Historic property inspires art for contemplation AN exhibition by artist-in-residence Rosa Mar Tato Ortega will give Coolart homestead in Somers a contemporary feel this month.

Tato Ortega’s works - photographs, text, lightdriven collage - explore relationships between community and place.

Overlooking Western Port and surrounded by wetlands, wildlife and historic buildings, the 1895 homestead and local community have provided plenty of artistic inspiration, she says. In the past six months, Tato Ortega has captured recollections and anecdotes from nearby residents, taking note of reflections while in nature and photographing the landscape around Somers and beyond.

“I will be presenting artworks that invite the visitor to contemplate what creates a sense of place,” she said.

“Is it memories and experiences, or is it the landscape and geographical features? Or is it the relationships formed and the bonds between place and identity?”

The free exhibition Colourt by Sea – A Kaleidoscope of Observations will open 2-4pm, Saturday 19 May, and run 10am-3pm daily until Monday 11 June, at Coolart Wetlands and Homestead, Lord Somers Road, Somers. Colourt is the original Aboriginal name for the Sandy Point area. For details about Coolart Homestead: parks.vic.gov.au

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bryan Payne thinks the floating gas terminal proposal for Crib Point is “a good thing”.

Cr Payne, speaking on ABC radio on Monday, said the area between Crib Point and Hastings was designated for port-related purposes, which he believed fitted AGL’s floating gas terminal and a pilot plant to convert hydrogen gas to liquid at Hastings.

Although the proposals were yet to go before council, Cr Payne said he believed environmental concerns and the two proposals could coexist.

He said the council was campaigning to have 70 per cent of the peninsula “enshrined” in Green Wedge zoning.

“We are very environmentally concerned,” he said.

Cr Payne’s comments came before a meeting organised by the No AGL Gas Terminus for Crib Point group which starts at 7.30pm tonight (Tuesday 8 May) at Crib Point Community House.

The group has expressed fears that the proposal by AGL to moor a floating LNG (liquid natural gas) to gas terminal at Crib Point could detrimentally effect the environment and pose a health risk.

The group is also opposed to the hydrogen plant being built at Hastings, which also involves AGL, to export liquid hydrogen to Japan.

The hydrogen gas will be extracted from brown coal trucked to Hastings from the Latrobe Valley.

“Japan will get the benefit of a clean green fuel while we are left with the dangerous emissions from burning brown coal,” Candy Spender-van Rood of the No AGL Gas Terminus for

 Landscaping and Gardening Equipment  Bobcat, Excavator & Kanga Loader Hire  Building and Renovating Equipment  Log splitter, Slasher, Stump Grinder  Equipment Hire

Crib Point group said. Speakers at tonight’s meeting will provide information about the possible dangers as well as the environmental implications, and the fact that there will be no jobs for locals.

Information sessions are also being organised by Hastings MP Neale Burgess and an international consultancy firm hired by the business consortium behind the half billion dollar coal to hydrogen project. The project has been promised $100 million from the state and federal governments.

While planning approvals are yet to be given, work on the pilot plant at Hastings is expected to begin next year with the first exports within three years.

Two information sessions at Hastings are being organised by GHD, an international consultancy firm hired by the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain (HESC) project led by Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

GHD says the information sessions are designed “for people to find out more about an Australia-Japan HESC project to safety and efficiently produce and transport clean hydrogen from Victoria’s Latrobe Valley to Japan via the Port of Hastings”.

“This is an exciting joint venture between Japan and Australia, which will put our countries at the forefront of the developing hydrogen clean energy industry, and bring jobs and economic growth to Victoria,” Kawasaki’s executive officer Dr Eiichi Harada said.

GHD describes the HESC project as an “innovative, world-first” with the pilot project demonstrating “the viability of producing liquefied hydrogen, from brown coal in Victoria for export to Japan”. Information will available be at Hastings Community Hub, 1973 FrankstonFlinders Road, 2pm–8pm Thursday 10 May and 9am-1pm Thursday 24 May at the High Street market.

Animal talk

TOPICS as varied as the husbandry and breeding of the royal spoonbill, to looking after a geriatric African lioness, were on the agenda at the 42nd annual conference of the Australasian Society of Zoo Keepers held at Moonlit Sanctuary, Pearcedale, last week.

Keepers from across Australia and New Zealand discussed animal welfare and heard half a dozen other presentations covering the whole gamut of the animal kingdom: from spiders to polar bears.

“The lessons learned in one species can often be applied to other species,” Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park founder and director Michael Johnson said.

“Staff at Moonlit Sanctuary benefit greatly from their association with the society, from what they have learnt at conferences but, perhaps more importantly, from the contacts and networks they have built with keepers across Australia.

“Moonlit Sanctuary hosted the conference to pay back and support the work of the ASZK.” The conferences, held every year since 1977, bring zookeepers up-to-date on topics relevant to their work as well as building with other keepers from around Australia and New Zealand.

“Hopefully, they learned some new innovations from their fellow keepers and will be inspired to be creative in their important roles as carers of their animals,” Mr Johnson said.

Drought proofing the peninsula Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE state and federal governments are being urged to upgrade old water recycling infrastructure in a move to “drought proof the Mornington Peninsula”.

The plan by Mornington Peninsula Shire envisages reusing class-A recycled water from the Eastern Treatment Plant to provide water security for a range of agricultural activities, including wineries, beef production, and agriculture-based tourism.

The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the growth of Melbourne’s population meant existing sewerage pipes could no longer cope with demand. He said they should be replaced with larger capacity pipes with the water pumped to the top of Arthur’s Seat so that it can be distributed to all properties and farms in the Green Wedge.

“It’s all ready to go. A South Eastern Water reserve is already at Mt Martha so we see this idea as a no-brainer.”

“This is a project of state significance which requires a commitment of funding as part of food security, employment, tourism, fire prevention and climate change policies,” Cr Payne said.

The Eastern Treatment Plant, built in 1975 near Carrum Downs, treats about 40 per cent of Melbourne’s sewage from about 1.5 million people, mainly in the eastern and south-eastern suburbs.

Following treatment, some water is recycled, while the rest is piped 56 kilometres to Boags Rocks, near Gunnamatta, for discharge into Bass Strait.

“The development of recycled water infrastructure for food security and maintaining sporting

and environmental assets has been clearly demonstrated by droughts, water restrictions in the past and even by the lack of rain over the last three months,” Cr Payne said.

“The growth of Melbourne's population will see sustainable agriculture … play an increasing role in preserving the rural character of the Green Wedge, the development of agri-tourism and a selection of high quality wine and food products just an hour from Melbourne.”

He said the peninsula’s agriculture industry employed 1289 people. “With access to recycled water this can grow creating additional local employment opportunities.”

The total value of agriculture on the peninsula, including $280 million in value added processing, was estimated at $1 billion in 2014.

The peninsula is in the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Region, the second largest agricultural region in Victoria, and produces about 15 per cent of the total wealth generated from the state’s agricultural industry, from less than four per cent of the state’s farm land.

About 70 per cent of the land is rural in the Green Wedge, with 30 per cent taken up by towns and villages.

History talk MORNINGTON Family History Society’s seminar 1.30-4pm Saturday 2 June at Frankston South Recreation Centre, Towerhill Road, Frankston, will feature Carol Rosenhain speaking about James Lean, “The man who carried the nation’s grief”. Members $6, non-members $15 includes afternoon tea. The research library is open 11.30am-12.30pm, call 9783 7058.

Annual bowel scans MT ELIZA Rotary Club has teamed up with 35 pharmacies to extend its annual bowel scan program.

Of the 217 participants in last year’s program five per cent required further medical follow up by their doctor.

Bowel scan kits cost $15 and are used to test for blood in bowel motions. The kits are sent for analysis and if blood is present it may be due to haemorrhoids, polyps or cancer in the large bowel. The free government kits supplied every four years are seen by Rotary as being more complicated to use and not made available as frequently as recommended (every two years).

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers, along with lung, breast and prostate cancer. It affects one in 19 men and one in 28 women and is mostly seen in those aged 40 and over.

Ninety per cent of bowel cancers can be cured if detected early. Indicator signs include changes in bowel habits; weight loss; feeling of incomplete emptying of the bowel; persistent cramps or abdominal pain; blood in bowel motions.

Mt Eliza Rotary has this year extended the bowel scan program throughout the Mornington Peninsula and Western Port with the involvement of 35 pharmacies.

Kits are available at participating pharmacies in Frankston, Mt Eliza, Mornington, Mt Martha, Dromana, Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento, Red Hill, Hastings and elsewhere in the Western Port area.

Overnight stays Brodie Cowburn Brodie@mpnews.com.au WORK has started to restore a 150-year-old Anglican church at Moorooduc.

The church, built in 1863, had been left unused for nearly two decades before builder Stephen Foster decided it was worth saving.

“There would only be a few buildings older than this one on the whole of the peninsula,” he said “It was sold off and locked up about 17 years ago, before that the local comunity would come down to look after it because of how important it was to them. Since then there's been no maintenance, and it was just about ready to fall over.

“It’s a significant job to restore it, but it’s going to come up beautifully. We saw it on the internet in January 2016 and just fell in love with it, and purchased it straight away. That’s when we started drawing up plans and working with [Mornington Peninsula Shire] council to get everything across the line.”

After buying the half acre block in early 2016 with the plan of restoring the original church and living on the land to take care of it, Mr Foster then went through a thorough planning process with the shire.

He said the plans to build a dwelling behind the church would enable him to protect it from “vandals”.

“That planning process took us 18 months, and luckily the council were good enough to see the value in preserving the heritage aspect of the building,” Mr Foster said.

“It was a long process, but the council saw the benefit of saving the building.”

The property originally functioned as a church and as the first school in the area. Mr Foster is currently sourcing materials in order to recreate the building as accurately as possible, and plans to reopen the property later this year to run it as a bed and breakfast.

“We purchased the property with the idea to build a dwelling at the rear and to run it as a bed and breakfast,” Mr Foster said.

“This is something that is really important to the people of Moorooduc.

Schools ‘ignored’ SCHOOLS in around Hastings have been ignored by the “arrogant” Andrews Labor government, according to Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess.

Mr Burgess said yesterday (Monday) the government had “failed, once again, to address the urgent need for funding to local schools within the Hastings electorate”.

While the 2018-19 budget did not contain “one extra cent” for schools in his electorate it “poured billions into seats held by marginal Labor MPs”.

Mr Burgess accused the government of “politicising local schools” at a time when there was “an urgent need of funding right across our region, particularly areas that have ageing buildings, safety issues or major growth”.

THE federal government has promised $225 million to extend the metropolitan train line from Frankston to Baxter.

The money is due to be announced in the federal Budget tonight (Tuesday 8 May by Treasurer Scott Morrison, part of $7.8 billion for new roads and rail lines in Victoria.

Other projects include North East Link tollway between Greensborough and Bulleen, a rail line between Monash University’s Caulfield and Clayton campuses, the Airport Rail Link, duplication of the rail line between South Geelong and Waurn Ponds, and duplication of Princes Hwy between Traralgon and Sale.

Electrification of the line between Frankston to Baxter was first proposed in the 1920s.

The first “Frankston line” service – Caulfield to Mordialloc – opened in 1881 and the line reached Frankston the following year but was not electrified until 1922.

The line to Baxter was opened in 1888 and used steam and later diesel locomotives including to this day. Two lines starting at Baxter were added in 1889 – to Mornington (closed 1981) and to Stony Point via Somerville, Tyabb, Hastings, Bittern and Crib Point.

The federal government provided $3 million to the state government last year to prepare a business case, which is expected to be completed by early next year.

Proponents of the line are asking for a new station to service Frankston Hos-

Phone scam warning Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A PHONE scammer who nearly tricked a Mornington man into handing over his credit card details and paying a bogus $98 “fee” has him hopping mad.

Sick of late-night charity and ‘survey’ calls, Wilson Golby applied to be added to the Do Not Call register and was told it may take some time to implement.

The register is a free service which can be used to block home, mobile or fax numbers from unsolicited telemarketing calls.

On Tuesday last week Mr Golby took a call from a man who referred to his application to join the register, saying he could complete the process quickly over the phone.

“The man had a pleasant manner and was very chatty and I was being lulled along until he asked me if I had my credit card details ready as it would incur a one-off charge of $98,” Mr Golby said.

“I began to think that this may have been OK simply because of the convenience I would have without those unwanted calls – but then I recalled that the service was supposed to be free and backed off a bit.

“The man went on, saying that I must have a credit card or how else was I paying my Telstra bill but then I got even more suspicious, thinking ‘How does he know I have a Telstra account?’”

Backtracking, Mr Golby told the man he always paid by cheque at the post office and that he really didn’t have a credit card and then … click: the phone went dead. The man had hung up.

“I thought: ‘Got him!’

Calling Scam Watch afterwards to complain, Mr Golby was told: “Oh, we know all about that scam”.

“I said that if they knew all about it then why

weren’t they telling people? Surely it’s their job to tell people about things like this.”

After making further inquiries, Mr Golby was told that “all information is for sale” – meaning the personal and financial details of virtually everyone can, potentially, be accessed by criminals.

Warnings about the scam appear on the Do Not Call Register’s website. Their message is: “Don’t fall for this scam! If you receive a call asking for payment to stay on the register, hang up.”

That’s good advice. But Mr Golby would like to know how the scammer was able to get his number from the federal government-backed organisation in the first place.

“I’d also like to know what they are going to do about it?”

The Do Not Call Register was contacted for comment.

Greens out and about in the field WITH a state election due in November, the Mornington Peninsula Greens and its supporters are out and about in the environment.

A field excursion on Saturday 28 April saw a group tour of the Tootgarook wetlands under the direction of Save Tootgarook Swamp’s Cameron Brown.

Paul Saunders, the Greens candidate for Nepean, said the group was “particularly impressed with range and diversity of animals, birds and plants supported by the wetlands, including many endangered species”.

“Concerns were raised in areas of the wetlands where VicRoads owns parcels of land that permit

a freeway extension from Rosebud to Blairgowrie,” Mr Saunders said.

“More roads brings more cars. We want to see a pedestrian overpass at the Jetty Road freeway intersection, not a car bypass costing ratepayers tens of millions which only serves to push the issue down the road a bit further and, in the process, encourages VicRoads to build a freeway extension through the most biodiverse and iconic land on the peninsula.

“It’s damaging to agriculture, residents and the environment and we support the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s decision to request these offsets be scrapped.”

Have your say Dromana Township Plan You are invited to provide your thoughts on Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Draft Dromana Township Plan and the Draft Dromana Residential Investigation Areas Report.

The Dromana Township Plan will set out the long-term strategic vision for the potential scale and form of buildings within the Dromana town centre and surrounding residential areas.

Both the draft plan and draft report primarily aim to address the lack of building controls across specific areas of Dromana in order to guide future development of private land.

Mozzie trapping in ulcer fight Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A SIX-MONTH mosquito trapping program is underway by Mornington Peninsula Shire to help eradicate the Buruli ulcer.

The shire’s environment protection manager John Rankine said trapping had been conducted from November to April over the past two years.

“In the first year, trapping was conducted at Rye, Sorrento, Blairgowrie and Tootgarook, as these areas have a higher incidence of the ulcer,” he said.

“In the second year, trapping was conducted at Capel Sound and St Andrews Beach.”

Mr Rankine said the Department of Health and Human Services funded Agriculture Victoria to test the trapped mosquitoes. The species are identified and tested for the presence of Mycobacterium ulcerans.

“The results are reported to both the shire and DHHS,” Mr Rankine said. “This information is helping us to better understand the extent of the issue and to design future interventions to reduce the spread of disease.”

The trapping is part the shire’s $20,000 in-kind support towards the federal government’s $1.5 million research program to help control and better understand the disease.

The study is being carried out by researchers from the shire, Melbourne University, Barwon Health and the Department of Health and Human Services.

They will look into how the bacterial infection is transferred from the environment to humans.

The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the shire was

committed to continuing its research into the ulcer and controlling the disease in the community.

“The shire has been supporting research into the spread of Buruli ulcer by conducting a mosquito trapping program for over six months,” he said.

“The shire will continue to monitor and survey mosquitos throughout the peninsula to find areas [that are] mostly affected, need intervention and to learn more about this disease.

“The shire will also continue to raise awareness of this disease to ensure our community is well informed and protected.”

Mycobacterium ulcerans is found naturally in the environment. It is not known how humans become infected, although it is thought mosquitoes have a role in its transmission.

Buruli ulcer has been a notifiable condition in Victoria since 2004, with a steady increase in cases on both the Mornington and Bellarine peninsulas.

Early detection is important. Protect yourself from potential sources of infection, such as allowing soil to get into cuts and also insect bites.

Simple steps to protect yourself include using a picaridin or DEET-based insect repellent, covering cuts, washing and covering any scratches received outdoors, wearing gardening gloves, long-sleeved shirts and trousers when gardening, and preventing mosquitoes from breeding near the home.

The ulcer gets bigger over time, so early diagnosis and prompt treatment is important. If you are concerned seek medical advice.

Bank staff cop a spraying A LANGWARRIN man was apprehended after an attempted robbery at the Westpac bank in Wells Street, Frankston last Tuesday morning.

The man walked into the bank wearing a gas mask at about 10.30am on Tuesday (1 May) and allegedly sprayed a security guard and female bank employee with a liquid before demanding cash.

Police say the 66-year-old was caught by the bank’s security guard and two passers-by in Young Street.

He dumped a canister containing the liquid at a nearby carpark after fleeing the bank.

No-one was seriously injured physically during the robbery.

Police said the liquid substance was tested by a Country Fire Authority HAZCHEM team and was “found not to be dangerous”. The man appeared in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 2 May.

Man sought POLICE want to talk to a man about a car fire in Riviera Street, Seaford at about 11.15pm on Friday 16 February.

The man was seen on CCTV footage, pictured, from a nearby service station at 10pm, on the corner of Reserve Road and Nepean Highway, buying five litres of fuel before riding on a mountain bike in the direction of Riviera Street.

An unregistered Nissan Skyline was then set on fire on Riviera Street.

‘Blind drunk’ report PASSING motorists alerted Somerville Highway Patrol police to a woman who they said was “blind drunk”, 4.30pm, Friday 28 April. The police were finishing up dealing with a motorcycle collision on Moorooduc Highway, Frankston South, when they were told a woman who had been driving erratically was just behind them.

Police watched as the woman slowly reversed away from the scene, with the driver “clearly struggling to

When they approached she reportedly argued about undertaking a preliminary breath test before blowing “way over”. On the centre console police said was a small glass of orange juice, vodka and ice and, in the passenger foot well, half a bottle of orange juice and vodka.

The woman allegedly argued about being taken to the police station, and then tried twice to blow into the machine before recording 0.242 per cent.

Police said the 40-year-old, of Seaford, was already disqualified from driving and had multiple convictions for drink driving and refusing breath tests.

She was locked up for being drunk in a public place and her car was impounded for a minimum 30 days.

An image of a woman police hope may be able to provide information on the missing phone.

Missing phone A WOMAN who allegedly stole a mobile phone while grocery shopping in Frankston last month is being sought by police.

The owner of the phone said she placed it on the counter at a supermarket on the corner of Golf Links Road and Hastings Road, Tuesday 10 April.

It is believed another woman and her children who approached the counter to pay for her items, about 5.45pm, picked up the phone and placed it in her handbag.

The woman is described as midto-late 30s, large build, long straight brown hair tied in a ponytail, with a dark tattoo on her left forearm.

She had black sunglasses on her head, and was wearing a grey T-shirt and black and white board shorts, black thongs and carrying a large brown handbag.

Composer seeks backing for historic opera that was a child’s destiny Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au CLASSICAL musician, Sean Ross, echoes claims by the Spanish artist Salvador Dali that his art was influenced by memories from before he was born.

Part-raised in Frankston and a onetime boarder at Peninsula Grammar, Mt Eliza, Ross credits his then-pregnant mother’s playing of Tchaikovsky on a cassette player with his “destiny” to write an opera about the Russian composer’s life.

“I truly believe my opera was conceived with me, in my mother’s womb, and that it was therefore my destiny to write it. I’d even go so far as to say it was written on the very blueprint of my soul,” he says.

“Listening to Tchaikovsky’s music [when studying the composer at Melbourne University] was like remembering a language I had once spoken, long ago.

“It resonated with me in a unique way, and I just felt I understood it intimately, in a way I can’t claim to comprehend the music of other composers.”

Although a man whose work composing, conducting an orchestra, or accompanying singers at the piano – is steeped in the classics, Ross is using very modern methods to raise money.

COMPOSER Sean Ross with his nephew, Caleb McDonnell, at the workshop of Act Two of his opera in January 2017 and, above, as depicted

by Melbourne artist, Paul McCluskey in 2001.

Whereas in the past artists looked for a patron, they can now look to many sources for patronage, or audience sourcing.

Ross’s efforts to raise money to pay for rehearsals and Melbourne concert performances of Act Three of his opera, Tchaikovsky, Angel of Music with the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic choir and orchestra, with Opera Australia soloists have ranged from radio interviews to Facebook, inserting flyers into concert programs and

the online Australian Cultural Fund.

Although Tchaikovsky, Angel of Music won the Director’s Choice Award for opera in the 2014 Boston International Contempo Festival, that is no guarantee of having it performed on an ongoing basis.

“We have raised about one third of the money needed to finance the [$110,000] project, but need a further $40,000-50,000 by mid-year if we are to be able to go ahead and plan the rehearsals and performances for

as early as March or April, 2019,” he told The News.

Now based in Brisbane, Ross has “plastered a media release all over Facebook”, spoken on several radio programs and received endorsement from conductor and music director Andrew Wailes, who spoke at length about the Tchaikovsky to the audience at last August’s RMP Aria Final. A flyer about the project was included with the evening’s concert program.

“A similar flyer was also included

in the programs of audience members attending the RMP's performance of Messiah last December, so the target audience has been targeted on several occasions,” Ross said.

He is also anticipating article in a Melbourne daily newspaper “in the next month or two, which will no doubt help us enormously, in terms of generating wider publicity”.

“I’m deeply flattered that Maestro Wailes has chosen to support my opera, for it means I’ll have at my disposal the combined forces of one of the finest musical ensembles in the country,” Ross says. “With the added interest from great singers including Guy Booth, Sally-Anne Russell, and Andrwew Jones, it would be such a shame if we weren’t able to raise sufficient funds in time to present the concerts in 2019.

“Naturally, I’ve applied for numerous government and family foundation grants to date, … but, sadly, with very little success.

“Even the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic has failed to receive support from prominent funding bodies in recent years, so we really are reliant on the generosity of opera and new music lovers of means if we’re to see this project go ahead next year.”

Western Port News 8 May 2018

SKYE local Melanie Rees was able to spend every precious last moment with her late husband Joel in hospital before he passed away on Boxing Day last year; but only because of Frankston Hospital’s expanding Oncology service.

The 55-year-old sadly lost his battle with aggressive tongue and throat cancer and spent his last weeks on Ward 5FS at Frankston Hospital.

“If I didn’t have the support of Frankston Hospital I wouldn’t have been able to spend as much quality time with Joel,” says his wife Melanie.

“When Joel was receiving treatment in the city there was an endless amount of travel time, around three hours a day. If Joel was still in Melbourne during this time I would have been up for a bucket load in accommodation and parking just to spend time with him.”

Demand continues to grow for our oncology service, which is why Peninsula Health is asking the community to Take a Break for Cancer and raise funds to expand cancer services on the Peninsula so that families like Melanie and Joel can get the care and support they need, close to home.

Joel was initially diagnosed with cancer at Frankston Hospital in January 2016 after having a series of sore throats.

“After his fifth visit to the GP with a sore throat he was referred to Peninsula Health’s ENT specialists and that’s where they diagnosed him with tongue cancer,” explains Melanie.

Joel then had to go to the city for some of his treatment.

A comedian to his friends who loved to dress up, Joel was doing well until he started getting headaches and having difficulty breathing towards the end of last year.

He was admitted to Frankston Hospital and that is when Melanie and Joel, who have been together for 26 years, received some devastating

news – Joel’s cancer was back and it was terminal.

“It was very quick for Joel. From 1 December to 26 December he was in the constant care of the oncology team.”

“All of the staff were just amazing, they were really supportive of me and of Joel – I used to joke with them that the only thing they weren’t doing for me during that time was my washing!”

“Even during Christmas they made the atmosphere on the ward bright and cheery with all of their hand-made decorations – that to me shows the compassion behind what they do.”

Melanie says.

Melanie plans to continue to support the oncology ward at Frankston Hospital in memory of her beloved husband Joel.

Ridiculous call for another marina It is inevitable that Mornington Yacht Club [members] will call for a marina in the harbour to protect their expensive yachts and the couta boats (“Calls for marina resurface” The News 24/4/18).

We all knew there were going to be storms plus a high tide and a storm surge, but the yachts were not pulled out, nor did they sail to the safe berths at Martha Cove (especially there for such emergencies).

Were the moorings checked? Two of the boats wrecked onto Shire Hall beach had pulled their moorings out. What happened to the club getting new ones?

Has the club forgotten the panel hearing and its findings?

Given the configuration of the cliffs, nothing can make Mornington a safe harbour in a northwesterly.

During the panel 2010-11 hearings, we found that the local residents and the voters (responding to a survey by Mornington MP David Morris) did not want any alteration to the harbour. The harbour is our free water. Why should it be turned into a private boat park?

Mornington Environment Association ran the “peoples” objections: we raised $10 000, mainly in $2 coins from the public to get our experts.

We heard the experts argue that sand and water movement would make an addition hook on the pier worthless. And the club is apparently still thousands of dollars in debt from that third attempt. So who do they think is going to pay for providing marina berths? And the dredging? And the pier again?

And what about the two endangered species of seahorses found in the water in front of Scouts beach? Why should the people using Mothers beach lose their lovely shallow safe water and have boats trying to come into the marina through swimmers and divers?

Please forget this marina business. Let this harbour remain free and usable for the people and visitors to Mornington.

Jan Oliver, former president Mornington Environment Association

Waves of inconveniance So, Mornington Yacht Club is at it again, sobbing about the loss of a few boats and using this to justify alienating even more public land for its exclusive use, not to mention ruining the beautiful views of Mornington beaches and the sea with an ugly marina.

Western Port

There has been expert advice over decades (not to mention common sense), that a solid wave screen creates a barrier that the power of the sea will always break. This has been comprehensively proven by storms every year since the wave screen was installed, and Parks Victoria has spent millions of scarce dollars in an attempt to protect a small number of boats for the sport of the very few.

The yacht club already has the exclusive use of a large slab of public land for its boat storage and club rooms. The pier, by contrast, is enjoyed by thousands every week for walking, fishing and enjoying the views. It is often closed because of all the maintenance created by the wave screens.

The public gets no benefit from the wave screen, only inconvenience.

As predicted in your article (“Calls for marina resurface” The News 24/4/18), there will be a storm of protest from the general public at the yacht club’s attempts at pulling our heart strings.

Judy Smart, Mt Eliza

Quarry not wanted Sometimes it feels like advocacy for the environment and the amenity of our society is a sysyphusian battle. How often do we have to fight the same fight for a clean and healthy living space here on the Mornington Peninsula? The industrialisation of Western Port’s coast is one example, or groups like the Ross Trust, who after not succeeding to establish a landfill operation for rubbish at their old Dromana quarry site tried to start quarrying again at the same location (“Moves to reopen quarry” The News 1/5/18).

After not convincing anyone, including VCAT, about the value of this project for the peninsula or its citizens, now they managed to get the attention of Tim Pallas, a Labor politician, and are hoping to ride over the wishes of its neighbours and the general population. Mr Pallas, for some unfathomable reason, seems to have taken up this cause against the wishes of the locals.

It is high time they, the Ross Trust, accept the umpire’s decision. I, for one, am getting very annoyed rolling the same rock up the Hillview.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring beach

Overdevelopment It was comforting to see Mornington MP David Morris, whose electorate includes Mt Eliza, send out questionnaire cards regarding the proposed retirement settlement at 60-70 Kunyung Road,

Mt Eliza (“Retirement, health village ‘over the top’” The News 1/5/18). How about the federal MP for Dunkley Chris Crewther spending money to support the local community in this land grab issue?

He has a difficult task to keep his redistributed Dunkley seat in the next election which is very much in ALP candidate Peta Murphy’s favour and would be well advised to have a higher profile of support, discussion with community leaders and offers of putting his considerable resources for use by the Mt Eliza voters under threat from overdevelopment of Green Wedge land.

Whilst this 300 apartment size building complex has to go through Mornington Peninsula Shire building approval and has considerable financial investments to enable it to challenge community VCAT actions, we are still yet to see any of the Briars Ward councillors, Bev Columb, Sam Hearn and Rosie Clark show any leadership.

Advice already indicates that this development company doesn’t see any issues stopping it from going ahead with what will be in three years’ time, one, two and three bedroom apartments ranging from predicted costs of $1 million to $1.3m per purchase, and that is yet to include the ongoing maintenance monthly charges.

Inquiries regarding this issue can be addressed to Mt Eliza Community Alliance, PO Box 345, Mt Eliza 3930.

Ian Morrison, convenor Mt Eliza Community Alliance.

No light relief After visiting friends in Rosebud last week, my wife and I drove out to Cape Schanck lighthouse.

Having served there as a light keeper and head light keeper I was appalled at the state of the whole place.

What once was a neat and tidy area is looking forlorn and forgotten.

Pickets were missing from fences, paling fences fallen down or missing, faded tatty bunting hanging from a fence and vegetation encroaching on to paths. Even the flag pole from where the national flag was proudly flown has gone.

There was a general appearance of the lack of maintenance on the buildings, including painting and minor repairs, things that were part of light keepers’ duties.

When lighthouses were de-manned after the Commonwealth government report, Do We Keep The Keepers, it was set down that there had to be a manned presence at the station. Unfortunately at Cape Schanck there is evidence this is not the case.

My wife and I came away disappointed and dejected after seeing our former loved home and place of employment in such a sad state.

One has to wonder what the many tourists wandering about thought of the whole situation.

In the past the light keepers were proud of the appearance of “their” station, but that could not be said of Cape Schanck today.

What a shame our history and heritage is not being appreciated as it should be.

Edward Peers, Camperdown

Heritage saved At the time that the historic Springbank at 5 Coburn Avenue, McCrae and Hindhope Villa, 50 First Avenue, Rosebud were being demolished,

the heritage listed Woyna House at 9-11 Terry Street, Rosebud West was almost destroyed by fire, with the loss of the occupant’s lives. I commend Rosebud’s senior fire officer, Mark Bruechert and his family for saving this house twice, the second time from demolition by developers, and undertaking its restoration to its former glory, a task that could take years.

Ray Gibb, Rosebud

Blight at the bight Sorry Diane Uber (“Rubbish bins needed” Letters 24/4/18) Dromana is not the only beach without bins all year round. The leash-free beach at Cameron’s Bight will be binless as soon as the truck turns up, if last year is anything to go by, and there won’t be any bins provided until next summer. And when they do supply bins they will bundle them all together in one little spot just to make life a little more difficult.

Fred Wild, Rye

Election ploy For years and years the current federal government has denied climate change and ignored all science and UN reports; you might think there is an election on the way and they are trying to trick us into forgetting their real objective: coal perpetuation.

This [money for the Great Barrier Reef] is purely a political ploy on behalf of this government to gain votes and does not indicate a change in their objectives for thwarting clean renewable energy and, as such, should be paid for out of their political campaign fundraising and not by our tax dollars.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

The Star treatment Steve Irwin has been given his own star on the Hollywood “walk of fame”, 12 years after his death. It seems appropriate that his name will be surrounded by those of actors and performers – he acted the part of a “wildlife warrior” well, while in reality exploiting and harassing the animals he claimed to protect. Hauling animals to television studios or ambushing a crocodile with ropes, duct tape, and a camera crew — traumatising the animal and temping other people to approach wild animals themselves or, even worse, purchase one to keep as a “pet” — is neither education nor conservation.

Irwin wanted to be a “celebrity”, which is far more about showboating egos and titillating audiences than education. True wildlife experts, such as Jean-Michel Cousteau, frown upon the idea of hauling exotic animals around in an endless parade of shows and exhibits and disturbing animals in their natural habitats.

Cousteau stated that Irwin would “interfere with nature, jump on animals, grab them, hold them … it goes very well on television. It sells, it appeals to a lot people, but I think it’s very misleading.

You don’t touch nature, you just look at it”.

Zoos and wildlife shows are just that – entertainment, show business. Leave that for Hollywood, and please don’t support any business where live animals are taken from their natural environment, showcased and exploited.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Councillors condemn confiscated cow Compiled by Brodie Cowburn C. E. GOMM, ranger at Somerville, stated in the Shire Council Meeting that be had impounded Mr Martin’s cow and had been called everything but a gentleman as a consequence.

One of the things said was that he was “a dirty loafer for a dirty job”.

That people could say such things of his job was no good to him.

On the motion of Crs Unthank and Longmuir it was decided that Martin be written to and told that he must make a public apology, failing which further action would be taken. *** TROOPER F. A Gould, son of Mr and Mrs T. M. Gould, Nolan Street, Frankston, sailed last week for active service abroad.

Trooper Gould is among the many brave boys who have gone to fight for their country, leaving his aged parents partly dependent on him. *** UNDER the auspices of the Somerville branch of the Lady Mayoress’ Patriotic League, A Grand concert will be held in the Somerville hall on Saturday evening May 25th.

A splendid programme will be presented by the Camberwell Patriotic Players, and a three act comedy ‘The interfering mother-in-law’ will be staged.

Proceeds are in aid of the Australian Comforts fund.

Prices of admission are front seats 1s 6d, back seats 1s. *** AMONG the returned soldiers who were presented with medals by the Governor General on Friday was Corporal F. McDonald of Langwarrin,

who received the Distinguished Conduct Medal for gallantry in the field. *** TODAY (Saturday) Mr W. A. Korner will sell, under instructions from Mr C. C. Smith, Lyndos Farm, Langwarrin, the whole of his stock and plant. Full particulars are advertised. *** ON Thursday next, 16th May, at 2pm Messrs Brody and Mason will sell, at their rooms, Bay Street Frankston, a quantity of household furniture, tanks, sundries, and a lot of useful oddments. *** THE work of clearing the trees and rubbish from Wells Street towards the Mile Bridge, along the Melbourne Road, preparatory to planting an Honor Avenue, is progressing, and in order to expedite the work of planting the tree.

A meeting is called for Friday evening next to discuss the matter, when it is hoped there will be a good attendance of those interested. *** UNDER the auspices of the Wattle Club, a poster ball was held in the Frankston Mechanics’ on Friday evening, May 3rd, and, as is usual with Wattle Club fixtures, it proved an unqualified success. The attendance was large, visitors being present from all parts of the district, and numerous fancy costumes were in evidence, a great number of city firms as well as a couple of local business places, being tastefully represented.

Miss Gray, representing a Red Cross House Badge, secured the lady’s prize, while Mr Wheeler was awarded

the prize for scents. As some objection was offered, however, owing to the fact that Mr Wheeler was costumed as one of the “gentler sex”, he gave the prize back to the club. *** THE little boy Ingle of Moorooduc, who met with such a severe accident, and was unconscious for over a week, is now getting on very well, but will be a long time before he is himself again. *** POLLING in connection with the Flinders by-election takes place today (Saturday).

Electors may record their votes between 8am and 8pm The candidates are as follows: Stanley Melbourne Bruce, 59 Collins street. Melbourne, Merchant (Nationalist.)

John Joseph Hall, Kingsley street, Elwood, Secretary and Journalist (Farmers’ Union.)

Gordon John Holmes, 69 Hawksburn, Solicitor (Labor.) *** CONSTABLE Ryan v Richard Thomas Moore. Mr Utber appeared for the accused, who was charged with stealing four military blankets from Langwarrin Camp.

The accused pleaded guilty and said that his lapse had been due to drink.

The P.M. said that owing to the fact that the accused had a wife and six children depending on him he would let him off lightly. He would be sentenced to six month imprisonment, sentence to be suspended on his entering into a surety of £25 to be of good behavior for 12 months and finding a surety in a like amount.

*** CONSTABLE Ryan v Albert Marks for failing to send his child to school the required number of days Fined 5s. *** AS the committee of the Presentation to Frankston Volunteers movement decline to give a medal to Private C Batterham, on the ground that he was not a Frankston resident, a number of his friends felt that an injustice was being done, and to show their appreciation of his services for King and Empire, they obtained a medal at their own expense, and it will be forwarded to his sister.

The medal, which is gold, and of a very pretty design, is, inscribed “From Frankston friends, to C. Batterham, Allies v Germany War, 1918.”

As Private Batterham was a resident of Frankston for over four years and took a most active interest in church and social events at Frankston, it seems unjust that he should be passed over, while presentations have been made to others who do not appear to have had such a just claim. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council, Cr. Longmuir presented a statement in connection with Tyabb’s effort in the recent appeal for funds for the Repatriation Fund. The statement showed that the Fruitgrowers’ concert realised £8 16 10; Red Cross Society collections £5 6s; while £25 was already in hand as the result of fruit sold by the Fruitgrowers Association, and a further small sum was to come in, making a grand total to be handed over to the fund of over £40.

This splendid result speaks volumes

for the wholehearted response made

by Tyabb residents, and all concerned should feel proud of the success that crowned their efforts. *** COLIN McKenzie was charged with travelling on the railways between Carrum and Frankston without a ticket on the 23rd March last. Mr Joseph Dean prosecuted.

Mr Cook appeared for the defendant who pleaded not guilty. H. H. Perry, stationmaster at Frankston said that he knew defendant who was a constant traveller. On the 23rd March last he handed him a ticket at the barrier at Frankston, Flinders St. to Carrum.

He drew defendants attention to the ticket, and he said had paid for a ticket to Frankston. He told defendant he would have to pay the difference but he said he had paid once and would not pay again.

On the payment of costs by defendant, the case was withdrawn the P.M. remarking that the onus was on the purchaser to see that he received the right ticket. *** SEVERAL charges of theft were preferred against Albt Scarborough and Walter Percy Cook.

On the application of Mr Utber, who appeared for the accused both of whom pleaded guilty, they were tried together on the first charge, that of having stolen four horse collars a set of breeching, and four pairs of winkers, the property of the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 11 May 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Islands in the Streaming – That is What We Are

That was a long time ago. There’s been a sizeable dip in quality since and free to air television is starting to go the way of the typewriter. These days, it’s all about content on demand. We’re no longer drip-fed installments of our favourite series; they arrive in a bundle to facilitate weekends of unfettered binge watching.

It’s probably as unhealthy at is sounds. Some of the best TV shows around don’t survive on regular television and end up appearing in some kind of streaming netherworld where you may or may not find them. It’s so uncertain.

There’s so much more stuff now. Whereas in decades gone by, everyone knew which shows were great because we all watched them at the

same time and then discussed them at school the next day, that kind of communal experience is now near extinct. Everyone knew ‘The Fall Guy’ was fantastic because everyone watched it at the same time. It’s more risky now. There’s great stuff out there that you’re expected to find on your own. There’s a very real risk that you may never hear about something truly wonderful and will end up living without it.

But there’s a contradiction. On the one hand, we’re left to fend for ourselves. It is, so it seems, our fault if we don’t discover something because we fail to trawl the Internet for hours.

However, there are all sorts of rules that apply at a household level for how you engage with

the world of content on demand. The ability to binge-watch doesn’t mean you should, especially when you live with another person.

I’ll admit I’m still figuring out the rules as I try to come to terms with streaming. The first thing I’ve learned if that if you’re watching a series with your spouse, you can only watch it when you’re together. Skipping ahead a few episodes is strictly prohibited. Even if done in secret, you will surely be found out and nothing is quite so painful as an accusation that you’ve already watched an episode. Especially when it’s true.

Whether it’s because you’ve made the mistake of scrolling through something on your phone or – worse still – have said something along the lines of ‘this is a good bit’, your failure to wait will be found out.

The second thing I’ve learned is that these rules are extremely flexible. If I continue watching something on my own, it’s a betrayal.

However, if I get home and find out that my wife has watched all five seasons of ‘Friday Night Lights’ without me, it’s my fault for having left the house. In fact, one the challenges that couples face is how to cultivate a viewing list to enjoy together in a world that encourages you to make a list that’s all your own. The various devices that now rule over us encourage this separation. Families once gathered around TV sets like an open fire. Now everyone can be off in their rooms watching whatever they please through an Ipad. I’m not sure it’s a good thing.

There are nights when we struggle to choose.

I understand that – technically speaking – delivering the power of choice to the viewer is a good thing. I’m just not sure I know what to do with that kind of awesome responsibility. There’s a lot to be said for being drip fed entertainment on a regular, predictable basis. It’s a lot to take in. I might go sit by the creek at my father’s place and think a while. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

For heaven’s sake, I’ve even started drawing emojis in my handwritten correspondence. I’ve also conquered social media by making a special effort to read the newspaper over some unsuspecting soul’s shoulder while on public transport. But despite this unwavering commitment to modernity, I’ll admit there are some things I’m struggling with.

My father’s place has bushland and paddocks full of grass. It also has a creek running right through the middle of it. Until 12 months ago, I thought ‘streaming’ was what happens when you attempt to cross the creek but your gumboot gets stuck in the mud and you fall in. But, as it turns out, it has little to do with aquatic misadventures and everything to do with how you watch television. Suffice to say, the world that I knew growing up has very near vanished.

As a kid, television stations ruled our lives. We determined what we did around an unbending schedule of programming excellence. What the current generation fails to understand is that back in the seventies and eighties, everything on television was completely awesome. Even the test pattern. This was back before reality television was invented or those weird programs that are little more than a giant advert for a sub-par product you don’t need existed. We were happy to build our lives around the TV Guide to make sure that we missed nothing. It was, I guess, an early example of FOMO before FOMO was even invented. It was an unspoken social contract – we scheduled our lives around a television show so long as television stations kept on giving us amazing TV shows.

Bonbeach best Bombers in nailbiter DIVISION ONE

A four point thriller between Bonbeach and Frankston Bombers was the standout of a number of tight contests in MPNFL Division One football this weekend.

Three goals from former Sydney Swan Trent Dennis-Lane saw Bonbeach narrowly defeat a Bombers side that held the lead at each of the major breaks in the game. With a comfortable 15 point advantage at three-quarter time, Frankston looked well and truly home before a final quarter comeback saw Bonbeach take advantage of Frankston’s poor goal kicking accuracy and end the game just ahead, winning 10.10 (70) to 8.18 (66).

The four points earned by Bonbeach saw them jump up the ladder to sixth place with three wins and three losses after an inconsistent start to their season. They will be hoping the momentum from the win on Saturday will carry into next week, when they take on last placed Mornington at Alexandra Park.

Despite not quite getting across the line, it was Mornington who produced perhaps the most impressive performance across the weekend, nearly pulling off an almighty upset in a hearty effort against top of the ladder Frankston YCW. Frankston YCW, dominant premiers of the 2017 Peninsula League and undefeated so far this season, will have expected to brush aside the lowly Mornington with ease. Mornington have yet to register a win all season and were coming off a comprehensive 10 goal loss to Sorrento last week, but this seemed not to faze an inspired Mornington at all.

To the shock of the home crowd, their side went into quarter time in front before going on to expand their lead to 23 points by the half time break. YCW were not doing themselves any favours either, and by three-quarter time had kicked a dismal three goals and 13 behinds.

Unfortunately for Mornington, Frankston YCW were able to find another gear for the last quarter, holding their opponents goalless and kicking five of their own to overrun Mornington 7.12 (54) to 8.18 (66).

Mornington’s courageous effort was headlined by a star performance from Jackson Calder, who booted four goals in his side’s valiant attempt at victory. The side will be looking to turn these positive signs into a positive result, and will take a lot of confidence into their clash against Bonbeach at home next week.

At Eric Bell Reserve, another side was made to

Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly loses cancer fight

rue poor form in front of goal as Pines went down at home to Sorrento Sharks. Pines struggled to recover from an incredibly frustrating first quarter, in which they failed to register a goal but managed to put six behinds on the scoreboard.

Sorrento also struggled for accuracy in front of goals, but ultimately three goals from Luke Tapscott saw them come out as victors, winning 10.18 (78) to Pines’ 8.19 (67).

At Rosebud’s Olympic Oval the home side nearly secured their second victory of the season in a neck and neck battle with EdithvaleAspendale, but ultimately fell short by just seven

points, losing 10.13 (73) to 11.14 (80) thanks to three goals from Edithvale-Aspendale’s Brent Bowden.

It was also another tough week for Seaford, who were easily overrun at home by third placed Mt Eliza. After an almighty battle that saw them only walk away with a draw last week, Seaford were not able to bounce back to find a positive result on Saturday. The club has now failed to secure a win since Round One, and is in danger of slipping further down the ladder against second place Sorrento next weekend at David McFarlane Reserve.

IT is with great sadness that we announce we have lost our colleague, Andrew Kelly, to cancer.

Andrew wrote sport for Mornington Peninsula News Group since 2012, but had been a fixture of local football for decades.

He called football for RPPFM, and was widely known as the ‘voice’ of footy on the peninsula.

Andrew was diagnosed with cancer early this year, and died on Saturday morning, 5 May. Andrew’s family put out the following statement: “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who messaged Toe Punt to support, encourage and send best wishes over the course of his battle with cancer.

“We are grateful he was able to see how loved and admired he was in the football community.

“He sadly lost the fight this morning at 9am. He fought hard and was dignified to the end and will forever be in our hearts.”

Despite his illness, and in the end the dire prognosis, Andrew continued to write.

Apart from one week missed during his cancer battle, Andrew wrote up until the week before his death, only unable to file stories on local football last week due to his deteriorating health.

It was a testament to his dedication, and his love for his sport and the community in which it is played.

Our condolences to the Kelly family.

Dromana trump Chelsea in clash of undefeated sides DIVISION TWO

THE top of the ladder clash between Dromana and Chelsea was the headliner of the MPNFL Division Two competition this weekend, in a match that saw two sides both sitting undefeated going into Round Five do battle.

The much anticipated contest took place at Chelsea Reserve, and saw the home side start strong to go into quarter time in front by a goal. Despite these early signs of fight, it did not take much longer for Dromana to stamp their authority on the game, eventually running away to a comfortable lead they would hold for the rest of the match.

Once Dromana got going there was little that could be done to stop them, with Ben Holmes and Ethan Johnstone kicking three goals each to take their season totals to an impressive 16 and 17 respectively. Dromana’s Joshua Bateman also joined contributed to the scoreboard with a three goal performance of his own, which helped his side record an easy 7.10 (52) to 13.16 (94) victory.

The clash between Tyabb and Crib Point was also an intriguing one, for entirely different reasons. Unlike the other top of the ladder battle on Saturday, this match featured two sides yet to record a win four rounds into

the season.

Both clubs have struggled this season, and entered the clash desperate to break their ducks. The match however was almost over as soon as it began, as a seven goal to zip first quarter saw Tyabb take an unassailable lead into quarter time.

After going into the first break 48 points down, Crib Point fought hard to keep the result respectable, and only ended up going down by 55 points with the final score 15.12 (102) to 6.11 (47).

At RJ Rowley Reserve, Rye were forced to work hard at home to best Langwarrin.

The kangas were kept in the game by Jesse Murphy, who finished with five goals to add to his tally of four goals in each of his last two games, but ultimately he was not able to drag his side to victory.

Despite Langwarrin only trailing by two points ten minutes into the final quarter, Rye comfortably kicked away to record an impressive victory to take them to sixth on the ladder, winning 13.17 (95) to 11.8 (74).

Elsewhere on Saturday, Devon Meadows struggled at home in a low scoring affair against Red Hill, who recorded their third consecutive win after a shaky start to the season. Red Hill led throughout the day, and

although the gap had been closed to just ten points at three-quarter time, Red Hill managed to hold on to record a comfortable win 7.6 (48) to 9.12 (66), with Harry Wynn-Pope named as the best on ground.

It was also another disappointing weekend for lowly 11th placed Pearcedale who were easily beaten by a freely scoring Karingal side.

Karingal’s Matthew Stanley may have impressed last week with five goals, but this Saturday bested that effort with an incredible seven goal haul to sink a Pearcedale side that were never a chance. Karingal piled on 20 goals to wrap up a comprehensive victory, 12.8 (80) to 20.18 (138).

Hastings’ Thomas Barclay Oval played host to the final match of the day, which saw the home side visited by Somerville.

The best on ground on the day was Hastings’ Luke Hewitt, who proved the difference between the two sides. His five goals took his tally for the season to 20 and took his side to a comfortable victory.

The final score was Hasting 11.12 (78) besting Sorrento 7.12 (54), a result which will fill Hastings with confidence leading up to their big clash against unbeaten Dromana away from home next Saturday.

Jamieson resigns as Mornington coach SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie ADAM Jamieson ended a 10-year association with Mornington when he resigned on Saturday morning.

The news rocked the Dallas Brooks Park outfit as it prepared to do battle with visitors South Springvale in their State 1 South-East fixture.

Jamieson cited work commitments as the principle reason for his departure.

“I have a lot going on with business and I can’t give Mornington 100 percent commitment anymore,” he said.

“It’s been my second home for a long period but I just knew that my time had come.

“I want to thank the committee for everything they’ve done for me. It’s been a brilliant place to be and I hope that the work we have started can be continued.”

Jamieson, 41, played with Skye Rovers and Frankston United as a junior and his senior career involved stints with Caulfield City, Springvale City and Frankston Pines.

Injury ended his career when he was 23 and he switched to coaching at Frankston Pines, the senior club he’d played for the longest.

He assisted Stan Webster and Craig Lewis until the latter took up a job offer in Dubai part of the way through the 2006 Victorian Premier League season.

Jamieson stepped into the breach and although Pines were relegated they bounced straight back the following year by winning the Division One championship in Jamieson’s first full season as a senior coach.

He left Pines after seven games of the 2008 season and in 2009 took over the reins at Mornington taking the club from Provisional League to the verge of NPL ranks and winning State 1 championships in 2015 and 2016.

“It’s a really sad day for the club,” Mornington president Matt Cameron said.

“Adam’s been much more than a coach, he’s been my best mate and he’s a legend here so Saturday was a very emotional day for all of us.

“That’s typical of him though – he felt he couldn’t give his best to the club so he stepped aside. That’s the sort of man he is.”

Assistant coach Dale White took charge when Mornington comfortably accounted for South Springvale 3-0 last weekend.

So far the season has proven to be a pointless exercise for the visitors

and their cause wasn’t helped when Sammy Orritt converted from the penalty spot in the 17th minute.

Veteran striker Wayne Gordon scored twice in the second half, the first from a long ball by keeper Liam Little which sent Orritt down the right and his cross to the far post was headed in.

Orritt also was the provider for Gordon’s second which sealed the issue.

In NPL2 news Langwarrin defied the odds to defeat North Geelong 3-1 at Lara’s Elcho Park on Saturday.

all sidelined along with suspended midfielder Mat Luak.

Viktor Medini lined up at right back with Jon Guthrie at left back and Dylan Kilner made his NPL debut alongside Andy McLean in the heart of defence.

North Geelong had dumped Langy out of the FFA Cup in late March and went into the contest expecting a win.

But the Croatian-backed club didn’t reckon on two smash-and-grab goals from Liam Baxter in the 34th minute and Callum Goulding in the 42nd minute that gave the visitors a 2-0 half-time lead.

3-0 in the 58th minute.

North Geelong hit back through Ryan Opperman two minutes later but a man-of-the-match performance from Kilner and some outstanding saves from Langy custodian Robbie Acs gained a valuable three points for the visitors.

In State 2 South-East news both Frankston Pines and Peninsula Strikers suffered 3-1 losses away from home to Knox City and Mooroolbark respectively.

A Jordan Avraham overhead kick put Knox ahead in the 19th minute of their clash with Pines but the visitors levelled in the 39th minute when CJ Hodgson was brought down by Knox keeper Colin McCormack and converted from the spot.

Former Pines striker Matthew Hames made it 2-0 in the 58th minute when he charged onto a long ball and lobbed Pines keeper Jarrod Nardino and Hames’ second goal in the 81st minute ended Pines’ resistance.

“I think a few people got intimidated even before we kicked a ball,” said Pines gaffer Paul Williams.

“But I can’t take anything away from them (Knox) because they thoroughly deserved their win.”

Strikers started the season eyeing promotion but find themselves in the relegation zone after four losses in five games.

Sean Perrin (17th minute), George Aratzis (65th) and Ross Clark (69th) scored for previously winless Mooroolbark while Ryan Thompson (61st) scored for Strikers.

Saturday’s State 3 South-East derby ended in a 3-1 home win for Skye United over Seaford United.

Seaford surprised its opponent with a superb strike from just outside the area by Adrian Pace in the 37th minute but a Cam Leopold effort from 30 metres dipped and swerved past Seaford keeper Ugur Erdem a minute before the interval.

A sweeping Skye move five minutes into the second half involving Marcus Collier, Jason Nowakowksi and Caleb Nicholes ended with a first-time Nicholes shot which Erdem did well to block with his feet.

The deadlock was broken in the 69th minute when a superb chip from the right of the area by Daniel Attard picked out an unmarked Nicholes who headed home at the far post.

When Nicholes was allowed time to chest the ball down then turn and strike a low shot into the far corner in the 75th minute the contest was over.

back from suspension and although Skye will be content with three points it will need to improve if it is to mount a serious promotion campaign.

Meanwhile Baxter lost 3-0 away to Hampton Park United in their State 4 South clash on Saturday.

A forgettable first half was followed by a controversial second period.

In the 65th minute an attempted clearance by Heath Goss cannoned off Hampton Park’s Ahmad Suleiman for the opener.

In the 75th minute Peter Otto was allowed to continue from an offside position and although Baxter keeper James Foster did well to parry Otto converted the rebound to make it 2-0.

Baxter boss Francis Beck was livid and his protestations earned him a send-off.

To make matters worse the same linesman again failed to flag in the 88th minute when three Hampton Park players were offside and Nicholas Marcinkowski was able to waltz past Foster and make it 3-0.

In NPLW news three of Southern United’s under-age teams played against Bayside United at Kingston Heath Soccer Complex on Saturday.

The under-12s drew 2-2 with Southern’s goals coming from Rhiannon Kelleher and Kayla McLeod while the under-14s won 2-1 with both goals scored by Candy Kilderry, the first from the penalty spot.

Southern’s under-16s staged a remarkable comeback to down Bayside 3-2.

Southern was 2-0 down but two goals from Jas Ristevski and a Haylea Porter goal turned this contest on its head.

Southern keeper Rianna Tann played a crucial part in the victory with an outstanding save at 2-2.

Men’s Sharks streak ends, Steelers dominant BASKETBALL

THE Southern Peninsula Sharks division two Men’s side has suffered their first loss for the season to the ninth-placed Maccabi Warriors in round six of the Big V. What was slightly unexpected, the Warriors clawed their way back after trailing by nine points in the third quarter to sink a last-minute jumpshot for an upset one-point victory (65-64) on Saturday 28 April.

The Warriors tied it up with just over two minutes to go and as the Sharks tried to bide their time and throw up an unsuccessful shot, Jared Mintez dished it up to team mate Andrew Sharp who nailed the final shot of the game and deflated the Sharks undefeated balloon in the final 45 seconds.

The Sharks’ State Championship Women’s side also suffered a narrow loss to the visiting Waverley Falcons (72-76) after a 16 to 6 last quarter from the visitors. The Falcons locked in and tightened the screws on the Sharks’ usually up-tempo offence to secure a four-point victory with the Sharks’ Peyton Little (18 pts) and Jaz Shelley (17 pts, 8 ast) putting in solid performances.

Shelley said they were probably the underdogs heading into the match but couldn’t be happier with the way the side played.

“I think we have definitely surprised the league so far with the team’s average age being around 20,” she said.

“They (Waverley Falcons) just

out-bullied us towards the end of the game and were stronger and bigger than us. We did very well to keep it up against them, but we couldn’t maintain it in the last 10 minutes or so.

“We have a reasonably tough game next week [against McKinnon Cougars] so it should be a good test for us.”

In the Men’s division one, Western Port Steelers (92-82) ran away with a 10-point victory over the home side, Warrnambool Seahawks, while the Chelsea Gulls suffered their second loss for the season against Warrandyte Venom (71-86).

Majority of the focus was on the return of Nathan Sobey (21pts in 40mins) to the arc for Warrnambool but the visiting Steelers started out with a 27 to 16 run and never looked back. Dylan Travis (32 pts, 5 treys) racked up another 30-plus points game to help provide the Steelers with their fourth straight victory.

Scores were tied at half-time between Chelsea and Warrandyte but after suffering a couple of losses the Venom came out and dominated the second half with Sprewell (33 pts) and Moore (24 pts) opening the winning margin to 15 points.

In the Women’s division one, the Chelsea Gulls dominated Warrandyte Venom (89-58) by more than 30 points, while the Steelers were defeated by Warrnambool (55-40) in a low scoring contest.

The opening quarter was full of excitement in the Gulls match against Venom as it concluded with the Gulls

leading by one point (26-25) at the end of the quarter. But the Venom weren’t able to keep up with Chelsea as they managed to put just seven points on the board in the second quarter. From there on the Gulls were in the driver’s seat and added space upon space in the third and fourth quarters.

Apart from the opening quarter in the Steelers game against Warrnambool, the Steelers could only put together single digits on the board in the remaining quarters. The Mermaids joined them in the fourth but stuck it out for a 15-point win to finish their weekend.

The Mornington Breakers women’s side went down by a similar margin to Blackburn (64-50) as the home team took full advantage of the Breakers’ slow start to lead by nine points after the first break.

A tough struggle after quarter time provided an entertaining match, with the Breakers outscoring the hosts in the end of the second half. The buffer was enough for the Vikings to add their third win for the season.

Ashleigh Wright was a board off a double with 16pts for the Breakers, as Bridget Gamble and Fiona Darnell collected 14 and 11 points respectively.

Waves find their touch, Saints struggle in opener NETBALL

PENINSULA Waves have come off a 15-goal defeat to the rebranded Hawks Netball Club, to secure a dominant victory over the Sovereigns in round two of the VNL Championships on Wednesday 2 May. Peninsula Waves championship coach Jess Whitfort said the first round was like “feeling your way through the dark” as it was the Waves’ first time together as a squad.

“It was an interesting match as a few of the new recruits had been in and out of training, so we were still trying to get a feel of the team together, and where we want the ball to be,” she said.

“In the second round, we wanted to come out strong and we really worked well together as a team.”

“The Sovereigns have a relatively new side as well, so we really capitalised on that and I think we put in a great game.”

The Waves’ championship side is beginning to find their “connection” on the court which they were lacking in the opening round against the Hawks, who were still riding the high of making their VNL debut.

While the Waves’ division one (41-48) and championship grades (43-58) fell to the Hawks in round one, with a seven and fifteen goal loss in their respective games, the Waves’ youth team proved to be too strong for the Hawks as they left the court with a seven-goal winning margin (40-33).

Just four days after their round one matchup, the Waves faced the Sovereigns in round two where the Sovereigns took ownership of the netball court in the under-19s (49-59) and division one (48-71) grades. But the Waves got their revenge in the Championship match where they maintained a strong lead throughout to eventually open up a 46-goal winning margin.

The shooters ended up scoring 71 goals from their 100 attempts and ended the game at 71-25.

Division One coach Lindy Dowell named Claudia Whitfort (wing defence and centre) and Alex Maher (goal attack and goal shooter) as “absolute standouts” in her team last week, while Jess Whitfort said championship captain

Jess Maher (goal keeper) was “best on court” after her stellar performance on former Vixen player, Kim Commane.

The Southern Saints also entered their first two rounds for the VNL season but without such success.

In round one, the under-19s and championship matches were highly competitive against Boroondara Express as the sides went goal-forgoal throughout the games. Despite remaining evenly matched, both of the Saints’ sides were eventually overcome by Boroondara being defeated by six and five goals respectively. The Southern Saints struck back with a convincing win by their division one side with the final score finishing at 54-42.

The Saints walked away from round two no better, with three losses under their belt against City West Falcons. The Falcons defence shut down the Saints’ ability to feed the netball into the goal circle as they finished up with victories in the under-19s (38-48), division one (56-57) and championship (48-68) matches.

The Saints remain hopeful for round three where they face Melbourne University Lightning, while the Waves will prepare for their game against the Ariels.
