Councillor ‘breached’ conduct code

Green dream win

ASPENDALE’S St Louis de Montfort’s School is celebrating again after capping several award winning years for its sustainability precinct by being named ‘School of the Decade’ at Sustainability Victoria’s ResourceSmart Schools Awards.

See Page 6. Picture: Gary Sissons

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au MORE than $30,000 of ratepayers’ money has been spent by Kingston Council this year to pay independent arbiters to investigate code of conduct complaints by councillors about fellow councillors.

It was revealed at the 23 October public council meeting that a statement on a pre-election campaign flyer distributed by Cr Rosemary West last year was found to have breached the councillor code of conduct after an investigation by an arbiter hired by council.

It was one of several complaints lodged by Cr Geoff Gledhill, the Liberal candidate for Mordialloc at next year’s state election, about fellow Central ward Cr Rosemary West’s election flyer and comments made by Cr West on social media.

Two arbiters in two separate reports investigated comments made by Cr West about Cr Gledhill’s voting on council’s policy related to protecting green wedge areas from inappropriate development and the contentious debate about narrowing Beach Rd to build the Mentone to Mordialloc section of the Bay Trail.

Councillors discussed the arbiters’ reports at the latest public council meeting held on Monday 23 October.

Comments made by Cr West on Facebook about the Bay Trail project

Cnr Springvale Rd & Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights PH: 9773 4453 www.chelseaheightshotel.com.au 12370121-DJ44-17

were found to not be in breach of the council’s councillor code of conduct by barrister Ragu Appudurai.

A statement on Cr West’s election campaign flyer about voting on green wedge matters during the previous four-year council term was in breach of the code, according to arbiter Peter Harris.

A majority of councillors backed Cr West’s call at the October council meeting to make both arbiters’ reports public.

Several councillors at the meeting criticised the lengthy amount of time it had taken to investigate the complaints and called on the complaints process to be streamlined.

The investigations began in December last year and were finalised this month.

Cr Ron Brownlees said: “I think it is outrageous that it should take so long to resolve something when council is spending thousands of dollars to pay the professionals to get an outcome and do the investigations.”

Crs Steve Staikos and both Cr West and Cr Gledhill also voiced dissatisfaction at the lengthy complaints handling process.

“The time taken with these matters, I can only describe it as ‘ridiculous’,” Cr Gledhill said. “It’s not fair on everyone involved.”

Conduct complaints costly Continued from Page 1 Crs West, Staikos, Georgina Oxley and Ron Brownlees voted at the meeting to release both reports by the arbiters.

The motion also indicated Cr West need not make a formal apology to Cr Gledhill over the statement on the flyer found to have breached the code of conduct.

Crs Bearsley, Gledhill, Tamara Barth and George Hua abstained from voting.

The mayor Cr David Eden did not indicate how he voted. No division calling for councillors’ votes to recorded in the meeting minutes was made.

“I never expected her [Cr West] to say sorry because it would be like me trying to speak Aztec or something like that,” Cr Gledhill said at the meeting.

Cr West expressed discontent with the arbiter’s report that found she breached the councillor code of conduct.

“If I were to apologise then I would have to apologise for telling the truth.”

Cr Bearsley had suggested at the public council meeting that Cr West be ordered by fellow councillors to make an apology to Cr Gledhill and be banned from attending two monthly council meetings.

Cr Gledhill said he would introduce a notice of motion at November’s council meeting asking councillors to vote to publicly release previous code of conduct investigation reports including a report by

That report found bullying allegations by a council officer against Crs West, Staikos and then councillor Trevor Shewan lodged before 2012 council elections were “unsubstantiated”.

Earlier this year two separate code of conduct complaints by Cr West about Cr Brownlees and Cr Gledhill were found to be unsubstantiated.

The Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC) also found this year that Cr Brownlees had no case to answer over vot-

ing on green wedge planning matters after Cr West lodged a complaint to IBAC. The latest two arbiters’ reports triggered by Cr Gledhill’s complaints about Cr West cost ratepayers $19,250 bringing the total bill for code of conduct investigations to $34,650 this year.

Council corporate services general manager Paul Franklin confirmed councillors are allowed to vote on internal disputes despite being party to complaints under an exemption in the Local Government Act.

Brothel busters ‘on beat’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A CALL from councils to bolster policing of illegal brothels masquerading as massage businesses has been answered by the state government insisting existing resources are enough to crack down on dodgy operators.

Kingston Council won backing from councils across Victoria at a Municipal Association of Victoria state council meeting in October to urge the Labor state government to set up a taskforce to tackle massage parlours offering illegal extra services (“State brothel busters call wins support”, The News 25/10/17).

Victorian Police Minister Lisa Nev-

ille has responded by saying Victoria Police’s Sex Industry Coordination Unit (SICU) established in 2012 has “a specific focus on disrupting illegal brothel activities”.

Kingston mayor Cr David Eden, representing council at the MAV meeting, has said council appreciates police efforts to investigate illegal brothels but ratepayers are increasingly copping bills of about $3000 each time council hires private investigators to bust illegal brothel operators.

Council revealed five massage parlours across Chelsea and Mentone have been caught recently offering extra illegal services and five others are under investigation.

“I am aware of the local community’s concerns around alleged unli-

censed brothels, and police are working closely with the industry, state and federal authorities to investigate and disrupt illegal brothel activity,” Ms Neville said in a statement.

“We have always said we will give Victoria Police the powers and resources needed to keep Victoria safe.

This area is no exception.”

The SICU was formed five years ago under the former Coalition state government headed by then premier Ted Baillieu.

Victoria Police said local police work with the SICU on illegal brothel cases.

“The investigation and response to illegal activity in the sex industry – as with any industry – is delivered by local police, resulting in a state-wide

response to the issue,” Victoria Police spokesperson Hannah McDonald said.

Ms McDonald said Operation Visita representatives meet with and inform operators of suspected unlicensed brothels that the provision of sexual services without a licence is an offence in Victoria.

Operation Visita is a joint SICU, Australian Federal Police and the Department of Immigration and Border Security operation.

The state government advised police charged 19 offenders with 43 offences in 2016-17 related to illegal sex work.

The Victoria Police SICU was initially staffed by a handful of officers.

Victoria Police would not disclose the number of officers working in the unit for operational reasons.

‘Dunny debate’ finally at end

Damage done

BURGLARS caused $2000 damage to a roller door when using a jemmy bar to break into a Parkdale garage, overnight Monday 23 October.

They also damaged fuses when turning off the electricity supply to the Evans St property.

Safe taken

THE long-running debate over demolishing the Granary Lane toilet block in Mentone has come to an end after councillors voted to keep the existing building but close it to the public.

The public convenience has been an inconvenience and drain on council resources for the past few months.

Councillors have discussed the toilet block’s fate at several council meetings and have pored over council officers’ reports recommending the building be demolished to make way for a new modern public toilet building.

Debate over mosaic artwork on the Granary Lane loo’s exterior — fastened to the mid 1980s built building in 2002 by unemployed volunteers — being valuable “public art” meant councillors were divided on knocking down the building.

A compromise was agreed at the

23 October public council meeting.

Councillors decided to save the Granary Lane block from demolition but voted to close its doors to the public after a new toilet block is built at 42 Florence St. “I think this is the best compromise we can get. Most councillors don’t want to see the toilets remain open,” Cr Rosemary West said at the meeting.

Cr Tamsin Bearsley was a sole dissenter against closing the Granary Lane loos, saying several people who live and work in Mentone have made it clear they want the toilet block to stay at its current location.

“They are well used, they aren’t in good condition, I get that, but I actually think the location seems to work for the residents of Mentone,” Cr Bearsley said.

A modern Mettros built public toilet will be installed “against the wall” at 42 Florence St “opening west into the carpark” nearby.

A council officers’ report tabled at the latest council meeting noted this option means “the loss of passive surveillance and public safety, particularly from central Mentone” and extra works to connect the new toilet block to power, water, sewer and storm water connections on the western side of the car park.

The decision to keep the mosaic clad toilet block building intact at Granary Lane and install west facing Mettros restrooms will cost about $155,000 against a cost of $105,000 if the original toilet building was demolished.

split with councils across Victoria by investing an extra $112.6 million each year towards the SES units across the state.

Kingston mayor Cr David Eden said council will continue to support the Chelsea and Moorabbin SES units and thanked volunteers for their efforts helping the community in times of need.

Council provides about $117,000 worth of in-kind support for both units’ accommodation.

“Kingston Council will be proud to continue its other support to ensure our local SES units are supported,” Cr Eden said.

“Our local SES volunteers do an

incredible job helping those in need and Council is pleased to support them in their great work.”

Chelsea SES spokesman Phil Wall noted Kingston Council had never wavered in its support for local crews.

Some other councils pulled funding last year before the state government announced it would end the 50-50 funding split with local government and pick up the total funding tab.

“The City of Kingston pledged their ongoing support of our unit last year when there was a lot of uncertainty regarding SES funding by some local councils,” Mr Wall said.

“This simply confirms that they

intend to stand by the promises that were made back then which is fantastic.”

Chelsea SES controller Ron Fitch said the unit has “a great relationship” with council.

“It is wonderful to have the certainty that these funds deliver, especially when added to their tangible support and working partnership, involved in the construction of the new Chelsea headquarters,” he said.

The state government confirmed in its May annual budget that $2.8 million is on its way to build a new base on the corner of Nepean Highway and Station St, Aspendale for Chelsea area state emergency services.

A SAFE containing a quantity of cash and jewellery was stolen from the bedroom of a Patterson Lakes house, Tuesday 24 October.

Thieves also stole an iPhone and a tablet from the Shell Court house.

The total value of the haul was $4100.

Burglars active

State emergency costs are covered THE tab for some funding provided by ratepayers to state emergency services units will now be picked up by state taxpayers.

Kingston Council will no longer contribute about $16,000 annually to Chelsea and Moorabbin units of the SES but the state government will ensure there is no overall loss of funding from the 2017-18 financial year onwards.

Council is ending the funding from ratepayers since the state government decided to axe a 50-50 funding

Police patrol

A LASER level valued at $1400 was stolen from the garage of a Lawrence Avenue, Aspendale property overnight, Wednesday 25 October.

In the same street about the same time, power tools and microphones valued at $10,000 were stolen from a van parked in a neighbour’s driveway.

Plates the target

POLICE are recommending motorists use one-way screws after number plates were stolen from cars parked in Golden Avenue and Bath St, Chelsea, and from two cars in Ivan Avenue, Edithvale, overnight Tuesday 24 October.

Showrooms targeted

THIEVES stole a variety of items from four adjoining factory showrooms in Braeside, 1.07am, Saturday 28 October.

CCTV footage shows two men rifling through cupboards and stealing quantities of razor blades, electric toothbrushes, vitamins, two laptops, and a cash box from the Jarrah Drive premises.

One is described as wearing dark jacket and long pants, the other long pants and a light-coloured jacket.

MPs divided over assisted dying Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A CONSCIENCE vote on the Voluntary Assisting Dying Bill passed by the Victorian Parliament’s lower house last week saw Labor comrades in marginal “sandbelt” seats along the Frankston line split on the contentious bill.

Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny and Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke voted to back the bill, introduced by Victorian Health Minister Jill Hennessy, while Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson voted against the move to legalise voluntary euthanasia for terminally ill people.

The legislation by the Andrews Labor government took four days to debate before it was passed 47 to 37.

The upper house is expected to vote on the bill in the next few weeks.

Mr Edbrooke described his decades of dealing with death as a firefighter to explain his support of the bill.

“Of course we always did everything within our power to save the lives of trauma patients, including terminally ill people who had made unsuccessful and botched suicide attempts, but regardless of the nature of the injury, the fact is that many times there was little we could do but comfort the dying person until they passed, and console their family,” Mr Edbrooke said.

“Perhaps what remained with me more than those trauma scenes were the many times when I held the hands of dying people and spoke softly to the patients, who were often in horrible pain, to ease them until they passed.”

He said family members always

wanted to if their relative had suffered or was in pain.

Mr Edbrooke said the bill was not a “slippery slope” to abuse or one that would be “extended to vulnerable groups in our society”.

“The small percentage of people that this bill appeals to are already dying, their diagnosis is fatal and their prognosis is dire. They are not solely depressed individuals wanting to die. They often have full faculty, are required to make decisions and are no longer holding onto the chance that they might survive or a miracle might occur.

“These are people begging their families to help them die, starving themselves to death over a month, stopping their dialysis or hoarding tablets to take a lethal dose.”

Mr Richardson cited former prime minister Paul Keating’s intervention in the assisted dying debate to voice his opposition to supporting the bill.

“He [Mr Keating] talked about how the expectations of patients and families will change once the bill has been passed. The culture of dying, despite certain and immense resistance, will gradually permeate into our medical, health, social and institutional arrangements,” Mr Edbrooke said.

Mr Richardson acknowledged “the matter of the way we die … is an inherently difficult and deeply personal topic”.

“No-one wants to see anyone suffer unreasonably. No-one should be subjected to agonising pain. No vulnerable person should be at risk of being coerced or taken advantage of,” the Mordialloc MP said.

Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson

Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny

Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke

“If we lose one person who wrongly takes their life, it would be a failure of this bill and live on in the conscience of all members of the 58th Parliament.

We need to be able to look every Victorian in the eye and know no person has been wrongly put to death.”

Mr Richardson said palliative care in regional and rural areas and for those from lower socio-economic backgrounds should be a priority and “quality mental health care and intervention” could alleviate some of the suffering of the terminally ill.

Ms Kilkenny told parliament “more than 85 per cent of people in my electorate of Carrum support voluntary assisted dying”.

The assisted dying framework in this bill will be one of the most conservative and safeguarded in the world. It will be available only to Victorians with decision-making capacity who are suffering from a terminal illness and are expected to die within 12 months,” the Carrum MP said.

“Only people who are already dying will be allowed to access voluntary assisted dying. People with a

mental illness only or a disability only will be ineligible.

“No-one can make a request on behalf of anyone else, and a health practitioner is prohibited from initiating a discussion with their patient about voluntary assisted dying.

“The bill provides a rigorous multistage request and assessment process.

Two doctors must, among other things, attest that the person’s request is voluntary, informed and continuing. The person seeking access to voluntary assisted dying must make three separate requests.

“All up, access to assisted dying under this bill will be available in only very limited circumstances — some might say too limited.

“We want to give people who are dying — maybe not tomorrow, but certainly within weeks or months — the capacity to end their intolerable suffering if that is what they want to do.”

Ms Kilkenny said about 50 people in Victoria end their life as a result of a terminal illness.

“If we can prevent those 50 Victorians from taking their lives each year in some of the most distressing and awful

of circumstances and spare the families of those Victorians the terrible grief they must feel, not to mention the toll on and cost to our emergency services workers, the Coroners Court and others, then surely we must be compelled to act.

“We have a duty to act. I am so very proud to commend this bill, and I most sincerely hope that it passes this Parliament.”

The bill divided Labor at the top of the party with Premier Daniel Andrews supporting the bill and Deputy Premier James Merlino arguing against legalising assist dying in Victoria.

Bentleigh Labor MP Nick Staikos voted alongside Ms Kilkenny and Mr Edbrooke to support the bill.

On the Mornington Peninsula, Liberal state MPs were also divided on legalising assisted dying.

Mornington MP David Morris backed the bill. Hastings MP Neale Burgess and Nepean MP Martin Dixon voted against its progress to an upper house vote.

School scoops more awards AN ASPENDALE school has seen years of work on its Sustainability Precinct since 2013 featuring an outdoor kitchen, vegetable gardens and animal enclosures pay off with two big wins at Sustainability Victoria’s ResourceSmart Schools Awards.

St Louis de Montfort’s School was named the ‘School of the Decade’ and ‘Leadership School of the Year’ this month by Sustainability Victoria.

Pupils and staff at the primary school have worked diligently on looking after the food and produce gardens and animals that live within the St Louis de Montfort School’s grounds.

A kitchen made from converted shipping containers solar panels and wetlands enclosures are prominent features of the school’s sustainability precinct.

“At St Louis we know that sustainable

education is a priority for students today as communities across Australia grapple with the needs of our environment to be sustainable into the future,” School sustainability leader Julie Wynne said.

The latest honours follow an award-winning few years for the 5 Star ResourceSmart school for its environmental work.

The future for Kingston schools looks bright. Carrum Primary School and Mentone Primary School were finalists at this month’s ResourceSmart awards.

“I know that there are many schools doing great work in sustainability, and I want to encourage those that have never entered, or which haven’t for some time, to get involved next year,” Sustainability Victoria interim CEO Stephanie Ziersch said.

Saints slammed before exit Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ST Kilda Football Club has been given a kick on the way out the door of Seaford’s Linen House by Frankston councillors critical of the AFL club’s lack of engagement with the community during its short-lived stay at the training and administration base.

The Saints will go marching out of the Seaford sports centre and head back to Moorabbin, possibly as early as the start of the next AFL season, and councillors now must decide to put the soon to be vacant Linen House to other use.

Councillors at the latest public council meeting on Monday 16 October voted to set up a council committee to begin looking for tenants to move into Linen House after St Kilda FC leaves Seaford.

Longtime councillors still on council who voted to welcome the AFL club to Seaford eight years ago voiced dissatisfaction at promises made that did not pan out in reality.

“I was persuaded over a period of time to vote for St Kilda to go in there,” Cr Colin Hampton said.

“We were told that there would be a $40 million bonus [annually] to the city of Frankston for this club to come here. I haven’t seen any of that.”

Cr Hampton said joint work in the community between St Kilda FC and Frankston Council “happened for a very short time and then ceased”.

Cr Glenn Aitken said he also voted to welcome the Saints to Seaford since councillors at the time were presented with “a very strong business case” that the move would be of economic benefit to the Frankston area.

“As time went by, it became evident that it certainly wasn’t turning out the way that we had hoped or would have preferred it to.”

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 1 November 2017

Frankston Council kicked in about $4 million of ratepayers’ money to a joint AFL, state government and council deal to lure the Saints to Seaford in 2010.

The AFL club paid a peppercorn rent of $1 annually and contributed towards maintenance at Linen House.

Cr Hampton said he hoped Frankston-based “community sporting groups” could move into Linen House when the Saints move out.

“We were expecting much from St Kilda and unfortunately we didn’t get what we thought we were going to get. Hopefully, now we can turn this facility into a community facility.”

The News revealed in May that Cricket Victoria had been in touch with Frankston Council about possibly leasing space at Linen House and mayor Cr Brian Cunial confirmed AFL South East had also expressed an interest (“Cricket play for AFL club training hub”, The News 31/5/17).

Councillors at this month’s council meeting seemed to downplay another lease deal with an organisation based outside Frankston’s borders.

“I think our community and our sporting groups and our interested parties within Frankston are the ones who must get considered first and foremost with the usage of that building,” Cr Aitken said.

Cr Hampton noted sporting organisations, including gymnastics, calisthenics and local football clubs “are knocking on our door” for help to find suitable sports venues.

The council committee, to include “interested councillors”, council CEO Dennis Hovenden and “appropriate council officers” will report back to councillors on a monthly basis about potential future tenants for Linen House.

St Kilda Football Club was approached for comment before publication.

NEWS DESK

Birds, a satirist’s ‘natural’ quarry Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au JOHN Clarke made a name for himself as a stalker of politicians and hypocrites. He managed to pour scorn with a twinkle in his eye and a half smile, leaving his target little choice but to respond in the same way.

Sometimes his barbed comments were so sharp his victim would be impaled before he or she had a chance to realise the space they now occupied.

But Clarke, who died Sunday 9 April this year, also enjoyed a sometimes-solitary pastime that also involved a great deal of subterfuge and stalking. The cutting comedian photographed birds.

He had a special soft spot for the birds that frequented the mangroves, mud and sand banks of Western Port, a sensitive ecosystem that Clarke tried to protect at every opportunity (“Defender of the bay dies while hiking in the hills” The News 11/4/17).

His prize was to capture a memorable image, one that in some way gave the observer an insight into the bird.

His public side - most notably in sketches over the past 25 years with his on-screen foil and long time friend Bryan Dawe that satirised politicians and the pompous - was also designed to leave a lasting image, but it would be one that could be referenced and gauged against the future actions of a public figure.

It is interesting to note the relevance of the weekly Clarke & Dawe “interviews” (now being re-screened by ABC TV), confirming the epigram of French author Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr (1808-1890) “the more things change, the more they stay the same”.

Clarke, 68, owned a house at Phillip Island and was a founding member of Western Port

Images of birds taken by Clarke are now included in a calendar being released to raise money for two organisations which he backed: ABC Friends National and the Trust for Nature.

“John Clarke made us all laugh with his genius wit and satire, but he wasn’t your normal comedian,” ABC Friends National spokesman Ranald Macdonald said.

“He wasn’t prone to public display and overexposure, he was a deeply private person.”

Mr Macdonald said Clarke’s hobby of photographing birds enabled him to “clear his ever-ranging mind” as he took shots at Phillip Island, the Mornington Peninsula ands Bass coast.

“He was a natural photographer, though the photographs must have taken a great deal of time, patience, and concentration to achieve.”

Cigarettes wanted for front line soldiers Compiled by Brodie Cowburn “PLEASE keep on sending us all the cigarettes you can”, was the message received the other day from a commanding officer at the front by the Over-Seas Club Southern Club Tobacco Fund.

Mrs Croft was highly respected in this district and her death is deeply regretted by a large circle of friends. *** GENERAL regret was expressed also when it became known that Mr Arnold Toebleman of Moorooduc had been killed in action. *** A VERY successful ball was held in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, on Friday evening, October 26th, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to improving the sanctuary of the Roman Catholic Church.

Mrs E C Ryan was the energetic secretary and was ably assisted by a willing committee.

The Hall presented a very gay appearance, being most effectively decorated with flags and flowers. *** BIRD Day was observed on the 25th at the Tyabb State School.

The weather was all that could be desired. At 11 oclock the children were conveyed, accompanied by the parents and friends.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 1 November 2017

The committee had decided to lunch in the park but the heavy rains made it too damp.

After lunch had been partaken Mr G. Shepherd gave a very interesting address illustrated by stuffed specimens.

Mr Shepherd has an easy manner of imparting his extensive knowledge of bird life which appeals to young folk. *** SOMERVILLE Fruitgrowers Association - Annual show. Mr Twyford moved that a show be held this year.

Downward for the Mornington Electorate, addressed a meeting of electors at the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Monday evening.

Dr Plowman occupied the chair, and in introducing the candidate, said the time had now arrived in which we could make a choice of candidates.

The past Parliament had been unsatisfactory, and at the present time we wanted new blood to stimulate the energies of our public men.

He had read Mr Anderson’s programme and he had no hesitation in declaring himself in favor of it.

Our Shire Councillors showed better business acumen than the late parliament.

Mr Anderson had spoken in Frankston at the time of the Federal election and had created a very favorable impression.

He had much pleasure in introducing the speaker, and asked that he be given a fair hearing.

Mr Anderson said that he intended to speak in a business way that evening.

The State is a business concern, and should be run by business men.

He was pleased to see so many present, and after he had expressed his views he hoped that they would be so favorably impressed as to determine to

return him at the head of the poll. *** A NUMBER of areas have under the Game Acts been proclaimed by the Governor-in-Council as localities in which, during the whole year, it is unlawful for any person to kill any species of Native Game (birds and other animals).

Full information of these localities can be obtained on application to the Chief Inspector of Fisheries and Game. *** On Friday night Oct 26th the Mount Eliza Church Hall was again the place in which the patriotic spirit was prominently brought foward in the form of a social evening, coin collection being taken at the door, This social was in connection with two important events.

First, to hold a meeting of subscribers to the Mount Eliza District, and scholars of the school Honor Roll which is in the form of a very large frame with the photos of all the brave men that hae left this district to fight for God and Country and Empire.

The meeting was to decide the day the unveiling should take place and the date fixed was on the Saturday, 10th of November at 3 in the afternoon when all well wishers are cordially invited to be present and in the evening a social is to be spent.

This social was also of a patriotic nature, the proceeds of which are to buy suitable gifts for a Bran Pie, to be held at the Mornington Flower Show, which should benefit substantially. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 3 Novemeber 1917

CHELSEA MORDIALLOC MENTONE NEWS

Brad tons have Dogs primed PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON’S Brad McDonald and Brad Wilson have placed their team in a commanding position in MPCA Provincial after both scoring centuries against Pearcedale.

Sam Wiese left the middle after making 33 of the first 49 runs, before McDonald joined Wilson at the crease.

What took place when the two came together was nothing short of a batting master class.

McDonald finished unbeaten on 150 after hitting 15 fours and two sixes, while Wilson was out for 101 when

enough to stop them being skittled in the 74th over.

Mt Eliza skipper Justin Grant was at his dominant best, snaring 4/27 from 23.5 overs, while Lyle House was also superb, picking up 2/27 from 20 overs.

Rob Maskiell took 2/14.

In reply, Mt Eliza has lost Damien Kent and will resume at 1/8.

Langwarrin has set Peninsula Old Boys 217 for victory after winning the toss and batting first in their game.

Matt Prosser was the key for Langwarrin, top scoring with 68, while Jake Prosser was next best with 38.

Jon Forrest was the pick of the POB bowlers with 4/56 from 24 overs.

the score was 290.

Mornington pulled up stumps with six overs left in the day, declaring at 4/298.

Shayne Gillings bowled 24 overs and finished with 2/88 for Pearcedale while Sam Frawley picked up 2/37 from just eight overs.

The Panthers survived the final six overs of the day thanks to openers Brad Trotter and Chris Dew and they’ll resume at 0/12 with a long chase to follow.

The woes of reigning MPCA Provincial champions Baxter continued on Saturday, smashed by Sorrento on the opening day of the first two-day

game of the season.

After winning just one of its first three one-day games this season, Baxter was looking forward to the traditional two-day form of the game.

However, its horror start to the season continued against the Sorras, rolled for just 133 in 60.3 overs.

Once again it was the middle and lower order that offered nothing.

Baxter lost its last six wickets for just 33 runs after being 4/100.

Daniel Warwick top scored with 33 while Todd Quinn came back into the side and opened with 27.

It was a superb performance from the Sorrento bowling attack.

CJ King bowled 12 overs and returned with 4/38, Chathupama Gunasinghe chimed in with 3/25 from 18 overs and Connor McMahon snared 3/34.

In reply, Sorrento will begin day two in a strong position, resuming at 1/47.

The Sorras lost Corey Harris for 15 in the final overs for the day. Jedd Falck will start on 27 not out.

Crib Point will need to produce something pretty special with the ball on the second day of its match against Mt Eliza after being bowled out for 123 on Saturday.

Skipper Matty Blake top scored for the Pies with 30, however, it wasn’t

ter Jayde Herrick took all three wickets for 28 runs off seven overs.

Pines has left Main Ridge with some work to do with the bat on the second day after scoring 234 at Eric Bell Reserve.

The Piners won the toss and batted first and opener Chris Bartczak got the home team away to a flier with 66. Harley Peace-Stirling continued his outstanding start to the season too with a high score of 72. A slight wag of the tale helped the home side over 200.

Oliver McEnroe was the pick of the Main Ridge bowlers with 5/56 from 24.1 overs, while Peter McNamara snared 3/67 from 15 overs.

Red Hill is in the box seat in its match against Delacombe Park after Glenn Collett tore through the batting line up, dominating with an impressive 5/26 from 17 overs, including eight maidens.

Brent Martin was also impressive

for the Hillmen with 4/38 from 30.2 overs, including 15 maidens.

The Parkers just couldn’t score, eventually bowled out in the 74th over for just 137 runs.

Jon Guthrie top scored for the home team with 44 while Nick Christides hit 26.

The Parkers at one stage lost 5/14.

Red Hill will resume this week at 0/4.

Moorooduc has left Flinders with some work to do in their match.

The Ducs batted first and looked to be in some real trouble at 9/104.

However, number 11 Kenny Cremen made 51 and number 10 Reece Cordeux hit 32 to drag the score to 192, a superb performance from those two.

Earlier, Max Royal (3/41) and Dwayne Field (2/32) did some early damage with the ball.

Flinders faced the final eight overs of the day and lost a wicket. They’ll resume at 1/14 this Saturday.

Too close: The Long Island and Somerville match will go down to the wire.

Islanders, Eagle go down to the wire PENINSULA

By IT Gully THE MPCA Peninsula match between Long Island and Somerville will go down to the wire after 13 wickets fell on the opening day of their clash at Ballam Park.

Somerville won the toss and elected to bat in the first two-day game of the season, a decision that didn’t work out too well for them.

It could have been a lot worse had it not been for the efforts of Bailey White (38) and Brenton Alp (22) after coming to the crease at number seven and eight.

At one stage the Eagles were reeling at 5/47. They finished with 136.

Stuart Swift was the Long Island bowler who caused all of the carnage, bowling 14 overs for a return of 6/39.

Long Island faced the final 14 overs of the day and lost three wickets for just 19 runs. They’ll resume at 3/46 af-

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 1 November 2017

By IT Gully HASTINGS is on the verge of winning its first game of the season after a good opening day against Rye in MPCA District.

On the back of some ordinary form, Hastings was justifiably sent into bat by Rye after the Demons won the toss.

Rob Hearn needed to get his side off to a good start and he obliged with a game-high 61, including eight fours.

Ryan McNamara contributed 33 and Sean Hewitt 20 in the middle order to help the Blues to a final score of 177.

Unfortunately for the Blues, they lost their final six wickets for just 12 runs.

The Blues had 18 overs at the Demons at the end of the day and made an impression, picking up 3/27.

Heatherhill opening batsman Sam Mullavey fell agonisingly close to a century on Saturday against Rosebud, losing his wicket on 99.

However, Mullavey’s sensational innings helped his side to a more than competitive total of 6/306.

Matt Bishop was solid at four with 65 and Brad Mur contributed a well-

timed 39 to push he home team beyond 300.

It was a long day for the Rosebud bowlers and fieldsmen, skipper Billy Quigley finishing with 3/95 from 25 overs to be the pick of the bowlers.

Baden Powell appears to be in a strong position against Seaford after the first day of their clash.

The Braves were sent in to bat by Seaford and lasted just 70.2 overs.

Andrew Sparks (57) and Rhys Elmi (50) shared a strong partnership in the middle order while Elia Carter opened with 30.

Dean Polson was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 4/34 from 17.3 overs while Dale Christie snared 3/44.

Seaford faced the final nine overs of the day and it didn’t go according to plan, losing 2/27 at stumps.

Seaford Tigers need a miracle to beat Mt Martha after being rolled for just 116. Anthony Joel top scored with 19 and Mackenzie Gardner scored 18 for the Tigers, who were rolled in the 64th over.

Steve O’Neill was the pick of the Reds’ bowlers with 4/26 from 16 overs.

In reply, Mt Martha is coasting at 1/38 with 80 more overs left to score 90 runs.

The Saints go marching on SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully BALNARRING’S dominant start to the season continued on Saturday against Frankston YCW in MPCA Sub-District.

The Saints have continued to march on, batting first and scoring 257 against last season’s grand finalists.

The visitors were shaky early, however 95 runs to Mark Walles and then some solid support to follow helped the Saints push 300.

Lachlan Barton scored 46 and Ben

King 35 batting at seven and eight.

The Stonecats faced the final six overs of the day and finished at 1/24.

Tootgarook is in the box seat to beat Carrum.

The Lions batted first on Saturday and were rolled for just 102 in 72 overs.

Scott Sterling was superb for the Frogs with 5/22 from 21 overs while Jaryd Millington and Adam Taylor picked up a couple of wickets each.

In reply, the home side got away to a solid start, scoring 29 runs without the loss of a wicket in eight overs.

Tyabb should pick up victory against Skye.

Skye won the toss and batted first but lasted just 74 overs for 142 runs.

Brodie Bennett was superb with the ball for the Yabbies with 5/47 from 25 overs. Matty Dimkos bowled just 1.1 overs but picked up 2/1.

In the chase, Tyabb will resume day two at 1/21 after Nick Taranto was dismissed for 12 just before stumps.

Carrum Downs has already won its match against Boneo on first innings.

The Pandas batted first on their

home deck and were rolled for just 73 in 42 overs. David Dervan took 3/10 from 10 overs and Mick Flahive 3/11 from nine overs for the Cougars.

Carrum Downs lost its first two wickets for just 17 before getting it together and finishing the afternoon on 5/79.

Boneo will be looking at bowlingout Carrum Downs quickly on day two and giving themselves the opportunity to pull off an unlikely reverseoutright win.

Dromana’s Jack Fowler and Jedd Savage have a lot of responsibility on

their shoulders as their side resumes at 3/15 against Ballam Park. Savage is unbeaten on six and Fowler is yet to get off the mark after their side lost the first three wickets after facing the final 15 overs of the day.

Earlier, Dromana’s bowlers had done the job for their team, rolling the Knights for 136.

Justin Moore top scored for the Knights with 39 while Zac Klan was the pick of the Dromana bowlers with 3/16 from 12 overs.

Mornington boss: ‘The buck stops with me’ SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie MORNINGTON gaffer Adam Jamieson has taken responsibility for missing out on NPL promotion and has vowed that he won’t make the same mistake again.

“We had a squad to do a lot better but you’re probably looking at complacency being an issue,” said Jamieson.

His side finished runner-up to Langwarrin by a solitary point in the race for the State 1 South-East title and while Lawton Park fans were celebrating there was a lot of soul-searching done at Dallas Brooks Park.

“You get ‘Patch’ (Ryan Paczkowski) back, then Scotty Millar then you get Josh Valadon and Aaron Root in and Simon Mur’s heading back and you think you’re getting Josh Hine (then with Salford City in England) and you still don’t get the job done.

“Probably the pre-season wasn’t as good as what it should have been and as for the training sessions well you’d think players know from two years back the style of football you want to play but it probably took until halfway through the season to start playing the way we wanted to.

“When you get done by a point you look back on these things and you wonder what might have been but I take full responsibility for what happened and as far as I’m concerned the buck stops with me.”

Jamieson also believes that the way he structured the team in the first half of the season contributed to the end result.

“We set up with three midfielders who are all good footballers – ‘Smarty’ (Craig Smart), Matty Wade and ‘Reidy’ (Chris Reid) – but there’s a same, same about them and they aren’t particularly quick and once we got Sammy Orritt in it changed the whole dynamic of the midfield.”

Wade and another import, Nathan Smith, are not expected to return for 2018 while Reid is rumoured to have attracted the attention of Richmond, which was recently relegated from NPL ranks.

Orritt turned out to be the club’s talisman in the back half of the season scoring regularly as Mornington went on a sustained winning run.

He’s re-signed for 2018 along with another English import, Jack Truelove.

“I think young Jack had a fantastic year and people forget that he’s only 21,” said Jamieson.

Goalkeeper Kris McEvoy also has re-signed and the club hopes to retain Millar, Valadon, Root, Mur, Smart, Keegan Ziada, James Laminski, Charlie Parker, Wayne Gordon,

Jack rejoins: Mornington defender Jack Truelove has agreed terms for 2018.

Picture: John Punshon

Danny Black, Stevie Elliott, Nathan Yole and Stefan Soler.

Jamieson sees striker Marinos Panayi as part of Mornington’s future but the youngster continues to be linked with Langwarrin as does Elliott while the rumour mill suggests that Smart has attracted the attention of another local club.

“I’m not anticipating a huge turnover and I think it’s pretty natural these days to lose four or five and bring in four or five.

“We’ve targeted a couple of players from other clubs, a central midfielder and a defender and we hope to announce another signing next week.

“We have a couple of overseas players in mind but it’s very early doors. They’re based in England and they both play up front.”

Mornington has not joined the throng of clubs circling Langwarrin and waiting to pounce on players it releases. Not yet anyway.

“If (Liam) Baxter was to become available and if they were to offer him to us then we’d definitely take him but we’re hearing that Casey

Comets is interested.

“The same goes for Aaran Currie.

He’s a talent.

“But we’re concentrating on other players right now not Langwarrin players.”

Even before pre-season training has started Jamieson has to recover from the bodyblow of losing star striker Paczkowski who recently signed for NPL heavyweight Oakleigh Cannons.

“It was a huge disappointment losing ‘Patch’ but I completely understand why he’s joined Oakleigh.

“I mean when NPL clubs ring you every flippin’ week what can you do?

It is what it is.”

Off the field Mornington is on a sound financial footing and enjoys strong local community backing.

“We’re looking at around $150,000 a year in sponsorship and we operated under budget last season so we’ll maintain the same budget next season and we believe that it will be enough to mount a serious title campaign,” said president Matt Cameron.

“We’re going to invest $30,000 of

our own money into our pitches and our plan is to be NPL-ready.

“The council has over 200 sporting bodies to deal with in the Mornington Shire area and we’re working hard on developing our brand and putting our club at the forefront of council’s thinking when it comes to our sport.”

Few of those sporting bodies are as large as Mornington which fielded 28 junior teams this year including five girls’ teams.

Club and council work closely to target grants and one such State Government grant will be put to good use over summer when the main pitch becomes fully floodlit.

Winning has become the norm at Mornington and both Jamieson and Cameron are focussed on success next year.

“As a football club we’re obviously doing something right when we win two championships and come runner-up twice in four years,” said Jamieson.

“I think winning the title next year will be a lot more difficult than last season because clubs realise what it takes now.

“They’ve seen what Langwarrin did and how successful they were at it and I’m expecting a lot more clubs to have a lot more visa players.

“I think Richmond in particular will have a red-hot go and we’re already hearing that they’ve signed some very good players.

“I think Casey will bring in a couple of visas and I expect Eltham

and Beaumaris to be decent sides while Caulfield now knows what it takes then there’s Clifton Hill and Malvern.

“Yeah it’s going to be tough but this time we won’t take anything for granted and we’re going to make sure that we’re right up there.”

If stability is a key to success then Mornington can expect a big year as Jamieson will be surrounded by the usual suspects.

Dale White is assistant coach, Andy Mason is reserves coach while Martyn Ashton and Tony McKay are team managers.

The club is yet to appoint a goalkeeping coach but plans to talk to local legend Peter Blasby.

Meanwhile Peninsula Strikers have agreed terms with four UK-based players who are expected to arrive in January.

The club has also agreed terms with central defender Aaron Wilford and looks likely to retain goalkeeper Colin McCormack, midfielder Danny Brooks and striker Aziz Bayeh.

Four Altona City players and a player from Caulfield United Cobras are on Strikers’ radar while central defender Raphael Stulz is training with South Melbourne.

In other news Skye United assistant coach Billy Rae is likely to stay with the State 3 South-East outfit after being linked with the technical director’s job at Southern United.

Skye held its annual presentation night last weekend and defender Johnny Andrinopoulos did the double adding the senior best and fairest to his players’ player award.

Midfielder Marcus Collier was runner-up in the best and fairest for the second year running while Daniel Attard’s 11 goals clinched his fourth successive Golden Boot award.

Daniel Jones did the reserves double adding the best and fairest to his players’ player award with David Popa runner-up in the best and fairest and Lawrence Komba clinching Golden Boot honours.

Caitlyn Williams and Abi Johnston shared the senior women’s best and fairest award with Saskia Dekker runner-up and Amber Brierley and Madison Brooks sharing Golden Boot honours.

Zenai Cerda won the reserve women’s best and fairest with Alanah Gregory runner-up and Charlotte Galjar winning the Golden Boot award.

State 4 South outfit Baxter has officially appointed senior goalkeeper Francis Beck as head coach while Justin Brown has been re-elected club president for a third term.

Baxter hopes to announce a senior assistant and a reserves coach in coming weeks.

Experienced coaches take the reins at Mornington

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON Basketball has appointed Darren Thomas to the position of Big V head coach for the Women’s Youth League 2018 season.

Thomas, who most recently was head coach of the Pakenham Big V Youth League Women, commenced his role a couple of weeks ago and has bought his wealth of experience to the club.

Thomas has worked his way through the ranks at the Ballarat representative program from coaching under-14s through to the SEABL head coach in 2013, including two seasons as Ballarat Rush Youth League head coach.

Thomas will work closely with Mornington Basketball’s Big V Women’s head coach, Steve Matthews to deliver a strong and cohesive women’s program working alongside their junior program.

The appointment is the third major change to the club’s Big V coaching staff in the last three weeks with Kenneth Brunner joining as head coach of the Big V Men’s Senior side and Chris

Horsbrough signing on as the head coach of the Big V Youth Men’s team.

Mornington Basketball operations manager, Sam Browne, said the club is thrilled to have the experienced coaches on board to help not only the seniors but also the junior development.

“We are really focussing on getting our juniors and seniors working side by side,” she said.

“The new coaches have a lot to offer not only for our senior’s teams but also as they offer a strong and clear pathway for our juniors to make their way up into the seniors.”

Brunner has travelled the world playing professional basketball and holds the most games played in California history with 137.

He has worked and played with Michael Jordan and held the top spot as the best streetball point guard in the world.

Brunner has recently coached three teams in Big V grand finals winning the Youth League Men’s in 2012 and Division 2 Men’s in 2016.

He was nominated for Big V Coach of the Year

in 2012, 2015 and won the award in 2016.

Brunner will now take up his new role at the Breakers and said he is excited to become a Breaker and with the structures currently in place, he’s very confident that the club will do great things.

“I have been very impressed with how professional and switched on the people at Mornington are and trust the process in place,” he said.

“I look forward to developing the players and working with the other quality coaches as we strive for greatness.”

Horsbrough, who has been assistant coach in the Big V Men’s team for several seasons, will now transition to coaching the Youth Men’s side and work alongside Kenneth Brunner to ensure the men’s program continues to improve.

The first open training session for under-20, Youth League and Senior Women’s was held on Tuesday 24th October with try-outs for the sides occurring at the moment in preparation for the season opener in early-2018.

Australian Diamonds netballer joins Edi-Asp

By Ben Triandafillou RECENTLY retired Australian Diamond defender, Julie Corletto, has joined EdithvaleAspendale’s Netball Club as a specialist coach for the 2018 season.

A member of the Australian Diamonds since 2007, Corletto concluded her injury-plagued career with a third world title in 2015 and has now entered a new phase in her career with Edi-Asp. Starting out as a “throw away comment” at one of the club’s luncheons, Edithvale-Aspendale netball president, Helen Hollis, said she was in disbelief when Corletto took up the opportunity to coach at the club.

“She was a guest speaker at our luncheon and she had the room completely entranced about her stories in the world championships and how she overcame a broken foot,” Hollis said.

“She was so inspiring, and we are always on the lookout for a good coach, so at the end I threw out a comment about coaching and instead of laughing like many normally do she sort of said yes.

“So, we decided to follow her up on it and now

she’s come from helping the Australian team work on their defence a couple of weeks ago to now helping us out with our pre-season.

“We are still in a little bit of disbelief.”

Corletto has represented Australia on 52 occasions, winning three world championships and a Commonwealth Games gold medal in 2014.

Now expecting her second child in February next year, Corletto will run pre-season for Agrade through to D-grade at Edi-Asp for the next six weeks.

She will also play a key role with helping the A-grade and B-grade teams work on their defensive side of the game before taking a break nearing February.

“She’s very down to earth and has injected a lot of enthusiasm into the club,” Hollis said.

“There’s a lot going on at the club at the moment and she’s created a real buzz since joining.”

The netballers are coming off the back of having all four grades make the finals last season and now with the recruitment of Julie Corletto, in unison with head coach Claire Houben, Edi-Asp are hoping to continue to improve off last season’s impressive results.

By Ben Triandafillou THE Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club made their presence felt at last week’s School Sport Victoria track and field championships with six of their young athletes polling a total of 10 times.

The athletics club was represented by Jeremy Fraser (Frankston High School), Taj Davies (Mornington Secondary College), Hayley Silvester (Dromana College), Mehdi Hassani (Cranbourne Secondary College), Harry Phillips (Drouin Secondary College) and Will Hunt (Dromana College) on Monday 23 October at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park.

Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club coach and secretary, Craig Mahony, said the results were great considering it is still early in the season for the young athletes.

“I think they all did really well, the results were generally pleasing and they will most likely continue to improve as the season goes on,” he said.

Hayley Silvester, 19, led the way for the club and her school, competing in five events throughout the day. Silvester won the 200m dash and the 400m run, where she broke her personal best time by three seconds. She also finished second in the 100m hurdles - again in a personal best time - third in the 100m sprint and third in the 4x100m relay.

“It was a big day for her and she did exceptionally well,” Mahony said.

Fellow Dromana College student, Will Hunt, 15, finished fourth in his 100m sprint while Mehdi Hassani, 19, finished third in his 100m multi-class dash.

“Mehdi did really well considering he’s a distance runner and had to compete in the 100m because they didn’t have a further event for him.

He just had to give it a go,” Mahony said.

Taj Davies, 14, was narrowly beaten in a photo finish for his 800m event while Harry Phillips, 17, was able to break the two minute

barrier to win his 800m final. Phillips also competed in the 1500m where he finished in third.

Jeremy Fraser, 19, competed in the 2km Open Steeplechase where he managed to grab third place for Frankston High School.

The athletics club is now looking forward to the Victorian All Schools Track and Field Championships on Friday 3 November where they are hoping to continue their good run of results with more athletes from their club likely to compete.

The All Schools Championships will again be held at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park with 10 athletes from the Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club currently listed as competing.
