POINT Leo Surf Life Saving Club’s Oscar Skehan, above, won the Fred Westfield medal for the under-13 champion male athlete at this year’s Victorian Junior Championships. He was also the champion male water athlete for his consistent efforts in the ironman, board and swim events held at Lorne over the 5,6 March weekend. There were 860 future lifesavers aged 8-12 at the championships competing in beach, water and lifesaving disciplines, which is regarded as active training for the skills needed to become qualified lifesavers at age 13. Mornington Life Saving Club’s Sebastian Jaspers won the under-13 male beach champion, taking out the under-13 male beach sprint and coming third in the beach flags. Mornington was the top ranked club from the region, placing sixth overall with 195 points, ahead of Point Leo, seventh, with 134 points. “The level of talent in the water and on the beach, as well as the competitive spirit seen from all our competitors and clubs, makes me very excited for the future of both lifesaving sports and our patrol service for many years to come,” Life Saving Victoria’s aquatic sport manager Simon Butterly said. “The skills gained throughout these lifesavers’ early years of competition could help our junior athletes to save a life while on patrol.” Details and results: lsv.com.au

Facing up to climate change Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MANY Mornington Peninsula towns are faced with a future that will require coping with the impact of rising sea levels, eroding beaches and crumbling cliffs. Surrounded by sea on three sides, the peninsula’s 190-kilometre coast varies from steep cliffs and sandy surf beaches facing Bass Strain to low lying mangrove swamps in northern reaches of Western Port to the beaches of Port Phillip from Portsea to Mount Eliza. Cliffs are eroding at Mount Martha and Mount Eliza and rock walls are the last line of defence from the sea at Safety Beach and Rosebud.

Sand bags have become the norm at Portsea front beach, sand has been lost at McCrae and Mornington and a road reserve at Balnarring “absorbed” into the foreshore. As possibly one of the most vulnerable Victorian municipalities to the effects of rising sea levels, Mornington Peninsula Shire is opening itself up to suggestions from residents about how to protect their towns and coastline. Two planning scheme amendments (C271morn and C282morn) are aimed at seeing new developments in Western Port “respond to erosion and inundation hazards from predicted sea level rise” as well as ensuring industrial and commercial buildings “respect the height, scale and design of existing buildings”.

One the other side of the peninsula, the shire wants suggestions for Coastal and Marine Management Plans for the beaches and foreshores in manages at Flinders, Mount Eliza and Portsea. A shire news release states that “iconic” Portsea’s front beach “has experienced change in recent years, highlighting the dynamic coastal environment presenting a range of management challenges”. No mention is made of the tens of millions of dollars spent sand bagging the beach and building a protective rock wall. The Portsea plan will cover the coast from Police Point to Hemston Avenue, which includes the pier and Shelley Beach. The next plan being looked at is

Mount Eliza, from Manmangur Creek at Sunnyside Beach in the south, north to Kackeraboite Creek in Daveys Bay. The shire says the area needs “sustainable and balanced management” as it is “already facing impacts of climate change, including cliff and beach erosion hazards…” Across the peninsula at Flinders, the coast under consideration stretches from West Head to Shoreham but does not include the car park at the end of King Street where there are ongoing landslides. The shire says it is gathering an understanding of what “our community loves” about Flinders, Mount Eliza and Portsea, “what they would change and their ideas for the future of these areas”.

It says each of the three plans “will guide sustainable management of these iconic and valued coastlines for years to come”. The towns on the other side of the peninsula where land is subject to the planning scheme amendments are Hastings, Tyabb, Bittern, Crib Point, Balnarring and Balnarring Beach, Flinders, Red Hill and Red Hill South, Somers, Merricks and Merricks Beach, Point Leo and Shoreham. Public and online meetings for the Western Port towns start Wednesday 9 March and details are available at: mornpen.vic.gov.au/c271-c282 To find out more about the Flinders, Mount Eliza and Portsea Coastal plans go to: mornpen.vic.gov.au/coastalplans

Message from a nearby Galaxy

Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au

SKYLA Lauch wants to use her platform as finalist in the Miss Galaxy Australia pageant to lift the profile of Indigenous women and inspire others to reach for the stars. The 22-year-old from Rosebud, who is representing the Mornington Peninsula in next month’s national finals, has been modelling since she was 12 and is focussing on becoming Miss Galaxy because it would offer her a chance to be a bigger voice for Indigenous people. “As an Indigenous woman my main goal is to inspire and encourage other Indigenous women to be proud and be who they want to be,” Ms Lauch said. “We don’t have enough Indigenous women with high profiles, and little things like this are a way of changing that.” As part of the pageant, contestants raise money for charity, with more than $600,000 given to designated charities over the past six years. Ms Lauch, a Gunditjmara Bundjalung woman, is raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and after just a few weeks is half way to her $1000 target. “I’m doing my own fundraising so I’ll be organising more events in the coming weeks, because it’s such a great cause,” she said. Ms Lauch, who had to undergo a series of interviews explaining her reasons for entering the pageant, said it was not a traditional beautyfocused competition, but more about how contestants were role models in their communities, their confidence and poise. “I hope that I can go on to be part of international pageant, where I can have the opportunity to lift the profile of Indigenous women even higher,” she said.

A VOLUNTEER environmental group concerned about illegal parking at Mornington’s beach car parks is lobbying Mornington Peninsula Shire Council for more patrols and better enforcement. Mornington Environment Association has asked councillors for “immediate action” to counter environmental and safety issues around the demand for beachside car parking around the shire over summer. The shire has hired extra staff to enforce parking controls across the peninsula, with daily patrols of up to six officers during busy periods, hot days and weekends. Between 1 January and 28 February more than 5000 parking infringements were issued, with most vehicles being booked near beaches. MEA spokesperson and president Margaret Howden said its members believed the demand for parking spaces close to the beach exceeded supply and residents were faced with the issue of “a growing number of selfish and self-entitled drivers who will park wherever they like once the legal parking spots have been taken”. Ms Howden said Mills Beach was particularly congested over summer, with the ramps becoming “an accident waiting to happen” and drivers park-

ing “unchallenged” in disabled spots and driving over grassed areas. “Apart from destroying important native vegetation, some of it planted by MEA volunteer groups, this is a totally unacceptable fire risk and must be addressed urgently,” she said. In many spots along the Esplanade the MEA says day visitors ignore no standing signs and residents are inconvenienced by “thoughtless” people parking across driveways. The group is calling for more parking officers to patrol to check parking “hot spots” during the late afternoon on hot weekdays and throughout summer as well as “longer-term solutions” such as barriers to protect native vegetation, and 10-minute drop-off and pick-up parking spots adjacent to the Mills Beach ramp. Community safety and compliance manager Shannon Maynard said the shire was working on strategies to reduce illegal parking over summer. “We are currently trialling new smart parking technology in the form of parking sensors, vehicle-mounted cameras and fixed cameras to help monitor illegal parking,” Ms Maynard said. “This technology will also help us better understand parking trends throughout the shire. “Any future changes or increases in patrol frequency will be determined based on the information we receive from the smart parking trial”.

April deadline to ‘save the green wedges’ Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au ADVOCATES of protecting the Mornington Peninsula’s green wedgezoned areas are calling on supporters to get submissions in before 8 April to protect 10 parcels of land from inappropriate development. Conservation policies for the peninsula’s green wedge areas were first introduced by the state government more than 40 years ago, with the zones now highly regarded for giving the peninsula its special character and sense of openness. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is now seeking feedback on amendment C270morn, which intends to fix irregularities in the peninsula’s planning scheme and rezone 10 sites in Mornington, Mount Eliza, Mount Martha, Portsea and Shoreham. Eight of those sites are outside the urban growth boundary (“The peninsula’s biggest future issue - land use” The News 2/3/22). Supporters of one of the peninsula’s most prized green wedges, known as Reg’s Wedge, because the late airline owner Sir Reginald Ansett once owned it, say the rezoning amendment is a “last chance” opportunity to

protect the land forever. The future of the land at 60-70 Kunyung Road is under a cloud, with owners Ryman Healthcare believed to be planning to submit a new development proposal after its plans for aged care units was blocked last year at the Victorian Civil and Administrative tribunal. Both the Liberal and Labor parties have told supporters they are committed to protecting the green wedges. Campaign spokesperson Leigh Eustace, also a member of the Green Wedge Coalition, said communities around the shire could be cautiously optimistic that the state planning minister’s recent authorisation of the council’s rezoning amendment would result in ultimate protection for the sites. The exhibition process is now in place, and submissions can be made via the shire’s website or by emailing strategic.admin@mornpen.vic.gov.au with header C270morn. Emails must have name, address, contact number and reasons for supporting the amendment. Anyone can make a submission, and there is no requirement to be resident of the peninsula.

Back in the shed for business WESTERN Port Men’s Shed is back in business in Bittern. After a long break due to COVID restrictions, president Colin Prowd said there was a need for a friendly, social outlet for men, where they could get involved in meaningful projects. Mr Prowd said some men were

reluctant to get back out into the community after COVID, as were many in the community, and numbers were down at men’s sheds across the country. “We lost about eight members who have not come back after COVID restrictions ended, so we’d love to let men know that they are welcome to

join us, there is always something to do or someone to chat to,” he said. “We’d also love to let the schools and community know that we are ready to take on more projects, and would love to hear from them.” For details call 0437 311 218 or email info@wpmshed.com.au Liz Bell

Murder charge

Fiery crash

HOMICIDE Squad detectives have charged a 49-year-old Baxter man over a fatal shooting in Baxter in 2017. The man was arrested on Friday 4 March and has since been charged with one count of murder. The charges follow an incident on 16 September 2017, when a 64-yearold Baxter man was fatally shot at his Station Crescent home. The parties involved were known to each other.

SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol officers are calling for public assistance after a car crashed and burst into flames on Peninsula Link in Moorooduc on Monday 28 February. Police said a black Ford Falcon sedan was travelling southbound on Peninsula Link near the Moorooduc Highway just before 9pm, when the driver lost control and crashed into a safety barrier and concrete bollard, and the car caught fire. Police said witnesses stopped at the scene and pulled the male driver from

the vehicle before the flames took hold. A 27-year-old Dromana man was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Investigators have asked for witnesses or anyone who saw the vehicle before the crash or who has dashcam footage to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com

Fewer happy returns at the pokies Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au GAMBLERS on the Mornington Peninsula are again losing big at the pokies, with spending going up compared to lockdown figures. In the two months of December 2021 and January 2022 data published by the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission showed spending on gaming machines in Mornington Peninsula Shire topped $15.3 million. In January punters on the peninsula spent $7.86m, compared to July, when they put $5.1m through the pokies. Some of the biggest spending between July 2021 and December 2021 was at the Rosebud Hotel ($3.24m), with Steeples in Mornington coming behind by a length at $2.7m. The figures are high, given that the peninsula has just 808 machines spread over 17 venues, out of a 1239 poker machine entitlement. Alliance for Gambling Reform chief advocate the Rev Tim Costello has called for more harm prevention programs to curb the rise in gambling. “Harm prevention measures like universal pre-commitment, reduced opening hours and abolishing losses disguised as wins would have a significant impact in reducing these losses and the harm felt in our state,” he said. “We also need well-resourced educational campaigns aimed at bringing

awareness to this ongoing crisis. If we are to successfully reduce the harm being caused by poker machines, we need to bring the community along with us,” he said. The shire estimates that $49.3m was gambled on the pokies across the shire last year. Mr Costello said records were broken across the state in December and January, with many municipalities that recorded the highest losses being also some of the most stressed communities in the state. “Families across Victoria are being shamelessly preyed on by corporations looking to make a quick buck,” he said. He said the state government’s commitment to holding Crown accountable was a start but did little for the “crisis in the suburbs, in the regions”. Connect Health Community’s Gambler’s Help Southern service says the unprecedented circumstances of the past two years had combined to create a “perfect storm” of pressure on people struggling with gambling-related issues. Connect Health Community CEO, Amanda Murphy, said many of those ADVERTISEMENT hit by the losses experienced multiple pressures. “We know many in our community have experienced job losses and financial pressure over the past two years, creating or exacerbating strain for

many households and putting enormous additional burden on people,” she said. “We also know social isolation is a key trigger for many to engage in gambling as they seek some kind of connection after months of lockdown isolation. “Together, the financial and social impacts of COVID on our community have contributed to a perfect storm for those vulnerable and alone.” Ms Murphy said increased connection was key to helping protect communities from greater harm caused by gambling. “One thing we can do as a community is reach out to our friends and family if we have concerns about their wellbeing. Acknowledging a struggle with gambling or living with someone struggling with gambling can be incredibly challenging, but support is available,” she said. “Gambler’s Help Southern offers free, confidential support across Melbourne’s south-east including the Mornington Peninsula to anyone experiencing gambling related harm – whether it is the person who is gambling or their family member.” For help with a gambling problem contact Gambler’s Help Southern on 9575 5353, gamblershelpsouthern.org. au or email ghs.intake@connecthealth. org.au

WORDS on a page: Charlotte from Our Lady of Fatima in Rosebud immersed herself in literature and found fun in Feathers for Phoebe during World Book Day. Picture: Supplied

Reading right around world WORLD Book Day on 3 March inspired a frenzy of reading in schools across the Mornington Peninsula, as students were encouraged to embrace the joys of getting lost in a book. World Book Day aims to change lives through books and bring books to the children who need them most.

Visual art teacher at Our Lady of Fatima in Rosebud, Amanda Heggen, said the school celebrated the day with a range of literature-related activities, and families donated books for distribution to Indigenous communities and the school’s sister school in Lombok, Indonesia.

ELECTIONS 2022

State Libs ‘arranged’ May visit Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Victorian division of the Liberal Party paid “all costs” associated with the attendance of former British prime minister Theresa May at a fundraising lunch at Moonah Links, Fingal, according to the party’s Hastings candidate Briony Hutton. Ms Hutton said Ms May (Lady May) was “interested in coming to the Mornington Peninsula where we have endorsed female Liberal candidates” as part of an event-intensive, multi-state five-day visit to Australia. The Australian Electoral Commission is investigating questions raised by Labor Senator Don Farrell as to whether money raised at events featuring Ms May are subject to a ban on foreign donations introduced in 2019 by the Morrison government (“Inquiry by AEC over Liberals May Meal” The News 2/3/22). Ms Hutton has told The News that about 50 people attended the $500 a head Sunday 13 February lunch at the Peppers Moonah Links Resort “hosted by the Peninsula Liberals”. “Mrs May’s visit was organised by the Victorian division of the Liberal Party,” Ms Hutton said. “Mrs May was interested in coming to the Mornington Peninsula where we have endorsed female Liberal candidates. “Liberal candidate for Flinders, Zoe McKenzie, and Liberal candidate for Hastings, Briony Hutton, welcomed Mrs May to the peninsula on behalf of the Peninsula Liberals.” In an earlier post on Facebook, Ms Hutton said it had been “an honour to host” Ms May. “Mrs May came to show her support of Liberal Party candidates on the Mornington Peninsula as we head into the federal and state elections this year,” she stated. Senator Farrell has asked the AEC to “carefully consider the disclosure obligation that falls on the Liberal Party for the declaration of an

FORMER British prime minister Theresa May with Hastings Liberal candidate Briony Hutton as they appear on Ms Hutton’s Facebook page. in-kind donation by Ms May if there is a gap between fees paid by Ms May and Ms May’s standard speaking fee” if it finds “the arrangement between the Liberal Party and Ms May is not inconsistent with the foreign donation ban”, AEC Commissioner Tom Rogers has told the Senate’s Finance and Public Administration Legislation Committee that the issue was being examined and the Liberal Party had been contacted. Publicity and bookings for the lunch with Ms May were organised by the Nepean Liberals. As well as endorsing Ms Hutton and Ms McKenzie, the Liberal party has chosen Sam Groth as its candidate for the state seat of Nepean and Chris Crewther for the state seat of Mornington.

Candidate resigns IT should become clearer later this week if Morgan Jonas will remain a candidate for the seat of Flinders at the coming federal election. Mr Jonas last week resigned from the United Australia Party “thus withdrawing my nomination”. However, he did not say if he would contest Flinders as an independent or under the banner of another political party. Mr Jonas said he would later announce “our exciting plan moving forward”. The UAP’s backer Clive Palmer said Mr Jonas “joined the party to promote his own self-interests”. “We note he has never been elected to parliament and is seeking to disrupt the political campaign of Craig Kelly to be the next prime minster,’’ Mr Palmer said. If Mr Jonas does bow out of the Flinders campaign, the remaining candidates are Surbhi Snowball (Labor), Zoe McKenzie (Liberal), Despi O’Connor (independent), Colin Lane (Greens), Cynthia Marr (One Nation) and Sarah Russell (Voices of Mornington Peninsula). Flinders has been held by Liberal Greg Hunt for the past 20 years.

Eat out with MP TEN $250 tickets are on sale to have lunch and “a round table discussion” with retiring Flinders MP, Greg Hunt. The “single table” meal with Mr Hunt, the federal minister for health and aged care, will be served at the Pier 10 winery and restaurant in Shoreham on Thursday 10 march. The lunch was arranged by the Liberal Party’s Nepean State Electorate Conference.

Location, location when it comes to votes, says MP THE sitting MP for Nepean, Labor’s Chris Brayne, says his Liberal opponent Same Groth “has a very shallow understanding of this community [if he] believes that he should represent [the community] just because he has a holiday house on the peninsula”. “I grew up on the peninsula, I went to kindergarten, primary school and high school here, my first casual job was here and, in an area like [this] being a local matters,” Mr Brayne said. In October 2020, Mr Groth featured in the real estate reports when his family home in Alphington went on the market and, in July 2021, when he was quoted as saying they were living in Mont Albert North but would “love something close to water in the long run”. On the Liberal Party’s website, Mr Groth says “Nepean is the place that my wife and I have chosen to raise our twin boys…”. It was “his mission” to make Nepean “the best place to live in Victoria”. Mr Groth did not respond to an email or phone calls from The News. Mr Groth was selected to be the Liberals’ candidate for Nepean after being granted a special dispensation to stand by the party’s administrative committee because he had been a member for less than one year. However, his candidature received backing from several influential Liberals, including federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, state opposition leader Matthew Guy and former premier Jeff Kennett. In the final ballot Mr Groth, a former professional tennis player and now TV sports commentator, received 74 votes, ahead of David Burgess (33 votes) and former Bentleigh MP Elizabeth Miller (four votes). Mr Brayne’s surprise victory in Nepean for Labor in 2018, followed the retirement after 20 years of Liberal Martin Dixon. Mr Dixon had held the seat with what seemed a healthy 7 per cent margin, but Mr Brayne was able to turn that around, winning by a slender 1.82 per cent. Keith Platt

ENVIRONMENTALISTS have reacted angrily to news that an artificial will this month be submerged at the southern end of Port Phillip near Point Nepean. Port Phillip Conservation Council secretary Jenny Warfe wants installation of the reef delayed “so that scientific studies and other rationale can be made publicly available”. Ms Warfe said her group - a “federation” of 14 conservation groups and their “many hundreds of individual members” - could “find no evidence” of an environmental effects study being made into the artificial reef plan. She said the reef was planned to be placed near the sanctuary for the bay’s estimated 100 Burranan dolphins and a marine national park. “Understandably, concerned citizens must be assured that these charismatic creatures will not be adversely affected by this poorly justified reef project,” Ms Warfe said in a letter sent to Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio and Fishing and Boating Minister Melissa Horne. Ms Warfe said the environment groups had first heard about the imminent placement of the artificial concrete reef through an article in The News (“Artificial reef off Point Nepean” 21/2/22). Futurefish Foundation director David Kramer, a consultant to the state government, said an identical reef at Shoalhaven, NSW had “proven to be outstanding in attracting yellowtail kingfish”. He said the 16 concrete modules would “quickly obtain weed growth and provide a perfect reef in strong tidal waters”, forming the largest artificial reef in Victoria. Mr Kramer last week told The News that the reef “is only weeks away” from arriving in Port Phillip from where was being built in Tasmania. He said he would be filming the arrival and placement of the reef for a documentary commissioned by the state government. Mr Kramer knew about letters sent to government by the greenies “who are up in arms”. He said environmental studies “are all done, and a proper process followed”. Nepean MP Chris Brayne said the artificial reef “was originally canvassed in 2019 with the hopes of seeing it happen in the winter of 2020” (“Reefs plan to improve bays fish stocks” The News 6/11/19). “Obviously with COVID, this expected date did not progress and has now restarted in 2022,” he said. “The area of the bay where it is to be located sees a high volume of anglers, so this will be an exciting development for many of them.” Michelle Cheers, of Rye Community Group Alliance, said she could find no evidence of

ONE of 16 separate concrete sections of an artificial reef destined to be placed on the seabed in southern Port Phillip near Point Nepean. Picture: Supplied studies into “what, if any, impact the reefs may have on wave seabed dynamics and in turn the nearby bay beaches. It is a very volatile part of the bay”. “In short, a lot of us are over this self-serving fishing lobby group that seems to be able to do what it wants with no regard to the impact on the bay marine system,” she said. “Other bay stakeholders are simply ignored by the government. We have seen this disregard with jet skis and spider crab plundering.” “Why does the Futurefish Foundation have the premier’s [Daniel Andrews] ear when the rest of us are lucky to get a response to a query from a bureaucrat in under three months?” When asking the ministers to delay placing the reef, Ms Warfe predicted it would attract other bay users, such as divers, adventurous swimmers, and jet ski riders, giving rise to “inevitable territorial disputes”.

MP rules out marina ‘while I am here’ A MARINA at Oliver’s Hill will not be built by the state government, according to Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke. The recent release of Better Boating Victoria’s recreational boating action plan sparked fears that a proposal to build a “safe harbour” at Olivers Hill had been resurrected. In October 2019, Frankston Council abandoned its plans for a multi-million dollar boat refuge there because of a lack of financial support from the state and federal governments. Mr Edbrooke said he has told the fishing and boating minister that “any option to commence planning of a facility at Olivers Hill based on Frankston Council’s previous work is not to proceed”. “To this day, I have not seen any information reliably suggesting that the Olivers Hill development committed to by others poses zero risk to our environment, our lifestyle, and in particular the jewel in Frankston’s crown, Frankston beach. I agree with our community that any project which could risk unanticipated changes to the amazing Frankston beach and waterfront, our largest tourist attraction and the iconic image of Frankston, is environmentally and economically irresponsible,” he said. “There will be no further action taken to build a harbour at Olivers Hill while I am the state member of parliament representing the Frankston community.”

Research centre to collect data on ageing A NEW research centre at Frankston Hospital will collect data and information about ageing. Ngarnga Centre - Ideas, Innovation and Learning has been officially opened. The research facility houses a component of the National Centre for Healthy Ageing, the Healthy Ageing Data Platform. The new centre is a joint venture with Monash University. The project was funded partly through a $2 million contribution from the federal government. Peninsula Health CEO Felicity Topp said that the project would allow the organisation to focus on “improving

health outcomes by enabling translational research across both Peninsula Health and Monash University and through the National Centre for Healthy Ageing.” “This is a pivotal moment in the development of Peninsula Health, our partnership with Monash University and the further progression of the Frankston health precinct,” Ms Topp said. “By creating a state-of-theart environment for our clinicians, researchers and students, we are significantly expanding our research profile.” Dean of medicine, nursing, and health sciences at Monash University,

Professor Christina Mitchell, says that “substantial progress” has been made to the Healthy Ageing Data Platform since 2020. “National Centre for Healthy Ageing researchers now have access to big data to provide population-level insights into pressing issues regarding healthy ageing for our communities. It links various large sources of health data to support the NCHA in developing solutions for these issues,” she said. Peninsula Health estimates that older Australians will make up 22 per cent of the Australian population by 2057. For more information visit ncha. org.au .

SOUTHERN Women’s Action Network (SWAN) will celebrate International Women’s Day at 9.30am on Sunday 20 March with a talk by Joanna Hayter. Ms Hayter was made an Officer in the Order of Australia in January 2018, for “distinguished service to women in the areas of gender equality and individual rights through leadership and policy development roles, and to the promotion of global health, peace and security”. She has been named as one of Australia’s 100 Women of Influence and inducted into the Victorian Honour Roll for Women. Her career in international development and peace and security ranges across four continents and 31 countries and she is now women’s rights convenor with Macquarie University’s Global Leadership Program.

MINISERIES: THE TEACHER

ABC TV, 8.30pm

Starring Sheridan Smith (left), there’s more than a whiﬀ of melodrama in the four-part British drama. The Teacher is a wayward cocktail of inappropriate behaviour, jealous colleagues and backstabbing friends, which all sounds very promising until it gives you a headache. Is it the story of a popular teacher going oﬀ the rails, or a case of some bad decisions and nefarious students? It all begins to go pear-shaped as teacher Jenna Garvey (Smith) is accused of sleeping with her pupil after a night out.

SEVEN, 8.30pm

A surprise winner of the Best Picture Oscar, this comedy directed by Peter Farrelly (Dumb & Dumber, There’s Something About Mary, Shallow Hal) is a refreshing take on the road-trip movie. In the early 1960s, distinguished African American pianist Don (Mahershala Ali, above) hires tough-talking Italian American bouncer Tony (Viggo Mortensen) as his chauﬀeur for a concert tour through America’s Midwest and Deep South. An unlikely friendship develops, with the struggle to ﬁnd common ground proving to be the emotional core of their journey. Green Book is a must-watch for those burnt-out by the usual Hollywood fare.

3 Hastings Road, Frankston VIC 3199 155 Sladen Street, Cranbourne VIC 3977

Ordinary folk can turn out to be not so “ordinary” as they show oﬀ their impressive brain matter in this lighthearted and fun game show. But plunk a few celebrities into the mathematical and alphabetical ﬂurry and the entertainment level goes up a few decibels; the spectacle ends up being more about showmanship than knowing the dictionary inside-out. Tonight, host Michael Hing (triple j) is joined by comedians Benjamin Law, Concetta Caristo, Bob Downe and Carlo Ritchie in a test of their word and numerical resourcefulness. It’ll be maths whiz Lily Serna and wordsmith David Astle’s job to keep them on course. Lily Serna is the maths expert on Celebrity Letters And Numbers.

‘Treasures’ in bank’s mural THE new Community Bank branch building at Balnarring features a mural by Mornington Peninsula artists depicting peninsula environments. Under the Community Bank profit-forpurpose ethos, up to 80 per cent of the bank’s profits are returned to the community through sponsorships and grants. Since opening in 2008 the Balnarring and district branch has handed over more than $2 million. Branch manager Greg Hood said the new Balnarring Village premises reflected a broader strategy to reshape the business to better serve the needs of customers and wider community. He said the community had experienced difficult and challenging times over the past two years, and he hoped the opening of the

new branch and the inspiration of a new mural would help the bank play a role in the recovery process. The mural is the work of Balnarring artist Jane Reiseger in collaboration with Shoreham-based graphic designer Bek Thompson (pictured right). Reiseger’s work is also featured throughout the Royal Children’s Hospital. Mr Hood said the bank was “absolutely thrilled” to have the artists create the mural which “so engagingly reflects the beauty of the Balnarring area” and invited visitors to look for the work’s “hidden treasures”. The branch includes a retail pop-up space where businesses, community groups and creatives will be able to showcase their work for two-weeks at a time and a central teller area.

State money needed for overpass to start Nepean MP Chris Brayne’s demands the federal money promised for the development of the Jetty Road, Rosebud overpass by Flinders MP Greg Hunt (“Reason revealed” Letters 2/3/22). Yet Mr Brayne will not discuss what the state government and [Premier] Dan Andrews are prepared to contribute financially to the development? Who is responsible for the M11? State or federal government? Mr Brayne implies that it is the federal government’s responsibility with no commitment from the state government. Ironically, no development can commence without state government and VicRoads approval. For this development to go ahead it needs Mr Brayne’s state Labor government to give it the go-ahead and contribute financially. Which he continually avoids addressing. Dan Andrews is a big spender on safety crossings throughout Melbourne. Has he been informed that the design of the M11 terminus requires pedestrians (children, the elderly and disabled) to cross a freeway? There is no other option, and it is a vehicle bottleneck. This is Mr Brayne’s government’s responsibility to correct the faulty planning (who was responsible for this error in planning and design?). There is a pledge for federal funding, now the state government needs to contribute financially or match this federal funding and commence the development. Michelle Smith, Rosebud

Australia’s ‘laziest MP’ After three years of inaction on his behalf, I’m calling [Nepean MP] Chris Brayne the laziest MP in Australia. He is a state Labor MP who refuses to stand up for the Mornington Peninsula or even to spend federal funds to save lives on our local roads. The federal government has had $75 million on the table for three years for the Jetty Road [Rosebud] intersection with the Mornington Peninsula Freeway – and $20 million for the Uralla Road and Forest Drive intersections with Nepean Highway in Mount Martha. This is money that is ready to go for state projects that will save lives. At the end of the day instead of fighting to get his own team to match these funds and get the Jetty Road project done, Mr Brayne has wasted three years making excuses why his state Labor government is refusing to build the road and has failed to deliver a dollar for the project. That’s because only he and his government can actually use the federal funding to build their own road projects and refuse to do so. Pretty simple, it’s ready to go and his government that owns and approves the road projects is ignoring the peninsula and abandoning local residents. These roads are death traps and after 20 years I’m sad to say that Mr Brayne is a Labor MP in a Labor state government who refuses to use federal money to protect his local people. In my observation, he is the laziest and worst

MP I’ve seen in that time. A word of advice [for] Chris: Just do it. Get the roads built and stop making despicable excuses for your own utter inaction while people’s lives are at risk. Greg Hunt, Liberal MP for Flinders

Reef studies needed I write to express grave concern at a reported proposal to create an artificial reef at Point Nepean (“Artificial reef off Point Nepean” The News 21/2/22). I cannot imagine that such a proposal in this precious area of Port Phillip would be even considered until detailed studies had been undertaken and made public. Melbourne and Monash universities are currently undertaking a number of studies of the marine environment around this area and plans are in process for a marine studies centre in the Point Nepean National Park. Perhaps some of these experts can be consulted about any proposal for an artificial reef? I look forward to being assured that any such proposal will only be considered after extensive marine studies and the pic have been explored. Joy Kitch, Blairgowrie

Pay to park A little birdie has told me that Mornington Peninsula Shire is moving forward on a paid parking scheme. My fear is that it will require a lot of yellow chalk and also charge ratepayers who have already paid for the parking facilities to have to pay for parking. There are ways around this problem and people have made proposals as to how to avoid making ratepayers pay for parking while at the same time adding untold wealth to the budget with a very low cost high revenue process. Contact your councillor(s) and make sure they understand that paid parking for ratepayers is not on, and it will be an election issue. Unfortunately, now that [shire] officers cannot be questioned in public at council meetings we do not have a clue what is being proposed or the details of the proposals for anything. John Cain, McCrae Editor: References to “smart parking infrastructure” being moved from the current budget to that of 2022/23 and paid parking are made in the online minutes (pages 10 and 13) of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 22 February public meeting.

Playground verse Dromana’s new 160K playground has not a skerrick of shade around. For all that money and expertise, it’s odd to have no sails or trees: “Half-baked” may apply to the parents and kids Maybe the plan too, despite all those quids We presume landscaping is on its way

So, parents and children can happily play. Paula Polson, Dromana

Footpath alert This week I parked my car near the centre of the shopping area in Main Street, Hastings. As I stepped onto the footpath I was nearly run down by two young cyclists racing down it doing wheel stands. Nearing 90, I am fortunate to have reasonable mobility, but a collision could easily have put me in a wheelchair, or worse. I was left shaking for the rest of the afternoon. Of course I reported the incident to the police, but how can we teach the young ones to respect the safety of others? Kevin Sack, Somers

Forgotten bikes We have a great new road at Bentons Road. All two kilometres of it, broad two-lane highway, with Armco to the edge (for safety I hear you roar). Twelve months overdue, safe to assume over budget. And no bike path. Come on guys, you can do better than this. It is a well-used bicycle route. Surely it’s not that hard? Martin Thraves, Mount Martha

Pray for Ukraine Our family has relatives in Poland, Ukraine and Russia. For more than 100 years our descendants have lived, travelled and worked in these countries through good times and bad. [Russian president Vladimir] Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has shocked the world, including the Russian people. Putin has no respect for human life as innocent Ukrainians flee their cities and protesting Russians are arrested. We fear for the women and children arriving alone in foreign countries and the men defending Ukraine. Putin and his military leaders are war criminals seeking to create a new Soviet Union. Pray for Ukraine and Europe. Name and address supplied

Release refugees During the past two weeks the Grandmothers for Refugees Flinders Electorate, have held stalls in Mornington and Bittern to share up-to-date information about refugees. I have just sent 111 letters from the stalls, signed by members of the public to Immigration Minister Alex Hawke and the Prime Minister [Scott Morrison]. The people signing these letters were aware of the Australian government’s harmful handling of refugee issues and were greatly concerned about the harshness of the policies and the length of time refugees spent in detention. They wanted the government to know of their concerns. The recent publicity about [tennis professional] Novak Djokovic’s detention in the Park Hotel, Carlton has increased the awareness of many. The fact that there are still refugees locked up in Melbourne, many of whom have been in detention for up to nine years, continues to shock.

The deteriorating situation in Afghanistan continues. It is more than six months since the Australian Defence Force withdrew. Many Afghans still seek safety in Australia, and many applications have been submitted to the Immigration Department for family members to be united here. The signed letters urge the prime minister to increase the Australian intake of humanitarian places for refugees to at least 20,000, and to accelerate the processing of the many urgent applications. The letters also requested the immigration minister to immediately release the refugees in the Park Hotel into the community. Now is the time for the Australian government to show humanitarian leadership. There is so much unrest in the world. Ann Renkin, Shoreham

Affordable is here What does Mornington Peninsula Shire Council think social and affordable housing is? The same stuff we build now that will cost a bundle. If the same stuff we build now will work then why is there a housing shortage? Or will the council step up to novel affordable housing concepts? Things like 3D printed houses. Modular houses. No brick. Prefab construction. There are many “affordable” options. If Australians want affordable housing they need to change their concept of what housing is and what works. We do not need housing like federal government schemes which cost more to build than conventional housing costs. If you want to have a look at a great possibility drive past Peninsula Eco Villas and Beach Huts, 15/33 Truemans Road, Capel Sound. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

‘Dumping’ update I previously posed some serious questions about the management of litter and “dumping” throughout Mornington Peninsula Shire, but also raised issues of responsibility and delegation for such tasks in a timely, efficient and ongoing manner (“Shire, VicRoads avoid rubbish responsibility” Letters 15/2/22). My understanding is that the basis of any response is to be found in the Land Management Act, which delineates the specific responsibilities of VicRoads and the council. I urged the shire and VicRoads to meet and clarify respective responsibilities. Being a trusting type, I am sure that as the senior member of council, the mayor Cr Anthony Marsh is right on top of this issue and his letter of acknowledgement is simply lost in the mail. In other exciting update news, the $600,000 gold plated dunny of Safety Beach is coming along nicely. (Well, I did spot a possum in the wreckage of the only wall knocked down thus far, but still it has been designated as a “must see” in the upcoming edition of Lonely Planet.) The opening day entertainment list continues to grow. Local resident and aspiring songstress Kylie may do a spirited rendition of I should be so lucky, and the Mothers Beach, Mornington flasher promises something special on the day.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Fire brigade entertained with ‘smoke social’ Compiled by Cameron McCullough TO mark their appreciation of the services rendered by the fire brigades of Frankston, Carrum and Chelsea in subduing recent fires about the foreshore, the residents of Seaford entertained representatives of the brigades above named at a smoke social in the Seaford Hall, on Saturday evening, February 25th. There was a very large attendance, about 100 visitors sitting down to tables bountifully supplied with every good thing known to the culinary art. The Borough of Carrum was represented by Cr. Stephens, and the Shire of Frankston and Hastings sent a strong contingent in Crs. Armstrong, Howell and Latham. Mr. C. Hunter, president of the Seaford Progress Association, occupied the chair, and delivered the speech of welcome to the visitors. Later on the formal toast list was proceeded with. The chairman, after giving the loyal toast, proposed the health of the members of the fire brigades, in which he expressed the indebtedness of the Seaford people to the men who had so readily assisted in fighting the fires along the foreshore. Crs. Armstrong and Howell also added words of sincere thanks, and the toast was honoured with great enthusiasm. Captain Smith (Chelsea) responded in humorous vein, and stated that his men had done no more than their duty. Capt. D. Petrie (Frankston) also replied. While his brigade did not look for thanks, it was pleasing to know that their services were appreciated. The Frankston Brigade, he said,

was indebted to Mr. Morris Jacobs for kindly supplying vehicles to convey them to Seaford on the occasion of the conflagration. Harmony was provided during the evening by Messrs. Grieves, Brickfield, Tate, Ellis, Coulthard, Peters and Larkin. Mr. Grieves also rendered fine service in playing the pianoforte accompaniments. A very successful evening was brought to a conclusion by the singing of the National Anthem. The Seaford committee worked enthusiastically in entertaining the visitors. The genial chairman (Mr. Hunter) was the right man in the right place, while Mr. Muir, as the presiding genius, who regulated the flow of ambrosial waters, rendered Hebe superfluous. Messrs. F. Moffit, Martorana, Everard, Daly and others also assisted. *** AT the Frankston Police Court on Monday last, before Mr. Knight, P.M., and Messrs. C. W. Grant, W. Armstrong and Luxford, J.’sP., a number of cases arising out of the activities of the licensing police were heard. John Richards, licensee of the Riviera Hotel, Seaford, was called upon to answer two charges of serving liquor to other than bona fide travellers during prohibited hours. Constable Davey, of Melbourne, gave evidence to the effect that on 29th January last, in company with Constable Hay he visited the Riviera Hotel at 7.45 p.m. They were stopped at the door by a person who appeared to be in charge of the premises, and they were asked if

they were bona-fide travellers. They admitted they were not, and said they had come from Chelsea. The man at the door asked them to produce their railway tickets, and they showed him the return half of tickets, Chelsea to Melbourne. They were then served with drinks. The same witness said that on the 5th February at 11.45 a.m. he again visited the hotel with Constable Hay. The same man once again barred their progress at the door. They told him they had just walked up from Chelsea, and on further explaining that they had been in the hotel on the previous Sunday, he allowed them to enter, and they were served with drinks. Witness was out looking for “sly groggers.” To Inspector McCormack: Davey was dressed in a blue suit on the day in question. Inspector McCormack: Well, Davey says he was dressed all in white. To the P.M.: He was not trying to protect his billet. He was not trying to make up to Richards for letting him down. P.M., to Inspector McCormack: Will you withdraw the charge? Do you want a conviction? The evidence is that this is a well conducted hotel and the licensee bears an exceptionally good character. He is the sort of man you want to hold a license and you say yourself that the hotel is well conducted. Inspector McCormack said he would withdraw one case. Upon the P.M. again suggesting to the Inspector to withdraw the other case as well, Inspector McCormack

declined to do so, owing, as he said, to complaints received. A fine of £2 was imposed on the first charge, and the second charge was withdrawn. *** MESSRS Taylor and Ritchie, Ford Agents of Mornington, who are representatives for Frankston, Mornington and Peninsula Districts, wish to announce that they will have and view, and will demonstrate at the forth coming Somerville Show, several of the latest Model Ford Cars and Trucks. *** MR H. M. Collins, vice-president of the Alfred Hospital, has convened a public meeting at Frankston, to form a branch of the Alfred Hospital Auxiliary. The movement is sure to receive the warm support of district residents, and a large attendance is hoped for at the Frankston Hall on Thursday, 23rd inst:, at 3pm. *** MRS M. Moloney, who for several years was licensee of The Pier Hotel, Frankston, was presented with a wristlet watch on Saturday afternoon, last, at an informal little gathering of friends. Mr. A. E. Lasslett, J.P. made the presentation, and his remarks were supported by Mr Jas. Grice, J.P. Mr R. Fairnie responded on behalf of Mrs Moloney. *** AT last week’s council meeting a legal opinion was received from the Shire Solicitor, stating that the action proposed by the Council for striking a special rate for financing the High

School proposal could not be carried out at this stage, but indicated that the money could be provided out of the general municipal fund, by placing some on the estimates. Cr. Gray said the council should face the position. It meant increasing the general rate by about 3d., extending over 3 or 4 years, if the adjoining councils did not assist. The president thought they should make a further effort to secure support from outside councils. Cr. Gray moved that a conference be held at a date to be fixed, and that the adjoining councils, the Peninisula School Associations, and this Council attend; that Mr Tait, Director of Education be advised, and invited to be present, with a view to discussing the financial position. Cr. May was in favor of bringing in the schools associations, and seconded the resolution, which was carried. It was also resolved to ask the secretary of the Peninsula Schools Association to call a meeting at once, and that Crs. Mason and Armstrong be deputed to attend same and explain the position. *** A WARNING – ANYONE found Taking HAY or WOOD out of any of my Paddocks, or Found TRESPASSING, with or without Dogs or Guns, will be Prosecuted. N. C HOLDSWORTH, ‘Weerona “ Baxter, *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 10 March 1922

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Everything’s Kaputin – Autocratic For the People By Stuart McCullough THE world is crazy. And by ‘crazy’, I don’t mean ‘white goods at unbeatable prices’ kinda crazy or even ‘you don’t have to be crazy to work here, but it helps’ coffee mug crazy but, rather, crazy in the most totally and irretrievably deranged, brutal sense imaginable. Doubtless, there are some incredibly intelligent people who can give extraordinary and insightful analysis as to why Ukraine has been invaded. But for all their dissections of history and geo-political tensions, the whole thing seems to boil down to one, simple proposition – Vladimir Putin is a jerk. And by ‘jerk’, I don’t mean ‘wouldn’t let me merge while trying to get onto Peninsula Link’ type of jerk or even ‘he pushed in front of me and bought the last remaining boysenberry choc-top at the mid-afternoon screening of House of Gucci’ kind of jerk. I’m talking about turbo-charged, supersonic jerkdom that’s so gigantic that it casts a shadow for miles and can be seen from space. We’re talking ‘Hall of Fame’ jerkiness that will be remembered. Forever. I mistakenly assumed everyone felt the way I did. After all, it’s not hard to hate a guy whose hobbies include poisoning his enemies and annexing the Crimea. This is someone who went his entire childhood without smiling. Chances are, he only smiles now when he’s stealing a kitten or putting his rubbish in someone else’s wheelie bin. But not everyone thinks he’s a cad. I’ve never met Tucker Carlson. I did, however, write to him once when he said that Australia ‘has no freedom’. My letter informed him his comments had gone down like the proverbial cold

cup of sick and that instead of having ‘no freedom’, we have so much of the stuff that it sits around in buckets. That was seven years ago and I’m beginning

to suspect he may not write back. Tucker had a lot to say in the days preceding the invasion. In particular, he encouraged his viewers to question

why they hate Vladimir Putin. The answer, ‘because it’s deeply satisfying’ was, apparently, not good enough. Instead, he implored those watching to ask themselves a series of questions as a means of determining whether it was fair to dislike a murderous autocrat. The first question was ‘Has Putin ever called me racist?’ I’m not sure that Putin has called me anything, but I put that down to luck. To date, we’ve never met. But if we did, I’m certain he’d steal my bathroom soaps, extinguish his cigar in my pot plant before kicking the gate on the way out. That’s if he even agreed to leave. Knowing my luck, he’d annex the living room and spend the evening watching re-runs of ‘Perfect Strangers’ (he’s a big fan of Balki, apparently). Tucker’s second question was even more penetrating: ‘Has Putin ever threatened to fire me for disagreeing with him?’ Not me, personally. But he has a pretty handy record of assassinating opposition leaders and adding a spoonful of Novichok to someone’s tea when a sachet of Sweet’n low would have been more appropriate. Now that I think of it, getting fired by Vladimir Putin would be the least of your problems. I’m really not sure what point Tucker was trying to make. It didn’t end there. Tucker also asked whether Putin had ‘manufactured a worldwide pandemic that wrecked your business?’ It’s not a theory I’ve heard, but I’d say it can neither be ruled in or out. The questions then came thick and fast. ‘Is he teaching my children to embrace racial discrimination?’ (I don’t believe he’s registered as a teacher, so possibly not). ‘Is he making Fentanyl?’

(Definitely – he’s got a thing for pharmaceuticals.) It ended with the somewhat mystifying ‘Does he eat dogs?’ (I can’t say for sure but, on balance, probably.) Before I had so much a chance to finish writing down my answers, Tucker spoiled it by adding, ‘The answer to all these questions is no’. I had one ‘no’, a couple of ‘yeses’ and a ‘maybe’. I’m not sure what the point of the exercise was, save that it’s surely the worst decision tree, ever. Things only got freakier from there. He referred to the tensions (and, frankly, imminent invasion) as a ‘border dispute’. That’s a bit like describing Ebola as a case of the sniffles. Tucker then compared the ‘border dispute’ with a decision to allow ‘the world’ (presumably tourists) to enter America. He then made what can only be described as the stupidest statement ever uttered on television, which given the humdingers that preceded it, is saying something – noting that situation is described as ‘equitable’ and the other a ‘war crime’. The difference, of course, is tanks. Generally, if you turn up in a tank there’s a chance that your arrival will be viewed as hostile. Or maybe that’s just me. P.J. O’Rourke would have had plenty to say about the current state of affairs. He passed away a couple of weeks ago. I loved how he wrote about politics. Insightful, hilarious and biting. He’d have had plenty to say about Tucker Carlson. P.J. and I didn’t always agree, but he’d have agreed with me on this much - Vladimir Putin is a jerk. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

BLACK COCKATOO TELLS UNTOLD STORY OF AUSTRALIA’S ALL-INDIGENOUS CRICKET TEAM ALMOST 20 years before Australia and England faced-off in the first-ever Ashes battle, it was an all-Indigenous team from Western Victoria who paved the way. Over 150 years ago, 13 brave Aboriginal men in Western Victoria picked up their cricket bats and embarked on a treacherous voyage to England and into the unknown – all in the name of sport. Risking illness and persecution, Australia’s first international cricket team – including Australia’s first Indigenous sporting hero, Johnny Mullagh – amazed the English crowds with astonishing talent, personality and grit. They should have returned to Australia as celebrated heroes. Instead they came back to find the world they once knew was no longer there. Ensemble Theatre’s production of Black Cockatoo premiered at the Sydney Festival in 2020 and is now on a nationwide tour bringing it to Frankston Arts Centre on Tuesday 15

March. This funny and incredibly moving Australian play was written by Geoffrey Atherden (Mother and Son) and directed by former Sydney Festival Artistic Director, Wesley Enoch. Enoch explains, “Everyone should know this story. It’s about our great national obsession and our great national neglect.” “Australian Cricket is full of characters and stories, some we know about but many we don’t. But, few would know about the first ever Australian team to tour to England; the fact that is was in 1868 and that the team was made up of 13 Aboriginal cricketers from Western Victoria, that one player died and was buried in London or that Johnny Mullagh was our first Australian sporting hero.” Black Cockatoo will be performed at Frankston Arts Centre on Tuesday 15 March, 8pm.

Langwarrin women make history, Baden Powell take out top spot By Brodie Cowburn

MPCA WOMENS

LANGWARRIN have been crowned the first ever MPCA Women’s division premiers. Langwarrin took on Balnarring at Lloyd Park on Sunday. The two sides have played each other twice this season, with a tie the result in round one and a 12 run win to Langwarrin the result in round six. Balnarring chose to bat first on Grand Final day. They set Langy a target of 90 to score to win. Some good bowling from Kiah Laughlin-Glen frustrated Balnarring. She posted figures of 3/21, her best bowling of the season. Langwarrin’s run chase was led by first drop batter Kylie Walters. She has been a star all season for Langwarrin, and Sunday was no different. She scored 44 not out to get her side over the line. Langwarrin hit the winning runs with six wickets to spare. They have claimed their spot in history as the inaugural MPCA Women’s premiers.

PROVINCIAL

THE MPCA men’s season has come to an end, and finals have arrived. In the Provincial division, Baden Powell finished on top of the ladder de-

spite a rain interrupted day on Saturday. They drew against Long Island. Old Peninsula held onto second place despite falling to defeat against Red Hill. Old Peninsula batted first on their home deck, and put together a good score. They put 201 runs on the scoreboard, 78 of them coming from Wade Pelzer. Pelzer has been in good form as of late. He has scored three half centuries in five matches. Red Hill’s run chase was boosted by a dominant showing from opener Luke Robertson. He smashed 11 fours on his way to a score of 91. Red Hill managed to just get over the line. Simon Dart also contributed with a good score of 51. Langwarrin finished third. They cemented their spot with a dominant 82 run win over Sorrento, who occupy the last finals position. Baxter finished one win outside the top four. Mt Eliza finished last, with Red Hill narrowly above them on percentage.

PENINSULA

PINES have finished the 2021/2022 Peninsula division season on top of the ladder. Already mathematically confirmed to finish on top, Pines could afford to play

without too much pressure on Saturday. They flexed their muscle by defeating Rosebud. Pines scored 161 during their innings. Opener Connor Jackson top scored with 54. Rosebud offered up very little during their run chase. They were bowled out for just 97. Ashley Nagel was Rosebud’s best batter with a score of 17. Rosebud ended up claiming the wooden spoon, finishing the season with three wins. Pines will be joined in the finals by second-placed Heatherhill, third-placed Somerville, and the Seaford Tigers. Heatherhill defeated Mornington by nine wickets last weekend, while Somerville also picked up a win. Somerville chased down Moorooduc thanks to a huge 141 run partnership between Brenton Alp (88) and Leigh Lowry (81 n.o.). No result was reached during the weekend's final game, pitting Seaford Tigers against Flinders.

DISTRICT

DROMANA and Carrum Downs faced off on Saturday in a match to determine who would finish on top of the District division ladder. Dromana Reserve hosted the two sides. Carrum Downs elected to bat first, and it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

The in-form Gordon Waterfall was Carrum Downs’ best. He scored 54 runs before he was caught out. He has only been dismissed for a single digit score once since November. Gordon Waterfall’s wicket fell with his side at 3/127. From there they quickly collapsed, finishing all out for just 144. Adam Ciavarella helped send the tailend batters back to the sheds. He posted final figures of 3/26. Opener Kierran Voelkl was instrumental to Dromana’s run chase. He scored 58 not out from 99 deliveries. Dromana hit the winning runs with six overs left to play and six wickets left to spare. The win confirmed their spot on the top of the ladder heading into finals, with Carrum Downs finishing second. Carrum finished third and Delacombe Park finished fourth. The two sides drew against Hastings and lost to Frankston YCW respectively last weekend. Despite the good win, Frankston YCW still finished the season bottom of the ladder. The final match for the weekend saw Crib Point beat Main Ridge by 111 runs.

SUB DISTRICT

THE final Sub District division ladder order has been set after a tight season which saw less than two wins separate

top spot from sixth spot. Seaford finished on top of the ladder. Their match against Skye on Saturday ended with no result, but the two sides will get another chance to lock horns with each other this week. Skye finished fourth, setting up a semi-final clash with Seaford. Tyabb locked up second spot by defeating Pearcedale by 42 runs in a scrappy affair. Tyabb were bowled out for just 116 runs. Bradley Trotter took 4/11, his best ever figures, to help restrict their total. Trotter’s good performance continued with bat in hand. He opened for Pearcedale and scored 33 runs. Unfortunately for him he got no help from his teammates. All other Pearcedale batsmen failed to make a score in the double digits. They were bowled out for 74. Luke Rus took 4/27. Lachlan Hose also impressed with the ball, bowling six maidens and posting final figures of 2/6 off his eight overs. Tootgarook finished third. They defeated Rye on Saturday to confirm their finals place. Mt Martha finished just outside the top four. They defeated Ballam Park on Saturday, but other results didn’t go their way. Boneo defeated last-placed Balnarring to close out their season.

Tigertiger ready to pounce in Adelaide Cup HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou ROB Blacker hopes his Adelaide Cup plans for his promising stayer Tigertiger can come to fruition on Monday 14 March. The lightly raced six-year-old spectacularly rose through the grades over the spring from winning in maiden grade to winning a Stakes race in his first preparation with the Morningtonbased trainer. Since claiming the Listed Bagot Handicap (2800m) at Flemington on New Year’s day, Blacker has had the former New Zealand stayer solely aimed towards the Group 2 Adelaide Cup (3200m). Tigertiger had a freshen up following that Stakes success and has since put in two promising runs at Flemington. He finished seventh over 2000m last month before then running a game second last Saturday

over 2600m. Blacker said everything he’s done this prep has been purely geared towards getting Tigertiger ready for the 3200m contest. “I was really happy with how he went on Saturday, I don’t think we could’ve gone any better,” Blacker said. “I had him ready for the two miles on Saturday because it’s a really short turn around to the Adelaide Cup. I didn’t want to be having to do anything with him for fitness in between now and Adelaide, I just wanted it to be mainly recovery.” Blacker said he didn’t want to overdo it with the lightly framed stayer. “He’d be very, very easy for someone to overdo it with as he doesn’t carry a lot of condition which is tricky for a stayer because you need the miles in their legs. You need to know the horse and my son Natz, who

rides him in all of his work, has done a great job with him,” he said. Blacker is confident the rise to the 3200m won’t pose a problem for the son of Zed. “I’ve got no worries about the race and no worries about the distance. We will run into Daqiansweet Junior and Skelm and I think they’re just very good quality stayers and there’s no evidence that we’re any better than them yet,” he said. “We’re going there fit and ready but I’m not going there assuming we’re definitely the best horse in the race. We’ve still got to prove that, and our hope is that the 3200m is of more of an advantage to us than to the other horses in the field.” Jockey Harry Coffey is likely to take up the ride on Tigertiger who is expected to get in low at the weights. “I think we’ll be on the minimum, maybe half of a kilo over,” Blacker estimated.

Cup bound: Jockey Daniel Moor guides the Rob Blacker-trained Tigertiger to victory in the Listed Bagot Handicap. Picture: Supplied

Hodgson ruled out for season SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines captain CJ Hodgson won’t play this season due to post-concussion syndrome. Hodgson was substituted in a friendly against Mazenod early last month after a head clash. The 28-year-old has suffered multiple concussions throughout his career which now hangs in the balance as there is uncertainty over whether he can return. “I knew something wasn’t right straight away as my eye was going weird and there was blurriness so I had to come off,” Hodgson said. When a teammate phoned later that night it was clear that all was not well. “I was lying in bed when Marinos (Panayi) rang and I couldn’t put any words together because I was slurring my words so much.” Hodgson was off work for a week and “pretty much slept for most of the time”. An MRI was arranged and when he discussed the results with his GP she was blunt. “She told me that I had to take a year off for a start,” he said. “I don’t think it’s really hit me yet but I guess that will happen when the season starts and I can’t walk out and play.” This was to be Hodgson’s testimonial year and he was set to make his 250th appearance for Pines. He was forced to watch from the sidelines last Friday night instead of leading the side onto the synthetic pitch at Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve for its Australia Cup tie against Lara United. “I handed over the armband to Ryan (Ratcliffe) before the game and I told Christian (Malgioglio) he can have my number 14 shirt but they might retire it. “I have to see a concussion specialist as I’ve got short-term memory loss as well and I’ve got another MRI coming up so hopefully that doesn’t show up anything. “It’s not good but it is what it is and I’ve got to look after my health now.” And with Hodgson looking on Pines smashed Lara United 6-0. The home side led 1-0 at half-time courtesy of a Dave Change own goal in the 13th minute. Two goals in the opening minutes of the second half effectively ended this tie, the first from a superbly struck first-time strike by Joe O’Connor following a clever Malgioglio corner and the provider turned scorer a couple

CJ sidelined: Frankston Pines’ captain Chris Hodgson has been forced to stop playing this year. Picture: Darryl Kennedy of minutes later sneaking in at the far post for a simple finish. Liam Baxter made it 4-0 in the 68th minute after Thomas Dunn was sent clear on the right. Dunn’s cross was spilled by Lara keeper Jayden Bellears-Price and Baxter tapped it in. It was 5-0 after substitute Dylan Waugh finished off a Marinos Panayi cutback from the right in the 85th minute and an Aaran Currie header at the back post in the 91st minute completed the rout. Pines are one of just three local clubs remaining in the Cup along with Mornington and Langwarrin as Skye United and Peninsula Strikers went down to State 1 opponents. Mornington joined Pines after a 6-0 stroll against Uni Hill Eagles on Saturday while NPL2 outfit Langwarrin enters the draw for the next round with

games played midweek. Taylan Geylan gave Mornington the lead after just two minutes and further first half goals from Rhys Craigie and a second from Geylan had the home side in cruise control at the break. Craigie, Josh Hine and Tom Wood scored in the second half. This Saturday Mornington will play Caroline Springs George Cross at Dallas Brooks Park (seniors 11am, reserves 1pm). Skye lost 4-0 to Banyule City at Lawton Park while a Huss Chemini volley couldn’t stop Strikers losing 3-1 at Centenary Park to Eltham Redbacks. This Thursday Skye is back at Lawton Park to take on Langy’s under-21s at 7.15pm while Strikers are at home again on Saturday against Caroline Springs George Cross (1pm and 3pm). Skye is hoping to sign ex-Strikers

and Berwick City player Oscar Marsden. Meanwhile Langwarrin lost 2-0 to Melbourne City in a pre-season hitout at Lawton Park last week and no senior friendly is scheduled this weekend. Last weekend Chelsea drew 1-1 in its friendly at home against Knox City Churches. Chelsea’s goal came from a stunning free-kick from Will Ong and this Thursday Carlo Melino’s outfit meets Aspendale Stingrays at Edithvale Recreation Reserve (6.30pm and 8.30pm). Baxter went down 2-0 last weekend at home to State 3 title aspirant Noble Park United. George Hughes’ side did well against a Noble Park outfit that was undefeated last season and has made some significant additions to its squad. Nathan Yole was back for Baxter and Sunday Kim, a central defender on

trial from Doveton, was impressive. But Nat Daher, Dan Disseldorp, Matt McDermott and Jack Buttery were sidelined due to injury while Robbie O’Toole was unavailable due to cricket commitments. Baxter travels to Olympic Park this Thursday to take on home side Rosebud at 7.30pm. Somerville Eagles lost 4-3 to Bendigo City at Epsom Huntly Recreation Reserve on Saturday. Lee Barber’s side was without Jack Carter, Chris Thomas, Adam Steele, Guil Riberio and Connor Guyett and was 2-1 down at half-time. Somerville’s goals came from fine finishes by Adrian Pace, Ronnie Krishnan and Connor Mcfall whose volley from inside the area followed an excellent Krishnan cross from the left. “It was a very pleasing effort given that we had no fresh substitutes and weather conditions were tough,” Barber said. “And it was a huge effort from Joe Simmons who played a full game in the reserves and seniors.” Barber takes his side to Rowville Secondary College this Saturday to play Knox Churches at 3pm (reserves 1pm). Mount Martha was impressive in its 3-0 friendly away to State 4 side Lyndale United. The visitors took the lead in the 3rd minute when Ethan Sanderson ran onto a fine through ball from Connor Mooney and finished in the bottom corner. Mount Martha created chance after chance but a combination of good goalkeeping and poor finishing kept it at bay until the 75th minute. A pinpoint pass from Hamish Bugden split the Lyndale defence and Sanderson cleverly lifted the ball over the advancing keeper to make it 2-0. Later in the contest Sanderson thought he’d notched his hat-trick but the keeper did well to block his attempt only for Adam Martin to tuck away the loose ball. This Sunday Mount Martha hosts Mount Eliza in the annual Mental Health Safety Net Cup at Civic Reserve (1pm and 3pm). Aspendale Stingrays played friendlies on Thursday and Saturday last week winning both games. On Thursday the Stingrays won 5-0 against State 4 East opponent Noble Park with goals from James Macnab (2), Taylan Yildirim, Kieran Hughes and Ben Garside. On Saturday the Stingrays won 1-0 against Berwick Churches with Garside getting the winner.
