Survival of the apes TYABB Primary School’s Orangutan Day want to raise awareness of orangutans and help save them from extinction.

Years 5 and 6 pupils on Wednesday 30 August used power-point presentations and posters they made to illustrate deforestation, palm oil harvesting and the need for consumers to buy forest-friendly products.

The pupils wore splashes of orange to show support.

The day has evolved from the school’s Indonesian language program, studies of Asia, in which pupils study the lives of the great apes in an effort to understand the devastation they are facing.

Money raised provides medicine, food, veterinary care and forestschool training for dedicated carers to help orangutans, which are critically endangered, as well as adopting and supporting orphaned or injured orangutans in Indonesian care centres.

Teacher Leanne Day said the pupils supported the Orangutan Project set up by Australian zoologist Leif Cocks, which aims to protect and educate people about orangutans.

Storm over foreshore plan Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au TWO of Hastings most active clubs have given the thumbs down to Mornington Peninsula Shire’s plans for the foreshore.

Both clubs say the Draft Hastings Foreshore Precinct Plan ignores their needs and could put members of the public at risk.

Hastings Yacht Club and Westernport Angling Club members are op-

posing the plan which was released for public comment on 28 August and will close on 2 October.

Yacht club secretary Martin Jones slammed it as being “not encouraging of what we do here”, while the angling club’s Don Newman said members felt their submissions had been “almost totally ignored with no feedback from the shire to our alternative proposals”.

Mr Jones said the club’s 200 members were gearing for “big changes” under the draft plan which recognises

its “strong community mindset”.

“Hastings is a boating precinct of regional and state significance and offers sailors their only access to deep water,” he said. “The plan acknowledges this but it was drawn up from a landbased perspective.”

Mr Jones described the proposed pedestrian walkway to the east of the club as a “pathway to danger” because it would bring pedestrians into contact with boats being hauled up onto the slipway at one end and the public car

park and boat ramp at the other.

“On busy days it will be hazardous.

The shire recognises that but doesn’t deal with it and that’s a fundamental flaw of the plan.”

Mr Jones said a grassed area providing “safety, security and supervision” of children taking part in the successful Sailability program was in jeopardy under the plan. “Losing that grassed area will disrupt everything,” he said.

The 60 angling club members fear they face eviction as their club is not

included in the foreshore plan. They are also concerned about the loss of the only public toilets in the area adjoining the club, used particularly by women before or after boating as few recreational boats have on-board toilets.

“The toilets must remain close to the boat ramp,” Mr Newman said. They are also used by small groups of disabled people on regular bus visits, or people with special needs, who often picnic at the tables to the east of the club.”

Grandmothers locked out of MP’s office Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt was in lockdown last Tuesday morning as a group of grandmothers protested about the federal government’s treatment of refugees.

The protest by the South Peninsula Grandmothers against the Detention of Refugee Children came one week after police forcibly evicted members of a church group from the office who were calling for better treatment of asylum seekers being detained on Manus Island and Nauru (“Police praised by ‘evicted’ church group” The News 29.8.17).

“Other members of the public who came were not able to enter to talk with office staff. A woman visiting before our group had formed, could not get in with her request. The door was locked against us all,” Ann Renkin, one of the protesting grandmothers, said.

“Towards the end of our [90-minute] peaceful demonstration I rang Minister Hunt’s office from outside the office door. The answer to my request for them to open the door so that I could deliver a letter was refused on the grounds that they had been advised by the federal police to lock themselves inside, and us out.”

Ms Renkin said her group had earlier briefed Mr Hunt’s staff about the demonstration and said they would be delivering a letter for him.

“We were a small group of law-abiding electors coming to him, our federal representative, to tell him again that we are very critical of his govern-

ment’s refugee policies and abusive practices,” she said.

“Does our local MP’s distrust extend to all grass roots organisations in his electorate?

“Do we assume Mr Hunt is only available to electors who agree with him?”

The latest protest outside Mr Hunt’s office also came in the wake of reports of a boat carrying six Chinese men breaching Australia’s border security by landing on Saibai Island.

An Australian island in the Torres Strait, Saibai is less than five kilometres from Papua New Guinea. The landing would appear to end the federal government’s ability to boast about its long record of preventing boat landings on Australian soil.

People from PNG are allowed to visit Saibai without visas or passport.

as being returned to their country after being detained on Saibai.

A PNG man and a Chinese man were later taken to Cairns where they were charged with aggravated people smuggling under the Migration Act. Mr Hunt was last week asked by The News for details – timelines and numbers - of the government’s refugee “resettlement agreement with the United States” he had mentioned in a statement issued the previous week.

Mr Hunt’s Hastings-based media advisor Samantha Robin replied that the federal government had an “arrangement with the United States for the resettlement of refugees from Nauru and Papua New Guinea who are endorsed by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for referral to the existing United States Refugee Admissions Program. President Trump has confirmed this agreement”.

“US authorities will conduct their own assessment of refugees referred by the UNHCR to determine which refugees and how many are resettled in the US,” Ms Robin said.

“Resettlement in the US is just one of the options available to support the resettlement of refugees. Refugees will continue to be resettled temporarily in Nauru, and permanently in Papua New Guinea and Cambodia.

“The priority is the resettlement of the most vulnerable refugees, with an initial focus on women, children and families.”

Recordings of a 28 January phone conversation between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull released last month

by The Washington Post shows that the resettlement “agreement” is nonspecific on numbers but necessary for the government to maintain its hard-

line stance against refugees arriving by boat.

“You can decide to take 1000 or 100.

It is entirely up to you,” Mr Turnbull is recorded as saying to Mr Trump. “The obligation is to only go through the process.”

Mr Turnbull then assures Mr Trump that the “vast bulk” of people detained on Nauru and Manus Island are “economic refugees” and Australian authorities know “exactly everything about them”.

“Let me explain. We know exactly who they are. They have been on Nauru or Manus for over three years and the only reason we cannot let them into Australia is because of our commitment to not allow people to come by boat. Otherwise we would have let them in. If they had arrived by airplane and with a tourist visa then they would be here,” Mr Turnbull says.

Fair aims for sustainability THE third Balnarring Community Sustainability Fair will be held 9am3pm Saturday 14 October at the Balnarring Primary School.

The fair is seen as maintaining the school’s commitment to making sustainable principles a cornerstone of its pupils’ education.

The October 2015 sustainability fair was awarded the Event of the Year by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

This year’s event will see the school “transformed into a vibrant meeting place for businesses, organisations and community groups that share a focus on environmental and sustainable issues”, said Bec Davis, one of the fair’s organisers “Stalls include an eclectic range of eco-friendly gifts, locally produced food and wine, ethical skin care and homewares and environmental action groups,” she said.

“Workshops, children’s activities, live local music and guest speakers will also fill what promises to be an innovative and exciting program.”

Businesses, community groups, local producers, artists and musicians who want to be involved in the fair should visit www.bcsf.com.au or call Pea Saunders on 5931 4444.

Reading results from Book Week WITCHES, princesses, super heroes and even a duck brought Hastings’ second annual Book Day to life, Tuesday 29 August.

Shop fronts were decorated to represent favourite books and traders dressed as book characters.

Pre-schools pupils and their teachers and parents also dressed as their favourite book characters.

The focus of the day was to demonstrate to youngsters the excitement and joy of reading as they made their way down High St listening to stories.

The book day was organised by the Hastings’ Linking School and Early Years (LSEY) partnership, now

The census measures the development of Australian students in key areas early in their first year of primary schooling.

“This amazing result has been brought about in large part by the whole town approach developed by Hastings’ LSEY partnership,” former principal at St Mary’s Primary School Richard Mucha said.

Pound opens with adoption time trial Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

THE new community animal shelter and pound on Watt Rd, Mornington, includes an updated cattery with separate spaces for 34 cats, and two quarantine rooms said to be industry best practice.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Bev Colomb says the design of the pound, which opened on Wednesday 23 August after a reported $900,000 revamp, will ensure it “continues to meet its obligations under the code of practice for the management of dogs and cats in shelters and pounds”. It will reduce the potential for disease and assist in the day to day management of the animals.

A six-month trial adoption time began last Saturday so visitors can view animals 10am-1pm without an appointment.

Previous visiting arrangements had been slammed as unwieldy. Those intending to visit (and which is still the case for weekday visits) must apply online, receive a confirmation, then fill out paperwork before they can get an appointment time.

The shire says the pound is open to the public by appointment almost every day of the year, but a sticking point with some residents has been the difficulty in getting an appointment to see pets supposedly available for adop-

tion, and the “secrecy surrounding the number of animals euthanised”.

Save Mornington Pound Animals organiser Rosy Fischer said the group wants to stop cats and dogs being killed at the pound and the shire to increase its efforts to find homes for strays.

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the pound placed a “high priority on the welfare and care for lost pets and endeavours to re-home all suitable, unclaimed animals”.

“The shelter ensures pets available for adoption are vet checked, de-sexed, vaccinated, wormed, temperament tested and micro-shipped,” she said.

“Dedicated staff at the shelter endeavour to raise awareness of respon-

sible pet ownership through with the 2000 visitors that come to the facility each year.”

Cr Colomb said she looked forward to seeing the Saturday morning trials run “throughout our busiest season”.

“Our shire-run facility has been caring for cats, dogs and stray livestock for more than 30 years,” she said.

“Last year we successfully reunited more than 800 pets with their owners. A further 573 pets were rescued or adopted into a loving home through the tireless efforts of volunteer animal rescue group partners.”

Ms Fischer said the pound had “only three pets up for adoption last week – with no new animals listed for weeks”.

China trip seeks new source of power Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A TRIP to inspect the latest technology being used in China to generate electricity from rubbish and lessen the amount going to landfill is part of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s bid to attain carbon neutrality by 2020.

Cr Hugh Fraser said moving to a waste-to-energy system could lead to the shire being able to close its Rye tip and avoid a $2 million a year state tax to keep it open.

“The Rye landfill is the shire’s largest contributor to its greenhouse gas and carbon footprint,” Cr Fraser said.

He said the only question remaining was when the tip could be closed, which would also save money on opening costly new “waste cells”.

“Council has resolved to transition to disposal of its kerbside municipal waste to a waste-to-energy facility when economically available,” Cr Fraser said. “The waste market and the access to such technology is moving quickly. A centre of excellence in the disposal of waste is being developed in South Dandenong [which is] readily accessible to the shire.”

He said alternative waste and wasteto-energy technology and plant “is readily available in Europe and now China, but less so on a commercial scale in Victoria”.

Cr Fraser, who left for China last Sunday (2 September) with acting chief operating officer Niall McDonagh and waste services team leader Daniel Hinson, will report back to council within 30 days on “how knowledge gained may influence the future direction of alternate waste technologies in the region and the shire”.

The China trip resulted from an invitation from the Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group (of which the shire is a member) and Greater Dandenong Council, which is also sending a team.

The $2500 cost of sending Cr Fraser to China for seven days is the first deduction this term from his $16,000 conferences, training and seminars account.

All councillors have access to the same amount, although Cr David Gill – who voted against this week’s China trip – says he will not claim expenses, including travelling.

Like all councillors, Cr Gill is paid a $28,000 a year stipend and is provided with a mobile phone and computer.

The stipend for the mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, is $90,000 as well as a car.

Cr Gill said he believed all the information being sought in China “is available through video conferencing or the internet”.

Impetus for the shire to obtain carbon neutrality followed the attendance at the December 2015 United Nations

COP21 climate change conference in Paris by the then mayor Cr Graham Pittock and Cr Fraser.

Soon after their return, the shire announced it would close the Rye tip mid-2017, a decision that was overturned in August 2016, with the tip being given a three-year reprieve.

The exact “life” of the Rye tip would depend on the establishment of an alternate waste technology, or AWT, facility.

The shire also said it would join the MWRRG in tendering for an AWT south east of Melbourne “noting the option and opportunity of locating such a facility at council’s Tyabb waste facility [in McKirdys Rd] adjacent to Western Port Highway”.

Background notes provided to councillors stated that it is “very likely” that Melbourne would have just three landfills operating within 15 years, and all west of the city.

When arguing for continued use of the Rye tip Cr David Gibb - who did not seek re-election in 2016 - said prolonging its use would not jeopardise the shire’s bid to be carbon neutral.

He said claims that it was necessary to close Rye to achieve carbon neutrality had been “a fraud on ratepayers”.

Strict controls are being placed on emissions and disposal of ash on the latest incinerators overseas where residual heat is used to either power electricity generators or heat buildings.

‘Smashed’ pylon makes debut A NEW sculpture has been installed alongside Peninsula Link near the Skye Rd exit to replace the large ram’s head Rex Australis.

Iconoclast — a mock electricity pylon smashed by what looks like a meteor — was put in place last week after Rex’s removal.

The artwork by Brisbane-based Michael Riddle is based on “the idea of collapse”.

Riddle told ABC radio’s Breakfast show he believed reactions to the sculpture would be “a mixed bag”.

“There will be some people who like it and some people who have

something negative to say about it.”

Public artworks along Peninsula Link, including “the chrome gnome” at the Cranbourne Rd exit officially called Reflective Lullaby, are privately funded by Peninsula Link owner operator Southern Way. The sculptures are commissioned and owned by McLelland Gallery & Sculpture Park and “retired” artworks including the popular Tree of Life, removed to make way for the chrome gnome in July 2015, are put on display at the Langwarrin sculpture park where entry is free. The artworks are rotated every two years. Neil Walker

Maritime centre left off foreshore plan WESTERN Port Oberon Association president Max Bryant says he is disappointed his group’s push for a maritime centre is not included in the draft Hastings Foreshore Precinct Plan.

Mr Bryant said he “surprised” by comments of the shire’s property and strategy manager Yasmin Woods that the association does not have state government involvement and approval in having the Otama submarine as a

focal point of the proposed maritime centre on the outer wall of the Western Port Marina (“Future plan has no port for a sub” The News, 29/8/17).

“We do have their approval and, if she would care to meet with us, we could show her,” Mr Bryant said.

He said the cost of completing the maritime centre “in stages” was about $15 million, with about $5 million to be spent excavating an old channel,

called Lacey’s Lead, with a long-reach excavator, so the Otama could be floated towards shore.

Mr Bryant presented a project brief at a shire drop-in session on 1 June and had “fully expected” to have the maritime centre included as part of the foreshore strategy. He said the association was “disappointed we were not consulted further”.

Ms Woods acknowledged that the

association had expressed a “strong interest in establishing a maritime centre next to the marina breakwater”.

But her report does not back the plan, which centres on relocating the Otama to the marina’s outer wall: “This is a major undertaking that brings considerable expense, environmental and other approval requirements, and range of further work,” she said in her report.

“Given the current status and extent of work required, it has not been included as a recommended measure within this document.

“Should a sufficient level of commitment be obtained from state/ federal governments, and should the necessary approvals be pursued, this is a matter that can be considered outside the scope of this precinct plan.

Stephen Taylor

Clubs ready to fight over foreshore rights Continued from Page 1 Mr Newman said they had met with shire officers several times “but we don’t seem to get anywhere”.

“We thought they were going along with us but they want us out,” he said.

“They’ve been trying to get rid of us for years. They haven’t said where we should move except, perhaps, into the yacht club.”

Angling club members contributed $22,000 for their building in 1989 and turned it into the “best known angling club in Victoria”, with whiting and snapper competitions attracting up to 500 people to the presentations, Mr Newman said.

Despite boating numbers increasing, the draft plan proposes reducing the area of overflow boat trailer parking by 60 per cent, with an area south of Mullet St being judged “too far away from the ramp”.

Also in jeopardy is the grassed picnic area between the club and the marina boundary which is used for the annual Whiting Challenge presentation and other events.

“We oppose the plan’s intention to encourage pedestrians and cyclists [to go] through the dangerous boat ramp and trailer parking area, as well as the proposed realignment of the trailer parking bays in a north/south direction away from the east/west direction,” Mr Newman said.

“Opening a path along the waterfront in front of the yacht club will lead pedestrians into the dangerous yacht launching area.”

Shire planners said the draft plan aimed to develop a single master plan providing “clear and consistent vision for the future improvement of the Hastings foreshore precinct”.

A reference in the plan relates to the “overwhelming importance of regaining waterfront access for the public”.

Shire officers said two “pertinent principles” were that foreshore facilities should be consolidated, and that assets on coastal Crown land should

be coastal dependent.

The shire’s property and strategy manager Yasmin Woods said the angling club site was earmarked for “enhanced parking facilities” for the public boat ramp. “Were the angling club to be retained in its present location, the preferred design would require the facility (along with the adjoining toilets) to be [on] a traffic island [in] a car park. This would be an inappropriate outcome and the question arises as to where the club should be located,” Ms Woods stated in the draft report.

“Outside of core fishing activities, angling club events involve gatherings

on the grassed area in front of their current premises for barbecues and socialisation. These activities contribute positively to the precinct and should continue.

“However, it is pertinent to note that the fishing events and associated barbecues are not a direct result of where the angling club is located. These events are driven by boating access to Western Port Bay. The angling club’s facility, although a convenient venue, is used primarily for gathering and small scale storage.

“Gatherings can occur regardless of this facility due to convenient open

space access, and storage is not a key requirement in this location. This is an inefficiency which can be better addressed.”

Ms Woods said the “ideal scenario from a coastal planning and management perspective” would involve consolidating the angling club within the yacht club.

“Should this be unviable due to conflicts with club events, logistics, security, or other factors, an alternative option may be to relocate the angling club outside of the precinct, ideally alongside or within another social use facility … the club’s location is not

I am again amazed at the ratepayer-funded waste management trip (“Shire team’s waste trip to China” The News 29/8/17). Surely Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors took note of the backlash they received following the [attendance by two councillors and a staff member] the [2015] climate change talks in Paris.

Cr Hugh Fraser needs to understand that this is ratepayers’ hard earned money. I also doubt whether this type of activity is included in a council’s mandate.

The information on waste management and, in fact, climate change can be readily obtained as I understand it from government sources who research these issues for the benefit of the country.

This council needs to understand that ratepayers’ money is not for their personal use but for the benefit of their constituents.

Graham Lee, McCrae Editor: Costs of the trip to China by Cr Fraser and two shire executives has been approved by council and is being conducted in association with the City of Greater Dandenong and the Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group (of which the shire is a member).

Look closer to home

Here we go again, milking the shire cow. Two council staff members and a temporary elected councillor from the Mornington Peninsula Shire are off to China to study incinerators, costing us $7500 and proving that the shire has plenty of money to spare (“Shire team’s waste trip to China” The News 29/8/17). Our money.

That’s the second trip for Cr Hugh Fraser, the last one being to Paris.

China, with a totalitarian central government, is not the place to study incinerators, everything there is non-Australian, even the garbage is

different. Australia, a largely democratic country with independent environmental protection agencies would be the first place to visit.

Eight councils in Perth have combined to commission the building of $400 million incinerator at Kwinana; the winning contractor apparently using world’s best practice and seemingly highly competent and experienced. Check it out on the internet.

At that price state government intervention and, no doubt, subsidies and concessions would be required. Proper engineers would need to study the negative impacts including carbon emissions, and recovery of deadly toxic gases and ash. I have no doubt at all that Perth has already done all of this and evaluated all proposals.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Ridiculous tree loss Thank you Elizabeth Albiston for your letter about the Safety Beach tree terrorists (“Tree terrorists” Letters 15/8/17). In Seahaven Way, Safety Beach, three trees were removed with protruding stumps left to trip over. In no way were these trees a danger to road traffic unless, Tolkien–like, they walked to the centre of the road.

Letters to our Mornington Peninsula Shire bureaucracy were to no avail. Immediately they leap to the defence of staff and contractors.

Mistakes must not be admitted.

What is really ridiculous is that straight after professional gardeners had restored our landscaped nature strips, including trimming trees for safety reasons, the terrorists struck the next day. Blind Freddie would not have wielded his chain saw as he would have seen the work had already been done.

You’ll love what we do

Love lost on pollies Loves makes a way. Not with (Liberal Flinders MP] Greg Hunt, it doesn’t. And the Labor party is not any better when it comes to the treatment of asylum seekers (“Police praised by evicted church group” The News 29/8/17).

I take my hat off to the compassionate activists from Love Makes a Way for their persistent activism.

I fear only from previous experience with Greg Hunt on environmental issues like Adani, the southern brown bandicoot, logging Tasmanian forests, or now in his new [health] portfolio, his government’s efforts to stop home visits by GPs, that his pretence of listening to constituents is just that, a slight of hand.

As usual, he’s a good team player, using the old “I’m just following orders and following party line” excuse very well.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Resident with feeling Desmond Bellamy, special projects coordinator PETA Australia writes about the cognitive abilities of fish, in some respects surpassing those of dogs and some primates (“Fish have feelings” Letters 29/8/17). Let us hope he knows his fish, because come the dreaded extra boat ramp at Rye those local fish might need to vamoose, make themselves scarce, as indeed we Rye residents will do, come the big noise tsunami, no thanks to our local Rye councillor.

Cliff Ellen, Rye

Unwelcome neighbours I write in regard to Mel Farnbach’s letter (“Protests show home isn’t always where the heart is” Letters 29/8/17) in which decries the actions of Brighton residents protesting about the proposed construction of a nine storey building to house the homeless.

No doubt Mel would welcome a construction of similar magnitude next door in Balnarring?

I would suggest no one, no matter how compassionate, would welcome a nine storey building in their suburb, whether it be Brighton, Balnarring or anywhere else.

Frankston Power Centre has all the major national brands you could possibly need to set up and decorate your home.

Whether stopping by Freedom, picking up some electrical appliances at The Good Guys or even preparing for the next camping trip at Anaconda, Frankston Power Centre has it all.

Man of his time: Painter John Singleton Copley is the subject of the talk.

Revolution artist AUSTRALIAN historian Emeritus Professor Peter McPhee AM will talk on “A Painter in Revolutionary Times: John Singleton Copley and the American Revolution, 1760-1780” at the Friday 8 September meeting of the Mornington Peninsula Australian and Decorative Fine Arts Society.

Members of ADFAS learn about the arts at the hour-long lectures at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington, 5.30pm, Fridays.

Professor McPhee’s lecture will examine the harrowing story of an outstanding portraitist caught in the divisions of the revolution. Copley, born in 1783 to poor Irish parents in Boston, became a highly sought after painter of the professional and mercantile elites of this small colonial port. Copley found himself caught between friends and family and, by 1774, had to make a choice which would change his life tragically and permanently.

The cost of the lectures to nonmembers is $20. New members welcome. Details: call 97872092.

The event will from 10am at Mornington Park, Schnapper Point Drive, Mornington. It will include a commemorative walk and ceremony for people to come together, share thoughts and stories, support each other, and raise awareness of mental health issues. Refreshments provided.

Power fault: An electrical fault is being blamed for a fire in a Balnarring Village shop, early Monday 4 September. Balnarring CFA captain Graeme Briggs said crews from Somers and Bittern helped put out the blaze at Peninsula Mapping and Laminating shop which they traced back to a power board. The 4am fire was contained to the Frankston-Flinders Rd shop which will probably need a full fit-out. Damage is estimated at $100,000.

Police patrol Graffiti arrests FIVE teenagers were arrested for defacing a toilet block at Mornington Park with graffiti, Tuesday 22 August. Sergeant Ray Box, of Mornington police, said the 14-16 year olds were given cautions with further inquiries pending. The teens allegedly used shoe polish and ink to daub slogans.

Police also arrested and cautioned two boys, aged 13 and 14, for graffiti offences at the Mt Eliza Centre, Jacksons Rd, Mt Eliza, Sunday 20 August. Sergeant Box said up to 10 teenagers were involved in daubing slogans on “brand new walls”.

Safety works WORKS to make The Esplanade from Disney St to Woolleys Rd, Crib Point, safer are expected to start early next year and be completed by mid-2018.

The improvements financed through the federal government’s Black Spot Program include road widening, shoulder sealing and safety barriers.

An evaluation of the program has found that fatal and casualty crashes are reduced at treated sites by 30 per cent.

The Crib Point site is one of 50 black projects in Victoria.

Burglary links A SERIES of overnight burglaries in Mornington and Mt Martha last week may have been committed by the same offenders, police say. They occurred 27-29 August.

ON THE COVER

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

INVITING, SECLUDED AND SPACIOUS MAKING a grand statement in style and design, this reassuringly private property is set deep within magnificent landscaped gardens on a superb double block measuring about 2225-square metres. The extensive landscaping was created by renowned peninsula designer, Andrew Stark and is maintained in part by an automated watering system and 32,000-litre water tank. Showcasing lush green lawns and fruit trees, there is immaculate hedging around the pool area and a selection of native grasses.

Enjoying an enviable beach side Mount Martha location that complements the welcoming coastal aesthetics of the home, there is a strong emphasis here on outdoor living with two superb entertaining zones oriented towards the solar and gas heated in-ground pool. A luxurious pool house is a real surprise and adds that extra dimension to what is already a sizeable and impressive property. Complete with a full kitchen and bathroom, the pool house also has air-conditioning.

From the vast undercover deck you step into a bright formal lounge with high ceilings, handsome polished timber floors and a gas log-effect heater. The timber floors extend to a dining area, and the adjoining kitchen has stainless-steel appliances – including a Bosch dishwasher and Miele double oven – and plenty of storage solutions are incorporated into a large island bench. To the east wing are three bedrooms with built-in robes that share the pristine main bathroom and an elegant master suite in the west wing features an immaculate bathroom with timber vanity and dual sinks and a spacious walk in wardrobe. n

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Memorial unveiled for killed pedestrian in Mornington Compiled by Cameron McCullough Unveiling of Alfred E. Bates Memorial.

In July last, at the suggestion of Mr Jas. Noble, who had the approval of the Mechanics’ Institute committee, the Mornington Progress Association (says the Post) resolved to erect a clock in the facade of the Mechanics’ hall as a public appreciation of their late hon. Treasurer, and as a lasting testimonial to his many estimable qualities as an exemplary citizen.

The progress association appointed the following gentlemen as a committee to give effect to the resolution: Messrs P. McArthur, R. Nunn, P. Olson, Jas Noble and F. M. Linley (hon treasurer), and no difficulty was experienced in raising the amount required.

On Tuesday, at 4.30 pm, about 200 persons were assembled by public announcement to witness the ceremony of unveiling the clock and a handsome brass tablet as a consummation of the work performed on behalf of the subscribers.

A dais was erected under the clock, in front of which were arranged two rows of chairs for the accommodation of the ladies of the Red Cross Society and the public Senator Geo. Fairbairn was invited to perform the ceremony, but was unable to be present.

Mr. L. J. Flannagan, president of the progress association, consequently was selected and presided at the gathering.

The Rev S. Sandiford, Mr F. M. Linley (hon treasurer), Crs R. Nunn, J. G. Barrett and P. McArthur, and Revs N. Webster and T. H. Woodford occupied seats on the platform.

Mrs and Misses Bates were present.

Mr F. M. Linley submitted a financial statement showing 102 subscribers responsible for £40 19s.

The disbursements were as follows: - Cost of clock and inscription plate, £32 15s; freight and incidental expenses (including ladder) £3 4s, and the balance to be kept in reserve for repairs and maintenance.

He then delivered a panegyric which spoke eloquently of the many public services through which they were indebted to the late hon treasurer, Mr Alfred E. Bates, who was a high-minded, great-hearted and openhanded citizen. Judged by the highest standard of commercial ability and integrity he was a top-quality man; he was so trusted, and his scrupulous exactness in business matters were so well known that almost every public body in the town sought him as its treasurer; he was gifted, with imagination and saw the “Mornington beautiful” of the future and worked for it as few would have done.

His sympathetic heart went out to our heroes in the trenches and he started a “tobacco fund” now being continued by his daughters.

The Rev S. Sandiford spoke of the late Mr Bates as a personal friend whose unselfishness and moral rectitude proved his exceptional worth.

He regretted that too often the good works of men departed were forgotten and their names lost in oblivion, and that their value and worth in this life were not fully appreciated until after their death.

In the history of Mornington there had been a few such, and he was particularly pleased to be present on

this occasion at the public recognition by a grateful community of the work done by The late Mr Bates.

Mr Flannagan spoke feelingly in sympathy with the remarks of the previous speakers, and concluded by unveiling the clock and then the tablet.

Before dispersing the National Anthem was sung.

Following is the inscription on the tablet, which is surmounted by a small shield bearing the monogram of the association. “M.P.A.” This Clock was erected by public subscription to commemorate the many services rendered to the town by Alfred E. Bates, Esq., J.P. August 1917. *** Our Letter Box. RE MOTOR. FATALITY AT FRANKSTON. TO THE EDITOR Sir, - In reference to the death of my son “Toby” who was killed by a motor car, on the Hastings road, Frankston, on Sunday last, I desire to express the deep gratitude of my wife, family and self, to the people of Frankston, Langwarrin Camp and the surrounding district, for what they have done for us.

Words can not express what we feel for the kindness shown, the more so as it came from those from whom we least expected it. - Yours etc.

FRANK F. ADDICOTT. *** Our Letter Box. RE MOTOR. FATALITY AT FRANKSTON. TO THE EDITOR Sir, - Now that a deplorable and fatal motor accident has, occurred in Frankston, is it not time that our Councillors took a hand and passed

a by-law restricting drivers of motor cars to a limited speed.

One has only to stand on the Melbourne road (on Sunday particularly) and wonder why motor accidents are not more numerous.

Some people want to know why Constable Ryan does not prosecute.

The Constable cannot do so unless a by-law is passed. The sooner it is passed the better for our children’s safety.—Yours respectively, JAMES HOCKING. *** A REPORT of the Somerville Fancy Dress ball, held on Wednesday evening will appear in our next issue. *** OUT of the four prizes awarded at the Somerville Fancy Dress Ball on Wednesday, three were brought home to Frankston. *** AT the meeting of Frankston and Hastings Council, held on Thursday, Cr Oates was elected President for the year. The allowance was fixed the same as last year. *** THE Treasurer of The Frankston District Roll of Honor Fund acknowledges with thanks the undermentioned Donations: Mr Edward McComb, “Black Billy” £1; Mr Jas Jolly, £1 1s. *** Now the eggs are getting plentiful Mrs Deane will be pleased to receive some for the sick boys at the Military Hospital, Langwarrin, and wishes to thank those who so generously donated eggs last season. *** THE secretary of the Frankston Branch of the Red Cross Society begs

to acknowledge the following donations.: - Per Miss Chrisp - Mrs Jas Grice, 20 eye bandages; Mrs Chrisp, 1 doz washers ; Mrs O’Loughlin, 1 pair socks. *** SERGT Hayward and Mrs Hayward entertained the juvenile members of the district at a birthday party in honor of their eldest child, last Saturday afternoon.

The children were entertained with games until refreshments were served, the centrepiece of which was a three tiered birthday cake.

The afternoon was pleasantly spent and terminated with pictures. *** WHAT might have proved a serious accident occurred just opposite the “Standard” office, on Saturday last, as the procession was approaching the saluting point for the second time.

Mr Wootton and Mrs Rudall were standing near a motor car, viewing the procession, when a horse attached to a jinker, took fright and bolted into them, knocking both down, the horse itself also falling and pinning Mr Wootton to the ground.

The army medical unit happened to be passing at the time and turned promptly out of the procession and rendered, assistance, rejoining the procession at a later stage.

Both of the sufferers by the accident received a severe shaking and bruising, but, fortunately, so far as we can discover, nothing more serious. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 8 September 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Things I’ve learned from a Two Year Old

By Stuart McCullough IT was a low-key kind of birthday.

Which, for someone turning two, is something of an achievement. Fact is, our dog Fozzie rarely makes a fuss. There were no gentle reminders, no birthday list. The days were not marked off on the calendar. Granted, the lack of opposable thumbs might have played a part in it, but she really seemed to keep a lid on things. Indeed, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it as just another day, choosing to stick to her routine rather than put on a song and dance.

I think the number of nicknames you have says much about the affection in which you’re held. Suffice to say, our dog Fozzie has a good deal many more nicknames than she’s had birthdays. There’s the simplicity of ‘the Fozz’, the futuristic ‘Fozzatron’, the mildly intimidating ‘Fozzinator’, the self-explanatory ‘Fozztastic’ and the name that really should come with a cape and a small black mask; ‘El Fozzo’. What’s interesting is that these are used not just by us but by friends, neighbors and various service providers also. It’s worth noting at this point that I have no nicknames. None at all.

Each day begins the same way.

When I get up and go for a run, she might lift a lazy eye but is otherwise unmoved. However, when I get back and start making breakfast, she always comes into the kitchen, at which point I let her outside. We then eat together, before she wanders off to get a little more shut-eye. After she eats her dry food, she likes to bug me for something else to eat. This, in our house,

AFL

has become known as ‘carrot time’.

Oddly, ‘carrot time’ has it’s own theme music. As soon as I start a rendition of the ‘carrot time’ theme song, the dog goes and sits on her mat and waits.

Dogs can be smart. Fozzie has

learned that certain items are of great importance and that if she takes them between the teeth and makes a run for it, chances are someone will end up in pursuit. Shoes, it seems, are a specialty. Various remote controls

have been kidnapped against their will from the couch and sequestered somewhere deep in the wilds of the backyard. Once, I couldn’t find my watch. Believing that I had misplaced it , I thought nothing more of it until it dawned at me whilst at work – the dog may have stolen it. This was later confirmed at home that evening when the dog appeared with my watch hanging from its lips, expecting that I should chase her.

The dog has a lot of stuffed toys. I’m almost ashamed to say that I bought none of them. They form part of the broader Fozzie universe and time has imbued each of them with their own distinct personalities as well as various rips, stains and tears. There’s Lord Ducky Duckton, who has a face that squeaks when you squeeze it. (Come to think of it, my face would probably squeak upon squeezing too.) There’s Justin Beaver and a creature my wife bought at the opp shop for two bucks simply known as ‘The Skanky Wombat’.

The dog really comes in to her own when we go walking. Being a larger dog, she’s still a bit of a rock star and seems to know who’s interested in giving her a pat and those who’d prefer to keep her distance. Not that she doesn’t have her fair share of enemies. Although she’s an incredibly friendly creature, she seems to have an acute aversion to high-vis work wear.

Mostly this manifests itself in frenzied barking whenever the mail arrives. My notebook bears the scars of this enmity after I was foolish enough to be holding her leash whilst drinking coffee at

a local café. The postman turned up and the dog had a lot to say, all whilst pulling on the lead and ensuring that the best part of a skinny flat white ended up spilled across the pages.

When I arrive home at night, the dog is often waiting at the front door. Apparently, she takes up position as the sun goes down and remains vigilant until my return. It makes for quite a greeting. She has, however, continued to attack the occasional book. Most recently, she chowed down Bruce Catton’s single volume history of the American Civil War, leaving the shredded text completely unreadable.

Which is terrible because now I don’t know how it ends. She’s also chewed on some Clive James and had just started to nibble of Tim Rogers’ new memoir before I intervened. She has, at least, got great taste in books.

She may be two, but we’ve had her for an even shorter time than that.

Fozzie is our first grown up dog and the first time I’ve ever had a pet that was allowed indoors. I’ll be honest and say that things haven’t turned out as I expected. In my mind, I thought the dog would live out in the backyard.

Instead, it seems she’s pretty much in charge of the house. The dog has, however, changed our lives for the better. I now routinely speak to strangers when out walking, something that would have been unthinkable in the pre-Fozz era. I look forward to an enthusiastic canine greeting when I come home.

Or when I get up. Or when I do pretty much anything. So thanks, Fozzatron.

And happy birthday. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

Caring for carers at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital A CARDIAC event can be a lifechanging occurrence in a person’s life. While the initial incident can be frightening it then often involves a significant period of rehabilitation to get back to work, exercise and all the things you enjoy doing! One of the lesser-considered impacts can be on those who are caring for the patients.

Wives, husbands, partners, daughters/ sons, or other family members can often find their own lives transformed, as they are required to provide support to their recovering loved-one. Being thrust into life as a carer also has its own challenges.

St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital provides a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program for people who have had an acute heart event. The program provides information, and guidance on how to recover from a heart event and improve an individual’s quality of life. The twice-weekly sessions combine exercise with education in a group setting. Family members and carers are also very welcome to attend the program and participate in the education sessions. The program is coordinated by our specialist Cardiac Rehabilitation Nurse, Emma Boston but includes expertise from our in-house physiotherapists, occupational therapists, exercise physiologist, doctors, socials workers and dietitian. This Multidisciplinary Team’s method combined with their approach to each patient and carers requirements, ensures the

patient’s individual needs are met and treatments initiated as required.

Beginning in 2017 Emma collaborated with the Pastoral Care team to introduce the provision of a session for carers only, concurrently with the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program but in a different space within the hospital. Carers could relax knowing that their loved one was being cared for by the specialist nurse, and then spend the time connecting and being supported by our Pastoral Care team. This is how the Cardiac Carers’ High Tea came into being!

The aim of the Carers’ High Tea is to create an ambient experience, so a quiet room with comfortable chairs, away from the busy gym, with a cuppa is the key. The carers group does not have a formal ‘program’ however the conversation is gently facilitated by our Pastoral Practitioners to enable carers to explore their own experience of being a carer – both the challenges and the joys! The opportunity to meet and share with others in a similar situation provides support in knowing they are ‘not alone’ in their feelings and situation. The word ‘exhausted’ is used frequently to describe how they are feeling. The Carers’ session is timed to conclude so they can then join in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program education session with their loved one.

As a result of the introduction of the Cardiac Carer’s High Tea, patients report they are appreciative that their Cardiac Carer could also receive some care and attention; with both patient and carer, each having reasons to attend the program.

Participants and patients have reported a 97% reduction in Carer distress.

St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital places high importance on whole person care – and this includes both patients and their families. As a result, there is no cost for carers to attend the Cardiac Carers High Tea. The Cardiac Carers’ High Tea is now a permanent feature of the Cardiac Rehabilitation program!

How do you attend our hospital?

Inpatients – Choose us to provide your rehabilitation after your acute hospital stay or you can come directly from home if you have a referral from your GP or Specialist.

Swayne in limbo after Pines loss PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt PINES Football Club appointed former Sorrento coach Nick Jewell as its senior coach on the night that it bowed out of the 2017 Peninsula Division finals race against Bonbeach.

However, just 24 hours later, Jewell informed the Pines FC club that he was no longer interested in the job.

Jewell was sounded out for the coaching position after Pines lost four games in a row after Aaron Edwards went down with a knee injury.

He was informed of his appointment in writing following Pines’ loss to Bonbeach on Saturday night and it was confirmed with him again on Sunday afternoon.

However, Pines coach Pat Swayne was not aware of the Jewell appointment until he arrived at the football to call the Frankston YCW v EdithvaleAspendale game on RPP FM on Sunday afternoon.

Jewell was strongly rumoured to be coaching Karingal next season with an announcement organised for the RPP Footy Show.

Karingal president Troy Callahan was notified via text message by Jewell on Sunday morning that he had accepted another role.

Nick Jewell spoke with Pat Swayne before RPP went to air on Sunday.

Given the confusion, Jewell decided to decline the offer that he previously had accepted.

Pines has communicated to its members that it is keen to continue talks with Swayne about coaching the club

next season. This could not be confirmed by Swayne or Pines FC before going to print.

But back to the footy and Bonbeach beat Pines for the first time in three years.

Since Sharks’ coach Steve Hughes arrived at the club at the beginning of the 2015 season, his side had never been able to beat the Pythons.

However, on Saturday at Chelsea, the Sharks were able to boot the final three goals of the game to record a narrow and tough nine-point victory, 11.10 (76) to 9.13 (67).

It was a game of two halves with 17 of the 20 goals coming from one end of the ground, such was the wind advantage.

Bonbeach could only manage one goal against the breeze in the opening quarter while the Pythons booted two against it in the second quarter. There wasn’t a goal kicked against the wind in the second half.

Pines led by 14 points at quarter time and by 12 points at three quarter time.

A seven-goal second quarter saw Bonbeach lead by a game-high 18 points at the major interval, while they managed three goals to a point in the final term.

Shane McDonald starred for the Sharks with four goals while Dylan Jones, who lowered his colors the last time the sides met, was outstanding.

Gavin Vassallo also showed his class and experience in big games with a flawless display and Jackson Casey was also at his best.

Steve Hughes said before the game

on the RPP Footy Show that his side needed to bounce back this week after a ‘poor showing’ against Edithvale the week before.

“I went through the tapes and I found only five players who did what they should have last week. That means there were 17 that didn’t,” Hughes said. I had plenty of text messages after last week apologising for their performance. I didn’t want any more apologies,” Hughes said.

Swayne said prior results had little to do with determining the result of a final.

“We hadn’t been able to beat Mt Eliza for years either and knocked them out last week,” Swayne said. It makes little difference what our previous results were against Bonbeach, we started the match nil-all.

“We were beaten by a better side today,” Swayne said.

Nick Boswell capped off an outstanding season for the Pythons with another dominant display while Dylan Smilie was superb in the ruck against Jones. Shane Waterstone booted three goals.

On Sunday, Frankston YCW advanced the Grand Final after beating Edithvale-Aspendale by 17 points.

The Stonecats set up the win with a five goal to two first quarter. Edithvale trailed by 28 points at three quarter time and kicked the first five points of the last quarter, before finishing with 1.6 to a point in the last.

The Eagles will play Bonbeach on Sunday at Frankston Park in the Preliminary Final.

Sharks steamroll Buds after a flying start NEPEAN LEAGUE

Picture: Andrew Hurst

By Toe Punt SORRENTO stormed into the 2017 MPNFL Nepean Division grand final on Saturday with a crushing victory over Rosebud.

Kicking with the aid of a five goal breeze in the opening quarter, the Sharks put Rosebud to the sword early, kicking its first goal inside 30 seconds from the first bounce and finishing the quarter with eight.

At quarter time, the game was done, 8.7 (55) to no score.

One Sorrento supporter said at the first change; “I wish it was a grand final, we could have a few beers now”, while a second supporter said “I think this is the best side I have seen in all of my time at the club.”

To make matters worse for Rosebud, star youngster Daniel Wilson popped a shoulder and was taken to hospital at quarter time.

The Sharks made five changes to the team that lost to Rosebud in the final home and away game of the season. Collingwood premiership player Chris Dawes, star key back Aaron Paxton, dependable defender Ryan Potter and exciting youngsters Zac Byrns and Chad Harris all came into the team.

Dawes booted four goals for the afternoon, however, took enormous pressure off Leigh Poholke (five goals) and Nick Corp (three goals).

Luke Tapscott absolutely dominated in the middle of the ground, along with skipper James Hallahan. They were given first use of the footy from Ryan Williams, who had the better of

Ben Dwyer in the ruck.

Absolute talent aside, the Sharks attack of the footy was ferocious and Rosebud was under enormous pressure from the first bounce.

Skipper James Hallahan said on the RPP Footy Show before the game that his side was “jumping out of its skin to play”. There was certainly plenty of evidence in that.

Rosebud finished with 4.7 (31) to Sorrento’s 18.14 (122). Jake Corrin booted two goals for the Buds and was his side’s best player, along with Sean Downie, while Lachy Mew did a great job on Corp and Tommy Stoffels took another major step in his development. Bart Wallace also did a good job on Dawes after he booted three first-quarter goals.

Rosebud coach Adrian McBean said before the game that his side would find it tough with Jackson McRae (hamstring) not playing.

“Jackson not coming up wasn’t great timing given Dawes came back in,” McBean said.

Rosebud will play Frankston Bombers in the Preliminary Final on Saturday at Frankston Park after the Bombers crushed Hastings by more than 10 goals, 14.17 (101) to 4.7 (31).

Jason Kingsbury was the best player on the ground for the Bombers with five goals.

It was Hastings premiership coach Brendan Dunne’s last day at the helm with Ricky Ferraro taking over in 2018.

Langy NPL-bound, last chance for Skye glory SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN clinched the State 1 South-East championship with a 3-1 win over Clifton Hill at Lawton Park on Saturday.

It was an historic moment as Langy became the first local club to win the right to compete in Victoria’s elite National Premier League competition.

Langy started the day two points clear of title challenger Mornington but Langy’s win and Mornington’s 0-0 draw at home to Malvern City clinched Gus Macleod’s first title triumph since 2004 and ended Mornington’s chances of an unprecedented State 1 threepeat.

Nerves were eased at Lawton Park when Alex Metcalfe’s shot was deflected past keeper Chris Davis by a Clifton Hill defender in the 63rd minute.

But Langy fans were back on tenterhooks a minute later when Andrew Goff was allowed to stroll through the Langy defence and hit a low shot from the left of the area past diving Langy keeper Robbie Acs for the equaliser.

Langy star Connor Belger was brought down inside the area in the 73rd minute and Metcalfe converted the resultant penalty and three minutes into time added Belger’s low left-foot strike from the edge of the area sealed the issue.

Langy players, coaching staff and supporters mingled together in the centre of the pitch until the result came through from the Mornington match and once it did they celebrated in style.

It was a fitting way for veteran goalscorer Caleb Nicholes to play his last home match having announced his retirement some time ago and no doubt he’ll figure prominently in next weekend’s final league game of the season.

Mornington’s failure to put Malvern keeper Jamie Greygoose under the cosh was to prove costly.

Home team keeper Kris McEvoy charged off his line in the 8th minute but didn’t win the ball and ex-Mornington player Brad Blumenthal couldn’t control his shot towards the unguarded goal.

In the 58th minute Mornington winger Keegan Ziada put Sammy Orritt through but Orritt blasted his shot over the bar and in the 68th minute an ineffective punch from McEvoy fell to the feet of Adam McKeon who shot wide.

Malvern defender Ryan Ratcliffe was forced to slide down and clear following a Ziada cross from the left

Title triumph: Senior coach Gus Macleod (left), captain Boris Ovcin (centre) and club president John Heskins celebrate Langwarrin’s success on Saturday. Picture: Gemma Sliz in the 71st minute and Ken Kilmurray’s cross from the right in the 84th minute was headed high and wide by Blumenthal at the back post.

In the 91st minute Wayne Gordon swung over a corner from the left as Mornington players queued up at the back post only for substitute Nathan Smith to sky his first-time volley.

When referee Ioannis Zisis blew for full-time Mornington gaffer Adam Jamieson sank to his haunches knowing that his arch rival had claimed the ultimate prize.

Peninsula Strikers have dug a huge hole for themselves after Sunday’s 4-0 loss at home against North Caulfield and are now staring relegation from State 2 South-East squarely in the face.

The damage was done in the second half as North Caulfield will o’ the wisp Yonnie Lipshatz ran amok with goals in the 61st and 88th minutes and an assist for Oran Harel’s goal in the 79th minute.

Benji Schneider was North Caulfield’s other scorer.

Seaford’s State 2 South-East season of misery continued with a 7-0 loss at home to Berwick City on Saturday while Frankston Pines went down 2-1 away to Heatherton United on Saturday night.

Skye United is set for a State 3 South-East promotion showdown against Brandon Park after a comfortable 3-0 away win over Collingwood City last weekend.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

Brandon Park defeated Brighton 3-2 but Skye clings on to second spot with a plus 32 goal difference over Brandon Park’s plus 31 goal difference.

Skye winger Jason Nowakowski was brought down by Collingwood custodian David Herman in the 5th minute and Skye captain Mark O’Connor converted from the spot to make it 1-0.

In the 10th minute a bizarre altercation between an assistant referee and the Collingwood coach in the technical area resulted in substitute Bailey Reid being sent off from the bench.

It took until the 42nd minute for Skye to strike again as Nowakowski sent through striker Daniel Attard who made no mistake to make it 2-0.

From the restart O’Connor won possession and his deflected through ball found Attard one-on-one again and the big striker curled his finish around Collingwood keeper David Herman to make it 3-0.

From that point on the result was never in doubt and Skye keeper Jonathon Crook spectacularly tipped over a long range drive late in the contest which was destined for the top corner, a save that may prove crucial to the season’s outcome.

Rosebud Heart lost 2-0 away to Harrisfield Hurricanes on Saturday but a bigger loss was the announcement from senior coach Scott Morrison that he would be stepping down at season’s end.

“It’s been an amazing two years at the Heart. It is a fantastic club with fantastic people and we achieved unbelievable things last year then reached our goal this year of staying up,” said Morrison.

“We have had seven players out from the start of the season, six of them with season-ending injuries and I firmly believe if they had stayed healthy we would’ve been in the top three.

“The reason for stepping down was mostly based on family as the time that goes into coaching is hours upon hours and in the last two years my son has gone from knee height to hip height and I feel that it just flew past me.

“You never say never when it comes to next season but a rest first and some family time and then we’ll see what happens.”

Six minutes into Saturday’s game Harrisfield took the lead after a loose ball was hit sweetly from just over 20 metres by Nicholas Corsini straight into the top corner.

After that it was predominantly one-way traffic with gun scorer Dave Greening unusually failing to convert three clear-cut chances.

Then a long ball by Harrisfield in the 34th minute wasn’t properly cleared by Callum Richardson allowing a Harrisfield player to break through into a one-on-one with Heart keeper Sean Skelly before passing to Antonio Bruno who finished into a open net.

Bruno was clearly offside but the assistant referee failed to flag and the goal stood.

Heart continued to dominate possession in the second half but had no joy in front of goal.

Monash Uni easily accounted for visitor Baxter 4-1 in their State 4 South fixture on Saturday.

There was little to report from a Baxter perspective other than a left hook that Conor McGregor would have been proud of which escaped the notice of the match officials.

Alan Lipsett scored for Baxter.

Somerville Eagles went down 5-0 in their State 5 South away clash with Rowville Eagles last weekend while Southern United came away from Olympic Village on Saturday with a 2-1 win over Heidelberg United in their NPLW fixture.

Rita Mankowska gave the home team a 15th minute lead but Southern’s Mikhaila Bowden equalised with a fine individual effort six minutes later.

The winner came in the 81st minute via an excellent interpassing move involving Courtney Heuston, Elisabeth Rovers and Jessica Au with Southern captain Candy Ferreyra-Bas finishing in style with a firm strike into the roof of the net.

Earlier in the day Southern’s championship winning under-13s tuned up for their looming finals campaign with a 2-1 win against Heidelberg.

Candy Kilderry and league top scorer Rhys McKenna scored in the second half to put Southern in control while Heidelberg’s response came from the penalty spot through Olivia Triantafillidis.

Southern’s under-15s drew 1-1 with Mackenzie Hicks getting Southern’s equaliser after Rosie Thyer had given Heidelberg a half-time lead while the under-18s went down 1-0 to Heidelberg whose winner came from Chloe Romero.

Community rallies for junior player

By Ben Triandafillou THE Better Tennis community donned footy guernseys last week in support of one of their junior players who earlier this year was diagnosed with leukaemia.

Combining with their ‘Epic Rally Week’ fundraiser and the Fight Cancer Foundation’s ‘Footy Colours Week’, Better Tennis raised more than $5000 in support of eight-year-old Dzan Tanovic, with more donations to be counted.

Tanovic was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in February and has been in hospital ever since undergoing bone marrow transplants.

The cancer progressed quickly with signs showing almost immediately, according to Mt Eliza tennis coach David Laird.

“We had a tennis lesson on a Thursday early in the year where he looked a bit fatigued but I just put it down to him starting back at school,” he said.

“He came back the following day and looked a little worse. You could tell he just wasn’t himself.”

The next week Tanovic was diagnosed with the cancer.

Laird said Tanovic had always been a strong boy but “you wouldn’t even be able to tell what Dzan has been going through if you didn’t know otherwise”.

“I talked to him on Tuesday and he seems like he’s coping pretty well – he’s a super tough kid,” Laird said.

“It’s great to see the whole community getting behind him.

“I’ve coached him since he was in prep and he really is one of the keenest kids I have taught.”

Footy guernseys were worn throughout the week with many juniors wearing them during their lessons at both the Mt Eliza Tennis Club and Frankston Tennis Club.

Collingwood midfielder Adam Treloar also made an appearance at the Mt Eliza Tennis Club on Monday 28 August and signed autographs and took pictures to help raise support.

Better Tennis hope the funds will help with his recovery and see him back of the court in no time.

Dzan’s the man: Mt Eliza junior tennis player, Dzan Tanovic, receives support from the community after being diagnosed with leukaemia.

Edi-Asp kick-start future AFLW careers

By Sasha Pursell EDITHVALE-Aspendale Football club is paving the way for future AFLW stars.

Over the past few weeks the bayside club has played a key role in the development of Collingwood AFLW’s latest recruit and code-switch athlete Eliza Hynes.

The Bendigo-born, Australian volleyballer was signed on as a rookie with the Collingwood AFL Women’s team in May this year.

At the start of August, the 25-yearold began training with the senior women’s team at Edi-Asp in preparation for the upcoming AFLW pre-season.

In Round 13, the 183-cm ruckman made her Australian rules debut in Eagles’ colours, playing firstly in the women’s reserves before being bumped up to the senior squad the following week.

With Collingwood AFLW coach Wayne Siekman watching on from the sidelines, Hynes cut a formidable figure on the field with her highflying leap and strong kicking and proved instrumental in the Eagles’ nail-biting win over reigning premiers Mornington.

Following the match, a grateful Hynes was presented with a token Eagles jumper from her teammates.

What followed was a heartfelt speech to the club that helped kick-start her AFL career.

Women’s Senior Coach Luke Aston said there are hopes of further establishing a relationship between Edithvale-Aspendale and the Collingwood AFLW team.

“I want my girls to know that they don’t have to play for a VFL club in order to be noticed by the AFLW,” he said.

In only its second year, the Edithvale-Aspendale women’s team is fast making a name for itself with over 50 girls pulling on the boots in 2017. The club now has two women’s teams playing in SEWF Division 2 and the SFNL Development league respectively.

Hundreds of supporters descended on Regents Park for the season-ender between the fifth-placed Eagles and reigning premiers Mornington on Saturday 19 August.

It was an arm-wrestle from start to

finish with the margin never exceeding a point between each break.

Eagles captain Erin Meade and centre half-back Bridget Hanrahan played their part in keeping the usually dominant Bulldogs’ forward-line quiet in what was a low-scoring affair.

With the scores dead-even late in the penultimate quarter, Eagles forward Nicola Deacon broke through the pack to deliver a bouncing ball between the goals and put the Eagles in front for the first time all day.

The Eagles then dug in to hold off a late surge from Mornington to notch

up a four-point victory.

Despite again narrowly missing finals Aston said that it was another amazing season, both on and off the field.

“Every player improved and contributed and felt part of it. With some of the injuries and stuff we had, we did really well.”

Edi-Asp’s pre-season is expected to start back in November. They welcome any new female recruits that want to come down and have a kick.

By Ben Triandafillou PENINSULA Boxing will have three representatives heading to the National Boxing Championships in November after a successful week of boxing around the world.

Representing Australia, heavyweight boxer Jason Whateley faced Olympic and World champion boxers at the AIBA World Championships in Hamburg, Germany last week.

Starting with a bye in the opening round, Whateley moved on to the second round to face Indian Olympic boxer Sumit Sangwan.

Whateley stormed home in the second and third rounds to secure his victory, almost stopping Sangwan before the final bell with an eight count in the last round and headed towards the quarter finals.

Facing Rio Olympics silver medallist and world no. 3 Vasilli Levit in the final, Whateley held his ground to the final bell but was defeated in a point’s decision.

Standing by Whateley’s side, Peninsula Boxing head-coach Marcos Amado said he fought a great fight to finish up with the world’s best.

“He defeated Sangwan very well and that put him up into the top eight,” Amado said.

“Coming up against the Rio Olym-

pian from Kazakhstan in the quarters was tough. It was a seesaw fight, he’s a very hard boxer but [Whateley] did a great job and really gave it his all.”

Peninsula Boxing was also represented by Jack Gipp and April Franks at the Elite Victorian Championships at the Reggio Calabria Club, Brunswick on Sunday 27 August.

18-year-old Jack Gipp showed he is a boxer to be reckoned with after taking out the state title for the first time in open category.

Notching up his sixth state title under Coach Marcos Amado, Gipp will now prepare for the National Championships and attempt to qualify for the Commonwealth Games.

“I would say he’s up there with some of the top boxers in Australia.

He’s only 18 and going up against boxers who are 26-28 and much more experienced,” Amado said.

“He won his final quite convincingly and April only narrowly lost in the final.”

Franks picked up a silver medal at the state titles in a tight decision which could have gone either way.

All three boxers will now prepare for the national championships in NSW later in November where Whateley and Gipp will attempt to qualify for the Commonwealth Games.
