IT was just like oldtimes when this driver was able to stop for a chat in High Street, Hastings. It was the weekend of the Western Port Festival and the crowds were out for enjoyment and a stroll. There was plenty to do and see in both the streets and on the foreshore, with a community group intent on “saving” the bay winning top prize for its entry in the parade. “Crowds at Hastings for festival weekend” Page 7 Pictures: Fran Henke
Recyclables go to landfill Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is being forced to send recyclables to landfill. The shire will continue collecting household recyclable waste, but with 130 tonnes “temporarily” stored at the Rye transfer station which has now reached capacity. Meanwhile, the shire has joined other municipalities in trying to force the
state and federal governments to find a solution to the growing crisis. Shortcomings in the state’s recycling operations were exposed on 15 February when the EPA ordered processing giant SKM – which collects the peninsula’s recycled waste – to stop drops at its Coolaroo and Laverton sites over concerns the stockpiled plastic posed a fire hazard. The mayor Cr David Gill said on Friday that the shire had made “every effort” to continue to recycle material while not disrupting its normal collec-

tion service, but that temporary storage was “now at capacity”. “Temporary storage was a contingency if SKM was able to reopen its facility within the week,” he said. “[However], much like SKM and other councils, the shire is held to regulatory limits around the amount of material that can be stored and for how long. “Without certainty on the availability of a suitable alternative we are left with no option but to divert all household recycling to landfill until further notice from EPA.”

The mayor said this was an “extremely disappointing situation”. “Sending recyclable material to landfill was always our last resort,” he said. “Council is strongly advocating to state and federal government to share the responsibility with local government to ensure a quick resolution of the current crisis and ensure this cannot happen again.” The shire’s representative to the Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Forum Cr Simon Brooks, along with Crs Antonella Celi and
Hugh Fraser, along with shire officers, attended the Metropolitan Local Government Waste Forum on Thursday 21 February. They joined representatives of the 31 municipalities that make up the Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group in calling on all levels of government to “act quickly to avoid further escalation of the crisis”. “The shire has paid over $26 million in landfill levy over the past 10 years, contributing to the current $500 million fund held by the government.

Four people were charged with “two counts of assault police, affray, violent disorder, intentionally cause injury and other assault related offences.” Stonnington CIU detectives arrested a 26-yearold St Kilda man in relation to the incident, as well as the 27-year-old Langwarrin man, the 25-year-old Langwarrin woman and a 38-yearold Frankston man.

Ground Zero in Buruli fight Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ALL stops are out in the war against Buruli ulcer – especially on the Mornington Peninsula. Researchers from the Department of Health and Human Services are collecting soil and faecal samples from possums, have laid mosquito traps and conducted field surveys of properties as part of the Beating Buruli in Victoria project. On a second “front”, peninsula residents are being encouraged to get involved in a case-control study by filling out a questionnaire, looking at possible risk factors and understanding how people may become infected. They don’t need to be diagnosed with Buruli ulcer to be included. “We would encourage anyone in the peninsula area who is interested in being involved in the project, either by completing the case control questionnaire, or by agreeing to host a mosquito trap at their property, to get in touch with the research team,” Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr David Gill said. About 380 cases of Buruli ulcer were reported in Victoria last year, with researchers searching for answers to questions around the puzzling condition. Department of Health and Human Services spokesman Bram Alexander said there had been a rapid increase in notifications of Buruli ulcer over the past few years with “most cases linked to the Mornington Peninsula”. “Although it’s understood that the infection is picked up from the environment, and there is growing evidence to suggest mosquitoes play an important role, it's not yet known exactly how humans become infected with the bacteria or where in the environment the bacteria prefer to live. It is not thought to be spread person-toperson,” he said. The shire and the department are working with researchers from the Doherty Institute, Barwon Health, Austin Health, CSIRO, Agriculture Vic-

toria, and University of Melbourne in an effort to understand how the infection is spread and to identify effective ways of intervening to reduce infections. Residents are urged to minimise insect bites by using repellents and wearing long-sleeved pants and shirts, especially during summer months, protecting cuts and abrasions with sticking plasters, and promptly washing and covering any scratches or cuts from working outdoors. If they see a doctor about a skin lesion they should mention the possibility of Buruli ulcer.
“This research project aims to better understand how Buruli ulcer is transmitted and determine effective ways to prevent and reduce infections,” Victoria’s acting chief health officer Dr Brett Sutton said. “The project will identify interventions which we hope will actively disrupt disease transmission for the first time. This will lead to the development of evidence-based policies and practices that can help stop the spread of the disease.” Details: 2.health.vic.gov.au/beatingburuli
Soprano off to market SOMERVILLE soprano Harmony Lee, right, will perform at the 21st anniversary Opera in the Market in Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Market on 4 March. The 19-year-old singer, who graduated from secondary school in 2017, has made a name for herself this summer with her performance – with fellow Opera Scholars Australia students – of the appeal to Saint Seraphina from Malcolm Williamson’s Our man in Havana ahead of Beechworth’s Opera in the Alps. For the past six years Lee has paid for her singing lessons by busking with her voice and violin. She is now rehearsing with her 21 fellow scholars for Opera in the Market, in which she will share in the performance of Aaron Copland’s hymn to farming from his 1954 opera The Tender Land, led by tenor Thomas Harvey, and other chorus pieces. The scholars will share the stage for one night in the Market’s K Shed with Opera Australia leading soprano Taryn Fiebig, mezzo soprano Milijana Nikolic, tenor Rosario La Spina and bass baritone Teddy Tahu Rhodes. Opera in the Market will be accompanied by Symphony Australis, a 45-piece orchestra directed and by conducted by ABC Classic FM compere Guy Noble and supported by a 70-voice chorus performing works from Carmen and La Traviata. Proceeds from Opera in the Market ticket sales will benefit the OSA program, to which donations are tax-deductible. Tickets, from $69 at operainthemarket.com.au Picture: Marc Bongers

Eco-solar farm a first HOPES are high that a “hyper-intelligent” eco-solar farm will be built on the outskirts of Dromana. Bunjil Energy and renewable energy developer Volt Farmer are seekingMornington Peninsula Shire permission to create the 4MW solar farm to ramp up the southern peninsula’s electricity supply and power 1000 homes. It is hoped the pilot site will get the council’s nod mid-year. The energy company says the plant will produce clean energy as well as provide an “education experience centre and climate smart agricultural showcase” on Collins Road. Bunjil Energy founder Isaac Harrison launched the project at a gathering of industry representatives, linked-interest groups, politicians, councillors, principals and farming bodies, Friday 15 February. The project combines solar farm technology with regenerative agriculture and high local shared value. The latest in sensors and data analysis tools will aim to give schools and colleges access to teaching resources on renewable energy, soil biological health, water management, indigenous history and sustainable landscape management. “Our focus is on creating a better Australian energy company that will promote fair prices for the local community, create positive social impacts and improve environmental outcomes for all Australians,” Mr Harrison said. Blockchain technology will be trialled for energy and natural capital trading in the pilot project. Members of the community will be offered the opportunity to invest in the project reinforcing the direct local benefits: cheaper power and local ownership, he said. Stephen Taylor
Drugs, weapons charges A ROUTINE intercept by Hastings and Mornington police last week resulted in a Mornington man, 43, being remanded after facing Frankston Magistrates’ Court, Friday 22 February, charged with drugs, weapons and stolen property of-
fences. He was among four people – three men and a woman – arrested in two intercepts soon after 1am, Thursday 21 February, near Padua Drive, Mornington and later near Dunns Road, Mornington. Also arrested with the man was a Mornington woman, 30, who was released pending summons to appear at the same court in July. Police will allege they found methamphetamine and GHB (often known as ecstasy, as well as a Taser, knife bracelet, two knives and stolen tools in their car. Sergeant Ben Swift, of Hastings police, said they were each charged with trafficking methamphetamines, possessing a drug of dependence, two of possessing a prohibited weapon, two of possessing a controlled weapon, possessing the proceeds of crime, disqualified driving, and possessing stolen goods. The car they were driving was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1075. In the second intercept, near Dunns Road, a 46-year-old Mornington man and a 29-year-old Mornington man were arrested after police allegedly found drugs, cash, flick knife, slingshot and knuckle dusters in the car they were driving. They were charged and bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in July charged with trafficking and possessing a drug of dependence, four counts of possessing prohibited weapons, possessing the proceeds of crime, unlicensed driving and driving an unregistered car.
French Island patrol FRENCH Island was the focus of a visit last week by Hastings police as well as the Water Police, Department of Health and Human Services and Parks Victoria. They conducted patrols and welfare checks on the island which is home to 120 permanent residents. Hastings police say they are planning more patrols on the island in future.

Shire’s China visit looked at waste disposal
Waste not wanted: The mayor Cr David Gill and Cr Simon Brooks mull over 130 tonnes of recyclables at Rye transfer station. Picture: Supplied
AN inspection of hi-tech waste facilities in China in 2017 by officers and councillors was indicative of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s commitment to better waste management, it is claimed. Shire infrastructure services manager Jessica Wingad said the visit aimed to progress the use of advanced waste and resource recovery technologies to reduce the need for more landfill sites. The technology also improved resource recovery from municipal, construction and commercial residual waste, she said. “Mornington Peninsula Shire was committed to best practice waste management and resource recovery, taking an active role in transitioning the state to waste-to-energy technology,” Ms Wingad said. “We continue to take local action to support best practice in conjunction with council’s advocacy in calling on state and federal governments to support council and the community in planning for a sustainable waste future.” She said the shire had implemented waste initiatives at local level, such as the Peninsula Compost Challenge, Bin Inspection Program and Recycling Champions.
“Council has been actively involved in driving sustainable waste strategies across Victoria and takes a leadership role in the Metropolitan Waste Management Groups forum and advocacy programs,” she said. “In 2017, then-mayor Cr Bryan Payne wrote to the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change to advocate for an alternate waste technology facility in the South East Metropolitan Area.” Ms Wingad said the shire would “continue to strongly advocate to the state government on the strategic use of the Landfill Levy Fund to support the viability and sustainability of best practice waste management in Victoria”.

Parcels gone AN alert courier driver was able to have his van stopped by remote-control after it was stolen from outside a house in Mt Eliza where he was making a delivery, Wednesday 13 February. The van was immobilised when the van was within two blocks – still giving the thieves time to transfer two dozen packages and parcels into a waiting station wagon before making their getaway. A man, 28, and woman, 27, both of the Somerville area, appeared before Frankston Magistrates’ Court, Friday 15 February, charged with more than 60 theft-related offences. (See Arrested delivery The News 19/2/19). They were further remanded to appear at the same court next month. Detective Craig Goudie, of Frankston CIU, said the man was facing 35 charges and the woman 27 charges of theft, burglary, theft of cars, theft from cars and “many more charges to come” before their next court appearances. He said it was “common knowledge” among thieves that courier vans had immobilisers fitted allowing them time to drive only two or three blocks before their engines cut out. “In this case the man jumped into the van [which had been left running in Boxmoor Court] and the woman followed him to a designated spot to unload the parcels,” Detective Goudie said. “They then drove to Chelsea where they were attempting to dump unwanted items into a skip bin behind the shops but were disturbed by a shopkeeper. “One parcel contained $600 in books for a Mt Eliza student.” The pair was found asleep in a stolen car at Black Rock, 2am, Thursday 14 February, before they allegedly rammed a police car, injuring one officer. They were apprehended in Brighton
soon after while attempting to flee on foot. Bail was not requested at the court hearing and no pleas entered. Detective Goudie said jewellery allegedly stolen from a peninsula property was found in the stolen car.
Cannabis crop POLICE said they discovered a cannabis “crop house” in James Street, Hastings, last week. Detective Sergeant Allan Paxton, of Somerville CIU, said four cannabis plants and a large quantity of the plant was being dried in the “sophisticated” hydroponic operation, 9.45am, Thursday 14 February. A 32-year-old man living at the house was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in July charged with cultivating a drug of dependence.
Multiple charges TWO men arrested at Tootgarook last week faced Frankston Magistrates’ Court charged with a range of burglary, theft and deception charges. Detective Sergeant Jason Hocking, of Somerville CIU, said the 22-year-old, of Rosebud, and the 42-year-old, of Tootgarook, were arrested in Raymond Street, 3.30am, Tuesday 19 February. They were said to have in their possession power tools, IDs and credit cards allegedly stolen from cars parked in the area overnight. Detective Hocking said CCTV showed one of the men using a stolen credit card at a Rye service station around that time. The Rosebud man appeared on six counts of theft from cars, five counts of obtaining property by deception, possessing the proceeds of crime, two counts of handling stolen goods, and committing an indictable offence while on bail. The Tootgarook man faced counts of burglary and attempted burglary, five of theft from cars and of obtaining property by deception, one of possessing the proceeds of crime, and committing an indictable offence while on bail. The men were remanded to appear at the same court at a later date.
Taste for wine PASSERS-BY put a stop to a potential wine theft at a Mt Martha bottle shop, Wednesday 6 February. Mornington police say a man, pictured, entered the Lochiel Avenue business about 4pm. After allegedly slipping a bottle of wine into
Plea for footage
his bag he tried to leave the store without paying but was grabbed and the bottle retrieved. The would-be thief ran off.
Hit from behind A WOMAN in her car in Mt Eliza was run into from behind causing neck injuries, 8.30am, Monday 18 February. The Bonbeach woman, 25, was waiting for the lights to turn green at the intersection of Wooralla Drive and Nepean Highway when she was struck by a car being driven by a Frankston woman, 29. After exchanging names and addresses the woman felt unwell and saw a doctor. She was taken to Sandringham hospital with a fractured vertebra in her neck. Leading Senior Constable Greg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said the Frankston woman would likely be charged on summons with careless driving.
POLICE are seeking dash-cam footage after a 71-year-old Tyabb cyclist was struck from behind on Mornington-Tyabb Road, between Jones and Frankston-Flinders roads, Tyabb, 7.30am, Wednesday 13 February. He is still in a serious condition in The Alfred hospital. The footage can be forwarded to Senior Constable Anthony Deason, Somerville Highway Patrol, call 5978 1358, or go to Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
Phone stolen TWO men, one carrying a knife, stole a phone from a man walking along Jetty Road, Rosebud, 3.55am, Friday 15 February. The victim said the men drove off in a dark coloured sedan.
Phone selling BUYING or selling mobile phones via social media or online market places can be dangerous. Police say incidents often occur when the victim advertises to sell their phone and then has it stolen by a “buyer”. Or, a person intending to buy a mobile phone is robbed of their cash and phone when they meet someone posing as a “seller”.

Crowds at Hastings for festival weekend AN estimated crows of 4000 people was in Hastings for the 50th Western Port Festival on the weekend to watch the parade, enjoy music, and participate in free activities. Organisers were “very happy with the turn-out” who took in the action on the foreshore, including Sunday’s Classic Car Show with 200 British, US and European cars, Battle of the Bands, rides and attractions, sand sculpture, competitions, amusements, community market and fireworks display. About 40 community groups marched down High Street in Saturday’s parade followed by a flash mob’s – kids from Simply Dance – unplanned dance action bringing up the rear, Western Port Festival Inc spokesperson Samuel Dennison said. Winners of the parade as judged by a group including Hastings MP Neale Burgess, Cr Kate Roper, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, HMAS Cerberus Captain Michael Oborn and the mayor Cr David Gill were: Most creative, Save Westernport; under-12s, St Joseph’s School Crib Point; best Display by a Local business, Hastings Mowers; best volunteers, Hastings CFA; sporting, Hastings Yacht Club; and, best recreational, Marshere Other highlights were market and food stalls, art shows, pin-up competition, petting zoo, pony rides, competitions and live music on the main stage, especially by feature band The Bad Loves as well as Saturday’s finale – the fireworks display. For the little ones, Children's Corner offered art and craft activities and a workshop, teddy bears’ picnic, gift making, lolly art and craft and story-telling, games and books. The Save Westernport group’s entry was based around giant eastern curlew puppets made by artist Ian Cuming. Save Westernport is using the eastern curlew as being representative of bird and marine life it says will be endangered if power company AGL is allowed to moor a floating gas terminal at Crib Point. “We hope that by representing its endangered wildlife, people will be reminded people why Western Port is so important. From their laughter and squeals of delight, the kids watching the parade certainly seemed to enjoy their colour and movement” group member Kate Wilkins said. Stephen Taylor

Shed door leads way to history THE historic cargo shed at Flinders pier it packs a lot of history into a small space. The eight metres by five metres shed is the only building in Flinders on the Victoria Heritage Register. Built in the 1870s, the shed has been renovated and now home to an interpretive display tracing the history of the area back to the days before European settlement. The shed and interpretive display was officially opened to the public by Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr David Gill on Thursday 21 February. The ceremony was attended by members of the Flinders District Historical Society (FDHS), friends and the public. The centre had a “soft” opening in early January and since then 1500 visitors have passed through its doors despite it being only opened at weekends between 10am and 3pm. Cr Gill commended the historical society for restoring “this little shed with a big history” and its its dedication to telling the stories of the district’s past and giving voice to “all who have called this special place home”. “It’s so important that we preserve our historic buildings in a way that acknowledges and celebrates our place and our history, to ensure our stories are told for generations to come,” he said. He said the shed was a strong reminder of the importance of sea transport for moving heavy cargoes to isolated coastal settlements in earlier times. Historical society vice president Jo
History on display: Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr David Gill cuts the ribbon to open the restored historic cargo shed at Flinders as historical society president Neville Wale looks on.
Monie said volunteers would keep the shed open at weekends until the Labor Day weekend and it would also open over Easter. The cargo shed’s significance is that it is one of very few such port structures, which used to be common in the state, that remains intact. The shed only just survived as it had become derelict by the early 2000s and was restored by the shire with the aid of a grant from Heritage Council Victoria in 2011. Flinders port precinct on Kennon Cove at the entry to Western Port,
is recognised because of its historical significance as a port and its role in early coastal trade, as the site of the first successful telegraph cable connection to Tasmania in 1869, its former fishing fleet, and role in coastal defence during World War I and World War II. The natural history of Kennon Cove and Aboriginal occupation are presented in a series of 14 panels. A number of artefacts found on site including sections of the telegraph cable are also on display.

Cladding dangers THE Victorian Bulding Authority and Frankston Council are working together to investigate if any further buildings in Frankston contain dangerous cladding. Frankston mayor Michael O’Reilly told The Times that emergency orders were issued late last year to residents of a property in Culcairn Drive, which was found by a state government audit to have “combustible cladding.” Mornington Peninsula Shire’s chief operating officer Niall McDonagh told The News “the design and use of materials on all new buildings are in accordance with regulatory requirements”. “The shire is not aware of any buildings within the shire that are affected by this type of cladding.”

Art springs from dreaming of water By Jay McCarthy-Rivero
After 48 solo art exhibitions across the world, Dutch born Mornington artist, Phillippe de Kraan, is facing his toughest assignment as an artist exhibiting at the New York Art Expo in April. De Kraan is being represented by The Gallery Steiner, a Vienna based gallery which exhibits works at arts fairs across the world. “It is a great honour to be represented by The Gallery Steiner,” de Kraan said. “To be represented by them will help cast my art across the world stage.” In New York, he’ll be exhibiting two works, Parody of Life and There was a time. “I created both these works after being inspired by a dream relating to how precious water is on the planet,” de Kraan said. “They took many months to paint, using oils on canvas, and using only the finest brushes to get the most defined detail.” De Kraan’s New York success follows coming second in the Los Angeles 100 Vibrant Artists Exhibition at the end of 2018. “It was a great surprise. The exhibition was accepting foreign entries and was judged by a committee, with a Chinese artist finishing first and me coming second.” De Kraan’s style can be described as expressionism with psychedelic tones. “I have always been inspired by the likes of Vincent Van Gogh, Brett Whiteley and Rembrandt,” he said.
Inspired art: Phillippe de Kraan with his painting Rhythm of Life that came second in the Los Angeles 100 Vibrant Artists Exhibition. Picture: Yanni
“They are all completely different in their styles, but it is not just their art that attracts me. I appreciate their lifestyles, their thinking and their passion. “I like my works to do the talking. I like them to speak for themselves, and for me.” De Kraan looked overseas after being frustrated with what he sees as Australia’s lackluster curiosity in art. “It’s the culture here. We’re not really entwined with art, and that’s why people are sometimes ambivalent,” he
said. “If I set up my own art exhibition down the road displaying all of my works, I would only probably get 10 people coming in each day. “In Europe it’s a part of the culture. It’s like a business that’s taken seriously. People are born into it. They have some of the best art galleries in the world, which display beautiful paintings from great artists.” De Kraan says he was “born an artist. I was never any good at school”. He has always worked in isolation
to ensure only the ideas and stories he wants on the canvas are included. “It can’t be any other way because it has to come from me. It’s my painting.” De Kraan has straightforward advice for anyone looking to follow a similar path to him: “Find your passion. Follow your passion, and believe in it. Don’t give up. Giving up is the easiest thing to do.” De Kraan’s work can be seen at www.dekraan.com

Youngsters set the standard THREE young Mornington Peninsula surfers have signalled they are contenders for state-level recognition following the first round of the Victorian State Junior Surfing Titles at Gunnamatta. While mainly west coast surfers dominated during the two-day contest (16, 17 February), brother and sister Sara and Lucas Hickson and Sarsha Pancic showed the peninsula’s young surfers are a growing force. Sara Hickson, of Rye, won the under-14 girls division. Her brother Lucas came second in the under-14 boys; Sarsha Pancic, of Blairgowrie, was third in the under-14 girls. While surfing her way to third place Pancic scored 9.43 for a wave, giving her the highest single wave score in her division. Surfing Victoria said Pancic, 12, who won her way into the semi-finals, was “able to put the other girls in her heat in a combination situation and hold a stranglehold of the highest scoring wave of the day, which is a whopping achievement for one of our up and coming female surfers”. Despite a record number of entries in the under-14 girls division, Sara Hickson was able to put together a heat total of 15 out of 20, including an eight and a backup seven point ride in the

“pumping rip bowl conditions”. Isla Huppatz (Jan Juc) came second, Pancic third and Eva Bassed (Sandy Point) fourth. The under-14 boys was won by Willis Droomer (Torquay), Lucas Hickson second, Jack Bassett third and Isaiah Norling fourth. Results: www.surfingvic.com Keith Platt

LETTERS
Time for Australia to grant asylum to Assange Congratulations to the Australian government for its unrelenting successful efforts to have a refugee footballer returned here from Thailand rather than be extradited to Bahrain to face trumped up charges, torture and possibly death. What a pity that our government still refuses to go in to bat for our very own Australian Julian Assange, a refugee in the Eucadorian embassy in London, terrified to step out for fear of extradition to the US to face trumped up charges (no pun) and a possible death sentence, already promised by some US politicians. His crime was famously to publish on the internet the infamous video clip Collateral Murder, being a cockpit recording in an Apache helicopter gunship in Iraq showing the US crew gleefully, enthusiastically and callously slaughtering innocent civilians incorrectly thought to be hostile. Watch it and be sickened. Gee, I recall our government going in to bat for the Bali 9 drug smugglers - dealers in death and misery for money. It’s about seven years now since Assange was granted asylum in Eucadorian territory. Can’t he get asylum in Australia? Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
Australia’s shame The political games go on, with the detainees on Nauru being tossed backward and forward. The five or six years of detention seem to be of less importance than proving “our security is at risk”. Now, the Nauruan government is proposed to be the final arbiter on whether these people will be sent to Australia for advanced medical treatment. This is a cowardly step by the Department of Home Affairs which has been paying the government of Nauru as of June 2018 $2000 a month for each refugee, that is $10m a year. Shame Australia, to bribe an island with a small income to do its dirty work at such a price. This is called “working together”. Funny, that was once called “bribery”. Sounds to me more like “being bought”. Patricia Rayner, Somers
Show compassion I am very disappointed in my fellow Australians for being so gullible. The conservative federal government has been performing poorly. It has arrogantly stared down public opinion when [its members are] caught with their hands in pockets belonging to us, the taxpayer. Their incompetence and apparent corruption has been met with severity at the various polls conducted over a period. But they have again produced the racist card and the dog whistles and suddenly the Morrison government is on the crest of a popularity wave. I have to question the legitimacy of the latest poll figures that can be manipulated by the way the question is couched. How can a troubled government gain eight points in the space of a week? I implore everyone to show the compassion and warmth that we’re continually told we have an abundance of and don’t play into the hands of this government that thrives on fear and suspicion above sound policies to gain re election. John Cain, McCrae
Banks should go Further to Joe Ziino’s letter (“Amazed at publicity for former Liberal Banks” Letters 13/2/19) my concern is about the resignation of Julia Banks from the Liberal Party, and at the same time was the endorsed Liberal Party MP for the federal Seat of Chisholm. Subsequently, she declared herself as an independent and moved to the crossbench in the parliament, as have others in the past, and is also standing as an independent for the federal electorate of Flinders, in the forthcoming federal election. The fact that she held Chisholm as a Liberal Party member, means that the majority of the electorate that voted for her, is now not being represented, as was shown in the recent vote in the parliament for the “medivac bill”, where she voted with the other independents and duly defeated the Liberal National Party government by a single vote
In the case of the previous prime minister [Malcolm Turnbull] where he resigned from parliament entirely, and his seat was contested at a by-election, one would have thought that a similar criteria would have applied, because of the change of party allegiance. I am not familiar with the technical situation of this matter, as to whether it is a constitutional situation, or alternatively would require legislation with a bill in the parliament to call for a byelection, should there be an endorsed member of a party resigning in future. As a matter of principle I believe she and others really have no right in sitting in the current parliament because of the foregoing reasons. Parliament needs to give priority to this and resolve what appears to be ambiguous. John F O’Hanlon, Capel Sound
Bullying questions The unsubstantiated comments of bullying in parliament and the subsequent defection to the crossbench of [independent candidate for Flinders and current MP for Chisholm] Julia Banks do her no credit at all. She has been also intimately involved in the turmoil what presently passes for parliament. As the [elected] Liberal MP for Chisolm she has a duty to represent her voters in that electorate. How does she justify her actions to them, particularly as she receives $200,000 to represent them. She should vacate the parliament? Eric Gilford, Mt Martha
‘Active’ Hunt John Cain is typical of the left with a short and selective memory referring to the disgraceful display of loyalty by [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt (“Facts that matter when it comes to election” Letters 20/2/19). I wish to remind him of [Opposition leader] Bill Shorten. He not only knifed Kevin Rudd but proceeded to do it again to Julia Gillard. Taking Cain’s rationale, Bill Shorten should no longer be leader of the Opposition or even an MP. Cain refers to the unification of the Labour [sic] Party. May I suggest that it is disappearing by the day: border protection and Adani and if they ever get into parliament (heaven forbid) there would be a massive factional war. I endorse Thomas Burgess’s remarks that Greg Hunt is a very active MP for Flinders, involving himself in activities of local community groups while fulfilling his role as Health Minister (“Hunt forever” Letters 20/2/19). Peter Rogan,Rye
Vote on suitability Moderate Liberal voters will deliver Labor, no matter what the polls say. Sure, the sheep and plods will do as they’re told by the tabloids that they pick up for the latest reality TV updates on page 3, and from watching commercial TV news in between the latest retail experience advertorial planted by publicists and advertisers, which is of more of interest to the herd. But the thinking moderate Liberal voters realise how dangerous the Morrison-Dutton team is to democracy, free speech, humanitarianism and privacy. Indeed, because thinking moderates have seen the Morrison-Dutton team, including [Mathias] Cormann and [Greg] Hunt, play Brutus the Younger on [former Prime Minister Malcolm] Turnbull, and don’t want a full-blown kakistocracy licensed by voters. John Dobinson, Herston, Brisbane Editor: The Oxford Dictionary defines kakistocracy as being “government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state”.
Independents needed The Liberal National Party government of Australia has lost any vestiges of credibility it may have had left. The incessant rants about the “dangerous” refugees on Manus and Nauru that may have their health restored here in Australia after being
made sick in the first place by the inhumane treatment by our negligent government officials, is a sad indictment of a government only interested in staying in power. It is no wonder that fair-minded conservatives are leaving a party that has lost any sense of fairness and compassion ever since the LNP has made the treatment of refugees a party political issue. Shame on them all. Their behaviour is another nail in the coffin of our democracy. Our only hope to save democracy in the western world, is the rise of a large number of independent members of parliament and a strong independent commission against corruption. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach
Gourmet trail Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, in its wisdom, initially had Coppin Road, Sorrento footpath in three sections on opposite sides of the road. This necessitated crossing the road at the end of one section to continue on the next section. The efforts of local residents has seen this changed to now having one continuous footpath. However, the footpath does not continue to Nepean Highway, but turns at the last house and proceeds in front of the houses facing the highway to Rusty’s restaurant, where pedestrians cross the highway. They can now walk back to the front beach and The Baths Restaurant. I can just see this happening. Suzanne Ewart, Sorrento
Ridiculous claim What a ridiculous statement by Bill Holmes of Coppin Road, Sorrento makes about me reimbursing him for his share of the footpath (“Footpath costs” Letters 29/1/19). As he pointed out the week before, the cost has ballooned because people like him tried so hard for four years to stop this well needed project. He could have saved the shire (and himself) hundreds of thousands of dollars if the project had gone ahead originally. Stop whining.
Erica Bryan, Sorrento Layla Godfrey’s claim of the Coppin Street Sorrento footpath scheme (“Lacking safety” Letters 20/2/19) falls well short of the mark. Contrary to her claim, I have consistently supported the Coppin Street, Sorrento footpath scheme from its outset four years ago. This included all the later recommendations made to council by council management at the request of the residents. The consequent increase in cost of the project has been taken up by council and the federal government. The final apportionment of the total cost is federal government $450,000, council $280,000 and residents $170,000. When completed, the footpath scheme and the road improvements will provide safer pedestrian access for residents, two primary schools, the church, several bus stops, shops, cafes and the beach. Hugh Fraser, councillor, Nepean Ward
Opposition grows A crowded Mornington Peninsula Shire Council public meeting at shire chambers Thursday 14 February saw almost 100 worried business interests, local residents and ratepayers and members of local chambers of commerce, learn about the possible impact of a Kaufland store being built at the gateway to Mornington near the Oakbank Road intersection with Nepean Highway. The mayor Cr David Gill and planner David Bergin assured the audience that the council would oppose and present a strong case for no development. Local groups want a community based action committee to bring all the interested parties together. Several members of other groups have started this process, namely the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers and Residents Association and the Mt Eliza Community Alliance. Both groups will have a Wednesday Mornington market presence for the next month and anyone interested in joining can approach the volunteers on duty and sign a petition. Details available 0437 460 668 or by writing to PO Box 345 Mt Eliza 3930. Ian Morrison, MPRRA and MECA

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Visitor to Mornington charged with drunkeness Compiled by Brodie Cowburn AT the Mornington police court on Wednesday before Mr J. G. Barrett, Js’P., an elderly woman named Mary Sandles appeared to answer a charge of drunkenness. She was fined 5s, in default 5 hours imprisonment. Defendant stated she was a resident of South Melbourne and sold matches for a living. She was offered a joy ride to the sea-side by a friend and finally arrived at Mornington where she was having a jolly time when the police interferred, and cut short her merry making. The police escorted Mary out of the town during the afternoon and she is now wending her way back to South Melbourne per foot. *** THE business announcement of Mr J. A. M’Entee, storekeeper, estate agent and car and cab proprietor of Seaford appears in another column. Mr M’Entee’s Tea rooms are also well known and supplies of confectionery, tobaccos, cigarettes etc. are always procurable. *** THE headmaster of the Frankston school desires all boys of the “1905 Quota”, (that is those who will reach the age of 14 during the year 1919) to fill in their Registration Forms, and forward them to Lieut. H Bowden, area officer, Mordialloc. *** IN our advertsing columns Messrs Burton and Law announce that they have purchased the bakery and catering business in Frankston lately carried on by Mr Arthur who has been
The 91st
ordered by his medical adviser to seek residence inland. The new firm takes charge today and they hope to secure a continuance of the patronage extended to Mr Arthur. *** IT is stated that Mrs Millington, who recently arrived at Moorooduc from the Mallee district with her family, suffered a very heavy pecuniary loss during the ravages of the bush fires in that district recently suffered. A handbag containing £69 was mislaid during the excitement caused by the threatened destruction of the house, and the bag and contents, along with some wearing apparel, were destroyed, the premises also narrowly escaping total destruction. Contributions in aid of this family are being collected. *** Over 150 soldiers from the Caulfield Hospital were entertained by the Wattle Club at Frankston Park on Saturday afternoon last. The visitors were welcomed by the President of the club, Miss Gregory, and a very enjoyable afternoon was spent. Refreshments were provided and musical selections played at intervals. Amongst the visitors were two V.C’s, one M.M., and several others with distinguished decorations. Private E. V. Quirk of Hastings was noticed in the crowd. He is still in hospital and hopes are entertained that he will gain an early release. *** Members and adherents will be pleased to learn that highly satisfactory progress is being made with
the work of collecting funds for the erection of a Presbyterian Church at Frankston, the site for which has already been secured in one of the best positions in the town. Miss Mackay, who from the outset has evinced great interest in the movement is meeting with encouraging success in her efforts to further the object, and she reports that something like £400 is now in hand for the building fund. The matter of appointing Trustees is now being proceeded with and we understand that Mr M Keddie of Melbourne has given his consent to act as one of thee number. With the completion of the necessary formalities and the receipt of further donations it should not be long before a commencement is made with the the construction of the building. *** “The Latest” in Regard to Inoculation. – On Friday a well-known old “confidence” trick was played on William Iredale, laborer, of Greensborough, who was apporached at 10am, in Bourke Street, by a man who asked him the way to the inoculation depot, and so struck up a conversation, in the course of which he told Iredale that he wanted to be inoculated as he was about to leave Melbourne for a place 30 miles over the New South Wales border. Iredale said he was going to his “job” at Little River. His companion then told him he had a friend going by the same train, and promised to introduce him as “company” on the way. The two men then went to shop in Collins Street, where the stranger

shortly afterwards returned, and told him the proprietors of the shop could not change a £10 note, and he was thus £3 10s short of the required amount. Iredale lent him the £3 10s and the stranger walked into the shop and then, probably, out the back door. The police are looking for the trickster, who was about 28 years of age, and dressed in a brown suit. *** Business firms are keeping pace with the steady progress at Seaford. In another column will be found an extended advertisement relating to the Post Office Stores, of which up-todate emporium Mr J. B. Howell is the enterprising proprietor. As a weekend resort Seaford is rapidly coming into prominence and the excellently arranged dining rooms established by Mr Howell are proving a decided acquisition and a source of comfort and convenience to visitors. *** On Sunday next a further number of soldiers will be entertained in the Frankston Park by the members of the Wattle Club. *** A shaving strop presented towards a funds of the recent gymkhana at Frankston was raffled by Mr C. Wood this week and realised 16s 3d. The winner, Mr T. Ritchie instructed Mr Wood to “let her go again” and fresh investors are now being booked. *** TO THE EDITOR. Sir, I notice that you have numerous subscribers among Red Hill, Dromana and Sorrento residents, so
I thought, maybe, they would not be adverse to one drawing attention to the state of the main road in the Mornington Shire. A trip across Mt Martha from the summit to the Boundary Bridge, below Vale’s, proves abundantly what one hears so frequently, that the track is positively dangerous – consisting as it does of ravelled up track and free course for the winter flow of rain down the centre. The last fall of rain has choked the pipes that cross the road at various points and a worse condition of affairs will be experienced in the near future. I have specially mentioned the part of this road between Mornington and Dromana under the control of the Mornington Shire because the part controlled by the Flinders Shire Council is kept in very decent condition by the constant attention of local man, who at once repairs any portion reported to his Council by travellers. I note with satisfaction that a big stretch of main road is in course of construction under the Country Roads Board powers, but it is scandalous to find that a portion urgently needed by the “Saltaire” Sub-division Estate and J. Livingston’s property is to be omitted from construction. If our Councillors would but look after the ratepayers by seeing things for themselves. I am sure the mute appeal of the roads themselves would break up any position they may have to sanction immediate improvements. ONE WHO DREADS THE WATER TRAVELLING. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 1 March 1919

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Political Science and Heavy Metal – Together at Last By Stuart McCullough I MAKE no apology for it – I am Team Twisted Sister. No, I don’t own any of their records. No, I’ve never seen them play and no, I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing their merch to work on casual Friday. But in the battle between Twisted Sister and a certain political aspirant on the comeback trail, I am more than happy to declare my undying allegiance to the biggest heavy metal band ever to come out of Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey. It’s ironic. Not just in a perfunctory sense but on every single level of a skyscraper built of irony. I’m talking about quantities of irony that, if exported, would almost certainly extinguish the national debt. Frankly, this is irony on an industrial scale that if left unremarked upon would surely cause clocks to stop, seas to boil over and result in permanent damage to the space time continuum. It’s a mega meta mind melt of gargantuan proportions. The irony is this: that an anthem about standing up to injustice should be (allegedly) appropriated for a hokey political ad, requiring those who wrote said anthem to stand up against this (alleged) injustice. It’s never been easy for Twisted Sister. They began way back in 1972, idolising the New York Dolls. For those unfamiliar with the New York Dolls, they were a hard rock / glam rock band that played uncompromising rock and roll whilst dressed in something you’d expect your auntie to throw away. Long after their idols broke up, Twisted Sister remained loyal to the New York Dolls blueprint. But rather than effete New Yorkers,
these New Jersey blokes were made of sterner and, indeed, heavier stuff. The make-up they wore made them look not so much feminine as absolutely terrifying. But despite the confronting nature of their appearance, they
worked tirelessly, playing thousands upon thousands of shows. For years they toiled, building up a huge fan base without so much as a record contract. They knew how to entertain. When they finally did get
signed, it was to a label based in another country that went out of business before they would release a song that would become their biggest single and best-known tune. It was then that fate intervened. Atlantic records, who had previously rejected the group, signed them to a recording deal. It wasn’t until their third album - Stay Hungry was released in 1984 that they issued the single that would define them. That’s twelve long years of graft. Their follow up – Come Out And Play – was an invitation the world at large saw fit to ignore. By 1987 they’d split. I realised something was amiss as I drove home one night. Looming above was a giant yellow billboard that boldly declared ‘Put Australia First’. There was a picture of Australia. In front of the picture of Australia stood a man who, for the sake of anonymity, I shall refer to as ‘Clive P’. I was confused at first. Was this satire? Some kind of elaborate practical joke? Or did no one in the office notice that you shouldn’t have an advert that declares ‘Put Australia First’ that features a picture of yourself quite literally and a very real sense, putting yourself first. In front of Australia. Presumably this was some kind of catastrophic printing error. Much like a wedding invitation that requests that you ‘RSPCA’ rather than ‘RSVP’, it was too big to ignore. (Although if you accepted the invite by carrier pigeon, the former could still apply.) Had someone at Clive’s joint noticed, it would have been worth the extra trip back to Officeworks to get another poster. Sadly, this was no mere one-off but the beginning of a media
onslaught. Other slogans soon emerged including, ‘Make Australia Great’. This too sounds awfully unoriginal. Unlike that other guy who likes to put his name all over everything, Clive P hasn’t gone so far as to say ‘Make Australia Great Again’. The ‘Again’ is superfluous. The Donald’s slogan is all about restoration. Clive’s slogan is more ambiguous. Whether omitting ‘Again’ is an exercise in restraint or because (in his view) Australia has never been great and really ought to aspire to greatness for the first time is difficult to say. Especially with a mouth full of peanuts. Which brings me to this: the advert that has triggered a feud so immense that it makes the dust up between the Capulets and Montagues seem like little more that a misunderstanding. The advertisement is very yellow. It contains music that – to my ears – sounds like ‘We’re Not Going To Take It’, save that the lyrics are now ‘Aussies Not Going To Cop It’. As an aural experience, there’s no other way to describe other than as a travesty, a crime against the human ear itself. The aspiring politician claims to have written the words himself. Paul Kelly has nothing to fear. Twisted Sister is entitled to be proud of its song. It’s only right that they take their own sage advice and defend it. I support their right to do so. Frankly, were they to run for office, I’d be more than happy to preference Twisted Sister ahead of the bloke they’re arguing with. Vote 1 Twisted Sister! stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Moorooduc in pole position against Crib Point By Brodie Cowburn
PENINSULA
MOOROODUC have put themselves in pole position to claim a win over Crib Point with a good performance on day one of their clash at Crib Point Recreation Reserve. Having been sent in to bat first, Moorooduc got off to a shaky start when they lost two quick wickets early. A steadying innings of 42 runs from number 4 batsman Shamith Kennangara helped Moorooduc correct their course, and they eventually ended up making 185 runs before being bowled out. Things would have been worse for Crib Point if not for Matthew Blake, who posted bowling figures of 4/16 off 8 overs. Crib Point were at the crease for 10 overs to end the day, and it proved a costly 10 overs. At stumps they were at 3/11, with a mountain of work to do on day two to recover. Main Ridge will also have their work cut out for them on day two, after Pines made a good recovery in their clash. Pines were sent in to bat first, and were struggling badly at 4/17. Nick Wilcox got things back on track with a well taken 54, helping his side to a total of 177 off 60 overs. Daniel Polson took 5 wickets. In reply Main Ridge looked toothless, and they will have to restart from 4/46 on day two. Nick Wilcox ran rampant before the close of play, taking 3 wickets for 1 run. At Red Hill’s home ground, the hosting side set a target of 185 for Baden Powell to chase down. A great last wicket partnership helped Red Hill from 9/111 to all out for 185, a massive boost to their hopes of a win. Baden Powell will start from 1/4 on day two. Somerville took on Long island at Somerville Reserve in a clash that saw the home side bat first. They set a target of 181, and Long Island made a dent in that before stumps. They were at 0/38 at close of play.

day two after a competitive day of cricket. Seaford opened the batting and struggled, putting just 107 runs on the board before being sent back to the sheds. Dean Blight did the majority of the damage, claiming a five wicket haul. In reply Delacombe Park got off on the wrong foot, and will have to chase down their target starting from 3/30 on day two. Carrum looked a little more settled in their match against Hastings, as they batted for the whole afternoon and put 203 runs on the board. Jack Thomson’s innings of 69 was the highlight of the day for Carrum. Carrum’s total could have been even larger if it weren’t for the bowling efforts of Shavidu Amarasinghe, who took six wickets. At Olympic Park, Rosebud played a slow and steady innings to set their Heatherhill opponents a target of 194. Opener Ashley Nagel was particularly patient, scoring 36 runs over nearly two and a half hours of batting. Heatherhill bowler Brad Mur took 6/63 off 30 overs, his best figures for his club. The clash between Seaford Tigers and Mount Martha seems as if it will end in defeat for the Tigers, as they put only 123 runs on the board batting first. Mt Martha will get going on day two from 1/21.
SUB DISTRICT
CARRUM Downs will have a lot of work ahead of them if they want to get a result out of their clash with Balnarring. Balnarring lost the toss and were sent in to bat first and lost a couple of early wickets, but corrected course to end up all out for a good total of 242. Rye looks set to best Skye in their clash at Skye Recreation Reserve, having closed in within 45 runs of a
victory. Batting first Skye struggled, with many of their batsmen failing to capitalise on decent starts. They ended up all out for 105 off just 55 overs. Rye bowler Tom Baron was best on the day, taking 7 wickets. Coming in to bat Rye were impressive, and ended the day at 0/60 off 25 overs. Around the grounds, Boneo had a good day against Tyabb, setting them a target of 243 to chase down. Jarvis Anderson was pick of the batmen with a score of 60 not out, his first half century for the season.
Tootgarook had a bye.
PROVINCIAL
MORNINGTON have enjoyed a good day against Peninsula OB, helped by a mammoth innings from Matt Foon. Foon put together his best ever innings for the Bulldogs, scoring 139 not out batting as an opener. His next best score this season was 93. Mornington were bowled out for 232, with Foon carrying his bat. Peninsula OB restart day two from 0/7. Mt Eliza also performed well in
their clash against Pearcedale, putting 210 runs on the board going into day two. Langwarrin suffered through a bad collapse at Baxter Park, going from 5/133 to all out for 155 against Baxter. In reply Baxter played 5 overs and will start day two from 0/5. At David Macfarlane Reserve, Flinders will have to work hard to beat the home side Sorrento. Blake Hogan Keogh top scored with 46 but his side was dismissed for 112 off 72 overs. Sorrento will restart on day two from 0/5.

Baxter bravehearts walk tall SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie BAXTER soccer club discovered 14 heroes on Saturday and set a benchmark of commitment for the upcoming season that threatens to silence the naysayers and confound its critics. In one of the most remarkable stories of the FFA Cup the local club overcame enormous odds to record a 3-2 victory after 120 minutes of gut-busting effort. Here was a club that a few days earlier was facing the possibility of having to forfeit this fixture. Worse still rumours abounded about players leaving and forcing the committee to withdraw its senior and reserve teams from State 4 South. Senior coach George Hughes and assistant Robbie Mathieson had contacted over 50 players during the off-season without success but last week the club signed Nathan Yule from Peninsula Strikers, Charlie Jones and Lewis Gibson from Mornington and former Seaford United player Mitch Cohen. But defender Jake Kidder and midfield general Stuart McKenzie were unavailable due to work commitments so Hughes and Mathieson entered the fray with a patchwork squad with just one training session to its name. Altona North looked a slick outfit from the beginning with ex-Langy striker Chris Swain on the left and although Swain scored both of Altona’s goals he found his match in general play in youngster Tim Lee. The home side should have gone in front after 15 minutes when Ben Meiklem won a penalty after being brought down inside the area on the right by Altona defender Scott Berg. Up stepped Yule who seemed to wait interminably while referee Shorey Wong scribbled in his notepad the time and the caution given to Berg. When Yule eventually took his conversion attempt he skied the ball well over the bar. Gibson lost possession in the 28th minute and Altona broke forward quickly but Elvir Masabegovic imitated Yule and the chance was gone. Five minutes later Jones marked his debut with a stunning 30-metre strike that left Altona keeper Nenad Kukic grasping at thin air as the ball slammed against the underside of the bar, bounced down then was scrambled clear. Altona’s Robert Barbieri had been booked earlier in the half and when he deliberately handled in the 40th minute to stop Yule charging into the area he seemed certain to be sent off. Referee Wong thought otherwise. He awarded the free-kick to Baxter but took no action against Barbieri and the sides were locked at 0-0 at half-time. Seven minutes into the second half Yule received a second caution and if Baxter faced an uphill battle from the outset it now had a mountain to climb. In the 60th minute that mountain took on Everest-like dimension as Swain pounced on a poorly weighted square pass in defence from Cohen and slotted the ball past Baxter keeper James Foster. But five minutes later Barbieri was involved in an off-the-ball incident and finally was shown a second yellow card. Baxter was increasingly having its moments inside its attacking half and when substitute Brendan Norris headed home a superb Meiklem cross from the right the home crowd erupted. But the deadlock couldn’t be broken and the tie was forced into extra time. In the 101st minute substitute Bryce Ingram was at the back post as Gibson sent in a superb corner that allowed the big man to head past Kukic to put Bax-

ter in front for the first time. But right on half-time in extra time Swain sent a perfectly flighted free kick into the top corner to make it 2-2. Five minutes into the second period of extra time Altona substitute Olumide Adisa broke clear and looked certain to decide the outcome until Foster pulled off a superb one-handed save to guide the ball wide of the near post. Six minutes later Meiklem headed in from close range following great work by Ingram on the left of the area and that was that. A remarkable story had unfolded and when the Baxter players trudged off the pitch they received a standing ovation from the home fans who had just witnessed one of the greatest cup successes in the club’s history. “That win means everything. I’m so proud of every one of these boys. What a gutsy performance,” Hughes said after the match as celebrations broke out around him. Hughes refused to single out any of his players but the herculean effort of captain Izaak Barr was worthy of special mention. Time and again Barr went down and needed treatment for cramp but he soldiered on and when all three substitutes had been made he limped into the forward line and continued to battle. Hughes was grinning broadly after the result and may have more reasons to smile in coming weeks if Sam Brown (ex-Langwarrin), Phil Greig (ex-Mornington and Langwarrin), Dau Ajak (ex-Morwell Pegasus) and Jack Wyer (Mornington) all sign on. Harry McCartney reports that Seaford returned from the Darebin International Sports Centre on Saturday after recording a comfortable 3-1 victory in its cup tie with Reservoir Yeti. Nick Ormond’s attempted through ball in the 17th minute was cut out but Ormond won back possession and his far post cross was headed home by Dylan Waugh for the opener. Seaford dominated the first half against the wind but had to wait until the 66th minute to increase its lead.
27 February 2019
A defensive mix-up involving Reservoir’s central defenders allowed Kurt Wagner-Goldsworthy to open his account for his new club after his recent switch from Frankston Pines. Reservoir hit back against the run of play when Shrestha Akash finished well after a quick break in the 70th minute but three minutes later a corner to the back post was headed home by Ormond to complete the scoreline. Somerville Eagles staged a stirring come-from-behind performance to run out a 2-1 winner over Watsonia Heights in their FFA Cup clash at Somerville Secondary College on Saturday. Watsonia took the lead against the run of play in the 15th minute with John Walker’s chip over Somerville keeper Nathan Brown. A pivotal moment in the contest came in the 52nd minute when Watsonia central defender Luke McMillan received a straight red and in the 72nd minute Dave Greening pounced on a defensive error to equalise. Brown kept the home team in the contest with a superb save before substitute Will O’Brien’s mazy run put Mark Pagliarulo in possession and his lay-off allowed Greening to hammer the ball across the Watsonia keeper and into goal for the winner. Aspendale Stingrays overwhelmed Gippsland-based Monash 5-0 at Kingston Heath Soccer Complex on Saturday. The Stingrays went into this cup clash with 10 newcomers in their matchday squad. In front of a small but boisterous crowd Aspendale went ahead in the 3rd minute through ex-Dandenong City striker Kenan Nuhanovic. In the 23rd minute Nuhanovic struck again and the Stingrays went into the break with a comfortable lead and were unlucky not to be further ahead with near misses by Ryan Mravljak and Guil Ribeiro. Monash looked much more composed in the first 15 minutes of the second stanza until Connor Guyett scored in his first official game for the Sting-
rays to make it 3-0. Then sixteen-year-old defender Sonny Lindsay scored in the 77th and 86th minutes to seal a convincing victory. In NPL2 news Langwarrin bounced back from its opening round loss to beat Northcote City 3-1 at Lawton Park on Saturday. Johnny Kuol got the home side off to a dream start in the fourth minute and a stunning Jordan Templin goal in the 22nd minute made it 2-0. He slid down and won the ball on the left setting up Damir Stoilovic who played it back to Templin who then cut inside before unleashing an unstoppable right-foot drive from just outside the area that gave Northcote keeper Phil Petrovski no chance. The visitors hit back seven minutes later when Essendon Royals recruit Alistair Dunlop found space on the right of the Langy area and struck a low shot across home team keeper Fraser Maclaren. But the irrepressible Templin restored Langy’s two-goal cushion in the 39th minute when Northcote failed to clear a Stoilovic corner and the former Bulleen striker turned past two defenders inside the area before guiding the ball into the far top corner for a stunning solo goal. The downside of Templin’s afternoon came in the 73rd minute when he was forced from the field with a knee injury but the next day the club confirmed that it wasn’t serious and he is expected to be available for the next match. In NPLW news Southern United leaked goals against South Melbourne throughout a five-match fixture at Monterey Reserve on Saturday. Southern’s under-12s lost 8-1 with Amelia Hart scoring for Southern, the under-14s lost 3-0, the under-16s lost 4-2 with Southern’s goals coming from Sydney James and Alex Jones, the under-19s lost 10-0 and the seniors went down 11-0. The senior match represented a baptism of fire for new Southern coach Washington Castillo pitted against one of the best resourced sides in the elite competition.
“It was always going to be tough but I was happy with the first 30 minutes because we went out with a specific game plan and you could see they were getting frustrated,” Castillo said. “But when we lost Sarak (Weick) early through injury I had to drop Milla (Jowett) back out of midfield which threw out our shape and that was a big issue.” Southern technical director Harry Chalkitis continues to try and strengthen the senior squad. He had a number of meetings with former Matilda Melissa Hudson (formerly Barbieri) during the off-season but to no avail and he is waiting on Arsenal head coach Joe Montemurro to identify two visa targets. Last weekend’s friendlies saw Mornington draw 1-1 with Berwick City, Peninsula Strikers defeat Mazenod Victory 2-0 and Frankston Pines lose 4-0 to Albion Rovers. Liam Baxter scored for Mornington but fellow striker Amir Osmancevic was forced from the field in the second half and will need an x-ray to find out the extent of an ankle injury. Alpha Turay and triallist Bosco Abbasmoi scored for Strikers who had Grant Lane, Jordon Avraham and Adam Crabb all unavailable but featured Josh Calle who looks certain to be signed from Knox City. It can be difficult to earn praise from Strikers’ boss Danny Verdun but he was satisfied with Saturday’s display. “We were outstanding in the first 30 minutes and overall I was very pleased,” Verdun said. This weekend’s league games: SATURDAY 3pm: Southern Utd v Bulleen (Monterey Reserve, under-12s 9am, under-14s 10.10am, under-16s 11.30am, under-19s 1pm).

Frankston researcher scores VicSport inclusion award FRANKSTON resident and Monash University lead researcher Erik Denison has taken out the 2019 Peter Norman inclusion award at the Victorian Sport Awards on Wednesday 20 February. Denison landed the prize for his world-first research which looks into the prevalence of homophobic and sexist language within sporting clubs and how best to find a solution to the issues. The research, led by Erik Denison, from Monash University’s School of Social Sciences, was delivered during the 2018 season to teenage rugby teams by current and recently retired players from the Melbourne Rebels. Selected by a panel of industry representatives, Mr Denison was awarded the inaugural honour for pushing the boundaries to prove that real, genuine change can be made to ensure that sport is safe, welcoming, fair and inclusive for all. Denison was thrilled to be given the award but said there were many people who put in a lot of time behind the scenes. “This award recognises the work of a large group of people, particularly leaders within Victoria’s rugby union community and players from the Melbourne Rebels, who supported our research focused on ending homophobic behaviour in sport,” Denison said. Denison’s research was supported financially

by the Federal Government, Rugby Australia, Rugby Victoria, the Woollahra Colleagues Rugby Club and by Australia’s first gay and inclusive rugby team, the Sydney Convicts. “It was brave of the Victorian rugby community to support this research so strongly. I know Rugby Victoria says rugby is a ‘game for all’, although sometimes these slogans don’t translate to the grassroots. This was not our experience with rugby,” he said. “Everyone involved in rugby, from national, state and club leaders as well as coaches and players supported our research and efforts to end discrimination in all sports. This level of engagement is unheard of when conducting this type of research.” Mornington Shire Council also managed to land the Victorian Local Government Initiative of the Year award with their Fit N Fun program (All Abilities). The Fit N Fun program allows up to 40 participants to enjoy being with their friends and connecting with the community. Participants develop confidence to participate in sporting and physical activity programs, increase their skills, and are advised on healthy eating and personal relationships. The program is held on Wednesdays at the Civic Reserve Recreation Centre, Mornington.
PINECLIFF-based racehorse trainer, Anthony Freedman (Mt Eliza), has landed Godolphin’s very first victory in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on Saturday 23 February. The famous royal blue silks were carried to victory by jockey Luke Currie as the Freedmantrained Lyre surged from the second half of the field to secure Victoria’s richest juvenile race by half a length. Lyre is one of five Godolphin youngsters that the Freedman stable have under their care, and the only one that they’ve had raced. “This is a great result for our family,” Anthony Freedman said. “Our association with Godolphin has gone back a long time now, they’ve been very good to our family and myself personally in the last 12 months. “They have a great system. [Lyre] came to us, as they all did, in beautiful condition and was beautifully educated. It was just a case of developing her and getting her to keep improving into this race. “She really had made that necessary couple of lengths improvement and it’s more about not losing them backwards and clearly she didn’t go backwards and probably went on with it – she went great today.” Lyre had previously won her maiden in solid fashion at Sale before taking out the Group Two Blue Diamond Prelude (Fillies) at Caulfield on Saturday 9 February. Freedman was confident that she’d be hard fit
for those outings. “She’s obviously a quality filly and arguably she should be unbeaten,” he said. “She’s kept improving with each run. They ran fairly good time and she was the strongest at the finish.” For Freedman, Lyre’s Blue Diamond victory ensured he joined his brother Lee as training the winner of the race. Anthony for years worked as a foreman for Lee as his older sibling officially prepared Knowledge (1997), Danelagh (1998) and Alinghi (2004) to win the race. Anthony’s son, Sam, now works as the foreman for the stable. Lyre’s victory also provided jockey Luke Currie with his seventh Group 1 victory. Freedman’s other two-year-old to enter the race, I Am Immortal, finished a gallant seventh. I Am Immortal’s jockey Ben Melham said the early leader looks to have a good future. “[He’s] a very good colt. He just struggled to see the 1200m out but a break, and next preparation he’ll be fine.” Mornington-based trainer Jason Warren’s two-year-old filly, Brooklyn Hustle, also put in a solid performance finishing a length and a half away from the winner in fifth position. Brooklyn Hustle’s jockey, Beau Mertens, said she had what it takes to win a good race. “She ran really well today,” he said. “She was a bit slow out which put us two pairs further back than we wanted but she’s still learning and putting it all together.”
