Support gathers for Dingley golf course Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE number of submissions from people hoping to save Kingswood Golf Course in Dingley from being turned into housing has surpassed 8000. The charge to save the course from being subdivided into lots is being run by the Save Kingswood Group, which has been rallying to prevent the development for the last three years. “The course is in the centre of Dingley Village and it’s the only big tree parkland we have. This development could easily flood out Dingley Village more than it does already, and traffic, infrastructure, and services are barely keeping up at the moment. They certainly wouldn’t

be able to cater for another 1000 small units. We do love the green nature at Dingley Village and it’s just sacrilege to bulldoze it,” Save Kingswood Group Secretary Kevin Poulter said. The cut off point to submit the objections was 30 August, and the Save Kingswood Group has now submitted them to Kingston council offices. Plans have been touted since 2015 to redistribute the land and turn it into housing. The project’s senior development manager Anna Martiniello outlined the plan for the course to The News earlier in the year. “We are proposing a master-planned residential community, with 760 individual lots. The development will include a mixture of low-density and medium-density housing, more than

14.6 percent of the site dedicated to usable open space, flood retention works for some 62,000m3 of stormwater, more than five times the statutory requirement, a financial contribution to council of $7525 per dwelling, and a dedicated financial contribution towards affordable housing,” she said (“Homes plan on course”, The News 25/7/18). The Dingley Golf Course land was bought by fund manager ISPT for $125 million in 2014. On 27 August Kingston Council debated whether they were ready to prepare a feedback report for the land’s planning scheme amendment for their September meeting, but that was voted down. Cr Barth said that consulting all stakeholders and preparing the report is “too significant a task for it to be rushed”

given the large number of submissions. This delays any decision on the future of the course until later in the year. A summary of community feedback is an aspect of that planned report. Member for Isaacs Mark Dreyfus MP has publicly flagged his opposition to the plan to turn the 53 hectare space into housing. Mr Dreyfus has recently been knocking on doors to signal his concerns to residents in the Dingley area. “Dingley Village is a fantastic community, but it has limited public transport options and the proposed development of Peninsula Kingswood Golf Club would clearly create significant road congestion and change the village feel of the community,” he said. “I’ve met with members of the Save Kingswood group and spoken to many

Dingley Village residents about this matter. It is clear to me that this proposed development is not right for Dingley Village and the planning scheme amendment application should be rejected. “Developers should not assume that when they buy special use-zoned land it will be re-zoned as a formality. That is not how planning should work. This is a fight that can be won. I have made a submission to council opposing this proposed planning scheme amendment and I encourage Dingley Village residents to do the same. “The community feel of Dingley Village matters. This development should be rejected and the land retained for open space for generations to come.

Cambodian connection in Mordialloc Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au LOCAL business owner Julia Renaud will be trekking a long way from home when she travels to Cambodia in October to help run workshops for disadvantaged teens. Ms Renaut will be travelling to help out at Sunrise Cambodia, an orphanage run by Order of Australia recipient Geraldine Cox. Ms Renaut said she is travelling with a group called project Gen Z to help young people find their feet and build financial independence. “We are going specifically to run workshops with 15-22 year olds on how to set up their own business and become self sufficient. Being a business owner, I like that we will be teaching them business skills so they can really make a go of their own lives,” she said. The cause of helping out in Cambodia is one that is close to Ms Renaud, given her close family ties to the area. “This is personal for me because my mother was born in Cambodia and I was raised with three Cambodian orphans in the family. My adopted sister Phuong Roden is a Cambodian orphan herself and she’ll be helping me with the fundraising event,” Ms Renaud said. Ms Renaud has paid her own expenses and will be holding a fundraiser at The Bay Mordialloc with 100% of the funds going to the children at Sunrise Cambodia. Musical act Jimmi Hocking will be among the guests at the fundraiser, which will kick off at 5pm on 16 September. For more information or to get tickets, email Julia Renaud at info@ juliarenaud.com.

First stop Frankston line for underground rail project

Watch out for waterway works

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

DREDGING works will commence this week around the entrance of Mordialloc Creek in order to provide safer access for boats. Parks Victoria, who will be carrying out the works, said that maintenance dredging will help combat natural sand build-up which has created a hazard for recreational and commercial boat operators. “The works form part of Parks Victoria’s ongoing maintenance dredging program to ensure the continuation of safe boating access within Port Phillip and Western Port,” Parks Victoria Local Ports and Waterways Senior Manager, Victor Teoh said. “The dredged material is predominantly sand and will be placed on shore south of Mordialloc Creek, as a replication of the natural coastal processes and improvement to recreational amenity. While the dredged sand may look and smell mildly unpleasant when it first comes out of the water, after a few days exposure to the air and sun, the sand will bleach to the normal colour and lose the odour.” Vessel operators are advised to exercise caution during the dredging process and are also reminded to observe the 5 knot speed limit in the vicinity of the dredge. Maintenance dredging last took place at Moridalloc Creek in June 2018. The process is expected to last up to five days. For more information about the dredging at Mordialloc Creek, call Parks Victoria on 13 1963 or visitwww.parks.vic.gov.au

AN underground rail project announced by the Andrews Labor Government is set to connect the Frankston train line to nine other lines in the outer suburbs. Cheltenham Station on the Frankston Line will be the first stop on the new network, known as the Suburban Rail Loop. From Cheltenham, passengers will be able to travel directly to stations in Clayton, Monash, Glen Waverley, Burwood. The line will reach as far as Melbourne Airport and Werribee. The new network will feature a total of 12 stops, with works on the Frankston line section projected to begin in 2022. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said that the new line is necessary to connect commuters in the south east to work opportunities across the outer suburbs. “We’ve already been removing level crossings and building big road and train tunnels, and now we are delivering the biggest investment in public transport in Australia’s history. Suburban Rail Loop is the underground metro that our community needs to make it easier to get to employment centres, travel to the airport, and access world-class universities, TAFEs and hospitals and retail centres in our suburbs,” she said. “The priority section for delivery is right here in the south-east of Melbourne, and only an Andrews Labor Government will get working on this

bold new vision for Victoria by the end of 2022.” Premier Daniel Andrews said that the project would help congestion on both the train lines and the roads. “It’s not good enough to extend the congestion, we need a plan that doesn’t just force more cars and commuters into the city. The Suburban Rail Loop will get people to where they want to go – and more people on public transport means less traffic on the road for you,” he said.

“Labor will invest $300 million in a full business case, design, and preconstruction works, with work on the first section in Melbourne’s south east expected to begin by the end of 2022.” Early estimates suggest the project will cost $50 billion. Shadow Treasurer Michael O’Brien suggested that the project should have been sent in Infrastructure Victoria for “proper assessment and planning” before the announcement was made. “The Liberal Nationals support new

road and rail infrastructure which is why this suburban rail proposal should be sent to Infrastructure Victoria for proper assessment and planning. At the moment, the Andrews Labor Government can’t say how much it will cost or if there will be new taxes to fund it. The devil is in the detail which is why this idea needs to be sent to Infrastructure Victoria for proper assessment, costing and planning,” he said. The project is not expected to be completed entirely until 2050.

EVENT PARTNERS:

THE Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League has backflipped on comments made two weeks ago about their scheduling difficulties for the junior footy finals series. MPJFL senior vice president Paul Lonsdale said that fixturing finals had been difficult because Mt Eliza had “shot us down” and that the league would make every effort to get games scheduled on Sundays next year (“Sports’ fixtures creates finals fiasco”, The Times, 13/8/18). Those comments have now been taken back in a statement provided by the league to The Times. “The MPJFL Executive team did not ask or discuss with Mt Eliza the possibility of hosting finals this season and Mt Eliza did not shoot us down,” the statement said. “The Mt Eliza Junior Football Club have been fantastic in their support of the MPJFL and have recently allowed us to use their ground for the under 10s carnival this season after we struggled to find a suitable ground.” Mt Eliza Junior Football Club president Brett Macpherson confirmed that the original comments made by the MPJFL were misleading, and that the club had received no approach from the league to host finals matches. “They didn’t approach me. Nobody that I’ve spoken to from the junior club has been approached,” he said. Macpherson said the club “would definitely

have sat down to have a chat to them” if the league had approached them about hosting junior finals game on their three ovals at Emil Madsen Reserve. The venue is not currently hosting seniors’ finals games. The league also said in their statement that “the MPJFL and their clubs passed bylaws in March 2018 that stated that the MPJFL can schedule games on Friday night, Saturdays, Saturday nights, and Sundays as well as mid week due to the increasing numbers in football.” “This is not the first year that the MPJFL have had finals on a Saturday and won’t be the last. “From what the league can ascertain our finals fixture on Saturday will affect the under 13s Girls age group for the netball finals starting on the 25th of August. “We have tried to make contact today to discuss exactly what age groups our finals schedule will affect to see what changes can be made to ours and netballs finals fixture from next week on to cater for netball but have yet to have our calls returned. We are confident that we can come to a suitable resolution.” No changes have yet been made to the finals schedule, and games will continue to be played on Saturdays. MPJFL President Andrew Souter is currently interstate and could not be reached for comment before publication deadline.

Relief for emphysema sufferers Professor David Langton, Director of Thoracic Medicine at Peninsula Health A further treatment option aimed at improving the breathing and quality of life of some advanced emphysema sufferers is now available at Frankston Hospital. Zephyr Endobronchial Valve Therapy is currently being carried out in hospitals across the country and shows promise in relieving the symptoms of late-stage emphysema. The most common cause of emphysema is tobacco smoking but additionally air pollution and genetics can play a role. In a small group of patients, a genetic disorder known as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency can result in emphysema. Severe emphysema patients suffer irreversible damage to lung tissue resulting in trapped air within the lungs. This destruction unfortunately leads to shortness of breath, decrease in daily activities and a reduced quality of life. Currently, these symptoms are managed using bronchodilating inhalers and/or steroid medications, pulmonary rehabilitation and oxygen therapy. Zephyr Endobronchial Valve therapy offers an additional treatment solution aimed at relieving symptoms by physically improving the mechanics of the lungs. The Zephyr Valve procedure is a short, minimally-invasive procedure whereby tiny valves are inserted through the nose and mouth to block airflow to diseased parts of the lung and improve the flow of air to healthy parts. The diseased region of the lung shrinks in size and healthier regions expand and function more efficiently, meaning improved breathing and the ability to do more things throughout the day. Zephyr Valve Therapy is currently carried out by physicians across the world and is available across Australia at a variety of hospitals in all main states. Assessment for suitability for this new procedure is now available to both public and private patients on the Mornington Peninsula at the Thoracic Department, Frankston Hospital.

Ultimate Boutique Dentistry FOR over 30 years, Dr John Albery has been putting smiles on the faces of clients across the Mornington Peninsula, and continues with his boutique clinic, Dental Studio 2-Twenty. “With a combination of professional experience and the latest technology, we pride ourselves on providing each and every one of our customers with excellence in restorative and cosmetic dentistry,” says Dr Albery. “With very few exceptions, we can handle all of your dental needs in-house. That means you won’t have to waste time waiting and travelling for a referral. Instead, we provide everything you need in our modern practice and at an affordable price.” With Dental Health Week from August 7 – 12, Dr Albery says it is a great opportunity for education on good oral hygiene, and the effect diet has on our dental health. “Excess sugar in the diet has been blamed for increasing rates of dental decay in children as young as one,” said Dr Albery. “There have been new analyses saying that seven out of 10 packaged goods sold on supermarket shelves contain added sugar and there are a huge number of children that are admitted to hospital due to dental conditions that could be preventable.” Dr Albery says that good sugars are an important part of every person’s

diet like those found naturally in dairy, fruits and vegetables. “There is a big difference between natural sugars and the ones added during manufacturing,” he said. Currently there are calls for greater transparency on added sugar in packaged foods which dentists like Dr Albery support wholeheartedly. “It is things like soft drinks, cakes, pies, ice cream, pastries and process meats that contain the highest amount of added sugars,” he said. This year a Choice report found that if consumers could identify added sugars on food packs they could avoid 26 teaspoons of sugar each day. “If this was the case, the dental health of Australians would show a dramatic improvement,” said Dr Albery. Dental Studio 2-Twenty offers a boutique dental experience, with the latest technology, a brand new surgery, state of the art equipment, and the bonus of three decades of experience treating people. Dr Albery has undertaken advanced training in crown, bridge and implants dentistry, and completed his Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy in Myofascial Acupuncture. He is a founding member of the Australian Society of Dental Aesthetics and a founding member of the Peninsula Headache Clinic.

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 theline 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-to-client”. 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.

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 in to 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.

Do you have rules that you live by when treating patients? My number one rule is to take things at

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Calls to ‘dig deep’ for the Seventh War Loan Compiled by Brodie Cowburn DAY by day the good news of fresh Allied victories continues to come through; each day there are fresh stories of the wonderful deeds of the Australians, and each day sees the line that indicates the horrible leash that the Hun threw across Europe being taken further and further back towards the Rhine. It is good news, it is cheering news; but not for one instant must it be taken to indicate that Australia is now at liberty to slacken in her war efforts. Rather it means that still greater efforts must be made; it is the supreme time when there must be every assurance that all that is necessary to force the fight to a determined finish shall be forthcoming. While men are essential to the gaining of such an issue, money is equally essential, for without it armies cannot be maintained in the field, clothing and equipment cannot be supplied and ammunition found. For the greater part of the war the Imperial Government has been bearing Australia’s share of the financial burden and until the last war loan was floated Australia was not self-supporting in this respect. In order that the Commonwealth may continue to be self-supporting the people of Australia are being asked to find the money for another loan of £40,000,000 – money that is to be used solely in the prosecution of the war. It is not an appeal to one section of the community alone, it is an appeal to every man, and woman in the Commonwealth, and it is equally the duty as well as the privilege of every man and woman to respond to that appeal.

In order that the appeal may reach everyone – may, in fact, be taken into the very homes of the people, the system of allocating quotas of the money required to the various districts, and forming committees in every district to organise and control the work locally was adopted. Thus, it will only be as the result of the direct efforts of these local committees that a success will be made of this the Seventh War Loan. Unfortunately, in many parts of Victoria there has not yet been an attempt made to form the necessary committees. Municipal elections have interfered with the work in most of the centres but now that those elections are past it is essential that a prompt effort be made to get this appeal to the people of the State into proper working order. It will require hard and thorough work upon the part of those who constitute the local committees, but it is unthinkable that there will be one committee in the State that will be content unless the name of its district figures among those who have succeeded in gaining an honour flag by raising the set sum of money placed against its name. And, it is equally unthinkable that there will be any local committee that will be satisfied before every house and every shop in the community is decorated with the house flag that will indicate that the householders and shopkeepers have done their individual part. During its last war loan campaign America succeeded in gaining subscriptions from one out of every six persons comprising the population. Canada accomplished practically the

same good work. Australia, however, even in its most unsuccessful war loan campaign, the sixth, succeeded only in gaining subscriptions from one out of every thirty five persons of the population. America accomplished her wonderful performance by adopting system of committees much as is being done in Australia in connection with the present war loan campaign. If America can accomplish such things Australia surely can do the same. And, if Australia as a whole can succeed, Victoria ought to be able to outdistance every one of the other States in the making of this success. There are more than 1,405,000 people in the State of Victoria and it ought easily be possible to succeed in getting at least 250.000 subscribers out of that number. It may look a gigantic task on paper, but when reduced to the detail of every local committee seeing that every house and every shop bears a war loan house badge it is obviously easy. All that is needed for success is that local committees shall “GET BUSY.” *** FLINDERS shire council has been authorised to raise the sum of £3,600 for the installation of an electric lighting plant at Sorrento. *** ON Monday next, Sep 9th, Messrs Brody and Mason will conduct their monthly market at Somerville, when cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, poultry, etc will be offered. *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Athletic Sports Club is called for Friday evening next, and it is hoped that there will be a good attendance

It is hoped that a good muster of town-folk, free to come will mark the initial effort of this very desirable association. *** THE balance sheet of the concert held recently in aid of the funds of the Langwarrin Camp was submitted at a meeting of the committee on the 9th August. The total receipts amount to £22 3s; expenses £6 5d. leaving a credit balance of £16 2s 7d which will be handed over to the camp. *** TENDERS are invited in this issue for the conveyance of mails to and from Carrum Downs and Frankston twice a week, and to and from Stony Point and Fairhaven once a week. Full particulars may be obtained at the General Post Office or any of the places named above. *** AT the meeting of the Frankston and Hastings shire council on Thursday, Cr C. Murray was elected president for the ensuing term, on the motion of Crs Longmuir and Turner. The motion was supported by all the

members and carried unanimously. Crs Turner and Hodgins moved that the allowance be the same as last year, £20. An amendment by Crs Unthank and Mason that the amount be raised to £25 was carried. *** A PUBLIC meeting of ratepayers of the shire of Frankston and Hastings will be held in the Frankston Mechanics on Wednesday next, September 11, for the purpose of electing a local executive committee under the Commonwealth Repatriation Act. The meeting commences at 8 pm, and it is to be hoped that there will be a representative gathering from all parts of the shire. *** A FOOTBALL match will be played against Mordialloc on the local ground on Saturday, September 7th. The following players are requested to be on the ground: Cunneen, Faster, Williams, Cain, Gabriel, Martin, Peddle, E. McComb, Goodwin, Hunt, Darcy, Matson, Coxall, Gamble, Thompson, Burton (2), Wilkinson, Purdy, Prosser, Ryan, Bedcock, W. McComb, Paternoster, Keys. *** OWING to the high price of jarrah timber, a very considerable expense has been incurred by the committee of the Honor Avenue in procuring the jarrah posts for fencing the avenue, and an earnest appeal is made to all who have not yet contributed towards the cost of the memorial to our soldier lads to do so at once. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 7 September 1918

Redlegs slay the Stonecats DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn FRANKSTON YCW have shocked football fans across the peninsula by bowing out of finals in just the second week. The Stonecats were put to the sword by Mt Eliza in a stunning come from behind victory. The Stonecats suffered a blow pregame with Paul Minchington ruled out due to a calf injury. Minchington booted five goals last week to help his team to a win. Despite their injury concerns, Frankston YCW got off to a blinding start, dominating the Redlegs throughout the first half. The Stonecats were absolutely in control at the half time break, with Mt Eliza’s skills by foot letting them down on multiple occasions. Despite having their backs to the wall, the Redlegs looked like a transformed team in the second half, playing a much more physically dominant style of play. The biggest change for Mt Eliza in the second half came through Jordan Moncrieff, who set the game alight. After a relatively quiet one goal first half, Moncrieff piled on six majors in the second half to drag his side back into the contest. Against all odds, the Redlegs snatched the lead with seconds to play in the third term, and held onto their lead throughout the last quarter to run

out unlikely 11.9 (75) to 8.11 (59) winners. The loss ends a difficult year for the Stonecats, who were ravaged by injury and went eight matches without a win throughout the middle of the year. Frankston YCW have won seven of the last eight Grand Finals they have contested, but will now not have the chance to contest another one after stumbling before the finish line. While there was disappointment for the Stonecats, there was elation for Mt Eliza. After a disappointing loss to Pines last week, the Redlegs reminded everyone of their class to book a spot in the preliminary final on Sunday at Frankston Park. Mt Eliza will take on Sorrento in the Preliminary Final, after Pines beat them in a hard fought contest at Alexandra Park. Pines have been the inform side in the competition, and had beaten Sorrento by three points in their previous outing. Both sides traded blows in a tight and competitive first half, before Pines started to pull away. Only eight points separated the sides going into the last quarter, but the Pythonds held on to claim the 11.16 (82) to 14.11 (95) win and claim their spot in the Grand Final, their first since 2002. Perry Lewis-Smith, Aaron Edwards, Daniel Johns, and Luke Potts were Pines’ best in the victory.

Tigers tame Kangaroos DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn DROMANA have bounced back from their shock defeat last week in stunning fashion, hammering Langwarrin to book their spot in the Grand Final. The Kangaroos were put on the backfoot early by a fast starting Dromana. Langwarrin could not register a score in the first quarter, and could only manage one goal in the second. In that time, Dromana piled on ten goals to take a 58 point lead into the half time break. The Kangaroos needed everything to go their way, but Dromana were proving far too good, piling on another seven goals to zero in the third term. Sitting over 100 points up with a quarter still to play, the Tigers could afford to kick their feet up and make sure their bodies were ready to go for next weeks Grand Final matchup. The final siren could not come soon enough for the Kangaroos, as they eventually succumbed to a 22.12 (144) to 4.6 (30) win. Dromana were helped to their win by an even spread of goalkickers, with Sam Fowler and Ben Holmes the most prolific among them with three goals each. The win sees the Tigers advance to the Grand Final, where they will meet Red Hill in a rematch from last week. Dromana have lost just two matches all season, both against Red Hill. The Grand Final will be played 2pm Saturday at Frankston Park. The win capped off a big week of events in Division Two, with Hastings also causing a stir by signing former Coleman medallist Brendan Fevola for the 2019 season.

By Brodie Cowburn HASTINGS’ run in Division Three of the South Eastern Womens Football League has come to a heartbreaking end, as their undefeated streak was broken by Pearcedale in the Grand Final at Holm Park Reserve. Hastings have been the powerhouse side in the competition, with a draw being the only blemish on their record throughout the year. Faced with a Grand Final matchup against fourth placed Pearcedale, the Blues went in as overwhelming favourites to secure the premiership. Things got off to a decent start, as Hastings led at each of the breaks in play throughout the match. Going into the final term, Pearcedale’s inaccuracy in front of goal had been costing them. They had kicked one goal and nine behinds going into the last quarter. In the final turn the momentum swung in Pearcedale’s favour, as they kicked two unanswered goals to snatch the win and snatch an unlikely premiership. The final score read 3.1 (19) to 3.9 (27). The Grand Final defeat was Hastings’ first in 15 games this season, and was a disappointing way to cap off a successful season for the Blues. In SEWF Division One, Seaford fell agonisingly short of pulling off a win in their Grand Final clash against Eastern Devils. Seaford and Eastern Devils both only lost one match for the season, and looked evenly matched on paper. The Devils finished with a

much higher percentage and would have been considered by many as he favourites. The Devils looked a little shaky throughout the first half. They could only manage four behinds before the main break, but Seaford could not make them pay and remained scoreless. The Devils finally put a couple of goals in the board in the third term to take the lead, but Seaford chipped it back in the final quarter. Seaford fought hard but ended up just falling short in a 2.5 (17) to 2.2 (14) loss. Division Two also saw a frustrating Grand Final result for a peninsula side, as Tyabb were soundly beaten by Bass Coast. Bass Coast have been untouchable throughout the entire year, and quickly but the game to rest with a three goal to zero first half. That lead stretched in the third term, but Tyabb were not doing themselves any favours. They had kicked eight straight behind going into the final quarter, The Yabbies restored some respectability in the final quarter with a couple of goals, but fell well short of Bass Coast in a 5.4 934) to 2.8 (20) loss. Kate Thompson and Alicia Coventry were the two names on the scoresheet for the Yabbies. Despite going down, the Yabbies will take encouragement from the fact that they took bass Coast all the way and gave them some headaches, given Bass Coast finished the year with no losses and a percentage of over 1000.

MPNFL clubs reject Cranbourne A vote by the 22 club presidents has seen Cranbourne Football Club have their application to join the MPNFL rejected. The presidents met on 29 August to cast their judgement on whether the Eagles should enter the competition. To be accepted into the league Cranbourne needed an 75% majority of votes, but fell short.

Cranbourne’s current competition, the SEFNL, is disbanding at the end of the year, leaving the Eagles with limited options. The club has appealed the decision to the AFL South East Region Commission, and an independent panel will now decide the club’s fate. Cranbourne president Gerry Kelly said he was “very disappointed” about the outcome.

“There was a lot of support from a lot of clubs, but there are some against us as well,” Kelly said. “It’s confusing because I think there is a general agreeance that they want a third division so that each club can find their level. To make a third division they need more clubs. “The MPNFL is really our only option. We need a home, we need to play somewhere.

“Mornington Peninsula is the best fit for the Cranbourne Football Club. I think we would improve the league as well. “Cranbourne Football Club need a home next year. Our league disbanded, and we need somewhere to play. “Historically and geographically we see ourselves as part of the Mornington Peninsula, and we want to be there for the next 50 years.”

The proposal would have seen Cranbourne bring their reserves, under 19s, and Netball teams across to the league as well. The vote took place in the form of a secret ballot, leaving Cranbourne in the dark as to who voted against them.

Caspersz said. “It definitely takes a little bit of the heat off us and puts a bit more pressure on them to win these next two rounds on the road but we’re certainly not getting ahead of ourselves. “We were in the same position against Western Port and we won’t want to be making the same mistake again. “We’re confident heading in but we don’t want to be getting too confident as they have two very good imports that could be capable of anything so we’ve got to be mindful of that.” Caspersz said the Gulls supporters have made a huge difference throughout the season and the finals series. “It was a great game, but ‘wow’ would be the word I’d used to de-

scribe the crowd,” he said. “The support from the supporters at every away game has been incredible. I reckon we had about 300 followers in that first game.” The Gulls followed op on their flying start to claim a decisive win in game two to clinch the championship trophy. The Gulls got off to a stunning start to take an early 11 point lead, which proved to be insurmoutable. Regular stars Corey Standerfer, Mitch Riggs, and Matt Brasser were again on point for the Gulls, dropping 62 points between them in the win (83-73). The win sees the Gulls avenge the grand final defeat from last season. Elsewhere, the Southern Peninsula Sharks will need to win two on the road to be named grand-final victors.

In the first round of the women’s state championship grand-final, the Southern Peninsula Sharks suffered a 35-point loss to the Sunbury Jets (50-85) at home. The Sharks will now need to win their next two rounds away at Boardman Stadium. Southern Peninsula Sharks basketball operations manager Lucas Allen said the women’s team certainly didn’t lack a drive to win. “It was a tough game but I think the Jets’ experience having five or six national league players made a lot of difference,” Allen said. “You certainly couldn’t question [the Sharks’] intent. They had a great crack but just couldn’t get the ball in the back of the net. “Sunbury did a great job defensively, but hopefully we can get a few shots to drop and turn the result

around.” It’s no easy feat to win away from home but Allen believes the Sharks won’t be too fazed by the travel. “They won their first three finals games on the road so I think they’ll be able to handle playing away,” he said. “Sunbury have earnt [the two home grand final games] with how they’ve gone throughout the year. “Our girls aren’t going to be able to match the international experience that they have, but they’ll certainly be better for having that experience in the first round and I’m sure they’ll put in another great performance.” Both of the second and third round grand final matches will be played on the weekend of Saturday 1 September for the Southern Peninsula Sharks and the Chelsea Gulls.

under-19s competed throughout the season. “We started with a pretty fresh team this season and we didn’t really know what to expect but they put in such a consistent effort throughout the season

and we are absolutely thrilled with how well they went,” Whitfort said. “It was a little bit of a surprise, but they put in during the pre-season and that really paid off. Most of the team are 14 or 15 years old, so to get finals

experience is massive and hopefully we can build off that again for next season.” The new Waves’ (teams) for next season is set to be announced in the coming weeks.

Gulls fly to a championship

By Ben Triandafillou THE Chelsea Gulls have taken out the Big V grand-final series in dominant fashion with a 2-0 clean sweep of the Shepparton Gators. The Chelsea Gulls men’s division one side claimed an 11-point victory over the Shepparton Gators (94-83) in the first round of the best-of-three grand-final series. The Gulls scored the victory away from home and played the decidieng game in front of their home crowd at Patterson River Stadium. Chelsea Gulls head coach Peter Caspersz said the critical first win in the series was one of the side’s best performances for the season. “The second half performance was enormous but we’ve got to back it up now and do it all again,”

Waves end history-making run NETBALL

By Ben Triandafillou THE Peninsula Waves’ under-19s history-making run has come to an end with a tough loss to DC North East Blaze in the Preliminary finals on Sunday 26 August. After claiming the minor semi-final over the reigning premiers, Geelong Cougars, on Wednesday 22 August, the Waves quickly backed up their performance to contest for the last remaining spot in the under-19s VNL grand final on the weekend. The Waves’ side, which is the first under-19s team to make it through to the finals series in the history of the club, put in a top performance against the Blaze but were unable to prevail over the 2017 grand finalists and were defeated by 23 goals (60-37). While star Waves’ shooters Abuk Kenyang and Georgia Hernan managed to shoot an impressive 37 goals under the pressure of the Blaze, the Peninsula team weren’t able to match the drive. The Blaze soared to an early nine goal lead in the first quarter, and while the Waves shot within four goals of their opponents in the second and third quarters, they were unable to recover. Changes in their player combinations allowed the Waves to adapt to the Blaze’s playing style and stay fresh, as Ashlee Barnett, Sarah Russell, Neomai Taufa and Sussu Liai rotated through the defensive goal circle, but the determined Blaze side were too strong in the end. Peninsula Waves championship coach Jess Whitfort said the club couldn’t be any happier with how the

Langy honours Macleod, Strikers safe SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie WHILE Langwarrin was unveiling The Gus Macleod Stand at Lawton Park on Saturday Peninsula Strikers were securing their State 2 South-East status. Macleod has held the reins at Langy for 20 years and in his final home match watched his side come from behind to snatch a 1-1 draw against already relegated Nunawading City. Big reputations and a big budget have not saved the visitors who featured former A-League stars Ben Khalfallah and Massimo Murdocca, the former playing as sweeper while Murdocca took up a central midfield role. After a goalless first half the deadlock was broken in the 61st minute when a long Khalfallah free-kick fell to Borbor Sam who turned past Lloyd Clothier before striking a low shot past Langy keeper Robbie Acs from the right of the area. Four minutes from time Langy midfielder Paul Speed took aim from outside the area and his blocked shot fell for teammate Luke Burgess whose close-range volley levelled the scores. Straight from the restart Nunawading fashioned the best chance of the contest when Sam squared for what should have been a simple Murdocca tap-in but somehow Brendan Richardson blocked the ball on the line and it was scrambled clear. A minute later John Kuol shot wide from the left of the area and that was Langy’s last chance to end the day on a winning note. Strikers defeated fellow relegation battler Heatherton United 3-2 at Centenary Park on Saturday in dramatic circumstances. Ali Sanad was the benefactor of an error from Strikers keeper Dilan Mery in the 20th minute but John Prescott’s seventh goal since signing from Casey Comets nine weeks ago made it 1-1. Two minutes into first-half injury time Alpha Turay’s cool finish gave the home side a 2-1 lead at the break. A Sanad volley in the 60th minute made it 2-2 and set up a tense finish and it was left back Sam Luxford who became an instant hero in the 87th minute when he beat several opponents before slotting home a left-foot shot. The goal sparked wild celebrations among Strikers’ long-suffering fans and when the final whistle sounded what seemed fanciful a few weeks ago had become reality. “A massive congratulations must go

to Jamie Skelly and his coaching staff of Joe Donaghy and Ben Caffrey who took on the job when everyone had written us off,” Strikers president Trevor Johnston said. “Our club will forever be indebted to them and what they have brought to us in such a short period of time.” In State 1 South-East news Mornington went down 2-1 away to Eltham Redbacks on Saturday. Josh Valadon put the visitors ahead in the second half but goals in the 71st and 81st minutes from Dejan Milevski and Lachlan Hogben gave the home aside a crucial three points in its fight to avoid relegation. Meanwhile Gary Hodgson stepped down as president of Frankston Pines last week after seven years at the helm. Hamdija Osmancevic is interim president and is expected to stand for the position at the club’s AGM on Thursday 27 September at the Monterey Reserve clubrooms. His son Amir plays with Northcote in the NPL and is tipped to join Pines for the 2019 season along with some other high-profile recruits as the club targets promotion. Pines aims to build a significant war chest for next season and Alistair Webster, who joined the committee this season, is believed to be raising sponsorship with a figure of $100,000 being bandied about as a playing budget.

Hodgson, Steve Spencer, Patrick Duffy, Matt Murray and Tommy Mitchell are expected to again be part of the new committee but Pip Hodgson is having a well-earned break. Other newcomers may join the committee and the club is keen to revive its junior wing. Right now though Pines has a battle on its hands to avoid the drop after Saturday’s 7-0 home loss to State 2 South-East champion Doveton and this weekend’s away clash with Doncaster Rovers looms as a must-win. In State 3 South-East news Skye United’s State 2 promotion push officially ended last weekend with a 3-0 loss away to Middle Park. Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United blew a chance to move off the bottom of the State 3 ladder when it could only draw 1-1 with fellow battler Dingley Stars at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday. In the 15th minute a long ball from Dion Brown took an awkward bounce and was pounced on by Dylan Waugh who put the home side ahead. Dingley equalised in the 32nd minute when it got forward in numbers and Kerem Akyala finished off a good interpassing move. The visitors dominated the first 20 minutes of the second half but the Tigers clawed their way back and in the last 20 minutes peppered the Stars goal but to no avail.

In State 4 South news Baxter led twice away to Sandown Lions but eventually went down 5-2. Stuart MacKenzie and Ben Meiklem scored for Baxter but the Lions came roaring back with a Tevin Mwenenjawa hat-trick and goals from Matt Thowat and Dobuol Kong. The result keeps Baxter in the relegation scrap and it faces title-chasing Springvale City at Baxter Park this weekend. Championship and promotion aspirations are on the line for Somerville Eagles going into the final round of the State 5 South season. That’s due to an injury time winner from Ash Scholes as Somerville downed Endeavour Hills Fire 2-1 last weekend. Endeavour defender Laurent Coralie was sent off in the 20th minute but the 10 men took a shock first-half lead when Eid Sarwari went down inside the area and Johanes Negassi converted from the spot. Somerville dominated the remainder of the contest but couldn’t break through until the 83rd minute when Bjorn Kutschera tackled an opponent and the ball looped over Endeavour keeper Joshua Permal for the equaliser. Somerville laid siege to the Endeavour goal but just when a draw seemed inevitable a Scholes header kept the local side’s dream alive. Aspendale may have derailed

Rowville Eagles’ promotion chances after a come-from-behind 2-1 away win last weekend. The visitors’ depth was tested due to injuries and a number of teenagers were thrown into the fray. Rowville’s star striker Daniel Grigoruta put his side ahead in the 9th minute but Domenic Paul equalised in the 15th minute and was rewarded for a superb run in the 83rd minute with the winner. Rowville’s Ruben Ichim was sent off in the 88th minute for violent conduct but Aspendale was able to maintain its composure until the final whistle. In NPLW news Southern United’s stellar under-14s made it back-to-back titles when they defeated Bayside United 1-0 last Wednesday night in a catch-up match at Kingston Heath Soccer Complex. Danica Vukcevic scored the winner in the 11th minute and the squad now turns its focus towards another finals campaign in a bid to repeat last season’s championship and Grand Final successes. Last weekend the champions beat South Melbourne 3-1 at Middle Park to strike a psychological blow against a potential finals opponent. Alex Jones scored for Southern in the 9th minute but Maxine Diblasi equalised five minutes later. Rhys McKenna put Southern in front nine minutes into the second half and Jones rounded off the scoreline in the 53rd minute. Southern under-12s hammered South Melbourne 6-1 with goals from Eden McKeown (3), Rhiannon Kelleher (2) and a first for the season from Jemma De Vos. John Meads’ squad has enjoyed an excellent year with 18 wins, three draws and three losses. The under-16s lost 4-1 to South Melbourne with MacKenzie Hicks scoring for Southern while the under19s lost 10-0 and the seniors 8-0.

MORNINGTON-based apprentice jockey Rose Pearson has claimed her first metropolitan victory at Ladbrokes Park on Wednesday 29 August. The promising female jockey ran away with a comfortable 4.5-length victory on the six-year-old mare, Street Spun, for her boss, Mornington trainer David Brideoake. While Pearson was initially trapped three-wide for the first 400m of the race, a proactive move

Little Aths have a ‘ball’ at Championships THE Mornington Peninsula Little Athletics Centre had six talented juniors compete at the Australian Cross-Country Championships at Maleny, QLD on Saturday 25 August. Hamish Terris, Declyn Tanner, Archie Hewett, Ollie Pratt, Jake Simmons and Joel Bell took on an incredibly tough course at the national competition, with Hamish also getting the honour of captaining the Team Vic Primary Boys. Archie and Hamish competed in the boy’s under-12s competition where they finished in sixth and 32nd place respectively. Archie did outstanding to be the first Victorian to cross the line in the national competition, while it was Hamish’s third time representing the state. The lone girl, Declyn Tanner, did a tremendous job in the under-11 girl’s competition and claimed 30th

to take the daughter of Hard Spun to the lead inevitably made all the difference with the mare continuing to extend on her winning margin. Pearson, who has had 10 rides at metropolitan level in Melbourne, said it was great to break through with so few rides in town and even better to do it with an “old champion” like Street Spun. “She’s been such a fantastic horse to the stable,” she said. “I’ve been riding her for three

years and every prep she just comes out and wins multiple races. “She prefers the ground a lot softer than this, but she was just full of running coming down the hill. I tried to move her out to the better ground but she just kept finding.” Pearson kicked off her apprenticeship in 2014 and has accumulated 35 wins on country tracks. Ben Triandafillou

place, while Ollie, Jake and Joel competed in the under-13 boy’s secondary division and finished in 36th, 56th and 57th place, respectively. Mornington Peninsula Little Aths assistant secretary Lisa Henry said that it sounded like all the juniors had an “absolute ball” at the championships. “I was told that it “was a dreamcome-true” for Archie, and Declyn had an amazing time and was very proud of her efforts,” she said.

Mt Eliza search for alternative home venue MOUNT Eliza Tennis Club’s use of the Frankston Tennis Club’s courts for coaching and competition purposes has been extended until the end of 2019, but the ever-growing club’s issue of limited “overflow” courts could soon become a problem. Mt Eliza, the 11th top ranked club in Victoria, has been hiring seven courts from the Frankston Tennis Club. However, with the expected demolition and re-location of the Frankston tennis venue to McLelland Drive, Frankston to make way for the Frankston Hospital’s expansion, Mt Eliza will need to find a new location for their home “overflow” courts. Frankston Tennis Club’s new complex at Centenary Park, which is estimated to be worth $14 million, will be too far for Mt Eliza to call it their “alternative home” venue. Mt Eliza Tennis Club’s head coach Steve Foot said there was a silver lining to the extension of their time at the current Frankston Tennis Club. “We were a little concerned that if [Frankston] was closed down on March 31, which was the initial

agreement, then we wouldn’t get our third and fourth tournaments in which begin at the start of next year,” Foot said. “But now we’ve been told we’ve got it for the whole year, so we should get four tournaments and hopefully

get a fifth one in, as we’ve applied to run an extra one next year. “The fact that we’ve got an extra nine months should allow us enough time to find a new alternative home venue.” Mt Eliza Tennis Club, which cur-

rently uses 10 courts at their home venue, has previously hired courts at Baxter Park, Long Island and Padua College to cover their “overflow” but as the club continues to grow, these options become less practical. “There’s no other venue that has

enough courts that’s close enough in proximity for us to share or use,” he said. “There’s obviously clubs close to us. There’s Ranelagh just down the road from us but they’ve got their own teams, there’s Overport Park not far away but they’ve got their own teams, and there’s Mornington but they’ve also got their own teams. “There’s no logical venue in close proximity for us to have our overflow teams operate out of and that’s why we’ve been so keen to build some extra courts on the oval but I don’t think that’s going to happen. ”We used to use [Baxter Park] and that’s got four courts, but four courts just isn’t enough. “Because of the physical size of the Frankston venue, with the 15 courts they have there, it means that we’ve been able to hire seven of their courts without causing too much trouble. Mt Eliza will continue to hire courts from the current Frankston venue until the end of 2019, but will continue to look for alternative options to help cater for their “overflow”. Ben Triandafillou
