Top bids ensure care for Coolart AN auction of antique furniture and old wares has raised $8000 for the ongoing restoration work at Coolart Homestead, Somers. The items, including curtains, crockery, beds, chairs, pool table, sewing machine, paintings and dressing tables from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, were donated by the owners of the heritage-listed Landene, in St Kilda Road, Melbourne. The 1895 home had been used as a boarding house and then became the St Kilda Post Office in 1962. “[The owners] had no room for any more furniture and generously asked if we would like it,” Friends of Coolart president Julie Ebbott said. “The most highly contested item was a cedar and brass sailor’s sea chest that had a reserve of $200 yet sold for $520,” Ms Ebbott said. “On the other hand, a brass double bed with mattress and base in tiptop condition was knocked down for just $20. The buyers said they would not be able to buy pillow cases for that small amount.” The auction proceeds will be added to a $196,000 place-making grant from Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Shire to drown in fees, costs Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council is bracing for a “substantial administrative and enforcement obligation” when tough state government pool and spa regulations come into force early next year. The shire estimates it has about 10 per cent of the state’s private swimming pools and spas – the most of any local government area. About 17,000 are “known” to exist although the actual number could be as high as 25,000 – or one-in-four properties. The dates they were built are uncertain for all but 18 per cent – or 3040 – of the known 17,000.

Officers estimate that up to 80 per cent of these pools and spas will be non-compliant under the new rules. These statistics are set to trigger a workload avalanche that the shire admits it is ill-equipped to handle. And it will be costly: The mayor Cr David Gill said the fees the council was obliged to charge would not equal the cost of enforcing the state’s new rules. “It will cost the shire – the ratepayers – up to $100 for every registration for which we will be reimbursed $57,” he said. “We estimate that the whole process, including administration costs, time spent chasing fees and fines, employing inspectors, and tracking down undeclared pools and spas, will cost $2-$3

million in the first few years. “After that this figure will come down.” Statutory building manager David Kotsiakos reported to last week’s council meeting that the new rules aimed to reduce drownings among young children by improving safety barriers. He said since 2000 there had been 27 fatalities and for every fatality 15 “near misses” often causing brain injury. Councils across the state will be required to establish and maintain pool and spa registers when the act comes into force on 1 December 2019. Existing owners must pay a $37 oneoff registration fee by 14 April 2020. This will show the build date of the pool or spa (a difficult ask for 82 per

cent of pools/spas on the peninsula), the standard of safety barriers, and the date the owner must provide the first Certificate of Compliance. Failing to register a pool or spa carries a fine of $330.44. Mandatory inspections will be carried out every three years. The owner must engage a registered officer (building surveyor, building inspector or private ‘inspector’) to ensure safety barriers are effective, working correctly and comply with standards. The owner then must lodge the certificate of compliance with the shire within 30 days for a fee of $20. Three stages of lodgements are proposed, with dates for the first Certificate of Compliance dependant on the

pool’s construction: 30 October 2020 for pools or spas built before 30 June 1994; 30 April 2021 for those built 1 July 1994-1 May 2010, and 29 October 2021 for those built after 1 May 2010. Owners found to have non-compliant safety barriers can take 20 days to rectify problems or they will be issued with non-compliance certificates costing $385. The shire will pursue this amount. Owners can apply for time extensions if compliance work takes longer than expected. Cr Gill said he regretted that the shire would be forced to rely on non-compliance fees to help defray costs. “It’s not a position we like being in,” he said. “But in the initial stages that is the reality.”

High flyers rapped over land clearing MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council has praised residents for their “vigilance” in detecting and reporting illegal foreshore works on the beachside of a Portsea property owned by trucking magnate Lindsay Fox. The mayor Cr David Gill said the residents “assisted in bringing this matter to our attention [and] demonstrated our community’s desire to protect the peninsula’s unique environment”. This led to a company associated with Mr Fox being fined $10,000 in Dromana Magistrates’ Court and ordered to pay the council $10,000 in costs over illegal works on a 4600 square metre parcel at Point King beach. (“Fox fined over beach land” The News 10/9/2019). But Mr Fox is not the only high-flyer falling foul of the shire’s land-clearing and planning laws. Dual-Brownlow medalist Chris Judd was last week fined $40,000 and ordered to pay $6000 costs by the same court for wholesale clearing of 3000 square metres of private land at Main Ridge. The shire brought the charges under the Planning and Environment Act 1987. The former Carlton champion was caught out by “happenstance” when a council employee took photos of the

cleared land for his own use which were later used as evidence at the trial. The mayor Cr David Gill slammed recalcitrant landowners for trying to bring “their own brand of urbanisation” into the indigenous peninsula environment. “Judd tried to turn sensitive bushland into a park,” he said. “His was a severe case of land clearing.” Cr Gill said the fines imposed on the pair would not be their only expenses. “We will follow up restoration of the land in the Fox and Judd cases through VCAT and it will be costly for both of them,” he said. “It might take years to restore their land but if they think they can just use their money and it will be all done and dusted it will not be.”

HASTINGS Combined Probus Club will be holding its 25th birthday celebration at The Hastings Club, 11am, Monday 7 October. The aim of Probus is friendship and happiness. Members hear from guest speakers on different subjects. Monthly morning teas and lunches are held at a range of venues. Trips are taken, the most recent being to Broken Hill and surrounds.

POSTERS supportting the continued operation of Tyabb Airfield have started popping up around the Western Port area. The poster campaign follows the easing of a protracted dispute with Mornington Peninsula Shire over plane take-off and landing times. The shire has said it supports the airfield but will insist that businesses operating there have appropriate permits.

The posters were the brainchild of Alicia Slater and Paul Mercurio, who said on social media: “It is our opportunity to voice and display our positive support for Tyabb Airfield. “Getting as many people as we can putting up our posters will show just how many Tyabb residents support the airfield and all that work there.” Peninsula Aero Club president Jack Vevers said more than 150 posters

Safety Beach beauty takes on Miss Tourism Australia Catch of the bays helps By Stephen Taylor A SAFETY Beach girl who embodies the values of the Mornington Peninsula’s healthy outdoor lifestyle is the new face of our international tourism efforts. Miss Tourism Australia winner Charli Wookey, 19, is getting ready to head to Malaysia to compete in this year’s International Miss Tourism Final in November. Charli, who attended Rosebud Secondary College, will compete against entrants from 40 countries in the lead up to the coronation ceremony at Sunway Resort Hotel and Spa, Kuala Lumpur. Her role as Miss Tourism Australia promotes Australia as a tourist destination which should suit Charli’s lifestyle: the outdoors girl is a member of the Peninsula Board Riders, and has competed in surfing competitions at Gunnamatta, Rye, Portsea and Pt Leo. She is thrilled to be heading overseas. “It is a good opportunity for fun and experience,” she said. “I’d be stoked to win it. It would definitely boost my confidence and improve my modelling career. “It would certainly help get my name out there.” Charli, also aspiring actress, studies the craft at the Acting Performance Studio, Moorabbin. Miss Tourism Australia is her first pageant. It aims to boost the international and domestic marketing of tourism in Australia, and increase opportunities and demand for Australia as a destination for leisure and business travel. Miss Tourism Australia director Deborah Miller said our girls had placed in the top 5 at the international competition over the past three years. “It provides a platform for talented, beautiful and educated young women to promote tourism internationally and communicate what it means to be Australian,” she said. By the sounds of it, Charli will be right at home.

scientists track fish VOLUNTEER fishers working as citizen scientists to tag, release and report the capture of King George whiting in Port Phillip and Western Port bays is helping improve knowledge of their behaviour. The fishers, working on a threeyear Monash University research project paid for through recreational fishing licence fees, are helping track the fish’s movement patterns. “We know whiting enter our bays when they’re only a few months old and leave again at about four years of age to mature and begin spawning offshore,” Victorian Fisheries Authority CEO Travis Dowling said. “What we don’t know is how juveniles move within and between our bays up until they depart.” Fishers have tagged nearly 700 whiting, the biggest 48cm, with 60 per cent in Port Phillip at Queenscliff, Geelong, St Leonards and Clifton Springs, and 40 per cent in Western Port at Somers, Tortoise Head and Middle Spit. Mr Dowling said 39 tagged whiting had been recaptured so far and none had moved between bays or offshore – yet. “In Western Port, one tagged whiting moved 20km from Somers to Dickies Bay, at San Remo, over 11 months, growing 5cm from 35 to 40cm,” Mr Dowling

said. “Another showed the greatest short-term movement recorded so far in the study, swimming from Somers to Middle Spit in a bit over three weeks – that’s about 24km! “In Port Phillip, one tagged whiting was recaptured near Queenscliff by the same angler who’d tagged it 45 minutes after it had been released.” Mr Dowling said the longest period between tagging and recapture was 16 months. The fish had grown 11cm – from 33 to 44 cm. Like most recaptured fish, this whiting was caught close to where it was tagged. “As fish get older and start to move out onto the coast, more recaptures from further afield are expected.” Mr Dowling said it was hoped the project would reveal more secrets this summer. He said much of the credit could be attributed to just four keen fishers who have tagged and released 83 per cent of the whiting in the study. “It’s great to see passionate fishers so involved in local research, on a species they really care about.” Fishers catching a King George whiting carrying a yellow tag should report it to whitingtag@ gmail.com or call 5258 3686. They should record the tag number, fish length, date and location of capture before releasing the fish.

Multi-million upgrade at reserve RENOVATIONS underway at Crib Point Recreation Reserve include improving the change rooms and reconstructing the oval. Mornington Peninsula Shire is spending about $3 million on the mixed gender and accessible change rooms and a new playing surface, drainage and irrigation. The mayor Cr David Gill said the project was a timely response to the rapid increase in sports participation in recent years, particularly female and juniors in field-based sports. “Through these projects we’re making improvements to our sporting facilities where it’s needed most,” he said.

Nominate a local hero

“We’re working to close the gap in local sporting facilities and provide inclusive, accessible and functional community assets.” Crib Point oval will receive a new playing surface, drainage and irrigation works. Cr Kate Roper said the ground’s surface had deteriorated significantly in recent years compromising the use of the facility. “Upgrading Crib Point Rec Reserve will increase the capacity of the oval giving the women’s team a home base for training and competition,” she said. “The new oval will also open the reserve to additional programming

opportunities and make it easier for everyone to get involved in local sport.” Works will start this month and be completed by April. Later this year, the pavilion change rooms will be upgraded to prove better and more accessible facilities for the cricket and football clubs. The works will include storage, medical room and umpires change rooms. This project is being funded by the shire’s capital works program. The oval reconstruction will cost $960,000 and the change rooms $2 million. To learn more about the project, visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/majorprojects

MP wants harder line taken against animal activists MORNINGTON Peninsula farmers and animal producers may soon be protected from animal rights activists trespassing on their properties. The issue was highlighted earlier this year when animal activists occupied a Tyabb chicken farm. The Crimes Amendment (Trespass) Bill 2019, introduced into the state Legislative Council by Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party MP Jeff Bourman last week aims to “enhance protections offered to industries pertaining to animal enterprise and animal recreational activities”. After several incidents involving animal activists entering businesses and farms, the issue was referred to a house committee to inquire into and report on a response, if any was needed. Despite it going to committee, Mr Bourman said he wanted the draft legislation to proceed. “I don’t need an inquiry to tell me what is right and that what has been going on for decades is a problem and what will need to be done to fix it,” he said. “The state of Victoria needs to change its archaic trespass laws to reflect modern times and modern problems.” Mr Bourman’s bill aims to enhance protections to animal-related industries and create specific offences relating to trespass on land with intent to interfere with activities involving animals. It will also increase penalties for new offences relating to trespass to be “in line with current

community expectations”. This will include but not be limited to mandatory minimum nonparole sentences. “Current sentencing for related crimes has been widely criticised, given the gravity of the offences, for not being sufficient,” Mr Bourman said. “Extremist animal activism is not a peaceful protest movement, it is a hostile and aggressive activist movement that is invading people’s workplaces, which in many instances are also their homes, as well as aggressively confronting anyone who engages in any activity they don’t like. “They have taken the movement from the town square and public land onto private land and into people’s homes.” Mr Bourman said: “We are all entitled to a safe work environment which in most farming cases is a home. We are entitled to be free from unauthorised and illegal surveillance equipment in our workplaces, we are entitled to go to work without the threat of activists busting in, either overtly or covertly.”

With Stephen Taylor

Australia Post robbery IT took only a minute for two offenders to force their way into the Australia Post shop at Mornington and force open self-serve machines before fleeing with a “large amount of cash”, early Wednesday 11 September. CCTV images show the men parking a dark coloured late model Land Cruiser or similar outside the shop in Main Street at 3am before breaking open the glass front door. The robbery is similar to a raid on self-service registers at the Woolworths supermarket, also in Main Street, 1.50am, Wednesday 4 September. In that raid three offenders stole two whole self-serve machines containing large amounts and dragged them out to a dark-coloured SUV in the car park. Detectives from the Eastern Metropolitan Crime Task Force are investigating.

Charges over raids A CRIB Point teenager has been arrested and charged over a series of raids on chemist shops at Somerville, Hastings and Balnarring, overnight Friday 6 September. Detective Senior Constable Rohan Brock, of Somerville CIU, said the 19-year-old was tackled by a “Good Samaritan” as he left one of the shops early Saturday morning. During what was termed an “altercation” his keys were thrown into a bush and he was intercepted by police

before he could find them and drive off. The man has been charged with four counts of burglary and remanded in custody. As he was on bail for other matters in Bendigo it is unclear whether he will face court at Frankston or there.

‘Darwin Award’ entrant intercepted SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol officers who pulled over an unregistered car on Frankston-Dandenong Road, outside Bunurong Cemetery, last week, were aghast when the driver told them he’d been drinking all night. He then blew 0.183 per cent. The man lost his licence on the spot and had his car impounded for a month with a release fee of $969. So far this year 13 people have lost their lives on Frankston and Mornington Peninsula roads.

Operation Argus wraps up OPERATION Argus conducted 4547 breath tests detecting 11 drink drivers; conducted 228 drug tests detecting 14 drug drivers and detected 289 other offences, including speeding and using mobile phones, in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula areas. The operation, which ran from

Thursday 5 to Sunday 8 September, was run by police of all ranks working non-stop to “make the roads safer”. Two serious injury collisions in the area over the period included a car running off Ballarto Road and hitting a tree, 9.20am, Thursday 5 September. The driver is suspected of falling asleep. The other involved an Uber driver running a red light at the intersection of Cranbourne Road and Beach Street, Frankston, 10.50am, Sunday 8 September, and hitting another car.

Air Wing spots speedster A FRANKSTON woman pulled over on Sky Road, Frankston, was detected by the Air Wing travelling at 186kph in a 100kph zone, Wednesday 11 September. The 36-year-old woman was spotted from the air in a black Holden SS Commodore speeding on the Monash Freeway and EastLink as she headed towards the Peninsula about 4.15am. The woman, who tested positive to methyl-amphetamine and cannabis, told police she wanted to get home to her children and take them to school. She is expected to be charged on summons with drug driving, exceeding the speed limit by more than 45kph and driving in a manner dangerous and speed dangerous. Her

car was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1390.

Cyclists be seen, be safer CYCLISTS should have a think about what they wear on their next ride. Brighter colours, such as yellow or white, will make them stand out and allow motorists to see them more easily. That’s the word from traffic police who say many cyclists passing their checkpoint at the bottom of Oliver’s Hill near the car park exit on Saturday morning (where there have been many car-versus-cyclist collisions), had not factored in that being easily seen makes them safer. Their tops were a mixture of fluoro yellow, red, blue, white and black, with leggings predominantly black. “Most of the car/cyclist collisions

we attend occur because the driver failed to see the cyclist,” Senior Constable Gregg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said. “Drivers are urged to please have a good look for cyclists before pulling out into intersections or roundabouts etc.”

On the road to nowhere SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol members returning from a fatal collision at Hallam pulled over two Holden commodores racing along Cranbourne Road, Cranbourne, at 139kph in an 80kph zone. Two men, aged 29 and 42, of Cranbourne West, will be summons to appear at court for engaging in a race and exceeding the speed limit. Their cars were impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1005.

Smoke Free Environment Policy We support a smoke free Peninsula. Do you? You’re invited to provide your thoughts on Council’s Smoke Free Environment Policy. Consistent and simple smoke free laws will stop second hand smoke exposure, encourage families to use public land and local food retailers, and greatly reduce the amount of butt litter. This critical initiative stems from Council’s ‘Our Health and Wellbeing Plan’ and ‘Frankston Mornington Peninsula Smoke Free Charter’.

Navy helps with accord MEMBERS of the Mornington Liquor Accord got away from the bright lights of the town’s entertainment precinct to meet at HMAS Cerberus Naval Base, Crib Point, Thursday 29 August. “The idea was to meet in a different environment from the police station so we could create some discussion around the upcoming summer and the management of Main Street,” Mornington police Senior Sergeant Paul Edwards said. The bi-monthly meeting was attended by staff from most licensed premises, 13CABS, Liquorland, BWS, Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation, HMAS Cerberus, Mornington Racing Club’s Steeples, Mornington Peninsula Shire officers and local police. The aim is to produce and maintain harm minimisation strategies in order to reduce alcohol-related incidents within the Mornington

Peninsula entertainment area. “Cerberus Naval Police organised the day to allow members of the accord to gain an appreciation of the base in the interests of community engagement and maintain the close relationship with the Accord members and the military police,” Warrant Officer Darren Lonergan said. Executive officer of HMAS Cerberus Commander Darren Jeffs and deputy base manager Les Mosely welcomed Accord members who were taken on a tour of the base and training facilities, and saw a ship firefighting and damage control demonstration before lunch in the Warrant Officers and Senior Sailors Mess. “The day was a great success and cemented the close cooperation between Cerberus Naval Police and the local community,” Warrant Officer Lonergan said.

Students lead the way in the eyes of OAMs THE 2019 Roy Ward Leadership Prizes for secondary students were presented at the Order of Australia Association, Mornington Peninsula Regional Groups annual luncheon held at the Safety Beach Yacht Club and Community Centre on Friday 23August. The Roy Ward Leadership Prizes have been recognized by secondary schools and students in our region, since its inception in 2000, as prestigious, with the process providing “real life” post-secondary education experiences. Twenty-one secondary schools within the zone were invited to forward submissions. Fifteen nominations were received, and these were evaluated by a selection panel of the Group’s members. Six submissions were short listed to interview to determine the winners. The winner of the 2019 Roy Ward Leadership Prize for a student who has shown exceptional leadership and community service was Alice Bertram from Woodleigh School. Alice is a year 12 student involved in all aspects of school life. Alice is the recipient of Melbourne University Kwong Lee Dow Scholarship and has been awarded the Australian Defence Force Long Tan Leadership and Teamwork Award. Alice is committed to environmental conservation making people aware of the plight of elephant poaching and involvement through the Melbourne Zoo’s eastern bandicoot program and their program “When Balloons Fly Birds Die”.

nificant challenges in their own lives. In 2011 following the onset of headaches that became increasingly more severe, William was diagnosed with brain cancer and was rushed to Monash Children’s Hospital where after a six-hour operation most of the tumour was removed. However in 2017 the tumour regrew and William faced another major operation which thankfully has cleared William of cancer but left him with many residual complications, including multiple hormone deficiency and short-term memory loss. William is a key member of the Frankston High School Student Leadership Council, a volunteer and leader in an Acquired Brain Injury Clinic giving hope and encouragement based on experience especially in memory and speech techniques. In 2014 William attended the Asian Pacific Children’s Convention in Japan and remains involved as part of the selection panel for ongoing attendees. Through his involvement in Tour de Cure and Baileys Day events he has been able to turn a passion into tangible assistance. Although William will have to deal with the residual effects of his treatment for the rest of his life, he gains strength by reminding himself “that you have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life”.

Making a noise over the environment SOUNDS of chanting and drumming coming from Rosebud shopping centre last week were orchestrated by one of the many pro-environment groups making up Extinction Rebellion Victoria. Organiser Kate Wilkins said the local response to the Thursday afternoon disruption was interesting: “We were mostly cheered, congratulated and thanked by onlookers – surprisingly by a lot of the elderly shoppers,” she said. The retailers’ response was mixed: “Woolworths ran us out quick smart, while Aldi was hospitable and quite unconcerned.” Ms Wilkins agreed it “probably seems like there are so many environment stories and so much climate-related news” these days. “This will only increase,” she said. “Extinction Rebellion members find it hard to see how there really can be any more important news than this existential threat of utter environmental degradation and destruction of the ecological systems our very life depends on.” The group acknowledges the dedication of so many people in preserving and protecting the environment. “The problem is, nothing has worked,” Ms Wilkins said. “After many hard years of campaigning, we are in a worse state than ever before and are rapidly taking the world to the brink of a noreturn scenario.” Setting itself on a collision course with mainstream society, Extinction Rebellion says it will use non-violent civil disobedience to get its point across. A Spring Uprising, with traffic disruptions and blockading in the Melbourne CBD from 7 October will no doubt put many commuters offside. “The disruptions will be creative and colourful and absolutely non-violent,” Ms Wilkins said. “We must halt ‘business as usual’ in order to indicate to governments and power elites that we won’t allow this to go on.

“We simply cannot let them destroy the future for generations to come. To allow that would be to fail humanity in the most profound way.” The group wants the federal government to commit to net zero carbon emissions by 2025 – “2050 is way too late”. It wants the decisionmaking process given to citizens’ assemblies that are “not pressured by giant lobbies and this vital issue moved beyond partisan politicking”. Ms Wilkins said: “I’m a grandmother of two

beautiful boys and I’ve come to the point – after crying so many tears – of understanding that the most I can love them is to stand against this criminal robbing of their future security and rights in an environment fit for healthy living. “All the people in this group are united by their passion for this beautiful world and all that lives in it and we will keep working until we achieve our goal of halting this disastrous course we have taken.”

Help shape our water future Join us to share your ideas We’re reviewing the way we manage water to ensure that it best supports our community, the environment, the economy, long term cultural change and climate change resilience. This review will also align us with the newly developed Victorian Integrated Water Management Framework. We’re developing a new Strategy in partnership with the community, bringing together your ideas, from everyday actions to innovation, to shape your water future. Councillors and community will get together for a ‘think tank’ discussion guiding the direction of our new Integrated Water Management Strategy and Action Plan.

Recommendations from this meeting will be considered in council’s subsequent internal workshops. Anyone wanting to make a three minute verbal submission, at the forward planning meeting, needs to RSVP.

Esso update

water@mornpen.vic.gov.au

As a major industrial facility, it is critical that we build and maintain relationships with our local stakeholders. In August, I hosted over 80 people at our annual community stakeholder dinner at Western Port Marina. It was a great opportunity to give locals an insight into our operations and answer any questions. Of particular interest was how Esso is giving employment opportunities via apprenticeships and traineeships. Over our 50-year history, one of our key achievements has been providing employment opportunities either directly with Esso or indirectly via our contractors and suppliers. During August, we also welcomed crew members from Somerville CFA and Hastings CFA to participate in emergency response exercises at the plant. These drills were a valuable opportunity to meet with local CFA volunteers and share our expertise. In September, I had the chance to become the Principal for a Day at Western Port Secondary College. As a business leader, it was inspirational to spend a day at the college to witness the great work Principal Chris Quinn and his team are doing to prepare our future community leaders. At Esso, we are particularly keen to continue to support community programs and mentoring opportunities that encourage young people to reach their full potential and maybe one day pursue a career in the oil and gas industry at Long Island Point. If you would like to find out more about our Long Island Point operations, I can be reached at communityANZ@exxonmobil.com. I encourage you to check out our website, www.exxonmobil.com.au, or follow us on Instagram and Twitter at @exxonmobil_aus.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Motion to limit charge for football match entry defeated Compiled by Cameron McCullough Cr Oates said he noticed in the “Standard” that his action to prevent the Football Association charging 1s instead of 6d and 1d tax to football matches had been resented in some quarters. The Association, without notice, had increased the charge, and quite a lot of people resented their action, and although he had taken steps to have it blocked in the match between Frankston and Somerville, he had not been successful. He considered 6d a sufficient charge, and he moved the Association be informed that the maximum charge allowed would be 6d and 1d tax in forthcoming matches held in the Council’s parks. Cr Mason seconded. Cr Griffeth thought it would have been impossible to give change to the large crowd at the recent match. He considered 1s a reasonable price for semi-finals and finals, particularly as the clubs benefited. The players were not paid, and the association officers did not benefit. Any balance at the end of the season was divided amongst the clubs. He believed two Frankston men forced their way through the gate, refusing to pay. Cr Oates – It was a wonder they did not all do so. Cr Griffeth said it was the intention of the association, if funds permitted, to insure players against accident. Surely this should be encouraged ? Cr Oates – The people who are being penalised are the people who have stood to their clubs all through. Cr Griffeth – The association may

remove their matches to another shire. Cr Oates – That is a threat. Cr Murray thought it inadvisable at this late hour to interfere. He thought the association should have given the public notice before increasing the price. Cr Oates said it would be the people of this shire who were penalized. Balnarring and Dromana were out and Mornington had arranged a match on their own ground for the Saturday next, to keep their people away from Somerville, so the public of Frankston and Hastings Shire would have to pay. Cr Howell considered that the Council should have been approached by the Association before the price was altered. They were dealing with reserves held in trust for the public. Cr Longmuir thought 1s had been charged previously. Cr Oates did not think so. The Council had authority to collect 10 per cent but had never done so. Cr Griffeth said the footballers had done most to improve the Somerville park. Cr Latham thought a shilling a fair charge. Cr Unthank said notice of increase should have been given, but 1s, was a fair charge. President – I think so too. The motion was lost – the voting being equal. For – Crs Oates, Mason, Hoban, Howell, Armstrong and Wells. Against – Crs Turner, Unthank, Longmuir, Latham, Murray and Griffeth. *** OWING to Thursday being Show Day, the “Wattle” club will hold their usual

fortnightly euchre party and dance on Wednesday 24th September. *** THE third term of Mrs Dial’s private school, Frankston, has commenced at St. Paul’s school room and intending pupils should enroll with the principal at once. *** IT is expected by the Water Commission that a supply will be carried through to Flinders naval base within a few weeks. Arrangements have been made to connect the various townships en route, and it will be possible at an early date to link up the system with Frankston. Other townships will receive supplies shortly afterwards. *** APPLICATIONS for Peace Loan Bonds will be received up to September 23rd. The interest 5 per cent is payable half yearly in June and December, and is not liable to State Income Tax. Attached to each bond are coupons for the interest – one for each half year – and as those become due they can be cashed free of charge at any Bank or Money Order Post Office. *** ANOTHER Early Train Proposal – Many members of the Commercial Travellers’ Association, of Victoria are interesting themselves in trying to secure a Monday Morning Train from Frankston to connect with all early morning country trains. It is presumed that if this train is secured quite a number of commercial men will reside permanently in Frankston. ***

A GRAND cornucopia will be held in the Frankston State School and grounds on Friday, 10th October. The proceeds are to be devoted to the purchase of a piano for the school. During the years of war the children devoted their energies to raising funds for patriotic causes, and as this is their first effort for their school the committee expect to score a big success. *** THE “Frankston Cup” – (Racing men are advised to keep cool this is not a racing trophy.) In connection with the boxing tournament in Melbourne for returned soldiers arranged by the State Commandant, Brigadier General Brand, and organised by Major Conder, we notice that Mr J. B. Jolly of Frankston has donated a silver cup for competition to be known as the Frankston cup. *** THE Frankston Mechanics’ Institute is at present undergoing repairs and a general spring clean up. The painting work is being carried out by Mr Bert Stephens, who appears to be handling his task in a very workmanlike way. It is to be hoped that the Committee will bear in mind that the building with a new coat on does not give more room inside and that the public are anxiously awaiting the long promised enlargement of the ball. *** LAST week the Prince of Wales Hotel, Frankston, was purchased by Mr A. McKinnon of Melbourne, from Mr J. Sheridan of Frankston. The price paid is said to have been a substantial one, and consistent with the upward tendency of property values

now existing in this district. The new owner contemplates substantial improvements to the present commodious building, including the erection of a balcony and extensive accommodation for motorists. The present lessee is Mrs H. Garrood and her lease does not expire till about the middle of next year. *** MR D. H. Allen during a recent tour of the Peninsula proved a keen and critical observer. His impressions formed regarding our fruit growing areas were highly favorable, and coming from such a practical source his views carry more than ordinary weight. Mr Allen, who is the travelling representative of Mitchell and Co. Pty. Ltd., the well known manufacturers of farming and orcharding implements, has had 23 years experience as an orchardist and at present owns “Yaroba” orchard, Croydon, but he admits that he wants to see nothing better than the orchards of Somerville and surrounding districts. It is the intention of Mr Allen’s firm to arrange exhibitions in the various centres featuring their orchard plows, spring tooth barrows and other implements. Mr H. Gomm of Somerville has been appointed the local representative for the Peninsula, and Mr R. E. Peebles, is the firms sub agent for Frankston. When the date for holding the exhibition has been arranged ample notice will be given so that all interested may have an opportunity of attending. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 20 September 1919

Tigers take out the top prize DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn DROMANA have made history by winning the MPNFL Division One and Division Two premierships in consecutive years. The Tigers travelled to Frankston Park on Sunday to take on powerhouse club Sorrento in a much anticipated Grand Final showdown. Dromana came into the clash looking to go back to back after their second division triumph last year, and

Western Port News

Sorrento were looking for retribution after falling just short in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big dance. Both sides had to battle through tough conditions throughout the afternoon. Dromana came out narrow leaders after a tense first quarter, and took a one point lead into the second term. The game opened up a little more after a low scoring opening quarter, as both sides added three goals each to their tally before half time. At the main break Dromana still held onto

18 September 2019

their one point lead. The third quarter is often dubbed the premiership quarter, and Dromana were determined to make the most of it. A three goals to zero third term put the Tigers in the box seat. They went into the last quarter with a 15 point lead over Sorrento. Dromana could only add one more goal to their tally before the final siren, but they had done enough to get the win. It was a tense and hard fought battle, but Dromana managed to overcome the Sharks to claim the

win 6.9 (45) to 8.4 (52). Scenes of jubilation followed as the Tigers celebrated back to back premiership wins, this time over a rival team. Will Guerts was one of Dromanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best, while three goals from Ben Holmes also helped them get the win. Sam Fowler scored two goals and was also impressive. On a tough day for Sorrento, Chad Harris was their best. In the Division One reserves, Mt Eliza claimed another Grand Final

win. The Redlegs took on Frankston YCW on Sunday, and started on the right foot with a four goals to zero first term. The Redlegs looked good from the outset, and eventually claimed the premiership with a 10.7 (67) to 6.5 (41) win. The victory secured the Redlegs their sixth consecutive reserves premiership. Frankston YCW fared better in the under-19s Grand Final, securing an 8.5 (53) to 6.7 (43) win.

Super Southern in Grand Final SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SOUTHERN United’s remarkable youngsters stunned odds-on favourite and league champion South Melbourne at Lakeside Stadium on Saturday to claim a place in this weekend’s under-16 NPLW Grand Final. Southern finished the league season 27 points behind South Melbourne who had a superior goal difference of 57. But this Southern group has been one of the NPLW’s success stories having won the title and the Grand Final in 2017 at under-13 level and doubling up on championship success last year but losing 2-1 to Calder United in the under-14 showpiece event. On Saturday South Melbourne went ahead in the 55th minute when Georgia Kandilas was left free at the back post and headed home. But the lead only lasted two minutes. Southern captain Sage Kirby had her shirt pulled inside the area and leading scorer Rhys McKenna converted from the spot. The deadlock couldn’t be broken at the end of normal time and 10 minutes each way of extra time so penalties decided the winner of this cut-throat semi-final. And Southern gave a flawless display converting four times through McKenna, Olivia Cullen, Indy Scarr and Taylah Hennekam while Southern keeper Alex Jones saved twice to send the local side into this weekend’s Grand Final against Bulleen. Southern has an ace up its sleeve in head coach and former Matilda Deb Nichols who along with current under-14s coach Emma Bracken has nurtured these talented young players and helped them develop into one of Victoria’s best underage sides. An emotional Nicholls addressed her squad after the game: “Today is a day you will never forget. You will replay this day when you, in the future, are standing in my shoes in front of a team of young chargers. “This is why I have stayed in this game for 43 years, for days like today. “This game can break your heart but can also take you to the most wonderful places. “It’s been one hell of a week for this club but you just took it to another level. “So proud. Looking forward to an-

other Grand Final. We fear no one.” Things are just as exciting off the field and Southern made a raft of coaching announcements last week with Olivia Groves, Bracken, Nichols and Liam Drury all being re-appointed to their roles with the under-12s, under-14s, under-16s and reserves squads respectively. The club also announced that Melissa Maizels had been retained as senior player-coach and that Southern and Casey council have struck an agreement that will see the club based at the elite soccer facility at Casey Fields. It was the final step in Southern cutting itself free from a sometimes fraught relationship with Frankston council and many at the club are delighted at the switch of allegiances. In NPL2 news Jamie Skelly has been retained as Scott Miller’s assistant at Langwarrin. The former Casey Comets and Peninsula Strikers head coach was at the centre of a strong rumour circulating last week linking him with another local club but quickly dismissed any suggestion of a move. “I’ll be at Langy again next season and I’m really looking forward to it,” Skelly said. “My first choice always was to stay here.” Langy legend Gus Macleod was last week named as the club’s new head of coaching for its community junior teams.

Mark Cassar is Langy’s new NPL technical director replacing the highly successful Stephen Fisher who was tipped to be joining Frankston Pines but Bentleigh Greens and Doveton have been in touch and are keen to have him involved. Doug Hodgson has left Langwarrin and the club has advertised its NPL under-16 and under-18 coaching positions. In State 1 news Mornington has confirmed a number of appointments recently with Adam Jamieson re-appointed as senior coach along with assistant Nathan Peel. Craig Davidson is technical director of Mornington’s NPL juniors, Adam Austin is head of coaching for community junior teams and Andrew Martin is head of coaching for the women’s program. In State 5 news Somerville Eagles’ finals campaign ended last weekend when it went down 2-1 to Waverley Wanderers at Comets Stadium. Waverley left winger Panagiotis Tsoupeis was the most influential player on the pitch and he gave Somerville right back Callum Richardson a torrid time throughout. The most colourful person off the pitch was Waverley assistant coach Gabby Vlahos who insisted on reminding referee George Iliopoulos that there was a reason he was refereeing at State 5 level. The fact that Waverley was a State 5 team and Vlahos was a State

5 assistant appeared to be of little concern and an agitated Vlahos followed Iliopoulos to the referees’ room at half-time arguing over a decision taken in the first half. At one stage after the interval Iliopoulos stopped play to insist on a child leaving the Waverley technical area and was given an explanation that there was no-one to look after the youngster. This theatrical parry and thrust came to an abrupt end during the second stanza when Iliopoulos could take no more and he sent off Vlahos forcing him to leave the arena and become one of the 64 spectators on the other side of the fence. Meanwhile there was a match going on. In the 49th minute Somerville lined up to defend a Tsoupeis corner without anyone on the near post. That forced Somerville keeper Francis Beck into diving down low and late and failing to stop the ball slipping under his grasp and into goal for the opener. In the 62nd minute Somerville player-coach Dave Greening neatly turned inside an opponent on the right and broke forward then crossed to the far post where strike partner Mark Pagliarulo’s first-time sidefoot volley made it 1-1. But Tsoupeis wasn’t done with yet. In the 72nd minute he looked set to curl in a free-kick instead squaring the ball to former Skye striker Nick

Theodore and his drive from outside the area rocketed into the far corner giving Beck no chance. Somerville pushed central midfielder Daniel Hodge forward late in the contest but the damage had been done. Meanwhile Aspendale Stingrays and Rosebud signed off on the 2019 State 5 season with a remarkable 12goal catch-up contest at Kingston Heath Soccer Complex last Wednesday night. What was a whirlwind start for the Stingrays turned into an arm wrestle in which they eventually prevailed 8-4. Aspendale led through 16-year-old Nathan Barnett whose pace worried Rosebud early and the teenager scored the first two goals inside four minutes. When Kieran Hughes made it 3-0 in the 25th minute a comfortable night seemed assured. Right on half-time the first of a Cory Osorio double made it 3-1. An eight-goal second half centred on a quickfire hat-trick from substitute Anthony Segavac whose goal blitz was achieved in just nine minutes ending any hopes the visitors had of completing a comeback. It was an excellent season finale for the Stingrays who boast the youngest side in the competition. The game also marked the 250th appearance for the club of Aspendale’s Noah Berends who is just 18 years old. Aspendale’s best were Hughes, Peter Dimopoulos and Kenan Nuhanovic.

The Mornington Pirates under 12 team started the year with high expectations after losing the grand final the previous year. The goal from day one was to go one better and take out the 2019 under 12 grand final in the Dandenong Baseball Association. The year started with some new recruits and a hard preseason on the training track. Some of the training even got a little unorthodox with the coach, an Australian Army soldier running some mental toughness bootcamps for the kids. It was a great way to build some confidence in the kids while teaching them how the Army’s core values, courage, initiative, respect and teamwork transferred into a baseball game and life. With the home and away season finished and the finals about to begin our littlest Pirates were undefeated and on top of the ladder. We went straight to work on our finals campaign putting in some extra training and team bonding sessions. These young kids were dedicated to working hard at training chasing the ultimate goal of a grand final victory and achieving the perfect season, not losing a single game. The entire team, coaching staff and parent group did an amazing job getting prepared for the big day, we had a great family culture. The grand final was upon us and we were up against some great competition in Frankston Baseball Club. It was a dominant performance by the young pirates who were on top of the game from start to finish, not putting a single foot wrong throughout the game. Every single one of the kids played their part and contributed to teams success. In the end the Pirates ran out grand final champions with a 12 v 3 victory. If winning the grand final wasn’t enough these little superstars were able to achieve greatness and something rarely done

Perfect Pirates: Front row: Cliff Neilson, Kingston Ormonde, Bella Bodey, Jack Garbett-Davidson, Jake Bertucci. Middle Row: Jax Clarke, Charlie Waugh, Sam Walsh, Ned Johnson, Josh Woods. Back Row: Steve Bertucci (coach), Nick Bertucci (assistant coach), Damien Bodey, Glen Bodey (assistant coach)

in sport “the perfect season” this will be a career highlight for these kids and something they will remember forever. The grand final was the end of an era for coach Steve Bertucci, long time junior baseball coach, as it would be his last game coaching, and the kids definitely didn’t let him down. I was so proud of all the kids this year, they worked so hard to achieve the perfect season and they deserve to be the

2019 champions, a career highlight for me also. It was an especially emotional season for me, coaching my youngest son, our star pitcher and my eldest son as my assistant coach, a real family affair. It was a fitting fairy tale ending. Anyone interested in playing baseball at Mornington please visit the website for further details www.morningtonbaseballclub.com.au

Edwards’ first Stakes success HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou BALNARRING-based trainer Kerry Edwards landed her first Stakes race with stable star, Rox The Castle, at Flemington on Saturday 14 September. Despite drawing an outside barrier, the former New Zealand galloper was too tough in the Listed $140,000 The Sofitel (1400m) stakes after sitting outside the lead and holding on for a narrow victory. The gutsy win topped off a Mornington-trained trifecta with the Rachel Frost-trained Travimyfriend finishing half-of-a-length away in second and the Grahame Begg-trained Romancer finishing a further length behind in third. Trainer Kerry Edwards was understandably ecstatic following the gallant victory. “He is unbelievable,” she said postrace. “That was seriously tough what he did then. Craig (Williams) sat on him as long as he could, it was a little bit close at the end, but he just digs in so deep. I’m so proud of him.” With three horses in work and one being broken in, the part-time trainer has placed the lightly raced Rox The Castle perfectly to bring his record to seven wins and two placings from 12 starts. Also mixing her small training business with work as a gardener, Edwards says having a horse like Rox The Cas-

tle makes it even more enjoyable. “I’m just a small stable and I do it all myself so I really can’t handle anymore than four in work at one time so it’s a little bit of a juggling act, but I have the passion for the horses and getting a horse like him is absolutely outstanding,” she said. Champion jockey, Craig Williams, was aboard the four-year-old son of Castledale in his Stakes victory and believes he’ll be a great competitor for more races in the Spring. “There’s no doubt that he’s a Spring class horse but it’ll be interesting to see which way Kerry goes with him,” he said. “They’ve just managed him so well for a lightly raced horse.” Edwards will follow her usual planning strategy and make decisions on where to head next with her star gelding in the coming days once she has an understanding on how he has come through his win. Rox The Castle has now taken his prizemoney past the $250,000 mark.
