Fee renewals are ‘killing us’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A HASTINGS café proprietor said business registration renewal fees demanded by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council had jumped 22 per cent to $650 this year – up from $511 last year and $480 in 2017. Pam Eddy, who runs Mooz Café, in Victoria Street, Hastings, said the fees’ hike meant small hospitality businesses were being gouged by the council. “We won’t get any benefit so where is all the extra money going?” she asked.

“I rang the council and the person said the extra money was being spent on ‘allergens and other courses’. “I asked if we paid for councillors to do these courses and she said ‘No’ it is for businesses. “I’ve been in my business for 10 years and I’ve never been offered a course.” Ms Eddy’s complaints follow those of Barton Smith, who runs two Oporto outlets at the BP service stations on Peninsula Link, Baxter. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has demanded he pay $650 for each

of his food outlets – up from the $388 each he was charged last year. “How does the council explain such a large increase?” asked Mr Smith, who has approached the Ombudsman for assistance. “This is a rise of 69.71 per cent and must be a mistake or clearly there are grounds for this massive rise. “I have received no explanation or justification as my businesses have not been reassessed and remain Class 2 food outlets. “Inflation is averaging well under 2 per cent and, if this isn’t an error, then

the council’s hefty price increase is outrageous. The Reserve Bank is trying to stimulate the economy and yet the shire is trying to strangle us.” Ms Eddy said she made repeated calls to the shire to get answers over the increases for her Cafe-Class 2-Medium Risk business. “I asked for a breakdown,” she said. “I wanted to know what my money was being used for.” She said she did a “rough underestimate” of the fee hikes for all food and drink businesses in Hastings and Mornington came to $70,200 – not

counting any other towns. “That’s a lot of courses,” she said. Ms Eddy said small retailers already paid their landlord’s rates and fire levy, and waste disposal on their rates of about $285 “yet we have to organise and pay for our own rubbish contractors”. “On top of this is a footpath trading permit, and public insurance cover for $20 million costing $300. “Then, on top of that, the new registration renewal arrived! I thought ‘Good god you are killing us’.” Continued Page 5

Proof’s in the pudding for students

PROOF of the success of Hands-onLearning as a worthwhile career path for youngsters came with the launching of a students’ pizza oven at Western Port Secondary College last week. Former Frankston High School H-o-L student Liam Sweeney, now the purchasing manager at high-end peninsula hotel Jackalope, worked with the Western Port H-o-L students at the launch of their pizza oven to feed a large group of staff, students, parents and community and local business people, Friday 25 October. Liam, who has worked on several projects with the students, arrived with Jackalope head chef Andy Bryant, carrying all the food, including calzones they had prepped, as well as pizza bases, sauce and ingredients. They and year 9 students then cooked and presented it. A holistic approach to the food was augmented by Tuerong Farm wheat and flour miller Jason Cotter, who supplied the ingredients for the pizza bases. Speakers included Western Port Secondary College student Riley Frewer, who gave a student’s perspective of H-o-L, principal Chris Quinn, who welcomed guests, and Flinders MP Greg Hunt, who formally opened the pizza oven. “It’s good that the kids get experience talking about the dough and working to prepare the fire, which is a special skill,” Liam said. “I enjoyed the day; it was nice to give something back.”

It’s a date: A large gathering at Hastings police station last week attended by Flinders MP Greg Hunt helped launch the $10 calendars and promote their message. Picture: Gary Sissons

Calendar sales fight police PTSD PROCEEDS from the sale of the Hastings Police Senior Citizens Register 20th anniversary calendar are going to a good cause. Money raised will assist in the fight against post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among police officers. Register coordinator Denise Palmer said clients of the register had already

bought 400 of the 1000 calendars for 2020 printed with the remaining 600 expected to sell quickly. “We thought we were ambitious in aiming for fundraising of $10,000 but we are on target and will achieve it with the sale of the last 600 calendars,” she said. The calendars are available at

Hastings police station, 10am-12pm, Thursdays. The register began in 2000 as a joint effort between the police and community volunteers. The free service aims to promote confident and secure living among senior citizens who receive a regular phone call or in-home visit as requested.

The visits are coordinated by a database at Hastings police station which enables police and emergency services staff to access personal information should it be needed in an emergency. Ms Palmer said 1000 registered clients lived in the Western Port area from Baxter through the Shoreham.

Continued from Page 1 The shire’s environment protection manager John Rankine defended the fee rises. “The shire undertakes intensive assessments of food businesses in accordance with the Department of Health and Human Services’ best practice guidelines for food safety assessments,” he said. “This is a requirement under the Food Act and has been in place for many years. [It] ensures the food served to customers is safe to eat. “Increases in the extent of the assessments and the obligations on the shire have increased the cost of the program [and] this is reflected in the increased registration fees.” Mr Rankine said allergen awareness was an example of the increased requirements. “There

has been a notable increase in the number of food complaints arising from allergic reactions to food,” he said. The small business owners’ complaints come as Mornington Peninsula Shire announces it has “officially become a Small Business Friendly Council, committing to give small businesses in the region more support”. The shire said Monday 28 October it was a partner in the Victorian Small Business Commission initiative to “make it a lot easier for small business owners to get started and develop their businesses”. Commissioner Judy O’Connell met with the mayor, Cr David Gill and CEO John Baker at Rosebud to sign the initiative’s charter.

Annual General Meeting & Community Forum

Former gambler fights pokies Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A SOMERVILLE woman honoured at last week’s Victorian Senior of the Year awards says state governments and large corporations must learn to wean themselves off relying on gambling revenues. Anna Bardsley received the Healthy and Active Living Award from the Governor Linda Dessau for her work in helping others beat their own gambling addictions since winning her own self-destructive battle several years ago. The awards are part of the monthlong Victorian Seniors Festival and aim to celebrate older Victorians who support and inspire others through their volunteer work and efforts in their communities. After rising above her own troubles Ms Bardsley has become an advocate for addiction issues as a participant and leader in the Three Sides of the Coin project, as a Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation Lived Experience committee member, and as a speaker and trainer at ReSpin Speakers Bureau. “I was a ‘problem gambler’ from the early 1990s and I lost 10 years of my life to the pokies,” she said. “But I don’t like to use that term because when I emerged into recovery I began to understand that the language around gambling made it worse. “It was impossible for me to ask for help because I was the problem.” Her descent into gambling addiction began innocently when she and a group of friends started visiting

hotels to play the pokies on nights out. “We’d spend $20 and have a drink and dinner and it seemed harmless and I had no problem walking away,” she said. Family tragedies and a disintegrating marriage led to arguments with her former husband and one cold, wet night she got in her car and sought refuge in a hotel – playing the pokies. “I’d never been in a pub on my own before but, because I’d been there with friends I knew what to do; it was safe for women and it was a way to pass the time.” The pokies machines worked their magic, did what they were designed to do and “took me to another place” and, before long, Ms Bardsley was hooked. “I began making excuses to go more often,” she said. “I was lying to myself, my family, I lost my self-esteem – it was appalling. I would try to stop and that would last a few days before I was

back there. “It has taken years to retrain my brain to want to get out of that dark place. They are years I will never get back.” Ms Bardsley credits counselling and a writing workshop with Arnold Zabel in 2013 for giving her an insight into her plight that was not apparent to her before. She put herself back in the place of the gambler she had been and felt the loneliness and the futility. “I realised I was addicted to the machines and knew I had to stop. I wrote a chapter to a book of anthologies the group was writing called Shame. I originally didn’t want to do it; it was really hard, but I had developed a sense of trust in the group and had to face myself. I recognised that the shame was not on the gambler but on the governments and the corporations who prey on the gamblers.”

Shame has gone on to be a dramatised reading at the Melbourne Writers’ Festival as part of the Three Sides of the Coin project and is recognised as a powerful tool for recovery and education. Going full circle, Ms Bardsley accompanied shareholder activist Stephen Mayne and advocate for gambling reform’s Tim Costello to the October 2017 annual meeting of Crown Casino where she fronted former Crown chairman James Packer on the evils of gambling. “He was quite taken aback but handled it well, despite saying: ‘I am really sorry for your sad life’. “He then apologised for being patronising.” She said she spoke out because “tens of thousands of others can’t speak”. “[Gambling] is a shameful thing and I want to hold the industry to account.” Ms Bardley said local government was trying hard to curb the allure of the pokies “because it sees the pain first hand,” she said. Mornington Peninsula Shire has joined the national group Alliance for Gambling Reform. Local government is in a unique position because it doesn’t earn an income from pokies and so can put pressure on the state government to curb them, she said. Ordinary people opposed to the pokies should lobby their local members of parliament to put pressure on the industry, she said. “Incrementally we can get rid of pokies.”

Our Board, senior staff and community members will attend, as we celebrate the achievements of the last year, invite feedback, comments and suggestions and look ahead to our exciting future.

Honoured guests: The mayor Cr David Gill and past and present Australia Day Awards Citizens of the Year recipients. Picture: Yanni

Morning tea honours awards winners A MORNING tea to honour Mornington Peninsula Shire’s previous Australia Day Awards Citizens of the Year was held at the Rosebud offices on Friday 25 October. The mayor Cr David Gill hosted the event to “recognise and celebrate the recipients’ significant contributions to the enrichment, improvement and advancement of the Mornington Peninsula community”. Special guest was the shire’s Citizen of the Year Josie Jones, who was last week awarded the 2020 Victoria Local Hero award at a ceremony at

Government House. She was among about 20 previous winners representing all award categories at the event. A staunch environmental and litter prevention advocate, Ms Jones starts each morning by collecting rubbish on the beach. Since 2006 the single mum has volunteered 10,000 hours to collect 5.3 tonnes of rubbish from the shoreline. Ms Jones, 46, devotes “every spare moment” to her cause by engaging the community, public speaking, social media, and consulting

with local government, community groups, corporations, schools and businesses. Her work inspires others to care for the environment. The graphic designer’s The Only Butt campaign has helped reduce cigarette litter on streets. Her outstanding work has received recognition through awards, including the Dame Phyllis Frost Award in 2016 and Litter Prevention prize from Keep Victoria Beautiful 2017. Her commitment has made her a much-admired role model.

Liberals wary of making preselection comment Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au SENIOR Liberals are reportedly seeking to overturn a decision by their own federal seats committee that would require sitting MPs to face preselection. If the committee’s decision remains on the party’s books, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, a Cabinet minister, could face a challenge early next year from within his own party’s ranks. The committee recommended nominations for all Liberal-held seats open on 15 January next year, with party members voting in February or March and candidates selected by October. However, neither the chairman of that committee, Russell Joseph - who last November failed to win the former Liberal state seat of Nepean for the Liberals - or Mr Hunt would comment on the preselection decision. Mr Joseph told The News he was “the last person to start back grounding the media, much as I’d like to give you a great story”. He said that if he made a comment “all of a sudden it would be game on”, when the report recommending opening up preselections was “just a normal party role” of the committee “and not for the pages of a newspaper”. A report in The Age on Saturday 2 October said the report’s recommendations had “blindsided” the Prime Minister Scott Morrison and several federal Victorian ministers. The report stated that the party’s federal director Andrew Hirst would try to get the proposal overturned. Mr Hunt, who has held Flinders since 2001, was asked several times by The News to comment

specifically on the committee’s decision. However, his “media contact” Mathew Langdon, said a spokesperson for Mr Hunt could be quoted as saying: "The minister was honoured to have been nominated by the Liberal Party and elected by local residents as the Member for Flinders, as well as continuing in his role as Minister for Health in the Morrison government. “Matters relating to the timing of preselections are for the administration of the Liberal Party of Victoria to determine. “The minister's focus is on delivering projects announced in election such as upgrades to Jetty Road, a National Centre for Coasts, Environment and Climate at Point Nepean and improved mental health services on the Mornington Peninsula." The committee’s decision follows the forced resignations of six Victorian Liberal candidates in the lad-up to the May federal election for their right wing views and for failing to meet eligibility requirements under Section 44 of the Australian Constitution. On a two-party preferred basis, Mr Hunt retained Flinders with nearly 56 per cent of the vote despite a 1.37 per cent swing against him. The result led to the Australian Electoral Commission classifying Flinders as being a marginal seat (“Strong win for Hunt in ‘marginal’ Flinders” The News 18/6/19). Mr Hunt’s primary vote was down by 3.78 per cent, but much of this is likely to have been the result of former Liberal MP, Julia banks, standing as an independent. Primary votes were also down for Labor ‘s Joshua Sinclair (-2.8%) and the Greens (-4.18%) while Ms banks attracted 13.79 per cent of primary votes.

With Stephen Taylor

Backyard fight ends with stabbing and a punch SOMERVILLE detectives were last week investigating an alleged stabbing at Rosebud in which two offenders jumped a fence into the backyard of a house near the corner of Point Nepean and Boneo roads where they were confronted by two other men, 9pm, Thursday 24 October. In the ensuing struggle one of the victims received cuts to his hand from an unknown item – possibly a knife – while the other was punched in the face. Detective Acting Sergeant Peter Drake, of Somerville CIU, said the two offenders then ran to a car and were driven away. The victims are aged 51 and 52. The man who was stabbed later attended Rosebud Hospital for treatment.

The pair faced Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Thursday. The man was remanded in custody and the woman bailed. They will both reappear at the same court at a later date. Detective Drake said police would allege the pair seriously assaulted a man with a hammer at Rosebud on 11 October. The man received head injuries and is being treated at Frankston Hospital. He said the arson charges related to the burning of a stolen car at Rosebud. Detective Drake said the arrests formed part of Operation Night Eagle which targeted persons of interest.

Rosebud police are looking for the man, pictured, who took the new Apple iPhone 11 valued at $1720 which was still in its box, and drove off in a white Toyota Camry. The victim could not make out the registration number. The man is described a Caucasian, dark hair, dark eyes, and wearing a distinctive top. Anyone with information is asked to call Senior Constable Leanne Marshall at Rosebud Police 5986 0444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Slow learner SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol intercepted a 38-year-old Rye man driving without headlights or taillights along Frankston-Dandenong Road, Seaford, 2am, Saturday 19 October. The man was driving the same blue Commodore sedan issued with a defect notice in August still with the same wiring extending from the battery up through the bonnet and in through the window to provide a charging port for his phone. The man returned a positive drug test and his car was found to have suspended registration due to his not complying with the previous defect notice. He allegedly told police he was driving to Seymour to drop off the motorbike on his trailer. The man was released pending summons for drug driving, unregistered vehicle and trailer, unsafe vehicle, no headlights at night and insecure load in the trailer. Senior Constable Greg Wolfe said a large four-wheel-drive bull bar had been thrown on top of his load to keep it weighted down.

‘Erratic’ drivers charged

Up for the challenge

A ROSEBUD pair whose car was reported driving erratically last week later faced Frankston Magistrates’ Court charged with a range of offences. Detective Acting Sergeant Peter Drake, of Somerville CIU, said witnesses concerned about the car called police, 7pm, Wednesday 23 October. Police intercepted the car in Rosebud and charged a man, 23, with assault intentionally causing injury, arson, theft of a motor car, evading police and possessing a drug of dependence. The car had been fitted with false number plates. A woman, 29, has been charged with assault intentionally causing serious injury and evading police.

MEMBERS of the Blue Runners kept the treadmill running continuously for 12 hours at Core 24 Frankston, Monday 21 October, traising $1100 for Very Special Kids. Blue Runners team members are Senior Sergeant Natalie Dollard, Leading Senior Constable Daniel Patten, Sergeant Annette Reynolds, Inspector Janene Denton, Senior Sergeant Paul Edwards, Senior Constable Hayden Holmes, Constable Jenni Baker, Senior Sergeant Shane Pola, Sergeant Jeremy Michau, Acting Senior Sergeant Phil Weight, Senior Constable Rob Gillson, Leading Senior Constable Rob Osborn and Kodie Spiekman. The challenge organised by Frankston Rotary raised $21,704.35 for Very Special Kids.

Hold the phone

Phone snatched A MAN who answered an advertisement to buy a mobile phone from a Facebook Marketplace page snatched it from the seller, ran to a waiting car and drove off, Sunday 22 September.

MORNINGTON police are keen to identify a woman after a mobile phone went missing from a shop last week. The phone, belonging to a staffer, was lost on Thursday 17 October. Police believe that the woman (pictured) can assist with their inquiries. She is Caucasian with dark hair and medium build. Anyone with information is urged to contact Mornington Police 5970 4900 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at crimestoppersvic.com.au

‘Super shire’ marks its first 25 years Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au IT’S 25 years since council amalgamations throughout Victoria, which led to formation of a “super shire” on the Mornington Peninsula. The amalgamation of 1994 saw the peninsula run by three state government-appointed commissioners instead of elected councillors, who were effectively sacked by the Kennett Liberal government. The commissioners’ job was to create one council where there had been three: Flinders, Mornington and Hastings. In the lead-up to amalgamation, individual councils fought turf wars, staking their claim (through submissions to the government) to land outside their municipal boundaries. But the government stood firm on wanting one municipality for the peninsula. Surrounded by water on three sides, the only disputed boundary was in the north, where the former shires of Mornington and Hastings met the boundaries of Frankston in the west and the then City of Cranbourne in the east. Frankston, which had long described itself as the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula rather than being a part of the peninsula, was forced to give up parts of Mt Eliza and Baxter. However, it too was enlarged by being given land north of Carrum Downs. The amalgamation process was not always easy. Each of the peninsula’s three shires had its own staff, which meant positions being occupied by three people (even though some had different titles). Finding jobs for three CEOs was a priority. Forcing three into one was only achieved through numerous staff meetings, seminars and retraining programs. Some staff had difficulty adapting to the new culture and opted to take redundancies, while DECKING T/Pine 70x22 KD ACQ ........................... $2.70mt T/Pine 90x22 KD ACQ ........................... $3.50mt T/Pine 140x22 KD ACQ ......................... $6.25mt Merbau 70x19 Random ........................ $4.75mt Merbau 90x19 Random ........................ $6.50mt Merbau 140x22 Random .................... $13.95mt

25th anniversary of amalgamation of the three former peninsula shires. Among those attending the function at the Mornington council chamber were Bill Goodrem and Brian Stahl, former shire presidents who went on to become mayors of the newly-created municipality. The current mayor Cr David Gill was shire president of the former Shire of Mornington in 1984-85. They joined former Flinders shire president Keith Holmes, former Hastings shire president Sue Wilding and former Mornington shire presidents David McMillan and Paul Kelly. The gathering of about 30 retired community leaders also included former mayors Judith Graley, Tim Rodgers and David Renouf. “It was terrific to catch up with so many people passionate about their community,” Cr Gill said. “The anniversary was an opportunity

others suddenly found themselves lower in the pecking order. The generous superannuation scheme left the new super shire with a debt that took years to effectively manage. The amalgamation, or restructuring of local government, saw semi-autonomous business units set up within the shire and the introduction of compulsory competitive tendering. The exit of commissioners and the reintroduction of council elections in 1997 signalled the end of a tumultuous time in Victorian local government. The number of councils had been reduced from 210 to 79, and newly elected councillors were paid. Two weeks ago (Thursday 17 October), the shire invited former shire presidents and past peninsula mayors to Mornington to mark the

to reunite and recognise an old era of councillors who represented their community on a volunteer basis. Amalgamation brought in a board of directors model and councillors receiving a stipend for their services. “There was a fair degree of sadness and regret at the closure of the old shire councils, and the long period of no elected representatives forced on communities by the then state government. “Our shire now serves a resident population of more than 166,000. We provide more than 500 services to the community, have 1702 kilometres of roads, maintain 227 community buildings and care for 641 areas of public open space and much more.” Cr Gill said the anniversary was a good opportunity to take stock of what had been achieved so far and discuss the shire’s direction for the next 25 years “with so much wisdom in the room”.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Seaford school to be proceeded with immediately Compiled by Cameron McCullough A DEPUTATION, introduced by the Hon. A. Downward, waited on the Minister of Education on Wednesday last. The school committee was represented by Cr. Armstrong and Messrs Klauer, Moffatt and H. J. McCulloch, while Messrs Hunter, Martin and Laing attended from the Progress Association. Cr Armstrong followed Mr Downward in making out a strong case for definite and prompt action, and all the other speakers ably supported. In reply the Minister said that instructions had been given to purchase Muntz’s site, and the school would be erected immediately negotiations were concluded. The deputationists warmly thanked the Minister for his decision to proceed with the building at once, as the school was an urgent necessity. *** MR J. McComb, having disposed of his property, “Pine Hill” Moorooduc is holding a clearing sale on Wednesday, 12th November, the auctioneers being The Gippsland and Northern Co-operative Selling and Insurance Co. Ltd. *** THE usual Monthly meeting of the Frankston branch of Returned Soldiers’ Association will be held on Monday 10th November. Members of the Fathers’ Association are invited to be present and refreshments will be provided. *** The next ordinary monthly meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council will take place on Thursday, 6th Nov. *** IN the past the “Standard” has been

officially published on Saturdays although as a fact the journal each week is printed and in the post every Friday evening. To avoid misunderstanding which it is found occasionally arises with advertisers, it has been decided to definitely announce the time of publication as Friday. Advertisers and contributors will therefore please note that the Standard is published every Friday evening and late advertisements cannot be taken after 12 noon on that day. *** THE Somerville St Andrew’s Ladies committee have organised a spring show to be held in the Horticultural Hall Somerville, on Friday 7th November. The show will be opened by Capt S. M. Bruce. M.H.R. at 7.30pm. The committee, with Mrs Geo. Shepherd as secretary, have arrangements well forward, numerous entries are expected for various awards to be offered for cookery, butter and eggs, vegetables, pot plants and cut flowers, hand needlework and schoolwork. On Saturday afternoon and evening a peace fair will be held. Mrs Chas. Murray is the President and Mrs Philbrick and J. S. Murray vice-presidents. *** IT has been officially announced that the writs of the forthcoming elections will be issued on Monday November 3rd. The Commonwealth Rolls will therefore close at 6 o’clock pm on that date, and claims for enrollment received after that hour and date will be ineffective. It therefore behooves all who are not yet enrolled to forward claims for en-

rollment to reach the registrar not later than the time and date specified. *** MR Chris. Mudd F.L.S. F.R.G.S., Home Mission Deputation will conduct both services at the Frankston Methodist Church on Sunday next. He will also lecture in the church on Wednesday evening next at 8pm on “The Burning Ship”. There will be no charge for admission, but a collection will be made for Home Missions. The lecture is full of thrilling incident, and it is to be hoped that the attendance will be large. *** EDWIN Carsin’s Comedy company will be touring the Peninsula starting at Crib Point, on Monday, November the 10th. Mr Carson has secured the rights for production of London’s latest live wire Topical Screamer “North East Lynne.” The farcical comedy is of four acts, and ten scenes, on the Somme and the “Rose of No Man’s Land” depicting realistic conditions which the boys were under while in action. The Comedy is claimed to be one of the funniest ever submitted and as the members have all been on active service a bumper attendance will have the opportunity of spending a night of mirth with this talented organization. *** A YOUTH named Jensen was arrested at Frankston this week by Senr Constable Bray on a charge of horse stealing. He appeared before Mr Lasslett J.P. on Thursday morning and was remanded. It is alleged that the accused annexed

a horse from the Dandenong district and sold it later for £5. *** AT last it seems likely that efforts to revive the Frankston Brass Band will prove successful. Mr C. Willox, who is a great enthusiast, has been negotiating with Mr Harry A. Blaskett who was bandmaster of one of the Military Bands in France, and is now a resident of Carrum Downs. Mr Blaskett possesses high credentials and is willing to assist in re-establishing the local band. A public meeting to consider the question has been convened for Wednesday evening next in the Mechanics’ Hall. It is to be hoped that the public will attend in large numbers and help the movement along. *** A MEETING of delegates to the Peninsula Cricket Association was held on Saturday evening last in the Hastings Hall. Mr Geo. Keast, Somerville (President), occupied the chair, and delegates were present from Frankston, Somerville, Tyabb, Hastings and French Island. Mr Austin, Frankston, was elected vice-president of the association, and acknowledged the honour done to him and the club be represented. A code of rules for the carrying out of a competition for premiership among the Peninsula clubs was arranged. It was decided that at the end of the competition the two leading clubs should play a final for the premiership, the original leaders having a right to demand another grand final if defeated. It was decided that all affiliation fees

must be paid before the play begins, and also players must be registered in the Association’s books before playing. Fixtures were arranged for the first round of play, Frankston having a bye on the first Saturday (Nov. 1st), and meeting Somerville on Frankston ground on 8th November. The President donated two trophies for batting and bowling averages respectively. It was decided that the winner of the former must have played in at least half the matches of the season, and that to win the bowling trophy a player must have delivered at least 50 overs. In view of the cost and scarcity of cricket balls, it was decided that varnished balls of quality and condition approved by both captains should be allowed in competition matches. *** NOTICE. A Rule to administer the Estate of EDWIN THOMAS SMITH late of A.I.F. abroad, Soldier; formerly of Carrum, Laborer, deceased, intestate who died on the 17th March 1918 has been granted to me, and Creditors, Next of Kin, and all others having claims against the Estate are required to send in particulars of their claims to the Curator of the Estates of Deceased Persons, No. 483 Collins Street, Melbourne, on or before the 15th December 1919 or they may be excluded front the distribution of the Estate when the assets are being distributed.

Somerville chase down Red Hill, Seaford Tigers just get across line By Brodie Cowburn

PENINSULA

SOMERVILLE have chased down Red Hill to claim an impressive win in their first two day outing for the season. With a target of 194 to meet, Somerville started poorly when they lost an opener for a duck. Their other opener Jayde Herrick did better, scoring 35 runs to give his team a little bit of momentum. A strong middle order performance sealed the victory for Somerville, with each of their batsmen from number three to number seven contributing with scores of over 25. Somerville ended up securing victory with five wickets and five overs to spare. At Ditterich Reserve, Main Ridge chalked up an easy win over Pearcedale. Pearcedale were sent packing for just 87 on day one. And with Main Ridge starting day two at 1/59, the result seemed a sure thing before a ball was bowled. Batsman Michael Holmes made the day his own for Main Ridge, scoring 84 runs. His tally alone was almost enough to topple their opponents. Main Ridge ended up declaring at 2/185, easily claiming a first innings win. Pearcedale came in for a second innings and batted out the day, finish-

ing at 8/118. Pines took out a win over Moorooduc thanks to a stunning performance from Damien Lawrence. He scored 95 runs, including 8 fours and 6 sixes, to help his side chase down Moorooduc’s total of 179. A weather hampered two day contest between Heatherhill and Long Island ended in a draw.

DISTRICT

SEAFORD Tigers just scraped over the line in a thriller against Delacombe Park last weekend. Delacombe Park made sure the Tigers would have their work cut out for them on day two, setting them a tough target of 232 to chase down. The Tigers’ run chase started off in shaky fashion, and at 4/78 they needed a big push from their middle order to get back on track. David James stood up for the Tigers, putting together a brilliant innings of 86 to give the Tigers momentum. James hit 6 fours and 4 sixes during his impressive innings. Once his wicket fell the Tigers looked wobbly again, and at 9/186 with 47 runs to go to win looked as if they would fall short. A brilliant last wicket partnership saved the day for Seaford Tigers, and they ended up getting the win in the final over with just one wicket in hand.

30 October 2019

Despite a spirited showing by Mt Martha, Rosebud were able to defend their total of 253 runs. Mt Martha’s first three batsmen fell cheaply, but a strong middle order performance put them back in contention. The mountain proved too tall for Mt Martha to climb though, and they ended up bowled out for 202. Dromana were able to lock up a win at home against Carrum, defending their first day total of 219. Carrum ended up all out for 181 runs. Zacc Klan took five wickets for the winning Dromana side. Hastings also wrapped up a win at home, chasing down Crib Point’s first innings total of 138. Robert Hearn was the pick of the batsmen, scoring 77 runs.

SUB DISTRICT

BALNARRING have secured an outright win over Skye with a thoroughly dominant performance. After scoring 320 runs on day one, Balnarring proved just as dominant with ball in hand on day two. Skye were sent packing for just 24 runs in their first innings. Their highest scoring batsman put six runs on the board, and five of their batsmen were dismissed for ducks. Skye were sent back in when the follow on was enforced, and the bad times continued. They were bowled

out for 46 off just 16 overs. When the sun set at Balnarring Reserve, the home side had claimed the win by an innings and 250 runs. Things were more competitive between Boneo and Tootgarook, as Boneo were able to hold on to defend their first day total of 176 runs. Tootgarook ended up falling 20 runs short of a good result, and were bowled out for 156. Cameron Williams and Jack Beale did the damage, taking four wickets each for Boneo. At Bunguyan Reserve, an electrifying century from opener Nick Taranto helped Tyabb chase down Ballam Park’s total. Taranto scored 110 not out, helping his side to a total of 2/200 and an eight wicket win. He hit 14 fours during his innings. Carrum Downs had little trouble reaching their target of 100 runs against Rye. They surpassed Rye’s total with seven wickets to spare. Frankston YCW’s clash with Seaford was rained off.

PROVINCIAL

BADEN Powell have held on by the skin of their teeth to claim a one run win over Baxter. Baden Powell did well on day one, scoring 171 runs thanks to a big total of 81 from Rhys Elmi.

Baxter’s run chase started poorly when they lost their opener for a duck, but a strong 84 run partnership between Travis Sawers and Chris Brittain got things back on track. Doing well at 1/85, Baxter quickly fell to 4/94 and their run chase looked in a little more trouble. None of Baxter’s other batsmen were able to go on to get a big total, and at 9/166 it was down to the final two batsmen to get the six runs needed to win. The tail order couldn’t finish the job, and Baden Powell ended up bowling out Baxter for 170, just one run shy of a tie. At Alexandra Park, Mornington did well to defend their total of 206 against Flinders. Michael Heib was impressive with the ball for Mornington, posting figures of 6/54 off his 23 overs. He helped his side bowl out Flinders for 144, 63 runs short of a win. At David Macfarlane Reserve, Sorrento were able to defeat Langwarrin by chasing down their day one total of 187. The Sharks got the win with six wickets in hand. Robert Wilson top scored with 65. Despite dominating on day one and setting a target of 300, Peninsula OB didn’t get a chance to defend their total against Mt Eliza. Their clash was rained off and declared a draw.

Stubley, Guy, Harrington, Prescott SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie ANDY Stubley, Keegan Guy and Matt Harrington are wanted men and Mornington is leading the chase to sign them. Stubley and Guy meet with Mornington boss Adam Jamieson this week and are part of an ambitious plan which the progressive State 1 club hopes will take it into the NPL. “Andy is a flying machine who works really hard at both ends of the ground and can go past players like they’re not there so I think he’ll complement us in the way I want us to set up but obviously I need to sign him first,” Jamieson said. Guy has tasted senior football with Langwarrin and is one of the most talented teenagers in peninsula ranks. The 17-year-old has been in the NPL under-20 system for the past two seasons having been signed from Bentleigh Greens by former Langy under-20s coach and current Frankston Pines boss Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor. Guy has played for Langy in FFA Cup matches and has come off the bench for the seniors. He was Langy’s top scorer in the under-20s last season with 17 goals and was runner-up in the best and fairest and player’s player of the year awards. Harrington is expected to train with Mornington next month. The teenager earned a reputation as an impact player at Strikers last season often coming off the bench and running riot down the right-hand side. Many at Strikers think that he could have been given more game time and Jamieson is keen to use him in a wide attacking role. Last week Jamieson fended off overtures from other clubs to win the race to sign striker Dejan Radojicic from Casey Comets. Skye United was among the clubs to have spoken to Radojicic but wasn’t confident of signing him. “Yeah we spoke to Dejan but there was a list the length of my arm chasing someone of his quality and we were probably at the bottom of it but it was well worth a shot,” Skye head coach Phil McGuinness said. Radojicic and Jamieson first linked at Frankston Pines years ago and the Dallas Brooks boss was keen to clinch his signature. “I’ve known Dejan for a long time and I’ve watched him over a number of years,” Jamieson said. “I think technically he’s a very, very good player. “He finds space that not many other

Top targets: From left, Andy Stubley (Casey Comets), Matt Harrington (Peninsula Strikers) and John Prescott (Peninsula Strikers). Pictures: John Punshon

players do, he reads the game brilliantly and he now scores goals. “He can play up high or in behind the front men so he presents us with different options.” Jamieson also is tracking a midfielder but remained tight-lipped when asked about his identity. In NPL2 news star Peninsula Strikers’ forward John Prescott is training at Lawton Park and will be joined by other triallists early next month. Prescott and Langy assistant coach Jamie Skelly worked together at Casey Comets and when Skelly switched to Strikers he took the big Englishman with him. It’s already been reported that Langy has lost striker Max Etheridge who has returned to England so Prescott is hoping to convince gaffer Scott Miller that he’s the man to fill the vacancy. In NPLW news Southern United player-coach Melissa Maizels has signed a contract with Melbourne Victory for the W-League season which starts next month. Southern prepared for such an eventuality by hiring two-time NPLW Coach of the Year Brian Roberts as its technical director and he’ll fill in for Maizels when needed to minimise disruption to the club’s pre-season program.

Southern’s trials have been completed at Monterey Reserve and the club will start training at its new facility at Casey Fields next month. In State 2 news Skye United wants to sign midfielder Kevin Duffy from St Kilda Celts. St Kilda is believed to be struggling with a considerable debt owed to Football Victoria and rumour has it that players are still owed match payments from last season. Duffy’s brother Stephen assists Phil McGuinness with Skye’s senior squad and played an important role in the club’s promotion from State 3 this year. “We are aiming high and trying to bring in the right type of players,” McGuinness said. “I don’t see us signing many so we definitely need to be precise in what we are looking for. “Kevin Duffy is a player I really like and can play in many positions so he would fit perfectly with our current squad of players. “We tried to get him last year but I was a bit slow off the mark and it also can be challenging trying to convince players to leave State 1 and join a club in State 2.” In State 4 news Somerville Eagles are in talks with former Rosebud Heart

youngster Zach Karolidis who played with Langwarrin under-20s last season. Somerville has secured most of last season’s championship-winning squad and work on upgrading the clubrooms at Tyabb Central Reserve started last week. In State 5 news Rosebud started preseason training last week and senior coach Pat Sabatino is “in the hunt for new players.” He can be contacted on 0406 795 078. Meanwhile the long wait for FV to organise State League best and fairest and Golden Boot award lists finally ended last week when the state federation posted the information weeks after the league season ended. There was little joy for local clubs but Mornington veteran Craig Smart was runner-up in the State 1 SouthEast best and fairest count while teammate Josh Hine finished runner-up in the Golden Boot award. Mitch Blake of Skye United was runner-up in State 3 South-East’s Golden Boot award while veteran Somerville striker Mark Pagliarulo was the second top scorer in State 5 South. FV continues to oversee an archaic information gathering system where-

by clubs are responsible for supplying information about top scorers. Referees are responsible for best and fairest votes and are expected to lodge that information on a match-by-match basis. It’s not unusual for FV to be forced to chase up both the best and fairest and scorer information after the season has ended contributing to the much criticised delay in publishing the final results. And sometimes the wrong winners have been announced. Take season 2014 for example when Daniel Attard of Skye United won the Golden Boot award for State 4 South. “I won the award on 12 goals but Marcus Roberts from Keysborough was filthy because he scored 15 goals that year and should have won,” Attard said. FV wrongly listed Roberts as only scoring 11 goals that season. Keysborough acknowledged the error in a facebook post on 14 October 2014 which read: “Congratulations to Marcus Roberts who took out second place in the FFV Golden Boot. Marcus is actually the FFV top scorer but due to a clerical error missed out on four goals being entered.” The federation was informed of the error but took no action.

Country Cups captured by Rawiller and McGill HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou UP-AND-COMING Morningtonbased apprentice jockey, Campbell Rawiller, scored the biggest win of his early career by taking out the St Arnauds Cup on Saturday 26 October. It was fitting that Rawiller took out his first country cup at the same track he won his first trial at earlier in the year. The now three kilo claiming apprentice made the most of his final meeting with his four kilo claim to lead all the way aboard the Kevin Corstens-trained Surreal Image. A late surge from the O’Sullivan-trained Patch Adams made it an interesting finish but the gutsy Surreal Image managed to cling onto the victory to win by a nose. Rawiller said it was such a thrill to reach what was a major goal for the young apprentice. “It was obviously very exciting with it being my main ride of the day,” Rawiller said. “To come back and win the Cup after winning my first trial there was great as that’s where it all sort of started. The only query was that the horse was stepping up to the distance for the first time but all honours to him - he was very tough in the way he won.” Having piloted the four-year-old gelding to a dominant four-length victory at Manangatang, Rawiller said he had a bit of confidence in the horse heading into the Cup. “He’s a horse that likes to get along with it and has to settle on his own terms - you can’t fight it. He looked like one of the main hopes as he wouldn’t

be challenged for the lead but it was really if he’d see out the trip,” he said. “We did do quite a bit of work early. He jumped and hit the gates and got firing, and then took a bit to bring back under me but once he got settled he really hit the lines strongly.” To follow on from Rawiller’s success, the apprentice’s master, Logan McGill, went on to claim a country cup of his own by taking out the $200,000 Listed Sale Cup on Sunday 27 October. Ridden by jockey Stephen Baster, the McGill-trained Gold Fields sat outside the leader before giving a kick in the straight to score by three-quarters-ofa-length over the Tasmanian-visitor, Mandela Effect. The Sale Cup win was the third country cup that the seven-year-old gelding has claimed in his 45-start career - the other two being the 2018 Wodonga Gold Cup and the 2017 Ballan Cup at Geelong. Mornington-based trainer Logan McGill said it was great to land a Listed race with such a consistent galloper. “There were a couple in the race that we were wary of but he’s just so honest,” McGill said “It was his first Listed win and he certainly deserves it! He’s been so consistent the whole way through and been racing in great form.” The $30,000 purchase has now taken his total prize money passed the $500,000 mark and bought up his 10th win with the victory in the Cup. McGill said the Kilmore Cup will likely be the next target before potentially attempting to defend his Wodonga Cup title.
