Council call on development overturned Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A FRANKSTON council decision to deny a permit to a planned 9 to 10 storey development on the Nepean Highway has been overturned by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. VCAT confirmed that land at 424/426 Nepean Highway could be used for “the use and development of the land for a multi-storey building for retail, dwellings, & serviced apartments.”

Orion International Group was the applicant appealing the decision of council to deny the permit. VCAT heard that Orion International Group were seeking permission to build “a nine/ten storey mixed use building containing retail uses, dwellings, dwellings identified as allowing their use as Home Occupations, serviced apartments, and car parking spaces.” The tribunal “decided in favour of the applicant and have ordered that a permit be issued for the proposal as de-

scribed in the amended plans.” This site is located on the corner of Nepean Highway and Beach Street and has a frontage to Kananook Creek Boulevard. The ruling stated that within the potential 10 storey development, that “except with the written consent of the Responsible Authority, the number of serviced apartments in the development must not exceed 47.” Council contended that the “building’s 30-33.8 metre height is not acceptable because it is greater than 20

metres tall.” Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said that “council’s opinion was that they would not have given a permit, as the building exceeds out height limit of 20 metres.” VCAT Member Michael Nelthorpe noted in his verdict that “regarding the loss of amenity through overshadowing, Mr Biles [witness for the applicant] identifies that shade from this proposal only falls on the rear boundaries of the properties at 127 and 129 Gould Street until 9.15am-9.30am at

the equinox. He says that this is not a significant impact and I agree with him. “Regarding overlooking, I am satisfied that the distance between the proposed building and these residential properties is more than sufficient to achieve an acceptable outcome regarding loss of amenity through overlooking. Accordingly, I find the height of the proposed building is acceptable.” This permit will expire if development is not completed within five years of the date of the permit.

specialists HANDS

Keeping social with Banksia Frankston BEING a carer for a person living with Alzheimer’s disease can have many ups and downs. Seaford resident Cathie, 73, says connecting with others is vital for her. ’Meeting other people and knowing that you’re not the only one, you feel that if they can get through it, you can get through it too.’ Her husband Arthur, also 73, arrived in Australia from Scotland in 1969, working as a tram conductor, in the days before public transport fares were automated. Before leaving Scotland to try his luck Down Under, Arthur began dating Cathie. After months of writing to her from the other side of the world, Arthur finally put his true feelings to paper, sending Cathie a long distance love letter, asking her to marry him. The following year, Cathie joined Arthur in Melbourne, and they married in Kew, later having two boys. Many years down the track, in 2009, the couple retired on the New South Wales coast, enjoying the relaxation and lifestyle on offer in the local retirement community. Following Arthur’s diagnosis with Alzheimer’s disease two years ago, they made the difficult decision to move back to Melbourne to be closer to their two sons. To assist their parents, the sons made contact with Brotherhood Aged Care, and have since been provided with a range of services. Through the organisation’s Care at Home program, they have the very practical

assistance of a cleaner. They were also introduced to the Brotherhood’s Banksia Frankston Respite Centre, a specialist dementia care facility. Arthur now attends every week on a Thursday, taking part in activities such as carpet bowls and even Thai Chi classes. For Cathie, as full-time carer to Arthur, Banksia also provides her with an opportunity to relax. ’Arthur enjoys it there. He meets people in similar circumstances to himself and I get the time to myself, which is good’, Cathie says. ‘They have six rooms, where Arthur can stay overnight, and there are things like weekend outings that I can go to, and Arthur can stay at Banksia for that time.’ ‘It’s easy come, easy go,’ says Arthur. ‘It’s very casual. Everyone has got something to do and it’s very easy. It’s good to get out.’ Through the Brotherhood, Cathie and Arthur also enjoy monthly movie nights, and evenings at their local RSL Club. The time they spend at the RSL has allowed them to make new friends and mingle with other people in similar situations.‘You find there’s a lot of things the others say that you can relate to,’ says Cathie. ‘The more we go to these social things, naturally the more people we meet. Just meeting people in similar circumstances to you, you don’t still feel like you’re the only one.’ Cathie also joins the Brotherhood’s Carer Support Group which meets once a month, to connect with other

times, Cathie and Arthur continue to make the most of social events offered through the Brotherhood. If you’d like to find out more about

Councillor O’Connor

back on board FRANKSTON councillor Lillian O’Connor has returned to council after a prolonged leave of absence. Cr O’Connor stepped down as deputy mayor and had a leave of absence granted in June, with “personal reasons” cited. Cr Michael O’Reilly was subsequently voted in as deputy mayor by his fellow councillors. Ms O’Connor returned to council for the 1 October meeting. “Council is delighted to have councillor Lillian O’Connor back in the chamber following her leave of absence. Lillian’s passion for her community is stronger than ever and we look forward to working together as a Council to achieve great outcomes for the residents of Frankston City,” Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton said. Cr O’Connor is a first time councillor, representing the North-West Ward. The current term for sitting councillors is set to come to an end in 2020.

Warning given on erection of election signs Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON council has voted in favour of a move to remain apolitical during the upcoming state election by voting to ensure election material is not placed on council property. The council voted unanimously at the 1 October meeting to reaffirm that “whilst acknowledging the

importance of freedom of political expression, council is committed to ensuring that public land is not dominated by election signs, and that election campaign activities do not override the objective of council event.” The motion will see a letter sent to local representatives and candidates reminding them of this policy. “Any candidate must seek permission from the land owner before putting up a sign,” Frankston coun-

cil CEO Dennis Hovenden said. “If you expect to put signs up on council land, don’t do it.” Political signs will be covered on council land in the caretaker period from 30 October up until the election on 24 November. It was indicated that Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke’s sign at Frankston Park will be an example of those that will be removed. Cr Glenn Aitken cautioned that the campaigning during elections

can sometimes lead to “sinister activities.” “There are hands and feet moving in the night,” Cr Aitken said. “Voodoo type of stuff.” Cr Brian Cunial recounted his experience with election signs at the last council election, proclaiming “I had a black texta penis drawn on mine.” “It was quite graphic,” Cr Aitken said.

Votes get popular projects over the line Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au Eleven projects from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula are among 237 Pick My Project ideas sharing $30 million of taxpayers’ money. Ranging from charity works to recreational pursuits, the successful projects were chosen on the number of online votes they attracted. The amount of money available to particular communities was based on an equal split between “regional partnership areas” in metro and regional Victoria and then on population numbers within those areas. The peninsula had the second highest number of successful projects (eight) in

the Southern Metro area but attracted the most money. Improved lighting at Alexandra Park, Mornington attracted the most money, $200,000 while another project to increase the number of cricket nets from four to six at the same oval received another $194,000. At the other end of the scale, a charity that provides mobile showers for homeless people in Frankston was given $20,149 after receiving 656 votes. The Mobile Shower 4 Homeless has been operating for more than two years, helping people on the streets and facing hardship in Frankston, Dandenong, Narre Warren, Cranbourne, Chelsea, Pakenham and Doveton. The money will allow the group to

Gearing up for the garage sale trail RESIDENTS in Frankston are getting prepared to say goodbye to old trinkets and knick-knacks wit the annual Garage Sale Trail around the corner. The trail, taking place on 20 and 21 October, encourages people nationwide to hold garage sales. Chris Exell of Frankston East said she can’t wait to see what the event will bring. “I have been collecting on and off for years, and some of the items I am selling will be hard to part with, but it’s time for me to pass them on to someone who will appreciate them as much as I have,” she said.

“Many of the items have been in my family for generations, such as the vintage toy cars and children’s rocking duck. I also have tools, garden equipment, books, furniture and loads of other stuff I plan on dragging out of the shed.” The event aims to encourage people to choose to reuse, reduce waste and minimise their impact on the earth. Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton said “the average household who participated in last year’s event made around $370, and in the lead up to Christmas, every little bit helps.” “The event is a great way to reduce

the waste we as a city send to landfill, but it’s also a fun and easy way to make some great money by choosing to reuse,” he said. Frankston City’s annual hard rubbish collection has been pushed back by six months, with council instead encouraging residents to use the trail to sell on some of their old things they might have thrown out. The Garage Sale Trail is in its eight year, and Frankston council is one of 140 signed on to participate. Over 60 households have registered a sale in Frankston City.

New face among the gum trees TASTY eucalyptus leaves, lots of naps, cuddles from mum – welcome to the world of Banjo, the first koala joey born at Moonlit Sanctuary, Pearcedale. Banjo arrived after months of suspense for sanctuary staff. Now, energised by his mother’s nourishing pap, Banjo is ready to ride on her back and see the world through the leaves of the gum trees. In his first days, Banjo spent a long time in

his mother’s pouch attached to her teat. As he grew bigger he would appear from time to time, occasionally poking out a leg, then an arm, or his head. Some days he pulled most of his body out to take a peek. Now, at seven months, Banjo is mostly hanging out on his mum’s back in the sanctuary’s latest exhibit – a 10,000 square foot koala centre with five habitats to encourage breeding.

Forester fire

Theft spree charges

POLICE are investigating an incident that occurred at Mahogany Avenue, Frankston North on 28 September. Two people were spotted at 3am driving a Subaru Forester down the street, before exiting the vehicle to place something in a bin and driving out of sight. Soon, two council bins went up in flames. The car was then also found fully engulfed by fire. There was no damage to property and no reported injuries from the incident. The car was identified as an outstanding stolen vehicle.

A 27 YEAR old Langwarrin man under police guard at Frankston Hospital has been released from care and charged on a number of burglary related charges. The man was bitten on the leg by a police dog and had to be transported to hospital for treatment to his injuries. The man has been charged with 4 aggravated burglaries, 1 attempted aggravated burglary, 14 burglaries, 14 thefts, 4 thefts from a motor vehicle, 6 instances of unlicensed driving, and 2 make false documents. Police recovered jewellery and cameras from the man. He is due to face Frankston Magistrates Court on 31 October.

Swerving into danger A MAN has been charged with conduct endangering life after taking police on a chase down FrankstonDandenong Road on 2 October. The 32 year old Cranbourne man drove onto the wrong side of the road, swerving through traffic before crashing into another driver. No injuries were reported to either driver. The man was also charged with driving while disqualified.

Dog bites man AN ugly incident involving two dogs has taken place at a Carrum Downs property on 28 September. The two animals, a Rottweiler and an American Staffy, are owned by the same family at Ravenswood Court. They started attacking each other and had to be separated by their owners. A female owner suffered puncture wound to her hand, while the male owner suffered multiple puncture wounds to his hands, arms, and body. Both were taken to hospital and treated for their wounds. They were handed surrender to destroy documents for the animals by the Ranger.

Rowdy night gone wrong FRANKSTON Police were the gatecrashers of a noisy party on Summit Road, Frankston on 27 September. Police said rowdy guests would not depart, and were engaging in “riotous behaviour” with fights breaking out. Pepper spray was used on the 14 year old party host, who was taken to Frankston Hospital.

Arrest after police crash A LANGWARRIN man and woman were arrested on 4 October after driving at an unmarked police vehicle and colliding with it. In incident occurred in Blackburn Mews.

The driver, a 29 year old Paterson Lakes man, has been charged with theft of motor vehicle, conduct endangering life and driving related offences. Both have been remanded to appear in Frankston Magistrates’ Court.

Gifts top the list at athletics’ drawcard Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au THE running of the inaugural Hastings Gift with $8000 for the winners of the 120-metre men’s and women’s events will be the highlight of a sporting extravaganza to be held at the Thomas Barclay oval, Hastings, on Saturday 17 November. The main events are sponsored by AGL and other races in the 14-event program include the John Coleman Mile (1600m) Hastings open handicap at $1500 and several races offering $1000 in prize money: the Tucketts Tyrepower 120m Hastings masters handicap; Hastings 120m backmarkers invitational/mixed handicap; Hastings 300m open handicap; Malvolio 300m Hastings masters/women’s handicap; Hastings 800m open handicap, and Hastings 4 x 200m stable mixed relay. The Fast’n’Fearless 70m Hastings novice sprint and the Pride Performance 70m Hastings elimination invitational/mixed handicap will offer $600 prizes, and the WCCI 120m Under 18 men’s and women’s handicaps will offer $300 prizes. The Victorian Athletics League’s 120m Hastings under-14 handicap will offer a sash as prize, while trophies will be awarded to the winners of the Secondary school mixed 4 x 200m relay, and Hastings 4 x 200m Australian Defence Force men’s and women’s relays. The launch of the professional running event has come about after a group of residents received the backing of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and the Victorian Athletic League.

Hastings Gift president Terry Kelly said the aim of the day was to attract visitors to the Western Port area and to broaden an awareness of professional running, a “part of Australia’s history”. He said the organisers were able to offer prizemoney high enough to attract top athletes. “As a premier athletic event it will give the public the opportunity to see some of the best athletes in Australia competing for the honour of being the inaugural Hastings Gift winner,” Mr Kelly said. “The event came into being as a number of committee members have family and friends that compete on the Victorian Athletic League circuit and live on the Mornington Peninsula. “They compete with local sprinting team Pride Performance. The members have won all the biggest and most prestigious gifts both in Victoria and interstate. Some of their major wins include the Rye Gift, Maryborough Gift, Ballarat Gift, Queanbeyan Gift (NSW) and the iconic Stawell Gift.” Mr Kelly said the event was expected to attract about 500 athletes, including from interstate. “Local support on the day would give this exciting new event a chance to grow as it becomes an annual event on the local and state calendar and offer much needed fundraising opportunities for the community,” Mr Kelly said. “A number of sponsorship opportunities are available, including sponsoring one of the 14 major races on the day.” To inquire about sponsorship call Mr Kelly 0484 954283 or email president@hastingsgift. org

Life saving and head shaving KATE Bell from the Peninsula Branch of the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation was joined by local police members to shave her head for fundraising. Detective acting sergeant Glenn Holland was present, along with two police members from Carrum Downs Police Station and two members from Chelsea. The event took place in the same week as Blue Ribbon Day and National Police Remembrance day, remembering fallen police officers. The Peninsula Branch lay a wreath at the Frankston Police Station on 29 September to commemorate the event. The head shaving event took place at Patterson Lakes Woolworths, and Blue Ribbon Foundation thanked the supermarket chain for being their biggest sponsor. Woolworths have raised $1.4 million for the foundation over the last three years.

Civic work underway amid promises Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au KEEN young sports stars visited Civic Reserve in Mornington on 5 October to officially signal the beginning of a $3 million project to revitalise the facility. Works have been under for number of weeks now to complete the redevelopment of the soon to be home to Mornington Little Aths and the Mt Martha Soccer Club. The athletics track will benefit from a $2 million investment, while $1 million will be allocated to works on soccer facilities. “Following the terrific ‘where is our track’ advocacy campaign run by members and parents involved with Mornington Little Aths, I was very pleased to secure with Greg Hunt MP $3 million for upgrades at Civic Reserve to build a much needed athletics track and home for Mornington Little Aths, along with soccer fields to benefit Mount Martha Soccer Club and many others, in partnership with additional funding from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council,” said Dunkley MP Chris Crewther. “So many athletes, players and school students will benefit from these new facilities, whether they come from Mornington, Mount Eliza, Frankston South, Frankston, Mount Martha or surrounds. I’m very pleased to now see the works under way.” Construction of the project, funded by the federal government and council, capped off a big week of pledges

On track: Athletics and soccer are getting a $3 million boost at Civic Reserve. Picture: Yanni

made by state candidates to local sports clubs in the lead up to the November state election. Sports facilities were the flavour of this week’s election promises, as the state Labor government pledged over $7 million in funding across two different local grounds. Roy Dore Reserve in Carrum is set to receive $800,000 in already budgeted funding to put towards a new fe-

male friendly pavilion complete with appropriate facilities, with an extra $3.2 million to kick in under a reelected Labor government. The total of $4 million is also expected to be used for a new tennis pavilion, new lights, new scoreboards, and an upgrade of fencing. Roy Dore Reserve is currently used by nearly 1500 people, and is home to local clubs including the Carrum

Cricket Club, the Carrum Patterson Lakes Football Netball Club, and the Melbourne Thunder Touch Rugby side. The Aspendale Stingrays Soccer Club could also receive funding after the November election, with the state Labor government also promising $4.5 million to help them move to a new home ground. The new ground would be based at

FIRE ACTION WEEK

7 - 14 October 2018 Stay informed

Message from the Premier This week is Fire Action Week, a time for all Victorians to start planning for a long and hot summer ahead. Low rainfall over winter has dried out much of the state and forecasts from the Bureau of Meteorology of a dry and hot summer means that we need to prepare for an earlier and longer fire season. Our dedicated emergency services are working with communities, businesses and local councils to reduce the risk for our state.

So please, talk to your family, friends and neighbours about your plans, and make sure you know when to leave and where to go to stay safe. You can also find out more information, monitor warnings and check the daily Fire Danger Ratings at emergency.vic.gov.au Taking the right steps now could make all the difference.

Recent bushfires – both here in Australia and overseas – remind us of the need to understand our own fire risk. Planning and preparing for fire is a responsibility that belongs to everyone.

The Hon Daniel Andrews MP Premier of Victoria

FIRE ACTION WEEK THE RIGHT TIME TO PREPARE IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE READY THIS SUMMER. Prepare your property, fire plan and emergency kit now. The reasons are black and white.

emergency.vic.gov.au Download the VicEmergency app

1. Plan what you’ll do in the event of a fire, talk to your household and know where to access information on high risk days. 2. Keep grass short. Fire can ignite and travel quickly through long grass. 3. Get rid of dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark around your home. 4. Remove or prune shrubs near windows and under branches of mature trees.

5. Cut back overhanging tree branches close to property – no branches within 10 metres. 6. Keep gutters and roof areas clear of leaf litter (if you are physically able to). 7. Remove all materials from around the home that could burn, such as boxes, furniture and woodpiles.

Stop the destruction of our wildlife My fellow residents, have we voted councillors into local government who are hell bent on destroying our delightful rural lifestyle? The destruction of many, many hectares of native grasses, bushland, and who knows which or how many species of fauna, including skinks and plovers (which nest on the ground) is of real concern for those of us who reside on the Western Port side [of the Mornington Peninsula]. Properties on Frankston-Flinders Road, Bittern, Graydens Road, Hastings and High Street, Hastings have recently been sold to developers for the building of hundreds of houses.. People ask why are there are snakes in built up areas and kangaroos at Melbourne airport? Guess what? We are allowing the bulldozing and development of their habitat. Where do we think these animals will get a drink? They don’t want to be in your backyard, but their homes are being destroyed at an alarming rate. Please, challenge your local councillor for an answer and voice these concerns. Maureen Sharpe, Bittern

Talk about anthem Recently, nine-year-old Queensland schoolgirl Harper Neilsen took a brave “stand” (excuse the pun) to the debate and the relevance of our national anthem. For such a young person she certainly is articulate. I too have thought the words inappropriate, especially with regard our First Nation people and our refugees. Do people really understand what they are singing? I think not. Maybe a more appropriate song would be Bruce Woodley’s “I am, you are, we are Aus-

tralian”. ABC TV has been playing it of late, promoting programs. Check out the song and lyrics on YouTube. Let the conversation on our national anthem continue. Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Care for elderly The recent [ABC TV’s] Four Corners series and announcement of a royal commission into aged care have focussed media attention on some very poor practices in the industry and the community is rightly outraged. It would be easy to think that all aged care residences are the same and so be anxious about loved ones. On the morning after the royal commission was announced I received a very thoughtful email from a family member, shared below (names withheld). It’s a timely reminder of the excellent care we provide at Andrew Kerr through our compassionate and professional staff. All of our residents are important and treated with dignity, respect and care. We have established a resident food forum to help chose the menu and suggest weekly specials. The menus are reviewed by independent dieticians and all food is prepared and cooked on site in our new kitchen by Andrew Kerr staff. Fresh fruit is always available and residents can change their meals so they only get what they like. “You may not remember meeting me the other week and I mentioned that my mother was at Andrew Kerr for over 13 years; in this time I was very pleased with the way she was cared for and treated with respect, compassion and humour by staff. This care spanned very different needs over the years and was always

appropriate for her needs at the time. I was also impressed by the support I was given by staff, particularly in her final few days.” Andrew Kerr continues to assist older peninsula residents to live dignified, secure and rewarding lives. We are the only independent stand-alone facility on the Peninsula, proud of our community base and not for profit status. Angela Dixon, CEO Andrew Kerr Care, Mornington

developers, including overseas absentee developers looking for a quick buck at our expense. Our shire council is often overridden by state and federal intervention so we need our elected representatives to show more cross boundaries wisdom and flexibility by meeting together and putting their names to a conjoint statement setting out that their main priority is to protect our wonderful peninsula region. Ian Morrison, Mt Eliza

Preventing stroke

Liberal way ahead Despite the hegemony of state and federal parliamentary representatives, in the past my vote has been either informal or given to a socially thinking and competent candidate from any persuasion other than from the conservative parties. Unless we change the died in the wool thinking of the existing MPs such as Mornington MP David Morris, Hastings MP Neale Burgess and Flinders MP Greg Hunt (forget Dunkley as I believe Chris Crewther has virtually no chance to retain his seat with the recent redistribution of boundaries giving Labor’s Peta Murphy her best opportunity to balance out the current inequities and provide genuine socially democratic leadership for the people of Frankston, Carrum Downs and parts of the Mornington Peninsula). Mention must be made of Russell Joseph who has shown the best intentions to replace Dromana MP Martin Dixon. Mr Joseph listens and responds to petitioners, unlike many of the other incumbents. Why don’t the existing Liberal MPs - Hunt, Burgess and Morris - consider doing something positive about the green wedge? We have heard a few policies and seen publicity photographs, but now is the time to show some leadership and form a Liberals for a Greener Protected Mornington Peninsula Alliance. These politicians could show genuine concern for protecting our unique non-urban, recreational and residential region. Towns like Mornington, Rosebud and Hastings and villages of Mt Eliza, Mt Martha and Rye are under threat from rapacious property

Some say it takes 21 days to form a habit. If that’s the case, Aussies who started to make small changes to reduce their stroke risk can be well on their way to a healthier future. On behalf of the Stroke Foundation, I would like to congratulate all those who helped spread the stroke prevention message during Stroke Week 2018. I also want to take the opportunity to say it is not too late to make some simple changes to your daily routine which would make a positive difference to your health and potentially even save your life. Stroke is a devastating disease which can change lives in an instant, but 80 per cent of strokes are preventable by managing blood pressure and cholesterol and living a healthy lifestyle. During National Stroke Week, with the help of thousands of incredible volunteers right around the country, we shared our five tips for a healthy life and a reduced stroke risk - stay active, eat a healthy, balanced diet, drink alcohol only in moderation, quit smoking and make time to see your doctor for a health check. There will be around 56,000 strokes in Australia in 2018. Stroke attacks the brain, which controls our movements, speech, understanding and emotions. I urge you to stop reaching for the salt or sugary drinks, walk an extra block to work or take the stairs instead of the lift. These small steps can go a long way to reducing your stroke risk. Sharon McGowan, CEO Stroke Foundation

Combined effort results in Moorooduc win Donohue fell for a duck, which set the tone for remainder of the innings. It was a clinical bowling performance from Tootgarook’s Corey DeBruyn, posting figures of 3/10 off 8 overs. Skye finished all out for 63. Tootgarook quickly chased down their target with 28 overs to spare. Dromana had a bye for the first round of the season.

By Brodie Cowburn

PENINSULA

MOOROODUC have posted an impressive total against Crib Point to claim the first win of their season. After winning the toss and electing to bat first, Moorooduc openers Ben Williams and Thilana Rajakaruna got things off to a perfect start. Williams has particularly impressive, notching up seven fours and two massive sixes on his way to a total of 78 before being dismissed. Rajakaruna hit nine fours of his own, as his side flew to a total of 6/209 from their 40 overs. Crib Point posted a respectable total in response, but an impressive bowling performance by Reece Cordeaux helped keep them out out touch. Cordeaux posted figures of 3/26 as Crib Point fell short by 34 runs. At Eric Bell Reserve, a fantastic bowling performance from all-rounder Lai Leaunoa has helped Pines to a win over Main Ridge. Leaunoa got off to a frustrating start and was dismissed for a duck off the bowling of Luke Collins. Most of Pines’ top order failed to fire, but they were saved by an impressive knock of 63 from middle order batsman Nick Wilcox guiding them to 8/161. Main Ridge got off to a shaky start and were 2/14 before Billy Sakalis came in to post a total of 36. Just as he was getting his eye in, Leaunoa redeemed his earlier batting performance by claiming his wicket. The remainder of Main Ridge failed to make much of an impact, as they finished all out for 131. Leaunoa finished with figures of 3/20 off six overs. At Ballam Park East, Long Island won the toss and sent in their Somerville opponents to bat, which would prove to be an unwise choice. Somerville finished with an impressive total of 9/202, which would prove to be a simple target to defend. James Paxton proved particularly expensive with the ball, claiming two wickets but conceding 59 runs from 8 overs. A strong economic bowling performance saw Long Island struggle to keep pace with the required run rate. Long Island ended up falling short of their target by 33 runs, as they finished up at 7/169. The final win of the first round of the season went to Baden Powell, who claimed a comfortable victory over Red Hill. Rhys Elmi put on a man of the match performance for his side, getting things off to a positive start with a handy knock of 21 off 41 deliveries. Star player Coen Chernishoff put together an impressive knock of 50 off 58 to help his side to a total of 7/177. Elmi then turned it on with ball in hand, claiming figures of 3/32 off 8 overs to restrict Red Hill to a small total. A good knock of 47 by Riley Shaw was quickly wasted by a middle order collapse that saw red Hill all out for 128.

DISTRICT

HEATHERHILL have sent a note to the rest of the competition with an emphatic win over Rosebud to start their season. Heatherhill won the toss and chose to bat first, and got off to a dream start.

PROVINCIAL

Flying start: Above, Moorooduc grabbed the win over Crib Point in Peninsula Division. Left, Peninsula Old Boys got the chocolates over Mornington in Provincial Division. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

Steven O’Donnell put on a stunning batting performance, toiling his way to a century before being dismissed by Geoffrey Glaum for a whopping 104. Glaum’s bowling was the standout for Rosebud, finishing with 3/18 off 8 overs. From there Rosebud had a little more luck, as Heatherhill went from 0/127 to 4/144. Heatherhill ended up posting an impressive total of 221 to set Rosebud an almighty target. The task would prove to be too much, as Brett Maxwell claimed four wickets and Jake Theobold three. Theobold’s calps would all come in the same over, as he only conceded 12 runs from his eight overs. Rosebud only completed 21 of theri 40 overs, as they finished all out for 68. At Ferrero Reserve, Seaford took on Mt Martha in what would turn out to be an entertaining clash. The Tigers went in to bat first, and kept the run rate high. David James put together a knock of 56, the vast majority coming from boundaries. The rest of the card also worked hard with few people not performing well, as the Tigers put together a mammoth total of 8/232. Michael Clavin had a mixed day with ball in hand for Mt Martha, claiming two wickets but bowling 11 wides and 8 no balls. Mt Martha put in a respectable effort chasing Seaford, but ultimately fell short. Their first wicket fell for just 1, before they recovered to post 7/173. Opener Alex Mason was their best performer, posting 69 runs. Kanakook Reserve played host to Seaford and Delacombe Park, with Seaford winning the toss. They went in to bat first, but endured a difficult start. Seaford quickly fell to 3/15 before their middle order started firing. Their middle order batsmen put on 103 runs to steady the ship, but their side let them down. They finished at 9/136 and would have to work hard to defend their total.

Delacombe Park also got off to a shaky start, falling to 2/21. They bounced back quickly though, with Ricky Ramsdale’s 57 not out helping his team to 3/140, securing a 7 wicket win. Carrum and Hastings battled it out at Hasting Park, with Carrum choosing to bat first. Carrum got off to a strong start, with their first drop and number four batsmen Dent and D’Atri combining in an impressive partnership. Jake Hewitt eventually dismissed them both, which sparked a nasty batting collapse. Their tail contributed just four runs to the total of 141. Hastings looked to stamp their authority quickly, as Robert Hearn put on 66 runs to put his side in the box seat. They reached the target with three overs to spare, securing a comfortable six wicket win.

SUB DISTRICT

FRANKSTON YCW battled hard but narrowly gave up their lead over Tyabb at Peninsula Reserve. YCW had Matthew Black to thank for their strong start, as he passed his half century on his way to 59 runs before being caught out. The YCW middle order also contributed well, as they put together a defendable total of 5/158. Although Frankston may have felt good about defending 158, Tyabb opener Aaron Edwards quickly put a

dagger through their hearts by posting a dominant innings of 85 runs. He hit three sixes, and was helped by a handy 27 runs from his opening partner. Sam Fulton finally claimed Edwards’ wicket but the damage was done, as Tyabb claimed the win by eight wickets. Carrum Downs faced off a challenge from Boneo to claim a strong win to kick off their season. Adam Mikkelson got things started on the right foot for his side, contributing 45 runs with six fours. Carrum Downs’ middle order performed well as they finished at 9/148 after 40 overs. Boneo struggled to keep touch with Carrum Downs’ run rate, and were losing wickets at a rapid rate. David Dervan and Chris Moloney were the best performers with ball in hand, with figures of 4/20 and 3/18 respectively. Boneo lost the match after being bowled out for 117. Balnarring pulled off a masterstroke against Rye by sending them in to bat, as they quickly ran through them. Only two Rye batsmen reached double digits, as their side was left all out for 81. Balnarring then made easy work of chasing down the run total, claiming the win with 9 wickets in hand. Tootgarook’s decision to send Skye in to bat also proved smart, as Skye struggled badly. Captain and opening batsman Clint

MT ELIZA and Pearcedale battled it out in a thrilling matchup at Emil Madsen Reserve on Saturday 6 October. Mt Eliza won the toss and elected to bat first, and that would prove to be a wise choice. Tim Clarke quickly got his eye in, and went on to post a massive total. He reached a well earned century before being caught out for 124. His opening partner and first drop didn’t help his cause though, as they were both dismissed for a total of 1. Mt Eliza’s middle order played their part, as they clawed their way to an impressive target of 4/218. Pearcedale would have to be on top of their game to get close, but they had an opening weapon of their own. Joshua Swainston showed Mt Eliza that his side wouldn’t take the loss lying down, as he had a brilliant knock of 101 runs. His dismissal put his sides’ chances in doubt, but they eventually held on to claim the winning runs off the final delivery of the day to get a narrow 3 wicket win. Langwarrin took on Baxter in their opening clash for the season, with Baxter choosing to bat first. Baxter’s top order all performed serviceably, but run rate became an issue as the afternoon went on. Leigh Paterson conceded just 9 runs from his 8 overs to frustrate Baxter and limit them to a final total of 7/142. Langwarrin made short work of that total upon coming in to bat, with a 127 run partnership between Thomas Hussey and Taylor Smith helping Baxter claim a thumping nine wicket win. Mornington played host to Peninsula OB at Baxter Park, with both sides keen to claim a victory to get their seasons started off the right way. Peninsula OB won the toss and elected to bat, with their no.3 batsman Wade Pelzer putting on a 58 run show before a frustrating run out. Mornington cycled through their bowlers, with Glenn Wood’s 2/21 off 7 overs being the most impressive. Peninsula OB had performers across their entire side, as they finished at an impressive 8/213. Mornington came in to bat with a big target to chase, and run rate proved to be the biggest issue. Wickets were not falling too quickly, but Mornington were not scoring fast enough. Benjamin Clements contributed 61 runs, but his side’s total of 146 was not enough. The final match of the round pitted Flinders against Sorrento in what would prove to be a one sided affair. Sorrento’s Jake Wood, who would finish with figures of 3/11, tore through Flinders’ top order and left them reeling at 3/9. Flinders finished up at all out for 75, a total which Sorrento chased in just 21 overs. Jedd Falck’s 31 runs was Sorrento’s highest total in their simple run chase.

Four new coaches confirmed SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SKYE United, Baxter, Peninsula Strikers and Southern United have announced their senior coaches for the 2019 season. Skye appointed former Langwarrin midfielder Phil McGuinness last weekend. Peninsula Strikers announced last Wednesday that former Frankston Pines and recent Knox City coach Danny Verdun was taking over and the following day Baxter announced that George Hughes had been appointed as head coach. Southern United announced the appointment of Washington Castillo as senior coach last Friday. McGuinness is a former Skye player and assistant coach who joined the club after playing with Langwarrin and coaching the reserves at Lawton Park to the 2014 championship. His assistant is former Old Scotch player Stephen Duffy who has coached Glen Waverley. Skye held its presentation night last Friday and Daniel Walsh and Daniel Attard tied for senior best and fairest with Caleb Nicholes winning the senior Golden Boot award. Frank Dimu was best and fairest in the reserves with Mikey Turner runner-up while Luke Camerota won the Golden Boot. The senior women’s best and fairest was Sarah Maslen with Saskia Dekker runner-up. Senna Evans won the players’ player of the year award and the Golden Boot winner was Madison Brooks. Jayde Moore won the reserves women’s best and fairest and runner-up was Kerrie Thornhill. The reserves players’ player of the year was Christine Travaglia while Amy Smith won the Golden Boot award. At Baxter Hughes used a PowerPoint presentation to the committee to outline a three-year plan to take the club into the higher divisions and create an attractive development pathway for its juniors. “The club is ambitious and so am I,” Hughes said. “They’ve got a good club with good facilities and a good junior set-up. “I’m hoping to bring in some young quality players who want to play first team football and my goal is simple – I want to win the league next year.” Hughes is the last man to win a championship with Strikers – a feat he achieved in the 2007 season. Verdun has won titles with Pines and

Knox and along with his assistant Neil Standish jumped at the chance to work at Centenary Park. “I was very impressed with Trevor Johnston and the committee and their plans for the club,” Verdun said. “Their passion to take the club forward matches what we want to do as coaches.” Verdun has become the pied piper of State League soccer with a core group of players following him from club to club and it will be no surprise if Michael Hoogendyk, Grant Lane, Paul McEvoy, Jordan Avraham, Nick Giannopoulos, Kyle Crawford and Colin McCormack are among an influx of new players for the upcoming season. Striker Matthew Hames won’t join that group as he is due to go to the UK in December to work as a teacher. Verdun will hold a players’ meeting at Centenary Park on Thursday 1 November. Pre-season training starts on Tuesday 11 December for a fortnight before the Christmas break and will resume on Tuesday 8 January. Strikers already have arranged two pre-season friendlies with Wednesday 23 January pencilled in for a match

at Centenary Park against NPL outfit Kingston City starting at 7pm. On Saturday 9 February Strikers will play Collingwood City at Centenary Park at 4pm and 6pm. Castillo takes over as Southern’s senior coach from Aaron Myatt who rejected an offer to coach the under19s leaving Debbie Nichols and Emma Bracken as the club’s remaining foundation coaches. Castillo joined the academy at famous Uruguayan outfit Nacional as a 12-year-old and spent a season in second division with Rentista before migrating to Australia in 1979. He has been involved as a development coach at Endeavour United working with both boys and girls and has coached Laverton Park’s senior women’s team. He also has coached at Casey Comets (then Cranbourne) and was in charge of the under-16 boys at Skye United this year. In 2010 Castillo returned to Uruguay and attended a 40-day youth development course under the supervision of world renowned Uruguayan coach Óscar Tabárez. Southern technical director Harry

Frankston Times 8 October 2018

Chalkitis is expected to conduct interviews this week with candidates for the under-19 job. In NPL2 news Langwarrin has been linked with moves for Kostas and Chris Droutsas from Eastern Lions and David Stirton from Dandenong City. The Droutsas brothers played pivotal roles in Eastern Lions’ third-placed finish last season while Stirton was Dandenong City’s second top scorer. Former Bentleigh Greens, Hume City and current Oakleigh Cannons midfielder Wayne Wallace has also been mentioned as a Langy target. However the Lawton Park club could have a battle on its hands retaining striker John Kuol who is firmly on Dandenong City’s radar. The word is that Langy head coach Scott Miller’s phone has been running hot recently and pre-season training is expected to be highly competitive. One possible hiccup in the club’s preparations is doubt about Connor Belger’s return from his native England. Meanwhile Matt Morris-Thomas is expected to be re-appointed senior coach of Seaford United as soon as a

The club finished in the relegation zone in State 3 South-East but has been in contact with FFV regarding any possible knock-on effect of Morwell Pegasus withdrawing from State 1 competition during last season. It’s understood that FFV told Seaford that its fate remains uncertain. Morwell is believed to have applied for a spot in State 2 South-East but FFV may decide to only accept the club into a much lower league. Irrespective of the outcome MorrisThomas anticipates quite a few new faces at North Seaford Reserve next season. “The most important thing is to stop the club from sliding any further down the leagues,” Morris-Thomas said. “I’ll definitely be trying to recruit players and I’m expecting a pretty big turnover in the first team squad.” In other news Mark Pagliarulo has signed for Somerville Eagles and the big Scottish striker is delighted with his move. “I went for a wee chat and a pint and after hearing about the new players coming in and what they have planned I was blown away,” Pagliarulo said. “I’ve also got the opportunity to help Stan (Packer) with the academy they’re trying to set up so I will still do a bit of coaching.” “Pags” coached Bulleen’s NPL under-15s this year and came out of retirement late last season to help Baxter in its successful fight to avoid relegation. He lacks little in confidence and is looking forward to linking with Somerville player-coach David Greening and Louis Griffiths up front. “You can interview me when I steal Greening’s Golden Boot at the title party,” Pagliarulo added. Frankston Pines will hold an extraordinary AGM on Thursday after failing to elect an executive committee at its AGM two weeks ago and Hamdija “Boz” Osmancevic is expected to again contest the presidency. Osmancevic was the only candidate for the role at the recent AGM and was duly elected but later stood down amid argument over the club’s future and his management plans. This time however he is expected to have a rival for the top job. Current vice-president Steve Spencer confirmed last weekend that former vice-president Daniel Plaiche would stand and the pair were due to meet as we went to print.

Freedman’s sprinters star in Premiere “They are easy horses to travel and both have done a bit of that,” Freedman said. “Now it’s just a question of keeping them up to the mark over the next two weeks. “I think the track may have been a bit firm for Shoals so a bit of rain between now and the race would suit her.” Assistant trainer Sam Freedman was also full of praise following the pairs run. “He (Santa Ana Lane) was fantastic, it was great ride by Benny (Melham), he knows the horse so well,” he said.

FREEDMAN Racing’s star sprinters, Shoals and Santa Ana Lane, are right on target for the $13 million The Everest after running the quinella in the Group Two Premiere Stakes at Randwick on Saturday 29 October. Santa Ana Lane (first) and Shoals (second) left several Everest competitors in their wake, including last year’s Everest winner Redzel, after scorching the turf to run a track record of 1.07.45s. Mornington-based trainer Anthony Freedman said it will just be about keeping them at their peak for the feature event on Saturday 13 October.

“I thought he was going to run out of time, I thought they were going to get away from him, but fortunately he’s got her right on the line. “Santa we’ll just keep him happy now, he’s probably right where we need him to be, Shoals probably had a little bit of improvement to come, she’ll come on for that and both will be right where we need them to be in two weeks’ time.” Ben Triandafillou Record time: Santa Ana Lane takes out the Group Two Premiere Stakes at Randwick to set a new track record.

Peninsula boxers land another blow PENINSULA Boxers, Rueben Higgins and Bailey Seabourne, have walked away with two dominant victories at the Reggio Calabria Club on Sunday 16 September. Seabourne made it a winning return to the sport after having more than two years out of the ring. In his first time fighting as an elite boxer and under his new head coach Marcos Amado, Seabourne rose two weight divisions and easily accounted for his opposition, giving him a standing eight count before claiming the victory via technical knockout in the final round. Peninsula Boxing head coach Marcos Amado said it was great to see Seabourne return a winner. “He was given the option to return to boxing and he didn’t want to be anywhere else,” Amado said. “He’s set to represent Victoria in the 56kg division but he ended up going to the 64kg division to find a fight and he still stopped his opponent convincingly. “It had been hard to find him an opponent as he’s very experienced, a two time national champ, and everyone was just reluctant to get in the ring with him. “His win will probably make it even harder now to get a fight unfortunately, but he’s on the way up.” Rueben Higgins also claimed a hard fought victory over a tough opponent. Amado said for a boxer of only three fights experience, he looked far more seasoned.

“He’s undefeated since making his comeback.” Higgins then backed up his victory on Saturday 22 September in Tasmania alongside fellow Peninsula boxers, Christine Ng and April Franks.

Franks was first in the ring against a Tasmanian favourite and despite putting in a dominant performance, the final decision didn’t go her way. Franks was further awarded as the most outstanding female fighter for

her performance. Amado was in disbelief following the split decision. “What can I say apart from we won but didn’t get the decision,” he said. “I hate losing like this as it strips

her of all the hard work that has gone into the preparation but we will move forward and use this as another motivation to work harder at our goals. “Hopefully we’ll meet the same opponent on neutral ground down the track.” Higgins backed-up his victory the week prior, with another dominant display of controlled aggression against a man nine years his senior. He made sure the decision was left beyond doubt. Higgins gave two separate eight counts and forced his opponent to retire after only a minute and a half into the opening round. Amado said Higgins was adamant that it wouldn’t last the distance and that it wouldn’t come down to a final decision. “It’s very rare for someone to retire like that with all the padding on the helmets and gloves at that level,” he said. “It really showed how dominant he was on the night.” Christine Ng also entered the ring in an exhibition fight. Amado said she looked composed and much improved throughout the bout. “It was good for her to get in the ring with no pressure and just focus on the experience,” he said. “It would have helped her work on her nerves and ring craft to take into the ring next outing.” Ben Triandafillou
