This walk’s nothing to sneeze about A DEBILITATING bout of flu was the unlikely rationale for Blairgowrie resident Maxim Wood, 78, to take up the challenge of the 100-kilometre Melbourne Oxfam Trailwalker. For most, the mere thought of walking long distances is enough to make us want to sit down. But, for Mr Wood, the excitement of a “new journey” and a chance to raise money for charity was just the motivation he needed. A Melbourne Marathon devotee since 1978, Mr Wood had suffered a forced early retirement from long-distance exercise in 2002 after a check-up and a flu injection had an unexpected outcome. “Never previously having had the flu, you guessed it, I caught the flu from the injection, therefore missed the next marathon and it broke the continuity,” he said. But his running shoes weren’t off for long, with the inaugural Oxfam Trailwalker starting the following year. With a few missed along the way, this year will be Mr Wood’s 10th and he will celebrate his 79th birthday three weeks after the walk finishes on 9 April. His son Miguel, 47, has been doing the walk with him for the past nine years, and is hoping to do his 10th, with his father, in 2018. Mr Wood, whose team is number 77 and named Euler’s Bridge, is hoping to raise more than $1400. “I think it’s a great motivation to stay fit and stay active and help others,” he said. The Oxfam Trailwalker is a 100 kilometre walk for teams of four who must complete the course in 48 hours. Each team pledges to raise a minimum of $1400, which goes towards alleviating poverty around the world. The walk starts at Jells Park, Wheelers Hill on 7 April and finishes at Warburton. Liz Bell

‘Unfair, underhanded’ $1000 offer Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire CEO Carl Cowie has been accused of “unfair and underhanded” tactics by the union negotiating council staff pay and conditions amid fears some council services will be outsourced.

revealed Mr Cowie is offering permanent council employees a one-off payment of $1000 each and casual staff $300 in a move the union describes as “a dirty trick from the CEO”. The “incentive” payment to all staff would cost ratepayers about $1 million, according to the ASU. In a flyer headed “Don’t let the CEO buy your vote - when the time comes, vote no”, ASU branch secretary Rich-

ard Duffy said the shire wants staff to effectively sign away redundancy rights if they refuse to be transferred to a new employer. The union says staff sick leave will be slashed under the proposed new enterprise bargaining agreement. ASU branch executive president Michelle Jackson said the “unfair changes to sick leave entitlements had upset the hardworking staff at the council”.

“Staff are outraged that sick leave that has been used to support staff many of whom are also members of the community - through life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, is being slashed,” Ms Jackson stated. The union representative said the shire is offering staff a 6.8 per cent pay rise over three years but is cutting sick leave and penalty rates in the proposed new agreement.

“The CEO is splashing around $1 million in sign-on bonuses to get the staff to vote yes to a substandard agreement.” The union says casual staff, making up 27 per cent of the workforce, are not eligible for redundancies or sick leave. “So casuals have nothing to lose by taking the $300 sign-on bonus” although “it is not their fault”, the union says.

Wharton comes first in closely-fought regatta

Crossing the line: Andy Wharton’s Accrewed Interest took out the Melges 24 Nationals at the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron. Picture: Ally Graham.

By Harry Fisher ANDY Wharton and the crew on his yacht Accrewed Interest clinched what was a closely-fought Helly Hansen Melges 24 Nationals of Blairgowrie, Saturday 4 February, coming from second overall to overtake Jon Newman’s Penultimate Challenge. A lack of wind on the final day of racing meant only one race could be sailed early, prompting some nervous waiting around by the sailors at the top end of the fleet, before racing began. Wharton’s regatta was consistent: he finished with a flurry of top-three results and was able to drop his seventh place from heat 4 and fourth from heat 8 to take the championship by one point. Newman, however, was less consistent. His week began with a slow start, but on the second and third day of racing his crew came back into contention with two bullets, two seconds, a third and a fifth, making them poised for battle on the final day. It seemed the inconsistencies of the Penultimate Challenge team got the better of them once too often, as Newman finished sixth in the final race while Wharton steamed into a second place and overall victory. Former national champion Chris Links, on Roger That, was in touch for most of the event, but wasn’t quick enough to be at the top. He finished third overall one point ahead of fourth-placed Dave Alexander, on Kowabunga, which won the last heat. David Young and his crew on Kraken were in the mix and finished fifth overall, with the final four placings spread further apart. The class continues to show great diversity with men and women of all ages all showing improvement and top sportsmanship. Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron ran a seamless regatta with superb race management creating exciting racing on the water and with the upgraded facilities providing the sailors with a great social atmosphere off the water.

Biosphere faces cash crisis Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au WITHOUT an urgent injection of funds the Western Port Biosphere could collapse within two months. Dire financial circumstances being faced by the biosphere were outlined last week at an extraordinary general meeting which gave the board of directors the power to wind up the “company” if money is not found by the end of this month, February. With only four of the five “partner” municipalities contributing towards its annual income the biosphere has been forced to use its cash reserves to make up the shortfall. Executive officer Cecelia Witton told the Tuesday 31 January meeting that the biosphere looked like being “insolvent sometime in April”. “Depending on the outcome of current negotiations, and with confirmed commitments for $7000 and a possible additional $5000, this would still leave

$8000 short ... for the remainder of the year,” Ms Witton said. Since its inception 12 years ago, annual grants have been made to the biosphere by Mornington Peninsula Shire, Bass Coast, Cardinia and Casey, but the withdrawal of funding by Frankston Council has left it $20,000 a year short for several years. The Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve (operating as Western Port Biosphere) is run from an office in Salmon St, Hastings, and its latest annual report shows $31,500 in “occupancy expenses” and $86,000 “employee benefits” among its $600,000 yearly running costs. Chair of the biosphere board Duncan Malcolm, in the October 2016 annual report, hoped Frankston’s withdrawal of financial support temporary and thanked the four remaining municipalities for “honouring … their initial pledge”. Mr Malcolm’s concerns about finances were echoed in the same report by Ms Witton who saw strengthening

the biosphere’s financial position as its most pressing challenge. “Your directors and staff are working hard to get additional support in this area, without success in this endeavour, our future is not assured,” Ms Witton said. Three months later finances are worse and the board now has permission to “start the voluntarily wind up of the company if the board decides that such action become necessary”. In a message emailed to members and posted on the biosphere’s website after last week’s meeting Ms Witton said there had “seemed to be some confusion during the meeting, about the purpose of the meeting and of the vote” (which gave the wind up powers to the board). “Rest assured that we are doing everything in our power to find the extra funds required and to put in place long term agreements with the councils and others in order to provide surety for the future of the biosphere and we are con-

fident of doing so,” Ms Witton stated. “Given the position of the Biosphere the board wished to call this meeting to make the members aware of our position and to ask the members to empower them to make any tough decisions that need to be made and to let the members know of the process moving forward.” Ms Witton said the board was “working on gaining the required funding from numerous sources” as well as seeking a “multi-year” memorandum of understanding with the councils. The 2142 square-kilometre Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve - one of 14 in Australia – includes five local government areas and French Island. Listed under the UNESCO’s man and the biosphere program, it includes national and marine parks, rural agriculture and urban-growth areas. Western Port is also listed under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International significance.

Biospheres are described as being “sites of excellence that seek to reconcile conservation of biological and cultural diversity and economic and social development through partnerships between people and nature”. Although they have no statutory powers biospheres are seen as being “ideal learning sites to test and demonstrate innovative approaches to sustainable development and conservation on a regional scale”. The Western Port Biosphere says it “works with the community to create a better future for the Western Port Biosphere Reserve environmentally, socially and economically. We do this through research, education, community engagement, partnerships and onground conservation efforts”. Projects it has undertaken include Growing connections (habitat corridors); Water stewardship; Protecting Ramsar values; Watson C reek, Somerville; and the southern brown bandicoot recovery program.

Apprenticeship campaign sets sail AN APPRENTICESHIP campaign launched last week at Hart Marine in Mornington aims to put an extra 100 young people in Dunkley on the path to a career in just 60 days. Under the campaign, Australian Apprenticeship Network Providers will work with employers to provide new opportunities for job seekers. Launching the scheme with federal Assistant Vocational Education and Skills Minister Karen Andrews, Dunkley Liberal MP Chris Crewther encouraged employers to get on board. Mr Crewther said Hart Marine was a good example of a local business which trained apprentices in skills

necessary for the workforce. The firm, established in 1983, has trained 31 apprentices in those years and currently has 11. “With such good prospects for an employment outcome I am hopeful that young people and employers embrace this campaign to raise apprentice numbers in the Melbourne southeast region,” Mr Crewther said. “We are especially looking to those employers who have not taken on apprentices or trainees before or have not taken on one for some time to consider doing so.” Ms Andrews said apprenticeships were a great way of providing a pathway to a job and career, and at the

RCC_FriendJoin_QrtPortraitAdvert [VR5]_16-12-16_ART.indd 1

same time helped tackle unemployment. “There are hundreds of apprenticeship options available to Australians and increasing the number of skilled workers in Dunkley will be good for the local economy,” she said. About 90 per cent people who complete an apprenticeship transition straight into full-time employment. “My message to people is simple: you don’t need to go to university to develop skills, get a job and build a fulfilling career. An Australian Apprenticeship can take you there.” For more information on apprenticeship options, see australianapprenticeships.gov.au online.

MELBOURNE Water has confirmed it made several unsuccessful attempts to sell a 5.6 hectare piece of prime Rosebud land to the Mornington Peninsula Shire for community use, before applying to have the land rezoned for development. Melbourne Water has declared the three lots of land in and around Jetty Rd as surplus to its needs and wants to rezone it under the controversial Fast Track Amendment scheme from public use zone 1 to general residential zone 1, potentially pocketing tens of millions of dollars from developers. Under the Fast Track process, agencies that want to sell public land must offer it to other government authorities, such as councils, before putting it on the open market. At the 30 January council meeting, Rosebud resident Doris Campbell asked if the council and councillors were aware that the shire could have purchased the land under the “first right of refusal” offer by Melbourne Water at a discounted rate of 30 per cent. Planning services manager David Bergin said it was his “understanding” that the land was only offered to

the shire at the full market price. He said the modus operandi of the current state government was to sell off stateowned land in order to recoup as much money as possible. But that comment contradicts The News’ understanding that when councils buy state-owned land for community use, a hefty discount applies. Ms Campbell, who is spearheading a campaign to stop the rezoning and retain some of the land as open space, said it was disappointing if the council had missed out on the opportunity to buy the land and keep it as open space for the community. Ms Campbell said that the convener of a Melbourne Water public information session held late last year in Dromana told residents that if the shire purchased part of, or all of the land for community use, Melbourne Water would sell it at the discounted rate. At the meeting, the council resolved that it would be seeking an assurance from Melbourne Water that open space elements along the creek and the important vegetation were retained and gifted back to council. Ms Campbell said residents were furious with the rezoning plans, and had started a petition to stop the land from being lost to the community.

FARMERS near Buckleys Reserve, Merricks North, are being trained to kill foxes and rabbits. The training is part of a feral control project by members of Merricks Coolart Catchment Landcare Group. Dismayed by the high rates of native wildlife loss on the Mornington Peninsula, the group has received approval to implement feral controls, including culling. The project is being funded by the Port Phillip & Western Port Catchment Management Authority through the federal government’s National Landcare Program. “This is a great chance for landholders to work together to take positive action that will benefit local indigenous animals,” Landcare group president Alan Costello said.

“Rabbit reduction is critical in reducing damage to native plants, maintaining pasture and avoiding soil erosion. Residents are particularly excited about the opportunity to undertake fauna monitoring on their properties using motion-activated fauna cameras.” The Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network’s Dr Jacqui Salter supports the project. “Much of the high quality habitat in the Merricks Coolart catchment region is privately owned,” she said. “If landholders can undertake feral animal control in a coordinated manner, we can better support indigenous animals in the region, many of which are threatened by fox predation. In addition, rabbits can alter habitat and compete with indigenous fauna for

food.” Endangered species in the area, including the growling grass frog and the blue-billed duck will benefit as both are threatened by foxes. Parks Victoria ranger Luke Ashford is pleased community action is supporting fauna at the reserve. “We think this is a fantastic project …and look forward to seeing the results.” Landholders close to Buckleys Reserve are invited to join the project. The first information session on Saturday 18 February will provide advice on how landholders can help protect indigenous fauna and be involved in the project.

Anger over ‘new’ pier’s beach block

Beachgoers are angry that a new jetty at Sorrento effectively blocks their beach access for most of the day, except for low tide. Picture: Yanni

12336848-HM03-17

SORRENTO residents fear their access to a popular beach has been blocked because a private jetty being built to replace a former structure does not conform to the same specifications. The jetty being built at Sullivan’s Bay is one of three jetties that have been at the beach for around 40 or 50 years. But residents are angry that it is being replaced with a bigger one that now prevents access unless the tide is out. Leanne Austin said she was upset that the Mornington Peninsula Shire had not enforced regulations that required replacement jetties to be the same size. “We can’t walk under this new jetty to access the beach, and not everyone can climb over it,” she said. “It’s effectively blocked people from the using the public beach.” Another resident, Trevor Robinson, said the jetty had a “keep off’ sign, which discouraged people from walking over it to get to the beach when the tide was in. “But that sign isn’t going to stop me from accessing the beach, this is public property,” he said. Ms Austin said her complaints to the council had been disappointing, with council officers being “dismissive and rude”. “I have spoken to several people at the shire and they have told me that there is nothing that can be done now that the building has started, and that there had been no other complaints when I know for a fact that many people have contacted the council,” she said. “In all my dealings I have tried to be polite and patients, but the whole experience has been horrific because they have been so rude.” Ms Austin said she had been told by a council officer that there was “no record” of the specifications being included when the permit was passed. Ironically, the beach is part of a tourism coastal walk from Cameron's Bight. “All the money the council has spent to improve nearby Cameron’s Bight will be wasted if people now can’t actually complete the walk,” Ms Austin said. Mornington Peninsula Shire did not respond before deadline. Liz Bell

Bombing survivours return to Darwin 75 years after attack ALMOST 75 years ago, a young Mornington lad and then 18-year-old army enlistee experienced an event that rocked Australia - the unthinkable enemy attack on Darwin. Next week, the now 95-year-old World War II veteran will fly north again, this time for the anniversary of the bombing of Darwin. Alan Day, who still lives in Mornington and is president of the Darwin Defenders Melbourne committee, was there in 1942 when the Japanese flew 64 raids on Darwin and 33 raids on other targets in Northern Australia. The RAAF medical orderly watched in horror as aircraft darkened the skies above Darwin and peppered the small town and harbour with bombs, killing more than 200 people. It will be a bittersweet experience for Mr Day, who is looking forward to meeting up with other survivors and defence personnel, but who is still haunted by his wartime experiences. “I’m very excited and honoured to be invited, but I’m not even sure if there will be anybody else that I know, because I’m 95 you know,” he said. Mr Day, who also served in Borneo with the army, said he had seen some distressing things during the war. “Medical orderlies were faced with some terrible scenes, because we were the ones who had to go out to check the bodies and see who was dead or alive,” he said. “It was all

Shire’s pay ploy

pretty confronting.” Mr Day will spend five days in Darwin and will join around 45 former diggers, evacuees, widows and civilians for the occasion, including 29 bombing of Darwin veterans. Veterans Affairs minister Dan Tehan said Australians would pause and reflect on the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Darwin on 19 February. He said the attacks had brought World War II to Australian shores, and Australians should pause to remember those killed and those who defended Darwin “on this national day of observance”. The national commemoration, organised by the Northern Territory government, will recognise the anniversary with a service at the Cenotaph on the Darwin Esplanade at 9.30 am, with an air raid siren at 9.58 am to mark the precise time the first attack took place. The Australian American Association of the Northern Territory will also conduct a USS Peary memorial service. “Australia has been fortunate that global conflict has rarely reached our shores and the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Darwin is an opportunity to reflect on the lives lost because of the attack and to be grateful for the men and women of our armed forces who fight to defend us.” Liz Bell

TRIVIA NIGHT / FUNDRAISER FRIDAY 17TH FEB 2017

Continued from Page 1 The union says Mr Cowie told them late last year council is looking at outsourcing the running of Home and Community Care (HACC) services provided by the shire. “Council are seeking to reduce employees’ current entitlement to take a redundancy rather than have their employment transferred to the new provider,” Ms Jackson said. “It is also an attempt to cut their current conditions to make it more attractive for potential contractors and service providers to take the employees on.” The possible outsourcing of HACC services comes after the shire put out an expression of interest last year for contractors to manage Sports and Leisure operations on behalf of council. “No decision to contract out the running of facilities has been made yet,” Ms Jackson said. “We believe this is because the current enterprise agreement doesn’t make the transfer of employees an attractive proposition for either council or the potential contractors and service providers.” Mr Cowie would not comment when asked questions about the offer to pay staff a one-off “incentive” ahead of a vote to accept the enterprise bargaining agreement. “It’s inappropriate for us to comment on enterprise bargaining agreements while negotiations are still taking place,” Mr Cowie said. “We take these negotiations very seriously and will continue the dialogue with our employees directly.” At January’s public council meeting he said negotiations were ongoing. “We’ve done fairly extensive enterprise bargaining negotiations between ourselves as the shire employer and the unions that represent different groups of staff within the shire,” the CEO said. “That is an important piece of work that the organisation does to try and, as best as possible, give a fair pay rise to the staff but also attempt to contain the costs of operations for the future.” The existing agreement expired at the end of December. Council staff will vote on the new EBA at the end of February. A majority is needed for staff to accept the new pay and condition terms. All employees, both permanent and casual, have equal voting rights.

Esso smokes to cut gas impacts Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au BLACK smoke belching from oilcompany Esso’s Long Island smoke stacks was part of “scheduled maintenance works on the main process units”, a company spokesman said last week. Communications advisor Travis Parnaby said the works – to run 28 January to 22 February – “had [been] carefully planned to minimise impacts on our local community and the environment”. “However, there will be a necessary increase in flaring throughout the course of these important works.” The smoke was noticeable on a day of total fire ban. Readers contacted The News to complain that the unwelcome airborne haze – part of the flaring process – was a “disgrace”. “I love the Mornington Peninsula for its natural beauty and diversity, but must admit that I’ve been shocked by the degree of pollution from the flaring stacks at Long Island Point,” Leslie Carter, of Hastings, said. “How are these emissions tolerated?” He had also sent an incident report to the EPA. Another resident, who asked not to be named, said: “I was stopped in my tracks by a large angry plume of black smoke on what was a total fire ban day”. “It was in the direction of my home and staining right across the sky and visible from as far away as Frankston

and even Dandenong. “I drove towards home to find it was Esso once again billowing tarry black oily smoke into the air. “Surely in this day and age an afterburner or filter of some kind could clean up this embarrassment on Hastings township.” Despite obvious black smoke, Mr Parnaby said the use of the flare “minimises environmental impacts by safely

burning excess gas, ensuring it does not escape into the atmosphere”. That raised eyebrows with the residents: “They have been belching out a steady stream of black smoke, day and night, for weeks now which, in the present weather conditions, can only be concerning for anyone at risk of respiratory disease, or generally alert to the dangers of airborne carcinogens,” Mr Carter said.

“The fact that this plume of acrid smoke also drifts over an acknowledged Ramsar site of special scientific importance should also be a point of shame for those responsible. “I did a little research online and found out that even in Nigeria – considered to be a Third World nation – the government has pledged to phase out wasteful and polluting flare-burning practises as soon as possible.

“We should expect better of a country with the international status and unique beauty of Australia.” Esso’s Mr Parnaby said the work was a “key part of our scheduled maintenance program which helps Esso prevent unplanned incidents or disruptions to the plant’s operations”. He said Esso had “engaged” with Mornington Peninsula Shire, EPA and CFA about the maintenance works.

Green light for luxury hotel Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A LUXURY hotel, to be called Jackalope, being built at Willow Creek Vineyard will open its doors to visitors in March. State Labor Planning Minister Richard Wynne has backed Mornington Peninsula Shire’s decision late last year to grant approval for the construction of a $26 million hotel with 46 rooms and two restaurants at 166 Balnarring Rd, Merricks North (“Winery can expand - shire”, The News 12/12/16). A 7-4 majority of councillors at November’s public council meeting supported the plan to build the hotel in a green wedge zone after council officers stated the winery business had “existing use rights”. State green wedge regulations stipulate the maximum number of people allowed on site at a venue situated in a green wedge is 150 people for locations of less than 40 hectares. The winery is situated on an 18-hectare site but Mr Wynne had no objection to about 280 people frequenting the Merricks North site at any one time. A spokesman for the minister said the planning permit was “a matter for the local council and applicant”. “The winery is operating under a number of lawfully-issued planning permits, some of which were subject to a VCAT review process,” spokesman Patrick Lane said in a statement. “The expansion of the Merricks North winery

will boost tourism in the region, stimulating the economy and creating jobs.” Chinese-born Melbourne-based Louis Li, a 28-year-old entrepreneur, is building the hotel and two restaurants called Doot Doot Doot and Rare Hare at the winery. A seven-metre tall jackalope — a mythical jackrabbit with antelope horns — will be installed at the entrance of the hotel. Mr Li had lodged a pre-emptive Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal appeal last year in the event of council rejecting the hotel plan. VCAT confirmed the hearing has been cancelled. Green Wedges Coalition coordinator Rosemary West, a Kingston councillor, said the approved application “allows an unacceptable overdevelopment of the site and a massive increase in the number of permitted patrons.” “We are disappointed that the approval is not going to be tested at VCAT because there appears to be a number of flaws in the way the application was approved,” she said. “It appears that little if no consideration was given to protecting the open, rural landscape of the Green Wedge. “Approval of the application sets an appalling precedent for more such damaging proposals.”

Fire up the generators for our own cheap energy The extraction of hydrogen from brown coal may prove to be not economically, technically or environmentally feasible (“Ship on way for hydrogen exports”, The News 7/2/17). We were, a few decades ago, going to make diesel fuel out of the stuff, but that was a flop. There are immense problems which may not be solved in the processing, transportation, storage, delivery and the waste by-product. If anything, we should be sending bulk brown coal to Japan, not Hastings. Let the Japanese worry about the pollution and emissions mess. We have centuries’ worth of energy in the Latrobe valley in the form of brown coal. It is immense. It is ours. It is completely free. The power generators were built to provide simple, cheap, reliable electricity for industry and the people of Victoria. We must revitalise the turbines and generators and even add more. All of the electricity distribution network and mining facilities are still there. It seems insane to be building hundreds of giant steel windmills sitting on giant concrete foundation slabs at a cost of a few million dollars each, when we already have unlimited power available. Carbon emissions? Probably worth it [when] compared to the alternatives. Maybe the sun is cyclically processing more hydrogen than usual, making the earth warmer and causing more carbon in our atmosphere. Maybe the “warming” is not because of human induced carbon. We have always had climate change, from much colder to much hotter, over the last few millenniums. There are some mad theories around, climatic and economic. Remember the giant $19 billion desalination plant built because of the prevailing climate theory which was perpetual drought? The theory was invalid. We are still paying

double our water costs and $1.8 million a day to clever overseas investors for this never-used plant. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Control the climate Readers will remember the TV series Star Trek and the catchy phrase “Beam me up Scottie” as the character, with the request to his watch band microphone, was transported back to his spaceship. What a wonderful invention. Scientists, engineers and medical experts, to name a few, have been able to provide us with some remarkable inventions. Unfortunately, it is unlikely they can invent a spray to restore neglected coal mines, areas of destroyed forest, bulldozed vegetation and polluted oceans. Offshore companies are exploiting our oil and gas reserves and pay no tax, yet the prices for these products are generally higher here than in Europe. Coal and gas are burnt to produce most of the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere, while the destruction of our natural resources continues. The spin on clean coal (no CO2 emissions) may eventually come true, as will “Beam me up Scottie”, but will it be too late to save the inevitable spiral of greater air temperatures, hotter and more numerous bush fires, more frequent storms, increased flooding and the destruction of food crops. Australia needs climate controls now, not in the future. Peter Strickland, Balnarring

reviewing the 1974 Wildlife Act to introduce limited culling of both of these species. Possums continue to destroy our fruit trees, gardens and trees in general and their droppings putrefy pathways and the ever present unAustralian love call of the Pakistani pigeons is a persistent irritant, not mention their in-flight droppings and attack on native habitats. Surely limited culling of these species is overdue and limited culling of possums is practiced successfully in other parts of Australia. One hopes the government will heed our frustrated plea. Ron O’Toole, Mt Eliza

Fears for wedge Martin Dixon appears not to see that by encouraging the flouting of the rules for development on green wedge land on the Mornington Peninsula he’s actually putting ever greater pressure on our natural environment, and so slowly diminishes the beauty and tranquillity of this exceptional place we live. He should not pretend that he represents the wishes of peninsula residents (“Green agriwedge” Letters 31/1/17). In this letter he seems to encourage the Mornington Peninsula Shire to facilitate even more development on ever smaller parcels of land. If he thinks I’m partisan, I would like to point out that his growth at any cost attitude seems to be typical of the present federal government’s philosophy. Yes, I would like to see more employment on the peninsula, but not at the cost of our exceptional natural assets. How about canvassing for some 21st century jobs for the industrial land north of Hastings? And some long overdue public transport links to the south of Melbourne, so people could live here and commute to meaningful jobs. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

No fear, MPs in charge

Cull the possums On the Mornington Peninsula as far north as Seaford we are pursued by plagues of possums and spotted doves (pigeons introduced from Pakistan in the late 1800s) and our current state government appears unwilling to consider

Underage kids running amok, disregard for the law, urged on by shadow premier Matthew Guy. Danny’s onto a proposal for a more heavyhanded approach to the youth justice system; admittedly overdue. The problem has been here the past seven years and it’s time to spend a large chunk of the surplus upgrading security. Maybe consider upgrading the peninsula bus service, with a travel time span Frankston to Rye today equal to that same time span in the 1940s. Worry not.

CFA seeks members MT MARTHA CFA is on the lookout for new members. It will be calling on residents over the next month to become daytime firefighters. Captain Brian Smith said volunteers did more than just firefighting. “Brigades need people who can assist with community education programs, promotions and displays, fundraising and administrative activities,” he said. “Volunteers receive nationally-accredited training and develop skills that can be used outside CFA, including in the workplace or at home. “Membership offers fresh challenges, as well as a chance to meet new people and give something back to the local community.” An information session will be held 7.30pm, Tuesday 21 March, at the fire station, 6 Latrobe Drive, Mt Martha. Captain Smith said the CFA was Victoria’s largest volunteer organisation. “It is a great way to involve the whole family in community service,” he said.

IT’S time for locals to roll up their sleeves and give the gift of life when the mobile donor centre visits Rosebud from 13 to 24 February. Currently, the visit is 50 donors short of what it needs during its visit to ensure there are enough supplies for patients in need. Australian Red Cross Blood Service spokesperson Wendy Todd urged locals to take the time and give blood. “What so many people don’t realise is that the majority of donated blood, around 35 per cent, goes to help cancer patients and people with blood diseases,” she said. “We are urging locals from the area to make an appointment to donate knowing every donation will help save three lives.” To make sure the donation process is as smooth as possible there are a few things locals can do to prepare. “If anyone is interested in donating, we would ask them to call 13 14 95 to make an appointment,” she said. “By making an appointment each donor will have a time reserved specifically for them on the machines and donation couches, helping to keep waiting times down. “Hydrating with plenty of water or juice and making sure you have had a good meal before you donate is also really important.” Rosebud has around 450 registered blood donors who make around 170 donations each time the mobile donor centre visits the area. Donating blood only takes an hour and is one of the easiest ways to give back to the community. If donors can’t make this visit the mobile donor centre will return from 19 to 30 June 2017. The mobile donor centre will be located in the Rosebud Bunnings car park and will be open: Monday 13 & 20 February: 4.30pm – 7.30pm Tuesday 14 & 21 February: 11.30am – 6.00pm

Wednesday 15 & 22 February: 10.30am – 6.00pm Thursday 16 & 23 February: 8.30am – 4.00pm Friday 17 & 24 February: 7.30am – 12.00pm To donate please contact the Australian Red Cross Blood Service on 13 14 95 or visit www.donateblood.com.au.

Antiques fair back for seconds AN antiques fair will be held at Monash University’s Frankston campus to raise money to support Life-Gate, a charity that helps disadvantaged, marginalised and disengaged youth. Pastor Ulli Roldan and Reverend Angel Roldan, wife and husband co-founders of Life-Gate, were named Citizens of the Year by Frankston Council for 2017 in recognition of their hard work and commitment to the disadvantaged in Frankston and the surrounding areas. There will be 45 stallholders, all undercover, selling a vast

range of antiques and collectables including china, glass, pottery, jewellery, books, dolls, bric a brac and more. The second annual Life-Gate antiques fair will be held at the Monash University Activity and Recreation Centre on Saturday 25 February, 9am-3.30pm. Entry $5 per adult, children free. Proceeds will go to Life-Gate, which operates street outreach services, counselling and art therapy programs for at-risk youth. See life-gate.org or call 03 9770 0595 for further details.

BYSTANDERS scattered during what police call a “hot arrest” in front of a busy Frankston serviced apartment complex at about 3pm last Sunday (5 February). Detectives tackled a man, 28, to the ground as he supposedly kept watch beside pillars in the forecourt of the multi-level Nepean Highway building and handcuffed him. Racing upstairs they raided an apartment and arrested the man’s two alleged accomplices – and man and a woman, both aged 34. The couple were allegedly in possession of 118 stolen drivers’ licences, credit cards, health care and other identity cards, as well as an imitation Beretta handgun. Detectives will allege the cards and licences were being used to produce fake identities in an elaborate fraud operation with links to possibly dozens of thefts over the past eight months. The first arrest warrant in relation to members of the group’s alleged fraudulent activities was issued in June last year. One of the accused was wanted on six warrants. Detective Senior Constable Paul Roberts, of the Embona taskforce,

said the elaborate identity theft operation began to unravel when Frankston police night shift Acting Sergeant Matt Pearce, doing a routine CBD patrol, spotted a stolen Ford sedan emerging from the building’s car park, early Saturday 4 February. It was red flagged as having been stolen during an aggravated burglary in Lilydale two days earlier. But, before other police units could arrive on the scene, the car sped out of Frankston. Detectives studied CCTV footage of the building’s car park and identified the occupants before finding the hotel room had been booked in real names. A clandestine search found the imitation pistol which police removed before the next day’s raid. Later, the Ford was found torched in Mulgrave, with the occupants possibly buying another car for cash in the eastern suburbs and driving it back to their apartment to plan their next move. Detective Roberts said the stolen cards were being used to set up bogus online accounts with banks. Minimum credit lines would then be accessed and money taken from victims’ accounts. He said it was unclear at this stage how much money had been stolen in this way.

Ross River virus alert hits region Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CASES of Ross River virus have been confirmed in Frankston and Casey, prompting health offers to warn residents to protect themselves against mosquito bites. Victoria’s chief health officer Professor Charles Guest said the virus had affected six residents and been detected in mosquitoes trapped nearby. In a worrying sign, the virus appears to have made its own way to Frankston. “None of the people diagnosed with Ross River virus have travelled to areas where mosquitoes carrying the virus are usually found,” Professor Guest said. Symptoms for Ross River virus include fever, headache, aching muscles

and joints as well as fatigue. Many infected people also develop a rash. People experiencing symptoms should see their GP or local hospital, he said. The onset of symptoms may be two-14 days following a mosquito bite. Frankston Council is trying to identify areas that may be the source of the Ross River virus. “Our Environmental Health Officers will inspect these areas and provide education regarding the management of mosquitoes,” mayor Cr Brian Cunial said. Cr Cunial said council is working with the Department of Health and Human Services and also Melbourne Water which manages the Seaford-Edithvale Wetlands. The mayor said council had not been

provided with specifics to combat the virus. “Council’s environmental health unit will investigate all requests from residents regarding possible breeding sites of mosquitoes on both public and private property,” Cr Cunial said. Professor Guest said recent heavy rain and warm weather had created conditions ideal for mosquitoes to breed. “We have seen a significant increase in mosquito numbers as a result,” he said. “Taking measures to avoid bites is a critical step to protect yourself and your family against mosquito-borne diseases.” DHHS spokesman Bram Alexander said local people affected lived in metropolitan Frankston. Peninsula Health’s head of infectious

diseases Dr Peter Kelley said because it takes time for the symptoms of the virus to show, the actual mosquito bites could be long gone. “If you notice any of the symptoms of Ross River virus, it’s important to visit your GP to be assessed as soon as possible,” Dr Kelley said. “But, as with any mosquito-borne illness, the best protection from this disease is to avoid getting bitten.” Professor Guest said forecast weather conditions over the next few weeks could provide extended ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes. “Mosquitoes are at their most active at dawn and dusk, although some species can be present and bite throughout the day,” he said. Insect screens should be fitted to doors

and windows and residents are encouraged to wear long, light coloured loosefitting clothing, and use an insect repellent containing picaridin or DEET as an active ingredient on exposed skin areas. Stagnant water around the home or campsite is the ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes – such as in old tyres, fish ponds, water tanks and pot plant holders. “As mosquitoes can hatch quickly, water containers around the home should be emptied at least once a week,” Professor Guest said. Information on mosquito-borne illnesses is available at the Department of Health and Human Services’ website and via Frankston Council’s website and Facebook page. Anyone infected by the Ross River virus should visit their doctor.

New type of foster care will help kids on to positive new tracks ANGLICARE Victoria, in partnership with OzChild are searching for dedicated foster carers to help kids step onto positive new tracks as part of Treatment Foster Care Oregon (TFCO). TFCO is a new evidence-based, internationally successful program providing an alternative to residential care and getting kids with problem behaviours back to a stable, family life. The program runs over six to nine months and is delivered by a team of specialists who support the foster carer and the young person with practical behaviour based interventions which are designed to enable longer term stability for the young person. Anglicare Victoria CEO Paul McDonald said: “This is a revolutionary program, we expect that 75 per cent of the children and young people who complete the program will either be reunited with their birth family, if safe to do so,

or reach their full potential with a loving kin, or foster care family”. TFCO will be launched in Melbourne’s Southern region in April 2017. OzChild will support children aged 7-11 and Anglicare Victoria will support young people aged 12-17. TFCO carers will receive continuous support from a team of six professionals and financial reimbursements. Currently the program is seeking to recruit carers who reside in the Dandenong, Frankston, Pakenham, Cranbourne and Mornington Peninsula areas. To find out more about this pioneering foster care program phone 0450 605 247 or see tfco. org.au TFCO is a joint initiative between Anglicare Victoria and OzChild supported by the state government.

As the new Principal, it is my pleasure to lead a passionate and professional team who are committed to every student succeeding. We are excited about the new direction of the school and the opportunities our students at Wallaroo Primary will be presented with this year. Throughout 2017, we will deliver meaningful lessons in Literacy and Mathematics, Music, Art, P.E., Science, Sustainability and Digital Technologies to encourage students to collaborate and apply critical thinking and creativity to solve problems. Hands-on, investigative education allows students to actively participate in their learning. For this reason we implement the Walker Learning Approach from Prep-Year 6 and have done so since 2013. We place personalised learning at the forefront of our teaching. Teachers scaffold students’ interests to state and national curriculum, making learning more relevant and tailored to the individual child. Our values of caring, responsibility, respect, personal best, honesty and cooperation are incorporated into all aspects of our teaching and learning and we set high expectations while providing ongoing support to our students. Wallaroo Primary provides an engaging and caring atmosphere. We are committed to the academic excellence and welfare of our students and welcome perspective families to contact us to learn more.

I am delighted to introduce one of our newest staff members – Hailey Paynter – who commenced this year in a teaching position at Insight with our primary and secondary students who are blind and vision impaired. Hailey, while new to Insight, brings a wealth of teaching experience with her both in the mainstream educational sector and in the very specialised area in which Insight is involved. Hailey holds a post-graduate degree from the University of Newcastle as a Masters of Special Education - Specialising in Blind & Vision Impairment. Her experience teaching students who are blind or vision impaired has crossed continents – from here in Australia - Wagga Wagga and rural NSW, a Vision Camp in Canberra, South Australia School for Vision Impaired - to the United States and the prestigious Texas School for the Blind & Visually Impaired. It is Australia’s gain that she has returned here to be part of our wonderful school in Berwick. Hailey also has an impressive history of volunteer work as a Lifesaver, a Counsellor for Disadvantaged Children, a Volunteer Teacher, and Head of Fundraising Campaign for Able Australia’s Kilimanjaro Climb Campaign – ‘Hike to Help’ which raised awareness of the work of the non-profit organisation Able Australia. Hailey is an amazing ambassador for people living with disabilities and particularly the blind and vision impaired. Hailey herself has a rare eye condition which means she must deal with a significant visual impairment and an uncertain future. This did not stop her from tackling the world’s largest free standing mountain - Mount Kilimanjaro (also referred to as ‘the roof of Africa’). The amazing 20,000 foot climb in 2014 took a gruelling 8 days with a guide. For this breathtaking climb Hailey chose the second hardest route despite the risks of hypothermia and severe altitude sickness. Her determination took her right to the top. We are all very proud of Hailey’s many achievements and feel privileged to have her as part of the team at Insight. The level of staff expertise at the school makes Insight a positive choice for children who so often struggle to keep up with their sighted peers in mainstream schools, many of which do not have the specialised technology and other resources they require. Now, and into the future, the team at Insight is committed to ensuring that our intensive and targeted intervention across all levels of learning empowers our students to find their places in the world with confidence and purpose. Contact me directly at the school if you wish to make an enrolment enquiry or to learn more about the great work happening here in Berwick. Free call: 1800 ISIGHT

Outstanding VCE Results DROMANA COLLEGE is extremely proud of the outstanding VCE results achieved by the 2016 Year 12 student cohort. These results clearly consolidate the position of Dromana as the College of academic excellence within the local community, bearing testament to the engaging, comprehensive and sequential learning program delivered throughout Years 7 to 12. Our VCE mean study score of 31 eclipsed our previous peak, which was achieved in 2015. The College continues to go from strength to strength and whilst we have great pride in our exceptional results and continue to set new benchmarks, our community can rest assured that we will continue to strive for continuous improvement. Dromana College gives first priority to Literacy and Numeracy as the core and essential building blocks which underpin all learning and which enable students to excel so that they can achieve their personal best. Students thrive in our supportive culture of high expectation, where our excellent teachers are the most important

resource towards student success. Our hard working and dedicated staff clearly understand their core business: focusing on effective teaching and learning and improving student outcomes. We also encourage and promote an extensive extra and co-curricula program to ensure that students have the right balance with their academic endeavors. Our Year 12 VCE students of 2016 can look forward with great confidence to a successful future as well rounded and high achieving students, ready and equipped to begin their post-school journey. For the overwhelming majority of them, this includes admission into the university course of their first choice. Congratulations to our VCE class of 2016 on their outstanding achievements. At Dromana College we provide a steadfast guarantee to our community that we will continue to work tirelessly to continue our impressive trend of improving results for all students. Simon Jones Assistant Principal, Senior School

It is a privilege to be the Principal of Dromana College and I delight in the opportunity to share with the wider community our success. I would like to begin by congratulating the whole college community on a fantastic 2016, with our students having achieved excellence in a diverse range of learning programs and co-curricular activities. Our students are challenged, motivated and engaged by interesting, exciting and relevant curriculum that caters for their needs. As I reflect on the year, I again return to the greatest strengths of our school; the relationships between staff and students and the sense of belonging that our community fosters. The learning relationship of our students with their teachers and vice versa is elementary, built on the college values of respect, integrity, personal best and responsibility and underpinned by clear learning intentions. The College’s well established vision continues to deliver excellent outcomes for all our students. In 2016 Dromana College students out performed all other local secondary providers. For the seventh year in a row, we have improved our VCE median score, our average is now 31, and more that 90% of our Year 12 students achieved above the state mean. A recent independent review of the college programs, relationships and achievements, determined Dromana College to be a high performing school of academic excellence. The report also commended the expansion of our school’s extra curricula enhancement programs to include Athletics, Dance, Science and Technology adjacent to the school day. The outlook for 2017 is outstanding. Our focus continues to be delivering the best academic outcomes for all our students. At the same time, we have committed some $3 million to the redevelopment of our Performing Arts Theatre and kitchens and have completed a ‘state of the art’ Year 7 learning area. The college values are at the core of this commitment and underpin the strong sense of wellbeing and community that our school enjoys. For further information on any of our programs please do not hesitate to contact the college on 03 5987 2805 or visit our website. www.dsc.vic.edu.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Calls for eligible man to go to the Front Compiled by Cameron McCullough OUR Letter Box. Sir,–Dearie me! What a hornets nest one disturbs if any attempt is made to point out defects in local organizations. While sorry to have awakened so much malice in the breasts of some of the female population. I am unable to see the urgent need for an apology so kindly advised by D. Gregory, who accuses me of wicked spite in exposing a most grotesque anomaly. Reading over my previous letter I fail to find any reason for her vindictive attitude. Your readers are the best judges as to which of us deserves to be termed spiteful. Did I unwittingly touch on a sore topic? Or is Cupid in any way involved? Surely not! And yet why is she so angry? Imagine a young lady who is so proud of her position as a committee member of a Patriotic (?) Club, that she needs must add the fact to her signature, attempting to gloss over the fact that that same committee shelters an eligible person. She says “he was rejected for medical reasons.” So I have heard. Some slight deformity of the toes, was it not? He has my sincere sympathy. However, as the need of men at the front is so very urgent just now, perhaps if he should try again he may be more fortunate. D. Gregory also accuses me of “’entire lack of the sense of sportsmanship.” What is that sense? Who are the sportsmen today? They who have been and are daily risking life and limb in

honor’s cause, or they who stay at home and “enjoy the music without paying the piper ?” Has D Gregory no dear one enduring, and risking all for her loved sake? Is there not some one who will think of her should he lie battered and broken awaiting a hero’s end? If so, how can she resent so bitterly a letter written in purest sympathy with him and with other heroes. But if she has no one who is willing to fight, and, maybe, die for her protection, she is indeed to be pitied and her letter easily understandable. The person signing “Sympathetic” would be wise to explain the nom de plume. Is the sympathy for the gallant lads, suffering unheard of privations and risking untold dangers, or for the person who stays snugly at home cultivating his vegetable garden and in his leisure hours entertaining soldiers? The writer takes exception to the fact that after only a few months’ residence I “dare to criticize” etc, and advises me to mind my own business. But is not the Empire’s business everyone’s, or at least everyone who loves our country and honors the men who fight for our protection. Ye shades of Gordon ! It is enough to make our first Australian poet turn in his grave to have his lines quoted in such a letter. May I slightly paraphrase and add the concluding couplet to “Sympathetic’s” advice to Club members. She says “Ride for yourselves and ride to win, and you can’t very well go wrong.” I say “Gad ! If the “Anzacs” had stuck to that you’d be singing a

different song.” The meaning of “Fair Play’s” letter is too enigmatic for me and as the writer is in retrospective mood possibly her excursions into the misty past are too far for me, with my short residence, to follow. One statement, however, I understand “he has attempted on several occasions”. Has he really? How sad! Would “Fair Play give particulars as to those “several occasions.” The publishing of such details would help matters materially. Having taken “Fair Play’s” advice to the extent of prosecuting inquiries locally, I find that the person in question was finally accepted as a conscript, and applying, was granted two month’s exemption. The period of grace has expired and if he has not the stamina to go to the front, he should at least vacate a leading position on a body labelling itself Patriotic. If he retains the position the label is untrue and the fact an insult to every Frankston soldier, past and present.– Yours, AI.F. *** MISS Mayer, an Australian Pole, who resided for a long time in Germany, gave an interesting account of “Her Personal Recollections of the German Kaiser and the Germans,” and “What would he the condition of Australia under German rule,” in the Mechanics’ Hall. Frankston, on Thursday evening. Rev E. Tonkin occupied the chair. *** FRANKSTON Court of Petty Sessions. Ernest Daniel Ward and Percy J. Corcoran who had been arresred at

Somerville the same morning by Consts Ryan and Donemaide for disorderly conduct appeared before Capt. Sherlock J.P. Const. Ryan charged the prisoner Ward with being drunk on the premises of a licensed victualler, to wit the Somerville Wine Cafe. Ward pleaded guilty. Const. Ryan deposed that in consequence of complaints received at Frankston, he and Const. Donemaide proceeded to Somerville, and on arrival found Ward lying in a drunken state in the stable of the Wine shop. He was placed under arrest, taken outside, and confronted with Mrs Corcoran who accused him of taking beer to her house and giving it to her husband, against whom a prohibition order is in force. The police proposed to take further action against Ward for the latter offence. The magistrate severely lectured defendant for his conduct and on the drunkeness charge fined him 5s or 12 hours imprisonment. The fine was paid. Percival James Corcoran was charged with behaving in a threatening manner near a public place, to wit, the Frankston Road at Somerville on 10th February. Prisoner pleaded not guilty but afterwards amended his plea. Const. Ryan informed the Court that a prohibition order was taken out against Corcoran by his wife, owing to his drunken habits. This order is still in force. For three days prior to his arrest he had been drinking heavily. When drunk he was like a madman. The police received word that Corcoran had gone to his neighbours and said

“goodbye” as he was going to “finish the lot”. He gave people to understand that he was going to take the lives of his family and himself. When the police arrived they found that Mrs Corcoran and her family had had to leave the house the previous night and were still out of the place when they arrived at 11am. Witness entered the house by the kitchen door which was open. He saw prisoner leaning over the table on hich was lying a long carving knife. Witness seized the knife and threw it out of the way. Corcoran was in a drunken state and appeared to be bordering on delirium tremens. He had no boots or coat on and defied witness to arrest him. Witness arrested him. There were two empty beer bottles in the house. Corcoran and Ward were brought into Frankston by Const. Dodemaide and had been in the lockup all day. Const. Dodemaide corroborated the previous witness. Corcoran admitted being drunk and asked the magistrate to deal leniently with him, promising to never take another drink. Capt. Sherlock advised Corcoran to give up the drink and stated that he would be lenient as he did not desire to penalise defendant’s family, but if he did not profit by the warning and was brought before the court again he would be severely dealt with. He was fined 10s or 24 hours’ imprisonment. The fine was paid. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 17 February 1917

The race to finals is on PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully THE Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association Provincial season is set for an exciting finish with only five teams now a realistic chance to play finals. Baxter, which sits at the top of the table on 102 points, is the only team assured of a finals berth, regardless of the fact of whether it loses its final two games. Peninsula Old Boys and Langwarrin are locked together on 90 points, a game clear of Mornington (78) and an outright win clear of Mt Eliza (70). The aim of the Old Boys and Kangas now is to lock away a home final.

POB faces Baxter at Baxter and Crib Point at home in the final round one-day game to end its home and away season. There would be no great surprises if they won both of these matches. Langwarrin finishes with two home games, and both are tricky. It tackles Mornington and Sorrento. Its win against Mt Eliza on Saturday certainly placed them in the box seat and it deserves to taste finals action. Mornington has Langwarrin this weekend and its final game is against Moorooduc at home. Mt Eliza can’t afford to lose either of its final two games. It faces Sorrento at David McFarlan Reserve and then finishes with Somerville at home.

So the stage has been set for a thrilling race to the line. Langwarrin made things difficult for Mt Eliza to make it after yet another outstanding day with the ball. The Kangas pressure with the ball and in the field has been a feature of its game this season and given it set the Mounties 240 for victory, it was able to attack from the word go. At one stage the Mounties were 2/0. A short time later it was 6/53. A cameo between Justin Grant (56) and Lyle House (40) halted things for a while before the Mounties were finally bowled out in the 52nd over for 135. Skipper Travis Campbell was superb, snaring 5/24 off 12 overs, while Mal

Coutts finished with 3/18 after having 2/0 at one stage. Mornington was looking for an outright win against Long Island but it failed in its attempt to do so. The Dogs made 7/220 in 60 overs on day one of the match and had the Islanders 3/52 overnight. Long island added just 80 runs before being bowled out for 130. The Dogs then whipped up another 80 runs before sending the Islanders back in with plenty of overs to play. Mornington fell short of the outright by three wickets, Long Island holding on to be 7/166 at stumps. Peninsula Old Boys cruised to victory against Somerville.

Chasing 222 for victory, the Old Boys past it eight wickets down with nine overs to play. Dylan O’Malley opened with 52, Eivion Bowen contributed 33, Will Crowder hit 50 and Jon Forrest was unbeaten on 29 to hand the Old Boys the victory. Nick Marshall was the pick of the Somerville bowlers with 3/36. Pearcedale scored an amazing victory against Sorrento. Defending just 129, the Panthers rolled the Sharks for just 115. Chris Dew was superb, snaring 4/26 from 21 overs, while Shayne Gillings picked up 3/31 from 15. CJ King top scored for the Sharks with 36, while Corey Harris made 36.

Demons keep on fighting DISTRICT

By IT Gully RYE has once again defied the odds and given itself every opportunity of maintaining its place in MPCA District ranks after a wonderful fighting performance against Delacombe Park on Saturday. After the opening rounds of the season, Rye was the laughing stock of the competition. Opposition teams were just rolling up to matches with the expectation of recording an outright victory. However, after a horror start, the Rye has now won a couple of games and remains clear of bottom place and relegation. After the opening day of its match against Delacombe Park, it looked as though it was going to be on the receiving end of another loss. The Parkers were 1/18 overnight in reply to Rye’s first innings total of 133. However, the Parkers lost 8/49 to be bowled out for 111 after 51 overs. Ricky Ramsdale top-scored for the visitors with 32, while Rye skipper Tommy Baron led from the front with 6/34 from 25 overs. Matt Travena was strong with the ball too, taking 3/38 from 15 overs. The win means that Rye (24 points) remains a game clear of Boneo (12), who recorded its first win of the season on Saturday. Boneo and Rye face off in the final game of the season, a one-day match. Rye faces Rosebud at Rosebud in round 10, while Boneo heads to Seaford Tigers. With finals still a reality for Rosebud, there’s too much to play for them but Boneo is not without a show against the Tigers. On Saturday, the Pandas were strong defending their first innings total of 267. It was always going to be a tough ask for the Buds and they failed miserably, rolled for just 131. Billy Quigley tried to fly the flag for the Buds with 72 with little support elsewhere. Leigh Janssen though was the man to turn the game on its head, smashing through the Rosebud batting line-up and finishing with a sensational 8/37 from 28.1 overs, including 14 maidens. Main Ridge rocketed from fifth to

second place on the table after accounting for Baden Powell. Defending 328, the Ridge rolled the Braves for 243 in 68.1 overs. Ryan Barnett hit 70 at the top of the order for the Braves, who at one stage were in trouble four own for less than 20. Travis Kellerman with 46 and Bryce Kellerman with 25 added some respectability. Luke Collins took 3/53 from 19 overs for the Ridge while Shaun Foster claimed 2/22 off 5.1. Baden Powell has now dropped to seventh place. Heatherhill moved into third position on the ladder and Mt Martha dropped to fourth after the Hills recorded a strong win. Chasing 168 for victory, the Hills resumed at 1/24 and picked up the winning runs with four wickets and one over in hand. Matt Bishop top scored with 53 and Kristian Miller hit 44. A wonderful 181 by Seaford Tigers skipper David James saw his side record a strong victory against Flinders. Flinders was defending 238, however, James scored three quarters of the runs on his own with the rest of the team contributing 102 (283). The loss ended Flinders’ season. Red Hill never seems to disappoint in the home and away season. The Hillmen were 5/59, chasing Seaford’s first innings total of 105 when play resumed on day two on Saturday. Andrew Mock resumed on 29. Mock ended with 54 and was out with the score on 101, driving his side to victory. Lachy Klauer was at the other end, scoring 23 and going out once his team had recorded the victory. The Hillmen finished on 118, a 13-run win. Chris Cleef finished with 6/51 for Seaford after having 4/25 overnight.

Season wide open as finals beckon SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully THE season and run to the finals in MPCA Sub District cricket is still wide open and well and truly on with just two rounds remaining. As has been the case for the most part this season, Hastings (98 points) and Ballam Park (84 points) are locks for a top two finish. However, the real interest lies in the sub-battle of the next seven sides, all of which are just a game outside the

top three. Tyabb is on 54 points and is currently in third position. Carrum Downs is second bottom, yet, only one game behind the Yabbies on 42 points. The Yabbies and YCW make-up the top four, with Tootgarook and Carrum also sitting on 54 points. The Stonecats limped to the line against Balnarring in a thrilling contest. Chasing 120 for victory, the Stonecats were wobbly early, resuming at

2/15. However, the home side was patient and past the total five wickets down in the 82nd over. Joseph Gotts top-scored for the Stonecats with 36. Tootgarook kept its chances well and truly alive, albeit far from convincing against Tyabb. After bowling out the Yabbies for 51 on the first day and resuming at 8/81 themselves, the Frogs added a further seven runs to their overnight total – it was enough to win. The Yabbies were 5/121 in their second dig.

Carrum is still in the mix too in sixth place after beating Skye. The Lions needed 155 for victory and did it comfortably, getting the runs five wickets down. Josh Dent was superb with 66 while skipper Hayden Moulton opened with 51. Dylan Steed also played a major role in the win with his patient 21. Ballam Park went for the outright win against Carrum Downs but didn’t get there. Defending 245, the Knights rolled the Cougars for just 85 with David

Cross getting 3/30 and Stuart Plunkett snaring 2/20 off 15. Chris Jones top scored for Carrum Down with 17. In the final game, Hastings’ skipper Robbie Hearn scored 127 and Jake Hewitt 72 to guide the visitors to an easy win against Dromana. The Blues were chasing 150 for victory and resumed at 2/68. Night watchman Isuru Dias went three runs later before Hearn and Hewitt then put on 159 for the fourth wicket. The Blues finished at 8/276.

‘Patch’ may power Mornington title tilt SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie MORNINGTON is poised to beat a host of suitors to the prized signature of star striker Ryan Paczkowski. “Patch” is believed to be keen on returning to his first Australian club after sensationally quitting NPL giant Bentleigh Greens last week. His switch from playing as a contracted player and reverting to amateur status means he has to go through an enforced four-week layoff before playing an official game for Mornington, which brought him to Melbourne for the 2014 season. Dallas Brooks Park has been a happy hunting ground for Paczkowski and along with Wayne Gordon, high-profile English import Josh Hine and the returning Simon Mur, Mornington will soon boast the most lethal strike force in State 1 South-East. Add big Gino Defeo and Michael Freeman to the mix and the club has more depth up front than in recent seasons. Paczkowski’s shock exit from Bentleigh Greens alerted NPL and State League clubs to his availability but there was only ever going to be one destination for the classy forward. Brisbane Strikers, Port Melbourne, Bulleen and Dandenong City were rumoured to be in the queue for his signature. It’s understood that work pressures forced Paczkowski’s hand and he was unable to commit to the training regime required at NPL level. He recently received permanent residency and his job as a project manager with Prime Projects was a pivotal part of his successful application. Paczkowski hails from Doncaster in England where his CV boasts stints with Gainsborough Trinity, Harworth Colliery, Frickley Athletic and Brigg Town. At Brigg Town he was a teammate of recent Mornington import Nathan Smith. Paczkowski took State League ranks by storm scoring 21 goals in 2014 when Mornington threw away a second-to-none chance

of winning the championship then bagged 22 goals the following season during Mornington’s title romp before being snapped up by Bentleigh Greens. The step up to NPL never fazed the talented Paczkowski who enjoyed a stellar 2016 season highlighted by a number of man-of-the-match performances and multiple team-of-the-week selections. His injury-time winner broke the deadlock in the 2016 Dockerty Cup final as Bentleigh edged out Green Gully 1-0. Fellow striker Hine is having some hiccups in arranging a visa but is expected to arrive in early March. The news concerning English midfielder Matthew Wade is much more promising and he joins Mornington on Tuesday 21 February. Wade has been signed from Blyth Spartans in England’s Northern Premier League Premier Division and will play in the 2017 FFA Cup before returning to England for a wedding and missing Mornington’s round one league clash on Friday 24 March away to Casey Comets. The shocks kept coming on the weekend when rumours circulated that Sam Scott will not play for Langwarrin again and is keen to join arch rival Mornington. Scott did not turn up for training with Langy last week and although the club is aware of rumours linking him with Mornington it is waiting for Scott to contact it before it comments on the issue. The midfielder from Launceston FC in England is a housemate of Mornington keeper Kris McEvoy and socialises with other Mornington players. It’s believed that Scott is keen to play with his mates in what could be his last season in Australia. Meanwhile Marinos Panayi and Dylan Waugh are officially off Peninsula Strikers’ radar. Panayi is a former Bentleigh Greens youngster who shunned Strikers’ attempts to snare his signature and signed for NPL 2 outfit Eastern Lions.

Tennis teen offered ace opportunity By Ben Triandafillou MOUNT Eliza youngster, Campbell Steedman, secures a once in a lifetime opportunity to join the ballkid’s squad at Roland Garros after earning the title of the “Most Outstanding Ballboy” at this year’s Australian Open. The 15-year-old was one of the top two ballkid’s of 380 at this year’s Australian Open and has earned a trip to Paris in April with the other winner, Summer Leatitagaloa, to take part in the ball kid’s squad at Roland Garros. To achieve the honour of being the most outstanding ballboy or ballgirl you have to demonstrate the highest level of skills and behaviour in your day-to-day duties both on and off the court. Campbell has been a ballboy at the Australian Open for four years and with a lot of hard work was rewarded with opportunities to assist in several breathtaking finals and stand next to some of the all-time greats. “All the hard work and training has rewarded me with being part of the men’s singles, women’s singles and men’s doubles finals squads and a trip to Roland Garros. [I was] a little nervous at times, but you train hard to do the best job, while trying to enjoy it as much as you can.” said Campbell. For Campbell it was the support and friend-

ships that made him come back every year and continue to work hard, as well as being able to be so close to so many fantastic players. “It is nice to receive a gift at the end, but it is more about the friends you make and the opportunity to participate in the Australian Open,” said Campbell. An avid tennis player himself, Campbell plays locally at the Ranelagh Club, Mount Eliza and takes a lot of inspiration from watching some of his idols first hand at the Australian Open. Campbell was fortunate enough to work with the ballkid’s squad in the thrilling 2017 Men’s Australian Open Grand Final where Nadal and Federer battled it out in an intense five-set match. “It was an amazing and inspiring experience,” said Campbell. The Padua College student will be leaving for Paris on the 25th of May for 17 days with his family and some staff from Tennis Australia to assist in the French Open. “I feel very privileged and excited about being given the opportunity to ballkid at the French Open and represent Tennis Australia,” said Campbell. Honoured to be given this opportunity, Campbell can’t wait to leave for Paris and assist in another awe-inspiring, major Grand Slam.

Golf club looks to the future By Ben Triandafillou THE Mount Martha Golf Club is hoping to improve and expand their “friendly club” to cater for their growing membership list and upgrade their clubhouse and facilities. A different entity to the Mount Martha Golf Course, the club is embarking on a new membership drive and future building fundraiser to raise money and enable the club to be eligible for government grants allowing for extensions and improvements to be made to their facilities. With all work done on a volunteer basis, the club is hoping to make a minimum of $5,000 with about 560 of the 700 tickets already sold. The raffle which is valued at $9,400, includes a trip to Europe for two people for eight days on a cruise on the beautiful blue Danube, with tickets selling for $20 each. Founded in 1980 with 190 members, the club has been very successful in competitions and pennants with the Men’s Handicap Pennant side winning the VGL Division Two last year and gaining promotion into Division One for 2017. The club which has been running for over 35 years has come a long way from initially operating out of a tin shed with fairways the club described as a “cows paddock” to now operating out of a rustic modern clubhouse and pro shop with beautifully manicured Santa- Anna couch fairways and pristine

greens. “Even though our clubhouse is serviceable we are at a point where we need to look forward to the future and increase our membership and in doing so increase the size of our clubhouse,” said President Graeme Burton. “We have been in consultation with the Mornington Shire Council and they have provided their architects to look at various options to accommodate our members in the future.”

With stunning views over Port Phillip Bay & surrounds our beautiful new Function & Event Centre offers the perfect venue for your upcoming celebration. We offer cocktail menus, 2&3 course menus and more - all coupled with superb wines and outstanding service. Book in today for your wedding, birthday, conference or presentation night!

The club has developed significantly and so has their membership list which is why it’s time for the club to contemplate upgrading their facilities further to accommodate for their 285 current members. “The Mornington Shire has been fantastic in the improvements they have made to the Golf Course and now it’s time to look at the Clubhouse and Pro Shop facilities to enable us to compete with the many other Golf Clubs on the Peninsula.”

Meet and greet with St Kilda players By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON Peninsula families will have the opportunity to meet players from the St. Kilda Football Club at a Family Footy Night held at the Shed 11 Youth Centre, Hastings. For their first event of the year, the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Youth Services team will be hosting the event to provide kids on the Peninsula a chance to meet some of their favourite AFL players. Set for Friday 17th February between 4pm and 6pm, the event is open to families of young people aged between 10 and 17 where they can participate in a variety of exciting activities and enjoy a BBQ dinner with the players. The BBQ dinner is free of charge and the night is set to be a relaxed ‘meet and greet’ with family, friends and the players. Allowing youngsters to meet their idols, the Family Footy Night is at a perfect time as the juniors are reading up for the start of their season. The Shed 11 Youth Centre is a ‘drop in’ location where kids can attend during the week, Monday to Friday from 3pm to 5pm during the school term. The Youth Centre is located at 11 Marine Parade, Hastings and offers a variety of activities such as pool, table tennis and air hockey. The Family Footy Night should be a great night for the kids with a mixture of activities on offer and the exciting visit by the AFL players.
