‘We talk a lot about dog poo’ Kingston Council has proposed new measures to help responsible pet owners clean up after their animals at local parks like Roy Dore Reserve.

See story page 3.

Picture: Gary Sissons

Parking fines will be refunded Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON Council will refund over $2 million in parking fines after they discovered their process for reviewing fine appeals may have been improper.

Kingston Council had outsourced their appeal process for fines to an external agency between 2006 and 2016, a process that council now be-

lieves is in violation of the Infringements Act 2006.

The mayor Georgina Oxley said fines issued in the municipality that were unsuccessfully appealed and then paid between 2006 and 2016 would be refunded. She estimated around 20,000 fines worth around $2.3 million would be impacted.

“It is common for councils, and potentially some state agencies, to outsource the issuing of infringement tickets to an external contractor, how-

ever there have been concerns raised that the legislation may not allow external agencies to conduct appeals,” Cr Oxley said.

“In 2016 we received advice that, although the wording of the act wasn’t clear, our processes were acceptable. We wanted to remove any confusion and since 2016 have conducted all reviews ourselves. However, we recently received updated advice and council now believes that the introduction of the act meant the

final decision of the review should not have been outsourced, and that council rather than its contractor should have undertaken the review.

“For that reason, we want to be fair and transparent and therefore will be refunding appealed fines during the 10 year period. We are in the final stages of preparing the refund process and will have further details in coming weeks.”

Council is currently finalising its list of motorists who will have their

fines repaid.

Councillors discussed the matter behind closed doors at a special meeting on 4 March.

Council will write to the state attorney general asking for legislative change to remove confusion around the wording of the Infringements Act. It is believed Kingston is one of a number of councils that will be made to hand back fines to motorists as a result of outsourcing their appeal process.

On the road to freeway construction

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

THE next step has been taken in the construction of the Mordialloc Freeway, with the McConnell Dowell/Decmil Joint Venture chosen as preferred tenderer for the project.

The planned nine kilometre road will link the Mornington Peninsula Freeway to the Dingley Bypass, and is estimated to cost around $375 million to construct.

Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said “we’re now a step a closer on this vital project for our community that will get trucks off local roads and make a smoother and safer journey for everyone.”

Transport infrastructure minister Jacinta Allan said “the Mordialloc Freeway will slash travel times for drivers in the south east and create hundreds of jobs.”

“Several environmental design improvements have already been implemented because of EES investigations, including new and expanded noise walls, wildlife underpasses, fauna fencing and twin bridge structures over the Waterways wetlands,” she said.

A consultation period has recently been held to determine the environmental impact of the proposed road. There has been some opposition to the road, including from the Residents against Mordialloc Freeway Group who made an oral presentation during the consultation period (“Mordialloc freeway objectors make voices heard,” The News, 13/2/19). Results of the consultation period will be assessed by an independent panel in the coming months.

Kingston Council voted on 25 February to “engage with businesses on the Woodlands Industrial Estate to ascertain the possible harmful effects of the Mordialloc Freeway as currently designed on their businesses, and ensure that their concerns about the closure of Woodlands Drive receive appropriate representation and advocacy from Council officers and legal representatives, and if possible reverse the decision to close Woodlands Drive.”

OFF leash dog areas may be fenced off and dog poo bags will be made more readily available as part of a trial by Kingston Council.

Kingston Council voted unanimously on 25 February to “undertake community consultation regarding the implementation of fencing the existing dog off-leash areas at Iluka Reserve, Aspendale and Roy Dore Reserve, provide customers with greater access to free dog-poo bags in civic and other community and animal related facilities, and implement a trial of a dog-poo bag dispenser in reserves in each Ward including Bicentennial Park, Iluka Reserve, Namatjira Reserve, and Spring Road Reserve.”

The motion was moved by Cr David Eden, who said “we talk a lot about dog poo and toilets in our municipality so hopefully we can get this right so we can move on.”

He said a key part of the poo bag trial would be determining a suitable material for the bag.

“We’re looking at trialling dog poo collection bags. It’s particularly relevant at this stage looking at recycling and plastics across Australia to look at what materials we use there,” he said at the council meeting.

“Having a look at the materials, there are new types of water and bacteria resistant papers. Our officers will look into that. We will have a trial and we will report back. A lot of residents have said that they would rather a bag with dog poo go into landfill than the poo just sitting there in the reserve and go through the house with poo on their shoes.

“People on other councils talk about the bags, if we get rid of all the bags we need a solution. If we’re going to stop something we need a solution and hopefully coming up with the right kind of bag will address those concerns.”

The mayor Cr Georgina Oxley said “I think

Dog proof fence: Putting up fences at off leash dog areas such as Roy Dore Reserve in Carrum is being discussed by Kingston Council. Picture: Gary Sissons

the dog poo bag dispensers are something we’ve been talking about a very long time. Other municipalities have them and we’re a little bit behind the eight ball. I think it’s the lesser of two evils as far as plastic and dog poo.”

The idea to consult with the community on erecting fences at off leash dog areas was also supported by councillors.

“Effectively we’re going back to the South Ward community and consulting on two possible locations for a dog off leash area. Both of these areas we’ve got some mapping that we’ve done and they both look like suitable areas that you can fence off with minimal disturbance. We

will be going out for consultation with residents whether they are for or against this proposal,” Cr Eden said.

Cr Oxley said “since discussion with South Ward community members about the off leash dog area at Edithvale Foreshore, which we then subsequently resolved not to continue and pursue with, we have had a number of requests for fenced off leash areas. These aren’t necessarily new off leash areas, they are just providing greater assistance to both dog owners and people who want to visit the reserve for the playgrounds with their children and don’t want dogs coming over.”

It is estimated that up to 23,000 people braved the heat and attended the festival, which was headlined by the band Vaudeville Smash. They headlined Saturday night before Ash Grunwald closed the show on Sunday.

Another act that took to the stage was the Tanya George Band. The lead singer lived on Beach Road and the bass player grew up in Mordialloc.

KINGSTON’S

Petition on Beach Road planting THE debate surrounding Beach Road has once again reared its head at a Kingston Council meeting, as Cr Geoff Gledhill tabled a petition with 466 signatures opposing the planned planting of trees along the road.

Cr Gledhill said on 25 February that “I have a petition from 466 residents that I’d like to present to the CEO relating to the trees in Beach Road.”

“What they are seeking is public consultation on the process. The boulevard style tree planting concept has not been part of any public consultation process and they’re seeking public discussion,” he said.

Cr Gledhill said the signatures were from “residents”, but Cr Ron Brownlees conceded that “some of the people are not necessarily locals who signed the petition, that happens when you expose it to the online component.”

“This was collected in a very, very short time,” Cr Brownlees said.

“What it does demonstrate is the anguish, concern, and frustration about our processes and the lack of consultation.”

The tree plantings on Beach Road have been the subject of prolonged debate at Kingston Council meetings this year, with councillors storming out of meetings after votes and repeated interjection from members of the public, who have been warned that security may have to remove them.

Councillors voted on 29 January to move to refer the matter to IBAC for investigation. That vote was rescinded on 11 February at a special meeting of council.

The mayor Georgina Oxley said at the 11 February meeting that “if there are members of council or community members that feel that [the process has been improper], it is their right to go to IBAC. Members of the community have done so, and received letters back from IBAC saying there is nothing to investigate.”

“The process has been made openly and transparently. In my personal opinion this is a stunt.

This issue has been designed to particularly smear some councillors. I am confident in the process council has followed,” she said (Trial on trail called off by divided council”, The News, 13/2/19).

Looking into climate change and the bay’s future

Steve Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au

The CSIRO is leading studies into the likely effects of climate change along the Port Phillip coastline.

“This project is an important piece of the puzzle in understanding what climate change means for Victoria’s natural and built environments,” Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) project manager, Dr Tamara van Polanen Petel said.

The project – which involves government departments and bayside municipalities - will assess the extent of three key coastal hazards: inundation, coastal erosion, and groundwater change – under several climate change scenarios.

“We know that climate change is happening, and we know that it can create coastal hazards,” Ms van Polanen Petel said.

“What we don’t currently understand is the extent of those hazards and the kind of impacts we will see along the coastline.”

Ms van Polanen Petel said climate change could lead to flooded roads, eroded cliffs and “inland waters becoming saltier”.

“It’s important that this modelling work happens so that land managers, including government departments and councils, can consider how best to plan for, build and manage coastal areas in the years to come.”

The Port Phillip Bay Coastal Hazard Assessment is the fifth assessment of its kind in Victoria, with similar studies being completed for Western Port, Port Fairy, Bellarine/Corio Bay and Gippsland Lakes/90 Mile Beach The CSIRO will draw on data from across government, industry and research sectors with a view to completing the assessment early next year.

Ms van Polanen Petel said DELWP is working closely with 10 bay-area councils – including Frankston and Mornington Peninsula - Parks Victoria, Melbourne Water, the bay’s two catchment management authorities, the Association of Bayside Municipalities and traditional owners.

Keith Platt

THE former officer-in-charge at Mornington Fire Station who chose to end his life in a Swiss euthanasia clinic last week left behind a loving family, many friends – and a message to legislators.

Troy Thornton, 54, who suffered from multiple system atrophy, said in an interview with website Starts at 60 “the Victorian euthanasia legislation needs to be modified to enable people like me with a chronic degenerative disease to have access to the law, not only those defined as ‘terminal’.

“As a first-responder I have seen too many traumatic suicides and suicide attempts. An assisted suicide in Australia would reduce the trauma not only for emergency services personnel but for the families and friends affected by such deaths.

“Australian doctors can and do withhold the necessary medical reports and documentation needed by the Swiss authorities for an assisted suicide. This makes the process of gaining approval in Switzerland even more difficult.”

Mr Thornton, who was diagnosed in mid2014, was told there were no treatments for the progressive neurodegenerative disorder and no prospect of recovery. He chose to end his life on his terms accompanied by his wife Christine, Friday 22 February.

Troy’s sad passing was made more difficult

by Victorian assisted-dying laws which prevented him dying at home with his friends and family, including children Laura, 14, and Jack, 17.

Victoria is set to become the first Australian state to legalise voluntary assisted dying, but Mr Thornton was unable to qualify because he could not find two doctors willing to say with absolute certainty that he would die within 12 months – a condition to access the legislation

in his case.

Frustrated by the stalemate, he urged voters to tell politicians they wanted control of their own end-of-life choices.

Messages of condolence flooded onto social media from former colleagues at Mornington, Mt Martha and Langwarrin fire stations last week.

Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke, also a former firefighter, said “our friend Troy Thornton passed away in Switzerland after making the brave choice to end his suffering.

“Troy was exceptionally intelligent, funny, a gifted sportsman, an exceptional firefighter and friend to us all.

“After working with Troy for years, I am feeling devastated by his passing and I know so many of his colleagues and friends will be feeling the same, but we are also happy that Troy was in control to the end.”

Mr Thornton was assisted in his journey by pro-euthanasia campaigner Philip Nitschke of Exit International. He was put in touch with the Life Circle clinic which also helped Australia’s oldest scientist, Dr David Goodall, end his life last year.

A Mornington Peninsula fire fighter’s social media post ended: “Your shift is over mate, your brothers and sisters will take it from here.”

‘IN the valley’ is an exhibition that highlights the beauty and fragility of our natural environment. Observing and documenting the changing landscape of significant areas of the Mornington Peninsula, artists Rosie Weiss, Jean Langley, Merryn Lloyd, Christine Lloyd, Michael Favaloro and Siri Hayes reveal their personal connections to the landscape and the strong links to place that exists across generations.

The ‘In the valley’ exhibition coincides with the Mornington Peninsula Shire moving towards zero net carbon emissions across all its operations by 2021 and supporting long-term climate change resilience across the community. The exhibition is presented as part of ART+CLIMATE=CHANGE 2019, a socially-engaged festival of climate changerelated arts and ideas featuring curated exhibitions and theatre works alongside a series of keynote lectures, events and public forums featuring local and international guests. For more information: www. artclimatechange.org Artist Cameron Robbins’ work ‘Solar

Loggerheads’ is a large-scale drawing instrument that brings together conflicting forces of creation and destruction. Locked in a continuous spin cycle, two opposing kinetic armatures draw and erase across the same flat surface. Powered by solar energy, the drawing mechanism creates animated marks in a circular motion while the rotation of the eraser is activated by mains electricity.

On Thursday 21 March MPRG is hosting a panel conversation with artist Siri Hayes and environmental advocates Rob Hayes and Rohan Cuming about the convservation issues surrounding Western Port.

An open studio day is being held at the Police Point artist in residence cottage on Saturday 4 May. See Cameron Robbins’ iconic wind drawing machines, attend a sea sculpture workshop with Amy Yang, the Shire’s Waste & Litter Education Officer, and find out more about edible weeds and plants native to the Mornington Peninsula from a local expert.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mr McKenzie welcomes his son home from the war Compiled by Brodie Cowburn LAST week Mr R. W. B. McKenzie of Melbourne Road had the pleasure of welcoming home his soldier son, Lieutenant McKenzie, who as a member of the Flying Corps saw service in Egypy, Gallipoli and France. *** MR A. K. T. Sambell, C.E., having secured an extended lease of “Balnawartha,’ in Frankston, intends establishing his home here at an early date. *** AN old identity passed away on Sunday in the person of Mrs Henderson, of Cranbourne Road, Frankston.

The funeral took place on Monday. *** THEIR many friends were pleased to welcome Privates Bob. Dean and Roger Burton who returned to Frankston this week after several years of active service abroad. *** THE Rev. E. Tonkin who has been enjoying a Short vacation has returned to Frankston and will conduct services in the Methodist church as usual on Sunday next. *** CAPTAIN Carmichael on Monday night stated that had Mr Hughes contested any seat in the recent English elections he would have succeeded.

The anti-German attitude of the Australian Prime Minister so coincided with the opinion of the majority of England’s electors that his election on that cry, would have been assured had he stood. *** ATTENTION is directed to the corrected railway time table appear-

ing on our fourth page. The figures have been brought right up to date, and should prove a convenience to railway travellers. *** AT the ordinary monthly sitting of the Frankston police court on Monday before Mr S. Sherlock (chairman) and Messrs W. J. Oates and C. W. Grant, Js.P., only one case was listed.

L. Cooper, for failing to have his child vaccinated, was fined £2 in default distress.

There was no appearance of the defendant. *** RECENTLY the Bendigo City Council circularised 110 municipalities in the State, soliciting support and co-operation in a movement to induce the Government to introduce an amendment of the Country Roads Act to provide that the Country Roads Board be empowered to take over as national roads, such sections of main roads as, in its opinion, are not materially advantageous to the municipalities through which they pass and those adjacent thereto.

The council has received replies from 79 municipalities, of which 60 favor the proposal. *** ENCOURAGING support has been accorded the “Standard” since the commencement of the year.

From various sources numerous letters have been addressed to the management, expressing appreciation at the forward move made by the Peninsula’s oldest newspaper.

This recognition of our efforts to bring the “Standard “ up to date is

very gratifying and encourages us to go right on.

Complaints made in connection with the late delivery of the “Standard” to subscribers in the metropolitan area and “down the line” post offices have been brought under the notice of the Postmasters General’s Department, and we hope to have an improved service in the near future.

Subscribers who do not receive the paper regularly every weekend are invited to immediately communicate with the manager. *** AT Sandringham court on Monday three defendants were charged with serious offences under the Health Act – two with neglecting to keep the premises in a cleanly condition, and the third with permitting overcrowding, so as to be prejudicial to the health of the inmates.

The evidence disclosed the very insanitary conditions which provail at certain seaside districts.

The honorary magistrates inflicted a penalty of 10s in one of the first mentioned cases, and the other two defendants were fined 20s.

Eight cases were dealt with at the same court against owners for allowing horses and cattle to wander, and each defendant was fined 20s.

Apparently the justices, one of whom is a municipal councillor, did not view the housing conditions of the people as a more serious matter than the case of a harmless cow or horse wandering about the streets grazing on the luxurious growth of grass on the sides of the roads. *** AT the Cranbourne council meeting

on Saturday, Cr Cameron referred to the necessity for provision being made for adequate drainage in regard to estates that were being subdivided, and upon which returned soldiers were being settled, and remarked that if attention was not paid to the matter, there would be serious trouble later on.

The council thought the suggestion a good one and appointed a deputation comprising the shire president (Cr McGregor) and the engineer (Mr Maughan) to interview the Minister of Lands on the subject. *** IN the ordinary course the Election of the Frankston school committee would have taken place last month.

It has been decided by the Minister of Education that in consequence of the closing of schools owing to the epidemic it has been decided that, except where otherwise determined, the period of office of persons who held positions as members of school committees on February 28, 1919, will be extended to April 30. *** THE annual meeting of St. Paul’s Church of England, Frankston, was held in the Schoolroom on Friday evening last.

The Vicar occupied the chair.

The minutes of the last annual meeting were read by the secretary and confirmed, on the motion of Mr Wheeler, seconded by Mr Garrood.

The treasurer presented a very satisfactory balance sheet, which was received and adopted on the motion of Mr Jolly, seconded by Mr Bailey.

A letter was read from H. M. Collins, Esq., stating that he was leav-

ing England for Australia on 19th March, and on his arrival in Victoria he wished to personally discuss with the secretary the erection of a memorial in the local church from the members of his family to perpetuate the memory of the late Mrs C. Mins. *** HEARD in the Train.

That Frankston and Seaford intend joining forces to make Kananook Creek a navigable and/picturesque waterway.

That some action should be taken to compel motor cyclists to affix “silencers” to their machines.

That immediate steps should be taken to securely fence the “Honor Avenue” at Frankston.

That danger from fires at Seaford is very real during the summer months.

That it would be a wise precaution to gather up all the dry bush and rubbish along the foreshore reserve.

That Seaford is anxious to cooperate with Frankston in urging an improved railway service.

That Langwarrin residents intend making another attempt to secure severance from Cranbourne shire.

That the Shire Engineer, Mr Sambell, put up a splendid case for adequate building regulations at the Council meeting on Thursday.

That a sewerage system for Frankston will be a matter for early consideration with the advent of the water supply. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 1 March 1919

IN THE specialists HANDS HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

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

Old boys, new tricks: Peninsula Old Boys got the better of Mornington in a high scoring affair. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Crib Point fall short in Moorooduc chase

By Brodie Cowburn

PENINSULA

CRIB Point have fallen just short of Moorooduc in day two of a hotly contested clash at Crib Point Rec Reserve on Saturday.

Chasing 185 for the win, Moorooduc got off on the wrong foot and lost a series of early wickets.

The bowling efforts of Moorooduc’s Reece Cordeux helped his side greatly, as posted figures of 4/39.

Crib Point ended up all out for 168, just 18 runs short of a win.

At Ditterich Reserve, Main Ridge got the better of Pines in another tight affair.

Batting first Pines scored quickly but lost wickets quickly as well. They set a target of 178 off 60 overs.

In reply Main Ridge were at times shaky and looked in trouble at 7/123.

A good eight wicket stand from Jason Albress and Oliver McEncroe saved the game, with both putting together brilliant innings late on to guide their side to a win.

Red Hill enjoyed a good day at home, as they comfortably defended their day one total of 185.

Baden Powell had one good performer on Coen Chernishoff who scored 41, but were incredibly disappointing otherwise. They were

PAGE 14

bowled out for 128, well short of where they needed to be.

Somerville also did well to defend their total of 181, bowling well as a team to dismiss Long Island for just 125.

DISTRICT

HEATHERHILL gave Rosebud a run for their money but ultimately lost a nail biter on day two at Olympic Park.

With Rosebud having set 195 to win for Heatherhill going into the second day, things got off to a shaky start for the team with bat in hand.

Heatherhill had to bounce back from a 2/4 start, but looked in a better position at 4/112.

The tail was not able to contribute much to the score, and once their highest scoring player fell for 67 things fell apart.

Heatherhill were bowled out for 183, just a handful of runs short.

Mt Martha enjoyed a fruitful afternoon away from home to the Seaford Tigers, as they comfortably chased down 123 runs to claim the first innings. Opener Simon Street top scored with 47 runs to set up his side nicely from the get go.

Seaford were also defeated comfortably, as they were smashed by Delacombe Park.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 6 March 2019

Seaford only put 107 runs on the board in their first innings, which was easily knocked off.

Nick Christides nearly defeated them off his own bat, hitting 104 runs before being caught and bowled.

They ended up bowled out for a mammoth 291 off 64 overs.

At Roy Dore Reserve an innings of 49 from Luke Hewitt was the highlight for Hastings, as they feel short against Carrum. They were bowled out for 172 chasing 204 to win.

SUB DISTRICTS

FRANKSTON YCW have been thoroughly dominated by Dromana in a one sided affair at Dromana Reserve.

Batting first on day one the Stonecats put just 32 runs on the board before being dismissed, with their top scorer scoring just 12 runs. Six players were dismissed for ducks.

In response Dromana scored 189, and the Stonecats came in to bat once more with Dromana chasing an outright win.

The Stonecats were a little better in the second innings, scoring 5/77 before close of play for the day.

Balnarring and Carrum Downs had a much more competitive clash, with Carrum Downs coming within a whisker of chasing down their target.

Balnarring set a total of 242 runs to chase on day one, and Carrum Downs looked in a good position at 2/94.

Ryan Lynch top scored with 65, but it was not quite enough to get his side over the line.

Carrum Downs were bowled out for 232, 10 runs short of a result.

Boneo and Tyabb also played out a thrilling match at Bunguyan Reserve.

Boneo batted out the first day and put together an impressive innings of 8/243.

Tyabb’s day started will with a stunning innings of 108 from opener Nick Taranto, but unfortunately for Tyabb his teammates did not match his efforts.

Four specialist batsmen were dismissed for single digit scores, as Tyabb were left all out for 235.

Rye got the best of Skye at Skye Rec Reserve, as the home said failed in defending a poor first innings total of 105.

Rye put together a 86 runs opening stand and scored 6/164.

Skye came back in for a second innings and ended the day at 2/59.

Tootgarook had a bye.

PROVINCIAL

PENINSULA OB have got the last laugh over Mornington in a high

scoring encounter on Saturday.

With Mornington having put on an opening run stand of 89 and set 232 runs on day one, the Old Boys had a bit of work ahead of them. They responded with an impressive 103 run opening stand at the start of day two, with Dylan O’Malley top scoring with 74 runs.

Around the grounds, Baxter grinded out a nail biting win over Langwarrin at Baxter Park.

After setting Baxter a total of 156 to chase down, Langwarrin needed to work hard to keep their sights on a win.

With just one over left to play, Baxter hit the winning runs with just one wicket in hand.

Mt Eliza made quick work of Pearcedale away from home, defending their day one total of 210 with ease.

Pearcedale struggled with bat in hand, ending up all out for a miserable 105 in tough conditions.

Flinders also had a tough day, as they were easily bested by Sorrento at David Macfarlane Reserve.

Chasing 112 to win, Sorrento made short work of it and claimed the first innings with seven wickets to spare.

They finished at 6/195.

Skye wants State 1 opponent SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SKYE United’s FFA Cup journey took a dramatic twist on Saturday when it came from two goals down to beat Monbulk Rangers 4-3 at Centenary Park.

Monbulk had beaten Skye in the promotion race from State 3 last season and came into the clash as a firm favourite.

But things didn’t go Monbulk’s way when injury forced Declan McAleese to be replaced by Cameron Poynter after just 14 minutes.

Four minutes later Daniel Walsh’s lethargy in pushing up from defence allowed Poynter to beat the offside trap and hammer the ball past Skye keeper Jonathan Crook for the opener.

In the 34th minute Johnny Andrinopoulos lost possession on the right of his penalty area and with Crook stranded the ball was squared to Arash Sadeghi who struck it past Sajnesh Sugrim on the goalline to make it 2-0.

But a goal of stunning simplicity in the 40th minute gave Skye a lifeline.

Jason Nowakowksi had blown Skye’s best early chance when he ballooned his shot from the left of the area in the 22nd minute but now he played a one-two with Daniel Attard that split the Monbulk defence and he calmly lobbed the bouncing ball over advancing Monbulk keeper Jayden Allan to make it 2-1.

Right on half-time Skye’s Marcus Anastasiou was felled inside the area and Walsh easily converted from the spot for the leveller.

Two minutes into the second half Crook was beaten by Sadeghi at the near post with a low shot that squirmed through his legs to restore Monbulk’s lead but loud appeals for a penalty to Skye’s Mitch Blake in the 51st minute went unheeded.

Three minutes later Skye’s Sean Karipis unleashed a dipping long-range drive that slammed against the bar and was scrambled clear but Skye wouldn’t be denied and a low shot from outside the area by Harrison Michaelis in the 55th minute made it 3-3.

Nowakowski should have put Skye ahead in the 60th minute after Michaelis sent him clear on the left of the area only to send his shot over the bar and two minutes later Attard got free on the left but Allan parried well.

In the 68th minute Andrinopoulos couldn’t control the ball properly and Steve McRae took advantage breaking into a one-on-one against Crook only to strike the ball wide of the far post and blowing one of the best chances of the

contest.

Extra time looked certain until Monbulk failed to clear as the ball pinballed about inside its area before Skye substitute Mikey Turner was brought down.

Referee Patrick Chaplin pointed to the spot for the second time in the match and again up stepped Walsh and again he made no mistake to put Skye through to the next round of the cup with a possible match-up against a State 1 opponent, a clash that holds no fears for senior coach Phil McGuinness.

“We’d be delighted to draw a Division One club,” McGuinness said.

“I think we play better when we play a side from a higher league.

“Yes we did well to come from behind today but the thing that impressed me most was our level of fitness.

“I’ve used the last couple of months to really push the boys and you could see that out there.

“No disrespect to the opposition but I think you could tell in the last 20 minutes that they were out on their feet and I think the heat really got to them.”

Skye remains keen to bring in an extra striker and has spoken to some local players as well as contacting online player agency Soccer Smart.

McGuinness seems content with his stocks in defence and in midfield knowing that Billy Painting, Gerard Lawler, Mo Elhassan, Mark O’Connor and Marcus Collier still have to come back into the side.

In the second cup match at Centenary Park on Saturday State 2 side Peninsula Strikers beat State 4 opponent Baxter 4-1.

The cup heroics of the previous week

were quickly forgotten when a severely depleted Baxter arrived at the venue.

Nathan Yule (suspended), Mitchell Cohen (leg injury), Charlie Jones (hamstring injury), Alan Lipsett (groin injury) and Brendan Norris (working overseas) were all missing from the 3-2 extra-time win over Altona North along with Chris Bowen and Paul Swan who were at private functions.

Baxter had hoped to have some new signings on show but Phil Greig (exMornington and Langwarrin) and Sam Brown (ex-Langwarrin) were unavailable, Dau Ajak (ex-Morwell Pegasus) is still not ready to play and Jack Wyer (Mornington) only started light training last week.

Strikers were without Michael Hoogendyk (suspended) and injured Julian Malander.

In the 12th minute Strikers midfielder Jordan Avraham played in John Prescott on the right of the area and his square ball across the face of goal presented winger Alpha Turay with a firsttime tap-in to make it 1-0.

But six minutes later former Strikers forward Ben Meiklem broke through and slotted the ball past Strikers keeper Colin McCormack to make it 1-1 and stun the home team fans.

Strikers’ lead was restored when Josh Calle marked his debut by setting up Avraham for a close-range finish in the 37th minute to make it 2-1.

Despite huffing and puffing through the rest of the first half and most of the second period Strikers could not add to the scoreline as Baxter players refused to lie down and keeper James Foster proved a difficult hurdle to overcome.

Strikers eventually grabbed some

breathing space when substitute Grant Lane volleyed home at the second attempt in the 83rd minute.

Five minutes later a neat one-two with substitute Matt Harrington allowed Prescott to beat the advancing Foster to the ball and neatly dink it past the young keeper to round out the scoreline.

In other FFA Cup news featuring local clubs, Somerville Eagles lost 6-0 to an impressive South Yarra, Aspendale Stingrays lost 4-0 to Moreland United, Seaford United lost 2-1 after extra time to Mooroolbark while Frankston Pines lost 3-2 after extra time to Thornbury Athletic.

Dylan Waugh put Seaford ahead in the first half at Esther Park but right on half-time Mario Rivera levelled for the home side.

The tie was forced into extra time and in the 108th minute Daniel Burrows nabbed the winner.

Pines had upgraded their floodlights last week and passed a lighting audit so the tie scheduled as a home match for Thornbury was switched to Monterey Reserve as Thornbury didn’t have a ground available and neither club was keen to play at Darebin International Sports Centre.

The less said about this tie the better as after half-time it descended into an at times brutal contest with two players stretchered off and two Pines players red carded in extra time.

Both substitute Josh Maclaren and central defender Daniel Mota deserved to be sent off but had referee Arthur Vasiliadis took action against the numerous scything tackles from behind from Thornbury players the game

would have had to be abandoned due to lack of numbers.

Travis Ernsdoerfer put Pines ahead with a low shot in the 11th minute and new signing Nick Simmons doubled the advantage in the final minute of the half.

Connor McAndrews gave away a penalty five minutes into the second half with a rash challenge and Michael Gaitanis converted at the second attempt after Alfonso Cardinale had parried his initial attempt.

Five minutes later scores were tied after Marc Macaluso’s cross-cum-shot sailed over Cardinale’s head and into the far corner of the Pines’ goal.

The decisive moment came in the 6th minute of extra time when Bart Holod was sent clear on the right of the area and struck a superb low shot across Cardinale and inside the far post for the winner.

In NPL2 news Langwarrin came away from the long trip to Albury with a 1-1 draw against Murray United on Saturday but it had to wait until almost the last kick of the match to grab a point.

The home team took the lead in the 59th minute making Langy pay for losing possession and Tom Youngs opened the scoring.

It looked as though the visitors would return empty handed to Melbourne until Roddy Covarrubias was at the near post as the ball was played in from the right and he got a touch to send it under Murray keeper Abdulkerim Koc for a 97th minute equaliser.

In NPLW news Southern United had another dismal day at the office despite signing former Casey Comets midfielder Natalie Holmes late last week.

Holmes came off the bench for the last 15 minutes but was helpless to stop Bulleen chalking up a 10-0 win at Monterey Reserve on Saturday afternoon.

Southern’s under-19s lost 5-0, the under-16s drew 1-1 with Eden Abrahams scoring for Southern, the under14s went down 4-0 and the under-12s lost 13-0.

This weekend’s league games: SATURDAY 3pm: Langwarrin v Bulleen (Lawton Park); Southern Utd v Geelong Galaxy Utd (Monterey Reserve, under-12s 9am, under-14s 10.10am, under-16s 11.30am, under19s 1pm).

Sharks players called up for national squad SOUTHERN Peninsula Sharks players Jaz Shelley and Olivia Pollerd will join the under-19s Australian squad in preparation for the under19s World Championships in Bangkok in July.

The two Sharks’ players were selected to be apart of the World Championship team camp two weeks ago. The girls will join some of Australia’s best junior basketball talent for a weekend long camp in May. Southern Peninsula Sharks basketball operations manager Lucas Allen said they were both incredibly excited to join the squad.

“For Jaz, she’s been to two World Championships already including the under-19s as a double bottom age. She’s been to that level before but she’ll still be excited to make the squad once again,” Allen said.

“For Olivia, she just missed out on the under17s team at last year’s World Championships so to be included in this squad, she’s a bit surprised about but she’s definitely very excited for it.”

When looking at the Sharks women’s team last season, Allen only had positives to say about both of the players. “[Olivia] was an important part of the team in particular with her shooting and her size,” he said.

“Jaz was obviously a very critical player for the team as well.”

The players were chosen for the squad by talent identification from various tournaments and camps leading up to selection.

The final squad will be selected for their camp in May.

Stable stars impress at jumpouts ANTHONY Freedman’s stable stars Santa Ana Lane and Shoals stepped out in a handy jumpout at Balnarring on Wednesday 27 February.

The talented pair, who have recorded seven Group 1 victories and just shy of $6 million between them, finished first and second in the second heat of the morning and look right on track for their return to the races.

Santa Ana Lane was allowed to find his feet at the back of the small field before working home powerfully to finish two lengths off his stablemate Shoals, who led from start to finish, in the 1000-metre gallop.

Pinecliff-based assistant trainer and Anthony’s son, Sam Freedman, said Santa Ana Lane will be prepared for the Newmarket Handicap at Flemington on Saturday 2 March before heading to Sydney for the $2.5 million T.J. Smith Stakes (1200m) during The Championships.

Group 1 options in Hong Kong and the UK remain on the radar later in the season.

“He and Shoals were in the same heat this morning,” Freedman said.

“{Shoals} won it and he finished second, beaten about a length.

“We wanted to give him a pretty solid hit-out and we were very pleased with his effort.

“The Newmarket looks a nice option for him first-up. We wouldn’t be going there expecting him to win but he can definitely run well and what we’ve seen previously with him is that he improves into his campaign.”

Freedman said Shoals had overcome a minor setback that had forced her scratching from the Oakleigh Plate at Caulfield on Saturday 23 February.

Connections are now considering first-up options in Melbourne and Sydney over the coming fortnight.

“She’s over the little issue she had last week and she’s ready to go to the races now,” Freedman said.

“She’ll potentially head to the Newmarket as well, or maybe the Canterbury Stakes in Sydney.

“She’s had the three jumpouts now so whether it’s 1200m or 1300m first-up, she should have the grounding to run very well.”
