Bird flu cases climb on peninsula as mass casualty event feared Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au BIRD flu has continued to spread on the peninsula since the first detection on Wednesday 12 August, with the number of confirmed positive cases now sitting at eight as of last Friday. The spread on the Mornington Peninsula comes as there are reports
of mass mortality events attributed to the virus with over 1000 bird deaths in South Australia last week. On Sunday (23 August), wildlife group Vic Wildlife Alliance reported a mass death event at Point Nelson near Portland in Western Victoria, calling for volunteers to help “humanely euthanase thousands of H5N1 infected birds which are being left to die slow, painful deaths”. The peninsula cases have been
recorded at St Andrews Beach, Dromana Beach, Capel Sound Foreshore Reserve, McCrae Beach and Blairgowrie with one case in each town in greater crested terns. There have been three cases in Sorrento; two in greater crested terns and one in a silver gull. There has been one positive case recorded in the little penguin colony on Phillip Island as authorities race to vaccinate 5000 of the penguins

be investing in the resilience of all the bird and mammal species”. “We need an overarching plan for how Western Port respond to crises like these that will give this wildlife the best possible chance to survive.” The latest information from the Australian government assesses almost 20% of Australia’s more than 2000 bird and mammal species are at high to extreme risk from the virus.

There continues to be grave concerns for Western Port Bay’s wetlands that are a critical habitat for wildlife, and home to 65% of threatened bird species in Victoria.

The countdown begins – less than 100 days until the state election Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au WITH less than 100 days until the state election, things are off to a slow start in the three electorates on the Mornington Peninsula, with only a handful of candidates announcing their intention to challenge. In Nepean, incumbent Anthony Marsh heads into his second election campaign in six months with a handy 13.24% margin, after his by-election win in May. There will be at least one familiar face on the hustings, with his byelection opponent Darren Hercus contesting the seat again for One Nation. Hercus told The News “I am both honoured and humbled to have been re-endorsed by One Nation for Nepean at the upcoming state election”. “I’m looking forward to the campaign ahead and to the challenges it will bring. Most importantly, I look forward to listening to the people of Nepean, standing up for our community and working hard to deliver the
change that we all need.” Labor, which didn’t contest the by-election in May due to a longheld convention of not contesting by-elections in seats they don’t hold, still don’t appear to have selected a candidate for Nepean or Mornington. A Labor insider told The News they believed the leadership spill and subsequent resignations have meant a “pivot” has been required. Independent Tracee Hutchison, while vowing to recontest the seat after her loss to Marsh in the byelection, decided against contesting the November poll. In fact, the Independents for Mornington Peninsula, who endorsed Tracee in May, have told The News they will not be fielding a candidate in Nepean or Hastings at all as they concentrate their effort on the Mornington electorate. In Mornington, Liberal Chris Crewther won the seat in 2022 with only a 0.7% margin, just 590 votes, against independent candidate Kate Lardner in the two-candidate-preferred race.
Crewther was well ahead on first preferences in the 2022 poll with 17,910 votes (42.58%) with Lardner coming is second with 9432 votes (22.42%) and Labor’s Georgia Fowler coming in third with 9246 votes (21.98%). Preferences worked in Lardner’s favour getting her close, but falling just short. Independents for Mornington Peninsula have announced they have endorsed a candidate for the Mornington contest, likely favouring the seat due to how close the independent came in 2022. An email sent to Independents for Mornington Peninsula supporters on Monday (17 August) announced the selection of the candidate with her identity to be revealed soon. “During a rigorous selection process, the candidate impressed the selection panel with her background in local business, education and advocacy, and her strong commitment to social justice, climate action and gender equity,” the email stated. “She is an active community leader and advocate who will represent

her electorate with determination, underpinned by the essential skills developed over years of service to the community in her fields.” As mentioned previously, Labor is yet to announce a candidate for the seat of Mornington. Also running in Mornington will be a yet-to-be-revealed One Nation candidate. One Nation’s campaign co-ordinator for the eastern region, Harry Mulry, told The News that candidates for Mornington and Hastings have been selected and would be announced soon. “I think people will really like them,” said Mulry. “We head-hunted people from within their local communities rather than anyone in the political sphere. People with real-life skills and experience that will create a real change we can apply when we form government.” Over in Hastings, Labor’s Paul Mercurio holds the seat with a slim 1.35% margin after beating Liberal Briony Hutton in 2022. The seat had been held by Liberal
Neale Burgess since 2006 before he decided not to recontest in 2022. With no incumbent, Mercurio managing to flip the seat to Labor. Mercurio told The News “I have a lot more to do, finishing things I have been working on during my term”. Mercurio will face Liberal candidate Frank Schiefler who has been campaigning since being pre-selected in April. Schiefler told The News “I want to get the 24-hour police station in Hastings. I want to fix the potholes, and we’re committing $5b to fix 1,000,000 potholes. And I want to get Western Port the investment that it desperately deserves”. Apart from the yet-to-be-named One Nation candidate, the only other candidate having announce their intention to run in Hastings is Chloe Coulson from the Animal Justice Party. Coulson told The News the party is working on a number of local issues that they are planning to take action on. Official candidate nominations for the 2026 poll open on 3 November.

Shire seeks kinder infrastructure feedback
GREATER crested terns. Picture: Gary Sissons
Peninsula bird flu cases likely much higher Continued from Page 1 The rise in bird flu cases on the peninsula comes as new reporting guidelines have been introduced to align Victoria’s reporting with a national reporting framework. The reporting guidelines now ask for people to report clusters of five or more sick or dead wild birds of any species, but to report even a single sick or dead wild seabird, waterbird, shorebird, bird of prey or marine mammal (e.g. seal, dolphin). Mornington Peninsula Shire Councillor David Gill told The News the figure of eight detections would
most likely be “wildly inaccurate”, and the peninsula could end up seeing thousands of sick or dying birds. “The potential is we could have mass casualty events among peninsula birdlife of catastrophic proportions.” “This could decimate not only bird colonies, but seals, dolphins and even whales. It has the potential to cause extreme economic and environmental effects.” “People have to aware that this has the ability to affect domestic pets too.” If you find a sick or dead bird that
you suspect could have H5 bird flu remember to: n AVOID contact with sick or dead wildlife and their environment. Do not touch, move or approach the bird, and do not allow pets to touch or eat sick or dead wildlife. n RECORD what you see, the location the animal was found, and take photos or video (if possible) without approaching the bird. n REPORT any unusual illness or death in wild birds and other wildlife immediately via the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.
MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is seeking community feedback on the condition and capacity of its kindergarten infrastructure as it considers how to respond to expanded kindergarten hours introduced by the state government. The council is reviewing 25 kindergarten buildings it owns and maintains, many of which are unable to accommodate the increased demand. In 2022, the state government introduced the Best Start, Best Life reforms, which are expanding threeyear-old kindergarten hours from five hours to 15 hours a week by 2029. There will also be a ten-year transition beginning in 2026 that will increase four-year-old kindergarten hours from 15 to 30 hours per week. The shire does not currently operate kindergarten programs, but 25 providers operate from council-owned facilities. Mayor Cr Stephen Batty said many of the buildings are not equipped to accommodate the increased hours. “Many of council’s kindergarten buildings only have one room,” said Batty. “They can’t provide the extra hours mandated by the state government without adding another room or drastically cutting their future enrolments.” Batty said in some locations there isn’t enough space to add another room. A council review estimates upgrading the existing buildings would cost more than the shire’s entire capital
works budget for the current financial year. “It’s an investment that cannot reasonably be met by ratepayers alone,” said Batty. “While the state government has provided some funding for kindergarten infrastructure, it’s nowhere near enough and would leave council with a significant shortfall to cover.” The shire is now asking current and past kindergarten families, carers, educators, residents, and other community members to provide feedback on the condition, suitability, capacity, and location of the 25 facilities. “Council is now faced with important decisions about the future of these facilities, and the role local government should play in responding to state government reforms,” said Batty. “Any decision involving an investment of this scale has implications for ratepayers and must be carefully considered alongside council’s many other responsibilities.” Batty said community feedback will help shape the shire’s response to the reforms, including any future advocacy. “This is an issue facing all peninsula community members, not just those who use kindergartens,” said Batty. “We need to ensure ratepayers’ money is allocated fairly across all areas such as roads, sports facilities, libraries, community services and the environment.” Community members are invited to have their say via the shire’s website at: mornpen.vic.gov.au.
Massive improvement in hearing aid technology Imagine a hearing aid that only amplifies clear speech. Imagine walking into a busy restaurant and the only thing you hear louder is the clear speech of the people close to you. Not the incoherent speech that has morphed into babble.

For millions of hearing impaired people the worst places to hear are in noisy restaurants and clubs. The problem is that EVERY hearing aid for the past 60 years amplifies EVERYTHING. It is unable to effectively differentiate between speech and every other unwanted sound that drowns out speech.
Well, imagine no more. We invite you to test drive the latest breakthrough in
hearing aid technology that will revolutionise how you hear in noisy, demanding environments. Experience hearing like you never thought possible. Some of our clients with SEVERE hearing losses are hearing better in noisy restaurants than people with normal hearing. Hard to believe I know, so put us to the test and experience this incredible breakthrough for yourself.
UNMATCHED SPEECH CLARITY Imagine, hearing clearly in noise! Introducing a hearing aid that offers exceptional speech clarity as it separates unwanted noise from speech, delivering a level of clean and clear speech far beyond any existing technology, thereby allowing you to engage with friends, family and colleagues even in the noisiest environments.

Tyabb residents raise concerns over fines Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au TYABB residents have raised concerns regarding fines being issued for cars parked on nature strips. Residents in the area say the fines began in early July, with some households receiving multiple infringements within days. Jordyn White, who has been advocating for affected residents, said she had personally received two fines in three days. “We’ve heard about six fines for some houses now, three days apart,” said White. Residents say the problem is particularly dire on narrow roads where parked vehicles on the road can restrict access for other cars and potentially emergency services. “The fines have forced people on our street to start parking on the road,” said White. “It has limited visibility and has made it incredibly dangerous. The bin truck might not be able to get to certain houses this week, and emergency services definitely can’t access our street.” White said the issue was particularly concerning due to the number of elderly residents in the area. White created a petition calling on council to allow parking on nature strips, which currently has around 150 signatures. One of her neighbours, Rebecca Kappe, shared the petition and concerns on a local community Facebook page. Since then, residents from Hast-
ings and Somerville have also raised concerns about issued parking fines. Kappe said her husband recently received a fine despite living in the area for 17 years without previously experiencing any issues parking on the nature strip. “I just think that they’re punishing us for their lack of foresight,” said Kappe. She said the number of vehicles per household has increased as young people struggle to afford to move out. “I know of two families, at least just in our street, that have four and five adult kids at home,” said Kappe. “So of course it’s going to mean an increase in cars per household.” Kappe also said the cost of the fines was weighing on residents. “The young guys across the road from me, one of them has received three fines,” said Kappe. “To me, that’s just harassment.” Residents said they have previously parked on nature strips to keep the road clear rather than obstructing their neighbours. “Our street is lovely. All of the people that live on our street are awesome,” said Kappe. “We’re all very courteous to one another, which is why we’ve made our nature strips look nice, and so that we can put our cars out of the way of everybody else.” David Chester, who regularly visits the area, said people are now struggling to identify where they can legally park. “If I park my car in their driveway, which their two cars are in the front,
there’s nowhere else to park, and so I’ll get a fine as well,” said Chester. “If anyone visits on Christmas Day now, where do they park? They can’t park out in the street; they’ve made the roads too narrow.” Chester said he believed the enforcement was unreasonable given the circumstances residents are facing in today’s financial climate. “I think it’s just a money grab,” said Chester. “I think it’s disgraceful to think that we’re in these times now, and everyone, especially in Victoria, is struggling with the cost of living, and now they’re going for this.” Mornington Peninsula Shire Director of Planning and Liveability Andrew Pomeroy said parking on nature strips in built-up areas is an offence under Victorian road rules and council officers are required to enforce the rules. “Council understands concerns about access on narrow roads, and it can consider these concerns separately through its traffic and transport processes where appropriate,” said Pomeroy. Pomeroy said anyone who has received an infringement may apply for a review, which will be assessed in accordance with the legislation. Residents are calling for the council to consider the physical constraints of narrow streets rather than enforcing the parking rules without providing alternative parking options.

Fundraiser to shine a light on rare cancer Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au A FUNDRAISER to raise awareness about vulva health and vulvar cancer will take place at Main Ridge Community Hall on 12 September. The event is being organised by Vulva Sisters Australia and will be a celebration of women’s health, with all ticket sale profits donated to Rare Cancers Australia. Vulva Sisters Australia is a notfor-profit organisation co-founded by Jane Hancox and Marlo Woods, who met cold-water swimming in the bay during COVID. Hancox was diagnosed with vulvar cancer around three years ago. Due to misdiagnosis, the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and required her to undergo multiple surgeries, six rounds of chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. “Vulvar cancer is rarely diagnosed early,” said Hancox. “It leads to around 100 women per year dying of vulvar cancer in Australia, because one: they don’t know what their vulva is, and two: their doctors just misdiagnose and say that they have hormonal problems.” Woods said she is really proud of Hancox for speaking up and sharing her story. “There’s a lot of shame and stigma around women’s bodies, and people don’t want to talk about these things,” said Woods. “Jane is bravely wanting to make a difference and help women be able to advocate for themselves, and to know

how to talk about their bodies, and talk with doctors about how they’re feeling.” Last year, the pair went to Parliament House for a forum with Rare Cancers Australia, who were advocating for the Minister of Health to add certain medications associated with rare cancer to the PBS. “Some of the people that have rare cancers have to sell their houses, they have to go into their superan-
nuation, or they have to fundraise for themselves, and it’s horrendous,” said Hancox. She said Rare Cancers Australia have been pushing for change for many years, and they wanted to organise an event to help give back. “They do incredible work, helping people with rare cancers,” said Hancox. “Because there’s a lot of inequity as far as funding and treatments for
people with rare cancer, so that’s their main focus.” The pair were nicknamed ‘the vulva sisters’ by people at the Rare Cancer Australia forum in Canberra as they were wearing vulva earrings. They decided to lean into the nickname, which is how the organisation received its name. The fundraiser will include guest speakers, live music, poetry, food and drinks, a silent auction, and a raffle.
“We’re wanting it to lead into doing more community education programs,” said Woods. “We’ve got a lot of ideas about what we want to do, what we want to push to help women know their bodies and feel comfortable in their bodies and to know how to advocate for themselves.” Woods said everyone involved in Vulva Sisters Australia is incredibly passionate about spreading awareness and helping advocate for rare cancers. “We’ve all been with Jane through her cancer journey and treatment, and it was horrendous,” said Woods. “But it’s actually created this incredible bond between us and some of the darkest, hardest, most horrible experiences in life come out with light and positivity because you can create something wonderful and positive out of it.” Several local businesses have donated various products, experiences, and vouchers for the event. “Thank you for being so generous,” said Hancox. “It’s amazing how the local community are when they see what we’re doing, and they want to jump on board and give.” “A lot of people at the moment are struggling financially, and businesses are struggling, but people are being super generous if they can be, so we’re so grateful for that.” The event will take place at Main Ridge Community Hall on 12 September from 2 to 5 pm.

Love of dogs shines through until the end By Raia Flinos THE Murrowong Ave Dog Park community is mourning the loss of two of their much-loved regulars, Richard Allen and his Maltese-Pomeranian cross, Teddy. Richard passed away on 10 August, less than two weeks after the death of his best friend, Teddy. For the past 15 years, Richard and Teddy could regularly be found at the Murrowong Ave Dog Park, often twice a day. On Friday 21 August, Richard’s funeral was held at All Saints Anglican Church in Rosebud, but with a rather unique twist. Everyone was invited to bring along their dogs to sit in the pews and help celebrate Richard’s life. The dress code was people: wear what you like, and dogs: wear navy blue; a tribute to Richard’s love for Carlton Football Club. Gordon Coulter, a regular at Murrowong Ave Dog Park, said they were “the mainstays of the park and very well-known”. “Every dog in the park knew to go to Richard, because they were going to be given treats,” said Gordon. “He was very popular and a real constant at the park.” Gordon said he was more fondly known as King Richard and “had a unique ability of making everybody at the park feel welcome”. “Because of his pockets of treats, every dog knew Richard,” said Gordon. “And they would literally line up at the gate when his car pulled up.”
Picture: Yanni Richard’s daughter Elizabeth said he stayed deeply connected with his community thanks to the dog park. Elizabeth said the dog park regulars “gave him so much community and joy and happiness and made his last years so incredibly meaningful”. Richard was born in England before making his way to Australia and settling in Gippsland. He was a shipbuilder and loved the ocean, which led him to settle
down in Rosebud with his long-term partner, Julie. Elizabeth said Richard was her best friend. “He was my first love and my greatest love,” said Elizabeth. “He was incredibly intelligent, and he had the most wicked sense of humour, and [the family] all got that sense of humour. We are who we are because of him.” Elizabeth said Richard loved dogs
and family most of all. Richard had three children: Elizabeth, Cyrus, and Benjamin; five grandchildren: Isabelle, Claudia, Skye, Jett, and Sophie; and two bonus grandchildren: Bailey and Kaleb. “As a grandfather, he was amazing,” said Elizabeth. “He lived with us for a while, and every morning I’d say, ‘Here’s your cup of tea, and here’s your baby’.” He was incredibly close with
Claudia and Isabelle and taught them the words to all his old songs. They performed his favourite, Danny Boy, as a tribute at the funeral. Teddy was originally Elizabeth’s dog, but after Richard looked after him while she went away, Teddy decided he had found a new home. “A week before I got back, I got a text message from Teddy,” said Elizabeth. “The text said something along the lines of, ‘Hi Liz, hope you’re having a great time in Canada. I’m having the most amazing time. I get to go to the dog park twice a day; I get fed the best food, and I’m having so much fun that I’ve decided I’m not coming home.’” Elizabeth said she knew Richard needed Teddy more than she did, and for the rest of their days, the pair were inseparable. Richard and Teddy were beloved by their community, family, and friends and will be deeply missed.
Council confirms parking fines after unit error Raia Flinos raia@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has unanimously voted to set parking infringement penalties at 0.5 penalty units following an administrative error in this year’s budget process. The resolution relates to 11 parking offences, including overstaying a parking limit, failure to pay for parking, and parking outside marked bays. The Road Safety Act 1986 states the default penalty for offences is 0.2 penalty units; however, council can resolve to increase to a maximum of 0.5 penalty units per offence. At the 18 August council meeting, councillors endorsed increasing the penalty to 0.5 penalty units, meaning
the affected offences will result in a $105 fine, rather than the default $42. The issue arose after the wording in this year’s Schedule of Fees and Charges was changed and did not clearly establish the higher rate, as council had not formally resolved the set penalty unit. Council said following the administrative error, a number of parking infringements were revoked and affected motorists were contacted directly by the shire. Cr Kate Roper, who moved the motion, described the resolution as an administrative correction. “This is to confirm something that we have been doing,” said Roper. Cr Andrea Allen said she wanted to clarify the 0.5 penalty unit amount
for the current year is $105, rather than the $102 figure referenced in the council report, which relates to the previous financial year. She also raised concerns about similar administrative issues identified by other councils, where higher parking penalties had been issued without a valid council resolution. “I wanted to be satisfied that our issue was limited to this financial year,” said Allen. She said it appeared the peninsula issue was limited to the current year because the relevant wording in the budget’s fees and charges has been changed. Allen referenced the council’s Compliance and Enforcement Policy, which states enforcement decisions
should not be made for the purpose of increasing revenue. She acknowledged the increase from 0.2 units to 0.5 and said she was comfortable with the higher penalty where it was used as a deterrent and was warranted in areas experiencing high parking demand. Cr David Gill said he was surprised a full explanation of the issue had not been provided earlier in the meeting. “There is still a need, in my viewpoint, to apologise even though councillors probably found out after the event,” said Gill. Gill said the apology should extend to shopkeepers as parking enforcement is important for ensuring turnover of spaces outside businesses. He also raised concerns about the
safety implications of parking issues and said council needed to ensure the problem was corrected as quickly as possible. “There’s a loss to the budget,” said Gill. “That’s unfortunate, and that’s also a penalty to people expecting council to be doing things on their behalf with ratepayer money.” Roper acknowledged “mistakes were made” but council was taking steps to correct the issue. “We are here to make this correction tonight,” said Roper. The motion was carried unanimously, with the 11 parking offences now set to receive a penalty of 0.5 penalty units, equivalent to $105 in the 2026/27 financial year.

Preparing to celebrate Legacy Week MORNINGTON Peninsula Legacy Club is gearing up to celebrate Legacy Week from 29 August to 5 September. The nationally celebrated week is Legacy’s main fundraising campaign and seeks to raise money to help support beneficiaries. Mornington Peninsula Legacy currently supports 515 beneficiaries on the peninsula. President Chuck Connors said Legacy helps beneficiaries grow and thrive despite adversity by providing services such as education, relief for financial hardship, and programs for easing social isolation. “Mornington Peninsula Legacy provide a range of services and support and care for families over a large area, commencing at Chelsea, running through Frankston, Mornington, Mt Eliza, Mt Martha, down to Portsea, and across to Hastings,” said Connors. During Legacy Week, there will be 18 locations around the peninsula selling bears, lapel pins, pens, and wristbands. “All the money raised during Legacy Week DECKING T/Pine 70x22 KD ACQ ........................... $3.50mt T/Pine 90x22 KD ACQ ........................... $4.40mt
widows achieve their gold card, which provides them with a number of benefits. “We haven’t been able to replace Bruce,” said Connors. “I don’t think you’d find many people that have a bad word to say about what Bruce has been able to achieve on behalf of veterans and their families.” The golf event will include a raffle, prizes, and a Hyundai Kona for the first hole-in-one on the Par 3 13th. “Mornington Peninsula Legacy Club would like to thank and acknowledge our major sponsors, Mornington Hyundai, Peninsula Aero Club, Devilbend Golf Club, Rosebud and Frankston RSL’s, Quealy Winemakers, Australian Military Bank and Cellarmaster tours,” said Connors. “Without you, Legacy would not be able to provide for our beneficiaries.” You can find out more information and donate at: legacy.com.au/legacy-week. For bookings for the golf event, please email: president@mplegacy. com.au.
will go to Mornington Peninsula Legacy,” said Connors. He said Legacy Week relies on the support of local businesses to help raise funds. There will also be a charity golf event held at Devilbend Golf Club on 4 September. “We try and make it a celebration on the peninsula of all the people that support Legacy,” said Connors. “Our goal is to try and raise $1,000, but the day’s aim is about camaraderie and getting people there and saying thank you.” This year, Rosebud RSL and Mornington Legacy are introducing a memorial trophy in honour of Bruce Turner OAM, who passed away in April. The trophy will be presented to the overall winner on the day by a family member. “Bruce was a legend on the peninsula by working so long in the advocacy field,” said Connors. “He helped veterans and our beneficiaries.” Turner was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his long service to Rosebud RSL. Connors said he helped many of their

RACV Cape Schanck Resort’s restaurant Samphire was joint winner of Hotel Restaurant of the Year at the 2026 Victorian Accommodation Awards for Excellence. The awards were held on 20 August at Crown Melbourne, and recognise the best venues, experiences, and teams from Victoria’s accommodation industry. RACV Cape Schanck Resort Manager Karl Henry said the team are all extremely proud of the award. “We’re absolutely thrilled to receive this recognition last night,” said Henry. “It is a really proud moment for our team at Samphire, who are passionate about providing an exceptional dining experience to all our guests.” Henry said what sets Samphire apart is the team and the exceptional service they provide. “We’re really passionate about celebrating the region, and the best of Victoria,” said Henry. “From our beverage lists, which include some of the Mornington Peninsula’s best wines, to supporting the local growers in the area, such as Hawkes Farm.” Henry highlighted tourism as a major economic driver for the region. “Recognition like this reinforces the peninsula’s reputation as a premium tourism and events destination,” said Henry. Henry said the team at Cape Schanck is “phenomenal”, but their success wouldn’t be possible without support. “Thank you to everyone who supports us in achieving what we need to achieve, from our suppliers to our contractors, but also RACV and the wider business and the support they provide us,” said Henry. “But most importantly, our guests who support us.” RACV took home multiple awards at the ceremony. General manager Craig Peachey said the results were a reflection of the strength of RACV’s tourism, hospitality and events.

Fringe show shines light on keeping it together against the odds MT Martha mum of three, Dayna Fallon, is taking to the stage with a onewoman show at this year’s Melbourne Fringe Festival. The show is centred on a poem she wrote, titled The Manager is Me, and explores invisible labour, caregiving, and the art of keeping it together when it feels like everything is falling apart. It unfolds across a morning before school drop-off, with Fallon’s character juggling three children, a husband having a seizure, a beanbag explosion, and a 7am Teams meeting asking whether now is still a good time. Fallon said she has been involved in the creative sector for over 16 years, but for the last six years, motherhood has taken centre stage. “My creative aspirations and dreams sort of had to be parked while I prioritised the family and earning an income, looking after my kids,” said Fallon “But things just got so intense that I decided to make it into art and do something for myself.” The show is a work of fiction but draws heavily on Fallon’s life experiences. “It’s much easier to play someone else,” said Fallon. “There is a vulnerability when it is you, and so for the show, I made sure that it was a character, but there’s so much truth to the story, and I think that’s what makes it real and relatable and awesome.” She said she had purposeful discussions with her director, Cathy Hunt, about what to keep private and where to instil boundaries to help protect herself.

“I wrote this because I’ve made my children laugh to cover the sound of my husband’s seizures,” said Fallon. “I’ve lived the truth of ‘if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry’ and I started wondering how many women are doing that kind of emotional labour in silence.” Fallon originally wrote the poem for the local heat, which she won. She wanted an outlet after years of caring for her husband through complex epilepsy and raising their daughters. Fallon went on to compete in the
state championship and was crowned the 2025 Victorian State Champion of the Australian Poetry Slam. “I think it made them laugh and made them cry in the one poem, and that laughter, I think, was a huge relief,” said Fallon. “So many people came up to me afterwards, saying how much they connected with it, and how overloaded everybody feels, and how are they expected to sort of keep all these plates spinning at the same time, and sort of the hilariousness of that as well.”
Fallon said she has adopted a Japanese concept called masogi, which involves picking one extremely difficult task to complete annually to help explore and test your limits. “Last year it was, I’m going to do this poetry slam, and then I ended up performing at the Sydney Opera House,” said Fallon. “So, this year, I thought I just want to do one thing that really makes me feel like I’m doing something for me, and something that fills my cup, and I decided I’m going to turn that poem
into a one-woman show.” Fallon said audiences can expect to laugh with recognition, to realise how much invisible work they have normalised, and to “hopefully laugh until they maybe cry”. The show will run at The Motley Wherehaus this October. Tickets are available at melbournefringe.com.au/ whats-on/events/the-manager-is-me. You can use the code ‘MPNEWS’ for a $5 discount.
AGRA exhibition goes online
Exhibition Dates
Saturday 29 & Sunday 30 August 2026 Time: 10am to 4pm
IF you missed the work of local Mornington Peninsula artists at the 2026 AGRA Exhibition of The Australian Guild of Realist Artists in Melbourne – you have another opportunity to view their work. Work by artists such as Lyn Mellady, Craig Penny, Lulu Clifton-Evans and Catherine Hamilton featured in the exhibition of The Australian Guild of Realist Artists at the Victorian Artists Society, with the works now going online in the AGRA Gallery – www.agra.org.au. The paintings will be available for sale for the next year. The major exhibition of more than 110 artworks was organised by Clifton-Evans of Frankston South with Mornington artist Lyn Mellady helping curate the hanging of the works. Judges were Victorian Artists Society Historian Andrew Mackenzie OAM of Mt Eliza; the Curator, City of Boroondara Rachel Keir-Smith; and former AGRA president and teacher at the Peninsula Artists Society, Colin Johnson. Colin Johnson, who taught at the Peninsula Arts Society in Frankston for more than a decade, was thrilled to meet up with many of his
former students from throughout the Mornington Peninsula and see their work in the exhibition and online gallery. The historic guild was started by artists including Sir William Dargie CBE, Kenneth Jack AM MBE and Kath Ballard OAM more than 50 years ago. Colin Johnson, the guild’s third president, was presented at the exhibition opening with a lithograph by the Jack family that he completed in 1964 under the guidance of his former teacher Kenneth Jack. “Ken mentored me, and I followed as president after he proposed me as an an AGRA committee member and history is now repeating itself as Lulu, a former student of mine, is now reinvigorating and running AGRA,” he said. “We have come full circle and long may it continue.” The nationwide guild was resurrected by Lulu Clifton-Evans after it closed in 2023 with the guild now having directors throughout Australia for the first time and a growing membership throughout the greater Frankston and Mornington Peninsula areas.

Bird flu and green wedges AUSTRALIA’S recent bird flu outbreaks among penguins and seabirds should make us pause (Bird flu detected on the peninsula and Phillip Island, The News 18/8/26). While the virus is global, the impact here is intensified by how we continue to squeeze nature into ever-smaller pockets. Nature is starting to show the strain. Little penguins, terns, gulls and other coastal birds rely on healthy, uncrowded habitats to buffer them against disease. Wetlands play a crucial role: they disperse wildlife, reduce crowding, and support biodiversity that helps ecosystems absorb shocks. When wetlands are drained, fragmented or pushed aside for development, birds are funnelled into fewer, more stressed environments, where disease spreads faster, and recovery is slower. This is why the ongoing pressure on our green wedges matters. These areas aren’t just pleasant open spaces; they are vital ecological corridors linking wetlands, coastlines and remnant bushland. Every time a wedge is carved up for urban expansion, we narrow wildlife’s breathing room and weaken the natural systems that protect them. The bird flu deaths are tragic, but they also serve as a warning. Protecting wetlands and green wedges is not optional. It is essential infrastructure for the health of our wildlife and, ultimately, our communities. As someone who grew up on Phillip Island, I know how precious these habitats are. Anne Kruger, Rye
Thank goodness for ‘The News’
Anthony Marsh has raised the possibility that lobbyists are trying to have green wedge land rezoned to enable the state to make up a shortage of 1700 homes within the Mornington Peninsula Shire despite the shire finding sufficient capacity within existing townships. Congratulations to Cameron McCullough for exposing the meetings behind closed doors at which such lobbying is taking place (MP claims Labor planning to rezone large tract of green wedge, The News 13/8/26). Labor is being described as toxic and communist by right wing parties who claim to represent the battlers, and is refuting such claims with a litany of all the ways they have represented the interests of those battlers, including the homeless, invariably opposed by the parties which supposedly cherish them. I haven’t heard a word from Pauline Hanson’s outrage party about protecting the green wedge, during the recent Nepean election won by Anthony, or since. The Cult leader won much support for her candidate (a nice chap) recently with her well-publicised visit to our little corner of the world with Labor and Liberal adherents voting 1 for One Nation and Tracey Hutchison, the community independent. Anthony showed his support for the McCrae residents recently in their quest for a passive recreation bushland reserve with not one hint of photo opportunities or point scoring. He will need help to retain his seat in the state election on 28 November 2026 so hopefully the following history of the green wedge’s establishment will help him. Ray Gibb, Rosebud
Pet advocacy
Pets provide enormous health and emotional benefits and are valuable companions to the elderly, lonely, disadvantaged and vulnerable in our community. There should therefore be greater support for people struggling to keep their beloved pets. The Mornington Peninsula Community Animal Shelter is failing to meet community

expectations. Despite being ratepayer funded and employing 12 staff, the shelter does not allow walk-ins and has reduced its weekend opening hours without meaningful community consultation. It is now open on Saturdays for only three hours, from 10am–1pm. A community shelter should be accessible every day, particularly on weekends when families have the opportunity to meet and adopt a pet. The shelter’s adoption posts are also inadequate, often lacking basic information such as the animal’s name, a link to its profile, or even clearly stating that the pet is available for adoption. Furthermore, volunteers and foster carers are not permitted, despite the valuable socialisation, enrichment and care they can provide. Foster carers often go on to adopt or help rehome animals, reducing pressure on shelters and ultimately saving lives. A subsidised pet desexing program should also be a priority during the current cost-of-living crisis. In June 2026, the shire indicated that such assistance would be available to Centrelink recipients, but this has since been restricted to seniors. Affordable desexing could help reduce surrenders, abandonment and euthanasia while potentially reducing shelter costs. Finally, the shire has rejected calls for a volunteer-based Animal Shelter Advisory Committee to help identify and implement improvements. Come on, Mornington Peninsula Shire — please listen to your community and provide the care, innovation and expertise our animals and their owners deserve. Rosy Fischer, Mornington
Set up for failure
What is this obsession to plant as close as possible to a fence? The roots of a tree spread as far as the foliage above, often further. If you “claim” a bit of extra gardening territory, be prepared not to succeed, as you forfeit control over the root system, and gamble with the health of your tree, or shrub, or whatever you “gift” your neighbour. All they have to do is feed it the wrong thing on their side of the fence and wait... often not long. Invading a neighbouring garden is like mansplaying. Just not done anymore. Marg Hawthorn, Red Hill
Park naming
You may recall a while back that this newspaper did an article about my attempts at having a park that my late wife Eunice Cain founded named in her honour (Park tribute push for environmentalist, The News 16/7/25). Eunice passed away in April 2017 and I have been requesting that the shire recognise her service to the community since then,but, because of petty bloody minded discrimination, and so called criteria, they have continually refused to do so. They even stooped to lying to me. They lied in 2023 stating that the shire was no longer naming facilities after individuals. But then, in 2024, the shire named a walkway in honour of a woman for her services to her community in Rye. I’m still waiting for a reply. Since 1986 Eunice had involved herself with the Rosebud community. She formed a group and successfully fought against the proposal to turn our freeway into a tollway. Co-founded the formation of the Southern Women’s Action Network. Co-founded the Residents Against Marinas, and help get a proposed marina tossed out. Founded the Friends of Rosebud Beach and Foreshore. Co-founded the Mornington Peninsula
Ratepayers,and Residents Association. Fought against a pool on the foreshore and had it moved to its present site. Parks Vic approached Eunice about taking on a project of a park opposite the Rosebud pub. She even had a hand in the design. Eunice always fought for the protection of the Rosebud foreshore and surrounds but, in her case the shire refuse to recognise her dedication to the Rosebud community. John Cain, McCrae
Bus request
I am writing to ask that consideration be given to restoring the bus service that previously operated in our area - St Andrews Beach, Victoria. The removal of this service has had a significant impact on residents who rely on public transport, particularly older people and those who live alone or do not have access to a car. For some residents, the bus was not simply a convenient way of getting around. It was their only practical way of accessing essential services and maintaining their independence. Without the bus, residents can no longer easily travel into town to purchase groceries, attend appointments, collect prescriptions, access banking and other essential services, or simply maintain their connection with the wider community. This is particularly concerning for older residents who may not have family nearby or anyone who can regularly drive them into town. Removing the service effectively leaves some people isolated and dependent on others for basic necessities. Public transport plays an important role in allowing people to remain independent in their own homes and communities for as long as possible. A bus service is therefore not just a transport service — for some residents, it is an essential connection to food, healthcare, services and community life. I respectfully ask that the decision to remove the service be reviewed and that consideration be given to reinstating a regular bus service, even if this initially involves a reduced timetable or a trial period. I believe this would make a significant difference to the independence, wellbeing and safety of residents in the area. Thank you for considering this request. I would appreciate any information about whether the service can be reviewed and what options may be available to restore public transport access to the area. Belinda Urbans, St Andrews Beach
Kudos to Repower
I was interested to read that Repower Mornington Peninsula has a Community Trust Fund donating home energy kits to clients in need (Repower’s Cost of Living Webinars, The News 18/8/2026). What a clever idea, with donations to the fund generated by Repower’s trusted business partners through successful referrals from the Repower and Save online tool, its website and word-of-mouth recommendations. While not every local government area has an active group like Repower, remarkably, Environment Victoria lists nearly 100 groups on its members webpage, ranging from Repower the Dandenongs to the 2030 Yea Community Energy group. Mornington Peninsula Libraries also lend home energy kits, thermal cameras and even an induction cooktop. However, apart from Nillumbik, it is hard to find another local government area where free home energy kits are actually provided to people in need. Kudos to Repower Mornington Peninsula for this important initiative. Ray Peck, Hawthorn
Gas question
Big thanks to your correspondent for informing us that foreign oil and gas company, Vopak, is planning to bring a liquified natural gas (LNG) tanker into Port Phillip Bay to operate as a floating gas plant (Disaster in the making, Letters 11/8/26). Vopak will pump its waste discharge into the bay. What does that mean for ocean life? And our beautiful beaches? Do we even need more polluting gas? Australia has plenty, but 80 per cent of it is being shipped offshore by multinational corporations who make billions but pay very little in tax. Make it all make sense. Larni Dibben, Glen Iris
Library review
You reported that there will be a review of Frankston libraries. Two matters should be acted on sooner rather than later. The Frankston Library recently had the foyer renovated, but this is not used much. It used to be that the outside door was open before the library opened, allowing people to wait out of the cold. This cannot be done at present. If the outside door opened early like before, people would use the foyer seats. The existing air lock does not work, with cold air blowing into the library, making patrons cold, especially children: cold air sinks. The solution is simple – add a passive air lock like the hospital, two walls under the library porch. Whatever the cost this will be recovered in lower electricity use and increased user comfort. Stephen Lake, Frankston
Reality or just fun?
It is with regret that I see Frankston Arts Centre promoting the upcoming appearance of someone named “Dennis Stojkovic”. He is billed, not as entertainment, but as someone who can “connect you with dead loved ones”. In reality, this is the manipulation of audience members, for the supposed entertainment and amusement of an audience. The sadness is that this fake claim can cause grief and sadness for those who are gulled into taking part. The act is as old as vaudeville. For every Doris Stokes, there were dozens of other charlatans plying the same craft. Over the years I have helped expose fake psychic doctors, psychic surgeons, and even a psychic dentist! All manipulators, who ply on our sorrow or illness for money, and the “entertainment” of others. Don’t take part, and watch out for friendly people engaging you in a ‘casual chat’ prior to the show! Mike Wilton, Safety Beach
BarleyCharlie@90
The fascination/viva la difference @ 90, not 89? The scooter, a sunny Sunday, come 9AM, all beautiful in Denmark, Woolworths, bread, milk. A suspicion, passing the coffee shops, drinking their magic coffee, invisible moire, no problem, drinkers 20’s 30’s - Old age, wondering, without the scooter? Occasionally older people, even 60’s, close by, upgraded computers, should I enquire? Reply: “You wouldn’t understand it?” Common theme, dismissed (mostly). Alternatively, defence? - an upbringing, environment, multiple renters, the double decker bus, a boy, 1940’s, layers, classes, yet to enter the mind, not even an adding machine? 7 times 8 then and now, @ 56. The Woolworths ladies (and the fewer men) Voila! Invisibility to the backline, human being, glowing, breathing. This I understand, sadly no, regrettably yes. On politics the comedy, AGAIN, as in The Liberals’ Mary Aldred, a lonely female, a melon? Question Time, accusing the Prime Minister of making “a series of foul-mouthed, classless comments about women” asking Albanese to apologise; no mention of the real expensive element, classless comments, Donald Trump? Okay, so never been big on Albo, more into the Billy Shorten types, but truthfully, if one stops and “thinks” - Albanese stands head an shoulders against the other three Party leaders. Pauline may well be running a close second, thanks to confused voters being sucked in by fear tactics, basically picking up tips from Donald Trump types, or local State politicians; in other words a fraud, politically. our confused voters see nothing sincere about the Liberal leader, his strength if any, his form of bad mouthing, not to mention the silver spoon in his mouth. And the not so mighty Magpies, or Foot-escray? so close, thus last match, or one more ? Be safe, particularly after 7PM. But wait, one more. Exactly what did those Sydney boys do wrong?

AUSTRALIAN STORY: CELEBRATING 30 YEARS
STEVE IRWIN: A WILD LIFE
ABC TV, 8pm
NINE, 8.40pm
As it turns out, telling real stories about real people never gets old. Nor does celebrating the strengths and weaknesses of the human spirit, or the extraordinary achievements of everyday Australians. This documentary-current affairs hybrid is marking 30 years of insightful, original storytelling with a live event held at the Sydney Opera House. Presenter Leigh Sales (right) welcomes Claudia Karvan, Michael Klim, Mechelle Turvey, Eddie Woo, Gayle and Mac Shann, as well as the woman who began it all, executive producer Deborah Fleming, to reflect on the program’s legacy.
On Friday, it will be 20 years since the world lost its most enigmatic and passionate wildlife conservationist. Journalist Charles Wooley, who spent an unforgettable day with Steve Irwin (above) in 2002 for 60 Minutes, reflects on the iconic zookeeper’s singular skillset, exuberance and legacy in this hour-long documentary. Sharing unseen footage from their shoot and across Irwin’s career, it’s an unfiltered exploration of how an ordinary bloke born in Upper Ferntree Gully rose to fame and took the planet by storm. Exclusive interviews with his inner circle including friends, colleagues and family (Terri, Bindi and Robert appear in archival material) paint a vivid portrait of a larger-than-life character. 2808

Mornington battles Somerville in football semi-final Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE first semi-final in the Mornington Peninsula Football Association was played on Saturday last between Mornington and Somerville in the Frankston Park. The weather during Saturday morning was rather discouraging, as rain was falling. Anyhow in the afternoon the sun shone and a splendid match was the result. There was a large crowd of spectators in attendance; the gate amounting to £40. Somerville fielded a strong team, and so did Mornington. Final scores: Somerville, 8 goals 10 behinds. Mornington, 7 goals.7 behinds. Somerville deserve credit for their good win. On the day Mornington were beaten by a better team. Mornington team and supporters were surprised at Somerville’s victory and fell heavily, but it was generally admitted that the better team won. Seen after the match and congratulated on their win the Somerville captain (N. Unthank) said it had been a fine game all through with an utter absence of any malice or unnecessary roughness. The Mornington captain (Don. Hutchins) expressed the same opinion, and when asked to sign a protest he point blank refused, saying that if Mornington could not win on their merits he for one did not want it on a protest. ***
Foreshore Erosion – Complaints For Mornington Reference to foreshore erosion on the eastern side of Port Phillip Bay and to the damage done by storm conditions at Mornington were made on Wednesday by a deputation representing Mornington foreshore committee that waited on the State Minister of Works to request financial assistance from the Government towards efforts to cope with the problem. One speaker maintained that the work of widening and deepening The Rip had led to higher tides in the bay; thus accentuating the erosion that was taking place. The Minister of Lands (Mr. Downward, Member for Mornington) introduced the deputation. The chairman of the foreshore committee (Mr. L. J. Flanagan) said the committee had spent as much money as it could afford in putting up a wall 96 feet in length near the approach to Fisherman’s Beach. Erosion was going on steadily and rapidly, and the deputation desired to make a request for Government assistance in extending the protecting wall. The Government might grant half the cost, and advance the other half on the understanding that the committee paid it back at the rate of, say, £25 a year. Cr. F. M. Linley said despite certain estimates that the work of protecting the foreshore would cost “thousands of pounds”, a good 1000 feet wall could be erected by the expenditure of about £300, which it was suggested the Government might advance. If the erosion continued at its pres-
ent rate, the Esplanade might “go down into the Bay”. The Minister said the request of the deputation opened up a big question – that of the cost of preventing erosion of the whole of the eastern side of the Bay. Undoubtedly very serious erosion was going on, and there was a big question as to the responsibility of municipalities in coping with the problem, how the necessary money should be raised, and what contribution the Government should make. These matters had not been definitely dealt with as yet. The particular case represented by the deputation really opened up the whole question. He was surprised to hear that a suitable wall could be built for £300. Mr. Harris, M.L.C., when acting Minister of Works, had received a big deputation on the general question of foreshore protection, and he (the Minister) could confer with Mr. Harris and Cabinet on the subject. *** Electric Light System – Ratepayer’s Criticism. To the Editor. Sir, The report upon the electric supply system of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, published in the last issue of “The Standard” indicates that the electric light department of the Shire is badly in need of overhaul. The total power taken from the State Electricity Commission during the last financial year is stated at 196,020 units, and the units sold by the council to the consumers amounted to 157,182, the difference, 38,838 units
represent the transformer and distribution losses council’s reticulation system, an efficiency of 80.2 percent, which appears too low. It should be observed that the Commission’s charge per unit covers the transmission losses over the Commission’s lines up to the substation at Frankston. The essential details necessary for full technical and economic consideration of the administration of the electric light department, and the merits of the proposals submitted to the electric light are not disclosed in the report. For example, the administration and running costs of the electric light department for the last financial year are shown at £6556, which is a very important item. Apparently it is this item of expenditure which mainly accounts for the necessity of the council charging the local consumers 108 per cent above the Commission’s charges. The estimated expenditure for the current financial year is stated at £7366, an increase of. £810. What is the cause of this increased expenditure? The casual manner in which this item of expenditure is mentioned in the report greatly detracts from the merits of the proposals. It is disturbing to learn that the council has not been informed until recently of the correct financial position of the electric light department, and that the department should have been permitted to drift into its present chaotic position. Since the falling off of the work of fitting new installations, sales, etc., has any reduction been made in the
staff of employees of the council’s electric light department? One of the reasons given for the present financial position of the department is that extensions have been paid for out of revenue, instead of loan money, which should have been provided by the council, with adequate provision for interest and redemption payments. Because the council have failed to provide the necessary loan money for extensions, the electric, light department propose to call upon the ratepayers to provide funds for extensions. It is understood that in a number of cases extensions involving, heavy expenditure have been paid for by consumers requiring supply. I feel sure it will be generally agreed that the report submitted to the electric light committee discloses a very unsatisfactory state of affairs, and the measures proposed to balance accounts by further loading the already over-taxed ratepayer requires careful investigation into the management of this department of the council’s activities. A decision of the council to refer the matter for complete investigation by a special committee appointed by the council, with the necessary authority and professional advice, would be welcomed by the ratepayers. Yours, etc F. G. CRESSWELL. “Wyantoak”, Frankston *** From the Pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 27 August 1926

FRANKSTON YCW couldn’t hold on against Sorrento. Picture: Craig Barrett
By Kennedy McCullough
MEN’S DIV ONE SEN THIS weekend was the final round of MPFNL Division One Men’s Seniors, with the final five now set for finals beginning next weekend.

Somerville falter, and Seaford out for 2026 MPFNL
By Kennedy McCullough
MEN’S DIV TWO SEN RED Hill managed to best Somerville in the first qualifying match of the 2026 finals series. In the first quarter, the scores were very close, with Somerville scoring 2.4 while Red Hill scored 3.5. Somerville only managed to score one point in the quarter before the long break while Red Hill scored 4.3, resulting in Red Hill going into the
long break with a 33-point lead. In the third quarter, Somerville still struggled to score, only adding one point to their total while Red Hill scored a further 2.4. Somerville were finally able to get into gear in the final quarter, scoring 4.1, but it was too little, too late. Red Hill put on five goals in the final quarter, further pulling away from the Eagles. The final scores were Red Hill, 14.14 (98), too good for Somerville, 6.7 (43). The result of this game means that
next week, Red Hill will take on Chelsea for a guaranteed spot in the grand final. Somerville are given a final chance in 2026 against Frankston Bombers next weekend, after their win against Seaford on Sunday (23 August). The scores were close in the first quarter, with the Bombers ahead by only one point after scoring 2.4 to Seaford’s 2.3. In the second quarter, Seaford claimed the lead by three points after scoring a further 3.1 to the Bombers’ 2.3.

Portsea wins Victorian Life Saving Club of the Year PORTSEA Surf Life Saving Club have won Victorian Club of the Year at the 2026 Life Saving Victoria Awards of Excellence. The club took home the Sir Frank Beaurepaire Shield for the third time at the award show on 15 August. President Matt Mahon said it is great recognition for Portsea SLSC, who are now in the running for Australian Club of the Year. “I really do think and hope that it’s seen by our members as a win for everybody,” said Mahon. “We had a big crew of members at the actual awards night itself because we had finalists in a number of other categories, but everybody’s been really excited.” Jack Mitchell was up for Junior Lifesaver of the Year, Jack White for Assessor of the Year, Bev Thomas for Masters Athlete of the Year, Portsea Nippers for Nipper Program of the Year, and the Surf Academy Program for Innovation of the Year. Mahon said all the finalists deserve to be celebrated, even if they didn’t take home an award. “To be a finalist among the best clubs and individuals in Victoria is a genuine achievement and it speaks to the depth of talent and dedication we have across every corner of this club,” said Mahon. Mahon said Club of the Year is hard to come by, but Portsea’s commitment to member engagement set them apart. “We’ve had a really big focus this year on member engagement and trying to create opportunities for members across all of the various cohorts,
ages, and so forth,” said Mahon. “It’s been fantastic to see a lot more of our younger people getting involved in running our education programs.” Mahon said they had 511 members who did some form of beach patrol over the summer, and the award was a “great team effort”. The club will represent Victoria and be in the running for Australian Club of the Year at the Surf Life Saving Australia Awards of Excellence, which will take place in Sydney in November. “There’s over 350 life-saving clubs around Australia, so, certainly not taking that for granted,” said Mahon. “But we’ll certainly set our sights on it, and we’ll do everything we can to fly the flag for Victoria and for Portsea and cross our fingers and toes and hope that we bring it home.” Mahon said the local community’s support has been fantastic and is greatly appreciated. “We know we’ve got a great club and we’re doing great things,” said Mahon. “It’s just nice to have some recognition, and it’s also nice for the people that have supported us to see that they’re backing a well-run club and that they’ve contributed to it as well.”

Aspendale close to promotion SOCCER By Craig MacKenzie ASPENDALE is on the verge of clinching promotion from State 7 South-East. Last season Aspendale finished third-last in State 5 but under the promotion and relegation rules in force due to a league restructure it dropped down two divisions to the newly created State 7. It was a bitter pill to swallow but under new coach Jason Grieve it has rebounded in style and has a three-point buffer over fourth-placed Keysborough District with two games remaining. The top three clubs are promoted with the fourth-placed club thrust into a promotion playoff with its State 7 North-West counterpart. Aspendale has an eight-goal superior goal difference to Keysborough District although it faces a slightly tougher draw than its pursuer. Aspendale is at home to fifth-placed Burwood City next weekend then signs off with an away fixture against sixth-placed Boronia. Keysborough District has an away clash with eighth-placed Cleeland United on Friday then hosts seventh-placed Glen Waverley in its season finale. Last weekend Aspendale continued its winning ways with a 3-0 home win over Cleeland United. Ryan Mravljak had the home side in front after eight minutes when he drilled the ball home from outside the box. Three minutes later it was Mravljak again this time with a tidy right-foot finish after a long throw from Nathan Padinis fell to him inside the area. Tom Machin’s free-kick was headed home by Oscar Carter in the 90th minute to round off a comfortable win. Mount Martha lost 4-0 away to Keysborough District last weekend. In VPL1 Langwarrin had its most important away win of the season downing champion side Melbourne Knights 2-0 on Sunday. The result secured the local club’s league status after flirting with relegation for some time. Langy had signed goalkeeper Jonty Benfield from Melbourne City on an emergency loan (injury allows clubs to sign keepers outside the transfer window) prior to this clash. Benfield likely expected to be much more active than he was indeed Knights only had two shots on target. So did Langy but it made its shots count. In the 6th minute Scott Lochhead won the ball in midfield then surged forward before unleashing a drive from outside the box that took a deflection and wrong-footed Knights keeper Gabriel Matti. In the 56th minute the Langy press won back the ball inside the attacking half. Alun Webb played the ball wide to Brad Blumenthal on the right and his low drive across the face of goal was tucked away at the far post by Tommy Youngs. In State 1 Skye all but locked in a relegation spot while Mornington had a bye. Skye lost 3-0 at home to South Springvale on Friday night and it would take a miracle for the

local club to avoid the drop given it sits on the bottom of the ladder four points clear of safety with the worst goal difference in the league by some margin. In State 2 Peninsula Strikers lost 5-2 away to Noble Park United on Friday night. Luca Maio put the home side 1-0 up in the 20th minute with a strike that beat Strikers keeper Jamie Walker who was at full stretch. Six minutes later it was 1-1 when Hayden Schreck and Matt Harrington combined to play in Oscar Colgate-Jones who buried his shot from the left-hand side of the box. Noble Park regained the lead in the 30th minute through former Baxter captain Alex Dukic who took two attempts to score after his initial strike bounced off the post. Strikers made three changes at half-time one of them being debutant Duval Donaldson but Noble Park went further ahead in the 54th minute with a low shot from Sarmad Nikakhter. Further goals from Maio and ex-Strikers player Joel Bowen gave the home side an insurmountable lead and in the 88th minute a Noor Nawrozi cross found Sonny Lindsay alone in the box to slot home the consolation. In State 4 Chelsea blew a four-goal lead away to Kings Domain last weekend while Baxter stunned league leader Springvale City and took a giant step towards avoiding relegation. Chelsea was cruising and in complete control after 35 minutes on Saturday. Or so it seemed. Two balls over the top had been finished by league top scorer James Stinson in the first 11 minutes then Alex Namar was at the back post to head in from a corner in the 33rd minute. Two minutes later an individual effort from Harry Parker ended when he drilled his shot through the keeper’s legs.

An unlikely comeback started right on halftime when Iain Hay Higgins converted from the penalty spot then a second-half brace to Joe Blackham and a Dylan Keane goal shared the spoils. To add to Chelsea’s woes Michael Swinnerton missed a penalty and Dylan Scott was shown a straight red for dissent. Baxter was staring down the barrel when hosting Springvale City on Saturday but defied its critics with a surprising 3-0 win. Charlie O’Connell was suspended and head coach Billy Armour switched Aiden McKenna from his usual defensive role to playing as a central striker. Baxter’s back four defended as if their lives depended on the outcome and that was the foundation for this result. The home team’s cause was boosted in the 35th minute when McKenna’s attempted lob was handled outside the area by advancing Springvale keeper Angelo Ioakimidis and referee John Palatsides had little choice but to red card the visitors’ custodian. That forced Springvale into a substitution with back-up keeper Trevor Day coming on. Six minutes later a moment of individual brilliance from Tez Hashemi was rewarded when his pinpoint cross to the back post was headed in off the post by Ali Hazarah. Four minutes into the second half the hardworking McKenna chased down Simon Webster’s back pass and Day’s attempted clearance deflected off McKenna and into goal to make it 2-0. A moment of madness in the 63rd minute saw Baxter’s Kyle Eichenberger sent off. He’d been booked in the first half and when he decided to hold onto the ball following a freekick to Springvale his deliberate act of time wasting earned a second caution. But Baxter’s defence weathered the resulting momentum swift and five minutes from time the local fans were celebrating after Robbie O’Toole set up Ali Noor who half-volleyed his decisive strike into the top corner of the Springvale net capping an excellent overall performance from the home team. Still in State 4 Rosebud lost 3-1 away to Ringwood City last weekend. Elliott Craig scored for Rosebud. In State 5 local rivals Seaford United and Somerville Eagles shared the points in a six-goal shootout at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday. Seaford was without Hayden Hicks due to concussion and Blake Hicks took over in goal. Dylan Waugh put the home side 1-0 up in the 10th minute when he outmuscled Hamish Bugden and lobbed Nick Bucello. Marcus Anastasiou equalised in the 39th minute when Seaford was slow in setting up and a quick set piece from the Eagles provided Anastasiou with simple tap-in. Seaford regained the lead seven minutes into the second half when Waugh’s cross from the left was converted from close range by Conor Mc-
Fall. But the home side was on the back foot when Somerville scored twice within a minute. A Hicks error in the 55th minute led to Max Watson squaring the ball for Tom Simnmons to smash home and make it 2-2. Seaford barely had time to blink before it went 3-2 down when Hicks missed an attempted clearance and Watson was able to tap the ball into an empty net. Seaford equalised in the 67th minute through a goalmouth scramble following a Jayden LeBron cross with Jay McCabe tapping the ball home. In the last 20 minutes Bucello pulled off four brilliant saves and Somerville looked likely to grab the points late only for Anastasiou to be denied by Hicks who made amends for earlier errors with an excellent save. In State 6 an Alfie Harris goal was all that separated promotion contenders Mount Eliza and Whitehorse United at Emil Madsen Reserve on Saturday. Harris struck in the 60th minute to give Mount Eliza a precious three points in what is an intriguing promotion battle. A scramble inside the box following a Noah Green corner saw Harris manage to get boot to ball in the pivotal moment of the contest. Mount Eliza will win automatic promotion if it finishes in the top three and will go into a promotion play-off if it finishes fourth. Gerry McDonagh’s men are currently fourth with just two points separating second from fifth. Casey Panthers and Frankston Pines drew 2-2 at Monterey Reserve on Saturday evening. It was a home clash for Casey who switched venues as its ground was waterlogged. Pines took the lead on 12 minutes when an inswinging corner was met by a Charley Hunt header only for it to be blocked on the line. Zac Beitner was on hand to turn it in at the back post. Casey piled on the pressure as it approached half-time. The Panthers hit the post after being awarded a harsh penalty then levelled in the 44th minute when their captain Ben Rigby was given too much time on the edge of the box and hit a fantastic strike into the roof of the net. The Panthers were awarded another penalty in the 52nd minute and this time Alisina Hussaini made no mistake to make it 2-1. Pines built into the second half from this point and slowly started to control play. Their good football finally paid off when a great piece of one-touch passing saw Kenny Akalan play a one-two with Said Uygur before firing the ball into the bottom corner for an 84th minute equaliser. Mentone lost 3-1 away to Knox United. Imran Afzali scored for Mentone who had Sulkipli Sulican red carded in the 63rd minute.
