Hunting Success – Rory’s Ready After Life-Long Apprenticeship

By Julian Cook Lessons learned working for some of racing’s biggest stables has Rory Hunter primed to make a name for himself.

Hunter’s personal training started from a young age with his grandfather, uncle and father all preparing horses in their own right.

“We grew up in WA originally and my dad, he started trained training from a young age, about 18, he trained most of his life over there,” Hunter said.

“He was lucky enough to get a horse pretty early on in his career called Mister Till, he won the Winterbottom Stakes over in Perth.

“I’ve always been around the stables with mum and dad. Obviously, I wanted to be a jockey like most kids but I was too tall for that so yeah, training was the next big idea.”

Set to pursue his dream straight out of high school, Hunter sought work with some of the most astute trainers in the game to build his knowledge and skills ahead an eventual training career.

“Once I left school I went to Melbourne and worked first for Nigel Blackiston at Flemington for about twelve months,” Hunter said.

“That was a good experience because I think he’s really good with stayers so that gave me a good idea from that point of view.

“Then I went from Peter Moody’s after that and was there for about eight years and that was the best because I was sort of right there when Black Caviar kicked off her career.”

Working in the presence of the greatest sprinter of all time would be exciting enough for most but Hunter was just as impressed by the team’s ability to manage the legendary mare’s injury issues, lessons he keeps with him today.

“The work that you had to do just to keep her up and going was just incredible,” Hunter said.

“[I’ve learned that] you just don’t have to be in a hurry with your horses.

Now, nearly twelve months into his career as a full-time trainer, Hunter’s focus is on expanding his own team at his new base on Roberts Road, Mornington.

“It’s been really enjoyable,” Hunter said.

“I’ve had some really good people to learn off. I try and take in as much knowledge as I can and really try and implement their ideas in the way that I want to try and train my horses.

“It’s given me a really good grounding that will hopefully set me up into the future.”

That future looks bright and his passion shines through when reflecting on his first year out on his own.

His first winner, Songaa at Stony Creek in December last year, “Pretty awesome… pretty incredible.”

His first Mornington winner, Tactfull in May, “Pretty special… very special.”

Stable stalwart It’s Tornado Storm, who won the final race at last year’s Mornington Cup meeting, continues to fly the flag for Hunter’s team. A potential tilt at the Neds Peninsula Cup (1600m) on November 5 would provide a huge thrill for the young conditioner.

“It’s been a bit frustrating; we just keep drawing wide gates with him,” Hunter said.

“You know, if they’re showing you signs that

“It’s [the Peninsula Cup] definitely a race we’ll have a look at, for sure.

Morning dip payout for retiree Twilight IT was more beachside than trackside, but there was no lacking in enthusiasm when the Melbourne Cup was run across the beach at Balnarring by security guard.

The guard, Gem Biricik, was at the beach early on Friday 20 October as part of the People’s Cup Tour of the $600,000 18-carat-gold trophy in the lead-up to next Tuesday’s running

of the Melbourne Cup. The tour started the previous day at St Thomas More Primary School, Mount Eliza, before heading to Martha Cove Village, Safety Beach and at night to the Ranelagh Club, Mount Eliza.

Also on the beach at Balnarring and probably attracting more attention than the cup was the

2020 winner, Twilight Payment.

Serise Veli, from Moorooduc-based Racing Hearts Equine Assisted Therapy rode the nowretired Twilight Payment into the shallows (his first dip in the sea) and watched as the horse then happily took a sand bath to dry off.

Administrator to ‘fix’ land council woes Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A SPECIAL administrator has been appointed to bring the Frankston-based Bunurong Land Council (Aboriginal Corporation) back to “good health”.

Peter McQuoid, who was appointment in early September, has told the land council’s members that someone in his role “helps to fix problems such as money trouble, service delivery problems or poor governance”. “… The special administrator’s aim is to work with the corporation to fix internal problems and restore it to good health. When I achieve that, I will appoint a new board of directors and hand

back control of the corporation to its members.”

Under the terms of his appointment McQuoid, of PDM Consultancy, is due to hand back control on Friday 15 March 2024.

In his first newsletter, McQuoid said the Registrar of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporations Tricia Stroud had “formed a view that the corporation was not being governed effectively or in the best interests of the corporation and its members”.

“Problems with governance and financial management have been going on for some time.

The corporation hasn’t successfully held an AGM for the past two financial years, denying members their right to elect directors to govern the corporation on their behalf.”

Financial statements on the Bunurong Land

Council website for the year ended 30 June 2021 show a net profit of $1,294,887 ($698,446 in 2020) and a “positive cash flow from operating activities” of $3,542,405 ($1,128,815 in 2020).

The land council provides municipal councils with archaeological field assessments as part of cultural heritage management plan (CHMP) process, cultural heritage advice, and information about the Aboriginal community, people, Bunurong culture, and the environment.

For each of the past two years Mornington Peninsula Shire has given the land council $100,000 under a memorandum of understanding agreement that, according to the mayor Cr Steve Holland, “details our partnership on matters such as land care, cultural training and some of the actions of our Reconciliation Action Plan”.

Holland said the land council’s involvement in CHMPs costs “from about $6000, depending on their complexity”, but was unable to say had how much the shire had paid in the past three years “due to the range of services and fees involved over multiple projects”.

When announcing the appointment of a special administrator Stroud said an examination of the corporation’s books in March “identified serious concerns with respect to the standard of corporate governance of the corporation”.

Examiners who checked the corporation’s books in March “confirmed poor standards of corporate governance and financial management, likely arising from long-standing dysfunction and factions among key roles in the corporation”.

ST. Mark’s church in Balnarring was filled to capacity when the Somers Chamber Music Society presented ‘Thee of the Greats’ with the Hakea Quartet on Sunday 8 October. The ‘Greats’ were Joseph Haydn (String Quartet Op. 77 N0. 1 in G Major), Ludwig van Beethoven (String Quartet No. 4 in C Minor Op. 18) and Franz Schubert (String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor, D810 ‘Death and the Maiden’). The quartet, which performed excellently, consisted of Fergus Ascot (cello), Emma Amery (violin), Sara Barbagallo (violin) and Sandra Ionescu (viola). After an enthusiastic

acknowledgement of their performance by the audience, the quartet performed an encore: a touching performance of Waltzing Matilda.

The Somers Chamber Music Society organises two concerts each year and these are held either in St Mark’s in Balnarring or at St. John’s in Flinders. The annual membership subscription is $10 and new members are always welcome. The Society’s postal address is P.O Box 20, Somers 3927, email is somerschambermusic@bigpond. com and telephone number is 0403 592 195.

Call for rail money to be spent ‘locally’ FRESH doubts have been expressed over the future of $225 million set aside for the stalled train line extension from Frankston to Baxter.

The money for the extension was committed by the previous Coalition federal government and later supported by then opposition leader Anthony Albanese in the lead up to the 2018 election.

The cost to electrify and duplicate the Stony Point line to Baxter was quoted at up to $1.5 billion in a business case completed before the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the planned extension has failed to progress any further than a business case and the state government has not committed any money to it.

Meanwhile, Frankston Council is calling for the project’s committed federal money to remain in the Dunkley and Flinders electorates.

The council last week voted to advocate for the money to be spent on transport projects in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula.

Frankston councillor Kris Bolam is concerned the lack of progress on the project could see the money allocated elsewhere.

“The internal belief both within council and indeed talking to a number of politicians is that this could be justification for the present government to rescind its promise to electrify the Stony Point line and instead have the $221 million reallocated and repurposed for other projects outside of the Frankston municipality. If this happens, I think it’s a very disappointing and sad move,” he said.

Bolam said the $221 million left over after the business case was “earmarked for the Dunkley and Flinders electorates, therefore it is only reasonable that a meaningful portion remain here”.

“We keep talking about the Nepean Highway

Seniors taken for a ride redevelopment from Olivers Hill to the Mile Bridge. We all know this would cost $40 million - I’d love to get access to some of those monies from that $221 million,” he said. “What about making our roads safer? According to our officers there’s $10 million worth of road safety initiatives still to be done. Federal monies could go towards that.”

Bolam said $17 million was needed to complete footpaths and $80 million to seal “all our roads in Frankston”.

The Baxter rail extension was included in a 90-day review of planned infrastructure projects ordered by the incoming Labor federal government. Dunkley MP Peta Murphy’s office told The News that she was still waiting for the outcome of the review.

Frankston Council has also discussed other uses for the committed federal money if the rail extension does not proceed.

(Head)masters of rock ’n’ roll

By Greg Lacey* THE click, pop and hum of a PA system starting up is soon joined by the sound of guitars tuning, drumbeats and scales on trumpet and saxophone.

Microphone checks and a 12-bar blues line on bass guitar is soon joined by a rhythmic drum backbeat and then guitar chords. The room is filled with music and then laughter, banter and eager chatter.

These are the sounds of the Headmasters Apprentices, a pop band of eight school principals and assistant principals from the Frankston area and the Mornington Peninsula.

Some are retired and others still work.

The band was formed 15 years ago after its members joined music professionals on stage at a principals’ conference.

The band was soon playing rock, blues and soul covers at conferences, charity gigs and other events across Victoria. It often plays for free, although the minimum charge is a meal for the musicians.

Silvio Vitale, former principal at Mornington Primary School, said the band was a “perfect example of principals combining a love of music and a desire to manage our own wellbeing by creating regular opportunities for interaction, banter, support and, of course, making music”.

“Many gigs are at significant birthdays. We relish the camaraderie of the band and the joy we bring to audiences who just want to dance and have fun.”

Other members are rhythm guitarist Mark Dewhurst, former assistant principal at Somerville Rise primary; saxophonist Jeff Mead, former assistant principal at Pearcedale primary; Andrew Forrest, former principal at Baxter primary, on trumpet and trombone; drummer Andrew Felsinger, former principal at Barton primary in Cranbourne West; bass guitarist Simon Hamilton, executive director at the Education Department’s southeastern regional office; and lead guitarist Barry Wiggs, former principal at Cranbourne East secondary (and guitarist with Ants Bush Band 1972–2017). Former music teacher at Rosebud primary Mal Boag has also played with the band.

The band has raised thousands of dollars for charities from gigs on the peninsula and will next perform on Melbourne Cup Eve, Monday 6 November, at Springvale RSL with a portion of ticket sales going to the Poppy Appeal. Tickets from Springvale RSL, phone 9548 4155. To book the band, call Andrew Felsinger on 0418 991 989. * Greg Lacey, Lyndhurst Primary principal, shares vocals in the Headmasters Apprentices.

Clean Ocean pitches in for cricketers Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au ALTHOUGH its influence and interests are national and International, Clean Ocean Foundation remains a part of the Flinders community, where it started more than 20 years.

“The Flinders community supported us in our first 10 years of campaigning and now we’re giving back,” president Pete Smith said when announcing the foundation would sponsor Flinders Cricket Club’s women’s team.”

The foundation is also hoping the wider community of the Mornington Peninsula will get behind its continuing efforts to finally clean up the sewage outfall at Gunnamatta (“Taxpayers’ cash ‘pours into the ocean’” The News 29/8/22).

Successful in its early campaign to have the water from the South Eastern Treatment Plant treated to a Class A level, the foundation says the effluent daily flowing into Bass Strait is contaminated with microplastics, forever chemicals (PFAS), and nitrogen.

The latest warnings of the ongoing pollution come almost one year since Gunnamatta beach was closed and Melbourne Water advised people not to engage in any recreational activities including swimming and surfing at or near the beach which is within Mornington Peninsula National Park.

At that stage Clean Ocean issued a news release headed: Cup Weekend: Closed and Polluted Beaches – Is this Victoria’s future?

“This Sunday, Cup weekend [2022],

Flinders women’s cricket team: Back row, from left, Steph Hill, Narelle Field, Fran Wagner, Tanya White, Mia Scotland, Morgan Maher. Front: Sage Jones, Grace Field, Luella Field, Bianca Field, Leila Boggs, Sandra Field. Team members not in the picture are captain Abbie King, Maddie Bold, Liz Clancy, Rebecca Kleeberg and Millicent Blake. Picture: Supplied

beachgoers on the Mornington Peninsula were confronted with what may well become increasingly regular events – beaches so polluted, they are unsafe to use.

“Poorly treated waste has been

dumped near the popular surfing beach, making the coastline and its waters unsafe for the last two weeks.

Heavy rains that have caused flooding in Melbourne also caused the Eastern Treatment Plant to fail.”

Smith last week said nothing has changed since last year’s closure, with discharges continuing at the Gunnamatta outfall.

“We hope that the community will once again support the foundation and

pressure Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and the state government about this unconscionable shoreline dumping of 400 million litres of semitreated sewerage at Gunnamatta,” he said.

Clean Ocean Foundation says the treatment plant needs a further upgrade to make the peninsula’s coastline safe for future generations.

“We owe this to our children and to our marine environment,” Smith said.

“The ocean is not a dump. This is a real issue and a real problem and there is a real solution.”

The foundation wants wastewater from 189 outfalls around Australia to be recycled.

Smith said this would minimise the environmental effects of wastewater on the marine environment “while also ensuring a vital source of water on a dry continent is not wasted”.

The foundation counts among its successes the lobbying the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) for Australia's recreational water guidelines to be raised to match criteria adopted by the World Health Organisation.

Administrator for land council Continued from Page 1 Stroud said positions on the board of directors had been “vacated”.

Financial risk management and governance expert in the financial services sector, Kevin Leighton, has been appointed interim CEO. "I'm looking forward to taking on this interim CEO role and getting to know the remarkable team at Bunurong Land Council," Leighton said.

“Professionals” to be appointed next month (November) to a corporation advisory group will, at the end of the special administration, be invited to become non-executive directors on a new board. Applicants to the “not designated/ identified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander appointments” will be expected to have “professional backgrounds in finance, legal, business or other disciplines”.

The Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation (BLCAC) is the Traditional Owner organisation and registered Aboriginal Party representing the Bunurong people of the south-eastern Kulin Nation on the Mornington Peninsula, Western Port and part of south-west Gippsland.

The latest intervention in the affairs of the Bunurong Land Council comes eight years after the Federal Court in Melbourne fined and disqualified from managing an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander corporations for a set number of years four former directors of the Bunurong Land Council. The fines ranged from $25,000 to $5000 and the managing bans ranged from seven years to three.

The April 2015 case followed the appointment

of a special administrator in January 2014 who, due to inadequate records, was unable to properly identify the source and destination of large sums of money.

At the time of the administrator’s appointment the land council had not held an annual general meeting for 10 years and there had been one directors’ meeting in five years.

A news release issued by the ORIC in July 2014 announcing the end of the special administration said there had been “woeful record keeping, financial irregularities, non-payment of tax and possible insolvency—a number of former members were in fierce denial of any governance problems at the corporation”.

“If ever a corporation required external assistance to get back on track it was the Bunurong Land Council (Aboriginal Corporation),” Indigenous Corporations registrar Anthony Beven said. “It is disappointing that some people sought to undermine the special administrator, rather than working constructively with him for the betterment of the corporation.”

The news release went on to state that from the outset of their appointment the special administrator and registrar “took the position that poor governance, accountability and transparency would no longer be tolerated at the Bunurong Land Council (Aboriginal Corporation)”.

“The corporation is now strong again and well run. Bunurong people who have long been excluded from having a say in the running of their corporation have been warmly welcomed back to the corporation.”

Clothes to help in all situations ROSEBUD based charity Clothes4U is taking the stress out of looking professional on a budget, providing students and people looking for work with quality clothes at low or no cost.

Charity president Tina Donahue said buying new clothes that were suitable for employment situations was sometimes out of reach for students or people looking to join the workforce.

Donahue said clients who come to Clothes4U

were given a one-on-one consultation, taking into account their body shape, likes and dislikes and the reason for needing clothing.

The not-for-profit relies on donations and holds monthly clothing sales open to the public to help raise money to cover its overheads, including rent.

Hastings Chapel celebrates centenary A SPECIAL service was held at the Uniting Church in Hastings on Sunday 15 October to celebrate the 100th anniversary of services in the present church.

Although early records are sketchy, in April 1866 it was recorded that a worshipping community of the Wesleyan Methodist Church was meeting in what was known as Star Point Chapel. In February,1869 a meeting was held with the purpose of forming a committee to work for a ‘newer and larger place of worship’. In that year the government made a grant of the land, about one and a half acres.

On 24 September 1871 the new Wesleyan church was officially opened. It was a ‘neat brick building in the Gothic style and capable of seating comfortably about 150 persons’. Unfortunately this church was subject to flooding and eventually it was decided to demolish and rebuild on higher ground. Accordingly this relocation took place and the ‘new’ church was opened in October 1923 by the President of the Conference, Rev. Thomas S Woodfull. The bluestone foundation stone simply records “Methodist Church. Erected 1871, Re-erected 1923”.

A Heritage Report for the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council 2015 recorded: “The Hastings Uniting Church Chapel is architecturally significant at a local level for its Victorian Gothic style, designed and built in 1871 and relocated on the same allotment in 1923. Although it is a modest and typical example of a style that was popular particularly in small country towns in Victoria, in the nineteenth century, it is the only one of this type in the Hastings Tyabb district. The internal strapped coved ceiling, main space and front porch with timber lined ceiling are also significant. Public views of the building from Marine Parade and Hodgins Road are also important”.

The small brick Hastings chapel fell into disuse as a worship venue when the much larger grey brick building was built nearby in the early 1970s.

As the congregation at the time was smaller, they continued to use the small wooden church in The Crescent, Tyabb, whilst the Hastings building was used as premises for the fledgling Flinders Christian College then being established. The older, brick, chapel was in turn fitted out with partitions and fluorescent lights and used for storage and offices.

It wasn’t until around 2008/9 that it was discovered that asbestos in the rooms attached to the grey brick church began to disintegrate, that a ban was placed on using the premises until repairs could be made. Accordingly, it was decided that perhaps the old chapel could be renovated and services held there for the now smaller congregation.

As a result in the summer of 2010, working bees occurred when male church members attacked the interior, removing old carpet, pulling down pine partitions and damaged flooring, and installing new flooring. Rewiring was next with exposed conduit removed, and new pendant lights replacing the old fluoros. Members of the Anglican church heard about our endeavours and kindly and generously volunteered their retired professional painters, to repaint the interior. New carpet was laid and furniture installed and the congregation happily began weekly worship in this beautiful little chapel.

However an initial Heritage report listed many features both interior and

exterior that needed removing or repair, as well as drainage to be carried out. Money to remedy this was scarce.

At this time, it was proposed that once the asbestos repairs were made to the big building, that it could be used for community events, and the idea of a Craft Expo was decided upon with any funds raised going solely to the work still needed to be carried out on the Chapel.

The first Craft Expo was held in the big grey building in 2011 and was such a success, it continued to be held yearly until it grew too large for the premises, and it moved in 2018 to the Hastings Community Hub where it is still held annually each April. The funds raised from the 11 years of Craft Expos have been used solely for the chapel repairs, and in the past year the older attached vestry room and office have had a total make-over with new plasterboard, wainscotting, paint, carpet, lighting and a replacement of the old 1950s style sink unit. It was interesting to find the original green double doors still intact in the west wall of the vestry. The old Baltic pine ceiling was carefully restored. Much of the initial demolition of the old Masonite walls was removed by volunteer labour, while professional builders, painters, plumbers, carpet layers and electrician were used for the restoration. Curtains, a sofa and other furniture have been donated and the room now is light, bright and welcoming.

Now in 2023 we acknowledge the 100 years that the little brick Chapel has graced Hastings, and as the Craft Expos have brought to light some outstanding local craft artisans, a wall hanging created by Fran James was commissioned. This has been placed on the blank end wall of the Chapel and was revealed on the 100th anniversary on 15 October.

Hastings’ church link to Bodyline REV Thomas Staines Brittingham Woodfull (1872-1941) was a prominent leader of the Methodist church in the 1920s and 1930s. When the third of his four sons (William Maldon Woodfull) showed some promise, a cricket net was erected in the backyard of the parsonage. This proved to be a good investment as Bill Woodfull captained Victoria and then Australia.

He and fellow Victorian Bill Pensford formed a formidable opening pair.

Bill Woodfull is perhaps best known for his dignified and moral conduct

in the tumultuous bodyline series of 1932-33. The controversary peaked in the Third Test in Adelaide when Woodfull was felled by a blow over the heart. This led to one of the most quoted words in the history of cricket when Woodfull stated “There are two teams out there. One is playing cricket.

The other is not”.

Post cricket, Bill Woodfull became a prominent educationalist, his career culminating in six years as Headmaster of Melbourne Boys High School.

Council’s ‘discriminatory’ choice of flags to fly Our Mornington Peninsula Shire offices and council should remain apolitical and not promote any legislation that our government promotes (“Councillor to undergo ‘development training’” The News 24/10/23). Why is it that this shire bows down to the government of this day on many issues and particularly with the LGBTQIA+ agenda?

Let’s celebrate diversity and inclusion, shall we? Why not fly a flag with a fish celebrating Christians? They are a minority. Or why not a People with Disability flag or an aged flag? Or why not design a flag for the homeless? Since this shire claims to value, respect and celebrate diversity and inclusion, let’s then embrace all.

These are all minority groups too.

Since we have so many flags flying outside all our shire offices, Mornington, Hastings and Rosebud, I speak on behalf of many of this shire’s constituents and demand that this shire remove the LGBTQIA+ flag or put up those I have mentioned, and more, as they are being discriminatory.

Our shire offices look ridiculous and look like something out of the nursery rhyme, “There was an old woman who lived in a shoe’s” washing line.

The LGBTQIA+ community is no different to any other. Singling it out by flying a flag in its “honour” is certainly singling out a sexual life choice that is not anyone’s business and pushing the government‘s narrative. Under no circumstances should this happen.

Something very fishy is going on here with our Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Since it is us, the rate paying constituents paying these councillors, it would be nice if we were asked what flags we would like flown in our shire.

We pay our rates and our taxes, and this shire seems to be double dipping as it is a voice for the government rather than a voice for its constituents.

Felicity Benson, Mornington

No gag for councillor As a Blairgowrie resident of over 30 years and ratepayer I write to support Susan Bissinger, my ward councillor (“Councillor to undergo ‘development training’” The News 24/10/23).

I’ve watched with shame and disgust the demands that my representative, Susan Bissinger, undergo re-training because she’s correctly and courageously voicing, not just my opinion, but the majority of this community? These tactics may be acceptable in China, not here.

Susan Bissinger is simply doing a job that I, as part of a majority, elected her to do. When her free speech is silenced, I too am silenced and the shire CEO John Baker and mayor Cr Steve Holland are not entitled to do that. If they believe they can censor my free speech they are the ones who need re-education.

I, the person who pays their income and many others, see their “virtue signalling”.

Take down that inappropriate Pride flag and address real issues like homelessness on the peninsula. It’s time to put normal decency and respect for us ratepayers back on your agenda.

I demand they stop silencing my representative, Susan Bissinger, and immediately cease any discrimination against her.

Ellen Bigelow, Blairgowrie

Restrictive libraries Public libraries are a fabulous community asset and should be made as welcoming as possible to as many people as possible.

So, I have been a little perturbed in the past couple of weeks by what I have observed.

First, there was the group of high school students who wanted to use some facilities.

However, none of them had a library card, and they could not sign up for a library card without on-the-spot parental permission.

So, the group trooped out the door - who knows if they will ever darken the door of a library again? Such a lost opportunity.

Given that teenagers as young as 14 can access their own Medicare card and attend health services such as Headspace autonomously, it seems very peculiar that a high schooler cannot

promote their own independence and access a simple library card.

If it were up to me, I would promote a policy of signing up all year seven students across the peninsula with their own library card.

Second, signs have popped up across library spaces proclaiming no photography is allowed.

In swim and dance and sports classes all over town there are signs reminding parents to only photograph “their own” children. However, an outright banning of photography is not enforced.

I cannot understand why our library service has gone down this path.

What if adults want to photograph each other?

Perhaps the film club wants a group selfie? Or a visiting disabled patron wants to pat the library dog and have a photograph to remember the happy occasion?

The library service has asked the public to comment on its future. My comment right now is that our library service is at risk of alienating the community and not embracing it, which is a sorry state of affairs.

Bianca Felix, Bittern

Sign remains On 23 October at about 2pm, I received a phone call from a Mornington Peninsula Shire Council officer who told me that the sign at the northern end of Sunnyside North beach which designates the limit of the clothing optional area had been reinstated (“No easy access to nude beach” The News 24/10/23).

I went for a walk along the beach and found the same broken off sign still lying on the rocks and no new sign to replace it. I have pictures taken today showing the same broken sign still lying on the rocks.

There has been previous discussion in relation to people being naked outside the limits of the clothing optional area at Sunnyside North.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council may be considered to be negligent by failing to maintain adequate signage to advise people of the start and end of the optional nude bathing area.

More than 12 weeks and still no sign of any effort to fix this problem. Totally unacceptable given the ease which with council has been able to erect multiple signs advising of the paid beach car parking “trial”.

Michael James, Frankston

Assess terminal plan I was shocked to read that the state government is even contemplating dredging and reclaiming land in Western Port’s Ramsar wetlands for the purpose of building and shipping infrastructure for a Bass Strait wind farm (“Time is tight for terminal comment” The News 18/10/23).

Because such a project clearly has the potential to significantly impact a “matter of national environmental significance”, it should undergo an assessment under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. However, this is little consolation. In handing down his findings in 2020, Professor Graeme Samuel found the EPBC Act to be “ineffective” and “not fit to address current or future environmental challenges.” He made 38 recommendations. Sadly, three years later, these are still to be enacted.

The Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek must ensure that there is a moratorium on the Bass Strait wind farm proposal until the strengthened Act has been passed by parliament.

Only then can we be confident that Australia’s new renewable energy projects will be assessed against appropriate standards.

Ray Peck, Hawthorn

Future support One of the main issues stalling advancement of action on climate change is that many of the vocal opponents in the media and politics won’t be around to suffer the consequences of inaction (presumably they are not too fussed about their children’s and grandchildren’s futures).

It is therefore encouraging to see the younger generation stepping up and taking action (“Sustainability starts early” The News 17/10/23).

People like Cassandra Jewson are the future and should be supported in their efforts to provide a cleaner and more sustainable future.

Ross Hudson, Mount Martha

Limits needed While the country is in the mood for belting up the disadvantaged (Voice for Indigenous), I thought I would get stuck into the hoard of motorised wheelchairs on Main Street, Mornington.

The size of some of these vehicles on footpaths is extraordinary.

No pedestrian is safe, and don’t get me started on the dog tails protruding onto the pavement at alfresco dining areas. The RSPCA should be involved.

There should be a Mornington Peninsula Shire limit for the maximum vehicle size on footpaths, or for the pilot of same.

While some need a mobility chair, the size is the issue, and the assumed right-of-way attitude.

People on cruise liners get by with a fold-up trike. A stable footpath should be easy compared to a moving deck.

Similarly true is the growing trend for some to use them as a shopping vehicle. You see them pull up outside their choice of shop or cafe and leap off to grab a table like an Olympian. No parking problems here; just leave it at the door on the footpath.

Size limitations and displayed disability stickers should be the minimum requirement for mobility aid use on shared footpaths.

John Dusting, Mornington

Selective racism During the “discussion” on the referendum I received this message from the No’ers: “As Indigenous peoples have been unable to police basic violence and sexual violence against their own women and children from when records started, they should be forced to adhere to basic human rights in their communities. This history proves that they are entirely unable to self-govern on the most basic level, as there is no improvement and possibly worsening.”

Then in The News: Women facing family violence or homelessness are waiting up tom 17 months for crisis accommodation as demand surges on the Mornington Peninsula. No mention of Indigenous.

I researched “is Australia racist”: One-third of all Australians experienced racism in the workplace and/or in educational facilities. More than two thirds of students from a non-Anglo background reported facing racism at school. A startling 76 per cent of Australians from a nonEuropean background have experienced racial discrimination based on their ethnicity. Which Australians face racism the most? Indigenous Australians [Liberal leader] Peter Dutton, politricalising child abuse, wants a royal commission into allegations of child sexual abuse in Indigenous communities, but apparently has no concerns about the white Australian population’s rampant child sex exploitation, child pornography rings, or child sex slaves. Been trying to put my finger on when I heard of Indigenous Australians participating in these endeavours.

Thirty to 40 per cent of child abuse victims are abused by a family member; 50 per cent are abused by someone outside of the family who they know and trust. Add the religious and institutional child abusers and that covers most of it.

Dutton backflips again on referendum and proposes: return to Aboriginal Protection Act, reinstate the Immigration Restriction Act, and deport all who do not meet the Immigration Restriction Act (non-whites).

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Lease is not title It was with a considerable amount of derision that I noted the 17 October issue of The News did not include the usual Letters column.

Frankly, I was not at all surprised given the overt favouring you displayed in the past few

weeks to contributors writing in support of the Yes vote.

The pleasing result was boosted for me when I read that the majority of Flinders electorate had voted No (“Peninsula in step with national No” The News 17/10/23).

Now that the dust has settled and some ugly truths have emerged, both past and present, maybe some of these soy latte drinkers might understand how their boat shed and bathing boxes on Mornington Peninsula Shire-controlled foreshores are safe for the moment. A licence to occupy is not a lease and these foreshores, along with Pt Nepean National Park, remain unalienated Crown land and exposed to native title claims.

Don’t laugh. It has already happened in Sydney and Redland Bay, near Brisbane, with residents now faced with a battle over something that they never contemplated in their most wild imaginations.

Barry J Rumpf, McCrae

Referendum education As a new post-referendum era dawns in our country’s relations with its First Peoples, I would like to thank Willum Warrain and Nairm Marr Djambana Aboriginal associations, the Bunurong Land Council, and other local First Nations organisations and businesses like Our Songlines, Cooee Cafe, Baluk Arts and Living Culture, for enriching my life. You have allowed me to learn from your ancient cultural knowledge, wisdom and values through your openness and generosity.

All Australians could have the same precious experience if only they would engage with opportunities like this.

Maureen Donelly, Mornington

Watch the Swiss Please, no more: the referendum is over. No more bitterness, no more calling other intellects stupid, racist or ignorant because they reasoned the matter contrary to your opinion.

The Australian people have spoken. This is democracy.

However, our democracy is just electing one democratic dictatorship or another (“Down of parties” Letters 24/10/23).

We elect a major party with all of its ideology, agendas and obligations. This is not true democracy.

Switzerland has a routine, simple referendum four fixed times a year, on matters of national or local significance, or policy, or law; mostly by postal vote timed over 10 days, with usually a number of yes or no questions to be answered each time. Just a routine part of life.

A citizen or group can bring forth a question by conducting a petition and getting the minimum required signatures. A question could also be asked to rescind a particular law.

Yes, I know things are different here, there would be terrible resistance to such a proposal by certain elements, and there are a lot of things that can’t be put directly to the people, but wouldn’t it be wonderful to have some semblance of Swiss style democracy as described, in Australia, directly encouraging governments to obey the will of the people? Federal, state and local. We could then truly say that we are a democracy.

Of course, we’d probably need a referendum to force the governments to introduce this democracy in the first place.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Explore local Great insights about the Mornington Peninsula’s coastal reserves from Somerville’s Stefan Borzecki (“’Pristine’ coast reserves ‘ignored’” The News 17/10/23). It is surprising how many of us are unaware of the beautiful reserves in our local areas. We tend to get in our cars and drive considerable distances to go to a well-known nature reserve, costing us time and petrol money, when often there is a local alternative right at our doorstep.

The pristine bush Borzecki describes, including the Tyabb beach, sounds like a great place to explore.

A little extra care from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to upkeep walking tracks might help lure more of us into unknown peninsula treasures.

For both our physical and mental health, a walk in nature is always as restorative as it is enjoyable.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Miss Lecky’s purse lost at Chelsea Compiled by Cameron McCullough MISS Lecky, lady clerk at Mr. D. Gellately’s Agency, Chelsea, was unlucky enough to lose a bag containing her week’s wages and a few shillings over, on Saturday last.

She was setting out from the office for Henley at the time. She discovered her loss before reaching the station.

The bag contained, in addition to the cash, a few visiting cards with the young lady’s name and address thereon.

Whoever found it will surely return it, on hearing that it is the young lady’s week’s wages, which is certainly a severe loss. Whoever retains it is a poor sport indeed. *** Sunday’s Influx of Visitors “One swallow does not make a summer” is an old and fairly correct adage, but one summer’s weekend emphasises the fact that Frankston is the “Queen of the Bayside”.

Last Sunday bears out this assertion, in-as-much as, for an ordinary day, the influx of visitors by rail and car was, we are reliably informed, a record one, this is not to be wondered at for the reason mentioned in a recent issue, “the absence of any semblance of hooliganism”.

This is due to the vigilance of our local authorities, and in itself creates a feeling of confidence and security, thereby, inducing the most desirable class of visitors to make Frankston their looked forward to weekend resort. *** LAST weekend a local resident lost a number of fowls through the depredations of some person or persons, at

present unknown.

He wishes those concerned to know that several hens as well as the fowlhouse were left behind, presumably through an oversight, and invites a further visit when something else will be doing in the “foul” line. *** Miss Gallus, of Frankston, is at present spending a holiday in Tasmania. *** Dr. C. Maxwell, who spent a week at Healesville recuperating after a sharp attack of influenza, returned to Frankston on Monday. *** Mr. S. Mentiplay, of Balnarring, had the misfortune to scald his foot rather badly a few days ago, and it will be some time before he will be able to resume his usual activities. *** Cr. and Mrs. Bradbury returned to Frankston from their motor trip to the Gippsland Lakes on Saturday last. *** The many friends of Mrs. Parris will be pleased to learn that she is rapidly recovering from the effects of her recent accident, and hopes to be shortly able to leave the hospital. *** Mr. D. P. Kane, who recently sustained a dislocated hip through slipping on the footpath, is doing as well as can be expected in the Alfred Hospital. *** Frankston Police Court Tuesday, 30th October. Before Messrs. C. Grant (chairman), J. Brown and Cr. Armstrong, J.sP.’ Four cases of parents neglecting

For not having his child vaccinated, Sydney Warburton was ordered to pay 10/-.

Margaret Isabella Gessner v. Alfred L. Earl.

In the above case, Alfred L. Earl was, on the information of Margaret Isabella Gessner, charged with: (1) Using insulting words; (2) that he did most violently and maliciously threaten and declare that he would “do for the complainant”.

Mr. Richards appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Utber was the solicitor for the defendant.

At the outset the complainant’s solicitor was in favor of the Court taking the two informations as one, but Mr. Utber not agreeing to this course, the complaint relating to the threatening language was proceeded with.

The complainant, in her evidence, stated that about a year ago differences had occurred regarding her pigstys and stables.

On October 16, about 5pm., in the presence of a man named Dawson, who was ploughing for her, Earl came out with a stick, which he threw at Dawson’s dog, and, picking up the stick, he threw it at her, at the same time using vile words (these were written and handed to the Bench) and also threatening to do for her.

She was, and still is, afraid of defendant.

Under cross–examination, plaintiff said that Senior–Constable Culhane and Dr. Merrilees inspected the pig-

geries and stables, and, acting on their instructions, she had had them properly cleaned.

The plaintiff denied that the case was brought on through spite, or that the words complained of were used to Dawson.

Plaintiff further said that defendant had been in the habit of using bad language for 12 months, and she had complained to the police about half-adozen times prior to the summons being issued.

Raymond Dawson, laborer, stated that on a certain day, while ploughing for complainant, he heard stones being thrown, and saw his dog come through the fence dividing plaintiff’s and defendant’s properties.

Defendant used filthy language, and then went away with his mother.

Mr. Utber (for defendant) objected to the whole of the evidence given by the previous witness, on the ground that no date was specified, but withdrew such objection later.

Dawson, under cross-examination, said he did not see defendant threaten Mrs. Gessner; nor did he hear any threatening words other than those which were handed to the Bench, although he was only 25 yards away.

Senior-Constable Culhane stated that in consequence of reports reaching him re the state of complainant’s pigstys, he inspected them and gave certain instructions which were carried out, and the pigstys were in a much better state.

Mrs. Gessner made one or two complaints re the defendant’s conduct.

This closed the case for the complainant.

13. Liqueur, ... Maria 15. Grind (teeth) together 16. Thawed 18. Seasoned 19. Collection of charts 21. Ancient Peruvian 22. Pursue closely

Alfred L. Earl, the defendant then gave evidence, in which he denied absolutely, using the words complained of. He said that on the date referred to he was working in his garden when he was told that a dog was running over his seed-boxes.

He chased the dog and heard Dawson say: “Don’t you hit that dog”, to which he replied: “I will hit you, too”.

Up to then he had not seen Mrs. Gessner, but at that moment heard her say: “I’ve got a witness”.

To this remark he said: “I don’t care a d—n if you’ve got a hundred witnesses”.

Mrs. Gessner was about 25 yards away. He had a stick but did not throw it, nor did he then or at any other time say: “I’ll do for you”.

Cross-examined, Earl said he never used the words written down, in his life.

Alice Emily Earl, mother of the defendant, gave corroborative evidence.

This closed the defendant’s case and without hesitation the Bench dismissed the case without costs.

The second complaint, that of using insulting words, was then heard. The evidence given was practically the same as that led in the previous case, with the exception that the main point seemed to be the distance from the public road to the point where the insulting words were alleged to have been used.

The distances varied from 70 to 110 yards. After deliberation, the Bench found the charge proved and inflicted a fine of 20/- without costs. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 31 Oct & 2 Nov 1923

Pines get better of Old Peninsula, Dromana clinch win looked in a good spot, but the middle order lost momentum.

Win for women’s football THE Mornington Peninsula Football Netball League will launch a women’s division in 2024.

The establishment of the MPFNL’s womens football league was announced last week. The league’s creation was approved by a majority of the MPFNL’s member clubs.

A statement from the MPFNL read that the creation of the new league would help football grow. “The MPFNL Board & AFL South East administration are hopeful this will see further growth of other MPFNL clubs participating in this competition in 2024 and beyond. The MPFNL has a proud football history dating back to 1908 through various competition iterations and in 2024 welcomes a new era of having women’s football encompassed in its football and netball league,” the statement read.

Currently, MPFNL clubs with women’s sides compete in the South Eastern Women competition. Their away games take them across the south-eastern suburbs of Victoria.

Although final participants in the women’s MPFNL have not been confirmed, it is widely expected that Bonbeach, Edithvale-Aspendale, Hastings, Karingal, Mornington, Pines, Pearcedale, Red Hill, Seaford, and Tyabb will field sides. Bass Coast Breakers, Warragul Industrials, Cerberus, and Frankston Football Club are also expected to cross over from the South Eastern Women’s competition as standalone MPFNL sides.

‘Pacz’ returns, O’Brien to Langy SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie RYAN Paczkowski has reunited with Mornington gaffer Adam Jamieson while Langwarrin has signed WAbased goal ace Joe O’Brien.

And both Frankston Pines and Somerville Eagles have settled on the men to head up their coaching staff for the upcoming season.

Paczkowski turned 34 this week and the ex-Bentleigh Greens, Oakleigh, Langwarrin and Preston player last played for the Seagulls in 2017.

He played for Preston Lions last season and could have stayed there but agreed terms for a second stint at Bentleigh before a change in his work circumstances forced him to head back to Dallas Brooks Park.

“I had a situation come up at work where I’ll have to travel interstate so I couldn’t really commit to Bentleigh,” he said.

“When that happened there was only one club I’d be going to and that was Mornington.”

Paczkowski is likely to play up front with Rory Currie and another recent returnee Sammy Orritt while David Stirton plays in behind them in an attacking midfield role.

And Paczkowski may prove just as important off the field as on.

“I’ve spoken to a few guys already and obviously we want to get as strong a team as we can.

“I’ve got a feeling that this might be ‘Jamo’s’ last crack at getting Mornington into the NPL. “He had offers to go elsewhere but he stayed and in the discussions I’ve had with him I said that he needs to do this (win promotion) for himself and I want to help him to do it.

“From what I’ve seen they’re only a couple of players away from going up.

“With me and Sammy there and another one or two I think we can have the strongest team in the league if things go our way.”

Paczkowski also alerted Mornington to the prospect of Chris Caponi joining the coaching staff.

“Chris was on Preston’s coaching staff and now stays at Somerville.

“He’s a brilliant tactician so if Mornington can get someone of his calibre to work with (senior assistant) Craig Lewis and ‘Jamo’ they’ll be unstoppable.”

O’Brien, 26, arrives at Lawton Park with a record as a proven goalscorer.

to Australia and he started playing with Mandurah City as a junior.

He made his senior debut when he was 16 and has scored over 100 goals for the club.

“It’s a special club to me and I’ve won a State League title, two Night Series and a Top Four Cup with them,” O’Brien said.

He was league Golden Boot winner last year and was recommended by former Langy import and ex-Scottish professional John Baird who is player-coach of Mandurah City.

“I get on well with ‘Bairdie’ and he told me that Langwarrin is a very British-based club with a really closeknit group of lads and what you see is what you get.

“They are really honest with you and they play a good brand of football.

“He said the culture is very similar to what we have at my current club so I can’t wait to get to Melbourne and start pre-season.”

O’Brien is due to arrive on Tuesday 14 November and his accommodation and employment have been arranged.

New Langwarrin coach Jamie Skelly has high expectations of what O’Brien can bring to the NPL2 club’s squad.

“We’re looking forward to getting Joe over here,” Skelly said.

“He has a great scoring record at Mandurah and his qualities will complement what we already have in our squad.”

In local coaching news Mark Larner is the new boss of State 4 outfit Somerville Eagles while Frankston Pines as expected appointed former Peninsula Strikers coach Donn Delaney as head coach.

Larner’s appointment leaves a coaching vacancy at State 5 club Mount Martha where he took over as senior coach in late 2022 but he has had a strong Somerville connection for some time.

“I’ve coached juniors there for a few years now and I know a lot of the senior guys from my days at Mount Martha and Seaford,” he said.

“I’ve been interested in coaching the seniors at Somerville for a few years but the timing hasn’t been right and other coaches have been ahead of me.

“But when we sat down this year and had a chat it just felt right and to be honest I didn’t feel as much of a connection with Mount Martha as I did with Somerville.

“I was only 50-50 about staying at Mount Martha anyway so when this opportunity came up everything just fell into place.”

Larner has assembled his support staff and has spoken to some senior players.

He intends holding a players’ meeting in coming weeks “to set the scene for the upcoming season” but he already has a firm idea of what type of player he’d like to bring to the club.

“Looking at them last season they were very close to pushing for one of

the promotion spots so I think there’s only small tweaks that need to be made.

“What attracts me to this playing group is the culture – they’d run through brick walls for each other and that never-say-die attitude appeals to me.

“There may only be two or three that need to be added but they need to be that young and hungry type of player and we need to follow what’s been a successful recipe and not bring in players that could upset the group.

“I haven’t sat down with the coaching staff to identify where the gaps are but I’ll do that then probably ramp up conversations with prospective new players towards December when pre-season starts.”

For Delaney it’s a return to coaching after suddenly stepping down from his role at Centenary Park one game into the 2023 season.

He coached Strikers’ seniors in 2022 and boasts a 55 per cent win percentage ranking him as the third most successful coach in the club’s history behind George Hughes and Russell Black.

“I’m delighted to be back coaching,” he said.

“Frankston Pines have been very welcoming and very early on in conversations with Lee (Davies, club president) and the committee I was optimistic as we share the same values.

“I’m looking forward to working with everyone and helping to develop

every player at the club from juniors to seniors.”

Former Pines senior coach Trevor Johnston has been appointed as Delaney’s assistant.

“With Trevor’s help I believe we can create something great that players will want to be part of and spectators will love watching,” Delaney added.

“I’m all about style of play and believe that it is a coach’s role to set the tone and we’ll create a professional environment where players, coaches and committee are all aligned.”

Delaney aims to “lock in” a senior squad as early as possible and is likely to draw on a number of players he knows from his time as a coach in junior NPL ranks.

“My interests are always in helping players to reach their potential and if players commit to us and our vision then we will commit to them.”

In other coaching news former Langwarrin senior coach Scott Miller last week was appointed head coach of NPL outfit Altona Magic.

The Macedonian-backed club made the announcement via its Facebook page.

“Scott has held a number of highprofile roles including assistant coach to Ange Postecoglou with the Australian national team, senior roles under Roy Hodgson and Mark Hughes at Fulham in the English Premier League, as well as being appointed as head coach at Newcastle Jets in the A-League,” the club’s announcement read.

“Scott holds both a UEFA A and AFC Pro Licence while also bringing a wealth of experience in sports science and sports psychology to Paisley Park.”

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers has hired Steve Kenya as goalkeeping coach.

Kenya was at Langwarrin last season and has also worked at Casey Comets.
