Sinking feeling THE HMVS Cerberus has called Half Moon Bay home for nearly a century. The ship was ordered by the Victorian government in 1866, and was completed four years later. The ship served as part of the Victorian Naval Forces. HMVS Cerberus was scuttled and sunk in 1926, so that it could act as a breakwater. It now rests just off Half Moon Bay in Black Rock.

Recycler wins contentious bid for longer stay Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au ALEX Fraser Group has been permitted to operate its Clarinda concrete crushing plant for another 10 years. The recycler’s permit to operate was set to expire in 2023. Council had rejected its bid for a longer stay last year, but the planning minister has stepped in to grant an extension until 2033. An advisory committee had been appointed by the planning minister to assess the case. The News understands that the committee recommended that the

permit to allow material recycling and a refuse transfer station on the site be extended until December 2038. Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said he is “deeply disappointed that the Victorian planning minister has given an 11th hour approval for a concrete crushing facility to remain in Kingston’s Green Wedge for a further 10 years.” “We can’t help but feel that this is a broken promise to the community,” Cr Staikos said. “This decision goes against the clear intent of the 2015 protections that were approved to prohibit industrial waste operations in the Green Wedge.”

The site is inside the “Green Wedge A Zone” which “prohibits industrial uses including materials recycling and concrete crushing”, Kingston Council says. It was rezoned in 2015 after the planning minister approved Planning Scheme Amendment C143. The advisory committee’s report read that “the applicant’s recycling operation is clearly inconsistent with the long term planning direction for the area, but is being operated to a very high standard with little to no offsite amenity impacts.” “An extension of 15 years, but not longer, is appropriate to provide a sig-

nificant period for further site investigations and state strategic waste planning,” the report read. “The committee is strongly against the suggestion of providing for the continuation beyond 15 years of this permit. Any extension of the use beyond 15 years should be the subject of strategic planning and a planning scheme amendment.” Alex Fraser managing director Peter Murphy said “the Clarinda recycling facility is a proven example of the circular economy in action, and makes a positive contribution to the Green Wedge. The former sand quarry has been remediated and is now home to

thousands of indigenous trees which, along with the water bodies, provide ideal habitat for native birds and frogs. We will continue to work with our neighbours, local schools and community groups to further improve environmental outcomes.” “Alex Fraser has been working with private and government agencies to identify suitable sites in the south-east, and will continue to do so,” he said. Around 700,000 tonnes of waste concrete, masonry, asphalt, and glass sands is processed into construction products at the site each year. Continued Page 3

Cash boost for school NEARLY $3 million will be spent to upgrade Carrum Downs Secondary College. The funding was included in the state budget handed down last week. Taxpayer funds will be directed towards refurbishments at the school’s science building, and other classrooms. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “I want to acknowledge the incredible school community at Carrum Downs Secondary College. Everyone has done a phenomenal job in supporting students to learn from home this year. And now, we want to make this wonderful local school even better. Our

kids deserve access to state-of-the-art facilities. And this funding will deliver that. It is an important investment in their future.”

KINGSTON Council has called for the state government to invest in the Chain of Parks in the wake of its decision to extend Alex Fraser Group’s permit to operate in Clarinda. Picture: Supplied

‘Restore community faith’ by fulfilling parks promise Continued from Page 1 Last year, council received 910 objections to the Alex Fraser planning permit amendment application. Cr Staikos called on the state government to take “immediate action to deliver the Chain of Parks” in the wake of the decision, to “restore community faith”. In the leadup to the 2018 election, the state government put out a media release which read “the Sandbelt Parklands has been talked about for nearly

90 years, but only Labor will deliver it.” “A re-elected Labor government will deliver a 355 hectare chain of parks from Warrigal Road in Moorabbin to Braeside Park in Dingley Village, with walking and bike trails and adventure play areas for local kids,” the state government said. Cr Staikos said “In the face of [the Alex Fraser] decision, we call on the government to invest the $25 million it promised at the last state election

for our Green Wedge and immediately purchase key sites to further deliver the Chain of Parks.” “The government earmarked the land for public acquisition more than two decades ago – now it’s time to act and honour its commitment to our community. If the government wants to rebuild its trust as a custodian and protector of Green Wedges, it must take action to create the Chain of Parks”

Later that day, an 18-year-old Frankston man was arrested in Carrum Downs. He was charged with affray, assault, and commit an offence whilst on bail. He was remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court. Mr Smith’s father Michael spoke to 3AW about his son the morning after the alleged attack. “He had everything to live for, he was a go getter, a hard worker, he had a heart of gold,” he said. “He’d help anyone, any time. He was just a fantastic kid.”

Jackets not right to go

A DRUNK driver has been clocked driving at 142 kmph in Patterson Lakes, 28 November. At around 2am, the 21-year-old Glen Waverley man was caught speeding on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway. He returned an evidentiary breath test reading of .145. The man’s license was suspended and he received two penalty notices. Police have dedicated more resources to road policing as part of Operation Compass, which ran until 11.59pm on Sunday 29 November. Earlier in the morning at 1am, police caught a 25-year-old man at an alleged speed of 132 kmph in an 80 kmph zone on Westall Street, Clayton South.

A MAN who stole four North Face jackets from the Frankston Power Centre is wanted by police. Just after 3.20pm, 14 November, the man stuffed four jackets into a bag before fleeing the store. Police have released an image (below) of the man they wish to speak to about the theft. Police say he has a “distinctive tattoo on his upper right leg”. Anyone who recognises the man can Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, make a report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au and quote the incident number 200418594.

Distanced schoolies POLICE will be monitoring schoolies celebrations more closely than usual this year. Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Russell Barrett warned partygoers at schoolies hotspots like the Mornington Peninsula that they must still adhere to the state’s COVID-19 guidelines. “We know that 2020 has been a very difficult year for everyone, none more so than our Year 12 students who have sadly missed out on a lot of milestone moments in their final year of schooling,” he said. “We understand many school leavers will be looking forward to celebrating the end of this huge year with their friends, however these celebrations must be held in a safe and responsible way that also adheres to the Chief Health Officer’s directions. “Police will continue to work closely with partner agencies, local councils and school leavers to make sure everyone has an enjoyable and safe time.” Police will increase their patrols across the Surf Coast, Phillip Island, and Mornington Peninsula.

Baxter extension hopes off the rails Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE state government is still not onboard the Frankston rail extension project. There was no funding for the proposed project in the state budget handed down last week. The business case assessing the cost of the extension was finally released last month. The cost given for duplicating and electrifying the Frankston line to Baxter was quoted at an eyewatering $1.3 - $1.5 billion. The federal government has committed $225 million to the extension. CEO of advocacy group Committee For Greater Frankston, Ginevra Hosking, said “the extension is vital-

ly important so Frankston and Mornington Peninsula residents can board trains at stations near where they live, instead of driving into Frankston’s CBD just to park and further restricting the suburban centre’s growth and development”. “On budget day, Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas matched the federal $5 billion funding for Airport Rail Link, and announced $2.2 billion for the $50 billion Suburban Rail Loop through Melbourne’s middle suburbs, $2 billion for Geelong fast rail, and $660 million for Shepparton and Warrnambool line upgrades. There was $276 million for Dandenong rail corridor and $5.5 million for track works at Caulfield. We need the basics. Actually getting people on the train, without commuter parking and

traffic clogging Frankston’s CBD,” she said. “Visionary rail projects like airport link and suburban loop are of little direct benefit if we can’t get more people on a train at their local station. When airport link opens, things might deteriorate even further – air travellers could leave their cars in Frankston’s CBD and make the 95-minute train trip to the airport. “We have connectivity failure. Fixing inadequate public transport between Frankston and Langwarrin is recognised by Infrastructure Australia as an immediate top 150 project in the nation. Both federal government and federal opposition recognise the value of this project and have committed to an initial $225 million. The Victorian Labor government has not.”

RENEWAL fees for health and food registrations for businesses in 2021 have been reduced by 25 per cent. It is the latest measure introduced by council to try and get restaurants back on their feet after the COVID-19 pandemic. An expression of interest process to provide financial support to businesses to establish the required safety measures for parklets has also started. The mayor Steve Staikos said “council has been working with local businesses to help them expand their outdoor dining offering wherever it can be safely established, whether that’s setting up in our parkland, taking over laneways or side streets or extending their seating onto adjacent footpaths. “We want to help our businesses thrive again and so we are trying to make the process of applying for outdoor dining permits as quick and smooth as possible, so they can welcome more diners back to their cafes and restaurants.” Visit kingston.vic.gov.au/outdoordining for more information

last year. Health minister Greg Hunt said the centre will offer free and paid programs to promote physical and mental health. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said “before his passing, Danny and the club had been working towards this project to give the local community somewhere their physical and mental health could be front and centre.” “The centre will include spaces for consulting suites, meeting rooms, shared work spaces and community classrooms as well as large multi-purpose areas that will be equipped to deliver programs to groups of up to 250 participants.” TAXPAYER funds will pay for a new health centre named after Danny Frawley at Moorabbin.

Funds for hospital expansion available FUNDING for the $562 million Frankston Hospital redevelopment has been made available in the state budget. The budget was handed down by the state government last week. A total of $16.2 million in taxpayer funding was allocated in the 2020/2021 financial year for the hospital expansion. The budget papers showed that $27.2 million will become available for the project in 2021/2022, $124.6 million in 2022/2023, and $191.1 million in 2023/2024. The budget read that the total estimated investment of $562 million “includes funding beyond 2023-24”. The funding is welcome news for supporters of the project. Just $6 million was set aside for the redevelopment in last year’s budget papers. The project was announced in the leadup to the state election in 2018. It is expected to be finished by the end of 2024. The redeveloped hospital is slated to have extra capacity for 120 hospital beds, two new operating theatres, 13 new emergency department beds, and new women’s and children’s health services. Expressions of interest opened earlier this year to find a private consortium to build the planned Frankston Hospital upgrade (“Private sector sought for hospital works”, The News, 28/9/20). Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said the budget also included other significant investments in Frankston. He said that the budget held $4.11 million

for upgrades at Karingal Primary School, $12.63 million for Frankston Special Developmental School, and $2.84 million for Nepean Special School. Just over $100 million in taxpayer funding was put into the “Building Better TAFEs Fund”, which the Frankston Chisholm institute is set to benefit from. “By investing in local schools, our government is investing in the kids of Frankston and their futures,” Mr Edbrooke said. “This budget will help locals reskill, upskill and find new opportunities for a secure, decent job – creating financial security for them and those they love most.” The state government has also committed to building 12,000 new homes for social housing. The budget is usually handed down in May, but was delayed this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Brodie Cowburn

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Aerial race to come to Frankston

Compiled by Cameron McCullough ON Boxing Day the Australian Aerial Derby will be decided. The fastest machines in Australia will compete, and they will start from the Epsom Racecourse, Epsom, and race to Frankston and back three times, a distance of 60 miles. The program of the machines will be reported by wireless telephony from Frankston to Epsom, so the spectators will be able to follow the race throughout. The British and Imperial Oil Co. Pty Ltd and The Herald and Weekly Times are presenting valuable trophies, and these will be presented by either the Prime Minister or Senator Pearce, the Minister of Defence. *** ON Saturday last, the Congregation Sunday School, Caulfield, accompanied by their parents and teachers held their annual picnic at Frankston. Quite an enjoyable time was spent, and the nippers sang their “grace” with great gusto. Sports were conducted in the Frankston Park, whilst bathing was indulged in by most, though the water was a trifle on “the agony” side. Tea was served to the elders in the pavilion, while the kiddies made the most of the good things sitting out under the stately pine trees. *** IT is not so long since the Frankston Pictures presented Marguerite Clarke in “Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.” On Saturday night another Marguerite was featured, and was highly entertaining in its comedy aspects.

PAGE 8

Supported by Eugene O’Brien and Crawford Kent, the dainty Marguerite Clarke was never more entertaining, especially in the scenes where she figured as cook. Her experiment in that demesne could hardly be called a credit to Mrs Beaton’s art, especially in the matter of cooking scones. “Anyhow”, she observed, “they will not be wasted, as we can use them for coal.” These are the light-hearted pictures the people want. *** THE late Captain George Calder, whose reminiscences were published many years ago, at one time commanded a diminutive craft, which was entirely built at Mornington – or Schnapper Point, as it was called those days – by a gentleman who had her timber cut and seasoned from his own estate there. The little craft’s tonnage was 20 tons, and she was schooner rigged. They made several trips about Port Phillip Bay, and then successfully tackled bringing a cargo of potatoes from Warrnambool to Melbourne. Some headway has been made since that little boat was built at Mornington! *** NOWADAYS, we hear so much about the way girls dress. Over Adelaide way, an employer told his typist to “go home and get dressed” whilst everybody has been amused at the vaporings of Henry Booth on the subject. But, from what this scribe overheard on Sunday last, Frankston was

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News

invaded on that day by a young city lady, who was an almost exact replica of the ladies of ancient Greece and Rome. In fact, she was mostly clothed in smiles, like Lady Godiver! One lady, supping beneath the jetty, was quite indignant about it. “She makes me almost ashamed of my sex,” she said. But her hubby – a “Digger” who had seen Paree – clinched the conversation by suggesting that the young lady was “merely out for an airing”. *** THE Roman Catholic Church, Hastings, was the scene of a successful mission last week. The missioner, Rev. Father McKenna, started the mission on Wednesday evening, and concluded on Sunday evening, every morning and evening service being well attended, people coming from Balnarring, Bittern and Crib Point to be present. The Children’s Choir sang very nicely. Miss Mary Hurley presided at the organ. *** IN the report of the Methodist Sunday School concert, in last issue, we omitted to record the fact that Miss Gale and Miss Judd were responsible for the training of the scholars for several of the most pleasing items on the programme. *** MR Nolan, a prominent Melbourne solicitor, and Mr S. A. Ehrengberg, of Robert Reid & Co. Pty Ltd, are recent purchasers of land at Frankston. Mr Ehreugberg proposes to reside here.

He has a notice re tenders in today’s issue. “Where Was Moses?” Who does not know the old saying, “Where was Moses when the light went out?” My opinion is that Moses was not far away from Frankston! Frankston’s electric light would be more suitable for Moses’ time than the present. It certainly has an uncanny habit of going out at the crucial moment. Since it is supposed to be a public utility, we expect something better of it. The mails in the local post office have been served out by candle light; the shop-keepers are sometimes in the act of serving, when out goes the “light”, and they then start a lamp and candle hunt in the Cimmerian darkness. And the Pictures – three Saturdays running, they have been hit. On Saturday night, it failed at a critical moment, and spoilt the performance of Chero the Great. How long is Frankston to continue to endure? *** FISHING last week at Chelsea, Messrs T. Dawson and F. Carter landed 130 schnapper. The favorites were 15lbs, 12lb and 10lb – the rest averaging 3lb to 5lbs. *** ON Saturday night the Post Office, Store and Tea Rooms (conducted by Captain and Mrs Davies) at Mt Eliza will be opened by Captain S. M. Bruce, M.H.R., supported by Hon. A. Downward, M.L.A.

It will be a gala night, and will indicate another step on the ladder of progress for this prosperous district. *** MR and Mrs George Kettlewell, of Melbourne, have purchased “Jerula”, Frankston, from Mrs Stokes, and with their family, will reside here during the summer months. *** AT the annual meeting of the Carrum Progress Association on Saturday night, Mr Stephen Barker (who until the last elections, was a member of the Senate was elected to the presidency, with Cr .W. Stephens a treasurer, and Mr J. Robertson as secretary. *** MR T. PARRIS desires to THANK all residents of Baxter and district who so kindly contributed towards the Cheque which Mr Collett handed to me last week. The good feeling and financial help are much appreciated, and make our lose through robbery much lighter then it would otherwise have been. *** THE EDITOR invites original short, practical articles or correspondence dealing with matters of importance to the development of the Mornington Peninsula as a whole, and is at all times pleased to hear the various opinions of those interested in matters of local interest and importance. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 26 November 1920

Your hearing questions answered IS it important for patients to see an audiologist if they think they may be having difficulties hearing? Yes, if you are starting to notice difficulties it’s important to have a full hearing test. We don’t just test which sounds you can hear, we also check how clearly you can understand speech, in quiet and in background noise. Some common indications that you may have a hearing loss are: • Turning the TV up • Frequently asking for repeats • Not being able to hear properly on the telephone • Difficulty in noisy situations such as restaurants • Missing out on important parts of the conversation Often your partner or a close family member may be the first person to notice that you are having difficulty hearing. Is it true that a lot of patients don’t actually need hearing aids? Yes. Probably 25 percent of those that we see do choose to get hearing aids. Some people have a little bit of hearing loss that we just need to talk about, and continue to monitor. Are there steps people who aren’t ready for hearing aids can do to help combat hearing loss? Yes. Pick a seat in a restaurant where you can see the faces of the people that you are taking to. This can make it easier to follow what they are saying. With the television, if you’re

not ready for hearing aids, we can get a set of cordless headphones. These can be one of the best options for hearing the TV clearly. Are there ever very simple solutions to hearing loss? Yes. Sometimes a hearing loss can be caused by ear wax blocking the canal. If someone needs a hearing aid, should they always choose the most expensive, top-of-the-line model? Most people don’t need the most expensive hearing aids, fully loaded with all the bells and whistles. It really is patient specific. You don’t always need the absolute top-of the-line hearing aid technology, if the features that you need are available in something less expensive. At Chelsea Hearing, we always offer you a range of options, and it is up to you to choose something that you are comfortable with. You should never feel pressured to proceed with hearing aids that you don’t feel ready for. Are smaller hearing aids more expensive? Generally, the style of the hearing aid does not have very much impact on the price. There are very good, small hearing aids available at all price points. Larger hearing aids are not necessarily less expensive either. The good news is that the very small, comfortable hearing aids are suitable for most people these days. How much do hearing aids cost? Most people who are on a Centrelink pension (such as an age

pension or a disability pension) are eligible for the Office of Hearing Services Voucher program. This enables them to choose from a range of hearing aids that are “free-toclient”. These hearing aids have improved significantly over the past few years, and a lot of people are pleasantly surprised at how natural they sound, and how small and comfortable they can be. Pensioners can also choose to contribute to more expensive hearing aids if they wish. For people who are not eligible for the voucher program, hearing aids typically start at $2,700 for a pair. What brand of hearing aids to you recommend? Chelsea Hearing is an independent clinic. We fit hearing aids from all of the major manufacturers. Our recommendations are made after we have tested your hearing, looked in your ears, and had a discussion about the things that you want to hear well. We also take the time to consider your preference for style and size of the hearing aids, as well as your budget. We will recommend the most appropriate hearing aids for you, and we will always give you a range of options to choose from. What is your philosophy on health care? If I wouldn’t do it for my Mum or Dad, I don’t do it for a patient. When I’m making recommendations for a patient, I think “if this was my mum or dad, with this hearing loss, and

these difficulties, would I be making the same recommendations?”. If the answer is “yes”, then I know I’m doing my best for a patient. What does the relationship you have with your patients mean to you? The patient comes first. The patient is your customer and you want to have the healthiest, happiest patient that you can. That makes me happy as well. To know that we are helping that patient to be happy is just rewarding. What is one thing about your job that really sticks out in a positive way? It’s really nice to be able to make a difference for people. Often the partner of the person with a hearing loss may have been repeating themselves and having to speak louder for years. When we help with a hearing loss (often with hearing aids) it’s often the family members who notice the benefit first. Suddenly they don’t have to repeat everything, and they don’t get so tired from speaking loudly all day. It can make a big difference for the whole family. Do you have rules that you live by when treating patients? My number one rule is to take things at the right pace of the individual patient. Some people come in here, and they know they want to get hearing aids and they want to get it all happening as quickly as possible. Other people come in, and they are having some difficulties hearing, but they don’t

know if they have a hearing loss. They may need a little bit more time to understand their hearing loss, and the options available. It doesn’t help anyone to push someone into getting hearing aids before they are ready for them, or to pressure someone to purchase hearing aids that cost more than they are comfortable with. Sometimes the best thing to do is explain what’s causing the problem, and what solutions are available. It can also be helpful to bring your partner or a close family member to your appointment with you.

Somerville fall short, Hastings let it slip, Seaford and Carrum Downs in a thriller By Brodie Cowburn

Taking a stand: Frankston YCW got the better of Pearcedale with a 52 run win. Picture: Andrew Hurst

PENINSULA

A TOP order collapse saw Somerville fall short of victory in their clash against Heatherhill on Saturday. Heatherhill chose to bat first, and opener Don Pulukkuttiarachchi was in impressive form. He scored a half century, with his side making 185 before their innings came to a close. Somerville struggled, with five of their top six batsmen dismissed for scores of less than ten. Three of those batsmen went out for just one run. Number four batsman Bradley McDonald tried his best to drag his side over the line, but his knock of 57 wasn’t enough. Somerville ended up losing by 41 runs. Long Island have notched up a good win against Moorooduc. Zachery Wilson and Pubudu Edirisinghe were the best performers for the victors, scoring 66 and 51 respectively. Long Island set Moorooduc a target of 208 to chase down. Moorooduc ended up at 167 when stumps was called. At Eric Bell Reserve, Pines managed to defend a low total against Flinders. Pines set their opponents 145 to chase down. Harley Peace-Stirling was top scorer for his side with 46. Flinders’ run chase got off to a nightmare start, with both openers dismissed for ducks. They weren’t able to recover, and went all out for 97. Main Ridge put together a big score of 210 against Seaford Tigers. The Tigers lost by 90 runs. Jordan McCulley took 7/59, sending all of the Tigers’ top order back to the sheds. The figures were his best ever in the MPCA.

DISTRICT

HASTINGS let a good chance to win go to waste on Saturday. Hosting Delacombe Park, the home side managed to keep their opponents to a low total. The visitors put 126 runs on the board before their innings expired. A tail order collapse cost Hastings the win, as their bottom six batsmen combined for just 13 runs.

PROVINCIAL

Hastings ended up all out for 99, 28 runs short of victory. Matthew Whelan bowled brilliantly for Delacombe Park, taking 4/18 off his eight overs. A near 100 run partnership between Neil Barfuss and Kip Mulvogue got Frankston YCW a win against Pearcedale. The Stonecats set their opponents 156 to chase down. Pearcedale came up short by 52 runs. Jack Santon played a big part for YCW, taking four wickets. Carrum continued their good start to the 2020/2021 season with a 98 run win over Rosebud. They have now won three on the trot.

SUB DISTRICT

SEAFORD and Carrum Downs played out a thriller at Kananook Reserve on Saturday. Carrum Downs chose to bat first, and were impressive. Opener Michael O’Driscoll was in the mood for runs, and finished with an unbeaten century.

Tootgarook only put 132 runs on the board before being bowled out, giving their bowlers a tough job to do to prevent a defeat. Rye couldn’t capitalise though, and ended up all out for 128. Just five more runs would have secured them the points. A hard fought half century from opener Azhar Zeeshan helped Skye to a narrow two wicket win over Tyabb. The Yabbies were held to a score of 136. They struggled to deal with the bowling of Ishtiaq Ahmed, who took 4/26. Skye ended up reaching their target with two wickets and three overs to spare. Balnarring took home the chocolates against Ballam Park, defending their total of 164. Ballam Park lost by 23. Boneo endured a horrible day on their home deck, being bowled out for just 67 off 26 overs. Mt Martha made quick work of that target, reaching it in just 20 overs to wrap up a quick day’s work.

His knock of 107 came off 118 balls, and featured twelve boundaries. Robert Johnston also played a part for his side, scoring 67. Carrum Downs’ 40 overs finished with the side at 4/230. Seaford had a big task ahead of them Opener Dil Pageni didn’t waste a moment getting Seaford’s run chase off and running. He smashed a quickfire 40 runs off just fourteen deliveries. He converted eight of the fourteen balls he faced into boundaries, three of them sixes. After he was dismissed the rate of scoring slowed, but Seaford remained in the hunt. After their middle order fell Seaford looked in a tricky position at 8/177. An impressive late showing from Mitch Anderson nearly got them over the line, as he scored 37 runs off just 21 balls. Unfortunately for him it was just too little, just too late. Seaford’s innings came to an end at 8/229. They lost by just one run. Tootgarook and Rye also clashed in a nailbiter last weekend.

A BRILLIANT century by Beau Anthony has helped Baden Powell get the win in a high-scoring clash against Mornington. Anthony smashed 126 runs at Alexandra Park. The score is his best ever for his side. At the end of Baden Powell’s innings they had put 233 runs on the scoreboard, giving Mornington a tall mountain to climb. Mornington worked hard to keep themselves in the game, and nearly pulled off the win. Matt Foon was their best performer, contributing 81 runs to the chase. At the end of Mornington’s 40 overs they had put together a score of 6/222, not quite enough for the win. Baxter came agonisingly close to a win on Saturday as they took on Mt Eliza at Emil Madsen Reserve. Opener Tim Strickland was the only batsman to make a big scoreboard impact for the Redlegs. His knock of 60 helped his side to a total of 8/135. It was a similar story for Baxter. Opener Sam Mullavey scored 63 not out, but he got no help from his partners. The next best batsman for Baxter scored 19. They ended up finishing their innings at 7/130, just short of a win. Sorrento had to work hard for it, but they managed to get the points against Red Hill. Sorrento scored just 116 in their innings, but managed to bowl out their opponents for only 99. Robert Wilson played a pivotal role for the Sharks, posting bowling figures of 4/23. Peninsula Old Boys got the better of Langwarrin away from home, chasing down a target of 122 to claim a four wicket win.

Nowakowski Skye to the core SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie WHEN Jason Nowakowski isn’t enforcing public health directives he’s policing the right side of Skye United’s senior team. He’s in his 10th year with Victoria Police and 2021 will be his fifth year at Skye Recreation Reserve. Nowakowski, 32, is married with a three-year-old son and is one of the few senior players in the local area never to have played as a junior. His playing career kicked off as a 14-year-old at Hailebury College and he was 18 when he joined his first club Endeavour United in Provisional League ranks in 2006. He spent a season in the reserves before breaking into the first team and his switch to Dandenong Sparrows in 2009 turned out to be his most successful season in the sport. Nowakowski was part of the all-conquering side that strolled away with the Provisional 2 South-East championship that year 12 points clear of its nearest challenger losing just one game and scoring 92 goals while conceding just 25. Domenic Savrimoutoo was the man who guided Sparrows to the title. “Dom was a good coach, very experienced, good drills … a very knowledgeable man and we had a really good team which included a Mauritian international,” Nowakowski said. A merger during the summer of 201011 saw the club become Hampton Park United Sparrows and Nowakowski was among a group of senior players who decided to stay. “It was a big change and it was a tough year 2011. I think we went undefeated in the first half of the year but then we lost players and had a couple of coaching changes.” Nowakowski had two seasons with the new club which struggled in 2012 eventually finishing second last in Provisional 1 South-East. “I went back to Endeavour in 2013 after a new president, George Theodorou,

United they stand: Skye’s Jason Nowakowski holds off an opponent just outside the opposition penalty area. Picture: Gemma Sliz

reached out to me. I knew George outside soccer anyway and what he told me about where the club was heading really appealed to me at the time.” Nowakowski’s second stint at Endeavour United spanned four seasons and he played under three coaches during that time – Brian Smith, Hansell Campos and present-day Chelsea gaffer Carlo Melino. “They were a mixed four years but we were always challenging for the top four. “Carlo had the biggest influence on me there. “His coaching was different to what I had experienced. He was probably the best player manager I’d experienced up till then. “His biggest influence was with the younger boys and the way he spoke to them but it also had an impact on the older players. “We’d leave the dressing room feeling invincible. “He would research teams based on their last five results and what formation he expected them to line-up with and we’d go over that before every game. He was very well prepared.” Nowakowski scored against Skye United in the 2016 John Ramsden memorial match and was voted man of the match. That added impetus to the efforts of then Skye coach Billy Armour to get him to make the switch.

“Billy was pretty much on my case every week texting, calling and I told him that halfway through that year I’d be away for six weeks on my honeymoon. “But he sold the club to me and from what he was telling me they were pushing for promotion and wanted to go higher. “He kept contacting me and I went down there for the 2017 pre-season and decided to join.” Nowakowski had two seasons under Armour before the big Scot left in September 2018 and was replaced by Phil McGuinness the following month. “I genuinely really like Billy as a coach. “He really knows his stuff and if we were lacking in a certain area we’d work on it week-in week-out.” Under McGuinness the intensity of training was ramped up and had an immediate effect. Skye finished second in State 3 last year winning promotion to State 2 for the first time in its history. “We knew what to expect when ‘Slippy’ (McGuinness) was appointed because he was our fitness coach under Billy. “We were already a strong defensive team but when ‘Slippy’ took over we became a really intense high-pressure team and our workrate was incredible. “Last year we went out thinking ‘we’ll win this even if we go a goal

down’. “We knew that by the 60th or 70th minute we’d be outrunning teams and that’s exactly what we did. “Pretty much the whole year we were outworking teams and a lot of our goals came in the last 20 minutes of games. “Stephen Duffy (assistant coach) is pretty much the same as ‘Slippy’. “They are both very driven coaches who know what they want.” Another of Skye’s great strengths is a core group of senior players that Nowakowski holds in high regard. “Before my arrival a few of these guys were already there and when I arrived you probably had eight or nine players in that group. “When we started back training last week those players were still there and that group is unbelievable. “It’s probably the most dedicated core group I’ve ever played with and trained with.” The commitment among this group is best exemplified by Marcus Collier who remains club captain despite suffering a season-ending ACL injury in the first half of 2018 with Nowakowski taking on the role in his absence. “When Marcus came back the following season I expected him to just take over the captaincy but he refused because we were doing well and he didn’t want to interfere with that. “That’s the type of person he is and that’s how selfless these blokes are. They are an amazing group of players.” And that is the group that Skye United will pin its hopes on as it finally embarks on its maiden State 2 journey in 2021. “Our goal in State 2 is to do what we did in State 3 and I personally think we’ll be even stronger. “We want to push ourselves to the limit and to get promoted again and I think we can do that.” Meanwhile in State 3 news Frankston Pines has confirmed the re-signing of its four Fijian internationals brought here earlier this year: goalkeeper Aeseli Batikasa, defender Penni Tuigulagula, midfielder Savenaca Baledrokadroka

and striker Tito Vodawaqa. There have been some high-profile sightings at Pines’ training and the club has confirmed two friendlies against NPL3 outfit Doveton’s under-21s and under-19s at Monterey Reserve on Thursday 10 December. Doveton’s under-21s are coached by former Langwarrin technical director Stephen Fisher and will feature two former Langy juniors in Brodie Jones and Noah Green while Daniel Taylor will debut against his former club where his father Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor is head coach. Both matches will kick-off at 7pm on the main pitch and rear pitch. Next Saturday (5 December) Pines will host another All Abilities come and try session starting at 10am. The club has appointed Peter Zapantis as its All Abilities co-ordinator and Saturday’s session at Monterey Reserve will feature some of the senior coaching staff. In State 4 news Seaford United has confirmed that Peter Schwellinger will be joint senior coach along with playing-coach Matt Morris-Thomas. Schwellinger fills the role vacated by Andy Lancaster in September and is a former Melbourne Knights, Richmond and Langwarrin goalkeeper whose sons Matthias and Jeremy are part of Seaford’s senior squad. Schwellinger has coached at Frankston Pines, Old Carey, Melton Phoenix and Whittlesea United. In other news Football Victoria has released its 2021 competitions calendar. NPL2 and men’s State League round 1 is on the weekend of 21 March with round 22 on the weekend of 5 September. Catch-up rounds have been scheduled for the weekends of 4 April, 13 June and 15 August. The first qualifying round of the FFA Cup is on the weekend of 14 February. Women’s State League kicks off on the weekend of 18 April with the final round on the weekend of 29 August. Women’s catch-ups are scheduled for the weekends of 4 July and 15 August.

Vale Jim Marconi – a man of many talents HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou CHAMPION Mornington-based racehorse trainer Jim Marconi passed away last Monday 23 November aged 87. Leaving behind a remarkable legacy, Marconi swiftly moved from a lateblooming picnic trainer in his mid-40s in 1978 to becoming a multiple Group One winning professional owner/trainer over the next two decades with the feats of Cossack Prince, Rancho Ruler and King Marauding to name a few. But, it wasn’t just racing that Marconi succeeded at. Despite setbacks throughout his life, he always found a way to turn it into an opportunity. Before immigrating to Australia in his mid-20s, Marconi found a way to overcome poverty and suffering as a child in Italy as war broke loose and Mussolini’s Italy became occupied by the Germans. Listening to the stories from Jim’s son, Carlo Marconi, he said his father would talk about the day’s when kids would find themselves in possession of vast caches of explosives and weapons as the fighting worsened. “[Jim] would even sneak through the woods to provide food for a boy who was being chased by the German’s for graffitiing one of their occupied buildings,” Carlo said. At the age of 13, Jim began working

Marconi magic: Jim Marconi celebrating his Mornington Cup win with Dancing Sculptor in 1993. Picture: Supplied

alongside his uncle to build transmission towers, and by the age of 23, he had made a small fortune to be able to move to Australia and start a new life. Arriving in Australia penniless, Jim secured work as a builder in South Australia and occasionally joined workmates at the races where he began to gain a liking for the sport. Changing hands and becoming a tiler, Jim created his second fortune with the importation of tonnes of black marble from Italy and later sold his company, Marble Tiles, for big money. This allowed him to indulge in his newest passion, owning racehorses. Accompanying Hall of Fame trainer

George Hanlon to a New Zealand yearling sale, Jim picked out a yearling for $13,500 who would later become Tara’s Bulba. Owned by Jim, Tara’s Bulba went on to win the 1974 AJC Derby and the Rosehill Guineas as well as finishing second in the Cox Plate, WATC Derby and Perth Cup. Not long after and Jim’s passion grew from owning to wanting to train the racehorses himself. Marconi, who set up a farm in Baxter called Tara’s Lodge – named after Tara’s Bulba - started out his training career on the picnic circuit in 1978. Within five months, Marconi had trained eight winners from 11 starters

thanks mainly to the deeds of Fiddledee, who won the 1978 Balnarring Cup with apprentice jockey Ray Douglas aboard. With his rapid success, Marconi was awarded an owner/trainers licence and soon notched up his first city winner in July of 1979 with Tara’s Regent, a horse who was returning from a bowed tendon. Aquatorial secured Marconi’s first stakes win in the Victoria Handicap in 1981 before his first star galloper, Cossack Prince, made his stamp on the racetrack. Carlo said “it wasn’t what [Cossack Prince] won, it was what he didn’t win that made him so special”, having placed many times at the elite level. Carrying Marconi’s red, white and green silks, Cossack Prince finished second in the Caulfield Cup, Underwood Stakes and Caulfield Stakes of 1983. He won the Group Two Peter Pan Stakes and Hill Stakes in Sydney of 1982, defeating the ‘Sydney Champion’ Kingston Town in the latter. Marconi’s fame was further enhanced with the gifted Rancho Ruler who won the Group One Marlboro Cup, now known as the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes, in 1988. He won the Maribyrnong Plate as a two-year-old, as well as the Chirnside, Manikato and Memsie Stakes at Group Two level later in his career. The Manikato and Memsie now carry

Group One status. On top of winning another three races in his 29-start career, Rancho Ruler placed multiple times at the elite level. He finished second to Midnight Fever in the 1987 Blue Diamond Stakes before placing in the Oakleigh Plate, Lightning Stakes and Futurity Stakes as a three-year-old. Marconi secured another Group One win with King Marauding in the 1992 Manikato Stakes. He also won the VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes with the colt earlier in the year before backing it up a year later with the Rancho Rulersired Pride Of Rancho in 1993. Jim Marconi’s daughter, Fiona, put it brilliantly in a tribute to her father on Tuesday posting that “whilst having many professional successes, [Jim Marconi’s] greatest achievement was his family, who truly adored him”. “Dad lived an enormous life filled with an abundance of love, laughter, dedication and passion. He could be both fiery and tenacious and kind and loving,” she wrote. “We are so fortunate to have had so much time with him. He will be desperately missed.” Jim Marconi held a trainer’s licence until 2011 and spent his last days in an incredible home overlooking the Mornington Harbour, a testament to his hardwork throughout his life.
