Showing the flag and erasing the date

SEVEN-year-old Obi, from Balnarring, noticed the difference in flag heights during Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association’s Change the Date event at Hastings, far left, while at Dromana, there was no hesitation shown by Australia Day revellers in waving and wearing the national flag.

THE passing of another Australia Day public holiday on Friday 26 January was marked across the Mornington Peninsula by private gatherings of friends, backyard barbecues and a few flag raising ceremonies, but none specifically held by Mornington Peninsula Shire. However, flags were raised at events partsponsored by the shire. The shire held an afternoon invitation-only citizenship ceremony in Rosebud’s Memorial Hall. At Hastings, the national flag was flown at half mast during a Change the Date event, although not at the direction of the event’s organisers, the Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association. “Aboriginal community members and nonIndigenous allies advocated for an alternative date to be chosen for Australia’s national day of celebration, one that was inclusive for all,” the association’s CEO Peter Aldenhoven said. “The consistent message from all speakers at the event [in Pound Road] was that a date celebrating the arrival of the First Fleet and portending all the damaging consequences of colonisation for First Nations’ Peoples must be changed. “Many elders spoke of their sadness and pain on this day and many non-Indigenous allies, including [Mornington Peninsula Shire] councillors Despi O’Connor and Sarah Race empathised with this heartfelt call for change.”

Potter sequel at the ballot box Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au WHILE Mornington Peninsula Shire might make box office money from allowing The Briars wildlife sanctuary to be used as a stage and backdrop for a Harry Potter show, it may cost councillors at the ballot box in October. With the Potter shows running from April to July, opponents of the shows are out for revenge and vowing to make sure the nightly shows remain fresh in voters’ memories. The Mornington Peninsula branch of The Greens is organising for protesters to attend the council’s Tuesday 6 February public meeting at Rosebud. The Greens also wants more infor-

mation on the deal, reminding councillors of their recent and repeated commitments to “transparency”. It is understood some councillors have been scrambling to find a way out of the contract but are hampered by fear of costly legal action. “Due to confidentiality obligations, we are unable to discuss the financial aspects of this event at this time,” the mayor Cr Simon Brooks told The News. Without disclosing any details of the financial deal, the shire has stated that it is “excited to have partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment, Fever and IMG to present Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience”. The shire’s website appears to be part of a

marketing plan, providing online links to ticket sellers. The shire’s Lobbying Policy, in part, states that its purpose is “to promote trust in the integrity of council processes and to ensure that lobbying is fair and does not undermine public confidence in impartial, open and transparent decision making”. “The transparency of council decisions, actions and information is to be ensured.” The shire’s claims that “the footprint of the event is roughly one per cent of the total Briars area and seven per cent of the sanctuary” may also be misleading. While the measurements might encompass the tracks to be trodden by the “audience”, no mention is made of the distance that the sounds

and lights of the show will travel. “The event will unlock significant lasting benefits, both for The Briars and the Mornington Peninsula more broadly,” the shire states on its website. It estimates “economic benefits to the broader region … in the order of $25 - $35 million”. “We care deeply about the peninsula’s wildlife and are committed to its welfare. That’s why we created a wildlife sanctuary at The Briars. We are confident measures we are putting in place will minimise any impact the event may have on wildlife.” A Deakin University-based research team believes the Potter show’s lights and artificial noises “has considerable potential to cause significant impacts on powerful owls (Ninox strenua) and

other wildlife”. The team’s two years of research has found a pair of endangered powerful owls “call The Briars home” and that they are “completely reliant on habitat within The Briars park”. “This particular territorial pair also happen to have successfully used an artificial nest box to breed the last couple of breeding seasons, which is an extremely rare circumstance” The powerful owls’ breeding season coincides with the Potter season and the research team says the use of a nesting box by the owls at The Briars “suggests that this pair are already under great stress from reduced critical habitat options and their use of a nest box must be treated with extra sensitivity considerations”.

Award wins: Pictured with the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council mayor Cr Simon Brooks (third from right) are Life Time Achievement

recipient Greg Fitzgerald, Citizen of the Year Nancy-Joy Gardner, Dromana Australia Day Committee chair Ray Robertson, vice-chair Alan

Trigg and secretary Julie Allen, Life Time Achievement recipient Bruce Foster Turner and Young Citizen of the Year Hannah O’Loghlin.

Awards for community’s most ‘outstanding’ MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council has recognised some of its most outstanding citizens and groups at the 2024 Australia Day local awards ceremony. Nancy-Joy Gardner was chosen as Citizen of the Year for her commitment to road safety over the past 25 years. Her nominator says, “Auntie Nance”, as she is often referred to, was someone who “shakes up her community and is a force to be reckoned with”, someone who “knows how to make events happen and get people involved”. Gardner has run road safety programs on the peninsula and south east Melbourne for 30 years with Wiser Driver Programs. Since 2016 she has run senior driver expos, to help older drivers improve their driving skills and knowledge of road rules. Gardner is a volunteer judge of junior awards for the Lions club and has been involved in the Sir Hubert Opperman Bicycle Education Competition for more than 20 years. The event encourages grades five and six students to show their bicycle skills and compete against other primary schools in a friendly environment. Gardner is a Justice of the Peace and a volunteer for the Coast Guard at Safety Beach. The mayor Cr Simon Brooks said

Gardner’s contribution to the peninsula was highly commendable. The Young Citizen of the Year, Hannah O’Loghlin, 16, has several volunteer roles in the community. For four years she was involved with the Mornington Peninsula Shire Youth Advisory Group, now known as the Youth Advisory Committee. In 2023 O’Loghlin was invited to apply for the 2023 Mornington Peninsula Shire Citizens Panel. The panel covered such issues as the open air burning local law, visitor paid parking trial, waste collection, urban forest strategy, safer speeds, and road safety. While on the panel O’Loghlin spoke about her experiences with the citizens’ panel at the Australian Local Government Women's Association national conference. She is also a Venturer with the Dromana, Rosebud, Red Hill, Sorrento Venturer unit, and is head of fundraising in her unit. She led a group of eight peninsula scouts at the 25th World Scout Jamboree, making sure they were covered and informed during the heatwave, looming typhoon, COVID outbreak and misconduct allegations at the event. O’Loghlin was recently recognised and interviewed for her efforts by Getrude Matshe, founder of HerStory Circle. O’Loghlin also volunteers with the Dromana Community Garden and the Country Women’s Association and

has leadership roles at her school. The 2024 Community Event of the Year award went to the Dromana Australia Day Event. The event has been running on the Dromana foreshore for 18 years and was attended by an estimated 7000 people last year. Originally started by the McCrae Lions Club with a free breakfast on the foreshore to celebrate Australia Day, it is now organised by the Dromana Australia Day Committee’s more than 30 volunteers. Sponsorship and donations are received from more than 50 sources, including the shire. The morning starts with a free community breakfast. There is live music, children’s entertainment and free activities including a giant slide, face painting, as well as displays by community groups, food vendors, announcement of the Ray Barnard Brown community youth awards, a boat shed competition and flag raising. The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Bruce Foster Turner, in recognition of his long service to the Rosebud RSL sub-branch. Turner joined the club in 1986 and became a member of the committee in 1987. He was vice-president in 2003 and has been president since 2013. Turner is credited with encouraging and developing a professional committee culture which led to the club’s first annual strategic planning

workshop in 2021. Since the introduction of gaming, Turner has been involved in hiring entertainers, as well as for commemoration events, such as Anzac Day with themed shows. An accredited tribunal advocates Turner has represented thousands of veterans and widows, while maintaining his status as the senior welfare officer in Rosebud. In 2022, Turner was inducted into the RSL hall of fame and awarded a life membership with gold bar in August 2023 for services to the RSL and the community. Greg Fitzgerald also received a Lifetime Achievement Award for his service to Rotary and the Dromana community. Fitzgerald joined Dromana Rotary Club in 2000 and has been president twice. He received a Paul Harris Fellow Award which recognises achievements in Rotary. He has lobbied the shire on behalf of Rotary many times to get things done around Dromana and was behind the building of barbecue shelters and picnic tables around the town with Rotary support for the football club and scouts. Fitzgerald got club members involved in the Hillview Reserve project and was the main driver in forming the Peninsula Mountain Bike Committee.

The reserve now has picnic spaces, a barbecue shelter, walking and bike tracks, toilet block and playground. Fitzgerald initiated the Town Crier Facebook page for Dromana news and events. He was also instrumental in establishing the Halloween event with bonfire and the Dromana Christmas decorations. He represents the club on the Bay Trail project and is lobbying for a walking track under the chairlift on Arthurs Seat. The Community Spirit Award was presented to Somerville Family Day, a volunteer-run event held each March. The event includes market stalls, rides, sporting clubs, community groups, scouts, Country Fire Authority and State Emergency Service, historic displays, food vendors, a car show and free children’s activities. Money raised is given to groups and associations in need. The event began in 2015 as a sausage sizzle to raise money for Auskick and now attracts more than 10,000 visitors a year. Since 2017, nearly $45,000 has been donated to various groups and causes like the Country Fire Authority, Tyabb Primary School and Somerville Secondary College, Somerville Community House, Nathan’s Cause, Breast Intentions, Somerville Bowls Club and other sporting clubs.

Southern Peninsula News

31 January 2024

IT IS impossible for most of us to imagine anything more painful than losing two children in their prime, but for one mother, reaching out to others has given her the strength to honour her sons and turn her grief into something positive. For Monique Story, the experience of losing her beloved son Quinn in 2021 at 16, and then a couple of years later her older son Hunter at almost 23, was paralysing. But inspiringly, that pain became the Mornington mum’s motivation to make sure young people struggling to fit in, or struggling to navigate the world in general, were supported in their journey. Story says the challenges of understanding who they are and where their future lies can be suffocating for young people, add to that the experience of COVID lockdowns, school stresses and mental health, and you have a crisis. Her much-loved, vibrant and intelligent son Quinn drowned at The Pillars in Mount Martha in 2021. A Coroner’s report in mid-2023 confirmed his death as being accidental but left many unanswered questions. Meanwhile, rather than letting herself be swept away with grief, Story focused on ways to help others. She started Quinn’s Place, a “hang out” space for young people to meet friends. There are activities - X-box and computers, free entertainment, chess, and free food and refreshments from local businesses - but there is also no obligation, some young people just “chill”, play computer games or jam on donated musical instruments. “I started this place because I know that young people often feel like they don’t fit in,

like they have no place to go, and they become isolated, unsupported and anxious, but when they come here there are people to talk to, no judgements, and plenty of do,” Story said. While still mourning her younger son, Story’s grief was compounded last year with the death of Quinn’s older brother, Hunter. Hunter had been taking medication for bipolar disorder but, after deciding he didn’t need it anymore, his depression and erratic behaviour returned, and he lost the battle with his demons and the will to live. Story is now more determined than ever that Quinn’s Place remains an inclusive, welcoming and supportive place for young people. “We get young people who find it hard to talk to people, or just want some space from the world, and that’s fine, but I do find that after a while they often come out of their shell enough to make friends and feel comfortable,” she said. “That’s what I love to see, I’ve seen kids blossom, and that’s what tells me that young people need support and when they get that support, they can shine. “Sometimes it has taken a lot of courage for them to actually walk in the door, but because of the friendly, relaxed vibe, they usually come back.” As another way of dealing with her grief and helping others, Story has published a book, The Quinn Story, a brave and honest account of Quinn’s battle with PTSD, peer pressure, the trials of being a teenager, and psychosis. It is available at Farrell’s book store in Main Street, Mornington, and Wickety Wax in Mornington. Quinn’s Place has been closed for the summer break, but opens again on Friday 2 February, at 8 Drake Street, Mornington, from 6pm to 10pm.

Rally to revive hospital ORGANISERS of the Rosebud Hospital rally on Wednesday (24 January) are hoping the large turnout of community members will convince politicians, business entities and philanthropic donors to support the hospital being redeveloped. One of the organisers, Jo Gilbert, said the turn-

out had been a massive show of support for the hospital and backed the argument for the need to keep it in the local community. “We heard stories from people who have relied on it, and we heard how important it is to the community, we just need the government to listen,” she said.

Space for art, but not on the Moon

VICKI Sullivan’s Moon Goddess was sent aboard a rocket to the Moon. Picture: Daniel Haritos

FOR 10 days earlier this month it seemed there was no limit to the heights Vicki Sullivan’s art would reach. Tucked safely in a time capsule aboard a lander being carried upwards by a Vulcan rocket, the digitised artworks seemed destined to be among the first to land on the Moon. However, although Sullivan’s works made it into space, they also made it back to a fiery end on reentering Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. Technical problems saw the Astrobotic’s Peregrine Mission 1 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida with the Artists on the Moon or Annex 9, exhibition fail to make its planned Moon landing (Art destined to be out of this world, The News 9/1/24). “Peregrine Mission One has concluded. We look to the future and our next mission to the Moon, Griffin Mission One,” the project’s organisers Canadian physicist, entrepreneur, and storyteller Dr Samuel Peralta and art publisher Didi Menendez, posted online on 20 January. Sullivan is just as optimistic, saying she was the first women with their art in space and the first Australians, “so that’s pretty cool”. Rather than burning up, she felt it would have been “more romantic to drift around in space”. “There are more launches planned and I have quite a few more pieces in those.”

THE Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula has members from business and not-for-profit groups. Picture: Supplied

Hear candidates over breakfast TWO of the candidates for the Saturday 2 March Dunkley byelection will speak at the next breakfast meeting of the Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula on Thursday 1 February. The meeting from 7.30am at Commonfolk Mornington will be the second breakfast meeting for the newly merged group, which provides “strategic leadership, advocacy and influence to help attract government support and investment in the regions”. The two Dunkley candidates are Labor’s Jodie Belyea and Liberal Nathan Conroy, the mayor of Frankston. CEO Josh Sinclair said the committee’s new not-for-profit member, Fusion Mornington Peninsula, will make a presentation about youth homelessness in the region.

Fusion provides accommodation and support for young people experiencing homelessness between the ages of 15 and 21. “They have a special presence in our Frankston and Mornington Peninsula community, and the committee will be supporting Fusion where we can throughout the course of this year,” Sinclair said. The event will provide an important opportunity for businesses and community leaders to learn more about Fusion’s work and what the community can all do to support their efforts. Sinclair said the Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula was planning a full calendar of meets for 2024, including a Future Forum on 16 April to discuss with industry and civic leaders what Frankston and the peninsula “looks like” in two decades time.

“Your jewellery maybe worth more than you think!”

ONE DAY ONLY! Wed 7th February 2024 - 11AM to 3PM ROSEBUD BOWLS CLUB 952 Point Nepean Rd, ROSEBUD

‘Spy cameras’ on wrong track TENSIONS are again running high among users of the closed Beleura cliff path at Mornington because of “spy cameras” installed by Mornington Peninsula Shire. The CCTV cameras have been installed to catch anyone cutting or damaging the wire barricades across the path. The path was closed on 1 September 2022 after a “minor rock fall” but Save Our Cliff Path convenor Peter Nicholson said walkers would have noticed water flows that caused a “serious landslip” one month later. The repair bill for that incident has been put at $1.5 million. Nicholson said money spent on installing the “spy cameras” would have been better spent “fixing drainage issues” blamed for the instability of the cliff. “The shire should build temporary detours with low cost materials round each of the two landslip areas, and reopen the path,” he said. “This would be safer, convenient, and save money. Closing the path makes it impossible to monitor drainage issues as they arise. “The shire wants to ensure the path is closed for safety and insurance liability reasons. You can only use the path if you are given a key to the locks on the end barricades.” Residents of the area and other “keen path users” regarded the “spy cameras” as being an infringement of personal rights and a waste of money.

The Guide TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

SUNDAY

AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR

TEN, 7.30pm

FRIDAY

GARDENING AUSTRALIA

For its ninth season, Australian Survivor is back in Samoa, after two instalments ﬁlmed domestically, and heading back to its roots. You will not have spied a famous face in either of the two tribes, with 24 brand new players and “ordinary, everyday Australians” making up the Titans and Rebels. The Titans are overachievers and leaders in their ﬁeld while the Rebels are those used to forging their own paths, who aren’t scared of breaking a rule or two. Host Jonathan LaPaglia (pictured) is again guiding the players through challenges and tribal councils, while, back at camp they are creating alliances, while individually aiming to “outwit, outplay and outlast” the others.

ABC TV, 7.35pm

Can you believe Gardening Australia will be celebrating its 35th season this year? A staple of the ABC’s Friday night lineup, the infectious energy and glorious beard of host Costa Georgiadis (pictured) has ensured the past few seasons have been among the very best of the show, with a successful spin-oﬀ for kids (Gardening Australia Junior) launched last year. Season 35 kicks oﬀ with Costa heading north to tour the grounds of Queensland’s incredibly popular Woodford Folk Festival.

SATURDAY

DARBY AND JOAN

ABC TV, 7.30pm

As laconic and laidback as a mystery series could be, Darby and Joan has proven a tremendous showcase for stars Bryan Brown (pictured) and Greta Scacchi, who play retired detective Jack Darby and English nurse Joan Kirkhope. The pair join forces to solve a range of baﬄing small town mysteries in rural Queensland. Tonight, even a fun occasion like New Year’s Eve turns into a crime to solve for Jack and Joan when a huge blaze breaks out in a pub.

SATURDAY

THE FIFTH ELEMENT

NITV, 8.30pm

Suffice to say French filmmaker Luc Besson likes his characters off-centre; in this case it’s 250 years beyond the present, with a NY cab driver (Bruce Willis) and a mysterious waif (Milla Jovovich) racing against the clock to save the world from evil. The visuals, from Jean-Paul Gaultier’s eccentric costumes to intricately detailed sets and panoramas, are dazzling and plentiful. It’s good versus evil presented with visionary gusto and not just special effects.

Shame on councillors who backed Potter show As the secretary and active member of the Mornington Peninsula Schools Environment Week for many years, I would like to add my expression of alarm and absolute amazement at Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s recent deal with Warner Brother’s Harry Potter Show at The Briars. The current shire councillors have totally disregarded the claim to be an environmentally sensitive council and certainly lack credibility now when it comes to promoting the peninsula as an environmental model in Victoria. What were they thinking when they signed this secret agreement? It has to be related to money grabbing or some grand idea that it would be promoting our shire. The Briars is a special asset for the peninsula and the natural setting as such should be preserved. Our Environment Week teachers and many voluntary helpers were so pleased and proud to be able to run the activities at a special location like The Briars. Over the years we helped students from all schools on the peninsula who benefitted from the many experiences during Environment Week in such a setting. At the time our shire representatives were very involved in the program and appreciated our efforts to promote environmental awareness in the wider community. Our councillors, as a whole, should be ashamed of themselves over this issue and let us hope that they will be more thoughtful when next confronted with an issue that involves a commercial venture conflicting with environmental issues. Terry Boyce, Mount Martha

Move Potter show The Greens Mornington Peninsula branch is aghast at the decision by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to engage with Warner Bros to use The Briars wildlife reserve, the only fenced sanctuary on the peninsula, and home to diverse habitat systems that support endangered species, as a venue for an inappropriate interactive Disney event, expected to have 3000 participants daily from April through to July. There are two startling deviations from the council’s duty of care: 1.This decision shows a lack of adherence by council to commitments articulated in the shire’s policies on protecting flora and fauna and ecologically sensitive sites. This event must be transferred to a different site to be in line with the shire’s biodiversity and conservation policies. 2. Most importantly, we have significant concerns around the lack of consultation and transparency and the secrecy around contractual arrangements with Warner Bros. The nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) councillors were asked to sign during negotiations are an affront to residents. All but two councillors signed these and some information around the event is not on the record for residents to view. It shuts the door in the face of ratepayers, keeping them in the dark. Mitigation statements made by the council are ill-informed and a FoI request has been made to release the risk assessment and impact on environment reports to check the qualifications of those giving that advice. The Greens will target those councillors who signed the NDAs and approved of the event at The Briars. We will join other groups and individuals to oppose this and garner community awareness and support to stop this event occurring at this venue. The Greens Mornington Peninsula denounces this council for this decision that has been undertaken and will actively discourage residents and visitors from purchasing tickets. James Kilby, convenor, The Greens Mornington Peninsula branch

Review shire revenue A few months ago, quite rightly, and with considerable community support, Mornington Peninsula Shire rejected an application to develop a theme park on private property in the hinterland near Cape Schanck on Boneo Road as being inappropriate. In complete contrast, we find the shire, in sworn secrecy behind closed doors, last year agreed to multiple sound and light show night events in the

Parking revenue

Act on climate now

So now we have to pay to enjoy some time at Mornington Park and at the pier (Fines find their mark at foreshore car parks, The News 23/1/24). Some people are paying but many are going elsewhere. The bus loads that came to the area for a day out and bring business to the Main Street shops won’t happen anymore as buses have to pay as well, and the driver will have to pay for that out of his own pocket. Over the months of December and January, $178,000 in fees and $20,000 in fines have been collected. Where will this money go? Here’s an idea: Put all this cash towards a set of traffic lights so people can enter and exit The Briars without playing the dangerous game of Russian roulette from cars coming down the hill from both directi ons. Greg Cooke, Hastings

More and more Australians realise that biodiversity is being lost and climate change is putting life as we know it at risk. In 2023, for example, 144 Australian animals, plants and ecological communities were added to the national endangered species list, five times more than the yearly average and double the previous record year (2009). Eighty threatened species, 20 critically endangered, survive on the Mornington Peninsula. The Australian Conservation Foundation puts the increase down primarily to habitat loss through ongoing land clearing that has escaped ineffective national environment laws. [Federal environment and water minister] Tanya Plibersek has committed to announce stronger laws this year. Given the Mornington Peninsula’s near 200 kilometres of coastline, one correspondent’s concern about sea level rise is valid (Limit climate change, Letters 23/1/24). A new CSIRO report, the Port Phillip Bay Coastal Hazard Assessment, has increased the estimated “upper-end projection” of sea level rise by the year 2100 from 0.8 metres in 2008 to 1.4 metres. The report shows that Dromana and Martha Cove are the most affected in the shire. While some may dismiss the CSIRO report, arguing that 2100 is too far away, a more responsible option is to embrace the cautionary principle and act now. The best action is to stop dumping greenhouse gases into our atmosphere and oceans. The world, including us, must phase out fossil fuels and transition fast to clean renewables. Ray Peck, Hawthorn

wildlife sanctuary at The Briars. Apparently, it was thought pathways through a fenced off forest setting would be an ideal location. This council-approved event will go on every night for two months from April with expected numbers of around 3000 a night. Terrified wildlife which can die from fear, traffic jams at the dangerous Point Nepean/Uralla Road intersection, soil compaction which takes years to recover, are all inevitable - not to mention the nightly disturbance to locals living around The Briars and their equally traumatised pets. Whether you are a rare powerful owl, a wallaby or an elderly retiree in the neighbourhood with a shitzu scared of thunderstorms - fancy having a New Year’s Eve fireworks and light show going off every night for 60 days? The community and many volunteers worked for years in good faith to establish The Briars as a wildlife sanctuary. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of ratepayers’ money was spent on consultants for a management plan and a financial feasibility study - both presumably in operation but now disregarded. Understandably, this decision is a slap in the face. If the shire is in financial trouble, a review of internal operations, pay rates commensurate with performance, contracts and decisions about spending our rates dollars is warranted – not a money grabbing, opportunistic fire sale of a unique and important wildlife sanctuary and community asset like The Briars. Esther Gleixner, Flinders

After raising issues in your article about making Mornington Peninsula roads safer, there has been much public support and many reports to me about our most dangerous local roads (Don’t limit speed cuts - Gill, The News 16/1/24). The answer to improving roads may be a community advocacy campaign to the state government and local MPs who ignore any discussion about speed limits and roadwork funding, especially when in government. All public roads are controlled by the state government, even council designated roads. Council must have government approval for speed changes and all works. This often takes years. In the meantime, the state’s 2023 road death toll was the highest in 15 years. David Gill, councillor Red Hill Ward, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council

Turn to safety

Change direction

It has taken the Briars Potter show to again highlight the urgent need for improvement at the dangerous intersections of Nepean Highway with Uralla Road and Forest Drive, Mount Martha (Road risks warning over Potter shows. The News 23/1/24). Where is the sensible thought or concern by the state government and or Mornington Peninsula Shire? Do we need fatalities, statistics, to have something seriously done? More than five to six years ago a survey was undertaken by the authorities asking for input to formulate a strategy to improve these intersections. Nothing has happened - maybe a few white lines were painted at the time. That was progress. As for the Uralla Road and The Briars intersections, if only left turns out of these roads were implemented, with some nailed in place kerbs to prevent right turns, this would alleviate gross and dangerous incidents. Still allow right turns from Nepean Highway into these roads. Some delineation with kerbing, as these intersections both ways are at the bottom of quite steep hills change the speed limit to 60kpm, and actively enforce it. None of the above is hard to do or costs a lot of money. I firmly believe it will make those area safer until a more permanent solution is implemented which, at the current authorities’ pace, could be light years away. Do it now. The inconvenience of only being able to turn left is a very small imposition to making an intersection safe. Gerard van de Ven, Mount Martha

We have progressively moved away from a democracy that is rule by the consent of the governed to an elite administrative class that simply passes the baton back and forth; councillors to CEO, CEO to councillors, Liberal to Labor and Labor back to Liberal, with no real accountability. All levels of government have insulated themselves from accountability by their politicised bureaucracies and agencies. A New Left, evident by 1965, rebelled against the restrictions and order that flourished during the flush of manufacturing after WWII. This New Left championed social justice of a nonjudgmental kind and acceptance of minorities, equal recognition and equal self-esteem. It ushered in a sexual cultural liberation accepted by the population, but which today has gone way too far taking fringe element ideology into our schools where it definitely doesn’t belong. It was believed these changes would give freedoms leading to happiness. Instead, these changes have brought division in society of all kinds, insecurity causing anxiety and suicides, and generally great unhappiness. All this indicates society needs a new direction. It is time for a massive decentralisation of power and control. We are intelligent, by nature compassionate and perfectly capable of living together in harmony, accepting of one another’s differences and life choices. The way forward is equal rights for all; special privileges for none. If people think we are living in a democracy, we need to think again. Looking at our council’s secret decision-making behind closed doors, which, until [former Premier Daniel] Andrews changed the rules, wasn’t allowed, is plain evidence we no longer are. From our councils and governments we require impartial decisions for the good of the whole, proper representation, proper accountability with authority going back to consent of the governed. Monica Martini, Mornington

Drivers ‘slow learners’ What an interesting article quoting Peninsula Community Legal Centre CEO Jackie Galloway on battlers struggling to pay fines (Unpaid fines add to ‘disadvantaged’ fines, The News 16/1/24). The quoted “average fine debt” is $13,000. This equates to exceeding the speed limit on 34 occasions and, I believe, gives the lie to Ms Galloway’s claim that her clients “want to do the right thing”. The time to do the right thing is when you’re behind the wheel. Doing the right thing is not endangering others, not putting lives at risk, not imperilling kids on bikes. PCLC’s clients must be mighty slow learners if they don’t get the message after the first couple of fines. Do the crime, pay the fine. Andrew Gibson OAM, Pt Leo

Government input

Poo result I’ve seen this many times. Some dog walkers pick up their dog’s poo in a plastic bag. Considerate. Good. But they drop the bag beside the path. Why? Do they think there’s a dog poo fairy who picks it up later? I suggest they train the dog to put the bag in the bin. Why do I write this? Dunno. Will they read it? Nope. Warwick Spinaze, Tootgarook

Thank you, Des Berry Unsung heroes go around their local communities and get up to all sorts of often dirty and even dangerous jobs such as cleaning off graffiti, removing roadkill, picking up rubbish or dropping discarded containers into recycling bins. I would like to bring readers’ attention to the president of Mount Eliza Association For Environmental Care, Des Berry, who recently resigned due to ill health. His leadership and commitment to Australian flora and fauna in the Mount Eliza community has been outstanding. Mount Eliza’s landscape would have been very much poorer without his stalwart, longterm leadership. He has helped protect our threatened beaches and their approaches, replaced introduced European invasive weeds with Australian flora, and improved the general health of feeder creeks and water catchments. His work with MEAFEC teams on our reserves has been outstanding, including in Ranelagh Estate as well as the Woodland and Kunyung areas. As a member of Mount Eliza-based South Eastern Centre for Sustainability, the other active environmental group in our town, I also speak for the group and our chair, Steven Karakitsos, in recording our appreciation and respect for Des’s contribution to our community over many years. With the stepping down of such an important member of our community, I hope more residents can give of their time and support the two hard-working committees and members to enhance our precious Mount Eliza for future generations. Ian Morrison, convenor, Mount Eliza Community Alliance

Political affiliations It is good to see that Frankston mayor and now candidate for Dunkley has come clean that he is a Liberal. When he runs in the Frankston Council elections he runs as an independent. The Victorian government should have laws that if candidates run for council then they must state very clearly if they are members of political parties. Interest rates will be an issue in the Dunkley by-election and will the Labor candidate Jodie Belyea tell us why Treasurer Jim Chalmers is revoking his power to override the Reserve Bank on interest rate hikes which gives the Reserve Bank and banks a free ride to stop cash and hike interest rates and also tell the Dunkley electorate the fact that Jim Chalmers was once a CEO of the ANZ Bank and that is why he is giving the away his power to intervene in Reserve Bank decisions.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Overhanging trees on road a danger to traffic signs of rough usage, caused by contact with ti-tree. A dangerous spot on the Frankston side of Mile Bridge was noticed where the scrub obscures a proper view of the road. Another dangerous point exists at the junction of Gould Street and the main road. While traversing Gould Street Mr. Jacobs was fortunate enough to meet Cr. Mason, who was out with his motor car. Cr. Mason, while promising to bring Mr. Jacobs’ complaints before the Council, warned him that there would probably be strong opposition on the part of the residents to any proposal to cut back the ti-tree in Gould Street. Mr. Jacobs said that the motor traffic in Gould Street, particularly on Saturdays, was heavy, and the narrow roadway, and vehicles passing at certain points, did so only at the risk of serious accident. Mr. Jacobs indicated that his motto was “safety first,” and he was not at all pleased that the Shire Engineer – to whom he had complained – had not taken action to remove many of the overhanging trees. From what Cr. Mason said, the matter of cutting back the trees will come up for discussion at the next Council meeting. *** MR. Murray, contractor for the fine additions to the Frankston School, was unable to have the rooms ready for occupation at the beginning of the school year. The delay was due to a shortage of special materials, over which Mr. Murray had, no control.

Compiled by Cameron McCullough “SAFETY first,” is what Mr. M. Jacobs, cab proprietor, believes in. The remark originated owing to the question of cutting the overhanging trees. The matter will come up for discussion probably at the next meeting of the Council. Yesterday Mr. Morris Jacobs, the well known Frankston cab proprietor, called at “The Standard” office and invited the Editor to spare 10 minutes to take a drive along Melbourne Road. Mr. Jacobs’ request was not prompted by anxiety to give the Editor a “breather” from the grind of office routine. He simply wished to demonstrate that cause existed for the complaint he has been voicing for some months past, that the scrub overhanging the highway in question renders vehicular traffic unsafe, and constituted a menace to the general public. Mr. Jacobs was driving his large covered-in cab, and after passing the Honor Avenue, it soon became evident, from a position on the front scat, that the encroaching scrub in places badly required attention. The limbs of some of the trees overhung the road to such an extent that it was impossible to drive Mr. Jacobs’ high-hooded vehicle on that particular side of the road. Mr. Jacobs stated that very frequently he found himself placed in a very awkward and dangerous position owing to the motor traffic. The approaching motorists expected him to give them their fair share of the road, and it was not always possible to do so, owing to overhanging trees. The hood of his vehicle bore many

It is expected that the building will be completed early next week. *** AT the Frankston school assembly, after the holidays, the head-master presented the prizes donated by Mr. Robert Fairnie, for dux of grade 6, to Miss Clara Holt. These consisted of a fine gold medal brooch and a valuable Morocco bound volume of A. L. Gordon’s poems. Hearty cheers were given for Mr. Fairnie for his liberality and public spirit, and to the clever winner. *** IT is with deep regret that we as certain that our highly esteemed citizen and friend, Captain S. Sherlock, J.P., recently met with a very serious accident. He had been attending a sick horse, which was well on the road to recovery, when by some means or other the worthy vet received a severe kick, which was both painful and dangerous. We understand, however, that he is making good progress towards recovery. This paper extends its sympathy to him, and prays for his speedy recovery, as we know do all those with whom the kindly disposed gentleman comes in contact. *** THE many friends of Mr. Tom Lawrey, of Cranbourne Road, Frankston, will be sorry to hear that he has been suffering from a very severe attack of ptomaine poisoning. We understand, however, that the worst has been passed, and that he is now on the mend. We wish him a speedy restoration to health.

*** DR. Torpy, of Brisbane, who is on a visit to Victoria, visited Frankston this week. In conversation with a friend, whom he met here, he declared that before leaving Queensland he had been told to make a special trip to the “Fernery,” at Frankston, whilst in Victoria, as it was certainly worth while. Therefore, added the doctor, I came, and am indeed delighted at having done so. As my friend correctly said, the visit was worth while. *** MR. and Mrs. W. Cattanach have been staying at the Tower Golf House, Frankston, have now returned to their home. *** VISCOUNT Leverhulme, of Lever Bros. Ltd., England, who is at present visiting Melbourne, was one of the guests at the “Fernery” on Monday last, on the occasion of the annual picnic of the office staff of J. Kitchen and Sons, Melbourne. The distinguished visitor was loud in his praises of the beautiful surroundings, which even the inclement weather could not mar. *** A DEPUTATION from the Frankston Shire Council waited upon the Chair man of the Railway Commissioners today, to endeavour to get some relief for the passengers who travel by the 5.50 p.m. down train, a full report of which will appear in our next issue. *** DURING the rain storm on Saturday a large iron tank, on the premises of Mr. W. H. O’Grady, burst with a loud explosion. Fortunately no one was near it at the

Dart finds his target, Dromana batters star By Brodie Cowburn

Big day with the bat: Kiefer Peries hit a solid 75 off 97 balls to steer Somerville to a win against Mornington with one wicket down. Picture: Alan Dillon

PROVINCIAL

A MATCH-winning century from Simon Dart proved the difference as Red Hill wrapped up a thrilling final over victory last weekend. Red Hill played Baden Powell at Red Hill Recreation Reserve in oneday cricket. The visitors were sent in to bat first, and put 215 runs on the board. A knock of 91 from 88 deliveries by Rhys Elmi was the highlight of Baden Powell’s innings. Opener Travis Kellerman also scored 66 from 87 before being dismissed by Dart. After Red Hill fell to 2/33, Simon Dart came in and dominated. He scored an unbeaten 106 at a run a ball. Time was working against Red Hill, but they managed to stay in contention. A late knock of 34 from 24 by Glenn Collett and a boundary by vicecaptain Brent Martin helped drag them to victory. Red Hill hit the winning runs with just one ball left to spare. Langwarrin’s 168 runs proved enough to beat Heatherhill last weekend. Heatherhill’s run chase got off to a poor start when opener Neil Barfuss was dismissed for a golden duck. The wickets of the top three batters were taken off the bowling of Trav Campbell. After 40 overs Heatherhill ended up on 8/150. Sorrento scored a 28 run win at home against Pines on Sunday. Old

wicket victors over Mornington away from home last weekend. Moorooduc and Rosebud rounded out the winner’s list with victories over Baxter and Mt Eliza respectively.

DISTRICT

Peninsula were comfortable winners over Long Island.

BOBBY Wilson and Sam Fowler combined for a brilliant 206 run partnership last Sunday to help Dromana defeat Seaford Tigers. Dromana batted first and set the Tigers a mammoth target to reach. Opener Sam Fowler scored 90 from

101 deliveries and first drop batter Wilson scored 124 from 98. Dromana scored 259 from their 40 overs. The Tigers were valiant in defeat. They managed to put 207 runs on the board, but were eventually bowled out. Bobby Wilson backed up his batting with figures of 3/28. Somerville were dominant nine-

A BRAVE knock of 91 by Blake Hogan-Keogh wasn’t quite enough for his Crib Point side to get the win over Carrum. Carrum batted first on Sunday and made a big impact. Off the back of half-centuries from openers Josh Dent and Shaun Foster, Carrum went on to score 3/223. Crib Point worked hard, but couldn’t complete the run chase. Blake HoganKeogh and Tyler Wilton did their best, but ended up falling 38 runs short. Carrum Downs bowled brilliantly to defend a total of 158 on Sunday. The Cougars bowled Balnarring out for 92. Around the grounds, Seaford were

seven-wicket winners over Flinders at RF Miles Reserve and Main Ridge bested Delacombe Park at Ditterich Reserve.

SUB DISTRICT

RYE picked up a big win over Boneo last weekend. Rye opener Nathan Hunt starred for his side, scoring 111 runs. He hit 15 boundaries - four of them sixes. Rye went on to score 239 runs. They wrapped up the win by bowling Boneo out for 144. Mt Martha took just 17 overs to chase down Frankston YCW’s target of 113 last weekend. Ballam Park also had little trouble chasing down Skye’s total of 127. A 118-run partnership between Tootgarook batters Travis French and Matthew Whelan secured them a nine-wicket win over Tyabb. Hastings beat Pearcedale by 53 runs away from home to close out the round.

WOMENS

THE final round of the home-andaway season in the women’s division will take place this Sunday. After a one week break, Mt Eliza hosts Delacombe Park at Emil Madsen Reserve. Tyabb will host Rye and Flinders is set to play Seaford Tigers at BA Cairns Reserve. Somerville and Balnarring will play home matches against Crib Point and Tooradin respectively.

Major makeover at Monterey SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie IT’S the largest senior squad makeover on the peninsula and the Donn Delaney revolution at Frankston Pines continues apace. The former Peninsula Strikers head man has confronted a huge player exodus at Monterey Reserve and has responded with a recruitment drive the size of which is rarely seen in local ranks. So far 19 players from other clubs have been brought into the senior squad and there will be more. “The squad is by no means finalised,” Delaney said. “But I’ve been really impressed so far and the club has been very welcoming and inclusive of everyone who has come here. “Lee (Davies, club president) is very keen to start something sustainable and community focused and it’s a joy to be a part of it. “I’m feeling the pressure to do this club proud.” One of Delaney’s biggest signings so far is 23-year-old striker Ardi Ahmeti who has an impressive NPL background at both junior and senior levels. His CV outlines his four seasons as a junior with South Melbourne. Of Kosovan background Ahmeti has trained with the Kosovan under16s and in his late teens went to Portugal where he signed a contract with AD Oliveirense. A loan spell with FC Boca Gibraltar followed until COVID hit prompting his return to Australia. He signed a one-year deal with Eastern Lions before stints with Dandenong City and North Sunshine Eagles. Ahmeti took time off from the sport to go on holiday last year until close friend Deniz Karabadzak convinced him to give Pines a try. “I was sceptical at first because I didn’t think Pines was in a good position as a club but I trust Deniz and he explained that there was a good environment there and there were good people at the club which is the most important thing. “I went down there and from the first session I liked it.” So much so that Ahmeti convinced goalkeeper Kadir Puric, defender Alan Fogel and midfielder Mehdi Hussaini to join him at Monterey Reserve. Hussaini, 27, was with Rowville Eagles last season having previously played with Brandon Park and Hume United.

And for Pines fans wondering how the club will fare following last season’s relegation to State 3 Ahmeti has very encouraging news. “I have full belief that this club can get promoted and I have full belief in Donn,” Ahmeti said. “I think we only need a couple more recruits then what happens this season will be in our own hands but I’m very confident that we can do well.” Here is the current senior squad (new players have their most recent club in brackets): GOALKEEPERS: Kadir Puric (Waverley Wanderers), Enzo Spinelli (Mount Eliza). DEFENDERS: Marcelo Burgos (Keysborough), Deniz Karabadjak, Brody Varas, Alexis Andrade (Alianza Petrolera FC, Colombia), Alan Fogel (Port Melbourne Sharks), Bryce Ruthven (Mount Eliza), Tom Kandilas (Kingston City), Gabrielle Duque, Joshua Koncha. MIDFIELDERS: Calvin Delaney (Peninsula Strikers), Samuel Delaney (Peninsula Strikers), Callum Bradbury (Peninsula Strikers), David Popa (Mount Eliza), Yodish Jagatheson (Mount Eliza), Jack Bradbury (Peninsula Strikers), Junior Mpota (Peninsula Strikers), Reshad Nahimzada (Mazenod), Medhi Hus-

saini (Rowville Eagles). FORWARDS: Cassius Delaney (Peninsula Strikers), Abraham Koul (Peninsula Strikers), Ardi Ahmeti (North Sunshine Eagles). Pines lost 3-1 to Chelsea at Monterey Reserve last week as the State 4 visitors continued their impressive pre-season form. Ahmeti and a few of his teammates were recovering from injury and sat this one out as Chelsea’s English striker James Stinson continued to impress with another double. He’s now scored five goals in three pre-season games. Jake Ross, another recent recruit, also scored against Pines who replied through Sam Delaney. Teenage Chelsea winger Kirsten Murray really caught the eye. A product of the club’s junior program Murray played wide on the right and was effective. “He’s only 16 and he’s got tremendous pace,” Chelsea head coach Gus Macleod said. “I’m encouraging him to take people on and he’s definitely one for the future.” In VPL1 news Langwarrin has released midfielders Jin Jeong and Carlos Abboud while Kameel Khan, Owen

Murphy and Allen Dzemidzic have been promoted to the senior squad. Khan and Murphy were in the under21s last season. Dzemidzic left Langy and joined Oakleigh Cannons last season where he took out the league’s Golden Boot honours at Under-21 level. In State 5 news Rosebud has resigned star defender Dougie Cunnison. The former Keilor Park captain and Clifton Hill player is expected to form a central defensive partnership with Billy Painting who was recruited from Skye United.
