Nine line up for Flinders Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au TWO sitting MPs are among the nine candidates contesting the seat of Flinders in Saturday 18 May federal election.

Liberal Greg Hunt, who has held the seat for 18 years, is being opposed by former Liberal colleague now independent Julia Banks, the MP for Chisholm, as well as two other independents and five party-aligned candidates.

Two candidates, Susie Beveridge and Reade Smith, are former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors.

Candidates as they appear on the ballot paper: Harry Dreger, independent; James Persson, Animal Justice Party; Greg Hunt, Liberal; Reade Smith, Sustainable Australia; Josh Sinclair, Australian Labor Party; Nathan Lesslie, The Greens; Christine McShane, United Australia Party; Julia Banks, independent; and Susie Beveridge, independent.

Flinders is regarded as being safe for the Liberals, with Mr Hunt winning the 2016 election with a seven per cent two-party preferred majority.

However, the electorate boundaries have changed since the 2016 election and Flinders now covers just the Mornington Peninsula and French Island;

previously it included much of the Shire of Bass and Phillip Island.

The redistribution notionally cut Mr Hunt’s margin from 7.8 per cent to a still-healthy seven per cent.

Another factor may be Labor’s surprise win in last November’s state election of the state seat of Nepean, held for the Liberals for 14 years by outgoing MP Martin Dixon. The area covered by Nepean would have been seen as a stronghold for Mr Hunt.

His Labor opponent, Josh Sinclair, was campaign manager for the now Labor MP for Nepean, Chris Brayne.

Ms Banks, one of the three independents seeking election, left the Liberal Party last November accusing both

major political parties of “bullying and intimidation” following the leadership turmoil that saw Scott Morrison appointed prime minister after the resignation of Malcolm Turnbull. Mr Hunt would have been deputy leader if Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton had succeeded in his bid to take Mr Turnbull’s place.

Neighbouring Dunkley - which lost 19,000 mostly Mornington voters to Flinders in the electorate boundary realignment - was won in 2016 by Liberal Chris Crewther.

Mr Crewther managed to win the seat previously held by fellow Liberal Bruce Billson with a slim majority, but on past voting figures it is now regard-

FEDERAL ELECTION 2019

Signs of persuasion, and complaint Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au LOOK at me, look at me. Vote for me. Posters with pictures of would be members of parliament (or those already elected and wanting to keep their jobs) are popping up all over the place.

They’re on fences, trees, shop windows, front yards and on trailers pulled through busy shopping centres.

There’s nothing new about the political poster, just as there’s nothing new about them derided (or defaced) by supporters of another candidate or party.

Earlier this month signs promoting a vote for independent Flinders candidate Julia Banks were placed on the nature strip outside The Bays Hospital, Mornington, while the electorate’s current representative, Greg Hunt, was just metres away inside the hospital grounds explaining how taxpayers’ money would be used to expand the hospital’s services.

Inspired or cheeky? No doubt the answer to that question depends on your political persuasion.

Mornington Peninsula Shire took a dim view, ordering the signs be removed.

The shire’s environment protection manager John Rankine said signs “advertising a political candidate on the nature strip near The Bays Hospital were reported to the shire”.

“The person who placed the signs was asked to remove them and to contact council to discuss placing them properly,” he said.

Signs of discontent: Flinders MP, Greg Hunt, above, at the corner of Loders and Godings roads, Moorooduc, is seeking re-election while the left-wing lobby group GetUp has him in its sights, centre, and independent Julia Banks can see herself up a tree in Purves Road, Arthurs Seat.

Mr Rankine provided a list of “provisions that apply to A-frame signage as set out in the Signage Policy in Section C Movable Advertising Signage (General)”, which include a $100 fine.

Ms Banks has told The News that it was “not her people” who removed the sign.

Last week John Parrent wrote to Mr Rankine about there appearing to be “one interpretation of council by-laws for Julia Banks and a difference interpretation for other candidates, including but not limited to, Greg Hunt”.

Mr Parrent, a member of the Liberal party’s Central Peninsula branch, said he wanted “a level playing field” when it came to the displaying of political signs. He supplied photographs of signs for Ms Banks attached to trees around the Arthurs Seat area.

He said the shire’s by-laws “clearly state the political signs are not to be attached to any trees be they on the road side or on trees in private property”.

Mr Parrent said Cr Antonella Celi had “requested” him to refer the signs to Mr Rankine. “Please help me under-

stand why Julia Banks appears to have impunity to prosecution to breaking the local by-laws and other members of the community who respect the local by-laws, are unable to display their support to their candidate of choice in a similar manner that the MPSC is turning a blind eye to for Julia Banks,” he stated in his letter to Mr Rankine.

“Perception is reality and the current perception is that the MPSC is actively supporting Julia Banks by allowing this illegal breach of local by-laws to continue.”

Meanwhile, the left-leaning lobby group GetUp has emailed supporters on the peninsula asking them to display “action on climate change” signs on their front fences.

Mr Hunt is one of the politicians being targeted by GetUp. “Our polling shows that, like never before, the seat of Flinders is sitting on a knife-edge,” GetUp’s email states.

“Having a yard sign is an easy and powerful way to help persuade voters in Flinders to put climate first when they head to the ballot box this election.”

Water offer saves the day (for now) Bianca Paganoni paddles in the puddle that last month represented all the water remaining in the dam at her family’s Moorooduc property.

Picture: Yanni

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A MOOROODUC family business has been given access to vital water supplies to tide it over until the drought breaks.

The Stumpy Gully Road apple orchard run by the Paganoni family since the 1960s, was on the verge of going under when its irrigation-fed dam dried up and recycled water proved uneconomic to buy (“Shire calls for drought aid” The News 18/3/19).

The plight of Atlanta Fruit Sales prompted Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to call on state water minister Lisa Neville to declare the region “drought affected” in a strategic move aimed at giving hard-hit farms, businesses and recreational and sports grounds easier access to cheaper water.

Last week, South East Water’s Rowan Barling contacted the shire to say the authority had liaised with Mark and Jackie Paganoni to “identify a solution that involved modifications to a water main near their property that will allow immediate access to potable water”.

“They now have the ability to extract the water they need to support their agricultural business and appear satisfied with this short-term solution,” Mr Barling said.

He added there was “more work to be done to ensure long-term access to a secure source of water for agricultural businesses on the Mornington Peninsula and we look forward to working with council and the community in resolving this challenge”.

The Paganonis plea led Cr Antonella Celi to move an urgent item at a recent council meeting calling on the state government to support the shire’s recycled water projects, including accessing Eastern Treatment Plant Class A recycled water flowing into the sea through the South Eastern Outfall near

Gunnamatta. This water is seen as going to waste when it could offer a cheap and almost limitless supply for agriculture and firefighting.

“The shire is very concerned about water security and drought on the peninsula,” Cr Celi said at the time.

“We are taking action to call on the

state government so that immediate and affordable access to recycled water supplies are delivered to our farmers, emergency services, recreational and sports facilities and businesses in the most cost-effective way.”

The Paganonis had written to the council last month saying that despite

“being frugal” with their dam water “it looks as though we are not going to make it through”.

“We have spent an extensive amount of money setting up new plantings but, if we cannot finish this year’s crop off, all of that will be in jeopardy as our financial position will not be in a good state,” they said.

Ms Paganoni asked the mayor Cr David Gill for help in contacting “the right person” at state government level and for shire help if using recycled water was an option.

Cr Gill described Mr Barling’s water offer as a “good outcome” for Atlanta Fruit Sales which is one of the few remaining apple orchards on the peninsula. It employs about 20 permanent staff and up to 50 extras during harvesting and thinning.

Mr Paganoni said he was “grateful” for the water access which “kept us going”. “It got us through to the end of harvest and we are very happy about that,” he said.

The orchardist said he paid full price for the water which had since been turned off. “The winter outlook doesn’t look good and so we are hoping for good spring rains,” he said.

“Our dams are as dry as they have ever been.”

Club celebrates $7m rebuild PORTSEA Surf Life Saving Club president Stuart Rayner said members had been “blown away” by the new multi-million dollar clubhouse.

“It’s been a long seven-year journey, but the wait has absolutely been worth it,” he said.

“We look forward to sharing this fabulous new facility with the broader Mornington Peninsula community once it’s fully operational next season.”

Premier Daniel Andrews was a

guest of Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr David Gill and Crs Hugh Fraser and Bryan Payne at a function to open the $7.65 million clubhouse, Saturday 20 April. The ageing and weather-worn clubhouse has been rebuilt and an access road constructed to enable ambulance access.

Cr Gill said the shire was delighted to have contributed $1 million towards the rebuild alongside the state government’s $2.15 million. Community support and contributions by the

club’s 2000 members raised another $4.5 million.

“People of all ages will be encouraged to become new members or continue to be involved in life saving activities in this purpose-built facility,” Cr Gill said.

Cr Fraser said the clifftop site “presented considerable technical difficulties” that were overcome with the club “working closely with Parks Victoria and the shire”.

“We are trying to do everything we can to stop people killing themselves and others, but we need the whole community to get on board with us in this effort."

A range of mobile patrols, booze buses and Automated Number Plate Recognition sites were run during the break.

preliminary breath tests and 168 preliminary drug tests and detected 16 drink drivers and nine drug drivers, as well as 246 other offences during Operation Nexus over Easter.

A 19-year-old youth died after falling off the back of a ute in Heatherhill Road, Frankston, 2.40am Good Friday morning. His was the only life lost on Mornington Peninsula roads during the Easter period, although four others were killed earlier in April.

Divisional Superintendent Adrian White said: “April has been a tragic month for the area so far, with four people losing their lives on our roads.

“Five people have now died on our roads in 2019 – the same as for the whole of 2018.

Looming ‘tsunami’ of carers’ legacy Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A “TSUNAMI” of unfulfilled needs is about to swamp the Mornington Peninsula unless governments immediately act to provide more and better care for the disabled “children” of aged parents.

That’s the warning from long-time GP Graham Cato (pictured left) who daily sees the heartbreak imposed on loving – but now-elderly – parents forced to house and provide for their disabled children all their lives but who now are becoming physically and emotionally beyond it.

Dr Cato said cynical governments had not bothered providing viable alternative accommodation because these loving and compliant parents were providing it “for free” to support their offspring.

The issue was highlighted at a meeting run by Community Lifestyle Accommodation in Mornington earlier this month where delegates pleaded for help for carers burdened by their adult children but worried about what will happen “when they go” (“Carers in crisis over dependent children” The News 9/4/19).

CLA estimates that, by 2025, there will be a shortfall of accommodation places for 35,000-55,000 NDIS clients “who will have little hope of ever developing any sort of community inclusion and independent living”.

Dr Cato, who has run his clinic on Frankston-Flinders Road, Balnarring, since 1979, has also been involved in assisting at non-profit Kindilan at Red Hill which provides residential care of those with severe intellectual and physical disability who have nowhere else to go.

“Little did I know at the time that I would still be doing my Wednesday clinics and be on call for their medical issues 39 years later,” he said.

He became an inaugural member of Australian Association of Developmental Disability Medicine (AADDM) and

attended its annual conferences to “learn more about this group … about whom I never learned during my studies”.

Dr Cato said that while most of these clients initially were teenagers they are now adults in 50s-plus. “I have had increasing contact with parents continuing to care for their ageing children at home and have tried to advise and help as much as possible,” he said. “However, I cannot build houses.”

He added: “Without a word of criticism or complaint your readers could not possibly understand or comprehend how terrifying it is for these parents to imagine what will happen to their doubly devoted children when they are deceased or in other ways unable to care for them.

“I guess [they] could painfully imagine one of their own children becoming disabled, either by illness or accident, and [ponder] what would happen to their care in the future?”

Dr Cato has called on governments to act before the “tsunami of care needs” overwhelms the community in the near future. “I think that the best and perhaps only solution is to provide accommodation which is appropriate to their needs associated with well-paid, well-trained carers,” he said.

Suitable accommodation would need specific equipment, such as lifting machines and 24/7 care to help clients dress, provide transport, and “cater to every aspect of their future care”.

While this would enable the “lovely, but unfortunate, people to continue to lead the life their devoted parents have prepared for them” it is “just not happening”.

Dr Cato said over the past decade the care needs of 40 to 50-year-old disabled clients and their 70 to 80-year-old parents had created their own “tsunami” which could only worsen in the next decade.

“This has got to be something everyone realises is a problem and that we have to work together to solve it,” he said.

NEWS DESK RED Hill-based artist Michael Leeworthy finds inspiration while bushwalking and, while he has no problems walking alone, has now formed a club to explore the many trails around the Mornington Peninsula.

Picture: Gary Sissons

Trail blazing artist opts for the open air Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au RED Hill-based artist Michael Leeworthy regularly abandons his pallet and easel in favour of donning a pair of shorts and hiking boots.

Instead of heading off to paint plein air, he’s seeking fresh air and the type of inspiration that only walking through the bush can provide.

It’s now 40 years since he joined the Peninsula Bushwalking Club, inspired by his parents-in-law who had just

walked to the Mt Everest base camp.

“I did not know anyone who did stuff like that. It literally changed my life, as the only walking I had done before that was walking to the bar,” Leeworthy recalls.

That inspiration led him on many walks in Australia and overseas, including “clocking” about 2000 kilometres along the Camino De Santiago (The Way of St James) in Spain.

Last year he “celebrated” turning 70 by walking the Larapinta Trail in the Northern Territory.

“Bushwalking is not for everyone, but I see it as a type of meditation,” Leeworthy says.

“It's interesting that when I visit areas like Wilsons Promontory I often chat with the European visitors and ask if they are going to come to the Mornington Peninsula they usually respond with a no.

“They think the peninsula is just about the wineries and are surprised when I say that there are literally dozens of walking trails.”

Long been an advocate of the pen-

insula’s walking trails Leeworthy has now formed a walking club based at Red Hill (“Track to put peninsula on tourist path” The News 2/2/16).

“With the help of local knowledge and Ken Martin’s Walks of the Mornington Peninsula, the Red Hill Walking Club is up and running or, at least, walking,” he says.

“We have excluded children under 16 as well as dogs.”

Membership is free and the Red Hill Lions Club provides insurance and approves the “walks calendar”.

Plant Sale

Walks are graded, with a five-kilometre walk on the flat would be seen as “easy”. “An example of that would be Red Hill to Tonkins Road and return,” Leeworthy says. “Although a similar distance like Seawinds to the Dromana Cemetery and back up along the winding Arthurs Seat road would be regarded as a medium to hard,” Leeworthy said.

Red Hill Walking Club holds walks from 8am Sunday and Wednesday mornings. For details and walks calendar email michaellee48@bigpond.com

Day to highlight plight of koalas ROSEBUD resident Dirk Jansen is organising events to highlight the plight of koalas on the Mornington Peninsula, including a koala day next month.

“Many people are surprised to find out there are still koalas living on the peninsula,” he said.

“There is something special about observing wild koalas in their natural habitat and residents and visitors are always delighted when a koala visits their backyard or is spotted on one of the many bush walks.”

Mr Jansen said the peninsula’s small population of koalas has been declining rapidly.

“Like everywhere else on the east coast of Australia, koalas face many challenges, such as habitat loss due to land clearing and climate change; vehicle strikes, disease and dog attacks,” he said.

He said long-term residents are concerned at the lack of koala sightings in recent years, prompting fears that the remaining population is too small to be viable.

A 2016 study by Deakin University found that koalas were not thriving on the peninsula, with no record of breeding.

“Many old koala trees are being lost through removal and dieback, and parks and reserves are not connected well enough for animals to move from one reserve to another,” Mr Jansen said.

Koalas are regularly sighted at Somers, Balnarring, Arthurs Seat State Park and Greens Bush, with occasional sightings at Mt

Eliza, Mt Martha and Tyabb, Red Hill and around Flinders. The only place where koalas are not naturally found is on the Nepean Peninsula from Capel Sound to Portsea.

Favourite trees for koalas are manna and swamp gums and mess-

mates. Areas with mature trees are vital for the survival of koalas and other wildlife, such as sugar gliders, possums and many birds.

Koalas are fussy eaters and it takes at least five years for young trees to grow tall enough for koalas to consider them as food trees.

“Without urgent intervention, koalas face an almost certain local extinction on the Mornington Peninsula,” Mr Jansen said.

The Saturday 4 May koala day runs 10am-midday at 20 Kinwendy Road, Boneo.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Operation Tofu Burger and Other Ill-Conceived Ideas

By Stuart McCullough WHO knew? Until recently, ‘militant vegan’ was such a blatant contradiction in terms that the very notion seemed utterly inconceivable. What’s next? Pescatarian ninjas? Extremist piano tuners? Guerilla florists? There’s no telling where this madness take us.

I’d wrongly assumed that all vegans were peace-loving, mung bean-chewing, hemp pants wearing peaceniks who, quite literally, wouldn’t hurt a fly and, in fact, if a fly was being hurt would most probably film the event and post it online in a bid to start some kind of campaign. Certainly not as the farm-raiding, farmer-harassing, intersection occupying human roadblocks of recent events.

I know, I know. A handful of people hell bent on making a nuisance of themselves should, in no way, be considered representative of those who choose to embrace the vegan lifestyle. If you’re a vegan, then good for you. If you come over for dinner, I’m more than happy to cater to your needs. That’s because, whether for health, economic or ethical reasons, I completely respect the choice you’ve made. Ideally, those feelings would be mutual.

I understand that sometimes people feel passionately and want to make a point. But it does it have to be so angry? Rage is swiftly becoming the default setting for public discourse.

The more outraged you are, it seems, the more correct you must be. Suddenly, there’s no place for persuasion.

To reason is considered unreasonable.

Instead, it’s assertion over evidence.

Shouting over dialogue. It’s crash or crash through. So while I appreciate

Hands up if you’ve received a letter from Peter McCullough: Japanese Emperor Hirohito died in 1989, before he was able to respond to Mr McCullough’s letter of complaint about the lack-lustre performance of his Nissan E-20.

that some things are worth getting worked up over, I personally have trouble accepting that ‘real milk versus almond milk’ should be one of those things. Perhaps it boils down to this: calling yourself an ‘activist’

does not grant you the social license to behave like a dead-set dill.

Being a militant vegan must be tough, though. To be surrounded by so much that offends you on a daily basis can only be maddening. Leather, meat

and cheese; it’s hard to go through life without running into them at some point. Even everyday expressions such as ‘there’s no point crying over spilt milk’ must be something of an affront if you think milking a cow constitutes institutional oppression. But does that really justify such a confrontational approach?

It made me wonder - what kind of training is involved to become a militant vegan? Presumably the boots at boot camp are not made of leather.

Cardboard shoes wouldn’t be acceptable either, given that it’d require the felling of trees at some point and synthetic materials are basically poison.

Rather, I assume that everybody is barefoot. I strongly suspect there’s no physical training. I, for one, was not surprised that being a militant vegan involved standing in one spot and refusing to move as opposed to something more aerobically demanding.

Charging across a field or parachuting out of an airplane is not the militant vegan way.

It’s hard to know what they might have been thinking in terms of tactics.

In blocking a major intersection at peak hour, what did they hope to achieve by making people late for work? It’s unlikely that anyone got to their office half an hour after their usual start time, suffering some serious stink eye from their colleagues and, as a result, decided to stop using animal products. It’s more likely that those affected by the action responded to the added stress of being late for work by comfort eating the kind of things that would make a militant vegan’s head explode with rage. Or maybe that’s just me.

Then again, what would I know?

I don’t think I’ve ever protested for anything. I’ve complained plenty. But that’s not really the same thing. In fact, I come from a long line of complainers. My family is full of them.

When we complain, we do so in the biggest, grandest way possible even though it doesn’t involve sitting in an intersection or chaining ourselves to equipment. Instead, it involves letters.

And not just letters to some midlevel bureaucrat who’ll file them away in some dim dark distant corner never to be seen again. In our family, we like to take our concerns straight to the top.

When my father was unhappy with his Nissan E-20 minibus, he didn’t just write to the head of the Nissan Corporation, he wrote to the Emperor of Japan. Then complained that he didn’t get the courtesy of a response.

If something goes wrong with his paper delivery, he’s more likely to take it up directly with Rupert than with the local newsagent. I can’t be sure, but I’m almost confident that when world leaders get together, they compare notes on the letters they’ve received from my father.

I guess all I’m saying is that I’m not sure it’s good to be a militant anything. Whether vegan, Vulcan or veterinarian, something less strident is called for. Less angry. I only hope it doesn’t spark some kind of retaliatory action; one in which groups of carnivores set up at the tricky intersection behind Frankston station and start roasting a lamb on a spit. Granted it sounds delicious, but that’s not the point. We can, I think, do better than this. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Sharks and Pythons keep up good starts DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn PINES have kept their unbeaten 2019 record intact with a big win over Bonbeach away from home.

Playing against a very capable Bonbeach outfit, Pines faced some difficulties and were only three points up heading into the final term. Although the game threatened to go down to the wire, Pines put together an impressive final term to claim a comfortable win.

Brendan Barfoot booted three goals for the Pythons, as his side secured victory 8.10 (58) to 13.7 (85). Trent Dennis-Lane worked hard for Bonbeach and booted three goals of his own, At David Macfarlane Reserve, Sorrento were also fighting to keep their 2019 record unblemished as they faced off against Dromana.

The contest was tight in the first half, with Sorrento inaccuracy in front of goal costing them a big lead. Despite having six more scoring shots, Sorrento only went into half time six points ahead.

Although the Sharks never steadied in front of goal, they still managed to keep on the pressure and claim a win 9.20 (74) to 6.8 (44).

The Hallahan brothers were at their best for Sorrento, who are now 4-0 to start the season.

Rosebud enjoyed a good day out on the road against EdithvaleAspendale, helping themselves to a 45 point win.

Rosebud ran away with the win after a six goals to one final term. Keegan Downie played a big part for the winning outfit, scoring five majors.

The final siren sounded with Rosebud well ahead. They notched up their first victory of the season 10.6 (66) to 16.15 (111). The loss leaves Edithvale-Aspendale struggling at 1-3.

At Greg Beck Oval, Frankston Bombers hosted their cross town rivals Frankston YCW in what would prove to be a one sided affair.

The Bombers could only manage one goal and eight behinds in the first half, and never recovered.

The Stonecats got the job done over their local rivals, securing the win 5.11 (41) to 14.14 (98).

Josh Butland booted four majors for the Stonecats.

Mt Eliza gave their home town crowd plenty to smile about against Mornington, hammering the Bulldogs with a good team performance.

The Redlegs were impressive, and kept Mornington to just three goals for the whole afternoon. The final score read 13.14 (92) to 3.6 (24).

Python power: Pines remain unbeaten in 2019 after seeing off Bonbeach.

Hillmen continue dominating form DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn THERE is plenty to smile about at Red Hill at the moment, as the Hillmen secured their second consecutive victory by over 100 points on Saturday.

After pumping Crib Point last week, Red Hill looked as if they woudl face a bigger challenge this week against Hastings. The Blues had locked in star forward Brendan Fevola to make an appearance on the road to bolster their chances of a win.

Despite their forward firepower, Hastings were completely overwhelmed from the get go. Red Hill went into quarter time with a 44 point lead, holding the Blues goalless.

Red Hill kept up their relentless attack throughout the afternoon. When the final siren finally sounded to put Hastings out of their misery, the scoreboard read 18.17 (125) to 2.5 (17).

The closest match of the round took place at Glover Reserve, as Devon Meadows took on Rye. The Demons got off to a red hot start and held a 17 point lead at the first break of play. Devon Meadows worked hard to stay in touch after that, but Rye kept them at an arm’s length.

Rye held on to get the win 10.9 (69) to 12.17 (89).

Things were not so close at Belvedere Reserve, as a second half blitz saw Seaford smash Pearcedale.

Heading into the second half Pearce-

dale were only eight points down, but the Tigers quickly put the result out of their reach. A 13 goal to two second half handed Seaford the win 20.15 (135) to 7.11 (53). Aaron Walton booted five majors.

Karingal performed well on the road as they took on Somerville on Saturday, with boom recruit Marc Holt again proving to be worth every penny.

The Bulls charged home to a 42 point win thanks to six goals from the rampaging Holt, who now has 29 goals from his five games.

Chelsea played host to Crib Point on Saturday, with the Magpies looking to improve after getting thrashed by Red Hill last week.

The Magpies were able to hit the scoreboard this week, but were still outclassed by the Seagulls. Crib Point performed better in the second half of the game.

Todd Gardiner kicked four goals in a best on ground performance, as Chelsea defeated Crib Point 13.14 (92) to 5.8 (38).

At Bunguyan Reserve, Langwarrin were able to run over the top of Tyabb.

The Yabbies were keeping touch in a tight fought contest, but the Kangaroos hopped away in the final term.

The final score read Tyabb 7.13 (55) to Langwarrin 14.17 (101).

Maizels joins Southern United SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie MELISSA Maizels made her debut for local NPLW outfit Southern United on Saturday.

The top-flight goalkeeper is the biggest signing in the club’s short history having played for Melbourne Victory and Perth Glory before recently completing her second stint with Canberra United in the 2018/19 W-League.

She turns 26 next month and offers both expertise and experience to one of the youngest playing groups in the elite competition.

At Canberra she played alongside Scotland captain Rachel Corsie and Matilda Ellie Carpenter.

Maizels was signed from local rival Bayside United late last week and given the exodus of players from Southern to Bayside in recent years this move is significant.

“I saw an opportunity to go to a club and be a part of something special,” Maizels said.

“Everyone knows that Southern needs a revamp, they need a spark, they need something to change not just to turn their season around but to make themselves a genuine competitor in the league in years to come.”

Maizels has a B coaching licence, is the technical director of Mount Martha junior club and co-owner of Absolute Soccer academy.

“When I decided to join Southern it was a decision not just for the rest of the season but a commitment for years to come.

“This is important to me not only as a player but as a coach and I want to play a part in rebuilding the club from the SAP program up so that Southern is a club that juniors want to come to.

“I’m prepared to assist and collaborate in any way I can to make sure we give this club every possible chance to become the NPLW club the peninsula so desperately needs.”

Southern lost 6-0 to third-placed Heidelberg on Saturday a far cry from the 12-0 hiding it received when the sides last met in March and Maizels enjoyed her debut.

“It was pretty cool to be out there with the girls.

“Obviously knowing what they’ve been going through I really admired their resilience and the fact that they stuck around and I feel like I made an impact.”

Earlier in the day Southern’s under12s continued their improvement under coach Olivia Groves with their first point of the season thanks to a 1-1 draw with Heidelberg United.

Amelia Hart scored for Southern.

Eddie Cerda’s under-14s kept climbing the league ladder with a 3-0 win with goals from Erica-Derrick Sarfo-Sarpong, Rhiannon Kelleher and Eden McKeown.

The under-16s under Deb Nichols and Emma Bracken won 5-2 with four goals from prolific scorer Rhys McKenna and a thumping drive from the right of the area by Ezel Duhar.

It’s the first time this year that the under-16s have recorded successive victories and this group is still eyeing a finals berth to match its outstanding record of the previous two seasons.

The under-19s lost 2-0 but coach Liam Drury was pleased with some aspects of his side’s performance.

“We showed a lot of fight and mental strength which was a huge improvement on some recent efforts,” Drury said.

“It’s the best game we’ve had defensively but we have to keep improving and this has to show on the pitch and in the scoreline.”

In NPL2 Langwarrin lost 2-1 away to Moreland Zebras on Friday night.

Langy was 2-0 down after 33 minutes.

Thomas Barforosh punished Langy for giving the ball away scoring from close range in the 28th minute and teammate Nicholas Niagorian was left unmarked five minutes later and headed home from the edge of the six-yard box.

Liam Cannell’s reckless challenge on David Stirton earned the Zebras midfielder a second yellow in time added in the first half and three minutes into the second half substitute Damir Stoilovic made it 2-1 with a shot from the left of the area that Zebras keeper Jack West-Astuti got a hand to but couldn’t stop.

Jakob Williams broke into a oneon-one with Langy keeper Fraser Maclaren in the 62nd minute but shot wide and Niagorian got a second yellow in the 66th minute to reduce the home side to nine men.

John Kuol and Roddy Covarrubias had chances to level but couldn’t capitalise and Stirton was shown a second yellow in the 85th minute.

Langy had just one shot on target in the first half and improved that statistic to six shots on target by game’s end.

But it wasn’t enough.

In State 1 news Mornington recorded a 2-0 away win over Caulfield United Cobras last Saturday.

Kane Bentley headed in from a Sammy Orritt cross in the 31st minute and it took until the 92nd minute to ensure that the three points headed back to Dallas Brooks Park when substitute Amir Osmancevic broke into a one-on-one with Caulfield keeper Nathan Silver and slotted the ball home.

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers won 3-1 at home against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday.

John Prescott (2) and Grant Lane scored for Strikers who had midfielder Danny Brooks and a Doncaster opponent sent off late in the second half.

In State 3 news Mikey Turner scored the winner in Skye United’s 2-1 home win over Middle Park on Saturday.

Skye gaffer Phil McGuinness described the win as “ugly” and he was being kind.

Daniel Walsh was caught in possession in the 10th minute and the ball was played quickly to Middle Park striker Ollie Davis who was given all the time in the world to pick his spot

then craft a superbly struck curling shot out of the reach of Skye keeper Jonathan Crook and inside the far post to make it 1-0.

Skye equalised in the 23rd minute when the linesman failed to flag for offside as Jason Nowakowski broke on the right.

His low cross into the box was met by Middle Park central defender Jamie Caldwell who slid down and guided the ball into the back of his own net.

The winner came in the 78th minute and was well constructed.

Substitute Aaryn Rix and Nowakowksi played a one-two on the right and Rix’s low cross was met by the incoming Turner who could hardly miss from point-blank range.

Frankston Pines came away from Dendy Park with a 1-1 draw against host Brighton last weekend.

Pines opened the scoring in the 32nd minute when Jason Bradbury volleyed home from 10 metres after CJ Hodgson’s cross from the left.

Hodgson, Travis Ernsdoerfer and Nick Simmons all came close to putting Pines in the box seat but Brighton keeper Damien McDade was in sparkling form and a fine finish from John Gibney in the 70th minute levelled the scores.

Pines went into this clash without Lewis Potter, Serge Yanez, Stefan Soler and Connor McAndrew but they all are available for selection for Friday night’s assignment against promotion-chasing South Yarra.

It will be Soler’s last game before flying to London to start work as a paramedic.

In State 4 news a last-gasp winner from Mitch Lander gave Seaford

United a 1-0 away win over Noble FC Hurricanes while Baxter recorded its first win of the league season when it won 3-1 away to Endeavour United last weekend.

Seaford had enough chances to win comfortably but it took a goalmouth scramble in the 90th minute for Lander to make his mark.

Hurricanes keeper Filip Koninkowski was booked in the incident and when he continued to argue was shown the red card.

At Reema Reserve Endeavour United midfielder Matty Morgan headed his side into the lead in the 10th minute but three minutes later Tim Lee linked up with Lewis Gibson whose cross was slotted home by Baxter striker Nathan Yole to make it 1-1.

On the half-hour Baxter won a corner and Matt McDermott headed the ball back across goal where Yole headed home to make it 2-1.

Charlie Jones sealed Endeavour’s fate in the 62nd minute with a stunning first time strike after the ball broke to him following a corner.

In State 5 news Somerville maintained its pursuit of league leader Old Mentonians when it defeated Tullamarine 5-1 at Tyabb Central Reserve last weekend.

Eagles ace Dave Greening notched a hat-trick with Mark Pagliarulo and Ben Meiklem also getting on the scoresheet.

Meiklem turned in a man-of-thematch display adding to his goal with three assists.

Rosebud lost 4-2 away to Endeavour Hills Fire with both Rosebud goals coming from Chris Parry while Aspendale Stingrays lost 3-0 away to White Star Dandenong.

Fleet footed Frankston sprinter takes out Stawell Gift FRANKSTON sprinter Alexia Loizou has claimed victory at this year’s Stawell Gift, taking out the top prize in the women’s division.

Ms Loizou said it was “a dream come true” to win the race. She defeated close friend Fia Fighera to win.

“I am overwhelmed to win the Stawell Gift, it’s incredible, a dream come true,” she said.

“Fia is so strong, I knew she would be right on my tail so I had to go as hard as I could.”

Twenty-one-year-old Loizou blitzed the 120 metre sprint, which took place on Monday 22 April at Central Park. She came in as a favourite having clocked the fastest time in the semi. She managed to smash that time and claim the win in the final by completing the race in just 13.58 seconds.

The prize for winning the women’s title is $40,000

Yargi Racing kick off operation at home track

By Ben Triandafillou THE newly formed Amy and Ash Yargi training partnership recorded their first victory, and winning double at their home track of Mornington on Easter Sunday, 21 April.

The husband and wife operation combined at the start of April and after a string of unlucky runs, it was their seventh runner that they saddled up, Danger In Devon, who broke through for their first memorable victory as a team.

Channing, a five-year-old gelding

by Magic Albert, was quick to back up the victory in the following race and landed the partnership with their first winning double on the same day.

It was even more memorable for the team with their two-and-a-half week old daughter, Gerogia May, attending the races for the first time.

“She came as our good luck charm,” co-trainer, and mother of two, Amy Yargi said.

“It was her first time going. The horses had been racing well but hadn’t been having much luck, so we bought Nana’s (May) lucky ring and Georgia May to the races and clearly it worked really well.”

Having “pulled out all the stops”, Amy said the team was “over the moon to get the double” at their home track.

The winners, Danger In Devon, was strapped by Matthew Rupe, while Jordyn Wetherly led her first winner

right with Sam Freedman stepping up and becoming a more significant role in his father, Anthony’s, business so the timing was perfect all round,” she said.

“Ash has been doing a great job recently, I’ve just given him a bit of free rein the last few weeks. I’ve been pre-occupied with Georgia, but we still discuss everything every day, and he’s been doing a super job and working really hard.”

Amy said their unique partnership has also been of benefit to their stable.

“I think what makes us unique is that we don’t agree on everything and we’re both trying to get the best out of the horses, and I come up with ideas that Ash doesn’t and vice-versa,” she said. “I think between the two of us we’re covering all bases and the horses are running well so it seems to be working what we’re doing so far.”

With their baby girl Georgia now in their lives, Amy has taken less of a “hands on role” with the horses at the stable but in regard to their operation, she will still be overseeing everything including nominations, updates, photos and other information required for owners.

Amy said it’s nice to get up early in the morning for a different reason nowadays.

“I’m used to being up at the early hours of the mornings and getting up and handling horses so having a cuddle with the baby is quite a nice change,” she said.

as a strapper with Channing saluting in race seven – it was her second time strapping a runner at the races.

For the formation of the training partnership, Amy said it was just the

right time for her husband Ash Yargi to part ways with Mornington-based Freedman Racing after 15 years with the team and commence their operation together.

“I’ve just given birth to our second child and it was becoming a little bit too hard for me to be doing it all by myself with two young kids and Ash working full time, so the timing was

Crib look to the future as young ones shine CRIB POINT FNC

THE U19’s began like a house on fire last week leading the Gulls by three goals at quarter time. This lead was held throughout the game and fortunately we were able to pull through with a close win. In trying conditions, scoring goals was a tough task and this was reflected in our accuracy on goal. Archie Shepherd hit his straps with a best on ground performance.

Other notable performances included Cooper Wisken, Will Jago & Harry Field.

The reserves this week found the going tough after facing a dominant Chelsea side. The first quarter provided ominous signs that the contest may be close fought throughout the

day but this soon shifted after an average second quarter from Crib Point. This saw the Gulls push out to a 47-point lead to round out the half.

After time to readjust we were able to stem the scoring somewhat but it wasn’t enough to close out a damaging Chelsea side. Kye Espenschied was tough over the ball all day, while Jack Rich provided a good outlet off the wing and half forward line.

A very fast starting Chelsea saw us end the first quarter six goals down in the seniors this week. However, rather than laying down, we were able to work our way back into the contest somewhat and find scoring opportunities. Even though this was the case the Gulls proved too strong for our young group. It was a big day

for a few of the players with Ethan Smith taking the reigns for the first time in the absence of captain Zak Dekleuver. Harry Waterfall earnt a call up into the senior side for his first game at the level and more than held his own. Among the days best were Jacob Cook and returning rising star Tom Panich.

In the netball our U/17s had a slow start, but their 2nd and 3rd quarters were much better. Defensive pressure all the way up the court improved throughout the game. Unfortunately, an injury left us short in the last quarter. BOC went to Hannah for her great positioning in front of her player.

D Grade was let down with poor passing and decision making against

a very physical Chelsea side. We only had 16 shots at goal for the game, and scored 11 goals. Well done to our goalers for their accurate shooting. BOC went to Beth Illot, who took multiple intercepts in Wing Defence.

C Grade had a great start to the match setting up a six goal lead at half time. The girls played a consistent game, used their patience and backed one another up. Chelsea fought back into the match and came level in the final quarter. The girls kept their heads and came away with the win by one point. BOC went to Ellyce Horobin who played a great game across centre court.

B Grade had a disappointing loss.

There were some patches of great play, but unfortunately not enough.

BOC went to Fiona White who worked her butt off all game.

A Grade were pumped and ready for a competitive game against a very skilled Chelsea side. The girls went hard from the first whistle and secured a comfortable lead. It was a great team effort with every single player contributing and doing their job for the team. Coaches award went to Kellie Davidson who brought speed and consistent defensive effort for her entire game. Special mention to Adrienne Harris for playing a strong game and being the deserving recipient of the ANZAC medal.

This week we’re back at home as our eyes turn towards Seaford. We’ll see you there.

Later he remarked that if a man liked to pay a bill without first rectifying the mistakes he should take the consequences.

Previous to this witness had given defendant a week’s notice to cease supplying as he was not satisfied with the quality of the milk.

There were about three days to go when defendant said he wanted to be paid 1d extra.

Witness told defendant to please himself. He (witness) refused to agree to pay the extra 1d.

Cross-examined by defendant, the witness denied that he had offered the extra 1d to induce defendant to continue supplying.

Corroborative evidence was tendered for the plaintiff.

Defendant deposed that complainant was continually finding a fault with the quality of the milk.

Mr Johnson, the Inspector, had inspected his place at Seaford and found nothing wrong.

Witness told complainant that he would not supply him with any more milk, and complainant had urged him to carry on for an extra week.

When complainant had spoken about an overpayment, witness asked him to send back the bill or a duplicate as a witness had rubbed his figures off the slate.

Cross-examined by MrI Utber the witness said he kept his accounts on a slate; he did not keep books.

The Bench gave a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the amount claimed, with 23s 6d costs. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 3 May 1919
