‘Anti-social behaviour’ targeted on holidays Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au AN increased police presence has been seen in the Frankston CBD and at Bayside Shopping Centre during the school holidays to put a stop to “antisocial behaviour”. The Frankston Police operation kicked off on 11 July. The operation sees a visible police presence across the area to deter people from getting

into trouble. Acting Sergeant Julia Starkey said the operation begun in an effort to make people feel safer in their community. “This operation is in response to a general community response. They were feeling unsafe around the CBD in relation to anti-social behaviour. Young people had been behaving poorly around Bayside Shopping Centre food court and the railway station,” Acting Sergeant Starkey said.

“We’re going to have a high visibility saturated police presence over several days in coming weeks, involving uniform members and transit members.” Acting Sergeant Starkey said it was decided that the increased police presence was needed after discussions with “local retailers in the area, council, and the security at Bayside.” “We want to let the people causing trouble know that members of the community deserve to feel safe to go

about their daily behaviours,” she said. The operation will run on four days. It ran on 11 June and 12 June. The move follows an increased push by Frankston Police to give the community a say about their concerns. They recently invited members of the public to join the Frankston First Community Network to discuss local crime issues. They held their launch event on 26 June. Frankston local area commander Inspector Paul Cripps said the network

aimed to “bring together community leaders from across Frankston.” “Through the Frankston First Community Network we aim to build on the strong relationships police have with our wonderfully diverse community,” Inspector Cripps said. “This is a great opportunity to interact with your local police, gain a greater understanding of other community groups and have an impact on issues which affect the Frankston community.”

Fox control program underway STRINGYBARK Bushland Reserve in Langwarrin will close until 21 July to allow for the undertaking of a fox control program. The reserve closed on 7 July so the program could be undertaken. Soft jaw traps will be used to trap the foxes. A statement on council’s Facebook read “this program aims to reduce and or remove foxes from the reserve to limit the negative impact that these introduced animals have on native fauna.” “The aim of the fox control program is to reduce the number of native wildlife killed by foxes in these reserves. Foxes are trapped by trained

Council officers using soft jaw traps. This information has been posted on our website during the past week, signage posted at the reserve and residents have already been notified by mail,” the Frankston Council comment read. They directed further enquiries to the Natural Reserves Team Leader on 1300 322 322.

Group to help relieve parking woes A WORKING group will be formed to provide advice on the implementation of Frankston Council’s car parking precinct action plan. Councillors voted this month to form the group, which will consist of representatives from the Committee for Greater Frankston, Frankston City traders, Chisholm, Monash University, Peninsula Health, Bayside Shopping Centre, Frankston City Council and PARC. The group is designed to provide “independent advice”. As part of the motion, council voted to refer “the funding of $30,000 towards implementation of the year 1 actions of the FMAC parking precinct plan to the mid year budget review for further consideration. Subsequent

years funding is to be requested through the normal annual budget process.” Two other options were considered by council. One was to “form the working group and fund the study at an estimated cost of $50,000 $70,000+. There is no additional funding outlined in the 2019/20 budget for this purpose. The funding would need to be found from other sources, which could include federal/ state government grants.” The other option was to “not proceed with the proposed working group and instead, as an initial step seek to participate in the design and delivery of the state government’s election commitment for a dedicated increase in park-

Early training for seeing eye dogs VISION Australia’s seeing eye dogs are expected to have more than 40 puppies by the end of August which may one day become a partner to someone that is blind or has low vision. Once the pups are about 15 months old they will begin formal training at Kensington but, before that, their training begins all over Victoria. Puppy development trainer Claire Crewe says the Mornington Peninsula is a good place for the puppies to begin their training. “The peninsula is a great area to be a puppy carer because it offers an array of different environments to train and expose your puppy to. Parks, beaches, shops, the has it all,” Ms Crewe said puppy caring involved looking after a puppy for up to a year while it was aged two to 15 months. “In that time, you will begin the pup on its training journey by teaching it how to sit, how to walk nicely on a lead and how to toilet, among other things,” she said. Carers would be regularly visited by a puppy development trainer “who can answer any questions”. Food, equipment, veterinary bills and bedding is supplied by Seeing Eye Dogs. An information session about puppy caring will be held 10.30am Friday 19 July at Mornington Library in Vancouver Street.

Saved at The Pillars THREE men rescued from the cliff face at The Pillars, Mt Martha on Friday 5 July were members of a church group from the Bendigo area who told police they had been attracted to the popular cliff jumping spot by reports on social media. Two Strathdale men, 19 and 18 and a Lockwood man, 21 escaped injury after being pulled up the cliff face by CFA crews using ropes about 5pm. Mornington Fire Station Rescue Commander Rick Reid said the 10-member rope rescue crew from Dandenong attached ropes to trees at the top of the cliff and rappelled down to the men who were then winched back in harnesses. Police, including the Air Wing, and CFA units from Dromana, Mt Martha and Frankston were called to the Patterson River

scene by church group members. Leading Senior Constable Melissa Seach of police media said the men had been walking with their group along the Esplanade when they climbed down and got stuck about 3.30pm. A 400-metre long fence to deter cliff jumpers erected before last summer by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council was removed after Easter. The fence saw a large drop in numbers of people gathering on the cliffs, but it also saw police refusing to cross it in pursuit of anyone drinking alcohol in breach of the shire’s local laws. Councillors will decide whether the fence is reinstalled in time for next summer after receiving a report from council officers.

Legacy’s ongoing help for ‘defence’ families MORNINGTON Peninsula Legacy is a charity providing services to 1400 widows and families on the Mornington Peninsula, in Frankston and north to Chelsea after the injury or death of a spouse or parent, during or after serving in the defence force. Barry Smith, president of the Mornington Peninsula Legacy Club, said that since 1923 the organisation had been “protecting the wellbeing of veterans' families… Our compassionate and vital assistance changes lives, with care, friendship and support and we are honoured to serve our families”. He said Legacy stood by defence force families “to ensure a child gets an education and a fair go, a widow is not disadvantaged and alone, and a family is not torn apart by the effects of past and ongoing conflicts”. “Legacy is the only organisation of its type in the world and relies on its volunteers and donations to carry out its work,” Mr Smith said. He said the work of Mornington Peninsula Legacy was based “on the principles of providing services within a compassionate and respectful environment based on the needs of individuals and families”. “In addition to our beneficiary programs, Legacy also engages young people in the community through education to acknowledge and commemorate the sacrifices of our brave service men and women and their families,” Mr Smith said. Legacy’s holds an annual Anzac commemoration ceremony for students at Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance and its junior public speaking award encourages 12-14-year-old students to learn about Legacy’s values, “while developing their communication skills and confidence”.

Legacy volunteers will be selling badges and appealing for public donations during Legacy Week, 31 August – 7 September or go to www. legacy.com.au/donate. Call Mornington Peninsula Legacy on 9708 8201.

Ms Murphy defeated Liberal Chris Crewther who had held for one term. “This is a grassroots request that is community based and all members of our diverse society are invited,” Mr Morrison said.

Moving Earth PROFESSOR Peter Betts will speak about Earth moving “in mysterious ways” 2pm-3.30pm Saturday 3 August at the Australian Garden Auditorium, Cranbourne Gardens, corner Ballarto Road and Botanic Drive Cranbourne.

EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS IN THE ARCTIC Helloworld Travel’s Arctic Experience, Northern Lights and Christmas Markets River Cruise is full of European bucket list adventures that makes this a trip of a lifetime. Due to overwhelming popularity, Robyn Woodruff owner and manager of Helloworld Travel and Cruise Mornington together with Kim Taylor owner and manager Helloworld Travel Rosebud Ninth have decided to run their escorted group to Finland and the Christmas markets again this year. The trip begins with a pick up from your home and you will be fully escorted to the airport. We will then commence with nine wonderful nights in Finland with seven of those seeking a display of the spectacular Northern Lights. Our first night is in Helsinki enjoying a welcome dinner at one of the city’s finest restaurants in Christmas Street. We then travel north on the Santa Express train to Kemi, where we spend a night in the beautiful glass villas overlooking the frozen Bothnia Bay. This will be your first opportunity to witness the remarkable Aurora Borealis, right from the comfort of your own bed. The next day, we travel to the home of Santa Claus. Our first night is spent at the Santa Claus Hotel, we then cross the Arctic Circle and spend two nights in a luxurious glass igloo

next door the Santa’s Village. These igloos come complete with an Aurora alarm and the glass is heated, keeping the snow from forming on the roof. During our stay in Rovaniemi we enjoy a Reindeer Safari to Santa’s Village, an exciting 10-kilometre Husky Safari through the wintery wilderness and a Northern Lights Safari by snow train. We then travel further north staying a night at Levi Panorama, then deeper again into the arctic with another two night stay in Glass Aurora cabins next to Lake Inari. With a view to the northern sky, the thermal roof ensures that the window will stay clear even in the lowest of temperatures, maximising our chances of seeing the spectacular Northern Lights. After nine nights in Finland, we fly to Amsterdam to embark on a luxury river cruise along the Rhine River with Avalon for another experience of a lifetime – visiting some of Europe’s magical Christmas markets. Warm up with a hot Gluwein (Mulled Wine), savour the local flavours of the many food stands, fill your bags with lots of goodies and soak up the atmosphere of the cherished traditions of these markets. We finish our tour with a night in Zurich, where you can finalise your shopping just in time to be home for Christmas.

Remind your small business clients

NEWS DESK Police patrol

with Brodie Cowburn

Seventeen charges for man and teen A 25-YEAR-old Chelsea Heights man and a 17-year-old Frankston teenager have been hit with a string of charges, including aggravated burglary, theft of firearms and theft of a motor vehicle. The two were hit with 17 charges each after being arrested at around 5am, 6 June. Police said they spotted the pair driving in an allegedly stolen car in Langwarrin at around 3.30am, 6 June. The offenders allegedly dumped the car in Church Street Richmond, and fled towards the Yarra River. With the assistance of the dog squad, police found the pair at around 5am. They allegedly found two bags containing firearms. Police allege that the firearms were stolen in an aggravated burglary in Donvale, overnight on 3 July. They allege the car was stolen in an aggravated burglary in Hawthorn East on 4 July. No injuries were recorded during any of the alleged incidents. The 25-year-old man faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court on 6 July.

Arrest after alleged taxi stabbing A MAN has been arrested in relation to an alleged stabbing in Carrum Downs, 21 June. It is alleged that a man was picked up by a taxi on Greens Road, South Dandenong at around 1.40pm. Emergency services were then

called to Balmain Drive at around 2pm, after the passenger allegedly demanded cash from the driver with a knife. The driver is alleged to have sustained multiple stab wounds to the arm. A 26-year-old Morwell man was arrested in Carrum Downs just before 4pm, 6 June. He is assisting police with their enquiries. The alleged victim, a 38-year-old man, was taken to hospital and has since been released.

Thou shalt not steal A SERIES of alleged burglaries from places of worship has resulted in two arrests. Frankston crime investigation unit detectives teamed with Southern Metro crime team and the Greater Dandenong CIU to implement Operation FLAGRANCY. The operation was in response to alleged commercial burglaries at places of worship between March and July. Police said there were 31 separate incidents, including aggravated burglary, burglary, criminal damage and theft. The alleged offences occurred in Springvale South, Springvale, Keysborough, Carrum Downs, Yuroke, Forest Hill, Burwood, Rockbank, Camberwell, Boronia, Mount Evelyn, Berwick, Myers Flat, Tarneit and Mitcham. A 28-year-old Deer Park man was charged and remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 12 August. An 18-year-old Sunshine man was charged and bailed to appear at Sunshine Magistrates’ Court on 2 October. Holy haul: Frankston CIU detectives made two arrests in relation to alleged burglaries at places of worship. Pic: Supplied

Horse doesn’t bolt THE attempted theft of a horse statue from Parkdale is being investigated by police. Police believe that offenders used a vehicle to try and steal the bronze horse from its Beach Road location at around 3.20am 29 June. The offenders knocked the statue over and damaged it, but did not steal it. Police believe that at least two offenders fled from the horse in a black four wheel drive ute. A 29-year-old Mordialloc man was arrested in relation to the alleged incident, and was released pending further enquiries. Witnesses are urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000

False start: Offenders have failed to steal a statue of a horse. Pic: Supplied

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Councillors’ dispute - Crs. Hoare and Oates shake hands Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE stage was arranged at Seaford last Saturday night for a wordy warfare between Councillors Oates and Hoare. The subject of dispute was the pipe culvert in Station Street, across the much-abused Kananook Creek. Hostilities opened some weeks ago, when. Cr. Hoare took Cr. Oates to task through the columns of the “Standard.” Cr. Oates’ reply was a challenge to Cr. Hoare to meet him on the public platform at Seaford to debate the matter. Cr. Oates duly appeared at Seaford on the date arranged, and in the absence of Cr. Hoare, who had not advised him of his inability to be present, at the request of the meeting addressed the ratepayers. A vote of confidence in Cr. Oates was carried. On that occasion Mr. Howell, who was elected chairman, informed the meeting that he had heard that Cr. Hoare was ill, but had received no direct or official intimation from Cr. Hoare himself. The next act was a notification from Cr. Hoare to Cr. Oates inviting the latter to attend at Seaford on Saturday evening last. Contrary to expectations, the attendance of the public was not large, although several new faces were noticed. Cr. Hoare was early in attendance, and he was supported by Messrs. Wilson (erstwhile secretary of the Seaford Progress Association) and Bailey. Cr. Oates arrived on his grey horse several minutes after 8 o’clock. He

was late. He had been to the football match at Balnarring that day, and as one of the passengers of the stranded char-a-banc until a passing motor car picked him up and a delivered him in Frankston, safe, but wet through and very cold. Here he obtained a few biscuits, by way of dinner, and, procuring his trusty steed, set off for Seaford. The chief contestants met in no friendly spirit. Too much had been written and spoken prior to the meeting to allow any show of cordiality. It is, therefore, all the more noteworthy to record that, before the meeting was concluded, they had shaken hands in token of friendship restored. This happy result was brought about by the resolution moved by Mr. Matarana, and seconded by Mr. Wiltshire, to the effect that Crs. Oates and Hoare and Mr. Wilson be asked to shake hands, and manfully put all differences behind them. This was carried unanimously, and on the chairman putting the position to the contestants, Crs Oates and Hoare stepped forward, and, amid much applause clasped hands. Mr. Wilson and Cr. Oates did likewise. Everyone seemed pleased, and the chairman particularly so. He urged those present to let the dead past bury its dead, and remarked, incidentally, that Kananook Creek was bad enough at any time, without any special stirring up. (Laughter.) *** AN open court will be held at the Council Chambers, Somerville on Friday, 25th inst at 10.30 am to revise the voters lists and separate voters lists for

the Shire of Frankston and Hastings. *** MR William Armstrong, who has sold his property at Seaford has instructed Messrs Brody and Mason to sell his household furnishings, stock, implements etc. The sale will take place on the premises on Thursday, 7th August commencing at 12 noon. Full particulars appear in advertisement. *** REV E. Tonkin left last Friday, on a three weeks Home Mission Deputation Tour in the Northern part of Victoria. Mr George Sargent, who is on the permanent deputation staff will exchange with him for that time. Mr Sargent conducted the service in the Frankston Methodist Church last Sunday evening. *** THE Wattle Club held a most successful euchre party at Frankston last Thursday night. Mrs Burton (Burton and Law) presented a decorated cake for the lady’s prize and was won by Miss Jones. The Gents prize was won by Mr Hartland. The club would be glad to receive gifts suitable for prizes. *** MR J. Peebles recently disposed of his Model Dairy business to his soldier son and another returned man (Mr Strong) – now trading as Peebles and Strong. This transaction did not embrace the well-known dairy and produce shop at the top of Bay Street, Frankston. This week the announcement appears in our advertising columns

that Mr A. N. Challender, also a late member A.I.F., has purchased this department of the business. Mr Challender in soliciting a share of the liberal patronage bestowed on his predecessor and intends maintaining the high reputation already enjoyed by the establishment. He undertakes to keep the best of goods and charge very reasonable rates. Messrs Peebles and Strong, above referred to, have in addition to the Model Dairy bought out Mr Taylor of the Frankston Dairy and will in future connect their business on the promises of the latter. *** MISS Mackay, postmistress, at Frankston, has been granted three months sick leave. Miss Mackay is suffering from nervous breakdown, attributed to overwork. Her many friends will wish her a speedy recovery. *** HIS many friends were pleased to see Private Hammond back in Frankston the other day, and the hope has been expressed that he will reestablish the tailoring business he carried on so successfully in the town prior to the outbreak of war. Private Hammond had charge of the Frankston Brass Band in the pre-war days and under his able conductorship players took a keen interest in their work and their performances were rapidly reaching a point of marked excellence. Mr Hammond is an enthusiastic bandsman and if he decided to again reside in the district it would not be long before the Frankston Brass

Band was once again an institution of prominence. *** PRIVATE Alf. C. Berry, returned recently after 4½ years of active service abroad. Like many men who have travelled far and seen much, he was very modest in relating his share of the great battle in which he was in charge of a Lewis machine gun. He made very light of the hardships he endured, such as having been unable to speak for months, and working the whole time. He entertains a very high opinion of the English people for their methods and their fine qualities. The Belgians were so grateful to his battalion for their release that many offered their beds to the soldiers. Private Barry was severely wounded at Gallipoli and gassed in France. While practically an invalid he was in charge of the Correspondence Bureau of the Southern Command, England and Orderly-room Sergeant until the armistice was signed. He was passed for training as a Commissioned officer at Queen’s college when the armistice was signed, so the lad who went out in his 18th year just missed the coveted honor of a Commission. Private Berry speaks in warm admiration of the soldierly qualities which distinguish General Brand, and mentioned as a fact the first care of that officer was the welfare of his troops adding he always endeavoured to have a dry bed for his soldiers. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 19 July 1919

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Bee Gee Paralysis Paradox By Stuart McCullough I WAS caught off guard. Or, at least, I hope I was; because little else could excuse my hopelessly inadequate response. In retrospect, the warning signs were all there – it was a party, there was a band and there was both a dance floor and a pretty significant expectation that guests would use it. The band even went so far as to play music of the danceable variety as opposed to – say – Nick Cave or Captain Beefheart covers. To borrow the words of the brothers Gibb; ‘You should be dancing, yeah (shang-anang!)’. I ought to have known better. Everything had been going so well up to that point. My wife and I had been invited to a party our neighbours were throwing and, in a twist, we’d actually turned up. There were drinks, nibbles and people. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that the evening had all the makings of a very successful event. At a certain point, some folks picked up musical instruments, began to play them and, amazingly, were playing the same song. I believe this type of synchronized approach to making music is often referred to as a ‘band’. They were very good. We weren’t the only ones enjoying their work. Other people were nodding, cheering and generally encouraging them; willing them to scale ever-greater musical heights. This, of course, is at complete odds with my own experience making music; where the world at large unites in begging me to stop. Perhaps this accounts for just how deeply surprised I was – it never occurred to me that such support was possible. My mouth was agape. This proved useful when, intermittently, I stuffed an olive or a pretzel in there but otherwise made me look more like the slack-jawed hillbilly I really am. I admit, my toes were tapping but, otherwise, I was completely immobile. It was as though someone had nailed my feet to the floor, not with a

PAGE 18

Frankston Times 16 July 2019

regular run of the mill hammer, but a tradesman quality hydraulic nail gun that can send titanium nails inches deep into granite. If it’d been MC Hammer, I would have been all right. I was also holding a drink, which I pretty much consider to be the ultimate insurance policy against having to do anything active. Clutching a beverage is the definitive excuse against having to do something that may pose a threat to your drink. A child asks you to play a game? Only once I’ve finished my cup of tea. A friend asks you to run a half-marathon? No thanks, I’m half way through a glass of orange juice and I really want to savour the experience. It’s surprising how useful it is to have a drink nearby at all times. There are, however, limits.

In a paper, rock, scissors universe, your spouse trumps pretty much everything. Especially a beverage. When my wife turned to me and asked if I wanted to dance, what I should have said was ‘but of course!’ Instead, I feebly pointed to my drink as though I was handcuffed to it, unable to rest it even for a moment, lest its safety should be compromised. It was completely ineffectual and I was in some serious trouble. Suddenly, my entire dancing life flashed before my eyes. Let me say that my people are not a dancing people. There was no dancing in our house as we grew up. Truth is, we struggle to clap in time. The only dancing that ever occurred was really for comedic effect. My father would do something that loosely resembled dancing when

listening to his all time favourite song – ‘Sink the Bismarck’. He’d lift his fists up and down as though pumping water from a sinking boat which, given the song, may well have been appropriate. Then there was my brother’s all-too brief career as a hip-hop dancer. After a few lessons at the Tyabb Town Hall with an instructor named ‘Maggot’ (which I deeply suspect was his real name), he briefly considered a career as a rap dancer. Ultimately, though, it’s tough going to do a backspin on gravel, even with a layer of high-quality cardboard on top. My own dancing career is far less storied than that of either my father or brother. Most of the time, I am painfully aware of my limitations as a dancer. They are, put simply, profound. However, under just the right circumstances, I can be persuaded to get, if not on the good foot, then on the not quite so good foot and shake my groove thing. Sadly, the right circumstance generally involves a skin-full of something other than lemon squash. I appreciate that this is less than ideal. I should have been prepared. In the instant I was asked, I ought to have put my drink to the side and followed her out to the dance floor, disco pistols at the ready. It makes me wonder what I’m afraid of. Embarrassment? If I perform the ‘Sink the Bismarck’ or attempt a backspin, maybe, but otherwise there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Inadequacy? I have no plans to turn professional, so not being good enough isn’t a problem. Then what? Next time I’ll do better. There’ll be no hesitation. No resistance. No turning back. I’ll move like Jagger, albeit the post-heart surgery version. On this occasion, however, I couldn’t quite bring myself to dance. I was only saved when the band announced that, for the rest of the evening, they’d be playing an assortment of Nick Cave and Captain Beefheart covers. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Pythons a game clear on top DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn DROMANA have picked up an impressive win over Sorrento in front of their home crowd on Saturday. Dromana have looked right at home in division one this season, but faced a tough test in Sorrento. Last year’s grand finalists came to Dromana Recreation Reserve looking to prove that they are a good chance of doing one better and winning the flag in 2019. Dromana at home has proved to be a tough test for all sides who visit this year, but Sorrento looked well and truly comfortable in the first quarter. A stunning six goals to zero start saw the Sharks race out to an early 41 point lead. Faced with a mountain of work, Dromana battled hard to claw their way back into the contest. They held Sorrento to just one behind in the second term, and closed the gap to two goals by the time the half time break rolled around. Sorrento had another tough time in the third quarter, and again failed to register a goal. Dromana cut the lead back to nine points going into the final term, and were able to ride their wave of momentum with a big last quarter. A five goals to one fourth quarter saw Dormana finally hit the lead, and put the Sharks away. Sorrento let a brilliant start slip, and will be disappointed to have not come away with the four points. The final score read Dromana 10.14 (74) to Sorrento 7.16 (58). Sam Fowler booted four goals for the Tigers. With Sorrento taking a loss, a win for

Pines would put them a game clear on top of the ladder. The Pythons played host to Bonbeach at Eric Bell Reserve on Saturday. Pines got off to a perfect start in front of their home crowd, starting brilliantly with a five goals to zero opening quarter. From there the Sharks struggled to bite back, and were playing catch up all afternoon. Bonbeach could do nothing to chip the lead back, and trailed by 49 points at three-quarter-time. They ended up losing to Pines 10.14 (74) to 5.8 (38). The Pythons had an even spread of goal kickers on the day, with eight players getting on the scoreboard. Guy Hendry was named as their best. At John Coburn Oval, Frankston YCW got the better of the Frankston Bombers in a scrappy affair. Both sides traded blows in an even first quarter, before the Stonecats ran away to a three goal lead by half time The Bombers clawed their way back in their third term, and trailed by just a point at three-quarter time. The Stonecats made the better of the difficult conditions in the last quarter though, and ran away with an 8.9 (57) to 6.5 (41) win. Ryley Hodson kicked two goals and was named among YCW’s best. The win helps the inconsistent Stonecats get their year back on track. They currently sit in fifth place, equal on points with Rosebud and a game behind Bonbeach in fourth. At Olympic Park, Rosebud struggled badly in tough conditions against Edithvale-Aspendale. They scored just one goal across the first three quarters of the match.

A better final quarter helped the Buds keep the scoreline respectable, but they could not do enough to make it close. The final score read Rosebud 3.5 (23) to Edithvale-Aspendale 6.5 (41). At Alexandra Park, Mornington’s hopes of avoiding relegation were

dealt a blow when they were defeated by Mt Eliza. The Redlegs started well and had the Bulldogs on the backfoot early. They led by 5 goals at the halftime break and were in control. Mornington scored just one goal in

the first half, and were much better in the second. Although the Bulldogs improved, they could not do enough to close the gap. Mt Eliza defeated Mornington 6.10 (46) to 9.13 (67). The Bulldogs remain rooted to the bottom of the ladder.

Hillmen held goalless by Bulls DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn THE top of the table clash between Red Hill and Karingal has ended triumphantly for the Bulls, as the Hillmen were held goalless in miserable conditions. Red Hill Recreation Reserve was pummelled by harsh conditions throughout the day, leaving players fighting through the mud all afternoon. The Bulls had their struggles too, and only managed two goals of their own in the first half. Karingal led by ten points at half time. Red Hill had only managed to register two behinds by the main break. After half time the scrappy contest continued, as Karingal extended their lead with another two goals. Red Hill were poor in the tough conditions, and when the final siren sounded they had failed to hit the scoreboard with a goal. The final score was Red Hill 0.3 (3) to Karingal 6.4 (40). On the road against Tyabb, Hastings worked hard and got a good victory. The Blues were boosted by the addition of Brendan Fevola, who kicked nine goals last weekend. The first half of the contest was tightly contested, with Hastings leading by less than a goal at each break of play, The margin blew out in the third quarter, and the Blues ran away with it. Despite good early efforts from the

Yabbies, they eventually succumbed to defeat to Hastings 5.9 (39) to 9.12 (66). Luke Hewitt booted three goals for the Blues in a best on ground performance. Fevola chipped in with one. Chelsea, playing at home, let a final quarter lead slip and were defeated by Langwarrin. The Seagulls started poorly and were restricted to just one goal in the first half. The Kangaroos were not much better, and put three goals on the board before the main break. Chelsea were the better side in the third quarter and took a narrow two point lead into the final break. In tough conditions at home, they could not hold on and were eventually overrun by Langwarrin. The final siren sounded with Langwarrin up by seven. The final score was Chelsea 4.3 (27) to 4.10 (34). At Belvedere Reserve, Seaford struggled at home against Somerville. Somerville were inaccurate in the wet and kicked 3.8 in the first half, but still held a two goal lead at halftime. Seaford couldn’t capitalise on Somerville’s misfortune in front of goal. The Tigers eventually lost 3.8 (26) to 5.16 (46). Kane McKenzie was named as Somerville’s best. At RJ Rowley Reserve, Rye scored an easy win over Crib Point. The Magpies struggled in the wet and were restricted to just one goal in the first half. Rye were impressive all day, and secured all four points with a 12.16 (88) to 5.6 (36) win. Despite the win they

still sit three games outside of a finals berth. At Glover Reserve, Pearcedale failed to get their second win of the year against Devon Meadows. Devon Meadows impressed from

the get go, and were easily in control with an eight goals to two first half. The final scoreboard read Devon Meadows 15.9 (99) to Pearcedale 6.7 (43). Joel Hillis was Devon Meadow’s best, booting seven goals.

Major milestone for ‘Green Machine’ SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie RECORD-breaking Somerville Eagles playercoach David Greening reached a remarkable landmark last weekend when he passed the 1000goal career milestone. His first goal in senior competition was for Isle of Wight club Brading Town as a 15-year-old in September 1996 and he’s been scoring for fun ever since. He arrived in Melbourne in February 2010 and has been the main man up front for Latrobe University, Seaford United, Casey Comets, Rosebud Heart and now Somerville and his scoring feats in senior Victorian ranks are legendary. He returned from suspension on Saturday and started on the bench in Somerville’s 4-1 home win over Pakenham United in their State 5 clash at Somerville Secondary College. It took a while for the Eagles to get going but after Carlo Cardoso, Eric Manhanong and Nathan Grimshaw forced Pakenham keeper Harry Webber into a string of fine saves, the deadlock was broken in the 43rd minute when the in-form Callum Richardson deflected Manhanong’s inswinging corner into goal. The Eagles flew out of the blocks in the second half and doubled their lead in the 47th minute when fine play from Grimshaw and Joel Wade set up Richardson for a tap-in. Pakenham hit back in the 75th minute with a superb free-kick from Edvin Trakosevic. Greening had replaced Charlie Conrath in the 68th minute and the historic moment in this contest came in the 81st minute when the man dubbed “The Green Machine” finished in his customary clinical style after a superb pass from Manhanong. Fellow substitute Louis Griffiths grabbed his first senior goal of 2019 when he finished from close range in the 87th minute. Greening reflected on his achievement later that evening when he posted on the club’s facebook page. “When I left the UK over 10 years ago I never thought that reaching 1000 goals was possible especially when I found out I’d be playing 22game seasons as opposed to more than 50 games a season that I’d been used to but I’ve managed to get there eventually and it’s a very special moment for me,” Greening said. Curiously though when the moment came none of the Somerville players celebrated with him as they were unaware of the goal’s significance and Greening was booked for lifting up his shirt during his goal celebration. “I know I haven’t always been my manager’s cup of tea and opposition supporters and players alike always let me know about it but thanks for the banter and bruises over the years as that’s always driven me on.” Greening’s next goal for Somerville will be his 50th for the club and 300th in Australia. He is chasing what is believed to be an unprecedented 10th straight league Golden Boot award but faces stiff competition from White Star Dandenong ace Christopher L’Enclume and Rannesh Krishnan of title challenger Old Mentonians.

Goals galore: The man who can’t stop scoring, Somerville Eagles’ player-coach David Greening. Picture: John Punshon

“To be honest I think my chances of winning it again were lost in the five games I’ve missed this season but I’m proud to have won that honour 15 times all up as I won it six times in the UK.” In NPLW news US import Jennifer Lum made her debut for Southern in its 9-0 loss to Grand Final aspirant Bulleen at the Veneto Club on Sunday evening. Southern keeper Celia Kelsall and defender Erin Clout had fine games for the visitors while Margot Rabbine scored four goals in the opening 34 minutes. Southern’s under-19s lost 2-0 while the under16s went down 3-2 with Rhys McKenna scoring twice for Southern. The under-14s lost 4-0. Southern’s junior program has received a huge thumbs-up with news that Alex Jones from the under-16s has been selected for Victoria’s under-14 metro squad and will compete in the national championships at Coff’s Harbour this week. She’ll be joined by two other Southern products, midfielder Alessandra Davis (under-14s) and winger Candy Kilderry (under-15s), who are now part of the NTC program. Last weekend’s wild weather played havoc with the match schedule of four local clubs. The Mazenod v Mornington, Skye United v Elwood and the Aspendale Stingrays v Rosebud

matches were all called off. The reserves match went ahead at Jack Grut Reserve on Saturday but was eventually called off after 85 minutes. There was a break in play due to a hailstorm and when the referee finally called a halt the Stingrays led Rosebud 14-0. Aspendale’s scorers were Ben Garside Weinert (5), John Athanassiou (3), Luiz Dobre (2), Justin Lampert (2), James Macnab and Lachlan Cetinich. In State 2 South-East news a Ryan Maylin goal in the 63rd minute was enough to give champion elect Boroondara-Carey Eagles all three points against Peninsula Strikers in a physical encounter at Carey Sports Complex last weekend. Boroondara’s Brennan Joaquin was sent off in the 67th minute after receiving a second yellow card and five of his teammates were booked. Strikers threw everything at the home side after the send-off but couldn’t finish their chances. “I wasn’t disappointed with the effort but dissatisfied that we didn’t at least walk away with a point,” Strikers’ gaffer Danny Verdun said. In State 3 South-East news Frankston Pines lost 3-0 away to league leader Collingwood City last Friday night. Pines had gone into the senior and reserves games with 19 players unavailable due to injury, illness, work commitments, a wedding and holi-

days. Teenagers Aiden McKenna and Noah Green (ex-Langwarrin) made their full senior debuts. The seniors’ bench included 15-year-old Daniel Taylor, 16-year-old Adam Ford and 17-yearold Kam Ismail while Ryan Petrucci from the under-15s played a full game in the reserves. “Given the circumstances we did remarkably well against the best side in the competition,” Pines senior coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor said. In State 4 South news Seaford United had its biggest loss of the season when going down 4-0 away to Endeavour United last weekend. Harry McCartney reports that the game was switched to an artificial pitch and Seaford never came to terms with the surface turning in its worst display of 2019. Endeavour was 2-0 up after seven minutes thanks to Daniel Milne and Cooper Andrews and in the first 10 minutes of the second half an Ifeoluwa Ogidan brace put the home side out of reach. Meanwhile Baxter had to settle for a point away from home when it drew 1-1 with Dingley Stars last Saturday. Baxter was the better side in the first half with Nico Juric having a 25-metre shot cleared off the line while Lawrence Komba and Lewis Gibson also went close. Baxter keeper James Foster was much more active in the second period and pulled off some great saves. Komba should have opened the scoring in the 70th minute when he was put through only to be denied by superb goalkeeping from Dingley’s Josh Green. In the 81st minute Dingley fashioned an excellent move down the right and a pinpoint cross was headed home by Dallas McNeil. Baxter hit back five minutes later when substitute Jordan Fernandes was brought down inside the area from a corner and Juric converted from the spot. In the end Baxter left Chadwick Reserve thinking that it should have claimed all three points. As we went to press NPL2 outfit Langwarrin was due to clash with Bulleen on Monday night. The Lawton Park club received good news recently when two of its under-15s, Jack McDonald and Kyle Eichenberger, made it through to the second stage of trials at Melbourne Victory beginning on 1 August. This weekend’s games: FRIDAY, 8.30pm: Doncaster Rovers v Peninsula Strikers (Anderson Park), Frankston Pines v Brighton (Monterey Reserve). SATURDAY, 3pm: Langwarrin v Springvale White Eagles (Lawton Park), Mornington v Caulfield Utd Cobras (Dallas Brooks Park), Middle Park v Skye Utd (Albert Park Field 16), Baxter v Endeavour Utd (Baxter Park), Seaford Utd v FC Noble Hurricanes (North Seaford Reserve), Aspendale Stingrays v White Star Dandenong (Jack Grut Reserve), Tullamarine v Somerville Eagles (Melrose Drive Reserve).
