Pleas for parkland promise to be fulfilled

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

IN the leadup to its 2018 re-election the state government committed $25 million towards creating the “Sand belt Parklands”, a 355 hectare chain of parks running from Dingley Vil lage to Moorabbin. With the next election looming the project remains incomplete, and Kingston Council is pleading for the state government to

fulfill its promise.

Kingston Council is keen to see the chain of parks project completed. The project has taken a few hits in the last four years, none more damaging than the state government announc ing that land previously earmarked for the project in Heatherton would instead be used for suburban rail loop stabling.

Kingston mayor Steve Staikos says that council needs continued state government support for the project

to come to fruition. “Four years have passed, and we are yet to see what was promised to our community,” he said. “Council has done its part to make the plan a reality by investing millions at council-owned parks such as Spring Road Reserve in Dingley Village, Heatherton Park in Clayton South, Elder Street South Reserve in Clarinda and the soon to be opened Victory Road Reserve in Clayton South – now we need the state gov ernment to do their bit.”

Environment minister Lily D’Ambrosio was asked for an update on the progress of the project. She said “we’re delivering every prom ised hectare of the Chain of Parks355 hectares of protected community parkland running from Moorabbin to Dingley Village for local families to enjoy.”

The state government has begun the process of acquiring the remaining land for the project within the public acquisition overlay. The Department

of Land, Water, and Planning web site reads that the state government is “working with key partners, stake holders, Traditional Owners and the community to develop the vision for Sandbelt Parklands”, and that com munity consultation will take place late this year.

Kingston Council wants to see both the Delta landfill site and land on Henry Street in Heatherton purchased for the chain of parks.

State government promises playground spending

THE state government will spend $1.3 million on a new playground at Sandfield Reserve in Carrum Downs if it wins the November election.

Premier Daniel Andrews visited the Carrum Downs park to make the announcement last week, 28 September. He said that “sport and recreation are the lifeblood of com

munities like those in Carrum.”

“Facilities such as this bring peo ple together and add to the fabric of what makes a great community,” Andrews said.

Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said that the upgrade would “provide so many more opportunities for families to get together, close to home, so our kids can play, learn

and develop social skills.”

“This is a wonderful project and another great example of all three levels of government working to gether to deliver great facilities for local families,” she said.

The federal government and Frankston Council have each com mitted $1.3 million to the project.

Opposition pledges money for chain of parks

The announcement that the former Delta landfill site in Heatherton would be used for SRL train sta bling instead of the chain of parks devastated sup porters of the park project. An advisory committee report assessing the rail loop released earlier this year read that the state government should only pro ceed with building train stabling at the Heatherton site “if a suitable replacement site for public open space can be found” (“Chain of parks site must be replaced” The News 17/8/22).

Kingston councillor Tracey Davies has also called on the state government to take action. “It’s time for the environment minister to make good on the chain of parks promise and purchase the remaining sites to create the chain of parks once and for all. We’ve been talking and planning for decades but enough is enough, it’s time for action now,” she said.

Last week the state opposition pledged $20 mil lion to the Sandbelt Parkland project. It has prom ised to shelve the suburban rail loop and preserve the Heatherton site. Opposition leader Matthew Guy says “once Labor has destroyed these park lands, they will be gone forever. Our real solution will back Kingston Council to protect this parkland once and for all.”

In a statement, community group Move The Train Yard expressed its joy at the announcement. “The Heatherton and Clarinda communities have lived with decades of noise, smells, and dust from the sand mining and landfills in the area, in the promise that the site would become part of the Green Wedge Sandbelt Chain of Parks. The [opposition’s] fund ing will help realise the 30 year promise by state and local governments, embedded in Melbourne’s strategic plan to provide parks and sporting fields to service a growing city,” the statement read.

“We are so happy that someone is finally deliver ing on a 30 year promise to give Melbourne a won derful green wedge full of parks and sporting fields – and protect us from 13 years of construction noise, dust, heavy trucks, tunnelling and stockpiling.”

Drugs found Police patrol with Brodie Cowburn

TWO raids at properties in Keysborough and Clyde North have resulted in the seizure of 52 kilograms of pseudoephedrine and one kilogram of methylamphetamine.

The raids took place just after 5pm on 29 Sep tember. Police allege the seized materials could have been used to manufacture around 37kg of methylamphetamine.

Police later made a series of arrests in connection to the raids. Two men were arrested at Melbourne Airport on 29 September - a 36-year-old Clyde man was charged with two counts of traffick large commercial quantity, and a 34-year-old Clyde man was charged with traffick large commercial quan tity. They allegedly had $20,000 in cash on them.

A 26-year-old Cranbourne East man was also ar rested, and released. He is expected to be charged on summons. A 40-year-old Dandenong man was released pending further enquiries.

Victoria Police clandestine laboratory squad detective inspector Anthony Vella said the seizure was “significant” and “one that highlights the ability of Victoria Police and the Australian Border Force to intercept precursor chemicals before they are used in the manufacture of illicit drugs.”

“These arrests should serve as a sobering reminder to those facilitating the manufacture of illicit drugs, that police will actively target you.

There may be a perception drugs can be easily concealed, however we have seen time and time again the ability of police and the Australian Border Force to detect and seize these substances,” he said. “We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to target those involved in the manufacture and trafficking of illicit drugs and hold them to account.”

The two people arrested at Melbourne Airport were remanded and will appear at Melbourne Magistrates Court on 19 January, 2023.

Police allege the driver didn’t stop and continued along Moorooduc Highway onto Wooralla Drive, where the car crashed and rolled.

A 16-year-old boy from Ascot Vale was arrested. Police allege he was driving. A 16-yearold boy from Frankston was also arrested. They were both taken to hospital under police guard.

Live, eat, and play in the Whitsundays

A new state of the art multi-milliondollar marina resort is gearing up to transform the gateway to the Whitsundays into a world-class tourism and leisure destination.

The $350 million Shute Harbour Marina Resort will be the first major resort development to grace the Whitsundays in over a decade.

Construction on Shute Harbour Marina Resort is scheduled to begin next year to create a world-class waterfront lifestyle for residents and tourists alike, positioned on a vibrant marine village and complemented by a 395-berth marina.

Set against the stunning natural backdrop of Mt Rooper and the Conway Conservation Park, Shute Harbour Marina Resort is destined to become the region’s go-to precinct to live, eat, and play with its entirety set to be linked by public boardwalks, lookout spaces, plenty of seating, restaurants, and retail outlets.

It is this lifestyle that takes Shute Harbour’s master plan to a completely new level, along with 58 waterfront terrace homes to take shape along the esplanade, each with their own private berths ranging from 25 to 35 metres.

The two & three-storey Terrace Homes have been designed to the highest specifications with every luxury and convenience considered to offer a luxury tropical lifestyle that is second to none.

“The residences are the ultimate immersive experience with endless views of the marina and the idyllic Whitsundays waters at your doorstep,” said Rob Taylor of Taylors Property Specialists.

“Residents can wander straight from their bedroom down to their private marina berth, taking to the water to explore everything the stunning coastline and Whitsunday islands have to offer, or taking a stroll to the diverse array of proposed cafes, restaurants and retail nearby at Pier 61 marine village.”

With these lifestyle considerations key components of the master plan, it is no wonder why Shute Harbour Marina Resort has continued to be

Adding, “We are really grateful to everyone that has got on-board and supported this event. There’s a boat show starved community out there, and a huge appetite for leisure, lifestyle and boating. We are anticipating a great return to boat shows and are really looking forward to delivering this show”.

The event will run over four spectacular days, from Thursday 20 Oct, 3pm-7pm, Friday 21 Oct and Saturday 22 Oct, 10am-7pm through to Sunday 23 Oct, 10am-4pm.

inundated with enquiries since stage one’s stellar launch to market, which achieved over $25 million in sales contracts and over 1000 enquiries.

“The immediate and continued market response to the resort has been incredible. We knew we had something special on our hands here, but we have been simply inundated with genuine interest – it’s been a whirlwind,” said Rob Taylor of Taylors Property Specialists.

“Many purchasers are boating

enthusiasts who recognise the rarity and value in Shute Harbour as a premier berth location and are tempted by the irresistible approach to living that it offers.”

With a critical shortage of marina berths and waterfront homesites in the Whitsundays, Mr. Taylor says the timing for Shute Harbour Marina Resort could not be better.

“There are limited vacant waterfront lots currently available in the area, and many of these are not

located within or close to a marina development,” said Mr. Taylor.

“Not only are we creating an exceptional new lifestyle destination, but we are also supporting the marine industry which is vital to the tourism economy in the north.”

Once complete, Shute Harbour Marina Resort will deliver a total of 395 wet berths ranging from 10 to 35 metres, with larger berths of between 25 and 35 metres available in Waterfront Terrace Homes packages.

Cash commitment for sports site

THE state opposition will spend $2 million on improvements at Le Page Park if it wins next month’s election.

A new pavilion at the Cheltenham sports ground opened this year. The facility, for the Cheltenham Pan thers Junior Football Club and Le Page Park Panthers Cricket Club, cost the state government $125,000

and Kingston Council $500,000.

The state opposition says it will spend the money on another new pavilion for Le Page Tennis Club and other community groups.

Future redevelopment of the site would include the reconstruction of six tennis courts, a floodlit multisport hardcourt area for netball, tennis, basketball, and futsal, and

an “active recreation” zone for bik ing, fitness, and climbing.

The Liberals’ Bentleigh candidate Debbie Taylor-Haynes said “there is a distinct lack of sporting facili ties in Cheltenham, and the current facilities at Le Page Park are age ing and quickly being considered sub-standard compared to other precincts in neighbouring suburbs.”

Surprise is a Shaw thing

Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au

FORMER Liberal party MP Geoff Shaw, while not accepting full responsibility, does admit to being “probably the straw that broke the camel’s back” when it came to the resignation of then Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu.

But, nearly a decade later, Shaw would clearly like to be credited with the downfall of the current Premier Daniel Andrews.

The MP for Frankston from 2010 to 2014, Shaw was elected a Liberal but ended his controversial time in parliament sitting on the crossbenches.

Now, after years away from the public side of politics, he is about to make a comeback: firstly, as the author of the unashamedly anti-Andrews book Unmasked and, secondly, as a candidate for the United Australia Party in the November state election.

His bid to return to parliament, this time in the Upper House, is expected to be announced this week.

On Sunday (2 October) the closest he would get to acknowledging a position with the UAP was to say, “it’s on the cards, I reckon I’m in”. Shaw said he had “put in an application” to be one of UAP’s 16 upper house candidates.

Now 54, Shaw says his election “theme”, if chosen to contest Northern Victoria, would be Hope for Victoria.

“It covers 44 per cent of the state but has been really neglected. The country has been left out of the [government’s] narrative.”

Even though Shaw says the demise of Baillieu, who was succeeded as premier by Denis Napthine, “is quite a while ago now”, he makes no such reservations when describing the rise and rise of Andrews in the Labor Party.

Six of the chapters in Unmasked have “Dan” in the title, from Decisive Dan (chapter 1) to Defeated Dan (chapter 23). All the other chapters start with the letter D.

He mentions that his social posts, which included published news articles, attracted

more than 100,000 hits and the attention of the police, state government, defence ministry and premier’s department. “I criticised, but made no personal attacks,” he says.

Shaw says his wife Bianca suggested he write a book while enduring Victoria’s world record COVID lockdowns. He also mentions the state recorded 38 per cent of COVID-related deaths in Australia while housing 25 per cent of the country’s population.

The promotional blurb accompanying Unmasked offers that the media, and Shaw’s “political foes”, have described him as a “rogue, rorter, rebel, and maverick; businessman, accountant, and former politician”.

Although charged in September 2013 with obtaining financial benefit by deception and one charge of misconduct in public office (mainly over the use of his parliamentary car) the Department of Public Prosecutions announced three months later that the charges had been dropped.

Shaw says there was no love lost between himself and then opposition leader Andrews, who publicly said he wanted Shaw “out of the Victorian parliament”.

Six years later Shaw says he was “just one of the millions of Victorians who suffered unprecedented governance of drastic, and stringent laws throughout the COVID-19 pandemic at the hands of now Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews”.

"If he gets voted back I, along with many others, will be exceptionally disappointed and I believe as a result we will see even more damage to the once great State of Victoria precipitating a mass exodus”.

Shaw says the words for Unmasked “just came flowing” during the lockdowns, three to four hours a day for about five months.

While he did not speak to Andrews, the premier’s actions and daily press releases “needed to be recorded - the title Unmasked just came to me, as it’s exposing him and his policies”.

Unmasked by Geoff Shaw can be bought online at danandrewsunmasked.com.au for $34.95 a hard copy or $24.95 for the e-book version.

Gambling inquiry begins

AN inquiry into the impacts of online gambling has been launched.

Dunkley MP Peta Murphy chairs the House of Representatives’ stand ing committee on social policy and legal affairs. The committee is seek ing submissions on online gambling and the impacts it can have on prob lem gamblers.

Murphy says that the committee’s inquiry will “be a fresh look at online gambling and whether current laws, regulations, consumer protections and education and support programs are enough to reduce harm to gam blers.”

“The committee is concerned about the increasing reach of online gam bling platforms into Australians’ lives, the exposure of children and young people to gambling advertis ing and how this may contribute to increases in problem gambling in the future,” Murphy said.

The Department of Social Services reports that online gambling is the fastest growing method of gambling in Australia. A survey conducted this year estimated that one in ten Austral ians had gambled online in the last six months.

The inquiry will probe existing consumer protections, programs to address online problem gambling, the effectiveness of current counsel ling and support services, current regulatory and licensing regimes, the definition of “gambling service” in the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, emerging technologies, illegal online gambling services, and advertising restrictions.

Submissions to the online gambling inquiry can be made until 11 Novem ber.

Overcome the challenge of stairs by future-proofing your home

STAIRS are the most common place for accidents to occur in the home and falls from stairs can have serious consequences. Faced with this challenge, many people feel their only choice is to move to a single-level home.

If you are going to enjoy your retirement, then you need to address the issue of the stairs; whether it is carrying groceries or wood up-stairs, struggling to walk down them yourself, or whether friends and family find them so hard to navigate that they no longer visit.

However, when you go to look for single-story homes, you may find that they are rare or expensive or just do not have the view. And besides, why lose all that money moving if you can stay safely in your home?

Australian RESiLIFT® inventor, Peter van Emmerik, conceived the first ‘through-floor’ residential lift because he wanted to empower people to stay in their home as they aged. He wanted to design a lift that was able to be installed into existing homes at an affordable price.

Peter’s award-winning lift has been replicated across the globe. His ground-breaking shaft less design was patented and has been the inspiration for many residential elevators. “I designed this lift so people could stay safely in the home they love,” says Peter. “It saves

time, effort and money that would otherwise be wasted moving home. It also removes the emotional anguish of being uprooted from your family home.”

Without a doubt, installing a RESiLIFT® enables people to stay in their two story or split-level home without the limitations and dangers of stairs “It’s such a relief! Now I know we can stay in our home! We love it!” says Margot Ling who installed a RESiLIFT® a few years ago.  She said, “We love the area,

we love living here, why would we move?!”

RESiLIFT® is not only an affordable solution, it’s a smart choice. The RESiLIFT® can be retrofitted into existing homes with minimal hassle. It can also be easily installed in new builds.

Many people on the Peninsula install the RESiLIFT® in their holiday houses as they prepare for their sea change.

Despite its very small footprint, RESiLIFT® still fits two people. There are three different sizes

available, some models can accommodate walkers and even wheelchairs.

RESiLIFT® has truly been a ‘lifesaver’ in many people’s homes.

With the potential upheaval of an unexpected diagnosis, injury or surgery, it’s good to know that at least the challenge of stairs is removed.

One customer initially installed the lift for when their elderly parent visited, but it later helped when their grandchild developed mobility issues.

For many customers who are still agile and mobile, the lift may just be used for carrying loads of washing, suitcases or groceries. This is much safer than carrying these items on the stairs and will help them stay fit enough to enjoy the rest of their retirement.

Installing a residential lift in your home is enables you to stay in the home your love. For more information, videos and testimonials visit www.resilift.com.au.

After a two-year hiatus thanks to the pesky worldwide medical emergency that rhymes with “bovid”, this fun-filled talent show is returning with its long-awaited ninth season. The most exciting part is the arrival of fresh talent on the judging panel. Along with returning judge Shane Jacobson and host RickiLee Coulter, veteran critics David Walliams and Alesha Dixon have been exported from the British series. Homegrown radio and soapie star Kate Ritchie fills out the impressive new panel. With $100,000 and the performers’ pride on the line, expect the unexpected.

MONDAY MIRROR MIRROR

TEN, 7.30pm

After exploring the confronting, unregulated world of cosmetic surgery and society’s obsession with looking perfect, unflappable Todd Sampson (pictured) turns his penetrating gaze to the pitfalls of the internet. In this new investigation airing over two nights, Sampson examines how the internet is altering the way we think, how our brains are wired, and how we live our lives, with a particular focus on the ways this information highway is potentially derailing children. From influencer culture to conspiracy theories, Sampson delivers a compelling investigation which plays out something like a horror story.

the benchmark for quality touring and customer service.

The O’Shannessy’s Quality Tours concept started in the 80’s with Laurie and Margaret O’Shannessy towing their kitchen trailer behind their Denning coach. Margaret would produce delicious egg and bacon breakfasts for their intrepid travellers and Laurie would share his passion and knowledge of the Australian landscape. They would traverse the length and breadth of our beautiful outback with their passengers. It is now 2022 and Laurie’s son Chris O’Shannessy and his wife Bernadette are still running the business out of their Rye office, ably assisted by a third generation of O’Shannessy family. All four of their children, Josie, Liam, Toby and Casey have worked in the Rye office or as Tour Directors on tour, ensuring the best experience for all passengers.

Man and Superman and Supermarket – the Tissue Issue

By Stuart McCullough

the alarm went off, I began to suspect something was wrong. Queuing up at my lo cal supermarket is something I’ve done many, many times before. Mostly without incident. The closest thing to an altercation I’ve ever experi enced is when the person serving at the check out informed me they were fresh out of ‘ooshies’ while standing in front of an extremely large pile of ‘ooshies’. I don’t really even know what an ‘ooshie’ is or whether you should treat it with a pill or an ointment; I only knew I had to secure the ooshies that were rightfully mine. But that squabble was merely a close shave. Now I was in deep.

As security staff formed a half circle, one of whom was holding a net, I started to panic. Scan ning the exits for an escape route, I momentarily considered taking a lettuce hostage, in the vain hope that they might reconsider and lettuce go, but it quickly became obvious that I was a goner. I would be captured, I would be humiliated and I would be punished. I could feel their hands grab bing me as I tried to wriggle free. My crime was as unforgivable as it was obvious – I had fool ishly attempted to buy a third box of tissues.

Do you ever feel as if you’ve missed a meeting? A really important meeting at which everyone else has been given vital information – probably through a PowerPoint presentation or similar? As a result, everybody else on the face of the planet knows something you don’t. In this case, I was blissfully unaware that there were limits on how many boxes of tissues you could purchase at any one time and that these limits were strictly en forced with any attempt to violate them inviting retribution of an almost Biblical variety.

I’m not sure how I missed this seemingly es sential piece of information. Whether I’d blocked it out and had simply failed to pay attention I couldn’t say; but while ignorance may certainly be bliss, it does nothing to get you an extra box of tissues. Instead of a box of super soft two-ply fa

cial tissues, I was now being offered a very large quantity of ignominy.

It had all been going so well until things turned well and truly sour. The person at the checkout was in the middle of scanning my groceries when a look of disgust took her face hostage and de manded a sizable ransom. ‘I’m sorry,’ she said, while sounding anything but sorry, ‘you can only have two boxes of tissues at a time.’ Those form ing a queue behind me all inhaled at once from shock. I could tell my fellow shoppers were an gry. I began to fear for my safety when one of

them was heard to ask a staff member which aisle they’d find ‘tar’ and ‘feathers’ in.

Caught unawares, I was forced to make a choice between defiance and acceptance. I could either demand to know by what earthly authority this seemingly arbitrary limit had been imposed or I could simply accept my fate and mumble an apology before departing the store accompanied by both my groceries and my shame. I considered the former. I chose the latter.

As I clutched at the handles of my shopping bags, I was informed that my picture would be

kept on file as a reference, lest I should lose my senses and decide to try again. I would not, under any circumstances, be permitted to buy any more tissues. Possibly ever. My tissue privileges were to be revoked.

Having overlooked this apparently signifi cant new limit with respect to Kleenex, I began to wonder what else I’d missed. It seems likely that every time I leave the house from this point, there’s a chance that I might violate some new rule and end up tearing a dirty big hole in the so cial fabric as a result. For shame! Nobody wants to be the one who ruins it for everyone else. I am now plagued with doubt. Normally, I only feel this uncertain on bin night (is it recycle week or garden waste week? I’m forever relying on my neighbours to get it right – I’ve no idea).

Just as when you break wind in an elevator, people are slow to forgive you when you attempt to buy an extra box of tissues. I should count my self lucky that they left me to store security and didn’t call the authorities. No one wants to be taken in for questioning by the officers of Tissue Squad. Who knows what the penalties would be in the event they felt that prosecution was war ranted. It would be ironic, I feel, if I were sen tenced to hard to time for a box of extra soft tis sues. Doubtless, as the judge handed down my punishment and I would weep uncontrollably, only to be denied access to the tissues I so sorely needed. Oh the humanity.

I left the supermarket before things could get any worse. If that’s what they do for tissues, goodness knows what happens if you try and secure additional supplies of milk. It’s a funny, mixed up world. One that’s still recovering from a gigantic shock. For now, I’ll make do with the tissues I have and, should the worst happen and I should catch a cold and run out, make do with old newspapers and slow moving pets. But, for now, let me say to you – cherish your tissues. You never know when you might need them.

Keeping it dark – Cr. Gray tries to get light

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

AT yesterday’s Council meeting the Shire Secretary (Mr. John E. Jones)

read the following telegram from the Minister of Lands in connection with the High School movement:–“Minister of Lands will visit Frankston tomorrow (Wednesday), arriving cricket reserve 11 o’clock, and desires meet one representative Shire and Mr. McComb for opposi tion.” (Dated, September 19).

Cr Gray asked if the report which appeared in “The Standard” regard ing the recent visit was correct, as he noticed that other names were given of people present besides those mentioned in “The. Standard.”

Cr. Mason said he was shown the telegram in question, and when asked to represent the Council he re spected the Minister’s wish. He had no idea in the world how the other people got there.

Cr. Wells: What was the Minister’s opinion re the other site inspected ?

Cr. Mason: He thought it too far from the railway station. He said he would confer with Sir Alexander Peacock and see if three or four acres of the old cricket ground could not be set aside for the school.

The Secretary said it looked from the report in “The Standard” that he gave out the information. He interviewed Cr. Mason and then he took the telegram to Mr. McComb. He objected to the statement in “The Standard” that the “tail was wagging the dog.” (Laughter).

Cr. Oates: I was present, and I make no apology for being there. Mr. McComb received a telegram apart

from the one sent to the Secretary.

Mr. McComb came to me and asked if I would be in attendance. No one had more right to be present than I, seeing that I had to fight the elec tion and was made to look small at the deputation. The election showed the Minister I had a majority.

Cr. Gray said that what he took ob jection to was that one side received all the information, while the other side received none. There was one man who should have been there and that was Mr. Ward, Secretary of the Peninsula Schools’ Association.

Cr. May: Hear, hear!

Cr. Gray: If the wish expressed in the telegram was observed by one side it should have been respected by the other side Cr. Wells should have been there.

He was not asking Cr. Oates to make any apology. He took it that Cr. Mason was quite a suitable man to represent the Council, but he would have preferred that the Minister had nominated Cr. Oates to represent the other side rather than Mr. McComb .

He did not know what was in the telegram received by Mr. McComb. The fact remained that the people who met the Minister had all taken an active part in the opposition.

Cr. Oates said he had not seen Mr. McComb’s telegram, and, in the absence of the telegram, he could not say whether Mr. McComb had acted within his rights or not.

A lot of people were wondering why certain people were notified of the visit.

The Secretary evidently did no more than his duty.

TIME OR PERMANENT PART TIME POSITION AVAILABLE

Cr. Longmuir said the discussion would clear the Secretary.

Cr. McCulloch said the Secretary was not to blame. He was sorry, however, that the Minister had resolved to see only one from either side. He considered Mr. Ward should have been present as secretary of the Peninsula Schools Association.

He (Cr. McCulloch) took it as an honor that he had been chiefly instrumental in forming the Schools Association, and was the first to advocate a High School.

Cr. May: Could the Secretary ven ture an opinion why Mr. McComb received a telegram?

The Secretary: No, I cannot.

The matter then closed.

Orritt makes way for McPhee

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

SAMMY Orritt has been released by Langwarrin to free up a visa spot for Scottish striker Archie McPhee.

And the Lawton Park club has also agreed terms with goalkeeper James Burgess from Northcote City and de fender Charlie Fry from Kingston City.

While the decision to release Orritt may surprise some after his consistent displays last season it didn’t surprise the talented Englishman.

“I don’t think it’s a secret they need to score more goals and they wanted to use the visa on a number nine which is fair enough.

“There’s no hard feelings. You’re not going to keep a right back if you need a visa spot.”

Langwarrin’s other visa spots are held by captain Rogan McGeorge and Tommy Youngs.

Orritt is on the threshold of being granted permanent residency and Langy has left the door open for his return should his immigration status change.

Winning McPhee’s signature has been huge given the interest the striker created after his first season in Australia.

The 29-year-old former Forfar, Ross County and Elgin City player was joint leading scorer in NPL3 last season having been brought to Melbourne by Nunawading City.

He scored 14 goals in 20 appearances tying for the league top scorer honours with Connor Bell of Preston Lions and Langwarrin had to fend off interest from other clubs.

“I spoke to Greg (Kilner, main spon sor) first of all then I spoke to Scott Miller the gaffer who came across re ally well and sold the club to me,” McPhee said.

“I also spoke to a couple of players who had played for Langwarrin and they spoke highly of the club so it was an easy decision to make.

“I’ve looked at the (match) highlights and the squad of players and as a col lective there’s no reason why we can’t challenge for promotion – that’s the aim anyway.”

Goalkeeper Burgess, 22, returns to Lawton Park after signing with Langy from Springvale White Eagles in 2020 before joining South Melbourne then Northcote while Fry, 24, lists Eastern Lions and Bentleigh Greens on his CV. He switched from Eastern Lions to Kingston in July.

Langy has moved quickly to re-sign most of last season’s squad with Jaid en Madafferi, Simon Storey, Jeremy Min Fa, Lucas Portelli, Cal Goulding, McGeorge, Marcus Di Meo, Jacob Bri to, Youngs, Kieran Dover, James Kelly,

Mawien Nielo, Lenny Gregory and Brad Chick all agreeing terms.

Teenage keeper Nathan Lynders is believed to be on Bentleigh Greens’ radar as Greens under-21s coach Craig Smart rates the youngster highly.

Langy remains active on the transfer front so expect more arrivals.

It’s believed that one of its targets is an attacking midfielder from an NPL2 rival.

The big news in State 2 is the sign ing of 23-year-old Hayley Richmond as the inaugural player-coach of Frankston Pines’ new senior women’s team.

Clinching Richmond’s signature is a massive coup for the Monterey Reserve outfit.

The 23-year-old represented Victoria as a junior and is a former Young Matil da having played for the national youth team in Myanmar and China.

Her club career is equally impressive involving stints at Box Hill, Melbourne City, Bulleen, South Melbourne and Casey Comets.

Pines has applied for a Women’s State

Sudoku and crossword solutions

League position and is confident of be ing accepted.

So the young woman who a few years ago played for her country and looked to have a professional career within her grasp now finds herself tasked with de veloping a women’s program at a com munity club.

“When other things became more im portant in my life I went back to the ba sics and started enjoying football again rather than it being so stressful and I en joy teaching others as well,” Richmond said.

University and her relationship with Pines left back Christian Malgioglio played major roles in her decision.

She has a degree in physical educa tion and sport science and will marry Malgioglio in December.

Richmond already has a number of signing targets and will hold her first training session on Thursday 24 No vember.

Her father Damian is assistant coach.

News of Richmond’s appointment follows hot on the heels of a number

of key re-signings in Pines’ men’s pro gram making a mockery of rumours of a pending player exodus.

Dylan Waugh, Cal Batey, Jordan “Caka” Avraham, Joey O’Connor, Mal gioglio, Marinos Panayi, Keegan Gre aly, Alex Bevacqua, Kevin Brown and Logan Johnston all have committed to Pines for next season and head coach Trevor Johnston will meet with striker Aaran Currie this week aiming to resign him.

Meanwhile Pines’ State 2 rival Skye United will have a planning meet ing this week where head coach Phil McGuinness hopes to identify specific signing targets.

McGuinness also is zeroing in on his squad’s pre-season preparation.

“We had more than our fair share of injuries this year so one major part for us is getting the players ready for a full season,” McGuinness said.

“We had one of the best defences in the league but we never started the same team two weeks in a row so we need to get that right.”

In State 4 news midfielder Dylan Scott has rejoined the senior squad at Chelsea.

The former Mornington player had to return to England last season for visa reasons but Chelsea gaffer Carlo Meli no is pleased that he’s back.

“He’s the cousin of our vice-captain Connor Scott and when he was with us in 2019 he only played half a season but almost won our player of the year,” Melino said.

“He can play as a central defender but I’ve used him in midfield so I have a few options with him.”

In other news Football Victoria re leased the results of the best and fair est and top goalscorer awards in State Leagues last week.

The only local winner was Aspend ale’s Lily Smith who dominated Wom en’s State 4 South winning the league best and fairest by nine votes from teammate Bonnie Carmichael and also winning the league’s top scorer honours with 36 goals, eight more than Baxter’s Sarah Hutcherson.
