EASTER RACE DAY MORNINGTON

New Look Jason Warren Team Thriving

By Julian Cook

After over two decades as a horse trainer, Mornington’s Jason Warren has grown conditioned to change.

It’s the nature of the industry that horses, staff and even properties come and go but it’s the foundations that trainers build themselves over time that ultimately set them up for continued success.

Warren had always been keen to learn, long before preparing his first ever winner, Oro’s Gift, at his home track in June 2001.

“I was essentially a horse breaker and pre-trainer who developed into a trainer and when I made that transition, I felt that I probably needed to further my education if I’m going to be a competitive, commercial trainer,” Warren said.

“I went and worked for Lee and Anthony Freedman. Essentially, I base the way that I train on the way that they train.

“I rely on my eye a lot and being up close with the horses, seeing how they pull up after they gallop and how they eat every morning.”

The past decade has seen several gun gallopers pass through under

that watchful eye. Bel Sprinter was his banner horse for five seasons, delivering Warren his first and only Group 1 title in the 2013 Galaxy (1100m) at Rosehill. Rosemont Stud bred and owned superstar Brooklyn Hustle was next to fly the flag, bursting onto the scene in 2018 before retiring in June last year as one of the unluckiest horses in recent memory not to win at the elite level.

The absence of Brooklyn Hustle threatened to leave a sizeable hole in Warren’s ranks but as luck would have it, along came Hellbent filly Benedetta. The rising star made her debut in December last year before winning four on the bounce and over $600,000 in prize money with her greatest victory so far coming at her penultimate start in the $750,000 Inglis Sprint (1200m) at Flemington on March 4.

“Our banner horse from last season, Brooklyn Hustle, she’s just retired to stud. It’s nice to have a filly like Benedetta to fill her shoes so it’s exciting times ahead for our stable,” Warren said.

“The barrier beat her at her first start at Moe and since then she’s just taken big steps at every outing. What she reeled off [in the Inglis Sprint] was as sensational on the clock as it was to the eye, and we feel that we don’t know where her ceiling is yet.”

Warren says that all options are on the table for Benedetta in the spring, also highlighting his confidence in the likes of Confrontational and Tax Free Prophet while declaring that “the

sky’s the limit” for star two-year-olds Freakofnature and Treasurway.

“It’s very exciting and I think we have a lot to look forward to, especially in the spring. We’ve also got a really good team of staff, probably the best that we’ve had in many years.

“You can’t do it without good people around you and essentially it’s not just good people supporting your stable with good horses but also the staff to take care of them.”

it privately. 10-acres so close to the track, opposite our front gate is the entrance to the pool. It’s just the perfect spot and I’ve built 16 boxes here with the view to building another 50 down the front.

“The horses are very relaxed when they walk out of our front gate. It’s pretty quiet, you wouldn’t think you’re five minutes from Mornington being here. It’s so peaceful.”

That serenity contrasts with the “electric” atmosphere that Kate says is currently running through their stable thanks to quality horseflesh and fresh surrounds.

As for Warren’s motivation for another big race victory, ten years after claiming his first Group 1?

Warren’s recent success would suggest that he’s in career-best form, this season he’s already knocked off his own prize money earning record with four months still to go. Good staff and horses help but his decision last year to compliment his existing set up with the purchase of a 10-acre property on Roberts Road, adjoining Mornington Racecourse, also appears to have contributed greatly.

“I’ve trained at Mornington for over 20 years and most of that time has been off track.”

“My partner, Kate, found this place for sale and so we bought

“I’m a fierce competitor, whether that’s a BM58 at Pakenham on a Thursday night in the last race or a Group 1 on Friday night at Moonee Valley.”

“I think that the moment that you lose that competitiveness, you’re probably in the wrong game.”

Some things never change.

Crash cause

Investigation into Mentone helicopter crash complete

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

AN INEXPERIENCED student pilot failed to identify that their helicopter engine had lost power before crashing into the roof of a Mentone home last year, an investigation has found. Just after 1pm on 30 November, a helicopter smashed through the roof of

a home on Tylden Court. The pilot survived the crash, but was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Two homes sustained damage in the crash. The helicopter was also substantially damaged.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has investigated the crash, and released its findings last week. ATSB director transport safety Stuart Macleod said that the pilot did not realise that their engine was not functioning.

“As the helicopter climbed to about 650 feet above ground level, the engine lost power,” Macleod said. “While the pilot identified a reduction in performance at this time, they did not immediately recognise the engine had lost power.

“When the pilot recognised a forced landing was required, they then did not identify a nearby football oval as the closest suitable area, possibly due to it being obscured by the airframe or in-

strument pane. Instead, they identified a school ground, and attempted a landing there, but collided with rooftops short of this intended location as the helicopter had insufficient height.”

Despite the crash, the ATSB said that the pilot had “maintained control enough to maximise survivability”.

The pilot was flying a Hughes 269C three-seat light helicopter. They were returning to Moorabbin Airport from their second solo navigation training

flight when they encountered problems. Macleod said that pilots must prepare for all situations before flying by making themselves aware of suitable forced landing areas. “The accident highlights the challenges pilots face when confronted with a loss of engine power at low level, and with few suitable landing areas available. Pilots can best mitigate the effects of a power loss by forward planning, which reduces your mental workload under stress,” he said.

An inexperienced pilot crashed into the roof of a Mentone home late last year. An investigation into the cause of the crash has now concluded. Pictures: Supplied

New clubroom 40 years in the making

ASPENDALE Life Saving Club’s new $5.7 million clubhouse is complete.

The life saving club officially opened its new facility last week. The two-storey building includes new toilets, a rainwater tank, LED lighting, training rooms, a kitchen, an observation room, and a first aid area.

The project was jointly funded by Kingston Council, which allocated $3.7 million in funds to it, and the state government, which spent $2 million.

Aspendale Life Saving Club has around 600 members who will share the new rooms. Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said “I’m thrilled that the Aspendale Life Saving Club has the dedicated spaces and resources it needs to continue to protect the community, support volunteer services and teach vital water safety skills.”

“The new facility will be a valuable community hub, providing social and health benefits for Aspendale residents and supporting our committed volunteers to serve locals and visitors alike,” he said.

Aspendale Life Saving Club’s old clubrooms were built 40 years ago. The club will celebrate 100 years of operation in 2026.

THE builder contracted to redevelop Jubilee Park Stadium went into voluntary administration last week.

Calls for improved Mordi Fest

MORDI Fest should be expanded to a three-day event with more popular bands, a Kingston councillor says.

This year, Mordi Fest took place on 4 and 5 March. The two-day festival was headlined by British India.

Kingston councillor Cameron Howe has successfully advocated for a review into the festival. He says that the event has the potential to grow into something “iconic”.

Jubilee Park builder goes bust

THE builder responsible for one of Frankston’s most expensive infrastructure projects in history has collapsed.

News broke last Friday that Lloyd Group, the builder contracted for the redevelopment of Jubilee Park Stadium, had entered voluntary administration.

The News understands that the $35 million Jubilee Park rebuild is close to completion.

Kingston Council has confirmed it has no active contracts with Lloyd Group. The builder has been responsible for local projects in the past, including the redevelopment of the Parkdale Family and Children’s Centre in 2015.

Frankston Council has confirmed that four council projects have been impacted by the builder’s collapse - Jubilee Park Stadium, the Healthy Futures Hub at St Kilda FC’s former Seaford training base, Lloyd Park Senior Pavilion, and Eric Bell Pavilion.

In a statement to The News, Frankston Council said it is working with appointed administrator Deloitte to assess the status of affected projects.

“Council will work with all parties to ensure this process goes as smoothly as possible. Discussions with Deloitte to date have been positive and we expect to receive a progress report next week and are hopeful of a resolution within the next few weeks,” council said.

“This is a disappointing situation for council and all involved. Due diligence checks to assess a company’s financial viability are routinely conducted as part of council’s procurement process prior to engaging a contractor for any major construction project.

Lloyd Group were deemed sound for all projects, however in the current increased inflation market conditions, issues such as we are now experiencing

are unforeseeable.

“Council officers, CEO Phil Cantillon and mayor Nathan Conroy are reaching out to all sporting and community groups affected by the situation and will keep them updated during this period.”

In February last year, Frankston Council announced that the Jubilee Park rebuild was due to be finished in March 2023, and moved forward $8 million in spending on the project (“Jubilee Park project accelerated”

The News 9/2/22).

The redevelopment was budgeted to cost $35.32 million. Frankston Council committed more than $20.5 million in ratepayer funding to it. The state government allocated $10 million to works, the federal government $4.56 million, and Cricket Victoria/Cricket Australia $200,000.

Brodie Cowburn

“Mordi Fest should be bigger, better, and bolder, with a bigger emphasis on better entertainment and bands over three days beginning on the Friday night,” Howe said. “Live music venues in Mordialloc will have the option to add to participate, in what in future years could be a hive of en-

ergy. Bringing bigger bands to the bay will ensure the Mordi Fest is cemented as an iconic event.

“The review will also consider use of the Main Street service lanes and assess ticketing options.”

A report on Mordi Fest is expected to come back to Kingston Council later this year.

Police seize alleged meth in raid

POLICE seized around 200 grams of alleged methylamphetamine and cash from a house in Bonbeach last week.

Police raided the property on Wednesday, 29 March. It was one of 17 raids made under Firearm Prohibition Orders on the day.

Firearm Prohibition Orders were first implemented in May 2018. Police issue FPOs to individuals to prevent them from acquiring, possessing, carrying, or using firearm related items for up to a decade.

Around 1800 FPOs have been issued by Victoria Police in the last five years.

Victoria Police illicit firearms squad detective acting inspector Ash Ryan said “the implementation of the illicit firearms squad in 2020, complemented by the creation of the VIPER Taskforce in 2022, has given an increased focus on illicit firearms related offending. In 2021-22, Victoria Police seized a record 934 illicit firearms and there is no doubt that some of those

seizures have prevented people being seriously injured or even killed.”

“Firearms related violence is one of the most significant issues we face, however the majority of what are seeing involves targeted attacks between criminals. Victoria Police is tackling this issue from all sides – strong enforcement, targeted disruption, a focus on intelligence gathering and working with government to strengthen legislative powers,” Ryan said.

Study assists family violence campaigner

ANTI-DOMESTIC violence campaigner Rosie Batty was the guest speaker at a Chisholm Institute graduation event last week.

128 students received academic awards at the 2023 Chisholm Institute graduation ceremony at the Frankston Arts Centre.

Rosie Batty is a former Frankston Chisholm student. The 2015 Australian of the Year addressed the graduates, telling them her study helped her become an advocate for family violence victims after her son’s death.

“One of the subjects that I studied during my diploma was family violence, and that gave me the theoretical understanding and foundational knowledge to assist me on my journey to raise awareness of family violence, whilst challeng-

ing and seeking to change community attitudes,” she told the graduates. “My education foundations began at Chisholm, and I have certainly grown and developed enormously since then. Opportunities will become available to you throughout your life as well, and I encourage you to embrace them as they arise. I realise that life is a journey, a journey of continuous learning, and I learnt much from the two years I spent at Chisholm.”

Billions lost to scammers

THE increasing threat of online scams has prompted calls for caution.

The federal government estimates that each year, Australians lose $4 billion to scammers.

Dunkley MP Peta Murphy hosted a scam protection forum at Village Baxter last month. She has urged residents to be careful about online safety to avoid scams.

“Anyone can be victim of a scam. As a community it’s so important that we increase our confidence, skills, and online safety. That’s what this forum was all about.” Murphy said.

“Protecting consumers is a top priority for the federal government, with a new National AntiScams Centre, tougher codes, and a dedicated minister to deal with these issues, announced through the fighting online scams measure in the October 2022–23 budget.

“If you have been scammed, there are steps you should take including immediately contacting your financial institution, reporting the scam to Scamwatch, notifying police, and calling IDCARE on 1800 595 160 if you have released personal identifying information to a scammer. We know scams exist so it’s important we are on the lookout for them.”

MIKE GREEN, STANDING ON THE INSIDE (PRINTS 1980 - 1991)

MIKE Green is a Mornington Peninula-based self-taught representational artist who works across painting and printmaking. He has a new exhibition at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery featuring a print portfolio he generously donated to the Gallery’s collection. Standing on the inside (Prints 19801991) presents a selection from this body of work. The etchings, lithographs and screenprints depict a range of semi-abandoned, ageing and intimate interior spaces, within homesteads, houses and beach boxes; many are the fruit of Mike’s epic journeys throughout rural and urban Australia, Boston and beyond.

Alive with the possibility of artistic adventure; the prints highlight Mike’s technical skill and experimentation, his preoccupation with light, space, colour and our built environment. Born in New Zealand in 1945, arriving in Australia in 1949, Mike has exhibited in significant contemporary art galleries from the late 1960s into the 1980s when this portfolio was created. He has had an active career inside the art world, whilst mainly moving at its periphery.

Mike has travelled extensively over several decades, living on the Mornington Peninsula for over forty years with his wife Janet. MPRG is excited to present these works for the first time, as part of their local focus series of

exhibitions.

Head to the MPRG website to find out more about their autumn exhibitions, including Deborah Kelly’s CREATION and an exhibition of local VCE students titled New Wave 23. They also have an exciting program of school holiday workshops and an immersive ceremonial music and dinner experience with Deborah Kelly at Beleura House and Garden.

Anyone who remembers the haunting headlines will find this a stomach-churning revisit.

Overcome the challenge of stairs by future-proofing your home

STAIRS are the most common place for accidents to occur in the home and falls from stairs can have serious consequences.

Faced with this challenge, many people feel their only choice is to move to a single-level home.

If you are going to enjoy your retirement, then you need to address the issue of the stairs; whether it is carrying groceries or wood upstairs, struggling to walk down them yourself, or whether friends and family find them so hard to navigate that they no longer visit.

However when you go to look for single-storey homes, you may find that they are rare or expensive or just do not have the view. And besides, why lose all that money moving if you can stay safely in your home?

Australian RESiLIFT® inventor, Peter van Emmerik, conceived the first ‘through-floor’ residential lift because he wanted to empower people to stay in their home as they aged. He wanted to design a lift that was able to be installed into existing homes at an affordable price.

Peter’s award-winning lift has been replicated across the globe. His ground-breaking shaftless design was patented and has been the inspiration for many residential elevators.

“I designed this lift so people could stay safely in the home they love,” says Peter. “It saves time, effort and money that would otherwise be wasted moving home. It also removes the emotional anguish of being uprooted from your family home.” Without a doubt, installing a RESiLIFT® enables people to stay in their two storey or split-level home without the limitations and dangers of stairs.

“It’s such a relief! Now I know we can stay in our home! We love it!” says Margot Ling who installed a RESiLIFT® a few years ago. She said, “We love the area, we love living here, why would we move?!”

RESiLIFT® is not only an affordable solution, it’s a smart choice. The RESiLIFT® can be retrofitted into existing homes with minimal hassle. It can also be

easily installed in new builds. Many people on the Peninsula install the RESiLIFT® in their holiday houses as they prepare for their sea change. Despite its very small footprint, RESiLIFT® still fits two people. There are three different sizes available, some models can accommodate walkers and even wheelchairs.

RESiLIFT® has truly been a ‘life-saver’ in many people’s homes. With the potential upheaval of an unexpected diagnosis, injury or surgery, it’s good to know that at least the challenge of stairs is removed. One customer initially installed the lift for when their elderly parent visited, but it later helped when their grandchild developed mobility issues. For many customers who are still agile and mobile, the lift may just be

used for carrying loads of washing, suitcases or groceries. This is much safer than carrying these items on the stairs and will help them stay fit enough to enjoy the rest of their retirement.

Installing a residential lift in your home is enables you to stay in the home your love.

A safe and secure option for unlocking the equity in your home.

IN recent years, the rising cost of living has become a major concern for many individuals and families, particularly those who are approaching retirement age. As people look for ways to supplement their income and meet their financial needs, one option that has gained popularity is the option to release the equity in a home via a solution like Homesafe Wealth Release®.

Homesafe Wealth Release offers a unique solution to the financial challenges faced by many older Australians. By providing the ability for homeowners to access the equity in their homes without having to go into debt or downsize, Homesafe Wealth Release offers a way for individuals to pay off debt or supplement their retirement income and maintain their quality of life in the face of rising living costs.

The cost of living in Australia has been steadily increasing over the past several years, with expenses such as food, housing, and healthcare becoming increasingly expensive. For older Australians, who are often living on a fixed income, these rising costs can be particularly challenging. Many retirees find themselves struggling to make ends meet, even after many years of saving and investing for their retirement.

For over 17 years, Homesafe (in partnership with Bendigo & Adelaide Bank) has provided a tried and tested solution which has assisted thousands of homeowners by focusing on providing a secure equity release option – debt free.

A debt-free option is not a loan, and as you don’t borrow money, there is no capitalising interest costs. Repayments don’t apply, and instead the entitlement of the provider is capped so you can protect a portion of the equity in your home into the future. You can also sell your home at any time, or the provider will receive their entitlement when you pass away, and your home is sold.

Joan and Michael

In November last year, Joan and Michael from Rye, approached Homesafe to pay off their $90,000 loan and $25,000 credit card debt.

“For us, a debt free solution was the answer. We were struggling to make the interest payments on our loan, and now we can spend money on our garden and can retire without financial stress. Michael is waiting for surgery and the costs for his medical care have been a real worry to us. The relief that we could use the value of our home and access the cash we need without having to sell, was life changing!”

Initially Joan had investigated a reverse mortgage but they were not comfortable with that option in their circumstances.

A step ahead of the rest

“For us, the Homesafe solution was the answer. We didn’t want to replace one loan, with another. Homesafe really changed our lives for the better!”

They even ended up recommending the Homesafe product to their friends and neighbours!

How can I make an enquiry with Homesafe?

The team at Homesafe offer personalised service by phone initially, and a no-obligation meeting with a Homesafe Mobile Specialist in

your home is organised to ensure you can receive all the information you – and your family – need to make an informed decision.

Your hearing questions answered

Are there ever very simple solutions to hearing loss?

Cathryn: Yes. Sometimes a hearing loss can be caused by ear wax blocking the canal.

What brand of hearing aids to you recommend?

Do you have rules that you live by when treating patients?

Is it important for patients to see an audiologist if they think they may be having difficulties hearing?

Stacey: Yes, if you are starting to notice difficulties it’s important to have a full hearing test. We don’t just test which sounds you can hear, we also check how clearly you can understand speech, in quiet and in background noise.

Some common indications that you may have a hearing loss are:

• Turning the TV up

• Frequently asking for repeats

• Not being able to hear properly on the telephone

• Difficulty in noisy situations such as restaurants

• Missing out on important parts of the conversation

Often your partner or a close family member may be the first person to notice that you are having difficulty hearing.

It is true that a lot of patients don’t actually need hearing aids?

Cathryn: Yes. Probably 40 percent of those that we see do choose to get hearing aids. Some people have a little bit of hearing loss that we just need to talk about, and continue to monitor.

Are there steps people who aren’t ready for hearing aids can do to help combat hearing loss?

Stacey: Yes. Pick a seat in a restaurant where you can see the faces of the people that you are taking to. This can make it easier to follow what they are saying. With the television, if you’re not ready for hearing aids, we can get a set of cordless headphones. These can be one of the best options for hearing the TV clearly.

If someone needs a hearing aid, should they always choose the most expensive, top-of-theline model?

Stacey: Most people don’t need the most expensive hearing aids, fully loaded with all the bells and whistles. It really is patient specific. You don’t always need the absolute top-of the-line hearing aid technology, if the features that you need are available in something less expensive.

Cathryn: At Chelsea Hearing, we always offer you a range of options, and it is up to you to choose something that you are comfortable with. You should never feel pressured to proceed with hearing aids that you don’t feel ready for.

Are smaller hearing aids more expensive?

Stacey: Generally, the style of the hearing aid does not have very much impact on the price. There are very good, small hearing aids available at all price points. Larger hearing aids are not necessarily less expensive either. The good news is that the very small, comfortable hearing aids are suitable for most people these days.

How much do hearing aids cost?

Stacey: Most people who are on a Centrelink pension (such as an age pension or a disability pension) are eligible for the Hearing Services Program. This enables them to choose from a range of hearing aids that are fully subsidised. These hearing aids have improved significantly over the past few years, and a lot of people are pleasantly surprised at how natural they sound, and how small and comfortable they can be. Pensioners can also choose to contribute to more expensive hearing aids if they wish.

For people who are not eligible for the Hearing Services Program, hearing aids typically start at $2,700 for a pair.

Cathryn: Chelsea Hearing is an independent clinic. We fit hearing aids from all of the major manufacturers. Our recommendations are made after we have tested your hearing, looked in your ears, and had a discussion about the things that you want to hear well. We also take the time to consider your preference for style and size of the hearing aids, as well as your budget. We will recommend the most appropriate hearing aids for you, and we will always give you a range of options to choose from.

What is your philosophy on health care?

Cathryn: If I wouldn’t do it for my Mum or Dad, I don’t do it for a patient. When I’m making recommendations for a patient, I think “if this was my mum or dad, with this hearing loss, and these difficulties, would I be making the same recommendations?”. If the answer is “yes”, then I know I’m doing my best for a patient.

What does the relationship you have with your patients mean to you?

Stacey: The patient comes first. The patient is your customer and you want to help them hear as well as possible. To know that we are helping that person to hear is just rewarding.

What is one thing about your job that really sticks out in a positive way?

Stacey: It’s really nice to be able to make a difference for people. Often the partner of the person with a hearing loss may have been repeating themselves and having to speak louder for years. When we help with a hearing loss (often with hearing aids) it’s often the family members who notice the benefit first. They may notice that they don’t have to repeat things as much, and they don’t get so tired from speaking loudly all day. It can make a difference for the whole family.

Cathryn: My number one rule is to take things at the right pace of the individual patient. Some people come in here, and they know they want to get hearing aids and they want to get it all happening as quickly as possible. Other people come in, and they are having some difficulties hearing, but they don’t know if they have a hearing loss. They may need a little bit more time to understand their hearing loss, and the options available.

It doesn’t help anyone to push someone in to getting hearing aids before they are ready for them, or to pressure someone to purchase hearing aids that cost more than they are comfortable with. Sometimes the best thing to do is explain what’s causing the problem, and what solutions are available. It can also be helpful to bring your partner or a close family member to your appointment with you.

Audiologist, Cathryn Williams

Interview with Cathryn Williams & Stacey Laverty –Audiologists at Chelsea Hearing.

Frankston school picnic a children’s treat

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

AT the close of last year the school children were promised “the best of picnics and sports,” as a reward for a good year’s work and especially for their success in gaining merit and qualifying certificates, and right well was the promise honored, for last Thursday will long be remembered as a day of days.

This fine result was due to perfect organisation by the staff, and a hard-working committee of ladies of exceptional ability, backed up by generous donations from the parents and child-loving friends.

The contest, began at 10 o’clock and continued through the day with breaks at 11.30 for lunch and races; 2.30 for ice creams and a first-class Punch and Judy show, by “Millar”; 4 o’clock for tea; 5.30 for lollies, grapes, apples, etc., and at 6 o’clock for a nut scramble.

In addition to prizes won every child received a gift.

A commendable feature of the day was the precision with which each child knew, and kept, its allotted seat, under the generous shade of the pine trees, during the distribution of the foods at the several sittings.

Evidently a rehearsal had taken place the day before.

At the close the head master, Mr. Jennings, publicly thanked Mrs. Rogerson, Mrs. Amor, Mrs. Evans and the committee for their hard work, the superior quality of the food provided and their fine organisation.

He also thanked Mr. Lind, who had so ably helped him in the sports from early morning to the end.

The children then gave such ringing

cheers for their benefactor as must have wide-opened the eyes of the startled owls in the pines.

Two important events have yet to be contested – the swimming championship for boys and girls. For the former, Mrs. Amor has presented a watch, and for the latter a gold medal has been given by Mr. Lind. ***

THE first ball of the season was given by the Hastings Football Club in the Public Hall at Hastings on Monday evening.

The event was splendidly organised by the club’s secretary, Mr. H. Haddock, and its members, and the result fully justified the pains taken.

A record crowd attended, so that by 10 o’clock the floor was fully taken up by couples whose only concern in life seemed to be “On with the dance!”

It was a gay scene, and old and young were equally happy, as oldtime dances followed the modern jazz.

The floor was in splendid condition, and non-dancers standing round the doors, as they listened to Miss Romeo, the pianist, regretted longingly the neglect of their education in their early youth.

The streamer and confetti dance completed the scene of gaiety. A good supper and ice cream followed, allowing for a breathing space to prepare for the latter half of the programme, which was carried to 3 o’clock in the morning.

Mr. Arthur Howell, as master of ceremonies, kept a tight rein on each dance, even the waltzing competition not escaping comment.

Such control as this must lead to a

much improved standard of dancing. The winners of the waltzing competition were Miss D. Stanford and Mr. Cooage.

The one-step competition went to Miss R. Stanford and Mr. Martinoja.

In stating that the takings for the night were over £22, Mr. Haddock wished specially to mention the attendance rendered by the ladies. ***

AN application from Mr. Norman Clements read at the Council meeting today brought up the question as to whether Wells Street should be considered as a residential or a business street.

Mr. Clements owns a 60ft. allotment in Wells Street, on which is erected a cottage. He asked permission to subdivide the allotment into two blocks of 30ft. each, as he had a prospective purchaser of the vacant portion who was desirous of erecting a lock-up shop on the block.

Cr. Longmuir favored nothing less than 40ft. There was plenty of land in Frankston.

Cr. Alden: You will find lock-up shops in Bourke Street with a frontage of only 10ft.

Cr. Mason considered that Wells Street should be considered as a business street, and he moved that Mr. Clements’ application be granted. Seconded by Cr. May and carried. ***

THE attention of the Country Roads Board is to be drawn to the sharp turn at Strahan’s corner, on the Pt. Nepean Road, near Mornington, as several motoring mishaps have occurred there in recent years.

The traffic on the road is heavy, and

PUZZLE ZONE

the turn is too sharp for motors.

***

CLAUDE Parsons, of Mornington, met with a peculiar accident by falling upon a darning needle, which entered his stomach and placed him in a critical condition.

Dr. E. J. Somers had to operate to remove the needle.

Parsons was walking from one room to another with the needle in his hand, and tripped and fell upon it.

***

THE Prime Minister (Mr Bruce), who has been on a visit to Sydney, where he was accorded a great reception, returned to Melbourne on Thursday.

He will officially declare the Mount Eliza public hall open tomorrow, at which gathering there is expected to be a large attendance.

***

MISS Lena Werner, of Frankston, sailed by the Omar for Europe today, sailing via Colombo, Egypt, Naples, Toulon, Gibraltar and Plymouth.

***

“THE Standard” Delayed – Owing to a slight mechanical trouble in the intertype machine, which could not be repaired until this morning, owing to the holidays, the publication of this paper has been seriously hindered today.

With a little effort, however, we have been able to keep faith with our readers, though two pages less than usual.

***

TWO boys, 14 years of age, named George Steele and Matthew Madden, of Camberwell, who were staying at Mount Martha, had a narrow escape from drowning.

They went out to sea in a boat, which they took from the beach, and were soon lost to sight.

A fisherman (Mr. Whitehead) made a search for them, and it was with considerable difficulty that he took the boys from the boat in a heavy sea. ***

E. T. BYRON, formerly amateur champion of New South Wales, and subsequently a professional rider in America, who, competed at the Frankston sports on Monday last has challenged Ken Ross over five miles at the Exhibition tomorrow night. Byron is hopeful of succeeding where Jack Fitzgerald and Harris Horder have failed. ***

MR. Mason, of the Corowa “Free Press,” one of the principal newspapers in the Riverina, has been spending a short holiday at Frankston with his brother, Cr. W. P. Mason, J.P. ***

THE Frankston Pictures Co. Ltd. will present Dorothy Dalton, supported by Milton Sills, in “The Woman That Walked Alone” at Saturday’s pictures. In addition to an Arrow comedy, featuring Eddie Barry and Vera Reynolds, Justine Johnstone will be starred in “A Plaything of Broadway.” ***

THE Gippsland & Northern Cooperative Co. will conduct a clearing sale on Mr. J. Finch’s property at Seaford on Thursday next.

The list includes 120 cattle (including 30 milking cows), 300 sheep, 9 horses, and general farming plant. ***

Serious injury halts opening round clash

MPNFL

By Brodie Cowburn

DIVISION ONE

LANGWARRIN received a harsh introduction to the top division last Saturday.

Division one premiers Frankston

YCW played Langwarrin at Lloyd Park. Langwarrin went all of 2022 without defeat, but faced a significant challenge in the Stonecats in their 2023 season opener.

Frankston YCW put Langwarrin to the sword. The Kangaroos only kicked five goals all day, and were defeated 5.7 (37) to 14.13 (97).

Josh Patullo and Christian Tsiampas both kicked four goals for the Stonecats. Luca Goonan also impressed. Some poor goalkicking saved Pines from a huge defeat against Mt Eliza last Saturday.

Mt Eliza led Pines by a goal at halftime. The Redlegs piled on the pressure in the second half, but failed to make the Pythons pay on the scoreboard.

Mt Eliza kicked 5.20 (50) for the afternoon. Although it should have been by more they still managed to defeat Pines, who scored just 3.4 (22).

A fast start secured Frankston Bombers a good win over Bonbeach in their

season opener.

The Bombers booted six goals to two in a first-quarter blitz. Bonbeach wasn't able to get back in the contest.

The Bombers kept the Sharks at arm’s reach, and eventually ran out 9.7 (61) to 14.9 (93) winners.

Khan Haretuku and Lachlan Robinson scored three goals each for the victors. Harrison Prior was named best on ground.

DIVISION TWO

A SERIOUS injury forced the season opener between Karingal and Mornngton to be abandoned last Saturday.

Play was halted in the second quarter after a serious injury to Bulls player Reuben Hanson.

Karingal shared an update on Hanson after the game. He was taken to hospital by ambulance, and was diagnosed with a broken collarbone. He avoided any other major damage.

The club says Hanson is expected to miss up to eight weeks.

Devon Meadows sent a statement to the rest of the competition with a big win over Pearcedale on Saturday.

It was a dream start to the season for Devon Meadows. They debuted star signing Paddy Ryder in front of their home crowd, and dispatched Pearce-

dale with ease.

Pearcedale, who welcomed former Collingwood and Brisbane Lions star Dayne Beams to the side for the first time, didn’t score a goal until after three-quarter-time. They ended up succumbing to a comprehensive 14.15 (99) to 5.7 (37) defeat.

Dean Kent was among Devon Meadows’ best. Ryder also played well. Hastings also secured a comfortable win to start their 2023 season in style. They defeated Seaford by 53 points14.10 (94) to 5.11 (41).

Crib Point had a good day at home on Saturday. They overcame a poor start to upset Somerville.

The Magpies scored just one behind during a cagey opening quarter. They scored five goals in the second quarter to get back on top. Wayward kicking ended up costing Somerville. They scored one goal and six behinds in the final term.

Crib Point emerged from the hardfought contest victorious - 10.6 (66) to 6.13 (49). Warwick Miller booted four goals for Crib Point. Round one concludes this Friday. Chelsea hosts Edithvale-Aspendale, and Tyabb will host Rye.

Spivey seals Mentone victory

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

A MARCUS Spivey strike was enough for Mentone to emerge victorious in Saturday’s local derby against State 5 rival Seaford United.

Mentone’s talismanic scorer hit the target in the 17th minute after a move that typifies his team’s style under head coach Jason Grieve.

When Mentone wins possession its great strength is its ability to go forward quickly.

Spivey, Tyler Pollard and Frankie Varsamis form a combination of finishing, guile and pace and the decisive move on Saturday was set up by Pollard who was on the end of a long ball from Zaidan Allie on the left.

Pollard rolled the ball into the path of Spivey on the right and he gave Seaford keeper Bailey Caulfield no chance with a low strike from inside the area.

The home team’s custodian was deputising for injured number one Hayden Hicks who was one of eight first teamers missing through injury or unavailability.

While Varsamis was taunting and teasing opponents down the left his Seaford counterpart Andrew Packer was making life hard for Mentone’s defence but the home team’s inability to land a knockout blow on its opponent proved the difference on the day.

In NPL2 Langwarrin lost its second game of the season when it went down 2-1 to Preston Lions in front of a large crowd at Lawton Park last weekend.

The home side led at half-time thanks to a dreadful clearance from Preston keeper Sebastian Matosevic which was met first time by Langy captain Rogan McGeorge whose pass enabled Lenny Gregory to turn and slot home from close range.

Langy keeper James Burgess was put to the test in the second half and made some fine saves but he was powerless to stop Preston equalising in the 73rd minute.

An excellent reverse pass from John Roberts set up overlapping Dalibor Markovic on the left of the area and he squared the ball across the face of goal for a Jordan Figon tap-in.

And Figon’s second in the 83rd minute settled the issue.

He outmuscled Lucas Portelli on the left of the area then turned and from a one-on-one with Burgess struck the ball inside the far post.

In State 1 Mornington made it backto-back wins with Friday night’s 3-1

home success over Bentleigh United Cobras.

A first half double from star striker Rory Currie gave the Seagulls a 2-1 half-time lead and Mehdi Sarwari struck home the third goal after a couple of blocked attempts inside the area in the 74th minute.

In State 2 Skye United scored its first win of the season with a 1-0 away result against Brandon Park.

Skye keeper Jonathan Crook made a series of fine saves in the first half while defenders Alex Van Heerwarden and Brett Heskins also contributed to the clean sheet.

Skye had a mountain to climb when striker Leo McLeod was sent off in the 69th minute but against the run of play Mark O’Connor’s cross in the 87th minute was headed home by Heskins for the winner.

Peninsula Strikers went down 3-1 to Mazenod at Centenary Park on Saturday.

The visitors struck seconds into the contest after Ahmad Tabbara turned the ball over and Jamie Mammino thumped it home.

A Calvin Delaney error in the 7th minute saw Mazenod increase its lead as Jeremy Alleaume broke through and made no mistake from a one-on-one with Strikers keeper Ben

Sudoku and crossword solutions

Caballero.

Strikers spurned a series of chances – including a contentious first-half handball after Campbell Steedman had scored – but eventually broke through in the 61st minute with a superb Riley Anderton header from a pinpoint free-kick from Huss Chehimi.

But a Delaney own goal shortly after restored the visitors’ two-goal cushion.

Frankston Pines lost for the first time this season going down 2-0 away to Hampton East Brighton last weekend.

Pines gaffer Trevor Johnston gave a blunt assessment of his team’s display.

“We were really poor and didn’t deserve anything out of it,” he said.

In State 4 Somerville Eagles continued their fine start to the season with a 3-0 home win over Noble Park on Saturday.

Marcus Anastasiou opened the scoring early getting on the end of Ronnie Krishnan’s low cross from the right.

Tom Simmons’ brilliant strike in the 36th minute made it 2-0.

Somerville continued to create chances after the interval and was rewarded in the 85th minute when Tom

Simmons beat the offside trap and squared the ball to substitute Xavier Apela to tap into an open net.

It was Apela’s first senior goal and he had a day to remember scoring a hat-trick in the 8-1 reserves’ victory.

Chelsea had to settle for a point when it drew 1-1 at home to Lyndale United on Friday night.

Both goals came in the first half with Tim Koulouris putting Chelsea ahead in the 28th minute with a back post header from Adrian Pace’s corner.

The leveller came when Lyndale winger Anthony Zagami cut in and unleashed a shot that dipped and beat Chelsea keeper Tom Carter.

Lyndale’s Jaime Cerqueira was sent off for abusive language in the 64th minute but neither side could break the deadlock.

Baxter started the season with high hopes but after three games it remains winless and on Friday went down 5-0 away to White Star Dandenong.

In State 5 Rosebud stayed on top of the ladder thanks to a 3-0 win over Casey Panthers at Olympic Park on Saturday evening.

It’s a remarkable turnaround in the club’s fortunes given that it only won two games throughout last season.

pinned Saturday’s success and a fiery second half saw Rosebud’s Joe Donnelly and Casey Panthers’ captain Backtash Barakzoi both sent off.

Aspendale had a resounding 7-2 home win over Pakenham United last weekend while Mount Eliza lost 5-3 at home to Bunyip District.

Aspendale’s scorers were Gianluca Bozzo 2, Dom Paul 2, Kieran Hughes, Matthew Leggett and substitute Jarren Kilmartin.

Mount Eliza coach Bryce Ruthven was disappointed with the manner in which his side went 3-0 down in the first 19 minutes as well as the approach of the opposition.

“We cost ourselves the game conceding two average goals and giving away a penalty that was arguably one of the cleanest tackles I’ve seen in State 5 this season and was never a penalty,” Ruthven said.

“I thought our second half was excellent and showed what we’re about as a team but it's a learning curve for our young squad about how to manage State League football against sides that aren't interested in playing football.

“We have two new signings coming in this week and another after Easter so our squad will strengthen again before our next game after the bye and add quality State League experience to our side.”

Next weekend only NPL competitions will play league fixtures while State League clubs have a break over Easter.

Rush For The Inaugural Easter Sprint

By Julian Cook

Chocolate won’t be the only reason to run on Sunday with Mornington to host the first ever edition of the Mornington Peninsula News Group Easter Sprint over 1000m.

$27,000 in prize money is on offer for the short course specialists in the feature, a custom designed Catanach’s Jewellers trophy also going to the lucky winning connections.

The locals look likely to have a leading hope on Sunday with Rusheen targeting backto-back victories following his win here on March 21. The Toronado gelding is prepared by master trainer Tony Noonan and part-owned by Mornington Track manager Michael Suey.
