Creek land up for grabs Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A STRETCH of land alongside Mordialloc Creek could be lost to the Pompei family after Kingston City Council decided to seek expressions of interest from other parties over use of the prime Crown land site.

Councillors voted at last week’s council meeting to put three licences held by the family’s estate onto the open market. The separate licences on the jetty area, slipway and Pompei’s Landing are now up for grabs despite a proposal by current occupier Leon Pompei to start a kayak hire business at the site.

Leon is the son of the late Jack Pompei, known as “Mr Mordialloc” for his role as the custodian of the creek, who operated a boat building business there. He sells marine paint from a shed beside the creek and maintains wooden boats, paying a peppercorn rate of $104 annually for each licence.

Cr Ron Brownlees said council had previously agreed to allow Leon Pompei to operate his business at Mordialloc Creek after his father and mother, Gwen Pompei, passed away but that council officers had now issued advise that the licences had lapsed. He said council was obliged to determine whether there was any other in-

World arrives at Mordialloc EDITHVALE playwright Kieran Carroll is bringing a global perspective to his latest play to be performed at the Shirley Burke Theatre next week. Carroll has collaborated with six women of different nationalities for The World Comes To Mordialloc, a one-off play highlighting the challenges faced by immigrants to Australia whose first language is not English. “I wondered what it would be like living in the area and only being able to speak a little bit of English – how would you communicate?” Carroll said. He approached Mordialloc Neighbourhood House who ran a course teaching English to recent arrivals in the country. Six course attendees - a Sudanese women, a Russian, Belgian, Japanese and two Argentinians - agreed to work with Carroll to share their experiences of life living in Mordialloc. “The play will give people an appreciation of the isolation and dislocation these women can feel and they may be surprised at the stories that are found in the area,” Carroll said. The Sudanese women, for example, spent four years in a refugee camp in Egypt before seeking asylum in Australia. She now has five Australian children. Carroll gathered the participants’ stories for The World Comes To Mordialloc and said the project had been worthwhile, especially since it brought disparate members of the community together. “It’s been really interesting seeing the women get to know each other better and feel less alone.” nThe World Comes To Mordialloc Shirley Burke Theatre, 64 Parkers Rd, Parkdale Tuesday 13 May at 8pm, free event Contact Kieran Carroll on 0429 235 751 or via Stage set: Edithvale playwright is bringing the world to Mordialloc at Shirley Burke Theatre in Parkdale.

Not so special delivery north-western suburbs in the early hours of Sunday morning. “The perpetrators apparently drove it down the ramp into the creek to try to dispose of it,” Sergeant Ford said. “It’s a pretty unusual way to try to get rid of evidence. Most thieves try to burn out vehicles in a remote location when trying to get rid of the evidence rather than taking a high-risk approach in a highly visible location like this. “We were just happy there was no one inside the vehicle.” Sergeant Ford said the vehicle would have been difficult to spot under water but that someone walking over the bridge on the Nepean Highway above the creek had noticed the top of the opened boot. Anyone who saw the distinctive car in the area on Sunday morning or who might have noticed people acting suspiciously around the creek is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Chris Brennan

A LATE-model Holden HSV Clubsport sedan valued at more than $60,000 was dragged from Mordialloc Creek on Sunday after being dumped by joy-riding car thieves. Police were alerted to the presence of the high-performance V8 vehicle on the bottom of the creek beneath Pompei Bridge by a sharp-eyed member of the public who noticed the outline of the car’s open boot beneath the murky waters about 11am. Fearing there may be a body trapped inside the vehicle after arriving at the creek around 11.30am, Mordialloc police called in the police search and rescue squad. However, rescue squad divers found the vehicle empty and set about helping retrieve the wreckage. A tow truck was able to winch the car up onto dry land via the launching ramp after police divers attached a tow line. Sergeant Stephen Ford of Mordialloc police said the car had been reported stolen from Melbourne’s

Time up for planning zone overhaul residential development n General Residential Zone allowing “moderate change” to encourage some development in areas with good access to transport and services n Residential Growth Zone allowing “substantial change” where medium density housing and diverse housing types are possible, including townhouses and apartments of up to four storeys Councillors voted to push ahead with a council officers’ presentation to flag the minor changes to the state government regarding the planned new zones. Cr Rosemary West believed the new planning zones would be an improvement on existing regulations since there would now be mandatory height limits for residential property development.

about 30 from property development interests. Council officers will make a presentation to the state government’s Residential Zones Standing Advisory Committee next week to detail Kingston City Council’s official response to the zones. The minor changes include a proposal allow front fences to be built without the need for a planning permit. “Our submission to the Residential Zones Standing Advisory Committee will outline how council plans to address the state government’s objectives for diversity and growth whilst maintaining liveability for residents,” mayor Paul Peulich said. “We want to take the sting out of planning by providing the community

with a clear confidence on how particular areas will change and the (planning) minister is providing us with the tools to do that.” Council said Kingston’s population is forecast to grow from 151,686 last year to 173,350 in 2031 according to state government projections. “One of the aims of the new residential zones is to look at where growth can be best accommodated taking into account access to services, transport, employment opportunities and vital economic development,” Cr Peulich said. The state government originally wanted to implement the three new planning zones throughout Victoria by 1 July this year but it seems unlikely that its self-imposed deadline will be met.

TWELVE months of consultation on new residential planning zones has led to Kingston City Council deciding to seek just “minor changes” to the zones proposed by the state government for the municipality. The state government advised Victorian councils in June last year that three new zones would come into effect from 1 July this year after a one-year process of community consultation. Existing residential planning zones will be replaced with three new residential zones: n Neighbourhood Residential Zone maintaining minimal change of character of mostly single and double storey

The new NRZ will enforce a 8-metre height limit, against a previous discretionary 9-metre restriction. However, Cr West noted planning minister Matthew Guy had seemed to back-track from a commitment to heed residents’ feedback on the planning zones. “The minister is now saying he wants a direct translation whereas before he said he would approve any plan that council officers could provide strategic justification for,” Cr West said. “I guess he’s been a bit shocked about how many of the areas want the new (Neighbourhood) Residential Zone.” Council received 71 submissions on the proposed planning zones after a public consultation process, including

Artist drawn to Phantom legend Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au HE is the Ghost Who Walks. The Man Who Cannot Die. The first hero to wear a skintight costume that would become the look adopted by most other superheroes. He is The Phantom and Aspendale artist Lindsay Walker has fulfilled a near life-long dream to illustrate Mr Walker’s comic book adventures. The 31-year-old professional illustrator was rapt to be commissioned by US publisher Moonstone Books to illustrate covers for some The Phantom comics in 2009. “For as long as I can remember I wanted to be an artist,” Walker said. “At one point I thought I’d try to become a film director but I don’t have the patience for that.” Instead she channelled her creative talents into drawing and found herself drawn into the world of superhero, sci-fi and fantasy art. Walker became a fan of The Phantom, whose first comic strip adventures were published in the 1930s, when she collected the comics as a kid. Things have changed since Walker began drawing comics and she now uses a Macbook Pro and Manga Studio software with a computer drawing pad – rather than pen and paper – to sketch out and refine her artwork. Walker’s life has also recently changed. She identifies as transgender and made the decision to make the switch to become a woman a couple of years ago.

“I always knew inside that I was a woman and the toughest part was telling my partner Kim that it’s what I wanted, but after the initial shock, she has been great about it all,” Walker said. The couple have been together more than 12 years and have three

daughters: Ariel (11), Heloise (6) and Evelyn (3). Heloise is named after The Phantom’s daughter and Evelyn’s middle name Falk in honour of the purple crusader’s creator, Lee Falk. It is also no coincidence that Walker shares the

same surname as The Phantom. She changed her name legally from Mick Collins but initially fought against using the same moniker as Mr Walker AKA The Phantom. “It seemed too obvious but the more I thought about it the more sense it

made,” she said. “I also considered naming myself Julie after The Phantom’s twin sister, but Kim didn’t like it so we finally agreed on Lindsay.” The Phantom is not the only highprofile character Walker has drawn for comics book publication. She was the colourist for a Sherlock Holmes vs Kolchak: The Night Stalker comic published by Moonstone in 2009. She has also drawn Zombies vs Cheerleaders comics. In 2012, Walker pencilled a short story she wrote for the Womanthology: Space comic book series. Writing is a craft she is keen to pursue. Unfortunately a mystery illness has stalled her illustrator career for the time being. “About a year ago, I began suffering pain in my drawing hand and the pain quickly spread throughout my body making it difficult to even walk. I’ve had loads of blood tests but doctors don’t know what it is yet.” Walker is not letting her health blow get in the way of her ambitions though. She is “slowly” working on an original graphic novel called Lamprey, Lost! about an alien who crash lands on prehistoric Earth. “Writing is hard!” she said. “But I’m hoping to keep getting better at it with practice.” When she recovers she would love to have the opportunity to draw sequential comics art for The Phantom. “Drawing covers has been great, but mapping out a Phantom story would be amazing,” she said.

Pompei land grab on cards

Female footy kicking goals

Continued from page 1 The move to seek expressions of interest was condemned by Cr Rosemary West. She noted other leases at the creek had not been treated in the same way. “We should treat the Pompeis, particularly Leon Pompei, fairly,” Cr West said. “The Pompei family tell me that council did say to Jack Pompei that as long as there was a Pompei able to carry on the business, they would retain the leases and I think this is a sad day.” Kingston Mayor Paul Peulich said the issue had been “challenging” for council. “The Pompei name has a long association with the Mordialloc Creek and we pay tribute to the contribution made to the local community by Jack Pompei,” Cr Peulich said. “We invited Jack’s son, Leon Pompei, to present his vision for the creek to Councillors a fortnight ago. We are now preparing to seek expressions of interest from all parties who share council’s vision for the Mordialloc precinct and want to turn that vision into a reality.” The mayor said council would respect the maritime history of the area. Council’s Mordialloc Creek Master Plan, released in 2012, includes a proposal to build a maritime museum and restaurant at the site. Leon Pompei told The News he was considering legal action against council and is unsure whether he will participate in the EOI process since “agreement after agreement has been broken”. “The idea of granting the leases to

GIRL footballers will hit the grounds for a 10-round season on Sunday 18 May. The two girls’ division include teams from Rosebud, Seaford, Mt Eliza, Langwarrin, Edithvale-Aspendale, Frankston Rovers and a combined team from Frankston District Junior Football League clubs that were unable to individually field teams. The competition being held by the Frankston District Junior Football League (FDJFL) in conjunction with AFL South East includes junior girls aged 9-13 and youth girls 14-18. FDJFL president Stuart Mason described the response to female football in the region as “mind-blowing”. “To think that at the start of this year we had one club coming to us saying they wanted to do this and now we have 10 teams, two competitions and hundreds of girls ready to take the field is just mind-blowing,” he said. AFL South East Region general manager Jeremy Bourke said the result was “very impressive”. “When discussions were first held, we were hopeful of attracting enough players to field three or four teams. It just shows there is an appetite for female football and with further promotion and development, this has the potential, in a very short period of time, to be one of the leading female programs in the country.” Georgia Walker and Lizzie Muir from the MPJFL Youth Girls Team (which competes in the South East Juniors) and Jordy Allen from Rye under-14s have been selected for the Victorian Metro Girls under-18 side compete in the national carnival in Canberra 4-9 May.

the family was to allow us to be left alone here in recognition of all the hard work and contribution we’ve made to the area,” he said. Councillors acknowledged the situation was “emotive”, according to Cr Geoff Gledhill, but they should not be tempted to “take the easy way out” and due process had to be followed. “This is not about Leon Pompei as such,” Cr Gledhill said. “This is about council doing what council has to do with public assets.”

“An EOI is not something that necessarily suggests that the current user is not going to be the user in the future.” Crs Brownlees, Gledhill, Peulich, Tamsin Bearsley and John Ronke voted to seek expressions of interest for the licences. Crs West, Tamara Barth and Steve Staikos opposed the move. Cr David Eden excused himself from the vote, citing a conflict of interest. The News understands Cr Eden’s father, Nick Eden, uses a berth for jet-ski

storage at Pompei’s Landing. Council confirmed the EOI process documentation would be prepared and released “in the coming months”. “This decision marks an exciting time for the future of Mordialloc Creek,” Cr Peulich said. Council property manager Julian Harvey advised two parties - a commercial entity and a community group - had already indicated they were interested in submitting proposals for use of the land at the creek.

‘Ballochmyle’ “FAIR is the morn in flowery May, and sweet is night in Autumn mild” is one line from the 1786 poem “The Lass O’Ballochmyle” written by famous Scottish bard Robbie Burns. Although the work is about a beautiful Scottish maiden, it seems fitting that May and Autumn are the chosen month and season to bring this truly spectacular property - a beauty in its own right - to the market. Dating back to the 1870s, Ballochmyle encompasses about 4 hectares and as a property is defined by the absolute privacy and beautiful wide open spaces. The main house is set towards the back of the block, and is accessed via a meandering tree-lined driveway, that snakes its way past a stunning ornamental lake. The driveway splits at one point and works its way up to a machinery shed, five-car garage and storage outbuildings in the far corner, but continuing on in the direction of the house, you pass a delightful gazebo and the sheer beauty of the home unfolds before you. A grand entry is resplendent underneath soaring 4.2-metre (14feet) ceilings with chandeliers and ceiling roses that are precise in every detail. Baltic pine polished floors lead past a dazzling formal lounge and dining room, with bedrooms two and three on the opposite side of the hall - the larger main bedroom has a sublime ensuite with feature leadlight windows. A spacious open plan kitchen and family area has a wonderful warmth to it with a combination of marble bench tops and rosewood timbers in the kitchen combining with a striking fireplace built from handmade bricks. From a sunroom you have access out to the entertainment area. Each room is so rich in individual character and detail, the old real estate cliché of ‘you must inspect to fully appreciate’ rings true. The external features of the property are as impressive as those found inside. From the entertainment deck you overlook a splendid in-ground pool with spa, there is also a pool house, and under the same roof line is a triple garage. A detached two-bedroom, two bathroom cottage is an absolute delight, and is positioned close to the full-size tennis court that is complete with flood lights.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

The unstoppable rise of sinister footwear By Stuart McCullough IT began, as these things do, slowly. At first you’d catch just an occasional, fleeting glimpse and smirk quietly to yourself at someone else’s misfortune. Before you knew it, they were everywhere you turned – men wearing pointy shoes could not be avoided. The pointy shoe is by no means a recent invention, although it used to be confined to a certain time and place. Specifically, it was a ‘going out’ shoe; something you might wear to a nightclub or to your cousin’s engagement party. It was not, under any circumstance, something that you would ever consider wearing to work. But if going out shoes weren’t bad enough, things were about to take a turn for the worse. Before you could say “wanker”, men were suddenly wearing not only going out shoes but their good shirts also. For those unfamiliar with the concept of ‘the good shirt’, it’s the one you save for special occasions when you really want to impress people. It is fundamentally and immediately distinguishable from ‘the work shirt’. Even worse, these people were parading around, their heads crowned with some kind of hair porcupine. We’ve now reached a point where it’s impossible to tell whether a colleague is walking to the photocopier or to the bar to get another round of drinks.This madness must stop. Work is work and we should dress appropriately. There is no excuse for looking as though we’ve arrived at the office via The 21st Century Dance Club. I may

sound harsh but it’s not as if I’m completely without sympathy. I too know the power of a quality pair of shoes. I was in Year 10 at the time, and still at an age where my parents bought my clothing for me. My best sneak-

ers had Velcro. I’m not sure what you think about Velcro, but it’s a sad state of affairs when someone looks at shoelaces and thinks they’re too complicated. I also owned shoes with zippers. I’d been playing in a band for

of this as a separation of powers. Throughout my schooling years, I stuck with a pair of tried and true Bata scouts. They weren’t glamorous and they didn’t have single buckle, much less two, but they got the job done. I’m not sure what it is that drives people to show their colleagues their outside life. There’s a quiet desperation in trying to reveal who you really are by your choice of footwear. It’s as though there’s a hunger to prove that you’re more than just the job you happen to hold. Does it have to be through clothing? Are we so disabled when it comes to communicating our individual essence to our fellow human beings? Perhaps we should be encouraged to communicate a little more thoroughly before we resort to dressing up as though we’re ready to queue up for the Over 28s night at Transformers. It’s ironic, I think, that nightclubs require patrons to dress to impress. Perhaps if men attend for work in pointy shoes, management can reserve the right to refuse entry. Maybe I’m being a little too harsh. After all, I ceased wearing my boots immediately upon going to university and discovering that they were about as fashionable as a pair of bell-bottom flares. I stopped wearing my bellbottom flares too. Come to think of it, my feet probably haven’t changed that much in the years since. Maybe I should dig them out, give them one more spin around the block and wear them to work. www.stuartmccullough.com

a number of years and was becoming quite self-conscious. Whereas previously I’d stumbled onto stage in cords and a windcheater, the crowds were now expecting more and I was eager to please. Chris Blacker was the first to buy them; black, shiny boots with a golden belt buckle. It was the most amazing pair of shoes that I had ever encountered. At the time, they looked sophisticated, sleek and artistic. With the benefit of hindsight, they looked like the kind of shoes you’d expect to be worn by an unemployed goblin. Nevertheless, I wanted my own pair of boots. They retailed at somewhere around the fifty dollar mark, which seemed prohibitively expensive. I’m sure I dropped a series of hints and, possibly, catalogues around the house. In spite of my concentrated efforts, I was still surprised when I was presented with a box. I’d learned from bitter experience that receiving a box and assuming there was actually something in it was a dangerous game destined to end in disappointment, so I quickly threw it to one side. After some persistent encouragement and a written undertaking, I opened the shoebox to find a pair of size ten and half black boots with a double gold buckle on each shoe. It was the double buckle that really appealed to me; as if a single buckle could not possibly do. I was extremely proud of my shoes. Of course I wore them when playing with the band, not only at performances but rehearsals also. I wore them whenever I could, save that I refused to wear them to high school. I like to think

healthy start for baby

PREGNANCY is one of the most important and joyous events of your life. Dr Poonam Arora from St John of God Hospital in Berwick, says women contemplating pregnancy often present for their initial appointment overwhelmed and confused by information relating to early pregnancy. Diet is a major concern for most women, Dr Arora advises that whilst pregnancy increases your need for many extra nutrients such as protein, calcium, iron and certain vitamins only a small increase in calories is needed, it is much more important to focus on good quality food rather than quantity. Planning regular meals and ensuring you are eating a variety of foods from each major food group is extremely important. Folate 600mg daily is important prior to conceiving and during the first 3 months of pregnancy to reduce the risk of spina bifida in babies. At your initial consultation with your obstetrician your weight and height will be measured and your BMI will be calculated. The amount of weight gain that is to be expected is based on your pre pregnancy weight. There are some foods that should be

avoided in early pregnancy. Listeriosis which is a food borne illness can be dangerous to a developing fetus. This may be found in precooked meats e.g. pate, sliced deli meats, cooked diced chicken; Soft cheese,e.g. brie, camembert, ricotta and feta; uncooked smoked or ready to eat seafood; soft serve ice-cream or yoghurt; pre prepared coleslaw and salads; and raw unpasteurised milk or food make from raw milk or raw eggs. Dr Arora strongly advises that you use this opportunity for both you and your partner to quit smoking. Smoking,

including passive smoking, increases many of the risks associated with pregnancy including miscarriage, complication during birth, smaller babies and many others. Quitting will not only make you feel better, but will give your baby a better start to life. After the birth it is important to continue not to smoke as there is an increased risk of SIDS. There is no safe level of alcohol consumption in Pregnancy. Dr Arora also advocates regular gentle exercise such as walking and swimming in early pregnancy. Avoid high contact sports or high impact sports and think about enrolling in specific pregnancy fitness classes. Exercise 3-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes. At your initial consultation your obstetrician will answer any further questions that you have which will help you develop the strong relationship that is required for a happy and healthy pregnancy experience. Dr Poonam Arora practices at Berwick St John of God Hospital and Casey Public Hospital. She can be contacted on 9769 3223 and further information can be obtained from her website www. drpoonamarora.com.au

Demons win in after-siren thriller NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RYE kicked a goal after the siren to steal victory from the jaws of defeat against Red Hill at RJ Rowley Reserve on Saturday in Nepean League football. Trailing all afternoon, Rye recruit Jay Bruno kicked truly from 30 metres out from goal to give the Demons a 9.14 (68) to 10.6 (66) victory. Despite centre half forward Aaron Findlay kicking the first goal of the game, at no other stage during the match were the Demons in front. When Red Hill midfielder Benny Macguiness kicked a goal at the 15 minute mark of the last quarter, it appeared the Hillmen were going to continue their unbeaten run. However, the undermanned Demons continued to pressure and harass, cause turnovers and hurt the Hillmen running the other way. Rye went into the game without their coach Ben Holmes, as well as tagger Sam Smith and skipper Rhett Sutton. They were significant outs. Red Hill on the other hand were fully loaded. They were just cocky. The Hill were smashed in contested footy and refused to work hard enough to defend. They were also unable to think their way through Rye’s full press. Red Hill looked timid at times in comparison to Rye, looking for the easy outside ball. They also played cute footy when it was time to attack and put their heads over the footballl. The Hillmen need to get back to basics, work hard and do the small things that can potentially make them a good side. Rye were superb. Michael Pudney came into the side, rucked for the large majority of it and was significant in the win. Adam Kirkwood was the best player on the ground, setting things up from the back half, Matty Sibberas dominated on the wing, Findlay presented all afternoon with his four goals and Jai

Pies win in thriller: Crib Point came from behind to take the points form Hastings. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Lloyd provided enormous run from half back and through the middle. Crib Point sits alone at the top of the Nepean League ladder after coming from behind to beat Hastings in a thriller. In front of a massive crowd at Crib Point Recreation Reserve, the Magpies came from nine points down at three quarter time to beat their biggest rivals 15.15 (105) to 14.16 (100). The Pies are the only undefeated team in the competition. Hastings led by as much as five goals at some stages throughout the match, however, injuries to key players cost them in the end. Coach Brendan Dunne limped from the field early in the match with what appeared to be a knee injury, before returning and tearing a hamstring. Onballer Mick Haddad also appeared to

hurt his knee and didn’t play out the match. Like last week against Dromana, the Pies came hard in the final quarter and hit the front late to steal victory. Crib Point coach Duane Annable said his side “got out of jail” on Saturday. “We didn’t play well at all and were lucky to win, really,” Annable said. “We were very flat at training on Thursday night and it showed during the game at stages on Saturday. “Injuries to a couple of key Hastings players certainly hurt them and we were able to take advantage of that in the end and run over the top of them. “We’ve been up for a number of weeks now and we’ll need to freshen up and find that form again,” Annable said. Zac Dekleuver and Dean Warry were dominant for the Magpies while Glenn Boyd and Jon Flack finished with three

goals each. Dale Alanis booted four for the Blues, Justin Berry kicked three and Josh Mulheron played his best game for the club in a couple of seasons. Dromana kicked two goals in 90 seconds to come from behind and beat Rosebud at Olympic Oval, 11.8 (74) to 8.17 (65). Rosebud has now lost three games by under two goals; Rye by four points, Sorrento by seven points and now Dromana by nine points. Paul Minchington put the Tigers in front with less than two minutes left in the match before Steven Gaertner took a contested mark and converted from 45 metres to give them an unbeatable lead with less than a minute left in the contest. Prior to this, Rosebud had chances to ice the match, just like it did against

Sorrento the previous week. Rosebud missed four set shots from less than 45 metres in the opening 15 minutes of the last quarter. They also got out to a 14 point lead at the 17 minute mark. However, kicking with the breeze, the Tigers chipped away and got the job done. Ash Waterstone was outstanding for the Tigers, as was Minchington, while Christian Ongarello and Dan Guerts were exceptional, especially when the game needed to be won. In a one on three situation at half back in the last quarter, Guerts won a contest which probably won the match for his side. Pearcedale’s woes continued on Saturday, smashed to the tune of 125 points by Sorrento. Leigh Poholke booted nine goals and Kayle Stringer-Morris four while James Hallahan dominated. Basil Sibosado was superb for the Panthers with five goals while Pat Cadd worked tirelessly. Devon Meadows maintained their position in the top five with a 29-point win against Frankston Bombers. The Panthers kicked away with a five goal second quarter and were never troubled after that, winning 15.12 (102) to 11.7 (73). Steve McInnes booted six goals from the midfield for the Panthers while Heath Black finished with four. Chris Doria was outstanding over four quarters, as was Clint Walker. Somerville was made to earn the four points against Tyabb, winning a tight one 14.13 (97) to 10.12 (72). The Eagles led by 18 points at three quarter time, however, couldn’t shake the Yabbies after that, Tyabb booting eight goals to nine after the first change. Eagles’ coach David Hirst booted four for the winners while Todd Farrelly finished with three. Brothers Dylan and Jake Ryan were outstanding all afternoon for the Eagles.

Sharks bite back against YCW PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt BONBEACH got its season well and truly back on track on Saturday, coming from behind to beat Frankston YCW in Peninsula League football. After trailing at every change throughout the match, Bonbeach booted 4.3 to one behind in the final quarter to beat the Stonecats 9.12 (66) to 6.11 (47). It was a vital win for the Sharks. Had they lost the match, they would have slumped to one win from four matches. Two wins and two losses now places them equal fifth on the ladder. Coach Steve Capp agreed that it was a very important win. “It was critical really,” Capp said. “Sitting at 1-3 would have made things pretty tough for us in a very close competition. “It is always pleasing to beat Frankston YCW because they are such a great side. “It took us a while to get going but hopefully now with some players coming back into the team, we can build over the next month.” Bonbeach welcomed six players into the side on Saturday, including their best player Shane McDonald, Anthony Raso,

PAGE 22

Travis Johnstone and Rob Horler. “Not many people know about Rob because he broke his leg in 2012 but he can really play,” Capp said. “We’ve been a bit light on in terms of our list in the first few weeks and it was nice to get a few of them back. “It’s hard to be consistent when you are missing some of your best players and you tend to turn the footy over a bit more. “It was a tough old game in ordinary conditions but to chip away and come from behind to win against a very good side was pleasing,” Capp said. Shaun Foster booted two goals for the Sharks while Tyabb recruit Nick Waterstone was superb once again, along with Paul Rebeschini and Mark Tyrell. Ashley Eames was YCW’s best, along with Anthony Totaro, who seems to have made the step from a very good reserves player to senior player. Karingal has booted two goals in two games of footy in the past fortnight. They have netted just 20 points in that time while the opposition (YCW and Edithvale) have booted 51.40 (336). Everyone is aware of the tough task that the Bulls face each week. They lost 16 of their best 22 players in the off sea-

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 7 May 2014

son, as well as another half a dozen players who were on the fringe or reasonable reserves players. Of the five scoring shots the Bulls had on Saturday against Edithvale, four of them came in the first 20 minutes of the match. After that, the Eagles kicked 19 goals to one to win 23.20 (158) to 1.4 (10). There is no question that Stephen Coats has the toughest job in Peninsula League footy. He has inherited a list that just isn’t capable of being competitive. However, regardless of the challenges, Coats is prepared to tackle them head-on. “It is a very tough task at the office at the moment,” Coats said. “Of the 20 players capable of playing at senior level, we are missing about six of them at the moment. That makes it pretty tough. “The players coming into the side are having a crack but we just can’t get any consistency from them. Against the good sides, we just can’t sustain things long enough. “As a footy club, we all just need to keep working hard, from the president down.

“We need to stick fast and rebuild. We’ll be a better club when we come out the other side,” Coats said. Jarrod Garth booted six goals on Saturday for the Eagles while Mark Mullins and Todd Woodbridge were outstanding. Langwarrin had 33 scoring shots to Chelsea’s 12 on Saturday but could only manage a 76-point win. The Kangas booted 1.8 in the first quarter and wasted opportunities, however, still managed a 16.17 (113) to 5.7 (37) victory. Aaron Shaw and Jimmy Johnson kicked four goals each for the winners while Beau Muston finished with three. Eighteen-year-old Ash Collins with two goals played his best senior game while Rikki Johnson provided plenty of drive and leadership from the back half. Curtis Bywater, playing against his old club, played his best game for Chelsea in two seasons. Mt Eliza did a major number on Pines, thrashing the red, white and green 20.13 (133) to 9.12 (66). In only his fourth senior game, Jordan Moncrief booted seven goals for the Redlegs, while Darren Booth enjoyed his change of role from the backline, booting three along with Matty Dunne.

Rohan Heasley, one of the best players in the competition, was best on field for the second week in a row. Adam Maling and Gideon Symon were the best of the Piners, while Jake Prosser was back to his best in his second week back. Mornington came from four points down at three quarter time to snatch an eight point victory against Seaford. The Tigers have been stiff this season and could have set up a win had they converted better in the opening quarter (3.8 to 1.1). However, when the game was there to be won, the Doggies’ recruits really stood up, showed leadership and class and got their team over the line. Dale Nolan finished with four goals playing as a key forward and dominated, Michael Gay took control in the ruck and Danny Nolan combined beautifully in the middle with Gay and had a significant impact. Dylan Crump and Luke Smith were the best of the Tigers, along with Trae Tohiariki.

Budget boon for grassroots footy By Chris Brennan KINGSTON’S footy fraternity was last week celebrating news the state government would provide $8 million towards the $16 million redevelopment of Moorabbin Community Reserve, with local league officials labelling the announcement “an enormous win” for grassroots football in the region. The refurbished former St Kilda Football Club home ground will now become the home of the South Metro Junior Football League, the Southern Football League, TAC Cup team the Sandringham Dragons and the Saints’ future VFL team. Planned upgrades include redevelopment of the G G Huggins stand, a new purpose-built pavilion, lighting, change rooms, umpire facilities, gym, public toilets, improved parking and community recreation space, as well as dedicated administrative offices for the South Metro Junior Football League, Southern Football League, Sandringham Dragons and AFL Vic region staff. Details of the funding deal were announced ahead of Tuesday’s state budget by Treasurer Michael O’Brien and Sport and Recreation Minister Damian Drum during a visit to the ground last Saturday. “This announcement will give 27 junior and 30 senior clubs the facilities to boost sports participation and

Sporting chance

MORDIALLOC Sporting Club was among the big winners in the latest round of VicHealth’s Active Club Grants after being awarded $3000. Members of the club’s junior netball and footy teams joined Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford last week to celebrate the windfall. A record 14 sports and active recreation clubs across the Mordialloc district will share in $34,229 funding as part of the $1.8 million Active Club Grants program. Among the recipients of the grants were Chelsea Baseball Club, Edithvale Scouts, Mordialloc Braeside Junior Football Club and Mordialloc Bowls Club. For more information about VicHealth’s Active Clubs Grants, visit www.vichealth.vic.gov.au/activeclub

performance to higher levels than Melbourne’s southeast has reached before,” Mr O’Brien said. “The redevelopment of Moorabbin Community Reserve will see the facility transformed from an oval with limited use to a community hub of the south for active and passive recreation, and a training ground for the next generation of footballers.” Mr Drum, a former AFL footballer with Geelong and the Sydney Swans and the coach of the Freemantle Dockers from 1999 to 2001, said the refurbished ground would become the playing and administrative home for “the entire football pathway” in Melbourne’s southeast. “It will also become the centre of development in the region, from Auskick,

school football and AFL 9s through to coaching and volunteer education, while unisex change rooms will cater for growing female participation which has risen by 42 per cent in just four years,” he said. The redevelopment is being jointly funded by Kingston council, the AFL, St Kilda Football Club and local leagues. South Metro Junior Football League general manager Jake McCauley said confirmation of the funding deal in the 2014-15 state budget was the culmination of years of hard work and planning put in by a wide range of state holders on behalf of the region’s 15,000 players. “This is huge news, it’s absolutely enourmous for football in this region, so we’re delighted,” Mr McCauley said. He said the SMJFL, which is the coun-

try’s largest junior football league and includes teams from Mordialloc-Braeside, Dingley and Cheltenham, had worked collaboratively with the AFL, Southern Football League, St Kilda Football Club and the Kingston council on the plan to revitalise the reserve. SFL League chief executive David Cannizzo said the redevelopment would see the ground reactivated from a facility that has had minimal use to an administration and community hub for all community football groups. “The redevelopment of Moorabbin Reserve will secure the long term base for the administration of the Southern Football League, as well as provide an academy for umpires in Melbourne’s south and become a premier venue for the Southern Football

League finals,” he said. SFL teams in Kingston include Chelsea Heights, Dingley, Mordialloc and Carrum-Patterson Lakes. AFL Victoria general manager Grant Williams also welcomed news of the funding deal, which he said was “a great endorsement of that collaborative planning approach”. “This project will significantly increase the capacity of the South Metro Junior Football League, the Southern Football League, the Sandringham Dragons boys and youth girls talent programs, and AFL Victoria’s Region Development Manager Gary Brown to effectively administer and support football in the region,” Mr Williams said. “It will also be the cornerstone of the region’s talent and participation pathways by catering for football development programs including NAB AFL Auskick, school football, women’s football and AFL 9s through to coaching and volunteer education.” Williams said the redevelopment would also provide a base for the planned stand-alone St Kilda VFL team from 2016. “With the St Kilda Football Club also maintaining a presence at the venue, all levels of football will represented at the completion of the project which is fantastic outcome for the football in the southeast.”

Guns overlooked for Interleague INTERLEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE squads have been announced for the Nepean and Peninsula Football Netball Leagues, however, football selectors appear to have been short-sighted on their selections. Rye coach Ben Holmes, Pearcedale coach Ben Cadd and league legend Adam Hunter will coach the Nepean team, while Stephen Ryan (Pines) and Troy Shannon will take control of the Peninsula League team for the second year running. The Netball panel has been headed-up by Crib Point’s Laura Herrington, while Peninsula netball will be led by Mt Eliza’s Samantha Clarke. Nepean League will play at Rosebud’s Olympic Oval on Saturday, May 24 against Central Murray, while Peninsula League will tackle Geelong FL at Skilled Stadium on the same day. Nepean players including Ethan Rahilly (Tyabb), Josh Collie, Rohan Hogenbirk (Somerville), Steve Charalam-

The initial Nepean League squad is: Crib Point: Jon Flack, Luke Herrington, Dean Warry, Waide Symes Devon Meadows: Beau Miller, Callum O’Hare, Chris Doria, James Bow, Steve McInnes Dromana: Steven Gaertner, Jay Neratzoglou, Paul Minchington, Anthony Bruhn, Christian Ongarello, Daniel Waddell, Terry Wheeler.
