Diesel back-up on power cut days Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au DIESEL generators have been brought onto the Mornington Peninsula to avoid power outages over summer. Outages can be expected up to five times each summer, usually when thousands of holiday-makers turn on their air-conditioners at around the same time. Network provider United Energy says the extra demand can lead to “more than double a normal day’s power use”.

The 11 generators on private properties at Dromana, Boneo and Rye will back-up peninsula’s grid during peak demand. The generators will be on site for five years but are expected to be replaced with other “demand-management” options, such as batteries and solar panels. The generators are part of the Community Grid partnership between electricity network provider United Energy, Mornington Peninsula Shire and technology company GreenSync, whose cloud-based software platform manages the power-sharing load.

Lawyers & Advisers

The software will anticipate peakload demand and bring the generators online at the same time as telling 10 peninsula businesses to cut their power use. United Energy says this strategy will supply sufficient power to the grid on days of high use. The businesses will be rewarded with “financial incentives” for their part in the power savings. “This is not about the security of supply of electricity,” United Energy’s general manager networks Mark Clarke said. “It is about the capacity of our network to distribute electricity

on a few peak days of the year when demand is highest. He said “demand management” was well-established internationally. Mr Clarke said the temporary use of generators had allowed United Energy to defer a $30 million upgrade of the network – and “this works out to be cheaper for customers”. “In the US, demand management helps deliver … seven per cent of peak demand,” he said. “Recent reports by regulators, including the ACCC, AEMO and AEMC, have all supported the opportunity for demand management to put downward

pressure on energy prices.” The Liberal National’s energy and resources spokesman David Southwick described the plan as a “desperate stop-gap measure”. “Twelve months since Daniel Andrews shut down Hazelwood and sucked 22 per cent of baseload power from the grid [he] has no plan to provide enough power to prevent blackouts, other than ridiculous media stunts and pie-in-the-sky ideas. “Our focus is on providing reliable, affordable and safe electricity supplies. Demand management is one way we can achieve this.”

High flying birthday wish comes true at 80 Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au IT may have taken 50 years, but Rye grandmother Wendy Burgis has finally achieved her most treasured birthday wish: to jump out of a light plane. “It was great,” she said, recalling the daredevil jump onto the St Kilda foreshore recently. “I’ve wanted to do it for a long time and when my daughter Kate asked me what I wanted for my 80th birthday I told them.” Ms Burgis said her extended family watched from far below as she and a skydiving instructor leapt clear of the light plane at 15,000 feet and floated gently down. “Never could I say I was scared or apprehensive,” she said of the experience. “The fellow on my back was in his early 30s and so confident that he made me feel at ease. He talked to me all the way down.” Ms Burgis said the only downside was in having to leave home at 6am to meet the plane at Moorabbin airport by 8am. This meant her son, who has cancer, had to sit in his wheelchair for several hours. “I felt awful,” she said. “But, he said, ‘Mum, please just do it. You have wanted to do this for such a long time’, so I did.” Her description of waiting a long time is borne out when Ms Burgis recalls how she and dozens of other pilot-hopefuls had flocked to Moorabbin airport 50 years ago in a competition to earn free flying lessons through the Civil Flying School. “The idea was that you would do a

test run and, if they thought you were suitable, they would pick the best 10 for training,” she said. “I think I must have come 11th because I was not chosen but I would have loved to have done it. I’ve still got the letter saying I did OK but had not been selected.”

Now, half a lifetime later, the enthusiasm is still there – and part of that dream has come true. Jumping from the plane, Ms Burgis said the shock of the cold air “burned my face” for a short time as she acclimatised and began to relax and enjoy the descent.

“The instructor told me everything was fine and I could wave my arms and do loop-the-loops. Looking towards Melbourne the MCG was so beautiful. “Then we made a perfect landing.” Ms Burgis said she had planned to do the jump on her birthday: 25

August, but daughter Kate quipped that she had better do it the day before “because if anything goes wrong we can eat the food at the wake”. Thankfully, nothing did go wrong and the spritely octogenarian can dream up ideas for next year’s birthday.

Talks call as brew plans put on hold Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au PLANS for a microbrewery in green wedge-zoned land at Moorooduc include car parking for 28 vehicles, an additional dwelling as well as growing hops for the beer that would be brewed and sold on site. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s planning services committee last week deferred making a decision on a permit for the brewery despite officers recommending that a permit be refused. Council officers recommended the permit be refused but Cr David Gill said councillors decided a deferral would allow “interested parties to en-

gage in a discussion to see if all aspects and ramifications of the permit application had been fleshed out” so an agreement could be reached before a decision was made by council of the Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal. Under the permit application beermaking and selling is proposed on the 34 hectares of grazing land at the corner of Graydens and Stumpy Gully roads next to the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association’s R M Hooper Oval. While most of the land would be retained for grazing, the microbrewery proponents say 1.7 hectares would be used to grow hops and 6.4hectares

for barley. Councillors on the planning services committee were told that “preliminary investigation suggests [the] applicant has way overestimated the potential yields of barley”. The shire’s “rural business officer”, in a report, estimated 12.8 tonnes of barley may be produced on the 6.4 hectares when 116.5 tonnes would be needed to make 233,000 litres of beer, which was stated to be two thirds of the microbrewery’s output. The report by strategic projects senior planner Hugh Pierce, said the proposed microbrewery was dependent on the establishment of a relationship with agricultural produce to be grown on the site.

“Whilst the proposal does indicate some link between the land and the microbrewery, the level of information provided detailing how this will be undertaken (from an operational and manufacturing perspective) and the timeframes for both agricultural production of the key ingredients and the commencement of brewing operations are lacking,” the report to the committee’s 17 September meeting stated. “Therefore, there is an inability to be assured that the critical relationship between the land and industry is acceptable. The commercial element (i.e. the sale and consumption component) of the proposal also raises concerns regarding both its appropriateness within the

context of this green wedge land, and whether sale and consumption will be truly ancillary, or grow to become the more dominant use of the land over time. “Whilst the microbrewery is proposed to produce beer with key ingredients sourced from the land, the sale and consumption area alone is considered a large-scale proposal in the green wedge … The onsite sale and consumption of liquor for up to 40 patrons will have detrimental implications for the existing rural amenity of the area.” Mr Pierce said if the microbrewery was “not supported” the shire could be left with two dwellings on the site “which is prohibited within the green wedge Zone”.

Labor’s late start in Nepean THE Labor Party has finally announced its candidate for the seat of Nepean being vacated by retiring MP, Martin Dixon. The choice of Chris Brayne, right, comes months after the Liberals’ Russell Joseph hit the campaign trail and some weeks after the Greens Paul Saunders said he too would be wooing voters in Nepean. Mr Bayne said if Labor was returned to office and also won Nepean it would ensure the seat became marginal and “have the attention of everyone including myself as the local MP, the Premier [presumably Daniel Andrews] and the government itself”. “Imagine the opportunity our electorate can achieve with an MP who has to actually work for their job.” The three state electorates which cover the Mornington Peninsula are all comfortably held by Liberal MPs: Mr Dixon in Nepean; David Morris, Mornington; and Neale Burgess, Hastings. Mr Joseph, the Liberal candidate, was formerly Mr Dixon’s electoral officer. While appearing to admit that the current Labor government did not pay much attention to the peninsula, Mr Brayne said he would “fight for the things that keep our peninsula the special place it is”. His initial news release describes the popularity of the peninsula with visitors and tourists while being “filled with working families, school kids and retirees alike, all of whom have chosen, for obvious reasons, to live their lives in this special part of Australia”. “But although our peninsula is so great, there are issues that seem to be ignored the more time goes on,” Mr Brayne said. “How is our community best served by having a shoe-in each election? The people of Nepean would get better bang for their buck when their local politicians have to work for their vote, not expect to win every time regardless of how hard

they’ve worked for you.” Mr Brayne said he would “fight to keep the Green Wedge, and ensure all inappropriate development is halted before they gain too much traction”. He would “prevent overreaching property and business development” while working “to ensure our tourism industry needs are coupled with the need to protect our serene way of life”. “I will work with tourism bodies to keep our tourism industry strong and our local population happy,” Mr Brayne said. “I’ve lived on the Mornington Peninsula my entire life. I know this electorate, I know the people of this electorate and I know this electorate deserves more attention than it gets.” His news release ended with the assertion that “it’s time to get a Brayne in Parliament”.

Slip sliding away: The Mornington Yacht Club slipway has been given the all clear after a safety check. Picture: Yanni

Slipway gets the all clear A DIVER surveyed and repaired the well-worn slipway at Mornington Yacht Club last week to ensure it was capable of carrying heavy yachts. A relieved Commodore Bret Levenspiel said Thursday 27 September that the diver “did a hell of a lot of work” on the ageing timbers and supports before giving the slipway the ‘all clear’. Members were told earlier this month that the slipway pilings had deteriorated due to naval shipworm and that the crossheads and rails were “compromised”. Some of the clamps were loose and that acrow props used to secure the slipway

during the last slipping day had dislodged. There is some urgency in getting the slipway shipshape as skippers will want their boats in the water by the club’s opening day, Sunday 21 October. Commodore Levenspiel said members were “looking for a good weather window” to slip their boats last weekend and next. “The highest priority is to have our fleet return to the water timely and safely,” he said. “The safety of boats should always remain a concern as slipping is never without risk.” Stephen Taylor

Morning tea

ILLUSTRATOR and children’s author Terry Denton stepped out as the new patron of environment group BERG Mt Martha last week to teach youngsters aspects of the art of drawing. On a crisp, autumn day, in a marquee at the old campground at Balcombe Estuary, the illustrator of the Treehouse series of books had the children thinking about the estuary’s birds and animals before committing them to paper. The old master conducted two 45-minute workshops – one in the morning and one in the afternoon - for children aged seven to 14. Before and after each workshop, Denton signed copies of the children’s

Treehouse books. In the workshops, Denton showed why he was king of the kids as he had the children spellbound, teaching them the little tricks of his trade. Sometimes it was difficult to know who was having the most fun. Outside the marquee, parents chatted to BERG MM helpers and sipped tea or coffee provided by the environment group. At the end of each session, the budding artists displayed their efforts to their proud parents. And after the first session, there was time for a group photo with the artist taking centre stage.

REHAU Heritage Double Hung Windows Now Available

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. 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. Successfully breeding a koala in captivity has been eventful for Moonlit, in Tyabb-Tooradin Road, Pearcedale, as the number of wild koalas has been declining in Victoria since earlier this decade. Koalas are classed as threatened in NSW and Queensland because of the loss of their natural habitat, dog attacks, climate change and disease. Conservation parks like Moonlit rely on the international tourist market for their livelihood, with more than half its visitors coming from overseas. Jirrahlinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary, Barwon Heads, helped with the breeding by loaning a male koala to Moonlit’s director, Michael Johnson, in February. “This level of cooperation between

Nook to nurture relationship with nature A NEW feature at The Briars property, Mt Martha, is designed as a place “to bring our human and wild communities together in a more connected way, with a ‘hands-off approach”. Opening next month (Saturday 3 November) The Nature Nook is a place of contemplation at the intersection of two boardwalks. “We’d like to educate children and adults about how humans and wildlife mutually benefit and how we can interact,” Eve Kelly, secretary of the Australian Wildlife Protection Council, said of the Nook. The Nook is being developed with a community placement grant from the owner of The Briars, Mornington Peninsula Shire. The 230 hectare property off Nepean Highway includes a wildlife Sanctuary, heritage homestead, nursery, eco-living display centre, astronomy centre and a restaurant. The Nook will include seating, mini habitats for wildlife including, nest boxes, dreys (possum nests), a rope bridge, signs and cameras. “With an emphasis on using our senses - sight, smell and sound - the Nature Nook is a place to sit, be still and contemplate the wild members of our community,” Ms Kelly said. “By creating a meeting-place for wildlife and people, and presenting ways to interact using a hands-off approach, we are opening our hearts and minds to how we co-exist with wildlife and how we mutually benefit.” Ms Kelly said the Australian Wildlife Protection Council and other wildlife groups were aware of an increasing disconnect between humans and the natural world. “We see the benefits of quiet interaction with nature, to learn about our wildlife using other senses, other than touch, to listen, smell and observe wildlife in their natural environment. While we can improve their habitat for their welfare we can also appreciate them for all the wonderful benefits they provide us.” Ms Kelly said the protection council would like to include people who are interested in mindfulness and positive psychology to help provide information about nature to children.

Fountains of health WATER birds, calm on top and paddling madly underneath, appear happy and healthy in the clear water of two small lakes at Civic Reserve, Mornington. Bobbing around in small wind-driven waves, the birds pass two fountains installed by Mornington Peninsula Shire to aerate the water. Eighteen months ago the lake presented a different picture. Hundreds of birds died in and around the lake from bacteria-produced toxins. The four aerators appear to have done the trick, with Australian Wildlife Protection Council members reporting on the hatching and survival of many birds at the lakes.

‘Positive’ crime drop A 6.5 PER CENT drop in crime on the Mornington Peninsula is a “positive”, according to Local Area Commander Inspector Janene Denton. The drop was recorded in Crime Statistics Agency figures released last week for the 12 months to June. “While there is still a lot of work to be done, it is positive to see the number of recorded offences on the Mornington Peninsula area has started to decrease,” she said. “Thanks to the hard work of local police we’ve seen significant decreases in aggravated burglaries (25.3 per cent) and residential burglaries (18.8 per cent). “We know this type of offending has been a real concern for the community and reducing these types of crimes has been a focus for local police. “We’ll continue to work hard to prevent, deter, investigate and arrest offenders in order to keep people and their homes safe.” She urged anyone seeing something suspicious should call Crime Stoppers 1300 333 000.

Parties park their bids for votes Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE bid for votes at the 24 November state election is proving fruitful for train commuters with the Labor government offering 50 more spaces at Frankston station than the Liberal opposition. In mid-September the opposition pledged to build a $30 million 450-space multi-deck car park and last week this was topped by Labor coming with a 500-space car park plan. Labor’s promise will depend on the state government regaining office and the federal Labor toppling the government now led by Prime Minister Scott Morrison. While neither the government or opposition has indicated where they plan to build the car park, it is not expected to be on Public Transport Victoria land which Already provides 416 parking spaces at the station. Land owned by Frankston Council is likely to be needed for the multi-deck car park. On weekdays the existing car park is full before 6.30am and train commuters are forced to park up to 500 metres away and pay as much as $13 a day. Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan last Thursday said Frankston’s new car park will be part of the government’s $150 million Car Parks for Commuters Fund. She said the Labor government had “delivered a brand-new station with new public areas, upgraded pedestrian connections and a redeveloped Young Street”. “As part of this investment, the Labor Government also carried out research to address parking issues at the station,” Ms Allan said. “Now that this massive construction blitz is almost complete, a re-elected Labor government will get on with delivering 500 new car spaces.”

Ms Allen said the government was also “undertaking the business case and planning work necessary for a future extension of the Frankston line”. “The Labor government is investing $2 billion in the Frankston line to improve reliability and run more trains, more often. The investment is creating over 2000 jobs removing 13 level crossings, upgrading signalling and power and building 10 new stations.” More accessible and user-friendly car parking in Frankston CBD is one of the Committee for Greater Frankston’s main advocacy priorities. The president of the regional advocacy group, Fred Harrison, said a multi-deck car park - at the station – now being proposed by both sides of state politics - had been sought for many years. “Insufficient free and accessible parking has become a barrier to economic growth so [the] announcement by the state government is a good start, but it’s just a beginning as a solution to this major problem requires a much wider strategy,” he said. “Traders, business owners, workers, commuters, shoppers and visitors are telling us Frankston’s economy can’t continue to grow unless the lack of car parking is solved.” The committee has asked both the Labor state government and the Liberal opposition to extend the Frankston train line to Langwarrin and Baxter with large car parks at both locations. Mr Harrison said extending the train line required both federal and state government money. “The Liberal Party at federal and state levels, and federal Labor have all committed to the project, but the Victorian Labor government has yet to do so. We urge the state government to join the other levels of government in funding this project.”

THE gentle exercise Tai Chi is a favourite among U3A members at Mornington, Dromana and Hastings. The ancient practice, which originated in China as a martial art, has been practised for both defence and health benefits for centuries. More than 100 students recently attended a Tai Chi demonstration at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Mornington. They and external Tai Chi practitioners showcased different “forms” of the practice. “It was amazing to see so many people performing together – and an

amazing feeling to be performing as part of the large group,” Tai Chi tutor Marg Lester said. “For anyone interested in gentle exercise for the body, brain and soul, Tai Chi is certainly worth considering.” Rising Moon Tai Chi’s Jenny Harrison, who trains U3A Tai Chi tutors, demonstrated the “32 Sword” form, and also took a mini-class in cognitive function to demonstrate the benefits of Tai Chi for the brain.

Arrest of man who ‘shouldn’t be there’ A LITTLE girl ran into her mother’s bedroom at their home in Seaford and told her a man was in the house who “shouldn’t be there”, 4.15am, Wednesday 26 September. The woman told police she confronted the man who turned and calmly walked off along Seaford Road. Police arrived with the Dog Squad who arrested a Mt Martha man, 46, nearby. He was allegedly found with items from the house, including a handbag and keys. He may have entered through an unlocked internal door from the garage. Detective Senior Constable Peter Morris, of Frankston CIU, said the man was facing a string of charges, including aggravated burglary of the woman’s home, a burglary at a house in Mahoney Crescent, Seaford, as well as theft from a car and another case of theft. He was remanded in custody to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, Wednesday 3 October.

Charges over fight THREE men have been arrested following the alleged assault of two security guards at The Sands hotel, Carrum Downs, in the early hours, Saturday 25 August. Detective Senior Constable Darren Paxton, of Frankston CIU, said a male security guard attempting to eject the men and a woman was knocked out and stomped on the head while he was on the ground. A second security guard was also allegedly assaulted. The guards were taken to Frankston Hospital: one with a broken jaw, cuts and swelling, the other with a broken nose, cuts and swelling. Detective Paxton said three men, aged 26, 23 and 18, were arrested at a Carrum Downs house, Wednesday 19 September. They were charged with affray, intentionally and recklessly causing injury, assault in company and assault by kicking. They have been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in January.

Repeat drug-driver A 34-YEAR-OLD Somerville woman who tested positive to methamphetamines while driving her three young children to school on Tuesday morning 18 September had to leave the car and walk her children to school. Suspecting that the message “might

Search for owners THE owner of an “item of value” left among clothing in a black plastic bag in a donation bin at a Somerville charity store, Monday 17 September, is being sought by police. They are asked to call the property officer at Hastings police station 5970 7800. Stolen items including tools, two cars and two motorbikes were recovered during a police raid on a Seaford house, Friday 21 September. An old Australia Post-type Honda motorbike was among the items. A 29-year-old Seaford man has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on numerous charges, including burglary, theft, theft of-and-from motor vehicles, and handling stolen goods at a later date. Anyone missing a “postie” bike should call Senior Constable Caddy, Southern Metro Crime Team, on 9767 7440.

not have sunk in”, Somerville Highway Patrol police sat off the same spot before school the next day (Wednesday) and saw someone come out of the house twice to look up and down the street. Police believe they may have been spotted because, a short time later, a taxi arrived to collect the children. To check that the Don’t-DrugDrive message had sunk in, the patrol stopped by the area again on the Thursday and, a short time later, they intercepted the same woman who again tested positive for methamphetamines. Existing legislation does not allow for the immediate suspension of a driver’s licence, or the impounding of a vehicle under these circumstances. However, police say they expect the woman’s licence to be suspended for a minimum of six months upon confirmation of the laboratory results. Police say the Frankston-Mornington Peninsula Shire council areas have one of the highest drug-driving detection rates in the state. “If you are drug driving, it’s not a matter of if you’ll be detected, it’s a matter of when,” they said. “Don't take the risk of having a collision or losing your licence.”

Station lock down ROSEBUD police station was put into lock down, Wednesday 19 September, when a man in a “highly aggressive” state threatened and taunted police from the reception area, 7.25pm. After a confrontation the man, of no fixed address, was arrested, lodged in the cells, and assessed for drugs. He was then taken to hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. Charges are pending.

Monkey bike seized SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol members and Frankston Council staff worked together last week to nab the rider of a monkey bike seen riding in the Seaford Wetlands. The riders are unwelcome because they cause damage to the wetlands and equipment, with a ranger onsite at the time repairing 13 locks suspected to have been broken by the riders. Police monitoring the Seaford North Primary School speed zone in nearby Airlie Grove, saw a monkey

bike coming from the wetlands which failed to stop for them as directed, Thursday 20 September. They and the council officer followed the rider to a nearby house and found the bike hidden in a garage with the engine still warm. It was towed away and will be crushed if the $800 release fee is not paid. Parents picking up their children, and the school principal, were reportedly pleased with the police’s efforts. However, the rider’s mother was said to be less pleased with her son and his mates.

Bike’s paper plates SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol members in an unmarked car surprised the rider of an unregistered motorbike with false paper plates on Karingal Drive, Frankston, Thursday 20 September. The 42-year-old man, of Frankston, was found to be unlicensed and later tested positive to both methamphetamine and cannabis. The bike was impounded and the rider is expected to be summonsed

FIVE residents of a house in Frankston were awoken by a smoke alarm as flames from an outdoor fire pit spread to the rear bedrooms, 5.30am, Sunday 23 September. Frankston CFA crews put out the fire which started on the rear deck of the house in McMahons Road. Those at home included the mother, 46, and children aged 12-16.

Man under guard A MAN was under guard at Frankston Hospital last week after being bitten by a police dog, 1.50pm, Thursday 20 September. The 27-year-old, of no fixed address, was arrested when police cordoned off an area near the corner of Jacana and Leonard streets, Frankston, in a two-and-a-half hour hunt for an alleged house breaker. He had not been charged last week.

Fumes blamed for man’s death POISONOUS fumes from an LPG heater are being blamed for the deaths of a man and his pets asleep in a campervan at Rye last week. The man, 57, was living in the van behind a friend’s house in Sydney Street with his kelpie dog and pet bird. The friend told police he had spoken to the man about the need for proper ventilation if he was using the heater in the days leading up to his death. However, all were found dead when he checked on them, 10.30am, Monday 24 September. Leading Senior Constable Brendan Richardson, of

Dromana police, said inadequate ventilation appeared to be a factor in the tragedy and the man’s death was not being treated as suspicious. “The witness was unable to raise them and called police,” he said. “Rye CFA attended to disperse the fumes and make the scene safe for the police and ambulance and the man’s body was taken to the coroner’s office.” Police say gas heaters should be checked regularly and oxygen depletion sensors used to warn of dangers from fumes.

Cleared for building: Houses for low income families are planned on the site of the defunct Victorian Academy of Fine Arts, Crib Point which was demolished on Monday, above. Watching the site being cleared were Habitat for Humanity Victoria’s executive director Philip Curtis, board chair Rob Mclauchlan, Chris Wyatt, Ian Storey, Georgia McIntosh and Julie Hall.

New homes for families at Crib Point Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MODERN and affordable homes for low-income families will be built on the site of a former college at Crib Point which was demolished last week. Habit for Humanity is building “at least five” single detached homes on the 3300 square metre property formerly occupied by the Victorian Academy of Fine Arts, in Stony Point Road. The site has been abandoned for about seven years. “Having a safe and secure home is

fundamentally linked to our well-being,” Habitat for Humanity Victoria’s executive director Philip Curtis said. He could not say how many homes would be built before town planning approvals were granted but that the three-bedroom units were expected to be completed early next year. Nor could he comment on the exact cost but said the units were bought for 95 per cent of the current market rate, with the new owners receiving interest-free finance. “That’s how our model works,” Mr Curtis said. “It makes the purchase affordable.

“We partner families to become owners of their own homes.” The individual detached houses will come with their own title and run alongside a common driveway. Crib Point has played a significant part in Habitat for Humanity’s history. It was the site of the group’s first house in Victoria – in Disney Street in 1995. A second house was built in Crib Point a few years later. So far, the organisation has built nine houses for low-income families on the Mornington Peninsula. Mr Curtis said trends indicated a chronic shortage of social and afford-

able housing in Australia – up to an expected 600,000 units by 2029. “Low income families living in housing stress deserve and are entitled to have better access to affordable housing," he said. "Everyone has a right to a decent place to live in and call home.” The Mornington Peninsula chapter of Habitat for Humanity Victoria is behind the Crib Point development. It has already helped build three houses in the area, along with two in Rosebud and two in Mornington. The chapter has also provided more than $300,000 to support other affordable housing projects in Victoria.

It was previously led by the late Mavis Peet who was instrumental in establishing the Habitat for Humanity Rosebud Restore - which will mark 10 years’ of activity in November – and will be the main source of finance for the Crib Point project. Habitat for Humanity Victoria, which recently handed over its 60th house in the state, last week presented a house to a homeless father and two of his daughters at Yea. As part of its global operations, every time a house is completed in Victoria Habitat pays for one in Cambodia. Advertisement

Benefits for all when generations meet

Programs support Defence families A $15,000 grant to Cerberus Cottage will enable it to deliver courses, gatherings, events and services for Australian Defence Force families. The money for the HMAS Cerberus-based centre is part of $1.4 million provided by the federal government for not-for-profit organisations to deliver community programs for Defence families. “The family support funding will enable [us] to provide a multitude of programs, including our youth connection program, fire safety program, cooking and budget courses, AUSLAN, swimming lessons, gymnastics

WHEN generations come together, good things happen. That’s the message being learned through a social program at CraigCare Mornington in which youngsters from the Pelican Child Care Early Learning Centre visit the elderly residents to talk, read and sing. “Each week the children spend time with residents playing, reading stories, singing and making arts and crafts together,” manager Sarah Mitchel said.

Timely advice: CraigCare resident Maureen Hall, 86, shows Albie and Jack how to make a paper plane. Picture: Yanni

“This brings great joy to both the children and the residents and they look forward to it each week.” The youngsters absorb traditions and wisdom, while developing respect and empathy. At the same time, the elderly residents expand their social networks, enjoy the activities and stay physically active, which improves their health.

The visits also help dispel agerelated myths and stereotypes – to everyone’s benefit. Feedback from residents and relatives has been positive, with comments including: “It is a great initiative between the child care centre and the facility”; “great fun”, and “I love them – it makes me feel young again” being heard.

Live happy at St John’s Village – “The perfect place to live” “FOUR years ago, Harry and I made a life-changing decision to leave our comfortable family home in the midst of an acre of tranquil gardens and enter a Retirement Village. After much reflection, we decided on St. John’s Village in Somerville, which offered all the facilities we desired. Adjacent to good medical and shopping centres, and set on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, with ready access to family members in suburban Melbourne, it was the perfect place to begin our new life. The transition to our well-designed new home at St. John’s has been beyond our dreams. It’s a wonderful feeling to continue our association with activities within the Mornington Peninsula Shire, and also be part of any of the groups St. John’s offers; art, computer, bible studies, knitting, drama, exercise, bowls and the list goes on! Friendship, care and warmth surround us here – and every day we give thanks.” Valda Cole OAM “My husband and I came to St John’s Retirement Village in Somerville in December 2004 after looking through a number of other villages. We are very happy here and have found that one of the great things about St John’s is the friendly atmosphere and the fact that there are lovely areas throughout the Village with beautiful trees and gardens. So many villages are so built up that there are very few open spaces. The shops are quite close and we have a Village bus which caters for

those of us no longer driving. We enjoy going on trips and outings and, of course, there are lots of groups and activities in which we can choose to be involved or not, but we are never bored!” Joan Rowney St. John’s Retirement Village has been improving the lifestyles of retirees on the Mornington Peninsula for over thirty-five years. From single bedroom units, right through to large two bedroom units with study and attached lock up garage, we will have the unit to suit you, or if you require a little extra assistance, we have single and double serviced apartments.

NICHOLS CROWDER has achieved its 13th consecutive year of industry accolades, receiving another four awards at the 2018 Real Estate Institute of Victoria Commercial and Industrial Marketing Awards. The awards recognise the most effective commercial and industrial property marketing campaigns for the year across a range of categories. Since 2006, Nichols Crowder has received 34 REIV marketing awards. “We are extremely proud to have received these coveted awards, it is great to be recognised for our consistent delivery of innovative and effective marketing campaigns for our clients.” Said Matt Nichols, Managing Director of Nichols Crowder. At the 2018 awards, the company took home awards for the best retail sales campaign - budget under $10,000 - for the property auctioned at 42-44 Ranelagh Drive, Mt Eliza. “Drawing on our experience and knowledge of buyers in the market, we knew that investors spend most of their time during a campaign analysing the various risks”Michael Crowder added “We therefore focused our communication on countering those risk areas. Our headline of “The Village Duo” attracted attention, and we had great enquiry leading to a wellattended auction that produced a fantastic result.”n

Experience the boutique retirement dream at Mountain View Leongatha

Then look no further, we can h the Bahamas, we hear

MOUNTAIN View Leongatha is a boutique lifestyle retirement village. It will only have 45 villas on completion and is very unique compared to the many larger villages that exist. It is for this reason that many have made the move into this exclusive community. A lifestyle village for the active retiree or semi-retired who embraces life. Currently, Mountain View Leongatha has 43 residents occupying 26 villas. Mountain View Leongatha offers resort living everyday with the Community Centre operational right from the start which in turn has brought new residents in sooner rather than later. Family and friends are often seen using the salt-chlorinated pool, bowling green, lounge/dining and games areas – it really is the hub of many activities. It is also a pet friendly village. Much thought was given to the interior design of the Villas which include 24 hour emergency call systems, contemporary kitchens, stylish living areas, spacious bathrooms and comfortable bedrooms and parking spaces or garages. The focus of building the villas was to enhance your lifestyle, security and freedom. Mountain View Leongatha helps people personalise their retirement,

offering two financial options to suit your budget. The money saved when buying in at a lower price because we are regional, allows residents the opportunity to invest their savings and fund their lifestyle. We can provide assistance to help you understand the legal, financial and service aspects when considering the benefits of a lifestyle change and answer any queries you may have regarding retirement living. Mountain View Leongatha is a lifestyle investment. We have had many residents move from the likes of Merimbula, Mount Martha, Bendigo, Lilydale & Pakenham. Many have chosen Leongatha as their new address because they know what South Gippsland has to offer – they may have holidayed here in the past or have just decided to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city yet not be too far to return to Melbourne for day trips. Many have decided on the seachange, tree-change and me-change. Leongatha township is a lovely country town with a range of facilities and great local hospital which recently had a $30m redevelopment. Many great day trips are available within the Gippsland area and Melbourne is very accessible if the city beckons. Travel seems to be high on the list of things to do. Only a 30 minute trip from Leongatha and you will be on

the coast with Wilsons Promontory National Park and Philip Island is not too far to also explore. So the choice is yours, either sea-change or treechange all in one. With only 9 Villas remaining we suggest that you consider us soon as the option to purchase will be reducing day by day due to this being a smaller boutique lifestyle village. Call now on 1300 306 255 to make an appointment or check out our website www.mountainviewleongatha.com.au and view the villas and village.

Workshops and walks in an unexpected location SOUTHERN Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (SMCT), manages nine cemeteries, including Springvale Botanical Cemetery (SBC), and is a non-profit, community-based organisation that is committed to caring for every member of our community throughout all of life’s stages. Anyone who visits to take a tour or attend our free, informative workshops is surprised by how beautiful and special a place it is. The comments we hear most are usually centred around what an enjoyable and interesting time they’ve had, and that it is not at all what they expected to find in a cemetery. SMCT Community Engagement Officer, Sunita Varlamos said, “If you haven’t been to Springvale Botanical Cemetery lately, you really must join a tour or a workshop, and be ready for something different! Not only is there a vast botanical parkland to explore, but people are impressed by our on-site Café, Vita et flores and the multitude of interesting historical facts, sights and topics on offer.” During the Victorian Seniors Festival, a number of free workshops will be offered that are designed to help people think about their life, their stories and what matters to them. We know that the more prepared we are when it comes to planning our life matters, the higher our peace of mind and comfort. “We have developed workshops that can help attendees to think about, plan, contemplate and create various aspects of their life journey so that their choices are documented and understood,” said Sunita.

Everyone is welcome to attend one, or all, of the workshops which are centered around the MYLifebook booklet. MYLifebook is a tool that helps people to put their affairs in order in a thoughtful way, that is personal to them. “Why not combine a workshop with a walk around the gardens or stop for coffee at Café Vita?” said Sunita, “or if you’d rather take it easy, we offer community groups or individuals, free bus tours with over a century of fascinating insights into Springvale Botanical Cemetery.” Workshop details My Story: Our lives are a series of stories from which we create meaning and purpose, but sometimes it’s hard to get started with our own story. This workshop provides an opportunity to use our hearts and minds to consider the story of our lives and begin the experience of writing it in ways that are meaningful and personal. My Traditions: Rituals and ceremonies are important and have many benefits for individuals, family and community. In a fast-paced world it is difficult to know how to create and sustain rituals that can mark our significant life events. This workshop highlights the value of rituals and how to create your own. My Wishes: The more we can do to think about how we would like our lives celebrated, the more likely our family and friends can provide our final wishes. It’s important to think about this time, document it and get on with life. This workshop provides the knowledge and confidence to plan a funeral and final resting place for yourself or loved

one. It’s delivered in a sensitive and thoughtful way, so you can plan an occasion that is suited to your personality and style Here’s what recent attendees at our workshops had to say:

“The staff are friendly and supportive.” “A good starting point for developing my story and what needs to be included to make it engaging.” “A great info-packed introduction.”

“Well organised and planned, nonthreatening and informative.” Bookings Book a workshop, or a tour, here: http://smct.org.au/workshops.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Weekly picture show to come to Frankston Compiled by Brodie Cowburn A PROPOSAL is on foot to in augurate a weekly picture show at Frankston. The details are being worked out by the Frankston Progress Association and Major Conder, O.C. Langwarrin camp, and the proceeds are to be equally divided between the camp and the progress association. *** MRS Reynolds has been appointed agent, for the Royal Insurance Co. for Frankston district. *** OWING to the Rev E Tonkin taking the church anniversary services at Cheltenham on. Sunday next, the Rev C. Bridgborne will conduct both services in the Frankston Methodist Church. He will also preach at Somerville in the afternoon. *** MR A L. McFarlane was the successful candidate in an examination recently held for the position of a junior clerk in the local branch of the State Savings bank, and commenced his duties on the 1st inst. Mr McFarlane is to be congratulated upon his success. Mr Reg. Coxall, his predecessor, who has enlisted for active service, goes into camp on 13th inst, but still retains his position as an officer of the bank. *** THE last of a series of euchre parties and dances under the auspices of the Frankston Wattle Club was held last week. Mrs Lee gained the lady’s prize for

winning the greatest number of games during the tournament, with Mrs Thompson runner up. The gents prize was annexed by Mr T. Thompson, with Mr G. Darcey as runner up. Another series will commence next Thursday evening. *** ON Monday morning a fire occurred in a house on the Cranbourne road, owned by Mr Scarborough, senr, and occupied by Mr Goodwin and family. The cause of the fire was the over heating of an incubator, and the occupant had a narrow escape. Some of the furniture was saved, but the building was completely demolished. Neither the house or furniture were insured. *** WORD has been received from the defence authorities by Mr Alf. Jones that his son, Pte. W. J. Jones had been wounded in France, and admitted to hospital. Later a private cable was received from Pte. Jones, stating that he is doing well. *** BUY War Loan bonds, and the world buys with you; hold back and you hold back alone. A War Loan Bond is as mighty as the sword. Tis better to have bought the smallest War Loan Bond than never to have bought at all. *** Repatriation Concert at Frankston. THE first of a series of concerts held throughout this shire was held at Frankston on Monday evening. There was a good attendance, the

chair being occupied by Cr Mason, who applogised tor the unavoidable absence of the president of the shire, Cr C Murray. The platform was occupied by Lieutenant Bolton Warrant Officer David and Cr Oates A capital programme of songs was gone through, and the Langwarrin Band rendered good service in opening and closing the meeting with the National Anthem. In his opening remarks the chairman explained that it had been published that Captain Bruce and Lieut Colonel Bolton would be present, but as they were engaged that evening in other parts of the electorate it was found impossible for them to be here, but the former gentleman fully intended to attend a meeting later on. Song and encore - Drum Major Scarfe. Lieutenant Bolton was sure that they felt joyful that evening in looking at the general aspect of the war but we must not forget that we must keep on going till we push the Hun to Berlin. We have been up against it for four years, but now we have turned and it remains to be seen if Germany can withstand the Allies, as they have done. He doubted it. We still want men, not so much boys of 18 to 21 but mature men plenty of whom may yet be seen frequently on race courses and football grounds. He had heard it said reinforcements are not necessary, but the men that ought to know, are those that are here. If reinforcements had been kept

up many of those who took part in the first engagements would be alive today. On the 17th of next month the Government has decided to give voluntary recruiting the last chance. They have instituted the voluntary ballot system. Without your support it will be a failure, but with it a success In Frankston sub-division there are 1043 eligible men, and the annual quota is 7 men a month and it ought not be difficult to get that number. He said the system was giving each one a sporting chance and appealed to those present to take that chance for the sake of those brave lads who are there. It was a unique opportunity for every one first to find his own soul and then prove himself a man. (applause). Sergeant Widburn—Song and several encores. A collection was then taken up in the hall to defray expenses which resulted in £2 15s. Sergeant Lane—Song and encore. Warrant Officer David then gave stirring address on the object of the meeting - to gain recruits, and also on the splendid work achieved by the Red Cross women in the years that have passed. It was not possible to convey the real appreciation of the Australian lads for the good things sent them. Those that had been prisoners of war and been released had stated that had it not been for the goods sent by the Red Cross workers they would have died. He vividly pictured a hospital ward there he had been in 1915, when the

Xmas Billies had been distributed to the sick and wounded and likened it to of the delight of children reviewing it their gifts on a Xmas morning. He appealed to those who perhaps were not eligible themselves yet know some that were to try and persuade them to go and do his bit. The Union Jack stands for the symbol of the nation. To those who were unable to go he urged to support the war loan. By doing so they would be doing their bit to help the boys at the front. The Tank would be along on the 8th when all would have an opportunity of contributing. He concluded by passing an enconium on the boys at the front for their unfailing good humor and utter fearlessness. Mr L. Payne—Song and encore. The chairman said he felt that no one present would regret attending the meeting and if there were any elegible men present they would be constrained to go and do their bit. Cr Oates in proposing a vote of thanks to the speakers and singers spoke on the necessity of raising our proportion of the required quota and urged those that intended to do so to state that it was to be credited to the Shire of Frankston and Hastings so as to entitle us to the credit of it. The vote was carried by acclamation. Lieutenant Bolton moved a vote of thanks to the chairman and the proceedings terminated with the National Anthem by the band. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 5 October 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Confessions of a Sporting Dud By Stuart McCullough IT’S a magical time of year. By which I mean the words ‘abracadabra’ can be uttered and the cruel winter weather instantly disappears, to be replaced by a glorious spring. The sun rises earlier and sets a little later. The scent of cut grass assaults the senses and the eternal fashion statement that is ‘shorts and long socks’ is uttered with confidence. It’s a great time of year. Then, of course, there are the football finals. At times like these, it’s hard not to reflect on my own athletic career. Having reflected, I can’t say I like what I see. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that I’m horrified by my own reflection. Truth is, I wasn’t much of a footballer. Or netballer, cricketer or darts-thrower either. I was hopeless at badminton, swimming and cross-country running. Soccer, judo, horseback riding, curling, archery and BMX riding too – I was terrible at all of them. There’s an expectation that, one day, we’ll all find our perfect sport. It’s a bit like love, really, in that it’s something we believe will happen to all of us at some point. But for some of us, we never find our ideal sport. Goodness knows I tried. My time at the Tyabb Junior Football Club is probably best forgotten. Don’t get me wrong, they were great people. Sporting clubs are amazing, in that they’re built on good will of volunteers. But if the true test of any experience is whether you left something in a better state than you found it, I can’t say that my time as a member of the Tyabb footy club can be described this way. The harsh truth is that, despite my best efforts, I

simply wasn’t very good at football. I arrived at the club completely unprepared. I had played kick to kick in the backyard, usually in my gumboots. Unlike the ball, which absorbed water until it was so dense

with moisture that attempting to mark it was like trying to catch an airborne cow, I absorbed very little about the game. For starters, I had no idea at all what any of the positions were. You don’t need positions in kick to kick.

You just have to stand there and wait for a waterlogged missile to knock you over. The coach told me I was going to be playing in the back pocket. I was wearing shorts that, so far as I knew, did not have any pockets at all, much less a back pocket. As the team surged out of the change rooms and roared onto the field, I remember that everyone else seemed to know what they were doing. Clearly, they understood what the positions were. Even though it wasn’t something taught at school, they had managed to pick up this vital information somewhere along the line whereas I had remained totally oblivious. As everyone else trotted off to their designated position, I took flight towards the car park. Although I was off to seek advice, it must have appeared to the coach that I was doing a runner. Or, given the inclement weather, that I had decided that the best position for me was the back seat of the family Kombi, preferably with the heater on. Which, in fairness, it probably was. That’s the thing I remember the most about my junior football career – the weather. It was always incredibly cold and wet and muddy. More often than not, our opponent wasn’t the other team but the elements themselves, as we did all we could to endure four quarters of discomfort. Some days were so cold that you couldn’t feel your hands at all. On those mornings, they’d bring out bowls of warm water between quarters to help you get some feeling back into your fingers. It was only a temporary relief. It was only seconds before the first

quarter was due to start. As everyone else took their spot on the field, I ran to my father to enquire where the ‘back pocket’ was. He pointed somewhere off into the distance when a map, compass and a backpack with supplies would have been far more helpful. Nevertheless, I took his advice and ran to the farthest point of the oval and waited, assuming that someone would tell me if I got it wrong. As it turned out, it was the first of many, many trips to the back pocket. I appreciate that there’s no ‘I’ in ‘team’ and that every position plays a crucial role. However, junior football is extremely hierarchical and there are a number of highly coveted glamour positions: namely ruck, rover and – the most glamorous of all – ruck rover. On the other hand, ‘back pocket’ was generally considered to be one notch above cutting up the oranges. Ironically, I think I would have done a great job with the oranges. Rather than the expected plate of dissected navels, I’d have thrown in some watermelon and pomegranate for variety. Perhaps a sprig of mint too, to make the presentation extra special. I watched the football this September. Naturally, I did so from the safety of my living room and not a Kombi and the only back pocket I encountered was the one I was sitting on. As I sat with my plate of cut up oranges, watermelon and pomegranate with my sprig of mint, I thought back to my own time as an elite footballer and smiled. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Division Two: A season in review DIVISION TWO

Tigers roared: Dromana will be moving up to Division one after taking out the 2018 Division Two premiership. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By Brodie Cowburn Dromana THIS season’s dominant side were worthy and deserving premiers. Led by playing coach Rikki Johnston, the Tigers were the best side throughout the entirety of the home and away season, and only suffered one loss before the start of their finals campaign. They struggled at times when playing Red Hill throughout the season, but got things right against the Hillmen when it counted in the Grand Final. Even without gun forward Ethan Johnstone for a large period in the Grand Final, Dromana still found the scoreboard and had enough in them to secure the win, That grit and determination should be enough to see them be competitive in Division One for next season. 38 year old Ben Holmes was also a revelation for the Tigers this season up forward, sharing the load with Johnstone and booting 49 majors. Red Hill DESPITE falling short in the Grand Final, Red Hill can hold their heads high after a phenomenal season. The Hillmen went on a mid-season rampage, going on a long undefeated run while putting plenty of games through younger players. Some of their standouts for the season included Chris Irving and finals specialist Dylan Hoare. The Mold brothers also played a starring role in the Hillmen’s brilliant year. Jonah Siverson led the line in defence, and established himself as possibly the best man on man defender in the division. Coach Jamie Mollo was rightfully awarded the coach of the year award at the end of year awards night. Under his guidance, the Hillmen will be right in among the contenders in season 2019. Karingal A YEAR of such promise for the Bulls ended up ending in the most disappointing fashion possible, with two poor back to back losses in finals. Despite the tough conclusion, there were plenty of positives to be found in the Bulls 2018 year. Andrew Mathers nearly claimed the league best and fairest, and finished just one vote behind the eventual winner. Another bright light was the inclusion of Robert Mcewin late in the year, as he kicked four goals in their last finals loss. Despite their tough losses in finals in the Seniors’, the Bulls’ Reserves and under-19s sides claimed premierships in 2018. Next season will be a year of change for the Bulls, as they welcome back Brendan Dunne to the club as new head

coach, taking over from Brett Dunne. Chelsea CHELSEA would have felt good about a relatively successful year in 2018, in which they consistently hung around the top end of the ladder without really pushing into the top two if it weren’t for their final game. After hanging around the double chance spots for most of the season, the Seagulls were made to play in an elimination final against Langwarrin, and fell short at the first hurdle. The Kangaroos got the early jump on them, and a year of hard work went down the drain. Despite their disappointing finish, Chelsea have plenty to smile about. Curtis Bywater booted 65 goals this season for the goals and finished 6th in the league best and fairest. Langwarrin LANGWARRIN were a long shot to make finals with just a couple of games remaining in the home and away season. After a tough run in the middle of year and bad luck with injury, the Kangaroos bounced back to snatch a handful of wins in the closing rounds. They snuck into finals over Hastings and ruffled plenty of feathers from there. Making it to the preliminary final was a

stunning result for Kangaroos, and will give them plenty of confidence going into next year. Coaches Josh Beard and Blake McCormack will both go around for season 2019, providing stability to what should be a promising campaign next season for Langwarrin. Superstar goalscorer Jesse Murphy has also signed on for next season, a massive boost for the Kangaroos given his outstanding year.

dale in which they languished near the bottom four for the entirety of the season. The shining light for the year was bringing in former North Melbourne forward Drew Petrie for a cameo appearance, drawing a big crowd to their home game. The club’s womens side provided the biggest highlight of the year, when they took out the Division Three premiership over Hastings.

Devon Meadows MICHAEL Theodoridis’ impressive 60 goal haul was the biggest positive from a shaky season by the Panthers. Devon Meadows were inconsistent and patchy all season long. They will seek a fresh start for next season under new coach Neil Craig, an experienced name in the MPNFL with Mt Eliza and Mornington.

Hastings THE Blues endured a horror year off the field in 2018, and will look forward to a fresh start next season. Early salary cap dramas overshadowed their off season, and the club was rocked by the passing of president Ken Stratton in the middle of the season. The club enjoyed some success on the field, but ultimately fell just short of finals. Things look to have got off to a great start for season 2019 though, with the signing of former Coleman Medallist Brendan Fevola to the club. His goalkicking prowess will be a massive advantage, and his star power should see Thomas Barclay oval packed to capacity each week.

Somerville A DECENT start to the year saw Somerville claim four wins from eight games, before they only won one of their next seven. Their decent percentage and competitive spirit kept them from finishing as low as 11th, and they will be looking for a much better result from next season. They will be without coach Andrejs Everitt next season, as he jumped ship to Yarraville-Seddon in the Western Region Football League.

Tyabb AN eleventh place finish does not reflect the quality that the Yabbies began to show towards the end of the year. A much improved Tyabb side will look to claim some scalps next season. Their best performer was Ethan Rahilly, who finished equal sixth in the league best and fairest.

Pearcedale A DISAPPOINTING year for Pearce-

Rye RYE ended up stuck near the bottom of the ladder, but had plenty of positives. Adam Kirkwood took out a deserved league best and fairest award, and will be returning for season 2019 with the added responsibility of coaching.

Crib Point A TOUGH year for Crib Point ended with just one win and a last placed finish, a mile away from their next best competitor. Their win over Devon Meadows was the highlight of a year full of struggles and thrashings. A 185 point loss to Dromana was rock bottom. The Magpies have a lot of work ahead of them.

Dan’s the man for Frankston Dolphins Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Dolphins Football Club have announced that former senior assistant Danny Ryan will take on the role of Senior Coach for the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Ryan will take over the position from Adam Skrobolak, who recently departed the club to join the coaching ranks at St Kilda full time. Ryan has an impressive resume of

work under his belt, bringing coaching experience from the TAC Cup and the AFL into the role. Ryan was the senior assistant of the Dolphins in 2018, looking after the midfield group. In 2017, Ryan was the senior assistant coach at Casey Demons in the VFL after a two year stint at the Sandringham Dragons. Ryan has also spent time in the AFL system working for St Kilda and Port Adelaide. “I am extremely excited to be appointed as Senior Coach of the

Frankston FC and fully understand the challenge as we continue our journey towards building a great club, people and players involved in the VFL competition. Our aim is to create a sustainable elite football environment where players can challenge & develop themselves at VFL level and as a group work to become a great football club both on and off field,” Ryan said. “Personally, the opportunity to coach in my own right and lead the

on-field direction of such a proud club is an honour and I appreciate the opportunity granted to me. Now to roll up the sleeves and get started on the hard work in front of us.” Frankston Dolphins general manager Gary Buckenara said “I am looking forward to working with Danny in the next phase of the Frankston Football Clubs journey in 2019 and 2020. Danny will bring a tremendous football coaching & development background to the club and the team

as we continue to build this club into the future. There is plenty of hard work ahead of everyone involved at the club as we piece together the rest of the team on and off-field. Obviously, Danny’s appointment as our senior coach is really the important appointment for us and now we can start to place the rest of the pieces in place to complete our requirements.” Dolphins pre-season training will commence on Monday 12 November.

D-day next week for Pines SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines’ future hangs in the balance after last week’s AGM left the club without a president. “Boz” Osmancevic, interim president since August, was the only candidate for the position and after accepting the nomination he outlined how he wanted to run the club which sparked argument and the ensuing turmoil left Pines in limbo. As reported last week the only member of the “old guard” that Osmancevic wanted on his committee was Tommy Mitchell. However, long-serving administrator Steve Spencer was the only nomination for vice-president and his acceptance presented Osmancevic with a problem. It was resolved in farcical circumstances. Osmancevic made it clear that he would step down if he didn’t get his way. Former president Gary Hodgson and his wife Pip told the meeting that in their view Osmancevic represented the only future for Pines and the Hodgsons were adamant that they would not stand for office. “We can’t survive with just three people running the club,” Hodgson said, arguing that Pines needed to grow not merely lurch from one season to the next with its future under constant threat. Yet division remained with some members arguing that they had a right to nominate and if elected participate in the decision-making process. Osmancevic did not dispute this view but made it clear that he would not work with them. Spencer resigned and left the meeting but when he returned a few minutes later he announced that he’d changed his mind and would serve as vice-president. That triggered Osmancevic’s resignation and a walkout from his supporters. The meeting ended with Spencer as vice-president and Mitchell and Lee Davies on the general committee. Pines were left without a president, secretary or treasurer. An extraordinary AGM will now be held at the club’s Monterey Reserve headquarters at 7pm on Thursday 11 October. Spencer dropped a bombshell after the meeting by announcing that he believes former vice-president Daniel

Plaiche would make a suitable candidate as president. Plaiche was last on the club’s executive in 2016 during a failed attempt to embrace the Mauritian community. Spencer and Plaiche were due to discuss the matter as we went to print. “The last time Daniel was on the committee there was a clash with Gary and Pip over the way decisions were made but that won’t be the case now,” Spencer said. “But if Daniel says he can’t do it then I’ll ring ‘Boz’ and say ‘the keys are here. Come and get them.’ “I’m a realist and I know I can’t do this on my own.” Spencer anticipates Osmancevic appearing at the extraordinary AGM and running for president again. At last week’s AGM former club president and life member Alan Hodkinson chaired part of the meeting as elections for a new committee were held. Hodkinson explained to Osmancevic that the option of signing up enough members to give himself the numbers to implement his plan remained on the table. Osmancevic’s supporters include local businessman Arthur Proios who is keen to be part of the new committee. Proios is a director of Frankston-

based Discover Residential, part of the Eview Group, and it is thought that the real estate company would become a major sponsor if Osmancevic is at the helm. Despite the turmoil both factions have been busy contacting their preferred candidates for the senior coaching role. Last Friday Spencer sounded out Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor about the Pines’ senior post currently held by Paul Williams. Taylor and Williams have a longstanding friendship and have worked together before. On Saturday Spencer spoke to Williams and it is understood that he is prepared to work as an assistant to Taylor should the latter be appointed. The irony of this situation won’t be lost on Skye United as both Taylor and Williams are believed to have applied for the senior coaching job there. Osmancevic met with former Pines player Peter Blasby a fortnight back and is believed to have offered him the senior coaching position. Blasby is holidaying in the UK but is understood to be keen to have another former Pines player as his assistant. That player is Mornington midfielder Craig Smart while defenders Danny Black and Andy McIntyre are among a

group of potential signing targets. However Blasby’s skills as a goalkeeping coach are well known and it is believed that two other local clubs are keen to secure his services. In NPL2 news Langwarrin still is conducting interviews for an under20s coach. The club is keen to foster continuity in player development and sent out pre-trial offers to a large group of last season’s players from under-12 to under-18 levels with 48 offers taken up. Trials started this week for under-12, under-13, under-14, under-15 and under-16 squads. In NPLW news Southern United announced a series of coaching appointments last week. Senior player Olivia Groves will coach the under-12s in 2019 after coaching the under-16s this year. Groves has been a junior coach at Nunawading City and assists Timothy Dakis with Football Technique Australia at Carwatha College in Noble Park. The 19-year-old expects to complete her AFC C licence course by the end of the year. “I couldn’t resist an opportunity to remain involved with Southern United’s juniors and continue to teach at a club I love,” Groves said.

Southern also announced that Ernie Cerda has been appointed head coach of the under-14 squad. Cerda’s football connection can be traced back to his native Chile. He arrived in Australia in the 1980s and his playing CV includes stints at Richmond and Bulleen. Cerda has been involved with the women’s game for the past 12 years having spent seven years at Peninsula Strikers before working as senior development coach at Skye United. Debbie Nichols and Emma Bracken will coach Southern’s under-16s for the 2019 season. They are foundation coaches with the local women’s consortium club having taken charge of the under-13 squad for the competition’s inaugural 2016 season. That squad is the most successful in Southern’s short history twice winning championships and reaching two Grand Finals in the past two seasons winning in 2017. Nichols is a former Matilda and an FFV Hall of Fame inductee who has won two Women’s Premier League Coach of the Year awards and has been head coach at Casey Comets and Sandringham. Bracken played with Langwarrin, Moorabbin, Waverley, South Melbourne and Casey Comets. She has coached the women’s reserves at Comets and has worked as a coach with FFV. Nichols and Bracken are part of a long-term strategy to develop their squad into senior players and results to date have been spectacular. Last week’s coaching announcements resulted from a review undertaken by technical director Harry Chalkitis, former head coach of Victoria’s NTC women’s program. Chalkitis was recommended to Southern by FFV and the club hopes to finalise its under-19s and senior squad coaching appointments this week. In State 3 South-East news Skye United will conduct interviews this week for candidates on its shortlist for senior coach and expects to make an announcement next week. In State 4 South news George Hughes is a firm favourite to be appointed senior coach of Baxter. The former Peninsula Strikers and Brandon Park head coach is set to have talks this week with Baxter president Justin Brown and director of coaching Billy McLeod.

“Near perfect”season for girls MORNINGTON Peninsula Hockey Club’s under-16 Girls’ Green pennant team completed a near perfect season as they took out a nail-biting grand final victory over Doncaster on Friday 7 September. It wasn’t until the final five minutes that Mornington were able to break through Doncaster’s defence to score the decisive goal that secured them the victory at the Dandenong Hockey Centre. The grand final game was even throughout, but Mornington managed to hold off Doncaster until the final whistle and claimed the victory 1-0. Mornington Peninsula Hockey Club secretary Cheryle Bishop said, “It was an amazing display of courage, determination and self-belief”. Winning the grand final was also a fitting end for four of the players who were playing in their last junior game. The grand final winning team consisted of: Tahlia Bradford, Vanessa Carlyle, Erin Case, Miah Coillet, Lily Fielden, Lana Harris-Dent, Melody Johnson, Emma Lewis, Mia McWilliams, Maya Rich-Danks, Emma Sherrington, Kasey Smith, Jessica Stepanavicius, Amy Uren, Carolyn Van Der Bijl, and Aleisha Walters. Sam Thomson coached the side and Cam Bradford was the team manager. Summer Hockey is also set to commence on Wednesday 10 October at the Peninsula Hockey Centre. For further details contact Cheryle Bishop on 9766 7478. Ben Triandafillou

Martin adds Stakes victory to list MORNINGTON-based apprentice jockey, Jack Martin, has landed the biggest win of his career when claiming the Listed $100,000 Tokyo City Cup (1800m) at Morphettville on Saturday 22 September. The gun apprentice continued his outstanding partnership with the Gelagotis-trained Moss ‘n’ Dale to score a convincing 1.9-length victory and bring up his fifth victory from seven rides aboard the son of Castledale. Martin, 23, said it was a massive thrill to win his first stakes race. “It’s what every jockey aims to achieve and to do that so early in my career I’m pretty proud and privileged to do so,” he said. “To do it on Moss ‘n’ Dale, who has been really good for me in my career when I’ve had several stoppages and injuries along the way, just made it even better.” Martin has had a stop-start year since suffering a fall at Hamilton last November. Martin spent three months on the sidelines following the incident and was again forced out of the saddle in June for a further two months to remove a plate in his shoulder.

The young jock returned to the races in August and has been quick to find his feet again by scoring back-to-back victories aboard Moss ‘n’ Dale. The pair combined to win the $120,000 Craig Opie Cup (1600m) at Moonee Valley on Saturday 8 September and will now be aiming towards next month’s Group Three $500,000 Craven Plate (2000m) at Randwick, one of the feature races on The Everest undercard. “It’ll be his first time over 2000m, but the way he ran through the line last start makes me think that it shouldn’t be an issue,” Martin said. Martin said the spring is a highly competitive period for jockeys looking for rides but the booking of Moss ‘n’ Dale would currently be his biggest ride for the upcoming spring. “It’s a hard time of the year with every jockey aiming to ride in the spring, but if [Moss ‘n’ Dale] can run well in Sydney, who knows where he might take me,” he said. “Rides are limited as an apprentice [in the spring], but you never know what might come up and I might be able to pick up a ride. Pat [Carey], my boss, might have something come up so if something does arise I’ll be grabbing it with both hands. “I’ve just got to keep doing well and hopefully everything will fall into place.” Ben Triandafillou

Rosebud golfers find their rhythm ROSEBUD Country Club members James Marchesani and Andrew Schonewille have continued to produce top results on the PGA Tour China. Marchesani and Schonewille competed at the Suzhou Open which was played at the Suzhou Jinji Lake International Golf Club on Sunday 2 September. Marchesani finished T-18 on eight under, while Schonewille, who had his best result of the season, finished T-23 on seven under. Following the Suzhou Open, Marchesani then finished T-4 in the PGA

Tour China’s Qinhuangdao Championship held at the Qinhuangdao Golf Club on Tuesday 11 September. After entering the weekend at one under and shooting rounds of 71 and 72, Marchesani finished off strongly with rounds of 68 and 69 to finish eight under par. New Zealand’s Nick Voke won the tournament with an overall score of 12 under par. Rosebud Country Club’s general manager Danny McGrath said, “It’s fantastic seeing James and Andrew producing strong performances on a tour with so much on the line, a start on the Web.com tour in the US”.

Schonewille will now enter the Macau Championships which is being played at Caesars Golf Macau on Thursday 27 September, while Marchesani has gained a start at the Taiwan Masters on the Asian Tour with a prize purse of US$850,000 (AUD$1.2 million). Marchesani’s Order of Merit finish on the European Tour last season has also allowed him to gain a start at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship which begins on Thursday 4 October. The prestigious event worth $5 million Euros (AUD$8 million) is being played at the Old Course at St

Andrews, the Championship Course at Carnoustie and Kingsbarns Golf Links in Scotland. Marchesani will then travel to Hong Kong to defend his Clearwater Bay Open title on Thursday 11 October. The season-ending Clearwater Bay Open, held at The Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club, will offer the biggest-ever purse at a PGA Tour China event of US$292,000 (AUD$400,000). Tournament Organising Committee chairman, David Hui, said the club is looking forward to hosting The Clearwater Bay Open for the third time.

“We also welcome back James Marchesani to defend his title after his great win last year,” he said. “We’ll put on a spectacular event to provide the perfect ending to the Tour as it grows from strength to strength.” The top-five on the Order of Merit will automatically earn status on next year’s Web.com Tour, while the top-10 will be eligible for the Final Stage of the Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament from 6-9 December and players from 11-25 will be exempt to the Second Qualifying Stage.

Sharks Girls’ claim championship SOUTHERN PENINSULA Sharks’ under-16 Girls have topped off their thrilling season as champions of the MUVJBL under-16 Girls Victorian Championship on Friday 21 September. The under-16s side defeated the Dandenong Rangers 64-56 in the grand final which was played at the State Basketball Centre. It has been an incredibly successful season for the group of girls who also won the Basketball Victoria Country Championship earlier in the year at Shepparton. To add to the side’s success, four of the girls, Charlie Dobson, Lani Thornton, Paige Price and Gemma Simon, were members of the Basketball Victoria Country State team which won silver at the Australian Junior Championships in July. The same four players were also part of the Southern Peninsula Sharks’ Senior Women’s side which finished runners-up in the Big V State Championship Women’s division. Southern Peninsula Sharks basketball operations manager Lucas Allen said it was a “crazy year of success for these girls”. “This would be one of the most

successful under-16 Girls’ seasons that we’ve had at Southern Peninsula Sharks,” Allen said. “They had a few weeks there where they had a few girls at Nationals which can happen when you have players competing at a high level like that, but then having some of those girls involved at the senior level it definitely helps with their progression which made a big difference in the end.” Southern Peninsula Sharks also had further success with their under-14 Girls side which finished runners-up in the MUVJBL under-14 Girls Victorian Championship Reserve division. In other basketball news for the Southern Peninsula Sharks, the Big V held their awards night on Saturday 22 September, where Olivia Pollerd took out the State Championship Women’s Youth Player of The Year Award. Jaz Shelley was also named in the State Championship Women’s All Star Five and so too Colin Voss, who was named in the Division Two Men’s All Star Five.
