New PM pumps up Baxter line Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au AUSTRALIA’S new Prime Minister Scott Morrison has made first visit to Frankston as leader, visiting Leawarra station to reaffirm the federal government’s $228 million commitment to electrifying the Frankston train line to Baxter. Dunkley MP Chris Crewther, Minister for Cities, Urban Infrastructure and Population Alan Tudge MP, and Victorian leader of the opposition Matthew Guy MP were among the many faces on hand to support the

statement. “This is a project which we announced in the budget, this is a commitment that is fair-dinkum. I’m really pleased to hear about the commitment from Matthew Guy and his team to make sure that this congestion busting infrastructure can be put in place here from Frankston to Baxter,” Mr Morrison said. “I’ll be very pleased to work with a state government that wants to get on and get things done. The Frankston-Baxter line we are 100 percent committed too. The money is in the budget which I handed down for both of these projects, and

we’re keen to get on with it. “We’re here at the Frankston corridor, and that corridor has a lot of challenges to it. This infrastructure solution is a key part of meeting that challenge. It’s great to be here to reaffirm the commitments that I have made in the budget as treasurer, which I confirm today as Prime Minister.” Chris Crewther MP confirmed plans that stations at Frankston East and Langwarrin would be built as part of the $453 million project. The project is currently reliant on both committed funds from the federal government and pledged

funds by the state Liberals. The Prime Minister confirmed that if a Liberal government were elected in November’s state election, the project would be on track for completion in 2023. Matthew Guy MP confirmed a state Liberal contribution of $225 million to the project should they win the election, and the Prime Minister called on the state Labor government to match the investment. “I don’t think there is a back up plan to the Labor party not spending money. If the Labor party want to commit to this project I welcome it, and if they don’t, you’ve got a

Liberal opposition who is going to invest in it. I’d encourage people to take that option,” Mr Morrison said. “Right now I’d like to see them commit $225 million to the Frankston-Baxter line. That’s what I’d like to see them do.” The Times reported on 6 August that the state Labor party was conducting a $3 million business case study to assess the feasibility of the project before committing any funds (“Labor comes to Baxter line party”, The Times 6/8/18). Requests for an update on this process were not answered before publication deadline.

Jubilee Park sees first upgrades

Council calls for allowance raise

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

FRANKSTON councillors have called on the federal government to raise the rate of Newstart, youth allowance, and other related payments. Frankston Council have joined the ‘Raise the rate’ campaign led by the Australian Council of Social Services, which was developed in response to the “unacceptable” number of Newstart and youth allowance recipients living below the poverty line. Frankston City mayor Colin Hampton is calling on residents to join council’s support for the campaign by signing an online petition. “When there are people still struggling to afford daily basics such as food and a roof over their head, something needs to change. The Newstart Allowance has barely increased in the past 24 years, despite the drastic rise in housing and utility costs, and changes to the labour market,” Cr Hampton said. “The reality is that a single person with no children living on Newstart is forced to survive on just $39 per day. This money is expected to cover their rent, bills, food, transport and medical costs. It’s just not enough.” A statement from council noted that in March 2018, there were 4,705 Newstart recipients in Frankston City, and 592 unemployed young people receiving youth allowance. For more information and to view the petition visit: acoss.org.au/ RaiseTheRate

NEW facilities including cricket nets and a netball shelter have been opened at Jubilee Park, marking the beginning of a series of planned works for the precinct. Dunkley MP Chris Crewther attended the opening, confirming that the federal Liberal government had made a $160,000 contribution towards the most recent batch of works. “I’m delighted that the Australian Government has been able to provide $160,000 to partner with council to build new cricket nets, netball court shelter and PA system, and to develop concept design plans for a new indoor stadium at Jubilee Park. This will benefit the growth and development of local netball, football, basketball and cricket communities, and contribute to the health and social wellbeing of the community,” Mr Crewther said. “As announced in June, I have also been able to secure in-principle budgeted federal funding of $5.2 million towards the expanded indoor stadium project at Jubilee Park. I am excited to see this vision become a reality for the community. It is wonderful to see these projects come to fruition for the benefit of the local community.” The $5.2 million in federal government funding for the Jubilee Park precinct came after planned investment into Frankston Basketball Stadium in Seaford was pulled earlier in the year.

The finished development of Jubilee Park is expected to cost over $30 million. Frankston City Mayor Colin Hampton thanked the federal and state governments for their contribution to the refurbishment so far. “I’d like to thank the Federal and Victorian Government’s for their generous contributions towards these upgrades and plans, and look forward to them continuing to sup-

port the full redevelopment of Jubilee Park as a regional hub for netball, cricket, basketball and football,” Cr Hampton said. “Council has already committed $10.6 million towards expanding the indoor stadium at Jubilee Park alongside the Federal Government’s existing $5.2 million, which will provide elite pathways for our future sports stars. But we need still addi-

tional funding to get this $31.5 million project underway. “This is a fantastic example of all three levels of government working in partnership for the benefit of the local community and Council looks forward to this positive relationship continuing to deliver vital improvements within Frankston City.”

Money for miscarriage support WITH voting for the Victorian government’s ‘Pick your Project’ initiative soon drawing to a close, a number of projects from across the Frankston region are battling it out for funding. One of those services looking to push for support is the Miscarriage Information Support Service, which aims to help provide emotional support services to women and their partners who have experienced a miscarriage. The service is volunteer run and receives no ongoing funding, which is why they are putting their hands up for the ‘Pick your Project’ initiative.

Hot stuff: Detective Senior Constable James Keegan, of Frankston CIU, with the stolen property seized last week. Picture: Yanni

Arrest leads to property seizures DETECTIVES who raided three properties linked to a Frankston man charged with 20 counts of theft of cars, theft from cars, theft and handling stolen goods last month unearthed a treasure trove of stolen goods. The raids occurred in Frankston, Beaconsfield and Berwick. Detective Senior Constable James Keegan, of Frankston CIU, said the $20,000 haul included assorted tradies’ tools, building equipment, electrical gear, stereo and diagnostic equipment – and a caravan possibly stolen from a Frankston City Council storage yard.

Much of the equipment was allegedly stolen from building sites. The man, 42, was apprehended in Chelsea in a stolen vehicle while allegedly attempting to jump-start another vehicle, Thursday 16 August. A set of number plates in his possession were linked to another stolen car. He has been on remand since Thursday 16 August and will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, 24 September. A Frankston woman, 34, was also arrested in the raids and charged with related offences. She will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Detectives seek clues in Frankston burglary

A MAN who smashed a glass door at a Frankston house armed himself with a piece of glass and allegedly threatened the occupants before being fought off by another man inside, 5pm, Wednesday 29 August. Police were told 38-year-old man and two women aged 19 and 37 at the Caley Street house were uninjured in the attack. The man pushed the offender back preventing him from entering the house and he fled on foot empty handed. He is described as aged in his late 20s-early 30s, Islander-Maori in appearance, 177cm tall with dark hair. He was wearing a long sleeved dark-coloured T-shirt, dark coloured pants and dark shoes. Leading Senior Constable Natalie Dean urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Drug-driving together

A CAR without number plates pulled over near Skye Road, Frankston, 1am, Monday 3 September, was found to be unregistered. The 55-year-old female driver, of Karingal, was also unlicensed and a drug test allegedly tested her posi-

tive to methylamphetamine. The woman will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date on multiple road traffic charges. After she made a call to arrange a lift home a 49-year-old man, also of Karingal, drove up. He was drug tested and also allegedly tested positive to methylamphetamine. He was ordered not to drive for at least 12 hours and faces a minimum six month licence suspension. Police said the pair decided to walk home.

School play gear burnt

PLAYGROUND equipment valued at $12,000 was set alight, Monday 3 September. Police said the offenders used an accelerant to start the fire at Nepean Special School, Klauer Street, Seaford, at 3.20pm. Anyone with information should call Detective Antony Maxwell, 9784 5555.

Raiders flee empty handed

RAM raiders caused extensive damage to cabinets at a Seaford milk bar

but missed out on stealing cigarettes, 4.50am, Saturday 1 September. They were also unsuccessful in trying to break into the Austin Road shop from the rear. An earlier raid at the TSG smokes shop at Karingal, in which possibly the same offenders tried to drive a car through roller shutters, was also thwarted. Police said a smoke-screen device prevented the theft of cigarettes from the Ashleigh Avenue business, 1.58am, Saturday 1 September.

Dogs have their day

THE Dog Squad was called in to track the driver and passenger of a stolen ute which attempted to evade police, 5.56am, Thursday 30 August, in Cranbourne Road, Langwarrin. The ute, towing a trailer, allegedly veered onto the wrong side of Cranbourne Road before a tyre was blown out by police stop-sticks. The men allegedly dumped the car in Robinsons Road and ran off. A Mooroopna man, 24, and Cranbourne man, 20, will face Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date on traffic, theft of motor car, and evade-police charges.

Neighbours assist at house fire THE cause of a house fire at Blairgowrie, Sunday 2 September, is being investigated by police. No one was at the two-storey

brick house in Fawkner Avenue when the blaze broke out at 5.30pm. However, police want to identify two-three men in their 20s seen earlier trying to put out the flames before CFA crews arrived. One was wearing a red track suit. Firefighters from Sorrento, Rye and Rosebud worked hard to control the blaze. Anyone knowing the men or who assisted with the house fire is asked to call Detective Sergeant John Coburn, at Mornington Peninsula CIU, 5978 1431.

Highway blocked by rollover

A TRUCK and trailer carrying an excavator which tipped over at a roundabout at Ballarto Road, Skye, last week blocked Western Port Highway northbound. Traffic was diverted at Cranbourne Road after the incident, 7am, Tuesday 4 September. Eastbound Ballarto Road traffic was forced to

turn right at the highway roundabout to head south. Emergency services advised motorists to use alternative routes and avoid the area until the rig could be righted. Nobody was injured. A 33 yearold truck driver, of Lynbrook, was assisting VicRoads investigators with their inquiries.

Colourful day has a message

ROSEBUD Police showed their support of the LGBTI+ community on “Wear it Purple” Day, Friday 31 August, by dressing their station with the rainbow flag and purple decorations. The origins of the day in 2010 began as a social media campaign by two students. Since then, hundreds of schools, universities and workplaces have joined the international movement. Acting Sergeant Julia Starkey, the station’s Gay and Lesbian Liaison Officer, and her colleagues at Rosebud police are happy to provide assistance to the LGBTI+ community, their friends and families, in seeking support with reporting crime, family violence and referrals.

LOCAL business owner Julia Renaud will be trekking a long way from home when she travels to Cambodia in October to help run workshops for disadvantaged teens. Ms Renaud will be travelling to help out at Sunrise Cambodia, an orphanage run by Order of Australia recipient Geraldine Cox. Ms Renaud said she is travelling with a group called project Gen Z to help young people find their feet and build financial independence. “We are going specifically to run workshops with 15-22 year olds on how to set up their own business and become self sufficient. Being a business owner, I like that we will be teaching them business skills so they can really make a go of their own lives,” she said. The cause of helping out in Cambodia is one that is close to Ms Renaud, given her close family ties to the area. “This is personal for me because my mother was born in Cambodia and I was raised with three Cambodian orphans in the family. My adopted sister Phuong Roden is a Cambodian orphan herself and she’ll be helping me with the fundraising event,” Ms Renaud said. Ms Renaud has paid her own expenses and will be holding a fundraiser at The Bay Mordialloc with 100% of the funds going to the children at Sunrise Cambodia. Musical act Jimmi Hocking will be among the guests at the fundraiser, which will kick off at 5pm on 16 September. For more information or to get tickets, email Julia Renaud at info@juliarenaud. com.

Support gathers for Dingley golf course Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE number of submissions from people hoping to save Kingswood Golf Course in Dingley from being turned into housing has surpassed 8000. The charge to save the course from being subdivided into lots is being run by the Save Kingswood Group, which has been rallying to prevent the development for the last three years. “The course is in the centre of Dingley Village and it’s the only big tree parkland we have. This development could easily flood out Dingley Village more than it does already, and traffic, infrastructure, and services are barely keeping up at the moment. They certainly wouldn’t be able to cater for another 1000 small units. We do love the green nature at Dingley Village and it’s just sacrilege to bulldoze it,” Save Kingswood Group Secretary Kevin Poulter said. The cut off point to submit the objections was 30 August, and the Save Kingswood Group has now submitted them to Kingston council offices. Plans have been touted since 2015 to redistribute the land and turn it into housing. The project’s senior development manager Anna Martin-

iello outlined the plan for the course to The News earlier in the year. “We are proposing a masterplanned residential community, with 760 individual lots. The development will include a mixture of lowdensity and medium-density housing, more than 14.6 percent of the site dedicated to usable open space, flood retention works for some 62,000m3 of stormwater, more than five times the statutory requirement, a financial contribution to council of $7525 per dwelling, and a dedicated financial contribution towards affordable housing,” she said (“Homes plan on course”, The News 25/7/18). The Dingley Golf Course land was bought by fund manager ISPT for $125 million in 2014. On 27 August Kingston Council debated whether they were ready to prepare a feedback report for the land’s planning scheme amendment for their September meeting, but that was voted down. Cr Barth said that consulting all stakeholders and preparing the report is “too significant a task for it to be rushed” given the large number of submissions. This delays any decision on the future of the course until later in the year. A summary of community feedback is an aspect of that planned report. Member for Isaacs Mark Dreyfus MP has publicly flagged his opposition to the plan to turn the 53 hectare

space into housing. Mr Dreyfus has recently been knocking on doors to signal his concerns to residents in the Dingley area. “Dingley Village is a fantastic community, but it has limited public transport options and the proposed development of Peninsula Kingswood Golf Club would clearly create significant road congestion and change the village feel of the community,” he said. “I’ve met with members of the Save Kingswood group and spoken to many Dingley Village residents about this matter. It is clear to me that this proposed development is not right for Dingley Village and the planning scheme amendment application should be rejected. “Developers should not assume that when they buy special usezoned land it will be re-zoned as a formality. That is not how planning should work. This is a fight that can be won. I have made a submission to council opposing this proposed planning scheme amendment and I encourage Dingley Village residents to do the same. “The community feel of Dingley Village matters. This development should be rejected and the land retained for open space for generations to come.

Fun for all: All Abilities day was a hit at Mornington Civic Reserve. Picture: Yanni

Having fun the goal for all abilities Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au RECREATIONAL and educational activities for people of varying abilities, held Wednesdays at the Civic Reserve Recreation Centre, Mornington, are popular. The Fit N Fun program allows up to 40 participants to enjoy being with their friends and connecting with the community. Participants develop confidence to participate in sporting and physical activity programs, increase their skills, and are advised on healthy eating and personal relationships. They enjoy the challenge of shooting

a goal – as well as having fun, interacting and physical activity. The program follows on from the success of the All Abilities day in December when Belgravia Leisure and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council joined to provide regular activities year round for those interested. They aimed to provide a variety of recreational opportunities that could expand on the sporting program by including an educational component. Community groups involved are the Advocacy Group, Valid, Monash University, Special Olympics Australia and disability providers on the peninsula. Other supporters are the police and Peninsula Health.

ESCAPE FROM IT ALL AT MONTE VISTA BOASTING a prized location in the heart of Sorrento, this is an outstanding opportunity to add not one, but two magnificent properties to your investment portfolio, or secure for yourself and the generations to come, the ultimate in family retreats by the bay. Monte Vista is the jewel in the crown of self-contained apartment living on the southern peninsula where you can enjoy to the full the quaint and colourful shops and cafes of the town. Apartment Five is a warm and inviting affair with delicious high ceilings really accentuating the sense of space and light. Set across two levels there is a fine selection of private outdoor decks that afford a splendid outlook across the town to the water, Internally though the apartment showcases an enormous lounge with wool carpets and a gas, log-effect fireplace, a pleasant dining area sits opposite the stunning kitchen which has stone benchtops, an induction cook top and a dishwasher, and moving downstairs is a versatile second living area. The master bedroom has a walk-through wardrobe to an ensuite with the main bathroom set across the hall and a second bedroom a little further down. Apartment 16 is a single-level dwelling also with two bedrooms and an equally fine lounge room with gas log fireplace. A comfortable sitting room has the charm of a bay window which in turn floods the kitchen with welcome natural light. There is also a beautiful bathroom and from the front verandah you can get a glimpse of the bay. For peace of mind secure parking, storage and an alarm system are all included here. What makes these properties so attractive as a joint purchase is the walkway that provides seamless access between the two apartments.n

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Lance Corporal Holland wounded again each week from 6pm.

Compiled by Brodie Cowburn LANCE Corporal Lyle Holland late driver for the Peninsula Motor Garage Pty Ltd Frankston has been wounded (second occasion) in France. *** A FOOTBALL match between Frankston and Hastings will be played at Frankston today. Last Saturday Mordialloc visited Frankston, and after an interesting game, won by 2 points. *** AN order has been made by the Executive Council providing that all butchers’ shops within the shire of Frankston and Hastings shall close on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings in

*** A WORKING bee under the auspices of the Frankston Progress Association will be held this (Saturday) afternoon, when the old fence on the eastern side of the Mornington road, opposite the tennis court, will be removed. A good muster of members and intending members is requested. *** HELP for the Wounded—The Frankston school children are sending their annnal contribution of food and delicacies, to the brave fellows who have battered their health out fighting for us, and who now lie wounded and spent in the wards of their noble Institution the Caulfield Base Hospital. The parcels will be sent away next Tuesday, and donations of the following will be most gratefully received by the children – Bacon, Eggs, Butter, Cheese, Tinned-milk, Cakes, Jams, Fruits, Sweets, Jellies Sauces, Coffee, Cocoa. Sugar, Oatmeal, Maize, Tobacca, Cigarettes, etc. *** OWING to an error in the wording of the advertisement convening the meeting, nothing could be done at the meeting to elect a local executive committee under the Commonwealth Repatriation act, which was held in Frankston on Wednesday. It was ultimately decided that another meeting be called, and this will be held on Friday, 20th inst. A deplorable lack of interest is being shown by the majority of residents in the most important repatriation work, and it is to be hoped that they will shake off their apathy, and roll up in force on Friday evening. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 14 September 1918

Tigers take out premiership DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn DROMANA have held Red Hill at bay to claim the 2018 MPNFL Division Two premiership at Frankston Park. The Tigers lost just two games for the entire year, with both their defeats coming at the hands of Red Hill. The Hillmen have improved in leaps and bounds this season under coach Jamie Mollo, and having defeated Dromana just two weeks earlier in their first final they entered the Grand Final full of confidence. Red Hill’s quest to claim their first premiership since 1990 hit a snag early, when Rheede Hopgood was struck down before the match with a calf injury. Andrew Mock came in as a late replacement. Things got worse for the Hillmen when Dromana held them goalless in the first quarter. Nerves were a big issue for Red Hill early, as they failed to hit targets and turned the ball over on numerous occasions going forward. Having not hit the scoreboard yet, they needed to hit the ground running in the second quarter. After the first break the Hillmen stormed back into contention, booting six unanswered goals to stun the Tigers. Jono Ross and Sean Marchetti led the charge for the Hillmen, booting five goals between them in just 15 minutes. After a sloppy start they started to hit their targets and look dangerous. Things were set to get even worse for the Tigers, as gun forward Ethan

Johnstone exited the field holding his right shoulder. He was in visible discomfort, and ruled out for the remainder of the game. Down by two goals and needing someone to stand up in front of goal in the wake of Johnstone’s early exit, Dromana needed a hero to claim control of the match. Sam Fowler was the man to lead from the front for the Tigers, nabbing a goal just before half time and continuing to trouble the scorers in the second half. The Tigers recovered from their sloppy second quarter to claim back the lead early in the third term, and began dictating the play. Star defender Jonah Siversen was busy for Red Hill, but he could only do so much to stem the flow of Dromana attacks. By three quarter time the Tigers held a 13 point lead, but there was still plenty of noise around the Red Hill huddle. The Hillmen kept themselves in contention and were the better side in the final term, but ultimately were made to pay for their sloppiness in the first term. Coach Rikki Johnston stood tall late to kick the sealing goal for his side, as the Tigers clinched the premiership cup in a 9.5 (59) to 10.7 (67) thriller. Dromana will be taking their silky brand of football to Division One next season, as they have been promoted as a result of their premiership win. Rosebud have been relegated to Division Two.

Sharks into big dance DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn SORRENTO has earned their way through to the MPNFL Division One Grand Final with a win over Mt Eliza at Frankston Park. The game got off to a great start for Sorrento, as Shannon Gladman opened the scoring with an impressive banana kick. Mt Eliza quickly replied though, as last weeks seven goal superstar Jordan Moncrieff snagged an early goal. Mt Eliza went behind early but fought back in the second term, as an unlikely bounce saw the ball fall into the lap of Moncrieff, who put the Redlegs within two points. The Sharks soon fell behind, and went into the half time break behind by seven points. In the second half, Sorrento looked sharp and brought the game back on level terms thanks to a monster effort from skipper James Hallahan. Leigh Poholke put the Sharks ahead and suddenly it was the Redlegs on the ropes. A five goals to none third term had the Redlegs hurting, but it wasn’t all good news for the Sharks though, as Chris Dawes went off the ground with an injured leg, putting his finals campaign in jeopardy. The Sharks were too good for the Redlegs in the end, as the loss brought an end to Mt Eliza’s season and Troy Shannon’s tenure as coach. Sorrento won the match 12.12 (84) to 9.9 (63) and will play Pines at Frankston Park on Sunday.

Dolphins depart for St Kilda coaches box VFL

By Brodie Cowburn FRANKSTON Dolphins will are on the lookout for a new coach, after current senior coach Adam Skrobolak accepted a full time position with St Kilda for next year. Skrobolak was appointed coach for the Dolphins’ return the VFL, and helped guide the side to two wins this season. Skrobolak has been balancing his work with the Dolphins with a part time role with the Saints this season. “It was definitely a decision I wrestled with for a long time, given I’ve only had the one year at the club and how invested I am with the current players. In the end the opportunity presented to me was compelling and gives me an opportunity to impact at the Saints in the areas that match my strengths,” Skrobolak said. “It’s been an incredible and at times crazy 12 months. I think people on the outside underestimate the amount of effort that has gone into re-establishing this football

club in the VFL. Not just from myself, and the other coaches and players, but right across the club. As we sit here today, I think we have a pretty strong footy program in place and I’m hoping that the next coach can pick that up, improve the playing list and build on it further.” Dolphins assistant coach Jake Batchelor will also depart the club at the end of the year to link up with Skrobolak in a full time role with St Kilda. Frankston Dolphins general manager Gary Buckenara said that “there will be a real Frankston flavour to their coaching panel next year”. “To have two members of our 2018 coaching panel considered in such high esteem and offered full time AFL roles is something for us to take pride in as a football club,” he said “We wish Adam and Jake all the very best, but I’m confident that we will attract some really high quality coaching candidates for our role.” The club is aiming to appoint their new senior coach by late September.

‘Jamo’ back at Mornington, Baxter safe SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie Adam Jamieson’s return to Mornington and Baxter’s escape from relegation are the major stories to emerge from last weekend’s final round of the league season. Mornington will announce this week that Jamieson has been appointed as head coach for 2019. It will be his second stint at the club after stepping down last May citing work commitments as the main reason for his departure. Jamieson first took the reins at Dallas Brooks Park in 2009 and led Mornington from Provisional League to the doorstep of the NPL winning State 1 championships in 2015 and 2016. “A big part of taking on the job again is having Nathan Peel as my assistant,” Jamieson said. Peel is a former English professional who has been on the books of Preston North End, Sheffield United and Burnley and is the principal of Absolute Soccer academy and former director of coaching at Mount Martha soccer club. “Nathan said he’d only come in if I was involved and that’s what started me talking with some Mornington committee members again and here we are,” Jamieson added. Jamieson will also look closely at Mornington’s junior structure while Peel will be involved with coaching education at that level. “I think we have to probably stop looking overseas to some degree and start looking at getting results with local talent if we can,” Jamieson said. He has hit the ground running having already agreed terms with an NPL striker and is rumoured to be holding talks with a goalkeeper this week. Mornington ended the State 1 SouthEast season with a 3-1 home win over Malvern City last weekend. Keegan Ziada (2) and Andre Bennett scored for the home side. Meanwhile Baxter completed the great escape on Saturday with an 86thminute Mark Pagliarulo goal giving it a 2-2 draw at home to championship aspirant Springvale City. The result saved Baxter from relegation and pitched Springvale into a promotion play-off after it finished runner-up to Monash Uni. “Pags” came out of retirement to play the last few games for Baxter and has now written a climactic final chapter to his already colourful career there. He ensured a nailbiting end to a topsy-turvy season with a looping header

Great escape: Baxter senior coach Roy Kilner flanked by sons Liam (left) and Owen after Saturday’s dramatic 2-2 draw with Springvale City. Picture: Joyce Kilner

from a Ben Meiklem free-kick that sent Baxter fans into raptures. Baxter had taken the lead in the 22nd minute when Jake Kidder headed home Dan Disseldorp’s cross. Five minutes into the second half scores were level after a Jullet Martin strike was deflected past Baxter keeper James Foster. When Daniel Vargas went down inside the area in the 71st minute and Arnel Zahirovic converted from the spot to make it 2-1 Baxter was teetering on the edge. Springvale was within touching distance of the title until “Pags” spoilt their party and started one of his own. Baxter senior coach Roy Kilner stepped down after the match ending his second stint with the club which now is on the lookout for a coach for the 2019 season. In NPL2 news Langwarrin failed to send Gus Macleod out on a winning note when it went down 1-0 away to Melbourne City on Saturday. A Sam Morrison goal in the 65th minute proved decisive. In NPLW news Southern United lost 4-1 at home on Saturday to Senior NTC. The visitors hit the front in the 20th minute when Southern keeper Freya Crocker did well to get down and parry but the rebound was slammed into the roof of the net by Georgie Richardson.

A Holly Furphy tap-in in the 20th minute made it 2-0 but great work by Southern’s US import Michaela Dooley down the right three minutes from half-time was capped by a superb cross and a simple close-range finish from Sarah Wieck to make it 2-1. A back post header from Shaelan Chamoun in the 55th minute made it 3-1 and Ashley Jordan completed the scoreline in the 66th minute after winning possession and striking a low shot inside the far post. Earlier in the day Southern’s under16s lost 2-0 to league champion Mini NTC. Southern used the match as preparation for its upcoming finals campaign by using its under-14s knowing that its regular under-16s faced a catch-up match the next day. And although the elite NTC juniors enjoyed the bulk of possession Southern held them at bay and fashioned a handful of good scoring chances. NTC opened its account in the 19th minute after a superb turn and finish from close range by Sienna Cappola. NTC’s Silver Bell Morris played an excellent through ball in the 36th minute and Cappola cleverly lobbed the ball on the volley over advancing Southern keeper Caddy Vakacavu from the edge of the area. Southern’s under-19s lost 8-1 to Junior NTC with Stara Karimi scoring for Southern late in the match.

In State 2 South-East news, Peninsula Strikers lost 5-3 away to Mazenod on Saturday. The result sent the home team into State 1 next season while Strikers had already cemented their place in State 2. The news wasn’t good for Frankston Pines though as last weekend’s 4-1 loss away to Doncaster Rovers anchored the local side to the bottom of the State 2 South-East ladder and condemned it to the drop. James Kalifatidis (3) and Masayuki Hata scored for Doncaster while Mitch Landers scored for Pines. In State 3 South-East news Skye United finished the season with a 2-2 home draw against Brighton on Saturday. Cam Leopold notched a double for Skye while Brighton’s goals came from Michael Knott and a Billy Painting own goal. Harry McCartney reports that nineman Seaford is clinging to the faint hope that it has given itself a State 3 lifeline with an amazing 3-2 away win over Noble Park United last weekend. Seaford hit the lead in the 13th minute after good work from youngster Cody Storton-French earned a corner and Noble Park’s botched clearance from the set piece was met by Matty Schwellinger whose half-volley went in off the crossbar. Nine minutes later Conor Mcfall

was awarded a dubious penalty and Dean Snoxell converted to make it 2-0. In the 38th minute Seaford was caught square at the back as Vojislav Milojevic ran onto a Nicholas Andrejic through ball for an easy finish past Seaford keeper Anthony Madafferi. Eight minutes into the second half scores were level as Seaford was hit on the counter attack allowing Denny Bejan to tap in from close range. Seaford’s hopes took another hit in the 84th minute when Matty Schwellinger was sent off for swearing after being on the wrong end of a late challenge. But a minute later another Seaford youngster, Mitch Hawkins, met a bouncing ball and lobbed it from 25 metres over the advancing keeper to make it 3-2. In the 88th minute Mcfall received a second caution making for a nervous finish as the referee found six and a half minutes of injury time but Seaford somehow held on. The result means Seaford finishes second bottom and seems certain to be relegated albeit that it thinks it may benefit from the domino effect of Morwell Pegasus’ withdrawal from State 1 South East. In State 5 South news Somerville Eagles’ promotion push ended in a heartbreaking 1-0 away loss to Pakenham United on Saturday. Against the run of play Pakenham’s Simon Johnstone-Robertson scored in the 78th minute and the home side held on. In injury time Pakenham’s gamesmanship took its toll with a second yellow card to Damian Finnegan and a straight red for James McKenzie summing up an afternoon of frustration. Somerville player-coach Dave Greening lauded the efforts of his players after the match. “Obviously at this stage emotions are raw and we are all disappointed. The lads are devastated,” Greening said. “But I’m proud of them, they are a great bunch and we will lick our wounds, recharge our batteries and come back in 2019 determined to make sure this time next year we are celebrating.” Aspendale was thumped 6-1 at home to Knox United last weekend but despite the loss the club consolidated its status in its first season in State 5 South. Next weekend’s game: SATURDAY 10.15am: Southern Utd v South Melbourne (U14 semifinal, Monterey Reserve).

Off and running: Mornington little athletes enjoy a day out at their current venue. Picture: Supplied

HUNDREDS of eager runners are set to head to Mornington Park for the annual Mornington Running Festival which kicks off on Sunday 23 September. The running festival will see runners race down the Esplanade in Mornington to as far as the Mount Martha village for events such as the 1km kid’s dash, the 5km and 10km fun runs/walks and the popular 21.1km half marathon. The starting and finishing points for

all events is located at Mornington Park, while the Esplanade will have the beachside-half of the road closed to all traffic to allow the runners to complete their single lap out-andback course. Four completion-based team challenges (Primary School, Secondary College/High School, Sporting Clubs, and Community/Corporate/Family/ Friends) will be run on the day, with the team with the highest aggregate points winning a clothing package

valued at $1,000. Trophies will also be awarded to the top three finishes for male and female in each category, except for the kid’s race, where each child competing will receive a medal and spot prizes throughout the day. The price to compete in each category varies. For more information on the Mornington Running Festival go to www.morningtonrunningfestival.com/. Ben Triandafillou

Little Aths track gets underway CONSTRUCTION on the Mornington Little Athletics Centre’s new $2 million IAAF standard athletics track at Civic Reserve, Mornington has started to get underway. Civil work construction commenced a few weeks ago to level out the dirt and create an even surface for their new track to be built on, and the little athletes are on track to be competing on the new surface by October 2019. Mornington Little Aths president Todd Martin said that with a bit of luck, the club should be on the track by the start of their 2019/20 season. “We always thought it would be around that time next year with all the planning and construction which had to be done,” Martin said. “The federal government have pledged $2 million to Little Athletics and $1 million to the Mt Martha Soccer Club, and the council, out of this year’s budget, have also pledged about $3.5 million. So it’ll be a bit over $6 million which is being planned to be spent on the complex.” The upgraded Civic Reserve complex is planned to have four new soccer pitches as well as the new athletics track. Martin also said that a future pavilion has been in discussion over the past three to four months. “A new pavilion has been bought

up but it isn’t completely funded as of yet,” he said. “The planning on what is to be done with the pavilion has been done in consultation with us and the soccer club. We’ve landed on an idea on how it will look, but it’s likely to be a little while longer before construction begins on that depending on the financial support. “There’s no real definite time set on the new pavilion but I’d be assuming it’d be a couple years off at the moment.” Currently the Mornington Little Athletics Centre has been utilising the Mornington Secondary College as their temporary set-up since moving from their original venue at Mace Oval, Mt Martha just over a year and a half ago. Martin said having Mornington Secondary College as a venue has been a great help for the club. “It’s been good. The school has been very accommodating for us,” he said. “It’s given us a good opportunity to run on a 400m track instead of the 250m track that we had at Mace Oval. It doesn’t sound like a massive difference, but it does change the way that the program runs, and it has been a good experience to run around there in preparation for our move to Civic Reserve.” Ben Triandafillou

Written By ready and rearing for big return GRAHAME Begg’s boom colt, Written By, will have his final exhibition gallop at Mornington on Thursday 13 September before he makes a muchanticipated return to the races next Saturday. The dominant Blue Diamond winner is set to gallop between races at the Mornington meeting before he returns to Caulfield on Saturday 22 September as he tries to keep his unblemished record at the track intact. Despite bungling the start, the son of Written Tycoon has also won a trial at Sandown on Thursday 30 August, and trainer Grahame Begg believes his final gallop at Mornington will top him off nicely. “Just going to the races should stimulate him a bit more and get the juices flowing,” Begg said. “He won’t need another jump out. He’s only running over 1000m first up so it should be sufficient enough for him.

“By the time he returns he would have had three trips away and that’ll be plenty for him. He’ll certainly be sharp enough [for the 1000m].” The form around Written By’s two-year-old season is also filling Begg with a bit of confidence heading forward, with several runners coming back and franking the form in their three-year-old season. Most notably, the Darren Weirtrained Native Soldier finished two-lengths behind Written By in the Blue Diamond Prelude and has since been an emphatic three-length winner of the Group Three H.D.F McNeil Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday 1 September. The Tony McEvoy-trained filly Sunlight, who finished less than a length in front of Written By in the Group One Golden Slipper, has also come back and been a strong winner of the Group Three Quezette Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday 18 August.

“Lots of other horses have won and run well, and it’s the same with this coming Saturday (8 September),” Begg said. “There’s a lot coming back that have run against him in Melbourne and Sydney so we’ll keep a close eye on that form.” Following his exhibition gallop, Written By is set to return in a 1000m set weights and penalties race at Caulfield before being aimed at the $350,000 Blue Sapphire (1200m) at Caulfield in October. Begg said the plan is to head thirdup into the Group One Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington during the Melbourne Cup carnival. While the Coolmore Stud Stakes is Written By’s main aim for the spring, Begg also said the Group One Darley Classic (1200m) in November could be on the cards but would be highly dependent on how Written By pulls up after each run.

Gulls complete clean sweep BASKETBALL

By Ben Triandafillou THE Chelsea Gulls weren’t fazed by an unfortunate change of venue, and scored a convincing victory over the Shepparton Gators to take out the Big V division one championship on Saturday 1 September. A car crash, where no one was injured, was the cause of the late change of venue, with a fallen power pole restricting access to the Gulls’ stadium. The Gulls instead faced the Gators in the second round of the bestof-three grand final series at the Frankston Basketball Stadium. That didn’t stop the massive wave of Gulls supporters flocking to the game to see their side lift the championship banner. The Gulls quickly took up the lead in the opening quarter and didn’t look back. While the Gators threw out a challenge in the second quarter, they were unable to match the vigour shown by the Gulls. The Gulls’ “big three” in Corey Standerfer, Matt Brasser and Mitch Riggs certainly bought their best to the final, dropping 62 points between them to claim the win by 10 points (83-73). Chelsea Gulls’ head coach Peter Caspersz said the way the side was playing, the championship victory never looked in doubt. “Hindsight’s a great thing, but after the first quarter it was pretty much all over,” Caspersz said. “They made a run at us in the

second quarter, but we answered everything that they threw our way. “Corey was a standout and got the MVP, probably by a country mile.

Mitch Riggs dropped 22-points and Matt Brasser went 14 (points) and 10 (rebounds). “The big three certainly came

through.” For the overall season, the Chelsea Gulls dropped just the three games and will look to push that

form into the state championship division next season. Caspersz said there will be some changes to the side to hopefully help match it with the competition in the higher division. “We’ll look at getting a second import and probably a new power forward and centre,” he said. “We use multiple [power forwards] at the moment, like Corey, but we need somebody who’s probably around six foot, 10 [inches] to be able to negate the bigger the guys. “It’s going to be tough [in the state championship division], and we’re going to need them.” Caspersz believes the step up to the state championship division is well within their capabilities. “Between the first couple of teams in division one, I think they would make the transition pretty well, but anyone else I think would struggle,” he said. “We will get a few practise matches in, but we won’t play anyone below us as it can give you a false reading on how you’re travelling.” The Gulls have their presentation night on Saturday 8 September before their league’s presentation in two weeks’ time. “We’ll then have a few weeks completely off,” Caspersz said. “I don’t think we’ll need to see each other for a bit after that, and we can all enjoy that time away.” The Big V season kicks off again in April 2019.

Keeper savours World Cup experience HOCKEY

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON Peninsula Hockey Club goalkeeper, Julia Ashmore, represented Australia for the first time in the over-45s Masters World Cup in Terrassa, Spain from Saturday 28 July to Sunday 5 August. Ashmore entered the Australian side with little expectations for the World Cup but returned home just one spot shy of earning a bronze medal. Ashmore helped the national side match it with the world’s best in the scorching conditions, and after claiming four of their five matches in the group stage, Australia made their way through to the semi-finals. In the semi-final, Australia faced the in-form English side, which had won all five of their matches in the group stage, and were defeated 3-1. Australia went on to face Russia in the third-versus-fourth final, and while the scores couldn’t be split during regular time (1-1), Russia eventually claimed the bronze medal to win by one goal in a shootout. Ashmore said it was a little disappointing to not come home with a medal, but as always it was an honour to represent her country. “We had plenty of opportunities to snatch the win, but in saying that we were up against the world’s best and we did the best that we could,” Ashmore said. “We were a bit gutted, but overall the Australian contingent did extremely well and the experience was absolutely unbelievable. “We had a great team and a great group of women, and we all gelled well.” Ashmore wore her required goalie gear throughout the World Cup in

conditions which reached upwards of 40 degrees during the day. “It was a little bit unbearable at times but there was only one game that the heat got to me and that was against the Netherlands (4-0 loss),” she said. “It was extremely hot but a fantastic experience with a few interesting events.” Prior to the World Cup, Australia played in a couple of practise matches, with one being against the over-35s English squad. “On the way to the practise game the bus broke down which wasn’t too great,” Ashmore said. “Then once we got going again there was a fire on the side of the freeway which caused more delays for about an hour and a half. “Then coming back, the bus broke down again so we had to get another bus to take us back, It was just a comedy of errors in the one day. “We got there in the end and they were very tough. It was a good game and we were beaten only by about one goal.” Ashmore is set to travel again to Bunbury, Perth on Friday 28 September for the over-40s National Championships. Fellow Mornington Peninsula Hockey Club players Emma Brown and Kim Trezise will be representing Victoria in the women’s over-35s. Rebecca Gipp will also be representing the women’s over-50s and Margaret Nettleship will be representing the women’s over-65s. In the Men’s division, Todd Lisson and Greg Burch will represent Victoria in the over-45s and over-55s, respectively.
