More cash splashed on Yacht Club Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars will be poured into the newly built Frankston Yacht Club in a bid to try to partially plug the financial hole that has seen at least $11 million of ratepayers’ cash so far sunk into the mostly-empty building on the foreshore. Councillors met behind closed doors after last Monday’s public council meeting on 16 October to discuss “additional works” in private for commercial-inconfidence reasons. It is understood more than $300,000 is likely to be spent on fitting out the lower floor of the yacht club for a potential cafe operator. Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial declined to disclose how much more money will be spent on the lower level refit. “Given the current basic structure of the facility, council will undertake a small amount of additional work to give prospective tenants a greater level of surety around access to and within the space they may wish to occupy,” Cr Cunial said in a written statement. “Council is keen to ensure the commercial tenancies at the yacht club are filled as soon as possible so residents and visitors can enjoy a unique dining experience that is on offer. An interim tenant will occupy the ground floor cafe area over the summer months.” The mayor said “a full scope” for the lower level works is not available “at this stage”. The new clubhouse was officially opened in July last year with the yacht

club its sole tenant but a proposed cafe on the lower floor and planned restaurant on the upper level did not open as originally planned and most of the building has sat empty since its grand opening. The new building was hailed as “a stunning addition to the waterfront precinct” when opened and a cafe and restaurant spruiked as “the jewel in the crown” of the new yacht club. In November last year, councillors sanctioned the spending of about $100,000 each year to keep the wooden exterior of the building in “pristine condition” to stop it turning “grey with age” when weather beaten on the foreshore. Disquiet about the failure to secure a cafe and restaurant tenant for the building is mounting. Questions are also being asked internally about council’s initial idea to be involved in a commercial food business venture. Ratepayers could also face a restaurant bill, costing more than $1 million, to fit out the upper level with a commercial kitchen since potential tenants have indicated they would not be prepared to pay for the kitchen before signing any lease. The Frankston Yacht Club was one of five major construction projects audited by council’s internal auditor Pitcher Partners. The audit report, completed in May, included Frankston Council “management comments” boasting of “a first floor restaurant with enviable views over Port Phillip Bay” despite the first floor remaining empty. A pop-up cafe operated on the ground floor of the building last summer.

Casting fun for all SOMETHING fishy was going down at Mordialloc Pier and Patterson River last weekend. Crowds of keen anglers hooked up to an enjoyable stint of fishing at part of the National Gone Fishing Day hosted by the Victorian Fisheries Authority. Vic Fish ambassador Rex Hunt, former Richmond Tigers premiership footy player and fishing and wildlife TV show presenter, joined families casting a line hoping to land a catch. Children were taught to cast, tie knots and know what to do with a fish when it’s caught as part of fishing clinics on the day. The Future Fish Foundation hosted its annual Mates Day the same day (Sunday 15 October) for people with disabilities to have a fun day out fishing at Carrum’s Launching Place on Patterson River.

Learn how to restart a heart EVERY day across Victoria 16 people need emergency care because their heart stops beating. Paramedics across Victoria last Monday (16 October) helped people understand what to do in a life-threatening emergency as part of a global effort on Restart a Heart Day. Bayside Shopping Centre visitors and people at Frankston Pier were among Victorians learning about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Ambulance Victoria acting CEO Mick Stephenson said only one in 10 people

survived a cardiac arrest. “This Restart a Heart Day we’re encouraging everyone to make sure they know what to do when a loved one’s heart stops beating so more lives can be saved,” Mr Stephenson said. “Paramedics attend more than 5000 cardiac arrests in Victoria each year and 74 per cent of those happen at home. Knowing CPR could help save the life of someone you know and love.” Mr Stephenson said every minute that CPR and defibrillation is delayed, a person’s chance of survival

decreases by 10 per cent. “Knowing how to use an AED can double the chances of survival for a patient. The devices are easy to use and provide step-by-step verbal instructions on what to do,” he said. “It’s a good idea to get familiar with a defibrillator and have a go, just in case you’re ever in the situation where someone’s life depends on it.” Organisations who have an AED onsite are encouraged to register the device with Ambulance Victoria. You can register an AED or find one in the community at registermyaed. ambulance.vic.gov.au online.

A SPECIAL meeting of councillors on Wednesday (25 October) may decide the fate of an $12 million upgrade to the Frankston Basketball Stadium. The project has been mired in bitter disagreement between Frankston Council and the Frankston & District Basketball Association for the past few months. Some councillors, including the mayor Cr Brian Cunial and Cr Colin Hampton who have been most vocal about the disagreement, have accused the association of holding up the stadium redevelopment by refusing to sign a new lease for the stadium. Association president Gary Emery says a June deal brokered by former federal Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson — called in as a mediator — has subsequently changed. At last Monday’s public council meeting it emerged that builder Devco Project & Construction Management will charge at least $200,000 due to project delays and council is negotiating with the association over splitting this bill. Devco contractors have been waiting to begin the redevelopment. “These negotiations have been protracted for a great period of time,” Cr Colin Hampton said at last week’s council meeting. “As a consequence, the cost of this development is escalat-

ing by many hundreds of thousands of dollars.” A council officers’ report tabled at the meeting stated federal and state government funding for the stadium revamp — $5.2 million and $2.5 million respectively — could be in jeopardy if a lease cannot be signed soon. Deadlines to begin the project have already been missed. “As milestones have not been met council is in breach of its funding agreements with the state and federal government.” The association has an existing lease with nine years to run if a new lease is not signed.

Women on water MORE women and girls will get the chance to emulate their sailing heroes next month at the Women on Water coaching regatta, 11-12 November, at Westernport Yacht Club. “Women still face an unlevel playing field when it comes to participation and leadership roles in sport but, through initiatives like this, we’re working to change that,” Carrum MP Sonia Kilkenny said. Women on Water is the largest all female coaching, mentoring and sailing regatta in Australia. This year’s regatta will acknowledge the many female Olympians and elite sailors who will be sharing their enthusiasm and commitment to sailing. Details: westernport.org.au.

A MAN wielding a chainsaw cut down the door of a unit behind the former Ambassador motel and then cut up a TV set inside last week. It is believed the incident followed an argument – then a fist-fight – between two men outside Officeworks on Nepean Highway, Frankston, 8pm, Monday 16 October. A dispute between the two men is believed to have been going on for weeks. The men live at the units but no one was at home when the chainsaw TV “massacre” was taking place. Hearing the roar of the chainsaw, the frightened sister of a resident called 000. Detective Senior Constable Shane Smith, of Frankston police, said a 30-year-old man was arrested after a “full doorknock of all units”. He said police would allege the chainsaw was still in the man’s possession when he was arrested. “It was a bit of a giveaway,” he said. Details of the incident are described as “sketchy” because neither party – nor other residents – are actively assisting police in their investigation, Detective Smith said. “It is amazing there were so many people there but no one saw or heard anything.” Damage is estimated at $200. A man faced Frankston Magistrates’ Court, Tuesday, charged with burglary, criminal damage and possessing a dangerous article. He was further remanded to reappear at the same court, Wednesday 25 October.

Car windows smashed

A MAN was arrested last week after allegedly using a brick to smash his way into cars parked at Frankston Hospital. Police will allege the former Frankston man, now living in Horsham, damaged up to six cars owned by staff and patients.

Detective Acting Sergeant Craig Goudy, of Frankston CIU, said the damage to cars occurred in the car park, off Hastings Rd, midnight, Tuesday 17 October. CCTV footage showed a man walking through the carpark and “trying” door handles at various buildings and pressing car park pay machine buzzers. A man, 39, was remanded in custody to appear Friday 27 October at Frankston Magistrates’ Court charged with theft and attempted theft from motor vehicles and criminal damage.

Youths threated

TWO 17-year-olds walking to the bus in Sutton St, Chelsea Heights last week, were robbed by a large man brandishing a tyre iron. The 195cm tall man, described as having dark skin and black crinkly hair, was standing behind his car. When the boys, from Mordialloc, approached he opened the boot and brought out the tyre iron and demanded their belongings. The victim gave the man $5 but he also took his iPhone valued at $200. Anyone with information is urged to call Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Cashman, of Moorabbin police, 9556 6111.

Unwelcome visitor

A 16-YEAR-OLD Chelsea Heights boy at home alone got a fright when he walked into a room to find a bare-chested man sitting at his computer. The offender, who may have entered through a side door of the Seccull Drive home, made a comment and then handed over the boy’s iPad and walked out. He is described as Caucasian, 175cm tall, brown hair, trimmed beard, and wearing black tracksuit pants. He was hairy chested.

Another lap for swim directors Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au TWO out of five board members of a company set up by Frankston Council that manages two aquatic centres have been reappointed for three years by councillors. Peninsula Leisure Pty Ltd directors Roseanne Healy and Philip Johnson will now serve on the company board until at least 31 October 2020. Councillors made the decision in private, since it is effectively a staffing matter, after last Monday evening’s public council meeting on 16 October. Frankston Council acting CEO Tim Frederico said there is no change to board members’ remuneration. The Times reported in June that Peninsula Leisure chair Roseanne Healy is paid $33,185 and four directors sitting on the board are paid $20,741 annually (“Board pay revealed by council”, The Times 12/6/17). Mr Frederico said in a statement last week: “The process for future appointments will be discussed between the board chair and council next year.” Councillors will decide whether to reappoint board members Barbara Crook, David Shilbury and Simon Allatson next October when existing contracts end. The acting council CEO said all directors except Mr Johnson, also chief financial officer at South East Water, were initially appointed to the Peninsula

Swimming cancelled: A plumbing malfunction means pools at the Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre are closed. Pic: Gary Sissons

Pools closed at PARC A PLUMBING problem has forced the shutdown of pools at the Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre until the end of the month. The PARC learn-to-swim pool, aquatic playground and 50-metre pool were closed on Thursday 12 October due to “a critical malfunction in the plumbing system,” Peninsula Leisure CEO Tim Gledhill said. “While damage assessments con-

tinue at PARC, Peninsula Leisure has brought forward the summer opening of The Pines Forest Aquatic Centre,” Mr Gledhill said. “The early assessment at PARC was that the pools could be operational again by 27 October, but pending expert advice the required works are likely to take a fortnight to complete.” Peninsula Leisure Ltd, a Frankston Council-owned company, has decid-

ed to open The Pines Forest Aquatic Centre immediately instead of its usual annual opening date of 1 November ahead of the summer season. Mr Gledhill said The Pines swimming pool can be used by PARC members. Other PARC activities such as the gym and wellness centre are still open to visitors while the pools are closed. Neil Walker

Leisure board two years ago “following a public advertising and interview process”. “Mr Johnson was appointed following a targeted selection and evaluation process,” Mr Frederico said. Peninsula Leisure, a wholly owned subsidiary of Frankston Council, operates PARC and the Pines Forest Aquatic Centre in Frankston North. The mayor at council, currently Cr Brian Cunial until next month, sits on the company board as a non-voting member during 12-month mayoral terms. No extra remuneration is paid in addition to the mayor’s pay of just over $92,000 a year. A majority of Frankston councillors voted in May to instruct Peninsula Leisure “not to enter into or tender for projects outside of their core obligation, that being the management of PARC and the Pines Pool”. The Times revealed before the councillors’ vote that Peninsula Leisure was interested in possibly taking over management of sports and leisure centres on the Mornington Peninsula. Mornington Peninsula Shire council announced last month that five sports and leisure centres — the Pelican Park Recreation Centre in Hastings, Mornington’s Civic Reserve Recreation Centre, the Somerville Health & Fitness Studio, Crib Point Pool and Western Port Gymnastics at the Hastings Hub — will be managed by private operator Belgravia Leisure from 29 October.

More Wood for the trees: Tahnee, left, 3-week-old Lorne, 2-year-old Fraser and Andrew Wood celebrate the birth of Lorne at Montague Park last week. Picture: Gary Sissons

No growing pains for newborn trees A TREE planting project is taking root in Montague Park to celebrate Frankston’s newest and youngest arrivals. The Birth Tree Project, implemented by Rotary Peninsula 2.0 and Frankston Council in 2015, sees a tree planted each year at the Kars St public park to celebrate births at Frankston Hospital. Families can pay $50 to have the latest addition to the family named on a plaque unveiled at the end of each year naming newborn babies. All proceeds are donated to Peninsula Health to help babies and families in the Frankston area. The Wood family added a second name to the Birth Tree Project last week, registering young

son Lorne for this year’s birth roll call alongside elder son Fraser born in 2015. “The community project provides a lifetime connection to the children and community,” Rotary Peninsula 2.0 project member Gill Casey said. “People love coming to the park and showing children then name on the plaque. It’s also a wonderful gift alternative for families, grandparents and friends to celebrate the arrival of a newborn.” Families interested in adding newborn names to this year’s plaque can contact Peninsula Rotary 2.0 at rotatypeninsula.org/birth-tree online or by calling 0414 450 946.

‘Light hearted’ look at polio AUTHOR Fran Henke realised the need for a book outlining the latest expert advice for polio survivors after attending a conference in Sydney last year. “Experts from around the world were speaking on the main areas of concern for us and I wanted to get that new information to the often isolated people who need it most,” Mrs Henke said. “The exchange of ideas on management for polio survivors in the second round of the fight with the polio virus has proved vital in the absence of wide understanding of post-polio syndrome in the medical profession.” Mrs Henke, of Hastings, says publication of the book Life Skills for Polios – a light hearted handbook was only made possible with donations of more than $4000 from Mornington Peninsula-based service clubs. She said money from sales of the book will go towards this month’s Polio Day, which has the theme Your Mind Matters.

“The issue of mental health for polio survivors, still dealing with childhood traumas and often cruel treatment, has been neglected,” Mrs Henke said. Speakers at Polio Day on 21 October in Bendigo, will include psychologists on dealing with chronic and degenerative illness, ageing successfully with a long term disability and mindfulness. Mrs Henke, a polio survivour, compiled and illustrated the book with the themes of home, body and mind – covering downsizing, tips for managing the kitchen and laundry in a wheelchair, plus “the big topics” of pain, fatigue, exercise and “coping with past tough treatment in the face of new symptoms”. Life Skills for Polios – a light hearted handbook is available from flyingponypress@ gmail.com for $15 plus $7. An ebook version is planned.

College plans for jobs of the future DO not reply to “alerts” like this.

Scammer alert COMPUTER users are being advised to watch out for scammers who call to say that “some issues with your computer” mean they must have access. Computer repairer pcplanIT, of Diane St, Mornington, warns that the caller usually claims to be from Telstra but might also say the Australian Taxation Office, or a big company. “We have already had four computers in for servicing after a phone scammer gained access,” the company’s Richard Okill said. “The best solution in these cases is for a full back-up and reinstallation of Windows to make sure there are no traces of any keylogging software.” He gives these tips: n Never let anyone – other than a trusted source – access your phone, laptop, tablet, or desktop computer. n Never believe any message that might appear on your screen asking you to call an organisation. n Never give personal, credit card or online account details over the phone unless you made the call or it came from a trusted source. n Never give a caller remote access to your computer. n If someone has gained access to a device contact a trusted computer repairer. n If you think you may have given bank account or credit card details to a scammer, tell the bank or financial institution.

TOORAK College, Mt Eliza, will next year begin building a new science and technology centre where its students can learn the skills needed for Australia’s fastest growing industries. Over the next decade the school believes 75 per cent of jobs will require skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), despite enrolment in these subjects declining across Australia. “Currently, females are significantly underrepresented in STEM careers and make up only 16 per cent of STEM qualified professionals,” Toorak College Principal Kristy Kendall says. “Only one in four IT graduates and fewer than one in 10 engineering graduates are women.” Ms Kendall says the college’s planned science and technology centre – “the largest capital project in the school’s 143 year history” - will equip students with skills and knowledge for a “lifetime” of STEM learning. “The STEM field is continuing to grow and we are seeing more and more careers that are dependent on science and technology, but many young girls don’t consider STEM subjects in their VCE and employment paths.” Ms Kendall said. “We want to change this and see this project as an essential investment into the future of our students and the future of many generations to come.” Ms Kendall says the college has worked with educators, industry professionals, and architects to design a building “that is at the forefront of education”. “It will mimic real life working environments to foster creative, collaborative and engaging learning.”

Not a cloister in sight: An artist’s impression of the science and technology centre planned for Toorak College.

Dr Georgina Such, a former Toorak College graduate and current senior research fellow in Melbourne University’s chemical and bimolecular engineering department says STEM education is about “being creative, thinking laterally and solving problems”.

“It is really important for students that they are exposed to STEM concepts and terminology from a young age so they can better understand what is going on in the world,” she said. The science and technology centre build will have six biology, physics and

chemistry “super labs”; a zone for coding and engineering; open learning and university-style lecture areas; an “entrepreneur pop-up space”; collaborative “learning spaces and breakout zones”; and an outside science courtyard and laboratory.

ON THE COVER

A LOVING RESTORATION CIRCA 1887-1888, this stately home was built by James Raeburn Petrie in what was known as the Frankston Railway Estate. This detached Italianate-style villa is a highly intact example of late nineteenth century Victorian architecture, lovingly restored room by room over thirteen years. Respecting the historical significance of the home, professional interior decorators and specialist trades were used during the restoration period to ensure that the modernisation of the home was in keeping with its architectural period and from the first moments you arrive there is that tingling expectation and excitement that you are about to encounter something truly special with so much to admire and enjoy before you even enter the home. From the elaborate front gardens, the magnificent bullnose verandah with traditional iron lacework and huge leadlight entrance door, the entire faĂ§ade exudes grandeur. A hallmark of Victorian era homes are the two grand bedrooms at the front of the home that both feature cast iron fireplaces and tall dark timber robes. The master bedroom is set apart by twin robes that flank the fireplace, and a large window that frames the lush outlook to the magnolias that line the driveway. The central hallway also leads past a formal living room and into the wonderful kitchen and dining area that seamlessly blends old world charm with modern convenience. Rich in warmth and character with timber ceilings and exposed brick walls the kitchen features granite bench tops with built-in drain board, eye-catching cream cabinets with brass knob handles and a sleek Asko dishwasher. A covered patio off the meals area provides a private space for alfresco entertaining, with the original Victorian brick dome water tank complete with iron hand pump a uniquely handsome garden feature. Every period detail we love about Victorian era homes are here to enjoy, and all are styled in keeping with the vintage theme. The refurbished bathroom has cream tiling and burgundy trim, there is a sensational claw foot bath with rose shower head, and even the external laundry has been comprehensively appointed. Offered for sale for the first time in 27 years this home is a rare opportunity to purchase a piece of Frankstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. n

SMALL BUSINESSES SETTING THE TRENDS DESPITE mixed economic conditions due to exchange rate uncertainty, stock market volatility, and some market surprises, business confidence in Australia generally improved over the past 12 months, benefiting commercial and industrial property markets. The findings, released by Nichols Crowder Carrum Downs in their 2016-17 market report, show other factors spurring confidence among investors and property buyers were record low interest rates, a relatively low unemployment rate, and continued growth in the use of self managed super funds to invest in property markets. Demand from small business also increased for smaller warehouse properties to cater to both traditional and digital businesses, a surprising trend that saw almost three-quarters of all Nichols Crowder sales for the 20162017 period relate to buildings under 250 square metres. Michael Crowder, believes recent commercial and industrial property trends will continue over into 2017-2018. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2016 and 2017, we saw interest rates remaining low, with demand for smaller warehouses being a key market driver. With interest rates likely to stay close to historically low levels over the next 12 months, and with developers offering smaller and more affordable warehouses, we expect to see more buyers entering the market and securing these types of properties,â&#x20AC;? Mr Crowder says.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Day I nearly Answered One Of Mankind’s Greatest Questions By Stuart McCullough OMG. Wait - scrap that. Make that double OMG with a gold plated cherry on top because the one thing I thought would never happen to me has, finally, happened. When something this huge, this important, this freakishly humungous occurs, it’s vital to take stock for a moment and get my head ever so slightly together. For this is the week when it all changes. Things that I thought were merely the stuff of myth have proved themselves to be all too real. Even now, I can barely believe it. For there I was, minding my own business, when I saw a chicken cross the road. I was driving into Bendigo, speaking to my wife on the hands-free, when I saw it. Stepping out into four lanes of traffic was a brown speckled hen. Truth be told, it wasn’t so much as ‘crossing the road’ as it was stepping into the path of on-coming traffic. It must have been distracted because it didn’t so much as glance upwards as I hurtled in its general direction. Presumably the poor, wandering bird had it’s iPod plugged in, listening to the latest release by its preferred deathmetal band. Nothing else could possibly explain its zombie-like march to oblivion. Luckily for the hapless hen, my reflexes were – if not razor sharp, then not yet entirely blunted – and I took evasive action. As the car veered to the right, the chicken took another step forward. Even as I was doing my utmost to prevent a catastrophe, the creature seemed determined to press on. I can’t be sure what I said, but I’m sure I expressed surprise with a vocabulary more suited to a sailor as I

PAGE 22

glanced up in my rear view to see the chicken continue on its merry way. After explaining that the expletive I had just uttered at a window-rattling volume was not, in fact, directed at my wife, I began to think about the close encounter I’d just experienced. I’ll admit it – I was thrown and a little shaken. It was perhaps because I felt so discombobulated that I failed to have the presence of mind to seize what, in effect, was a once in a lifetime opportunity. For years, humankind has yearned to know the answer to the question; ‘why did the chicken cross the road?’ Here I was, handed the chance to solve one of the Universe’s

Frankston Times 23 October 2017

most enduring and impenetrable mysteries, and I let it fly/walk straight past me. In an ideal world, I would have slammed on the brakes, performed a u-bolt and taken off in pursuit of the jaywalking chook. Had I thought to turn the car around, I’m positive that I’d have leapt from my still-moving vehicle and seized the pilgrim poultry by its shoulders (if, indeed, it had shoulders to seize) and would have demanded to know not only why it had crossed the road but, perhaps more importantly, why it had failed to use the pedestrian crossing a mere fifteen feet away. It was as though it’d given no thought whatso-

ever to issues of safety. Not only had it ignored the crossing, it had no helmet, no fluorescent vest. Nothing. As these thoughts cascaded through my mind, I became completely disoriented and needed to pull over. After gathering my wits (who, frankly, were resistant – I found a couple of them hiding in the sleeve behind my seat along with an old Melways and a piece of unused chewing gum), I realized I had to go back the way I’d just come. As I turned around, it occurred to me that I was heading right back to the spot where I’d had the close encounter with a chicken. Maybe this time I’d get the answers I was desperate for.

The chicken, however, had flown the coop and was nowhere to be seen. At first I was mystified. But on reflection, it all makes sense. Whereas I saw it as a second chance, it’s quite possible that the chicken thought I’d returned to have another go. Doubtless, as my vehicle reappeared over the horizon, the hen went into ‘fight or flight’ and took off in fear for its safety. Which, given it’d just stepped onto a major road without looking is somewhat ironic. Whereas I’d seen it as a shot at redemption, I fear the chicken saw me as trying to wipe it out. Chances are, the chicken was hiding behind a shrub as I drove past for the second time. It goes to show, I think, that there are no easy answers. Even when you’re confronted with something that you’d hitherto only ever read about, perhaps it’s better just to observe than to truly understand. It was such a fleeting moment. One I feel that will never be repeated. Best, then, to simply appreciate it for what it was. I may not know why the chicken crossed the road, but I do know both where it crossed and what it was wearing. And that should be enough for anyone. Later that evening, I checked into the motel before heading to the bistro. As I waited for my chicken parmigiana to arrive, I reflected on the day’s events. Then I heard a noise. Glancing up, I saw a brown chicken leaning against the bar, regaling a small crowd about its recent brush with death. I wanted to go and say hello, to apologise or maybe even explain why I’d almost run it over. But I simply couldn’t bring myself to do so. I was, I suspect, too chicken. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Usually dominant Baxter looks shaky PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully BAXTER is outside of the MPCA Provincial top four for the first time in a long time after losing its second straight match on Saturday against Pearcedale. Baxter has been the dominant side in the competition for more than a decade but its start to the 2017-18 season has been shaky. It appears that if Chris Brittain or Daniel Warwick don’t make a score, Baxter cannot win. On Saturday it went into the match without opener Joe Rule, one player who has been holding up his end of the bargain. The middle order is really letting Baxter down right now and needs some improvement. Baxter is also suited better to the long form of the game and starting the season with three one-dayers may not have been the ideal fixture. Baxter sent Pearcedale into bat on Saturday and it was Brad Trotter (53) and Chris Dew (78) who got the home team off to a flyer. The pair opened with 140. The Panthers then lost 10/45 and the score looked competitive enough. Dale Irving was the best of the Baxter bowl-

ers with 3/24 from 5.3 overs. Brittain and Warwick opened the batting but made just 20 and 11 respectively and were parted with the score on 20. Travis Sawers was solid with 62 and Justin Bridgeman made 39, however, the tight bowling of the Panthers saw Baxter fall four runs shot, eight wickets down. Sam Frawley played his best game for some time, picking up 3/44 while Dew took 3/58. Crib Point remains on the bottom of the ladder with no wins from its opening three games after being thrashed by Mornington. Mornington was sent into bat and made 5/163, Brad McDonald top scoring with 46 and Brad Wilson providing outstanding support with 44. In the chase, at one stage Crib Point was 4/17 and again were 8/62, before Mark Cairns (26) and Andrew Sharp (21) added some respectability. Matt Foon was outstanding with the ball for the Doggies, picking up 3/14 from eight overs. Langwarrin is in third place on the ladder after knocking over Sorrento at David McFarlane Reserve. The Sharks batted first and were restricted to 9/127. Corey Harris top scored with 26. Jake Prosser was the best of the Kan-

gas’ bowlers with 3/25, while Matt Campbell and Adam Campbell snared two wickets each. There were six brothers who represented the Kangas on the weekend, Travis, Adam and Matt Campbell, as well as Jake, Matt and Sam Prosser. In reply, the visitors cruised to victory four wickets down and with four overs to spare after Matt Prosser opened with 49 and Andy Johnson scored 39. Peninsula Old Boys remain the only undefeated team in the competition after beating Mt Eliza. The Old Boys batted first and made a modest 7/133, despite 54 runs from Dylan O’Malley. In reply, Mt Eliza fell short by three runs after losing their final wicket on the second last ball of the day. At one stage the Mounties were 5/49. James LaBrooy was the pick of the bowlers with 3/28.

ter, went to work. In just his second game back and after scoring a half-century last week, he backed it up with 122 on Saturday. Michael Holmes opened with him and made 57 in the pair’s opening stand of 100. Gareth Wyatt was the next best with 19. The Parker’s Ricky Ramsdale was the pick of the bowlers with 3/28. In reply, the visitors were never in the game, losing their first three wickets for just 18, including Ramsdale, Nick Christides and Jon Guthrie. Oliver McEnroe was the best of the

Ridge bowlers with 3/41, while Luke Collins picked up 2-15. Long Island is the only other undefeated team in Peninsula after beating Pines. Pines batted first and hit 3/17 before Harley Peace-Stirling (75) and Nick Wilcox (52) got things going. However, there was no wag in the tail and the visitors were restricted to 9/159. James Paxton was outstanding with the ball for the Islanders with 4/35. In reply, the home side passed the target six wickets down with an over the spare.

Main Ridge maintain edge on rivals PENINSULA

By IT Gully MAIN Ridge remains the dominant force in MPCA Peninsula after making light work of Delacombe Park in round three on Saturday. But whilst the Ridge opened the season with three straight wins, last year’s grand finalists, Delacombe, are yet to win a game. Main Ridge had no hesitation to bat first when it won the toss on Saturday and arguably the best sportsman on the peninsula right now, Shaun Fos-

Hastings winless early DISTRICT

By IT Gully HASTINGS is the only side in MPCA District without a win this season after losing to Mt Martha on Saturday. The Blues have had a tough start to the year in its opening three one-day games and Saturday was no easier. Winning the toss and batting first, the Blues made 8/129 from its 40 overs. Rob Hearn top scored with 35 and opening partner Nathan Hunt contributed 27. Sean Hewitt then made 24, however, losing 4/17 in the middle order cost the visitors. Steve O’Neill was the best of the bowlers for the Reds with 3/34. In reply, although shaky, Mt Martha got there in the end, eight wickets down and with one over to spare. Mitchel Darville was the backbone of the innings with an unbeaten 43, while Max McKenzie played a game-saving innings with an unbeaten 20. The Reds were in real trouble

at 8/86 before McKenzie walked to the crease. Baden Powell remains the only undefeated side in the competition after a solid victory against Heatherhill. The Braves were sent in to bat and made 9/152 from its allotted overs, skipper Craig Entwhistle top scoring with 35 and Rhys Elmi contributing 31. Brett Maxwell was the best of the Hills’ bowlers with 3/30 from eight overs. In reply, the Hills were never in the hunt, despite 32 runs from Kristian Miller. They were bowled out in the 38th over. Elmi backed-up his batting performance with some magic with the ball, snaring 4/19 from 7.2 overs, while Michael Ballard picked-up 3/20. Rosebud won a cliffhanger against Seaford Tigers, winning by just one run. The Tigers didn’t look like they did enough after being bowled out

for 126 in the 39th over. Billy Quigley took 3/29 for the Buds while Anthony Joel top scored with 28 for the Tigers. In reply, the Buds were in strife at 3/17, however, 61 unbeaten runs from Jason Mathers and 45 from Pat Nagel helped the scored to 4/104. The Buds then lost 4/11 before Mathers got his side over the line in the final over, finishing at 8/127. Rye is in the top four after knocking over Seaford. The Demons batted first and it was Andrew Hitchener (35) and skipper Matt Whelan (61no) who helped the home team to 6/150. The Demons’ bowlers then got to work and restricted the visitors to 8/144 from 40 overs. Whelan backed up his match-winning batting performance with 2/13 from eight overs with the ball.

Ouch: Hastings copped a loss at the bowling hands of Mt Martha. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Edirisinghe Pubudu top scored with 78 while Michael Burke contributed 27. Pat Jackson was Pines’ best bowler, taking 4/28 from eight overs. Somerville lost its first game of the season against Flinders, who won their opening game of the year. Flinders batted first on their home deck and made 8/171. Many players got starts with Max Royal top scoring with 33 and Mason Mail scoring 32. Blake Terlaak was the pick of the Somerville bowlers with 4/38. In reply, the Eagles were rolled for

just 139. When Jayde Herrick was bowled by Matt Burns for 12, the Eagles were in trouble at 4/23. Burns ended up with 4/15 from his eight overs, including a valuable two maidens. Red Hill is now comfortable in third position after smashing Moorooduc, who remain winless. The Hillmen batted first and skipper Simon Dart top scored with 69, while Tom Collett was solid with 46 off 40 balls, helping his side to 8/194. In reply, the Ducs were rolled for 106, Rhys Hewitt the best of the Hillmen bowlers with 4/20 from six overs.

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard

Winning Saints stay at the top By IT Gully BALNARRING remains at the top of the MPCA Sub District table after recording another easy victory on Saturday, this time against Boneo. Both sides went into the clash undefeated but it was no contest on Saturday. The Saints batted first and made a handy 8/187, Mark Walles top scoring with 65 and Pete Mereszko opening with 33 and Mitch Kleinig adding a valuable 28 at the end. The Pandas used seven bowlers. In reply, Boneo lost 4/15 to be in early trouble. They never recovered, despite 34 runs from Ryan Jellie, eventually bowled out for just 83. Ben King again did the damage with the ball for the Saints, picking up 3/12 from 5.3 overs, while Kleinig added 2/33 to his run tally. Tyabb remains winless, beaten comfortably by Carrum Downs, who moved to third place on the ladder. The Cougars batted first and made 197, thanks largely to skipper Ryan Lynch, who scored 53 and Nathan Lynch, who hit 37. Nick Bradley was the best of Tyabb’s bowlers with 3/34. In the chase, the Yabbies started well with Nick Taranto scoring 46 and James HollandBurch 31, while Matt Dimkos scored 29. However, David Dervan snared 3/18 off 7.3 overs and Ryan Lynch took 3/28 to roll the Yabbies for 156 in the 36th over. Skye is also winless after three games, beat-

en by Carrum. The Lions batted first and made a strong total of 6/211, Zach Dent scoring 63, Josh Dent 56 and Dale O’Neil 36. In reply, Skye skipper Anthony Craddock did all that he could with 57 and Pat Beckham contributed 38, however, it wasn’t enough. The visitors were restricted to 8/155 from its 40 overs. Stirling Hollingsworth was the pick of the Carrum bowlers with 3/21 from eight overs. Dromana shot to second place on the ladder after beating Frankston YCW. Dromana sent YCW into bat first and they made a competitive 7/146. Dromana skipper Jack Fowler was the pick of the bowlers with 3/38. In reply, Jedd Savage scored 51 and Blake Pappas 42 for the Hoppers to steer their side to victory with five overs and seven wickets in hand. Tootgarook won its first game of the season, knocking over the previously undefeated Ballam Park. The Tooters were sent in to bat and made a very modest 123 in just 36.1 overs. Scott Sterling top scored with 44. However, the Frogs’ bowler were able to defend the low total, rolling the Knights for just 76 in 33.2 overs. Jacob Long was the best of the Tootgarook bowlers with 3/10 from six overs, including three maidens, while Adam Taylor snared 2/10, Corey DeBruyn 2/13 and Stephen Brain 2/27.

Marathon effort: Luke Raymond at the end of this year’s Melbourne Marathon and achieving another major step towards reaching his personal best in fundraising for the Alannah & Madeline Foundation.

Runner reaches early goal EARLIER this year Luke Raymond set himself the goal of running 2017 kilometres in 2017 to raise money for children impacted by violence and bullying. The Langwarrin man achieved his massive mission on September 30, cracking 2017km on a training run and exceeding his $5000 fundraising goal for the Alannah & Madeline Foundation. Training through the dark, cold and wet of winter, Raymond took part in Run for the Kids, Run Melbourne and the Melbourne Marathon as part of achieving his personal challenge. “When you break it down, the distance seems possible,” he said. “It equates to 38 kilometres every week and 168 kilometres every month.” Despite reaching his running goal and

CJ Hodgson says he’s a Pines boy for life SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines’ jack-of-alltrades CJ Hodgson has declared his allegiance to the Monterey Reserve club. “I’ll be there as long as my parents are involved so I think I’ll be playing at Pines for the rest of my career,” the 24-year-old said. He’s had more seasons at Pines than any other senior player and he’s also the club’s most versatile performer having played at right back, wide midfield, centre midfield, striker and he’s even worn the goalkeeper’s gloves. His career kicked off at under-6 level at Langwarrin and he made his reserves debut under then-coach Jamie Skelly as a 15-year-old in 2009. Opportunities to play senior soccer forced his hand and he switched to Pines for the following season. Tommy O’Halloran gave the 16-year-old his senior debut against Knox in 2010 but Pines’ slide down the leagues continued. At the end of another unsuccessful season Pines’ fortunes changed when Hodgson’s parents took on the onerous task of reviving the faltering club, dad Gary becoming president and mum Pip becoming treasurer. That’s when the unheralded Danny Verdun arrived as senior coach and transformed the team. “Danny’s probably my favourite coach because of his passion and the way he pushes you to be your best,” Hodgson said. That’s not taking anything away from current Pines supremo Paul Williams. “Paul’s young and he’s still learning and I think that he’ll be a very, very good coach.” Hodgson’s loyalty to Pines has only been tested twice, once at the end of the 2015 season when he was lured by Mornington gaffer Adam Jamieson to Dallas Brooks Park for pre-season training only to change his mind and rejoin Pines for the start of the 2016 season. “Being at Mornington was awesome and they won the league that year and we got relegated but in the end, family means everything to me and that’s why I went back to Pines.” Late last year Hodgson once more was lured away from Monterey Reserve this time by Casey Comets head coach Skelly but transferred back to Pines midway through the 2017 season.

His stint with Comets was marred by an ankle injury that required surgery and it wasn’t until round five of the season that he was able to join the senior matchday squad. “I’ve known Jamie for a while now and I have a lot of respect for him. “He’s awesome as a coach but I had to go back to Pines and I won’t move on anymore. “I don’t think there would be a club without my parents and Stevie (Spencer) and I want to pay my respects to them for what they did and what they are still doing.” Hodgson can’t think of any better way to pay back the club mainstays than by winning promotion next year, a feat he feels is within the grasp of the senior squad. “Now we’ve all played together for a couple of years and if we can bring in a couple of experienced players I think we’ll be pushing towards the top end of the table rather than down near the bottom. “I think the future of Pines is bright, to be honest. “Things are starting to happen around the club with the new change rooms and other stuff that I can’t really talk about at the moment. “We’ve now got more people wanting to be involved and bringing in some of the Mauritian community

has been good for Pines. “I know that Chris (L’Enclume) and Cedric (Permal) want to come back next year and we have other Mauritians helping out around the club. “I think we can have a big year next year and I think we can get promoted.” One of the challenges facing Pines in 2018 is getting the better of former coach Verdun who won this year’s State 3 South-East title with a Knox City side featuring many exPines players. “It’s pretty much going to be Frankston Pines new boys versus Frankston Pines old boys. “It’s going to be a tough game but I know that our boys will be looking forward to it and I know there will be a lot of banter around it but when it comes down to the game it will be full on.” In other news, Southern United has appointed Aaron Myatt as senior coach while this year’s championship winning under-13s coaches Debbie Nichols and Emma Bracken are in charge of the under-14s. Myatt has just returned from a fortnight in Japan where he spent time at J-League giant Gamba Osaka studying the club’s player development cycles and its football philosophy.

Myatt was assistant coach of Southern’s Grand Final-winning under-15s in 2016 and was head coach of the under-15s this year. “Aaron has a fantastic rapport with players of all ages and he has shown strong development skills as a coach and is a great club man. He is the right fit for our club,” president Theresa Deas said. Southern is expected to announce the appointment of coaches for its under-16 and under-19 squads this week. FFV last week confirmed the structure of its NPL junior leagues for the 2018 season and Langwarrin’s debut in the elite competition will feature clashes with A-League giant Melbourne City at under-15 and under-18 levels. The junior NPL from under-12 to under-18 levels is broken into two leagues, east and west, and Langy finds itself in exalted company. The 18-team junior east league consists of Bentleigh Greens, Box Hill United, Dandenong City, Dandenong Thunder, Eastern Lions, FC Bulleen, Goulburn Valley Suns, Heidelberg United, Kingston City, Langwarrin, Melbourne City, Murray United, Northcote City, Nunawading City, Oakleigh Cannons, Port Melbourne, South Melbourne and Springvale White

Eagles. Murray United’s home ground is at Latrobe University’s AlburyWodonga campus and the eighthour round trip is one of Langy’s most challenging fixtures and may involve an overnight stay. It is the longest road trip in Victorian soccer. Langy hopes to finalise its under-12 through under-16 squads next week while the under-18 and under-20 trials kick off this week. Due to council work on Lawton Park some trials have been held at Baxter Park and this week’s trials also will be held there. “Baxter have really helped us out and I’d like to thank them particularly young Billy McLeod who’s been brilliant,” Langwarrin technical director Stephen Fisher said. The response to the trials has been excellent with 53 under-12 trialists, 54 under-13s, 46 under-14s, 57 under-15s and 38 under-16 trialists. Expressions of interest closed last Friday and there were over 100 trialists registered for the under-18s and under-20s. Meanwhile Skye United boss Billy Armour hopes to sign “five or six” new players for next season. The former central defender was tight-lipped as usual when pressed about their identities but they are all from the local area. Skye’s first ever player import, wide midfielder Jacob ScotteHatherly, is due to return to England in early December. Scotte-Hatherly was identified through player agency Soccer Smart Ltd and proved to be an astute signing. “Jacob is a very skilful player and a quality young man and although he’ll be a big loss we’ve decided that we’ll only go back to Soccer Smart if we can’t get what we want on the local market,” said Armour. Somerville held its annual presentation night recently and Patrick Acha won the under-21 best and fairest award, Liam McLoughlin won the men’s most improved and Rachael Dekker was the women’s most improved player. Matt Swanson was named senior players’ player of the year and the reserves players’ player of the year was Latham Horvath. The women’s players’ player of the year was Jayde Johnson and Liv Hamilton won the women’s coaches’ award. The senior men’s coaches’ award went to Joel Wade while Ryan Francis took out the reserves coaches’ award.

Kennedy called up for Carlton By Ben Triandafillou AFTER just her third season of football, 18-year-old Bridie Kennedy, of Dromana has been drafted to Carlton for the 2018 AFLW season. A standout player through both her talent and a pink ribbon she wears, the Year 12 Padua College student was selected to join the Blues at pick number 36 last Wednesday 18 October. Kennedy was interviewed by all four of the Victorian sides in the leadup to the draft but said she didn’t really expect to be picked up by Carlton. “I had no idea who I would get drafted to,” she said. “It came down to who actually wanted me and I was lucky enough to be one of Carlton’s picks.” While Kennedy celebrated with her parents and grandparents, there was just as much excitement built up at school with her friends eagerly watching on through a live broadcast.

“It was so amazing to see my friends support me and watch the draft,” Kennedy said. “It would have been a long wait for them but they are such a supportive group.” Having played “all over the shop” since starting out three years ago, Kennedy is likely to play as a running back liner for the Blues. “I started out as a ruckman but now I’m pretty small compared to some of the other girls,” she said. “I’ve been forward and played this year in the back line but hopefully I can be more of a running back liner for Carlton as I love to run.” Originally a representative basketball player for the Southern Peninsula Sharks, Kennedy switched codes in late 2014 when persuaded by a friend to give football a go. Kennedy joined the Dromana youth girls’ team and played representative football with the Dandenong Sting-

rays before making her way into the VFL Women’s this season playing for Cranbourne. Kennedy showed her athleticism at the AFLW Draft Combine two weeks ago where she undertook several fitness tests which included vertical jumps, sprinting, agility, 2km time trials and a yo-yo test (similar to a beep test). She was a stand-out there and was able to top both the 2km time trial and the Yo-Yo Test. “I was over the moon to be on the top for the two of them,” she said. Kennedy, whose VCE exams are rapidly nearing, has had a full plate over the last few months concentrating on both school and the draft but said the stress had now eased. “It’s been hard juggling both but I’m glad footy is now confirmed so I can focus on school and go back to footy afterwards,” she said.

Peninsula boxers continue successful run By Ben Triandafillou PENINSULA Boxing has continued their successful run ago with their boxers dominating their fights on back-to-back days. The gym was represented by professional boxers, Lochie ‘Bubba’ Higgins and Jai ‘El Fuego’ Alexander, at the Melbourne Pavilion on Friday 13 October before another four boxers competed at the Peninsula Boxing Cup the next day. Friday the 13th can be unlucky for some but both Higgins and Alexander continued their streak and defended their undefeated status. Alexander stopped his opponent in the first round and bought up his fifth victory in just 26 seconds. While, Higgins matched his stablemate with a technical knock-out in the third round, bringing up his third career win. Sitting in his corner was younger brother, Rueben Higgins, who was set to make his boxing debut the following day. The second running of the Peninsula Boxing Cup was held at the Mt Eliza Community Hall with around 300 people attending the event. Peninsula Boxing head coach, Marcos Amado, said it was a great day, with a good turnout and quality fights. “Last year ran well but this year improved as far as quality of bouts and the venue itself,” he said. “The venue was better suited with a smaller ring which created better atmosphere. You were

basically right up to the ring.” The gym had four boxers on the day with Jack Gipp headlining in the main event. “Jack is in great form,” Amado said. “He beat his opponent comprehensively and almost won in the second round. “He gave away 4kgs and just took his opponent apart.” Rueben ‘Hurricane’ Higgins made his debut against an experienced fighter but was defeated on decision. “It could have gone either way and to his credit he wants to back it up straight away and is set to fight in Tasmania on the weekend (Saturday 21 October),” Amado said. “When they lose their first fight they can either lose motivation or it can make them more eager, so it’s great to see him want to get back out there.” Father and daughter, Scott and Tyla McDonald, also had fights on the card with Tyla fighting an exhibition match. “Tyla fought a 17-year-old and was able to more than hold her own,” Amado said. “Scott came away with a well-deserved win with both fighters giving it their all.” Scott and Tyla are likely to have another fight this weekend with Scott looking at a Victorian Masters title. “If he wins, it will be the first father and daughter boxers to hold Victorian titles as far as I know, which would be huge,” Amado said.

By Ben Triandafillou THERE are now 10 times more obese children and teenagers in the world compared to 40 years ago – according to a global study of over 200 countries. A proactive healthy step has seen Michele Cavanagh, president of Bonbeach YCW Junior Netball Club, and committee members pledge to take a proactive approach to fostering a healthy culture at the junior netball club. They have recognised that in addition to promoting physical activity, they too have an opportunity to broaden and connect with players to encourage healthy food habits in an attempt to reduce poor lifestyle behaviours and conflicting messages that juniors can face. The first step in trying to improve the healthy culture at the club was to drop the common ‘lollies at halftime or at the end of a game’ mentality often seen at junior sport. As a replacement, fruit will continue to be offered midway through and at the end of games. Another initiative which has been altered by the committee was the ‘chocolate drive’ fundraiser that is held annually which will now be replaced with various other fundraising initiatives such as raffles. Local health coach and ambassador to Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution and That Sugar Film Maddie Race was invited to the club in lateAugust to conduct a one-hour educational healthy eating workshop for players in replacement to their normal training session. “Players were educated on how to read food labels and in particular identifying the amount of sugar in popular kid’s food,” Race said. “We also did a mindful eating exercise and completed a simple food quiz, where we were able to collect valuable data for the club and individual teams on the current food habits.” As part of the workshops held by Race, families received a digital copy of her ebook Healthy

FRANKSTON Croquet Club held back-to-back events which bought together players of all standards, two weeks ago. A Seniors Day was held on Thursday 12th October with 33 senior players coming to “give it a go”. The next day, Frankston Croquet Club hosted the Frankston Open Doubles Tournament, which was

eating guide, kids playing sport edition to help them understand the impact food choices have on their daily life, mood, performance and recovery. Race said she is passionate about inspiring mums, dads and kids to get back in the kitchen and cook using real ingredients to create healthy meals. “Healthy and thriving sporting communities extend past training and game day. As a society, where childhood obesity is at epidemic rates, we need to take a more proactive approach when it comes to food options presented to children,” she said. “By removing conflicting messages and fostering a positive healthy dialogue to support training and game day as Bonbeach YCW Junior Netball Club is currently undertaking is the positive start that we need. “We are living on way too much processed, convenient food that line supermarket shelves and often deemed ‘healthy’ because of poor labelling laws and hidden salt and sugar. “This food is often cheaper and directly marketed to busy families. This food is often seen at weekend sport canteens and needs to change.”

again successful, drawing a large crowd with players coming from Sandringham and as far away as Lilydale to compete in the tournament. Neil Johnston and Ken Duggan won the tournament with Kay Revell and Ross Bayley coming runners-up. Frankston Times 23 October 2017
