HAS TI NG S GI F T

17 T H N OV E MBER 2 018 - THOM AS BA RC L AY OVA L

What a gift for Hastings LATE last year, a small group of local individuals came together with the idea of running a professional athletic event in Hastings, and so the Hastings Gift was started. As a sporting spectacular, it is expected the event will draw a large crowd providing much needed tourism for the area, and has already received outstanding support from the community, the council and participants. The 2018 Hastings Gift is being held on Saturday November 17 at the Thomas Barclay Oval, 155 Marine Parade, Hastings. The idea to introduce a professional running event to Hastings came to fruition because a number of the committee members have family members and friends that compete on the Victorian Athletic League circuit and live on the Mornington Peninsula.

They run with a local sprinting team called Pride Performance and between them they have won all of the biggest and most prestigious gifts both in Victoria and interstate. Some of their wins include Rye Gift, Maryborough Gift, Ballarat Gift, Queanbeyan Gift (NSW) and the iconic Stawell Gift. The intent of the Hastings Gift is to broaden awareness of professional running which is cemented in Australia’s history with the first gift starting back in 1878. The Hastings Gift, run in conjunction with the Victorian Athletic League, is a series of professional races where the community will have the opportunity to see some of the best runners in Australia compete in their own backyard, something most people would

never have the opportunity to experience, other than watching the Stawell Gift finals on television. The day is designed to support and give back to the community as either a spectator or to become actively involved. The event will attract around 500 athletes and their families, some coming from interstate. There will be a number of races on the day, with a program rich with professional athletes. Ralph Doubell, the 1968 Olympic champion and Australian sporting hero, will be there on the day to present the winner’s sash for the Ralph Doubell 800m open Handicap. Holding the Australian 800m record for 50 years, it was recently broken by Joseph Deng, yet another Aussie icon in the making. The Committee would like to congratulate Ralph on an amazing career and inspiring life, and

can’t wait to see him walking through the gates. Other races include the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council 70m Hastings Sprint, the Tucketts Tyrepower 120m Hastings Masters, Computers.com 120m Hastings Backmarkers Invitational, Malvolio 300m Hastings Masters / Women’s , and of course the John Coleman Mile Hastings 1600m. John Coleman is considered to be one of the greatest AFL players of all time, with an association with Hastings where he lived and played footy for many years. Off the running track, there will be plenty of entertainment with a kid’s animal farm, face painting, colouring in tables, and lots of food and drink stalls. www.hastingsgift.org

Track star honoured at Gift

RALPH Doubell will attend the Hastings Gift on the 17th of November to present the winner of the Ralph Doubell 800m medal.

Doubell’s first major international victory in 800 metres was at the World Student Games in Tokyo in 1967 in a time of 1:46.7.

A true legend of the sport, Ralph Doubell was born in Melbourne, and was educated at Melbourne High School and graduated from the University of Melbourne, where he had come under the tutelage of Austrian-born coach Franz Stampfl.

His next season (the Olympic season) was severely curtailed by Achilles’ tendon injuries, and he was unable to compete for six months prior to the Olympic Games in Mexico City. Doubell, however, was able to recover in time for Mexico City and won the 800 m gold

medal, passing the pre-race favourite Wilson Kiprugut of Kenya down the straight to win in a world record equalling time of 1:44.3. Doubell also won the 800 metres gold medal at the 1969 Pacific Conference Games in a time of 1:48.0. Doubell had planned to compete at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, but was prevented in doing so by calf injuries, which brought on his

retirement from competitive athletics.

Doubell was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 1985. On 12 June 2006, in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List, he was made a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia, for “services to athletics through administrative roles, particularly with Athletics New South Wales, and as a competitor.

Former Hastings great John Coleman honoured AN event held during the Hastings Gift carnival is to honour local football immortal by naming a race the John Coleman Mile. Run over 1600 metres finalist will compete for the John Coleman Mile medal. In 1943, Coleman’s mother took the children to live at Hastings on the Peninsula while her husband remained in the city to look after his business. Coleman then divided his time between Melbourne, where he was a student at University High School, and Hastings, playing on Saturdays for the local football team which competed in the Mornington Peninsula League. Essendon first invited Coleman to train at the club in 1946, but considered him too young to be able to play senior football. In the following two seasons, Coleman completed pre-season training with Essendon and played in practice matches. However, both times he was sent back to Hastings, where he kicked 296 goals in 37 games over two years, including 23 in one game against Sorrento in August 1948. The 1949 season was a make or break time for the budding forward. He again trained

with Essendon, but was frustrated by many of the senior players who ignored his leads. From his first match, when he not only kicked a to-this-day unbeaten record of twelve goals on debut his 12 goals in the first home-andaway match of a season.Coleman, noted for his explosive speed, would slip the guard of his opponent and sprint into open space on the lead or leap onto a pack of players to take a spectacular mark. No doubt on the 17th of November the finalists in the John Coleman mile will try and emulate his dashing speed and be first across the line to claim the John Coleman medal for their own.

Local athletes in training MORNINGTON Peninsula athletes who make up the Pride Performance team are working to ensure the trophy does not leave the Peninsula. Working around their day jobs they come together to train at least five times a week. Together the team members have won many of the major gift races throughout the

country which include the Rye Gift, Ballarat, Maryborough Gift, Queanbeyan Gift & the Stawell Gift. The Hastings Gift is shaping up to be a very competitive gift and the team is going to face some stiff opposition with expected entries coming from the top athletes from around the country.

Green wedge protection promise applauded Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au PREMIER Daniel Andrews’ election promise last week to establish more parks and increase protection of green wedges has been welcomed by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. The premier last week promised to “create more green open space than ever before” across Melbourne – including connecting 1881 hectares of parks and reserves between the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands and Mornington. He said the state government would look at ways of linking the EdithvaleSeaford wetlands, Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve, Studio Park, Dame

Elisabeth Arboretum, Cruden Farm, Langwarrin Flora and Fauna, Baxter Park, Sages Cottages, Moorooduc Quarry and Devilbend Natural Features Reserve. This would enhance and complement green wedge land on the peninsula. The protected zones are increasingly being recognised as vital for their major contribution to community health and wellbeing as development pressures dramatically increase living densities in residential areas. The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the Mornington Peninsula green wedge with an area of 51,204 hectares – 512 square kilometres – was of state and national significance. Campaigning for its protection

ramped up at the Green Wedges Summit held at Main Ridge in June which highlighted the value of produce from green wedge areas, which comprise about 70 per cent of the peninsula, and the importance of a sustainable water supply. (Water ‘saviour’ of green wedge The News 2/7/18). The summit also focused on the importance of maintaining the environmental, agricultural, tourism and social integrity of the green wedge areas with “balanced” planning and policies. The premier’s announcement was welcomed by the association of Interface Councils, which includes Mornington Peninsula Shire. The council’s executive officer David Hawkins said there were “significant

housing sites – 25 per cent of the housing stock in Mornington Peninsula Shire – the “automatic right to build new or renovate existing homes into three storey McMansion-style homes throughout low scale developed townships and coastal villages”. He said the imposition of three storey homes in traditionally small-scale residential areas could lead to “major urbanisation on the boundaries of the green wedge through the historic Mornington Peninsula coastal villages and townships”. Cr Payne has called on Opposition leader Matthew Guy to “confirm the Opposition’s commitment to overturning the three storey planning regulations”.

benefits for all Victorians in expanding the parks and trails, particularly in green wedge areas”. He said the Interface Councils had been “discussing with the Andrew’s Government the need for an increased investment to maintain the green wedge land in the Interface’s areas, as these are the lungs of Melbourne and require intensive maintenance”. Last week Cr Payne contrasted the premier’s promised protection of green wedges to his “McMansion” three storey height limit planning legislation introduced in 2017 (Seeing red over house heights The News 26/3/18). Cr Payne slammed the state government’s unilateral decision to change planning regulations to allow 24,000

Big crowd at aged care info session Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ABOUT 100 residents packed Balnarring Hall last week for a community information session put on by Arcare. The aged care provider is proposing a 75-bed centre in Brooksby Square. (“Residents up in arms over ‘invasion’ plans”, The News 23/10/18). Brooksby Square resident Jan Eyles, who previously hosted a public meeting at her home to alert nearby residents to the proposal, said the session on Wednesday 7 November attracted a big crowd. “They massively underestimated how many would turn up,” she said. “I think there were at least 100 people, including Nepean candidate Russell Joseph and Liberal MP Neale Burgess, as well as candidates Paul Saunders (Greens) and Chris Brayne (ALP). A representative of Balnarring CFA also attended. “It turned into more of a fiery Q&A session than the information session they had planned. “Many residents from other streets attended – not just Brooksby Square residents. “Of course, not all were against it. The only thing we got out of it was that we let them know how we felt … and how the extra traffic, street parking and safety issues were going to affect our everyday living.” Spokesperson Matt Archdall said Arcare held the meeting to “help resi-

dents understand the residential aged care application before council”. “Copies of the plans and the expert reports were on display and available to attendees,” he said. “Key project personnel, such as the architect, planner, builder and three senior Arcare team members, were available to answer questions on the night.” Mr Archdall said Arcare was responding to questions put by residents. “In our ongoing efforts to help those near the proposed site fully understand how the building will operate, we’d suggest future questions be directed to council to ensure there is clarity about the information being shared among the community,” he said. “Our original submission to council covered all relevant information to address the permit application requirements and this documentation is available for inspection through council.” Ms Eyles criticised Mornington Peninsula Shire Council for putting the yellow proposed-development notices up on the site on Monday 5 November (Cup Day holiday weekend) when many people were away. “Only one resident received an official letter [sent to adjoining property owners to notify them of the proposal] and we were still waiting for the other 99 letters the council said they posted last Friday (2 November) by priority post,” she said. “If I hadn’t found out about it we’d be blissfully unaware of it.” Mornington Peninsula Shire was contacted for comment.

Getting it together: Environment Victoria’s Jane Stabb, Emma Humann and Mark Wakeham, Save Westernport Committee’s Elizabeth Hutchison, Candy Van Rood, Julia Stockigt, Louise Page and Environment Victoria’s Nick Aberle at the presentation.

Hard work capped off with award “RELENTLESS hard work and environmental activism” lay behind the Save Westernport group’s receipt of the annual Community Environment Recognition Award at Environment Victoria’s annual meeting in Melbourne recently. The aim of the award is to recognise the “achievements of remarkable community groups and individuals who have led innovative and persistent grassroots campaigns to protect places they love, often with very limited resources”. The Save Westernport group was formed in May by a group describing themselves as “passionate locals

[with] grave concerns about AGL’s plans for a gas import terminal in the protected Ramsar wetlands area of Crib Point”. Many had never been involved in a community campaign before, but cited their “frustration and anger” as the catalyst to them organising quickly and accomplishing what many consider remarkable achievements in just a few short months. Possibly because of their efforts, planning minister Richard Wynne effectively put the AGL project on hold by requiring it to be part of an extensive environmental investigation under the Environmental Effects Act

(1979). Save Westernport spokesperson Louise Page said: “We were truly honoured to receive this award from Environment Victoria. “It’s been an extraordinary team effort with enormous support from the community. I feel we have played a critical role in holding back AGL’s plans and we’ll keep going as long as threats to the bay arise.” Ms Page said her sentiments were shared by many, including AGL, who “attributed the environmental assessment requirements [to be a] direct result of community activism in the region”.

Breaking ground at The Bays at Hastings WORK has started on the first stage of the 120bed The Bays Aged Care Home at Hastings. It is part of a $20 million development expected to open in January 2020. “We are ready for this exciting state-of-the-art home to become a reality,” The Bays Healthcare Group chairman Adrian Wischer said. “Since 2017 The Bays aged care has been at full capacity as a sought after home for ageing residents. The building of the new home will enable more of our community to access our services. “Our new home will have the flexibility to provide choice for couples. It includes comfortable and spacious private as well as communal dining, lounge areas, terraces, courtyards and outdoor spaces providing a comprehensive range of lifestyle choices.”

A commemoration service was held prior to the demolition of the Hastings Bush Nursing Hospital to make way for the redevelopment in October 2017. Many residents and community members who were involved with the hospital gathered and shared their memories, including Pink Ladies president Janice Danaher, the family of Robert Haywood, Shirley Davis, Fred Bayne and Dr Graham Cato OAM. The Bays Healthcare Group is a not-forprofit organisation which runs The Bays Aged Care and Dialysis Service at Hastings, and The Bays Hospital at Mornington. The Bays does not receive any government funding. All funds generated by the hospital are reinvested into state-of-the-art equipment, facilities and services to best serve patients and residents.

Hastings lawbreakers invited to smile for the camera A SURVEILLANCE camera at a graffiti hot spot at Hastings is the latest tactic by Mornington Peninsula Shire to deter graffiti on the peninsula. The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the camera, at the intersection of Wallaroo and Hodgins roads, Hastings, was a “joint initiative of the shire and Hastings police to reduce anti-social behaviour and address the ongoing issue of graffiti”. “It’s proving to be a very useful tool with an offender already recorded by the camera,” he said. Cerberus Ward’s Cr Kate Roper said it was a shame when public

spaces were damaged by “senseless acts of vandalism”. “Local kids catch the bus here and they should feel safe and welcome when travelling around Hastings,” she said. Earlier this year, the shire worked closely with schools at Hastings and Dromana to create a series of studentdesigned artworks to deter graffiti. They were installed where graffiti is an issue, such as Wallaroo Reserve, Hastings, and the freeway underpass on McCulloch Street, Dromana. It is a crime to graffiti public or private property. The offence carries

maximum fines of more than $38,000 and up to two years’ imprisonment. It is also an offence to sell, possess or store graffiti materials. The shire encourages people to report graffiti to police. Those with information can call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000. Anonymity is guaranteed. The council aims to remove graffiti on shire property soon after it is reported. Priority is given to graffiti considered offensive. Contact 1300 850 600 or report graffiti online at mornpen.vic.gov.au/ report-it

Take the ‘trail’ to find an artist FOR the 10th year in a row artists from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula are opening their studios to the public … and, to get there, all you have to do is follow the Peninsula Studio Trail. For two weekends the artists will be happy to talk with visitors about their creative techniques and show off their work places. The annual trail event held over two weekends (17-18 and 24-25 November) allows visitors a glimpse behind the gallery facade of a working art studio. Many of the 20 artists involved in the “trail” have won awards and are known on the peninsula, interstate and overseas. They recently held a 10-year anniversary exhibition at Southern Buoy Studios, Mornington, opened by Sue Baillieu, producer and presenter of “Arts About” on FM radio 98.7.

Visitors following the Peninsula Studio Trail can see such art forms as drawings, hand-thrown pottery, “sustainable sculpture” made from recycled materials, and printmaking styles from traditional to abstract. They will be shown art techniques through demonstrations and displays, and can speak with artists about their life and motivations. There will also be combined studio calls with visits to wineries, restaurants or cafes. Visitors will also see the many different types and locations of studios, from the dark and traditional, to within a private home, on a working farm, in the suburbs, gallery by the coast or large tin shed. To download a map of the “trail” go to peninsulastudiotrail.org or call Jennifer Fletcher 0406 733 381.

On the Trail: Frankston-based artist Lisa O’Keefe studied at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris, where she lived and worked for many years. Since returning to Australia O’Keefe has taught at the Victorian Artist Society, Mentone Art Society and Ashburton.

Brothers top fundraisers for run with K163

Proudly published by Mornington Peninsula News Group Pty Ltd

PHONE: 03 5974 9000 Published weekly. Circulation: 15,000

BROTHERS Bradley and Lucas Banks are excited to be taking part in the annual Kids Fun Run with K163 this weekend, to help raise funds for the special care nursery at Frankston Hospital. The fun runs, where children get to run alongside the historic steam train K163, go from 150 metres for three-year-olds out to four kilometres. Each runner will receive a show bag and a personalised certificate at the event, Sunday 18 November at Moorooduc Railway Station. Rotary Club of Mount Eliza is helping organise the event. The Banks family are one of the top fundraisers for the event with $250 so far, which will be used to help care for the hospital’s littlest patients. “It’s a good cause and it promotes a healthy lifestyle for kids,” says the boys’ mum, Emily Banks. “It’s kids raising money for kids which is good.” Bradley agrees with his mum that the event is for a great cause. He was a patient at Frankston Hospital once himself when he had asthma. The seven-year-old will be lining up for his second fun run this year, with four-year-old Lucas running for the first time. “Last time was fun and I did my personal best, but I didn’t care how fast or slow I was,” Bradley said. “It’s just a little bit of exercise to start off with.” There will also be face painting, balloon art, animal farm and other activities for children when they’re not running. “It’s good to get the kids out in the fresh air having a bit of fun – it’s a good day out and Bradley enjoyed getting the certificate last time,” Ms Banks said. Register online at www.k163funrun.org.au or register at the run on Sunday but be sure to allow sufficient time before your run.

WITH Remembrance Day, 11 November, falling on a Sunday this year, pupils at Mornington Special Development School acknowledged the occasion on Friday 9 November. “We remembered the fallen, the Great War

and the other wars Australia has fought in with a Field of Poppies,” principal David Newport said. “Many staff made poppies that we placed on the lawn, between the gallery and the basketball court.”

One Community Project Creating fun and happiness for people living with dementia and their family carers OUR vision is to end social isolation and loneliness in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula. We believe that nobody who wants company should be without it. Dementia shouldn’t get in the way of people enjoying life, meeting new friends and participating in their interests and new pastimes. We want to help people living with dementia and their family carers to have more opportunities to participate in their local community and enjoy what it has to offer. Our goal is to ensure the One Community project meets your wellbeing needs and works

towards making the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region a dementia friendly community. A community that supports people living with dementia to live a high quality of life with meaning, purpose and value. We are seeking your help, advice and involvement in how the project should be designed and managed. As we collaborate and become one community, we leave no space for people to be forgotten, and only space to listen, learn and grow.

Learning partnership protects threatened species A LAND management program on the Mornington Peninsula is not only helping to control weeds and pests – it’s also imparting cultural knowledge and providing certified training for indigenous participants. The Certificate III in Conservation and Land Management course is in its final weeks and is being run through Holmesglen TAFE as part of a partnership between Trust for Nature, the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority and the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation and Wurundjeri Land Council. The course involves field-based assessments where students work with 10 landholders on the peninsula who have Trust for Nature protective covenants. Their properties cover a total of 100 hectares and are recognised as important habitat for a number of threatened species of plants and animals, including leafy greenhood, common dunnart, swamp skink, powerful owl, Australasian bittern and communities such as swamp scrub and coastal moonah woodland. Trust for Nature’s Ben Cullen said the training was enriching for everyone involved: “It’s a really new concept where we can help landholders manage their properties and hear from Traditional Owners about their cultural knowledge while the Traditional Owners receive training and employment,” he said. “We’re focusing on controlling the larger weed issues such as sweet pittosporum, blackberry and boneseed which will increase native habitat for

the wildlife.” The program is an example of two-way learning: landholders, teachers and staff learn about traditional knowledge, while indigenous students learn about practical land care techniques, such as flora identification and threatened species. It also provides employment for indigenous people in their local area. Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation CEO Dan Turnbull said: “This program has provided a great

opportunity for Bunurong people to be back out managing Bunurong landscapes again, preserving cultural practices that have been ongoing for more than 40,000 years. Caring for Country is what our ancestors did and this allows us to continue to do that today.” Port Phillip & Westernport Catchment Management Authority’s regional indigenous facilitator Rhys Collins hopes the project will continue beyond this year. “Certified

training and employment are critical to increasing participation of indigenous people working on country in the greater Melbourne area and in Traditional Owners achieving their land management aspirations.”

Police stretched in holiday crush Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A LONG-SERVING officer has amplified fears the southern Mornington Peninsula is facing a desperate shortage of front-line police this holiday period. The 20-year veteran, who asked not to be named, said Rosebud police station was operating at only 31 per cent capacity at a time when the peninsula was expecting the usual holiday surge to bump up numbers from 180,000 to 500,000 people. The massive influx makes the region especially “volatile”, the officer

said. Jam-packed roads and limited access and egress – especially on the eastern side of the peninsula – exacerbate the problem. So, too, do the high number of events and attractions from Dromana to Portsea, such as the sand sculpting, polo, concerts, fairgrounds and schoolies “all coming down on Peninsula Link”. The officer said senior command was restricting the usual allocation of extra full-time police – about 25 officers from stations such as Dandenong and Cranbourne – to a “couple of police on two hours’ overtime from Frankston”. This curbing of reinforcements is being driven by the reluctance of senior stations Dandenong and Springvale to

release crews so as not to “ruin their crime stats”, the officer said. Divisional Superintendent Adrian White on Friday played down concerns about a lack of police numbers, saying “rank and file police don’t have the broader view” over resource allocation. “There is no shortage of police on the Mornington Peninsula,” he said. “We task to suit demand and we have the numbers to adequately police the region over the holiday period.” Of the 580 serving police covering Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, about 30 per cent are off duty at any one time. “We operate at 70 per cent deployment,” Superintendent White said.

started … “We can’t even run a van on afternoon shifts.” Superintendent White talked down concerns that the temporary – although significant – population hike on the peninsula would lead to an increase in crime. “It doesn’t necessarily follow,” he said. “Our intel and data shows that the increased population does not mean more police are needed.” He said the rapid deployment of extra police, such as highway patrol, tactical units and other front line officers ready for deployment at Rosebud or other peninsula stations, was adequate. “We have the ability to adjust our resources,” he said. “There is no crisis.”

But the unnamed officer said the deployment figures were “far worse” at Rosebud, with the usual staff of 60 reduced by 18 off on WorkCover issues, such as stress. The complement falls further with nine police on leave at any one time, others on rest days after night shift, and those on the usual four days off per fortnight. The officer said the allocation of 12 trainees at Rosebud who “can’t go out alone” was “burning out senior constables”. “We haven’t replaced police we have lost and putting on trainees isn’t the answer. We are going to get smashed this summer. We are struggling to fill shifts already and schoolies has just

‘Error’ leads to Nazi classroom bungle Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Volunteers honour garden’s milestone MORNINGTON Botanical Rose Garden volunteers are this week celebrating a decade of delight in their floral haven. It’s a labour of love for this happy and supportive group of mainly retirees who, over the past 10 years, have established, maintained and managed the gardens for the enjoyment of the many visitors. The garden concept came from businessman the late Don Gordon and the land at Civic Reserve was allocated by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. Mr Gordon is remembered by the naming of the information centre known as the Don Gordon Garden Room. It has given the volunteers a delightful space to relax in after working in the garden. The garden’s nautical design recognises Mornington’s yachting history. The rose beds are surrounded by a border of Australian natives with sculptures enhancing the landscape. The idea for the garden blossomed in 2002 and the first sod was turned on a freezing day in

June 2004 during one of the longest droughts in history. It has been hooked up to recycled water ever since. The 4000 rose bushes were donated by Treloars of Portland, with garden products maker Neutrog donating all the fertilisers. The Heritage Rose Society of Victoria has planted old varieties of roses that have been found in cemeteries and farms and date back to early settlement days. Gardener and radio and television personality Jane Edmanson officially opened the gardens on 12 November 2008. Since then the garden has evolved and thrived for the enjoyment of its many visitors each year. In 2015 the garden was awarded a Garden Excellence Award from the World Federation of Rose Societies. A shed has been built to store tools and equipment. It is fondly called “Laurie’s shed” in honour of Laurie Taylor, the man behind the project.

AN Education Department spokesperson has described as a “serious error of judgement” an incident in which Dromana Secondary College students wore and handled Nazi war memorabilia in the classroom. The students also reportedly handled rifles, helmets and uniforms worn by Australian troops. Particularly gruesome was the passing around of a Zyklon B canister which the Nazis used to gas inmates at concentration camps – often in bogus Red Cross ambulances or mock shower rooms. The incident was particularly distressing to parents and members of the school community in the lead up to last Sunday’s Remembrance Day. An Education Department spokeswoman said the department and the school was investigating the use of some “inappropriate items brought into a classroom as part of a WWII history lesson”. “The actions of the Nazis were abhorrent and should not be forgotten by any generation,” she said. “Using symbols or artefacts in a way that may normalise or trivialise the actions of the Nazis is completely unacceptable. “This was a serious error of judgement and we are supporting the school to take appropriate action to ensure it does not happen again.” The staff member who distributed the war memorabilia is not believed to be a teacher. The incident was exacerbated when photo-

graphs were uploaded on social media showing the students handling rifles, wearing a Nazi officer’s cap with badge and posing with a Zyklon B canister. Dromana Secondary College principal Alan Marr said he was “incredibly proud of our teachers, staff and students, and the values they share”. “Unfortunately we have been made aware of an incident that does not live up to the standards that we expect of our staff and we are taking immediate steps to investigate what happened and take appropriate action,” he said. “The photos have now been removed from social media.” Mr Marr said the history lesson aimed to educate students about the impact of World War II but some of the items brought into the class were “entirely inappropriate”. “We apologise for any impact this incident may have had on our students or any distress it may have caused to members of the community,” he said. “Our school has a strong reputation and relationship with the local RSL, and our students have previously been, and continue to be, involved in Anzac Day and Remembrance Day commemorations. “Some of our students will be attending services at Rosebud and Dromana RSLs on Sunday and the school will commemorate Remembrance Day with a minute’s silence on Monday.” Mr Marr said the students were aware of the “significant impact” of the Holocaust having visited the Jewish Holocaust Centre. “We will continue to reiterate to them the important lessons from World War II,” he said.

The fun starts on Friday evening at Rosebud Primary School with the first of many dances featuring the band Who Was That Cat who play 50’s and 60’s music with a Rockabilly twist.

On Saturday morning the Rosebud town centre comes alive with Hot Rods, muscle cars and vintage caravans, ‘50s bands and street-jiving. At the Rosebud Primary School there’s a ‘50s and ‘60s market with retro clothing, DJs, live bands and dance demonstrations with Rockhouse. During the afternoon the Rosebud Hotel presents bad boy Rockabilly band Diddy Reyes ‘59 Rockers. On Saturday evening, more rock, more roll with Shane Magro Combo, ever popular rockers Fender Benders, Jukebox Heaven’s Honey B and the Stingers and Australia’s coolest Blues and Swing band The Jackson Four.

Sunday sees pre-1970’s Hot Rod and Classic Car Show on the Village Green, with hundreds of cars and vintage caravans on show. For fashionistas there’s vintage clothing and ‘Pin Up’ contest in the Memorial Hall. The market continues at the Rosebud Primary School on Sunday from 10am with great music from Who Was That Cat and Fender Benders. All events will conclude by 5pm.

Tickets are essential for many events and will sell out quickly, so go to foreshorerockfest. com.au, where you can also get all the details, and like the Facebook page ForeshoreRockFest for all the latest news.

Nook takes visitors back to nature By Eve Kelly THE opening of The Nature Nook at The Briars Nature Reserve, Mt Martha, on Saturday 3 November was a great success enjoyed by locals and state-wide visitors. Designed and presented by the Australian Wildlife Protection Council, with the support of a Mornington Peninsula Shire Council Placemaking Grant, the jam-packed day of wildlife wonder officially opened the permanent space at The Briars Nature Reserve for all to enjoy. The space, a quiet place for the community to sit and contemplate wildlife, was opened by Cr David Gill

and attended by supporters, including state Greens candidates Paul Saunders and David Sinclair, Nepean Liberal candidate Russell Joseph, and ecologists Mal Legg and Hans Brunner. “I hope that we have a lot of people come and enjoy and relax here,” Cr Gill said after cutting the ribbon with garden shears. “The idea of being with nature without the hands-on part but with the reflective part, and enjoying and sitting back, is wonderful!” The opening was followed by activities at the visitors’ centre, including “Who did that poo?” and “Who Made that Sound?” which enthralled children and adults alike.

Nest boxes were checked with special cameras and the children had a great time making much-needed dreys, which are homes for ringtail possums soon to be released from shelters. Videos of rarely seen native animals were played on the projector. The activity sessions were followed by a trip to The Nature Nook where visitors sat on logs and took in the sounds, smells and sights of the surrounding forest. The noises of birds and the wind in the trees, smells of leaves and flowers, and sights of the area, were relaxing and informative and everyone felt refreshed and invigorated.

Applications open for Heritage Grants Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Heritage Grants are available to owners of heritage places to assist with carrying out heritage conservation projects. The grants aim to help owners of heritage places in maintaining and preserving their property. Properties covered by a Heritage Overlay or contribute significantly to heritage precincts under the

Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme, are eligible for consideration for a grant. Individual grants usually range from $1,000 to $2,500 but exceptions to this range may be made in special circumstances. Council makes the grants on a contributory basis – no grant will exceed 50% of the total value of any works.

Applications close 5pm, Monday 24 December 2018. Applicants will be notified of the grant outcome before the end of January 2019. For further details and to apply online, visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/heritagegrants

For more information, contact the Shire’s Heritage and Strategy Planners heritage@mornpen.vic.gov.au 5950 1953 or 5950 1249

NEWS DESK

Only one kind of butt welcome on our beaches THE Only Butt campaign was rolled out across Rye as a pilot campaign in July with bin-size posters adorning Pt Nepean road bins with the message of The Only Butt. Now, four months later, the campaign comes to an end at this week’s Mornington Peninsula Shire Council mayoral change-over. “The aim of the campaign was to educate and inspire smokers to put their butts in bins,” organiser Josie Jones said. “To reduce butt litter in your area, the first thing you can do is offer an ashtray as research shows most smokers do not see their butts as litter. However, butts are plastic and belong in a bin. “People are becoming more aware that litter entering our bay comes from the habits we undertake on land and, therefore, consciousness is shifting and the standard is being raised.” Posters of the campaign, with a supporting letter, were handed to all business in Rye to get the statistics on butts out there. Ten Enviropole freestanding ashtrays were installed at litter hotspots across Rye, and two ashtrays were placed in front of Woolworths Rye. Ms Jones said after two years of trying to reduce butt litter by using wall ashtrays, she had now gone to the freestanding poles which hold up to 4000 butts. Water is poured into the ashtrays to reduce the smell and deter breakage. “The wall ashtrays put out by Woolworths were being broken into by people trying to get the unfinished

butts,” she said. “This social problem continues to affect our litter prevention efforts which is why we asked the community to keep an eye out for the ashtrays.” The mayor Cr Bryan Payne agreed to put his butt on the line as a way of saying “No to butt litter”. “Bryan was a real sport coming on board for our campaign and made it a huge talking point about town,” Ms Jones said. Annually in Australia, 7.2 billion cigarette butts become litter, with half of the overall litter count being

cigarette-related items, such as butts, wrappers, foils and packets. “It seemed only common sense to run the campaign after litter audits at Rye over a year counted 31,000 cigarette butts on the ground,” Ms Jones said. “We as a community wanted to educate and inspire smokers to put their butts in bins by being a little cheeky and using our butts wisely.” Money for printing was donated by the Lions Club of Rye, with other support coming from Sisco Pizza, Feather and Stone, and The Sorrento

Stylist, as well as strong support from the public. “It was amazing to hear so many butt jokes,” Ms Jones said. The campaign is based on Victorian Litter Action Alliance research which found that when smokers become aware that their butts are affecting others, they are more inclined to bin them instead of discarding them on streets, parks and beaches. Compounding the problem is that 95 per cent of beach litter comes down stormwater drains. A website has been created with

support from Bendigo Bank branches at Rye, Dromana and Rosebud. It will enable other towns and shires to create their own only-butt campaign using their own images. The Only Butt campaign was a finalist in this year’s KVB Tidy Town Awards for Community Action and Leadership. Keep Australia Beautiful head judge Robbie Rae said she loved the campaign and thought it was a clever way to engage the community on a serious subject. The campaign’s litter audits found a reduction in littering and an increase in the use of ashtrays. Six in 10 Australians statistically use the ground as an ashtray, but that statistic for Rye is now two in 10 either local or visiting using the ground as an ashtray. “A business wanting to help could offer an ashtray as most people will use them if they available,” Ms Jones said.

Cup patrol nabs rule breakers

THE Melbourne Cup has been run and won – and so has the police Operation Furlong which ran over the long race weekend. In the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula areas, Somerville Highway Patrol police breath-tested 2400 drivers and found 10 over the limit, one who refused a breath test and two driving without alcohol interlocks when required. They drug tested 45 drivers and found 14 who were positive and three who refused the test. Seven vehicles were impounded and 48 unregistered vehicles detected. Police charged 13 unlicensed drivers, 12 disqualified drivers, and issued 97 speeding infringements. Four drivers were fined for failing to wear seat belts, and three for using mobile phones while driving. “By far the most impressive result for the long weekend was the fact that our areas did not have any serious injury or fatal collisions, which is a good result considering the amount of traffic on our roads over the period,” Leading Senior Constable Greg Wolfe said. “Well done to all those that did their bit by driving, riding and walking safely – please keep it up.”

Penalties tougher for rule breakers

Losers on Cup Day: Police’s ‘Operation Furlong’ has seen some keen racing enthusiasts lose more than just their betting money on cup day. Picture: Supplied

TOUGHER penalties for breaking road rules came into effect over the Melbourne Cup long weekend. Under new road rules as part of Operation Furlong, drivers exceeding the speed limit by 25-35kph will now have their licences suspended for three months instead of one; the maximum penalties for unlicensed driving are now a $9500 fine or six months’ jail, and the maximum penalty for driving while disqualified is a $38,000 fine or two years’ jail. Police are warning car owners to be careful who they lend their cars to because anyone who knowingly allows an unlicensed driver to drive faces a maximum $9500 fine or six months’ jail, and an employer who hires a driver who is unlicensed faces a maximum $3160 fine for individuals or $15,800 for body corporates. New laws regarding vehicle impounds also took effect on 29 October. Leading Senior Constable Greg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said those found driving while unli-

censed, suspended or disqualified can now have their vehicles impounded for a first offence, as can those driving without an alcohol interlock device. The patrol impounded three cars during its weekend shift, 3-4 November: They were being driven by a 48-year-old Somerville man who had not held a licence for 10 years; a 42-year-old Hastings man who had never held a licence and a 58-yearold disqualified woman driver from Mornington. The drivers can all expect to be summonsed to appear at court at a later date.

Facetime causes bad time for distracted pedestrian A MAN walking along High Street, Hastings, Thursday night 1 November, was airlifted to The Alfred hospital with serious, but not life threatening, injuries after being hit by a car.

Police said the 47 year old was “so engrossed in facetime on his smartphone that he walked straight across the road without looking and in front of a car. He went up onto the bonnet with his back hitting the windscreen. He then landed back on the road in front of the car and received serious head injuries.” Leading Senior Constable Greg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway patrol, urged pedestrians to keep their wits about them when walking across or near a road. “Your ‘smart’ phone is not smart enough to warn you about the car that’s about to hit you because you were looking at it instead of your surroundings,” he quipped.

Beware ‘vulnerable’ road users, police urge MOTORISTS are warned to be on the lookout for “vulnerable road users” – such as pedestrians, cyclists

and motorcyclists – out and about on Mornington Peninsula roads in the warmer spring weather. They are much more likely to be injured if involved in a collision than someone inside a vehicle. Serious injury collisions occurring during October included four motorcyclists coming to grief (two on-road and two off-road); two young children running out in front of cars; a pedestrian hit by a left-turning vehicle and an adult cyclist riding along the footpath running into a car coming out of a driveway. Police warn drivers to “keep your eyes peeled” and motorcyclists to wear the appropriate gear, ride within the speed limit and their capabilities, and be as “visible as possible”. Cyclists should try to ride on roads suited to their bikes, be visible and obey the road rules. Pedestrians should try to walk in safe locations, be visible, use marked crossings where possible and have a good look out for traffic. Parents should hold hands with young children near roads and speak to them about road safety.

Plea for witnesses SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol police are appealing for witnesses after a car’s tyres were slashed and its panels sprayed with graffiti on Frankston-Flinders Road, Somerville, 7.15-8.30am, Thursday 1 November. They are hoping passing drivers may have recorded the incident on dash cam, possibly without realising, so they can identify the culprit. The incident number is 180371824. Any information should go to Senior Constable Allen, at Hastings police, on 5970 7800.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Peace celebrations in Frankston mark end of the war assembled in the main street, where a service was held. Cr Oates presided and apologised for the unavoidable absence of Rev Tonkin and Mr Brody, and addresses were delivered by Rev M’Farlane, Rev Rymer, and Captain Gates. Each speaker pointed out that it was the hand of God who had assisted the Allies in withering the Beast of Berlin, and exhorted the people, in the hard days yet before us, to use love and sympathy rather than force, in dealing with our fellow creatures. A number of hymns were sung heartily during the service, for which the band played the accompaniments. A collection for the Honor Roll and Avenue of honor was taken up, and a good response was made, the sum of £10 being subscribed on this occasion. The day of rejoicing was drawing to a conclusion, but the joy was not yet over. A very large crowd gathered in witness the burning of an effigy of the Kaiser. At eight o’clock the fire was lit and the mass of flame shot into the sky, illuminating the animated faces of the exultant spectators. A resplendent cry went up when, at last, the head of the monster rolled onto the ground a smoking smoldering mess. Gaiety was somewhat stilled in that no fire works were set off. Cr Oates explained that this was on account of the danger to the public through the explosives, a number of accidents having occurred in the city through thoughtless people throwing crackers into a crowd. *** THE following additional subscriptions have been received by the hon

notified by dodger later on. *** ANNIVERSARY services in connection with the Frankston Methodist Sunday School was held on Sunday last which were highly successful. Rev J . E. Warren, of Balaclava, preached in the morning, afternoon and evening to excellent congregations. A feature of the services was the fine singing of he children, ably assisted by an orchestra of seven instruments. On Monday the church building was filled, when a good programme of music and singing was gone through, which was brought to a rather abrupt conclusion by the declaration of peace, the majority of the audience leaving to take part in the celebrations. *** ST PANCRAS’ private hospital will in future be carried on by a capable nurse in the person of Sister Campbell R.V.T.N.A., who has commenced her duties this week. Sister Campbell comes to Frankston with excellent credentials and will, no doubt soon find she is a most welcome resident. *** The friends of Mr Elrick Tait, son of Mr and Mrs C. Tait, of Frankston, who is a wireless operator on H. M. Troopship ‘Field Marshall’, will be pleased to hear that he is recovering from a severe attack of Spanish influenza and is now on his way back to Australia, after being away on active service for some considerable time. A most interesting letter has been received in which he states that the ‘Field Marshall’ was made Commo-

secretary in aid of the Frankston Honor Avenue :Mr Welshman, 10s; Mr W. Williams, £1; Mrs Williams, £1; Mr F. H. Smith, £2 2s; Mr Martozona, £1 1s; G. W. Wells, £1 1s ; Mrs Bolger, 5s. *** REV E. Tonkin will conduct both services in the Frankston Methodist Church on Sunday next. In the evening the subject of address will be “The demoralising effect of the liquor traffic, and the demand for prohibition”. Members of the I.O.R. and W.C.T.U. will be present. Solos will be rendered by Misses G. Croskell and E. Gale. *** A CONFIRMATION service will be held in the Mount Eliza Church of England on Sunday afternoon next when the Bishop of Melbourne will perform the rite of confirmation on a number of children of members of the church in that district and also children belonging to the church at Moorooduc. *** AN excursion train will leave Somerville at 8.10, and Frankston at 8.45 next Friday morning, November 22, and run right through to Royal Park Station, in order to convey, children and parents to a Frankston District Picnic at the Zoo. The following places have been invited to participate: Carrum Downs, Seaford, Frankston, Mt Eliza, Langwarrin, Baxter, Somerville and Moorooduc. Families to provide their own refreshments. Hot water will be obtainable. The precise time of starting will be

dore of the Convoy recently. Elrick wishes to be remembered to all “Aussie” friends. *** AT 3 p.m., on Sunday next, a united Thanksgiving service will be held in the Frankston Park, at which every body is earnestly requested to attend. Local ministers will give addresses, and the singing will be led by Mr Proster’s orchestra. A collection for the Honor Roll will be taken up. *** MEMBERS of the Presbyterian Church spent a very pleasant evening at ‘Osborne House’ on Tuesday last, where there was a social gathering. A programme of songs and recitations was gone through and the items were all much appreciated. Before partaking of supper, which was daintily and tastefully laid out, the tables being decorated with beautiful flowers as well as an abundance of appetising dishes, Mr Brodie, Minister of the Presbyterian Church at Frankston, presented Miss Cadle, Matron of St. Pancras Hospital, with a handsome gold pendant, as a mark of esteem, on behalf of her friends in the church. Miss Cadle has been compelled to take an extended holiday and left on Wednesday for Tasmania, where it is hoped a complete rest and change will restore her health, for which reason she has had to relinquish her duties. The singing of the national anthem brought a most pleasant evening to a close. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 16 November 1918

You and your prostate.

Compiled by Brodie Cowburn THE quiet which had been brooding over Frankston, since the outburst on Friday, when it was rumored that the Allies’ Peace terms had been agreed, and hostilities on all battle fronts had ceased, was broken on Monday evening at about nine o’clock when it was officially announced that Peace had at least been proclaimed and the war was ended. Although Friday’s demonstration had somewhat worn off the novelty, there was no less sincerity and relief in the hearts off the crowd which thronged the streets and gave vent to their pent up feelings a few minutes after the bells began to tell the glad news. All meetings which were being held were immediately adjourned, and Cr Oates addressing the people from the cannon, amid cheers, proclaimed the following day a public holiday. On the hat being passed round for funds to obtain fireworks, the sum of £5 was raised. Crowds of people remained in the street till a late hour singing, ringing bells, and demonstrating an intense patriotic feeling. A number of lads, under a large Union Jack, headed a procession which marched the streets. THE PUBLIC HOLIDAY. On Tuesday Frankston was gaily decorated with bunting and greens. Volunteers carted loads of wood etc to the cricket ground where the evening’s celebrations were to take place. The Langwarrin band arriving at midday, made things very gay with music and at three o’clock in the afternoon a great mass of people had

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Confessions of a Cultural Counterfeit By Stuart McCullough THE technical term is, I think, dilettante. As a young adult, I became very enthusiastic about certain art forms for short periods of time. I think I assumed they’d rub off on me and make me a more interesting person. More sophisticated. The targets for my enthusiasm were selected completely at random. As a result, my cultural education is incredibly hit and miss, with small pockets of extraordinary expertise, surrounded my great chasms of ignorance. Tragically for me, I couldn’t claim ignorance as a defence. Growing up in a small town like Tyabb, you could easily assume that I’d grown up without being exposed to much in terms of art and music, but you’d be wrong. Our house was stuffed to the gills with an array of great cultural treasures, most of them belonging to my father. Though he’d almost certainly reject the label, he too was a dilettante. Say what you like about Spotify, it has nothing on ‘Record Club’. So far as I can tell, my father had belonged to a ‘Record Club’ and, as a result, had received a broad selection of classical LPs. The basic premise of ‘Record Club’, so far as I can tell, is they gave you whatever they decided was good for you. Don’t like Brahms? Too bad! Sick to death of Dvorak? Tough luck! It’s coming through the post whether you asked for it or not. But although my father collected them, I don’t recall him ever playing them. All the same, those LPs sat in a queue, waiting to be discovered. There were books, too. Masterpiec-

es by great authors lined the shelves of my father’s study. Some were still wrapped in the original plastic, others were paperbacks whose well-thumbed pages had turned the colour of tea. Not that our thumbs got anywhere near them – the study was strictly off limits, except when my father was at work and wouldn’t know the

difference. Books and records were the trophies of adulthood. They didn’t need to be experienced, they simply needed to be held in captivity, like canaries. After leaving home, I took an interest in opera. Not because I’d been taught to do so but because it was a complete and utter mystery. To that

point in my life, I’d never seen an opera that didn’t include the word ‘light’ in the description and have the names ‘Gilbert’ and / or ‘Sullivan’ hanging at the top of the poster. Because I knew nothing, my selections were largely based on the CD cover. Say what you will about such an approach; but if you used that method for your own purchases, there’s no way you’d have anything by Ed Sheeran and your ears would thank you for it. I soon discovered that opera is quite daunting. I’ll admit to being totally intimidated by Wagner’s legendary Ring Cycle. Fifteen hours of opera seemed like a lot, even to a novice like myself. Besides, who wants to listen to fifteen hours of music about a trip from Greensborough to Laverton? It takes only half that time in peak hour. Luckily, I chanced upon Puccini and, almost instantly, the whole opera thing made a lot of sense. I discovered that soap operas are just operas with the music sucked out. No more, no less. It’d be great if, for a week, they decided to put the music back in again. Imagine Toadfish from Neighbours unleashing his version of ‘Nessum Dorma’? Or picture Alf Stewart from Home and Away performing a rendition of Rossini’s Largo al Factotum from behind the bar? It’d be awesome. Thinking back, it was my preoccupation with these kinds of profound but ultimately useless distractions that meant I got very little done in my twenties. For reasons that are no longer clear to me, I also took an interest in French new-wave cinema. I liked

the idea of dropping names like ‘Truffaut’, ‘Jean-Luc Goddard’ and ‘Chabrol’ into everyday conversation. I was indiscriminate. In retrospect, I should have waited for the right moment – it’s unlikely that people want to discuss such things whilst purchasing half a kilo of smoked ham from the supermarket deli. I suspect my interest was fuelled by the misguided belief that watching French movies made up for the fact I couldn’t speak the language, despite studying it for two whole years. Truth be told, I struggled. I didn’t always understand what was happening and, on occasion, it seemed a little slow. Francois Truffaut’s ‘The 400 Blows’ may well be a masterpiece but, from my perspective, it was at least three hundred and eighty eight blows too long. Twelve would have been plenty. I’m not sure any of it stuck. It’s been ages since I saw an opera by Puccini and even longer since I watched anything by Francois Truffaut. But they’re both a part of my youth. They remind me of a period of time where I didn’t really know what I liked so tried a bit of everything. I miss being that curious. The other week, I was scrolling through the shelves at JB Hi-Fi. There I spotted a box set collection of films by Francois Truffaut and seeing it made me happy for reasons I can’t quite explain. These are the souvenirs of youth. They stay with us always. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Five wicket haul: Hastings were helped along by Malith Chathuranga as he tore through Seaford Tiger’s middle order. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Heatherhill set a mammoth task for Carrum By Brodie Cowburn

DISTRICT

HEATHERHILL have batted strongly on the first day of their two dayer against Carrum to set their opponents a daunting total to chase. Winning the toss and choosing to bat, Heatherhill started shakily and lost their first wicket for just 11. Kieran Miller was waiting at first drop to come in, and he did all the damage. Miller put together brilliant innings of 93 runs before being bowled by Hand, and helped his side post a mammoth total of 9/285 before declaring with an over left to play. Carrum defended out their lone over for the day without loss of wicket. At Olympic Park, Rosebud have put themselves in a competitive position against Delacombe Park. The Bud’s middle order all put together decent performances to help their side along to a respectable total of 184. After Rosebud were bowled out, Delacombe Park were made to bat for four short overs. They played it safe and ended the day at 0/2, needed 183 more to claim the first innings. Seaford look as though they will defend their first innings total of 152 after getting off to a strong start when bowling against Mt Martha. Seaford put together a decent total of 152 before being bowled out. Michael Clavin was brilliant from his 15 overs, taking 5/29 to restrict Seaford to the relatively tame total. Mt Martha’s batsmen failed to capitalise on their good chance to win

though, as they collapsed to a paltry 4/49 at the close of play. Seaford Tigers also struggled against their Hastings opponents, with David James top scoring by adding 42 to a total of 132. Malith Chathuranga tore through the middle order and tail, claiming a 5 wicket haul. Hastings’ run chase started well, and the ended the day at 1/53.

PENINSULA

MOOROODUC have struggled badly to post a poor total of 86 off 44 overs against Main Ridge. Moorooduc’s top order fell for next to nothing, as all Main Ridge bowlers worked hard together to wipe out their opponents. Daniel Polson was the pick of the players with ball in hand, taking a well deserved 3/17. Main Ridge surpassed Moorooduc to claim the first innings, but did it without conviction or really capitalising on their opponent’s struggles. Ridge ended the day at 8/139 off 36 overs, having struggled to deal with the bowling of Reece Cordeaux. He took six wickets before the close of play. At Somerville Reserve, Pines have battled hard to post a respectable total against the home side. Strong consistent middle order performances for the Pines saw them finish up all out for 189, a defendable effort. Grant Humphrey’s innings of 43 batting at number 7 helped his side greatly.

Somerville lost an early wicket before the close of play, finishing on 1/14 heading into the second day. Long Island have Pubudu Edirisinghe to thank for the fact they built a respectable total, as his dominant knock of 83 helped his side to a final total of 165 all out. Michael Ballard was the pick of the bowlers for their Baden Powell opponents. He claimed the prize wicket of Edirisinghe on his way to a five wicket haul. Baden Powell’s chase hit a speed bump when that lost opener Shannon Small for just 10, and they finished up at 1/10 off 15 overs. Crib Point will have to work hard to defend their total of 168 in their second day of play against Red Hill. Brent Martin helped to restrict the run rate, as he bowled 17 maidens and took 4 wickets from his 35 overs. Red Hill faced one over before stumps, and ended up at 0/1.

SUB DISTRICT

TYABB have got things started on a disastrous note in their run chase against Skye. Chasing 154 to claim the first innings, the Yabbies lost two early wickets from their 10 overs at the crease. Opener Aaron Edwards remains not out, but Tyabb have their work cut out for them at 2/12. At RJ Rowley Reserve, Rye have made a meal of what seemed to be an easy run chase against Tootgarook. Tootgarook looked to be on their way to a decent total at 1/38. But

things quickly went pear shaped. A collapse from their tail proved to make the most damage, as their final five batsmen combined for just two runs. Chasing 110 to win Tyabb looked in the box seat, before an inspired bowling performance from Jacob Long made things interesting. Long took an astonishing 8 wickets as Tyabb finished the day at 9/73. With just one wicket in hand, they will need a miracle on day two to claim the win. Carrum Downs performed well in their home match against Dromana, batting out the afternoon at a casual pace and ending the day at 8/181 off their 80 overs. Jayden Parker was dangerous with ball in hand for Dromana, posting figures of 6/76 off his 31 overs. The final match for Saturday saw Boneo open up a big advantage over Frankston YCW, with opener Chris Jobling doing the damage. Jobling smashed 10 fours and 2 sixes on his way to a marvellous century. Despite Jobling’s heroics his top order let him down. They posted scores of 4, 7, 5, 0, 5, and 8. Jobling ended up being the last man dismissed, as Boneo finished their 80 overs at 8/199. Balnarring have a bye.

PROVINCIAL

BAXTER look to have an easy task ahead of them to chase down Peninsula Old Boys’ total of 106 runs in their two day clash. Thomas La Brooy is the only OB

player who can hold his head high, as he top scored with a knock of 53 not out. Things looked particularly nasty before his innings saving stint, as he came in with his side at 4/5 . Baxter’s run chase hit a speed bump early as they lost both their openers, and will continue next week from 2/24. Sorrento also look to be on track to chase down their total when the second day of play rolls around, as Pearcedale set them 141 for victory. Pearcedale were bowled out with 30 overs left to spare, giving the Sharks plenty of time to make a dent in their total before stumps. Sorrento lost their first wicket for just 4 runs, but got things back on track to finish the day well at 2/55. Emil Madsen Reserve played host to Mt Eliza and Mornington in the first of their two day clash, as the Bulldogs won the toss and elected to bat first. With their innings not off to the most encouraging start at 2/48, Ben Clements came in to stamp his authority on the game. Clements’ knock of 85 set his side up for a big total of all out for 216. He put away 13 fours on his way to the near century. Langwarrin also put together a great all round team performance to post a strong total against their Flinders opponents. A 55 run stand from their openers set things up for a good score, as Langwarrin batted out the afternoon and finished up at 8/201.

Kuol re-signs, Orritt undecided SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN has successfully fended off overtures from other NPL clubs and has agreed terms with striker John Kuol for a second straight season. And while Mornington looks set to sign Langy striker Liam Baxter it may lose attacking midfielder Sammy Orritt and striker Max Etheridge. Dandenong City was among a number of clubs interested in Kuol but the opportunity of being coached by former Fulham assistant manager and Newcastle Jets head coach Scott Miller was too good to refuse. “It was a no-brainer really,” Kuol said. “I wanted the chance to be coached by someone of Scott’s experience plus Langy’s been really good to me and I feel at home there.” Kuol, 24, is from South Sudan and has played for Traralgon City, Morwell Pegasus and Dandenong Thunder. His spell with Thunder in 2017 was short-lived and he returned to Pegasus in the back half of that season before joining Langy for its inaugural season in NPL2. Kuol will be part of a new-look Langwarrin attack featuring Damir Stoilovic, David Stirton, Luis Covarrubias and Jordan Templin and is confident that the side can gel quickly. “The new players don’t mean anything if we are not operating as a unit and there is no chemistry so that will be the biggest challenge for Scotty.” And it’s a challenge Kuol expects the head coach to win. “I’m really looking forward to playing my best football and I think we are going to be the team to look out for. “I think we could go all the way.” But Langy will almost certainly have to do so without the services of Baxter, Kuol’s attacking partner last season. Baxter, 27, joined Langwarrin from Goulburn Valley Suns in April 2017. He was on the books of Scottish Championship outfit Inverness Caledonian Thistle until he was 17 when he decided to leave to get more first team football. He played in the Highland League with Brora Rangers, Buckie Thistle and Forres Mechanics before coming to Melbourne. Mornington senior coach Adam Jamieson has been an admirer of the striker for some time so it’s no surprise that he looks set to end up at Dallas Brooks Park.

Staying put: Langwarrin striker John Kuol has signed on for a second season at Lawton Park. Picture: John Punshon

Orritt, 25, has met with Jamieson and outlined his intentions to play at the highest possible level next season. “I’ve told ‘Jamo’ I want to keep my options open even though I know that Mornington will be an NPL club sooner rather than later,” he said. “I’m good friends with Oakleigh assistant coach Chris Marshall and I’m planning to train there.” Mornington signed Orritt from NZ outfit Coastal Spirit during the 2017 season. He was a junior at English club Rotherham United, had a short spell at Lincoln United then played college football in the US for Limestone College in South Carolina before signing for Scottish club Cowdenbeath in 2015. Orritt set the local scene alight in the back half of the 2017 season and many observers believe he could play at a higher level however visa quotas look certain to play a part in his final destination. Mornington brought Etheridge to Dallas Brooks Park last season. The 28-year-old Englishman had been here previously and had played with Morwell Pegasus, Bentleigh Greens and Kingston City. There is a strong rumour that he’ll end up at Kingston again. Mornington’s annual golf day will be held at Mornington Golf Club on Friday 18 January and will incorporate

a sportsman’s dinner featuring former professional players Michael Bridges, Terry Hennessey, Doug Hodgson and Nathan Peel. An auction of current and historic soccer memorabilia will be held in the evening. Former Mornington specialist coach and local goalkeeping legend Peter Blasby has accepted an offer from Croatian-backed NPL club Dandenong City to become its goalkeeping coach. Blasby and Dandenong head coach Zeljko Kuzman met last week and thrashed out a deal which will initially see Blasby holding two sessions a week with the senior and under-20 keepers. Blasby is keen to develop the role and work with the club’s junior NPL keepers. Dandenong’s sister club Melbourne Knights named its team of the century in 2003 as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations and Blasby was selected in goal. He has been held in high regard by the Croatian community for some time and regularly shuns overtures from Knights who are based in Melbourne’s western suburbs. Dandenong City heads to South Australia later this month to play a friendly match against Adelaide Croatia Raiders. In State 2 South-East news Penin-

sula Strikers have invited expressions of interest for the reserves coaching position. The successful applicant will work with a predominantly under-23 squad and must have prior coaching experience, good communicative skills and either hold or be willing to attain a Clevel coaching licence. Applicants can email Marty Sutherland at president@peninsulastrikers. com and applications close at 5pm on Monday 19 November. In State 4 South news getting Langwarrin midfielder Jonny Guthrie to Baxter Park may be the key to luring back midfielder Matt Morgan, who is keen to play alongside Guthrie. Morgan left Baxter midway through last season and joined Hampton Park United but that club has been plagued with administrative upheaval and it’s understood that he is keen to move. He already has been targeted by Skye United but Baxter remains firmly on his radar. Baxter brothers Owen and Liam Kilner have been the subject of recent rumours linking them with a switch to Dandenong Warriors who were hoping to sign their father and former Baxter gaffer Roy Kilner as head coach. Owen Kilner made it clear that he won’t be heading in that direction. “I certainly won’t be playing for Dandenong Warriors and at this point in time I’m playing for Baxter,” he said. “I’m pretty keen to see what [new coach] George Hughes brings to the club because he seems very ambitious and makes it quite clear what he wants to achieve.” Late on Sunday news emerged that Roy Kilner had accepted an offer to work alongside Gavin Ithier at Baxter’s State 4 rival Sandown Lions. “Imagine if the opening game of the season was Baxter versus Sandown. Now that would be nice,” Roy Kilner said. “As for Owen and Liam I expect them to remain at Baxter.” In State 5 South news Somerville Eagles have outdone a couple of lo-

cal clubs by snapping up experienced midfielder Will O’Brien from Frankston Pines. He becomes the ambitious club’s fourth off-season signing and it’s believed midfielder Daniel Hodge will be next as Somerville builds a strong senior squad for its title tilt in 2019. New joint senior coach Scott Morrison was instrumental in signing striker Mark Pagliarulo, midfielder Carlo Cardoso, defender/winger Callum Richardson and O’Brien and his relationship with Hodge from their Rosebud Heart days looks set to secure his signature. Director of coaching Zach Peddersen says that the influx of new players may not end there. “We expect another three to four players from other local clubs to attend pre-season training,” Peddersen said. “We’ve lost Damien Finnegan from the senior squad due to work commitments but he is coaching our fourths in the Bayside League and all other players have committed to returning.” Somerville’s coaching staff consists of star striker David Greening (playercoach), Morrison (joint coach), Stan Packer (assistant coach and youth development coach), Stuart Mitchell (goalkeeping coach), Thomas MorrisThomas (reserves coach), Paul Robinson (thirds coach) and Finnegan. The club also agreed terms last weekend with Maddy Boyd as playercoach of its women’s team. Boyd has been involved with the TOPSA program at Peninsula Grammar and is a lightning-quick striker with great goal sense. Somerville’s academy program has been going for four weeks and Pagliarulo has been training with the squad before pre-season gets underway in earnest for the seniors. “Pags” is rumoured to have failed a body fat test which prompted him joining in with the academy squad and he claims he already has lost four kilograms. The shire council has put up fencing at Tyabb Central Reserve and Somerville has bought a food van, portable showers and a 20-seater bus as its gears up for next season. A recent meeting with the state Member for Hastings, Neale Burgess, went well and the main topics of discussion were the currently prohibitive costs for using Somerville Secondary College as a training and playing venue and the prospects of acquiring land on which to develop a permanent facility.

Smart filly salutes for Laurie By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based racehorse trainer, Matt Laurie, topped off Kennedy Oaks day at Flemington on a high as his talented filly, Bleu Roche, saluted in the last event on the card. The three-year-old daughter of Fastnet Rock saw the Flemington straight for the first time and scored a narrow but tough victory against her own age and sex in the $200,000 Group Three World Horse Racing Roses Stakes (1100m) on Thursday 8 November. The up-and-coming filly held off a wall of horses with the Clinton McDonald-trained filly, Causeway Girl, and the Lee Curtis-trained Meryl both being beaten by just under a head for second and third, respectively. Trainer Matt Laurie said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited with what lays ahead for his talented filly.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought she was a pretty good horse,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her run the other day at Moonee Valley was enormous so I started to get a little bit worried that maybe sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d spent everything 10 days ago, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backed that up with a really great performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was her fourth start in her first prep and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now a group winning filly, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot to look forward to.â&#x20AC;? When looking at where Bleu Roche would head to next, Laurie hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite put his finger on an exact race but said it would likely be one of high quality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is on the card,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re flying.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously a class filly and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be looking at some pretty smart races [with her].â&#x20AC;?

Matt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He rode pretty smart and did what he had to do to keep the win. He had a minor stack in practise, but he came home safe, so he was pretty happy with himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He keeps a fair bit to himself, but he obviously gets a good buzz out of it and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the main thing. No matter the result, as

long as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enjoying it and having fun then all is well.â&#x20AC;? Ty finished the series with a 37-point margin over the rest of his competitors. While the season is over, Matt said his son, Ty, will still undoubtably be zipping around their property on his minibike.

Despite having a lower handicap, Riali said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still be in it to win it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m definitely going to give it a good crack,â&#x20AC;? he said.
