Wave rider

A FLEETING storm hit the Frankston area on Tuesday afternoon last week (6 October).

While most people sought cover indoors this lone surfer took advantage of high waves to hit the water off Carrum beach.

There were no reports of major damage along most bayside beaches but Black Rock jetty is temporarily closed after a 10-metre stretch of the jetty’s decking was “undermined” as a result of storm activity earlier this week according to Parks Victoria.

‘Tide of support’ for Dolphins Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A STEERING group formed to help Frankston Football Club negotiate choppy financial waters says community support for the Dolphins’ continued existence is rising.

Club record games holder Peter Geddes says the group is urging members and supporters to “keep your feet” and not stumble in backing the beleaguered club after AFL Victoria stripped its VFL licence for next season.

“We have been inundated with a tide of support for the Dolphins over the last week and are confident that we can put together an effective business plan to guide us through the next few years,” Mr Geddes said in a statement.

The Dolphins will not be allowed to field a VFL side next season but plan to reapply for league membership in 2018.

The football club was placed into voluntary administration in late August amid debts understood to be in excess of $1.5 million, mostly owed

to the state government and Tabcorp for pokies’ licences.

The club removed all 27 electronic gaming machines at its newly built function centre in May this year.

Worrells Solvency and Forensic Accountants, the administrators of the club, met with creditors last Monday (3 October) and creditors agreed to postpone any decision on the club’s future until a further meeting on 28 October.

The Dolphins’ plight has united political opponents in a bid to keep the 129-year-old club alive despite the

DIVORCE LAWYERS

loss of its VFL licence next year.

Federal Dunkley Liberal MP Chris Crewther and state Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke have joined the ‘Save the Frankston Dolphins Steering Committee’ alongside Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley.

“It was very important to set up this committee as we all need to work together and, as a community, get strongly behind the Club to get it back on its feet and to restore its VFL licence,” Mr Crewther said.

“Keeping the Frankston Dolphins going and as a VFL Club is important

because it creates so many opportunities for young footballers aspiring to get into the VFL or AFL and creates community outcomes, whether it be youth engagement, job opportunities, multicultural integration and the avoidance of many social pitfalls through community engagement.

“I will be working my utmost hardest hand-in-hand with the local community to ensure this is the case”.

The committee will examine the long-term financial viability of the football club, its governance and will arrange fundraisers in coming months.

Pokies protection ‘strong enough’

Black Sorrows on their way A FAVOURITE of the live music scene Joe Camilleri and his Black Sorrows will be back in town next week to launch a new album.

The Faithful Satellite album, out this week (16 September) is the successor to the band’s last original album, released in 2014, Certified Blue.

Joe Camilleri and long-time writing partner, Nick Smith, continue to effortlessly embrace all musical styles.

The album touches on everything from samba and swing, to rock ‘n’ roll and blues, and shows Camilleri is still a singer, songwriter, musician, performer and producer at the top of his game.

As frontman of the seminal 70s band, Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons, Camilleri was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2007.

With The Black Sorrows, Camilleri has achieved worldwide success, with hit songs such as Chained to the Wheel, Harley & Rose and Hold On To Me. Last year their Endless Sleep album was nominated for the 2015 ARIA award for ‘best blues & roots album’, and reached number 13 on the Euro Americana chart last year.

The Black Sorrows will perform at Frankston RSL, 12 October.

THE state government has backed two regulators’ right to decide an upgrade to a children’s playground at the Langwarrin Hotel is “a social benefit” to be taken into consideration when approving 10 more pokies machines at the venue.

The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) in August overruled Frankston Council’s refusal of the Langwarrin Hotel’s bid to increase the total number of machines at the pub to 62 (“Child’s play for more pokies at pub”, The Times 19/9/16).

The VCAT decision followed a Victorian Commission for Gaming and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) ruling earlier this year that also took into account the “social benefit” of weatherproofing a children’s play area at the Langwarrin Hotel when approving hotel owner Beretta’s application for more pokies.

A spokeswoman for state Labor Gaming Minister Marlene Kairouz, Miriam Phillips, said existing legislation is sufficient to shield children from gambling at pubs and clubs.

“There is strong legislation in place to clearly separate gaming areas from other areas in facilities used by families,” Ms Phillips said.

“Venues are regularly inspected by the VCGLR to ensure they are complying with these standards.”

The Times asked if the Gaming Minister thinks it is appropriate that upgrades to a children’s play area are linked to an increase in pokies

New feel: Joe and his Black Sorrows are a staple of the music scene.

machines at a venue.

“How clubs choose to spend their revenue is a commercial decision for the clubs,” Ms Phillips said.

Frankston Council said it was disappointed with VCAT’s decision to set aside its rejection of the planning permit application.

“We are concerned about the message this sends to local families and the long-lasting impact that gaming has on one of the most vulnerable communities in Victoria,” Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said.

Last month the Alliance for Gambling Reform - a group including South Australian senator Nick Xenophon, Tasmanian independent MP Andrew Wilkie and anti-gambling campaigner Tim Costello – surveyed council candidates across Victoria asking their views on councils “having proper authority having proper authority over the location of poker machines in their respective communities”.

Ninety-eight per cent of 493 council candidate respondents said they supported a greater say for councils.

In Frankston 11 of 36 candidates responded to the survey according to the alliance. All said they wanted council to have more power over the location of pokies.

Beretta’s and the VCGLR have refused to respond to all media questions about the Langwarrin Hotel pokies application.

Conduct hearing docs stay secret Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au DOCUMENTS related to councillor code of conduct arbitration hearings will not be released after deputy mayor Cr Colin Hampton requested they be sealed from public view forever.

At last month’s public council meeting councillors voted for the documents and hearing outcomes to be brought into open council but a subsequent notice of motion at the same meeting by Cr Hampton stated: “The arbitration reports … remain in closed council indefinitely”.

Crs Glenn Aitken, Brian Cunial, James Dooley, Sandra Mayer and Michael O’Reilly voted to release the documents

but then backed Cr Hampton’s notice of motion ordering the documents be sealed.

Cr Darrel Taylor and Cr Suzette Tayler had been ejected from the meeting for 30 minutes by mayor Dooley, as meeting chair, at the time of the voting because the mayor believed comments made at the meeting were slanderous (“‘Dirty laundry’ aired at council”, The Times 26/9/16).

The documents, seen by The Times, include emails between councillors and evidence given to the arbitration hearings that show bitter personal feuding mostly unrelated to council policies and decisions amid accusations and counter-accusations of “bul-

lying” and “harassment”.

Acting Frankston Council CEO Tim Frederico said council had also sought legal counsel after the council meeting that advised the documentation could not be released due to “privacy and legal obligations”.

“Council has been advised that none of the information from the confidential report can be released to the public,” Mr Frederico said.

“In view of this advice, the information will not be released in any form.”

The acting CEO said Cr Hampton’s notice of motion also “supplanted” the previous notice of motion when councillors voted to release the arbitration hearing documents.

Council CEO Dennis Hovenden confirmed last month that it cost ratepayers about $19,000 to pay lawyers to adjudicate on five complaints against three councillors – Crs Darrel Taylor, Suzette Tayler and Rebekah Spelman – by fellow councillors Dooley and Aitken.

Lawyers found no merit in three of the complaints, including Cr Aitken’s complaint about Cr Spelman and Cr Dooley’s complaints about internal council emails sent by Cr Darrel Taylor.

Lawyer ruled phrases used by Cr Taylor and Cr Suzette Tayler in Facebook comments about council matters breached council code of conduct provisions and they should publicly apologise.

Cr Darrel Taylor claimed the com-

plaints were payback for against the three councillors was motivated by the outcome of an independent panel hearing that in June found Cr Colin Hampton breached Local Government Act code of conduct behaviour clauses over the way he was “aggressive” towards two council employees at a public function at The Deck bar in Frankston late last year.

The mayor ordered Cr Taylor from the meeting, saying he had been “defamed” since he was effectively being accused of “bias”.

Cr Hampton has tabled the exact wording of the apology Crs Taylor and Tayler must make at a public council meeting on Monday (10 October).

Ram raids hit shopping centres FOUR men in a stolen four-wheeldrive rammed their way into the Frankston Power Centre in an attempt to steal an ATM, 6.40am, Monday 3 October.

Detective Senior Constable Bernie Dowling, of Frankston CIU, said the men crashed into the ATM in the food hall of the centre, corner Cranbourne Rd and Gertrude St, but ran off when their vehicle became stuck, leaving a trail of destruction.

In a similar raid, thieves used two four-wheel-drives in a ram-raid attack on Peninsula Homemaker Centre, Mornington, early Saturday 24 September, and got away with a large amount of cash.

Police said four men in a Nissan Patrol tried to pull out a bollard out front of the centre, 3.40am, but only managed to bend it. They were able to position the vehicle so it could ram through a door into the centre and used a grinder to cut the ATM free.

The men lifted the 300kg machine into the rear of a second vehicle when the first vehicle became wedged between the bollard and the wall during their escape.

More police to tackle crime sprees Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au THE hiring of extra police announced last week is expected to go some way towards easing the perceived crime wave across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula – especially home invasions and carjackings.

As reported in The Times last week, overall crime in Frankston has risen 12.5 per cent in the past financial year, while the Mornington Peninsula’s reported crime rate is up 9.6 per cent.

In Frankston, sex offences increased by 70 per cent to 481, burglary and break-and-enter offences up 24.6 per cent to 1180, and drug dealing and trafficking almost 25 per cent to 242.

On the Mornington Peninsula, robbery is up 60 per cent to 37, arson 28 per cent to 91, burglary and break-and-

enter 26 per cent to 1393, drug use and possession 21 per cent to 506, weapons and explosives offences 44 per cent to 400, and public nuisance offences 62 per cent to 91.

Neighbouring cities of Casey and Cardinia also had bad years, with close to 20 per cent more crime than last year. Of the 79 local government areas in the state, 75 had increases in crime over the past 12 months.

Announcing the fast-tracking of new police last week, Police Minister Lisa Neville said the Police Academy would run “at capacity” to train 406 new police as the state government brings forward the recruitment of more frontline police.

She said the decision to hire more officers by the end of June 2017, rather than June 2018 “reflects the need for more officers in Victoria’s growth communities” and follows “detailed

discussions with Chief Commissioner of Police Graham Ashton”.

The first of the officers will “hit the beat” in early 2017. They will cost $26.2 million with the amount budgeted for in next year’s Victorian Budget.

Ms Neville said the government was introducing new laws “to target offenders who commit home invasions and carjackings”.

But Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula will miss out on the initial batch of new officers. Acting Assistant Commissioner Glenn Weir, who oversees Southern Metro Division 4 covering Frankston and the peninsula, said: “Some priority areas have been identified for the deployment of the additional resources currently being recruited. These include Casey, Wyndham and Whittlesea. Any final decision about deployment of additional resources will be made when they start

Council election papers in post BALLOT papers are being mailed out to voters ahead of Frankston Council elections on 22 October.

Victorian Electoral Commission returning officer Peter Snow says voters should return completed ballot papers well before a final deadline of Friday 21 October, 6pm.

“With the whole election being conducted by post, it’s incredibly important voters complete and return their ballot material as soon as possible to make sure their vote counts,” he said.

Voters who have not received a ballot pack by Wednesday 12 October should call 8619 1615 to arrange a replacement.

Candidates who have nominated to stand for election are listed in the ballot packs and at vec.vic.gov.au/frankstonelection/candidates online.

Where provided by candidates, a photo and statement will be included. Voters can also view candidates’ answers to the candidate questionnaire online.

Voting is compulsory for voters on the state roll for this election. Enrolled voters who do not vote may be fined. Voters aged 70 years or older and council-enrolled voters are encouraged to vote but will not be fined if they don’t vote.

Raid nets drugs, guns and cash

to come on line next year.”

Ms Neville said the new police “are over and above the hundreds of police trained over the course of the year to cover attrition”.

“The government continues to give Victoria Police the resources and powers it needs to fight crime – funding an additional 406 police, new technology and specialist equipment, and introducing new laws to target offenders who commit home invasions and carjackings,” she said.

Victoria Police continues to work on a new police deployment model, which Ms Neville admitted was “yet to be finalised”.

It aims to work by examining an area’s crime trends and socio-economic factors which then inform resourcing decisions. She said the extra police would be deployed to growth corridors and other areas of high need.

A POLICE raid on a business address at Carrum Downs last week unearthed drugs, guns, ammunition, large quantity of cash – and even a pill press.

Detective Senior Constable Chris Sweet, of Frankston CIU, said the eight guns seized at the Hall Rd premises included a variety of rifles and handguns. The drugs included large quantities of ice, ecstasy, a variety of pills and prescription drugs.

Detectives executed the warrant on Thursday afternoon 29 September. A Carrum Downs man, 26, was charged with weapons and drugs offences. He was remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court last Thursday and further remanded to reappear on 20 December.

Man shot, witnesses sought POLICE are investigating after a man was shot in Robinson Rd, Carrum Downs, Saturday 1 October.

Police media’s Thomas O’Byrne said emergency service crews were called to the scene – outside Gathercoles Abattoir – about 1.30pm.

The 39-year-old Cranbourne man, who was wounded in the leg, was taken to hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries. A crime scene was established and police are investigating. Police divers were back at the scene last Tuesday scouring the Eastern Contour Drain, near where the shooting took place, for evidence.

Any witnesses or anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Last chance for precious Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au A FLYING mammal that lives on the Mornington Peninsula but is listed as “vulnerable” by the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) could be the last hope of saving the former South East Water reservoir in Mt Eliza from development.

Since South East Water announced plans last year to rezone the 2.8 ha Kunyung Rd site, it has largely been untouched and remains one of Mt Eliza’s last wildlife habitats. A variety of frogs, flying foxes and possibly the almost extinct southern brown bandicoot and the nationally significant white-footed dunnart live there.

Environmentalists are concerned their protests over redevelopment plans are falling on deaf ears, with the lure of profit coming first.

However, there are hopes that an appeal to protect the grey-headed flying fox may give protestors “a national lifeline”. The mammal, which eats native flowers, pollen and nectar and has colonies at the site, is known to play a vital role in keeping ecosystems in good health.

Fears are also growing that most of the remaining environmentally sensitive land in Mt Eliza will soon be snapped up for development, with rumours that the buyer of the neighbouring Moondah estate in Kunyung Rd – Ryman Healthcare – is interested in acquiring the South East Water site.

New Zealand-based Ryman Healthcare recently paid almost $40 million for the 8.9-hectare waterfront property, and has indicated it is continuing to look for suitable sites to build more aged care facilities in Australia.

South Eastern Centre for Sustainability president Steve Karakitsos said further development in the Kunyung Rd area was threatening already

vulnerable species, such as the grey-head flying fox.

He said South East Water’s plan to redevelop its Mt Eliza land for profit showed it had little concern for the “hundreds of thousands” of native species living there.

“We all know about the giant panda and rhino but are oblivious to the animals in our own backyards,” he said.

Mr Karakitsos said South East Water should be true to its public image of caring for the environment.

The company has refused to back down from its plan to rezone and develop the land for housing, with chief spokesman Rupert Posner saying last week that the matter was “still being considered”.

Mr Posner, once the CEO for not-for-profit group Good Environmental Choice Australia, was quoted in online magazine Otter in 2013 as being concerned about the loss of orangutan habitat in south East Asia.

“This refusal to acknowledge one of South East Water’s local assets of significant biodiversity and consistent refusal to protect this, blatantly contra-

dicts the lip service of South East Water’s commitment to sustainability,” said Mr Karakitsos.

“This frightening outcome is avoidable and totally unnecessary.”

Mornington MP David Morris, who raised the issue in parliament in August, has called on Environment Minister Lisa Neville to halt the development of the land for housing due to its importance in “supporting local wildlife”.

Mr Morris called on the minister to “use her authority” to transfer the land to the Mornington Peninsula Shire so it won’t be “lost to housing”.

k ! c Y ba A Y re e’ W

habitat Mt Eliza had received notification.”

Environmentalists and residents are pushing for all or part of the 57 Kunyung Rd site to be rezoned for public open space or reserved as environmental nature corridors.

A Mornington Peninsula Council report last year suggests it has adopted a pro-development stance, by stating that a panel hearing found “no basis on which to recommend any or all of the land should be zoned Public Park and Recreation Zone or Public Conservation and Resource Zone as a result of its potential habitat values”. According to the report, the two-member panel had taken “unaccompanied” inspections of the site before making its findings.

In August another council report stated it had taken “further advocacy” to achieve an open space provision of at least 10 per cent and some provision for affordable housing at the site.

The impressive site has a complicated history and is within a broader 825-lot suburban housing estate established in 1924.

In the late-1950s, much of the land was owned by aviation pioneer Reg Ansett, who then bought further land from his neighbours and then sold this parcel to the government, which developed the reservoir.

The Environment minster Lisa Neville said projects likely to have a significant impact on a matter protected under national environment law, such as a threatened species, must be submitted to the federal environment department to see whether federal assessment is needed.

“It is the proponent’s responsibility to refer an activity under national environment law if they think it could cause a significant impact on a nationally protected matter,” she said.

Mornington Peninsula Council, planning minister Richard Wynne, Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke and Ryman Healthcare all declined to comment when contacted.

But Mt Eliza planning activist Rebecca Taylor, who started residents’ group ‘Kunyung Says No’ and an online petition to save the land, said the council should start being “transparent” about its dealings with South East Water.

“I have no faith in South East Water’s commitment to the environment, so it is important that what goes on between them and council is transparent,” she said.

“The council originally told us it had contacted all relevant residents about the rezoning proposal, but when I did a survey of residents, only eight in

Car fire after barrier hit A CAR caught fire on top of the Frankston Freeway overpass at Frankston Dandenong Rd-Skye Rd, Wednesday morning. Police closed Frankston Freeway to traffic about 12:30am after the car hit a barrier and caught fire. Frankston CFA were in attendance. Picture: Gary Sissons

Hurry!

Buzz in the air on line

THE driver of a train approaching Parkdale station kept going rather than stop when he spied a swarm of wasps buzzing around the platform, Thursday morning (6 October).

Metro spokesperson Sammie Back said the driver noticed a “considerable number” of the stinging insects at the station at 10.50am and, after consulting the company, was told to run express.

She said there were no passengers waiting on the platform and those on the train who missed their stop were offered buses back.

The wasps hung around for about an hour before dispersing. Normal services resumed later.

Seniors not sitting still MT ELIZA resident Bob Greaves received a Council of the Ageing Senior Achiever Award at a ceremony at Government House last week.

He was one of eight recipients of the award presented as during the 2016 Victorian Seniors Festival. It offers more than 1300 free and lowcost events all over Victoria, including a great array of social, cultural, educational and bodyand-soul activities.

Other local award recipients were Vishnu Prasad, of Skye: Promotion of Multiculturalism Award, and Verna Phillips, of Carrum Downs: Veteran Community Award.

An Age-Friendly Victoria Award went to Peninsula Transport Assist which provides transport for older people in an area described as having “very little public transport”.

The Governor, Linda Dessau AM, and Housing Disability and Ageing Minister Martin Foley hosted the day in which Echuca’s Gwen Smith was named Victoria’s Senior of the Year.

The various category winners, aged 67-90, from all over Victoria, are described as a diverse group of leaders, role models, advocates and participants in many volunteer activities in their communities.

“Seniors make an incredible contribution to our community – and testament to that are the many worthy nominations we received from across Victoria,” Mr Foley said.

“Congratulations to all the award recipients today and thank you for your dedication and commitment to your communities.

“We are proud to support these awards which are a fitting part of the 34th Victorian Seniors Festival.”

Uninvited bees find new home IT wasn’t as dramatic as a fire, but Mornington fire station officer Simon Mildren was only too happy to respond to a call out of an unusual nature last week.

A swarm of bees had made themselves at home on the front doorstep of a Mt Martha home and the owners – with young children – were a little nervous about them staying.

Unsure who to contact, they alerted the brigade who arrived with a camera to make an educational documentary for similar occasions.

Mr Mildren said swarms at this time of year were normal and, if left undisturbed, were relatively harmless.

“This is hard for people to compre-

hend because a swarm is often noisy, however, it is important to know that they are just looking for somewhere to settle and make a new home,” he said.

The station officer became interested in beekeeping several years ago as a way of making his favourite honey wheat beer. He has his own hive and happily added the Mt Martha bees to it.

Fortunately, they all integrated well.

“Bees are social creatures who usually venture three-five kilometres from home in search of pollen,” he said.

“In this case, we were keen to support the family and, also, to save the hive and prevent it from being exterminated.”

The bees, with their queen safely pro-

tected in the middle of the swarm, were quickly rehoused into a plastic box – but not before the smell of the bees’ attack pheromone put him on high alert.

Then it was back to the station and on to Mr Mildren’s Macclesfield home in the morning.

“If you come across a swarm of bees you should leave them alone and contact your local council who maintains a list of beekeepers for this purpose,” he said.

“It is best to leave swarm management to trained beekeepers so that no one – including the bees – gets hurt.”

The film of the bee rescue can be seen on the CFA website, as well as an information brochure on beekeeping.

Bee-line: Steady hands as Simon Mildren prepares to relocate this Mt Martha hive.

Burglars raid sporting clubs A WAVE of night-time burglaries at small sporting and leisure clubs across the Mornington Peninsula has members on high alert.

Detective Senior Sergeant Peter Drake, of Mornington Peninsula CIU, said more than a dozen robberies had occurred at clubhouses at Rosebud, Dromana, Balnarring, Mt Martha, Merricks, Crib Point, Mornington, Flinders, Red Hill and Hastings.

“They may be connected but we are not certain at this stage,” he said.

“They are a warning that club officers should check their security and make sure windows and doors are locked, and that CCTV is installed where possible.”

Flinders Cricket Club was hit three times in September, with thieves forcing a window and accessing the bar area where they cut a small padlock and stole $200 from a till, as well as taking a coffee machine, TV set and boxes of cricket balls from a

locked cabinet – a total haul of $1200. In one raid they attempted to jemmy a window causing extensive damage to the frame as well as a roller door at the Stokes St premises.

Member David Hunt said that after the first robbery, a member quipped that thieves might come back again and pinch the TV – and they did!”

He said the club had approached the shire to have an alarm installed, but had so far been unsuccessful.

“If they helped us put in an alarm that could alert our mobile phones we wouldn’t need to do anything [in the event of a robbery] other than drive over and watch until police arrived.

“Or even if the police drove around at night it would be a deterrent.”

Flinders Golf Club reportedly was burgled around the same time but nothing was stolen. Thieves stole two saddles and a chainsaw valued at $3600 from Truemans Golf Driving Range, Fingal, overnight

Monday 9 August. A man with a torch was seen at the property. He drove off in a small white sedan.

A keysafe at Mt Martha Tennis Club was broken into and a small safe with $30 stolen, after clubroom cupboards were searched, Thursday 22 September.

Music equipment including two Pioneer DJ turntables, amplifiers and microphones valued at more than $3000 were stolen from the Red Hill Football Club, 14-16 September, following a previous raid in August when $2000 in liquor was taken. Thieves ransacked the clubrooms after wrenching open double doors to enter the building.

Vice-president Harry Byrt said the club was a “soft target” for thieves. “Because we are in an isolated position, even if the alarm did go off it would take 20 minutes for the police to get here,” he said.

“We need CCTV cameras to catch people’s faces or number plates.”

St Andrews Beach Golf Club was broken into

and power tools valued at $600 stolen, overnight Sunday 2 October. Thieves used bolt cutters to cut padlocks on a garden shed. CCTV footage shows two men and a woman with a torch on the premises at 3am.

“We are upping patrols in these areas to help catch these offenders,” Detective Drake said.

Burglars are not only targeting sporting clubs: A cigarette vending machine valued at $6000 was stolen from the Kings Creek Hotel, Frankston-Flinders Rd, Hastings, overnight 27 September.

Detective Drake said the thieves broke in through a smokers’ area window and wheeled the machine, containing an unknown quantity of cigarettes, out to a dark-coloured utility in the car park.

CCTV shows one wearing an orange fluoro jacket and olive pants; the other a blue hoodie and jeans.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

BECOM A MEM E BER FOR $2 A RA C E!

New foster care model trialled Fireys offer MORNINGTON Peninsula and Frankston foster carers may soon have the opportunity to transform the way vulnerable children and young people are supported under a new model of foster care.

Under the internationally-recognised model, professionalised foster carers will be trained to provide intensive support for children and young people who experience significant emotional or behavioural problems.

The state government is investing

$5.6 million to trial a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Treatment Foster Care Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program, which supports the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s child protection and family services system and aims to keep young people out of residential care.

Professionalised foster carers will work with at least 28 children over two years, under the guidance of a team of practitioners who provide weekly training and support.

More than $20 million for nine specific initiatives will be tested in southern Victoria.

OzChild and Anglicare Victoria will recruit and train carers to deliver the program in the bayside, peninsula and southern Melbourne areas. There will be at least 14 new, professionalised foster care placements a year, with OzChild to focus on children aged 7-11 years and Anglicare working with young people aged 12-18 years.

The model has been successful in New York, where figures show it has reduced the number of children and young people in residential care.

State Families and Children Minister Jenny Mikakos said the model has the potential to completely transform the way vulnerable children and young people are supported, with â&#x20AC;&#x153;life-changing impactâ&#x20AC;?.

Anglicare Victoria CEO Paul McDonald said it was expected that the majority of children and young people would be reunited with their families, where safe, or supported to reach their full potential â&#x20AC;&#x153;with loving kinship or foster care familiesâ&#x20AC;?.

Zombies unleashed on line Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au IF you see hordes of shambling bloodsplattered hordes near train stations in the next few weeks there may be no need to call police or protective services officers for help.

The mob may be dressed and made up as zombies as part of an independent short movie project called Benedict being filmed in Melbourne and its suburbs.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ghoulish sight familiar to fans of TV show The Walking Dead but is slightly less common along the Frankston line.

Zombies shuffled along to Mordialloc on a Sunday morning last month (18 September) to film some scenes under the railway bridge next to Mordialloc Creek.

Bonbeach actor Rick Vaveliuk, 38, was one of the few, in his role as the titular Benedict, not infected by a zombie plague so still had the brainssss to tell The News about filming at Mordialloc for the spin-off prequel from another independent film due for release next year called The Last Hope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The scene was set in Europe where the outbreak begins so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six months before the events in The Last Hope,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an escape scene at the train station so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we used the tunnel and that part of Mordialloc because it fit the setting perfectly.â&#x20AC;?

He said there were about 30 people on the makeshift set, â&#x20AC;&#x153;mostly zombies and a few civiliansâ&#x20AC;?.

Approval for the early morning shoot was approved by Kingston Council, police, emergency services and Metro Trains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was very helpful,â&#x20AC;? Vaveliuk said.

The actor says he also shot scenes in Mentone, Brunswick and Doveton and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m spitting out all these little short

movies for practiceâ&#x20AC;?.

A shorter version of Benedict is online on YouTube now and the scene filmed at Mordialloc will be added to â&#x20AC;&#x153;an extended directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cutâ&#x20AC;?.

Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big brother film feature The Last Hope, written and directed

by St Kilda resident Leigh Ormsby, is a zombie tale with a modern Australian twist.

The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s synopsis reveals: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The world has been devastated by the virus that has reanimated the dead to consume the living. Australia has so far remained unscathed through a brutal border protection policy and internment facilities.â&#x20AC;?

As is the custom in such films, all hell breaks loose, this time due to the arrival of â&#x20AC;&#x153;a mysterious girlâ&#x20AC;? and an uprising at a detention centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will Australia, the last hope for many, finally fall?â&#x20AC;? the synopsis asks.

The short film was partly financed by its makers via Pozible crowdfunding campaigns.

Its modest budget aims to take some sharp shots at Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and is billed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a metaphor for everyone who sees Australia for what it is.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Australians, our country is a beacon of hope for many due to our high living standards, the fact we are so connected to the world, yet so isolated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For anyone who lives here, there is hope that you can become someone. For people wishing to live here, Australia is a land of hope and freedom. But what happens when that hope is stripped away for both those wanting to come here and for those that already living here? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, zombies are cool and who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love a good zombie film?!â&#x20AC;?

Benedict and The Last Hope will both be released like a zombie virus next year and its makers hope they spread quickly online.

heart help

FIREFIGHTERS will be assisting paramedics at Frankston, Rosebud and Patterson River after the launch of an initiative to boost emergency responses to heart attack calls.

The three stations are among five to receive the new Emergency Medical Response (EMR) program, which will also operate at Pakenham and Traralgon.

Data from Ambulance Victoria shows the number of Victorians suffering heart attacks increased to a ten-year high last year.

Firefighters at the five fire stations will now be dispatched to respond to triple zero calls for heart attack and non-breathing patients at the same time as paramedics.

CFA and Ambulance Victoria trialled the program in 2011 and found it significantly improved response times and helped increase survival rates of heart attack patients.

The five stations have been upgraded with emergency medical response equipment and defibrillators have been installed in the fire trucks. The firefighters have received specialist training to provide basic life support and give CPR. The EMR program at all 35 integrated CFA stations around the state, with 15 integrated stations now providing emergency medical responses. It is also in operation in the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, which has successfully provided the critical first responder services since 2000.

Emergency Services Minister James Merlino and Ambulance Services Minister Jill Hennessey visited the Frankston Fire Station on Monday (3 October) to launch the service.

Mr Merlino said training firefighters to respond to heart attacks will help support paramedics and deliver faster emergency medical response times for growing communities.

tions but believed the AFL clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board and management were more consultative than the previous administration that decided to quit Moorabbin and head to Seaford in 2010 over a dispute with Kingston Council around pokies.

Saints CEO Matt Finnis addressed last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting and said he hoped the club could rebuild links with the Kingston community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want it to be a vibrant place the community can be proud of.â&#x20AC;?

Southern Football Netball League, South Metro Junior League, Sandringham Dragons and AFL Victoria will also use the redeveloped facility due to begin construction next year.

UN O IT NL S Y AV F AI EW LA BL E

THE Saints are definitely marching back in to Moorabbin. Kingston councillors at a special public council meeting last month unanimously voted to approve the planning application, after much debate, for the $28.4 million redevelopment of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Linton St premises.

The approval followed councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to approve a 50-year lease at Linton St including an 84 per cent reduction in building rent.

Objectors to the redevelopment of the oval and function centre at Linton St have concerns over increased traffic,

the impact of lighting towers on nearby homes and the loss of trees since the venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footprint will increase in size.

An all-year round 1am licence for pokies and 2am licence for the function room could also cause noise problems for nearby residents according to objectors.

A proposal by Cr Rosemary West to ask St Kilda Football Club to reduce the number of pokies machines at the venue from 83 and move them away from the social clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance was defeated.

Punters lost $2,223,654 in 2015-16 at the venue in 2015-16 compared to $2,294,691 in 2014-15.

Open garden for Ugandan cause THERE are plenty of reasons to visit the beautiful, carefully nurtured native garden of Mt Martha residents Cate and Chris Jaede, but none better than to help the impoverished children living in Ugandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slums.

Mrs Jaede has been raising money for the charity Kwaya Australia for several years and will take a self-funded trip to the east African country next year to assist with programs in the villages and schools.

She said volunteers who visit and support the Ugandan orphanages must pay their own way, and all the money raised goes directly to support the programs and students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are certainly not wealthy people, but doing this is something we strongly believe in and we love seeing the students prosper,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Kwaya Australia is affiliated with The African Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choir (ACC), which supports students from the slums to attend school and university and give them a future out of poverty.

Mrs Jaede said most of the students go on to study courses at university level which allow them to go back into their villages and provide services and support for their communities.

Earlier this year the Jaedeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hosted a group of 20 graduates from the ACC, who spent a week on the peninsula to raise money for their university education by entertaining residents with their uplifting world music.

The Jaedeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magnificent garden, which they spent 12 years creating from scratch, will be open on Saturday and Sunday, 5 and 6 November, from 10am-4pm.

Light refreshments will be available, and Richard Anderson from Merricks Nursery will provide advice and have plants for sale.

The open garden will be held at 38 Ellerina Road, Mt Martha. Entry is $5, and all proceeds go to Kwaya Uganda to help with volunteer work in the slums.

Running up to bring the toll down WHEN more than 2000 people gather at the foot of Arthurs Seat on Sunday 6 November, one group will stand out from the rest.

They will be wearing the black and blue running shirts of the Nicholas Lynch Real Estate team, which has sponsored the annual challenge for the past eight years.

Proprietor Nicholas has run the 6.7 kilometre course six times, while son Brodie won his category over the past two years, and Abbey Brady, daughter of the company’s client services manager Jo Brady, won in her category last year.

“This is something we’re very passionate about,” Mr Lynch said.

“I’ve always believed in the importance of involvement in community sport. This event also adds the aspect of road safety fundraising, which makes it even more worthwhile.

“Most of the staff at Nicholas Lynch Real Estate are parents, so, on a personal level, we understand the importance of driver education for our youth.”

Last year, Nicholas Lynch Real Estate staff and families made up about 30 participants in the race. This time they are hoping for closer to 40 – all wearing the company logo on their shirts.

In 2014, as a show of continued support for the event, the company paid for more than 200 competitors to register.

“We paid the registrations to increase awareness of the event,” Mr Lynch said.

“Those people have discovered how much fun and how rewarding it is, and have gone on to participate on their own accord since then.”

Arthurs Seat Challenge funds the Fit2Drive program which delivers peer facilitated workshops to Year 11 students at schools and community settings across the state.

The program aims to provide young drivers and their passengers with better decision-making capabilities to cope with difficult driving situations.

Transport Accident Commission chief executive officer Joe Calafiore supports the campaign and also congratulates the Mornington Peninsula Shire for being the first Towards Zero municipality with its range of road safety initiatives.

“Towards Zero is not just a campaign or vision – it defines our approach to saving lives and we’re thrilled that the people of the Mornington Peninsula have embraced the posi-

tive approach to road safety,” he said.

“From 2011-15, on average 22 per cent of all drivers killed in Victoria were aged 18-25 – despite the group representing just 14 per cent of all Victorian licence holders,” Mr Calafiore said.

As for Nicholas Lynch, who recently celebrated his 47th birthday by going for a 47 kilometre run, he’ll be there again – running up Arthurs Seat for a great cause.

To register for the family friendly event go to arthursseatchallenge.com. au or call 0412 947 609.

Age no barrier for this music man AT 90, Sidney Cartlidge deserves a well-earned rest and could be forgiven for hanging up his harmonica.

But the music has not stopped for the sprightly nonagenarian, who still enjoys entertaining others and can be found regularly delivering “music therapy” and playing tunes at aged care homes around Mornington.

A harmonica player since he was 10 in Staffordshire, England, Mr Cartlidge’s love of music and enthusiasm for performing have not waned over the years, despite a forced hiatus in 2014 when he and his musician mates had to seek a new venue. At the time, the self-funded concerts he performed at the Morven Manor retirement village were so popular and the crowds so large that the band literally outgrew their welcome and had to start looking for a new venue with more parking spaces.

Two years later Mr Cartlidge is still performing at aged care centres around the peninsula and still believes music therapy is the best medicine for all people in “their retirement years”.

“It brings new friendships and extends the desire to get involved with many senior activities on the Mornington region,” he said.

Mr Cartlidge firmly believes that brain functions such as knowledge and understanding are enhanced as people age, and that these open up new activities and opportunities.

Hs determination to stay involved and be active is testament to that philosophy.

At his home at Morven Manor “Sid” has a range of harmonicas to cover different events, a keyboard and his “latest find”, a Technics theatre organ.

His repertoire is arranged to provide songs that relate to “the golden age” - great music of bygone days, including When Irish Eyes Are Smiling, Music from Amsterdam, It’s a Long Way to Tipperary, and Waltzing Matilda.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Proudly losing my marbles

By Stuart McCullough He tried. That’s the long and the short of it. With great persistence and determination, my father did his utmost to turn me into a well-rounded human being. That I have ended up with more angles than The Yellow Peril can hardly be his fault. Instead of developing an array of hobbies and interests, I succeeded in absorbing the tiny pieces of information that any one else would rightly regard as useless. If you’re heading to a pub trivia night, I’m your guy. But if you’re looking to shoot the breeze with someone who has a catalogue of fascinating pastimes, look elsewhere.

Stamps. As odd as it may sound to anyone under twenty, people used to collect stamps. These were the little artworks that occupied the upper right hand corner of an envelope that, assuming you’d done your sums correctly, ensured your letter would be delivered to its intended destination.

This was back before email was invented and the Iced Vo Vo was still the pinnacle of luxury.

My father collected stamps as a child and assumed that I’d share his enthusiasm. Instead, I repaid this paternal attempt to foster an interest in philately as if he’d invited me to a trip to the dentist in a world without anesthesia. Perhaps it was because I never knew when it would come up.

Randomly and without warning he’d suggest we should gather around the kitchen table and curate our stamp albums instead of sitting inertly in front of the television letting our minds turn

to fairy floss. This attempted intrusion into prime-time viewing was always greeted with horror. Not that this dissuaded my father.

For as long as I can remember, the windowsill above the sink had a small glass of water in which the ripped right corner of an envelope was left to soak, to separate the envelope from the stamp. Come to think of it, I couldn’t even tell you what became of all those liberated stamps. Given the volume they would have occupied dozens and dozens of albums. I’m not sure they ever got that far. I suspect that the ritual of tearing the envelope and soaking the stamp was more important than where they ended up. For decades, my stamp album sat on the shelf of my father’s study. I suspect

it’s still there. Despite the fact that it probably hasn’t had a stamp added to it since 1978, my father has kept it.

In the highly improbable event that I change my mind and decide to collect stamps again, my father will be ready.

I wish I could say that it was only stamp collecting that I tried, failed and discarded. Fact is, there were so many other abortive attempts at hobbies that never really went anywhere, the remains of which are crammed into boxes and the far inaccessible corners of closets. By failing at stamp collecting, I never progressed to coins, pinball machines and sneakers like my brothers did. They have collected all manner of things. I was immune.

In fact, my parents were so worried at my seeming disinterest in everything

that they panicked and suggested I collect rocks.

When it comes to rock collecting, there are upsides and downsides. That you never have to feed them, water them or take them for a walk lest they should go stir crazy and start eating the furniture is a very good thing indeed.

Given that every plant I have ever owned has inevitably come to grief by way of neglect, the ‘low maintenance’ status of rocks is pretty useful.

But, then again, they’re not much in the way of company. In fact, even if you want to go for a walk around the neighborhood with your pet rock, you can’t. Or you can, that is, but it’s going to weigh you down somewhat.

The rocks I collected occupied an entire shelf; far more space than the

stamp album ever did. Not only did they soak up valuable real estate on my bookshelf, rocks became my presumptive souvenir and birthday gift.

Imagine unwrapping a piece of granite for Christmas. It was, in a word, underwhelming. Often, though, I had only myself to blame. Family holidays usually ended up in a gift shop of some description where we were always given five minutes and as many dollars to select something. My siblings had far better taste than I did and always emerged with something on the far side of awesome. I, on the other hand, only every secured a handful of pebbles. When it became apparent that my interest in rocks was waning, talk turned to marbles.

There’s little I can say about marbles. My father seemed excited if not proud of his marbles. He explained that he’d collected these as a child and that they’d been a near-inexhaustible source of pleasure. He handed them too me as though they were treasure.

Doubtless, he would have extolled the virtues of Aggies and Red Devils and the other members of the marble family. I, of course, promptly misplaced them. I am the very opposite of a collector – displacement is more my thing. Perhaps it’s okay to not be well rounded. Maybe there’s a certain pride you can take in being a hexagon, pentangle or nonagon. Forget smooth corners; edges matter in this world.

But that being said, should you find my marbles, feel free to return them. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

JAMES REYNE & BAND James was a member of Australian Crawl for seven years, releasing four studio albums in five frenetic years in the ’80s. He’s been a solo artist for the past 28 years, releasing eight studio albums, plus two acoustic collections, a covers album and two live albums... He has been a part of our lives since making an unforgettable debut on Countdown in 1979.

“I just feel that I’m getting better,” James Reyne says. “I’m a better singer and a better songwriter.”

It’s a simple statement, but also remarkable – considering that this is an artist who has sold more than two million albums and written some of the most memorable Australian songs of all time.

But as critic Ed Nimmervoll – who has followed James’ career since it started – remarked when he reviewed James’ 2012 album, Thirteen: “He’s a better singer

today than ever, better songwriter, better lyricist. Every track on Thirteen tells you how important all three of those aspects of his craft are to him.”

James Reyne’s songs have provided the soundtrack to endless Australian summers, including “The Boys Light Up”, “Reckless”, “Beautiful People”, “Lakeside”, “Daughters Of The Northern Coast”, “Fall Of Rome”, “Hammerhead”, “Motor’s Too Fast” and “Slave”.

James Reyne returns to the Chelsea Heights Hotel with special guests BOOM CRASH OPERA for 1 Show Only!! Friday 2nd December The night promises to deliver all of your favourites, from Crawl to now. It’s a night of hit after hit !

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Should Motherhood be paid for?

Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE war is revolutionising the position of women in the world.

In the excellent current number of “ Everylady’s Journal “ Spencer Brodney puts the case for the mothers.

His proposal—and it is not his alone, but that of many leading statesmen— is that motherhood should be endowed. In other words, the State should pay every mother, not a trivial £5 Baby Bonus to cover preliminary expenses, but a regular weekly sum of, say, 10s. or 12s., to enable her to feed, clothe, and educate the child properly.

She should be paid for every child up to a certain age.

The entire article is worth reading by every mother, even though the scheme may not appeal to every one as feasible.

Other articles in this issue of “Everylady’s Journal” for October deal with more practical and not less interesting problems of economical living.

On the lighter side, Madame Melba gives a detailed lesson in “Everylady’s Journal” on how to sing two of her favourite ballads, one of which is Tosti’s “ Good Bye.” Miss Mary Card is to the fore, as usual, with a very fine design for a linen crochet doyley; and there are several other attractive illustrated articles. ‘’ Everylady’s Journal” for October also includes scores of fashion designs, to say nothing of three or four free paper patterns. ***

MESSRS Adamson, Strettle and Co. will hold their usual sale at Tanti on Monday next, for which a good yarding is advertised. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason advertise a furniture sale to be held at their mart, Frankston on Saturday afternoon next. *** THE “Wattles” Club Plain and Fancy Dress Ball takes place on Wednesday next, in the Mechanics’ Hall, when it is anticipated that a most enjoyable evening will be the result of the gathering as well as a considerable addition to the funds of the Frankston Roll of Honor. *** AT the recent examinations of the associated Board of the Royal Academy and Royal College of Music, London, the following pupils of Miss T. Carter succeeded in gaining a pass. Primary Division - Lynette Utber, Alice Andrews, Eileen Utber. Lower Division - Beatrice Andrews. Rudiments of Music - Glorie Carter. *** A MOST interesting lecture was delivered by the Rev. E Tonkin on Tuesday evening last in the Frankston Methodist Church, entitled “Through Ally and Enemy Territory” , illustrated by a number of lantern slides.

The rev. gentleman was listened to very attentively by a most appreciative audience.

During that evening Miss Crosskell and Miss Heywood contributed items of harmony.

Refreshments were handed round at the conclusion of the lecture which were duly appreciated. *** WE take the following extract from the “Herald” of last week:— Zephuron who won the Grand National Steeple-chase of 1914 in such dashing style, ran his first race for about eighteen months in the Mooney Valley Steeple-chase and carried 11st 11lb into second place.

The good old chestnut has not forgotten how to jump and when he is thoroughly wound up he will undoubtely cause some trouble in cross country events, indeed on Saturday it looked as if Zephuron might win, for it was only in the final pinch that his lack of condition told. *** A VERY successful evening was held in the Frankston Hall, on Saturday night last, in connection with the forthcoming Queen Carnival, in aid of the Roman Catholic Church.

Considering the short time at their disposal for making arrangements, thie organizers should feel gratified at the splendid response.

Miss Spillane and Mr Sherridan as Secretary and President worked most enthusiastically and to their efforts a great deal of the success can be attributed.

Miss Daniels supplied the music, and the coffee supper was all that could be desired. *** THE meeting called for Monday evening in the Frankston Mechanics’

Hall, to promote the reply of “Yes”at the forthcoming Referendum was well attended, both sexes being well represented, and considerable interest was manifested in the proceedings.

The chair was occupied by Cr J. A. Alden (President of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings), Crs Oates and Plowman also occupied seats on the platform.

The chairman briefly introduced the speakers of the evening (Mr Gregory, barrister-at-law, and Mr Hugh Menzies), two gentlemen from the National Referendum Council, Melbourne.

Mr Gregory in opening his address read the Question which the people of Australia will answer on 28th of this month, “Are you in favor of the Government having in this grave emergency, the same compulsory powers over citizens in regard to requiring their military service for the term of the war, outside the Commonwealth as it now has in regard to military service within the Commonwealt ?”

He proposed to lay before them that evening some of the reasons why they should answer “Yes” on the 28th October.

He also read portions of the Defence Act, dealing with those who were liable to be called up at time of war.

Our Defence Act has provided thaat every male in the Commonwealth is liable to be called in defence of the Commonwealth, and the question is now asked “will you give the same answer to service outside the Commonwealth, as well as within it.”

When you consider the question there is no other logical course than to answer “’Yes.” For the first two years of the war the Germans were successful on every point, and marched from success to success, but fortunately, we just managed to hang on, and stop the complete annihilation of France, and now after 2 years we are in a position to put properly equipped armies into the field. Before we were ill prepared.

The importance to Australia is this, that if Germany conquered Europe, she would soon conquer England and when the day of the supremacy of the British fleet ended, the Germans would come to Australia.

It is difficult for us to realise that our homes are in danger but the British fleet is our only defence.

We would not long hold out if Germany conquered Europe.

If Germany can stick to what they have got no nation can possibly stand against them; they will be the most powerful nation that ever existed on the face of the earth.

If we are to procure safety we must so defeat Germany that no German will want to go to war again.

To do this we must have men. Every capable man must be prepared to go to the front and do their part. As soon as a man’s time has come he goes as a matter of course. And it is only by all the Allies working together that that end can be attained. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 14 October, 1916

Greenways Village: 40 years and still going strong GREENWAYS Village celebrated its 40th anniversary last week with a day of festivities.

On Thursday October 6 all the residents, staff and families got together to enjoy fun and laughter with entertainment by comedian and magician, Matt Hollywood.

Greenways Village has 150 residents who enjoyed a luncheon of finger food and drinks in the entertainment room, with the event catered for by Frankston International.

Manager, Lesley Hemingway, and owner, Robin Forster, spoke about the future plans for Greenways Village, which has gained a reputation as having a family environment.

Resident, Les Turner, who is 99 this year, gave a fine speech about his 30 years at Greenways Village.

Greenways is one of the longest established private sector retirement villages in Victoria and was established in 1976, the village was developed in three main stages over a number of years as additional land became available.

One of the first villages to be accredited by the Retirement Village Association of Australia the village meets the prescribed standards in respect of accommodation, village facilities, support services and, most importantly, management practices.

Greenways enjoys a very strong sense of community and pride in its long history and the lifestyle that has been created and sustained at the village.

Greenways Village is at 330 Frankston- Dandenong Road, Seaford.

Panthers get away to a flyer PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully PEARCEDALE has started its 2016-17 Provincial cricket season in fine fashion after knocking over last year’s minor premier, Crib Point, in Saturday’s season opener.

The Panthers have moved from Sub District to Provincial in the past two seasons after winning the past two premierships.

There was no bigger test than coming up against Crib Point in Round 1 in a one-day match on Saturday.

The Magpies won the toss and elected to bat on their home deck, scoring a defendable 5/162 against the new kids on the block.

The Panthers started well with Brad

Trotter (26) and Matt Cousland (28) getting them going, however, they then lost 3/5 to go from 0/45 to 3/50.

Brad Davidson took control with the ball and the field for the Magpies and got his side back into the contest.

However, with three overs to spare, Shayne Gillings (49no) and Max Blackburn (31) steered the Panthers to victory.

A massive innings of 89 from skipper Matt Foon helped Mornington to a thrilling win against Sorrento. His efforts with the bat supported his 2/38 with the ball.

The Doggies chased down Sorrento’s 6/159 with five overs to spare. Brad Lynch played a great supporting role for the Dogs with 36.

Pines recruit Damien Lawrence

smacked six fours and seven sixes on his way to 93 against Moorooduc.

Pines made a massive 9/208 against the home side. The Ducs replied with just 9/121 from 40 overs.

Nick Wilcox, Alex Coad and Pat Jackson all snared two wickets each for the Piners.

Langwarrin has started its campaign the same way it did last season, causing a major upset by beating Somerville in the last over of the day.

Teenage debutant Jai Elcock top scored with 37 for the Kangas at the top of the order in the chase, while Mal Coutts, Taylor Smith and Joel Bateman saw their team home after some early trouble.

The Eagles batted first and made 8/145 with Nick Marshall and Sean

Parker top scoring with 31 opening the innings.

Bateman was the best of the Kangas’ bowlers with 3/22 off 10 overs, while Matt and Jake Prosser claimed a couple of wickets each.

Peninsula Old Boys began its title defence with only a reasonable performance against Long Island, however, it was good enough to win.

The Old Boys were bowled out in the 39th over with Will Crowder top scoring with 33 in the total of 146.

Andrew Tweddle was the pick of the Islanders’ bowlers with 3/37 while Stuart Swift claimed a couple.

In the run chase, only three Long Island batsmen made it to double figures – Pete Connell with 33, Greg Lamb with 17 and Swift with 11. The home

side was bowled out for 100 in the 32nd over.

Adam Gailitis and James Labrooy picked-up 3/28 and 3/29 respectively.

Baxter and Mt Eliza are expected to be two sides vying for a top four finish.

Despite being bowled out for 108 with an over to spare, Baxter picked up the win.

Nick Baron was the best of the Mt Eliza bowlers with 4/24 while Daniel Warwick top scored with 38 for Baxter.

In reply, Chris Brittain was on fire for Baxter, snaring 6/28 off 10 overs to help bowl out Mt Eliza for just 91 after 40 overs.

Justin Grant top scored for the Mounties with 31.

Merifield blasts an impressive ton DISTRICT

By IT Gully RED Hill started its 2016-17 District season in fine fashion, making light work of Boneo.

The Hillmen batted first after winning the toss and scored 4/205, thanks largely to Matthew Merifield, who blasted the only ton of the round - 114.

Recruit Carl Robinson scored 23 on debut, as did Simon Dart. Robinson also took 1/31 from seven overs.

In reply, the Pandas could put together only 7/136 from its 40 overs.

Dart was superb opening the bowling, claiming 3/14 from five overs, while Glenn Collett was superb also with 1/20 from 10 overs with the new pill.

Flinders got its MPCA District season away to a flier on Saturday with a convincing 100-run win against Seaford.

Batting first, the Sharks put together a formidable total in its 40 overs, scoring 7/214.

Mitch Stansborough top scored for the visitors with 84, which included four fours and two sixes, while Brad Hogan-Keogh was just as convincing with 56. The pair took the Sharks from 3/68 to 4/164.

Dil Pageni was the pick of the Seaford bowlers with 3/57.

In reply, Seaford could muster just 9/104 from 40 overs. Sushant Gupta top scored for Seaford with 26 while Nick Simpendorfer hit 24.

Dwayne Field was at his evergreen

best for the Sharks with 3/15 from 10 overs.

Former Pines premiership captaincoach Ricky Ramsdale enjoyed his first win with his new club Delacombe Park, beating Main Ridge.

The Ridge were sent into bat and didn’t make the most of the small Parkers’ ground, scoring 5/174.

Matt Chasemore top scored for the Ridge with 48, recruit Shaun Foster hit 39 and Michael Holmes scored 32.

In reply, Jon Guthrie opened with 55 for the Parkers, Joel Malcolm contributed 39 and Travis O’Donnell hit 30.

The home side picked-up the winning runs, seven wickets down and with more than three overs to spare.

Rosebud picked-up the 12 points against Mt Martha.

The Reds batted first and scrambled to 8/139, Brett Wilkinson top scoring with 44 and skipper Mitchel Darville hitting 35.

Billy Quigley was the best of the Rosebud bowlers with 2/50 off 10 overs.

In reply, Rosebud lost just four wickets on their way to the win in the 38th over.

Jason Nagel opened with 38 for the Buds, while fellow opener Matt Maher scored 34.

Michael Clavin was the best of the Mt Martha bowlers with 2/16 off 10 overs.

Rye started the new season the way it finished the last, with a loss to Seaford Tigers.

The Demons scored 8/120 from its

40 overs, Beau Suffern top scoring with 32, while recruit Jarrod Saw debuted with 26.

Ash Mills was the best of the Tigers’ bowlers, claiming three wickets.

The Tigers reeled in the runs with nine overs to spare. Anthony Joel opened with 47 and Jon Plakourakis hit 24.

Baden Powell smacked Heatherhill, winning with five overs to spare.

The Braves batted first and hit a modest 9/136. Travis Kellerman top scored with 41.

Jason Hinde was the best of the Hills’ bowlers with 4/25.

In reply, the Hills were rolled for 84.

Rhys Elmi was superb with the ball with 6/31 from 10 overs.

New coach has an impact SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully NEW Hastings coach Rob Hearn has had an immediate impact on his new club, helping the Blues to a round one Sub District win against Ballam Park.

The former Mornington and Crib Point opening bat scored 57 at the top of the innings as the Blues reeled in the Knights’ modest total of 130 off 39.3 overs.

Jake Hewitt didn’t have an issue swapping a footy premiership medallion for the whites, hitting 39.

Isuru Dias (3/20) and Mitch Floyd (2/16) opened the bowling and picked up five wickets between them in their 10 overs each.

David Cross top scored for the Knights with 61 after crossing from Moorabbin West in the off-season. Jason Riley was the best of the bowlers with 3/25.

Recently relegated Carrum got just the start it was looking for against Frankston YCW, winning by 19 runs.

Josh Dent top scored for the Lions with 73 while Hayden Moulton opened with 41 in the total of 5/199.

In reply, the Stonecats started well with Lai Leaunoa hitting 83 and Mathew Lane scoring 31 batting at three.

The Lions bowlers did a good job to keep things tight, Brett Moulton the pick of them with 3/38.

Sunday 6 November 2016 016

Dromana has recorded a monster win over Skye.

The Hoppers batted first and made 5/215, skipper Jack Fowler scoring 45 while recruits Adam Ciavarella hit 47 and Kieren Voelkl scored 65.

Adrian Gallagher picked up all four Dromana wickets for just 41 runs off 10 overs.

In reply, Skye was bowled out for just 77 in 29.1 overs.

Zacc Klan then went to work for the winners with the ball, claiming 4/14 from eight overs.

Brent Murdoch got Balnarring off to the perfect start with a game high 74 runs in its win against Tyabb.

The Saints won the toss and batted first but lost a couple of early wickets before Chris Murphy (26) and Murdoch came to the crease. They scored 6/161 off 40 overs.

In reply, the Yabbies were restricted to 9/122 from 40 overs. Nick Taranto backed up his 2/46 with the ball with a top score of 32.

In the final game, Tootgarook recorded an early win against Carrum Downs.

Mark Snelling scored 51 and David Dervan 57 for the Cougars after they were sent in to bat.

AJ King made an immediate impression for his new club with 2/33, while Matt Whelan claimed 2/34.
