The 90th
RED HILL SHOW
The Red Hill Show…There’s nothing like it!
CELEBRATING its 90th year, the Red Hill Show is still one of the most popular family events on the Mornington Peninsula calendar. Thousands of people will head up to the Red Hill Showgrounds on Saturday, 10th March to be part of this wonderful community celebration of agriculture, heritage, cooking, crafts and entertainment. The showgrounds will be transformed into one colourful, appetizing, entertaining spectacle for the whole family. The Mornington Peninsula will be on show! For nine decades the show continues to commemorate our agricultural lineage that goes back to the early pioneers and settlers on the hill. Visit our wonderful historical display in the community pavilion assembled by a team of volunteers lead by life member, Liz Dart and sponsored by Hillview Quarries. It includes a collection of memorabilia, photos, trophies and more. Don’t miss the official opening at 11am. As always, the animals, entertainment, exhibitions and demonstrations will be top class. “This year the Show Committee welcomes the speed and agility of the Fly Dogs”, said Bec Davis, Executive Officer. “The top oval will be taken over once again but the majestic
Clydesdales and romantic Gypsy Cobs”. The horses will be on show from 10.45am. Come and meet these very special gentle giants! “To celebrate our 90th we have included more FREE rides and fantastic attractions for the whole family”, Bec commented. “Kids can delight in a free pony ride, feed and pet our farm animal friends or enjoy a close encounter with native wildlife. Chose the BEST EXHIBIT IN SHOW and go in the draw to win a Bed & Breakfast voucher donated by Lindenderry at Red Hill. Maybe it’s a chook or duck in the poultry pavilion or a fun-loving ferret. From Miniature goats, alpacas, sheep and every animal in between. See the mustering talents of the Futura Working Dogs. Watch a farrier in action, join in a leather works demo, see a puppet master work his magic or visit our local Willum Warrain indigenous group where kids can paint their own boomerangs. It truly is a community event celebrating our past culture and lost trades”. Animals aside, there is so much more at the show. Kids and adults from across Victoria have submitted their entries for exhibits ranging from art & craft to cakes, flowers and vegies. The pavilions will be filled
with displays and demos. Marvel at the skilled art of the wood turners and spinners and weavers. Back by popular demand the Australian Mountainboarders will be trilling us with their high-flying stunts and sharing their tricks of the trade in free workshops throughout the day. Kids will love the circus workshops, tennis lesson from Origin Hotshots, rock climbing and fairground rides including free bubble soccer. There are prizes to be won across all ages at the classic Gumboot Throw. If that is not enough, we have the groves of The Jackson Four entertaining us on the top oval most of the day along with Wacca the Musical Koala and Jack with his Ukulele band. There will be industry and trade sites to explore from car companies, tractors and other machinery. Chat with the folks from Our Vans RV Rosebud and step inside the latest award-winning caravans. Wander around and peruse the diverse range of market stalls selling local crafts, produce and gourmet delights. Good food and local produce is engrained in the culture of the gorgeous Mornington Peninsula. … See you at the show!

Chamber in tune for the classics
MEMBERS of the Peninsula Chamber Musicians start their From Baroque to Beethoven series of concerts at All Saints Anglican Church, Rosebud on Saturday 3 March. The group will repeat the concert featuring Vivaldi’s Double Cello Concerto, Bach’s 5th Brandenburg Concerto and Beethoven’s 4th Symphony the next day (Sunday 4 March) at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Mornington. The group will be joined by soloist David Macfarlane on harpsichord for what is generally recognised as the first keyboard concerto written. The group’s winter concert will include internationally acclaimed pianist Caroline Almonte playing Mozart’s 22nd Piano Concerto. The performance will also include Borodin’s Nocturne from his 2nd String Quartet and Mozart’s 29th Symphony. The full orchestra will end the year on the weekend of 10 and 11 November with a concert that includes Vivaldi’s Spring, Puccini’s Chrysanthemum, Weber’s Concerto for Clarinet and Schubert’s Fifth Symphony. Details at peninsulachambermusicians.com.au. Tickets for the 3 March concert can be pre-ordered at trybooking.com/329997 and trybooking. com/329999 for 4 March.

Triathlon a roadblock for volunteers Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A TRIATHLON based at Mt Martha aiming to attract up to 1000 athletes plus their supporters this weekend will clash with the long-established CleanUp Australia Day effort along the foreshore. Organisers of the four-year-old Sufferfest triathlon – previously held in November – have applied for a permit from Mornington Peninsula Shire to
stage the event on 3-4 March, with the new date allowing them to take advantage of more stable weather patterns in autumn. But, in a late development on Friday – and despite planning for the event being well advanced with courses mapped, dates locked in, entries received and contractors engaged – the shire dropped a bombshell saying it was “waiting on further documentation from the event organiser before a permit can be issued”.
Triathlon owner Scott Hollow, who lives in Mt Martha and also runs seven other triathlons across the country, could not be contacted on Friday to ask about the permit issue. If a permit is granted the Esplanade would be closed between Mornington and Mt Martha, 6am-12 noon, Sunday 4 March, with half of Watson Road, Mt Martha closed from the Esplanade to Langrigg Avenue, 2.30-4.30pm, Saturday 3 March. The Sufferfest website says there
will be 400 bike riders on the course while the road is closed to the public, which is likely to impede Clean-up Australia Day volunteers’ access to the beach and foreshore. Mr Hollow told The News the twoday swim-run-ride event for both juniors and seniors would “bring hundreds of competitors and visitors to the town and generate thousands for the local economy”. But former mayor Cr Bev Colomb, whose Briars ward covers the course,
said she was “hugely disappointed with the unfortunate clash of dates”. “The council totally supports CleanUp Australia Day and I have worked with these people for years,” she said. “I think that big events should come through the council now that we have so many [rather than going to shire officers for approval]. “I have requested that members of the events team sit down with cleanup volunteers and map out what can be done.” Continued Page 14

MPs lobbied to slow speedsters Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au STATE MPs are being asked to back moves to have uniform speed limits on all the Mornington Peninsula roads. Cr David Gill says a piecemeal approach to speed limits sees 80kph in some sealed roads while unmade roads “have a default 100kph”. Most of the 570 roads within the shire having at least one section of unsealed road operating under the 100kph default speed limit. Cr Gill, the mayor Cr Bryan Payne and CEO Carl Cowie are meeting with Liberal opposition MPs David Morris (Mornington), Martin Dixon (Nepean) and Neale Burgess (Hastings) at Parliament House on Thursday 8 March to seek their support for a “peninsulawide road safety action plan”. “Mornington Peninsula Shire Council was the first council to officially join the [state government’s Toward Zero] campaign, yet there is still no overall road safety plan for the peninsula,” Cr Gill said. “We are ideally placed on a peninsula for a trial of a modern traffic and road management plan that could be the template for a realistic road toll campaign in rural Victoria. “The deputy commissioner of police-traffic said on an official visit to the shire last year that allowed speeds were a serious problem on the peninsula.” Then anomaly of high speeds on unmade roads was graphically illustrated to Cr Gill when meeting with ratepay-

ers on the side of Stumpy Gully Road, Balnarring on 7 February to discuss a drainage issue. “We were showered with stones and saw dangerous speeding drivers, even when we were standing on the side of the road,” he said. “Many of these motorists were not driving at an appropriate speed, as VicRoads suggest will happen on unsigned roads. This same location had yet another car run off the road and
into a tree just hours after our resident discussion.” Cr Gill said there had been three recent crashes in Stumpy Gully Road, although none had been reported to police as no one had been injured. “This is an unsealed road with a de facto 100kph speed limit,” Cr Gill said. “The default speed limit of 100kph on most of our 330 kilometres of gravel roads is causing concern in our community. Living and driving along these
roads is hazardous as country lanes have grown into thoroughfares. “The situation of sealed roads like Bungower Road and Balnarring Road being 80kph and dangerous gravel cross roads left at 90 or 100kph is difficult to comprehend. “VicRoads controls these speeds, they have a one size fits all protocol that deny sensible safety outcomes on the peninsula. “The piecemeal approach, even
down to speed changes on the same rural road - probably due to several accidents in one location - seems to me to be counterproductive to the rationale of the government’s Toward Zero campaign.” Meanwhile, the shire has given the go ahead to a roundabout being built at the intersection of Bentons, Derril and Loders roads, Moorooduc. The federal government has contributed $950,000 towards the roundabout. “Analysis in this area has highlighted the intersection has a high crash history. At this intersection, there have been two recorded crashes in the last five years,” a shire news release states. After inquiries by The News, infrastructure strategy and climate change executive manager Davey Smith said injuries were sustained in the two crashes at the intersection. “At the shire, we are working towards safer roads and roadsides, safer speeds, safer vehicles and safer road use in our commitment as a Towards Zero municipality. We take all crashes seriously to ensure our road network is safe for our residents,” Mr Smith said. Traffic will be disrupted for up to three months during construction. The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the shire spends about $8.9 million a year on its 1700 kilometre road network.

Youngsters setting the pace THERE is no better way to invest in future generations of sailors and get as many members enjoying sailing than to get them into Pacer yachts like those at Mornington Yacht Club. The club launched six Pacers on 16 February, bought by club members. The preferred equipment for school and youth team racing, Pacers are a two person centreboard dinghy with three sails: main, jib and spinnaker, however the spinnaker is not used during racing. The boats are distinctive with their blue sailcloth, with three racing boats having the standard blue jibs and the other three having white jibs as a way of identifying the two teams. The Pacer is ideal as a learn-to-sail boat with its comfortable seating, simple rigging and an optional high tensile rubber bow for added safety. The versatility of the design allows for inter-club racing against Sorrento, Blairgowrie, Westernport, Ranelagh and Davey’s Bay yacht clubs, among others. Stephen Taylor

Company powering ahead Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au AN “oversight” committee has been formed to ensure “community ownership” of control and infrastructure of a power company aiming to halve electricity bills on the Mornington Peninsula within six years. The People Power Company Mornington (PPCM) is holding a series of public meetings to gauge support for its plan to “fund, build and own together, a renewable plus storage, private electricity company to serve the needs of all ratepayers within the shire”. “In standing up to promote a genuine community opportunity, we have been bowled over by how rigorously
the community drills us on critical and important details of the proposal,” spokesman Magnus Mansie, of Shoreham, said. “The wisdom of crowds is not a myth, it is a hard-nosed reality and despite feeling like one is in the crosshairs at times, it is an exhilarating experience.” Mr Mansie said forming a Community Oversight Committee (COC) “is an important first step in the [company] honouring its commitment to community ownership and control of their own energy infrastructure”. He said the committee would have access to all aspects of the company’s planning, “including commercial-inconfidence issues”. “A process for resolving any com-
munity concerns is under discussion and will be codified and ratified in due course.” Mr Mansie said organisers were “taking on-board the current crop of important questions” raised at community meetings at Shoreham and Mornington “in order to be able to present the proposal with greater clarity”. “The community must feel very comfortable with this opportunity and know that there is absolutely no risk in registering,” he said. Mr Mansie told The News in January that by its sixth year of operation People Power Company Mornington “will be keeping around $165 million a year in the pockets of our local community for a further 20 years”. The move for a privately-owned pow-
er company followed the announcement by Mornington Peninsula Shire of its “partnership” in a “community grid project” with United Energy and GreenSync “to harness the power of demand response and facilitate the uptake of new renewable energy technologies”. Mr Mansie said PPCM had a team of “engineers with international, largescale project design and delivery experience, national economic experience and international ethics experience”. The company’s plan for power consumers to not be reliant on “government or corporate actions” involved building “renewable generation capacity as well as storage”. “It is intended that Mornington Peninsula Shire ratepayers and the employees of the company will be the
only owners of this new company,” Mr Mansie said. “Our goal is to remove every ‘rentseeker’ currently engaged in our electricity generation and supply. We will model the solutions in partnership with the only distributor on the peninsula, United Energy, and those positive discussions have already commenced. “If you can’t have panels on your roof or don’t like the look of them, no worries, your shares may be held in panels on a solar farm, for example, but these details are yet to be finalised, after we know the interest from ratepayers.” The company’s next meeting is 6pm – 7.30pm Friday 2 March at Hastings Community Hall. Interested ratepayers and renters may register for the meeting at morningtonpower.com.au

Festival wins for Hastings filmmaker HASTINGS filmmaker Karen McPherson has won two awards at the Peninsula Film Festival held in Rosebud and Queenscliff from February 9-11. McPherson brought home Best Cinematography and third prize overall for her short film, The Hamster King. The film features her son Harry, who spent many mornings at Balnarring and Somers beaches during filming. Karen’s depiction of these picturesque locations led to her winning Best Cinematography. “Creating a film like this was only possible because we live just a few minutes away from these beautiful beaches. Harry didn’t have to miss any school and we could keep going back to chase the magic hour of light on the beach,”

Case builds against Rosebud’s 50m pool Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is being accused of ignoring the business case for an alternative “more sensible” 25-metre pool at Rosebud. Retired businessman Colin Watson says building a 50-metre pool will be a waste of shire money while Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ Association secretary Dr Alan Nelsen sees a larger pool as being “over the top”. Shoreham Community Association says money being earmarked for the larger pool are jeopardising its entire 2018-19 budget submissions. Mr Watson, a Portsea resident, said the business case supporting a 25-metre pool by consultants GHD Pty Ltd “could not be clearer that a 50-metre pool would be a substantial over-investment and a waste of precious capital resources and become a recurrent financial burden for many generations to come”. Mr Watson backs Rosebud as the site for a new pool, but not one so big. Dr Nelsen agrees, saying a 10-lane, 50-metre pool is over the top: “You do not need to be a rocket scientist to work out that Rosebud does not need a pool of that size. “Over the past decade the council has spent about $10 million on consultants’ reports, shire overheads, and
buying the now-dud Rosebud central shopping centre site for the pool, and still no progress. “Three months after asking the community to have its say the council [has] decided to hold another survey and repeat the same question: a 25-metre pool or a massive 10-lane, 50-metre pool? “However, in this instance all that will be measured is how organised and successful the pro-50 metre pool lobby group is at getting people to respond, compared to those who simply don’t bother. It will not be a true or valid measure of the community’s opinion.” Shoreham Community Association president Alan Fisher said his group’s 2018-19 submissions – and many other submissions from Red Hill Ward – were being pushed aside because the larger pool was “taking all available shire funds”. “We wish to make a very strong protest of this blatant disregard of our part of the shire,” Mr Fisher stated in a letter to council. “If modest funding requests … are being disregarded [for] a 50 metre indoor pool at Rosebud which will have no value to the majority of ratepayers in Shoreham and the wider Red Hill Ward, then … we provide a strong vote of disapproval of the pool project which we believe should be paired back to a 25-metre pool.” Dr Nelson said a larger pool would be
25
the same size as that built for the Commonwealth Games at Albert Park and Frankston Council’s Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre. “This is despite the council insisting for 15 years that a 25-metre pool is adequate, a number of independent consultants’ reports and the business case, prepared last November by one of Australia’s largest consulting firms and saying that spending the extra $7.62 million for a 10 lane, 50-metre pool, is a waste of money.” Mr Watson said the larger pool would need a catchment area of at least 100,000 residents to justify it while Rosebud’s target catchment was 57,000. He said the larger pool cost $7.62 million more to build, straining the shire’s debt servicing liability an extra $100,000 operating subsidy. “If you undertook a public survey that put up a range of options for community infrastructure projects to cost $7.62 million, I guarantee that the increased size pool at Rosebud would be way down the pecking order,” Mr Watson said. “It is unethical and against the government’s Competitive Neutrality Policy to incorporate ‘nice to have’ nonessential extras and to subsidise the entry cost using council rates, thereby luring consumers away from, and affecting the viability of, existing local pool and fitness businesses.”

PREPARATION for the prestigious Bocuse d’Or cooking competition is underway for Michael Cole, current head chef at Georgie Bass Cafe and Cookery in Flinders. Cole was selected last year as the Australian representative in the international cooking competition, which will see him fly to China in May. He has now begun his training for the Asia-Pacific section of the competition with fellow chef, Laura Skvor. “We had a meeting in Melbourne a few weeks ago about our training program for the Bocuse d’Or, so Laura and I have already started training for that, we’ve been training for a while now. They’re going to send us over to the competition in China probably about a week before the event so we can get used to it over there,” Cole said. The Asia-Pacific section of the competition will be held in Guangzhou on 8 and 9 May. Success there would see Cole and Skvor qualify for the grand finale in Lyon in January 2019. Cole attributes his success to his style of presenting food, which he says is inspired by the trees and berries he finds on his walks in the bush around Flinders. “Sometimes people can’t understand why a Bocuse d’Or chef is working on the peninsula, but it’s all about the lifestyle balance,” Cole said. “It’s so beautiful down here, I find so much inspiration and it’s all so positive. Working here gets me away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and it gives me time to create.” The China trip in May will be Cole’s second attempt at qualifying in the Bocuse d’Or. “I [first] entered when I was 25 and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had no idea how intense it was going to be. I failed miserably,” he said. “It shocked me, but it shocked me in a good way. It showed me how much I had to learn. “The whole thing about cooking is we’re forever learning and challenging ourselves to get better. It took me eight years of training and working around the world before entering the Bocuse d’Or again.” Cole found more success in his next attempt. As well as being selected as the Australian Bocuse d’Or candidate he won the Chef of the Year Award. Brodie Cowburn

Dealing with downsizing dilemmas ARE you thinking of Downsizing? Is your home is no longer serving the purpose you purchased it for? Moving from your treasured family home into a smaller space can not only feel daunting, it may also stir-up mixed emotions from the past. You may not feel positive however the outcome will be well worthwhile, especially if you are finding it hard to manage. An important consideration to make would be deciding where you would like to move. If you enjoy being a part of the local community, finding a smaller home in the same area would be a great idea. It is usually the neighbourhood more than the house that you will miss. You will also need to declutter and sort through everything you have accumulated over
the years and decide whether to keep, sell or toss. It may be a good idea to hire a professional or ask for support from your family and friends. We are lucky enough to have Belinda Woolrych, expert speaker and author of Rightsize Your Home - The Empty Nester’s Guide to a Stress-free Downsize, along with other experts in the field, share their knowledge at our upcoming Downsizing Masterclass Events. Belinda will help you move through the process strategically so you can transition with ease, on Wednesday March 7 at 6pm -7.30pm the Canadian Bay Hotel in Mt Eliza.

Speaker goes home DETECTIVES were able to return a portable speaker after it was stolen from one of two youths walking home from Mt Erin College, 9pm, Wednesday 21 February. Detective Senior Constable Shaun Rampal, of Frankston CIU, said the 15-year-olds were walking home after basketball along Franciscan Avenue when a group of youths from a nearby party approached. Two of the youths allegedly “stood over” the boys and demanded to be able to go through their backpacks, stealing the speaker and other items valued at $200. Detectives later attended the party and spoke to the hosts who put out a message on social media, urging the offenders to return the items, which they did. A Frankston youth and a Crib Point youth, both 17, were taken back to the police station for questioning. Charges may follow.
CFA crews fight car fire FRANKSTON and Patterson River CFA crews extinguished a car fire in Seaford, midnight, Friday 16 February.

Work in focus but surf ’s up DR SAM Johnson grew up surfing on the Mornington Peninsula, and now a position training as a young doctor at Frankston Hospital means he may be able to rekindle his passion for the sport. The 25-year-old is excited to be back on the peninsula to complete his graduate year in medical training after spending the past few years studying at Melbourne University. “I used to surf heaps before medicine, then it went on the back burner, but, hopefully, now I’m back down here I’ll be able to go more whenever I’m not working,” Dr Johnson said. As well as being attracted to the lifestyle offered by working at Peninsula Health, Dr Johnson says he was also impressed by the level of support given to junior doctors. “I’d heard really good things about the hospital,” he said. “I know quite a few of last year’s interns and they’ve loved it. There’s a lot of support and really good registrars here who are very helpful.” The former Mentone Grammar student will do five rotations this year, starting in general medicine on ward 5GS at Frankston Hospital before moving on to Rosebud Emergency Department, then general surgery, and a rural placement at Warragul before finishing up in the neurology sector. On an average day, Dr Johnson and his fellow doctors in his general medicine group look after 15-25 patients. During his undergraduate degree in bio-medicine, Sam came to be sure he wanted to pursue a career in medicine, although he is still deciding what area to specialise in. “I’ve always been interested in health, sport and nutrition, the human body and the challenge of constantly learning new things,” he said. “I like the idea of working in sports medicine, the ED, intensive care unit or general medicine.” In his first two weeks, Dr Johnson says he has learned a lot: he’s cared for confused and agitated patients, called a code, used a new computer system and gotten his head around the preferred method of communication between medical staff: pagers.
New posting: Dr Sam Johnson hopes to reunite work with his passion. Picture: Supplied
One of the most rewarding experiences of his intern year so far has been helping a patient through a difficult time. “The patient has been really sick, so just being able to chat to him about stuff outside of medicine, like the cricket and what he used to do for a living, helps take his mind off things and normalises being in hospital,” he said. Dr Johnson is looking forward to heading to Rosebud for his next rotation – for both the work and, of course, being close to some of the peninsula’s best surf beaches.

‘Sensation’ when kings return to bay LARGE numbers of baby King George whiting have been recorded in fisheries surveys of Port Phillip for the second consecutive year. Victorian Fisheries Authority ceo Travis Dowling said anglers could expect “sensational fishing” from 2019 to 2021 when the juvenile whiting detected in 2016 and 2017 will have grown to a catchable size. The large number of juvenile whiting in Port Phillip are also seen as a pointer to what anglers can expect in Western Port. “Scientists have conducted annual surveys of small juvenile whiting in the bay’s seagrass beds since 1998 to help forecast the abundance of stocks and manage the fishery sustainably,” Mr Dowling said. “Two very strong years in a row is wonderful news and will get more people fishing, more often, which is at the core of the state government’s Target One Million plan that’s investing a record $46 million into a suite of projects to grow participation in recreational fishing, including bringing an end to all commercial net fishing in the bay by 2022.” Mr Dowling said whiting larvae drifted east from spawning grounds off far western Victoria and eastern South Australia for about three months before entering bays and estuaries during spring when scientists conducted the surveys. “Westerly winds help drive the currents that bring the whiting larvae into our bays, where they take about two years to reach the legal minimum size of 27 centimetres,” Mr Dowling said. “At about four years of age, most whiting have left the bays to complete their adult life in coastal waters. “Because whiting only reside in the bays for a few years of their life, these fisheries naturally fluctuate depending on the number of tiny larvae that entered the bays several years prior.

MANY of the of baby King George whiting being seen in Port Phillip and Western Port are likely to return as catchable adults in two to three years.
“People fishing outside the bays along the coast can expect increased catches of larger whiting during the early 2020s, as maturing fish move out to coastal waters.” In Victoria there is a daily bag limit of 20 King George whiting a person and they must be landed whole or in carcass form. Meanwhile, researchers at The University of Western Australia say sharks take about 12 per cent of recreationally caught fish in the Ningaloo region. Close to 40 per cent of the more than 400 anglers interviewed by the researchers had experienced a shark bite-off on their most recent fishing trip. Areas fished more frequently reported higher shark bite-off rates, which was hypothesizsed to be due to a behavioural change where the sharks associate the presence of boats with the availability of hooked fish to feed on. Additionally, areas with high catches for recreational fishers may also be good feeding habitats for sharks so have higher concentrations
of the predators which lead to higher numbers of interactions with hooked fish. Lead author and PhD student Jonathan Mitchell from UWA said the study will act as a baseline, allowing researchers and fishery managers to identify changes over time and develop science-based mitigation strategies. “By identifying areas and depths at which biteoffs are more likely to occur, fishers can avoid these areas to immediately have a better chance of reducing bite-offs,” Mr Mitchell said. “Modifying fishing techniques by spending less time at each site and moving to a different location as soon as a fish is taken by sharks, may help to prevent sharks from learning to associate fishing activities with food and increase a fisher’s chances of avoiding further bite-offs. The findings are important to fishers and both marine park and fisheries managers as.” The researchers aim to identify shark species involved and learn more about their behaviour to identify ways in which shark bite-offs can be reduced.

Prime Minister’s whistlestop Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON train station was a honeypot for politicians on both sides of the political spectrum last Monday (19 February). The Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull turned up at the station about half an hour after Victorian Transport Minister Jacinta Allan dropped by to announce the awarding of a tender as part of the Labor state government’s $63 million station precinct redevelopment project. Mr Turnbull, accompanied by Dunkley Liberal MP Chris Crewther, travelled to the station flanked by a prime ministerial security detail. Most people walking past on the streets of Frankston seemed nonplussed by Mr Turnbull’s declaration that he was there to announce “a business case for the electrification of the Frankston line to Baxter”. His 15-minute visit to central Frankston followed an hour or so at Mornington business, Bata Shoes. “He was in town to look at Bata Shoes and local manufacturing and talk about the need for growth in manufacturing,” Mr Crewther said after the visit. “He was at Frankston train station to talk about the Baxter electrification project and our support for that. We’ve signed off on that project already, so we’re waiting on the state government to tender it out.” The federal government committed $4 million towards a business case study to make the case for the electri-
On front foot: Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull had a brief respite from being asked questions about the Liberal Party’s inability to give Nationals Party coalition colleague Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce the boot after a tumultuous fortnight in Canberra. The political capital has been rocked by revelations of taxpayer-funded jobs last year for a previously undeclared female partner of the deputy. Picture: Gary Sissons
fication of the rail line to Baxter. “We’re calling on the state government to cost it out because we want it costed out before the state election,” Mr Crewther said. “If we don’t get it scoped before the state election there’s going to be no funding committed by the state opposition or the state government.” Ms Allan announced a construction partnership between KBR and John Holland to redevelop Frankston train
station based on designs by Genton Architecture. “This new station will be bigger and better than before,” she said in a statement. “It will be a community centre Frankston can be proud of.” Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke, also at the station with the state transport minister last Monday, took to social media after the Prime Minister’s visit to note Mr Turnbull made no federal funding announcements while in Frankston
and "urging" the state govern-ment to partly fund major projects. “State Labor govt invests $200 plus million in Frankston without any matching investment from the PM and Federal Libs who are still 'urging' .... Thanks for nothing Turnbull,” Mr Edbrooke tweeted. The station will be closed from midyear while the rebuild is underway and replacement buses will shuttle commuters.
Doubts cast over triathlon permit Continued from Page 1 Mt Martha resident Dianne Lewis said “Clean up Australia Day has, for the past 19 years, been on the first Sunday in March”. “[The day] brought the Australian community together to care for our local environment, yet this important event has not managed to find its way into the calendar of council’s events team.” Ms Lewis said “closing the Esplanade that very same Sunday morning will make it almost impossible for the many volunteers who have planned and organised to be part of clean-up events – how outrageous.” Mr Hollow said the clash of events “shouldn’t be an issue”. “The event doesn’t mean people can’t cross the road,” he said. “We are
100 per cent aware that the volunteers are not to be inconvenienced.” Mr Hollow said he had attempted to “thoroughly consult with Mt Martha residents” over the date’s rescheduling from November to March, but had been met with apathy. “We arranged a meeting at Mt Martha Tennis Club in October and no-one turned up.” A $160 permit is required to hold an event on council land. The shire said permit applications were “assessed against relevant policy, local law and/ or relevant acts”. Asked what consideration was given to the clash with Clean Up Australia Day media office Emily Lees said the shire aims to work “collaboratively” with all event organisers. “Across the peninsula, more than 30 clean-up sites are listed with the Clean
Up Australia Day website. Four sites are within the event area. Triathlon organisers are working with the shire and site organisers to accommodate required access during the road closure period,” Ms Lees said. Mr Hollow said the triathlon children’s events on the Saturday would lead into Sunday’s “marquee event” – the Mt Martha Sufferfest Long Course Triathlon consisting of a 1.9km swim, 90km ride and 21.1km run “along the beautiful Mornington Peninsula coastline”. Other, shorter triathlons cater to “those not ready for the long course but want to race on this beautiful course”. Entry fees listed on the website range from $25-$319. “We are aiming for this year’s event to bring at least $500,000 to the peninsula,” he said. “We’d love to see
that double, triple, quadruple and more over the years. “We are very passionate about supporting community groups with this event as well. Over the years, Sufferfest has provided over $30,000 back to local community groups who help us stage the weekend.” Mt Martha Life Saving Club president David Mowatt said triathlon organisers had contracted the club to provide “water safety duties” during the two-day event. He said the club would be paid depending on the number of competitors. “The triathlon is a good thing for the community because it brings people here and it’s good for our members to gain experience,” he said. Crs Sam Hearn and Rosie Clark did not return calls from The News.
Peninsula cleans up CLEAN Up Australia Day is on Sunday 4 March. Last year 42 clean-up sites were registered across the Mornington Peninsula and about 40 cubic metres of waste was collected. Those wanting to join in this year can register a site or join a clean-up site online. Each registered site will be provided with a Clean Up Australia Day Kit, including registration papers, posters, bags, one sharp container, warning sign and litter report. Volunteers will need to provide their own gloves as well as sunscreen, suitable clothing and footwear. Schools and businesses can get involved in Business Clean Up Australia Day on Tuesday 27 February and Schools Clean up Australia Day on Friday 2 March. Mornington Peninsula Shire supports Clean Up Australia Day by coordinating sites and removing rubbish collected at registered sites. To register a site this year visit cleanupaustraliaday.org.au or call 1800 282 329. Clean-up Australia Day sites are at: Mt Martha: foreshore and creek, cliffs and rock, Birdrock Beach.

Line fatality TRAIN services between Mordialloc and Frankston were suspended last Wednesday afternoon (21 February) after a woman was hit and killed on the rail line. Metro Trains sent replacement buses to shuttle commuters during the peak-time travel window. A woman died at the Armstrong Rd crossing in Seaford after being struck by a passing train at about 4.30pm. Police said there were no suspicious circumstances and a report will be prepared for the coroner. Lifeline can be called on 13 11 14 or the call back service on 1300 659 467.

Gimme shelter Picture this: A very hot afternoon (Thursday 8 February) and 25 people are waiting for a bus in blazing sunshine. No shade at Bay D outside Frankston station. Two boys are squeezed into a tiny portion of shade at the back of the tiny bus shelter. The shelter’s tiny roof cannot provide shade. An elderly lady has her hands on top of her head -
Bravery recognised The story about the violent storm that swept Victoria in your “100 years ago” segment (The News 13/2/18) was of great interest and is very well known to me and my family, as my father Rupert Walter was vey much involved. The fishing boat that capsized contained three men, two of those men survived as they were rescued by people on the shore. Two men, one being my father, swam out in raging seas and each brought a man safely to shore. My father then swam out again but was unable to save the third man as he had drowned. My father was recognised for his bravery by the Royal Humane Society of Australia. His certificate for bravery which proudly hangs in our home states what he did and who he saved. My father was only 16 years of age when he made this rescue. I hope you may find this additional information to your story of some interest. Beverly Savige (nee Walter), McCrae
Communication break I sympathise with Nonie Harvey who runs a hairdressing business in Mornington and has been left without a phone since trying to install the NBN. The same thing happened to me. I requested the NBN early December 2017, and immediately had my phone disconnected. I was
A food,wine & music gathering...
awaiting a call from hospital for specialised heart repair surgery, which was fairly urgent. Fortunately Christmas came and the surgeons went on holiday. I made an exhaustive number of calls to NBN - China, or India, or the Philippines or wherever they are (on my mobile) - and had a great many “conversations” with various people who could not properly speak or understand English and didn’t really care. The same with Telstra. Finally I was connected in early January, but with a different phone number. I need my old number so I rang on the merry go round again and, yes, got disconnected for two more weeks. Finally I got it all connected, but installed absolutely unsatisfactorily, which I had to rectify at my own expense. I laughed like mad when they asked did I want NBN and Telstra internet services connected. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
Farcial survey Well, what a farce the [Rosebud] pool “survey” is. It’s déjà vu. Here we are seeing the pro 50 metre poolers firing the bullets for pro 50m Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors. Take yourselves back to the 25m pool debacle on the foreshore, where we had pro 25m - I emphasise again, pro 25m poolers -firing the bullets for several of the shire councillors. I saw one of those survey tables set up in Rosebud adorned with shire logos and who should be there peddling why we should have a 50m pool? None other than self-confessed 50m pool supporter, Cr Frank Martin. How biased can you get? How many more pro 50m supporters are manning or womaning the booths? Setting up a stall outside a supermarket does not reflect the true intentions of the ratepayers of the shire. That is still not a true indication of the ratepayers’ wishes. There are still campers and tourists in the shire and I object to some blow-in from Brunswick deciding what size pool I will get in Rosebud. These people were the same sorts of temporary
residents that filled out the surveys and petitions for a pool on the foreshore. I do hope that the money they saved while there was a lock on the council liquor cabinet is not funding this bogus survey. Once again, a properly conducted poll is required and that will show that the majority of ratepayers far outnumber the handful of ratepayers that want a pool. What will happen if the majority says no pool at all? If you’re interested, I don’t mind a pool, just not a 50m pool. John Cain, McCrae
Horse cruelty The racing industry is calling it “the weekend to forget”, but it’s important that horseracing’s ever-growing bloodbath be remembered. Two weekends ago, five jockeys suffered serious injuries in a fall in Hobart, with at least one horse apparently being killed. Falls in Toowoomba and at the Sunshine Coast led to more injuries. It is clear that enough, for this vile industry, is far more than enough. An average of over two horses a week die on Australian racetracks, usually with little fanfare. Horses are raced too young and too hard and their bones are not up to the immense impact and stress. They routinely suffer from injuries, lameness, and exhaustion. Horses are whipped and forced to run at break neck speeds. And to keep them running when they should be resting and recuperating, they may be given painkillers, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatory drugs. All this often leads to broken legs and death. For those horses who manage to survive, few will be retired to grassy pastures. Most owners are unwilling to bear the costs of horses who aren’t making them money. Unwanted horses typically are shipped to slaughter. Humans have the choice to be involved, but for the horses raced beyond breaking point and then discarded like used betting slips, there is no choice, only pain and untimely death. Desmond Bellamy, special projects coordinator, PETA Australia
JOHN BUTLER HARRY JAMES THE CAT
TRIO
In December 2017, I wrote to the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council asking a number of questions related to tourism and concerning among other things tourism-related income and expenditure. In response, council sent three website links, including one to the 2016-2017 annual report. There was nothing there other than a statement that said “… contributing 11 percent (directly and indirectly) to the region’s gross regional product and employment (see page 2)”. It appears council doesn’t know exactly what income it receives, let alone what it spends on preparing for the annual influx and then mopping up after (some) tourists. The questions asked are due to concern, shared by many, about the sheer density of people on the southern part of the peninsula over summer. Council should be able to clearly demonstrate a tangible benefit when its policies support towns such as Rye and Sorrento to have huge population increases that; makes it impossible to comfortably walk along a footpath; creates constant traffic and parking chaos; means listening to the incessant drone of jet skis; results in vandalised facilities; and causes us to be appalled at the third world volumes of rubbish left on our foreshores and beaches. Perhaps along with a (mass) tourism management plan, the CEO could look at adjusting the shire financial reporting system so that councillors can be better informed about tourism costs and benefits. Such action would lead to better decisions about handling large volumes of people at peak times. Mechelle Cheers, Rye
perhaps she had not anticipated such a hostile environment. One lady crosses the road to shelter under the shop awnings. She returns five minutes before the bus is due. Unfortunately the bus is 10 minutes late. This situation is serious. A shelter that shelters is urgently needed at Bay D. Still no reply to my hand delivered letter to Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke or Transport Minister Jacinta Allen but Public Transport Victoria has advised me to contact VicRoads. It is a slow and arduous journey to find out who is accountable. Hopefully, persistence will pay off. Brenda Rowlands, Mt Eliza

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Local lads welcomed home Compiled by Brodie Cowburn THIS evening a welcome home will be accorded Corporal F. McDonald D.C.M. and Gunner H. Upton, (who have been invalided back from the front) at the Langwarrin Hall. At the same time a presentation will be given Trooper G. Knox on the occasion of his departure to the scene of action. *** MAJOR Conder, Camp Commandant, Langwarrin, returned to camp last week, after a well deserved holiday, extending over eighteen days. This is the only change the Major has enjoyed during his residence in Langwarrin. In two years and one month he has not been absent for a single night from camp. Part of the holiday was spent in New South Wales, in company with the genial padre - Capt Chaplain Gates. A warm welcome was accorded them upon their return to camp. *** WHILE burning off sweepings from the trucks at the Albion Sand Pit on the 14th, the tree adjoining caught fire, the flames reaching thirty feet. Had it not been for the prompt action of Mr Klauer (pit forman) with his men, also ganger Gale and staff, who were working close by on the Railway line, Seaford may have had a serious fire. *** THE Somerville Red Cross Society assisted by the residents of the district
are entertaining a contingent of returned soldiers on Saturday afternoon, March 2nd at 2.30 p.m. All are invited to come and give the boys a cheer. The Langwarrin band will play selections. *** AT THE Red Cross bazaar held at Somerville last week a collection was made by the members and presented by Mr G Shepherd (chairman) to Mr Duffy (Secretary of the Hall committee) who is going into camp this week. *** EXCESSIVE Motor Traffic. A conference of municipalities was held at the Municipal Association Chambers, Melbourne, on Tuesday afternoon last, to consider the above question. The conference was convened by the Shire of Frankston and Hastings. and was presided over by Cr. W. J. Oates, President of that Shire. Two delegates were present from each of the following shires:— Mornington, Dandenong, Cranbourne, Moorabbin, Mulgrave, Nunawading, Lilydale, Upper Yarra, Braybrook, Corio, Werribee, Bacchus Marsh, Fern Tree Gully, Healesville, Doncaster, Heidelberg, Keilor, Bulla, Eltham, Melton, Broadmeadows, Gisborne. The chairman explained the object for which they were called together to endeavor to get assistance in maintaining the roads where the extra motor traffic through particular shires means that revenue that should be spent on subsidising back roads is be-
ing spent to keep CRB roads in repair for motor traffic. A serious defect in the act was that it made no provision for a speed limit for motors. It was considered that a maximum speed of 25 miles an hour was as much as the best macadamised road could carry with reasonable maintenance charges. *** A PAINFULLY sudden death occurred at Frankston on Friday afternoon when Mrs Mary Agnes Hockin, 64, a widow, collapsed while walking along Playne St. She was carried into Mr Wheeler’s chemist shop, from where a message was sent for Dr Atkinson, who pronounced life to be extinct. The coroner was informed of the death and after receiving a report from the Frankston police, gave an order for burial. Deceased leaves a grown up family of daughters, was at one time proprietress of Hockin’s hotel Elizabeth St., City *** ABOUT twenty gentlemen attended the meeting held at Frankston on Monday evening, for the purpose of considering what further steps could be taken to improve the Kananook Creek. The Shire president, Cr W. J. Oates, occupied the chair and after reading the advertisment calling the meeting said that the matter was a most serious one. The creek at present was in a terrible state. They had tried to improve it and had approached the
Governmeet for help but though they had received all sorts of promises nothing of much avail had been done. Mr Adamson had inspected the creek, and had promised to do something but found out that there were no funds available. £100 had been put on the estimates to put more boards on the mouth of the creek, but that was all the satisfaction they had got. *** THIS evening (Feb 23) a grand entertainment will be given by the Gipsy Rovers, in the Somerville Mechanics’. Proceeds are in aid of the local branch of the Lady Mayoress’ Patriotic league. A splendid programme will be submitted and patrons are assured a pleasant time. Prices for admission are 1s 6d and 1s. *** MR J. D. Page, of Armadale, will conduct both services at the Frankston Methodist Church on Sunday next. On the same day the Rev T. H. P.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Having My Cake But Not Eating It Too By Stuart McCullough IT arrived without warning. A message appeared on my phone accompanied by a photo. The picture was of a piece of cake. The caption simply said: ‘the last piece’. I’m sure my brother meant it as a provocation of a kind. But he was wrong. Instead of a golden opportunity to lord it over me, this was my chance to seize a moral high ground so lofty that the altitude would require Sherpas and an oxygen tank. I held nothing back in response. That, in retrospect, was my mistake. Each year our mother makes Christmas cakes. These are then distributed to me and to my siblings. Granted, there was an ugly period during which the size of your cake depended on the size of your family. Suffice to say, that some members of the family received a cake that could only be described in terms of acreage whereas mine was a notch or two above ‘cup cake’. These days, however, each family receives the same thing. Which makes the weeks that follow even more interesting. For as long as I can remember, there’s been an unspoken competition between my brothers and sisters and I regarding these Christmas cakes. It’s both breathtakingly simply and deadly serious. The rules are simple. The person who keeps at least some of their cake for the longest period of time wins. That’s what my brother was really telling me with that text message. He was telling me that he’d won. Again. My brother has a gift for taking his time. He always has. As kids, he’d
still have Easter eggs in November, months after the rest of us had wolfed down our own, leaving nothing but brightly coloured foil in a twisted mess. It was the same with biscuits. Rather than eat a Tim Tam, my brother would dissect it, patiently picking of bits of chocolate until the
entire thing was completely denuded. It was inevitable that he’d parlay his extraordinary skill for preservation into the annual Christmas cake competition. We’d catch up and he’d say, ‘February 12’ and I’d know exactly what he was talking about. I’ve never been good at it. Years
ago, when I was single, I probably had my best shot of winning. Back then I ate Christmas cake throughout January as a substitute for dinner. Then, after I was married, I discovered to my absolute horror that I was expected to share my Christmas cake with others. Not just with my wife, but her sister, my mother in law and, so it seemed, various passers by. This severely curtailed my ability to make it past the first week after Christmas. One of my sisters has her own challenges in this respect – she has three teenage boys and is lucky if there’s anything left after the car trip home. This time, I took a strategic approach. Instead of allowing people to descend on my Christmas cake like a hoard of gigantic ants, I lopped off a chunk and handed it over without fuss. This extraordinary act of generosity seemed to satiate the need of my nearest and dearest to demand more. It meant that my Christmas cake would be free of the threat unexpected raids and unplanned pillaging. All I had to do now was exercise self control. Luckily, I quite like exercise, and I still had Christmas cake left over by the time we hit February. Perhaps I was a little too quick to claim victory. I texted my brother, boasting that I still had some Christmas cake left. His response was immediate, claiming that he’d be at my place by six. I, in turn, informed him that I was in Horsham. He quickly replied that instead of six, he’d arrive at half past seven. For a moment, I thought he had failed to comprehend that I would not be available before it dawned on me that I was surplus
to requirements. I laughed it off as a joke, before messaging my wife and telling her to check the locks. It was in the days that followed that I overplayed my hand. Having received a photo, I decided to send a picture of my own. It was of my last piece of Christmas cake. Having made it all the way to February, this was something of a personal best for me. I even positioned the little Santa figurine. Perhaps it was the angle or a trick of the light, but the photo almost looked as though Father Christmas was yelling in anger, defending the last piece of cake. At a glance, it seemed as though St Nick might even be flipping my brother the bird. I sent it to him along with the hashtag ‘last piece’. That, so I thought, was that. I received a series of messages in reply. The first one read ‘#dropthemic’ and included an emoji of a microphone. Presumably the microphone was in the process of being dropped. It’s had to tell sometimes with emojis. It was then followed by a photo of a cake still wrapped in plastic. It was, my brother would go on to explain, a back up cake. One they’d been given as a reward for their children’s help with decorating. He then followed it up with a final text that simply read, ‘#theydon’tlikechristmascake’. I was beaten. My brother had once again bested me. Soundly beaten, there was nothing I could do but console myself with my last piece of Christmas cake. Yum. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Wickets tumble at Lloyd Park PROVINCIAL
By Mr & Mrs IT Gully IT is going to be an enthralling second week of cricket at Langwarrin’s Lloyd Park this Saturday as the home team attempts to defend its measly total of 135. Baxter’s Dale Irving and Ben Brittain tore through the Kanga’s top order at one stage having them reeling at 2/2. Jake Prosser (23) Trav Campbell (51) and Taylor Smith (22) helped the Kangas get to their final total. They lasted just 66.4 overs. Yohan Maddege bowled 20.4 overs for Baxter and finished with the outstanding figures of 4/41. Baxter faced the final 13 overs of the day and things could not have gone any worse. They will resume this week at 4/31 with Chris Brittain, Justin Bridgeman and Dale Irving still to bat. Mornington has set Peninsula Old Boys 175 for victory in their match at Alexandra Park. Michael Heib top scared for the Doggies with 48 while Sam Wiese opened with 38. Adam Gailitis was the pick of the POB bowlers with 4/58 from 31 overs. POB faced the final 3 overs of the day and finished at 0/11. Pearcedale has set Mt Eliza an awkward total of 167 after Lyle House took 5/23. A number of Pearcedale batsmen
got starts with Will Kennedy top scoring with 30 and Chris Dew hitting 28. Mt Eliza faced the final 2 overs of the day and will resume this week at 0/5. Sorrento’s top order fired on Saturday against Crib Point and the result was 9/236 from 80 overs. Jedd Falck top scored for the Sorras with 49, Bobby Wilson continued his country week form with 48 and Tom Clarke contributed 41 to the final total. The Magpies Glenn Barclay was the best of the bowlers picking up 5/76 from 33 overs.
Country week champs MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association was crowned Country Week champions last week after beating SaleMaffra in the final by 5 wickets. The MPCA batted first at the Junction Oval and put together a more than competitive score of 5/227, with skipper Bobby Wilson hitting an unbeaten 113 while Chris Dew opened with 66. Sale-Maffra was always in the contest eventually bowled out in the final over for 214. Wilson followed up his superb performance with the bat snaring 4/36 off 8.4 overs with the ball. The MPCA also defeated Sale-Maffra in round 2 of the competition by almost 100 runs. Its only blemish throughout the competition was against Traralgon in round 1, losing by 46 runs.

Hills in strong position DISTRICT
In command: Heatherhill battling Mt Martha. Picture: Andrew Hurst
By Mr & Mrs IT Gully HEATHERHILL has placed itself in a commanding position against Mt Martha in MPCA District cricket. The Hills bowled out the Reds for 180 in the 68th over. It should have been a lot less given the Red’s skipper Rhys Whitling scored 46 at the bottom of the innings. Brett Maxwell was the pick of the Hills bowlers with 3/28. In reply, Heatherhill faced the final 12 overs of the day and opener Steven O’Donnell blasted the attack scoring a quick fire 40 to have the
Hills 0/46 at stumps. Hastings needs six wickets and Seaford needs 62 runs for victory in their match at Seaford Reserve. In a game that is sure to go down to the wire, Hastings batted first and limped to 121. At one stage the Blues were 8/77. Seaford’s skipper, Ryan McQueen, took 3/10 and Dean Polsen snared 3/35. Facing the final 18 overs of the day Seaford was cruising at 0/29 before losing 4/32. Luke Hewitt picked up 3/27. Rosebud has already won its match against Rye. Rye batted first and lasted just 37
overs and was bowled out for 75. In reply, Rosebud faced the final 43 overs for the day and got their score to 7/146, Jason Mathers unbeaten at the crease on 51. Baden Powell needs 154 runs with nine wickets in hand in its match against Seaford Tigers. Mackenzie Gardener top scored for the Tigers with 43 while David James was next best with 30 after the Tigers won the toss and batted first. The Braves were forced to face the final four overs of the day, but didn’t come through unscathed losing Tyson Jackson for a duck. They will resume this week at 1/5.
Eagles chase big scalp PENINSULA
By Mr & Mrs IT Gully SOMERVILLE is just 34 runs short of victory against Red Hill in MPCA Peninsula cricket after 16 wickets fell on the opening day. The Eagles will resume this week at 6/65 chasing down Red Hill’s first innings total of 98. Red Hill skipper Simon Dart was the only notable performer scoring 44. Delacombe Park appears to be in the box seat against Pines on their home turf needing a further 151 runs for victory with 9 wickets in hand. Pines batted first on Saturday with Ashley Hupe top scoring with 47 while Lai Leaunoa was next best with 37. Ricky Ramsdale was sensational
with the ball for the Parkers taking 5/46 off 29.5 overs, including ten maidens. The Parkers will have the full 80 overs to track down the total. Moorooduc will need to be at its best with the bat this week in an effort to score the 217 required to beat Long Island. Pathum De Mel took 3/29 for the Ducks while Reece Cordeux helped himself to 3/39. The Ducks will resume this week at 0/2. In the final match, Flinders has set Main Ridge 224 for victory. A number of Sharks got starts, the pick of them being Shane Beggs with 33 and Brennan Gillies with 31. Sam Lyons was the best of the Main Ridge bowlers with 4/63 from 24.5 overs.

Knights facing an outright loss SUB-DISTRICT
By Mr & Mrs IT Gully BALLAM Park is staring down the barrel of an outright defeat against Tootgarook in MPCA Sub District cricket. The Knights batted first and lost their first six batsmen for less than fifteen runs between them. Shannon Roberts proved to be the saviour for the Knights with 23. Stephen Brain
was clearly the Frog’s best bowler capturing 6/27 off 17 overs. Tootgarook then went to town and in 27 overs rattled together 7/127, Tim Symons top scoring with 43 and Travis French hitting 42. The Knights faced the final 16 overs of the day and will resume at 1/24, still 50 runs behind. Whilst it may be too late for Frankston YCW to make finals,
they are giving it a red-hot dip against Dromana. Dromana batted first and was bowled out for 124 with YCW’s Levi Greenwood taking 3/19. Dromana’s Jeff Bluhm top scored with 39. In reply, the Stonecats, without Jason Bedford, are 1/33. Boneo needs 117 runs with nine wickets in hand in their match at Bo-
neo Reserve against Balnarring. Lachlan Barton top scored for Balnarring after they won the toss and batted first scoring 40, while Nathan Kleinig was next best with 24. Boneo skipper Leigh Janssen was unbelievable for his side picking up 8/52 off 29.2 overs. Boneo will resume this week at 1/1. Tyabb will need to be at its best this week with the bat to hunt down Car-
rum Downs’ total of 207. The Yabbies have made a great start however and will resume this week at 0/33. Kaden Latcham was solid with the ball for the Yabbies bowling 16 overs and finishing with 4/37. In the final match, Carrum has set Skye 181 for victory. Corey Hand scored 50 and Dillan Steed hit 42 to help Carrum to 180 off 75.5 overs. In reply, Skye is 0/13..
Greening wins FFA Cup tie in extra time SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie GOALSCORING legend David Greening led Somerville Eagles to a nailbiting FFA Cup upset over Balmoral at Somerville Secondary College on Saturday. The man dubbed “The Green Machine” scored in the 18th minute of extra time to give Somerville a 3-2 win over its more fancied State 4 opponent after scores were deadlocked at 2-2 after normal time. Balmoral started brightly and took the lead in the 26th minute with a decent strike from the edge of the box by Enver Malkic but Somerville levelled in the 35th minute via a long-range wind-assisted free kick from Greening which sailed over the head of Balmoral keeper Esar Corhodzic. Somerville dominated the second half with Bjorn Kutschera and Joel Wade shooting wide and Greening and Louis Griffiths being denied by Corhodzic. A quick break in the 57th minute saw Greening combining with Matt Curd whose cross enabled former Baxter striker Griffiths to open his account for his new club. But Balmoral hit back through Muamer Sosic in the 80th minute and Somerville keeper Brad Klarenbeek kept his side in the cup with a stunning save from a point-blank header in the 85th minute. Eagles’ fans were in disbelief when a Greening goal was controversially ruled offside shortly after forcing the contest into extra time. Greening’s moment of magic came in the second half of extra time when a superb through ball by Jarryd Lymer sent the Eagles’ player-coach clear and he cut in from the left before curling the ball into the far corner for the winner. Baxter lost 4-0 to Springvale City in their FFA Cup tie at Baxter Park on Saturday. A defensive blunder allowed Minas Leminded to open the scoring in the second minute. Baxter created chances but Liam Kilner and Ben Meiklem couldn’t get the breakthrough while a disputed offside decision denied Matt Morgan. Leminded grabbed a second on the break and when Adem Alicevic was put through and finished well to make it 3-0 the contest was as good as over by half-time. Baxter continued to fashion a series of chances in the second half but Leminded completed his hat-trick in the 70th minute and the home side’s afternoon was summed up by a glaring miss by Alan Lipsett in the final minute. Langwarrin and Goulbourn Valley Suns had to settle for a scoreless draw in their NPL2 clash at Lawton Park on Saturday. The scoreline masks the chances created by both sides and Langy keeper Robbie Acs and Goulburn counterpart Fraser Greenwood had fine games. Nevertheless, the contest cried out for a finisher and Langy duo Liam Baxter and John Kuol and Goulburn strikers Craig Carley and Bill Marshall had enough chances to settle the issue. A glancing header by Baxter from a near post corner in the 15th minute went close and Marshall blew a great chance to score in the 34th minute when he dummied cleverly inside the area then struck a firm shot from 10 metres that Acs reacted to superbly and parried. Carley got clear two minutes into the second half only to blast his shot well over and a crunch-

ing tackle on Langy right back Andy McLean in the 62nd minute sparked a melee in the centre of the pitch. A sweetly-timed strike from 25 metres by Callum Goulding forced Greenwood to tip over in the 76th minute and three minutes later the Goulburn custodian made his best save of the match when he was at full stretch down low to tip wide a Paul Speed free kick. In the 81st minute, Acs did well to tip over a close-range shot from Vani Shamoon and the last chance of the contest fell to Langy central defender Andy McIntyre whose ambitious overhead kick in the 91st minute sailed wide of the far post. Langy’s under-20s won the earlier match 1-0 with the decisive moment coming in the 54th minute when Travis Ernsdoerfer won the ball on the left of the area and squared it to Alexander Whyte for a tap-in. Cedric Benza has completed a two-match carryover suspension and will be available next weekend to face his old club Springvale White Eagles. Southern United’s NPLW season kicked off at Monterey Reserve on Sunday with the seniors losing 5-1 to Bayside United, which had signed most of Southern’s 2017 squad during a turbulent off-season. There were many positives to Southern’s display, not the least being the performances of goalkeeper Freya Crocker and defensive linchpin Natasha Dakic. Southern’s goal was spectacular thanks to
Nina Bucalo’s free-kick and the club is hopeful of signing another couple of players on the local market this week. The under-19s lost 5-0 but their heads never dropped and they continued to interpass with no fear of the scoreline. Haylea Porter scored for the under-16s in their 1-1 draw while Rhys McKenna, Alessandra Davis and Eden McKeown were on target in the under-14s’ 3-0 win. The under-12s lost 2-0. Mornington boss Adam Jamieson has been busy completing his first team squad for an assault on the State 1 South-East championship and has signed three players from the UK, one from the local market and has finally agreed terms with veteran striker Wayne Gordon. Sam Reeves is a left-sided player recommended by left-back Jack Truelove. Reeves had been playing in Perth, WA for the past few months. Andre Bennett, 24, is a defender or midfielder who was on the books of Middlesbrough and Gateshead and was signed from Bishop Auckland. He is a former teammate of Sammy Orritt and was also recommended by Mornington assistant coach Dale White who played with Bennett’s father Gary. He is due in Melbourne this week. Scottish midfielder Alexander White has agreed terms. The 25-year-old was on Dundee United’s books as a youth player and has played in the US on a
scholarship with Carson Newman University in Tennessee. Jamieson also has signed goalkeeper Steve Bayard from South Springvale. In State 2 South-East news Frankston Pines went down 4-3 to Brighton in a practice match at Monterey Reserve on Saturday. Ioasa Saemo (2) and Jack Carter scored for Pines and the club expects to sign Lewis Potter, CJ Hodgson, Graham Hill and Luke Murray this week. State 2 rival Peninsula Strikers takes on Mornington at Centenary Park tomorrow (Tuesday) at 7pm. Strikers announced bold plans late last year after appointing Andy O’Dell as senior coach with a brief to completely revamp the senior squad but it hasn’t been plain sailing. Aron Wilford, ex-Southern Stars, Bentleigh Greens, Oakleigh Cannons and St Kilda Celts, was announced as assistant player-coach last October and the big central defender was expected to play a pivotal role in the club’s promotion push. Not any more. There were issues over Wilford’s ability to train more than once a week and an inability to agree terms put paid to any prospective move. Central defender James Neighbour was set to make the switch to Strikers from State 2 NorthWest 2017 champion Altona City but was lured to Mazenod instead. Last November Strikers agreed terms with utility Marcus Slimane, 27, a former Altona City player who played at State 1 level with Caulfield United Cobras last season. Slimane was forced to pull out of the move when a job transfer sent him to Melbourne Airport. To make matters worse marquee striker Aziz Bayeh snapped an Achilles training with Heatherton United. On a positive note, the club has signed 26-yearold former Gretna and Carlisle United central defender Dean Rae who arrived from the UK last month. “Obviously I’ve got players coming but I’ve been burnt so I’m going to keep their names quiet,” said O’Dell. “It’s been a frustrating pre-season with players coming and going and people letting me down but we’ve made a big improvement and if everyone comes we’ll give it a big push.” In State 3 South-East news Seaford United agreed terms with attacking midfielder Matt Morris-Thomas last week. Morris-Thomas had been training with former club Frankston Pines. Seaford expects to make further player announcements next week. State 3 rival Skye United enhanced its promotion credentials with a 2-1 win over Brandon Park in a friendly at Waratah Reserve on Saturday. A Mark O’Connor free-kick and a Cameron Leopold header did the damage for Billy Armour’s outfit. Frankston Pines, Peninsula Strikers, Seaford United and Skye United go into the draw today (Monday) for the next round of the 2018 FFA Cup. Check your club’s social media pages for cup fixture details. This weekend’s league games: SATURDAY 5pm: Springvale White Eagles v Langwarrin (White Eagles Stadium). SUNDAY 2.30pm: Calder Utd v Southern Utd (Keilor Park Recreation Reserve).

Rock climbing talent on the up FRANKSTON and the Mornington Peninsula have quietly seen a rise in junior rock climbing talent. A Carrum Downs indoor climbing gym at Bayside Rock Climbing has become a base camp for state and national rock climbers with juniors as young as sixyears-old taking to the main stage to represent their state. With over 100 competitors taking part at the recent Victorian State Lead Climbing Titles (roped climbing) in Brunswick, the gym managed to take out three of the top four spots in the youth D category for climbers born after 2006. The gold medal was won by 11-yearold Kai Robertson, of Rye, with nineyear-old climber Tom Walkington, of Point Leo, and six-year-old climber Seb Johnson, of Frankston South, finishing in second and fourth positions respectively. The victory bought up Kai’s second Victorian title as he also claimed the state boulders title (short, technically hard climbs, without ropes, over crash mats) late last year. Kai’s father, Karl Bromelow said the boys did a great job with their climbs and that they were quite amazing to watch. “They always get the crowd going. They love to see the passion and perseverance in the boy’s climbs and they are doing stuff which would make most adults shy from,” Mr Bromelow said. “Seb is only six and is still in the junior program because he isn’t old enough to be in the development squad but without a doubt, he will eventually be there.” The gym which is owned by multiple national climbing champion James Kassay has got some of Australia’s up-andcoming junior rock climbing talent and Bromelow believes the gym and the fairly

young sport of rock climbing is ever ascending. “The gym provides more state and national champions than any other in Australia,” Mr Bromelow said. “It’s a very active scene in Victoria and the gym has the advantage of having one of the best coaches in the country.” National coach Will Hammersla coaches at the gym and has also recently made it into the final four for the Vicsport Young Volunteer of the Year awards. “I’m not surprised to see the young climbers from the gym perform well at the state and national level,” Mr Bro-
melow said. “It’s an exceptional gym and the management gives the kids every opportunity to excel. It’s quite extraordinary what is happening there.” “It’s critical that the sport is about enjoyment and it is intense but the kids are still having fun when climbing.” As well as training at the gym twice a week the boys are often travelling to the Grampians, climbing Mount Arapiles and head to Mt Macedon to practice outdoor climbing but they have also been doing some training down on the peninsula. “We are quite a way from the well-established rock formations but because we are explorers by nature we are often looking around the peninsula to find different places that we can practice bouldering and work on technique,” Mr Bromelow said. “We’ve found a few places along the peninsula which we go to a few times each week.” The boys, along with several other climbers from the gym’s development squad, are preparing for the National Lead Climbing Titles in May and will compete in some local competitions in the meantime. “Tom looks like he’ll be going to the nationals and Kai can if he wants to but it is up to him if he is ready to go interstate and compete as it’s held in Sydney,” Mr Bromelow said. “Indoor climbing makes its first appearance as an official sport at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics so maybe one day we will see the boys donning the green and gold.” Ben Triandafillou
Peak condition: Frankston Dolphins are set for their practice match against reigning VFL premiers Port Melbourne. Picture: Supplied
Dolphins keen for Port Melbourne clash FRANKSTON Dolphins will clash against the reigning 2017 VFL Premiers, Port Melbourne, in a friendly pre-season match on Saturday 24 March in support of the Light Up Autism foundation. It will be the Dolphins first home practise match for the season at the Frankston City Oval and will put on display the talent within their new list of players. Frankston Dolphins event coordinator Alan Wickes said it will be a huge day for the club as they’ll be able to see how they match up against a top club heading into their VFL return. “The team has trained very well and the new coach is doing a good job. We have a great team doing the physical fitness part of it and all reports are that
we will be competitive,” Wickes said. “Our side will be very keen to strut their stuff and Port Melbourne have had a turnover of trainers so we are hoping to get them on the hop.” The game kicks off at 3pm with two TAC Cup games also being played beforehand. The Oakleigh Chargers v the Eastern Ranges at 10.30am with the Northern Knights and Sandringham Dragons kicking off afterwards at 1pm. While entrance to the games is free, optional gold coin donations will go towards Light Up Autism as well as funds raised at the luncheon where former Hawthorn players Gary Buckenara and Gary Ayres will be speaking.

The 90th
RED HILL SHOW
The speed and agility of the fly dogs will astound! The Fly Dogs demonstration is a new edition to the show this year and the team at Four Paws Sports (4PS) will be showing us what their agile, clever dogs can do. It’s fun for spectators, dogs and handlers. Make sure you come and see Rodney and his Fly Dogs – run, jump, fetch and more. “We want more people and more dogs having fun, playing together”, commented Rodney. “Helping the handlers learn to better understand their four-legged companions and watching the dogs gain confidence is very rewarding. Crash Bandicoot (pictured right) is a 2yo Koolie from Australian Koolie Rescue. Quest, our other dog and Crash both love their dog sports and she fits in well with the 4PS philosophy of facilitating dogs to reach their potential”. Crash works for KONG and trains for Flyball, Canine Disc (UpDog), Dog Bar High Jump, Tricks and is loving life on the Mornington Peninsula.
A celebration of cider and the 90th for the CWA FOLLOWING the success of the inaugural cider show hosted by Max Allen last year, we are planning more demonstrations by our local cider makers and a public tasting of the award-winning ciders in show. We are thrilled to have local published foodie Richard Cornish back with us to MC the stage. Well known in the food scene as an independent writer and commentator on food issues and an affable and humorous host and presenter. The Country Women’s Association is also celebrating its 90th and continues to attract women from diverse backgrounds, ready to do their bit to make a big difference. The newest branch established last year up at Red Hill re-enforces this great work the CWA do. Mornington Peninsula Group President, Marnie Turner, said she was blown away by the response to the callout for women to stand up and make a difference in their local community. “Red Hill is rich with CWA history and it’s great to see these ladies coming together to ensure the legacy of the women who came before them, lives on.” The CWA will take centre stage at the Red Hill Show when the Fruit Cake judging commences at 10am or chat them at their show marquee.
