Crafters’ world of creativity, skills THREE hour-long talks on teddy bear making, salvaged – second chance (recycling fabrics) and applique were highlights of the eighth Western Port Craft Expo, held last week. The expo is now at Hastings Community Hub as it has outgrown the space available at Hastings Uniting Church hall. Several rooms were used for the workshops, with one special all-day class by Ilka White, of Castlemaine, with 11 attending – including two schoolboys eager to learn how to make a spiral braided rag rug. Other workshops were by Cassie Leatham, of Gippsland, on indigenous crafts and bush foods, and Sofi Galanis, of Melbourne, on felt-toy making. Crafters set up tables to show their handiwork and demonstrate their skills. New crafts this year were teddy bears, handbag making, fabric design and printing, paper crafting, and a variety of felt animals. Visitors were invited to have a free go at card-making, spinning and macramé. Charity tables covered quilting (Very Snuggly Quilts) and dresses sewn for girls in Third World countries (Dress-a-girl-around the world charity). Children were not forgotten with a special area for crafts. In the afternoon a popular Tam, of Pimp my Balloons, turned handcrafted balloons into amazing creations which captivated his audience. Hastings Uniting Church ladies provided low cost eats, including sandwiches, Devonshire teas, slices and tea and coffee throughout the day. A coffee wagon was popular. Money raised goes to the restoration work on the historic Hastings Wesleyan Chapel, which is one of the oldest brick buildings in Hastings. - Our thanks to Sandra Beckett

Councils link up on transport Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula and Frankston councils want to meet with the Minister for Public Transport Melissa Horne and Minister for Transport Infrastructure Jacinta Allan to discuss extending the electric train service to Hastings. The two councils have written to the state government “clarifying their combined support for the electrification of the existing rail line from the Frankston city centre to Hastings on the Mornington Peninsula”, according to a news release from the municipalities.

Frankston mayor Cr Michael O’Reilly said the councils would support “Frankston-Langwarrin as stage one and Langwarrin-Hastings as stage two”. While acknowledging “the complex consideration for the future metropolitan train network”, both councils opposed locating any stabling or maintenance centres “in valuable green wedge land or altering the urban growth boundary”. The councils say they are committed to working with Public Transport Victoria and bus companies to ensure that the electrification of rail includes improved bus services and connectivity to support the peninsula and

Frankston. Initial moves by Frankston Council were aimed at extending the electrified line south of Frankston to Baxter. This changed once the shire’s current mayor, Cr David Gill, pointed out that Baxter was within the shire and that extra parking and parking trains could only happen on land zoned green wedge. “Stage one of this vital public transport project would ease car parking congestion at Frankston station and will directly benefit Frankston’s health and education precinct, which includes Frankston Hospital, Frankston Private Hospital and Monash University Peninsula Campus,” Cr O’Reilly said.

“Given recent major investments within the precinct, including the Victorian government’s $562 million upgrade to Frankston Hospital, it is important to provide the transport infrastructure needed to cater for the expected visitor growth.” The two municipalities have a combined population of 305,000, with Frankston classed as a metropolitan activity centre and Hastings a major activity centre. Cr Gill said that with an estimated 82 per cent of the peninsula having no access to bus services and limited access to such services as health and higher education “the region is in desperate need of greater investment

into bus services”. “The shire has the second lowest provision of public transport out of the 31 councils in the Melbourne metro area,” he said. “The aged, youth and mobility affected deserve at least a basic level of service no matter where they live. “The existing 788 bus service carries more than half a million passengers annually, with current frequencies from 45 to 100 minutes failing to meet growing demand. “We need the Victorian and federal governments to get moving on these public transport projects that will deliver better outcomes for our joint communities.”

Family links are Esso’s ‘beating heart’ AN apprentice based at the Long Island Point plant, Hastings, is the fourth generation of his family to work at Esso’s Western Port and Gippsland operations. Thomas Mutimer, 18, follows his father Paul, an operations supervisor, grandfather, Ron, who worked at the Barry Beach Marine Terminal, and his great-grandfather, who worked on the Glomar III drillship, to work for Esso, either at Long Island Point or in Gippsland. Thomas was part of an intake of apprentices from Federation Training and WPC Group, who says he was always interested in “all things electrical”, and describes himself as a “hands-on learner”. “I did lots of electrical-based classes at school, and at home I was always building or making something,” he said. In December, his dad told him about a WPC Group apprenticeship opportunity, which he’d read about on a poster at work. The year 12 graduate attended an information night followed by an interview. When he was offered the apprenticeship, Thomas said he was “rapt”, and since January he has been thriving. “Getting taught skills has been great, and being able to apply them in the workplace is a bonus,” he said. Thomas is gaining trade-specific knowledge as well as a wider understanding of the gas and oil industry. “It’s what runs the world,” he said. “There’s more to it than people understand – it’s a big process to get gas and oil to cars, electricity and houses-

Kayaker drowns off Somers

It’s really good to learn about.” The dual trade (instrumentation/ electrical) mentored apprenticeship involves four years of electrical training, followed by a year of instrumentation. Over this time, Thomas has an Esso mentor and a WPC Group mentor to support him to become the best at his trade. Long Island Point plant manager David McCord said the Mutimer family epitomised the generational renewal that was “the beating heart” of Esso’s operations. “Our facilities rely on highly-skilled jobs, such as geoscientists, engineers, technicians and operators,” he said. “These are skill sets and expertise that are highly sought after around the world and renewing them is critical to maintaining our modern way of life. “Right now there are many senior managers and technical specialists all over the world who began their careers here on our operations.”

POLICE divers recovered the body of a Hastings man who drowned off Somers, Sunday 14 April. The man, 38, and a friend were kayaking when he fell out and disappeared about 11am. His mate, who by this time had paddled to shore, borrowed a phone from a passer-by and called 000 for help. Volunteer Marine Rescue and Coast Guard Western Port based at Hastings were on the scene within 12 minutes and, with the Police Air Wing high above, began a four hour search. The VMR crew found the kayak nose up but sunk in four metres of water about 150 metres from shore. The Air Wing spotted his paddle and the Water Police found his body nearby. VMR president Neil Cooper said conditions were fine and seas calm. It is unclear how the man fell out and sank. He was not wearing a life jacket. The kayak was anchored and the man may have become entangled in the rope. A Coast Guard Western Port Facebook post on Sunday said: “Our thoughts go out to the family of the man. We do everything we can to ensure people make it home safely – these outcomes absolutely break our hearts.” The Water Police took the man’s body back to Stony Point and will prepare a report for the coroner.

Foxbats steal the show at STOL Championships: Sunny skies and near perfect weather welcomed the crowd to the inaugural Australian Short Take off and Landing

Championships at Tyabb Airport on Sunday 14 April. And while there were great results in all classes, it was Stan Nowakowski in a Foxbat that got the best result of the day. The standard Foxbat even managed to outperform the highly modified STOL aircraft (120 metres versus 123 metres). Great news for Stan, but also great news for the Australian dealer for Foxbats, who happens to operate from Tyabb Airport. Pictures: Ian Johnson

Winter wrap for The Pillars fence Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE fence along the Esplanade at Mt Martha designed to cut off access to The Pillars cliff-jumping site will be pulled down after Easter. Although not entirely effective, the fence did lead to a large drop in numbers of people gathering on the cliffs, but it also saw police refusing to cross it in pursuit of anyone drinking alcohol in breach of the shire’s local laws. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors will decide whether the fence is reinstalled in time for next summer

after receiving a report from council officers. The 400-metre long fence effectively blocked a walking track along the Esplanade, forcing walkers onto the road. In the previous year, wooden bollards were erected by the shire to separate walkers from vehicles travelling along the Esplanade. At a sometimes-fiery public meeting in the Mornington council offices last Wednesday (10 April) heard from residents annoyed by the “temporary” fence as well as emergency services’ personnel who have to “go in and pick

up the bodies”, the mayor Cr David Gill told The News. While admitting the use of the word bodies was an exaggeration, Cr Gill said these emergency teams “are doing things they shouldn’t have to do” when called to attend to injured people at The Pillars. Cr Gill, who describes himself as the last councillor standing when it came to approving spending close to $200,000 on hiring and erecting the fence, wants the Department of Lands Water and Planning to be involved in “finding a solution”. The shire also used a drone to film

and count cliff jumpers at The Pillars. “No one likes the wall, including me,” Cr Gill said. Describing the cost as “outrageous”, Cr Gill said, “no one at the meeting liked the wall, but we’ve got to force some action from the DLWP, from my point of view”. “We’ve gone through the public consultation and now we’re awaiting a report from our officers.” Labor’s candidate for the federal seat of Flinders, Joshua Sinclair, last month said a boardwalk should be built along the cliff top near The Pillars (“Pillars a poll issue” The News

26/3/19). Following last week’s public meeting, Mr Sinclair said he was “pleased that local police have backed my common-sense approach to The Pillars”. “Residents I speak to have continued to slam the fence as ugly and demanded it be removed,” he said. “The wall has created a more dangerous situation due to people walking on the road. “I welcome this decision [to tear down the fence] from council and thank them for their continued engagement with the community on this issue.”

Questions raised over ‘strategic’ look at land use Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A PUBLIC meeting in Mornington late last month to discuss the “tightening of controls to better protect Melbourne’s green wedges against overdevelopment” may have had more sinister overtones, according to a Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor. The meeting, held at Currawong Community Hall, Currawong Street, on 28 March, and attended by 66 people, was promoted by Planning Minister Richard Wynne and Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes as being part of strategic review of future land use. Those invited to attend were residents, councillors, farmers and repre-

sentatives of agricultural industries. The context of the meeting – one of five held in regional areas around Melbourne – was to discuss “identifying and protecting vital food production and agricultural land” from inroads by developers as Melbourne grows. The focus was on “protecting strategic agricultural land to secure Melbourne’s food production for the future and give greater certainty to agricultural businesses to support long term growth, investment and innovation”. “We’ve seen great turn out at the sessions and want to thank everyone for getting involved,” Department of Environment Land Water and Planning spokesperson Ewan Cook said. “The Mornington workshop went well with good attendance and par-

ticipation. While there were diverse views, there was a general feeling of understanding of the need to protect and support agriculture in these areas.” Mr Cook said submissions can be made via Engage Victoria until Tuesday 23 April. Cr Hugh Fraser said there might be more at play than simply protecting the peninsula’s agricultural areas. “The dangerous corollary of this state government defining in our planning scheme what is ‘strategic’ agricultural land is this: What is to become of the rest of the agricultural and other green wedge land which is not ‘strategic’ but [which is] rich in biodiversity, landscape and green wedge values?” “Spring Street has been slow to act on protecting in our planning scheme

the unique qualities of the peninsula – our housing and settlement strategy lies on the minister’s desk scandalously unattended and unapproved for over a year. “By defining what land is ‘strategic’ and, by definition, what is not [strategic] in our planning scheme – creating a primary and secondary importance of our agricultural and other land – will be yet an another state government juggernaut to open up our green wedge land, which is not strategic agricultural land, to inappropriate development destructive to the green wedge values of this shire.” Mr Wynne said the workshops would deliver on Plan Melbourne 2017-2050. “The government has been undertaking technical work in partnership with

Agriculture Victoria and Deakin University to provide an evidence base and inform criteria for identifying strategic agricultural land,” he said. Under the plan not all agricultural land will be identified as strategic agricultural land, rather “it will depend on the nature, extent and significance of the land as assessed against a common set of criteria”. Notes presented before the meeting acknowledged that agricultural land “may still be locally significant even if it is does not meet the criteria to be considered strategic agricultural land”. “These areas will not be turned over to residential development, the notes said. “Existing planning controls that apply will remain in place and not be weakened.

proach for the coming summer season after the inappropriate use of jet skis inflamed tensions at Safety Beach and especially Rye over summer. The mayor Cr David Gill said there was a “resoundingly positive reception to the solutions, which the attending community supported wholeheartedly”. “The shire has listened to the community and recognised the significant concern of many beachgoers about the increased presence of jet skis and the dangerous use of personal water craft,” Cr Gill said. “Indeed, council and many other organisations have been inundated with complaints and concerns from the community – ranging from seri-

ous risks through to petrol cans on the beach and noise pollution.” Cr Gill said there was agreement that: Jet skis should be treated differently to other watercraft, such as paddle boards, and that the “significant increase and inappropriate use” of jet skis meant enforcement would pose a “significant resource challenge”. The meetings were told that jet-ski registrations had jumped 122 per cent to 252,000 in the 10 years to 30 June 2018. There has been a 65 per cent jump in accidents over the same time, with 94 infringements being issued for dangerous use of jet skis over the 2017-18 summer.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2019

Campaign looks back to the future said the seats of Flinders (Mr Hunt), Menzies (Kevin Andrews) and Kooyong (Treasurer Josh Frydenberg) “are all in line for unprecedented Coalition losses”. GetUp’s anti-Hunt campaigning may be counterbalanced somewhat by right wing lobby group Advance Australia, which says its members have signalled Flinders as one of the seats needing the organisation’s “attention”. GetUp volunteers will contact more than 200,000 voters in Menzies and Flinders to discuss how “hard-right wreckers” Kevin Andrews and Greg Hunt have used their platforms to block progress on “urgent action on climate change and just treatment of refugees”. GetUp campaigner Jake Wishart said Mr Hunt’s “repeated attempts to block urgent action on climate change put him at odds with voters in Flinders”. GetUp’s stance will come as no surprise to Mr Hunt whose Hastings office (he’s now based in Somerville) was regularly the scene of the group’s sometimes-colourful protests, including people dressed as marine creatures and angels climbing on the roof. One protest saw two men carry a crate of coal into Mr Hunt’s office and Mr Hunt accusing GetUp members of upsetting and intimidating a staff member (“Sparks fly over coal delivery”, The News, 14/9/15). One of the two men who carried the coal into the office said “three police happily chatting to the crowd” would have been involved if Mr Hunt’s version of events was correct. The tactic was more or less legitimised less than two years later when then-Treasurer Scott Morrison took a lump of coal into the House of Representatives, telling those present: “Don’t be afraid, don’t be scared.” The use of Point Nepean National Park has also come back into focus, with Mr Hunt last week announcing he was “delighted to announce that as part of the 2019-20 Budget, the Liberal-

Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au CAMPAIGNING for the Saturday 18 May federal election has begun in Flinders with a backward look at still unresolved issues. Despite the drip-feed of “good news” from the incumbent, Liberal Greg Hunt, whose health portfolio provides a seemingly endless supply, it’s his time as environment minister that is being targeted by his opponents. The federal government’s approval last week of the massive Adani coal mine in Queensland revived memories, and criticism, of Mr Hunt’s role the first time the Indian company received the all-clear from the government. Mr Hunt approved Adani’s plans for its Carmichael mine one month after he chartered a plane to fly over the proposed open-cut site in June 2014 (“MPs make ‘modest’ claims for travel”, The News 10/8/15). When announcing approval of the mine, Mr Hunt stressed the remoteness of the area – “it is the deep outback; it is a sparsely vegetated area” – and that the mine would be subject to “some very, very strict conditions”. However, federal government approval for the mine was overturned a year later by the High Court after it was presented with evidence of a bungle by Mr Hunt’s department that meant there were no provisions to protect two threatened species, the yakka skink and ornamental snake. In February 2016, Mr Hunt was named Best Minister in the World for his role, as Australia’s environment minister (“Best minister award for Hunt’s carbon cuts”, The News, 15/2/16). Mr Hunt flew to Dubai earlier that month to accept the award from the prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum during the World Government Summit. Last week, left-leaning lobby group GetUp

National government will invest $25 million for a National Centre for Coasts, Environment and Climate at Point Nepean”. He said the centre, a partnership between Monash University and the University of Melbourne, “will be a world leading interdisciplinary research facility on marine and coastal ecosystems, climate science and environmental management”. “For more than a decade now, I have fought passionately, alongside many members of the local community, to see marine research as a cornerstone use of the old quarantine buildings in Point Nepean National Park,” Mr Hunt said. His work “to make this idea a reality” was consistent with the final master plan for Point Nepean National Park. Mr Hunt’s office did not respond by deadline when asked if the universities would contribute money to the proposed centre or if a business case had been completed.

Meet candidates CANDIDATES for the seat of Flinders at the Saturday 18 May federal election will be on hand to answer questions from the public at a forum in Dromana on 17 April. The event has been organised by Robyn Coughlin so voters can “get to know their potential representatives”. Ms Coughlin said the forum would be held 6pm-9pm at Dromana Community Hall and would also involve an “informal meet and greet” as well as a question and answer time. “The event is not affiliated with any political party, independent candidate or other registered organisation and is a free community event that is being organised and run entirety by volunteers,” she said.

ESTABLISHED and emerging artists are being invited to share their interpretation of the Mornington Peninsula’s “precious green wedge”. It’s all part of the shire’s Green Wedge Paint Outs and Exhibition returning to the peninsula this year as part of the council’s efforts to protect areas of national, state and local conservation significance and habitat value. Artists are invited to submit a green wedge-inspired artwork to be considered for exhibition across the peninsula with displays at the council chamber at Rosebud, as well as at Oak Hill Gallery and Merricks House Art Gallery at Merricks General Wine Store. There’s incentive, too, with three bursaries to be awarded including $1000 for the Most Inspiring Award; $500 Green Award and $500 Encouragement Award. Artist Jennifer Riddle and senior arts educator Colin Johnson will mentor a guided Paint Out for those interested in furthering their drawing and painting skills. Paint Outs will be held this month and hosted by the shire. “We’re calling on the community to help showcase the significance of our green wedge land and why we must all work together to preserve it,” the mayor Cr David Gill said. “Our green wedge requires careful planning and management to protect its values for the long term.” Last year at the inaugural exhibition 100 artists registered for two fully booked guided paint outs. Applications to submit artworks close 5pm, Friday 3 May. Details: mornpen.vic.gov.au/greenwedge

Students’ best is teachers’ goal

Classroom the focus: Academic Misty Adoniou’s forum for teachers was described as a “significant day” for teachers. Picture: Gary Sissons

TEACHERS took their turn in the “classroom” during a professional development day at Mt Martha. The Tuesday 2 April Central Peninsula Network of Schools forum at the New Peninsula Centre in Craigie Road attended by 600 teachers from 24 schools in the Mornington, Mt Eliza, Frankston and Langwarrin areas heard from the University of Canberra’s Misty Adoniou, who teaches Language and Literacy in undergraduate and post graduate courses. The forum discussed how reading and writing get harder as students move through school; whose job it is

to help students handle the complexity; what reading and writing looks like across the different disciplines; and strategies for teaching language across the disciplines. Mt Eliza Primary School principal Brett Bell said Ms Adoniou’s address covered teachers being educators of literacy, especially with “subjectspecific literacy that either enables or prevents students from fully engaging in a specialist subject, whether that is science, art or mathematics”. “Taking students deeper into their education, rather than skimming over the surface of a topic, was also a focus

for teachers and a key message in Misty’s work,” he said. “Helping students achieve their best is a key focus for all schools in the Central Peninsula Network and we saw this as a significant day as it will assist teachers in being even more effective in their role as educators of the next generation.” Ms Adoniou’s work is widely published and she has worked extensively within the Department of Education in Victoria. She has appeared through many media outlets for her ideas and opinions on supporting the development of education in Australia.

As the highest performing secondary school on the Mornington Peninsula, Dromana College will continue to work tirelessly to develop and consolidate the many exemplary educational programs on offer. With outstanding facilities, a committed professional staff and a caring school community, students are challenged to explore their interests and talents to achieve their personal best.

Western Port News 17 April 2019

PARKS Victoria is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) to operate the hop on hop off visitor shuttle service within the 560 hectare Point Nepean National Park. The shuttle is part of the state government’s master plan for the park and the latest chance for a private operator to run the shuttle comes 16 years after the John Howard-led federal government first announced plans for 90 hectares of the former Defence land to be subdivided and sold for housing. The announcement that the prime coastal land near Portsea could pass from public to private hands sparked a wave of protests that eventually saw the federal government hand control of the park to the state government in 2009. The state and protesters successfully resisted efforts by the federal government to determine uses for the park before control would be handed to the state. Parks Victoria now manages Point Nepean National Park. The shuttle runs between the park entrance, Quarantine Station and Fort Nepean and is the only passengercarrying vehicle (besides bicycles and authorised vehicles) allowed past Gunners Cottage. Parks Victoria says Point Nepean has more than 500,000 visitors a year, with more than 25,000 using the shuttle. The three-year contract includes “exclusive vehicle access beyond

Gunners Cottage”; “opportunities” to provide services for major events and other park activities; “exclusive” vehicle access for all group bookings to Fort Nepean; and the chance to partner with other operations within the park. There are now more than licenced 30 providers in the national park offering such activities as guided tours, heritage tours, bushwalking and bike riding. Expressions of interest for the shuttle close4pm 17 May. Keith Platt

Guests for Over 50s ROSEBUD Over 50s members will enjoy an open day this week in the company of two greats of Australian TV: former Sale of the Century host Tony Barbour and former Bert Newton musical director Peter Sullivan.

It will offer lifestyle displays, barbecue lunch, afternoon tea and a one-hour session with Barbour, who is also an OAM and 1973 Gold Logie Winner, who will sing hits from his albums, and pianist Sullivan. Formed in 1961 the Rosebud Over 50s Social Club is a not-for-profit with a colourful growth history. Opened in 1961 as the Elderly Citizens Club, it changed its name to Rosebud Over 50s in 2000.

Heritage ‘Ramsay House’ opens for first time A SMALL holiday house perched on a cliff above Ranelagh Beach at Mt Eliza will be open to the public later this month for the first time in its 82-year history. Small it may be, but Ramsay House, built in 1937, is big in architecture, heritage and history circles. It is considered to be an influential example of the work of famous Melbourne architect Roy Grounds (later Sir Roy), who designed the house for Betty Ramsay, wife of Thomas Ramsay (later Sir Thomas), chairman of the famous Australian company Kiwi Boot Polish. The house has been restored over several years by its custodian, Victoria Grounds, the architect daughter of Roy Grounds, and is on the Victorian Heritage Register, as are Ranelagh Estate’s public areas. When the house was registered in 2008, Heritage Council Victoria chair Daryl Jackson said its design was influential in the development of modern architecture in Victoria. With its minimalist, open-plan design and use of natural materials, it set new standards for the era’s modernist approach. Sir Roy Grounds (1905–81) is best known for designing the world heritage listed Australian Academy of Science building in Canberra (now known as the Shine Dome and evocative of a flying saucer), the National Gallery of Victoria and the Victorian Arts Centre, both in Melbourne, and, locally, the round house at the bottom of Olivers Hill in Frankston for the Henty family in 1953. Grounds married Betty Ramsay in 1941 and eventually came to live in the house himself. It was where their daughter Victoria spent her early childhood. The house was sold to architect Frederick Romberg and his wife Verena in 1953. Their descendants put it on the market in 2006 and it was acquired by Victoria Grounds the following year. The small cottage is one of few remaining early houses built in Ranelagh, the estate

designed by Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin in 1924. The couple is best known for their award-winning design of Canberra. Ramsay House is a plain, two-storey box 4.4 metres by 9 metres (14.5 feet by 30 feet) with a footprint of 40 square metres and total floor area of 70sqm. All rooms including the tiny first-floor bathroom have expansive views of the beach and Port Phillip. Ramsay House will be open only, on Sunday

28 April. Cost: $24. Visitor numbers are strictly limited and bookings are required. All proceeds will go to continuing the restoration of the house, which won the award for Restoration of a Heritage Place at the 2018 Mornington Peninsula Heritage Awards, jointly run by National Trust of Australia (Victoria) and Mornington Peninsula Shire.

With Stephen Taylor

Driver charged after fatal crash in suburban street A 21-year-old Rye man has been charged with one count of culpable driving causing death and two counts of negligently causing serious injury after a fatal crash in Tootgarook early Friday 12 April. Seventeen-year-old Timothy Hocking died and four others were injured when a Mazda CX3 with five young people on board struck a tree near the intersection of Marshall and Field streets about 1.15am. Timothy Hocking, a student at Rosebud Secondary College and resident of McCrae, died at the scene, while another 17-year-old from Capel Sound was taken to hospital in a critical condition. A 17-year-old from McCrae was taken to hospital in a serious condition. The driver and another 17-year-old, from Capel Sound, were taken to hospital with nonlife threatening injuries. Neighbours reported hearing cries for help and found two young men lying beside the car in the dark. Rye and Rosebud CFA and SES crews stayed at the scene until mid-morning, hosing oil leaks and ready to extinguish any fires. Rosebud CFA duty officer Sam Webb said police were examining the crash site for details as to the cause. Neighbours say the narrow roads are “notorious for speeding”. It appears the car was being driven along Field Street past the roundabout at Marshall Street when it ploughed into a large she-oak on the nature strip. Police are investigating whether speed and alcohol contributed to the crash. They are becoming increasingly exasperated that young people are ignoring road-safety messages, saying their

pleas “are not sinking in”. Detective Sergeant Darren Williams told Channel 9 News on Friday morning: “This is the worst you can get – when you lose a young kid, not even experienced in life. He’s gone. His life’s gone. His family’s life is over. They’ll never be the same again. “You’ve just got to think that as a result of this there’s hundreds – if not thousands – of people who are going to be affected by not only this one kid’s death, but the injuries sustained by the others and they’ll never be the same again. “We’re forever on the news putting out messages: ‘Drive slowly’, ‘drive within your limits’, ‘don’t drink drive’ and people still do it. How do we get through to people? I don’t know.” Both roads were closed Friday while investigations continued. Anyone with information or who witnessed the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au As of Friday 92 people had died on the state’s roads compared to 58 for the same period last year.

Search for burglars POLICE are investigating three incidents which occurred overnight 7 April: Offenders damaged a garage and entered a house at Caversham Road, Mornington. Nothing was stolen. Thieves stole both number plates reading WIX 990 from a Holden parked in the driveway of a house at Nautilus Street, Rye. Cash, keys and a pair of Armani sunglasses with a total value of $430 were stolen from a Toyota Hilux in a car park at Watt Road, Mornington.

Assault charges A BOX Hill South man is facing serious assault charges after a gatecrasher was allegedly assaulted outside a party in Frankston-Flinders Road, Hastings, early Sunday 7 April. The 36-year-old is alleged to have hit a Bittern man, 21, over the head with a bag of stubbies causing serious facial injuries, including having his jaw broken in a number of places and several teeth broken. His injuries will require significant ongoing medical treatment. The Box Hill man appeared at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 10 April charged with intentionally causing serious injury and recklessly causing serious injury. He will reappear at a later date. Detective Senior Sergeant Miro Majstorovic, of Somerville CIU, said parties should be registered with police to minimise the dangers Somerville detectives are calling for witnesses to the incident at 12.15am. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Shane Moodie, 59781300.

Car impounded A 32-year-old Mornington woman had her car impounded for drink-driving offences at Mt

Eliza, Saturday 6 April. Police said the woman was changing her car’s tyre on Tower Road about 11.55pm after driving from a licenced venue in Mornington. The engine was running and a passenger was asleep in the car. Police media officer Sergeant Megan Stefanec said the woman returned a breath test reading of 0.191 per cent. Her car was impounded at a cost of $1075 and her licence was suspended for 12 months.

Boat, trailer missing A BOAT and trailer stolen from Ilma Court, Parkdale, early 30 March, are still missing. Police suspect the thief moved the boat to Nepean Highway, Cheltenham, and used an angle grinder to remove identifying marks. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of the trailer and boat, registration TN 344, is urged to call Moorabbin police 9556 6565.

Motorcycle stolen SOMERVILLE detectives are investigating after a garage at a house in Graf Road, Somerville, was broken into overnight Monday 8 April, and a black Yamaha R1 motorcycle stolen.

OBITUARY

David Jarman - farmer, family man, and respected community leader By Peter McCullough

David George Jarman OAM JP

9 March, 1940 – 10 March, 2019. ONE of the Mornington Peninsula’s best-known community leaders, David Jarman, passed away at Peninsula Private Hospital on 10 March after a short illness. He was 79 and one day. His funeral took place at St John’s Anglican Church, Flinders, on 19 March with the Reverend Jennifer Furphy officiating and over 400 in attendance. The eulogy was given by Andrew Stewart, David’s son-in-law, based on notes prepared by David’s wife, Joy, and daughter, Nerida. At the conclusion of the service the cortege travelled through the Flinders golf course and then proceeded to the Flinders cemetery. *** The Jarmans of Devon Orchards DAVID’S grandfather, Wallace Bruce Douglas Jarman (1880-1941) was an adventurous man who migrated to Australia in 1913, bringing with him his wife, Daisy Maria, and their children Daisy, May, Frederick and Arthur. The youngest member, George, was born in Australia. Having been a curator at the Torquay Gardens in Devon, Wallace had considerable horticultural expertise. The family settled in Red Hill where the fertile soil suited his long-term plans to establish orchards. From the clearing of the bush until a worthwhile apple harvest eventuates could take between five and ten years. While the apple and pear trees were maturing an extensive market garden was established with an innovative irrigation system. Strawberries, cauliflowers and potatoes were grown and, in an average season, 70,000 cabbages and 55-69 tons of peas and beans were harvested. Before long Fred and his sister Daisy had a regular produce run by horse and cart to hotels and guesthouses as far as Portsea. Wallace Jarman was quite a driving force. He became a director of the Red Hill Co-op Cool Store, built in 1922, which stored fruit for the everexpanding local orchardists. He also purchased more land to eventually own 186 acres on Mornington-Flinders Road, close to Tucks Road, with 120 acres under orchard. From very humble beginnings Devon Orchards was built up to be a successful enterprise; one of the largest orchards on the peninsula, it was a show place often featured in the local newspapers. With the orchard

flourishing and acres set aside for cattle grazing, Wallace decided in 1926 to build a more permanent home: a much-admired Californian bungalow called “Devonia” was the result. Because of the volume of fruit being produced Devon Orchards built its own coolstore in the 1930’s. Between the wars many Italians migrated to Australia and some worked on the Jarman orchard clearing land, planting fruit trees, and growing vegetables. They were respected in the district and eventually acquired their own properties. They tended to congregate in an area along Flinders Road in Main Ridge which became known locally as “Little Italy”. As was the custom, all members of the Jarman family were expected to work on the property for six days a week and the hard physical tasks were only relieved when tractors were introduced. David’s father, Fred, had

the task of driving daily to the Victoria Market, a three to four hour trip each way, in a solid tyred Ford; this gave way to a solid tyred International which was invariably overloaded. In 1937 Fred (1903-1978) married Mabel Nase (1908-1973) at St. John’s, Flinders. Their family consisted of four children: Catherine (known as “Cay”), David, John (who died of an illness at the age of ten), and Roger (the victim of a motor vehicle accident when he was in his early 30’s). Being the eldest boy, Fred stayed on the farm to help with food production during the war years and he became the air raid warden for the local area. Later he was on the council of Flinders Shire for twenty years. *** David George Jarman was born at the Dromana Bush Nursing Hospital on 9 March, 1940 and lived on his beloved Mornington Peninsula all his

life. David had an idyllic childhood which probably accounted for his well-balanced and happy personality. He was surrounded by both sets of grandparents: the grandparents Jarman lived next door on the farm and the grandparents Nase lived at “Wilga” in Flinders with their maiden Aunt Ruby. The Nase grandparents had a large grazing property which stretched along the coastline to the south of the town. David’s early years were spent mushrooming, climbing pine trees to attach aerials for his crystal set, flying model planes, rabbiting, breeding geese and, as he grew older, driving tractors, tinkering with engines, and caddying at Flinders Golf Club. David’s parents were great supporters of the scouting and guiding movement; in fact they donated a block of land in Red Hill for the Guide Hall and his mother was a Guide Com-

missioner. David was a member of the Red Hill Troop , revelled in hikes around the peninsula, attended a world jamboree, and became a Queen’s Scout. With his older sister, “Cay”, David rode a Shetland pony to school at Red Hill but was frequently thrown off and forced to walk the rest of the way. This did not engender a love of horses. Secondary schooling was initially at Frankston which was a convoluted journey. Travel problems were eased when Rosebud High School was built; David attended there until Year 12 and was a prefect. During his teenage years David played competition tennis and joined the Young Farmers which was very strong in the rural areas. He had many trips to country clubs around Victoria, attended balls, and formed long term friendships. The latter included David

Renouf who was to be his best man and subsequently served as a fellow councillor for the Mornington Peninsula Shire. The 1960’s was a difficult time for the apple industry as Britain had joined the Common Market. After undertaking a business course part time, David convinced the family of the need to diversify: they went into turkey production, then chickens. David’s various skills were evident when he milled the timber in the farm’s small saw mill, levelled the site for the turkey sheds (assisted by his cousin John Brunning), and built a dam for the necessary water supply. All of this was achieved by David with the farm equipment. These new ventures were run in conjunction with the orchard and cattle grazing. Meanwhile, the social activities of Young Farmers notwithstanding, David had started courting a city girl, Joy Bidmeade. The courtship, which often involved helping David in the turkey sheds, culminated in their marriage in February, 1970. In 1975 Sarah was welcomed into the family and in 1977 Nerida was born. It was during the 1980’s that what Joy has described as David’s “over developed work ethic” became more prominent. As well as taking care of the chickens, orchard and cattle, David decided to contract with the Education Department to transport children to school. Two buses were purchased, one of which David drove with sufficient skills and good cheer that the passengers awarded him the title “Bus Driver of the Year.” Joy countered the suggestion that she might drive the other bus by saying that her legs were too short to reach the pedals! David had already become involved in various groups: the Orchardists Association, Meat Chicken Association, the Bus Proprietors Association, and he was President of the peninsula branch of the Victorian Farmers’ Federation. He had also been an office bearer at Red Hill Tennis Club. Then, in his early 30’s, he was asked to join the Dromana Rotary Club and became a Charter Member. David particularly enjoyed participating in overseas building projects and the camaraderie of his fellow members.

During his 49 years of membership he served as President and was a Paul Harris Fellow. Local issues and organizations invariably attracted David’s attention and he became involved in all those that touched his life. This led him to follow in his father’s footsteps and he became a councillor with the Shire of Flinders. After the municipal amalgamations in 1994 he was elected to represent the area in the newlyformed Mornington Peninsula Shire and had the honour to be elected the first Mayor. At the time there were a number of divisive issues and David’s calm and rational approach was helpful in arriving at solutions which were acceptable to all. In total, David served on the two councils for a total of fifteen years. While still on the Council David was elected as President of the Flinders Golf Club, a position he held for five years during which time the clubhouse went through major renovations. David Jarman contributed to many other organizations across the peninsula: he was a committee member of the Flinders Community Association and a past chairman of the Bass Park Trust; he was a member of the historical societies at both Flinders and Dromana as well as the Collins Settlement Site; a member of the Red Hill Show Society; the Chairman of the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal (Southern Peninsula); and for ten years he was a Board Member of Blairgowrie Living and Learning. The other important part of David’s life was his church. He was baptised and confirmed at St.John’s, Flinders, and was on the vestry for many years. His faith was a firm foundation for his life. In June, 2013 David’s contribution to the community was recognized when he was awarded the OAM for his service to local government and the community generally. For many years he was also a Justice of the Peace. It should also be mentioned that in April 2016 Joy was awarded the OAM for her work with people with a disability. In the 1996 Cook Street, Flinders, became the family home instead of Devon Orchards. Even in “retire-

ment” David’s lust for life was evident. In his late 60’s/early 70’s he travelled to Antarctica, went hang gliding in Rio de Janeiro, and hiked in New Zealand. After Antarctica he took up kayaking in Western Port Bay, then bike riding bay-to-bay. In his mid 70’s he purchased a boat and further adventures followed. Although the family has dispersed - Sarah lives in Frankston and Nerida (with her husband Andrew and children Hugh(9) and Ruby(7)) is at present a resident of Houston, Texas - modern technology has ensured that David and Joy have maintained close ties with all members. As Andrew mentioned in the eulogy, David loved his family and took great pride in their achievements. He showed them by example how to be respectful, polite and caring. His reaching out to help others came naturally and his kind and happy demeanour will be missed by all who knew him.

Client’s plea to pressure bank to stay open I am concerned at the closure of the Commonwealth Bank Dromana branch and request the bank reconsider this closure (“Bank withdraws from Dromana” The News 9/4/19). My family has had a 40-year association with this branch and been well served by its staff over the years. This branch is mainly used by pensioners, selffunded retirees and small businesses, of which many are unable, or have the time to travel to the Rosebud or Mornington branches as suggested by the bank as the alternative. There has been no consultation with customers or, as I understand, the branch staff about the closure. Given the recent Royal Commission findings that the big four banks, including the Commonwealth Bank, have been putting shareholders ahead of customers and that this needed to change. Given the pending closure of the Dromana branch on 3 May, the Commonwealth Bank has given a “one finger salute” to the commission’s findings and the customers of its Dromana branch. On contacting the office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt seeking support to pressure the Commonwealth Bank to reverse its decision I was told they knew about the closure but were not prepared to advocate on behalf of the disadvantaged customers (his constituents) to keep the branch open. I seek the support of Dromana residents and businesses to pressure the Commonwealth Bank to keep the Dromana branch open. Ian Tatterson, Dromana

Rail benefits overlooked I am writing to outline two overlooked aspects of the much-awaited metro [electrified rail] extension to Baxter, after sighting recent local press articles. First, is the considerable benefit for the

Hastings/Stony Point area from direct access to the Melbourne metro system at Baxter. Second, and flowing from this ,is the reinstatement of the rail service to and from Mornington, via Baxter using the existing track and based on the current Hastings/Stony Point service, a fast and safe single trip, Mornington to Melbourne CBD and return. Rail travel to Frankston and to the health and education hub there would provide a fast, safe and frequent alternative to car travel or to the present hourly bus services. Both of these opportunities add significantly to the value of the project but have been overlooked in the planning so far. About half of the existing Mornington line is in regular use, Moorooduc to Mornington, and meets the current Rail Safety Victoria requirements for operational track. The district of Mornington has a population of 163,000 (June 2017 figure). To have rail travel restored would be very warmly embraced by the voting community and would help significantly in relieving the current congestion and proposed development concerns in the Oakbank Road/ Bungower Road/Nepean Highway area. The rail corridor passes directly through this region. As a concerned resident of Mt Eliza for many years I commend this as a realistic proposal and a forgotten impetus to the Baxter plans. My concept is worthy of timely consideration and I thank you for providing the opportunity to present it. Bruce Morton, Mount Eliza

hicle damages and physical trauma, despite multiple Mornington Peninsula Shire staff inspections and repeated correspondence stating that they would all be removed “as soon as possible” and the trees then “regularly and safely maintained.” These safety assurances have all been false, making an unsafe mockery of the staff pledges and our more than $1 million dollars in rates during this time. The reality is that some senior staff, assisted by poor governance, do not care about these proven dangers and no one ensures that the agreed to safety works are carried out. Continuing to ignore these dangers has resulted in these disasters and will result in more if this attitude continues. Almost all of the senior staff who did reply to our complaints have never inspected any of the four dangerous sites while our councillors have either just given our correspondence and photographs to the very staff we are criticising, who continued to do nothing, or ignored them, again without inspecting the potentially lethal sites. Ron Brown, on behalf of the Point Nepean Road and Greenwood Avenue ratepayers, Sorrento

Money goes missing I’ve just noticed an article about dog registration states that dog fees help fund off leash areas (“Time to register pets” The News 2/4/19). This is a blatant lie in regard to McCrae beach which has never had any money spent on it in the more than 40-plus plus years I’ve been walking my dogs. The shire won’t even provide more bins over the Christmas holidays when the population escalates. The only thing I can remember happening in all that time, was the removal of the only tap we had for water, in the car park. I now have to bring my own water and bowl so Gloria can have a drink after exercising. Instead of self promotion, council should concentrate on providing such facilities such as taps, bins, seats and shelters. Ron Moore and Gloria (the dog), Rosebud

Shifting the bottleneck I have noticed that recently the Jetty Road, Rosebud overpass has been getting a mention (“Danger road drives poll promises” The News 9/4/19). I believe, in the budget under the Urban Congestion Fund, $65 million has been allocated for the Mornington Peninsula (freeway) grade separation and duplication to Boneo Road. This is yet another example of wasting taxpayers’ money. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has thrown our money away ($187 million) to open and close the Christmas Island detention centre for a rather expensive photo opportunity. The waste of money building the overpass at Jetty Road is not going to ease the bottleneck that is the annual nightmare come holiday season. All it will do is move the problem down further to Boneo Road. At least for now some of the traffic disperses on to Jetty Road and the remainder carries on up to Boneo Road. Until the authorities find a solution on how they can extend the freeway without damaging the biodiversity of the very important Tootgarook wetlands, why not instead of putting the $65 million back in the pork barrel, put it to good use in health, education or even aged care? John Cain, McCrae

Climate Ignored. The Liberal Party has given final federal approval for the polluting Adani coal mine, a process started by Flinders MP Greg Hunt, who also stated that opening the biggest coal mine in Australia would have no impact on our amazing barrier reef. The result of his Direct Action policy (do you recall that sell to the Mornington Peninsula on all the flyers?) was that emissions are now still increasing. What I see as absolute disrespect and betrayal from our local member to the community and the country must not be rewarded come election time. Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens

Western Port News 17 April 2019

The save Greg Hunt brigade is out and busy with the help from the far right Advance Australia lobby group, sandbagging their hero against the flood of discontent of the electorate (“Hunt gets support from the right” The News 9/4/19). Hopefully, Flinders voters will remember that

it was Mr Hunt who, as federal environment minister, gave Adani the first thumbs up for its environment-destroying mining venture in Queensland. And it was also he that was seeking to carve great chunks from our world heritage Tasmanian forests. Hopefully, Flinders will become a very marginal seat, which would most likely be a great thing for us all here on the Mornington Peninsula. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring beach

Budget trickery

The federal Liberal government is now trying to trick us again by considering the escalation of the tax cuts and bring them forward for 2024-25. They make it seem like they are doing something for us bottom feeders with this rhetoric. The Impact of tax cuts for working Australians is quite interesting and, of course, the politicians and aristocrats benefit the most: the lowest paid ($30,000) will get $200 while the politicians and aristocrats ($200,000) will get $7225. This is exactly in line with the last three tax cuts put forth by the Coalition (“coal” being the operative part of this word). Let’s think - the lowest paid will spend it and the politicians and aristocrats will do anything to avoid paying tax on it, will not spend it and will ship it to offshore to tax havens. Jobs are created by spending (demand) not by putting it in the bank. We need tax reforms that benefit most Australians not tax cuts that benefit politicians, aristocrats, and the corporate Mafia who minimise their tax contribution, if any, through sleight of hand. It astounds me that so many people vote against their own best interests time and time again. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Climate ‘reasoning’ Technology has made possible amazing opportunities for the improvement of our lives. However, technology must be understood and harnessed if we are to take advantage of this. Take computers, they have no natural intelligence and cannot assess data with reason. It is a GIGO system garbage in garbage out. Hence, it should not be used for analyses of data without checking the baseline assumptions. When assessing climate change, it is quite simple to use a computer to verify linkages which suit your own initial premises. In many cases, this will conflict with established laws of science. For example, there is evidence of a change in the Earth’s climate, but to link it with the increase of natural gases, such as CO2 is based purely on computer analyses and could therefore be GIGO. Pure science should evaluate the effects from the first and second laws of thermodynamics, which would give a totally different explanation for any temperature rise. Or what about medical science - all humans radiate an average of at least 50 watts of heat continuously, even when doing nothing. If children stayed in school and learned more science, they may understand other potential reasons for climate change. John Kuchel, Capel Sound

Rising climate I thank the Liberals for the cash gift of 35 cents a day towards my electricity costs. I also get a state pensioner concession of about 40 cents a day. I pay about 25 cents a day GST. Most annoyingly, I pay a flat 75 cents a day “service fee” for nothing. Electricity prices are held artificially high so that wind and solar installations can return a suitable profit on investment, otherwise such investments are not competitive with coal power. As well, these installations reduce the urgency of replacing essential but ancient, worn-out, existing coal fired generators. Hazelwood was closed so that it didn’t have to be rebuilt. The technical problems and complexities of connecting all of these relatively tiny, intermittent renewable generators and bringing their collective power to the cities is the problem of someone else. Am I being cynical in seeing how neatly the carbon-caused climate change scare theories fit in with big business investments and profiteering, while our governments spend many billions of dollars on infrastructure, mostly roads to cater for ever more polluting cars, trucks and people? Melbournians are paying off a desalination plant at $1.8 million a day, to a total of $9 billion over 28 years, built to conquer a 13-year never ending drought (caused by climate change) which promptly ended and we’ve never since needed that plant. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston’s Ragged Boys Home to get a new wing Compiled by Cameron McCullough AT the last meeting of the committee of the Ragged Boys’ Home it was reported that 40 boys were in residence at the Frankston Home, and it was agreed that a new wing be added to the home. Mr. J. Menzies, M.L.A. the chairman, announced that a donation of £100 had been promised for this work. Mr. William Brown was elected a member of the committee, and Mr Rushberry was appointed assistant secretary. *** THE date of the next meeting of the Frankston Progress Association has been moved forward a week to avoid the Easter holidays. *** FRANKSTON Repatriation Committee. At the last weekly meeting of this body the resignation of Mr. V. N. Hyndes as hon. secretary was received and accepted. Mr Hyndes has removed up to the city end, and on account of his studies has seen the necessity of applying all his time to this. The committee recognise the very useful work he has done whilst associated with them. Cr Mason was appointed in his stead. *** ATTENTION is directed to new advertisement appearing in this issue. Miss Nellie Thomson advises that she has taken over the dressmaking, millinery, and drapery business lately carried on by Mrs Lee in Young Street, and solicits a share of public patronage.

*** MESSRS May and Picking of Collins Street, Melbourne, announce the merits of “Stimla” which may be procured locally. *** WESTERNPORT Fishing Sections: As the result of last week’s conference between the Chief Inspector of Fisheries, Mr. C.E. Semmens had the representative of the various fishing sections at Westernport, it is likely that regulations will be gazetted reducing the maximum weekly catch for each fisherman from seven bags to five bags of three bushels each. The object of this limitation will be to prolong the life of the deep sea beds, which, under netting conditions, is necessarily limited. Careful provision will also be made, it is understood, for the disposal of the dredged rubbish and oyster shells, attached to which are invariably a quantity of young oysters capable of attaching themselves to new beds if chosen with discrimination. Feed and the nature of ocean current are the main considerations in the selection of such beds, but with the assistance of fishermen it is hoped to prolong the life of the oyster industry at Westernport, which was worth £8000 last year to the various fishingsections, for a considerable period. *** TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— I would deem it a favor if you would publish this letter for the benefit of a certain class of the community who find themselves completely “fuddled” when called upon to exercise their brains. A statement in the circular my wife

used to advertise her intention of opening a dancing class, appears to be the disturbing factor in this case. Such statement reads to the effect that she was, at some time, a pupil of Miss Jennie Brennan. At least one person (of the species to whom “thinking means headache”) found cause to doubt the veracity of that statement, and went to the trouble of sending one of the circulars to Miss Brennan, evidently for verification purposes, or to obtain information that would show my wife to be sailing under false colors. I can quite imagine the feeling of satisfaction the person in question would enjoy on hearing Miss Brennan answer that she “never had a Mrs Fielder as a pupil.” The fact that Mrs Fielder was “Miss Somebody” before she became “Mrs Somebody,” and that it was during the “Miss” period of her life that she was under tuition from Miss Brennan was too soft to penetrate the thick skulls of the “Fuddled Ones”. Should any person of the class referred to feel that they would sleep more peacefully if they were in possession of my wife’s maiden name, I will give the consideration to any personal application at the address appended hereto.—Yours &c., J. H. FIELDER, “Erinville”, Playne St. Frankston. *** Heard in the Train. That the Frankston Welcome Home Committee are again getting busy, and intend launching an “extra special” in the Mechanics’ Hall on Friday, 2nd May. All are expected to join in and at

least say “how-de-do” to our returned boys. That a party of Frankston gentlemen had a merry motor spin to Chelsea, or thereabouts, the other evening. That one genial sport of the party in making provision to protect his frame from the biting breeze experienced on the homeward journey, unwittingly succeeded in presenting a physiognomy so like “old Bill” of “Better ‘Ole” renown, that his companions roared with merriment. That Messrs Brody and Mason’s Frankston market on Wednesday attracted a record attendance to compete for a record entry of produce. That the market is a triumph for local enterprise, and is rapidly becoming one of the most important exchanges outside of Melbourne. That Auctioneer Mason did not relish the task of submitting Major Condor’s well-known charger “Midnight” to auction. It was too significant of other charges looming ahead. That Mornington footballers made a bad start for the season by failing to fulfil their engagement with the Frankston club last Saturday. That Frankston players assembled in full force and were considerably disappointed at the non arrival of the neighboring team. That the locals looked quite smart and business like in their new uniforms, and give promise of placing the red and black in a prominent position in the forthcoming competition. That the Frankston team has a solid backer in the clubs president – Mr. E. J. Parker, while their Secretary, Mr Matt. Kemp, seems to have the happy knack of keeping players together.

That Frankston’s erstwhile champion “Smitho” donned the colors for the first time on Saturday since his German smashing exploits. That quite a number of returned boys throughout the Peninsula are expected to do battle on the green during the competition matches. That the Somerville Football Club has been re-formed under the most favorable auspices, and intends joining the association. That the lads of the — — — intend putting in a strong claim for premiership honors this year. *** MUNICIPAL Notices. Shire of Frankston, Hastings. LIST OF DEFAULTING RATEPAYERS having been Compiled, of those owing General Rate, Separate Rate and Pan Fee Arrears in the above Shire, and Final Demands having been issued last July and August, TAKE NOTICE that if these Arrears are not paid within FOURTEEN DAYS from date hereof Legal Proceedings will be taken for their recovery – in every case. JOHN E. JONES, Shire Secretary. 12th April, 1919. *** Mornington Peninsula Football Association. A GENERAL MEETING of all Football Clubs interested will be held at the Somerville Hotel at 8 p.m. sharp on Wednesday, April 23. THOS.

Sharks swim out of troubled waters DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn SORRENTO have edged out Mt Eliza in a thriller at David Macfarlane Reserve to back up their impressive victory over the Stonecats last week. The Sharks were once again made to fight back from behind, after a five goal to zero second term had the Redlegs 29 points up at the main break. After not making much progress chipping away the deficit in the third term, Sorrento required a massive final quarter to win. A six goals to zip surge in the last quarter saw the Sharks drag themselves over the line in a hard fought 11.13 (79) to 10.11 (71) victory. Luke Lowden and Leigh Poholke scored three goals apiece for the Sharks in their winning effort. Frankston YCW had less trouble in their clash against Mornington, as they made amends for their round one loss in convincing fashion. The Bulldogs looked on the backfoot from the get go, as YCW managed an astonishing 51 shots at goal. Their inaccuracy stopped the margin from blowing out to a disastrous degree. The Stonecats showed their intent to improve in 2019 by securing the win 9.6 (60) to 19.32 (146). Lachlan Street was best afield for the Stonecats, kicking four majors. Jackson Calder did his best for the Bulldogs and scored five. Dromana continue to look right at home playing Division One football, as they got the best of Frankston Bombers. Playing at home, Dromana were able to put the game to bed with a first half in which they held the Bombers goalless. Down 47 points at the main break, the Bombers could do little to fight their way back. Although much better in the second half, the Bombers still succumbed to a disappointing defeat 13.10 (88) to 6.12 (48). At Eric Bell Reserve, Pines continued their premiership defence with a scrappy win over Edithvale-Aspendale. Pines led at each break in the low scoring affair, although Edi-Asp kept in touch. The final score read 9.14 (68) to 7.4 (46). Bonbeach enjoyed a victory over Rosebud at home, thanks to a six goal haul from Joseph Fisscher. Rosebud started well but eventually fell away, losing 12.14 (86) to 9.7 (61). Bonbeach will take on Edithvale-Aspendale in a Good Friday clash at Regents Park this weekend. The action will kick off from 2pm, with both sides looking to move to 2-1 to start the year.

Stonecats dominate: The Doggies had their tails between their legs in their clash against Frankston YCW, but if it wasn’t for inaccuracy in front of goal, the result could have been much worse. Picture: Alan Dillon

Somerville spoil the Yabbies’ party DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn TYABB brought out the big guns on Saturday with AFL premiership winning forward Travis Cloke running out for a one-off appearance, but their Somerville opponents were out to spoil the party. For the Yabbies it was a day of wasted chances, as they struggled to hit the scoreboard and convert their opportunities into goals. Somerville flexed their own forward line muscles away from home, with Paul Fermanis and Ryan Gillis both booting four. Despite the help from their former Collingwood star, Tyabb fell to defeat 11.16 (82) to 14.18 (102).

PAGE 36

Cloke kicked two for the day. Karingal’s superstar forward recruit had a better day at Chelsea Reserve, booting five majors to help his side to victory against Chelsea. Marc Holt backed up his bag of seven from last week with a bag of five this time around, taking his tally for the year to 16 from three games. The Seagulls were competitive and held the lead going into the final break, but the Bulls proved just too strong and ran away with it 11.7 (73) to 13.10 (88). The win is the Bulls’ third from three games, as they look one of the firm favourites to fight for the premiership this season. At Belvedere Reserve, Seaford se-

Western Port News 17 April 2019

cured a huge win over Langwarrin to keep up their fight for promotion back to division one. The Tigers put a competitive contest to bed by tearing the Kangaroos apart in the third quarter. Aaron Walton and Sam Lonie were big contributors for the winning outfit, putting through four goals each to help their side to a 15.16 (106) to 7.11 (53) win. Around the grounds, Red Hill fired a warning shot to the rest of the competition by scoring a ruthless and dominant win over Pearcedale. Pearcedale were helpless against the dazzling Red Hill, with the scoreline reading 96 to zero midway through the third term.

Red Hill were out to make a statement, and the flow of goals never stopped. They claimed the win 24.25 (169) to 2.3 (15). Last year’s grand final losers proved they have what it takes to go one better in 2019. Jonathon Ross scored five goals for the Hillmen, while Harry Wynn-Pope and Jake Mold also had dominant displays. Things were much closer at Glover Reserve, as Devon Meadows clawed over the line against Crib Point. With the lead at each break of play standing at less than a goal, the Magpies stayed right in the contest until the end. Devon Meadows secured the four points as the final siren sounded with

the scoreboard reading 9.14 (68) to 9.3 (57). Playing away from home against Rye, Hastings secured another big win to go two from two in 2019. Star recruit Brendan Fevola has yet to pull on the jumper for the Blues, but that hasn’t stopped them from hitting the ground running this season. Their win takes them up to second in the ladder, only behind Karingal because the Bulls have played an extra game. Luke Hewitt and Taylor Stratton shared the goal kicking responsibility for Hastings with three each, as their side got the best of Rye 8.10 (58) to 11.15 (81).

Council gives Somerville $550,000 SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SOMERVILLE Eagles have secured significant grants from Mornington Peninsula Shire council. The promotion-chasing State 5 club understands that the council will spend $500,000 on clubrooms at Tyabb Central Reserve while also allocating $50,000 for a feasibility study which it hopes will identify a permanent home for the Eagles. “It’s not official yet but we understand that we’ve been granted the money which is great news for our club,” president Luke Mulder said. The Tyabb Cricket Club shares the reserve and will also benefit from a clubroom upgrade. The feasibility study will centre on Clarendon Reserve in Somerville and will look at the viability of developing three pitches with clubrooms at that venue. Currently the Eagles alternate between playing home games at Tyabb Central Reserve and on a synthetic pitch at Somerville Secondary College. “It’s exciting times for the club and the local community and a great reward for the amount of hard work the committee puts in to running the club and I know how hard they have pushed to get this far,” joint senior coach Scott Morrison said. “It’s been a tough juggling act for the club these past few years having to use different pitches but for everyone in the local community it will be amazing to get this soccer complex across the line in Somerville.” Another benefactor of a funding grant was NPL2 title contender Langwarrin who announced last week that it had secured $375,000 from the federal government’s Community Development Grants Programme. This will fund a stage 1 project to install floodlights on pitch 3 at Lawton Park and electrical upgrades to allow the as yet unfunded stage 2 which will install floodlights on the main pitch and upgrade the current floodlights on the top pitch near the entrance to the complex. The news wasn’t as positive on the main pitch last Saturday when Langy lost its NPL2 clash 1-0 against Manningham United Blues. The home side failed to clear following a long throw-in from the right in the 16th minute allowing Manningham’s Billy Romas to slam the ball home from close range. Last week Langwarrin announced the signing of defender Luke Goulding from Melbourne Victory, younger brother of senior team midfielder Cal-

lum. Luke Goulding is 18 and Langy is able to sign players from other NPL clubs outside the transfer window if they are under-20s. It’s believed that Kingston City midfielder Cooper Legrand remains firmly on Langy’s radar. The Mauritian international can’t be signed until the transfer window opens on 14 May. In State 1 news Mornington got back to winning ways when it downed Mazenod Victory 2-1 at Dallas Brooks Park last Friday night. Veteran striker Nick Waite was the local hero with two goals in the opening eight minutes, the first coming after a mistimed punch from Mazenod keeper Robbie Acs in the first minute. Waite was lurking as usual at the back post and when the ball fell at his feet Mazenod’s fate was sealed. Seven minutes later Waite’s attempted through ball was cut out but he followed up and slammed home a shot from inside the area to give the home side a two-goal cushion. Amir Osmancevic could have ended Mazenod’s hopes in the first few seconds of the second half but his near post header was well parried by Acs. Mazenod scored in the 53rd minute when Rob D’Angelo’s cutback from the left was met first time by Jayson Gucciardo whose low strike gave Mornington keeper Taylor Davidson

little chance. In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers went down 3-0 at home to BoroondaraCarey Eagles. The visitors were 2-0 at half-time and Lachlan Nichols’ second goal in the 72nd minute settled the issue. In State 3 news Frankston Pines received bad news last week when midfielder Cam Bryden was ruled out for the rest of the season with an ACL tear. The injury occurred during the club’s FFA Cup loss to Thornbury Athletic in early March but was initially misdiagnosed and now Bryden requires surgery. Fellow midfielder Joe O’Connor suffered a corked thigh against Whitehorse United on 6 April and could miss another fortnight. Their absence forced head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor to rearrange his side for last Friday’s home clash with Collingwood City. But it was like shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic because Pines were thumped 5-0 by the ladder leader. This Pines side is a far cry from the Pines of old. Too many players wearing the club colours on Friday were non-combative and even pulled out of 50/50 challenges while some of the defending was farcical. Add this to an inability to create chances against a team that closes down well and is good on the ball and

it’s a recipe for disaster. Meanwhile fellow State 3 rival Skye United lost 3-1 to Elwood City at Elwood Park on Saturday. Midfielder Mark O’Connor scored for Skye which is still searching for its first league win of the season as is neighbouring Pines. In State 4 news Baxter earned its first point of the season thanks to a 1-1 draw with fellow struggler Dingley Stars at Baxter Park last weekend. Dingley took the lead in the 38th minute when Baxter was caught on the break and Erman Sepetci raced clear before striking a low shot across Baxter keeper James Foster and in off the far post. Baxter had to wait until the 89th minute for the equaliser and it came from substitute Lewis Gibson’s well-taken penalty conversion. Much has been made of Baxter’s nightmare start to its 2019 campaign but this was a competitive and spirited display albeit against another lowly ranked outfit. Veteran defender Matt McDermott has added some steel to the side and attacks the ball with intent while Nat Daher’s second half was excellent and his eagerness to run at opponents and take them on was a highlight. Fatih Akdogan took over the senior coaching reins at Dingley last week after the club parted company with Billy Armour and Billy Rae. Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United went down 2-1 at home to Endeavour United on Saturday. A fast break from Sebastian Goyenechea in the 13th minute and a welltimed cross should have provided an easy tap in for Endeavour forward Ifeolewa Ogidan but his miscued strike eventually crossed the line despite a defender and Seaford keeper Anthony Madafferi both getting a touch. Conor Mcfall, Jack Carter, Mitch Lander and Naseer Mohammad all had shots on target for the home side only to be denied by Franc Marateo with some solid saves. Lander equalised in the 37th minute after rounding two defenders and effecting a clinical finish and the sides went in locked at 1-1 at the interval. The decider came in the 83rd minute when Madafferi parried and former Langwarrin midfielder Matt Morgan struck a firm shot which Madafferi got a hand to but only succeeded in deflecting the ball into the roof of the net. In State 5 news Aspendale Stingrays recorded their first league win under Lee Barber when they defeated Rosebud 3-1 at Olympic Park last weekend. Pal Calvino scored with a header from a corner in the 14th minute.

ROUND 3 S U N D AY A P R I L 2 1 F R A N KSTO N VS CO B U R G P L AY E D AT P I R A N H A PA R K AT 2 . 1 0 P M

The Stingrays dominated the first half and two goals from Kenan Nuhanovic sent them in at the break with a three-goal cushion. Rosebud’s reply came in the 85th minute after a penalty was awarded for handling and Blake Hicks converted from the spot. Aspendale’s best were Calvino, Kieran Hughes, Peter Dimopoulos and Guilherme Ribeiro. Somerville Eagles bounced back from the previous week’s reversal to beat Pakenham United 2-0 at IYU Reserve on Saturday. Ben Meiklem started on the bench after his switch from Baxter late last week. Somerville talisman Mark Pagliarulo had returned from a holiday on the Gold Coast and gave the visitors the lead in the 40th minute when he rolled his marker and smacked home a low drive. Eagles co-coach Dave Greening had chances to increase the lead but eventually they forged further ahead after good work by Meiklem set up Pagliarulo in the 72nd minute and his firm strike gave Pakenham keeper Jarrod Reynolds no chance. In NPLW news Southern United’s senior and under-19 teams both lost 10-0 to Box Hill United last weekend. Southern’s under-16s won 7-1 with goals from Rhys McKenna (4), Eden McKeown (2) and Danica Vukcevic. Vukcevic’s backheel volley was the most spectacular of the goals but an interpassing move starting from the right-back position involving five players ended with a cheeky sidefoot volley from McKenna for the best team goal of the contest. Southern’s under-14s won 2-1 with goals from Erica-Derrick Sarfo-Sarpong and Rhiannon Kelleher. In FFA Cup action a floodlight failure in the 70th minute last Wednesday forced an abandonment of Skye United’s thrilling round 5 tie away to Upfield with scores locked at 5-5. Skye’s goals came from Mitch Blake (2), Nic Miliaresis (2) and Mark O’Connor. Football Victoria has taken both clubs by surprise by scheduling the replay for Darebin tomorrow night (Tuesday). This week’s games: TUESDAY, 8.30pm: Upfield v Skye Utd (round 5 FFA Cup, Darebin International Sports Centre). THURSDAY, 8pm: Corio v Langwarrin (round 5 FFA Cup, Hume Reserve, North Geelong).

Douglas lands Super win at Caulfield By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based jockey Clayton Douglas landed his maiden victory at Caulfield on Saturday 13 April. Having had previously ridden at the track four times, the prominent jumps and flat jockey steered the Anthony Freedman-trained hot-pot Super Seth to a last-to-first victory in the opening race. After a six-length debut win, Super Seth overcame a muddling a tempo and an awkward position before ultimately pulling away for a comfortable one-length victory over the Leon and Troy Corstens-trained Stand To Attention. Jockey, Clayton Douglas, said he rode the two-year-old son of Dundeel as if he was the best horse in the field. “From what he did on debut, I sort of knew the sort of horse that I had underneath me – I’ve ridden him in a little bit of trackwork too,” Douglas said. “The boss said to me ‘just be patient, take your time, you know he’s a good horse so just let things unfold’. From the inside draw I was a little bit worried that I could probably get caught up in traffic but I was able to edge my way out and once he got out into open air, he really hit the line hard.” “I haven’t ridden many (classy horses) in a race but I think this

one’s pretty good.” That victory provided Douglas with his fifth metropolitan win for the season. It also provided the Freedman stable with their 10th twoyear-old winner for the season. Trainer Anthony Freedman said connections have a decision to make

on Super Seth’s immediate future. “(Brisbane’s) an option. We’ve had that in the back of our mind with him as is a race at Flemington on Anzac Day so we’ll work it out. He might even go for a spell,” he said. Freedman also gave an insight into the pending decision with Godol-

phin two-year-old Chenier, who was beaten as an odds-on favourite at Sandown last week. Next Saturday’s Group 1 Champagne Stakes at Randwick remains an option but Freedman is thinking of putting an end to his campaign. “I am leaning towards going for

a spell,” he said. “He’s not really a two-year-old. I think he went OK the other day. The track didn’t really work out for him. He’s a big-striding horse and I think he struggled in that soft ground. He’ll be fine in the spring and that’s the way I am leaning.”

Under 19’s hand out a 27 goal thumping CRIB POINT FNC

A VERY promising day for Crib Point in the football department began with a 27 goal win in the U19’s to the Magpies. Tom Panich had the ball on a string in the forward 50, finishing the game with ten majors on the board, while Connor Perry had six, alongside Riley Bracun, Jack Field and Blake Mealey who all contributed three. It was hard to fault their team performance, perhaps most note worthy was the best on ground performance of silky moving Anderson Miller among an array of goal kickers. The reserves side this week saw four U19’s players be elevated to the lineup which proved a masterstroke. A close fought contest saw the margin deviate all of three points at each of the breaks leading into the last, with Devon Meadows edging the Magpies out of it. Fortunately, after many missed

PAGE 38

chances, the Magpies were able to capitalize on their opportunities in the last and build a lead of 14 points to round out the game. Not to be mistaken for Jim Levenstein, Ben Wigan was significant on the wing and across the half backline all game, while another familiar face in Kye Espenschied was crucial across half forward. Other notable performances included Harry Waterfall, who had a last quarter to remember and Mac Pittock who monstered an experienced Devon Meadows ruck division. The senior side this week demonstrated they have a key group of young talent that can put the club in a very favourable position moving forward. Coming up against a much more seasoned side in Devon Meadows, the Magpies put on a display of fast moving football that showcased the raw talent of the list.

Western Port News 17 April 2019

New recruit Matt Collett fired up forward slotting two goals, while Jayden MacNab and Luke Herrington lead the charge across the half back line and throughout the middle of the ground. A close tussle throughout the game saw Crib Point fall short by 11 points, with a few late decisions and bounces of the ball not going their way. Although a loss was not the result we were after, the determination of the playing group to tough it out to the very end and continue to play their game was very encouraging. In the netball, the U/17s had high hopes following their amazing effort last week. Unfortunately, the girls struggled to bring the ball down the court and convert turnovers. Defensive pressure was a highlight. BOC went to Chantelle for her good direction in the ring and some great takes against tall opponents! D Grade showed a remarkable im-

provement from last week! The girls took on the coaches’ feedback and implemented it throughout the game. Although they didn’t come away with the win, it was a really competitive game. The team remained positive and fought to the very last whistle. Watch this space as these girls have a lot of potential. BOC went to Meg Romeril. C grade played a very strong and physical side and unfortunately didn’t bring their best performance. Devon applied strong defensive pressure leading to too many turnovers. There were some passages of good play to build upon. BOC went to Mikaela Foy for her positivity and continued efforts at the ball. B grade had a tough day at the office! A strong Devon played a very physical game. Our girls had a great start but fell away after the first five minutes. The girls should be proud of fighting back from a seven goal

deficit at half time to be back in the game. Unfortunately, we were unable to come up with the win. BOC went to Laura Herrington who was an absolute game changer in goals with her accuracy and leadership! A Grade had an amazing start which set them up nicely for a convincing win. With all four premium players available this week, the team had to mix up their combinations and play out of position. It was great to see the versatility of the team and keep the girls mentally challenged. BOC went to Kellie Davidson for her multiple intercepts and relentless pressure. This week we look forward to a Good Friday clash under lights against Red Hill at home. Following the game, the club will be open for a seafood platter function night where live music and good vibes are on the menu. Hope to see everyone there as we look to keep the season rolling. Go Crib!

Another title for “Sugar Kane” Watts By Melissa Walsh KANE Watts defeated Jayden “Plugger” Joseph to take out the WBA Oceania cruiserweight title at the Melbourne Pavilion on March 1, in a bout that lasted the whole ten rounds. The six foot one, 200 pound boxer whose fighting name is “Sugar Kane” is a peninsula icon, having grown up in the area and playing for the Hastings and Mornington football clubs in his early days. “I started out as a kid when dad used to take me to taekwondo, and then moved onto kick boxing at the Somerville Martial Arts when I was 14,” says Watts, who came back to fighting last September after a two year hiatus. “My dad was training there and I used to go with him for fitness in between footy seasons.” “It was awesome to win the WBA Oceania title after a two year layoff. My first fight was in September and this one was on the cards for December but had to be delayed as I had a broken eye socket,” said Watts, who did eight intensive weeks preparation for the March fight. “I have never fought Plugger before as he is fairly new to the scene, starting about three years ago, but he held the Australian title before this,” he said. “It was a great fight going all ten rounds and I came off fairly unscathed.” With a fatal shooting outside on the night of the boxing tournament, Watts says he was unsure if the fight was even going to go ahead. “We were in the dressing room

when a security guard came in and said to run as there was shooting going on outside,” said Watts of the incident that was an escalation of an ongoing feud linked to a suspicious blaze at a Maribyrnong warehouse. “The match was delayed 40 minutes and we were unaware of what had even happened,” said Watts. “It was not the best lead up having something like that happen.” The title means Watts is rated number 15 in the world in the WBA, and he plans on looking to future fights. “I really enjoy training and the challenge of the fight, which I have been doing since I was a kid,” said Watts whose grandfather used to be a boxer years ago. “They called him the Springvale Kid, and I planned to have my first fight before he passed away.” Watts did have his first fight a month before his grandfather passed and while he couldn’t be there, his pride was always known. “I am also extremely lucky to have the Kings Creek Hotel as my sponsor. The pub in Hastings is an icon and I love that it is back to my home roots where I always used to hang out,” he said.

Road to victory: Kane Watts in his 2015 Australian title win over Emosi Solitua at the Melbourne Pavilion, Flemington.
