Govt support for gas plan Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au PORTS Minister Luke Donnellan has given the strongest indication yet that the state government is likely to approve AGL’s plan for a floating gas terminal at Crib Point.

“I support the proposal to bring gas in through the port of Hastings,” Mr Donnellan told state parliament on Wednesday 8 August.

Mr Donnellan said AGL’s proposal to import gas would “shake out the marketplace in Victoria”.

“As people know, there have been incredible increases in prices for gas across the board in this state, so we are very supportive of the AGL proposal. We are also very supportive of the employment that comes from that,” he said.

Mr Donnellan also gave assurances that the plan would “go through a

full environment effects statement process”.

His support for AGL’s proposal to turn liquefied natural gas back into gas before being piped to Pakenham came nine days before a protest against the plan outside the Fitzroy office of Planning Minister Richard Wynne.

Although AGL has said customers along the route of the pipeline will receive “discounts”, it is running an advertising campaign with the mes-

sage “No discounts. No tricks. Just low rates.”

It has given no explanation why those living near the pipeline will receive cut rates.

Candy Spender van Rood, a spokesperson for the Save Westernport group, said the protest at Mr Wynne’s office had been held to “to bring to [Mr Wynne’s] attention the growing opposition in Western Port to AGL’s gas import jetty proposal in Crib Point”.

“He seemed to know about the fact that Western Port is a [internationally recognised] Ramsar designated wetland, and therefore environmentally sensitive,” Ms van Rood said.

“When I asked him if he knew that nowhere else in the world was there a floating storage regasification (FSRU) unit within 1.2 kilometres of residences as well as so close to a bushfireprone area, he seemed to not be aware of that fact.

Road congestion a daunting ‘challenge’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MELBOURNE’S rapid population growth and the popularity of the Mornington Peninsula as its “playground” is putting obvious and unwelcome pressure on its road network – particularly the southern peninsula freeway which daily struggles to cope with traffic.

A report to last week’s Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting on alternative traffic plans – Southern Peninsula Freeway Reserve, sought leave to investigate other transport options and manage ways of implementing them.

The shire’s traffic and road safety strategist Doug Bradbrook said the investigation to ease congestion on the southern peninsula “ranks as one of the most important transport challenges the … shire faces”.

“With Melbourne’s population forecast to be eight million by 2050 and the Mornington Peninsula referred to as Melbourne’s playground, the pressures on the shire’s road network are going to significantly increase,” he said.

“The preliminary investigation of traffic planning for the southern peninsula was the council’s response to significant ongoing concerns raised by the community in relation to the increasing impacts of traffic congestion – especially during summer periods and long weekends.

“It also supports the recent council decision to recognise the importance of the Tootgarook wetlands. This deci-

“Nevertheless, the investigation has resulted in ideas for a range of short, medium and long term traffic congestion management options that would be alternatives to using the southern peninsula freeway reserve through the

ditions on the southern peninsula, Mr Bradbrook said.

“Due to the extensive developed residential areas west of Rye and the extent of the Tootgarook wetlands there are limited opportunities to develop potential options as alternatives to us-

Tootgarook wetlands.”

He said the range of potential options “become progressively more complex and costly, and with greater impacts, as the options become more substantive to resolve congestion in the longer term”.

The report follows a decision by council on 24 April to place the draft road improvement strategy on public exhibition for four weeks and to provide a preliminary report within 90 days on traffic movements on the southern peninsula as an alternative to the freeway reserve overlay between Boneo Road and Blairgowrie.

Mr Bradbrook said to progress beyond the initial investigation of alternatives to using the southern peninsula freeway reserve the shire should seek community views and feedback on traffic management ideas and options.

It should also seek state government partnerships with Transport for Victoria and VicRoads, and develop an integrated transport plan to “provide strategic direction and a basis for guiding and evaluating longer-term options”.

He said there was a need for transport and economic modelling to further develop and ensure the viability of the options; for a comprehensive assessment of social and environmental impacts of options; and, for a conclusive environmental impact assessment of an arterial road corridor or freeway through the Tootgarook wetlands.

The shire has submitted a funding proposal to VicRoads and Transport for Victoria seeking consideration as part of the state’s prioritised transport infrastructure program.

Ulysses crew to rally at Mornington A MOTORCYCLE club claiming to be one of the largest social clubs in Australia is coming to Mornington early next year.

The Ulysses Club, for riders aged over 40, will hold its national rally at Mornington Racecourse, Monday 25 February to Sunday 3 March The seven-day rally is likely to attract 2000-2500 motorcycle enthusiasts from Australia and overseas. Members will be riding their motorcycles, scooters and trikes, and there will also be around 100-150 RVs for those members who will take the opportunity to have an extended travelling holiday.

The rally also means businesses will benefit as the Ulysses Club members will need accommodation, and are likely to frequent restaurants, supermarkets, wineries, art galleries and tourism sites.

The public can attend an open day and trade show, 10am-9pm, Thursday 28 February, at the racecourse with motorcycle manufacturers and their latest bikes and trade stalls. Entry is $15 adult, $5 for those under 16 and $35 a family of two adults, two children under 16 years.

The motorcycles will be on show during the grand parade through Mornington 9-10am, Saturday 2 March.

The club is hoping residents will line the route and wave as motorcyclists ride past.

Plans are yet to be finalised for the parade to finish at Mornington Park, where members of the public can join in the civic welcome ceremony and presentation of the Motorcycle Apprentice of the Year.

Cottage garden for spring opening OPEN Gardens Victoria will launch its spring season at Rick Eckersley’s Musk Cottage garden at Flinders.

“The four-hectare property has been a pet project of Rick Eckersley and the Eckersley Garden Architecture design team for the past 10 years,” the head of Open Gardens Victoria Liz Fazio said.

“The result is a garden that ignores the latest fashion trends, is tough and sustainable and feels uniquely Australian.”

Musk Cottage will be open over the weekend 1 and 2 September.

“It may be one of the last opportunities to see the garden as there are plans to sell the property,” Ms Fazio said.

“The palette of plants is not restricted to native or indigenous.

Instead, plants from around the world have been knitted together to create a rich textural landscape of imaginative plant combinations.

“Colours in bark and leaves as well as flowers meld the garden together.

Greys, olive greens, browns and brindles make up the base colours and give the garden its unmistakably Australian flavour.

“In early spring, there is a vibrant pop of colour where a mass planting of the forest lily (Veltheimia bracteata) emerges with pink torch-like flowers beside a curved path.”

Ms Fazio other highlights in the cottage’s garden included a grid of black-trunked ironbark eucalyptus under planted by wave-pruned Tuscany privet, and a boardwalk across wetlands.

“Winding paths dotted with unex-

pected garden art and sculpture make this a wonderful garden for strolling and exploring. There are generous lawns to relax and picnic on and numerous intimate spaces to sit and contemplate different garden views,” she said.

Coffee, refreshments, produce and plant sales will be available, with proceeds going to support Global Gardens of Peace – an Australian charity that aims to plan, design and deliver gardens to support vulnerable communities around the world.

Musk Cottage, 371 Musk Creek Road, Flinders, 10am-4.30pm Saturday 1 September and Sunday 2 September, adults $10 (children under-18 free), students $5.

Gas Import Jetty and Pipeline Project Drop-in information sessions At AGL we’re in the middle of planning a project that will source gas from domestic and international suppliers to supply customers in south-eastern Australia. With the existing Crib Point jetty having been identified as the preferred location for the project, a feasibility study is now underway.

If this project goes ahead, liquefied natural gas (LNG) will be delivered by ship from interstate and overseas to a ship known as a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), moored at the existing Crib Point jetty. The FSRU can store LNG and convert it back into gas as required by the market.

To deliver this gas into the domestic gas transmission network, the project also requires construction of a new underground pipeline between Crib Point and Pakenham that will pass through Hastings.

To help share information and hear your feedback, we’re hosting project information sessions at five different locations in September. At these informal sessions, members of the community can stop by and speak with the AGL team, plus representatives from our partners in this project – including: •

APA – Pipeline partner

•

Jacobs and CEE – Environmental advisors to AGL

•

MANAGEMENT

Victorian Racing Industry Fund towards the project. Racing Victoria is providing $962,500 towards the track upgrade and the Melbourne Racing Club $412,500.

Since 2014, the government has provided almost $1.84 million to support six infrastructure projects and five race day events at Mornington.

The racing industry in outer Melbourne generates more than $375 million a year for the Victorian economy and helps to sustain more than 3720 full-time equivalent jobs in the region.

MORNINGTON racecourse is about to get a $2.75 million all weather synthetic training track.

The synthetic track, to be completed by September, will replace the existing 12-year-old sand track and allow training all year on a more consistent training surface.

The existing track base and drainage will support the new synthetic track, which will be the same dimensions as the old sand track – 1730 metres in length and eight metres wide.

The club estimates it will save $15,000 a year on water.

The Melbourne Racing Club holds 18 race meetings and 40 jump outs each year at Mornington, with around 86 trainers and 440 horses using the track to train.

Racing Minister Martin Pakula said the government would give $1.38 million from the

Back to the start for skatepark plan Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au EIGHT years after the need for a skatepark was “identified” at Mt Martha, residents are again being asked to suggest a site.

Mornington Peninsula Shire in 2012 announced plans to spend $850,000 on a skatepark on the parade ground at the corner of Kilburn Grove and the Esplanade, next to Mt Martha Tennis Club.

That decision came four years after the need for a skatepark at Mt Martha was identified in the shire’s Skate and BMX Strategy 2008.

But the club proved the shire was skating on thin ice when it finally admitted the land earmarked for the skatepark was leased to the club (“Tennis club aces skatepark plan” The News 24/4/18).

The shire was unable to carry out its threat to revoke the lease, which expires in late 2022, or use planning laws to compulsory “recover” the land.

In April this year the shire admitted defeat, with infrastructure strategy and climate change executive manager Davey Smith saying it was “continuing to review its options in relation to the proposed skatepark in Mt Martha”.

Those options last week led to the shire saying it wants to hear from residents about where to put a skatepark in Mt Martha.

“Due to an existing lease at the Mt Martha parade ground, the project cannot proceed at the preferred site until the current lease term expires

at end of 2022,” a news release from the shire stated without mentioning the tennis club.

It said the parade ground had been seen as the most suitable site “due to its proximity to the town centre, ease of access and good passive surveillance”.

Tennis club president Ken Davis has suggested there is room for a skatepark on a council reserve at the corner of Nepean Highway and Craigie Road, Mt Martha.

He said the park was close to houses and near a bus stop.

In April, Cr Bev Colomb said while no formal decision had been made to abandon building the skatepark near the tennis club “there is a need to go back to see if there is somewhere else”. She expected officers to brief councillors on other options “in a couple of weeks’ time”.

“It was an unfortunate error that the land was re-leased to the tennis club and I was saddened that we couldn’t come to an agreement with the club”.

In what the shire terms a “first round consultation” running from Monday 27 August to 28 September, members of the public can attend a drop-in session at Mt Martha House 5pm-7pm Monday 27 August or send comments to mornpen.vic.gov.au/ haveyoursay. Surveys will also be available at the shire’s offices in Rosebud, Mornington, Hastings and Somerville. Comments can also be mailed to: Sport and Recreation Team, Mt Martha Skate Park, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Private Bag 1000, Rosebud 3939.

Standing for dignity with yoga and meditation SOMERS Yacht Club will host to downward dogs galore as the national Yoga4Dignity 2018 comes to town on Saturday 1 September.

“Every night, there are 48,000 homeless women in Australia. It is our goal to have the same number practising yoga together and raising funds for women in crisis,” event organiser Maz O’Connor said.

“It is all about enjoying a yoga class with likeminded women. Whether you’ve never done a downward dog or are an experienced Yogi, this is the perfect yoga event for you! And with each $20 participation fee going directly to helping homeless women and women in crisis. How’s that for good karma?”

The Somers event will involve two hours of yoga and meditation. Starting with meditation and pranayama (breath work) led by Jane McCann. Then Maz O'Connor will oversee yoga before Maggie Carr’s yin yoga.

Caroline Hales will close the day with a women’s circle (men welcome).

Tickets are $20 and those attending are asked to take along a little gift of sanitary items (such as tampons, menstral cups, incontinence pads).

Boats hit markers FOR the third time this year a boat has run at high speed into a fixed channel marker in Western Port.

No one was injured in the latest incident.

Parks Victoria has temporarily replaced the damaged channel markers with floating buoys until a pile driving rig is available.

Boaties are being urged to take care, avoid distractions such as phones, and be observant when operating any vessel just as they would when driving a car.

Choir ‘blooms’ like its colouful emblem MORNINGTON Peninsula Welsh Ladies Choir president Helen Selby compares the group’s progress to its symbol, “a brilliant daffodil and our daffodil is blooming”.

“We were formed just 11 weeks ago under the direction of the amazing choral conductor Tom Buchanan,” Ms Selby said.

“We already have 35 choristers and [recently] performed our first concert with none other than the Australian Welsh Male Choir.

“We have another concert planned with that choir next month and, in November, are performing at the Melbourne Recital Centre.”

New choristers are invited to join this “happy and supportive group of women who love singing together”, Ms Selby said. “No Welsh-speaking skills are needed and no auditions are required. We would love to have a choir of 100.”

MIKE’S CARPET

FORMER Senior Constable Steele at last week’s awards ceremony.

Picture: Supplied

Award recalls night of terror A FORMER policeman was last week presented with the Victoria Police Star at the Police Academy. The award recognises police killed or seriously injured in the line of duty.

Senior Constable Peter Steele, of Rye, was on patrol with Sergeant Brian Stooke in CentreDandenong Road, Cheltenham, when they were shot by notorious gunman Pavel “Mad Max” Marinof, 12.15am, 9 June 1985.

Stooke was hit four times, with the bullets severing his spinal cord and leaving him a paraplegic; Steele was hit in the shoulder with the bullet passing through his armpit. The shot caused him to drop his gun and take cover.

Although injured he managed to radio for assistance and relay details of the incident and the gunman’s vehicle.

The extent of Senior Constable Steele’s wounds forced him to take 6-8 weeks to recover,

and the scars of that painful legacy were still evident last week.

In 1986 – well before the Victoria Police Star was introduced – he was awarded a Highly Commended certificate. Sergeant Stooke was awarded the Victoria Police Star in 2007.

Marinof also shot and wounded Sergeant Ray Kirkwood, who was with Senior Constable Graeme Sayce, Sergeant Garry Morell, of the Dog Squad, Detective Sergeant John Kapentanovski and Senior Detective Rod McDonald.

“It is important that Victoria Police have an award which honours these people and reminds society about the challenges they face every day,” Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation peninsula branch president Darryl Nation, who was at the awards ceremony, said.

Police were called to the incident by the brother of the Mornington woman who reported her missing at the site, 9.30pm, Tuesday 14 August.

Sergeant Dennis Ramsay, of Mornington police, said officers rushed to the scene and spotted the woman’s car parked on The Esplanade. They were forced to slide half-way down the rocky cliff face to find the woman, 37, before “making her safe and secure”.

CFA crews from Mt Martha CFA were able to

arrive within minutes after attending a meeting at the station. Other crews from Dromana, Mornington, Hallam, Rowville and the Frankston and Dandenong high angle rescue team were onscene soon after. They used ropes, harnesses and pulleys in the three-and-a-half-hour operation.

Gusting winds prevented the police helicopter from assisting.

The incident controller, Lieutenant Brandon Crowder, of Mt Martha CFA, praised police for their “heroic” efforts.

“The police did well in taking care of the woman’s wellbeing as best they could and in keeping her safe in the traumatic incident,” he said.

Safe housing for youth a ‘priority’ PROVIDING crisis accommodation to young people unable to live at home in Rosebud and Frankston has been identified as a priority by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

A campaign launched last week calls on the state government to provide two new crisis accommodation homes on the southern peninsula.

The shire recently brought together industry experts in its campaign to advocate for safer access to emergency housing “where it’s needed most”.

The resulting Youth2 campaign, in which the shire works with young people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness, has come about through a partnership with community organisations and service providers across the peninsula and Frankston.

The Youth2 team was identified and connected through a youth advisory group which includes representatives from Headspace/YSAS, Mission Australia, Salvo Care Eastern, Brotherhood of St Laurence, Fusion, White Lion, as well as the shire and Frankston Council.

Australian Bureau of Statistics figures for 2011-16 show a 17.4 per cent increase in people experiencing homelessness in Frankston and a 9.6 per cent increase on the peninsula.

in the figures, with 26 per cent of those experiencing homelessness aged 25 or younger. This means 220 young people are homeless at any given time in Frankston and on the peninsula.

At the Youth2 campaign launch on Monday 23 July members committed to identifying and advocating for service development projects and infrastructure to help improve housing security and reduce homelessness.

The group says young people should have access to safe, local and affordable housing and wants the state government to provide two new crisis accommodation homes on the southern peninsula.

“We’re uniting these groups and getting serious about ensuring our youth feel valued, supported and safe on the peninsula and in neighbouring areas,” the mayor Cr Bryan Payne said.

“Frankston and Rosebud are wellconnected hubs with existing youth support services. The new crisis accommodation centres would mean young people would not have to leave their local area in times of need.”

MORNINGTON Peninsula-based SugaTree (Yanni Dellaportas, Natalie Parker and Ryan Pentland is one of the bands playing at Saturday’s Live for Lombok event in Rye.

Playing to help in wake of earthquake MUSICIANS are playing for a cause this Saturday at Rye’s Baha restaurant, raising money for families struggling on the earthquake-hit Indonesian island of Lombok.

More than 430 people died in the 6.9-magnitude earthquake on 5 August.

It followed one week after another earthquake left 17 dead on the island.

While thousands of tourists were able to leave Lombok more than 350,000 residents remain displaced.

The economic cost has been estimated at $342 million, with thousands of buildings collapsed and infrastructure badly damaged.

The Live for Lombok event at Baha has been organised by expatriate Indonesians and other members of the Rye community.

“We might not be able to help everyone over there, but we can show them love and support and that we care, with live music and performances from local bands,” organiser Kelana Dani said.

Performing on the night will be Brotherhood, Pie in the Sky, SugaTree, Unholly Rolla, Matty Jones, Eddie Wearne and Christian Rose from Alpine Valentine.

"It's great to be able to give back where we can and this is a small way

in which we can help raise some much needed funds for the Lombok earthquake victims,” Natalie Parker of Suga Tree said. “According to Red Cross 20,000 people are still in need of medical help. We are so lucky in Australia - for so many reasons - and SugaTree are just happy to be part of doing some good for others, especially those in need.”

Baha owner Nathan O’Brien said he will donate 20 per cent of bar profits to the cause.

Baha is a Mexican restaurant at 2203 Point Nepean Road, Rye. The music begins at 7.30pm Saturday, adults $15, children $5.

Parties ‘united’ over waste of rail money The “united” intentions of the Liberal and Labor parties to electrify the Stony Point Line to Baxter is a ridiculous waste of money.

Not only is it unnecessary, but it will also be a massive eyesore with minimal gains.

In this era where the healthy functioning of our planet is actually under threat, we need to pursue sustainable goals.

If this money is available it should be used for more beneficial purposes.

One alternative would be to promote and support sustainable energy by installing solar panels on all school roofs in Frankston and the [federal] Dunkley electorate. Another alternative could be to increase biodiversity, a cornerstone to the healthy functioning of our environment, by purchasing areas specifically to enhance indigenous flora and fauna.

It could even be used to end logging of old growth forests and finding alternative employment for those affected by this.

Henry Kelsall, independent candidate for the state seat of Frankston

No majority support Like Cliff Ellen (“Haunted by jet ski” Letters 14/8/18) I was gobsmacked by [Mornington Peninsula Shire infrastructure manager] Christopher Lyne’s claim that expansion of the jet ski/ boat ramp “had received majority support”.

Let’s deal with facts and data: 1. The in-principle (not endorsed) plan was not based on fact. There was never majority Rye community support for the jet ski/boat ramp expansion 2. The so-called award-winning application was based on a lie regarding community support, as was the boating facilities application that

received funding.

3. Rye will be a regional jet ski/boating facility is also incorrect as at this stage it is a recommendation only. Community agreement is an essential criterion. It was council without consultation that put Rye forward to the coastal board.

4. At VCAT council made no mention of the Rye community but talked at length about its obligation to provide jet ski/boating facilities to tourists.

5. Council claims the type of watercraft (jet skis) launching from Rye is not their responsibility as it just provides access.

6. The recent jet ski paper presented to council made no mention of Rye. 7. Council now says it will act as an advocate, but there are no details as to the how and who is going to act as an advocate.

8. Council and the state government has yet to address Rye’s issues around the numbers of jet skis and the unbearable noise that we hear from the bay to the back beach, or with the environmental impact.

It should not be this hard for a community to be listened to.

Mechelle Cheers, Rye

Switch suppliers How does the Victorian population feel about the super profits [power company] AGL just announced? I for one count myself lucky, as I’m not a customer of theirs and get a very favourable energy deal from another retailer.

In the light of AGL’s attempts to have a floating gas import terminal at Crib Point with a pipeline to Pakenham - which I see as having the potential to damage Western Port and our food bowl - would urge AGL customers to think very hard if this corporation deserves their custom.

AGL thinks it’s still not making enough money out of us, it now entertains to sell us our own gas exported from somewhere else in Australia back at a decent profit. Charming really, Isn’t it?

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Trial free tip I was driving along the Bunurong Track [Arthurs Seat] the other night and came to the realisation that there must be a lot of dyslexia sufferers on the southern Mornington Peninsula because, although there are signs stating that the dumping of rubbish is not permitted, there it was, green and hard waste dotted along the track.

I even saw a young cyclist emerging from the bushes with a car tyre that somebody had tossed in. To that young cyclist I say thank you for caring enough about our environment and god knows what else you may have retrieved after I had driven past.

All sorts of waste is being dumped daily throughout the peninsula and although it gets picked up eventually, it shouldn’t happen.

As president of the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers and Residents Association, I would like to request that Mornington Peninsula Shire trial a free month of dumping of hard and green waste at the municipal tip.

If the random dumping of the rubbish decreases, then adopt a no tip fees as policy. If it doesn’t, then revert back to tip charges.

What have we got to gain? A cleaner environment and cleaner peninsula. What have we got to loose? The continual eyesore of the random dumping of rubbish along our roadways.

John Cain, president, Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers and Residents Association

Litter vandals It’s a sad thing when “concerned” individuals with strong views assume that they are in the right and that everyone should be brought to their point of view. A point of view riddled with wild speculation and light on facts.

And defining those who remove “posters” as vandals is the ultimate in hypocrisy (“Poster vandals” Letters 7/8/18).

It is those who litter our environment and deface road signs who are the real vandals.

Rod Bennett, Hastings

Don’t blame animals At long last we know the reason for global warming thanks to Desmond Bellamy (“Animallinked drought” Letters 14/8/18). How silly of our farmers to keep livestock thus causing all this trouble? Really, is Mr Bellamy serious?

There are three main reasons for global warming and they are: the use of fossil fuels and petrol; the destruction of the rain forests; and, population explosion.

I don’t know where he gets the idea that animals and farmers are to blame.

He should try pulling his head out of the sand and be sensible. Malcolm Boughey, Mornington

Going vegan Vegan signs are everywhere. At the bottom of every restaurant menu, on packages of food in the shops, even in the grog shops. What’s going on?

A recent Roy Morgan poll found that almost 2.1 million Australians now choose to eat meatfree and, according to data from Google Trends, “vegan” is one of the most popular searches.

And it’s not just food: vegan labels are appearing on everything from fashion and beauty to cleaning products. High-profile celebs such as Liam Hemsworth and Natalie Portman regularly comment on their vegan choices.

What is behind this swelling interest in plant-based products? Primarily, concern for the hundreds of billions of animals who endure agonising suffering and terrifying deaths every year just so humans can eat their flesh. But plenty of vegans also know that it is far better for our health, as well as reducing our carbon footprint by around 73 per cent.

The question really should be: if you could cut your contribution to climate change, reduce your risk of obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and some cancers, and save around 200 animals every year from agonising deaths, why wouldn’t you?

One-time Group 1 leader over finish line in Spain OBITUARY

Nick Columb, 1946-2018 Journalist, racehorse owner, football club president

By Peter McCullough SPORTING identity Nick Columb died on Friday 10 August while holidaying in Spain. He was 72.

For many Mornington residents he will be remembered as the former owner of Morning Star Farm (originally ‘Sunnyside') just off Nepean Highway between Mornington and Mt Eliza.

Built for the Gillett family in 1867, the property lay vacant for some years after the departure of the Franciscans who had converted it into

a “training farm for boys”. On 4 November, 1986 The Age reported the change of ownership: "Nick Columb, 41, former journalist, now racehorse owner and winner of numerous races, including last year's Caulfield Cup with his mare, Tristarc, lives with (his family) on their brood mare stud farm, Morning Star Farm. The house, which was dilapidated when they bought it in 1981, has been extensively renovated … After a spectacular run of failures he is now home and hosed." Within a year or two of that report the Columb family had moved on.

Although he may have experienced a setback or two, Nick Columb managed to capture the attention of journalists at regular intervals.

In 2003 he was managing singer Peter Brocklehurst. In 2006 a newspaper reported that Columb agreed to "...generously accept the role

of defining the path forward..." for the Thoroughbred Racehorse Owners' Association which had just dismissed its executive and members.

Columb was described as a "long term friend and life member”.

He was chairman of the association for close to 20 years.

In 2008, Nick Columb ran unsuccessfully for the position of Melbourne’s Lord Mayor against Robert Doyle. Two years later he was axed from his regular Sport 927 segment, describing it as “censorship” following his on-air comments about talks between TVN and Queensland racing.

In 2013, The South China Morning Post reported Columb filling a role created by the Hong Kong Jockey Club to "guide and assist mainland owners”. Apparently he was still a "respected

bloodstock consultant" to the Jockey Club and living in Asia at the time of his death.

Whenever Columb's name has appeared in the newspapers it has invariably been accompanied by the word “colourful”. While at times controversial, he has also been described as "the most successful Group 1 winning horse owner of the 1980s", with two Caulfield Cups, two Golden Slippers, two Oaks and a Derby to his credit.

Although his relationship with Caulfield trainer Ross McDonald was sometimes volatile, together they won 22 Group 1 races.

Less successful was his venture into the management of Australian rules football: in 1989 he was president of Footscray Football Club and favoured the then-proposed merger with Fitzroy.

The off-field controversy was something that Bulldog fans have never forgotten.

A brake in time to miss falling pine KITTY Wood almost didn’t make it home to Somers last week after a large pine tree came crashing down just metres from her car’s front bumper.

The alert woman, in her 80s, thanks her lucky stars that she saw the mature tree moving ominously in strong winds in Coolart Road, south of Hodgins Road, and braked hard while watching it fall heavily across the road.

“It was beginning to come down when I saw it,” Ms Wood said, recounting the shock she felt when it landed a mere car’s length in front of her – and possible injury or worse.

“Images flashed through my mind of the poor fellow crushed in his car by a tree in the country the other day,” she said.

“The woman in the car behind me pulled up and said she couldn’t believe how lucky I was. She said I should take a Tatts ticket.

“I think I’ve used up all my luck.”

Strong winds played havoc with trees on the Mornington Peninsula last week, with gusts up to 100kph causing many to fall and keeping SES crews busy.

Ms Wood said she turned around and drove back to Hodgins Road for phone reception and called police to warn of the danger.

Cars were still driving down Coolart Road and being forced to turn around when they came to the fallen tree.

“I don’t like these pine trees,” Ms Wood said. “There’s a whole lot of them as you come out of Somers.

They keep coming down across roads and there’s nowhere to go when they do.”

Protest goes to town: Protesters against AGL’s plan for a floating gas conversion terminal at Crib Point outside the Fitzroy office of Planning Minister Richard Wynne. Picture: Candy van Rood

AGL backed by state ministers Continued from Page 1 Ms van Rood said Mr Wynne had also given assurances that “a full EES will be implemented when AGL presents its submission for the FSRU in Crib Point”.

Mr Donnellan’s comments in parliament followed questions by Ellen Sandell, Greens MP for Melbourne, about “why public money is being used by the Port of Hastings Development Authority to prepare land and infrastructure to support the AGL monster gas ship at Crib Point before it has even been granted planning approval”.

“This project, frankly, is a disaster. AGL are trying to rush through an enormous, permanent floating

regard for our climate.”

Ms Sandell said an EES “needs to be incredibly rigorous”.

“However, the community does not have a lot of faith in this government because they seem to be bending over backwards to help AGL and support the project.”

Ms Sandell said he Greens “have a plan to move the state beyond gas, and it is really about time the other parties saw the threat of climate change and jumped on board”.

Liberal MP for Mornington Neale Burgess and his federal colleague, MP for Flinders Greg Hunt, have both said they are opposed to the FSRU at Crib Point.

gas ship at Crib Point in Western Port bay,” Ms Sandell said.

“The bay would see a constant stream of heavy ships coming in to feed this new monster ship with imported gas.

“AGL want to pump huge quantities of heated and chlorinated water into Western Port bay, threatening internationally significant Ramsar wetlands and threatened species, and they want to trash valuable farming land by building a new and totally unnecessary pipeline.

“AGL are simply looking to make a quick buck with no regard for the community, no regard for the environment and certainly no

FOR the past two years team members at Fusion Mornington Peninsula has dreamed of a social enterprise thrift shop and cafe to assist their work among young people on the Mornington Peninsula.

The Christian youth and community organisation, based in the former army barracks at Mt Martha, has been providing housing, youth programs and community support since the 1960s.

Programs seek to connect young people aged 15-21 to networks in the community and engage them with a wider sense of belonging and achievement. By providing early interventions to youths within its program, it seeks to tackle issues that cause long-term homelessness.

Fusion‘s Stephanie Byrne said the thrift shop would provide an ongoing income stream for their work and serve as a community hub for trainees, volunteers and visitors. It would be an extension of their mission: Strengthening young people through a community based response: accommodating, educating, supporting and sharing life.

“The shop would be a convenient space for people of all ages, with values of community wellbeing placed alongside profitability,” she said. “Donated goods would be renovated, repurposed and sold. Young and old will work alongside one another, helping vulnerable young people develop employability skills and healthy connections to the local community.”

Community groups will be invited to use the cafe/meeting space for classes and gettogethers.

The dream could come true through the state government’s Pick My Project community grants initiative. Fusion is asking peninsula residents aged over 16 to vote for the Pick My Project community grants initiative to help it secure the necessary $110,000 funding.

WHAT’S NEW...

Blokes on the Balcony Experience!

SKILLFULLY depicting a full-throttle mash-up of extreme physical risk-taking, graceful movement and slow-mo fight sequences, Cockfight is a darkly humorous and surprisingly tender piece of dance theatre by newly formed Gold Coast/ Berlin company The Farm that sees long-time creative collaborators Joshua Thomson and Gavin Webber reassess who is in charge.

A cross between The Office and a cage fight, Cockfight is a game of comical one-upmanship that builds to moments of emotive impact, where generational truths are exposed and unpacked. A flash of bared teeth, territorial pissing contests, the desperation of needing to prove

yourself versus the need to hold on to what you’ve got. Cockfight explores the power play between men, the frailty of the ageing body and questions our culture’s desperate struggle for achievement.

Cockfight is on Tuesday 4 September, 8pm and for a limited time only, you can avail the special Blokes on the Balcony offer which includes not only the performance ticket but a beer and a snag on FAC’s Balcony before the show from 6.30pm.

Tickets: $27-$50 | Bookings: 9784 1060 or thefac.com.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Hastings thrash Frankston in football match Compiled by Brodie Cowburn A FOOTBALL match between Frankston and Hastings was played at Hastings on Saturday. Frankston, as is usual when they have to travel, could only muster a very poor team and were defeated easily, the final scores being Hastings 12 goals 20 bhds, Frankston 4 bhds. Mr Sposito umpired impartially.

At half time the Hastings ladies provided a splendid afternoon tea which was greatly appreciated. Today Frankston will try conclusions with a team from the Langwarrin camp, at Frankston.

MESSRS Brody and Mason will conduct a clearing sale of household furnishings at “Elmavere”, Melbourne Road Frankston on Saturday next, August 31, on account of Mr B. Dawborn.

Full particulars are advertised. *** ANOTHER planting of trees in the Frankston Avenue of Honor will take place today, (Saturday), when about 70 trees will be planted. Senator G. F. Pearce. Minister for Defence will be present, and the Langwarrin band will also be in attendance.

Proceedings will commence at 3pm. *** THE following additional donations towards the cost of planting the Frankston Avenue of Honor have been received :—Mr P. Wheeler; 10s; Mrs Plowman. £1; Mrs Gould, 10s; Mr W. Dickensen, 10s; Mr M. Clements; 10s 6d; Mr D. Kennedy. £1 1s; Mr H. Heath, 10s; Davey’s Bay Yacht Club, £4; Mrs Selleck, 10s; Mrs Baxter, £1; Mr. W. Cone, £1; Mr Ward, 10s; Mr A M’Ilroy, 10s; Mr H. Gamble, £1; Miss Gullett, 10s; Miss O’Grady, £1 10s; Mr Willox 10s; Miss Cadle, 10s; Mrs

Bray, 10s; Dr Atkinson Wood, £5 5; Mr A 10s. *** THE Aussie Girls. One of the prettiest entertainments ever given in Somerville was the Aussie Girl’s concert on August 7th.

Brightness and novelty were the watchwords of this clever little company, and they certainly succeeded in pleasing the crowded audience which assembled in the Mechanics’ Hall.

The concert was in aid of the Somerville branch of the Lady Mayoress’ League. Almost every item was encored. Though every one was good, three items may be picked out as the best - “Millie the Milliner”. Jack Couldn’t and chorus, with Miss Eileen Unthank as Jack and the rest of the girls as milliners, with huge handboxes, very smart and dainty. The dressing, grouping and staging of this number was excellent.

Chinese Ballet, “Chin Chu Chow” by Miss Ruth Murray and chorus would have done credit to a much larger place than Somerville. It was very picturesque, the oriental dresses, lighted Chinese lanterns and darkened stage added greatly to the novel effect. The singing, acting and grouping was splendid.

Quite another style of thing was “Joan of Arc” by Miss Flo. Unthank and chorus, and it was equally successful.

The dressing and staging were quite in keeping with the French patriotic idea. Miss Ruth Murray as “Juan” looked very handsome and stately, while Miss Unthank and her chorus, Misses Grant (3), Unthank (2), Mary Meldrum and Emily Murray carried out their parts well.

Altogether the Aussie Girls are to be congratulated on their achievement.

More than a word of praise must be given to the decoration and arranging of the stake. In this work the girls were ably assisted by Messrs A. Meldrum, Overton and others. The lighting and, limelight effects were in the capable hands of Mr A. Meldrum who worked hard.

The Tyabb Comedy Company were very successful in their comedy “Popping the Question.” Each and every one acted well. Misses Woodhouse, Longmuir, V. Cole and F. Unthank (who kindly took her part at short notice,) and Messrs Grant and P. Mair carried the amusing piece through with great success.

All the dresses and stage accessories, or most of them, were made by the girls themselves. Mrs H. Grant played all the accompaniments in her usual faultless manner. A dance was given afterwards at which Miss Flo Unthank supplied most of the music and Mr A. Meldrum acted as M.C. A splendid supper was provided by a group of generous ladies The sum of over £16 was realised as the result of the hard work of the Aussie Girls’ and their friends. *** Playing a Nation’s Part. Australia is calling on its people to supply £40,000,000 to help the Commonwealth to continue its share in the war.

On six previous occasions a similar demand has been made, and each time Australia has given more than what has been asked.

On this the seventh occasion, it is more important than ever that the people should demonstrate that they stand firmly behind the Ministry in

its determination to help the Allies to prosecute the world struggle to a victorious end.

To Australia the cost of the war is about £80,000,000 per year, and towards that cost those who have assisted in the raising of war loans have contributed to date £140,000,000.

The past which Australia has to bear in the war may seem gigantic, but in order to realise that what we in this war have done is a very small thing compared to the wonderful efforts put forward by the other Allies it is only necessary to glance at the war burden, which England is daily bearing.

While Australia spends £80,000,000 a year as her share of the war burden, Great Britain is spending no less than £25,000,000 a week, or £1,800,000,000 per year.

What Australia has done pales, into insiginficance beside these stupendous figures. Of course it has to be recognised that the population of Great Britain is many times in excess of that of Australia, but it also has to be recognised that the people of Great Britain for some time past have been bearing not only their own share of the financial burden but a share of the burden of some of the Allies and also a shale of Australia’s financial burden. Australia alone had borrowed £47,000,000 from the British Government for war purposes, while on June 30th last it owed to the lmperial Government no less than £38,000,000 for the maintenance of Australian troops overseas and for the supply to them of munitions.

With the raising of the Sixth War Loan, Australia, for the first time put herself in the position of meeting the full obligation cast upon her by the

war. The magnificent response to that appeal was Australia’s answer to the clarion cry which ran through the British Empire - the cry of the Mother country to all her dominions to gather round and help to their utmost to bring the struggle to a victorious end. It was a response that voiced Australia’s determination to bear her own burden, to show to the world that although she was a nation hardly yet emerged from the swaddling clothes which her Empire Mother had given her, she was still strong enough to play a nation’s part when the call came.

But Australia has not yet accomplished all that is demanded of her; the fight is not yet won. True it is that ultimate victory peeping o’er the horizon, out before the sun of the Allied triumph has fully risen many weary months, perhaps years, of struggle must elapse.

In the struggle to come Australia must bear its part, even as it has borne it in the past.

The part is as much a part of money as it is of men. Men fight and so does money, and to-day to all sections and all creeds the appeal is being made to provide that money which will help the Commonwealth to take its share in that ultimate victory which has to be gained.

In asking for this money Australia is not seeking a favor of its people. It is asking them to do that, which, placed on the lowest possible plane, means the conservation of their own safety, their own well being, and their own country.

It is the imperative duty of every Australian to assist. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 24 August 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Everything You Want to Know About Space Force (But Were Afraid to Ask)

By Stuart McCullough IT was inevitable, really: that President Donald J Trump should decide to take his unique brand of diplomacy to the far reaches of outer space where – arguably – it always belonged. And that it should be packing heat. I’m not sure who in the White House should be responsible for telling the Leader of the Free World that Star Wars was not, in fact, a documentary but a work of fiction, but it’s time to break the bad news before this thing truly gets out of hand.

There’s always the chance that the whole shemozzle is the result of a colossal misunderstanding. When President Trump is briefed about ‘illegal alien arrivals’, care should be taken to ensure he understands that these are mostly from Mexico and not, as he may otherwise think, from the Planet Nebulon. We can (quite literally) count our lucky stars that this didn’t happen earlier. It would have terrible for all of us if Space Force had had intercepted a certain refugee from the Planet Krypton.

It’s possible that Space Force is part of an unconventional recruitment drive. Now that candidates to work at the White House have officially been exhausted here on Planet Earth, it’s time to go intergalactic. Spock would make a great Chief of Staff. Stoic, reserved and incapable of expressing human emotion, Spock is an obvious successor to General John Kelly.

It’s a little known fact that Captain James T. Kirk was a total lunatic before Spock came along. He’ll calm everything down, quick sticks and the Vulcan Nerve Pinch will more than come in handy. In fact, I predict that such will be the Vulcan influence on the Trump Administration; it’ll only

PAGE 30

Western Port News

be a matter of time before the currency replaces ‘In God We Trust’ with the far snappier, ‘Live long and prosper’.

The job of Space Force is to take total, armed control of the Universe.

Frankly, I can see an upside. Having a branch of the armed forces controlling the galaxies means one thing: inter-planetary colonization. As vulgar as that may sound to you and I, it provides a fabulous opportunity to up sticks and move to another planet if the thought of hanging around to see what happens at the midterms proves too overwhelming a thought. Personally, I’m quite drawn to living on Saturn.

It has that ‘ring of confidence’ and, I

21 August 2018

understand, good schools and close to public transport.

Then again, there’s always the risk of an ulterior motive. What if the President is seeking to take armed control of the Galaxy for that most traditional of reasons: real estate. It’s a fact that Neil Armstrong travelled to the moon to play golf. It’s not too hard to imagine the old Trumpster has been mulling over this for some decades and has long harbored the idea of building a full eighteen-hole golf course on the lunar surface. Rather than the Mar-a-Lago, it’d be the Moon-a-Lago.

Although you couldn’t really call them ‘greens’. Probably ‘greys’. Four!

Once ‘Space Force’ is up and running, America can finally ditch ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ in favour of the kind of truly awesome national anthem they deserve. The Theme from ‘Star Wars’ would be a vast improvement.

For starters, there are no words, which eliminates the risk that Roseanne Barr will ever attempt to sing it at a baseball match almost entirely. Imagine the Olympics - the American relay team standing astride the podium as the opening notes of the Theme from Star Wars blares from the speakers. It’d be a moment that was beyond patriotic.

Granted, this whole thing could be about revenge. Truth be told, the Presi-

dent has long hated the book, ‘Men are from Mars, Women Are From Venus’, ever since his first wife Ivana made him read it as part of couples counselling, and he’s finally decided to do something about it. All that baloney about different communication styles and varied emotional needs – a total and complete hoax. I felt much the same way about ‘The Bridges of Madison County’ although, in my case, I managed to restrain myself from responding militarily.

There’s always the possibility that this is an elaborate ploy to facilitate a meeting with Han Solo. Han has the kind of can-do attitude they like on Planet Trump and, much like the Donald, runs his own (albeit slightly dodgy) business. Han Solo always knows what to say and would be totally awesome on Twitter. Plus, the Millennium Falcon is a lot cooler than Air Force One. I just hope he doesn’t go overboard. After all, the Donald has a terrible habit of naming things after himself. Although his motives could be pure – perhaps he’s planning to go into exile on another planet in a bid to avoid Robert Mueller.

Who knows where this thing will end up? Whether Space Force will join Clive Palmer’s plan to build ‘Titanic II’ in the graveyard of dopey ideas, only time will tell. My only fear is that this may be the first, albeit inevitable step, towards the President becoming an intergalactic overlord. ‘Darth Trumper’ has a certain ring to it. Then again, so does ‘Jabba the Trump’ and there’s a greater physical resemblance.

I shudder to think. And if all this seems too much, just remember – at least in space, no one can hear you scream. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Elimination final for Edi-Asp DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn EDITHVALE ASPENDALE will be forced to play in an elimination final this weekend, after their loss to Sorrento in the final round of the season saw them drop down to fourth place.

Both sides traded blows in a tight first half, with just four points separating the two sides at the main break.

Things remained close in the third term, and with scores level going into the final quarter the game looked set to go down to the wire.

In tough conditions, the Sharks kicked ahead and held on to claim a hard fought victory at Regents Park, with the final score reading 9.9 (57) to 9.13 (67).

Michael Meehan performed valiantly for Edi-Asp with three goals, while Daniel Grant was at his silky best for Sorrento playing off half back.

The win saw Sorrento finish on top of the ladder and earn a first week bye for finals.

The result is a devastating one for the Eagles, who had been in second place since 24 June before slipping down to third last weekend. They will now have to play off against Frankston YCW in a do or die clash at Chelsea Reserve on Saturday afternoon.

Their place in third spot has been taken by Pines, who had their incredible form rewarded with a second chance in finals. They overtook the Eagles by beating Bonbeach at Eric Bell Reserve.

Shark bite: The Eagles got their wings clipped when a loss to Sorrento cost them their double chance in finals.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

Bonbeach kept touch with Pines early, but after quarter time the game became a one sided affair.

Pines piled on the goals to open up a big lead over Bonbeach, with Aaron

Edwards contributing seven majors to the scoreboard. Edwards’ haul saw him finish on top of the goal kicking leaderboard for the year, with a total of 59.

The final siren sounded with Pines well and truly ahead 17.12 (114) to 8.7 (55).

Pines will go on to play Mt Eliza in the Qualifying Final at Alexandra Park on Sunday afternoon.

Mt Eliza will not enter finals with the momentum boosting win they may have been hoping for, after they played out a gruelling draw against Frankston YCW. The Stonecats looked the better side in the first half, and led by 16 points at the half time break. Mt Eliza went on to chip back the lead, but still trailed by a couple of goals heading into the final term.

The Redlegs held their opponents to just one goal in the last quarter, and were able to fight back to bring scores level. They fought back admirably, but ultimately were made to share the points with the Stonecats as the siren sounded with both sides on level terms. The final score read 7.8 (50) to 7.8 (50).

Both sides worked hard and will be feeling bruised heading into their finals clashes this weekend.

Around the grounds, Frankston Bombers took on Rosebud in a dead rubber clash at Greg Beck Oval.

With Rosebud sitting near the bottom of the ladder and Frankston

Bombers eliminated from finals contention, both sides had little more than pride to play for.

Rosebud went into the first break with a one goal lead, but were quickly outmuscled by their Frankston opponents.

The Bombers put on a particularly impressive display in the final term, as they held Rosebud to just one behind for the quarter. It was an emphatic victory for the Bombers, as they claimed the win 13.14 (92) to 8.6 (54).

The final game for the round saw Mornington host bottom of the ladder Seaford at Alexandra Park.

Although it had been a frustrating year for the Tigers, they got off to a strong start and went into the first break with a narrow four point lead.

The Bulldogs weren’t willing to back down without a fight though, as they fought back to bring the game back to level terms at the half time break.

Seaford battled to work their way back into the lead, and held a seven point advantage heading into the final term.

Although they entered the final quarter full of momentum, Mornington eventually overran the Tigers to claim a scrappy win to close out their year.

Jackson Calder booted three goals to help his Bulldogs side to a 12.14 (86) to 11.11 (77) win.

The victory caps off a year of improvement for Mornington, as they finished the year with five wins.

Red Hill triumph in tricky weather DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn RED HILL have battled through rain, hail, and shine to claim an emphatic win over Karingal in a difficult qualifying final.

Both sides travelled to Somerville Recreation Reserve coming off wins in the last round of the home and away season, and a win would book either side a spot in the semi final against Dromana.

Both sides endured a difficult start as strong winds made it difficult to hit the scoreboard. The first quarter saw just two goals scored, one for each side, as both team struggled to adapt to the conditions. Red Hill were the better side early on, but they failed to make the Bulls pay, as they only kicked one goal from their first 17 entries into the forward 50.

Things didn’t get much easier in the second term either, as the rain turned to hail for a short period of time. Red Hill persisted through the pain, as they kicked away to an eight point lead at the half time break.

After half time the Bulls got within reach, but Red Hill again kicked away and established a buffer. Chris Irving turned it on for his side in the third term to help Red Hill stay ahead, but with just seven points separating the two sides at three-quarter time it was all still to play for.

The Bulls let themselves down in the final term with poor kicking going forward, as they added just two more behind to their tally. Red Hill coasted through the final quarter with ease, and put the game to bed with four

PAGE 34

Western Port News

unanswered majors.

Zach Vines put the exclamation point on a big win for his side, capping off the game with a screamer of a mark inside the forward 50 with just minutes left to play.

In wet and wild weather, Red Hill earned their chance to play off for a Grand Final spot with a convincing win 8.11 (59) to 3.9 (27).

Red Hill will now face off against Dromana to determine who will claim the first spot in the Grand Final. They will enter the clash full of confidence, as they were the only side to beat Dromana during the home and away season. The match will take place at Thomas Barclay Oval at 2pm Saturday.

Karingal will get a chance at redemption next week when they take on Langwarrin in the Preliminary Final to keep their premiership hopes alive. That match will take place at RJ Rowley Reserve at 2pm Sunday.

Langwarrin earned their chance to play Karingal after a hard earned victory over Chelsea in the elimination final.

The Kangaroos only just snuck into finals, but made the most of the opportunity by holding off the fast finishing Seagulls at RJ Rowley Reserve.

Chelsea lost their double chance when they fell to Hastings in the last round of the home and away season, meaning they are now eliminated from contention.

The final score read 9.15 (69) to 8.9 (57).

Macleod to step down at season’s end SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie JUST before 5pm on Saturday 8 September Gus Macleod will walk off the pitch for the last time as head coach of Langwarrin.

That moment will mark the end of a journey that started in pre-season training for the 1999 season and took 20 years to complete.

In all Macleod will have been at the helm for 447 league games, a feat that seems destined to stand the test of time.

He’s won multiple promotions and league championships with Langwarrin, Dockerty Cups with Fawkner and Green Gully and a State League Cup and Division One title with Springvale City.

And every step along the way at Lawton Park Macleod has had his assistant and friend Neil Collyer at his side and for most of the way Robert Mathieson junior, Robert Mathieson senior, Peter Tuckett, Dave Robson, Jim Morrison and Billy Bentley who have been integral parts of Langwarrin’s coaching staff.

Robson, Morrison and Bentley are no longer actively involved and it’s unlikely that current members of the senior coaching staff will stay.

The official announcement of Macleod’s pending departure was made last week and included recognition of the contributions of Ronnie Whitton, Victor Shive, Ritchie May, Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor, club technical director Steve Fisher, goalkeeping coach Chris Jones, major sponsor Greg Kilner and club president John Heskins.

“I left training last week with mixed emotions – a bit of pride, a bit of sadness – but the time was right because I don’t have the energy to build what we’ll need for next season,” Macleod said.

“You’ve got to finish in the top six next year to stay in the NPL for 2020 with the bottom six going into a new VPL1 league.”

Macleod won’t recommend a successor nor will he take on another role at the club as he wants the new coach to have a fresh start and a free reign.

“It’s a big job and I would think it probably needs someone younger, someone with the appropriate accreditation (at least a B licence) who has NPL experience and can attract NPL players to the club.”

No current local senior coach ticks all these boxes and the name most often linked with the position in the past few days is that of Oakleigh Cannons gaffer and Frankston South resident Chris Taylor.

His refusal to comment has fuelled speculation that the two-time Victorian Premier League Coach of the Year is weighing up his options.

Stuart Munro and Aaron Healey have also been mooted as candidates and a five-member working committee will conduct interviews.

Another candidate to emerge over the weekend is “Squizzy” Taylor, coach of Langy’s under-20s who has won a championship at that level with Bentleigh Greens.

Taylor holds a B licence, is well connected in NPL circles and would not baulk at the playing budget likely to be part of the deal given that Langy has operated throughout 2018 on the lowest budget in NPL2 East.

In State 4 South news Baxter inched clear of the relegation zone on goal difference after Saturday’s 2-2 home draw with Dandenong Warriors.

Macleod’s men: From left, Robert Mathieson junior, Neil Collyer, Peter Tuckett, Gus Macleod, Robert Mathieson senior, Ronnie Whitton, Victor Shive.

Picture: Darryl Kennedy

Dandenong had the better of the first half but Baxter bossed the second period.

Critics claim Dandenong is an academy masquerading as a community club and the close skills and ball movement of the visitors were highlighted in the opening 45 minutes but once Baxter turned the game into a physical contest it was rewarded.

Josh Bowen took advantage of hesitation in the Baxter defence to slide in and opening the scoring in the 10th minute.

A near post header from Tom Cikoratic drew a superb response from Baxter keeper James Foster in the 29th minute and three minutes later Baxter striker Mark Pagliarulo held off a defender but sent his low shot wide.

Bowen made it 2-0 in the 34th minute after Baxter gave the ball away and the attacking midfielder was sent clear striking the ball low past advancing Foster from 10 metres.

A high ball into the Dandenong area in the 38th minute was controlled by Pagliarulo who turned his marker and threw himself onto the ground and referee Ian Stead pointed to the spot.

Pagliarulo had no trouble converting and Baxter had a lifeline but it took a well-timed sliding tackle from Stuart McKenzie in the 44th minute to stop Ahmed Habeeb from effecting a tap-in and restoring the visitors’ two-goal cushion.

Four minutes into the second half scores were level.

Tim Lee drove the ball in low from the right and Adrian Pace controlled it then curled a left-foot strike from just outside the area in off the far post.

In the 66th minute a solo run by Ben Meiklem ended with a low left-foot shot that Dandenong keeper Chaiwat Koythong did will to parry and a stunning 30-metre Bowen effort crashed off the crossbar in the 70th minute.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

Shortly after Koythong made his best save of the contest diving low to his left to get a hand to Pagliarulo’s quickly taken free-kick that was destined for the far corner.

The contest ended for Dandenong central midfielder Mohsen Hassani a few minutes later when he was yellow carded for dissent for the second time in 10 minutes.

In the end Baxter was left ruing its inability to claim all three points in its ongoing battle to avoid the drop.

In State 5 South news a last gasp equaliser broke Somerville Eagles’ hearts as the local side was forced to settle for a 4-4 draw with lowly Knox United at Somerville Secondary College on Saturday.

An error-prone defence proved Somerville’s undoing as it missed a glorious opportunity to ramp up its promotion push.

Somerville started brightly and scored two quickfire goals with player-coach David Greening finishing well from a Louis Griffiths cross in the 2nd minute then converting from the spot after being felled in the area seven minutes later.

The first of four goals for Knox from calamitous defending came in the 26th minute with two free headers in the box allowing Gerard Vincent to make it 2-1.

Greening then grabbed his third following a superb through ball from Harry Chapman in the 38th minute but right on half-time the lively Robert Taylor found space in the area and the former Richmond and Doncaster Rovers midfielder finished well to make it 3-2.

Just 30 seconds into the second half Matt Swanson was dispossessed and Max Khalaf made it 3-3.

The rest of the game was a scrappy affair but in the 69th minute a piece of magic from Joel Wade

ROUND 21

after beating two defenders looked to have won the game for the Eagles.

But in the final minute a long ball downfield from Knox keeper Daniel Stapelfeldt bounced through the entire Somerville midfield and defence and Taylor was on hand to finish calmly and send the Knox faithful into raptures.

“It’s a disappointing result and the performance today was probably our worst of the season but that’s football,” Greening said.

“Fair play to Knox because they came here and were the better team but to concede at the death like that was a huge kick in the teeth after we thought we had scraped an undeserved win.”

In NPLW news Southern United was at home to Bayside United on Sunday as we went to print but there was doubt as to whether the fixture would go ahead.

Earlier in the day the under 12s, under-14s, under-16s and under-19s games were called off due to adverse weather and the condition of Monterey Reserve.

Whateley primed for pro debut, peninsula card set PENINSULA Boxer Jason Whateley is set to make his professional debut, after racking up 98 amateur fights, on Friday 7 September at the Melbourne Pavilion.

Having most recently claimed a silver medal at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in April, his coach Marcos Amado, believes Whateley is more than ready to take the next step.

“He’s reached the highest possible level in the amateur ranks and he’s now ready to do the same in the pros,” he said.

“The longer amount of rounds will make a massive difference for him.”

It’s been a long wait for Whateley to find an opponent for his professional debut with many boxers wary of what he brings to the table, but the five-time victor Navosa Ioata has taken up the challenge.

Amado said: “It’s not an easy fight, but he’s definitely up for it.”

Whateley will join fellow Mornington Peninsula boxers Jayde Mitchell, who will be headlining the card against Kerry Foley, and Kane Watts, who is yet to announce an opponent, on the night.

Whateley will then be looking to back-up his performance two weeks later on Sunday 23 September at the Melbourne Pavilion, with an opponent yet to be announced.

Also ready to get in the ring on the Sunday night are fellow Peninsula Boxers Lachie Higgins and Jai

Alexander, who will fight in the main event.

Higgins also hasn’t locked in an opponent yet but Alexander is set to face the unbeaten Beijing Olympian, Luke Boyd, for the WBA Oceania Super Bantamweight Title and a world rating.

“It’s going to be a great fight with Jai now at an eight win, zero loss record,” Amado said.

“They’re both strong, aggressive power punchers so it will really be the best man wins on the night.”

Higgins is also set to go up a weight division to super-middleweight which, according to Amado, is probably a bit over due for a man who’s six foot three (190cm).

Amado said that the boxers are all training well together and he’s confident they can all put in a solid performance.

“It’s a hard call to make considering everyone is confident heading into their fights but they’re all putting in and I’m confident they’ll show it on the night,” he said.

Sharks crunch through finals, Gulls take opening match BASKETBALL

By Ben Triandafillou THE Southern Peninsula Sharks Big V championship side continue to progress through the finals series with a two-point victory over the Waverley Falcons in round two on Sunday 12 August.

The Sharks have made their way from fifth on the normal season ladder to the preliminary final where they’ll be taking on the top-rated side Knox Raiders on Saturday 18 August.

Southern Peninsula Sharks basketball operations manager Lucas Allen said the side have overcome similar circumstances already this season and will be looking to do the same against Knox.

“It’ll be the same circumstances as they have faced in their first couple of games, lose and you’re out, but they’re pretty confident heading in,” Allen said.

Allen said their win over the Falcons (76-78) was a tough battle with the Sharks’ women showing real determination to break through.

“They got a bit of a lead and were able to maintain it until the final whistle,” he said.

“It came down to the last couple of plays. Jaz Shelley came up big and hit a three (point shot), and the women did well to defend in the dying seconds of the game to make sure they couldn’t get a shot off.

“It was a strong win.”

Jaz Shelley has also been selected to join the under-18 Australian team which will compete at the FIBA Asia under-18 Championships, in hopes to qualify for the under-19 FIBA World Cup. In the Men’s division one, Chelsea Gulls scored a crucial 10-point victory over the Western Port Steelers (94-104) away from home on Saturday 11 August.

The Gulls claimed the first of the

best-of-three semi-final and will get the advantage of having the final two matches played at their home court.

Western Port Steelers basketball operations manager, Tyler Molloy, still held hope that the Steelers could turn the result around.

“We turned the ball over a fair bit more than we had in previous matches and one of their guys (Mitch Riggs) ended up shooting seven from 10 three-pointers which we didn’t really expect,” he said.

“We’ve looked back at some game

tapes and will focus more on defence and hopefully we can score two [wins] on the road.

“It’s no easy feat but we’re confident we can grab one of the games and then anything can happen from there.”

Chelsea Gulls head coach Peter Caspersz was stoked to get the win away from home, and said that he wasn’t surprised to see Mitch Riggs play as well as he did.

“He did shoot out of his skin (seven three-pointers from his last seven

attempts) but he’s a SEABL player so it was no surprise to see him shoot so well,” he said. “It’d be great if he can convert it again on Saturday.”

Caspersz said that he expects the Steelers to come into the final two matches with “something up their sleeve” but is confident that they can put another win on the board.

“I’m hoping that we can wrap it up on the Saturday and put it to bed,” he said.

“We know we can do better [than last game]. We let them shoot at about

53 per cent so that’s something we’re definitely working on and we’ll try and shut them down a bit better this time around.”

The winner of the Chelsea Gulls/ Western Port Steelers semi-final will play the winner of the Keysborough Cougars/Shepparton Gators matchup.

The Gators won the first of three matches at home but will head to Rowville Secondary College (Cougars home court) for the remaining two games.

Karate students kick it at Nationals PETER Hollowood Martial Arts, in Mornington, had an astounding 21 athletes represent Victoria at the Australian National Karate Championships over the weekend of Friday 3 August.

The representatives had trained all year for the national championships in Caloundra, QLD and their hard-work was duly repaid with five of them claiming individual gold medals in Kumite, a form of point sparring.

On top of their individual performances, the Mornington dojo athletes claimed a further five team gold medals and a silver team medal across the competition.

Sensei Peter Hollowood, who is also a state coach, said the “fantastic results” came as no surprise with the amount of training his students put in throughout the year.

“My athletes train at the highest level and deserve all the recognition for their hard work,” he said.

“They all went up as a team and competed as a team. It was a good tournament up there and they were all very excited about their results as they’ve been training for such a long time.”

Sensei Peter’s son, Dean Hollowood, 23, was one of the five athletes to claim an individual gold medal.

Dean claimed gold in the Senior Men’s (67kg) competition as well as a team gold medal for his performance at the nationals, and has been selected to compete at the World Championships in Madrid, Spain in November.

Dean will be travelling to Chile in September

for a competition and then off to Noumea for a National training camp prior to the World Championships.

“He’s missed out on four World Championships but he’s stuck with it and finally broken through,” Sensei Peter said. “It’s great to see the hard work payed off.”

The Mornington dojo claimed a further four gold medals.

Aaliyah Zuniga won the Female Cadet (14-15 years) and earned a Team Gold medal; Ally Lourensz won the Female 12-13 years and a Team Gold medal; Mason Riley won the Junior Male (16-17 years) and a Team Silver medal; and Alex Steer won the Cadet Male (14-15 years) and a Team Gold medal.

Athletes from the dojo won another 11 bronze and silver individual medals, with some of them having their first attempt at the national competition.

Alex Hutchison won a Team Gold medal and two individual silver medals; Zac Dean won two silver medals and a bronze medal; Mathew Riley won a silver medal; Lily White won a silver medal; Ceara Taylor won a bronze medal; Ignatius Stow won a bronze medal; Nathan Pool won a bronze medal; and Erin Walsh won a bronze medal.

Sensei Peter said it was a great achievement for all involved, with the dojo’s representatives already talking about next year’s national championships.

Noonan welcomes training track upgrade VICTORIAN Racing Minister Martin Pakula announced on Thursday 16 August that $1.38 million of funding will be granted to the Mornington Racecourse to upgrade their sandbased training track.

The upgrade, which is currently underway, will see a move to a synthetic surface after 12 years of having a sand track to help allow for consistent training year-round.

Mornington-based racehorse trainer Tony Noonan said the transition to a synthetic track has had mixed reactions from the trainers, but the general consensus was positive.

“It’s a radical change to what we’re used to,” Noonan said.

“That always makes it tough, but I think the majority of trainers are in favour of it.”

The synthetic track has been a tried and proven surface at racecourses across Australia, with most notably Pakenham also using it for racing as well as jump outs and trials.

Noonan views the move from the sand to the synthetic track as a modernised version of when training tracks moved from the grass to the sand, and believes that it’s another step in the right direction.

“Grass is very expensive, so that’s when sand was bought in to offset

that, but this is a modernisation of the sand track and environmentally it’s a better answer I would think,” Noonan said.

“In the winter we got consistent rain and [the sand track] worked very well but when we got heavy rain it turned very quickly. In the summer it can get very dry and hard unless you apply a large amount of water to it, but of course that then becomes a real environmental issue.

“We just can’t afford to be spending a lot of water on those sorts of facilities when we’ve got an alternative.”

Noonan believes the sand track has “done its job” and only sees the move to the synthetic as a positive.

“It’s great for us,” he said.

“Not every track and training centre in Victoria has one, so the fact that we race on a polytrack (synthetic) at Pakenham, it’s got to be at our advantage as our horses become accustomed to working on it and then racing on it.”

“Over a long period of time, [Mornington] has been a very successful training centre and this is only going to compliment it even further.”
