Hastings is ‘Australia’s top town’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au HASTINGS has been named Australia’s most sustainable community in this year’s Australian Sustainable Communities – Tidy Towns Awards.

Beginning in 1990 as a way of recognising pride, cohesion and action by members of the community, the awards now focus on sustainability to reflect the growing importance of community-led environmental action.

As well as the top award, Hastings also won four of the nine individual categories in the awards held Friday 3 September.

The Dame Phyllis Frost Litter Prevention award went to two Hastings entries: The I Sea I Care Marine Ambassador Program and the A Team. Both programs empower young people to become environmental leaders in litter reduction and management, as well as promoting behavioural change in the broader community.

I sea I care, started by the Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute, has grown from 25 schools in 2011 to almost 100. It is made possible with help from Parks Victoria, Melbourne Water and Mornington Peninsula Shire.

The A Team, made up of VCAL students aged 15-17, identified numerous social and environmental issues impacting Hastings and tackled littering and illegal dumping in a reserve and playgrounds.

The Heritage and Culture award joint winner was Rap4Rap project.

Mornington Peninsula Shire commissioned the project when developing its Reconciliation Action Plan. The aim was to develop a rap promoting young Indigenous and non-Indigenous voices around Reconciliation and to raise awareness of the positive Indigenous perspective on the peninsula. A diverse bunch of talented young people teamed up with Indigenous Hip Hop Project to develop the lyrics.

The Young Legends award (individual winner) was Harrison Hansen, of Westernport Secondary College. He has mentored Year 3 and 4 students in their transition to secondary schooling, supported school community initiatives, and run the Year 7 Camp.

est award (joint winner with Narrogin, Western Australia) was made after the Mallacoota evacuation in early 2020.

Emergency and welfare agencies helped transport 4000 people from Mallacoota beach during the devastating 2020 bushfires. The shire collaborated with the military, Victoria Police, SES, CFA, Red Cross, Victorian Council of Churches Emergencies Ministry and the RSPCA in the exercise which helped bring in more than

1000 people and 150 pets by sea.

“I am so proud of how well Hastings has done in what has been a very difficult year for everyone,” Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Despi O’Connor said. Cerberus Ward’s Cr Lisa Dixon said she was “thrilled Hastings has been recognised for the strength of its community and its volunteer spirit”.

“I can’t help but feel a warm glow of pride that the beauty and amenity of our town and its

strong community spirit have been recognised on the national stage,” she said.

The Keep Australia Beautiful organisation, which runs the awards, said the Hastings community “works tirelessly to maintain its unique area as a pristine ecological and sustainable hub, at the same time honouring and respecting its Indigenous past and rising to the challenge of providing aid to those facing a natural disaster”.

Animals celebrate Moonlit’s anniversary MOONLIT Sanctuary, Pearcedale, celebrates its 20th anniversary this week, and what better way to celebrate a birthday than with cake?

With lockdown in place, it is the animals’ turn to celebrate on Friday, 17 September.

Keepers will be serving up “cakes” for koalas, dingoes, wombats and emu to mark two decades of bringing people and wildlife together.

“The animals are in for a real treat”, life sciences manager Lisa Tuthill said. “Whether made of sweet potato, meat or insects, birthday cakes can serve as a great source of nutritional and behavioural enrichment.”

Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park grew from the childhood dreams of Michael Johnson who imagined a place where people could experience and appreciate the rare and unusual animals that roam the bush.

The sanctuary was established by the Johnson family on 10-hectares of what was a farm and pony club. Now it is home to more than 400 animals representing 70 species.

The sanctuary initially ran night tours to the public, hence the name Moonlit Sanctuary. The lantern-lit tours were reportedly declared “magical”, and word grew about this opportunity to get up close and personal

to nocturnal wildlife that few visitors had ever seen.

In 2007, the sanctuary began opening during the day, increasing the number of animals and recording 80,000 visitors a year. Before COVID-19 closures, the sanctuary was seeing about 150,000 visitors annually and it is still proving to be a favourite day out.

“We are honouring this major milestone and are grateful to the community who helped us get there,” Mr Johnson said. “We are elated to be celebrating our role in connecting people with wildlife since the sanctuary first opened 20 years ago.” Stephen Taylor

COVID driving down to the peninsula Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A DROMANA school was last week declared a COVID-19 Tier 1 exposure site and closed for deep cleaning.

It is believed a contractor who visited Peninsula Specialist College, in Old White Hill Road, introduced the virus, Wednesday 8 September.

The mayor Cr Despi O’Connor said schools – especially special schools – were always at risk: “These are vulnerable kids, and their teachers can’t always wear masks because of the [children’s] disabilities. Hopefully no other cases will erupt.”

Other recent Tier 1 sites on the peninsula were BM Hall Kitchens and Cabinets, Progress Street, Mornington and Alpass and Associates in Suffolk Street, Rosebud.

The infections came as visitors reportedly flocked to the peninsula in spite of the Chief Health Officer’s regulations banning travel of more than five kilometres.

One disgruntled short-stay accommodation provider says rental booking sites are “flouting the law by advertising hundreds of properties for rent despite the supposed lockdown”.

The provider, who asked not to be named, said their business had lost thousands [of dollars] in missed bookings because they were obeying the law while their competitors were “getting away with it”.

The COVID-19 restriction checker website says: “Accommodation is closed, except for permitted reasons. Private and public gatherings

are not allowed. No new bookings can be made, unless for a permitted reason, such as someone who requires accommodation as an authorised worker.”

The provider sent The News screenshots “illustrating the problem that has continued unchecked over 200 days and six lockdowns”.

“Compliant accommodation providers, like ourselves, have closed during all lockdowns and refunded guests all booking fees. No new bookings are allowed so there’s no availability except for essential workers. Like so many businesses we have lost thousands.”

However, they claimed it was common knowledge some “tourists” were ignoring the stay-athome rules.

Online booking sites, such as Booking.com, Expedia and Wotif, all listed properties last week, with one even warning prospective guests: “If you change or cancel your booking you will not get a refund or credit to use for a future stay. This policy will apply regardless of COVID-19, subject to any local consumer laws.”

Another property was offering rooms for more than $1000 a night. “What essential worker is likely to pay that money for a room for the night … this is pure opportunism and illegal,” the provider said.

“We have tried raising the issue with council and Victoria Police. The council handpasses to VicPol despite enjoying the revenue from permits from each accommodation provider. Revenue minus responsibility equals extra potential to spread the virus on the peninsula.”

“Victoria Police resources are already stretched

and, yes, they will take names of businesses breaking COVID-19 rules, but only one at a time.

“Surely, with all these operators trading illegally in plain sight, the council has an obligation to act for the benefit of the ratepayers who are trying to comply for the common good – despite the mental and financial stress of this extraordinary time.”

The shire says it has “no role in enforcing the Chief Health Officer’s directives”.

“We regulate short stay rentals through a permit system pursuant to our local law, but it is designed to control noise and other amenity issues,” it said in a statement.

The mayor Cr Despi O’Connor said the shire was continually “pushing back” against people moving down for a short break. “It’s frustrating and it’s against the law,” she said.

“The police are using scanners and number plate recognition technology against these people because our biggest risk is having them come here from Melbourne thinking they can do as they want.”

Cr O’Connor said the “high level of entitlement of Melburnians thinking they can just drive down to holiday on the peninsula – when we have a school that’s been infected – is unfair and makes me angry.”

Victoria Police said it “works closely with short-term rental providers, including throughout the coronavirus pandemic, to minimise the potential for high-risk bookings to occur”.

“Anyone who has booked a short-term rental, and plans to cause trouble or break the law, can expect a swift and firm response from police.”

Hardship relief

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council will extend its financial hardship policy until at least 28 February 2022.

The policy, moved at its 7 September meeting, will apply to all rateable properties and debtors who apply for relief.

The council also agreed not to raise interest on any outstanding balances for ratepayers and debtors until that date.

Revenue business support coordinator Ros Humphrey told councillors that having regard to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Victorian Ombudsman’s report, the rates hardship policy had been reviewed with added information around exceptional circumstances and the waiving of rates.

Ms Humphrey said with rate revenue accounting for 78 per cent of the shire’s income, any non-payment would seriously impact on the council’s cash flow and ability to provide services.

“The importance for council to continue to support the community is paramount,” she said.

“To ensure services can still be provided at the level required, it is important to encourage payment of rates in some form.

“Council’s preference is to not waive rates or charges on the basis it is considered inequitable for most ratepayers to subsidise the property assets of hardship applicants.

“A more equitable solution for the entire community is to defer rates and charges.

“However, council will consider waiving or reducing rates for certain ratepayers for their principal place of residence, where exceptional circumstances are experienced, and where severe financial impact can be demonstrated.”

Ms Humphrey said the policy had been updated to include waiving rates and exceptional circumstances with additional wording around domestic violence where finances may be frozen. bA new, “softer” debt collection format included sending SMS reminders and mildly-worded debt collection letters to “encourage ratepayers to enter into a suitable payment arrangement”.

NEWS DESK Water plan aims for sustainable future

Nominations open for A-Day Awards

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has invited community feedback on its approach to planning and managing water in the face of climate change and population growth.

With the green wedge covering 70 per cent of its land area and 192 kilometres of coastline, water and land management plays an important role in the peninsula’s community, economy and environment.

The draft integrated water management plan aims to enhance the peninsula’s water supplies by using alternative water resources, such as rainwater and stormwater, to irrigate and drought proof green open spaces; protect the health of waterways, wetlands and bays; reduce flood risks; increase sewerage connections and improve septic management; connect people with waterways, wetlands and green spaces, and use recycled water in agriculture.

The draft plan aims to address climate change, urbanisation, population growth, greater demands for food and changing land use. It aims to bring together the shire, partners in water management, and communities, in overcoming challenges in line with local and state government directions.

“Climate change, population growth and urbanisation are presenting challenges to water management,” the mayor Cr Despi O’Connor said. “Through our draft integrated water management plan we’re aiming to take on the challenges ahead to make sure our peninsula is thriving, healthy and resilient.”

Community consultation closes Sunday 17 October.

JULIE Saunders earned the Mornington Peninsula 2021 Citizen of the Year Award partly for her role in cooking, packing and delivering three-course meals to around 60 needy households every Wednesday. She and a group of dedicated volunteers made 1200 meals which were delivered to mainly older residents during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Ms Saunders also acts as an IP, or independent person. This voluntary position administered by the Department of Justice involves making herself available 24/7 to assist 12-17-year-olds who have been arrested. When a parent or guardian is not available an IP sits with that person to help them through the interview.

She is a committee member for many local clubs and a keen historian writing several books on the history of Crib Point.

Nominations for next year’s Australia Day awards, including community event of the year, are now open.

“These awards are a wonderful opportunity to value a member of our community who has gone over and above in these difficult times,” the mayor Cr Despi O’Connor said. “If you’ve consistently put others ahead of yourself, served tirelessly and made a difference in our community, you can be nominated and recognised.”

Other 2021 winners were Young Citizen of the Year Phoebe McShane; Community Event of the Year, Senior’s High Tea (Mary Budd); Community Spirit Award Josie D’Alia; Lifetime Achievement Award Michael Wunderly; and Lifetime Achievement Award Colin Blythe.

Nominations close Friday 5 November.

Community Bank • Balnarring & District

Making good things happen In 1998 a new type of bank came onto the scene. Bendigo Bank’s Community Bank branches were a bold move by a regional bank.

Today there are over 300 Community Bank branches who not only provide banking and financial services, they have a unique point of difference – they share their profit with their community.

To date more than $250 million has been pumped back into Australian communities by Community Bank branches.

“Here in Balnarring we have taken the vision for a locally-owned and operated bank and turned it into a reality, financially supporting hundreds of community groups, organisations and initiatives over the past 13 years,” said Community Bank Chair, Heather Goddard.

“Thanks to the support of our shareholders, branch staff, company board and customers, we are now one of the biggest sources of community funding in the district.”

Community Bank Balnarring & District has donated more than $2 million to local community initiatives like: • Balnarring Civic Court Development ($50,000) • Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club Kitchen Refurbishment ($47,000) • Merricks Coolart Catchment Landcare Group Balnarring to the Bay Biolink & Koala Corridor ($20,000) • Western Port Community Support Centre Housing & Homelessness Program ($30,000), plus hundreds of other local projects and contributions.

You may not think who you bank with matters. But it does. Our customers are making a real difference by choosing us.

Their home loans are helping to build community infrastructure. Personal loans, business banking and credit cards are funding rescue boats, defibrillators, environmental projects and sports facilities.

So if you need help with your banking, speak to Branch Manager, Greg Hood.

Greg can meet you when and where it suits; at the branch, over the phone, or via video call.

Together you can talk about your goals and how to make them happen.

Toys say welcome

Pole batteries

MOVED by recent distressing news out of Afghanistan, the Southern Metro Region Multicultural Liaison Unit joined other agencies to help put a smile on the faces of Afghan children recently arrived in Australia to begin their new lives. Many are said to have arrived with “absolutely nothing”.

Toys and activities donated by the emergency service sector will help the children get through quarantine and assimilation into Victoria.

The unit thanked the Australian Federal Police, Blue Ribbon Foundation, Country Fire Authority, Fire Rescue Victoria, VICSES and the Dandenong and District Aborigines CoOperative for donations.

COMMUNITY batteries each able to power up to 280 homes could be installed across the peninsula as part of a $150,000 Neighbourhood Battery Initiative.

It is part of a feasibility study being developed

by United Energy and financed by the state government. It aligns with the views of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and community energy and greenhouse alliance groups across Victoria.

Work on the study will begin this year and be completed in 2022.

Determining the best locations for the onground batteries will take in factors such as the community benefits and local power demand and constraints.

United Energy general manager Mark Clarke said the study would “bring together network engineers and communities to collaborate and explore the potential of installing community batteries at scale”.

“By combining this work across so many different groups and different council areas we can be much more efficient and create a better understanding of how community batteries can best support our customers,” Mr Clarke said.

The larger batteries would allow homeowners to export excess rooftop solar, mitigate the need for costly network upgrades and reduce greenhouse emissions, Mr Clarke said.

Mornington Peninsula Shire is one of 12 councils and groups involved in United Energy’s community battery feasibility study.

Electric Avenue program The study will complement the company's installation of 40 smaller batteries on power poles, nicknamed the Electric Avenue program, over the next 18 months.

The 30kW batteries will each have the capacity to service up to 75 homes. They will be 3.6 metres above ground on standard poles and support 50-75 homes nearby with reliable stored energy for two hours at a time.

Several sites are earmarked on the peninsula, which is prone to strong demand over short durations, especially on hot days in the holidays.

Charges over property TWO men have been arrested over a series of burglaries and thefts on the Mornington Peninsula.

Somerville CIU detectives with help from Rosebud police and the frontline tasking unit arrested the men after $21,500 in allegedly stolen property was found at Tootgarook and Rye properties.

A 29-year-old Tootgarook man and 42-yearold Rye man were charged with a variety of offences.

The Rye man was bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrates’ Court on 10 February charged with theft from a motor vehicle, theft of a bicycle, handling stolen goods, possessing property believed to be the proceeds of crime, and possessing methyl-amphetamine.

The Tootgarook man appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court last week charged with three counts of burglary, three counts of handling stolen goods, theft of a motor vehicle as well as theft from a motor vehicle, criminal damage, persistently breaching an intervention order, dealing in property believed to be the proceeds of crime, and failing to answer bail. He further remanded to a date to be fixed.

Detective Senior Sergeant Eddie Lagonder described the arrests as a “good result”.

Making a noise about extinctions A PETITION presented to the Victorian Legislative Council on Tuesday 7 September by Victorian Greens leader Dr Samantha Ratnam aiming to protect eastern grey kangaroos coincided with National Threatened Species Day. Founder of the Peninsula Kangaroos group Craig Thompson said talking about potential local extinctions was “society’s best chance at stopping a species from becoming threatened”.

“I know many people will not associate the eastern grey kangaroo with being threatened, but there are a number of points to consider,” Mr Thompson said, adding that all threatened species had one thing in common at one point: they were once common or plentiful in number.

“Victoria to this date has never recovered a threatened fauna species,” he said.

“Extinction is silent and the start of this process is local extinction and this is why the e-petition has been created about eastern grey kangaroos on the Mornington Peninsula.”

Mr Thompson, who is also director, Wildlife Ecosystems Retention and Restoration, said early settlers reported kangaroos in great numbers at many locations, including Point Nepean, Sorrento, Tootgarook swamp, Dromana and Safety Beach and Sandy Point.

He said it was not known when kangaroos disappeared from these places and became isolated populations, but it was probably the late 1970s to early 1980s.

“I and other local experts, like Mal Legg, estimate eastern grey populations to be 1500-2500 on the peninsula,” Mr Thompson said.

“Residents who have started their own counts have verified our estimates, with the counts to continue.

“Taking into account the 50/500 rule – a basic mathematical equation for species population viability – and then having two methods for landholders to use lethal controls to shoot kangaroos, the ATCW (authority to control wildlife)

and the KHP (kangaroo harvesting program), the capacity for the local extinction of eastern grey kangaroos on the peninsula could happen in the blink of an eye.”

The 50/500 rule contends that a minimum population size of 50 is necessary to combat inbreeding and a minimum of 500 individuals is needed to reduce genetic drift.

“The introduction of the kangaroo harvest program in Victoria is largely - and erroneously - based on creating sustainable populations of kangaroos,” Mr Thompson said.

“This is one of the saddest jokes being pushed when there are 25,000 holiday homes on the Mornington peninsula - more than 10 times the

number of kangaroos - which are vacant for most of the year.”

Mr Thompson said National Threatened Species Day was designed to raise awareness of threatened species and stop extinction. The date chosen was the date the last Tasmanian tiger was shot as it was perceived to be a pest by agriculturalists.

He said the two permit systems to allow the shooting of kangaroos worked on the same basis that saw the extinction of the Tasmanian tiger.

“As politicians around the nation hold cute orphaned or captive wildlife we can ask: What is it that these politicians have learnt about extinction?”

Rethinking the value of community gardens IT comes too late to save Greg Merlo’s community garden, but Mornington Peninsula Shire seems to have turned a new leaf in its appreciation of roadside vegetable and flower plots.

The Balnarring resident, 82, became a local hero last year when he turned a vacant public walkway into a productive haven where neighbours could pick their own vegetables, chat with neighbours and learn about plants – until council workmen laid it bare (“Red tape crushes a ‘community’ garden” The News 16/8/21).

But the penny seems to have dropped, with the council at its 30 August meeting adopting Cr David Gill’s idea to begin promoting discussion and listening to community views on roadside gardens on nature strips in residential areas.

The idea is to “learn more about the issues and concerns and take guidance on community attitudes to improving our streetscapes and ensuring environmentally friendly outcomes” for residents.

A policy will be developed that will include the normal consultation and feedback process.

The shire’s natural systems team leader Simon Thorning told council the move was in line with an officers’ plan to develop a policy for private works on nature strips and road reserves, which would consider other green infrastructure and their role in future-proofing towns and villages to climate change.

Mr Thorning recommended that officers develop background information and assess ways for residents to get involved, including through a questionnaire. Background information could include details about urban greening and explore the different ways of thinking about the urban environment, including nature strips, and reference relevant existing council policies.

Cr Gill also successfully moved an urgent review of the shire’s policies for private works on nature strips and reserves and community gardens to clarify the council’s position in regard to the planning of communal edible gardens on nature strips and reserves within residential areas.

The issue will be referred to the policy councillor consultative group before 14 October.

NEWS DESK Suicide concerns THE Mornington Peninsula and Frankston are considered self-harm “hot spots” with some of the highest suicide rates in Melbourne.

The startling finding was revealed in the recent Royal Mental Health Commission report which highlighted the two local government areas as being “in particular need of mental health assistance, support and consideration”.

World Suicide Prevention Day was Saturday 11 September.

Free counselling service for young people Left and Right Counselling CEO Daniel Lennon said one in four Australians aged 12-25 reportedly struggled with mental health problems.

“Throughout the pandemic, demand for mental health support among young people has reached an all-time high,” he said.

“Self-harm and non-suicidal self-injury numbers are increasing, and crisis lines such as Lifeline are experiencing record demand.

“Mental health services are at capacity all over and we are experiencing record numbers of referrals throughout the local area as young people seek support.”

Mr Lennon said continued lockdowns were “exacerbating underlying issues” among young people, such as tension at home, reduced access to coping mechanisms and social support, and a loss of independence.

“The longer the lockdowns continue, the greater the need for mental health support,” he said. “The wait time in the area for a young person to receive mental health support is currently three to six months.”

He said the free counselling service, based in Frankston, was “working hard to provide desperately needed assistance to young people”.

“Organisations like ours need continued support, funding and assistance to meet increased demand,” he said.

“The wellbeing and mental health of young people requires a joint local community and state solution. These are unprecedented times, and they require an unprecedented response.

Numbers are up: The COVID-19 screening clinic team at the Frankston Hospital campus drive and walk through testing site.

Testing reaches new milestone MORE than a quarter of a million people have been tested at Peninsula Health’s COVID-19 screening clinics since the first swab was taken in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region 18 months ago.

The milestone was reached on Thursday 2 September at the health service’s drive and walk through testing site, on the old tennis courts next to Frankston Hospital.

Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula now have some of the highest testing rates in Victoria.

Dozens of staff – including nurses, allied health, ward clerks, security guards and traffic controllers – have run permanent and temporary locations.

The mobile team has covered hundreds of kilometres since the onset of the pandemic, manning testing sites from Seaford to Portsea.

COVID-19 screening clinics operations director Jodi Foley said the community had done an “amazing job” getting tested, whether it be at

the earliest sign of symptoms or attending a new exposure site.

“We are so proud of the efforts from everyone in Frankston and right across the peninsula who continue to come forward for a test,” she said.

“Our capacity has significantly increased since we started this work just over a year and a half ago, with the scaling up of our equipment and workforce now able to take up to 2000 coronavirus tests a day.” Swab test results were available in less than 24 hours.

“We know COVID-19 is moving throughout metropolitan Melbourne and parts of regional Victoria through community transmission but we only know of these locally acquired infections through ongoing testing,” operations executive director Helen Cooper said.

“Be aware of the most common coronavirus symptoms, including fever, chills or sweats, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny

Housing for the Peninsula

Applications open Fire Management Contractors List 2021/22 Mornington Peninsula Shire invites applications from local contractors to be considered for our fire management contractor list.

The Shire inspects private land for fire hazards in the leadup to summer and during the declared fire danger period.

Where a fire hazard is identified, landowners are sent a fire prevention notice issued either under the Country Fire Authority Act 1958 or the Fire Rescue Victoria Act 1958 to remove the fire hazard by a specified date.

To assist owners with carrying out the work, the Shire includes a fire management contractor list with each fire prevention notice. The list will also be published on the Shire’s website.

Work required can include slashing grass and weed or vegetation removal.

Contractors must follow COVIDSafe practices and State Government advice around COVID-19 restrictions.

Applications close 5pm Friday 17 September 2021 To apply and learn more visit: mornpen.vic.gov.au/fmc

nose or loss of sense of smell.”

Ms Cooper said it was important for the community to remain vigilant by staying on top of exposure sites.

“We have seen a number of Tier 1 and Tier 2 exposure sites recently in and around our region, including Rosebud, Carrum Downs and Seaford,” she said.

“We ask everyone to regularly check the Department of Health website and our Facebook page for updates, to see when additional exposure sites have been published online. Importantly, please follow the health advice.

“With community transmission occurring, we would like to remind our entire community that the most effective way to reduce transmission is to wear a mask, practice hand hygiene and maintain appropriate physical distance from others.”

Have your say on amendment C219morn.

The amendment proposes to make major changes to zones, overlays and policies in the Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme.

The amendment is required to: • Ensure the neighbourhood character of the Peninsula’s residential areas is protected and enhanced as the population grows •

Speed up the application process so more construction projects for one dwelling on a lot can continue without needing a planning permit.

Strengthening neighbourhood character requirements in the Planning Scheme will ensure future development reflects the preferred character of our residential areas.

BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS

SEVEN, 7pm

When times are tough, a spot of DIY does everyone a world of good. There’s something exhilarating about using your hands and attempting to construct something that you have no skill level in – or really any clue about – that breeds feelgood adrenaline. You’ll likely never make the super-chic, minimalist Skandi bedside table that Adam Dovile joyfully whips up here, but witnessing him steadfastly build it is satisfying.

That’s one of the reasons the nation loves BH&G: it’s endlessly optimistic … and Karen Martini’s recipes can’t be beat.

LION

SBS WORLD MOVIES, 5.20pm

Based on the memoir of Indian-born Australian Saroo Brierley, Lion tells the tale of Saroo, an Indian boy who gets lost on the streets of Calcutta and must try to survive before being adopted by a loving Australian family. Twenty-five years later, he sets out to find his lost family with the help of a small store of memories. Starring Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) as Saroo, Nicole Kidman, David Wenham and Rooney Mara, this film is powerful and heartfelt.

From the director of Blue Valentine comes this melodrama spanning 15 years, starring Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, along with Bradley Cooper and Ben Mendelsohn.

Mysterious Luke (Gosling) is a motorcycle stuntman who, upon returning to New York, discovers he has fathered a son with ex-lover Romina (Mendes). Running almost two-and-a-half hours, this epic film has a dreamy feel.

Land ownership questions are appropriate, not racist It’s amazing how people use racism as an accusation when they want to hurt someone or avoid discussion. Perhaps it’s quite true sometimes, but the word gets tossed around inappropriately on many occasions.

As the saying goes “just when I thought I had heard it all”.

A representative of the people in local government accuses another that love of our country and land is somehow racist when we ask the question “what parts and how much of the Mornington Peninsula is foreign owned”. Just how much of our backyard belongs to another country?

It is extremely important when that country could be China, a communist country where the people have no human rights.

What is more amazing is that some agreed with this notion.

It seems obvious to me that lack of love and respect for one’s country could be an indication of lack of knowledge of my country’s history and the sacrifices of so many to keep us safe.

The word ignorance comes to mind .

What does the word “traitor “ mean? Bit harsh.

Disloyalty may be a softer word.

The next Mornington Peninsula Shire Council elections cannot come around soon enough.

Perhaps my fellow voters will be more discerning next time .

God Bless Australia and all who love her. The Australian Olympians were a perfect example of love and pride for one’s country sadly lacking in some local councillors. What a sorry day.

Maureen Sharpe, Bittern

Vaccines are proven It is difficult to know where to start on the antivaxers article about the sad little protest (“Antivaxers moved by fine threat” The News 7/9/21).

The claim that vaccines were untested and didn’t work is patently false. All vaccines have been through full and effective trials. It should be noted that almost everyone dying or in hospital from COVID-19 was either unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated. Masks were somehow going to deprive you of oxygen demonstrates a bewildering ignorance of science. Masks won’t stop gases like oxygen, but they will stop aerosol particles carrying the virus.

Finally, the questions about other treatments like hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin. These are not recommended because they don’t work and are dangerous.

It always puzzles me why anti-vaxers won’t take vaccines but seem happy to inject animal medicines, bizarre really.

Ross Hudson, Mount Martha

Praying for relief Had to chuckle at Cr Anthony Marsh wanting to reduce Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s food and drinks catering budget and redirect the savings to community projects (“Move to trim budget” The News 31/8/21). What about his $8000 director’s course, paid for by the council?

My rates notice includes a $338 levy, a “waste service charge”. It now forms nearly a quarter of the average rate, lumped on top of that rate.

It used to be called a “municipal charge” and started off at $50. Before that, it was “no extra charge” - waste services being part of what we actually pay our rates for.

I think that before council meetings, a prayer for assistance in honesty and ethics might be beneficial (“Prayer shelved, but can be resurrected” The News 7/9/21).

Also, in view of the apparent toxic and hateful relations among councillors, perhaps learn to love thy neighbour. And keep away from Facebook.

The tip is closed to the public because of COVID, but I can’t see why. It’s an essential service that should be open to all residents. I have accumulated rubbish to dump and have twice sighted mice. A lot of people are dumping their rubbish on the nature strip, here and there.

Council sent me a letter inviting me to “have my say” on planning scheme amendment C219morn. I would need to spend agonising hours studying planning and the amendment and the implications, before I could make an informed submission, so I won’t.

In that prayer, above, add “common sense”.

It seems to me that council wants to double or triple the number of dwellings on a house block for high-density housing. Extra rates revenue.

Anti- Mornington character [will be] just another packed slum outer suburb of Melbourne in 2040.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Political event It is very interesting to see [Mornington Peninsula Shire] mayor [Cr Despi O’Connor] and deputy mayor [Cr Sarah Race], who declared their political independence in the council elections both presented at a Labor Party-funded event (“Shire praised as Labor explores climate change” The News 7/9/21).

I’m not sure in what world these so-called “leaders” think presenting in their official roles as mayor and deputy mayor as speakers at a partisan-funded event does not smack of political allegiance. At least Cr Steve Holland declared (the only serving councillor to do so) he was a member of a political party before election.

Interestingly, the [online] event praised the shire for its leadership on climate change, yet both these councillors support the amendment to the planning scheme to allow an extra 1200 houses to be built, including a fair share of these additional houses in Mornington. Mornington is already way over developed but, as a Briars Ward councillor, Cr O’Connor clearly has no problem with this as it isn’t in her backyard. If she actually visited Mornington, Cr O’Connor would see myriad town houses near the shopping centre and the constant for sale signs.

Never mind the aesthetics of how ugly these developments are. It seems she only cares about the suburb where she lives being over developed, hence her vote against many proposals in her area.

Deputy mayor Sarah Race is dreaming if she thinks zero emissions by 2040 is possible with the addition of 1200 dwellings. But again, not in her own backyard. Alina Tooley, Mornington

Shire be praised I take umbrage at letter writers who have condemned Mornington Peninsula Shire Council as “having no ability to achieve anything meaningful”, “dysfunctional rabble” and “having no positive impact upon the lives on the of the broader community”. I challenge these armchair philosophisers to get out of their armchairs, or ivory towers, and do something positive by joining community action groups to see your councillors at work.

As a member of Save Westernport and Crib Point Action Group I have nothing but praise for their commitment and conviction. The role the shire played in stopping AGL’s dirty floating gas factory (FSRU) proposal, that would have ruined the world recognised environment of Western Port, was nothing short of fantastic and resulted in many community members, not long after our victory in March, attending a council meeting to give them a standing ovation.

Other “positive” actions by the council have been: Legal action [and a $26,000 fine] against the Port of Hastings Development Authority for illegally removing native vegetation from the Crib Point foreshore.

Engaging with the community regarding the “Peninsula 2040” survey.

Regularly asking the community for comment on any amount of issues and often holds community Zoom meetings on these issues.

Cerberus Ward councillor Lisa Dixon attends most of the Crib Point Action Group’s monthly meetings and conveys our concerns direct to council.

Taking meaningful action in opposing the dismantling of Flinders pier.

Strongly supporting and is putting into action the use of more renewable sustainable energy to slow down climate change.

I challenge these council knockers to get out of their armchairs and come into to the real world by getting involved in some progressive community action groups and see how positive and meaningful MPSC can be.

Rod Knowles, Crib Point

Democracy failed The mayor and deputy mayor are right to be solicitous of the reputation of Mornington Peninsula Shire. This was not enhanced on 27 July when they, along with a majority of councillors, voted down a practical motion by Cr David Gill for a community space on council land at Balnarring.

They have now justified their action on the basis that Cr Gill refused to accept and put forward an alternative management recommendation (“Shire leaders concerned by ‘groundless allegation’” The News 8/9/21).

Cr Gill has been very effective in using the notice of motion process for the benefit of the community. A councillor is entitled to reject a management alternative so as to have his or her motion debated by council.

As a councillor, I seconded many of Cr Gill’s motions because I believed it is the democratic right of the community to have their concerns – not an emasculated management alternative brought to a debate in council.

Any one of the six opposing councillors could have indicated opposition or moved a variation by way of an amendment and enabled debate but did not do so.

There was no debate on this important community initiative, as correctly reported in The News on 24 August, and it is clear to me that the democratic process failed. Hugh Fraser, Rye

Democracy rules?

Reports continue to convey to long-suffering ratepayers that all is not well on Mornington Peninsula Shire Council (“Toxic culture splits council” The News 31/8/21). Good governance and good faith seem in short supply.

Although live streaming of council meetings may purport to be openly democratic, is it really the case? The degree of hypocrisy is astounding.

Yes, there are some councillors who think good governance is changing standing orders and changing policy on nothing but a whim that suits the purposes of those not wishing to be up front. Whether you like them or not, these longtested procedures have facilitated orderly debate in the past – at all levels of government.

Under trying circumstances for all, it now appears the public did not see open, publicly tested, community-minded platforms before being required to vote in late 2019.

Is there a lack of commitment to the public good? Sneaky introduction of pet personal issues such as abolition of the prayer; demeaning former councillors; invoking the cute notion of playing politics in council (only when it suits); proposing that council pulls in its collective belt when it comes to catering expenses, yet not offering to forego, or at least postpone, a hefty course fee for personal improvement.

Yes, we do need diversity in council, but crass hypocrisy? No thank you. A woke council? No thank you.

As soon as conditions permit, let’s get back to good old-fashioned accountability at public ward councillor meetings as well as personal scrutiny at truly open council meetings.

Don Reeves, Mount Eliza

The setback effect Is the Mornington Peninsula Shire really serious about increasing house and unit property side boundary setbacks to either 2 metres or 3 metres for both single and two storey houses or units and the rear boundary setback to 5 metres for every house or unit property in the municipality which will negatively impact the way house extensions, new houses or units will fit on your land?

These proposed side and rear boundary setbacks [Amendment C219morn] are not mentioned in any documentation provided by council to property owners, which indicates they do not want us to know about them.

To insert a 5 metre rear boundary setback, to every dwelling property in the shire, as a mechanism to insert every dwelling or unit property into the planning scheme, and then the private building surveyor approval process, is a blatant and unethical infringement or use of a property owner’s land and rights. Councillors should be ashamed of voting for the proposed amendments.

I would urge all property owners to look up their own property on the councils’ website to confirm the fate of their own property, (I wish you luck) and to then vigorously object to this proposed amendment as it will in some way eventually effect you (reduced property values,

for starters). Planners and councillors have got this seriously wrong. Paul Millsom, Mc Crae

Independent future The Federal Liberals have become increasingly sensitive to the threat of moderate independent candidates who actually represent citizens and have made a new attack on our democracy, having petitioned the Australian Electoral Commission to investigate independent progressive grassroots initiatives like Voices of Mornington Peninsula (“Voices raise concerns among Liberals” The News 7/9/21).

This is not unlike their assault on progressive groups like GetUp (they have failed in several attempts to shut them down).

Yet never an assault on minatory ideologically motivated neoliberal associations like the Institute of Public Affairs or The Menzies Research Centre.

Coupled with recent legislation that, unfortunately, Labor supported, that a political party must have at least 1500 members to be registered, our democracy is under attack.

We can only expect new legislation to be introduced to ensure that independent candidates are members of the “independent” political party.

Fortunately, we, at least, have the AEC which prevents actions like what is going on in the USA by the Republican (Coalition) state governments to curtail voting rights of people who might vote against them and cause the loss of power.

Operative word: “loss of power” which is the primary concern of both the Coalition government and the Labor opposition. You do not have to travel far to substantiate this when you look at their platforms, their actions, and their voting records. They are in it for themselves not for us.

The only hope for any meaningful change is to start electing independents that we can expect to represent us rather than their political affiliation.

Library for free When the lockdowns first started and Mornington Library closed its doors, some neighbours in my street set up a small lending library. The man built a beautiful, glass fronted cabinet, styled like a brightly coloured. bathing box, stocked it with a few books and a note inviting everyone to borrow and contribute books for others to borrow. The little library started in a small way but very quickly became an outstanding success, with an overflow of books and many, many patrons.

It is located (with council permission) on the corner of Osborne Drive and Helena Street, Mount Martha. This is quite close to my home so I can see just how popular and well patronised our little library is.

It is nice to be able to report something positive for once - instead of all the doom and gloom that we are getting so used to.

Ann Beretka, Mount Martha

Aid to end corruption After helping the Mujahadeen evict Russian soldiers from Afghanistan in 1992, American Congressman Charlie Wilson said “They were glorious, and they changed the world and then we f****d up the end game” in relation to not helping the Afghanistan people rebuild their country.

Afghanistan is once again in that situation.

China and Russia are vying for influence and the country is in economic chaos extenuated by the large emigration of valuable citizens, fleeing for understandable reasons.

If the west does nothing the Taliban’s main and continuing source of income will be exporting opiates and the misery associated with that.

I believe The federal government should consider our international proposal “Link international aid programs to reducing corruption in developing countries” if it does supply aid. It should also be on the condition that girls have the right to an education and women the right to work.

Henry Kelsall, The Sustainable Future Association, Frankston

Waste of money Frankston Council’s proposal for a feasibility study to bring about a one year reduction moving to a net zero emission is not just a corrupt and sickening waste of ratepayers’ money, it is the most ridiculous decision ever made by any Australian council.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston Fire Brigade receives visit Compiled by Cameron McCullough IN connection with his visit to Frankston on 20th June last, Chief Officer Marshall, of the Country Fire Brigades Board, has forwarded the following report to the Frankston brigade.

“This visit was paid specially to test the new water supply which has recently been completed in Frankston, and further, to instruct the members of the brigade who had no previous opportunity of working the water from the hydrant.

There was a full muster of the brigade, and everything was ready for a test of the water at a fire plug close to the railway station, when I arrived.

Using the hose reel, which is rather heavy and antiquated, we ran out 100ft. of hose, and (a) through a ¾ inch nozzle a fine stream was thrown horizontally, 110ft; (b) with 100ft. from each side of the hydrant, two streams, each 80ft. were thown, and (c) utilisng the Y coupling, two streams were also.thrown, each a distance of 80ft.

These tests were eminently satisfactory, the volume and pressure being good enough to cope with any fire that is likely to occur within the water area of Frankston.

I gave the men instruction in the proper method of coiling hose on to the drum, and I proved to their satisfaction that underoiling was the proper method to be followed with this particular make of hose reel.

Since the establishment of this brigade, close on 30 years ago, and up to the present time, the only fighting appliance available was the small manual engine, which on numerous occasions

did good work.

As Frankston has now one of the best reticulated supplies in the State, the members of the brigade will have an opportunity of pitting themselves against the more experienced brigades in this class of work at our annual demonstrations.

To achieve success, however, earnest and regular practice must be adhered to and systematically carried out under the guidance of the Captain and his sub-officers.

To give them a reasonable chance of success, by placing them on an equal footing with other brigades in their own class regards appliances, it will be necessary that local support be forthcoming to provide the brigade with an up-to-date hose reel and other equipment. *** MRS Barclay, of “Osborne,” Frankston, has gone on a holiday visit to Geelong. *** A MEETING of the Frankston H. & A. Association will be held next Monday night. *** IT is understood that Brigadier General (Senator) Elliott has promised to unveil the Honor Board in the Methodist Church, Frankston, on September 25th. *** A MEETING of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joinners will be held at the Naval Base, Crib Point, next Friday night, to authorise and submit a dispute to the Arbitration Court. *** MR Battye, of Hastings, who recently had his wrist seriously lacerated

through being caught in a cog-wheel, is being treated at St Vincent’s Hospital.

The hand was almost severed from the wrist. *** MR J. L. Pratt announces in today’s issue that he has purchased the wellknown grocery business for so long carried on by Mr and Mrs Donald in Young Street, Frankston.

Mr Pratt announces that he proposes reducing prices to what may be termed anti-profiteering level. *** MR L. J. Ward, secretary of the Peninsula State Schools Association, has made arrangements for the combined Peninsula schools’ picnic to the Zoological Gardens on Friday November 25th.

The Director (Mr Le Souef) has been interviewed and has promised to place the principal keeper at the disposal of the children and show them around.

The distinguished Director himself has promised to give the teachers and parents an opportunity of viewing his private collection, whilst he will also give a short lecture on wild animal and bird life. *** THE blind vocalist, Mr Suttcliffe, of the Royal Victorian Blind Institute, will be one of the principal artists at next Friday night’s Scotch concert.

Miss Dorathea Macmaster recently gave a recital to the inmates of the Institute, and she was so delighted with Mr Suttcliffe’s vocal numbers that, on her suggestion, he was immediately engaged by the committee.

It may be added that Mr Hedger,

Superintendent of the Institute, thinks one of the best ways of assisting the Institute is to give its blind musicians opportunities to appear on the ordinary concert platform. *** THE Roman Catholic Church authorities propose erecting a fine convent at Hastings at an early date.

Plans have been drawn out, and the Rev. Father O’Hagan anticipates the cost will run into £1500.

The building, which will be erected alongside the School of the Immaculate Conception, will, when completed, in all probability be opened by the Archbishop of Melbourne. *** ONE of the oldest established businesses in Frankston has been sold to a member of one of the oldest families.

This is Ritchie’s Stores in Bay Street, the purchaser being Mrs V. Wells.

This store, for so long carried on by Mrs Deane, was established over half a century ago – in 1870 to be precise – by the late Mr Thomas Ritchie, and afterwards carried on by his son, exCr Thomas Ritchie, now, residing at “Ramsdale,” Mornington.

Mrs Wells proposes re-stocking the store, and hopes thereby to increase patronage by supplying the best at reasonable prices.

The wine and spirit department will be, as usual, conducted by Mrs Deane. *** QUITE a jovial gathering took place at the Naval Base, Westernport, on Thursday last, when the anniversary of the opening of the naval base was celebrated in right royal style.

WHAT’S NEW...

The Ritchies Story THOMAS Ritchie was born in 1834 on the Isle of Man, United Kingdom.

On November 25th 1851 he sailed from London, bound for Melbourne on the ship Isabella Watson.

The voyage took 117 days. The ship collided with Corsair Rock near Point Nepean at the heads of Port Phillip Bay and Thomas was one of the survivors (minus his cargo of shoes bound for the goldfields).

He moved to the small fishing village of Frankston in 1854 and married Margaret Kennedy in June 1856. In 1863, Thomas and Margaret Ritchie’s four children were lost in a house fire, only the baby Rose survived thanks to the local farmers who came to her rescue as the roof caved in. Thomas and Maggie never forgot this support from their community.

The Start Of Something Special In 1870, Thomas Ritchie established the first Ritchies grocery store in Bay Street (now Nepean Highway), Frankston. Ritchies was granted their first liquor licence in 1873.

On 15th September 1907, Thomas passed away aged 73 and his daughter Rose became the face of Ritchies from this point on. In 1928

PAGE 14

Western Port News

Rose retired and sold the Ritchies store to Melville Tomasetti.

On October 9, 1933 Melville moved the business across the road to 457 Nepean Highway, Frankston.

Nelson and Elsie Morris, good friends with Mr Tomasetti, took over the lease of Ritchies Stores in 1945. Ritchies first full self-service supermarket opened in 1956 in Thompson Street, Frankston.

The Modern Era In December 1971, Ritchies entered the modern era when a young supermarket professional Barry Cameron purchased the business. His family remain the major shareholders to this day, along with many staff and IGA wholesale supplier Metcash.

Barry Cameron passed away in 1984 and Peter Carson took over as managing director. Mr. Fred Harrison took over as CEO in late 1994 and the group has now grown to 76 IGA stores. He still holds this position today.

The strength of Ritchies today is its long term, past and present, loyal staff members, some having 20, 30 and even 40 years service with the company.

15 September 2021

The Future Ritchies is very proud of its heritage and position in Australia as the longest trading licensed supermarket group, celebrating 151 years of continuous service to their customers and local communities in 2021. * Thomas Ritchie is portayed by an actor

the city to Crib Point, and a general holiday was proclaimed.

A couple of aeroplanes from Point Cook were delegated to the picnic, and the pilots thrilled the spectators with a daring display of aeronautics.

Sports were conducted during the afternoon, and a spectacular naval ball was the attraction in the evening.

It is considered to have been one of the finest gatherings in the Peninsula’s history. *** A READER of “The Standard” has drawn our attention, to a paragraph in “The Age,” which states (so he says) that America possesses a motorboat that travels 80,567 miles per hour, and asks what we think about it.

Well, we have heard of the Yank who was fond of joy-riding on comets, but we could hardly be expected to digest a tale like that, for the simple reason that no human being, whirled through space at a rate of over 1000 miles a minute, in a motor boat or anything else, could possibly live.

And so we investigated the paragraph and found that our friend had made a slight (?) mistake.

What the motor boat did do was to register 80.667 (not 80,567) miles an hour.

So instead of travelling 1000 miles a minute, as our friend thought, we were only travelling about one and a third (1.3425 miles a minute), or about 80,485 miles per hour less than our good friend imagined. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 9 September 1921

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Eric Estrada Estrangement Fiasco

By Stuart McCullough I STAND corrected. Just a week ago, I wrote about how my father had kept an empty tin can with pictures stuck on it as either an act of sentimental parental devotion or administrative oversight.

It was, so I claimed, proof that my father had never given up hope that I might one day produce an even greater piece of art. Or, alternatively, that he really liked ‘Ponch’ from CHiPs. Either way, I was touched that he’d kept it all these years. But that was a week ago and, frankly, a lot can change in a week. It was shortly after the story was published that I received a phone call from my father.

I began by wishing him a happy Father’s Day. He began by telling me that he no longer had the tin can pencil holder. His account from that point on became ever less reliable. He initially suggested that the tin can pencil holder could well be a figment of my imagination. This was difficult to hear.

Not only was the tin can pencil holder a cherished childhood memory, it has formed the backbone of my curriculum vitae for the past thirty years and it now seems that every job I’ve held in that period was under false pretences.

Before there was a chance to get to the bottom of whether or not the object had ever existed or was the product over an over-stimulated imagination in what can only be described as a stationery-based fever-dream, my father changed tack. He then speculated that the item hadn’t held a place on his desk for at least twenty years. Granted, it’s fair to say that during this pandemic time has lost all meaning and the term itself may be removed from the diction-

ary as a result, but I recalled seeing it just last Christmas. It was then that our conversation took a truly dark and startling turn.

He suggested my brother had taken it. Typical! Granted, it’s hard to fathom

a motive. Or, at least, a motive beyond wanting an empty tin can with a picture of Eric Estrada glued onto it. But it’s the sheer, breath-taking improbability of the thing that, in many ways, makes it the perfect crime. No one’s going to

suspect you of stealing something that is so obviously without any tangible value whatsoever, to say nothing of the fact that it’s also devoid of artistic merit.

Naturally, I later put this accusation to my brother who denied it. Perhaps he denied it a little too strongly. But, despite my reservations I was ultimately prepared to accept that he had no need for a place to put his pencils as all his work was done on a laptop. Sure, it stung a little to hear that something you created is no longer considered useful, but he made a compelling point. An uneasy peace arose between us as I made a mental note to monitor ‘Gumtree’ for the next few weeks in the event he tried and offload his ill-gotten gain.

My father then said something that sent a chill racing through my veins.

‘Perhaps it’s in the shed’. Without fear of overstatement, everything that ever existed is in my father’s shed. Jimmy Hoffa is in the shed (behind the wooden water-skis, probably). Lost civilizations, too, wondering how to get past the large wooden dresser that’s been sitting there for decades. Whatever you’ve lost; be it a pair of shoes, a watch or your youth, chances are you’d find it in my father’s shed. Being sent to the shed is not so much about a change in location as it is a destiny.

Obviously, for something to be transported from the house to the shed requires an active decision on the part of my father. A decision he’d not seen the need to take over previous decades. It posed the question – what else had my father decided to send to the shed during lockdown? There’s a banner that hangs just outside his study. It says ‘We

Love Our Dad’ and there’s a computer-generated image of myself and my siblings. Because this was done in the mid-eighties, it looks as though our faces have been deliberately blurred out, like we’re whistleblowers appearing on television.

I have distinct memories of one of my brothers looking as though he had no eyebrows at all and that these were added later with a grey lead pencil.

Given that time has not been kind to it, has it too been sent to the shed? I don’t want to panic, but I fear for the safety of my football trophies. They’re so amazingly small that they’d be completely swallowed up by the shed, never to be seen again. That said, if he’s relocated the photos of us as kids where we were all dressed the same as though we were members of a cult, that wouldn’t be so bad.

Only my father would use a winter of discontent for spring-cleaning. When the day finally comes and I can get back to Tyabb, who knows what I’ll find. Or not find, as the case may be. All I know is that when I stick my head in to my father’s study, I won’t see Eric Estrada’s smiling face.

Then again, perhaps it’s all just a ruse and he knows exactly where the tin can pencil holder is. There’s only one way to find out. When I finally get around to shopping for my father, I will buy him dozens and dozens of pencils. Either the tin can pencil holder will magically appear or there will be complete pencil mayhem. It may seem petty, but you’ve got to draw the line somewhere. And I have plenty of pencils with which to draw it. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Third time lucky for Avalon?

HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou SHANE Nichols is adamant there’s another good race in his star galloper Streets Of Avalon.

The ever-consistent gelding finished just off the placegetters in the Group Two Feehan Stakes last start when out to the mile but returns to his favourite track and trip this Saturday at Caulfield.

The seven-year-old, who has claimed both of his Group One wins over 1400m at the track, will line up in the Group One Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) for the third time.

Nichols said the gelding is going super and just needs to draw a good barrier to be in the finish.

“It was a commendable run (last start),” he said. “He finished a length away in a Group Two. He was still in front at the furlong but he just can’t go up another gear when at the mile.

“He ran fifth in the same race last year and the drew bad (barrier 14 of 16) in the Rupert Clarke. We cannot win from those gates.”

Jockey Damien Oliver will take over the reins of Streets of Avalon with Dean Yendall, who’s ridden the gelding at his last two starts, committing to Ciaron Maher and David Eustace’s Amish Boy for the Group One contest.

Nichols has earmarked the Group Three Moonga Stakes (1400m) and the Group Three Kevin Heffernan Stakes (1300m) as potential winnable races moving forward.

Streets of Avalon may also head to the Group Two Crystal Mile (1600m) in between those two outings.

Another promising galloper, So You Assume, is set to return for Nichols in the Group Two Stocks Stakes (1600m) next Friday night. Nichols has won the race twice in the past with his aptly named star mare I Am A Star.

Another one?: Streets of Avalon aiming for his third Group One win over the Caulfield 1400m on Saturday. Picture: Supplied
