Bypass on way Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE long-mooted Mordialloc bypass is expected to be built by 2021 after the state government announced $300 million for the project in the 2017-18 state budget unveiled on Tuesday (2 May). A 9-kilometre road will be built between Springvale Rd in Aspendale Gardens and the Dingley Bypass in Clayton South to ease congestion in the south east. The new Mordialloc bypass will link up with the existing Mornington Peninsula Freeway in a bid to prevent traffic jams and delays in peak hour traffic. Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Richardson welcomed the funding for the bypass. “I am so proud that the Labor government is building this vital and necessary road, to support local jobs and get you to work and home sooner and safer,” he said. Premier Daniel Andrews said the government is “getting on with the job” of improving transport infrastructure as part of a $9 billion infrastructure spend on roads, level crossings removals, education and health ahead of next year’s state election. “We’ll build the Mordialloc bypass to slash congestion and create jobs in Melbourne’s south east,” Mr Andrews said in a statement. VicRoads will consult with Kingston

Cnr Springvale Rd & Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights PH: 9773 4453 www.chelseaheightshotel.com.au

Council, transport businesses and residents about plans to build the Mordialloc Bypass from Aspendale Gardens to Clayton South. A cycling and walking path will be built alongside the 9-kilometre bypass. An overpass will separate the new bypass from the busy Springvale Rd intersection that often sees Mornington Peninsula Freeway traffic backed up in busy travel periods. A 4.5 kilometre Mordialloc bypass was promised in 2014 by the previous Coalition state government, under then premier Denis Napthine, at a cost of $300 million. That bypass, had the Coalition won government again, would have ended at Lower Dandenong Rd in Braeside. State Liberal opposition spokesman for roads and infrastructure Ryan Smith criticised the state government for “going back to the drawing board” on the Mordialloc bypass. “Under the previous Coalition government, works on the Mordialloc bypass would have commenced a year ago, under Daniel Andrews work won’t begin until 2019,” he said in a statement. Other major funding boosts for the Kingston area in this year’s state budget included $20.5 million to demolish and rebuild the Yarrabah School in Aspendale and $2.8 million to build a new base for the Chelsea SES unit.

Sports bar’s big win on appeal Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

Blind taste: Blindfolded guests gets a taste of what it’s like to be blind at the dinner table.

Dark dinner vision for charity DINING out when you’re blind or have low vision is much more complex than just finding the food on your plate. To demonstrate this, Vision Australia has developed a fundraiser for blindness and low-vision services: Dinner in the Dark will be held at Doyle’s Bridge Hotel, Mordialloc, 7pm, Saturday 20 May. The organisation’s south-east regional manager Janet Lloyd-McNelis says people with a vision impairment face many challenges when eating at a restaurant. “A lot of our clients can find it quite challenging if the lighting is poor, or the printing on the menu is too small or hard to read, the restaurant is hard to navigate and if you can’t see what’s on your plate,” Ms Lloyd-McNelis said. “It can be embarrassing, especially if you’ve suffered recent vision loss.” Dinner in the Dark guests are blindfolded

or given goggles to simulate one of a range of vision conditions. “This shows everyone in the sighted community some of the logistical difficulties that people with a vision impairment face every time they do something as simple as going out for a meal.” Money raised supports Vision Australia services for those who are blind or have low vision. The organisation is Australia’s largest provider of services to the blind and low vision community. It offers the services of occupational, orientation and mobility specialists, assistive technology consultants, support for My Aged Care and National Disability Insurance Scheme and access to physical activities and social groups. Tickets for Dinner in the Dark are $65 per person, or $55 per person for bookings of four people or more. Bookings close 13 May. Call 8791 0201 or email dandenong@visionaustralia. org

A SPORTS bar will be built on Mordialloc’s Main St after clinching a controversial extra-time win at VCAT. A three-level Sporting Globe and Grill bar, with a maximum capacity of 450 patrons and open-air rooftop bar, will be built at 590 Main St despite 161 community objections to the bar. Kingston councillors unanimously voted to reject the planning application late last year (“Sports bar on the outer”, The News 7/12/16) but the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal effectively overruled council last month to give the sports bar the go ahead. Objectors raised concerns about anti-social behaviour, littering, a lack of car parking spaces in Main St and the sports bar having no loading bay for deliveries. Empire State Holdings Pty Ltd was granted permission to build a Sporting Globe bar after VCAT senior member Margaret Baird decided in a 51page ruling that “the proposal will add to entertainment options on offer and may complement the maritime/event focus” of the Mordialloc Activity Centre. “It is not possible for a licensee to manage patron behaviour well beyond the site’s environs,” Ms Baird said in the ruling. “No-one can guarantee that there will not be incidents associated with existing licensed premises or the proposed tavern. I accept submissions by residents that there have been incidents of inappropriate behaviour including aggressive conversations,

littering and, potentially, more offensive and/or violent alcohol-fuelled behaviour.” The nearby Woolworths supermarket also opposed the construction of the sports bar on car parking grounds but VCAT noted: “The Woolworths car park serves the public and not just its customers.” Ms Baird believed there would be ample car parking available for bar patrons but did note “high parking demands occur” during December to February. Mordialloc resident and objector Paul Cahir slammed the VCAT decision. “If you think you have difficulty finding a parking spot in Mordialloc shopping centre now, just wait till this Sporting Globe tavern opens,” he said. “It’s going to attract the wrong demographic, with lots of young males with hot cars to Mordialloc to watch major sports from around Australia and around the world – AFL, Superbowl, cage-fighting. “Victoria Police will need to be on alert to sort out the mayhem. Shoppers might have to shop elsewhere to get a park.” VCAT stated it could not “explore community concerns with online betting, gambling and gaming” in relation to a TAB outlet operating at the Sporting Globe venue. Alcohol and gambling licences are provided by the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation. The existing AKL Discount Store in Main St will be partly demolished to build the new sports bar. Empire State Holdings operates several Sporting Globe and Grill bars around Victoria — including in Richmond, Fountain Gate and Moonee Ponds — where sports fans can watch big game action on big screens.

Fire ceremony: Kilbreda students gain indigenous blessing as they work towards reconciliation.

Carrying torch for reconciliation THIRTEEN years 9 and 10 students and two staff members from Kilbreda College, Mentone, were recently appointed Friends Igniting Reconciliation through Education (FIRE) carriers. The commissioning ceremony was led by Sherry Balcombe, of the Aboriginal Catholic Ministry of Victoria. The college and its community, which recognises that it is standing on the sacred land of the Bunurong people of the Kulin nation, acknowledged that the 15 FIRE carriers were responsible for educating themselves, their peers and the community to respect and celebrate indigenous culture. “As a school community, we have a responsibility to acknowledge the discrimination and injustice that has been inflicted on indigenous Australians,” co-principal Teresa Lincoln said.

“It is our responsibility to promote equality by honouring each unique culture in our society.” During the commissioning ceremony, which stemmed from the college’s existing commitment to reconciliation, the FIRE carriers were welcomed with a traditional blessing by Ms Balcombe which took place around a fire symbolising the heart of Aboriginal culture. Significantly, a sacred prayer more than 40,000 years old belonging to the Aboriginals of the Kimberly was read by the new FIRE carriers. Kilbreda College respects indigenous spiritual connections and beliefs and aims to work with others to reconcile wrongs done in the past and deepen the understanding of indigenous cultures, Ms Lincoln said.


Police patrol Erratic getaway

Punches thrown

FOUR men wearing fluoro vests and using a concrete saw were disturbed while trying to cut open an ATM at an Aspendale Gardens shopping centre, 2.50am, Wednesday 26 April. The men, driving an $80,000 Holden HSV Club Sports sedan stolen in an aggravated burglary from a house in Berwick in February, forced open glass sliding doors to the shopping mall and began cutting into the ATM – but caused so much noise that neighbours called 000. Police investigating a nearby burglary arrived quickly and chased the men’s getaway car, causing it to smash into another vehicle and deploying its airbags. Detective Senior Constable Paul Keen, of Kingston CIU, said the men were seen “driving away erratically” and trying to manoeuvre the car with the bags fully inflated. They were spotted in Keysborough at 6.30am before torching the car on the corner of Chapel and Keys roads, Moorabbin.

A DELIVERY driver was punched more than a dozen times to the head and body in an unexplained attack behind Thrift Park shopping centre, 10.15am, Wednesday 26 April. The driver, 37, was unloading stock behind a restaurant when he became involved in an argument with a shopkeeper. Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Cashman, of Kingston CIU, said threats were made and punches thrown. The delivery driver was hit six to eight times before trying to flee and a further six to eight times while standing or laying on the ground. He received minor injuries in the incident but did not require hospital treatment – and still managed to continue his rounds.

Garbo driver attacked A GARBAGE truck driver in Mentone was punched in the face four times by the passenger of a car who claimed he had “nearly hit my cousin’s car”. The driver, 59, told Kingston detectives he was doing his rounds in Como Pd East, 8am, Wednesday 26 April, when he saw two men in a silver Mercedes parked near the library. He took no further notice until he saw the men approach, with one climbing up to the cab and punching him in the face. The man returned to his car and drove off, leaving the driver in shock. The garbo followed the men to the intersection of Nepean Hwy and White St, Mordialloc, and got out to confront them, but they drove off. The Mercedes is a C250 sedan.

Attempted break-in TERRIFIED Coles staff watched on as two men attempted to force their way through the front doors of the Patterson Lakes store, 4.50am, Tuesday 25 April. A staff member heard a noise at the front of the store, in Gladesville Blvd, and saw the men wearing balaclavas and fluoro vests using a jemmy bar on the door. He yelled at the men to go away but they moved on to a side door, trying to smash a hole so they could reach in and press the door-release button. Staff members ran to the back of the store and called 000. The men had gone by the time police arrived. Detectives are examining CCTV footage to identify the men. Anyone with information about any of these incidents can provide information in confidence at crimestoppers.com.au online or by calling Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

A reversal of “devastating cuts” to funding for community legal centres has been welcomed by federal Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus. Planned federal government funding cuts that had been planned to take effect on 1 July but federal Liberal Attorney-General George Brandis announced last week the government will provide an extra $55.7 million over the next three years to the legal services sector as part of the 2017-18 budget. About $39 million of that money will go to community legal centres and $16.7 million to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander legal services.

The National Association of Community Legal Centres also welcomed the decision to abandon plans to cut funding to legal centres by about 30 per cent. Mr Dreyfus said any cuts to Peninsula Community Legal Centre funding would “hit the local community incredibly hard”. “It would have resulted in the loss of free legal advice for some of Frankston and Kingston’s most vulnerable residents,” he said. National Association of Community Legal Centres CEO Nassim Arrage said the announcement is “excellent news for all those people who rely on the help of CLCs every day”. “This funding is a lifeline for a sector that was facing significant cuts,” Mr Arrage said. “The reversal will mean people across Australia

Celebrations mark church’s 90th PARISHIONERS at Aspendale Presbyterian Church celebrated 90 years of services on Sunday with a birthday party and cake. The original church was built by volunteers in the sandy soil, when roads were just dirt and before Aspendale Primary School was in its second year. After completion in 1927, the first service was held on 24 April – an event the presentday 130-strong congregation celebrated with a service and lunch. Current minister The Reverand Brett Peatman reflected on how one of the first ministers was commended for his “unspectacular preaching”. Moderator General of the Presbyterian Church of Australia, the Reverand John Wilson, spoke of the commitment it takes to build a community around Jesus Christ. As part of its vision, the church recently received council approval for a $25,000

playground for use by church members and Aspendale playgroups. The changing face of the community was also seen in the music at the service: A hymn was played by a 97-year-old organist Hedley Thomas and contemporary Christian songs were sung by Hamish Peatman, 7, with his siblings – Angus, 9, drums, Emily, 12, flute and Tim, 13, guitar. Mum Alyson played piano. Details: aspendalepc.org.au

Best wishes: The cake is cut by Hamish Peatman and Rae Brazier surrounded by wellwishers, including the mayor Cr David Eden, and councillors Tamsin Bearsley and Georgina Oxley, watched by Rev Brett Peatman and other ministers and elders of the congregation.

for legal centres will get access to the legal help they were going to be denied from 1 July if the funding cuts went ahead.” Mr Brandis said the grant was the largest ever single commitment on an annualised basis by the federal government to the legal assistance sector. He said it was not a one off, ad-hoc payment. “These arrangements will give the sector the resources … and certainty they have been asking for.” Mr Brandis said the government was adding $39 million to women’s and domestic and family violence services. “Since we announced the women’s safety package in 2015, public awareness of family violence has escalated dramatically,” he said. “The Women’s Legal Service has been at the forefront of that advocacy. But I also want to, of course,

acknowledge and single out Rosie Batty for her leadership in public advocacy of the issue. “The growing public awareness of the issue has seen a parallel increase in people coming forward needing help.” He said the $39 million over the next three years would go to family law and family violence services to provide “targeted, trauma-informed legal assistance to thousands of women who may otherwise not have received the help they need”. The funding allocation will be finalised with the states and territories under the National Partnership Agreement. “The government has always recognised the essential role of the legal assistance sector in providing access to justice for the most vulnerable Australians,” Mr Brandis said.

MP backs Cruden Farm’s trustees Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

TRUSTEES behind a proposal to subdivide and sell off part of Cruden Farm have been given qualified support from Liberal MP Neale Burgess. Mr Burgess attended a 21 April community meeting held by the Friends of Langwarrin Outdoors and Waterways, opponents of any attempt to rezone and sell 15.8 hectares of land at Cruden Farm (“Fears Cruden Farm homes plan will ‘impact wildlife’”, The Times 24/4/17). “Those on the trust are good people,” Mr Burgess, whose electorate includes Cruden Farm, told The Times last week. “They are trying to fulfil their obligations under the trust to look after Cruden Farm. “No-one wants Cruden Farm to be subdivided, I certainly don’t. “However, the trustees are endeavouring to fulfil their obligations under the trust to provide for the trust as a whole, over the long term. “After discussions with the trustees, I believe they would consider other avenues of raising the funding they need. “I believe there is a great opportunity for the state government to get involved and secure this critically important and historical property on behalf of the community and in memory of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch.” A planning application has been submitted to Frankston Council proposing about a third of Cruden Farm — the home of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch until her death at the age of 103 in 2012 — be sold off so 116 homes can be built on the eastern and southern edges of the estate.

Any rezoning of the mainly Rural Conservation Zone land would ultimately need Labor state government approval and the moving of Melbourne’s urban growth boundary to include the 15.8 hectares. Cruden Farm was bought as a wedding present by newspapers baron Keith Murdoch, father of multi-billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch, in 1928. Keith and Elisabeth Murdoch Trust chairman Ian Evans has said profits from the land sell-off would keep Cruden Farm open to the public “in perpetuity”. Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission records show the Keith and Elisabeth Murdoch Trust trustees are Ian Evans, Anne Kantor, Judith Paterson and Elisabeth Calvert-Jones. Elisabeth Calvert-Jones, known as Janet Calvert-Jones, is the sister of News Corp Rupert Murdoch and the former chair of the Herald & Weekly Times — publisher of the Herald Sun newspaper. ​Her daugher, Penny Fowler, is the current chair of the Herald & Weekly Times.​ News Corp is publisher of Leader newspapers. Ms Kantor is Dame Elisabeth’s daughter and sister of Rupert Murdoch. Ms Paterson is a grand-daughter of Dame Elisabeth and niece of Rupert Murdoch. More than 4100 people have signed an online petition by the Friends of Langwarrin Outdoors and Waterways group calling on council and Labor state Planning Minister Richard Wynne to reject the planning proposal. The planning application was lodged with Frankston Council earlier this month and has not yet been formally discussed by councillors.

NEGOTIATIONS over a lease for the Frankston Basketball Stadium in Seaford remain deadlocked in the wake of a march by about 500 people demanding Frankston Council rethink a controversial rent proposal. Marchers demonstrated disquiet on Monday 10 April over council’s plan to raise annual rent paid by the Frankston & District Basketball Association from $30,000 to about $130,000 after a $12.7 million first stage upgrade of the stadium. It is understood that council and the association are now looking at annual lease payments of about $60,000 each year plus an additional $20,000 after stage one works to install four new courts taking the total number of basketball courts at the stadium to ten. Lawyers for both parties are involved in negotiations and Sport and Recreation Victoria, a state Department of Human Services department body, is a party to talks between council and the FDBA. A council push to review the operations and management of the stadium by March next year is a major sticking point amid FBDA fears council will try to “take over” operations of the building situated on council owned land. The stadium’s construction was originally funded by the association. The FDBA currently has nine years remaining on its existing lease with no review. An increasingly bitter war of words has seen Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial accuse the FBDA of “holding ratepayers to ransom” during negotiations by “refusing a future council the opportunity to conduct and objective review of the rent payable”. Association president Gary Emery says council has not negotiated in good faith and the not-for-

Your Hearing Questions Answered Is it important for patients to see an audiologist if they think they may be having difficulties hearing? 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. Is it true that a lot of patients don’t actually need hearing aids? Yes. Probably 25 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? 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. Are there ever very simple solutions to hearing loss? Yes. Sometimes a hearing loss can be caused by ear wax blocking the canal. If someone needs a hearing aid, should they always choose the most expensive, top-of-the-line model? 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 theline hearing aid technology, if the features that you need are available in something less expensive. 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? 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? Most people who are on a Centrelink pension (such as an age pension or a disability pension) are eligible for the Office of Hearing Services Voucher program. This enables them to choose from a range of hearing aids that are “free-to-client”. 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 voucher program, hearing aids typically start at $2,700 for a pair. What brand of hearing aids do you recommend? 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? 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? The patient comes first. The patient is your customer and you want to have the healthiest, happiest patient that you can. That makes me happy as well. To know that we are helping that patient to be happy is just rewarding. What is one thing about your job that really sticks out in a positive way? 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. Suddenly they don’t have to repeat everything, and they don’t get so tired from speaking loudly all day. It can make a big difference for the whole family.

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 into 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.

Do you have rules that you live by when treating patients? My number one rule is to take things at

Volunteering: Good for the Community...good for you! VOLUNTEERS are an invaluable resource to most community and notfor-profit organisations – most would probably grind to a halt without the helping hands of volunteers! But did you know that being a volunteer not only helps the community but that it can also have many benefits for the person who volunteers? • Volunteering has consistently been shown to help people: • Feel a greater sense of connection to others and their community • Gain new experiences and skill • Enjoy a sense of fulfilment and achievement • Experience better physical and mental health At St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital, a group of long standing and dedicated volunteers help provide a smiling face, an understanding presence and a helping hand for our clinical caregivers in their work with patients. From the 8-14th May we celebrate National Volunteer Week across Australia. National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to recognise the contribution that volunteers make to the life of our community! During National Volunteer Week we would like to thank all our volunteers at St John of God

Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital for the extraordinary commitment and dedication they show to our patients and the wider hospital community. Have you ever considered being a volunteer? If you have some spare time each week and would like to become involved in providing assistance to patients and their families, then we are always looking for volunteers to join us. There are a variety of roles in which volunteers can assist around our hospital, including meet and greet to new patients, walking with patients to visit the kiosk/patient lounges, providing practical assistance to our clinical staff when they are facilitating specialist rehabilitation programs (such as room set up, serving refreshments etc.), visiting new patients to let them know about services available the hospital, and helping out with special services held throughout the year to mark special occasions such as Anzac Day, Christmas and Easter. What do volunteers need? • An open mind and heart to walk alongside people who are recovering from surgery, an accident, or learning to live with a life-long condition such as Parkinson’s. • Compassion to understand the challenges faced by those in hospital for long periods of time.

St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital Volunteers gather for their annual National Volunteer Week lunch.

• A sense of hospitality to make patients and their families feel at ease in your presence. • Willingness to undertake a hospital orientation program and role specific training. Volunteer roles exist in a variety of settings however almost all will involve some degree of patient contact and communication. If you think you have some skills

or experience to bring to a volunteer role with St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital, then contact Teresa Rhynehart (Director of Mission) on 9788 3254 or email: teresa. rhynehart@sjog.org.au to discuss further and receive an application form. Please note that all volunteers are required to undergo an application process which includes a Police Check and Working with Children Check.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Push to reopen the school in the old Tyabb township Compiled by Cameron McCullough A DEPUTATION from Tyabb waited on Mr H. S. W. Lawson, Minister for Education on Tuesday for the purpose of requesting that the school in the old township be re-opened which had been closed recently. It was suggested that in order to reduce expense women teachers should be placed in charge of this school and the school near Tyabb railway station. Mr. Lawson promised to inquire into the matter. It was mentioned that the cost of the two schools at Tyabb had been £440, and that the present outlay on the school, near the railway station, which is in charge of a man teacher, is £285. *** THE net result of concert held on Easter Saturday in aid of Frankston Branch of the Red Cross Society, arranged by Presbyterian Young Mens’ Bible Union. amounted to £17 15s 6d. *** THE Secretary of the Frankston Athletic Club has handed £14 to the Frankston District Roll of Honor Fund, this being the net result of New Year’s Day Sports. The total of the Honor Fund now reaches £90. *** A PATRIOTIC meeting was held at the Seaford Hall on Saturday evening last in support of the Win-The-War candidate of the electorate. Mr Fox addressed the meeting with his well known humour and eloquence. *** THE Frankston Juniors were again hopelessly overmatched in their game

of football with the Mornington lads last Saturday on the Frankston oval, the game finishing with the scores at 7.15 to 1.2. A game will be played this afternoon between teams chosen from Frankston and Langwarrin Camp, on the ground of the latter. *** SUNDAY next will be observed as Foreign Missions Day in the Frankston Methodist Circuit. Rev E Tonkin will conduct services bearing on the subject at Frankston 11 a.m, Langwarrin 3 p.m and Somerville 7 p.m. Mr H. G. Overton, Circuit Secretary and Treasurer for Foreign Missions, will officiate at Frankston in the evening. *** THE net profits of the Colonial Bank of Australasia Ltd. for the six months ended 31st March 1917 amounted to £27,024 2s 9d. This is after providing for a 10 per cent bonus paid to the Staff on the amount of their salaries for the half year. The Balance Sheet which has just been published shows what a strong position the Bank is in. The balance sheet as usual shows great strength in Coin Bullion, Debentures, and other liquid assets which amount to no less than £2,013,941. This is more than would be required to meet the total of the non interest bearing deposits and is equivalent to 44.8 per cent of the total liabilities of the Bank. It is proposed to pay a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum on

both Preference and Ordinary Shares and place £10,000 to the Reserve Fund making £20,000, for the year and raising it to £280,000. The solidarity of this institution should be most gratifying to its shareholders, as well as to all depositors. *** AMONGST the troops who left for the front by the “Ballarat” on 19th Feb last, and which was torpedoed in the English Channel on Anzac Day, was the 2nd section of the Australian Railway Unit. Some of them being well known in this district, especially Sergeant McFaul, engine driver, was well and favorably known during his lieutenancy as Q.M. at the Military Camp, Langwarrin. The flag and banner “Australia will be there” which was presented to him by a few friends in Frankston prior to his departure, was displayed on the railway pier, Port Melbourne by Sgt. McFaul, and was taken on the ill fated Ballarat. Also Cpl Percy Prater, engine driver, the once brilliant Frankston football player. Pte Fred McFee of Ryall Phillip Island, (an anzac) electrician, and Pte W. G. Connal, fireman. This was Connal and McFee’s third trip together. The first being with the 5th Victorian Mounted Rifles to South Africa in 1901; the second with 4th Light Horse Reg. A.I.F. in October 1914, both were invalided home and after their discharge volunteered several times but were rejected as medically unfit for active service. When the Railway Unit was called for, they at once made application and

were accepted. As all lives are saved, they will truly still be comrades in arms we hope. *** Is marriage a failure, or no? To answer is nobody’s place; Only time and experience will show, To each individual case. What’s worse than a very bad cold ? Nothing, we feel pretty sure– The best thing to take we are told Is Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. *** Our Letter Box. FORESHORE PRIVILEGES. To THE EDITOR. Sir,–It is to be hoped that the Shire Council will not adopt the recommendation of its Inspector to encourage the erection of motor garages on the foreshore. The proposal is an outrageous one, and the reasons given for its adoption are inadequate. The Inspector says that “unless Mr G. E. Thomas is allowed to house his motor car on the foreshore, Frankston, will probably lose this citizen as a resident”. Even if this assumption is correct (which it probably is not) then by all means let Mr G. E. Thomas go as his presence in Frankston at weekends and on odd occasions would not, I think, compensate the permanent residents for the dangerous precedent of allowing him to have a motor garage on ths foreshore. If the privilege be allowed to him, it must of course, be allowed to others and soon the beauty of the foreshore would be a thing of the past, with the probable result that Frankston popu-

larity would speedily wane. Apropos of his motor garage which the Inspector says is a boat shed, I should like to point out that the only means of ingress on the seaward side is a small door 2ft wide, which no boat could pass, and that the floor level is 3 feet above the sand level. Of course it is a motor garage and always has been. With regard to the extensive structure under Oliver’s Hill the Inspector says it has the appearance of two very good boat houses built together. Well, appearances are deceptive! It consists of a long low shed and two rooms well lighted and finished. A nice little tank is erected at the back projecting into one of the rooms with (I believe) inside tap attached. One room has seats with table (movable) in the centre and on two occasions I have seen a jolly party of ladies and gentlemen having cakes and tea (all hot) in the room referred to. The billy is boiled just outside, while the faithful motor car waits on the Morninging Road. Anyone can see it and there is no attempt at concealment. This is all very cosy and pleasant but is the structure not something more than a boat-house and bathing box? I hope and believe that the matter may safely be left in the hands of our Councillors. Yours etc.– L. R. N. UTBER. 3/5/17. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 5 May 1917

BOB EVANS GETS UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL When Bob Evans takes the stage at Baha Rye on 1 June, the audience can expect a show that is personal and intimate. One gets the feeling chatting to Kevin Mitchell, whose Bob Evans persona has won him critical acclaim, that he’d be just as happy if the crowd were up on the stage with him. Possibly kicking back on couches. “It will be relaxed and interactive. I’m playing a really broad selection of songs going right back to the first record in 2003, right up to last year’s release. “We’ll play some music. I’ll take some requests. I’ll probably stuff a few songs up, but by the end we’ll be best of friends”. When he takes the stage in Rye, Mitchell will be freshly back from two shows of the tour in Japan, as well as a host of other shows around the country. “I’ve never been to Japan before. Never even transited through the airport, so it will be a great experience. It worked out perfectly. They wanted me over there just when there was a gap in the schedule, so off to Japan we go!” After the release of his critically acclaimed LP Car Boot Sale, and following a packed out co-headline tour alongside Josh Pyke in late 2016, the Lonesome Highways Tour will arrive on the Mornington Peninsula on 1 June. Gracing the Australian music scene

PAGE 14

for more than two decades, Mitchell is a self-confessed romantic who has written some of the country’s most beloved songs. Under the alias of Bob Evans, Mitchell has released five albums, all of which showcase the versatility and skill of this talented songsmith. Gentle, acoustic melodies prevail, enveloping the classic folk storytelling and strong emotional pull that charactises Mitchell’s substantial body of work.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 3 May 2017

Reflecting on his remarkable career, the ever-humble Mitchell says, “I never could have forseen where all of this was going to lead way back when I was a teenager just starting out, making an almighty racket with Jebediah. “I have been gifted a pretty amazing life and career and I still get such a huge buzz out of it. “Knowing there are people out there who have been supporting me for years and years just blows me away

and makes me want to be better.” To give fans a taste of what’s coming, Mitchell has released a live acoustic video of My Matilda, a track from this exclusive package of unreleased material. “The Golden Age of Showbiz” and “My Matilda” are both songs that just missed out on being recorded for ‘Goodnight, Bull Creek!’ back in 2008 and ‘Car Boot Sale’ just last year. “I just like ‘em and wanted to give them their moment.” Speaking on the complimentary six track EP for online ticket buyers, Mitchell says, “I have so many songs that have almost made it on to records in the past but have just missed out for one reason or another and I’ve always wanted to share them with people and I thought this would just be a good way to say thank you to the people who support me.” Mitchell has enjoyed nearly a quarter of a century of success in the music industry, initially as the frontman of Jebediah, who burst onto the music scene in the mid nineties, right through to Bob Evans today. But how has the changing face of music changed the way he and his fellow band members have worked? “Sure, the industry has changed. A lot of people say that now live shows are so much more important due to digital music. You can’t rely on album sales anymore. “But for us, it was always about live

music. We never recorded an album and then sat at home watching the royalty cheques roll in. “We toured. And we toured hard. We toured continuously and that set up our foundation for what we do today. Jebediah are still touring, and Mitchell splits his time between Bob Evans and Jebediah duties, all while being a dad to two young kids. “It works well. I won’t say it is the easiest, or the most efficient way, but I’ll do some touring, then head home for a bit, and then do some more.” While at home, it is a simple studio in his garage where he collects his thoughts, writes songs, and does his demos. All important work, but not the same as getting in front of a crowd. “Touring is the thing. It is enjoyable and rewarding. I just love to get in front of a group of people and share some time with them.” “I’ve honestly been doing it for such a long time now that I wouldn’t know what else to do with myself. “A lot of the time, I feel more comfortable and more myself when I’m onstage than off of it and the feeling of satisfaction I get from playing a good show is unbeatable.” Tickets to the Lonesome Highways Tour are on sale now. All tickets purchased through www.bobevans. com.au and other online outlets will receive an exclusive six track EP of unreleased material.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Clear and Presidential Danger By Stuart McCullough WELL that didn’t take very long. Just eight short weeks after being thrown the keys to the White House and the new President is already at serious risk of losing his deposit. That’s barely enough time to get the utilities changed over and start an account at the local Video Ezy. And yet in the space of a couple of months, here we are; sniffing distance from the Apocalypse and with no clear idea as to how things might end up. The Cuban missile crisis was a little before my time, so I’m not sure what it’s like to be quite this close to the precipice. But I’ve seen Mad Men and I gather it was touch and go there for a little while. I do remember the Cold War as it gradually began to defrost during the eighties. Before that, we’d be reminded once a year or so in primary school that we all lived under the shadow of ‘mutually assured destruction’. Inevitably, when talk turned to the end of civilization as we knew it, I’d wonder whether finishing my maths homework was really worth the bother. Then class would end and we’d all run outside and throw acorns at each other. It wasn’t just in the classroom that we were reminded of the precarious state of our existence. Movies, too, went out of their way to tell us we were living on borrowed time. Films like ‘War Games’ taught us that, not only did Ferris Bueller have a dark side, a floppy disk and a dodgy modem was all you needed to make a computer named after a hamburger think it should start warming up the missile

silos. If that wasn’t enough to make you give up sleeping and start digging a bunker between the Hills Hoist and the veggie patch, there was also, ‘The Day After’. The television movie ‘The Day After’ scared the absolute daylights out of anyone unfortunate enough to see it. Starring Steve Guttenberg, who would

go on to star in the even more terrifying ‘Police Academy’, the film depicts the consequences of an all-out nuclear war between the USA and Soviet Union after a dispute about a shipment of leg warmers escalates. We were forced to watch it at school. Everyone knew it wasn’t much of a film, but the importance of ‘the message’ meant that we

were expected to overlook its faults, which were many and varied. The movie ends with Professor Joe Huxley – played by the wonderful John Lithgow – talking into a makeshift radio and asking, ‘Is there anybody there?’ At least John Lithgow survived. ‘Third Rock From the Sun’ wouldn’t have been the same if he hadn’t. When the lights came up, many of my classmates seemed shell-shocked. But we soon got over it. So despite being burdened with the knowledge that the world as we knew it might end at any time and that Steve Guttenberg might be one of the first casualties, we still managed to ride our bikes, kick the football around, fall in the creek and do all the other things you do when you’re growing up. At some point things began to change. The shroud of perpetual enmity slowly started to lift. Mostly, this seemed to be because Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev hit it off on a personal level, each hosting the other on alternate Sunday afternoons for barbecues and to watch episodes of ‘Who’s the Boss’ that Nancy had taped on the presidential Betamax. Pretty soon, the very idea of the world’s two preeminent super-powers bombing each other into oblivion seemed faintly ridiculous. Steven Guttenberg was safe for the time being. It made life seem slightly lighter somehow. Things only improved further when David Hasselhoff demolished the Berlin Wall with nothing but his bare hands. Communist troops spontaneously threw down their weapons as Hoff’s sonorous tones delivered his

masterful interpretation of Ted Mulry’s ‘Jump In My Car’. The love affair was later sealed with a Billy Joel concert in Moscow in which he successfully stripped the irony out of ‘Back in the U.S.S.R.’ without being sent to a gulag. Humanity was saved. By the time I graduated high school, the risk of an apocalypse had substantially receded. It’s interesting to wonder what the eighties might have been like without the likes of Mikhail and Ronald. One thing’s for certain; Kim Jong-un is no Mikhail Gorbachev. For starters, he has that weird proclivity for exterminating members of his immediate family that, if nothing else, must make Christmas kind of awkward. Plus, he’s oddly committed to a savage centre part that, had he attended Tyabb Primary School in the seventies, would undoubtedly have earned him the nickname ‘Bum-head’ and resulted in an horrific wedgie. Perhaps that’s why he’s got both a chip on his shoulder and a tonsorial backside on his head. And Donald Trump – the closest thing we’ve ever seen to a human Magic 8-Ball – is certainly no Ronald Reagan. I’ll admit the whole thing’s making me feel uneasy. I haven’t asked, but I’ll bet Steve Guttenberg feels the same way. I never thought I’d say it, but perhaps ‘The Day After’ could have a sequel. Granted, ‘The Day After 2’ is the obvious choice, but I’d prefer ‘The Day After the Day After’. With President Strangelove in the White House, maybe I’ll need that bunker after all. Interesting times. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Sharks’ injured stars in doubt PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt MPNFL stars Tim Bongetti and Aaron Edwards will be racing against the clock to be right for the MPNFL Sharks’ country championships match against Geelong FL at the MCG on 13 May. Bongetti limped into the Pines’ top of the table clash against Frankston YCW on Saturday and left the field midway through the third term. His left thigh was heavily strapped after he copped another hit on it early in the first quarter. Aaron Edwards camped himself at full forward and hardly moved from there, despite willing himself to the contest on a few occasions. Suffering a back injury, one wondered why Edwards would have even bothered playing in the round four clash. Arguably the best player the competition has seen in the past 10 years, Edwards must now be in doubt to represent the Sharks in a fortnight. One wonders whether a fit Bongetti and Edwards would have made a difference to the 9.15 (69) to 6.6 (42) result. Considering the domination of Christian Ongarello (Edwards’opponent) and BJ Credlin (Bongetti’s opponent), you could argue that they would have made a big difference. In an ugly, uninspiring and uneventful game, there was only 10 points separating the sides at the final change.

Despite that, Frankston YCW always appeared to have another gear or two, which they displayed in the final quarter, booting four goals to one. While Tony Lester celebrated his 250th game, Kyle Hutchison his 150th and Kevin Lylak his 100th, the win was more about the next generation of players for the Stonecats. Luke Paynter is a true star and looks very much at home in the seniors – he’s the next BJ Credlin. Matt LaFontaine was the best player on the ground. The Collingwood VFL-

listed player controlled the game and despite the Pines’ heat early, not once did he not put his head over the footy. In fact, not one YCW player backed away. The likes of Joey Lane, Paul Theobald, Mark Berenger, Rohan Forrest and co would have been proud. Maklin Raine is getting better with every match, Angus Wright looks comfortable at the level and Lachlan Street was superb. You can throw Tom Capp and Jake Lovett in the mix too. The Stonecats have class everywhere.

From last year’s premiership forward half, the Stonecats were missing Lew Roberts, Dave Bodley, Anthony Bruhn and Sam Widdowson – there’s 130 goals right there. Only Roberts won’t return. On Saturday, Riley Hodson, Anthony Barry and Michael Debenham were also missing. The Stonecats just keep breeding the next generation. Pines just isn’t in the same class. Lachy Marshall and Nick Boswell have been great additions, and they both played well, however, the depth of Pines’ class is way off where It needs to be to challenge the best. Paul Scanlon was easily the Pines’ best player and was one of the best three on the ground. Mt Eliza and Mornington played last Tuesday (ANZAC Day) in a tough contest and were burned by the four day turn around in their respective matches on Saturday. Now maybe Edithvale may have still beaten the Dogs and Chelsea may have caused an upset against Mt Eliza, however, we all know that the four-day break played a significant role. AFLSE made a huge mistake with the fixturing and both the Dogs and Redlegs would be fuming behind closed doors. Take nothing away from the Eagles and Gulls though. Edithvale turned around a 20-point deficit at three quarter time to boot

seven goals to zip in the last. The Dogs were dead on their feet, losing 14.13 (97) to 17.12 (114). Will Flavelle and Charlie Martello booted four each and Chris Wylie starred. Paul McGettigan and Dale Whelan booted five each for the Dogs. Chelsea trailed Mt Eliza all day too but booted three goals to one in the last quarter to win 10.10 (70) to 9.10 (64). Jack Francis was sensational for the Gulls, booting four goals, Curtis Bywater played his best game in four years and Aaron Pawel played his best game for the Gulls. The Redlegs had a number of changes from Tuesday’s team but Shaun Knott played his first game and impressed with three goals. Seaford continues to impress, smashing Karingal 17.21 (123) to 9.10 (64). Matt McCormack was sensational for the Tigers with seven goals while Dean Williamson and Aaron Walton were superb. Michael Burke in game 301 and Damien Ashcroft in game four were the best of the Bulls. In the final game, Bonbeach led Langwarrin at half time by just a point but booted seven goals to three in the second half to win 12.11 (83) to 8.8 (56). Trent Dennis-Lane booted three goals and Jackson Casey dominated again for the Sharks.

Blues take the Tiger by the tail NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt IT may have taken five matches of football to get there but reigning Nepean champions Hastings slipped into top gear on Saturday against Dromana. The Blues found the spark it has been looking for and booted seven goals to one in a blistering first term and by half time had opened up a 68 point lead. The final score was 22.22 (154) to 8.5 (53). Hastings’ form before this match had been ordinary, despite the fact that it won three of its first four matches. Its match against Frankston Bombers last week proved to the defending premiers that it had some work to do to recapture its form of late 2016. Premiership coach Brendan Dunne told the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that his team had a few hiccups early in the season. “We had a faultless pre-season but into the practice matches and early in the season, we got a few injuries and niggles to some key players,” Dunne said. “We have been just off it a little but I was really happy that we were able to get some wins despite being below our best. “Hastings teams of the past wouldn’t have won those early games so I’m really happy with the resolve of the group,” Dunne said. Dunne said that his players were not complacent and were “just as hungry” for more success. “Like I said, the boys came back in great shape and we had a really great pre-season – it’s just those hiccups that affected us early,” Dunne said. There were no signs of early-season bad form on Saturday with Ricky Fer-

It wasn’t a great day for the Tigers. Cameron Carmody ripped a calf which robbed it of a tall and left Adam Hunter to spend time in the ruck. On the eve of the match, there was more good news for the Blues. Former

Somerville coach David Hirst trained with the Blues on Thursday night and is set to make his return. Frankston Bombers held on to win a thriller against Red Hill. Both teams came into the game with good form and in a tight contest, it was going to come down to a little bit of luck on who won the match. In the dying minutes of the game, Red Hill failed to get a 50m penalty after Allan Williams was reported by two umpires. The result was a missed opportunity, Frankston taking it to the other end of the ground and converting to make the difference nine points. The Bombers booted two goals to two behinds in the last to win 8.5 (53) to 6.9 (45). Once again, Red Hill dominated early in the match but just couldn’t convert its opportunities. Frankston, without stars Beau Muston and Alex Harnett (both leg injuries), made the most of its opportunities. Collingwood premiership player Chris Dawes made his debut for Sorrento on Saturday and was one of four players to boot three goals in the teams big 22.22 (154) to 2.6 (18) win against Crib Point. It was the first sign of the Player Points System ‘issue’ that Sorrento has with Justin McCleary dropped to the seconds to make way for Dawes. Some would say it’s a great ‘issue’ to have. Nick Corp booted three and was one of the team’s best yet again while Daniel Grant and Luke Tapscott dominated. There is no love lost between Sorrento and Crib Point and the Sharks would have loved nothing more than to bury the Pies on their own turf.

Brad Arnold and youngster Riley Bowman were the best of the Pies. It was a big day for Rye, winning its first match of the season against Pearcedale. It has been a tough start to the year for the Demons and it didn’t get much worse than last week against Sorrento, however, it put that behind them and led for much of the day to beat the Dales. Tim Churchin booted four goals and Oscar Whitty and Matt Whelan three each while Ben Winters-Kerr kicked a couple in his 200th game. Winters-Kerr will play his 200th senior match in three weeks time. Harry Prior was once again the best of the Dales while Danny Marshall finished with four goals. Devon Meadows made it two wins on the trot on Saturday, beating Tyabb by almost 12 goals, 21.9 (135) to 10.4 (64). Allan Murray continued his superb start to the season with nine goals while Jesse Bowe and Kyle Salerno with five goals starred. Jordan Alves with three goals was the best of the Yabbies. In the final game of the round, Rosebud bounced back from its shock defeat last week, smashing Somerville by 48 points, 14.17 (101) to 8.5 (53). The Buds jumped out of the blocks and iced the game in the first quarter, booting eight goals to one. Keegan Downie was back to his best with seven goals while Jack Jarman was his side’s best player for the second week in a row. Kane McKenzie and Luke Burton were the best of the Eagles.

NPL striker joins Langwarrin as Kenny returns SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN has thrown down the gauntlet to other title contenders by signing Scottish striker Liam Baxter from NPL outfit Goulburn Valley Suns. And the State 1 South-East leader will strengthen further with the return of gun central defender Kieron Kenny who went back to England in March following a family bereavement. Kenny is due to arrive in Melbourne tomorrow (Tuesday). Baxter, 24, was on the books of Scottish Premier League outfit Inverness Caledonian Thistle until he was 17 when he decided to leave to get more first team football. He played in the Highland League with Brora Rangers, Buckie Thistle and Forres Mechanics before arriving in Melbourne in January. He had a topsy turvy spell with the Suns, scoring in his first game, being sent off in his second match and being involved in a serious car crash in Shepparton in February and suffering leg and pelvic bruising and lacerations which sidelined him for a few weeks. Langy team manager Robert Mathieson senior drove to Shepparton last Thursday and took Baxter to his new home, a sponsor’s property in Langwarrin where his housemates are teammates Aaran Currie and Alex Metcalfe. Kenny is held in high regard by Langy’s coaching staff and the former Macclesfield Town youth team captain has played in the Swedish Second Division with Gaellivare Malmberget. Langy signed him from English club Congleton Town in the Hallmark Security League where he formed a formidable central defensive partnership with recent Langy import George Whiteoak. When Langy’s veteran goal machine Caleb Nicholes returns from his Kokoda Trail trek next week he’ll be part of the strongest first team squad assembled at Lawton Park for years. “It’s the sort of selection headache you like to have,” said long-serving Langy gaffer Gus Macleod. Langy picked up what could prove to be a valuable away point on Saturday when it drew 0-0 with Warragul and remains the only unbeaten team in the league. Mornington was in control for most of Saturday night’s 2-1 away win against bottom side Mooroolbark. Mornington central defender Simon Webster opened the scoring in the 24th minute when the Barkers failed to deal with a corner presenting Webster with

a tap-in. The visitors went further ahead in the 59th minute courtesy of a back post header from livewire forward Wayne Gordon and Barkers striker Sam Klepac replied late in the game. Mornington has lost two strikers from its senior squad in the space of a week as Michael Freeman has joined Gino Defeo in search of more game time. Defeo is playing assistant coach to Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor at Westgate while Doveton and Knox are believed to be vying for Freeman’s signature. Mornington boss Adam Jamieson remains in the hunt for new players. Peninsula Strikers broke through for its first league win of the season on Saturday, a 2-0 derby triumph against Seaford United at North Seaford Reserve. A superb Chris McKenna ball sent Aziz Bayeh through in the 15th minute but he shot straight at Seaford keeper Harrison Burgess. Two minutes later a Danny Brooks free kick on the left was headed wide by Trevor Johnston. In the 21st minute Seaford midfielder Paul McGuire sent Alex Roberts clear on the left and he played the ball across the face of goal but Troy Williams slid down and cleared. The deadlock was broken in the 24th minute when Seaford failed to

deal with Johnston’s long throw and Brooks hammered home the loose ball from close range. Tom Natoli crossed from the right in the 36th minute and Roberts’ spectacular overhead kick sailed just wide. A minute later the home team was staring down the barrel when a defensive blunder enabled Bayeh to skip clear on the right and his cutback was met by Alex Hopson who took a touch before striking a low shot that eluded Burgess to make it 2-0. A weak shot by Mitch Lander in the 41st minute was the first time Seaford was on target but a minute later Lander forced Strikers’ custodian Colin McCormack into a fine low save. Lander was thwarted by McCormack again in the second half as was Seaford teammate Tom Natoli while Roberts blew a gilt-edged chance by blasting high and wide from close range. Strikers’ head coach Craig Lewis and assistant Billy Buchanan were sent off in the second half while Seaford remains anchored to the foot of the ladder with just one point. Frankston Pines went down 3-0 away to Doveton on Saturday thanks to goals from Senahid Tokalic, Shane Tagliaferro and Nasir Mohammad. Mauritian international Christopher L’Enclume remains sidelined as the wrangle over his international clear-

ance continues. Skye United maintained its perfect league record in State 3 South-East with a 3-1 away win over Riversdale last weekend. Skye striker Nick Theodore opening the scoring within the first five minutes when he got on the end of a cross from English import Jacob Scotte-Hatherly. This was followed up by a quickfire double from winger Jason Nowakowski. In the 16th minute he ghosted in at the front post to head home from a Mark O’Connor cross, and then the two linked up again to make it 3-0 after just 20 minutes. Riversdale’s Jon Foley-Donoghue pulled one back in the 48th minute after waltzing through the midfield and picking out the top left-hand corner to the despair of Skye goalkeeper Jonathon Crook. Chances went begging for O’Connor and Wumjock Jock, however the damage was done and Skye held its nerve. Skye can maintain its promotion momentum when it takes on Sandringham on Wednesday (5 May) at Skye Recreation Reserve in a revised round one fixture with the reserves kicking off at 6.30pm and the seniors at 8.30pm. Three days later Skye again is at home when it hosts South Yarra in the annual John Ramsden commemorative match. Baxter beat Keysborough 3-2 at Coomoora Reserve last weekend in a bruising State 4 South encounter. Liam Kilner opened Baxter’s account in the 10th minute from close range and Ben Meiklum’s perseverance down the left in the 19th minute paid off when he squared the ball for Kilner to get his second by hammering the ball home from the edge of the area. A clumsy Markus Oliphant challenge inside the area gave Keysborough a penalty in the 61st minute and Deni Tintor converted. Mark Pagliarulo gave Baxter breathing space in the 65th minute when he finished from a tight angle after an excellent solo run. Keysborough substitute Bruno Silva made it 3-2 in the 80th minute and the match ended on a sour note after a horror tackle on Baxter teenager Travis Ernsdoerfer who had to be carried off. The striking partnership between Dave Greening and Michael Turner proved too much for Dandenong South on Saturday as Rosebud Heart powered to a 5-2 win at Fotheringham Reserve. Turner’s off-the-ball run in the 8th minute dragged a defender wide and

Blake Hicks put Greening through and he slotted it past Dandy South keeper Semir Zekirija. The home side hit back through Ali Demiri in the 17th minute but three minutes later a Turner free kick nestled in the bottom corner to make it 2-1. In the 33rd minute Zekirija failed to get to a ball to the back post and Greening’s volley made it 3-1. A free kick from the left was headed home by Lindurim Tairi in the 56th minute to make it 3-2 but Heart’s twogoal cushion was restored in the 65th minute when Greening squared for a Turner tap-in. Heart keeper Sean Skelly saved from the penalty spot with 10 minutes to go and in the 89th minute Turner sent Greening through only to be brought down inside the area. Greening completed his hat-trick from the resultant penalty. Heart midfielder Adam Poole will have surgery on Tuesday to repair a ruptured Achilles and Heart head coach Scott Morrison flies to Thailand next Saturday night to attend his sister’s wedding and will miss the club’s round 7 away clash with Endeavour Hills Fire. Somerville Eagles gained a second point of the season with a 1-1 away draw with Pakenham United on Saturday despite having five senior players unavailable. The State 5 South contest was scheduled as a Somerville home game but the council failed to cover the cricket pitch in time so the match was switched to IYU Recreation Reserve. Pakenham’s Keegan Bloomfield was sent off for violent conduct in the 7th minute and Paul Walker put Somerville ahead in the 22nd minute after a Matty Roach cross which Pakenham keeper Allan Bateman failed to attack allowing Walker a simple tap-in. A fine finish by Pakenham’s Ciri Mernica in the 80th minute earned his side a share of the spoils and Somerville’s James McKenzie was given a straight red in the 90th minute. This weekend’s games: SATURDAY, 3pm: Langwarrin v St Kilda (Lawton Park), Mornington v South Springvale (Dallas Brooks Park), Frankston Pines v Peninsula Strikers (Monterey Reserve), Seaford Utd v Mazenod (North Seaford Reserve), Skye Utd v South Yarra (Skye Recreation Reserve), Baxter v Endeavour Hills Fire (Baxter Reserve), Rosebud Heart v Keysborough (Truemans Road Recreation Reserve), Dandenong Warriors v Somerville Eagles (Lois Twohig Reserve).
