The Peninsula’s pinnacle of spring racing is just around the corner. The Neds Peninsula Cup will again ascend on the magnificent Mornington Racecourse on Sunday 30 October, set to deliver an electric atmosphere with activity and excitement for all.
34-year-old hoop Jamie Mott is riding the wave of his career best form in the saddle, claiming his first career Group 1 in the Neds Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) in September aboard Callsign Mav, trained by Danny O’Brien.
Based on the Mornington Peninsula for approximately the past five years, Mott is loving life with his wife Carol-Anne and his two young boys Henry and Charlie, and this healthy mindset is really paying off in the saddle.
“I am absolutely loving life in Mornington,” Mott said.
“As for my riding, I am feeling super confident at the moment. I am in a really good frame of mind.
“My body is good, my weight is good and I am getting plenty of nice rides with good support behind me from everyone.”
Mott is making the most of his opportunities with a range of trainers based at Mornington, especially John McArdle whom he has had a very long relationship with, but he hopes more doors will open across the Spring Carnival now that he is
“I do the majority of work with Johnny,” Mott stated.
“We are a little quiet at the moment, but we have a few young ones prepping up that are ready to go.
“You would imagine now that I have won my first Group 1, hopefully that means I am a good chance of landing a nice ride in the big Group 1 races as we head into the deep part of the spring.”
Callsign Mav is a gelding who Mott is keen to stick with across the spring features, but there is a colt who Mott had great affiliation with back in the autumn, Lofty Strike, who he is keen to re-partner with this spring.
“I have Lofty Strike who I rode in both career wins last preparation.
The colt made an impressive return at Caulfield on Wednesday 12 October, running on under Mott to finish third in the Group 3 Catanach’s Jewellers Blue Sapphire Stakes (1200m).
When asked if there was one race that across the whole Spring Carnival that Jamie Mott would love to one day win, it was a three-year-old classic at Caulfield that sprung to mind, a stallion making event over the mile.
“The Caulfield Guineas has always been one of my favourites,” Mott said.
He will soon get the chance to claim the ‘other’ big three-year-old spring feature when he partners Lofty Strike in the Group 1 Coolmore Classic at Flemington on Saturday 29 October. There he will likely be set for a mouth-watering clash with Mornington’s The Everest (1200m) champion Giga Kick, trained by Clayton Douglas.
Win, lose or draw, there will be no rest for Mornington’s hardest working jockey with Mott to compete the following day on his home track at Mornington on Neds Peninsula Cup Day.
“He finished off the campaign with an impressive win in a Blue Diamond Prelude, so I hope he can take that next step this spring.”
RED Hill artist Michael Leeworthy, pictured, will help budding artists brush up on their skills with a watercolour demonstration class to raise money for childhood cancer research.
On the back of a successful fundraiser Leeworthy held in August for the Peninsula Home Hospice, he will donate his time and expertise again on 14 November, running the event through Red Hill District Lions.
Leeworthy said the demonstration - to be held at his Red Hill home and gallery - would help demystify the idiosyncrasies of watercolour.
“I will explain the best use of materials, paper types, what paint to buy and the best brushes to use,” he said.
“I will work on at least four different styles of watercolour paintings, and the audience may be invited to take part as well.”
Leeworthy said he has room for 15 participants, and all money raised will go to the Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation.
For the past 30 years Lions clubs have been spearheading the fight against childhood cancer in Australia. Seventeen years ago, the com mitment to supporting children with cancer was formalised with the establishment of the Lions Cord Blood and Childhood Cancer Research Appeal.
Since then, more than $12 million dollars has been raised for child hood cancer research.
The Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation was officially established in 2009 with the prime focus being to increase survival rates of childhood cancer by supporting cancer research efforts in Australia and around the world.

Liz BellMORNINGTON Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Anthony Marsh wants Plan ning Minister Lizzie Blandthorn to “urgently” step in to protect the site of the former Melbourne Business School in Mount Eliza from development after a planning panel did not support the rezoning of the land to green wedge.
The Kunyung Road land housed the former business school and is the subject of a controversial planning application by Ryman Healthcare for a multi-storey aged care centre and retirement village.
Under amendment C270 of the Mornington Peninsula planning scheme, the council sought to rezone the land at 60-70 Kunyung Road and
seven others in the shire from special use zone to green wedge.
The council had opposed the Ryman development because of its “inappro priate” scale and potential to erode the vital green buffer separating Morning ton and Mount Eliza.
Marsh said the planning panel deci sion was a huge blow for the commu nity which had sought to protect the green buffer between the two towns.
“I know many will be extremely disappointed by the panel’s decision,” he said.
Community group Save Reg’s Wedge, which had also fought to stop the development of the eight hectare site, is reeling in the wake of the plan ning panel’s shock decision.
Spokesperson Leigh Eustace said the group had not given up trying to stop
the Ryman development and was “still in there fighting”.
A VCAT appeal by Ryman Health care against council’s refusal to grant a permit for its application is currently being heard.
“The panel’s decision was very disappointing, but it’s not the end,” Eustace said.
The proposed new zoning was part of a package of changes designed to protect the peninsula’s green wedge areas from inappropriate development by rezoning eight parcels of land that lie outside the urban growth boundary.
The amendment proposed to rezone the sites from special use zone 2 to either green wedge zone, public park and recreation zone or public conser vation and resource zone.
Marsh said the council believed the
land outside the urban growth bound ary should be protected from de facto urbanisation.
“We’re determined to explore every avenue to ensure our prized green wedge is protected,” he said.
“Council will look closely at the panel’s findings and decide on the next steps in the coming months.
“In the interim, I call on the planning minister to urgently step in and ensure 60-70 Kunyung Road Mount Eliza, a vital green space between Mount Eliza and Mornington, is preserved. Regard less of what comes next, council has done everything it can to protect this site.”
As well as not supporting the rezon ing of the Kunyung Road site, the panel did not support the rezoning of the Bay Park Scout Camp at 60 Hearn
Road, Mount Martha from special use zone 2 to green wedge.
Other sites included in the amend ment include a section of foreshore reserve adjacent to 60-70 Kunyung Road, Mount Eliza; 50A McGregor Avenue, Mount Martha; 19 Tallis Drive, Mornington (Mornington Golf Course); 46 London Bridge Road, Portsea (Portsea Golf Course); 35 Sun nyside Road, Mount Eliza (Manyung recreation camp); and 3875 Point Nepean Road (Point Nepean National Park).
Two other sites, 74-76 Marine Parade, Shoreham and 62 Oakbank Road, Mornington, were proposed to be removed from being exempt from the metropolitan green wedge land.

THE Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s payout of $350,000 to end its financial com mitments to the Peninsula Aero Club has been described as secretive.
The payout released the council from a 173 agreement signed in 2002, which had tied the council to a 20-year commitment to assist the club with certain “financial accommodation” in relation to maintenance.
Those obligations – which included paying for the cost of resurfacing the airport’s runway — was apparently reliant on the airport paying an annual maintenance fee of $400 to the council.
Freedom of Information documents show the PAC did not make any of the required payments between August 2002 and January 2021, nor were the required five-yearly meetings to review the contract ever held.
Tyabb resident Peter Davis, who lives near the airport, has accused the council of making the payout “in secret”.
Davis said he was concerned that ratepayers were not notified or “advocated for” in the deci sion to make the payout.
He said it was “an extraordinary” amount to extinguish an agreement that partly expired on 5 August 2022.
“There is and was no transparency and the money has already been paid,” Davis said.
The primary purpose of the 173 agreement was to provide money for the PAC to seal the north-south runway at the airfield, but the agree ment also included obligations on the PAC to
develop and implement a business plan, share the profits of air shows, allow the airfield (now classed as an airport) to be used for various emergency services, and actively pursue fund ing.
In turn, the council was obligated to support and encourage activities associated with the airfield, pay for the cost of sealing the runway, and pay for some maintenance and inspection requirements.
Parts of the 20-year agreement expired in Au gust, although some elements of the agreement did not have an end date.
Council documents note that the payout was preferable to being exposed to the “potential risk, legal exposure and costs associated with being bound by the agreement”.
The council did not respond to Davis’s claims that none of the annual $400 payments to coun cil that were written into the agreement had been paid by the aero club.
The mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said the payout released the council from ongoing and expensive obligation.
“Council entered negotiations to end the 173 Agreement to remove all potential ongoing obli gations and liabilities in the long-term interests of ratepayers,” he said.
“As you would expect, we deal with these decisions and negotiations confidentially as per the Local Government Act.
“Council's decision to negotiate and the final settlement amount of $350,000 is on the public record. We are pleased to have successfully terminated the 173 Agreement and that the shire no longer has any obligation or liability under this legacy agreement.”
THE latest section of an ongoing upgrade of Point Leo Surf Life Saving Cub was opened by club president Julia O’Shaughnessy on Saturday 15 October.
First built in 1955, the clubhouse has grown over the years and is undergoing the second stage of the Point Leo Community Hub up grades.
The latest work included converting underu tilised bunk rooms into a room for training, presentations, meetings and as a “hangout” for younger club members.
A new caretakers’ room was also included
along with upgrades to fire safety systems.
Money for the works came from the state government ($159,000), federal government ($300.000) and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council ($20,000).
The next stage of works will include creating a wheelchair ramp from the car park to the chang ing rooms, separating vehicles and pedestrians for safety, increased lifesaving equipment storage, improved bushfire resilience and some drainage upgrades.

MORNINGTON Peninsula residents are being urged to stop using some rodent baits which are blamed for killing such birds of prey as owls, tawny frogmouths and kookaburras.
Mount Eliza mother of two Julia McCarthy and her family were devastated last week when a kookaburra that had been nesting with its part ner in a nearby tree was found dead in her yard.
“My children have loved watching these beautiful birds every year, so to find one of them dead in the yard with no obvious signs of injuries is absolutely awful,” she said.
“I took it to a wildlife carer, who said it was likely to be secondary poisoning from rat bait as there were no injuries, and it made me so angry that people use these poisons when there are baits available that can be used safely that don’t cause secondary deaths.
“We felt so lucky to have these two in our tree as we are wildlife lovers, and it’s awful to know the other bird has lost its partner.”
Rye wildlife carer Brenda Marmion said dozens of kookaburras and owls are killed every year all over the peninsula through secondary poisoning.
“It’s such a horrible and slow way to die for anything, rodents and birds, as it literally causes them to bleed out,” she said.
“I always tell people not to bait. If you have a rodent problem try traps, at least it’s instant and the animals don’t suffer, and there is no chance a bird of prey will eat it.”
Wildlife Victoria says that if rat baits are necessary, only first generation ones with active ingredients warfarin and coumatetralyl should be used. According to the organisation, wildlife and pets can cope with these relatively well when taken in through secondary poisoning.
In a bid to protect Victoria’s native birds,
animals and pets, in May the Greens unsuccessfully attempted to force the state government to ban the public sale of second-generation rodent poisons.
Although the public sale of these poisons is banned in Europe, the United States and Canada without a licence, second-generation anti-coagulant poi sons can be bought at many supermar kets and hardware stores in Australia.
First generation rodenticides are safer for wildlife as they work more slowly and break down quickly and other wild life are unlikely to die from secondary exposure.
The Australian Pesticides and Veteri nary Medicines Authority is reviewing second-generation rodenticides, with a proposal for a regulatory decision due next year.
THE continuing loss of trees on the Mornington Peninsula has prompt ed calls for the council to adopt a strategy to halt “tree recession”.
Cr Steve Holland wants a tree canopy (urban forest) strategy presented to council for adoption before 1 August 2023, but with an initial timeline, budget and implementation report presented to council before 1 January.
The strategy would apply to all areas on the peninsula within the urban growth boundary, with the aim of substantially increasing canopy cover across residential and commercial areas by a yet to be determined percentage and date.
Holland said tree removal and loss was a significant issue on the peninsula, an area loved by most residents for its rich and thriving flora.
He said the strategy would not only recognise the value of established vegetation in relation to the character of townships and the wellbeing of residents, but it would also increase flora diversity and improve the health of local ecosys tems and mitigate the urban heat island effect and reduce average ground temperatures in summer.
"We are experiencing a tree
recession,” he said.
“This policy aims to recognise the value of established vegetation and the effect tree canopy coverage has on the character of our town ships.
“Many of us live on the Morning ton Peninsula precisely because it’s not a concrete jungle and it’s going to take many years to re-establish a healthy tree canopy.
“In many cases it may not be so much about halting tree removal as it is about encouraging more plant ing, not just on private property but also on public land including nature strips. We’re looking at how that can be more easily permitted.
““If you have to remove a tree or a tree dies, plant one or two to replace it."
Ecologist Mal Legg said tree loss on the peninsula was also devastat ing for wildlife, with the region home to a large variety of native birds that need trees to nest in, and 25 per cent of native vertebrates relying on tree hollows.
He said that while the planning scheme gave some protection to trees and vegetation, more should be done to stop land clearing.
Cr Holland said the strategy may necessitate the amendment of existing council policies, includ ing those relating to nature strip landscaping.
The
BEACHGOERS have been reminded to look out for hooded plovers nesting along Morning ton Peninsula shorelines with the threatened species at risk of being scared off and their nests trampled by people and dogs.
The Conservation Regulator, Parks Victoria and Birdlife Australia have again launched Op eration Save our Hoodies (SoHo), urging peo ple to take note of rules around hooded plover nests and to give the birds plenty of space.
Hooded plovers lay their eggs in shallow sand scrapes from August through to March and where possible nesting sites are fenced for protection.
Conservation Regulator and Parks Victoria officers are patrolling nesting sites on the peninsula from Cape Schanck to Portsea, including at St Andrews beach and Rye back beach. Birdlife Australia volunteers also have a presence at beaches to raise awareness of how beach users can help the birds.
If an incubating adult bird is scared away from its nest by passers-by or dogs, its eggs can bake in the sun or become too cold in the cool weather, which can kill the developing chick.
In 2021-22, as part of the inaugural SoHo officers conducted more than 150 patrols along the coast, engaging with 900 people and issuing 44 infringement notices for various offences, including dogs off lead in national parks.
Last breeding season, of the 1003 hooded plover eggs recorded along Victoria’s coast line by BirdLife, 185 hatched and 66 chicks survived to become juveniles.
The Conservation Regulator investigates reports of dogs harassing hooded plovers and reports can be made to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Keith Platt

CONSERVATIONISTS and com munity groups have drawn up a plan to protect Western Port from “inappropriate industrialisation and development, pollution and climate disruption”.
Western Port is the state’s second largest bay and an internationally recognised Ramsar wetland.
Groups behind the proposal - the Victorian National Parks Association, Western Port Biosphere Foundation, Save Westernport, Phillip Island Con servation Society and Environment Victoria - want all political parties to back their Strategic Framework for the future of Western Port ahead of the Saturday 26 November state election.
The groups say the quality of water flowing into Western Port from five of its nine estuaries is rated “very poor”.
Changes to land use has led to riv ers are “increasingly carrying more pollution into the bay” and pressure on natural systems will only increase with the population of the Western Port catchment expected to double in the next 20 years.
The decline of schnapper and waterbird numbers “is a sign that the bay needs a new vision in order to thrive”.
"For too long Western Port has been the poor cousin of Port Phillip - that's why it's so important all political parties and candidates back this new protection plan, VNPA campaigner Shannon Hurley said.
“Western Port’s health is severely declining, and the structures in place to protect this biodiversity hot spot cannot keep up with the level of threat.
“An ironclad commitment from all potential governments would guaran tee the future of this precious ecosys tem and its Ramsar-listed wetlands.”
Save Westernport vice-president Jane Carnegie said Western Port had “three to four times the marine life found in Port Phillip”, including the world’s largest colonies of little penguins, short-tailed shearwaters and
Australian fur seal”.
Julia Stockigt, also of Save West ernport, said the success of businesses “and a thriving regional tourist econ omy” relied on the local environment and the reputation of a healthy bay.
The groups say their plan to protect Western Port comes 18 months after a community campaign convinced the state government to block AGL's plan to establish a gas import terminal at Crib Point.
If adopted, the strategic framework would:
n Bring together traditional custo
dians, community representatives, government agencies, councils, local businesses and industries, fishing and recreational group to develop and oversee the plan.
n Establish a dedicated Western Port fund with annual finance at least equivalent to that being spent in Port Phillip.
“The Western Port Biosphere Foundation’s purpose is to advocate for planning and projects that enable communities to develop and live sus tainably while protecting the environ ment that contributes so much to the
lifestyle and prosperity enjoyed by residents and visitors to the biosphere reserve,” biosphere CEO Mel Barker said.
“A comprehensive and scientifically supported plan for Western Port is essential to taking action on climate and maintaining the region’s rich bio diversity, while promoting a healthy lifestyle and creating new opportuni ties and jobs.”
For details about the framework go to actforwesternportbay.au. Groups, businesses and individuals can also sign up to support it at the website.
THE Crittenden family celebrated 40 years of wine making on the Morning ton Peninsula on October 18, taking time to reflect on the successes and dedication of founders Garry and Margaret Crittenden.
The pioneering couple started the winery in the early 1980s, after horti culturalist Garry decided to combine his love of growing things with his penchant for good wine and bought a greenfield site in Dromana, at the foot of Arthurs Seat.
With the help of friends, the Critten dens embarked on their grape growing venture with gusto, planting five acres (2.02 hectares) of grapes in the second weekend of September 1982 and, in doing so, doubling the amount of vines in the fledgling peninsula wine growing industry to 10 acres (4.04ha).
Daughter Zoe, who now helps to run the estate with her brother Rollo, said her parents were quick to see the potential of their venture had to build on the tourism aspects of the winery experience by offering good food as an extension of the cellar door.
“Mum was a beautiful cook who dreamed of having a restaurant, so in 1992 she opened up her first cellar door and restaurant,” she said.
“Everything was made from scratch, she was just amazing at what she did and it was very successful.”
The kitchen is now leased to chef Zac Poulier for his Stillwater at Crit tenden, but the restaurant remains an integral part of the Crittenden Wines experience.
While the couple originally planted cabernet, pinot noir and chardonnay, their commitment to making great wines saw them soon branch out, introducing new grape varietals such as barbera, nebbiolo, dolcetto and sangiovese to Victoria and Australia, and eventually expanding to include 11 acres (4.45ha). Crittenden wines are now sold in most Australian states and exported to the United Kingdom.
Garry, who was the first winemaker in Australia to commercialise Ital ian wine varieties, also a pioneered sustainable farming and regenerative practices, abandoning all synthetic chemicals and using only biological farming methods to restore and main tain the health of the soil.
“Now, we have a large compost heap, and we mulch and spread every year, we also plant inter-row crops like fava beans and rye grasses - it’s a very different way of farming to when the winery started,” Zoe said.
“Within a year or two of making those changes, we started to see a difference in the grapes, and it’s all down to improved soil health and having the right bugs.”
Like her husband Garry, Margaret was also a visionary and established accommodation on site, making Crit tenden’s one of the first wineries to do so. Margaret died two years ago but has left a legacy that will likely continue for generations.
While Garry is semi-retired, Zoe says he is proud of what he and Mar garet achieved at Crittenden Wines over four decades, and still likes to be involved as much as he can.
ACOUSTIC accordionist Valeri Ozeran and friend Angelica played cowbells and yodelled while their audience drank tea and ate scones with jam and cream at an event which raised $5000 for war-ravaged families in the Ukraine capital, Kyiv.
More than 200 people attended the fundraiser on Sunday 16 October at St Marks Uniting Church, Mornington.
David Price, one of the organis ers, said the money would be “sent securely” to families in need from where Ozeran had migrated.

CANDIDATES for the Saturday 26 November state election are steadily tailoring their cam paigns to attract Mornington Peninsula voters.
Long regarded as a Liberal Party stronghold, Labor gained a foothold with Chris Brayne win ning Nepean at the 2018 election, albeit with a majority of less than two per cent.
The other two peninsula electorates, Morning ton and Hastings were held by the Liberals, but neither of the winning candidates are standing for their party this time around.
The picture will become clearer after Friday 11 November, the final dau for all candidates to reg ister with the Victorian Electoral Commission.
Boundary changes have nominally made Hast ings a Labor seat and in Mornington long stand ing Liberal MP David Morris has been dropped in preference to Chris Crewther, a former MP for the federal seat of Dunkley, which he lost in 2019 after one term.
In Hastings, Briony Hutton has replaced Neale Burgess as the Liberal candidate. Mr Burgess an nounced he would not be seeking reelection.
Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has decided to become a highly visible player in the election by listing candidates’ promises of money that effect the peninsula on its website.
On Sunday, there were no promises listed by Labor, the Greens or any other candidates for any of the peninsula’s three electorates.
Liberal promises measured in the hundreds of millions of dollars, covering anything from sports fields (including the non-existent Somer ville Sporting Precinct) to schools, a hospital (Rosebud) and extending and electrifying the rail line from Frankston to Baxter and the Morning ton Peninsula Freeway.
The Animal Justice Party last week called on the state government to organise a “soft herding” solution to move hundreds of kangaroos trapped on private property outside of the Mornington Peninsula National Park at Cape Schanck.
The party’s candidates say that if elected they will work towards ensuring “biodiversitysensitive urban design as a consideration in all planning decisions”.
While not listed on the shire’s website, Labor candidate for Mornington, Georgia Fowler, is
sued a news release basically reminding voters that the state government was “investing” $2.9m “towards Alexandra Park Community Health Hub” at Mornington.
If the bookies are anything to go by, teal independent candidate Kate Lardner is now the favourite to win Mornington, closely followed by the Liberals with Labor and the Greens far behind.
In Hastings, Local Government Minister Melissa Horne announced the government was “investing” a very exact figure of $246,997 towards a children’s playground on a reserve in Olivia Way. Accompanying Horne’s news release were pictures featuring Labor’s Hastings candidate Paul Mercurio, a shire councillor.
Futurefish Foundation director David Kramer, once touted as a possible Labor candidate for ei ther Hastings or Mornington, issued a statement welcoming a Liberal Party announcement that, if elected, it would centralise the management of boat ramps in Port Phillip and Western Port.
“This means [the shire] will no longer be responsible for boat ramps such as Sorrento, Rye, Mornington and Hastings and the car parks that go with them. It also spells the end for the various committees of management who have responsibility for smaller boat ramps,” Kramer said.
But it was the future of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway that sparked the most heated exchange.
Liberal leader Matthew Guy promised $175m to duplicate the freeway between Jetty and Boneo roads, build an overpass “pedestrian safety improvements” at Jetty Road as well as an “upgraded intersection for Boneo Road”.
The Liberal candidate for Nepean, Sam Groth, said the state Labor government had “ignored” peninsula families.
Brayne accused the Liberals of repeating unde livered promises.
He said the promises were made “with the intent of winning a seat back, and not at all with the intent of actually delivering the project”.
“The choice is clear this election; do we con tinue to get things done on the southern penin sula with a member of parliament who has lived and breathed this community their whole life, or do we simply go back to the previous situa tion where nothing happens on the Mornington Peninsula?”
ELIZABETH Woolcock planned to walk 30 kilometres to raise money for her campaign as an independent candidate for the state seat of Nepean.
However, she says her initial reasons for the walk “pale into to insignificance” when compared to the anguish and trauma faced by people diagnosed with cancer, particularly women with ovarian cancer.
Money raised by Woolcock’s walk from Safety Beach to Sorrento on Sunday 6 Novem ber will now be split between her own elec tion campaign needs and research into ovarian cancer.
“Critical funding is needed for research to develop a detection test and save hundreds of lives a year from an aggressive and devastating killer,” she said.
Sarah Doughton, who has spent the past two years undergoing numerous surgeries and treatments for ovarian cancer, will be walking alongside Woolcock.
Although the money they raise will go to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF), the women stress that the organisation is nonpolitical and the route they have chosen is the same as the foundation’s annual February Walk With Women.
Doughton, 45, who lives in Sandringham but has spent time in her family home on the penin sula, describes her pre-cancer life as one where she enjoyed her job (in real estate), sailing, rid ing horses, travelling and the great outdoors.
“The day before the fateful day that changed my world was normal. l had an early morning personal training session, worked a full and busy day, went for a short run after work before settling down for dinner and an early night,” Doughton said.
“Overnight, everything changed.”
On 10 June 2020 she went to the doctor with a distended abdomen. X-rays and ultrasounds “showed a large mass on and around my ova ries”.
The following six days were a confused blur.
“Fast tracked to see a specialist two days later, I was rushed to surgery on 16 June for a radical hysterectomy and de-baulking and was subsequently diagnosed with ovarian cancer –stage 3C.
“I then underwent six months of gruelling weekly chemotherapy sessions, followed by 12 months immunotherapy and a total of 10 surgeries, with more scheduled over the coming months.
“I am on a daily cocktail of medications and navigate the side effects of the rigorous treat ment protocols.”
Doughton now describes her body as “a roadmap of scars that each tell the story of hope, determination and survival”.
Testing has revealed a gene mutation that meant she always had a high risk of developing breast and or ovarian cancer.
“Given this diagnosis l have also had a pre ventative bilateral mastectomy and reconstruc tion to remove the risk of me also developing
breast cancer,” Doughton said.
“Cancer has been a tough battle for both me and the family, but with that has come the blessing of knowledge of the genetic link and I am able to share that and ultimately protect my wider family and loved ones for generations to come.
“After the storm comes sunshine and two and a half years on l am in remission and life is starting to take shape again.
“I don’t know what my future holds, but at the moment it is looking very positive, given l responded well to treatment, am recovering well from surgeries and have had access to amazing medical intervention and some of Australia’s best medical experts.”
Doughton advises women to “listen to your body and advocate for yourself”.
“Unfortunately, there is no early detection test for ovarian cancer and the symptoms can often be missed, misconstrued and ignored.”

THE discovery of polio virus in wastewater in the United States and United Kingdom has raised fears that low vaccination rates may undo years of work to eliminate the infectious disease.
The traces found in the US and UK and one confirmed death are alarming, according to Po lio Network Victoria’s deputy chair Fran Henke.
Henke, of Hastings, said the health commu nity had worked tirelessly to eliminate polio from the world but “it appears those who have rejected or failed to access vaccination against the virus for their children, are threatening [those] years of work.”
“Those of us left with the debilitating effects of polio before vaccines were available, do not wish any child or individual to go through late effects,” she said.
“Survivors have been left disabled and discriminated against, especially with the emergence of the misunderstood post-polio syndrome. Some symptoms, oddly enough, are similar to those of long COVID.”
Henke said members of the Mornington Pen insula Post Polio Support Group would attend this year’s Polio Day, the 35th and first for two years.
“The theme of Polio Day this month, is Navi gating the System to assist those struggling to access NDIS and aged care packages.
“Most of us met in various hospitals and in stitutions as children, so this event is like a long lost family gathering.
“None of us wish to see one person subjected to the effects of polio that we have borne and strongly urge vaccination for all.”

THE national obsession with trying to pick a winner has again taken hold in the corridors and partitioned offices of power at Morning ton Peninsula Shire Council.
As with this time last year, bets are again being placed and favourites backed in what’s known as the mayoral dance.
Favourite for the top job (which becomes vacant in November) is incumbent mayor Cr Anthony Marsh but, in a twist on previ ous years, it seems those inside the council headquarters also fancy that his “partner”, or deputy mayor, will also see a return of Cr Lisa Dixon.
If the 2:1 favourites are first across the finish it would be the first time in the history of local government on the Mornington Peninsula that a mayor and deputy have been returned for consecutive terms.
The mayoral race is mostly a Melbourne Cup-style “two bob each way” amusement for council staff but offers a $100,000 plus prize for the ultimate winner and a $60,000 allowance for the deputy mayor.
Following closely behind the Marsh-Dixon duo this year are Crs Sarah Race and Kerri McCafferty, currently showing at 3:1.
Crs Steve Holland and Debra Mar are the outsiders at 5:1.
Looking back 12 months, the 11-member council was virtually led by an aligned group of six councillors.
However, that group is rumoured to be now evenly split, handing power (and much sought after votes) to the previous five outsiders.
The next mayor will also be elected in the wake of the council’s poor showing in a public opinion poll (“Shire hits ‘all time’ low in satisfaction” The News 4/10/22).

THE pre-Christmas reopening of the popular Beleura cliff path in Morn ington is under a cloud following at least two more landslips in the past two weeks.
The 750-metre path, which extends from the Mornington cliffs to Mills Beach, was closed by council work ers in mid-September and barriers erected following a landslip and concerns over public safety.
But after complaints from resi dents, walkers and the Beleura Cliff Friends Group, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council agreed to implement remediation “options” to reopen the path as soon as possible and engage consultants to undertake a more com prehensive risk assessment.
Landslips of on 7 and 12 October then forced the council to “revisit” that plan.
Mornington resident Peter Nichol son said path users were upset that the original reports that led to the closure were not made publicly available.
At the council meeting on Tuesday 18 October Cr Steve Holland success fully moved that any risk or engineer ing reports and advice that informed the decision to temporarily close the Beleura cliff path be released to the public before Friday 21 October, and that stakeholders (residents/friends’ groups) be kept informed.
By close of business Friday, the documents had not been released and Friends of Beleura Cliff Path had not been notified if they would be.
Climate change and sustainability manager Melissa Burrage said the council was closely monitoring the stability of the Beleura cliff path and had sought further expert advice after the appearance of more unsafe areas along the path.
“We are working to open the path as soon as possible, with the safety of the community central to our decision making,” she said.
Nicholson said the 100-year-old path had a long and colourful history and was an important asset to the community.
Real estate agents in Mount Eliza have been cold calling my home, offering to list our property and informing me of the wonderful prices being achieved in our area.
I have issues with this initiative. First, as members of our local community I would have expected they would understand that our privacy is important to us, and that their calls are unsolicited, intrusive and unwanted. This applies particularly to those of us who are of a particular later life demographic.
Secondly, our number is private and not listed in any phone book or other authorised listing. This implies that the agents are using a “list” acquired from a third party. I have not given any listing vendor the right to use my number.
If real estate agents wish to inform me of the great opportunities their services may give me, then please drop a letter or dodger in my let terbox. I can decide what steps to take, although most often it is in the recycle bin, as my letter box cries out “no advertising materials”.
So, listen in agents: desist, stop phoning me.
Howard Mitchell, Mount ElizaThe Tyabb Aero Club, in existence since the 1960s, gained legitimacy with VCAT (the Victo rian Civil and Administrative Tribunal) declaring it an airport (“Aero club given clear air to oper ate” The News 11/10/22)).
Tyabb is not the only airport in continual fights with the local population. Toowoomba airport has been at loggerheads with detractors for decades. The argument for Toowoomba, as it is for Tyabb, is the time difference between the emergence of the airport and the suburbs surrounding it.
And that answer comes right back at councils that continue to allow developers to buy and de velop land right up to the boundary of an airport.
Anne Kruger, Rye
As a long time resident of Tyabb I am fed up with people who live elsewhere telling the world what the people of Tyabb think (“Sensible out come” Letters 18/10/22).
No one in Tyabb wants the airfield shut down, just controlled, so the residents can enjoy the peace they are entitled to.
As far as giving back to the community, the money from the air show is largely the result of community groups doing their own fundraising at this event, kindly allowed by Peninsula Aero Club.
revised if required) and would cause wide scale clearance of native vegetation.
The Liberal claims of “so long overdue”, “gets people out of cars”, “service the hospital and university” and “help kids get to major sporting infrastructures” are grossly exaggerated.
I would like more of my taxes to be spent on sustainability.
For example, $100m would provide 100kw solar systems to 500 schools and $100m would finance feral proof fencing for roughly 170,000 hectares within national parks, thereby enhanc ing and protecting biodiversity.
All levels of government must embrace sustainability, or the natural functioning of our planet is doomed. Henry Kelsall, independent candidate for Frankston
Frankston is supposed to be represented in state parliament by Paul Edbrooke. However, Mr Ed brooke has steadfastly refused to help our region gain his government’s support for electrifying and extending the Frankston train line through Frankston East, Karingal and Langwarrin to Peninsula Link freeway.
For the first time our community has been able to read why (“Labor rules out rail plan ‘without checks’” The News 18/10/22).
Mr Edbrooke claims the project could wipe out the historic Frankston signal box. Then don’t let it, Mr Edbrooke. The state government has the final say over that decision.
He also claims the project potentially requires bulldozing of hundreds of homes. No it doesn’t.
Acquisition of a sliver of a Monash University car park might be necessary for a new station, but at this early stage any option involving destruction of homes can be replaced by another alternative already on the table.
Mr Edbrooke says the project would mean destruction of 10 hectares of green wedge land. That’s not correct either. It might have been if train stabling was required, but the stabling was built at Seaford in 2020.
Frankston’s rail extension is a nationally recognised infrastructure project that the federal government is committed to building and has partially funded. It has a clear public benefit case and is one of only three national infrastruc ture priority initiatives listed by Infrastructure Australia in 2020 as urgently needed by Victoria within the next five years.
Victorian Liberals are promising private school a cash splash to bring “private facilities” up to date, while government schools languish in poverty.
There has been a disproportionate increase in executive salaries at independent schools, with some principals at large, capital city schools now earning well over $600,000 while average salary for a school principal is $80,481 a year in Victoria.
Matthew Guy and the Victorian Liberals are promising $175 million to Victorian private schools because exploiting JobKeeper wasn’t nearly enough.
The Gonski Institute for Education report was removed from the website by the COALition government after the 2013 election and ignored for the next decade.
On the other hand, Labor will upgrade More than 40 Victorian schools which will be made more inclusive for students with disabilities as part of a $7.89 million funding boost and a $6 billion hospitals project to build a new medical precinct in inner-Melbourne and upgrade two nearby facilities which has been billed as the biggest in Australian history.

The candidacy of Dr Kate Lardner in Morn ington offers voters the opportunity to elect an independent woman to represent our community and break from the scandal-ridden and rudder less policies of the current Labor and Liberal parties in Victoria.
We saw the break from traditional voting pat terns in the last federal election. This can and should continue in Mornington.
Kate was born, raised, and educated in Mornington. She is a practising physician at a local hospital and now raising a family here. She wants meaningful actions on issues important to all Australians, climate change, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and transparency in politics. She can bring an independent voice for Mornington in the Victorian legislature.

Tina Bennett, TyabbMy blood levels are slowly diminishing. I have written a letter, although my English skills may leave a lot to be desired. Readers may feel my anguish and feeling of futility when I read on the agenda for Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s Tuesday 18 October meeting that a further $350,000 has been given to the Peninsula Aero Club on top of other grants from the state and shire.
I have followed this issue since 2004 and, unfortunately, we battle big money and the alignment of councillors to this particular entity over the years.
Unwittingly, they may have been duped. But to the community $1 million dollars is a lot of money to give to a private entity.
David Lines, TyabbI was very disappointed to read that the “Vic torian Liberals have promised to extend the Frankston train line to Baxter if they win the state election” (“Promise to pay for Baxter extension” The News 11/10/22).
In the last state election it was mooted at a cost of around $500 million, which has now in creased to $971m, with a business case in 2020 revealing that it could cost $1.5 billion.
This is an incredible amount of money for something that is adequately serviced by a small diesel carriage (whose timetable could be

Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke is quoted as say ing “I have people at my office asking me if their home is going to be bulldozed now”, but his office in Beach Street has been manned only in the last week after being empty for many months at taxpayers’ expense (“Labor rules out rail plan ‘without checks’” The News 18/10/22).
How could people go to his office to see if their house is to be bulldozed, or is it his staff he is talking about?
How much rail crossing removal work has been done in Frankston?
I did not find Edbrooke to be very convinc ing when he said that there was no proposal for a safe injecting room in Frankston. He should state more clearly if there will be an injecting room and whether he will oppose it.
Russell Morse, KaringalWhile private school funding in Australia has increased five times the rate of public schools over the decade of COALition rule, only 17 per cent went to government schools, despite the fact that they educate about 65 per cent of all students and more than 80 per cent of the most disadvantaged students.
As a disability worker on the Mornington Pen insula, I would like to thank our local member [Nepean MP] Chris Brayne for the introduction of the flexi-bus.
This is a truly innovative and extremely wel come initiative.
The flexi-bus has now made travel less burdensome for people in the disability and aged care sectors and it can increase community participation.
We lived at the Riverside Motel Wahgunyah on the Victorian bank of the Murray River for the past 20 years. We had a major flood in 2016 with the water 600mm below our floor level.
We have dodged a bullet and moved back to safe and secure Mount Eliza.
The motel may be flooded for the first time since it was built in 1973.
The sole reason for our current floods is that our dams are not big enough to hold all the water that falls as rain in wet years like this.
The Murray River has for the past 150 plus years flooded or had a drought in six to 10-year cycles. Sometimes it flooded two years running. During the last drought, the environmentalists said we would never have heavy rain again, so the previous state government built a desalina tion plant.
Guess what, the heavy rain has returned. Our dams are not big enough carry all the excess water and they are now all overflowing causing massive flooding downstream.
Geoffrey Merrifield, Rye
The flexi- bus is an added option for people to be able to access their community. For a small fee, the bus will come straight to your door and take you to your desired destination. Wheelchairs are also included. Thanks to Chris, this will make a very positive change for many people.
Scammers are on their marks, not for money, for your vote in the upcoming state election. If I voted in the Mornington seat I’d try mental health nurse Georgia Fowler - I like the name.
Not to be outdone our Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is also into the election result, indirectly of course, but clear enough for those with two eyeballs, with a $158 million “shout” for road trauma. Fair enough the need for road improvements, but it’s all about timing. “A lack of government assistance,” said our seemingly non-political mayor.
I ignore the home phone calls but as expected, they access my iPhone. I’m a Nepean voter, my
This is the one in 200 year flood that we have not prepared for, and records have only been kept for 150 years.
In The management of our dams our state gov ernment and the Murray-Darling Basin Author ity is totally incompetent, they will not release water early for flood mitigation because they are not paid for it by the irrigators.
They would rather flood downstream commu nities by letting out water when it is too late, to protect their dam walls. They have no considera tion for the welfare of downstream communities, only maximise their profits
Lake Dartmouth is overflowing for the first time in 26 years, all of our existing dams are full, the excess water has to go somewhere. This whole disaster could have been prevented.
Terry Young, Mount ElizaWHEN Mr. A. Taylor, of the Pier Ho tel, took up his residence in Frankston about 12 months ago, he stated that he could not live in a town that did not posses a bowling green.
As the Frankston people did not make a further move to procure a green after their rebuff in connection with the foreshore proposition, Mr. Taylor proceeded to make a bowling green of his own.
He selected an attractive spot at the rear of the Pier Hotel, and yesterday witnessed the opening of as pretty a little green as one would wish to see.
Before coming to Frankston, Mr. Taylor was a prominent member of the Williamstown Bowling Club, and yesterday a large party of William stown bowlers visited Frankston to take part in the opening ceremony.
The visitors included a number of the city councillors and other promi nent citizens of Williamstown.
They were met by a large number, of Frankston ladies and gentlemen, who assembled to take part in the proceedings.
Mr. Stephen Mills, of the William stown Bowling Club, in declaring the green open for play, said the Frankston people should feel grateful to Mr. Taylor for providing them with a green.
It was sign of progress. No progres sive town was without its bowling green.
He advised the Frankston people to try and make arrangements with Mr. Taylor for a lease of the green, so that they could form their own club
and run it as they wished. It would be a great benefit to Frankston in every way.
Mr. Mills then called on Miss Doris Macnab to throw the first jack, and Mrs. Taylor to throw the first bowl.
The ladies named carried out their tasks as to the manner born amidst rounds of applause.
The visitors were entertained at af ternoon tea, provided by Mrs. Taylor.
Great Interest was taken in the match Frankston v. Williamstown, in which the home team proved victori ous.

A CASE of interest to Carrum residents was heard in the County Court at Melbourne on 16th inst, before Judge Woinarski, when Messrs Birtchnell Bros. & Porter, well known city estate agents, having large land interests in and around Carrum, sued Mr. A. E. Mudge and his wife, local residents, for £120 damages, for trespass on and use and occupation of the plaintiffs’ land.
The plaintiffs alleged that the defen dants (Mr. Mudge and his wife) hav ing purchased a block of land from
the plaintiffs, used and occupied ether land of the plaintiffs adjoining, and erected tents thereon without being authorised by the plaintiffs to do so.
The plaintiffs’ claim was based on such alleged trespass and unauthor ised use of the plaintiffs’ land.
The defendants pleaded that there had been no trespass by them, and that any use and occupation by them of the plaintiffs’ land was with the plaintiffs’ consent and approval.
Judge Wolnarski, after hearing the evidence, stated that he was satisfied that the memory of Mr. L. A. Birt chnell, the principal witness for the plaintiffs, was not dependable, and that the defendants had satisfied him that the plaintiffs had given leave and license for such use and occupation as alleged.
The plaintiffs’ claim was not al lowed, and a verdict with costs was given for the defendants, for whom Mr. Magennis’ appeared, instructed by Mr. L. R. N. Utber, of Frankston.

MR. O. J. Olsen’s Buick car, which has been running for hire in this dis trict, has a record to its credit that will take some beating.
During 15 months this car covered 16,000 miles, and to-day it appears to be little the worse for service.
The wonderful part of the achieve ment is that the distance stated was accomplished with the original set of Goodyear tyres furnished with the car, two of the tyres still being on the car.
This sounds something like a record, due no doubt in some measure to expert driving and careful han dling.
Such an excellent performance must appeal strongly to anyone contemplat ing the purchase of a Buick car.

From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 27 October 1922
THE Mornington Peninsula has a long, colour ful and story-filled history. Front Beach, Back Beach (FBBB) aims to celebrate this with its ambitious site-responsive public art works.
This November, Mornington Peninsula Re gional Gallery together with Deakin University’s Public Art Commission will present FBBB at fifteen different locations across the Peninsula. Designed as a road-trip for art lovers, FBBB will feature the work of eighteen local and national artists and collectives who have been invited to respond to key sites, stories and communi ties which have shaped this unique region of Victoria.
The artworks will take many forms from sculptural works viewable throughout the program to performance, film and activations viewable at set session times.
The stories the artists are responding to begin thousands of years ago with the landscape and with the Bunurong/ Boon Wurrung Traditional Owners at Monmar, a sacred women’s place used for birthing, ceremony and initiation. Thou sands of years later the first shots fired in both World Wars occurred in the same place at from Point Nepean (Monmar).
National myths, conspiracy and modern political history were further shaped at Monmar, Cheviot Beach, the site of Harold Holt’s disap pearance in 1969.
Whilst there’s hundreds of stories to be shared, the Front Beach, Back Beach curatorium, spear
headed by co-Artistic Directors Danny Lacy (Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery), Cameron Bishop and David Cross (both from Deakin University’s Public Art Commission) – Mornington Peninsula current (or returning) locals themselves – have identified fifteen loca tions across 723sqkm that create a unique set of conditions for artistic response.
The artists commissioned for FBBB represent a diverse cross section of leading and emerging artists from across the country. Including local, Flinders based artist Vera Möller and Victorian artists Amanda Shone, Geoff Robinson, Gold Satino, James Geurts, Kait James, Jarra Karali nar Steel, LAST Collective, Lisa Waup, Maree Clarke, Rebecca Jensen & Aviva Endean, Shane McGrath and Taree Mackzenzie. Interstate artists include Anna Breckon & Nat Randall (NSW), Hiromi Tango ( QLD) and Lucy Bleach (TAS).
The fifteen projects have been arranged into three geographical hubs – Western Port, Fore shore and Point Nepean – each of which contain five commissions. Each hub will be activated for ten days, with associated programming sched uled within this period.
The project is supported by the Restart Invest ment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund–an Australian Government initiative–and is present ed by Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery and Deakin University’s Public Art Commission. For the full program visit www.fbbb.com.au
IT’S been a while. So long, in fact, that I feared that I’d completely forgotten how to do something that was once, if not second nature, at least a close third. It’s funny how something that is a part of everyday life can vanish. Like a weekly trip to the Video Library, some things veer rapidly towards extinction until they disappear altogether. That said, in the case of Video Libraries, it’s well deserved – you can’t go around calling yourself a ‘library’ and reject the Dewey Decimal system outright. It just won’t stand.
I went to a bank. For the life of me, I can’t recall the last time I did that. As a kid, it was the place to which you were dragged on a warm afternoon against your will and forced to suffer a supreme form of boredom. People spoke quietly when they were in a bank. They were like libraries in that regard (although not video libraries –those places were bedlam). At banks, they gave people money and dullness. One you paid for, the other was com plementary. In fact, the most exciting thing about the bank was that the pens were on chains.
The chain made an interesting sound as it slid across the countertop. It was inconvenient if there wasn’t a spare patch of bench proximate to the pen you were using which meant you had to stand much closer to a fellow cus tomer than either of you felt comfort able with. There was about a fifty per cent chance of a pen actually working, meaning that you might have to suf fer the indignity of moving from pen
to pen as the security guard took note of your suspicious behaviour. Clearly intended to discourage theft, the pens would have been worth all of about two cents each.
Banks also had a substantial pot plant in the main customer area, to gether with the day’s date displayed prominently so that people could fill
their deposit and withdrawal slips ac curately. I’d watch the hand on the clock as it turned. As a kid, the bank is where time slowed to a crawl. There was no such thing as a ‘quick’ trip to the bank and even if your parents spent no more than ten minutes in there, it still felt like a lifetime. Granted, major financial institutions are designed to
do a lot of things, but they were ex perts at testing a child’s perseverance.
The other week I received a cheque. I had no idea what to do with it. It’s been so long since I saw such a thing that it had an air of novelty about it, despite being a regular rather than oversized cheque. Until it arrived, I’d believed the phrase ‘the cheque’s in the mail’ was one not to be taken lit erally, much like other fanciful state ments such as ‘a lot of people are say ing’ (they’re not) and ‘due to popular demand’ (we still have heaps left of whatever it is we’re desperate to get rid of).
I did my very best to remember what it is I used to do when coming into pos session of a cheque. Trawling through the dank and abandoned recesses of my mind, where I found several tennis balls and a jumper I used to like, one word suddenly jumped up and slapped me fair in the face – bank. I would be making a trip to the bank.
I haven’t lived here for that long, but I knew that a branch of my bank had just re-opened after extensive refur bishments. Given that I was going to a bank for what was possibly the first time this century, I decided to make an occasion of it and pretend it was still the nineteen nineties. Dressed in Blundstone boots and a lumberjack shirt, I consulted my Melways to en sure I knew how best to get there.
I grabbed my regular sized cheque and headed down to the bank. As I strode into the branch, the scene that greeted me was like something from, if not another century, then from some
time other than the nineteen nineties. There were no counters, no tellers and no pens on a chain. How they even had the nerve to call themselves a bank, I’ll never know. Instead, there was modular furniture and a series of small workstations and a tasteful pot plant. I thought I knew how banks worked. Turns out, I knew nothing at all. A polite lady approached me and asked if she could help. Struck dumb as a result of sensory overload, all I could do was point mutely at the cheque in my hands. The lady smiled and shook her head, telling me that they didn’t accept cheques at this bank and that I’d need to deposit it some other way. As I stood in the middle of the bank branch / modular furniture showroom, it occurred to me that I was standing in the wrong bank. That is, not the wrong type of branch but the wrong financial institution altogether. I began to back away while still keeping eye contact, lest the helpful lady wanted to sell me a pot plant.
As it turns out, all I had to do was scan the cheque with my phone. It almost made the Internet seem worth while. It’s funny how activities that were once pivotal are relegated to novelty status. Who knows when I’ll see a cheque again? Or how long it will be before I need to set foot inside a branch? Truth is, if I ever attend a bank again, I’ll probably travel by hoverboard. By that time, I’ll just be getting over the embarrassment at hav ing gone to the wrong bank. Maybe. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

MOUNT Eliza and Seaford United will apply to Football Victoria for a place in next season’s State 5 South.
Both clubs confirmed their intent last week after the state federation opened the application process out lining the wide-ranging criteria clubs must address in their application.
Mount Eliza is the new kid on the block as far as State League status is concerned and club president Justin Sheppard is keen to halt the annual player exodus from its senior squad currently competing under the Bay side Football Association banner.
“We keep losing players every year who want to play at a higher level,” Sheppard said.
“The majority of the current group want to try their hand at State 5 and we’ve got players coming to the club if our application is successful.
“We won’t be able to announce a coach until we find out if we are in State 5 but [selecting] the coaching staff has been done.”
Sheppard believes that State League status is key to embedding a develop ment pathway for a flourishing junior program with around 540 boys and 132 girls involved.
The club has 38 registered senior players.
Seaford United withdrew from State 4 South last February but will base its application for re-admission to State League on both its men’s and wom en’s programs.
“We’ve already been in State League so we know what’s involved,” president Willie Lynn said.
“We had an under-16s last season so we could always use those players in the reserves and it’s just a matter of approaching players for the senior team.”
Seaford has a men’s and women’s program and an established junior program.
In State 1 news Mornington has clinched the signature of NPL goal keeper Fraser Maclaren.
The former Beaumaris, Melbourne Victory, South Melbourne and Dan denong Thunder custodian recently ended a second stint with Langwarrin.
Mornington coach Adam Jamieson has chased Maclaren for some time and the 27-year-old keeper didn’t need much convincing to make the move to
Dallas Brooks Park.
“For a couple of years now ‘Jamo’ has chased me and I think with the way they’re going and the squad they’re building I thought ‘why not give it a crack?’ Maclaren said.
“Their aim is to get promoted and I know half the boys down there any way.”
When Maclaren left Langwarrin he was expected to return to his boyhood club Beaumaris which had won pro motion to NPL3 but the opportunity wasn’t there.
“Beaumaris is happy with its squad and they’ve got a goalkeeper so I said to the coach ‘while you’ve got a keep er there’s no time for discussion’.
“I said if there had been a position available then we’d sit down and talk.”
Maclaren’s departure from Langy wasn’t pleasant but he doesn’t have a lot to say about that.
“I’m disappointed over a number of things that happened and the way things ended but I’m happy to draw a line under what was a challenging year last season,” he said.
“I’m excited to join a club with great ambition and to continue a great cul
ture.”
In State 2 news Frankston Pines has signed striker Antonio Marcuccio from rival Berwick City.
The 20-year-old was at Berwick when Pines’ head coach Trevor John ston was there.
“He played at Comets last season then went back to Berwick and scored 12 goals in 12 games,” Johnston said.
“He’s a play-off-the-shoulder type, he’s super quick with a good eye for goal and he’ll be a good addition see ing as how we’ve lost Liam Baxter.”
Pines also are tracking a South American import and hope to wel come him to Monterey Reserve early next year.
The club refused to name him until confirmation of his visa approval.
Star Pines midfielder Thomas Dunn returned from his native Fiji on Friday and the 19-year-old has been quoted by FijiLive as being keen to represent his country in next year’s Under-20s World Cup finals.
Indonesia is hosting the tournament which runs from 20 May to 11 June.
“We’re not sure how many games Thomas could miss but we’re very
supportive of him playing for his country,” Johnston said.
Meanwhile Jason Symonds shunned overtures from Mornington last week re-affirming his recent appointment to the coaching panel at Peninsula Strik ers.
Mornington was keen to get Sy monds to return to Dallas Brooks Park to continue his developmental work with its reserves squad.
“I was on holiday last week so I had time to think things through and I’m staying at Strikers,” he said.
Symonds’ son Ben also has made the switch to Centenary Park.
He won the best and fairest in Morn ington’s reserves last season and his father thinks that the 19-year-old will have more chance of senior game time at Strikers.
“I love Mornington and I’ve got a very good relationship with ‘Jamo’ but I’ve also got a good relationship with ‘Scotty’ (Strikers’ joint senior coach Scott Morrison) and it’s pretty excit ing what Strikers are doing.
“It’s a great opportunity for Ben to step up and it’s also an opportunity for me to help Strikers.”
In State 4 news Somerville Eagles have signed winger Reilly Saffin and are close to agreeing with five other newcomers one of whom is former player Chris Thomas.
Thomas joined the Eagles from Sea ford United then switched to Dande nong South this year.
Saffin, 19, has played with Morning ton and Skye United and can play on either side of the pitch.
Somerville head coach Adam Steele will start pre-season training on Tues day 15 November and expects all cur rent and prospective players to attend.
“We’re focussing mainly on the resignings right now,” Steele said.
Josh Simmons, Tom Simmons, Joe Simmons, Sam Beadle, Conor Mc Fall, Connor Carson, Nick Bucello, Tom Pollock, Zach Karolidis and Joel Wade have re-committed for next sea son.
“We’ll definitely be bringing in new players and the ones we’ve been talk ing to are 80 to 90 percent over the line,” Steele added.
“We’ll be making those announce ments prior to Christmas.”

Triple J’s drive-time hosts Lewis Hobba and Michael Hing (pictured left) embark on a hunt for the best contest in Australia in this quirky special. The duo travel to a wide array of regional towns where they enter various competitions with delightfully weird locals and then present their findings to a live studio audience. Some of the impressive skills on display include woodchopping, street racing and Turkish oil wrestling.

It’s almost time to saddle up once again for “the race that stops a nation”. The trackside action kicks off with Derby Day on Saturday before the big race on Tuesday, followed by Oaks Day on Thursday and closing with Stakes Day on Saturday. In this special, racing expert Michael Felgate, jockeys Michelle Payne (pictured with Felgate) and Glen Boss, and tipster David Gately size up this year’s contenders.

The NCIS franchise has mastered its triedand-true formula and tonight’s fast-paced episode is no exception. In “Blind Curves”, the writers have thrown a bit of a curveball into the sun, sand and surf with a Fast and the Furious-style case for the team. Expect petrol fumes in the seaside air as the team delves into the world of illegal street racing. Meanwhile, Whistler (Tori Anderson) is worried about introducing Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami, pictured above with Alex Tarrant) to her colleagues.
It’s totally understandable to feel compelled to stick a finger in each ear and chant “La, la, la, la!” when someone informs you about the latest headlines from the US. The saying “only in America” – often said with an obvious roll of the eyes – is rightfully bandied about when faced with political news and developments from the States. Mercifully, this humour-laden current affairs show sticks to the important facts, with a little quirkiness to sweeten the dispatch. With a week before the midterm elections, hosts Chas Licciardello and John Barron deliver their unique take on US politics.
