Shearing time for seafarers ADAM Mill has a trademark beard. He’s known in the Rosebud area as a swimming instructor and, more recently, as a leader with Rosebud Sea Scouts. However, he’s now decided to sacrifice his distinctive facial hair to raise money for leukemia research. Mr Mill says the tragic consequences of the disease were brought home to him 18 months ago when a friend of his wife’s died “leaving a widow and five amazing children”. Sea scout Rachael Wood and cub Blake Kelso have also raised their hands to lose their hair to help the leukemia foundation. Rachael’s hair will be made into a wig for someone with leukemia. “I’d love to be donating my hair too, but I’ve been bald for 20 years,” Mr Mill said. “That’s about as long as I’ve been growing some sort of facial hair.” The trio will lose their respective locks as part of this year’s World’s Greatest Shave on Tuesday 12 March.

Labor enters campaign for Flinders Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE battle for the seat of Flinders in the May federal election became a three-cornered contest on Friday with Labor announcing Josh Sinclair as its candidate. Mr Sinclair was campaign manager for Chris Brayne, who won the seat of Nepean in last year’s (24 November) state election. He was later appointed as Mr Brayne’s office manager. Mr Sinclair’s official endorsement by Labor follows reports last month that Tracee Hutchison would be the party’s
candidate. However, Ms Hutchison, a broadcaster and journalist, later said she would not be a candidate despite giving it serious consideration and being “flooded” with support and encouragement (“All quiet on Labor front for Flinders” The News 13/2/19). Held for the Liberal Party by Greg Hunt since 2001, Flinders is also being contested by former Liberal and now independent, Julia Banks (“Hunt under pressure of coup fallout” The News 6/2/19). Ms Banks, elected as a Liberal to the seat of Chisholm in 2016, quit the party in the wake of the overthrow of Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister.

The party’s MPs elected Scott Morrison as prime minister after an unsuccessful leadership attempt by Peter Dutton and Mr Hunt to become prime minister and deputy party leader. The state seat of Nepean won by Mr Brayne with Mr Sinclair as his campaign manager, had been held by Martin Dixon for the Liberals by 16 years. The Liberal candidate, Russell Joseph, blamed the turmoil following the overthrow of Mr Turnbull for much of the party’s loss of support on the Mornington Peninsula (“Federal Liberals blamed for lost support” The News 4/12/19). Mr Joseph said the “Dutton-Hunt

ticket” was “particularly felt down here [on the peninsula]”. He said it was a problem that he felt would linger and affect the outcome of the coming federal election. Giving further impetus to the Flinders campaign will be next week’s a “federal election launch” in Mornington by the left wing lobby group, GetUp. The organisation’s pre-launch publicity urges voters to “learn more about that strategy and the role you can play in your community to help knock off the hard right MPs who are wrecking our politics”. GetUp’s launch starts 6.30pm

Wednesday 13 March at The Studio, Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Road, Mornington. Mr Sinclair said on Friday that he did not know about GetUp’s impending involvement in Flinders. “I’m just relieved that [Labor] can start campaigning as from today,” he said. “I wanted to make sure we chose a local candidate with a strong local connection. “Thankfully, the administrative committee and local branches agreed [to my candidature].” Mr Sinclair predicted the campaign would be “a very fast 90 days”.

Dob in a dealer to break drug cycle MORNINGTON Peninsula residents are being asked to help the police disrupt the manufacture and supply of drugs in the community by reporting anything they know about offenders. The nation-wide Dob in a Dealer campaign paid for by the federal government aims to stop the supply of drugs, such as methylamphetamine (ice), cocaine, MDMA, heroin and cannabis. It also gives residents an opportunity to support their friends, families and colleagues by voicing their suspicions about who is dealing in drugs in their area. Crime Stoppers Victoria’s Cassandra Joyce said public support played a crucial role in police intervention against criminals and organised crime gangs who make and supply drugs, often to vulnerable users. “Criminal drug related activity is not only costing millions of dollars in healthcare and law enforcement, but it is tragically and unnecessarily costing lives,” Ms Joyce said. “At Crime Stoppers we see community information play a pivotal role in solving crime every day, so please get behind this campaign and report what you know.” Inspector Janene Denton emphasised the importance of community involvement in addressing the import, manufacture and supply of illicit drugs. “Residents of the peninsula are proactive in addressing criminal activity and we are calling on the community to work together to stop the supply and distribution of drugs,” she said. Anyone with information about someone who is manufacturing or dealing drugs should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or report them online at crimestoppers.com.au. Reports can be anonymous.

Firefighter chooses Swiss option to leave Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au TROY Thornton, the former officerin-charge at Mornington Fire Station who chose to end his life in a Swiss euthanasia clinic last week, left behind a loving family, many friends and a message to legislators. Mr Thornton, 54, who suffered from multiple system atrophy, said in an interview with website Starts at 60: “The Victorian euthanasia legislation needs to be modified to enable people like me with a chronic degenerative disease to have access to the law, not only those defined as ‘terminal’. “As a first-responder I have seen too many traumatic suicides and suicide attempts. An assisted suicide in Australia would reduce the trauma not only for emergency services personnel but for the families and friends affected by such deaths. “Australian doctors can, and do, withhold the necessary medical reports and documentation needed by the Swiss authorities for an assisted suicide. This makes the process of gaining approval in Switzerland even more difficult.” Mr Thornton, who was diagnosed in mid-2014, was told there were no treatments for the progressive neurodegenerative disorder and no prospect of recovery. A miserable death can take years to come. He chose to end it on his terms accompanied by his wife Christine, Friday 22 February. His sad passing was made even worse by Victoria’s assisted-dying laws which prevented him dying at home with his friends and family, in-

CFA colleagues, family and friends attended a memorial service for Troy Thornton at the New Peninsula Baptist Church, Mt Martha, on Friday.
cluding children Laura, 14, and Jack, 17. They had to say goodbye to their father at the airport before he boarded a plane to Switzerland to end his life. A friend flew home with Christine afterwards. Victoria is set to become the first Australian state to legalise voluntary assisted dying, but Mr Thornton was unable to qualify because he could not find two doctors willing to say with absolute certainty that he would die within 12 months – a condition to access the legislation in his case.
Frustrated by the stalemate, he urges voters to tell politicians they want control of their end-of-life choices. Messages of condolence flooded onto social media from former colleagues at Mornington, Mt Martha and Langwarrin fire stations last week: “It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we inform the community that our friend Troy Thornton passed away in Switzerland after making the brave choice to end his suffering.” “Troy was a hard working active father at home and he was also a fire-
fighter with the CFA for 30 years.” “All the best, mate. It's been an honour.” Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke, a former firefighter, added: “Our friend Troy Thornton passed away in Switzerland after making the brave choice to end his suffering. “Troy was exceptionally intelligent, funny, a gifted sportsman, an exceptional firefighter and friend to us all. “After working with Troy for years, I am feeling devastated by his passing and I know so many of his colleagues
and friends will be feeling the same, but we are also happy that Troy was in control to the end.” Mr Thornton was assisted in his journey by pro-euthanasia campaigner Philip Nitschke of Exit International. He was put in touch with the Life Circle clinic which also helped Australia’s oldest scientist, Dr David Goodall, end his life last year. A Mornington Peninsula fire fighter’s post ended: “Your shift is over mate, your brothers and sisters will take it from here.”

Looking into climate change and the bay’s future THE CSIRO is leading studies into the likely effects of climate change along the Port Phillip coastline. “This project is an important piece of the puzzle in understanding what climate change means for Victoria’s natural and built environments,” Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) project manager, Dr Tamara van Polanen Petel said. The department is one. The project – which involves government departments and bayside municipalities - will assess the extent of three key coastal hazards: inundation, coastal erosion, and groundwater change – under several climate change scenarios. “We know that climate change is happening, and we know that it can create coastal hazards,” Ms van Polanen Petel said. “What we don’t currently understand is the extent of those hazards and the kind of impacts we will see along the coastline.” Ms van Polanen Petel said climate change could lead to flooded roads, eroded cliffs and “inland waters becoming saltier”. “It’s important that this modelling work happens so that land managers, including government departments and councils, can consider how best to plan for, build and manage coastal areas in the years to come.” The Port Phillip Bay Coastal Hazard Assessment is the fifth assessment of its kind in Victoria, with similar studies being completed for Western Port, Port Fairy, Bellarine/Corio Bay and Gippsland Lakes/90 Mile Beach The CSIRO will draw on data from across government, industry and research sectors with a view to completing the assessment early next year. Ms van Polanen Petel said DELWP is working closely with 10 bay-area councils – including Frankston and Mornington Peninsula - Parks Victoria, Melbourne Water, the bay’s two catchment management authorities, the Association of Bayside Municipalities and traditional owners.

Three holes have been drilled above Mt Martha Beach North to help monitor movement within the cliffs. A tube inserted into the borehole will allow the Department of Environment Lands Water and Planning to measure movement in the cliffs, which have crumbled in several places over the past few years. Rocks were placed at the bottom of the cliffs later last year in a bid to prevent further erosion by the sea. DELWP Port Phillip Program Manager Land and Built Environment John Downs said the cliff top bores were “part of the ongoing works at Mt Martha to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the recent emergency revetment”. Stress cracks are evident in the bitumen on the Esplanade just south of Alice Street, near the first borehole.
Labor candidate Joshua Sinclair
Labor’s Flinders bid Continued from Page 1 Mr Hunt, the Health Minister, holds Flinders with a 7.7 per cent margin after defeating Labor’s Carolyn Gleixner and four other candidates at the 2016 election. Mr Sinclair unsuccessfully stood against Mr Hunt at the 2013 election which saw 10 candidates for the “traditional” Liberal seat. The News last week received complaints about a phone call from Mr Hunt’s office. “The tele town hall was not a recording or robo call. Unlike the union led and GetUp’s robo calls, the tele town hall was a live, personal, interactive conversation with the community where they could ask the minister [Mr Hunt] and Treasurer [Josh Frydenberg] questions and discuss local issues,” Mr Hunt’s media contact, Matthew Langdon said. “In regards to robo calls, our office has received numerous reports of negative robo calls from within the electorate, with many shocked and offended by the vile nature of their messaging and lack of a plan to improve the Flinders electorate. “The town hall was paid for out of a communications budget which is the same for all Federal MPs and conducted using publicly available data.”

Into battle: The Elvis air crane empties its over the Shoreham blaze. Picture: Yanni
Air and land effort to fight blaze MORE than fire-fighting appliances, as well as three Elvis air cranes and two helicopters, tackled a fast-moving bushfire at Shoreham, Thursday 28 February. An emergency warning was issued for people living south-east of the blaze about 1.45pm, however this was downgraded to a watch-and-act about 4pm. A CFA spokesperson described the fire in a plantation off Punty Lane, between Shoreham and Mornington-
Flinders roads, as a “dynamic scene” confronting firefighters on the ground and the helicopters operating out of Tyabb Airport. She said the fire was threatening homes on Tucks Road and moving south fanned by fresh northerly winds towards Western Port and Flinders. No cause for the blaze had been established “at this early stage”. Ground crews stayed overnight to keep an eye on possible flare ups. Shoreham Road resident Richard
Whitehead said he had urged the CFA earlier in the week to declare Thursday a Day of Total Fire Ban. “The fire came close to us,” he said. “At 11am it was south of our property. We were worried about a wind change from the south.” Friday’s weather made the situation equally unnerving. “It’s getting hot, there’s a dry wind getting up and any spark could do it,” he said.

Cladding dangers THE Victorian Bulding Authority and Frankston Council are working together to investigate if any further buildings in Frankston contain dangerous cladding. Frankston mayor Michael O’Reilly told The Times that emergency orders were issued late last year to residents of a property in Culcairn Drive, which was found by a state government audit to have “combustible cladding.” Mornington Peninsula Shire’s chief operating officer Niall McDonagh told The News “the design and use of materials on all new buildings are in accordance with regulatory requirements”. “The shire is not aware of any buildings within the shire that are affected by this type of cladding.”

Shed door that leads way to history THE historic cargo shed at Flinders pier it packs a lot of history into a small space. The eight metres by five metres shed is the only building in Flinders on the Victoria Heritage Register. Built in the 1870s, the shed has been renovated and now home to an interpretive display tracing the history of the area back to the days before European settlement. The shed and interpretive display was officially opened to the public by Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr David Gill on Thursday 21 February. The ceremony was attended by members of the Flinders District Historical Society (FDHS), friends and the public. The centre had a “soft” opening in early January and since then 1500 visitors have passed through its doors despite it being only opened at weekends between 10am and 3pm. Cr Gill commended the historical society for restoring “this little shed with a big history” and its its dedication to telling the stories of the district’s past and giving voice to “all who have called this special place home”. “It’s so important that we preserve our historic buildings in a way that acknowledges and celebrates our place and our history, to ensure our stories are

told for generations to come,” he said. He said the shed was a strong reminder of the importance of sea transport for moving heavy cargoes to isolated coastal settlements in earlier times. Historical society vice president Jo Monie said volunteers would keep the shed open at weekends until the Labor Day weekend and it would also open over Easter. The cargo shed’s significance is that it is one of very few such port structures, which used to be common in the state, that remains intact. The shed only just survived as it had become derelict by the early 2000s and was restored by the shire with the aid of a grant from Heritage Council Victoria in 2011. Flinders port precinct on Kennon Cove at the entry to Western Port, is recognised because of its historical significance as a port and its role in early coastal trade, as the site of the first successful telegraph cable connection to Tasmania in 1869, its former fishing fleet, and role in coastal defence during World War I and World War II. The natural history of Kennon Cove and Aboriginal occupation are presented in a series of 14 panels. A number of artefacts found on site including sections of the telegraph cable are also on display.

NEWS DESK Police patrol
With Stephen Taylor
Appeal for witnesses SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol officers are appealing for witnesses after two incidents – one fatal – in Somerville and surrounding suburbs last week. In the first incident a motorcyclist in his 50s died when he collided with a utility in Somerville, 4.30pm, Monday 25 February. Police said the white Holden ute was being driven erratically, first in Bungower Road about 4pm, and then travelling north on Tyabb-Tooradin Road, when it collided with the southbound motorbike at 4.25pm. A black Holden Commodore then crashed into the utility. The driver of the utility and the female passenger in the Commodore were taken to hospital with minor injuries. Police are also seeking witnesses to another incident in which a motorbike was seen being driven erratically in Frankston North overnight, Thursday 28 February. Police said they saw it speeding along Frankston-Dandenong Road with a pillion passenger aboard at 3.30am and attempted to intercept it on Cranbourne Road. The bike kept going through Moorooduc, Hastings and Mt Martha on Peninsula Link, Moorooduc Highway and the Nepean Highway, where it was seen crossing onto the wrong side of the road. The pillion passenger may have been dropped off near South Beach Road. The rider later abandoned the bike on Crib Point Road before fleeing on foot. Police and the dog squad arrested a 33-year-old Crib Point man soon after in Creswell Street. He was taken to hospital for observation and was under police guard, Friday. The passenger is yet to be found. Anyone who saw either incident or who has dash-cam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000
ing hit from behind, 12.20pm, Wednesday 27 February. Leading Senior Constable Greg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said the 34-year-old Mornington man in a Mazda BT50 was turning right into George Street when hit by a Toyota Hi Ace van. He was taken to Frankston Hospital for treatment. Investigations are continuing.
Train incident TRANSIT detectives are investigating the attempted robbery of items belonging to a 55-year-old man who boarded a Frankstonbound train at Richmond station, 1.18am, 4 August last year. They have released this image of a man, right, seen getting off the train at Kananook station who may be able to assist with their inquiries. He was last seen walking towards the Frankston CBD.
Multiple pile up
Speedsters nabbed SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol nabbed 239 motorists speeding during Operation Hisser, which ran from December to mid-February. It targeted speeding on high risk or high speed rural roads on the Mornington Peninsula. Of those pulled over 41 were prosecuted for low level speeding (less than 10kph over the limit) and 11 were detected at loss-of-licence speeds. Acting Senior Sergeant Dave Collins said that while the number of detections was high, the “majority of motorists were travelling within the speed limit, which contributed to lower trauma on our roads, with only one serious-injury collision on the targeted roads in the operation”. He said road policing efforts would continue day and night on Frankston and Mornington Peninsula roads. Speed measuring devices include Moving Mode Radar (checking both approaching/receding vehicles when the police car is on the move) and Laser devices. “Don’t exceed the speed limit and none of this will be your concern,” Senior Sergeant Collins said. “You will also be making our roads a safer place.”
Welcome home.
Horse struck A HORSE was hit by a car after it ran onto Mornington-Tyabb Road, near Derril Road, 6am, Thursday 28 February. Leading Senior Constable Greg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said it was not clear how the horse broke free from a nearby property and ran in front of the Toyota HiAce utility. The horse died at the scene.
Highway crash A MAN was taken to Frankston Hospital with a fractured wrist after a crash on Moorooduc Highway, early Thursday 28 February. The 38-year-old Abbotsford man driving a Holden Caprice ploughed through a fence near Santa’s Place, opposite the Bentons Road roundabout, 5.25am.

A FOUR-car pile-up in Moorooduc, 4.50pm, Wednesday 27 February, has police blaming a “lack of concentration”. A Holden Astra in Eramosa Road West waiting to turn into Derril Road was run into from behind by a Holden Cruz which, a few minutes later, was run into by a second Holden Cruz. Seconds later a Mitsubishi Pajero being driven in the opposite direction collided with the three Holden cars before veering across the road and up an embankment. Taken to Frankston Hospital were a 52-year-old Mt Martha man; 40-year-old Hastings woman and a 22-year-old Somerville woman. A 33-yearold Tyabb woman was unhurt.
House break-in ITEMS valued at $1500 were stolen from a house in Nepean Highway, Mornington, overnight, Thursday 21 February. Detectives said the owner returned home to find the back door forced and clothing, DVD player, two Samsung mobiles, swag, Bolle sunglasses, Sony camera and tomahawk missing.
Items taken TWO Rinnai hot water services still in their boxes and tiling tools all valued at $2000 were stolen from townhouses being built in Mornington, overnight, Tuesday 26 February. Detectives said the offenders gained access to the Portrush Grove properties through a garage.

First the gas, then into bag
COMMITTEE FOR
MORNINGTON PENINSULA
THE discovery of a metre-long tiger snake behind a Dromana fish-and-chip shop was an unwelcome surprise for proprietor June Wu, Wednesday 27 February. “A delivery guy came in and said: ‘Do you realise you have a snake out the back,’” she said. “It was in the gas meter. I went out and it was the first time I’ve ever seen a snake outside of the zoo.” Ms Wu, the proprietor for 10 years, said she called snake catcher Barry Goldsmith who was able to quickly bag the reptile for release “within five kilometres”. Mr Goldsmith said the snake was the “first tiger I’ve caught in Dromana in 40 years”. He said he had seen fewer snakes on the peninsula so far this year because long grass had not yet browned off and rats and mice were still able to hide outdoors. “When the grass dries the rodents will look for chook sheds or houses to hide in and the snakes will go looking for them,” he said. The Mornington resident urges residents to “respect the natural world”. “People might think there are more snakes because they hear about them on social media all the time but actually there a fewer,” Mr Goldsmith said. “The effect of land clearing and an increasing population means snake populations are in decline.” Snakes are protected in Victoria.

Twilight cruise toast to World Wetlands Day CRUISING while eating canapes and drinking holding while spotting waders was all part of a twilight cruise on Western Port last Friday to “celebrate” the following day’s World Wetlands Day (Saturday 2 February). The 90 or so paying passengers aboard the Kasey Lee were also kept mindful of the efforts by the Save Westernport group to stop power company AGL processing imported natural gas at Crib Point and plans by successive state governments for a container port at Hastings. World Wetlands Day marks the
signing of the International Wetlands Treaty in Ramsar, Iran, on 2 February 1971. Western Port was listed under the treaty in 1981. The treaty recognises wetlands as being of international importance if they hold up to 20,000 waterbirds (such as ducks, swans and herons) and up to 10,000 migratory waterbirds (including curlews and sandpipers). “Western Port easily meets these criteria and also hosts more than one per cent of the migratory population of six wader species, including eastern curlews, common greenshanks and
red-necked stint, which is another criterion for being added to the list of Ramsar wetlands,” Save Westernport organiser Chris Chandler said. “The mudflats of Western Port are a summer home to thousands of black swans, ducks, herons and ibis, as well as 30 species of migratory waders which breed in Siberia.” As passengers filled their wine glasses, the cruise sailed from Stony Point north past the Crib Point jetty, where AGL plans to berth a more than 300-metre-long floating gas processing vessel.
“The twilight tour then past the Esso and BlueScope jetties, along the coastline that some politicians hope will one day be lined with the huge cranes of Australia’s biggest container port,” Mr Chandler said. “Canapes were served as we headed east to Barrallier Island, off the northwest corner of French Island. Barrallier is an important high tide roost for up to 3000 migratory waders.” The Kasey Lee headed south along the west coast of French Island, to Tortoise Head. “Those on board remarked at the
remoteness of the mangrove-lined French Island coast, with no buildings in sight for most of the coast, and a real wilderness feel about it,” Mr Chandler said. “From Tortoise Head, we headed west again into the setting sun, towards HMAS Cerberus, admiring the sunset and the first flights of short-tailed shearwaters, or mutton birds, returning to their nesting burrows on French Island from their feeding grounds in Bass Strait.” Save Westernport is planning another cruise in March.

‘IN the valley’ is an exhibition that highlights the beauty and fragility of our natural environment. Observing and documenting the changing landscape of significant areas of the Mornington Peninsula, artists Rosie Weiss, Jean Langley, Merryn Lloyd, Christine Lloyd, Michael Favaloro and Siri Hayes reveal their personal connections to the landscape and the strong links to place that exists across generations. The ‘In the valley’ exhibition coincides with the Mornington Peninsula Shire moving towards zero net carbon emissions across all its operations by 2021 and supporting long-term climate change resilience across the community. The exhibition is presented as part of ART+CLIMATE=CHANGE 2019, a socially-engaged festival of climate changerelated arts and ideas featuring curated exhibitions and theatre works alongside a series of keynote lectures, events and public forums featuring local and international guests. For more information: www. artclimatechange.org Artist Cameron Robbins’ work ‘Solar
Loggerheads’ is a large-scale drawing instrument that brings together conflicting forces of creation and destruction. Locked in a continuous spin cycle, two opposing kinetic armatures draw and erase across the same flat surface. Powered by solar energy, the drawing mechanism creates animated marks in a circular motion while the rotation of the eraser is activated by mains electricity. On Thursday 21 March MPRG is hosting a panel conversation with artist Siri Hayes and environmental advocates Rob Hayes and Rohan Cuming about the convservation issues surrounding Western Port. An open studio day is being held at the Police Point artist in residence cottage on Saturday 4 May. See Cameron Robbins’ iconic wind drawing machines, attend a sea sculpture workshop with Amy Yang, the Shire’s Waste & Litter Education Officer, and find out more about edible weeds and plants native to the Mornington Peninsula from a local expert.

Shire about to ‘recognise’ Ritchies MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is lining up to congratulate a Dromana supermarket for winning several in-house industry awards. Ritchies Supa IGA Dromana was last month named IGA International Retailer of the Year. The award was presented to CEO Fred Harrison and Jarrod Swaine at the international IGA conference in San Diego, US. Not to be outdone by the hype, shire councillors are arranging some publicity around the store’s awards. In a flurry of emails between councillors, the mayor Cr David Gill said he supported “the idea of official shire recognition for IGA”. “Great news indeed for Ritchies Supa IGA Dromana to be showcased on the international stage,” he told other councillors. Cr Antonella Celi suggested a media release from the shire “can include a picture of the mayor and Seawinds councillors presenting a mayoral commendation certification to the owners of Ritchies IGA in Dromana”. Crs Celi, Brooks and Frank Martin represent
the Seawinds Ward. Cr Simon Brooks said the store “exhibit a sense of pride in this facility and have provided the township with a place of employment for many young people including students”. The international award follows the store being named 2018 National Retailer of The Year, Supa IGA Store of the Year, Supa IGA Bakery Department of the Year and winning the Retail Transformation and Innovation Award at last year’s IGA Australia Awards. The Dromana store is owned and operated by the Ritchies group, seen as Australia’s largest independent supermarket and liquor retailer. The public relations company handling the latest publicity, describes Ritchies Dromana as being “the complete package for modern day grocery retailing … famous for being a foodie’s paradise”. It says the store has “energy-efficient refrigeration, low-line bakery display units, wine barrel display tables in produce and the Himalayan salt wall in the meat dry aging room”. Keith Platt

Police and other community groups have been invited to compete. “We can sell the carts as a kit or we are happy to make them up and paint them,” Mr Phippen said. “The feature races will be for the school kids using very simple carts. Who knows what other carts will appear on the day through a challenge to the community groups and services? Let’s see what they build and show.” A sausage sizzle, ice cream and homemade lemonade will be for sale on the day. Details: Terry Phippen on 0488 115 433.

Busy week for cheaper cat desex service Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au AN animal welfare body offering subsidised cat desexing on the Mornington Peninsula has been kept busy. The Humane Society for Animal Welfare launched the pilot project Thursday 20 February as a “trial to be evaluated past the initial response”. Save Mornington Pound Animals organiser Rosy Fischer, who is assisting the group, said 70 vouchers were requested by residents in the first week. The service will target cats in the Rosebud and Hastings areas, which Ms Fischer says are “the worst areas for all pets with most of the impounded pets coming from these areas”. Ms Fischer said Frankston and Dandenong councils offered pensioners’ cat desexing at reduced rates and “can't understand why Mornington Peninsula Shire doesn’t offer the same”. Veterinarian Victoria Stefani confirmed the clinic’s participation in the program. “Yes there is a problem with cats on the Mornington Peninsula,” she said. “We see many feral and other cats that are pregnant and without owners. “Many are out at night despite the shire having a 24-hour curfew on cats roaming outside their own properties.” The Australian Veterinary Association is “trying to get shire councils on board” offering subsidised rates for cat desexing”, Ms Stefani said. The shire offers no discounts to

financially disadvantaged residents to have their pets desexed, despite initial plans to reallocate the $80,000 saved from the former Pet Expo axed in mid-2017 to “to stop uncontrolled breeding and reunite lost pets with their owners”. Last week, environment protection
manager John Rankine said “desexing services for cats and dogs are provided through veterinary clinics”. “We encourage the desexing of animals and also encourage owners to attend their community vet for promoting health and wellbeing,” he said. “There are cheaper options and
desexing schemes for low-income earners available through Lost Dogs Home and RSPCA.” Reclaimed cats cannot leave the animal shelter until they are desexed and microchipped. Ms Fischer said people in disadvantaged areas of the peninsula “under-
stand the importance of desexing their cats but find the costs prohibitive”. “Desexing leads to fewer unwanted animals being born, but also offers other advantages for cats, such as less wandering and spraying by tomcats, and less fighting leading to fewer injuries,” she said. “Fewer unwanted animals means fewer at the pound and fewer being killed.” The Lost Dogs Home sponsors a vets’ van which visits various councils and shires charging about $54 for cat desexing and microchipping. Frankston and Dandenong councils provide pet desexing vouchers to pensioners. The cost of Humane Society for Animal Welfare subsidised desexing is $20 for male cats and $50 for females. Eligible participants must hold a health care or pension card. To take advantage of the offer call Julie 10am-12 midday and 4-6pm, Monday to Friday and 10am-1pm Sunday on 5156 1296 or 0423 682 158. Vouchers can be redeemed at Mornington Veterinary Clinic, 4/1140 Nepean Highway, Mornington, call on 5975 3811. Take the cat to the clinic, show the voucher as well as a health care/pension card, photo identification and pay either $20 or $50 up front. Kittens must weigh at least a kilogram. Mornington Veterinary Clinic is accessible by bus services 781, 784, 785 and 788. Cats can be taken on the bus in a cat cage.

involved in BMW car dealerships for many years, so it seemed destined that Ian would find his niche selling motor vehicles. Ian has worked for most major car companies; Lexus, Volkswagen, Peugeot, BMW and Audi Mornington where he was manager for five years. “Prestige products sell themselves really, so it’s all about customer service. People tend to buy from someone they like or get along with, so relationships are very important. I believe that good customer service is all about honesty, an open approach and avoiding a sales pitch. It’s about helping your customer achieve their goals. It’s not about selling and forgetting.” Ian is now a real estate sales consultant with Sam Danckert Real Estate in Mount Martha and his relationship with Sam is testament to his core belief about customer service and buying from someone they tend to get along with. “I have bought two houses from Sam and he has bought three cars from me, so that’s a perfect example of mutual trust and respect. When Sam first discussed the idea of joining Danckert Real Estate it seemed logical. It meant stepping out of my comfort zone, but once I took my blinkers off I knew it was the right step forward. I’m really looking forward to experiencing a new industry with clarity and confidence and to work closely with new and existing clients.” Ian Ross can be contacted on 0404 868 470.n

Emissions plan is a proven failed policy It was a bit frightening to read the article “Expert warns on climate change” about the need for municipalities to take action to mitigate the financial impacts of climate change (The News 18/2/19). It is a pity that we have a local member, [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt who is part of a federal government not willing to take serious action on climate change. Australia’s emissions now are higher than at any other time and will fall far short of meeting the Paris target. According to the government’s own data, Australia increased its total emissions output by 6.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2-e) from March 2017 to 2018, a trend of increasing emissions since the Abbott government, with Greg Hunt as Environment Minister, abolished the price on carbon. The impact of climate change will be felt by small and large businesses throughout the Mornington Peninsula as well as causing significant damage to our environment. The only answer of this government is to recycle the tired and failed emissions reduction fund and spend a measly $20 million a year over the next 10 years. Compare that to the $4 billion dollars spent on offshore detention. The return to the ERF continues a failed process of paying emitters to lower their emissions, often using taxpayer money to pay for making changes that they were planning to make anyway. A significant proportion of that money was spent on projects that can easily be undone by floods, drought and fire. The reality is that Greg Hunt and his government have failed the Australian people by being unable to develop an effective policy to address climate change.
It is the Australian people who will pay the price over the coming years. Marg D’Arcy, Rye
Support Hunt I note that the usual [Greg] Hunt/Liberal haters are already spreading their propaganda before the date of the [federal] election is announced. Here is the other side: The Flinders electorate is heavily composed of elderly retirees, many of who will suffer if Labor gains government. Labor has already announced that it will take a large part of retirees’ savings, and those at the lower end of the scale will suffer the most, paying 30 per cent tax on their retirement savings. On the fairness issue alone this is disgraceful. There are many holiday homes on the Mornington Peninsula which will be negatively affected by Labor’s halving of capital gains tax exemption when their owners sell their property. Labor says they will be “grandfathered”. Yes they will, but the purchasers of these properties will not and so the price they are prepared to pay will be affected. Labor wants a much higher reduction on emissions and power will be unaffordable to lower income earners. Greg Hunt has represented the Flinders electorate successfully for many years and doesn’t deserve the opprobrium he has been subjected to for standing up against [former prime minister Malcolm] Turnbull. Turnbull was a very poor prime minister and it was Turnbull who led the campaign which ousted Tony Abbott. The election campaign led by Turnbull was a disaster in 2016, and the polls never recovered for the Liberals. They could not win under him. I hope that voters in this electorate will not
be led astray by the likes of [former Liberal and now independent] Julia Banks, who is looking for a safer seat, having happily abandoned the voters in Chisholm. Ms Banks was supported by Greg Hunt when she campaigned for Chisholm and when she entered parliament, so much for gratitude. Jackie Hammill, Mornington
Show me the money I have been watching with interest as Opposition leader Bill Shorten travels the country promising more spending at every stop. Where is the money coming from? We all know that Labor has been unable to deliver a surplus since the Keating years of the 1980s, so we can assume it will be more taxes for you and I. Just think what a mess our own finances would be in if we had spent more than we earn for the last 30 years. Perhaps a hint to our future came at the National Press Club in an address by [Australian Greens leader] Dr Richard Di Natale where he strongly advocated a return of death duties or as he called it, an inheritance tax. Michael Free, Mt Martha
Lucky to have Greg Is it not incredible that the memory of people is very short? It is important that people do not forget the past. The female element in the Liberal and National parties cry poor Malcolm [Turnbull]. As I see it, this man had three goes at destroying the party. He tried the ALP first up and they did not want him. He almost succeeded [in destroying the party]. People forget the name Tony Abbott, live by the sword die by the sword. People who are elected to parliament on a party vote have no moral right to move to being an independent unless they receive votes from the people who elected them. Our electorate [Flinders] is lucky to have Greg Hunt as our representative; he is a hard worker with few problems [and a] true picture of politi-
cal endeavour totally opposite to the pathetic effort of the Liberals in [the November] state election. Also, the challenger to Mr Hunt is a female, has a pathetic record in parliament, no aims and no achievement, apart from the Turnbullinspired attempt to challenge a sitting MP who just happens to hold a cabinet seat. Voters need to remember the past endorsed Scott Morrison. Spot problems. Children of Manus Island (all gone); the Australian soccer player held in Thailand (now home in Australia). Ray McGuire, Rye
More of the same Peter Rogan’s letter about John Cain is a near perfect example of a glass half full (“’Active’ Hunt” Letters 27/2/19). Strong on Bill Shorten’s involvement in knifing Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard before waxing lyrical on his man, Flinders MP Greg Hunt. Fair enough, he’s entitled. But hang fire, no mention of Greg Hunt’s involvement in showing the exit door (knifing?) former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull? Cliff Ellen, Rye
Path falls short Both Erica Bryan and Hugh Fraser continue to peddle the misinformation Coppin Road, Sorrento ratepayers have been subjected to for the past four years (“Ridiculous claim” Letters 27/2/19). The original Mornington Peninsula Shire Council footpath plan did not widen Coppin Road to accommodate the buses and would have necessitated Ms Bryan and her dog to cross Coppin Road three times. As for [Cr] Hugh Fraser’s comments, the footpath will not connect Coppin Road with Point Nepean Road. Council in its wisdom has designed the footpath to stop 20 metres before Point Nepean Road. Furthermore, Hugh Fraser over the past four years has referred to our much loved road as Coppin Street, obviously Hugh Fraser is not a Sorrento resident. Bill Holmes, Sorrento

Rosebud resident regains freedom ROS Morton was in tears six months after she and her husband Stuart moved into their new two storey home in Rosebud. Yes, there were the amazing views of Port Phillip Bay and the sun setting slowly on the horizon. And yes, they were excited to be close to their son and his family in Mount Eliza and all the Peninsula had to offer after relocating from Mooroolbark (Edna Walling territory). But there was one major problem preventing Ros from enjoying any of it. “I’d had a full hip replacement and was having problems rehabilitating. I was in this fabulous house and thinking what have we done? How am I ever going to navigate the stairs? I could barely drag myself up from ground level let alone carry shopping or washing from one floor to the other. We were seriously considering another move.” The Morton’s main living area is on the top floor of their Rosebud home - ideal for drinks on the deck and sighting ships in the distance, but not so great if you are physically challenged. “I had to rely on Stuart to do all the lifting which was difficult because he was going through his own medical treatment at the time. We were in trouble. I felt trapped. I’ve always been active and involved in community life, but had no chance of connecting with anyone because I couldn’t get in and out of the house easily and the thought of moving again was more than either of us could bare.” The solution? “ResiLift”, answers Ros. “A friend found a Residential
Lift Company brochure at The Home Show. I was considering installing a stair lift, but it made me feel uncertain and too big for our stairwell. We viewed an in-house ResiLift residential lift in Ringwood and as soon as I saw it I realised my life was about to change. Another expensive re-location was off the agenda. It was installed extremely quickly.” “The ResiLift is an Australian designed and manufactured innovation. Patented by the Residential Lift Company, it is specifically designed for ease of use and accessibility in residential settings. It is free-standing, has no shaft and requires only minor building alterations - plus it plugs into a standard domestic outlet. Available in a range of colours (and with optional add-ons), the ResiLift makes real financial sense. The Morton’s ‘Mirage’ two-person lift is compact and fits neatly into the side of their living room while blending seamlessly with their modern décor. “Visitors can’t find it on first glance”, laughs Ros. “It looks as if it was built with the house. It has also enabled our friends with physical limitations to visit us easily.” “The ResiLift has given me the freedom to come and go as I please”, she continues. Ros keeps active with babysitting, book club and is secretary of the VIEW Club. “I feel useful again and can do all the domestic duties I used to.” “My independence and confidence has been completely restored. Thanks to ResiLift.

Old boys, new tricks: Peninsula Old Boys got the better of Mornington in a high scoring affair. Picture: Andrew Hurst
Crib Point fall short in Moorooduc chase By Brodie Cowburn
PENINSULA
CRIB Point have fallen just short of Moorooduc in day two of a hotly contested clash at Crib Point Rec Reserve on Saturday. Chasing 185 for the win, Moorooduc got off on the wrong foot and lost a series of early wickets. The bowling efforts of Moorooduc’s Reece Cordeux helped his side greatly, as posted figures of 4/39. Crib Point ended up all out for 168, just 18 runs short of a win. At Ditterich Reserve, Main Ridge got the better of Pines in another tight affair. Batting first Pines scored quickly but lost wickets quickly as well. They set a target of 178 off 60 overs. In reply Main Ridge were at times shaky and looked in trouble at 7/123. A good eight wicket stand from Jason Albress and Oliver McEncroe saved the game, with both putting together brilliant innings late on to guide their side to a win. Red Hill enjoyed a good day at home, as they comfortably defended their day one total of 185. Baden Powell had one good performer on Coen Chernishoff who scored 41, but were incredibly disappointing otherwise. They were

bowled out for 128, well short of where they needed to be. Somerville also did well to defend their total of 181, bowling well as a team to dismiss Long Island for just 125.
DISTRICT
HEATHERHILL gave Rosebud a run for their money but ultimately lost a nail biter on day two at Olympic Park. With Rosebud having set 195 to win for Heatherhill going into the second day, things got off to a shaky start for the team with bat in hand. Heatherhill had to bounce back from a 2/4 start, but looked in a better position at 4/112. The tail was not able to contribute much to the score, and once their highest scoring player fell for 67 things fell apart. Heatherhill were bowled out for 183, just a handful of runs short. Mt Martha enjoyed a fruitful afternoon away from home to the Seaford Tigers, as they comfortably chased down 123 runs to claim the first innings. Opener Simon Street top scored with 47 runs to set up his side nicely from the get go. Seaford were also defeated comfortably, as they were smashed by Delacombe Park. 6 March 2019
Seaford only put 107 runs on the board in their first innings, which was easily knocked off. Nick Christides nearly defeated them off his own bat, hitting 104 runs before being caught and bowled. They ended up bowled out for a mammoth 291 off 64 overs. At Roy Dore Reserve an innings of 49 from Luke Hewitt was the highlight for Hastings, as they feel short against Carrum. They were bowled out for 172 chasing 204 to win.
SUB DISTRICTS
FRANKSTON YCW have been thoroughly dominated by Dromana in a one sided affair at Dromana Reserve. Batting first on day one the Stonecats put just 32 runs on the board before being dismissed, with their top scorer scoring just 12 runs. Six players were dismissed for ducks. In response Dromana scored 189, and the Stonecats came in to bat once more with Dromana chasing an outright win. The Stonecats were a little better in the second innings, scoring 5/77 before close of play for the day. Balnarring and Carrum Downs had a much more competitive clash, with Carrum Downs coming within a whisker of chasing down their target.
Balnarring set a total of 242 runs to chase on day one, and Carrum Downs looked in a good position at 2/94. Ryan Lynch top scored with 65, but it was not quite enough to get his side over the line. Carrum Downs were bowled out for 232, 10 runs short of a result. Boneo and Tyabb also played out a thrilling match at Bunguyan Reserve. Boneo batted out the first day and put together an impressive innings of 8/243. Tyabb’s day started will with a stunning innings of 108 from opener Nick Taranto, but unfortunately for Tyabb his teammates did not match his efforts. Four specialist batsmen were dismissed for single digit scores, as Tyabb were left all out for 235. Rye got the best of Skye at Skye Rec Reserve, as the home said failed in defending a poor first innings total of 105. Rye put together a 86 runs opening stand and scored 6/164. Skye came back in for a second innings and ended the day at 2/59. Tootgarook had a bye.
PROVINCIAL
PENINSULA OB have got the last laugh over Mornington in a high
scoring encounter on Saturday. With Mornington having put on an opening run stand of 89 and set 232 runs on day one, the Old Boys had a bit of work ahead of them. They responded with an impressive 103 run opening stand at the start of day two, with Dylan O’Malley top scoring with 74 runs. Around the grounds, Baxter grinded out a nail biting win over Langwarrin at Baxter Park. After setting Baxter a total of 156 to chase down, Langwarrin needed to work hard to keep their sights on a win. With just one over left to play, Baxter hit the winning runs with just one wicket in hand. Mt Eliza made quick work of Pearcedale away from home, defending their day one total of 210 with ease. Pearcedale struggled with bat in hand, ending up all out for a miserable 105 in tough conditions. Flinders also had a tough day, as they were easily bested by Sorrento at David Macfarlane Reserve. Chasing 112 to win, Sorrento made short work of it and claimed the first innings with seven wickets to spare. They finished at 6/195.

By Craig MacKenzie SKYE United’s FFA Cup journey took a dramatic twist on Saturday when it came from two goals down to beat Monbulk Rangers 4-3 at Centenary Park. Monbulk had beaten Skye in the promotion race from State 3 last season and came into the clash as a firm favourite. But things didn’t go Monbulk’s way when injury forced Declan McAleese to be replaced by Cameron Poynter after just 14 minutes. Four minutes later Daniel Walsh’s lethargy in pushing up from defence allowed Poynter to beat the offside trap and hammer the ball past Skye keeper Jonathan Crook for the opener. In the 34th minute Johnny Andrinopoulos lost possession on the right of his penalty area and with Crook stranded the ball was squared to Arash Sadeghi who struck it past Sajnesh Sugrim on the goalline to make it 2-0. But a goal of stunning simplicity in the 40th minute gave Skye a lifeline. Jason Nowakowksi had blown Skye’s best early chance when he ballooned his shot from the left of the area in the 22nd minute but now he played a one-two with Daniel Attard that split the Monbulk defence and he calmly lobbed the bouncing ball over advancing Monbulk keeper Jayden Allan to make it 2-1. Right on half-time Skye’s Marcus Anastasiou was felled inside the area and Walsh easily converted from the spot for the leveller. Two minutes into the second half Crook was beaten by Sadeghi at the near post with a low shot that squirmed through his legs to restore Monbulk’s lead but loud appeals for a penalty to Skye’s Mitch Blake in the 51st minute went unheeded. Three minutes later Skye’s Sean Karipis unleashed a dipping long-range drive that slammed against the bar and was scrambled clear but Skye wouldn’t be denied and a low shot from outside the area by Harrison Michaelis in the 55th minute made it 3-3. Nowakowski should have put Skye ahead in the 60th minute after Michaelis sent him clear on the left of the area only to send his shot over the bar and two minutes later Attard got free on the left but Allan parried well. In the 68th minute Andrinopoulos couldn’t control the ball properly and Steve McRae took advantage breaking into a one-on-one against Crook only to strike the ball wide of the far post and blowing one of the best chances of the

contest. Extra time looked certain until Monbulk failed to clear as the ball pinballed about inside its area before Skye substitute Mikey Turner was brought down. Referee Patrick Chaplin pointed to the spot for the second time in the match and again up stepped Walsh and again he made no mistake to put Skye through to the next round of the cup with a possible match-up against a State 1 opponent, a clash that holds no fears for senior coach Phil McGuinness. “We’d be delighted to draw a Division One club,” McGuinness said. “I think we play better when we play a side from a higher league. “Yes we did well to come from behind today but the thing that impressed me most was our level of fitness. “I’ve used the last couple of months to really push the boys and you could see that out there. “No disrespect to the opposition but I think you could tell in the last 20 minutes that they were out on their feet and I think the heat really got to them.” Skye remains keen to bring in an extra striker and has spoken to some local players as well as contacting online player agency Soccer Smart. McGuinness seems content with his stocks in defence and in midfield knowing that Billy Painting, Gerard Lawler, Mo Elhassan, Mark O’Connor and Marcus Collier still have to come back into the side. In the second cup match at Centenary Park on Saturday State 2 side Peninsula Strikers beat State 4 opponent Baxter 4-1. The cup heroics of the previous week

were quickly forgotten when a severely depleted Baxter arrived at the venue. Nathan Yule (suspended), Mitchell Cohen (leg injury), Charlie Jones (hamstring injury), Alan Lipsett (groin injury) and Brendan Norris (working overseas) were all missing from the 3-2 extra-time win over Altona North along with Chris Bowen and Paul Swan who were at private functions. Baxter had hoped to have some new signings on show but Phil Greig (exMornington and Langwarrin) and Sam Brown (ex-Langwarrin) were unavailable, Dau Ajak (ex-Morwell Pegasus) is still not ready to play and Jack Wyer (Mornington) only started light training last week. Strikers were without Michael Hoogendyk (suspended) and injured Julian Malander. In the 12th minute Strikers midfielder Jordan Avraham played in John Prescott on the right of the area and his square ball across the face of goal presented winger Alpha Turay with a firsttime tap-in to make it 1-0. But six minutes later former Strikers forward Ben Meiklem broke through and slotted the ball past Strikers keeper Colin McCormack to make it 1-1 and stun the home team fans. Strikers’ lead was restored when Josh Calle marked his debut by setting up Avraham for a close-range finish in the 37th minute to make it 2-1. Despite huffing and puffing through the rest of the first half and most of the second period Strikers could not add to the scoreline as Baxter players refused to lie down and keeper James Foster proved a difficult hurdle to overcome. Strikers eventually grabbed some
breathing space when substitute Grant Lane volleyed home at the second attempt in the 83rd minute. Five minutes later a neat one-two with substitute Matt Harrington allowed Prescott to beat the advancing Foster to the ball and neatly dink it past the young keeper to round out the scoreline. In other FFA Cup news featuring local clubs, Somerville Eagles lost 6-0 to an impressive South Yarra, Aspendale Stingrays lost 4-0 to Moreland United, Seaford United lost 2-1 after extra time to Mooroolbark while Frankston Pines lost 3-2 after extra time to Thornbury Athletic. Dylan Waugh put Seaford ahead in the first half at Esther Park but right on half-time Mario Rivera levelled for the home side. The tie was forced into extra time and in the 108th minute Daniel Burrows nabbed the winner. Pines had upgraded their floodlights last week and passed a lighting audit so the tie scheduled as a home match for Thornbury was switched to Monterey Reserve as Thornbury didn’t have a ground available and neither club was keen to play at Darebin International Sports Centre. The less said about this tie the better as after half-time it descended into an at times brutal contest with two players stretchered off and two Pines players red carded in extra time. Both substitute Josh Maclaren and central defender Daniel Mota deserved to be sent off but had referee Arthur Vasiliadis took action against the numerous scything tackles from behind from Thornbury players the game
would have had to be abandoned due to lack of numbers. Travis Ernsdoerfer put Pines ahead with a low shot in the 11th minute and new signing Nick Simmons doubled the advantage in the final minute of the half. Connor McAndrews gave away a penalty five minutes into the second half with a rash challenge and Michael Gaitanis converted at the second attempt after Alfonso Cardinale had parried his initial attempt. Five minutes later scores were tied after Marc Macaluso’s cross-cum-shot sailed over Cardinale’s head and into the far corner of the Pines’ goal. The decisive moment came in the 6th minute of extra time when Bart Holod was sent clear on the right of the area and struck a superb low shot across Cardinale and inside the far post for the winner. In NPL2 news Langwarrin came away from the long trip to Albury with a 1-1 draw against Murray United on Saturday but it had to wait until almost the last kick of the match to grab a point. The home team took the lead in the 59th minute making Langy pay for losing possession and Tom Youngs opened the scoring. It looked as though the visitors would return empty handed to Melbourne until Roddy Covarrubias was at the near post as the ball was played in from the right and he got a touch to send it under Murray keeper Abdulkerim Koc for a 97th minute equaliser. In NPLW news Southern United had another dismal day at the office despite signing former Casey Comets midfielder Natalie Holmes late last week. Holmes came off the bench for the last 15 minutes but was helpless to stop Bulleen chalking up a 10-0 win at Monterey Reserve on Saturday afternoon. Southern’s under-19s lost 5-0, the under-16s drew 1-1 with Eden Abrahams scoring for Southern, the under14s went down 4-0 and the under-12s lost 13-0. This weekend’s league games: SATURDAY 3pm: Langwarrin v Bulleen (Lawton Park); Southern Utd v Geelong Galaxy Utd (Monterey Reserve, under-12s 9am, under-14s 10.10am, under-16s 11.30am, under19s 1pm).

Sharks players called up for national squad “For Olivia, she just missed out on the under17s team at last year’s World Championships so to be included in this squad, she’s a bit surprised about but she’s definitely very excited for it.” When looking at the Sharks women’s team last season, Allen only had positives to say about both of the players. “[Olivia] was an important part of the team in particular with her shooting and her size,” he said. “Jaz was obviously a very critical player for the team as well.” The players were chosen for the squad by talent identification from various tournaments and camps leading up to selection. The final squad will be selected for their camp in May.
SOUTHERN Peninsula Sharks players Jaz Shelley and Olivia Pollerd will join the under-19s Australian squad in preparation for the under19s World Championships in Bangkok in July. The two Sharks’ players were selected to be apart of the World Championship team camp two weeks ago. The girls will join some of Australia’s best junior basketball talent for a weekend long camp in May. Southern Peninsula Sharks basketball operations manager Lucas Allen said they were both incredibly excited to join the squad. “For Jaz, she’s been to two World Championships already including the under-19s as a double bottom age. She’s been to that level before but she’ll still be excited to make the squad once again,” Allen said.

Stable stars impress at jumpouts ANTHONY Freedman’s stable stars Santa Ana Lane and Shoals stepped out in a handy jumpout at Balnarring on Wednesday 27 February. The talented pair, who have recorded seven Group 1 victories and just shy of $6 million between them, finished first and second in the second heat of the morning and look right on track for their return to the races. Santa Ana Lane was allowed to find his feet at the back of the small field before working home powerfully to finish two lengths off his stablemate Shoals, who led from start to finish, in the 1000-metre gallop. Pinecliff-based assistant trainer and Anthony’s son, Sam Freedman, said Santa Ana Lane will be prepared for the Newmarket Handicap at Flemington on Saturday 2 March before heading to Sydney for the $2.5 million T.J. Smith Stakes (1200m) during The Championships. Group 1 options in Hong Kong and the UK remain on the radar later in the season. “He and Shoals were in the same heat this morning,” Freedman said.
IT’S YOUR TURN...
“{Shoals} won it and he finished second, beaten about a length. “We wanted to give him a pretty solid hit-out and we were very pleased with his effort. “The Newmarket looks a nice option for him first-up. We wouldn’t be going there expecting him to win but he can definitely run well and what we’ve seen previously with him is that he improves into his campaign.” Freedman said Shoals had overcome a minor setback that had forced her scratching from the Oakleigh Plate at Caulfield on Saturday 23 February. Connections are now considering first-up options in Melbourne and Sydney over the coming fortnight. “She’s over the little issue she had last week and she’s ready to go to the races now,” Freedman said. “She’ll potentially head to the Newmarket as well, or maybe the Canterbury Stakes in Sydney. “She’s had the three jumpouts now so whether it’s 1200m or 1300m first-up, she should have the grounding to run very well.”
