Revamp for reserve A PERFORMANCE space, market space, and nature-based play area, is being built at Balnarring to encourage outdoor recreation activities while residents make friends with other visitors. The first sod for the works at the Civic Court Reserve was turned Friday 31 August. The mayor Cr Bryan Payne joined Cr David Gill, MP Daniel Mulino, Balnarring Bendigo Bank chair Heather Goddard and members of Balnarring Village Common Community Group on a rather wet day. Also on hand were teachers and pupils from Balnarring Preschool who often use the vacant reserve for outdoor play and activities. The $640,000 project includes $290,000 from the state government, $300,000 from the shire and $50,000 from Bendigo Bank. Landscaping will make use of existing materials at the reserve with natural swales to improve drainage. “This upgrade will create an attractive place for people to come together and be a well-utilised focal point for the township, where a range of community events can be held,” Cr Gill said.

Awards honour community’s workers Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au TWO peninsula community volunteers were honoured for their selfless efforts at last week’s Delys Sargeant AgeFriendly Awards. John Drysdale, a Somerville Community House and Peninsula North Men’s Shed committee member, was named Elder of the Year, while RPPFM’s Dennis Gist was named Senior Achiever of the Year.

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bryan Payne presented the awards at the Mt Eliza Community Centre, Tuesday 28 August. They honour the men’s “significant contributions to the community and the Mornington Peninsula by a person 50-plus years of age”. Other awards were made to individuals, clubs, services or businesses that contribute to building a stronger local community for older people who live, work or play on the Mornington Peninsula.

Mr Drysdale was described as being integral to the establishment and development of the men’s shed movement on the Mornington Peninsula. The sheds promote fellowship, inclusiveness and self-respect among their mainly elderly members. The Peninsula North Men’s Shed, at Baxter, also won an award on the night. Initially financing a men’s shed on his own property, Mr Drysdale worked for five years to secure sufficient funding and site and plans for a purpose-built

shed. He also volunteered his time and expertise to assist in the establishment and revival of other men’s sheds on the peninsula. Mr Drysdale is an executive committee member and field representative of the Victorian’s Men’s Shed Association as well as a valued member of the committee of management of Somerville Community House. Mr Gist’s voice is heard by all sectors of the community as a volunteer presenter on peninsula radio station RPPFM.

Four years ago, he introduced the PACE on AIR segment on his weekly show aiming to help shape the peninsula as a place to age well. He hosts a variety of guest speakers who discuss local opportunities and issues impacting older residents, including local intergenerational opportunities. Mr Gist frequently lends his “radio voice” and “em-ceeing” skills to other community causes, such as the Western Port Festival. Continued Page 11

New PM pumps up Baxter line Brodie Cowburn brodie@mpnews.com.au AUSTRALIA’S new Prime Minister Scott Morrison has made first visit to Frankston as leader, visiting Leawarra station to reaffirm the federal government’s $228 million commitment to electrifying the Frankston train line to Baxter. Member for Dunkley Chris Crewther MP, Minister for Cities, Urban Infrastructure and Population Alan Tudge MP, and Victorian leader of the opposition Matthew Guy MP were among the many faces on hand to support the statement. “This is a project which we announced in the budget, this is a commitment that is fair-dinkum. I’m really pleased to hear about the commitment from Matthew Guy and his team to make sure that this congestion busting infrastructure can be put in place here from Frankston to Baxter,” Mr Morrison said. “I’ll be very pleased to work with a state government that wants to get on and get things done. The FrankstonBaxter line we are 100 percent committed too. The money is in the budget which I handed down for both of these projects, and we’re keen to get on with it. “We’re here at the Frankston corridor, and that corridor has a lot of challenges to it. This infrastructure solution is a key part of meeting that challenge. It’s great to be here to reaffirm the commitments that I have made in the budget

as treasurer, which I confirm today as Prime Minister.” Chris Crewther MP confirmed plans that stations at Frankston East and Langwarrin would be built as part of the $453 million project. The project is currently reliant on both committed funds from the federal government and pledged funds by the state Liberals. The Prime Minister confirmed that if a Liberal government were elected in November’s state election, the project would be on track for completion in 2023. Matthew Guy MP confirmed a state Liberal contribution of $225 million to the project should they win the election, and the Prime Minister called on the state Labor government to match the investment. “I don’t think there is a back up plan to the Labor party not spending money. If the Labor party want to commit to this project I welcome it, and if they don’t, you’ve got a Liberal opposition who is going to invest in it. I’d encourage people to take that option,” Mr Morrison said. “Right now I’d like to see them commit $225 million to the FrankstonBaxter line. That’s what I’d like to see them do.” The News reported on 6 August that the state Labor party was conducting a $3 million business case study to assess the feasibility of the project before committing any funds (“Labor comes to Baxter line party”, The News 6/8/18). Requests for an update on this process were not answered before publication deadline.

Longer hours, no appointments in pound revamp Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au IN what seems like a win for animal rights devotees, Mornington Peninsula shire will open the animal shelter and pound for extended hours on Saturdays and Sundays – without requiring those wanting to visit to adopt a pet to make an appointment beforehand. Previously the pound, at 130 Watt Road, Mornington, was only open without an appointment 10am-1pm Saturdays as part of a six-month trial. The limited times rankled some prospective adopters who felt the shire’s “red tape” regulations were making the process too restrictive. Also, under previous arrangements, those intending to visit had to apply online, await an official confirmation, and fill out paperwork before receiving an appointment time. This inflexible attitude and rigid approach was labelled “unfriendly” by the Victorian Dog Rescue Association of Victoria. Its president Trisha Taylor wrote to former Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Carl Cowie complaining the pound had “developed a reputation as one of the least animal friendly in rescue”. (“Pound unfriendly to strays – animal rescuers claim” The News 25/6/18). After the rethink, the shire says it has “established new opening hours and removed the need for appointments at the pound to better accommodate the needs of local residents

and pet owners”. The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the shire was committed to providing the best possible care for pets when they are lost or abandoned. “After trialling Saturday morning drop-in sessions we were extremely pleased with its success and heard great feedback from local pet owners,” he said. “The new hours and removal of the appointment system aim to improve the adoption rates for the shelter and provide more accessibility for residents wanting to be reunited with their lost pets. “We encourage the community who are interested in adopting a pet to be a part of their family to visit our friendly staff at the shelter to learn more about responsible pet ownership and the next steps.” The pound is open 9am-5pm Monday to Friday and 10am-4pm on Saturdays and Sundays (excluding Christmas Day and Good Friday) without an appointment. There is no change to the phone operating hours. Those with lost pets can call 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000 from 8.30am-5pm seven days a week to arrange collection.

Pets await homes: Male greyhound Bow has a gentle nature and loves walks, chasing balls and car rides. He is a big boy so he does need room to move and would be best suited to large house with older children.

Those wanting to adopt a pet are advised to visiting mornpen.vic.gov.au/pets to view pets available for adoption and learn more about the responsibilities that come with owning a pet.

Interim CEO follows Cowie’s exit Two Bays MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council has appointed Kelvin Spiller (right) as its interim CEO while it searches for a permanent replacement for the departed Carl Cowie. Mr Cowie left Friday 30 August after almost four years at the helm to take up the vacant CEO’s position at Nillumbik, in the outer northern suburbs of Melbourne. The council voted on Monday 3 September to appoint Mr Spiller who is regarded as an experienced local government CEO with 35 years’ experience in business, local government and community sectors as chief executive and board member. He reportedly is highly regarded for his abilities in strategy, governance and operational improvement, and for his “inclusive style of leadership”. He is being paid an all-inclusive daily rate capped at $1650 until a new CEO takes up the position on 9 October. It is believed the decision to appoint an interim CEO was taken to allow internal applicants for the permanent position to be assessed with no preconceived preferences. Also, the council has a number of projects under way that would be affected by disruptions. The council believes Mr Spiller will bring the organisational stability required while overseeing the progress of these projects. The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said Mr Spiller was “well recognised within and outside local government as a skilled communicator and an accomplished leader of executive teams”. “Mr Spiller’s ability to lead and focus executive teams in local gov-

ernment has been well recognised by the Victorian Government who have appointed him to manage councils, including the City of Greater Geelong who were experiencing difficulties,” he said. He started work Tuesday 4 September. McArthur Executive Recruitment has been charged with finding a new CEO. The council expects to interview suitable applicants on 26 September with the best candidate appointed as CEO at the Tuesday 9 October council meeting.

No payout for former boss

FORMER Mornington Peninsula CEO Carl Cowie did not receive a “golden handshake” before departing for Nillumbik. The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said Mr Cowie gave 12 weeks’ notice “as stipulated in his contract” and was given “only his entitlements”, such as holiday pay and long service leave in return. His contract was to have expired on 20 November. “We sat down with Mr Cowie who said he was willing to leave early to take up his new post at Nillumbik. We resolved that it was in the best interests of the organisation for him to go as this can be a very destabilizing time [when one CEO departs and another is appointed].”

roadworks approved

ROADWORKS are slated to begin in Two Bays Road, Mt Eliza, after a tender was awarded last month. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council approved the reconstruction and widening of the road to provide more room for vehicles and cyclists, and to upgrade drainage. Funding will come through the federal government’s Roads to Recovery Program. The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the shire would “continue to work towards safer roads and roadsides, safer speeds, safer vehicles and safer road use in our commitment as a Towards Zero municipality”. Work is expected to start this month and be completed by February.

Have your say Mount Martha Skate Park Mornington Peninsula Shire is seeking feedback from residents about the future of a proposed skate park in Mount Martha. In 2012, Mount Martha Parade Ground was selected as the most suitable site due to its proximity to the town centre, ease of access and good passive surveillance. If this site is utilised, the project cannot proceed until the end of 2022 due to an existing lease at the Ground. The Shire is keen to hear ideas from the community and discuss options to help shape the future of this important recreation opportunity for Mount Martha.

Minister steps in to restore beach Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE state government has postponed building a rock wall at Portsea beach aimed at further preventing sand erosion, and will instead start repairing the existing sandbag seawall using its current design. This follows a bid by Mornington Peninsula Shire to overturn a decision by the Department of Environment, Land, Water, and Planning to build the rock wall which mayor Cr Bryan Payne slammed as “the final environmental nail in the coffin [which would] permanently destroy the beach”. Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio last week ordered the repair of the sandbags laid down in 2010, which, although not in itself paving the way for a return of the sandy beach, is hoped to give the shire and government departments time to develop a better long-term solution. Shire officers attended a meeting to discuss the beach’s restoration with DELWP and the Victorian Coastal Council in June. Late last month the mayor hosted Greens leader Dr Samantha Ratnam and Greens Nepean candidate Paul Saunders on a tour of the site to illustrate the need for its restoration. The beach was regarded as one of the best in the state and was praised by Cr Payne as a “major public asset of the community”. He acknowledged its restoration had become a “difficult and expensive problem to resolve”. “It is important to recognise that coastal areas are not static environments and have to cope

with variable destructive elements, such as wind, waves and a changing climate,” he said. The cost of the sandbag repair is about $950,000. Cr Payne welcomed the minister’s announcement: “The council congratulates Ms D’Ambrosio on this action which provides an opportunity to develop a long-term strategic plan and allows time to gather and assess all known information and research,” he said. “It will require team work and planning involving DELWP, shire, community and the relevant experts sharing all available information.” Cr Payne said coastal erosion and degradation of beaches was a major issue for coastal councils. “We believe it is an issue which should receive a bipartisan policy approach, given the major environmental and economic impacts it can have on coastal communities,” he said. “Coastal erosion can close beaches, either through a loss of sand, as at Portsea, or dangerous cliffs [such as Mt Martha north beach] which require closure for public safety. “Ultimately, these impacts can filter through to the economic activity of coastal villages through a downturn in visitors.” Cr Hugh Fraser said the Portsea Foreshore Advisory Group and Nepean Ratepayers Association had been “fighting for years” to have the state government restore the beach. “President Colin Watson has assembled formidable expert evidence which has now persuaded the minister to revisit her earlier decision to construct a rock wall and to work through with the community what is required to restore the beach.”

NEWS DESK Tall tower for hospital A RE-ELECTED Andrews Labor government will spend $562 million to build an 11-storey tower at Frankston Hospital. The announcement was made at the hospital by Premier Daniel Andrews and state health minister Jill Hennessy on Monday morning. Building will start in 2020 with completion by 2024. The project will include 120 beds, two operating theatres, maternity ward, obstetrics ward, women’s clinic, children’s ward and special care nursery. Two floors will accommodate mental health services. An integrated cancer ward and day clinic will treat people who currently have to travel to Melbourne for treatment. Mr Andrews said the project would create up to 1700 jobs during construction. “This will be the biggest upgrade to an outer suburban hospital in the state’s history,” he said. He said more people were choosing to make Frankston home and the region was experiencing a baby boom. By 2032, there would be about 3000 babies a year born at the hospital. Ms Hennessy said the expansion would cater to an expected extra 10,000 patients a year. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said the project would “create good, secure jobs for people in Frankston and give local families world-class healthcare close to home.” Mike Hast

Ex Tyabb plane crashes THE former Russian fighter plane that crashed in Gippsland last week killing the pilot was previously owned by a member of Peninsula Aero Club, Tyabb. The single engine Yakovlev Yak-9UM fighter crashed near Moe, Friday 7 September. The pilot’s name had not been released yesterday (Monday). Long-time Tyabb resident Jim Wickham sold the plane to its new owners, based at the LaTrobe Valley Airport, near Traralgon, late last year and it flew east in February. Classic Aviation News reported that the Yak-9 was the only example of the type in Australia. It was built in Russia in 2004.

Three men charged after incident

POLICE have apprehended three men after a violent incident in East Melbourne early Friday morning, 7 September, in which a Rosebud man was left with serious injuries. A 27-year-old and 24-year-old, from Fitzroy North, and a 27-yearold from East Melbourne, have been charged with intentionally causing injury, recklessly causing injury and other assault-related offences. They have been bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 4 December. The charges relate to the alleged assault of the Rosebud man, 61, and his friend, 45, of Mt Evelyn, on Wellington Parade after the HawthornRichmond game at the MCG. Police media officer Leonie Johnson said both of victims were taken to hospital for treatment. The Rosebud man suffered serious facial injuries while his friend received a possible broken arm.

Getting fit, having fun the goal for all abilities Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

AN elderly man accidently drove his car into the front of a chemist shop at Rosebud last week. Sergeant Nicholas Simonis, of Rosebud police, said the man, 92, pressed the accelerator instead of the brake of his Ford sedan, 11.40am, Tuesday 4 September. He received minor injuries in the collision. An ambulance attended but the man did not need hospital treatment.

RECREATIONAL and educational activities for people of varying abilities, held Wednesdays at the Civic Reserve Recreation Centre, Mornington, are popular. The Fit N Fun program allows up to 40 participants to enjoy being with their friends and connecting with the community. Participants develop confi-

dence to participate in sporting and physical activity programs, increase their skills, and are advised on healthy eating and personal relationships. They enjoy the challenge of shooting a goal – as well as having fun, interacting and physical activity. The program follows on from the success of the All Abilities day in December when Belgravia Leisure and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council joined to provide regular activities year

round for those interested. They aimed to provide a variety of recreational opportunities that could expand on the sporting program by including an educational component. Community groups involved are the Advocacy Group, Valid, Monash University, Special Olympics Australia and disability providers on the peninsula. Other supporters are the police and Peninsula Health.

Walk aims to shake off debilitating disorder Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au WHEN Dave Smith crosses the finish line in the Dystonia Walk next month he will have his two daughters beside him and friends and supporters out in front to welcome him home. The Dystonia sufferer is training hard to compete in the 21.1km Melbourne Half Marathon, Sunday 14 October, to raise awareness for sufferers of the disease which has ravaged his body for the past three years. “Having run the full marathon in 1983 from Frankston to the Arts Centre in Melbourne I knew this would become my next goal,” he said. After being diagnosed in March 2015 and undergoing deep brain stimulation surgery in April last year, Mr Smith is helping to raise funds for the Brain Foundation for research purposes. Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder that causes muscles in the body to contract or spasm involuntarily, causing twisting, repetitive and patterned movements as well as abnormal postures. Known as the “disorder you just can’t shake off”, Dystonia is not a single disease but a syndrome – a set of symptoms that cannot be attributed to a single cause but share common elements. It can affect a specific body area, such as the neck, face, jaw, eyes, limbs or vocal cords. The condition is debilitating and taxing on the body – especially on sleep. Mr Smith said early on he could not get a good night’s rest

because his hands were shaking. “I would wake up every 15-30 minutes thinking someone was touching my face but it was me making the sheets move,” he said. The sleepless nights led to fatigue and a lack of energy. A keen walker, Mr Smith said exercise was the key as it “helped me gain some sleep as I am not into taking pills or tablets”. Dystonia in both Mr Smith’s arms can be traced back to birth. No other member of his family has it. “It causes problems in everyday life, like tying my shoelaces, starting my car as I am left handed, shaving and dressing myself – buttons are difficult as is putting on a tie,” he said. “Even cutting my toenails was difficult. I had to find shortcuts or tricks

to help me do things everyone can do, like only having small drinks as I would spill a normal cup of coffee or tea. A travel mug with a lid was the answer. “Shaving was out until my son brought me an electric razor. I write using a thick pen, have fatter grips on my knife and fork, use elastic shoe laces and visit a podiatrist for my toenail issue.” Botox injections helped as temporary muscle relief, but deep brain stimulation helped reduce the tremors more permanently. The neurosurgical procedure involved implanting a stimulator in the brain to send electrical impulses through implanted electrodes to specific targets in the brain to treat movement and neu-

ropsychiatric disorders. He said the stimulation to select brain regions also provided therapeutic benefits for other treatment-resistant disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and dystonia. “In this procedure doctors drill two holes into your skull and implant electrodes into your brain. You have to be awake, so the doctors can see if it is effective; the joy for me was it stopped the shakes completely during the operation,” Mr Smith said. “The second part of the stimulation was to insert the stimulator into my chest with leads running up into my brain (thankfully I was asleep for this one). Once hooked up the following day the neurologist came in and turned on my system and, yes, it stopped the shaking.” Unable to drive afterwards the finance and administration manager was off work for six months and now works five hours on Mondays, Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays. He is still unable to write – the result of his brain and hand “not connecting”. “When I try to put pen to paper the shakes do not allow me to write,” Mr Smith said. “Fortunately, I can still type and use the mouse but I do get very tired in the arms afterwards. Getting back to work was another important step in my rehabilitation from this disorder.” On Wednesdays he attends the Living Longer, Living Stronger classes at Pinnacle Health, Dromana. Personal trainer Carley Milton guides the class through a series of exercises, including light weights, exercise bike and rowing machine. “The aim is to keep

the body active which, in turn, helps the mind – and being around likeminded people helps in the recovery and we have a bit of fun.” Each month he visits The Private Sea flotation clinic to allow his aching muscles – the arms in particular – to relax, insuring a better night’s sleep. Mr Smith has raised $1766 so far but is “hoping to get to $21,000 by 14 October” to aid the non-government funded Brain Foundation. “Something I am very passionate about is trying to help find a cure for this disorder,” Mr Smith said. “Family have been my biggest supporters and I thank each and every one of them. When dealt a situation like mine you need all the support you can get. I am grateful also to friends and work colleagues, and to my local doctor and the staff at Monash Medical Centre, Clayton.” Dystonia can affect adults like David or children. By raising awareness of this painful and debilitating condition it is hoped more support will lead to new treatments and research for a cure. “I hope to be able to help at least one person in the future that may suffer from Dystonia Disorder in as much that they are aware that there are groups like the Australian Dystonia Support Group that you can reach out to for support. If anyone can help by donating to my walk it would be much appreciated, especially by the Brain Foundation.” Details: melbournemarathon2018. everydayhero.com/au/dave-s-dystonia-walk

Painters drawn on art to beat Parkinson’s

Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

A DESIRE to give something back to the community after she retired prompted occupational therapist Pamela Farrington to start the Mt Martha creative group Painting with Parkinson’s. Now, however, she realises the benefits run both ways: “All the members are my friends and I value them so much that I am the one who feels blessed.” Ms Farrington has been running PWP for eight years “to give people with Parkinson’s a fun, creative outlet with others who are dealing with various symptoms of the neurologi-

Police patrol

A MAN who smashed a glass door at a Frankston house armed himself with a piece of glass and allegedly threatened the occupants before being fought off by another man inside, 5pm, Wednesday 29 August. Police were told 38-year-old man and two women aged 19 and 37 at the Caley Street house were uninjured in the attack. The man pushed the offender back preventing him from entering the house and he fled on foot empty handed. He is described as aged in his late 20s-early 30s, Islander-Maori in appearance, 177cm tall with dark hair. He was wearing a long sleeved dark-coloured T-shirt, dark coloured pants and dark shoes. Leading Senior Constable Natalie Dean urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

have Parkinson’s she knows the painters “really appreciate their chats over morning tea about various things that concern them, such as treatments and doctors”. “I encourage humour and we feel we can solve most of the problems in parliament – including getting along with each other despite differing views!” she quipped. In a welcome move, Ms Farrington said Mornington Peninsula Shire had taken over paying the $400 annual rent that she had been paying for past five years “to keep my group afloat”. Painting with Parkinson’s at Mt Martha House is supported by the Mornington Peninsula Shire through the neighbourhood house program. The benefits for the painters are a

welcome social inclusion, because often the symptoms of the disease make it hard for them to access other groups. “Falls, memory loss, soft voice, tremor, depression and anxiety can inhibit people mixing socially,” she said. “As a retired community occupational therapist who specialised in Parkinson’s at a rehabilitation centre in Melbourne I am comfortable working with Parkinson’s members and am able to adapt activities accordingly. “We have 10 regular members at present, with numbers fluctuating due to holidays, sickness etc. “Paintings are mostly acrylic but some do pastels and there’s quite a bit of watercolour, too.” The group meets 10am-12 noon,

first and third Wednesdays, but not on school holidays. Mt Martha community house is at 466 Esplanade, Mt Martha, corner Dominion Road. All materials and morning tea is provided. The group took part in the first Peninsula Parkinson’s Walk, Sunday 2 September, around Frankston Botanical Gardens. “It was well attended and we had lovely weather,” Ms Farrington said. “It was the 10th anniversary of the Parkinson’s Walks at Federation Square. The walk was organised by Karen and Glenys of the Frankston Parkinson’s Support Group. “Parkinson’s Victoria is thrilled this regional walk has come to fruition.” Details: Ms Farrington 0448 835 488.

An earlier raid at the TSG smokes shop at Karingal, in which possibly the same offenders tried to drive a car through roller shutters, was also thwarted. Police said a smoke-screen device prevented the theft of cigarettes from the Ashleigh Avenue business, 1.58am, Saturday 1 September.

The members have found this stimulating, satisfying and fun – and something to show to family members and friends.” The group, which meets at Mt Martha Community House, had an exhibition in the foyer of Mornington library where “interest from the public was lovely with two people visiting the group to see us in action”.

By Stephen Taylor SEAWEED and litter build-up on Tassels Cove beach at Martha Cove is irritating one user who thinks the council should make a bigger splash in its clean-up efforts. Ken May said the Marine Drive beach, between Mt Martha cliff and the entrance to the marina, was “neglected” by the council: “I and others who use the beach for many years have been disappointed with the lack of any significant plan and upkeep,” he said. “Perhaps a more appropriate name would be Mornington Peninsula Dirty Beach.” Mr May said in April he decided that, as the conditions had got so bad, he would take up the matter with council. “My major concern is the massive [build-up] of seaweed on the beach, the lack of cleaning, the dreadful deterioration of the car park and the entrance from the carpark to the beach,” he said. The leash-free beach is used daily year round by residents from Mt Martha to Rosebud. Mr May said the condition of the car park had “gone from bad to worse to very, very bad”. “As a former construction engineer I suggested how the problem could best and most economically be rectified,” he said. “This was ignored and counter commented that sealing of the car park would be preferable – well we know that will never happen.” Mr May said a sweep of the part of the beach by the contract cleaner “after three, or is it four months” was done too late to remove the dried seaweed. “It has now broken up and made the sand very dirty,” he said. “The seaweed is still on the lower part of the beach and should be removed by front end loaders and

trucks before it is washed back into the sea again to return later with the next storm. “The car park has deteriorated further, but who cares. We dog walkers will continue to daily clean up the plastic, dead spiked pufferfish (between six-15 a day in the past week) and other washed-up debris. “We have cleared most of the rocks in the sand by hand but a few are too heavy for us, and nothing has been done to maintain the shrubbery in the past 10 years to my knowledge.” The shire’s executive manager infrastructure services Jessica Wingad said Tassels Cove was a “very well used and highly valued part of the coastline for our community”. “The shire is pleased to regularly clean this section of coast in line with

our routine maintenance program for all the beaches that we maintain across the peninsula,” she said. “Shire-maintained beaches are cleaned every 10 days, weather and tide permitting. Given the natural value and dynamic nature of this section of coastline, seasonal changes can impact the amount of debris on the beach throughout the year. “Natural coastal vegetation plays an important part in maintaining the stability of dunes and pruning of natural vegetation is only undertaken when access is compromised. “The shire is also very pleased to support our local community clean-up groups that play an important role complementing our regular beach cleaning program.”

Stringers still doing what it does best SORRENTO’S landmark Stringers Store is being readied for its next century. The two-storey limestone building, which changed hands in March, has always been a merchant’s store of some description, with new owners the Saba family very much involved in the vision and changes recently adopted. “We stock all the essentials for holidaymakers, with a delicatessen and bottle shop alongside the supermarket,” manager Cosmo McIntyre said. “A cafe serves light meals and coffee for weary day-trippers to refuel after a long drive or the walk up from the beach.” Stringers Store was established in 1896 as a classic part of Sorrento’s heritage and has continued to provide for the community ever since. “It was run for the past 25 years by the Fairlie family: Warwick, Helen, Nina and Lucy, and their team, and we thank them for their invaluable contribution in maintaining one of Sorrento’s iconic establishments,” Mr McIntyre said. He said the store would continue to “celebrate the locals through promoting local producers and artisan food makers, and enhancing our curated wine store by focusing on organic wines and wineries of the Mornington Peninsula region”. “The delicatessen, which is now double the size, offers the best local cured meats and cheeses as well as the best Italian small goods, European cheeses and imported specialty lines headed by ex-DOC Deli manager Devis Perondi,” he said. Other valued staff members include

Mr McIntyre said. “Our ready-made meals of soups, curries, salads and lasagnes – which have been popular with Sorrento families for years – will continue to feed them for years to come.” He said the store was marketing a

range of heat and eat organic snack foods, including pies, pasties and triangles, while Mr Quarto was baking bread, pizzas, arancini, and assorted Italian pastries and sweets. “We have plans to re-commission the 100-year-old oven that baked bread

for the whole of Sorrento back in the early 1900s, and for a pop up pizza restaurant,” Mr McIntyre said. As part of its new direction the store has gone smokes-free under its new ownership. Steve Taylor

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Lance Corporal Holland wounded again Compiled by Brodie Cowburn LANCE Corporal Lyle Holland late driver for the Peninsula Motor Garage Pty Ltd Frankston has been wounded (second occasion) in France. *** MESSRS T. R. B. Morton and Son report, having leased, through J. L. Parkes, one of their auctioneers, Mrs Boag’s property at Dromana, for a term of years. *** A FOOTBALL match between Frankston and Hastings will be played at Frankston today. Last Saturday Mordialloc visited Frankston, and after an interesting game, won by 2 points. *** AN order has been made by the Executive Council providing that all butchers’ shops within the shire of Frankston and Hastings shall close on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings in each week from 6pm. *** A WORKING bee under the auspices of the Frankston Progress Association will be held this (Saturday) afternoon, when the old fence on the eastern side of the Mornington road, opposite the tennis court, will be removed. A good muster of members and intending members is requested. *** HELP for the Wounded—The Frankston school children are sending their annnal contribution of food and delicacies, to the brave fellows who have battered their health out fighting for us, and who now lie wounded and spent in the wards of their noble Institution the Caulfield Base Hospital.

The parcels will be sent away next Tuesday, and donations of the following will be most gratefully received by the children – Bacon, Eggs, Butter, Cheese, Tinned-milk, Cakes, Jams, Fruits, Sweets, Jellies Sauces, Coffee, Cocoa. Sugar, Oatmeal, Maize, Tobacca, Cigarettes, etc. *** OWING to an error in the wording of the advertisement convening the meeting, nothing could be done at the meeting to elect a local executive committee under the Commonwealth Repatriation act, which was held in Frankston on Wednesday. It was ultimately decided that another meeting be called, and this will be held on Friday, 20th inst. A deplorable lack of interest is being shown by the majority of residents in the most important repatriation work, and it is to be hoped that they will shake off their apathy, and roll up in force on Friday evening. *** COUNCILLORS of the various municipalities are considering the best means by which they will be able to stimulate the investments in war loans in their respective districts, and secure, for their municipalities credit for the amounts applied for by their own ratepayers. In nearly every municipality there a large number of people who find it convenient to arrange for their contributions to be made in the city and they are to be asked to attach a note to their application forms stipulating that credit is to be given to the municipality in which they live. At the last meeting of the

Frankston, and Hastings shire council, it was decided that the councilors of each riding be a committee, and that every effort be made to raise the quota required from the shire, viz £16 000. Public meetings are to be called in each centre, and no effort will be spared to ensure that the required sum will be raised. *** WHY WE ARE AT WAR Germany’s Lust for Power: Her Pre-War Schemes It must be obvious to every thinking person throughout Australia that the Great War has now reached its most acute and terrible crisis. Upon the fields of France is at present being decided the whole future of our race, and of civilisation itself. On that issue the national life of Australia and the safety and honour of every man and woman within her coasts absolutely depends. That is why every man who can do so is asked to go forth and fight for his country today. No eligible man in Australia today can escape the obligation to do this. The British Empire is at war; the Mother Country and others of our fellow Dominions are fighting with their full strength extended. If we are not prepared to put forth our full strength, we are no true part of that Empire. Our Empire and our Allies are in this war with clean hands. No Australian who is of military age can avoid the obligation of fighting on the ground that he and his race have been plunged against their will into an unjust war.

For many years before the outbreak of hostilities, Britain had steadily worked for the world’s peace. She had constantly striven to limit the ruinous race of armaments which was jeopardising the world’s security. Germany would have none of such limitation; she strove tooth and nail against it. In 1907 the British Government, to show its readiness for peace, prepared estimates reducing its naval construction by 50 per cent. Germany, on the other hand, passed a Navy Law adding six large cruisers to her fleet. Great Britain, however, was not discouraged. In 1912, and again in 1913, Mr. Winston Churchill suggested a naval holiday; but Germany rejected such overtures absolutely. If in the years before the War there was any display of militarism forecasting the present world conflagration, the fault was not Britain’s, but Germany’s alone. A recently published letter by Prince Karl Lichnowsky, formerly the Kaiser’s ambassador at the Court of St. James, forms a telling indictment of the German policy prior to the War, and makes it clear that British statesmen strove hard to unite the German and Anglo Saxon races, and to remove friction. The Prince says: “As usual, we took the wrong side, with dynastic against democratic ideas. During the conference of ambassadors in 1913 Sir Edward Grey did not side with France and Russia. He usually sided with our group, so the conference did not provide a pretext for a conflict.”

But Britain’s forbearance and desire for peace, and the contrasting aggressiveness of the German spirit, were never more strikingly illustrated than during the negotiations immediately receding the War. There cannot be the slightest doubt that Germany and Austria had at this period determined upon warfare. The Kiel Canal was practically completed, and the last instalment of Germany’s huge war loan of a million marks had fallen due in June, 1914. Austria, at German dictation, now delivered her insulting ultimatum to Serbia, who still strove hard for peace. When Russia, after repeatedly suggesting arbitration, prepared to come to the aid of her oppressed fellow Slavs, Germany deliberately kicked out the wedge that secured the world’s peace. She declared war on Russia on August 1, 1914, and on France on August 3. No Australian need have a moment’s hesitation about joining the colours on the ground of the justice of his cause. *** WANTED – Nurse Girl, young, for 2 Children – Apply Miss BOYETT, “Green Gables,” Frankston, or Mr P.

Tigers take out premiership DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn DROMANA have held Red Hill at bay to claim the 2018 MPNFL Division Two premiership at Frankston Park. The Tigers lost just two games for the entire year, with both their defeats coming at the hands of Red Hill. The Hillmen have improved in leaps and bounds this season under coach Jamie Mollo, and having defeated Dromana just two weeks earlier in their first final they entered the Grand Final full of confidence. Red Hill’s quest to claim their first premiership since 1990 hit a snag early, when Rheede Hopgood was struck down before the match with a calf injury. Andrew Mock came in as a late replacement. Things got worse for the Hillmen when Dromana held them goalless in the first quarter. Nerves were a big issue for Red Hill early, as they failed to hit targets and turned the ball over on numerous occasions going forward. Having not hit the scoreboard yet, they needed to hit the ground running in the second quarter. After the first break the Hillmen stormed back into contention, booting six unanswered goals to stun the Tigers. Jono Ross and Sean Marchetti led the charge for the Hillmen, booting five goals between them in just 15 minutes. After a sloppy start they started to hit their targets and look dangerous. Things were set to get even worse for the Tigers, as gun forward Ethan

Johnstone exited the field holding his right shoulder. He was in visible discomfort, and ruled out for the remainder of the game. Down by two goals and needing someone to stand up in front of goal in the wake of Johnstone’s early exit, Dromana needed a hero to claim control of the match. Sam Fowler was the man to lead from the front for the Tigers, nabbing a goal just before half time and continuing to trouble the scorers in the second half. The Tigers recovered from their sloppy second quarter to claim back the lead early in the third term, and began dictating the play. Star defender Jonah Siversen was busy for Red Hill, but he could only do so much to stem the flow of Dromana attacks. By three quarter time the Tigers held a 13 point lead, but there was still plenty of noise around the Red Hill huddle. The Hillmen kept themselves in contention and were the better side in the final term, but ultimately were made to pay for their sloppiness in the first term. Coach Rikki Johnston stood tall late to kick the sealing goal for his side, as the Tigers clinched the premiership cup in a 9.5 (59) to 10.7 (67) thriller. Dromana will be taking their silky brand of football to Division One next season, as they have been promoted as a result of their premiership win. Rosebud have been relegated to Division Two.

Sharks into big dance

DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn SORRENTO has earned their way through to the MPNFL Division One Grand Final with a win over Mt Eliza at Frankston Park. The game got off to a great start for Sorrento, as Shannon Gladman opened the scoring with an impressive banana kick. Mt Eliza quickly replied though, as last weeks seven goal superstar Jordan Moncrieff snagged an early goal. Mt Eliza went behind early but fought back in the second term, as an unlikely bounce saw the ball fall into the lap of Moncrieff, who put the Redlegs within two points. The Sharks soon fell behind, and went into the half time break behind by seven points. In the second half, Sorrento looked sharp and brought the game back on level terms thanks to a monster effort from skipper James Hallahan. Leigh Poholke put the Sharks ahead and suddenly it was the Redlegs on the ropes. A five goals to none third term had the Redlegs hurting, but it wasn’t all good news for the Sharks though, as Chris Dawes went off the ground with an injured leg, putting his finals campaign in jeopardy. The Sharks were too good for the Redlegs in the end, as the loss brought an end to Mt Eliza’s season and Troy Shannon’s tenure as coach. Sorrento won the match 12.12 (84) to 9.9 (63) and will play Pines at Frankston Park on Sunday.

Dolphins depart for St Kilda coaches box VFL

By Brodie Cowburn FRANKSTON Dolphins will are on the lookout for a new coach, after current senior coach Adam Skrobolak accepted a full time position with St Kilda for next year. Skrobolak was appointed coach for the Dolphins’ return the VFL, and helped guide the side to two wins this season. Skrobolak has been balancing his work with the Dolphins with a part time role with the Saints this season. “It was definitely a decision I wrestled with for a long time, given I’ve only had the one year at the club and how invested I am with the current players. In the end the opportunity presented to me was compelling and gives me an opportunity to impact at the Saints in the areas that match my strengths,” Skrobolak said. “It’s been an incredible and at times crazy 12 months. I think people on the outside underestimate the amount of effort that has gone into re-establishing this football

club in the VFL. Not just from myself, and the other coaches and players, but right across the club. As we sit here today, I think we have a pretty strong footy program in place and I’m hoping that the next coach can pick that up, improve the playing list and build on it further.” Dolphins assistant coach Jake Batchelor will also depart the club at the end of the year to link up with Skrobolak in a full time role with St Kilda. Frankston Dolphins general manager Gary Buckenara said that “there will be a real Frankston flavour to their coaching panel next year”. “To have two members of our 2018 coaching panel considered in such high esteem and offered full time AFL roles is something for us to take pride in as a football club,” he said “We wish Adam and Jake all the very best, but I’m confident that we will attract some really high quality coaching candidates for our role.” The club is aiming to appoint their new senior coach by late September.

‘Jamo’ back at Mornington, Baxter safe SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie Adam Jamieson’s return to Mornington and Baxter’s escape from relegation are the major stories to emerge from last weekend’s final round of the league season. Mornington will announce this week that Jamieson has been appointed as head coach for 2019. It will be his second stint at the club after stepping down last May citing work commitments as the main reason for his departure. Jamieson first took the reins at Dallas Brooks Park in 2009 and led Mornington from Provisional League to the doorstep of the NPL winning State 1 championships in 2015 and 2016. “A big part of taking on the job again is having Nathan Peel as my assistant,” Jamieson said. Peel is a former English professional who has been on the books of Preston North End, Sheffield United and Burnley and is the principal of Absolute Soccer academy and former director of coaching at Mount Martha soccer club. “Nathan said he’d only come in if I was involved and that’s what started me talking with some Mornington committee members again and here we are,” Jamieson added. Jamieson will also look closely at Mornington’s junior structure while Peel will be involved with coaching education at that level. “I think we have to probably stop looking overseas to some degree and start looking at getting results with local talent if we can,” Jamieson said. He has hit the ground running having already agreed terms with an NPL striker and is rumoured to be holding talks with a goalkeeper this week. Mornington ended the State 1 SouthEast season with a 3-1 home win over Malvern City last weekend. Keegan Ziada (2) and Andre Bennett scored for the home side. Meanwhile Baxter completed the great escape on Saturday with an 86thminute Mark Pagliarulo goal giving it a 2-2 draw at home to championship aspirant Springvale City. The result saved Baxter from relegation and pitched Springvale into a promotion play-off after it finished runner-up to Monash Uni. “Pags” came out of retirement to play the last few games for Baxter and has now written a climactic final chapter to his already colourful career there. He ensured a nailbiting end to a topsy-turvy season with a looping header

Great escape: Baxter senior coach Roy Kilner flanked by sons Liam (left) and Owen after Saturday’s dramatic 2-2 draw with Springvale City. Picture: Joyce Kilner

from a Ben Meiklem free-kick that sent Baxter fans into raptures. Baxter had taken the lead in the 22nd minute when Jake Kidder headed home Dan Disseldorp’s cross. Five minutes into the second half scores were level after a Jullet Martin strike was deflected past Baxter keeper James Foster. When Daniel Vargas went down inside the area in the 71st minute and Arnel Zahirovic converted from the spot to make it 2-1 Baxter was teetering on the edge. Springvale was within touching distance of the title until “Pags” spoilt their party and started one of his own. Baxter senior coach Roy Kilner stepped down after the match ending his second stint with the club which now is on the lookout for a coach for the 2019 season. In NPL2 news Langwarrin failed to send Gus Macleod out on a winning note when it went down 1-0 away to Melbourne City on Saturday. A Sam Morrison goal in the 65th minute proved decisive. In NPLW news Southern United lost 4-1 at home on Saturday to Senior NTC. The visitors hit the front in the 20th minute when Southern keeper Freya Crocker did well to get down and parry but the rebound was slammed into the roof of the net by Georgie Richardson.

A Holly Furphy tap-in in the 20th minute made it 2-0 but great work by Southern’s US import Michaela Dooley down the right three minutes from half-time was capped by a superb cross and a simple close-range finish from Sarah Wieck to make it 2-1. A back post header from Shaelan Chamoun in the 55th minute made it 3-1 and Ashley Jordan completed the scoreline in the 66th minute after winning possession and striking a low shot inside the far post. Earlier in the day Southern’s under16s lost 2-0 to league champion Mini NTC. Southern used the match as preparation for its upcoming finals campaign by using its under-14s knowing that its regular under-16s faced a catch-up match the next day. And although the elite NTC juniors enjoyed the bulk of possession Southern held them at bay and fashioned a handful of good scoring chances. NTC opened its account in the 19th minute after a superb turn and finish from close range by Sienna Cappola. NTC’s Silver Bell Morris played an excellent through ball in the 36th minute and Cappola cleverly lobbed the ball on the volley over advancing Southern keeper Caddy Vakacavu from the edge of the area. Southern’s under-19s lost 8-1 to Junior NTC with Stara Karimi scoring for Southern late in the match.

In State 2 South-East news, Peninsula Strikers lost 5-3 away to Mazenod on Saturday. The result sent the home team into State 1 next season while Strikers had already cemented their place in State 2. The news wasn’t good for Frankston Pines though as last weekend’s 4-1 loss away to Doncaster Rovers anchored the local side to the bottom of the State 2 South-East ladder and condemned it to the drop. James Kalifatidis (3) and Masayuki Hata scored for Doncaster while Mitch Landers scored for Pines. In State 3 South-East news Skye United finished the season with a 2-2 home draw against Brighton on Saturday. Cam Leopold notched a double for Skye while Brighton’s goals came from Michael Knott and a Billy Painting own goal. Harry McCartney reports that nineman Seaford is clinging to the faint hope that it has given itself a State 3 lifeline with an amazing 3-2 away win over Noble Park United last weekend. Seaford hit the lead in the 13th minute after good work from youngster Cody Storton-French earned a corner and Noble Park’s botched clearance from the set piece was met by Matty Schwellinger whose half-volley went in off the crossbar. Nine minutes later Conor Mcfall

was awarded a dubious penalty and Dean Snoxell converted to make it 2-0. In the 38th minute Seaford was caught square at the back as Vojislav Milojevic ran onto a Nicholas Andrejic through ball for an easy finish past Seaford keeper Anthony Madafferi. Eight minutes into the second half scores were level as Seaford was hit on the counter attack allowing Denny Bejan to tap in from close range. Seaford’s hopes took another hit in the 84th minute when Matty Schwellinger was sent off for swearing after being on the wrong end of a late challenge. But a minute later another Seaford youngster, Mitch Hawkins, met a bouncing ball and lobbed it from 25 metres over the advancing keeper to make it 3-2. In the 88th minute Mcfall received a second caution making for a nervous finish as the referee found six and a half minutes of injury time but Seaford somehow held on. The result means Seaford finishes second bottom and seems certain to be relegated albeit that it thinks it may benefit from the domino effect of Morwell Pegasus’ withdrawal from State 1 South East. In State 5 South news Somerville Eagles’ promotion push ended in a heartbreaking 1-0 away loss to Pakenham United on Saturday. Against the run of play Pakenham’s Simon Johnstone-Robertson scored in the 78th minute and the home side held on. In injury time Pakenham’s gamesmanship took its toll with a second yellow card to Damian Finnegan and a straight red for James McKenzie summing up an afternoon of frustration. Somerville player-coach Dave Greening lauded the efforts of his players after the match. “Obviously at this stage emotions are raw and we are all disappointed. The lads are devastated,” Greening said. “But I’m proud of them, they are a great bunch and we will lick our wounds, recharge our batteries and come back in 2019 determined to make sure this time next year we are celebrating.” Aspendale was thumped 6-1 at home to Knox United last weekend but despite the loss the club consolidated its status in its first season in State 5 South. Next weekend’s game: SATURDAY 10.15am: Southern Utd v South Melbourne (U14 semifinal, Monterey Reserve).

Mornington runners ready to race at Festival

Off and running: Mornington little athletes enjoy a day out at their current venue. Picture: Supplied

HUNDREDS of eager runners are set to head to Mornington Park for the annual Mornington Running Festival which kicks off on Sunday 23 September. The running festival will see runners race down the Esplanade in Mornington to as far as the Mount Martha village for events such as the 1km kid’s dash, the 5km and 10km fun runs/walks and the popular 21.1km half marathon. The starting and finishing points for

all events is located at Mornington Park, while the Esplanade will have the beachside-half of the road closed to all traffic to allow the runners to complete their single lap out-andback course. Four completion-based team challenges (Primary School, Secondary College/High School, Sporting Clubs, and Community/Corporate/Family/ Friends) will be run on the day, with the team with the highest aggregate points winning a clothing package

valued at $1,000. Trophies will also be awarded to the top three finishes for male and female in each category, except for the kid’s race, where each child competing will receive a medal and spot prizes throughout the day. The price to compete in each category varies. For more information on the Mornington Running Festival go to www.morningtonrunningfestival.com/. Ben Triandafillou

Little Aths track gets underway CONSTRUCTION on the Mornington Little Athletics Centre’s new $2 million IAAF standard athletics track at Civic Reserve, Mornington has started to get underway. Civil work construction commenced a few weeks ago to level out the dirt and create an even surface for their new track to be built on, and the little athletes are on track to be competing on the new surface by October 2019. Mornington Little Aths president Todd Martin said that with a bit of luck, the club should be on the track by the start of their 2019/20 season. “We always thought it would be around that time next year with all the planning and construction which had to be done,” Martin said. “The federal government have pledged $2 million to Little Athletics and $1 million to the Mt Martha Soccer Club, and the council, out of this year’s budget, have also pledged about $3.5 million. So it’ll be a bit over $6 million which is being planned to be spent on the complex.” The upgraded Civic Reserve complex is planned to have four new soccer pitches as well as the new athletics track. Martin also said that a future pavilion has been in discussion over the past three to four months. “A new pavilion has been bought

up but it isn’t completely funded as of yet,” he said. “The planning on what is to be done with the pavilion has been done in consultation with us and the soccer club. We’ve landed on an idea on how it will look, but it’s likely to be a little while longer before construction begins on that depending on the financial support. “There’s no real definite time set on the new pavilion but I’d be assuming it’d be a couple years off at the moment.” Currently the Mornington Little Athletics Centre has been utilising the Mornington Secondary College as their temporary set-up since moving from their original venue at Mace Oval, Mt Martha just over a year and a half ago. Martin said having Mornington Secondary College as a venue has been a great help for the club. “It’s been good. The school has been very accommodating for us,” he said. “It’s given us a good opportunity to run on a 400m track instead of the 250m track that we had at Mace Oval. It doesn’t sound like a massive difference, but it does change the way that the program runs, and it has been a good experience to run around there in preparation for our move to Civic Reserve.” Ben Triandafillou

Written By ready and rearing for big return GRAHAME Begg’s boom colt, Written By, will have his final exhibition gallop at Mornington on Thursday 13 September before he makes a muchanticipated return to the races next Saturday. The dominant Blue Diamond winner is set to gallop between races at the Mornington meeting before he returns to Caulfield on Saturday 22 September as he tries to keep his unblemished record at the track intact. Despite bungling the start, the son of Written Tycoon has also won a trial at Sandown on Thursday 30 August, and trainer Grahame Begg believes his final gallop at Mornington will top him off nicely. “Just going to the races should stimulate him a bit more and get the juices flowing,” Begg said. “He won’t need another jump out. He’s only running over 1000m first up so it should be sufficient enough for him.

“By the time he returns he would have had three trips away and that’ll be plenty for him. He’ll certainly be sharp enough [for the 1000m].” The form around Written By’s two-year-old season is also filling Begg with a bit of confidence heading forward, with several runners coming back and franking the form in their three-year-old season. Most notably, the Darren Weirtrained Native Soldier finished two-lengths behind Written By in the Blue Diamond Prelude and has since been an emphatic three-length winner of the Group Three H.D.F McNeil Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday 1 September. The Tony McEvoy-trained filly Sunlight, who finished less than a length in front of Written By in the Group One Golden Slipper, has also come back and been a strong winner of the Group Three Quezette Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday 18 August.

“Lots of other horses have won and run well, and it’s the same with this coming Saturday (8 September),” Begg said. “There’s a lot coming back that have run against him in Melbourne and Sydney so we’ll keep a close eye on that form.” Following his exhibition gallop, Written By is set to return in a 1000m set weights and penalties race at Caulfield before being aimed at the $350,000 Blue Sapphire (1200m) at Caulfield in October. Begg said the plan is to head thirdup into the Group One Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington during the Melbourne Cup carnival. While the Coolmore Stud Stakes is Written By’s main aim for the spring, Begg also said the Group One Darley Classic (1200m) in November could be on the cards but would be highly dependent on how Written By pulls up after each run.

Gulls complete clean sweep BASKETBALL

By Ben Triandafillou THE Chelsea Gulls weren’t fazed by an unfortunate change of venue, and scored a convincing victory over the Shepparton Gators to take out the Big V division one championship on Saturday 1 September. A car crash, where no one was injured, was the cause of the late change of venue, with a fallen power pole restricting access to the Gulls’ stadium. The Gulls instead faced the Gators in the second round of the bestof-three grand final series at the Frankston Basketball Stadium. That didn’t stop the massive wave of Gulls supporters flocking to the game to see their side lift the championship banner. The Gulls quickly took up the lead in the opening quarter and didn’t look back. While the Gators threw out a challenge in the second quarter, they were unable to match the vigour shown by the Gulls. The Gulls’ “big three” in Corey Standerfer, Matt Brasser and Mitch Riggs certainly bought their best to the final, dropping 62 points between them to claim the win by 10 points (83-73). Chelsea Gulls’ head coach Peter Caspersz said the way the side was playing, the championship victory never looked in doubt. “Hindsight’s a great thing, but after the first quarter it was pretty much all over,” Caspersz said. “They made a run at us in the

second quarter, but we answered everything that they threw our way. “Corey was a standout and got the MVP, probably by a country mile.

Mitch Riggs dropped 22-points and Matt Brasser went 14 (points) and 10 (rebounds). “The big three certainly came

through.” For the overall season, the Chelsea Gulls dropped just the three games and will look to push that

form into the state championship division next season. Caspersz said there will be some changes to the side to hopefully help match it with the competition in the higher division. “We’ll look at getting a second import and probably a new power forward and centre,” he said. “We use multiple [power forwards] at the moment, like Corey, but we need somebody who’s probably around six foot, 10 [inches] to be able to negate the bigger the guys. “It’s going to be tough [in the state championship division], and we’re going to need them.” Caspersz believes the step up to the state championship division is well within their capabilities. “Between the first couple of teams in division one, I think they would make the transition pretty well, but anyone else I think would struggle,” he said. “We will get a few practise matches in, but we won’t play anyone below us as it can give you a false reading on how you’re travelling.” The Gulls have their presentation night on Saturday 8 September before their league’s presentation in two weeks’ time. “We’ll then have a few weeks completely off,” Caspersz said. “I don’t think we’ll need to see each other for a bit after that, and we can all enjoy that time away.” The Big V season kicks off again in April 2019.

Keeper savours World Cup experience HOCKEY

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON Peninsula Hockey Club goalkeeper, Julia Ashmore, represented Australia for the first time in the over-45s Masters World Cup in Terrassa, Spain from Saturday 28 July to Sunday 5 August. Ashmore entered the Australian side with little expectations for the World Cup but returned home just one spot shy of earning a bronze medal. Ashmore helped the national side match it with the world’s best in the scorching conditions, and after claiming four of their five matches in the group stage, Australia made their way through to the semi-finals. In the semi-final, Australia faced the in-form English side, which had won all five of their matches in the group stage, and were defeated 3-1. Australia went on to face Russia in the third-versus-fourth final, and while the scores couldn’t be split during regular time (1-1), Russia eventually claimed the bronze medal to win by one goal in a shootout. Ashmore said it was a little disappointing to not come home with a medal, but as always it was an honour to represent her country. “We had plenty of opportunities to snatch the win, but in saying that we were up against the world’s best and we did the best that we could,” Ashmore said. “We were a bit gutted, but overall the Australian contingent did extremely well and the experience was absolutely unbelievable. “We had a great team and a great group of women, and we all gelled well.” Ashmore wore her required goalie gear throughout the World Cup in

conditions which reached upwards of 40 degrees during the day. “It was a little bit unbearable at times but there was only one game that the heat got to me and that was against the Netherlands (4-0 loss),” she said. “It was extremely hot but a fantastic experience with a few interesting events.” Prior to the World Cup, Australia played in a couple of practise matches, with one being against the over-35s English squad. “On the way to the practise game the bus broke down which wasn’t too great,” Ashmore said. “Then once we got going again there was a fire on the side of the freeway which caused more delays for about an hour and a half. “Then coming back, the bus broke down again so we had to get another bus to take us back, It was just a comedy of errors in the one day. “We got there in the end and they were very tough. It was a good game and we were beaten only by about one goal.” Ashmore is set to travel again to Bunbury, Perth on Friday 28 September for the over-40s National Championships. Fellow Mornington Peninsula Hockey Club players Emma Brown and Kim Trezise will be representing Victoria in the women’s over-35s. Rebecca Gipp will also be representing the women’s over-50s and Margaret Nettleship will be representing the women’s over-65s. In the Men’s division, Todd Lisson and Greg Burch will represent Victoria in the over-45s and over-55s, respectively.
