Farmer’s plea for security Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FARMER Eddie Matt is leading the push by Mornington Peninsula farmers for easier access to Class A treated water going into the sea from the South East Outfall near Gunnamatta. His irrigated grazing and lucerne property at Rye has produced only half last year’s yield of hay and silage because of a lack of water, but he still faced the same high water and diesel overheads. “If you have got water you have got security,” he said. “In the peninsula hinterland there is no water and if the pasture is dry there is no feed and the hay is of poor quality.” President of the peninsula branch of the Victorian Farmers’ Federation and a member of the advisory council to South East Water, Mr Matt said accessing the outfall’s water was “an idea that’s got to be realised”. “If a drought was declared it would give the project more impetus,” he said. Mr Matt said South East Water was aware of the Hinterland Environmental Water Scheme (HEWS), in which Class A recycled water from the Eastern Treatment Plant would be piped in for horticulture at Red Hill, Main Ridge, Dromana, Merricks, and Balnarring. (“Making water supply a poll issue” The News 12/3/19). “It is expensive and would need a business case, but it should get up,” he said. The authors of the HEWS, Steve Marshall and Russell Joseph, are pushing for bipartisan support to pay for feasibility studies and design of a system to use the 350 million litres of treated waste water now going daily into the sea. Mr Joseph says a draft report into using the water “showed we can preserve our farming hinterland for generations to come with a genuine green wedge compatible agricultural industry built on a sustainable water supply”. He said the project would “develop a drought and climate change resistant water supply to guarantee our ongoing local horticultural production and provide a secure water supply for firefighting”. Co-author Steve Marshall, who runs Peninsula Avocados, said the HEWS would provide an “unlimited and cost effective solution and will transform agriculture for a range of crops right across our region”. “Shire calls for drought aid” Page 7

to prepare and lead show exhibits in the ring. Confidently, she entered her sixmonth-old miniature bull at the 2003 Red Hill Show, but success was still far away. “It was a tiny little thing and the judges laughed and I left the ring in tears.” But, watching on, a wise old breeder
from Balnarring saw potential. He suggested she enter the Royal Melbourne Show, which was only three months away. She took his advice, and the more-mature bull was judged grand champion. “He won everything there,” she said. “He beat 37 other miniatures.” More importantly, Ms Hunder
admits she was “hooked” on the experience. While struggling at times, especially after she split from her husband and moved to Dromana intending to sell off her cattle, Ms Hunder realised she loved them too much and kept them at Balnarring, driving over every day to feed them.

BITTERN’S Patrice Hunder is writing her own chapter in the book of animal husbandry. There are no grand stud farms, DNA manipulation or special breeding techniques for this amateur cattle breeder who feels love on both sides is behind her success in the show ring. It must be working. Ms Hunder, who leases a small property at Balnarring, won the supreme champion at the All Breeds Beef Classic at Red Hill Show over the Labour Day weekend with her miniature Scottish Galloway Torcroft Sylvia. Nicknamed the “Animal Whisperer” by friend Bob Bates, Ms Hunder, 74, is a vegetarian and a cattle breeder – “perhaps the only one in Australia”. She has been entering the breed at the show for the past 14 years and loves the competition. “I started out aged 57 looking to buy some animals to keep the grass down at Balnarring, such as ostriches, emus, or alpacas, before settling on two miniature Scottish Galloway cows to start a herd,” she said. Both cows were pregnant – one with a bull which launched Ms Hunder’s cattle breeding and showing career. “The lawnmower man said he was beautiful and that I should show him,” she said. Ms Hunder, who admits to “not knowing the front of a cow from the back” in the early days, enrolled in a cattle handlers’ course at the Melbourne Showgrounds and learned
A few years later she bought a small holding at Bittern to keep an eye on her pregnant cows before putting them out with the main herd on an agistment property at Balnarring. Living day-to-day off the farm, mainly “on chook eggs and veggies”, she was content in knowing her animals were being well cared for. “I know nothing about genetics or even feeding for the show ring, but my cattle are raised with love,” she said. “Each animal knows its name and comes when called. They know they will never be killed for meat. When they are old they will go to the palliative care paddock where they’ll be looked after until the end, as a thank you for the calves they have produced and the pleasure they have brought me.” Ms Hunder’s cattle are sold only to other miniature Galloway breeders to improve the quality of their stock, or to small holdings on the Mornington Peninsula where the cute pets keep the grass down. “All my animals are able to be led with a halter and they must all walk on and off a float or trailer without fuss as I have to manage them on my own,” she said. “I have been going to Red Hill Show for the past 14 years and often my cattle are overlooked by the judges because they are smaller than other breeds. “So, to win supreme beef exhibit of the Red Hill Show, and to lead the grand parade with my seven-year-old Sylvia, was a very exciting experience.”

Asset and Amenity Permit The Shire’s assets are often damaged from private building works. Council is therefore re-introducing bonds to the Asset and Amenity Permit. A Permit (cost $240) is mandatory for work that requires a building permit, is within the Urban Growth Boundary and valued at $10,000 or more (demolition, relocating a building and installing a swimming pool require a permit regardless of value). If an owner or builder does not have a Permit, works can be stopped and fines can be issued. For more information visit: mornpen.vic.gov.au/assetprotectionprivatebuildings The Pillars On 9 October 2018, Council voted to close The Pillars site due to legal advice that raised liability questions for the council and ratepayers. The trial closure is for 4-6 months. A meeting will be held on 10 April 2019 to receive feedback on the summer peak period. Stellar The development company, Stellar recently promoted the construction of retirement villages and aged care facilities on the Peninsula. Two previous planning permit applications were refused by the Council, one in Mornington and one in Bittern. Stellar has not had any application meetings with the Shire. Ryman Health The proposed development at the former Mt Eliza Business School site in Kunyung Road, Mt Eliza has not progressed. Although the company continues to promote the development, no formal planning application has been lodged. The Planning Services Committee requested the site be rezoned from a Special Use Zone to a Green Wedge Zone. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning has requested further information before the Minister makes a decision.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2019
Hunt a GetUp! ‘target’ in federal poll ment risks a restart of this catastrophic people smuggling trade,” he said. It has been widely reported that cashed-up GetUp! has more than one million members and spent more than $6 million at the 2016 federal election. Speaking at the launch event at the Peninsula Community Theatre last week, Mr Wishart said members would talk to “tens of thousands of voters in Flinders about Greg Hunt’s terrible record on climate change”. “Unseating Mr Hunt and his hardright mates will unlock the deadlock stopping parliament from acting on climate change, treating refugees humanely and cleaning up our political system and economy so that people are put before profits. It’s time to ditch Dutton’s deputy.” GetUp! Has also asked its members to donate more money to counter the efforts by conservative group Advance Australia to support the re-election of former prime minister Tony Abbott and Peter Dutton. “So, our plan is to put Abbott and Dutton up in lights in those electorates — on billboards, digital ads and countless stunts featuring large Abbott and Dutton heads (the media loves those big heads!),” GetUp!’s plea for money states. The group says the defeat of Abbott and Dutton would send “a powerful message that right-wing extremism is the path to electoral defeat”. “Greg Hunt backed Dutton in the spill, seeking to be his deputy prime minister. That's something we'll remind the voters of Flinders, where we just announced Hunt as a key target.”

THE left-wing lobby group GetUp! Has selected Flinders Liberal MP Greg Hunt as one of its main “targets” in the May federal election. The group says Mr Hunt’s “repeated attempts to block urgent action on climate change puts him at complete odds with voters in Flinders and it’s time he was turfed out”. Mr Hunt told The News that GetUp! had “only ever campaigned against Liberal members of Parliament and it uses viscous and false personal attacks”. Other candidates to have put their hand up for Flinders are the Liberalturned-independent MP for Chisholm, Julia banks, Labor’s Joshua Sinclair and Nathan Lesslie of the Australian Greens. In a statement after its Wednesday 13 March campaign launch in Mornington, GetUp! said that Mr Hunt, when environment minister, “ignored advice from his own department and gave federal environmental approval for Adani, at the time Australia's largest proposed coal mine”. “More recently as health minister, [Mr Hunt] voted against giving sick children and refugees urgent medical care through the medivac bill,” GetUp! campaigner Jake Wishart said. “Mr Hunt was also Peter Dutton’s right-hand man in their coup to knife [then prime minister] Malcolm Turnbull for daring to act on the climate chaos impacting our lives.”

Shire calls for drought aid Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE state government has been called on to declare the Mornington Peninsula “drought affected” to quickly help businesses hit hard by water shortages. The drastic move aims to gain easier access to cheaper water for droughthit farms, businesses and recreational and sports grounds. Cr Antonella Celi moved the urgent item at last week’s Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting. The move also included a plea for the government to support the shire’s recycled water projects, including gaining access to the Class A recycled water flowing into the sea through to the South East Outfall near Gunnamatta. This Eastern Treatment Plant water is seen as going to waste when it could offer a cheap and almost limitless supply for agriculture and firefighting. “The shire is very concerned about water security and drought on the peninsula,” Cr Celi said. “We are taking action to call on the state government so that immediate and affordable access to recycled water supplies are delivered to our farmers, emergency services, recreational and sports facilities and businesses in the most cost effective way.” The catalyst for the shire’s call to the state government was a plea by Moorooduc couple Mark and Jackie Paganoni for help in accessing water for their apple orchard. Their 55-year-old family-run Atlan-
Water worries: Jackie Paganoni and her daughter Bianca and all the water remaining in the dam at the family’s Moorooduc property. Picture: Yanni ta Fruit Sales, one of the few remaining apple orchards on the peninsula, employs around 20 permanent staff and up to 50 extras during harvesting and thinning. Ms Paganoni wrote to the mayor Cr David Gill saying: “As you would know, it has been an extremely hot and dry summer and, although we have tried to be frugal with our stock of dam irrigation water, it looks as though we are not going to make it through. “We have spent an extensive amount of money setting up new plantings etc. but if we cannot finish this year's crop
off, all of that will be in jeopardy as our financial position will not be in a good state.” Ms Paganoni asked Cr Gill to help in contacting “the right person” and for shire help if using recycled water was an option. Later, as the big dry continued, she wrote: “Recycled water is no longer an option for us as there has not been a drought [on the peninsula] declared by the government. As such, there are no dedicated trucks to transport recycled water. “We are now at the mercy of South
East Water which says the price is set by the government.” The Paganonis in 2002-3 were able to access recycled water from a South East Water pipe on Stumpy Gully Road. That water is still available at a rate of $3200 a megalitre plus another $2000 for piping. While the business needs 10 megalitres it could, realistically, only afford two. Alternatively, the cost of trucking in water for house, shed and cool room tanks is $185 a 13,000 litres, meaning one megalitre would cost about $15,000 – “totally unaffordable”, say
the Paganonis. Ms Paganoni said the “waste of recycled water out into the ocean is devastating to say the least”. “And not being able to access that water, even via truck, is more than devastating.” She feared that “by the time we wait for a drought to be declared we will be out of business”. The water utilities had been “fantastic in the way they have reacted to our request to access the water but, as yet, we haven’t gone back to them to plead for leniency on the price”.

Helping hands and warm hearts “IT was good to see people still have good hearts.” Elderly Rosebud resident Maureen Baldwin was speaking after strangers came to the aid of her husband Ron after he fell and cut his head last week. “They were holidaymakers from West Footscray camping on the foreshore for the weekend, but they came over and did all they could to assist us,” she said. “One went and got my car while the others comforted Ron and another waited at the end of the street to tell the ambulance where we were.

“Even their little children came over to see if they could help.” Mr Baldwin, 85, was bleeding to the forehead after slipping on a slope in the Jetty Road playground and hitting his head, 10am, Monday 11 March. He usually walks “a couple of kilometres” each day, but this Monday spent six hours at Rosebud Hospital before recovering at home. “We wanted to let people know that there are still some lovely people around,” Ms Baldwin said.

Busy big dry for Rye firefighters Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au IT’S been an “extraordinarily busy” start to 2019 for members of the Rye CFA – and especially the 16 firefighters who have spent more than 650 hours fighting fires and saving homes outside the Rye area in the first two and a half months of the year. Their work was made even more difficult by hot and windy weather in a summer labelled by the weather bureau as the “hottest on record”. But Brigade Captain Glenn Diamond said the crews were still able to respond to more than 100 local calls, with most of the fires marked down as avoidable as they were caused by illegal burn offs during the fire-danger period. A kitchen fire at a house in Pardoner Road, Rye, was extinguished thanks to the quick thinking and training of the Rye crew, Thursday 7 March. Fire damage was restricted to a small portion of the home. CFA units from Rosebud and Sorrento also responded.
Captain Diamond said Rye CFA members in early January quickly brought a grass and shrub fire at Mt Martha under control. In early February the crew, supported by brigades from Boneo, Dromana, Flinders, Main Ridge, Mt Martha and Rosebud, fought the Grantville fire which threatened houses and rural properties. It took two days to bring under control. “It was great to see the brigades all working together to meet the objectives of the incident controller,” he said on social media at the time. “Thank you also to the members who stayed home to ensure coverage across the peninsula and to Sorrento Brigade for relocating their Tanker 2 into Rye station for the night and staff at Rosebud who continue to support the home brigades in the event of any fire activity on the peninsula.” In late February Rye CFA crews fought a fire in a eucalypt gum plantation at Shoreham and prevented it threatening Flinders. Embers were spotting up to 500 metres into neighbouring paddocks. The crews also helped fight the huge Bunyip
State Park fire caused by lightning strikes, Friday 1 March. The fire continues to burn with crews from Forest Fire Management back burning and blacking out. Captain Diamond and 1st Lieutenant Paul Baiguerra are having discussions with Nepean MP Chris Brayne over plans for a new station in Rye to “enable the brigade to update their facilities to current standards”. “This will enable the brigade to better serve the growing infrastructure and community, and also the need for a satellite station at St Andrews Beach, which is one of the most fire prone areas identified after the 2009 Royal Commission into the Black Saturday bushfires.” Captain Diamond said the biggest hurdle was acquiring land in the St Andrews Beach area to build a suitable shed to safely store and operate necessary equipment. CFA volunteers are always wanted. To inquire about fire safety around the home or on rural properties, as well as CFA memberships, contact any CFA brigade.

NEWS DESK Developer’s $5000 for ‘overhang’
Triathletes steered away from course of trouble SAFETY Beach will be the scene of frenetic athletic activity when the Sufferfest Triathlon takes over the foreshore on the weekend of 23-24 March. Organisers hope the new location will be more of a safe haven after they were criticised last year for basing their races in Mt Martha and closing the Esplanade between Mornington and Safety Beach on Clean-up Australia Day. Competitors dodged shoppers, beachgoers and clean-up volunteers and leading to Mornington Peninsula Shire amending its events policy to prevent any future clashes of dates (“Policy to avoid event clash” The News 3/4/2018). The shire’s communications and events manager Randal Mathieson said during this year’s Sufferfest all traffic, including cyclists, would be banned from using Marine Drive in
Safety Beach from Bruce Road to Nepean Highway, Sunday 24 March. He said the shire would install detour signs to guide motorists unfamiliar with the area. The parking lane on the residential side of Marine Drive will be reserved for residents entering and exiting their properties. Access to the Halcyon and Robin Park caravan parks will be along Link Drive, Prescott Avenue and Tonkin Street. Access to the Safety Beach boat ramp will be along Victoria Street at the direction of traffic controllers, who will also be positioned at each closed side road to advise motorists and pedestrians on detours. The weekend’s Sufferfest activities will kick off with the Frog Challenge on the Saturday, followed by swim-run endurance events and cycling, running and swimming on the Sunday. Stephen Taylor
Labor powers up for Baxter train LABOR candidate for Flinders, Joshua Sinclair, has moved quickly to climb aboard the electrification of the rail line to Baxter project. With the results of a $3 million federal government-financed business case due soon, Mr Sinclair last week “reaffirmed that a Shorten Labor government will move quickly to deliver the much-needed Frankston to Baxter rail upgrade”. “A federal Labor government will electrify and duplicate the track [from Frankston] to Baxter, giving commut-
ers better access to high quality public transport and park-and-ride options,” he said. “Shadow Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese said the project was part of Labor’s commitment to increase public transport services around the nation, including between capital cities and regional centres.” Mr Sinclair said the state government business case would look at the route, the level crossing removals required, stabling options, and park and ride facilities at Langwarrin.
In safe hands: Volunteer Marine Rescue crews tow the stricken Devil Cat back to Patterson River. Picture: Supplied
Trio rescued from bay THREE men off Carrum were lucky a boat was passing when their fivemetre Devil Cat sank one kilometre from shore, Sunday 10 March. Water was flooding both hulls and the boat was almost under when the trio of work colleagues jumped overboard and were picked up about 11am. The rescuing skipper, David Garrett of Pearcedale, reported the incident and stood by as Volunteer Marine Rescue vessel AK1 arrived from Mornington. VMR Mornington’s Tim Warner said “all occupants were found to be wet and shaken ... but in good health”. With the upturned vessel getting closer to sinking, AK1 skipper Sean Whelan asked Mr Garrett to take the shivering trio to shore while his crew of Chris Wynne, Alec Owen,
Stu Dunlop, Bob Chase and Rick Cooper secured a line. They towed the boat slowly for one and a half hours which allowed it to drain water and re-float. When VMR’s second rescue boat AK2 arrived the two boats double rafted the ailing Devil Cat back to Patterson River and helped the owner get it back onto its trailer. Mr Garrett said the Devil Cat, which was on its maiden voyage, likely suffered a crack in the hull or perhaps a loose bung plug causing it to take on water. He said the owner, of Balwyn, had told him he had been rebuilding the boat for the past six months. Mr Garrett said the twin 50 horsepower Yamaha outboards, which had been submerged for four hours, could be salvaged “with a lot of work”. Stephen Taylor
MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has agreed to a developer paying $5000 for a thin strip of land overhung by a first-floor balcony. The balcony is part of a three-storey building on the Esplanade, Mornington that has been built next to the shireowned car park in Vancouver Street. Senior property officer Jonathan Chivers told council’s Tuesday 12 March meeting that it “is not possible” to remove the offending tensioned steel reinforced concrete balcony. He said the solution to the overhanging balcony was to sell the developer a 25-centimetre-wide strip of the shire’s land. The development at 786 Esplanade has shops on the ground floor and apartments above with underground car parking. Mr Chivers described the overhanging balcony as a “minor encroachment” onto the shire’s land. “The first-floor balcony is immediately above the vehicular entrance to the underground car park for the development,” he stated in a report to council. “The balcony overhang does not impact on the use and operation of the adjoining shire land.” The shire’s acting manager property and strategy Nathan Kearsley told The News that access to the underground car park for the new building was across council-owned land at 2 Vancouver Street “which was originally acquired by council to provide rear access and parking to adjoining properties”. He said realigning title boundaries enabled council to “rectify this minor encroachment” of the overhanging balcony.

Drug busts on the nightshift SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol nightshift had a busy time Wednesday 13 March pulling over five drivers with drugs in their systems. One had his car impounded. Leading Senior Constable Greg Wolfe said those intercepted included a 30-year-old woman from Southbank who tested positive to methamphetamines, and being an unaccompanied learner driver with no L plates. A Frankston North man, 39, tested positive for methamphetamine in Excelsior Drive, and a Baxter man, 24, tested positive for the same drug in Klauer Street, Seaford. His car was impounded as his licence had already been suspended. A Frankston man, 37, tested positive to methamphetamine in Coprosma Avenue, Frankston, and a 38-year-old from Springvale tested positive to the same drug at a service station in Seaford. Leading Senior Constable Wolfe said the drivers faced a minimum six months’ loss of licence and $484 fines for a first offence, and a minimum 12 months’ loss of licence and a fine determined by a magistrate for a second offence. Arid results POLICE were pleased the Labour Day long weekend 9-11 March only produced one serious injury collision. A car being driven by a 58-year-old man from Rosebud ran off Old Cape Schanck Road, Boneo, and hit a tree on the Monday evening. He was airlifted to The Alfred hospital with serious, but not life threatening, chest and leg injuries. Leading Senior Constable Wolfe said one crew had a particularly busy Sunday 10 March.

Frankston Crime Investigation Unit Detective Sergeant Luke Holmes said the man had been “prolific in his offending in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula area.” It is alleged that the man would meet up with people looking to sell their cars on the website Gumtree, and ask to test drive their cars. The
man would then allegedly drive off. Police allege his offences occurred in the Frankston, Seaford, and Hastings areas between 19 February and 11 March. The man allegedly would use the stolen cars to commit petrol drive offs and drive off from shop thefts. Police said they attempted to arrest the man on 8 March and initiated a pursuit. Police allege he was driving erratically and drove around spike strips before the pursuit was called off. He was arrested on 11 March and will face Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 21 March. All vehicles were recovered. Det. Sgt. Holmes said “this is a warning for anyone offering test drives of cars, always ask for ID. If it feels like it’s not quite right, walk away.”

Changes to biosphere as Gill stands down from board DAVID Cross has been appointed to the board of the Western Port Biosphere. Mr Cross has been chair of the Frankston High School council; chairs the Frankston Environmental Friends Network and convenes the Frankston Nature Conserve Reserve Guardians. “The strong background in governance that he brings, along with his broad networks across the Frankston community, will be of great value as the biosphere strengthens its role in seeking to balance conservation and development in the Western Port region”, biosphere board chair Duncan Malcolm said. The biosphere’s board includes former local government leaders, a farmer, senior public service staff, strategic planners and others with experience in not-for-profit organisations. Mr Malcolm said the mayor of Mornington Peninsula Shire, Cr David Gill has stood down from the board “to concentrate on performing his mayoral duties”. He will be replaced by Frankston lawyer, Cr Quinn McCormack. Executive officer Greg Hunt will represent the Western Port Biosphere at the forthcoming conference of Australian biospheres in Maryborough, Queensland. “Representatives of Australia’s nine biospheres will be in attendance. We plan to develop a stronger collaboration across the network and establish a more formal relationship with the Australian government. “After all, they endorsed our being granted a charter by the Paris-based organisation. In recognition of the work we do, UNESCO is sending an observer from Paris to this conference,” Mr Hunt said. Details about the Western Port Biosphere Foundation and its projects are at biosphere. org.au and on the biosphere’s Facebook page.
Coolart protected ROOF repair works at Coolart Homestead, Somers will see it closed to visitors until May, although the gardens, wetlands and park will remain open. Coolart Homestead was bought by the state government in 1977 to preserve its historic buildings and significant wetlands. The homestead will get a galvanised steel inner roof, a slate outer roof, copper guttering, new flashings, valleys, sarking, timber boards, rafters and tiles. Parks Victoria says the work will stop moisture penetrating into walls causing dampness, and will allow repairs in the rooms on the first floor. “Coolart Wetlands and Homestead is a perfect example of where culture meets nature. The wetlands are home for more than 60 species of birds and provide a stunning setting for the historic homestead, creating a unique venue for a variety of community events,” chief ranger Kris Rowe said.
Snorkeller drowns A snorkeller who drowned off Mt Eliza on Sunday afternoon 10 March was collecting abalone. Police were called to Daveys Bay at 12.50pm after a friend found the 52-year-old Asian man, of Ivanhoe East, unresponsive in the water. Paramedics were called but he could not be revived. This is the second snorkelling death at Daveys Bay in a month. On Sunday 10 February another Asian man failed to return to shore. The crew of a police helicopter spotted his body on the sea floor just after 6pm. The latest death takes the number of drowning deaths in Victoria to 23 between DecemberMarch. Mornington police will prepare a report for the coroner.
Moonah from both sides A PICTURE-perfect Red Hill day set the scene for the announcement of the 2019 Montalto Sculpture Prize winner: Moonah by Kylie Stillman (above). Montalto owners, the Mitchell family, were joined by fellow judges, artists and guests at the event, Sunday 24 February. The $40,000 acquisitive award aims to encourage artistic pursuit in a public forum. Moonah is a free-standing stack of hand-cut fence palings. The imposing work maintains Stillman’s use of everyday materials and follows her use of books and papers to form the objects into which she carves. These often enigmatic “blocks” have a presence in themselves. In this case, the stack of panels forms a solid and impenetrable wall on
one side and, on the other, reveals the negative form of a coastal moonah tree – a dramatic tortured wind-formed silhouette typical of the area. As is Stillman’s style, the form is removed from the block allowing the resultant shadow lines and revealed textures to create the pretence of a tree which is not there at all. The absence of the tree and the scale of the block are not accidental: they are a lyrical prompt for the viewer to reconsider the origins of the matter we use to assemble our constructed world. This year’s judges were Montalto owner John Mitchell, architect Peter Williams, artist and educator Phillip Doggett-Williams, Ian Potter Museum director Kelly Gelatly, and McClelland Sculpture Park director Lisa Byrne.

WHAT’S NEW...
Official opening of Village Glen Mornington VILLAGE Glen is well known on the Mornington Peninsula for Village Glen Retirement Living in Capel Sound, a premium retirement community that “has it all” and has been thriving for 40 years. Over the last seven years Village Glen has worked tirelessly in the Aged Care space, opening up an incredibly luxurious facility in Capel Sound in 2014 where care meets state of the art. Village Glen’s most recent project has been Village Glen at Mornington. A brand-new campus that offers the best facilities and equipment in aged care. But more importantly creates that feeling of home. Walk the corridors and you are met
with pops of colour of teals, blues and burnt mustards. The comfortable furniture scattered throughout, reading nooks and game corners are all key to creating a space that is full of warmth and you certainly couldn’t miss the beautiful photographs of Africa on the walls (taken by Chas Jacobsen, founder and managing director of the Village Glen Group and his family when they took a trip to Africa in 2017). As Chas himself said “I wanted to create a real home for residents, and as I am a builder by trade, this is where my passion is. I am proud to say Village Glen at Mornington is just that, a home”. Village Glen at Mornington has all the facilities that a resident could want
or need with a sports green, cocktail bar, hair and beauty salon, physio zone, vegetable garden and more, but we think a home is created by much more than just the best facilities. It comes from the comfort and warmth of a space and most importantly the people that are in it, the caring team of people that 24 hours, seven days a week, care for our elderly. This is why Village Glen’s motto is ‘where it is all about people’. Village Glen at Mornington proudly opened its doors in July 2018, with the official opening on Saturday 23rd February 2019. The facility was graciously opened and welcomed by Hon, Greg Hunt MP as Minister for Health and Member for Flinders. The
residents and their families, along with staff and visitors, witnessed Greg Hunt and Chas Jacobsen who were also joined by two very special residents, Neil Charge who moved in on the day the facility opened, and Evelyn Harvey the oldest resident at 102 years old, to cut the ribbon to officially open Village Glen at Mornington. As Greg Hunt explains “Chas and the whole Jacobsen family have been a key pillar of Peninsula aged care for decades, with three generations of the family now directly involved in supporting our local community. This new facility will allow them to assist even more families on the Mornington Peninsula and it was an honour to join Chas, Neil and Evelyn to official-
ly open Village Glen Mornington.” Village Glen also opened its doors to the public on this day for an “Open Day,” giving the community the chance to have a look at all Village Glen offers. Visitors couldn’t miss the beautiful bay views which Mornington is famous for. Who wouldn’t want to wake up every morning to that view! They got the chance to have a play on the sports green and some lucky visitors got to stop at the cocktail bar for a drink, a snag and to enjoy some live music while on a tour of the facility. If you’d like to organise a private tour of Village Glen, call us today on 1300 VILL GLEN (1300 8455 4536) or visit www.villageglen.com.au

WHAT’S NEW...
Rosebud Village - where every person is cared for ROSEBUD Retirement Village was developed in 1980 and purchased by Village Baxter in April 2018. The Village Residents have enjoyed the change of ownership and embraced the Village Baxter philosophy of “every person cared for, every person valued”. The Residents at Rosebud Village believe that as a small Village, with only 105 Units, their Village has a friendly and caring quality and they feel secure and comfortable. Village Manager, Deb Riedel, said the location of the Village in Bayview Road is ideal for Residents. It is close to shops, medical practitioners, a golf course, the beach and has a public bus stop at the entrance. Deb and all the staff enjoy the pet friendly Village and can often be found patting one of the Village dogs, but mostly, they say it is the fabulous Residents that make the Village a wonderful place. “They are a caring, friendly and supportive group of people who look out for each other and value the Village staff.” The Village is very affordable, with Village Baxter capping one bedroom units at $200,000 to enable Residents to access rent assistance. Over the last year an extensive enhancement program was initiated and the Village has undergone improvements and changes. New amenities planned include a bocce court and putting green. Upgrades to the lake area and the communal vegetable garden will further enhance the Village. Both one and two bedroom units are spacious and refurbishments bring a modern and fresh look to units. Rosebud Village welcomes people to have a tour of the village and provides information on retirement living. There is an Open Day at the Village on Saturday, 23rd March from 10.00am to 1.00pm with units open for inspection and staff and Residents available to answer questions about the Village.

Answers required I note with interest that [former Liberal MP] Julia Banks has appeared on television and in newspapers presenting her reasons for running as a [independent] candidate for Flinders in the upcoming election (“Hunbt under pressure of coup fallout” The News 6/2/19). As a swinging voter I have over a number of state and federal elections asked direct questions to candidates regarding their direct policies addressing issues specific and to the advantage of the Mornington Peninsula. In all case candidates from all parties have been forthcoming in providing answers. I have contacted Ms Banks on four occasions by email asking such questions. To this date I have not had the courtesy of even an automatic answer. One can only draw the conclusion from her appearances in the media that her reason for being a candidate is revenge for what she believes is a travesty against former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull. In my opinion, a shallow and unelectable reason. We need people who have the total interest of the electorate as their objective, not retribution for past actions. Rod Kerley, Moorooduc
Widely read mayor Brian Mitchellson is a regular contributor to the news who last week said the he throws Mornington Peninsula Shire’s publication Peninsula Wide into the bin without reading it (“Saving paper” Letters 12/3/19). Sometimes I wish that I could do that same with council agendas. However, I know that the information inside is important to residents so I read on and hope to make sound decisions based on all of the information made available to me. David Gill, mayor Mornington Peninsula Shire
Frankly, it’s not fair I was gobsmacked when I heard someone complaining that Labor was going to cut out their $30,000 franking rebate. Does anyone realise how much money someone has to have to get $30,000 back for paying no tax? This guy expects to get more back than the aged pension that many have to live on. He should be living on his millions in stock and super. Supposedly, this is to account for corporations paying tax on the dividend and this eliminates double taxation, but seeing as multi-billion dollar companies do not pay any tax this does not hold water. Australia is the only country in the world that gives money back to the rich aristocrats for not paying tax. Will a Liberal government soon want to give rebates to corporations that do not pay tax? Why not they keep reducing the tax rate for them (and the aristocrats) even though they pay no tax to begin with. I have no problem with people who have worked hard and been fortunate enough to become rich, but I do have a big problem with the entitlements they think they are due for being rich while ignoring the plight of a pensioner trying to get by. A pensioner who was not as fortunate as them or who worked for them to create their wealth but did not share in it (except for a meager contribution to their super because they were forced to do so by the government). The day of the fair go has been over for a long time, but we continue to delude ourselves that it is still there. As Joseph Goebbels said and Donald Trump adheres to: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
Detentions continue Let’s celebrate that the children in detention have left Nauru and appreciate the efforts by the federal government to enable this to happen. However there is still a great deal of unfinished business: There are still children in detention in Melbourne. There are young adults still in detention who were minors when they arrived and who have spent their teenage years in detention There are still families separated because some members remain in detention.
There are many children in community detention living in Australia now. The children continue to suffer the trauma of long-term detention living with fear and uncertainty. I would really like our government ministers to tell us what the current situation is. The continual political games and weasel words no longer convince a better informed community. What do they intend to do to really end the detention of children and their families? Ann Renkin, Shoreham
Getting warmer John Godfrey has hit the nail on the head in some ways, but has some facts a little muddled (“Hold your breath” Letters 12/3/19). Yes, in the 100,000 or so years of human existence we had a few ice ages and warm periods on our planet. And his deduction that the problem of over population on our world is the main contributor for the destruction of our living space I also agree with. But that humanities’ actions are of no consequences for the rapid increase of global warming, I just can’t buy. And the defeatist attitude that we cannot save our species from extinction by a concerted effort of all of humanity is sad. We can decide not to thrash our environment by pretending that our economic model of unlimited growth for ever and a day. We can hopefully see this fallacy and devise a more sustainable way of running our society, by emphasising more on the need of all human beings and not just the want of the individual. I agree with John Godfrey that the $3.5 billion package to change things as they are is a waste of time and money if it comes without concrete proposals for getting us off the treadmill of infinite growth and the resulting destruction of our blue planet. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring
Climate change and CO2 John Godfrey has propagated CO2 fallacies (“Hold your breath” Letters 12/3/19). He stated Earth’s climate had changed many times before humankind arrived – and many times since. He’s correct, but greenhouse gasses – mainly CO2, but also methane – were involved in most of these major changes. When greenhouse gases were reduced, global climate became colder. When they increased, the climate became warmer. When CO2 levels jumped rapidly, they caused global warming, which was highly disruptive and sometimes caused extinctions. Humans today are emitting prodigious quantities of CO2, at a rate faster than even the most destructive climate changes in Earth’s past. Before the industrial age began, CO2 concentration was about 280 ppm. In 2013 it hit 400 ppm. This year it will hit 410 ppm. Mr Godfrey stated CO2 is just a trace gas in our atmosphere, which is correct (400 parts per million, ppm, or 0.04 per cent), but then says it has a minor effect on global warming, which is incorrect. Earth’s surface absorbs visible radiation from the Sun, which causes heating. At the same time, Earth’s surface and atmosphere emit infrared radiation back to space, which produces cooling. Nitrogen, oxygen and argon comprise more than 99 per cent of the atmosphere, but none absorb either visible or infrared radiation. The next most abundant gases – water vapour and CO2 –absorb a portion of infrared heat radiated by Earth’s surface and prevent it from reaching space. The infrared radiation absorbed by atmospheric water vapour or CO2 produces heating, making Earth’s surface warmer. The recent relentless rise in CO2 shows a remarkably constant relationship with burning of fossil fuels. Don’t take my word for it – or Mr Godfrey’s - do your own research. Try CSIRO, Bureau of Meteorology and university research groups. Climate change science from these sources is peer reviewed. Michael Hast, Mt Martha
Economical ‘facts’ Welcome to cloud cuckoo land, the place where facts don’t matter and let’s just change history
to suit our arguments (“Eyeing the economy” Letters 12/3/19). John Cain states “Michael Free has made a false claim that Labor has been unable to deliver a surplus since Paul Keating“. Which Labor treasurer was it that delivered the surplus to make my claim false? Wayne Swan? Nope. Chris Bowen? Nope. Peter Costello delivered plenty, but I’m pretty sure he wasn’t Labor. [Current Treasurer Josh] Frydenburg looks set to deliver one, but John Cain isn’t even sure if he is the treasurer and he certainly isn’t Labor. Please tell us Mr Cain, how rewriting history makes things true and makes it fine to denigrate those who disagree with your views. Michael Free, Mt Martha
Economic complications Michael Free, you conveniently forget so much (“Fact checking” Letters 12/2/19): Keating forecast a record budget surplus, and directly following the 1990 election our economy suffered with the “recession Australia had to have”, the Australian economy in negative growth for four consecutive quarters and taking several years to recover, directly after which the Labor government introduced several economic stimulus policies to target the rising unemployment rates of the time; The current government deficit is a hangover from the Rudd/Gillard Labor government’s economic stimulus package which arguably prevented Australia’s economy sliding into recession at the time, despite other countries suffering during the GFC; That deficit has multiplied 10 times under the current government, which has failed on its promises to deliver budget surplus; The Australian economy is now in a per capita recession (two quarters of negative economic growth), indicating that some further economic stimulus is warranted. You can be as simplistic as you like: Labor = deficit, Liberal = surplus. The reasons for these are more nuanced. Bring on the new government. Lauren Harris, Mornington
This is a fact Michael Free stated in this paper that he is “one of those of us who actually takes an interest in factual politics” but proceeded to ignore the facts that were placed before him (“Fact checking” Letters 12/2/19). He went on to compare just which party had lost the most members. In my letter, I suggested that [Flinders MP Greg] Hunt should be kicked out of Flinders because: Fact: he was disloyal to [former prime minister Malcolm] Turnbull and was promised the deputy’s job if he voted for [Peter] Dutton. Fact: he dipped out on the job because [Scott] Morrison became prime minister. Fact: because of Hunt’s and others display of disloyalty, Morrison is now the leader of a very unstable government being controlled by the rabid right wing religious faction that contains [Tony] Abbott and Co. Fact: Cabinet ministers are quitting along with backbencher’s because of charges of alleged bullying and misogyny and they can see that their chances of remaining in their jobs looking very shaky. Sure, Labor has lost a few members as well, but they’re not in government and they are unified. The latest fact appeared on 12 February when the Morrison government lost the vote 75-74 on the floor of the House of Representatives in relation to medical services in Australia for refugees; the first time since 1941 that this has occurred. I would like to see the people of Flinders [electorate] have a hard look at Greg Hunt’s actions and the chaos that has ensued because of the overthrow of Turnbull and decide if he merits re-election. I believe the elves that may live in the bottom of the garden in the ACT are also contemplating leaving. John Cain, McCrae
Unpredictable economy With an election imminent, politicians of all ilk are promising us a budget surplus and plenty of jobs. However, it is mostly smoke and mirrors trickery. Too many people have the simplistic view that a surplus is a sort of profit. In fact, there should never be a surplus. Depending on how you view it and who you believe, our federal government now has a debt
of half a trillion dollars. Joe Hockey, Liberal treasurer at the time, had to increase our legal debt ceiling so that he could borrow more money. Then there are the debts of the states. All governments have sold off assets to balance their budgets. Look at Victoria’s State Electricity Commission, a state-owned electricity supply giant. It now helps to maximise shareholders wealth, not ours. Our Chinese communist friends are helping our capitalist economy; without them we’d be beggared. Our economy is run on negligible interest rates and debt. It is ruining superannuation and savings. Household (and house) debt is $1.7 Trillion, a ticking time bomb. Economics is not so much a profession as an art. Practitioners make predictions and hope it will all work out. We might as well use tea leaves. What happens in a year or two cannot be predicted. As a humble layman, using common sense, facts and truth, I can equally well predict our economy for the near future and it isn’t pretty. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
Signs mislaid At the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council Meeting on 21 March 2018 councillors approved an additional three hours exercise time on the dog off leash section of McCrae beach. Dog off leash exercise is permitted only outside daylight saving time and the current daylight saving time ends on 7 April. But although 365 days have elapsed since council approved the additional exercise time the signs at the western and eastern ends of the exercise area have yet to be changed. How can such a simple and inexpensive change take so long? Are we likely to see the signage updated in time for the end of daylight saving time? Perhaps an ignominious entry in the Guinness Book of Records is the end objective. Bill Chalkley, on behalf of the McCrae Beach Dog Walking Community
Path to liability I have read a number of articles and letters over the past month regarding the Coppin Road, Sorrento footpath and am writing so that the public is made aware of the true position surrounding this special charge scheme. The project is flawed from a public safety point of view and the $4000 plus levy being imposed on ratepayers of properties abutting the road is manifestly unjust. Perhaps ratepayers who are paying for this crucial piece of public infrastructure should explore imposing a toll on their soon to be partly private asset. I dare say Erica Bryan would find other routes to the town if she were to be charged for her use of the asset she considers her right to use (“Ridiculous claim” Letters 27/2/19). The other important point however is that I believe Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has supported and fought for a grossly over-budgeted piece of infrastructure (estimated to be $1.1m for less than 900metres of footpath), one that the ratepayers being forced to pay the special levy do not want and one that is severely flawed from a safety point of view. An accident on Coppin Road is inevitable given the flawed design. Pedestrians who will think they are safe on a public footpath will be at severe risk. No wonder our society has a gross mistrust of their current crop of elected officials. Anton McKernan, Sorrento
Park memories Having being born in Mornington in 1927, I remember the football ground very clearly, with its dark wooden fence, surrounding land, huge pine trees at the rear and, on the corner of Main and Caldwell streets, the posters for films coming to the Plaza Theatre pasted by Eddie Reardon, who rode his bike with the bucket, paste and brush on handlebars (“Alexandra Park, the heart of a community” The News 5/3/19). I actually participated in the novelty events at the gymkhana in 1945, as Sylvia Fyffe, and drew the raffle with Cr Bob Marriot at the centre of the oval. I have a photo taken by local photographer Ron Daley, of us drawing the winning number. Sylvia Pingiaro (nee Fyffe), Mornington Southern Peninsula News

WHAT’S NEW...
Huge crowd and perfect weather for Red Hill Show By Bec Davis - Red Hill Show Executive Office ON Saturday March 9, the Red Hill showgrounds transformed into a colourful, appetizing and entertaining spectacle for the whole family. The Mornington Peninsula was on show! Initial estimation suggests that record numbers attended the 91st Red Hill Show at around 10,000, many of those making the trip from Melbourne and further afield. Clear skies and perfect weather set the scenes for the ideal day out. Our Mornington Peninsula producers were the focus of this year’s celebrations and the newly created Mornington Peninsula Paddock was full with gourmet food and our 5-star producers. Did you know that Tuerong had a wheat farm? Or that Red Hill was prime truffle growing terrain? Richard Cornish our MC introduced our show goers to so many locals from Tuerong Farm, Red Hill Truffles, Woolumbi Farm, Dromana Bay Mussels and so many more. The 1st Red Hill Apple Pie Competition was hotly contested with 37 entries but only Cathey Vissher took home the $500 prize money. Matt Wilkinson inspired us all with what culinary delights one can cook up. Our Cider Marquee was busy all day with demonstrations of apple pressing, master class lead by 5 local producers including Mock Orchards, Seven Oaks, Camilla Humphries and Harts Farm. Finishing up with a record of 91 entries, we are now the 2nd largest in the country. Special congratulations to Lisa Cresswell from Seven Oaks Farmhouse for taking out the Top Gold in Show.
Artisan Corner was a hit with crafts from stallholders, the CWA marquee and free kids facepainting and balloon twisters. The skilled artisans of the McClelland Spinners & Weavers and Woodturners Guild educated and inspired the crowd. Peter the sheep shearer worked hard all-day showing kids the tricks of the trade and of course, Futura Kelpies who always draw a huge crowd did not disappoint. New to the show this year was
the beautiful Brumby “Wrangler” and “Harry” the stockhorse. Special thanks to Amber Matthews and Lara Beth for demonstrating what these gentle horses can do. The woodchop grandstands were packed to the rafters and with The Jackson Four and Diddy Reyes setting the tones, it was a festive atmosphere everyone could enjoy. There were more free rides than ever before and animal experiences for the kids. With participation across all exhibits
from so many of our local schools, scouts and guides, our number of entries were over 2,400. Honey was the highlight and we thank Ben Moore from Ben’s Bees for sharing his expertise on the MPP Stage. Next year, we will be opening up new sections in Olives & Olive Oil and Craft Beers. On behalf of the Red Hill Agricultural & Horticultural Society we would like to thank our incredible team of volunteers who coordinate this event. We must also mention our

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Mr Williams declares his cow to be disease free Compiled by Brodie Cowburn TO All Whom It May Concern. I WILLIAM WILLIAMS, of “Rupertstan”, Langwarrin, desire to inform the Cattle Buyers of this district that a Cow, forming one of my well known Jersey herd, was, in December last, sent to the yards of Messrs Brody and Mason, in Langwarrin, for sale by auction. Mr Mason directed my representative to return the cow to “Rupertstan”, stating that the cow was diseased. This statement came to the knowledge of several buyers, and I immediately had the cow examined by Mr S. Sherlock, Veterinary Surgeon, of Frankston, who pronounced her in good condition and showing no signs of ill health. Mr Mason declining to make any statement to correct his error, I now take this means of publicly advertising the fact that this cow, together with the rest of the “Rupertstan” herd, is free from disease or taint of any kind. *** MR C. M. Griffeth has been returned unopposed for the seat in the Centre Riding of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings rendered vacant by the resignation of Cr Jos. Unthank. As the son of the late Cr Griffeth (one of the best public men our district ever possessed) the newly elected councillor is sure to be accorded a cordial welcome at the Council table. *** THE announcement is made in another column that the opening night for the euchre tournament will take place on Thursday, 10th April, and will be held fortnightly thereafter.
Those gathering, which proved highly successful last winter, will be again welcomed by a large section of the public. *** INFLUENZA. Several cases of sickness have been reported in Frankston this week, and as a precautionary measure the local authorities have ordered isolation and quarantine. *** WE have received the following from the Deputy Postmaster General: “With reference to your communication of the 17th ultimo, respecting the delay in delivery of copies of the “Standard” addressed to residents of Carrum Seaford, Hastings, and adjoining towns, I beg to inform you that owing to the large number of officers absent through illness, principally influenza, and to excessively heavy posting on Fridays, it is not always possible to deal with the whole of the second class mail matter on the day of receipt. Attention is now being given to the question of reducing by means of direct mail services or otherwise, the number of district newspapers circulating through Melbourne and dealt with at the General Post Office for delivery in the districts in which they are published, and it is hoped that the difficulty now experienced in ensuring prompt delivery will be overcome.” *** SUCCESSFUL Harvest Festival. Services were conducted by the Rev. E. Tonkin in the Frankston Methodist Church on Sunday last. The interior of the edifice was tastefully decorated, and the display of
fruit and other products was very fine and well arranged. Appropriate addresses were given and suitable hymns sung. At the evening service the choir rendered the Anthem “Praise the Lord O Jerusalem,” Miss Goldie Twining giving the solo therein. Miss Croskell also sang, “Consider the Lilies”. On the following Monday evening the products were sold by “Bruce” auction, Mr F. Renouf acting as auctioneer. There was a good attendance, and the sale realised £6 8s 7d. *** AT the Frankston Methodist Church on Sunday next Mr. H. Ponton of Albert Park will conduct both services. In the evening Mr Ponton will be assisted by the Spansley Street Clifton Hill, Methodist Brass Band. The Band will render sacred selections in the Church and lead the congregational singing. One of their members will also sing a solo. From 3.30 to 5 p.m. the Band will play in the Recreation Reserve. *** CONSTABLE Dishall resumed duty last Friday after several weeks absence from Frankston. *** PRIVATE F. Harley, M.M. is due to arrive home in a few days. His many friends will be pleased to congratulate him on the distinction he achieved. *** MRS J. A. Williams of Frankston, has received word from her husband that he has received his commission. At time of writing Lieutentant Williams expected to leave England by

an early boat for Australia. *** THE marriage of Miss Rene Dean of Karr St Frankston with Corporal F. Carter is announced to take place at the Methodist Church, Frankston, on Wednesday next. *** LAST week, Miss Ross, who for some time was a member of the local Post Office staff, was made a presentation by her Frankston friends. *** Hastings Court of Petty Sessions. Tuesday, 18th March, 1919. (Before Mr Knight, P.M., and Messrs C. Murray and G. E. Shepherd, J.’sP. ) Constable Walker, of Somerville, charged Thomas Unthank with lighting a fire in the open air in Tyabb on 15th February, whereby the property of another person was destroyed. Unthank, who pleaded not guilty, was defended by Mr W. S. Cook. Constable Walker gave evidence as to having inspected the scene of the flre. Saw where dry bushes were cut and the ground chipped, indicating where the fire had started. There was a large quantity of scrub and dry stubble and grass in the vicinity. William Pike, sworn, said he remembered the day of the fire. His orchard and all his grass paddocks were destroyed. He was at his farm, about half a mile away, at the time, but reached the scene of the fire just as the neighbors had saved his house and sheds. He met Unthank later in the day. Unthank said to him (witness) that the fire got away from him in the stubble, and travelled faster then he
(Unthank) could run. He also saw the dry bush referred to, and was of opinion that the fire was lit in the scrub. Corroborative evidence was given by several other witnesses. Mr Cook, on stating the case for defendant, contended that there was no evidence to show that Unthank had lit the fire. Unthank had no witnesses to call. He first saw the fire burning in the stubble, and spent most of the day fighting the fire by himself in his paddock. The witnesses for the prosecution had admitted that at no time did defendant admit lighting the fire. Thomas Unthank, sworn, said he remembered the 15th of February. About 1.30pm he was in his orchard, and noticed a fire racing across his stubble. He took a spade, axe and billy of water, and rushed to the spot. Was unable to head the fire, as it travelled faster than he could run. He chipped the grass referred to to prevent further outbreaks by sparks from dry trees. In answer to Mr Knight, defendant said he would swear that he did not light the fire. Mr Knight said that the evidence was all circumstantial, and the majority of the Bench did not consider it sufficient to prove a conviction, and the case would be dismissed. The verdict would not have any effect on the claiming of damages in a civil action in another court. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 March 1919

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
You’re Only Young Once - Thankfully By Stuart McCullough I WAS terrible at it. In fact, I seemed to go out of my way to make a complete unholy mess of it. It seemed natural for others who were able to do it without any outward sign of struggle such as moving their lips or reading instructions. I, on the other hand, seriously struggled to find my groove. It probably didn’t help that in the nineties groove was in desperately short supply, with grunge rock offering a turgid and extremely limited rhythmical palate. On a scale of one to ten on the groove-omitor, I’d have struggled to get a three. There’s simply no way to put it nicely – I was hopeless at being young. My university ID card reveals the full extent of the horror. Having left a school with a strict ‘no hair over the collar’ policy, I celebrated impending adulthood by growing my hair out before later realizing my old school knew what it was doing. Some people look great with long hair. I was not one of those people. My long hair made me look like Gene Wilder if he was fronting a heavy metal band. Long hair was, however, the least of my problems. I also had glasses. The glasses I had chosen and frequently wore in public were gold rimmed and round, kind of like the ones you’d expect either John Lennon or your Aunt to wear. Put them together with the heavy metal Gene Wilder look and I presented as somewhat aesthetically confused and the kind of person that rightthinking citizens would cross the road to avoid. The t-shirt I was wearing had buttons up the front, much like
the one that Grizzly Adams used to wear. The overall effect was one of ‘hillbilly librarian’. If such a thing even exists. In my adolescence, I bemoaned my inability to talk to girls. With the benefit of both hindsight (no thanks to the
glasses) and compelling photographic evidence, I would say that the results were pretty much inevitable. Had I been anyone other than myself, I’d have kept a wide berth too. Luckily the photo on my ID was only from the chest up as I’d hate
to think what else I might have been wearing. Around that time, I somewhat unwisely decided to repair jeans that were falling apart. I did this by sewing random pieces of material underneath the jeans. Mostly the material featured ghastly patterns of paisley swirls and a mix of colours I can only describe as psychedelic vomit. Add to that the fact I wasn’t much good at sewing and the results were truly offensive to the eye. It was as though I’d hired HR Pufnstuf to be my tailor. Rather than look young, I looked a little bit like a gypsy. As the world around me turned to grunge, I decided it was better if I continued to dress like an alien. At certain points, I rebelled against the prevailing wisdom of the day through futile gestures such as deciding never to wear jeans. I can’t recall what, if anything, I was trying to achieve. The only good thing I can say about it is that boycotting jeans meant that I totally eliminated the risk of ever accidentally going ‘double denim’. However, it meant that I wore slacks at a time when my contemporaries were staunchly committed to Levis. I never hit my stride as a young person, and was perpetually mired in misery. Lucky for me, misery was extremely popular in the nineties. It should have been my moment. I decided that the best way to deal with my maudlin, morose outlook was to share it with the world at large through the gift of song. It was a gift that the world, in turn, immediately sought to return for store credit. I don’t think any of those tunes has survived. Which is probably just as well.
When I first starting working, I went to the Myer Bargain Basement to pick out the cheapest work shirts known to humanity. I can’t recall what the material was, but it was so synthetic that it was in danger of bursting into flames when exposed to direct sunlight. For a while, I only had one suit. It was scunge bucket green and highly acrylic that achieved an overall effect of ‘electric slime’. I’m sure I cut quite a figure. Come to think of it, given that this was the suit that I’d have worn to interview, it’s a miracle that anyone employed me at all. I was anxious, I think. Other people seemed far more relaxed about the whole ‘being young’ calamity. I, on the other hand, completely freaked out and wanted the whole unpleasant experience to be over. Which, at some indefinable point, it was. Suddenly, a job is a career. Your hair is back above the collar where it always belonged. And your choice of trouser is now conventional instead of a fashion statement that says ‘please help me’. I am happier now than I was then. I am better at being middle aged than I ever was at being young. I no longer look like Gene Wilder fronting a heavy band, even though if I did, my group would surely be called ‘Wilder at Heart’ and our version of the Oompa Loompa song would rock your world. And I even wear jeans these days. Perhaps it’s about not being in a rush to get somewhere else. Youth may well be wasted on the young, but they’re welcome to it. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Baden Powell set up a grand final run By Brodie Cowburn
PENINSULA
BADEN POWELL have put themselves in pole position for a grand final spot with a good day one performance against Moorooduc at Overport Park. Three batsmen made scores of over 40 runs, with Rhys Elmi passing his half century off 130 deliveries. Although slow scoring at times, Baden Powell will be happy to finish the day at 6/200 off their 80 overs. The semi final between Main Ridge and Red Hill looks set to go down to the wire, with Red Hill batsman Simon Dart holding the fate of the match in his hands. Main RIdge opened the batting, with middle order batsman Daniel Polson top scoring with 45 runs. Main Ridge scored quickly, but paid for it with lost wickets. After just 47 overs, they were all out for 157. Red Hill got their innings off to a rough start, losing their first two weeks early and struggling at 2/4. Simon Dart came in as number 4 batsman and was impressive. As he hit 37 off 91 balls before stumps. Wickets fell around him but crucially, he remained not out. His efforts on day two will be vital to Red Hill advancing to the grand final.
DISTRICTS
DELACOMBE Park look to have booked their spot in the grand final with a dominant day one performance over Rosebud. Electing to bat first, only two Rosebud cricketers reached double digit figures with bat in hand. A complete tail order collapse saw them all out for just 98 runs. Robert Fisher only bowled 7 overs, but made the absolute most of them. He posted figures of 3/5, doing most of the damage for his side. They were his best figures for the season. In response Delacombe Park reached 1/12 before stumps was called. Heatherhill enjoyed a better afternoon against Hastings, setting a difficult target for them to chase down. At 7/95 Heatherhill were in grave danger of throwing the game away, but a late rally from the tail saw them get to 183 before going all out in the last over of the day. Sum Mallavery top scored with 33 runs.

A DAY of dominance has put Tootgarook in the box seat to advance to the grand final. They kicked off their semi final battle with Boneo with a brilliant day one performance, putting 265 runs on the board before the close of play. Boneo pushed hard and took 9 wickets, but could not dismiss them all. The two sides finished level on wins going into the finals, making the one sided display a surprising one. Top of the ladder side Dromana had a decent day against Balnarring at Dromana Reserve, and will have to work hard to defend their day one
total. Choosing to bat first, Dromana got off to a good start. Opener Jeffrey Bluhm has his best game for the year playing in the 1sts. He wasn’t much in the mood to run between wickets, hitting 13 boundaries on his way to a total of 64. Bluhm’s teammates let him down as his side ended up all out for 202 off 78 overs.

clash, with Langwarrin setting an attainable target on day one. Batting first at home, Langwarrin got off to a dream start. Flying at 0/69, they quickly collapsed to 3/73. Another collapse in the middle order would see them go from 3/123 to 8/136. Langy ended up all out for 163, giving Baxter a good chance to claim a spot in the grand final. A superstar performance from Chamike Sattambi was the highlight of the day, as the Baxter bowler took astonishing figures of 8/47. They were his best ever bowling figures for his club.

Baxter will restart from 0/1 on day two. On Sorrento’s home turf, they hosted Peninsula OB in a huge match to determine the second side in the grand final. Sorrento spent day one out in the middle with the willow, scoring 189 runs before going all out. Number 4 batsman Robert Wilson scored 55 runs for his side, helping them to a decent total. They will have to work hard to make sure Old Boys dont sneak a win and take a grand final spot from the top placed side.

Let the State League battle begin SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie THE quest for glory among local State League teams begins in earnest this weekend when the 2019 season kicks off. Frankston Pines is keen to open proceedings on Friday night under the new Monterey Reserve floodlights but its State 3 clash with Monash Uni was awaiting Football Victoria approval as we went to press. Monash was drawn as the home team in this round one fixture but a ground availability problem encouraged Pines to apply to have the fixture reversed and held as its home game. Pines has been on a roller-coaster ride throughout the off-season twice having to hold a general meeting to elect a president and committee then watching new senior coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor conduct one of the biggest player turnovers in peninsula soccer history. Taylor’s 24-man senior squad is the largest in the region and he has brought 21 new players to the club. That includes CJ Hodgson, one of Pines’ favourite sons, who returned to Monterey Reserve last week after a dalliance with Doveton consisting of a handful of practice matches and an FFA Cup appearance. Former Langwarrin and Berwick City midfielder Sergio Yanez also signed with Pines last week. Fellow State 3 outfit Skye United has been quiet on the transfer front and currently isn’t scheduled to play its first match until round 3 due to ground availability issues. Mornington hopes to be in the promotion mix in State 1 and its campaign gets underway at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday night against Malvern City. Mornington gaffer Adam Jamieson could add another player to his senior squad this week and while Taylor Davidson, Amir Osmancevic and Sam Scott are expected to return from injury Andre Bennett is likely to miss another week. Peninsula Strikers’ boss Danny Verdun has made no secret of his ambitions this year and expects to hit the ground running against Old Scotch on Saturday. Verdun has brought 13 new players into the senior squad and up front will pin his hopes on English import John Prescott, a class act in what looms as a very competitive league. Baxter faced a dramatic player shortage late last month but was able to name a 22-man senior squad last weekend and expects to be competitive in State 4 this season. Ironically one of the promotion favourites in that league is Sandown Lions, coached by former Baxter coach Roy Kilner and their clashes are sure to be hard fought. Fellow State 4 outfit Seaford United signed midfielder Jack Carter from Brandon Park last week and was holding talks with Pines midfielder Luke Murray as we went to press. In State 5 Somerville Eagles seems certain to be in the promotion mix as joint coach and leading striker Dave Greening chases an incredible 10th straight league Golden Boot award. Like Somerville, State 5 rival As-

pendale Stingrays have introduced 10 new signings to their senior squad and new coach Lee Barber has high hopes of success. The new kid on the block as far as State 5 goes is Rosebud who only officially joined the league in late January and has since appointed its senior and reserves coaches and team managers and put together a senior squad that it hopes can consolidate its newfound status.

FORWARDS: David Greening, Louis Griffiths, Nathan Grimshaw (Mornington), Mark Pagliarulo (Baxter). In NPL2 news Langwarrin maintained its promotion push with a 3-1 away win against Springvale White Eagles on Saturday. David Stirton failed a fitness test before the match and Callum Goulding found himself playing in an unfamiliar role as an attacking midfielder. Striker Roddy Covarrubias gave his best performance of the season crowning his usual gut-busting display and ability to shield the ball or turn his defender with a goal and an assist.
There was no score at half-time but two goals in a minute in the second period had Langy in control. The first came in the 65th minute when a Damir Stoilovic free kick from the left was headed firmly home by Wayne Wallace and a minute later Covarrubias skipped past a defender on the left of the area then struck a low shot across Springvale keeper Nebojsa Pejic and inside the far post to make it 2-0. The home team stunned the visitors with a thunderbolt free kick from Aleksandar Mitrovic that rocketed into the top far corner in the 77th minute but thoughts of a comeback vanished five minutes later when Covarrubias set up Johnny Kuol whose initial attempt struck the bar but the quicksilver striker was first to react heading home the rebound from point-blank range and Springvale’s fate was sealed. Stirton should be fit to face St Albans Saints on Saturday while defender Alex Van Heerwarden is expected to get some game time in the under-20s as he returns from injury. Southern United went down 8-1 to Bayside United at Kingston Heath Soccer Complex on Saturday with recent signing Natalie Holmes scoring for Southern. Southern’s under-19s lost 2-0, the under-16s drew 0-0 and the under-14s lost 4-0. Southern continues to pursue overseas players and technical director Harry Chalkitis has held talks with players he hopes can fill the club’s two available visa spots. Southern also is waiting on an international clearance from Scotland for a midfielder who is expected to join the under-16s squad. Meanwhile Baxter rounded off its preparation for the league season with a 3-1 win over Old Xaverians at Baxter Park on Saturday with Baxter’s goals coming from Bryce Ingram (2) and Liam Kilner. Other friendlies last Saturday saw Mornington go down 3-0 to Clifton Hill at Dallas Brooks Park, Pines lost 4-2 at home to East Brighton while Rosebud lost 6-2 to Seaford United at Olympic Park. Travis Ernsdoerfer scored both goals for Pines, Chris Parry and Mike Durrance scored for Rosebud while Seaford’s haul came from Matt Schwellinger (2), Dylan Waugh, Mitch Lander, Nick Ormond and Luke Murray. This weekend’s league games: WEDNESDAY, 8pm: Heidelberg Utd v Southern Utd (Olympic Village). FRIDAY, 8.30pm: Frankston Pines v Monash Uni (Monterey Reserve, TBC).

Rawiller follows family footsteps By Ben Triandafillou HORSE racing undeniably runs in young Campbell Rawiller’s blood. Growing up in a family steeped in racing history, the aspiring 17-yearold horseman is following the path which his father Nash (champion Australian and international jockey), uncle Brad (23-time Group One winning jockey), and mother Sarah have all trodden. And the youngster took his next major step to making his dream come true, with an induction into Racing Victoria’s Apprentice Jockey Training Program on Thursday 14 March. Campbell will join six female and three other male riders in the program which seeks to unveil the next stars of the saddle. Campbell has joined the Mornington-based stable of Logan McGill to learn his trade, while three other apprentices will also be based in Mornington: Kiran Quilty (Shane Nichols), Celine Gaudry (Pat Carey) and Matthew Cartwright (Lyn Tolson). Campbell Rawiller said it’s amazing to join Racing Victoria’s program. “It’s unreal,” he said. “They’ve just thrown 110 per cent of everything they can to get you to where you want to be. You’ve got people like the likes of Ron Hall, Matty Pumper and Darren Gauci who are just unbelievable horseman and jockeys and you couldn’t get much more of a better lead into racing than what they do for you. “It’s not only just the racing side, they’ve really covered all aspects of life. It’s making you a successful hu-

man and athlete so being able to have that influence I’ll just be trying to take it with both hands and throw my everything at it.” Campbell has competed in show jumping and dressage events throughout his childhood and has had plenty of inspiration to build on through his family ties to racing. The decision to become a jockey wasn’t a tough choice to make for the young horseman. “With Dad being a jockey, he had all his racing gear at home and racing has just always been there,” he said. “We’d always go support Dad and I always watched the horses and was
always into racing really. It’s just what we love and what we’ve always been around. You love the horses very first of all and the early mornings are all worth it in the long run. It’s exactly where I want to be.” Campbell had started “ground work” with his uncle, Todd, who was training in Sydney at the time, before moving back to Mornington and starting up with his current master trainer Logan McGill, just over a year ago. “He was heavily suggested from many people for his amazing horseman skills and really being able to be a great influence on me and my career,” Campbell said. “As soon as I
met Logan, I really wanted to be his apprentice.” “I pretty much started with Logan from there and he’s just had me irons down in the arena not worrying about the track at the start and just really teaching me how to be a horseman. He’s just been unreal, absolutely unreal. He’s taught me how to ride and how to ride properly and I can’t thank him enough for that.” Campbell is currently riding in jumpouts and rides work every morning as well as completing work around the stables. He’s hoping to land his first ride in an official race by the end of the year but said he’s more focussed
on taking everything “step by step”. “There’s no real rush but hopefully before the end of the year I’d like to have my first ride but I have got my trial rides to keep doing and all I can do is keep improving and trying hard and when Logan’s happy with me and the Apprentice School reckons I’m ready to go well that’ll be when I’ll go,” he said. “I won’t be trying to rush any steps and I’ve always just found the more and more you do something the better you’re going to get so the more trials the better.” While the up-and-comer won’t be riding at Mornington’s Cup Day meeting on Saturday 23 March, he said the day has always been pretty special to the family. “I’ve been to a couple when Dad was riding in a couple of the Mornington Cups years and years ago, but we’ve always gotten involved at the Mornington Cup,” Campbell said. “It’s always a great day out for everyone and something well worth not missing.” His father, Nash, claimed the Listed Mornington Cup on two occasions. Once, on the triple Mornington Cup champion Gunnamatta (trained by Tony Noonan) who he rode to his second win in 2003, and again in 2007 when he saluted on Hofmeister. His uncle, Brad, also won the Cup on the Mick Kent-trained Banana Man in 2009. This year’s edition of the Mornington Cup is also set to be an intriguing contest with the winner gaining ballot exemption into the Caulfield Cup in October.
Young guns to take centre stage at the Mornington Peninsula Tennis International MELBOURNE’S south is getting ready to host some strong up and coming talent as the Australian Pro Tour for 2018/19 draws to a conclusion at the Mornington Peninsula Tennis International. Rinky Hijikata (NSW) and Dane Sweeny (QLD) top the players to watch as they venture down to the picturesque Mornington Peninsula region to tackle the clay from 18 - 31 March. Mildura Grand Tennis International champion, Dayne Kelly, is gearing up for back-to-back titles after claiming a record third championship up north. He joins the talented field of players, representing seven nations, eager to hold aloft the trophy. Mornington Tennis Club President, Thomas Kenny, is looking forward to welcoming the players and spectators
to the Mornington Peninsula. “Mornington Tennis Centre, which incorporates Mornington Tennis Club and Elite Tennis Academy, are extremely proud to be hosting the upcoming Pro Tour International event, in conjunction with our sponsors; Mornington Shire Council, Tennis Australia, Tennis Victoria and Audi Mornington,” Kenny said. “This is a prestigious men’s event, with two tournaments running consecutively for two weeks, commencing Monday the 18th March, with a total of $15,000 prize money for each week, with players from all over the world, and is sanctioned by the I.T.F. “Mornington Tennis Centre is the premier tennis venue on the Peninsula, and has twelve player-friendly ConiPur clay courts, similar to those on the European tour, all under lights,
with a comfortable, and welcoming club rooms, with food and beverages available,” he said. Tournament Director, Jason Simmons, says this event could act as the perfect springboard for some of the youngsters. “There is a very impressive line-up of players heading to the Mornington Peninsula and I think it will make for a thoroughly entertaining event,” Simmons said. “There’s a host of players ready to pounce and some names people should keep an eye on following the next couple of weeks. “The officials and volunteers put an enormous amount of work into the event and I’m pleased with how everything is tracking for Day One of the tournament.” Facility operator, Kate Antosik,
believes spectators will have a great opportunity to see some new faces in action. “We are excited to have the upcoming Pro Tours at the Mornington Peninsula where we can showcase a high level of tennis to the centre’s patrons and the local community,” Antosik said. “We hope to see the community out supporting the event.” Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Councillor David Gill says Mornington Peninsula Shire is pleased to be supporting the Mornington Tennis International with a $20,000 grant. “Council welcomes the opportunity to help showcase and increase sports participation on the Peninsula – this tournament is a wonderful way to bring the community together to participate in such a terrific sporting
event,” Cr Gill said. The event will kick off on Monday 18 March and finish on Sunday 24 March with the second tournament to commence on Monday 25 March and conclude on Sunday 31 March. The Mornington Peninsula Tennis International is part of the Australian Pro Tour, a series of professional tennis events that bridge junior events and the ATP/WTA Tour, providing an opportunity for players to earn their first world ranking points.
