Community centre committee steps down Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE committee that managed the Patterson Lakes Community Centre has stepped down from its role. A statement on the PLCC Facebook page read that the “members had voted to hand over the management of the Patterson Lakes Community Centre to
the City of Kingston.” “The committee has stepped down from its role. The centre currently needs to remain closed because of government regulations on COVID-19. City of Kingston will update you of any changes,” the statement read. A Kingston Council media release read that “the Patterson Lakes Community Centre Incorporation has informed
council that its members have voted to cancel the Incorporation and cease to operate as a legal entity.” “As a result, Patterson Lakes Community Centre Incorporated will also be terminating its funding and lease agreements with council. The Incorporation has contacted all members and user groups, including all regular hirers, to notify them that the cancellation
of the incorporation has been lodged. Council is working closely with the committee of management through this process. “Council joins with the community in acknowledging and thanking the many volunteers who have served the community at the centre over many years in many roles, providing a welcoming space and opportunities for learning,
fun and friendship. “While existing agreements and processes are being finalised, council will endeavour to contact all existing user groups and service providers. Council will also consult with the broader community, Department of Health and Human Services and service providers on management and use of the site.” Continued Page 4

Cyclist dies A WOMAN has died after being hit by a car while cycling on Beach Road last week. The 60-year-old Mentone resident was allegedly struck by a Holden Commodore in Beaumaris, around 5.25pm 24 May. She died at the scene. Police allege that the driver failed to stop at the scene of the incident. The next day they arrested a 35-year-old man from Armstrong Creek, who has been charged with culpable driving, dangerous driving causing death, fail to stop, and fail to render assistance. He was remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 26 May. The Holden Commodore was allegedly found by police in Waller Court, Cheltenham. The deceased cyclist has been identified as former South Oakleigh College principal Debbie Locco. A statement from current principal Helen Koziaris on social media read that “the South Oakleigh College community is saddened and grieving from the tragic death of ex College Principal Debbie Locco.” “She was not only a professional colleague but a friend to all who shaped and drove educational change and supported staff, students and parents in their day to day lives,” the statement read. “Our deepest condolences go to Debbie’s family at this time. Our thoughts, love and strength are with them, she will be greatly missed, but always remembered.” Any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.

WITH galleries shut, artists have had to find new ways to showcase their talents. A series of artworks have been painted in outdoor places across the Kingston area. A large mural has been painted at the Chelsea Sportswomen’s Centre, and another piece has been finished at Shirley Burke Theatre in Parkdale. Artist Deb McNaughton completed the Parkdale piece. The mayor Georgina Oxley said that the mural on the facade of the theatre building “pays homage to the rainbow trail movement which has inspired families to draw rainbows on their footpaths and driveways, as a sign of unity.” “There’s already been an outpouring of love for the mural from the local residents walking and riding by. Make sure you bring the family and get down to Parkdale for a look,” she said. “Now restrictions have been lifted a little and we can get out and about a bit more, I also really encourage people to visit the Chelsea Sportswomen’s Centre to check out the amazing mural painted by Geoffrey Carran. The mural pays homage to the Sharp Tailed Sandpiper, which annually migrate from Siberia to our very own Edithvale Wetlands. It looks truly spectacular at sunset.” For more information on outdoor artworks in the area visit kingstonarts. com.au/VISUAL- ART/Exhibitions

Management change at centre a ‘bad outcome’ An independent voice for the community
We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.
Continued from Page 1 Carrum and Patterson Lakes Forum founder Cameron Howe said that it was “a disappointing outcome for the Patterson River area.” “It is sad that the efforts and commitment of volunteers have been diminished, who fearing closure sought financial assistance in 2019 and 2020, with the council choosing to only discuss dissolving the association that
cemented the current outcome,” he said. “Catering to an estimated population of 18,000 people, the centre had an inability to cover basic cleaning costs, address any wear and tear, replace the 10 year old phone system, purchase a basic P.A system and to advertise their services. “This should be a council for the people and deflecting responsibility
is disrespectful, especially given that the focus should be on the community and volunteers.” Queries can be made to council’s team leader of buildings, hubs, and partnerships Gail McDonald on 9581 4422. The committee’s decision will not impact the Patterson Lakes Library at the centre, which is set to reopen once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.

Fears for long held arboretum hopes Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au CONSTRUCTION being undertaken by the Level Crossing Removal Project in Seaford has caused a stir among residents keen to see long held plans for an arboretum come to life. The LXRP is working on a shared use path, which will span more than 11 kilometres from Edithvale to Frankston. They are currently working between Armstrongs Road and Station Street in Seaford, and have shut the Kananook Reserve Walking Trail from 6 May to 29 May to allow for that. Former president of the Kananook Creek Association, Robert Thurley, said that works at Station Street are at odds with plans for an arboretum in Seaford. “This is happening at the site of the Seaford arboretum,” he said. “The bush walking trail entrances at Station Street are vital to be preserved. “The Seaford arboretum is a jewel in the crown and the planned entrance to it should not have been wrecked by LXRP. This needs to be rectified”. In February Frankston Council endorsed plans for the arboretum when they voted unanimously to approve spending $30,000 to complete a detailed concept design. They also voted to “note the estimated total project cost is $672,500” and “authorise council officers to seek external funding for the entire project though the state government.” Frankston councillor Kris Bolam said “given the amount of trees and vegetation the state government has destroyed to make way for the level crossing works, the least they can do is contribute to, and collaborate on, a project that is going to showcase the best of our flora and fauna in Seaford”. The arboretum proposal endorsed by council
Police patrol
covers an area of approximately 3 hectares with boundaries by the east bank of the Kananook Creek, Station Street, the Seaford Railway Station car park, RF Miles Reserve, and Seaford Road. Frankston councillor Glenn Aitken also criticised works on the LXRP’s shared use path. “The essence of the trail along Kananook Creek has always been of a more earthy access way through a canopy of tree growth, it’s almost like taking a type of journey through the vegetation with limited encroachment. This path is something that is slammed onto the landscape without due diligence.” The erection of a metal fence in the area has also been met with some disapproval. “They’ve put a steel rail all the way along the bike road in the area which was going to be a showcase for aquatic plants,” Mr Thurley said. “There’s been no sensitivity and lack of due process. (...) This would not have happened this way if a proper consultation process had been executed.” Cr Aitken said the fence was “visually highly offensive”. “Anyone engaging with the coastal environment should become highly acquainted with the history of the area, sensitivity of community groups, and should have been acquainted with the value of coastal vegetation,” he said. Residents protested vegetation removal by the LXRP on Station Street in February. Council wrote to the LXRP at the time to express “its serious concerns at the recent removal of high value and old growth vegetation along the shared user path alignment, particularly around Armstrongs Road and Station Street, Seaford, and seek an assurance that further vegetation removal works will be paused pending a more thorough consultation with both council and the community (“Vegetation removal protested”, The News, 2/3/20)”. The LXRP was contacted for comment.
THE proposed site set to be further investigated for a planned arboretum in Seaford. Works undertaken in Seaford by the LXRP on a shared use path have caused some uproar. The construction of a metal fence (inset) has also upset residents. Pictures: Supplied

Baby formula thief wanted A MAN who stole baby formula from a Moorabbin pharmacy is wanted by police. At around 5pm, 18 April, the man entered the Nepean Highway pharmacy. He took three tins of baby formula and left without attempting to pay. On 2 May the man entered the store again, and put two containers of multivitamins in his pockets. The security gate sounded as he tried to leave, and security confronted the man.
The man returned one bottle of vitamins to the guard, but left with the other. Police describe the man as “being 30 to 40 years old with black hair, black neat facial hair and is slim to medium build.” Investigators have released an image of a man (above) who they believe may be able to assist with enquiries. Anyone with information is urged to contact Moorabbin Police Station on 9556 6565 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Shoe company steps up for health care workers MORNINGTON footwear manufacturer Bata is donating shoes to health care workers fighting COVID-19. The offer is part of the company’s global effort to provide one million pairs of shoes to health care workers, volunteers and their families. “The generosity of local businesses, such as Bata Shoes, in recognition of the role of health care workers has been tremendous,” Peninsula Health’s chief operating officer Helen Cooper said. “Our hardworking team spends a lot of time on its feet, so a new pair of work shoes is invaluable.” Bata managing director Jon Moore said it was important to show appreciation for those on the medical front line. “Our footwear is technically designed for health care workers and we have made available 7000 pairs of shoes for our
health care heroes,” he said. “It’s the least we can do.” Information provided by Belinda Healey, of Blue White Media, said there had been a waiting time of up to 2½ hours for shoes due to the unprecedented demand and the need to maintain social distancing. The Australian donation is valued at $500,000 for the 75,000 registered nurses in Victoria. Frontline health care workers wanting to take up the offer can visit Bata's Mornington outlet at 1158 Nepean Highway, 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday and 9am-2pm Saturday and show their IDs. Fitting offer: Bata managing director Jon Moore with Matthew Vickers, Julie Shibu, Jenni Moller, and Cassy Neylan of Peninsula Health. Picture: Supplied

Food donated in time of need A CARRUM Downs food manufacturer has teamed with a charity to donate over $50,000 worth of food to people in need.

The charity provides emergency food relief to people in the Frankston and Kingston areas. Pantry 5000 manager Ken Gooding said “it is clear that a growing number of people in our
community are needing assistance to put food on the table right now. Pantry 5000 relies on the support of volunteers and generous donors to continue our work. Having the support of a local business like Orgran means we can reach even more people in need and ensure that no one needs to go hungry.” The 12,000 donated items are set to be distributed over the next eight weeks.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
“Stop ! Seaford” – Sign boards requested Compiled by Cameron McCullough COUNCILLORS like to have their little jokes, and when at last council meeting the Seaford Progress Association wrote again, for the third time, urging that sign boards be erected at the boundaries of the riding to indicate to travellers that at last they were on Seaford soil, councillors seemed highly amused. Cr Howell, in moving that the request be complied with, said that the matter was one that interested Seaford ratepayers very largely. Cr. Armstrong: The Progress Association wont give the council any rest till it is done. He seconded the motion. Cr. Griffeth: It ought to be possible to identify Seaford without signboards. (Laughter.) Cr. Wells: Put up a board similar to the sign in Collins Street – “Stop! Seaford!” (Renewed laughter.) Cr. Mason moved an amendment that one board only be erected, to be placed in the centre of the town. Cr Jones: In the centre of the road? (Laughter.) Cr. Griffeth seconded the amendment, which was carried. *** MR E. Barber, (late A.I.F.,), has purchased Mr J. C. Murphy’s dairying business in Frankston, and takes over at once. *** THE Secretary of the Frankston Brass Band acknowledges with thanks receipt of the following donations: Cr. Howell, £1 1s; Cr Armstrong, £1; Mr J. Clarke, 10s 6d; Mr H. M. Sheddon, £1 2s; amount previously
acknowledged, £22, 12s. Total, £26 4s 6d. The pipe donated by Mr Ledgar was won by Mr Briely. *** ATTENTION is drawn to Ms C. L. Bell’s business advertisement wherein he announces having received assorted stocks of ladies, gents, and children’s footwear. He quotes a special line of men’s watertights at 26s 6d. Inspection is invited. *** A MEETING convened by the ladies was held on Monday night last for the purpose of forming an accident fund in connection with the Frankston Football Club. Miss Dorothea Gregory was voted to the chair. The decision to form an accident fund was confirmed. Miss Gregory was appointed secretary, Mr W. Crawford Young, treasurer, with the following committee: Mesdames Dalman, W. Gregory, Burton, Scarborough, Miss Gamble and Messrs Dalman and E. McComb. It was resolved to hold a fair on the 18th and 19th June, to be called the Black and Red Carnival. The following stalls were allotted: Refreshment stall, Mrs Scarborough; Produce, Mrs Burton; Flowers, Miss Gregory ; Sweets, Mrs Dalman; Fancy, Miss Gamble; Dip, Mrs A. Aitken ; Hoop-la, Mrs W. Gregory. The movement has been taken up in a very enthusiastic manner. All gifts may be left with Mrs Dalman. ***
THE service in the Frankston Methodist Church next Sunday night will be conducted by Rev A. L. Sherlock – a Frankston boy. It will be his last service before proceeding to Samoa where he has been appointed by the Methodist Church to labour as a Missionary. *** OWING to the arrival of the Prince the usual weekly pictures will be postponed. Don’t miss Saturday nights pictures, 2 Big Star pictures including, Gladys Brockwell, and Miriam Cooper. Come along and bring your friends. The more patrons the better it is for your town. *** THE euchre tournament promoted by the Frankston Brass Band was continued last night. There was a splendid attendance. Mrs Kimlin won the ladies prize and Mr Dalman the gents, The “booby” prize winners were Miss Dougan and Mr H. Morrison. The prizes for the evening were donated by Mrs Wilcox and Miss Gregory. *** EARLY on Thursday morning burglars entered the store of Mrs Deane, in Frankston and got away with a valuable collection of groceries, and wine spirits. The value of the goods stolen is estimated at £200. On the previous Sunday night a railway truck was rifled at the Frankston Station. ***

TOMORROW, at 3.30p.m. Messrs Brody and Mason will offer for sale freehold property in the estate of the late Henry Scarborough, which includes a brick villa of 9 rooms and building allotments, a few minutes from Frankston railway station. Messrs Brody and Mason’s weekly market at Frankston will be held on Thursday next week, owing to Wednesday having been proclaimed a public holiday. *** Boat for Sale 14ft. overall, 5ft. 3in. beam, greatest depth 23in. amidships, raised lath, movable floor, forward deck engine, bearers with shaft tube bored, fitted fox engine. Also has capstan worm drive for beaching, worked by hand or engine drive. Small sails and jib (Japanese silk) if desired. Complete outfit. Recognised to be one of the most sea worthy boats on beach. Kauri and Jarrah timber (specially selected) throughout. Launched this year. For further particulars. Apply, O. J. A. FORRESTER, Seaford *** Heard in the Train Seaford tomorrow night expects to put up a record in the way of public meetings. Kananook Creek was running a banker this week – a sort of “rising to the occasion.” Frankston and Hastings shire has had Wednesday next proclaimed a
public holiday, in honor of the Prince of Wales landing in Australia. It is whispered that there is a possibility of the Prince being seen down Frankston way on one of his “off” days. The Nationalists are advertising for a candidate to stand for the Mornington division in the next State election, in opposition to the Hon. A. Downward, the Farmers’ nominee. It is not likely that the job will be rushed at £300 a year. Frankston branch of the Taxpayers’ Association last evening passed a resolution condemning the proposal to increase Federal members’ salaries. So say all of us. The burglars who visited Mrs Deane’s shop last Wednesday night showed a nice discrimination in the choice of spirituous liquors, and their haul was a valuable one. Empire Day will be celebrated at the Frankston State school next Monday, the public being invited to attend at 2.15 p.m. The ladies have successfully launched their scheme for providing an accident fund in connection with the Frankston Football Club, and the movement is sure to receive general support. Several Frankston residents are considering the idea of motoring to Dromana next Wednesday morning to witness the passing of the Renown which is due to enter the heads at 7.30 a.m. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 21 May 1920

‘Patch’ back to Dallas Brooks? SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie RYAN Paczkowski could be on the verge of a sensational return to Mornington. The move relies on his current club Oakleigh Cannons not playing this season and releasing “Patch” from his contract. NPL1 powerhouse Oakleigh faces two major hurdles standing in the way of competing in 2020. The Greek-backed outfit is closely considering its duty of care to its members and has genuine concerns especially for it older supporters. It also stares into a financial black hole given that its main revenue streams have dried up with little prospect of short-term recovery. There’s no doubt that should “Patch” be on the move there will be plenty of interested clubs but there’s only one club that he’d join if he doesn’t play for Oakleigh this year. Mornington gaffer Adam Jamieson and president Matt Cameron have not been involved in discussions with Paczkowski about a possible move. “I want to make it clear that we have not discussed this matter nor have we given it consideration,” Jamieson said. However Paczkowski is one of a number of contracted players who are believed to be considering exit strategies should Football Victoria cancel the NPL1 season. Mornington brought the former Gainsborough Trinity, Harworth Colliery, Frickley Athletic and Brigg Town striker to Melbourne from his native Doncaster in England for the 2014 State 1 season. Two seasons later his reputation had been established and he joined Bentleigh Greens where he enjoyed a stellar 2016 season highlighted by a number of man-of-the-match performances and multiple team-of-the-week selections. He returned to Dallas Brooks Park for the 2017 season before Chris Taylor took him to Oakleigh where he has spent the past two seasons and proven his versatility in a number of positions. But a Paczkowski switch relies heavily on the make-up of the season that Football Victoria is expected to announce this week. FV was due to contact NPL clubs yesterday (Monday) and there has been

much conjecture that if the elite club competition goes ahead it will only be at NPL2 and NPL3 levels. Just before we went to press a prominent NPL club was canvassing the notion that FV would announce that promotion would still be in play this year but that relegation would be suspended. If applied to State Leagues it would be a second successive season that an integral element of the sport had been removed by the governing body. Last week FV announced proposed resumption of play dates for NPL, junior NPL, community clubs and community junior competitions. The junior NPL season is tentatively scheduled to start on Saturday 20 June. Community clubs (State Leagues and below, seniors and juniors) were given a proposed start date of Sunday 28 June, which took many local clubs by surprise as they play on Saturdays. Sport and Recreation Victoria plays a crucial role in setting these proposed start dates and it’s believed that SRV will call for the cricket season to be pushed back to a late October start to accommodate football codes as many grounds have multisport tenants. Last Friday evening there was a bombshell announcement from State 1 South-East club Richmond that it was withdrawing all teams from competi-
tion this year. State 4 South outfit Keysborough followed suit on Sunday afternoon and the danger for FV now is that if there’s no relegation more clubs may decide not to play. It’s clear that clubs have been weighing up whether or not they should compete in 2020. However Mornington, which plays in the same league as Richmond, has no such doubts. “If there’s a season we’ll be playing 100 per cent,” club president Matt Cameron said. “To be honest I don’t know how you can say you’ll not play this season because the way I read the rules you don’t just drop out of your league but you’ve to go all the way down to the bottom league and start up all over again. “It’s happened to us a couple of times with our women’s teams so it’s not as simple as saying you won’t play and you’ll just start up again next season. “We would never consider that. We want to play.” FV’s recent return to training guidelines also required local councils to finalise tenancy agreements before clubs could hit the training track. Last week Frankston council and Mornington Peninsula Shire council sent out seasonal tenancy confirmation

letters to the State League clubs under their jurisdictions and Mornington has started training. As have Chelsea and Aspendale Stingrays who come under Kingston council. Langwarrin, Peninsula Strikers, Seaford United, Somerville Eagles and Mount Martha are waiting until 1 June to make a definite decision on a return to training. Langy president Tanya Wallace favours a staggered return involving the club’s four junior NPL squads at first then building on those numbers by introducing two more squads each week. “We won’t be returning before the end of May,” Wallace said. “I’m not bringing them all back in one hit. That’s ludicrous. We’ll start with the junior NPL sides then build it from there. “We’re also giving a lot of consideration to our volunteers as many of them are older and in a higher-risk category when it comes to the virus and we are very aware of anyone coming into contact with them.” Skye United, Frankston Pines, Baxter and Rosebud start training this week. Skye will start with its women’s teams on Wednesday night followed by the senior men on Thursday night. Pines, Baxter and Rosebud will start

on Tuesday night. Rosebud players allegedly will see a slimmed-down version of colourful central striker Mark Pagliarulo. “I’m currently day 38 off the alcohol and going strong,” he claimed on Sunday. “I’m doing personal training with (Bulleen head coach) John Maisano and lost 5.5 kilos just in case you wondered. “Heading off now to Gunnamatta beach to go on a run with him after our 9am bootcamp this morning.” Rosebud announced last week that new state-of-the-art floodlights will be installed at its Olympic Park headquarters in Besgrove Street and be functional by mid-June. The club says this opens up the possibility of hosting Friday night and midweek fixtures. In other news Skye United’s clubrooms at Skye Recreation Reserve were vandalised last week with graffiti sprayed on signage, walls, roofs and footpaths. The club took to social media to ask for help in identifying the perpetrators. Meanwhile Frankston Pines head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor has raised an interesting point about controlling numbers of attendees at training and matches. “Most grounds are located in public parks and not all of them have completely fenced off access so how are clubs meant to police this?” Taylor asked. His concerns were echoed by Skye United president Daren Jones. “We’ve got a lot of people who walk their dogs on our park and how do we get their names and contact information if they are doing that during a training session? “As far as I’m concerned everyone on that park has to be on our register otherwise how can they be traced?” And for the record let’s finally publish the worst kept secret in local football. Billy Rae has left State 4 South-East club Somerville and been replaced by Dave Greening who will be playercoach of the senior squad. Stan Packer who had quit last year along with former senior coach Scott Morrison has returned as Greening’s assistant. Neither Rae nor Greening were prepared to comment.

Alfa Oro continues successful comeback HORSE RACING
By Ben Triandafillou MATT Laurie’s talented sprinter lfa Oro has returned from an injury enforced two-year layoff in fine form with a gutsy victory down the Flemington straight on Saturday 23 May. The four-year-old son of Bachelor Duke resumed with a second placing at Pakenham in April before putting together a hattrick of wins culminating in Saturday’s Benchmark 78 Almandin Handicap (1100m). The speedy gelding has come a long way since suffering a spiral fracture in his front leg during trackwork that required surgery and a 20-month absence from the track. “To come back after a two-year layoff and win like he has is a pretty good effort on his part,” Laurie said post-race. “We had a big opinion of him early and it’s good to have him back.” Alfa Oro sat up on the speed in the heavy conditions before holding off all the challenges to score a neck victory over the Gareth Andrews-trained Spirit of Aquada. Laurie said he was stoked to see the tough gelding dig deep to fight out the finish. “It was a really good effort because he was under a bit of siege there and he showed a good amount of fight,”

he said. “He looked a bit green, that last furlong and a half, but he is a really good horse. I thought he would (handle the straight) and he obviously did, but he
still looked like he had the handbrake on a little bit towards the end. “He is such a pro in everything he does, so I was happy to take on (the straight course).”
For Alfa Oro’s next target, Laurie said he’ll just continue to take it race by race at this stage. “I just wanted to build up his rating and get a bit of money in the bank,”
he said. “I’m just trying to place him as best I can, and we will see where we are at after this.”
