5974 9000 or email: team@mpnews.com.au www.mpnews.com.au THE Alpaca Pavilion at the Red Hill Showgrounds has been used to house animals and by vignerons to display and offer their creations, but last weekend it was filled with music and dancing.

Weather and physical limitations saw the Playground part of the inaugural Drift Festival moved from Hastings to Red Hill.

The result of the live music, dance and theatre performances by Spark Productions and Dreamhouse Theatre Company - is likely to lead to a wider use of the Alpaca Pavilion.

In Dromana, Mornington artist John Trebilco sketched the activities he saw around him as the community hall in Verdon Street became the focal point for two days of live performances as part of the festival.

The inaugural 11-day festival - a “vehicle for creativity” - was sponsored by Mornington Peninsula Shire and included theatre, music, outdoor installations, film, writing and art projections.

The artistic offerings based at the Dromana hall were named Lift, a collaboration of the Peninsula Culture Collective (Dreamhouse, Spark, Living Culture, MP Music Network, Peninsula Studio Trail and Peninsula Writers Club).

Trebilco, (inset) with Living Culture coordinator Lionel Louch, is one of the Peninsula Studio Trail artists who will open their studios to the public over the 14-15 May weekend (details: peninsulastudiotrailinc.org).

Living Culture describes mission as being “to engage, empower and educate about the importance of keeping Aboriginal culture alive”.

‘Town hall’ for candidates Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au ALL 10 candidates for the seat of Flinders in next month’s federal election have been invited to attend and speak at a “town hall meeting” at Mount Martha.

The meeting is being organised the non-political community group Peninsula Voice and radio station 3RPP FM. The meeting will be live streamed on the websites of both organisations.

Peninsula Voice chairperson Peter Orton said little was known about some of the 10 candidates and the seat

had been held by retiring Liberal MP Greg Hunt for more than 20 years.

“This is a problem because we need to know what they care about. We need to know and understand the extent to which any candidate reflects our community values while they sit as our elected representative,” Orton said.

Questions each candidate will be asked to answer are based on the results of a survey of 800 people living in the Flinders electorate.

Orton said most candidates had already indicated they would attend the 11 May meeting, 10 days before polling day.

“We’ll be putting 10 chairs on the

stage with each of the candidates’ names,” he said. “They will each have two minutes to answer each question.

“Robust debate is an important indicator for the health of our democracy.

Currently it seems our politicians can say what they like and not be held accountable.

“I for one would like some confidence my elected representative will conduct themselves in office with integrity and a healthy moral compass.”

Peninsula Voice describes itself as a social movement for “community, conversation and engagement” that has been operating since 2014. It says it has no affiliations with local,

state or federal politics and specifically mentions it has no connection to the Voices of Mornington Peninsula group.

RPP FM general manager Brendan Telfer said it was “important that our community can express an opinion”.

The radio station was “the community’s megaphone”, and he predicted the meeting would be broadcast and live-streamed to “40 odd thousand listeners”.

“This will provide the community the best chance to hear from the candidates directly on their concerns,” said former ABC journalist Tracee Hutchison who will be asking the

questions on the night.

Peninsula Voice committee member and treasurer Elizabeth Gordon said she “didn’t know what I was doing when I voted the first time in 2018” as young people often saw politics as “overwhelming and negative”.

“I am bombarded with strong political views daily on social media. This makes me feel withdrawn from the whole process.”

The Meet the Flinders Candidates Community “town Hall” meeting will be held and broadcast from 7pm Wednesday 11 May at the New Peninsula auditorium, corner Craigie Road and Moorooduc Hwy, Mount Martha.

Volunteers track koalas for science Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au

KELLY Smith is researching koala populations and their spread across the Mornington Peninsula and Gippsland to understand more about their genetic diversity and health.

EVERY Monday until the end of May, volunteers around the Mornington Peninsula are being asked to search for little black nuggets - the poo equivalent of searching for gold.

The volunteers are part of a study led by Kelly Smith, of Dromana, from Federation University, which is gathering information on the movement and health of koala populations around the peninsula and Gippsland.

There have been plenty of Eureka moments for Smith and her volunteers, with every find contributing to a bank of evidence and data about presence of disease, genetic diversity, ancestral origin and gender.

Smith says the genetic sampling of koala scats (poo) is an ethical method of research because researchers are not bothering the koala, and the cost of research is minimal.

“It’s amazing what you can find out by analysing koala scats, so on every Monday for the rest of this month I will be calling on volunteers to help me visit certain areas and look for scats,” she said. “It’s a great way to help understand the koalas that we have left and work on ways we can help them.”

The Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation group is involved in the citizen science project, but more people are needed to find koala scats across the Gippsland plain - which includes the Strzelecki and Wilsons Promontory bioregions, and the Mornington Peninsula, Cardinia, and Bass Coast areas.

“It’s really important to find volunteers who can help with this project because more than 70 per cent of koala habitat is on private property, and therefore most koalas are located on private land and difficult to access without permission,” Smith said. “It’s helping us to determine where

the koalas that are here came from, whether they are part of the koalas from French Island, or from around the Gippsland plain bioregion.”

Before European settlement koalas were interconnected across the entire Gippsland plain but are now separated by agricultural land.

Koalas were hunted for their fur in the 1800s and trees were cleared, restricting the movement of koalas.

With koala numbers and genetic diversity low, a breeding program was started on French Island to reintroduce healthy koalas to the mainland using just a handful of koalas.

However, researchers soon discovered that due to inbreeding low genetic diversity and a high incidence of chlamydia was threatening their survival.

“There is one koala population in the Strzelecki Ranges which has been found to be a remnant koala population of special significance with high genetic diversity,” Smith said.

“There is evidence suggesting some koalas from the original population may still remain in areas such as the Mornington Peninsula, Tooradin, Cranbourne, Koo Wee Rup, and Grantville.,” she said.

“If this is the case, then it will be important to protect the genetic integrity of koalas in these regions, and conserve them as an insurance population. Individuals could be used for genetic rescue of populations where genetic diversity is low.”

Anyone with koalas visiting their property or who regularly sees koalas and would like to be a part of the project should phone Smith on 0432 530 443 for a scat collection kit. Volunteers are being asked to look for koalas and use toothpicks to collect fresh scats from under the trees.

The group volunteering days on Mondays at 1pm will be held around Mount Martha, Mount Eliza and Frankston.

Interested people can join the Mornington Peninsula Koala Project Facebook page.

SCHOOL students from across the Mornington Peninsula have used art and imagination to demonstrate their engagement with the wonders of the underwater environment.

The Mornington Peninsula Schools Art Competition, run by the Save Flinders Pier group with the support of the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and Mornington Regional Art Gallery, drew almost 300 artworks of all genres.

The competition was the brainchild of the SFP group as a way of bringing wider attention to the importance of the marine environment, and to encourage young people to engage with the underwater world.

One of the key organisers, retired teacher and Flinders resident Trish Hurley, said the competition’s theme, Caring for our environment, included above and below the ocean and the built environment on Port Phillip and Western Port bays - places of historical significance as well as offering enjoyment.

She said the impetus for the competition was the announcement by state government that 180 metres of the timber section of Flinders pier would be demolished due to deterioration of the pylons and subsequent safety concerns.

“As soon as we started receiving the submissions, we knew the schools and the students had enjoyed the challenge and really put their hearts into their pieces,” she said.

Cross-curriculum activities included scientific exploration of the flora and fauna, historical aspects of the natural and built environments, recreation on the bays, commercial fishing and ways the community benefits from living in proximity to a coastline and how to care for it.

‘Live’ party before art’s virtual return ONE of the Mornington Peninsula's premier art shows - the Red Hill art show - is returning virtually after a year's hiatus.

Art Red Hill comes back to life in style on Friday 20 May with a party to launch the fortnightlong virtual exhibition.

The show has emerged as the jewel in the peninsula's art crown since its inception 42 years ago, drawing talent from the region and beyond.

An evening of music, art and drinks will be held on a private property in Main Ridge to mark the start of Art Red Hill, which also serves as the key fundraiser for Red Hill Consolidated School.

Principal Gus Wettenhall said the school was excited to have the “important community event opening its arms once more to artists and artlovers”.

"The arts have suffered significantly over the past two years due to the pandemic and extended periods of lockdown, as have our schools and our relationships with those around us,” he said.

"Art Red Hill is a celebration of art and community, both of which have never been so important."

Entries in the show cover painting and photography to ceramics, sculpture and jewellery.

The opening night will have live music and art projected on barn walls.

Running for two weeks, there will be hundreds of works available for sale online via Gallery 247.

Opening night guest speaker Morningtonbased painter Sophie Perez said she was looking forward to again seeing people gathered in the name of art.

“Creativity has been such an integral part

MELISSA Cupidon adds detail one of her works in the Art Red Hill show. for so many artists and collectors during the lockdowns it’s wonderful to be able celebrate in person again with lots of new and returning faces,” she said.

Michael Leeworthy, artist and Art Red Hill committee member from 1982 to 2002, was also anticipating the opening night.

“Art Creates unique connections between people and their environment,” he said. “My 20 years on the committee seem like no time at all because we had a lot of fun.

“The whole point of the art show has always been to engage the community. Even as a virtual exhibition – and especially with such a unique opening night gathering – this tradition is as enriching and vital as ever.”

Art Red Hill Virtual Show, 20 May – 5 June 2022.

Art Red Hill Fancy-Shed Soiree – Friday 20 May from 6.30pm to10.30pm, at the The Fancy Shed at The Dairy, Main Ridge. This is an 18plus event and proof of double vaccination or exemption is required.

MARYNES Avila has won the 2022 Mount Eliza Sculpture Trail competition.

Glass casts shadow on the beach SIXTEEN years of collecting sea glass on the Mornington Peninsula foreshores turned into something of an environmental message for Mount Eliza artist Marynes Avila, who has won the best entrant prize in the 2022 Mount Eliza Sculpture Trail competition.

Avila’s winning entry, Indifference, is an ongoing site-specific project, and is a poignant choreography of about 1500 sea glass pieces in a sea of sand that she describes as “a commentary on oblivious human behaviour towards environmental issues”.

The self-described “visual artist” who creates sculptures and photographs, is exhibiting her

work in the Police Point Artist in Residence Retrospective exhibition.

With an art and science career spanning more than two decades, Avila has exhibited throughout Australia and overseas, holding 16 solo shows, participating in over 57 group exhibitions and completing numerous public art commissions as well as delivering art installations around the world.

She is currently holding her Oasis solo show at the Box Hill Community Arts Centre, which is based on the indigenous and introduced flora that inhabit her studio and garden on the peninsula.

Shire offers $500,000 to performing arts MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has launched a $500,000 program to support people working in the performing arts.

The performing arts fund is aimed at supporting arts and culture as “drivers for community development, economic stimulus, health and wellbeing, accessibility and inclusion”.

The shire says the peninsula’s “vibrant performing arts community” helps attract more than seven million domestic and international visitors to the region each year.

The money being offered by the shire will go to peninsula-based creative organisations and individuals wanting to develop performancebased artistic works and increase job opportunities in the sector.

The mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said that understanding that the industry was especially hard hit by lockdowns and COVID-19 restrictions with loss of employment and income, the fund aimed to support artists and arts companies to continue to develop works “that reflect our unique Mornington Peninsula environment and identity”.

He said the peninsula is home to “many talented creatives” and urged them to attend a workshop “to learn more if you work in one of the eligible fields”.

Cr Paul Mercurio, the council’s representative on the arts and culture advisory panel, said the fund would support performing artists on the peninsula to “explore, create and perform work, allowing them to develop their unique voice and at the same time nourish the local peninsula audiences”.

During the upcoming Drift Arts Festival, the shire will hold workshops where participants can learn more about the fund and ask questions to help with their applications.

Details: driftartsfestival.com.au and mornpen.vic.gov.au/grants to apply for funding.

Cost shortfall RISING building costs have forced Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to add $400,000 to the cost of redeveloping pavilion at Red Hill Recreation Reserve.

The state government allocated $2 million in its 2021/2022 budget for the detailed design and construction of the project, based on the cost estimates of shire officers. Due to rising costs within the construction industry that estimate has increased to $2.370m, leading shire officers to ask council to make up the shortfall to finish the project in the 2023/2024 budget.

Red Hill Recreation Reserve is home to Red Hill Football Netball Club, Red Hill Junior Football Club, Red Hill Cricket Club and Red Hill Netball Club, as well as being used for the Red Hill market and Red Hill Show.

The reserve has one set of permanent home and away change rooms to service two ovals and two netball courts.

THE state government and NBN Co are boosting internet speeds for some households and businesses on the Mornington Peninsula, with upgrades to fixed wireless networks underway.

Over the next two years more than 34,000 residences and around 7700 businesses across 54 suburbs – including Balnarring, Dromana, Somerville and Mornington - will benefit from speeds of up to one gigabit a second, which is typically 10 times faster than now available.

The state government will finance the running of fibre along streets past homes and businesses in selected locations. In return, NBN Co will install a fibre connection at no charge to eligible premises, but only where an order for a 100 megabit a second service is placed with a participating retail service provider.

All FTTP fibre provided by the government is due to be rolled out by mid-2024, with some locations being able to connect from mid-2023.

To find out if your area is a business fibre zone or eligible for fibre to the premises visit vic.gov. au/connectingvictoria

ZOE MCKENZIE – SOMEONE WHO GETS RESULTS I have a record of getting things done nationally, at the State level and here on the Peninsula. I have been involved locally with many community organisations working to address the disadvantage we suffer by being part of ‘metro Melbourne’ as opposed to ‘regional’.

Running my own small business, I know the unique challenges facing small and family enterprises which are the lifeblood of our local economy. We need less tax, less red tape, and more help for those trying to build opportunities for others.

I have a plan for a world-class tourism and hospitality training hub on the Peninsula and I will work with the local community towards a new Technical College to encourage young people into trades.

I will protect our natural environment so that our kids, and your kids, can live and love it like we do. My partner Rod and I are scuba divers, and I want to protect our beaches, the Green Wedge and Arthurs Seat.

I want to make sure that the Mornington Peninsula remains one of the best places to live, raise a family, or run a small business.

MORE than 100 drivers were booked on Mornington Peninsula and Frankston roads over the Easter and Anzac Day long weekends, resulting in 274 offences recorded during Operation Compass by Victoria Police.

Superintendent Fiona Bock said the 11-day operation saw 106 drivers booked for speeding.

“This is particularly concerning as speed is a major contributor to trauma on our roads with the potentially devastating effects of such behaviour felt throughout the community,” she said.

“Whether speeding, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or checking a message from your mate, you are making a decision that puts the lives of innocent and vulnerable road users in your hands.”

From Thursday 14 April to Monday 25 April, police also detected 10 drug drivers, 26 drink drivers, 34 unregistered vehicles, disqualified/ unlicensed drivers, and 55 other offences including disobey traffic control, seatbelt offences and mobile offences.

Thirteen vehicles were impounded.

Bock said the operation had finished, but that police were continuing to do everything they could to “protect innocent and vulnerable road users”.

“Local members will continue to regularly patrol our roads on the lookout for reckless driver behaviour while our highway patrol cars will utilise Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology to catch any unregistered or disqualified drivers,” she said.

“With worsening weather conditions and reduced visibility as winter approaches, it is imperative motorists and pedestrians look out for one another...be patient, obey road rules and stay safe while driving.”

Row continues over storm clean-up Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au A WHEELCHAIR bound Mornington woman is demanding more accountability from the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council over the slow clean-up of storm-related damage from as far back as last October.

Karen Ford, who lives in a block of units in Prince Street, said residents had been waiting months for help and had trouble getting any “real answers” from the shire, despite six contacts and requests.

“I’ve called many times but nothing happens,” she said.

“Then, after many calls and emails, I had a web chat with someone who said I didn’t provide a phone number from the beginning, only to backtrack when I proved that I did provide a phone number.”

Ford and her neighbours are not the only ones waiting. The shire has acknowledged it is behind in cleaning up the mess left by storms late last year.

In March, infrastructure services manager Tom Haines-Sutherland said contractors hired by the shire were struggling to keep up with demand, and there were still thousands of jobs to do.

But his claim that the shire had “committed every resource we have to the clean-up” has been rejected by an industry insider who said the shire had not allocated extra resources and had an archaic system of logging, inspecting and following through on bookings.

“I think their systems need some scrutiny, people making customer service inquiries get told things will be 10 days, when in reality people have already been waiting five months,” the man who did not want to be publicly identified said.

The insider said the shire had been given an extra workload without throwing extra resources at the problem.

“The council says it is working around the clock and that is blatantly untrue. They originally said it would be finished by March, but a lot of the jobs have not even been logged yet, there is no possible chance to catch up under this level of resourcing,” he said. “The systems at the shire are breaking down and need a total overhaul.”

The shire on Monday said it had dedicated “every suitable resource to the clean-up effort, including additional subcontractors”.

Since October, there had been more than 3500 requests for assistance and all initial requests for help had now been responded to.

The mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said the October storm was “bigger than any of us anticipated” and the clean-up had been complex.”

ELECTIONS 2022

Candidates go vote-shopping with Cash

Cash helps: Attorney-General Senator Michaelia Cash with Liberal candidate for Flinders Zoe McKenzie, left, and, above, with the Liberals’ Dunkley candidate, Sharn Coombes. Pictures: Supplied

POSSIBLY in the hope of converting Cash into votes, Liberal federal election candidates Zoe McKenzie (Flinders) and Sharn Coombes (Dunkley) were last month photographed in shops with the Attorney General Senator Michaelia Cash.

Faced with the highest cost-ofliving inflation for two decades and stagnant wages growth, the candidates praised small business and the positive effects of the federal government’s JobKeeper program.

For McKenzie, on Facebook, her time with Cash on Thursday 21 April was “a day full of terrific stories of optimism, positivity, small and family businesses into which local families have thrown their lives to create places we all love”.

The previous day Cash was with Coombes for “an exciting afternoon” to launch her Local Plan for Dunkley.

“I am committed to strongly representing our community in Canberra. I will always listen and remember my purpose - to represent you - our beautiful community,” Coombes posted on Facebook.

Since the advent of Cash on the hustings, the two Liberals have jointly announced that, if re-elected, the Scott Morrison-led government would hand over $5 million to complete the Moorooduc-Mornington section of the $50m Peninsula Trail.

Spruiked by Mornington Peninsula Shire as destined to be one of “the great walking and cycling trails of the world”, the Peninsula Trail remains years and at least $35 million away from of being completed (“$35m

extra needed for ‘world class trail’” The News 4/4/22).

About half of the 100km trail is now in place, with the shire so far committing $10 million to the $50 million project, the state government $3 million and federal government, until the

candidates’ promise, $2 million.

Coombes said the trail has the “potential to become one of the great scenic trails of the world”, while McKenzie says it “should be what Cradle Mountain is to Tasmania”.

Keith Platt

Trailblazing: Joining Liberal candidates Sharn Coombes (third from left) and Zoe McKenzie (fifth from left) on the Peninsula Trail are Mornington Rotary Club’s Ross Kilburn, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Lisa Dixon, Tourism and Trade Minister Dan Tehan, shire mayor Anthony Marsh and Graham Rocke from the Mornington Community Safe Link Group.

LABOR WILL TACKLE CLIMATE CHANGE Our plan will:  Boost renewables to 82% of the grid by 2030  Build community batteries for household solar including Flinders  Make electric vehicles cheaper for families  Create more than 600,00 jobs  Cut power bills by $275 each year

LABOR WILL BRING INTEGRITY BACK TO GOVERNMENT Labor will put an end to the scandals, the rorts and the corruption that have characterised the Morrison Government.

An Albanese Labor Government will establish a powerful, transparent and independent National Anti-Corruption Commission.

O’Connor: ‘I’m only viable alternative to Liberals’ INDEPENDENT candidate for Flinders Despi O’Connor says the main parties have “failed” to increase their relevance at the polls, and as an independent she “is likely” to be the only viable alternative to a Liberal candidate for Flinders.

There are 10 candidates standing for Flinders, including the Voices of Mornington Peninsulabacked independent Sarah Russell (“Voices return to election race with second candidate” The News 14/2/22).

“The majority of voters leaving the Liberal Party appear to have shifted their support to independent candidates,” O’Connor said.

“The ALP, the Greens and other minor parties have either failed to meaningfully increase their share of votes since 2013 or have also experienced declines.

“This pattern is remarkable in contrast with Victoria broadly, where declines in Liberal votes have led to increases in ALP vote share.

“Recent polling reveals that this trend is holding true in 2022, with an extraordinary number of voters identifying as ‘unsure’ in March 2022.”

O’Connor says her “community ties, high levels of name recognition [stemming from a year as Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor] and popular policy platform” have “groundswell support”.

She says that despite being “largely ignored by the national media”, Flinders - safely held for the Liberals by retiring MP Greg Hunt for the past 20 years - is one of the toughest fights for the Liberals in the country.

‘Climate action’ call MEMBERS of climate action groups will be at the Fred Smith Reserve, Hastings from 10am on Saturday (7 May) “urging voters to vote for the climate and their local environment”.

Members of the public are being urged to sign an open letter to all federal candidates calling for action on “damaging climate change”.

Candidates in the Flinders electorate have been invited to attend along with business representatives and individuals who have already signed the letter.

Details: openletter.southeast@gmail.com

‘Free dental’ pledge THE Greens have promised that everyone eligible for a Medicare card will get free “clinically relevant dental services” The party says that under its plan, people will be able to choose their dentist and routine and therapeutic dental services will be bulkbilled or rebated.

The $8 billion a year policy, “will be funded by making billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share of tax”.

Greens candidate for Dunkley Liam O’Brien said people in his electorate were “putting off going to the dentist because they can’t afford it”.

Veterans’ centre IF re-elected, the federal Coalition has committed to spending $5 million towards a Veteran Wellbeing Centre on the Mornington Peninsula.

Liberal candidate for Flinders, Zoe McKenzie, said as decision would be made “in coming months” on who would run the centre and where it would be located.

“The centre will be available to all current and former serving Australian Defence Force members, including reservists, and their families,” she said. “We have many veterans and their families living on the Peninsula, so having a dedicated Veteran Wellbeing Centre here is so important and will be hugely beneficial to our community.

“This new local centre will make it easier for veterans, their families and current service personnel to access health and wellbeing support and assist them with finding work.”

The Guide TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

MONDAY

FURY

7MATE, 8.30pm

FRIDAY

This WWII film starring Brad Pitt (pictured) can pride itself on being a grittily realistic, compelling and punishing film about the realities of war and what it can do to the souls of ordinary men. As the Allies make their final push in the European theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy (Pitt) commands a Sherman tank and its fiveman crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, and with a rookie soldier in their crew, Wardaddy and his men face daunting odds in their attempt to stop the Nazis.

Be prepared for confronting scenes, which show the horrors of war.

GARDENING AUSTRALIA

ABC TV, 7.30pm

You may be a late bloomer to gardening, or perhaps you’re a seasoned green thumb; whatever you are, this long-running series sows a seed in viewers’ hearts.

Your future might soon involve your own personal egg supply after being inspired by Costa and Millie Ross’s (pictured) homemade chook run tonight. Jerry ColebyWilliams explores the colourful world of bougainvilleas and Josh Byrne visits a verdant fern garden in Perth’s dry suburbs.

SATURDAY

GRIFF’S CANADIAN ADVENTURE

ABC TV, 6.10pm

The truth about travelling is that it turns many of us into grumps. That’s exactly why witnessing someone else do the tourist thing from the comfort of your own home can be such a delight – especially when its bright-eyed and playful comedian Griff Rhys Jones (pictured). This is a man who sees the funny side of everything and carries a backpack full of awe. His Canadian sojourn is punctuated with unexpected moments and spectacular scenery.

MONDAY

BIG BROTHER

SEVEN, 7.30pm

If you thought you were done and dusted with Big Brother this lifetime, think again.

In a turn of events almost too exciting for fans to process without breaking into a Sara-Marie-style bum dance, this new season, hosted again by Sonia Kruger (pictured), features well-known past contestants. Besides the fact the reality TV pioneer is returning for its 14th season on its third TV network, it’s certainly a sign of a love when past housemates agree to rendez-vous for the mind games and food rationing once again. Among the series’ 21 housemates, the “royalty” includes 2003 winner Reggie Bird, 2004 winner Trevor Butler and farmer Dave Graham (2006).

Time to re-cost and adopt dog poo proposal It is with great relief that I learned of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s withdrawal of its outrageous proposal to ban dogs from public open spaces such as sports ovals and playgrounds (“Call to ‘stay’ over dog policy” The News 26/4/22). its justification being the elimination of dog poo.

The poo is not the fault of the dogs but the fault of their owners who fail to clean up after their animals.

A more enlightened approach would be a combination of education of owners and provision of dog waste bag dispensers and disposal bins in prime dog walking locations.

I have previously approached the shire with a cost proposal for a trial of dog waste dispensers but received a cool nod of negativity from the then council officers.

Fortunately, with a new, more enlightened council better attuned to the needs of the near 30 per cent of peninsula households that are home to a dog, we hope to gain a more positive response to the proposal which I am re-costing.

To achieve this, we hope for the collective.

Support of ratepayer, walking, foreshore and sporting groups as well as dog owners and lovers.

As the late [former RSPCA president] Hugh Wirth once said: “A dog gives back twice as much as we humans do in love and feelings.”

Let’s all look after these creatures that are our best friends.

David Lines, Somerville

Willing independent Only the independent candidate Dr Sarah Russell showed sufficient willingness to front up following my letter to this newspaper calling for the candidates in the Flinders electorate to have a town hall-style debate (“Meet the candidates” Letters 19/4/22).

As for the rest of them, it appears that the prospect of being questioned by voters on things that matter to the local residents is far too taxing when a blizzard of pamphlets, air-brushed photos on outsized billboards, contrived photo opportunities and platoons of identikit sign-waving beaming faces wearing (insert the candidate of your choice) bright t-shirts offers such a far more comfortable alternative.

Dr Russell apart, It appears that all of the other candidates – you know, the ones who are spending truckloads of dollars all to convince you how hard they are working/going to work for you – have at least one thing in common: a determination to sneak into office while seamlessly avoiding any scrutiny from us voters.

May I offer this suggestion to the readers: If they won’t engage with you directly in a public forum, don’t give them your vote, because you’ve seen precisely what they think of you.

Gregory Johnston, Fingal Editor: Organisers say most of the 10 Flinders candidates say they will attend of a “town hall” meeting at 7pm on Wednesday 10 May at the New Peninsula auditorium, corner Craigie Road

and Nepean Highway, Mount Martha.

Liberal knows best The current plague of independent [election candidates] is a threat to transparent democracy in Australia.

They are generally not independent, being funded by organisations run by wealthy individuals with a vested interest in developing “green” agendas to feed their businesses.

While purporting to be independent, invariably the independents will vote with the green-left ALP on issues where they can extract support for their pet fad at the time.

They have no broad policy, no infrastructure other than the narrow green left businesses funding them, and are dominated by their own idealistic agendas, rather than the broader community’s aspirations. They highlight divisiveness.

[Liberal Flinders candidate] Zoe McKenzie has clear and articulated policies covering the breadth of complex issues confronting the country now, representing all electors from all backgrounds and minority and majority groups.

We know where she stands - the wider policies of the Liberal Party - and has a firm grasp of local issues dear to the Flinders electorate.

She is a highly intelligent, reasonable and fair person, committed politician and fiercely proud Australian.

Open and honest government is essential to uniting Australia in these uncertain times, not government by small groups of mysterious idealists prone to hysteria, smear and single issue causes.

Ignore the green-left ALP independents at this election and support our democracy.

Geoff MacFarlane, Portsea

ALP’s electoral failure The prime complaint against Liberal [Flinders] candidate Zoe McKenzie is that she does not promote images of herself with [Prime Minister] Scott Morrison in her campaign material in contrast to the approach of Labor’s last Flinders MHR Bob Chynoweth, 40 years ago (“PM out of picture” Letters 26/4/22). Is that the best argument Labor can muster to reverse 40 years of electoral failure in Flinders?

There is also the lament about “financial mismanagement and incompetence” of the Coalition, refering to the current deficit and the role of JobKeeper in creating debt (“Misleading figures” Letters 19/4/22).

It is somewhat ironic that someone who advocates a vote for [Labor leader Anthony] Albanese to restore the budget, and bring Labor’s alleged expertise to the task, is supporting a party that, when last in office, blew the entire surplus bequeathed to them by [former treasurer Peter] Costello and [former prime minister John] Howard, and when the current government announced the phasing out of JobKeeper screamed that it should be extended to avoid massive unemployment.

The alternative PM a couple of weeks ago could not even recall the highly publicised lowest unemployment figure in over 40 years, or the RBA cash rate, despite the fact it had not changed in years and was the subject of almost daily speculation by economists.

Is it unkind to these correspondents to also remind them that [Prime Minister Scott] Morrison and [Treasurer Josh Frydenberg] have had to manage an economy through a unique global pandemic with public health and economic impacts way beyond the disruption of the GFC. To achieve one of the world’s highest vaccination rates, lowest death rates and best unemployment results with inflation still well below that of comparable advanced economies deserves credit not cheap criticism. William Vickers, Sorrento

Outstanding issues A recent Morgan poll found that only 7 per cent of respondents rated federal politicians as very high or high for ethics and honesty. Such a low finding has obvious implications for trust in government and can easily be exploited by extremist groups as we have seen recently with the anti-vax movement.

Also, recent polling suggests ongoing strong support for a federal integrity and anti-corruption commission. The establishment of such a body could go some way to restoring faith in government processes.

Consequently, it is surprising that the current federal government has washed its hands of setting up such a commission. Its excuse is that the government requires the unconditional support of the opposition.

Putting aside the fact that the government’s proposed body is toothless, and would be ineffective in investigating recent scandals such as sports and car park rorts, since when has a government with a majority in the House of Representatives required the support of the opposition before introducing legislation?

It would be interesting to hear the views of Zoe McKenzie, the Liberal’s Flinders candidate, on this issue.

Unfortunately, in the four, or is it five, flyers that have been received so far there is no mention of integrity in government or indeed several other issues which would be of relevance to the electorate of Flinders, such as aged care and climate change.

There is still time before the election and Ms McKenzie still has an opportunity to make her views known. It is something to which I look forward with great interest.

Geoff Hilton, Mount Martha

Independent’s beliefs It is surprising, at this stage of the election campaign, that of 10 candidates I have seen only one who has clearly articulated a set of policies which are federal government matters of importance to the people of Flinders electorate.

Independent candidate Dr Sarah Russell has explained that her campaign does not have the enormous publicity resources of other candidates, with their funds available from massive corporate donations, but she has invited us voters to go to her website to look at what she offers (“Need candidates’ debate” Letters 26/4/22).

I did that and found it very helpful in explaining her background and the matters which she

believes will yield long and short term benefits to this part of Australia.

I recommend that every reader of this letter does as I did and visit sarahrussell.com.au and then make an easy decision to put her first (or second) on their ballots.

John Stamp, Rosebud

Misguided or misleading Letter-boxed flyers promoting Liberal Flinders candidate Zoe McKenzie position her as an environmental advocate, yet she is standing for the coal-loving, fracking backing, Adani supporting, emissions-target delaying Liberal Party.

Either Ms McKenzie is misguided in her choice of party, or the flyers are to con us that the Liberal Party has green credentials.

Maureen Donelly, Mornington

Not answering As the UAP and LNP are bombarding Mornington Peninsula residents with promotional advertising while other candidates for election in Flinders seem to be constrained by fiscal limitations, I have found that the Liberal candidate has overlooked a very basic communication tool.

By way of email, the address that was on the three promotional pamphlets that have been dropped in my letter box, I asked [Zoe] McKenzie to iterate her positioning along the spectrum of the famed Liberal Party “broad church”.

To date there has not been a reply.

I won’t be voting for a representative who does not have the manners to answer emails even before being elected.

Richard McLoughlin, Dromana

McKenzie ‘recognised’ It is time for voters in the Flinders electorate to get serious, with voting starting on 9 May. The people of this electorate can be confident in the integrity; the dedication to this great community; the strong work ethic; and the broad-based work experience of [Liberal] Zoe McKenzie.

If she is elected as the MP for Flinders she will be a strong advocate for the many great attributes of the Mornington Peninsula - the people, the environment, businesses and infrastructure.

Any other candidate would not have, from the outset, the recognition by the federal parliament that Zoe McKenzie would command from her peers and opposing members. In contrast, people in this electorate are aware of the controversy around [independent] candidate [Despi] O’Connor. Her record while the mayor of Mornington Peninsula Shire was not good. The council’s performance was frequently seen as a shambles by residents concerned about many issues. Now she is on leave as a councillor so she can seek to be the MP for Flinders. This has left her [Briars] Ward short of its proper representation of three councillors. That is not the action of anyone who aspires to be a member of our federal parliament.

In addition, it is not clear what she aims to achieve if elected. The organisation she is [partfinanced] by in this campaign is not transparent to voters. They have very few issues in their focus for the next parliament to achieve; and they are not likely to achieve the outcomes they want voters to believe they can.

OBITUARY

James Edmond (Jim) McGrath – family, community, travel and adventure OBITUARY

James Edmond (Jim) McGrath 20 November 1950 – 21 March 2022

By Peter McCullough WELL known Hastings identity Jim McGrath passed away on 21 March 2022 following a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. He was 71. Left to mourn his loss is Jim’s wife of 49 years (Joy), their three daughters (Cindy, Angela and Bridget), sons-inlaw (Michael and Jim) and his two grandchildren (Isabella and Carter).

Jim’s funeral service was appropriately held at the Hastings Club on 7 April 2022, followed by a private cremation. Son-in-law Michael Taplin was master of ceremonies and the eulogy was delivered by Jim’s eldest daughter, Cindy. Daughter Angela provided a tribute and Bridget read the committal. A further tribute was given by Brian Stahl OAM. This obituary is based on their comments. *** JIM McGrath was born on 20 November 1950 at the Bethlehem Hospital to mother Aileen and father Joe. At the time the family was living in Highett and Jim was the fourth child after Mick, Pat and Jacinta. The children attended St. Agnes’ Primary School in Highett but in the late 1950’s the family moved to Hastings where Jim attended St. Mary’s.

During those early years in Hastings the Hastings Pool was the place to be; it was one of the best around with some great diving boards. Summer after summer Jim and his brothers put the diving boards to good use but it was Jacinta who won a number of trophies in the pool.

Jim attended St. Bedes College in Mentone in his teenage years.

On leaving school he worked in Frankston, initially for an accounting

firm, then in finance and insurance, before joining AMP. It was while working in Frankston that Jim met Joy, the love of his life. A romance developed and they married in Hastings on 4 August 1973. The couple was blessed with three daughters – Cindy, Angela and Bridget – who he adored. In more recent times this deep affection was extended to his two

grandchildren – Isabella and Carter.

Jim always found time to talk to the girls, encourage them in their various pursuits and transport them to training or sporting events. There was always plenty of humour and Jim was frequently the subject of their practical jokes. On one occasion they changed the ring tone on his phone to Justin Timberlake’s ‘Sexy Back’; there was

great amusement the following day when Jim’s phone rang during a business meeting.

In the early 1980’s Jim was at a crossroads; he had built up a successful portfolio of clients but the lease on his office was about to expire and he needed to find a new ‘home’. At the time Jim’s father, Joe, was running a small car yard in Hastings; that is, when he wasn’t out fishing for whiting! Jim took advantage of his father’s offer of some office space, at least until he could find his own office.

Now, running an insurance business out of a car yard isn’t ideal in the best of times, but it gets even harder when people come wandering in and ask questions such as “By the way, Jim, what’s the history on the 1981 Toyota Corona?” Soon enough Jim found himself selling cars and insurance packages faster than he could put them together; it seemed as if he had the knack for this caper! In 1983 Jim and his brother Mick, who was working for Westernport Holden, formed a partnership and, after a few solid years, they purchased some land in Watts Road, Hastings. There the sales growth continued along with the insurance side and, after a while, they became agents for finance companies and personal loans.

With a car yard there was a need for servicing and reconditioning which had to be outsourced. This was proving difficult as the volume of sales increased. Fortunately, eldest brother Pat was a mechanic; he came on board, a small workshop was built on the site, and business boomed.

McGrath Motors had the ability to buy, recondition, sell, finance and insure a vehicle all at the one location.

Jim never became a fisherman like his father, Joe, but thoroughly

enjoyed swimming in his early years.

He never really took to football although he was a passionate Collingwood supporter; family members report that forty years after the event he was still having nightmares caused by the thrashing handed out to the Pies by Richmond in the 1980 Grand Final!

The sport that won Jim over was cricket and he played for Hastings for several decades after starting as a junior. How good was he? Well, probably his enthusiasm outweighed his ability, as reflected in these remarks by his old team mate and long-time friend, Peter Lewis: “Jim, like many of us, enjoyed the game of cricket for what it represented: social inclusion, a few beers, and many laughs at team mates’ expense. As for skills, there were a few occasions where the opposition bowlers bowled at Jim’s bat and one occasion, at Baxter, where he nearly made a ‘ton’; tantalizingly close at 98! There were many occasions where Jim would trudge back to the pavilion having scored a low figure, but it was always ‘a hundred nipped in the bud.’ Jim had two shots (hit or stop), a very suspect bowling action, and throwing a cricket ball was best left to others.”

It was through his involvement in cricket that led Jim to make a significant contribution to the establishment and growth of the Hastings Cricket and Football Social Club, trading as the Hastings Club. When the concept was first mooted in the 1960’s Jim, as a member of Hastings Cricket Club, was supportive. Later, as Club President, he joined the HC+FSC committee. He was made a Life Member in 1985.

In 1992-93 Jim undertook a business course during which he and some fellow students prepared a

business case; based on their findings members of the Hastings Club voted to apply for a Victorian gaming licence and Jim was nominated as the Public Officer. He was appointed Venue Manager in 1994 and prudently led the club until 2016. During those 22 years the club featured in Tattersalls’ ‘George’s Award’ on seven occasions.

During Jim’s time as Venue Manager the constitution was changed, the number of machines was doubled to 50, and the Hastings Club was extended and refurbished. He also guided the Hastings Club through a difficult time when the State Government decided to end the duopoly of Tattersalls and Tabcorp, legislating for venues to enter into an auction per machine to retain their poker machines. A pre-auction offer was made to clubs across Victoria. Jim wisely advised the Hastings Club Committee to hold their nerve and not enter into the pre-auction but instead wait until auction. Heeding Jim’s advice proved a great success as the Hastings Club paid the minimum price of $550 per machine at auction when 93% of other venues across Victoria paid tens of thousands of dollars at pre-auction.

As well as guiding the Hastings Club, Jim also served on the Board of Clubs Victoria and Tattersalls Regional Gaming Forum as well as being a member of the Mornington Peninsula Shire Responsible Gaming

Committee. Jim was also a dependable member of the committee which, after a long journey, saw the erection of the John Coleman statue in Hastings; Jim was the ‘bookkeeper’ for the committee.

With the changes implemented by the State Government, Clubs Victoria morphed into a new organization called Community Clubs Association of Victoria (CCAV). Jim was a member of the inaugural Board. On hearing of Jim’s passing, Leon Weigard (a former President of Clubs Victoria and a member of the inaugural Board of CCAV) sent a message which stated: “Jim was elected Treasurer and did a wonderful job of handling the financial affairs and always made thoughtful and meaningful comments at Board meetings. He was very well thought of by all fellow committee members and by the clubs network in Victoria and was a most reliable, loyal and committed administrator.”

Fourteen years ago Jim was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease but, always enthusiastic travellers, Jim and Joy continued to explore Australia and overseas places of interest.

Both had an adventurous streak which extended from parachute jumping in New Zealand to a hot air balloon trip eight years ago; the latter terminated in an emergency landing in the Exhibition Gardens in Carlton!

The gradual deterioration of Jim’s

health led to the relinquishment of his role as Venue Manager of the Hastings Club in 2016 and, three years later, a move to Traralgon to be closer to his grandchildren. However, Jim’s illness didn’t stop him from doing the things he loved, particularly a round of golf which, although he played in his younger days, had become more important in the post-cricket era. In fact, almost the first thing that he did on arriving in Traralgon was to join the local golf club. He also focused on his health, being a regular at both the gym and swimming centre.

Eventually Jim had reached the point where oral medicine was no longer working and he bravely decided to have deep brain stimulation surgery. This took place on 3 March 2022 and immediately after the surgery Jim felt better than he had for years. However, sadly, complications arose and he passed away while still in hospital.

Jim McGrath managed the Hastings Club from its inception until his retirement 22 years later. It was extremely well conducted and Jim was highly regarded in the industry.

He was affable, loyal, a great conversationalist, and a person who made a significant contribution to the Hastings community. Jim will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Danish researchers solve hip and knee pain from arthritis GLA:D®, or Good Life with Arthritis: Denmark, is an education and exercise program developed by researchers in Denmark for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis symptoms.

What does GLA:D involve?

This education and exercise program reflects the latest evidence in osteoarthritis (OA) research.

It also includes testimonials from people with OA and trains on what works in the real world to help patients manage OA symptoms.

GLA:D Australia training consists of: • A first appointment explaining the program and collecting data on your current functional ability.

• Two education sessions which teach you about OA, how the GLA:D™ Australia exercises improve joint stability, and how to retain this improved joint stability outside of the program.

• Group neuromuscular training sessions twice a week for six weeks to improve muscle control of the joint which leads to a reduction in symptoms and improved quality of life.

You do not need a referral from you Doctor, however you may be eligible for a rebate from Medicare for some of the cost of the program, if deemed appropriate by your GP. Can I participate in GLA:D Australia?

GLA:D™ Australia is a program for all individuals who experience any hip and/or knee osteoarthritis symptoms, regardless of severity.

OA is the most common lifestyle disease in individuals 65 year of age and older but can also affect individuals as young as 30 years of age.

GLA:D as an alternative to surgery Current national and international clinical guidelines recommend patient education, exercise, and weight loss as first line treatment for osteoarthritis.

The GLA:D® program may assist with hip and knee osteoarthritis symptoms.

In Australia, treatment usually focuses on surgery and the GLA:D Australia program offers a safe alternative that may avoid the need for surgery. Research from the GLA:D program in Denmark found symptom progression reduces by 32%.

Other outcomes include reduced pain, reduced use of joint related pain killers, and less people

taking sick leave due to OA. GLA:D participants also reported high levels of satisfaction with the program and increased levels of physical activity 12 months after starting the program.

This program is unique in that the education and exercises provided can be applied to everyday activities. By strengthening

and correcting daily movement patterns, participants will train their bodies to move properly, prevent symptom progression and reduce pain.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

The life of a French Island prisoner Compiled by Cameron McCullough AN interesting scene is enacted about once a month in a small weatherboard room within a few yards of the south eastern home of French Island, in Westernport Bay. On what is known as “board day” at the McLeod Prison Settlement members of the Indeterminate Sentence Board, Messrs. S. Manner (chairman), W. R. Anderson, P. M., and C. A. Topp, supervise the work of the prisoners, who number between 40 and 50, and consider requests of a widely varying nature from the men, who are working out their own salvation on the island.

While awaiting their interview with the board the prisoners are lined up outside the small office which serves as board room, and on being called by name indicate a thousand and one reasons why they should be come possessed of, say, a pen, a mouth organ, a special supply of notepaper, or if they should not be lovers of sea bathing – a back scratcher.

Occasionally a strong plea is made for a reduction of the period of detention at the island. In some cases the requests are complied with, the answer depends largely upon the nature of them.

When an “indulgence” is granted the cost of the article is deducted from the allowance paid to the prisoners for afforestation work.

When the settlement was first estabished about seven years ago tents were provided for half dozen prisoners and staff, who were the pioneers of the camp, but weatherboard cubicles resembling bathing boxes have since

IN THE

been erected by prison labor.

Each man has a cubicle to himself, and many of them have a homely touch about them. Picture frames and similar ornaments have been constructed by many of the men from timber picked up on the island, and these adorn the walls of many of the cubicles.

There also is a small room in which concerts or lectures are given by visitors from the mainland, as well as kitchen, messroom and officers quarters.

A jetty of about 100 yards in length has also been constructed by the prisoners, and this, of course, has rendered the landing of stores and building materials a comparatively easy task.

In their leisure hours the men are permitted to indulge in such pastimes as cricket, football, swimming, fishing, &c.

Sometimes a cricket team will journey from the mainland and play a team selected from the prisoners. On such occasions the wearing of private clothes is allowed.

When engaged in ordinary duties the men wear dungarees. They are not branded with the prison mark, however, and the officers are unarmed.

The training of pets is encouraged, and several of the men devote a considerable portion of their evenings imparting instruction to various kinds of birds and animals captured on the Island.

It might easily be supposes from the foregoing the life of the men is one long picnic. On the contrary, they have to work, and work very hard.

They are engaged for eight hours a

day grabbing, burning off, fencing, ploughing, general nursery work and road making.

Miles of fire breaks are cut annually, swamps are drained, land cultivated and trees planted.

Since the inception of the settlement over one million pine trees have been planted, and some day the State will have a valuable asset in the pine forest.

The afforestation work is carried out under the supervision of officers of the Forestry department, which makes an allowance to the board for the prisoners labor.

A dam has been constructed along the Brella Creek, about one mile from the camp, for the conservation of water, and a pipe line laid to bring water to the settlement.

The supply is sufficient for irrigation as well as for domestic purposes.

Many varieties of vegetables are grown, and in this respect the settlement is self–supporting.

The duties of the men are arduous, but hard work and loyalty to the institution are insisted upon. For their work the men receive about 10s a week, which is placed to their credit and handed to them in a lump sum less deductions for “indulgences”, when they are liberated.

In some cases the men have sums ranging up to £50 paid over to them which assures them the means of sustenance during the critical period in which they are seeking employment.

Occasionally a new arrival from Pentridge will grumble at the work he is called upon to perform, and endeavors to stir up discontent in the camp.

The officers in charge are watch-

ful however, and at the least sign of this sort of thing they act quickly. No warnings are given (the men on entering the camp being informed what is expected of them) but one fine morning at dawn the officers will visit a certain cubicle, call on the occupant, to dress, and escort him silently to a boat, which lies waiting at the jetty.

The prisoner is taken to Lang Lang, and there handed over to waiting policemen, who conducts him once again to the blue–walled establishment on Sydney Road.

As a general rule, however, the men do not abuse the trust imposed on them. Though the regulations require a prisoner to serve a minimum term in a grade to earn promotion to a high grade, he may, for special merit, be promoted much earlier in the discretion of the board.

On the other hand, a prisoner who shows no desire to improve himself, and who gives no cheerful obedience to proper authority, is detained in his grade beyond the minimum time laid down.

According to official figures about 75 per cent of the men dealt with at the island do not relapse into crime. *** THE shire engineer for the Frankston Shire (Lieut. Col. Lazarus) has received notice of his election to the Council of the Institute of Surveyors of Victoria.

He already holds a similar position in the Institute of Municipal Engineers of Australia, Victorian Branch. *** AT the University Commencement last Saturday, Miss Vera C. Jennings

had the degree of Minister of Arts conferred upon her. *** AT the Frankston school last Friday, “Shakespeare Day” was well kept up by the children, who gave scenes from The Merchant of Venice, The Tempest, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The performance was given under the greenwood tree, and the sylvan setting, and beautiful scenes, especially in the fairy scenes, had a fine effect.

The children deserve praise for their industry in memorising some long parts. At the conclusion all gathered round the “Shakespeare oak”, which is growing very well, and received sprouted acorns to plant other Shakespeare oaks. *** MR Vicars has resigned the secretaryship of the Frankston Memorial Fund Committee, and Lieut–Col Lazarus has consented to act until the necessary sum is secured to see the local soldiers comfortably settled in a club room, and the amount necessary to erect a monument commensurate with the growth and population of Frankston.

At the committee meeting held on Tuesday night last, a suggestion was thrown out that when the shire council was making the necessary alterations for offices in their new building very little extra expenditure would be required to provide suitable rooms for billiards and meetings for the soldiers, and part of the money now being raised, spent in that direction. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 5 May 1922

Bonbeach too good for Sorrento in battle of Sharks MPNFL

By Brodie Cowburn

DIVISION ONE

BONBEACH scored a good win at home on Saturday against Sorrento.

Sorrento has had a good start to 2022, but faced stiff competition in Bonbeach.

Former St Kilda player Trent Dennis-Lane starred for Bonbeach. He booted six goals to help get his side a 40 point win.

David Armitage, another former St Kilda player now plying his trade for Bonbeach, contributed two goals to the scoreboard.

Leigh Poholke added another two goals to his tally for the season.

Bonbeach ended up securing the win 15.13 (103) to 9.9 (63).

Frankston YCW’s strong start to the season continued with a comfortable victory over Red Hill last weekend.

The Stonecats hosted the Hillmen at John Coburn Oval. Red Hill struggled to hit the scoreboard all day, which eventually cost them the game.

Frankston YCW defeated Red Hill 8.13 (61) to 5.7 (37). Josh Butland, Josh Patullo, and Dylan Roberton all kicked multiple goals for the victorious Stonecats.

Four goals from Billy Quigley helped Dromana pick up a win on Saturday.

Dromana were on the road against Edithvale-Aspendale. Dromana had to work for it, but eventually claimed a 29 point win 11.7 (73) to 15.12 (102).

Michael Meehan kicked four goals for Edi-Asp, and was their best.

Frankston Bombers defeated Pines on Saturday 10.14 (74) to 7.9 (51).

Mt Eliza kept their momentum going after a good win on ANZAC Day last month. They smashed Rosebud on Saturday 6.2 (38) to 12.8 (80).

DIVISION TWO

Taking a tumble: Mornington couldn't manage to get the better of Seaford, falling to a 13 point loss. Picture: Craig Barrett

KARINGAL emerged victorious after a tight battle with Pearcedale last weekend.

Pearcedale hosted the match on Saturday. The Bulls had to work for it, but they managed to get over the line by 10 points.

Josh Bradley’s four goals proved vital for Karingal. Sam Glenn contributed three goals to the scoreboard.

Karingal defeated Pearcedale 9.11 (65) to 10.15 (75).

Seaford and Mornington also had a competitive match on Saturday.

The Bulldogs had plenty of chances, but their scoreboard accuracy cost them the game. Seaford capitalised on Mornington’s goal kicking woes, running out 10.13 (73) to 7.18 (60) winners.

Damien Rayson booted three goals for Seaford.

Things were much less competitive in the other Division Two matches last weekend. Chelsea smashed Hastings by 91 points, Somerville defeated Tyabb by 90 points, Devon Meadows ran out 77 point winners over Rye, and Langwarrin easily beat Crib Point.

McCabe gets the 'monkey off the back' HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou AFTER four years out of the saddle, former trainer, now returned jockey Adam McCabe has claimed his first winner back.

McCabe, who returned to race riding in February this year, combined with Mornington-based trainer Paul Rocke to win comfortably aboard State Of Class at Moe last Monday 25 April.

The 31-year-old jock who shares his riding duties between Mornington and Cranbourne trainers was thrilled to knock off his first winner back.

“You can start to overthink it when you’re running around the mark and getting placings on the lower grade horses,” McCabe said. “It’s good to get the monkey off the back now and

start to get some consistency going.

We’ve got one away and there should plenty more to come.”

McCabe, who trained five winners (and 12 placegetters) from his 56 starters as a trainer, made the call to return to riding earlier this year.

With his four-year-old son Phoenix at the forefront of his mind, McCabe decided the change would be for the better.

“I trained for four years and had fairly good success with the horses I had with me, but it just wasn’t something I could maintain doing,” he said.

While he expected it to take time to find his groove again, the already accomplished jock with over 200 winners to his name said it’s started to pick up quicker than he initially thought.

“The first thing I had to get under control was my weight. Once I got it to a manageable weight, it was pretty much back to square one,” he said.

“I had to ride in 20 jumpouts and then 10 official trials and get the tick of approval before then being allowed back at the races. It was a long process but to be honest it wasn’t too bad.

“I had to get my eye back in but now that it is I’m actually getting some nice opportunities.”

With his first winner out of the way, McCabe said his next six months would be focused on trying to build some consistency.

“I just want to try keep the weight right and start riding consistently and everything should really start to fall in place.”

Seagulls in crisis, CJ bows out SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie MORNINGTON’s injury crisis, CJ Hodgson’s playing finale and Rosebud’s drought-breaking win in a ninegoal thriller were major talking points in an action-packed round 7 of the league season.

Mornington’s woes started over a week ago when marquee striker Josh Hine was rushed to hospital and underwent an emergency appendectomy.

He is expected to miss between four and six weeks.

First-choice keeper Taylor Davidson was expected to return from suspension last weekend but on Friday he was in hospital having wisdom teeth removed.

Davidson’s replacement Josh Gates broke down during the warm-up on Saturday and reserves keeper Jerry Swift was thrust into the role.

During Saturday’s 2-0 home win over South Springvale – thanks to Josh Heaton’s first half header and Matt Harrington’s second half strike – the Seagulls also lost Luke Goulding (dislocated shoulder), John Maclean (dislocated shoulder) and Harrington who was yet to be diagnosed as we went to press but was wearing a moon boot and may have a metatarsal injury.

Star Scottish import Rhys Craigie came off the bench in the second half but had not been available since the opening match of the season while recovering from an adductor strain and Sam Scott landed awkwardly against Fitzroy City in round 5 and looks set to miss another week at least with a foot injury.

Not that the club’s off-field situation has been immune to upheaval.

The vacancy left by Nathan Peel’s recent resignation as assistant coach was filled by Gerry McDonagh who is in his second stint at Dallas Brooks Park.

McDonagh is a former Berwick City head coach and has had assistant roles at Bentleigh Greens and Dandenong City.

He was thrust into the spotlight last weekend along with Marty Ashton as they were in charge of first team duties while head coach Adam Jamieson was in isolation.

Mornington is in talks with two NPL players – a defender and a striker – and hopes to complete negotiations this week as it prepares for a crunch clash with high-flying Malvern City at Kooyong Park on Saturday.

In NPL2 Langwarrin drew 2-2 with Moreland Zebras at Lawton Park on Saturday.

A stunning left-foot strike from out-

side the box by Davide Cardamone in first-half injury time gave the visitors the lead at the interval but Mawien Nielo levelled in the 56th minute when he got to Jeremy Min Fa’s cross before Zebras keeper Fraser Chalmers and headed into the unguarded goal.

In the 85th minute Kieran Dover surged forward from the left and slipped the ball inside to substitute Jacob Brito whose shot was blocked.

The ball fell into Dover’s path and he slammed it past Chalmers for what looked like the winner.

But a minute into injury time Moreland snatched a point when a corner to the far post was headed down to the visitors’ captain Nichola Symeoy who poked the ball home from point-blank range.

In State 2 Peninsula Strikers’ perfect record ended at six straight wins when it went down 2-1 to Skye United in atrocious conditions at Skye Recreation Reserve on Friday night.

Referee Luke Vaira chose to go ahead with the contest albeit that driving rain had made it difficult for the ball to roll properly across many parts of the pitch.

Skye hit the front after nine minutes when Brett Heskins headed home a Jason Nowakowski cross and doubled the lead 20 minutes later when Daniel Attard’s well-placed strike from Oscar Marsden’s cross gave Strikers’ keeper Ben Caballero no chance.

An injury to Skye striker Caleb Nicholes forced him to be replaced by Mitch Blake in the 43rd minute and two minutes later Blake and Strikers’

in great touch early and needed to be but in the 37th minute Lachie McMinimee’s excellent lay-off was stroked home by Baxter substitute Nat Daher who had come on for injured Charlie O’Connell six minutes earlier.

Sandown pressed hard for the equaliser in the second half but Baxter central defender Sunday Kim was superb.

The visitors thought they’d wrapped up the result when they appeared to bundle the ball over the line in the 70th minute but the referee overruled the assistant’s decision and waved play on.

Six minutes later Sandown equalised through Duol Kuei but Baxter kept going and got the result it deserved when Dave Greening did what Greening does best slamming home the winner in the 86th minute.

Chelsea played most of the second half with 10 men but held on for a 1-0 away win over Lyndale United last weekend.

Piers Brelsford’s excellent turn and shot in the 15th minute proved decisive.

Chelsea’s Danny Graham was sent off in the 58th minute when shown a second yellow card.

Somerville Eagles lost 3-1 away to Endeavour United.

Somerville was never in the hunt and the home side led 3-0 at half-time.

The contest had been settled well before Sam Beadle’s goal in the 82nd minute.

defender Michael Nugent were involved in an off-the-ball clash that saw Nugent sent off.

The second half was an ugly affair as a deteriorating pitch did not make for great viewing and Riley Anderton poked home Strikers’ sole reply in the 89th minute.

In State 3 CJ Hodgson’s playing days ended when Pines drew 2-2 at home against Elwood City.

It was his well-publicised 250th final appearance for the local club as injury had forced him into an early retirement but it certainly wasn’t without incident.

The large crowd was treated to a combative contest between two sides who have the championship firmly in their sights.

It was 1-1 at the interval after Elwood’s Cameron Neales converted a penalty in the 17th minute and Thomas Dunn’s slick footwork was finished by Dylan Waugh late in the half.

Straight after the restart Marinos Panayi put Pines 2-1 up and when Hodgson was substituted after being in the starting line-up both sets of players formed a guard of honour to usher him to the Pines’ bench.

But there was no fairytale ending despite Pines’ keeper Tom Hull saving a second Elwood penalty as Barry Devlin spoiled the party with a 90th minute equaliser.

In State 4 Baxter made it three wins in a row when it beat Sandown Lions 2-1 at Sandown last weekend for the first time.

Sandown keeper Sammy Salah was

Reserve on Saturday.

Aspendale was on top early and Ben Garside put it in front with a closerange finish.

Hayden Hicks kept Rosebud in the contest with some great saves and new Rosebud signing Petros Kourounis levelled following a Harris Battison corner in the 40th minute.

Blake Hicks gave Rosebud a 2-1 half-time lead when he converted a penalty awarded after a Rieley Gill volley was handled inside the box.

Early in the second half a Blake Hicks’ through ball set up Gill who took one touch then slotted it past Aspendale keeper Josh Mravljak to make it 3-1 and a superb free-kick from returning veteran Mark Pagliarulo made it 4-1 after 52 minutes.

The home side hit back through Dominic Paul in the 60th minute but seven minutes later Blake Hicks took on two defenders before rounding Mravljak and effecting a cool finish to restore Rosebud’s three-goal cushion.

A Ryan McKay own goal a minute later made it 5-3 then Aspendale was rewarded for constant pressure with a penalty only for Hayden Hicks to make a remarkable double save.

But as good as the Rosebud keeper was he couldn’t stop Paul from grabbing a second goal in the 90th minute to complete the scoreline in a contest highlighted by great displays from the Hicks brothers.

In the other local State 5 fixture Mount Martha had a weekend to forget when it lost 8-1 away to promotion contender White Star Dandenong.

Mount Martha coach Chris Sanderson was blunt in his match assessment.

“We just didn’t get close enough to them all game and when we did they were stronger in the challenges,” he said.

David Oswald scored for Mount Martha.
