HURRY... HUGE SAVINGS!!!

By Keith PlattA PRIVATE investigator hired by Frankston Council is conducting inter-views with fed-up residents to fi nd out how unruly public housing and room-ing house tenants are affecting their lives.

A group of Frankston residents is demanding action to address bad be-haviour and law breaking by the ten-ants and has called a public meeting to identify measures to replace crime with

“a safe and confi dent community”.Operating under the banner FUNC

(Frankston United Neighbours Con-nect) the seven-member committee drawn from four different streets be-lieves it is time residents asserted their right to live without fear for themselves, their children or their properties.

They are compiling diaries of un-lawful behaviour in their streets and sending texts to warn of robberies or threatening behaviour.

Some have installed surveillance cameras to monitor intruders and coun-cil has been urged to install and moni-tor CCTV cameras in streets with high crime rates.

“People have to do something to protect themselves,” a single mother of two teenage children told The Times.

Holding back tears, the woman re-counted documented episodes that have forced residents of Daly St, Frankston, to stay indoors.

Twenty one of the street’s 24 houses had reported thefts, including number plates from cars and $13,000 worth of tools from a car parked in a driveway.

“I’ve seen people removing plates from cars and objects thrown through windows. I’ve lived here for eight years, but it’s got a lot worse in the past two years.

“There are drug and alcohol affected people and some with psychological problems. How does this happen?

“Rooming houses just pop up with-out any notifi cation to existing resi-dents. Some people want to move, but that’s the easy option. It’s not right that the good people have to leave.”

Problems caused by tenants of hous-es run by the Department of Human Services reached a head earlier this year with council urging the Housing Minister Wendy Lovell to make evic-tion easier.

WOODLEIGH pupils are literally gob-bling up their studies.

The Frankston school’s junior campus pupils often eat the outcomes of their outdoor learning experiences.

The rewards are not always immediate-ly apparent, but when they do arrive they contribute towards “nutritionally exciting meals and lead happy and healthy life-styles at school and at home”.

Woodleigh was one of the fi rst schools to join the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation, which has just signed up its 500th kitchen garden school.

“At Woodleigh School our program aims to build students’ self-confi dence in the garden and the kitchen so they can learn the vital life skills of growing, har-vesting and cooking their own nutrition-ally exciting meals and lead happy and healthy lifestyles at school and at home,” junior campus head Rodney Davies said.

“The kitchen garden program is achiev-ing wonderful results and we are pleased to be part of an initiative that is helping to make pleasurable food education acces-sible to every Australian primary school.”

The kitchen garden program began at an inner Melbourne primary school more than 13 years ago and has since spread into every state and territory in Australia.

The foundation’s vision is to see food education made accessible to every Australian primary school through an experience-based kitchen garden.Eat to the beat: Woodleigh School Year 4 pupils Jett (left) and Osel are proud of their smashing pumpkins and red hot chilli peppers. Picture: Gary Sissons

By Chris BrennanFRANKSTON was a big winner from last week’s state budget however the knock-on effects of the Napthine gov-ernment’s public transport overhaul and the “overly generous” allocation of $18.5 million for Frankston High School raised eyebrows.

Despite the largesse, there were few surprises for Frankston in Tuesday’s budget announcement, with details of most big-ticket initiatives having al-ready been revealed.

These included $8.2 million to fi x the Wedge Rd/Frankston Dandenong Rd intersection, $2.5 million to up-grade Frankston Special Development School, $1 million for Patterson River Secondary College, $875,000 for Sea-ford North Primary School, $540,000 for Belvedere Park Primary School, $340,000 for Kananook Primary School, and $250,000 to improve Frankston’s netball facilities.

While a generous grant for Frankston High School had been expected, the scale of the windfall sparked accusa-tions of government pork barrelling, with a tight three-way tussle anticipated for the marginal state seat of Frankston.

The government announced on 1 May the school would receive a guaranteed grant of $8.5 million at the start of July for major redevelop-ment works and a further $10 million should the Coalition retain power in the November election.

Frankston independent MP Geoff Shaw, who won the seat in 2010 as a Liberal candidate before quitting the parliamentary party in March 2013, said that while he was pleased for

Backlash looms despite budget largesseBacklash looms despite budget largesse

Frankston High School, he felt that if the government was going to “pork barrel” it should spread the money more evenly to all schools in need.

The Labor Party candidate for Frankston, Helen Constas, said there were many more schools across the electorate desperate for funding.

“It’s great for Frankston High School but you have to look at the broader issues,” she told The Times. “The Napthine government is trying to play catch-up and it’s too little too late.

“There are many worthy schools around here in desperate need of fund-ing but the government is spending only $278 million a year on fi xing our schools compared to the $467 million Labor spent in its last term in offi ce.”

She added that the Napthine gov-ernment had “already ripped the guts out and now they’re slashing fund-ing even further”, and condemned the $447 million allocated for new prison

beds while only $222 million was to be spent on hospital beds.

However, the biggest talking point for Frankston to emerge from the 2014-15 state budget was the potential impact the Coalition government’s $11 billion Melbourne Rail Link project would have on Frankston line commuters.

Details of the government’s budget showpiece reveal that, under the plan, Frankston line trains would no longer travel to Richmond or the City Loop, with passengers instead forced to change at South Yarra.

Ms Constas labelled the plan a “dis-aster”, claiming it would add an extra 20 minutes travel time each way for Frankston line passengers going to or from the city (see story on Page 6).

But Liberal Party candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead said the government’s latest budget was “great news” for Frankston that delivered a “once in-a-generation investment in

infrastructure to create jobs, drive eco-nomic growth and boost productivity”.

He highlighted changes to public transport ticketing which will provide Zone 1 + 2 travel for the price of a Zone 1 fare and save daily commuters to the city around $1200 a year, as an example of the benefi ts Frankston would reap from the budget, as well as the raft of funding grants for local schools.

“The budget also builds upon ini-tiatives already being delivered by the Napthine government such as $100 million for the Bayside Rail Upgrade, $81 million to redevelop Frankston Hospital’s emergency department, $13.8 million to redevelop the Frank-ton station and transit interchange, $8.1 million to refurbish Mr Erin Col-lege, $2.5 million to de-silt Kananook Creek and $1.3 million for the new Frankston Ambulance station,” Mr Ar-mistead said.

“By rebuilding Victoria’s fi nances

and keeping the economy strong, the Napthine government has been able to put a massive $27 billion into key pro-jects across the state including the East West Link and the new Melbourne Rail Link, which includes the airport rail link.”

State member for Carrum Donna Bauer, whose electorate takes in parts of Frankston North as well as Seaford, said she was particularly pleased with the funding announcements for lo-cal schools, as well as the $8.2 mil-lion provided to fi x the Wedge Rd/Frankston Dandenong Rd intersection.

“The investments made in the state budget will make the Wedge Rd inter-section safer for local motorists, and continues our proud record of invest-ing in the redevelopment of our local schools and public transport,” Mrs Bauer said.

State member for Cranbourne Jude Perera, whose electorate takes in parts of Frankston North, Langwarrin, Car-rum Downs and Seaford, was scathing in his assessment of the budget.

Mr Perera said the Coalition had “ripped the heart out of Melbourne’s most important transport project” and would leave the city “paralysed for a century” with it rail plan, and was also neglecting the TAFE system at time when unemployment was rising.

“Denis Napthine is spending $124 million less on TAFE,” he said. “Courses have been cut and campuses have closed. With youth unemploy-ment up and jobs leaving our state every day Denis Napthine has done nothing to save our TAFE system from the collapse he created.”

Tight tussle: Geoff Shaw will battle the ALP’s Helen Constas and Liberal candidate Sean Armistead for the seat of Frankston.

By Keith PlattSHOPKEEPERS in Young St fear they will lose business if changes are made under plans for the Frankston station precinct being exhibited by the Department of Transport and Local In-frastructure.

Frankston MP Geoff Shaw says business own-ers on Young St have expressed concern about “the possibility of losing a considerable amount of trade from commuters using the bus and train facilities”.

The draft plan aims to “deliver improvements to the station’s surroundings” by installing wider footpaths and moving towards “a greener pre-cinct with more trees and space”.

Mr Shaw is urging “Frankston locals … to sub-mit their constructive feedback on the Frankston station precinct improvement project”.

Submissions need to be lodged by 23 May. Mr Shaw said there had been “a great deal of

speculation and incorrect assertions regarding al-leged commitments” made by him and state gov-ernment ministers.

“Past and present councillors have levelled criticism against the current placement of the bus interchange on Young St,” he said.

“There are many who are being very vocal in the media, criticising the draft plans, but unless they’re formally submitting that feedback to those overseeing the design, it’s all whinging and whining and a waste of time. At worst, it’s talking Frankston down.”

When contacted by The Times Mr Shaw de-clined to be specifi c about his claims or name

critics of the plan.“We're not really interested in repeating specif-

ics because they're unfounded,” his media advi-sor Simeon Lawson stated.

“Geoff did commit to getting funding to re-vitalise the station precinct and that has been achieved.”

In his news release Mr Shaw said he was “for development that improves the area”.

“I have delivered the $13.8 million funding commitment to renew the Frankston train station precinct, and now it’s up to the planning experts and locals to make sure it’s the best design for locals to use.

“The plan will only be as good as the construc-tive feedback that’s given, because it’s a draft plan and draft plans are meant to change due to the feedback of those whom it affects.

“The fi nancial backing is fi nally there to do something signifi cant to the station precinct and all that’s left is for locals to get involved and tell the planning team what they want to see.”

The department’s website seeks feedback on three questions: What do you like about the proposed improve-ments to the Frankston station area? Do you think there will be any problems with the improvements? What are your ideas around community art pro-jects for the Frankston station precinct?

Visit www.dpcd.vic.gov.au to see the Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Project draft plan.

The deadline for public feedback on the draft plan is Friday 23 May.

By Chris BrennanARMED Protective Services Offi cers have fi nally arrived at Seaford, with nightly patrols of the railway station beginning last Tuesday.

Two offi cers are now patrolling the station and surrounding area every night from 6pm until the last train departs, usually around 2am.

Seaford was among six Melbourne stations to receive PSOs last week, taking the number of patrolled stations to 114, with 701 new offi cers having been recruited.

The Coalition promised to roll out 940 PSOs to suburban rail stations and major regional cen-tres by November 2014 as part of a $212 million crime prevention plan announced in the lead up to the 2010 election.

The Seaford deployment comes almost ten months after PSOs hit Frankston, where they have been working with police on a number of opera-tions in addition to regular patrol duties.

PSOs are armed with the same semi-automatic handguns carried by regular Victoria Police offi cers, as well as capsicum spray and batons,

and receive the same fi rearms training. They also have the power to fi ne, arrest and detain people found committing offences in the vicinity of train stations.

State member for Carrum Donna Bauer said the rollout of PSOs to stations along the Frankston line had signifi cantly improved public safety, as well as enhancing commuters’ perception of safety, which had enticed more rail users who might otherwise avoid train travel at night.

“I am pleased that commuters who use the busy Seaford rail station will now feel safer knowing they are protected by PSOs,” Mrs Bauer said.

“The PSOs will patrol the train platform, car parks and immediate surrounds to prevent anti-social behaviour, property damage, and alcohol and transport-related crime.”

The state government was forced to allocate an extra $78 million in last year’s budget to upgrade “infrastructure” at train stations where PSOs operate, such as toilets which have been shut down at many Melbourne train stations, including Seaford.

Continued from Page 1 Despite meetings already between

residents, councillors, council offi cers and police, the daily dossiers of crime continue: theft, threats, violence drug taking and vandalism.

“When one of us found a syringe container in a front yard we sent a text to the street,” the woman said.

“Every second day someone calls triple-0.”

The woman told of a recent incident where a driver allegedly overdosed on

drugs before coming to halt and block-ing half of Daly St with his angle-parked car.

“He could have been there for two hours because that’s when I fi rst heard a noise outside my house,” she said.

“When I went out to go to work he was slumped behind the wheel and the motor was still running.”

The women said police removed the car’s number plates – which she believed were stolen – before the car was put in the driveway of the rooming

house where the driver lived. The man was taken to hospital by ambulance.

“Four days later he was back driv-ing,” she said.

The woman believes problems caused by DHS houses and privately-owned rooming houses which can have up to nine occupants without requiring any permit.

She believed there were 32 regis-tered rooming houses in Frankston, with more than one in several streets, with 12 unregistered premises.

The mayor Cr Darrel Taylor said council had in the past shut down il-legal rooming houses.

“In December last year we convened a conference with 40 representatives from other councils to discuss issues and work towards a consistent and shared approach,” he said.

“We are also part of a Rooming House Working Group including police, DHS and Consumer Affairs Victoria which works to establish an improved standard of housing for

vulnerable people. “We encourage residents who suspect illegal room-ing houses, or with concerns about substandard conditions, to report it to council's environmental health de-partment.”

The meeting for residents to re-claim their streets is being held at 6pm Thursday 29 march at McClel-land College’s performing arts cen-tre, of Alexander Av, Frankston. For more information email [email protected]

By Neil WalkerFRANKSTON line commuters face frustrating delays reaching Flinders St and Richmond stations if the state government’s Melbourne Rail Link plan unveiled last week is implemented.

The Coalition spruiked the $11 billion Melbourne Rail Link as a heavy rail infrastructure project that would cement “Melbourne’s position as one of the world’s most liveable cities”.

But details of the plan reveal Frankston line commuters would face delays travelling to some destinations.

The project will re-route the Frankston line via a new train station called Fishermans Bend, named after a new suburb to be established in an industrial area near Port Melbourne.

However, somewhat confusingly, the new station will be located near

Crown Casino in Melbourne’s CBD.Frankston line commuters will be

forced to switch trains at South Yarra or Caulfi eld if they wish to exit at Richmond or Flinders Street.

State Labor candidate for Frankston Helen Constas condemned the disruption Frankston line travellers

would face when the Melbourne Rail Link is complete.

“It’s a disaster for Frankston and people are very concerned,” Ms Constas said.

“Commuters tell me they are very upset about the extra 20 minutes it’s going to take to get to the city – it’s

time they’d rather spend at home with their families.”

Frankston line trains will continue to stop at other stations in the city loop including Southern Cross, Flagstaff, Melbourne Central and Parliament stations. However, many city workers will be inconvenienced at being unable to board a direct train to Flinders Street.

A-League football fans also often alight at Richmond to walk the short distance to the AAMI Park stadium.

Public Transport Users Association president Tony Morton criticised the Napthine government for abandoning its long-mooted Melbourne Metro network project, which would have seen extra rail infrastructure built to the west and north of Melbourne.

“Quite simply, this is policy on the run,” Dr Morton said. “If you’re on the Frankston line there will be no more Flinders Street trains for you and unless you’re heading for the west side

of the CBD you’ll now need to change at Caulfi eld or South Yarra.”

The Melbourne Rail Link is expected to be complete by 2023. The state government said train and rail upgrades before its completion would see travel times decrease.

The PTUA’s Dr Morton said there should have been public debate before the Melbourne Rail Link was fi nalised.

Successive state governments had failed to invest in rail infrastructure and had preferred to focus on roads, according to Dr Morton. “There is nothing for people who live and work in the suburbs, unless you drive a car.”

Dissatisfaction with Frankston line train services was regarded as a major factor in Liberal MPs winning several ‘sandbelt’ bayside seats from the ALP at the 2010 state election.

The coalition has a one-seat majority and faces a battle to retain marginal bayside seats at November’s state poll.

Frankston out of loop in new rail plan

Not stopping all stations: Frankston line commuters will not be able to catch trains running direct to Richmond or Flinders St when the Melbourne Rail Link is complete.

FRANKSTON MP Geoff Shaw can’t keep away from controversy – even when he is away.

As he jets off to the US to study abortion laws in several states, the balance-of-power MP has promised to introduce a private member’s bill calling for six changes to the state’s abortion laws.

The amendments are sure to cause headaches for Premier Denis Napthine and Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews as they gear for a state election in November. As things

stand, Dr Napthine relies on Mr Shaw’s vote to pass legislation and, more importantly for the Coalition, retain offi ce.

After previously pushing for anti-abortion doctors to be allowed to refuse to refer a woman to another doctor for an abortion, Mr Shaw’s new bill will outlaw partial birth abortion and gender selection.

“Gender selection abortion is where they pick the sex they want. If it’s not one they want, they choose not to have it, so that’s two of the main

[changes],” he told the ABC. He also wants counselling made mandatory for women wanting a termination and a requirement for informed consent to be legislated. His bill would also require doctors to resuscitate babies who survive abortion attempts.

Soothing the concerns of women’s groups, who fear Mr Shaw’s bill will ‘wind back the clock’ - Premier Napthine has stressed in recent months that his government would do nothing to wind back abortion laws.

MP looks to shore up “right to life” lawsMP looks to shore up “right to life” laws

By Chris BrennanA MAN who allegedly bashed a Frankston car yard employee and damaged a number of vehicles during a violent rampage last week was arrested and remanded in custody.

Frankston detectives arrested a 37-year-old Mentone man at Mordialloc Railway Station around 11pm last Thursday following the incident at the car dealership in Overton Rd earlier in the evening.

“Offi cers have been told that a man attended a car dealership on Overton Rd around 5.50pm,” Senior Constable Adam West said.

“It is alleged that the man seriously assaulted one of the employees and damaged a number of cars and windows before leaving the premises.”

Senior Constable West said detectives from Frankston crime investigation unit

made a “swift arrest” after tracking the man down to the train station. The man was charged with affray, recklessly cause serious injury, recklessly cause injury and criminal damage.

Paul Young was remanded in custody after being denied bail at an out of sessions hearing later that night. He was due to appear before Frankston Magistrate’s Court on Friday. POLICE are hunting a man who threatened a female shop attendant with a large kitchen knife during an armed robbery in Langwarrin last week.

The man, pictured right, barged into the North Gateway general store about 7.20pm on Monday 5 May brandishing the knife while attempting to cover his face with a red bandana and demanded the 32-year-old attendant hand over the contents of the till.

the bandit said: “I don’t want to hurt you; just hand over the money.”

He grabbed a small amount of cash and was last seen on foot.

The offender was a short (about 165cm), thin Caucasian male aged in his early 20s. He was wearing distinctive black shoes with a green Nike logo. Anyone who saw anything suspicious at the time of the offence is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Saints flag stay at ‘first-class’ SeafordSaints flag stay at ‘first-class’ SeafordFEARS St Kilda Football Club could walk away from its Belvedere Park training ground have eased after the Saints hierarchy reaffi rmed its commitment to “fi rst-class training facilities” at Seaford.

The AFL club’s long-term future at Belvedere Park was thrown into doubt last month amid rumours the Saints could make a full-time return to their original home at Junction Oval in St Kilda.

It emerged the AFL, the state government, Cricket Victoria and MCC offi cials had been discussing “a St Kilda presence” within a proposed multi-million dollar redevelopment of Junction Oval (‘Saints marching out?’, The Times, 14/4/14).

A state government announcement last week fl agging an $8m contribution to the redevelopment of the Moorabbin Community Reserve prompted St Kilda CEO Matt Finnis to issue a statement

advising the Moorabbin project would “not impact the club’s base at Linen House Centre [in] Seaford”.

St Kilda signed a 25-year lease with Frankston Council to stay at the Seaford training ground until 2035, and transferred its administration staff from Moorabbin after a dispute with Kingston City Council over installing extra pokies at Moorabbin.

Frankston Council spent about $4m of ratepayers’ money luring the Saints

to Seaford from Moorabbin in 2008.Council estimated the “fl ow-on

benefi ts” of having the Saints based in Frankston would total more than $42.5m annually.

St Kilda plans to base a new VFL Saints team at Moorabbin.

Mr Finnis said: “It is incredibly exciting that a revitalised Moorabbin will now play host to a new generation of footballers and their families.”

CHANGES to age pension legisla-tion in Britain could have far reaching effects for thousands of Frankston and Mornington Peninsula residents.

Proposals in the United Kingdom’s latest budget could prevent the transfer-ring of UK pensions to Australian superannuation funds. The proposed changes will not affect the UK state pension, which cannot be transferred.

Mt Eliza fi nancial adviser and UK pension transfer specialist Peter Almond said the UK agreed in 2006 to allow anyone permanently leaving the country to transfer pensions to overseas schemes.

“In Australia thousands of people who worked in the UK and accrued pensions have taken advantage of the opportunity to transfer to Australian superannuation funds and will benefi t from full tax free access in retirement from age 60,” Mr Almond said. “In the UK only 25 per cent of the fund can be taken tax free.”

He said the changes were to be imple-mented in April 2015 and that to ensure advantage can be taken of the current rules, immediate action is required.

Mr Almond and Mornington account-ants Smart Business Solutions will a free advice night on the changes at 6pm 10 June at 328 Main St, Mornington. Call 5911 7000 or email [email protected]

LANGWARRIN and Mount Eliza North primary schools have been se-lected to join a global partnership involving 1000 schools across 10 countries to develop new ways to use cutting edge technology to educate and inspire students.

The schools will join 70 Victorian and 20 Tasmania schools participating in the three-year initiative which aims to transform the way educators and students think about learning, teaching and assessment.

The New Pedagogies for Deep Learning: A Global Partnership con-nects schools with education leader Dr Michael Fullan – who supported the transformation of the Ontario School System into one of the highest perform-ing in the world – and industry partners Microsoft, Intel and Promethean.

Education Minister and peninsula MP Martin Dixon said technology was

a great enabler for delivering a world-class education system while helping students and teachers across the globe share resources and best practices.

“Today’s schools are increasingly being challenged to remain relevant to students and to prepare them for the so-cial, economic and environmental tests they will face in life,” Mr Dixon said.

“The Victorian schools taking part in this initiative will play a vital role in helping shape the way technology can inspire young students and lift educa-tional outcomes.”

Dr Fullan said the initiative aimed to change the learning relationship be-tween teachers and students to make learning more engaging and productive.

“Unless a new pedagogy emerges, the students in school will become increasingly bored and the adults in-creasingly frustrated,” he said.

FRANKSTON Council’s decision not to renew a lease at Seaford Beach Cabin Park has been slammed by Car-rum MP Donna Bauer.

Up to 80 residents will have to fi nd new homes after months of nego-tiations between council and the park owner failed to fi nd common ground.

“A proposal was put for a land ex-change which would allow the park to continue to operate, and the council to build a carpark it wants to construct on the site but the council rejected this proposal,” Ms Bauer said.

The Seaford Beach Cabin Park is housed on freehold and Crown land, and part of the Crown land has been leased off council by the park’s owner since 2009. Residents living in 20 cab-ins on a Crown land section will have to leave by the end of June.

Council rejected a proposal last year by the owner to build apartments at the site. Cr Taylor said the lease had been extended by 12 months and the owner had not responded to offers to help af-fected residents on the Crown land.

“We are still awaiting the contact details of these residents,” he said. “Council continues to work with the Department of Human Services and accommodation agencies to support residents with relocating.”

Ms Bauer acknowledged council had the right not to renew the lease but she hoped council would provide ap-propriate support.

“This decision will affect so many families, some of whom are marginal-ised or disadvantaged,” she said.

Calls by The Times to the cabin park owner were not returned.

AN elderly Seaford man who had a heart attack after being hit by a car has won a long-running battle with the Transport Accident Commission.

Anton Geitenbeek, pictured right, was preparing to go to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to convince the TAC his heart attack was the result of the accident - and not due to an underlying medical condition.

For 16 months the TAC refused to pay for the 83-year-old’s heart surgery and associated costs, prompting the grandfather to take legal action.

Slater & Gordon motor vehicle ac-

cident lawyer Stuart Le Grand said the TAC had now agreed to ‘’do the right thing’’ and compensate his elderly client.

“This is a fantastic result for Anton and means he can now focus on his recovery rather than being forced to prepare a case for trial,” Mr Le Grand said. “It’s a pity it took so long to get to this point.”

Mr Geitenbeek was struck by a car while crossing the Nepean Highway near his home in May 2012.

He was knocked unconscious and taken by ambulance to The Alfred hos-pital with leg and facial injuries.

While being treated in the emer-gency department, Mr Geitenbeek had a heart attack. He later underwent a quadruple bypass and had a pacemaker inserted.

The TAC found it was reasonable to pay for Mr Geitenbeek’s angiogram but not his operation and other related costs - despite medical evidence show-ing it was highly probable he would not have required bypass surgery had it not been for the accident.Welcoming the TAC turnaround, Mr Geitenbeek said: “I am relieved that at my age I do not have to go to court.”

Long road for fair go in TAC battle Residents Residents forced out forced out

By Chris BrennanFRANKSTON Council has rejected calls from the Labor Party for a cap on annual rate rises, warning the move would result in the deterioration of ser-vices and infrastructure.

Opposition leader Daniel Andrews said last week that under a Labor state government, Victorian councils would be forced to cap annual rate rises in line with infl ation.

Councils are currently free to raise annual levies charged to property own-ers and businesses as they see fi t, with budget transparency protocols and the potential wrath of ratepayers at the vot-ing booth keeping rises in check.

But council rate hikes usually far exceed infl ation. Frankston pushed up rates last year by an average of 5.9 per cent, more than double the 2.9 per cent infl ation rate. The council’s current

draft budget proposes a rate hike of 5.5 per cent for 2014-15. CPI stands at 2.7 per cent.

Under the ALP plan, councils want-ing to increase rates by more than the offi cial consumer price index would have to justify the hike to an independ-ent Essential Services Commission, Mr Andrews said.

The ALP policy sent a “clear mes-sage that we expect councils to keep their rates in line with CPI, any in-creases above this must provide a clear benefi t to ratepayers”, he said.

Labor’s candidate for Frankston, Helen Constas, applauded the plan, saying it would ensure ratepayers weren’t unfairly slugged by ever rising council by bills.

“Under Labor, Frankston Council will be forced to limit rate rises and detail where every dollar will be spent, because ratepayers deserve a fair go,”

she said. “It’s time to do something about the council rates, the wasteful spending and the lack of transparency.”

But Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Tay-lor rejected the plan. Contrary to the suggestion in the proposal, Cr Taylor said the majority of council expendi-ture went on items not factored into CPI, with cost increases often far ex-ceeding infl ation, such as in the case of building materials, which in recent times had been rising by about 4.5 per cent a year.

“Any linking of rates to CPI would therefore create a funding gap that would escalate over time and result in a deterioration of services and facili-ties,” Cr Taylor said.

“It is also important to note councils currently invest a signifi cant amount of ratepayers’ money building, managing, operating and upgrading infrastructure and services on the state government’s

behalf. Frankston City Council would welcome any proposal that locks in suffi cient levels of state government funding to reduce this burden on rate-payers and allow rate increases to be kept to a minimum.”

He also rejected accusations of coun-cil waste, claiming that local govern-ment was “the most effi cient tier of government in Australia, costing tax-payers only 3.5 cents in the tax dollar, with state and federal governments ac-counting for 96.5 cents between them”.

The Municipal Association of Victoria also condemned Labor’s plan, accus-ing the Opposition of bringing back a “failed” reform fi rst introduced by for-mer premier Jeff Kennett in the 1990s.

“Rate rise restrictions leave councils with two main choices – reduce servic-es relied on by communities or reduce capital spending to maintain assets,” MAV president Bill McArthur said.

By Chris BrennanTHE condition of a fi ve-year-old girl critically injured in a fatal ultralight plane crash in Tyabb last weekend has improved.

Emily Doutch sustained life-threaten-ing injuries when the aircraft fl own by her father, senior Frankston SES member Peter Doutch, crashed into a house in in Seaview Rd about 5.20pm last Sunday.

Mr Doutch died at the crash scene while Emily was rescued from the wreck-age and fl own by helicopter to the Royal Children’s Hospital in a critical condition with multiple injuries.

Frankston SES controller Brain Mc-Mannus said on Monday Emily was now showing encouraging signs but still faced a long road to recovery.

“She’s improving, so there is light at the end of the tunnel, but there’s a long way to travel yet,” Mr McMannus told The News.

He said he had been in contact with Emily’s mother, who remained by her bedside.

“She was in an induced coma, but I understand that she did open her eyes a couple of days ago, so that’s fantastic news. She’s had scans of her major or-gans, and that was all okay, and brain scans, which were also all okay.

“But she has a lot of broken bones that will take a long time to heal so it’s going to be a long battle.”

Hospital offi cials confi rmed Emily’s condition had improved and she is now listed as “stable”.

Emily is a prep pupil at John Paul Col-

lege, Frankston, where her older brother also attends.

Funeral arrangements for Mr Doutch have yet to be fi nalised but Mr McMannus said a fi tting send-off would be arranged at an appropriate time for the dedicated SES volunteer in consultation with his family.

A post mortem examination was sched-uled to be conducted to determine if Mr Doutch, 44, had suffered any health complications in the moments before the crash. The fi ndings will be included in a coroner’s report.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority is also investigating the fatal crash.

Witnesses said the Airborne XT-912 Tourer fl own by Mr Doutch appeared to experience engine problems before crash-ing about two minutes away from the Pen-insula Aero Club airstrip at Tyabb.

McMannus said Mr Doutch, who lived in Frankston with his wife and family, had served with the unit for 24 years.

As a section leader and one of the Frankston unit’s most senior members, Mr Doutch had trained many of the current volunteer members.

“It’s hit us all very hard; we’ve lost a highly experienced member and a very good person,” Mr McMannus said follow-ing the crash.

“We’re like a big family and when you lose someone, it’s like losing a family member.”

He said Mr Doutch would be forever remembered as highly popular, happy-go-lucky person who loved singing and loved fl ying.

TWO Frankston’s libraries will waive overdue fi nes in exchange for donations of food for the needy during the month of May.

Food for Fines donations can be made at Frankston Library and Carrum Downs Library – not at Seaford and Langwarrin council customer service outlets.

“We would love to see all our customers back in the library with full access to our extensive collections and services,’’ libraries programming coordinator Kathy Blair said.

She said food donations would go to Operation Larder Inc., which will distribute the food packages through Community Support Frankston.

The donations must be fi t for human consumption, in

good condition, non-perishable and have an expiry date of November 2014 or later. The amount of fi nes waived per food item is: One food item - up to $10, two food items $11 - $20, three food items $21 - $30 and four food items $31 and over.

Only overdue fi nes and debt collection fees will be waived in exchange for food donations. Fees for damaged, incomplete or lost items or other library services are not eligible.

So, if you haven’t been to the library for a while, get along to see the eBooks, eMagazines, free wifi , public access computers, computer and tablet classes and lots more.

Call Frankston Libraries on 9784 1020.

THE state government will fi x the Wedge Rd intersection at Carrum Downs, according to Parliamentary Secretary for Transport Gary Blackwood and Carrum MP Donna Bauer.

Mr Blackwood, representing transport minister Terry Mulder, visited Carrum Downs last week to announce $8.2 million in funding for new traffi c lights at what he referred to as the ‘notorious’ intersection of Frankston-Dandenong Rd and Boundary and Wedge roads.

“In the last fi ve years, we have seen 17 casualty crashes involving vehicles travelling through the intersection, including seven serious injury crashes,” Mr Blackwood said.

“The installation of traffi c lights, and additional approach lanes on the Boundary and Wedge roads legs of the intersection, will benefi t local amenity.”

Ms Bauer – whose electorate includes parts of Frankston North and Seaford - said the announcement was “great news’’ for the thousands of commuters who used the intersection daily.

“I visited this site earlier in the year with the Minister for Roads to highlight safety and congestion concerns and I am thrilled that I have been able to secure funding for this project for my community.”

They said funding for traffi c signals at the Wedge Road intersection would be included in last week’s state budget.

AS Anzac Day commemoration events were held across the penin-sula last month, a re-enactment of the Gallipoli landings and assault was staged at Canadian Bay beach in Mt Eliza.

The beach’s cliffs were a stand-in for the towering obstacle Anzacs faced 99 years ago during World War as troops were marshalled into place and plans long in the making were carried out.

The recreation of the Anzacs landing was part of fi lming for an upcoming Channel 9 eight-hour mini-series Gallipoli, based on the best-selling book of the same name by Les Carlyon.

Endemol Australia is producing

the drama series for the Nine Net-work and the show will air next year to coincide with the 100th an-niverary of the Gallipoli landings in April 1915.

Film Victoria CEO Jenni Tosi said Gallipoli will be one of the biggest television events of 2015.

“It will deliver a powerful and emotive series for Australian audi-ences as we refl ect on the war that shaped our nation,” Ms Tosi said.

Adelaide-born actor Kodi Smit-McPhee will star as 17-year-old Thomas “Tolly” Johnson, who lies about his age to enlist with his brother Bevan in the Great War and fi nds himself at Gallipoli, caught up in the chaos and key battles.

Smit-McPhee shot to prominence in his starring role alongside Viggo Mortensen in the 200x fi lm adap-tion of Cormac McCarthey’s The Road.

The cast reads like a who’s who of Australian TV with Lachy Hulme (Howzat! Kerry Packer’s War, Offspring) and Lincoln Lewis (Home and Away, House Husbands, Underbelly: Razor) just two of the high-profi le names set to appear.

The three-month series shoot around Melbourne and Victoria is expected to generate about $14.6 million in production expenditure in the state, with more than 750 production staff.

Compiled by Cameron McCulloughFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 16 May 1914Mr S. S. Price, surgeon dentist, will be at Nurse Jackson’s Private Hospital, Frankston on Sunday next (tomorrow.)

***The Book Committee of the Dromana Library have arranged with “Mullens” for a supply of new books monthly.

***Members and intending members of the Frankston Choral Society are invited to the annual meeting on Monday next at the Mechanics’ Hall. A good programme, ping pong tour-nament, and supper.

***Major and Mrs C. W. Campbell returned to Amesfi sld Park last Saturday after an interesting motor tour throughout Australia. We expect in a future issue to chronicle some in interesting particulars of the tour.

***An important unreserved clearing sale will be conducted by Messrs Brody and Mason at Ann Villa, Wells Street, Frankston on Wednesday next, 20th May, when they will offer the superior furniture etc of Mrs A. Har-ris, who is leaving the district. Full particulars are advertised.

***Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure, For Coughs and Colds, never fails, 1s 6d.

***The well known business of Messrs A. Nunn and Sons, general mer-chants, of Mornington, has been pur-chased by Mr Higgs, of Melbourne, who intends carrying on the business under the same lines and with the

same staff as his predecessors, and the general public can depend upon receiving the same attention and courtesy as hither to.

***At the recent musical examinations for the degree of D.M.S.V., Miss Dorie Overton, pupil of Miss Olive Sherlock D.M.S.V., was successful in obtaining the highest honours out of over 200 competitors. Miss Sher-lock is to be congratulated upon her student obtaining such a high degree of profi ciency.

***At a meeting of the Board of Manage-ment of the Melbourne Ragged Boys’ Home Mission held last week in Mel-bourne, Mr J. B. Jolly, of Frankston, headed the poll, and was elected to the Council of the institution. We learn that Mr Jolly intends to move that a local committee be appointed to assist in the management of the Seaside Home at Frankston.

***The Dromana Presbyterian Church, which has been closed for a fortnight, has in the meantime been painted inside and out. The old residents will be pleased to hear that the Rev J. Barnaby, (who is a local product, and one of the foremost preachers in Melbourne), will conduct the reopen-ing services at Dromana on Sunday next, morning and evening. A good congregation is expected.

***Mr Fred Taylor, the manager of the Frankston Motor Garage Proprietary Ltd has taken up his duties at the garage at Frankston. Extra cars are being installed by the company at Frankston, whilst a car will also be

stationed at Mornington and Chelsea respectively, and later on, other towns of the Peninsula will be given cars. To the order of the company, two “Grant” cars are at present in transit to Australia.

***An American saloon worker was trying to persuade an Irishman to vote for the saloon by using the threadbare argument that if you close up the sa-loon and cut off the revenue, it will be necessary to close the public schools. “And then what will your boy do for an education ?” “I’d rather have my born learn his A B C in heaven than to

be able to read Latin in Hell.” ***

The second of the series of winter so-cials in connection with Frankston St. Paul’s Club was held on Wednesday evening in the Mechanics’ Hall. The weather was rather boisterous which, no doubt, accounted for the rather small attendance.

***“Ned” Towers, who was a land holder in the Langwarrin district, and highly respected for his sterling worth and unassuming ways, died suddenly in Melbourne lately, having been unsuccessfully operated on for some internal trouble.

***Mrs J. W. Swords, of “Victoria Villa” Dandenong, celebrated her 94th birthday lately. Born at Nenagh, Ireland, in 1820, Mrs Swords was married there to her late husband by the Lord Bishop of Killaloe 1840. Soon afterwards the couple sailed for Australia, leaving Liverpool in the sailing ship Theresa, and arrived in Port Phillip after a trying voyage of six months. For several years she resided at Port and pulled the fi rst impression of “The Port and Guard-ian”, the fi rst newspaper published in Victoria, outside of Melbourne. Her late husband conducted “The Guard-ian” for some years. Messrs F. W. and H. Swords, of “The Dandenong Advertiser,” are sons. Mrs Swords is naturally becoming feeble, and the annual festival, which in the past was attended by a large gathering of relatives, was this year restricted to a small family reunion. Mrs Swords is a well known resident of the Frankston district, having resided here for a number of years, during which time she took a great deal of interest in school matters.

***A conference of representatives of the Progress Associations of the Penin-sula was held at Bittern on Monday evening last. Delegates from the following associations were present:

Westernport, Mornington, Crib Point Bittern, Balnarring and Moorooduc. It was resolved that a federated associa-tion be formed, the objects being to support the development of railways, postal and telephone services, roads, water supply, foreshores, ports and harbours, etc. The following resolu-tion was carried unanimously “That the federated progress associations emphatically protests against any departure from Admiral Henderson’s programme as affecting the Flinders naval base, such as the proposed deferring provision for fl oating dock, and the carrying out of repairs to destroyers at Williamstown, instead of at the base.”

***The football season opened in earnest in the Peninsula on Saturday last, when the weather was all that could be desired. At Somerville last year’s premiers were defeated by the home team after a strenuous match, while Dromana accounted for Frankston at Dromana. Tyabb were at home to Mornington, who defeated them by a substantial majority. Spectators should witness some interesting foot-ball before the season closes.

***Shire of Frankston and Hastings - No-tice to ratepayers to pay rates. Rate-payers are hereby notifi ed that, in order to be placed on this year’s Vot-ers Roll, all Rates must be paid on or before 10th June. Interest at the rate of 6 percent will be charged on all ac-counts not paid on that date, and le-gal proceedings will be taken for their recovery without further notice. Dog fees and Pan fees must also be paid on or before 10th June.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

“Ned” Towers, who was a land holder in the

lately, having been unsuccessfully operated on for some internal trouble.


By Stuart McCulloughFROM a young age, I wanted to be older. I expressed this deep-held de-sire in a range of ways, including a brief period during primary school in which I dressed like a Cockney shoe-shine, complete with fl at-cap. I was, of course, a complete fraud. I may have looked like I could give your shoes a spit and polish at a moment’s notice but, in truth, I rarely cleaned my own shoes much less someone else’s. Be-sides, it’s hard to polish gumboots to a satisfactory standard. But I didn’t only dress as though I was much old-er; I frequently tried to eat beyond my years also. I have been making up for it ever since.

I am a hopeless sweet tooth. In fact, despite not being entirely straight and suffering a variety of fl aws too numer-ous to mention, my teeth are possibly the sweetest thing about me. Not that it’s my fault. I come from a family of committed sweet teeth. Even my father, whose original teeth were re-placed sometime back in the 1950s, still has a sweet tooth. It’s something that stays with you for life.

People commonly toss around the term ‘chocoholic’ lightly, as though it was some kind of joke but, frankly, those people have no idea what it is to be hopelessly enslaved to the brown stuff. Were I ever to win a Golden Ticket, I would have to be restrained. Like Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs, I would be bound in a straitjacket with a metal grill over my mouth and wheeled across the thresh-

old by Willy Wonka himself. Sadly, only that kind of brutal security would be enough to prevent me from going absolutely berserk from the fi rst mo-ment I set foot in the Chocolate Room.

Left to my own devices, I would surely make Augustus Gloop look like the very height of restraint as I guz-zled, gulped and pretty much stuffed my face from a variety of angles until

being tasered by an Oompa Loompa.But despite my fondness for the

sweet stuff, when in public I was con-scious of displaying restraint. I didn’t want the world at large to know that I had a sweet tooth that had managed to work its way through the rest of my body. When at a restaurant, my natural instinct would be to order chocolate spaghetti and hang the consequences.

As for choosing an ice cream, I would be drawn to the double chocolate fudge-tastic as surely as a mosquito to a blue light zapper. But despite these deep urges, I would resist. Instead, I would consciously select the most grown-up thing on the menu I could think of.

For decades, I chose things I wasn’t particularly interested in eating, all for the sake of creating the illusion of being more grown up. Generations of waiters and waitresses must have puz-zled at the fact that I always looked slightly disappointed whenever I was served a meal. This was especially true of whenever our family went out and ate pancakes.

The restaurant had a kids’ menu full of wonderful pancake options, most of which lavished generous serves of chocolate in one form or another. I, of course, was duty bound to resist. Instead, I trawled through the adult menu looking for something that sug-gested that I was deeply sophisticated and mature far beyond my tender years. For reasons that are now un-clear, I thought that boysenberry sent just the right message.

Truth be told, I did not know then what a boysenberry was. It simply sounded exotic. I knew of no one who grew them and imagined that they were from some far-off land. It re-minded me of the snozzberries on the lickable wallpaper in Willy Wonka’s foyer. I believed then that the boysen-berry and snozzberry could well be re-lated. In truth, a boysenberry is some-

thing of a mutant – a cross between a raspberry and a blackberry. I’d even go so far as to say that the boysenberry is the ‘Liger’ of the berry world (ask Napoleon Dynamite).

Ironically, at that time blackberries were my sworn enemy. That’s because they grew in plague proportions down in the back paddock and I spent nearly ninety percent of my time – including when I ought to have been at school – pulling out thorny blackberry bushes with my bare hands. This accounts, I feel, for my present-day aversion to anything resembling manual labour. But I was blissfully unaware that whilst I did battle with blackberries on a daily basis and regarded them as nothing more than a weed, I was or-dering its illegitimate offspring on my pancakes in place of my one true love – chocolate.

I have long since given up pretend-ing to be sophisticated. Once, I always wore a dinner suit complete with a bow tie to ‘casual clothes’ days. Now I’m unlikely to wear anything without an elasticised waist. Gone, too, is the desire to be older than I am. Time has taken care of that.

These days I am just as likely to order boysenberries as I am to dress like a Cockney shoeshine. My abid-ing affair with chocolate, however, continues unabated. It’s strange to see which things persist into adulthood and which things fall away. Boysen-berries may come and go. Chocolate is forever.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

THIS is one secret you can’t help but share!

Mornington Peninsula and Frankston residents now have access to a treasure trove of the latest national and international fashions and homewares for up to 60 per cent off other stores’ prices with Trade Secret opening in Shannon Mall last month.

Trade Secret is a revolutionary retail space that offers current fashion sourced from around the globe.

The fi rst Victorian store opened in Fountain Gate last August followed by a second store at Broadmeadows in September and a third store at Spencer Outlet Centre in November.

With 27 Trade Secret stores in Queensland, New South Wales and the ACT already, this innovative, Australian-owned company is bucking retail industry trends and expanding rapidly.

What’s the secret? A team of buyers deal directly with top-brand fashion houses and suppliers from Australia and all over the world to source fashion, homewares and accessories, passing their savings on to customers, who will save up to 60 per cent on current season items.

In addition, Trade Secret satisfi es shoppers with its fi nger on the trend pulse.

Store stock changes daily, and their team buy close to the market, so there’s always a new range of current season items from the hottest brands to discover in the stores. The range is merchandised into garment type and size so customers can be easily

guided as they explore. The Trade Secret team is delighted

with the continued expansion of Trade Secret in Victoria.

“We’re thrilled to have opened our fourth store in Victoria to offer the people of Frankston and surrounding area the opportunity to enjoy the unique shopping experience offered by a Trade Secret store,” Trade Secret property manager Edwina Hundt said.

“We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive response we’ve had since opening our stores in Melbourne. We’re excited to be offering shoppers

a new destination for bargain shopping, and can’t wait to have more stores open this year in Victoria,” she said.

Trade Secret is owned and operated by the Gazal Corporation, which was founded in 1958 by Joe Gazal. It is one of Australia’s most successful fashion companies and was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in 1987. The company employs 1200 Australians nationally.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntMornington proved it has taken the next step and is a real challenger for the 2014 Peninsula League premiership after smashing reigning premiers Edithvale-Aspendale by more than six goals.

Despite trailing by a point at the half-way mark of the clash, the Dogs booted nine goals to three in the second half to record a comfortable 18.13 (121) to 12.13 (85) victory.

It was a highly entertaining game. It was free fl owing with plenty of skills on display.

The Doggies have been suspect when they have been challenged in the past but on Saturday, when the heat needed to be turned up, it was the home side that came to the fore.

The introduction of Dale and Danny Nolan into the team, along with man mountain Michael Gay, cannot be un-derestimated.

Dale Nolan has booted 13 goals in his past three matches, including fi ve on the weekend. He has 17 for the season.

His brother Danny is controlling the engine room and is damaging when he runs forward also.

Danny Nolan has been in the best players three times in his fi ve matches and has booted goals in all but one match.

Anthony Simpson was at his best for the Dogs on the weekend. Chris Paxino wound back the clock with a best on fi eld performance and Chris Baker once again proved how valuable he is to this team.

Despite the experience and recruits, the Dogs also had the likes of teenagers Jake Smart and James Fletcher running around. Will Goosey wouldn’t be far away either. There’s a nice blend.

With wins against both grand fi nalists from last year, the Doggies now need to set new goals of fi nishing in the top three. Simply playing fi nals is no long-er good enough for this team.

Bonbeach swung the ledger back into their own favour on Saturday when they held off a fast fi nishing Langwar-rin to win a thriller 12.9 (81) to 11.11 (77).

The Sharks have won their past two matches against previously undefeated teams in YCW and now the Kangaroos.

They are starting to get all of their stars on the park together and they are beginning to have an impact on the contest.

On Saturday when the game needed to be won, Travis Johnstone stood up, along with Paul Rebeschini and Shane McDonald.

Matt Clifford was clearly the best player on the ground while Jackson Casey and Mark Tyrell were also domi-nant.

The Sharks lost Josh Bull early in the game, which meant all of the ruck du-ties were left up to Dylan Jones. Lang-warrin also lost their number one ruck-man Matt Naughton for most of the second half as a ruck option.

Langwarrin didn’t hit the front at any stage in the match, although they did draw level on several occasions.

Bonbeach kicked the fi rst two goals of every quarter, except for the last, which always gave them a buffer.

The Kangas would fi ght their way back but the Sharks had the answers.

The home side peppered the goals in the last quarter (1.4 to 0.2) but just couldn’t get over the line.

Sean Herdman was very good for the Kangas with three goals while Liam Hogan did lots of work around the ball. Skipper Scott Sienkiewicz was also dominant.

The experience of the Sharks, the confi dence in their own ability and that

of their teammates and their composure under pressure couldn’t be underesti-mated.

They won the contested footy and their work rate and intensity was high.

Langwarrin wanted to play fast fl ow-ing footy and Bonbeach wanted it in close. The difference in the end was that Bonbeach controlled the tempo of the game for longer periods. Lang-warrin also lacks a big, strong forward. Matty Dimkos is the answer there.

Frankston YCW bounced back on Saturday, getting the job done against a winless Seaford, 16.12 (108) to 9.8 (62).

The Tigers had lost three games by less than two goals leading up to this clash however, on Saturday, they just couldn’t get close enough to the Stone-cats to strike, despite leading at the fi rst change.

Jai Coghlan was arguably the best player on the ground while Lachy Wal-lace was a welcome return.

Ben Crowe was outstanding for the Tigers, while Dylan Crump was again in great form.

Karingal booted more than one goal for the fi rst time in three matches on Saturday, kicking three against Pines.

The Bulls booted three goals in the

opening half and four in the second hour, however, still went down 7.6 (48) to 18.16 (124).

Shaun White booted fi ve for Pines in a best on fi eld performance while Luke Houldcroft, Dale Tedge and Jamie Messina with three goals were outstanding. Jack Wheeler also played his best game for the club.

George Angelopoulos, Brad Groenendyk and Michael Burke were the best of the Bulls.

It took until the last quarter for Mt Eliza to shake-off a persistent Chelsea on Saturday, eventually winning 11.20 (86) to 10.14 (74).

Despite having seven more scoring shots, the Mounties needed to boot fi ve goals to three in the fi nal term to get the four points.

Tim Strickland booted four goals in a match winning performance for the Redlegs, while Ben Lean and Sam Gill were also dominant.

Kristian Harper was named Chel-sea’s best in only his second game while Zach Graham was outstanding his fi rst senior game.

There’s a lot to like about the way Cheslea are progressing. The Redlegs on the other hand have a lot of work to do.

Doggies are the real dealDoggies are the real deal

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntCRIB Point maintained its position as the only undefeated side in the com-petition with a 23 point victory over Rye in Nepean League football on Saturday.

The Pies were jumped in the opening term, trailing by 20 points at the fi rst change, however as they have done so often in the opening fi ve games of the season, they stormed back into the contest to lead at half time.

Glenn Boyd is really starting to fi nd his mojo and he fi nished with four on the weekend for the Pies, while anoth-er recruit, Brad Arnold, played his best game for the black and white. Luke Herrington and Jon Flack continue to relish the fact that they are not the only players for the opposition to worry about these days. They were both out-standing, as was Jack Johnson, who booted three goals.

A four goal to three third quarter set up the win for the Pies, kicking 16 points clear before recording a 17.12 (114) to 14.7 (91) win. Accuracy in front of goal really did keep Rye in the contest.

Aaron Findlay made it eight goals in two matches for the Demons with another four on Saturday, while Matty Siberas, Ben Cain and Jai Lloyd were outstanding.

Rosebud is in a spot of bother after losing its fourth match for the season against Red Hill on Saturday.

The Buds led at quarter time by 22 points and by 15 points at half time.

However, Red Hill’s leg speed was the difference in the second half, boot-ing eight goals to three to win 12.12 (90) to 11.3 (69). Twenty-fi ve scoring shots to 14 for the match and 15 to four in the second half really did high-light the Hillmen’s domination after half time.

Jarryd Douglas booted four for the Hillmen while the leg speed of Dylan Neal was a highlight of the match. Pe-ter Dal Lago and Jarred Eames also provided that high level experience when the game needed to be won.

Greg Bentley worked tirelessly for the Buds, as did Sam Kremeich in a run with role, while Tom Baker was good up front with three goals.

The Hillmen maintained their second position on the ladder with four wins

and one loss. Rosebud has slumped to ninth and is now two games and 30 per cent outside of the top fi ve.

The Buds must win all of their next four matches against Tyabb, Devon Meadows, Somerville and Frankston Bombers to have any chance of play-ing fi nals football this season.

Somerville won its third straight game after a shaky start to the season, leading all afternoon to beat Devon Meadows.

The Eagles should have put the Pan-thers to the sword in the second quar-ter, however, kicked 3.7 to 3.2 to let the opposition off the hook.

However, the visitors dominated in the third term, booting 4.6 to 2.2 to set-up a match winning 22 point buffer at the fi nal change.

The Panthers did come back in the fi nal quarter however Somerville hung-on to win a low scoring contest, 10.18 (78) to 10.9 (69).

Josh Collie continued his brilliant form for the Eagles with three goals while Daniel Dickinson, Justin Allsop and Timmy Hirst were integral in the win.

James Bow was up to his old tricks with six goals for the Panthers, while Pat Harmes and Daniel Watson were also fi ne contributors.

In better news for the Panthers, Alex Doria, Stef Baumgartner and Brian Wapshot all played well in the reserves, while Beau Miller should be back this week or after the bye. The Panthers have also lured the mercurial Andre Young from Cranbourne, who will be important in the back half of the season.

Devon Meadows remains in the top fi ve despite the loss.

A last quarter fade-out saw Hastings go down to Sorrento by 17 points at David McFarlane Reserve.

The Blues led by eight points at quarter time, two points at the main break and by three points at the fi -nal change. However, with the home crowd on their side, the Sharks domi-nated the fi nal term, booting 4.8 to three goals to win 13.19 (97) to 11.8 (74).

Leigh Poholke made it 16 goals in two matches with seven goals on Saturday, while Trevor Mattison and James Hallahan once again set up the win with their run through the middle.

Dan Noble plonked himself as a

permanent forward and was rewarded with fi ve goals while Steven Robb fi -nally got his opportunity after domi-nating in the reserves and was argu-ably Hastings’ best. Colin McVeigh and Daniel Wishart continued their brilliant starts to the season.

The Blues are only a game and three per cent outside of the top fi ve.

Dromana continues to sneak un-der the radar, notching up its fourth win for the season, this time against Frankston Bombers.

The Tigers are in third place on the table however, with all the talk sur-rounding the new kids on the block in Crib Point and Red Hill, as well as the slump of Rosebud, people are not talk-ing about Dromana.

On Saturday, the Tigers extended their lead at every change, winning 16.16 (112) to 7.17 (59).

Anthony Bruhn fi nished with sev-en goals for the Tigers while Daniel Guerts and Jack Fowler played inte-gral roles in the domination.

Shaun Brand and Jeremy Waixel were the best of the Bombers, while Sam Drake was back and playing good footy.

In the fi nal game, Pearcedale dis-played some of its best football for the season, beating Tyabb 26.15 (171) to 14.12 (96).

In a free-fl owing contest, the Pan-thers set-up the win with an 11 goal to one second quarter. They booted 12 goals to seven in the second half.

Basil Sibosado and Pat Cadd each fi nished with fi ve goals for the Pan-thers while Troy Jacobson and Dylan Hoare were dominant.

Jake Anderson booted three goals and was Tyabb’s best player, while Shane Waterstone and Justin Volk were among their team’s best yet again.

Magpies keep flying high, remain undefeatedMagpies keep flying high, remain undefeated
