Artist stamps his authority

Mail order: Artist Mike Harbar, on a 1936 Velocette motorbike, and Hastings Post Office manager Bev Craig with copies of his stamp drawings. Picture: Yanni

YOU could say Hastings artist Mike Harbar has been given the stamp of approval, or perhaps painted himself into a corner … Either way, the Classic Lines Artist is thrilled with his appointment by Australia Post as its next stamp artist. Harbar’s pen and watercolour depictions of four classic Australian motorcycles: 1904 Kelecom, 1912 Precision, 1919 Whiting V4 and 1923 Invincible Jap, will set veteran and vintage bike enthusiasts’ hearts racing next month – much like the iconic bikes. The artist, who trained as an industrial designer, emigrated from England in 2000. “I’d always drawn cars, bikes, boats and planes as a hobby even when I was at school, but my career really took off when I was asked by an early client: ‘Can you draw me a car?’ From there, in his adopted country, Harbar began a “steep learning curve” in a world where local motor sport legends Harry Firth, Peter Brock, Bob Jane and Allan Moffat reigned supreme. It was a transition he relished. “Now I know all the classic Australian cars,” he said. “I’ve only got to see a small part and I know them.” Harbar produces illustrations for hundreds of private clients world-wide, using his understanding of basic engineering principals to complement his artwork’s flowing lines. He also produces commissioned artwork for magazines and club events, and is the featured artist for Motor Classica.

Water plan needs cash flow Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council wants the state and federal governments to underwrite an infrastructure program to drought proof the shire and lift its firefighting capabilities.

This follows calls for a “resilient” water supply made at the June Green Wedge Summit at Main Ridge. The shire and South East Water agreed to jointly investigate “the potential for sustainable water projects”, including rain water, urban run-off and artesian water and the 350 million litres of treated water pumped daily into the sea at Gunnamatta (“Water ‘saviour’ of

green wedge” The News 2/7/18). Pipes from Melbourne Water’s Eastern Treatment Plant carrying the recycled water pass Arthurs Seat in Collins Road, Dromana. The shire wants governments to “take a bipartisan approach to bringing forward plans and announcing a policy for funding the introduction of a major water recycling program for the

Mornington Peninsula”. The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said a recycled water plan needed to “not only focus on water security for agricultural production but also for firefighting, particularly in the ridge areas of the peninsula where there are thousands of residents, farms and visitors to tourism facilities in summer”. He said the plan would involve

 Landscaping and Gardening Equipment  Bobcat, Excavator & Kanga Loader Hire  Building and Renovating Equipment  Log splitter, Slasher, Stump Grinder  Equipment Hire

pumping Class A recycled water to Arthurs Seat, the highest point on the peninsula, and then gravity feeding it all over the shire through a network of pipes. Fire hydrants at strategic junctions would allow roadside quick-fill points for CFA trucks during a major fire “instead of isolated tanks which may not be accessible during an emergency”.

Leadership spills divide MPs Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A BRUTAL week in Canberra as the Liberal Party bickered over its leadership has seen local federal MPs support different potential leaders. Dunkley MP Chris Crewther nailed his vote publicly to incoming prime minister Scott Morrison who defeated Peter Dutton 45-40 in Friday’s second Liberal party room leadership spill. Flinders MP Greg Hunt kept a lower profile but it was widely reported he was positioning himself to run as deputy to Mr Dutton. Mr Hunt started the week as both Health Minister and “a supporter” of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and ended the week outside of cabinet losing a bid to become deputy Liberal Party leader. Mr Hunt voted for challenger Mr Dutton in the first leadership spill ballot on Tuesday morning, then pledged loyalty to “the Prime Minister” in Parliament on Wednesday, before again voting for Mr Dutton on Friday. The Flinders MP handed in his resignation letter as Health Minister to Mr Turnbull on Thursday morning citing “an irretrievable loss of support for the leadership and loss of Party unity within both the Ministry and broader Party Room”. Mr Hunt’s decision not to support Mr Turnbull in the first leadership spill vote on Tuesday came three years after he told The News he believed in cabinet loyalty during leadership votes. When Mr Turnbull ousted Tony Abbott as prime minister in September that year, then environment minister Mr Hunt said: “I supported Malcolm Turnbull when I was a member of Mr Turnbull’s shadow cabinet in 2009 and equally, as a matter of deep personal principle and duty, I remained loyal to Mr Abbott as a member of his cabinet and voted accordingly.” Questions sent to Mr Hunt’s office asking why he did not vote for Mr Turnbull as party leader

AN elderly Hastings resident is calling for public assistance in finding a motorist who ran into her car and then drove off without exchanging names and addresses. Trish Allen, of Peninsula Parklands retirement village, parked her car behind Kmart, in the area bounded by Queen, Elizabeth and Victoria streets, 1.30-3.30pm, Thursday 23 August, while she visited her doctor. While there her royal blue Holden Barina was side swiped by the other car which was quickly driven away. “There is a whole piece missing,” she said. “I called my insurance company and was told I could not claim until I got the registration number of the other driver.” Ms Allen reported the incident to Hastings police who are looking for CCTV footage. Anyone knowing the culprits should call 5970 7800.

ment. “I do support the Prime Minister. Let me be absolutely clear,” Mr Hunt said in Parliament before the second leadership vote. In the immediate aftermath of the 45-40 vote in favour of Mr Morrison, ABC News political editor Andrew Probyn said Mr Hunt’s “integrity” over the past week was “questionable”. Mr Hunt put his hand up to be deputy leader to Mr Morrison in Friday’s party room votes, but lost up to Josh Frydenberg. Former deputy leader Julie Bishop was eliminated in the first ballot to become prime minister before Mr Dutton and Mr Morrison faced off to be leader of the federal Liberal Party and prime minister. On Friday afternoon, Mr Hunt released a media statement praising Mr Morrison and Mr Frydenberg as “great friends”. He was later reinstated as health minister.

TAKINGS from next week’s Crib Point community market, 9am-1pm, Saturday 8 September, will go towards helping needy farmers. This includes money raised from stall fees, Devonshire teas, community stall, Cribby Koala coffee and the raffle. The market, held on the second Saturday of every month, is at Crib Point Community House, 7 Park Road, Crib Point. It has a relaxed, social atmosphere in a rural setting, with stalls outside and inside the old school building and hall. On sale are hand-crafted and upcycled products, local produce, party plan items, and items from small home businesses. There will be a raffle and a silent auction. Organisers are hoping for more than the usual 30-40 stalls to help boost the amount they can donate. Stall holders are invited to email Michelle at market@cpch.org.au to book a stall. Businesses willing to donate to either the raffle or silent auction can call Mary 5983 9888.

Plea for identity of hit-run driver

while in cabinet last week went unanswered before publication deadline. Fellow federal Liberal MP Mr Crewther publicly expressed support for Scott Morrison before Friday’s leadership spill vote. ”If there is a party room meeting, a spill motion is successful, and the PM chooses of his own volition to resign and not contest, then there would be an open contest,” Mr Crewther wrote on Facebook on Friday morning before the vote. “In that situation, I would support Treasurer Scott Morrison for the leadership.” Mr Crewther said he voted for Mr Morrison because “he is a man of principle, faith and values” who “will best unite conservatives, moderates and those in-between in the party room, in the Liberal Party, and in the wider community”. Mr Hunt was widely criticised for voting for Mr Dutton on Tuesday morning before publicly backing Mr Turnbull the following day in Parlia-

Pupils’ donations teach kindness, generosity PUPILS at St Brendan’s Primary School learned the character strengths of gratitude and kindness, empathy and generosity, while donating goods to support farmers last week. This followed a call from teacher Cally McNulty for the community to donate toiletries to the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners Toiletries for Farmers appeal. The Somerville school’s student representative council (SRC) and community rallied and donated shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste,

toothbrushes, deodorants, feminine hygiene products, baby wipes, razors, shave cream, hand creams, moisturiser, cotton buds, bandages, antiseptic cream and tissues. The collection grew steadily over a week and a half with principal Sue Carr thrilled with the result. “It is a perfect example of how a community can come together to take positive action to support others,” she said. “The positive response provided a clear example of parents teaching their children about the character

strengths of gratitude and kindness. They were teaching their children to stand in the shoes of others and to respond with empathy and generosity.” While the SRC sorted and packed the products, teacher Cindy Twyford said it was lovely to hear their conversations about why our farmers were so important. “When asked why we should support our farmers, foundation SRC representative Catherine Bryant replied, ‘We need them to grow our food’,” she said.

Gas Import Jetty and Pipeline Project Drop-in information sessions At AGL we’re in the middle of planning a project that will source gas from domestic and international suppliers to supply customers in south-eastern Australia. With the existing Crib Point jetty having been identified as the preferred location for the project, a feasibility study is now underway. If this project goes ahead, liquefied natural gas (LNG) will be delivered by ship from interstate and overseas to a ship known as a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), moored at the existing Crib Point jetty. The FSRU can store LNG and convert it back into gas as required by the market. To deliver this gas into the domestic gas transmission network, the project also requires construction of a new underground pipeline between Crib Point and Pakenham that will pass through Hastings. To help share information and hear your feedback, we’re hosting project information sessions at five different locations in September. At these informal sessions, members of the community can stop by and speak with the AGL team, plus representatives from our partners in this project – including: •

Fire fight: A fierce early morning blaze almost gutted this Tyabb house on Thursday. Pictures: Gary Sissons

Fire battle rages on home front FIREFIGHTERS from four CFA brigades were unable to save a Tyabb house from being savaged by an early morning fire last week. Captain Jarrod Vetesi, of Tyabb CFA, said eight appliances from Tyabb, Mornington, Hastings and Somerville brigades rushed to the Jones Road property, 2.30am, Thursday 23 August. The two-storey brick house was well alight. The fire was possibly caused by a log rolling from the fireplace and setting floor coverings alight. Captain Vetesi said that while 90 per cent of the house was destroyed, the 65-70 firefighters did manage to save two rear bedrooms, bath-

room – and the owner’s prized hot rod parked in a shed at the rear. He said the steel roof may have saved the house from total destruction as less air circulated under this type of roof than under tiled roofs. Firefighters brought the blaze under control at 6.30am but were mopping up hot spots until 12.30pm. The owner of the acreage property, a man in his 70s, received burns to the back of his head and cuts to his face trying in vain to extinguish the blaze. He was taken to Frankston Hospital by ambulance.

WE’RE POWERING FORWARD MAKING ENERGY MORE AFFORDABLE

As Australia’s energy system transitions the Australian Government is making energy more affordable. We’ve turned the corner on electricity prices and reined in the power of the network companies. We’ve secured agreements with retailers to give customers a better deal – saving you hundreds of dollars a year. And we’ve ensured there’s enough gas for Australians before it’s shipped off shore. It’s actions like these today that power a more affordable energy future.

RENEWED calls for a multi-level car park at Frankston railway station have screeched to a halt. A proposal to ask Premier Daniel Andrews to “recommit to the position of a multi-level car park at Frankston railway station” was voted down at the 13 August public Frankston council meeting, with only Crs Glenn Aitken and Steve Toms voting in favour of the motion. A 22 January 2015 media release from the Premier’s office outlined the development of a “fast-tracked master plan” for Frankston station, which would include planning for “a new retail and café strip and multi-level car park”. $50 million was pledged at the time towards the “transformation of the Frankston Station precinct.”. With no multi-level car park to be found more than three years later, it was moved that measures be taken to encourage the Labor state government to commit to action. Crs Kris Bolam, Brian Cunial, Colin Hampton, Sandra Mayer, and Michael O’Reilly voted against making the request. Cr Sandra McCormack abstained. It was also suggested that council should send a letter to Mr Andrews indicating council’s “concern and dismay” that construction has not begun on the multi-storey development. That motion was voted down by the same councillors. Cr Steve Toms said before the vote that the car parking facility was something he would “continue to push on behalf of residents and business owners in this chamber because I see it as an important issue for our community. I don’t think it’s going to solve every single problem to do with car parking, it’s just one piece of the puzzle.” Mayor Cr Colin Hampton was among the councillors who voted against the letter to the Premier, stating that “surveys have been done, and females don’t like parking in multi-level car parks” as among his reasons for voting against pursuing further action. “We had a community meeting after [the 2015 car parking announcement] that was attended by 140 people. They decided where the money was going to be spent, and I have to remind councillors that there are many times where we make decisions in here that we then get community input on. I do support the notion of actually trying to get some money for car parking, but there’s a way of doing it, and by sending letters off to politicians, I don’t think it’s the way to go,” Cr Hampton said. Council did agree to request that the premier “investigate the issue of car parking in the context of not only the Frankston Railway Station Precinct, but also the opportunities for car parking as a part of the Electrification of the rail line to Baxter”. It was also agreed that the state Liberal opposition be called upon to conduct a similar investigation. The Committee for Greater Frankston has expressed concerned regarding recent changes to car parking rules, which mean developers will not have to provide visitor parking for residential buildings within 400 metres of Frankston train station. “Over time, the changes will erode the amount of car parking in the CBD and this will hamper economic growth. This is the exact opposite of what Frankston needs and what the community has been asking of the state government – increase parking in Frankston CBD so the revival of the city can continue,” Committee chief executive Ginevra Hosking said. “We are very disappointed but will continue to advocate for more, not less, parking as this is now an economic problem not just one of convenience. Across the board, traders, businesses, shoppers and visitors are telling us that we won’t fix Frankston’s economy without fixing car parking.”

Rotary, Salvoes bring rough sleepers in from the cold ROUGH sleepers in the Western Port region are being better cared for thanks to the generosity of the Rotary Club of Hastings Westernport. Its members have funded a kitchen, shower and laundry with washing machine and dryer at the Salvation Army centre, Hastings. Club secretary Heather Browning said the facilities cater to several

needs. “We had the shower and laundry installed to provide a place for rough sleepers to wash and have clean clothes and contribute to a modicum of dignity,” she said. “The kitchen provides for the Second Bite program and emergency food relief.” Rotary moved on the project after discussions with mission centre of-

ficer Laronie Thompson. “They are in addition to the amazing youth programs she provides,” Ms Browning said. “She does an amazing job.” The $15,000 facilities were opened on Friday 24 August. “As far as we are aware, there are no other facilities for rough sleepers in the Hastings area,” Ms Browning said. “There is nowhere for them to

go unless emergency housing can be arranged. “There are no facilities at the Salvation Army centre and they presently sleep wherever they find a safe place around town. “I believe the facility is well used already, with the kitchen providing around 150 meals each week. Anyone who wishes to use the shower is

welcome to do so and toiletries are provided with no questions asked.” Rotary members raised the money in several ways, including assisting with car parking at the Emu Plains market, Balnarring. “If anyone sees us out there in all sorts of weather doing what we can to raise a few dollars, have a chat to us and help if you can,” Ms Browning said.

SLEEPING on the job took on a whole new meaning last week when a man was found semi-conscious in the roof of a chemist’s shop hours after it had been burgled. Detective Shaun Rampal, of Frankston CIU, said the Frankston man, 29, may have fallen unconscious after consuming prescription drugs allegedly stolen from shelves during the early morning raid. Police were called to Chemist Warehouse on Wells Street after staff heard banging and thumping in the ceiling, 5.30pm, Saturday 18 August. They were unsure whether the noise was caused by a person or a trapped animal until a man’s head appeared through a hole in the ceiling. Frankston CFA crews used a ladder to bring him down. CCTV footage showed a man gaining access to the store through the roof and rifling the shelves at 3am, 14 hours earlier. He then scampered back into the ceiling cavity where he remained until his movements alerted staff. The man was taken to Frankston Hospital for treatment. He was expected to be charged with burglary upon his release from hospital, Detective Rampal said.

Thefts lead to charges

A FRANKSTON man was charged with 33 counts including theft of, and from, cars, as well as theft and

handling stolen goods when arrested in Chelsea last week. The 42-year-old allegedly committed the offences in the Frankston and Chelsea areas from 22 July-16 August. Detective Senior Constable James Keegan, of Frankston CIU, said the man was apprehended in a stolen vehicle while allegedly attempting to jump-start another vehicle, Thursday 16 August. A set of number plates in his possession were linked to another stolen car. He was remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, 24 September.

Home-made bomb explodes FIERY debris from a home-made explosive device detonated in Karingal in the early hours was scattered up to 70 metres and “could have killed or seriously injured someone”, police said. Detective Senior Constable Bernard Dowling, of Frankston CIU, said neighbours alerted by fiery rumblings in the street, 1am, Friday 17 August, called police to the scene on Karingal Drive. They arrived to witness three explosions in which petrol-filled aerosol cans were set alight and “firing like rockets”. The explosions sent shrapnel flying through the air and melted bitumen beneath. A 16-year-old Karingal youth was charged with making an explosive device and conduct endangering persons. He will appear before a children’s court at a later date.

Cheeky punch

A MAN who was punched in the face at a Frankston hotel fell backwards unconscious, 10.50pm, Saturday 18 August. Detective Sergeant Alistair Boyd, of Frankston CIU, said the 41-year-old Langwarrin man was later found to be not seriously injured in the alleged attack at The Cheeky Squire. Detectives say they expect to interview the alleged attacker soon.

Car set alight

TWO men used an accelerant to set fire to a car in the Carrum Downs shopping centre car park, 3.45pm, Wednesday 15 August. They ran off in a westerly direction when shoppers came on the scene at the corner of Ballarto and McCormicks roads. One man is described as 170cm tall wearing a grey hoodie. The possibly stolen car was destroyed. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Have your say

Pole-axed

A NUMBER plate left at the scene of a collision on Cranbourne Road, Langwarrin, was an easy pointer for police to the car’s owner and address. Soon after midnight on Saturday 18 August, Somerville Highway Patrol found a light pole knocked down in the centre median strip near Centre Road. It was blocking an east and westbound lane. The car involved had left the scene, but inquiries led police to a nearby house where they found the vehicle and its 20-year-old owner. The man, who was not injured, said he was making a right-hand turn from Centre Road into Cranbourne Road when he lost control after accelerating too fast on the wet road. He was breath-tested at Frankston police station where he allegedly blew 0.144 per cent. His probationary licence was suspended and he will be summonsed to appear at court. He faces a substantial fine and a lengthy loss of licence, police said. The still-driveable XR6 Ford ute was impounded for 30 days with a release fee of $961. The man must fit an alcohol interlock device to any vehicle he drives for a minimum of six months when he regains his licence. “This young man now has no licence, no car, heavy fines and ran the risk of seriously injuring himself and other people,” police said.

Undersized, over-filled

A CAR towing a box trailer full of metal sheeting on the FrankstonDandenong Road, Seaford, was pulled over and the driver fined,

Wednesday 22 August. He told Somerville Highway Patrol police he was taking the load to the recyclers. Despite having an orange flag on the end the load was still considered inappropriate and dangerous to other road users. The driver was fined $242 for breaching load limit rules as box trailers are not permitted any rear overhang – flag or no flag. Police urge drivers to plan ahead and use the correct size vehicle or trailer for their load, or perhaps consider having oversize goods delivered by the store.

Shattered glasses

REVELLERS who allegedly threw beer glasses from a balcony in a Mornington shopping strip are being sought by police. The incidents occurred around 10.30pm, Saturday 18 August, outside a licenced venue in Main Street. Police said a glass was thrown onto the road below endangering the public. While they were investigating another glass was allegedly thrown from the balcony narrowly missing a policeman and a police van. Anyone with information should call Mornington police 5970 4900 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Gnome on its way out Party time: These revellers are believed to have information that may assist police. Picture: Supplied

Thieves load up

TWO hungry thieves allegedly stole 10 packs of rib eye steak valued at $150 from the Mt Eliza IGA supermarket, Saturday 18 August. The men took their booty to a vacant aisle and loaded it into a backpack before walking out without paying. Anyone knowing the men – or who attended a barbecue with them – is asked to call Senior Constable Teffa Cunningham, Mornington police, 5970 4900, or call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or visit crimestoppers. com.au online.

THE “chrome gnome” that towers over the Cranbourne Road exit of Peninsula Link will leave the roadside next year. The shiny sculpture, officially called Reflective Lullaby, will head to Langwarrin’s McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery in August next year. Perhaps pre-empting a public outcry similar to that which followed the gnome replacing the previous Tree of Life sculpture in July 2015, the gallery announced last week well ahead of schedule that the Reflective Lullaby gnome by Slovenia born artist Gregor Kregar will be leaving its existing Peninsula Link home next year. The Southern Way McClelland, a public-private partnership between the gallery and Peninsula Link owners Southern Way, aims to rotate major sculptures on display throughout the Frankston municipality every two years on average. The organisation announced the gnome’s successor will be Love Flower by artists John Meade and Emily Karanikolopolous. “The fifth in this highly regarded series of Southern Way McClelland Commissions, John Meade and Emily Karanikolopolous’ Love Flower will be iconic and awe-inspiring,” McClelland Sculpture Park & Gallery director Lisa Byrne said. “As public sculpture, this work will engage in ways with the aesthetics of nature, as well as being an absolutely magical sight for all who pass by.” The Southern Way McClelland

Continued from Page 1 Cr Payne said drought conditions had impacted rural communities and “should be a major signpost for governments at all levels to maximise opportunities to provide recycled water for current and future generations”. “The reality is the Victorian government should have had this scheme factored into their firefighting strategy,” he said. The shire could also consider involving part of its 230 hectare property, The Briars, Mt Martha, to demonstrate crop development, promoting the recycled water scheme and for education programs. “The development of a recycled water pipeline and system for the peninsula is vital to provide water security to the wide variety of agricultural activities, including wineries, beef production, and agricultural based tourism, as well as firefighting,” Cr Payne said. “All of these activities are key employment and sustainable employment generators.” Nepean Liberal candidate Russel Joseph said the water would be pumped to steel tanks and existing large dams that would be topped up all year. “We would not have to rely on rainfall to fill the dams which would free us from the effects of drought and climate change,” he said. “By using the recycled water we could restore environmental flows to creeks and streams. “Firefighting helicopters could simply lower their booms into large dams to fill their tanks and then be away more quickly.”

Anti-gas protest takes to the road MOTORISTS travelling on Peninsula Link last Wednesday morning were confronted by new road signs. But rather than being instructed about regulating their speed or on which side of the road to drive they were being told that AGL’s plans for a floating gas terminal at Crib Point should be scrapped. A banner held aloft on a bridge spanning the highway proclaimed “Save Westernport” and “# No AGL gas”. Jack Dewhurst of the Peninsula Environment Action Network said the floating gas terminal and “hundreds of gas ships coming in and out of the harbour would expose the entire ecosystem to environmental destruction, pollution, invasive species, and potential gas plant explosions”. “To jeopardise Western Port’s amazing environment that tourists come from across the world to visit is to jeopardise many local communities economic survival,” he said. AGL’s plans to moor a 300 metre long floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) to convert imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) before being piped to Pakenham.

“What many people don’t realise is how destructive this project will be. In order to process the gas the floating gas plant takes in seawater, uses it in the conversion process, the dumps it back out into the bay,” Mr Dewhurst said. He said the process would use up to 450,000,000 litres of water a day. The chlorinated water would then be pumped back into the bay seven degrees below the bay’s regular temperature. “All of these factors endanger the local environment,” Mr Dewhurst said. “We [held the banners] to show that AGL does not have the social licence to build this plant. “The state government has acknowledged that there is no gas shortage, and so there is no reason for the community to be saddled with this white elephant. It is destructive and unnecessary, and we as community members are calling on [the Premier] Daniel Andrews to do the right thing by Western Port and reject the proposal.” Keith Platt

‘Gas an important part of the energy mix’ - AGL By Kelly Parkinson, AGL’s senior manager project engagement

AT the recent community rally at Hastings, some key issues on safety and the environment about AGL’s Crib Point Gas import jetty project were understandably raised. First, we agree Western Port is an important environmental area that must be cared for. AGL is a company that has a keen focus on the environment, sustainability and the communities in which we operate. Therefore, we expect to be held to account on these issues. We’ve been reporting our social and environmental performance through an annual sustainability report. Of course, if you look, you will find areas where others think we could do better in these areas.

In 2015, we unveiled our transition plan, which involves getting out of coal, starting in 2022 and ending in 2050. It’s designed to be rolled out over time to deliver affordable, reliable and sustainable energy in a more environmentally friendly way. Some in the community want us to do this even faster. This change is under way and we’ve already developed some of Australia’s largest solar and wind farms. However, the journey will take time and as we’ve said from the start, we can’t simply switch off today or the lights won’t switch on tomorrow for Australian families and businesses. That’s why gas remains an important part of the energy mix. We’ve developed plans for this gas import facility because gas is a crucial

part of the transition to a low carbon future and remains important to industry, as well as to households for cooking and heating. It’s a source of fuel that helps back up wind and solar until major storage technology improves. It does so in a safe, more sustainable way and comes at a time when Victoria needs gas. We identified Crib Point as an ideal location after an extensive evaluation process; because, we could make use of existing infrastructure and minimise our footprint on the environment. For the past 12 months, we’ve been working with the community consulting on our plans. During that time, we’ve commissioned 15 expert studies assessing potential impacts on issues like the environment, historic heritage and the marine ecosystem. These draft reports have spelled out

the effects and they’ve been published online at www.agl.com.au/cribpoint and we’re urging the community to look at them and provide feedback. We are also currently facilitating a community-led independent review of the expert reports. We will also use safety experts to verify and design the safe operation of the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) to ensure it meets all required safety standards. There will also be regulators from local, state and federal levels who will ensure our proposal meets the required safety standards before we can proceed. These include the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), Port of Hastings Development Authority, Worksafe Victoria, Victorian Regional Channels Authority (VCRA), the harbourmaster, Transport Safety

Victoria, Maritime Safety Victoria and the Commonwealth Office of Transport Security. Around the world, LNG ships have become common. There are around 500 operating safely every day and there are more than 100 more on order. LNG carriers are highly sophisticated with layers of monitoring and protections. There are also a range of strict international conventions in relation to safety and the environment and we will have more community meetings to discuss these. There will be a community drop in information session in Cowes, Phillip Island on 13 September. We understand the environmental significance of Western Port and we will continue to work with the community to try and address its concerns.

Brushstrokes invoke spirit of green wedge THE spirit of the Mornington Peninsula green wedge has been captured by the brushstrokes of 100 artists in the inaugural Green Wedge Paint Out. From these works, two have been chosen for major prizes: Winning artist Chris Pubela won a $500 bursary for her work Natural Beauty, an oil on canvas portraying the open spaces around Bittern reservoir. A $250 bursary encouragement award went to William Goodwin for his oil on canvas Green Wedge 1. The mayor, Cr Bryan Payne, thanked the artists saying the Paint Out had been one of the major highlights of the shire’s Thin Edge of the Green Wedge community awareness campaign. “The interaction between artists and the landscape of the Green Wedge produced an outstanding collection of works, varying in technique and producing glimpses of the changing moods of the landscapes,” Cr Payne said. “The paintings enable our community to gain a wider appreciation of the special environment we all enjoy, and the council and community needs to protect.” From these entries, seven will go on show at the shire offices in Rosebud over the next four months. Cr Payne thanked peninsula artists Jennifer Riddle and Ken Smith who ran the Green Wedge Paint Outs for the artists, and the work of the council staff who organised, judged and curated the exhibition in the Rosebud council chamber. “All councillors, staff and visitors will have a constant reminder of the importance of protecting the green wedge, which covers 70 per cent of the Mornington Peninsula Shire,” Cr Payne said. He congratulated the 100 artists who took part in the event. “The Thin Edge of the Green Wedge has been a highly successful, ongoing program, and we will all look forward to our artists continuing to capture the spirit of the Green Wedge,” he said. An online gallery of some of the paintings is on the Council’s website: The Thin Edge of the Green Wedge.

Harbouring hope: The team from Women’s Spirit Project is seeking funding to help complete their trek across the Mornington Peninsula. Picture: Supplied

Pick a peninsula project VOTING for a state government’s Pick my Project community grant is now open with 56 vying for selection on the Mornington Peninsula Shire. There are 36 projects in the Frankston area eligible for a grant. At least $1 million will be made available for projects in the municipalities of Cardinia, Casey, Greater Dandenong, Kingston and Mornington Peninsula. Any individual project is eligible to receive up to $200,000. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bryan Payne said he “encourages community members to get behind these wonderful local initiatives taking place throughout the peninsula”. One of those projects is a bid by Wallara Australia to build a new playground and visitor facilities at Sages Cottage, Baxter. “Sages Cottage farm has been a special place on the peninsula for many years. Our vision is to carry on that legacy and open it up to everyone to create a truly unique and inclusive property for people of all abilities to enjoy. I encourage all members of the community to vote for our Pick my Project bid to help us realise our vision to build Australia’s most inclusive farm and set

a new benchmark for inclusive attractions on the Mornington Peninsula,” said Wallara CEO Phil Hayes-Brown. Another campaign is being made by the team behind the Women’s Spirit Project. The project is aiming to recruit 25 local women who will participate in 25 days of workshops over four months. It will end in a 70 kilometre trek of the peninsula. “What I have learned, time and time again, is that holistic programs that work with the mind, body and soul awaken the full dimension of who we are,” Women’s Spirit Project founder Jodie Belyea said. “In those moments of achievement and struggle, adventures reveal what we are made of; what we are capable of, supporting us to grow in confidence and resilience. Frankston has some of the worst statistics in the country for measuring disadvantage and I know that this project can help change that.” Voting for projects ends 17 September. Votes can be cast online at pickmyproject.vic.gov.au. Winners will be announced in late September.

Good evening: Here’s Hitch MEMBERS of the Australian and Fine Arts Society, Mornington Peninsula, are awaiting John Francis’ lecture: Who Done it? Hitchcock: Master of Suspense, at their next meeting, Friday 31 August. An internationally acclaimed speaker trained as a painter, Mr Francis was awarded the Max Beckmann Memorial Scholarship in New York and later became an artist-in-residence in Texas. He also produced and directed short films and animations. He has taught film, art and pedagogy at universities in the US and Britain. His lecture will examine the films of Hitchcock, the film director and “master of darkness”, who made more than 50 feature films, often about innocent people caught up in events beyond their control. Hitchcock’s catholic upbringing, his uneasy relationship with femininity, and his early works

of the Silent Era will be discussed. His Londonbased dramas, Blackmail (1929) and Dial M for Murder (1954), will be analysed. After moving to Hollywood, Hitchcock created several masterpieces of cinema, including Vertigo (1958) and Psycho (1960). Although regarded as entertainment, cinema critics have argued that Hitchcock’s films should be regarded as artistic masterpieces. He remains by far the most studied film director of all time. ADFAS lectures are held at the Peninsula Community Theatre in Wilsons Road, Mornington, 5.30pm on Friday evenings. The hour-long, illustrated lectures are followed by light refreshments. To book call secretary Glad Hungerford 97872092. First-timers free. Other details: Call Vicky Davison 0407 810 877.

A HORSE LOVERS PARADISE Only a five-minute drive to the heart of Mornington and a 400-metre walk to the racecourse, this 1 hectare property provides many potential uses to re-develop what is a unique investment opportunity. The large home consists of two independent zones, perfect for extended families, or to provide extra income by leasing out accommodations to strappers and jockeys. From the front porch you step in to a large formal lounge and dining area with floating timber floors, and across to the right is the master bedroom complete with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. A neat white kitchen has an upright electric stove with gas cook top, and there is plenty of cupboard space. Across the hall are three more bedrooms that all share the main bathroom, and opening from a comfortable family room is the expansive brick-paved courtyard. A mud room acts as the go between from the main home to the self-contained guest quarters which was built about 18 years ago. Comprising two more bedrooms - one with a walk-in robe - there is a spacious open plan zone incorporating a timber kitchen with stainless-steel oven and gas cook top. The external features are all about the horses with a brick stable block divided into five boxes, there is a wash bay plus rooms for feed and tack. A large three bay shed will comfortably house the float and other machinery, with a second shed set up to store hay or shavings for the five secure day-yards - four of which have shelters. A total of six paddocks are all well fenced with combination of post, rail and electric fencing.n

Mornington rail better option than Baxter Henry Kelsall’s letter (“Parties ‘united’ over waste of rail money” 21/8/18) misses the point about important transport challenges faced by Mornington Peninsula Shire. While he presents some admirable options for alternative uses of the money, the fact is that if you drive to Frankston to catch a train there is nowhere to park. By 8.30am the car park is full. Two additional stations on the network will alleviate this. An even better, more sensible option would be to re-open and electrify the line to Mornington where a much larger population base exists than at Baxter and surrounds. This would enable people of the southern peninsula - such as Dromana, Rosebud and Rye - to access the rail network without driving to Frankston (or Baxter) and Frankston residents would get their railway car park back. The shire and the state government need to make the right choices to help residents move more easily around the peninsula and beyond. Railways are a great way to achieve this and take pressure off the road network. John Manfield, Blairgowrie.

Transport not found What a beautiful publication is FOUND, which has found its way to our letter boxes and showcases the best of our beautiful Mornington Peninsula. We are truly blessed to live in such a picturesque location. However, I feel that there an omission which should be corrected. FOUND assumes that everyone will be driving to and around the peninsula.

However, there are those who come by public transport. There is a Services page for Mornington Peninsula Visitor Information Centre listing services available. But it does not mention public transport timetables. I have counted 11 places accessible by the 788 bus, perhaps its 75 minute frequency at weekends should be mentioned. Also, one must question as to when there is going to be closer access to the ferry at Sorrento instead of the steep hill. Let’s hope there will be some of this resolved in the future. Brenda Rowlands, Mt Eliza Editor: FOUND is published by Mornington Peninsula Tourism and the Mornington Peninsula News Group (publisher of this newspaper is a sponsor).

Fascist actions There is a children’s health crisis on Nauru Island. A 12-year-old boy with severe muscle damage is on a starvation regime because his mental health is deteriorating. [Former Home Affairs Minister] Peter Dutton refused to act and bring him to Australia for treatment. A 14-year-old boy is also on a starvation diet -again the Australian government refuses to act. What sort of nation are we to stoop to the level of cruelty on this scale? The Pacific Forum will be meeting in Asia next month. The publicity that will published overseas will further blacken our reputation internationally. Australia is already being exposed for its heartless treatment of refugees. To hold people who have refugee status

indefinitely is a crime against humanity. I urge concerned people to write to the Minister for Immigration and Home Security (whoever that is) on their behalf now. We are not a fascist country and this is a fascist policy. Please bring the refugees to Australia - six years of detention are punishment enough. I am writing on behalf of Grandmothers Against the Detention of Children, GADRC. Patricia Rayner, Somers

The cost of energy Default energy prices on power companies, as well as tough penalties for providers that failed to bring costs down is more government tampering rather than dealing with the problem. Does anyone think this will work in the long term? It looks good on paper but what it means is that in order for the corporate mafia to continue to grow their profits they will now make many people redundant, outsource jobs to India and stop fixing infrastructure. The end result is a failing grid in worse shape than it is now. Australia’s 2014 electricity prices are low by overall international standards, being ranked 22nd out of 38. Just more political fodder, they add to the feeding trough for the brainless dead. Now for the kicker: renewable energy is cheaper than coal-fired. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Bleak outlook for life Must we starve? We recently had a letter imploring us to stop eating fish (“Fishing is cruel” 7/8/18). Now we have a letter warning us of the disastrous consequences of eating other land animals (“Animal-linked drought” Letters 14/8/18). Next we will have to stop eating plants because they are “saving” us by turning carbon dioxide into oxygen. All in all, things don’t look too good for those of us that need to eat.

If you’re really serious about doing something for the planet then stop playing around the edges. Get serious and stop having babies. Rod Bennett, Hastings

Stop drinking milk Dairy farmers are telling people that the supermarkets are making them work for a pittance. But who are the real victims here? I grew up on a dairy farm and discovered while very young that cows, like humans, gestate for nine months, but their calves are ripped from the distraught mothers a few hours after they are born. Anyone who has witnessed a cow returning again and again to the place her missing baby was born, and often refusing to eat, will never again doubt that these animals suffer and feel grief as we do. The male or “bobby” calves are usually sent for slaughter at five days old, terrified, cold and hungry, and can legally be transported for up to 30 hours, without food, to a terrifying slaughter. The heifers enter the same cycle of constant pregnancy and milking. When their bodies wear out and their milk production wanes, they are slaughtered as “spent” at the age of five to seven years old, less than a quarter of their potential age. Cow’s milk is suited to the nutritional needs of calves, who have four stomachs and gain hundreds of kilos in a matter of months. For humans, milk is high in fat, a common trigger for allergies, and linked to many illnesses. Asking people to buy more milk, and pay more for it, to keep dairy farmers in business is like saying we should all smoke cigarettes, to support struggling tobacco farmers. Humans don’t need to drink cows’ milk, and we’re healthier if we don’t. Let the invisible hand of the market do its work, and then the farmers can move (like tobacco farmers did) into more ethical products that cause less suffering, less human disease, and less pollution. Desmond Bellamy, PETA Australia

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

George Patterson writes from “somewhere in France” Compiled by Brodie Cowburn MR A. Patterson has received the following letter from his son George, who has been on active service for some considerable time, and still appears to be going strong: Dear Father and Mother, Have just received your very welcome letter and pleased to hear that you are all well as it leaves me at present. I have met Len Mackie at last and have been with him all the afternoon. He seems to walk a bit lame yet and do not think he will last over here long. Things are very quiet at present after some of the lively times that we have had. It just seems like heaven to have an easy time of it and we have deserved all that we are getting, and when I get back I will tell you things that will open your eyes, about what our lads have done. They are, without a doubt, the finest soldiers in this war, and it would have been ‘God help England’ without a few of our lads that could stand and hold the Fritzies with odds 20 to 1; and now no matter where we go about France the French people give us a bonny time, especially in Paris where they make you feel like if you were at home, and now the Yanks are pouring in, in thousands we might get that long spell that has been promised to us, and the one that we have earned too. Glad to hear something of Chas. Watson, as I have not had a letter from him for some months now, but he still sends papers to me, which come in very handy now-a-days, and I would like to find out his address so I could write and thank him for same. ***

NATURALLY the people of the English speaking race, standing shoulder to shoulder in the fight for the world’s freedom, are possessed by a strong desire to draw closer the ties which unite them. In moments of expansion Londoners feel that it would be good to have a man like Hughes living in their midst; and New Yorkers are impressed by the nation that a man of high calibre residing in the United States would do much to promote profitable intercourse between America and Australia. We feel that Australia should be better versed in the purposes of Great Britain, and that Great Britain should have fuller knowledge of the feeling of the dominions. The war has taught us how closely our fortunes are united; has taught us that if at any future time England should fall to the Hun, we must perish as a free, self governing people. We would very gladly be represented in the councils of Great Britain by Australians of mark, who would inform Federal Ministers of Britain’s purposes. Hitherto “Home” appointment have too often been made by way of rewarding a veteran who lagged superfluous on the local stage, or of getting rid of political friends who had grown troublesome. It has always been recognised that no politician can always remain in London as the representative of Australia today. Changes of thought and feeling come rapidly, so that two or three years about Westminster put a man our of touch with the Federal Parliament. So those in the prime of life are seldom disposed to accept an appointment necessarily temporary

and which may last just long enough to leave them outside new political alliances. Perhaps if an honest attempt is made it may be possible to send as High Commissioners, as Agents General, as commercial delegates, men elected simply because they are fit for the task they undertake. Hitherto, there has been no attempt. Positions of the kind referred to have been openly regarded as prizes for important services to one or other of the great parties, and as a result pegs have been thrust into holes without much regard to fitness. So there is universal growling at a system which in thirteen years has raised the cost of Australian representation in London from £25,000 to £140, 000, and which so far as most of us can see has not given us a much better service in return than we received in 1905. The only reason for assuming that other appointments may be made on sounder lines is that the times are critical, and that all but the basest feel a stronger sense of national duty than they cherished in the pre-war days. *** THE attention of motorists and others is directed to an advertisment in another column, drawing attention to some special lines now on sale at H. P. Forster’s garage, Frankston. *** MRS Bunney intimates by advertisment in another column that she has taken over the fruit, vegetable, and confectionery business lately carried on by Mrs Rimmer, and hopes to command a share of public patronage. *** A PAINFULLY sudden death oc-

curred at Mornington on Tuesday 20th inst, when Mr Louis Harrison, whilst ascending the stairs at the Grand Hotel, suddenly collapsed. The deceased, who had been the proprietor of the Grand Hotel for a number of years, was well known in the district, and was universally esteemed. He was connected with, and took an active part in, all the local sporting bodies, and was a prominent figure in any movement for the benefit of the town. Great sympathy is expressed by a wide circle of friends for MRs Harrison and family in their great bereavement. *** THE following letter has been received from Sir David. Hennesy, in which a cheque for £1 1s was enclosed for the Avenue of Honor: Dear Mr President, In reply to yours of 19th inst. I am enclosing my cheque for 21s towards planting trees in memory of our brave boys who have nobly died for their Country’s cause. I must congratulate you, and the great band of Patriotic workers of Frankston who have so unselfishly assisted in all movements for the cause and benefit of our fighting heroes. *** ANOTHER of the series of fortnightly euchre parties and dances under the auspices of the “Wattle” Club was held in the Frankston Mechanics’ on Thursday, 29th inst; There was a good attendance, and the prizes for the euchre tournament fell to Mrs Lee and Mr Thompson senr. After an enjoyable supper, the usual dance was held. *** FRANKSTON Court of Petty Ses-

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Tips For How Melbourne Can Get Its Mojo Back By Stuart McCullough WHOOPS. After a seven-year reign, Melbourne has finally lost the title of ‘World’s Most Liveable City’ to Vienna. And, if I’m being honest, when I heard the news I couldn’t help but feel somewhat responsible. Last week, a brown hatchback cut me off without so much as indicating and in response to that provocation; I not only used my horn but also deployed the kind of language that should only ever be used at sea. It’s a small thing in the scheme of things but, I fear, it may well have been the difference between first and second. Frankly, I find hard to imagine that the sweet citizens of Vienna would ever say the type of things that came out of my mouth. Truth told, I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner. Frankly, I wouldn’t have been surprised if we’d been disqualified completely after Meat Loaf sang at the Grand Final a few years back. As a general rule, it’s hard to reconcile the idea that you’re in the world’s most liveable city and having to cover your ears with your hands while some dude tunelessly caterwauls as though he’s about to spontaneously combust. Perhaps news of this event has only now filtered its way back to the continent. It’s unfair if it counts against us - I feel we’ve made amends since then. That it’s Vienna that’s beaten us hurts somewhat. Last I saw of Vienna, it was a total mess and Orson Welles was hiding there. Things have improved since Harry Lime’s last visit. But it gets worse. According to the internet, Vienna is known for it’s love of coffee and devotion to the wiener

schnitzel which, to my eye, looks a lot like a parma save that it doesn’t come with chips. This stings. It’d be okay if we were relegated to second place by a city that was so completely different to ours that you could chalk the result up to personal preference. But no, Vienna is a lot like Melbourne. Except that – according to

the Economist - it’s just that little bit better. I demand a recount. If we can’t distinguish ourselves in terms of cuisine, there’s always culture. Melbourne has produced a slew of wonderful musical artists; from Nick Cave to Olivia Newton-John. Crowded House was formed in Melbourne. Ditto Men at

Work. AC/DC lived here for a time. Vienna, for its part, has produced Falco. Granted, ‘Rock Me Amadeus’ has a certain, albeit limited charm, but I can’t see him sustaining a Sunday afternoon residency at the Espie for any more than a couple of weeks. At best. It’s true that Mozart used to live in Vienna, but so too did Hitler and Stalin. To the best of my knowledge, neither of those losers ever set foot in Melbourne. For its part, Melbourne still has a couple of drive-in cinemas as well as a Blockbuster video store. This, I feel, ought to count for something. There’s the Boxing Day Test, the AFL Grand Final and a day off work for a horse race. Beat that, Vienna. I guess Vienna had Sigmund Freud, but Melbourne produced Barry Humphries, whose work would likely cause Siggie to have a total meltdown. It’s not just famous people, either. Melbourne is very much about nature. Even today, parts of the city are home to a number rare and fragile species like the fairy penguins of St Kilda and the hipsters of North Fitzroy. Both emerge at dusk to feed, although only one of them is silly enough to wear skinny jeans and use beard wax. Now that the unthinkable has happened, it’s time to reassess. Was it really my intemperance that has seen an entire city taken down a notch? Hopefully not. But a crown, once lost, is almost impossible to regain. It’s going to take cooperation if we want to ensure that this demotion is not the beginning of a downward slide into obscurity. Put simply, we

need to redouble our efforts. Luckily, there are plenty of things we can do to make the joint even more liveable than it already is. Moomba should be every weekend. I don’t mean some reduced circumstances, cut-price, discounted two-dollar-shop version of Moomba, either. I’m talking the Chinese Dragon, birdman rally and the parade that has no discernable theme and makes no real actual sense but we love it just the same – the whole shebang. The city is never better than it is during Moomba. It’s pretty much the same every year, making it weekly is something everyone could enjoy. We should start indicating when changing lanes. Granted, it’s currently a rule but the city would be even better if we all swallowed our pride and actually started doing it. The Yarra should be concreted (it’s doing us no favours) and Bourke Street completely carpeted from one end to the other. ‘You’re Going Home in the back of a Divvy Van’ should be given the full operatic treatment it so richly deserves. There are heaps of things we can do to win back the title that rightly belongs to us. There’s nothing so challenging as a change in status. The worst thing about being a champion is knowing that, someday, someone will replace you. It’s inevitable. Seven years is a pretty impressive reign. It’s at least worthy of a plaque of some kind. Or, in true Melbournian style, a public holiday. I’m sure we’ll reclaim our crown at some point. I, for one, will do my best not to let the side down. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Red Hill break long drought DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn THERE was drama for Dromana this Saturday, as they stumbled to a shock loss in the Division Two semi final at Thomas Barclay Oval, with their Red Hill opponents winning their way to their first Grand Final since 1990. The Tigers have dominated nearly every opponent during the home and away season, and were expected to claim a win over the Hillmen to secure their spot in the big dance. Things got off to a strong start for the Tigers, who capitalised on Red Hill’s sloppiness in front of goal to take a 15 point lead into the first break. After quarter time, momentum swung in favour of Red Hill, as they scored four goals to Dromana’s zero to claim the lead. Although they went into half time with the lead, their form in front of goal was proving worrisome. Despite maintaining the lead, Red Hill continued to have little luck putting goals on the board in the second half. Having kicked six goals and 16 behinds going into the final term, there was a chance their wastefulness could cost them. In the final quarter, Red Hill held strong and put on an inspiring performance. Defender Jonah Siverson played a manic final term, winning every contest and ensuring that the Tigers remained scoreless in the final term.

Siverson’s stunning last quarter heroics helped his Red Hill side to their most famous victory in 28 years, as they advanced to the Division Two Grand Final with a 6.9 (45) to 7.17 (59) win. Red Hill coach Jamie Mollo said that he was “rapt” that his side would be breaking their long drought without a grand final appearance. “We knew we had to provide four quarter effort, which was really important to us on the day. We’re really exciting we’re into a Grand Final, we haven’t been in one for a long time. The boys are rapt but we’ve still got a job to do, so we’ll keep a lid on it for now,” he said. Red Hill will enjoy a week off, although Mollo has already started thinking ahead about how to win the Grand Final. “We’ll need to emulate what we did today. They’re a ripper side and if we can do that throughout the period of the game we can get the win as well, but we’re just really excited to be there,” he said. The loss was Dromana’s second for the year, having previously lost to Red Hill in round nine. They are not out of contention yet though, they will play the winner of Karingal v Langwarrin in a Preliminary Final next week. That match will be at Somerville Recreation Reserve on Saturday.

Stonecats survive scare DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn FRANKSTON YCW have sent Edithvale-Aspendale crashing out of the Division One finals with a hard fought come from behind victory. The game got off to a tense start, with both sides trading blows in an incredibly tight first half. The Stonecats held a three point lead going into the half time break. In the third term, the Eagles blew the game apart with a five goals to one quarter putting Frankston YCW on the ropes with a quarter left to play. Although they looked down and out going into the final term, the Stonecats fought back with everything they had, and snatched back the lead late in the game to keep their premiership hopes alive. It certainly wasn’t an easy task, but Frankston YCW overcame their 20 point deficit to claim an 11.8 (74) to 11.16 (82) win. Frankston YCW will continue to have to do it the hard way, and will face the loser of the Mt Eliza v Pines match at Chelsea Reserve next week. Although there is no margin for error for the Stonecats, the side that won seven of the last eight Nepean division premierships showed they can never be counted out. Paul Minchington put on a stunning performance for the Stonecats, booting five majors to win the game for his side in a best on ground performance. Christian Ongarello also performed admirably, while Macklin Raine gave his midfielders first use of the ball all day. The result is a tough one to swallow for Edi-Asp, who were in 2nd place only a few weeks ago before injuries hit.

Western Port News 28 August 2018

By Brodie Cowburn MORNINGTON have advanced to the SEWF Division One preliminary final with a gritty over Cranbourne at Holm Park Reserve. The Bulldogs got off to a strong start in the first term and held their opponents to just one behind, before the Eagles fought back to bring themselves within two points of the lead at half time. From that point on, the game opened up for the Bulldogs, as they held the Eagles scoreless in the third quarter and established an unassailable lead. Cranbourne could only manage four behind in the second half, as they fell to Mornington 1.6 (12) to 3.7 (25). Goalscorers Elizabeth Muir and Jacqueline Vogt were among the best for Mornington, while Vicki Sanford also performed well. Mornington’s win will see them play off in the preliminary final against Seaford, who are aiming to take advantage of their double chance following their loss to Eastern Devils. It was a dream game for the Tigers up until three-quarter time, as the held Eastern Devils to just two behinds going into the final term. Unfortunately for Seaford, the Devils would storm back to snatch back the lead in the final quarter and claim a spot in the Grand Final. Seaford couldn’t manage a single score in the final term, as Eastern Devils got the better of them 4.5 (29) to 2.6 (18). In Division Two, Seaford’s twos were put to the sword by a dominant Bass Coast outfit.

Bass Coast have been by far and away the best side of the Division Two competition, and they showed their class with a thumping 57 point win. Seaford could only contribute a measly two behinds to the scoreboard, as they were beaten 8.11 (59) to 0.2 (2). They will play off in the Preliminary Final against Tyabb, who bested Eastern Devils in a tense clash. The Yabbies got off to a dominant start, but couldn’t punish the Devils on the scoreboard. By the quarter time break they had kicked just one goal to go with their seven behinds. Although they remained inconsistent in front of goal, they were just able to hold on to claim a 3.1 919) to 3.10 (28) win. Kylie Vigliarolo was the difference for the Yabbies, booting a major in a best on ground performance. In Division Three, Hasting have advanced to the grand final with a comfortable 7.3 (45) to 2.2 (14) win over Frankston Bombers. Kathryne Syer proved the difference, with her three goal haul helping her side to a spot in the premiership decider. Frankston Bombers were saved by the double chance, and will now play in a preliminary final. They will face Pearcedale, who earned their place with a win over Mornington. The Bulldogs’ third division side endured a difficult start to the game, and were held scoreless in the first half. They could not recover from their first half lethargy, and eventually fell to Pearcedale 2.0 (12) to 2.9 (21).

It’s Miller time at Langwarrin SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN stunned Victorian soccer circles last week when it named former Socceroos assistant Scott Miller as its new head coach for the 2019 NPL2 season. The video announcement on social media attracted more than 8000 views and the Herald-Sun reported the appointment online. The former Fulham assistant and Newcastle Jets head coach returned from Denmark last year where he worked as an assistant coach at Aalborg BK. Miller, 36, is one of the highest credentialled coaches in Australian soccer and is contracted to Fox Sports as a football analyst. He holds an AFC Pro Diploma and a UEFA A Licence as well as tertiary degrees in sports science and sports psychology. “Langwarrin has given me the opportunity to build a football club,” Miller said. “Being a head coach isn’t just about the first team it’s about instilling player and coaching development as well. “I’m a young coach and I’m still developing and I’m really excited at this opportunity particularly at this football club but also the opportunity this provides me to get back into football in Australia and to support the game.” Miller played for Langwarrin as a junior and his father, Doug, is a former senior player. Miller was present as Langy crashed 4-0 on Saturday away to Eastern Lions and he watched the match with current Peninsula Strikers coach Jamie Skelly who is understood to be a candidate for the role of Miller’s assistant. Miller has a tough call to make given that the club is keen to promote from within and current under-20s coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor also is a candidate. Alistair Wallace is expected to fill the role of high performance manager. And while Langy stole the spotlight Mornington was replacing Dale White as head coach with former star striker Nick Waite for the last three games of the season. It was an acrimonious split after White learned a fortnight back that he wouldn’t be appointed for 2019. After consulting senior players the club decided last week that White’s position had become untenable and the decision was taken to replace him. Mornington won 1-0 at home last weekend against Caulfield United Cobras to move into third spot in State 1

South-East. A stunning 30-metre free kick from Andre Bennett in the 34th minute rocketed over the head of the Caulfield keeper and into the top near corner. In NPLW news Southern United is set to benefit from use of a new multipurpose facility officially opened recently at Carrum Downs Reserve. The project has been jointly funded by Frankston City Council ($2.7 million), the Victorian Government ($1.05 million), a Melbourne Waters Living Rivers Grant ($55,000) and the Carrum Downs Junior Football Club ($50,000). Southern United has pledged to contribute $50,000 (over seven years) following the completion of a synthetic sports field with construction due to start later this year. The synthetic pitch will be the first of its kind in the Frankston Council area. Southern’s senior side was at home to Geelong Galaxy United as we went to print on Sunday. Earlier that day the under-12s won 7-0 with goals from Lauren Riha (2), Emilia Ingles (2), Rhiannon Kelleher (2) and Eden McKeown. The under-14s drew 0-0 and blew a chance to wrap up the title as secondplaced Calder United drew 2-2 with Bulleen. That leaves the Southern youngsters with a five-point lead with just two

games to go. The under-16s lost 2-1 with Oakley Sunkel-Lozell scoring for Southern. In State 2 South-East news Peninsula Strikers continued to win their fight against relegation when they won 2-0 away to Doncaster Rovers last Friday night. The visitors dominated for long periods and goals from Nathan Smith in the 56th minute and John Prescott nine minutes later enabled Strikers to move two points clear of the drop zone. A win against Heatherton United at Centenary Park next weekend will secure the club’s State 2 status. Meanwhile Skye United blew a chance to snatch second spot in State 3 South-East when it lost 3-1 at home to Whitehorse United on Saturday. Monbulk’s 2-2 draw with Bayside Argonauts on Friday night had opened the promotion door for Skye but the home side was disappointing against an opponent in the bottom half of the table. Substandard defending and the lack of a cutting edge proved Skye’s undoing as Whitehorse ran out a 3-1 winner. In the 9th minute Nhan Than took advantage of Skye’s defensive hesitancy to put Whitehorse 1-0 up from point-blank range. Skye should have been awarded a penalty in the 25th minute after striker Caleb Nicholes was tripped by White-

horse defender Liam Coulter but play was waved on. Two minutes later a goalmouth scramble saw the ball fall to Nicholes whose close-range shot was blocked and the ball was eventually cleared. In the 53rd minute Skye’s defence was in disarray again and the benefactor was Josh Gordon who slotted the ball past Crook to make it 2-0. Whitehorse keeper Michael Van Eijk lost sight of Daniel Walsh’s longrange strike in the 65th minute merely flapping at the ball as it went in over his head and suddenly it was game on. But Jet Fisher dented Skye’s promotion hopes when he capitalised on an excellent break down the left by Anthony Fulfarro in the 86th minute. Fulfarro’s shot struck the bar and Skye failed to clear allowing Fisher to score from close range. A Philip Ball tap-in right on halftime was enough for South Yarra to overcome visitor Seaford United 1-0 on Saturday and condemn Matty Morris-Thomas’s men to a bottom two finish in State 3 South-East. With two games left the best Seaford can hope for is to finish second last and avoid the drop due to the knockon effect of the withdrawal from competition of Morwell Pegasus in State 1 South-East. In State 4 South news Baxter was hoping that its fight against relegation would receive a boost as FFV was

expected to uphold the club’s protest against the previous week’s 2-2 home draw with Dandenong Warriors. Langwarrin under-20s player Tuach Ter played for Warriors wearing the number 21 strip and was listed as Thor Kong on the official teamsheet. Members of Langy’s coaching staff were at the match and identified Ter and Langwarrin notified FFV last week of the youngster’s indiscretion. FFV is expected to record a 3-0 result in favour of Baxter and is considering charges against the player and Dandenong Warriors. On Saturday Baxter drew 1-1 at home against Keysborough with the visitors equalising in the 94th minute. Baxter led in the 67th minute thanks to a low shot from Mark Pagliarulo from the edge of the area following a Ben Meiklem cross but a Dan Disseldorp handball late in injury time allowed Nathan Calle to level from the ensuing free-kick. In State 5 South news Somerville Eagles thrashed Bunyip District 7-0 at Tybabb Central Recreation Reserve on Saturday with hat-tricks to Louis Griffiths and Somerville player-coach Dave Greening and a first senior goal for Matt Curd. With two games to go just two points separates the top five sides and the race for promotion seems certain to go down to the wire. Greening is trying to win his ninth straight league Golden Boot award and is now three goals ahead of Rowville Eagles’ ace Daniel Grigoruta. Aspendale lost 2-0 to Lyndale United in Saturday’s State 5 South fixture at Jack Grut Reserve with James Collard sealing the home side’s fate with goals in the 3rd and 9th minutes. Aspendale’s Pat Diakogeorgiou and Lyndale substitute Marko Matosevic were sent off in the 85th minute and Aspendale best were Sam TimuskaCarr, Pal Calvino and Matt Corra.

Clay shooter sets sights on world championships COMMONWEALTH Games gold medallist, Laetisha Scanlan, is preparing for the mixed and women’s trap competitions at the ISSF World Championships in South Korea. The Frankston Australia Clay Target Club member is coming off the back of receiving a silver medal at the ‘Sydney Cup 2’ in the women’s trap competition on Sunday 19 August and has quickly followed it up with an intense training camp in preparation for the World Championships. Scanlan will be the sole representa-

Golfing girls get set for nationals ROSEBUD Country Club junior golfers Molly McLean and Gracie Larsen have braved the “horrible” wintry conditions on Sunday 19 August to qualify for the National Championships in November. Molly (Rye Primary School) and Gracie (Balcombe Grammar) pushed through the rain, hail and wind to finish first and third, respectively, in the under-12s School Sport Victoria qualifiers at the Sandhurst Golf Club. For their exceptional performance the up-and-coming golfers will join the under-12s Victorian team which will compete at the National Championships on the Bellarine Peninsula from the 12-15 November, with Molly also captaining the four-girl team. It will be Molly’s second time competing with the Victorian side, while it will be Gracie’s first time playing in the state team after being first reserve last year. Gracie’s father, Tom Larsen, said making the Victorian side was a massive bonus for the girls but he was even more proud of their efforts to compete in the “unbelievable” conditions. “It was not an ideal scoring situation, but all of the kids did awesome to just be out there,” Tom said. “She still had her cheeky grin over her face for the day, and that’s just what you want, for them to enjoy themselves.” Molly’s father, Craig McLean,

tive from the clay target club competing at the World Championships on Friday 31 August, and has spent the past week at Cecil Park, Sydney preparing for the event alongside 21 other Australian squad members. Fellow Frankston Australia Clay Target Club shooters, James Bolding and Keith Ferguson, also competed at the Sydney Cup 2, and landed silver and bronze medals, respectively, in the men’s skeet event. Frankston Australia Clay Target Club secretary Jane Vella said that it’s

not out of the ordinary to see the three members competing, and succeeding at such a high level. “They’re three of our top competitors at the club and they’re always competing well in those types of events,” she said. Bolding and Ferguson will now prepare for the Australian National Championships in January next year which will kick off the selection process for next year’s international circuit.

shared the same view. “[Molly] knew it was always going to be pretty tough, but it was just one of those days where you just try your best and hope to stay out of trouble,” he said. “She was laughing for the majority of it and was saying that it ‘couldn’t get much worse’.” The girls train and play together at the Rosebud Country Club but are also part of the Golf Peninsula Vic squad which train seven to eight times each year. Tom said that all of this practice and their passion to play golf has helped them improve out of sight. “Between this year and last year, they’ve come in about five or six shots on their handicap which is pretty great considering they’re still in the under-12s,” he said. “I know I’m a bit biased being her father, but she’s a very talented kid and I think they’ve got a really good chance at nationals. “[Gracie] has happily made it this year and can’t wait to play. It’ll definitely put a spring in her step.” Molly and Gracie will also be competing in the Victorian State Championships at Moonah Links on Monday 24 September to Thursday 27 September before heading to the nationals. “They’ll both play in that and it’ll be a good prep before they head to the nationals,” Craig said.

Mornington Cup victor eyes off spring MORNINGTON Cup winner, Kings Will Dream, has come back in terrific fashion with a fast-finishing fourth in the Group Two P. B. Lawrence Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday 18 August. The dominant five-length winner of the Mornington Cup in March this year, has already secured his place in the Group One Caulfield Cup (2400m), and continues to firm as the early favourite for the $5 million contest following his barnstorming finish on Saturday. The Darren Weir-trained galloper sat at the rear of the field in the P.B. Lawrence Stakes before rattling off the fastest closing sectionals of the race, running his last 400m in 22.83 seconds and his last 200m in 11.72 seconds.

PAGE 34

Prior to the meeting, Weir said he wasn’t sure how he would go with winners on the day but was using the day as a starting point for the spring. “I’m not sure how I’ll go in terms of winners, but it’s more of a kick-off day for my runners for races down the track,” he said. “I’m looking for encouraging signs for the future.” While it was the imported galloper’s first defeat in six Australian starts, Weir said his run was exactly what he wanted to see. “He ran home well. I thought he was good, and that’s what I was hoping for,” he said. Kings Will Dream’s jockey John Allen was just as impressed with the performance. “He probably couldn’t have gone much better and if I had something

to give me a cart into the race he probably goes close (to winning) but given that, he probably just knocked up the last 100m.” Having already secured his spot in the Caulfield Cup by gaining exemption from the ballot for his Mornington Cup victory, Kings Will Dream will stick to weight-for-age races in the build up to the Group One, to try and avoid gaining weight penalties. It’s estimated that Kings Will Dream will be handicapped at just 51kg for the Caulfield Cup, and will follow a path that includes the Memsie Stakes (1400m), Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m), and the Underwood (1800m) or the Turnbull Stakes (2000m), before heading fifth-up into the Caulfield Cup.

Sharks nail one-point victory, Gulls soar into grand final BASKETBALL

By Ben Triandafillou THE Chelsea Gulls division one men’s side and the Southern Peninsula Sharks state championship women’s side have made their way through to the Big V grand finals which kick off on Saturday 25 August. The Chelsea Gulls scored a determined 2-1 semi-final victory over the Western Port Steelers after suffering their first loss in their last 16 games to the Steelers in the second match of the best-of-three series. The Gulls claimed the opening semi-final game by 10 points (94104), before the Steelers pulled back the second match to win by 20 points (83-103) away from home. The Gulls were quick to make amends the following day and scored the final win by 21 points (92-71). Chelsea Gulls head coach Peter Caspersz said the side’s second game was a “shemozzle” but was glad to see them turn it all around on the Sunday. “We played really badly, and the Steelers played a great game,” Caspersz said, of the Saturday matchup. “We struggled to get the energy that we’ve had throughout the season, but thankfully we turned it around the next day and had that energy back. “They (Chelsea) played with a lot of determination and a will to win, and played with a lot of vigour and aggression which was great see again.” Caspersz believes the loss in the second game was something that the

Gulls probably needed. “We were lazy, played a little bit selfish, and were probably thinking that we were unbeatable, so it was probably the wakeup call that we needed,” he said. “I thought Western Port was sensational, and they truly deserved their spot being in the finals.” The Gulls will now face the Shep-

parton Gators on Saturday 25 August away from home in a best-of-three grand-final series. The sides have faced each other twice throughout the normal fixture with the Gators winning by six points (69-75) in round seven and the Gulls claiming the victory by eight points (83-91) in round 12. In the state championship women’s

division, the Southern Peninsula Sharks scored a narrow one-point victory over the Knox Raiders in the preliminary final to make their way through to the grand-final series. The Sharks, who finished in fifth position at the end of the normal fixture, have gone on a winning streak to claim their last three elimination games.

The Sharks were trailing Knox by as much as 14 points at one point in the preliminary final before making a late surge in the dying minutes of the game. Paige Price nailed a critical three-point shot in the final 15 seconds of the game to take the lead, with a strong Sharks defence holding Knox at bay in the dying seconds of the game to claim the win, 59-60. Southern Peninsula Sharks basketball operations manager Lucas Allen said the Sharks got the lead when it mattered, in what was a “grind of a game”. “It was a bit of a dog fight and was a tough game the whole way through,” Allen said. “The crowd’s excitement after the game was easily matched by the girls, and now they’ve made it through to the grand final series. “The girls have been riding the momentum for sure and have been on a great run. They have won all their elimination games on the road against some pretty formidable teams. “Hume, they had never beaten. The Falcons have three or four girls with national experience in their side and that’s the same with Knox. “Having beaten the calibre of teams they’ve come up against certainly gives them a bit of confidence [heading into the grand final], but they’ll come out and let their game play out on the night.” The Sharks will face the Sunbury Jets in a best-of-three grand-final series which kicks off at the Sharks’ home court, before moving to the Jets’ home ground for the final two games, if required.

Waves continue ride through finals NETBALL

By Ben Triandafillou THE Peninsula Waves’ under-19s side is making the most of their late dive into finals and have claimed the minor semi-final over the reigning premiers, Geelong Cougars, on Wednesday 22 August. It’s the first time in over a decade that the Peninsula Waves have qualified for the finals series and they have snapped at the opportunity with two determined back-to-back victories in the last two weeks. The Waves, who were sitting in fifth position coming into the final round of the Victorian Netball League season, clawed their way back into the top four with a convincing win over Melbourne University Lightning (55-47) on Wednesday 15 August. The Waves then continued that winning momentum into the minor semifinal and scored another determined victory over the Geelong Cougars (48-53) at the State Netball and Hockey Centre last Wednesday night. The match between the Cougars and Waves was a nail biter for spectators, and despite trailing by eight goals on one occasion, the Waves were able to fight back and gain a slight advantage heading into the final quarter of the game. In the final five minutes, the Cougars made their way back within two goals of the Waves, with a slip out of court giving the Cougars possession of the ball off the Waves’ centre pass and providing them with the opportunity to level the score. However, a crucial interception from Waves’ goal attack, Georgia Hernan, allowed the Waves to turn the game back around and secure an extra three goals in the dying seconds

of the game. Hernan, who is also captain of her team, said that the match was “one of the best games we’ve ever played”. As such, Hernan asserted that her team is “really confident going into

Sunday because we did so well under pressure tonight”. Geelong concluded their time in the finals series and won’t be able to continue their chance of achieving backto-back premierships this season.

The Waves are hoping to keep their streak alive when they face DC North East Blaze in the preliminary finals on Sunday 26 August at the State Netball and Hockey Centre.
