Councillors face election wipeout Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE votes are in, and Frankston Council is undergoing a major change.

Just one incumbent Frankston councillor was re-elected for the 20202024 term. Another eight candidates, a mixture of former councillors and new faces, will be sworn in imminently.

The VEC declared the results of the Frankston Council election on 4 November.

Cr Kris Bolam was the last man standing from the previous council term. Joining him as North-West Ward representatives are first-time councillors Steven Hughes and Sue Baker.

Council veteran Glenn Aitken and former mayor Michael O’Reilly both

ran to be re-elected in North-West Ward, but were defeated. Both received higher first preference votes than Sue Baker, but were eliminated after the redistribution of preferences.

In North-East Ward, Nathan Conroy was easily elected after receiving more than double the amount of first preferences than the next candidate.

Experienced councillor Colin Hampton received the second-highest tally

of first preference votes, but found himself booted from office after votes were redistributed in line with preferential voting rules.

Former councillors David Asker and Suzette Tayler were elected in North-East Ward.

In South Ward, former councillor Brad Hill was chosen with the highest first preference count, nearly one quarter of the vote. Claire Harvey was

the next elected, followed by Liam Hughes - a high school student. Liam Hughes is the son of new North-West Ward councillor Steven Hughes.

Steve Toms ran for re-election in South Ward, but ended up with less first preference votes than any of his opponents.

Virus test sites on the move TWO COVID-19 testing sites have been closed

by Peninsula Health.

The drive through testing site at FDBA Stadium in Seaford has been closed, and so has the walk-in clinic at John Madder Hall in Frankston Hospital.

To replace the two testing sites, a new clinic has been set up at the former site of the Frankston Tennis Club at Frankston Hospital.

The new site will operate from 8.30am to 6pm daily, and can be accessed by car via Yuille Street.

All ages can be tested, and no booking or GP referral is required.

Peninsula Health operations director of screening clinics, Jodi Foley, says it is “quick and easy to get tested” at the new site.

“If you’re coming to the Frankston Hospital screening clinic, we encourage you to make full use of the opening hours, and come throughout the day,” she said. “Once you have been tested, it is important to return home and isolate until you receive your negative result.

“Since January, Peninsula Health has conducted more than 90,000 COVID-19 tests,

including over 16,000 at the Basketball Stadium and more than 27,500 at John Madder Hall.

We’d like to say thank you to the Frankston District Basketball Association for the cooperation and support to allow us to use their stadium and the surrounding car park, as a drive-through testing location over recent months. We’d also like to acknowledge the support of Frankston City Council, Mornington Peninsula Shire, and Scouts Victoria, for enabling us to use their venues as testing sites.”

Peninsula Health acting executive director of medical services, Dr Shyaman Menon, said “please come forward and get tested at the first sign of any COVID-19 symptoms, however slight they may seem.”

“As Victorians move around more and start socialising it is important that people continue to come forward to get tested, so we can identify any cases of COVID-19 in the community and stop any potential spread of the virus,’ Dr Menon said.

Pool ready to reopen

New council offers ‘fresh perspectives’ Continued from Page 1 Frankston Council CEO Phil Cantillon said the new council makeup would “offer a positive mix of experience and fresh perspectives.”

“Our new council includes one incumbent, three who have served previously and five first-time councillors,” he said. “This is an exciting time for the city. Our councillors have such a diverse array of experience to draw on, to get the best outcomes for the com-

munity and I’m sure they can’t wait to get started.”

Kris Bolam, the only returning councillor from the previous term, also said he was looking forward to working with a new council.

“I feel the range and diversity of the new council is reflective of the changing demographics of Frankston as a bayside suburb. This is a good thing and I look forward to working with my colleagues to take Frankston forward,”

he said.

“I intend to dedicate this term to helping our community get back on its feet after what has been a volatile and unprecedented twelve months.”

Total voter turnout in Frankston was 79.35 per cent of eligible voters.

The last council term was marred by infighting and bad behaviour. Their issues came to a head when the state government appointed a monitor to write a report on council’s conduct.

THE Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre has finally reopened.

The pool began to accept visitors again on 9 November. Only 20 people are allowed in each area inside the centre for the time being.

Plans were put in place to reopen the gym floor with a capacity of 10, group exercises with a capacity of 10, the 50 metre pool with a capacity of 20, and the warm water pool with a capacity of 20.

A 5-week “Learn to Swim” program is also expected to begin on 16 November for the remainder of Term 4.

A statement from PARC read “thank you so much for your patience as we finalise all the details of our reopening plan. We will be confirming the final details of our reopen plan, including how to book, what to expect and details of our offering on Friday 6 November.”

“The inability to access learn to swim programs during lockdown is a significant and emerging safety risk.

Peninsula Leisure remains committed to ensuring every child in Frankston can swim, and as a result we have prioritised learn to swim programming.

“There is a lot to consider in relation to opening a centre as large as PARC, and we have been actively working with council to ensure that when we do open, we have the right processes in place to protect your safety. Thank you for your patience. We’re so excited about welcoming you back at PARC again next week.”

Campers locked out by MP Shire EAGER foreshore campers got a shock last week when Mornington Peninsula Shire pulled the pin on this year’s holidays.

The shire emailed those with bookings at its Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento campgrounds on Wednesday night (4 November) notifying them of its decision to postpone camping until February.

The 1136 campsites were expected to be available from the last weekend of October, in time for the Melbourne Cup weekend, until April. But a council risk assessment concluded it could not safely go ahead.

Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO John Baker said the postponement was the “right decision with restrictions still in place for the foreseeable future”.

“We concluded this was the most prudent approach after careful consideration of the state government’s coronavirus roadmap and to ensure the health and safety of all Victorians,” he said.

The decision could cost the shire up to $3 million in lost fees.

Foreshore camp grounds run by volunteer management committees at Dromana, Capel Sound and White Cliffs-Camerons Bight, are not affected by the shire’s decision and their websites indicate they will be open 19 December to 25 April.

AN ambulance involved in a crash in Seaford.

Ambulance crash AN ambulance was involved in a car crash in Seaford, Sunday 1 November.

At around 6.30pm, the ambulance was hit.

Nine reported that the vehicle that crashed into the ambulance was allegedly stolen. It was also reported that a patient was inside the ambulance at the time of the crash, who was later taken to Frankston Hospital.

The driver was arrested.

Family violence cases rising FAMILY violence is rising in Frankston, according to new figures

released by the Crime Statistics Agency.

The CSA released new statistics detailing the number of family incidents reported to Victoria Police.

In Frankston, the rate of reported incidents per 100,000 people stood at 153.7 in January of this year. By June it had risen to 174.6.

Reported family incidents in Frankston are up more 30 per cent in 2020 compared to the same time in 2019. The rate per 100,000 residents was 392.6 in Q2 2019, a number which rose to 510.6 in Q2 2020.

A statement from the CSA on the statewide figures read that “a key finding is that there was an increase in the number of victim survivors or clients aged 55 or older who accessed family violence services during the

second quarter of 2020.”

“Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria, Victims of Crime Helpline and specialist family violence and accommodation services through the homelessness data collection all recorded an increase in the number of victims or clients aged 55 years or older during the months where COVID-19 restrictions were in place.

“Victoria Police family incidents data indicated that more than half of incidents concerning a victim survivor aged 55 and older involved an aggressor who was the child (including adult children) of the victim. The number of family incidents involving a victim survivor in this age group where their child was the aggressor increased 20.2 per cent in the second quarter of 2020.”

Zooming good friends She moved to Melbourne during World War II and worked with the Country Women’s Association before marrying and, on retiring, moving to Mount Eliza 25 years ago.

Since moving into an aged care centre at Mornington, Ms Cooper has taken up painting and “enjoys the odd game of Bingo”, according to her daughter.

Ms Curry said Ms Fleming was the first female real estate agent in Frankston, having taken on her husbands’ business after he died at an early age.

“She succeeded in what was in those days a competitive man’s world, often causing a few comments,” Ms Curry said.

“Alongside her career she raised three children on her own, enjoyed sport and travel and, particularly, playing golf.”

Keith Platt

DISTANCE can be a barrier to friendship but, with new technology, staying in touch has never been easier.

Although Jo Cooper and Vi Fleming, both aged 103, live in aged care centres at Mornington and Frankston, the stay in touch on a regular basis.

Friends since meeting at Baxter Village, Frankston some years ago, the pair are great supporters of Zoom, the videotelephony and online chat service that has become an integral part of daily life during the coronavirus pandemic.

Ms Cooper’s daughter Joyce Curry says her mother and Ms Fleming are “tech savvy” and enjoy their “magical moments” on Zoom.

Ms Cooper, a descendent of early Sorrento settlers, went to school in that town where she worked as a cleaner and as a doctor’s receptionist.

GRAND LAUNCH

NEWS DESK

Funds to spruce up shopping strip FUNDING has been allocated towards improvement works at Excelsior Drive in Frankston North.

The state government and Frankston Council have contributed a combined $300,000 toward the project. Trees, garden beds, and footpaths are set to be added to the shopping strip.

Owner of Golden Bakery Ian Warren said the works would “improve the appeal of the area.”

“There are a lot of businesses here. My wife Le has owned the bakery for 17 years, and anything that helps people stay in their local area to shop, is a good thing,” he said.

“Attractive shrubs and evening out the footpath will definitely make the area more appealing which is great, because with what we’ve just been through with COVID, we’ve seen that shopping locally has a lot of benefits.”

On social media, Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said the funding would be “great news for traders who have experienced a Covid-19 downturn in trade.”

“Work on the project is expected to commence in March 2021 and will take around three months,” he said.

Saddened by tree loss I too was totally dismayed when I saw that the gums on the corner of Barkley Street and Waterloo Place, Mornington had been removed (“Town’s ‘best trees’ axed” The News 3/11/20).

Every time I walked past, I admired their beauty. They have been replaced by at times a food truck and then a pile of tables and chairs.

This behaviour from Mornington Peninsula Shire employees must stop. The shire has signed up to a climate emergency crisis commitment.

This includes the principle that decisions will be made as to their impact on our natural environment. It also includes the principle that decisions will be made in consultation with relevant community groups and individuals.

In my observation, these trees were not in “very poor health and close to death”. So, I would appreciate any details of the report into this matter.

Dale Halstead, Mornington

Fair go for dogs With due respect to residents who enjoy taking their children to the beach and don’t like dogs - many families love having their dog with them - or are unfortunate enough to suffer from a phobia of dogs, I wonder why they would choose the limited area of a dog beach to go when they have access to all beaches at all times (“Dog psychology” Letters 3/11/20).

I would also be interested to know how many ratepayers who own dogs would really appreciate more flexible hours on more prescribed dog beaches to exercise and meet friends?

No one is right or wrong in this debate, all dog owners are requesting is a fair go.

Julie Cornwell, Rosebud

Horse treatment At the risk of becoming as big a bore, I express the hope that The News will not permit Mimi Bekhechi from PETA to harangue readers

weekly with gratuitous letters decrying the way humans interact with animals (“End horse cruelty” Letters 3/11/20). Please spare us.

Michael Long, Frankston Editor: Irish stallion Anthony Van Dyck was put down after breaking down during this year’s Melbourne Cup and jockey Kerrin McEvoy was fined $50,000 and suspended for 13 meetings for breaching the whip rules on Tiger Moth.

Poll irregularities Here in [Mornington Peninsula Shire’s] Briars Ward, it was very noticeable that the Liberal Party was out in force, supporting three candidates (“Political pedigrees on show in council poll” The News 19/10/20).

I am aware of two other suspect events, one at an aged care centre and the other a retirement village in Mornington that only allowed Australia Post brochures to be distributed.

This I believe only enables candidates with unlimited resources to stand as postage is expensive.

If the operators of these centres are allowed to make arbitrary decisions, such as not allowing hand delivery of the other candidates’ brochures, this gives an unfair advantage.

Surely this should disenfranchise candidates and the residents living in these centres, as should all candidates, should be able to have their brochures appropriately distributed.

This information is surely needed to properly scrutinise each candidate’s intentions.

A nasty incident happened to me. I was supporting an independent candidate Janet Street and the A-frame sign which I had on my driveway for three weeks, with her posters attached to it, was stolen. Of course this happened in darkness on a Sunday night.

Denise Hassett, Mount Martha

Absurd belief

Activists’ roll call

I thought that “The Donald” was the master of the absurd conclusion based on a lack of evidence, but now I read that those of us located in Victoria and not killed by COVID-19 owe our lives to Daniel Andrews (“Premier praise” Letters 3/11/20).

How on earth did people in other parts of Australia manage without his protection, or that of his hotel security guards.

Just a little reminder. Australia has recorded 907 deaths from the pandemic, 819 of which were under Andrews’ aegis.

Ron Simpson, Mornington

Like Michael Long and John Hodgson calling for the avuncular John Cain to desist from his regular Liberal bashing, I want to know why he doesn’t get stuck into relevant peninsula issues that the supposed ratepayers’ and residents’ association of which he is chairman, is meant to be doing (“Memorable minister” Letters 3/11/20).

Mr Cain has been silent on urgent issues that poor disenfranchised non-Liberal loving concerned residents have had to battle very much on their own.

Thank goodness, volunteerism is alive and well on our threat peninsula. Citizens like Fred Crump interested in AGL’s appalling potential environmental smash and grab raid on Western Port; Janet Street’s personal crusade against Kaufland’s shopping centre land grab at the Mornington gateway and the efforts of Steven Karakitsos and the South Eastern Centre for Sustainability to stave off the New Zealand property developer attempting to annex heritage and culturally sensitive prime cliff top land in Mount Eliza for yet another foreign owned retirement village.

Mr Cain should either resign his control over the Rosebud-centric ratepayers’ and residents’ association or show guts, determination and Australian values and do something for the aforementioned non-Rosebud located community action groups.

Why should Mornington, Hastings and Mount Eliza be denied the association’s encouragement and support?

Ian Morrison, convenor MECA, public officer SECS and ex-member MPRRA

Here is the news Seeking the evening news on Wednesday after Cup day, I could not believe my eyes. Nearly all TV stations were saturated with an American election. Hours of it. Far worse and less entertaining or enlightening than any of the cooking, quiz, or no-talent shows. Totally useless. Such is Australia.

Meanwhile, China, the most valuable, influential and powerful country in our part of the world, plays lobster politics by refusing to even answer phone calls from our trade minister while placing black bans and tariffs on some of our exports.

Just letting us know that, if it took the whim, China could bring Australia to its knees overnight simply by importing no coal or iron and exporting to us no retail appliances, goods, clothing, machines, or anything else, including students.

The most significant local news is that our wrecked economy is to undergo a coffee shop-led recovery with councils enabling more coffee drinkers outdoors onto the footpaths and laneways (“Eating, a tasty way back into business” The News 3/11/20).

Surely I misunderstood it when I read that some car parking spaces at the front of cafes will be given over to dining tables? Surely not people eating over storm water open drains or gutters? Cars kept one or two metres away?

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Political confusion To declare politics a contest of ideas, is incorrect. Sadly, politics has been confused with educational institutions (“Hope for honesty” Letters 3/11/20).

Looming large post COVID is a true and honest democratic community linking all communities for our common good. Councillors must be fully accountable and take responsibility for their actions.

Vic Langsam, Frankston

WHAT'S NEW...

Sandford brings a new cool to Carrum Downs MELBOURNE’s in-demand suburb of Carrum Downs is set to welcome a brand new residential address of architecturally designed homes with the launch of Sandford, a boutique townhome community in the heart of Carrum Downs.

Developed by Modus Developments, Sandford is nestled amongst an established neighbourhood that boasts an array of amenity within close proximity to schools including Banyan Fields Primary and Carrum Downs Secondary college just minutes away.

Eight parks are peppered within 1km around Sandford and the homes are set among a secluded and picturesque green link of gardens. These green spaces connect to adjoining conservation parkland and Oakwood Drive Reserve playground, all bringing a sense of balance to the community and enabling residents to connect and unwind from their busy lives.

The homes themselves boast an array of turn key inclusions including high ceilings, large bedrooms, Silestone stone benchtops, timber floors on the ground level, full landscaping, blinds, freestanding baths (not all types) and in some designs inbuilt makeup stations in the master bedroom suites. The homes will be built

by Australia’s leading home builder Metricon TownLiving and offer a lifetime structural guarantee for peace of mind.

The launch of Sanford has been fast-tracked to enable buyers to take advantage of up to $35,000 in buyer grants, including the $25,000 federal government HomeBuilder Scheme plus the $10,000 First Homeowner Grant and no stamp duty for eligible

first home buyers.

“Sandford is one of the limited opportunities that is HomeBuilder eligible and its close to home” says Eli Mofkadi, Director of Modus Developments. “Buyers can secure their home with a 10% deposit, pay nothing further until the homes are complete in mid-2022 and get the Home Builder grant provided they sign up by 31 December 2020.”

Offering a range of townhomes designed by award winning Genton Architects, Sandford has something for everyone, from spacious 4-bedroom family homes situated adjacent to one of many of Sandford’s gardens, through to 2-bedroom low maintenance homes boasting an attractive price point for first home buyers.

“The opportunity for First Home buyers to buy a new home in an established suburb without having to wait for schools, shopping and parks is rare in Melbourne. Usually to buy a new home, first home buyers have to move further out and wait for the community assets to follow” Eli said. “What’s more the benefits for first home buyers doesn’t stop there - with the low deposit scheme and no stamp duty, these buyers can secure their dream home today with ample time to secure their finance for settlement in mid 2022.”

Located within an hour’s drive of the CBD with easy connection to transport links, and only ten minutes from Seaford Beach, Sandford sets a new standard for modern living with easy access to shopping, schools, sport and recreation facilities and more.

“With Sandford not only do you get a cool, quality-built home with all the trimmings, you get a fantastic

location to match. We’re confident that Sandford will impress a range of purchasers who are looking for a boutique neighbourhood, and we look forward to seeing the community grow as we welcome residents over the coming years,” Eli said.

Sandford’s First release is now selling, comprising 25 townhomes ranging in size from 159sqm to 201sqm and priced from $485,000.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Rail statistics point to Frankston being capital of the peninsula Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR Frank Stonite, The Heights, writes: “There is said to be considerable rivalry existing between Mornington and Frankston as to which should be regarded as the Peninsula’s capital.

An article – Facts and Figures – in your last issue, gives Frankston the right to the title.

Whereas Mornington had only 26,288 passenger bookings last year, Frankston had 114,420 – a difference of more than 88,000 and £3,000 revenue.

“In every way, those railway statistics specially proved the importance of Frankston as the vital centre.” *** ON Saturday evening, at the Anglican Bazaar, in aid of St. Paul’s Church, Frankston, Dr. C. Maxwell made a presentation to the Rev. A. P. McFarlane on behalf of the parishioners.

Mr McFarlane suitably responded in characteristic style. *** LANGWARRIN has added yet another spoke to its wheel of progress recently, by erecting a Church of England in that locality.

The opening takes place on Sunday, November 21st. Archdeacon Aickin, of Mornington, being the preacher selected for that honor.

A tea meeting, concert, and dance is also listed for the Monday following.

Mrs Gates is the president, and Mrs Marsh secretary. *** VERY few people are doing more to advertise Frankston as a seaside resort than Mr J. B. Jolly, who, by the way, is also a staunch supporter of “The Standard”.

As representative of the Vacuum Oil Co. Pty Ltd, Mr Jolly is on the move all the time, and when away never fails to sing Frankston’s praises.

Very good – its just what Frankston wants when we all copy Mr Jolly’s example, much good will result. *** ACCORDING to “The Herald”, the English batsman, Russell, made 666, 666, 669 in three hits against Perth.

Some score that, brothers !

What “The Herald” meant to say, was that Russell made nine in three hits, but the linotypist was thinking about “the beast” at the time. *** THEY are whispering it about that a local speculator, who truly believes Frankston to be the best seaside resort in Victoria, has already purchased and re-sold through his own individual efforts more than 100 building allotments in Frankston and Seaford.

In fact, the 130th was put through the Land Titles Office a day or two ago, and he is now waiting to secure another score of local blocks for sale in other parts of the State. *** THE Methodist people, during the past week, have been honored with a visit from Sister Bessie, who has visited the circuit in the interests of Home Missions.

On Sunday last, she conducted services at Frankston, Somerville, and Langwarrin, where her very instructive discourses were received with silent approbation.

During the week she conducted public meetings at Somerville, Hastings, Tyabb, and Langwarrin.

She speaks at Frankston to-night. ***

AS most people are aware, Cowes is Phillip Island’s capital.

As an isolated watering place of rare merit, Cowes is annually becoming more favored as an ideal resort distant from the city.

To Stony Point the distance is 45 miles, thence six miles across the bay by the “Genistra”.

It possesses two fine hotels, the Isle of Wight and the Phillip Island, whilst Mesdames Richardson, Burke, Kennon and McLardy conduct private establishments.

The lovely beaches, with fishing and shooting close by, make Phillip Island a very interesting “haven of rest”. *** “WHY, he’s making quite a pot out of that job”, so say the busybodies, when they desire to slate anyone interested in pushing along various movements and enterprises.

Much the same has been said about Mr H. Blaskett and the Band Pictures enterprise.

Naturally, he resents the libel, and asks us to publicly state that instead of making “a pot” out of it, he is, on the contrary, personally out of pocket over it. *** IN the presence of the unsuccessful candidate, one organiser, one policeman, one lady, one newspaper representative, and one other, Mr Mark Brody, on Monday last, duly declared the result of the poll in the Mornington electorate,viz: Downward 5001, Leadbeater 3309, a majority of 1692.

Mr Downward was not present, but Sergt Leadbeater thanked the electors, and offered his congratulations to Mr Downward.

*** THE Italian musician, the late Signor Roccantonio Di Gilio, who died in July last, left estate valued at £59,273.

He left £350 to charities, and £200 to the town of Marsieovetore, Italy, for the purpose of erecting a drinking fountain in that town to his memory.

A bungalow at Frankston – “Sunnyside” in Nolan Street, occupied by Mr Moore – belonging to the deceased is to be sold by Cranny, Sambell & Co. and Mr J. Nott Marsh on November 18th. *** MAJOR Conder, O.B.E. and Mr W. Crawford Young, Editor of “The Standard,” have been invited as the guests of the directors of the Vacuum Oil Co. Pty Ltd at the company’s first annual picnic at Mornington.

It is also expected that the members of the Mornington Shire Council will partake of the directors’ hospitality.

“The Boss” will have charge of the pistol for the athletic sports. *** ADVERTISING is the source of life so far as business is concerned.

Advertising made Sir Thomas Beecham, it made Sir Thomas Lipton, and Sir William Lever, too – Beecham’s pills, Lipton’s tea, and Sunlight soap are all the outcomes of successful advertising.

Do YOU use “The Standard” as the means of reaching the local people?

If not, seriously consider it.

Trying to do business without advertising is like a man winking at a girl in the dark! *** “THE Standard’s” advice as regards local industries is “support them to the utmost.”

A correspondent sends praise of the product of Addicott’s Cordial Factory, Frankston, and ventures the opinion that no city manufactured cordials are anywhere near as good as the local product.

We appreciate the sentiment.

But why shouldn’t the local production be as good as the city product? *** THE Band Pictures propose to undertake vaudeville acts of the right sort, and have already booked some fine acts.

Tomorrow night, Oliver & Lynch, direct from the St Kilda Theatre, and Miss Parsons, a serio and danseuse, from the King’s Theatre, will appear.

Oliver & Lynch are a very lively couple, and people who cannot laugh without getting ill are advised to keep away!

On November 13th the artists will be those gifted variety musicians, Stewart and Smith, the harmonising, dancing Donovans, and a 30-minute mystifying act entitled “Spiritualism Exposed.”

In order to make the show go with a swing, Mr Blaskett is taking over the stage management, whilst Mr Gunn, of Melbourne, will in future undertake the operating.

A prominent disciple of the Law, who practises in the Supreme Court, has lately enjoyed a motor jaunt to the Mornington Peninsula.

Being a motor enthusiast, he was greatly pleased with the premises and appointments of the Peninsula Motor garages at Frankston and Mornington.

“They are easily the best outside the city,” he says. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 5 November 1920

Madafferi eyes top NPL spot SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FEW players have confronted personal trauma and overcome such enormous hurdles as Langwarrin left-back Jaiden Madafferi.

The 21-year-old was just seven on 5 November 2006 when his father Peter, 44, died suddenly.

Peter Madafferi was president of Carrum United, the forerunner of Skye United.

He left behind Jaiden, older brother Anthony and their mother Karyn.

“It was hard because my brother and I were both young,” said Jaiden Madafferi.

“Mum has brought us up to where we are now and done it all herself.

“All credit to her – she has been phenomenal.”

Jaiden had started playing as a junior at Carrum United but when he was 11 he switched to Peninsula Strikers.

Two years later the entire team switched to South Melbourne at under-14 level for a further two seasons then to Richmond for a season and finally to Bentleigh Greens.

At Bentleigh Madafferi made the switch from an attacking midfielder to left back.

It was 2014 and the then 15-year-old was captaining the club’s under-16s as his reputation as a gifted junior continued to grow.

But life for the Madafferi family took another traumatic twist on 23 August that year.

Jaiden was at a party when he became the victim of an unprovoked, one-punch attack.

He had to be placed in an induced coma and his mother and brother were told to expect the worst.

“At first my mother was told that I might not make it,” Madafferi said.

“Then it went to not being able to walk then it became I wouldn’t play soccer again but in the end I ticked all the boxes.

“I had very good support and had people with me every day and having people there wanting you to get better was a big thing.

“It helps your mind a lot.

“On the physical side of things I was told my fitness played a big part in my recovery and if I hadn’t been so fit then how I ended up could have been a whole different story.”

Courageous comeback: Langwarrin leftback Jaiden Madafferi in NPL2 action at Lawton Park last year.

Picture: John Punshon

Madafferi spent eight weeks in The Royal Children’s Hospital and eight months away from the sport he loved but on Friday 24 April 2015 a remarkable comeback was complete.

He was in the Bentleigh under-20s now coached by current Frankston Pines gaffer Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor.

“I came off the bench for Bentleigh against Port Melbourne for about 15 minutes,” he said in a matter-of-fact manner.

For Taylor that moment was a career highlight.

“Without a doubt that was one of my biggest thrills in football telling Jaiden to get ready because he was going to go on,” Taylor said.

Madafferi has much to thank Taylor for.

“He was phenomenal for me.

“Obviously he gave me my first game back but it was the way he stood by me, had faith in me and being made captain under him was an honour.

“He played a big role in me getting back my confidence on the field.”

Madafferi and his teammates won the under-20 title that year but the following season the youngster was wearing Melbourne City colours and starting a two-year stint with the ALeague outfit.

At City Madafferi played in the national youth league and the NPL and was coached by Joe Palatsides, Lachlan Armstrong and Patrick Kisnorbo.

“They taught me things I didn’t know before, just very minor technical details and they were very professional.

“The intensity at training is second to none and so is the workrate they demand.”

Madafferi was on the move once more when the 2018 season dawned having joined Northcote along with many of his City teammates.

“I sort of wanted to step away from the youths a bit and to challenge myself.

“I think there were about eight of us who went across to Northcote.”

Partway through that season Langwarrin contacted him but he wasn’t keen to move straight away.

“I was a young player in my first season at Northcote and I didn’t want to get a name for jumping around (clubs) so I said I’d talk to them at the end of the season.”

Madafferi joined the Langy senior

squad in November 2018 as part of a developing group under new head coach Scott Miller.

A fourth-placed finish in NPL2 in Madafferi’s first season at Lawton Park secured the club’s league status for the season that never was in 2020.

However that 2019 season was important for the squad’s development and Madafferi hopes that we’ll see the benefits next year.

He’s also keen for what should be a break with tradition as Langwarrin switches to playing home games at night.

The club is the benefactor of a $500,000 floodlighting project jointly funded by the state government and council and due for completion by April next year.

“I’m really looking forward to being able to play under lights on a Saturday night with all the peninsula down there.

“Just think about it – Saturday night with a good crowd.

“It couldn’t get much better.”

Aside that is from taking the club to the highest level in Victorian soccer and Madafferi sees that as a distinct possibility.

“I think we are capable of going up one more step,” he said.

“Playing under Scott is very much like playing under the Melbourne City coaches because he’s very professional in the way he goes about things and what he demands from the players.

“Obviously in 2019 we had a new squad and it can take time to gel.

“We’ve got a good squad and we’ve got a lot of good younger players.

“That’s the other thing about Scott – he’s got faith in younger players.

“I think we’ve gelled a lot more now and hopefully we can come back after this break and take it from there.”

Gaudray said race riding and riding trackwork daily continues to help with her fitness as well as exercising out of work and jumping on the mechanical horse a couple of times a week.

Whatever the budding apprentice is doing, it seems to be working, as she picked up her third win at Echuca three day’s after riding her double.

Gaudray is booked for three rides at Moe on Monday, with two of them, Pufnstuf (race six) and Wild Cherry Road (race eight), opening up as favourites.

it was another two months before I was race riding again.”

Despite the setbacks, Gaudray’s confidence has never wavered but she said it has certainly taken a toll on her fitness levels.

“I love it that much that it’s not going to scare me that easily. I’m normally a pretty confident rider, I just kind of hop on anything,” she said. “It’s actually taken me a long time to get my fitness to where it is right now and it’s still not even close to being where I want it. After each injury it just goes right back down to the bottom and it

into me and without him I definitely wouldn’t be where I am. He and Cheryl have both been a great help with my whole career.”

It hasn’t been the smoothest of starts to Gaudray’s riding career though, with multiple injuries occurring along the way.

“It took me a long time to get to the races,” she said. “I broke my hand, I broke my foot, I broke my knee and then on my fourth race ride I fell off and fractured my back and my knee and then I finally got going again. I was off for six weeks after the fall and

great but two just made my day.”

Having been under the tutelage of Mornington-based trainer Pat Carey for the past two years, Gaudray said it was amazing to be able to ride her first winner for someone who has had a massive influence on her career.

“Pretty much my whole riding career is because of Pat,” she said. “He took me from someone who pretty much only did equestrian riding and he started me from scratch on the pony. It was really hard to find a trainer that was actually willing to take you on from scratch. Pat put a lot of time

By Ben Triandafillou AFTER suffering setback after setback, Mornington-based apprentice jockey Celine Gaudray has managed to not only ride her first winner, but notch up a winning double at Traralgon on Saturday 31 October.

Having fractured her back and knee in a race fall at her fourth race ride in July, Gaudray is still as confident as ever after breaking through to ride her first winner for her boss Pat Carey.

Making the most of her four-kilo claim, Gaudray led all the way aboard Pat Carey’s Tippitywichit to win her first ever race by just under two lengths at her 25th career race start.

Adopting the same tactics, Gaudray then took the Tony Noonan-trained Chas Marlow to the lead in the following race and never looked back to win by one-and-a-half lengths.

Finishing the day with a second placing aboard the Pat Carey-trained Fioritura, it was certainly a day to remember for the 19-year-old apprentice.

Gaudray said it was a huge thrill to not only win one, but two races on the day.

“I was full of excitement even though I didn’t really show it,” she said. “The last 50 metres I thought something was going to come past me but nothing did so I was really happy to get a winner for Pat and all of the owners. I didn’t think I was going to get another one though. One is
