Woman dies after two-car crash

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

A DINGLEY Village woman has died from injuries sustained in a car crash last month.

The 84-year-old was driving a Toyota Camry on Westall Road in Springvale South on 17 July when the crash occurred. A little after 12pm, the Camry collided with a Toyota Prado.

The Camry driver was taken to hos-

pital with serious injuries. On 3 August, Victoria Police announced that she had died in hospital.

The other driver, a 59-year-old man from Mulgrave, was not injured in the crash.

Police are investigating the circumstances of the crash. They have asked anyone with dash cam or CCTV footage to contact Crime Stoppers to assist with the investigation.

The road roll in Victoria has skyrocketed this year. As of 6 August, 177 people have died on Victorian roads.

At the same time last year the road toll was 142, nearly 25 percent lower.

In a bid to slow the growing number of lives lost, Victoria Police conducted a special operation late last month. Police say they detected 230 offences on roads in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne over just one weekend.

Victoria Police undertook operation “Hammerhead” on 29 and 30 July. Extra resources were dedicated towards road policing on the Monash Freeway, Princes Highway, and surrounding roads.

In a statement, Victoria Police confirmed that it had caught 103 people speeding, six with a blood alcohol reading of more than 0.05, and seven under the influence of drugs.

Motorists were also caught driving while disqualified, failing to obey traffic signals, and on their mobile phones.

Victoria Police road policing operations and investigations division superintendent John Fitzpatrick said “state highway patrol will continue to run operations like Hammerhead to ensure we are catching and removing these

dangerous drivers from our roads.”

“Speeding continues to be a major contributor in serious injury and fatal collisions, and we are seeing that play out again in this year’s road trauma. The likelihood of being involved in a collision increases significantly when travelling at higher speeds. We need people to slow down and adhere to the speed limits, and those that do not will be held to account”.

Indigenous inspiration for school project

CARRUM Downs Secondary College has received grant funding to set up a native food garden and cultural meeting place.

The school has received $4200 to complete the project from South East Water’s community grant program.

Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said that the native food garden will be Aboriginal-inspired, and that the new space will help students “cel -

ebrate and fundraise for future Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander initiatives.”

“Supporting projects such as these, which have educational, environmental and cultural significance, helps to create an inclusive future where every student can thrive and contribute to the prosperity of their communities,” she said.

South East Water managing director

Lara Olsen said “South East Water is proud to support this amazing project that will enhance the cultural identity, wellbeing and education of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in our community. We look forward to seeing the benefits of this project connecting students with Country.” Native plants for the project will be sourced from the Willum Warrain Aboriginal Bush Nursery.

Debut exhibition comes alive with app

AN Aspendale artist is getting ready to show off her first solo exhibition.

Deb McNaughton’s work has made a mark on her local area. She has completed murals and sculptures for Kingston Council, and is now readying for her debut solo exhibition.

McNaughton’s exhibition, titled Alive, opens next month.

The exhibition will pair original paintings with augmented reality technology. McNaughton said “when visitors arrive at the exhibition, they’ll be prompted to download a free app that brings my original paintings to life when you look at them through your phone.”

“As you stroll through the intimate jungle, you are transported into a realm of wonder and imagination where paintings transform in front of your very eyes. Alive transcends the boundaries of conventional art, inviting viewers to interact and engage with the creations on a deeply immersive and emotional level.”

The exhibition will be based at The Green Space, 40 Balcombe Road in Mentone. It opens on 8 September and closes 22 September. For more information visit debmcnaughton.com/collections/workshops/exhibition

Pedestrian hurt in crash

POLICE are investigating a car crash which left a pedestrian in need of surgery last month. Police allege that the collision between the car and pedestrian occurred on Park Road in Cheltenham on 19 July. They say a man was crossing the road with his mother in front of a stopped truck when a car overtook on the wrong side and knocked him over.

The victim was left badly injured, requiring surgery on his fractured leg.

Police say the driver of the car parked around the corner to return to the scene, but left after refusing to provide his details.

Any witnesses have been asked to step forward. Contact Cheltenham Police on 9583 9767 to assist.

Strategy a sign of change

REDESIGNED public signs are expected to be installed around the Kingston municipality soon.

Kingston Council has engaged a consultant to put together a “wayfinding strategy”. The strategy assessed font sizes, colours, and languages used on local signs.

Acting Kingston mayor Chris Hill said that the new signs needed to be informative, inclusive, and consistent. “We want to make it clear and simple for people of all abilities to be able to enjoy Kingston’s many parks, cycling/walking paths, shopping precincts and more,” he said.

“Kingston has a lot of varied signs. Some of them are good, but some of them are quite old and need replacing. We now have a consistent approach moving forward, with the signs to follow an agreed contemporary format. We want our signs to provide important information, while keeping Kingston looking good.”

The new signs (pictured below) will feature artwork by artist Heather Kennedy.

Frankston retains tourist hotspot title

FRANKSTON is the third-best tourist destination in the state, according to a public vote.

At the 2023 Victorian Top Tourism Town Awards, Frankston won the bronze award for best town with a population of more than 5000 people. It is the second year running Frankston has taken out the bronze in that category. Ballarat and Bendigo won gold and silver respectively.

Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy said the result reflected a “new energy” in Frankston. “We’re seeing this in the crafters and inno -

vators that are setting up shop and bringing life to the street. It’s not just businesses, but also families who are flocking to this bayside destination to enjoy the best of all worlds,” he said.

“Frankston holds a special place in the hearts of both residents and visitors. We are so humbled that so many people chose to vote for Frankston to support the work we are doing to keep the city progressing into the future.”

The awards are determined by public voting.

Celebrating $800,000 win

A CARRUM Downs woman has won $800,000 from a lottery ticket purchased at her local shopping centre.

The winning ticket was purchased at Carrum Downs Lotto. The winner says she will use the money to visit her daughter overseas. “This is just so great. I’ve had such a terrible year last year, and this will change everything. I can finally see my daughter who lives overseas as well. She is always asking that I come see her,” she said. “I’ll be able to say goodbye to renting and hello to a brand-new unit.”

SOUND AND SILENCE: GROWING UP AS THE CHILD OF DEAF PARENTS

IT wasn’t until Jodee Mundy was five years old and lost at Kmart that she realised the rest of her family was Deaf. She didn’t see ‘disability’ – only the love and protection of those closest to her.

In the solo play Personal, she conveys her experience as the only hearing person in a Deaf family, through a captivating blend of performance, storytelling, multimedia and animation.

Mundy delves into the contradictions of inhabiting two worlds: living in a Deaf family, where using sign language is natural; and living in a society that sees only the family’s disability with voyeuristic curiosity.

The role children of Deaf adults play in paving the way for their family – as interpreter, authority, conduit – is central to this very

intimate story.

“Personal is really what it says it is – a very personal journey,” Mundy says. “And it’s one of joy, grief, reconciliation and interrogation. And it’s one asking society not to be complicit in the scenarios that I present, because it’s not just about me and my family, but what happens when we step out the door and go into society and then how I broker that.”

Created with a talented team of collaborators and presented in two languages via a virtual interpreter, Personal is a smart, touching and deeply personal work exploring dis/ability and how we perceive one another.

See Personal at Frankston Arts Centre’s Cube 37 Theatre on Thursday 28 September. Tickets available at thefac.com.au or by calling 03 9784 1060.

Utes and SUVs leave little space for parking cars

The time has come to have a good look at car parks. Most were designed when people drove cars, and a Ford or Holden station wagon was considered a big car. Nowadays they look like babies compared to the massive utes and SUVs which are filling our streets.

Vehicles such as the Dodge Ram and the soon to be introduced Ford F150 leave no room for others to get into or out of their vehicle if they are unlucky enough to have one of these park next to them.

I drive a Ford Falcon and the Ram is 600mm wider and almost 900mm longer than mine. The enormous blimps produced by a couple of German manufacturers are just as bad.

These days it seems a large ute or SUV is necessary, especially for the school run. That’s all very well, but when it comes to parking, these monsters are simply too big for existing car parks.

the old adage “buy in haste, repent at leisure” it is now.

Put the vibe to one side and really understand what [Anthony] Albanese’s commitment to the Uluru statement in full will mean for Australia. For your sake and that of your children read it before you vote.

Voice misinformation

Some of the reasons people have been giving me for not wanting to vote Yes [in the Voice to parliament referendum] are so bizarre that I feel the need to ask for clarification. A sample:

and Mount Eliza in July dispelled some myths (“Decision and discussion” Letters 1/8/23).

From the onset, I was moved by the eloquence of the Uluru Statement from the Heart with its message of Voice, Truth-telling and Treaty. Later, I discovered that the statement was proposed by the 16-member referendum council – a body jointly appointed by Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten in 2015 – endorsed by 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders and created in consultation with 1200 other Indigenous representatives over six months. Hardly elitist like some claim.

While some are concerned about the inclusion of the words “executive powers”, the release by Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus of the solicitorgeneral’s advice on the matter made it a nonissue for me. The advice was, “… in my opinion proposed [section] 129 is not just compatible with the system of representative and responsible government prescribed by the Constitution, but an enhancement of that system”.

1/8/23).

Members of Repower Mornington Peninsula are paving the way and are most deserving of their nomination for the Keep Australia Beautiful Tidy Towns and Cities awards.

As our state government has acknowledged with its ban on new gas connections from 2024, one of the best ways to address climate change is to electrify everything: homes, businesses and transport systems, and power them with renewable energy. Repower Mornington Peninsula sees the cost, health and environmental opportunities inherent within this switch.

Local citizens working toward community decarbonisation is important and empowering. Let’s all get on board. Amy Hiller, Kew

No credit in units

The ongoing lie with all the hallmarks of robodebt style denial and obfuscation is that the Australian carbon credit units scheme is doing a good job, not wasting many hundreds of millions of dollars on dud “carbon farming” projects and is not simple greenwashing.

Wheeler, Mornington

The simple solution is to ban these vehicles from regular parking spaces and have an area at one end of a car park with bigger spaces marked out. They should be barred from entering spaces such as the underground car parks at Mornington Central and the Village (Mornington). Leave them for those with more modest transport, which includes a significant proportion of the Mornington Peninsula’s residents of advancing years. Jack

‘Yes’ deception

I sincerely want Indigenous people to have a voice to government which will work effectively to close the gap, but I shall be voting No to the Voice as proposed.

Entrenchment of the Voice in our constitution is not needed to take action to address this gap. Entrenching the Voice is to provide an entry platform for treaty, land rights, damages and reparation, and to ensure that when the Voice is seen not to work as innocently as is now being portrayed, it will be impossible to redress.

Fortunately, you don’t have to take my word for it as this is fully spelled out in the Uluru statement, hidden by this government from the Australian public until finally obtained under FOI. Read the statement yourself and then ask why the prime minister repeatedly tells us that it is a very modest request with limited powers which occupies merely a single A4 page.

The Uluru statement, which the PM promises to honour in full, is 26 pages long and the reason for this deception will become frighteningly clear upon reading past that first page.

If ever there was a critical time to remember

1 If we vote Yes the First Nations people are saying (who/when through what media?) that they will claim ownership of all Australian land and we will have to buy our existing homes/ businesses whatever, from them.

2 All new homes will then require the consent of the elders of the land on which your home is to be built prior to a building permit being granted. All boundaries will be determined by them.

My wife and I spent 10 years plus living and working among Northern Territory First Nations peoples on seven different communities. Our understanding of the culture of all these different people groups is that they do not own the land, the land and they are one.

It is a significant spiritual aspect of who they are and for this to change would involve them no longer being Aboriginal.

I have seen no evidence that such a major shift has occurred after the thousands of years they have been here and that this has been the basis of their existence. Ken

Norris, McCrae

Self-recognition

Voice, Treaty, Truth. Truth? Fair-haired, fairskinned, English-speaking, western-educated, professional “Aboriginal” activists, who do not even acknowledge their obvious white ancestry, would not recognise truth if it turned into a giant bull ant and bit them on the bum.

Albert Riley, Mornington,

Yes, a moment of joy

I have been astounded at the misinformation being bandied around about the Voice. Hopefully, the information sessions held at Flinders

Knowing that should the referendum be successful parliament will determine the details of how the Voice will operate is good enough for me. Having lived through the successful referendum of 1967, I very much hope to live through another.

A majority vote of Yes will be a joyous moment for all Australians and First Nations people the world over. Ray Peck, Hawthorn

What’s happening?

August already, the politicians back from their break to drive us crazy. Opposition leader Peter Dutton sprouting doubtful claims on the effects of a Yes vote for the Voice, [former prime minister] Scott Morrison defending his involvement in the Robo-debt disaster and Barry Jones chipping in with the unspoken subtext “I oppose any change to the Australian Constitution, although I have never read it and have no idea what is in it”.

Our Prime Minister Anthony Albanese also defending stoutly with his problems, energy charges and rent increases.

Antarctica is melting, an Argentina-sized amount of sea ice. And scientists don’t know why? And [Victorian premier] Danny Andrews is unwell.

So much happening after five days in Frankston Hospital undergoing something call an angiogram, reminiscent of a production room in a chicken factory. And locally, potholes.

I’ll think about all this tomorrow, after my two beers at Rye RSL. Cliff Ellen, Rye

Electrifying message

Given that July was likely the hottest month planet Earth experienced for 120,000 years, we would do well to put up our hands to tackle the pressing and escalating problem of global heating (“Hands up for ‘decarbonisation’” The News

We are being conned by the Labor government into thinking Australia will meet its climate targets. The only way it will meet this target is to continue to use dodgy and outright fraudulent carbon credits.

The “numbers” will work but big polluters will rely on dubious carbon credits for offsets so they can increase CO2 emissions while greenwashing that they are reducing CO2. Want to produce and use more fossil fuels? No problem, just buy a bunch of these carbon credits and pollute away.

Professor Andrew Macintosh published a paper with colleagues describing some of these schemes as an “environmental and taxpayer fraud” and supplied what he described as a “mountain of evidence”.

Investigation into Verra carbon standard finds most are “phantom credits”, more than 90 per cent of rainforest carbon offsets by biggest certifier are worthless and may worsen global heating.

The most prominent reason why carbon projects are bogus is when carbon credits are issued protecting forests which were never in danger. A significant percentage of the projects, more than 90 per cent of their rainforest offset credits – among the most commonly used by companies – are likely to be “phantom credits” and do not represent genuine carbon reductions.

Then there is the Papua New Guinea scandal where New Ireland Hardwood Timber claims carbon credits on land that is being commercially logged that appears to have been permitted by PNG authorities since 2020.

Companies are using credits to make claims of reducing emissions when most of these credits don’t represent emissions reductions at all.

Horse drawn carriage makes a comeback

A FULLY restored horse-drawn tram that has been modelled on a 19th century form of early transport has come home to Sorrento.

The original tram was supplied by English-born entrepreneur George Coppin in the late 1800s and was the original mode of transport for people disembarking from the Queenscliff ferry. It would meet the ferry and give passengers the option of being taken up the hill or taken to the ocean back beach.

Over time the vehicle was lost but an exact replica was built by John Clark, a descendant of one of the original first settler families.

Clark ran the tram through the Sorrento’s main street with the help of Clydesdales horses Roy, Bluey and Beau before selling it to Sorrento antiques store owner Marlene Miller, who then operated it along Sorrento’s main street from Stringers store to the back beach in the 1990s.

The tram was then operated for a short time by Gunnamatta Trail Rides but was eventually taken to Queenscliff, where it was restored and put back to work along with other horse-drawn vehicles.

Eventually Miller bought it back and it

has recently come home to Sorrento.

“Our beautiful Clydesdales are now gone and the horse paddock is now the car park, so the tram has come home to the main street and lives between the antique shop and Flat Blk cafe, where it is well used by people who sit and have their coffee,” Miller said.

“Due to the weather and sea air, it has been out of action for a while as it had to be restored again, but thankfully this has now happened and it is back to its former glory.

“Huge thank you to the amazing Larry Callaghan for getting the fabulous team of Glen Sherlock, Dave Lawson and Neil Hyde to fix this icon of Sorrento to enjoy.”

In the late 1800s, ferry passengers disembarked and walked along the pier where they encountered waiting horsedrawn “cabs” – or they could take a footbridge to Tramway Hill where a waiting steam train was blowing its whistle.

The return trip cost six pence (the equivalent of about $25 today) and, once boarded, it was a short haul up a hill to the Continental Hotel before turning right down the main shopping street on the one-mile journey to the ocean beach park.

The Age of High Prices - The High Cost of Living

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

IT seems incredible, but never-theless, it is true, that in this great continent of Australia with its scanty population and its wide reaches of good pastoral and agricultural land and a climate unsurpassed in the world for its mild range of temperatures, that the products of the soil should practically be out of the reach of most people by their excessive cost.

Perhaps in no other country is it possible to keep stock during the winter without hand-feeding and housing, but, despite that great advantage arid the benefit of large stations, some of which in area approximate the size of a principality in Europe, we find today that meat is dearer than in any other country in the world.

The whole of the population of Australia amounts to about two-thirds of the population of London, but though so many thousands of miles distant, London citizens purchase the pick of Australian grown produce at cheaper rates than what we pay for the second-class goods not up to export requirements.

This also applies to all our produce, and if we export all our best hides, wool and grain, we can only expect that to get a good article of clothing or boots we ask for an English made article.

Should people in England today be asked to pay prices at present charged for fresh meat they would be astounded, and well might they be.

At present charges a working man, to keep in bodily condition, must consume a certain amount of meat each day; the cost of this necessary sustenance means that not much less

than one pound per day must be paid for labor.

If much less is given then the working class must either become less efficient through lack of proper sustenance, or drift back financially.

There can be no other outlook. A working man requires so much meat daily that at his present daily wage he cannot afford this meat, which from being a common necessity, has now become a luxury; yet, why should it be so when in Queensland fat cattle are worth less than what fat sheep are worth here at present?

Why not send Queensland frozen meat here instead of to London? This is where politics and the Navigation Act comes in. However the Commonwealth Government are giving a bounty of up to £160,000 on export meat, while a wide awake citizen of Melbourne, like Mr. John Wren, imports thousands of fat cattle from New Zealand to help the butchering trade of Melbourne to carry on in a almost critical situation.

Where is the statesmanship that controls the destinies of this great Commonwealth – a continent that should be self-contained, but which in a period when peace has full sway, and no untoward circumstances have happened to unduly disturb local production, we find meat unobtainable, and yet in Queensland unsaleable?

In a future contribution I may deal with matters relating to the fat stock markets half a century back, when shipping facilities were not obtainable.

attended the pictures in the Mechanics’ Hall. He tied his horse to a pine tree in the hall yard.

Some hours later he found the horse lying dead at the foot of the tree. It had apparently been strangled. The top portion of the tree to which the horse was tied had snapped off and fell near the horse.

It is surmised that the frightened beast in its efforts to obtain release, strangled itself.

LAST Monday night a large number of ladies formed themselves into a committee to assist in carrying out the children’s fancy paper dress ball, to be held in the Palais de Danse on Thursday, 16th August.

They were welcomed by the president of the A.N.A., Mr. W. Lind, who expressed pleasure, on behalf of the branch, for the interest shown.

Mrs. Lind, wife of the president, was voted to the chair, and good progress was made.

Family tickets may be procured at 5/- each, and these will admit any number of one family to the dancing floor.

The proceeds of the ball will be devoted to the Frankston soldiers’ hall.

A NOVELTY golf match was played on Tuesday, 7th inst., from Mentone to Mordialloc golf links, between Frank Dempsey and the Mordialloc golf club’s champion, Fred Lording. Dempsey started off by putting his ball into a house just being built.

Lording found a drain which, cost seven strokes to get out, and further on Dempsey got into a cabbage patch and after a great effort succeeded

in getting out, but not until he had knocked the hearts out of a few cabbages.

On again, Dempsey had the misfortune in hitting a cow which resulted in the animal badly straining its milk.

Next episode was when Lording played his ball into someone’s back yard, which finished in the dog kennel and had much difficulty in extricating it, as Dempsey had to keep the dog off while he played his stroke.

The play was very even up to this, Lording had played 40 strokes and Dempsey 37.

Approaching Pt. Nepean road, Dempsey’s ball finished in a motor car that had been abandoned on the road, and being afraid of doing damage they agreed to lift the ball out.

Both players, after leaving the road got into a fowl yard, and after damaging the wire netting managed to get out without any foul strokes.

The play then found the open country, and with the exception of a few water holes and rabbit scrapes the game ended in favor of Lording, who did the full journey in 61 strokes against Dempsey’s 81.

The loser has issued a challenge for a return match, which was agreed upon to take place next week from Dandenong to Mordialloc.

MISS Ivy Pepper, assistant in the Frankston school, has been selected

by the Education Department to proceed to England as an “exchange” teacher.

The idea of this interchange of teachers with the mother country and the Dominions, is to widen the experience of teachers, exchange ideas, and knit the bonds of Empire more strongly together.

Miss Pepper was enthusiastically farewelled by the pupils last Monday, under the chairmanship of Master Roy Salmon.

A wonderful programme of music, songs, recitation, dialogues, character sketches and dances were presented in very fine style and frequent flashes of brilliancy were observable.

At the conclusion the head master (Mr. J. D. Jennings) thanked Miss Pepper for the fine work she had done, especially in the teaching of swimming and life-saving, and expressed regret at her departure and congratulations on her preferment. On behalf of the pupils he then presented her with a unique carry-all, a hot water bottle, and another small, but appropriate, present.

After Auld Lang Syne was feelingly sung, Miss Pepper departed amid cheers and with a numerous escort.

Tigers’ winning streak is over, goals galore in Division Two

NEXT WEEK’S GAMES

DIVISION ONE

LANGWARRIN scored the upset of the season against undefeated Dromana at Lloyd Park last Saturday.

Dromana has been dominant this season. The premiership favourites came into the match 15-0 for the year. Langwarrin on the other hand have struggled, and sit in ninth place with just two wins to their name.

The Kangaroos were up for the fight all day long. Dromana led at the halftime and three-quarter-time breaks, but

survival. They now sit six points clear of Bonbeach, who nearly pulled off a miracle of their own on Saturday.

Bonbeach almost defeated secondplaced Frankston YCW at John Coburn Oval last weekend.

The Sharks led early, but Frankston YCW were able to take back control. At half-time the Stonecats led by two points.

Frankston YCW opened up a 20 point lead in the third term, but Bonbeach wasn’t ready to give up. The Stonecats scored just one goal in the last quarter, but that was enough to hold off the fastfinishing Sharks.

Frankston YCW managed to beat Bonbeach 11.1 (76) to 11.4 (70). Josh

Sorrento’s finals hopes were kept alive by a thrilling victory over Mt Eliza. The Sharks beat the Redlegs by just one point at David Macfarlane Reserve. Pines comfortably beat Red Hill to round out the winner’s list.

DIVISION TWO

WITH just one round remaining in the home-and-away season, EdithvaleAspendale is in pole position for a finals berth.

Edi-Asp finished the weekend in fifth place after a huge win over Hastings. They were awesome in front of their home crowd - Edithvale-Aspendale dominated from the outset with a

To keep their finals hopes alive, Pearcedale had to beat Rye. They had little trouble on their home deck, and went on to claim a 91 point win 25.21 (171) to 12.8 (80).

Luke Daniel booted seven goals for Pearcedale.

With finals spots on the line, Pearcedale will play Seaford away from home this Saturday. Although they are in pole position now, EdithvaleAspendale face the more difficult task of beating Mornington under lights.

Chelsea was effectively eliminated from finals contention last weekend after a big loss to Mornington. The

Can Pines avoid the drop?

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

FRANKSTON Pines’ season goes on the line on Saturday night when it meets Berwick City at Monterey Reserve.

It’s a do-or-die clash for both sides given the relegation scrap in which they find themselves.

There’s just three games left with Pines precariously perched in second last place on the league ladder (at present the bottom two go down) a point behind Berwick and two points behind Skye United.

Skye hosts Berwick the following week.

Describing Pines’ season as topsyturvy is an understatement.

Losing last season’s strike force due to players switching clubs and work commitments posed a problem that’s never been solved.

And the Fijian experiment has failed to match expectations.

Players have been brought here from Fiji and most have either switched clubs or returned to their homeland.

Both Anish Khem and Sava Baledrokadroka left the club during the season but have recently returned while upheaval in coaching ranks hasn’t helped with Trevor Johnston resigning to be replaced by former coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor.

There have been lengthy suspensions to club associates handed down by Football Victoria over incidents in the first half of the season and the feeling that Pines have lurched from one crisis to another is prevalent.

“It certainly has been challenging,” Taylor said.

“And yes we haven’t really solved the problem up front.

“We’ve been creating plenty of chances but we haven’t been taking them.

“Getting Dylan (Waugh) back (from work commitments) has given us a different dimension but his fitness is not quite there to last the 90 minutes.”

Both Graham Hill and Tom Hawkins will miss Saturday’s showdown due to suspension while Khem and Baledrokadroka will be monitored at training this week.

“Berwick’s a little bit like us in that they’ve got some good results and virtually picked up points when we’ve picked up points,” Taylor added.

“They brought in a few more players recently and I expect them to have the same mindset that we have – our fate’s in our own hands and we’ve just got to keep winning and we’ll stay up.

“Last time we played them (a 3-2

“Look I’d like to think that we’ve got sufficient [sic] to pick up three points and to stay alive going into the last two games.”

Last weekend was a scheduled catchup round for NPL and State League clubs and there was only one game in town – the State 4 derby between Somerville Eagles and Baxter at Tyabb Central Reserve.

It proved to be an emphatic 3-0 victory for the visitors which lifted them above Somerville into third place in State 4 South.

Baxter had the better of the early exchanges with a Keegan Myatt shot and a Jack Elliott header going close.

Somerville replied with a Conor Mcfall shot that flashed across the face of goal in the 10th minute.

Injury forced Noah Green to be replaced by Robbie O’Toole in the 64th minute and four minutes later O’Toole made it 2-0.

Slick interpassing down the left ended with Myatt passing to O’Toole whose low shot beat a diving Bucello at the near post.

Somerville had difficulty prising open the Baxter defence and the result was already beyond doubt when Myatt nabbed his second goal deep into injury time.

The clash was live streamed with Baxter supplying the equipment and knowhow and Steve Smith and Baxter president Bray Hodgkinson commentating with Pines coach Taylor provid-
