Schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day out for nature WHAT seemed like a good opportunity to get out of the classroom for thousands of pupils and students on the Mornington Peninsula also came with some valuable lessons. The theme of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Environment Week at The Briars, Mt Martha, was making a difference through sustainable living and contributing to a sustainable future. In short, the lessons taught ranged from nature in the wild to home cooking and even fire fighting.

Legal centre gains high profile help Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au THE Frankston-based Peninsula Community Legal Centre has welcomed the support of high-profile domestic violence campaigner Rosie Batty in the fight to stop funding cuts that could cripple the service and the community. The legal service has helped thousands of low-income clients to access

free legal advice and representation every year since opening 40 years ago, with most clients seeking help with family law and domestic violence-related matters. The centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief executive officer Jackie Galloway said domestic violence was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;scourgeâ&#x20AC;? on the community, and free legal help for those affected was essential to keep them safe, housed and out of spiralling debt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very heartened to know

that there is so much support to try to convince the federal government from cutting funds, as community legal centres play a vital role in supporting victims of domestic violence and getting legal aid to people who otherwise couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford or access it,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ms Galloway said the more support there was, the more the centres would be likely to convince the government of the need for services to help people and stop the problems increasing.

Ms Batty, the 2015 Australian of the Year for her work campaigning against domestic violence, has started an online petition to stop the government from slashing funding to community legal centres around the country by 30 percent in July. Ms Battyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Luke was killed in a violent daylight attack by his father at a sports ground in Tyabb in 2014. Since then, she has become the public face in the fight to end domestic vio-

lence, tirelessly advocating for changes in police responses, the delivery of support services and government engagement. Peninsula Community Legal Centre has provided legal advice to 7966 cash-strapped or vulnerable clients since opening 40 years ago, but fears for its future and is pleading for the government to reverse its decision and restore the funding.

Pressure for new pool Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A GROUNDSWELL of support is building for a Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre with a community meeting on Wednesday 8 March agreeing to “bringing the need for an aquatic centre to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s attention”. An action group formed by 60 residents is pushing to revive the centre after it was put on the back burner by the previous council. Organiser Betty Preston said she had been “sweating on a new council after the issue became toxic under the former council”. “There was no point doing anything until the new council was elected.” Ms Preston said she was “disappointed” that only Seawinds ward councillors Antonella Celi, Simon Brooks and Frank Martin attended the meeting in the Besgrove St council chambers to hear the contributions from the group on what she says is “an essential community facility” for the whole shire. She said the meeting was attended by a range of interest groups, a school principal and lifesavers. Ms Preston said the aquatic centre would be a community service “much needed by residents and tourists”. “We advised the councillors a

1294-signature petition had been collected in 10 days and been lodged with the chief executive officer [Carl Cowie],” she said. Forums, surveys, site inspections and feasibility studies have been held to select a site for a southern peninsula aquatic centre since 1999. “It would have to be a multi-faceted complex with a full size pool, toddlers’ pool, hydro pool as well as adequate parking, transport and lighting,” Ms Preston said. “The site for the aquatic centre will always be controversial, but we don’t care where it goes – just that the council gets on with it.” The shire’s chief operating officer Alison Leighton told residents at the 14 March council meeting that a southern peninsula aquatic centre “is most certainly on this council’s agenda”, with councillors being briefed later this month. The council’s controversial 2012 purchase of a site in Wannaeue Place for $5.l million was seen as suitable alternative to the foreshore. While the shire wasted time trying to get an aquatic centre on the foreshor, Frankston Council opened its Peninsula Aquatic and Recreation Centre to much fanfare in September 2014. Another community meeting is at 7pm, 28 March, at Seawinds Hub.

Award for ‘tireless’ worker FELIX Arena, pictured, has been named Somerville Community Member of the Year. The award – announced at Somerville Family Day on Monday 13 March - was made in response to his “selfless commitment to helping and improving the community of Somerville”.

Mr Arena founded the annual family day in a bid to bring the community together to celebrate the local area and its variety of skills and talents. He is president of the family day committee, runs his own business and started up the town’s first soccer club – the Somerville Eagles. Chrissy Kouvaras, a member of the

committee, said Mr Arena “works tirelessly in his own time and is passionate and generous”. “My fellow committee members and I have a huge amount of respect for Felix and what he has achieved. He inspires people to give more for the benefit of everyone,” Ms Kouvaras said.

Sculpture’s future at the crossroads THE controversy that surrounded the erection of a sculpture at crossroads in the centre of Flinders may about to be revived. The work “I am” by Andrew Rodgers has been in place on the Cook and Wood streets roundabout for nearly two years and Mornington Peninsula Shire, its nominal owner, is about to run a survey to see if the public approves of the site. The unveiling of the sculpture was part of Flinders’ 150th celebrations, but its location was made subject to later public approval. Rodgers “I am” works were described by Bhakthi Puvanenthiran in the Sydney Morning Herald of 21 February 2014 as being “a series of delicately balanced forms, unfurling from a narrow base and reaching up to 7.5 metres high. They are a metaphor for the relationship with the organic, the sanctity of the individual and the relationship between the inner and outer world”. The $100,000 “I am” at Flinders is 4.25 metres high. The money was raised through donations and the decision on buying the work made by Flinders Community Association. Examples of Rodgers’ works are shown in galleries throughout the world. To have a say on the Flinders “I am” go to mornpen.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay between Friday 31 March and Friday 28 April. Paper copies of the survey will be available at the shire’s customer service centres. To view the locations visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/ouroffices. Keith Platt

Courage award for slain jeweller

Not gone with the wind: Frustrated residents Keith Jacobson and Nick Demooy clean up the tumbleweeds. Picture: Yanni

Seed problem blowin’ in the wind NO, it’s not the dry plains of the old Wild West, but tumbleweeds are blowin’ in the wind from the Hastings foreshore reserve. And nearby residents are fed up with them. Keith Jacobson, of Skinner St, says it is a “horrendous” problem with masses of grass seeds blowing into their properties from new plants put in by Mornington Peninsula Shire over the road. “They are making a mess of our gardens,” he said. “They are covering everything.” Nick and Julie DeMooy, of Salmon St, said they collected six shopping bags full of tumble weeds blown in

from the foreshore on Saturday 18 March. “That was our greeting in the morning when we got up,” Ms DeMooy said. “Nick spent four hours cleaning it up on the Saturday – which was only the backyard. “He was feeling sick from cleaning up this disgusting mess and it has made him quite depressed. “We both spent another two-and-ahalf hours on Sunday cleaning up the front yard. “We take pride in our property and there is still a spot in the backyard we have left for the shire to see.

“This problem has been going on for a few years and was reported in January 2016 but nothing has been done by the shire.” Mr DeMooy said a shire contractor on Friday cleaned up a fair bit “but it just kept blowing back. He said he was going to report it to the council and that’s all we’ve heard”. “If you stand on our patio you’ll see it all being blown down the road. “We are worried our gardens will be infested with seeds. I’ve already pulled a couple out. Stephen Taylor

SLAIN Hastings jeweller Dermot O’Toole has been awarded the Star of Courage in the Australian Bravery Awards. The awards announced over the weekend recognise those who put their own lives at risk to protect the lives or property of others. Mr O'Toole, 64, died while protecting his wife, Bridget, during an armed robbery at their shop in High St in July 2013. The couple were working at the back when they heard the front door open. When Mrs O’Toole went into the shop she was confronted by a man in disguise approaching the counter. The offender – later identified as Gavin Perry, 26, of Crib Point – yelled at her as he approached with a large carving knife. In the ensuing struggle she was pushed onto a glass display counter in the middle of the shop which shattered under the impact. Hearing the noise, Mr O’Toole rushed from the back to help his wife of 41 years, who was screaming. Mr O’Toole wrestled with Perry before slipping onto his back as he attempted to fend of the attack. He was stabbed and later died of his wounds. Perry – who was said to be high on the drug ice – further assaulted Ms O’Toole before stealing $200 in rings and fleeing. Police later charged Perry with murder, armed robbery and intentionally causing serious injury. He is now

serving 27 years’ jail for his crimes. By his actions, Mr O’Toole displayed conspicuous courage. Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove told the investiture: “Sadly, there are those whose brave acts mean they are no longer with us. To their families, I express the nation’s sadness at your loss but pride in your loved one’s actions. “We are fortunate as a community to have so many outstanding people willing to put themselves in harm’s way to assist others in need.” Mr O’Toole is survived by Bridget and their sons Dale, Christian and Trent.

Tractor, 4WD collide A TRACTOR and a four-wheel-drive were severely damaged when they collided on the Frankston-Flinders Rd, Balnarring, Monday morning. Sergeant Bruce Buchan, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said the crash occurred about 7.20am when the grass-cutting tractor was turning at Mt Barron Rd; the four-wheel-drive overturned on impact. The tractor driver, 72, of Somerville, was airlifted to The Alfred Hospital in a serious but non-life-threatening condition. The driver of the four-wheel-drive, 30, of Crib Point, was taken to Frankston Hospital in a serious but non-life-threatening condition.

The truth is out there about UFO IT wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bird. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a plane. People in Westall who saw an unidentified flying object hovering over the suburb in 1966 are still sure they saw something extraordinary and unexplained on 6 April that year. A flying saucer-shaped object was seen by more than 200 witnesses in broad daylight including schoolchildren and teachers at Westall Primary School and Westall Secondary School. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Westall Incidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as it came to be known has long fascinated UFO watchers and some of the eyewitnesses on that April day five decades ago will gather to recall the strange events surrounding the mass UFO sighting. Rosebud resident Marilyn Smith will join others who saw â&#x20AC;&#x153;a silver flying saucerâ&#x20AC;? hover and fly overhead in 1966 to â&#x20AC;&#x153;recount their own personal experiences of the day and reflect on what it means to them todayâ&#x20AC;? at Screening of Westall â&#x20AC;&#x2122;66: A Suburban UFO Mystery in Parkdale. Mrs Smith, who works at Frankston Hospital in pathology, has often thought about the day, at the age of 14, when she and her school friends saw the UFO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all began when a girl burst into our classroom and screamed a UFO had landed nearby,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teacher told us all to stay in class but then the bell rang so we all ran outside. We saw a silver flying saucer hover then take off at great speed.â&#x20AC;? She said a Channel 9 TV news crew visited Westall Secondary and spoke to students in the aftermath of the incident

but a news report never aired and footage has never been found amid theories of a cover-up by authorities. Several people claim â&#x20AC;&#x153;military peopleâ&#x20AC;? visited eyewitnesses and warned them to keep quiet about what they had seen over Westall. The Victorian UFO Action group will host a screening of a documentary about the incident following by a question and answer session from a witness panel including Mrs Smith and several others who saw the flying saucer in 1966. Documentary filmmakers Shane Ryan and Rosie Jones will also appear to discuss their research into the Westall sighting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hundreds of people saw it and not only did they see the object in the sky â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it came down to the ground and landed. It was on the ground for some time at The Grange,â&#x20AC;? Mr Ryan said in 2013. As for Mrs Smith, she says no-one saw â&#x20AC;&#x153;little green menâ&#x20AC;? so she keeps an open mind about the origin of the UFO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may have been from outer space, it may have been a secret military craft. It definitely wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a weather balloon which was the official version.â&#x20AC;? ď Ž Westall - The Witnesses Speak is at the Shirley Burke Theatre, Kingston Arts Centre, 64 Parkers Rd, Parkdale on Sunday 2 April, 12-5.30pm. See eventbrite.com.au and search for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Westallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or call the Shirley Burke Theatre on 9580 4998 for ticket prices and more details. Neil Walker

Survey extended MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has extended the date of a survey on residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; views on protecting the environment to midnight on Friday 7 April. More than 150 people have completed the survey, with more than 50 people registering their interest to attend workshops. The environment project was last year flagged as a priority in the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Your Peninsula 2021 survey which showed many residents saw protecting and maintaining a clean environment â&#x20AC;&#x153;as the number one challengeâ&#x20AC;?, according to a shire news release. The shire says it will support the community to protect the environment by reducing carbon emissions and prepare to cope with changing environmental conditions. To access the survey or register to attend a workshop on 27 or 30 March visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/cleanandgreen, visit a shire customer service centre or library; or call 5950 1000.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fire dangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has ended, but register burn-offs THE CFA is urging landowners in the cities of Frankston and Kingston and Mornington Peninsula Shire to register burn-offs and avoid unnecessary call-outs. With the official end of the fire danger period on Monday (27 March), CFA operations manager Mark Kennedy said there would be a lot of private burn-offs over the next few weeks due to vegetation growth caused by heavy rainfalls at the start of the year. He urged people to check conditions and register their burn-offs. Mr Kennedy said every year firefighters had to respond to calls from the public concerned about smoke in the air from unregistered burn-offs. He said this left firefighters and fire trucks

unavailable for other emergencies, and took volunteer firefighters away from their workplaces and families. Landowners can register their burn-off with the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA) by calling 1800 668 511 or emailing burnoffs@esta.vic.gov.au Mr Kennedy said people should give information about location, date, expected start and finish times, estimated size, and what they intended to burn. Other precautions include checking fire restrictions and weather conditions, warning neighbours, stayingnearby and having sufficient equipment and water to stop the fire spreading.

A FRENCH Island pensioner who says Mornington Peninsula Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negligence cost him $368 for new tyres has had his refund claim belatedly paid by the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurers. John Woolley said protruding spikes on star pickets â&#x20AC;&#x153;sliced the wallsâ&#x20AC;? of two tyres near roadworks on Graydens Rd, Hastings, last month. Furious, he called the RACV which towed his VW Transporter to Balnarring Motors where the tyres were replaced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The $368 does not include all the inconvenience and time wasting caused by the incident,â&#x20AC;? he said. The spikes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 600mm in from the edge of the bitumen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were a hazard to motorists and their removal since the incident proves it, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a clear case of negligence by the shire or the roads contractor and the council had neglected its duty of care.â&#x20AC;? The councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurer, Echelon Claims Services, agreed the claim was based on â&#x20AC;&#x153;negligenceâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but pointed out that the term weakened Mr Woolleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grounds for compensation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public liability claims managers we have an obligation to only recommend compensation when a clear legal liability has been established as the money you are seeking would come directly from ratepayers â&#x20AC;Ś,â&#x20AC;? it stated in a letter to Mr Woolley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under the Road Management Act 2004 council is only required to inspect roads and/or effect repairs [under] its Road Management Plan [once every 12 months]. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The Act] requires individuals â&#x20AC;Ś seeking compensation for vehicle damage arising from the condition of the roadway to pay the first $1380 of any claim â&#x20AC;&#x201C; regardless of issues of liability.â&#x20AC;? It then rejected Mr Woolleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $368 claim as being below the threshold. Undaunted, Mr Woolley fought on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was not going to let them treat me like a nobody,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that the shire should assess damages claims on an individual basis. Help arrived on Friday, after Cerberus ward councillor Kate Roper took on Mr Woolleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case and helped negotiate a settlement with the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We reviewed the situation and agreed to compensate Mr Woolley for his new tyres,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an unfortunate incident and it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem fair [that he had to pay] as he was not doing the wrong thing.â&#x20AC;? Mr Woolley was elated by the decision but believed the shire â&#x20AC;&#x153;should have paid out in the first placeâ&#x20AC;?.

NEWS DESK This is an edited version of a talk KERRIE MCMILLAN gave to the Mornington forum on the mental health of teenagers. It deals with the suicide of her son Sam and her search for answers to prevent it happening to others.

Why is my son dead and we are alive? I AM a victim of suicide. I know all of the horrible statistics, but the most important one to me is that, on average, eight people die from suicide each day. On 12 May 2011, the most devastating statistic for me, our friends and family was that one of them was my beautiful son, Sam. It was nine days before his 21st birthday. A birthday he had been planning and looking forward to. A birthday he should have made. I'd like to say I can give you answers, clues or signs to look for - but I can't. I don't have them. God knows I wish I did and maybe Sam would be alive. After Sam died, I became obsessed with finding answers. I researched and studied: websites, books, you name it. Every piece of literature I found started with "Dealing with anxiety and depression”, but I couldn't find anything that helped me understand why. I had no idea why I should have been dealing with it. We were a strong family, a family that talked and

shared - in fact sometimes Sam and his wicked sense of humour meant that he shared things that I didn't need to know. But we did talk; he wasn't isolated or alone; he was totally loved and supported. This wasn't meant to happen to us. I'm one of the local kindergarten teachers, for heaven’s sake. We are blessed to live in a community where we have very few degrees of separation. Pretty much everyone in Mt Martha knew of me or my kids - we were living the dream - this definitely wasn't meant to happen to us. But why not? God, I was so arrogant. You see this shitty “thing” isn't terribly selective - it will take anyone. It doesn't discriminate. It sneaks into your life without you even realising it's there. It messes with your mind and makes you believe, with every fibre of your being, that the world, your world, is better off without you. Sam, my Sam, my hilarious, loving, crude and rude, protective, no nonsense, caring and loyal, dedicated and completely adorable Sam, would

never have done this to us. At his best, which was most days, he would have done anything to protect us from his death, anything to save me from being the one to find his body. But my completely adorable Sam wasn't there on 12 May. A sad, lost, broken version had taken over, probably temporarily but, unfortunately, long enough for him to believe the lie that the world would be better off without him. It's not. Sam had been through some tough stuff in the year leading up to his death. He had broken up with the girl he believed was the love of his life. He had broken his leg and was frustratingly off work and incapacitated for a week. He had crashed his car and was looking at the financial implications of replacing it. These are all fairly commonplace occurrences and many people dealt with one or more of them. So, why is my son dead and we are alive? I'm not for a second suggesting that Sam was weak and couldn't handle these setbacks. He was one of the strongest kids I know, both physically and, I believed, emotionally. But I

was wrong. I found out after he died that he had been suffering for a while. Too long. He had the incredible strength to keep it from his brother and I. He loved us so much and wanted to protect us from his battle. He was literally fighting for his life and yet his biggest fight was the one involving keeping it all from us. Hindsight is an amazing thing. Sam left us a note. If such a thing can be said, it was a beautiful note, but I remember telling some of Sam's friends that it existed and they could read it if they felt they needed to. To my horror, I soon realised that at least one of his good mates knew about it. I was beyond angry: how could they know and not have told me? But what I've come to realise is that his friends were helping him protect me and thought they were helping. But they weren't equipped with the necessary skills to truly help. When Sam felt "it" overwhelming him I would get a "hey mum, I'm staying at Bill’s tonight" call and they would take him out for a beer and tell him it would be all right. Again, I've come to realise that we

possibly need to focus a little less on talking about suicide prevention and start talking about early recognition of depression and anxiety. That perhaps we also need to remember that it's great to ask your friends if they're OK but we need to teach our kids the necessary skills to get help. We do first aid courses for our bodies. Maybe it's time we looked at mental health first aid. We need to put money into programs that help our kids talk about what helps them with the business of growing up; what helps before the big problems kick in, the ones that could kill you. Maybe we need to teach lessons on recognising signs and getting help; that it's not disloyal to seek help for someone you're worried about. We need to learn to focus on wellness and wellbeing, on how to deal with the influx of “stuff” that comes with growing up in an age of social media, on dealing with all the crap that may be your mind and body letting you down. But this alone is never going to work unless the help we teach them to seek is available. We need to put more resources into ensuring that there isn't a three-week wait to see a counsellor; that any resources that aid mental wellbeing are easily, readily and financially available. I feel I should be able to give bullet points on all of the clear signs that will guarantee you are able to keep your friends and family safe. But the simple truth is until we get the funding; until we make discussions about making mental health a priority; until these conversations are as commonplace around our dinner tables as those about sport; until we start taking this issue seriously; and until we find some answers, we will all be victims of suicide.

Mental issues: The room was filled to capacity for the Peninsula Voice-organised forum on depression and mental health of teenagers at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Mornington, on 8 March, left. Speakers and organisers of the forum, above, from left, Peter Dawson and Shona Wills, of Headspace, Kerrie McMillan, psychologist Di McGreal, Peter Orton, Peninsula Voiuce chairperson and Patrick McGorry.

Talk helps keep black dog at bay Psychiatrist and former Australian of the Year Professor Patrick McGorry and psychologist Dr Di McGreal outlined to the 550 people at the forum basic strategies parents could use to help their children maintain good mental health. A report on the forum was broadcast the following day on the ABC’s The World Today program. Professor McGorry said he the felt the federal health portfolio was in good hands under Flinders MP Greg Hunt. “Literature, government intervention and dayto-day anecdotes indicate youth depression, even just on the peninsula is a huge issue, and complex solutions are usually beyond families left on their own. They require a whole of community response,” Mr Orton said. He gave six “sharp insights” that could “guide action … and generate constructive conversation” on the peninsula:  Clearly name who is primarily responsible for action and support them.  Align federal, state and local government plans, budgets and actions.  Coordinate specialty care to be delivered in the local community.  Support parents, and suffering young people, locally and communally.  Local politicians must help parents navigate political labyrinths.  Practitioners and local politicians must demonstrate practical solutions.

Op shop pay out to charities A MORNINGTON op shop is proving the saying “from little things big things grow”. After being open just six months Tru Opportunity, in Frank St, has been able to donate $250 each to 48 different charities and causes – a total of $12,000. “The charities were nominated by the people who donated the goods – that's how we pick the charities,” said manager Trudy Lennon-Bowers, who held a stall at the Benton Junior College Fair last week.

“As we are in an industrial area we get no foot traffic and rely on people seeing the tiny op shop street signs, as well as word of mouth. We had to pay to get these little signs through council and they won’t allow any other type of sign. “I get people through every day who had no idea we were here. Imagine how well we would do if people could actually find us? We need donations and volunteers.” Opening hours are Monday to Friday 9.30am4.30pm and Saturday 9am-1pm. Stephen Taylor

CONVERSATION and communication within families and the wider community is the most readily accessible way of detecting and tackling depression among teenagers. This message was brought out by speakers and organisers at a forum in Mornington earlier this month designed to help young people “stay mentally healthy”. The forum follows the findings of a report commissioned by the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council which found 25 per cent of peninsula teenagers suffered from depression, six per cent higher than the national average. The shire has listed “youth and teen mental health first aid training” as one of seven priority projects in its proposed $2.6 million in its proposed 2017/18 budget. “This sobering statistic prompted us to run a large public forum to discuss how this might be turned around,” chair of community organisation Peninsula Voice Peter Orton said. “The forum discussed basic strategies parents could use to help their children maintain good mental health.” “Talk to your children around the dinner table and talk often about their anxieties and fears,” said Mt Martha resident Kerrie Mc Millan, who lost her 20 year-old-son Sam, to suicide in 2011. Mr Orton said he supported Ms Mc Millan’s suggestion adding there was a need “for greater communication and connectedness across the community”. “Not only is depression devastating for families, friends and local communities, but it works against the health and well-being of all residents of the peninsula,” he said.

NEWS DESK Pet fees due

Services strained: Peninsula Community Legal Centre CEO Jackie Galloway says funding cuts will see people desperate for legal help turned away. Picture: Gary Sissons

Rosie Batty comes to aid of legal centre Continued from Page 1 The government announced last year it would slash funding by millions from 1 July to make up for budget shortfalls. The cuts, expected to be sustained through to 2019–20, will see community legal centres receive $31 million from estimated total federal government spending of $511.61 billion. Another online petition by the Law Council of Australia also calls for the government to maintain the funding so that community legal centres can provide essential legal advice and representation to Australia’s most vulnerable people. President Fiona McLeod said the crisis in legal assistance funding had grown worse over two decades, but that the planned cuts to take effect would be particularly disastrous. Ms Galloway said the peninsula service would be forced to turn people away if the cuts went ahead. “The people that seek our help eve-

ry week are most often suffering as a result of some sort of family dispute, and we see that domestic violence has ramifications that can affect housing, education, mental and physical health, and even debt levels. “Our clients needs help with a range of issues and without being able to access free assistance, thousands of people would suffer.” Federal Liberal Attorney General George Brandis has previously told The News the proposed cuts were the fault of the former Labor government, which had allocated the funding and set the expiry date of 30 June 2017. Senator Brandis said the government is negotiating an $18.5 million agreement for legal aid commissions in each state and territory to establish family advocacy and support services in family law court registries, under a “third action plan” to relieve pressure across the legal assistance sector and help people affected by domestic violence.

ANNUAL pet registration fees charged by Mornington Peninsula Shire are due by Monday 10 April. Cats and dogs over three months must be microchipped and registered with the shire. Cats three months of age and older, but less than 10 years, must also be de-sexed. The fine for failing to register a pet is $311 and in the 2015/16 financial year the shire issued 339 infringement notices. Income from registrations helps pay for offleash dog areas (mornpen.vic.gov.au/leashfree); the community animal shelter at Mornington (mornpen.vic.gov.au/lostpets); and producing information about responsible pet ownership (mornpen.vic.gov.au/pets). First time pet registration fees must be paid in person at any of the shire’s customer service centres as proof of de-sexing and microchipping will need to be viewed (mornpen.vic.gov.au/ ouroffices). Details: 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000.

Rabbit killer CSIRO scientists have confirmed the first recorded death of rabbits in Victoria from the Korean strain of calicivirus, known as RHDV1 K5. Two dead rabbits were found near a release site at Tanybryn, while one other was found near a release site at Kaniva in western Victoria. This result comes just two weeks after the national release of RHDV1 K5 by community groups and land managers at 150 sites across Victoria. The public is being encouraged to help track the spread of the virus by downloading the RabbitScan smartphone app. The app allows users to easily report evidence of disease to assist land managers across Australia understand the movement of the virus. Rabbits are regarded as being the most destructive agricultural pest animal in Australia, costing $200 million in lost agricultural production every year, with a further $6 million expended on rabbit control measures.

Olden days: St Joseph’s school and its pupils in 1927.

School’s 90 years of catholic education ST JOSEPH’S Primary School, Crib Point, is holding a year of celebration to commemorate 90 years of catholic education in Crib Point. St Joseph’s, in Martin St, was opened in 1927 by Archbishop Mannix to allow Father AJ Martin and the Josephite sisters to provide a catholic education for defence force families. At that time, many pupils also came from the migrant camp at Somers. Funds for the original building came from parents, committees and through collections from Our Lady Star of the Sea chapel at HMAS Cerberus (formerly Flinders Naval Base). For many years the Naval chaplain supported the school as there was no local parish, religious education leader Suzanne Deefholts said. “With the formation of Immaculate Conception Parish

in Hastings in 1956, the job of maintaining the school passed over to the parish. This year the school has 196 pupils from Crib Point, Bittern, Somers, Balnarring, Shoreham, Point Leo and HMAS Cerberus.

Club powers up to save BALNARRING Bowls Club is saving money and helping the environment. Solar panels on the roof and batteries to store electricity bought with a $10,000 federal government grant have led to reduced power bills for the club. “As well as saving money on

electricity, we are proud to have made efficiency gains that will contribute to a more sustainable environment,” CEO Evan Raskin said. Flinders MP Greg Hunt, second from right, is pictured at the club with members Harold Weber, Suzie Powell, John Dear and Evan Raskin.

Traders fear new mega-market MYSTERY still surrounds the identity of the supermarket eyeing the site of the former Masters store on Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington. The $4 million development proposal lodged with Mornington Peninsula Shire’s planning department has been “called in” by the mayor Bev Colomb and will be on the agenda for council’s April public meeting. A verdict on the mega-supermarket proposal was initially being left up to the shire’s planning department until its potential impact on the town’s retail landscape was realised.

We create beautiful smiles

The size of the proposed retail spaces and the “secrecy” surrounding the application has upset established traders. Mornington Chamber of Commerce president Alice Dawkins said the town “does not need another major supermarket – especially out of the Main St shopping precinct”. “It will not be good for the town,” she said. “We feel the shire has not been open about this, which is a problem. It all seems quite secret.” Ms Dawkins said “proper planning is not being done if they are not saying what is going in there”.

PENINSULA HAPPENINGS Somerville bargain hunters welcome bigger and better op-shop

Anthony, Vision Australia client

Opportunity Shop Grand Opening 1st April

THOSE worried about the fate of their favourite treasure trove for hidden gems and bargain buys can rest easy, says Volunteer Op-Shop Manager Christine Rogan, with a bigger and better Vision Australia Op-Shop set to open at Somerville Central on Eramosa Road on April 1, 2017. “We’ve been in our previous premises for seven years now and have very fond memories here, but we’ve outgrown it and moving to bigger premises means we can offer more,” said Christine. “The new shop will appeal to people who didn’t know about us before, attracting customers from the nearby retirement villages to young families from the local café around the corner.” The larger shop also means that the Op-Shop will be able to raise even more money to support people living in the local community who are blind or have low vision. “All the money we raise goes directly back to the community – it doesn’t go to administration fees at all,” said Christine. “Vision Australia

plays a really big role helping the young, the elderly and everyone in between to get on with their lives and become more independent. They are happy to jump in and help with anything and I think that’s what makes it so special.” Thanks to the larger premises, the Vision Australia Op-Shop will also be able to collect larger items and it is particularly looking to stock furniture. Though the new location represents an exciting future for the Vision Australia Op-Shop, Christine says it is the team of volunteers who make it what it is, all of whom will be moving across the new store. “Once you join, you’re here for life,” she said. “I was a customer and saw how the women bonded, and I wanted to be a part of that. And here I am 15 years on.” The grand opening of Vision Australia OpShop will take place on April 1 from 9am till midday at Shop 24 Somerville Central, Eramosa Road West, Somerville.

Visit Vision Australia’s new larger Op Shop store including quality donations, merchandise, equipment and furniture. All proceeds go to supporting people who are blind or have low vision in your local community. Op Shop details: Open

Suicide in Australia is a humanitarian crisis We are fortunate on the Mornington Peninsula to have recourse to [community group] Peninsula Voice. Peninsula Voice professionally addresses our local society’s social issues and our collective social consciences. It is commendable that Peninsula Voice is a voluntary organisation that has no agendas, nor does it charge. On 8 March its forum addressed youth depression and suicide with the primary expert on the issue in Australia, perhaps the world, Professor Patrick McGorry, Headspace and a brave lady who lost her son that way. I don’t have any vested interest in what Peninsula Voice does, except a great admiration, but I want to underscore that forum by submitting more facts about suicide that we all should know. Prof McGorry said eight people suicide each day and 77 per cent are male. It should not be that way. Other statistics show suicide takes twice as many Australians lives as all other forms of violence combined, including road accidents and homicides. It is being expressed as a humanitarian crisis. In September last year the premier [Daniel Andrews] promised $27 million for 10 years to address the matter, [which is] paltry beside the $500m he put into domestic violence and the ratio of deaths is one a week to 13 a week by suicide in Victoria. Check my figures, they are right, and there is no evidence that any money has been spent by the government. I have it on good authority that every train driver can expect two deaths by suicide under her or his train during a career. It helps to have a three month break, but is bad for post traumatic stress disorder. Tony Nicholl, Mt Eliza

Hard to get answers I am left wondering what it takes to receive a reply to my letters of concern dated 23 November 2016 and 2 February this year and co-signed by five other residents addressed to [Carl Cowie] the CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire concerning the administration of the Mornington animal shelter? Letters to [councillors] Sam Hearn and Rosie Clark and [the mayor] Bev Colomb, of Briars ward, also remain unanswered. This is not very satisfactory from a ratepayer’s point of view, one wonders why we bother to vote. At any other time when I have raised matters with the council I have received a response. Is it a case of this issue being too hard to handle or a rather “hot potato” for the CEO or the relevant department head, with neither party wanting to pick up the ball and run with it? Beverley Treloar, Mt Martha

Demolition regret Manyung Gallery management and staff join the many people who have expressed regret at the pending demolition of the old gallery site

Did you know... you can view our papers online

at 1408 Nepean Highway, Mt Eliza. Manyung gave notice in February 2016 of its intention not to renew its lease there (“Artists rally to save iconic site” The News 21/3/17). As publicised at the time, this was due to rising occupancy costs and the high level of maintenance required as well as some other factors. Manyung would have preferred to see the old building renovated with all asbestos removed, a new tenant with a viable business opportunity take on the lease and the old turret, drawbridge and roadside projection, remain unaltered. Sadly, this will not be the case and we respect the property owners’ right to progress as they see fit and are authorised to do so. The Manyung brand lives on in Mt Eliza at 60 Mt Eliza Way, at 6-10 Claremont Av, Malvern and at 113 and 119 Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento. David and Sharyn Wemyss-Smith, owners of Manyung Gallery Group

Socialism needed I find it amazing that some people are getting so agitated about the human-induced carbon warming quasi-religion; we all know that the climate is changing, it always has. The letters pages are being filled with too much hot air and too few facts. Worse, it appears that John Cain (“Rising seas”, Letters 21/3/17) says that I am a friend and a “cobber” of Michael Free. In previous letters, John Cain and others intimated that I am a (gasp) Liberal or a One Nation devotee. Because I disagree with them? To set the record straight, I had never heard of Michael Free until he mentioned my name in a letter (“Debate warms up” The News 7/3/17). I was a rusted-on supporter of old Labor when it was the political arm of the union movement and champion of the people. Now, Labor is also green, pink, all colours, whatever is fashionable. I believe the Liberal party to be the political arm of banks, big business and all of that lot. It is a minority party. This country needs a big dose of socialism like we used to have, with government at least owning all of the utilities. Both of these parties have been complicit in the destruction of Industrial Australia, with the consequent looming banana republic for us. Half a million or more voters who are disillusioned, or not brainwashed, voted for One Nation out of desperation to bring about change. At least Pauline [Hanson] says what we think. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Refuge delayed, again So now the US will not arrive on Australia’s islands of detention to fingerprint the refugees until April. Will the refugees already screened ever leave? I was awake last night - it was hot, but I had a cool fan and I heard this on the news. The long days and interminable waiting. What will the future hold for the children born there,

A lack of leaders Is it just me, or do others feel the same sense of foreboding when reflecting on the country we are leaving to our children? This is not the Australia that my parents or I was brought up in. Where is the leadership we so desperately need? Federally, it seems that any leader who dares to try and do what is best for our future but bucks the party factions is summarily dismissed (Rudd, Gillard, Abbott). The two major parties are so worried about their own jobs they have lost all desire to make good, but unpopular decisions. One Nation: Linking vaccination to autism and praising [Russian president Vladimir} Putin. Enough said. Greens: Their leader not only proposes a 24-hour week to solve unemployment but now is encouraging people to break “bad laws”. Enough said. At state level [Victorian] premier [Daniel Andrews] is at the behest of militant unions while others are feathering their nests at the taxpayers’ expense. The Opposition is a joke. Did nothing in government and stand for nothing but negativity now. Why is it so hard to find a leader who will actually lead? Where are the Menzies, Whitlams, Boltes, Grieners, Kennetts and Dunstans that had vision and the strength of character to make that vision a reality? As we sink deeper into lawlessness and drown in political correctness I still hold out hope someone will step up before it is all too late. Michael G Free, Mt Martha

Climate of fear Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Mention facts about climate change and the deniers come out swinging (“Majority ignored” Letters 14/3/17). Classing Al Gore’s film “An inconvenient truth” as “silly” just about sums up the mind set of Patrina Fredricksen and the rest of those deniers out there. Has Patrina seen Al Gore’s mansion and and can she tell us much power this mansion uses in any given week? She is quite wrong in her assumptions. The majority has spoken many times of the concerns regarding climate change being man made with coal being a major contributor, check out the polls that are run periodically during the year. The tactics that deniers use are to insult briefly quote baseless items as fact and then throw in red herrings such as Dorothea McKellar, who hasn’t been around since 1968 or start talking

growing up in a despairing community. Take away hope from desperate people whose only crime was to escape from fear of violence. Taking away hope and education from the young will see us having to face the outcome. Injustice foments a desire for vengeance. Surely a wealthy Australia could absorb 2000 without too much difficulty? As a deterrent, holding refugees as hostages beggars belief. Especially as Border Force has succeeded in the task of taking boats back to their country of origin. Let us resolve this problem by emulating Canada.

about immigration or mention the pool on the Rosebud foreshore. So 10,000 may have signed a petition for a pool on the foreshore even though it was going to cost mega bucks and was not coast dependant, but tens of thousands more in the shire who didn’t want the pool there said no. I thought Trump and Hanson were the main purveyors of fake news, but the climate change deniers would have to be up there. I wonder if the deniers think that there’s a little scuba diver swimming around the Great Barrier Reef painting the coral white. John Cain, McCrae

Two groups for Somers Sunday 5 March saw the successful Somers Village Community Association come together for a post VCAT victory assembly to discuss its future role in the community (“Merger talks follow footpath fight” The News 14/3/17). This meeting was generously peppered with members of the Somers Residents’ Association who came to observe and have input on the meeting’s agenda. Having shown a massive ground swell of previously voiceless Somers residents on the issue of the concrete paths and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s user pays scheme, it was time to discuss what’s next: Can Somers sustain two community groups? Does doing so keep alive the division that was created between the members of the newly formed Somers Village Community Association and the entrenched Somers Residents Association? The underlying inference of the meeting was that we all needed to look at a possible coming together. The entrenched feelings held by each group about the position, beliefs and method of operation of the other bubbled to the surface on several occasions. The only solution to this proposal would be the amalgamation of both groups. The issue as I see it is that the newly formed SVCA members do not want to go back to a situation of seemingly autocratic administration done behind, what many have perceived, to be closed door committee meetings. The bringing down of decisions on issues considered to be lacking the broader membership awareness or input. I think it is healthy to have two community groups as it keeps a razor sharp edge on the local issues being considered. Is it practical in a small community and does it cause underlying tensions? These are the issues to be resolved before the next major political, infrastructure or environmental issue touches this small coastal community. Michelle Gregory, Somers

Over-development One has to wonder what goes on in the heads of our town planers. After the over-development of “Shoe Box City” at the corner of Barkly and Pearson streets, Mornington, one can only wonder why an approval was given for a second, over-dense town house development in Gordon and Philip streets? It is high time that a minimum percentage of green area and free space gets introduced into the planning permit rules to stop this type of abuse. Peter Scharpenack, Mornington

Pupils’ day to focus on the environment SCHOOL children had fun and learned a lot about nature during Environment Week activities at The Briars, Mt Martha, last week. The emphasis was on making a difference through sustainable living and contributing to a sustainable future. The event, in its 33rd year, offers a broad range of topics and sessions about the environment which are designed to complement school-based learning. Wide-ranging presentations covered wetlands health and habitat, woodlands plants and biodiversity, wood-

lands mini-beasts, Aboriginal heritage and bush tucker, homestead gardens and animals and renewable energy. Children were taught aspects of horticulture, water conservation, marine studies, ecology, native fauna and flora, as well as community interest programs, such as CFA and friends groups. Environment Week president Ian Stevenson thanked sponsors, including Mornington Peninsula Shire, The Briars, local businesses, the E Week committee and the many volunteers from schools and community groups.

Scott, who have sold their properties. The sale will start at 11 a.m. *** Y M.C A. WAR ZONE CONCERTS The latest English mail brings advice that the military authorities at the front have definitely recognised the essential value of the Y.M.C.A. near the front lines, more especially in view of the cheering results on the soldiers which accompany the presence of the Red Triangle workers. In nearly all cases therefore the Y M.C.A, is waiting on the men in close proximity to the actual firing lines in France and Belgium. Here the entertainment element is kept well to the fore. Warm drinks to men coming from the trenches, followed by other comforts and services, have a wonderfully “bucking-up” influence. An officer writing to an Australian Y.M.C.A. secretary says:—” There is no need to back up the Y.M.C.A. It is ‘out on its own.’ The task you have undertaken in France is tremendous, but if nobody else does so in this war there is not the least doubt the Y.M.C.A. will “stick it”. A specially gifted entertainer, who is visiting the various huts and camps under Y.M.C.A.

direction, has written to the National Committee of the Association; saying :— “I have often found it an easy matter to get a few turns from the soldier audience to keep the concert going, which is very necessary when one is working alone. Sometimes men of extraordinary talent have displayed their power and astonished the audience. The men are splendid, and always greatly appreciative of the little one can do for them. It would gladden the heart of any entertainer to have such bright and cheerful audiences. One has been specially impressed by this when appearing before troops who have come directly from the trenches, but even more wonderful to me is the exteraordinary enthusiasm of the wounded: some brought to the ward in their beds, others I have seen on stretchers and no words of mine could express their gratefulness for what one is so willing to do for them. To give one instance of this: The Colonel of a large clearing station told me the other week:— “If you only knew the effect the concert has on our boys; it has done more than anything else to brighten them up.” - D.G. MACDOUGHLL. *** Frankston Court of Petty Sessions. Monday, 26th March 1917. (Before Mr Cohen, P.M. and Messrs Oates, Grant, Williams and Burroughs. J’s P.). W J. Field v Richard Bell, neglecting to have his name put on the Federal Electal Roll. Defendant admitted the offence, and was fined 1s. E. H. Ryan, assistant inspector of fisheries and game, v Alfred Lord. Having underweight fish in his possession No appearance of defendant. Fined 40s. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 31st March 1917.

Testimonial from vendors “I am not usually moved to write my appreciation and recognition of outstandingly excellent work and good practice, because I have seldom found it. This is not the case with Leonie Worrall. Our whole experience from the initial appraisal to conclusion has been nothing short of superb. Each member of the team contributed in some way. Not only were they familiar with our property but familiar with the status of the real estate market in general. After the one and only inspection we received immediate feedback which to us was vital as it “kept us in the loop”. Little did we know that “the loop” would only be required for two days. Leonie proved herself to be an outstanding negotiator and had our home sold within 2 days of it being photographed. Both my husband and I are extremely grateful to the team at Stockdale and Leggo Hastings as it has resulted in a more than satisfactory outcome and has made the whole process as stress free as the trauma of selling your home can be. Grateful thanks, Don & Sharon.”

Final victory: Baxter saw off Mt Eliza's challenge to become final winners of the Provincial premiership cup in the last season of the competition before a new cricket league is formed next year. Picture: Rab Siddhi

Baxter wins the final title PROVINCIAL By IT Gully BAXTER was crowned the final MPCA Provincial premiers on Saturday. With a new competition coming into play next season, the Provincial premiership cup handed over to the Baxter players will stay with them forever. It took just a couple of hours on Saturday for Baxter to pick up the two wickets required to win the match. In fact, it took until the first ball of the 14th over of the day to claim the title. Justin Bridgeman took out the off stump of Tim Clarke to wrap up the

match, Mt Eliza all out for 209. At the beginning of the day, the Mounties had two wickets in hand, chasing 273 for victory. They resumed at 8/172. Clarke was at the crease on 37 and Nick Baron resumed on five. Baxter opening quick Dale Irving started proceedings from the Somerville end of Tyabb’s Bunguyan Reserve to get play underway on the third and final day. Clarke’s intention was obvious and he played his shots from the opening delivery. Baron, however, had a clear game plan to stick around with Clarke. Mt Eliza players patrolled the boundary line offering support. Club

legend Lyle House was asked if he was nervous, only to reply, “we’ll only get nervous when we get closer to the target”. The Mounties were looking comfortable though, adding 17 runs in six overs to be 8/189. At the end of the sixth over, Chamika Sattambi was brought into the attack and straight away had a massive appeal for LBW turned down. However, on the last ball of his first over, Clarke poked a ball to a man short cover, who charged in and hit the stumps with a diving direct hit – Baron was gone and Mt Eliza’s faint hopes were dashed. The score was 9/190. Chris Brittain continued from the

Hastings end while Clarke, still visibly disappointed with himself, brought up his 50. Justin Bridgeman was brought into the attack after Brittain’s fifth over and Sam Wolsgrove replaced Sattambi at the other end. Wolsgrove kept things quiet while Bridgeman wrapped up the match. The drama did continue when Mt Eliza sent Baxter back into bat in the hope that they could produce a miracle. Firstly, Joe Rule, who was a hero of the first innings with a team-high 78, was retired hurt, which brought Chris Brittain to the crease. On 998 runs for the season, ‘Britts’

needed just two runs to bring up the magical 1000. He was trapped in front by Shaun Knott first ball. The word spreading around Graydens Rd later was that Brittain had in fact scored 1000 runs for the season. It was said that a six he hit against Crib Point was given to Brittain’s batting partner at the time, Dale Irving, instead of Brittain after a fill-in scorer relieved the ‘official’ scorer for a couple of overs. Regardless, Brittain as simply sensational in season 2016/17, as were the rest of his teammates. Baxter was the best side in it and once again, ruled another season of Provincial cricket.

Dart produces fine innings on big stage DISTRICT By IT Gully RED Hill captain Simon Dart produced one of the finest innings ever witnessed in MPCA cricket on Saturday to play a major role in steering his side to the District premiership. Dart played a masterful innings that saw him bat an additional 71 overs on the final day, on top of the overs he batted last Sunday, to finish unbeaten on 133. With four overs left to play in the grand final, the Hillmen had worked their way into a commanding position and needed just 10 runs off the final 24 balls with four wickets in hand. If the century wasn’t enough to help win the match, the way Dart orchestrated the victory was first class. It took just three balls for Dart to send two balls crashing to the bound-

ary line to give the Hillmen the runs they required to taste the sweetest of all glories – a flag. Social media lit up straight after the match from those from other clubs who had made the journey to Graydens Rd to watch the final day unfold. Describing Dart’s innings, words such as “unbelievable, brilliant, firstclass, a class-above and sensational” were all used. It was fitting for such a memorable performance. It was a superb effort from Red Hill, who resumed the final day at 3/70. Dart and Brent Martin were new to the crease and there were another 238 runs to chase down to claim victory. There were some words exchanged between Delacombe Park coach Ricky Ramsdale and Dart at the conclusion of play last Sunday. Suffice to say that Dart and his charges had plenty of ammunition to come out to play with on

Saturday. Martin was the aggressor and Dart was happy to poke around for singles and twos when play resumed on the final day. Both batsmen were faultless in the first session, however, as they approached tea, Delacombe Park legend Nick Christides was brought on to try and produce something special. With one of the worst half trackers you will see, Martin failed to get onto it and hit it straight down the throat of Andrew Christides. Martin was out for 66 after hitting eight fours in 155 balls. For the first time for the day, the Parkers were up and about. What came next was the defining moment of the match. On 80-odd, Dart tried to paddle-sweep a ball off Ricky Ramsdale, which popped up over the keeper’s head. The fieldsman was in a great position at first slip to take the

catch, however, put down a very simple chance. The very next ball, Dart sent Ramsdale to the boundary with a cracking cover drive. The Hillmen again settled and got to drinks to be 4/232 off 60 overs. Dart was on 90 and Robinson 15. Dart brought up his 100 in the 62nd over, however, requiring another 70 runs for victory, Carl was out for 23 in 45 balls. The score was 5/240. Red Hill wicket keeper Nick Esipoff then came to the crease and completely swung the momentum of the game. Requiring about four and a half runs an over when Esipoff came to the crease, this had been reduced to three runs by the time he went out. Esipoff hit 22 in 14 balls, including a towering six, before going out on the first ball of the 66th over trying to repeat the shot and was caught on the

rope. This brought Lincoln Toy to the crease, whose highest score for the year was 14. At 6/274 with eight overs left, Toy just needed to be there at the end. At the end of the 69th over, the score was 6/280. With five overs to go, Delacombe Park took the new ball. Many around the ground believed it was the wrong move. It proved to be with Dart smacking eight runs off the first over with the new pill. The equation was then 10 runs off 24 balls. Dart picked up a couple after flicking one off his pads, then hit two sensational fours to bring up the winning runs. It was a memorable match and fitting as the last District grand final ever.

Mornington too strong, Baxter ends Heart’s run SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie MORNINGTON’S title threepeat attempt got off to a flyer last Friday night with an impressive 2-0 away win over Casey Comets. Adam Jamieson’s men bossed their fancied opponent from the outset, particularly in midfield, where Scottish duo Craig Smart and Chris Reid were dominant. The confronting thought for others with eyes on the championship is that Mornington can only get stronger as the club maintains an interest in English striker Josh Hine from Salford City while another forward, Simon Mur, is back after two years in the UK and looking sharp in training. Young Josh Valadon did a fine job deputising for injured captain Simon Webster and linking with Steve Elliott at the heart of Mornington’s defence. The greatest challenge facing Jamieson is managing an embarrassment of riches as he oversees a squad with more depth than he has ever had during his nine-year reign at Dallas Brooks Park. Despite nursing a hernia, an injury he is prepared to carry throughout the season, livewire striker Wayne Gordon remains a thorn in any opposition’s side due to his workrate and the fact that he can finish as well as create. Fellow striker Ryan Paczkowski was immense against Comets, giving teammates further afield an option time and again, turning opponents inside out, scoring a goal and tracking back regularly in a man-of-thematch display. Smart opened the scoring in the 28th minute when he caught Comets keeper Faraz Zenoozi too far off his line and sent Paczkowski’s lay-off over the head of the diminutive custodian and into the top far corner. Two minutes into the second half Paczkowski took a touch with his back to goal then spun and struck a low left-foot shot inside the near post from just inside the area to make it 2-0. Mornington started getting into a yellow card minefield and ended up with six players cautioned. Gordon enjoys playing on the edge and he was testing the resolve of the match officials so Jamieson wisely took him off in the 76th minute and replaced him with Gino Defeo. In the 87th minute Junsoo Park was robbed by Mornington substitute Scott Millar but the tall midfielder

shot over from outside the area. Comets’ Canadian import Allando Matheson had entered the fray not long after Paczkowski’s goal replacing Andy Stubley but the closest the powerfully built striker came to making his mark was in the 91st minute when he headed just wide. It was the last goalmouth action of a contest that reaffirmed State 1 South-East’s status quo. This weekend Mornington is at home to St Kilda who has set the local scene alight with five championships in a row. Mornington captain Simon Webster is battling a glute injury but could be fit in time, Mur seems certain to make the matchday squad as does midfield import Matty Wade who is expected to return from a wedding in

England. St Kilda’s gun recruit is former Leeds United and Bury midfielder Zac Thompson. The club has also signed midfielder Brodie Paterson from Geelong and striker Steve McRae from Caulfield United Cobras. A four-goal blitz in a superb 22-minute spell in the first half powered title aspirant Langwarrin to a 5-2 away win over Mooroolbark on Saturday night. A rare Andy McIntyre goal, a double from Nabil Mozaffaruddin and a penalty conversion from Caleb Nicholes seemingly put Langy out of sight but Mooroolbark hit back before the break with goals from Sam Klepac to make it 4-2. Connor Belger scored late in the

Mount Martha Soccer Club’s celebrate their home away from home THE Mount Martha Soccer Club (MMSC) held their first annual Family Fun Day last Sunday (19 March) and celebrated the announcement of their home away from home Mace Oval. “The club has come along way in such a short period of time, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we as a community club have achieved,” said David Huggett, President of MMSC. MMSC was established three years ago, fulfilling a need within the local community for a local sporting club for children of Mount Martha and surrounds. Now in their third season MMSC have welcomed over 450 local families to their club and have a waiting list other clubs would envy. “Our club is a vibrant family orientated club with a powerful vision and a deep sense of family and community involvement”, said David. The day was also an opportunity for the clubs

many sponsors to mingle with club members and families and showcase their business. There certainly is a lot to celebrate this season for MMSC, with the announcement of their planned expansion for the All Abilities Side, confirmation of their official home ground for the season and having the highest team count for the Peninsula, MMSC are well and truly here to stay.

second half and Langy cruised to the line. Boris Ovcin returns from suspension for Saturday’s Lawton Park clash with Morwell Pegasus which has taken the scalps of Mornington (FFA Cup) and Malvern City in successive weeks. Baxter celebrated its second derby success over arch rival Rosebud Heart at Baxter Park on Saturday running out a deserved 3-1 victor. It was the first league game Heart had lost since 5 September 2015. Baxter featured debutants Travis Ernsdoerfer, Liam Tinsley and Ben Meiklem while Owen Kilner was back in the starting line-up after a long lay-off due to a knee reconstruction. Ernsdoerfer didn’t take long to make his mark and his cross from the right in the 5th minute was headed home by the unmarked Louis Griffiths at the far post to make it 1-0. A long kick downfield from Baxter keeper Francis Beck in the 15th minute saw Griffith break clear only to send a firm low shot thudding into the near post. In the 40th minute Heart goalscoring machine Dave Greening got into a rare one-on-one but Beck spread himself superbly to effect a close range smother. Ernsdoerfer brought Baxter fans to their feet five minutes into the second half with a cracking drive from just outside the area that was turned wide by Heart keeper Sean Skelly in acrobatic fashion. Heart failed to clear the resultant corner and Baxter substitute Dan Disseldorp struck a low shot into the far corner to make it 2-0. Ernsdoerfer got his name on the scoresheet in the 60th minute after another excellent solo run. The teenager squared the ball for a teammate whose shot was blocked but Ernsdoerfer followed up to tuck away the rebound. Cory Osorio caught Beck off his line in the 77th minute but by then the result wasn’t in doubt. “We weren’t at the races today. We thought we only had to turn up to win and we got punished for that mentality,” said Heart head coach Scott Morrison. Aaron Young resumed training last week and will come straight into Heart’s matchday squad for Saturday’s trip to Reema Reserve to take on Endeavour United. Heart’s Italian import Marco Cannella was stretchered off in the reserves and the extent of his knee injury wasn’t known as we went to

press. The downside of Baxter’s win was Mark Pagliarulo inventing another way to get sent off, this time by being substituted and engaging in a slanging match with the Heart bench which earned him a second caution and a mandatory red card. Baxter gaffer Roy Kilner is continuing his pursuit of teenage midfielder Sam Gallagher from Kingston City but is unlikely to sign the talented midfielder before Saturday’s home game against Noble Park. Two second half goals by Daniel Fotopoulos were enough for Mazenod to see off visitor Frankston Pines last weekend. Pines were without Christopher L’Enclume and Cedric Permal who remain in limbo due to a dispute with their Mauritian clubs over their international clearance. Pines defender Graham Hill was sent off in the 85th minute after receiving a second yellow card and will miss Saturday’s home game against Eltham Redbacks who defeated Peninsula Strikers 5-2. Goals from Strikers’ star Aziz Bayeh saw the sides locked at 2-2 at the interval but Strikers were poor at the back and in midfield in the second half and paid the penalty. Strikers’ boss Craig Lewis is determined to strengthen his squad. Seaford United probably wished it didn’t travel to Anderson Park on Saturday as it was on the wrong end of a thrashing going down 7-1 to Doncaster Rovers. Alex Roberts scored for Seaford. Somerville Eagles marked their FFV league debut with a 2-0 loss at home to Old Mentonians. This weekend’s games: SATURDAY, 3pm: Mornington v St Kilda (Dallas Brooks Park), Langwarrin v Morwell Pegasus (Lawton Park), Peninsula Strikers v Berwick City (Centenary Park), Frankston Pines v Eltham Redbacks (Monterey Reserve), Dingley Stars v Skye Utd (Chadwick Reserve), Baxter v Noble Park (Baxter Park), Endeavour Utd v Rosebud Heart (Reema Reserve), Drouin Dragons v Somerville Eagles (Bellbird Park).

Tyla targets national boxing champs By Ben Triandafillou PENINSULA boxer Tyla McDonald is set for another big year as she prepares for the 2017 Australian Boxing Championships in South Australia on 3 April. McDonald is wanting to go one better this year after winning a silver medal at the 2016 National Championships in the under-15 ‘Schoolgirls division’. McDonald was only 12 when participating in last year’s tournament against the older rivals and had only fought twice prior. With added experience, McDonald will again face older opposition at this year’s championships and heads into the tournament as a leading contender. Peninsula Boxing head coach Marcos Amado said McDonald is fighting and training very well and that he’s looking forward to seeing how she goes at the championships. “She’s flying at the moment and doing a lot of work with older and heavier girls,” Amado said. “She’s the sort of kid that you want to hold onto. She shows more drive and tenacity to keep improving than most.” McDonald fought in an exhibition match at Margaret Court Arena in a function centre on Saturday 18 March and will have one more fight in preparation for the championships. Looking to add to her record, McDonald currently holds three wins

from six fights. Marcos Amado said that boxing has really opened up and created more opportunities for female boxers recently. “Females are now able to compete in the Olympics such as Rio, so it’s great to have someone like Tyla coming through. You want to keep them interested and keep them going,” he said. Peninsula Boxing had a highly successful team at last year’s Underage National Championships with Jack Gipp, Kayne Gipp and Lochie Higgins taking home three gold medals and Tyla McDonald earning silver. This year, Peninsula Boxing will be represented at the National Championships by two boxers, Tyla McDonald and Jason Whateley who will be fighting in the Elite World Games box off.

Going for gold: Tyla McDonald is aiming high at this year’s Australian Boxing Championships.

BELEURA Junior Football Club representatives Matty Mayne and Khyal Jacobson have excelled in the 2017 AFLNZ Premiership held in New Zealand. AFLNZ approached the boys at the start of the year to participate in New Zealand’s premier football league as part of a pilot program after their performance in the 2016 ANZAC Tour. Since leaving on 2 March, the boys played three matches in the AFLNZ Premiership against some of the best senior players in the country. They also worked as ambassadors for AFLNZ and have had continued support from the Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League. Jacobson, 16, was a standout in his three matches where he consecutively made the Team of the Week side and was awarded the Best on Ground in his second match. Mayne, who turned 17 on the trip, was also able to join the Team of the Week side in his second match after booting two goals for the Central Giants. Khyal’s father, Jake Jacobson, said the boys were lucky to have the experience and they really enjoyed themselves. “They loved it. AFLNZ did an amazing job and the boys were able to really get involved with the Maori and Samoan culture as well as being able to play football with some of New Zealand’s best,” he said. The Mornington Peninsula junior footballers were provided with the opportunity after being selected last year by AFL South East and the Beleura Football Club to play in an ANZAC Day competition against New Zealand’s under-17’s side. While in New Zealand the boys also had the opportunity to run clinics

Horse put down after leg break By Ben Triandafillou THERE were mixed emotions at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mornington Cup as global powerhouse Godolphin racing stables faced the peaks and valleys of racing. More than 7000 racegoers packed the Mornington racetrack on Saturday (25 March) for the main event which was shaping up to be a fascinating staying contest. But celebrations around Godolphinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory with the John Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shea-trained Tally in the Group 2 Mornington Cup were short-lived as tragedy struck 100 metres past the post. Making a much-anticipated Australian debut, the Charlie Appleby-trained race favourite The Gold Trail stumbled shortly after finishing fourth, tossing jockey Craig Williams to the turf. Williams was knocked unconscious for a short time before regaining awareness and being transported to the Frankston Hospital for observation. Medical staff rushed to the horseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aid but sadly nothing could be done to save the English stayer who had broken two sesamoids on his near front foreleg. The Gold Trail was targeting victory at the Mornington Cup after two successful runs at Doncaster in the UK and Meydan in Dubai. The Gold Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body will be transported to the Werribee Animal Hospital for an autopsy. Williams was cleared of serious long-term injury the day after the race, according to Racing Victoria. Godolphin stayer Tally was victorious in the Mornington Cup in a sadly overshadowed win and was awarded exemption from the Caulfield Cup ballot. Tally settled midfield before bursting through late to hold out Vengeur Masque who finished 0.1 lengths second. Settlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stone closed late rattling off quick sectionals but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to reach the Godolphin stayer and finished in third. Tally is likely to be heading to the Caulfield Cup in the spring where he finished 12th in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event.

Calm before storm: Mornington Cup race favourite The Gold Trail is led out before tragically dying after finishing fourth. Picture: Ben Triandafillou
