Arts, culture for youth summit
AN “ice-breaker activity” for students at Willum Worrain’s youth summit involved throwing woollen balls in Aboriginal colours to each other to create a cobweb representing their connections across the region. Picture: Supplied
THE Willum Warrain gathering place in Hastings hosted an arts and culture-themed Aboriginal youth summit on Friday 1 April. Secondary school students from across the Mornington Peninsula were greeted at the start with a Welcome to Country from Uncle Mick Edwards. This was followed by performances by dancer Natarsha Bamblett and singer/didge-player Mitch Tambo. The summit was the second of three youth summits financed by the Willum Buckland Foundation and supported by youth teams from Mornington Peninsula Shire, Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency and headspace Hastings as well as Koori education support officers. Peter Aldenhoven, Willum Warrain’s men’s business officer, said the event gives Aboriginal youth the chance to connect with each other, building resilience and a collective identity. “We want all our young mob grown up strong in culture so they can become our leaders of the future,” he said.
COVID alert for councillors, officers Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au RAPID antigen tests were provided to Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors and executives last week after they attended a meeting alongside a councillor who later tested positive to COVID-19. Shire CEO John Baker alerted councillors and officers to the case in an email on Wednesday 30 March, the day after the meeting at the shire’s Rosebud offices. Within days one of the executive officers also tested positive to COVID. “The current advice is that we do not need to isolate unless we have symptoms or we test positive via a RAT,” Mr Baker said in an email to councillors and senior officers.
He said the group had spent less than four hours with the infected councillor “and consequently are not classed as close work contacts” but advised it was “prudent” to get tested. Mr Baker said the tests could be collected by councillors on Thursday morning but added “obviously do not come in tomorrow if you have any symptoms”. Notification of the councillor’s diagnosis came on the same day the shire issued a news release warning that “COVID-19 infections are on the rise again on the Mornington Peninsula” and it was “time to get your COVID booster shot to ensure you are fully protected ahead of the [Easter school] holidays”. “We all have family, friends and colleagues that have either had COVID-19 or have had to isolate as a
household contact. It can be a difficult time,” the unattributed news release stated. On Sunday, the peninsula was listed as having 1730 active COVID-19 cases, 241 higher than the previous day. Cr Gill told The News he asked the mayor, Cr Anthony Marsh, if he could be excused from physically attending briefings at the shire’s Rosebud offices due to the risks posed by COVID-19. Cr Gill sought permission to attend online, in the same way council meetings had been held throughout last year’s lockdowns. Cr Gill said Cr Marsh had told him he disliked “hybrid” meetings and told Cr Gill to physically attend all meetings or attend them all online. Cr Gill acknowledged there had been technical problems with online
meetings, but felt briefings should fall into a different category to public council meetings where councillors were required to vote. He said he had worn a mask and distanced himself from other people in the room during Wednesday’s prebudget briefing. He said one councillor – since diagnosed as COVID positive – “was frequently coughing” during the meeting. A council officer sitting next to the councillor had also since tested positive “but you don’t know if that’s where he caught it”. “I am more susceptible to COVID than others and I want to limit my exposure,” Cr Gill said. “I asked to be given a code to [gain online access] to last Wednesday’s and other non-voting meetings, but
this was refused. I went unwillingly to where, as has been shown, there was a COVID-positive person.” Cr Marsh has been contacted for comment. The shire’s people and culture manager Kelly Gillies said the shire had “clear protocols” in line with health department requirements and advice if councillors or staff tested positive to COVID-19. “This includes informing all identified workplace contacts, monitoring of symptoms, and recommending daily rapid antigen testing for five days. We do not provide information about specific cases, in line with health privacy requirements,” she said. “This includes cleaning guidelines when a confirmed COVID-19 person attended the setting in the previous 72 hours.”

Fire aboard hydrogen ship Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au AN investigation is under way into a fire aboard the hydrogen gas ship Suiso Frontier less than one day after arriving at Hastings. A flame was spotted from the exhaust of a gas combustion unit on the ship’s deck after the ship had been loaded with a cargo of liquefied hydrogen. Hastings is an essential part of the $500 million brown coal-to-hydrogen project being conducted by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and partly underwritten with $50m each from the state and federal governments. The Suiso Frontier was purpose built for the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain (HESC) pilot project and its delivery of hydrogen to Kobe, Japan from Hastings on 25 February was hailed as being a world first (“Cheers and jeers greet hydrogen ship” The News 25/1/22). The fire aboard the ship occurred at about 10.45pm on 25 January and is classed as a “serious incident” by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB). The ATSB expects its investigation into the fire to be completed sometime after June. The initial report on the bureau’s website states that the combustion unit was “immediately shutdown [after the flame was seen] and isolated before the crew implemented the fire prevention response
THE hydrogen tanker Suiso Frontier makes its way down Western Port to be loaded at Hastings in January. Picture: Gary Sissons plan”. “No further abnormalities were reported and there were no injuries, damage or pollution. As part of the investigation, the ATSB will interview relevant persons and obtain other evidence, including recorded data,” the
report states. “Should a critical safety issue be identified at any time during the investigation, the ATSB will immediately notify operators and regulators so appropriate and timely safety action can be taken. A final report will be pub-
lished at the conclusion of the investigation.” Julia Stockigt, of Save Westernport, said the group - now celebrating the first anniversary over AGL’s withdrawal of plans for a gas import terminal at Crib Point - “has always been con-
cerned about the hydrogen liquification plant” at Hastings. “Since Planning Minister Richard Wynne called the project ‘an essential project for Victoria’ in 2019, it has enabled the facility to avoid the scrutiny of an environment effects statement to assess its safety and other impacts,” Ms Stockigt said. “It’s worth noting that the experimental hydrogen facility hosted by BlueScope is one of a number of major hazard facilities in the vicinity of Long Island Point … and this area in Bayview Road is within close range of the residential areas of Hastings. “It also concerns us that the safety breach onboard Suiso Frontier appears not to have been reported to the public at the time.” Environment groups say there are other ways to produce hydrogen that do not involve releasing CO2 stored in brown coal although those production methods would not provide jobs in the Latrobe Valley or open up a new way to exploit one of Victoria’s natural resources. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s then mayor, Cr Sam Hearn, two years ago said that making hydrogen from brown coal was “not good” unless its proponents could “tick off all environmental concerns” (“Emergency’ issues may hit port” The News 3/3/20). He said politicians “need to think 50 years ahead” instead of initiating new fossil fuel projects.

Advocacy for arts and culture Watson: Cr Paul Mercurio AM The Mornington Peninsula has the fourth highest participation rate in arts and culture in Victoria, yet we don’t have the infrastructure to showcase and grow this vital part of our economy. Now more than ever we need the connection that a strong creative community provides. We are advocating to state and federal governments for $500,000 funding for a feasibility study for a new performing arts theatre on the Peninsula. We know there is strong support for this. Community trust Red Hill: Cr David Gill As councillors we are elected to represent you. Voters delegate much local decision making to their ward councillors and Council as a whole, trusting us to make responsible decisions on your behalf based on the merits of each matter raised. Meaningful consultation and listening are the basis for a solid connection with community. If Council operates as an elite Board of Directors and is not seen as working in a community partnership, trust in the local government system may be lost.

No smoking, for wine’s sake PROPERTY owners and farmers on the Mornington Peninsula are being asked to delay burning off until after the grape harvest. The CFA lifted fire restrictions on 28 March, but it could be late April or May before all grapes have been picked. Mornington Peninsula Wine CEO, Olivia Barrie said grapes were susceptible to “smoke taint” which could affect their quality and flavour. “For the next few weeks, vineyard nets will be coming off vineyards, grapes harvested, and our wineries will be processing this year’s vintage of wines,” she said. “We know there have been many fallen trees from storms in the spring and early summer, however this build-up of material [if burned] will create significant smoke, impacting directly on the quality and value of the region’s wine.
“Wet or green material will generate even more smoke.” Ms Barrie said the wine community would be “incredibly grateful” if burning was held off. The peninsula has 1200 hectares of vineyards and annually produces about 4000 tonnes of grapes. However, this year’s harvest is down on previous year’s due to weather events, although the quality is reportedly “impressive”. Half of the grapes are used to make pinot noir, followed by chardonnay, 25 per cent; pinot grigio/gris, 15 per cent; and other varieties such as shiraz and riesling, fruilano, gewurztraminer making up the remaining 10 per cent. All material prepared for burning must be registered online at firepermits.vic. gov.au or call 1800 668 511 or email burnoffs@esta.vic.gov.au Keith Platt
‘World class trail’ falls short by $35m
Trail blazers: Members of Mornington Peninsula Rotary clubs have offered to help provide infrastructure to the 100 kilometre plus Peninsula Trail, such as this picnic table on the trail off Craigie Road, Mount Martha being used by Ross Kilborn, Anne Shaw, Carol Allen and Bill Cummins .

ALTHOUGH billed as destined to be one of “the great walking and cycling trails of the world”, the Peninsula Trail remains years and at least $35 million away from of being completed. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council says work will start in March 2023 and end in April 2024 on the Somerville-Baxter section, but no date has been set to complete other “missing links”. About half of the trail is in place. Meanwhile, the peninsula’s “cluster” of eight Rotary clubs has decided to get involved as part of their Australian Centenary Project. Each club will be involved by installing benches, picnic tables, barbecues and bike stands. Assistant district governor Peter Rawlings said Rotary’s brand will appear across all council material and signage. The Peninsula Trail, when completed, will be a network of around 100 kilometres of trails connecting communities and tourist attractions. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has committed $10 million the $50 million project, the state government $3 million and federal government $2 million. Council has identified the Peninsula Trail as a major COVID-19 recovery project, estimating it will bring $111 million in direct economic output and creating more than 250 full-time equivalent jobs during construction phase. Mr Rawlings said clubs had been working on the “exciting” project for three years, but the idea of the linking trail had been floating around for about 30 years. “We know it might take 10 years to complete, but nearly three years since it kicked off we are buoyed by progress to date,” he said. “And so far, it has avoided any major delays

due to COVID.” Mornington Rotary Club member and chair of the working group, Ross Kilborn said hoped the rest of money “can be secured”. Rotarians hoped the trail could eventually reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions, consistent with the service clubs’ new area of focus, environmental sustainability. According to community feedback to the council’s budget, footpaths and walking trails are a priority for peninsula communities, drawing most online votes. In addition, community consultation involving 3000 residents in 2021 identified better walking and cycling infrastructure as a community priority. A news release issued by the shire stated predicted the completed Peninsula Trail “will take its place among the great walking and cycling trails of the world such as the Route de Vins in France”. “It will connect to Melbourne’s Bay Trail, enabling cyclists to travel off road from the centre of Melbourne to the tip of the Mornington Peninsula at Portsea, with another branch running along Western Port to Balnarring and the hinterland.” The same news release quoted the mayor Cr Anthony Marsh as saying the trail had the potential to attract off-peak and mid-week tourists and more evenly disperse them across the peninsula”. “[The trail] will offer exciting new opportunities for guided walking and cycling tours of the peninsula’s vibrant food, wine and art scene. It will also unlock the potential for eco-tourism, as well as Aboriginal cultural and historic tours.” Details at facebook.com/thepeninsulatrail or shape.mornpen.vic.gov.au/peninsula-trail Keith Platt and Liz Bell

School marks its 150th HASTINGS Primary School recently celebrated 150 years of education, helped along by community organisations and businesses. After more than two years interrupted by COVID restrictions, current and past students, families and staff were finally able to come together to enjoy the nostalgia and fun. After an official opening ceremony, many people participated in the historical landmarks tour and enjoyed the extensive historical museum, student photos through the years and the gallery of current students’ work. The school was established formally in 1872,
aligning with the state government’s education Act of the same year. Displays also included the contents of time capsules buried in 1985 for Victoria’s 150th celebration. Rolling media presentations from past student interviews and current students sharing their thoughts and experiences about school life were available on big screens to view throughout the day. The published 150-year celebration booklet containing the school’s historical timeline can still be obtained from the school whilst stocks last.

Neighbours fear of ‘ghetto-like’ housing Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au CAPEL Sound residents who fear their suburb is being used as a dumping ground for community housing are demanding answers from the Mornington Peninsula Shire about the type of housing likely to be built. The residents have formed an action group and want the shire to spread community housing “evenly” around the shire. The shire has proposed affordable housing projects at four sites around the peninsula, with one being 11a Allambi Avenue, Capel Sound. Residents say they have been told “nothing” about the project, despite submissions closing more than two weeks ago. Spokesperson Jim Fleming said the group wanted to know what type of housing was proposed, how many dwellings were likely to be built, what parkland would be included, and what would be the main access road to the estate. “Why is it so difficult for shire to answer our question as to why other land they own across the peninsula, with the exception of Mornington, Capel Sound and Hastings, has not been considered,” he said. Mr Fleming said research proved that spreading affordable housing across areas was more advantageous to the people being housing. In a letter to the council, Mr Fleming asked whether it had consulted with police to get an insight into the rise in crime statistics “when ghetto-type housing is proposed”.

“As residents and ratepayers, we feel we are entitled to inclusion on any proposals regarding this development,” he said. “The impact it will have on our lives, access to already stretched services and destruction of bushland habitat is very concerning to us.” The mayor Cr Anthony Marsh has previously stated that the primary responsibility for paying for social and affordable housing rests with the state government. “Council will continue to advocate to the government to ensure that a proper investment is made in social and affordable housing across the peninsula,” he said. “In the meantime, we are acting on our Triple A Housing Plan 2020-2030 and the community vision by proposing to use council land for housing partnership projects to support affordable housing. “We have identified sites across the peninsula, including in Hastings, Mornington, Rosebud and Capel Sound. “At this stage of the process we are simply seeking the community’s feedback around their views on affordable housing, the proposed model and important site-specific considerations. “We have also invited housing providers to submit expressions of interest, as the experts in service provision for these types of projects. “As we are in the early consultation stage, no council decision has been made yet. After considering the community’s feedback, council will be in a good position to decide whether the project should proceed to the next step.”

THANK YOU
F linders
To the people of the Mornington Peninsula, it has been an honour and a privilege to serve you as your federal member of Parliament over the last 21 years.
Together we have achieved great things on the Peninsula, improving the water quality at Gunnamatta Beach; securing the long-term future of HMAS Cerberus; preserving the quarantine station at Point Nepean as a public park; developing Somerville Secondary College; and helping make the YAWA Aquatic Centre a reality.
While we have achieved, there is more work to be done - working together on our Plan for the Peninsula for projects including completing Jetty Rd, the Rosebud Hospital, Somerville Bike Track, protecting Arthur’s Seat and completing the Mornington comprehensive cancer centre. Zoe McKenzie is putting her hand up to continue fighting for the Flinders community. I’ll be working with her day in and day out to help her succeed me as the Member for Flinders and to continue the work in supporting our wonderful community.

Top golfers in Gunnamatta line up A FIELD of 108 will contest the $200,000 National PGA Classic from Tuesday to Friday on The National’s reworked Gunnamatta course at Cape Schanck. Players include Fortinet Australian PGA championship winner, Jed Morgan, of Queenslander, who is likely to earn playing rights next season on the DP World Tour in Europe. Following this week’s 72-hole event at The National there are just three more tournaments – two in Western Australia in April and another in the Northern Territory in May – to complete the season. The National has three courses at Cape Schanck and, while seen as
world class, rarely hosts tournaments being primarily a member-based club. The Gunnamatta course, opened in 2019 and previously known as the Ocean course, was reshaped by American architect Tom Doak. It has never hosted a professional tournament. “Our members know how proud we are of the way our courses are presented each day so we had no hesitation in putting our hand up to host the first The National PGA Classic and play a part in supporting the professional golfers in this country who like many in our community, have been affected so much throughout the pandemic,” club captain John
d’Apice said. “We also see this as a wonderful opportunity to showcase the course to some of Australia’s best professionals. “We couldn’t be more pleased with the work Tom Doak and his team have done on the Gunnamatta course and I’m sure many of our members will enjoy seeing how the pros play it.” Entry for each of the four days is free.

A 32-year-old Rye man was killed when his car struck a tree on Melbourne Road at Rye in the early hours of Thursday 31 March. It is believed the driver and sole occupant lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the tree about 12.15am. He died at the scene. Anyone with dashcam footage or further information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at
Aggravated burglary SOMERVILLE detectives are seeking information or CCTV footage that will help in the investigation of an aggravated burglary on Sunday night (3 April) in Lomica Avenue, Hastings, where thieves stole two cars. Senior Sergeant Eddie Lagonda of Somerville CIU said the offenders entered the house and took the car keys while the owners were asleep. The thieves then made off with a Mitsubishi ASX and a Volkswagen Golf. Anyone who may have seen anything or have CCT footage should phone Somerville CIU on 59781300 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Monkey business On Tuesday 29 March Somerville Highway Patrol targeted the illegal use of monkey bikes around Hastings and Crib Point. At 12.30pm a monkey bike was found hidden in bush near the intersection of Hodgins and Frankston-Flinders roads, Hastings, and impounded. One hour later police were at Crib Point following reports of youths causing trouble on motor bikes near the football oval. Four motor bikes were subsequently impounded at a cost of $895 each and four youths will be summonsed at a later date for offences including unlicensed driving, use unregistered motor vehicle, drug driving and refuse oral fluid test related offences. A fifth rider in Crib Point dumped his monkey bike and fled. That bike was also impounded. Anyone with information about people riding monkey bikes or other unregistered vehicles on public roads should phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Flare missing CRIB Point Fire Brigade is seeking public help to locate a missing E-flare. The brigade uses the flares like witches’ hats, often to create safety zones around car accidents or downed power lines. The missing flare was being used to indicate to other appliances which gate to use to access an unattended bonfire. When members returned to collect the device it was missing, possibly picked up by a member of the public by mistake. The brigade is asking for anyone who knows where it is to private message them on Facebook. They are also asking the community to keep an eye out, as it may have been dumped around Crib Point.
Gates of hope open for kangaroos Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au HUNDREDS of kangaroos trapped on a private property at Cape Schanck are being offered a chance to escape back to the neighbouring national park. The kangaroos have lived on the Cape Schanck property for years but were trapped late last year by high fencing that did allow them a way out. The kangaroos were also caught in a web of bureaucratic argument - which saw the issuing and later rescission of a licence to kill them - between the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Environment, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, animal activists and the property’s manager Ken Neff. Mr Neff says he feels stuck between a “rock and a hard place” and just wants the best outcome for the kangaroos, while still being able to use the land for market gardening, as intended. He said he had received death threats and been painted as the “evil protagonist”, but that DELWP had only given him the option of culling the kangaroos. “They won’t allow me to herd the animals out, so what option am I left with?” he said. “I really want the best outcome for the kangaroos, but I have been given few options”. In a last ditch effort to get the kangaroos to leave, he has now peeled back fencing in two spots as “escape routes” and installed a gate to allow the kangaroos to leave. However, as herding was still banned, he said the cull option was still on the table as a last resort. “Hopefully, if that eventuates, the noise and movement of people will force most of the kangaroos to leave,” he said.
A one-way gate, as earlier suggested, was not an option “at this stage”, he said, as it would take too long for the kangaroos to learn to use it and risked separating mothers from their joeys. “I hope the kangaroos leave, because that’s the best welfare option,” Mr Neff said. Mary Waterman, from Save the Kangaroos of Mornington Peninsula, said volunteers were “greatly relieved” to see that a gate had been opened and small sections of the wildlife exclusion fencing rolled back. She said there was evidence that the kangaroos may already be moving back to their home range in the Greens Bush section of Mornington Peninsula National Park. But she said it did not make sense that Mr Neff was now refusing to install the one-way gates, which DELWP had agreed to pay for. “Ideally, we want to see the one-way gates put in place, because now they will just go back and forth,” she said. “One-way gates will ensure that the kangaroos leave the property and do not return. “With the current arrangements of open gates and fences some kangaroos may remain on the property and others may go back in to be with their mob. “The land manager had agreed to install oneway gates as offered by shire CEO John Baker, to allow the gentle release of the kangaroos. However, DELWP has advised us that he has now changed his mind. We do not know why. “We need wildlife cameras in place to monitor what the kangaroos are doing, also offered by the shire” Ms Waterman said evidence showed that all kangaroos would safely leave the property once they were confident to use the gates. “It may take a number of weeks for this to happen … patience and monitoring of the situation will be essential now.”
THE wire has finally been lifted to allow kangaroos to return to the Mornington Peninsula Peninsula National Park from a private property at Cape Schanck. Picture: Supplied

The event saw car, art and food and wine enthusiasts view about 100 of concours and preservationstate cars. Pt Leo Estate, home to a $70 million art collection, was kept by the Gandel family as a winery and private retreat for many years but is now a sculpture park with 330 hectares of landscaping featuring works by Australian and overseas artists. Together with her husband John, Pauline Gandel has combined a knowledge of sculpture parks around the world with an eye for major works to build a collection

that is claimed to be unrivalled in Australia. Vehicles on show ranged from the early 1900s brass era to modern supercars, some worth more than $20 million. The concours aimed to showcase the history of the automobile in its context of sporting and artistic merit. Estate general manager Roger Lancia said the Motorists Concours d’Elégance was an opportunity to show international visitors how diverse tourism is on the peninsula. “It was also a great opportunity to extend the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix carnival by a week and, most importantly, to regional Victoria,” he said.

Josephine returns to public prominence Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au A RARE portrait of Josephine Bonaparte stolen from The Briars historic property at Mount Martha in 2014 is now back on public view. The tiny portrait was one of 10 priceless Napoleon Bonaparte artefacts stolen from The Briars Museum, but the only one recovered after it appeared recently on an online selling site. It was reinstated as a key piece in the Napoleon Bonaparte exhibition at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Art Gallery on Thursday. The miniature portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte’s wife Josephine was allegedly discovered online by a Sydney art dealer who bought it on eBay for $250 before realising it was one of the items stolen eight years ago. Leigh Capel said he was stunned when he realised the portrait had been stolen and immediately contacted the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, which has been home the rest of the Napoleon collection following the 2014 theft. Items taken from the collection during the 2014 theft included locks of Napoleon’s hair and a silver inkwell set with three gold Napoleons that were allegedly in his pocket when he died. Gallery collections curator Narelle Russo said it was fabulous to get the portrait back, but sadly there was no news of the nine missing items. The collection of artefacts was

put together by Dame Mable Brooks, who was the great-granddaughter of early Mount Martha settler Alexander Balcombe, who had family ties to the French emperor. Police statements at the time said thieves had “jemmied open cabinets” and taken items that also included a
ring, a ribbon inscribed by Napoleon in 1815 and a snuff box. On Thursday, Victoria Police confirmed the investigation is ongoing. The story of how Napoleon’s belonging came to be in Mount Martha has captivated historians. In 1976 Balcombe’s great-great
grandsons, the a’Beckett brothers, donated the homestead with surrounding garden to the National Trust and shire in memory of their mother, and sold the farm to the shire. The Balcombe Homestead housed part of the unique Napoleonic Collection, based on personal memorabilia
given by Napoleon to the Balcombe family at their ‘Briars’ home at St Helena, a British Overseas Territory, during his exile on the island. It was later added to by Dame Mabel and includes a copy of Napoleon’s death mask.

Like a well-written article, there’s no rush for Batty or her guests to drive home a point; here it’s all about the art of conversation and understanding. Tonight, Batty interviews domestic violence survivor Russell Vickery, who delves into the stigma around same-sex domestic violence, and using art for advocacy.

Performers Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were prolific even before they became a comedy-duo powerhouse during the 1920s-50s. The pair appeared in 107 films as a team and are regularly credited as inspiration by many modern comics. In this biographical drama, Steve Coogan is the workaholic Laurel to John C. Reilly’s (above) mischievous Hardy. Scottish director Jon S. Baird charts their epic theatre tour of post-war England as they attempt to reignite their film careers. But the gruelling schedule threatens more than just their health, as old wounds and grievances are brought to light.

Vision 2040 missing from shire’s priorities list I note that Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has adopted six advocacy priorities that cover issues such as support for the arts, better mobile phone coverage and better access to recycled water (“Peri-regional status on top of council priorities list” The News 29/3/22). I am sure all but the peri-regional status would have near unanimous support from the community and even the peri-regional status would have few detractors. But it is just a few months since the shire’s Vision 2040 project was completed with cheers and even tears. The 2040 project was an expensive and time consuming community engagement process that pulled together input from literally thousands of community members. Why are issues it identified to be central to community aspirations such as public transport and affordable housing not included in the shire’s advocacy priorities? I naively, it seems, assumed that the adoption of the 2040 Vision would guide council decision-making and priority setting. I hope the 2040 Vision is not being ignored because it does not align with councillors’ agendas. Maybe it was just a box ticking exercise to keep the state government happy. Nigel Munro-Smith, Mount Eliza
Headline rewrite I believe your headline should have been Victorian Remuneration Tribunal strikes another blow against democracy (“Deputy mayor’s 72% allowance increase ‘not an increase’: Mayor” The News 29/3/22). The so-called “independent” tribunal has provided no evidence or science to substantiate its inordinate pay rises of 20 per cent for mayors and 70 per cent for deputy mayors. Where is the evidence that the roles and responsibilities of Victorian mayors and deputy mayors have increased in proportionate to their recent extravagant pay increases? Where is the fairness in pay rises of this order for bureaucrats when the salaries and real incomes of most Victorians (including ratepayers) have not kept up with inflation? Councillors attend only one general council meeting and only one planning services meeting each month. When did that change? Councillors have very little - if any - contact with their ratepayers. When did that change? Councillors are also allowed to “double dip” by claiming back on ratepayers all travel expenses. Has that changed? No. I see the recent pay rise for mayors and deputy mayors has more to do with pork barrelling than fairness or increased work values and specific responsibilities in their local government roles. The Victorian Opposition leader Matthew Guy should demand the members of the remuneration tribunal be sacked. John Glazebrook, Rye
Expensive plunge I recently moved back to the Mornington Peninsula after almost 20 years living in Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. When I left Victoria to head north, I had 11 demerit points (accumulated via the speedy red arrow change on the corner of Bell Street, Preston) and paid the cost of retrieving my car from the lockup after it was towed from Latrobe Street for overlooking the peak time tow zone information. Twenty years in the NT and I paid a total of $80 all up for fines. I’d forgotten on returning to Victoria that I have to budget for parking fines (no more speeding for me). Since landing in Rye, I’ve had two $182 parking tickets on two of the most beautiful summer Sundays. That’s an expensive swim. The first time, in Portsea, I claimed I’d never make that mistake again. I won’t be careless enough to think I can drive to a beach of choice and park where no one’s driveway is blocked in a location where driveways extend for half a mile through one acre blocks and whose occupants often aren’t there. The second fine was near Bridgewater Bay. What was I thinking? That I could swim at a beach that is not walking distance from my own dwelling? Did I not care that people live in these back streets and they have to deal with the accumulation of cars and traffic out the front of their
homes all summer long. I have enough family on the peninsula to know about the Sorrento summer stress syndrome. I only hope that we can find a way for all of us to enjoy and protect this Boon Wurrung paradise. Laurencia Grant, Rye
‘Messy’ proposal Our mayor, Cr Anthony Marsh, says Mornington Peninsula Shire is investigating paid parking for tourists with absolutely no suggestion of the same for residents (“Visitors to pay” Letters 15/3/22). I would like to know how to achieve this. I can only think of chalk, or ticket machines, with exemption stickers for windscreens of locals. Messy. Smart parking devices with exemptions sounds dumb and expensive for just four months’ revenue. Either way, I can see shining in the light of exposure, the thin edge of a wedge. A couple of years of this then residents will pay, summer or winter, busy or quiet. We’ve already got a massive wedge which started as a thin edge, being a $50 rates surcharge some years ago, now a $338 surcharge. For nothing. Tourists don’t just require a few extra rubbish bins. They completely take over our beaches, parks, venues and amenities, almost to the exclusion of residents on some days. Summer tourism creates some micro-jobs: a few hundred or so casual jobs of often just a few hours a day over four months. The financial net benefits of summer tourism to us residents are way below zero. Who needs them? Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
PM’s panic One can only imagine the panic in Canberra last week when the prime minister, dressed impeccably in his pjs and slippers, browsed through his copy of The News and came across a letter (“Coal to Ukraine” 29/3/22 ). Panicked, the PM made a hasty phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. “Vol It’s Scomo from Australia. I’ve got a bit of a problem. You know how you asked for 70,000 tonnes of coal to keep your power stations running so your people wouldn’t freeze to death? Yeah. Looks like we are going to have to rethink that. Seems they think it’s OK for you to freeze as long as we send you some Vegemite and a few packets of Panadol. Hate to do this to you, mate but I need every vote I can get.” Michael Free, Mount Martha
Budget ‘a con’ Moving forward? Seemingly. A few bob now (low and middle income earners) returned by a higher tax bracket a year on and discontinuing the middle income tax offset. Now you see it, temporarily, then you don’t. And then we have wages growth? Sorry, I was dreaming. What is wages growth? Assuming the forecast inflation rise (4.25 per cent) my one-off $250 will be an overall mirage, indeed a minus. Add in the massive infrastructure difference between what Victorians contribute and what comes back and you (hopefully) get the real picture. Ducks and drakes to the naked eye, the possibility (probability) of the voting majority requiring cataract surgery. A coalition budget to con us, yet again insulting us as voting dunderheads. The pain of the truth of this transparent assessment. Moving backwards? Cliff Ellen, Rye
Time to meet According to the Labor MP for Nepean, Chris Brayne, he has requested [Flinders MP] Greg [Hunt] to meets with him and the state transport minister regarding the release of the federal money for the Jetty Road, Rosebud overpass and he has refused (“The time for arguing over the Jetty Road overpass is over” Letters 22/3/22). So, it’s not the state holding up the construction, it’s Mr Hunt. Instead of releasing the money and getting things moving, he attacks Chris Brayne in the press calling him lazy (“Australia’s ‘laziest MP’” Letters 8/3/22). Strewth, he must walk about with his eyes closed not to
notice the work being carried at Rosebud Primary School and our new upgraded bus service, including an express bus to Frankston station. Greg, meet with Chris and the state minister for transport and release the dosh so that we can get the overpass built. John Cain, McCrae
End two-party rule I am sure [Liberal Party candidate for Flinders] Zoe [McKenzie] is a great person and should not be demonised (“Support for Zoe”, “Character assassination” and “Zoe contributes” Letters 29/3/22). We should stick to the issues. Trolls and character assassination are not appropriate. Focus on the issues, Zoe might be a most wonderful person with a moral compass, but also keep in mind that it is the political party, not the person, that we need to worry about. J Michael d’Angelo: “The government, like the leopard, will not change its spots.” Zoe will not cross the floor and will vote the party line no matter what, just like [retiring Flinders MP] Greg Hunt has done. If you want to see how Greg voted, and how [I believe] Zoe would have voted, Google “how they vote”. Interesting that the coalition is not happy with this site and has tried to shut it down, much like other critical sites and the ABC. Very happy with sycophantic News Corp, Sky News and the alt-right Institute of Public Affairs. List 5-10 issues you hold dear, investigate where the candidate/party stands and make an intelligent decision based on that. Thomas Jefferson: “The government you elect is the government you deserve.” The only vote is an independent vote where candidates will vote for the issues and for the people who elected them. No factional party politics, no branch stacking, no donations from corporate mafia, no corrupt funding to marginal seats. We like to delude ourselves that we are a democracy, but we are actually a “democratic dictatorship” - free to vote occasionally to elect the next political dictatorship, leading to declining democratic processes and into authoritarian dictatorship like where the US is headed. For the sake of democracy, we must break the back of the two party “democratic dictatorship”. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
Flinders ‘second choice’ It seems some people have differing views from me on the Liberal candidate for Flinders Zoe McKenzie (“Support for Zoe”, “Character assassination” and “Zoe contributes” Letters 29/3/22). Having a holiday house in Sorrento and spending your summers on beaches in Dromana and Portsea is not the same as raising a family and working in Hastings, Bittern, Tyabb or Mornington. Zoe McKenzie initially ran for preselection in Higgins, so here is a hypothetical: What if Zoe McKenzie had actually been preselected to run in Higgins? She would have had nothing to do with Flinders, to Zoe we (the Flinders electorate) are her “backup plan”. I do not think the fact she ran twice shows her dedication at all, perhaps to the Liberal party, but certainly not to Higgins or Flinders. Yes, I do a bit of volunteering for the Labor candidate Surbhi Snowball, but that is not because I am a “Labor apparatchik” it is because I have seen families get their wages cut, their petrol goes up, and have groceries so expensive they have to think about how they can afford next week’s shopping. Flinders has been held by the Liberal Party for decades, with one-sided solutions - old solutions to new problems. Nearly all of Zoe McKenzie’s policy commitments are ones [retiring Flinders MP] Greg Hunt made in 2019 but did not deliver. How will giving Zoe McKenzie and the Liberals another three years solve them? The solution is a candidate from this community who actually knows the issues and has a new perspective. Flinders keeps getting taken for granted by Liberal candidates who want their shot at Parliament but are not being so keen on putting our community over their political gains. Fin Fowler, Mornington
Charity’s reward Petrol prices are sky high, yet one generous lady paid for my distraught wife’s fill-up at the Hastings Woolworth’s servo today (Tuesday 29 March) after she forgot to bring her credit card. What a wonderful thing to do and our heartfelt
gratitude goes out to this lovely person. Thank you so much. We will be donating to the Salvos in reciprocation for this kindly gesture. Trevor Gilmour, Bittern
Surgery bans There is an aspect of the COVID lockdowns and regulations which keeps popping up but seems to get tucked back under the carpet as quickly and quietly as possible. The issue is the cancellation of so-called elective surgery. “Elective” surgery seems to be anything which is not a case of do it today or death will result. The problem is that in many cases if surgery is not performed in a timely manner, death, or extreme disability may result. During these bans on elective surgery there have been many instances of surgeons doing nothing at home, while their specialist teams have been stood down and operating theatres lie empty. All this in case there is a surge in COVID cases. It must have been possible for some surgery to be performed on a case by case basis, with the decisions made at the hospital level. COVID cases requiring hospitalisation or ICU care do not explode overnight. Many patients could have been treated without clogging up the system. A survey of surgeons will reveal just how many were doing next to nothing instead of treating people with actual health problems, not potential COVID. Surgeons who will relate how patients with stage 1 cancer are now being treated for stage 3 cancer instead. Not to mention the pain and suffering of those unfortunate people on the waiting list. There must be a full inquiry into the impact of the decisions to issue a blanket ban on elective surgery. And I don’t mean the sort of whitewash which was the shameful inquiry into the hotel quarantine scheme. Jack Wheeler, Mornington
Parental child trauma New research conducted by the Centre of Perinatal Excellence (COPE) reveals saddening stories from hopeful, expectant, and new parents about negative experiences at each stage of the journey to parenthood. Around 15 per cent of couples experience infertility. Many describe it as a physical and emotional rollercoaster with adverse impacts on relationships, financial security and mental health. Pregnancy can be far from the glowing experience often portrayed. Prolonged and severe morning sickness, negative body image, family violence, anxiety and depression are just some of the challenges faced in pregnancy. Miscarriage and stillbirth are more common than realised. Birth trauma can be magnified by the words spoken by health professionals in the moment that are never forgotten. Professionals take heed. Alarmingly, 75 per cent of parents describe emotional and mental distress in their first year of parenting. Severe sleep deprivation, relationship tension and loneliness contribute to poor mental health and can trigger terrifying thoughts, rage and postnatal anxiety and depression. Due to high levels of stigma and social pressure, parents hide challenges from others for fear of judgement and even worry about having children removed from their care. This only exacerbates the impacts on mental health. The findings emphasise the critical need for routine, universal, mental health screening of all hopeful, expectant and new parents, to identify distress early, and ensure timely referral. Dr Nicole Highet, founder and executive director of COPE
Trees not animals The 2022 budget tossed around a lot of words like “biodiversity stewardship”, “carbon credit units” and “biosecurity certifications” while actually cutting spending on climate by 35 per cent over the next four years. It’s enough (and perhaps it’s intended) to make us throw up our hands and declare the battle against climate change just too hard. But it’s really very simple. We need to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide, and the “machine” which does that best is the tree, with the added benefit that it emits oxygen for us to breathe. To plant more trees, farmers need to stop breeding cattle and sheep. To get the farmers to stop breeding more and more animals, we need to stop eating meat. It really is that simple.

Rate your hearing at Nepean Hearing FOUR million Australians have a hearing loss. Nepean Hearing is offering free hearing tests and rating your Hearing for Your Age (for the over 40’s). The number of Australians who are hearing impaired is increasing because of • the ageing population - we are living longer • excessive noise - in the workplace and high level music Hearing loss is often described as the ‘invisible disability. People often wait for 5-10 years before they seek help. Hearing loss may also be a contributing factor in the speed of onset of dementia. The degree of loss is also correlated to the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. It is important to know about your hearing. Many people ignore the signs of hearing loss, which include; turning the TV or stereo up so loud that others complain, frequently needing to ask others to repeat themselves, and not being able to hear properly on the telephone. Constant ringing is also another warning sign of hearing loss. As technology advances, many people with hearing loss benefit from hearing aids. These innovations have made a positive difference in the way they can communicate and enjoy their lives. Nepean Hearing is an independently owned clinic and the audiologists are University of Melbourne trained

Heel pain in the morning YOU’VE just started putting in the extra miles, walking or running to get fit, and suddenly putting weight on the base of the foot, near the heel makes it ache, and makes more training a painful prospect. That sharp pain in your heel can be a symptom of plantar fasciitis, a condition of the connective plantar fascia tissue in your foot, and traditionally very difficult to treat. Physiotherapist Josie Wilson says Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury that can feel as though you have a pebble in your shoe. At Back In Motion Balnarring, we have several solutions for this condition. Firstly, it is important to look at your whole lower limb biomechanics. As a result, we can work on your strength and flexibility in your leg and foot, prescribe orthotics, tape and teach taping, and use massage and ultrasound to reduce inflammation. We have a unique way of mobilizing your foot and teaching “foot core stability” to reduce pressure on the plantar fascia. Apart from the above solutions, there is a newer healing technology that is making a profound difference to Plantar fasciitis sufferers.
Practice owner and physiotherapist, Paul Rowson says shockwave therapy is often useful, because the Plantar fascia is a connective tissue, not a muscle. “It puts a significant shockwave through the tissues you apply it to,” Mr Rowson says. “It is a pressure wave which brings blood flow to the area. Tendons and connective tissue do not have much blood supply and can take a long time to heal. Shockwave artificially stimulates the healing of the tendon”. Shockwave therapy can also be used on Achilles tendonitis, tennis and golfer’s elbow, and rotator cuff tendon problems, and is usually most effective on long term chronic problems, rather than acute injuries. Both physios say that Shockwave is not the first line of treatment for injured patients. Physiotherapy and graded exercise are more likely in the first instance. For more stubborn conditions, shockwave has shown good results in other Back In Motion clinics. “The evidence at the moment suggests between three to five treatments are required, but most people should see an improvement within three sessions. It has a 90% success rate,”Ms Wilson says.
The Shockwave therapy is administered for a three-minute period to the affected area during consecutive weekly appointments. “It is a bit of an uncomfortable sensation,”Ms Wilson says, “like most physio hands-on treatments with a little discomfort during the treatment.” Mr Rowson says,” After each session, most people get a significant reduction of pain and symptoms. Long term it stimulates healing, short term it reduces pain.” “Probably the best thing is, the effects are long lasting. It stops a lot of people having more invasive things like surgery or injections. The treatment is considered safe, but can produce skin reddening or bruising, short term pain, and cannot be used on people taking blood thinning medications or with bleeding disorders.” “It is important to know that shock wave has a long-term effect. Most of the time you have good outcomes without having to do further treatment.” says Mr Rowson.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Tragic death of old Tyabb resident Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE calm serenity of Tyabb received a rude shock on Tuesday morning when it became known that Mr. W. Noble, an old and well-known resident, had met with his death in a most tragic manner. For some days a man named Livingstone had been picking fruit for Mr. Noble, and had been living in a two roomed hut at the back of the dwelling and outhouses. During the night a boisterous wind blew continuously, blowing from his hut towards Mr. Noble’s, so that it was impossible for him to hear anything unusual. About 6.30, knowing it was Mr. Noble’s intention to catch the morning train to town, he thought he would go over to see if he was up, and was horrified in going out to see the cottage in a blaze, and the walls crumbling and falling in. The fire had been burning for some time, and was just beginning to die down. Mr. Livingstone, an old man of about 70, immediately summoned assistance from the nearest house, that of the Thornell family, and two of the boys went on with him. They searched among the now blackening debris, but did not have to go far before they found what they feared – the charred remains of a human body. They decided then to leave everything as it was, and one of them set off to the station to make sure that Mr. Noble was not at the train, and also to ring up the police. Shortly after eight o’clock Constable
Adams arrived on the scene, and took charge. Later the remains were removed to Latchford’s Hotel, Hastings, pending the inquest conducted by Mr. J. Watt, J.P., on Wednesday morning. Theories advanced as to the cause of the fire are many and varied. The most probable, however, was that Mr. Noble, preparing for the towns trip, was up early to light his fire, and some sparks from the chimney fell in the thatch of the roof. With such a gale blowing they would be fanned to a roaring blaze, and the roof caved in before Mr. Noble could realise what had happened. This theory is born out by the fact that the body was found some distance from his bed. The cottage, built of wattle-and-dab and thatched, would simply flare up like a heap of timber. Mr. Noble, a man of well over 70 years of age, had lived there by himself for over 50 years. He was a great reader, and held some very curious beliefs on religious questions. He is also reputed, in spite of his simple ways of living, to have been possessed of considerable means. *** In aid of the Methodist Church Organ Fund, which aims at providing a new organ for the new church shortly to be built at Tyabb, Mr. Russel Denham has organised three concerts to be held in Mornington, Frankston and Tyabb on the 20th, 21st and 22nd respectively. The business arrangements are in
his hands, while arrangements for the programme are in the hands of the well-beloved Mr. Percy Blundell, who is bringing several well-known city artists with him. In addition, Miss Doris Unthank and Mrs. W. Barker will be there, which ensures a doubly pleasant evening for all concert-lovers. *** Before Mr. R. Knight, P.M., and Messrs. C. G. V. Williams, W. Armstrong and C. Grant, J:’s.P, Senior– Constable Bray proceeded against Evan Anderson for having driven a motor car on the night of March 11th without a light. Senior–Constable Bray gave evidence to the effect that about 11 o’clock that night a car came down Hastings Road into Bay Street without lights. Seeing Constable Phillips on duty, Anderson dodged to the other side of the street, and made an attempt to beat the police. There were four men and a girl about 17 or 18 years of age in the car, and all were very merry. There were no globes in the lamp. The Magistrate: Did you let them go without lights? Yes, I had no power to arrest them. Plainclothes Constable Stock, of Russell Street, said Anderson had made a statement to him that the vibrations affected the fuse, but said he got them mended and lit at Frankston. Senior–Constable Bray: He did nothing of the sort. Anderson was fined £5, with 5/costs.

*** LETTER to The Editor Sir, Knowing that the “Standard” stands for the old saying that “fair play is bonny play,” I wish to add my protest against the treatment meted out to the Carrum Football Club in their being excluded from the Peninsula Association. From hearsay, I am informed that the only ground of objection was that Carrum violated the rules and played men not eligible. Now, Mr. Editor, would it not have been quite honorable (and in my opinion more manly) for any of the aggrieved clubs to have protested, and had the question settled as provided by the rules? Carrum would then have had the opportunity of defending their position. Now, was Carrum rejected by a majority of the clubs’ interested? I am informed that two clubs only voted them out, two in, and two neutral, and the deciding vote of the president lost Carrum’s identity. Seeing that there were even clubs interested, I fail to see why two clubs only being in direct opposition can gain their point, and I venture the opinion that Hastings’ delegates at least did not voice the opinion of their captain and a majority of their playing members, as they proved themselves a good side, and very good sports. In dealing with the president’s casting vote, Mr. Editor, I say, with all due respect to Mr. McCulloch, that owing to his position as captain of a club, as a sport, he forgot himself when he
became his club’s delegate; when he allowed himself to be made president and used two votes to oust Carrum. In my opinion, he forgot himself as a gentleman, and he lays himself open to be accused of bias. No one should know better than the gentleman himself that a captain cannot be an impartial chairman, seeing that the rules provide for the captain to be the only person to lodge protests. I think that a captain–president is out of court. It is a pity, Mr. Editor, that these little things crop up in club sport. I enjoyed last season’s football down the line, and am sorry for the boys that they cannot agree. Perhaps the fault is not only with our team. I like consistency in all things, and President Mac. should have thought when he used his double barrel vote to shoot Carrum with, that the previous year he was very glad to have as his vice–captain, Bill Carlson, and “Pompy” Davis, and run the risk of protest, and when that protest did come it was a good job for “Pompy” that there was a “joker’ or two in Frankston, or “Pompy” may have been misled. In conclusion, may I suggest to Mr. McCulloch that he forgoes one of his positions, and I make the suggestion with the best of intentions, as I feel it would be in the best interests of the game. “OLD SPORT” *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 7 April 1922

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The Disastrous Dumplings of Destiny By Stuart McCullough DUMPLINGS. I absolutely love them. Little parcels of joy that slip off your chopsticks before tumbling like an Olympic springboard champion head first into a bowl of soy sauce. But unlike an Olympic springboard champion, there’s no avoiding the splash and the resulting soy sauce souvenir on your work shirt. For me, they’re the ideal take away meal, which is why I decided to order myself some last Friday night. It was just after seven o’clock; kinda late by my standards, when I called to place my order. To save time, I said I’d be in to pick them up, rather than run the risk that some hapless delivery driver would be ambling aimlessly looking for my house because the number lacks sufficient illumination. But dumplings take no time at all to cook. I’d be home again before I knew it, so I reasoned. They say pride comes before a fall. In my case, it was an intoxicating blend of confidence and hunger. The first clue was when I rang the landline and it went through to message bank. Perhaps more significantly, the message bank made no mention of the restaurant, but was one of those automatic messages that simply advised I had reached a ‘private number’. This gave me no confidence at all and I decided to use the mobile instead. Someone answered. Better still, they showed real interest in my order, repeating it back to me so that I could be confident that it had been received in full. ‘It will be about twenty five to thirty minutes’. These words rang in my ears. I should probably have regarded that as some kind of warning or, possibly, a sign that I should get a new phone as I’m semi-confident that having words ring in your ears is not normal. Thirty minutes was longer than I expected. But I did a quick calculation and reasoned that I’d have dinner on the table by a quarter to eight. Not ideal, but I’d forget all about it the moment I started eating. I explained to my guests that I’d need to disappear for a few minutes. I was, so I explained, keen not to keep the restaurant people waiting.

Western Port News

In retrospect, the signs were obvious. When I got to the restaurant, there were other people waiting to pick up their orders. Without exception, they looked absolutely and utterly miserable. Some appeared to be downright agitated. Clearly, this was a place of great unhappiness. I looked up and noticed that hanging above the cash register was a sign that read ‘Abandon hope all ye who enter here.’ I should have left then. But, optimistic fool that I am, I enquired about my order. I was informed that they were waiting on a couple more dishes, which gave me the very
real impression that my meal would be ready in a matter of moments and that I’d soon be clutching my take-away bag, swanning past the gathered hoards of the downtrodden who were gathered in the doorway. I would feel a little sorry for them, but not much. I paid and began waiting. And waiting. And waiting. The person whose job it was to collate the takeaway orders seemed to be having a terrible time of it. She looked incredibly confused and, from time to time, she called over somebody else to stare deeply into a docket as though they were
trying to solve a riddle. It was like watching an episode of ‘Survivor’ when, after starving them for weeks, they make the contestants solve a puzzle and some of them end up staring at their fingers as if they’re never seen their own hand before. As a rule, you know you’re in trouble when the staff avoid making eye contact with you. This meant they were failing to manage the growing crowd of restless and, by this stage, incredibly hungry people waiting in the doorway. It was ages since any meal had been completed at all. I raised my hand to my chin to ponder what on earth could be going wrong when I discovered that I had grown a full beard while waiting. I’m not talking about a little bit of stubble, but the kind of growth that would see me get a full time job as a roadie with ZZ Top. In a mix of boredom and desperation, I began to plat my new beard. A lady who’d arrived before me asked for her money back. They refused, claiming that her meal, much like Christmas and the apocalypse, was coming. When it arrived a few moments later, she didn’t appeared relieved. More broken. I texted my guests who had wondered how far I’d travelled to get dinner. When I told them I was just around the corner, they were shocked. As time dragged on, I began to bargain with myself. Specifically, I began to convince myself that this was not, as I feared, a really late dinner but could now be considered an early breakfast. When my meal was finally ready, the person giving it to me said ‘sorry’. I panicked, unsure of whether he was apologizing for the colossal one hour fifteen minute wait or for the food itself. Like others, I was tempted to let him know what I really thought but, instead, took my food, began crying and offered to help out in the kitchen, as they clearly needed all the help they could get. I hope they were just having a bad night. I know I certainly was. Ultimately, I can’t stay mad at dumplings. And my first shift in the kitchen was a great success. Until we try again. stuart@stuartmccullough.com
RECKŌNING SET TO DELIGHT AUDIENCES AT FRANKSTON’S NEW FESTIVAL
FORMS FOR REMEMBERING AT MPRG MORNINGTON Peninsula Regional Gallery (MPRG) brings together the work of leading Melbourne based artist Louise Rippert alongside dynamic New Zealand based artist Steve Carr, in the second iteration of its ambitious Collection+ series of exhibitions. Collection+ pairs artists represented in the MPRG Collection alongside international artists. The exhibition curator Ainsley Gowing paired these two artists together to highlight the common threads that run through their works – time, repetition, stillness and tension, circular references and mandalas, structure behind simplicity, memories and family generations. Both are highly disciplined artists. Louise Rippert is a Melbourne based artist best known for creating delicate and carefully worked collages. Her practice also explores sculpture, both permanent and ephemeral, as well as light-based public installations. Her finished artworks are the result of hours, days and months of microscopic work, seeded and
grown through sourcing and experimenting with materials and methods. The calm acceptance of devoting limitless time to her work is underpinned by Rippert’s longstanding interest in Eastern philosophy. Steve Carr is a New Zealand based artist. His art practice has always been about moments of magical transformation, with the artist himself often undergoing the change. His practice of over 20 years has included performance, film, sculpture and installations which encourage the audience to move through a range of emotions. As viewers engage with his films, time is suspended and anticipation builds, the outcomes or climax of the film not always as expected. Steve Carr’s works take us through feelings of nostalgia, humour, amusement and uncertainty, probing deeper reflections and stirring our memories. You can see the exhibition at MPRG until 31 July.
NEW, innovative and edgy, South Side Festival is set to transform multiple venues across Frankston City in May 2022. A major event for the festival is Reckōning - a cross cultural, multi art-form performance work which fuses Indigenous cultures from Aotearoa, New Zealand and Te Whēnua Moemoeā (Land of the Dreamtime) Australia. Heralded by Rolling Stone as being a performance that “delights every one of the senses for those lucky enough to witness it”, Reckōning is the winner of 4 Melbourne Fringe Awards. A performance about reclaiming power, reconnecting with and rediscovering our Ancestry may sound heavy to some, but Broadway World explains, “The real joy of Reckōning is its original music, blend of different art forms and authentic storytelling”. Intertwining Indigenous culture through
storytelling and featuring original songs by Samuel Gaskin and The Merindas. Candice Lorrae, Kristel Kickett, Piri Neho, Paula Barbee & Mahana Maihi-Taniora complete the cast by combining personal stories of their ancestors with original song writing which explores the power of connecting to their indigenous bloodlines. Employing strong visuals projected on screen, emotionally charged song, deeply personal story telling and genuine emotions, Reckōning leads its audience on a journey leading to empathy and understanding, whilst the music uplifts the audience. Book now to experience Reckōning in the Frankston Arts Centre theatre on Sunday 8 May. Tickets available at thefac.com.au. South Side Festival will feature art, culture, food and heritage experiences for young and old from 6 – 15 May 2022.

Stonecats have a successful start, Bombers get on the board MPNFL
By Brodie Cowburn
DIVISION ONE
IT was a day of celebration for Frankston YCW on Saturday, as they started their season with a gritty come-frombehind win over Bonbeach. The two sides got the 2022 season underway with an entertaining clash at Bonbeach Reserve. The Stonecats proved to be the stronger side on the day after a slow start. They ended up taking the game by 14 points - 11.9 (75) to 14.5 (89). The day will also be remembered for the return of Frankston YCW’s Dylan Roberton to the football field. The former St Kilda defender made a welcome return after retiring from the AFL last year because of health issues. Two Division One matches were played on Saturday to kick off the season. The other matchup saw Mt Eliza host Frankston Bombers at Emil Madsen Reserve. Both sides had troubles in front of goal all afternoon, but Frankston Bombers managed to come out on top. The Bombers won 5.12 (42) to 8.14 (62).

SOMERVILLE were the big winners in the opening round of the MPNFL season, claiming a thumping victory over Hastings. It was a goal-fest at Somerville’s home ground on Saturday. Somerville booted 22 goals for the day, securing them a 79 point win over the Blues. Ryan Gillis starred for Somerville. He booted seven goals. Daniel Marshall contributed four majors to the scoreboard and Lachlan Sharp kicked three. The final score read Somerville 22.12 (144) to Hastings 10.5 (65). Langwarrin also got their season started on the right foot. They got the better of Seaford at RF Miles Reserve. Langwarrin will be hoping for a big year. They finished last year’s COVID-interrupted season on top of the ladder, and will be looking to replicate those efforts. Seaford struggled to match the Kangaroos on Saturday. Langwarrin ended up winning comfortably 7.6 (48) to 12.16 (88). Zach Andrewartha kicked three goals for the winning side, and former Essendon Bomber Mark Baguley kicked two. Chelsea also notched up a win in their opening game of the season. They defeated Crib Point 7.10 (52) to 9.15 (69). The final game of the opening round saw Devon Meadows and Pearcedale take each other on. Devon Meadows had opportunities in front of their home crowd, but failed to convert their chances. Pearcedale took advantage to claim an 8.13 (61) to 12.11 (83) win.
Mornington’s top sprinters to face off at Sale HORSE RACING
By Ben Triandafillou CLIFF Brown’s The Inferno and Jason Warren and Dean Krongold’s Brooklyn Hustle will likely head to Sale on Friday 15 April. The two stable stars for the Mornington-based trainers are set to contest the inaugural running of The Country Discovery (1100m), an open handicap race, worth $500,000. Brown, who had The Inferno ready to go for the Group 1 William Reid Stakes (1200m) on March 25, was forced to scratch the gelding on the morning of the race because of a sore foot. He had been installed as the second-favourite for the race prior to the scratching. “24 hours later and he was fine,” Cliff Brown said of the minor setback. “It was a little bit frustrating.” Brown is confident the talented sprinter can return in good order when he steps out next. “He’s going to trial on Wednesday before heading to the 1100m open
race. He’s going well and it seems a good race for him,” he said. Warren and Krongold’s Brooklyn Hustle returns from Sydney after contesting the Group 1 The Galaxy (1100m) on Saturday 19 March where she got back and ran home well to finish in sixth, beaten just over two lengths by inform sprinter Shelby Sixtysix. Co-trainer Dean Krongold said the flashy chestnut mare will also have a trial before heading to the Sale sprint. With a similar ‘get back and run on’ racing style as The Inferno, Krongold believes the Sale track should suit their mare perfectly. “It’s a track that’ll suit her and there’s good prizemoney on offer,” he said. “It also fits into the program well heading to her likely goal of the [Group 1 Robert] Sangster in Adelaide.” Brown’s The Inferno is also likely to head to Adelaide following The Country Discovery with the $500,000 Group 1 The Goodwood (1200m) on May 21 also on the cards.
Head-to-head: Two of Mornington’s best sprinters The Inferno and Brooklyn Hustle are likely to meet each other in the $500,000 The Country Discovery at Sale on April 15. Pictures: Supplied Western Port News

Simmons wins battle of Tyabb SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie YOUNG Tom Simmons proved to be the matchwinner as Somerville defeated Baxter 2-1 on Saturday in the first local derby of the season. Clashes between these State 4 rivals are usually entertaining and this encounter was no different. Tyabb Central Reserve is a difficult proposition for sides that favour an interpassing game and the home side adapted to the bumpy surface with a no-nonsense approach. Baxter led 1-0 through Lachie McMinimee’s well-taken strike in the 20th minute but its new striking combination of McMinimee and boom recruit Dave Greening blew a series of chances in both halves. The key to Somerville’s second half fightback was substitute Guil Ribeiro who put his close skills to good use teasing and taunting Baxter defenders. Ribeiro and 20-year-old Simmons were among three substitutions made by Somerville in the 57th minute and this duo had a big hand in the outcome. In the 80th minute Baxter central defender Sunday Kim had time to clear but dwelt on the ball and when forced into action his attempt was blocked falling to Ribeiro who struck a low shot inside the near post for the equaliser. With two minutes of normal time left the most controversial moment of the match arrived when the home team’s club linesman decided that Somerville players were onside as a long ball over the top eluded the Baxter defence. Ribeiro broke clear into a one-on-one with advancing Baxter keeper James Foster then calmly played the ball into the path of Simmons who knocked it into the open goal for the winner. In NPL2 Langwarrin had to settle for a 2-2 draw with visitors North Geelong on Saturday. Langy recovered from a George Elliss goal in the 3rd minute to lead 2-1 at half-time thanks to Ryan Paczkowski and Mawien Nielo but Caleb Mikulic’s goal in the 67th minute completed the scoreline. It was Langy’s first point of the season. In State 1 Casey Comets beat Mornington 2-0 at Comets Stadium on Saturday in a fiery clash that typified recent contests between these sides. Mornington keeper Taylor Davidson was shown a straight red in the 73rd minute and striker Wayne Gordon took over in goals while a second yellow to Comets striker John Prescott after a clash with Jamie Davidson in the 84th minute ended his involvement.

In State 2 Skye United’s first win of the season was a thumping 6-1 whitewash of Monbulk Rangers at Monbulk Regional Soccer Facility on Friday night. Mitch Blake got the scoring underway after a smart turn and finish inside the box following a James George cross. Skye then added three more goals before half-time with Marcus Collier pouncing on two loose balls inside the area either side of a Mark O’Connor header. Ten minutes into the second half Liam Jones replied for Monbulk but Skye substitutes Jack Gallagher and Jason Nowakowski added to the visitors’ haul with goals in the last 15 minutes. Peninsula Strikers made it three wins in a row after downing Brandon Park 2-0 at Freeway Reserve last weekend. A goal in each half from Kiwi striker Riley Anderton sealed the home team’s fate. Nathan Prince robbed a defender and played the ball to Anderton who chipped opposition keeper Christian Morales for the opener. Huss Chehimi and Cassius Delaney combined for the second goal the lat-

made amends by making it 4-1 just before the interval. A headed assist from Nic Farrell allowed Spivey to complete his hat-trick late in the match. Mount Martha came back from a two-goal deficit away to Casey Panthers to draw 2-2. David Oswald started the fightback in the 73rd minute and Corey Riddle grabbed the equaliser a minute into added time. Aspendale Stingrays lost 3-2 away to Hampton Park United last weekend. The home side led 2-0 in the first half but two goals in as many minutes from James Macnab and Kenan Nuhanovic had scores tied at half-time. Hampton Park’s Jonathan Theodore and Ehab Hilal and Aspendale’s Peter Dimopoulos were all dismissed in the second half after their second yellow cards and Hampton’s Maziad Chazbek scored the winner in the 76th minute. Off the pitch the main news in State 5 concerns the timing of the shire council’s makeover of Civic Reserve forcing tenant Mount Martha to overhaul its fixtures. Mount Martha now plays every game in the first half of the season away from home.

Hull saved four one-on-ones as Pines looked jaded after an exacting 120 minutes of Australia Cup action three nights earlier but an excellent right foot curler from Waugh in the 89th minute got them over the line. Senior coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor arrives back this week from a UK holiday in time to ready his squad for Saturday’s away trip to Parkfield Reserve to take on Noble Park United. In State 5 striker Marcus Spivey’s hat-trick spearheaded Mentone’s 5-1 whitewash of struggling Endeavour Hills at Power Reserve on Saturday.

Mornington’s matchday squad included Kaeman Salvato, Jordy May, Lochie Millar and Daniel Bennett from its NPL junior program. Meanwhile Rosebud-based photographer John Punshon and Frankston resident Harry Chalkitis had their contributions to Victorian soccer officially recognised at last week’s Football Victoria AGM as one of six recipients of life membership of the state federation.

Chalkitis has played and coached in the local area and worked as a club technical director. He’s a two-time Victorian Coach of the Year, a former men’s state team coach, head coach of Bentleigh Greens and Port Melbourne, head coach of Victoria Vision in the women’s NSL and former head of Victoria’s National Training Centre women’s program.
