Young Mentone life savers among the best

MENTONE life savers emerged among the best from a field of 850 at the first life savers carnival for 2023.

Cosy Corner in Torquay hosted the first carnival of the year on 6 January. Teams from Chelsea Longbeach Surf Life Saving Club, Mentone LSC, Mordialloc LSC, Mornington LSC, Mount Martha LSC, and Point Leo SLSC competed.

Mentone Life Saving Club were the best performers among clubs from the Kingston and Mornington Penin-

sula areas. The Mentone team placed fourth overall.

Life Saving Victoria senior manager aquatic sport, Chris Schleusener, said the carnival was a success.

“The annual Cosy Corner carnival has become our biggest junior event on the sporting calendar outside of state championships and attracted competitors from 20 clubs across the state in 2023,” he said.

“Our juniors tested themselves in slightly choppy conditions, which is

great practice at skills such as surf swimming, board paddling and wading, which will come in handy when they become patrolling lifesavers someday. We look forward to returning to the Surf Coast on 15 January, when we host the second senior carnival for the season at Anglesea SLSC, which will showcase water, beach and rescue and resuscitation events, and a Victorian Surf Rowers League at nearby Fairhaven SLSC on the same day.”

Time has come for Nylex clock to tick again

MENTONE’S Nylex clock has been restored to its former glory.

The clock fell into disrepair after the Nylex factory in Mentone closed down in 2006. It had stood on Nepean Highway since 1967.

Kingston Council and current site tenant Bunnings undertook the restoration. The project is now complete and the refurbished clock is operating once again.

Kingston mayor Hadi Saab said “for decades the clock was an icon of our area, and it is exciting to know that it will remain as a nod to our history.”

“The clock was previously heritage-listed under our planning scheme, meaning it couldn’t be demolished and we have been working towards this outcome for a number of years,” he said. “Over recent years a number of iconic aspects of Kingston’s heritage have received substantial public and private investment, so we are very pleased to add the clock to the list of recent achievements.”

The Mordialloc and District Historical Society advocated for the clock to be restored.

Kingston councillor Chris Hill’s father worked for Nylex in the 60s and 70s. He said “it’s a nice quirk that grandparents and parents travelling past on the Nepean Highway will be able to tell their kids this is how we used to get the time and weather before mobile phones.”

“There was certainly a strong level of support from the community to get the clock running again and we are thrilled it has been restored. Hopefully the sign’s restoration also sparks interest in the history of Nylex as a manufacturing icon - a role it played in our local economy for 60 plus years.”

Helping young mums get back to school

YOUNG parents who have dropped out of high school are finishing their educations thanks to a Chisholm Institute program.

The Young Parents Program runs three times a week at Chisholm’s Frankston campus.

The YPP is tailored to the needs of young parents who have not completed high school, Chisholm Institute says. Program participants can bring their children to class and have access to support staff.

Elise used the program to help her finish her secondary education. She fell pregnant in Year 12, and thanks the support provided by the program for helping her complete her schooling.

“As a young mum, you feel very alone and it’s hard to relate to your peers. I

just don’t think I could have completed Year 12 if I stayed at my old high school - there is so much extra support that’s needed when you’re trying to finish school with a baby,” she said.

“The Young Parents Program provided the support I needed, with a childcare worker and a support worker who guided me through it all. I couldn’t have done any of this without them and the amazing teachers who genuinely care about their students. It really took the burden off my family as well.”

Elise completed Year 12 through the program and is now studying a Certificate III in pathology collection.

Chisholm Institute family support worker Maree Radford said “the benefits of a program like this are huge for

a young parent. It gives young people the opportunity to complete their VCE VM qualification at either an intermediate, Year 11, or senior, Year 12, level. They can make connections and get access to a wide range of community resources that otherwise would not be available to them.”

The YPP is co-funded by Anglicare Victoria’s Communities for Children and Chisholm. Program participants must be aged between 15 and 25 years, and have a child up to four years of age. Pregnant young people are also eligible. The program funds two years of attendance for students.

Pompei passes away

JOE Pompei of the famous Mordialloc Pompei family has died, aged 90.

Pompei passed away on 16 December. His funeral was held last week in Cheltenham.

Joe Pompei is the brother of “Mr Mordialloc” Jack Pompei. They ran Pompei Boatworks in Mordialloc.

The old Pompei Boatworks site is being turned into apartments. The development will be named after Joe Pompei, titled “Joe’s Quarter”. Construction is expected to commence this year.

In addition to his achievements in boating, Pompei also boxed. He recorded 10 wins, four by knockout, during the 1950s.

Artist to improve road

AN artist has been commissioned to brighten up Follett Road in Cheltenham.

Carla Gottgens will complete artworks to be installed onto electrical poles, a footpath, and walkways along the road.

Workshops with local residents have been completed to help shape the project. Kingston mayor Hadi Saab said “it’s really exciting to see this has been progressed in a truly meaningful and collaborative way, with both the traders and local children and I can’t wait to see the final outcome.”

Kingston councillor Jenna DaveyBurns said “driven by the dreams of a local schoolteacher, this art project is about celebrating our connections and our identity as a local community. It brings together our unique cultures and stories along with the farming history of market gardens. I am so proud of how everyone has gotten behind the design, it is really special.”

Kingston Council will also upgrade parking on the road, install new seating, and plant new trees.

Works are expected to be complete this month.

The Victorian Government is making it easier for families to find a three and four-year old kinder learning program they can count on.

Information guide on marine life

A PROGRAM is helping young people identify and learn about marine life found in local sanctuaries.

Parks Victoria is encouraging young people to use its Parks Victoria Junior Rangers program to learn more about the plants and animals in places like Ricketts Point in Beaumaris.

“The Parks Victoria Junior Rangers program has a great guide to help you discover and appreciate the plants and animals that call Victoria’s rocky shores their home. The most common you can keep your eye out for at Ricketts Point include anemones, sea stars, and crabs,” Parks Victoria said.

“Ricketts Point is protected as a marine sanctuary. Here are some ideas to minimise your impact, as thousands of people visit here each year. Remember, anything may be an important habitat, whether it’s seaweed or empty shells – don’t remove anything. Whenever possible, walk on bare rocks instead of on algae or animals like barnacles or mussels. Look, don’t touch. When viewing animals, the best way to care for them is to point and demonstrate, rather than picking them up.”

Visitors are recommended to be careful on uneven surfaces, and wear appropriate footwear.

Police officer dies at station

A POLICE officer died at Moorabbin Police Station last week.

The police officer was found dead at the police station on 13 January. His death is not being treated as suspicious.

Police Association Victoria confirmed the death on its Facebook page last week. “We can confirm reports of a non-operational

incident that occurred at the Moorabbin police station yesterday afternoon where a police member has sadly passed away,” it said. “Our thoughts are with the family and colleagues of the deceased member who will be supported by The Police Association and Victoria Police.”

Cyclist dies after alleged hit and run

A CYCLIST was killed in an alleged hit and run in Bangholme last week.

The cyclist was found by Frankston-Dandenong Road at around 6am on 13 January. The 68-year-old man from Dandenong was declared dead at the scene.

Police allege the cyclist was hit just north of Thompsons Road, and that the driver left the

scene.

Later on 13 January, police charged a 37-year-old Cranbourne East man with dangerous driving causing death and failing to render assistance.

The alleged offender was released on bail, and will appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 22 May.

International artists create sculptures

NEW sculptures have been installed across Frankston.

The five new artworks were installed late last year. The sculptures have been completed by artists from Australia, Japan, and Iraq.

Figurative Abstraction by Norton Flavel has been installed at the Pines Forest Aquatic Centre. Marsh Boat by Ayad Alqaragholli now stands at the intersection of Cranbourne Road and Baxter Street. As One by Ron Gomboc now calls the intersection of Seaford Rd and Brunel Road home.

Metamorphosis – Two Spirals by Tetsuro Yamasaki has been placed at the Frankston Library Forecourt, and Vertical Wave by Hikaru Yumura is at Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre. Frankston councillor Kris Bolam says that the new sculptures will “complement our expanding public arts and build on Frankston City’s vibrant arts and culture.”

“Council’s investment in the arts encourages community connection, wellbeing and pride of place, and our murals, sculptures and arts events have become a celebrated part of Frankston’s identity,” he said. “Discover sculptures dotted throughout the city, in parks and gardens and along the coastline which complete the City’s sophisticated blend of urban, coastal and contemporary arts and cultural experiences.”

Deputy mayor poses with fringe group founder

FRANKSTON deputy mayor Liam Hughes is standing by his decision to pose next to a notorious local conspiracy theorist during a Herald Sun photoshoot.

The Herald Sun article published last week detailed Frankston Council’s plans to build a kindergarten at Long Reserve. The photo accompanying the story showed deputy mayor Liam Hughes standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Darren Bergwerf, a failed political candidate and the founder of an organisation called My Place.

My Place purports to be a “supportive and caring community” group on its website. In reality many of its members are conspiracy theorists, self-proclaimed “sovereign citizens”, and anti-vaxxers masquerading as grassroots activists. They use a private Facebook group to regularly share anti-vax posts, advice about alternative medicine, and baseless claims about the legitimacy of local government.

The My Place website states that the goal of the group is to “implement a project that allows us to step away from the current systems that are not serving our best interests”. Bergwerf has also encouraged people to set up My Place groups outside of Frankston.

Bergwerf falsely claims that Frankston Council is an illegitimate council. He has set up a group named the “Frankston People’s Council”, and calls himself the mayor.

Bergwerf contested both the state and

federal elections last year as an independent, using public candidate forums to espouse anti-vax views and sensationally claim that “there should be a royal commission into our governments, and they should be removed and put in jail.” After comprehensively losing at the federal election, he took to social media to share false claims of electoral fraud.

Frankston Council deputy mayor Liam Hughes has defended his decision to pose alongside Bergwerf for a photo. “I stood with and supported over a hundred residents who are against their beautiful reserve potentially being taken away from them.

A photo of me supporting the Long Street Reserve residents should be seen by anyone and everyone,” he said.

When asked by The News if he condemns Bergwerf’s baseless theory that council is illegitimate, Hughes said “as an elected member of council, I

believe that Frankston City Council is legitimate.” “I will tell you what legitimises a theory - the media’s obsession with this group. Whether it be the Frankston Times, Crikey, or any other social media posts, every single person who ignores the issue of the reserve and instead focuses on this particular group is promoting and amplifying that same group’s cause,” Hughes said. “The irony of the media aiming to minimise a group of people by relentlessly promoting that same group of people through articles is baffling.”

The News is not suggesting that Hughes shares Bergwerf’s beliefs.

A Crikey story published last week read that many of the protesters who attended the protest gathering at Long Reserve were members of the My Place group.

The News has confirmed that the My Place Frankston Facebook group was used to organise attendance at

the protest.

My Place members attended multiple Frankston council meetings last year - one of those meetings was temporarily stopped so the public gallery could be thrown out after repeated interruptions.

Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy has not condemned Hughes for being photographed with Bergwerf. “Frankston City Council is committed to engaging widely to deliver the best for residents and community groups in building Frankston’s future. The proposed bush kindergarten at Long Street Reserve in Langwarrin is no exception,” he said. “We want to hear views from right across our community as we develop and design this much needed and exciting new community asset, which will ensure local families have access to local kindergarten services into the future.”

Darren Bergwerf was contacted for comment.

Major stars on course for Mornington

TWO of the greats of Australian golf will spend the Australia Day long weekend on the Mornington Peninsula as part of the TPS Victoria golf tournament at Rosebud Country Club.

For the third year in succession 2006 US Open champion Geoff Ogilvy will not only tee it up but serve as tournament host and will be joined for the first time by seventime major champion, Karrie Webb.

The first of four Webex Players Series events to be played on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia, the unique format sees men and women competing on the same course for the same prize pool.

Round 1 tees off on Australia Day, January 26, with the winner

crowned on the 18th green on Sunday afternoon, January 29.

General admission for spectators is free each day but for the full experience the Webex Players Club is the place to be.

The Webex Players Club features access to the course and the exclusive hospitality suite, a five-hour beverage package, gourmet lunch, plus spectacular views of the 18th green. A resident DJ will keep the crowd moving with a Sunday summer vibe as the excitement builds towards the tournament climax.

“Geoff and Karrie are legends of the game so TPS Victoria provides a wonderful opportunity for fans to watch them showcase their skills in

a relaxed environment,” said PGA of Australia Tournaments Director Australasia, Nick Dastey. “Very few tournaments anywhere in the world allow fans to get so close to the action and it really does provide a deeper insight into just how talented the players are. “The Webex Players Series also serves as a wonderful platform for our emerging stars who are seeking to advance their careers and show that they too, can go on to enjoy success on the world stage.”

In addition to his US Open triumph at Winged Foot, Ogilvy is one of only five players to win at least three World Golf Championship events, the others being Tiger Woods (18),

Dustin Johnson (six), Phil Mickelson (three) and Rory McIlroy (three).

Webb’s career is without parallel in Australia. She owns more major wins than any other Australian golfer, her total of seven placing her tied seventh for most LPGA major wins in the game’s history.

Last year she edged out longtime rival Annika Sorenstam at the Senior LPGA Championship and will be suited to the short but exacting Rosebud layout that emphasizes precision over power.TPS Victoria also serves as the first event in the second half of the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia season.

Those to have won already this season – David Micheluzzi, Deyen

Lawson, Aaron Wilkin, Andrew Martin and Tom Power Horan –are among the entries along with defending TPS Victoria champion, Todd Sinnott.

Adding further star power to the women’s section of the field are two-time Ladies European Tour winner Stephanie Kyriacou and LPGA Tour veteran Sarah Jane Smith and Mornington Peninsula- based Charlotte Thomas.

TPS Victoria is made possible by the support of Webex, the Victorian Government, the R&A, Rosebud Country Club and the Geoff Ogilvy Foundation.

Shire President Assaulted Protecting Foreshore And Beaches

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

ONE day last week, Cr. W. Armstrong, president of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, noticed a man removing firewood, apparently without authority, from the foreshore at Seaford.

In his capacity as foreshore bailiff, it is Cr. Armstrong’s duty to keep an eye open to detect, and if possible, prevent illegal happenings on the foreshore.

The man he had under suspicion last week evidently repeated the open eye and took prompt measures to close it.

Cr. Armstrong approached the fellow and made a few pertinent inquiries, and then it is alleged that the man struck him, causing painful injury to his eye.

As the result of the assault, Cr. Armstrong was unable to leave his room for several days and he was compelled to forego an important social engagement at Seaford last Saturday night.

Much sympathy is felt throughout the district with the Shire President, and the hope is expressed that prompt measures will he taken to bring the culprit to justice.

The occurrence is one likely to have effect all along the bayside.

From Frankston to Mentone, various citizens have been appointed by the Government to act as guardians of the beaches and foreshore. The office is purely an honorary one, but frequently entails duties which really requires the services of members of the police Force.

Cr. Armstrong’s experience is a case in point. It is not to be expected that ordinary civilians should run the risk of being battered and abused by unscrupulous villains whose conduct in public places such as the beach and

foreshore, frequently call for intervention.

The police of course are willing and anxious to assist, but their services are not readily available, just when required.

Perhaps the various bayside Councils could meet in conference and evolve some method of coping with the difficulty.

THE committee of the tennis tournament, held in connection with the Boxing Day carnival, have handed in the net proceeds of their efforts, the sum of £20/5/6.

In doing so they wish to acknowledge with gratitude the generous spirit that prompted the winners of the men’s and ladies’ doubles, namely, Messrs. Fleming and Rogers, and Misses J. and N. Howie, to return their trophies to the funds of the memorial, and also Mr. Mann’s share in the 2nd prize in the mixed doubles, which he also returned.

The following raffles have been drawn with the results attached:

Dressed doll, given by Mrs. Baxter, won by Mr. Bond; bottles of wine, won by Master Angus Cameron; pair military brushes, won by Mr. J. Turnbull, of Black Rock.

The winning number in the “Flapper” competition is No. 9. The carnival committee has decided to extend the drawing for the block of land the pony, and the “When the Clock Stops” competitions until Easter or until such time as the books are all taken up.

Mr. Jordahl, of Langwarrin, is the winner of a large bon-bon; Miss Fletcher also won a bon-bon; Master Elliott the large Christmas stocking; Mr. Geo. Chitty a table centre.

The guessing name competition is not yet completed.

The gross proceeds to late reported from the sweet stalls is over £90.

Mrs. Mason reports a nett receipt of £22/4/2. Other reports not yet completed, but will appear as they come in from time to time. ***

AN exciting match was witnessed at Somerville on Saturday last when Somerville B met and defeated Mornington by one run.

Somerville were without the services of J. Gregory and C. Grant, whilst Mornington were without “Bun” Woolhouse, their wicket-keeper.

Features of the match were Clarke’s 29, the collapse of Somerville, and the bowling of Munro and Fitzroy, whose last four wickets were, obtained at a cost of two runs.

Mornington made 82 and Somerville with 2 wickets down for 66 runs, looked “home and dried,” but a rot set in and three were wanted when the last man went in.

A hit for four won the match, whilst the last wicket fell with the next ball

***

HERBERT Jones, was again before the Frankston Police Court on Monday last, when the bench was occupied by Messrs. C. V. G. Williams (chairman), C. W. Grant, P. Wheeler and Brown, J.sP.

“I don’t know anything about it,” he replied, when charged with unlawfully pawning a breech-loading gun, the property of J. C. Gowdie, orchardist, of Langwarrin.

It was only a few weeks ago that Jones was before the Frankston Court on a charge of stealing jewellery from a house at Langwarrin, when he was

committed for trial, to appear at the Melbourne Court of General Sessions next month.

He was brought from the Melbourne gaol to explain about the gun.

Senior-Constable Cullane conducted the prosecution.

J. C. Gowdie identified the gun in court as the one he loaned to accused to shoot foxes. When asked to return it accused told Gowdie he had broken the gun and had taken it to Melbourne to have it repaired.

Wm. Tilley, pawnbroker of Carlton, said he advanced accused £4 on the gun.

Accused: Are you quite sure you recognise me?

Witness (smiling): Oh, yes!

The chairman said the Bench had some doubt as to whether the case could be proceeded with in the Frankston Court.

Senior-Constable Callane said if accused offered no objection the case could be dealt with. Accused, when consulted, said he preferred to have the charge disposed of straight away.

Senior-Constable Cullane said there was a second charge against accused.

Accused said he would plead guilty to both charges if the Court would deal with him at once.

Jones then pleaded guilty to unlawfully pawning a single breech-loading gun, the property of a Langwarrin orchardist named Parker.

Accused asked to be dealt with leniently.

A list of previous convictions was read, disclosing the fact that accused was a man with a lengthy and unenviable record, including convictions for sheep stealing, at Warrnambool, 3 years; horse stealing, 2 years; unlaw-

fully pawning goods, false pretenses, 2 years.

On the present charges he was sentenced to 3 months imprisonment on each count, the sentences to be concurrent.

***

MR. John E. Jones, on behalf of the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission, notifies by advertisement in another column that all water rates in the Frankston South and Frankston Urban districts due on 13th October last, must be paid to the collector at the Municipal Chambers, Frankston, forthwith.

***

RESIDENTS on Frankston line have an opportunity this week of investing in a subdivision that is sure to appeal to them as it will to investors outside their area.

No more secure form of laying by for future benefit can he found than an investment in land.

Artella Estate is one of those about which there need be no hesitancy.

Ideally situated at the rear of The Fernery, overlooking the Bay, it has a commanding, healthy position.

The area is necessarily limited and those buyers who secure one or more of the eleven beautiful building sites will have no cause for regret in a few years from now.

It is admitted that seaside land has increased in value to an extraordinary degree of late, and now that the general outlook in Australia has taken such a favorable turn prices will still tend to rise in very much less time than formerly.

The Adversarial Anniversary

By Stuart McCullough

ULTIMATELY we all want the same thing. No matter who we are or where we come from, deep within each of us is a burning desire to live our best life. The hope that we might do so is the very thing that sustains us and drives to get up in the morning to put our pants on, one leg at a time. Granted, I’m overlooking ambi-trousered freaks that put their pants on, both legs simultaneously. Those people can’t be trusted.

But as much we may strive to live the best life we can with whatever meagre talents the Universe has seen fit to bestow upon us, what if there was an alternative? What if, instead of living your best life, you had the chance to live somebody else’s?

We went out to lunch. It was a glorious occasion. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and I’d managed to secure a midday booking. As we arrived, the waitress stepped towards us with a grin as wide as the ocean and declared ‘happy anniversary!’

She sounded so incredibly certain. It seemed rude to disagree. So despite the fact that our lunch was not adjacent to anything you could fairly describe as an ‘anniversary’, we nodded and simply said ‘thanks’.

I realize there were other options. It would be possible, for example, to take umbrage. Take it where, I couldn’t say, but definitely take umbrage somewhere. By wishing us a happy anniversary at a time wholly unrelated to our anniversary, they had clearly mistaken us for two other peo-

ple. Some folk might react to a case of mistaken identity by saying something regrettable like, ‘Don’t you know who I am?’ Unfortunately, if you ever find yourself in a situation where it’s necessary to ask ‘Don’t you know who I am?’ the answer is, inevitably, either ‘no’ or ‘I don’t care’. No good can come of it. Ever.

A better reaction might have been to ask who we were. Or, at any rate, who she thought we were. Instead, we

accepted the misplaced warm wishes, believing we’d heard the last of it. Tragically, we were wrong. Clearly the couple we had been mistaken for had decided to go all out. I knew we were in trouble when a plate of food arrived with the words ‘happy anniversary’ written in what I think may have been a mix of truffle oil, a balsamic reduction and unicorn tears (possibly). It must have taken them ages. The lettering was so pre-

cise and perfect, it almost seemed a shame to ruin it with a piece of char grilled asparagus. Only as I pushed the food into my mouth did I notice what I think might have been a tear in the waiter’s eye.

We had only just started the main course when I realized we were surrounded. What seemed to be every staff member in the entire restaurant had encircled our table, singing ‘You Are The Sunshine Of My Life’ in perfect three-part harmony. Their voices rang out as other people began to cheer them on. Clearly, we were stuck in the middle of something we couldn’t control.

On the one hand, it’s nice to be showered with praise, even if it’s undeserved. On the other, it’s impossible not to reflect on the fact that there were two other restaurant patrons to whom all this acclaim and love rightly belonged. Doubtless, they felt aggrieved as they watched us bathe in the good wishes of others and wondered when someone might get around to wishing them ‘Happy Anniversary’. They’d be waiting a long time.

I started to panic. Drops of sweat appeared like rivets on my brow. Granted, the salad was a bit heavy handed on the chili, but I was suffering under the weight of my conscience and I wanted the madness stop before our ruse was uncovered. I considered trying to sneak out before dessert, except they asked if we’d pose for photos with the kitchen staff and the patrons. I got up to go to the bathroom and they released a hundred white doves in my

honour. Talk about awkward.

Other guests were lining up to get a Selfie with us. I felt embarrassed. I felt ashamed. Indeed, I lost all Selfie respect as I grinned my way through the afternoon.

Ultimately it was too much, we were stealing somebody else’s big day. Not out of malice but because we didn’t want to tell the waitress she’d made a mistake. An announcement was in order. Standing on my chair, I cleared my throat and confessed that we were imposters. The couple by the window shouted ‘yes’ in full-throated vindication and punched the sky, almost hitting a low flying dove.

Having confessed to wrongfully inhabiting somebody else’s life for a few hours, I would now have to accept my just desserts. Which, in this case, was a vanilla chocolate mousse with berry compote. There was another message, this time written in what I hoped was chocolate – ‘Get out’ it read. Normally, it’s the patron that tips the staff, but this was a tip I was more than willing to take.

I’d like to formally apologise to the couple whose anniversary we inadvertently (at least to begin with) stole. If there’s anything we can do make it up to you both, please don’t hesitate to ask. If you’d like a full fork-by-fork description of the meal or would like one of the doves back so you can raise it as your own, you need only ask. Think of it as our gift to you. Happy anniversary.

HIT ACT HEADS TO SILVERS

SILVERS Circus, a Mornington tradition, is back in town to kick off the 2023 season.

This year they are very proud to announce the arrival of a new quirky comic Walison Muh. Walison is not just your average ‘funny guy. Oh no! You may remember Walison making it all the way to the finals on ‘Australia’s got Talent’ on TV in 2022.

Walison said the ‘Australia’s got Talent’ experience was one of the best and one he will always treasure and remember.

Walison and his crazy bright orange Mohawk reign from Brazil where he fell in love with the circus at the tender age of 13. He recalls going to see a show in his hometown of Brazil with his cousins where their minds burst with

curiosity.

Not being able to afford tickets to get in to see the show, the young Muh did odd jobs around the circus, including being a popcorn seller to gain entry.

Once in the tent he was incorrigible!

Nothing would stop Walison from dedicating himself to the hours, weeks and months of training and practice it took to be noticed and hired by the touring circus.

That is now of course romantic history, but what we do know as of January 2023 this colourful character with cases packed full of his hilarity and mirth have indeed arrived at Silvers Circus Spectacular.

More bins the answer

The article about rubbish reflects the annual gripe that appears every year for about six weeks (“Tourists told to ‘clean up’” The News 10/1/23).

One of Mornington Peninsula Shire Councils titled “experts” rattles on about educating the masses, bla,bla,bla when blind Freddie knows that the solution which the council refuses to address is more bins.

They pay lip service to the problem by trying to shut us up, explaining that they have increased the number of bins and frequency of emptying.

It is still not enough and, rather than address the problem seriously, the precious people on council prefer to concentrate on irrelevancies such as the arts and Aboriginal rights.

Frankly, the average ratepayer couldn’t give two hoots about performing and other forms of art at the expense of providing essential services.

Complaints about jetski misbehavior is a police matter; not a council matter. The rubbish problem is assisted daily by the voluntary acts of early morning dog walkers. Where is the high cost beach cleaning machine when you need it?

The real problem is off beach areas where more bins are needed, and you only reach enough when the amount of overflow litter is eliminated.

Council moans that its ability to raise revenue from tourists is limited. True, but as tourism benefits only the business community then why not raise more rate revenue from these venues?

Barry Rumpf, McCrae

Decision not divine

The decision for Ryman Healthcare in VCAT over the holiday period is a blow to the protection of the Mornington Peninsula’s green wedge and environment. There is nothing divine about the decision as suggested by making a quotation to the Bible without the correct reference (“Age with dignity” Letters 10/1/23).

I regard Ryman as a bully that applied to the Mornington Peninsula Shire twice and VCAT twice until it got the decision it wanted at the costs of ratepayers. This is not divine intervention and we as a community should not celebrate

this decision but, again, be very concerned at the influence big money has and is willing to use to get its way. Craig Thomson, Rye

Change is forever

There was a very pertinent remark made in support of the gross (over)development of the Moondah Mansion in Mount Eliza by Ryman Healthcare (“Age with dignity” Letters 10/1/23): ”Many in their twilight years can now look forward to ageing with dignity within the landscape they love, with the care and safety they need.”

But that’s one of the biggest issues; sadly the landscape will be forever changed by this development, and not in a positive way, and certainly not loved and respected in the way it currently is by local residents.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council does not support the development of this retirement village, no one I know supports this development - it is certainly not what the majority of Mornington Peninsula residents want.

We want to protect our green wedge.

Perhaps a retirement village in the Patterson Lakes marina would be more suitable.

Kylie Bierman, Mornington

Ryman ‘white elephant’

It’s all very well submitting pro-Ryman Healthcare letters from a Patterson Lakes address, but you have no idea, or of superannuation invested in the coastal neighbourhood classified Kunyung Road, Mount Eliza properties that will be significantly impacted upon by such suburban commercial development by a New Zealand-based company based on a profit making model (“Age with dignity” Letters 10/1/23).

I see absolute cant and codswallop classifying this absentee, pro-developer propagandised support for the rape of an historical part for our village and attack upon the safety and security of hundreds of primary school children and their parents, not forgetting the negative impact upon the rateable land values of many retirees along that road.

The only saving grace is that Ryman Healthcare has missed the boat to pack its now uneconomi-

cally much downsized religious-centred retirement dogbox dumping hotel because it is obvious that meantime, other developers have surged ahead and built an oversupply of similar encampments.

Early purchasers buying into 60-70 Kunyung road will find themselves isolated from local infrastructure because there isn’t any, and occupying a distinctly under populated set of multistorey building blocks which will eventually compel Ryman management to sell it off as unprofitable. It will be left an empty white elephant with no community net benefit.

Ian Morrison, convenor Mt Eliza Community Alliance

Not voting for me

Voting history is the latest thing Liberal politicians are trying to scrub from the internet. Coalition politicians have taken exception to a website which lists their voting records, claiming it distorts their stances.

Taking a look at how our esteemed federal representative, Flinders MP Zoe McKenzie, represented us for 2022, it is amazing how many times she was absent from parliament and did not vote.

With climate change identified as one of the most important issues on the Mornington Peninsula, she voted consistently against net zero emissions by 2035, net zero emissions by 2050, the Paris Climate Agreement. Also voted consistently against increasing transparency of big business by making information public.

Then, of course, voting against caps on price gouging by the fossil fuel industry; a clear indication that she “doesn’t want energy prices that inconvenience the gas industry”.

Voted specifically against censuring [former prime minister] Scott Morrison and the higher education support amendment McKenzie was part of the group that made sure the National Anti-Corruption Commission is basically secret and corruption is hidden from public view. Works for me? Not.

When MPs vote they are not voting for a person, they are voting for a political party and its agenda, except for legitimate independents who tend to listen and vote on the issues.

In summary: The Liberal Party brand is no longer “fit for purpose” and has lost its volunteer base on the ground, according to an internal review reported by the Australian Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Staff thanked

As a 74 year old grandmother who loves kayaking for fun I would like to take this opportunity to thank the wonderful staff of young people at Mornington Boat Hire on Scout Beach, Mornington. They are very helpful, always respectful, hardworking and ready to have a chat.

Nothing is too much trouble.

It gives someone of my generation faith in the future leadership of this country.

Marilyn Hoban, Mornington

Respect lacking

With regard to the recent events in relation to the death of Cardinal George Pell in Rome, it should be pointed out that we, as a nation, claim in our present constitution that when we are charged with a criminal offence be granted the fair judicial system, which is applicable to every citizen of being innocent until proven guilty. However, a prominent television station used, on the sudden death of the cardinal, a news caption, two words only: Pell dead.

A primary school child leaving grade six should be capable of putting a short sentence together to indicate that a well-known and popular citizen be given the due respect that is deserved, has died, but our “clever” media operators did not have the wit or the will to act responsibly in this particular case.

His Eminence, Cardinal Pell was placed in a now historical situation of being misjudged by two judges and a collection of jurors (oh the power of it all) and he was sent to jail for 406 days for an obviously unprovable case, with no true facts to sustain it.

As a supposedly fair-minded people it should send a shudder through our collective brains to act wisely and not become the banana republic a few load-mouthed’ minorities would like to set us up as. Maureen Federico, Frankston South

The gift that keeps on giving

By Barry Irving R

J Rowley Reserve was the venue for the running of the 47th Rye Gift on Saturday 14 January.

After a two year covid hiatus, competitors and supporters of athletics turned up in numbers to watch this iconic Mornington Peninsula event.

The Rye Cricket Club provided a sumptuous sponsors lunch that was enjoyed by all.

Rye sports and Social Club President Gary Gillies welcomed the sponsors and guests thanking the sponsors once again for getting behind the event despite a tough couple of years.

Major sponsor Bendigo Bank Community Bank Southern Peninsula board chairman Vin Cheers spoke of the bank's commitment to local clubs and associations adding the bank was proud to support the gift with a $15,000 sponsorship.

Other speakers representing local and state government were councillors Sarah Race, Antonella Celli and Sam Groth MP Member for Nepean.

The event is run under the very professional team from the VAL

(Victorian Athletics League).

Competitors travel from across all Victoria to this the first event on the VAL calendar.

It was a hot start to this year’s competition with temperatures approaching 30 degrees, made a little more bearable by a light easterly breeze.

The kids enjoyed face painting and a jumping castle, while for adults a beverage tent and a variety of hot food was available all day. A bookmaker was on site for those fancied to pick a winner.

In a first since 2014 Rye won both of the junior and the senior footballers relays cheered on by a noisy parochial crowd.

The two feature events on the day were the 120 metre Women’s Rye Gift and Men’s Rye gift.

Hastings looked to score quickly to grab a win within a day. They lost seven wickets along the way, but still managed to get the victory by stumps.

All eyes turn to the Wallace Cup

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

THE 10th staging of the Steve Wallace Cup takes place at Lawton Park, Langwarrin on Saturday.

The event commemorates the life of local soccer icon Stephen William Wallace who was 54 years old when he died on 19 July 2011 and was a former Langwarrin player, coach, president, life member, club council representative and Bayside League referee.

His daughter and current Langwarrin president Tanya Wallace is the tournament organiser and is proud of the manner in which this charity tournament showcases the local game.

“It’s a special tournament for teams on the peninsula,” she said.

“It brings people together and it’s a great day to celebrate my dad almost 12 years after his passing.

“The day allows us to remember him, cherish him and play the game that he loved.”

COVID-19 rules forced a revised event last year with a series of one-off 90-minute games so no winner was declared but the tournament returns to a more familiar format this year.

Here is the draw with matches starting at 12.30pm on pitch 1 and pitch 2:

PITCH 1 (top pitch): 12:30pm: Somerville v Mt Martha, 1:15pm: Skye v Mt Eliza, 2pm: Strikers v Somerville, 2:45pm: Langwarrin v Baxter, 3:30pm: Strikers v Mt Martha, 4:15pm: Mornington v Mt Eliza, 5:30pm: SEMI-FINAL 1.

PITCH 2 (main pitch): 12:30pm: Strikers v Pines, 1:15pm: Baxter v Rosebud, 2pm: Pines v Mt Martha, 2:45pm: Mornington v Skye, 3:30pm: Pines v Somerville, 4:15pm: Langwarrin v Rosebud, 5:30pm: SEMIFINAL 2.

The final will kick-off on the main pitch at 6.30pm and all games throughout the tournament will consist of 17½-minute halves with no half-time breaks.

Previous Wallace Cup winners are: Casey Comets 2013; Mornington 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018; Moreland Zebras 2019; Langwarrin 2020, 2021.

While 10 local teams contest the Wallace Cup there will be a noticeable absentee.

For the first time in the event’s history Seaford United will not compete but is expected to return to an expanded tournament next year.

Uncertainty over Seaford’s participation and the problem of having an uneven number of teams with a bye in the fixtures led to its exclusion.

“It’s unfortunate but we’re hopeful

that won’t be an issue next year,” Wallace said.

“We’d like to increase the number of teams by two so we can incorporate everyone and not have anyone miss out.”

In NPL2 news Langwarrin has added two new midfielders to its senior squad in Kyoungjin (Jin) Jeong from Northcote, and Carlos Abboud from Dandenong City.

Jeong, 26, is a former Hoppers Crossing player and made 21 appearances for Northcote last season while Abboud, 19, made three senior appearances last season.

“Jin can play in numerous positions and when it became apparent that he was available we moved straight away,” head coach Scott Miller said.

“Carlos is a really talented young player, he believes in himself and he has big ambitions.

“He reached out to me in the offseason and I invited him down to trial and we liked what we saw.”

Langy’s pre-season schedule started

Sudoku and crossword solutions

in upbeat fashion when it drew 1-1 with NPL giant Oakleigh Cannons at Lawton Park on Friday night.

The home side led after Brad Blumenthal crossed to Tom Youngs whose first-time shot was diverted into goal by Archie McPhee.

Oakleigh equalised late in the contest.

“It was a positive night, our first game and good to see everyone enjoying themselves and getting the reward for a long pre-season with a result against a good opponent,” Miller said.

Langwarrin is back in action at its home ground tonight (Tuesday 17 January) when the seniors and under-21s take on Dandenong Thunder with both games starting at 7.30pm.

In State 2 news Frankston Pines will name its new reserves coach next week and is conducting interviews this week for a senior assistant coach.

Pines have scheduled a handful of pre-season games with more likely to be arranged. The current schedule is: Saturday 21 January: Wallace Cup,

Lawton Park; Saturday 28 January: v Casey Comets, Monterey Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Saturday 11 February: v Dandenong South, Monterey Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Saturday 18 February: v Richmond, Monterey Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Saturday 25 February: v Elwood, Monterey Reserve, 10.30am (seniors only); Saturday 11 March: v St Kilda, Monterey Reserve, 1pm & 3pm.

In State 4 news Somerville Eagles lost 3-1 away to Plenty Valley Lions on Saturday in heatwave conditions.

The match was played over four quarters and Somerville head coach Adam Steele used a mixture of seniors and reserves.

Somerville’s goal came from a Marcus Anastasiou shot which was deflected allowing Nick Simmons to poke the ball home.

In State 5 news Seaford was buoyed by the turnout at training last week as its preparations for re-entering State League ramp up.

“The numbers were good with ap-

proximately 30 on both nights and some players still to return from holidays or from injuries,” head coach Paul Williams said.

On Saturday Seaford will host Boronia at North Seaford Reserve at 12 noon and 2pm.

Aspendale Stingrays’ first pre-season game also takes place on Saturday against Lyndale United at Lyndale Secondary College at 1pm and 3pm.

Another State 5 outfit, Mount Eliza, started its pre-season schedule in style with a 7-3 win over Lilydale Montrose United at North Seaford Reserve on Friday night.

Mount Eliza’s star recruit Amir Osmancevic had a 25-minute cameo and scored a hat-trick in just 15 minutes with Pat Briggs (2), Lachie Mitchell and Ewan Barford also getting on the scoresheet for the local side.

“It was a good team performance and we showed signs of what we’ve been working on at training in terms of our structure and patterns of play which was pleasing,” Mount Eliza head coach Bryce Ruthven said.

“I was pleasantly surprised with our conditioning coming off the Christmas break, and our football improved as the match went on which you don’t often see in January.

“Goalkeeper Sam Green was great and showed why I brought him to the club.

“He is already showing some great leadership qualities and Amir had a good start to life in a Mount Eliza kit linking up well with Lachie and Pat.”

Don’t be surprised if Ruthven lures legendary scorer David Greening to Mount Eliza from current club Baxter.

Greening has close ties with the Mount Eliza coaching staff and Ruthven and assistant Stan Packer have already discussed the possible switch with him.
