Celebrating 40 years of supporting the community 40 years ago on 21st June 1982, the door at number 1Park Rd, Crib Point, opened to the Community as Crib Point Community House. A small house, leased from the Shire of Hastings, all classes and groups took place around the kitchen table creating a lovely homely atmosphere. The aim of the newly formed Volunteer committee of management was to offer support and education to the community. We continue that today and are ever grateful for our fantastic team of volunteers in the office, facilitators, events and so much more.
Among the activities on offer were playgroups & craft classes. To let mums participate in the classes, we provided babysitting for the children. This later became Take-a-break Childcare with a wonderful team of qualified carers. Crafts were so popular that there were eventually 21 people in the craft group aging from their 20’s to 80’s and all supporting and learning from one another.
In 1984 when Crib Point Primary School moved to new premises in Milne St, we fought to save the original building from demolition with the help of Peter Reith and the late Robin Cooper. It has been home to the Community House since 1989 and we celebrated its 100th in 2016.
Over the years there have been some very memorable achievements including our Ageless Singer who appeared on A Current Affair and in 1999 and with funding from
Volunteers
the State Government, took Community Singing around Victoria.
In the late 90’s we began an outreach program to Somerville and by 1999 Somerville Community House was born and is still going strong today. We’ve partnered with other Community Houses to help those in Black Saturday bush fires, donated item for care packages to farmers affected by drought. We continue our outreach work with Café Chat at local cafés to meet with community members and find out their needs. The Community House is funded by the State Government Dept of Families, Fairness and Housing, and the Mornington Peninsula Shire. We are also grateful to the many local businesses, big and small, that have supported us over the years. Charity work done by our craft groups includes, Beanies not Meanies, Biggest
Morning Tea, Beanies for the Hastings Mission to Seafarers, Trauma Teddies and Laundry bags for our Defence Personal deployed overseas.
Covid was especially hard for our seniors. Our annual free Senior’s High Tea in October, funded by Hastings Bendigo Community Bank was prevented due to covid, but that didn’t stop us. Instead we packed Goodie Bags with everything in them to enjoy a High Tea at home. The bags were delivered or picked up by our seniors. In 2021 we won the Mornington Peininsula Shire’s Australia Day Event of the Year Award. Goodies bags were sent out for Christmas and again last year for the Senior’s High Tea. Our events include the monthly Crib Point Community Market, AAA Art Show, Quilt Show, Craft Weekend and bus trips. We continue to offer a variety of health and wellbeing, art and craft class, including
at the Market
Lady’s Woodwork at Westernport Men’s Shed and Op shop trips.
We’ve partnered with some great local organization including Crib Point CFA, St Joseph’s and Crib Point Primary schools, RSL and more recently, Crib Point Community Support Group for our free Community Lunch. Help us celebrate our birthday at the June 11th Market. There’ll be a Free sausage sizzle as well as free activities for the kids, lots of stalls, a Coffee van and Devonshire teas. We look forward to supporting our community into the future and will always endeavor to provide programs and activities to enhance the lives of our community members.

Talking about backyard hens and sustainability
Talking Hens is a family business based in Merricks on the Mornington Peninsula and sells entertaining, fun and friendly laying hens. It all started back in 2012 when we started a freerange egg farming business in Keysborough on the outskirts of Melbourne. We began selling our eggs to local customers and at farmers markets in the SouthEastern suburbs of Melbourne. As the business grew we started selling backyard hens along with my dad’s special free range chicken feed.
We greatly enjoyed dealing with our egg customers but after working 7-days a week and long hours, we decided that we needed a change. We started to focus exclusively on selling hens to backyard chicken keepers and everything that they needed to keep their flocks happy, productive and healthy.
We moved down to the Mornington Peninsula at the end of 2017 and rented a farm for a year to get a “feel” for the area. It didn’t take us long to fall in love with the Peninsula and we eventually found the perfect farm for our business in Merricks.
With much excitement and some trepidation, we bought the property in November 2018 and began a new chapter in our lives. Since moving, we have been working towards creating a place that people visit as a destination as well as for
all the products and information needed to keep happy backyard hens. The lessons that we have learned over the years as free range egg farmers and working with the chickens has been invaluable. The feedback that our customer’s provide has also been useful in ensuring that we provide the best advice and support to our customers. We have added a complete range of products to make owning backyard chickens a breeze and a pleasure that the whole family can enjoy. We are always looking at ways to become increasingly sustainable in our business and that starts with product packaging. We recently introduced our new 20kg, Sustainable Layer chicken feed bags.
The new bags are fully biodegradable, sustainable and recyclable. Customers can return the bags so that they can be sanitised and reused and receive an in-store credit for doing so. So-far, customers have been happy to return them and pleased that none of the bags will sit in landfill like the vast majority of chicken feed bags. We have also completed a sustainable building on the farm that is made out of hempcrete. Customers can see, touch and experience this amazing building material. We are now looking at a range of other projects where we can use hempcrete with our new chicken coops being a priority. They will look beautiful and are fire, rodent and insect proof.
As we continue to embrace environmental sustainability and circular economy
principles, we want to do all that we can
to eliminate waste. Supporting us on our
journey are the Mornington Peninsula Shire, Monash University and “green” suppliers to help us achieve our future, environmentally sustainable goals. Talking Hens

A range and prices that are second to none David Barke Appliances has been looking after the appliance needs of the peninsula since 1990 and is one of Rosebud’s longest established retailers.
David commenced employment as the delivery driver at what was then Stanmans Retravision in 1984 and quickly moved through the ranks to become store manager after just two short years. In 1990 the opportunity came along to purchase the business and David Barke Retravision was brought to life. Originally operating from a smaller store near Boneo Road the business continued to grow and relocated in 2001 to the large format store it now operates from affectionately known as THE BIG BLUE BUILDING at 1263 Point Nepean Road, Rosebud. David Barke Appliances is a family-owned business with both David and his wife Jeynell working with the team who are all locals and many having worked there for as long as 20 years!
The store is now a member of the Designer Appliances network which is part of Australia’s largest electrical appliance buying group and stocks a full range of the latest appliances from all the leading brands, and being part of the largest group means their buying power is second to none. With such a large range on display there is no need to leave the peninsula. As a Designer Appliance store there is a special emphasis on cooking appliances from brands such as Miele, Smeg, Ilve, Bora, Falcon, Electrolux, Westinghouse and Asko to name a few and the fully trained team can assist from selection and planning right through to liaising with builders and kitchen designers to provide specifications and guide on correct installation. For builders and developers David has established commercial relationships with the largest suppliers to provide special project pricing. Home entertainment, laundry, and air-conditioning are also well displayed, and a full team of qualified professional tradespeople can be accessed to complete the purchase. The store provides a complete solution, not just a product.
David Barke Appliances: Proudly local for over 30 years. Photos: Supplied The latest addition to the product range is bedding and a complete range of Sleepmaker and King Koil, Australian made mattresses are on display. Service and knowledge are the heart of the business and they delight in helping customers make the right choice on their appliance needs.

Pavilion for alpacas and performers THE Alpaca Pavilion at Red Hill Showgrounds took on a new look last week when it was transformed into an entertainment venue for Spark Youth Dance Company’s performance of Satellite. The show on 28 and 29 May, took audiences on a journey through a series of eight dance works by seven emerging young choreographers. The visually energetic work was only the second performance to be staged at the pavilion, but audience members said the aesthetics worked well and enhanced the quality performances. Every year Spark Youth Dance Company produces a series on new dance works by young people aged 8 to 25, and from all walks of like Picture: Yanni
High power bills on the way Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au THOUSANDS of Mornington Peninsula households are expected to face a crippling rise in electricity prices after the Essential Services Commission announced new Victorian default offer prices from 1 July to 30 June 2023. Average annual bills for households and small businesses on the default (standing) electricity market offer will increase by an average of around five per cent. Vinnies spokesman Gavan Dufty said areas on the outskirts of Melbourne, including the peninsula, would be hit hardest when it came to cost of living rises, because areas with poor public transport already faced paying more than $2 a litre for petrol. The welfare agency is bracing for an increase in people seeking support with household costs,
including food and medicines, as they are forced to choose between paying energy bills or putting food on the table. “Essentially, the cost increases will wash through to everything and we expect to see changes in the volumes of people seeking support,” Dufty said. “I would encourage anyone on a pension to go to their retailer and ask for the pensioner discount of 17.5 per cent of gas and electricity, because a lot of people don’t know about it.” Industry experts say forecast rising wholesale prices are to blame, making up almost two-thirds of the increase in the default offer. Consumer watchdog Choice says the continued focus on bills comes as the energy regulator has announced it will soon be requiring power companies to notify customers of whether or not they'd be better off under a different energy plan. Energy Consumers Council chief executive
Lynne Gallagher said the price rises would come "at the worst possible time". However, she said consumers need not feel helpless in the face of rising bills and should push their retailers for a better deal. The ECC also suggested retailers should be proactive and approach consumers first. It also suggests people take action to reduce their bills, including using appliances in off-peak times when rates are lower, which could save around $100 a year. That usually means running the washing machine or dishwasher overnight or on the weekend. Other suggestions include adjusting thermostats, and switching off power points Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s tips on how to save on energy bills: Compare energy bills quickly and easily at the state government website Victorian Energy Compare.

Keep heat from escaping your home by draft proofing gaps around external doors and windows with adhesive tapes or seals. Furnishing windows with heavy curtains and pelmets, window films or bubble wrap. Cut costs of cooling the house during summer by using fans instead of air conditioning; turning air conditioners to about 25 degrees; shading windows. Tips for saving on hot water use included taking showers instead of baths; take three to four-minute showers and washing laundry in cold water. To save on power use a laptop instead of a desktop computer; switch TVs and computers to an energy saving setting; turn off appliances at the power point (except refrigerators, which should be set to 3-4 degrees and freezers -15 to -18 degrees). Investigate solar and battery storage.

Nature strips reflect neighbourhood character Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula property owners and residents are being asked their views on the care and use of nature strips. Although Mornington Peninsula Shire already has a set of rules for the use of nature strips, they do not appear to be uniformly regulated or applied. A walk around many peninsula towns and suburbs reveals the most basic of rules - keeping a minimum 1.5 metre wide strip for pedestrian access - is often ignored. Nature strips have been incorporated into front yards, rocks, stones and sleepers used to delineate driveways and trees or bushes planted to prevent public access. As is common throughout Australia, homeowners and tenants are responsible for maintaining nature strips although permits can be sought to extend landscaping onto what is public land ($70 for works less than 8.5m2 or $171 for tree removal or works greater than 8.5m2). The shire has issued a statement saying that nature strips “say a lot about the neighbourhood we live in”. “Across the shire you’ll find all kinds: from wild and rugged with indigenous vegetation and weeds to manicured, grassed nature strips. “Over the last few years our residents have shown us how much their nature strip means to them – some nature strips really have the power to bring communities together.” The shire says it is time to review its policies and is inviting comment on how to “use, enhance or protect” nature strips. “Each peninsula town has its own identity and characteristic we want to preserve. What can be done to improve the way we look after our nature strips?” To comment on the shire’s nature strip policy go to: mornpen.vic.gov.au/yournaturestrips to have your say. Comments close 27 June.
NATURE strips may reflect neighbourhood character and individual self expression, but they are outside the boundaries of the properties they front and are supposed to provide public access. Pictures: Yanni

Supporting women’s leadership Cerberus: Deputy Mayor Cr Lisa Dixon Helping to break the bias of gender inequality is a long-standing commitment of Council. I have just returned from the Australian Local Government Women’s Association’s Victorian conference, which focussed on gender equality and diversity and supporting women’s leadership in local government. I had the chance to connect with many inspirational women whose leadership and profile paves the way for more young women to reach the peak of their profession. I am proud to be a part of a Council where seven out of our 11 Councillors are women.

There are also two new 50kW public charging stations for electric vehicles in the nearby carpark. This initiative helps promote the uptake of zero emissions vehicles in our community, enhances our tourism economy and improves our community’s health and wellbeing.
Our unsung heroes Red Hill: Cr David Gill We have unsung heroes everywhere on the Peninsula – I met many during our recent volunteer recognition week. They deliver books from our libraries and Meals on Wheels, help with the regional art gallery or join the CFA. There are 36,000 official volunteers and many more cheerfully helping neighbours, sports clubs and school programs. They find many other ways of helping our community. Thank you everyone. I welcome feedback on all matters. david.gill@mornpen.vic.gov.au

Differences over delays to budget meeting Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au SOME Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors underwent “additional training” before this week’s public meeting to adopt the municipality’s $282.8 million budget for the next 12 months. The shire on Monday last week issued a statement saying the budget meeting scheduled for Tuesday 7 June was rescheduled to give the mayor, Cr Anthony Marsh “enough time to recover and participate as chair”. Marsh claimed on Facebook that the report in The News was “misreported and corrected”. “The meeting was postponed to conduct a training session on request of councillors as elements of the new governance rules were not understood by many councillors”. However, the first most councillors knew about the decision to reschedule the budget meeting was contained in an email from deputy mayor Lisa Dixon just after 6pm on Sunday 5 June, in which she stated the delay was being made to enable Marsh to recover after surgery. She followed this up at 9.30am on the Monday, reiterating the need to give Marsh time to recuperate. Additional training for councillors unfamiliar with new governance rules (adopted months earlier) was not mentioned in the emails from the deputy mayor, who would normally be expected to stand in for the mayor.
Rates go up, but revenue down THE budget proposes to raise $206,482,000 in rates with a general rate of 0.11929 in the dollar of a property’s capital improved value (CIV). The rate cap has been set at 1.75% in line with the state government’s Fair Go Rates System. CEO John Baker, in his introduction to the $272.8 million budget, said the 1.75% rate increase was more than last year’s 1.5% which “in terms of current economic trends is not a great outcome”. Baker said it was less than half of the 5.1% March quarter rise in the consumer price index which meant “our revenue has shrunk in real terms”. However, despite “the many competing priorities” the budget was “both balanced and innovative, providing value for money for our ratepayers”.
Social comment: Questions were raised on social media about the deputy mayor’s role, while the mayor Anthony Marsh also decided to weigh in on the debate.
Marsh told The News that the shire’s initial statement (about the need for him to recuperate before chairing the meeting) “was corrected as it was an internal miscommunication - I was always willing to chair the budget meeting [via Zoom]”. “As mentioned in my comment, I decided to postpone the meeting after
consultation with the team as there was a desire for further training to best equip councillors to tackle the upcoming budget meeting,” Marsh said. He later told The News that “the team” comprised CEO John Baker and Dixon. The shire did not “correct” its initial statement to The News, which also
included a quote from CEO John Baker’s executive advisor Amanda Sapolu: “The Governance Rules allow the mayor, following consultation with the councillors, to cancel any meeting which has been fixed and to provide notice of the change to the public.” Several councillors have since con-
firmed that they were not consulted about cancelling the 7 June meeting. One councillor, who asked not to be identified, said actions taken in the wake of the shire’s original statement about the need for the mayor to be given time to recuperate “are attempts to change history”. On social media and in an email to The News, Marsh has criticised this writer as lacking integrity and writing a “lazy report”. “I will continue to comment [on social media] on stories when you fail to seek comments at the appropriate time,” he said. Comment was not sought about the cancelled budget meeting as The News had been told Marsh was in hospital and, according to the statement issued by the shire’s public relations team: “Mayor, Councillor Anthony Marsh is unwell, and this deferral will allow him enough time to recover and participate as Chair.” Asked by The News if he felt that councillors - nearly all of whom have been on council for 18 months - were ill equipped to tackle the budget meeting, Marsh responded: “Not at all and I am confident in the capability of councillors. “This year's budget process is different and governed by a new set of complex meeting rules. We have not used these rules before, so comparing this budget to previous years makes little sense. “We undertook training and we’re on track to adopt the budget well within the required timeframe.”

Group approach: Jon Fly, who is part of a new community decarbonisation group for Mount Martha, is doing his bit to reduce emissions with his EV. Picture: Yanni
Power bid to decarbonise community A GRASS-roots approach to community decarbonisation was launched in Mount Martha last Sunday (22 May) with residents forming a group focussed on reducing local emissions. A public meeting attended by about 40 residents and headed by eMPower Mornington Peninsula, a non-profit energy network focussed on helping communities decarbonise the peninsula, heard that local initiatives could reduce carbon emissions by 70 per cent over the next seven years. Group member Jon Fly said there was a lot of interest from the Mount Martha community in taking a proac-
tive approach to reducing emissions. He said eMPower representatives shared strategies for households, businesses and non-profit organisations to take action to decarbonise, and attendees were challenged to take collective action through community projects such as community batteries, virtual energy networks and solar gardens. “As a result, a local group has formed and we will hold conversations with the Mount Martha community and set an agenda for local community energy and decarbonisation,” he said. eMPower spokesperson Warwick
Beard said the organisation planned to empower communities across the peninsula to decide what best suited their community when it came to decarbonisation. He said the eMPower group “have the data, have the ideas and have the resources to support” community action.

Police patrol
With Liz Bell
Police sights on late nighters POLICE are patrolling late night entertainment areas across the Mornington Peninsula as part of Operation Asbo. Mornington’s senior sergeant Paul Edwards said a visible police presence at some of the hot spots for anti-social behaviour, including Main Street, Mornington, South Beach, Mount Martha and The Esplanade, was helping to keep late night revellers under control. Edwards said patrols have been assisted by officers from the Frontline Tactical Unit targeting certain areas around licensed venues between 7pm and 3am. “Since the start of May, when we started this operation, things have been pretty quiet in the areas we normally expect to see some anti-social behaviour,” he said. Mornington Peninsula Local Area Commander, Inspector Terry Rowlands, said police were preparing for an influx of visitors to peninsula over the Queen's Birthday long weekend. “Everyone heading out for a meal or a drink will see a bolstered presence in the area as part of Operation Asbo, targeting liquor licensing and patron behaviour,” he said. “Local police will be supported by specialist police including the dog squad and highway patrol, making sure everyone gets home safely.” This time last year, police responded to five criminal incidents at licensed venues in these
areas across the long weekend, including three assaults. “By all means have a drink and a good time with your friends but if you're thinking of heading out to cause trouble, don't bother. You will be arrested, you will be placed before the courts and you will face serious repercussions for your actions,” Rowlands said.
Youths sought POLICE are investigating damage to a mobile CCTV trailer which occurred around 8pm on 19 May at West Park Reserve, Hastings. Investigators would like to speak to a group of youths (below) seen in the area at the time. Anyone with information should contact the Mornington Peninsula Crime Investigation Unit on 5978 1400.

‘Kingfish’ reef attracts criticism Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE state government has been accused of ignoring the “unique” environmental qualities of where an artificial reef has been installed off Point Nepean. Designed to be a lure for kingfish, the reef has been put in place despite calls for it to be delayed - including from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council - until further studies had been carried out. In the days following news that the 16 purpose-built concrete “reef modules” had been installed on the seabed their main attraction was criticism. Conservationists and dolphin watching business operators have accused the state government and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning of not listening to them and only acting on behalf of the recreational fishing lobby. “There is no other temperate marine ecosystem that is comparable in Australia and that is part of the reason why Point Nepean and Point Lonsdale have marine national parks,” Louise Page said. “It is also important to have a significant buffer area around these areas to try and preserve the integrity of these sensitive areas. “The introduction of a foreign structure for the sole purpose of catching a specific species of fish in near proximity to a marine national park is counter intuitive and illogical.”
SIXTEEN purpose-built concrete modules have been laid on the seabed off Point Nepean to form an artificial reef designed to attract kingfish into Port Phillip for recreational fishers. Futurefish Foundation director David Kramer, who says he thought up the idea to build an artificial reef specifically to attract kingfish, says there was nothing wrong with the process leading up to its installation (“New reef a lure for kingfish” The News 31/5/22). He has described opponents to the artificial reef - one of 14 deployed in Port Phillip over the past 15 years - as ““alarmists rather than environmentalists … [who] actually have no idea what they are talking about”.
Page says the Point Nepean National Park part of the bay “is much more eco-sensitive than other parts and therefore needed much more consideration than was given by the Victorian Fisheries Authority and DELWP. “Apart from the proposed location being close to the marine national park, the dolphin sanctuary and habitat, gannet feeding grounds and Portsea Hole, it is an area populated by natural reefs and marine habitat including unique cold water coral. Why was none of this taken account of?”
The VFA has said the reef was laid in a sand basin after detailed hydrographic surveys showed “an absence of algae and epibiota”. The chosen site was “equally away from shipwrecks, marine parks, the emergency anchorage and the Point Nepean dolphin sanctuary and “adding structure … will increase marine diversity”. The VFA said the location of the kingfish reef was made in consultation with DELWP , the Port Phillip harbourmaster, the Port of Melbourne
and Victorian Ports Corporation. Page described the reef as “another nail in the coffin for our environment and yet another example of flawed and inadequate environmental regulations” which fell “well short of community expectations in regard to any consultation process”. Mechelle Cheers said no studies or reports had been released by the VFA or DELWP to show how the reef would impact surrounding eco systems or marine life. She questioned why “the Premier Daniel Andrews and the Labor Party have autocratically given fishing lobby groups total control over what happens in this part of the Bay?” “Consulting only fishing lobbyists about an artificial reef for the pleasure of recreational fishers in such a well-loved location to the exclusion of all other stakeholders, such as eco-tourism operators, community members and marine conservationists is inequitable and unethical,” Cheers said. Tour operator Judith Muir said the area near Point Nepean was unique and consideration should have been given to the reef’s effect on water movement and turbulence, the displacement caused by an introduced species (kingfish), impacts of dense fishing and abandoned fishing lines entangling marine mammals and sea birds and kingfish encouraging predators, such as sharks. “Fishers, by and large, are not responsible citizens when it comes to littering, yet they expect the bay to offer up its harvest to them,” she said.

GPs plead for abuse to stop BY TEGAN WHATLEY*
POLICE interview convicted killer Charles Denyer, the subject of the upcoming documentary Revealed: No Mercy, No Remorse. Picture: Stan
Documentary traces killer of three women A DOCUMENTARY about the serial killer Charles Denyer, who murdered three young women around Frankston, is set to premiere next month. Revealed: No Mercy, No Remorse will air on streaming service Stan. The documentary was directed and produced by Terry Carlyon with veteran crime reporter John Silvester developed the project. Eighteen-year-old Elizabeth Stevens, Deborah Fream, 22, and Natalie Russell, 17, were all murdered by the same killer around Frankston in 1993. The documentary includes footage of police interviews from the time, old news footage and new interviews. Denyer received three life sentences with a non-parole period of 30 years. Next year will mark 30 years since the sentencing. Revealed: No Mercy, No Remorse is released on Stan on 23 June.
I’M sure you are aware of the health crisis Victoria, and Australia as a whole is facing right now. Yet, after another day of being verbally abused by a patient, it seems to be lost on some people. Over the past two years, general practice has been hit hard. During the height of the pandemic, telehealth protocols were enacted. This was a much needed and well-received initiative however, it is time to rein it in. Patients now expect telehealth, and expect it to be bulkbilled. It is assumed that general practice should absorb the costs, keep the doors and phone lines open for patients, and keep their business afloat, all at once. Oh, and while we try our best to keep our doors open and look after our patients, we are expected to do so without PPE provisions from the government, while simultaneously being informed we must follow PPE protocols. As frontline workers, general practices were at high-risk of becoming infected. We couldn’t access rapid antigen tests much like the rest of the state. During this time however, our reception staff have been screamed at, degraded, and made to cry by inconsiderate individuals complaining about these same issues. The difference being that general practice was there to help, and instead we were berated. As I sit here writing, I am chasing 18 months’ worth of arrears - patient’s stating that they won’t pay for telehealth and how ridiculous it is to expect them to pay when it’s “just a phone call”. They also expect us to be available for telehealth consultations, and our phone bills to pay themselves. Then came the COVID vaccine roll-out, among all the ever-changing rules and regula-

tions about who stays home, who can work and disagreements about “is it seven days, is it 14 days?”. We received delayed deliveries on all vaccine types. Our consumables didn’t come with the vaccines either, but thankfully our store room had the needles, syringes and alcohol wipes required to run a COVID vaccination clinic, because our clinic was also being advertised online to anyone and everyone and our phones often rang out as we didn’t have enough staff to answer them. It was around this time that we received our PPE goggles, almost 12 months late. Now I have three large boxes of goggles that are no longer required. It was also at this time, that we received daily emails advising that the expiry dates of the vaccine shelf life had changed again. Sometimes they advised that our minimum order had changed to 100 vials, which was far higher than demand at the time but, on completing the wastage and stock reports, you were reminded that any wastage is frowned upon, and incorrect reporting is a serious offence. Now it is June, and we are well and truly into flu vaccination season. It was awfully kind to be informed one hour before the public that a free flu vaccine program would be rolled out, starting the next day. Less than 24 hours’ notice to plan for the impending avalanche of bookings, queries and requests for refunds from the patients who paid to have theirs the day before; not to mention that there was no opportunity to organise excess stock. We will be eligible to apply for a $2000 grant for providing vaccines, but the eligibility criteria and required hours/staffing make this a gesture, not an offer. Perhaps the brains behind the roll-out figured that general practice was already burnt out and exhausted from the previous year, that we wouldn’t have the strength
to fight back. For the most part, they’re right. As I walk into the clinic today, I speak to my receptionists, nurses and GPs. “If you don’t laugh, you cry,” is followed closely by a quiet attempt at laughter and then the sullen face reappears. “When you speak on the phone, smile. It changes the tone of your voice” is met with “It would be easier to smile if I didn’t dread answering it”. I understand that we all have bad days. We’ve been separated from family and friends. Some people have lost their jobs, or work remotely. Others were working from home and now are frustrated to be returning to the office. I understand that you are frustrated your GP is isolating, or fully booked. I understand your child is unwell. Believe me when I say we’re doing everything we can to get that script to the pharmacy closest to you. All I ask is that you do not yell at, swear at or bully my team. If it weren’t for them, no one would’ve answered your call. If it weren’t for them, the clinic wouldn’t be open today and you wouldn’t be able to be seen. If it wasn’t for the team showing up through thick and thin, you wouldn’t have a script to be sent to pharmacy - apologies that it’s arrived 20 minutes later than you expected. After many months, it is time to consider. Does what you’re saying have the potential to break a person? You don’t know the circumstances of the person you spoke to in that way. They have kids. They have been in isolation. They understand that costs are increasing. Imagine the stress or frustration you feel right now, as you rudely address someone simply trying to help, and imagine someone attacking you verbally or physically, at the same time. That is general practice. *Tegan Whatley is practice manager at the Langwarrin Medical Clinic

The Guide TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK
MONDAY
TASKMASTER
SBS VICELAND, 8.30pm
FRIDAY
If you enjoy watching a panel of British comedians try to complete a series of pointless tasks, then this is the show for you. Taskmaster Greg Davies (below) sits in judgement as Johnny Vegas, Mawaan Rizwan and Richard Herring, as well as Katherine Parkinson and Daisy May Cooper, go toe-to-toe in a series of infuriating challenges. After a prize task about finding the “best thing with holes in it”, they are asked to create portraits of the Taskmaster using only balloons, pegs and clothes, before the live task involves guessing which things are making a noise. Keep an eye out for Daisy and Richard’s ongoing rivalry, which is set to pop at any moment.
BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS
SEVEN, 7pm
If you’re keen to sow the seed of a love of gardening for the little ones in your life, Melissa King has expert tips. It’s par for the course that there are oodles of segments – including Dr Harry Cooper attending a unique, small-town dog race – but what stands out tonight is the delicious food. Fast Ed (left) visits an alcohol-free distillery that inspires him to create a triple-stacked chicken burger and Karen Martini shares a wholesome, family-friendly baked fish recipe.
SUNDAY
NCIS: HAWAI’I
TEN, 9pm
If you had to uphold the integrity of national security by investigating high-stakes crimes, where better to do it than a sun-drenched island paradise? NCIS: Hawai’i follows Jane Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) as the first female special agent in charge of NCIS Pearl Harbor, and audiences get an equal dose of crime-fighting and personal drama, for better or worse, as they follow her team of specialists. Tonight, the unit must take down a notorious team of international thieves.
THURSDAY
MINISERIES: DI RAY
SBS, 9.40pm
You may recognise star Parminder Nagra (above) from her breakout role in Bend it Like Beckham or in ER. In this fourpart British series, premiering tonight, Nagra delves into the genre of police drama. Produced by Line of Duty’s Jed Mercurio and written by Maya Sondhi, who starred in Mercurio’s cult series, it offers a slightly different take on the well-worn and well-loved police procedural. After a transfer, Birmingham detective Rachita Ray is handed a case involving the apparent honour killing of a Muslim man.
Greg Davies is the Taskmaster

Unequal access gives edge to Victoria’s fishing lobby David Kramer’s rhetoric railing against environmentalists seems hugely disproportionate to any criticisms that may have been directed at the fishing lobby by those concerned about the siting of the artificial kingfish reef – especially given he’s got precisely what he wanted (“New reef a lure for kingfish” The News 31/5/22). His query why no one cared about the other reefs built elsewhere in Port Phillip is easy to answer: In my case at least, I didn’t know about the other reef building and the location of this kingfish reef is unique. It’s adjacent to Point Nepean National Park, the Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park, and the dolphin sanctuary. I’m guessing none of the other artificial reef locations in the bay come close to that pedigree. Despite Mr Kramer’s suggestions that environmentalists have no relevance in these matters, my colleagues and I collectively probably have centuries of experience and many with relevant expertise in assessing scientific studies and presenting reasoned arguments. Sadly, reasoned arguments often don’t trump influence and vested interests. A major flaw in the environmental assessment process is it’s the proponent who purchases the science and directs its findings. Meanwhile, proponents and lobbyists for projects such as an artificial reef, a channel deepening project, a desalination plant, a sand mine in Western Port woodlands and a massive gas import facility somehow get armchair rides through open doors into ministers’ offices and ears. Environmentalists are left outside or expected to wait months for a half hour meeting with a minister’s (often inexperienced) advisor. Hardly a fair fight, hardly balanced information being presented to the decision makers, so hardly always the best outcome for our irreplaceable natural assets. Jenny Warfe, Dromana
Climate “inaction” The recent federal election showed increased voter interest in action on climate change. However, some companies view carbon emissions from a different perspective. Esso (a subsidiary of ExxonMobil) is proposing to burn ethane gas for electricity generation at Long Island Point, Hastings. The ethane is currently sent from Hastings to Altona for plastics manufacturing with CO2 emitted there. Esso is proposing to burn the ethane at Long Island Point which would increase CO2 emissions on the Mornington Peninsula and generate more industrial noise. Esso states that this method is better than burning coal for electricity – perhaps a cleaner and safer solution should be considered for the ethane. The ethane project is being assessed for environmental impacts by EPA Victoria and a new planning permit (PA2201534) is open for public comment by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). If any residents would be impacted by climate change or air pollution or noise pollution, they
should consider submitting questions or objections to Esso’s ethane project. Clicking a “like” on a Facebook post on climate action is not enough. As proven by the withdrawn AGL gas project [at Crib Point], written submissions are considered by the Victorian government in their decision making on planning matters. Let us hope that our authorities make the right long-term decision on Esso’s ethane project. Dale Stohr, Crib Point
Neutral no more How proud and relieved I felt in 2016 when my local council, the Shire of the Mornington Peninsula, committed itself to being carbon neutral and later, declared a carbon emergency. At the time I thought, if only Australia had a government in Canberra which took climate change as seriously. Well, with the election of the Albanese Labor government, that has come to pass. Bewilderingly though, last month the shire chose to remove the money allocated for the purchase of carbon credits from its budget. This will mean that the shire will no longer be carbon neutral. By removing the $200,00 earmarked for offsetting our carbon emissions, the councillors have effectively sabotaged their own climate policy. The circumstances surrounding this decision remain murky. On Tuesday (7 June) at 5.30pm in Rosebud, council will meet again. Ratepayers will have the opportunity to question this ludicrous state of affairs. Hopefully, the councillors will reverse their decision to remove the carbon credit monies from the budget. In this instance, not only the council’s commitment to urgent climate change action is at stake, but so too is its integrity. Ian Coffey, Red Hill South
‘Reinstate’ money I have been delighted to be living on the Mornington Peninsula with such a sensible and forward looking council that declared a climate emergency in 2016. The commitment to achieve carbon emission neutrality by 2021 was brave and essential. The removal of $200,000 in funding to offset the council’s emissions is of great concern. The removal of this funding seems to have been brought about without any public or council consultation. The removal of these funds goes against stated council policy and removes one of the effective measures by which Mornington Peninsula Shire reduces the impacts of its operations on climate change. The alleged reason for removing this funding was that emission reduction activities should take place on the peninsula and not via an accounting method that purchases emission reduction credits overseas. This is all well and good but to what new emission reduction programs has the $200,000 been allocated? The answer is none. The money has been returned to the general budget.
Thankfully, these matters are on the agenda for this week’s (Tuesday 7 June) council meeting. I call on all councillors to reinstate this funding. If there is a belief that the community would like the council to reduce emissions by some other means, then put this to the community, with costed and verified schemes that will achieve the stated policy outcomes in a more local and effective manner. Paul Saunders, Balnarring
Feeling insecure I am a long term renter since moving down the peninsula in 2004. I have been lucky and have lived in only three places in that time. In 2004, there were at least 50 properties to choose from in Tootgarook to rent. Now, as we all know you are struggling to find any affordable rentals in the area. However, there is no shortage of short term rentals. In Tootgarook alone there are something like 200 listed. This is so wrong. Many people who work in essential jobs on the peninsula are renters. These people now have nowhere to live and will probably have to move out of the area, meaning staff shortages for these jobs. How can we make more long term rental properties available? Can we limit the number of short term rentals on the southern peninsula? Hobart is trying to come up with solutions to this problem and is limiting the number of short term rentals within a certain area. Why can’t we as a community look into something similar? This is a diabolical situation for all renters. Every day people such as myself are petrified that our leases will end and that we will be forced out of the area due to lack of long term rentals. There is no security like there used to be. Karen Moore, Tootgarook
Commission for housing It cannot be denied that we have a severe housing crisis in Australia, both in affordability and availability (“Houses empty while hundreds go homeless” The News 31/5/22). The family is the basis of our society, and a home is the basis of the family. Australia has faced this problem before and the solution might be similar now, as then. The federal government granted huge amounts of money to the states who built swathes of new housing, affordable for the average family. In order to maximise the benefit of this money, banks, estate agents and all other money skimmers needed to be kept out of the loop. We purchased a house from the Housing Commission on a tiny deposit, deferred stamp duty, 5.5 per cent fixed interest contract over either 25 or 45 years. We repaid this loan to the government in affordable fixed monthly repayments, and never spent one dollar with estate agents, banks or lawyers. A victim of fate, with a wife and three little children I suffered a major medical problem, unable to work at all, then sickly for two years, unable to hold down jobs. Yes, poverty. Thank God for public housing; recovery and wellbeing commenced after we moved to our lovely new house at Mornington. Those high rise Housing Commission towers
at South Yarra, Carlton, Richmond and Flemington are all located at the most desirable addresses in Melbourne. Family sized and central to everything, top floor apartments there would attract $1000 a week rent in the private market. Mornington progressed with commission housing estates, most of which are now in very desirable locations. Today’s private housing developments with small or tiny blocks and house gutters almost touching, are tomorrow’s worthless slums. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
Taking turns The political circus caravan has come and gone. The clowns have done their best to amuse us. The advertising drums sounded to attract our attention. We endured adverts beyond measure, stuff in our letter boxes, robot calls. The media ran white hot with interviews, stunts from the political parties, debates, appearances at the National Press Club. The next stage in the left, right, left, right march of federal politics begins. Why don’t we make the alternating left right the system without the vast expense and national hysteria? The focus would be on legislation made in Canberra, holding it up to public scrutiny, improving its quality and the lives of the masses. The money saved could go to defence, health, education, public infrastructure, the NDIS, foreign aid, pensions and so on. We would have a calmer more logical and hopefully better and happier country. What did Robert Kennedy say?: “Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream of things that never were and say why not?” Brian Jones, Capel Sound
A net loss Banning single-use plastic bags is an important step towards keeping animals in the ocean safe, but even more important than the composition of our shopping bags is what’s in them. Eating fish does far more harm to our oceans than carrying them home in a plastic bag. Abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear otherwise known as ‘ghost gear’ - is a problem that spells catastrophe for marine life. At least 635,000 tonnes of ghost gear is added to our oceans every year, killing and mutilating millions of marine animals - including endangered whales, seals and turtles. Swallowing plastic remnants from ghost gear leads to malnutrition, digestive blockages and death. In the Pacific Ocean, there is a floating patch of garbage twice the size of France and weighing roughly 80,000 tonnes. While this enormous area, like our oceans at large, is full of plastic, scientists estimate that 46 percent of the mass of the garbage patch comes from fishing nets alone. So, while many people are stocking up on cloth shopping bags, those who fish (or eat fish) need to re-examine their personal choices too. It’s simple: Less fishing means less fishing gear abandoned or otherwise. Fish are intelligent, complex animals but, when caught, they are impaled, crushed, suffocated, or cut open and gutted, all while conscious. Desmond Bellamy, special projects coordinator, PETA Australia

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
High school - question of site discussed Compiled by Cameron McCullough AT last week’s meeting of the Shire Council a communication was read from the Education Department relating to the land at Frankston, proposed to be used as a site for a High School. The Department stated that it had ascertained that the old cricket reserve was only a temporary reservation, and the whole of the area could be vested in the Education Department, if the council and the cricket club concurred. Cr. Mason said the eastern portion of the park could easily be cleared and made available as a cricket ground. Cr. May asked if the Department had expressed any decided objection to the site on Hastings road. Cr. Mason answered in the affirmative. The land there was too rugged, and would cost too much to put in order for playgrounds, etc. Cr. Mason said it was time the full area of the Frankston Park was developed. A large area was lying waste, and this seemed the opportunity to take it in hand. He moved to that effect. Cr. Latham seconded. Cr. Oates thought that a further effort should be made to induce the Education Department to take the old cricket ground and allow the various clubs to use the playground on Saturdays. Cr. Alden moved as an amendment to Cr. Mason’s motion, and Cr. Jones seconded, that Cr. Oates’ idea be communicated to the Department. The amendment was carried. The president said that while he recognised that Frankston had a big and growing population, he could not agree DECKING
to Cr. Mason’s proposal until he saw financial provision made for carrying out the work. The Frankston Riding had a big overdraft, and it seemed to him that a special rate would have to be struck. Cr. Mason said the work he proposed could be done by “working bee.” Cr. Alden said the Frankston Riding account, under the best conditions, could not close with, less than an overdraft of £1000. Cr. Jones opposed Cr. Mason’s motion because he would not vote blindfolded. He wanted to know what the work would cost. It was resolved, on the motion of Cr. Mason, that a special meeting of the council be held on Saturday (tomorrow) afternoon, to consider the reply from the Education Department, and take such further action as may be considered necessary to have the land in question for the High School definitely settled. Seconded by Cr. Latham, and carried. *** LAST week Mr J. Jack, organiser and collector for the Peninsula Free Motor Ambulance Brigade, visited Frankston, Somerville. Sorrento, Portsea, and Rye. He attended a good meeting of the Sorrento Progress Association, and after Delegates Redman and Tayton had submitted their report of the recent conference held at Frankston. Mr Jack addressed the meeting. He was given a very patient hearing, and it was unanimously decided to support the proposal. Portsea and Rye are doing remark-

Quite a number of young people attended and enjoyed themselves to the excellent piano music provided by Miss Nellie Nichols. After a lapse of five weeks, the Hastings Town Hall committee again met on Wednesday evening, when it was resolved to carry on until the end of the year – 30th June — in spite of the numerous drawbacks sustained. The seats of Messrs S. Cusworth and N. Unthank were declared vacant by chairman (Mr McRae), the former, by operation of a committee by-law, and the latter by resignation. Immediate reply was requested from the trustees as to the loan asked for, and the president of the Progress Association is again to be communicated with. *** TENDERS invited up to noon on Monday June 19th 1922 for making three thousand cement bricks at per hundred, sand and cement supplied on ground.

provided a most fitting setting for such a joyous event. This unusually beautiful effect resulted from pink, shaded lit lamps and masses of pink and white flowers, set off by delicate greenery, not forgetting the magic touch of Misses Young, Mair, Unthank and Gibson, who worked up till midnight the previous night to ensure a pleasing picture. Into this pleasing setting, leaning on her father’s arm, came the bride, most charmingly gowned in white cashmere de soi, with overdress of georgette, trimmed with jewels. A flowing tulle veil was surmounted by a circlet of orange-blossom. She carried a beautiful bouquet of white chrysanthemums and heath. The bridesmaids were Miss Doris Unthank, who was attired in pink, and Miss Waddell, whose dress was a pretty blue. Both wore black hats and carried bouquets of pink flowers. From the church door to the waiting car the inevitable storrm of confetti showered down on the newly married couple. At three o’clock a reception was given at the hall, when over 80 guests were present. Rev. Craig presided, and the usual toasts were duly honored. Both bridesmaids contributed songs to the enjoyment of the gathering, as did Mr Philip Nairn and Mr Waddell. The happy couple left by car to spend the honeymoon at Lakes Entrance. *** HASTINGS Picture patrons, were disappointed

ably well, practically every family contributing. This shows what a few energetic people can do when they have the right spirit. This week Mr Jack visited Tyabb, Chelsea, Aspendale and Edithvale and arranged for a vigorous effort to be made for early fulfillment of the project. On Thursday Mr Jack addressed the council meeting at Frankston with encouraging results, and on Saturday he went to Dromana. When he visited this place some months ago the people were not keen on the proposal, but on this occasion he found them much more enthusiastic, and ultimate success seems assured. Mr Jack addressed the Flinders Shire Council, after, which several of the councillors spoke with the utmost approval of the proposal and unanimously decided to give the movement their moral sup port and financial assistance. *** HOUFFE-Woodhouse Wedding. All Saints Church, at Tyabb, was crowded to overflowing on Monday afternoon, on the occasion of the marriage of Mr Norman Houffe to Miss Edith Woodhouse, daughter of Capt. and Mrs .Woodhouse, of “Arncliffe,” Tyabb. Very shortly after 2 o’clock the bridegroom, attended by Mr Ray Young and Mr Philip Mair, took his place at the altar, before the Rev. Alfred Craig, who was to perform the ceremony. Bathed in a delicate pink, warm light, with a significant white bell over head, the altar and forward part

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
When Emojis Attack! Tales of A Truly Lost Weekend By Stuart McCullough WE were looking forward to it. Finally, after months of talking, we’d booked a weekend away in regional Victoria. It would be peaceful. It would be tranquil. It would be everything we’d hoped it would be. But, in the age of Covid, even the best laid plans can be unlaid, and when a member of the family tested positive, everyone in the house was a close contact. Our plans were scuppered to the point they were entirely and irretrievably unscupperable. To describe ourselves as ‘disappointed’ would be like referring to the sinking of the Titanic as ‘a bit of a let down’. We were completely devastated. Not only could we not go, we now had to unpick our arrangements and reschedule. This proved more difficult than we thought. Our dinner reservations were simple enough – we just had to cancel. There was no consequence and no judgment and we’ll definitely be going back there at the first opportunity. We’d also booked in a fancy treatment. Initially, they asked for evidence of isolation and, for a moment, I contemplated sending a picture of a really unhappy nine year old, before they agreed to a refund in a mere seven to ten days. Granted, a refund would probably take upwards of a minute, maybe two, but I didn’t feel it was my place to quibble. Then there was the accommodation. When we let them know, they were quick to respond. The email was dripping with sympathy, so much so that it was practically wet when it arrived. They expressed shock at this terrible turn of events. They expressed concern for our wellbeing and for those around us. They expressed their steelyeyed determination to charge us the full amount, regardless of the fact that we were no longer able to come. I get it – why should they lose income as a result of our misfortune? But this was three days in advance and their chances of finding another customer was about as certain as the sun coming up. Odds were they’d lose nothing at all.
To be clear, their intention to charge us the full, unholy whack was not contingent on whether or not they could replace us – they were going to do it regardless. Most people try to help when your plans get blown out of the water because of Covid. This person was an exception to that rule. What came next only made things worse. In addition to offering to charge us for accommodation we were now legally forbidden from using, they sought to soften the blow with a hammer. In a futile bid to make us feel better, they offered us a fifty percent discount on our next
stay, so long as it was midweek. As a result, not only were they proposing to take money for a thing we couldn’t have, they were now offering us a discount for something we had no intention whatsoever of using. Because, having been dudded once, our next booking with them was likely to be once hell had, officially, frozen over. I can only assume that the property manager had a whole lot of salt she was desperate to be rid of. For nothing else could explain why she so eagerly sought to rub large quantities of the stuff into our still-festering wound. Having declared
that she’d be taking our money and offering us something we’d never use, she then signed off with a smiley face Emoji. In the name of all that is holy, how dare she! That’s like Napoleon Bonaparte sending a text message to Tsar Alexander, telling him he’s about to invade Russia and ending the message with the ‘thumbs up’. Or Winston Churchill finishing his ‘we will fight them on the beaches’ speech with the ‘laughing face with tears’ Emoji. When judges hand down a life sentence, they don’t sign off with ‘heart eyes’. That would be confusing for everyone. It was outrageous. The ‘smiley face’ was simply not suited to the circumstances. It’s as though she was going out of her way to antagonise us further. It was highly effective. There should be a law against using inappropriate Emojis. I assumed the sender was illiterate, because she was certainly failing to read the room. I don’t know much about Emojis, except there’s one for every occasion. Rather than a ‘smiley face’ perhaps something like a ‘skull and crossbones’ would have been closer to the mark. I, naturally enough, had a very specific Emoji in mind for my reply. What kind of monster ransacks you and then winks? Obviously, I turned to the internet for answers. The website said in the event of a Covid disaster that you should try and reach a resolution with the property manager. Easier said than done - the flagrant misuse of the smiley face Emoji made it clear that we were dealing with a bona fide psychopath. Instead, I took the high road, letting her know that some members of our family would be making use of the property. That the family members in question were two goats and a half tonne heifer with a passion for eating furniture was beside the point. I’ll let her know after they their stay. And I’ll be sure to sign off with a suitable Emoji. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Stonecats extend lead on top of the ladder MPNFL
Every dog has it's day: Mornington got a much needed confidence boost with a 60 point win over Hastings. Picture: Alan Dillon
By Brodie Cowburn
DIVISION ONE
MT ELIZA suffered their third defeat for the season at the hands of Pines last Saturday. The second-placed Redlegs hosted Pines at Emil Madsen Reserve. After a tight first half just two points separated the sides at the main break. Pines extended their two point lead in the third term, going up by 20 at the final break of play. The Pythons held off Mt Eliza, claiming the win 7.8 (50) to 11.10 (76). Guy Hendry was the best player on the day. Russell Gabriel and Shane Savage also impressed. The victory takes Pines to 5-4 for the year. They sit in seventh, but are only behind second place Mt Eliza by one game. The result gave Frankston YCW a chance to stretch their lead on top of the ladder to eight points. The Stonecats took on Edithvale-Aspendale away from home. Edi-Asp have struggled this season, but showed plenty of fight in the first half. They led by 13 at quarter time and trailed by just a goal at the main break. A five goals to one third term sealed the game for Frankston YCW. They went on to claim a 44 point win 6.10 (46) to 13.12 (90). Brenton Credlin, Luke Paynter, and Jimmy Cahill were named in YCW’s best. Frankston Bombers finished the round in third after a dominant win over Rosebud - 5.11 (41) to 17.10 (112). Bonbeach scored a 13 point win
over Dromana, and Sorrento comfortably defeated Red Hill to close out the round.
DIVISION TWO
MORNINGTON secured a badly
needed win in front of their home crowd on Saturday. Mornington took on Hastings at Alexandra Park. The Bulldogs were excellent in front of goal, kicking accurately and making the most of their opportunities.
William Lewis, Matthew North, and Angus Grant each finished the game with three goals. The final score read Mornington 18.7 (115) to Hastings 7.13 (55). The win takes the Bulldogs to 3-6 for the year. There is still a lot of work to do if
they hope to make finals. Pearcedale had a tough day at home on Saturday, falling to ladder leaders Langwarrin. The Kangaroos kept Pearcedale at arm’s length throughout the game, and sealed the deal with a five goals to one final term. Langwarrin took out the win 7.4 (46) to 13.13 (91) Former North Melbourne player Ryan Bastinac suffered a nasty facial injury during the match, leaving him with a bad cut on his eyebrow. The win sees Langwarrin extend their unbeaten run this season to nine matches, they are two games clear on top of the ladder. Devon Meadows were unstoppable against Crib Point on Saturday. The Panthers punished the Magpies, going on to win by 125 points. The final score was Crib Point 7.10 (52) to Devon Meadows 28.9 (177). Chelsea, Somerville, and Seaford rounded out the winner’s list with wins over Karingal, Rye, and Tyabb respectively.
Brooklyn’s ready for the rise in trip HORSE RACING
By Ben Triandafillou BROOKLYN Hustle will step up to 1400m for just the second time in her career when she lines up in Saturday’s Group One Stradbroke Handicap at Eagle Farm. Co-trainer Jason Warren believes the five-yearold mare is now looking for the extra trip after holding her own in the Group 1 Kingsford Smith Cup (1300m) a fortnight ago when finishing in sixth. “It was as good of a run as you can hope for at weight-for-age,” Warren, who trains in partnership with Dean Krongold, said. “I thought she was very good given the leader controlled the race at a steady tempo and she still came home in some good final sectionals. I think she’s now looking for a trip like this and she drops to 52kgs under the handicap conditions so it should suit her perfectly.”
The flashy chestnut generally needs everything to go her way as she usually settles towards the rear of the field but Warren expects the mare can sit further forward over the 1400m. “Over the 1300m last start she was able to sit midfield so I don’t think we need to go right back to the rear,” he said. Jockey Craig Wiliams hops back aboard the mare after finding success on her during last year’s Queensland Racing Carnival. “He the won [Group Two] Dane Ripper (1300m) on her last year so hopefully he can get the job done again,” Warren said. “We couldn’t have her going any better at the moment.”

Seagulls sign Kenny, Sava returns SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie MORNINGTON has signed Shaun Kenny from Eastern Lions and Fijian international Sava Baledrokadroka has returned to Frankston Pines. Both are midfielders and 27-yearold Kenny has extensive NPL experience while Baledrokadroka is a full Fijian international and has captained his country’s under-23 side. Kenny was a contracted player at Eastern Lions and has had to stand out of football for 30 days as he reverts to amateur status with the Seagulls. He last played for Eastern Lions in late May. “At the moment we don’t have enough competition in the squad (due to injuries) and we’ve had to pick some players when they’re not really in form,” Mornington gaffer Adam Jamieson said. “Shaun has a lot of experience at a high level and we’re confident he’ll be a really good signing for us.” In NPL2 Langwarrin also featured a new signing in Brad Chick who scored in a 3-0 away win over Werribee City last weekend. The 21-year-old defender was signed from Oakleigh Cannons and Langy is considering other possible arrivals. Over the past fortnight Liam Wolstenholme has joined Doveton and Slaven Vranesevic has left due to family commitments. Against Werribee it took just nine minutes for the visitors to hit the front when Kieran Dover was put through and struck a low shot from just inside the area into the far corner. Chick struck in first-half injury time with a fierce strike from 12 metres that gave Werribee keeper Marc O’Rourke no chance. Two minutes into the second half a ball from the left found Langy striker Ryan Paczkowski and he hammered a right-foot volley past O’Rourke to make it 3-0. Langy took the opportunity to give some of its younger players game time over the remainder of the match. Kameel Khan made his senior debut as one of four 18-year-olds brought off the bench. In State 1 Mornington got back on track after the previous week’s home loss with a 4-0 demolition of Richmond at the Serbian Sports Centre on Saturday. A Danny Brooks free kick in the 14th minute opened the scoring and Josh Hine gave the Seagulls a twogoal cushion in the 30th minute when he finished off the excellent work of

Campbell Steedman down the right with a tap-in at the back post. Steedman’s superb left-foot volley made it 3-0 after 70 minutes and Hine grabbed a double in the final minute of normal time. In State 2 Skye United had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home with fellow midtable side Knox City on Saturday. The visitors opened the scoring against the run of play in the 15th minute when Ali Ulum turned the ball into his own net after Knox striker Daniel Aye had turned the home side defence inside out. The lead should have been doubled but a combination of poor finishing and a great save from Jonathan Crook kept the hosts in it. Skye levelled on the half-hour mark when Ulum’s corner found Brett Heskins at the back post and the big man volleyed home the equaliser. Chances were few and far between in the second half. In State 3 Frankston Pines retained top spot with a hard-fought 1-0 away win over Brighton last Saturday. Brighton keeper Carl Darling made a great save from a Christian Malgioglio header before the breakthrough came in the 27th minute when Brighton failed to deal with a Jordan Avraham free-kick and Aaran Currie was quickest to react toe-poking the ball into the top corner. Pines keeper Tom Hull made a fine stop from a one-on-one with Brighton striker Dave Nicholas late in the half.
With the wind at its back Brighton bombarded Pines in the second period. Pines striker Joe O’Connor was sent off in the 81st minute after receiving a second caution and Nicholas blew a great chance to level in the dying moments when he skied his attempt from close range. “All in all it was a decent three points against a well organised opposition that have beaten Bayside and Elwood already this season,” Pines boss Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor said. In State 4 Chelsea took care of business on Friday night with a 4-0 home win over Keysborough. Chelsea went into the contest without captain Luke D’Alessandro and vice-captains Connor Scott and Sam Dunn but leading scorer Piers Brelsford put the home side ahead in the 12th minute pouncing on a defensive error before striking a low shot into the bottom corner. A long-range Vinnie Van Dyk effort in the 58th minute made it 2-0 then Brelsford scored from a ridiculous angle placing the ball in the top right corner in the 64th minute and effectively ending the contest. In the 84th minute Max TimuskaCarr pounced on a misplaced pass in midfield and charged forward before finishing over advancing Keysborough keeper Max Krista. Somerville Eagles had their biggest win of the season when they thumped Lyndale United 5-0 at Tyabb Central Reserve on Saturday.

Somerville led 3-0 at half-time thanks to a Tom Simmons brace and a Ronnie Krishnan goal. Simmons opened the scoring when a quickly taken Conor McFall free-kick sent the youngster clear for an easy finish and a few minutes later he was set up by Josh Simmons before skipping clear of both central defenders and slotting past Lyndale keeper Michael Napolitano. Just before half-time a hard driven cross from Adrian Pace was flicked home at the near post by Krishnan and the home side was cruising. A McFall free-kick in the second half was brought down and tapped past Napolitano to make it 4-0 and Simmons completed his hat-trick after being put through by McFall. It was a different story at Baxter which went down 7-0 away to promotion candidate Endeavour United last weekend. Baxter’s long list of injured or unavailable players included Dan Disseldorp, Jack Buttery, Nathan Yole, Charlie O’Connell and Luke Grant and during the first half Derrick Chisholm (calf), Lachie McMininee (knee) and Dave Greening (suspected broken jaw) had to be substituted. In State 5 Mount Martha went down 3-2 at home against South East United on Saturday while Rosebud drew 2-2 at home against Pakenham United.

and a long-range effort from Howie Anderson in the 67th minute levelled the scores. South East United’s winner came seven minutes later when a long ball over the top was blocked by advancing Mount Martha keeper Derren Elliott only for Salim Sensedinovski to finish superbly from the rebound. Rosebud also fought back from a 2-0 half-time deficit thanks to goals from Blake Hicks and Rieley Gill. In the 49th minute Hicks’ free kick was blocked but he volleyed home the rebound and he also had a hand in the equaliser in the 79th minute. His free kick was saved by Pakenham keeper Isaac McGill who then parried Cory Osorio’s follow-up shot but Gill was there to tap the ball in and grab a point.

From July 2022, DenturePoint will be offering digital dentures to their patients.

And since they are digitally created, they can be recreated in a much shorter timeframe than before. So no need to worry if you break or lose your denture!’ ‘I started my business in Mornington six years ago and have been working within dental industry for 30 years. I am a dental prosthetist, which means I’m a denture specialist. I’m also is a dental technician, which means I can do all the lab work by myself.’ Maggie started her career at Eastman Dental Institute and Hospital of London.

Danish researchers solve hip and knee pain from arthritis GLA:D®, or Good Life with Arthritis: Denmark, is an education and exercise program developed by researchers in Denmark for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis symptoms. What does GLA:D involve? This education and exercise program reflects the latest evidence in osteoarthritis (OA) research. It also includes testimonials from people with OA and trains on what works in the real world to help patients manage OA symptoms.
GLA:D Australia training consists of: • A first appointment explaining the program and collecting data on your current functional ability. • Two education sessions which teach you about OA, how the GLA:D™ Australia exercises improve joint stability, and how to retain this improved joint stability outside of the program. • Group neuromuscular training sessions twice a week for six weeks to improve muscle control of the joint which leads to a reduction in symptoms and improved quality of life.
You do not need a referral from your Doctor, however you may be eligible for a rebate from Medicare for some of the cost of the program, if deemed appropriate by your GP.
Can I participate in GLA:D Australia? GLA:D™ Australia is a program for all individuals who experience any hip and/or knee osteoarthritis symptoms, regardless of severity. OA is the most common lifestyle disease in individuals 65 year of age and older but can also affect individuals as young as 30 years of age.
The GLA:D® program may assist with hip and knee osteoarthritis symptoms. GLA:D as an alternative to surgery Current national and international clinical guidelines recommend patient education, exercise, and weight loss as first line treatment for osteoarthritis.
In Australia, treatment usually focuses on surgery and the GLA:D Australia program offers a safe alternative that may avoid the need for surgery. Research from the GLA:D program in Denmark found symptom progression reduces by 32%.
Other outcomes include reduced pain, reduced use of joint related pain killers, and less people taking sick leave due to OA. GLA:D participants also reported high levels of satisfaction with the program and increased levels of physical activity 12 months after starting the program. This program is unique in that the education and exercises provided can be applied to everyday activities. By
strengthening and correcting daily
movement patterns, participants will train their bodies to move properly, prevent
symptom progression and reduce pain. Back in Motion is at 6/2-8 Russell Street, Balnarring. Phone 03 5983 1021 to book your first free education session.
