Labor enters campaign for Flinders Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE battle for the seat of Flinders in the May federal election became a three-cornered contest on Friday with Labor announcing Josh Sinclair as its candidate. Mr Sinclair was campaign manager for Chris Brayne, who won the seat of Nepean in last year’s (24 November) state election. He was later appointed as Mr Brayne’s office manager. Mr Sinclair’s official endorsement by Labor follows reports last month that Tracee Hutchison would be the party’s
candidate. However, Ms Hutchison, a broadcaster and journalist, later said she would not be a candidate despite giving it serious consideration and being “flooded” with support and encouragement (“All quiet on Labor front for Flinders” The News 13/2/19). Held for the Liberal Party by Greg Hunt since 2001, Flinders is also being contested by former Liberal and now independent, Julia Banks (“Hunt under pressure of coup fallout” The News 6/2/19). Ms Banks, elected as a Liberal to the seat of Chisholm in 2016, quit the party in the wake of the overthrow of Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister.

The party’s MPs elected Scott Morrison as prime minister after an unsuccessful leadership attempt by Peter Dutton and Mr Hunt to become prime minister and deputy party leader. The state seat of Nepean won by Mr Brayne with Mr Sinclair as his campaign manager, had been held by Martin Dixon for the Liberals by 16 years. The Liberal candidate, Russell Joseph, blamed the turmoil following the overthrow of Mr Turnbull for much of the party’s loss of support on the Mornington Peninsula (“Federal Liberals blamed for lost support” The News 4/12/19). Mr Joseph said the “Dutton-Hunt
THE GRAND MEAL DEAL
ticket” was “particularly felt down here [on the peninsula]”. He said it was a problem that he felt would linger and affect the outcome of the coming federal election. Giving further impetus to the Flinders campaign will be next week’s a “federal election launch” in Mornington by the left wing lobby group, GetUp. The organisation’s pre-launch publicity urges voters to “learn more about that strategy and the role you can play in your community to help knock off the hard right MPs who are wrecking our politics”. GetUp’s launch starts 6.30pm
Wednesday 13 March at The Studio, Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Road, Mornington. Mr Sinclair said on Friday that he did not know about GetUp’s impending involvement in Flinders. “I’m just relieved that [Labor] can start campaigning as from today,” he said. “I wanted to make sure we chose a local candidate with a strong local connection. “Thankfully, the administrative committee and local branches agreed [to my candidature].” Mr Sinclair predicted the campaign would be “a very fast 90 days”.

Dob in a dealer to break drug cycle MORNINGTON Peninsula residents are being asked to help the police disrupt the manufacture and supply of drugs in the community by reporting anything they know about offenders. The nation-wide Dob in a Dealer campaign paid for by the federal government aims to stop the supply of drugs, such as methylamphetamine (ice), cocaine, MDMA, heroin and cannabis. It also gives residents an opportunity to support their friends, families and colleagues by voicing their suspicions about who is dealing in drugs in their area. Crime Stoppers Victoria’s Cassandra Joyce said public support played a crucial role in police intervention against criminals and organised crime gangs who make and supply drugs, often to vulnerable users. “Criminal drug related activity is not only costing millions of dollars in healthcare and law enforcement, but it is tragically and unnecessarily costing lives,” Ms Joyce said. “At Crime Stoppers we see community information play a pivotal role in solving crime every day, so please get behind this campaign and report what you know.” Inspector Janene Denton emphasised the importance of community involvement in addressing the import, manufacture and supply of illicit drugs. “Residents of the peninsula are proactive in addressing criminal activity and we are calling on the community to work together to stop the supply and distribution of drugs,” she said. Anyone with information about someone who is manufacturing or dealing drugs should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or report them online at crimestoppers.com.au. Reports can be anonymous.

Busy week for cheaper cat desex service Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au AN animal welfare body offering subsidised cat desexing on the Mornington Peninsula has been kept busy. The Humane Society for Animal Welfare launched the pilot project Thursday 20 February as a “trial to be evaluated past the initial response”. Save Mornington Pound Animals organiser Rosy Fischer, who is assisting the group, said 70 vouchers were requested by residents in the first week. The service will target cats in the Rosebud and Hastings areas, which Ms Fischer says are “the worst areas for all pets with most of the impounded pets coming from these areas”. Ms Fischer said Frankston and Dandenong councils offered pensioners’ cat desexing at reduced rates and “can't understand why Mornington Peninsula Shire doesn’t offer the same”. Veterinarian Victoria Stefani confirmed the clinic’s participation in the program. “Yes there is a problem with cats on the Mornington Peninsula,” she said. “We see many feral and other cats that are pregnant and without owners. “Many are out at night despite the shire having a 24-hour curfew on cats roaming outside their own properties.” The Australian Veterinary Association is “trying to get shire councils on board” offering subsidised rates for cat desexing”, Ms Stefani said. The shire offers no discounts to

financially disadvantaged residents to have their pets desexed, despite initial plans to reallocate the $80,000 saved from the former Pet Expo axed in mid-2017 to “to stop uncontrolled breeding and reunite lost pets with their owners”. Last week, environment protection
manager John Rankine said “desexing services for cats and dogs are provided through veterinary clinics”. “We encourage the desexing of animals and also encourage owners to attend their community vet for promoting health and wellbeing,” he said. “There are cheaper options and
desexing schemes for low-income earners available through Lost Dogs Home and RSPCA.” Reclaimed cats cannot leave the animal shelter until they are desexed and microchipped. Ms Fischer said people in disadvantaged areas of the peninsula “under-
stand the importance of desexing their cats but find the costs prohibitive”. “Desexing leads to fewer unwanted animals being born, but also offers other advantages for cats, such as less wandering and spraying by tomcats, and less fighting leading to fewer injuries,” she said. “Fewer unwanted animals means fewer at the pound and fewer being killed.” The Lost Dogs Home sponsors a vets’ van which visits various councils and shires charging about $54 for cat desexing and microchipping. Frankston and Dandenong councils provide pet desexing vouchers to pensioners. The cost of Humane Society for Animal Welfare subsidised desexing is $20 for male cats and $50 for females. Eligible participants must hold a health care or pension card. To take advantage of the offer call Julie 10am-12 midday and 4-6pm, Monday to Friday and 10am-1pm Sunday on 5156 1296 or 0423 682 158. Vouchers can be redeemed at Mornington Veterinary Clinic, 4/1140 Nepean Highway, Mornington, call on 5975 3811. Take the cat to the clinic, show the voucher as well as a health care/pension card, photo identification and pay either $20 or $50 up front. Kittens must weigh at least a kilogram. Mornington Veterinary Clinic is accessible by bus services 781, 784, 785 and 788. Cats can be taken on the bus in a cat cage.

Looking into climate change and the bay’s future THE CSIRO is leading studies into the likely effects of climate change along the Port Phillip coastline. “This project is an important piece of the puzzle in understanding what climate change means for Victoria’s natural and built environments,” Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) project manager, Dr Tamara van Polanen Petel said. The department is one. The project – which involves government departments and bayside municipalities - will assess the extent of three key coastal hazards: inundation, coastal erosion, and groundwater change – under several climate change scenarios. “We know that climate change is happening, and we know that it can create coastal hazards,” Ms van Polanen Petel said. “What we don’t currently understand is the extent of those hazards and the kind of impacts we will see along the coastline.” Ms van Polanen Petel said climate change could lead to flooded roads, eroded cliffs and “inland waters becoming saltier”. “It’s important that this modelling work happens so that land managers, including government departments and councils, can consider how best to plan for, build and manage coastal areas in the years to come.” The Port Phillip Bay Coastal Hazard Assessment is the fifth assessment of its kind in Victoria, with similar studies being completed for Western Port, Port Fairy, Bellarine/Corio Bay and Gippsland Lakes/90 Mile Beach The CSIRO will draw on data from across government, industry and research sectors with a view to completing the assessment early next year. Ms van Polanen Petel said DELWP is working closely with 10 bay-area councils – including Frankston and Mornington Peninsula - Parks Victoria, Melbourne Water, the bay’s two catchment management authorities, the Association of Bayside Municipalities and traditional owners. Keith Platt
Three holes have been drilled above Mt Martha Beach North to help monitor movement within the cliffs. A tube inserted into the borehole will allow the Department of Environment Lands Water and Planning to measure movement in the cliffs, which have crumbled in several places over the past few years. Rocks were placed at the bottom of the cliffs later last year in a bid to prevent further erosion by the sea. DELWP Port Phillip Program Manager Land and Built Environment John Downs said the cliff top bores were “part of the ongoing works at Mt Martha to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the recent emergency revetment”. Stress cracks are evident in the bitumen on the Esplanade just south of Alice Street, near the first borehole.

Continued from Page 1 Mr Hunt, the Health Minister, holds Flinders with a 7.7 per cent margin after defeating Labor’s Carolyn Gleixner and four other candidates at the 2016 election. Mr Sinclair unsuccessfully stood against Mr Hunt at the 2013 election which saw 10 candidates for the “traditional” Liberal seat. The News last week received complaints about a phone call from Mr Hunt’s office. “The tele town hall was not a recording or robo call. Unlike the union led and GetUp’s robo calls, the tele town hall was a live, personal, interactive conversation with the community where they could ask the minister [Mr Hunt] and Treasurer [Josh Frydenberg] questions and discuss local issues,” Mr Hunt’s media contact, Matthew Langdon said. “In regards to robo calls, our office has received numerous reports of negative robo calls from within the electorate, with many shocked and offended by the vile nature of their messaging and lack of a plan to improve the Flinders electorate. “The town hall was paid for out of a communications budget which is the same for all Federal MPs and conducted using publicly available data.”

Light relief to huffing, puffing IT’S getting hot and crowded on the stairs at Birdrock Beach, Mt Martha. While some visitors are happy to enjoy the scenery and tranquillity, others seem more concerned about beating their personal best times as they rush up and down. Regular stair walker Rob Dawson, of Mt Martha, says barbs are often exchanged between the groups and admits his occasional comments have drawn return fire. To lighten the mood, Mr Dawson has penned light-hearted poems which he thinks encapsulate the method – and the madness – of the bustling scene. He places them along the fence near the stairs along with pads and pencils so others can contribute their own thoughts. The keen musician’s rhymes often provoke a response. “Yes, I’ve had some interesting reactions,” he said. “Some people get angry and abuse me while others support me. Some suggest I call Lifeline or begin therapy.” Let the reader be the judge: Angry stairs at Birdrock If ya go down to Birdrock You’ll find a lot of stairs Fitness nuts in lycra Like to gather there Water bottles and mobiles Racing up and down Oblivious to the beauty Or pedestrians who are found Enjoying the scenery, taking in the view No time for that, there are PBs to do Butts to be lifted, abs to be exposed Stress on their faces, in their fancy clothes Stairs are getting creaky from constant use Locals are frustrated, anger and abuse Solution to the problem Sorta hard to see Hope the councils got, good public liability.

Classical collector at shop centre Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MURRAY Mandel has taken his talents to the road in a bid to raise money for Lifeline. The 65-year-old classical guitarist is two years into a three-year journey on behalf of the national 24-hour crisis support phone service. Lifeline volunteers provide suicide prevention services, mental health support and emotional assistance, either by phone, face-to-face and online. Mendel, right, who lives in Sydney, began his travelling troubadour lifestyle from Canberra in March 2016 with hopes of being back there by 9 March 2020. He has a 75-song repertoire of classical pieces, some of which he’ll be playing at Bentons Square shopping centre from next Thursday (7 March) to Saturday. As well as notching up the kilometres on his journey and raising nearly $50,000 for Lifeline, Mandel is setting some sort of record for media appearances: newspapers, radio and TV ( 74 newspaper articles, 45 radio interviews and 13 TV local evening news broadcasts so far). Mornington is just one of 150 destinations on his tour (and an extra newspaper article). Before taking up classical guitar in 2010, Mandel’s career included 34 years as a microbiologist (27 at the Royal Hobart Hospital). He has also been qigong/tai chi instructor for 36 years.
These two forms of physical exercise and stretching are combined with mindfulness, with research appearing to show tai chi can improve balance control, fitness, and flexibility. They both involve relaxation and slowness. Mandel says he took up raising money and awareness for Lifeline “out of a sense of compassion”. He hopes his “live background of soothing’ classical guitar music” is enjoyed by shoppers. Equipped with a hearing aid, Mandel is almost totally deaf in both ears due to “imbalance of the oxygen tent” he was placed in for about 20 minutes after being born. His education began in deaf classes in kindergarten and primary school until his primary school’s special teacher, with approval from his parents, “gambled on sending me to normal hearing secondary school, which was very rare at that time”. “Must have the music pieces in front of me when playing the guitar due to my profound deafness,” he says. “Which is a different way from the other normal hearing musicians.” Mandel’s CV also includes stints as a concrete contractor, kitchen hand, landscaper, “rag trade” production manager and working at a backpacker hostel. But for now, he’s a busker with a cause. Watch out for Murray Mandel at Bentons Square shopping centre from this Thursday through to Saturday. For help from Lifeline call 131 114 . Picture: Yanni
Gateway guardians PROTESTERS against the Kaufland “mega store” being built on the Bata Shoes site in Nepean Highway, Mornington are taking to the streets, with John and Lorraine Smythe spelling out their opposition in signs near Oakbank Road last week. “We are organising local residents, traders and other interested parties to join our campaign,” their neighbour and fellow Oakbank Road resident Janet Street said. “We hold an information table on Wednesdays at the Main Street market and will be organising large crowds to be outside each hearing day in Mornington to protest against Kaufland. “The proposal includes a 430 vehicle car park and 4000 square metre retail outlet which will directly compete with established retailers in the shopping precinct. “A 20-metre sign which will be the first thing people will see when driving into Mornington: the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula.” Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has no say in the German giant’s bid. Planning minister Richard Wynne has set up an advisory panel to take submissions and hold public hearings before deciding on Kaufland’s proposed six sites across Melbourne.

Into battle: The Elvis air crane empties its over the Shoreham blaze. Picture: Yanni
Air and land effort to fight blaze MORE than fire-fighting appliances, as well as three Elvis air cranes and two helicopters, tackled a fast-moving bushfire at Shoreham, Thursday 28 February. An emergency warning was issued for people living south-east of the blaze about 1.45pm, however this was downgraded to a watch-and-act about 4pm. A CFA spokesperson described the fire in a plantation off Punty Lane, between Shoreham and Mornington-
Flinders roads, as a “dynamic scene” confronting firefighters on the ground and the helicopters operating out of Tyabb Airport. She said the fire was threatening homes on Tucks Road and moving south fanned by fresh northerly winds towards Western Port and Flinders. No cause for the blaze had been established “at this early stage”. Ground crews stayed overnight to keep an eye on possible flare ups. Shoreham Road resident Richard
Whitehead said he had urged the CFA earlier in the week to declare Thursday a Day of Total Fire Ban. “The fire came close to us,” he said. “At 11am it was south of our property. We were worried about a wind change from the south.” Friday’s weather made the situation equally unnerving. “It’s getting hot, there’s a dry wind getting up and any spark could do it,” he said.

its so “shop employees who currently park all day [there] would have to go elsewhere”. Mike Newman, of Dalsten Grove, said residents had described the dangers they faced daily, particularly in Dalsten Grove where there is no footpath. He said they were forced to share the road already narrowed by parked cars on both sides and made more dangerous by speeding vehicles. He said Woodland Close residents used Dalsten Grove to access Canadian Bay Road and had to endure the same pedestrian issues at that corner which was a “bottleneck”. “Clarkestown Avenue has a footpath and parking on one side only as far as Davies Avenue. After that, there is no footpath and cars park on both sides,”
he said. Mr Newman said rubbish collections in the dead-end street were a problem as the truck was unable to turn and had to reverse out and come back the next day (Saturday) when there were fewer parked cars. The meeting was told the Woolworth’s supermarket building had exacerbated parking woes, with only eight car parking spaces allocated for staff. The others then park in Dalsten Grove and Clarkestown Avenue. Crs Clarke and Colomb and the traffic and compliance staff considered and commented on the residents’ suggestions, such as erecting better traffic management signs and methods, other than those in general use by VicRoads, which were described as “non-existent
at the moment”. The shire’s infrastructure strategy and climate change manager Davey Smith said “parking management, other signage and communicating with the owners of surrounding privately owned car parks will be investigated” as a result of the “recent increase in onstreet parking at Clarkestown Avenue and Dalsten Grove in Mt Eliza”. Mr Newman said residents were pleased the officers had acknowledged that reduced parking for local businesses “was a cause for concern and the shire have been in discussions regarding this”. He said residents were confident that construction of a footpath would have its “place in the priority list reassessed”.

RESIDENTS in the Dalsten Grove area of Mt Eliza are concerned about the safety of mainly elderly pedestrians near Canadian Bay Road as they approach the shopping precinct. They are “desperate for council traffic management action” on the roads which they say are lined with cars of shop staff who “park on both sides of the road all day plus other vehicles entering and exiting Dalsten Grove”. Complaints from residents in Dalsten Grove, Woodland Close and Mews and Clarkestown Avenue, led to the deputy mayor Cr Rosie Clark and Cr Bev Colomb to hold a public meeting also at-
tended by traffic and compliance officers at the shire’s Queen Street offices, Wednesday 20 February. “There was a lot bigger turnout than the shire expected, with about 60 people there,” organiser Clare Harwood said. “The shire had expected only about 15 people and they were taken aback, with the meeting room hurriedly rearranged to accommodate the swollen numbers.” Another 20 letters from residents had been forwarded to the shire before the meeting. Suggestions put forward included constructing a footpath as far as 15 Dalsten Grove as “parked cars don’t seem to be a problem” after that property and introducing parking time lim-

NEWS DESK Police patrol
With Stephen Taylor
Appeal for witnesses SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol officers are appealing for witnesses after two incidents – one fatal – in Somerville and surrounding suburbs last week. In the first incident a motorcyclist in his 50s died when he collided with a utility in Somerville, 4.30pm, Monday 25 February. Police said the white Holden ute was being driven erratically, first in Bungower Road about 4pm, and then travelling north on Tyabb-Tooradin Road, when it collided with the southbound motorbike at 4.25pm. A black Holden Commodore then crashed into the utility. The driver of the utility and the female passenger in the Commodore were taken to hospital with minor injuries. Police are also seeking witnesses to another incident in which a motorbike was seen being driven erratically in Frankston North overnight, Thursday 28 February. Police said they saw it speeding along Frankston-Dandenong Road with a pillion passenger aboard at 3.30am and attempted to intercept it on Cranbourne Road. The bike kept going through Moorooduc, Hastings and Mt Martha on Peninsula Link, Moorooduc Highway and the Nepean Highway, where it was seen crossing onto the wrong side of the road. The pillion passenger may have been dropped off near South Beach Road. The rider later abandoned the bike on Crib Point Road before fleeing on foot. Police and the dog squad arrested a 33-year-old Crib Point man soon after in Creswell Street. He was taken to hospital for observation and was under police guard, Friday. The passenger is yet to be found. Anyone who saw either incident or who has dash-cam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000
ing hit from behind, 12.20pm, Wednesday 27 February. Leading Senior Constable Greg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said the 34-year-old Mornington man in a Mazda BT50 was turning right into George Street when hit by a Toyota Hi Ace van. He was taken to Frankston Hospital for treatment. Investigations are continuing.
Train incident TRANSIT detectives are investigating the attempted robbery of items belonging to a 55-year-old man who boarded a Frankstonbound train at Richmond station, 1.18am, 4 August last year. They have released this image of a man, right, seen getting off the train at Kananook station who may be able to assist with their inquiries. He was last seen walking towards the Frankston CBD.
Multiple pile up
Speedsters nabbed SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol nabbed 239 motorists speeding during Operation Hisser, which ran from December to mid-February. It targeted speeding on high risk or high speed rural roads on the Mornington Peninsula. Of those pulled over 41 were prosecuted for low level speeding (less than 10kph over the limit) and 11 were detected at loss-of-licence speeds. Acting Senior Sergeant Dave Collins said that while the number of detections was high, the “majority of motorists were travelling within the speed limit, which contributed to lower trauma on our roads, with only one serious-injury collision on the targeted roads in the operation”. He said road policing efforts would continue day and night on Frankston and Mornington Peninsula roads. Speed measuring devices include Moving Mode Radar (checking both approaching/receding vehicles when the police car is on the move) and Laser devices. “Don’t exceed the speed limit and none of this will be your concern,” Senior Sergeant Collins said. “You will also be making our roads a safer place.”
Horse struck A HORSE was hit by a car after it ran onto Mornington-Tyabb Road, near Derril Road, 6am, Thursday 28 February. Leading Senior Constable Greg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said it was not clear how the horse broke free from a nearby property and ran in front of the Toyota HiAce utility. The horse died at the scene.
Highway crash A MAN was taken to Frankston Hospital with a fractured wrist after a crash on Moorooduc Highway, early Thursday 28 February. The 38-year-old Abbotsford man driving a Holden Caprice ploughed through a fence near Santa’s Place, opposite the Bentons Road roundabout, 5.25am.
Trapped after collision A MOTORIST in Nepean Highway, Dromana, was trapped in his ute for 20 minutes after be-
A FOUR-car pile-up in Moorooduc, 4.50pm, Wednesday 27 February, has police blaming a “lack of concentration”. A Holden Astra in Eramosa Road West waiting to turn into Derril Road was run into from behind by a Holden Cruz which, a few minutes later, was run into by a second Holden Cruz. Seconds later a Mitsubishi Pajero being driven in the opposite direction collided with the three Holden cars before veering across the road and up an embankment. Taken to Frankston Hospital were a 52-year-old Mt Martha man; 40-year-old Hastings woman and a 22-year-old Somerville woman. A 33-yearold Tyabb woman was unhurt.
House break-in ITEMS valued at $1500 were stolen from a house in Nepean Highway, Mornington, overnight, Thursday 21 February. Detectives said the owner returned home to find the back door forced and clothing, DVD player, two Samsung mobiles, swag, Bolle sunglasses, Sony camera and tomahawk missing.
Items taken TWO Rinnai hot water services still in their boxes and tiling tools all valued at $2000 were stolen from townhouses being built in Mornington, overnight, Tuesday 26 February. Detectives said the offenders gained access to the Portrush Grove properties through a garage.

Firefighter chooses Swiss option to leave Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au TROY Thornton, the former officerin-charge at Mornington Fire Station who chose to end his life in a Swiss euthanasia clinic last week, left behind a loving family, many friends and a message to legislators. Mr Thornton, 54, who suffered from multiple system atrophy, said in an interview with website Starts at 60: “The Victorian euthanasia legislation needs to be modified to enable people like me with a chronic degenerative disease to have access to the law, not only those defined as ‘terminal’. “As a first-responder I have seen too many traumatic suicides and suicide attempts. An assisted suicide in Australia would reduce the trauma not only for emergency services personnel but for the families and friends affected by such deaths. “Australian doctors can, and do, withhold the necessary medical reports and documentation needed by the Swiss authorities for an assisted suicide. This makes the process of gaining approval in Switzerland even more difficult.” Mr Thornton, who was diagnosed in mid-2014, was told there were no treatments for the progressive neurodegenerative disorder and no prospect of recovery. A miserable death can take years to come. He chose to end it on his terms accompanied by his wife Christine, Friday 22 February. His sad passing was made even worse by Victoria’s assisted-dying laws which prevented him dying at home with his friends and family, in-

cluding children Laura, 14, and Jack, 17. They had to say goodbye to their father at the airport before he boarded a plane to Switzerland to end his life. A friend flew home with Christine
afterwards. Victoria is set to become the first Australian state to legalise voluntary assisted dying, but Mr Thornton was unable to qualify because he could not
find two doctors willing to say with absolute certainty that he would die within 12 months – a condition to access the legislation in his case. Frustrated by the stalemate, he urges
voters to tell politicians they want control of their end-of-life choices. Messages of condolence flooded onto social media from former colleagues at Mornington, Mt Martha and Langwarrin fire stations last week: “It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we inform the community that our friend Troy Thornton passed away in Switzerland after making the brave choice to end his suffering.” “Troy was a hard working active father at home and he was also a firefighter with the CFA for 30 years.” “All the best, mate. It's been an honour.” Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke, a former firefighter, added: “Our friend Troy Thornton passed away in Switzerland after making the brave choice to end his suffering. “Troy was exceptionally intelligent, funny, a gifted sportsman, an exceptional firefighter and friend to us all. “After working with Troy for years, I am feeling devastated by his passing and I know so many of his colleagues and friends will be feeling the same, but we are also happy that Troy was in control to the end.” Mr Thornton was assisted in his journey by pro-euthanasia campaigner Philip Nitschke of Exit International. He was put in touch with the Life Circle clinic which also helped Australia’s oldest scientist, Dr David Goodall, end his life last year. A Mornington Peninsula fire fighter’s post ended: “Your shift is over mate, your brothers and sisters will take it from here.”

ORIGINALLY from Mauritius, Ian Ross moved with his family to Melbourne in 1985, growing up in the Wheelers Hill and Glen Waverley areas. His family in Mauritius had been involved in BMW car dealerships for many years, so it seemed destined that Ian would find his niche selling motor vehicles. Ian has worked for most major car companies; Lexus, Volkswagen, Peugeot, BMW and Audi Mornington where he was manager for five years. “Prestige products sell themselves really, so it’s all about customer service. People tend to buy from someone they like or get along with, so relationships are very important. I believe that good customer service is all about honesty, an open approach and avoiding a sales pitch. It’s about helping your customer achieve their goals. It’s not about selling and forgetting.” Ian is now a real estate sales consultant with Sam Danckert Real Estate in Mount Martha and his relationship with Sam is testament to his core belief about customer service and buying from someone they tend to get along with. “I have bought two houses from Sam and he has bought three cars from me, so that’s a perfect example of mutual trust and respect. When Sam first discussed the idea of joining Danckert Real Estate it seemed logical. It meant stepping out of my comfort zone, but once I took my blinkers off I knew it was the right step forward. I’m really looking forward to experiencing a new industry with clarity and confidence and to work closely with new and existing clients.” Ian Ross can be contacted on 0404 868 470.n

Emissions plan is a proven failed policy It was a bit frightening to read the article “Expert warns on climate change” about the need for municipalities to take action to mitigate the financial impacts of climate change (The News 18/2/19). It is a pity that we have a local member, [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt who is part of a federal government not willing to take serious action on climate change. Australia’s emissions now are higher than at any other time and will fall far short of meeting the Paris target. According to the government’s own data, Australia increased its total emissions output by 6.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2-e) from March 2017 to 2018, a trend of increasing emissions since the Abbott government, with Greg Hunt as Environment Minister, abolished the price on carbon. The impact of climate change will be felt by small and large businesses throughout the Mornington Peninsula as well as causing significant damage to our environment. The only answer of this government is to recycle the tired and failed emissions reduction fund and spend a measly $20 million a year over the next 10 years. Compare that to the $4 billion dollars spent on offshore detention. The return to the ERF continues a failed process of paying emitters to lower their emissions, often using taxpayer money to pay for making changes that they were planning to make anyway. A significant proportion of that money was spent on projects that can easily be undone by floods, drought and fire. The reality is that Greg Hunt and his government have failed the Australian people by being unable to develop an effective policy to address climate change.
HASTINGS
It is the Australian people who will pay the price over the coming years. Marg D’Arcy, Rye
Support Hunt I note that the usual [Greg] Hunt/Liberal haters are already spreading their propaganda before the date of the [federal] election is announced. Here is the other side: The Flinders electorate is heavily composed of elderly retirees, many of who will suffer if Labor gains government. Labor has already announced that it will take a large part of retirees’ savings, and those at the lower end of the scale will suffer the most, paying 30 per cent tax on their retirement savings. On the fairness issue alone this is disgraceful. There are many holiday homes on the Mornington Peninsula which will be negatively affected by Labor’s halving of capital gains tax exemption when their owners sell their property. Labor says they will be “grandfathered”. Yes they will, but the purchasers of these properties will not and so the price they are prepared to pay will be affected. Labor wants a much higher reduction on emissions and power will be unaffordable to lower income earners. Greg Hunt has represented the Flinders electorate successfully for many years and doesn’t deserve the opprobrium he has been subjected to for standing up against [former prime minister Malcolm] Turnbull. Turnbull was a very poor prime minister and it was Turnbull who led the campaign which ousted Tony Abbott. The election campaign led by Turnbull was a disaster in 2016, and the polls never recovered for the Liberals. They could not win under him. I hope that voters in this electorate will not
be led astray by the likes of [former Liberal and now independent] Julia Banks, who is looking for a safer seat, having happily abandoned the voters in Chisholm. Ms Banks was supported by Greg Hunt when she campaigned for Chisholm and when she entered parliament, so much for gratitude. Jackie Hammill, Mornington
Show me the money I have been watching with interest as Opposition leader Bill Shorten travels the country promising more spending at every stop. Where is the money coming from? We all know that Labor has been unable to deliver a surplus since the Keating years of the 1980s, so we can assume it will be more taxes for you and I. Just think what a mess our own finances would be in if we had spent more than we earn for the last 30 years. Perhaps a hint to our future came at the National Press Club in an address by [Australian Greens leader] Dr Richard Di Natale where he strongly advocated a return of death duties or as he called it, an inheritance tax. Michael Free, Mt Martha
Lucky to have Greg Is it not incredible that the memory of people is very short? It is important that people do not forget the past. The female element in the Liberal and National parties cry poor Malcolm [Turnbull]. As I see it, this man had three goes at destroying the party. He tried the ALP first up and they did not want him. He almost succeeded [in destroying the party]. People forget the name Tony Abbott, live by the sword die by the sword. People who are elected to parliament on a party vote have no moral right to move to being an independent unless they receive votes from the people who elected them. Our electorate [Flinders] is lucky to have Greg Hunt as our representative; he is a hard worker with few problems [and a] true picture of politi-
cal endeavour totally opposite to the pathetic effort of the Liberals in [the November] state election. Also, the challenger to Mr Hunt is a female, has a pathetic record in parliament, no aims and no achievement, apart from the Turnbullinspired attempt to challenge a sitting MP who just happens to hold a cabinet seat. Voters need to remember the past endorsed Scott Morrison. Spot problems. Children of Manus Island (all gone); the Australian soccer player held in Thailand (now home in Australia). Ray McGuire, Rye
More of the same Peter Rogan’s letter about John Cain is a near perfect example of a glass half full (“’Active’ Hunt” Letters 27/2/19). Strong on Bill Shorten’s involvement in knifing Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard before waxing lyrical on his man, Flinders MP Greg Hunt. Fair enough, he’s entitled. But hang fire, no mention of Greg Hunt’s involvement in showing the exit door (knifing?) former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull? Cliff Ellen, Rye
Path falls short Both Erica Bryan and Hugh Fraser continue to peddle the misinformation Coppin Road, Sorrento ratepayers have been subjected to for the past four years (“Ridiculous claim” Letters 27/2/19). The original Mornington Peninsula Shire Council footpath plan did not widen Coppin Road to accommodate the buses and would have necessitated Ms Bryan and her dog to cross Coppin Road three times. As for [Cr] Hugh Fraser’s comments, the footpath will not connect Coppin Road with Point Nepean Road. Council in its wisdom has designed the footpath to stop 20 metres before Point Nepean Road. Furthermore, Hugh Fraser over the past four years has referred to our much loved road as Coppin Street, obviously Hugh Fraser is not a Sorrento resident. Bill Holmes, Sorrento

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Mr McKenzie welcomes his son home from the war Compiled by Brodie Cowburn LAST week Mr R. W. B. McKenzie of Melbourne Road had the pleasure of welcoming home his soldier son, Lieutenant McKenzie, who as a member of the Flying Corps saw service in Egypy, Gallipoli and France. *** MR A. K. T. Sambell, C.E., having secured an extended lease of “Balnawartha,’ in Frankston, intends establishing his home here at an early date. *** AN old identity passed away on Sunday in the person of Mrs Henderson, of Cranbourne Road, Frankston. The funeral took place on Monday. *** THEIR many friends were pleased to welcome Privates Bob. Dean and Roger Burton who returned to Frankston this week after several years of active service abroad. *** THE Rev. E. Tonkin who has been enjoying a Short vacation has returned to Frankston and will conduct services in the Methodist church as usual on Sunday next. *** CAPTAIN Carmichael on Monday night stated that had Mr Hughes contested any seat in the recent English elections he would have succeeded. The anti-German attitude of the Australian Prime Minister so coincided with the opinion of the majority of England’s electors that his election on that cry, would have been assured had he stood. *** ATTENTION is directed to the corrected railway time table appear-
ing on our fourth page. The figures have been brought right up to date, and should prove a convenience to railway travellers. *** AT the ordinary monthly sitting of the Frankston police court on Monday before Mr S. Sherlock (chairman) and Messrs W. J. Oates and C. W. Grant, Js.P., only one case was listed. L. Cooper, for failing to have his child vaccinated, was fined £2 in default distress. There was no appearance of the defendant. *** RECENTLY the Bendigo City Council circularised 110 municipalities in the State, soliciting support and co-operation in a movement to induce the Government to introduce an amendment of the Country Roads Act to provide that the Country Roads Board be empowered to take over as national roads, such sections of main roads as, in its opinion, are not materially advantageous to the municipalities through which they pass and those adjacent thereto. The council has received replies from 79 municipalities, of which 60 favor the proposal. *** ENCOURAGING support has been accorded the “Standard” since the commencement of the year. From various sources numerous letters have been addressed to the management, expressing appreciation at the forward move made by the Peninsula’s oldest newspaper. This recognition of our efforts to bring the “Standard “ up to date is
very gratifying and encourages us to go right on. Complaints made in connection with the late delivery of the “Standard” to subscribers in the metropolitan area and “down the line” post offices have been brought under the notice of the Postmasters General’s Department, and we hope to have an improved service in the near future. Subscribers who do not receive the paper regularly every weekend are invited to immediately communicate with the manager. *** AT Sandringham court on Monday three defendants were charged with serious offences under the Health Act – two with neglecting to keep the premises in a cleanly condition, and the third with permitting overcrowding, so as to be prejudicial to the health of the inmates. The evidence disclosed the very insanitary conditions which provail at certain seaside districts. The honorary magistrates inflicted a penalty of 10s in one of the first mentioned cases, and the other two defendants were fined 20s. Eight cases were dealt with at the same court against owners for allowing horses and cattle to wander, and each defendant was fined 20s. Apparently the justices, one of whom is a municipal councillor, did not view the housing conditions of the people as a more serious matter than the case of a harmless cow or horse wandering about the streets grazing on the luxurious growth of grass on the sides of the roads. *** AT the Cranbourne council meeting
on Saturday, Cr Cameron referred to the necessity for provision being made for adequate drainage in regard to estates that were being subdivided, and upon which returned soldiers were being settled, and remarked that if attention was not paid to the matter, there would be serious trouble later on. The council thought the suggestion a good one and appointed a deputation comprising the shire president (Cr McGregor) and the engineer (Mr Maughan) to interview the Minister of Lands on the subject. *** IN the ordinary course the Election of the Frankston school committee would have taken place last month. It has been decided by the Minister of Education that in consequence of the closing of schools owing to the epidemic it has been decided that, except where otherwise determined, the period of office of persons who held positions as members of school committees on February 28, 1919, will be extended to April 30. *** THE annual meeting of St. Paul’s Church of England, Frankston, was held in the Schoolroom on Friday evening last. The Vicar occupied the chair. The minutes of the last annual meeting were read by the secretary and confirmed, on the motion of Mr Wheeler, seconded by Mr Garrood. The treasurer presented a very satisfactory balance sheet, which was received and adopted on the motion of Mr Jolly, seconded by Mr Bailey. A letter was read from H. M. Collins, Esq., stating that he was leav-
ing England for Australia on 19th March, and on his arrival in Victoria he wished to personally discuss with the secretary the erection of a memorial in the local church from the members of his family to perpetuate the memory of the late Mrs C. Mins. *** HEARD in the Train. That Frankston and Seaford intend joining forces to make Kananook Creek a navigable and/picturesque waterway. That some action should be taken to compel motor cyclists to affix “silencers” to their machines. That immediate steps should be taken to securely fence the “Honor Avenue” at Frankston. That danger from fires at Seaford is very real during the summer months. That it would be a wise precaution to gather up all the dry bush and rubbish along the foreshore reserve. That Seaford is anxious to cooperate with Frankston in urging an improved railway service. That Langwarrin residents intend making another attempt to secure severance from Cranbourne shire. That the Shire Engineer, Mr Sambell, put up a splendid case for adequate building regulations at the Council meeting on Thursday. That a sewerage system for Frankston will be a matter for early consideration with the advent of the water supply. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 1 March 1919

Rosie Weiss - In My Garden X 2007 (detail), ink and pencil on paper. Courtesy of the artist.
‘IN the valley’ is an exhibition that highlights the beauty and fragility of our natural environment. Observing and documenting the changing landscape of significant areas of the Mornington Peninsula, artists Rosie Weiss, Jean Langley, Merryn Lloyd, Christine Lloyd, Michael Favaloro and Siri Hayes reveal their personal connections to the landscape and the strong links to place that exists across generations. The ‘In the valley’ exhibition coincides with the Mornington Peninsula Shire moving towards zero net carbon emissions across all its operations by 2021 and supporting long-term climate change resilience across the community. The exhibition is presented as part of ART+CLIMATE=CHANGE 2019, a socially-engaged festival of climate changerelated arts and ideas featuring curated exhibitions and theatre works alongside a series of keynote lectures, events and public forums featuring local and international guests. For more information: www. artclimatechange.org Artist Cameron Robbins’ work ‘Solar
Loggerheads’ is a large-scale drawing instrument that brings together conflicting forces of creation and destruction. Locked in a continuous spin cycle, two opposing kinetic armatures draw and erase across the same flat surface. Powered by solar energy, the drawing mechanism creates animated marks in a circular motion while the rotation of the eraser is activated by mains electricity. On Thursday 21 March MPRG is hosting a panel conversation with artist Siri Hayes and environmental advocates Rob Hayes and Rohan Cuming about the convservation issues surrounding Western Port. An open studio day is being held at the Police Point artist in residence cottage on Saturday 4 May. See Cameron Robbins’ iconic wind drawing machines, attend a sea sculpture workshop with Amy Yang, the Shire’s Waste & Litter Education Officer, and find out more about edible weeds and plants native to the Mornington Peninsula from a local expert.

The Clapton Show UnPlugged ‘Layla… Tears in Heaven… Signe… I Shot the Sheriff...’
THE CLAPTON UNPLUGGED SHOW ERIC Clapton’s career has spanned over 6 decades. Lauded as being the greatest guitarist of all time, his roots are firmly & obviously embedded in the blues tradition of which he remains both a student & visionary. In his unforgettable ‘Unplugged’ Concert, Clapton paid homage & respect to his roots & those fellow legends that influenced his playing so significantly. The music was minimalist, alternating between his reworked pop songs such as Layla, the traditional blues of Robert Johnson & Bo Diddley, and new songs , including Tears in Heaven, that were an outpouring & expression of a very difficult period of his life. The ensuing Album release won 3 Grammy Awards & sold in excess of 26 million copies worldwide. ‘The Clapton Unplugged Show’ features the inspired vocals & guitar playing of Mark
Shelley. Mark has been touring the world performing for 30 years, & in fact was at Frankston last year with his remarkable double show – Simon & Garfunkel the Concert, & Willie & Roy the Legends. His admiration of Clapton & his love of the songs & guitar playing inspired him to celebrate the Unplugged Concert. He is joined by his band whose individual credits include Leo Sayer, Marcia Hines, Moving Pictures, Tommy Emmanuel….Together they respectfully recreate the magic of that event . Add to this the support act – ‘The Songs of James Taylor’ & an evening of stylish, fun acoustic music & great songs is ensured. ‘The Clapton Unplugged Show’ will be at Frankston Arts Centre on Saturday 30 March. Tickets from www.thefac.com.au or call 9784 1060.

Old boys, new tricks: Peninsula Old Boys got the better of Mornington in a high scoring affair. Picture: Andrew Hurst
Crib Point fall short in Moorooduc chase By Brodie Cowburn
PENINSULA
CRIB Point have fallen just short of Moorooduc in day two of a hotly contested clash at Crib Point Rec Reserve on Saturday. Chasing 185 for the win, Moorooduc got off on the wrong foot and lost a series of early wickets. The bowling efforts of Moorooduc’s Reece Cordeux helped his side greatly, as posted figures of 4/39. Crib Point ended up all out for 168, just 18 runs short of a win. At Ditterich Reserve, Main Ridge got the better of Pines in another tight affair. Batting first Pines scored quickly but lost wickets quickly as well. They set a target of 178 off 60 overs. In reply Main Ridge were at times shaky and looked in trouble at 7/123. A good eight wicket stand from Jason Albress and Oliver McEncroe saved the game, with both putting together brilliant innings late on to guide their side to a win. Red Hill enjoyed a good day at home, as they comfortably defended their day one total of 185. Baden Powell had one good performer on Coen Chernishoff who scored 41, but were incredibly disappointing otherwise. They were

bowled out for 128, well short of where they needed to be. Somerville also did well to defend their total of 181, bowling well as a team to dismiss Long Island for just 125.

With Rosebud having set 195 to win for Heatherhill going into the second day, things got off to a shaky start for the team with bat in hand. Heatherhill had to bounce back from a 2/4 start, but looked in a better position at 4/112. The tail was not able to contribute much to the score, and once their highest scoring player fell for 67 things fell apart. Heatherhill were bowled out for 183, just a handful of runs short. Mt Martha enjoyed a fruitful afternoon away from home to the Seaford Tigers, as they comfortably chased down 123 runs to claim the first innings. Opener Simon Street top scored with 47 runs to set up his side nicely from the get go. Seaford were also defeated comfortably, as they were smashed by Delacombe Park.
Mornington News 5 March 2019
Seaford only put 107 runs on the board in their first innings, which was easily knocked off. Nick Christides nearly defeated them off his own bat, hitting 104 runs before being caught and bowled. They ended up bowled out for a mammoth 291 off 64 overs. At Roy Dore Reserve an innings of 49 from Luke Hewitt was the highlight for Hastings, as they feel short against Carrum. They were bowled out for 172 chasing 204 to win.
SUB DISTRICTS
FRANKSTON YCW have been thoroughly dominated by Dromana in a one sided affair at Dromana Reserve. Batting first on day one the Stonecats put just 32 runs on the board before being dismissed, with their top scorer scoring just 12 runs. Six players were dismissed for ducks. In response Dromana scored 189, and the Stonecats came in to bat once more with Dromana chasing an outright win. The Stonecats were a little better in the second innings, scoring 5/77 before close of play for the day. Balnarring and Carrum Downs had a much more competitive clash, with Carrum Downs coming within a whisker of chasing down their target.
Balnarring set a total of 242 runs to chase on day one, and Carrum Downs looked in a good position at 2/94. Ryan Lynch top scored with 65, but it was not quite enough to get his side over the line. Carrum Downs were bowled out for 232, 10 runs short of a result. Boneo and Tyabb also played out a thrilling match at Bunguyan Reserve. Boneo batted out the first day and put together an impressive innings of 8/243. Tyabb’s day started will with a stunning innings of 108 from opener Nick Taranto, but unfortunately for Tyabb his teammates did not match his efforts. Four specialist batsmen were dismissed for single digit scores, as Tyabb were left all out for 235. Rye got the best of Skye at Skye Rec Reserve, as the home said failed in defending a poor first innings total of 105. Rye put together a 86 runs opening stand and scored 6/164. Skye came back in for a second innings and ended the day at 2/59. Tootgarook had a bye.
PROVINCIAL
PENINSULA OB have got the last laugh over Mornington in a high
scoring encounter on Saturday. With Mornington having put on an opening run stand of 89 and set 232 runs on day one, the Old Boys had a bit of work ahead of them. They responded with an impressive 103 run opening stand at the start of day two, with Dylan O’Malley top scoring with 74 runs. Around the grounds, Baxter grinded out a nail biting win over Langwarrin at Baxter Park. After setting Baxter a total of 156 to chase down, Langwarrin needed to work hard to keep their sights on a win. With just one over left to play, Baxter hit the winning runs with just one wicket in hand. Mt Eliza made quick work of Pearcedale away from home, defending their day one total of 210 with ease. Pearcedale struggled with bat in hand, ending up all out for a miserable 105 in tough conditions. Flinders also had a tough day, as they were easily bested by Sorrento at David Macfarlane Reserve. Chasing 112 to win, Sorrento made short work of it and claimed the first innings with seven wickets to spare. They finished at 6/195.

Skye wants State 1 opponent SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie SKYE United’s FFA Cup journey took a dramatic twist on Saturday when it came from two goals down to beat Monbulk Rangers 4-3 at Centenary Park. Monbulk had beaten Skye in the promotion race from State 3 last season and came into the clash as a firm favourite. But things didn’t go Monbulk’s way when injury forced Declan McAleese to be replaced by Cameron Poynter after just 14 minutes. Four minutes later Daniel Walsh’s lethargy in pushing up from defence allowed Poynter to beat the offside trap and hammer the ball past Skye keeper Jonathan Crook for the opener. In the 34th minute Johnny Andrinopoulos lost possession on the right of his penalty area and with Crook stranded the ball was squared to Arash Sadeghi who struck it past Sajnesh Sugrim on the goalline to make it 2-0. But a goal of stunning simplicity in the 40th minute gave Skye a lifeline. Jason Nowakowksi had blown Skye’s best early chance when he ballooned his shot from the left of the area in the 22nd minute but now he played a one-two with Daniel Attard that split the Monbulk defence and he calmly lobbed the bouncing ball over advancing Monbulk keeper Jayden Allan to make it 2-1. Right on half-time Skye’s Marcus Anastasiou was felled inside the area and Walsh easily converted from the spot for the leveller. Two minutes into the second half Crook was beaten by Sadeghi at the near post with a low shot that squirmed through his legs to restore Monbulk’s lead but loud appeals for a penalty to Skye’s Mitch Blake in the 51st minute went unheeded. Three minutes later Skye’s Sean Karipis unleashed a dipping long-range drive that slammed against the bar and was scrambled clear but Skye wouldn’t be denied and a low shot from outside the area by Harrison Michaelis in the 55th minute made it 3-3. Nowakowski should have put Skye ahead in the 60th minute after Michaelis sent him clear on the left of the area only to send his shot over the bar and two minutes later Attard got free on the left but Allan parried well. In the 68th minute Andrinopoulos couldn’t control the ball properly and Steve McRae took advantage breaking into a one-on-one against Crook only to strike the ball wide of the far post and blowing one of the best chances of the

contest. Extra time looked certain until Monbulk failed to clear as the ball pinballed about inside its area before Skye substitute Mikey Turner was brought down. Referee Patrick Chaplin pointed to the spot for the second time in the match and again up stepped Walsh and again he made no mistake to put Skye through to the next round of the cup with a possible match-up against a State 1 opponent, a clash that holds no fears for senior coach Phil McGuinness. “We’d be delighted to draw a Division One club,” McGuinness said. “I think we play better when we play a side from a higher league. “Yes we did well to come from behind today but the thing that impressed me most was our level of fitness. “I’ve used the last couple of months to really push the boys and you could see that out there. “No disrespect to the opposition but I think you could tell in the last 20 minutes that they were out on their feet and I think the heat really got to them.” Skye remains keen to bring in an extra striker and has spoken to some local players as well as contacting online player agency Soccer Smart. McGuinness seems content with his stocks in defence and in midfield knowing that Billy Painting, Gerard Lawler, Mo Elhassan, Mark O’Connor and Marcus Collier still have to come back into the side. In the second cup match at Centenary Park on Saturday State 2 side Peninsula Strikers beat State 4 opponent Baxter 4-1. The cup heroics of the previous week
were quickly forgotten when a severely depleted Baxter arrived at the venue. Nathan Yule (suspended), Mitchell Cohen (leg injury), Charlie Jones (hamstring injury), Alan Lipsett (groin injury) and Brendan Norris (working overseas) were all missing from the 3-2 extra-time win over Altona North along with Chris Bowen and Paul Swan who were at private functions. Baxter had hoped to have some new signings on show but Phil Greig (exMornington and Langwarrin) and Sam Brown (ex-Langwarrin) were unavailable, Dau Ajak (ex-Morwell Pegasus) is still not ready to play and Jack Wyer (Mornington) only started light training last week. Strikers were without Michael Hoogendyk (suspended) and injured Julian Malander. In the 12th minute Strikers midfielder Jordan Avraham played in John Prescott on the right of the area and his square ball across the face of goal presented winger Alpha Turay with a firsttime tap-in to make it 1-0. But six minutes later former Strikers forward Ben Meiklem broke through and slotted the ball past Strikers keeper Colin McCormack to make it 1-1 and stun the home team fans. Strikers’ lead was restored when Josh Calle marked his debut by setting up Avraham for a close-range finish in the 37th minute to make it 2-1. Despite huffing and puffing through the rest of the first half and most of the second period Strikers could not add to the scoreline as Baxter players refused to lie down and keeper James Foster proved a difficult hurdle to overcome. Strikers eventually grabbed some
breathing space when substitute Grant Lane volleyed home at the second attempt in the 83rd minute. Five minutes later a neat one-two with substitute Matt Harrington allowed Prescott to beat the advancing Foster to the ball and neatly dink it past the young keeper to round out the scoreline. In other FFA Cup news featuring local clubs, Somerville Eagles lost 6-0 to an impressive South Yarra, Aspendale Stingrays lost 4-0 to Moreland United, Seaford United lost 2-1 after extra time to Mooroolbark while Frankston Pines lost 3-2 after extra time to Thornbury Athletic. Dylan Waugh put Seaford ahead in the first half at Esther Park but right on half-time Mario Rivera levelled for the home side. The tie was forced into extra time and in the 108th minute Daniel Burrows nabbed the winner. Pines had upgraded their floodlights last week and passed a lighting audit so the tie scheduled as a home match for Thornbury was switched to Monterey Reserve as Thornbury didn’t have a ground available and neither club was keen to play at Darebin International Sports Centre. The less said about this tie the better as after half-time it descended into an at times brutal contest with two players stretchered off and two Pines players red carded in extra time. Both substitute Josh Maclaren and central defender Daniel Mota deserved to be sent off but had referee Arthur Vasiliadis took action against the numerous scything tackles from behind from Thornbury players the game
would have had to be abandoned due to lack of numbers. Travis Ernsdoerfer put Pines ahead with a low shot in the 11th minute and new signing Nick Simmons doubled the advantage in the final minute of the half. Connor McAndrews gave away a penalty five minutes into the second half with a rash challenge and Michael Gaitanis converted at the second attempt after Alfonso Cardinale had parried his initial attempt. Five minutes later scores were tied after Marc Macaluso’s cross-cum-shot sailed over Cardinale’s head and into the far corner of the Pines’ goal. The decisive moment came in the 6th minute of extra time when Bart Holod was sent clear on the right of the area and struck a superb low shot across Cardinale and inside the far post for the winner. In NPL2 news Langwarrin came away from the long trip to Albury with a 1-1 draw against Murray United on Saturday but it had to wait until almost the last kick of the match to grab a point. The home team took the lead in the 59th minute making Langy pay for losing possession and Tom Youngs opened the scoring. It looked as though the visitors would return empty handed to Melbourne until Roddy Covarrubias was at the near post as the ball was played in from the right and he got a touch to send it under Murray keeper Abdulkerim Koc for a 97th minute equaliser. In NPLW news Southern United had another dismal day at the office despite signing former Casey Comets midfielder Natalie Holmes late last week. Holmes came off the bench for the last 15 minutes but was helpless to stop Bulleen chalking up a 10-0 win at Monterey Reserve on Saturday afternoon. Southern’s under-19s lost 5-0, the under-16s drew 1-1 with Eden Abrahams scoring for Southern, the under14s went down 4-0 and the under-12s lost 13-0. This weekend’s league games: SATURDAY 3pm: Langwarrin v Bulleen (Lawton Park); Southern Utd v Geelong Galaxy Utd (Monterey Reserve, under-12s 9am, under-14s 10.10am, under-16s 11.30am, under19s 1pm).

Sharks players called up for national squad SOUTHERN Peninsula Sharks players Jaz Shelley and Olivia Pollerd will join the under-19s Australian squad in preparation for the under19s World Championships in Bangkok in July. The two Sharks’ players were selected to be apart of the World Championship team camp two weeks ago. The girls will join some of Australia’s best junior basketball talent for a weekend long camp in May. Southern Peninsula Sharks basketball operations manager Lucas Allen said they were both incredibly excited to join the squad. “For Jaz, she’s been to two World Championships already including the under-19s as a double bottom age. She’s been to that level before but she’ll still be excited to make the squad once again,” Allen said.
“For Olivia, she just missed out on the under17s team at last year’s World Championships so to be included in this squad, she’s a bit surprised about but she’s definitely very excited for it.” When looking at the Sharks women’s team last season, Allen only had positives to say about both of the players. “[Olivia] was an important part of the team in particular with her shooting and her size,” he said. “Jaz was obviously a very critical player for the team as well.” The players were chosen for the squad by talent identification from various tournaments and camps leading up to selection. The final squad will be selected for their camp in May.

Stable stars impress at jumpouts ANTHONY Freedman’s stable stars Santa Ana Lane and Shoals stepped out in a handy jumpout at Balnarring on Wednesday 27 February. The talented pair, who have recorded seven Group 1 victories and just shy of $6 million between them, finished first and second in the second heat of the morning and look right on track for their return to the races. Santa Ana Lane was allowed to find his feet at the back of the small field before working home powerfully to finish two lengths off his stablemate Shoals, who led from start to finish, in the 1000-metre gallop. Pinecliff-based assistant trainer and Anthony’s son, Sam Freedman, said Santa Ana Lane will be prepared for the Newmarket Handicap at Flemington on Saturday 2 March before heading to Sydney for the $2.5 million T.J. Smith Stakes (1200m) during The Championships. Group 1 options in Hong Kong and the UK remain on the radar later in the season. “He and Shoals were in the same heat this morning,” Freedman said.
“{Shoals} won it and he finished second, beaten about a length. “We wanted to give him a pretty solid hit-out and we were very pleased with his effort. “The Newmarket looks a nice option for him first-up. We wouldn’t be going there expecting him to win but he can definitely run well and what we’ve seen previously with him is that he improves into his campaign.” Freedman said Shoals had overcome a minor setback that had forced her scratching from the Oakleigh Plate at Caulfield on Saturday 23 February. Connections are now considering first-up options in Melbourne and Sydney over the coming fortnight. “She’s over the little issue she had last week and she’s ready to go to the races now,” Freedman said. “She’ll potentially head to the Newmarket as well, or maybe the Canterbury Stakes in Sydney. “She’s had the three jumpouts now so whether it’s 1200m or 1300m first-up, she should have the grounding to run very well.”
Alexandra Park, the heart of a community FOR many visitors to Mornington and for many of its residents, Alexandra Park is the place at the top of Main Street to play footy, cricket and netball. Most people drive past Alexandra Park on the way to sampling the delights of “the street”, or to drop off the kids for their weekend sport. Few, if any, give a second thought about the history that permeates every sod, every blade of grass, every brick and every plank that make up the community space. For those lucky enough to remember before World War I, Alexandra Park would mean more than bristling local derbies or the crack of willow on leather. In the minds of these senior residents, there may be recollections of thundering hooves, or the glint of axe heads being raised to meet the sunlight before crashing down to splinter
PAGE 40
wood. Or, it may be memories of army pageantry and the pomp and ceremony of bands that led processions from Main Street to the park for afternoon tea and a recital. While the very earliest history of Alexandra Park is sketchy, including its naming, records held by the Mornington and District Historical Society show the then Shire of Mornington bought the area now known as Alexandra Park in 1896. For millennia before that it was part of the territory inhabited by the Bunurong people, part of the Kulin nation, whose descendants live among us today and whose interests are represented by the Boon Wurrung Foundation. So, while footy and cricket play a big part in the story of Alexandra Park they are by no means the only sporting endeavors to have been staged there over the decades.
Mornington News 5 March 2019
There were also wood chopping competitions in the 1950s and even boomerang and spear throwing exhibitions by Aborigines, although to which tribe these individuals belonged is not mentioned in the historical records. As part of a Boxing Day carnival in 1934, nine camels from central Australia made up a picnic camel race meeting at Alexandra Park. A tennis tournament on the park’s grass was also part of the same carnival. And then there was the Mornington Athletics Carnival of 1945 where the shire provided for up to 5000 spectators and prepared a world class track at the park. The feature race, the “Mornington Gift” was one of the richest and most prestigious foot races in the country at that time, alongside the Stawell Gift. Alexandra Park has also been used for some of the biggest events and
camps on the Mornington Peninsula, including gymkhanas. Gymkhanas were popular on the peninsula from the early to the mid1900s; they were essentially an event to celebrate horsemanship although there were also motorcycle varieties as well. Alexandra Park was also the setting for some of the biggest camps on the peninsula. On Boxing Day 1931, about 280 men of the 24th Battalion representing Camberwell, Croydon and Surrey Hills set up camp for 10 days engaging in activities such as inter-company cricket matches. The Alpha Social Club used the park for Christmas holiday camps in the 1940s on more than one occasion, some of which were attended by more than 400 people, as did the Presbyterian Young Men’s Fellowship in the late 1920s and the scouts on regular
occasions. All of which shows how valuable an asset Alexandra Park has been, and still is, to the local and wider community. Thanks should be given to the Mornington football and cricket clubs for the work they have done in maintaining and developing the area for more than a century. The Mornington Shire (1894 to 1994) and now the Mornington Peninsula Shire should also be acknowledged for their investment and management of the park. At the end of the day, as history has shown, although people from far and wide have used the magnificent field and amenities of Alexandra Park for many purposes, it will always be a place for all the people of the shire to enjoy.
