Richardson’s Homebred Hero To Set Hearts Racing Defibrillate chases Neds Mornington Cup glory

BY JUSTIN DARCY

W

ith more than 500 winners to his name including the likes of Group 1 stars Kailey & Tobruk, New Zealand trainer Graham Richardson’s passion for racing and breeding horses has borne plenty of success.

Yet arguably the best horse to come from his property is Defibrillate, a winner of 10 races from 23 starts and almost $700,000 in prizemoney to date. The Neds Mornington Cup (2400m) beckons next for the son of Shocking, a race that means a lot to Graham having once ran a satellite stable here where he holds plenty of fond memories.

“I believe that it was a very rewarding and successful experience,” Richardson said of his time training at Mornington.

Defibrillate, out of the mare Our Chickaroonie, comes from an interesting family with his full brother He’s No Chick and half-sister Italian Princess both sharp sprinting types.

However, Graham knew early that Defibrillate would be better suited as a stayer thanks to his long stride and stature as a weanling, very much in a different mould to his siblings.

“I bred a full-brother to Defibrillate. He was a very good horse, winning from 1200m to 1400m.

Being a full-brother to Defibrillate, I can’t work that one out.” Richardson said.

Keeping Defibrillate in his stable for his first three starts, Richardson knew he had a stayer on his hands, and a smart one at that, stepping him up in trip from 1200m to 1600m from his first to second career start.

“I never do this, I gave him a little rest knowing he needed far more ground,” Richardson said.

“We went from six furlongs to a mile off of a five or six week break without hardly giving him a gallop. He won easy and I was told that he should be over at Patty’s (Patrick Payne) place and I replied that I had thought about it and that it was probably a good move.”

Retaining a share in Defibrillate with some close friends, Richardson’s decision to send his star to Australia was vindicated early when winning three of his first four starts under Payne’s care.

“Racing is tough right, but gee it’s fun when you have a good horse and Defibrillate has been a good horse for us already. I still think his best is yet to come.”

- Brendon McCullum

“I always thought he was a very good horse,” Richardson said.

“He won at Flemington one day and there wasn’t very many of us in the winner’s circle so I decided I would pop some mates into him and enjoy it more”.

One of those friends was neighbour and cult hero ex-cricketer Brendon McCullum, the record holder of the fastest test century of all time.

“Maybe it’s a Mornington Cup? Maybe it’s

even a Caulfield Cup? Gee, I don’t know if he’s up to that level but regardless we will enjoy the ride,” McCullum said.

“Thanks to Richie our neighbour for getting us involved. He’s one of the real good guys in the racing game and he loves this horse. He bred him and trained him before sending him over to Patty and got a cool group of owners together.”

His ownership group, which also includes champion jockey Lance O’Sullivan, briefly dreamed of having a runner in the Melbourne Cup last preparation before realising that their horse did not run two miles. At his best from 2000m to 2400m, Defibrillate looks primed to improve on his sixth-placed finish in last year’s Mornington Cup, entering this year’s edition off a last-start Mornington Cup Prelude (Vic Cup) victory over 2000m.

Richardson echoes McCullum’s excitement for what is ahead for their lightly raced gelding, hoping that he can produce once of his customary barnstorming wins on March 26 and earn ballot exemption for the $5 million Carlton Draught Caulfield Cup (2400m) in the spring.

“23 starts for 10 wins, that’s not bad for a seven-year-old.”

Councillors collect healthy pay rise Brodie Cowburn brodie@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula’s councillors will enjoy a substantial pay rise this year.

The Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal made the decision earlier this month. Councillors statewide are set to enjoy a pay increase, with deputy mayors the biggest beneficiaries.

Mornington Peninsula council is

designated a category three council.

Under the new pay rate, category three councillors will receive an allowance of $35,972, up from the previous amount of up to $31,444. The mayor’s pay has risen from up to $100,434 to $119,316. Deputy mayors will now be paid $59,659.

The new allowance comes into retrospectively from 18 December last year. The Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal has also determined that mayors and deputy mayors will receive a pay rise each year until

2025. In the year 2025 mayors will be paid $132,573, and deputy mayors $66,286.

Councillors will receive a pay rise each year until 2023, when they will be paid $38,047.

In its determination, the Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal wrote that it had “taken into account the substantial change in the roles, responsibilities and workload of council members since their allowances were last reviewed and considered the purpose of council member allowances

and the impact of altering their value, including on diversity of representation in local government. The Tribunal has also comprehensively reviewed the existing allowances system for council members taking into account similar allowances for elected members of local government in other states and in the Northern Territory and allowances for persons elected to voluntary parttime community bodies.”

In its submission to the tribunal as part of the decision making process, Ratepayers Victoria said “we have lit-

tle control over the income we need to cover the cost of rates on top of other taxes and charges. We have one income and three governments to serve.

We have no ability to refuse to pay rates even if council’s rate costs are unaffordable.

Given there is no reliable data to predict the financial impact of a rise in mayor, deputy mayor and councillor allowances on Victorian households, Ratepayers Victoria feels it would be unwise for the tribunal to make such a determination.”

Touching lives by taking to the skies Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au TUERONG farmer Peter Moran has been called an angel many times in his life, and not just by his adoring wife Karen.

The thoroughbred breeder and “accidental” pilot has spent more than a decade volunteering with Angel Flight to get patients to where they need to be for medical appointments all around Victoria.

To date, he has made 179 flights, providing a ride for people who would otherwise be unable to get the medicine and the medical help they need, and a friendly face and warm chat to put his patients at ease.

‘Peter the pilot’, as the 69-year-old is often called, says he loves what he does, despite never wanting to be a pilot until in his 50s when he took a ride with a friend and fell in love with the freedom of being in the sky.

“It was really an accident that I discovered flying, after I took a chartered light aircraft to visit the Kimberleys and fell in love with it so much that when I got back I went to Tyabb Airfield and signed up for lessons, and about one year later I was a pilot,” he said.

After a quick trip to America for licence endorsements, Mr Moran bought himself an airplane and the rest is history, as they say.

“When I heard about Angel Flight, I knew it was something I wanted to do, it’s such a great thing to be able to do, I love talking to my patients and

helping them to relax and feel good for the time they are in my plane,” he said.

“Some of the patients are getting some pretty serious treatments, so it’s nice to be able to put their mind at ease and give them a little happiness for the time they are in my plane.

“It feels great being able to give back to the community after a fortunate life.”

Mr Moran remembers many uplifting moments with his charges, and still keeps in touch with some of them, occasionally popping in for a coffee when he’s next flying in their area.

So moved by his patients’ stories and predicaments, it is not unusual for the Moran’s to invite a patient home for lunch or even put a patient up for the night if weather has the plane grounded.

Angel Flight Australia is a charity that relies on volunteers to provide free medical transport to rural and regional people who need to attend city medical appointments.

It was launched as an Australian charity in April 2003, and is the initiative of Bill Bristow, a successful businessman, experienced pilot and winner of the Australian of the Year Award - Queensland 2005. Mr Bristow witnessed first-hand how charity flying in the US was making a difference to the lives of thousands of people.

“I was flying in the US with other pilots and they were sharing with me the extraordinary feeling they experienced through charity flying,”

he said.

“I realized then Australia badly needed a similar service. With about 30 per cent of the Australian population living outside metropolitan areas a very large number of people do not have easy access to major hospitals and treatment centres.

“I decided I had to do something about it and returned home with a new sense of purpose.”

Stories told by his friends living in remote areas, and through his association with the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Mr Bristow was acutely aware of the extreme hardship experienced by rural communities and the potential risk placed on their health when living away from the major metropolitan centres.

A registered Australian charity, Angel Flight is a not-for-profit operation that coordinates non-emergency flights for patients and families around the country in medical and financial need.

Angel Flight services are free to patients and carers, with pilots donating their time, their skills and the bulk of their aircraft costs for each flight. To help offset the pilots’ operating costs Angel Flight Australia negotiates aviation fuel discounts and the waiver of landing fees at airports around the country, and Airservices Australia reverse any air navigation charges.

Donations are vital, and are used to fully subsidise fuel costs.

More information can be found on www.angelflight.org.au.

A GLOBAL research company says young Australians living in the Flinders electorate with type one diabetes (T1D) face an uncertain future due to “inequitable” access to life-saving technology.

A survey by T1D research organisation JDRF Australia reveals that Australians living with T1D are being forced to choose between funding lifesaving diabetes management technology and financial security, with more than 80 per cent of those paying out-of-pocket having to make sacrifices to afford the $5000 annual cost.

The organisation has used the opportunity to urge Flinders MP and Health Minister Greg Hunt to lobby the federal government to fund better access to treatments and less complicated reimbursement programs.

The survey found 91 per cent of respondents are forgoing savings to self-fund the technology, and more than half are anxious about their future due to the cost.

However, the claims have been disputed by Greg Hunt’s office, with the Health Minister in fact the first minister in Australia to introduce CGM to several groups, including children and young people under 21 with T1D and similar conditions, women with T1D who are planning or are pregnant, and people 21 and over with concessional status.

A spokesperson for Mr Hunt said he would continue to further expand CGM accessibility across Australia.

DRF Australia and the T1D community are

calling for a whole of government commitment of $100 million annually to address the inequity and ensure access to technology is not dictated by age or circumstance.

The #AccessForAll campaign aims to remove barriers currently preventing many people from accessing technologies that will allow them to better manage their T1D and improve their quality of life.

Ahead of this year’s federal election, JDRF and other leading diabetes organisations are asking for the investment to support expanded access to continuous glucose monitors, flash glucose monitors and insulin pumps (tubed and patch pumps). The technologies are often out of reach for those who do not qualify for subsidised access and can’t otherwise afford the out-of-pocket costs.

A recent JDRF survey of Australians with T1D, including parents of children with the disease, found that almost 90 per cent of respondents said the use of a CGM or FGM was essential for managing T1D and more than 8 in 10 agreed it helped them feel more in control of their health.

Without subsidised access, CGMs/FGMs can cost up to $5000 a year.

JDRF Australia CEO Mike Wilson OAM said access to T1D monitoring technology should not be determined by birthdate or bank balance, but by professional advice and personal preference.

The survey questioned 415 Australians who have or care for a person with type 1 diabetes., and was conducted online between the 4 and 14 January 2022.

Cyclists hit the road for mental health awareness TO raise much-needed money to support mental health, Mornington Peninsula cyclists with the Ride for Relief team left for Mallacoota yesterday to enjoy some pampering before the ride.

The group will be enjoying a pre-opening dining and bathing experience at the soon to be open Metung Hot Springs, where they will be able to relax in geothermal waters and take on breathtaking views across the Gippsland Lakes.

The riders are preparing to ride across Victoria as part of a fundraising mission, and hope to build on the success of past Ride for Relief events. This year’s ride will be a six-day tour option, in addition to the one-day ride.

The group will travel across half of Victoria exploring the emerging bathing destinations in Metung, Traralgon and Phillip Island along their route back to the Peninsula Hot Springs.

.All money raised goes directly to Mentis Assist, a community, not-for-profit mental health support service that provides specialised mental health services for people living with severe mental illness in and outside the Mornington Peninsula.

To donate, go to the group’s website at https:// rideforrelief.grassrootz.com/

Esso apply for generator licence ESSO Australia has applied for a development licence to build three power generators on Bayview Road, Hastings.

According to the application, production of LPG is declining and with it the levels of excess ethane being produced. Esso anticipates the power generation plants would only be required until 2033.

The energy giant’s application to the Environment Protection Authority states the three generators will be built on Bayview Rd, Hastings, next to the Esso liquid petroleum gas processing plant and using the excess ethane gas by-product of the LPG manufacturing process to fuel the generators.

The EPA says it will assess the application based on the potential impacts to the local environment and community including noise, water and air quality as well as what ongoing monitoring would be required to ensure all necessary criteria continue to be met, if the application is successful.

But some residents are concerned what impact the generators would have on air quality, and are asking for more information on Esso’s plans to mitigate and monitor the release of chemicals.

A Crib Point resident said on some days when there is a northerly wind, he can sometimes smell a ‘burning tyre’ odour from Esso’s LPG plant.

“My main concern is air quality, so I would advise people to read this thoroughly to find out what’s happening,” he said.

“There is only 20 days left to put in a submission, so there isn’t much time.”

Pollutants expected to be nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, Particulate matter, sulphur dioxide and volatile compounds.

The Long Island Point Fractionation Plant Oil currently operates for processing natural gas liquids ethane, propane and butane to LPG for distribution locally and internationally.

The ethane by-product of this process has, for many years, been sent through a pipeline to

a customer in Altona for plastics manufacture.

However, if the customer is unable to accept the ethane, in some circumstances this can lead to Esso curtailing natural gas supply to reduce the production of these gas liquids, which in turn would impact the supply of natural gas to Victoria.

According to the application, generating power from ethane would enable Esso to safely and reliably utilise undersubscribed ethane, thus avoiding the need to flare this gas at Long Island Point or reduce natural gas production for the south east Australian gas market.

An Esso spokesperson said that to improve community and environmental outcomes, it had identified an alternative for managing excess ethane which would benefit the community and have minimal impact.

To find out more and to have your opportunity to contribute, go to www.epa.vic.gov.au/esso-pty-ltd Public submissions will be accepted until 13 April, 2022.

Flinders commit to net zero by 2030 MEMBERS of the Flinders Zero Carbon Community proudly attended the unveiling of the new town entry signs on Friday, which are part of the move to net zero emissions by 2030.

Spokesperson Mark Aarons said Flinders Zero Carbon Community was a group of volunteer community members taking local action to make a difference to climate change.

FZCC formed as a sub-committee of the Flinders Community Association in early 2021 to promote action at a grass-roots level. Its mission is to support Flinders to reach net zero energy and net zero emissions by 2030, and to see a future where all the energy Flinders needs is obtained from wholly renewable sources.

Mr Aarons said the group had four main goals - to take actions to address climate change, to inform and educate the Flinders community on climate issues and promote positive solutions, to inform and support the local community to take responsibility for climate action, and finally to join with other like-minded groups to share knowledge, learn and support widespread change.

Promoted actions will include electrifying everything, encouraging rooftop solar uptake, community battery installation and regenerative farming, including tree planting.

The zero carbon signs were installed under the three Flinders town entry signs on Friday, with Cr David Gill attending.

Installation of the signs, as well as other work of the group are supported by the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and another important volunteer group called eMPower.

Flinders is the first satellite community as part of a future decarbonisation and renewables energy network in the shire.

Flinders Zero Carbon Community’s next planned event is on Easter Saturday 16 April, and will focus on providing information on electric cars from a well-known expert. More information can be found on their Facebook page: Flinders Zero Carbon Community.

Film festival full house THE winners of the 2022 Peninsula Film Festival have been announced, with The News photographer Yanni Dellaportas making the list.

The festival evolved eleven years ago, beginning at the Rosebud Bazaar, then moving to the Rosebud Village Green and the eventually the Dromana Drive-In. Nifty Roadshow by Cameralla took out top prize at the Short Film Festival on Saturday night at the Dromana Drive-In. Second prize went to City of Salt by James Dr Martino, who also walked

away with best director, and third prize went to Healing Country by Tracee Hutchison. Best cinematography went to Skin by Jarid Seymour.

Other winners included My Local Hero: Dreamweaver – Jacqui Beddows by Heather Forbes Mckeon and Yanni Dellaportas.

One of the organisers, Anna Bruger, said from 5.30pm when the drive-in opened on March 12, it was full-on to close at around 11.30pm.

There was entertainment with live music, food trucks and people milling around and enjoying themselves.

“The whole area was at capacity, and it was interesting watching people settle in for the night,” she said.

“It was somewhat cool to be outside, so blankets, jumpers and coats came to the fore to watch these films.”

“For us, it was a great beginning to the night’s entertainment. What a great selection of short films. Educational, humourous, dark, documentaries, animation but overall, something for everyone’s tastes.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire to host ALGWA National Conference

A view to a kill: Holes have been drilled in some trees to administer poison, while other trees have been snapped off at the base, and others had limbs pulled off in what seems to be a deliberate act. Pictures: Supplied

Hunt on for ‘despicable’ tree vandals Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au A VOLUNTEER coastal environment group is calling on urgent action to track down those responsible for killing trees along the McCrae foreshore.

Volunteers from the McCrae Homestead Coastal Group have been documenting the destruction of Banksia and She-oak trees along 100 metres of the foreshore.

Spokesperson Jenny Wharfe said the group was devastated at the “despicable” act of vandalism, with some of the trees poisoned and others torn from the ground or limbs broken off.

“We have discovered significant and widespread evidence of tree vandalism, including drilling, poisoning, and breaking of branches and felling of mature She-Oaks and banksias

adjacent to the Bay Trail in a particular section of the McCrae foreshore in which we regularly work as shire volunteers,” she said.

“Many trees are well on the way to being dead, whilst semi mature She-Oaks and about 12 Banksias two to four metres high seaward of the Bay Trail have had branches torn off, broken off at ground level or been pushed over.

“These particular trees are more easily seen from the beach, and when you view the damage from the beach between the Bay Trail and the beach, it seems to be done for a reason.”

Ms Smales said it was heartbreaking to see, afterADVERTISEMENT volunteers had spent more than 20 years revegetating the area with support and financial help from the council.

“We have written to the council, as it’s is theft of money that has been spent of all this vegetation, so hopefully they get on to it,” she said.

“It’s such a selfish and shameless thing to do,

it benefits nobody but the person doing it.”

Ms Wharfe said the group would like the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to erect signs, warning of the legal and financial ramifications of tree damage.

Apart of shire fines, offences for poison and damage to vegetation (trees) can attract a maximum fine of $198,000 under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 if found guilty in the Magistrates Court.

Penalties for wilful destruction or damage of public trees under the Summary Offences Act are up to $4,100 or six-months imprisonment if found guilty in the Magistrates Court.

Any one with information is urged to report it to the shire and the McCrae Homestead Coastal Group on mhcg@mcccoastalgroup.org.au The shire was contacted for comment.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council will host the 2023 Australian Local Government Women’s Association National Conference, just weeks after celebrating International Women’s Day. The announcement was made at the ALGWA National and Queensland state conference held in Airlie Beach from 1–3 March.

The shire was already planning to host the 2023 Victorian conference and will now be welcoming women from not only Victoria but all across Australia to the peninsula.

The RACV at Cape Schanck will be the venue and accommodation centre for the conference taking place between 18–20 May 2023. The conference theme will be ‘Connect, Inspire and Thrive’.

Founded in the early 1950s, ALGWA was established to assist in furthering knowledge and understanding of the function of local government and encourage women to participate in and make a career in local government.

Mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said the shire was curating an “inspirational and thoughtprovoking” list of guest speakers.

“We will also be encouraging all delegates to linger longer during their visit and experience the very best of our wonderful Mornington Peninsula,” he said.

“In the meantime, I encourage all women, whether working in the sector or wanting a career in local government to start planning for the 2023 ALGWA conference on the Mornington Peninsula - We can guarantee it will be the best place to connect, inspire and thrive.”

Artist’s legacy lives on

By Lulu THE heroic life of Jeff Williams of Somerville has left an indelible footprint on Mornington Peninsula artists.

The 57-year-old who died recently was one of the mainstays of the Mornington Peninsula Painting and Drawing Group Inc which is understood to have originally been an offshoot of the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery.

In spite of being in a wheelchair and attached to an oxygen bottle, Mr Williams held the roles of president and treasurer during his long association with the 50-year-old group.

After Mr Williams was hospitalised with complications from life-long muscular dystrophy and heart/lung issues the group was set to be wound up.

But at the last minute it was decided that Mr William’s legacy of heroism and optimism in the face of adversity could not be ignored and alternative arrangements were made to continue the group.

Mr Williams was an accomplished artist who had entered past Archibald awards where his work was selected by the Victorian Salon Des Refuses.

His Archibald subjects included artist Godwin Bradbeer, author Abdi Aden and actor Greg Ross who was the celebrant at Jeff’s funeral.

Two of Mr William’s friends created the “Frankeneasel” - a feat of engineering which allowed Mr Williams to access large canvases at different angles.

A group of 12 artists held a minute’s silence for Mr Williams

and raised a glass of champagne in his memory at the first session of the new-look Mornngton Peninsula Painting and Drawing Group Inc held Tuesday 8 March.

Mr William’s funeral was on Thursday 3 March.

“Jeff loved his arty tribe,” said his wife of 31 years, Sue Williams.

“He loved painting and drawing and enjoyed their company.”

One group member said that Jeff’s rare spirit of optimism and kindness had greatly helped her ongoing recovery from PTSD. “There was absolutely no way his legacy was going to be wasted,” she said.

“He was a very rare person indeed.”

Mornington Peninsula Painting and

Drawing Group committee member, Bill Caldwell, said the group had been made richer by the life of Jeff Williams.

“He was an inspiration to everyone who met him,” said Mr Caldwell.

Life drawing classes with models have now resumed and are being held each Tuesday at the U3A premises at the Currawong Street hall, Mornington.

Short-timed poses are held between 10am and midday with longer poses held between 1 and 3pm.

More artists are needed to attend the morning session to keep it going.

Costs: $30 joining fee. $15 per session or $25 for the full day.

Esso update

By David McCord, Long Island Point Plant Manager.

Safety is a core value at Esso Australia and every day, we all strive to ensure a work environment where Nobody Gets Hurt. Maintaining safe operations is not just a priority for Esso, but also for our wider workforce, including the multitude of contractors that we engage and work closely with.

Last month, our team at Long Island Point celebrated our contractor’s safety commitment with Sam Jeffs, of the Oceaneering team, who was awarded an Oceaneering “Do Things Right” award, which recognises his impressive attentiveness onsite.

NEWS DESK

Plover in safe hands after fishing line tangle BIRD observers worried about hooded plover seen limping Flinders ocean beach called for help from Birdlife Australia’s Dr Kasun Ekanayake, who was able to catch the bird.

The plover, which had been limping for two to three weeks, was then taken to the Main Ridge vet Dr Kristin Wolfe who untangled a length of fishing line embedded in the bird’s foot. The foot needed to have one toe amputated which had become gangrenous.

After overnighting at a house in Flinders, Dr Ekanayake returned the next morning (Thursday 10 March) and, with Friends of the Hooded Plover group member Penny Johns, took it back to the beach.

“After taking the dressing off the foot was found to be clean and healthy. The bird was given a small dose of an antibiotic, banded with a numbered metal band and an engraved flag, white TT,” Ms Johns said.

“It was quite overwhelming to see her run off along the beach and immediately start eating.”

Ms Johns said the plover was soon joined by a mate familiar to bird observers as it had been tagged in April 2013, making it nearly nine years old.

“The hooded plover is on the verge of extinction in Victoria with only 3000 individuals remaining in south-eastern Australia, and 550 in Victoria,” Ms Johns said.

“Dogs on beaches are one of their greatest threats because, if they have eggs or chicks and are disturbed, the adults will likely desert the nest.”

Anyone wanting to volunteer for the Friends of Hooded Plover Mornington Peninsula should go to hoodedplover.com or email Mark Lethlean at hploversmornpen@ gmail.com Keith Platt

Plan holds hope for kangaroos

Sam is a valued member of the Long Island Point team, and over the years he has remained vigilant and on the lookout for possible hazards in the field. He consistently looks to make the work site a safer place for his peers, other contractors on site and the client.

It’s great to have full confidence in our team as the plant excitingly takes the next steps to execute our ethane-generation project.

We are working to construct ethane-fired power generators that will be capable of converting excess ethane into 35-40 megawatts of electricity to power Victorian homes. In addition to providing power to the community, these generators will reduce flaring and help to ensure we can maintain our reliable supply of natural gas and natural gas liquids across the east coast.

WILDLIFE advocates are confident the fate of hundreds of kangaroos trapped at Cape Schanck is closer to being resolved after a meeting with Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning officers on Wednesday.

Mary Waterman from Save Mornington Peninsula Kangaroos said members concerned about the safety of the kangaroos, which were behind a locked gate on private property and could not escape, believed Delwp seemed responsive to their calls for the kangaroos to be released.

Ms Waterman said a permit application to control the wildlife through lethal means had been rejected, and SMPK was hopeful that Delwp would now follow it up with a request to the property manager to open the gates or install one-way gates for the kangaroos to disperse naturally.

She said the measures suggested should have been conducted in the first place and are stated in DELWP kangaroo and wallaby management guidelines.

SMPKs Craig Thomson said too many species were being lost in Australia, and the group wanted Delwp to fulfil its obligations to protect wildlife.

The kangaroos have been on the property for more than three months and are becoming stressed, and MPK says it will not give up the fight to get them back to safety.

Ms Waterman said Greens Bush was the kangaroos’ home, and opening the one-way gates to allow them back was the best option.

“That’s still what we hope for, so I am pushing that with Delwp, and hopefully we will get an answer soon,” she said.

FATHER BROWN

ABC TV, 7.30pm

Father Brown returns for its ninth season, with the guarantee of murder and intrigue brimming in the idyllic farming locale. This landmark season will conclude with the much-loved show’s 100th episode, set on New Year’s Eve at a fancy masked ball. Tonight, in “The Menace of Mephistopheles”, the clergyman (Mark Williams) faces a confounding mystery when Sergeant Goodfellow (John Burton) turns to him for help after he witnesses Inspector Mallory (Jack Deam) frame an innocent man.

SUNDAY

GRAND DESIGNS NEW ZEALAND

ABC TV, 7.40pm

Many of the people who feature in this creative building series like to think outside the box. With Sumita and Cameron Dale, it’s fair to say their dream home doesn’t really lend itself to any of these adjectives. The ex-police officers shun convention by buying a plot of land to build their “lighthouse” dwelling. Their strict budget and unusual home design – results in a building unlike any seen on this series. Tune in to see Chris Moller’s reaction.

MONDAY

THE AMAZING RACE

SEVEN, 8.40pm

Where there’s a will, there’s a way for a big-budget extravaganza such as The Amazing Race. After more than 30 seasons of aeronautic, cross-country hijinks hosted

by Phil Keoghan, this 33rd season was initially cut short because of the pandemic. Teams kicked off the competition in 2020, then resumed filming more than a year later in 2021; that’s a lot of time to revise and game plan. Tonight, the finish is on the horizon: it’s the final leg, with three teams left ready to take on the trip from Lisbon, Portugal, to Los Angeles California.

It has been almost four years since this genre-defying comedy graced the screen with a fresh batch of episodes. Following the Atlanta rap scene and the exploits of Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry), Earn (Donald Glover), Darius (LaKeith Stanfield), and Van (Zazie Beetz), this surreal, funny and thought-provoking series won the hearts and minds of critics and fans alike.

Tonight, season three finally lands, with the fourth and final season set to quickly follow next year. This season, the crew is transplanted to Europe, where culture shock and the struggle with success compounds on their successful tour. Expect the unexpected.

Donald Glover stars in Atlanta.

Red Hill Show wraps up with a huge event ON Saturday 12 March the showgrounds transformed into a colourful, appetizing and entertaining spectacle for the whole family. The Mornington Peninsula was on show!

Perfect weather set the scenes for the ideal family day out. No indications suggested record numbers would attend the 94th Red Hill Show but in the end around 15,000, many of those making the trip from Melbourne and further afield, purchased tickets that evening and on the day.

The Mornington Peninsula Paddock was filled with gourmet food, liquor and our five-star producers.

The MC Richard Cornish once again had the audience captivated on the MPP Stage with a host of special guests including Paul Mercurio judging the Golden Sausage Award, hotly contested with 30 entries and taken out by Balnarring Village Meats.

Fiona Hammond, Food Stylist and Adrian Lander, Photographer shared their knowledge on produce, to plate, presentation and the final photo.

Both the Fruit Cake Competition and Apple Pie Competition were a hit once again and thanks to Noela McCleod, AO for judging and the esteemed pastry chefs from William Angliss.

The 12th was coincidently National Cider Day and the cider marquee was busy with workshops and public tastings featuring six local producers.

The Red Hill Mead Show, now the largest in the country joined forces with Shoreham Beekeepers to inform, educate and entertain showgoers.

The new Horticultural Hangout sponsored by 3MP and supported by the Red Hill Garden Society and the Environmental Zones included wonderful presenters and workshops featuring Q&A with Keith Edwards & Elisabeth Kingman (Garden Girl) from Muddy Boots and Julie Bennett from Montalto Kitchen Garden/ Seeds are Free founder.

Garden guru John Patrick and Penny Woodward also graced the stage.

The live judging of the 1st Red Hill Show flower beard competition was a hoot and the weighing of the heaviest pumpkin, a crowd pleaser.

The show funded the Willum Warrain Indigenous Community marquee to sell their native plans grown at their bush nursery in Hastings.

Complimentary sites are given to all our community groups including The Koala Conservation Group, Landcare, Red Hill Tennis and so many more.

“As a not-for-profit organisation, the Red Hill A & H Society does our best to support our community where we can”, said Bec Davis, Executive Officer.

“With minimal reserves in the bank after the cancelled 2021 public event, it was touch and go, and we needed to have a successful show to survive.

“Our costs doubled this year partially due to Covid but also due to suppliers increasing prices. We thank everyone for supporting this community event and the profits made go back into ensuring a better show next year and infrastructure.”

Richer Than Gold: Artist Glenda Pitt with some of her work at the gallery. Picture: Gary Sissons

Imagining the white expanse VISITORS to the Oak Hill Gallery in Mornington have the opportunity to explore Antarctica visually and learn about the changing environment.

With Antarctica containing 90 per cent of the Earth’s ice, the region is a major cooling factor for the Earth.

Artist Glenda Pitt, who says the Antarctica is also under threat from climate change and warming weather, has put together a fascinating exhibition showcasing her interpretations of parts of Antarctica as she imagines them to be; vast, desolate and freezing – down to minus 40 degrees celsius.

Her exhibition has a strong environmental message, and is a stark waring of what may be

the Earth’s future under a changing climate.

“The whiteness of Antarctic’s ice reflects heat and the Ozone layer in the stratosphere above Antarctica prevents the sun’s rays from overheating us,” she said.

“Due to excess global emissions of CO2 this Ozone layer is shrinking and thinning, thereby letting more of the sun’s heat through. It’s like leaving the fridge door open – and guess what happens next?”

Pitt said all profits from sales will go to welfare organisation Fusion Australia that supports the Mornington Peninsula’s homeless youth.

Oak Hill Gallery is at 100 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington. Phone 5973 4299.

The time for arguing about the Jetty Road overpass is over Just like when Greg Hunt couldn’t be bothered to meet with Pfizer (The Guardian, 8/9/21), every single resident of Rosebud also knows that Greg made an election promise on the Jetty Road overpass. The back and forth through the local newspaper does no one any favours.

I urge Greg, please don’t do a Scott Morrison.

Take responsibility for the fact that you made an election promise to deliver the Jetty Road overpass in 2019. Get in touch with us so we can set up a meeting with you and the Department of Transport so you can provide the money required for the overpass.

I’m starting to think Greg never really had any intention of delivering the overpass and only said it to get over the hump of the 2019 election.

Because if he’d truly cared about this issue, he might have made it at the 2016 election or 2013 election, or even going back to his 2001 election. Instead, he made it at the tail end of his time as an MP. Moving forward, election promises made by either party on the Mornington Peninsula must be honoured. Our community should expect nothing less..

Chris Brayne, MP for Nepean

Overpass passé?

Who needs a $30 million dollar overpass at Jetty Road roundabout (“Money on the table” Letters 15/3/22)? No one.

A solar powered pedestrian crossing would work on the south side and would not be much of a disruption to traffic.

Even a pedestrian bridge would be much less expensive. The Federal Highway Administration estimates that pedestrian bridges range from $150 to $250 per square foot, totalling a cost of approximately $1 million to $5 million per complete installation.

That and saves $ 55 million that can be spent on Mornington Peninsula Freeway noise abatement using solar technology that pays for the abatement itself.

Where has Hunt been since 2019? Obviously too lazy to follow up on his “promises” and get them on board. Quite happy to just sit back and do nothing.

Being as we are fully aware that the COALition has a problem with the Truth I would like Mr Hunt to document where this was in the budgets since 2019 and what he has done to expedite it.

Same questions for the funds in the budget for Mornington Peninsula Freeway. Just what has he done to release and expedite the $60 million?

Shucks, if I didn’t know better I would think that there is an election on and he is grasping at some straws from the deck of a sinking ship.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Hard work being an MP I’m astonished that there are people out there who seem to believe that an MP’s job is simply to turn up to Parliament when it is sitting! It reminds me of my early job in a bank when people would say I had a cushy job because banks were only open between 10am and 3pm!

Has your correspondent not seen MPs on evening and weekend TV programs, turning up at community events and suchlike? Add to that the workload of a senior Minister, dealing with all the ramifications of the pandemic, taking and making calls at all times of the night because the rest of the world is not on Australian time, etc., etc. Then there is travel around the country, not to mention between Canberra and Mt Martha i.e. the office and home.

I suspect your correspondent wouldn’t last a week in Greg Hunt’s shoes.

Jack Wheeler, Mornington

No Greg Hunt I ask residents in Flinders to consider this before voting for the Liberal candidate.

Zoe McKenzie doesn’t live here, she only just moved into her holiday house in Sorrento to run for pre-selection.

Ms McKenzie initially wanted to get preselection in the seat of Higgins (2019) which is nearly five electorates away from Flinders.

Zoe McKenzie is a career politician, she tried for pre-selection somewhere else, didn’t make it,

PAGE 18

Western Port News

23 March 2022

and now is using Flinders to get in, rather than genuinely care about either of the Higgins or Flinders electorate.

I also ask you, the readers, to consider this, does Scott Morrison deserve another three years in Kirribilli house? I don’t think so.

If you don’t either, you mustn’t vote for Zoe McKenzie, for the fact she isn’t connected to this community, and a vote for her is a vote for Scott Morrison and Barnaby Joyce.

Zoe McKenzie is spending big this election, with signs and billboards and offices, and wrapt cars, but is she spending the time to actually listen to us?

She says our community needs this and that, well Zoe McKenzie is running for the incumbent party.

Ms McKenzie’s party created or rather, didn’t do anything to prevent or fix those issues, why should we trust giving her three years will do anything? It hasn’t before, and she does not even live here permanently.

Zoe McKenzie is no Greg Hunt, at the very least Greg Hunt listened, lived in, and knew our community. Zoe doesn’t, and just wants us to put her on that nice salary and send her to Canberra.

This election, don’t let our community get taken advantage of for another career politician again. Whether it is Surbhi Snowball and Labor, or another candidate, your vote matters this election. Vote for a new, local, perspective.

Fin Fowler, Mornington

Lights not activated I read with interest comments attributed to both the Department of Transport and the Mornington Shire Council that the highest priority was safety regarding the activation of the new pedestrian lights in Bungower Road near St Macartans Primary School.

But what is the real reason for the extended delay in activating these lights which began construction in March 2021 and were effectively completed in July 2021?

Did the Council obtain the approval of the plans by the Department of Transport prior to construction? Surely the proximity to the railway line would have been clear on those plans? I believe they did; but the Department of Transport did not raise any issues with the railway until the lights were ready to be activated.

It seems to me that the delay has very little to do with safety but more to do with funding and neither party wants to pay for the unscheduled works.

If Council proceeded without approval, then it is their responsibility, if the Department of Transport did not consider the need for synchronisation of the lights with the train stop light signals, then they should accept responsibility.

The primary function of these lights is to make it safe for children and their family members to get to school Mondays to Fridays, primary students going to St Macartans and secondary students attending Padua College and Mornington Secondary would probably make up the bulk of the users; the train runs on a Sunday only.

With $400,000 already spent, why does it take over nine months after this problem was discovered and still there is no agreement?

If you can’t tell us the truth, the least you can do is fix the problem and move on.

Ryman risk The Letter by F & J Hoogenrand of Patterson Lakes (“Support Ryman” Letters 15/3/22) demonstrate yet again another case of people living outside an area not understanding local issues.

The attitudes displayed in this correspondence are a total misrepresentation of the Ryman development proposed on the former Business School site on Kunyung Road, Mount Eliza.

The down-playing that this a sleepy little seaside retirement facility for elderly people to live out their twilight years is a gross falsification of the truth.

The development proposed is the size of a suburb perched precariously above a vulnerable piece of coastline. This is a multi-storey, high density development that will increase the area’s population by thousands.

Most people complain about a particular burger chain popping up near their beaches –

how about a suburb resplendent with retail and entertainment at the end of your quiet residential street?

Ryman intend to turn the whole property into a vision of bricks and concrete and plant it with non-indigenous plantings that will inevitably escape to the precious coastal scrub surrounding the development.

They plan to effectively discharge stormwater straight onto Moondah Beach, which as we know infrastructure during recent weather events is already woefully inadequate in the Mount Eliza area. Reduced parking on the facility will also see an increase in motor vehicle activity in the area right next to a busy primary school.

Tragically the site of a recent road accident that involved an elderly driver and parents parking for school pick up.

Wouldn’t retirees in their twilight years prefer to enjoy their days walking along a pristine beach rather than one that is overshadowed by large buildings, covered in refuse from storm water run off and covered in weed species that have completely invaded an unstable escarpment and run out of the area local animals and birds?

Multi-national companies have done such a magnificent job with protecting the environment so far, we can absolutely trust them in this case?

I’d rather not chance it thanks.

Rebecca Taylor, Mt Eliza

Protection welcomed The protection that the C270morn amendment will finally grant the Moondah estate is hardly a ‘downside’, (“Support Ryman” Letters 15/3/22) but a welcome response to years of community outcry at the gross overdevelopment proposed by the multinational Ryman corporation.

This development, with its five-year construction period, high-density towers, retail precinct and thousands of residents, is sorely out of place in both height and scale, unprecedented on the peninsula. It sits outside the urban growth boundary and has been roundly rejected by local residents, MPSC (with a record number of objections), VCAT (following a massive crowdfunding campaign) and our local member, David Morris.

To label this development a ‘heritage win’ is laughable, with apartment blocks proposed to dwarf the mansion. While restoration was completed on the gatehouse, the most visible part of the property, this was required by heritage law, not done out of any concern for history

by Ryman. The last time any members of the public were admitted to the property, a year ago, the facade of the mansion was observed to be in a worrying state of disrepair. Precious little has actually been done in the seven years since Ryman purchased Moondah.

The bid by Ryman to build this development is a cynical attempt to ‘rewrite history’- with a tacked on ‘place of worship’ and one aged care wing, they seek to exploit a loophole in a zoning overlay that never intended development to this size and scale outside the Urban Growth Boundary.

The community has spoken clearly: this is an unprecedented, city-like complex that has no place here. Those who refer to this development as a ‘jewel in the crown’ of our home, do not live here, or understand this community, and seek only to carve it up for their own profit, benefit or vested interest. They have millions of dollars to gain, and our community has everything to lose.

Pamela Ross, Mt Eliza

Two birds with one stone Let’s kill two birds with one stone. Recently we had the Hoogenraads of Patterson Lakes (“Support Ryman” Letters 15/3/22), obviously seeing themselves as Ryman Pioneers, dressed up and ready for the razzle dazzle of a Ryman Healthcare Retirement Settlement as depicted on our television commercials. The Good Life with flash dancing and extravagant Bohemian behaviours minus the zimmer walking frames and walking sticks of course. Weary Dunlop would probably turn over in his grave.

This is the NZ property developer who wants the pioneering iconography of Sir Reginald Ansett featuring in their portfolio of retirement settlements having snared Sir Edward Weary Dunlop’s name already over in suburban Glen Waverley. Well the good news is that there is a surplus to requirements pre-built ready to move in, nursing home on the corner of Mt Eliza Way and the Nepean Highway just waiting for Ryman to quit themselves of 60-70 Kunyung Road ex

Melbourne University Business School and prior to that the Moondah Hotel, and to re-badge and expand the current Eliza Terraces site.

Perhaps with a slight jigging, Ryman could cash in on the Walter Burley Griffin icon and somehow transition into the Ranelagh Estate.

Food for thought and cash to splash, we Mt Elizans would benefit both ways. Ryman out of the Kunyung area and into God’s own land of the Ranelagh Estate. Perhaps an inhouse discount could be attained for immediate admissions from Ranelagh and even Patterson Lakes into the revitalised Burley Griffin Fun Palace for aspirational pioneers.

Ian Morrison, Mt Eliza

Coalition position Does anyone know where Matthew Guy and the Coalition will stand in future on annual property rates levied by local governments?

If by some miracle the Coalition is voted in later this year, I want to know will they allow municipal governments to revert to determining their own council rates charges based on their own budget estimates of their own future revenue needs? If so, this really amounts to giving licence to our councillors to financially exploit their local communities.

At present , the annual rates capping system , although far from perfect, at least provides a check and balance , on councils. Who if left to their own devices, may return to the bad old days of laissez-faire ( self-regulation) when some municipal councils ( over) charged their hapless property owners in order to force us to compensate them for any perceived shortfall in State and Federal funding.

I believe the laissez-faire policy failed Victorian ratepayers. It allowed councils to “price gouge” and spend rates extravagantly on overseas junkets. If there is any evidence of self-regulation in local government working , I haven’t seen it and neither has the Independent Commission Against Corruption ( IBAC) who state they are under-resourced and can’t deal with all the of its corruption investigations and public complaints against the Victorian police, local government, and state government departments.

Assange abandonned Sad news that Julian Assange, captive in a British jail, has been denied an appeal against deportation to the U.S. to face alleged breaches of American laws which will almost certainly result in a life sentence in an American jail.

His heinous crime was to publish in “Wikileaks”, proven, indisputable facts and video documents showing atrocities and war crimes committed against civilians in the Iraq invasion and occupation.

He was a whistleblower.

I am still sickened every time I see the Wikileaks video “Collateral murder”.

It has not gone unnoticed that our Prime Minister, Mr. Morrison, has said or done nothing to intervene with the Assange case and defend free speech, whistleblowers, freedom, and an Australian citizen.

This says a lot to me.

Bargain dining The Continental Hotel is quibbling over the rent to be paid for the 172 seat outdoor dining area.

The proposed rent for the first year is $38,000 equivalent to $0.61 per day per seat!

My bet is that every restaurant owner in Sorrento would be more than happy to pay this rental for their premises.

Bill Holmes, Sorrento

Pie apology I owe an apology to Magpie supporters and to Father Kevin Mogg I said he had only one fault he supported “Pies”. It should have read Kangas.

Most of the boys he had coached at West Heidelberg went on to play at Collingwood Under 19’s or in some cases the Firsts, hence my mistake.

I should have listened to my wife.

Kevin’s brother, Les played 75 games for the Kangas.

Of course Father Kevin was a Kanga.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Peninsula Motor Ambulance proposal advances Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR. J. Jack, organiser in connection with the Peninsula Motor Ambulance Brigade, completed his campaign on Friday evening last, after spending a fortnight travelling the proposed area, between Aspendale and Portsea.

He feels confident that the brigade will soon be an accomplished fact.

In every place visited the people proved to be almost unanimously in favour of the proposal, and seed was sown which should produce a good harvest in the near future.

The final meeting held at Mornington on Friday evening proved very successful.

On 15th March the Bittern Progress Asosciation held the first of a series of concerts and dances to be held in aid of the Motor Ambulance Brigade, and was the most successful entertainment ever held in Bittern.

Almost every person in the district was present.

Nearly all the takings went into the fund, as artists, music and all the nice things to eat were provided free.

Mr. Jack presided, and apologised for being unable to compose words to sufficiently express the gratitude of the Bittern Progress Association for the manner in which the people answered the call, when appealed to, to help in a good cause.

The programme was as follows: Overture, Mr. Graham; song, “The Bandalero,” Mr. Ovens; recitation, Mr. T. Allen; violin solo, “Cavaleria Rusticana,” Mr. Jarrett; song, “The Swiss Mountaineer,” Mr. Prowse; song, “When the Great Red Dawn is Shining,” Mr. Edwards; comic, “Dance With Your Uncle Joseph,” Mr. Kirkham.

The same artists provided the second part of the programme, and finished about 10 o’clock.

In every case there were numerous encores. The singing was of the highest order, and Mr. Graham, at the piano, was the delight of the evening, as he is a perfect master at the piano.

The chairman gave a brief explanation of the ambulance scheme to a very attentive audience, and concluded with a hearty vote of thanks to all who assisted, which concluded the concert, after which the young people and a few of the middle-aged engaged in tripping the fantastic to the music of Messrs.

Graham, Williamson, Rayment, McKone, and Mrs. Van Suylen, till the wee small hours of the morn.

Thus ended the most enjoyable evening spent in Bittern for many years. *** AT the Frankston Police Court the other day the police magistrate dismissed the case against a local orchardist who was charged with shooting with intent a man who had entered his orchard.

It was proved that the victim had received a charge of saltpetre in the leg.

More than ordinary interest attached to the proceedings, particularly amongst district fruitgrowers, who may, or may not, at one time or another, have been tempted to indulge in a little pop-gun exercise.

Defendant in the case under notice admitted that he fired from a gun containing a saltpetre cartridge, but contended that when he got up in the middle of the night and made a tour of his orchard he was in search of stray dogs which had disturbed his slumbers.

It was in the course of his midnight peregrinations that he discerned a black

object about 30ft. away, and thinking he had located one of his unwelcome canine visitors he discharged his little lot of saltpetre.

The bench accepted this explanation, which, in view of defendant’s irreproachable character, is no doubt the correct one.

The case, however, will serve to make many people think – particularly the gentry who are in the habit of paying nocturnal visits to outlying orchards and robbing the fruitgrowers of their livelihood, or a considerable portion of it.

The operations of orchard thieves have been carried out on a grand scale during recent years, adding materially to the sum of trials and difficulties orchardists are compelled to contend with in the ordinary course of their avocation.

To the fruitgrower, encouraged to use sprayers for the destruction and prevention of insect pests, a spray of saltpetre might naturally suggest itself as an effective remedy for the two-legged pest.

The grocer or the baker who discovers a midnight intruder denuding his shelves of goods, would be justified in protecting his property even to the extent of using a little cold lead.

On the same principle orchardists might be inclined to argue that the orchard is their shop and that recourse to firearms for the protection of their goods would be equally justifiable.

The argument may seem sound enough, but in actual practice it would work out disastrously to all parties concerned.

Orchardists must not shoot at thieves who steal their fruit and destroy their trees.

They may capture them and hand them over to justice.

The expert fruit stealer may consider this cause for congratulation, but he must also consider that he may at any time be mistaken for a dog or other stray animal, and a charge of saltpetre is not more acceptable to a man than to one of the canine species. *** A DISASTROUS fire occurred at Frankston on Friday night last, when the house owned and occupied by Mr. Chas. Leadbeater was absolutely destroyed, together with its contents.

Mr. and Mrs. Leadbeater, with their six small children, were in the house at the time.

The fire was first noticed at about 7.30 o’clock, and although the local fire brigade was smartly on the scene, the flames had complete mastery in a very few minutes.

Mr. Leadbeater is unable to account for the outbreak, and considerable sympathy is felt for him in his misfortune. *** CONSTABLE Phillips arrested a young man named Charles Swift in Bay Street, Frankston, on Saturday last.

Swift, who was drunk, was using indecent language.

He appeared at the Frankston Court on Monday morning, before Messrs. C. V. G. Williams and W. Armstrong, J.’s P., and was fined £5 or one month on the indecent language charge and £2 or three days for being drunk.

He went to gaol; Senior-constable Bray conducted the prosecution. *** The Pier Hotel, Frankston, has undergone extensive renovations since Mr. Taylor took over the management a few

FULLY COMMITTED SHOWROOM INVESTMENT

weeks ago.

As indicated in these columns recently, Mr. Taylor hails from Williamstown, and he is now giving Frankston a sample of the progressive spirit which marked his residence in the port “where the big ships come in from places far away.”

He has the distinction of being the founder of the Williamstown Punt Club, an institution which grew from a very small beginning to one of the largest affairs of its kind in the state.

Mr. Taylor evidently possesses a high sense of the duties of citizenship, for his Williaimstown record shows that he was identified with all the leading organisations of the place, and, in many cases took the lead in promoting movements for the benefit of the town in which he lived.

He has made a good start in Frankston, and now that he has put his own house in order, we may expect to see him joining up with our various local institutions, which all count materially in the progress of the district. *** Porter Len. Gray, while engaged in shunting operations at the Frankston railway station on Friday last, was struck by a tail rope across the stomach.

He appeared to be severely injured, but after being treated by Dr. Maxwell, he was able to proceed to his home in Melbourne.

He will not be able to resume duty for some days. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 24 March 1922

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Silver Jubilee Cracker Cremation

By Stuart McCullough IT’S here! Without much in the way of fanfare, it’s finally arrived. Rejoice! Let the band strike up and brace yourself for the kind of tickertape parade that’ll look like your local Officeworks just exploded. With year of our Lord 2022 now upon us, embedded and moving like the clappers, we can now celebrate one of the most significant anniversaries within living memory or otherwise.

I, for one, can barely contain myself.

Granted, containing myself is an odd task; one I usually perform by wrapping myself in sticky tape, but it’s no use – such is the extent of my excitement that I’m oozing out all over the place. Put simply, I am totally pumped.

So much so that my buttons are in danger of bursting off my shirt, such is the strain. I’ve been waiting for this moment, it feels, forever and I am giddy at the fact of it finally being here. I speak, of course, of my father’s cheese crackers.

If that sounds underwhelming; these, it must be said, are no ordinary cheese crackers. I know how it goes for most people – they buy savoury biscuits and then, at some point, they eat them. Not my father. He was more taken with the tin rather than the contents and proudly put it on display, above the kitchen bench on a shelf. Without fear of exaggeration, it’s quite the bit of packaging; with a Renaissance-era painting of a damsel in flowing robes. Which is quite the statement for a biscuit. You don’t get that with an Iced Vo Vo. I’m sure it’s not just my father who puts these kinds of things on the kitchen bench for all and sundry to admire. I

guess others might have had a similarly visceral response to a biscuit tin if it was to a particular standard. They too might have put it on display to impress visitors. However, most people would have done something to account for the

contents of the tin. That is, they would probably have emptied it. Not my father – he’s made of sterner stuff. He’s left the tin unopened.

Leaving the contents of a biscuit tin in an unconsumed state is something

WHAT'S NEW...

Unframed Art 2022 WE invite you to join Peninsula Home Hospice for the third Unframed Art silent auction on April 2. The highest bidder wins!

Many significant artists live and work on the Mornington Peninsula and they, with talented emerging artists, have donated forty paintings to the Unframed Art silent auction and art show.

You may recognise the style of one of your favourites or be captivated by the work of newer artists and have the opportunity to buy at a great price.

What makes this art show unique? The artist has signed only the back of the painting. You will know the identity of the artist only when you have purchased your artwork!

All funds raised from the show will help fund overnight respite care for clients of Peninsula Home Hospice. Palliative care is for anyone of

any age (from babies to older adults) who are diagnosed with a life-limiting illness. Palliative care identifies and treats symptoms and issues associated with the illness, which may be physical, emotional, spiritual or social.

This service is provided free-of-charge to those living within the Mornington Peninsula Shire, City of Frankston and City of Kingston (south of Mordialloc Creek). Peninsula Home Hospice is fortunate to receive support from the Victorian Government but also relies on community fundraising to supplement our funding and ensure we can provide our service to all in our community that need it.

When: 2/04/2022 Where: Southern Buoy Studios, 1/19 Carbine Way, Mornington Tickets: www.unframed-art.com

you can get away with for a time. But not for decades. That biscuit tin has now been occupying pride of place in my father’s kitchen since the 1990s.

More than a mere receptacle for longexpired biscuits, the tin is now something of a time capsule.

In fact, I’d go so far as to say that the tin is so much more than just a decorative biscuit container – it’s a tomb for some long-expired cheese crackers. This savoury sarcophagus has remained unopened, now, for more than a quarter of a century. 2022 isn’t just another year. It is, in fact, the twentyfifth anniversary of the use-by date.

It’s printed on the seal: 30 June 1997.

That’s the date by which the biscuits were supposed to be consumed. It has to be said that my father has a history of treating use-by dates, at best, as a loose advisory and, at worst, with breath-taking contempt. It seems that for some people, pushing the envelope is a matter of gently positioning a piece of stationary. For my father, however, he is pushing that envelope right off the nearest cliff.

Exceeding the use by date by a quarter of a century is no small feat (although, ironically, my father has quite small feet, but that’s another story). It’s the silver jubilee. The only question is how best to celebrate it: commemorative coin or stamp? I, for one, look forward to receiving a letter through the post that has a picture of a cheese cracker biscuit tin as postage on the front.

The one thing we can’t do with the tin, however, is open it. Who knows what kind of foul smelling remnants

are rotting behind the tin façade? For all I know, the pressure of the decaying matter has resulted in some kind of vacuum, and breaking the seal will cause some type of large-scale explosion that won’t so much rattle the cutlery as it will be seen from space.

Maybe it’ll be like that scene in ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’, where the Nazis prise open the Ark of the Covenant (which, if you think about it, would make quite the biscuit tin), letting slip a host of evil spirits that wreak a merciless vengeance on all who dare gaze upon them. You never know.

If that sounds like a lot to expect from a biscuit, then I can only say you clearly managed to avoid eating one of the revamped Barbecue Shapes before they quickly returned to the original recipe.

(People are willing to accept the notion of ‘chicken in a biscuit’. Those things were evil in a biscuit.) The taste was so bad that, after eating one, I didn’t know whether to rinse my mouth out or call a priest.

In the end, I suspect the big day will come and go without any real fanfare.

The fate of the cheese crackers was, much like the tin they’re in, sealed long ago. I dare say that they’ll be there in another twenty-five years and, frankly, may outlive us all. Maybe I’ll send it a card. Or a gift. It’ll be cheese, most likely. In truth, I’m not sure if my father ever thought of emptying the tin and never got around to it or simply forgot it was there. Perhaps it doesn’t matter. Sometimes things just turn out that way. After all, that’s the way the cookie, or cracker, crumbles. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Old Peninsula, Pines, Dromana and Seaford clinch titles

By Brodie Cowburn

PROVINCIAL

OLD Peninsula are the premiers of the MPCA Provincial division.

Saturday’s Grand Final saw Old Peninsula take on Sorrento at Peninsula Grammar School.

Old Peninsula batted first on the day.

They put together a strong innings, finishing up at 7/217.

Thomas La Brooy’s unbeaten score of 79 was his side’s best.

Sorrento were competitive, but ended up falling short of their target. They were bowled out for 180.

William Crowder was one of the difference makers. His five wicket haul (5/26) helped restrict Sorrento’s total.

Old Peninsula emerged triumphant

by 37 runs, securing them the premiership.

PENINSULA

A BRILLIANT bowling performance helped Pines clinch the MPCA Peninsula division title on Saturday.

Pines were sent in to bat first against Somerville at Eric Bell Reserve in the Grand Final. They had some difficulties at the crease, ending up all out for 158.

Somerville bowler Aaron Kaddatz was excellent. He posted figures of 5/26, which included the wickets of both opening batters.

Somerville couldn’t get any momentum going during their run chase.

They started off poorly, with the scoreboard reading 4/38 at one point, and never recovered.

Despite a valiant late showing from batter Jack Kennedy, Somerville couldn’t get the job done. They were bowled out for 119, handing Pines the title.

DISTRICT

DROMANA and Carrum Downs faced off in a thrilling Grand Final clash on Saturday.

Dromana batted first on their home deck. Their top order failed to put big scores on the board, but their middle order was in good form.

Jack Fowler came in at number five and lit the game up. His unbeaten 74 was by far his side’s best.

Fowler’s big score helped his side get to a final total of 7/165 from 40 overs.

Carrum Downs started their innings in a patient manner. Both openers dug in for a while, but cracks started to show once they were dismissed.

Losing opener Gordon Waterfall for just 17 was a blow for Carrum Downs.

He has been excellent this season, finishing with four half-centuries to his name.

Despite their best efforts, time ended up working against Carrum Downs.

Their 40 overs expired when they still needed 11 more runs to win.

They had to work for it, but Dromana successfully defended their total to claim the premiership.

SUB DISTRICT

SEAFORD defeated Tyabb on Saturday to get their hands on the Sub Dis-

trict division trophy.

The Grand Final was played at RF Miles Reserve. Seaford batted first, and looked in fine form.

Led by a half century from opener Aaron Bardwell, Seaford set Tyabb a target of 216 to win. Bardwell has found form at the right time - he has scored 61, 60, and 60 in his last three games.

Tyabb started well and at 0/55 they looked in with a chance. Their next three wickets fell for just two runs, stopping any momentum that was building in its tracks.

Tyabb couldn’t get their innings back up and running, and ended up all out for 151.

Seaford emerged as premiers with a 64 run win.

Weekend to remember for stable’s star siblings HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou IT was a weekend to remember for the connections of dual-Group 1 winner Streets of Avalon and his full-sister Orlando Grove.

The Shane Nichols-trained gelding was brave to place third in the world’s richest mile race, the $5million All-Star Mile, at Flemington on Saturday before his promising full-sister, also trained

by Nichols, made a winning return at Yarra Valley on the Sunday.

It took two highly talented gallopers in Zaaki and I’m Thunderstruck to beat the tough seven-year-old who picked up $360,000 in prize money for placing third, beaten just over two lengths.

Mornington-based trainer Shane Nichols was over the moon with the geldings run.

“It’s interesting isn’t it. You run third and you’re pretty thrilled,” Nichols said. “It’s a $5million race and he did present up really well and was strong enough through the line. It took Zaaki and I’m Thunderstruck to roll him so it was a huge effort.”

“He hasn’t won since the Orr Stakes (Feb 2021) but he’s run a few nice races and placed a couple of times so it’s nice to get a big cheque like that.

The ownership group and myself have become quite close and it’s been a terrific ride.”

Nichols said a trip to Sydney for the Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m)

on April 16 will likely be Streets of Avalon’s next target.

“He’s been to Sydney once before and failed but it was over a mile and it was a long time ago so hopefully he’ll be a more experienced traveler now.

Weight-for-age, 1400m is his sweet spot,” he said.

Backing up her brothers gallant performance, Orlando Grove made her resumption at Yarra Valley, where, under the urgings of apprentice jockey Kiran Quilty, she made every post a winner to lead all of the way and win by just over a length.

That was the four-year-old mare’s second win after breaking her maiden in January last year.

“It was really pleasing,” Nichols said post-race.

“Just that last preparation her condition wasn’t right and I wasn’t that happy with her but she’s been able to come here today and win so it’s a nice way to start off the new prep.”

Nichols was complimentary of his stable apprentice’s ride to take up the lead after landing midfield from the barriers.

“She’s really improved over the last few months and she’s gathering a bit of momentum now,” Nichols said.

“She’s not getting a stack of rides but she’s riding a lot of winners which is important for them. I would say that she’s one of the better claiming country apprentices at the moment.”

Five-star performance from Pines SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines’ title tilt got off to a flyer last Friday night when it smashed visitor Brighton 5-0 at Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve.

Pines made no secret of its State 3 ambitions during the off-season and although it’s just one game in it has reclaimed the ladder position it had cemented before last season’s shutdown.

A Liam Baxter hat-trick underpinned this result as the visitors couldn’t contain the experienced Scottish striker and ex-NPL hit man.

Baxter put Pines ahead in the 12th minute when he finished a Tom Hawkins’ cutback from the right and three minutes later Brighton had a mountain to climb when Joe O’Connor was at the back post as Brighton failed to clear from a corner.

A Shoan Kondhalkar own goal and Baxter’s brace in the second half completed a dominant display by the home side.

In State 1 action Oliver Walker-Peel reports that Mornington got its 2022 league campaign under way with a hard-fought 3-1 win against Richmond at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday.

The sides were locked at 0-0 at the break but just after the restart Seagulls’ captain Wayne Gordon fired home from close range following a cleverly worked free-kick routine.

The visitors restored parity not long after when Hamied Zamari’s goalbound free-kick from 25 metres crept in at Taylor Davidson’s near post.

But two goals in the last five minutes of normal time sealed Richmond’s fate.

Seagulls’ substitute and academy graduate Tom Wood put the hosts back in front when he tapped home from inside the six-yard box for his first league goal.

Josh Hine completed the scoring minutes later to seal all three points.

A great through ball in behind the Richmond defence set the Englishman free before he cleverly rounded Richmond shot-shopper Chris Kaev then slid the ball into an empty net.

In NPL2 Langwarrin christened the floodlights on the main pitch at Lawton Park on Saturday evening but Werribee City spoiled the party with a late winner.

It was all about Rogan’s reaction and Fraser’s fumble.

A goalless first half was followed by an explosive incident in the 58th minute.

Tom Youngs was felled by a lunging tackle from behind by Werribee’s Nemanja Spasojevic.

Recently appointed Langy captain Rogan McGeorge wanted a piece of the action running up to Spasojevic and shoving him to the ground.

Referee Luke Camilleri booked both players and McGeorge was sent off as he was already on a yellow card.

The 10 men looked likely to escape with a point until a long free-kick was floated into the Langy area.

Fraser Maclaren had come off his line to effect what should have been a simple take but he spilled the ball and Spasojevic pounced striking it home.

In State 2 Skye United lost 4-1 to Knox City at Egan Lee Reserve on Saturday.

It was a dismal performance from the visitors who had no answer to hat-trick hero Daniel Aye and Daniel Walsh’s second half penalty after Mitch Blake was brought down inside the area was small consolation.

It was a different story at Centenary Park on Sunday as Peninsula Strikers fought back from a 1-0 half-time deficit to beat North Caulfield 2-1.

Joel Parasol had given the visitors a 17th minute lead but Kiwi striker Riley Anderton turned the contest on its head after the interval.

An errant Ahmed Tabbara pass had led to North Caulfield’s goal but Tabbara’s pass led to Anderton’s equaliser in the 52nd minute.

Anderton went past a defender then slotted the ball in at the near post.

His winner came in the 73rd minute

dismissed for violent conduct.

O’Connell was replaced by Luke Grant in the 65th minute but by now Endeavour was starting to gain control and Peter Yinka-Kehinde was running riot up front.

His movement and ability to turn defenders was now an ever-present threat and it was no surprise when he levelled in the 78th minute when he got free on the right of the area and struck a well-placed shot past Baxter keeper James Foster.

Yinka-Kehinde proceeded to torment Baxter but poor finishing enabled the home side to cling on to a point.

Somerville Eagles won 2-1 away against Lyndale United on Saturday.

The visitors led after seven minutes when Tom Simmons finished well from inside the area but a Connor Guyett own goal saw the sides go to the break at 1-1.

Somerville coach Lee Barber switched from a 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2 formation for the second half but despite creating more chances the visitors had to wait until the 78th minute for supersub Guil Ribeiro to slot home the winner following a pinpoint cross from the right.

Chelsea was due to play Keysborough away on Sunday night as we went to press.

In State 5 Aspendale Stingrays started the season with a fine away win while Mount Martha lost 4-3 away to

when he was at the back post to head home from a Huss Chehimi corner.

The big news in State 4 was the switch of veteran goalscoring machine Dave Greening from Somerville Eagles to Baxter 48 hours before Saturday’s 1-1 home draw with Endeavour United.

Greening had missed pre-season so he started on the bench but when Lawrence Komba added to Baxter’s mounting injury list the “Green Machine” came on in the 23rd minute.

Despite missing Nat Daher (hamstring), Matt McDermott (ankle), Jack Elliot (broken foot), Jack Buttery (unavailable), Joey Bucello (unavailable), Mick Richardson (broken foot) and Ash Atkin (groin strain) Baxter had the better of the first half.

Baxter midfielder Charlie O’Connell had attracted the attention of Endeavour United early in the contest and when he was brought down inside the area in the 38th minute up stepped Greening and Baxter led 1-0.

The opposition’s physical approach to dealing with O’Connell continued in the second half and came to a head in the 53rd minute.

Endeavour’s Obed Baheerathan was involved in an ugly off-the-ball clash with O’Connell and while the victim recovered Baheerathan was sent off.

As was Baxter’s Daniel Fernandes who had reacted angrily to the incident and after the match referee Aurel Ioana confirmed that both had been

South East United last weekend.

Both of Aspendale’s regular keepers were out of action so reserves outfield player Jordy Athanassiou stepped in to the breach keeping a clean sheet in both the reserves and seniors.

A superb strike by Taylan Yildirim put Aspendale ahead in the first half and Ben Garside scored in the second period.

Mount Martha went its season opener minus seven first teamers due to injury and illness.

Mitch Hawkins scored twice in the first 11 minutes but it was 2-2 at halftime and although Hawkins won the penalty that enabled Connor Mooney to convert from the spot in the second half the home side scored twice to secure the points.
