Golf club in the rough over lease Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE not-for-profit club which has been running Devilbend Golf Course for the past 43 years may be sidelined to make way for a commercial manager. Mornington Peninsula Shire officers have told councillors that appointing a manager for the 18-hole golf course in Loders Rd, Moorooduc would create “a reasonable commercial return to council”. The recommendation to advertise for a manager follows a request for renewal of its 21-year lease by the 450-member Devilbend Golf Club.

The club has six full time and seven part time staff and last year showed a net operating profit of $71,642 from a turnover of $1.36 million. The curent annual rent is $10,233. In a report to council this week (Wednesday 26 April) property operations team leader Greg Collins says the latest profit followed “a net loss of $107,676 due largely to unforeseen legal and salary expenses”. The report was dropped from the agenda on Monday without further explanation, although councillors expect the issue will be revisited. Mr Collins says granting the club a third 21-year lease over the Crown

land “would limit council control over the property to the terms and conditions of the lease”. He then quotes the Leasing Policy for Crown land in Victoria 2010 which states that “granting exclusive occupation of Crown land under a lease should not occur except where it can be justified in terms of benefit to the community” and “proposals to lease Crown land need to demonstrate the application of sustainable management principles”. The Devilbend club has been following a master plan since 2005 which has involved extensive tree planting and weed control in conjunction with Mel-

bourne Water, the shire’s natural systems team and several federally funded green army teams. “Improvements on the land include an 18-hole golf course, club house, pro shop, car park and sealed driveway, maintenance and machinery storage sheds and extensive irrigation and drainage including a 46 megalitre dam,” Mr Collins states in his report. In the 10 years to 2016 the club spent $760,000 on course improvements (not including of staff/volunteer labour); $41,900 on maintenance; and $594,000 to buy machinery. Mr Collins gives two examples of public golf courses on Crown land be-

ing run commercially: Bay Views at Rosebud and Morack in Vermont, although the City of Whitehorse is yet to appoint the successful tenderer. He said granting the Devilbend club a five-year lease would allow council to work on a transition from the club to commercial management. The club would also have “security” for equipment leases. He said the club could use the course if a commercial manager was appointed but “no longer carry the risk of managing the facilities”. Mr Collins recommended that the shire calls for expressions of interest for the lease of the golf course.

Sports club to fight rent rise Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Hastings Cricket and Football Social Club is contesting plans by Mornington Peninsula Shire to increase its rent by more than 900 per cent. The club says it “cannot be a signatory” to the proposed lease as it is “a contradiction of the Gambling Act (2003)”. Councillors last month agreed to increase the annual rent for the club’s Marine Pde, Hastings, premises - which also houses gaming machines run by The Hastings Club - from $4000 to $42,234 for the first year of a new 21-year lease (“Rent rise tied to pokies”, The News 11/4/17). The club will then face $5000 a year increases for two years with reviews every five years. The club has written to the shire saying it believes a lease which is tied to gaming revenues contravenes the Gambling Regulations Act (2003). “Is it the intention of [the shire] to knowingly contravene the [act]?” The Hastings Club president Peter Lewis stated in a letter to the shire property operations leader Greg Collins. “Either way, it would be amoral of us to consider agreeing to the ‘offer’ or alternatively, entering into a lease agreement with [the shire] under these conditions.” The club is resisting signing the lease despite the shire’s property and strategy manager Yasmin Woods having said “all legislation” had been taken into account when assessing the club’s rent. She said Kingston and Knight Accountants had

reviewed the club’s financial statements and audited its community benefit contributions. Mr Lewis, in his 20 April letter to Mr Collins, states that the club has been “denied the opportunity for negotiation and excluded from representation”. He also said Cr Kate Roper had used “misinformation” about the club having $2 million profits in an email defending the proposed rent rise. Cr Roper, in an email seen by The News, said she had tried to have the rent “increased very gradually”. She said there had been a “very anti-gambling feeling” among councillors and “none of them wanted to give the club any discount”. Cr Roper said the council’s decision – “which was not explained properly in the newspaper” – provided for rent over $10,000 to be spent on the club’s sports grounds and community groups in the Hastings area. As the only sporting club to have gaming machines on the peninsula Hastings could not be compared to other clubs which were not paying “commercial” rents. “According to many observers it was a stunning win to get what I did for [the club] although it was more dramatic for the newspaper to go with such a negative slant,” Cr Roper stated. The club’s general manager Michael Horton describes Cr Roper’s claim of having had a “stunning win” as “complete bollocks”. “We have always wanted distribution of our rent to remain in the Hastings community; that’s always been our argument,” Mr Horton stated.

Other features include a trails map and the fauna and flora of the region.” The project was jointly funded by the shire and Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning through the Communities for Nature grant secured by the Manton and Stony Creeks Landcare Group.

NEWS DESK Motorcyclist dies A MOTORCYCLIST who died after colliding with a minibus on French Island on Sunday 23 April was not wearing a helmet. Leading Senior Constable Lauren McNiece, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said the man, 27, of French Island, was riding east along Tankerton Rd around a left-hand bend when he crashed into a minibus travelling west, 4.20pm. She said speed may have been a factor as the motorcyclist appeared to have been unable to take the bend on the dirt road before running head on into the minibus. He was not wearing a helmet and died at the scene. The driver of the bus, 26, of Warneet, was uninjured and stopped to assist. The three bus passengers were uninjured. Police say road conditions were dry and their investigations into the cause of the collision are ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Patients, staff make Anzac Day poppies PATIENTS and staff at Peninsula Health’s The Mornington Centre have made a poppy trail for the Mornington Secondary College’s WWI avenue of honour as part of the school’s Anzac Day celebrations. “I think it’s very clever and it’s nice to do something in remembrance of Anzac Day,” said patient Audrey Whelan.

Jenny Mann, of Mornington, encouraged patients at the centre to get involved, along with students from local schools and visitors to the store, as she wanted to “do something special” to commemorate Anzac Day. “I wanted to get different members of the community involved so it’s a community poppy trail.” The poppies are made from plastic and fabric.

Patients traced the outline of the flower onto the felt, cut it out and created the poppy, then weaved them all together to create the trail. “It’s been a good project to be involved in,” Peninsula Health diversional therapist Maureen Donovan said. “Everyone has really enjoyed it and over the past two months lots of different patients have had a go at making the poppies.”

PROMINENT Mornington Peninsula environmental activist Eunice Cain has died after a short illness at the age of 72. Mrs Cain of McCrae was a founding member of the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association, formed 20 years ago over concerns about inadequate shire rubbish disposal and to oppose plans to build a marina at Rosebud. She was secretary and later president of the association. Mrs Cain co-founded the Friends of Rosebud Beach and Foreshore, whose volunteers (including her husband John Cain) completed extensive revegetation on several sections of the foreshore over many years. Her funeral is tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10am at Rosebud Funeral Services, 123 Jetty Rd, Rosebud, followed by a burial service at Dromana Cemetery, Arthurs Seat Rd, Dromana.

By Teresa Murphy THE retro brown-brick facade remains and crowds still queue for fish 'n' chips at peak holiday times, but much has changed at Balnarring Beach's general store. Now called Tulum Store, after Balnarring's original name*, the historic store and cafe was reincarnated in 2016, closing for six months for extensive renovations and reopening for summer. It was a baptism by fire for new owner Cath Haylock, who oversaw the makeover with local tradies, created new menus, hired staff and dealt with the summer chaos - all while being a mum of two young kids . Tulum Store is a sleek, modern cafe, takeaway and general store with blonde wood interiors, replica design furnishings, kids' play area, and landscaped courtyard with black timbers and red seats, serving food with a focus on fresh, locally grown ingredients and largely homemade, and coffee. "One of the most amazing things has been hearing all the stories about the general store and holidaying at Balnarring Beach, going back generations," Ms Haylock says. "You could write a book about this place. I think some people were concerned that the general store of the Balnarring Beach they know and love was going, but the feedback has been great." Before buying the business, Ms Haylock, 43, owned the Balnarring Laundrette in the village for 18 months. She was folding sheets one day and pondering her 10-year plan (she likes a plan) when she realised "do I really want to be folding sheets for the next eight years?" Seeing the potential of the old-style general store and cafe at Balnarring Beach, with its three camp grounds in a 70-hectare reserve and growing permanent population, Ms Haylock made an offer which the owners of 11 years finally accepted. Running the general store is the realisation of

Ms Haylock then briefly worked in Queensland, then at a nursery in Pearcedale, where she met her husband, Chris, who died of cancer in 2012, aged 43. She says Tulum Store allows her to structure life around her two children, who attend Red Hill Consolidated (the family lives behind the store). After the exhausting summer, Ms Haylock and her children went to Hawaii, where she buys

“far-from-daggy” Hawaiian shirts, which are sold in the store along with skincare products, peninsula gourmet food, general food staples and buckets and spades. The store will close for August and rustedon customers, such as the "grumpy old men" who meet early every day, will have to venture further afield for a month to solve the problems of the world.

Nothing eerie about eagle’s new home A PAIR of wedge-tailed eagles has moved into Pearcedale and, with the birds’ known longevity, they are almost certain to be long term residents. The eagles are living in a specially-constructed aviary at Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park and cannot be released into the wild because of being domesticated while under treatment for injury. The 30-metre aviary is based on a raptor rehabilitation design that is free of any wire and includes slatted wooden sides and a seven-metre high dome with double netting, to ensure the huge birds – Australia’s largest birds of prey – do not injure themselves and have room to fly. “It’s unfortunate the two Wedge-tailed Eagles

are not able to be released into the wild as they wouldn’t be able to fend for themselves based on their upbringing and injuries,” Sanctuary director Michael Johnson said. “The male wedgie was found severely underweight and begging for food on a farmer’s property, while the female was injured in an accident and required surgery to amputate two talons.” Mr Johnson said he hoped the aviary will “become a love nest if the two breed”. He said about 25 per cent of the 60 species of animals and birds at the sanctuary are endangered or threatened with extinction with the park having a major role in conservation and breeding programs. Keith Platt

A LIFE-CHANGING visit to Borneo to help rear endangered orangutans came about after a Somerville woman was asked to “do something for yourself”. Medical scientist Leonie Butler, of Somerville, said she had experienced the full “wife-mumcareer thing” when her own mother suggested she take some time off and do something she really wanted to do. That led Ms Butler to spend most of March enriching the lives of captive orangutans and sun bears at the world renowned Samboja Lestari rescue centre in East Kalimantan. The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation is a 2000 hectare restored rainforest orangutan sanctuary created to provide a safe haven for rehabilitated orangutans and provide a source of income for locals. “I’d always loved orangutans but helping them was something I’d always put on the backburner,” she said. “When I googled Great Projects they sort of jumped out at me and I spoke to [husband] Mark who said ‘You’ve got the time and the money so go for it’. “That was Cup Day last year and I booked the trip next day.” Ms Butler was among six Australians and four British to join Great Projects, a UK-based organisation using “sustainable tourism to positively impact local communities and at-risk environments to aid the conservation of endangered animals and fragile ecosystems”. Days in the rainforest were “hard but rewarding”. Ms Butler spent time making a type of porridge out of chopped bamboo and ginger leaves, and collecting reeds and peanuts which they smeared into the bamboo for the apes to eat. “We saw lots of orangutans in cages, which was quite confronting,” she said. “The cages are

mainly for the young ones whose parents have been killed and who are being rehabilitated so they can be returned to the wild.â&#x20AC;? The orangutansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; naturally close-knit family groups take many years to rear their young and a mother wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t breed again until she has seen her offspring grow to independence. Tragically, widespread land clearing for crops, such as palm oil, have meant orangutans are often forced into urban areas, where the adults can be killed and their young reared as pets. This separation from family means they do not

receive the skills to grow up as capable forest dwellers and cannot survive in their once-natural environment. Non-profit centres, such as Samboja Lestari, teach the apes to grow up naturally as orangutans prior to their release onto a series of seven safe island sanctuaries. Ms Butler said the indigenous keepers developed a strong rapport and amazing interaction after working with their charges full-time over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They teach them to be wild orangutans and to find food, build nests, climb trees and

be at one with the forests,â&#x20AC;? she said. Apes live and socialise in their cages and, eventually, go back to their â&#x20AC;&#x153;homeâ&#x20AC;? as a group, which eases the transformation. One orangutan, Romeo, has been caged at the centre for 28 years, after being rescued as a stolen orphan. He is expected to be released back into the natural environment soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most chilled, laid-back fellow you can imagine,â&#x20AC;? Ms Butler said. Volunteer groups also make platforms for the apes and plant fruit trees to keep the centre selfsufficient. About 700 orangutans are in sanctuaries being rehabilitated for future release â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 200 at Samboja Lestari. Sadly, about 80 per cent of their forest home has been cleared for plantation farming since Indonesia began industrialising â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the rate of six football fields a minute. From 1999-2014, 1190 orangutans have been rescued in Kalimantan and 1109 in Samboja Lestari. They are among an estimated 550,000 endangered orangutans in Borneo and 5000 critically endangered in Samboja Lestari. Agreements between the rescue centres, loggers and plantation owners aim to retain specified areas as safe havens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always been an animal lover but this is the first time I have ever done something like this,â&#x20AC;? Ms Butler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to do more to help as the condition in which they arrive at the centre is often appalling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want more people to be aware, such as by stopping buying palm oil, which seems to be in everything we eat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plantation oil, rather than that grown by clearing forests, would be better. We need to get people thinking.â&#x20AC;? Those wanting to get involved can visit The Great Orangutan Project on the net. Other sites list palm oil products to avoid.

Overcoming fears on way to success “LIFE is what happens while you are busy making other plans.” The quote from former Beatle John Lennon was part of a talk at an International Women’s Day Breakfast at Mornington Racecourse. It was used by speaker Kate Carnell to illustrate her life: from her early years as a pharmacist to her current role as Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman. Early in life she realised that to succeed in business she needed to make people feel important, to listen to and be interested in her staff and customers. More than 400 people attended the breakfast, which is a collaborative effort by Frankston North Rotary and the Frankston, Peninsula 2.0 and Mt Eliza Rotary clubs. Money raised goes to community projects. After a 15-year career in pharmacy, including being the first female national vice-president of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Ms Carnell went on to serve as Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory from 1995-2000 and has since held various CEO roles. Her advice to those wanting to succeed in life and career: be ethically true to yourself, engage

with the community and be willing to take risks. The second speaker, Susan Berg, author of The Girl Who Lived, recounted the trauma when, as a 15-year-old, she was the sole survivor of a boating accident in Western Port that claimed the lives of her mother, father and brother. Suffering from survivor guilt, Ms Berg charged down a path of self-destruction. In the following years she continued to face significant challenges and hardship, including domestic violence. Then, aged 30, she escaped death again in a motorbike accident. This was a catalyst in turning her life around and refusing to remain a victim of her past. She fought through her demons learning to love herself – and life – again. In January this year, she faced her greatest fear: open water, and helped conquer it by swimming in the Lorne Pier to Pub race. On 26 February, she completed the Rip Swim at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay. These challenges were all part of her ongoing journey of self-healing and her aim of encouraging other women to confront and overcome their fears.

Standing firm: Kate Carnell, left, and Susan Berg speaking about women fulfilling their lives during an International Women’s Day Breakfast at Mornington Racecourse.

Rules, discipline forged long bonds for nurses THE old rule that nurses “live in” during their training years ago forged bonds which are still strong today. This was apparent when 35 out of a group of 50 former nurses at the Royal Melbourne Hospital met in Mornington earlier this month for 50-year reunion celebrations. They included an open house at Maureen O’Brien’s home near Fisherman’s Beach, a cocktail lunch at the Royal Hotel the next day and an afternoon tea at Chris Knott’s home in Rye the day after. “Discipline was harsh when we began training in April 1967,” Ms O'Brien recalled. “The hours were long and the work included many menial tasks, such as boiling the syringes and trying to remove the barbs on the needles which certainly weren’t disposable in those days. “For young girls, in many cases straight from school, being confronted with death and enormous responsibility was traumatic. “However, the debriefing we had afterwards with friends and the hilarious situations we often encountered and shared created a rapport that we recapture after years of not seeing each other.” A highlight at the reunions was Ms Knott appearing in an original nurse’s uniform, with her arrival heralded by the dropping of metal bedpans. Eleven of the women still work in nursing, including Gay Walters, of Mornington, who is a unit manager at Frankston Hospital.

Hastings over 50s community wins National Award for Excellence in Affordable Development DESPITE increasing concern over housing affordability, the Mornington Peninsula is home to Australia’s most outstanding example of affordable urban development – over 50s community Lifestyle Hastings. Awarded the 2017 Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) Award for Excellence in Affordable Development at the recent National UDIA Awards, Lifestyle Hastings provides outstanding housing and community living. Not a retirement village, Lifestyle Hastings is an independent-living community that operates a ‘land lease’ model. Homeowners buy quality low-maintenance homes priced at approximately 80% of the local median, and take out a secure 90-year lease on the land. With access to resort-style facilities including a multi-million dollar Clubhouse, bowling green, indoor pool and spa and private gym, Lifestyle Hastings offers truly affordable luxury living for working, semi-retired and retired people aged over 50. Lifestyle Communities Managing Director James Kelly says, “Given homeowners have access to the Commonwealth Rent Assistance payment, we’re able to set the rent at very affordable and sustainable levels. Plus, with no stamp duty, council or water rates payable, and average resales capital growth of 15.6% per year here at Lifestyle Hastings, our homeowners have made a smart lifestyle choice that PDNHV ¿QDQFLDO VHQVH ´

Homeowner Ray Nickels says, “Everyone who comes here wants to live here. When you drive in and look over the bowling green and Clubhouse, you feel like you’re entering a resort. The community setting encourages people to connect

and form friendships, as everyone’s in a similar frame of mind – we want to live the lifestyle rather than just µUHWLUH¶ ´ Although there’s a waiting list to buy at Lifestyle Hastings, there’s a brand new option available close by.

In March, parent company Lifestyle Communities launched its latest community in Bittern. Featuring the same award-winning design and construction methods, yet smartly updated with new and improved home designs, Lifestyle

No truck with Easter carnival at The Briars I would like to express how appalled I was by the recent use of The Briars [historic property, Mt Martha] to host the food truck carnival over the Easter weekend. I am a Mornington resident and a regular visitor to The Briars, where peace and tranquillity can normally be enjoyed while walking along beautiful, well-maintained trails that run through the enclosed nature reserve. I feel this was totally ruined when hordes of people and vehicles descended over the long weekend, creating a lot of alien noises and smells that must have been highly distressing to wildlife in the reserve. I briefly ventured into the free event around 3pm Saturday to see what was taking place and I discovered crowds of people who had gathered for the loud staged entertainment and food trucks. Nobody seemed to show any obvious interest in participating in nature walks or visiting the historic homestead. I am not ignorant to the fact the Mornington Peninsula has an economy that is largely based upon tourism and visitors who wish to enjoy the natural scenic beauty. However, I seriously believe that the majority of people who attended the food truck event at The Briars did not notice their surroundings and would not have noticed any difference had the event been held in the car park at Bunnings. Given that the same food truck carnival had been held at Mornington Racecourse, I really can’t see why the same crowd-appropriate venue could have not been used again. Hopefully the inaugural Briars food truck carnival will be the final Briars food truck carnival. Dr Mike Burton, Mornington

Finance committed I remind Ian Bennett that the state Liberal/National Coalition in government did commit funds to an aquatic centre for Rosebud (“Show us the money” Letters 18/4/17). A media release from me in November 2014 announced a $3 million commitment from the better pool fund for the aquatic centre. Labor has refused to support this commitment. As for the cost of the project, I notice that those opposed to the project seem to conveniently and with no basis, keep adding a further $5m to the cost every time they write a letter. Now that the anti everything group has reached an imaginary $50m cost I expect their next letter will see the cost rise to $55m. The southern peninsula needs an aquatic centre for residents of all ages, those needing swimming lessons, lifesaving training, hydrotherapy, tourism and employment. Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

Protect environment I wasn’t going to reply to Martin Dixon’s attack on me, but, I thought, “sod it” (“Pool the effort”

Letters 11/4/17). Martin Dixon suggestion that I don’t care for the children, elderly and the nippers is nothing more than a gratuitous insult. He, as our representative in the state parliament, when the Liberals were in power, could have agitated his mates for a pool anywhere, but Martin Dixon was fixated in the destruction of the Rosebud foreshore. I was, and am, about protecting the environment. I was against [Nepean MP] Martin Dixon’s push for a marina in the heart of Rosebud. I was against his push for a pool on the Rosebud foreshore and his 10 point plan for Rosebud was laughable, especially placing cabins on the foreshore in our winter climate. Martin Dixon would have been better off pursuing a better transport system for his electorate, especially as the transport minister was in the next electorate of Mornington at that stage and, as for me having anything against school children and community, I have three little words to direct at him, Moorooduc Primary School. From what I understand, a 50-metre pool is regional and, as Frankston has one, the southern peninsula does not qualify to get one, so the private, public partnership is an option. I know it may sound socialist to some, but, why not free public transport to Colchester Rd for the nippers and the elderly?. John Cain, McCrae

Fool’s paradise We live in fool’s paradise down here on the peninsula. Or is our population finally waking up to the fact that our governments, federal and state, Labor or Liberal/National are conspiring to condemn our future generations to a very bleak life? I sincerely hope so. We’re treated like mushrooms by our leaders’ actions on climate change and environmental protection. Are they all so beholden to the interests of corporations through the donations they receive from these faceless entities? Or are they so incompetent that it is beyond their comprehension that we need to lessen the use of carbon fuels in today’s world to save us from destroying the biosphere we all, people, animals and plants so much depend on? It is a damning fact that our leaders in Queensland are hell-bent to facilitate the biggest coal mine in Australia. This is all happening while our Great Barrier Reef is getting hammered by the consequences of coral bleaching caused by global warming at an unprecedented level. Our great leaders are actively sucking up to a known environmental vandal by the name of Adani to get India to put more CO2 into the atmosphere by burning all the coal from the proposed Adani mine. The government is contemplating to sink $1 billion into this doomed adventure. How many housing units could be built with this money for our ever increasing hordes of homeless or

destitute people? Of course, should the traditional owners of the said land dare to object, the government in the white man’s usual way, is waving the big stick of further disenfranchisement of the guardians of our earth. Wake up peninsula people and tell your respective politicians to start making meaningful decisions to give our future generations a chance to live on a liveable planet. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

John Clarke on set A beautiful piece last week from Keith Platt on the great man, John Clarke (“Defender of the bay dies hiking in the hills” The News 18/4/17). I worked with John in two films, television and on stage. Satirist extraordinaire, storyteller, actor, director and thoroughly nice man. I wrote the following in a blog: “Melbourne Cup Day 1986. Always a long day’s rehearsal under director Armfield, the Monday, ‘Away’ by Michael Gow. Up at 7am to work at Yarra Glen for a 10-hour day. After, a drive to Melbourne, Kingsway, a part in a half hour movie, ‘Man and Boy’ written and directed by one John Clarke with an old mate Terry Gill and a new boy, Frank Magree. 9.30pm, a night shoot, till around 4am. Eventually located the previously unknown (to me) director looking like an extra, having a beer. Offered me one. Accepted. ‘Any instructions?’ I asked. ‘Improvise,’ he said. I did. We shot a scene and he said ‘More. Don’t worry about it. Take it as far as you like.’ Unusual, but it suited me. A three hour sleep and back to another brutal day’s rehearsals. Did other stuff with the man but it was a play I remember best. A police commissioner, last minute replacement for another actor who became unavailable. Lots of words, John the writer, also playing the judge, script on his desk. Got to a line and memory deserted me. John intervened: ‘Perhaps you were going to say’ and delivered my line. John was the sort of chap who makes you feel good to have known him, and very much the smartest, as well as the nicest man one could ever hope to have known. Thursdays, no more, John Clarke and Bryan Dawe. Sad, left with magic memories.” Cliff Ellen, Rye

Save green wedge We applaud the plan to open [the late Dame Elisabeth Murdoch’s] Cruden Farm, Langwarrin up for community use in accordance with her wishes. However, we do not favour the idea of subdividing off 15.8 hectares of the land for residential development. This land would need to be excised from the green wedge and would set a precedent for more such proposals involving the carving up of green wedges for good causes. You can just see many other landowners lining up for the same sort of treatment. There is precious little green wedge land remaining; we can’t afford to lose more. Last month, the Minister for Planning [Richard Wynne] released Plan Melbourne 2017-2050 that contains the following commitment: “Maintain a permanent urban growth boundary around Melbourne to create a more consolidated, sustainable city.” It would be very difficult for the minister to

approve the rezoning of Cruden Farm and the movement of the urban growth boundary before the ink is even dry on the new plan. We suggest that the land proposed for subdivision could still be sold for an appropriate green wedge use, such as farming or recreation, without threatening the future of this and other green wedges. Trevor Shewan, president, Defenders of the South East Green Wedge.

Simple needs I have a simple landline telephone connection used for phone calls only. I do not use it for internet. I keep getting advice, pamphlets, letters and phone calls telling me that I must connect to the NBN. I don’t want or need the NBN, I just want to continue to make phone calls in the usual way, pay Telstra every month and have the occasional hour-long chat for the flat rate of 20 cents local. Me and probably five million other Australians. I need to know if my phone service will continue as usual or will I be forced to use the NBN or even cancel the service and stick with a mobile phone. I rang Telstra and was transferred me to an overseas call centre who don’t even know what I’m talking about because they can only read from a script. Is there anybody out there who knows the facts and can answer the question? You’d help an awful lot of people. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Blood on the tracks Horseracing’s ever-growing bloodbath continues to shock and horrify even those who profit from it. Last weekend, a jockey died and two others were seriously injured in a three-horse fall in Warialda in NSW, while in Sydney a race was abandoned when another fall saw the horse Almoonqith killed on the track in front of thousands of spectators after he broke a leg. When even racing commentators describe a horse race as “absolute carnage”, it is clear that enough, for this vile industry, is far more than enough. An average of over two horses die each week on Australian racetracks, usually with little fanfare. Horses are raced too young and too hard and their bones are not up to the immense impact and stress. They routinely suffer from injuries, lameness, and exhaustion. Horses are whipped and forced to run at break neck speeds. And to keep them running when they should be resting and recuperating, they may be given painkillers, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatory drugs. All this leads to broken legs and death. For those horses who manage to survive, few will be retired to grassy pastures. Most owners are unwilling to bear the costs of horses who aren’t making them money. Unwanted horses typically are shipped to slaughter. Any death on the racetrack is tragic and unnecessary. But at least jockeys have the choice to be involved. For most of the horses, except for the tiny minority who win big money, there is no choice but a cruel, painful, and untimely death. Desmond Bellamy, special projects coordinator, PETA Australia

Club rails against rent

THE view of the pier at Sorrento will change if plans form a two-storey ferry terminal are approved.

Sorrento ferry’s terminal bid MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is expected to approve changes to its planning scheme to allow a two-storey ferry terminal to be built at Sorrento. The terminal is part of a $30 million proposal by Searoad Ferries to extend and update buildings and car parks at both Sorrento and Queenscliff. Under present zonings the transport terminal at Sorrento should be run by Parks Victoria, but the shire is likely to agree to

amend the planning scheme and override the prohibition. The proposed terminal will be 9.5 metres high and include a cafe, shop, souvenir shop, “Museum at the Bay” and offices for the ferry operator. The plan also includes a new ticketing building and a larger staff car park. The terminal will have a retractable boarding gantry for passengers to board the ferry directly from the building. The two ferries - which operate hourly

7am-6pm daily - each year, carry 1.5 million passengers between Sorrento and Queenscliff. The service is regarded as a vital road link between the Mornington and Bellarine peninsulas and an integral part of tourism infrastructure. Councillors will be asked to approve plans for the new Sorrento terminal at tomorrow’s public meeting (Wednesday 26 April). Keith Platt

Continued from Page 3 Cr David Gill - who also tried to rein in the rent increase “to give the club time to adjust” - told The News on Thursday that he had not been satisfied with the Ms Woods’s explanation that the rent hike did not contravene the Gambling Act. “My advice is for the club to hold its ground and see whether council will kick them out,” he said. The club also questions the $1.2 million value attributed to the buildings and land it occupies as “most of the capital improvement was provided by members of the Hastings Club”. The club is on Crown land managed by the shire. Mr Lewis said resentment was building among club members who saw their efforts to improve the site and buildings led to increases in rent. The shire’s Responsible Electronic Gaming (EGM) policy – acknowledges gaming makes “positive contributions to the community” – says it must consider the net socio-economic impact of gaming on individuals and the community in all council policy, planning, strategy development, land management and community development. The club, which raises money for cricket and football clubs, has been there since the 1970s and now runs gaming machines as well as providing meals, operating a bar and function rooms. In her report to council’s Monday 27 March meeting property and strategy manager Yasmin Woods said the club had been paying $4000 a year in rent since 1996, and if three-yearly reviews had been made the current rent would have been $30,250. The club’s 2015/2016 annual report shows a net profit for the year of about $199,000 with the gaming room operating surplus of more than $930,000. Gaming revenue increased to $2.22 million in 2016 from $1.99m in 2015. “The council should not be expected to offer a rental subsidy because the club has an obligation to expend gaming revenue of community services or activities,” Ms Woods stated. The Valuer-General Victoria recommended charging the club $60,000 a year rent, but Ms Woods suggested giving the club a 50 per cent discount and making the amount $30,000 plus one per cent of gaming room receipts ($22,234) for a total of $52,234. The motion moved by Cr Kate Roper and adopted by council set the rent at $42,234, which includes $20,000 for land and buildings plus one per cent of gaming receipts. The rent will increase by $5000 for each of the two following years.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

R. T. Picking and family return to the city after the summer Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR R. T. Picking and family, after spending the summer months in Frankston, have removed to their residence at Glen Huntly. *** THERE was a good attendance at the “Australian” Club dance on Saturday evening last, the financial result of which should add materially to the funds. *** THE Floral Fete in aid of the Church of England funds, was opened in the hall, Frankston, on Friday afternoon, and will continue this afternoon and evening. A meeting of the members of the Frankston Branch of the National Federation will, be held in the Mechanics’ Institute, on Monday next. Members are requested to be punctual at half past seven o’clock. *** MRS Utber Hon. Sec. Red Cross Society, acknowledges the following donations :–Market Garden Picnic Association, per M. Clements Esq. £1 10s; Mrs Wheeler, marking ink; Mrs Masterton, 4 doz. petrol cases; Miss O’Grady, pair sox. *** IN our report of the Hyndes-Spillane wedding last week, in the list of presents received, it credited the Catholic Church committee with giving a Statue of the Sacred Heart, the gift should have been credited to Mrs Osborne, Mr and Mrs Paxman and Mr Anderson. *** A FOOTBALL match was played at Mornington on Monday last, between the Frankston and Mornington juniors,

resulting in the defeat of the visitors by 12.10 to 4.2 goals. The game was a good one but the weight of the home team wore down their opponents, who were of much lighter calibre. A. Tevandale captained the Frankston team and T. Harrison, the Mornington team. A return match will be played at Frankston, on Saturday (today.) *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a clearing sale on Saturday, 12th May, on account of “Gay Gordon’s” Camp, and other vendors, at the Mart, Bay St. when they will offer a quantity of hardwood and oregon being the timber used in the erection of large tents frames, in good order, household furniture, incubators, gent’s bike. harness and a variety of sundries, as specified in advertisement. *** ECHOES from the Front. WHERE ARE THE BOYS WE KNOW ? A soldier’s letter from over the seas. But oh I how much it means. When the curtain of worry and doubt is raised, By those behind the scenes. We may feast on the news that the papers give, That is “writ by a skilful pen”; But give us the plain unvarnished tales In the letters we get from our men –Frank Cubitt. We regret to report that news has been received that Corporal A. E. Hollier, of, Tyabb, is seriously ill also that Private H. F. Young of Mornington, is

amongst the missing. Billy Clements whose adventures since becoming a soldier have been varied, has written some interesting letters. He says – “Ro. Peebles was in to see me last night and I was putting forth a tale of woe about not getting any letters from “Aussie” when in blew twelve, per Arthur Green. The photo side of your card went round the Hut and many of the boys know the old Hermit’s well and were pleased to have their memories refreshed with the picture. Jack Reardon has gone to France and last time I heard, he was well. We had a meeting of the Clan over here and the members present were.–J. M. Reardon, A. Wilcox, E. Worrall, C. Hagan, C. Brody and yours truly. I can tell you our tongues went some. I think they are all in France now, gone to fight for me. I’ve had one “go” and I don’t want two. I can see it coming though. I had a letter from Mr C. P. Watson, have sent it on to Jack. Charley Ellis is here in camp. My hands are about stiff with the cold.” “Smitho” remarks casually that he is biting his beer off in lumps. Private S C. M. Ward, of Hastings has been wounded. Corporal F. M’Donald, Langwarrin, was among the wounded in the 287th Casualty List. Mrs H. C Parker of Hastings, has just received word that her husband, Lieutenant Parker, who was reported wounded and missing in France on 28th January, is a prisoner of war in

Germany. Lieut Parker is the eldest son of Mr and Mrs R. G. Parker, Essendon. Lieutenant W. C. Pentland is reported wounded. *** FORESHORE Privileges. On account of complaints having been made by Mr J. W, Thomas, Frankston, that Mr Alfred Anderson, of Barker’s Road, Hawthorn, was infringing his privileges in erecting on the foreshore buildings other then bathing boxes or boathouses. Mr Anderson was written to for an explanation, and the following answer and the inspector’s report on the case was read at the last meeting of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings :– “To John E. Jones, Esq., Moorooduc. Sir, In reply to your letter dated 31st March, I beg to state that the building mentioned by you is to be used as a bathing box and boathouse. This building has been erected in accordance with arrangements made with the officer in charge of the local police station, and has never at any time been used for residential purposes. I may state that I shall be pleased to show anyone the interior of building at any time. I am having a motor boat built at Messrs J. Savage and Co,’s Works, Church Street Bridge, which will be kept at boathouse. Within a few weeks I will be submitting to the Council plans for a house to be built on my piece of land on Mornington Road, to cost about £1000, when the old cottage on the land will be pulled down. Trusting this is all the information necessary. Yours truly,

ALFRED ANDERSON.” OFFICER’S REPORT. Gentlemen–I have to report for your information regarding this matter, as follows: 1st, As to the motor garage complained of: This is a boathouse, built my Mr G. E. Thomas, close to the Mornington Road, near Oliver’s Hill. It has doors at the rear’ so constructed that a motor car can be–run in to it and housed for the night when the owner runs down for week ends, &c. I understand the owner has no means of getting the car up to his house on the cliff, and he therefore houses it in the boatshed for safety. If he could not do this Frankston would probably lose this citizen as a resident. Provided the fee is paid for this boathouse (as it has been), I see not the slightest harm in Mr Thomas using it to house his motor car in. (He has not got a boat in it.) Further, I would respectfully recommend that Mr J. W. Thomas be informed that he will be allowed the same privilege on payment of the necessary fees. I would further recommend that car owners be encouraged to build houses (for the sheltering of their motor cars only) on the foreshore. This will no doubt induce them to erect properties on the high ground and so improve the town, financially and otherwise. Yours, &c, C. RYAN, Shire Inspector. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 April 1917

27 Foam Street, ROSEBUD Saturday May 6 at 12:30pm Barry Plant Real Estate, 1/28 McCombe Street, Rosebud, 5986 8880 Paul Cunnington, 0457 047 962

CLOSE to the foreshore and cafes, this enchanting cottage wonderfully encapsulates the quintessential beachside lifestyle. Full use has been made of the 545 square metre block with lush, leafy gardens providing a private sanctuary to enjoy a series of timber alfresco decks that complement the existing living space and will really come into their own when the warmer months return. There is just the one living space, but what a space it is. Full of charm, the interior

receives plenty of natural light, and sliding doors at the side and rear allow for pleasant coastal breezes to do their thing. The upcycled corrugated iron ceilings are a revelation, and the polished floorboards and cosy woodheater provide plenty of extra ambience. A neat kitchen is equipped with a stainless-steel under bench oven and a dishwasher, and the large island bench performs double duty as the dining table. The larger main bedroom will comfortably accomodate

a king-sized bed, and the second bedroom has a built-in wardrobe. Detached from the home is a lovely timber-lined studio or third bedroom, again with a fantastic iron ceiling, and a large picture window provides an inspiring view of the garden. Neat, simple and effective, this home just works on so many levels and for first home buyers or downsizers looking for that property with a difference, this charmer is going to be hard to beat.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Making a complete spectacle of myself By Stuart McCullough NOT all change is incremental. Sometimes it’s comes upon you with all the force of a wet fish as it collides with the back of your head. And when the moment of impact arrives, there’s no going back. Rather, you must accept that things will never be quite the same again. Ever. It happened to me this week when I foolishly left my mobile phone lying on the kitchen table. My wife spotted it and offered to make some adjustments. Foolishly, I thought these adjustments might involve flames shooting out of the speakers whenever a text message arrived or installing an app that enabled time travel, but no. Rather, my wife increased the size of the print. It’s a special time in your life when you make the shift to really big print. This means I can now read text messages even if I don’t have my glasses on, albeit one word at a time. Not that I’m often without my glasses anymore. Gone are the days when spectacles were something I wore only when I studied or wished to appear smarter. Now my face furniture is nearly always in place. My glasses have evolved from accessory to necessity. I got my first pair of glasses in high school. I’d have been in year nine or thereabouts. I had started getting headaches and it turned out these weren’t simply the result of being in year nine and studying geometry – a skill I have since steadfastly refused to use on principle – but the result of something far more structural. Getting your first pair of glasses requires

that you choose a frame that suits your personality. It’s a big choice and requires that you confront certain uncomfortable truths. But getting glasses as a teenager also demands a kind of strength of character. In particular, that you ignore all the advice your parents are trying to give you regarding a sensi-

ble choice. At fourteen I didn’t especially want to be sensible. Rather, I wanted to use this opportunity to finally reveal just how incredibly cool I was. Granted, this is a lot to ask from a single pair of glasses, but that’s how I imagined it. In the end, I suspect I rushed my decision. In my mind, my new glasses made

me look like John Lennon. On my face, however, they made me look like someone who ought to be organising the scones for Sunday school. They were a compromise, to be sure. I had wanted round glasses without a frame but settled for slightly ovalshaped lenses with a gold frame. They were more Elton John that John Lennon, but I wore them all the same. In later years, I even had a pair of matching earrings. The overall effect was I’d describe as ‘studious pirate’. If the first pair of glasses I owned were disastrous, the second pair weren’t quite as good. I was continuing my quest to be loved and admired by all; a status I thought would only be achieved if I could prove just how immensely, dazzlingly awesome I was. For reasons that now elude me, I decided that this would best be achieved by wearing a pair of ‘half’ glasses. Half glasses are the kind favoured by bookkeepers and imperious headmasters the world over. I reasoned they would facilitate a better view of the blackboard whilst still keeping my notes in focus. In retrospect, what I gained in functionality, I lost ten times over in terms of credibility. My bizarre choice of facial-wear did nothing to endear me to my peers, many of whom were inspired to pursue laser eye surgery after having seen me. I, however, continued on oblivious. The frames were brown and curled up at the edges, giving the appearance of a half-formed smile. They were the kind spectacles you might expect to see Dame Edna Everage wearing if she was trying to take

a low-key trip down to shops for a litre of milk. These were my glasses of choice through University and beyond. Eventually, I dumped these in favour of my current pair, which are black and (comparatively speaking) normal. In recent years, my prescription has needed updating on a far more regular basis. Ideally, this would occur weekly. In response to the optometrist’s invitation to read the smallest letters I can, my response is to either to ask ‘what letters?’ or to hazard a guess as though it were some kind of bizarre game show. The optometrist takes a tough line and refuses to let me phone a friend. The results are often ugly. Having complained that my eyesight was getting worse, I was informed that this was simply a natural part of the ageing process. Perhaps it’s a good thing that we live in an age where the click of a mouse will enlarge anything you’re trying to read. It’s odd, but part of me wants to resist rather than embrace the shift to bigger print. It’s as though I can’t yet permit myself to make such a concession. I should probably get over it. After all, there’s not much any of us can do to stall the march of time. In fact, when all’s said and done, it’s best to march right along with it. Upon reflection, I should have seen it coming and embraced it sooner. It would have saved a whole lot of squinting. That I didn’t do so is kind of unforgiveable, especially when it was clear that the writing was on wall. In really, really big letters too. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Silky champion joins ‘300 club’ PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt KARINGAL champion Michael Burke played his 300th game on Sunday against Frankston YCW. The six-time best and fairest winner, premiership player and league medallist became only the 18th player in MPNFL history to be awarded life membership for 300 games. Burke joined the likes of Guy Stringer, Robert Jackson, Daniel Smith, Gordon Hendry, Mark Hustwaite, Brendan Long and Brett Wright in the elite and prestigious 300 club. Burke has captained and coached Karingal FC and his loyalty has never wavered. The godfather of Karingal FC, Daniel ‘Digger’ Watts, aptly described Burke as the most loyal, honest, humble and inspiring player and person in the history of the Karingal Football Club. The Bulls honoured Burke at a tribute dinner last Thursday night and a panel luncheon on Sunday. Pines has set-up a top of the table showdown against Frankston YCW this weekend at Jubilee Park after knocking over Edithvale-Aspendale on Saturday. The Pythons head into the fourth round facing the games’ biggest challenge – the Stonecats on their home turf. Following its form in the open-

ing three matches of the season, the Pythons looked to be in good shape heading into the clash. The Stonecats, albeit the most professional outfit in the comp, will come off a six-day break after playing Karingal on Sunday. Pines spoilt the party of one of the MPNFL’s finest ever players, Edithvale’s Tim Mannix, who celebrated his 200th game. Mannix is a premiership player,

six-time best and fairest winner and league medallist. However, even Timmy Mannix couldn’t make a difference to Pines dominance on Saturday at Regents Park. Tim Bongetti was unstoppable with six goals for the winners while Aaron Edwards booted four in the 118.16 (124) to 12.9 (81) victory. Guy Hendry was also superb in the ruck and floating forward with two

goals while lesser likes in Dylan Smillie and Ben Thomas were outstanding. Will Flavelle booted four for the Eagles, as did one of the Eagles’ best Charlie Martello, while Angus Macquire and Callan Van Dyke were also outstanding players for the home side. Bonbeach made it back-to-back wins, beating old foe Chelsea 17.17 (119) to 10.5 (65). Trent Dennis-Lane was sensational once again for the Sharks with five

goals, making it nine in two weeks, while Shane McDonald and Dylan Jones were at their best. Darcy James and Todd Cracknell aren’t names synonymous with the Sharks but their performances on Saturday are an indication of the good form of the team right now. The Sharks opened up a 33-point lead in the opening quarter and it blew out to 72 points at three-quarter time. Jack Francis was a stand-out for the Gulls with six goals while Rhys Hensel and Simon MItchelhill worked tirelessly. Seaford maintained its third position on the ladder with a percentage-booster against Langwarrin at Lloyd Park. After a relatively tight first quarter, Seaford extended a 15-point quarter time lead into a 59-point winning margin, 117.13 (115) to 8.8 (56). Dan Lewis was superb for the Tigers with four goals while Dean Williamson, Kane Taylor and Brayden Irving were unstoppable. Rourke Fischer has had a tough time with injury over the past couple of years but he was back to his best last week, while a fit Aaron Turner was also impressive. Michael Parker and Blake Harkness were again Langwarrin’s best, while Keiran Albanese booted four goals. The traditional Anzac Day clash between Mt Eliza and Mornington will be played at Wooralla Drive on Tuesday.

‘Olympic’ away day win for Hillmen NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt RED Hill made it two wins on the trot on Saturday when it dominated for much of the afternoon to beat Rosebud at Olympic Park for the first time since 1985. Rosebud led inside the first minute of the match when Keegan Downie goaled but from that moment on, it was all Red Hill. The Hillmen’s dominance from the half back line and blistering pace through the middle of the ground was just too much for the Buds to handle. The inevitable match-up between Red Hill’s Chris Irving and Rosebud’s Greg Bentley did take place from the first bounce. The personal duel was cut short when ‘GB’ tweaked his hamstring in the second quarter. Peter and Marcus Lago were superb across half-back and through the middle for the Hillmen while Tom McEnroe was the best player on the ground with his dash and ball use from defence. Harry Wynn-Pope was again competitive in the ruck and around the ground against the best in the business in Ben Dwyer, while Michael Mock, Mitch Wallace and Jonah Siverson all won their battles in the back half. Siverson out-pointed Downie and Wallace had the better of a returning Tom Baker from Casey in the VFL. Red Hill was a very competitive outfit last season, however, some additional class in the side has made a significant difference to the line-up and its ability taking the ball forward. Chris Irving was again dominant through the middle and at stoppages and even wound back the clock to his

younger years taking a screamer at half forward. Ben Hughes straightens Red Hill up but he didn’t boot a goal in the first quarter and got an early corky. He still finished with a game-high five goals. Sean ‘Nooga’ Holmes has also returned after a year riding motorcross and the one that is getting under most guards is Dylan Hoare. Holmes was exceptional on the weekend and Hoare was a lively

Western Port News 25 April 2017

nuisance, finishing with a goal. Jake Mold missed the match as a result of a spider bite, Matt Hyden was a late withdrawal and Benny McCormack was in the reserves. There’s a lot of upside to the Hillmen and there’s no question that they like the wide-open spaces - their run and spread is going to cause a lot of issues for opposition teams. Rosebud trailed by as much as 38 points early in the last quarter be-

fore fighting back to get within 17. The final margin was 21 points, 10.5 (65) to 5.14 (44). Many of Rosebud’s behinds were rushed. Jack Jarman and Daniel Wilson, despite not being named in Rosebud’s best, were clearly their best two. Sean Downie was also very good for the Buds, as was Anthony Pegg from half back and Jake Corrin. Leg speed in attack seemed to be an issue for the Buds and it’s something they need to be looking at addressing quickly. Pearcedale proved that its big win against Frankston Bombers on Easter Saturday was not just a flash in the pan, despite going down to Somerville on Saturday. The Dales stuck with the Eagles at the nest for the entire match and had its chances in the last quarter, however, inaccuracy paid a price. Somerville had its noses in front for the most part of the match and won 12.17 (89) to 110.22 (82). The Eagles have had a great start to the season with three wins from three matches, including a win against Red Hill at home. On Saturday, Adrian Speedy and Justin Allsop continued their outstanding starts to the season while Billy Rolfe was also at his best. In defence, Kane McKenzie was superb. Andrejs Everitt booted three for the winners and Jedd Sutton booted a couple. Luke Dalmau was again electric for the Dales with four goals while Matt Smith and Daniel Marshall were outstanding. Devon Meadows put a horrible preseason behind it and notched its first win of the season, beating Crib Point 13.22 (100) to 10.8 (68).

The Panthers lost more than 20 players in the off-season, troubling its depth. However, its top end talent was always there and after strong performances against Hastings and Pearcedale in the opening two rounds, deserved to taste victory. The Panthers dominated the opening quarter and despite a fightback from the Pies, always had the game in their control. Allan Murray booted four goals to give him 12 for the season, while Steve McInnes added another three to give him 11 for season 2017. Jesse Dehey and Stef Baumgartner continued their superb starts to the season. Ned Shannon, the son of former Hastings’ star Andrew, was great again for the Pies with three goals while Taylor Stratton and Brad Arnold led from the front. Leigh Poholke celebrated his 100th game for Sorrento on Saturday with a game-high six goals in his side’s 27.15 (177) to 10.7 (67) victory against Rye. Nick Corp booted five also for the Sharks while Shannon Gladman continued his outstanding season with three goals from the middle. Tim Churchin was the only multiple goal kicker for Rye with two while Harry Whitty and teenager Joel Wills tried hard. Dromana notched up its first win of the season, smashing Tyabb 22.19 (151) to 6.3 (39). Beau Cosson returned with seven goals for the Tigers while Cam Carmody finished with four and Adam Hunter three. Terry Wheeler and Rory Gregg were amongst the Dromana best again, as was Shaun Clarke.

New hole offers scenic alternative for golfers By Ben Triandafillou GOLFERS are graced with a vast variety of holes across the Mornington Peninsula, from long winded par fives to elegant pitch and putt, par threes and this spring, golfers will see another challenging hole join the peninsula’s golfing circuit. The $90,000 development of the 150-metre par three at Mornington Golf Club will be another intriguing hole for peninsula golfers, with views of the city’s skyline and the peninsula’s coastline. Designed by Darius Oliver (Planet Golf) and Ben Davey (Contour Golf Designs), the par three will be a major attraction for golfers and will also play an influential role in the club’s strategic master plan. The 19th hole will allow the Mornington Golf Club to improve existing holes and continue to provide golfers with a first class and well-maintained golf course while having 18 holes still in use. “The new hole allows us to proceed with our long-term master plan for the entire course,” Mornington Golf Club general manager Craig Murdoch said. “We will be able to take a hole out of play to make improvements to it and still have 18 holes in play.” Although the holes are well-maintained and are in pristine condition, many of the greens are over 30 years old and are due to have an upgrade. The ‘spare hole’ will allow the 810 members at Mornington Golf Club to continue their undisrupted play while improvements are made throughout the course. The Mornington Golf Club has seen a steady rise in club memberships over the past few years and with the in-

Tee-m effort: Mornington Golf Club’s juniors took out top honours at the Eric Lucas Matchplay tournament at Flinders Golf Club.

troduction of their new hole, the trend is likely to continue. Membership prices for golfers in the 18-20-year-old age bracket have also been slashed so that juniors who are moving into their ‘senior’ career can have an affordable golfing experience. “Junior golf has long been a focus of the club,” Murdoch said. “With 150 juniors now on board, two

junior Pennant teams and a host of juniors representing the club in Golf Peninsula Victoria events we feel Mornington is definitely one of the premier clubs on the peninsula driving junior golf.” Junior golfers from the Mornington Golf Club were highly successful at the Eric Lucas Matchplay event on Friday 7 April at Flinders Golf Club,

winning and finishing runners-up, in both the boys and girls events. Jennifer Quinlan won the girl’s event with Lauren Barry finishing runners-up, while Ben Tincknell was the winner of the boy’s event with Dan Vince finishing in second. Mornington has also been successful at the National Junior Classic with Aidan McDonagh winning the un-

der-16’s Nett division and in the GPV Junior Pennant with Team Scott winning the divisional flag. The new par three at the Mornington Golf Club will provide the junior golfers with another fantastic opportunity to experience another remarkable hole and continue to improve their game. The new hole will be ready for play in spring.

Hastings defeated by Frankston Bombers HASTINGS FNC ON Sunday the club travelled up to Frankston to take on the Bombers. This year saw a large crowd in attendance as both clubs paid their respects to the Anzacs. A big congratulation’s to the Frankston Bombers on an outstanding day. It wasn’t the greatest day for our club with all sides going down. The club needs to dust its heels off and get ready for our next home game against the Dromana FNC. Hopefully we can get a big home crowd to support all our teams. Seniors Report It was a massive game, the grand final replay, but unfortunately we didn’t put up much of a fight. At the moment we are quite incon-

sistent and are only playing one or two quarters of footy which against a good side will not get the job done. Full credit to Frankston. They moved the football well and we were not strong enough for long enough. Moving forward we must be more consistent and get better with our skill inside 50. Reserves Report It was a pretty tough loss to swallow after being in front for almost the whole day. Hopefully a wake-up call to a few different boys about being disciplined. We will learn from it and move forward as best as we can. We started the game really well outplaying Frankston for most of the first half. We were first to the footy and mak-

Sudoku and crossword solutions

ing really good decisions with the ball. To Frankston’s credit they fought back hard and really took the challenge up to us in the last half and ran away five point winners. We look forward to taking on Dromana and getting back on the winners list. Best players Ash Harrison, Joel Standfield and Dan noble. Netball Report D grade started the day against a much stronger and experience side. We saw improved play transitioning from the defence end through the mid court but failed to get the goals on the board. They will come; continue to commit to training and the improvements will continue. Best players were Ruby, Kristy and Maegan.

C grade had a very competitive game and a few swaps of positions which worked in our favour. In the first quarter the aggressive play threw us off. A few stern words and some tough love got the girls to strengthen up for the remainder of the game. In the fourth quarter the Bombers had 10 turnovers and we scored from five of them. Our tight defence interrupted their game but due to their consistent shooting under any pressure they got away from us. Very proud of the girls, playing as a team and worked through the tough opposition! Best players were the two Graces’ and Jaimi. B grade had a tight contest for four quarters. Started strongly in the first quarter but lapsed in the second and third and let the Bombers take the lead going into the last quarter.

The last quarter was cracker, going goal for goal but just falling short but the barest of margins. Best players were Ebony, Shaye and Taylah.

Pies girls shine once again CRIB POINT FNC Crib Point travelled to Glover Reserve for their Round three match against Devon Meadows on Saturday. It has always been a tough affair playing Devon away and for the footballers it was no different, the netballers on the other hand continued their dominance in 2017 with three of the four sides taking home the win. Netball It has been a great start to the season for Crib Point’s A, B and C grade with all 3 sides undefeated. D grade lost an early jump resulting in them playing catch up all day. Great backup down the court by the defenders and movement around the ring by Kylie Crow kept the girls in the game but unfortunately couldn’t make up that early lead. Tomisha Serong received BOC for her movement in the ring which is improving each round and for her goaling. C grade took on last year’s premiers and were switched on from the word go. Having a tall goaler back in the ring proved useful and the feeding and movement in the attack end was still very efficient. Defending duo Ayla Gallagher and Amie Collison created several turnovers allowing a solid win. BOC went to newcomer Bree Phillips for slotting into the team so effortlessly and for providing great drives down the court. B grade took an early lead and held on for the rest of the game. Brooke Farrelly was in total control in defence creating several turnovers for the goalers

to convert. BOC went to Amy Cook for her very accurate goaling and partnership with other goalers. Crib Point’s new attacking combinations are gelling together more and more every week. Cribby’s A grade had an amazing first quarter which set them up for the rest of the game. Leah Moncrieff received BOC for an outstanding performance not only in WD but C also. Fierce in defence and accurate in attack, Crib Point are in a very strong position for the rest of the season. Dionne ‘Silky’ Douglas was flawless in defence with the umpires awarding her the Anzac Day medal. Football In football the under 19’s got the four points before the game even started. Devon were several players short and unable to field a side resulting in a forfeit. This is the second game for the year that Crib Point’s Under 19’s haven’t had a proper match due to the opposition having low numbers. Some of the boys swapped sides for the morning so they could still have a hit out, hopefully only playing one proper match for the season won’t affect the team next week against Sorrento. Crib Point’s Reserves were also down on numbers after a few injuries in the first two rounds. Luckily some of the 19’s young stars were happy to pull on the boots again and help out with several of them ending up in the best players. The Two’s started slowly and were down at quarter time but quickly found their rhythm. Matthew Sloper played

his first game for the season and instantly made an impact. He gave the team a strong target to kick to and small forwards Sam Adams and Joel Wisken swooped on the crumbs all day, both finishing with a few goals. Nick Rutherford was best on and starred in the mid-field all day while youngster Joseph ‘Joey Jo-Jo’ Smith was unbeatable at full back as the Reserve’s recorded their first win for the season with the final score reading 77 - 21. Both senior teams were fired up in a game that was tipped to be a close one but it was Devon who hit the scoreboard first and controlled the game early. The Pies only goal came late in the term from Riley Clifford after a nice passage of play. If it wasn’t for Devon’s wayward kicking the game could’ve been over a lot earlier. Crib Point didn’t back down and to their credit fought back in a massive second quarter to only be down by one point at half time. The Magpies had their chances but costly turnovers at crucial times of the game hurt, the intent was there but they were unable to execute on the day. Taylor Stratton has been brilliant this season and was enormous for Crib once again. Youngster Ned Shannon played his best game for Crib Point kicking 3 impressive goals and got busy around the ground. Jayden Espenschied and Danny Vercoe were again good down back. Next week Crib Point host Sorrento in what will be a huge match for all teams, the netballers are flying and hopefully the boys can bounce back and get another win at home in front of a big crowd.

At the doubles: Alan Neil congratulates bowls tournament winners Dylan Fisher, middle, and Dale Verhagen.

National champ wins Easter comp By Ben Triandafillou THE peninsula’s premier bowls tournament was held on Saturday 15 April at the City of Frankston Bowling Club with $6000 up for grabs. The annual ‘Frankston by the Bay Easter Classic Open Pairs’ was won by the 2012 Australian Champion of Champions singles winner, Dylan Fisher and partner Dale Verhagen. Verhagen and Fisher defeated Rob Huddle and Dave Windley in the final of the Easter tournament after a spectacular round of bowls. The bowls club was filled to near maximum capacity with more than 80 competitors entering the Easter classic. The Easter classic has continued to attract competitors from across the state as well as some international bowlers over the past few years. “The Easter classic attracts some of the elite bowlers from across the state and also some from Hong Kong,” City of Frankston Bowling Club administrator, Alan Neil, said. “It’s a prestige tournament which this

year had to be funded by the club but we wanted to keep the tournament going as it brings some of the top bowlers to the peninsula.” The tournament has been running since the 1990s but was unfortunately stopped in the early 2000s due to a variety of factors affecting the club. The Easter Classic was later revived in the mid-2000s and has now been running for several years. “The recent resurgence of more young people joining the club and participating in lawn bowls has definitely helped,” Neil said. “It’s no longer just an old person’s sport with the elite level now full of young people in their 20s and 30s.” This year, the club has had to fund the Easter classic out of its own pocket as it’s no longer receiving funding from the Frankston Council and is unable to fit into any of the categories for a grant. Neil said that the Easter classic was likely to continue to run even if the club has to fund the event itself.
