Off leash dog plans all bark and no bite Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au DOG owners will be made to keep their furry friends on a lead when visiting Edithvale Beach, after a proposal to let four legged companions roam free was rejected by council. On 22 October Kingston Council voted to turn down the proposal. Kingston mayor Cr Steve Staikos said “council received nearly 1,000

submissions from community members opposing the plan, and a number of other issues were raised through the consultation process.” “From the responses we identified some common issues. Residents are fed up with people not picking up after their dogs, they would like more patrols, have access to free dog bags, and see more fenced off leash areas created in Kingston. “Council has taken on board all of the feedback we’ve received and

struck the right balance.” Councillors decided as part of their decision not to proceed with a 24-hour off leash zone on Edithvale Beach that they would “investigate alternative options for fenced off leash areas in the South Ward in non foreshore reserves, undertake a report into the feasibility of introducing disposable dog bags” and “increase patrols during the summer on Kingston’s foreshores”. Dog owners are now restricted to

set times in which they can have their pets off leash. From 1 November to 31 March, dogs are only permitted to be off leash on sanded areas from sunrise to 10am. Dogs are forbidden on the beach between 10am and 7.30pm. From 7.30pm onwards, dogs on the beach can be walked on leash. From 1 April to 31 October, dogs must be on a leash from 11am to 3pm. They are permitted off leash on the sanded areas at all other times.

A consultation session was held on 16 October to engage with residents about their thoughts on the proposal. The matter was set to be discussed at the 24 September council meeting, but was deferred to make time for this consultation and to provide absent south ward councillors David Eden and Tamsin Bearsley a chance to contribute to discussion. (“Off leash dogs on the agenda”, The News 17/10/18)

Basketball board makes cash claims Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

Bipartisan funding found for Seaford football LIBERAL Carrum candidate Donna Bauer has visited RF Miles Reserve to announce a $2.6 million funding commitment to the ground if the state Coalition win the upcoming election. This announcement matches the election commitment made by Labor MP Sonya Kilkenny on 19 October towards new facilities. The Seaford Football Club home ground has been out of use due to nearby Level Crossing Removal project works. “We’ve listened to the community and we’re getting on and building a better RF Miles Reserve where more families can spend quality time together,” Ms Kilkenny said about her commitment. “We’re building on what people already love about Seaford, creating more open space and a brand new pa-

vilion for local sports clubs to grow. I’d like to thank Seaford residents for their patience as these important works were undertaken, this level crossing removal now means a safer and less congested community. “Major works to restore and improve the oval will start later this year, with the brand new surface ready to go for the 2020 footy season.” Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton has expressed his support for the “positive announcements” being made for the ground. “We have had numerous discussions with politicians and candidates and will continue advocating for this vital upgrade to be completed ahead of the state election in November,” he said. “I’d like to thank Seaford Cricket Club and Seaford Football Netball Club for their efforts in lobbying for

this project, and urge the community and club members to continue to raise their voice and let candidates know that this project will secure their vote.” Mr Hampton has also called for a commitment of federal funding from Dunkley MP Chris Crewther and Labor candidate Peta Murphy. Council has committed $3.347 million towards works to refurbish the ground. While their ground has been overtaken by level crossing works, Seaford have been playing their home matches at Belvedere Reserve. Donna Bauer and Sonya Kilkenny MP both talked at a forum organised by Frankston Council on 30 August. The election will take place on 24 November.

FRANKSTON District Basketball Association have accused Frankston Council of refusing to return $2.5 million to the state government. The money was pledged by the state government to the expansion of the Frankston Basketball Stadium in Seaford. Plans to build that stadium fell through after a new lease agreement could not be reached between council and FDBA, in a saga that saw Dunkley MP Chris Crewther use his parliamentary privilege to take shots at the basketball board. (“Basketball Money on way to park”, The News, 17/4/2018) Federal funding touted for the Seaford stadium project was diverted towards Jubilee Park works. FDBA said in a statement on their website that they have been working with Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny to “deliver alternate facilities for basketball located on crown land. Unfortunately, this process has been hampered by Frankston City Council’s refusal to return the $2.5 million back to the state government.” “This refusal directly undermines the opportunities available to the association to co-fund alternate facilities to the benefit of the 1000s of players, coaches, officials & volunteers connected to the association

through their shared passion for the sport of basketball. “The rationale of council’s refusal is based on council having spent a large proportion of the $2.5million on design & legal costs.” Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden did not respond to queries from The News asking if the money had been spent. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said that “the state government fully expect the $2.5 million funding for the unsuccessful Frankston Basketball Stadium project to be returned in full, seeing as the project was never started.” The FDBA statement said that “as advised to Sonya Kilkenny MP, it is the position of the FDBA that this funding committed to in 2014 be activated for the benefit of basketball in Carrum electorate which was and continues to remain the intention of the funding,” “Due to this issue now escalating with both the state and council engaging legal teams to work through the current impasse, Frankston Basketball encourages you to lend your voice so this much needed funding remains in the seat of Carrum, for the benefit of basketball.”

Assistance below the poverty line: Helpers lend a hand at Frankston’s AntiPoverty week event Picture: Supplied

COMMUNITY Support Frankston and the Frankston Homelessness Network have joined forces to hold an event commemorating Anti-Poverty Week. The event, held on 18 October, was designed to encourage members of the community to engage with Community Support Frankston’s services. The non for profit, volunteer based service helps provide people in need with emergency food, grocery vouchers, and help with bills. CSF says they helped 13,000 people last year. CSF manager Steve Phillips said “close to 3 million Australians are living below the poverty line. It’s important to strengthen the understanding of the causes and consequences of poverty and hardship.” “The majority of people we see at CSF are living below the poverty line, trying to make ends meet. This is something we all need to address and

work together to reduce.” The event was held in conjunction with Frankston Council. “Council recently endorsed support for the Raise the Rate campaign, calling on the Australian Government to raise the rate of newstart, youth allowance and related payments. When there are people still struggling to afford daily basics such as food and a roof over their head, something needs to change,” Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton. “We need to work together to help reduce poverty and homelessness in our city. I would encourage residents to sign the online Raise the Rate petition.” For more information on support services provided by Community Support Frankston, visit frankston.net.

Council fights to stop blight of termite bites at local sites KINGSTON Councillors have voted to declare the municipality as a “termite prone” area. The decision, which was voted on at the 22 October council meeting, will see extra measures put in place to “increase community awareness about the risks of termites at properties and to increase measures to prevent them.”

“CSIRO reports have revealed that termites are prevalent across Victoria. Being declared a termite prone area will ensure that developers put in measures to protect new properties against infestations,” Kingston mayor Cr Steve Staikos said. “Homeowners with existing properties who have any concerns, are encouraged to invite an expert to their

property to assess their risk.” Frankston Council is also considered one of 15 municipalities classified as “termite prone”. Bubbling paint, mud in plasterwork, or disintegrating wood are among the signs of a termite problem.

A MAN spotted filling his car with petrol at a Grant Road, Baxter, service station, midnight, Friday 19 October, sped off when police approached. The man, driving a silver Holden Vectra with stolen plates, was last seen heading towards Somerville. He is described as early 20s, Caucasian, skinny-to-medium build with short blond hair. He was wearing a white cap, black and white jacket with black pants and black runners.

Caleb Pavlovic, 20 years old, was facing charges of criminal damage and assault, was about to be returned to the cells when he ran from the court complex about 4pm, Tuesday 23 October. A protective custody officer was allegedly injured in the incident. He was arrested at a fast food outlet in Hastings just before 1am, Tuesday 24 October, and further charged with escaping from custody. The man will return to the court on Wednesday 31 October.

Coolart roadworks shelved PROPOSED works to improve the flow of traffic at the Frankston-Flinders and Coolart roads intersection have been shelved after consultation with VicRoads. The decision came after consideration of the intersection’s low collision rate and funds available for any improvement works. Drivers turning left from Coolart Road should continue using the merge lane and not illegally cross the solid white line into westbound traffic on Frankston-Flinders Road.

THE new bridge connecting Bonbeach and Carrum has been christened with a name. Sonya Kilkenny visited the bridge on 26 October to announce the name: the Karrum Karrum Bridge. Ms Kilkenny said the name was chosen from 200 submissions because it pays respect to the Bunurong people. “By choosing the name Karrum Karrum, we are combining modern vibrant design with local Indigenous principles to enhance peoples connection to a place, to its stories and to what came before,” she said. “The revitalisation of Carrum will help boost business for local shops by attracting more people to the area and provide more ways for residents and visitors to enjoy the bayside suburb.”

A patrolling police van noticed several vehicles heading towards the vicinity of Lakewood Boulevard, where 20 vehicles and up to 50 people were gathered. On police arrival, the crowd and vehicles have fled. A white Toyota Landcruiser drove at the stationary police car, swerving away at the last moment but side-swiping the van before driving off. It’s believed the vehicle was later seen driving erratically on Eastlink. No policeman was injured during the incident. Kingston Crime investigation Unit is investigating the incident.

‘Nothing to consider’ for golf plans PLANNING Minister Richard Wynne MP has confirmed that there is no prosal in front of him to rezone Kingswood Golf Course. Kingston Council’s decision to deny a planning permit to the developer will for now be upheld. “Developers of the Kingswood golf course at Dingley Village have put their plans on hold following Kingston Council’s decision to abandon seeking an amendment to the planning scheme to re-zone the site,” Mr Wynne said. “The developer has issued a statement saying they accept the decision and do not plan to resubmit their proposal. As a result, there is nothing to consider. “It’s now up to Council and the developer to discuss the future of the site to seek some agreement.”

Having a hit for housing MOONAH Links is set to host an event that will see keen golfers teeing off for an important cause. Tempo and Global Village Housing have teamed up to host the inaugural 50/50 Golf Challenge, which will aim to raise funds to build houses in Cambodia. Global Village Housing Cambodia has been working with Tempo to raise funds for the cause for three years, with this being their first Golf Challenge event. The goal will be to raise enough money to fund four homes and fresh water wells in Cambodia. “Global Village Housing build and gift homes in Cambodia for the poorest of poor. As a team, we have been involved and committed to GVH for over three years, working with them to raise

money to build and gift homes. Your involvement in this event will allow us to build another four homes and provide essential supplies to many families for Christmas,” Natalie Sevior from Tempo said. “This is our first Tempo 50/50 Golf Challenge and our main fundraiser for the year. Of course this won’t be your run of the mill event, Tempo does not deliver mediocre. When the score is secondary, and the experience is everything.” The event will take place on the open course of Moonah Links on Friday, 16 November. Food, beverages, and entertainment will be on display all day. Auctions and prizes will be taking place, with a trip to Vanuatu up for grabs. If anyone wants further information or would like to register, email natalie@thetempogroup. com.au or call 0439368181.

New look: Concepts for a revamped Karingal Hub Shopping Centre were shown off in Frankston Council’s latest meeting agenda. Picture: Supplied

Thumbs up for shopping expansion A $62 MILLION dollar expansion of Karingal Hub shopping centre has been given the green light by council. The major redevelopment of the centre is set to introduce more space for retail outlets and restaurants, a “town centre with a community meeting room”, and an additional 762 free car parking spaces. The centre is managed by ISPT Property, who had their application approved by Frankston Council at the 22 October meeting. “This is excellent news that our city is attracting investment on this scale which will bring jobs and visitors to our region. The community will really be able to see the benefits of having a wider retail offering, as well as even more dining options on our doorstep,”

Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton said. “While the shopping may bring in the visitors, the proposed town centre will be a real asset for locals. It aims to provide a community focal point, connecting the entertainment and retail centres. “Outdoor dining terraces, a new two level restaurant/café and a fenced children’s play area are exciting new additions which will only add to the lifestyle currently on offer in Frankston City.” Construction on the project is expected to begin within the next two years. The same meeting in which this development was approved also saw council agree to meet with Bayside Shopping Centre to discuss a way forward that might involve free parking.

For the cause: Golfers will tee off from Moonah Links on 16 November for the cause of raising money to build homes in Cambodia for those in need. Picture: Gary Sissons

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Naval Base to be supplied with mains water Compiled by Brodie Cowburn ACCORDING to present calculations the naval base at Westernport will be supplied with water by the new year. While the main efforts of the Water Commission have been concentrated on providing the supply for the naval base, regard has been made for the needs of towns on the route of the service, and it has been found that the whole of the area as far as Mentone at least fall naturally within the scheme. It has now been agreed to extend the scheme northwards so as to include a supply to the whole of Mordialloc and Mentone. *** WE are compelled to hold over report of the Somerville Branch of the Australian Comforts Fund, and several other interesting items till our next issue. *** TONIGHT a concert for the Frankston Soldiers Repatriation Fund will be given in the Mechanics. There should be a bumper house for such a worthy movement, especially as the money raised will be expended in the district, and on our own boys. *** MR J. C. Murphy, who has seen three and a half years of active service at the front with our troops, has now purchased the dairy business of Mr T. Reeves, in Bay Street, Frankston, and solicits a continuance of the support accorded his predecessor. *** REV O. J. Boyle, Methodist Home Mission Deputation, will preach on Sunday next at Frankston, morning;

Langwarrin, afternoon; and Somerville, evening. He will address a public meeting in the Frankston Methodist Church on Thursday evening next at 8p.m. *** THE president of the Frankston Progress Association acknowledge with thanks, the receipt of the following donations to Madden Memorial Fund. Amount previously acknowledged, £25 17s 6d; Dr Foreman (Sydney), £5 5s; Sir David Hennessy, £2 2s; Miss R. McAlister, £2 2s; Miss M. V. Primrose; £1 1s ; John Jolly esq. £1 1s; Mrs John Jolly, £1 1s ; Mrs Agnes Shidds, 10s ; Total, £38 19s 6d. Donations acknowledged only up to 25th Oct. 1918. Th President of the Frankston Progress Association has received a communication from Miss M. V. Primrose, organising secretary of the Australian Visiting Trained Nurses’ Association of which the late Sir John Madden was President. Miss Primrose anticipates being able to forward a donation of £1 1s for each of the members, by a later mail, for the Madden Memorial Fund. Miss Primrose also wishes and suggests that a public function to raise funds for the Memorial be inaugurated in Melbourne in which the Australian Trained Nurses Association would assist and take part. The suggestion will be brought before the next meeting of the Progress Association. *** 8th Presentation to Frankston Volunteers. On Thursday evening the Mechanics’ Hall was well filled, at

the invitation of the local branch of the Red Cross Society, in order to bid farewell to a few more of our brave lads, who have now reached the age that renders them eligible for enlistment, and who were only too eager for that time to come. The chair was occupied by Cr Chas. Murray, President of the Shire, in the absence of Mr James Grice, who was unavoidably absent. A good musical programme was commenced by the singing of the National anthem, Miss O’Grady presiding at the piano, and also playing most of the accompaniments. The following programme was then gone through: Mr Payne, song and encore; Mrs Boyett, song; Miss E. Murray, song; Mrs Aitken, song and encore. The chairman then said that the most important part of the programme would now be proceeded with, viz. the presentation of medals to the lads who had enlisted in defence of their King and Country. He spoke of the deeds done by our Australian lads who had already gone, and felt sure that the lads that evening would emulate those deeds. These young men, as they come of age, were keeping up the traditions of Frankston, and if the other parts of the State had followed that example there would have been no need for compulsory enlistment. Dr Plowman said the presentation this evening to volunteers from Frankston was the eighth that had been made since the commencement of war. There had been 136 presentations

made and with the six to be made that evening, made up a total of 142 volunteers who had received presentations. In the first instance presentations of wristlet watches were made, but it was afterwards thought that medals would be more suitable and last longer as mementoes of the occasion. The chairman then made the first presentation to Private Allan Tivendale (formerly employed in the local post office) and accompanied the gift with a few words of cheer and encouragement and a wish for his safe return. Private Eric McComb, whose brother, Private Bert McComb had made the supreme sacrifice, and he was going to fill his place. Private Reg. Coxall, Private F. Johns, Privates Earps, and Private Evan Jones, were then given their medals by the chairman, who expressed great admiration at the action of the lads and a heartfelt wish for their safe e return. Private R L. Green, a returned man who his re-enlisted and gone to the front for the second time, and Privates Reginald and Robert Grierson, the two latter being present and are just about leaving for the front, will also receive medals at a later date, their names not having been given to the hon. sec. (Dr Plowman) in time for presentations to be made that evening. After the presentations, three hearty cheers were given and “ For they are jolly good follows” sang with enthusiasm. After Mr Payne and Mrs Aitken

had favored the company with songs and the Misses Murray with a duet, for which an encore was demanded. Cr Mason proposed a hearty vote of thanks to all those who had assisted in making the function the undoubted success it had been. Refreshments were then handed round, and the proceedings termnated in a dance, which was much enjoyed. *** OUR LETTER BOX. THE WATTLE CLUB. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—In your last week’s issue of the “Standard “ there appears an article, criticising the Wattle Club, in which you state that the Wattle Club absolutely refused to lend any of its furnishings, or to assist in any way, the welcome to two Anzacs. Now, Sir, I wish to say that that statement is absolutely inaccurate, as the president gave me full permission to use whatever I required of the club’s crockery, furnishings, etc. They even left the decorations up in the hall which had been in use the night previous. Trusting you will do justice to the Wattle Club by inserting this disclaimer.—Yours etc. ALICE McCOMB. We quite understand that the Wattle Club material was loaned to Mrs M’Comb personally, and also we have on reliable authority that it was refused the Welcome Home committee as a body. Why ?—ED. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 2 November 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

It’s Okay to Be White (But It’s Still Not Okay to be Awful) By Stuart McCullough I’ve never really wondered If it’s okay to be white It’s never really crossed my mind Or kept me up at night It seemed a silly thing to say So strange and impolite But still it made me think of all The whiteness in my life I wake up every morning On the white side of the bed Ignoring all the white noise That has gathered in my head It continues on with coffee Flat white! Not cappuccino No other brew would ever do For this middle-aged albino I slap on some white sunscreen If I plan to step outside Otherwise my pale skin Will sizzle, bake and fry Cos being pink is not okay And red is downright awful Sunstroke makes me lie down And take aspirin by the paw full For when it comes to being white There’s no one white as me It’s not that it is not okay More it was meant to be Cos being white is not a choice It’s a question of degree I suspect it’s true for others too Whatever shade they be Purple, green or topaz too - Everyone’s fantastic! Whatever kind of skin you’re in Wrinkled or elastic It’s just the sack we’re stuck with We’re otherwise the same We want the lives of those we love To be sweet as sugar cane

‘It’s okay to be white’ What a puzzling declaration! Dare I suggest that it betrays A vulgar fascination With trying to sew division In every corner of the nation. That’s such a lot of fuss over A lack of pigmentation ‘It’s okay to be white’ I’m still puzzled that you said it It’s not a thing that needs to be Debated in the Senate It’s such a shame it happened Whether here or Timbuktu Especially when you should have Many better things to do It’s okay to speak your mind I just hope that it’s awake! And that you know the impact That your silly words can make For it’s okay to be quite dull Bohemian or artsy But it’s not okay to echo things Said by neo-Nazis Yes, it’s okay to be white Or be mauve or pink or purple It’s okay to like giraffes Or dugongs, dogs or turtles. It’s okay to be tall and thin Or short and kind of dumpy It’s okay to be anything - Happy, sad or grumpy. So let’s agree that it’s okay To be anything you like And if that proves too much for you Then, best be on your bike Stop your incessant carping Be glad for what you’ve got For being white might be okay But being awful is definitely not stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Seaford took on Hastings and posted a small total of 81 off just 47 overs before their 10 wickets fell. Hastings punished Seaford for their struggles, and ended the day with a whopping 1/130. Robert Hearn will continue his innings next weekend from 55 not out. Heatherhill won the toss and chose to bat first against Mt Martha, and posted a handy first innings total of 145.

PENINSULA

MOOROODUC have failed to make the most of a poor Long Island innings as the first two day clashes of the 2018/19 MPCA season took place. Andrew Tweddle top scored for Long Island with a lowly score of 17, as Moorooduc bowler Reece Cordeaux starred by running through the top order and claiming figures of 4/23 with 7 maidens. Long Island ended up all out for 75, but were let off the hook by a shaky Moorooduc, who lost their first two wickets for 4 runs. Moorooduc finished the day at 5/98. At Ditterich Reserve Crib Point were sent in to bat first by Main Ridge. Losing the toss had no effect on Crib Point, who batted well to reach 8/190 at the close of play. Jason Albress could hold his head high after a strong performance with ball in hand, claiming 4/63. Red Hill put in a good performance against Somerville to reach a strong total of 184. Tail end batsman Jamie McCall put in a big shift, with 44 runs to his name. The final Peninsula match featured Pines and Baden Powell. Pines won the toss and chose to bat first, and their top order performed valiantly. Ashley Hupe scored a well taken half century, as the Pines ended up all out for a well taken 221. Baden Powell finished at 0/7 at the end of play.

Langwarrin performed brilliant away from home against the Peninsula Old Boys, as they won the toss and chose to bat first, Matt Prosser fell agonisingly short of a century when he was dismissed for 96, but there was still plenty to smile about as his side finished the day at 9/295. Travis Campbell also performed well with a good score of 70. Mornington performed better with their home ground advantage, as they put Pearcedale to work with an impressive batting display. Ben Clements continued his brilliant start to the year, claiming his second century in the last week before being run out for 105. Mornington finished at 8/276 at the end of 80 overs. Mt Eliza also performed well to survive 80 overs, as they finished their innings against Flinders at 8/203. Two half centuries from middle order batsmen saved Mt Eliza from a tougher battle. Dwayne Field was the pick of the bowlers for Flinders, claiming figures of 5/82.

Baxter, Pines snare coach, players SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie BAXTER and Frankston Pines have hit the ground running with preparations for next season. Last week Baxter announced that Robert Mathieson was the new assistant to head coach George Hughes while the makeover of the Pines squad by gaffer Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor got underway in earnest. Mathieson played with Mulgrave, Croydon, Springvale City and Dandenong City before joining Langwarrin 27 years ago eventually becoming a long-serving assistant to legendary senior coach Gus Macleod. He spoke to other local clubs before accepting an offer from Baxter gaffer George Hughes. “I get on well with George and we share the same football philosophy so it was a good fit,” Mathieson said. “The facilities there are top-notch and they’re only going to get better with new lighting and new dugouts on the way in fact the facilities are better than some of the NPL clubs I’ve been to. “I think Baxter has got great potential and hopefully with George’s experience and my experience we can point the team in the right direction.” Ex-Langwarrin midfielder Matt Morgan has been linked with Baxter again after leaving the club midway through last season and joining rival Hampton Park United, which eventually was relegated. Current Langy midfielder Jonny Guthrie is another possible target. The experienced Englishman would be a huge asset in the middle of the park and is just as comfortable playing at the back. Hughes and Mathieson were not the only interested spectators at last Wednesday night’s hit-out between Australia Youth and Baxter at Parkmore soccer club in Keysborough. Former Kingston City and Baxter midfielder and current Skye United player Jack Gallagher was in the crowd and was seen deep in conversation with Hughes. Australia Youth was coached by former Baxter boss Roy Kilner who is preparing the squad for the 2018 UNite Cup run by the Melbourne Chinese Soccer Association in partnership with Football Victoria and Melbourne Victory. Kilner has been offered the senior coaching job at Dandenong Warriors which is one of Baxter’s State 4 South rivals so his presence will add an edge to league clashes between these clubs

in 2019. Meanwhile Pines used social media to announce the signings of Travis Ernsdoerfer and Cameron Bryden last Friday while Cedric Benza, Tuach Ter and Tapiwanashe Munyanyiwa are expected to be announced as new signings this week. Ernsdoerfer, 18, is a former Bentleigh Greens junior who made his senior debut with Baxter before playing with Langwarrin’s under-20s in the NPL last season. “He brings a different dimension to us up front,” Taylor said. “He’s very direct, strong on the ball and powerfully built. He’s comfortable with his back to goal and he’s good in the air.” Bryden, 23, played with Langy juniors before making his senior debut with Seaford United. He was overseas for most of last season but returned and played half a dozen games for Seaford as the club battled to save its State 3 South-East status. “He’s good on the ball and he

doesn’t mind getting stuck in,” Taylor said. “He can play in central midfield or up front and he’ll be an asset.” Benza, 20, is a former Springvale White Eagles player who joined Langy’s under-20s last season but no longer qualifies for that age group. “Cedric’s a readymade senior player and I’ve got a lot of time for him,” Taylor said. “He’s strong, good in the air and his recovery and closing speeds are just fantastic.” Ter is a former Springvale White Eagles and Langwarrin under-20s leftsided player and Taylor was delighted to clinch his signature. “Tuach has terrific quick feet, is defensively sound and has the ability to get past an opponent and whip dangerous crosses into the box,” he said. “Tapsy” Munyanyiwa is set to quickly become a fans favourite at Monterey Reserve. He’s a flying machine with plenty of NPL senior experience and the 21-year-old winger has been with

Bentleigh Greens, Springvale White Eagles, Sunshine George Cross, Doveton and Point Cook. “He was with me when we won the under-20s championship at Bentleigh and I’m absolutely stoked to get him to Pines,” Taylor said. The only loss so far from last season’s senior squad is midfielder Ross Robertson due to tertiary studies while striker Mitch Lander has been rumoured to be returning to Seaford United. But it’s expected that the bulk of last season’s squad will attend pre-season training which gets underway officially on 4 December. CJ Hodgson and Graham Hill have been sounded out by other clubs with Mornington and Doveton keen on Hodgson while Hill has been linked with Brandon Park. Taylor is keen to retain them and has his sights on other signing targets. Langy midfielder Alex Whyte, 20, is one of them. “Alex is good with either foot, has good vision and is very composed,” Taylor said. “He can pick a pass and go long or short and he’s a good organiser. “He broke into Langy’s senior squad last season and came off the bench a few times.” It’s believed that Taylor also has an in-principle agreement with exPines keeper Alfonso Cardinale who switched to Heatherton United last season. Taylor is set to meet with other prospective signings in coming weeks but

won’t release their names yet. Former Skye United and Seaford United coach Paulo Pinheiro will coach Pines’ reserve squad next season. “Paulo was very keen to get back into coaching and he’s happy to work with the younger players,” Taylor said. Once Darren Roberts can resolve some work issues he’ll decide whether or not he can take up the offer of assisting Taylor. Pines also look like fielding a couple of junior teams next season. The club is likely to have an under15s team with the bulk of that squad coming from another local club. And the spill from last season’s under-11 program at Langwarrin looks likely to produce an under-12 squad for Pines in 2019. In NPL2 news Langwarrin announced on Sunday that it had signed striker David Stirton from Dandenong City. Stirton is a former Langy junior who has extensive experience at the elite level of Victorian soccer including spells with Oakleigh Cannons, Dandenong Thunder, Melbourne Victory, Southern Stars, Bentleigh Greens, South Melbourne and Port Melbourne. Langy announced last week that Ritchie May would be senior team manager for next season and Peter Tuckett would assist high performance manager Alistair Wallace. May was assistant coach and team manager of the under-20s last season while Tuckett first joined Langy as a player in 1977 and for many years now has been the club’s fitness coach. Former Peninsula Strikers and Frankston Pines midfielder Ben Millward is expected to be named shortly as the new strength and conditioning coach of Langy’s under-20s. In State 2 South-East news Peninsula Strikers’ boss Danny Verdun will hold a meet and greet night with current and prospective players at the club’s Centenary Park headquarters on Thursday at 6.30pm. Verdun has been arranging a raft of pre-season friendlies and signed off on the last one a few days ago. Strikers will host South Yarra on Saturday 16 February at 3pm and 5pm. In other news State 3 South-East outfit Skye United announced last weekend that Liam George had been reappointed for a fourth straight year to the reserves coaching post while local goalkeeping guru Peter Blasby will meet with Dandenong City head coach Zeljko Kuzman this week to discuss a specialist role at the club.

Hillier scores Australia’s first three-by-three silverware By Ben Triandafillou SOUTHERN Peninsula Sharks director of coaching, Gerard Hillier, has taken the Australian Youth Girls three-by-three team all the way to a bronze medal at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Thursday 18 October. The youth girls side, made up of Suzi-Rose Deegan, Sara-Rose Smith, Ruby Porter and Alexandra Fowler, secured Australia’s first piece of international silverware in three-by-three basketball with a 16-13 victory over top-ranked China in the bronze medal game. The Australian side entered the tournament which went for almost two weeks as the last women’s seed (20th) and sat at 36th in the world rankings prior to the competition. Despite their low ranking and entering the tournament as a wildcard, the youth girls played with a lot more quality than their ranking would suggest. In the group stage, the youth girls were victorious in three of their four matches, defeating the Netherlands (ranked fifth) 11-7, Czech Republic (ranked 17th) 15-11 and Estonia (ranked fourth) 19-15. They went on to comfortably defeat Ukraine (ranked second) 16-6 in the quarter finals before suffering an overtime loss to France (ranked sixth) 19-20 in the semi-final. The Aussies bounced back to defeat China in the bronze medal game and will now likely sky rocket their world ranking, having finished third overall

Bonbeach crowned aerobic champions By Ben Triandafillou BONBEACH Primary School returned from the Gold Coast with silver and gold medals from the School Aerobic National Championships on Saturday 25 August. It’s the second year that the school has had an aerobic team compete at the national level and this year the Bonbeach Bolts were crowned national champions in the team’s competition. Two of their members, sisters Tara and Grace Ash, also won silver in the pair’s event. The sisters performed their routine to a song of their choosing being Katy Perry’s ‘Fireworks’ and choreographed their own routine for the event. The Bolts team consisted of Stella King-Stemmer, Sienna Shead, Jasmin Scott, Tara Ash, Lily Parks, Kaitlyn Farr, Grace Ash and Tea Matic. Coached by Bonbeach Primary School teachers, Ms Mullavey and Ms Batson, the aerobics teams put in a lot of hard work throughout the year, having started their training in November last year. Bonbeach Primary School teacher and aerobics fundraiser, Sharon King, said a lot of effort was also put in by the girls to fund the trip. “The girls we have got at the moment did a fabulous job,” King said. “They raised all the funds to get there. They ran raffles, had BBQ’s outside of Safeway, and ran silent auctions to fund their trip. “They raised about $8,000 to go and they did the school very proud.”

King said the girls were “very dedicated” having trained twice a week starting at 7:30 in the morning as well as training during lunch times. It did come as a slight surprise to the teams, with one of the main chances that they believed would go close to winning it, finishing in third. But after a nervous wait the Bolts were crowned national champions with the “parents and kids bursting into tears of joy” following the announcement. The teams had a barbecue of their own to celebrate their victory.

adversity,” he said. “If we had to do it all over again, I couldn’t think of four better players to go back to battle with.” The exceptional run from the youth girls tops off a remarkable 12 months for the coach who has been dominat-

ing the women’s leagues with his various teams. Hillier coached the under-18s women’s side which won a bronze medal at the Australian Junior Championships; the under-16s women’s side which won a gold medal at the Basketball

Victoria Country Championships; the under-16s women’s side which were crowned champions in the Victorian Junior Basketball League; and the Sharks’ state championship women’s side which finished runners-up in the Big V competition.

Body builder keeping the streak alive AUSTRALIAN body builder and owner of Empire Fitness gym in Rosebud, Paul Jayilian, will be travelling to America to defend his WFF NABBA World Title on Saturday 3 November. Jayilian, 43, has been competing in the sport of body building since 2008, and has spent the past five years undefeated on the national and international circuit. The former kick boxer said he is super confident heading into this year’s world championships. “I think I’ve got it covered,” he said. “I’ve just had a slight change in diet and training heading into this year’s one but I’ve put on probably 6kgs. “From last November I was 80kgs with 3 per cent body fat and this year I will be about 86kgs with 3 per cent body fat.” The experienced body builder has competed in around 45 competitions since he started in 2008 and has shelved 45 trophies, having finished first or second in every competition he has entered, including the world-renowned Arnold Classic which he won in 2017. Despite being eligible to compete in the

over-40s Master’s competition, Jayilian said he won’t be contemplating the move into that division until the younger generation start to beat him. “I haven’t done that because there’s no real reason to,” he said. “I’m still taking on the younger guys and I’m still beating them so until they start beating me then I’ll stay here.” For some athletes, it can be difficult to work and train at the same time, but for Jayilian, he said his lifestyle has worked perfectly for him. “I like to push myself to the limit,” he said. “I do about an hour and a half to two hours a day of weight training and that’s six days a week. I take one day off.” “I own my own gym and opened up Empire Fitness in Rosebud in April, so I pretty much work here and train at the same time which is great for me.” Following on from the WFF NABBA World Title, Jayilian will also be contending the Arnold Classic again in Melbourne early next year.

Hunter aims for Peninsula Cup MORNINGTON-based trainer, Wez Hunter, will be out to keep his unbeaten run this season at Mornington alive, as his talented gelding Call It A Day lines up in the Peninsula Cup (1600m). Despite stepping up to the distance for the first time, Hunter is confident Call It A Day can keep the hot-streak going in the Peninsula Cup. “His record on his home track is really good, and he’s had three starts [this preparation] for two wins and a second,” he said. “He’ll drop to the minimum and it’ll be his first time at the mile, but his form around 1500m has been pretty solid so the trip

shouldn’t be an issue.” It’s been just over a year since Call It A Day fractured his hind leg in trackwork, but since reaching optimal fitness, Hunter believes his gelding has “come back bigger and better”. “It took him a bit to get right but now he’s back and racing to the potential that we thought he had,” he said. Hunter has been low-flying as of late, training three winners and a narrow second place-getter from his past five runners (at time of writing). Three of those runs were from the airborne Call It A Day. Hong Kong jockey Tommy Berry could also potentially be booked for the ride.

Bulls sign 1000 goal star

Building a record: Australian body builder Paul Jayilian continues on his winning ways. Picture: Supplied

By Brodie Cowburn KARINGAL Football Club have pulled off a huge coup by bringing former Cranbourne full-forward Marc Holt to the club. The signing is a huge deal for the Bulls, who were dumped from MPNFL Division Two finals this year in straight sets. The signing of Holt could prove the difference for the Bulls as they seek Division One promotion. The Bulls scored the least amount of points of all finals clubs in 2018, and will benefit from another avenue to goal. Holt made headlines at the end of this season when he booted his 1000th goal for the

Cranbourne Eagles. Cranbourne FC President Gerry Kelly had previously indicated he was hopeful that Holt would stay. The Eagles had their application to join the MPNFL rejected, and will now join the Yarra Ranges league. Between Marc Holt at Karingal and Brendan Fevola at his new club Hastings, there are sure to be plenty of goals kicked in Division 2 this season. Karingal will also kick off their 2019 campaign with a new coach at the helm. Brendan Dunne has been appointed.
