‘Holistic’ way to avoid kangaroo kill is sought Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Thankful for support: A TYABB family whose world “fell apart” when their son was diagnosed with cancer says support from their school was the “shining light” that helped them through. Jessica Reid said St Joseph’s in Crib Point have provided exceptional support while her son, Miller, is being treated for a rare cancer of the spinal cord at Monash Children’s Hospital. “Support helps family rebuild” Page 6

THE proposed killing of a large mob of kangaroos at a Cape Schanck property may have been averted after a “holistic solution” between the property manager and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council was thrashed out last week. The manager, who asked not to be named, said he had met with Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO John Baker at the Patterson Road property and they had agreed on a one or two month moratorium on the cull. Mr Baker told councillors at last week’s meeting there was an “undertaking on the table to suspend the culling for up to eight weeks while alternative measures” other than killing the kangaroos were found. This would entail the parties working out a plan to release the kangaroos without them posing a threat to the viability of the manager’s or neighbouring properties (“Death threats over kangaroo cull” The News 5/10/21). Councillors later backed a plan by Cr David Gill and seconded by Cr Anthony Marsh to urge the state government to sus-pend all permits to kill native wildlife – particularly threatened species – pending a review of their “existing and future viability”. It also voted to assist the property manager in his efforts to humanely remove the kangaroos and to help with surveillance to protect boundary fencing. The council will “officially express concern” to the government over the animals’ welfare and “urgently request the

suspension of any permit to kill the estimated 600 kangaroos”. It will ask for an investigation into the culling and harvesting system managed by the Department of Environment, Lands, Water and Planning that “appears to allow granting of some types of permits without full and proper consideration as required by the Wildlife Act 1975”. This includes clauses referring to impeding the of movement and the ongoing viability of native species, such as kangaroos. The manager, who said he had received “death threats over social media” when word of the proposed culling emerged, said: “If I released them now, they would simply go to other farms and that would not be a solution to the problem. “The reality is that to find a solution it must be holistic and that has not happened until now. “The situation now is a catalyst to finding an ongoing solution to the problem.” The manager said animal activists were cutting wire fences at his and neighbouring farms, but this had the effect of letting more kangaroos onto the properties rather than encouraging them to return to the Greens Bush National Park. He said police and DELWP “know the fence cutting is a huge problem”. The manager said the “holistic solution” he and Mr Baker formulated meant the “misguided and ill-informed individuals who cut the fences” were “now stakeholders of the problem”. “I can only operate inside the law,” he said.

Dolphins: steer clear Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au POLICE have been given details of a jet-ski rider using a mobile to record chasing down a dolphin in the bay off Mornington. Unknown to the jet -ski rider one of the Dolphin Research Institute’s dolphin watchers was watching from the cliffs off the Esplanade near the Royal Hotel. The volunteer took photos of the jetski both in the water and later when it was loaded on a trailer at the Fishermans Beach boat ramp. The incident happened about 5.15pm on Tuesday 28 September. Regulations stipulate that jet-skis must stay at least 300 metres away from dolphins. The DRI volunteer said the dolphin was part of a pod regularly recorded off beaches between Olivers Hill, Frankston and McCrae. “They are a precious group which occasionally have calves with them,” the volunteer said. “I felt angry seeing the offender chasing down one dolphin in particular. Large splashes from the dolphin would indicate it was moving quickly as it tried to escape. “At one stage the dolphin disappeared, the offender stopping and looking about to then take off at speed again when he spotted the dolphin. “He was standing up, hand outstretched, taking photos or videos, almost running over the dolphin.” After the jet-ski moved towards the boat ramp the dolphins continued moving out to deeper water.

“Were they feeding before he appeared? Do they have calves? These intelligent creatures were certainly stressed at being run down by the fastmoving jet-ski. This type of harassment may cause this dolphin pod to move on. “This is not an isolated incident. Surely, it’s time we all do our best to ensure the safety of our dolphins. What a sad day it would be if they left the area.” DRI executive director Jeff Weir said the dolphin pictured in front of the jet ski was part “of a small, unique community that resides between Oliver's Hill [Frankston] and Dromana”. “Pursuing dolphins in or on vessels can cause disruption to important natural behaviours such as feeding, socialising, nursing and mating and could have long-lasting effects,” Mr Weir said. “The common dolphin community

in this area are unique globally and are particularly vulnerable to disturbance given their small home range. “Our situation in Port Phillip is quite remarkable with common dolphins, a normally oceanic species, coming to live in our bay with the bottlenose dolphins. It's remarkable because resident dolphins in many places globally, and in Australia, are struggling to survive in their polluted coastal environments. We must protect what we have.” Mr Weir said members of the public were “vigilant in keeping records and reporting concerns” when they see dolphins being disturbed. The DRI has introduced a Dolphin Distancing program to encourage boat and jet ski owners to follow the rules. Details: dolphionresearch.org.au Reports of dolphins being harassed can be made to DELWP on 136 186 or to Crimestoppers.

Lining up for mayoral stakes Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors elect a new mayor early in November and lobbying for votes is already reportedly underway. The prestigious $100,000 plus position comes with a car - the mayor mobile, an electric BMW hatch - as well as the demands of representing the shire in different forums and publicly. While councillors usually keep their intentions inside the tent, that does not mean that other “insiders” cannot speculate. Council officers are running a book on the likelihood of who will be the next mayor and who will be that person’s deputy. Betting odds late last week show the smart money is on what is a three-horse mayoral race led by Cr Sarah Race (now deputy mayor), followed by current mayor Cr Despi O’Connor and Cr Anthony Marsh. Councillors not represented in the early betting

for either mayor or deputy are Antonella Celi, Steve Holland, David Gill, Kerri McCafferty, Susan Bissinger and Debra Mar. Betting odds last week saw the current deputy Cr Race as being the 2:1 favourite with Cr Lisa Dixon as deputy. The current mayor, Cr O’Connor, is sitting at 4:1, retaining the status quo with Cr Race continuing as her deputy. The next most highly-fancied combination, at 5:1, is Cr Marsh being elected mayor with Cr Paul Mercurio as deputy. Slightly further down the field at 6:1, in a reversal of their current positions, is Cr Race as mayor with Cr O’Connor as her deputy. Other combinations are Cr Race as mayor with Cr Marsh deputy, 7:1; Cr O’Connor mayor and Cr Marsh deputy, 8:1; and Cr Marsh as mayor with Cr Race deputy, 10:1. Trailing the field is the 20:1 combination of Cr Race in the top job and Cr Marsh as her deputy.

DESPITE the rapid rise in positive COVID-19 cases on the Mornington Peninsula the Department of Health will now only publicise sites classified tier 1. A tier 1 site is where a confirmed case has attended and where there is a high risk of transmission recurring. The decision means there is no easy access to detailed information on where and when all positive cases were detected, or where they visited and at what times. Thirteen cases were detected in the five days to Sunday (10 October) by staff at Rosebud Respiratory Clinic. The total number on the peninsula jumped to 300, of which 86 were classified as active. Nepean MP Chris Brayne said a range of factors was used to determine the classification of a tier 1 exposure site, including its “environment” and length of time a positive case was there. “The health department continues to conduct contact tracing and publish high risk sites online, but not all exposure sites meet these criteria,” he said. Mr Brayne said the number of exposure sites was “only going to continue to grow”. “With 1300 cases daily [now up to 1900], clearly the best defence is by getting vaccinated,” he said. “Fortunately, most of our senior population on the peninsula have been vaccinated … and now we must work to see the younger cohort get vaccinated too.” Rosebud Respiratory Clinic’s Dr Sally Shaw agreed with Mr Brayne that “overwhelmed con-

tact tracers were simply not able to put up every exposure site” on the peninsula. “Consequently, there are a lot of exposure sites that have not been alerted,” she said. “It is impossible now and will get even worse for contact tracers to be able to identify every exposure site,” she said. “With this in mind it is more important than ever that people get tested. If they have spent any time with a friend or family member who is unwell, they should get tested. “Anyone who has any symptoms should get tested and anyone who believes they may have been in an exposure spot should get tested. “We had seven positive cases by midday today [Saturday] and tested more than 300 people. “We have increased our staff and our capacity to be able to anticipate the need in the coming months for patients to have an answer as to how they can protect their loved ones by avoiding them if they are positive, or how they can get a diagnosis for their symptoms.” Rosebud Respiratory Clinic is at 1079 Point Nepean Road, Rosebud. Testing is available Monday to Friday 8am-7pm and weekends 9am5pm. Call 0436 033 507. To book for COVID-19 testing or vaccinations: peninsulavaccinationcentre.com or call 0436 033 507. Other testing sites are Rosebud Hospital in Eleanora House; Frankston Hospital, corner Hastings Road and Yuille Street, Frankston; and Atticus Health Medical Clinic Hastings where testing is done in the clinic car park by appointment only. Testing is free if done through a public health centre or GP offering bulk billing.

Get prepared for some festive cheer THE Red Hill and Main Ridge communities are planning a big festive season this year, and everyone can be involved. Red Hill Community Christmas is a collaboration between Red Hill District Lions Club, Red Hill Gardening Society and St Georges Church. A central focus will be the Christmas Tree Festival at the Red Hill Recreation Reserve, 10am, 11 December. Schools and community groups are entering themed Christmas trees to be displayed on the day, followed by a family picnic and evening Christmas carols. Red Hill Garden Society president Christine Lowe came up with the idea of the festival. “I grew up in Nhill and they held a Christmas Tree Festival there for about 20 years,” Ms Lowe said. “With COVID-19 I thought that, since we are all isolated, wouldn’t it be great to make decorations and then come together as a community for the festival.” The event is being hosted by the Red Hill District Lions Club,” organiser Lyn Connor said. “Christmas trees are a symbol of ongoing life and vitality and just what we need to cheer us moving forward to next year,” she said. Schools, community and sporting groups are encouraged to enter a tree and children are busy making decorations. More than 20 trees have been entered by community organisations and more groups are invited to

participate. To round out the day, the Lions Club will host a BYO family picnic and St George’s Church Red Hill will present the 15th annual performance of Carols on the Hill at 5.30pm. The carols will be led by the Mornington Youth and Citizen’s Band and children are encouraged to dress up for the Nativity scene, with costumes being provided. Parish Priest Fiona Goy said the carols were always well supported by people of all ages “singing the old-fashioned carols”. During the telling of the Christmas Story it was “amazing how many little angels and shepherds we need” she said. Red Hill and District Lions Club will place a large Christmas tree at Red Hill South over the festive season. “After the past 18 months, traders have really had it tough,” Ms Connor said. “Lions is proud to support them, and the local community, through the Christmas tree initiative.” Details: redhillviclions@gmail.com Lead up events to the Christmas Tree Festival to be held on zoom include: 16 October – wreath making and door decoration; 30 October – clay decorations, and 20 November – beading and stitchery (venue to be decided). To register for these free sessions, or to enter a tree in the Christmas Festival, email redhillviclions@ gmail.com

Safety concerns: Dromana pier is closed to the public. Picture: Supplied

Fears for pier’s future THE Dromana community is “devastated” by the closing off of the pier amid concerns that the lack of a response from Parks Victoria means its future is in doubt. The Department of Environment Lands Water and Planning has fenced off the last 40 metres of the concrete structure because erosion underneath has made it unsafe. The lower landing is still in good condition and is open for use. Cr Antonella Celi said the community was “very concerned about the state of the pier and [in not getting] a response from Parks Victoria or the

state government about its repair or redevelopment”. “The community is devastated that the pier has reached a point of such neglect and fears losing it altogether if Parks Victoria does not take action soon to commit to its redevelopment,” she said. Parks Victoria last year engaged the community in a planning for the future at Dromana pier project and a report that detailed options for its redevelopment. However, the report noted there was no current commitment from Parks Victoria to replace the pier.

“It’s about time Parks Victoria took action to save the Dromana pier and the state government committed to redeveloping and replacing the pier with a preferred option and a construction timeline,” Cr Celi said. “The community has been advocating for the redevelopment over the past decade and, since the Dromana pier engagement summary report was released, there has been no further response from Parks Victoria on any decisions going forward.” The report is at: engage.vic.gov.au/ community-vision-dromana-pier Stephen Taylor

Parks in no hurry to fix jetty Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A BOAT owner wants Parks Victoria to replace or repair the timber jetty inside Mornington harbour that it closed one year ago. Paul Hasenkam, of Mount Eliza, says Parks should increase annual mooring fees and use the extra money to maintain the jetty. He says the jetty and stone wall area should always be open to the public. “Normally, lots of kids fish off the jetty as, during rough weather, it’s more sheltered than fishing off the breakwater,” he said. Mr Hasenkam has asked Parks to provide financial details of all its piers and jetties to determine what income they generate and what fees and charges are needed to cover costs. “It’s likely that little or none of the fees have been reinvested back into the Fishermans jetty’s maintenance program in the past 10 years, which may have prolonged its lifespan and ongoing serviceability,” he said. Parks Victoria has not renewed or is not making berths available along the stone wall near the Mornington jetty. but has allowed six long-term boats to keep their moorings. Fees to berth inside what is known as Fishermans jetty are $989 for 2020/21 and outside the jetty $1487. Fees to berth along the stone wall are $124 for 2020/21. Mr Hasenkam has also written to Fishing and Boating Minister Melissa Horne and sent off a freedom-of-information request to Parks Victoria for all income and expenses relating to the jetty over the past 10 years. “Parks replied that there is no revenue from the jetty and they don’t separate expenses for the 40-something piers they manage,” he said. “I find it astounding that they have no charter of accounts detailing the revenue and expenses for each pier. It’s a failure in basic accounting princi-

[epidemic] restrictions gradually, we move into summer and, hopefully, return to some normality in all of our lives.” Acting regional director marine and maritime Graeme Davis said Parks Victoria recognised the economic and social benefits of Fisherman’s jetty but that “ensuring public safety is our priority”. “The jetty will remain closed to all, including fishers and boaters, except about six berth holders, while we continue to prioritise the repair and renewal of local port assets for all Victorians to enjoy,” he said. “We continue to work with the existing six berth holders to facilitate managed safe access where possible.”

MUSIC lovers on the Mornington Peninsula are being invited to provide feedback on a municipal music plan. The plan asks those who play, sing, produce or just enjoy music to let Mornington Peninsula Shire know what their most memorable music experience was and what they would like to see more of, including live performances. The shire last year asked those in the music industry what they needed, what their fans wanted and what it could do better to support music on the peninsula. Feedback helped form the draft music plan, which is on public exhibition until 1 November. The plan includes support for musicians and businesses, activities and cultural places and spaces.

COMMUNITY consultation on Mornington Peninsula Shire’s strategy to manage floods and stormwater closes Sunday 17 October. With responsibility for 90 per cent of the drainage system on the peninsula, the shire says it is committed to managing and reducing the risks of flooding which are being exacerbated by climate change and increasing urbanisation. The draft strategy aims to reduce the risk on homes and businesses of increasing rainfall, rising sea levels, storm surges and inland flooding. The strategy will provide information on how to prevent or reduce the risk of flooding through planning regulation, strategic mitigations, a well-informed community and smart technologies. “Flooding is a natural phenomenon and we all have a responsibility to prevent and protect our community,” the mayor Cr Despi O’Connor said when encouraging community feedback on the draft strategy.

ples and may relate to their inability to maintain the piers efficiently.” Mr Hasenkam said this was a “terrible outcome” for the local community. “The jetty is not managed by locals with a direct interest and it would seem that Parks is lacking that capacity to maintain and properly manage the assets that it is responsible for,” he said. “From the condition report, I doubt there have been any programs in place for the maintenance of Fishermans jetty, even though all moorings have been occupied. “I wish to work through this openly so that we may find a positive solution for the local community, particularly as the government lifts the

Support helps family rebuild

Demons’ fans Lizzy Peel and her sister Janet Foote can’t stop smiling after their boys’ Grand Final win. Picture: Supplied

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A TYABB family whose world “fell apart” when their son was diagnosed with cancer says support from their school was the “shining light” that helped them through. Miller Reid, who is being treated for a rare cancer of the spinal cord at Monash Children’s Hospital, has received strong backing from St Joseph’s in Crib Point, which included raising more than $3200 on his behalf for children’s cancer charity My Room. Miller’s parents, Jessica and Chris Reid, said since July last year, when Miller was diagnosed, the family has “been through what can only be described as hell and back”. But they knew they were not in it alone. “Having the support of our incredible school has been our shining light,” Ms Reid said. “In addition to providing ongoing support for our family, the school community has raised over $3200 on behalf of Miller for the My Room fundraiser. “This is a testament to the wonderful school and community we have ... just knowing that they are behind us, and supporting us, all the way. St Joseph’s cares not only about the students, but for the families, too.”

Principal Gab Espenschied said the school was “so lucky to have Miller and his brother Mason as part of our community”. “The Reid family are a wonderful family who have shown such strength and resilience in this difficult time and the St Joseph’s community are here to support them in whatever way they need,” she said. The Reids said My Room had provided support throughout Miller’s time at hospital. “The endless work they do for those suffering from childhood cancer is truly remarkable,” Ms Reid said. “The

As we drove along Point Nepean Road lots of people were waving and hooting. “I never thought I would see them win it and everybody thought the Dogs were going to get up but, of course, they didn’t.” Ms Peel said the team’s popularity and the fact they won so convincingly after such a long time was welcomed by the community. “It’s brought everybody up in these sad times.” The win was a family affair. “The kids in Melbourne all barrack for the Demons and they’ve painted their fences, too.” Stephen Taylor

Crews battle Capel Sound shop fire Pictures: Gary Sissons

SIX fire trucks and CFA crews from Rosebud and Rye fought a blaze above a shop on Point Nepean Road, Capel Sound, last week. The fire started about 3.30am and caused extensive damage to the two-storey premises, Friday 8 October. Firefighters took an hour to bring it under control. A fire-fighting platform was brought in from Dandenong to check the roof after the fire had been extinguished. FRV Commander Chris Hall said later that an investigator was on-site to determine the cause of the fire.

NEWS DESK Police patrol

Beach box group seeks Murder charge legal costs leniency

with Brodie Cowburn

Drugs seized POLICE have allegedly seized $14,000 worth of cocaine as well as cash from a house on Lautrec Street, Frankston. Frankston Crime Investigation Unit executed a Drugs, Poisons, and Controlled Substance Act search warrant at the property. There they seized the drugs and money. Police have since charged a 27-year-old man over the discovery. He has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates Court on 23 March next year.

A MAN has been charged with murder over an alleged shooting in Frankston. A 34-year-old man was killed on 18 September. After a week-long hunt, police arrested a man in Cranbourne on 24 September. The 43-year-old Frankston resident was arrested at a house on Sarno Court. Police say he was treated by paramedics at the scene of the arrest and has remained under police guard in hospital since. The charged man has faced a bedside remand hearing. Investigators are not expected to make any more arrests in relation to the alleged murder. Victoria Police Detective Superintendent Crime Command Paul O’Halloran said “this was a dynamic and high-risk operation that involved the deployment of police from Crime Command, Southern Metro Region and specialist police resources to successfully resolve.” “This is a great result that police were able to apprehend him safely, and it’s very pleasing that no other people were hurt,” he said. “We’d like to thank members of the public for their assistance with this investigation.”

A prickly situation AN echidna sitting on a busy road in Carrum Downs was saved from a prickly end last week. Police patrolling the area moved him to a safer location (pictured right).

Support for COVIDSafe Peninsula Mornington Peninsula Shire has appointed two new COVID Education Officers for six months to help businesses, community groups and event organisers establish COVIDSafe plans and practices. State government has partnered with local government to provide additional resources to help businesses and community groups protect customers, staff and the public. COVID Education Officers will help local organisations keep up with changing requirements and implement practices to ensure they can operate safely.

The role of Education Officers is to: • help businesses, community groups and event organisers put in place or update their COVIDSafe plans • provide resources and templates to help with COVIDSafe plans and practices • promote COVIDSafe practices within hospitality, community venues and small retail settings. When it comes to COVID-19, we can’t afford to be complacent. Everyone must do their part so we can open up again including getting vaccinated as soon as possible. Widespread vaccination will mean less need for restrictions - allowing our businesses to open up and get us back to a thriving local economy.

Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Beach Box Association, which lost a Supreme Court challenge against Mornington Peninsula Shire, now wants the shire to pay its own legal bills. The action taken by the association is understood to have cost each side at least $80,000, an amount that is believed to be being sought by the shire from the association. The shire will not disclose how much it wants the association to pay. Legal and governance manager Amanda Sapolu said it was “not appropriate to disclose” details about the negotiations” as the issue was “still before the court”. “Councillors have been briefed throughout the matter and are supportive of the approach, however the shire’s executive officers are responsible for the management of legal matters, including settlement discussions and negotiations.” Negotiations over the costs between the shire and the association resumed last week after being delayed by shire officers taking leave during the school holidays. In August, the Victorian Supreme Court ruled that beach box owners on the peninsula must pay waste disposal charges. The finding was seen as a landmark case likely to affect various other charges levied by municipalities throughout Victoria (“Beach box owners lose waste case” The News 9/8/21). Beach box association president Mark Davis said it seemed “quite unreasonable” for his group to have to pay the shire’s legal costs as the action was taken “for the clarification of a law”. Mr Davis said the beach box association did not

have the resources of the shire and compared the shire’s bid to recoup costs to a “David and Goliath” situation. Mr Davis told The News that paying the shire’s legal bill could force the association to “fold - our viability is at stake”. “A lot of our members can’t afford to pay it,” he said. The court action was launched in 2018 after members became “increasingly aggravated” over two years by the shire refusing to deal with their complaint. However, the association had not appreciated the statewide implications of the law it was questioning. Beach box owners pay $50 a year to be members of the association plus $25 compulsory public liability insurance. Beach boxes are located at Mount Eliza, 14; Mornington 156; Mount Martha 252; Dromana 242; Rosebud 260; Rye 115; Sorrento 11; and Portsea 82. Mr Davis said the shire was the only municipality on Port Phillip to charge beach boxes for waste disposal. The fee is at $338 in this year’s shire budget and was $242 in 2018 when the legal challenge started. Beach box owners also pay the shire an annual licence fee for having the use of publicly owned land. The beach boxes are privately owned and can bought and sold. When the court’s decision was announced in August, the mayor Cr Despi O’Connor said the judge was “highly critical of the case put forward by the [beach box] association and found that it failed at every point”.

Call in the minister over Sign up for independent day ‘unlawful’ council claim It’s time for ratepayers to review the structure and operation of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. Its present image is of one that is unduly influenced by councillors with no previous municipal experience We can add to its previous disasters the amendment passed that conferred unprecedented power on the CEO “to reject a proposed notice of motion that relates to the day–to–day management of council by the chief executive officer”. So why do we have councillors? The traditional and desirable role of a CEO is to be the expediter of matters agreed to by them. We can only hope that the six councillors who initiated this tragedy absorb and act upon the advice of former councillor Hugh Fraser, who is widely experienced in local government (“Revoke council rules” Letters 5/10/21). He said their action was unlawful, so let’s see a legal opinion. It is also time to involve the Minister for Local Government [Shaun Leane], as this action could spread like a disease to other councils. Ratepayers were bemused by such early amateur antics by councillors in attacking the prayer procedure at the outset. A grant of $16,000 of our money being given to a councillor for an educational course, despite the fact that, hopefully, he does not stand for re-election. If undesirable councillors decide to stand, we will be ready to offer worthwhile and experienced candidates. Being responsible for deciding the appropriation of millions of our dollars is not the desired role for these amateurs. It’s time for correct action. Howard Bull, Mornington

Kangaroos not isolated This is not an isolated mob of kangaroos. More than 280 kangaroos represent almost 15 per cent of the entire Mornington Peninsula population “Death Threats Over Kangaroo Cull” The News 5/10/21). Concerned community groups and local residents are not all “misguided and ill-informed animal activists”. Offers by a local wildlife and Landcare group to remove a section of fence, install cameras, monitor movements, reinstate fencing and install one way gates so remaining kangaroos have a passage out of the exclusion fencing have been refused by the land manager. There has been no conflict with farming practices because it is reported the land has not been actively farmed for years. Kangaroos were entering the property through open gates until they were closed on 2 August. There is evidence of reo panels being laid under the exclusion fencing at points where kangaroos are trying to dig their way out. This somewhat conflicts with the land manager’s selfdescribed “greenie” credentials. A proliferation of exclusion fencing bordering the west of the national park, Greens Bush, is restricting free passage of our wildlife and has caused this problem. Nine thousand concerned members of the public have signed a petition calling for release of the kangaroos. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) has unbelievably again issued permits to cull these kangaroos. The protection of a declining population of eastern grey kangaroos on the peninsula is becoming a serious and urgent matter. The state government and DELWP should be ashamed they are allowing decimation of yet another protected species. The current situation at the property at Cape Schanck is not acceptable. A concerned community will not let this matter rest. Nigel Atkins, Arthurs Seat

Far-fetched claims No sooner was the whistle blown on the [alleged] bad behaviour of a land manager at Cape Schanck about the plight of a mob of Kangaroos and the accusations of environmentalists’ rogue behavior started flying. Nothing is too far-fetched, even the poison-

ing of kangaroos by these terrible animal rights people on the peninsula is not too improbable. As long as someone employed to shoot these poor kangaroos all will be well on this property. I think something is seriously twisted with such logic. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Time for the bell In these COVID lockdown times, it’s not surprising that the coastal walking track between Mornington and Mount Martha is being well used by many walkers, joggers and runners – and cyclists too. It’s this last group that’s my worry, as most silently whoosh past with nary a sound of warning. Do they feel it’s impolite to make a noise? Last week my friend and I shouted at several to ring their bell as they flashed past. “Haven’t got one,” retorted a boy, unapologetically. Are his parents aware that’s in breach of VicRoads regulations? But more to the point, is the seeming reluctance of most riders to advertise their presence. I’ve asked the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to put up Cyclists ring your bell signs. Then, if all riders did it, the shy ones needn’t feel self-conscious. Meanwhile, we’ll continue to walk in the undergrowth at the side of the pathway, ears aquiver. Anne Riddell, Mount Martha

Virus concerns I heard that there were over 11 cases of coronavirus recorded in testing at Rosebud, why am I not able to see where sites are so I can protect myself? I am concerned. Sylvia Seymour, Sorrento Editor: Latest statistics are available at: coronavirus.vic.gov.au

Differing values

JOE Lenzo is a familiar name to readers of the Letters column. Seemingly always ready with a comment on just about anything, and not shy about making up words, Mr Lenzo has recently turned his attention to the next federal election. A critic of moves within the Liberal Party to urge the Australian Electoral Commission to investigate “independent progressive grassroots initiatives like Voices of Mornington Peninsula”, Mr Lenzo is now handing out free advice to anyone wanting to “sell the independent [candidate] concept” (“Voices raise concern among Liberals” The News 7/9/21). A keen user of such phrases as “minatory ideologically motivated neoliberal associations” and “ideologically motivated neoliberal pseudoChristian extremist [federal] government”, he advises would-be political candidates and their backers to keep the message short. “Even though we do not have an independent candidate we can sell the independent concept,” he said after erecting a sign in the front yard of his Safety Beach house (right). “[It is] important to have only two or three key words that hit home and keep to bread and butter issues as best you can.” His suggestions ranged from Save Humanity to Clean Air and Restart Democracy. Mr Lenzo sees the short, sharp roadside message as a way of maximising use of the limited time between the calling of an election and election day.

“… Which is way too short to get an independent campaign up and running. The point is to get people thinking about the independent brand.” Mr Lenzo is offering to get signs made up at cost ($85 for a 650cm x 850cm sign on aluminium composite panel). He suggests following his design “so we get coordinated consistency” but using the candidate’s own words. Mr Lenzo can be contacted at vmpseawinds@ gmail.com Keith Platt

shopping malls (“Snakes waking up to spring” The News 28/9/21). The only deadly species native to the entire area are tiger snakes and copperheads, as well as feral (introduced) populations of red-bellied black snakes in urbanised parts of Langwarrin and near the Seaford Industrial estate. Copperheads and tiger snakes are often red, yellow, black or brown in colour and are commonly misidentified by non-experts as black and brown snakes but are easily differentiated by those who

deal with them on a daily basis (shape, texture of scales and scale configuration). The anti-venom needed to treat tiger, copperhead and black snake [bites] is the same and that for brown snakes is different, meaning a wrong identification before arrival at hospital after a bite may end up being fatal. The other advice from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning about the sense in leaving snakes alone is good and makes sense. Raymond Hoser, Park Orchards

How can the Ross Trust, owner of Hillview Quarries, claim to be guided by the United Nations’ Goal 15, which is to “Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss,” when they have applied to destroy up to 94 acres of remnant bushland on the north face of Arthurs Seat? Seems hypocritical to me. Michelle de la Coeur, Red Hill

Urban Nationals This country is in deep economic trouble (“Readying for Flinders election battle” The News 5/10/21). For me, a devout leftie, the federal Labor Party is lost, purposeless, just inoffensive and ineffectual. Nearly every party has jumped on the popular zero carbon bandwagon; mostly to stop burning coal, use only solar power and have net zero carbon by 2030,40,50, or 60, in order to save the planet. Net zero carbon has nothing whatsoever to do with the changing climate. It is economic strategy. It cannot work in Australia. Disproved climate theories, distorted computer models and a Swedish schoolgirl’s address to the United Nations have no credence with me, and I can’t be brainwashed by social media because I don’t use it. The Liberal Party, harangued by the National Party, is showing hesitancy in embracing net zero carbon, or even talking about it. Therefore yes, it is possible that I might have to vote for them in lieu of any suitable independent. There, I’ve said it. Back in the good old days when Liberals were really liberal, the Country Party, led by “Black Jack” McEwen, kept them in order. We had abundant electricity, a massive industrial base, no unemployment, proper jobs, a house for everybody. Paradise. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the Nationals would field some candidates in the cities, considering that the Liberal Party is a minority party, governing only by coalition. I’d vote National.Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Les was a grandfather of Emily, Catherine, Georgina, Matthew, Jack and Grace. Because of existing restrictions, attendance at the funeral service, held on 9 September, was limited to family members. The eulogy was given by Les’ sons Stuart, Paul and Graeme and this obituary is based on their comments. *** Les Martyn was the fifth of nine children born to Charlie and Clara Martyn and was raised in a rented, single-fronted house in Kensington. It was a time of economic and social hardship and from the age of eight Les would sell papers in both the morning and evening to supplement the family income. While times may have been tough, the family shared a loving home that provided a safe, humour-rich and caring environment. Lifelong friendships were formed with many of the lads of the local area, a tribute to Les’ interest in people and love of storytelling. He excelled at school and on the sporting field. Les was dux of his final year at primary school, winning a scholarship to Christian Brothers’ College, North Melbourne, where he again excelled. Although not the most talented footballer, Les captained the senior team at CBC and then the local YCW to several premierships. While some of his teammates, including his older brother Bryan, went on to play VFL with North Melbourne, Les was the natural leader and mentor of the teams. (In fact Bryan won the club best-andfairest award with North Melbourne in 1957.) During these formative years Les developed a number of qualities that he would display for the rest of his life: respect for others, fairness and

patience. He well understood the importance of family and the need to help others. He was a staunch advocate of thorough preparation – no matter the task – and he knew that hard work would be rewarded. When he was 16 Les commenced work as a clerk with the Commonwealth Bank and while with that organization he completed a degree in accounting. In 1956 he met, and subsequently courted, Denise Mullins who was the sister of his workmate, Tom.

The romance between Les and Denise culminated in their marriage at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in February, 1960. Meanwhile, Les had left the bank and embarked on what proved to be a short but very successful career with Cool Drive Consolidated Industries – an auto accessory manufacturer. This enabled him to build the ‘dream’ family home at Vine Street, Heidelberg. By 1966 the family had grown to five with the addition of Stuart, Paul and Graeme. Denise’s mother was also

accommodated and next door a new home was purchased for Les’ parents, Charlie and Clara. Les appreciated the importance of family and was always considerate of their needs. In 1956, when Melbourne hosted the Olympic Games, Les attended as an official. Little did he know that he would attend so many more! Les had an older brother who had an interest in wrestling and, during his junior football years, Les would accompany him to the gym to lift some weights. This aroused his interest in weightlifting and Les won several titles at state level before moving on to coaching. During the summer of 1970 several of Australia’s best weightlifters had been selected to compete at an international event but there were insufficient funds available to cover their costs. Les decided to hold a fundraiser in the backyard at Vine Street and, although several hundred attended, a little more money was needed. Les, always able to think on his feet, came up with the solution: raffle off the athletes! Moments later a ‘roulette wheel’ was established. This saw the slightly inebriated weightlifters, some of whom were of ample proportions, hung upside down from the Hills rotary clothes line and, as it was spun around, the audience ‘bet’ on the outcome. While the Hills hoist was never quite the same, the event was a huge success and sufficient money was raised. Les was General Manager of Cool Drive Consolidated Industries when it was bought out by Repco. The time had come to move in a new direction. In 1971 he bought the Royal Hotel in Hastings, changed its name to the Westernport, and spent 12 months undertaking a wholesale revamp. Improvements included a 250 seat restaurant (named ‘Martys’) with an appropriate kitchen, plus a drivethrough bottle department. Over the next few years Les expanded further in this field, first by acquiring the Chelsea Hotel and then the Dromana Hotel; both underwent renovations, particularly the Chelsea Hotel, and suitable restaurants were installed (again named ‘Martys’). Les still had an unfulfilled ambition: to establish an upmarket seafood restaurant in Hastings. This led to his involvement in the

Hastings Marina which was still in the course of construction. A lasting contribution to the Hastings community was Les’ participation in the development of the Hastings Leisure Centre (now rebadged as the Community Hub). Les was President of the committee and considered that the Leisure Centre would help to cater for the sporting needs of those in the community who were sometimes overlooked: children, women and senior citizens. During the late 1980’s the economy became rather unstable and ‘the recession we had to have’ generated an air of uncertainty. This prompted Les to scale down his assets, starting with the Dromana Hotel in 1990 and concluding with the sale of the Westernport Hotel in 1995. For around 20 years Les and Denise had lived in the ‘Tower House’, a Frankston landmark with Edna Walling-inspired gardens. This was sold and the couple moved to Safety Beach where Les ran the golf pro shop at the Country Club as well as a gym in the city. Denise passed away in 2009 and in 2014 Les moved to a town house in Frankston. Five years later he moved to an Aged Care facility in Mornington. Alongside Les’ business success as a hotelier was his huge involvement in sports administration. From his experience coaching weightlifters, Les moved on to managing them, starting with the 1966 British Empire Games team. As head of the Australian Weightlifting Federation (1971-1983) he presided over a period that has been described as ‘the golden years’ of the sport. Les was an active participant and advocate for sport which saw him take on leadership roles in various bodies and associations such as the Confederation of Australian Sport and the Australian Commonwealth Games Association of which he was the President from 1979 to 1987. The latter involved being host-nation President for the 1982 Brisbane Games where he achieved considerable success in convincing all African nations which were part of the Commonwealth to attend. As Les’ involvement in international sports administration grew, he and

Denise had the opportunity to travel extensively. This often led to exciting and interesting experiences and introduction to a number of dignitaries. They attended black-tie events across the globe, travelling to Russia and China as well as many European and African countries. A legacy of which Les was particularly proud was his involvement in the establishment of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). The Confederation of Australian Sport, with Les as Chairman of the Development Committee, convinced the Fraser government to establish the AIS in Canberra following Australia’s poor performance at the Montreal Olympics in 1976. Later, when President of the Confederation of Australian Sport, Les backed the establishment of the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 1985. He was also responsible for linking all

state sports bodies and governments to form a Coaches Association and is credited with establishing the Coaches Accreditation Program. These many achievements notwithstanding, the Brisbane Commonwealth Games were perhaps the highlight of Les’ long involvement in the world of international athletics. Apart from the attendance of representatives from African countries at a time when the anti-apartheid movement was disrupting other sports, the overall success of these Games generated enormous pride and enthusiasm across the nation. It was also a very tangible outcome of the work Les had put into developing the depth of sport infrastructure and talent in Australia following the disappointing results Australian teams experienced overseas in the previous decade. The AIS had only been operating for a few years but the groundwork

was starting to provide results. Les’ influence wasn’t confined to Australian sport as he held highly regarded positions on the boards of various international sporting organizations including Governor of the World Masters Games Association and Member of the International Board of Governors of Sport. In 2000 he took great pride in being part of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games torch relay. In retirement, Les’ passion for fitness remained and, as he aged, he took up cycling and enjoyed the sport in his later years. At 70 he completed the first of what was to be a number of ‘Around the Bay’ rides, much to the horror of Denise. He continued with his exercise regime – lifting weights and cycling – well into his 80’s. Following Les’ death the Chair of Sport Australia Hall of Fame, John

Bertrand AO, posted the following tribute on the Hall of Fame website: “Les Martyn was one of Australia’s most influential sports administrators, and he will be deeply missed. Sport was an integral part of Les’ life and his impact on numerous sports was profound; from training and managing Australian weightlifting teams to becoming the President of the Australian Weightlifting Federation, President of the Confederation of Australian Sport and Chairman of the Australian Commonwealth Games Association for nearly a decade. Les was one of a kind. His passion for sport and life, and his influence on sport in Australia, will be remembered for many years. We are mourning a great loss and our deepest condolences are with his three sons Stuart, Paul and Graeme and their families.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Councillor Gray’s house robbed Compiled by Cameron McCullough THIS week Cr Gray’s residence in Frankston was, during his absence in the city, entered by thieves, and a quantity of goods removed. The police are investigating. *** THE output of metal at the Moorooduc quarry last month was 3,500 yards, on which the Council received 2s per yard. *** THE report of the meeting of the Tyabb Cricket Club came to hand too late for today’s issue, but will appear next issue. *** THE anniversary of the Somerville Methodist Church will be celebrated by a concert in the local hall on Saturday (tomorrow) night. On Sunday special services will be held, the pulpit being occupied by Mr Gardner, of Queen’s College. *** AN important auction sale is advertised on the first page of this issue, the auctioneer being Mr Arthur Tuckett, in conjunction with Messrs Brody and Farmer. *** THE monthly meeting of the Frankston Mechanics’ Committee was held on Monday evening. Present – Messrs W. W. Young (president), P. Wheeler A. E. Lasslett, H. Vicars, W. C. Young, Cr Mason and the secretary (Mr Dalman). An application was received for permission to place a kiosk on the vacant land next the hall for use as a refreshment and confectionery stall. The idea did not find favor with the

committee, and it was decided to ask for further details. The view is held that the property of the institute could not be used for private enterprise. *** 12s Brings “The Standard” to you, by post every week for twelve months. There’s value in it. *** ON Saturday last the pennant won by the Crib Point Cricket Club, in the Peninsula Cricket Association, was unfurled by the President, Mr Chalmers. *** THE Naval Base, Westernport, is at present a very busy place, as nearly a thousand men are employed at the depot. It is hoped now that the Estimates have been passed that the dredging operations will be continued at the Naval Base, as the floating plant has been idle for some months, owing to a shortage of money. *** THE Soldiers’ Memorial, Hastings, will be unveiled on Sunday, October 16th. The impressive ceremony will be performed by Brigadier-General Elliott. *** AT the recent Jubilee Show, Master Lennie Purdy, of Frankston, received second prize in the 11 hands pony event with “Rosy Lane,” the mother of which, “Bonnie Lane,” won the second prize last year. Mr H. Purdy has been a competitor at the Royal Show since his boyhood days – even when the shows were held on St Kilda Road. ***

MR W. M. Hanton, secretary Frankston Cricket Club, desires to acknowledge the following additional subscriptions and donations: Mr L. R. N. Utber, £1 1s; Messrs Bert Ledgar, Charles Lawrey, T.

The matches extend over two days. *** MR H. J. Garrood is to be most heartily congratulated on the interesting set of photos of Frankston he has had published in today’s issue of the “Weekly Times.” One of the pictures depicts Frankston as it was in 1875 and another showing Frankston as it is today, which affords a fine study in contrasts. Another picture shows Mr Will McComb with a haul of yellow tail, whilst there is also a photo of the State School and its scholars. Mr Garrood has been promised another page towards the end of November, and he proposes to produce a page that will convince all of the desirability of the Frankston district as a holiday resort. *** A MEETING of the Frankston Tennis Club was held on Monday evening last, when the following officials were elected – President, Mr R. E.

Fairnie (in place of Dr Maxwell, who resigned); Vice President, Miss Dolly Gregory; Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs C. Dalman (re-elected); Auditor, Mr Cyril Twining; Committee, Mrs W. Gregory, Misses Dolly Gregory, Lily and Violet Gamble, and Messrs O. Olsen, Cockerill, R. E. Fairnie, C. Twining, Bert Johns and Dr Maxwell. On the motion of Messrs Olsen and Johns, it was decided to hold a ball on October 28th. *** MRS S. Male, of Frankston, who recently celebrated her 77th birthday, was born in Collins Street, near where Scots’ Church now stands. *** MRS Morris Jacobs and her daughter, Miss Laurison, left Frankston during the week on a visit to Sydney. *** MR W. E. Watkins, who succeeds Mr J. F. Bell in charge of the Presbyterian Church in this district, preached to a large congregation at Frankston on Sunday morning last. He also conducted services at Somerville and Baxter during the day. He has just completed four years’ charge of the Presbyterian Mission at Napier Street, Fitzroy. Prior to leaving for Frankston, Mr Watkins was presented with a wallet of notes by the Fitzroy congregation. *** THE Frankston branch of the Australian Women’s National League was revived last week under most auspicious circumstances. Mrs Crocker, O.B.E. presided, and Mrs Bolitho gave an address on the aims and aspirations of the League.

The election of officers resulted: President, Mrs Utber; Vice Presidents, Mesdames Maxwell, McComb, Deane and Jacobs; Treasurer, Mrs Pownall; Secretary, Mrs Lambie; Committee, Mesdames McFarlane, Dalman, James, Gregory, Hay, Bradbury, Young, Vicars, Twining, Jennings, Lascelle and Misses Gregory and McComb. Afternoon tea was provided and Mrs Gregory, Miss Oliver and Mrs Goodman contributed to the musical programme. The hall had been very attractively arranged for the occasion, the colors of the League, purple and gold, being conspicuous in the decorative scheme, which was most effective. It was stated that the annual conference – to which all Frankston members are invited – will be held at the Independent Hall, Collins St, on Friday next. *** A SUCCESSFUL meeting of the Frankston Progress Association was held on Tuesday evening last. A vote of thanks to the Press was very cordially received, Messrs Jennings, Wheeler and others speaking in laudatory terms of the assistance rendered by “The Standard.” At the request of Messrs Vicars and Legge, it was decided to make a complaint to the Postmaster-General’s Department regarding the unsatisfactory state of the telephone line between Frankston and Melbourne and request that a new line be installed. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 7 October 1921

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Sitting on the Randy Van Hornes of a Dilemma By Stuart McCullough THERE’S a record in a frame that hangs in my house. Unfortunately, it’s not a platinum, gold, silver or even polystyrene disc denoting sales in the greater Tyabb region, but a gift from my father. Worse still, the framed record is not one I had anything to do with but one by ‘The Randy Van Horne Singers’. I’ve never listened to it. Having it in a frame kind of ensures that I never will. I should be grateful. There’s a sticker on the front of the frame that simply reads: In case of emergency, break glass. This is just one of several framed artifacts gifted to me in a picture frame by my father. There’s also his Wham! T-shirt (no, that’s not a typo). It too got the full framing treatment after I wrote a story about it. About how my father managed to get a free t-shirt from a work colleague and then tried to gift it to me. To a teenage boy, nothing could be less cool than a Wham! t-shirt and wearing such a t-shirt would be to invite derision from everyone I ever met from that point on. Which, for any teenager, is a horrifying thought. I was openly repulsed by the offer. Despite or, more likely, because of that, my father insisted on wearing said Wham! t-shirt whenever and wherever he could. It was an on-going source of embarrassment on such a scale that my father thought it worth preserving for all time, and put it in a frame. The reasons for Randy Van Horne’s elevation to the ‘McCullough Hall of Frame’ are more to do with my persistent, albeit incredibly well founded criticisms of my father’s record collection. Most of his LPs came from a record

club. Presumably, the first rule of record club is you do not talk about record club. The second rule of record club is that, under no circumstances, should you play anything they send you. Ever. They seemed to specialize in unknown pieces by well-known composers. With a generous serve of

the Randy Van Horne Singers. But I really shouldn’t judge. For when it comes to criticizing people for their musical choices, I am very much occupying a glass house, full of glass modular furniture with a glass front door with Mick, Keef, Ronnie and the rest of the Stones as guests whom I am

ready to throw at the slightest provocation. I didn’t collect the dodgy music of others. I made my own dodgy music with my friends. It’s one thing to horrify your peers with your poor musical choices but it’s another thing altogether to be able to clear a dance floor as if someone had just yelled ‘fire!’ with one of your original compositions. There are classmates of mine who are probably still recovering from the time we performed for the end of year school dance at the Bittern Town Hall. Some of them have probably avoided music altogether since that fateful night. A case of ‘once Bittern, twice shy’ if you will. Sadly, our performances are not framed and hanging on my wall like the Randy Van Horne Singers. I do, however, have a DVD of one of our gigs. It was in Cheltenham, I think, which I regarded then as ‘the city’. I was wearing a shirt with a suit vest because, frankly, that’s how things rolled in the eighties. My brother was wearing a really big woolly jumper and had used so much hairspray that there was probably a hole in the ozone named in his honour. We played our particular brand of rock and roll to a group of impassive people who, presumably, had remained only because they were unclear where to find the exits. As each song finished, there was applause, although mostly I was only one clapping. But as challenging as the music was, it was the sight of myself attempting to dance that proved most difficult of all. What I lacked in skill, poise and grace, I attempted to make

up for with sheer, frenzied energy. The results were close to catastrophic as limbs flailed like one of those blowup things they put outside car parks to get your attention. It was not a pretty sight. But despite the fact that I couldn’t much sing and certainly couldn’t dance, my friends all stood beside me on stage. Whatever limitations we had as a group, we had learned to work together to create something. We were a team. That band was not so much about music (as the DVD made clear) but about friendship. I learned last week that the father of our drummer, Chris, had passed away. It had been years since we’d been in touch, but that week we were on the phone to each other. Even after all this time, the sound of his voice was so familiar to me and it made me happy to hear him speak even in that moment of impossible grief. We made plans of a kind. To get the band back together. To be in each other’s company once again. And, possibly, to dance. I find I’m making a lot of lists. They’re lists of ‘things to do when this mess is over’. I’ve added ‘band reunion’ to it. For all the catastrophe of the past eighteen months, I’m starting to think about what’s important. That very much includes my old band. I can’t wait. Maybe we’ll play a song or two. And if we do, I’ll take a picture rather than make a DVD. Then I’ll take that picture and put it in a frame and on my wall, right next to the Randy Van Horne Singers. Where it belongs. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Portland Sky heads to stud

G1 Colt: Portland Sky shares the Group One Oakleigh Plate win with Celebrity Queen. Picture: Supplied

HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou MATT Laurie’s Group 1 winning colt Portland Sky has been retired and will head to Widden Stud next year. Laurie, who announced the news on Thursday 7 October, said he felt the now best-performed son of Deep Field wasn’t going to be able to perform at his very best moving forward. “His body just wasn’t going to allow him to showcase what he’s actually capable of, so we had to make the call,” he said. “We got to see a good glimpse of what he can do and if you got one like him every year or two you’d be over the moon, let alone get one in a lifetime.”

The now four-year-old colt, who was partially broken in and consistently ridden at trackwork by local Hastings woman Tahnee Jade, won his first start on the Ballarat synthetic (1000m) as an early three-year-old. He went on to finish off his four-start prep with a Group Three victory (1200m) at Moonee Valley. Portland Sky stamped himself as a stallion of the future by winning the Group One Oakleigh Plate (1100m) alongside Grant and Alana Williams’ Celebrity Queen in a tied finish in his second prep before backing it up with a runner-up placing in the Group One William Reid Stakes (1200m) at his next start. Laurie said he was thrilled to see the colt deliver on raceday after

Clubs denied MPNFL spot FRANKSTON Dolphins FNC and Cranbourne FC will not be playing MPNFL football in 2022. The two clubs had applied to be admitted into the Mornington Peninsula competition. Cranbourne FC have previously tried to join the MPNFL, but have been unsuccessful. Before a meeting of the 22 MPNFL clubs last month, Cranbourne FC withdrew its application. The clubs took a vote on allowing Frankston Dolphins to enter, but the club did not gain

enough votes to secure its place. Although a majority of clubs voted to include the Dolphins in the competition, it did not secure the required 75 per cent of votes needed. The clubs also debated promoting Langwarrin and Mornington to Division One. The two clubs were the best performers in Division Two during the eventually cancelled 2021 season. The move to promote them was ultimately defeated.

showing such early promise. “He was always a lovely horse right from the beginning, so we had high expectations and fortunately he lived up to them,” he said. “He had a great brain and was a beautiful horse to deal with.” Now with Widden Stud acquiring a new set-up in Victoria, Portland Sky has the potential to stand at either their Hunter Valley, NSW base or remain in Victoria. Laurie said it’ll be interesting to see how he’ll now perform at stud. “It’s anyone guess but he’s a very fast horse and a vert attractive horse,” he said. “He’s by a really sort after stallion in Deep Field so he looks a good alternative.”

so we can get on with life

Mornington Peninsula Shire fully supports getting vaccinated against COVID-19 to protect the health of individuals and the community, and to help get our local businesses open again.

• It significantly reduces your risk of getting COVID-19. • It protects you against becoming very sick if you do get COVID-19.

We know the sooner our community is vaccinated the sooner we can get back to doing the things we love. Things like visiting friends and family, going out to a restaurant, hugging your grandkids or seeing live music. There are lots of good reasons to get vaccinated – what’s yours?

Building for now and the future

Seawinds: Crs Antonella Celi, Debra Mar, Kerri McCafferty We welcome news of the State Government’s recent community engagement regarding the upgrade of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway between Jetty Road and Boneo Road and look forward to this long-awaited project being progressed and completed for our community. The Safety Beach master plan is underway, with design for the dog beach at Martha Cove finished and construction starting soon on the new foreshore public toilets.

Enjoying our local places

Briars: Crs Steve Holland, Anthony Marsh, Mayor Cr Despi O’Connor Playgrounds have been vital for our young families during lockdown and we’re so pleased the new playground at Linear Reserve in Mount Martha is providing such enjoyment for local children. Now that our radius has expanded to 15km The Briars may be within your reach – it’s a beautiful place for a walk and wildlife watching. With summer on its way, gardens may need a tidy up – you can book a green waste collection by contacting the Shire.

Hastings you’re a top town

Cerberus: Cr Lisa Dixon

I am so incredibly proud Hastings has won this year’s Australian Sustainable Communities – Tidy Towns Awards. It is now officially Australia’s most sustainable community! Hastings also won an amazing four of the nine individual categories across litter prevention, heritage and culture and community health and wellbeing. Young local Harrison Hansen also took out the Young Legends Award for his consistent support of Westernport Secondary College. I would also like to welcome the opening of the new Polish Community Respite Home in Crib Point, which is a wonderful facility serving our local community.

Got any great ideas or interested in volunteering?

Watson: Cr Paul Mercurio AM

Got a new idea you’d like to share with Council? The Shire is looking for innovative ideas that will help us achieve our Community Vision for the Peninsula and improve our way of life. Share with us at mornpen.vic.gov.au/ideas Meals on Wheels delivers up to 1,600 meals per week on the Peninsula and it couldn’t survive without the dedication of volunteers. But we need more volunteers to make sure we can continue to provide this important service. If you would like to get involved, please call our volunteer support officer on 5950 1600

Red Hill: Cr David Gill

With State and Federal elections looming, individuals and local organisations have a great opportunity to advocate to politicians for community projects. Now is the time to start – big or small projects often receive election promises. My role includes helping to ensure any promises are delivered. Thank you VicRoads for the recent actions including lowering speed limits on some dangerous rural roads and for some road safety works after considering factors that have our Shire among the highest municipal road tolls. Thanks to our Peninsula community for advocating for these changes.
