Council accused of not playing ball Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON District Basketball Association have accused Frankston Council of refusing to return $2.5 million to the state government.

The money was pledged by the state government to the expansion of the Frankston Basketball Stadium in Seaford.

Plans to build that stadium fell through after a new lease agreement

could not be reached between council and FDBA, in a saga that saw Dunkley MP Chris Crewther use his parliamentary privilege to take shots at the basketball board. (“Basketball Money on way to park”, The Times, 17/4/2018) Federal funding touted for the Seaford stadium project was diverted towards Jubilee Park works.

FDBA said in a statement on their website that they have been working with Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny to “deliver alternate facilities for basketball located on crown land. Unfortu-

MASSIVE FLOORSTOCK CLEARANCE

nately, this process has been hampered

by Frankston City Council’s refusal to return the $2.5 million back to the state government.”

“This refusal directly undermines the opportunities available to the association to co-fund alternate facilities to the benefit of the 1000s of players, coaches, officials & volunteers connected to the association through their shared passion for the sport of basketball.

“The rationale of council’s refusal is based on council having spent a large

up to

70

proportion of the $2.5million on design & legal costs.”

Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden did not respond to queries from The Times asking if the money had been spent.

Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said that “the state government fully expect the $2.5 million funding for the unsuccessful Frankston Basketball Stadium project to be returned in full, seeing as the project was never started.”

The FDBA statement said that “as advised to Sonya Kilkenny MP, it is the

position of the FDBA that this funding committed to in 2014 be activated for the benefit of basketball in Carrum electorate which was and continues to remain the intention of the funding,” “Due to this issue now escalating with both the state and council engaging legal teams to work through the current impasse, Frankston Basketball encourages you to lend your voice so this much needed funding remains in the seat of Carrum, for the benefit of basketball.”

WHAT IS FRANKSTON’S GREATEST NATURAL ASSET? One million annual visitors to Frankston Beach cannot be wrong in saying:

IT IS THE BEACH!

Frankston beaches are now at risk from a proposed breakwater/ safe boat haven extending way out into the Bay, off landmark Olivers Hill.

Frankston Beach Association - protectors of Frankston’s beaches for the last 35 years - vehemently opposes this proposal.

Beach damage has already occurred around the Bay from other breakwater constructions.

State Environmental Planning documents indicate that Frankston beaches will face ongoing sand loss and other damage.

Significant ongoing and costly reparation works will be inevitable.

The Precautionary Principle in its entirety must be applied to avoid catastrophic effects on Frankston beaches.

DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE. BELIEVE THE SCIENCE!

SAVE FRANKSTON’S ICONIC BEACHES We now face two important government elections over the next six months.

Now is the time to contact State and Federal politicians and endorsed candidates, as well as Frankston Council CEO and Councillors, with your plea to

SAVE OUR BEACHES We encourage you to join us at the Frankston City Council Future Frankston Electoral Forum on 1st November 2018 at 7pm at the Frankston Football Club.

New lease on life for Ambassador site Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A DERELICT site next to the Ambassador Hotel in Frankston is set to finally receive some love.

The site will soon be home to a BP petrol station after Frankston councillors voted to approve the developer’s permit at the 22 October public council meeting.

The site has been unattended since 2016, when the barren function centre that had originally stood there was demolished. Since then, the grass at the site has become overgrown and the surrounding buildings riddled with graffiti.

Councillors said it was not an “ideal” situation, but ultimately gave BP the green light to go ahead.

“They have been flexible and willing to work with council. We should be sending a message that if you are willing to work with council, we will meet you halfway,” Cr Kris Bolam said.

“It’s a barren, post apocalyptic wasteland.

“The present amenity of this site is not desirable at all. I think having a petrol station put into the area, money pumped into that area, beautification works put into that area, I think that is a good thing. It is a far better outcome.”

The land had formerly been owned by the Ambassador Hotel, but the centre that once stood on it had fallen into disrepair.

Council has been told that work on the project will begin as soon as pos-

Big boost for bowls CARRUM Bowls Club has received $200,000 from the state government for the construction of female friendly facilities.

Labor MPs John Eren and Sonya Kilkenny visited the club to announce the funding, which will be drawn from the state government’s 2018-19 Female Friendly Facilities Fund.

The redeveloped pavilion including new female change facilities provides an opportunity for the club to better cater for female competition bowlers as well as training and barefoot bowls.

“Congratulations to Carrum Bowls Club, this boost will go a long way to support the growing number of people in Carrum keen to get involved in local sport and recreation,” Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said.

Mr Eren thanked Frankston City Council and Carrum Bowling Club for their commitment and financial contribution to the project.

Council put in $100,000 to the redevelopment, with the club raising $100,000 of their own.

sible.

Crs Glenn Aitken, Steve Toms, and Quinn McCormack voted against approving the permit.

Cr Aitken said “it’s been a site which has been a long time, quite justifiably, by the public been expected to be something better than what it is. I don’t believe in getting something better than what you had, I believe in getting the best for your

community, I don’t think this is it.”

Cr Toms noted the number of petrol stations already within the municipality, and denied the need for another one.

Council also agreed to install a mural and palm trees on the land, as well as CCTV cameras with coverage across the entire site.

Other projects have previously been touted for the site, but none

have ever come to fruition. It is understood that the land was once going to be used to build an apartment complex. (“Start of the end for The Ambassador”, The Times, 25/1/16) The project is set to get underway within the next two years. If no construction has started on the station within that time frame, the permit will lapse.

Bowled over: Carrum Bowls Club’s 160 members will benefit from new facilities.

“Public support is crucial in assisting Victoria police intervene with criminals and organised crime gangs responsible for the manufacture and supply of these drugs and alleviate the cost to Australian communities.” she said.

“Criminal drug related activity is not only costing millions of dollars in healthcare and law enforcement, but it is tragically and unnecessarily costing human lives.

Thumbs up for shopping expansion A $62 MILLION dollar expansion of Karingal Hub shopping centre has been given the green light by council.

The major redevelopment of the centre is set to introduce more space for retail outlets and restaurants, a “town centre with a community meeting room”, and an additional 762 free car parking spaces.

The centre is managed by ISPT Property, who had their application approved by Frankston Council at the 22 October meeting.

“This is excellent news that our city is attracting investment on this scale which will bring jobs and visitors to our region. The community will really be able to see the benefits of having a wider retail offering, as well as even more dining options on our doorstep,”

Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton said.

“While the shopping may bring in the visitors, the proposed town centre will be a real asset for locals. It aims to provide a community focal point, connecting the entertainment and retail centres.

“Outdoor dining terraces, a new two level restaurant/café and a fenced children’s play area are exciting new additions which will only add to the lifestyle currently on offer in Frankston City.”

Construction on the project is expected to begin within the next two years.

The same meeting in which this development was approved also saw council agree to meet with Bayside Shopping Centre to discuss a way forward that might involve free parking.

Recruiting for the lollipop guild

It’s a sign: A bright electronic advertising board has been erected at Quest Frankston against the wishes of council.

Picture: Gary Sissons

FRANKSTON Council is on the lookout for more than 20 school crossing supervisors to help children get home safely from school.

Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton said that the job would make for an excellent part-time career for applicants of all ages.

“Gone are the days when only retirees looking to top up their pensions are applying for these roles. More and more we are experiencing younger people taking up the opportunities,” he said.

“For many university students, the working hours fit well with their studies, and for stay at home parents the hours are also ideal.”

University student Meghan Horlock has been a school crossing supervisor since mid-2017. She said some of her

The sign was originally rejected by Frankston council in 2016, but a permit was granted after a VCAT hearing.

VicRoads had previously flagged opposition to the sign, stating “the proposed electronic sign compromises the

operational efficiency of the road and poses an unacceptable road safety risk because the sign will create a confusing or dominating background which will reduce the clarity and effectiveness of traffic control devices, the sign could dazzle or distract drivers due to its size, design, colouring or it being illuminated” and “the sign is at a location where particular concentration is required”.

VCAT overturned the decision of council in July 2016. VCAT Senior Member Laurie Hewet said “I have concluded that the sign is acceptable

with respect to this issue. I am also satisfied that the proposal is more broadly acceptable having regard to the relevant planning scheme provisions as they relate to major promotion signs of this type.”

The sign has now been erected on the side of the Quest building.

Frankston mayor Colin Hampton has expressed his frustration at the frequency of council decisions being overturned VCAT. Mr Lamb’s advertisements cycle through other commercial advertisements at 30 seconds at a time.

“It’s just not the case,” Ms Horlock said.

“There are many things I love about my job. My morning and afternoons are filled with smiling faces, the hours are great and I get lots of Christmas cards. It’s an honour that parents entrust me to keep their children safe, and I take that honour very seriously.”

Frankston council says there are currently 81 active school crossings across the municipality, manned by more than 80 supervisors.

Annual General Meeting & Community Forum

Have your say about the future of your local hospital

Assistance below the poverty line: Helpers lend a hand at Frankston’s Anti-Poverty week event Picture: Supplied

The 2018 AGM + Community Forum is an opportunity for everyone on the Peninsula to provide feedback on our services and identify priorities for change.

Putting a stop to poverty COMMUNITY Support Frankston and the Frankston Homelessness Network have joined forces to hold an event commemorating AntiPoverty Week.

The event, held on 18 October, was designed to encourage members of the community to engage with Community Support Frankston’s services.

The non for profit, volunteer based service helps provide people in need with emergency food, grocery vouchers, and help with bills. CSF says they helped 13,000 people last year.

CSF manager Steve Phillips said “close to 3 million Australians are living below the poverty line. It’s important to strengthen the understanding of the causes and consequences of poverty and hardship.”

“The majority of people we see at CSF are living below the poverty line, trying to make ends meet. This is something we all need to address

and work together to reduce.”

The event was held in conjunction with Frankston Council.

“Council recently endorsed support for the Raise the Rate campaign, calling on the Australian Government to raise the rate of newstart, youth allowance and related payments. When there are people still struggling to afford daily basics such as food and a roof over their head, something needs to change,” Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton.

“We need to work together to help reduce poverty and homelessness in our city. I would encourage residents to sign the online Raise the Rate petition.”

For more information on support services provided by Community Support Frankston, visit frankston.net.

Join our Board, senior staff and community members as we celebrate the achievements of the last year, look ahead to our exciting future, and hear feedback from our community.

The man will return to the court on Wednesday 31 October.

WHAT’S NEW...

Having a hit for housing MOONAH Links is set to host an event that will see keen golfers teeing off for an important cause.

Tempo and Global Village Housing have teamed up to host the inaugural 50/50 Golf Challenge, which will aim to raise funds to build houses in Cambodia.

Global Village Housing Cambodia has been working with Tempo to raise funds for the cause for three years, with this being their first Golf Challenge event.

The goal will be to raise enough money to fund four homes and fresh water wells in Cambodia.

“Global Village Housing build and gift homes in Cambodia for the poorest of poor. As a team, we have been involved and committed to GVH for over three years, working with them to raise

money to build and gift homes. Your involvement in this event will allow us to build another four homes and provide essential supplies to many families for Christmas,” Natalie Sevior from Tempo said.

“This is our first Tempo 50/50 Golf Challenge and our main fundraiser for the year. Of course this won’t be your run of the mill event, Tempo does not deliver mediocre. When the score is secondary, and the experience is everything.”

The event will take place on the open course of Moonah Links on Friday, 16 November.

Food, beverages, and entertainment will be on display all day. Auctions and prizes will be taking place, with a trip to Vanuatu up for grabs.

If anyone wants further information or would like to register, email natalie@thetempogroup. com.au or call 0439368181.

Court show after t-shirt win BACK in April, Basketball Victoria ran a competition for the best redesign of the Hoop Time All Star grand final winner and runners up t-shirts for 2018.

Getting into the action, two Mt Eliza Primary School year 6 pupils printed off entry forms and handed them out to their peers. Principal Brett Bell signed off on all the forms and entries were sent away.

This month the school was told a design by

Will Leonard had been chosen as the winner.

This led to the school being treated to a day of basketball clinics and a visit from the Melbourne United basketball team.

The players featured in a game time event with player introductions, crowd activities, music, competitions, prizes and show bags.

“Melbourne United participated in a four-quarter game against the pupils and everyone had a blast,” the school’s Madeleine Bryan said.

For the cause: Golfers will tee off from Moonah Links on 16 November for the cause of raising money to build homes in Cambodia for those in need. Picture: Gary Sissons

BIGGLES the dog in real life with his owner Tim, left, as he appears in the books illustrated by Jenny K Barnes, centre, and written Vanessa Thiele, above.

Dog used to teach social skills to children Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au PSYCHOLOGIST Vanessa Thiele has chosen to use a dog as the main character of a book aimed at fostering children’s “social and emotional intelligence, work ethic and grit”.

Thiele says these are “mindset skills that are of particular interest to parents and teachers”.

The man vehicle for these character traits is Biggles, a Jack Russell.

In real life Biggles “worked” on farms for 15 years alongside Thiel’s husband Tim and his brother.

“Tim worked all over the Mornington Peninsula and had lots of clients, many of who would remember Biggles,” Thiele, who practices in Hastings, says.

“I was inspired to write about Biggles because I saw how much he loved the work, riding in the machinery and on the hay trailer, chasing the mice.

“He got into many scrapes too; once he was bitten by a snake and lived to tell the tale; another time he fought a kangaroo and held onto its back while it hopped and bounced around. He was quite extraordinary.”

A mother of two – Ollie, six and Ashy, four – Thiele’s Biggles Goes to

Work is the first in a series of five she and illustrator Jenny K Barnes plan to publish through crowdfunding.

Barnes is a former high school friend and also the mother of two young children.

“This was definitely a passion project for me,” she said.

“It’s thrilling to be able to bring this little character to life and think about the positive influence he will have on our readers”.

Thiele has written three of the fivebook series. The second, called The Little Dog Who Could, focuses on resilience and overcoming challenges, and the third, Biggles Finds his

Superpowers, focuses on individual strengths and self-compassion.

The final two will cover gratitude and mindfulness, and emotional intelligence.

The books will be accompanied by notes to help teachers and parents “map the areas of the curriculum to the book themes and generate discussions that will support children’s positive mindset skills”, Thiele says.

Sales of the books will also help “Aussie farmers battling drought and natural disasters” through the Drought Angels organisation.

“We thought it only fitting, since Biggles displays the same resilience

and tenacity as the farmers themselves,” Thiele says.

“The book tells a heart-warming tale in rhyming verse about Biggles working on the farm and learning the joy of helping others.

“He displayed such enthusiasm and tenacity; he just loved his work and overcame every challenge he faced. I thought kids would connect with Biggles, and that his story could inspire the same strength and self-belief in them.”

Biggles Goes to Work is available by going to www.Kickstarter.com and searching for Biggles Goes to Work.

New CEO of The Bays leads tin rattle at the Peninsula Cup THE Bays Hospital is betting on the goodwill of patrons attending Sunday’s Peninsula Cup to give generously, to help equip the hospital’s new Critical Care Unit with the latest, most advanced lifesaving equipment.

Experienced healthcare executive Elena Allen, recently appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of The Bays, will be joined by critical care nurses and volunteers to collect public donations for the six-bed Critical Care Unit, opening in 2019.

The availability of intensive care level services in Mornington, will mean that for the first time, patients with significant health risks and complications will not need to leave their local community when requiring hospitalisation.

Elena brings a wealth of experience in the healthcare sector, including her most recent role as the Chief Executive Officer of the Calvary Central Districts Hospital in South Australia.

Elena has more than 28 years experience in healthcare, working in various leadership, clinical and executive roles, including acute hospital, aged care, mental health, health call centre and disability services, with a range of local, regional and state-wide responsibilities.

As a charitable hospital operating on a completely not-for-profit basis, The Bays Hospital relies on donations to ensure our patients have access to the most sophisticated equipment and therefore the very best care.

To donate to The Bays Hospital visit www.thebays.com.au or phone 5975 2009.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Naval Base to be supplied with mains water Compiled by Brodie Cowburn ACCORDING to present calculations the naval base at Westernport will be supplied with water by the new year.

While the main efforts of the Water Commission have been concentrated on providing the supply for the naval base, regard has been made for the needs of towns on the route of the service, and it has been found that the whole of the area as far as Mentone at least fall naturally within the scheme.

It has now been agreed to extend the scheme northwards so as to include a supply to the whole of Mordialloc and Mentone. *** WE are compelled to hold over report of the Somerville Branch of the Australian Comforts Fund, and several other interesting items till our next issue. *** TONIGHT a concert for the Frankston Soldiers Repatriation Fund will be given in the Mechanics. There should be a bumper house for such a worthy movement, especially as the money raised will be expended in the district, and on our own boys. *** MR J. C. Murphy, who has seen three and a half years of active service at the front with our troops, has now purchased the dairy business of Mr T. Reeves, in Bay Street, Frankston, and solicits a continuance of the support accorded his predecessor. *** REV O. J. Boyle, Methodist Home Mission Deputation, will preach on Sunday next at Frankston, morning;

Langwarrin, afternoon; and Somerville, evening.

He will address a public meeting in the Frankston Methodist Church on Thursday evening next at 8p.m. *** THE president of the Frankston Progress Association acknowledge with thanks, the receipt of the following donations to Madden Memorial Fund.

Amount previously acknowledged, £25 17s 6d; Dr Foreman (Sydney), £5 5s; Sir David Hennessy, £2 2s; Miss R. McAlister, £2 2s; Miss M. V. Primrose; £1 1s ; John Jolly esq. £1 1s; Mrs John Jolly, £1 1s ; Mrs Agnes Shidds, 10s ; Total, £38 19s 6d.

Donations acknowledged only up to 25th Oct. 1918.

Th President of the Frankston Progress Association has received a communication from Miss M. V. Primrose, organising secretary of the Australian Visiting Trained Nurses’ Association of which the late Sir John Madden was President.

Miss Primrose anticipates being able to forward a donation of £1 1s for each of the members, by a later mail, for the Madden Memorial Fund.

Miss Primrose also wishes and suggests that a public function to raise funds for the Memorial be inaugurated in Melbourne in which the Australian Trained Nurses Association would assist and take part.

The suggestion will be brought before the next meeting of the Progress Association. *** 8th Presentation to Frankston Volunteers. On Thursday evening the Mechanics’ Hall was well filled, at

the invitation of the local branch of the Red Cross Society, in order to bid farewell to a few more of our brave lads, who have now reached the age that renders them eligible for enlistment, and who were only too eager for that time to come.

The chair was occupied by Cr Chas. Murray, President of the Shire, in the absence of Mr James Grice, who was unavoidably absent.

A good musical programme was commenced by the singing of the National anthem, Miss O’Grady presiding at the piano, and also playing most of the accompaniments.

The following programme was then gone through: Mr Payne, song and encore; Mrs Boyett, song; Miss E. Murray, song; Mrs Aitken, song and encore.

The chairman then said that the most important part of the programme would now be proceeded with, viz. the presentation of medals to the lads who had enlisted in defence of their King and Country.

He spoke of the deeds done by our Australian lads who had already gone, and felt sure that the lads that evening would emulate those deeds.

These young men, as they come of age, were keeping up the traditions of Frankston, and if the other parts of the State had followed that example there would have been no need for compulsory enlistment.

Dr Plowman said the presentation this evening to volunteers from Frankston was the eighth that had been made since the commencement of war.

There had been 136 presentations

made and with the six to be made that evening, made up a total of 142 volunteers who had received presentations.

In the first instance presentations of wristlet watches were made, but it was afterwards thought that medals would be more suitable and last longer as mementoes of the occasion.

The chairman then made the first presentation to Private Allan Tivendale (formerly employed in the local post office) and accompanied the gift with a few words of cheer and encouragement and a wish for his safe return.

Private Eric McComb, whose brother, Private Bert McComb had made the supreme sacrifice, and he was going to fill his place.

Private Reg. Coxall, Private F. Johns, Privates Earps, and Private Evan Jones, were then given their medals by the chairman, who expressed great admiration at the action of the lads and a heartfelt wish for their safe e return.

Private R L. Green, a returned man who his re-enlisted and gone to the front for the second time, and Privates Reginald and Robert Grierson, the two latter being present and are just about leaving for the front, will also receive medals at a later date, their names not having been given to the hon. sec. (Dr Plowman) in time for presentations to be made that evening.

After the presentations, three hearty cheers were given and “ For they are jolly good follows” sang with enthusiasm.

After Mr Payne and Mrs Aitken

had favored the company with songs and the Misses Murray with a duet, for which an encore was demanded.

Cr Mason proposed a hearty vote of thanks to all those who had assisted in making the function the undoubted success it had been.

Refreshments were then handed round, and the proceedings termnated in a dance, which was much enjoyed. *** OUR LETTER BOX. THE WATTLE CLUB. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—In your last week’s issue of the “Standard “ there appears an article, criticising the Wattle Club, in which you state that the Wattle Club absolutely refused to lend any of its furnishings, or to assist in any way, the welcome to two Anzacs.

Now, Sir, I wish to say that that statement is absolutely inaccurate, as the president gave me full permission to use whatever I required of the club’s crockery, furnishings, etc.

They even left the decorations up in the hall which had been in use the night previous.

Trusting you will do justice to the Wattle Club by inserting this disclaimer.—Yours etc.

ALICE McCOMB. We quite understand that the Wattle Club material was loaned to Mrs M’Comb personally, and also we have on reliable authority that it was refused the Welcome Home committee as a body. Why ?—ED. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 2 November 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

It’s Okay to Be White (But It’s Still Not Okay to be Awful)

By Stuart McCullough I’ve never really wondered If it’s okay to be white It’s never really crossed my mind Or kept me up at night It seemed a silly thing to say So strange and impolite But still it made me think of all The whiteness in my life I wake up every morning On the white side of the bed Ignoring all the white noise That has gathered in my head It continues on with coffee Flat white! Not cappuccino No other brew would ever do For this middle-aged albino I slap on some white sunscreen If I plan to step outside Otherwise my pale skin Will sizzle, bake and fry Cos being pink is not okay And red is downright awful Sunstroke makes me lie down And take aspirin by the paw full For when it comes to being white There’s no one white as me It’s not that it is not okay More it was meant to be Cos being white is not a choice It’s a question of degree I suspect it’s true for others too Whatever shade they be Purple, green or topaz too - Everyone’s fantastic!

Whatever kind of skin you’re in Wrinkled or elastic It’s just the sack we’re stuck with We’re otherwise the same We want the lives of those we love To be sweet as sugar cane

Frankston Times 30 October 2018

‘It’s okay to be white’ What a puzzling declaration!

Dare I suggest that it betrays A vulgar fascination With trying to sew division In every corner of the nation.

That’s such a lot of fuss over A lack of pigmentation ‘It’s okay to be white’ I’m still puzzled that you said it It’s not a thing that needs to be Debated in the Senate It’s such a shame it happened Whether here or Timbuktu Especially when you should have Many better things to do It’s okay to speak your mind I just hope that it’s awake!

And that you know the impact That your silly words can make For it’s okay to be quite dull Bohemian or artsy But it’s not okay to echo things Said by neo-Nazis Yes, it’s okay to be white Or be mauve or pink or purple It’s okay to like giraffes Or dugongs, dogs or turtles.

It’s okay to be tall and thin Or short and kind of dumpy It’s okay to be anything - Happy, sad or grumpy.

So let’s agree that it’s okay To be anything you like And if that proves too much for you Then, best be on your bike Stop your incessant carping Be glad for what you’ve got For being white might be okay But being awful is definitely not stuart@stuartmccullough.com

PENINSULA

MOOROODUC have failed to make the most of a poor Long Island innings as the first two day clashes of the 2018/19 MPCA season took place.

Andrew Tweddle top scored for Long Island with a lowly score of 17, as Moorooduc bowler Reece Cordeaux starred by running through the top order and claiming figures of 4/23 with 7 maidens.

Long Island ended up all out for 75, but were let off the hook by a shaky Moorooduc, who lost their first two wickets for 4 runs.

Moorooduc finished the day at 5/98.

At Ditterich Reserve Crib Point were sent in to bat first by Main Ridge.

Losing the toss had no effect on Crib Point, who batted well to reach 8/190 at the close of play.

Jason Albress could hold his head high after a strong performance with ball in hand, claiming 4/63.

Red Hill put in a good performance against Somerville to reach a strong total of 184.

Tail end batsman Jamie McCall put in a big shift, with 44 runs to his name.

The final Peninsula match featured Pines and Baden Powell.

Pines won the toss and chose to bat first, and their top order performed valiantly.

Ashley Hupe scored a well taken half century, as the Pines ended up all out for a well taken 221.

The Yabbies have a huge task ahead of them to stay in touch, Dromana Reserve played host to Dromana and Rye on Saturday, as the home side was sent in to bat first.

Travis Campbell also performed well with a good score of 70.

Mornington performed better with their home ground advantage, as they put Pearcedale to work with an impressive batting display.

Ben Clements continued his brilliant start to the year, claiming his second century in the last week before being run out for 105.

Mornington finished at 8/276 at the end of 80 overs.

Mt Eliza also performed well to survive 80 overs, as they finished their innings against Flinders at 8/203.

Baxter, Pines snare coach, players SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie BAXTER and Frankston Pines have hit the ground running with preparations for next season.

Last week Baxter announced that Robert Mathieson was the new assistant to head coach George Hughes while the makeover of the Pines squad by gaffer Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor got underway in earnest.

Mathieson played with Mulgrave, Croydon, Springvale City and Dandenong City before joining Langwarrin 27 years ago eventually becoming a long-serving assistant to legendary senior coach Gus Macleod.

He spoke to other local clubs before accepting an offer from Baxter gaffer George Hughes.

“I get on well with George and we share the same football philosophy so it was a good fit,” Mathieson said.

“The facilities there are top-notch and they’re only going to get better with new lighting and new dugouts on the way in fact the facilities are better than some of the NPL clubs I’ve been to.

“I think Baxter has got great potential and hopefully with George’s experience and my experience we can point the team in the right direction.”

Ex-Langwarrin midfielder Matt Morgan has been linked with Baxter again after leaving the club midway through last season and joining rival Hampton Park United, which eventually was relegated.

Current Langy midfielder Jonny Guthrie is another possible target.

The experienced Englishman would be a huge asset in the middle of the park and is just as comfortable playing at the back.

Hughes and Mathieson were not the only interested spectators at last Wednesday night’s hit-out between Australia Youth and Baxter at Parkmore soccer club in Keysborough.

Former Kingston City and Baxter midfielder and current Skye United player Jack Gallagher was in the crowd and was seen deep in conversation with Hughes.

Australia Youth was coached by former Baxter boss Roy Kilner who is preparing the squad for the 2018 UNite Cup run by the Melbourne Chinese Soccer Association in partnership with Football Victoria and Melbourne Victory.

Kilner has been offered the senior coaching job at Dandenong Warriors which is one of Baxter’s State 4 South rivals so his presence will add an edge to league clashes between these clubs

in 2019.

Meanwhile Pines used social media to announce the signings of Travis Ernsdoerfer and Cameron Bryden last Friday while Cedric Benza, Tuach Ter and Tapiwanashe Munyanyiwa are expected to be announced as new signings this week.

Ernsdoerfer, 18, is a former Bentleigh Greens junior who made his senior debut with Baxter before playing with Langwarrin’s under-20s in the NPL last season.

“He brings a different dimension to us up front,” Taylor said.

“He’s very direct, strong on the ball and powerfully built. He’s comfortable with his back to goal and he’s good in the air.”

Bryden, 23, played with Langy juniors before making his senior debut with Seaford United.

He was overseas for most of last season but returned and played half a dozen games for Seaford as the club battled to save its State 3 South-East status.

“He’s good on the ball and he

doesn’t mind getting stuck in,” Taylor said.

“He can play in central midfield or up front and he’ll be an asset.”

Benza, 20, is a former Springvale White Eagles player who joined Langy’s under-20s last season but no longer qualifies for that age group.

“Cedric’s a readymade senior player and I’ve got a lot of time for him,” Taylor said.

“He’s strong, good in the air and his recovery and closing speeds are just fantastic.”

Ter is a former Springvale White Eagles and Langwarrin under-20s leftsided player and Taylor was delighted to clinch his signature.

“Tuach has terrific quick feet, is defensively sound and has the ability to get past an opponent and whip dangerous crosses into the box,” he said.

“Tapsy” Munyanyiwa is set to quickly become a fans favourite at Monterey Reserve.

He’s a flying machine with plenty of NPL senior experience and the 21-year-old winger has been with

Bentleigh Greens, Springvale White Eagles, Sunshine George Cross, Doveton and Point Cook.

“He was with me when we won the under-20s championship at Bentleigh and I’m absolutely stoked to get him to Pines,” Taylor said.

The only loss so far from last season’s senior squad is midfielder Ross Robertson due to tertiary studies while striker Mitch Lander has been rumoured to be returning to Seaford United.

But it’s expected that the bulk of last season’s squad will attend pre-season training which gets underway officially on 4 December.

CJ Hodgson and Graham Hill have been sounded out by other clubs with Mornington and Doveton keen on Hodgson while Hill has been linked with Brandon Park.

Taylor is keen to retain them and has his sights on other signing targets.

Langy midfielder Alex Whyte, 20, is one of them.

“Alex is good with either foot, has good vision and is very composed,” Taylor said.

“He can pick a pass and go long or short and he’s a good organiser.

“He broke into Langy’s senior squad last season and came off the bench a few times.”

It’s believed that Taylor also has an in-principle agreement with exPines keeper Alfonso Cardinale who switched to Heatherton United last season.

Taylor is set to meet with other prospective signings in coming weeks but

Sudoku and crossword solutions

won’t release their names yet.

Former Skye United and Seaford United coach Paulo Pinheiro will coach Pines’ reserve squad next season.

“Paulo was very keen to get back into coaching and he’s happy to work with the younger players,” Taylor said.

Once Darren Roberts can resolve some work issues he’ll decide whether or not he can take up the offer of assisting Taylor.

Pines also look like fielding a couple of junior teams next season.

The club is likely to have an under15s team with the bulk of that squad coming from another local club.

And the spill from last season’s under-11 program at Langwarrin looks likely to produce an under-12 squad for Pines in 2019.

In NPL2 news Langwarrin announced on Sunday that it had signed striker David Stirton from Dandenong City.

Stirton is a former Langy junior who has extensive experience at the elite level of Victorian soccer including spells with Oakleigh Cannons, Dandenong Thunder, Melbourne Victory, Southern Stars, Bentleigh Greens, South Melbourne and Port Melbourne.

Langy announced last week that Ritchie May would be senior team manager for next season and Peter Tuckett would assist high performance manager Alistair Wallace.

May was assistant coach and team manager of the under-20s last season while Tuckett first joined Langy as a player in 1977 and for many years now has been the club’s fitness coach.

Former Peninsula Strikers and Frankston Pines midfielder Ben Millward is expected to be named shortly as the new strength and conditioning coach of Langy’s under-20s.

In State 2 South-East news Peninsula Strikers’ boss Danny Verdun will hold a meet and greet night with current and prospective players at the club’s Centenary Park headquarters on Thursday at 6.30pm.

Verdun has been arranging a raft of pre-season friendlies and signed off on the last one a few days ago.

Strikers will host South Yarra on Saturday 16 February at 3pm and 5pm.

In other news State 3 South-East outfit Skye United announced last weekend that Liam George had been reappointed for a fourth straight year to the reserves coaching post while local goalkeeping guru Peter Blasby will meet with Dandenong City head coach Zeljko Kuzman this week to discuss a specialist role at the club.

Hillier scores Australia’s first threeby-three silverware

By Ben Triandafillou SOUTHERN Peninsula Sharks director of coaching, Gerard Hillier, has taken the Australian Youth Girls three-by-three team all the way to a bronze medal at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Thursday 18 October.

The youth girls side, made up of Suzi-Rose Deegan, Sara-Rose Smith, Ruby Porter and Alexandra Fowler, secured Australia’s first piece of international silverware in three-by-three basketball with a 16-13 victory over top-ranked China in the bronze medal game.

The Australian side entered the tournament which went for almost two weeks as the last women’s seed (20th) and sat at 36th in the world rankings prior to the competition.

Despite their low ranking and entering the tournament as a wildcard, the

Body builder keeping the streak alive

youth girls played with a lot more quality than their ranking would suggest.

In the group stage, the youth girls were victorious in three of their four matches, defeating the Netherlands (ranked fifth) 11-7, Czech Republic (ranked 17th) 15-11 and Estonia (ranked fourth) 19-15.

They went on to comfortably defeat Ukraine (ranked second) 16-6 in the quarter finals before suffering an overtime loss to France (ranked sixth) 19-20 in the semi-final.

The Aussies bounced back to defeat China in the bronze medal game and will now likely sky rocket their world ranking, having finished third overall in the international competition.

Sharks director of coaching, Gerard Hillier, said “I cannot put into words the amount of grit and determination these young

ladies had in the face of some extremely strong competition and through adversity,” he said.

“If we had to do it all over again, I couldn’t think of four better players to go back to battle with.”

The exceptional run from the youth girls tops off a remarkable 12 months for the coach who has been dominating the women’s leagues with his various teams.

Hillier coached the under-18s women’s side which won a bronze medal at the Australian Junior Championships; the under-16s women’s side which won a gold medal at the Basketball Victoria Country Championships; the under-16s women’s side which were crowned champions in the Victorian Junior Basketball League; and the Sharks’ state championship women’s side which finished runners-up in the Big V competition.

AUSTRALIAN body builder and owner of Empire Fitness gym in Rosebud, Paul Jayilian, will be travelling to America to defend his WFF NABBA World Title on Saturday 3 November.

Jayilian, 43, has been competing in the sport of body building since 2008, and has spent the past five years undefeated on the national and international circuit.

The former kick boxer said he is super confident heading into this year’s world championships.

“I think I’ve got it covered,” he said.

“I’ve just had a slight change in diet and training heading into this year’s one but I’ve put on probably 6kgs.

“From last November I was 80kgs with 3 per cent body fat and this year I will be about 86kgs with 3 per cent body fat.”

The experienced body builder has competed in around 45 competitions since he started in 2008 and has shelved 45 trophies, having finished first or second in every competition he has entered, including the worldrenowned Arnold Classic which he won in 2017.

Despite being eligible to compete in the over-40s Master’s competition, Jayilian said he won’t be contemplating the move into that division until the younger generation start to beat him.

“I haven’t done that because there’s no real reason to,” he said. “I’m still taking on the younger guys and I’m still beating them so until they start beating me then I’ll stay here.”

For some athletes, it can be difficult to work and train at the same time, but for Jayilian, he said his lifestyle

has worked perfectly for him.

“I like to push myself to the limit,” he said.

“I do about an hour and a half to two hours a day of weight training and that’s six days a week. I take one day off.”

“I own my own gym and opened up Empire Fitness in Rosebud in April, so I pretty much work here and train at the same time which is great for me.”

Following on from the WFF NABBA World Title, Jayilian will also be contending the Arnold Classic again in Melbourne early next year.

It’s been just over a year since Call It A Day fractured his hind leg in trackwork, but since reaching optimal fitness, Hunter believes his gelding has “come back bigger and better”.

“It took him a bit to get right but now he’s back and racing to the potential that we thought he had,” he said.

Hunter has been low-flying as of late, training three winners and a narrow second place-getter from his past five runners (at time of writing).

Three of those runs were from the airborne Call It A Day. Hong Kong jockey Tommy Berry could also potentially be booked for the ride.

MORNINGTON-based trainer, Wez Hunter, will be out to keep his unbeaten run this season at Mornington alive, as his talented gelding Call It A Day lines up in the Peninsula Cup (1600m).

Despite stepping up to the distance for the first time, Hunter is confident Call It A Day can keep the hot-streak going in the Peninsula Cup. “His record on his home track is really good, and he’s had three starts [this preparation] for two wins and a second,” he said.

“He’ll drop to the minimum and it’ll be his first time at the mile, but his form around 1500m has been pretty solid so the trip shouldn’t be an issue.”

Hunter sets sights on Peninsula Cup

BONBEACH Primary School returned from the Gold Coast with silver and gold medals from the School Aerobic National Championships on Saturday 25 August.

It’s the second year that the school has had an aerobic team compete at the national level and this year the Bonbeach Bolts were crowned national champions in the team’s competition.

Two of their members, sisters Tara and Grace Ash, also won silver in the pair’s event. The sisters performed their routine to a song of their choosing being Katy Perry’s ‘Fireworks’ and choreographed their own routine for the event.

The Bolts team consisted of Stella King-Stemmer, Sienna Shead, Jasmin Scott, Tara Ash, Lily Parks, Kaitlyn Farr, Grace Ash and Tea Matic.

Coached by Bonbeach Primary School teachers, Ms Mullavey and Ms Batson, the aerobics teams put in a lot of hard work throughout the year, having started their training in November last year.

Bonbeach Primary School teacher and aerobics fundraiser, Sharon King, said a lot of effort was also put in by the girls to fund the trip.

“The girls we have got at the moment did a fabulous job,” King said.

“They raised all the funds to get there. They ran raffles, had BBQ’s outside of Safeway, and ran silent auctions to fund their trip.

“They raised about $8,000 to go and they did the school very proud.”

King said the girls were “very dedicated” having trained twice a week starting at 7:30 in the morning as well
