Careers helped along by cows WOODLEIGH School students have won their section in the Cows Create Careers program, run across the Gippsland region in terms 2 and 3.

Calling their team Udder Chaos, the students were judged the winning senior school in the program and received a $500 prize for their school.

Udder Chaos also won the winning senior team prize for the region.

An online presentation and awards day was held recently when prizes were presented to schools and students.

The project aims to increase awareness of careers in the dairy industry in a hands-on way, with students caring for a pair of three-week-old calves at their school.

Over three-weeks schools are provided with a dairy industry curriculum. A dairy farmer teaches the students how to care for the calves, while an industry advocate visits the schools to discuss student career pathways in the dairy industry.

Throughout the project students form teams to complete assessments based on the dairy industry.

Storm clean-up to last months Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ARBORISTS estimate it will take another two months to finish inspecting and assessing the health of trees damaged on the Mornington Peninsula in last month’s storms.

Mornington Peninsula Shire says it is still responding to “immediate and high-risk works” a month after that windy Friday 29 October.

It received more than 2500 requests for assistance involving fallen or damaged trees and tree debris. To cope with the demand, up to 12 teams, including sub-contractors, have been working seven days a week inspecting and removing trees and debris from roads, driveways, parks and reserves, sporting fields, community houses, pre-schools and camping grounds.

Excavators and tip trucks, and elevated work platforms up to 28 metres high, are being used.

Teams of specialist climbers use rope to tie and cut branches where mechanical equipment can’t be used.

An average of 200 cubic metres of mulch each day is being collected, which would fill a 25-metre swimming pool every second day.

General works at council-owned properties are reportedly being scheduled on a risk priority basis so the most-essential work is done soonest.

Crews are driving rural roads to report debris on the side of the road that

needs clearing. This debris and works in parks and reserves will be attended to as soon as the high-risk works are finished.

“The scale of the clean up after the storm is massive, and we are asking our residents to be patient as we work through the hundreds of requests for tree and property inspections,” the mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said.

“Our number one priority will always be the safety of the community and our staff.

“I know many people have pitched in to help neighbours and local businesses with the recovery effort. I’m so proud of our community for their generosity, spirit and resilience.”

Foreshore campgrounds at Sorrento and Rye were due to open last weekend after tree inspections and works An update on relief and recovery efforts will provided during an online session 5.30-7pm Thursday 2 December. Details: mornpen.vic.gov.au/ stormrelief

Liberal candidates in line up for two seats Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Liberal Party will next week choose its candidates for November 2022 state election for the seats of Hastings and Mornington.

David Morris, who has safely held Mornington since November 2006, is being challenged by Chris Crewther, who lost the federal seat of Dunkley to Labor’s Peta Murphy in 2019.

Dunkley, which Mr Crewther lost after one term, had previously been held until 2016 for 20 years by Liberal Bruce Billson.

In July, Mr Crewther failed to get his party’s endorsement for Dunkley in next year’s federal election and in September lost to Sarah Henderson in a bid to fill the Senate seat left vacant by the resignation of Mitch Fifield.

Party members meet on Thursday 9 December to choose between Mr Morris and Mr Crewther.

In Hastings, there is also a two-way contest to fill the vacancy being left by retiring MP Neale Burgess.

Mr Burgess publicly announced his intention not to seek re-election next year on Thursday 11 November (“Burgess calls time after 16 years” The News 16/11/21).

Although nominations for his seat closed the following day, party insiders say his intention to not stand was “known for some weeks”.

The two Liberals seeking to take his place as the MP for Hastings are Julie Morris and Briony Hutton.

Ms Morris, a sergeant with Victoria Police, is a former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor and Ms Hutton is the executive officer of the lobby group Committee for Mornington Peninsula.

The party meets to choose its Hastings candidate next Thursday (9 December).

The Labor Party has yet to announce candidates for Mornington or Hastings, although Nepean Labor MP Chris Brayne said they would be named on Monday 15 November.

Changes to the electoral boundaries and voting patterns based on the previous state election give Labor a small winning margin in Hastings and Nepean, while Liberal-held Mornington remains unchanged (“Labor ‘wins’ with boundary changes” The News 5/7/21).

On Saturday 13 November (two days after Mr Burgess announced he would not be standing) Mr Brayne contacted The News to say that Ms Hutton should resign from the Committee for Mornington Peninsula because she wanted to be the Liberal Party’s candidate for Hastings. He repeated his call last week, saying Ms Hutton should step down from her position with the lobby group because of claims on Facebook and its website to be an independent organisation.

Although Mr Brayne did not leave his job after being chosen as Labor’s

candidate for Nepean, he says Ms Hutton’s position is different as the committee “seeks to get money from [government] grants”.

Comparisons were not applicable “as my jobs were in the private, commercial sector”, he said.

Mr Brayne said Ms Hutton’s Liberal Party membership and desire to be an MP “shows they’re [the committee] not independent”.

“Briony’s their executive officer, how is that independent? It’s fine for her to be standing, but she shouldn’t be executive officer of the Committee for Mornington Peninsula.”

The Committee for Mornington Peninsula’s president, Shannon Smit, said Ms Hutton had been on leave without pay since 4 November, “to pursue an opportunity to become a political candidate”.

“Her leave arrangements remain in place to avoid any potential conflict of interest, given the apolitical nature of the CfMP,” Ms Smit said.

Ms Hutton has previously worked for Flinders MP Greg Hunt as an electorate officer and as an administrative officer in his capacity as health minister in Canberra.

“Briony also works part-time as a business development executive at a local nursing agency, and as a musician in her own small business where she sings at weddings and venues across the peninsula,” the committee’s website states.

Brush with fame: Painter Wina Jie with her mural at the Dromana Community Bank. Picture: Yanni

Art homage to local heroes A MURAL at Dromana marks the 20th anniversary of the Rye group of community banks. Rye was the first of the banks, followed by Dromana and then Rosebud, with the Rosebud business centre added more recently.

Senior manager at Dromana, Fiona Somjee, arranged for artist Wina Jie to create the mural which depicts peninsula people and the banks’ yearly contribution to sporting groups, CFAs, surf lifesaving clubs, and arts groups.

Included in the mural are Ava Gardner and Gregory Peck on the Dromana Drive-In cinema screen from the film On the Beach. The central figure was inspired by Kanoula, a mother of four who moved to the peninsula to live a life closely connected to nature and establish a business making natural

products with ingredients from her garden. Jie said Kanoula, like many others, contributes to the community by becoming “everyday heroes” to their children. A bank customer being greeted works at a nearby pizzeria and bar while staff from the branch are depicted in a supermarket’s deli section.

“I enjoyed painting this mini scene and paid homage to the awesome array of gourmet food available,” Jie said. “It’s a highlight of the Dromana Community Hub.” Also in the mural are cyclist Rosie and Dromana CFA Captain Timothy Desmond with a volunteer in the driver’s seat of a tanker. A lifeguard stands on his platform.

Drivers dig deep over pothole Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au DRIVERS out of pocket after their cars’ tyres and rims were damaged by a “deep, sharp” pothole on Graydens Road are determined that Mornington Peninsula Shire Council should pay their repair bills.

But the shire is standing firm, saying claims under section 110 of the Roads Management Act 2004 (Vic), release road authorities, such as councils, from paying the first $1460 of damage thereby making the claims invalid.

One of the victims, Annelie Burford, of Balnarring, was driving along Graydens Road, between Coolart and Frankston-Flinders Road, 5.15pm, Monday 15 November, when she hit the pothole and was forced off the road.

“Three other people with similar damage were there just at that time alone,” she said, adding that four cars were towed away for repairs.

“A truck driver was waiting for someone to bring him a spare tyre as it is not something he could do himself. An elderly lady was waiting for the RACV, who could not help with her puncture because she ended up in the ditch and had to be towed, and a mother and daughter who were getting towed.”

Seven drivers, with tyre and rim damage totalling more than $3500, later got together on the Hastings Vic Community Noticeboard. Their fury only increased when told by the shire that the excess on claims was $1460, meaning they could only claim repairs over that amount. As all the individual claims was less than that, they were on their own.

That struck the pothole’s victims as wrong.

“Why should we be out of pocket? Apart from the truck driver, all of our repairs had to come out of our own pockets,” Ms Burford said.

“It wasn’t our fault, so why should we have to claim on our insurance?

“We all hit the same pothole within three hours – it was the same event. Some have damage bills of over $1000.

“The shire should pay.”

Ms Burford has asked the shire how long staff had known of the pothole. “There was a warning sign about 40 metres back and yellow paint around the hole but it’s an 80kph zone and, once you see the sign you are on top of it,” she said.

“The yellow paint washes away in the rain.”

A shire maintenance team reportedly repaired the section of Graydens Road two days later.

“The question is, what took them so long?” Ms Burford said. “I want to see the records of when the damage was first noted, when it was marked with yellow paint, when warning signs were erected - none were visible - and what was the planned day of repair?

“Apparently, cars were damaged on the Sunday [the day before]: Was the council notified of that?

It would be great to get answers.

“I understand that with the wind and rains we have had there might be delays, but then proper warning signs should have been erected and the speed lowered.

“As always, it is a reactive approach, somebody has to be hurt or killed before any action is taken.”

Ms Burford said she would contact a lawyer to discuss the claim. “It’s negligence that something like this can get so big.”

The shire’s infrastructure services manager Tom Haines-Sutherland said he could not comment on specific legal matters, but confirmed the shire had “not received any claims for damage caused by potholes on Graydens Road”.

“Graydens Road is inspected weekly, with any defects, such as potholes, repaired within 24 hours,” he said.

Campaign against family violence Picture: Yanni

Runners, walkers back on their toes A SHINY, breezy, brisk Saturday morning greeted more than 100 people on Rosebud foreshore for restart of Rosebud park run after a 19-week hiatus due to Covid lockdowns and restrictions.

It was a welcome relief for participants and volunteer organisers forced to sit on their thumbs and wait for Victoria to reach 90 per cent double-dose vaccination before being permitted to resume.

At Hastings, where the first peninsula park run started in 2014, almost 90 people met near the Anzac memorial and took to 5km of foreshore reserve paths. The two events were run by 26 volunteers. The global phenomenon of park run started in England 17 years ago and is now held in 20 countries on six continents including more than 400 events in Australia where it began in 2011.

At Rosebud on Saturday, event director Stephen van Nooten said he was pleased with the turnout and expected more on coming Saturdays as people found out about the restart. “It’s a social event for many people, who make friends for life.

“It’s an important activity for people of all fitness levels,” he said of the weekly 5km event. “It’s an intergenerational activity with young children first coming in prams. Then they walk with their parents and grandparents. It doesn’t take long for the children to want to run. It is wonderful to watch their enthusiasm, development and the way they engage with others.”

Park runs are for runners – who are timed by volunteers over the 5km course – as well as joggers and walkers who attend just to keep or stay fit. Dogs are allowed on leads and the two peninsula courses are suitable for prams and strollers. It is free, held every Saturday morning and open to everyone.

Register at: www.parkrun.com.au/register/ • A park run starts next January at Frankston Nature Conservation Reserve, Jeremy Way, Frankston South, the former Frankston Reservoir now managed by Frankston Council.

A SENSE of isolation, being “too close” to a partner for days on end, and the stress caused by lockdowns, have led to an increase in family violence.

Mornington Peninsula Shire says 2158 family violence incidents in the municipality were reported to the police last financial year, with “many more incidents going unreported”.

“Family violence happens to women of all ages and it is never okay,” the mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said.

“We all have a responsibility to stand up to unacceptable behaviour and treat those around us with respect.”

Cr Marsh was speaking in support of the global campaign 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, which started on 25 November, the international day for the Elimination of Violence against

Women and ends 10 December.

The campaign is aimed at raising awareness about increasing gender equality and reducing violence against women and their children. (“Seniors walk to show respect” The News 23/11/21).

It stresses that everyone has the right to live safely and free from abuse and harm and that gender or ageing does not diminish human rights.

Support is available at The Orange Door 1800 319 353 for those experiencing violence within a marriage or partnership. Call 1800 Respect (1800 737 732) to speak to a trained counsellor.

Green waste weekend MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will hold a no charge green waste weekend 3-5 December.

However, due to extensive tree damage caused by the storm on 29 October those planning to tip waste are warned to expect delays.

This follows the November no charge green waste weekend which was the second biggest ever in terms of volume received.

About 6410 cubic metres of green waste was dumped in 4260 visits.

Green waste includes all types of garden waste and untreated timber.

Mornington transfer station will accept a maximum of three cubic metres of green waste per trip.

Transfer stations are at Truemans Road, Rye, McKirdys Road, Tyabb, and Watt Road, Mornington. Opening hours during no charge green waste weekends are Friday 8am-4pm and Saturday and Sunday 8am5pm.

Character wins for top drink Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au IT traces its origins to a mistaken identity and is acknowledged by its maker as being “quite a challenging style”, but there is no doubting the success of Crittenden Estate’s 2016 Cri de Coeur Savagnin.

The wine produced by the Dromanabased estate has been named Australia's Best Overall Drink in the 2021 Drink Easy Awards.

Unlike most wine awards, the annual Drink Easy competition is open to all beverages, including spirits and nonalcoholic.

The early “mistake” made by today’s savagnin producers dates back to several years before 2009, when they thought they were growing and harvesting Spanish albarino grapes.

Doubts about the grape were raised in 2008 by a French expert visiting Australia. Subsequent DNA testing showed the grapes to be savagnin sourced from Spanish cuttings.

“It was a fortuitous mistake,” winemaker Rollo Crittenden (right) said.

“We thought we were planting a Spanish variety, but there had been a mix-up when they were brought into Australia.”

Once accurately identified, the savagnin being grown in the Crittenden family’s home vineyard was processed in the “Jura style”, an area in France between Burgundy and Switzerland planted with about 500 hectares of the savagnin.

Mr Crittenden said the resulting yellow wine was kept in barrels for four to six years where it developed a covering of flor, or a film of yeast, similar to sherry.

“It adds a nutty taste and all sorts of interesting characters,” he said.

A DIAGRAM on the wall helps explain the name Cri de Coeur as being a passionate cry from the heart or, in Rollo Crittenden’s case, making a “challenging” style of wine.

The taste could be “challenging to the uninitiated” and the wine had developed an almost cult following.

Because of its unusual (for wine) taste, Crittenden Estate’s Cri de Coeur Savagnin is not sold online “as we prefer customers to taste it first before buying”, Mr Crittenden said. Selling the $85 a bottle savagnin online could be problematic without a personal taste test.

However, he believes it was this different taste that saw it win the Drink Easy award.

The judges were industry professionals who understood and appreciated the complex wine’s style and many characters.

Wine writer and one of the Drink Easy judges, Nick Ryan described Crittenden’s winning entry as “a brilliant, oxidatively handled savignin”

(The Weekend Australian’s wine issue 20-21/11/21).

“We knew we were in the running, having been announced as a finalist for the category best wine [it was named third best wine], but to win overall best drink was quite a shock,” Mr Crittenden said.

“What makes this award even more humbling is the fact that the competition spans all beverage genres – from non-alcoholic through to spirits and everything in between.

"The team at Crittenden would like to thank everyone who has supported us on this crazy journey in producing such a challenging and obscure wine style and, in particular, to acknowledge the Drink Easy team for championing emerging drinks of all makes and models which may not have a home in conventional circles.”

Linking line draws crowds to Red Hill IT may seem hard to imagine now, but 100 years ago on Thursday 2 December crowds gathered at Red Hill to welcome the arrival of dignitarypacked passenger train.

After the official ceremony, the dignitaries were looked after in newlybuilt cool stores near the station and picnics were held nearby by the crowd of an estimated 1000 people.

The train eventually pulled out to take the passengers back to Melbourne along the recently-completed tracks from Bittern to Red Hill, but the celebrations by the public continued into the night.

The reign of the train as a major means of getting to and from Red Hill was relatively short lived, with the line closing on 1 July 1953.

However, although never financially viable, the train had served its purpose and is credited with “opening up” the district.

After initially running on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and going through to Melbourne on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays the train was down to a once-a-week service by the time it closed.

Ilma Hackett, of Balnarring and District Historical Society, said the train had carried passengers and goods.

“Fruits, vegetables, timber, firewood, and livestock left for Melbourne while fertiliser, bran, pollard, chaff, cement and construction materials came to stations along the route,” she said.

“Each station became a focus point

for the communities along the line and nearby land was subdivided in anticipation of growth.”

Ms Hackett said crowds had been arriving all morning to greet that first train at 11.45 on 2 December 1921.

“People of the district, especially the fruit growers, had been pushing for the line ever since rail had linked Frankston with Stony Point back in 1889. They saw the railway as a quick and reliable means of getting their pro-

duce to Melbourne markets,” she said.

The Red Hill line, through Balnarring and Merricks was given the goahead in 1915, with land being bought in 1919 and the “turning of the first sod” by the Railways Minister Samuel Barnes at Balnarring in July 1920.

“Construction between Bittern and Merricks was fairly straightforward as the land is relatively level, but Red Hill sits at 192.5 metres above sea level, a short and steep climb from

Merricks at 41.5 metres,” Ms Hackett said. “Five curves were needed in the last mile and the line gradient was 1 in 30. Six horse teams were called in for the final section, to assist the 60 workers contracted to build the line.”

The first train was behind schedule, but that did not dampen the spirits of the cheering crowd whose members had come by “motors, drays, buggies and jinkers” or on foot.

“One train carriage brought the dig-

nitaries, another carried the ordinary passengers and tourists who paid a special excursion fare for the day,” Ms Hackett said.

Mr Barnes cut a ribbon and speeches were made before the official party moved indoors for lunch and more speeches. The picnickers were entertained by the naval band and the train made a special run to Merricks and back for the children.

There’s a new store in town!

BALNARRING resident, Daniel Oldfield, is on a mission to bring convenient and cost effective bike, scooter and skateboard shopping, maintenance, accessories and apparel to the Western Port region.

The family-owned operation is located at 89 High Street, Hastings (between Westernport Travel and Central Cottage Chinese restaurant).

Daniel’s passion for cycling and experience in mechanics and engineering have led Westernport Bicycle Centre to become well known in the region for quality repairs and technical advice.

an ever-growing selection of road, gravel, MTB, eBikes, BMX, hybrids and youth bikes as well as scooters, skateboards, helmets, spare parts and accessories.

A range of Made-in-Melbourne cycling apparel is available alongside Peninsula owned, Australian Made, biodegradable bike care products.

Westernport Bicycle Centre has a strong focus on community, with weekly social rides rolling out every Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon (weather dependent).

Girl rescued in pier drama A TEENAGE girl was assisted by police, paramedics, Hastings SES and Mornington FRV crews after falling onto rocks at Mornington pier on Saturday night, 27 November.

The girl is believed to have been fishing with her carer when she fell about two metres and injured her knee and ankle, telling rescuers she “couldn’t move”.

The crews rushed to the scene about 10pm

Safety found in brothers’ arms

concerned a rising tide may hamper rescue efforts. They spent more than an hour treating the girl on the rocks while others waited above to lift her up over the wall and into a waiting ambulance. She was taken to Frankston Hospital with lower leg injuries and on Monday was in a stable condition.

TWO Mount Eliza brothers – both members of Portsea Life Saving Club – have been recognised for their efforts in saving three young women from dangerous seas at Canadian Bay. Their Everyday Lifesaver Award recognises “outstanding bystander rescues undertaken in a safe manner that doesn’t put the rescuer at risk”.

In September last year, Oscar and Ryan Peddle were surfing a “bay wave” in 60-70kph winds and four-foot waves. The chaotic conditions were so extreme that Ryan said afterwards he had “never seen Canadian Bay like that before”.

Hearing a woman’s frantic calls, the boys paddled their boards to help three young women swept off a ramp and caught in a rip. The trio had panicked, with one having an asthma attack.

Ryan managed to support all three on his surfboard until Oscar and another surfer arrived to help. Taking a girl each, they paddled to shore.

“When I saw the girls in distress, I knew I had to think on my feet and move quickly,” Ryan said. “One of the girls was having an asthma attack; it was lucky I could get them onto my board and wait until Oscar and another rescuer arrived.”

In recognition of their bravery without endangering themselves or others, LSV general manager lifesaving services Liam Krige presented Oscar and Ryan with the Everyday Lifesaver award at the scene of the rescue.

“I have no doubt that if not for the immediate acts of courage and quick thinking by the two young men, at least one of the girls could have drowned that day,” he said. “Oscar and Ryan Peddle are prime examples of the importance of lifesaving patrol experience as an essential emergency service and value of this skill set in saving lives.”

A MID CENTURY SUMMER NIGHTS DREAM ANOTHER spectacular example of the innovative architecture that the renowned firm of Chancellor & Patrick were known for has presented itself for sale in this prized pocket of Frankston South. Over the decades, each custodian of the property has preserved and maintained the architectural integrity of the home whilst also incorporating the necessary updates of the times to keep it fresh and appealing.

The most recent renovation focuses on the spectacular kitchen boasting

the most eye-catching geometric cube splashback to a European stainless-steel oven. There is also a dishwasher fitted into the excellent prep bench which houses plenty of storage options. A stone island bench is coupled with a handsome timber bench and throughout the space are polished aggregate concrete floors. A considered use of timber anchors the living room which still retains many original elements including wall panelling with built-in shelving and period lighting. The vast space has a fantastic outlook through a series of floor to ceiling glass doors that open to the paved alfresco terrace. The north wing

comprises two bathrooms shared between three bedrooms of which, the larger main bedroom has the best aspect and also comes with a wall of built-ins. The sprawling 1530 square metre block has been well-landscaped with retaining walls of solid rock and swathes of lush lawn beside a double lock up brick garage. This glamorous home is a dazzling reminder of the enduring themes of mid-century design and is a splendid opportunity to enhance a true landmark property for the enjoyment of the next generation.n

The penultimate episode of season two of this political drama unfurls tonight, bolstered by excellent performances from its stars Deborah Mailman (left), Rachel Griffiths and William McInnes. At a short and sharp six episodes long, its perhaps enough time for viewers to marinate in the absurdity of politics. This week, the identity of Alex’s (Mailman) troll is finally uncovered.

Of all the travel destinations in the world, the high-roller gambling mecca has the razzle dazzle and high-end hotel design to attract all sorts of travellers. Tonight, lucky presenters Simon Calder (right) and Caroline Frost explore Las Vegas’ Bellagio, an opulent hotel inspired not by the Mojave Desert, but the villages of Europe.

GLADIATOR

NINE, 7.30pm

Director Ridley Scott (The Martian) revitalises the sword and sandal epic, recreating ancient Rome to stunning effect. Russell Crowe (above) is magnificent as Maximus, the Roman general who falls out of favour with Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), who seizes power by murdering his emperor father (Richard Harris). Maximus finds himself as part of the gladiator circus – weapon-wielding brutes battling to the death – and takes the opportunity to avenge tragic personal loss by climbing the ranks to become the Colosseum’s star attraction.

From comic books to video games to Sylvester Stallone’s 1995 incarnation, the grimacing, helmeted cop Judge Dredd has been ruthlessly cleaning up the rough end of town with no fear of firing his weapon.

In this latest foray into the wild streets of Mega City One, Dredd (Karl Urban) is assigned rookie “mutant” and psychic Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) who joins him on a mission to bring down the gang led

by Ma-Ma (Lena Heady) before their drug infiltrates all corners of the downtrodden city.

Dredd is brutal but with its sensational stunts, tons of tension and a body count you’ll soon lose track of, it’s exactly what you’d expect.

Shire team rejects amputee’s plea for parking permit Apparently Mornington Peninsula Shire Council can perform miracles by replacing amputated arms.

I’m a recent whole arm amputee of five weeks ago and made application through my doctor for a disabled parking label. The shire refused to issue me with a permit.

It seems that my disability disappears because I am still mobile. According to the shire “An impairment must be assessed as likely to impact my mobility for at least six months in order to be eligible for a permit.

I wonder if any member of the shire’s accessible parking permit team has ever tried to manoeuvre a shopping trolley through a car park or tried to get in or out of a car in a normal car park with one arm?

But, as one caring member of the permit team pointed out, I should be grateful of still having both my legs so that I still have my mobility.

John Cain, McCrae

Unify from the top If the new mayor [Cr Anthony Marsh] wants unity within Mornington Peninsula Shire Council maybe he should start by tidying up his performance (“New mayor to seek council unity” The News 23/11/21).

How about a pledge not to have secret meetings to the exclusion of some councillors; a promise not to vote as a factional bloc; and consideration to not dump a century old tradition supported by more than half the peninsula’s residents of a prayer at the start of meetings?

If a prayer is good enough for state and federal parliaments, it is probably good enough for us.

Unity comes from the top. The performance of the new mayor in his first year suggests he was a major contributor to the lack of unity.

Cr Marsh, you have one job, to represent the interests of the shire, not represent your own interests.

Good luck to mayor It is interesting that our new mayor Cr Anthony Marsh wants Mornington Peninsula Shire Council unity as, in following the various articles in The News of recent times in which Cr Marsh is often mentioned, I have formed the opinion that he is one of the councillors contributing to this disunity (“New mayor to seek council unity” The News 23/11/21).

Cr Marsh’s first urgent motion before his feet had hit the floor was to call for the removal of the council prayer at council meetings, a step divisive in itself.

He nominated himself to join the Bass Park

Trust - a position held by Cr David Gill - hardly a move to create friendly relations with a fellow councillor.

Tensions were exposed at a council meeting when Cr Marsh’s qualifications were questioned when he was nominated “champion for small business”. Cr Marsh said it was unfortunate that tensions were targeted at him and that he didn’t get what the problem was.

Cr Marsh was one of the six councillors joining forces to pass an amendment that apparently conferred unprecedented power on the CEO and blindsided the other five councillors in this decision making.

It is evident that a group has already been formed that outnumbers and out votes the other five.

Cr Marsh says as mayor he will try to unify the council more so than it had been over the past 12 months and that he does not see his role as pushing his own views but as a leader of a team.

Good luck. I think he will have an uphill battle to pour oil on troubled waters when so much damage has already been done and as many residents have become disenchanted in the process.

Beverley Treloar, Mornington

Change mayoral system Sorry, I couldn’t stomach the front page mug shot of Cr Anthony Marsh, who I see as being previously missing in action from councillor duties in Briars Ward, ex-RAAF officer and trainee astronaut, judging by his claim to hold an aerospace engineering degree with a debatable vocational value here in a minnow-sized Australian space industry.

If he is so academically qualified, why isn’t he holding a permanent professional highly paid salaried government job if you discount the $100,000 a year remuneration plus benefits, he is going to get given by us ratepayers for serving local government?

This is the man who had nothing better than to obfuscate and deviate from the norm when prattling that, as a millennial, he couldn’t spiritually tune into a simple universal message of peace and cooperation with the council prayer.

As an active community unpaid person, I can’t recall any positive reports into good works by this councillor either in Briars Ward, where he’s meant to operate, mediate and consult with constituents, or in wider council activities.

Indeed, he created disunity by applying for posts that were controversial and appeared designed to upset more experienced councillors.

Why do we ratepayers, who stand apart from this insidious process of choosing a mayor, tolerate it when, on occasions, the candidate is neither experienced nor earning respect by visible

and successful wider community participation?

We need a better system of rewarding deserving and community worthwhile citizens similar to the American system where outstanding noncouncil candidates can stand for office.

As for this mayor calling for unifying the council, I am not holding my breath.

Ian Morrison, convenor Mount Eliza Community Alliance

Potholes return I live in Safety Beach and regularly use the section of Marine Drive between Mason Avenue and the Nepean Highway corner. Not a week goes by without large potholes appearing on this road. I complained to Mornington Peninsula Shire but was informed this road is the responsibility of VicRoads.

Practically every week a team of six to 10 contractors with their trucks arrive to patch up the holes. Within a week they are just as bad or worse than before the repair.

What qualifications does this company or its workers have in road maintenance? It must be costing taxpayers an enormous amount to have this work done every week.

Jeff Becker, Safety Beach

Schoolies downside Who planned these schoolies’ events for Rye (“Schoolies tickets to Rye celebrations” The News 23/11/21)? I’m guessing they don’t live anywhere near the dumping ground, also known as the Rye foreshore. Music till 11pm Saturday, 10pm Sunday. And the hours after 11pm and 10pm, usually until 5am?

Never mind we residents. So much for sharing and caring.

It’s no wonder we look on our non-Rye resident councillors with disgust. “Organised safe and fun events for schoolies” or “life long memories in a safe environment”?

The poor darlings have had it so tough. Pop along sometime, around 2am, join in the fun, see the cars revving up and down Campbell Lane, the fireworks, the unforgotten screamers, the wonderful “duff duff” music, and leftover waste from the upturned blue bins. Cliff Ellen, Rye

Power shortcomings Electricity production has very little to do with the distribution network (“Expensive underground” Letters 23/11/21). Ever since the privatisation of both to a whole host of different carpetbaggers, the profit of private companies seems to be more important than the safety of our citizens. How many people is the community prepared to sacrifice to future bushfires caused by above ground and badly maintained transmission lines?

The federal government’s decades long fight against any meaningful action on Australia’s move to clean energy is the reason we’re still burning coal for energy. I have put some solar power on my roof to lower my carbon foot print.

Some years ago, my brother visited from Austria and was perplexed by our third world electricity infrastructure.

Fears for Arthurs Seat As a resident on the Mornington Peninsula, I’m concerned with the impact a quarry proposed by The Ross Trust will have on iconic Arthurs Seat Hill. The monstrous quarry could see 93 acres of bushland and native habitat bulldozed to open a 190 metre pit, making a hole on the hill the size of Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens. We’ll lose majestic gums, giant ferns, banksia trees and rare native plant species, Imagine the daily blasting noise, dust pollution and extra trucks on our roads.

The wildlife will become collateral damage if these 70-100 year old trees come tumbling down to make way for this quarry. Many will die, be frightened, have their habitat destroyed and some will wander dangerously onto the road. The survivors will need to find alternative water supplies because Sheepwash Creek will be destroyed. Our birdlife, wallabies, kangaroos and koalas don’t stand a chance.

If this were proposed in other popular tourism areas like the Yarra Valley or Dandenong Ranges, I strongly doubt it would go ahead.

Next time you visit the area and you notice hundreds of signs on local houses, cars and on business windows saying Save Arthurs Seat, this is what it’s all about.

Tanina Osborne, Arthurs Seat

Unfulfilled promise With the upcoming federal election looming, I must assume our MP for Flinders Greg Hunt, will again promise if re-elected to build the previously, but still undelivered Mornington Peninsula freeway extension over Jetty Road Rosebud.

I guess it must have slipped his mind with everything that has happened over the past couple of years.

The earthworks for the missing bridge have been in place for decades but are nothing more than wasted space.

It isn’t tourist time yet, but the traffic hold-ups at the Jetty Road roundabouts at peak times are getting worse by the week.

I’m confident the Labor candidate will promise and then deliver the much-needed overpass if elected, just as our Labor state premier [Daniel Andrews] always delivers his promised infrastructure projects, such as removing level crossings, building rail tunnels, north-east link and second Yarra crossing. Rob Hall, Rosebud Editor: The spring 2019 edition of Mr Hunt’s Flinders Community News said the federal government had allocated $75 million to fix the “traffic nightmare” at Jetty Road, Rosebud on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway. However, completion of the upgrades depended on state government involvement.

Trained for the job AN apprenticeship training program with 100 per cent success rate has won a national award for Esso Australia and training company, WPC Group.

The Australian Apprenticeships – Employer Award follows the success of the customised mentored apprenticeship program which, since its inception in 2018, has hired and trained 42 apprentices and trainees across Esso work sites at Longford in Gippsland and Long Island Point, Hastings.

All apprentices and trainees hired through the program remain on the job with Esso, with many now qualified tradespeople.

“This program has been a fantastic success for Esso Australia, facilitating a range of benefits across our organisation including improved productivity, greater workforce flexibility and cost savings, in addition to the cultural benefits that youthful enthusiasm and improved diversity brings to the workforce,” Esso’s lead country manager Dylan Pugh said.

WPC’s general manager Andrew Sezonov said working with Esso “has been a

rich and rewarding experience”.

“Esso Australia operates in complex and precision-driven work environments, with highly specialised skills needs. So, this a rare opportunity to create, from scratch, a workplacespecific apprentice and trainee training program,” he said.

“To re-imagine how an apprentice and trainee training program could be structured, and incorporate new approaches to support and mentor our apprentices and trainees to succeed, and to then achieve a 100 per cent retention rate after three years, is remarkable – and professionally rewarding for everyone involved.”

Mr Sezonov said the program could be a solution for large and small employers “to the enduring problems of skills shortages and apprentice and trainee retention”.

ARTISTS FEATURE AT 50TH ART SHOW THE 50th Anniversary Mornington Art Show will again feature two popular quality artists among the 700 or more paintings on display.

Yesim Gozukara finds joy and excitement in creating bold, dynamic, expressive contemporary paintings in watercolour. Her subjects are inspired from her extensive travels within Australia and overseas. She uses the quality of watercolour pigments to create different textural effects. Yesim has been pursuing her ambition and painting with passion in her home studio based in Melbourne, while concurrently working as a senior experimental scientist for the last 30 years.

Her award winning paintings have been featured in six solo and numerous joint exhibitions such as the National Art and Sculpture Museum, Izmir, the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne and many prestigious art shows.

The Mornington Art show is delighted to be able to present Yesim’s work to our community Jayne Henderson has had a long association with the beautiful scenes around the beaches and cliffs of the Mornington Peninsula.

Her use of light captures the essence of the natural beauty of the area. She is passionate about the beauty of the beach and her

paintings display great attention to detail and her love of the bayside subject matter.

Jayne’s style is strong and vigorous, showing the influence of the Australian impressionists she so admires. At affordable prices, many local residents have added samples of Jayne Henderson’s work to their walls.

By popular demand, the Mornington Art Show is proud to again display the work of this fine artist.

Rotarian John Renowden said “I believe these fine artists will be in strong demand at our Anniversary Art Show. Along with around 700 exhibits the 2022 show is shaping as one of our best ever displays of quality art ” The Mornington Art Show will be held at the newly constructed Studio and Community House, Corner of Wilson’s Road and Nepean Highway Mornington.

Opening night is Jan 20th and the show will run daily 10 am-5pm up until its final day on 26 Jan , Australia Day.

GIVE EXPERIENCES INSTEAD OF GIFTS AS 2021 draws to a close, one thing many Victorians will agree on is that we have seen more of our own homes and all the stuff in them than we had planned this year.

Instead of giving loved ones more stuff this Christmas, Frankston Arts Centre is encouraging the community to treat family to an experience they will remember and rave about for years to come.

Gifts that create memories are perfect for all ages, and the FAC has just the ticket for the whole family in 2022.

For the kids, see the classic story book ‘Magic Beach’ live on stage, be enthralled by the humorous story of ‘Whalebone’ and enjoy ‘Bluey’s Big Play’ all on stage in January 2022.

In March, be delighted by the awardwinning film ‘A Boy Called Sailboat’ with the soundtrack played live by the Grigoryan Brothers. Later in 2022, kids will love ‘Wolfgang’s Magical Musical Circus’ by internationally renowned Circa Contemporary Circus.

Comedy fans will get the year off to a great start with ‘MONO: A Three-Person One-Man Show’ featuring Noeline Brown, Max Gillies and John Wood in February. We all need a good laugh, and Ross Noble will certainly be providing those when he performs ‘On The Go’ in the theatre in March.

For the music fans, a huge selection of shows are heading to Frankston including ‘The King of Rock & The Prince of Pop’ just before Christmas.

In February, the beautiful singer Mirusia presents her ‘A Salute to the Seekers’ show, and Australian music icon John Williamson brings his ‘Winding Back’ tour to Frankston, followed by a walk down memory lane with

1 December 2021

‘Buddy Holly In Concert: The Touring Years’, the ‘Neil Diamond Super Hits Show’ and the hit songs of ‘The Big Chill’.

March is a month for music-lovers with ‘Dancing in the Shadows of Motown’ featuring

a 10-piece band and internationally acclaimed artists. Two of the greatest vocalists of all time will be celebrated in ‘The Cocker Ronstadt Experience’ and the world’s number one ABBA show ‘Bjorn Again: Mamma Mia! We Are Back

Again Tour’ return to Frankston for what will be another sell-out show.

Later in the year, check-in to the ‘Hotel California: The Eagles Experience’ for a captivating live concert, be treated to Pink Floyd’s biggest smash hits in ‘Echoes of Pink Floyd: A Journey through Time’, or go on a sonic journey through Joni Mitchell’s life with ‘BLUE: The Songs of Joni Mitchell’.

Take a trip down memory lane with ‘The Australian Bee Gees Show’, experience the incredible ‘QUEEN: Bohemian Rhapsody’ and enjoy the hits of ‘Invincible: The Helen Reddy Story’.

In July, ‘The Celebration of Swing’ features the unforgettable music from the big bands of the 1940s played by Australia’s top instrumental soloists.

Lovers of dance will be entranced by Irish music and dance sensation ‘A Taste of Ireland’, and the Victorian State Ballet performances of ‘Anastasia’ and ‘The Nutcracker’. Immerse yourself in the spectacular ‘Celtic Illusion Reimagined’ and then cruise back to the bopping, rocking 50s and 60s with ‘Shake Rattle ‘n’ Roll’.

Theatre fans will enjoy the first selection of the 2022 Season at FAC – featuring critically acclaimed productions of ‘King of Pigs’ and ‘Black Cockatoo’.

For the Music Theatre fans, ‘Margaret Fulton The Musical’ - a delightful musical romp following Margaret’s journey from humble beginnings to super-stardom hits the stage in Cube 37 in August.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

A Higher Elementary School for Frankston Compiled by Cameron McCullough INTRODUCED by Mr Downward, M.L.A., a deputation consisting of Crs. Oates, Wells and Mr L. R. N. Utber, waited upon the Director of Education on Wednesday last to urge the establishment of a higher elementary school at Frankston.

It was explained that a site covering six acres in a suitable position was available, and that the required number of pupils for the type of school suggested had undertaken to attend.

It was also stated that residents of Frankston and the adjoining districts were prepared to subscribe £1000 towards the cost of the proposed school.

The Director gave a sympathetic reply, and it was arranged that Mr M. P. Hansen, chief inspector of secondary schools, should visit Frankston on Thursday, 1st December, to meet local residents and discuss proposals on the ground.

Cr Mason, chairman of the shire council sub-committee, appointed to deal with this matter, has communicated with the secretary of the Peninsula Schools’ Association, urging that delegates from all schools interested attend at Frankston on Thursday next, at noon, for the purpose of meeting Mr Hansen.

It is of vital importance that enthusiasm should be shown in this matter, as the Government appears to be very favorably disposed towards Frankston’s application. *** THE “welcome home” to Captain Bruce, M.H.R., takes place at Frankston tonight.

The Prime Minister will be present.

*** THE combined schools’ picnic to Royal Park took place today, and was very largely attended. *** THE death is reported from Euroa, of Sergeant William Hy. McCormack, who was stationed at Frankston for some years.

He was 56 years of age, and had been a member of the Police Force for over 30 years. *** ON Sunday last the death occurred of Mrs Catherine Crampton, widow of the late Mr Harry Crampton, at the residence of her sister, Lewis Street, Frankston.

The funeral took place on Tuesday, Mr Watkins, Presbyterian Minister, conducting the service at the graveside. *** THE case against Charles Henry Morgan for having attempted to have carnal knowledge of a little girl, 10 years of age, at Langwarrin on Oct 31 came before Mr Justice Mann in the Criminal Court last week.

The Crown accepted Morgan’s plea of guilty of an indecent assault, and abandoned the more serious charge.

Morgan had to be assured by counsel that “it was unlikely that be would be hanged” before he pleaded guilty.

The circumstances of the case were that he met the little girl whilst she was returning from school, and cried out “Look out for the snake !”

As the child turned away, he caught her, and dragged her into the bushes.

When arrested by the Frankston Police, he denied that he was the man

who was wanted.

The medical evidence by Dr Maxwell showed that, whilst there were marks of violence on the body no serious offence had been committed.

Dr Maxwell stated that Morgan was of low mentality.

Accused’s counsel stated that Morgan was a returned soldier who suffered from shell shock, and had been treated at Mont Park Hospital for mental and nervous diseases.

There had been some unhappy differences between accused and his wife at Cheltenham, and it was claimed that such a man would probably have less restraint over himself than normal person.

Accused was remanded for sentence. *** MR J. Jones, of Caulfield, is erecting a saw milling and planing plant on the Burns Estate, which lies between the Hastings and Cranbourne roads, close to Mr Werner’s mansion.

Mr Jones was impressed by the fact that the lots in the Burns Estate are much the cheapest on offer in a part of Frankston which, with electrification and the making of the subway from the island platform, must go ahead by leaps and bounds.

He is entering on the erection of a four roomed residence on the allotment adjoining the one on which his plant stands.

That done, he proposes to erect other houses for sale, on blocks in the estate which Mr Macmaster has advertised in the “Standard” from time to time.

The enterprise on which Mr Jones has embarked should make building on and about Cranbourne and Hastings

roads easier and cheaper, and will be welcomed by all who want to see the district progress. *** ON Saturday, 12th November, the Hastings tennis players visited Tyabb, and met the local players in a match.

The teams were – Hastings – Messrs Hoban (capt), Davis, Haybeck, Shea, Mesdames Kay, Jacobson, Haybeck and Miss Reid. Tyabb – Messrs Sexton (capt.), L. Cole, P. Mair, H. Russell, Misses V. Cole, V. Barrett, A. Lister and L. Slocombe.

After a very enjoyable afternoon’s play, Tyabb ran out victors by 38 games to 32.

Some of the Tyabb players, who are new to match tennis, suffered a bit from nerves at first but soon found their game.

Last Saturday, 19th November, the return match was played at Hastings.

The Tyabb team was the same as before with the exception that Mr H. King took the place of Mr Russell.

Rain caused the play to be a bit late in starting, but a start was made about 3.30.

Tyabb were again victors, by the narrow margin of two games.

Needless to say the Tyabb players are very pleased with themselves, and hope that their success will continue in other matches. *** A QUESTION of Legality To the Editor Sir, On two occasions lately the local Justices of the Peace have “cleared the court” at Frankston and conducted the cases behind closed doors.

Without questioning the morality or desirability of the procedure, one might be pardoned for presuming to doubt its legality.

The Lord Chief Justice of England (Lord Haldane) has ruled that no British court can conduct its cases behind closed doors – an eminent opinion that was endorsed up to the hilt by the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords in one notable test case.

The late Sir Samuel Griffith (Chief Justice of Australia) and the late Sir John Madden (Chief Justice of Victoria) also ruled, I believe, to the same effect.

The Higher Courts conduct ALL business with open doors, and I have heard one police magistrate in the city declare that he had not the power to conduct a case behind closed doors.

The two local cases specially referred to seem to support my viewpoint.

In each instance, the cases were heard behind closed doors by local justices, and afterwards conducted in open court by Mr Justice Mann and Police Magistrate Knight without any suggestion of closing the doors.

Personally, I am not very much worried about it, but curiosity prompts me to try and find out who is right – the Chief Justices of England and Australia, and other eminent authorities, who have made Law their life–long study, or Frankston’s honorary justices!

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

A Question Mark Hanging Over All Of Us

By Stuart McCullough LET me say at the outset, I’m not a fan. Questions don’t belong on billboards, not ever. As hapless commuters whiz past, they’re confronted with a demand for an answer but without any opportunity to supply it. Such is the nature of traffic. There’s barely enough time to absorb the question, much less cogitate and produce an answer of any value. It’s simply unfair on everyone. But this billboard was especially heinous.

It was bright yellow with big black text ALL IN UPPER CASE WHICH IS VERY, VERY ANNOYING. The billboard seemed to be questioning the need for lockdowns or vaccinations or both in combination when it’s still possible to contract and pass on Covid. Or something like that. There may have been a gratuitous aside about winged monkeys or a complaint that cereal boxes rarely come with free toys anymore, I can’t really remember – it all happened so quickly.

And while there’s a very simple answer to the billboard’s Covid question (‘Because science’ springs to mind), the banal nature of the enquiry was only one of its problems.

There was way too much text on the billboard. It was as though someone had vomited random words that had then been put on display as a warning to others against the dangers of drinking seawater. Or similar. There were words all over the place. The first chapter of ‘Lolita’ has fewer words than this obnoxious billboard. It was the advertising equivalent of using a loudhailer to scream at the moon while pushing a shopping trolley. It

PAGE 24

Western Port News

read like something you’d expect someone to mutter under their breath as they wrap themselves in a space blanket shortly before smearing their body with peanut butter as a protection against the wrath of the sun god.

But that wasn’t the worst of it. For all that text and all that UPPER CASE screaming, the question lacked one,

1 December 2021

fundamental thing. A question mark.

It’s one thing to deny Covid. It’s another thing completely to deny the need for punctuation. Somewhat ironically it begs the question; what kind of deranged non-punctuating pervert leaves a question mark off the end of a question? (See what I did there? I put a question mark at the end of my

question. Granted, the author of that pitiful billboard would consider that showing off, but there are standards to uphold.)

Brace yourself – here’s where it gets super dodgy. This catastrophic upper case, punctuation-denying piece of anti-science word vomit bore the name of a political party. The name of that political party featured the words ‘United’ and ‘Australia’ right next together without even a hint of irony.

How odd it is that such a divisive statement should come from someone who declares themselves interested in unity. Clearly, abandoning question marks is the least of their problems.

Any organisation who misapprehends the meaning of the term ‘united’ is going to struggle with even the most basic medical advice, starting from ‘don’t stick a knife in an electrical socket’ right through to ‘don’t inject yourself with bleach to ward off coronavirus’.

We’ve come so far and given up so much to get here. Billboards like this from people who struggle with basic sentence structure are more a form of heckling than anything else. Indeed, the billboard could just as easily have featured a hand with a single raised finger and communicated much the same sentiment with the added bonus of not having offended the laws of grammar.

It must be said that there are quite a few interstate politicians who seem to be making these kinds of noises.

Mostly, they come from parts of the country that have been relatively unscathed by the pandemic. They’ve given up little, when compared to eve-

ryone here. My only hope is that they don’t start turning up here in an illfated attempt to capitalise on people’s frustrations. On the plus side, though, they won’t need to catch a plane to get here; having clearly decided to do all their travelling by bandwagon from this point on.

I was talking to a friend of mine who’d received multiple text messages from a particular politician spouting sentiments that they, no doubt, believe are billboard worthy. She found it distressing and I think it’s understandable. There’s something awful about being told by someone that everything you’ve endured or sacrificed over the past two years was for nothing. To have someone attack that sense of consensus is upsetting. I honestly believe they don’t know how much harm they’re doing.

I have a question of my own.

Should people who defy the laws of grammar be permitted to run for high office? The answer, of course, is ‘no’ but that’s unlikely to deter them from doing so. Enough’s enough. I’m going to get myself a big old bucket of paint and put that question mark at the end of the billboard myself. And, while I’m there, delete the word ‘United’ – which I’m beginning to think may be a simple spelling error – and replace it with ‘Untied’. That would make more sense. If those responsible for the billboard are reading this – assuming you can, in fact, read; consider replacing the billboard with a mirror and take a long, hard look at yourselves. Just saying. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

High five for Melino at Chelsea SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie CARLO Melino’s name has been synonymous with local football since the ’90s and 2022 will mark his fifth successive season as head coach of State 4 club Chelsea.

The Melino family moved from Adelaide to the Victorian capital in 1996 after Melino’s father bought a Nissan dealership on the peninsula.

Just 14 years old the teenager had spent his junior days at Adelaide City and had played in its under-18s when he was just 13.

Here he played in the reserves at Glen Eira, spent a season at Bentleigh Greens alternating between the National Youth League and reserves squads then joined Frankston Pines in 1999 where he was top scorer in the reserves.

At the end of that season ongoing groin problems led to a hip operation that sidelined him for three years and when he came back he was forced to play in the lower leagues.

Melino played with Seaford United, Chelsea Hajduk then Frankston Strikers where a knee injury during pre-season training required reconstructive surgery.

During his recovery Seaford coach Billy Rae asked him to coach the reserves and he agreed.

Melino joined Berwick Kings for the 2009 season as player-coach of the reserves then had short spells at Doveton and Cranbourne before deciding to hang up his boots.

He coached Endeavour United’s reserves for three years then assisted Billy Natsoulis at Doveton before being named Endeavour’s senior coach for the 2015 season.

That three-year spell ended when he was named head coach at Chelsea for 2018.

His first year at Edithvale Recreation Reserve was spectacular as he engineered a title triumph in State 5 with a squad whose average age was just 22.

While his next few seasons haven’t been as successful his focus has been on consolidation and development and is in sync with the wishes of the committee that continues to support him in his role.

“Obviously the club wants us to finish as high as we can but they don’t say ‘here’s your budget so go and bring in some big players and get pro-

moted’,” Melino said.

“They don’t want to go up the leagues then when the money dries up come back down again.

“They want to be a sustainable club where culture comes first and that aligns with me.

“I just love the stories about players in our senior squad who have been with our juniors and come all the way through to the seniors and that’s what sustainability is about.

“And when you create a good culture players want to come because of the environment.

“Put it this way – they don’t come to Chelsea for the money.”

While he enjoyed the championship celebrations at the end of the 2018 season he wasn’t blinded by the spotlight of success.

Early in his tenure he had detected a lack of combativeness among his young players and knew he had to address that issue.

“Skill wasn’t an issue but we had to harden up

Will guides Wil John to Jericho Cup victory HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based jockey Will Gordon claimed the biggest win of his career in Sunday’s Jericho Cup (4600m) at Warrnambool but was quick to modestly deflect any of the credit.

Gordon sat on the Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained stayer Wil John for the first time in Australia’s longest flat race and perfectly timed his ride to win the contest by a length.

Despite the well-executed winning ride, Gordon immediately stated that “its not about me today”.

“It’s about the horse, the team and the legacy of the race,” he said post-race. “It’s just an honour to win the Jericho Cup.” “This is at the top of them (his biggest race wins) isn’t it.”

The Jericho Cup ran for the fourth year straight on Sunday to honour one of Australia’s greatest war horses, Bill the Bastard (who won the former Jericho Cup in 1918), the Australian light horsemen and their mounts known as the Walers.

In fine remembrance of the Walers, Wil John carted the 70kgs topweight to win the feature race in a time of 5:21.03.

“He’s just a tough horse. He really dug deep for me” Gordon said. “He’s a big, long bugger but he stuck his neck out and I’m just thrilled he could get the job done for all of his connections.”

Maher has trained multiple Group 1 winners for winning owners Colin and Janice McKenna over the years but it was evident that this win was something special for the two of them. “[Wil John’s] mother was one of the first yearlings I bought for Colin and Janice, and to breed it and go through the whole ride and win a race like this, it’s very, very special. I’m a bit lost for words,” Maher said post-race.

The sentiments were certainly shared by businessman Colin McKenna who received a Member Of the Order Of Australia in this year’s Australia Day honours.

“My father and my father-in-law and uncles all went to war and it’s bloody special,” he said.

“All our friends are in [Wil John], we reckon he has 200 supporters here today. We love the horse, Janice and I. “It’s more than just winning the race, it’s how you win the race and who wins it with you, it’s an amazing feeling.”

and we started doing a lot of body-on-body work that season and while we had some big wins they weren’t against the other top three or four clubs.

“And when we got into State 4 the physical side of the game went up a notch and every week was a tough game.

“We brought in five or six 25- to 35-year-olds and that made us more resilient and we were able to consolidate our position.”

Melino expects the improvement in dealing with the physical aspects of State 4 to continue next season and cites vice-captain Luke D’Alessandro as an example.

“His improvement has been immense.

“Some of the tackles he wins are tremendous and he wouldn’t have won them like that back in 2018.

“That’s the same for a lot of the younger players who now understand that at this level you have to turn up and you have to put in for 90 minutes.

“You can’t afford to switch off.

“If you switch off against Dave Greening or Dylan Waugh they’ll score.”

Off the pitch Chelsea will maintain its preference for home games on Friday nights as the club sees those fixtures as an important part of growth.

“The upstairs part of the clubrooms becomes a restaurant and we have a lady called Deidre who lays out the tables and makes the most unbelievable food,” Melino said.

“For a small fee you book a table and we have 50 or more dining there every home game and people love it.

“For the boys it gives them a real sense of being at a senior club.

“I also want to mention that Chelsea have been wonderful to me and John Zecola, Carlo Bellino, Martin and Karen Vella and Rob Giabardo and the rest of the committee have always supported me and the senior squad and Chris Porteous has been our ressies coach and my senior assistant

since 2019.”

Melino’s involvement in football makes great demands on his time especially for a man with a young family and he readily acknowledges the part his partner plays in making this possible.

“I wouldn’t be able to do what I love over the past 14 years without the wonderful support of my beautiful wife Kate who lets me fulfill my passion for the sport and looks after our three cheeky kids Amila,6, and the two-year-old twins Luca and Raphael.”

Melino turned 40 last Friday and 2022 will be his eighth season as a senior coach.

No doubt opposition clubs in State 4 will be hoping that his record of one title every four years is not maintained.

Meanwhile in NPL2 news Jacob Brito has become Langwarrin’s third new signing in the offseason.

The teenager was signed from Dandenong City and joins Ryan Paczkowski and James Kelly in boosting the club’s attacking options for 2022.

Langy will play Essendon Royals in a friendly at Lawton Park on Saturday 29 January at 1pm and 3pm a week after hosting the annual Steve Wallace Cup. In State 2 Peninsula Strikers started pre-season training last week and 33 players attended.

The club is hopeful of announcing that Danny Brooks, Jai Power and Riley Anderton have signed on again.

Head coach Donn Delaney has arranged a preseason friendly schedule kicking off in the New Year with a clash against Frankston Pines on Saturday 15 January (venue to be decided).

The other games are against South Yarra on Saturday 29 January (Centenary Park 1pm & 3pm), Dandenong South on Saturday 5 February (Centenary Park 1pm & 3pm), Chelsea on Saturday 12 February (1pm & 3pm) and Noble Park on Saturday 19 February (Centenary Park 1pm & 3pm).
