Confidently speaking THE international Toastmasters organisation which offers training in public speaking or making presentations has opened a new branch in Western Port. Western Port Bay Toastmasters Club will hold its first meeting next month at Balnarring. The club, being formed during the centenary of the Toastmasters organisation, is “dedicated to empowering individuals in their journey to enhance communication and leadership skills, in a supportive and dynamic learning environment”. Organisers of the Western Port club Loretta Buckley and Rick Stuart say skills gained with Toastmasters have helped them in their personal and professional lives. Buckley believes her Toastmasters’ experience helped secure a case management position in the disability sector. While Stuart says he is “better able to relate to people and feel more empowered to speak my opinion as well as actively listen to others”. Western Port Bay Toastmasters Club follows the organisation’s international educational program at fortnightly meetings starting at 7.30pm on 7 March at Balnarring Community Hall. For more details call 0447 689 539.

Wards new names, new boundaries Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au NEW boundaries and nine new names have been announced for 11 singlecouncillor wards on the Mornington Peninsula. The changes will be used in the October council elections and replace the existing six wards, three of which have more than one councillor. The names of the shire’s 11 wards are Beek Beek, Benbenjie, Briars, Brokil, Coolart, Kackeraboite, Moorooduc, Nepean, Tanti, Tootgarook and Warringine. Briars and Nepean are the only
existing wards to retain their names, although each will be reduced in size and represented by one councillor. Briars ward currently has three councillors and Nepean two. The panel rejected changing Briars to Tichingorourke Ward and Nepean to Monmar. Ward names to be dropped are Cerberus, Red Hill, Seawinds and Watson. Six of the new ward names were on a list of 15 suggested by the shire. The changes to the municipal structure were announced in a December report by a three-person electoral structure review panel appointed last year by the Local Government Minis-
ter Melissa Horne. The panel said it decided the peninsula should continue to be represented by 11 councillors after considering the size and shape of wards along with the number of candidates who had contested past elections, incidences of uncontested elections and rates of informal voting. The panel said it had suggested Aboriginal ward names if it was the name of a place within a ward; the name was commonly used; and if it was registered under the Geographic Place Names Act 1998. The report said Cr Steve Holland had told a panel hearing last November that he believed reducing
the number of councillors from 11 to nine would save money and “allow equitable representation” throughout the shire. The panel said it found “no justifiable benefits in any nine singlecouncillor ward models to offset this increased [councillor] workload”. However, the panel had “agreed with the suggestion made by Cr Holland to simplify the names of wards based on significant features within wards”. Along with the new ward names and boundaries have come claims that the results may be subject to gerrymander, or manipulation, by political parties. “The result is a gerrymander be-
cause it is not based on the democratic, well established in Australia, system of only having a plus or minus deviation of 10 per cent to keep electoral areas as close as possible to even numbers,” Red Hill Ward’s Cr David Gill said. “My geographical area went up by nearly 10 per cent. It was 50 per cent of the shire, it’s now 60 per cent. “I believe only having [the local governmenr minister] in charge of electoral boundaries for local government leads to the possibility of the first political gerrymander in Australian history.” Aboriginal name for youth hub.

Surveys show ‘eco-anxiety’ over climate change fears

Music and more at ‘muso night’ PEOPLE play, sing, listen, recite and read at Balnarring Bowls Club’s muso night. Everybody is welcome to get up on stage or just be part of the audience and enjoy the experience. The live music night started about 20 years ago and, apart from promoting and supporting artists, has raised thousands of dollars for charity. Entry is a small donation, and the night supports music programs at local schools where underprivileged students get the opportunity to learn music. Spokesperson Jenny Taylor, who helps run the night with musician Bob McGaughey, says the night is always special because it gives people with an interest in music an opportunity to perform, experiment and connect with an audience.
“It’s always such a great, supportive night – it’s a great community that makes this happen, and people come from far and wide to be here,” she said. “We have our regular players and performers, but we always get new talent which is always welcome. It also gives people of all ages a chance to get up on stage and get encouragement and a taste of performance. “We have singers, poets, story tellers and more – old people, young people, in-between performing is the main ingredient.” Taylor says anyone with a desire to perform is welcome. The muso night runs every Wednesday from 7pm at the Balnarring Bowls and Social Club, 12 Strathmore Road, Balnarring.
A SURVEY of 8800 of people aged 15 to 19 has found that those concerned about climate change were more likely to have higher psychological distress and “low wellbeing”. Mission Australia, youth organisation Orygen and academics at the University of Melbourne rated their mental health as "poor or fair". Youth mental health provider Headspace reported similar results after surveying more than 3000 18 to 25 year olds. The respondents were increasingly worried about their future, concerned that they would not have the same options that their parents had and would like to see more action taken on the challenge of climate change. Peninsula Voice says “eco-anxiety”, the fear and stress felt about climate change, is being worsened by repeated natural disasters and plans to “shine a light” on the issue during its 29 February event, Climate Change – our home, our future. “Topics like bushfires and floods, temperature and sea level rises, damage to our native flora and fauna are confronting us daily, but there’s less talk about what is being done to address it,” Peninsula Voice convenor Peter Orton said. “Anxiety eases when we take action, so we want to provide this hope to our community by sharing stories of local initiatives.” The event would see experts in climate change and human health share the latest evidence of the global and local picture and the efforts being made to address climate change “and the steps we can all take to make a difference”. Orton said the work of 19-year-old Sam Lundberg, who lives on the peninsula, was “a really good example”. Lundberg volunteered with Zero Positive, a
SAM Lundberg non-profit youth organisation that led initiatives to guide Australian schools towards emission neutrality while fostering positive mental attitudes towards climate action. “He’s currently working with Peninsula Grammar on a five-year plan to become emissions neutral and is also chairing the Melbourne branch for Zero Positive’s subsidiary GenZero, a youth climate advisory board.” Other speakers include Melbourne University Professor David Karoly (Climate Change on a global front) and Monash University Associate Professor Angie Bone (Climate Change and human health). “We’ll also hear from Repower and local action to reduce carbon emissions and the climate change team from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council,” Orton said. Climate Change – our home, our future, 6.30pm to 8.30pm, Thursday 29 February at Peninsula Community Theatre, 91 Wilsons Road, Mornington.

‘Potter’ prepares for new ‘stage’ Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au IT appears to be business as usual for the teams behind the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience event in April, with organisers pivoting quickly to focus on the new site at The Briars community forest dog park. Signs on the gate block people from using the dog park so that infrastructure upgrades and decorative installations can be completed by the event’s start on 6 April. The advertising spin of the event remains unchanged, tempting audiences with the line that it will be a “nighttime woodland trail experience filled with magical creatures and wizarding wonders from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films”. Apart from the deal not yet being sealed by an official letter from Warner Bros confirming the site change, those opposed to the wildlife sanctuary being originally chosen as the event site are celebrating the organisers’ change of heart. The site change was prompted by a global backlash that threatened to harm the Harry Potter brand and was enough for global entertainment giants Warners Bros and Fever Entertainment to rethink their choice - with approval from Mornington Peninsula Shire - of using a wildlife sanctuary. Community group Save Briars Sanctuary (SBS) was behind a national and international protest campaign calling on organisers to relocate the event away from the sanctuary.

Its petition attracted more than 22,000 signatures and the campaign gained support from the political parties, environmental groups and wildlife carers, in Australia and abroad, and the group wrote directly to Warner Bros. In a welcome move, on 8 February the group received an email from the senior vice-president of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment, Peter van Roden, saying the companies were “reevaluating the current location of Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience in The Briars at Mount Martha”. The council then scheduled an extraordinary meeting to inform the community of the “joint” decision to relocate the event to the community forest dog park within The Briars. Responding to a question during the meeting by Cr Sarah Race about the “very big dog community” on
the peninsula, CEO John Baker said dog walkers would be accommodated at the public golf course in Mount Martha during the Harry Potter event, and “other dog walking” options were being investigated. A release from Save Briars Sanctuary stated: “The decision to relocate Harry Potter is a significant achievement and we are relieved that the wildlife will now be safe. “However, the seeming lack of scrutiny when approving the largest event in the history of the Mornington Peninsula is alarming. Especially when the location is a special and precious ecosystem. Our wildlife should never be put at risk for profit.” A spokesperson for the group said it was looking forward to the shire’s promised review of its processes and hoped that the shire “engages with the community during and after the examination”.

Tuning into improvisation
Picture: Yanni IMPROVISATION has transformed the way composer and performer Anne Norman thinks and feels about music. The internationally renowned shakuhachi player (a type of Japanese flute) is co-running musical improvisation workshops this month and next. Participants will step into the unknown in the acoustic series for strings, wind, percussion, keyboard and voice. A classically trained musician, Norman says she played and wrote music for decades before discovering the freedom of improvisation following a change in life circumstances.
“I started working with actors and dancers and, in creating music for them, I found I could use their bodies as my score, and it was really liberating,” she said. Windows opened up and Norman delved further into the world of music improvisation, studying techniques and honing her skills to better respond to sound and visual cues. Norman says improvised music allows for self-expression and fosters a strong, creative relationship between musician and instrument. “It can be incredibly exciting when you are in free impro mode with another artist and you both move in the same
direction at the same time,” she said. “It also enhances your listening skills and your awareness of the other. It can actually be quite mystical at times.” The workshops will be held by Norman and musician Paol Grage from the Mornington Improv Collective. The $30 a session workshops subsidised by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council are for skilled musicians who want to try musical improvisation will be held at Saint Marks Uniting Church, Mornington, from 7pm on Wednesday 28 February and 6, 13, 20 and 27 March.

THE Mornington Community Safelink Group is calling on Dunkley by-election candidates to commit to financing a safe connection between Frankston and Mornington. Convenor Graeme Rocke said that with more people walking and riding, the “critical missing link” of the Peninsula Trail which fell partly in the Dunkley electorate, would provide a connection to the peninsula for all residents of Dunkley and Melbourne’s southeast. Eight candidates are the contesting the Saturday 2 March by-election being held to fill the vacancy created by the death last December of Labor’s Peta Murphy (Eight line up for Dunkley, The News 13/2/24). Mornington Peninsula Shire Council recently released for public comment a draft of its strategic plan for the Peninsula Trail which identifies this section as being of its highest priority. The Peninsula Trail is council’s plan for a set of connected walking and riding paths that proponents hope will become one of Australia’s destinations for active travel and transport. Rocke said the Mornington Community Safelink Group supported the council plan. “At the last federal election the coalition recognised the value of this shared path and committed $5 million dollars to it, if re-elected. We are now
calling on both parties to recognise the priority the community places on this local project, and make a commitment,” he said. “The Safelink is consistent with the state government’s draft Frankston to Mornington Parklands Plan and, if developed in conjunction with both the existing steam railway and the potential of the area to create a green natural corridor, could become one of the peninsula’s major year round community assets.” The CEO of the Committee for Frankston & Mornington Peninsula, Josh Sinclair, said the project had strong community and local government support. “It’s a no brainer. This project would help connect the peninsula’s trail of networks, creating a worldwide cycling and walking network attracting visitors from across Australia,” he said. “Having better connected and healthy communities is a core pillar of local government and the committee, and this project should be a priority for the incoming federal member for Dunkley.” For details of the project go to mornpen.vic.gov.au/About-Us/Advocacy/Peninsula-Trail To comment go to shape.mornpen. vic.gov.au/a-strategic-plan-for-peninsula-trails Liz Bell

Aboriginal name for youth hub THE release of the mainly Aboriginal names for Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 11 wards coincides with public approval being sought to name the “brand new Southern Peninsula Youth Hub in Rosebud”, Tounnin Wominjeka. The shire says it decided to use “traditional owner language” for the name after feedback from young people interacting with its youth services department and consulting with the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation (Aboriginal names for $13m youth hub, The News 13/1/24). The land council had suggested three suitable names and the shire had since “engaged” with more than 360 young people, with most voting for Tounnin Wominjeka. Public comments can be made before Thursday 14 March at: mornpen.vic.gov.au/nameSPYH

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council is advertising for “experienced contractors/firms” to be partners in building new “consolidated” shire offices. The offices can be built on private or shireowned land and would replace the current offices at Rosebud, Hastings and Mornington. Potential locations listed by the shire include the sites of the three existing shire offices: Wannaeue Place, Rosebud; Queen Street, Mornington; Waterloo Place car park, Mornington; Besgrove Street, Rosebud; Marine Parade, Hastings; Civic Reserve, Dunns Road, Mornington.

Budget prize offer MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council is offering a prize for residents’ “ideas and aspirations” for its next budget. The inducement follows the unprecedented
backlash the shire faced over its secret decision to allow the wildlife sanctuary at The Briars, Mount Martha, to be used for the sound and light show, Harry Potter: a Forbidden Forest Experience. Despite weeks of saying it was not possible, the shire last week moved the show out of the sanctuary and into the community forest, dog leash-free area (Sanctuary may be forbidden for Harry, The News 13/2/24). Suggestions for items to be included in the 2024-25 shire budget can be made until 15 March. “By participating, you have the chance to win a $100 voucher from one of the many food establishments that were nominees in the hospitality category for our 2023 Business Excellence Awards,” a news release stated (including exclamation marks) and issued by the shire the day before it performed the Harry Potter backflip. Budget suggestions can be made at mornpen. vic.gov.au/budget-2024-25 “Don’t miss your chance to go in the draw! Your feedback is food for thought for council, so what better way of thanking our community than with a good feed?” the mayor, Cr Simon Brooks said. Keith Platt

Keeping busy with living after grief Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au SOMETHING almost magical is happening every month at Bentons Square Community Centre, and it’s transforming the lives of people who are grieving. A support group called Projex J and its threeword transformative and inspirational motto Get busy living, is giving people trapped in a cycle of sadness and despair a way to move forward. The trailblazing support group that welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds to come together to share their stories or simply listen, is the brainchild of Chantelle Ross, whose 23-year-old son Jamerson was killed in a road incident in Hastings in 2022. It’s that lived experience that partly makes Ross connect so well with others on the grief journey – whether it’s through the loss of a loved one through death or divorce, or the loss of a part of a life that is forever gone. Just three months after her son died, and despite drowning in the immense loss and hopelessness she felt, Ross got busy living and focussed on instigating change in the therapy and grief space. She started an annual fishing competition in her son’s name at Hastings to raise awareness and help finance an inspirational therapy group Projex J, a service she started to provide affordable counselling and support to those in need. “What I found when I needed help to work through my grief and pain was that therapy was expensive and not accessible to everyone so, with the help of Bentons Square Community Centre, I started a therapy/support group myself,” she said. The group was almost instantly successful, partly because of Ross’s endearingly open, honest and welcoming approach, and partly because it is filling a desperate need for community-

based grief support. “We have met so many incredible people who have been suffering silently with their grief, unheard,” she said. “Some of them come along reluctantly after months or even years unable to find release or even talk about their struggles, but they always get something out of these sessions and they come back.” Ross said it was well known among psychologists that talking and sharing was often the best way to work through personal pain, and a great way to exorcise the demons of loss and suffering. “People who come to the sessions experience beautiful connections with others, just through sharing and the realisation that they are not alone, everyone in the room understands and relates to them,” she said. “It’s support, it’s validation of your feelings, it’s being part of something that’s bigger.” The sessions will often include guest speakers, such as Mornington Peninsula psychologist Ruth Chatwin and clinical hypnotherapist and meditation teacher Jan Winslade. There are also occasional art sessions where people in grief can
explore creativity as a form of therapy. “We recognise that dealing with loss is not a one size fits all approach, so we look at all types of support and therapies, and people can find what suits and works for them,” Ross said. The sessions were structured according to the need and “mood” of the room, and there was no set agenda or schedule she felt obligated to follow. “But, always at the end of our sessions, people are lighter and happier. They may have had nowhere to put their grief, nowhere to put it in perspective and share, and it’s a lifeline for them,” Ross said. “I’d love to make this kind of support and affordable counselling available to everyone, we are looking to going Victoria wide, and maybe more, there is such a need.” Projex J has also applied for not-for-profit status so it can raise money and provide more targeted grief support to the wider community. Sessions run on the first Wednesday of each month at Bentons Square Community Centre, 5.30pm to 6.30pm. For details call Chantelle Ross on 0419 661 215.

OPINION
‘Multi-port’ option to keep Hastings in wind terminal loop By Josh Sinclair* AS many of us enjoyed our summer holiday, a small parcel of reclaimed land inside Western Port made national headlines. Situated between a major steel manufacturer and the Long Island Point gas plant is the reclaimed land foreshadowed by the state government as the home to the Victorian Renewable Energy Terminal. The federal government’s recent intervention to halt the project has created uncertainty for the region and the offshore wind industry. However, given the sensitive environmental and biodiversity concerns of a Ramsar listed wetlands, it’s important these matters are handled delicately and with great care for our environment. Western Port is the jewel in the Mornington Peninsula’s crown. It is home to world famous weedy seadragons, Phillip Island’s thriving colony of little penguins, and French Island National Park – home to Victoria’s most significant koala population. The peninsula community takes its role as local defenders of Western Port incredibly seriously. In 2019, the community fought off the proposed floating gas storage and re-gasification unit (FSRU) at Crib Point and, in March 2021, the planning minister ruled that the project was unacceptable. This was an important moment for the future of the bay in determining what industries are acceptable in our region. As a result, groups like the Westen Port Biosphere Foundation are working with local governments and key stakeholders to try and develop a framework for government and major proponents to develop guidelines and create stability. For the community and industry, this is pivotal work. Over recent years, the state government has given itself some very ambitious renewable energy targets to try and accelerate emissions reductions across Victoria. A target of 25 per
LONG Island Point, Hastings has been chosen as a site for a terminal to assemble offshore wind turbines. Picture: Gary Sissons cent by 2020 proved successful, but the updated targets of 65 per cent by 2030 and 95 per cent by 2035 will be more difficult to reach. Offshore wind has its own targets too, with 2GW of offshore wind generation originally anticipated by 2032, and 9GW by 2040. It’s fair to say these targets came to a screeching halt in December when the federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek vetoed plans for the renewable energy terminal to be built at the Port of Hastings. The state government remains “undeterred” and will assess what options it has available. So, how did we end up in this situation? The Commonwealth could have afforded Victoria the opportunity to amend its proposal before it rejected it as being “totally unacceptable”. Both levels of government are enthusiastic supporters of the offshore wind industry, particularly the Gippsland offshore wind zone – but a terminal that is strategically located close to

Gippsland and close to a substantially qualified workforce is necessary for the industry to take its first steps. Both governments need to work out a solution, as further delays will only stall the state’s renewable energy transition and send offshore wind proponents to other states or other parts of the world. The scale of dredging required is clearly a problem for the community, and the federal government acknowledged this as one of its key concerns in making its decision. So too is the project’s footprint and its effect on migratory birds and marine life. To address some of these concerns, the state government could look towards a multi-port model, scaling back the size of the terminal in Hastings and using ports at Barry Beach (near Toora in Gippsland) and Geelong to share the assembly process. These two additional ports have been identified by offshore wind proponents as crucial, so plans are already underway to use
them for servicing, maintenance and operations. However, it’s critical that the home of offshore wind assembly remains at the Port of Hastings. Hastings was identified by the state government as the most appropriate location for the terminal. It has strategic advantages over Gippsland and Geelong given its proximity to Melbourne’s workforce, natural deep water channels and available land. Furthermore, offshore wind components are obtrusive, heavy, and require a unique set of requirements that no terminal in Victoria is currently capable of assembling. If the state government’s response or appeal means a pathway to an environmental effects statement (EES) process is possible, then the socio-economic benefits for Hastings and surrounding townships are important to discuss. Hastings frequently tops government lists of disadvantage, rental stress and unemployment statistics. Australian Bureau of Statistics data from the 2021 Australian census ranks Hastings as the most disadvantaged suburb in Melbourne, alongside Capel Sound, Sunshine, Cranbourne and Broadmeadows. An industry that is home grown and nation leading will require local jobs and skills. Opportunities for the often forgotten side of the Mornington Peninsula don’t come up often, so we should embrace these positive winds of change which will bring so much good to our region. As the nation continues its transition to a clean energy future, Hastings has an opportunity to assert itself as the home of renewable energy in Victoria. Our region could play a pivotal role in the nation’s battle against the adverse effects of climate change. With the right balance and the opportunity to commence a thorough EES process, offshore wind assembly could redefine Hastings for the next half a century. *Josh Sinclair is CEO of the Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula

After 18 seasons across 10 years, the formula for this much-loved series hasn’t changed one iota. For those who are yet to fall for this amusing distraction, it’s essentially TV lovers idle in their living rooms watching the latest shows, unfiltered and honest, as secret cameras capture every spontaneous remark and facial expression. In this 19th instalment, original cast members including the Daltons (pictured) are dutifully back on the couch. It’s an entertaining window into our national psyche.

Taking on the lead role this time is Jeremy Renner (pictured) as super soldier Aaron Cross. After surviving an attempt on his life during a training exercise, Cross sets off to find those responsible for his genetic enhancement. A fine cast, clever plot and some incredible action sequences mean this Bourne chapter loses nothing without Damon.

HOUSE OF GODS
ABC TV, 8.30pm
This sophisticated thriller about family and power takes place in western Sydney and comes from Ali’s Wedding writer and creator Osamah Sami. It’s personal for Sami, based on his teen years growing up as the son of the head cleric at a Melbourne mosque. Starring Kamel El Basha (pictured above, right), it’s an immersive view into an Iraqi Australian community and culture, which is rarely represented on screen. We follow a charismatic sheik who is elected as head of The Messenger mosque amid a flurry of controversy. Gripping and original.
You’d be forgiven for doing a doubletake upon seeing straight-talking British chef Gordon Ramsay (pictured) – who sprinkles swear words as liberally as salt and pepper – on-screen again. After more than 10 years, motivated to help mend the havoc that the pandemic wreaked on the hospitality industry, the foodie is back guiding failing restaurants turn their fortunes around with a no-nonsense talking to – as well as a menu and dining area reno. Tonight, Ramsay is in Brooklyn at Juicy Box, where he comes to the rescue of manager Q by not only getting the longbroken juicer fixed, but by taking the partygoer to the gym. It’s fiery Gordon doing good. Chef Gordon Ramsay returns in Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA

Trust: easily lost, hard to regain The relocation of the Harry Potter Experience to a less sensitive at The Briars will come as a great relief to those who pressured Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to reconsider its decision. A new ecological report for this community forest (dog walking park) will be published on the shire website soon. This new location is 500 metres from the nearest point of the wildlife sanctuary and, we are told, will have minimal effect on the fauna and flora. CEO John Baker acknowledged that the community backlash definitely influenced this decision to change the venue. Cr Despi O’Connor moved the recommendation then went on to make excuses as to why the councillors were the “heroes” in this debacle. I’m not sure if all the councillors get it, even now. Looking forward to the commitment by the mayor Cr Simon Brooks that there will be a review of the process undertaken by the council to locate [the performance] at The Briars in the first place. Maybe that review will make the council realise that trust, easily lost and hard to regain, is the first casualty of lack of transparency and consultation. The Greens Mornington Peninsula played an active role with Save Our Briars and other community groups to engage in robust discussions with all stakeholders and with all levels of government. A great relief to all. Julie Gunn, Dromana
Thanks for Gill I would like to thank Cr David Gill for standing firm in the protection of The Briars’ wildlife and not following the non-disclosure and secrecy demands raised for the Harry Potter project. It is not the first time that Cr Gill has stood up for the Mornington Peninsula’s needs. On many occasions before has he shown, often on his own or with a small number of fellow councillors, that his attitude as a councillor is to work and lobby for the better of the peninsula and its ratepayers, rather than like others who are driven by party politics or matters of self-esteem. Norbert Wichmann, Mornington
Dunkley’s choice The groundswell of folk willing to protect the wildlife within The Briars sanctuary was uplifting evidence of how much people on the Mornington Peninsula care about the environment. Given recent wild weather and power outages, amid a cost-of-living crisis, the upcoming Dunkley by-election offers an interesting choice for voters. On climate and energy, the coalition is increasingly pushing for nuclear, which modelling from the CSIRO says is five times more expensive to build than firmed renewables and, according to many experts including former Chief Scientist Alan Finkel, wouldn’t be online until the 2040s. Labor, meanwhile, is pushing ahead with its plan for 82 per cent renewables by 2030. If we care about addressing climate change and protecting our environment in a way that doesn’t further add to cost-of-living pressures, it’s worth thinking through these and other policy options prior to ballot day. Amy Hiller, Kew
Climate chaos We’re fast approaching third world status when an admittedly strong weather condition can knock our power and communication systems out and put 500,000 people in peril. In the meantime, our climate change denying NLP members of parliament are still clinging to their mantra of, “It costs too much to do anything meaningful about our CO2 emissions”. It’s starting to become clear to all and sundry that doing nothing is going to be a lot more expensive for us all. Civilisation is only skin deep and if we keep having disasters like a few days ago more frequently, society will be in great danger of drifting into chaos. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring
Voicing strategies It was heartening to read that the community group Peninsula Voice is providing a forum for residents to discuss and combat climate change (Facing up to climate change, The News 6/2/24). The Climate Change Empowerment Handbook of the Australian Psychological Society lists eight strategies making the acronym ACTI-
VATE. The third strategy is “Talk about climate change and break the collective silence”, while the fourth strategy is “Inspire positive visions”. It’s clear from Peter Orton’s report that the forum to be held on Thursday 29 February at the Peninsula Community Theatre includes both these key strategies. The group’s events page at peninsulavoice.org.au/our-events is well worth a visit. Ray Peck, Hawthorn
Change is needed The current global warming is different from previous ones. (Climate ‘normal’, Letters 13/2/24) Our planet’s average temperature has, as your correspondent wrote, risen 1.48°C in just over 170 years, since 1850. But since 1970 the rate averages 1.7°C a century - and it is speeding up. In the past, changes were typically much, much slower; in the previous 7000 years to now, for example, the temperature was declining at a rate of 0.01C a century. The current rapid changes are too fast for species, including us and our systems, to seamlessly adapt. Current rates of species extinction are reckoned to be at least 1000 times the so-called background rate. Of course, if we don’t want to, we don’t have to believe any of these documented findings. Hopefully, science and logic will have us question how we can ask the planet to keep absorbing ever increasing volumes of greenhouse gas pollution from our sometimes wasteful, frequently fossil-fuel dependent lifestyles, and not expect consequences. To keep the climate the way we like it, we need to change. Lesley Walker, Northcote
Unwanted added extra What a Sunday I had. I went to church, and they passed around the plate. They said 15 per cent surcharge extra. We have staff to pay on a Sunday. Then I went to the supermarket to get milk and bread. The girl at the checkout said 15 per cent surcharge extra. We want to get paid. It is Sunday. I decided to go to the movies. The box office person said they wanted 15 per cent surcharge on my ticket because it was Sunday and there were wages to pay. As I was leaving the cinema I fell and broke my leg. I called the ambulance. They said 15 per cent surcharge extra. It is Sunday. At the hospital they said it is Sunday, so we need 15 per cent surcharge extra because of Sunday wages. Lucky I didn’t go to a restaurant because they would have charged me 15 per cent surcharge because it was Sunday. Judi Loughridge, Rosebud
Promises easy to make The Liberals claim that they will provide money for the electrification of the Frankston-Baxter line. Voters should be wary of this promise. The Liberals are in no position to actually deliver this money as they are in opposition and will be so for the remainder of this term and probably the next. Promises are always easy from opposition. Secondly the coalition’s ability to deliver is also dubious, who can forget the “station car parks” debacle in their last term of government. Ross Hudson, Mount Martha
Age old questions OMG. 2024 already, so quick. It sneaks up on you. And with it a frightening thought: This coming March I reach 88 years. Those last 20 years slipped by almost unnoticed. One minute I was an actor, the next nothing? The Chinese say it’s double good fortune, but I’m not Chinese. Whichever way I look at it, as in my future, I’m an octogenarian, so at best small mercies. Little or no subtext to fall back on. The cupboard is empty. Of the world, even the Yanks are in trouble, a Donald Trump presidency on the cards, we live in hope of Anthony Albanese updating his courage and dispensing with the dangerous Peter Dutton in 2025, do something about Julian Assange and watch, hoping the Russians, the Chinese, and those in the Middle East forget us and sort out their fights among themselves.
Signs of having personal problems On our typical Sunday walk we see street signs ripped out of the ground. I do feel sorry for the poor souls that have nothing better to do on a Saturday night, however I do seem to recall reading of an international
study that showed there was a direct correlation between disrespect for public property and a low IQ, together with sexual inadequacy. I guess they just don’t get it. John Power, Mornington
Meantime, another AFL football season awaits, those small mercies, assuming I last another season. The old joke of walking into a room, stopping, and asking yourself “Why did I come in here?” uppermost. Google doesn’t answer that one. Cliff Ellen, Rye
schools, better roads, modern trains and improved services and care for our ageing senior citizens. Since Albanese’s Labor came to power we’ve had 11 consecutive cash rate hikes (from 0.1 per cent to 4.35 per cent) and the quarterly inflation figure of around 5.3 per cent. in December 2023. In March 2023, the inflation figure climbed to seven per cent. That figure was the highest it has been since Labor’s Paul Keating, 30 years ago. The cost of living has seen household expenses rise 11.2 per cent ( December 2022) with electricity prices forecast to rise 50 per cent by 2024 and mortgage rates for the average owner occupier paying a variable rate of 6.54 per cent in 2024. In 2019 there was Labor’s retiree tax targeting almost million retirees, investors and pensioners. Those Australians had spent their lives working, saving and contributing to superannuation, for most, a compulsory savings scheme, designed to enable them to live out their retirement years free of the need of a government pension. Send Labor the message that forcing up fuel, electricity and gas prices, increasing taxes, ongoing teacher shortages, inadequate rail services, high crime rates, the rising cost of living and inflation won’t be tolerated. On or before 2 March, vote one for Nathan Conroy of the Liberal Party. Thomas Quinn (Liberal, Victoria), Moe
Building too high I have lived in Frankston for 25 years and am appalled by the proposal to undermine the most beautiful natural assets of the bay by building a wall of up to 16 storey dwellings close to the foreshore. [Frankston mayor and the Liberal Party’s Dunkley candidate] Nathan Conroy reiterates he supports those struggling with the cost of living. However, these million dollar apartments which he supports wholeheartedly are not affordable for strugglers, so I am doubtful he really cares about the community. Avril Bradley, Frankston
Politics as usual Frankston councillor Liam Hughes was appointed acting mayor while overseas. It appears that he did not nominate for the position and he had leave from council. There are councillors who have been mayor in the past who could take over the responsibilities of mayor until either Hughes or the Liberal candidate for Dunkley Cr Nathan Conroy returns as mayor or resigns. What is occurring is politics and it seems the reason the council is angry and wants Cr Hughes’ resignation and return from overseas is so that it can get the money the Commonwealth promised to build the Frankston to Baxter rail extension, not build it. The money for the unexplained projects which the council are after cannot be given to Frankston Council as it is unconstitutional for the Commonwealth to give local government money, even though there is an unconstitutional Commonwealth ministry and minister for local government which cost taxpayers millions of dollars every year. What is happening here is politics to remove Hughes as the councillors removed his father from council. If they are so concerned then they should appoint one of the councillors to meet with the [Dunkley by-election] candidates to lobby for the money. Prime Minister [Anthony] Albanese has promised $1 billion dollars towards the building of the extension to the Frankston Hospital only. So that leaves the mayor of Frankston, Nathan Conroy, the Liberal candidate who no doubt will give the “world” with promises of unconstitutional revenue. Russell, Morse, Karingal
Record of debt The voters of Dunkley simply can’t afford the “debt and deficit” culture of Jodie Belyea and [Prime Minister] Anthony Albanese’s Labor Party. Australia’s net debt in 2024 is forecast at $491 billion, or 18.4 per cent of GDP. That’s a massive debt that our grandkids will be left to pay off.

Heart of the matter Heart Research Australia is dedicated to reshaping how Australians approach cardiovascular wellbeing without causing financial strain. Beyond our collective effort to raise funds for life-saving research, our goal this year is to shed light on the financial and health implications associated with heart disease, affecting individuals regardless of their financial circumstances. Heart disease touches the lives of two in three Australians and stands as the leading cause of death. Prioritising heart health is an investment in both personal wellbeing and financial stability. In the midst of escalating living expenses, allocating resources for health might seem like a luxury. However, overlooking heart health can result in severe financial consequences, impacting wages, work capacity, career advancement, and long-term financial stability. Knowledge plays a pivotal role in fostering a healthier heart, with eight out of 10 cases of premature heart disease and stroke preventable through healthy lifestyle choices. From hearthealthy, budget friendly diets to accessible exercise options and stress management techniques, there are numerous practical and cost-effective strategies. We invite all Australians to explore our free online Heart Hub, offering a wealth of expert advice on cultivating heart-healthy habits. Research is a lifeline, emphasising Heart Research Australia’s steadfast support for world class researchers. This is why we encourage all Australians to wear red this February and, if possible, extend a helping hand by contributing to fund vital research against heart disease.

JOHN PAUL College
J
ohn Paul College is a Catholic coeducational secondary College in Frankston that has been providing opportunities for students to learn and grow since 1979. We have a beautiful physical setting and impressive facilities which are complemented by the richness and depth of our heritage in creating a vibrant school culture of learning and care.
I’ve had the honour of being the Principal of John Paul College, since 2017. My role is to ensure that we continue to respond to the rapidly evolving educational landscape and expectations of society, as we educate and inspire future generations of young men and women who can critically reflect on the world and respond with passion and compassion to the challenges and opportunities of a new age. The College was founded in 1979 in the merger of two single gender Catholic schools on this site, Stella Maris fcJ College for girls (established in 1968) and Marianist College for boys (1973). Our rich heritage in the tradition of the fcJ Sisters and the Marianist order provided the foundations for establishing a community inspired by faith in the good news of Jesus. We continue the journey of faith and are nurtured and guided by the charisms of these two orders, as we work together for the benefit of our young people. Ensuring strong academic and social outcomes for
each one of our students is our purpose. John Paul College is a Catholic school providing high quality teaching and facilities for learning, sports, music and the arts. It is a place where students feel safe and know that they belong, a place where students’ individual strengths are nurtured and developed and where faith and a sense of community are fundamental to our identity. This is how we live out our mission: With Him is the fullness of life. It is the students, staff and parents in our College community that make our school
such a wonderful place to be. I hope that you will be encouraged to visit our website or contact us to book a tour and come and see all that makes our school unique.

OBITUARY
Carl Bryant: a link with the Hastings of yesteryear OBITUARY
Carl Robert Bryant 22 September 1928 – 13 November 2023
Carl Bryant in 1943, aged 15.
Carl Bryant was born in Hastings and was a descendant of three pioneering Western Port families: the Bryants, the Barclays and the Graydens. He passed away on 13 November 2023 in The Bays, Hastings where he had been a resident for several months. He was 95. In accordance with Carl’s wishes, no funeral service was held but he was interred in the Tyabb cemetery, Hastings, on 21 November. This tribute is based on information provided by his daughter, Jenny. *** Carl Robert Bryant was born at the family home in Victoria Street, Hastings on 22 September, 1928. His parents were Coralina (nee Barclay) and Owen Bryant and Carl was the nineth of ten children. Carl’s ancestors were fishermen on Western Port Bay and, before that, Coode Island in Port Phillip Bay, Denmark in Western Australia and, further back, the Orkney Isles in Scotland. Carl attended Hastings Primary School where, when he was ten years old, The Headmaster demanded that he start wearing shoes. It was the Depression years and times were tough; in fact, at home Carl’s blanket was a cut-open sack. From the age of six he milked two cows each morning before heading to school The bushland and creeks around Hastings were Carl’s favourite playground, especially along Warrangine Creek where his uncle grazed cattle and his father (Owen) and brothers cut timber for firewood which they sold. The eel pond, near where the creek runs into Western Port Bay, was of special interest to Carl and his best mate (‘Todd’ Farmer); fires would be lit in the vicinity to attract the eels to the surface. At the age of 16 Carl entered the workforce, starting as a station attendant at Stony Point Railway station. A daily commute from Hastings by pushbike was required. This was only a short stint as the family’s connection with the fishing industry was too strong to be ignored. Initially, Carl worked on the ‘Julie Burgess’, a Bass Strait cray boat, and then the ‘William Flair’ which involved crayfishing off southern and south west Tasmania. Carl thought this to be ‘a
dreadful place’ with terrible weather including very rough seas. Consequently, he returned to Melbourne, bought a motorbike, and travelled

down to Port Welshpool where he obtained a job long-lining sharks on the ‘Volita’. His 21st birthday was spent at sea.
Carl’s mother was determined that he should learn a trade so, in his early 20’s, he spent four years in the city completing an apprentice-
ship as a fitter and turner. This was followed by a variety of jobs: at HMAS Cerberus, the Colourtone brick factory and even cutting trees for a sawmill at Main Ridge. He then worked at the docks in Melbourne as a ‘wharfie’. While working at the docks Carl called in at the Hastings Bush Nursing Hospital one day for a blood poison injection. This was administered by a young visiting nurse named Jean Constable. Soon after they went to the pictures to see ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’ and a romance blossomed. Carl and Jean married on 23 June 1953 and built a house on a block which Jean had purchased in Victoria Street, next to Carl’s parents. This prompted Carl to seek work in Hastings and he joined the PMG as a linesman and then as a cable jointer. The call of the sea was still there, however, so the couple borrowed the money for an 18 metre steel fishing boat. Designed by Carl and built by his brother (Fred), it was named the ’Jean Bryant’ and was to be used shark fishing in Bass Strait. Carl was required to return to school to obtain ‘tickets’ in navigation, marine engine driving and radio telephony. The radio enabled Jean to keep in regular contact with Carl while he was at sea and she would be waiting at the jetty to help with the unloading when Carl came gliding up the channel with his load of sharks. Then, in the early 1980’s, when the fishing days were done, they bought an 11 acre property in Stumpy Gully Road, Bittern where they transitioned into poultry farmers. Meanwhile, Carl and Jean had raised six children: Jennifer, Lloyd, Robin, Mandy (deceased), Stacey and Ian. Family holidays involved camping with plenty of shooting and, of course, fishing. Jean had won championships in rifle shooting in her younger days and the whole family became top shooters. At Stumpy Gully Road Carl was able to put his various skills to work; he was the typical ‘handyman’. Jean enjoyed her garden and loved knitting and indulging in some poetic verse. Both were enthusiastic members of the Hastings Western Port Historical Society. Jean passed away in November 2013 and Carl remained on the property until he was admitted to The Bays in Hastings several months before his death.
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Bank manager accidently shot while examining revolver Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR. Cyril Cameron, 38, manager of the Bank of Australasia at Port Melbourne, visited Frankston last Tuesday, and on Thursday morning it was reported that he had been found in the camp of a contractor named Hodgins, on Humphries Road, about three miles from the town. He was in a pitiable condition, and on examination it was found that he had been shot in the chest. The police had him removed to Frankston, where he was attended by Dr. Maxwell. He explained that he was examining an automatic revolver, when it went off and wounded him in the chest. Mr. Cameron was out throughout Tuesday night’s storm. He is now in Sister Creswick’s private hospital. *** Some discussion having taken place at the last meeting of the Progress Association on the question of the Frankston Park Improvement Scheme and the £2000 loan raised by the Shire Council for that purpose. And believing the general public – who are apparently in the dark – would like to know the exact position, we have made some inquiries, and find the following to be the case. When the Council decided to float a loan of £2000 for the purpose before indicated, they empowered the Shire Engineer, Lieut.-Colonel Lazarus, who is a past master in the art of raising of finances, to at once make the necessary arrangements to secure the loan. Further, he was instructed to prepare plans for the proposed alterations, and general improvements that were
considered necessary. So imbued was the Engineer with the feeling of the necessity of the work being done, that he not only made the necessary arrangements for the loan; but also, at his own home during the evenings, prepared the required plans. When this was completed, and the money was made available, he reported to the Council that all was in readiness. The whole scheme was blocked, however, by one of the Councillors moving that £500 of the loan should be used for improvements to the Cranbourne Road Reserve. It was at once pointed out that the money, having been raised for a specific purpose, must be used for same. However, through the general discussion that followed, and the fact that the matter was not forced to a division, the loan, not being availed of within the time agreed, it consequently lapsed. And while it is quite within the province, and we hope will be decided by the Council to again ask their Engineer to proceed to get the necessary money for the Park Improvement Scheme, we are afraid he will not be able to get it at the same low rate as heretofore. *** THE Misses Craig, with their brother, Mr. Craig, of Wedderburn, who have been enjoying· the salubrious climate here for the past month, are about to take their departure for their home town. Before leaving, however, they all expressed the pleasure they had experienced whilst on their visit.
The Misses Muntz, of Nathalia, who have had an extended holiday in Frankston, are leaving this week for home. They have had a most enjoyable time, the only thing missed by them being a croquet lawn, as at their home they have one laid down and both of these ladies are experts at the game. They also said that when they again visited Frankston they hoped that the suggestion of Mrs. Heymanson had been carried out. This sentiment was also expressed by the Misses Craig. *** THE many friends of Mr. E. P. Davis, of Wells Street, Frankston will regret to hear that his son Roy whilst working at his trade as a cabinet maker, in Melbourne, had the misfortune to cut his left arm so severely with a chisel, necessitating eight stitches being inserted. We understand that so far the injured arm is progressing as well as can be expected. We trust it will soon be quite healed. *** WE regret to hear that Mrs. McComb, wife of Mr. T. McComb, had another bad turn. We sincerely hope that the set back will be only a temporary nature, and the old lady, will soon be about again. *** MR. Lalor, station master, Frankston, is at present on furlough. The relieving officer is Mr. Mulchay. *** MRS. Kitchen, wife of Canon Kitchen, of “St. Paul’s,” Hay, New South Wales, and formerly vicar of Frankston, is at present with her children spending a holiday with

Feldman, Wells Street, Frankston. *** FRANKSTON is indeed honored and favoured in the appointment for the staff of the High School of Miss Broughton, B.A., Dip. Ed., who amongst her many other honors holds the much coveted Distinguished Service Medal of the Royal Life Saving Society. This medal, which was sent to her from London, is the only one held by a woman in the Southern Hemisphere. As a matter of fact, there are only four other women in the British Empire holding it. The public can, therefore, judge the qualifications needed to be its possessor. In addition, Miss Broughton holds the Bronze Medallion, and the Award of Merit of the Society. Last year Miss Broughton’s club, i.e., The Bendigo High School Club, were the winners of the “Lewis Excellence Cup,” for the best ladies’ club, securing 294 points, while the next club, which was a seaside club, gained only 130 points. In addition to this between 80 and 100 of the pupils who have passed through her hands have secured the Bronze Medallion, and another 150 have been awarded the proficiency certificate. With all these honors crowded up on her, Miss Broughton is most unassuming, her whole soul being centred upon the good work she is doing — and, like most people who have rendered good service to humanity, she shrinks from publicity. However, as this information has come to our knowledge, we feel it is only just that the people of the district
— whose children are partly in her care — and others, should also know the calibre of the lady to whom we refer. Further, we understand that numbers of the pupils who have passed through Miss Broughton’s hands are engaged today in profiting by her tuition, and teaching others the art of swimming and life-saving. *** THE Somerville and Mornington tennis match had to he abandoned, owing to thee weather affecting the courts, on Saturday last. *** IN our issue of February 20 we notified the public that the gift of a soprano cornet had been made to the Frankston Band by Lieut.-Colonel Lazarus. Since then, however, we learn that there is quite a history attached to this instrument, which is, in our opinion, well worth repeating. It appears that in the early stages of the war this cornet belonged to the band of a battalion under the command of the gallant colonel, and from then on served its useful purpose on the other side of the world, finally passing into the hands of the aforesaid gentleman, who has now donated it to the band. Whether the experiences it has undergone will enable the operator to produce sweeter music remains to be seen; but we feel that we could not let it come into our midst without the little comment we have made. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 22 Feb 1924

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The Maroon fifth Circle of Hell By Stuart McCullough EVERYONE has a limit. A point beyond which, if pushed, they are destined to break. For some, they stumble across their breaking point when they least expect it. Not me. I know all too well the thing that sends my spirit into freefall, generally eviscerating my will to live. For some it’s the sight of a sodden kitten caught in a rainstorm. Others can’t stand the thought of an impending nuclear holocaust. But, for me at least, it’s the music of Maroon 5. Normally, I’d write something here about ‘not wanting to offend any fans of Maroon 5’. But if I’m being honest, I do. There’s something about their highly-preened soft-rock stylings that gets me completely offside. It’s not that they rub me the wrong way; it’s that the thought of the physical contact necessary to rub me in any direction at all that gives me the heebie-jeebies. It’s music that’s custom-made for carparks and shopping malls. Like Nickelback but with a better haircut and a higher voice. I had rung my internet service provider for the simple reason that I had no internet. The way I see it, they’ve only got one job and they were failing terribly. They weren’t much better at running a call centre. When you ring a call centre, they do everything they can to talk you out of it. The experience begins with a recording, featuring a voice solemnly intoning that wait times are ‘longer than usual’ as a result of a ‘high volume of calls’. If that’s not enough, they then offer you the option of a ‘call back’, so that instead of wasting time on hold, you get to suffer the indignity of them ringing you at the least convenient moment possible. I wasn’t going to give up that easily. I hung on. Then things turned nasty. Without warning, I was put on hold. Generally, hold music falls into two distinct categories – there’s the ‘corporate loop’ message, where a musical tidbit is played incessantly whilst someone who sounds so up-

beat that they must not be on hold tells you all kinds of useless information about the company. These information morsels generally begin with ‘did you know?’ and then tell you that instead of being stuck on hold and visibly ageing as you wait, you could submit your query online instead. Which, of course, would be true if the reason for calling was for something other than the fact of not having any internet. But corporate shoutouts are one thing. What happened to me next was an entirely different level of inanity. As the voiceover segued into music, I was suddenly and unexpectedly confronted by the sounds of ‘She Will be Loved’ by Maroon 5. On a loop. Which, if you’re on hold for the best (or worst) part of forty minutes, is quite the experience. In Dante’s Inferno, some people mistakenly think the fifth circle of hell is wrath, made up of a
swamp. Those people are wrong. The fifth circle of hell consists exclusively of the music of Maroon 5 in all its steaming, sulphuric glory. Ordinarily, if exposed to the music of Maroon 5, I’d take evasive action. If that means jumping from a moving vehicle because ‘Moves Like Jagger’ comes on the radio, so be it. Hot asphalt at twenty miles an hour is still preferable to having to sit through ‘Moves Like Jagger’. But this time there was nowhere to jump to that wouldn’t cost me my place in the queue. After what seemed like and may well have been an eternity, I was put through to someone who gave me ten different versions of ‘have you tried turning it off and on again?’ After an exhaustive exchange that included everything from trying to reset the modem using a paper clip, to jumping up and down on one leg and chanting, I was no closer to having internet.
I’ll admit I was cranky. When the very cheery person on the other end of the line asked whether I had any feedback, I took my chance. First of all, I checked to make sure that our call was being recorded for quality and training purposes. When he confirmed it was, I unloaded. I told him in no uncertain terms that leaving people on hold and making them listen to the same soft rock song repeatedly was not so much ‘customer service’ as it was a calculated attempt to punish anyone foolish enough to ring for help. There was an awkward silence, before a gentle ‘click’. Our time together was over. It’s an awkward age we live in. One where corporate behemoths are so desperate for your approval that every interaction – no matter how minor – warrants a customer satisfaction survey. Mine arrived about thirty seconds later. If you’re the fire department, you’re unlikely to issue a satisfaction survey whilst someone’s house is still on fire. Similarly, internet companies should avoid sending surveys that beg you to tell them how awesome they are whilst you still have no internet to speak of. Not even Maroon 5 would do something that silly. It took some time, but I now have internet again. That means I’m finally in a position to submit an online query to my internet provider to ask why my internet isn’t working, even though it is. I could always say that I was asking for a friend. And whilst I sailed through my internet-less life easily enough, due in large part to the fact that I’ve refused to get rid of my DVDs, the soft rock stylings of Maroon 5 now haunt me in my dreams. In fact, things are now so bad that I commonly avoid closing my eyes altogether, just to be sure that the gentle strains of ‘She Will Be Love’ doesn’t devour me as I sleep. Consider it lesson learned – never ring a help line. Instead, from this point on I’ll make all my complaints by telegram. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Long Island wins a thriller, Pirates hold on wrapped up a win over Carrum Downs without too much trouble.
By Brodie Cowburn
PROVINCIAL
LONG Island held on for a thrilling win over Sorrento last Saturday. Long Island scored 272 runs on day one, giving the Sharks a tough task to tackle on day two. After a few early struggles, middle order batter Matthew Rulach took control of the game. Rulach smashed 103 runs from 151 balls for the Sharks to keep them in the contest. Jake Wood’s late half-century also kept them in the hunt. The game ended up going down to the final over. With one run required to draw level with four balls left to face, Sorrento lost their final wicket. Matt Shimell was the match-winner for Long Island. He took five wickets. Red Hill wrapped up a hard-fought four wicket win over Pines on Saturday. At Bruce Park, a century by opener Nathan Cassano couldn’t prevent Heatherhill from falling to defeat against Old Peninsula. Heatherhill were valiant in defeat, scoring 313 runs. They were chasing a target of 329. Langwarrin comfortably beat Baden Powell by 105 runs last weekend on their home deck.
PENINSULA
MT ELIZA picked up an outright win over Seaford Tigers last weekend. The Tigers were bowled out for just 78 on day one, which Mt Eliza chased down with ease. Mt Eliza declared on day two at 8/181 with an outright win

in their sights. The Tigers’ second innings started disastrously. They lost skipper Brayden Roscoe for a golden duck, and couldn’t recover. The Tigers were bowled out for 77, dooming them to defeat. Tom Baron was the pick of the bowlers on Saturday. He took 4/20 from 20 overs. Somerville's victory over Moo-
rooduc was confirmed on Saturday. Dromana and Rosebud picked up wins over Mornington and Baxter respectively.
DISTRICT
BALNARRING have batted well to grab a win over Flinders. Balnarring was chasing a score of 193 to win at BA Cairns Reserve on Saturday. Helped by a patient half-
century from opener Darcy Warmbrunn, Balnarring were able to reach their target in the middle of the day’s play. Jackson Hannah top scored for his side to get them over the line. The number six batter scored 60 of Balnarring’s runs. Seaford and Crib Point comfortably beat Delacombe Park and Main Ridge respectively last weekend. Carrum
BONEO were in good form on Saturday, claiming a five wicket win over Frankston YCW. The Stonecats set Boneo a target of 255 to chase down on day one. Boneo proved up to the task. Openers Samson Storey and Chris Jobling scored 52 and 81 respectively last Saturday. Their good starts set Boneo on the right path to a final total of 5/263. It took Boneo most of the day, but they managed to beat the Stonecats with time to spare. Mt Martha bowled well to defend their total of 216 against Tootgarook last Saturday. After a strong start on day two, Tootgarook lost 5 wickets for 15 runs. They couldn’t recover, and ended up falling to an 85 run defeat. Mt Martha skipper Ben Stallworthy impressed - he posted figures of 5/21 from 10 overs. Pearcedale, Tyabb, and Skye were victors over Ballam Park, Hastings, and Rye respectively.

’Buds make play for Greening SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie ONE of the greatest goalscorers in Victorian football history could be on the verge of a sensational comeback if a plan hatched months ago by Rosebud comes to fruition. When Stuart Johnston and assistant Stan Packer took over as senior coaches they identified a need to add to the team’s firepower. Johnson knew Nathan Yole from their days at Mornington while Packer was a long-term friend of Dave Greening and given that both forwards had joined forces at Baxter a couple of years ago it seemed logical to try and revive their partnership. The first part of the plan dropped neatly into place last week when Yole signed and the second part could fit smoothly alongside it on Thursday when Greening trains with the senior squad. Greening’s impact on senior competition at varying State League levels can’t be overstated given his remarkable haul of nine league Golden Boot awards. The last time he kicked a ball in anger was against Endeavour United at Reema Reserve on Saturday 4 June 2022 and it looked as though the story of his playing days would have a horror ending. Greening had to be helped off in the first half and later taken to hospital after a reckless and dangerous challenge left him with a fractured cheekbone. “I’d hate to finish my playing career on that memory from Endeavour,” Greening said. “Look I was probably 50:50 about playing again but it’s more like 80:20 now and I’d like the chance to finish up on my terms rather than have someone knock my cheekbone out of place.” Greening is now 42 and has a threeyear-old son Alfie with partner Emma. He has been a physical education and classroom teacher at Boneo Primary School for over a decade. He took up athletics again last year having competed at county level when growing up in England and his return at masters’ level reaped spectacular results winning gold medals at state championships. Greening recently won three gold medals at the New Zealand Masters Games in Dunedin. But it’s his pending return to playing ranks that looks certain to cause a stir at Olympic Park and beyond. No doubt Rosebud fans are hoping that opposition defenders are soon to

be taught a lesson they will never forget. In VPL1 Langwarrin and Eastern Lions shared the spoils after Friday night’s 0-0 stalemate at Lawton Park. Both goalkeepers were among their team’s best with Keegan Coulter to the fore in the first half and Langwarrin counterpart James Burgess making some excellent reaction saves in the second half. Lions were a far different proposition to the previous week’s visitors Bentleigh Greens and represented a genuine attacking threat through South African-born left winger Deandre Vollenhoven, Barbados international Omani Leacock and right winger Nathan Stamatelos. In the 13th minute Coulter was forced to parry a shot on the turn from Langy striker Archie Macphee. Langy livewire Tom Youngs was prominent and three minutes from half-time his corner was met by Brad Blumenthal whose glancing header was saved on the line by Coulter and eventually cleared. In the final minute of the half Vollenhoven cut the ball back from the left of the box to Leacock who blew the best chance so far by blasting well over the bar. Two minutes into the second period a Stamatelos free-kick struck the wall and Vollenhoven’s volley lobbed over Burgess but Luke Adams headed off the line.

Lions created the better chances in this half but Burgess parried a closerange strike from Lions sub Nick Koutsoubos. In the 69th minute Vollenhoven broke through the middle then neatly played in substitute Davut Tahir on the left but he dwelt on the ball and his eventual shot was blocked. This Saturday Langwarrin will play its third consecutive home match when it hosts North Geelong at Lawton Park at 7pm after the under-23s’ curtain raiser. In State 3 news Frankston Pines midfielder Calvin Delaney had to be stretchered off just three minutes into Saturday’s friendly against Bundoora United at Hillsview Reserve. The club reports that Delaney injured an ankle and “will be in a race against time to make the season opener.” Pines have signed 27-year-old central defender Ben Philips who is a former Mazenod player returning after a break from the sport. Pines will kick-off their 2024 league campaign by hosting Middle Park under lights on Friday 22 March and hope to play all their home games under lights on Fridays. In State 4 news Baxter has signed its first Japanese player while another is trialling. Last week 20-year-old Kennusuke Kameshima, a right-sided full back or winger from Okinawa-based amateur
club Chatan, agreed terms. “‘Kenni’ is technically excellent, has a great first touch with a good range of passing and like most Japanese players I have encountered has an unbelievable work rate,” Baxter head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor said. In Football Victoria news the state body announced last week that all its clubs had made the deadline to arrange payment of outstanding fees. Previously FV had claimed that clubs owed just over $2 million and threatened to suspend non-financial clubs from competition. However FV is yet to publicly announce that the oldest club in Victoria has withdrawn from competition. South Yarra was formed in 1928 and 96 years later the club has withdrawn from State League competition a week after forfeiting its Dockerty Cup tie with Mount Eliza. South Yarra is based at Fawkner Park and was competing in State 3 South-East which will now consist of 11 teams next season. South Yarra will continue to run a junior program and a women’s program as well as fielding teams in the Metropolitan Leagues. In other news iconic Frankston Pines figure Tommy Mitchell is the new team manager of Casey Comets. Mitchell has had various roles at Pines since joining the club in 1970 among them ground manager, team manager and committeeman.
He is a life member at Monterey Reserve and Pines’ scoreboard is named in his honour. Comets gaffer and former Pines player Billy Armour was delighted by Mitchell’s appointment. “He’s one of the best signings I’ve made this season,” Armour said. “His experience will be invaluable.” Meanwhile a unique event takes place at 11am on Saturday when Steve Keenan’s Wild Rovers take on touring Czech Republic side TJ Ostrovan at North Seaford Reserve. Seaford’s senior coach Paul Williams and assistant Steve Keenan play for Wild Rovers which were formed in 2009 and consist of former players with an average age of 50. The team regularly competes in fivea-side competitions and has been successful in Victoria and interstate. Here are the results of some friendlies involving local clubs: Casey Panthers 1 Chelsea 4 (James Stinson 3, Adam Bartosy), Somerville Eagles 3 (Ben Schmidt, Tom Simmons, Corey Riddle) Lilydale Montrose Utd 0, Mount Martha 0 Mentone 2 (Marcus Spivey, Chris Gibson); Lyndale Utd 3 Rosebud 2 (Ethan Hunt, triallist); Nunawading City 1 Mornington 4 (Rory Currie 3, Rhys Craigie); Corio 2 Peninsula Strikers 2 (Wayne Gordon 2); Gippsland Utd 4 Skye Utd 1 (Riley Gill); Bundoora Utd 3 Frankston Pines 2 (Cassius Delaney 2); Baxter 2 (Ryan Brown, Keegan Myatt) Sandringham 1; Seaford Utd 6 (Josh Vega 3, Backy Barakzoi, Mitch Hawkins, own goal) Boronia 1.
