Hill ahead in the 72nd minute but a Max Etheridge header six minutes later tied it up. Luke Burgess returns to the Langy matchday squad next week after suspension. In State 1 news Mornington downed Warragul United 2-1 at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday. Youngster Kyron Kerr was instrumental in the opening goal when he won the ball in midfield in the 9th minute and surged forward. His attempt to release Sammy Orritt on the left was blocked but the ball fell to Liam Baxter who calmly struck it past Warragul keeper Liam Andersen. Ten minutes later Orritt made it 2-0 with a goal-of-the-season contender.

He cut in from the left then unleashed a stunning strike from just outside the area that nestled in the top far corner of goal. The second half wasn’t even a minute old when Kane Bentley lost possession and Warragul stormed down the left. The ball was played to the near post where Paul Kuol was unmarked and he controlled it with his first touch then thumped it past Mornington keeper Taylor Davidson to make it 2-1. Both sides had chances to add to the scoreline and Mornington eventually kept the visitors at bay during a frantic final few minutes. In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers hung on for a 2-2 away draw with Heatherton United on Saturday night. Strikers could have put this one to bed in the first half with two superb Danny Brooks free-kicks giving them a two-goal cushion while John Prescott missed chances to make the lead insurmountable. An Oscar Marsden own goal in the 52nd minute brought the home team back into the contest and Mario Hofmann made it 2-2 in the 63rd minute. Heatherton had chances to win comfortably but couldn’t convert.
In State 3 news Skye United’s promotion push suffered a setback with a 3-1 away loss to Bayside Argonauts last weekend. Skye’s sole response came from a second half penalty converted by Daniel Walsh. Senior coach Phil McGuinness and his men face a formidable foe in ladder leader Collingwood City at Kevin Bartlett Reserve on Friday night in what looms as a must-win contest for the local side. Frankston Pines lost 3-2 away to South Yarra last weekend despite leading 2-0 after 14 minutes thanks to goals from Joe O’Connor and CJ Hodgson. South Yarra’s winner arrived in the 90th minute. In State 4 news Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United enjoyed its biggest win of the season when it hammered Keysborough 8-0 at Coomoora Reserve on Saturday. Seaford striker Mitch Lander was out injured and his place was taken by Conor Mcfall who set up Jeremy Schwellinger in the 13th minute and his well-placed volley made it 1-0. Four minutes later Mcfall was the receiver when Dylan Waugh played the ball over the top and Mcfall ran through and slotted home the second. Two minutes before half-time Jeremy Schwellinger broke down the right and drew out Keysborough keeper Bobby Pejkovic before centring to Waugh who tapped the ball into an open goal. In the 59th minute Mcfall again proved his worth as he picked out Waugh with a long diagonal ball. Waugh rounded the stopper with his first touch and finished well with his non-preferred right foot to make it 4-0. Two minutes later Waugh notched his second consecutive hat-trick when he headed home a Matthias Schwellinger cross. In the 74th minute the Schwellinger brothers combined with Jeremy’s corner picking out Matthias at the top of the box and his shot through the crowded defence made it 6-0. Thomas Pollock was making his first senior appearance of the season and in the 84th minute his volley made it 7-0. In the 87th minute a mistimed goalkick landed at Mcfall’s feet and he controlled the ball before striking a shot that caught Pejkovic off his line to put a full stop on a scoreline that the gloveman no doubt would rather forget. Baxter drew 1-1 away from home with FC Noble Hurricanes. Lawrence Komba and Lewis Gibson should have given Baxter a half-time lead but the home team hit the front in the 65th minute when Nicholas Phae-

donos converted from the penalty spot. A Charlie Jones shot from just inside the box shortly after made it 1-1 but the visitors suffered a setback when Izaak Baar was sent off in the 68th minute and another penalty awarded. Despite a retake Baxter keeper James Foster held his nerve and the second attempt struck the post then the shot from the rebound was saved by the young custodian. In the dying moments the 10 men had the best chance of winning when Komba rounded the keeper but sent his shot wide of the target much to the dismay of the Baxter bench and supporters. In State 5 news Somerville Eagles took an important step towards the title by coming from behind to beat Aspendale Stingrays 3-1 at Tyabb Central Reserve on Saturday. Anthony Segavac broke the deadlock in the 48th minute but goals from substitute Daniel Hodge and star striker Mark Pagliarulo in the 58th and 61st minutes gave the home side the upper hand and a customary Dave Greening finish in the 72nd minute settled the matter. A shock 3-1 loss to Casey Comets has put pressure on second-placed Old Mentonians to keep pace with ladder leader Somerville despite having two games in hand. But Football Victoria’s fixturing may give Old Mentonians an advantage as they will play their second catch-up match a few days after the last official round of the season knowing exactly what needs to be done if they remain in the title race. Somerville is expected to contact the governing body about this matter. Rosebud and White Star Dandenong shared the spoils in a six-goal thriller at Greaves Reserve last weekend. Chris Parry (2) and Beau Sharpe scored for Rosebud who went into the clash a pronounced underdog. This weekend’s games: FRIDAY, 8.30pm: Collingwood City v Skye Utd (Kevin Bartlett Reserve), Frankston Pines v Ashburton Utd (Centenary Park). SATURDAY, 3pm: Langwarrin v Werribee City (Lawton Park), Richmond v Mornington (Kevin Bartlett Reserve), Peninsula Strikers v Knox City (Centenary Park), Seaford Utd v Noble Park Utd (North Seaford Reserve), Baxter v Keysborough (Baxter Park), Somerville v White Star Dandenong (Tyabb Central Reserve), Rosebud v Knox Utd (Olympic Park), Aspendale Stingrays v Hampton Park Utd (Jack Grut Reserve). SUNDAY, 3pm: Alamein v Southern United (HA Smith Reserve).

“When I was a contract installer, we installed for quite a few companies in and around Melbourne and I saw how we could improve and do it much better. At that point I decided to go out and give it a go. I started with working out of the shed at home, and then in 2009 we began our first stage of manufacturing,” with the opening of our first factory. “Within the first two years we had outgrown the factory and had to get a larger premises and started to focus on a key group of products relating just to external applications.” These days, Undercover Blinds have a full range of internal solutions without forgetting our roots as a specialised external fabricator.

New and old – walking with you the Prudent way
Prudent Legal is the bold new face of the long established and wellknown law firm Jimmy Lardner and Associates. Lardner opened his first practice in Mt.Eliza over 28 years ago.
mould its services through better utilisation of technology, it’s focus will never waver from deeply understanding each of its client’s needs foremost and advising them through good old fashioned friendly chats. This approach lies at the very core of how the solicitors in the firm advice and support each client.
This has now evolved into Prudent Legal which reaches into a vast and broader segment of the Mornington Peninsula community with services that are built on a solid foundation of applying prudence and pragmatism in every area of legal advice and support.
“Education, guidance, encouragement and support is what we singularly focus on when we work with our clients,” says Lardner. “Clients need to be fully informed and comfortable when making significant decisions for themselves or their families. Some legal matters are simple whilst others can become protracted and complex. Clients can experience a range of emotions, changing needs and stresses during their legal journeys. Our service is defined by assessing and recognising the needs of each client in advance. Fundamentally, this helps them become pragmatic decision makers and navigators as they journey through their issues and
legal destination. We are prudent in our approach to meeting client’s needs and we help them navigate a prudent pathway towards a prudent destination. We live by our name,” says Lardner. Together with a new legal partner on board and another office at Rosebud, Lardner says the firm’s services are tailored to meet the varying needs and demands of the growing broader Mornington Peninsula community. Where clients are unable to visit its offices for consultations due
to distance or various work commitments, the firm freely offers after hours appointments and video conferencing facilities. “The impact and dominance of advancing technology on our current day society is phenomenal at several levels and this behoves us to consistently gauge and meet expectations and demands from the community,” says Lardner. Lardner says he cannot emphasise enough that whilst Prudent Legal is excited about continuing to innovate and
The other very fundamental aspect of the firm’s approach in resolving legal issues is to resolve disputes through negotiations and mediation as much as possible. “We encourage clients to stay out of court but we will litigate strongly if this becomes absolutely necessary and it is the only way forward to protect a client’s interests. Litigation is hugely expensive and the emotional stress accompanying litigation may result in a higher unquantifiable cost”. The “grey haired” team at the firm is wonderfully complimented by the young, vibrant and charming Andrea Griffiths. Whilst she advises and assists clients across a range of needs and services, Griffiths is especially focused on working with clients in family law, VCAT and Magistrates’ court matters. Born, bred and educated in the Mornington Peninsula, Griffiths is a mother of two young children. She says she finds it
very satisfying and rewarding working with parents who place the interests of their children above everything else. Whilst this is what all parents would want and do for their children in a normal family environment, she finds herself having to frequently advise and guide some parents where emotions have interfered with their ability to prioritise their children’s interests above their own.
“I understand current day social pressures on young families and the struggles some of them have in trying to balance work life demands,” says Griffiths. “With clients experiencing separation, domestic violence, parenting or property issues, I take a holistic approach to factor in all of the peripheral factors that may have an impact not just on the immediate but for a long foreseeable future. If the principles of prudence have not been allowed to shape a legal result or guide the parties to a dispute, there are no real winners in the long term. This is especially so when children are involved,” says Griffiths.

Concept Kitchen Makeovers
The philosophy of Concept Kitchen Makeovers has not changed since they first started doing kitchen makeovers in 1999.
They always have and will be true to their mission – to work together with their clients to create the right solution for their kitchen transformation project.

established as an alternative to conventional kitchen renovation companies, with the focus of providing simple stressfree installations, strong customer service, cost-effective solutions and high quality for all their projects – rather than a complete remove and replace kitchen supply company.

He used these skills to start a kitchen transformation business with his wife, Barb, 20 years ago – initially known as Granite Transformations, Mornington.

Anyone who’s grown up in the area has had their school concert there including comedian Sammy J. All the big name artists as well as the little artists in making have shared the stage for close to 25 years now. It is also rumoured that Hugh Jackman also graced the Frankston Arts Centre stage
early in his career...but we share that with a grain of salt!

ALL THE BEST SHOWS
“When I commenced this business in 1987 I did not expect the level of changes that have affected the footwear industry over the past 30 years or that I would end up becoming a significant part of those changes,” said Lorraine.
“The business was called Bayside Discount Shoes and then Bayside Shoe Warehouse as we were initially similar to the low cost, high volume stores that became K-Mart, Target and Big W in the range and quality of shoes during that period.”
Lorraine made a conscious decision to focus on supplying high quality shoes, clothing and handbags in 2009 with an emphasis on quality and comfort suitable for work, special occasions or casual wear. “We saw regular problems of sore feet due to plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, bunions and foot injuries which made us focus on a ‘foot solution’ approach to supply shoes and inserts that would prevent or reduce foot pain from toddlers, first walkers to falling arches as we mature. We have established a close working relationship with podiatrists, physiotherapists and orthopaedic specialists to offer a ‘shoe solution’ for difficult foot problems whether you are a shoe size 5 to a size 17,” she said. “Bayside Shoes is still listed on the internet website under www.baysideshoewarehouse.com.au as we currently send shoes not only within
Australia but also to USA, Canada, France and exotic locations like Algeria & South Africa.”
Bayside Shoes has always offered a specialist shoe fitting service to ensure that you get the correct shoe size fit and level of foot support that you need as well as good advice that the shoe is suitable. This is a cornerstone of our business and reason we have such a high positive level of customer referral and repeat business. Bayside Shoes is at 103 Railway Parade, Seaford. Phone 9785 1887.
