Men’s shed fights back after robbery SAFETY Beach-Dromana Men’s Shed is now “back on its feet and expanding” after a robbery in July devastated its members, (Theft a blow to men’s shed, The News, 2/7/18).

“The final cost of the burglary was more than $20,000,” member John Whalley said. “But the tremendous community support that followed, together with our insurance, has got us back on our feet.”

Mr Whalley said members were planning to extend the existing shed by 24 metres. “We will fit out the additional space with equipment for exercise and fitness, wood working, and for education and training in the use of computers and other electronic devices,” he said.

“The extra facilities will also be used for safety education and for demonstrations on the correct use of tools and equipment for carpentry, wood turning, metal work, welding and other applications.”

Shire in hunt for new boss after CEO calls time Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire CEO Carl Cowie has quit the top job.

Lured from private industry in November 2014 the almost-$400,000 man issued an email to the shire’s 900-odd staff on Thursday 30 August telling them of his decision.

Although required to give three months’ notice it is expected he and the council will negotiate a payout

enabling him to leave early to take up a position as CEO of the Shire of Nillumbik.

The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said “on behalf of the council and the community, I thank Carl for his major contribution [to] the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council over the past four years”.

“The restructuring of council operations, and the implementation of new technology, will ultimately translate into major savings and enable the

council to operate in a more efficient manner for ratepayers,” he said.

“Carl, through his personal and caring involvement with staff and many organisations throughout the shire, has helped build a strong sense of community within and outside the organisation.

“The council has appreciated Carl’s professional contribution to the development of the Mornington Peninsula Shire and wishes him every success in the future.”

PRE-ARRANGED FUNERALS Caring for local families for over 35 years

The mayor said the Scottish-born Mr Cowie had achieved “specifics” set by council which had led to “savings of more than $7 million, much of which would be ongoing”.

A qualified accountant with an MBA, and member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, Mr Cowie’s resignation came soon after the shire advertised his position under a mutual arrangement giving him six months’ notice of their intention to not automatically reappoint him.

At the time, Cr Payne issued a statement saying the decision “is not a reflection on the performance of the CEO, but rather council exercising due diligence to ensure that the most appropriate person is in place to lead the organisation into the future”.

At the time Mr Cowie told The News he had “been strongly encouraged to re-apply and I have advised that I will be doing that”.

‘Back on our feet’: Men’s shed Continued from Page 1 Membership of the shed has grown by almost 50 per cent in the past 12 months. “We’re open to all residents of the area – generally retired men with time to pursue their hobbies and engage in a chat,” Mr Whalley said.

“Men’s sheds are hugely beneficial for older men by providing an opportunity for social interaction and a range of options for the constructive use of their skills.

“They also offer opportunities to learn from others who are generally more than willing to share their knowledge and skills.”

The Safety Beach-Dromana Men’s Shed was built in 2016 and largely funded by community support and fundraising activities of the growing membership.

It is managed by a committee elected each year from the membership and is open to members and guests three days a week. “We expect that the hours of operation will soon be expanded to meet growing demand,” Mr Whalley said.

He added the shed would only receive state government funding for the extension if the project won enough community votes through pickmyproject.vic.gov.au Those wanting to assist should go to “Extension of the current men’s shed building” in Dromana.

A PUSH by a government department to have a rock wall built at the base of the Portsea cliff to halt erosion would be the “final environmental nail in the coffin and permanently destroy the beach”, the mayor Cr Bryan Payne said last week.

He was speaking after hosting Victorian Greens leader Dr Samantha Ratnam and Greens Nepean candidate Paul Saunders on an inspection of what he called “the lost beach”, Tuesday 28 August, along with several Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors.

A report commissioned by the council and released at the latest council meeting has strengthened the council’s resolve to bring the Portsea beach back to its original state. It has rejected the push for a rock wall by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, saying the department’s efforts to stop erosion, which has now moved to the base of the cliff, had “failed dramatically”.

The council is demanding the state

government commit to erosion control and beach remediation. It wants the government to initiate protection works on the existing geotextile wall to allow further investigations into the coastal processes. It wants the government to undertake further investigations to enable an informed assessment of options to reduce erosion and allow beach remediation.

The council wants to consult with residents on design options for Portsea beach infrastructure. It is calling on all political parties to take a bipartisan approach to help solve the “environmental mystery” and restore the “lost” beach.

Cr Payne said the disappearance “or theft” of the once popular beach: 30 metres wide and 600 metres long, about nine years ago, was like a “mystery out of the TV show XFILES”.

“With the resources available to the myriad government agencies involved and a stack of reports, no one can explain the disappearance or accept responsibility for the destruction of this public asset of high heritage and community value,” he said.

Cr Payne hinted at contentious deci-

sions leading up to the 2009 dredging but said the council “wants to move forward to ensure this iconic beach is restored for future generations”.

He is skeptical of old reports from the Port of Melbourne, which oversaw the dredging, that found “no connection” between the dredging at The

Heads – to give larger ships access to Melbourne – and the destruction of the Portsea pubic beach.

The council is launching a search for historical photos of the beach to “provide proof of existence for government agencies on what has been lost to future generations”.

Let’s look at beach works again: mayor THE mayor Cr Bryan Payne said an earlier state government report into engineering options for the restoration of the barren Portsea beach had “exaggerated” their cost and difficulty.

“The government report was full of fallacies,” he said. “It made out that [a proposed groyne] was a huge thing but we say it can be done far cheaper.”

The mayor said constructing a groyne to the east of the beach, which the government had criticized as too costly, was

feasible and “could help restore the beach”.

“Let’s get the scientific facts; let’s get the experts to have another look at it and draw attention to the issue again,” he said.

“We need an expert panel. Our experts say it can be restored more economically.”

Cr Payne said knowledge gained from further investigations into the beach’s restoration could be put to good use rejuvenating other affected peninsula beaches, such as at Mt Martha north.

Have your say Draft Wastewater Management Plan Wastewater disposal is a significant environmental issue on the Mornington Peninsula.

The Shire has the highest number of septic systems of any Victorian council, leaving around 22,000 properties across the peninsula without reticulated sewerage.

Many of these systems were approved decades ago and are discharging bacteria and other contaminants into groundwater and waterways.

Have your say Community consultation is currently open and closes 5pm Friday 14 September.

Surveys are also available to complete in hard copy at the Shire’s offices in Rosebud, Mornington, Hastings and Somerville.

To address the environmental and public health risks posed by wastewater on the peninsula, the Shire has developed a draft Wastewater Management Plan 2018-2023 which is now available for community comment.

The Plan aims to: • prevent individual and cumulative impacts the environment • protect public health • develop strategies for the management of wastewater • provide for coordinated wastewater planning and services by council and stakeholders.

Dads share school-day breakfast fun FATHERS of pupils at Our Lady of Fatima, Rosebud, enjoyed a giant cooked breakfast as part of the school’s Fathers’ Day celebrations, Friday 31 August.

The event is held each year and is “super popular with dads and grandpas”, teacher Amanda Heggen said.

“We usually have the whole hall filled with dads and their kids eating breakfast and playing board games.”

After a breakfast of cereal, bacon and egg rolls and fruit, families played board games or outdoor games.

In support of its sustainability unit, the school this term did not conduct a Fathers’ Day stall. Instead, pupils potted plants in bio-degradable, handdecorated cups to give to their dad or special someone. Bunnings Rosebud donated the plants for the project.

Breakfast treats for dads: (Clockwise from top left). Erin, Amy and Chelsea with dad Mark Limpens. Dad Jason shares a quiet moment with sons Lincoln and Chester Rhodes. Dad Jahl Thurgood plays chess with son Alex Mirsikas. Dad Matt Duff at the counter with Patrick, Molly and Grace. Pictures: Yanni

A toast to fountain’s return MORNINGTON and District Historical Society members last week welcomed the return of the Balcombe Fountain to Mornington Park.

It is now working as a drinking fountain with a solar light in the cupola which brightens when people approach.

The fountain was originally outside the park’s entrance, when work was done on the arches by unemployed men during a job-creation scheme in the Depression of the early 1930s.

Members of the Balcombe family gave the monument to the people of Mornington in remembrance of Alexander Balcombe who had the park and much of the foreshore reserve set aside for public use.

Road widening and footpath works, coupled with the fountain being

knocked over by a car, forced its removal. It was stored in the shire’s works yard until it was erected in the Empire Mall during the 1970s when the original marble top was replaced with 1970s-style architecture.

Recent renovations at the Empire Mall meant the fountain had to find a new home and what better place than as near as possible to its original position.

Society members celebrated its return with a small ceremony at the park, Thursday 30 August.

Century of arts’ tradition continues A CENTURY old artists’ society with links to the Mornington Peninsula is holding its annual – read 100th – exhibition this month.

The Twenty Melbourne Painters Society, whose president Bill Caldwell lives in Mt Martha, is exhibiting members’ works at Glen Eira City Council Art Gallery, Caulfield, 10am-5pm, until Sunday 9 September.

Caldwell, a member for the past 15 years, said it had been a “great honour” to be invited to join the group, which has never had more than 20 members at one time since forming in 1918.

New members must be invited to join – it’s

not a matter of simply applying, he said. Those approached tend to be realist or traditional painters although, within that category, there are “all sorts of styles and approaches”.

New members also must have “gained a certain standing among their peers and be regular exhibitors”.

Members of the society meet irregularly at members’ homes. The society’s constitution describes its objective as “consolidating and improving the standards of traditional art in the community”.

Eye for detail: Artist Bill Caldwell is “honoured” to lead the 100-year-old traditional painters’ group. Picture: Yanni Familiar scene: John Rowell Way, Mornington, Oil on linen, by Bill Caldwell.

Expect early start to bushfire season RECORD low rainfall in parts of the state is forcing the Country Fire Authority to consider bringing forward the start of its bushfire season.

The CFA last week warned property owners to prepare for an “extreme summer of fires”.

For the first time, fire restrictions will be introduced in some parts of the state as early as this month.

Mornington Fire Station officer-in-charge Mick Hembrow said the shire had experienced a “drier than normal winter and autumn before that”.

He said property owners should watch the weather closely and “burn now – don’t wait too long [as] the environment might dry quickly and burning will become inappropriate”.

“We experience far too many ‘out of control’ burn offs due to people not abiding by council’s sensible burn-off guidelines,” he said.

“There is every chance we could experience an early start to our summer fire season, and fire restrictions could come earlier than normal.

“People should keep up to date with the environment and what’s happening by watching the BOM Climate Outlook web page and videos.

“We strive to provide an early warning of fire restrictions and the CFA works closely with all councils.”

Mr Hembrow said people should log their burn by calling 1800 668 511.

Mornington Peninsula environment protection manager John Rankine said due to a 50-60 per cent deficit in annual rainfall on top of last year’s deficit, and with grass and forest fuels already dry, it was possible that the fire danger period may start earlier than normal this year.

“The shire encourages the community to do what they can to clean up around their properties before fire restrictions begin, and to be fire ready earlier – especially those living in high risk areas,” he said.

“We strongly remind residents that fire restrictions are in place for a reason and to understand their responsibilities before burning off.”

ourselves. The support won’t necessarily be there as we’re used to.

“If it starts early and finishes late, it means fatigue issues for us — a long campaign, lots of expectation.”

Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning incident controller Ben Rankin said conditions state-wide were drier and more volatile than normal. “It is most unusual to have fires run to this extent in winter,” he said, referring to an out-of-control blaze burning at Cape Conran, in the state’s east.

“It is one of more than a dozen burn-offs that escaped from private properties [last] month.”

Mr Rankin said the ground was “drier now than it usually would be in summer”.

CFA chief officer Steve Warrington said the season “looks like it could be the worst in a decade” with fire restrictions continuing until April next year.

“The conditions for this time of the year are really quite concerning for us, and that’s unfortunately already being realised,” he said.

“At the moment if we go on the current forecasts, and to some extent it is crystal balling, but the dams are down, the water content in the ground is quite low.

“Large parts of the state have been in a few years of drought now.”

With fire authorities expecting a severe or extreme fire season across much of the country this summer, Victoria could be unable to call on firefighters from interstate to help in a crisis.

“Our ability to support each other is diminished,” Mr Warrington warned.

“This year we’re planning as if Victorians are predominately going to have to look after

GROUNDS staff at The National Golf Club at Cape Schanck last week got a fright when they dug up a live naval round.

The landscapers were working on the second hole at the Cups Drive course when they unearthed the 43cm-long “unexploded ordnance”, 3.30pm, Tuesday 28 August. It may have lain undisturbed for decades near the surface, about one kilometre from Truemans Road.

They quickly moved clear and reported their dangerous find to police who called in the RAAF. Military officers cordoned off the area which was guarded overnight by police. Next day they detonated the shell in a deep hole.

Sergeant Ben Swift, of Hastings police, who supervised the operation, said the shell may have been left over from historic training drills conducted by officers from the Army cadet school at Point Nepean.

With a VIEW to forming a new club

FORMATION of a Southern Peninsula VIEW Club is on track after 28 women met with the Victorian VIEW development team last month to get things moving.

Convenor Edna Burwash said many at the pleasant morning at Rosebud Country Club stayed on to lunch and “make friends and discuss the way forward”.

VIEW is a women’s national volunteer organisation aiming to provide an opportunity for women from all walks of life to meet regularly, establish friendships and help disadvantaged children through the work of The Smith Family.

New members are welcome.

The next meeting is at Rosebud Country Club, 207 Boneo Road, Rosebud, 11am, Thursday 13 September.

Rangers experience sharing, caring and love of country A HEART-WARMING documentary film about a group of indigenous Australian rangers who travel to Kenya to share knowledge, culture and music with a tribe of Maasai Community Rangers will premiere on the Mornington Peninsula next week.

Ranger to Ranger is being shown at the Merricks General Wine Store, Friday 14 September, in support of the International Ranger Federation.

The federation’s charity arm, Thin Green Line, needs funds to ensure that those tasked with defending the world’s wildlife and wild places – the Rangers – are given the support they need. In the case of a ranger losing his or her life in the line of duty, it provides emergency financial support for their families.

“The nine rangers are Martu, Kimberley and Jawoyn rangers from Western Australia and the Northern Territory,” the Thin Green Line Foundation’s Dan Box said. “They came together in Perth, never having met before, and joined Dan Sultan, a Gurindji and Eastern Arente man from the Northern Territory, to embark on this unlikely journey to Africa.

“They find that, in some ways, they are incredibly different, yet in many ways have a lot in common – especially a deep connection to land and country.

“The foundation of this journey is exchange. It’s about sharing experiences and information. It’s about exploring and learning from the differences. And it’s about celebrating those things that are the same.”

Doors and pre-film entertainment start at 6:30pm; film: 8:10pm; question-and-answer session: 9:15pm and post-film entertainment: 9:15-10pm.

The Q&A session is conducted by head Maasai Ranger Joseph Kotoke and Thin Green Line Foundation’s Sean Willmore.

Naming of Flinders Yacht Club access road THE proposed naming of the Flinders Yacht Club access road to Lacey View is up for public comment.

Mornington Peninsula Shire is inviting the community’s thoughts on the naming of the roadway which connects Bass Street, east of the Esplanade, with the main car park in the Flinders foreshore reserve and continues along the unconstructed track to the Flinders Yacht Club.

The suggested name honours Ken Lacey, a prominent member of the Flinders community who passed away last year. The proposal came from Flinders Yacht Club and is supported by Bass Park Trust and the Lacey family. The suffix “View” is a roadway commanding a panoramic view across surrounding areas.

“The proposed naming would be a fitting commemoration of Mr Lacey and the outstanding community work he undertook during his lifetime,” the mayor Cr Bryan Payne said.

Red Hill Ward Cr David Gill said Mr Lacey was involved in many community groups and organisations, specifically in Flinders, for more than 30 years.

Submissions on the proposal can be made until 4 September. They can be made online at mornpen.vic.gov.au/ haveyoursay or via email: namingsubmissions@mornpen.vic.gov. au or via post: Attention: Governance Private Bag 1000, Rosebud, 3939.

Forms are also available in hard copy at the shire’s offices in Rosebud, Mornington, Hastings and Somerville.

The name complies with the Office of Geographic Names rules for places in Victoria – Statutory requirements for naming roads, features and localities 2016.

Shire CEO calls time Continued from Page 1 A consultant was charged with selecting a recruitment firm to identify suitable candidates.

Mr Cowie also received endorsement from the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ Association, which attributed his “private industry background and cost driven approach” to saving millions of dollars for the shire.

Association secretary Dr Alan Nelsen said Mr Cowie’s leadership had resulted in “significant improvement in the shire’s transparency and openness”.

He said Mr Cowie had “strongly supported the council and community” by opposing three-storey residential developments on the peninsula; helping to save Tootgarook Swamp by introducing a management plan and purchasing a sensitive area of land within the wetlands; finalising the Rosebud aquatic centre in a sensible location, and finalising the green wedge plan”.

But there were contentious issues, including negotiating an enterprise agreement that saw a dramatic cut in sick leave for staff “which didn’t

make him very popular with staff,” according to the mayor, and approving a $3 million tender for legal firms that could be hired by the shire despite being asked to bring the matter to council for approval under delegation (“Probe into $3m legal tender” The News 5/6/18).

A standout issue was Mr Cowie’s reluctance to list on the shire’s gifts register a Mediterranean cruise he and his wife took as guests of prominent

businessman and shire ratepayer Lindsay Fox (“CEO’s trip top draw on gifts list” The News 1/5/18).

Mr Cowie also failed to persuade councillors to accept a media policy that would have strictly curtailed their ability to make public statements and hold “off the record” conversations, and was criticised for his plan to open a shire office in the Melbourne CBD. The office has since been approved.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council has adopted the Dromana Township Plan and Residential Investigation Area Report.

This follows a review of the township and surrounding residential areas that was presented to the 20 August planning meeting.

The review identified built form objectives and controls to aid in the protection of Dromana’s “coastal” character.

Major provisions of the plan are to reinforce the prevailing coastal township streetscapes, maintain the suburb’s low scale built form character, and protect key views from the foreshore and across the town centre towards Arthurs Seat.

Other provisions are the strengthening of Pier Street as the “heart” of the township; to create a secondary laneway network, and transition built form to abutting residential zoned land.

Two separate drop-in sessions were held at the Dromana Bay Life Saving Club in May as part of the plan’s public exhibition process. They were attended by 43 people.

Council officers stated in their report that “left to continue developing without design provisions, inappropriate development could be established that would detract and gradually degrade the sought-after character of the township”.

The review aimed to establish a vision for the Dromana town centre and surrounding residential land in the absence of a Design and Development Overlay. This aims to influence planning controls to enforce an “appropriate balance between the township’s growth while protecting its valued character”.

Presently, the town and surrounding residential area has no detailed design provisions over character and

scale. This means there are no building heights applicable over the commercial centre even while residential areas have three storey (11 metre) mandatory maximum heights under the General Residential Zone.

There is also an absence of controls over the area’s character, such as setbacks, vegetation planting and removal, materials and colours. The effect of this is to leave the way open for planning permit applications for developments of a scale and character “significantly inconsistent” with the character of Dromana, the officers said.

The overall aim of the plan is to ensure controls can be put in place to restrict developments which are appropriate to the township. Other key recommendations are for a “fine grain coastal character” along Point Nepean Road, including a maximum two storey (eight metre) street wall profile. A third storey would only be permitted if set back a minimum of five metres from the street wall.

The plan seeks “moderate change” to both sides of Pier Street to reinforce emerging character, including a maximum three storey (11 metre) street wall and similar change to land behind the Point Nepean Road frontage to encourage redevelopment. This would include a maximum two storey (eight metres) high street wall. A third storey would only be permissible if setback a minimum of five metres from the street wall.

The residential component of the plan separates the study area into six precincts categorised by their development pattern, housing type and location.

The key recommendation here is for a preferred maximum building height of two storeys (nine metres) across all precincts.

Wallaby’s death highlights dogs’ impact UNRESTRAINED dogs are having a devastating effect on native animals in the Mornington Peninsula National Park – and traumatising those who find their remains.

Regular walker Chris Willocks came across a dead swamp wallaby on the coastal track near St Paul’s Lookout, Sorrento, 8am, Monday 13 August.

“All evidence indicated it had been killed by a large dog,” Mr Willocks said.

“The body was mostly undamaged other than an obvious bite wound around the neck.

“The wallaby was still warm when I found it so it was probably killed between daybreak and 8am. There were lots of fresh, large dog prints around the wallaby as well as human

shoe prints.

“I tracked the wallaby, dog and human prints. The wallaby was probably chased by the dog and human for several hundred metres before it was killed.

“I was devastated by the death as this wallaby has been in the area for many years and I knew its tracks and hideouts and I had fairly regular sightings.”

Parks Victoria district manager Libby Jude agreed dogs were a “threat to wildlife and are not permitted in Mornington Peninsula National Park”. “[The park] provides a vital refuge and habitat for more than 32 fauna species of significance, including the hooded plover, white-footed dunnart and long-nosed bandicoot,” she said.

“Mammal species are particularly susceptible to dog attacks and even the scent of dogs or barking can cause distress to some species.”

Mr Willocks said he saw dogs and their prints “every day that I walk on tracks and beaches in the national park”.

This has led to confrontations with dog owners: “I have been verbally abused and threatened by them despite my polite contact,” Mr Willocks said.

“There has been a total ban on dogs in the national park for nearly two years, however, many dog owners totally ignore the regulations.

“Owners seem oblivious to the impact their dogs are having on the behaviour and survival of mammals, birds and reptiles.

“Unfortunately, sightings of wildlife are declining and a stronger stand against dogs in the national park is essential if we are to retain our precious wildlife on the Mornington Peninsula.”

Ms Jude said it was important for the safety of the dogs to keep them out of national parks. “Extensive fox and cat control programs are conducted … to provide threatened species with their best chance of survival,” she said.

Alternative dog walking areas outside the national park include some bay beaches and leash-free reserves managed by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

Park rangers regularly patrol the park issuing $322 fines to those bringing dogs in illegally.

A matter of survival: This wallaby was killed by a dog in the Mornington Peninsula National Park.

Hooded plover workshop BIRDLIFE Australia and the Friends of the Hooded Plover Mornington Peninsula will hold a workshop next week on this threatened beachnesting bird.

Participants can hear about threats faced by the birds, efforts to improve their breeding success, and how they can get involved. They can learn how to interpret their quirky behaviours by hearing from the experts and watching video footage of breeding and chick behaviour.

Organisers say improving the conservation outlook for beach-nesting shorebirds is “incredibly challenging given they nest in habitats popular for human recreation”.

The workshop will be at Sorrento Community Centre, 860 Melbourne Road, Sorrento, 6-8.30pm, Wednesday 12 September. RSVP by Sunday 9 September.

It’s all about the pattern “The thing that lies between an ill fitting garment and a great fitting garment is the pattern” says fashion industry expert, Karen Jeffress.

“No amount of gorgeous fabric will disguise a bad pattern”.

With over 25 years in the fashion industry and 9 years teaching couture, construction and patternmaking at leading Melbourne fashion colleges, Karen made the sea change to the Mornington Peninsula in March.

“I was planning to go back to my artisan roots and make formal occasion wear for private clients, then ladies started asking me to help them with their sewing machines and sewing projects.

“An all-too-common complaint from them

was that whilst they were fairly competent sewers, they didn’t know how to make a pattern to fit themselves or their families, struggling to find commercial patterns which were suitable.

“I started Artisans of Fashion to offer short workshop courses to local home seamstresses wishing to unleash their inner fashion designer.

What I love about teaching is seeing that light bulb moment when a student ‘gets it’ and they realize that the sky’s the limit.”

The first workshops in garment patternmaking will commence mid September in Dromana.

Celebration and sadness mark bravery award Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au FIVE years after her husband was murdered in front of her in a drug-fuelled attack, Bridget O’Toole has been awarded The Royal Humane Society of Australasia’s 2017 Clarke Gold Medal.

The Clarke Medal is the society’s highest award for the most outstanding case of bravery considered during the year.

The Clarke Gold Medal was presented by The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Councillor Sally Capp at Melbourne Town Hall on 23 August.

Mrs O’Toole was attacked by Gavin Perry, 27, after the parolee entered their High Street Hastings jewellery store in July 2013. Brandishing a 20cm carving knife, the assailant threw Mrs O’Toole into a glass cabinet.

Her husband, 64-year-old Dermot O’Toole, rushed into the store to defend her, and struggled with Perry. Mr O’Toole was fatally stabbed during the ordeal.

In 2017, an “emotional and proud” Bridget O’Toole accepted the Star of Courage medal on behalf of her murdered husband.

In the years that followed Mrs O’Toole battled for justice for her slain husband.

Gavin Perry pleaded guilty to Statutory Murder and was handed a 27-year sentence. The terms of the sentence required Perry to serve a minimum of 23 years before being eligible for parole.

The family, left shocked by the lenincy of the sentence, appealled.

In 2016, the family were again left devastated when three justices of the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal against the leniency of the jail sentence.

Also dismissed was Perry’s application for leave to appeal the severity of his 27-year sentence.

The five years since her husband’s murder

have taken a heavy toll on Mrs. O’Toole.

“We’ve been through hell since that day and nothing will ever make up for it,” said Mrs O’Toole.

“But today was a lovely day, and I am proud to accept this award.”

It was also a chance for her family and friends to get together and share memories of their absent husband, father, grandfather and friend.

“It is difficult to find closure,” said Mrs O’Toole.

Life goes on but the memories of the love she feels for her slain husband will go on forever.

CITATION - To receive the 2017 Clarke Gold Medal: BRIDGET O’TOOLE in going to the rescue of her husband from being attacked by an assailant at Hastings, Vic on 12 July 2013.

At 5.00pm a disguised man entered Mr & Mrs O’Toole’s jewellery store with a large carving knife.

As Mrs O’Toole came out to the counter in the belief that a customer had entered, she was attacked by the armed assailant who pushed her into a glass cabinet and stabbed her several times.

During the attack Mr O’Toole, who suffered from Parkinson’s Disease, came out from the workshop to defend his wife and began wrestling with the assailant. Mr O’Toole was knocked to the ground and stabbed twice in the chest. Mrs O’Toole attempted to pull the offender away from her husband and in doing so she was further assaulted. The assailant then ran out of the shop.

Mr O’Toole was fatally wounded and tragically died at the scene. Mrs O’Toole suffered numerous severe wounds.

Aged care flu outbreak prompts warning

Hello there: Co-founders of Peninsula Singles Abby Barling, Hayley Barnsley and Marnie Turner have started their own dating site.

Picture: Ebony Elise

Peninsula singles on look-out for someone new THE fickle and unrewarding nature of the Mornington Peninsula singles scene has inspired three local women to form their own dating site.

“We were tired of swiping left, right or otherwise and being sent unsolicited nude pics!”

Peninsula Singles co-founder Abby Barling said.

“We went looking for something different but couldn’t find anything here on the peninsula, so we’ve created it ourselves!”

The single mums are kicking off the season with a Spring Fling singles mixer, Wednesday 19 September, at Gods Kitchen in Mornington.

They say taking a stand against the dubious goings-on of online dating had been rewarding

with interest via their Instagram and Facebook pages “overwhelming”.

“Men and women have contacted us right across the peninsula, excited about what we’re offering,” Ms Barling said. “They’re sick and tired of the two-timing, online dating mentality.

“We don’t have to look back too far to remember a time when, if you found your boyfriend or girlfriend ‘two-timing’ you that would be it!

There’s the door, mate! “[But] that’s just not how it is these days and it can be soul destroying!”

She said Peninsula Singles catered for anyone over 30 who was interested in meeting people.

“You may meet the love of your life or find a great new social network,” she said.

“There’ll be a glass of bubbly or beer on arrival with canapes throughout the night.

“Bring your mates or fly solo, it’s up to you.

The Peninsula Singles team will help you out with conversation starters and, at the end of the day, everyone’s there for the same reason.

“It’s the perfect way to meet someone local without interrupting you weekend plans.”

Doors for the singles mixer open 6.30pm.

AN outbreak of influenza-A at a Mornington aged care home has prompted the Department of Health and Human Services to warn of the importance of limiting the spread of the disease.

Department spokesman Graeme Walker said 20 residents and two staff at Park Hill Gardens Aged Care Facility in Tyabb Road had been affected.

The facility has 68 residents and 90 staff.

He said one resident had died “with the flu – not of the flu” in the recent outbreak but that “the department is unable to provide details as to the cause of death”.

The highly contagious viral infection can cause severe illness and life-threatening complications, including pneumonia. The flu is spread by contact with fluids from coughs and sneezes.

It is estimated that flu contributes to over 3000 deaths in Australia each year.

Mr Walker said the department … “worked with the facility to manage the outbreak and ensure infection control measures were implemented. This included a thorough cleaning of the premises.”

He said the illness had “run its course” over the 10 days since it was reported on 13 August.

“Once Park Hill became aware of the situation they did their best to manage it. Influenza is very common in the community, especially at this time of the year, and there’s no suggestion they did anything wrong.”

Mr Walker urged friends and relatives to stay away from aged care and nursing homes if they were ill. He said good hand hygiene would assist in controlling the spread of cases. “Hand hygiene gel is widely available for visitors in hospitals and aged care facilities, and should be used even if you are well,” he said.

“Remember good cough etiquette at all times.

Cough into a tissue and dispose of it immediately, or cough into your sleeve.

“We are in the peak flu season now. It tends to be later in the year and it is still not too late to be vaccinated.”

Park Hill was contacted for comment.

Police patrol Officers’ quick action gives man new lease on life A BITTERN man suffering an apparent cardiac arrest in the street can thank three Hastings police officers for possibly saving his life, Monday 27 August.

The officers on patrol in FrankstonFlinders Road, Hastings, were flagged down by a bystander who saw the 64-year-old “on the ground and gasping” in Haddock Street about 12noon, Sergeant Scott West, of Hastings Police, said.

Senior Constables Stuart Holloway and Teresa Comerford and Constable Cassundra Harris wasted no time in putting their first aid skills to good use and performing CPR on the man who drifted “in and out of consciousness”.

They continued to resuscitate the

man for 10 minutes while explaining his condition to paramedics who were rushing to the scene.

The man had “recovered slightly” by the time the ambulance arrived to take him to Frankston Hospital.

“The members showed great courage in the face of a stressful situation and, without their intervention, the outcome could potentially have been much worse,” Sergeant West said.

Raiders steal perfumes RAMRAIDERS reversed a car through glass double doors before robbing the Chemist Discount Centre at Peninsula Homemaker Centre last week.

Police said the force of the collision “significantly damaged” metal roofing and sheered steel bolts allowing the raiders entry to the Nepean Highway

store, 2am, Sunday 26 August. Tyre marks were visible on the roadway.

Store manager Louise Smedile said the thieves stole a quantity of perfumes. The extent of the damage was unknown, Wednesday. Police are examining CCTV footage of the incident. The store opened as usual on the Monday.

Guards savaged in brawl TWO security staff were badly injured in a brawl at The Sands Hotel, Carrum Downs, Saturday 25 August.

Detective Senior Constable Darren Paxton, of Frankston police, said three men and one woman were being ejected at about 1.40am when one of the men punched a guard, knocking him out. He was then stomped to the head and kicked and punched to his body.

When the second guard stepped in he was set upon by the other men.

The woman ran out into the car park and returned in a small dark-coloured sedan and drove the men away.

The first guard was taken to Frankston Hospital suffering a broken jaw, cuts and swelling. The second guard was being treated for a fractured nose and general swelling.

Police are viewing CCTV of the incident. The heavily tattooed men are described as Caucasian, aged 19-25.

One has the words No Comment tattooed on the side of his head and a faded skull on his cheek.

Detective Paxton is urging anyone knowing the men, or who saw the incident, to call him at Frankton police 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Cars set alight POLICE are investigating four incidents in which cars have been set alight in the Frankston area.

A Holden Commodore was pushed down a driveway and into Bush Court, Langwarrin, property and an accelerant used to set it alight, 1.56am, Wednesday 29 August. Carrum Downs police are investigating.

A Toyota Landcruiser was destroyed by fire in Narambi Road, Mornington, overnight, Monday 27 August. Somerville CIU is investigating.

A silver Ford with false plates was set alight on Jubilee Park oval, 11.10pm, Sunday 26 August, and a Holden utility was set alight at Ballam Park athletics track, 4am, the same day. It had been stolen from Greenshanks Court, Carrum Downs, house Saturday 25 August.

Our region is home to many world class specialists of both medical and cosmetic professions. Unlike many people around the world we are fortunate to not have to travel overseas if we need a specialist, we have an extensive range of professionals at our finger tips.

A range of the region’s finest medical and healthcare providers are featured in this special. Each specialist is a professional in their line of work and is perfect for the job. They are always willing to give their advice on what to do and how to do it.

Relief for emphysema sufferers Professor David Langton, Director of Thoracic Medicine at Peninsula Health A further treatment option aimed at improving the breathing and quality of life of some advanced emphysema sufferers is now available at Frankston Hospital.

Zephyr Endobronchial Valve Therapy is currently being carried out in hospitals across the country and shows promise in relieving the symptoms of late-stage emphysema.

The most common cause of emphysema is tobacco smoking but additionally air pollution and genetics can play a role. In a small group of patients, a genetic disorder known as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency can result in emphysema.

Severe emphysema patients suffer irreversible damage to lung tissue resulting in trapped air within the lungs. This destruction unfortunately leads to shortness of breath, decrease in daily activities and a reduced quality of life.

Currently, these symptoms are managed using bronchodilating inhalers and/or steroid medications, pulmonary rehabilitation and oxygen therapy. Zephyr Endobronchial Valve therapy offers an additional treatment solution aimed at relieving symptoms by physically improving the mechanics of the lungs.

The Zephyr Valve procedure is a short, minimally-invasive procedure whereby tiny valves are inserted through the nose and mouth to block airflow to diseased parts of the lung and improve the flow of air to healthy parts.

The diseased region of the lung shrinks in size and healthier regions expand and function more efficiently, meaning improved breathing and the ability to do more things throughout the day.

Zephyr Valve Therapy is currently carried out by physicians across the world and is available across Australia at a variety of hospitals in all main states.

Assessment for suitability for this new procedure is now available to both public and private patients on the Mornington Peninsula at the Thoracic Department, Frankston Hospital.

Currently there are calls for greater transparency on added sugar in packaged foods which dentists like Dr Albery support wholeheartedly.

Internationally Renowned Eye Surgeon at Home on the Mornington Peninsula THERE are many things to love about life on the Mornington Peninsula – the beach, the wineries, the wonderful sense of community. But some may not know, we are also home to worldclass medical facilities such as the Peninsula Eye Centre.

Located in Mornington, the Peninsula Eye Centre has been treating ophthalmic patients for over 30 years and was established by one of Australia’s most accomplished and experienced eye surgeons, Dr Rick Wolfe.

‘As a Peninsula local, it has been incredible to watch this beautiful part of the world flourish and grow over the past 30 years,’ says Dr Wolfe.

‘Importantly, the Peninsula has also grown to offer essential health facilities to service the larger population.’

Dr Wolfe is joined by five associate ophthalmologists at Peninsula Eye Centre, together with a team of highly trained orthoptists.

The centre provides comprehensive ophthalmic services using the latest technological advancements.

One of the most common procedures offered at Peninsula Eye Centre is cataract surgery which is performed next door at Beleura Private Hospital. A

globally recognised leader in cataract surgery, Dr Wolfe has performed over 15,000 cataract surgeries and has played a leading role in introducing and refining techniques in cataract surgery in Australia. Dr Wolfe was the first surgeon in Australia to commence phacoemulsification (the modern technique of cataract surgery) when it was almost unknown in Australia. He has taught many ophthalmologists this procedure in Australia and overseas and is today the procedure of choice.

Dr Wolfe was also the first to perform corneal incisions and foldable intraocular implants in Australia. Today this is the most common method amongst advanced cataract surgeons. He has lectured widely on this technique.

Additionally, he pioneered a technique called micro-incision cataract surgery, which is today the standard of care.

‘For over 50s, the likelihood of developing cataracts increases’ says Dr Wolfe.‘And whilst it can sound frightening, the good news is modern cataract surgery is very safe and effective and offers patients excellent visual outcomes,

which in turn increase their quality of life.

‘I was recently proud to have been chosen to be the first surgeon in Australia and New Zealand to use the new Alcon Clareon® Intraocular Lens (IOL) with the AutonoMe ™ Delivery System – a very fancy sounding tool which, in layman’s terms, is an exciting refinement in cataract surgery or lens exchange surgery and helps patients achieve their best possible vision.

For Peninsula Eye Centre, being at the forefront of technological advancements in eye treatment is important.

‘Over the years, I seen some incredible advances in the sorts of technology and tools available to ophthalmologists. I am proud that we can offer patients here in the Peninsula internationally recognised treatments that are often not even available in larger cities around the world.’

Peninsula Eye Centre is currently participating in two worldwide clinical trials for suitable cataract patients using exciting new Intraocular Lenses (IOLs). Patients are currently being recruited.

Whilst Peninsula Eye Centre is

issues, discuss these with your doctor or optometrist. You will require a referral to see one of Peninsula Eye Centre’s specialists.

General ophthalmic examinations Advanced micro-incision cataract surgery Glaucoma diagnosis and management Diabetes eye assessment and treatment Macular degeneration treatment Full retinal services including: angiography, OCT, laser and surgery Oculoplastic and lacrimal surgery Treatment of ptsosis Post-operative appointments for laser eye surgery Macular haemorrhage management

At Peninsula Eye Centre your health and wellbeing are our primary concern. Dr Rick Wolfe and his associate ophthalmologists strive to provide you with the best ophthalmic care in Victoria.

Three things you can do for yourself during Women’s Health Week

WHEN women have family, friends and colleagues depending on them, it can be difficult to find time for yourself.

To help, Dr Michelle Woolhouse, Whole Medicine integrative GP, urges Mornington Peninsula women to put themselves first during Women’s Health Week from 3 – 7 September.

“This is the perfect time to follow up on any overdue health checks such as cervical cancer screenings, skin checks, your breast health, diabetes tests, emotional support, bowel cancer screenings, bone mass density scans or blood pressure checks,” she says.

“Remember, in order to look after others, sometimes we just have to put our own health priorities first!”

Here are three more ways to focus on your wellbeing this week 1.

SHELVE IT Try to stamp out at least one unhealthy habit

such as smoking, sugar, skipping breakfast, being overly sedentary, drinking too much alcohol, excessive worry or not getting enough sleep.

2.

MOVE IT Finding time to exercise can be difficult when family, work and other commitments are mounting up, but it’s key to long-term health and prevention of disease. You can always break down the recommended 30 minutes of daily exercise into three 10 minute bursts of moderate activity.

3.

FEEL IT Taking some time out to look after your emotional wellbeing is vital for your overall health. Give yourself permission to do something just for you – read a book, practice yoga or learn to meditate, go for a beach walk, meet up with friends – whatever makes you feel good.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Calls to ‘dig deep’ for the Seventh War Loan Compiled by Brodie Cowburn DAY by day the good news of fresh Allied victories continues to come through; each day there are fresh stories of the wonderful deeds of the Australians, and each day sees the line that indicates the horrible leash that the Hun threw across Europe being taken further and further back towards the Rhine.

It is good news, it is cheering news; but not for one instant must it be taken to indicate that Australia is now at liberty to slacken in her war efforts.

Rather it means that still greater efforts must be made; it is the supreme time when there must be every assurance that all that is necessary to force the fight to a determined finish shall be forthcoming.

While men are essential to the gaining of such an issue, money is equally essential, for without it armies cannot be maintained in the field, clothing and equipment cannot be supplied and ammunition found.

For the greater part of the war the Imperial Government has been bearing Australia’s share of the financial burden and until the last war loan was floated Australia was not self-supporting in this respect.

In order that the Commonwealth may continue to be self-supporting the people of Australia are being asked to find the money for another loan of £40,000,000 – money that is to be used solely in the prosecution of the war.

It is not an appeal to one section of the community alone, it is an appeal to every man, and woman in the Commonwealth, and it is equally the duty as well as the privilege of every man and woman to respond to that appeal.

In order that the appeal may reach everyone – may, in fact, be taken into the very homes of the people, the system of allocating quotas of the money required to the various districts, and forming committees in every district to organise and control the work locally was adopted.

Thus, it will only be as the result of the direct efforts of these local committees that a success will be made of this the Seventh War Loan.

Unfortunately, in many parts of Victoria there has not yet been an attempt made to form the necessary committees.

Municipal elections have interfered with the work in most of the centres but now that those elections are past it is essential that a prompt effort be made to get this appeal to the people of the State into proper working order.

It will require hard and thorough work upon the part of those who constitute the local committees, but it is unthinkable that there will be one committee in the State that will be content unless the name of its district figures among those who have succeeded in gaining an honour flag by raising the set sum of money placed against its name.

And, it is equally unthinkable that there will be any local committee that will be satisfied before every house and every shop in the community is decorated with the house flag that will indicate that the householders and shopkeepers have done their individual part.

During its last war loan campaign America succeeded in gaining subscriptions from one out of every six persons comprising the population.

Canada accomplished practically the

same good work.

Australia, however, even in its most unsuccessful war loan campaign, the sixth, succeeded only in gaining subscriptions from one out of every thirty five persons of the population.

America accomplished her wonderful performance by adopting system of committees much as is being done in Australia in connection with the present war loan campaign.

If America can accomplish such things Australia surely can do the same. And, if Australia as a whole can succeed, Victoria ought to be able to outdistance every one of the other States in the making of this success.

There are more than 1,405,000 people in the State of Victoria and it ought easily be possible to succeed in getting at least 250.000 subscribers out of that number.

It may look a gigantic task on paper, but when reduced to the detail of every local committee seeing that every house and every shop bears a war loan house badge it is obviously easy.

All that is needed for success is that local committees shall “GET BUSY.” *** FLINDERS shire council has been authorised to raise the sum of £3,600 for the installation of an electric lighting plant at Sorrento. *** ON Monday next, Sep 9th, Messrs Brody and Mason will conduct their monthly market at Somerville, when cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, poultry, etc will be offered. *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Athletic Sports Club is called for Friday evening next, and it is hoped that there will be a good attendance

In 2008, their show More fun than a Wii went on to be the first kids show ever to be nominated for the prestigious Melbourne International Comedy Festival best show award (the Barry Award). Since then they’ve toured from the Sydney Opera House

to South Korea, from Edinburgh to Malaysia, and all over Straya. The Listies book Ickypedia was published in 2015 with its sequel Ickyfoodia released in 2017.

Redlegs slay the Stonecats DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn FRANKSTON YCW have shocked football fans across the peninsula by bowing out of finals in just the second week. The Stonecats were put to the sword by Mt Eliza in a stunning come from behind victory.

The Stonecats suffered a blow pregame with Paul Minchington ruled out due to a calf injury. Minchington booted five goals last week to help his team to a win.

Despite their injury concerns, Frankston YCW got off to a blinding start, dominating the Redlegs throughout the first half. The Stonecats were absolutely in control at the half time break, with Mt Eliza’s skills by foot letting them down on multiple occasions.

Despite having their backs to the wall, the Redlegs looked like a transformed team in the second half, playing a much more physically dominant style of play.

The biggest change for Mt Eliza in the second half came through Jordan Moncrieff, who set the game alight.

After a relatively quiet one goal first half, Moncrieff piled on six majors in the second half to drag his side back into the contest.

Against all odds, the Redlegs snatched the lead with seconds to play in the third term, and held onto their lead throughout the last quarter to run

out unlikely 11.9 (75) to 8.11 (59) winners.

The loss ends a difficult year for the Stonecats, who were ravaged by injury and went eight matches without a win throughout the middle of the year.

Frankston YCW have won seven of the last eight Grand Finals they have contested, but will now not have the chance to contest another one after stumbling before the finish line.

While there was disappointment for the Stonecats, there was elation for Mt Eliza. After a disappointing loss to Pines last week, the Redlegs reminded everyone of their class to book a spot in the preliminary final on Sunday at Frankston Park.

Mt Eliza will take on Sorrento in the Preliminary Final, after Pines beat them in a hard fought contest at Alexandra Park.

Pines have been the inform side in the competition, and had beaten Sorrento by three points in their previous outing.

Both sides traded blows in a tight and competitive first half, before Pines started to pull away.

Only eight points separated the sides going into the last quarter, but the Pythonds held on to claim the 11.16 (82) to 14.11 (95) win and claim their spot in the Grand Final, their first since 2002.

Perry Lewis-Smith, Aaron Edwards, Daniel Johns, and Luke Potts were Pines’ best in the victory.

Tigers tame Kangaroos DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn DROMANA have bounced back from their shock defeat last week in stunning fashion, hammering Langwarrin to book their spot in the Grand Final.

The Kangaroos were put on the backfoot early by a fast starting Dromana. Langwarrin could not register a score in the first quarter, and could only manage one goal in the second. In that time, Dromana piled on ten goals to take a 58 point lead into the half time break.

The Kangaroos needed everything to go their way, but Dromana were proving far too good, piling on another seven goals to zero in the third term.

Sitting over 100 points up with a quarter still to play, the Tigers could afford to kick their feet up and make sure their bodies were ready to go for next weeks Grand Final matchup.

The final siren could not come soon enough for the Kangaroos, as they eventually succumbed to a 22.12 (144) to 4.6 (30) win.

Dromana were helped to their win by an even spread of goalkickers, with Sam Fowler and Ben Holmes the most prolific among them with three goals each.

The win sees the Tigers advance to the Grand Final, where they will meet Red Hill in a rematch from last week.

Dromana have lost just two matches all season, both against Red Hill.

The Grand Final will be played 2pm Saturday at Frankston Park.

The win capped off a big week of events in Division Two, with Hastings also causing a stir by signing former Coleman medallist Brendan Fevola for the 2019 season.

Hastings heartbroken by shock premiership loss SEWF

Up, up, and away: Dromana dominated Langwarrin to fly into the Division Two Grand Final. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By Brodie Cowburn HASTINGS’ run in Division Three of the South Eastern Womens Football League has come to a heartbreaking end, as their undefeated streak was broken by Pearcedale in the Grand Final at Holm Park Reserve.

Hastings have been the powerhouse side in the competition, with a draw being the only blemish on their record throughout the year.

Faced with a Grand Final matchup against fourth placed Pearcedale, the Blues went in as overwhelming favourites to secure the premiership.

Things got off to a decent start, as Hastings led at each of the breaks in play throughout the match.

Going into the final term, Pearcedale’s inaccuracy in front of goal had been costing them. They had kicked one goal and nine behinds going into the last quarter.

In the final turn the momentum swung in Pearcedale’s favour, as they kicked two unanswered goals to snatch the win and snatch an unlikely premiership. The final score read 3.1 (19) to 3.9 (27).

The Grand Final defeat was Hastings’ first in 15 games this season, and was a disappointing way to cap off a successful season for the Blues.

In SEWF Division One, Seaford fell agonisingly short of pulling off a win in their Grand Final clash against Eastern Devils.

Seaford and Eastern Devils both only lost one match for the season, and looked evenly matched on paper. The Devils finished with a

much higher percentage and would have been considered by many as he favourites.

The Devils looked a little shaky throughout the first half. They could only manage four behinds before the main break, but Seaford could not make them pay and remained scoreless.

The Devils finally put a couple of goals in the board in the third term to take the lead, but Seaford chipped it back in the final quarter.

Seaford fought hard but ended up just falling short in a 2.5 (17) to 2.2 (14) loss.

Division Two also saw a frustrating Grand Final result for a peninsula side, as Tyabb were soundly beaten

by Bass Coast.

Bass Coast have been untouchable throughout the entire year, and quickly but the game to rest with a three goal to zero first half.

That lead stretched in the third term, but Tyabb were not doing themselves any favours. They had kicked eight straight behind going into the final quarter, The Yabbies restored some respectability in the final quarter with a couple of goals, but fell well short of Bass Coast in a 5.4 934) to 2.8 (20) loss.

Kate Thompson and Alicia Coventry were the two names on the scoresheet for the Yabbies.

Despite going down, the Yabbies will take encouragement from the fact that they took bass Coast all the way and gave them some headaches, given Bass Coast finished the year with no losses and a percentage of over 1000.

Langy honours Macleod, Strikers safe SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie WHILE Langwarrin was unveiling The Gus Macleod Stand at Lawton Park on Saturday Peninsula Strikers were securing their State 2 South-East status.

Macleod has held the reins at Langy for 20 years and in his final home match watched his side come from behind to snatch a 1-1 draw against already relegated Nunawading City.

Big reputations and a big budget have not saved the visitors who featured former A-League stars Ben Khalfallah and Massimo Murdocca, the former playing as sweeper while Murdocca took up a central midfield role.

After a goalless first half the deadlock was broken in the 61st minute when a long Khalfallah free-kick fell to Borbor Sam who turned past Lloyd Clothier before striking a low shot past Langy keeper Robbie Acs from the right of the area.

Four minutes from time Langy midfielder Paul Speed took aim from outside the area and his blocked shot fell for teammate Luke Burgess whose close-range volley levelled the scores.

Straight from the restart Nunawading fashioned the best chance of the contest when Sam squared for what should have been a simple Murdocca tap-in but somehow Brendan Richardson blocked the ball on the line and it was scrambled clear.

A minute later John Kuol shot wide from the left of the area and that was Langy’s last chance to end the day on a winning note.

Strikers defeated fellow relegation battler Heatherton United 3-2 at Centenary Park on Saturday in dramatic circumstances.

Ali Sanad was the benefactor of an error from Strikers keeper Dilan Mery in the 20th minute but John Prescott’s seventh goal since signing from Casey Comets nine weeks ago made it 1-1.

Two minutes into first-half injury time Alpha Turay’s cool finish gave the home side a 2-1 lead at the break.

A Sanad volley in the 60th minute made it 2-2 and set up a tense finish and it was left back Sam Luxford who became an instant hero in the 87th minute when he beat several opponents before slotting home a left-foot shot.

The goal sparked wild celebrations among Strikers’ long-suffering fans and when the final whistle sounded what seemed fanciful a few weeks ago had become reality.

“A massive congratulations must go

Stand by your man: Langwarrin paid tribute to their departing manager by unveiling the Gus Macleod Stand at Lawton Park.

to Jamie Skelly and his coaching staff of Joe Donaghy and Ben Caffrey who took on the job when everyone had written us off,” Strikers president Trevor Johnston said.

“Our club will forever be indebted to them and what they have brought to us in such a short period of time.”

In State 1 South-East news Mornington went down 2-1 away to Eltham Redbacks on Saturday.

Josh Valadon put the visitors ahead in the second half but goals in the 71st and 81st minutes from Dejan Milevski and Lachlan Hogben gave the home aside a crucial three points in its fight to avoid relegation.

Meanwhile Gary Hodgson stepped down as president of Frankston Pines last week after seven years at the helm.

Hamdija Osmancevic is interim president and is expected to stand for the position at the club’s AGM on Thursday 27 September at the Monterey Reserve clubrooms.

His son Amir plays with Northcote in the NPL and is tipped to join Pines for the 2019 season along with some other high-profile recruits as the club targets promotion.

Pines aims to build a significant war chest for next season and Alistair Webster, who joined the committee this season, is believed to be raising sponsorship with a figure of $100,000 being bandied about as a playing budget.

Hodgson, Steve Spencer, Patrick Duffy, Matt Murray and Tommy Mitchell are expected to again be part of the new committee but Pip Hodgson is having a well-earned break.

Other newcomers may join the committee and the club is keen to revive its junior wing.

Right now though Pines has a battle on its hands to avoid the drop after Saturday’s 7-0 home loss to State 2 South-East champion Doveton and this weekend’s away clash with Doncaster Rovers looms as a must-win.

In State 3 South-East news Skye United’s State 2 promotion push officially ended last weekend with a 3-0 loss away to Middle Park.

Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United blew a chance to move off the bottom of the State 3 ladder when it could only draw 1-1 with fellow battler Dingley Stars at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday.

In the 15th minute a long ball from Dion Brown took an awkward bounce and was pounced on by Dylan Waugh who put the home side ahead.

Dingley equalised in the 32nd minute when it got forward in numbers and Kerem Akyala finished off a good interpassing move.

The visitors dominated the first 20 minutes of the second half but the Tigers clawed their way back and in the last 20 minutes peppered the Stars goal but to no avail.

In State 4 South news Baxter led twice away to Sandown Lions but eventually went down 5-2.

Stuart MacKenzie and Ben Meiklem scored for Baxter but the Lions came roaring back with a Tevin Mwenenjawa hat-trick and goals from Matt Thowat and Dobuol Kong.

The result keeps Baxter in the relegation scrap and it faces title-chasing Springvale City at Baxter Park this weekend.

Championship and promotion aspirations are on the line for Somerville Eagles going into the final round of the State 5 South season.

That’s due to an injury time winner from Ash Scholes as Somerville downed Endeavour Hills Fire 2-1 last weekend.

Endeavour defender Laurent Coralie was sent off in the 20th minute but the 10 men took a shock first-half lead when Eid Sarwari went down inside the area and Johanes Negassi converted from the spot.

Somerville dominated the remainder of the contest but couldn’t break through until the 83rd minute when Bjorn Kutschera tackled an opponent and the ball looped over Endeavour keeper Joshua Permal for the equaliser.

Somerville laid siege to the Endeavour goal but just when a draw seemed inevitable a Scholes header kept the local side’s dream alive.

Aspendale may have derailed

Rowville Eagles’ promotion chances after a come-from-behind 2-1 away win last weekend.

The visitors’ depth was tested due to injuries and a number of teenagers were thrown into the fray.

Rowville’s star striker Daniel Grigoruta put his side ahead in the 9th minute but Domenic Paul equalised in the 15th minute and was rewarded for a superb run in the 83rd minute with the winner.

Rowville’s Ruben Ichim was sent off in the 88th minute for violent conduct but Aspendale was able to maintain its composure until the final whistle.

In NPLW news Southern United’s stellar under-14s made it back-to-back titles when they defeated Bayside United 1-0 last Wednesday night in a catch-up match at Kingston Heath Soccer Complex.

Danica Vukcevic scored the winner in the 11th minute and the squad now turns its focus towards another finals campaign in a bid to repeat last season’s championship and Grand Final successes.

Last weekend the champions beat South Melbourne 3-1 at Middle Park to strike a psychological blow against a potential finals opponent.

Alex Jones scored for Southern in the 9th minute but Maxine Diblasi equalised five minutes later.

Rhys McKenna put Southern in front nine minutes into the second half and Jones rounded off the scoreline in the 53rd minute.

Southern under-12s hammered South Melbourne 6-1 with goals from Eden McKeown (3), Rhiannon Kelleher (2) and a first for the season from Jemma De Vos. John Meads’ squad has enjoyed an excellent year with 18 wins, three draws and three losses.

The under-16s lost 4-1 to South Melbourne with MacKenzie Hicks scoring for Southern while the under19s lost 10-0 and the seniors 8-0.

Next weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: Southern Utd v Senior NTC (Monterey Reserve, U16s 11am, U19s 1pm), Melbourne City v Langwarrin (LaTrobe University, Pitch 1), Mornington v Malvern City (Lawton Park), Mazenod v Peninsula Strikers (Mazenod College), Doncaster Rovers v Frankston Pines (Anderson Park), Skye Utd v Brighton (Skye Recreation Reserve), Noble Park Utd v Seaford Utd (Parkfield Reserve), Baxter v Springvale City (Baxter Park), Aspendale v Knox Utd (Jack Grut Reserve), Pakenham Utd v Somerville Eagles (IYU Recreation Reserve).

Gulls off to a flyer, Sharks sink BASKETBALL

By Ben Triandafillou THE Chelsea Gulls have taken out the opening round of the Big V grand-final series in dominant fashion on Saturday 25 August, while the Southern Peninsula Sharks will need to win two on the road to be named grand-final victors.

The Chelsea Gulls men’s division one side claimed an 11-point victory over the Shepparton Gators (94-83) in the first round of the best-of-three grand-final series.

The Gulls scored the victory away from home and are set to play their next two rounds in front of their home crowd at Patterson River Stadium, with around 1,000 supporters expected to flock to the game.

Chelsea Gulls head coach Peter Caspersz said the critical win was one of the side’s best performances for the season.

“The second half performance was enormous but we’ve got to back it up now and do it all again,” Caspersz said.

“It definitely takes a little bit of the heat off us and puts a bit more pressure on them to win these next two rounds on the road but we’re certainly not getting ahead of ourselves.

“We were in the same position against Western Port and we won’t want to be making the same mistake again.

“We’re confident heading in but we don’t want to be getting too confident as they have two very good imports that could be capable of

anything so we’ve got to be mindful of that.”

Caspersz said the Gulls supporters have made a huge difference throughout the season and is expecting another massive turnout over the weekend.

“It was a great game, but ‘wow’

would be the word I’d used to describe the crowd,” he said.

“The support from the supporters at every away game has been incredible. I reckon we had about 300 followers in that first game.”

The Gulls will likely be opening the footy oval to allow for parking

at the stadium with Caspersz saying that the game will be “electrifying”.

In the first round of the women’s state championship grand-final, the Southern Peninsula Sharks suffered a 35-point loss to the Sunbury Jets (50-85) at home.

The Sharks will now need to

win their next two rounds away at Boardman Stadium, Sunbury to be crowned champions.

Southern Peninsula Sharks basketball operations manager Lucas Allen said the women’s team certainly didn’t lack a drive to win.

“It was a tough game but I think the Jets’ experience having five or six national league players made a lot of difference,” Allen said.

“You certainly couldn’t question [the Sharks’] intent. They had a great crack but just couldn’t get the ball in the back of the net.

“Sunbury did a great job defensively, but hopefully we can get a few shots to drop and turn the result around.”

It’s no easy feat to win away from home but Allen believes the Sharks won’t be too fazed by the travel.

“They won their first three finals games on the road so I think they’ll be able to handle playing away,” he said.

“Sunbury have earnt [the two home grand final games] with how they’ve gone throughout the year.

“Our girls aren’t going to be able to match the international experience that they have, but they’ll certainly be better for having that experience in the first round and I’m sure they’ll put in another great performance.”

Both of the second and third round grand final matches will be played on the weekend of Saturday 1 September for the Southern Peninsula Sharks and the Chelsea Gulls.

Waves end history-making run NETBALL

By Ben Triandafillou THE Peninsula Waves’ under-19s history-making run has come to an end with a tough loss to DC North East Blaze in the Preliminary finals on Sunday 26 August.

After claiming the minor semi-final over the reigning premiers, Geelong Cougars, on Wednesday 22 August, the Waves quickly backed up their performance to contest for the last remaining spot in the under-19s VNL grand final on the weekend.

The Waves’ side, which is the first under-19s team to make it through to the finals series in the history of the club, put in a top performance against the Blaze but were unable to prevail over the 2017 grand finalists and were defeated by 23 goals (60-37).

While star Waves’ shooters Abuk Kenyang and Georgia Hernan managed to shoot an impressive 37 goals under the pressure of the Blaze, the Peninsula team weren’t able to match the drive.

The Blaze soared to an early nine goal lead in the first quarter, and while the Waves shot within four goals of their opponents in the second and third quarters, they were unable to recover.

Changes in their player combinations allowed the Waves to adapt to the Blaze’s playing style and stay fresh, as Ashlee Barnett, Sarah Russell, Neomai Taufa and Sussu Liai rotated through the defensive goal circle, but the determined Blaze side were too strong in the end.

Peninsula Waves championship coach Jess Whitfort said the club couldn’t be any happier with how the

under-19s competed throughout the season.

“We started with a pretty fresh team this season and we didn’t really know what to expect but they put in such a consistent effort throughout the season

and we are absolutely thrilled with how well they went,” Whitfort said.

“It was a little bit of a surprise, but they put in during the pre-season and that really paid off. Most of the team are 14 or 15 years old, so to get finals

experience is massive and hopefully we can build off that again for next season.”

The new Waves’ (teams) for next season is set to be announced in the coming weeks.

MPNFL clubs reject Cranbourne

Champs: Archie, Ollie, Joel and Hamish are all smiles after representing Victoria at the National Cross-Country Championships.

Picture: Supplied

A vote by the 22 club presidents has seen Cranbourne Football Club have their application to join the MPNFL rejected.

The presidents met on 29 August to cast their judgement on whether the Eagles should enter the competition. To be accepted into the league Cranbourne needed an 75% majority of votes, but fell short.

Cranbourne’s current competition, the SEFNL, is disbanding at the end of the year, leaving the Eagles with limited options.

The club has appealed the decision to the AFL South East Region Commission, and an independent panel

Little Aths have a ‘ball’ at Championships THE Mornington Peninsula Little Athletics Centre had six talented juniors compete at the Australian Cross-Country Championships at Maleny, QLD on Saturday 25 August.

Hamish Terris, Declyn Tanner, Archie Hewett, Ollie Pratt, Jake Simmons and Joel Bell took on an incredibly tough course at the national competition, with Hamish also getting the honour of captaining the Team Vic Primary Boys.

Archie and Hamish competed in the boy’s under-12s competition where they finished in sixth and 32nd place respectively. Archie did outstanding to be the first Victorian to cross the line in the national competition, while it was Hamish’s third time representing the state.

The lone girl, Declyn Tanner, did a tremendous job in the under-11 girl’s competition and claimed 30th

place, while Ollie, Jake and Joel competed in the under-13 boy’s secondary division and finished in 36th, 56th and 57th place, respectively.

Mornington Peninsula Little Aths assistant secretary Lisa Henry said that it sounded like all the juniors had an “absolute ball” at the championships.

“I was told that it “was a dreamcome-true” for Archie, and Declyn had an amazing time and was very proud of her efforts,” she said.

Registrations for the 2018/19 Track and Field season have also now opened for Saturday mornings starting in October. For more information visit the Mornington Peninsula Little Aths website at: www.morningtonlittleaths.org.

will now decide the club’s fate.

Cranbourne president Gerry Kelly said he was “very disappointed” about the outcome.

“There was a lot of support from a lot of clubs, but there are some against us as well. It’s confusing because I think there is a general agreeance that they want a third division so that each club can find their level. To make a third division they need more clubs,” he said.

“The MPNFL is really our only option. We need a home, we need to play somewhere. Mornington Peninsula is the best fit for the Cranbourne Football Club. I think we would

improve the league as well.

“Cranbourne Football Club need a home next year. Our league disbanded, and we need somewhere to play.

Historically and geographically we see ourselves as part of the Mornington Peninsula, and we want to be there for the next 50 years.”

The proposal would have seen Cranbourne bring their reserves, under 19s, and Netball teams across to the league as well.

The vote took place in the form of a secret ballot, leaving Cranbourne in the dark as to who voted against them.

Pearson breaks duck

MORNINGTON-based apprentice jockey Rose Pearson has claimed her first metropolitan victory at Ladbrokes Park on Wednesday 29 August.

The promising female jockey ran away with a comfortable 4.5-length victory on the six-year-old mare, Street Spun, for her boss, Mornington trainer David Brideoake.

While Pearson was initially trapped three-wide for the first 400m of the race, a proactive move to take the

daughter of Hard Spun to the lead inevitably made all the difference with the mare continuing to extend on her winning margin.

Pearson, who has had 10 rides at metropolitan level in Melbourne, said it was great to break through with so few rides in town and even better to do it with an “old champion” like Street Spun.

“She’s been such a fantastic horse to the stable,” she said.

“I’ve been riding her for three years and every prep she just comes out and wins multiple races.

“She prefers the ground a lot softer than this, but she was just full of running coming down the hill. I tried to move her out to the better ground but she just kept finding.”

Pearson kicked off her apprenticeship in 2014 and has accumulated 35 wins on country tracks.

Mt Eliza search for alternative home venue MOUNT Eliza Tennis Club’s use of the Frankston Tennis Club’s courts for coaching and competition purposes has been extended until the end of 2019, but the ever-growing club’s issue of limited “overflow” courts could soon become a problem.

Mt Eliza, the 11th top ranked club in Victoria, has been hiring seven courts from the Frankston Tennis Club.

However, with the expected demolition and re-location of the Frankston tennis venue to McLelland Drive, Frankston to make way for the Frankston Hospital’s expansion, Mt Eliza will need to find a new location for their home “overflow” courts.

Frankston Tennis Club’s new complex at Centenary Park, which is estimated to be worth $14 million, will be too far for Mt Eliza to call it their “alternative home” venue.

Mt Eliza Tennis Club’s head coach Steve Foot said there was a silver lining to the extension of their time at the current Frankston Tennis Club.

“We were a little concerned that if [Frankston] was closed down on March 31, which was the initial

Forever growing: Mt Eliza Tennis Club is in search for a new “overflow” location to act as a new alternative home. Picture: Supplied

agreement, then we wouldn’t get our third and fourth tournaments in which begin at the start of next year,” Foot said.

“But now we’ve been told we’ve got it for the whole year, so we should get four tournaments and hopefully 4 September 2018

get a fifth one in, as we’ve applied to run an extra one next year.

“The fact that we’ve got an extra nine months should allow us enough time to find a new alternative home venue.”

Mt Eliza Tennis Club, which cur-

rently uses 10 courts at their home venue, has previously hired courts at Baxter Park, Long Island and Padua College to cover their “overflow” but as the club continues to grow, these options become less practical.

“There’s no other venue that has

enough courts that’s close enough in proximity for us to share or use,” he said.

“There’s obviously clubs close to us. There’s Ranelagh just down the road from us but they’ve got their own teams, there’s Overport Park not far away but they’ve got their own teams, and there’s Mornington but they’ve also got their own teams.

“There’s no logical venue in close proximity for us to have our overflow teams operate out of and that’s why we’ve been so keen to build some extra courts on the oval but I don’t think that’s going to happen. ”We used to use [Baxter Park] and that’s got four courts, but four courts just isn’t enough.

“Because of the physical size of the Frankston venue, with the 15 courts they have there, it means that we’ve been able to hire seven of their courts without causing too much trouble.

Mt Eliza will continue to hire courts from the current Frankston venue until the end of 2019, but will continue to look for alternative options to help cater for their “overflow”.
