Shire honours for top citizens KAREN Fankhauser has been named Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 2018 Citizen of the Year.

The shire’s Young Citizen of the Year is Matthew Mayne.

The Australia Day winners were presented with their awards at a ceremony on Friday at Rosebud Memorial Hall.

Ms Fankhauser was born with

muscular dystrophy and started using a wheelchair four years ago. She grew up in Main Ridge but now leads an active and independent life in McCrae.

She is an inclusion advocate, qualified tax accountant, and vicechairperson of the shire’s All Abilities Consultative Committee (AACC).

As part of her AACC role, Ms Fankhauser is involved in advocacy

for Changing Places facilities at Arthurs Seat and at Mornington, the Mt Martha beach access project, and the AACC’s submission and presentation to the federal government on the National Disability Strategy.

She also makes regular submissions on shire policies, strategies and developments, including the Rosebud pool.

She is involved in the development

of the shire’s Disability Action Plan (2018-22), and advocated for universal design in community buildings and houses. She is also working on an education campaign to help peninsula businesses and community groups better understand why access and inclusion “is everyone’s business”.

Matthew Mayne, 17, is active in the sporting community and a volun-

teer with Mornington RSL. He has achieved numerous sporting “goals” including last year raising almost $12,000 for the EJ Whitten Foundation for cutting his “famous” mullet.

He promoted his campaign extensively and appeared in the media on several occasions to raise awareness and funds for men’s health.

Driver airlifted to hospital after crash

A VAN skidded and ended up on its side on O’Neils Rd, Tyabb, 1am, Wednesday 24 January. It is not known what caused the incident. The driver was airlifted from the Peninsula Aero Club’s new heli-pad. The road ambulance had easy access to the helicopter on the road into the airfield.

THE Habitat Restoration Fund will receive $6600 to help eradicate woody weeds in Red Hill South’s remnant forests this year.

The grant is among a $250,000 program of community environmental projects in the Port Phillip and Western Port region.

The grants were announced just before Christmas.

The Western Port Swamp Landcare group will receive $8680 for its Cardinia Creeks Nature Link Plan and the Safety Beach Foreshore Landscape Committee $6046 for habitat rehabilitation work on the Safety Beach foreshore.

Up to 15 community organisations will receive a share of $250,000 from the National Landcare Program for environmental projects in the Port Phillip and Western Port regions.

The funding comes from the federal government’s National Landcare Program and through this year’s Port Phillip and Westernport CMA’s Community Grants Program for projects that protect, restore or enhance priority landscapes.

“Community groups and landholders are at the foundation of our work to help local environments, such as nature reserves, creeks, private properties and farms,” Port Phillip and Westernport CMA’s CEO David Buntine said.

“These grants support groups to be part of the bigger picture by identifying how their project contributes to regional and national environmental priorities and by taking direct action to protect and enhance these areas.

“The Port Phillip and Westernport CMA looks forward to the implementation of these projects and the contribution they will make to environmental values that benefit the whole community.”

All projects will be completed by July.

Public to meet over The Pillars Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au AUTHORITIES are still struggling to find ways of reducing anti-social behaviour at what has become a major tourist attraction – The Pillars, off the Esplanade between Mt Martha and Safety Beach.

The rocky outcrops which provide ideal jumping off platforms into the water are a magnet for visitors but cause problems for nearby residents.

Located between Deakin Drive and Marguerita Av, there is little parking nearby and the many people wanting to enjoy themselves at The Pillars can only do so by walking along alongside a narrow busy road and then scrambling across a precarious clifftop.

Other rock jumpers come by boat or jet-ski, usually launched at Safety Beach.

Mornington Peninsula Shire has launched its own program to improve road safety and defuse the situation by collecting rubbish, tightening and enforcing parking restrictions and banning alcohol. Unavoidably, the alcohol bans also apply to residents of nearby streets.

While the state government has thwarted the shire’s plan to fence off land access to The Pillars, it has agreed to later this year “evaluate the effectiveness of the measures put in place”.

Meanwhile, the shire has organised a meeting on Wednesday (31 January) to discuss issues surrounding The Pillars with residents, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning “and other key agencies”.

“Council continues to work hard to protect the safety of people and the amenity of our residents. We look forward to meeting with the community to hear your concerns and to discuss the management of issues relating to this site,” the mayor Cr Bryan Payne said.

Cr Payne, when asked if the shire had any

plans for safety fencing or a viewing platform above The Pillars, said a long-term management plan was being developed.

“As part of the development of the plan, a number of options including feasibility and cost will be explored to address the issues associated with people using the site,” Cr Payne said.

Cr Rosie Clark said the “project has been shaped by the community voicing their concerns about inappropriate behaviour at The Pillars. We look forward to continuing our efforts with the community and relevant stakeholders to push for the area to be made safer and more respected”.

As well as providing “data” collected over

summer period to the state government a report will be presented to council in May. Issues of concern about The Pillars can be made at mornpen.vic.gov.au/thepillars. The public meeting starts at 5.30pm tomorrow, Wednesday at the Mornington Peninsula Shire offices in Queen St, Mornington.

Hail to the king

In the Tyabb district the rainbow lorikeet is almost in plague proportions, particularly when the fruit trees are laden. There are plenty of eastern rosellas, and the slightly larger and even more beautiful crimson rosella is not uncommon. Furthermore, there are considerable numbers of white cockatoos,galahs and corellas, while the graceful black cockatoo has appeared in recent times. But what of the majestic king parrot? Half as big again as the eastern rosella, it is generally found in more densely forested areas such as the high country and parts of Gippsland. However this year a pair have made their home in a patch of bushland near the Tyabb reservoir, emerging occasionally to keep an eye on the forthcoming apple crop.

Keep water safety ‘front of mind’: lifesaver HOT weather over the holidays has prompted Life Saving Victoria to urge beachgoers to keep water safety “front of mind” at beaches and in pools.

“It’s important people realise just how dangerous all waterways can be, even in calm conditions,” lifesaving operations manager Greg Scott said.

“Whether you plan to cool down with a swim, paddle or surf, make sure you’re with a friend.”

Mr Scott said water users should “be prepared before heading to the water, and to read and obey safety signs when they get there”.

“It’s also important drink plenty of water and keep an eye on those most at risk in the heat,” he said.

“Rips are the No. 1 hazard for swimmers, with more people drowning in rips than dying from shark attacks, cyclones and floods combined.”

His warning comes as Lifesaving Victoria reports that 29 people have drowned in Victoria from 1 July last year to 20 January this year. This is seven more than the five-year average (2012-17). Of the drownings, 15 were at the beach, 11 inland and three other.

So far this summer there have been 18 drowning deaths in Victoria – 11 more than the five-year average (201217). “This is the highest number we have seen since detailed records began in 2000,” a spokeswoman said.

Twelve were at the beach, five inland and one other.

Mr Scott said most beach-goers

could not identify a rip current and two thirds of those who think they can, can’t.

“Learning how to identify and avoid a rip current is essential for beachgoers,” he said. “Rivers and bayside beaches can also have strong currents which have been prevalent and active this season. Also, it’s important to recognise that beach conditions can change from day to day – even in a matter of hours.”

Swimmers caught in a rip current should stay calm, conserve their energy and either wave an arm and call out for help. They should float with the current – hopefully back to a sandbank – or swim parallel to the beach to escape the rip. Then they should reassess their situation: if what they are doing isn’t working, they should try another option until they return to shore.

Stay calm and remember that it is possible to escape from any rip by using the right tactics, Mr Scott said.

With another week of the school holidays, parents and carers are advised to actively supervise children around water. “It only takes 20 seconds for a child to drown,” Mr Scott said.

Kayakers and paddlers should think twice about paddling alone and always wear a lifejacket.

“When paddling, make sure you have the ability to raise an alarm.

Know your own capability and always tell someone of your plans,” Mr Scott said.

To find out patrolled locations download the beachsafe app or visit beachsafe.org.au Multilingual resources can also be found at beachsafe.org.au/surf-safety/ multilingual which has guides on how to enjoy the beach safely.

The Vic Emergency App has waterway warnings at emergency.vic. gov.au and up-to-date conditions and warnings can be found at the Bureau of Meteorology app or bom.gov.au

Signs show the way on rips WITH the number of drownings so far this summer at a 10-year high, lifesavers at Gunnamatta beach are seeking to engage with beach-goers to educate them about rips and water safety.

The club, with the help of Progress Signs Mornington, has put together this sign to encourage people to learn and interact with lifesavers.

“If you’re heading to the beach, remember that rips are the number one beach hazard for swimmers,” Life Saving Victoria’s operations manager Greg Scott said.

“Each year more people drown in rips than die from shark attacks, cyclones and floods combined.”

Lib leader brings poll STATE Opposition Leader Matthew Guy was in Frankston last week bearing gifts in the form of election promises ranging from extending train services to building bridges to ease traffic congestion and reviving expansion of the Port of Hastings.

Mr Guy made an election pitch tailored to a Frankston audience when he addressed a Committee for Greater Frankston lunch at McClelland Gallery. (Premier Daniel Andrews will address the committee at a public event in May.) The Liberal leader said electrification of the rail line from Frankston to Langwarrin and on to Baxter was one of two major rail extension projects in the state (the other being Melton).

“The [Frankston] line does need extending,” he said, “and we will be making formal comments [about it] in the months ahead.”

C4GF chief executive Ginevra Hosking said extending the line would benefit two of the region’s most car-dependent suburbs, Karingal and Langwarrin, and connect 37,000 residents including 19,000 who commute to work. Mornington Peninsula residents would be able to drive to Langwarrin, leave their cars at a new car park, and access the metro rail network.

Mr Guy said the Coalition’s $5.3 billion plan to build road bridges at more than 50 congested intersections in metro Melbourne included Frankston’s Cranbourne Road–Moorooduc Highway intersection, site of 53 crashes in recent years.

A Coalition government would put expansion of the Port of Hastings back on the agenda to create “jobs in this region”.

Mr Guy said he supported the proposed $250 million expansion of Frankston Hospital and its research partnership with Monash University.

“We will say more after completion of the feasibility study.”

He said a Coalition government would consider moving government department jobs to outlying suburbs such as Frankston and Ringwood, adding to existing plans to move jobs to Victorian regions.

He reiterated proposals to extend jail terms for violent criminals who breached bail or parole; rejected safe

IF you’re unhappy with decisions made by the state planning minister, try to get him sacked through the ballot box. At least that’s the thinking of Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor David Gill.

Cr Gill has outlined a plan to seek public funding for an assault on Planning Minister Richard Wynne’s seat of Richmond at the November state election.

“I’m not too familiar with crowdfunding, but I’ll find someone who knows the technical parts of setting up an online way of raising money to make sure he’s not re-elected,” Cr Gill told The News.

He said trying to influence the outcome of elections on the peninsula was pointless as all three seats – Nepean (Martin Dixon – who is retiring at the next election), Mornington (David Morris) and Hastings (Neale Burgess) – are firmly held by Liberals, and most likely to stay that way.

Attacking the seat held by the Labor government’s planning minister would be a far more effective lobbying tool.

Cr Gill stresses that he is acting as a private

citizen and not a councillor, although the shire has also voiced dissatisfaction at the planning minister’s decisions, mainly to do with building heights and densities and changes to green wedge planning provisions.

Emails from the shire carry the following: Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is very concerned about recent state government changes that may drastically affect the peninsula.

For more information, please visit our website at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au or find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/mornpenshire.

“There’s the ability on the peninsula [of people] to fund something like this,” Cr Gill said.

“We need to show the government it can’t take safe seats for granted and there’s enough time before the November election to get something started. ”I won’t be asking the shire to join in, although it’s already advocating against what [Mr Wynne is] doing.

“I think Richmond is likely to fall to the Greens anyway.”

Cr Gill said $200 million promised to Frankston in recent elections “shows the advantages of living in a marginal electorate”.

Frankston is held for the Labor Party by Paul Edbrooke with a less than one per cent margin.

Lobster protest: Union members endured stifling 40-degree heat beside McClelland Drive outside McClelland Gallery, Langwarrin on Friday 19 January to make a silent protest during a lunch at the gallery’s cafe where Opposition Leader Matthew Guy was guest speaker. The protesters erected a large inflatable lobster with a sign reading “Matthew Guy tough on crime”. The word “crime” was crossed out and underneath was the word “lobsters!”. The sign referred to Mr Guy attending a dinner last year at the Lobster Cave restaurant in Beaumaris with the alleged head of Melbourne’s mafia, Tony Madafferi, a wealthy market gardener and owner of La Porchetta pizza chain, and three of his relatives.

to include it in the Metropolitan Planning Zone “thus forcing city planning regulations onto the local planning scheme in a policy decision to increase population density”.

“Governments should be listening to the views of local people, not just the top end of town,” Cr Gill said.

“In the past we accepted too readily the idea of changing our natural environment. Now that we understand the damage that can be done we have a chance to make every decision count. We should allow sensitive developments and question the short-term expediency of other developments.”

Cr Gill said Mornington Peninsula Shire “opposes much of the damaging changes being made by Mr Wynne”, had its own housing and settlement strategy and “is attempting to get rid of planning scheme loopholes that are currently allowing over-development on the peninsula”.

“Council has also started a green wedge management plan that will hopefully - if approved

by Mr Wynne - ensure the present 70 per cent to 30 per cent balance of rural to residential land on the peninsula is kept in a meaningful way.

“Those that come to the peninsula [to live] should not bring suburbia with them or expect us to change the peninsula for them.”

margins on a two-party preferred basis of 25 per cent for David Morris, and more than 15 per cent each for Mr Burgess and Mr Dixon.

“We don’t get any commitments like Frankston because the peninsula is comprised of three safe Liberal seats so we need to find other ways.

“When we meet with politicians their first question is ‘what have you got that’s shovel ready?’ They’re very blatant. The younger ones especially are clever, they’re like kids in a lolly shop.

“Because we’re in a safe seat we need to do something about this and look outside the square.”

Cr Gill first raised his idea for pressuring the government through Mr Wynne at a meeting of Western Port and Peninsula Protection Council on Sunday 13 January saying that he believed Mr Wynne was “interfering with proper and orderly planning policy and long-term planning principles without public consultation under the guise of fixing short term problems”.

“With this attitude developers will be allowed to continue to exploit loopholes that allow inappropriate developments on the peninsula,” Cr Gill said.

The “present and future dangers” to the peninsula followed the government’s decision

New beach access coming soon to Pt Leo ORGANISERS hope accessing the beach at Point Leo will be made easier for the next event being held by the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula.

Plans have been approved for a boardwalk providing wheelchair access from Point Leo Lifesaving Club.

DSAMP secretary Bill Hallett hoped

the boardwalk would be finished in time for the association’s next surf day, Saturday 3 March “but certainly before the end of March”.

When completed, the boardwalk will have a 1.2 metre wide wheelchair ramp leading to the beach from a six metre by six metre viewing platform. Two metre wide steps will also

provide access to the beach from the platform designed to provide lifesavers with views along the beach.

Mr Hallet said the boardwalk will follow the southern sand dune to the beach “making for greater access for all our events and the general public throughout the year”.

Club will have the best viewing platform to work from while on patrol.”

The project has been put together by DSAMP, Point Leo Foreshore Committee and the lifesaving club.

The DSAMP surf day on Saturday 13 January saw 60 surfers take to the water with the help of 282 volunteers.

DSAMP president Jenny Anglis-

Goodall said the event was “fantastic” with “a few new ideas” contributing “really well to the event”.

“DSAMP event days help bring the community together, improving understanding and joyfully recognising people who just happen to have a disability,” Ms Anglis-Goodall said.

Little athletes seek new members

Road safety in Dromana, Hastings and Rosebud Mornington Peninsula Shire invites the community to ‘have your say’ on road safety issues in your local area. This will help develop the Safer Residential Areas Project.

The Safer Residential Areas Project, as part of the Shire’s Toward Zero Municipality initiative, strives to improve safety on local streets for all road users with a focus on the young and elderly.

Shire-wide analysis has highlighted the residential areas of Hastings, Dromana and Rosebud as having the highest number of casualty crashes in the Shire.

Based on the crash locations and safety concerns from residents and stakeholders, suitable road safety improvements will be proposed.

LITTLE athletes in the family are welcome to join Westernport Little Athletics Club.

The club started in 1981 with around 50 athletes competing on the Hastings foreshore but numbers soon swelled to 180.

In 1996 it moved to Western Port Secondary College, holding track and field events each Saturday morning from October to March with a three-week break over Christmas.

Committee member Karen Tilley said membership was now at its lowest for some years.

“We have a small committee with a president working tirelessly establishing grants for new infrastructure,” she said. “He is dedicated with the running and building of the club, constantly trying to improve its potential for the athletes.

“As records show the club has a past history of strong recorded performances across all lev-

els of competition. It would be great to see this grow into the future.”

Ms Tilley said the friendly, relaxed club “enjoys a great natural setting for our athletes” who come from Hastings, Crib Point, Stony Point, Bittern, Somers, Tyabb, Somerville and Baxter.

“Athletics is a great way for families to meet,” she said.

“Friendships are established and children find strengths in their sporting abilities – skills they may not know they possess. You don’t have to be a fast runner to do little athletics; there are field events, too, that children may find they are good at.”

Shire honours for top citizens Continued from Page 1 The Community Event of the Year award was awarded to the 125th anniversary commemoration of the Mornington Football Club disaster of 1892.

Mornington Football Club, Victoria Police and the Mornington and District Historical Society collaborated to organise the service. About 200 people attended and it received national media coverage.

A Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to William (Bill) Goodrem who has lived at Rye for 50 years. He spends most of his time working with various community groups, including Rotary, Lions, Knights of the Southern Cross, Habitat for Humanity, Rye Action Group, Meals on Wheels, St Vincent De Paul, school groups and sporting clubs. He served as a shire councillor for 25 years and was also mayor.

An Acknowledgement of Excellence Award was presented to the Dolphin Research Insti-

tute’s executive director Jeff Weir. The institute celebrated its 25th anniversary of operation under Mr Weir’s guidance. Based in Hastings, the DRI contributes to marine ecological protection in both Port Phillip and Western Port bays. It has conducted marine education programs for more than 100,000 children and adults, developed a state-wide marine ambassador program called ‘I sea, I care’ and developed education programs on storm water pollution, coastal protection, waste management and marine biodiversity conservation.

The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the Australia Day Awards “inspire people to make their own contribution to creating a better Mornington Peninsula”.

“On behalf of my fellow councillors and the communities of the Mornington Peninsula, I would like to congratulate and thank all winners and nominees for their commitment to our community,” Cr Payne said.

Point plan to end ‘squabbling’ Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire sees the latest master plan for the 512-hectare Point Nepean National Park as providing “a strong basis” for the park’s future use and management.

The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the shire was “delighted” to see some of the shire’s suggestions in the final plan.

“The advisory group [suggested by the shire] will comprise a mix of technical experts, local interest groups, and stakeholders, and is intended to provide technical expertise and advice to Parks Victoria to assist with implementation of the master plan,” Cr Payne said.

The plan has also been given a tick of approval by the Victorian National Parks Association with executive director Matt Ruchel saying it will “hopefully see the end of squabbling”.

“After decades of bickering back and forth between major political parties and state and federal governments, the final master plan for Point Nepean is by and large a very positive document, setting out a clear and largely appropriate vision for the whole of the controversial site,” Mr Ruchel said.

“The plan comes with a long list of funding priorities, both from government and some co-investment. This will likely take decades to complete, but will bring a consolidated Point Nepean National Park back to life.”

Mr Ruchel said the VNPA “remains concerned” about a proposed jetty

which could increase boat traffic into the Ticonderoga Bay Dolphin Sanctuary.

Kate Baillieu, who became involved with Point Nepean in 2002 “when the Howard government was determined to sell off surplus Defence land there”, sees the master plan as “a significant

milestone”.

“We fought hard to have that land handed back to Victoria and incorporated into one integrated national park,” she said.

“We won the land back but it has taken about 15 years - and more political twists and turns than in the Kama

Sutra - to finally achieve this master plan for the park.

“Overall, I think the plan is good.

It has been achieved after widespread consultation and review. It is clear and should securely guide appropriate development of the Park, over the next few decades.

“It’s a very good start but we will be keeping a close eye on what happens next.”

Cr Hugh Fraser said “strong remedial action” was needed to protect Point Nepean from coastal erosion and further deterioration of its historic buildings. The plan provided a better link to the neighbouring shire-managed Police Point Park which contains four historic cottages, cultural history walks, and accommodation for respite and artists in residence programs.

The master plan for Point Nepean released last week by Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D’Ambrosio is based on an “optimum mixed use scenario” that includes accommodation ranging from camping (short term and glamping but no long term caravans) to a boutique hotel (“Planning for Pt Nepean’s future” The News 23/1/18).

It also includes demolishing two wings of the 1960s officer cadet accommodation and a former office building and two new as-yet unidentified buildings.

The plan is based on another plan released in 2010 and follows an unconfirmed $1 million pay-out made by the incoming Labor government after it rejected plans for a hotel, spa

and “wellness centre” planned by the Point Leisure group and approved by the former Liberal government led by Denis Napthine.

The Point Leisure Group, headed by Portsea residents Richard and Trine Shelmerdine was granted a 99-year lease for its claimed $100 million development.

Fifty-year leases are allowed in the latest master plan for approved commercial “partnership” activities including accommodation (“supported” by restaurants, spas, “wellness” and events); art (exhibitions, performances and residencies); hospitality and retail (“from world-class restaurants, to cafés, to wine bars, to provedores, to markets”).

At least half the estimated $142 million cost of carrying out the master plan depends on private investment.

Uses ruled out within the national park include: industry; cinemas (shortterm outdoor cinema and filming will be allowed); saleyards; transport terminals; and warehouses.

The state will initially spend $3.7 million on new staff and establishing camping areas.

Parks Victoria says it will need a minimum $1.6 million annually for “business as usual” at the park and more to implement the master plan.

A $62m “partnership investment” is listed for “ongoing process for lease arrangements, use and conservation of heritage buildings (internal building fitout)” and “potential new buildings”.

The final master plan is available at parks.vic.gov.au/pointnepeanplan.

LETTERS

Letters - 300 words maximum and including full name, address and contact number - can be sent to The News, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915 or emailed to: team@mpnews.com.au

Looking for fault can create divisive attitudes I’m responding to a request from The News for my position on the overseas holiday [Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO] Carl Cowie took in 2016.

I was not a councillor at the time and, apart from hearing about the holiday in question in conversation after the fact, I had no knowledge of the specifics and therefore did not want to make an uninformed comment (“Call to open gifts list” The News 9/1/18). This the time of year makes it difficult to contact others to discuss such matters to gain the necessary information.

I think it imperative to be as best informed as possible before making any important decisions or passing public comment.

As for whether this private trip should or should not have been put on the gifts register, I agree our governance guidelines will best answer this and I know the councillors as a group will discuss this prior to our next meeting on 30 January. No doubt we will be looking at whether we need to alter our processes. I have no issue with complete transparency.

I understand that you have since published a critical letter and listing myself as being nonresponsive (“Council should have transparent gifts list” Letters 16/1/18). My apologies for not responding earlier, but I trust given my explanation readers will appreciate why.

I’m looking forward to my second year as an elected councillor and have worked hard to gain the trust and cooperation of my fellow councillors and of the council officers. By and large we are working as an effective group and I’m optimistic of what the year will bring.

While it is vital to project organisational transparency and accountability, looking for fault and ignoring positive news can create divisive attitudes and not serve the interests of residents and ratepayers, as was witnessed during the latter days of the previous council.

Simon Brooks, councillor Seawinds ward, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council Editor: The shire’s Gifts, Benefits and Hospitality policy defines a benefit as: Something which is believed to be of value to the receiver, including access to a sporting event, preferential treatment (queue jumping), access to confidential information, accommodation, personal services, or recreational or vacation trips. The shire’s CEO Carl Cowie was a guest aboard a cruise ship hired by high profile businessman and peninsula property owner, Lindsay Fox. Mr Cowie says that because the cruise was made at no cost to the shire “it was not required to be placed on the gifts register”.

Undesirable influences Of course the Mornington Peninsula shire should open a register of “gifts” to councillors, officers and CEOs (“Calls to open shire gifts register” The News 23/1/18). Otherwise, what are they hiding? This is one way to stop “lobster with a mobster” influences. Make no mistake,

such influences are real and very undesirable.

Disastrous when found out and published by a newspaper.

And of course the CEO position should be advertised before the expiration of the present contract with Mr [Carl] Cowie. Offer a reasonable $200,000 package for the position and there will be plenty of eminently qualified applicants.

After all, this is only an insignificant little shire with many functions contracted out.

While we’re at it, somehow the excessive, unwarranted and abused $16,000 expense account (slush fund) available to all councillors must be abolished.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Ballot box sackings In response to Barb Rimington (“No response” Letters 23/1/18), the answer to your question is yes we can sack the lot of them [federal, state and local politiciams] and yes they all have forgotten that we are their employers.

The only way to do it in this so called majority rules democracy is to vote informal.

I would like to see what the Australian Electoral Commission would do if the total overall vote ended up 49 per cent to 51 per cent informal.

Voting informal is not illegal, but it seems most voters think it is.

We are coming into a state election so it is time to send them all a loud message which just might wake them all up.

Yes it would be good to have candidates of real people in all seats, but let’s try this first.

Vote 1 vote informal.

Phil Lang, Rosebud

Rubbish charges Perhaps Mornington Peninsula Shire needs to issue residents and ratepayers with parking permits and charge fees for visitors who park near our beaches. The funds could be used to clean up the litter left behind. Dianne Lewis, Mt Martha

Don’t close roads I am just reading the letter about roads being closed along the Esplanade on 3-4 March (“Road closures” Letters 23/1/18). Please tell me this is a joke.

How can you close local streets that we as residents use all the time for a triathlon that brings “economic boost”. How can this be if the road and car park is closed.

This is not a suitable area to hold this. Council has no right to close off our streets with no warning and no discussion.

I live in one of these roads and use the Esplanade to go to Mt Martha shops, the beach and beyond.

Being a ratepayer I am not impressed and insist that the council talk to all of us affected by this closure so we can decide if it should be taken up by a higher authority. Council is paid to look after the community, which is obviously not happening here.

I will be going to the council offices to object to this and hope others do the same.

Sue McKay, Mornington

Utilise Hastings’ pool I am fascinated by the way Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors intend to spend ratepayers’ money. They have already funded several attempts to have a pool in Rosebud that only very few people want.

No one mentions the large sums of money anymore that have been spent on design and environmental studiesduring [former CEO] Dr [Michael] Kennedy’s reign.

I may point out that the shire has a pool in Hastings. For $50 million plus operational costs it is for ratepayers cheaper to buy a shuttle bus and ferry the people to Hastings. This way the Hastings pool gets properly utilised.

Pools are notoriously expensive to operate: a hole in the ground into which one pours, apart from water, large sums of money.

Or is this actually some sort of competition between the shire and the neighbours down the road over who has got the bigger one? I would recommend to leave the prize with Frankston, which has had to close its pool due to technical issues already. Why would this any different in Rosebud?

Clemens Unger, Mornington

Planning changes I can see most of the value in the Rye township plan, including the single lane in and out of Rye, but at 50 kph not 40, despite the many people I’ve come across who say it will not work.

Having seen the situation at Mornington (Main St) and Chelsea (Nepean Highway) the evidence of the natural swing around to increased parking spaces is a winner. Both, however, have on street parking. A slight adjustment to allow the same at Rye, still with extra space for an extended footpath and a bike lane, is surely more practical than widened footpaths and no parking. Selfishly perhaps, I’m more concerned with the Campbell Lane proposals - pop up shops, coffee cafe’s with my unit backing on to it? A future without peace, or are they planning to buy us old codgers out?

Cliff Ellen, Rye

Control graffiti As a resident of the Mornington Peninsula (Mt. Martha, Mornington) I am disgusted at the out of control graffiti problem. Over the past few years it has become rampant, so much so that nothing is missed, fences, poles, street signs, power boxes or bus shelters.

This is pure vandalism that needs to be viewed by the authorities (Mornington Peninsula Shire or police) as a scourge on the area. It seems that nobody cares and everybody just hopes it will go away.

We need to toughen our existing laws and make these vandals aware that if caught they or their parents are heavily fined and made to remove their useless tags, which are unreadable and mean nothing to normal thinking people anyway.

Brian Corcoran, Mt. Martha

More to be done Your article “Rocks to fight erosion” (The News 16/1/18) covers Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio’s announcement that the state gov-

ernment will extend the existing rock revetment at Mt Martha North Beach by some 200 metres, which is a vital step in securing the future of the beach. The constant erosion of unprotected parts of the cliff (which is inherently unstable in any event), putting the Esplanade at risk, requires priority attention.

However, much more needs to be done if we are to regain and retain a usable beach.

The minister’s announcement also makes mention of her department conducting an analysis of future management options for our beach.

The timing of such evaluation and its subsequent implementation is crucial as any delays could see the beach literally damaged beyond repair (with remediation costs deemed unsustainable - leading to removal of the beach boxes and permanent closure of the beach).

Hence, while we greatly welcome the minister’s commitment to extend the revetment to further protect the cliff, it needs to be understood that action to stabilise the beach (which also contributes to cliff stability) requires similar urgent attention.

Alan Farquhar, chairman, Mt Martha North Beach Group

Inadequate shelter The buses have returned to Frankston station and we should all be rejoicing. Not so. There is a big problem with the inadequacy of the bus shelters.

I particularly point out Bay D which caters for the three Mornington buses. I cannot imagine who could have designed such a ridiculous shelter.

It has seating for only four people in the front and no seating at the back. A shelter that does not live up to its name. The old one was far superior as it was longer and had seating front and back.

I have written about the problem to Public Transport Victoria, Transport Minister Jacinta Allen and Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke. I await their replies.

These shelters must be replaced as soon as possible. Bus travellers are not happy with being either wet or sunburnt.

Brenda Rowlands, Mt Eliza

Lessons of history It should be compulsory in every school to teach the truth about white invasion and destruction of the black culture that existed before the arrival of Europeans. Only if we’re all facing up to this sad history will Australia be able to make meaningful and inclusive amends for wrongs past and present. The present crop of our representatives for the peninsula need to distance themselves from such a ill conceived program as their leader Mathew Guy seems to suggest.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Stop cruelty Spare a thought for the 742 men on Manus Island, Papua New Guinea, and the 369 men, women and children on Nauru. They are left without hope of a change and no hope of a better future.

It is time to stop this cruelty and give them protection. Why not end this unnecessary suffering for people seeking safety. We are better than this.

ON THE COVER

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

CHARACTER HOME WITH A FOCUS ON FAMILY CHARACTER, comfort, lifestyle and location; how these attributes best define this lovely country homestead can be yours to ponder as you enjoy the 3000 plus square metres of private, park-like grounds. Creating an excellent first impression is the fully paved driveway leading up to a double garage, and a welcoming full-length verandah that runs along three sides of the home. Period features such as high ceilings with decorative cornices and superb polished timber floorboards highlight the two lovely formal zones that greet you upon entry. The floorboards continue along the hallway to the vast open plan family room and kitchen which is a wonderfully light and breezy affair complete with dishwasher, handsome timber bench tops and a walk-in pantry.

A host of heating and cooling options to the adjoining dining and lounge room include a crackling wood heater and split system air-conditioning, with zoned ducted heating throughout the home. Opening from the family room is the fantastic undercover entertaining deck with high-span roof and ceiling fan. This space overlooks the large backyard and can be enclosed with cafe blinds. There are four excellent bedrooms; the larger master bedroom has an ensuite with corner spa bath and twin vanity unit, there is also air-conditioning, yet to enjoy a cool evening breeze there is a set of doors that opens out to the timber deck. Other bedrooms have a wall of built-in robes and handy study desks have been fitted, and to the well-appointed main bathroom is a separate shower and a claw-foot bath. This character-filled home is perfectly suited to a growing family with formal and casual entertaining areas in particular adding real value and ensuring that every member of the family just gets that little bit of space to call their own. The huge block is perfect for pets and in addition to the double garage there is a separate workshop with power connected.n

Western Port News 30 January 2018

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Young Frankston boy reported missing Compiled by Brodie Cowburn A CHILD of five years has been missing from Frankston since Saturday afternoon.

The foster mother, Mrs Rose Priest of Gwynne Avenue, Frankston Heights, states that the child was taken away in a buggy by a soldier from Broadmeadows camp and no trace of him had since been obtained. He was in no way related to the child but had been boarding with Mrs Priest.

He is supposed to be a deserter from the camp, as on inquiry there it was ascertained that he should have returned last week. His wife resides at Carlton but he had not been there since Friday last.

Mrs Priest said she had reported the matter to the Frankston police on Saturdy and they advised her to take out a warrant.

The child is described as fairly tall for her age with dark complexion and dark brown hair, and was dressed in a black coney skin coat and bonnet, and tan sandals. *** A VERY petty case of theft was perpetrated at the Frankston State School a day or two ago, when the rope belonging to the flag pole, in the school grounds, was taken away.

The School Board offers a reward of £1 for evidence sufficient to convict the person who did the deed.

It is to be hoped he has now got enough rope to hang himself with. *** AN enterprising Frankston worker, rumour says, has set his mind on raising £100 for the funds of St Paul’s Church of England of and it is safe

to assume that the labours of the individual referred to will bear the anticipated fruit. *** IF Frankston runs a Water Carnival and Regatta on Easter Monday as is mooted, we hear the donor of a valuable trophy for a yacht race can be found locally.

It is to be hoped that the meeting called for Friday evening February 1st will be packed to the doors. *** CR Dave Bell, Mrs Bell and family, of ‘’Banff” Princes Hill, have returned home after a very pleasant holiday spent at Frankston. *** THE Misses Pratt of “Durham” South Yarra, have just returned from Frankston, after a very enjoyable holiday spent there. *** A FETE will be held at the Tyabb Recreation Ground on Monday next, in aid of the local Red Cross Society, when a good programme of sports will be gone through. *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Mechanics and Free Library takes place on Thursday next in the hall, when the annual report and balance sheet will be received and officers elected for the ensuing year. *** A MEETING is called for Friday, 1st February, in another column. Seaside allotments are again selling freely in Frankston. During last week several lots changed hands at good prices.

Frankston is fast growing , and appears to possess an excellent future.

*** THERE is talk about a great treat for lovers of music, in Frankston, about Easter time.

A number of star city artists will probably be brought to Frankston, to raise revenue for the Repatriation Fund. *** AT a committee meeting of the Wattle Club held in the Hall on Thursday afternoon last, Miss Young’s resignation as secretary of is the Club was tendered and reluctantly accepted.

Miss Young, who has held the position for fifteen months, finds that the Club has grown to such in extent, that it requires more energy and attention than she has time to devote to it on account of being tied to business.

Mrs Wilcox has been appointed secretary till the end of the financial year. *** AT the Roseville tennis Championships tournament recently held near Sydney, Mr Frank Plowman, (who has just completed his third year as a Staff Cadet, at the Royal Military College, Duntroon) has, with Mr A. H. Raleigh, won the New South Wales country doubles championship.

The Sydney sporting press speaks in very high terms of his play and especially of his remarkable service. *** MRS Lee notifies in another column that she is opening an emporium for ladies and children’s underclothing, general drapery and dressmaking, in premises in Young street, adjoining Mr Wells’ butcher’s shop.

As Mrs Lee comes with good credentials and guarantees to sell under

Melbourne prices, she will doubtless be well patronised. *** SINCE operations connected with the Naval Base and Mornington Peninsula were begun several townships have applied to share in the supply.

The Water Commission states that, while conserving the interests of centres included in the original scheme, it will add to the list any township that can he supplied effectively if the financial return to the State will prove satisfactory.

Construction work has been expedited lately, and in a report the commission states that the construction of the Beaconsfield reservoir, which is to act as a regulating storage, is progressing well, the site being in the Haunted Gully, about 3 miles north of Beaconsfield. In this over 200,000,000 gallons of water can be stored at very small cost.

This storage will enable a very early supply from the Toomuc Creek to be sent to the Naval Base, and although it will eventually be connected with the main supply on the Bunyip River it will afford a satisfactory service in the meantime.

It is hoped to supply the Naval Base with water during the current year. *** A DEFINITE settlement of the dispute concerning coal supply between the Victorian Government and New South Wales Government was reached on Tuesday.

In the morning Victoria and New South Wales Ministers interviewed the Railway Commissioners with Mr J. Brown, from whose mines coal

for Victoria is being drawn, and a proposed contract be discussed.

The Railway Commissioners, Mr Brown, Mr Heagleth, (ex-Minister for Agriculture) and New South Wales Minister attended a Cabinet meeting in the afternoon when the proposed agreement was again considered at length. *** OPPOSITION is being shown by some local residents to the rating system which will be necessary, under the Water Commission scheme, for drainage of the area south of the Eel Race Road.

The scheme, which has been undertaken at the request of certain settlers, involves an expenditure of £1250, and a deputation on Monday placed their views before the Commission. *** £1 REWARD will be paid for information leading to the conviction of the person who removed the halliard from State School flag pole. *** MRS SHEARER (Organist) desires to return sincere and heartfelt thanks to the members of the Church of England Langwarrin. who so kindly presented her with a beautiful hymn book with music, which will always be very highly valued. *** ADAMSON, STRETTLE, and CO. Prop. Ltd. will hold a Special Horse Sale on March 11 at One’ o’clock, When they will offer 80 Horses and Ponies. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 26 January 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Great Gingerbread House Decorating Epiphany

By Stuart McCullough I GOT carried away. Which is to say that my transition from bewildered detachment through to enraptured hysteria was such that I temporarily abandoned any notion of goodwill to others. Instead, I elected to mercilessly crush the opposition and do all things necessary to secure a glorious victory that, in my mind at least, would be celebrated through the ages.

I speak, of course, of competitive gingerbread house decorating.

I was a third wheel of sorts. Which is to say that I was attending a Christmas lunch with my sister in law who, in turn, was hosting her in laws. I’m not sure what an in law once removed is, but that’s what I was. (I’m not sure about the expression ‘third wheel’.

When you think about it, a third wheel is, in actual fact, pretty useful.

Try driving without a third wheel and see how far you get.) As a ‘plus one’, my job for the day was to refrain from any conduct that could be remotely described as embarrassing. This is more difficult than it sounds.

Lunch was delightful. Both the food and the conversation were great.

As the meal ended, I wondered what might come next. In our family, we defy the gravitational effects of a really large lunch by playing cricket in the back yard. This goes on until all the balls have been tonked into the long grass of the paddock next door and we decide to leave them to the snakes. For other families, Christmas lunch is followed by a screening of a movie – like A Very Brady Christmas, It’s A Wonderful Life or, depending on your preference, Die Hard.

PAGE 38

As it turns out, my in laws in law (if that’s a thing) are not ones for back yard cricket or yuletide viewings of Die Hard. No one was interested in a nap. As the plates were cleared, one family member emitted a battle cry declaring it was ‘game on’ and that the annual gingerbread house throwdown had commenced.

At first I didn’t take it seriously. But it soon became clear that this annual competition involved picking teams, strategy sessions and, in the end, a winner and a loser. Determined not to make any waves, I resolved to do just enough to avoid ignominy whilst taking the first opportunity to slink away.

To make me, as the relative newcomer, feel as welcome as possible, I was chosen dead last.

Western Port News 30 January 2018

Clearly, despite the convivial atmosphere, everyone regarded me as something of a deadweight. I headed into the strategy session, where various ideas were floated. None of them seemed quite right. I’d earlier spotted a packet of gummy bears in the kitchen and was convinced that the only logical theme for our gingerbread house was ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’. My team members embraced the idea with gusto.

Having quickly drawn up blueprints and gained local council approval, we set about decorating our gingerbread house. I started by hand-carving Goldilocks using a chocolate button, icing, half a Smartie and small pieces of licorice. With my Goldilocks setting in the fridge, I moved on to

creating lawn by pulverizing a mint crisp chocolate bar I stole from my wife’s handbag. In the midst of my feverish pounding, I looked up and noticed that the rest of my team were proceeding in a far more casual manner. It was then that I crossed over.

Suddenly, I was barking orders.

I had a vision for this gingerbread house and nothing was going to stand in my way. We made snow by grating white chocolate, a window for Goldilocks to look through and a pathway for the returning bears. Using a licorice strap, I carved a small shotgun for one of the bears. Whilst the idea of a fairytale character packing heat may seem odd, it’s worth remembering that Goldilocks, at its heart, is the story of a home invasion.

Those bears have a right to defend themselves and their porridge by any means necessary.

Then I took things too far. When one of my teammates held up a car made of licorice allsorts (you didn’t expect Goldilocks to walk, did you?), I demanded to know how fuelefficient the engine was. Like Kurtz, I was heading further and further up the river into complete madness. Naturally, the end result was a masterpiece. Indeed, our gingerbread house was so awesome that I wouldn’t have been a bit surprised if a tiny gingerbread Kevin McCloud had appeared and showered me with praise. That the other house was deemed to be the ultimate winner was a substantial miscarriage of justice. I haven’t given up hope - the results of the drug tests I insisted on are yet to come back.

I’m pretty sure the other team will be disqualified.

Christmas is a funny thing. Sometimes you’re with your immediate family, sometimes with a newer family. In a way, family is as elastic a concept as anything else and it’s these kinds of events that serve a reminder of how life moves and changers. For me, it’s always interesting to see what role ritual plays in these gatherings.

Traditions give us comfort, make us feel safe. More than that, they make us feel as if we belong. As for me, I will spend the coming year working on my gingerbread house decorating skills so that I’m ready for Christmas when it next rolls around. Assuming, of course, that I’m invited back. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Skipper Travis Campbell was more than handy with the bat yet again, while Joel Bateman hit a timely 43 and Jake Prosser 35.

CJ King was the pick of the bowlers for the Sorras, taking 3/40.

The Kangas total of 261 is going to

Hillmen back to best

be a tough chase for Sorrento.

Chris Brittain (39) and Daniel Warwick (63) got things back on track while Justin Bridgeman also added 32.

Peace breaks out at Southern United SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SCRIPTWRITERS for the hit TV series Vikings could draw inspiration from the goings-on at Southern United.

The NPL women’s club came into being in late 2015 as a consortium comprised of representatives from Langwarrin, Casey Comets, Mornington, Peninsula Strikers and Seaford United.

There was much fanfare and high expectations for a club with the largest catchment area in the elite competition.

But while trying to find its feet in the newly created league Southern found itself slowly but surely immersed in a civil war that would have brought a smile to the face of Ivar the Boneless.

The club’s inaugural president was former Matildas keeper and Football Federation Australia Hall of Fame inductee Theresa Deas who stepped down to become vice-president at the AGM last November.

She resigned a fortnight ago.

Stuart McLeod had taken over from Deas as president.

He resigned a fortnight ago.

The club’s inaugural secretary was Michael Woodward.

He resigned three weeks ago.

Last November Southern announced the appointment of Graham Dudley as operations manager and technical director.

He resigned a fortnight ago.

In December the club announced the appointment of Brian Murphy as under-19s coach.

He resigned a fortnight ago.

And the list goes on.

But emerging from the wreckage that was a crunch committee meeting a fortnight back was Shannon Palmer, co-owner of STR Truck Bodies, Southern’s major sponsor until recently and destined to once again fulfil that role.

Her daughter Talia was part of Southern’s allconquering under-13 side which swept to championship and Grand Final glory last year and remains the jewel in the club’s thorny crown.

Palmer, who now heads a seven-member committee, is the club’s third president in three months and she has a mountain to climb.

First and foremost Southern has a $40,000-plus debt to deal with.

Coaches are owed money from last season, a sticking point with the NPL’s 2017 Coaches of the Year, Rob Giabardo and Bill Mihaloudis, who quit their roles as joint senior coaches last October and switched to rival Bayside United taking the bulk of the senior squad with them including Candy Ferreyra-Bas, 2017 NPLW Gold Medal winner.

But Palmer aims to tackle the financial turmoil head-on.

“At the moment we are piecing together information from the previous committee,” she said.

“It’s going to take a good 12 months (to stabilise) but addressing the financial situation is a priority and I’ll take all the measures required to see that this is rectified.”

The club almost struck another major hurdle a week ago when senior coach Aaron Myatt came

Picture: John Punshon

perilously close to joining the burgeoning list of resignees.

The debt, the player exodus, the administrative upheaval and a lucrative offer from a rival club which included paying for his A licence coaching course and subsidising his Pro licence tested him to the limit.

But Myatt takes pride in being one of the club’s foundation coaches and after a warts-and-all meeting with the new committee, he reaffirmed his commitment to his role.

He then headed straight to Murphy’s home and after a lengthy conversation the Irishman is back in charge of the under-19s and assisting Myatt with the seniors.

Just five players from last year’s senior squad remain – goalkeeper Freya Crocker, defender Natasha Dakic, midfielder Nikolina Bucalo, forward Jess Beddows and defender Indre Christy – but the club has signed Hong Kong international midfielder Lau Yui Ching (Avery Lau) from Kitchee.

The 22-year-old former Lung Moon star is required for international duty and doesn’t arrive until Tuesday 6 March so she should make her debut in Southern’s Sunday 11 March clash with Alamein at Monterey Reserve at 6pm.

Defender Ella Douglass and forward Sarah Wieck have been signed from Bayside United along with 16-year-old winger Maylinda Emini from Brandon Park.

Southern has a Scottish contact and is currently on the lookout in the UK for a central defender to fill its second visa spot.

The club’s under-12, under-14 and under-16 squads are strong and in good hands.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

John Meades is in charge of the under-12s, Debbie Nichols and Emma Bracken oversee their stellar under-14 squad while noted development coach Andrea Vignati has the under-16 reins.

All three squads swept past Alamein in an impressive recent hitout.

Former Langwarrin president Tanya Wallace is now Southern’s community club liaison officer.

She also is an ever-present advisor and Palmer is certain to draw upon Wallace’s experience as a football administrator.

It’s clear that bridges need to be rebuilt and one of the first is to reopen a dialogue with the consortium’s foundation clubs, especially Casey Comets which has a successful and growing women’s program and has become estranged from Southern for various reasons.

Palmer has already spoken at length with Football Federation Victoria president Kimon Taliadoros and plans to arrange a meeting with Comets president Dawn Stone among others.

On Monday (29 January) Palmer meets with FFV’s commercial and media manager Anthony Grima to formulate a strategic plan to present to Taliadoros and his board.

On Tuesday morning Palmer meets with council representatives to get a full rundown on the Wedge Road sports facility in Carrum Downs where Southern’s administrative headquarters will be based.

The multi-million dollar upgrade received another boost last week with the state government announcing a further $2.2 million grant for a multi-purpose synthetic playing field.

On Tuesday afternoon Palmer meets with the FFV’s club development team.

For Southern, there is so much to be done and so little time.

Its season kicks-off on Sunday 25 February.

And if the scriptwriters from “Vikings” were arranging the fixtures which club do you think they would have pitted against Southern for the season opener?

You guessed it, Bayside United.

In other news, Langwarrin’s two NPL visa spots will go to Scottish striker Liam Baxter and English midfielder Paul Speed.

Connor Belger was widely tipped to take up one of the visa spots but is unable to commit to a full season and has been snapped up by Casey Comets where it is hoped he will be available for up to 16 games.

The NPL2 season kicks off in under three weeks and features 28 rounds of matches.

Langwarrin plays Box Hill United at Wembley Park on Saturday 17 February at 3.15pm and its first home game is at Lawton Park on Saturday 24 February at 3pm against Goulburn Valley Suns.

There was a flurry of activity at Langy last week and the club has agreed terms with the following players: Andy McIntyre, Robbie Acs, Lewis Foster, Boris Ovcin, Paul Speed and Dylan Kilner (all with Langy last season), Luke Burgess (from Whittlesea Ranges), Harrison Michaelis (Bulleen), Andy McLean (Eltham Redbacks), John Kuol (Morwell Pegasus) and Victor Medini (Dandenong Thunder).

More signings are expected this week.

In State 1 news Max Etheridge arrives on Saturday from the UK to head up Mornington’s strike force.

He is a former Morwell Pegasus, Bentleigh Greens and Kingston City player and is expected to play a pivotal role in the club’s title tilt.

Mornington will take on Knox in a friendly at Egan Lee Reserve on Wednesday 7 February at 7pm.

On Saturday 10 February Mornington travels to Kingston Heath Soccer Complex to take on NPL giant Bentleigh Greens.

The reserves kick off at 9am and the senior match starts at 10.30am.

Next Saturday the focus of local soccer switches to Baxter Park with the sixth staging of the Steve Wallace Memorial Cup. Group A comprises Langwarrin, Casey Comets, Peninsula Strikers and Baxter.

Group B is made up of Mornington, Frankston Pines, Seaford United and Skye United.

The annual fundraiser for the emergency department at Frankston Hospital is a round-robin event which kicks off at 10am with the Langwarrin v Peninsula Strikers (pitch 1) and Mornington v Seaford United (pitch 2) matches.

In State 3 news Brett Heskins may be the bolter in Billy Armour’s Skye United senior squad.

Heskins, 24, broke into Langwarrin’s senior team in the 2014 season after playing in the juniors and reserves.

The defender stopped playing in 2015 and headed to the US the following year.

Armour rates Heskins highly and is keen to lure the big man back to the sport.

Carrum Downs scores new playing field A NEW regional training hub is set to be built at the Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve for local clubs and school groups which will include a new synthetic oval.

Victorian Sports Minister John Eren and Carrum Labor MP Sonya Kilkenny announced on Wednesday 24 January a $500,000 commitment towards the project as part of the Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve Redevelopment.

The multipurpose synthetic sports facility will cater to a range of codes including Australian Rules football, cricket and soccer.

Southern United Football Club – who have an elite level team in the Women’s National Premier League as well as five other female teams – will call the hub home.

The $2.2 million redevelopment of the reserve, which Frankston Council is contributing $1.7 million towards, will also deliver a central cricket wicket, sports field lighting, fencing and various line markings.

Mr Eren said the new training facility will open up new doors for clubs and reduce the wear and tear on other local grounds.

“This community loves their sport and participation is growing. That’s why we’re making sure local clubs in Carrum Downs have the facilities they need to play in all conditions,” Eren said.

The mayor Cr Colin Hampton welcomed the announcement saying the synthetic surface will revolutionise the playing and training experience for sporting clubs, especially with the high demand for female and junior participation.

“We know that improving local sports infrastructure helps build stronger, healthier and more connected communities and increases participation amongst children and adults alike,” he said.

“This is an exciting time for sports and recreation within Frankston City, with part of the Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve refurbishments already completed or underway and further improvements to come in the future.”

The announcement follows the $700,000 sale of the old Carrum Downs Memorial Hall which was redirected towards the new $4 million multipurpose pavilion.

Riley reaches world’s junior top 10

By Ben Triandafillou WHEELCHAIR tennis player Riley Dumsday has broken into the top 10 world junior boy’s rankings after taking out the Melbourne Open the week before last.

The Mornington Elite Tennis Academy junior pushed through the scorching conditions at the Hume Community Tennis Centre to win the under-18 boys singles and finish runners-up in the mixed doubles.

Riley, 12, is now ranked 10th in the world and said he was really happy to win the tournament but even happier to have ticked off one of his main goals for the year.

“I’m really happy to make it into the top 10,” he said.

“It was one of my goals that I made at the end of last year and I was able to do it after my first tournament for the year.

“The weather was really hot, it was in the 40s and high 30s but I think I coped fairly well.”

Mornington Elite Tennis Academy director Kate Antosik said she was stoked to see Riley have a great week

at the Melbourne Open.

“The coaching team at Elite Tennis Academy Mornington are very proud of Riley,” she said.

“Not only in his results from this tournament but also for breaking into the top 10 junior wheelchair players in the world. It is exciting times ahead

for Riley.”

In the same week another Mornington Elite Tennis Academy junior, Emmerson Priest, won her first singles title on the Australian Ranking Junior Tour.

Emmerson competed at the 2018 Mornington JT Bronze January tourna-

ment held at the Mornington Tennis Centre and won the 12 and under singles against Western Australian top seed Talia Edgar (4-6 6-4 11-9) as well as the 12 and under doubles with partner Amelia Zylberman (1-6 7-6 10-8).

Antosik, who is also Emmerson’s personal coach, said it was great to see Emmerson’s hard work and training pay off with her results in the tournament.

“It is a huge milestone to be winning tournaments after only beginning to compete on the Australian Junior Tour less than 12 months ago,” Antosik said.

“I promised her that if she won a tournament by the end of the Summer Season I would give her four new rackets and she won the last tournament of the summer.

“This is the first singles tournament that Emmerson and I have won since working together and I am excited to see what 2018 brings for her.”
