Learning about, and respecting, our past REMEMBRANCE Day has always been a significant event at Somerville Rise Primary School – as proven by the strong showing at the assembly on Friday 9 November. “Over the years classes have made poppies and pupils have sought to learn more about the war and the sacrifices made by our soldiers,” senior school teacher Bernadette Gray said. “For as long as anyone can remember, the classrooms have always fallen silent for two minutes as a mark of respect and remembrance, with an assembly and small service is held to mark the occasion.” But the work around Remembrance Day was not always obvious to members of the wider community who don’t walk through the busy classrooms or colourful corridors. So, last year the school started its first small “poppy field” on the hill at the front as a visible mark of respect to those who fought and lost their lives. Every pupil made and planted a poppy as part of their learning. “We had a wonderful response to the idea and our flourishing field of poppies is a display that all generations of Somerville can look upon with a sense of pride and community,” Ms Gray said.

Peninsula boat ramps in disarray, says fishing body Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE Futurefish Foundation has slammed the standard of Mornington Peninsula’s boat ramps as a shambles. And it has called on the major political parties to remove the management of boat ramps away from the Mornington Peninsula Shire, as well as the multitude of committees of management, which “claim to look after the smaller boat ramps”. The foundation says it is

“time for the management of all the peninsula’s boat ramps to be brought under one single boat ramp authority”. Futurefish Foundation director David Kramer came out swinging last week, saying: “It is a joke having the Rye boat ramp under reconstruction while Tootgarook and Tyrone ramps are inoperable, leaving no launching facilities between Safety Beach and Sorrento. “It is hard to understand how this situation can be occurring in mid-November’s prime time snapper season.”

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Mr Kramer, who also hosts the Channel 31 TV show Talking Fishing, was joined live on air by Premier Daniel Andrews who chose the fishing show as his only “live” television appearance in the state election campaign. He announced on air that if Labor was re-elected he would create a standalone boat ramp authority. He also promised to abolish boat ramp launching and parking fees on the Mornington Peninsula. Mr Kramer told panellists on the show: “It astounds us that the Morning-

ton Peninsula Shire is reconstructing Rye boat ramp during November and [yet] didn’t call on the Capel Sound or Whitecliffs-to-Camerons-Bight committees of management to have their nearby boat ramps ready to take the increased traffic while the Rye boat ramp was out of operation”. “With the Tootgarook boat ramp closed for dredging that should have been done months ago. And the Tyrone boat ramp, which the local committee-of-management has neglected to maintain for several years now, is

also inoperable. “This is an absolute disgrace and a total disrespect for boat owners that the Mornington Peninsula’s ramps are in this situation.” The Futurefish Foundation boss said it was “most excited that Daniel Andrews will pull the Mornington Peninsula’s boat ramps away from the shire and the committees and get the ramps open, maintained and fully operational, for the thousands of boat owners who use these facilities”.

Shire fears for police numbers in holiday crush

A privilege: New mayor Cr David Gill and his deputy Cr Rosie Clark. Picture: Supplied

New man at the helm RED Hill Ward’s Cr David Gill has succeeded Cr Bryan Payne as mayor of Mornington Peninsula Shire for 2018-19. He was elected at the annual council meeting on Monday 12 November. Briars Ward’s Cr Rosie Clark was elected as his deputy mayor. Cr Gill in his acceptance speech said it was a “privilege” to be appointed and thanked his councillor colleagues for their confidence and support.

“The Mornington Peninsula is such a beautiful and unique part of Victoria,” he said. “My focus will be on continuing council’s strong advocacy on Green Wedge preservation and planning issues to ensure the unique character of the Mornington Peninsula is well protected. “I look forward to working closely and openly with our local community towards having an accountable and transparent council.”

The mayor was congratulated by Cr Payne who said it had been an “honour to guide the council and to serve the peninsula as mayor”. “When I was elected mayor I compared the position to that of an orchestra conductor. I now hand that baton over to Cr Gill,” he said. “My time as mayor would not have been such a success without the support of all my councillor colleagues. I thank them for bestowing upon me such an honour.”

By Steve Taylor MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council is concerned about a potential shortage of police over the busy holiday period. New mayor Cr David Gill last week flagged his intention to hold “positive discussions with senior police and the government after the state election (Saturday 24 November) to ensure that adequate police numbers will be allocated to the Mornington Peninsula over summer”. This follows claims that police could be understaffed and unable to cope with an emergency situation. “Over the Christmas holiday period the population on the Mornington Peninsula explodes almost overnight: from 163,000 to 225,000-250,000 people,” Cr Gill said. “On top of this, the area is visited by an extremely large number of day trippers. Such a great influx puts a lot of demand on all emergency services.” Cr Gill said police and all the emergency services on the peninsula were at “the very heart of community safety”. “Ensuring adequate numbers of police are available at this period is vital – not only for community

safety but also for the safety of our police officers and other emergency personnel.” A 20-year police veteran last week expressed fears the peninsula was facing a “desperate shortage of frontline police” over the holiday period, (“Police stretched in holiday crush” The News 13/11/2018). The officer, who The News did not name, criticised deployment numbers, particularly at Rosebud police station, saying its nominal complement of 60 police has been drastically cut by WorkCover issues, days off after night shift, leave and the usual four days off per fortnight. These had reduced actual numbers by more than half. Compounding the problem was the allocation of 12 trainees to the station which was “burning out senior constables”. Superintendent Adrian White, who oversees the Mornington Peninsula’s policing operations, refuted claims of a dearth of police. “There is no shortage of police on the Mornington Peninsula,” he said. “We task to suit demand and we have the numbers to adequately police the region over the holiday period. “There is no crisis.”

Introducing our 2018/19 Mayor and Deputy Mayor We’re delighted to introduce Red Hill Ward Councillor David Gill as newly elected Mayor of Mornington Peninsula Shire, and Briars Ward Councillor Rosie Clark as Deputy Mayor, following our Annual Council Meeting on Monday 12 November. Mayor Gill succeeds outgoing Mayor Councillor Bryan Payne, who describes his 2017/18 term as an honour and likens the position of Mayor to that of an orchestra conductor. He now hands the proverbial baton over to Mayor Gill. Mayor Gill is a passionate advocate for the Mornington Peninsula, believing it to be an especially beautiful and unique part of Victoria, and is committed to continuing Council’s focus upon advocating for Green Wedge preservation and planning to ensure the distinct character of our region is well protected for future generations. Following years of involvement with local community groups, Mayor Gill is enthusiastic about working closely and openly with the community to engender an accountable and transparent Council.

Four to contest Hastings in state election FOUR candidates will contest the seat of Hastings held by Liberal Neale Burgess since 2006 and re-elected in 2010 and 2014 with a 9.6 per cent margin. They are Nathan Lesslie, Greens, Simon Meyer, ALP, Neale Burgess, Liberal, and Georgia Knight, Animal Justice Party. Ms Knight is the only female candidate in the three Mornington Peninsula seats.

Nathan Lesslie Greens

NATHAN lives on the Mornington Peninsula with my wife and two daughters. As a social worker in the non-profit sector he helps others to reach their potential. He believes the current system is unfair and wants to create a fairer, more equal and social justice Australia with a quality environment. Most wealth is held by a minority in a system forged by the wealthy for themselves. Who has been reaping the benefit of Australia’s strong financial growth? Not the families who need help to feed their children. Some who can afford an investment property can pays less tax than poor people. Nathan says private schooling segregates our children based on their parents’ wealth. People who cannot afford private health wait longer for surgery, which is fair. The disadvantaged need a voice. Those working on Manus Island cannot speak out about child abuse. As a mandatory reporter, Nathan is legally required to speak out – a double standard where one person’s life is

valued more than another’s.

Simon Meyer ALP

SIMON was born in Hastings and has lived and worked here all his life. He served in the Navy as a submariner and has completed an Advanced Diploma in Business Accounting at Chisholm Institute of TAFE and studied psychiatric nursing at Monash University. He has volunteered in Nepal, Vietnam and Namibia with OzQuest, or Aussie Action Abroad, and received a Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. He is a member of the CFA, and enjoys scuba diving, sailing, bike riding, and bee-keeping. Simon supports women’s rights and equal pay. He campaigns against domestic violence. He is proud of the state government’s initiatives,

train and travel to the city. In the next line upgrade trains will go through to Stony Point to meet the ferry. The community has called for this project for years: only the Coalition has put up the $225 million for it. AGL plans for a regasification plant at Crib Point will impact heavily on residents and present a major challenge to the Western Port community. It’s the thin edge of the wedge: once it is built we will not be able to stop any future toxic industry. Because of Crib Point’s location, future industrial proposals, such as bitumen or urea plants, will also mean continuous B-double trucks through towns day and night. Industry experts say it will not produce local jobs. A Liberal government will stop AGL’s Crib Point proposal.

GEORGIA lives in Hastings and loves the community feeling that the Mornington Peninsula provides. She is passionate about improving the rights of animals, and spends her free time organising the local Anonymous for the Voiceless chapter and participating in events that support animal liberation. Georgia works as an Auslan interpreter and at a local skincare company on the peninsula. She loves that her work provides the freedom and time to be able to be an advocate for the animals. The four values of the Animal Justice Party are always at the forefront of her mind: Kindness, Non-Violence, Rationality and Equality. She is thrilled to be running as an Animal Justice Party candidate and would like to see the urgent establishment of an independent animal protection agency and an end to duck shooting.

A LIBERAL government will bring city trains to within 10 minutes’ drive of Hastings and five minutes of Somerville – a game changer for our community. The electrification and duplication of the Stony Point Line means we will be able to drive to Baxter, board a

Employees volunteer for French Island environmental planting day A GROUP of Esso employees from the Long Island Point plant have spent a day on French island planting more than 200 trees and grasses with the French Island Landcare Group. Representatives from Landcare Australia, Bass Coast Landcare Network and Friends of French Island also attended.

The plants were propagated by the French Island Landcare group at the nursery on the Island. Their volunteer efforts contributed to a larger project funded by Esso through the Gippsland Basin joint venture landcare grants. These aim to protect and enhance an existing area of remnant vegetation

adjacent to a roadside vegetation corridor link on French Island. “Our Day of Caring tree-planting project provided a valuable opportunity for our team to have a continued, positive impact on the environment near to our local operations,” LIP plant manager David McCord said.

Many hands: ESSO employees and representatives of Landcare Australia, Bass Coast Landcare Network and Friends of French Island believe the plantings generated a ‘positive impact’. Picture: ExxonMobil Australia

Cruza earning his keep at pound IF it’s a case of horses for courses then Cruza is on the right track … He is proving his worth at the shire’s animal shelter in Watt Road by keeping the grass in the paddocks down. The gentle giant, who was rescued by the RSPCA after being found suffering from “extreme malnutrition”, was taken to the pound several months ago. Environment Protection manager John Rankine said Cruza was being housed under the shire’s Lost Livestock Register – the same as for cats and dogs. “Cruza the horse has been a great experience for the shelter and our rangers,” Mr Rankine said. “He was listed on the ‘Lost’ register for the required time but, unfortunately, no one has come to claim him.” Staff members are keen to bring Cruza back into tip top condition and will continue looking after him until he can be rehomed.

as a preventative measure for the upcoming summer months.” To be fire ready, the CFA and the shire encourage all residents to have a bushfire plan for their family and property.

Local groups share Peninsula Quarries environment grants CRIB Point Community Garden, Somerville Rise Primary School and Somerville Fire Brigade are the first groups to share in the annual community grant of $5000 from Peninsula Quarries. The grants go to community groups in the Somerville, Tyabb and Mornington areas for projects supporting the environment. Crib Point Community Garden will receive $1750 for a 4000-litre water

tank. This will enable environmentally responsible watering of the garden which provides fresh food for welfare groups. Somerville Rise Primary School will receive $2245 for environmental learning hub The Barn which teaches pupils about sustainability and environment issues. Somerville Fire Brigade will receive $1000 towards an electronic LED messaging board outside its Eramosa Road East head-

quarters. This will promote community events and assist with warnings and restrictions during emergency events.

Sign of the times: Burgess says ‘No AGL’ HASTINGS MP Neale Burgess has made clear his opposition to AGL’s plans to import gas via Crib Point with the placing of a large sign at Crib Point. With just six days to Saturday’s poll his picture adorns this large billboard on the corner of Stony Point Road and Disney Street, opposite the service station. “We appreciate Neale’s support for the Crib Point community in our battle to stop AGL’s major gas importation facility,” Save Westernport spokesperson Julia Stockigt said. “We hope that Neale also understands the fragility of the Westernport environment and opposes other port plans for Western Port, which would endanger our marine life. “The former state Liberal government of Denis Napthine supported plans for a massive container port north of Hastings. “The port proposal would destroy about four kilometres of coastline and dredge at least 20 million cubic metres of shallow channels and mudflats to accommodate the massive container ships.”

Happy snap earmarked for posterity

Alpine everlasting in bloom. Picture: Supplied

Talks on alpine plants, threats AUSTRALIAN alpine and subalpine plants, and the threats posed by sambar deer, are subjects to be discussed at a Cranbourne Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens half-day workshop, 9:30am for a 10am-1pm, Sunday 25 November. It’s being held at the Australian Garden Auditorium, Cranbourne Gardens, corner Ballarto Road and Botanic Drive, Cranbourne. In the first session Neville Walsh, senior conservation botanist at the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, will provide an overview of High Country flora. Then, Megan Hirst will speak on alpine daisies. She is a seed bank officer for the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. Later, horticulturalists Broni Swartz and Matt Henderson will reveal plans for displaying subalpine plants in the

Australian Garden at Cranbourne in the section Subalpine Plants in the Australian Gardens – Current and Future. Rounding off, Zac Walker will look at the impacts of sambar deer on alpine plant communities on the Bogong High Plains. He is a research officer at the Research Centre for Applied Alpine Ecology, Latrobe University. The workshop is an opportunity to learn about the High Country, particularly for those joining the Cranbourne Friends’ six-day Hotham Wildflowers Discovery Tour in January. The cost is $30 members; $40 non-members and $15 students. Bookings are essential at rbgfriendscranbourne.org.au or email bookings@rbgfriendscranbourne. org.au

By Stephen Taylor A CHARMING photograph of a Mt Martha grandfather and his granddaughter marching in the Mornington Anzac Day parade last year has been chosen as the 100 Years of Repatriation stamp. And recognition of the photographs’s quality and relevance to the theme has given Mornington amateur photographer Peta Heffernan one of the greatest thrills of her life and created a bond between them that will last a lifetime. Her picture of decorated veteran Major Alec Weaver, 98, and Able Seaman Liz McCallum, taken in Main Street, was released nation-wide last month as an Australia Post stamp and postcard representing 100 years of Repatriation. The issue of repatriation was raised at the end of World War I when Australian Prime Minister Billy Hughes promised that all surviving servicemen would be brought home and cared for. That centenary milestone came as we commemorated the 100th anniversary of the end of the Great War on 11 November. Ms Heffernan’s picture was first published in the Navy News last year but its significance was recognised by the Department of Veterans Affairs who saw it on Ms Heffernan’s social media. They liaised with her and Australia Post to create the stamp and the image is now part of history. “It’s been one of my proudest moments as a photographer,” said Ms Heffernan, who admits it is a “very expensive hobby”. “Alec and Liz absolutely adore each other,” she said. “He is her greatest hero.” It is not hard to see why: Major

Fashionable

Weaver’s wartime exploits are the stuff of legend. Born in Germany he was a member of the Hitler Youth. Visiting Australia at the outbreak of World War II he joined Australian mates who were enlisting in the AIF and saw service in New Guinea. Despite harrowing ordeals and official queries on his bona fides, he obtained Australian citizenship and later served in Vietnam and Korea, where he was wounded and honoured for his gallantry. Fluent in German and Japanese he later joined ASIO and served as a spy for 15 years before teaching Japanese at a Mornington school. Ms Heffernan said she inherited a love of the craft through her mother, Marita, who was a wedding photographer in Mornington for many years before passing away 14 years ago. Another passion is photographing water fun for members of the Disabled Surfers’ Association, which often visits Pt Leo.

Boat ramps become political

Ramping it up: Futurefish director David Kramer, left, with co-hosts Adam Ring and Steve Threlfall, Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford and Premier Daniel Andrews, right, discussing the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s management of boat ramps. Picture: Supplied

Continued From Page 1 Daniel Andrews’ spokesperson Chris Piper later confirmed a reelected state Labor government would “review the management of boating infrastructure in Port Phillip Bay and Western Port”. “This work will be done in direct consultation with recreational fishing and boating stakeholders with a view to establishing a dedicated boating infrastructure authority,” he said. “We will also abolish all boat ramp parking and launching fees as part of our plan to reform boat ramp management in Port Phillip Bay and Western Port.” The mayor Cr David Gill asked

the Future Fish Foundation “why it thought the state government was capable of doing a better job” in managing the boat ramps. “It’s much harder to get money out of them and DELWP (the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning) is the worst department to get in contact with.” Cr Gill agreed the shire should make an effort to be better coordinated with other bodies, such as the various committees-of-management. “If this is what has happened we should have done better,” he said. “These sorts of things annoy everybody.”

FUTUREFISH Foundation director David Kramer last week took aim at the Liberal candidate for Nepean, Russell Joseph (pictured) , saying her “seems to be sitting back disinterested in the boat ramp situation”. This comes after the foundation blasted the standard of the Mornington Peninsula’s boat ramps, saying they were a “shambles”. “Mr Joseph has a safe seat and doesn’t really need to show concern for the thousands of boat owners on the peninsula,” Mr Kramer said. “His seat in state parliament is being handed to him on a platter.” Mr Kramer said Mr Joseph had never taken an interest in camping, fishing or boating – “activities that are so important to visitors and locals of the Mornington Peninsula”. “Russell recently stood by [Nepean MP] Martin Dixon in trying to triple the camp fees on the peninsula, and he is happy to see residents and visitors pay exorbitant boat launching fees that just feed the council coffers.” But Mr Joseph hit back: “Contrary to misinformed claims by Mr Kramer, the Liberal Nationals Government will create a Blue Infrastructure Fund to provide first-class infrastructure and services for recreational water users, like more boat ramps, jetties, navigational lighting as well as onshore facilities, such as bigger car parks and cleaning tables. “It is Labor which forces Victorian boat users to pay $27.7 million in fees to the state government each year with only a meagre portion of those fees being invested into better infrastructure and services for water users. “Mr Kramer always prefers to protect his Labor mates and ‘big note’ himself rather than stand up to this injustice foisted on the boating community across Victoria.” He said the Blue Infrastructure Fund would “return all proceeds of collected boating fees into improving the facilities for the boating community”. “The Liberals … will provide the investment in boating and foreshore infrastructure we desperately need in Nepean.”

Police patrol

with Steve Taylor

Charges over paramedic’s injuries A SOMERVILLE man has been charged with allegedly assaulting an off-duty female paramedic in a road rage incident in Bungower Road, Thursday 1 November. The man, 21, allegedly started following the 23-year-old when she flashed her headlights at him after he “cut her off”. Police will allege that when the woman parked her car, the man approached and smashed her window and kicked her side mirror. He is then alleged to have punched her in the face and struck her with a can of deodorant. The woman, who was in uniform, suffered facial injuries, including a broken eye socket. She is yet to learn if she will have to undergo surgery. Detective Senior Sergeant Alan Paxton, of Mornington Peninsula CIU, said the man left the scene but was later apprehended at Frankston. He faced Frankston Magistrates’ Court the next day charged with assaulting an emergency worker and intentionally causing serious injury, as well as possessing cannabis and a controlled weapon. He was remanded in custody to reappear at the same court at a later date.

Police allege the 29-year-old evaded police in Carrum Downs before being chased along Nepean Highway and into Kunyung Road. The driver, who was on bail, was charged with drug-related offences and appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court the same day. He has been further remanded to a later date.

Police K9 sniffs out teen suspect at Hastings

POLICE Dog Squad member Fargo put his nose to the ground and tracked down a 15-year-old Hastings youth after two houses were allegedly broken into at Hastings, Tuesday night 13 November. Several police units converged on the area about 1.15am after reports of break-ins and began a lengthy search. Fargo tracked the youth after he was seen disappearing into nearby bushland. Another youth was not found. After covering some distance during his “track”, and having earned a

break, the Somerville Highway Patrol nightshift unit gave him a lift back to his vehicle.

Woman runs into back of truck A TYABB woman heading home after nightshift was taken to hospital with minor injuries after she ran into the back of a stationary truck in Coolart Road, between Mornington-Tyabb Road and Bungower Road, early Wednesday 7 November. The driver of the truck was waiting to turn right before the collision. Leading Senior Constable Greg Wolfe said it only takes a momentary break in concentration for things to go wrong. Please drive safely.

Stolen car in crime spree POLICE are investigating a series of ram raids in a stolen car in the Somerville area. The 2004 silver Ford ute

was stolen from a house in Bellary Lane, Langwarrin, 5.30am, Wednesday 7 November. A man broke into a shed and stole tools as well as the keys to the car before driving it away. The next burglary was at Woodleigh School, Frankston South, overnight Thursday 8 November when the ute was reversed into a shed door and tools stolen. The ute was then spotted in Simcox Street, Somerville, where the driver attempted two more ram raids. Both were unsuccessful. Police are searching for a man described as 183cm, thin build, wearing dark clothes and white runners. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Road rage on freeway MORNINGTON detectives are investigating a suspected road rage punchup on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway, Wednesday 14 November. A Rye man driving a Holden Commodore reportedly clashed with two

men in a Mercedes sedan, one of Taylors Hill and the other of Sunshine North, after they pulled over into the emergency lane opposite the Safety Beach Country Club, 6.20am. After the incident the Rye man was taken to the Frankston Hospital but was expected to be released late last week. The others were treated at the scene. The three men are believed to know each other. Police later charged the men in the Mercedes with assault and drugrelated offences. One was remanded in custody and the other bailed. They will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date. The Rye man is said to be assisting police with their inquiries. Anyone who witnessed the incident or has dash-cam footage is asked to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Car found on fire A WHITE Toyota Landcruiser was set alight on Tyabb-Tooradin Road, 3am, Sunday 11 November. Mornington Peninsula CIU is investigating.

Not home alone A CAPEL Sound man awoke to find a man standing in his hallway, 4.30am, Wednesday 7 November. Senior Sergeant Alan Paxton, of Mornington Peninsula CIU, said the man chased the burglar from the Florence Avenue house. After a confrontation in the front garden the man escaped. Nothing was stolen. He is said to be 183cm. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

THE HIDDEN GEM

HAIL TO THE KING

LOCATED in private and leafy Bittern, this enchanting property is set upon a 7243 square metre block and offers something for everybody with oodles of charm thrown in for good measure.

The lovely master bedroom has a massive walk in robe and the ensuite features a double vanity, oversized shower and a spa bath that looks out to the picturesque garden. Other excellent features to the home include split system air-conditioning plus ducted heating and evaporative cooling, and in addition to the main bathroom is a separate laundry also with toilet, vanity and shower.

SET in the heart of town, this attractive Victorian era home - built about 1892 - is on a large 993 square metre block adorned with fantastic gardens and excellent outbuildings. Beautifully restored throughout, the home boasts all the hallmarks of the period with lovely high ceilings and baltic pine floorboards; there are several open fire places and a wrap around verandah. Branching off from the wide central hallway are three grand bedrooms, that provide excellent space, and a formal lounge that features a chandelier and ornate cornices.

Other amenities include a staff room with kitchenette and storeroom, plus there are eight car parks on-site.n

A RARE corner development site along Mornington-Tyabb Road, at the intersection of Virginia Street, is being offered to the market by tender. The prime spot has a land area of about 2827 square metres, with a 56 metre frontage to Tyabb Road and a vast 76 metre frontage to Virginia Street. The dual access provides plenty of options for developers wanting flexibility, and for owner occupiers looking to build purpose-built facilities (STCA). The property has a fantastic location in one of the peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best industrial areas with close proximity to Nepean Highway and Peninsula Link. The property is leased on a monthly basis and will be sold as a going concern.n

Just for laughs: Austen Tayshus will entertain audiences at the Hastings Club this Friday. Picture: Supplied

Comedian still tickles nation’s funny bone AUSTRALIA’S “most dangerous and subversive comedian” Austen Tayshus (aka Sandy Gutman) insists he just wants to shake things up a little ... Forty years after his hit record “Australiana” made him a household name he’s still touring the country to entertain, and provoke, a new generation of fans. Tayshus will play the Hastings Club, 155 Marine Parade, Hastings, on Friday 23 November in a show guaranteed to stir emotions and laughter. Speaking to The News this week he said his shows thrived on topicality and audience participation. “They are more improvised at the moment, awash with multi-culturalism and innuendo,” he said.

“I come up with the germ of an idea on stage and develop it and the audience gets involved and it goes from there.” What about political correctness? “No problem there,” he said. “My shows remain within strict parameters. They are more of a talk fest – like politics – in which I take comments and interjections from the audience and turn it back on them.” Whether he’s on stage for 12 hours – or 52 hours – he can’t be sure of anything except that his audiences “get very good value for money”. Tayshus still does 100 shows a year proving that everyone loves a laugh – even more so if they can identify with the performer whose signature hit all those years ago still holds the Australian record for the most singles sold.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Demand for better roads for the peninsula

FEW districts in Victoria have been so much neglected as the Mornington Peninsula, more especially the hilly country situated towards the southern end, and known as Red Hill. The costal strip, in which are the favorite seaside resorts of Flinders, Cape Schanck, Dromana, Rye and Sorrento, is familiar to tourists and holiday makers, but the central district is still practically unknown. It is a picturesque country, possessing a fertile soil and an equitable climate. Late frosts are rarely experienced, and the district is particularly suitable for orchards and root crops. Strawberry culture is carried on extensively allottments of not more than 20 acres yield a comfortable living, but thousands of acres are undeveloped. The main reason given for this backward state of affairs is that there is not a decent road traversing the hilly country. Recognising the possibilities of this section of the Peninsula, the Country Roads Board has recently taken over, under the Development Roads Act, more than 30 miles of road in the shire of Flinders. These roads will intersect the district in all directions, and the council is to push on with their construction. Tenders have already been called for sections, and these are the forerunner of larger contracts which will be let as soon as the necessary preliminary work has been completed. *** ON Saturday last a number of returned soldiers were entertained in the Frankston Mechanics’ hall, by members of the Wattle Club. *** OUR readers are reminded of a grand

concert to be held in the Langwarrin Recreation Hall this (Saturday) evening, in aid of Langwarrin North State School Flower Day Repatriation Fund. Admission 1s; children half price. *** ATTENTION is directed to an advertisement in another column of Gus St Leons circus, which will appear in Frankston Friday night next. The merits of this splendid combination are well known, and can be recommended as a very fine entertainment. *** THE Hon. Treasurer Roll of Honor gratefully acknowledges receipt of the following additional donations: Mrs M. B. Garrood (part proceeds raffle) £2 10s ; Mrs M. R. Deane, £1 1s; Half proceeds Peace Celebration £5 2s 3d ; Collection Thanksgiving service, £6 8s 10d. *** THE first meeting of the executive of the Repatriation committee was held at the Mechanics on November 18th, the following gentlemen being present: Crs Oates, Mason, Hoare, and Messrs Ritchie, Hartland, Gray, and Dr Plowman. Cr Oates was avoted to the chair pro. tem. and finally was elected President of the executive. Two gentlemen were proposed for the position of secretary, one being finally withdrawn in favor of ex Lieut. Hindes, who was unanimously elected to fill the position, subject to his acceptance. It was decided to hold meetings weekly on Fridays, in the Frankston Mechanics, at 8pm. *** AT the Frankston Methodist Church on

Sunday next the preachers will be Rev E. Tonkin, morning (special Thanksgiving service) and Rev D. Morris B.A., in the evening. The Rev. E. Tonkin will conduct a memorial service at Tyabb in the evening, in connection with the death at the front of Private Harry Cole. *** THE following letter has been received from Private H. T. Scoble, who has been at the front for some time: Dear Sir, Would you be kind enough to empress through your column, many thanks to the citizens of Frankston for the medal my brother received on my behalf. I trust I will be spared to return and wear same. At time of writing I am in a convalescent camp, together with Frank Gabrial and Ted Reynolds who had the same experience as I, being lamed with a shell. We are all feeling fit again and will be going up the line in the course of a few weeks, to do a bit more for the cause. Things are looking much brighter for the Allies at time of writing, and let as hope the coming Christmas will be our last away from Frankston. Kindly remember me to all enquiring friends. *** THE Principal of the Longerenong College reports that the good rains have greatly improved the prospects of both crops and stock. The silos have been filled with cape barley, 140 tons of material being taken off 14 acres of “stubble” land. Considering the season this is a heavy return, and again emphasises the

importance of that crop in the northern districts. Shearing has been finished, and 23 bales of wool forwarded to Geelong. The lambs have been sold by tender, and the price for 600 head, less 10 per cent rejects is 19s 3d, which is regarded at satisfactory. Twenty three cows are being milked for a daily return of 65 gallons. All classes are working well, and the conduct of the students in the house has been excellent. Receipts for the month amounted to £165 9s 10d. *** A SYDNEY paper gives the belt for champion Australian long distance job holder to George Walters, of Tamworth. N.S.W. He has been collar making for one saddlery firm there for 51 years, has swept out the local Methodist Church for half a century, and has been in the town band for 40 years. ‘ He has now reached the 70 mark in life, but is said to look good for another 25 years. *** MORNINGTON. The news of the signing of the Armistice between the European Combatents was the occasion of great rejoicing in our town. Great quantities of bunting were displayed everywhere, on the receipt of the official intimations that the important step had been made towards peace, bells were rung and shops closed for the day. A committee was formed to arrange a celebration worthy of the occasion, and on Thursday 14th inst. a grand pageant of fancy dress items, historical characters and humorous subjects, was

shown in the main street A strong, energetic band of workers entertained the juveniles and others in the park, with sports and refreshments, until 6 p.m. In the evening there was further display of the afternoon’s procession, ending with a fine fire works spectacle in the Alexandra Park. *** OUR Letter Box. TO THE EDITOR. Sir; It has been brought under my notice that rumors are being circulated that I have refused to assist the Red Cross and that the lady collector was ordered off my premises. Now, Sir, I give the rumour re the refusal to support, an absolute denial, but the ordering off is correct. The facts are that the collector was ordered off my premises, and informed in the presence of a witness that the money would still be paid to the Red Cross, but through a different source. I have no wish to make public the cause of the Red Cross collector’s dismissal, but will be very willing to explain to anyone personally. The collector is well acquainted with the reason and has little cause to complain of my treatment to her, knowing, as she does, that it was fully justified. Dame rumor is too apt to take away a person’s character, but it is a very hard person to punish as one can never get her in the open.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Yuletide Is Now Coming In By Stuart McCullough I CAN’T wait for Christmas. I’ve no idea how many sleeps it is but I’m awaiting it with breath so baited you could catch a trout with it. I love it all – the rising sense of anticipation and sense of release when the day finally arrives. Granted, there are administrative complexities – with everybody married or partnered and various competing interests, it’s easier to organize a war than it is a Christmas family function. Regardless, I think it’s great. We had overseas relatives. These were mostly people I’d met once, when my Aunt got married in 1982. Given the significance of the occasion, a posse of my great Aunts came out from Ireland. (I doubt they’d ever use a term like ‘posse’, but ‘gang’ might suggest they were all carrying switchblades instead of handbags, which, to the best of my knowledge, they weren’t.) To a child they looked like old ladies. But they were stern and tough. I suspect any one of them could have taken my father down in an arm wrestling competition. Unluckily for me, the reception included dancing but did not extend to arm wrestling. Not officially. Weddings aside, we heard from our overseas relatives on birthdays and at Christmas. Even though they hardly knew us at all, they always sent gifts. And those gifts were, without fail, monogrammed handkerchiefs. For decades, I never had to buy a handkerchief – my great Aunts had ensured I was well stocked. A monogrammed handkerchief is an

odd thing, when you think about it. An anonymous handkerchief gives you the option of disowning whatever disgusting thing you manage to blow between its linen pages. It defies logic that you should want people to know that whatever’s in there belongs to you. Presumably monogrammed handkerchiefs were invented in age before business cards existed. You could meet a potential business associate and rather than hand them your contact details on a card, you could simply give them your handkerchief. ‘Here,’ you might say as you pressed a folded fabric square into the palm of a new acquaintance, ‘I blew my nose in this earlier.’ That’s how real friend-

ships are made. While my great Aunts could be counted on to send hankies with our initials, my parents would be responsible for stuffing the stockings, so to speak. Each child in our family had a stocking. On Christmas Day it would be stuffed full of things we’d only ever see once a year. Chocolate coins, miniature hard-boiled lollies in a tiny jar and coloured popcorn that was always stale on the day you got it. Always. These things had little chance of surviving the day and guaranteed that someone would be seriously car sick at some point. For that was the other thing – everything had to be done on the day itself. This meant visiting

both sets of grandparents and gorging ourselves to the point of illness in between sitting in a traffic jam. It was always awkward – the day would begin with a shower of presents that you were then expected to leave as you began a marathon of Christmas meals that would only end when the last crumb of Christmas pudding was fed to you through a tube. It’s different now. The whole thing takes about a week; to visit every satellite and outpost branch of the family. After a time, it becomes a Groundhog Day event. Except that instead of Sonny and Cher’s ‘I Got You Babe’ playing on a loop, it’s the Christmas album that Michael Buble re-releases every year. It’s enough to

drive someone, if not to the brink of insanity, then certainly to Northcote and back. Even along Punt Road. My father has come in for his fairshare of criticism. For a long time, this was a direct result of his refusal to buy a new Christmas tree. The old one had been almost entirely denuded of its plastic needles with the end result looking less festive than it did the end result of some minor apocalypse. It was tiny, too. So much so that as the family grew steadily bigger, there was a very real chance that the tree would be under the presents, rather than the other way around. I love the moment when the my various nephews and nieces – some of whom have had to restrain themselves – are let off the leash in search of a gift with their name on it. I love the way the younger, more enthusiastic members, stand astride wrapped packages like Godzilla, about to wreak destruction. That kind of fervor is a fleeting temporal thing. It should be celebrated, I think. My brother’s specialty is lighting the brandy to pour over dessert. It never fails to impress the children who – in terms of best practice – would be better off if they weren’t fascinated with fire. Each year, my brother tries to outdo himself. The day will surely come when the dessert immolates entirely and can only be identified through its dental records. It’s chaotic and imperfect but I wouldn’t miss it. As the Christmas pudding succumbs to the flames, I’ll be there, munching stale coloured popcorn as I watch. I can’t wait. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Game saver: A century to Justin Grant helped Mt Eliza get across the line for a win. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Century gets Mount Eliza across the line By Brodie Cowburn

PROVINCIAL

AN expertly taken century from Justin Grant has helped Mt Eliza to a nailbiter two day win over Mornington at Emil Madsen Reserve. A big first day score of 85 from Ben Clements helped the Bulldogs to a good total of 216, which looked to be defendable. A top order collapse and some middle order struggles saw the Redlegs struggling at 6/86, before Grant really stamped his authority on the game. His unbeaten century saw them surpass their target of 216 with only two wickets in hand. At Baxter Park, Peninsula Old Boys were thoroughly defeat by an impressive Baxter side. OB’s tame total of 104 was passed with ease, as Baxter recovered from 2/15 to end up at 2/245 at the close of play. Daniel Warwick’s 77 not out, including 15 fours, proved the highlight of the day. Pearcedale’s decision to bat first in their match against Sorrento proved an unwise decision, as the Sharks made easy work of them on day two of their claws. Needing to beat 140 for the win, Sorrento put together a good middle order performance to end their innings at 7/214 before declaring. Pearcedale put on a better showing from 40 overs in their second innings, with an opening stand of 86 runs helping them along to 4/159, though the first innings was already lost.

At Lloyd Park, Flinders could only manage a paltry total of 57 against Langwarrin. All four Langy bowlers claimed a wicket as they tore through the side, enforcing the follow on and keeping them to 4/53 off their second innings.

PENINSULA

RED Hill have might light work of a target of 168 in their match against Crib Point at Crib Point Recreation Reserve. Crib Point would have liked their chances after getting off to a brilliant start and leaving the Hillmen bruised at 3/23. 3 and 4 batsmen Simon Dart and Alex Browne then steadied the ship, scoring a whopping 164 runs between them to put their side firmly in the box seat. Red Hill ended the day at 7/250. Pines had to work hard in order to defend their total of 189. But got the job done against Somerville. Somerville lost their first wicket without score to get off to a rocky start, but quickly got things back on track with a 64 run partnership. At 3/142 they would have liked their chances of going on to win, but a disastrous collapse left them all out for 171. Patrick Jackson did the damage, taking 8/68 off a stunning 42 overs. At Overport Park, a slow scoring Baden Powell could not get near a total of 165 set by Long Island. Baden Powell’s opening three batsmen combined for just 15 runs, leav-

ing them little chance. They were bowled out for 115 runs. Stuart Swift was pick of the bowlers, taking a five wicket haul on the day. Moorooduc have bounced back well to restore some pride after a disastrous first innings against Main Ridge. After their first innings came to a close for just 86 runs, they were keen to make amends. Reece Cordeaux’s 7 wickets saw them bring Main Ridge’s first innings to a close for 151, but it was Moorooduc’s second innings where they really impressed. They bounced back from their first innings total of 86 to make 7/218 before declaring. Main Ridge also had a crack at a second innings, and ended their day in a disappointing position at 6/83

DISTRICT

DELACOMBE Park have battled hard to get within touching distance, but fallen just short of their target against Rosebud. Chasing 185 to win, a good opening run stand of 39 was broken up by two quick wickets, the second being a runout. Jaquoin Mackenzie helped his side stay in reach with a serviceable 39, but ultimately his Rosebud teammates couldn’t top him, and they fell just short at all out for 167. Billy Quigley impressed with ball in hand, claiming five wickets. Mt Martha have nearly pulled off a miracle win over Seaford, bouncing back from 7/63 to nearly chase down

152 to win. Rhys Whitling’s brilliant half century from the tail nearly proved the difference, but ultimately his side ended up all out for 127. Whitling was the last man out, and was close to pulling off an almighty achievement. Seaford came in for a second innings, but ended the day at 6/98. Hastings have battered Seaford Tigers thanks to a brilliant century from Malith Chathuranga. His knock of 107 not out, with 14 fours to his name, was helpful in getting his side to a total of 4/225 by stumps. They met their target of 132 with little trouble. At Bruce Park, Heatherhill’s mammoth total of 9/285 was challenged by a brave Carrum side who came not far off meeting their lofty target. Carrum worked hard to keep the run rate ticking, but ultimately ended up all out for an impressive total of 250.

SUB DISTRICT

A SENSATIONAL batting collapse from Rye has opened the door for Tootgarook to claim a shock first innings win in their two day clash. Defending just 109 runs, Tootgarook had their work well and truly cut out for them. Rye however collapsed sensationally, losing their first three wickets in succession as Jacob Long claimed a hat trick. He would finish with a stunning 8 wickets, as Rye were bowled out for 75. Tootgarook came back in and made a snappy 155 before declaring and

chasing the second innings as well. Rye struggled, but held their nerve as they ended the day at 5/88. Skye’s tame total of 153 was enough to hold off the Tyabb on Saturday, as the Yabbies suffered from opening and tail end collapsed. The Yabbies were left languishing at 2/4, and also lost their last 5 wickets for just 10 runs. Clint Donohue was the star bowler for Skye, claiming 6/12 off 14 overs. Skye came in for a second innings and finished up at 1/34 at stumps. Frankston YCW can count themselves unlucky to have fallen short of Boneo’s target of 199 runs. Off to a tough start at 2/13, the Stonecats slowly worked their way into the game with some good middle order performances. Although they look threatening, YCW eventually fell short and were bowled out for 177. Sean Spencer took nearly career best bowling figures of 5/29, including the scalps of both openers. Dromana’s team performance earned them a total of 191 last week, a total that could be easily defended. Carrum Downs looked up to the task however, and worked hard to chip away at the total. Despite their best efforts, Carrums Downs were bowled out for 173 with 7 overs to spare. Zacc Clan’s 5/41 made him the pick of the bowlers. Balnarring had a bye.

Watch out for Mornington SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie ADAM Jamieson is close to finalising a senior squad which he believes can take Mornington into the NPL. While other local clubs have been announcing new signings in a piecemeal manner Jamieson has quietly gone about the business of overhauling his playing staff and he’s pleased with the outcome. Last week the club took to social media to name the 14 players already secured for next season. “It’s a pretty strong squad on paper but we know what on paper means and until you go out there and do it then it doesn’t mean much,” Jamieson said. He’s known for keeping his cards close to his chest but will at least acknowledge that this current squad has more players with NPL experience than ever before. Striker Amir Osmancevic has joined from Northcote, defenders Andy McIntyre and Andy Mclean and striker Liam Baxter have been signed from Langwarrin, midfielder Sam Catherine has been lured from Dandenong Thunder along with goalkeeper Sermin Sadkovski from Richmond while midfielder or winger Ross Clark has joined from Mooroolbark. Goalkeeper Steve Bayard, defenders Josh Valadon and Charlie Parker and midfielders Sam Scott and Andre Bennett have been retained while 20-year-old defender Lachy Thomas and 20-year-old forward Charlie O’Connell have been promoted from the club’s development squad. Jamieson is keen to retain Craig Smart, Keegan Ziada and Sammy Orritt but negotiations are ongoing and the future of Stefan Soler is unclear. Smart has been linked with Peninsula Strikers and Berwick City, Ziada with Berwick City and Orritt with Oakleigh Cannons. Stevie Elliott has joined Doveton, Jamie Cumming has joined Langwarrin and Max Etheridge is rumoured to be on the radar of former club Kingston City. “Next season we can have four visa players on a teamsheet and at the moment we’ve only got three,” Jamieson said. “Sammy would be the fourth visa if we can convince him to stay and believe me I’m trying.” The top two sides in State 1 SouthEast will be promoted to a third-tier elite league created for the 2020 season and Jamieson aims to take Mornington there. “It’s a fresh start for everyone really.

Take two: Former Bishop Auckland midfielder Andre Bennett has signed on for a second season at Mornington. Picture: John Punshon

The plan from day one was to get a lot of new boys in as some boys wanted to move on and some boys went back to the UK and New Zealand. “I’m really excited about this squad and I’m super excited about working with [new assistant coach] Nathan Peel. “He’s worked at every professional level in England and he’s going to be an unbelievable asset to the football club, to all the players and to be honest to me too. I’m going to learn a lot which is going to be great for my development as a coach and manager.” Jamieson has pinpointed poor home results over the past two seasons as an area of concern and that has prompted the scheduling of a number of preseason matches at Dallas Brooks Park. Mornington will host Peninsula Strikers on Thursday 14 February, Banyule on Saturday 16 February, Berwick City on Saturday 23 February and Clifton Hill on Saturday 16 March. Mornington will try to win the Steve Wallace Memorial Cup for a sixth straight year on Saturday 2 February and will open its 2019 FFA Cup campaign on Saturday 9 March.

Jamieson and Peel will start pre-season training on Tuesday 27 November and the last session for 2018 will be on Tuesday 18 December. Training resumes on Tuesday 15 January and a pre-season camp at Barwon Heads has been scheduled for the first weekend in March. The main pitch at Dallas Brooks Park is now floodlit and Mornington may play a couple of night games next season. In NPLW news American import Michaela Dooley has left Southern United after arriving last July from Swedish club Skövde KIK. The 23-year-old was on a two-year contract with Southern with a oneyear option and chose the Monterey Reserve outfit after turning down a short-term offer of $2500 a month, a job and free accommodation from a Queensland-based club. Although Dooley has agreed terms with a Brisbane-based side competing in Queensland’s NPLW competition it is not the club which tried to snatch her from Southern’s grasp last season. Dooley will play with Souths United in 2019. The club finished fourth last season

and is expected to recruit aggressively with a view to challenging for the title next year. “I know a couple of girls there and they have a strong competitive environment and they work on bringing in a couple of internationals each year,” Dooley said. “I really enjoyed my time at Southern and the girls there went above and beyond to make sure I integrated. “The sense of community and their youth program are a big plus and even though we struggled we improved a ton by the end of the season. “Hopefully they’ll have a good year and I’ll certainly be following them from afar.” In State 3 South-East news Skye United senior coach Phil McGuinness is trying to hold on to the core group of players who took the club to a thirdplaced finish in State 3 South-East last season. Star striker Caleb Nicholes retired before the last match of the 2018 season and McGuinness is acutely aware of the impact that could have. “The absence of his goals and experience has left a huge hole to fill but Daniel Attard and Mitch Blake are

looking forward to the challenge of filling the big man’s boots and we’re also looking at bringing in a third striker to keep the competition healthy up front,” McGuinness said. “We don’t have the spending power of some of the clubs in our area so it’s important to keep hold of the players we have.” Midfielders Mark O’Connor (calf) and Marcus Collier (ACL) are recovering from injuries and McGuinness hopes to have Collier available midway through the 2019 season. Baxter and Frankston Pines are among a group of clubs circling around young midfielder Jack Gallagher. “Yeah I’ve heard he’s creating a lot of interest from other clubs but I had a chat with him and he seems pretty happy to stay and fight for his spot,” McGuinness said. “I’ve been in contact with a few of my old players from my Langy days (as reserves coach) and hopefully I’ve done enough to convince them to try out at Skye during preseason.” In State 4 South news Seaford United announced last week that brothers Matt and Jeremy Schwellinger and Dion Stallbaum had been re-signed for next season. In State 5 South news former Berwick City reserves coach Lee Barber is the new senior coach of Aspendale Stingrays. Barber has 40 years’ experience as a player, referee and coach and has been in charge of the Berwick reserves for the past four seasons. Young Stingrays defender Alex Griffiths did his ACL while playing for the seniors last season and missed out on the under-18A finals. He put surgery on hold while concentrating on his VCE exams and will miss the 2019 season. The Stingrays’ attacking options have been bolstered with leading scorer Domenic Paul signing on for next season and Alex Taylor-Hirst returning from working in the UK. Taylor-Hirst scored 11 goals in the 10 games he played this year. Under-18 strikers Quinn Carter and Ben Garside Weinert are expected to be involved with the senior squad alongside key defender Noah Berends and goalkeeper Matthew Self who played in the reserves this season as well as the title-winning under-18 side. Under-18s midfielders James Macnab and Justin Lampert both had a taste of senior soccer last season and have re-signed for 2019.

Steelers open up mental health chat THE WESTERN Port Steelers will lead the way when it comes to mental health and wellbeing for basketballers in Victoria as they commence their new resilience project on Tuesday 11 December. Becoming the first basketball association in Victoria to implement this initiative, the Steelers will hold a “resilience project” information session that looks at building resilience within sporting clubs, schools and work places as well as opening up conversations about mental health and positive health habits. The program is targeted towards the junior basketballers, in particular the representative players due to the perceived extra pressure of competing at that level, to help teach them ways to handle the stress and continue to enjoy a sport they love competing in. Western Port Steelers head of Health and Well-being, Carina Spencer, said she was looking forward to seeing the program kick off at the club. “Westernport basketball association has recently invested time and money supported by a grant in creating a health and well-being program including youth mental health first aid trained officers as well as counsellor strategies

and advice for our referees,” Spencer said. “It is a much welcomed program and the benefits have been evident to date as it opens up conversations about mental health as well as positive health habits including mindfulness. “We are the first basketball association in Victoria to implement this initiative and we are hoping we can continue to bring our basketball community with ongoing training and support throughout all levels of the association.” On top of the “resilience project”, the program also entails a “positive coaching” course which will be used to assist the Steelers’ representative coaches. Western Port Steelers basketball operations manager, Tyler Molloy, was also keen to see the program take off at the club. “I think it’s awesome,” he said. “I coach some junior teams and I think it’s very important these days to focus on these issues. It’s a huge learning tool and it’s reasonably new so hopefully we can be an innovator for this project and hopefully more clubs will follow suit.” The information session is free for Western Port Steelers players and while it isn’t compulsory, it’s a highly recommended event to attend.

Peninsula’s best face off in bowling finals SOME of the best bowlers from the Mornington Peninsula will battle it out in the Regional Triples Final on Wednesday 21 November at the Mount Eliza Bowling Club. Having made their way through the semifinals in convincing fashion, Mt Eliza will play off against Frankston in the Men’s division while Dromana and Karingal will face off in the Women’s division. A packed crowd is anticipated to attend the final which will be played under-lights and is set to kick off at 6:00pm. Mount Eliza Bowling Club chairman, Dale Verhagen, said he was very much looking forward to seeing how Mt Eliza go against Frankston. “We didn’t have a team in this last year,”

Verhagen said. “It’s quite a strong competition on the Peninsula but I think we’re going into this year with a good chance. They had a comfortable semi-final win and hopefully they can do it again, but I’m confident they’ll go well in a fairly even competition.” The Peninsula Bowling Division invited Mt Eliza to host the Regional Triple Finals this year and Verhagen said it was an offer that the club was “obviously quite happy to take up”. “There’s usually a lot of food and drink for everyone and it always seems to be quite a good night,” he said. The winners of the Regional Triples Finals will then head towards the State Triples Finals at the Brighton Bowling Club.

Carrum Stars live out their “bag of dreams” By Ben Triandafillou FROM suffering defeat in a lowly rated maiden to finding success at the elite level, a group of former Carrum footballers have enjoyed living out a piece of their “bag of dreams” over the recent spring racing carnival. The Robbie Laing-trained and aptly named colt, Stars of Carrum, surged his way into the $2 million Group One Victoria Derby field on Saturday 3 November where he finished runners-up and took his winning prize money to $526,355 from nine starts. Despite looking unlikely to have enough earnings to make the Derby field, the 20-strong ownership group along with trainer, Robbie Laing, believed their colt still had the ability to match it with the best three-yearold stayers in the country. Their faith certainly wasn’t misplaced as the son of Melbourne Cup victor, Fiorente, went from being defeated by a lip in a Bairnsdale maiden at the start of October to notching his first victory two starts later in the $200,000 Group Two Moonee Valley Vase at the odds of $51. That victory provided Stars of Carrum with enough prize money to make the final field for the Flemington feature. Majority owner and avid racing fan, Peter Cox, said it was incredible to even get to the Derby considering where Stars of Carrum finished at his previous starts. “It’s our eight-day claim to fame,” Cox said. “[Stars of Carrum] went from winning $29,000 and being lucky to actually make that Moonee Valley Vase field to then winning the race and running second in the Derby. He went from $29,000 (after seven starts) to now $526,000 and making nearly half a million dollars in eight days. “If we were told when we were in a Bairnsdale maiden and we lost by a lip that we would go onto run second in the Derby I think we would have taken that beautifully.” “It’s quite incredible because most of the owners in this horse, it’s their first horse that they’ve ever owned. I’m sure some of the first-time own-

ers would be thinking ‘how easy is this, we should have been in this years ago’.” Despite having minimal luck with his other 15 horses he’s been involved in, Cox has always held belief that the Stars of Carrum would go onto win big things. “I really wanted to be involved with a Fiorente colt and when I found out last year that Robbie hadn’t sold any shares in this one I told him ‘I’d take 50 per cent right now’ and would find others to come in as well,” Cox said. “I crashed a barbeque with some of the former Carrum footballers there and said ‘I know you lot know close to nothing about racehorses but I know you like one week of the carnival, the Melbourne Cup’. I said to them ‘I have the 2020 Melbourne Cup winner right here’ and I handed out sheets to them all. “I said I was prepared to have up to 20 owners that way everyone gets their name in the race book. Within a few weeks I had all the slots filled and Robbie even wanted to stay in the horse.” The ownership group in the Stars of

Carrum, who races in navy blue with red starred silks in support of Cox’s favourite AFL team, Melbourne, has ticked off one dream and will be out to check off another next year. “We got the dream of the Derby and now maybe the next dream can be bought a year ahead from 2020 and maybe we can try and get into the Melbourne Cup with a lightweight,” Cox said. “You’ve got to qualify but why not have the bag of dreams. Every horse owner has a bag of dreams and I reckon that’d be ours.” That dream may have become slightly closer to a reality with the Victoria Racing Club’s decision to introduce a fifth ballot exempt race for the Melbourne Cup next year - The Andrew Ramsden, which will be held in May for three, four and five-yearold horses. Whether or not they reach the dream of a start in the Melbourne Cup, Cox said to just be able to have fun chatting with co-owners and celebrating a success story like this is what horse ownership is all about.

Juniors have a ball at Frankston Cup, Hewitt cheers By Ben Triandafillou BETTER Tennis’ fourth and final bronze tournament for the year, the 2018 Frankston Cup, had some exceptional talent on and off the court. The three day event which kicked off on Saturday 3 November had more than 180 talented juniors competing across the Frankston and Overport Park venues. There was also the rare sighting of Australian tennis star and former world number one, Lleyton Hewitt, on the sidelines cheering on his son, Cruz, who competed in the under-12s competition. Cruz made the quarter-finals in the 64 player draw. Retired professional tennis player Peter Luczak also attended the tournament. Better Tennis coach David Laird said it was great to have the tennis stars on the sidelines as the junior tennis players loved the excitement built up around them. “The first day [Lleyton] was a little bit undercover and watching his son Cruz play but by the end of the day he was taking pictures with everyone and really interacting with the kids which was great to see,” Laird said. For the tournament itself, Laird said it just continues to get more popular each time. “It keeps growing in numbers every time we have one of these competitions,” he said. “We had to hire 10 courts from Overport Park on the first two days, with Brad [Grose]

overseeing everything there, and then we used another 15 courts down at Frankston as well for the entire time.” “It all went really smooth which was probably helped by Steven [Foot]’s scheduling as everything was planned perfectly to time. “Sometimes people try to cram in too many matches for a tournament but Steve nailed it and everything ran perfectly.” The winners from the 2018 Frankston Cup were: under-11 Boys Singles - Nicholas Huang; under-11 Girls Singles - Kylah Schuwalow; under-12 Boys Singles - Josh Ascar; under-12 Boys Doubles - Nick Fraser & Sebastian Tring; under-12 Girls Singles - Kimiko Cooper; under-12 Girls Doubles - Kimiko Cooper & Lily Koleski; under-14 Boys Singles - Joshua Mercuri; under-14 Boys Doubles - Joshua Mercuri & Nicholas Miloi; under-14 Girls Singles - Madi Howell; under-14 Girls Doubles - Isabella Chessler & Jasmine Harding; under-16 Boys Singles - John McDonald; under-16 Boys Doubles - Harrison Flack & Cooper Gibbs; under-16 Girls Singles - Jasmyn Heriot; and under-16 Girls Doubles - Jasmyn Heriot & Phillipa Speldewinde.
