Plea for diligence with donations Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au

Somerville wall for Warne ROB Phillips has always been a cricket fanatic, and plays for French Island.

The Somerville business owner was hit hard by the death of his idol, Shane Warne. “We really wanted to do some-

thing to honour Shane”, Phillips said.

“My partner Bec suggested a mural”.

The tribute now adorns the wall of his business Phillips Auto Spark, in Simcock Street, Somerville.

MORNINGTON Peninsula residents are being warned that leaving donations outside closed shops or full bins over Easter could lead to them being captured on CCTV and fined.

According to the waste watch group Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria, around 90 per cent of all donations left outside charitable stops or recycling bins end up in landfill because they are damaged or soiled.

Vinnies general manager Jeff Antcliff says that although peninsula residents are getting better at reducing this waste, there is still a long way to go.

“Over the past five years we have had a reduction on things being left unattended at our shops on the peninsula, and I’d like to thank residents for that, but it’s about continuing that education process,” he said.

Mr Antcliff said well-meaning people went to a lot of trouble to launder and fold and pack good for donations, only to leave it unattended, where it often became soiled by weather or blown around.

“We are trying to get the message of reuse and recycle and part of that message is only leaving donations at open stores, or placing inside a donation bin,” he said.

Dumping donations actually results in op shops and recycling shops having to foot the hefty disposal and landfill bill, estimated to be around $3.4 million a year.

Given that Easter and key holiday periods are when the bulk of donations happen, Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria says a lot of clothing, household textiles and other items may not get a new lease on life or benefit those in greatest need if left outside a closed store.

KABV’s Travis Finlayson said people often see donations left outside op shops, and so believe they are doing the right thing by adding to the piles.

“Without realising it ... they have left their donations exposed to being rifled through, picked over and what is not stolen, scattered about in messy, windswept piles of litter, open to the elements.

“This often means those quality items are no longer saleable and most likely end up in landfill.”

According to Mr Finlayson an increase in CCTV outside charity stores and at clothing bin hubs across Melbourne has seen a significant increase in signs warning people off donating out of hours or outside bins.

Picture: Gary Sissons Some stores have resorted to installing barriers or blocking off the front entrances to stop donations to closed stores while a growing number of councils are now contemplating reducing the number of resource recovery bins because they have become too difficult to manage.

Mr Finlayson said the increased surveillance had resulted in a growing number of donors being issued with fines to reduce the number of donations ending up in landfill.

“However, it is important to point out that we are not ‘enforcement happy’ and that enforcement is very much the last resort. Rather we are trying to ensure that donations have a positive impact on our circular economy,” he said. “So, my big plea to all the wonderful donors out there: Let’s aim at diverting as much as we can from landfill this Easter. Let 2022 be a critical turning point and the moment where we all do our bit towards building a true circular economy.”

Calves in need of a ‘forever’ home Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula residents are being asked to open their hearts and provide a forever home to the unwanted calves of the dairy industry.

The ’Til The Cows Come Home charity is looking for adopters who can take on two calves to raise as pets, never to end up on the dinner table.

Operations manager Rachele Clarke says every year millions of unwanted farmed animals suffer an unimaginable fate.

“These animals are the forgotten ones, they often endure terrible lives before they come to us, but we feed them up, get them healthy and try to find caring homes for them,” she said.

“Calves are such beautiful, sentient animals that really bond with humans, but most of all they will give their owners love and bring them joy and friendship.”

Moorooduc adopter Sarah Rollinson can attest to that. The hobby farm owner has fostered dozens of calves that needed immediate care before finding their permanent homes and has adopted three calves and two adult cows.

“Some of the calves come to us on death’s door, so you develop a bond with them after looking after them and they bond with you as well,” she said.

“My three little calf boys are now a

group of friends who I call the Three Amigos, and they are adorable.

“It’s incredibly rewarding experience to work with calves, and cows are now my favourite animal … I call them my grass puppies. Each one has its own personality, but they are all loving and give so much.”

Ms Clarke said the charity‘s volunteers daily see the sad reality of farm “waste” and animal neglect.

“They see first-hand how the focus on profits results in animals being treated as objects, when it is proven that animals feel pain, love, and sadness,” she said.

Ms Clarke said the charity currently had a number of calves surrendered from local dairy farms who needed forever homes.

At time, there are up to 60 calves in foster care in Victoria alone.

“We urgently need to get these calves adopted so we have room to save more calves being born on dairy farms every week,” she said.

To adopt a calf, email info@ tilthecowscomehome.org to express interest.

COASTREK ambassador Jo Stanley.

Peninsula is ‘ideal’ for May Coastrek REGISTRATIONS for Coastrek - returning to the Mornington Peninsula on Friday 27 May – close on Thursday (14 April).

Coastrek founder and CEO Di Westaway said many people sought open spaces to explore and the peninsula “delivered in every way, with wild ocean coastlines, secluded bays, rugged bushland and beautiful beaches”.

“Coastrek is a fantastic fitness goal and with a dedicated 6-12 week training program completed even before you get to the start line, you will be well prepared to get the most out of this life-changing experience,” she said.

Coastrek ambassador radio and TV presenter Jo Stanley and her team, The 4 Broads, says they are taking on the challenge to raise awareness for women’s health and support Beyond Blue.

“I truly believe in the power of connecting women with women to achieve great things – and a shared experience like Coastrek not only encourages better health and wellbeing, but it also shines a light on the ongoing need for mental health support throughout the community,” Stanley said.

She will be joined by fellow Coastrek ambassadors, comedian Libbi Gorr and journalist Jennifer Byrne.

Registration closes on Thursday for the 30km and 45km treks for teams of four, including Cape Schanck at sunrise, Sorrento beach, Point Nepean and coastal bush trails Farnsworth track to London Bridge and Butlers Track.

Canoeing councillor: The mayor Cr Anthony Marsh will paddle a canoe in Port Phillip and Western Port for four days on a mission to protect the bays and the people who use it. Picture: Supplied

Mayor sets course for days on bays MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Anthony Marsh says he will be swapping chocolate eggs for saltwater this Easter paddling a canoe in Port Phillip and Western Port to raise money for emergency services.

Cr Marsh says his trip will “shine a light” on the need to preserve the shire’s beaches and maintain its coastal infrastructure, such as piers, jetties, and boat ramps.

The challenge will take four days, starting in Mount Eliza on 15 April (Good Friday) and finishing in Somerville on 18 April (Easter Monday).

On the first day, Cr Marsh has set his sights on paddling from the Canadian Bay Yacht Club to McCrae Yacht Club, where there will be a fundraiser barbeque.

Day two covers the stretch from McCrae to Portsea pier, where there will be a “celebration” to mark the end of his time in Port Phillip.

Skipping the peninsula’s ocean beaches, Cr Marsh will start his third day at Flinders Pier, finishing well inside Western Port at Crib Point, where there will be another barbecue to raise money.

Easter Monday, the final day, will see Cr Marsh depart Crib Point for Somerville, ending with a “big celebration” at Yaringa Boat Harbour.

The mayor’s charity paddle will raise money for emergency services, including the SES and the Coast Guard. It also presents an opportunity for local clubs and

groups to raise money along the route.

Sponsorships are available for business, ranging from $1000 (bronze) to $10,000 (platinum).

Cr Marsh said he was excited about the challenge and could not wait to four days paddling the coastlines of Port Phillip and Western Port.

As well as recognising “the amazing work” done by emergency services, his paddle “also provides a great opportunity to highlight the importance of looking after our coastlines and ensuring we get sufficient investment from the state government to preserve our beaches and maintain our piers, jetties and ramps”.

Public surgeries at private hospital Brodie Cowburn brodie@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON Private Hospital is being converted into a public surgery centre.

The state government announced the move last week. The hospital is expected to be operating as a public surgery centre sometime next year.

The state government hopes that by the time it is fully operational, the hospital will have the capacity to support up to 9000 public patients a year. Deputy Premier James Merlino said that the move would help clear up the backlog of surgeries building up in Victoria because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The pandemic has been really tough on everyone, but nothing matters more than the health of our loved ones. We’ve got a plan to make sure every Victorian family gets the care they deserve,” Mr Merlino said “This plan will see record numbers of Victorians get the surgeries they need, while making sure our frontline workforce is supported.”

Once converted, the Frankston Private Hospital will make COVID catch-up care its focus.

Two new theatres are expected to be constructed by early next year to help the hospital meet demand.

In a statement, Peninsula Health confirmed it is working on the project. “We will be working towards transforming Frankston Private Hospital for public surgery, with the capacity to support up to 9000 patients per year once fully operational

Last chance for cheaper energy upgrades!

in 2023. As such, the facility will be focused on COVID-19 catch up care, meaning that tens of thousands of patients throughout the next four years will get the treatment they need faster and closer to home,” Peninsula Health said.

“For Peninsula Health, this will result in expanding our surgical services, providing more options for those in our community awaiting surgery. We have a strong existing relationship with the Frankston Private team and look forward to building closer ties with Frankston Private across our growing surgical services group. We can also confirm that existing patients at both services will be unaffected by this announcement.”

Frankston Private Hospital was opened in 2017 after the almagamation of Frankston Private Day Surgery and Peninsula Oncology Centre. It is operated by Heathscope.

Frankston Private Hospital was contacted for comment.

Health Minister Martin Foley has called on the federal government to spend more on helping Victorian hospitals catch up on surgery delays.

“We’re making sure more Victorians get the care they need with a game-changing investment, while the Prime Minister once again fails to show up for Victorians and refuses to go 50/50 on health costs,” he said.

“We’ve seen COVID disrupt care and cancel surgeries for people right across the country, while our hardworking nurses and doctors have put everything into caring for the most critical patients.”

MARK Misquitta, Chau Phan and David Monaghan have been recognised for their innovation and commitment to Peninsula Health’s finance management.

Awards for health care innovation PENINSULA Health has won three prizes at the 2021 Healthcare Financial Management Association awards, which recognises talent and leadership in health organisation finance teams across Australia.

Financial planning and analysis manager at Peninsula Health and winner of the innovation award, David Monaghan, said that as finance increasingly moved to organisational decision-making on healthcare, the finance division had become more intimately involved in the day-to-day operations of the organisation.

“Our skill set is in analysing and interpreting large datasets to drive efficiencies in the service; to ensure hospitals and health services remain sustainable and operational now and into the future for our community,” Mr Monaghan said.

“It is our responsibility as the current custodians of the health service to hand it over to future generations in better shape than we inherited it.”

Runner-up finance leader of the year, financial controller Mark Misquitta, led three projects that created significant change at Peninsula Health, including bringing in a robotic automation tool, a new system for fraud checking, and a data analytics tool for auditing payroll transactions.

“To have the opportunity to be part of the financial stewardship, of such an important entity to the Victorian peninsula community, is something I am very grateful for,” he said.

Assistant business partner Chau Phan was joint winner of the rising star award.

Originally joining Peninsula Health as an accountant, Ms Phan developed

her skills as well as a new “budget cube” that allowed detailed data analysis to be easily reviewed. She also developed a profit and loss cube that turned static reports live – allowing data to be used in a multitude of ways.

Mr Monaghan, who developed a bed plan/national weighted activity unit calculator model to set activity targets and monitor activity performance in the service, said it was an example of how finance can use its broad skill-set to add value as a strategic partner to the service.

“It allows for a pro-active approach to managing bed demand and capacity, ensuring the community has access to services when it needs them and to a high standard of care,” he said.

The model is set to be used across the service in 2022.

THERE’S a new employment services provider coming to town, aiming to transform the lives of residents of the Mornington Peninsula, and they’re looking for readers of the Westernport News to join them.

Asuria has been helping people to reach their job and career goals for over 25 years, and from July, they’re going to be bringing their expertise to job seekers on the Mornington Peninsula.

To make that happen, they’re opening up their doors to people interested in taking up new roles as Job Coaches/Mentors, and support staff - helping people to find and stay in work that matters.

Job applicants don’t even need to have any experience to get started in the employment services industry, with training provided to help them become part of a new wave of first-class Job Coaches.

What makes a successful Asuria Job Coach/ Mentor is a combination of empathy, the ability to build relationships, a commitment to excellent customer service, and everyday office skills, with things like Microsoft Office, Word, or Excel.

More than anything though, Asuria is looking for people with a passion for helping others.

In exchange, the company promises ongoing support for its staff, combined with job security and the ability to reach their job and career dreams by helping others to reach theirs.

Cynthia Jennings, a Community Engagement Officer, says of her experience with Asuria: “At Asuria we’re all a part of something which we call Enterprising Heart, which really sums up what it’s like to be part of the company.”

When it comes to what being an Asuria Job Coach/Mentor, or Community Engagement Officer is all about, Cynthia says: “The way I help participants discover their dream roles is by really sitting down and getting to know them, building a rapport with them, and establishing trust and understanding.

“As Job Coaches, when we’re able to do that and really get to the heart of who people are, what they're interested in, and what they love to do, that’s when we get to make a real difference in people’s lives.”

On what people on the Mornington Peninsula can get out of a career with Asuria, Cynthia says: “You'll know when you’ve found your dream job, when you're able to have fun with your team, when you feel that support behind you, and when you turn up every day wanting to put your best foot forward for the people you’re there to help. I'm very lucky because I've been able to find that with Asuria.”

Job opportunities with Asuria are open now.

So if you’re interested in seeing if you have what it takes to be an Asurian, helping the people in your community to find and stay in work that matters, visit www.asuria.com.au/ careers.

Opportunities knock at The Briars Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au THE Briars property at Mount Martha could be opening up for glamping and new dining opportunities under a new plan to expand “experiences” at the heritage-listed property.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is calling for expressions of interest for restaurant/village and “glamping precincts” at the property, which already includes a historic homestead and gallery, visitor’s centre, wildlife sanctuary, wetlands, gardens, nursery, vineyard, cafe, kiosk and picnic areas.

The expressions of interest document states the “rare” business opportunities now opening up would come under The Briars master plan, which focusses on “protecting, enhancing and celebrating” the natural, cultural and heritage beauty of the property.

“What is already loved by our community will remain, and we will bring in some new, carefully considered experiences allowing more people to enjoy this space”, the document states.

The property housed award-winning restaurant Josephine’s until June 2020, when it controversially lost the tender to continue at the site.

Now, the council is hoping to revive tourism numbers with flash new dining experiences and by venturing into the increasingly popular glamping market.

Glamping makes up a considerable part of the hospitality industry and is an emerging trend among tourists

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s community facilities and precincts manager Rebecca Levy says The Briars is a “precious patch” of the peninsula where “glampers” could “fully immerse” and connect with the beauty of the sanctuary and Aboriginal culture. Picture: Gary Sissons where the idea of camping has moved from being an uncomfortable and cheap form of travel to a glamourous, outdoor experience.

According to market sources the global glamping market expected to reach $3.9 billion by 2027.

The Briars’ new glamping experience, called Sanctuary Dreaming, is

anticipated to include night walks, Indigenous stories, stargazing, night walks and bush food.

The shire’s marketing material states that it is also looking to “elevate the restaurant experience and influence the new village precinct”.

“A precinct where the focus will be on growing fresh food, serving up

inspired meals, educating visitors and giving back to our community.”

Chefs “will be cooking with homegrown fresh produce that will also be available to purchase at the market gate”.

The shire’s manager community facilities and precincts, Rebecca Levy, said The Briars was a “precious

patch” of the peninsula.

“It protects an area of indigenous vegetation, which is home to a range of native fauna, and enables visitors to learn about and connect to our environment through educational and informal experiences,” she said.

“Our master plan for The Briars includes initiatives to highlight the Aboriginal history of the site and of the peninsula as a whole, as well as our European history.

“We also aim for The Briars to support the peninsula’s role as a food bowl for Melbourne, through the demonstration of regenerative agricultural techniques and by growing food for our eateries and for those less advantaged.”

Ms Levy said glamping would provide guests with the opportunity “fully immerse in” and connect to the beauty of the sanctuary and Aboriginal culture.

“This experience is part of the sanctuary expansion, which will see an additional 40 hectares of indigenous vegetation planted and include additional walking trails, places for educational experiences and the introduction of locally endangered or extinct species,” she said.

“It will be off the grid, with a low footprint to minimise impact, and will highlight sustainable living.”

The shire estimates that full delivery of The Briars master plan will add 198 jobs and more than $29 million to the economy through increased numbers of visitors and flow-on benefits to businesses.

ELECTIONS 2022

Running on ‘hope’ for Flinders Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Voices of Mornington Peninsula-backed independent candidate Sarah Russell is putting “hope” at the centre of her campaign to win Flinders at the federal election.

Drs Russell has will have Hope Trucks, “fuelled by transparency and accountability” following her on the campaign trail.

“My hope is for action on climate, aged care, mental health and housing affordability, which is what people on the Mornington Peninsula have told me they are concerned about,” Ms Russell said.

“I also hope that Independents hold the balance of power in our next government, because they are critical to improving our democracy.

“Political processes have become disengaged from local communities. A strong independent candidate who genuinely represents the people of Flinders will make a big difference in our political system.”

Dr Russell said her decision to seek Voices endorsement followed “the failure of successive governments to respond meaningfully to the decades-long crisis in aged care prompted”.

Flinders has been held for the Liberals for the past 20 years by the retiring Health and Aged Care Minister, Greg Hunt.

Mr Hunt says he will be “working with [Liberal candidate Zoe McKenzie] day in and day out to help her succeed me as the member for Flinders” (“Thank you Flinders” advertisement The News 5/4/22).

Also standing for Flinders as an independent is Simon Holmes a Court’s Climate 200-backed Despi O’Connor.

Cr O’Connor, who has taken leave from Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor to contest the federal election, also sought to be the

SARAH Russell and her ‘hope’ truck.

Voices of Mornington Peninsula candidate but missed out to Claire Boardman.

Dr Russell says her “eyes popped out of my head” when she read a newspaper article announcing Cr O’Connor’s candidature as an independent “when the Voices process of endorsing our candidate for Flinders was still in progress”.

Dr Russell said she had urged Cr O’Connor to “apply to be the Voices’ candidate for Flinders”.

However, Cr O’Connor’s request that her involvement be kept a secret in case she was unsuccessful “put a spanner in the works”, as the Voices wanted a “town hall meeting” so its members could meet all candidates.

The chosen Voices candidate was Claire Boardman.

However, despite pleas from Dr Russell and warnings that she could appear to be having “a dummy spit” because she missed out, Cr O’Connor announced she would stand as an independent three days before the Voices candidate was made public.

Cr O’Connor’s teamdespi website states: “I am standing on four core values: Respect, integ-

rity, opportunity and consultation. I am standing because the people of Flinders need their concerns heard and represented in Canberra.”

Just weeks after her candidature was announced Ms Boardman withdrew from the contest, throwing the Voices campaign into disarray until it chose Dr Russell as its candidate (“Voices return to election race with second candidate” The News 15/2/22).

Other candidates announced for Flinders are Labor’s Surbhi Snowball, The Greens’ Colin Lane and One Nation’s Cynthia Marr.

“My career has been working as a nurse and a public health researcher – I’m not a career politician,” Dr Russell said last week. “I don’t aspire to be prime minister.”

She says she has always fought for “transparency and accountability from those in power” and sees the current political system as having “hit an all-time low”.

“Decisions made by government affect all of

us, every day of our lives,” Dr Russell said.

“That’s why we must be able to hold politicians and public servants accountable.”

Known for her advocacy work over the past six years in aged care, she has also been involved in many areas over the past 30 years – including climate action and mental health.

Dr Russell says she was invited to help develop the terms of reference for the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety but is “very disappointed that the Coalition government has implemented so few of [its] recommendations that would greatly improve care”.

For the past few weeks, with an election date still to be announced, yard signs for the Liberals’ candidate have been seen everywhere in Flinders,” she said.

“The Liberal Party receives millions of dollars from corporate donors, including those in fossil fuel industries. In contrast, I am entirely community supported and funded.”

Liberals line up for candidate’s launch RETIRING federal MP for Flinders Greg Hunt and other prominent Liberals have helped launch the campaign of Zoe McKenzie, who they hope will take Mr Hunt’s place after the Saturday 21 May federal election.

At the Sunday 3 April event were former long time Nepean MP Martin Dixon, former premier Ted Baillieu and state candidates Sam Groth (Nepean), Chris Crewther (Mornington) and Briony Hutton (Hastings).

Nepean is held by Labor’s Chris Brayne (who will be seeking re-election) and Mr Crewther hopes to replace sitting Liberal MP David Morris in Mornington and Ms Hutton wants to replace retiring Liberal MP Neale Burgess.

Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Paul Mercurio is Labor’s candidate for Hastings, while the ALP has yet to announce a candidate for Mornington.

At the launch at her Rosebud campaign office, Ms McKenzie said she had listened to residents and businesses to find out what they wanted for Flinders

in the future.

“That plan includes getting the Jetty Road [Rosebud] overpass done, upgrading our dangerous intersections, and improving our local infrastructure,” she said.

“I am working with our Nepean Liberal candidate, Sam Groth on the Rosebud Hospital rebuild, as well as on improving our sporting facilities for football, netball, basketball, and soccer.”

Ms McKenzie said she was also working to protect the beaches, the coastline and the peninsula’s green wedge status – a state political hot potato – while also saying she also wants to have the peninsula designated as regional to secure payroll tax discounts and essential infrastructure spending.

Mr Hunt said much of what makes the peninsula “special” was its environment, which he described a “world-class”.

“I know Zoe is passionate about protecting it for generations to come, particularly Arthur’s Seat, Western Port and Mount Martha beach.”

MURDOCH MYSTERIES

7TWO, 8.30pm

Tonight, the turn of the 20th centuryset detective drama begins its biggest batch of cases ever with 24 episodes.

SMOTHER

ABC TV, 8.30pm

Sometimes, you just need one element to grab your attention. Such is the case in this over-the-top thriller slash mystery slash whodunnit: the setting in a rugged, Irish seaside town is stunning. If you watched season one, you might be enthused to reenter the lives of the dysfunctional Ahern clan and their matriarch Val (Dervla Kirwan). This week, when Val finds “liar” written in lipstick on her mirror, she wisely suspects someone is after her.

MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA

TEN, 7.30pm

Combining the winning ingredients of 2020’s Back to Win with the classic MasterChef recipe, this Fans & Favourites season is set to satisfy even the fussiest diner. For the hit show’s 14th iteration, 12 past contestants and fan favourites – among them series winners Julie Goodwin, Sashi Cheliah and Billie McKay – will be challenged by 12 freshfaced foodies. The fancy fare served up has evolved considerably since inaugural winner Goodwin lifted the trophy in 2009 – how will her cuisine measure up against a new generation of chefs? Hosted by Melissa Leong (above) Andy Allen and Jock Zonfrillo.

Any building or renovation project undertaken over the last few years has surely felt like a Grand Designs episode for the homeowners behind the plans.

However, they pale in comparison when it comes to the Huxham Shard House, an ambitious and futuristic art installation of a home overlooking a picturesque valley in South Devon. Inspired by rocks that feature in the local countryside, property developer Joe and his wife Claire are building a carbonnegative residence with 34 enormous, angled zinc shards jutting out in all directions. Along the way, of course, they face usual mindboggling delays and budget woes.

Jobs for those with the right ‘political genes’ Again, we are provided with evidence that the Coalition government is using our money as though it was theirs. Pork barrelling is not uncommon on both sides, although the Coalition seems to have taken it to a new level of considerable excess.

Delaying calling an election so that it can flood the airways with ads extolling their “virtues” using taxpayers’ funds is another abuse.

Now we hear of several plum jobs at exorbitant salaries being awarded to those with the “correct” political genes.

Anyone who has been involved in interviewing and employing staff will know that it is easy to choose one candidate over another. The criteria are often flexible.

Should they retain office after the election they will have provided the right people with the right credentials to continue these practices. Should they lose government, then they have again the right people to frustrate and defer any work of an opposition. Political integrity at its lowest level I believe.

Ken Norris, McCrae

Integrity questioned Cr Despi O’Connor was elected to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council for a four-year term. Since early December 2021 she has been on extended leave while she campaigns [as an independent for Flinders] in the federal election.

So, we, the ratepayers in Briars Ward, have only two councillors to represent us.

If Cr O’Connor was a Victorian or federal public servant she would have to resign from her job to campaign. I don’t see why these rules should be different for local government employees.

I have spoken to Despi about my concerns, about her being on leave from council and that I believe she should have served her four-year term as shire councillor before seeking another career.

I am concerned about this lack of loyalty and responsibility to those who elected her for her role as councillor.

Is this the “integrity” she states on her campaign leaflet?

I am very disappointed.

Georgie Stubbs, Mount Martha

Councillors’ politics I believe the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, like many other local councils particularly in the Melbourne metropolitan area, are being taken over by politicians intent on lining their pockets with ratepayers’ money and pushing their ideological agendas.

Councillors used to be unpaid community-minded citizens who wanted to give back to their community and improve the amenity in their local areas of responsibility.

Now nothing gets fixed, such as potholes, overgrown trees and broken footpaths until you complain. Everything is outsourced, except administration, so the private contractors do the minimum required to fulfil their contract.

Prerequisites to becoming a councillor should include no affiliation with a political party, must have lived in their respective electoral zone for at least 10 years and must have been employed in a real job for at least 20years.

Get rid of the politicians and get back to genuine, community minded councillors.

William Fletcher, Somers

‘Climate’ missing Last week there appeared in our letterbox a flyer introducing Zoe McKenzie the Liberal candidate for Flinders in the

PAGE 16

Western Port News

13 April 2022

upcoming federal election.

The flyer was more interesting for what it did not contain than for what it did. There was no mention of climate change, one of the biggest if not the biggest challenge to our current way of life.

Impacts of unrestrained climate change include increasing frequency and devastation of natural disasters, floods and bush fires, and rising sea levels which is particularly relevant to our Flinders community with our extensive coast line and numerous coastal communities.

However, given the current Coalition government’s lamentable and inadequate response to the issue of climate change and its potential impact on the community of Flinders, perhaps it is not surprising that Ms McKenzie chose to ignore it.

Geoff Hilton, Mount Martha Editor: Geoff Hilton was the Labor MP for Western Port Province 2002-2006.

Political advertising The Liberal Party is certainly showing how desperate it is to salvage the seat of Flinders. Four and a half pages of ads in The News (5/4/22). Spurious claims about Labor taxes and how well they managed the COVID crisis abound.

Because the election had not been called at that stage, guess who paid for these ads? They are certainly showing how good with our money, because the ads are paid by the taxpayer. The rorting just keeps on keeping on.

Glenn Murphy, Hampton Park

MPs lack integrity The royal commissions into the Institutional abuse of children, misconduct in banking and aged care quality and safety have exposed the shocking behaviour of the institutions that are supposed to protect us.

The royal commissions highlight the fact that our political representatives have failed us.

A tertiary qualification, admirable corporate achievements and sporting prowess are admirable and typically arise from a need to achieve and a need for power. Too many of our politicians have become intoxicated with the need for power with a corresponding lack of integrity and empathy and lack of the courage to publicly challenge the party line. We need change.

Geoff Gowers, Merricks North

Time catches up Unlike the present Liberal prime minister, I am not a believer; however, I strongly believe in karma.

Sometimes, for me, it takes far too long for karma to manifest, however, when it does, be prepared for the devastation it can reap.

For instance, the current fallout of the prime ministers’ preselection in 2007.

I will be a keen observer of the possible implications, if any, this will have on the forthcoming federal election.

Denise Hassett, Mount Martha

Analysis needed Esso wants to use “the latest advanced technology“ to burn ethane and generate electricity at Long Island Point, Hastings (“Esso generators good for the environment” Letters 30/3/22).

Wouldn’t the latest technology involve using renewable energy rather than creating more carbon emissions?

This ethane project appears to transfer greenhouse gas emissions from Altona to the Mornington Peninsula.

How would this Esso project “reduce environmental impacts” on the penin-

sula? I hope EPA Victoria and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council analyse this Esso project in great detail and identify all the risks.

Maybe an environment effects statement (EES), as required for the flawed AGL gas import project, should be considered.

Dale Stohr, Crib Point

going to Mildura, Bendigo, Dubbo? No one will buy such a truck to carry fertiliser from Canberra and Spring Street to Nar Nar Goon, which is up Upwey way, because there is no hydrogen there and never will be; not this side of the Earth beginning its natural cooling down cycle again.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Budget benefits

Home alone

Australian Treasurer Josh Frydenberg’s latest budget has to be given the thumbs up and our state and local governments should now follow his economic lead.

Cutting fuel taxes and investing more in aged care, pharmaceutical outlets, apprenticeships, and our health centres, along with tax cuts for workers and assistance to pensioners and Centrelink beneficiaries, are all needed at this time.

The biggest risk to the budget and the economy in future will be the response from our Victorian and local governments. If [Premier] Daniel Andrew’s and municipal councils don’t follow the Morrison government ‘s example and start putting up their own taxes and rates then the full potential of Josh Frydenberg’s economic benefits will be compromised.

Now would also be a good time to reduce state stamp duty on all property transactions and sales. Now would also be a good time to suspend all rates and taxes imposed by Victorian local governments for the next 12 months.

John Glazebrook, Rye

My home help has just been cancelled again.

Several friends are in the same boat.

What is going on? There appears to have been no transition planning as Mornington Peninsula Shire Council exits such support.

Is there are priority planning on the basis of need? Even a rotation?

So much for being supported to stay in my home. I have had five hours all year.

What I am timetabled for, on a supposedly fortnightly basis, is pretty basic at the best of times.

I don’t blame the staff as they have no guarantee of future jobs and are forced to leave a rapidly sinking ship.

I have severe dangerous spinal issues which include a fusion and five prolapsed disks, constant pain and post cancer surgery problems. I am unable to do simple things like changing my bed.

I can cope with the dirt, but sleeping in an unchanged bed, particularly over a hot summer? Pffft.

Barb Rimington, Balnarring

‘Priority’ none

I am very disappointed with people who have no patience with senior citizens when we need help with new technology. They rattle off information at 100 miles an hour and expect you to absorb it all in five minutes.

“Read the instruction manual”, they say.

Good luck with that. These manuals are not explicit enough and sometimes not enough diagrams.

Thankfully, I grew up in an era when everyone helped each other. We can’t all be proficient at everything. With good management and a bit of luck, you might be a senior citizen one day too.

Until then, unless you have walked several miles in our shoes, surely you can learn some patience and respect.

We are not stupid.

Shirley Higgins, Mornington

In the same edition of The News that carried my letter about Mornington Peninsula Shire advocacy priorities (“Vision 2040 missing from shire’s priorities list”) there was an article about the proposal for social/affordable housing in Capel Sound (“Neighbours fear of ‘ghetto-like’ housing” The News 5/4/22).

In the article the mayor [Cr Anthony Marsh] was reported as saying that the primary responsibility for social housing rests with the state government. He goes on to say that the council will continue to advocate to ensure a proper investment is made in social and affordable housing across the peninsula.

I have to assume from its absence in the recently adopted advocacy priority list that this issue is not high priority.

What message does it send to the state government and local residents when this issue does not make it into the shire’s top six advocacy priorities?

Nigel Munro-Smith, Mount Eliza

Priorities an exercise The reason that Vision 2040 is missing from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s priorities is that it was just another political feel good exercise to make us think that they cared and would do something about what they found out (“Vision 2040 missing from shire’s priorities list” Letters 5/4/22).

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Hydrogen highway I noticed that state and federal governments are to build a “hydrogen highway”, Adelaide to Brisbane, for trucks powered by zeroemissions hydrogen. Where are they going to get the hydrogen? From our brown coal, of course.

After this year’s federal and Victorian elections you can expect an announcement that the Japanese brown coal-to-hydrogen trial will be expanded to full industrial scale, with specialised ships taking it from Hastings to Japan (“Fire aboard hydrogen ship” The News 5/4/22).

We must have income from selling resources - we have little else. Presumably we will be able to buy a little of this hydrogen manufactured in the Latrobe Valley.

CO2? Yes, there will be massive emissions, far more than all of the brown coal-fuelled power stations past and present put together.

The Japanese, or us, will pay a carbon credit tax to make the product green, and proceed.

The important thing is that no coal will be burnt.

Where are we going to get a fleet of hydrogen-fuelled trucks dedicated to only the Adelaide-Brisbane highway, never capable of

Trouble with tech

Help appreciated My heartfelt thanks to the passers-by who took care of me after I tripped and fell on the zebra-crossing near Ritchies, Mount Eliza on the morning of Thursday 31 March.

Each of us had our own reasons for being there at that moment in time yet there seemed to be a common purpose which was to ensure my well-being and give me constant reassurance pending the arrival of the ambulance. How much I appreciated that.

Thank you also to the ambulance service and to others who attended to disrupted appointments and disrupted traffic flow. Community in action.

“The kindness of strangers is ours to give and take; we shape the world with each embrace” (Don George, travel writer and editor).

Jennifer Beck, Melbourne

Pick up dog poo How about caring for the environment, the area round where we love to live and exercise? Dog owners who enjoy a nice walk around their neighbourhood and who have no regard for others should start being more responsible for their dogs defecating everywhere not even caring if it’s in the middle of a path.

What cost a roll of dog poo bags? $2? Is it too embarrassing to pick up after the crime or are they just using the neighbourhood instead of their own backyards to mess up?

On my 300 metre walk to the village shops in Balnarring I passed eight dog droppings.

It’s time Mornington Peninsula Shire Council came up with an action plan to stop this horrible behaviour and keep our beautiful Balnarring clean and fresh and inviting to enjoy.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Novelty night to benefit motor ambulance fund Compiled by Cameron McCullough FLINDERS Naval Depot was under a new command on Tuesday evening, 4th April, and it was a command which was eagerly obeyed.

It was still the call of service, and in the service of charity.

The response of the Depot was unanimous. With a view to helping the fund to provide a motor ambulance for the Mornington Peninsula – a worthy object originated in Bittern – Mrs. Miller, wife of Captain Miller, Officer-Commanding Flinders Naval Depot, organised a novelty night on the above date.

Those attending on the night of the celebrations and looking upon the scene brilliantly set would form only a hazy idea of the work involved in making this result possible.

The huge Drill Hall was gaily partitioned off with a mass of flags, indicating a raid on the stores of the Signal Boatswain.

The largest portion of the Drill Hall was reserved for dancing and the spectators of the dance, the second for the card playing, and the third where the refreshments were stored and subsequently served.

Everything humanly possible was thought of and arranged for the success of the evening, and given the favour of good weather, the attendance would have been such as to make every local movement desirous of seeking financial assistance under similar fair auspices.

And a fine night was the one thing denied the organiser.

The morning broke cool and clear.

gales, reaching a velocity of 50 miles an hour, and blew tons of dust in all directions.

Later in the afternoon the clouds became lowering, and there was every prospect of a heavy downpour.

Thoughts of the shocking roads into the Depot after heavy rains no doubt deterred scores of district people from taking advantage of this fine outing, and the storm on Westernport was so severe that for the crowd of visitors expected from Cowes to have ventured on the turbulent waters of the bay would have been, to court sure disaster.

Thus from within the immediate district a crowd assembled sufficient to comfortably fill the Drill Hall for tile dancing and the card playing, and the programme went through merrily without a hitch.

Several novelties were introduced into the dancing, a conspicuous success being the Monte Carlo dances.

The ladies who were fortunate to be standing on the number indicated by the wheel of fortune, after the music had stopped, each received a halfpound box of chocolates.

There were two Monte Carlo dances, and four ½lb. boxes of chocolates were distributed during each dance, so that, apart from the pleasure of the dancing, eight of the ladies present received something to pleasantly remind them afterwards of the pleasure of the evening, if this was necessary.

Another great success was the balloon dance. There were prizes to the three winning couples in this dance, and the survival of the winners during the bursting of the remaining balloons

for the other events of the evening were all gifts, indicating that the proper spirit actuated everyone in responding to the invitation of Mrs. Miller to assist in making the evening the enjoyable one that it turned out to be.

The Cookery School of the Depot, led by Mr. Arnold, Warrant Instructor of Cookery, R.A.N. also achieved a remarkable success in their provision of the supper said the two novelty cakes turned out by them for the Dutch auction.

One, made up in the form of a motor ambulance, with nurse in attendance, was very appropriate to the evening, and the price ran up quickly before the cake became the property of Mr. F. Stacey, junr., of Bittern.

By a remarkable coincidence, the second cake, in the form of a yule log went to Mr. Ron. Stacey.

The presentation bag of sugar was won by Mr. A. Harper, of Crib Point.

The gross takings amounted to approximately £40, and over £30 should be clear profit for the Motor Ambulance Fund.

The organiser of the Motor Ambulance Fund, Mr. J. Jack, was present, and expressed himself as extremely pleased at the enthusiasm with which the movement was assisted at the Naval Depot, which is all the more appreciated as the Depot itself is well equipped in this direction, and cannot hope to benefit by the ambulance the same as the people scattered over the wide area of country known as the Mornington Peninisula.

Mr. Jack is quite confident that the district will respond, and that the mo-

tor ambulance will be established in due course. *** THE death took place at Frankston on Tuesday afternoon last, of Mr Norman Leslie McDonald, the only son of Mr and Mrs McDonald.

The sad event while not unexpected comes as a great blow to the family who are very old and respected residents of the district, and very sincere sympathy is felt for them in their sad bereavement.

Deceased who was 22 years of age, had been ailing for some time, but it was only within the last few weeks that he took to bed.

Dr C. Maxwell was in attendance, but it soon became apparent that his case was not one that would yield to medical science and the end came as stated.

Norman was a general favorite with all who knew him, and he will be mourned by a very large circle of friends.

As far as his health would permit he entered enthusiastically in the social life of the town, was a member of the Football Club committee, and acted as financial secretary to the Frankston Caledonian Society.

The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, and was largely attended.

Mr W. Watkins, Presbyterian Minister, conducted the burial service, and the mortuary arrangements were carried out by Mr H. Gamble. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 14 April 1922

worn by the ladies was the cause of much merriment.

Incidentally, each balloon cost 6d., and thus was raised several extra shillings for the funds.

The dancing was carried out under the direction of Mr. Greening Gunner, R.N., and the music was, as, usual, of a high order.

The Depot Band, under Bandmaster Able-Seaman McCarthy, rendered good service in this direction, and Messrs. Graham and Williamson, of the Ship’s Company, who have proved their worth as pianists on many occasions, were also available, and played for several of the dances in their usual capable manner.

The euchre tournament, under the able supervision of the captain’s secretary, Mr. Pearce, Commissioned Writer. R.A.N., attracted fourteen tables of players, and the twenty tables were ultimately filled.

Much enjoyment was derived from the tournament. The winner of the lady’s prize, a silver bread fork, was Mrs. Butler, the wife of a member of the ship’s company living at Crib Point; and the gentleman’s’ prize, a silver nut cracker, was annexed by Mr. L. H. Lasseter, employed on the Depot by the Works and Railways Department.

The playing for the gentleman’s prize was very keen, four being equal for first place, and having to play off.

The lady’s booby prize, a wooden ladle, was taken by Mrs. W. H. Wilson; and the gentleman’s booby prize

by Stoker Murdock, of the ship’s company.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Why Frankston Urgently Needs a Thirty Metre Statue on Olivers Hill

By Stuart McCullough HEROES should be celebrated. They should be lauded, worshipped and generally adored, close up as well as from afar. If they’re not already on a pedestal, then one should be provided to them pronto. Because heroes, I feel, are wonderful. Their achievements put a ‘spring’ into a life of otherwise flatfooted drudgery; they fill our lungs with breath so that we can proclaim their general magnificence.

Frankston has produced it’s fair share of heroes. Stanley Melbourne Bruce, who was the eighth Prime Minister of this country until, in a somewhat unfortunate twist, he became the first sitting PM to lose his seat at an election.

Stanley then went on to a productive career as a bouncer at the 21st Century Dance Club on Thursdays to Sundays.

Frankston also produced the fabulously named Sir Harold W. Clapp who ran the railways for nearly twenty years and introduced mind-blowing innovations to locomotive transport such as air-conditioned carriages. I, for one, am grateful.

But while the city has produced a laudable crop of political and locomotive heavyweights, it’s the arts where it really comes into its own. The King of Australian television, Graham Kennedy, chose to live in Frankston. He could have lived anywhere, but chose here. Perhaps he’d got wind of the crystal light display at the Frankston cinema and simply had to see it for himself. Joan Lindsey – author of Picnic At Hanging Rock – also lived in Frankston; although rumours that the first draft was based at Arthur’s Seat have never been confirmed.

The exceptional Toni Watson (better

known as ‘Tones and I’) who achieved the extraordinary by topping the charts in almost every country on earth but, for reasons that will never be fully understood, was given the ‘Meat Loaf

slot’ at the AFL Grand Final, is also from Frankston. The list of local heroes is almost endless. And yet, some of the most amazing legends ever produced by this fair city have failed to get

the recognition they so richly deserve. I speak, of course, of Johnny Logan.

I was going to say ‘for those unfamiliar with his work’ but, I suspect, there’s no one who’d fit that description. Whether you’re willing to admit it or not, Johnny Logan is buried deep inside your subconscious, like a repressed traumatic memory, ready to emerge at the least opportune moment.

If the name ‘Johnny Logan’ doesn’t ring a bell of any kind, then it’s only fair I disclose that he’s also known by another name. Specifically, he’s also known as ‘Mr. Eurovision.’

On the off chance you’ve been living in the wilderness for the past seventy odd years, Eurovision is ostensibly a songwriting competition that doubles as a test of endurance. Essentially, it’s a chance for European nations to produce a piece execrable easy listening music, generally performed by someone dressed like a total lunatic and to gang up on whoever England decides to send. (They never get any votes. It’s sort of cruel, actually.)

Into this musical minefield, filled with the wreckage of power ballads gone wrong and continental technovomit, strode Johnny Logan like an absolute colossus. How, you might ask, does someone from Frankston end up at Eurovision? Simple. Johnny Logan was born in Frankston whilst his Irish parents were out here on tour and before you could say ‘chrome gnome’, he was away back to Ireland.

Johnny competed in 1980, performing the song ‘What’s Another Year?’ with such power that, along with his oversized lapels, it crushed all who dared stand in his way. So powerful, in fact, that he didn’t even bother get-

ting up from his bar stool until about the three minute mark; just after a saxophone solo so exquisitely tasteful that the instrument itself may as well have been wearing a tuxedo. A win at Eurovision is an extraordinary feat, far beyond the Nobel Peace Prize but perhaps slightly short of earning the Coach’s encouragement award at the Tyabb Under-9s Junior Football Club.

But he didn’t stop there.

In 1984, Johnny Logan wrote a song that someone else performed that came second. In 1987, dressed head to toe in white like some intergalactic goal umpire, Johnny Logan performed his signature hit ‘Hold Me Now’, producing one of the most dramatic moments in Eurovision history, when he crouched down, knees bent, voice dripping with emotion as he strained for the high notes. An unstoppable force, he once again took out the title. You’d think that’d be enough.

Despite this, there’s nothing to celebrate the achievements of Mr. Eurovision. Not a plaque, nor a street sign. Zip. It’s no way to treat a hero. It’s time to do something about this appalling state of affairs. The campaign starts here – to build a monument to Johnny Logan.

Modelled on the ‘Christ the Redeemer’ statue overlooking Rio de Janeiro, giant Johnny Logan will sit astride Oliver’s Hill, head to toe in white and knees bent. Thirty metres of concrete Eurovision magnificence will stare out across the bay. It’ll be awesome. Sure, it’ll be incredibly expensive, but you can’t put a price on inspiration. Don’t bother trying to talk me out of it. To paraphrase Mr. Eurovision himself, you couldn’t hold me (back) now if you tried. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Pines stake their claim on 2022, Tyabb cop a thrashing MPNFL

By Brodie Cowburn

DIVISION ONE

PINES have fired a warning shot to the rest of the competition with a thumping win over Edithvale-Aspendale.

Pines kicked 22 goals for the day on Edithvale-Aspendale’s home turf. Their excellent showing in front of goal secured them a 10.11 (71) to 22.17 (149) win.

Sorrento also showed good goalkicking form on Saturday, scoring 20 majors to put away Frankston Bombers.

The Bombers did their best to stay within reach of the Sharks, but they were just too good. Sorrento won in front of their home crowd 20.13 (133) to 13.11 (89).

Things were much closer at Emil Madsen Reserve with Mt Eliza taking on Bonbeach.

Mt Eliza had plenty of opportunities in front of goal, but some wayward goalkicking nearly cost them.

In the end it was Mt Eliza who managed to come out on top, winning 11.16 (82) to 10.6 (66).

Jordan Rouse booted three goals for the Redlegs.

In the round’s other games, Dromana defeated Frankston YCW and Red Hill demolished Rosebud.

DIVISION TWO

Tigers tame the Stonecats: Dromana had an easy win over Frankston YCW, walking away 26 point victors. Picture: Craig Barrett

PEARCEDALE have enjoyed a 2-0 start to 2022 after recording a massive 104 point win on Saturday.

Pearcedale played host to Tyabb. The contest was never in doubt, with Pearcedale putting on a dominant display.

After a torrid afternoon for the Yabbies, they eventually fell to defeat 26.10 (166) to 8.14 (62).

Cruiz West was Pearcedale’s best. He kicked four goals to add to his three from last Sunday.

Langwarrin have also got their season off to an unbeaten start. They notched up their second win of the year by beating Chelsea on Saturday.

Langwarrin defended brilliantly all day. They conceded just three goals.

The Kangaroos won the match by 67 points - 13.11 (89) to 3.4 (22).

Things were more competitive at Hastings on Saturday, as the Blues took on Crib Point.

Just 13 points separated the two sides at the final siren. Hastings secured the win on their home ground 14.7 (91) to 11.12 (78).

Hastings’ Rhys Wilkinson was the difference on the day. He kicked four goals. Brayde Bosman contributed three majors to the total.

In other matchups Devon Meadows thumped Karingal, Somerville defeated Seaford, and Mornington got the better of Rye.

Debbie Waymouth back in the saddle HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou PICNIC legend Debbie Waymouth is set to have her first ride back at Balnarring on Saturday.

The determined 66-year-old jock has gradually increased her workload after suffering a serious fall at Woolamai in January.

Waymouth, showing her trademark toughness, makes her return after recovering from nine broken ribs, a fractured sternum, collapsed lung, a hematothrorax (blood on her chest) as well as having had surgery to insert plates into her cheekbone and jaw following the fall.

Despite initial doubt about whether she’d return to riding, Waymouth has continued to exceed everyone’s expectations. She returned to riding trackwork last month and has competed in several jumpouts leading up to Saturday’s meeting.

Waymouth will have her first ride back for her daughter, Bec, who she rides almost exclusively for these

days.

“She’s fit, healthy and well. Just to see her back out there and competing is amazing in itself,” Bec Waymouth said. “Anything on top of that would come as a bonus.”

Debbie rode her first winner as a 17-year-old and has competed in the last 48 straight seasons at the picnics.

Bec says her mum’s determination to get back to race-riding shows just how much love she has for the horses and the sport as a whole.

“She loves it, loves the sport and loves the horses,” she said.

“It’s something we are all really looking forward to and it’s just a credit to her determination and resilience to get back to this stage and proves again the love she has for these horses.”

Hine hat-trick, Strikers still top SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie JOSH Hine’s hat-trick and Peninsula Strikers’ unblemished record were highlights of local State League fixtures last weekend.

In State 1 Mornington got its promotion chase back on track with a 4-1 home win over Bentleigh United Cobras on Friday night.

Assistant coach Nathan Peel resigned after the previous week’s 2-0 reversal against Casey Comets so it was important for the local club to bounce back immediately.

Hine scored a second-half hat-trick and is one of the leading contenders for the league’s Golden Boot honours while John Maclean was Mornington’s other scorer.

Strikers kept their faultless State 2 record intact with a fourth straight win, this time a 2-0 success over Knox City at Ballam Park on Saturday night.

Donn Delaney’s side sits on top of the league and has surprised many observers as it has overhauled its playing personnel in the off-season and has one of the youngest squads in the competition.

Huss Chehimi put Strikers ahead in the 29th minute after Cooper Andrews’ close ball skills left opponents in his wake before he delivered a through ball from inside Strikers’ half.

Chehimi ran onto it and slotted the ball past Knox keeper Mustafa Zahir.

In the 62nd minute Callum Bradbury was cautioned twice within a few seconds and Strikers were reduced to 10 players.

But that didn’t deter them and they went further ahead shortly after.

Darcy Purcell won the ball at the back then combined with Abbas Yaqobi before crossing to the back post.

Jai Power scuffed his shot but Andrews was on hand to slam the ball home.

Skye United lost 1-0 to Doncaster Rovers at Skye Recreation Reserve last weekend.

The decisive moment came in the 93rd minute when a free-kick struck Skye defender Alex Van Heerwarden and was deflected into the top corner.

In State 3 Frankston Pines came roaring back from indifferent recent form with a convincing 4-0 away win over Noble Park United.

Given that Pines were without central defender Ryan Ratcliffe, striker Liam Baxter (both injured) and central midfielder Thomas Dunn (in Fiji for family reasons) the win was full of merit against an unbeaten opponent.

Ratcliffe and Baxter are expected to train this week while Dunn returns to Melbourne in time for Pines’ round 6 away game against Bayside

Argonauts.

On Saturday Pines scored twice in each half, the first from a quickly taken Dylan Waugh throw-in from the left in the 30th minute and a fine low strike from Aaran Currie.

The home side’s cause wasn’t helped four minutes later when Nikola Popetrov’s poor goalkick was met first time by Tom Hawkins who headed over a flat-footed defence to Dylan Waugh whose trusty left foot made no mistake.

Pines put the contest out of reach in the 56th minute but Currie’s penalty was saved before Hawkins tucked away the rebound to make it 3-0.

Substitute Chris Ojolo pounced on a defensive blunder in injury time then calmly slotted the ball in from close range before setting off on an elaborate goal celebration.

In State 3 Somerville’s derby fortunes took a turn for the worse when it went down 3-0 to Carlo Melino’s Chelsea at Tyabb Central Reserve on Saturday.

Piers Brelsford pounced on a goalmouth scramble in the 40th minute to give the visitors a 1-0 lead at the interval.

There was nothing scrappy about Brelsford’s second in the 65th minute courtesy of an excellent long-range strike that eluded Somerville keeper Sam Beadle.

Cramp forced Brelsford off in the 80th minute but his replacement Tom Kouroulis who usually plays at the back controlled Daniel Vella’s cross from the right in the 86th minute and lifted the ball over Beadle to complete the scoreline.

“We played really well in both halves – very different to our last match against Endeavour,” Melino said.

“I was really proud of the boys and this was a great bounce back win for us and we kept a clean sheet.”

The other State 4 clash saw Baxter go down 2-0 at home to league leader Dandenong South.

An early goal in both halves settled this and Baxter had nothing to show for its efforts especially in the second half.

In State 5 Mount Martha staged a remarkable fightback to overturn a three-goal deficit only to lose a seven-goal thriller against Hampton Park United.

The match was played at North Seaford Reserve while Civic Reserve remains unavailable and when the scoreline was 2-0 to Hampton Park after five minutes a whitewash was looming.

Mount Martha had no answer to former Pines striker Chris L’Enclume who did as he pleased inside the attacking third.

L’Enclume made it 1-0 after two minutes when he broke onto a long ball and chested it down then unleashed a low drive that gave Mount Martha keeper Derren Elliott no chance.

Four minutes later Elliott had barely recovered when beaten by L’Enclume again.

This time the powerful striker rifled a superbly struck low drive inside the far post to make it 2-0.

L’Enclume completed his hat-trick in the 28th minute when he combined with Sebastian Castano via a slick one-two before unleashing a sweetly struck low shot that left Elliott helpless.

Slowly and methodically Mount Martha got back into the contest and captain Ethan Sanderson should have done better when heading over a Mitch Hawkins chip from the right in the 25th minute.

When Mount Martha went long and over the top to exploit Sanderson’s pace Hampton Park started to look fragile and so it proved in the 40th minute when Sanderson broke through and finished with aplomb.

Ten minutes into the second half it was 3-2 thanks to an outrageous Hawkins curler from wide left that struck the inside of the far post then went in.

Substitute Adam Martin put Sanderson through in the 79th minute and he had no problem striking the ball truly past advancing Hampton Park keeper Jack Lindsay.

It was 3-3 and as improbable as this scoreline seemed early in the contest it was Mount Martha that now looked the likely winner.

That was until it failed to deal with a long throw in the 85th minute allowing Hampton Park substitute Dylan Thomas to angle the ball first time through a group of players and inside the near post for the winner.
