Dingley Village decision on horizon Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE Peninsula Kingswood Country Golf Club in Dingley Village are set to wind down operations in preparation of vacating their current site. The land currently occupied by the golf club is the proposed site of a controversial housing development, which has drawn heavy criticisms from Ding-
ley Village residents. The gates of the club will close to members on 1 December, and new owner ASRP1 will settle on 31 January 2019. The land was bought by the developer in September 2014. ASRP1 Kingswood senior development manager Anna Martiniello expressed frustration that the permit to build on the land had not yet been approved.
“We are not golf course operators so the site will be locked for safety reasons. It’s very disappointing for both us and the local community that we don’t yet have an agreed pathway forward for the land,” Ms Martiniello said. Ms Martiniello has defended the planned subdivision of the land into 760 lots for housing against criticism. “It’s important to plan carefully, which is what we’re proposing for
Kingswood. It will have a range of housing options, thoughtfully spread across the site, along with connected walking and bike paths and parks. The introduction of wetlands to the area will encourage wildlife,” she said. “We understand the concerns that some people have about development, but the demographic trends, the quality of master-plan and the recreational benefits to the community are a compelling reason to support the project.”
An unprecedented number of submissions totalling over 8000 were made to Kingston Council opposing the subdivision of the land. Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus is among the names opposing to the development. The matter is set to be decided on at the 22 October council meeting, although regardless of council’s decision, the final say will come down to Planning Minister Richard Wynne.
FIRE ACTION WEEK
7 - 14 October 2018 Stay informed
Message from the Premier This week is Fire Action Week, a time for all Victorians to start planning for a long and hot summer ahead. Low rainfall over winter has dried out much of the state and forecasts from the Bureau of Meteorology of a dry and hot summer means that we need to prepare for an earlier and longer fire season. Our dedicated emergency services are working with communities, businesses and local councils to reduce the risk for our state.
So please, talk to your family, friends and neighbours about your plans, and make sure you know when to leave and where to go to stay safe. You can also find out more information, monitor warnings and check the daily Fire Danger Ratings at emergency.vic.gov.au Taking the right steps now could make all the difference.
Recent bushfires – both here in Australia and overseas – remind us of the need to understand our own fire risk. Planning and preparing for fire is a responsibility that belongs to everyone.
The Hon Daniel Andrews MP Premier of Victoria
FIRE ACTION WEEK THE RIGHT TIME TO PREPARE IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE READY THIS SUMMER. Prepare your property, fire plan and emergency kit now. The reasons are black and white.

1. Plan what you’ll do in the event of a fire, talk to your household and know where to access information on high risk days. 2. Keep grass short. Fire can ignite and travel quickly through long grass. 3. Get rid of dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark around your home. 4. Remove or prune shrubs near windows and under branches of mature trees.
5. Cut back overhanging tree branches close to property – no branches within 10 metres. 6. Keep gutters and roof areas clear of leaf litter (if you are physically able to). 7. Remove all materials from around the home that could burn, such as boxes, furniture and woodpiles.

Getting ready for emergency Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON Council has joined forces with Frankston City Council, Mornington Peninsula Shire, and Greater Dandenong Council to host an event designed to “educate the community and ensure they are emergency ready.” ‘Operation Emergency Ready’ will be launched on Saturday 13 October at Harmony Square in Dandenong. A range of interactive activities and demonstrations on water safety and fire behaviour will be on display throughout the day. Visitors can also meet with emergency services representatives and learn more about the work they do. Kingston mayor Cr Steve Staikos said local families could “gain vital tips to help them put together their own emergency action plans.” “We want to make sure our communities are kept safe and healthy, so come along to make sure your family knows what to do in times of emergency. It’s always better to be safe than sorry,” Cr Staikos said. Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton noted that earlier this year, a bushfire in Carrum Downs had caused an evacuation. “This event brought home the importance of being prepared,” Cr Hampton said. “We don’t know how we will react in an emergency until it happens
Fun run for funds AFTER a successful trivia night for Patterson Lakes resident Jackie Smith to help wither her bowel cancer treatment, her friends Kerri Tropea and Stacey Parkins will be embarking on a 70 km run this Saturday 13 October to “raise awareness and much needed funds to pay for her lifesaving treatment not on the PBS.” They will start at St. Kilda Pier at 6AM and run onto Dromana Pier at roughly 3pm. An open after party will be held at Two Buoys Tapas and wine bar in Dromana with $1 from every drink sold going to the Ms Smith’s treatment.
Aths up and running GR Bricker Reserve Athletics Track in Moorabbin will have its official launch on 5 October, signalling the end of a $1.2 million project. The running track was jointly funded by Kingston Council and the Labor state government, with council putting in $900,000 and the state government contributing $300,000. Moorabin Little Athletics Club boasts 250 members who will enjoy year round access to the new facilities.

but having everything you need ready to go means that you can grab what you need most, without wasting time by over thinking it.” Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bryan Payne said “visitors to the event will have the opportunity
to interact with members of the Victorian Coastguard, the SES, CFA, Victoria Police and meet search and rescue dogs.” “Join us at Operation Emergency Ready and learn more about how you can be better prepared for an
emergency and enjoy a day out with your family and friends,” Cr Payne said. Operation Emergency Ready is a free event and will run from 10am to 3pm on Saturday 13 October.

Show stopper: Natalie Hutton’s ‘Echoplex’ dress took out the Avant-Garde award. Picture: Supplied
Winning in impressive fashion MENTONE designer Natalie Hutton has returned from the World Of Wearable Art awards in New Zealand this weekend with an impressive accolade. Ms Hutton was one of only eight Australian finalists in the final, and faced tough competition from 148 other challengers from 17 different countries. Her debut piece, called ‘Echoplex – Goddess of Reverb’ from her Claudia Savage range, took out the Avant-Garde section award. “An outer body experience is the best way to describe it,” Ms Hutton said about winning the award. “It’s going to take some time to sink in. I’ve been an exceptionally hard critic on myself for my whole life,

that having such a long standing and internationally renowned creative institution recognise you in such a way has really knocked me into an unfamiliar headspace.” Ms Hutton said the competition criteria inspired her to try her luck. “I’ve never been able to keep myself from going over the top when given a brief, however, in this case, I was already over the top and the perfect brief came to me. The mystical grey area that is my creative life of too arty for fashion and too fashion for art found itself the perfect home.” Ms Hutton’s gown took eight years to put together. It weighs 15 kilograms and features 50 metres of hand stitched
silk panels. Ms Hutton said each individual panel took eight hours to complete by hand and the gown has 40 panels. The gown took Natalie about 500 hours of sewing. “It’s been overwhelming in an awesome way,” she said. “I attended the pre-show and was blown away by the stagecraft and the variety of the performances. I found myself teary when my gown was walked on stage, I don’t remember doing so, but apparently, I squealed. It was so amazing to see it move around the stage under the lights and in a setting that it melded so well. I couldn’t believe the reception it received, I was just so happy.”

Kingston mayor on light duties KINGSTON Council has replaced over 7,500 street lights with LED globes, in a move they say will cut greenhouse gas, reduce the burden of rising electricity bills, and drastically reduce the municipality’s impact on the environment. Kingston Mayor Steve Staikos the $2.9 million project will “reduce the money spent on energy bills for lighting the city.”
“Council will be able to redirect savings to other important projects to improve services for our residents,” he said. Council says the new lights will save 55,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions over 20 years, the equivalent of removing over 600 cars from the road each year, and reduce light pollution and glare.

Votes get projects over the line FOURTEEN projects from Kingston, Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula are among 237 Pick My Project ideas sharing $30 million of taxpayers’ money. Ranging from charity works to recreational pursuits, the successful projects were chosen on the number of online votes they attracted. The amount of money available to particular communities was based on an equal split between “regional partnership areas” in metro and regional Victoria and then on population numbers within those areas. The peninsula had the second highest number of successful projects (eight) in the Southern Metro area but attracted the most money. Three Kingston project received the required votes to secure state government funding. The impactFUL project based in Chelsea received 257 votes and was successful in securing $24,350. The 20 week impactFUL program is aimed towards victims and survivors of family violence to help them improve their health and confidence. Mentone Girls’ Secondary College will also receive a big funding boost, securing $199,880 thanks to their 260 votes received. That money will be used to construct an all weather running track at the school that will “benefit students, the school community and wider community.” The Pet Food Bank in Carrum received the most funding in the Kingston region, securing $200,000 to help pet owners in times of hardship feed their pets. Their project received support from 360 voters. Improved lighting at Alexandra Park, Mornington attracted the most money, $200,000 while another project to increase the number of cricket nets from four to six at the same oval received another $194,000. At the other end of the scale, a charity that provides mobile showers for homeless people in Frankston was given $20,149 after receiving 656 votes. The Mobile Shower 4 Homeless has been operating for more than two years, helping people on the streets and facing hardship in Frankston, Dandenong, Narre Warren, Cranbourne, Chelsea,
Pakenham and Doveton. The money will allow the group to “upgrade from a trailer to a truck, so our friends can get more privacy”. Back at Dallas Brooks Park, the Mornington Soccer Club gets $144,530 for windows and a verandah to provide “wet weather viewing”. Also in the sporting area, was $196,000 (395 votes) to expand the existing 12 kilometres of mountain bike trails at Arthurs Seat State Park. An entertaining idea for Sunday Sessions at the Briars, Mt Martha attracted $71,270 after receiving 270 votes. The monthly Sunday event over summer is described as “a family event that combines music, sports, health and wellbeing”. Another “family-friendly” monthly event is a farmers’ market at Mt Martha Farmers' Market. The $146,900 (311 votes) will provide “a place to gather, meet up with friends and family while sharing ideas. It's about accessing fresh produce while supporting and encouraging the local economy and creating a connection to food production”. The 125-year-old Coolart Homestead at Somers receives $196,910 (240 votes) “to help restore the house and its heritage and, more importantly, open up rooms that can be used by visiting artists and writers, for community meetings, public events and education programs, subject to Parks Victoria approval. From there, the chosen projects all deal with relationship and family problems. The $178,000 going to Women in Recovery From Domestic and Family Violence in the peninsula region (341 votes) will be used to create “tailored retreats to maximise the potential for transformative, permanent healing”. Mums Supporting Families in Need (435 votes) will use its $40,000 to supply essential material aid to families fleeing “necessitous and violent circumstances … to start life again”. The Frankston-based Women’s Spirit Project (240 votes) receives $50,600 to help 25 women “build their mental, emotional and physical resilience through a unique adventure-based, life skills program that will develop their goal setting, communication, problem solving, parenting and budgeting skills”.

School secures cash: Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny visited Bonbeach Primary to announce $2.6 million in funds. Picture: Supplied
THE Labor state government has announced a $2.6 million funding boost for Bonbeach Primary School for the construction of a new early centre for pre-schoolers. The funding is not reliant on the upcoming state election, and is budgeted under the 2018-19 round of the Children’s Facilities Capital Program. The rebuilt preschool will be constructed alongside Bonbeach primary School’s $6.3 million new main school building announced in March. Minister for Early Childhood Education Jenny Mikakos and Carrum

Keeping social with Banksia Frankston BEING a carer for a person living with Alzheimer’s disease can have many ups and downs. Seaford resident Cathie, 73, says connecting with others is vital for her. ’Meeting other people and knowing that you’re not the only one, you feel that if they can get through it, you can get through it too.’ Her husband Arthur, also 73, arrived in Australia from Scotland in 1969, working as a tram conductor, in the days before public transport fares were automated. Before leaving Scotland to try his luck Down Under, Arthur began dating Cathie. After months of writing to her from the other side of the world, Arthur finally put his true feelings to paper, sending Cathie a long distance love letter, asking her to marry him. The following year, Cathie joined Arthur in Melbourne, and they married in Kew, later having two boys. Many years down the track, in 2009, the couple retired on the New South Wales coast, enjoying the relaxation and lifestyle on offer in the local retirement community. Following Arthur’s diagnosis with Alzheimer’s disease two years ago, they made the difficult decision to move back to Melbourne to be closer to their two sons. To assist their parents, the sons made contact with Brotherhood Aged Care, and have since been provided with a range of services. Through the organisation’s Care at Home program, they have the very practical
assistance of a cleaner. They were also introduced to the Brotherhood’s Banksia Frankston Respite Centre, a specialist dementia care facility. Arthur now attends every week on a Thursday, taking part in activities such as carpet bowls and even Thai Chi classes. For Cathie, as full-time carer to Arthur, Banksia also provides her with an opportunity to relax. ’Arthur enjoys it there. He meets people in similar circumstances to himself and I get the time to myself, which is good’, Cathie says. ‘They have six rooms, where Arthur can stay overnight, and there are things like weekend outings that I can go to, and Arthur can stay at Banksia for that time.’ ‘It’s easy come, easy go,’ says Arthur. ‘It’s very casual. Everyone has got something to do and it’s very easy. It’s good to get out.’ Through the Brotherhood, Cathie and Arthur also enjoy monthly movie nights, and evenings at their local RSL Club. The time they spend at the RSL has allowed them to make new friends and mingle with other people in similar situations.‘You find there’s a lot of things the others say that you can relate to,’ says Cathie. ‘The more we go to these social things, naturally the more people we meet. Just meeting people in similar circumstances to you, you don’t still feel like you’re the only one.’ Cathie also joins the Brotherhood’s Carer Support Group which meets once a month, to connect with other

Stop the destruction of our wildlife My fellow residents, have we voted councillors into local government who are hell bent on destroying our delightful rural lifestyle? The destruction of many, many hectares of native grasses, bushland, and who knows which or how many species of fauna, including skinks and plovers (which nest on the ground) is of real concern for those of us who reside on the Western Port side [of the Mornington Peninsula]. Properties on Frankston-Flinders Road, Bittern, Graydens Road, Hastings and High Street, Hastings have recently been sold to developers for the building of hundreds of houses.. People ask why are there are snakes in built up areas and kangaroos at Melbourne airport? Guess what? We are allowing the bulldozing and development of their habitat. Where do we think these animals will get a drink? They don’t want to be in your backyard, but their homes are being destroyed at an alarming rate. Please, challenge your local councillor for an answer and voice these concerns. Maureen Sharpe, Bittern
Talk about anthem Recently, nine-year-old Queensland schoolgirl Harper Neilsen took a brave “stand” (excuse the pun) to the debate and the relevance of our national anthem. For such a young person she certainly is articulate. I too have thought the words inappropriate, especially with regard our First Nation people and our refugees. Do people really understand what they are singing? I think not. Maybe a more appropriate song would be Bruce Woodley’s “I am, you are, we are Aus-
tralian”. ABC TV has been playing it of late, promoting programs. Check out the song and lyrics on YouTube. Let the conversation on our national anthem continue. Denise Hassett, Mt Martha
Care for elderly The recent [ABC TV’s] Four Corners series and announcement of a royal commission into aged care have focussed media attention on some very poor practices in the industry and the community is rightly outraged. It would be easy to think that all aged care residences are the same and so be anxious about loved ones. On the morning after the royal commission was announced I received a very thoughtful email from a family member, shared below (names withheld). It’s a timely reminder of the excellent care we provide at Andrew Kerr through our compassionate and professional staff. All of our residents are important and treated with dignity, respect and care. We have established a resident food forum to help chose the menu and suggest weekly specials. The menus are reviewed by independent dieticians and all food is prepared and cooked on site in our new kitchen by Andrew Kerr staff. Fresh fruit is always available and residents can change their meals so they only get what they like. “You may not remember meeting me the other week and I mentioned that my mother was at Andrew Kerr for over 13 years; in this time I was very pleased with the way she was cared for and treated with respect, compassion and humour by staff. This care spanned very different needs over the years and was always
appropriate for her needs at the time. I was also impressed by the support I was given by staff, particularly in her final few days.” Andrew Kerr continues to assist older peninsula residents to live dignified, secure and rewarding lives. We are the only independent stand-alone facility on the Peninsula, proud of our community base and not for profit status. Angela Dixon, CEO Andrew Kerr Care, Mornington
developers, including overseas absentee developers looking for a quick buck at our expense.

Liberal way ahead Despite the hegemony of state and federal parliamentary representatives, in the past my vote has been either informal or given to a socially thinking and competent candidate from any persuasion other than from the conservative parties. Unless we change the died in the wool thinking of the existing MPs such as Mornington MP David Morris, Hastings MP Neale Burgess and Flinders MP Greg Hunt (forget Dunkley as I believe Chris Crewther has virtually no chance to retain his seat with the recent redistribution of boundaries giving Labor’s Peta Murphy her best opportunity to balance out the current inequities and provide genuine socially democratic leadership for the people of Frankston, Carrum Downs and parts of the Mornington Peninsula). Mention must be made of Russell Joseph who has shown the best intentions to replace Dromana MP Martin Dixon. Mr Joseph listens and responds to petitioners, unlike many of the other incumbents. Why don’t the existing Liberal MPs - Hunt, Burgess and Morris - consider doing something positive about the green wedge? We have heard a few policies and seen publicity photographs, but now is the time to show some leadership and form a Liberals for a Greener Protected Mornington Peninsula Alliance. These politicians could show genuine concern for protecting our unique non-urban, recreational and residential region. Towns like Mornington, Rosebud and Hastings and villages of Mt Eliza, Mt Martha and Rye are under threat from rapacious property
Some say it takes 21 days to form a habit. If that’s the case, Aussies who started to make small changes to reduce their stroke risk can be well on their way to a healthier future. On behalf of the Stroke Foundation, I would like to congratulate all those who helped spread the stroke prevention message during Stroke Week 2018. I also want to take the opportunity to say it is not too late to make some simple changes to your daily routine which would make a positive difference to your health and potentially even save your life. Stroke is a devastating disease which can change lives in an instant, but 80 per cent of strokes are preventable by managing blood pressure and cholesterol and living a healthy lifestyle. During National Stroke Week, with the help of thousands of incredible volunteers right around the country, we shared our five tips for a healthy life and a reduced stroke risk - stay active, eat a healthy, balanced diet, drink alcohol only in moderation, quit smoking and make time to see your doctor for a health check. There will be around 56,000 strokes in Australia in 2018. Stroke attacks the brain, which controls our movements, speech, understanding and emotions. I urge you to stop reaching for the salt or sugary drinks, walk an extra block to work or take the stairs instead of the lift. These small steps can go a long way to reducing your stroke risk. Sharon McGowan, CEO Stroke Foundation

Council call on development overturned Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A FRANKSTON council decision to deny a permit to a planned 9 to 10 storey development on the Nepean Highway has been overturned by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. VCAT confirmed that land at 424/426 Nepean Highway could be used for “the use and development of the land for a multi-storey building for retail, dwellings, & serviced apartments.”
Orion International Group was the applicant appealing the decision of council to deny the permit. VCAT heard that Orion International Group were seeking permission to build “a nine/ten storey mixed use building containing retail uses, dwellings, dwellings identified as allowing their use as Home Occupations, serviced apartments, and car parking spaces.” The tribunal “decided in favour of the applicant and have ordered that a permit be issued for the proposal as de-
scribed in the amended plans.” This site is located on the corner of Nepean Highway and Beach Street and has a frontage to Kananook Creek Boulevard. The ruling stated that within the potential 10 storey development, that “except with the written consent of the Responsible Authority, the number of serviced apartments in the development must not exceed 47.” Council contended that the “building’s 30-33.8 metre height is not acceptable because it is greater than 20
metres tall.” Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said that “council’s opinion was that they would not have given a permit, as the building exceeds out height limit of 20 metres.” VCAT Member Michael Nelthorpe noted in his verdict that “regarding the loss of amenity through overshadowing, Mr Biles [witness for the applicant] identifies that shade from this proposal only falls on the rear boundaries of the properties at 127 and 129 Gould Street until 9.15am-9.30am at
the equinox. He says that this is not a significant impact and I agree with him. “Regarding overlooking, I am satisfied that the distance between the proposed building and these residential properties is more than sufficient to achieve an acceptable outcome regarding loss of amenity through overlooking. Accordingly, I find the height of the proposed building is acceptable.” This permit will expire if development is not completed within five years of the date of the permit.

Warning given on election signs on council land Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON council has voted in favour of a move to remain apolitical during the upcoming state election by voting to ensure election material is not placed on council property. The council voted unanimously at
the 1 October meeting to reaffirm that “whilst acknowledging the importance of freedom of political expression, council is committed to ensuring that public land is not dominated by election signs, and that election campaign activities do not override the objective of council event.” The motion will see a letter sent
to local representatives and candidates reminding them of this policy. “Any candidate must seek permission from the land owner before putting up a sign,” Frankston council CEO Dennis Hovenden said. “If you expect to put signs up on council land, don’t do it.” Political signs will be covered on council land in the caretaker
period from 30 October up until the election on 24 November. It was indicated that Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke’s sign at Frankston Park will be an example of those that will be removed. Cr Glenn Aitken cautioned that the campaigning during elections can sometimes lead to “sinister activities.”
“There are hands and feet moving in the night,” Cr Aitken said. “Voodoo type of stuff.” Cr Brian Cunial recounted his experience with election signs at the last council election, proclaiming “I had a black texta penis drawn on mine.” “It was quite graphic,” Cr Aitken said.
Gearing up for the garage sale trail RESIDENTS in Kingston and Frankston are getting prepared to say goodbye to old trinkets and knickknacks wit the annual Garage Sale Trail around the corner. The trail, taking place on 20 and 21 October, encourages people nationwide to hold garage sales. Chris Exell of Frankston East said she can’t wait to see what the event will bring. “I have been collecting on and off for years, and some of the items I am selling will be hard to part with, but it’s time for me to pass them on to someone who will appreciate them as much as I have,” she said. “Many of the items have been in my family for generations, such as the vintage toy cars and children’s rocking duck. I also have tools, garden equipment, books, furniture and loads

of other stuff I plan on dragging out of the shed.” The event aims to encourage people to choose to reuse, reduce waste and minimise their impact on the earth. Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton said “the average household who participated in last year’s event made around $370, and in the lead up to Christmas, every little bit helps.” Frankston City’s annual hard rubbish collection has been pushed back by six months, with council instead encouraging residents to use the trail to sell on some of their old things they might have thrown out. The Garage Sale Trail is in its eight year, and Frankston council is one of 140 signed on to participate. Over 60 households have registered a sale in Frankston City.

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

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

Steven O’Donnell put on a stunning batting performance, toiling his way to a century before being dismissed by Geoffrey Glaum for a whopping 104. Glaum’s bowling was the standout for Rosebud, finishing with 3/18 off 8 overs. From there Rosebud had a little more luck, as Heatherhill went from 0/127 to 4/144. Heatherhill ended up posting an impressive total of 221 to set Rosebud an almighty target. The task would prove to be too much, as Brett Maxwell claimed four wickets and Jake Theobold three. Theobold’s calps would all come in the same over, as he only conceded 12 runs from his eight overs. Rosebud only completed 21 of theri 40 overs, as they finished all out for 68. At Ferrero Reserve, Seaford took on Mt Martha in what would turn out to be an entertaining clash. The Tigers went in to bat first, and kept the run rate high. David James put together a knock of 56, the vast majority coming from boundaries. The rest of the card also worked hard with few people not performing well, as the Tigers put together a mammoth total of 8/232. Michael Clavin had a mixed day with ball in hand for Mt Martha, claiming two wickets but bowling 11 wides and 8 no balls. Mt Martha put in a respectable effort chasing Seaford, but ultimately fell short. Their first wicket fell for just 1, before they recovered to post 7/173. Opener Alex Mason was their best performer, posting 69 runs. Kanakook Reserve played host to Seaford and Delacombe Park, with Seaford winning the toss. They went in to bat first, but endured a difficult start. Seaford quickly fell to 3/15 before their middle order started firing. Their middle order batsmen put on 103 runs to steady the ship, but their side let them down. They finished at 9/136 and would have to work hard to defend their total.
Delacombe Park also got off to a shaky start, falling to 2/21. They bounced back quickly though, with Ricky Ramsdale’s 57 not out helping his team to 3/140, securing a 7 wicket win. Carrum and Hastings battled it out at Hasting Park, with Carrum choosing to bat first. Carrum got off to a strong start, with their first drop and number four batsmen Dent and D’Atri combining in an impressive partnership. Jake Hewitt eventually dismissed them both, which sparked a nasty batting collapse. Their tail contributed just four runs to the total of 141. Hastings looked to stamp their authority quickly, as Robert Hearn put on 66 runs to put his side in the box seat. They reached the target with three overs to spare, securing a comfortable six wicket win.
SUB DISTRICT
FRANKSTON YCW battled hard but narrowly gave up their lead over Tyabb at Peninsula Reserve. YCW had Matthew Black to thank for their strong start, as he passed his half century on his way to 59 runs before being caught out. The YCW middle order also contributed well, as they put together a defendable total of 5/158. Although Frankston may have felt good about defending 158, Tyabb opener Aaron Edwards quickly put a
dagger through their hearts by posting a dominant innings of 85 runs. He hit three sixes, and was helped by a handy 27 runs from his opening partner. Sam Fulton finally claimed Edwards’ wicket but the damage was done, as Tyabb claimed the win by eight wickets. Carrum Downs faced off a challenge from Boneo to claim a strong win to kick off their season. Adam Mikkelson got things started on the right foot for his side, contributing 45 runs with six fours. Carrum Downs’ middle order performed well as they finished at 9/148 after 40 overs. Boneo struggled to keep touch with Carrum Downs’ run rate, and were losing wickets at a rapid rate. David Dervan and Chris Moloney were the best performers with ball in hand, with figures of 4/20 and 3/18 respectively. Boneo lost the match after being bowled out for 117. Balnarring pulled off a masterstroke against Rye by sending them in to bat, as they quickly ran through them. Only two Rye batsmen reached double digits, as their side was left all out for 81. Balnarring then made easy work of chasing down the run total, claiming the win with 9 wickets in hand. Tootgarook’s decision to send Skye in to bat also proved smart, as Skye struggled badly. Captain and opening batsman Clint
MT ELIZA and Pearcedale battled it out in a thrilling matchup at Emil Madsen Reserve on Saturday 6 October. Mt Eliza won the toss and elected to bat first, and that would prove to be a wise choice. Tim Clarke quickly got his eye in, and went on to post a massive total. He reached a well earned century before being caught out for 124. His opening partner and first drop didn’t help his cause though, as they were both dismissed for a total of 1. Mt Eliza’s middle order played their part, as they clawed their way to an impressive target of 4/218. Pearcedale would have to be on top of their game to get close, but they had an opening weapon of their own. Joshua Swainston showed Mt Eliza that his side wouldn’t take the loss lying down, as he had a brilliant knock of 101 runs. His dismissal put his sides’ chances in doubt, but they eventually held on to claim the winning runs off the final delivery of the day to get a narrow 3 wicket win. Langwarrin took on Baxter in their opening clash for the season, with Baxter choosing to bat first. Baxter’s top order all performed serviceably, but run rate became an issue as the afternoon went on. Leigh Paterson conceded just 9 runs from his 8 overs to frustrate Baxter and limit them to a final total of 7/142. Langwarrin made short work of that total upon coming in to bat, with a 127 run partnership between Thomas Hussey and Taylor Smith helping Baxter claim a thumping nine wicket win. Mornington played host to Peninsula OB at Baxter Park, with both sides keen to claim a victory to get their seasons started off the right way. Peninsula OB won the toss and elected to bat, with their no.3 batsman Wade Pelzer putting on a 58 run show before a frustrating run out. Mornington cycled through their bowlers, with Glenn Wood’s 2/21 off 7 overs being the most impressive. Peninsula OB had performers across their entire side, as they finished at an impressive 8/213. Mornington came in to bat with a big target to chase, and run rate proved to be the biggest issue. Wickets were not falling too quickly, but Mornington were not scoring fast enough. Benjamin Clements contributed 61 runs, but his side’s total of 146 was not enough. The final match of the round pitted Flinders against Sorrento in what would prove to be a one sided affair. Sorrento’s Jake Wood, who would finish with figures of 3/11, tore through Flinders’ top order and left them reeling at 3/9. Flinders finished up at all out for 75, a total which Sorrento chased in just 21 overs. Jedd Falck’s 31 runs was Sorrento’s highest total in their simple run chase.

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

Knox and along with his assistant Neil Standish jumped at the chance to work at Centenary Park. “I was very impressed with Trevor Johnston and the committee and their plans for the club,” Verdun said. “Their passion to take the club forward matches what we want to do as coaches.” Verdun has become the pied piper of State League soccer with a core group of players following him from club to club and it will be no surprise if Michael Hoogendyk, Grant Lane, Paul McEvoy, Jordan Avraham, Nick Giannopoulos, Kyle Crawford and Colin McCormack are among an influx of new players for the upcoming season. Striker Matthew Hames won’t join that group as he is due to go to the UK in December to work as a teacher. Verdun will hold a players’ meeting at Centenary Park on Thursday 1 November. Pre-season training starts on Tuesday 11 December for a fortnight before the Christmas break and will resume on Tuesday 8 January. Strikers already have arranged two pre-season friendlies with Wednesday 23 January pencilled in for a match
at Centenary Park against NPL outfit Kingston City starting at 7pm. On Saturday 9 February Strikers will play Collingwood City at Centenary Park at 4pm and 6pm. Castillo takes over as Southern’s senior coach from Aaron Myatt who rejected an offer to coach the under19s leaving Debbie Nichols and Emma Bracken as the club’s remaining foundation coaches. Castillo joined the academy at famous Uruguayan outfit Nacional as a 12-year-old and spent a season in second division with Rentista before migrating to Australia in 1979. He has been involved as a development coach at Endeavour United working with both boys and girls and has coached Laverton Park’s senior women’s team. He also has coached at Casey Comets (then Cranbourne) and was in charge of the under-16 boys at Skye United this year. In 2010 Castillo returned to Uruguay and attended a 40-day youth development course under the supervision of world renowned Uruguayan coach Óscar Tabárez. Southern technical director Harry
Chalkitis is expected to conduct interviews this week with candidates for the under-19 job. In NPL2 news Langwarrin has been linked with moves for Kostas and Chris Droutsas from Eastern Lions and David Stirton from Dandenong City. The Droutsas brothers played pivotal roles in Eastern Lions’ third-placed finish last season while Stirton was Dandenong City’s second top scorer. Former Bentleigh Greens, Hume City and current Oakleigh Cannons midfielder Wayne Wallace has also been mentioned as a Langy target. However the Lawton Park club could have a battle on its hands retaining striker John Kuol who is firmly on Dandenong City’s radar. The word is that Langy head coach Scott Miller’s phone has been running hot recently and pre-season training is expected to be highly competitive. One possible hiccup in the club’s preparations is doubt about Connor Belger’s return from his native England. Meanwhile Matt Morris-Thomas is expected to be re-appointed senior coach of Seaford United as soon as a
new committee is elected at the club’s upcoming AGM. The club finished in the relegation zone in State 3 South-East but has been in contact with FFV regarding any possible knock-on effect of Morwell Pegasus withdrawing from State 1 competition during last season. It’s understood that FFV told Seaford that its fate remains uncertain. Morwell is believed to have applied for a spot in State 2 South-East but FFV may decide to only accept the club into a much lower league. Irrespective of the outcome MorrisThomas anticipates quite a few new faces at North Seaford Reserve next season. “The most important thing is to stop the club from sliding any further down the leagues,” Morris-Thomas said. “I’ll definitely be trying to recruit players and I’m expecting a pretty big turnover in the first team squad.” In other news Mark Pagliarulo has signed for Somerville Eagles and the big Scottish striker is delighted with his move. “I went for a wee chat and a pint and after hearing about the new players coming in and what they have planned I was blown away,” Pagliarulo said. “I’ve also got the opportunity to help Stan (Packer) with the academy they’re trying to set up so I will still do a bit of coaching.” “Pags” coached Bulleen’s NPL under-15s this year and came out of retirement late last season to help Baxter in its successful fight to avoid relegation. He lacks little in confidence and is looking forward to linking with Somerville player-coach David Greening and Louis Griffiths up front. “You can interview me when I steal Greening’s Golden Boot at the title party,” Pagliarulo added. Frankston Pines will hold an extraordinary AGM on Thursday after failing to elect an executive committee at its AGM two weeks ago and Hamdija “Boz” Osmancevic is expected to again contest the presidency. Osmancevic was the only candidate for the role at the recent AGM and was duly elected but later stood down amid argument over the club’s future and his management plans. This time however he is expected to have a rival for the top job. Current vice-president Steve Spencer confirmed last weekend that former vice-president Daniel Plaiche would stand and the pair were due to meet as we went to print.

Freedman’s sprinters star in Premiere FREEDMAN Racing’s star sprinters, Shoals and Santa Ana Lane, are right on target for the $13 million The Everest after running the quinella in the Group Two Premiere Stakes at Randwick on Saturday 29 October. Santa Ana Lane (first) and Shoals (second) left several Everest competitors in their wake, including last year’s Everest winner Redzel, after scorching the turf to run a track record of 1.07.45s. Mornington-based trainer Anthony Freedman said it will just be about keeping them at their peak for the feature event on Saturday 13 October.
“They are easy horses to travel and both have done a bit of that,” Freedman said. “Now it’s just a question of keeping them up to the mark over the next two weeks. “I think the track may have been a bit firm for Shoals so a bit of rain between now and the race would suit her.” Assistant trainer Sam Freedman was also full of praise following the pairs run. “He (Santa Ana Lane) was fantastic, it was great ride by Benny (Melham), he knows the horse so well,” he said. “I thought he was going to run
out of time, I thought they were going to get away from him, but fortunately he’s got her right on the line. “Santa we’ll just keep him happy now, he’s probably right where we need him to be, Shoals probably had a little bit of improvement to come, she’ll come on for that and both will be right where we need them to be in two weeks’ time.” Ben Triandafillou Record time: Santa Ana Lane takes out the Group Two Premiere Stakes at Randwick to set a new track record.

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

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