Dealership hit in smash-and-grab TWO men used a concrete block to smash their way into the Mercedes-Benz car dealership at Mornington, 5.45am, Thursday 15 February. The men, wearing dark-coloured hoodies and carrying backpacks, were captured on CCTV throwing the block through a window at the Mornington-Tyabb Road premises and forcing open a door. Dealer Chris Thoday said the men then ransacked the showroom, smashing open glass cabinets with hammers and stealing $5000 worth of Mercedes watches, t-shirts, aftershave, perfume, caps, keyrings and laptops. “There’s glass everywhere,” Mr Thoday said. “The boulder is still on the floor.” Mr Thoday said the men looked familiar. “We had an incident a couple of weeks ago when a man stole a laptop and it may be him.” Stephen Taylor
Expert called in over CEO’s job Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors are hiring a consultant to help review the performance and pay of CEO Carl Cowie. The “suitably qualified and experienced consultant” is scheduled to start work on 1 April, a Sunday eight weeks before councillors decide whether to

advertise the position or renew and renegotiate Mr Cowie’s contract. The contract for shire’s top job which comes with a salary package of more than $400,000 and a $30,000 study allowance – expires in November and Mr Cowie has to be told six months’ ahead if councillors intend to advertise the position. The shire’s advertisement says the consultant chosen for the CEO review would work with council on “fulfilling
its statutory responsibilities outlined in the Local Government Act 1989, concerning chief executive officer (CEO) employment matters”. The ad is being run under the heading “CEO performance review, remuneration and appointment processes”. While no consultant’s fees are mentioned in the advertisement, in the four years before October 2016 council paid former Kingston mayor Topsy Petchey $70,600 for advice to councillors and

Phone cut chops into business Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A MORNINGTON hairdresser of more than 30 years fears troubles with her NBN connection could jeopardise her business. Nonie Harvey, of Hair on Barkly, said her landline had been disconnected since 10 January after problems with her NBN connection. Repeated calls to service provider Optus always include what she termed “the usual run-around” as she is passed around departments – with no result. “It has now been five weeks since I was supposed to have the all-fabulous, fast, and very affordable NBN system installed into my business,” Ms Harvey said. But, so far, all she has received is frustration. “Who is at fault here?” asked Ms Harvey, an OPTUS customer for more than 20 years. “When I call them the support menu says, ‘Press 2 for business help with your NBN set-up’,” she said. “I then jump on the mouse wheel, while being on hold sometimes for 20 minutes or more, only to be told I have to speak to yet another person. So I stay on hold again. On and on it goes until I get transferred to another person who asks me the same questions. “After 75 minutes and seven different people, eventually I am told it is an NBN issue and I am put on hold again. The next chap then instructs me on how to install the modem over the phone – a procedure I have followed
more than 15 times. “Then that person makes an appointment for the NBN technician to come to my business and do the install set-up. This is the third time they have made such an appointment. And guess what? No-one came. “We now have three modems, and the guys yesterday said our phone is the problem. It’s not our phone.” Ms Harvey said she noticed a “huge change in our business traffic” as callers are told her number has been disconnected. “Our old and loyal clients have, thankfully, made an effort to find out why and come in to see us,” she said. “But we have spent a lot of money on advertising [listing the landline number] and for potential new customers to hear that message it is devastating.” Ms Harvey put a public notice in The News earlier this month to make customers aware she is open for business. “The phone is the lifeline of a hairdressing salon,” she said. NBN spokesperson Russell Kelly said the company “apologises for the interruption and is working hard to restore service”. “We have been working with the retailer to get the business reconnected as soon as possible,” he said. “Initially a fault was found in the wiring in the street and this was repaired. “A new appointment is now being arranged for an NBN technician to attend the site to conduct further tests and restore the service.”

All aboard as ferry gets terminal nod Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au SEAROAD Ferries last week got the go ahead build a new terminal at Sorrento. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council on Tuesday 13 February approved the works following public exhibition of the plans and review by an independent panel. The decision followed a planning services committee meeting the previous week which adopted the Sorrento Ferry Terminal Planning Scheme Amendment C209 which will guide the works. Extra conditions cover road upgrades and traffic infrastructure upgrades by VicRoads. The terminal will include a maritime museum, café and lounge, toilets and small shops for souvenirs and ticketing. Searoad Ferries CEO Matt McDonald said the company had run a series of community information sessions. He said the works would improve infrastructure along the Esplanade and Sorrento foreshore and lead to better connections with public transport. “We are also determined to improve
safety and pedestrian access to the pier, including access for older people and people with disabilities that affect mobility,” he said. Mr McDonald sees the terminal as a “significant economic driver for the region”. “[The] route from Queenscliff to Sorrento carries more than 850,000 people and 200,000 cars each year, making it the busiest passenger ferry service in Australia,” he said. “We must provide tourists and locals who use the service with high quality, safe and accessible facilities.” He said terminal improvements were also planned for the western side of the ferry route, with a proposal being considered by the Borough of Queenscliffe. “The total project will provide an economic boost for the Mornington and Bellarine peninsulas generating 155 direct and 50 indirect jobs during the construction phase,” Mr McDonald said. “Independent modelling estimates that from 2015-30, the upgrades would create a total economic impact of $210.8 million. This is enough to support 1097 jobs.”

Rough riders: Mountain bike riders are preparing for the Rookie 30 event at this year’s Otway Odyssey, Saturday 24 February. Picture: Supplied
On track for hilly thrills THE Rookie 30 event at this year’s Otway Odyssey, Saturday 24 February, will be a challenge for 15 mountain bike riders from the Mornington Peninsula. The Peninsula Bike Skills riders, aged 10-13, have been training around Red Hill to prepare for the event over 30 kilometres of mountain bike trails around Forrest, in south-west Victoria. Their instructor Neil Prosser teaches mountain bike riding skills to riders of all levels at Red Hill and Lysterfield. His Dirt Riders school holiday program has been expanded to run all year. Riders, aged 1013, are encouraged to get out and enjoy the trails, as well as develop techniques to allow them to ride confidently and safely on off-road trails. About 70 children have passed through the course in the past 18 months, he said. Details: peninsulabikeskills.com.au
WHILE it remains off the agenda before, during and after council meetings, alcohol can again be served at special events held by Mornington Peninsula Shire. The mayor, Cr Bryan Payne has been given the power to authorise the serving of alcohol on council premises at occasions like the annual council meeting (when new mayors are elected) and the councillors’ Christmas party. “No alcohol is to be provided before, during or after council meetings or briefings on council premises,” an amendment to the Councillor Expenses Reimbursement, Resources and Facilities Policy adopted by council on 12 December 2017 states. “Alcohol may be provided at special council events such as the annual council meeting and the councillor Christmas party even when such events are held on council premises. The mayor may approve alcohol to be provided at special council events, following consultation with councillors.” The amendment partially reverses a decision made to ban alcohol the previous August when it was revealed ratepayers had spent $27,000 filling liquor cabinets over four years of the previous council term. In February last year Cr Hugh Fraser failed to get backing for his move to reintroduce alcoholic drinks for councillors after meetings. “I do like my glass of champagne every now and again but I’m happy to wait until after council meetings or in a social context to actually go out there and purchase my own,” Cr Antonella Celi said at the time. “This money that we save on alcohol we can actually divert to other meaningful community projects.” While the mayor can now authorise alcohol being available at some council events there is no specific allocation in the current budget.

Burglars have eye for detail Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au DROMANA and District Historical Society members are reeling from the overnight breakin at the Dromana Old Shire Offices in which a range of historic items, as well as photographs, were stolen by burglars who “seemed to know what they were looking for”. Secretary Janet Egglestone said the offenders broke into cabinets and stole 36 selected items and cut pictures from their frames, possibly so they could be rolled up for carrying, Wednesday 7 February, (“Vandals hit historic offices” The News, 13/2/18). Society members are “frustrated” by the lack of CCTV in the Mornington Peninsula Shiremanaged buildings, saying it would have been helpful in identifying the culprits. Detective Sergeant Jason Hocking, of Somerville CIU, said the thieves appeared to have broken in through a rear toilet window. He said forensic police were processing a fingerprint found on one of the glass cabinets. “The investigation is ongoing and we would hope the public can assist, especially if they are offered historic items that may have come from the break-in,” Detective Hocking said. The historical society has about 5000 catalogued items and its volunteers aim to preserve the historical interests of Dromana, Red Hill, Rosebud, McCrae, Main Ridge, Boneo and Red Hill South. “There must have been more than one offender and we get the feeling they knew what they wanted,” Ms Egglestone said, adding that CCTV would have allowed the police to trawl back through recent visitors in the search for suspects. “They must have been in here for a few hours and they picked the eyes out of the collections, taking only the most valuable items.” Ms Egglestone said valuable items taken included a plate and saucer from the Paddle SteamDECKING T/Pine 70x22 KD ACQ ........................... $2.40mt T/Pine 90x22 KD ACQ ........................... $3.05mt T/Pine 140x22 KD ACQ ......................... $5.95mt Merbau 70x19 Random ........................ $4.40mt Merbau 90x19 Random ........................ $5.25mt Merbau 140x22 Random .................... $12.50mt

Other items of value are World War I medals from the Military Cabinet, a pair of 1930s silver plated spoons from the McLear Family Cabinet, and a large framed map of the township of the Dromana Parish of Kangerong, taken from the foyer, which is thought to be an original. “It’s hard to put an actual value on the missing
items, but we will have to for the insurer,” Ms Egglestone said. Volunteers will now set about redesigning their displays with what items of interest they have left and fit their rooms with security cameras. The offices also house the Rotary Club of Dromana, Port Phillip 4WD Club, U3A Southern Peninsula, Dromana Potters Group and Country Women’s Association.

Artistic topics A WIDE range of topics will be covered by Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society, Mornington Peninsula members this year. These include A New Black Identity: The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, The Mistress of Romance meets the Master of Suspense: Daphne du Maurier and Alfred Hitchcock and Rembrandt’s Vision: Dutch History Painting in the 17th Century. At the society’s first meeting of the year on Friday 23 February members will hear international expert on medieval manuscripts Dr Christopher de Hamel as he conducts an illustrated tour of the oldest books in Australasia, explaining how they arrived here, why they matter and how to read and understand them. Dr Hamel, who has doctorates from Oxford and Cambridge, will discuss his discovery of the Rothschild prayer book in the Stokes Collection in Western Australia – a tale that involves the 19th century history of collecting medieval art and 21st century’s connoisseurship and scholarship. Club chairman Peter McGinley said ADFAS welcomed new members to learn more about the arts in a friendly, welcoming environment. Lectures are held at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Road, Mornington, 5.30pm on nominated Friday evenings. The hour-long illustrated sessions are followed by light refreshments and an opportunity to meet the lecturer and fellow members. Those interested should call secretary Glad Hungerford 9787 2092 who will reserve a seat for first-time visitors at no cost. Group excursions are also a feature, such as the visit to the Van Gogh exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria in May. There’s also an opportunity to join other members from across Australia on small group tours designed around special interests. Each year ADFAS Travel arranges tours to Europe, United Kingdom, Asia, America and within Australia. Details: call Lorraine Borthwick 0419 789 280.

Audit traces marine life

AN audit of marine life under Rye pier on Saturday 10 February aimed at charting the area’s sea life in a scientific format. Marine biologist Fam Charko and 12 regular Rye divers spent about two hours conducting what they believe is the first audit of species around the reefs and pier. Those marine animals found will be identified and catalogued and used as baseline data. More audits are planned, including a night dive as more species come out at night. The audit aims to help protect the myriad plants, animals and fish threatened by dredging works or the building of the jetty near the boat ramp. Seahorses, sea cucumbers, banjo sharks and rays live in what’s described by enthusiasts as a “marine wonderland that most people don’t even know about”. Recent works on pier pylons by Parks Victoria are believed to have adversely impacted on the seahorse population at Rye. Members of the diving community are concerned at the effect of the works, particularly on juvenile seahorses. One was found dead on the pier. Rye Community Group Alliance’s Mechelle Cheers said they hoped the ‘citizen-science project’ would lead to the pier area becoming a mini-marine sanctuary. “It could be enjoyed by all – including the diverse range of creatures living there,” she said. “Rye pier is a very popular dive spot: not just with locals but a significant number of international tourists who come to Rye to dive.” Ms Charko interviewed Ms Cheers on her 3CR radio program ‘Out of the Blue’ on Sunday 4 February. “We feel the focus for Port Phillip Bay is often above the water, or on what can be taken home for food,” Ms Cheers said. “The marine environment underwater is often ‘out of sight, out of mind’ so people don’t appreciate and embrace our unique marine treasures.” Ms Cheers said it was “upsetting to discover that during the week the big old Maori octopus, nicknamed Voldemort by beachgoers, had been killed by a pier fisherman.

Rangers impose rules at small beach Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire rangers have their sights well and truly set on stopping dogs and their owners using a small beach at Mt Martha. The strip of sand less than 100 paces long has been visited by rangers 43 times since October. The shire’s environment protection manager John Rankine says the rangers patrolling the beach at Mt Martha North have been responding to 13 complaints “mostly relating to dogs in prohibited areas”. “Complaints relate to people having dogs in a prohibited area or dogs off lead when they should be on lead,” he said. Mr Rankine says the beach “was never a designated a leash free beach”, although photographs taken in 2012 and 2013 clearly show a sign stating “Leash-free area”. The sign and nearby access steps – between Augusta and Helena streets - were both swept away in the storms that damaged beach boxes. The small beach is squeezed between a section of beach that is officially closed because of erosion, although people are regularly working on repairing beach boxes, walking and swimming within the "beach closed" signs. Some storm-damaged beach boxes were last year ordered to be demolished by the shire and the state government has approved spending of $880,000 on protecting the cliffs from erosion while the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning
Misleading signs: Despite a sign declaring it a leash-free area, Mornington Peninsula Shire says this beach at Mt Martha North has never been a leash-free area for dogs. A sign on the access track says dogs are allowed on the beach before 9am and after 7pm during daylight saving, but a sign put up by rangers a couple of weeks ago said dogs were prohibited.
investigates other “engineering solutions” to save the cliffs and beach. Mr Rankine said no fines had been issued to dog owners or anyone seen within the “beach closed” signs. “The public is asked to avoid the area due to storm damage; beach access is closed until further notice. This does not affect residents using Hawkers Beach as a leash-free area,” Mr Rankine stated.
However, the track leading to Hawker Beach, which begins at the northern tip of Mt Martha Beach North, has one sign stating restrictions on dogs during daylight saving times and another pointing with an arrow to “leash-free area”. Once at the beach there is no indication where the leash-free area begins or ends. The "Where to exercise your dog" downloadable brochure on the shire's

website lists Hawker Beach, Mt Martha as being "Leash-free, all the time, all year". It does not describe the extent of the beach. Three weeks ago rangers erected a “dogs prohibited” sign at the top of the access stairs to the small Mt Martha North Beach. Half hidden behind that sign was another saying dogs were allowed before 9am and after 7pm. “Council chooses to adopt Leash

Free areas as well as Prohibited Areas under Section 26(2) of the Domestic Animals Act 1994,” Mr Rankine said. “To declare a beach to be leash free it needs to go to Council for adoption and it would require community consultation.” At the request of The News the shire is “compiling” statistics to see how many other peninsula beaches have been visited more than 40 times by rangers since October last year.

MORNINGTON Yacht Club played host to about 130 yachts, mostly sailed by children, in a huge weekend of events on Mornington harbour, Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 February. As well as the traditional Schnapper Point Regatta, the club hosted the first Victorian Junior Carnival – a fun event for children graduating from their learn-to-sail programs. The young sailors enjoyed a sail down the coast to Mills Beach, starting off under the “Bridge of Doom”, then more games in the
shallows off Mother’s beach. At the same time, the older children, joined by other sailors with disabilities, competed in the regatta. The boats raced in windy conditions on both days. Sailing and general committee member Andrew Weber said the regatta was well regarded for its race management. “This year it was a bit more relaxed with famous faces on the buoys, music, and treats for the children between the more serious racing events.”
There’s no questioning the facts. Bushfires can start quickly and threaten lives within minutes. When it comes to fire, what you need to do is black and white. Check Fire Danger Ratings in your district daily, and monitor conditions. Most bushfire deaths happen close to home, so on high-risk fire days, leaving early, before a fire starts, is always the safest option.

Let the joy of kite flying begin! REMEMBER the joy of flying your first kite? The anticipation as it lifted into the air? The spark of magic as you discovered you could actually play with the wind? Well, you can experience it all again at one of Australia’s premier kite events: The Rosebud Kite Festival. On Sunday 11th March, both the young and the young at heart will come together to celebrate the art of kite flying. Visitors can make and fly their own kite courtesy of local outfit; Kites 4 Kids.

Cafe admits to underpaying staff A CAFE at Benton Square shopping centre has been fined almost $10,000 after a Fair Work Ombudsman’s audit found junior staff had been underpaid. Degani Bakery Cafe has agreed to back-pay staff $9375, apologise to them, and display notices at the cafe detailing the breaches on its website. The underpayments came to light during a selfinitiated compliance audit of 14 Degani Australia franchised cafes. The Ombudsman found that 15
staff, including waiters, cooks and four juniors at the Mornington cafe, had been underpaid from September to November, 2016. The audit found the company paid $18-$21 hourly rates to its casual staff which did not meet casual loadings and penalty rates to which they were entitled under industry awards. One staff member was underpaid $1318 at a flat hourly rate of $20, despite being entitled to base rates, including casual loading, of $23.64, weekend rates of up to $28.37 and public holiday rates of up to
$47.28 at the time. Other issues included not providing meal breaks for employees who worked more than five hours, not rostering on part-time employees for at least three consecutive hours and not paying annual leave loading. The cafe was said to have fully co-operated with Fair Work inspectors, agreeing to back-pay workers in full and to overhaul its business practices under the terms of an Enforceable Undertaking entered into with the Fair Work Ombudsman.

Home safe: Pensioner Larry has found a place to live in return for helping out his landlord. Picture: Yanni

A PENSIONER’S fears that he could be evicted from his fourth rental property in as many years struck a chord with readers – and it seems help is at hand. Larry (surname withheld) said he feared becoming homeless if the new owners of his Hastings unit decided to renovate or move in themselves – or perhaps re-let it at a higher rental. Either way he would be forced to look for a new home – with the few available being offered at rents he could not afford (“Pensioner feels the brunt in house hunt” The News, 6/2/2018). A reader has now come to the rescue offering Larry a self-contained unit or bungalow on 12 hectares at Pearcedale. Larry has accepted and will take over yard duties, such as lawn mowing and looking after the animals. “It’s a two-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette and is ideal,” Larry said. “The owners are away a lot and need someone to look after the place and keep it looking lived-in.” Larry’s new landlord said he would make an ideal tenant. “We went through everything and he was rapt,” said the owner, who asked not to be named. The Salvation Army was also helpful, adding
Larry’s name to a Department of Housing list for those seeking independent living quarters. Larry, 70, says his age means he will be moved higher on the list, which will also suit his new landlord’s family situation later on. Also interested in Larry’s plight was the Council to Homeless Persons, which says the state government should finance social housing projects through stamp duty revenues. “The number of people being evicted into homelessness has more than doubled over five years as rents rise,” CEO Jenny Smith said. Figures from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare show that, last financial year, 43,751 people presented at Victorian homelessness services due to eviction, she said. The Council to Homeless Persons says the increase from 17,930 just five years ago, is due to rising rents. Ms Smith said homelessness was also being driven by population growth, federal government housing taxation settings, and an absence of a national affordable housing plan. “Australia increasingly views housing as a commodity rather than the shelter we all need.” Stephen Taylor
Continued from Page 1 Meanwhile, the consultant being sought by councillors will help with: n Annual performance reviews of [the] CEO, including assisting … with recommendations to council as a result of performance reviews. n Review of remuneration and conditions of employment of the CEO. n The process relating to the appointment of CEO. The advertisement describes the consultant’s role as: “The successful consultant will work in close collaboration with the ‘committee of the whole’, CEO and relevant shire officers, and will be required to attend meetings at the shire’s Rosebud office. The service will commence 1 April 2018 and will not require the consultant to work full time; the time required will vary over the term of engagement subject to the requirements of council’s committee.” As well as making the gifts register publicly available councillors have also called for a review of the “definitions” of words used in the Gifts, Benefits and Hospitality Policy, an “internal document” that is also now publicly available. A review of the policy by councillors and council officers is designed “to ensure that any ambiguity is addressed in a clear and meaningful manner,” Mr Cowie stated in a news release following last week’s decision by councillors. Benefit, as defined in the current policy is defined in part as “something which is believed to be of benefit to the receiver” and can include accommodation and recreation trips. A news release from the shire said making the gifts policy and register public would “ensure the organisation meets public expectations around transparency and the disclosure of gifts”.

Down to earth with royalty of the air By Michael Leeworthy IT was a once in a life time encounter: a face to face meeting with a wedge-tailed eagle on a bushwalk in the Arthurs Seat State Park that left me gob smacked. Sighting dolphins while walking along the beach is becoming commonplace. Many times I have been surprised by up to five, appearing from under my kayak out on Port Phillip. I have been on the bay’s waters most of my life and don’t believe I’ve ever sighted so many dolphins as in recent times. On 10 June, a humpback whale and her calf were spotted in the bay were said to be a first in recorded history. Since scallop dredging ceased on 8 August 2005, the bay has shown obvious signs of rejuvenation. Who knows what the long-term effects of channel dredging will be? In the hinterland and other areas of the Mornington Peninsula, eastern grey kangaroos, swamp Wallabies, echidnas, koalas, snakes, lizards, goannas, blue tongues, cockatoos, galahs, rosellas, powerful owls and all kinds of sea birds are there for the keen observer. Any self-respecting bushwalker, birdwatcher, or natural historian knows not to disturb or interrupt native animal or bird habitat. This message should be conveyed more widely. On the peninsula and elsewhere in Australia, animal and bird life has been reduced in huge numbers with land clearing for agriculture.
Eyeing the eagle: Artist Michael Leeworthy’s awe of eagles increased when he “stumbled across one at close range”.
Eagle facts
Since the peninsula has been divided into small parcels it is obvious that those plots are mostly no longer viable for agricultural profit. Replanting pasture areas and wetlands with indigenous trees would benefit wild life greatly. Rehabilitation is essential to maintain a balance with human intervention and the depletion of animal and bird life. But the odds of encounter with a wedge-tailed eagle with an almost two metre wing span from a distance of eight metres, was my equivalent to being struck by lightning, a lottery win, or at least achieving a hole in one on the golf course. But oh, so much more pleasant. The eagle was on the ground under

a canopy of trees to my left. The magnificent bird would have realised immediately that to achieve flight it had to cross my path in the only open space available. He did this instantly, but the act seemed like slow motion as its powerful legs strode in front of me as, simultaneously, the huge wings began to open and flap, gaining precious ground to retreat from me, the intruder. He stayed at a height of three meters swerving through the eucalypts, until eventually out of sight. I seemed frozen to that spot marvelling, while in disbelief that I had the privilege to witness this amazing creature so intimately. Until recently there was a bounty on their head. The eagle is often accused of killing
WEDGE-TAILED eagles are monogamous. If one partner dies they can mate again. They lay up to three eggs but more often one or two. The first egg is the larger and will be the survivor. The second egg will be destroyed if there is a shortage of food in its territory. Nests are usually built in the highest tree, but can be in shrubs or a cliff face where trees are absent. Nest can be 1.8 metres across; 3 metres deep and weigh up to 400 kilograms. They are made of dead sticks and lined with fresh twigs and leaves. Strange, but if sticks fall from the nest they are never reused. There can be a huge pile of fallen sticks at the base of the tree. Eagles are territorial and active nests are usually about 2.5km apart but can be as close as one kilometre depending on the availability of food. Eagles feed on live prey and carrion. They will eat what is available: lizards, birds and mammals, but mostly rabbits.
lambs. Yes, it is more than capable as many eye witness accounts tell of eagles feeding off dead lambs. There is no proof that they were actually responsible for the killing, as many lambs are taken by dogs, foxes even large feral cats. One can only imagine how the peninsula teemed with wildlife before settlement. It is essential that we reclaim as much land as possible for wildlife. I have often lain on my back in the grass staring upward observing eagles –jumbo jets of the bird world, sometimes just a dot hovering at heights of up to 2000 metres. I know that when I next sight a wedge-tailed Eagle, I will remember my first close-upn meeting with this majestic creature.

MAIN STREET DEMAND DRIVES INVESTOR GROWTH
ONCE IN A GENERATION CHANCE
SOLID demand for retail shops along the main street of Mornington continues to provide strong returns for investors. 108 Main Street was recently leased to a skincare specialist for $81,000 per year on a three year term, with two further three year options. “The 82 square metre shop was leased at a rate of about $988 per square metre with minimal incentive.” Tanya Scagliarini of Nichols Crowder explains. “This is a great indicator towards the continual strength and attraction of Main Street Mornington. We are also seeing a desire from local and national tenants to have a presence here in Mornington, which all adds to the popularity and appeal of the region."n
OFFERED for sale for the first time in 30 years, the well-known Houghtons Fine Foods enjoys a prime corner location with affordable rent and demonstrates excellent turnover with loyal clientele seeking hard to find gournet lines and produce. This niche business is easily run with absolutely no coffee sales, no seating and no takeaway. An enticing new lease will be offered to successful purchaser.n

The Pillars are there to be enjoyed by all I am a Mornington resident of five years and have lived locally all of my life. I recently read an article about a popular beach spot on the Mornington Peninsula known as The Pillars (“Public to meet over The Pillars” The News 30/1/18). As yet, I fail to see that there is any issue of concern here that differs from any other beach spot anywhere. Certainly there is a safety concern with jumping off rocks, but this hardly differs from people jumping off piers, perhaps it’s the height? And yes, there has been a parking concern but this appears to have been solved by the many No Standing signs and placement of posts along the roadside. Thanks to the wonderful article I now know exactly where The Pillars is and will be taking my fiance and children to visit this beautiful spot. Like so many people we love the beach and I don’t mind a good walk. It seems to me that the local residents are simply peeved and put out that so many people are visiting their once secluded area of Mt Martha. Bloody precious it seems to me. If this area was a sandy beach rather than rocks to jump off there would not even be a article about this as the police and Mornington Peninsula Shire would be dealing with any antisocial behaviour. Hilariously, I recently read where a Mt Martha resident was blaming the infestation of her property by rats on the people visiting The Pillars. Perhaps the council could place more rubbish bins in this area to encourage people to place their waste in these or even signs to encourage them to leave the area cleaner than they found it. This works elsewhere. Over the past couple of years I have read perhaps a dozen articles about The Pillars and, in my opinion, there is no issue here other than an increased number of people to a once quiet area of the bay. Geoff Trowsdale, Mornington
Mobile defender I have not used a mobile phone while driving for the past few years because of the police regulation that came in some time ago. But I fail to understand why this regulation came in to be law, with motorists fined if caught using a mobile phone while driving. In comparison to other classifications that cause accidents, injury, and death, I have yet to see the statistics that qualify such a regulation. If there are no statistics to compare with other forms of accident causes, injury and death, why is it compulsory to not use a mobile phone while driving? Police refer to other devices should not be attended to while driving, but what are those devices? If it is illegal to use a mobile phone while driving, what about taxi, truck and emergency drivers with their mobiles and other communication devices such as RTs. I have been a professional driver and used RTs and mobiles, without looking likely to have an accident once. What about a motorist coming upon an accident where time would be essential for survival, does this mean the driver has to find somewhere to park legally and then use their mobile? Why is the mobile phone blamed by police when other classifications have their various statistics and do not appear to have any such regulation? If this is so, then police are wasting so much time on preventing and prosecuting for the use of mobiles when they should be trying to reduce the road death toll through other misdemeanours. Tim Bassett, Frankston
Temporary move The Mount Martha Coastal Processes Investigation and Future Management Recommendations Report undertaken by Water Technology Pty Ltd in 2017 on behalf of the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning made eight specific recommendations towards managing the erosion of the cliff face and the erosion of the beach face. The study reinforced the veracity of management options previously identified for the cliff

Mornington News
20 February 2018
and beach at Mt Martha North, namely: for the cliff - reinforcement and protection of the toe; and for the beach - renourishment, groyne and offshore reef/breakwater. Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio’s announcement of Tuesday 19 December 2017 arising from the report addresses both these matters. It refers to reinforcing and extending the existing rock revetment to stabilise the cliff and it refers to conducting an analysis of management options for the beach to identify the preferred means of retaining sand. Contrary to the opinion expressed in the article “Call for beach boxes to go” (The News 14/2/18) the report recommends the removal of beach boxes only in the event that they are in the way of revetment construction (in which case their removal could be as a permanent or temporary measure) or should none of the beach erosion management options be adopted. The priorities for our beach have been and remain, to secure the cliff and re-establish beach amenity. We are encouraged by Ms D’Ambrosio’s commitments in both these respects and will continue to press to have the most suitable management option for the beach finalised and implemented as a matter of urgency.

Plastic is harmful One of your correspondents believes that plastic is good (“Plastic bags can be best for environment” Letters 6/2/18). If that is the case, why is plastic in a very large percentage of our sea salt, in our drinking water, in the swollen gut of dead and dying turtles and seabirds? Nanoparticles are even in our cells. Plastic is everywhere and no one knows exactly what the long term effects are. The short term effects are masses of rubbish - 12.7 million tons of plastic dumped into the sea every year (and increasing); disposable nappies that, once used, are discarded to remain in land fill for 350 years; fishing line has a life expectancy of 400 years. Wherever you look there is plastic; and it doesn’t look good. There is an absolute plague of the rotten stuff and the less it is used so much the better. John Shorter, McCrae
Not the answer Christine Fry argues that biodegradable plastic bags may be good for the environment (“Plastic bags can be best for environment” Letters 6/2/18). I completely disagree. Australians use five billion plastic bags annually for an average of 12 minutes each, which then end up in landfill or as litter. Plastic bags are a huge problem for our environment, biodegradable or not. On the surface, biodegradable plastic may seem like the solution to the globe’s plastic crisis. In reality, biodegradable plastic has some serious limitations. Biodegradable plastic requires very specific conditions to break down, which are often not present in nature. For example, if a biodegradable plastic bag ends up in the ocean, the temperature is not hot enough for it to breakdown, therefore it poses just as serious a threat to marine life as a standard plastic bag. Also, some plastic bags marketed as environmentally friendly are only degradable, which means they break down into smaller pieces of plastic, which are still harmful to wildlife. Christine denounced the use of cotton bags due to the resources required to produce them. This is a fair point, however if cotton bags are reused many times it outweighs their production cost. Or better still, try Boomerang Bags, a community initiative active on the Mornington Peninsula that creates and distributes reusable shopping bags made from recycled fabric. As beach lovers living on the beautiful peninsula, it is alarming to know that if our plastic use continues the way it is, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. Biodegradable or not, we all need to stop using

Save gatehouse The historic gatehouse at the entrance to 1225 Nepean Highway, Mt Eliza is falling into disrepair, which is a great shame. I would hope that the privileged few who through wealth are in a position to purchase these magnificent properties would take an interest in the heritage relating to buildings and land and preserve them for future generations. This building, being on the highway, is visible to all and if restored to its original condition would become an added attraction to Mt Eliza. plastic so thoughtlessly. Are plastic bags and other single use plastics really necessary or just convenient? Mikaela Foy, Mt Martha
Affordable retirement Do the group of people opposing a retirement village in Roberts Rd, Mornington think they own the place (“Bid to rein in retirement village plan” The News 13/2/18). Aged retirement centres already in Mornington are too expensive for hard working retirees like myself and my husband. Having worked in Melbourne for the last nine and a half years of my working life and retired at 65 years and a half mainly because my hip needed replacing, everything I earned went on our home in Mornington . I don’t want to give it away on a $690,000 retirement place and have nothing left. There must be other people in Mornington like us. Name and address supplied, Mornington
US-style democracy Reading John Cain’s letter on a fair and transparent consultation on the [Rosebud aquatic centre] made me think just how transparent and consultative councils are in the United States (“Take poll on pool” Letters 13/2/18). In the US this project, and all other major infrastructure projects, would have to be approved by the voters (ratepayers). The council could not move forward without a positive vote. This approval would be approval to issue municipal bonds to finance the project. What this means is that a council must have its poo-poo together in order to present the project to the public for approval. The public knows exactly what the project is and what the costs are going to be. Then the pro and anti forces go to work to present their cases to the voters. You might think that this type of project would not get approved, but you would be wrong. Most people are intelligent enough to digest the issues and decide on their own, and it is not always about the cost. US councils are much more transparent and democratic (they have to be) but I am sure that If they could just do as they wished and raise rates or borrow money to pay for it they would, just like here. No, forget it, do not even think it. I am not going back. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
Pooling thoughts Faulty Towers: Don’t mention the pool? I’m with John Cain (“Take poll on pool” Letters 13/2/18), did my survey online; a 25 metre pool in Besgrove Street, Rosebud a toddlers, half a dozen tables and umbrellas, shelter, heated in winter and a bus service thereto. Two other options: a 50 metre pool, two 50 metre pools with health, fitness and wellbeing facilities? For what? Kiddies swimming lessons? We have (probably) the world’s safest beach at out fin-
A gift of the building and small parcel of land on which it stands to Mornington Peninsula Shire and the National Trust so that it can be preserved would be one way of doing so, if the owner is not interested in restoring the building. If the gatehouse is allowed to continue to crumble it will become a target for vandals. However, once restored with signs of life, a security system and proper fencing with a plaque outlining its historic value to the area it will become a much loved icon. Beverley Treloar, Mt Martha gertips, easily learning to swim in shallow safe waters beginning (by nature) with the dog paddle and pretending to mums we are swimming? Maybe for the protection of kiddies who worry about crabs, jellyfish, councillors and over protective mothers? Do it, don’t do it, but decide now, or soon, and forever hold your peace. While I’m here, we letters writers respectively request Nepean MP Martin Dixon and Hastings MP Neale Burgess refrain from using the letters pages for free advertising. Cliff Ellen, Rye
Disturbed view It was a lovely view, a sandy path, shaded by native trees, a stretch of white sand and blue sea. Now overwhelming the view is an ugly sign put up by the foreshore committee. Isn’t it the committee’s role to preserve the beauty of our foreshore? And our rates pay for this vandalism. Rhonda Day, Rye
Clean up poo I and many others daily walk the cliff top path between Bentons Road and Fishermans Beach, Mornington. It is a very pleasant experience. However, recently I have noticed that each side of the pathway has been soiled by piles of dog poo. How hard is it to carry a plastic bag? C’mon people, they are your dogs and your problem. I hope people will stop being selfish and start cleaning up after their dogs and disposing of their dog’s crap responsibly. Anne Robinson, Mornington
Helping hands On Monday 12 February my wife was in Mt Eliza Post Office completing hand written international postage forms. Due to injury from a car accident my wife finds it very hard to write. Spotting the problem, two great female Samaritans stepped in and gave her a hand. Thank you and well done. A note to Australia Post: make your systems and processes inclusive. David White, Mt Eliza
Destroying green wedge After living on the Mornington Peninsula for nearly 60 years, working for better education and care of the natural environment and community values, I and many others who care about the natural environment for the health of future generations are being force away from our once beautiful peninsula home. People from places already environmentally destroyed and over-populated are being allowed to totally destroy the green wedge with complete authority from Mornington Peninsula Shire and the state and federal governments. As long as the money is flying around people can chop and destroy the health of their future generations. Shane W Lewis, Rosebud
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Lift accident results in death Compiled by Brodie Cowburn A DISTRESSING fatality occurred in Melbourne on Thursday last when a lad named Arthur Albert Verney 14 years, son of Mr and Mrs Verney of Frankston was killed. Shortly after 4 p.m. a salesman employed at Shanks and Co’s warehouse, 351 Flinders Lane, noticed that the goods lift was some distance below the ground floor. Closer inspection revealed that a boy had been crushed between the lift and the wall. Constable Froher was called and the boy was extricated and taken to the Melbourne Hospital. On arrival there he was found to be dead. The lift in which the fatality occurred opens out on to Bond St. and has an automatic door which closes immediately the lift ascends. It is thought that the lad, who had been employed as a messenger for Henry Buck and Co., Swanston St. managed to get into the lift while the door was open. In coming down from another floor he apparently became bewildered when nearing the ground floor and being unable to stop the lift he attempted to jump out with the result that he sustained fatal injuries. Great sympathy is expressed for the parents in their sad bereavement. *** THE sad news was received from the Defence Department on Monday, February 11th, by Mrs Elliot “Bee Farm” Frankston, that her only surviving son, Private Michael Elliot,
had died at the First Auxiliary Hospital, England, on the 7th February. The late Private Michael Elliot enlisted on January 17th 1916, and sailed with the 24th battalion on March 21st 1916. He was on active service from September to December, when he was sent to England suffering from trench feet. He returned to France again on Sept 20th 1917 and was wounded in the head on Oct 16th, 1917. On the 18th January of this year he was reported suffering from pluerisy, and as stated above died on the 7th February, 1918, at the age of 23½ years. The late Private Elliot was the brother of Gunner Matthew Elliot who was killed in France on Feb 27th 1917. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs Elliot and her daughters in their sad loss. *** MR A. G. Wilcox, who recently, returned to Frankston from active service abroad, has been rather seriously indisposed, and is under the care of Dr Atkinson. We trust Mr Wilcox will have a speedy restoration to health. *** MRS Rimmer of the “Plaza” Playne St, Frankston has been ordered by her medical adviser to relinguish business. She has therefore decided to dispose of the business as a going concern and to take a complete rest. ***
AT the childrens’ court at Frankston on Monday last, several youthful offenders were dealt with. Thos Jenson was charged with illegally using a bicycle; a boy named Saunders was charged with stealing postal articles; and, the charge against a boy named Osborne was that he stole a large sum of money from Keast’s store at Frankston, on 18th January last. *** DEATH has removed another very old and respected resident of Pearcedale, in the person of Mr Nathanial Pearce. The late Mr Pearce was, at the time of his death, the last of the original settlers. He took up land here many years ago and with his family, has been in the district ever since. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place on Monday, the Rev A. P. McFarlane officiating at the graveside. *** SEVERAL reports have reached us that men have entered private property and fallen timber for the purpose of obtaining honey. As this is contrary to the law we may inform these honey thieves that a vigilant society exists in the Peninsula to deal with this matter. Becoming bolder, the thieves have actually robbed private hives left in isolated parts. In one case they fell a tree and burnt over 4 tons of firewood before the owner of the week end villa arrived.
When we state the men are in receipt of regular pay from the State it can be realised how mean the creatures are. *** THE Presbyterian Young Men’s Bible Class Union of Victoria, will again Camp this Easter on the Frankston Cricket ground, near the station. The camp starts on March 28th and ends on April 1st. An attendance of about 150 members is expected. Last year the Union arranged a successful concert in the local Mechanics’ Institute, in aid of the Red Cross Funds. This year another concert will be given, the proceed to be for the Repatriation Fund. A good programme will be staged by members of the Union, assisted by leading Melbourne artists. *** A MEETING of the Frankston branch of the National Federation will be held in the hall on Wednesday next, February 20th at 8pm. On the same date a meeting of the Citizens’ League will be held, when it is to be hoped there will be a good attendance. There should be a good attendance of citizens of Frankston at the meeting on Monday evening called for the purpose of discussing ways and means of improving Kananook Creek. The matter is one of importance to all, as the present state of the creek is most unsatisfactory *** IF sufficient inducement offers, the
Peninsula Motor Garage Pty. Ltd. will run a service of motor cars from Mornington, Somerville, Langwarrin and Carrum, in connection with the concert in Frankston on Saturday, March 9th for the Soldiers’ Repatriation Fund. Patrons wishing to attend the concert from the previously mentioned towns, should at once get into touch with Mr Bradbury, the company’s manager. *** THE tennis club intend to win some laurels his year, if practice will accomplish it. The addition of Miss Marsh to the committee will only strengthen it and the lady champion, Miss Nicholls, will have to look to her laurels against a promising young player in Miss Amy Clark, daughter of Mr John Clark, in his day, a good all round athlete. *** A PUBLIC meeting was held in the Tyabb Hall on Tuesday 12th February. Cr. Longmuir was voted to the chair. It was moved that the Red Cross society hold social evenings which would include raffles, lucky bags etc. The Fruitgrowers’ are to be asked for donation of fruit or cash, the fruit to be sold and the proceeds devoted to the funds. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 16 February 1918

The Pirates of Penzance UNDOUBTEDLY the most critically acclaimed and most popular of the Gilbert & Sullivan musicals is The Pirates of Penzance. A true family musical comedy is what lies ahead with the Pirates clashing swords and trading barbs in this modern take. This fast paced and beautifully sung production which tours with a full set and costumes is the complete production…but beware in 2018, it will contain nuts and Donald Trump additives… hilarious!! I am the Pirate King, Policeman’s Lot is not a Happy One, Cat Like Tread and Poor Wandering One are just a few of the hit songs performed in this production. The stellar cast is led by musical theatre star Philip Gould as the swashbuckling Pirate King, veteran comic baritone Brian Hannan as the Major General and the Police Sergeant
, international soprano Alison Jones as Mabel, Opera Australia mezzo soprano Caroline Vercoe as Ruth, Chris Mckenna as Frederic and Dominic Woodhead as the musical director on piano. So say farewell to the Pirates as they sail off into the sunset, but not before providing the whole family with a truly great time in the theatre.

scoreboard Mounties hang on despite draw MORNINGTON NEWS
PROVINCIAL
By IT Gully MT ELIZA maintained its position in the top four in MPCA Provincial Cricket on Saturday despite playing out a dramatic draw against Sorrento. Defending 117 Mt Eliza already had Sorrento on the ropes at the beginning of day two at 2/12. With arguably one of the best bowling attacks in the competition Mt Eliza was always in the box seat to defend such a low score. Sorrento’s Kane Gordon (40) and Liam O’Connor (36) were the only batsmen to offer any assistance. Mt Eliza was bowled out for 117 with more than 15 overs up their sleeve. At one point late in the match Sorrento looked home at 8/115. Nick Baron was the pick of the Mt Eliza bowlers 3/28. Langwarrin retained the Bushman’s Cup after beating Pearcedale by almost 50 runs. Kangas skipper again took the game by the scruff bowling 22.2 overs with a match winning return of 5/72. Coach Jake Prosser was also impressive with ball in hand snaring 4/35. Pearcedale’s Chris Dew was the
only batsman who looked likely to help Pearcedale to the 220 required for victory, however he was dismissed for 67 and that was the end of the ball game. The Panthers were eventually all out for 173. Baxter’s waft of finals cricket is still in the air after it cruised to victory against Mornington. Resuming at 0/8 Baxter required just 123 for victory. Chris Brittain made light work of that getting all of those runs himself, hitting eight boundaries and ten going straight over the rope finishing on 133. Joe Rule scored 40 runs also. Baxter pulled up stumps in the sixty ninth over at 4/213. As predicted Peninsula Old Boys took Crib Point to the cleaners, bowling them out for 137. Defending 212 the Old Boys already had Crib Point 1/6 overnight. Once again it was Old Boy’s skipper Wade Pelzer who stole the show with the ball snaring 6/25. Luke Herrington was the best of the Crib Point batsmen with 44. Shark hunt: Despite this setback, Red Hill made light work of Flinders. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Blues get off the bottom DISTRICT
Ducks pull off outright PENINSULA
By IT Gully MOOROODUC scored a miraculous reverse outright against Main Ridge in MPCA Peninsula Cricket on Saturday. Main Ridge had a wonderful opportunity to all but cement its place in the top two, however blew it despite getting first innings points. Last week after the first day Main Ridge bowled out Moorooduc for 55 before declaring its first innings at 7/141. With 19 overs left in the day the Ridge were able to take 3/64 still leaving the Ducks 40 runs behind. On day two what the Ridge didn’t count on was Madushanka Perera scoring 92 and Kasun Perera helping himself to 89, eventually declaring after 54 overs at 9/236. Needing 152 runs in 60 overs, the Ridge fell 13 runs short, bowled out for 139 in 44 overs. Justin McCleary was the best of the Moorooduc bowlers with 4/46 off 13 overs. A cracking 132 runs from arguably one of the Peninsula’s greatest ever

sportsman, Michael Burke, has helped Long Island to an unlikely victory against Delacombe Park. Chasing 248 for victory Burke was joined at the crease by Pubudu Edirisinghe who helped himself to 65. Helping Long Island to 6/251 in 73 overs. The Parkers used eight bowlers in a desperate attempt to remove Burke, the match winner. As expected Somerville proved far too strong for Pines. Chasing Somerville’s 173 Pines lost 3 wickets in the final seven overs of day one. Resuming day two at 3/20 things never recovered for Pines, bowled out in the fifty second over for 119. Jayde Herrick was the best of the Somerville bowlers with 4/27 while Jay Parker picked up 3/7 from seven overs. Red Hill made light work of Flinders picking up the victory total in the sixty seventh over. Simon Dart finished unbeaten on 85 as did Tim Collette on 51. Red Hill declared at 5/179.

By IT Gully HASTINGS has clawed its way off the bottom off the MPCA District ladder after beating Seaford Tigers outright on Saturday. Rosebud now looks after the unenviable position of bottom of the ladder and is now under pressure to avoid relegation. The Blues had pretty much wrapped up victory last week, however there was always that chance of the Tigers pulling off a reverse outright. That wasn’t the case as we headed into day two, even though the Blues resumed at 3/35 and were eventually bowled out for just 106. With a lead of 128 Hastings’ bowlers again needed to perform at their absolute best. That came in the form of Isuru Dias who took 5/23 off 10 overs (he
also took 6/34 in the first innings). The Tigers were rolled for 47 in 20.1 overs. Mt Martha was able to get pre-finals bragging rights over Seaford in their clash. Mt Martha now hold second place on the lader, .05 of a percent clear of Seaford who sit in third place. Given the tightness of the season it was an important win for the Reds. It was an incredible victory for Mt Martha who resumed day two at 7/29, chasing Seaford’s first innings total of 126. Make no mistake Brad Schreuder was the match winner with an unbeaten 42, while Kane Hawkins was not far behind at all with 39. Right at the end when Mt Martha needed somebody to stick around with Schreuder, Curtis Stone was the man to step up to the plate, scoring 19 runs and helping to get his team over the line.
Heatherhill has grabbed Rye’s position in the top bracket after a convincing 100 plus runs win. Set 223 for victory, Rye resumed at 0/7. They were bowled out in the 42nd over for just 100. Matty Meagher was the destroyer for Heatherhill, taking 5/22 off 13 overs. Looking for an outright victory the Hills sent Rye back into bat, however were not able to pick up the ten wickets. Rye opener Tom Baron proved to be the thorn in the Hill’s side, scoring 101. It was a game between top versus bottom – Baden Powell vs Rosebud. Enough said? Not quite! Resuming at 1/62 and chasing 110 for victory, the Braves skipped along to victory scoring 5/244 in a leisurely 92 overs. Coen Chernishoff top scored for the Braves with 84 while Craig Entwistle finished unbeaten on 59.

Subbies produce predictable results SUB-DISTRICT
By IT Gully THINGS went absolutely as expected in MPCA Sub District Cricket on Saturday. After the conclusion of day one it appeared that all matches would have a predictable outcome. For
instance, Boneo was always going to be up against it to beat Dromana who had set them 271 runs for victory, they fell almost 100 runs short, bowled out in the 53rd over for just 177. Jye Voelkl took 4/69 off 17 overs for the Hoppers while Ryan Jellie scored 77 for the Pandas. Skye was left with some work to
do to chase down Carrum Down’s total of 9/253. It too fell 60 runs short thanks largely to the Cougar’s Jordy Watters who picked up 5/44. Balnarring needed just 35 runs to beat Tyabb at the end of day one. They may have resumed at 5/80 but they were always going to pick up the required runs with five wickets
in hand, they declared at 8/151. Batting second against Tootgarook, Frankston YCW was always going to be up against it chasing down 205. Zac Stevenson was back in Frog colours after a stint at Rye and picked up 4/19 restricting YCW to just 152. In the final match Ballam Park’s
total of 157 was always going to be 60 shy of what was required against Carrum. The Lions scored 234 in 67 overs, a victory of 77 runs. Knight’s skipper David Cross was a stand out in the match taking 5/28.
Langwarrin, Somerville off to a flyer SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN’S much anticipated NPL2 debut and David Greening’s player-coaching bow both ended in triumph last weekend. Langy travelled to Wembley Park on Saturday and celebrated a deserved 2-0 win against a Box Hill side that enjoyed a lot of possession but whose slow and purposeless interpassing game suited the visitors. Greening’s two goals spearheaded Somerville Eagles’ 3-2 FFA Cup win against Old Mentonians at Somerville High School on Saturday. Somerville raced to a 3-0 lead thanks to Greening and Ash Scholes with the latter’s bullet header from a Matt Curd corner in the 50th minute giving him his first goal in senior football. A James Bingham goal in the 74th minute gave Old Mentonians a glimmer of hope and a moment of madness from Somerville keeper Brad Klarenbeek allowed Tyler Pollard to score from the penalty spot in the 87th minute. “We dominated the first 70 minutes but it was a tense and nervy finish as we ground it out,” said Greening. “It should never have got to that though so our game management is definitely something to work on.” Somerville’s starting line-up featured six newcomers in Greening, Scholes, Klarenbeek (all from Rosebud Heart), Matthew Curd (Seaford United), Louis Griffiths (Baxter) and Michael Clarke (Elwood City) while Jack McKenna (Langwarrin), Stephen Curd (Seaford United) and Kadison English (Rosebud Heart) were on the bench. Langy’s success was due to a double from Liam Baxter and late heroics from goalkeeper Robbie Acs. Big “Yaya” (Mat Luak) revelled in an attacking midfielder’s role while 20-year-old Callum Goulding from Melbourne Victory anchored the Langy midfield with Lewis Potter and Paul Speed either side of a diamond formation. The pace of and trickery of Baxter and Johnny Kuol were constant dangers. Langy led 1-0 at the break thanks to a slick interpassing move involving Luak and Kuol with the latter teeing up Baxter for a tap-in in the 38th minute. That should have been the Scottish striker’s hat-trick but he’d shot over from the right of the area in the 16th minute and a minute later was denied by a point-blank smother from Box Hill keeper Luke Gavalas. Langy earned some breathing space when Baxter was brought down inside the area in the 71st minute and the referee had no hesitation in pointing to the spot. Baxter slammed his conversion high into the roof of the net before charging towards the large travelling support to celebrate.
Langy linchpin: Liam Baxter (right) in action for Langwarrin last season against Mornington’s Nathan Yole. Picture: John Punshon
Victor Medini, Sam Klepac and Esmael Zahiri replaced Luak, Baxter and Kuol in the second half and Langy appeared to be coasting to the line. But Acs had to spring into action in the 89th minute to block a close range Ryan Go shot and two minutes later Andy McIntyre was controversially ruled to have brought down Nicholas Edwards inside the area. Acs’s reputation as a shot-stopper was enhanced when he flung himself to his left to parry Phillip Petreski’s spot kick and end the home team’s dismal day. “It was very pleasing and it will give us a lot of confidence but at the same time we’ve got to do it again this week because there’s no point winning away from home then losing at home,” said long-serving Langy gaffer Gus Macleod. Langy squares up to Goulburn Valley Suns at Lawton Park on Saturday and the Shepparton-based club started the season with a 2-1 home loss last weekend to big spending title contender Dandenong City. Former AFC Wimbledon striker Craig Carley rejoined the Suns last May after stints at Hume City and Avondale and was appointed playercoach of the seniors last October. The club recently announced the capture of 24-year-old former Everton youth team midfielder Jordan Barrow. “We know they’ve strengthened but my focus is on our players and my job
is to make sure that they keep their concentration and focus on what we do well,” said Macleod. Langy’s under-20s bombed out 3-1. A sweeping interpassing move and a cross from the right by Keegan Guy in the 31st minute saw Langy captain Max Boulton charge in at the far post between two defenders and power his header home for the opener. The home team levelled right on the stroke of half-time via a stunning 30-metre strike by Sung Min Lee. Box Hill hit the front in the 64th minute when an inch-perfect cross from the right by Ryan Kirkus was headed home by unmarked substitute Nikita Cicmil. Langy lost its shape and discipline in the final half-hour and was a sitting duck on the break. It appealed in vain for offside in the 85th minute but Vasili Tsoumpris strolled clear and slammed the ball past helpless Langy keeper Ben Caballero to round off the scoreline. Langwarrin’s NPL juniors start their season on Sunday when they travel to Kingston Heath Soccer Complex to face NPL giant Bentleigh Greens with the under-12s and under-13s both kicking off at 10am, the under-14s and under-15s at 11.15am and the under16s and under-18s at 1pm. In State 3 South-East news Skye United confirmed late last week that it had signed former Mauritian international Chris Driver.
The club had already captured the signatures of Caleb Nicholes, Mitch Blake and Jordan Redburn from Langwarrin and Driver is a former Langy midfielder. Skye boss Billy Armour is still on the lookout to add to his squad. Skye beat State 4 East outfit Ringwood City 4-1 in a friendly at Ringwood on Saturday with Nicholes and Lawrence Komba scoring twice. Another former Langy player, Cameron Leopold, played for Skye but is yet to sign. Southern United’s season gets underway on Sunday when it hosts Bayside United which has signed around a dozen of Southern’s 2017 players. Southern’s senior squad has undergone a massive revamp under new head coach Aaron Myatt who comes face to face with Bill Mihaloudis and Rob Giabardo, Southern’s senior coaches last year and now in charge at Bayside. “We’ll approach this as we will do every game – believing in our strengths as a team unit,” said Myatt. “We have a young squad and although we haven’t gelled yet if we are solid and compact at the back we can get something from this game.” Here are Southern’s 2018 squads with the previous club of new players in brackets. The under-12s have eight players who have graduated from the club’s successful 2017 Skill Acquisition Pro-
gram (SAP). UNDER 12s: Taylen Wolf, Rhianna Kelleher (SAP), Jasmine Smith (SAP), Emilia Ingles (SAP), Ceara Taylor (SAP), Eden McKeown (SAP), Kayla McLeod (SAP), Leah Plavljanic (SAP), Gemma DeVos (SAP), Chiara Renzella, Savannah Lapenta, Lauren Riha, Ava Guarascio.

FORWARDS: Haylea Porter, Jasmine Ristevski, Monique Lapenta, Oakley Sunkel-Lozell. UNDER 19s & SENIORS: GOALKEEPERS: Freya Crocker, Celia Kelsall. DEFENDERS: Gemma Grek (Sandringham), Ella Douglas (Bayside United), Jess Beddows, Sarah Tebutt, Caibiran Deas, Indre Christy, Myrid Bartlett (Gippsland), Natasha Dakic.

FORWARDS: Casey Aarons (Alamein), Maylinda Emini (Brandon Park), Sita Karimi (Whitehorse United), Kristie Farmer (South Yarra), Sarah Wieck (Bayside United). Southern is looking at three other prospective signings on the local market as well as two players from Scotland. In other news Pines have lost Jack Wrobel and Matt Davis to White Star Dandenong (who lost 7-0 to Chelsea in their FFA Cup clash last weekend), Seaford’s Dylan Waugh is training with Peninsula Strikers and the player exodus from North Seaford Reserve looks likely to include Matt MorrisThomas, Mitch Lander and maybe Daniel Walsh.

Triathlon runners aim high THE Mornington Peninsula Triathlon Club is hoping to once again cement itself as one of the leading clubs in Victoria when it comes to junior triathlons. The club, based at Long Island Drive in Frankston, had four members competing in South Australia at the national level earlier this month with MPTC’s triathlon mentor, Luke Burns and some of the club’s up and coming juniors competing at the Glenelg Triathlon on Saturday 3 February. Burns, who trains out of Brisbane and competes internationally, ran against Australia and New Zealand’s best triathlon talent in the Oceania Cup where he finished in 15th position. MPTC performance coach Kyle Burns said that his son, Luke, has gone through the same system as the current juniors and has been a great mentor for the team. “He’s competed in about eight countries over the last year and three world cups so he’s really starting to find his feet internationally,” Burns said. “He went through the same system as the current juniors up until he was about 19-years-old.” Junior athletes, Lachie Watson, Oscar Riley and Lily Van Raay also competed in South Australia where they ran in the second race of the Australian Junior Triathlon Series. Burns said that not all went to plan for the juniors as they didn’t have best
of luck in their events after training so hard beforehand. “The results didn’t really reflect how they had been training,” he said. “Oscar copped a kick to the head in the swim and had to go to hospital afterwards with a mild concussion and Lachie fell off his bike and that was the end of his triathlon. “They had been training well beforehand so it’s pretty unlucky for the boys but they’re alright now and are working towards the All Schools in 10 weeks. “It was good to see Lily come back from a broken toe which she got at the start of the season and get through her race.” Having been chosen by the state coaches, Oscar returned the following day to join the Victorian Mixed Relay team and finished runners-up in the relay championships to claim his first national medal. Burns said it was a great result for Oscar with the event now being a major focus in Australia. “There is now an Olympic medal for that event so that triathlon has become a big focus,” he said. “Victoria has a really good team coming through and they only lost by nine seconds at the end. It’s really good and really encouraging going forwards.” MPTC also had five members competing in Elwood on the Sunday with Harrison Bolton, Ella Humphreys and Tomm Jansen all winning their
respected races while Grace Bunting finished in fifth position at the 15-19 World Championship Qualifiers. Burns said it was great to see the juniors compete so well considering that they’re still developing this year and will be aiming to step up next year. “They’re doing really well, some of them are fairly new and just learning at the moment,” he said. “Grace is going well and will be aiming to qualify for the World’s this year.” Burns said the results were a step in the right direction as the club has begun to put a greater focus on helping their juniors reach the podium.

Begg ready for first Diamond runner RETURNING to racing just over 18 months ago, Mt Eliza-based horse trainer Grahame Begg will have his first crack at the $1.5 million Group One Blue Diamond Stakes on Saturday (24 February). The former Sydney-based trainer will send his unbeaten colt, Written By, to Caulfield for the Blue Diamond Stakes after he ran away with the Group Three Blue Diamond Prelude at Caulfield a fortnight ago. The homebred colt, which is by Begg’s former star sprinter Written Tycoon and bred by his Hall of Fame father Neville, has defeated several Blue Diamond fancies in his two career starts and has done it the hard way having had to jump from the widest barrier both times. Trainer Grahame Begg, who trains out of Pinecliff, Mt Eliza, said he
couldn’t be happier with how the colt has pulled up from his last start and is looking forward to having his first runner in a Blue Diamond. “Obviously having a horse which is in good form heading into the Diamond makes it all that bit more exciting,” Begg said. “He’s very well and I’m very happy with him. He’s come through his run brilliantly and there hasn’t been any indication to make me think otherwise.” Jockey Jordan Childs, who has ridden Written By at his past two victories, equalled his biggest win to date in the Group Three prelude last start. He will be staying aboard the colt in the feature race on Saturday and will be hoping to capture his first Group One victory. Ben Triandafillou
PLAYERS from the St Kilda Football Club visited some of the most vulnerable in the community at Wallara’s Sages Cottage Farm, Baxter on Tuesday 13 February as part of their community camps initiative. The players visited the community garden which was built at the end of last year by some of the Saints executive management team and participated in a range of activities which provides training opportunities for people with different abilities. Wallara supports more than 500 people by providing community day services, residential and supported accommodation part and full-time employment, training and workplace opportunities for the disabled. As part of the two-day community camp, the Saints players also visited Peninsula Grammar where they kicked off their camp with a training session on the Monday morning. A further 45 schools across the Bayside, Kingston, Frankston and Mornington region were visited on the Tuesday as well as several football clubs and community groups. St Kilda’s general manager of community Lisa Laing said the club enjoyed the opportunity to get out and about in the region. “The camp was a golden opportunity for the club to give back to the community, while also allowing a future generation of Sainters to meet their heroes,” Laing said. “This region is so important to the club in all that we do, and the camp reminds us of the support that exists for the Saints in the bayside and peninsula communities.” The coaching staff and senior club
leaders also held a couple of functions on the Monday night aimed towards football communities. At the Frankston event, Nathan Burke was the keynote speaker, alongside Peta Searle and Southern Saints (Women’s VFL) player Georgia Walker while club CEO Matt Finnis, senior coach Alan Richardson and captain, Jarryn Geary headlined a second event in Sandringham focusing on leadership in football.
