Artist’s playful posters for a clean bay Mermaid in the dunes: Josie Jones at Rye with her poster promoting next month’s foreshore walk at Hastings to raise money for the Dolphin Research Institute.

Picture: Yanni

STANDING in the sand dunes at Rye, Josie Jones is pleased to note the absence of rubbish.

She is there to promote a community walk at Hastings to raise money and awareness of the Dolphin Research Institute, for which she has designed and added a poster to her “I’m really a mermaid” series.

No stranger to the foreshore at Rye, Ms Jones has for the past 12 years walked its length and breadth collecting rubbish either dropped by careless beachgoers or dropped in the bay.

A graphic designer, Ms Jones estimates she’s collected four tonnes of rubbish in a personal campaign that’s been recognised with a KVB Tidy Towns: Dame Phyllis Frost Award for “her outstanding commitment to her work in sustainability”.

A regular speaker at schools and community groups, she is a keen diver and likes to mention the “full stable of seahorses” under Rye pier.

The presence of the seahorse colony exemplifies the need for a clean bay.

“The end result of dropping rubbish on land ends in the sea,” Ms Jones says. “I’m passionate about people coming together and working together.”

Part of her vision is to help the Dolphin Research Centre, something she can achieve by producing a series of posters with her graphic art skills.

She has also become something of a statistician, counting and weighing rubbish to convince people of the growing waste problem. Over two months she collected 5879 cigarette butts. “I take a psychological approach. I don’t take no for an answer and I love seeing people succeed.

“I come up with solutions and I’m persistent.”

Ms Jones says she has gained the support of a supermarket in collecting rubbish left lying in its car park and is now trying to convince Mornington Peninsula Shire that installing and regularly emptying a recycling bin is a lot cheaper than burying rubbish at the tip.

Ferry plan gets down to business Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE lengthy process of formulating a business case for a car ferry from Stony Point to Cowes, Phillip Island goes a step forward next month with a series of public and industry meetings.

On Friday 6 October industry representatives and members of the public can attend “information gathering” meetings at Crib Point.

Compilation of the business case for the ferry service is being co-ordinated

by Brisbane-based consultants Earthcheck, described as being an international tourism advisory group.

The state government has given $200,000 to help Mornington Peninsula and Bass Coast shires “understand and define the community, environmental and economic contribution and impacts of a car ferry between Cowes and Stony Point, including a passenger

only service to French Island”.

A joint news release from the two shires - which have each put in $25,000 – says “the impacts and opportunities of expanding the current passenger ferry to a car ferry service will be identified as part of the business case to be prepared for the Victorian government”.

“The Victorian government, in partnership with Bass Coast and Mornington Peninsula Shire Councils, has

appointed a team of transport and business case development professionals to work through the process with our communities and stakeholders to understand the feasibility and impact of this project, and the opportunities it could create,” Bass Coast mayor, Cr Pamela Rothfield said The peninsula’s mayor, Cr Bev Colomb said the ferry plan – a “wonderful initiative” – conformed to the shire’s 2016-2019 economic development

As previously reported in The News (“Business case bid for ferry” 2/5/17) an economic study produced six years ago put the overall cost of the project at $47 million and predicted it would lead to greater employment on Phillip Island and the peninsula during and after construction of two new ferry terminals.

Master class: Laraine Day looks on as Portuguese bonsai expert Rui Fereiera makes adjustments to her 15-year-old mungo pine.

Bonsai master leaves his mark Story and photos: Barry Irving

MORNINGTON Peninsula Bonsai Society members gained insights into their hobby from Portuguese bonsai master Rui Fereiera last week.

During the afternoon eight members worked on their own trees under Mr Fereiera’s instruction. Then, in the evening, they watched on as he conducted a full demonstration on a tree provided by a member.

Members gained new knowledge as they watched the master work on the trees which will grow into spectacular bonsai.

The society has been operating 40 years, first in Tootgarook and now at Moorooduc hall.

Assistance and friendship is given by the more experienced members, particularly to those just starting out on their bonsai journey.

It meets 7.30pm, every third Wednesday, at the hall, corner Bentons and Derril roads, Moorooduc. Demonstrators often come from other parts of Victoria, interstate or overseas. Extra workshops are held regularly on Saturdays during the year.

The club’s activities include a display the annual show at Easter at Balcombe Grammar, which members consider equal to the best anywhere in Victoria.

Sports centres go private Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FIVE Mornington Peninsula Shire-owned sports and leisure centres will be managed from 29 October by a private company that man-ages more than 120 other centres across Australia.

Belgravia Leisure will manage and operate the Pelican Park Recreation Centre in Hastings, Mornington’s Civic Reserve Recreation Centre, the Somerville Health & Fitness Studio, Crib Point Pool and Western Port Gymnastics at the Hastings Hub. Ratepayers will pay $5,720,290 to Belgravia Leisure over five years in management fees.

The Bayswater-based leisure centre and golf course management company will also run All Access outreach programs for older adults in Mornington, Rosebud, Hastings, Somers, Blairgowrie and Somerville.

The shire announced the “partnership” with Belgravia Leisure last Thursday (14 September) and said all council staff at the five centres will be offered employment by the private company “with recognition of prior service and maintenance of existing terms and conditions of employment”.

The deal to have Belgravia Leisure manage the centres was hailed as “a win-win-win” by the mayor Cr Bev Colomb.

“This is a win-win-win: a win for cost-effective service delivery on behalf of our community, a win for members and user groups and a win for staff,” Cr Colomb said in a statement.

“Council will retain ownership and maintenance of the buildings and remains committed to ensuring sport, leisure and recreation services are available to our community.

The mayor said it will be “business as

usual” at the sports and lei-sure centres after Belgravia Leisure takes over.

Council CEO Carl Cowie said the shire has signed a five-year management deal with Belgravia Leisure.

There is a “first extension option at council’s discretion” after two years and a second extension option after year four of the fiveyear arrangement.

Mr Cowie said Belgravia Leisure can change the centres’ operating hours after the first 12 months of the five-year deal.

Existing staff will receive existing pay and conditions but this may change for future employees.

“New team members would be employed

by Belgravia Leisure on their terms and conditions,” Mr Cowie told The News.

Belgravia Leisure CEO Nick Cox said the company will host break-fasts and information sessions for leisure centre group members and will work with staff during the transition period.

“Belgravia Leisure is very excited to be partnering with Mornington Peninsula Shire and we look forward to working with the local team in expanding upon the current programs and services,” Mr Cox said in a statement.

“We will work with existing members, user groups and community organisations to plan and deliver a range of new and exciting aquatic and fitness programs. In particular, our focus will be on increasing access for people of all ages and abilities.

“Belgravia Leisure will maintain existing memberships and bookings, with no changes to current programs, services or operational hours. We are confident that through additional programming significant benefits will flow through to the community.”

Belgravia Leisure was founded in 1990 by current chairman Geoff Lord, a former

NEW!

president of Hawthorn Football Club and Melbourne Victory, and employs more than 4500 people across leisure centres managed in partnership with state governments and councils.

In May this year The News revealed Peninsula Leisure Pty Ltd, a Frankston Council owned company, and Belgravia Leisure had spoken to the shire about managing peninsula sports and leisure centres.

Frankston councillors subsequently voted to restrict Peninsula Leisure’s operations to the two Frankston swimming centres amid concerns about “financial risks” to Frankston ratepayers through “empire building”.

The door was left open for Peninsula Leisure to present a business plan to operate other sports centres within the Frankston municipality.

Peninsula Leisure operates the Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC) in Frankston and the Pines Forest Aquatic Centre in Frankston North.

A 7-2 majority of shire councillors voted to award a five-year contract to Belgravia Leisure at this month’s council meeting on Tuesday 12 September.

The decision was discussed in private after the public council meeting for commercialin-confidence reasons.

Crs Colomb, Rosie Clark, Bryan Payne, Hugh Fraser, Frank Martin, Simon Brooks and Antonella Celi voted in favour of the awarding of the contract.

Crs Kate Roper and David Gill voted against the deal.

The only sports centre to remain under council management after October will be the Somerville Recreation & Community Centre.

The stadium that houses basketball courts was severely fire damaged and closed to the public in May 2016.

Consultation disappoints CERBERUS ward councillor Kate Roper says she believes Crib Point residents were not fully consulted about the possibility of the Mornington Peninsula Shire-owned outdoor pool being handed over to a commercial operator, Belgravia Leisure.

Cr Roper said she understood the process to outsource sports centres to a commercial operator had been “going on for over a year” before her election as a councillor at council elections in October last year.

She said she could not speak to locals to ask for feedback about the plan due to “confidentiality clauses” while a tender was being discussed.

“I was really disappointed because I don’t think the community of Crib Point have had a lot of input,” Cr Roper said.

“Because they did the community consultation in winter when the pool was closed I don’t think many of the users got to have too much of a say.”

The councillor said the Crib Point Pool is part of “a community gathering place” situated near the Crib Point Football Netball Club.

“I represent the community and we want transparency.

“It’s a done deal now. While the savings on paper sound good, let’s see what happens.”

MPs say ‘yes’ to marriage equality

Ferry business Continued from Page 1 A pre-feasibility study by consulting engineers Arup in 2003 was followed in 2008 by Bays and Maritime Initiative – Stony Point to Cowes Vehicle Ferry, by Maunsell Australia.

In the July 2010 economic impact assessment commissioned by Bass Coast Essential Economics estimated the ferry service would carry 109,500 cars (323,000 passengers) in its first year increasing to 127,750 cars (375,000 passengers) in a decade.

The Essential Economics report was based on a 50-car ferry running from Stony Point and Cowes every two hours between 8am and 5pm.

The cost of building a new pier and infrastructure at Stony Point is put at $21m and $25.8m at Cowes. Both piers would be alongside the existing piers.

The Essential Economics 2010 study said 285 effective full time jobs would be created during the construction phase of the terminals at Stony Point and Cowes which “will ensure continual low unemployment rates in Bass Coast and Mornington Peninsula, noting that both shires have relatively high proportions of resident workers occupied in constructionrelated activities”.

Once built, the ferries would require 14 full time staff and create 27 “indirect” full time jobs. An additional 98 jobs would be created in the wider tourism industry. The increased number of visitors to the peninsula and Phillip Island will see $14m injected into the local economies in the first year growing to $16.3m by the tenth year.

The Friday 6 October information gathering meetings will be held at Crib Point Community Hall, starting with the industry meeting 9.30am-11am; the community meeting 11.30am-1pm; followed by dropin sessions 4pm-7pm.

Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au POLITICIANS who may ultimately vote in Canberra to decide if same-sex marriage is legalised in Australia have declared their intentions in the marriage equality survey mailed out to Australian voters.

Local federal Liberal MPs Chris Crewther (Dunkley), Greg Hunt (Flinders) and Labor’s Mark Dreyfus (Isaacs) have advised they will personally vote “yes” in response to the question “Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?” mailed out to all Australians listed on the electoral roll last week.

There are however different views on voting in line with the postal survey outcome in their respective electorates.

Mr Crewther said he will vote for same-sex marriage to be legalised in the survey but will “support the majority will of the Australian people as determined by the postal survey” if federal MPs subsequently formally vote to change the law in parliament.

“In the postal survey itself, I will be voting ‘yes’ because, while I have my own views on marriage within Christianity, I support the separation of church and State, along with strong protections for freedom of speech and religion,” Mr Crewther said.

“The State should not impose religion or religious views and practices, nor restrict religion or religious views and practices, as stated in Australia’s Constitution.”

The Dunkley MP said he would push for any subsequent legislation after a

Greg Hunt

Mark Dreyfus

‘yes’ vote in the postal survey “to provide strong protections for freedom of speech and religion, which are absolutely crucial in a liberal democracy”.

A spokeswoman for Mr Hunt said the Flinders MP and federal Health Minister will vote ‘yes’ in the survey and would also vote ‘yes’ in any free vote in parliament.

“The Minister strongly endorses the rights of all Australians to have a say and has supported this all along,” Mr Hunt’s spokeswoman Samantha Robin said. “The Minister has always stated that he will vote ‘yes’ in a free vote in the parliament and he has also said on many occasions that he will be voting ‘yes’ in the plebiscite. He was elected on this basis and will stand by this position.”

Results of the non-compulsory survey run by the Australian Bureau of Statistics will be announced on 15 November and will be broken down along electorate and state boundary lines.

Federal MPs — both those for and against same-sex marriage being legalised in Australia — are under no obligation to heed the result of the survey in their electorate.

“If the majority of people in Dunkley differ from the national vote in being majority ‘no’, then I obviously would have a decision to make,” Mr Crewther said. “As the survey is intended to give a vote according to the majority of all Australians, I think the most fair way to vote in that situation would be to vote ‘yes’.”

Federal Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus said he will vote ‘yes’ for marriage equality, both in the postal survey and in parliament, no matter the outcome of the survey vote in his electorate although he is “very confident” the ‘yes’ vote will win in Isaacs.

“Labor didn’t want this $122 million postal survey. We wanted marriage equality to become law through a free vote in Parliament, but internal and ongoing divisions within the

Chris Crewther

Liberal Party made this postal survey happen,” Mr Dreyfus said.

“I will be voting yes for marriage equality. There is a lot of talk from the ‘no’ campaign about how marriage equality will infringe on freedom of speech and freedom of religion. It’s simply untrue. Marriage equality will mean that couples of the same gender are allowed to be legally married in Australia. Nothing more, nothing less.”

“Marriage rights are human rights and I will be voting to support marriage equality when this next comes to parliament.

“As a voluntary, postal vote that is most likely to disenfranchise younger people, this survey is rigged against the yes vote.”

People should post back completed surveys in free post-pay envelopes sent out by the ABS before 27 October to meet a 7 November deadline for the collection of votes ahead of the survey result on 15 November.

Industry salute: Builder Craig McPhan is proud of his team’s award-winning work. Picture: Gary Sissons

Two awards for townhouse A MT MARTHA-based builder has won two Housing Industry Association awards for Best Townhouse/Villa Development and Townhouse of the Year.

The awards were for two adjoining townhouses on the Esplanade, Mornington, opposite Mills Beach.

The 2017 HIA Eastern Victorian Awards were presented at the RACV Resort, Inverloch, Friday 8 September.

Builder Craig McPhan did his apprenticeship with a Dromana builder 36 years ago and worked for various builders on the Mornington Peninsula before starting Individual Builders about 20 years ago. The company has previously

won five HIA awards.

“We are local builders based in Mt Martha and have been building on the peninsula since 1985,” Mr McPhan said.

“Most of our work has been in the Portsea and Sorrento areas with quite a few homes between Mornington and there.”

Mr McPhan said the awards were a “joint effort”.

“Our site foreman Michael Brady ran the project and did a fantastic job,” he said.

“The team works well and that is the reason we get so much repeat work. We establish relationships with our clients and they stay with us.”

Isolation a problem at parks, villages A SURVEY aimed at gaining a greater understanding of the caravan park and residential villages’ population on the Mornington Peninsula found that 63 per cent are aged over 70, most are single women, and nearly 90 per cent rely on the age pension as their main source of income.

The survey was compiled by the Peninsula Residential Parks and Villages Group and focus groups convened in April and August. Responses were received by 164 of the 600 residents at four core parks: Peninsula Parklands, Hastings, which has 220 permanent residents; Mornington Gardens, Mornington, (also 220); Dromana Holiday Village (80); and Peninsula Holiday Park, Dromana (40).

The survey found that social isolation was an issue and that the “perceived responsibilities of management to residents was minimal at best”.

The organisers admit that the outcomes of the survey are “somewhat limited” as they were unable to engage with residents at all of the shire’s 42 diverse parks and villages.

The aim of the survey was to improve the standards and quality of living in residential parks and villages by speaking with residents, identifying primary areas of concern and developing strategies for advocacy and action around those issues identified.

The outcomes will help guide the shire’s strategic planning and goal setting for permanent residents living in parks and villages.

About 40 per cent of residents were deemed “not fully aware of their legislative rights and responsibilities” and that there was confusion over the nature and length of leases. Access to public transport was found to be a “critical issue for an ageing community”.

Two thirds said they had “no access” to public transport, which presents difficulties, especially for the elderly when shopping or attending medical appointments – and more expensive if they have to order taxis.

Support for the survey came from Mornington Peninsula Shire and the Housing and Aged Action Group, who acknowledge that caravan parks and residential villages have become a “significant form of housing on the peninsula for an estimated 1000 residents”.

The parks provide increasingly important security of tenure for older people in an “era of decreasing housing affordability”.

Some cater solely for holiday-makers and not permanent residents, while others cater to “annuals” who own or rent a cabin and can stay in it for a specified number of days each year.

The “most recent” trend is towards the purpose-built residential village for

permanent residents aged over 55.

Mixed-use parks housing permanent residents and holiday-makers are said to be the norm on the peninsula, with 98 per cent of respondents identifying as owners or renters.

The survey found almost half of residents (48 per cent) are aged 70-80 years with another 15 per cent aged 80 and over. Singles comprise 58 per cent of residents of which two-thirds are women; couples make up 38 per cent and 2.5 per cent are living with children.

Most park residents stay an average seven years although eight had lived in their park for more than 20 years and one for 31 years. Most relinquish their lease when they die, making the plausibility of a 99-year lease debatable.

About 75 per cent of units are two-bedroom and six per cent three bedroom.

The survey described the number of residents who are unsure about the length of their leases as a “matter of concern”, with many residents unable to put down a term.

The survey concluded that the range of fees paid within some of the parks “requires further investigation” Stephen Taylor

An OK day for a sizzle THE long anticipated day to install artwork to brighten up the outside of Rye Community House coincided last week with R U OK?.

“We felt that a sausage sizzle was a great way to get people together, enjoy the art and have a chat with each other,” community house manager Kerryn Ladell said.

“It is our role as a community house

to be inclusive, fun, offer friendship and support in any way people need it.

Our activities bring people together.

“We have a lot of talent here.”

Safety concerns end road chases POLICE pursuits in Mornington and Mt Eliza last week were aborted over concerns for public safety. In one instance, police chased an unidentified car with stolen number plates driving west along Nepean Highway near Wilsons Rd, 6.25pm, Thursday 14 September.

Acting Sergeant Daniel Patten, of

Mornington police, said police tried to pull the car over but it sped away and they called off the pursuit after less than a minute. The driver managed to elude police.

In Mt Eliza at 4.55pm the same day, a twin cab ute was recorded at 108kph in an 80kph zone on Nepean Highway. The black Mazda was chased onto Old Mornington Rd where it reached speeds of 125kph before escaping.

Somerville Highway Patrol members believe they have identified the owner.

Suicide rising for older men

Site for transport PENINSULA Transport Assist looks set to receive a long-term lease for larger premises in Baxter to cope with growing demand.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council voted last week to advertise its intention to offer a 10-year lease to the volunteer organisation for a new home in Railway Rd. The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the PTA, currently based in Mt Eliza, “provides a valuable service in combating transport disadvantage” throughout the peninsula and Frankston.

About 50 volunteer drivers, using their own cars, drive up to 200 clients a month to medical appointments, hospitals, shops, aged and disability services and airports. Four buses, two provided by the shire, take more than 50 bookings each month.

Cr Colomb said: “PTA offers many benefits to the community by increasing active ageing through volunteering, improving older people’s ability to move around their neighbourhood, and increases social and civic participation.

“They also improve mature-age people’s access to community and health services, which is essential to wellbeing and independent living.”

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au WHILE men aged over 85 have one of the highest suicide rates in Australia they are often overlooked in the fight against suicide.

This lack of attention and help is due to “ageism” and a lack of community support, according to Mornington-based Mentis Assist.

The organisation which provides opportunities for people living with mental illness based its conclusion on the results of a 2014 statistics study.

“Life events commonly associated with elderly suicide include the death of a loved one, physical and mental illness, cognitive impairment, unmanageable pain, fear of dying, loneliness and major changes in roles, such as retirement,” Mentis Assist CEO Terry Palioportas said last week, which included Suicide Prevention Day and R U Okay? Day. “Social isolation or a lack of social supports has been found to be a contributing factor in the lives of some elderly men, leading to a decline in life skills, poor eating habits and even substance abuse,” Mr Palioportas said.

“After retirement, a significant number of men feel a sense of worthlessness or hopelessness leading to feelings of depression or overwhelming anxiety.

“Historically, older men have often been conditioned not to acknowledge their feelings from as far back as their childhood and, therefore, see no way of expressing their fears. They

are often afraid of being a burden to others.”

Mr Palioportas said social groups were a “great way to remain socially active and can help to encourage older men to get together with others with similar interests”.

“Groups provide an opportunity to participate in age-related programs, including health and physical activ-

ity, cognitive stimulation, emotional wellbeing and a wide variety of social inclusion programs, as well as getting together for meals,” he said.

Mentis Assist provides access and support workers who can assist with accessing local services in the area, including specialised planned activity groups.

Seawall work to start

JOY Coleman passed away on 21 August aged 87. She had been a member of the HastingsWestern Port Historical Society for 44 years, having attended the inaugural meeting at the offices of the Shire of Hastings on 22 June, 1973 which led to the formation of the then Shire of Hastings Historical Society.

Long-time member Shirley Davies has commented, “Joy was vibrant, resourceful, talented, confident, capable, helpful, kind and artistic – a real joy to work with. She was one of the guest speakers at our 25th and 30th anniversary

lunches, a contributor to the newsletter, and was happy to speak at meetings.”

“She gave a talk about her ‘Kitchen Memories’ which resonated with those in the audience.

Joy donated items to the Society as well as one of her paintings as a raffle prize.”

The process to award Joy an honorary Life Membership at the Annual General Meeting on 10 September was in train prior to her death.

The Society has determined that her contribution should still be recognized.

WORKS to protect the ageing seawall at Mt Martha’s Craigie beach will begin this month.

The 240-metre rock revetment will be built by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), in partnership with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

The department said the rock revetment would ensure the whole of the seawall was protected against future storm events.

“Last year a 97-metre rock revetment was constructed and this 240-metre section completes the protection works,” Eastern Region MP Daniel Mulino said.

“The stone seawall is thought to be at least 50 years old and is nearing the end of its life. It was designed to protect the cliff faces from large,

powerful waves which, over time, can erode the cliffs and compromise the road, walking trails, and assets above.”

Over the past decade sections of rock were placed in front of the seawall to absorb wave energy. The department said this had been effective. The new works will extend the rock revetment to absorb wave energy and reduce the impact on the seawall.

The works will take about six weeks, depending on weather and tides.

The area behind the seawall and sections of the walking paths in the area will be closed during working hours, 7am-5pm, Monday to Friday.

Visitors have been asked to observe safety signs and directions.

Anglers resist shire’s line on foreshore SUPPOSED “contradictions” in the Hastings Foreshore Precinct Plan were highlighted in the Tuesday 12 September Talking Fishing show on Channel 31.

Much of the show was dedicated to discussing concerns about the scope and depth of the plan, such as the lack of community input into the month-long public survey which attracted only 27 respondents willing to discuss their likes and dislikes about the foreshore, what they did there, pressing issues, conflicts between users and possible improvements.

The show, hosted by Future Fish Foundation director David Kramer, also criticised the design of the proposed boat ramp parking area, saying it will encourage pedestrians to cross near the boat ramp area. The program also pointed out that the overflow parking area would be smaller.

A letter featuring on the Talking Fishing Facebook page refers to a 1991 letter from the shire to the commodore of the Hastings Yacht Club during an earlier incarnation of the Hastings Foreshore Precinct Plan. The letter shows his concerns about moving the path across the front of the yacht club – as is proposed now – and agrees it would be “dangerous”.

It stated it would amend the draft plan to instead run the path behind the yacht club and the boat ramp – which the angling club and yacht club say should now happen.

“There are so many contradictions in the plan,” Westernport Angling Club spokesman Don Newman said. “In the boating demand and capacity survey it states: ‘Demand is likely to increase into the future’ – yet they are reducing parking capacity,” Mr Newman said.

“The plan also states the angling club’s activities ‘contribute positively to the precinct and

You’ll love what we do

should continue’. Yet the plan urges removal of the club’s building and the grass area where the annual whiting challenge presentation is held.

“There is no positive suggestion as to where the angling club building should be relocated.

The plan states that the ‘yacht club is presently at capacity and requires expansion’ yet they suggest that the angling club and/or the Dolphin Research Institute move in with the yacht club.”

The shire was asked for comment on the “contradictions” but did not respond by deadline.

Mornington Peninsula Shire is asking for public comment via a drop-in session at Hastings Community Hub, 5.30-7.30pm, Thursday 21 September, as well as an on-line survey before 2 October.

Council watcher

THE arrival of a state government appointed monitor to oversee Frankston Council operations has not yet been finalised.

Labor Local Government Minister Marlene Kairouz said the government has not yet decided the duration of the monitor’s stay in Frankston.

The state government announced last Sunday week (10 September) that a monitor will attend council meetings amid concerns about councillor “infighting” in recent months.

“We have concerns about the conduct and proper functioning of Frankston Council – that’s why we are appointing a monitor,” Ms Kaiouz said.

“The monitor will report back to the government on how the Frankston Council is operating and give assistance where required.”

The minister can sack councillors and send in government administrators to run council at the recommendation of the monitor.

Agri-plan needed to save green wedge Mornington Peninsula Shire is 70 per cent agricultural land and has been called one of Victoria’s food bowls, a food bowl which is currently mainly fallow and unproductive due to a lack of water and inadequate town planning (“Hot springs denied on green wedge grounds” The News 12/9/17).

The decline in inter-generational job prospects has coincided with the decline in agricultural output in this area over the past 30 years. Unless there’s a long term plan for agriculture and horticulture to be made viable, this land will go the way of the rest of Melbourne’s green wedges - split up and overwhelmed by McMansions.

Farms on the peninsula are largely underworked and, contrary to what many believe, two horses and a goat does not a farm make; running one cow on an acre is not good use of prime agricultural land.

If we lock up these green wedges they will turn to weed. Besides, someone owns this land and has to pay substantial land rates and needs to generate an income from that land to make it viable.

This needs council and the state government to step in and develop a viable long term plan for the proper use of the land and not leave this to junior council planners to sort out.

Currently there are 350 megalitres a day of perfectly grade-A treated waste water being dumped to sea. This wasted water should be diverted to these agricultural areas to help develop a thriving industry close to Melbourne and reduce food miles.

The local TAFE colleges could train the necessary labour force, ensuring jobs and careers for future generations and to help lift many people out of the poverty trap. And all this while protecting our green wedges and our local food bowl.

If the current state government won’t step up, hopefully the next government will.

Christine Fry, Blairgowrie

Moving times When hearing about the intention of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s CEO Carl Cowie to open to corporate offices in Melbourne, I had to look at my calendar. But no, it’s not 1 April.

It seems our trusty council officers find the daily trip to work somewhat challenging. When we still had some of our sadly departed planning staff from times before, corporate hatchet men took over at our shire; staff were content to work locally for the local community.

We all had great expectations when the present CEO took over, but sadly we found out that it’s very challenging to actually get some work done.

So my advice to all the travel-averse-outof-town planners would be, find another job, somewhere you would actually like to live.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Congratulations council The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is to be congratulated on the new cattery at the Mornington pound. After years of substandard accommodation and care of the cats in the pound, it is very pleasing to see this new centre built and now operating.

The council is also working actively with over 50 rescue groups who help spread the load of finding new loving homes for the animals that come through the pound.

Peninsula Cat Rescue was at the forefront of pushing for change and we would like to thank the mayor Cr Bev Colomb for listening to our pleas for a better facility and care of cats and kittens.

Joy Herring, president Peninsula Cat Rescue

must be obtained every six months from a physician. With more than 1.2 million people registered with the National Diabetes Services Scheme and a rebate of $37 for each visit the Health Minister [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt has added $90 million to health care costs.

One has to wonder about the absurdity of this as there are no associated benefits.

This will cause no reduction in the costs associated with test strips as those who need them will continue to and will simply go to a bulk bill physician to get authorisation (as I do, which has added $74 to the governments cost).

So what is the purpose? What is the benefit?

Next we will hear of the rising costs of health care and the need to charge more for doctor visits and scripts and maybe even a $90 million cut to services.

How about getting bureaucratic costs out of the system for a change rather than adding them?

Joe Lenzo,Safety Beach

Farm rescue Really, I can’t see why mega rich media mogul Rupert Murdoch can’t, or won’t, chip in as Dame Elisabeth’s son and totally come to the rescue of her beloved Cruden farm with all its money woes (“Cruden Farm homes plan on the outer” The Times 4/9/17). Where’s Rupert Murdoch in all this?

Signature issue The response to the Peninsula Speaks planning law changes petition has been heartening. The seriousness of the threat to the Mornington Peninsula is galvanising the community to act.

Thousands have already committed their names, many have volunteered as foot soldiers for letterbox drops and community groups and individuals have been spreading the word. Their efforts need praise and recognition.

Our aim is to submit 1000 plus signatures for each of the nine sitting weeks of state parliament until it rises mid December.

So far we are on track to achieve the goal, but we need everyone to get involved. If you are able to assist in anyway including petition distribution and signature collection, please get in contact info@peninsulaspeaks.org.au.

The power of one

Men miss out Georgie Harman CEO ‘Beyond Blue” wrote in September about the national calamity that is suicide, saying ”eight Australians take their lives each day”. They are Melbourne University figures and show 77 per cent are male.

Male suicide and other men’s issues can be addressed in other ways but are not because men have allowed them themselves to become under represented in the realm of things.

Suicide is a permanent solution to most often a temporary problem.

Many men, especially in the critical 35 to 45 age group, may do something radical in the face of painful stressors because they are socialised to be men of action.

Unfortunately, the massive funding as a consequence of family violence has not factored men in at all. Men need refuges too, and suggesting critical “outreach” as well to men whose profile shows what might happen.

Many men will continue to take things into their own hands unless approaches other than those available are thought of as the solution, not the final one, which is so often absolutely unnecessary.

Remember, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem and can be reduced by practical approaches not theoretical.

a metal pylon by a passing UFO. Both the rock and the pylon have about as little visual appeal as could possibly be imagined.

A more appropriate title for this monstrosity might have been “A pile of crap”. And to think that our tollway money helps to pay for this sort of stuff.

Michael Long, Frankston

Tollway ‘art’ In 2011, when Southern Way funded the rusty ram’s head known by the fancy title “Rex Australis” and installed it beside the Skye Rd exit from Peninsula Link, I expressed the opinion that it was hideous.

I notice that in 2017 Southern Way has outdone the ugliness of that piece by inflicting upon us as its replacement something called “Iconoclast”, which resembles a large, nondescript piece of meteorite which has been dropped onto

What a mish mash of insanity,political and economic ideology, greed and profits our electricity supply has become.

A foreign owned company shuts down [Victoria’s] Hazelwood power station and another company wants to shut down the Liddell power station [in NSW].

Back in my memory striking unionists were threatened with jail under the Essential Services Act for effectively doing the same.

We are exporting gas and mountains of coal to be burnt elsewhere on the planet but we cannot create electricity here by using a little bit of it.

Isn’t this class A madness?

Even our mountains of exported iron ore needs to be smelted,creating massive carbon emissions.But it is making steel.

No wonder the thinking classes are voting for someone, anyone, other than the inept, stupid politicians running and ruining this country.

For the sake of sanity and stability build two or more replacement power stations fuelled by coal or gas. Stop subsiding wind, solar and (ha ha) giant batteries.

At the end of this century, the 28 billion people on this planet, all on cheap nuclear power, will laugh at us and our state-sponsored carbon theory religion.

Above all else, get the parasites out of the system: Distributors, wholesalers and retailers, each returning a (compounding) profit to their shareholders, all manipulating prices and fees according to “market forces”, as if electricity was real estate.

None of them are interested in maintenance or service unless forced to.

Look at the high voltage transmission pylons in South Australia that fell over in high winds.

Get them all out of it. Generate the power and deliver it to our door with one entity like it used to be and must be again.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Alexander Nicholson survives a snake bite Compiled by Cameron McCullough A CASE of snakebite occurred at Frankston on Wednesday afternoon, the victim being a school boy named Alexander Nicholson.

It appears that he, in company with other lads, was going through some scrub at the back of the school grounds when he felt what at first he thought was a thorn prick him on the knee.

Later on he began to feel sick, and the head teacher was informed.

On examination two distinct punctures were seen, and Mr Jennings at once tied a ligature above the marks, cut an incision each side and sucked the wound.

The lad was then taken to Dr Maxwell’s who gave what further aid was necessary to counteract the poison, and he has now quite recovered. *** AN American Tea and Jumble Fair will be held in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday afternoon and evening next, in aid of the funds of St Paul’s Church of England. *** THE Hon. Secretary of the Wattle Club begs to acknowledge the receipt of a donation of tobacco and cigarettes from Mrs Mann, “Harbury”, Frankston, for the benefit of returned wounded soldiers. *** WE regret to learn that there is no improvement in Mr Reynold’s health.

He is at present in St Pancras hospital.

Mrs Reynolds wishes us to state that she will carry on the business of selling the boots during Mr Reynolds illness, and Mr Wood has kindly

offered to look after the billiard room from whom the key can be obtained. *** WORD was received last week from the Defence Department by Mr D. P. Cain of Frankston that his son Pte Walter J. Cain was killed in action on 19th July 1916.

The letter also contained condolence from the King, Queen and Commonwealth.

Pte Cain was a general favorite in Frankston and identified himself with the church choir and was an enthusiastic footballer.

The many friends of Mr Cain deeply sympathise with him in his sad loss. *** ON Tuesday 25th to Saturday 29th Sept., 1917 the 7.32am train from Mornington will leave Frankston at 8.14am (instead of 8.19am) and run non-stop to Mordialloc leaving Mordialloc at 8.32am (instead of 8.46) stopping only at Caulfield, thence express to Melbourne arriving 9.10am.

On these dates extra train will leave Frankston at 8.19am, taking up the ordinary running of the 7.32am ex Mornington and stopping at usual station for latter train.

Carrum depart 8.31; Mordialloc, 8.46; arrive Melbourne 9.28. *** ATTENTION is directed to the advertisement of the Commonwealth Government asking for applications for participation in the £20,000,000 4½ per cent War Loan, 1927, for war purposes only.

Bonds will be issued in amounts of £10, £50, £100, £500. and £1000,

payable to bearer.

Interest is payable half yearly is free of State and Commonwealth income tax, and is payable free of exchange at any bank or State Savings Bank.

Applications accompanied by a deposit of £10 per cent, will be received at any branch of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia or any bank, State Savings Bank, Money, Order Post Office, or through any member of a recognised Stock Exchange.

Instalments payable similarly. Subscription list closes 2nd November. *** Mrs Barclay, of Osborne House, Frankston, has received the following sympathetic letter from General Birdwood in reply to one sent by her, inquiring the reason why her son Pte. H. W. T. Andrews had not had the usual leave of absence granted to men at the front.

Private Andrews is the only surviving son of Mrs Barclay.

He landed at Gallipoli on the 5th of May 1915, and was at the evacuation when he was afterwards sent to France, where he was wounded.

He has never had a day’s leave till that granted on 18th May, 1917.

1st Anzac Corps, France, 3rd August, 1917.

Dear Mrs Barclay, On receipt of your letter, I immediately made inquiries regarding your son in our 9th battalion, and I am glad to be able to tell you that he is with the regiment and in good health.

I quite agree in all you say as regards his having deserved a rest, and you will be pleased to know that

he had leave to England on the 18th May. This would have been granted him earlier, but he happened to be in hospital when his turn became due.

As you can imagine, all our men much appreciate and look forward to their ten days in England, and I only wish it were possible to give them longer leave. I am glad to say, however, that my men have recently had about two months complete rest from the trenches during nice warm weather, and the health and spirits of all are excellent.

I can fully enter into your feelings of anxiety regarding your only son, of whom you can rightly be proud, in the knowledge that he willingly answered the call of the Empire, and with his comrades has displayed so much gallantry and self sacrifice in the cause of justice and freedom.

I sincerely trust that he will be spared to return to you in safety and with honor when we have finally defeated our enemies, And with kind regards.

Yours sincerely, W. V. BIRDWOOD. *** Echoes from the Front. WHERE ARE THE BOYS WE KNOW! France, 1/6/17.

Dear Macdonald,—Your letter of 4th April to hand which I was very pleased to receive. You may have heard that I left the battalion shortly after you and since then my mail has been following me all round the place.

I was away two months altogether and am now back again, fit as a fiddle, with my ankle certainly weak,

but not too bad at all.

I tried to locate you while I was in England and hoped that you would have been at the 3rd London General where I was. Quite likely, however, your place was far nicer, and certainly hope so.

You needn’t worry about Heatly, he is quite alright and was sitting tight in a shell hole all that trying time.

Remember me to Cpl. Mace if he is still there, I hope you will both be soon fit and well, and yet, when you are, I suppose you’ll have to buckle into harness again, and I know after a “Blighty” that’s not the nicest prospect in the world.

I suppose you have been told that the O.C. put your stunt in as a V.C. one, anyhow I am right glad to know you got the D.C.M., and none knows better than I you deserve it, and I heartily congratulate you. I am at present acting O.C. “D” Company, as Cpt Harriott is away in England on leave.

We are having a very good time, as we have been billeted in a French village ever since we joined up, which is over a fortnight ago.

We are having splendid weather here and the country is looking fine.

Major James is acting O.C., and Col Watson is acting Brigadier. We have quite a lot of new officers whom you may not know when you rejoin.

Good luck and au revoir.

Yours truly, J O. SEALBBOOK. Lieut.

“D” Company, *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 September 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Wedding Singer For Rent – Has Own Transport and Shoes

By Stuart McCullough THIS is a first for me. Never before have I been asked to participate in a Postal Survey. I did once get embroiled in the Napisan Challenge, but that was more a ‘whiter than white’ rather than a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ kind of thing. And despite my best efforts to remove stubborn household stains, my use of a domestic-strength cleaning product failed to result in any major legislative amendment. That I know of. Worse still, I strongly suspect my involvement made little difference to the overall result.

I’ve always had strong opinions, but I’ve not always had the right vehicle to express them. I did, for a time, own a Daihatsu Charade. Sadly, it was barely the right vehicle to get to the shops and back and certainly wasn’t much of a vehicle to express my opinions.

Indeed, the only things my bile-green sedan communicated to the world at large were that I didn’t have much money and, quite possibly, was colour-blind. But owning a car that guaranteed my social ostracism was not enough for me. I felt the overwhelmingly misguided need to express myself through other means.

I’ve always been a big believer in writing letters to the newspaper. Back when such things required thought, contemplation and a whole lot of Liquid Paper, I’d fire off a missive to one of our major metropolitan dailies from time to time. As I recall, somewhere about Year 10 I took great umbrage when Angus Young from AC/ DC appeared to pledge himself to the service of Satan. At the time, I took a dim view of anyone who declared allegiance to the Dark Lord. With the

I had neither an AC/DC record nor a sense of humour then.

That I’m something of a ferocious correspondent should come as no surprise. It’s a trait I’ve inherited. My

father has been responsible for more than his fair share of letters over the years. But whereas my epistles have generally been directed to the Editor’s desk, my father was more ambitious.

When he purchased a Nissan E-20, he was deeply unsatisfied with the vehicle’s performance. (I barely remember it, but I suspect the E-20 wasn’t a patch on spleen-green Daihatsu Charade.) Unable to get a satisfactory response from the head of Nissan in Australia, my father chose to dramatically escalate his dispute by writing directly to Emperor Hirohito of Japan.

To this day, my father will remark that the Emperor didn’t even have the decency to reply.

There have been other times since when I’ve built up a head of steam and seen fit to express my opinion wildly and with great passion. Often, I’ve cared little about what collateral damage might be caused. Even worse, there was a time I believed the best way to do this was in song form. When it comes to writing topical songs, the results can either been extremely clever or extremely painful.

I was convinced I was clever. Having listened back to some of those old recordings, I am now prepared to accept that these musical diatribes were not so much painful as they were an affront to humanity.

That few people ever got to hear those songs seemed, then, to be an injustice. Now I regard it as a fortuitous mercy for all involved. All things considered, it beggars belief that, long ago, I actually sang at several weddings. More amazing still is that none of those couples are divorced. Yet. But at a certain point, I stopped commit-

ting everything to song and started to express myself through that most unrequited of formats – the unpublished novel. That those outpourings failed to materialize into print is something for which I am now oddly grateful.

For someone with opinions as strong as mine, the Internet has been a Godsend. Not only can I rabbit-on at length about anything that might tickle my fancy, I can communicate directly with those whom I hold responsible for any grievance I may hold. It is because of the Internet that Taylor Swift knows exactly how disappointed I am in her new single (It sounds like ‘My Humps’ by the Black Eyed Peas. Which is not, in any way, a compliment.)

All of which brings us in a roundabout way to the upcoming and snappily-titled ‘Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey’. I’ll be voting ‘Yes’.

This time there won’t be a need to express myself in song, letters to the editor or by posting witty comments on a website. A simple tick will be enough.

I’ve heard the arguments both for and against a change but am strongly persuaded by the fact that same sex marriage – to the best of my knowledge – won’t be compulsory. Which means it’s a matter of letting other people live the lives they want to and having their relationships recognized under law. Which is fair enough. I wish those hoping for change all the best.

In the event it gets up, I’ll even dust off the monkey suit and make myself available for weddings. Please note that although all those who’ve used my services to date are still married, I won’t be playing the new Taylor Swift song. Sorry. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Stonecats set new records PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW became the first team in more than 100 years of peninsula football to win four consecutive premierships on Sunday.

The Stonecats totally outclassed Bonbeach, booting eight goals to one in the second quarter and 10 unanswered goals in the last quarter to win by more than 100 points, 21.11 (137) to 5.5 (35).

Bonbeach led at quarter time, 2.0 (12) to 1.2 (8) and in fact outscored the opposition in two of the first three quarters. The problem was, Frankston YCW booted 18.8 to the Kars St end of Frankston Park in the second and last terms.

Frankston YCW went into the match with the best defence in the competition, averaging just 9.2 goals per game against them. They smashed that in the big dance.

Christian Ongarello blanketed Trent Dennis-Lane (three goals), while Byron Barry, Kevin Lylak, Anthony Barry, BJ Credlin and Craig Nankervis were absolutely dominant in the defensive end of the ground. Nankervis broke the league record last season with seven premierships. On Sunday he celebrated his eighth senior premiership and tenth overall at YCW, given he won an Under 18 and Reserves flag also.

In the middle, 38-year-old manmountain Ash Eames needed to beat inform Bonbeach ruckman Dylan Jones to give YCW the upper hand – Eames dominated Jones and anyone else who went in the middle and was awarded the RPPFM Player of the Match. Macklin Raine, in his first season, made sure

Picture: Scott Memery

the ruck ascendancy wasn’t loss when Eames had a spell.

This gave the likes of Scott McLeod, Tony Lester, Kyle Hutchison and Lachy Wallace first use of the footy – they executed perfectly whenever they got their hands on it.

The only change to the second semi final team was Lachlan Williams replacing Angus Wright. Williams boot-

ed two majors and was terrific. Wright played in the Under 19s premiership and was awarded the BOG medal.

On the outside, Matt LaFontaine was one of the best players on the ground and together with Jai Coghlan, Michael Debenham and Ryan Santon, they thrust the ball forward with consistent ease.

Once in attack, the Stonecats looked unstoppable.

Josh Butland booted five goals to make it 51 for the season, Anthony Bruhn finished with four majors and Paul Minchington and Luke Paynter finished with a couple each. Riley Hodson made sure when the ball got inside the attacking arc, it wasn’t coming out – his pressure was enormous.

Wayne Capp became a premiership coach in his debut season as the man

at the helm. His job this season, given the VFL-listed players in the team (11), cannot be underestimated. It’s nice to have them available, but rarely were they consistently.

On the field, and off the field, Frankston YCW has been the benchmark for two decades – there was little reason to suggest on Sunday that that was going to change any time soon.

Sharks just too good in Nepean Grand Final NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SORRENTO capped off an outstanding 2017 MPNFL Nepean Division season on Saturday when it led all afternoon to beat Frankston Bombers by 14 points.

Sorrento controlled the match on its terms for all but 15 minutes in the third quarter to win 13.5 (83) to 10.9 (69).

Had Frankston Bombers got its nose in front in the third quarter, the result could have been different. However, as they did throughout the match, the Sharks had the right answers when it mattered most.

Kicking with the aid of the wind to Frankston Park’s Kars St end, together with a parochial crowd riding them to an upset victory, Frankston really challenged in the ‘premiership quarter’ to bring the scoreboard to 56 to 49.

One of many of Sorrento’s young, local, talented stars, Marcus Gardner, then booted his first goal for the afternoon and Chris Dawes booted his second to stretch the margin back out to 19 points at the last change.

Coming home with the aid of the breeze, the Sharks kicked the first two goals of the final quarter, both by Nick Corp, to lock away the victory and yet another premiership cup.

To its credit, Frankston continued to rally and booted the final three goals of the game – by then, it was far too late.

Immediately after the match, exclusively to The News, premiership coach Troy Schwarze announced that “it was a great way to go out”.

“I’m done Toey. It’s been a great season and today was a great day, but

Picture: Andrew Hurst

I’m shot and there’s no better way to retire,” Schwarze said.

“It’s always tough to go into a grand final with the weight of expectation that you’re just going to win but the boys were just superb today.

“We kept at our task, played the way we wanted, didn’t get unsettled and won the match,” Schwarze said.

The coach was spot on. The difference between the two sides was skill execution.

Frankston Bombers continually looked rushed when in possession of the footy and turned the footy over countless times with poor execution by foot.

Only Sam Fox and Ryan MarksLogan consistently used the footy well by foot, although skipper Mitch Bosward worked tirelessly. Adam Pasquill was also outstanding in the ruck, replacing the injured Ryan Kitchen. He certainly broke even with

Ryan Williams, who has been fantastic for the Sharks this season.

Sorrento’s use of the footy was first class.

Skipper James Hallahan was close to best on ground given his ability to win his own footy, break away from stoppages and hit up targets with deadly accuracy.

On the receiving end of that more times than not was best on ground Leigh Poholke, who finished with six

goals.

In the middle, Luke Tapscott was a bull while young stars in Zac Byrns, Shannon Gladman, Chad Harris, Jay Blair and Dan Hickey showed tremendous maturity and skill through the middle and around the ground.

Leigh Treeby’s forward pressure, along with the agility and versatility of Jayden Tompkins and the leadership of Chris Dawes ensured that Sorrento converted a score from the majority of its forward entries.

There has been a question mark on Sorrento’s defence all season, which is something that has always fascinated me.

Daniel Grant is arguably the most skilful player by foot in the comp, Tyrren Head never loses a contest, Danny Stephenson uses the footy masterfully, Aaron Paxton is one of the most dour defenders in the competition, James Brigden is a team of the year full back and Ryan Potter and Nick Marsten can play tall or small – as a collective they were outstanding on Saturday.

It was a great day for the Sorrento Football Club, given it won the Reserves Premiership against Rosebud 8.3 (51) to 5.12 (42).

The Sharks led by six goals at half time but Rosebud booted four goals to one in the second half.

In the Under 19s, Red Hill won its first ever Under 19s premiership, winning in extra time to beat Somerville 9.6 (60) to 7.6 (48).

The Goose returns to the kennel

By Toe Punt AFTER almost a decade, Mornington Football Club’s favorite son Simon Goosey (pictured right) has returned to the kennel.

Goosey, who coached the Doggies to eight grand finals and four premierships in the 1990’s and 2000’s, said the move back to the Dogs “feels right”.

“I’ve always loved the Mornington footy club and my son (Will) still plays there, so it seemed like the right time to go back” Goosey said.

‘The Goose’ left the Dogs to “better himself” as a coach and moved to Frankston Dolphins in the VFL, where he also had a very successful career as a coach.

“I didn’t leave Mornington because I didn’t want to be there, I moved be-

cause I wanted to become a better coach at a higher level,” Goosey said.

“I always watched Mornington when I could and I’ve always taken a keen interest in the club, even in the past 10 years when I haven’t been involved.

For the past three years, Goosey has coached in the SEFNL at Cranbourne, where he guided the club to the 2016 premiership. Cranbourne was bundled out in the Preliminary Final and the official announcement of his departure and appointment at Mornington was made last Wednesday.

Goosey, who booted almost 2000 goals in his career at Richmond in the Under 19s, Geelong in the Reserves, Frankston Dolphins, Mornington and Dromana, will bring relevance back to the Mornington Football Club.

Club Football Manager Paul Garrett agreed.

“There is a real buzz around the club with Simon’s return, which will help with the players, club officials, supporters and even the business community,” Garrett said.

“We’re all very excited to have Simon back at Mornington,” Garrett said.

Goosey believes that with a strong base of junior talent and a core group of top end talent, Mornington can be featuring in the finals again very soon.

Dunne heads to Bulls In other coaching news, former Chelsea coach Brett Dunne has been appointed at Karingal Football Club for the next three years.

Dunne was instrumental in rebuilding the Chelsea Football Club. When

he became senior coach, he had less than half a dozen players attend early pre-season sessions.

A student and teacher of the game, Dunne has an amazing network of relationships throughout the football community and is the ideal fit for the Bulls.

Dunne was also interviewed for the Red Hill and Langwarrin jobs but accepted the Karingal offer immediately.

Crib Point has also announced that it is on the look-out for a senior coach, while Red Hill is tipped to make an announcement early this week.

Langwarrin has been busy interviewing with a former MPNFL coach right in the mix, Nepean premiers Sorrento will now begin to work hard to find a coach, while Tyabb is also looking for a man to lead the charge.

Candy strikes gold, Southern faces prelim SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie CANDELA Ferreyra-Bas is the toast of local soccer after winning the 2017 NPLW Gold Medal at a gala awards night last week.

Southern United’s captain and leading scorer was a runaway winner of the award which recognises the recipient as the premier performer in Victoria’s elite women’s competition.

The 21-year-old polled 39 referees votes to street the field, 10 votes ahead of runner-up Cindy Lay of Calder United.

It was a night of great celebration for the local club as senior coach Rob Giabardo was named NPLW Coach of the Year.

Giabardo wasted little time in calling for co-coach Bill Mihaloudis to join him on stage during the presentation acknowledging their partnership which has steered Southern to the verge of finals participation after its last-placed finish in 2016, its inaugural year of competition.

Mihaloudis is a former State junior coach and Ferreyra-Bas was in his Victorian squad at the 2010 national championships.

“This is the best football I’ve seen Candy play since then and I knew halfway through the season if she continued in the way she was playing that she would be right up there. She was sensational,” said Mihaloudis.

“She’s a true leader and an exceptional girl and this award will put the spotlight on her as far as W-league clubs are concerned.”

Another Southern star in the spotlight is US import Mikhaila Bowden who is in the midst of a three-week trial with Melbourne Victory.

However Southern’s championshipwinning under-13s suffered a setback last Saturday when they lost their qualifying final against Calder United 1-0 at Monterey Reserve.

Calder pressured Southern early and Sofia Cheng found space on the right of the Southern area but shot straight at Southern keeper Cadence Vakacavu.

Southern’s gun strikers Rhys McKenna and Candy Kilderry had chances in the space of a minute but couldn’t convert then Cheng struck a low inviting ball across the face of the Southern goal but there were no takers.

Southern fans were dumbfounded in the 13th minute when Kilderry surged into the Calder area and was tripped but referee Jordan Vacouftsis waved play on.

Southern’s best chance of the half was fashioned a minute later after a surging run down the left and a back post cross from Talia Palmer but Kilderry slid down in the soggy condi-

In the 18th minute Vakacavu played the ball out to Taylah Hennekam who was robbed by Calder striker Olivia De La Plaza-Sanchez whose shot flashed wide of the target with Vakacavu out of position.

The pivotal moment in a gripping contest came 10 minutes into the second half.

De La Plaza-Sanchez made a surging solo run then won a tackle which took her to just outside the Southern box before unleashing a high looping shot over Vakacavu and into the back of the net to break the deadlock.

Slick interpassing between Kilderry, Alessandra Davis and Brianna Watson opened up the Calder defence in the 42nd minute but Watson shot wide.

Three minutes from time McKenna sent a superb ball from the right in behind the Calder defence and although Kilderry was steaming in at the far post she couldn’t make effective contact and another chance went begging.

The loss pitches Southern into a cutthroat preliminary final next weekend against local rival Bayside United which downed South Melbourne 3-1 in their elimination final.

As we went to press Southern was waiting for confirmation from FFV

19 September 2017

that the match would take place at Monterey Reserve on Saturday morning.

The winner will face Calder in the Grand Final on Sunday 1 October at a venue to be decided.

Altona Magic made it back-toback Victorian State 1 titles when it defeated Langwarrin 3-0 at J.L. Murphy Reserve in Port Melbourne on Saturday.

The match pitted the champion teams from State 1 South-East and State 1 North-West against each other.

Langy central defender George Whiteoak made an early impression on Magic keeper Sebastien Bechaud when the big Englishman landed on Bechaud’s back and the keeper’s teammate Jon McShane did even more damage at the 20-minute mark when defending a corner and Bechaud had to be replaced by substitute Michael Stark.

Magic had put the Langy defence under pressure before the enforced substitution with right-sided striker Jason Hayne shooting over from 10 metres in the 14th minute and young Langy keeper James Foster getting down bravely at the feet of Hayne in the 18th minute to smother well.

Magic eventually prized open the

Langy defence in the 29th minute when James McGarry headed home from point blank range.

Two minutes later ace Langy striker Liam Baxter had a golden opportunity to level after Magic lost possession at the back but curled his shot just over the bar.

A defensive blunder in the 35th minute gifted possession to McShane who blasted over from the left side of the area and three minutes later a superb solo run by attacking midfielder Amadu Koroma ended with a shot straight at Foster who gathered cleanly.

A brilliant long ball from Aaran Currie in the 42nd minute put Connor Belger through on a one-on-one with Stark but the Langy star couldn’t finish on his favoured left foot and Stark was able to parry.

Belger returned the favour three minutes into the second half with a pinpoint cross from the left which Currie blasted over at the back post.

Belger then sent Currie through in the 51st minute but the young Scot slammed a low shot against the upright and the ball was scrambled clear.

Two minutes later Foster made a fine smother to deny McShane but was helpless as Magic went further ahead in the 56th minute.

Hayne motored clear on the right and his low cross was met first time by the incoming Melvin Becket at the near post for a tap-in to make it 2-0.

A minute later Belger set up Langy midfielder John Guthrie whose shot was blocked and Foster effected a fine save to deny Ben Clarke shortly after.

A defensive blunder in the 65th minute sent Magic substitute Adamson Ajayi clear but his shot was deflected for a corner and shortly after Langy subtitute Sergio Yanez shot over after Stark failed to gather a Belger cross.

Magic substitute Festin Elmazi completed the scoreline in the 77th minute and six minutes into time added Belger passed to Baxter whose cheeky backheel set up Yanez but his close range shot sailed well over.

It was the final attacking act of an open, flowing contest dominated by Magic which ran out a deserved victor.

There were moments in the contest where Langy gave as good as it got and defender Nick Thorogood was superb.

It also was the last match for a number of Langy players as the promoted club is only allowed two visa players in the NPL and senior coach Gus Macleod will have some tough decisions to make in coming weeks as he assembles his squad.

The Lawton Park outfit’s preparations for its elevation to NPL status are in full swing and last week the club announced the appointment of former junior coach Stephen Fisher as technical director.

Fisher has completed an AFC B licence coaching course and has been working in the NPL for the past few seasons.

He is overseeing applications for suitably qualified coaches for the club’s junior teams from under-12 level to under-20s and trials for those teams will start next month as will preseason training for the seniors.

In other news Peninsula Strikers have received five applications for their senior coaching position after advertising the post last week.

Former player and ex-English professional Willie Raynes, who only took over as coach in the back half of the recently completed season, is one of the applicants.

President Trevor Johnston will seek re-election at the club’s AGM. Johnston has retired from senior football along with veteran defender Troy Williams.

This weekend: SATURDAY 10am: Southern Utd v Bayside Utd, NPLW Under-13 preliminary final at Monterey Reserve (to be confirmed).

Pitches set-up soccer club’s future

By Ben Triandafillou THE Mt Eliza Soccer Club has seen continuous growth since starting out in 2008 and has begun to facilitate their uptake with a new set-up at Emil Madsen Reserve, Mt Eliza.

Outgrowing their home at Howard Parker Reserve, the club has sought support from the shire over the past few years to establish a new set-up.

The club now has two pitches currently up and running behind the Mt Eliza ‘Redlegs’ Football ovals which they started training and playing on early last month.

President of the Mt Eliza Soccer Club Keith Doyle said the need for the new set-up has become more important especially over the last 15-18 months.

“We are quite a young club but we are gaining a lot of traction now,” Doyle said.

“We had 34 teams playing this season, including two new girl’s teams.

“We have gone to the next level and Emil Madsen Reserve has been an amazing addition.”

Flood lights are set to be put in place over the Christmas period with plans for a third pitch to be developed.

“We’ll be starting fresh next season and rearing to go with the new lights put in place,” he said.

“The pitch’s drainage is spectacular. I’m sure the Mt Eliza Soccer Club will have one of the best facilities on the Mornington Peninsula.”

A new pavilion with 4-5 sets of change rooms and a social area is also looking at being developed in the next few years.

Kicking goals: Mt Eliza Soccer Club’s Keith Doyle on one of the new soccer pitches.

Cadel driven by challenge

By Ben Triandafillou GO KARTING talent Cadel Ambrose has concluded a thrilling season with a victory in the final round of the Australian kart championships on Sunday 3 September.

The victory pushed nine-year-old Cadel into third place of the cadet-nine Australian kart championships overall standings.

Taking to the track on Todd Road, Port Melbourne Cadel had to make up an 11 point difference in the fifth and final round to make it into the top three but the challenge just gave him more drive to succeed.

“He was pretty excited heading into the final round,” Cadel’s mother Suzie Morrell said.

“He was sitting in fourth place leading into it so he really had to perform well to make it into third place.

“He keeps telling everyone now that “I’m the

third fastest in Australia”. He raced really well all weekend and he’s really happy with making into the top three.”

Cadel, of Bittern, won round two at Geelong earlier this year and again stood at the top of the podium when awarded with a trophy for taking out the final event.

The budding young driver was also awarded with the no. 3 go kart plate at the final presentation which was held at Etihad Stadium on the Sunday night.

Cadel will now get to race a little faster next season as he moves into the cadet-12 category and the speed restrictor is removed from his go kart.

“It gets a lot more competitive with much bigger fields in the older category,” Morrell said.

“I’m a little nervous but he’s really looking forward to it and he’s just loving it at the moment.”

Rye runs “your choice” raffle

THE Rye Football Club is running a “your choice” major raffle worth $40 000 this year with 800 tickets up for grabs.

The raffle is set to be drawn on Sunday 15 October at RJ Rowley Reserve, Rye with tickets selling for $100.

Netballers not thrown off by wet weather

By Ben Triandafillou THE early showers couldn’t hold back the netball supporters from cheering on their teams at the Nepean Football Netball League grand finals on Saturday 9 September at Bunguyan Reserve, Tyabb.

In the under-17s grand final Pearcedale overcame the wet conditions to break away late in the match to defeat Red Hill (33-27).

In a rematch of last year’s grand final, Crib Point faced Tyabb in the A-grade grand final in much better conditions as the sky cleared up for the main event. Crib Point made the most of their opportunities and was able to seal the win in a fast paced game defeating Tyabb 43-29.

Somerville got out to an early lead in the Bgrade grand final against Crib Point and never looked back to secure their victory 41-21.

It was a tight match in the C-grade grand final between Crib Point and Somerville and had to go into overtime to declare a winner. Crib Point emerged in overtime defeating Somerville by two goals (37-35).

The D-grade grand final between Rye and Frankston was close throughout. It wasn’t until the fourth quarter when Rye stretched their lead to claim the victory (35-29).

Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League operations manager, Haydn Parsons, said that there was a great crowd on the day despite the poor conditions in the morning.

“The marquees provided some shelter early on for the supporters but as the day moved on the crowd just continued to build,” Parsons said.

“There were plenty of Crib Point supporters on the day with their three teams playing in the grand finals.”
