Run for special kids SOMERVILLE resident Chris Renouf is training for the Nike Melbourne Marathon Festival next week to raise money for Very Special Kids. The children's charity provides professional support services to Victorian families who have a child with a life-threatening condition. In late 2019, Chris and his partner Tess lost their two-year-old son Reggie to complications stemming from infantile onset pompe disease. Since Reggie’s diagnosis, Very Special Kids has provided support to Chris and his family, helping them through what’s been described as a “devastating journey”. The charity continues to provide the services of a dedicated support practitioner, professional counselling services and peer support programs. The couple now have two healthy sons: Cameron, 2, and Robbie who was born earlier this year. Chris has run in the Melbourne Marathon Festival since 2018 and has so far raised more than $4000 for Very Special Kids. He expects to crack the $5000 mark this year to “help other Victorian families through tough times”. The Nike Melbourne Marathon Festival on 11-12 December will, for the first time in 42 years, be held across two days. Events on the Saturday include the Sri Lankan Airlines 10km Run, 5km Run and free 3km Walk. On Sunday, the Nike Melbourne Marathon, Nike Wheelchair Marathon, and Nike Half Marathon will be held, with start times an hour earlier than the previous day’s events to allow for the warmer weather.

‘Humane’ exit plan for kangaroos Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A PERMIT is being sought to “humanely” remove kangaroos from a Cape Schanck property, instead of killing them. The land manager has agreed to wait an extra eight-weeks before the cull was about to start and, in the meantime, seek a permit under the Wildlife Act to move the kangaroos back through a fence into Mornington Peninsula National Park. The reprieve for the “several hundred” kangaroos was due to “determined work” by Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors and “tire-
less negotiation” by CEO John Baker, according to Paul Saunders of the Mornington Peninsula Greens. The first stay of execution was due to end last week (3 December). “This release [of the kangaroos into the national park] needs to happen within the next few weeks if the health of these animals is to not be further compromised,” Mr Saunders said. “Animal welfare experts and community members have offered to assist with this process which may require a group of individuals to calmly encourage the kangaroos to leave the property.” Mr Saunders said the land manager blamed vandals for breaking down
fences which saw the kangaroos enter the property (“Weary tracks tell tale of trapped kangaroos” The News 4/10/21). “Community members condemn such actions and support the council and land manager in calling for a halt to any such vandalism,” he said. Western Victoria Upper House Animal Justice Party MP Andy Meddick, said the system for controlling wildlife was “outdated, flawed, and sees our native animals cruelly killed by simply ticking a box”. “I'm calling on the Victorian government and Minister for Environment [Lily D’Ambrosio] to do the right thing and explore humane, non-lethal

alternatives - such as relocation. This is what the local community wants,” he said. Cape Schanck resident Sally Baillieu said methods used to count kangaroos on the peninsula were based on “highly inaccurate information”. She said the Department for the Environment Land Water and Planning (DELWP) had estimated there were 7000 kangaroos on the peninsula “without taking a single local observation”. “DELWP also have refused to accept, or even investigate, on-theground citizen-science observations demonstrating that the population is actually around 2500 animals. Far
smaller than their estimates,” Ms Baillieu said. She said there had been no commercial activity on the property where the kangaroos were stranded “for almost two decades”. “Both the inaccurate population estimate, and this lack of agricultural activity invalidates the issue of a culling permit,” Ms Baillieu said. “Despite being informed of this, DELWP have refused to retract the permit and indicated that the slaughter will go ahead.” “DELWP is charged with managing and protecting wildlife across Victoria. Sadly, they have failed badly in this situation.”

Hunt ‘retirement’ tied to election Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au
FLINDERS MP Greg Hunt at the opening of the Yawa Aquatic Centre, Rosebud. Picture: Gary Sissons
AFTER more than 20 years representing the people of the Flinders electorate in federal parliament, Liberal Greg Hunt is looking forward to spending more time at home with his family. When announcing his retirement from federal politics last week, Mr Hunt told parliament “it's time to turn to focus on another family: Paula, Poppy, James, Elsa and Charlie the cavoodle”. “But for all the time that we have spent together, and as fond as I am of the Prime Minister [Scott Morrison] and the Treasurer [Josh Frydenberg], my card is ultimately elsewhere - sorry, Josh,” he said. “It is with my family. My amazing wife, Paula, who is in the gallery today, is a nurse, carer, counsellor and confidante. But perhaps above all else she's raised two beautiful children largely as a single mother. “I am so immensely proud of Poppy, who is going into year 11, and of James, who is about to go into senior school. They're both getting awards this week and, again, I'm not there. On Sunday they looked at me and said: 'Dad,
this is your last chance to be a proper dad. It's time to come home, Dad’.” His announcement is an illustration of the ever-changing circumstances and decisions in politics. On Friday 1 October Mr Hunt told The News: “I have been pre-selected and am running.” Two months later he was telling parliament that his place as the candidate for Flinders at next year’s election should be taken by a woman. “I think it is time, subject to the will of the local branch members, for a strong, brilliant woman to be the Liberal candidate for Flinders. And I'm very confident about the future of this great party in this coalition.” Zoe McKenzie, who has previously worked for Mr Hunt while health minister and former trade minister Andrew Robb, is tipped as succeeding Mr Hunt as the Liberal Party’s candidate for Flinders. Ms McKenzie is on the board of the lobby group Committee for Mornington Peninsula, whose executive officer Briony Hutton is seeking Liberal preselection for the state seat of Hasting held by Neale Burgess, who will not seek re-election next year.

Wallara banking on government support DISABILITY support organisation Wallara, based at Sages Farm, Baxter, says its future expansion depends on receiving $750,000 each from the state and federal governments. The charity, which helps those living with a disability prepare for and find employment, has invested more than $2 million without receiving any money from government – despite it being two years since CEO Phil Hayes-Brown asked for their support. “The farm has proven its ability to create jobs,” Hayes-Brown told a lunch last week attended by partners Frankston RSL and St Kilda Football Club. “Local businesses can see what we are doing here and the quality of the work being done. This is how we get more people into the workforce.” Mr Hayes-Brown said Sages’ mission was to be Australia’s most inclusive farm and also to educate the community through tours and events. He said Wallara helped its clients get job-ready by learning skills in the cafe, growing

vegetables, maintaining the gardens, caring for the animals and conducting educational tours on the 16 hectare site. In the past year eight paid jobs had been created at the farm with 10 more in the pipeline, with construction work to create another 18 roles. “I’m frustrated because I see the support [we get] from business, from some amazing donors, and I see [how] Wallara invests its funds as a not-for-profit,” Mr Hayes-Brown said. “I see the outcomes being achieved, but operating out of a 150-year-old heritage cottage is holding us back from achieving more. “If we can secure just $750,000 each from the federal and state governments we can build an inclusive jobs hub that will enable us to do so much more.” Frankston RSL and St Kilda Football Club say they are ready to take graduates into paid work off the farm which is run by 60 young people with different abilities, plus some talented support coaches.

Hospitality courses for summer trade CHISHOLM TAFE is offering courses in hospitality which may go some way to filling trainee staff shortages on the Mornington Peninsula. The Serving Up Skill courses to be held this month in two sessions aim to help provide staff for businesses about to face an influx of holidaymakers over summer. The second course, over four days (13-17 December) at Rosebud campus, costs $700. The college says financial assistance, support
and funding options may be available through an employment service provider or from the Caroline Chisholm Education Foundation. The course covers the responsible serving of alcohol, safe food handling, introduction to coffee and simulated cafe practice. Students must be aged 16 and above and scholarships may be available.

Cuppa and scones are reasons to meet
Volunteers prepare scones in the kitchen at Hastings Bowling Club
SCONES, a cuppa and a chat are the tools being used by a group in Hastings to help reduce some of the isolation and loneliness made worse over the past few years with COVID and lockdowns. Scones on Hastings had its first get together at Hastings Bowling Club on Friday 3 December with more than 20 people paying $2 for tea or coffee and a plate of scones, cream and jam. The idea for Scones on Hastings comes from an initiative started in Queensland. An ABC radio item on the Queensland effort sparked Hastings resident Christy Griffin
to talk to like-minded people and see if a similar event could be staged locally. They formed a committee and Scones on Hastings was born. “We need a community support program like Scones on Hastings as the lockdowns have had a severe impact on many people, particularly those living alone,” Ms Griffin said. “We are hoping to provide pleasant and relaxed occasions for Hastings residents to meet up with other locals.” She was full of praise for her committee members and volunteers who baked scones, served tea and coffee and checked people in
to ensure they conformed to Covid rules. “Without the work of the committee and all the volunteers we would never have got this off the ground,” she said. Scones on Hastings will be a monthly event with the next one on Friday 4 February 2022 at the Hastings Bowls Club and then the first Friday of each month. Ms Griffin said the group had been supported by Hastings Bowls Club and Leonie Worrall, of Hastings Stockdale and Leggo.

New mayor sets new rules Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Anthony Marsh laid down new rules five days before running this Tuesday night’s council meeting at Rosebud. In an email to councillors on Thursday 2 December - three weeks after being elected mayor - Cr Marsh outlined his changes to meeting procedures. He said the new “approach” stemmed from his desire to “encourage much better transparency of councillor decisions and improve the level of debate”. The changes prevent councillors from questioning council officers during public council meetings without permission from Cr Marsh. As well as reducing the number of
officers attending council meetings, Cr Marsh wants councillors to only question officers during closed briefing meetings. “I acknowledge that this approach may be different to the approach taken historically. However, this practice is aligned with better board practice, has been adopted by other councils, aligns with the Local Government Act, and is supported by our Governance Rules,” Cr Marsh stated in his 2 December email to councillors. He said limiting questioning of officers to the briefings would “encourage you all to come [to public council meetings] equipped with your best arguments”. A shire news release quoted Cr Marsh as saying councillors “will be expected to come to meetings well prepared, having read the [officers’]
reports and informed themselves”. “During the subsequent council meeting [following the closed briefings], councillors will be unable to question shire officers unless it relates to new information and there was no reasonable opportunity to ask the question beforehand. In those instances, the CEO and directors will respond to such questions.” The questions, if allowed, will be asked of the executives because lower ranks will no longer attend open council meetings. “An indirect benefit is a reduction in employee costs due to overtime and time in lieu, making the new process less costly to ratepayers,” Cr Marsh said. Former mayor Cr David Gill said he did not believe the public was interested in “better board practices”.
“[They] wish to know how decisions are made and how they will be affected by those decisions,” Cr Gill said. “The mayor did not consult with councillors or our community on these fundamental changes to the way meetings are run,” he said in apparent reference to Cr Marsh saying he wanted to “unify the council team” and not push his own views (“New mayor to seek council unity” The News 22/11/21). “The changes, if implemented, will take away any real opportunity for elected representatives to ask questions of officers in public on issues that affect the daily lives of voters and our community in general,” Cr Gill said. “I was elected to represent our community and to ask these questions. It is sad to see the loss of these fundamental parts of our local democracy. “Councils need to guard against be-

ing less secretive and try to become more open to the public with decision making.” Former councillor Hugh Fraser said the Local Government Act “does not support” processes that “shut down councillors’ ability to publicly [question] officers”. “Questions of council officers will now be behind closed doors, in secret briefings closed to the community that elected them,” Mr Fraser said. “… These proposed processes are straying into irregular and unlawful territory and reducing public council meeting decision making to a rubber stamp of a controlling majority bloc of councillors.” Mr Fraser saw the changes as “a dangerous nail in the coffin of open democratic transparent local government in this shire”.

Divers and beach cleaners after the clean-up at Flinders with piles of dangerous litter. Pictures: Supplied
Divers give pier summer clean ABOUT 20 volunteer scuba divers last Saturday (4 December) cleared rubbish from the seabed beneath Flinders pier. The dive, and a corresponding beach clean-up by other volunteers, aimed to get the beach and foreshore area ready for summer. The dive was organised by the Flinders Community Association and Ocean Divers who are supporting the campaign to save the historic timber section of the pier earmarked for demolition by Parks Victoria. The association says the pier is a recognised dive location attracting enthusiasts from around the world and is home to the weedy seadragon which is found only on the Morning-
ton Peninsula. “They picked up so much stuff fishing hooks, squid jigs, plastic, food packaging, coffee cups and other rubbish,” the association’s Charles Reis said. “One of the greatest threats to marine ecology is the ingestion of plastics by fish that scrape the seabed in search of food. The volunteers used special bags for collecting waste material underwater and brought them ashore for disposal.” Mr Reis said half the length of the pier was unsafe for use because of a lack of maintenance by Parks Victoria over a decade. Nearly 40,000 Victorians have signed a Save Flinders Pier petition.
Ocean Divers safety coordinator Liz Harper helped organise the undersea clean-up.

Council bans anti-quarry signs Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au SAVE Arthurs Seat protesters have been told to remove signs they have erected on roads near the Hillview quarry site. The large signs protesting the Ross Trust’s plans for a new quarry on Arthurs Seat feature an image of “blood” dripping down from a scar on the hillside and the words No New Quarry Ross Trust! are said to be in breach of planning laws. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council ordered the signs down after receiving complaints. It told the Save Arthurs Seat group the signs were too large and were deemed as “promotional”, which puts them in breach of clause 52.05 of the planning scheme. “Part of [the shire’s] obligation as the responsible authority is to ensure the controls and protections that form part of the planning scheme are maintained,” community safety and compliance manager Shannon Maynard said. “Anyone seeking to place a sign on private land must comply with the planning scheme, regardless of the content of the sign.” “These signs have clearly hit a nerve,” Dr Mark Fancett, from the Save Arthurs Seat campaign, said. He added that the signs were on private land and did not pose any safety or traffic risks. “We can’t say for sure who complained about these signs, but their removal doesn’t benefit the community, it only benefits the Ross Trust and Hillview Quarries, who are steaming ahead with this quarry proposal against massive opposition. “Council says one of the complaints mentioned the negative visual impact of the signs, which is bizarre given that the new quarry is going to cause a huge scar on the side of Arthurs Seat. “I can’t understand the thinking of someone

who would object to a relatively small protest sign but who is happy for a hole the size of 21 MCGs to be dug out of the side of Arthurs Seat.” Mr Fancett said being ordered to remove the signs “just makes us more determined to win this campaign and the Ross Trust needs to know that the opposition to this quarry is not going away”. “The signs may be gone, but for the Ross Trust, the writing is on the wall.” The Save Arthurs Seat campaign is closing in
on 100,000 signatures on a change.org petition and recently received national TV coverage on A Current Affair. Last week, Liberal environment spokesperson Cindy McLeish wrote that the Victorian Liberals “strongly oppose” the quarry and that if it was permitted to proceed, “not only will it devastate the local landscape, it will threaten the future liveability and sustainability of the Mornington Peninsula”.

Hunt to retire at next election Continued from Page 3 The Labor Party’s candidate for Flinders is Surbhi Snowball while Voices for Mornington Peninsula is expected to soon announce its backing for an independent. Meanwhile, Mr Hunt’s foreshadowed exit (he will remain health and aged care services minister until the election, which could be as early as March) saw him praised from many quarters. Mr Hunt was first elected in 2001 after being “handed the baton” by former Liberal Defence Minister Peter Reith. His decision to step down follows 20 months of what has arguably been the most difficult time faced by an Australian health minister - the coronavirus pandemic. However, there have been criticisms of the government’s handling of the crisis with many deaths recorded in federallycontrolled aged care homes and the Macquarie Dictionary making “strollout” its word of the year, in reference to the time taken to provide Australians with COVID-19 vaccines. “When I think back to the fear and the concern … in February and March last year, and I look at that which has occurred around the world and the lives that have been saved here by comparison, I'm so proud of this government, of this parliament and of this nation, and all the things that have been done to save lives and protect lives,” Mr Hunt told parliament. After saying he believed the country was “well prepared for the future” and thanking party members in his electorate and “the extraordinary [electorate chair] Peter Raw-

lings—and his predecessor, Julie Heron”. He also named six of his staff “who have served for a decade: Lynne Strahan, Sarah Meredith, Tina McGuffie [now speechwriter at Mornington Peninsula Shire], Denise Garnock, Lisa Burgess and Wendy Black”. “I look at the incredible talent on the back bench, the middle bench and the front bench, and I know that in the leadership of the prime minister we see someone where the bigger the issue, the clearer he knows the way. That's it. I think that's because he understands Australians, and he trusts Australians,” Mr Hunt said. “The highest of all honours is the simplest. We are all representatives, and I have been graced and favoured by the people of Flinders to represent the area in which I grew up - the Mornington Peninsula and Western Port - and our strongest role is when we are partners with our community. Gunnamatta Ocean Beach, Point Nepean, the Somerville Secondary College, Balcombe Grammar, the Mornington cancer centre and the Abacus autism centre in Hastings—all of these things are meaningful and real.” And then, without acknowledging the exact time of the election, Mr Hunt ended his speech: “And there's a lot more to do over the next six months. To paraphrase my favourite film, The Princess Bride we’ve all got our secrets - there’s a country to protect, medicines to list, a budget to prepare and an election to win, but, when all of that is done, it will be time to come home.”

What they said about Greg Hunt TREASURER Josh Frydenberg said the decision to not seek re-election by his longtime friend was a "big loss for me and his electorate”. "He's my best friend in parliament, I was the best man at his wedding," Mr Frydenberg said. "We're the godfather to our respective children and he has made a really great contribution [to the health portfolio]. "I think Greg has done a sterling job.” Mornington (Liberal) MP David Morris: “Greg’s appetite for hard work, and his commitment to liberal values saw him rise to become a member of the Australian Cabinet. His intellect and skills saw him comprehensively meet the challenge of managing the COVID pandemic as Minister for Health. But despite achieving high office he never forgot that his first and most important job was to serve the people of Flinders as their representative in the federal Parliament. “Greg has served both the nation and his community with distinction and leaves very big shoes for his successor to fill.” Hastings (Liberal) MP Neale Burgess: “I have been honoured to work with Greg Hunt for the majority of his 20 years serving our community. From my close-up view, there is no question in my mind that Greg has been the best minister I’ve ever known. “I will be forever grateful that when the world ran into a one in 100 years crisis, in COVID, Greg Hunt was in the role to lead Australia to safety. “I’m very proud to call Greg my friend.” Nepean (Labor) MP Chris Brayne: “Greg has been the federal Member for Flinders for more than two thirds of my life. I remember him visiting my class in grade 4, and then I grilled him when he attended a year 9 question and answer session. “Whether it’s been as a primary school student, a secondary school student or now as a Member of Parliament, Greg has always been very generous with his time to me.

“I wish him and his family well for the future.” Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Anthony Marsh: “As a council we are sad to see such an active and engaged local member retire. “Greg works incredibly hard and has been a great champion for the Mornington Peninsula in federal parliament. He is determined and persistent and obviously cares passionately about getting the best outcome for this region. His dedication to our community is abundantly clear but after 20 years on the job he deserves a rest! “We wish him all the very best for the future.” Cr David Gill: “Greg has done a lot of good work for the Mornington Peninsula. However, we disagreed on matters of principle at times. “I wish Greg the best in whatever he chooses to do next.” Australian Private Hospitals Association CEO Michael Roff: “Greg Hunt has overseen some of the most challenging times for the health care sector, leading the Australian response to the COVID-19 pandemic. His efforts at the outset of the pandemic ensured Australians had access to the full hospital system – bringing public and private hospitals together in an historic agreement.” Beyond Blue Chair Julia Gillard: “Mr Hunt is a caring and passionate advocate for mental health. “As federal Health Minister, he embraced change and innovation, and worked tirelessly to address the most pressing issues in mental health and suicide prevention. “Notably, he seized the potential of telehealth to expand access to mental health and wellbeing support. He recognised the healing potential of universal aftercare for those in suicidal distress. And importantly, he championed the voices of lived experience, talking openly of his own family’s experience with mental illness.”

Schoolies’ assault A ROSEBUD boy, 15, faces serious charges after a police sergeant was allegedly hit from behind during schoolies’ week celebrations on the foreshore. Police responding to a noise complaint at the Rosebud pier just after midnight, Monday 29 November, found up to 300 teenagers on the beach listening to loud music.

He has been charged with assaulting an emergency worker, reckless conduct likely to cause serious injury, four counts of resisting police and five counts of committing an indictable offence while on bail. He has been remanded to appear at a children’s court at a later date. The injured officer was taken to hospital for treatment where he spent the night and has since been released. Anyone who saw or has vision of the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

They seized substantial quantities of ice, ecstasy, cannabis, illicit firearms and weapons along with more than $70,000 in cash as the proceeds of crime. Police say they continue to target suspicious
POLICE are urging Mornington Peninsula residents to be vigilant about fire danger, despite a wetter outlook for summer. They are gearing for the annual Operation Safeguard, which aims to deter or reduce the impact of intentional and recklessly lit fires. The most common causes of recklessly lit fires include burning off, campfires, car exhausts and machinery, use of tools such as angle grinders and welding equipment, bonfires and flares and farming machinery such as harvesters. While recklessly lit fires are considered by many to be accidental, the outcome is often the same as arson, with potential for injury, loss of life or property. Anyone found guilty of recklessly or intentionally causing a bushfire can face significant fines and penalties of up to 15 years’ imprisonment. Police are reminding the community of their role in preventing bushfires and encourage people to speak up and report any reckless or suspicious behaviour. Anyone who sees suspicious behaviour should call 000 as it is occurring. Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report to crimestoppersvic.com.au Operation Safeguard will run until March.

CHRISTMAS WITH DELTA GOODREM
FRIDAY
NINE, 7.30pm
RHYS DARBY: BIG IN JAPAN
TEN, 9.30pm
Kiwi actor and comedian Rhys Darby (left) was lucky enough to get to Japan in those heady pre-COVID days where travel was open to all. As we prepare to dust off our passports, this weird and wacky four-part series is just the ticket in armchair travel. Darby makes his entrance in tonight’s premiere via hot air balloon before traipsing through the country with his vknack of finding all the oddest places, such as the hotel run entirely by robots and a company that will make you your own mascot.
SATURDAY
HOME ALONE
SEVEN, 7pm
Feel-good director Chris Columbus set one of the most successful kids film franchises in motion with this amusing variation on a wish fulfilment theme. When a young boy – the genuinely appealing Macaulay Culkin (right)– wishes his family would go away he finds himself left at home by mistake when the folks leave for a holiday. Cue the bad guys in full pantomime style, with Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern incompetently evil as two crooks planning to break into the (apparently) empty house.
MONDAY
HYPOTHETICAL
SBS VICELAND, 9.20pm
You never know what you’ll get with this zany panel show, and that’s what makes it such fun. Comedians Josh Widdicombe (above right) and James Acaster (above left) have a knack for seeing the bizarre side of life, and audiences have lapped up the past two seasons. Tonight, season three kicks off, and there are fresh comedians eager to join the fun, along with some well-known names, including Richard Ayoade (Travel Man), Alan Davies (QI) and Roisin Conaty (After Life). This week, Suzi Ruffell, Tom Allen, Sophie Duker and Desiree Burch get creative with their answers.
If you sing from the same songbook as Delta Goodrem (below), Christmas is your favourite time of year, hands-down. After her debut festive special last year, which audiences lapped up, Delta is back with new and impressive guests to ring in Christmas via song and style. Joining Delta on stage at the Sydney Opera House will be singer-songwriter Paul Kelly, Natalie Imbruglia, Cody Simpson, Harts, Jason Arrow, and imports Craig David, Andrea Bocelli and Gary Barlow.

Federal government not only one responsible for private aged care I participate in a discussion group where the assertion that private aged care facilities are the sole responsibility of the federal government is regularly trotted out (“Federal responsibility” Letters 23/11/21). If that is the case, why is it that the Victorian Chief Health Officer appeared before the Coroners Court to explain why he ordered the withdrawal of all staff from St Basil’s Aged Care Facility where 45 people died from COVID-19 and five others from circumstances apparently flowing from that decision. If aged care is the sole responsibility of the federal government, Professor Brett Sutton would have no standing. Quarantine was passed to the states to handle by decision of the national cabinet within which those state leaders are clearly in the majority and Labor leaders are also in the majority. Methinks they bit off more than they could chew. Let’s face it, the only state to really accept the challenge, and which met that challenge very well, was NSW which accepted more incoming passengers than the rest of the country put together. The pathetic excuse for an inquiry set up by our premier [Daniel Andrews] does not change the fact that, I believe, it was his government’s mishandling of quarantine that precipitated those 800 deaths. As for the claim that the last lockdown in Victoria was the fault of NSW for allowing its people to enter Victoria, the last time I looked it was the decision of the receiving state to determine who will be allowed in, not the source state to decide who can leave. I’m sure there are many aspects of life which according to the Constitution are [a federal] responsibility, but in practice are handled on a day-to-day basis by the states. I [am] equally sure the founding fathers expected a co-operative approach to governing, not the dissolution of the Federation which some premiers seem bent on. Jack Wheeler, Mornington
Party line for Crewther Some people are not very good at reading the room. Aspiring Liberal candidate Chris Crewther seems to be one of them (“Liberal candidates line up” The News 30/11/21). After losing a seat the Liberal Party had held for over 20 years Mr Crewther put his hand up to win it back but was knocked back by the party. Undaunted, he tried for a Senate vacancy but was beaten by the dubious talents of Sarah Henderson. I think the party is trying to send Mr Crewther a message. Dr Ross Hudson, Mount Martha
Disgraceful decision I read with shock horror the treatment metered out by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council in rejecting an application for a disabled parking permit (“Shire team rejects amputee’s plea for parking permit” Letters 30/11/21).
It was cold, if not calculating, and obviously done in accord with their almighty book of rules. No such thing as sensitivity and compassion for a man who is struggling with his health after a whole arm was amputated and the physical problems of using and parking his car. I think he explained his situation perfectly and if a doctor has recommended he should be issued with a disabled permit how can someone in council decide they know better? In other words, why go to the doctor in the first place? It appears important decisions like this are left to junior staff and not sent up the line to a more senior, if not caring, experienced person to decide. If that was done, I’m sure he would have his permit and not have to suffer the stupid comments from some inconsiderate council officer inferring “he should be grateful he hasn’t lost his mobility because he still has both his legs”. Sorry, but that’s a disgraceful effort by council. Lynton Vaughan, Mornington
Ridiculous definition What on earth is happening at the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council when someone with only one arm applies for a disabled parking permit and is knocked back because he still has two working legs (“Shire team rejects amputee’s plea for parking permit” Letters 30/11/21). The shire’s definition of an impairment is ridiculously narrow and needs revision. Every day, people with disabilities face prejudice. Many simply want to be as independent as possible but find life difficult due to barriers placed in front of them. It is time for the shire to review its disabled parking permit system and display some understanding and empathy for people in these situations. This situation could affect any one of us, including the people who make these decisions - the accessible parking permit team. Sandy Phillips, Mount Martha
Correct decision As a volunteer driver involved in transporting Mornington Peninsula residents to medical appointments, shopping, you name it, I have had occasion to investigate disability parking permits (“Shire team rejects amputee’s plea for parking permit” Letters 30/11/21). Checking the accessibleparking.vic.gov.au/ permits website one of the key points in the preapplication information is that “Permits are only issued to those with a mobility impairment”. That is very clear. Lacking an arm does not impact one’s ability to walk to a vehicle wherever it is parked. Jack Wheeler, Mornington
Overnight potholes How can Tom Haynes-Sutherland, [Mornington Peninsula Shire’s] infrastructure services manager, state that Graydens road is inspected weekly and potholes repaired within 24 hours (“Drivers dig deep over pothole” The News 30/11/21)? The potholes in the paper, must have appeared overnight. John Hodgson, Balnarring
Timely departures It appears that some Coalition pollies are getting out while the getting’s good. Even [Flinders MP] Greg [Hunt] is pulling the pin. Well, let’s face it, I don’t believe he’s been shining during the COVID-19 pandemic, what with the vaccine snafu, all the unfortunate aged care deaths and then trying to blame the states and, in particular, [Victorian Premier] Dan [Andrews]. But in fairness, he does have an erratic Prime Minister [Scott Morrison] to who lies (according to the French President) to contend with. Hey, what has happened to the promised Jetty road overpass of nearly three years ago? It appears to have morphed into a useless bigger roundabout. Hunt has had three shots at being a Cabinet minister and he hasn’t excelled in any of them, in my opinion. A Coalition supporter will think otherwise. I remember when, as the environment minister, he tried to plonk the huge Yawa swimming complex on the foreshore in the centre of Rosebud. He must have kept his head down as industry minister as I don’t remember any outstanding actions. Anyway, with all these pollies leaving the ship, I think Scomo is in deep doo doo. John Cain, McCrae
Lean to the right Ever notice how people are quite comfortable and even brag about being left wing but others are not happy to be called right wing? The minatory, ideologically motivated neoliberal pseudo-Christian extremist government directed ASIO to no longer use the term “right wing” and change the definitions. The minatory ideologically motivated neoliberal pseudo-Christian extremist government allowed ASIO to use the words “Islamic terrorism” for years and years. The minatory ideologically motivated neoliberal pseudo-Christian extremist government doesn’t want to be identified as right wing, even though they support them. Us lefties are proud of the fact that we are left of centre. Can the righties say the same? Search right wing crime stats for an eye opening revelation and then search left wing crime stats. Jesus was at least 180 degrees left of center. Our right wing (oops) government encourages right wing groups and refuses to label them as domestic terrorists for fear of losing the ultraright vote. It does not condemn the Proud Boys and makes no criticism about the right wing insurrection on the Capitol building in the US. One year ago, ASIO revealed up to 40 per cent of its counter-terrorism cases involve far right violent extremism. Donald Trump: “Very fine people on both sides.” Scott Morrison understands the frustration that drove violent protests in Melbourne: ”People were rightly frustrated by the pandemic.” Scott Morrison: Black Lives Matter protesters should be charged if they defy advice and march “taken over by other much more politically driven left wing agendas, which are seeking to take advantage of these opportunities to push their political causes”. The Facebook post of the PM’s remarks cut
out the condemnation and just went with the empathy bomb instead. Do I even have to point out the obvious? Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
Ship in distress Has anyone announced a general election yet? Sure, plenty of rats are leaving the sinking ship and Captain Scott [Morrison] has a few problems with his crew. The ship’s doctor took early leave for a family reunion, the ship’s coxen lost his bearings and headed home and some upcountry stowaway saw the writing on the wall. This ship of fools has now well and truly foundered. Rather similar to the submarine HMAS Otama rusting away at anchor off Crib Point, waiting for the scrap yard. The local crew member from the Morrison pleasure boat, HMAS Canofworms, no relation to HMAS Canberra, has allowed a half decent port, a once thriving township and band of willing volunteers made up of mainly retired servicemen, to languish, rot away and lose hope. Every man for himself, jump before you’re pushed. Don’t worry you have enough superannuation stored up and have expectations of plum jobs for the boys later on. Who knows, an ambassadorship, a presidency of a world association or a highly paid political lobbyist job with all the perks and no caucus or party room to kowtow down to. Ask Alexander Downer or Joe Hockey. Welcome to the future, rust and decay and loss of respect for politicians feathering their own nest and wasting the people’s wealth as evident on Frankston billboards announcing the Liberal Party’s proposed candidate for Dunkley. Expensive push-advertising of an as yet unannounced general election. What a waste of money when anyone with half a brain can clearly see that the sitting member of parliament is doing a great job and representing her electorate in an honest and transparent manner. Ian Morrison, Mount Eliza
Thanks, but … I would like to send bouquets and many thanks to all at Peninsula Health who looked after me in my recent six-night stay. A rush to Rosebud emergency on a Saturday evening where a triage decision transferred me to Frankston Hospital where I received excellent service and attention by every member of the staff. My first visit to the hospital was 48 years ago and, with several stays since then for myself and family, I thank you most sincerely. A Peninsula Health executive decision to permit patients to have unrestricted use of a mobile phone (even on loud speaker) 24 hours a day must be reviewed for the duty of care towards ward-sharing patients’ welfare and recovery. Roger Stanley, Crib Point
History demolished What an irony that the 100 Years Ago This Week article (“A higher elementary school for Frankston) 30/11/21) should highlight the campaign headed by the late Mr Downward MLA. This is especially significant as the fine red brick former high school has this week been unceremoniously demolished. So much for progress. John Callow, Mount Eliza
Tick of approval for schoolies’ move Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s decision to “really embrace” schoolies celebrations this year with live music, a bar, food trucks, peer support and harm minimisation services, has paid dividends. The two-day, festival-style event on the Rye foreshore, 27-28 November, attracted upwards of 7000 party-goers keen to let their hair down after being denied the opportunity last year because of the pandemic. By most accounts, the organised schoolies “experience” went well,
but there were rumblings of discontent over how some behaved, with one 15-year-old boy charged with assault and resisting arrest after allegedly punching a police sergeant from behind on the foreshore. (See Police Patrol, Page 10.) And the Herald Sun reported on the weekend that an Airbnb property was trashed, with “holes punched in almost every wall, doors ripped off hinges and windows smashed … and knives stabbed into walls”. The paper said the closure of police stations at Rye, Sorrento and Dromana due to staff shortages was allowing schoolies to “run amok across the
coast”. Police Association Victoria secretary Wayne Gatt was quoted as saying communities like the peninsula were being “left with intermittent station closures and insufficient patrol units to meet demand”. A police spokesperson said police had provided a “strong mobile presence and bolstered staffing levels across the peninsula to prevent crime” during schoolies celebrations. The state government says police staffing levels are a matter for police commissioner Shane Patton. The shire says the organised schoolies festival was the only one of its
kind in Victoria, and that it had added to the traditional weekend of partying which has become a rite of passage for thousands of school leavers after 12 years of schooling. Previously, there was no focal point for their exuberance, with noisy gatherings on the foreshore and at private house parties often turning nasty. The change in format was also prompted by the limited ability of volunteer support services – such as the Red Frogs and Dance Wize – to supervise the schoolies, and behavioural issues with minors and “toolies”. The mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said a “change of mindset” from council-
lors had heralded the new approach. “Rather than brace for the inevitable impact of schoolies, we decided to really embrace it this year,” he said. “Providing for fun and entertainment in a safe and controlled environment also reduced the likelihood for other mass gatherings, house parties and antisocial behaviour. “The team managed to pull this event together in just 19 days, which is basically unheard of in local government.” Cr Antonella Celi described the schoolies celebrations in her Seawinds ward as “very successful, really good”.

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...
Motorcyclist at Carrum travelling ‘at 70 miles an hour’ Compiled by Cameron McCullough AT the Frankston police court on Monday last before Messrs C. G. V. Williams, chairman, C. W. Grant and W. Armstrong J’s.P, a young man named Dennis William White was charged with riding a motorcycle on a public highway at a speed dangerous to the public. Senior Constable Bray conducted the prosecution and accused, who offered no evidence on his own behalf was undefended. Constable Bannon said on Sunday November 6 defendant passed along the main street and when near the railway ramp, he was travelling at the rate of 70 miles an hour. This constituted a grave danger, to the public, as there was a great deal of pedestrian traffic in the locality named. Defendant said be was not travelling at 70 miles an hour. Constable Bannon: You were going so fast that it was impossible to read the number on your machine. Defendant, who did not elect to make a statement, was fined £4 with 2s costs. *** THE design for the Frankston Soldiers’ Memorial was formally approved at a meeting of the Memorial committee held on Tuesday night. Those present were – Cr. Oates, (chairman), Cr Mason, Dr. C. Maxwell, Messrs W. M. Hanlon, H. Morrison, A. Hill, J. D. Jennings, W. Crawford Young and H. Vicars, secretary. It was stated that the memorial would cost about £1300. The amount in had at present was
IN THE
£625, so that it would be necessary to raise an additional £700. It was decided to appoint subcommittees to organise various forms of entertainment for the benefit of the fund, and as a preliminary Mr R. Fairnie is to be asked to arrange aquatic sports at the Frankston pier on Boxing Day. Cr Mason and Messrs Jennings and Young were appointed to draw up a circular letter appealing for subscriptions to the Memorial Fund, and it is anticipated that generous assistance will be forthcoming. The Memorial is a fine one, and the fact that it was selected from competitive designs by the War Memorials Advisory Committee for Victoria is sufficient guarantee as to it worth. It is intended to have photographic blocks prepared to give the general public some idea of the design selected. Cr Mason and Mr Jennings were appointed to wait on the committee of the Mornington Racing Club to see if arrangements could be made to hold another race meeting early next year in aid of the fund. Mr Vicars, who is in indifferent health, was prevailed upon to retain the secretaryship, the committee promising to provide him with an assistant. *** YESTERDAY, at the invitation of the council of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, Mr Hansen, chief inspector of secondary schools, visited Frankston for the purpose of discussing with councillors and Peninsula residents the proposal to establish a
High School at Frankston. The shire president entertained Mr Hanson at lunch together with the following delegates from committees connected with the Peninsula Schools Association – Cr Boyd and Mr Giles (Carrum); Mr Forrester, (Seaford); Mr A. Corlett (Langwarrin); Cr Stephens and Mr Mosley (Mt Eliza); Messrs Watson, senr., and Watson junr., (Bittern); Messrs Morrison and C. Thornell, (Somerville); Messrs Lucas and Andrews (Moorooduc); Mr McConville, (Crib Point); Messrs L. J. Ward and W. Crawford Young, (Frankston). Cr Longmuir, the shire president, welcomed Mr Hansen, and the following councillors were also present Crs Oates, Mason, Wells, Alden, Unthank, Jones, Murray, McLean, Armstrong, Latham, Howell, Gray and Walker. Mr Hansen said the question of securing a High School was entirely in the hands of the people. He had gone into the figures, and was satisfied that the population to be served by a school at Frankston was very large. He advocated a High School rather than a Higher Elementary School, and on a vote being taken a majority of the delegates favored this view. An inspection of proposed site was then made, commencing with the six acres on the Hastings Road. Mr Hanson considered this area too far from the railway station. He was then shown the cricket reserve site, which consists of 13 acres, and he declared it admirably suited to the purpose. Mr Hansen said the cricket ground would still be available to the general

On the motion of Cr Gray, a hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mr Hanson, who, in reply, said he was greatly impressed with the great progress being made on the peninsula. He hoped the people would act promptly, and that his next visit to Frankston would be for the purpose of securing temporary premises to open up the High School. (Hear! Hear!) At the Council meeting later in the day Cr Gray moved and Cr Wells seconded, that the president convene a public meeting at Frankston to be held at 8 o’clock on Monday night, 6th inst., to discuss the question of the site for a High School, an advertisement to that effect appears in our advertising columns. *** HASTINGS A very successful bazaar and sale of gifts, under the auspices of the Holy Trinity Ladies Guild, was held in the Town Hall on the 18th and 19th inst. The opening ceremony was performed by Mrs Miller, of the Naval Base. Next Tuesday, at the Vicarage, T. R. B. Morton & Son will conduct an auction sale in the interests of the Rev. F. E.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
A Remembrance of Hulk Pants Past By Stuart McCullough SOME things can’t be explained. It’s for the best. Indeed, there are some questions so deep and so profound that solving them would threaten to unravel all of time and space. Now that I’ve hit a milestone birthday, it’s time to look back at my life and return to some of the great mysteries that have followed me through the decades. It’s a journey that’s taken all kinds of unexpected twists and turns but has taken me precisely where I always knew it would – it’s taken me to the Incredible Hulk. It was one of my all-time favourite shows as a child, growing up. Which is odd, given that it’s quite a complex story. Each show essentially began with a recap as to the events that brought us to ‘Hulk world’. Dr David Banner, who is introduced as ‘physician, scientist’ and, I think, ‘double denim enthusiast’, is trying to find a way to tap into the strength that exists within all humans. Suffering a temporary shortage of guinea pigs, Dr Banner decides to conduct these experiments on himself. This, I feel, may not be best practice. It’s certainly not the kind of malarkey you brag about when submitting to the New England Journal of Medicine. Inevitably, an accidental overdose of gamma radiation changes his body chemistry. It could happen to anyone. I mean, who hasn’t been making coffee or tea and forgotten whether or not they’ve added the sugar? Even professionals, or whoever the local café near my office has making my coffee because (presumably) professionals are in short supply, forget
sometimes judging by the fact that every fifth coffee I order has no sugar whatsoever in it. Presumably it’s much the same for gamma radiation. You put some in, get distracted, can’t remember putting it in, so put it in
again. It doesn’t end there. According to the voice over, when he gets angry or outraged ‘a startling metamorphoses occurs’. In this instance, Dr Banner’s changing a tyre in the rain and is having trouble
PROUDLY PRESENTED BY
with the wheel nuts when he goes and turns into the Incredible Hulk. It’s exactly the same when my small skinny flat white turns up without any sugar in it. Unluckily, when Dr Banner becomes the Hulk, he now has the power to get the wheel nuts off but, instead, squanders this super-human strength on flipping the car over entirely. What a jerk. For those unfamiliar with the show, Dr David Banner is a pretty regular, albeit well-educated, kind of guy. The kind of person for whom the term ‘smart casual’ was pretty much invented. I am, of course, choosing to overlook his near fanatical commitment to double denim for the moment. But things get even tougher on the clothes front from that point on. For whenever Dr Banner gets angry, he totally shreds his clothes, turns green and grows a mullet. The credits explain that everyone thinks Dr David Banner is dead. Confusingly, it then shows him standing beside his own grave with what looks to be a bag from Sportsgirl for no reason other than to confuse visitors. Apparently the Hulk is being pursued for a murder he didn’t commit and Dr Banner is being followed by an investigative reporter, Mr. McGee, who I assume works for TMZ. The show is greatly aided by a topnotch cast is the form of Bill Bixby, who plays the tortured Dr Banner with consummate ease and Lou Ferrigno who is terrifying as the Hulk without CGI, instead relying solely on a bucket of food dye. All of this is explained as the opening credits roll. By the time the show
starts, you feel like you’ve already been through an experience. But for all the self-experimentation, gamma radiation and his perpetual fugitive state; the real question is this: how does the Hulk always manage to shred his clothes while preserving the structural integrity of his trousers? It’s quite the thing. Turning into the Hulk makes an absolute mess of his shirts, but he never once seems to split his pants. It’s nothing short of an absolute miracle. It seems that while David Banner was searching for the secret to human strength and endurance, he may well have inadvertently invented maternity pants. Think about it. Clothing that is designed to accommodate a transforming body. I, for one, would love to see Hulk-brand maternity pants on the market. But while there were lunch boxes and drink bottles and even t-shirts, they steered clear of the maternity market. What a missed opportunity. The show lasted about eighty episodes over five seasons. I was shocked when it ended. Perhaps I identified with the Hulk in that he represents anyone whose strength is underestimated. As a kid there was something appealing about the idea of being overlooked but able to transform in a moment of need. It’s funny - the television shows of your youth can transform you back to another time. Just the sound of that urgent piano and I’m back in the family room watching ‘The Incredible Hulk’ with my family. That, perhaps, is an amazing transformation in itself. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Balnarring continues good form, Tyabb bowler takes hat-trick, Seaford thump Tootgarook By Brodie Cowburn
MPCA WOMENS
THE inaugural MPCA Senior Women’s competition got underway last month, providing a new platform for athletes to showcase their talents. Pines, Tootgarook, Langwarrin, Balnarring, and Rye make up the new league. Balnarring have been the standout team across the opening rounds. They took on Rye at RW Stone Reserve on Sunday. Rye chose to bat first. They set Balnarring a target of 71 to chase down. Balnarring made quick work of their opponents with the bat. A great opening knock of 51 from Diane King helped her side to a swift win. Balnarring chased down their target in just six overs. Pines scored a good win on Sunday, taking the points against Tootgarook. After winning the coin toss Tootgarook elected to bat. They got off to a good start, with their opening batters combining for 40 runs. Some middle order struggles saw them finish their innings at 5/76. Pines lost openers Natu Faanana Tauti and Shannon Hornibrook quickly, but managed to steady the ship. First drop batter Samantha Ryan got things back on track. She helped her side to a win with eight wickets still in hand. Langwarrin had a bye last weekend.
PROVINCIAL
A HALF century from Matt Prosser proved the difference between Langwarrin and Red Hill in an entertaining clash on Saturday. Prosser’s 55 got Langwarrin’s innings off to a great start. Langy went on to score 195 from their 40 overs, giving Red Hill a big task to get
the win. Red Hill worked hard, but weren’t scoring runs quick enough. They finished their 40 overs at 6/165, 31 runs short of victory. Red Hill batter Simon Dart was their best, scoring 73 runs. A good performance with the bat set up Baden Powell for a win over Baxter. Baxter chose to bat first on their home deck, but had some early difficulties. Their innings was in a rough spot at 6/67, but the tail managed to wag. Baxter ended up all out for 151, Dale Irving’s knock of 42 batting at number eight the highlight. Baden Powell chased down 151 with seven wickets in hand and five overs left to play. Craig Entwistle top scored with 38. Old Peninsula scored a huge win on Saturday. They made short work of Long Island, who could only put 86 runs on the board. Sorrento won in a low-scoring affair at Emil Madsen Reserve. They chased down Mt Eliza’s total of 92 with eight wickets in hand.
PENINSULA
A CENTURY from opener Brayden Roscoe was the difference between the victorious Seaford Tigers and Rosebud in a thrilling clash at Olympic Park. Roscoe was excellent at the crease. He scored 106 runs, setting his side up for a huge total of 212. Rosebud didn’t give up in the face of a difficult task. They lost both openers quickly, but got back on track thanks to a knock of 86 from first drop batter Kane Donald. Rosebud did well, but ran out of time. They lost by 10 runs. A brilliant innings of 85 not out from Sean
Parker helped Somerville snatch a hard fought win over Heatherhill. Heatherhill opened the batting. They were excellent with the willow, with Matthew Bishop the best performer. He scored 90 runs. Somerville were faced with a daunting total of 192 to chase down, but were up for the challenge. Parker’s middle order knock proved the difference as Somerville won by five wickets, Pines thumped Moorooduc at Eric Bell Reserve. Pines chased down 99 without losing a single wicket. Opener Damien Lawrence scored 57. Flinders had a tough day at Alexandra Park. Mornington scored the win on their home deck by 56 runs.
DISTRICT
HASTINGS have fallen just short of victory against Carrum Downs. Carrum Downs batted first on Saturday on their home deck. A half century from Gordon Waterfall (56 from 51 deliveries) helped Carrum Downs reach a good final total of 169. Hastings’ run chase started with trepidation. They lost both openers for next to nothing. Middle order batter Patrick Wilson got things back on track with a well-taken half century (52), but his efforts weren’t quite enough. Hastings were bowled out for 160, 10 runs short of victory. A stunning score of 91 not out by opener Mark Cooper was the highlight of Carrum’s day on Saturday. They defeated Crib Point by 43 runs. Kierran Voelkl’s innings of 86 was the difference maker at Dromana Reserve last weekend. Voelkl’s knock helped Dromana chase down Frankston YCW’s total of 158 with an over left to play. Delacombe Park’s mammoth total of 224 proved enough to win on Saturday. They defeated Main Ridge by 20 runs. Ben Walker (73) and
Jonathan Guthrie (79no) were the top scorers.
SUB DISTRICT
A BRILLIANT man of the match showing from Paul Nelson was the highlight of Tyabb’s match with Balnarring last weekend. Tyabb chose to bat first and were impressive. Two batters scored half centuries: Nelson with 51 runs and opener Aidan Pateman with 54. Tyabb put 207 runs on the board. Balnarring’s run chase got off to a promising start. At 2/102 they looked right in the mix. Paul Nelson put a quick end to Balnarring’s chances. He managed to take a hat trick, tearing through the middle order in quick and convincing fashion. Nelson ended up taking 4/24. Tyabb won by 58 runs. Boneo and Mt Martha played out a thriller on Saturday afternoon. Boneo batted first. They scored 147, with opener Caolan O’Connor top scoring (49). Mt Martha kept touch with their target all innings long, but at 9/122 with not much cricket left to play looked in big trouble. Number 11 batter Steve O’Neill nearly saved the day with 17 not out off seven deliveries, but it wasn’t enough. Mt Martha lost by three runs. There was more close MPCA action on Saturday, with Pearcedale defeating Ballam Park in a nail-biter at McClelland College. Pearcedale cut it close, but ended up chasing 142 to win with just one wicket left to spare and one over left to play. Skye saw off a tough challenge from Rye. Skye emerged victorious by 11 runs. Seaford scored a big win on their home turf on Saturday, defeating Tootgarook by more than 100 runs.
Kah’s back claiming feature races HORSE RACING
By Ben Triandafillou Jamie Kah is back in the saddle and quickly claiming feature races again with a comfortable win in the Pakenham Cup (2500m) on Saturday. Last season’s champion rider had been off the scene since August

following her three-month ban for breaking COVID protocols but didn’t take long to return to doing what she does best – riding winners. Kah, who often rides trackwork at Mornington, made her race riding return at Mornington on the Friday before heading to The Valley that night. While a win evaded her at both tracks, she quickly bounced back to claim the $300,000 Pakenham Cup with a faultless ride aboard the race favourite Smokin’ Romans. Kah gleefully waved to the crowd as she eased the Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained stayer down for a comfortable two-length victory. “It’s great, terrific to be back, it’s amazing,” Kah said post-race. “I’ve missed it greatly. To come back and get a winner like that is very rewarding and I’m just happy to be back.” Kah shared the success with an elated crowd, taking celebratory photos with the Pakenham Cup in hand. The victory bumped her up to 20th in the Victorian metropolitan jockey’s premiership with five winners now to her name. Last season, she became the first person to ride more than 100 Melbourne winners in a single season.

Two ACLs can’t stop this Van SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie WHEN Alex Van Heerwarden went down injured during an intraclub training game at Centenary Park late last year he thought he’d never play again. The big defender had his worst fears confirmed a few days later when xrays revealed a second ACL knee injury that required reconstructive surgery. It was his left knee this time having recovered from similar surgery to his right knee back in 2009 in his first season with Langwarrin. His route to Lawton Park had come via a junior career in NSW after his family had left Melbourne when he was four years old. His career kicked off with Castle Hill United and he played in Premier League juniors and was a regular zone representative. He also attended the prestigious Westfield Sports High School whose lengthy list of notable alumni includes Harry Kewell, Jason Culina, Aaron Mooy and Matt Ryan. In 2009 the family returned to Melbourne and Van Heerwarden successfully trialled with Jamie Skelly’s Langy under-21s. Van Heerwarden had played as a striker during his junior career winning leading scorer honours from under-13s to under-15s but under Skelly made a successful transition to central defence. On Saturday 16 May 2009 Van Heerwarden made his first senior appearance against Southern Stars at Ross Reserve coming on in the 85th minute replacing Rados Tomic but shortly after was carried off with the first serious injury of his career. He was back in action for the opening round of the following season and when Danny Black and Karl Cochrane left midway during that year he was elevated to the seniors. Van Heerwarden had established himself in Langy’s senior squad when he switched to Centenary Park for the 2012 season joining Skelly who had been appointed senior coach of Peninsula Strikers. He returned to Langy the following season and was a mainstay in the seniors for the next few seasons. He was captain of the side when he quit at the end of the 2016 season and linked up with Skelly again this time at Casey Comets. That was until Skelly answered an SOS call from then Strikers president Trevor Johnston in the back half of the 2018 season and Van Heerwarden was

among a group of players brought in to rescue the club from relegation with just nine games to go. “Some of my best playing moments were there and I think that was because every game was so important,” Van Heerwarden said. “The players already at the club were great. “When you’re playing for a club and you get told that the new coach is bringing in seven or eight new players it would be easy to drop your head but we all bonded really well and we’re still close to this day. “I’ve never won a league but that’s pretty much what it felt like when we avoided relegation that year.” He was back at Lawton Park for the following season when Skelly was appointed assistant to new senior coach Scott Miller in late 2018 and Van Heerwarden was given his first opportunity to compete at NPL level. “The professionalism there was amazing,” he said. “To see the club go to that level was massive. “Although I was 26 or 27 back then I could feel myself improving and play-

NPL2 and reaching the elite club level of Victorian football. “I think the infrastructure at Langy is there now. “What Tanya (Wallace, club president) has done with the council is great and the committee is unbelievable. “The under-21s are in good hands with ‘Caff’ (Ben Caffrey) and ‘Pooley’ (Adam Poole) there and they’ve got some good boys coming through. “They’ll be very competitive and there will be a few boys who’ll be training with the seniors. “The overall structure at the club is good and there’s a clear direction in developing our players through our NPL junior teams. “The club has taken a lot of steps overall in the past couple of years and is now ready to go that one step higher.” In State 4 news Somerville Eagles are understood to have been active in the player market with a number of players linked to the club.

ing at that level was something else.” At the end of the pandemic-ravaged 2020 season Van Heerwarden was undecided as to his playing plans. Still a Langwarrin player he was given permission to train at Strikers until that fateful intraclub game in November 2020 and after surgery in February this year he took on the role of senior team manager at Lawton Park. “I drew on the experience of my previous rehab this time round but I used the lockdown this year to get my body into a position where I’ve got a decision to make whether to play or get involved in coaching. “I’m the fittest I’ve been for a number of years and the lightest – I’m probably 10 kilos lighter than I was last pre-season when I did the second ACL. “I’ve had a lot of injuries throughout my career and bodyweight probably played a part in that but I’m more agile and nimble now and when I run at night my body doesn’t ache like it used to.” While Van Heerwarden weighs up his options he is confident about Langwarrin’s prospects of climbing out of

Stingrays trio Adrian Pace, Connor Guyett and Ryan Maokhamphiou and former Berwick City and Stingrays forward Guil Ribeiro. Chelsea held its senior men’s presentation last week. Midfielder Max Timuska-Carr was senior Players’ Player of the Year, defender Tom Flavelle was Best Player and Top Scorer honours were shared by Piers Brelsford and Timuska-Carr. In the reserves Burak Vurdal was Player’s Player of the Year and Best Player while Adrian Lotca was Top Scorer. Meanwhile Rosebud Heart hopes to have its State 5 South status confirmed by Football Victoria this week. Club president Anthony Matthews and Mornington Peninsula Shire representatives were interviewed by FV last week. It’s believed that four positions are available in State 5 South and a host of applications were lodged. Once Heart gets the green light it will again advertise for senior and reserves coaches and players but the club is believed to have positioned itself to quickly assemble both squads.
