OPERATION Shadow is in full force in central Frankston as police crackdown on anti-social behaviour and criminal activity. Plainclothes officers are out and about at all times of the day to catch offenders and prevent trouble escalating as part of a major push to make Frankston’s streets safer for all except those who do the wrong thing.

Who you gonna call? (Not Cat Busters) Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A FACEBOOK group dedicated to hunting down feral and stray cats has denied it encourages the killing of domestic pets. The Cat Busters page on Facebook sprang to prominence on Friday (15 July) thanks to a flyer posted in letterboxes in the Frankston area urging cat owners to keep pets indoors since Cat Busters “is in your area”. “Domestic cats kill millions of native birds, reptiles and mammals every year in Australia,” the flyer stated. “Cat Busters catches cats. In suburban areas this includes the use of cage and leg-hold traps.”

The flyer warned cats “may be shot on sight” if found wandering free during curfew times. The Cat Busters Facebook page shows several photos of dead feral cats shot by hunters. When contacted by The Times via Facebook, Cat Busters group representative Matt Trim said Cat Busters “do not kill domestic cats”. “We don’t shoot in residential areas. We’re not vigilantes – we are just assisting local government authorities with their animal control measures, in the same way they themselves do it.” He confirmed the group is not based in Frankston. “Most recently we’ve been in Melbourne and Sydney, where cats are a major problem.

“We have contributors and supporters in every capital city, except Hobart, and many regional areas. “So far we’ve trapped in 57 different council areas, but we have just been given 50 new traps by a new supporter so we hope to expand our assistance program.” Frankston Council expressed concern over any illegal trapping of domestic animals. “If residents are concerned about stray cats on their property, they should contact council, as we can provide safe equipment for capturing animals, which must then be handed in to the council,” Mayor Cr James Dooley said in a statement. “Frankston has had a night curfew

implemented since 1996, whereby cats must be confined to their property from sunset to sunrise.” Cats are more likely to look for mates, defend territory and hunt wildlife from dusk until dawn. Council has 42 “welfare approved cat cages” available for loan to Frankston residents who need “to catch stray cats in an acceptable manner”. Mr Trim said Cat Busters supporters do not use leg-hold traps in Victoria despite the flyer distributed in Frankston claiming otherwise. “That’s a national flyer – we don’t print them out differently for each state. “We don’t lay them in Victoria.

ers do, for foxes, and cats are sometimes caught in them. In Victoria they are used for dogs, foxes and rabbits.” He said group members do shoot cats “for control around rural properties”. Cr Dooley said anyone concerned about the illegal trapping of domestic animals should contact the RSPCA or police to investigate. Frankston Council currently has 21 cat cages out on loan and 567 cats were impounded over the past 12 months. The Lost Dogs Home and Cat Shelter rehouses lost and stray cats.

Conduct panel hearing ‘worth it’

Brick by brick: Schoolchildren are being encouraged to use skills gained playing Minecraft to design a new Frankston train station as part of a state government competition. Digitally altered picture: Andrew Hurst

Fun contest pulls into station SCHOOLCHILDREN can showcase their Minecraft game skills in a competition to design the new Frankston train station. The state government’s Frankston Train Station Design Competition is open to Frankston schools’ pupils and students aged 6 to 16. The junior design competition has been launched ahead of a Frankston Train Station National Design Competition to be announced by the Office of the Victorian Government Architect. Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said he looks forward to posting some of the “awesome” designs on Facebook.

“The junior design competition, launched in anticipation of the new Frankston train station, to be built by the end of 2018, is a fun way for our kids to tell us how they want to shape the future of their Frankston,” he said. Entrants should design the train station of the future using digital tools such as Minecraft or iPad apps. Designs can either be uploaded to YouTube or an image can be submitted.’ A platform and tracks for trains must be included in the design. See pauledbrooke.com/station-design-competition for full competition details.

A COUNCILLOR conduct panel hearing held in April cost ratepayers $15,000 but one of the two councillors questioned by the panel feels it is money well spent. Cr Darrel Taylor, who had allegations of misconduct dismissed by the panel, says he wanted misbehaviour by councillors at Frankston Council to be made public after becoming frustrated by a lack of consequences for “unacceptable” conduct. “I’ve witnessed behaviour from some councillors that I personally regard to be totally unacceptable and no action has been taken,” Cr Taylor said. “Some councillors believe they can behave in an inappropriate manner and get away with it.” Deputy mayor Cr Colin Hampton was ordered by the panel, facilitated by the Municipal Association of Victoria, to formally apologise to two council employees due to “objectively threatening behaviour” witnessed by bystanders at a Allure Bayside apartment development launch in November last year. Cr Hampton demanded to know who had “authorised” Cr Taylor to speak at the event after mayor Cr James Dooley had addressed attendees. Council CEO Dennis Hovenden, who was also at the evening event, told the hearing he was “disappointed and uncomfortable about having to give evidence to the panel” in his evidence at the councillor conduct panel hearing. The two-man panel, barrister Peter Harris and MAV governance member Matt Evans, noted Mr Hovenden “was

Cr Darrel Taylor

disappointed that the parties could not resolve the matter through mediation, particularly that one councillor went directly to a councillor conduct panel without accessing mediation”. Cr Taylor made no apologies for insisting misconduct allegations be heard by the independent panel. “I thought it was time that someone stood up against this type of behaviour and if cost 15 grand to do that and councillors are now put on notice, it’s been worth it.” The current Frankston Council term has been volatile, especially in the past 12 months, amid complaints of “bullying” between councillors. Some of the accusations have been made at public council meetings. Frankston’s nine councillors face voters for re-election in October. Neil Walker

United against abuse NETBALLERS and spectators are uniting for a ‘Sisterhood Masked Morning Tea’ to raise money and raise awareness of Sisterhood, a project initiated by Frankston Toy Library, to support victims of domestic violence. Players will wear something orange at Frankston District Netball Association games on Saturday 23 July at Jubilee Park and entry by gold coin donation for spectators will be contributed to the Sisterhood organisation. “We are looking forward to everyone wearing a mask or orange supporting our theme ‘Unmasking the Violence’,” FDNA president Sharni Plant said. “We hope that by raising awareness, all our netball Sisters will empower themselves to understand what is acceptable behaviour in a relationship.” Games start at 9am at Frankston Netball Pavlion, Jubilee Park Reserve, Hillcrest Rd Frankston and spectators are also encouraged to wear something orange or a mask to show support against domestic violence.

NEWS DESK Brekkyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up CHILDREN from disadvantaged families will face a brighter and healthier start to the day after 255 more schools in Victoria were added to the School Breakfast Clubs program across the state. Deputy Premier James Merlino visited Frankston Primary School last Thursday to announce the expansion of the $13.7 million state government program in partnership with welfare food agency Foodbank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breakfast is the most important meal of the day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it sets our children up to concentrate, learn and be at their best but unfortunately not all kids are able to start the day with breakfast at home,â&#x20AC;? Mr Merlino said. Labor Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke, a former teacher, said Nepean Special School, Frankston, Frankston Heights, Karingal and Kinglsey Park primary schools in Frankston will start School Breakfast Clubs in term three.

Whales breaking records WHALE watchers are recording the â&#x20AC;&#x153;busiest season on recordâ&#x20AC;? as sightings pour in from Western Port and Port Phillip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 2016 whale season has turned into a record breaker around our bays. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just had our busiest weekend of sightings ever,â&#x20AC;? said Dolphin Research Institute, research officer David Donnelly said on Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winter in our bays and surrounding coastal waters has become something of a busy time for keen whale watchers. Large whales are now so regular in our waters that sightings have become an expectation rather than a novelty.â&#x20AC;? Mr Donnelly said although â&#x20AC;&#x153;hunted to the edge of extinction during the industrial whaling era, humpback and southern right whales are making a come-

back, though the latter still has a long way to goâ&#x20AC;? He said the east coast population of humpback whales is expected to reach 26,000 animals this season â&#x20AC;&#x153;which is close to the estimated pre-whaling numbersâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The news is not so great for the slow to reproduce southern right whale, with their southeast Australian numbers estimated to be between just 224 and 251 individuals.â&#x20AC;? Mr Donnelly said up to 16 whales were sighted in the preceding weekend, bringing the number to 56 since 16 June 16. This time last year there had been 33 validated sightings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether this is a case of more whales, more people looking or a bit of both is yet to be determined but one thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure, whales never fail to

attract the attention of the public,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mr Donnelly said reports had also been made of vessels approaching too close to migrating whales. State whale watching regulations limit boats to being no closer than 200 metres. Jet skis and other smaller craft were limited to 300 metres. The Two Bays Whale Project is a citizen science project being run by the Dolphin Research Institute and Wildlife Coast Cruises for the public to report whale sightings and contribute images to a centralised database. The data is used to compare sighting rates, monitor changes in behaviour and give an overall understanding of trends in numbers of visiting animals. Log your whale sightings at dolphinresearch.org. au

FRANKSTON Council has stepped in to offer meals to the needy and disadvantaged in the wake of the closure of City Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cafe at Shannon St Mall until Wintringham arrives to pick up the meals service as part of a state government program. Monday night hot meals are available at Frankston North Community Centre, Monday evenings, 4.30-6pm. Wednesday evening meals are dished up at Seaford Community Centre, 5-6pm and takeaway lunches are available Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1-3pm. Sandwiches can be collected at Community Support Frankston, 35 Beach St and laundry vouchers are also available. Hotdogs and hot drinks are also served up on Friday nights at the Frankston Train Station carpark on Friday nights, 7-9pm by Lifegate.

Social media comments â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unacceptableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A CLOSED meeting between councillors last month was not aimed at restricting councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; freedom of speech according to Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley. The mayor told The Times a mid-week meeting between councillors called at short notice last month mainly focused on discussions around how councillors can best communicate on online social media sites such as Facebook without bringing council into disrepute (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hidden agenda for secret council meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, The Times 20/6/16). The Special Meeting was not listed on councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website and no agenda was released to the public before the meeting.

Cr Dooley said the mayor and CEO are officially the spokespeople of council and while councillors are free to express personal opinions they must make this clear especially when commenting about council policies or â&#x20AC;&#x153;operational mattersâ&#x20AC;? online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be inferred theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re speaking on behalf of council [online],â&#x20AC;? Cr Dooley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Short sentences are used and things can be taken out of context.â&#x20AC;? He noted federal and state laws and the Local Government Act have not kept up with the rapid rise of online discourse and its potential legal ramifications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided to look at what other councils do and ask ourselves â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;how do we deal with this?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? Cr Dooley said. At last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public council meeting Cr

Brian Cunial pushed for the council decision from last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Special Meeting to be publicly released â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the interests of transparency and clarityâ&#x20AC;?. Councillors at the Special Meeting noted â&#x20AC;&#x153;recent media comments (including social media) are unacceptable and damaging to council and may warrant further discussions when all councillors have the opportunity to be presentâ&#x20AC;?. A council officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report tabled at the meeting was not released. Crs Darrel Taylor, Suzette Tayler, Michael Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly and Rebekah Spelman did not attend the meeting. At last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting Cr Glenn Aitken and Cr Taylor clashed when debating how councillors should publicly communicate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got no problem with any councillor

speaking to the press â&#x20AC;Ś councillors are entitled to,â&#x20AC;? Cr Aitken said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do have a very real problem with councillors misinforming the community via the media. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsible or acceptable for councillors to issue, make or utter comments that are then carried into the public arena to distort what the actual truth is.â&#x20AC;? Cr Dooley, chairing the meeting, suspended standing orders with councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; agreement to discuss the matter further. Cr Taylor accused Cr Aitken of being â&#x20AC;&#x153;hypocriticalâ&#x20AC;? and said there is one rule for some councillors that is not enforced for others. Frankston councillors, and some family members, have taken to Facebook in recent weeks to publicly comment on council matters amid online arguments.

We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

THE two men in the car next to you at the lights in the centre of Frankston might be more than just two men absent-mindedly studying the traffic. Despite their casual appearance and nonchalant air they could be members of the police Shadow Taskforce, going about their business of keeping an eye out for miscreants and maintaining law and order. The taskforce, established only in April, has already made 120 arrests and kept lawbreakers off the streets and out of trouble – many for months. Although senior members are reluctant to divulge the number of police in the taskforce, they are quick to point out that – due to its initial successes – its numbers have recently been increased and its future is assured. The officer in charge, Sergeant Duncan McGorrery, based at Frankston for five years, is proud of the success of the group, patrolling the whole of the Frankston local government area, but which can go anywhere at any time to catch offenders targeting Frankston. “We are out to prevent crime in uniform and plain clothes, so any potential offenders should not be too confident that we are not around,” he said. “We could be in a cafe, down the beach, at a bus stop, or tailing a car.

“We are investing resources in grass roots policing with the aim of making people feel comfortable, especially in the city centre.” Sgt McGorrery revels in the taskforce’s multi-functional role and members’ ability to blend in with their environment, depending on the role they are playing and the types of crime they are out to prevent. “Being in plain clothes and also uniforms we are saying we are always around,” he said. “You can never be sure where we might pop up and that’s part of our success.

“In this way we are applying heat to local crims by talking to their friends, family members and colleagues, perhaps on a daily basis. We know they are then talking to the crims and warning them, saying we are looking for them, and that’s keeping them nervous and intimidated. “They know we are after them and that’s keeping them on the straight and narrow.” He cites the group’s ability to “lock an area down” and search house-tohouse, if necessary, to root out offenders.

The taskforce’s focus is on highvolume crime which is plaguing Frankston and surrounding suburbs – such as thefts of cars and thefts from cars, drug use, crop houses, trafficking, street violence, shop stealing, and burglaries. They “relentlessly monitor and track” high-risk offenders, with any means available, and use their powers to have them remanded in custody and off the streets whenever possible. “Our charter is to protect community safety and we will use the full

force of the law to ensure that,” Sgt McGorrery said. The arrest of two known criminals in a stolen car in Skye Rd, Frankston, on Monday 4 July, illustrates the effectiveness of the taskforce through its ability to keep tabs on known offenders while going unnoticed themselves. Their male and female targets – unaware they were being watched – got such a shock when police pounced that they sped off in panic, crashing the Holden Calais and sending the man, 24, through the windscreen. He

was being treated for spinal injuries at Frankston Hospital last week. The couple was remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 30 August: she on charges of car theft, conduct endangering life and evading police; he on charges of car theft, and various drug and traffic offences. The mistake they made was to underestimate the forces being used against them. This proactive policing is seen to be working. Statistics collected through a community survey show public confidence in police is up 3 per cent; satisfaction with public order policing is up 4 per cent, and satisfaction with police and public contact is up 7 per cent. The taskforce exploits younger criminals’ desire for gossip and braggadocio on social media, as well as through online sales and secondhand dealer sales of stolen goods. “We gather intelligence anyway we can,” Sgt McGorrery said. “We have found that swift responding is often our best weapon.” Debriefing offenders often leads to the arrest of other criminals. Recently, Shadow Taskforce members raided the house of a known drug trafficker, only to meet – and arrest – one of Frankston’s most prolific ice dealers who just happened to be visiting. Was this a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or an example of proactive policing coming up trumps? The taskforce sets out to hunt offenders, but Sgt McGorrery describes it as “victim focused”.

MID YEAR CARAVAN

“We want to support victims and put resources in place to help them, as well as cementing strategies in place to reduce the chance of further victims,” he said. This support may include assistance with installing security doors, CCTV, phones or security. “Victims, especially, want us to catch offenders,” he said. “And their assistance in providing clues and details of offenders for police – even the smallest piece of information – can prove vital in nailing a culprit.” In one case a thief stole his younger brother’s car and was at large for three months. Taskforce members helped him get back his car, earning his gratitude and appreciation. Being proactive against youths congregating in central Frankston, especially in the evening when they can be affected by ice or alcohol, is a major focus. “One of our biggest tools is disruption policing,” Sgt McGorrey said. “We know youths congregate in the CBD and around the cinema complex, and this is often a catalyst for crime, especially violence, so we act quickly and move them on. “Other young people and families should feel safe in town and not threatened.” Keeping a covert eye on crime – especially potential crime – is the role of a taskforce whose members may not be seen, but whose presence can be felt by those in the shadows. Might be best for them to come into the light.

Robbery charges SOUTHERN Metropolitan Region Crime Team Investigators have charged an 18-year-old Langwarrin man following two aggravated burglaries and a burglary in Rosebud in which a Kia car was stolen. They occurred at houses in Eighth Av and Tarwarri Av, 8 July. Police arrested the man at 7.40am Wednesday. He was charged with numerous offences, including aggravated burglary, intentionally causing injury, assault, theft and burglary. He was remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on a later date. The Kia was recovered at Langwarrin Football Club the following day. Sergeant Anthoula Moutis, of the media unit, said the police has escalated their responses to aggravated burglaries and carjackings across the state. At the start of May, under Operation Cosmas, police were given more resources to prevent, deter and investigate aggravated burglaries and carjackings. Day and night patrols are being conducted in high risk areas to prevent offences taking place. Since the operation began there have been more than 75 arrests.

Night moves: Three men in camouflage outfits, wearing gloves and carrying bolt cutters, outside the Langwarrin house.

Cars stolen in Langwarrin home raid AN aggravated burglary at Langwarrin, Thursday 7 July is being investigated by Southern Metro Region Crime Team detectives. Three men partially masked and wearing gloves forced their way into a Warrandyte Rd home about 2.30am.

They stole the keys to three cars, and then stole a white 2012 Holden Cruze, registration 1CV5BM, and a white VL Holden Commodore sedan, registration 68324H on heritage plates. The cars were driven off in different directions.

Police media’s Leonie Johnson said the family slept on undistributed and discovered the cars missing in the morning. CCTV shows one of the men wearing a Quiksilver hooded jumper and a second wearing jeans and thongs.

Police have released images of three men they believe can assist with their inquiries. Anyone with any information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

FRANKSTON Embona Armed Robbery Taskforce detectives are appealing for public assistance after an armed robber intimidated staff at the Aldi supermarket in Carrum Downs, 7.10pm, Sunday 10 July. The man dressed all in black – but wearing distinctive red runners – menaced a female staff member with a

knife while demanding cash. Shoppers looked on fearfully. CCTV footage at the store on Frankston-Dandenong Rd shows the man flicking the knife near the woman’s face before fleeing on foot. No one was injured during the incident. In-store image: The man, right, police believe may be able to assist with their inquiries and, above, a pair of the distinctive red Adidas runners.

Child abuse play shows hope is important Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au CHILDREN often pretend to be superheroes they admire in comics or on screen but a darker side to pretending to be Spider-Man features in a new play called The Truth is Longer than a Lie to be staged at the Frankston Arts Centre this month. Young Matthew, a character in the play based on real-life accounts of child abuse, adopts the persona of Spider-Man to try to escape from the brutal reality of a life of abuse at the hands of his stepfather in “a welfare-dependent family with drugs problems”. Meanwhile, Amy faces the nightmare of sexual abuse by her outwardly respectable father Ben in “a well-to-do family” where nobody suspects anything is wrong. Edithvale playwright Kieran Carroll was commissioned by Monash University to write the play about child abuse based on a PhD thesis by Neerosh Mudaly and Chris Goddard. Carroll says it took about six months to research and write the play and another six months to put the “large” 95-minute play together featuring nine actors. “Monash University wanted to react to some of the pretty dark statistics with regards to child abuse and family violence,” Carroll said. “They wanted to create more awareness about the problem.” The prolific playwright, the author of 16 produced plays since 2002, admits it was “very daunting” to tackle the harrowing subject of child abuse. “Sometimes I read things that were beyond belief,” he said. Real-life quotes from children featured in the university thesis are used throughout the play and become springboards for the narrative of The Truth is Longer than a Lie. “I suppose there are theatre shows where we’re

Woman trapped after car crash POLICE interviewed a 29-year-old woman after a crash in Frankston on Sunday. The Frankston woman was driving in Ashleigh Av around 1pm when she lost control of her car and hit a power pole. Senior Constable Adam West, of police media, said the woman was trapped for a short time before being released by emergency services. She underwent a preliminary breath test and then an evidentiary test in which she allegedly returned a reading of 0.264 per cent. The woman is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving, failing to display P-plates and careless driving.

going to go along and we’re going to laugh and we’re going to be entertained but there are those that are trying to challenge and educate and reshape thinking,” Carroll said. “It’s certainly not a play where you will come out feeling light-hearted but hopefully you’re moved by what the children go through and in the end there are some traces of hope for them that things are going to get better. “I try to show the recovery process is a long process but there is some hope for some of these kids. “In some ways, Matthew comes out of the play a lot better because he still has the love of his mother while the wealthier girl’s mother stays in complete denial of the situation. “For those sort of families keeping it in house seems more important than the child and having their reputations ruined.” No matter the circumstances of a family, Carroll hopes audiences will not look the other way if they suspect a child is being abused. “If they’re leaving with a message it could be if they suspect something is going on with a neighbour or someone in a house near you or something in the school system it’s a community responsibility in some ways to try to investigate that in a safe way.” For help or information about child abuse, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Young leaders camp out SECONDARY students from Dromana, Rosebud, Mornington, Mt Eliza and Western Port, participated a three-day youth leadership camp at The Portsea Camp, in late June. The camp – for 32 Year 10 students – was organised by the Mornington Peninsula Partnership Forum, made up of the eight Bendigo and Community Bank branches on the peninsula, and Mornington Peninsula Shire. The forum aims to bring together possible sources of funding for strategic projects on the peninsula. “As this was the first camp, there was a great sense of anticipation and excitement about its potential to provide real opportunities for those attending,” Bendigo Bank branch manager Kerry Debernardi said. Organisers hope the camp will become an annual event. Young people were encouraged to develop skills to engage with their communities and to become young leaders. The shire’s youth services team devised the activities program which focussed on cultivating and developing leadership skills, community connectedness and social engagement. Mt Eliza Secondary School Year 12 student Tia McLean –Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Young Citizen of the Year – and Padua Mornington School captain Liam Kelly – winner of the Peninsula Short Film Fest two years in a row – spoke to students about their accomplishments and ambitions. “Having Liam make the documentary [about the camp] is another opportunity for us to support a talented young person and fits very well into the whole ethos of this project,” Mr Debernardi said. Hand signals: Jaia, Sophie, Morgan, Emily, Shontail, and Lily create a group art work during a youth leadership camp held by the Mornington Peninsula Partnership Forum.

T E G D U B A N O BATHROOMS Have a heart: Associate Professor Jamie Layland is one of few doctors to have inserted an absorbable heart stent into a patient.

Heart stent a world first AN absorbable heart stent was inserted in a Peninsula Health patient. This breakthrough for the health service was achieved by Associate Professor Jamie Layland, one of a few cardiologists in the world who has inserted this new absorbable stent. He and fellow cardiologist Robert Lew, also of Peninsula Health, are part of a worldwide team investigating the use of absorbable stents in patients with heart disease. A stent is a small mesh tube used to treat narrow arteries in the heart. Traditionally, a metalbased stent is placed in an artery of patients undergoing a coronary angioplasty – a procedure which opens blocked arteries and restores normal blood flow to the heart. “The absorbable stent is similar to the traditional version, but it has the benefit of dissolving

after the device has served its purpose,” Prof Layland said. "This is a revolutionary advance in the treatment of coronary artery disease. "The absorbable stent will open an arterial blockage just like a metallic stent, but then it dissolves over time, allowing the artery to return to a more natural state.” The radical new stent dissolves in around two years – compared with traditional metal stents which remain in a patient’s body for life. The stent is made of a degradable material which is designed to stay intact before breaking down over the years. Coronary artery disease is a major health concern with absorbable stents expected to benefit many patients in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula.

Beach ramp over its final financial hurdle THE final financial steps are in place for a viewing platform and beach access ramp to be built overlooking the beach at Point Leo. A project of the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch, the platform will be at the end of a boardwalk running from the lifesaving club to the beach. The six metre square viewing deck will be open to the public and also provide lifesavers with uninterrupted views along the beach. Steps and a wheelchair access ramp will run from the deck to the sand, making Point Leo the first surf beach on the peninsula to have all abilities access. Plans for the boardwalk and viewing platform have been lodged with Mornington Peninsula Shire and the DSAMP hopes it will be built by mid-2017. The $80-90,000 for the boardwalk, viewing deck and beach access has come from the DSAMP, Point Leo Foreshore Committee, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Australian Government (Stronger Community grant) and Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club. John Bowers, who has been co-ordinating the project for the DSAMP, said it would bring “significant benefits” to all beach users. “Further access to the beach from the platform will be available using our free loan purpose built Sand Cruiser wheelchairs,” he said. “The viewing platform will provide lifesavers with a full unim-

peded view of the beach as well as providing a marshalling platform for wheelchair participants to view the activities on DSAMP event days. “From there, wheelchair bound surfing participants will enjoy watching the beach activities while waiting for their turn to surf instead of waiting at the lifesaving club where there is no beach view." Mr Bowers said 21 per cent of people on the Mornington Peninsula were over 65, well above the 2011 state average of 14.2 per cent. “The Frankston-Mornington Peninsula catchment has one of the highest proportions of older people in Australia,” he said. “Using the Australia wide established figure of 19 per cent of our population living with a disability, it would be expected that out of the peninsula’s 125,000 residents there are about 23,750 with a disability.” Keith Platt

Access all areas: The all abilities access ramp and boardwalk will make it easier for wheelchairs to be taken to the beach at Point Leo.

Historic boats behind a model occupation Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au ROB Lippiat is reviving the days when paddle steamers regularly circumnavigated Port Phillip. But he’s not about to embark on a voyage of the bay, it’s more about looking at the past in scale, about 100 to one. Lippiat is building model replicas of the boats and admits to doing things by halves. His wooden boats and split down the middle and mounted on mirrors. “I used to make them complete, but this way they can fit in with any decor,” Lippiat says while sitting at his workbench in Mt Martha. “That was more than 14 years ago when I sold them at various markets, the main one being at Southbank.” According to Lippiat the bottom fell out of the model boat boom he’d been experiencing soon after 11 September 2001 the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. Coincidence or not, the loss of the model boat market meant he had to return to the building trade (he ran a roofing company and also erected house frames) and the other recreational loves of his life: hang gliding, surfing and diving (dodging a seal that he thought was a sharks off Flinders and taking the wrong tunnel to an undersea cave in Western Samoa are just two of his many tales). Lippiat was an early starter among the ranks of hang gliders, having always “wanted to fly like a bird”. He was accomplished and flew the

The boatman: Rob Lippiat and one of his models of the historic vessels that once regularly took day trippers around Port Phillip.

cliffs at Mt Martha (often pursued on the ground by by-laws officer), from Flinders to Cape Schanck and around Portsea and Point Nepean. He laughingly admits “every land is a crash landing” and remembers the difficulty in scaling high security fences around the Quarantine Station at Point Nepean. There were also “28, or was it 36” circles in a downward spiral from 8000 foot above Double Island Point in Queensland.

Nowadays, he still surfs and has decided to go back to the boats, albeit concentrating on the paddle steamers that in the late 1800s plied Port Phillip, such as the Weeroona, Hygeia, Ozone, Lonsdale and the Golden Crown. Photos and dimensions are available on the internet, along with their histories. An accomplished cartoonist, he chooses his own colours. The latest crop of models is

mounted on mirrors instead of being framed. “I wanted to make Australian boats, especially those that had something to do with the bay,” Lippiat says. Inspiration also came after reading a book about shipwrecks on Victoria’s west coast. More definite ideas come in the form of photographs sent by boat owners commissioning him to make them a model of their pride and joy. Lippiat reaches for an iPad to call

up some historic pictures of boats but pauses on a site that hosts live feeds of cameras pointing at several of the peninsula’s better known surf beaches. The pictures show there is swell, an offshore wind and an incoming tide. All thoughts of model boats are pushed aside; the “Mastershipwright” – as Lippiat calls his business – is off in search of a wave. To find out more about Rob Lippiat’s model boats call 0418 544 464.

Tax time IT’S

AUSTRALIANS are being warned to be on the lookout for tax-related scams during tax time. Assistant commissioner Graham Whyte said scammers are particularly active during tax time because of the large number of people lodging their tax returns. “In the last couple of years, not only have we seen a significant increase in the number of scams reported to us but also the different types of approaches used by fraudsters,” Mr Whyte said. In 2015 almost 87,000 phone and email scams were reported to the ATO, an increase of more than 90 per cent from 2014. From January to May this year, the ATO received over 40,500 phone scam reports. Of these, 226 Australians handed over $1.2 million to fraudsters and over 1900 gave out some form of personal information, including tax file numbers. Mr Whyte said that while most people were able to identify scams, it is important to remain alert during tax time. “Most Australians are pretty good at catching fraudsters in the act. This is clear from the amount of scams reported to us compared to the number of people handing over money and

advertising feature

Tax time is prime time for scams personal information,” Mr Whyte said. “We encourage people to continue to be vigilant and to protect their personal information by keeping it private.” Mr Whyte said that although the ATO makes thousands of outbound calls to taxpayers a week, there are some key differences between a legitimate call from the ATO and a call from a potential scammer. “We would never cold call you about a debt; we would never threaten jail or arrest, and our staff certainly wouldn’t behave in an aggressive manner. If you’re not sure, hang up and call us back on 1800 008 540,” Mr Whyte said. “Lately, we have been receiving reports of a variation of this aggressive tax debt scam, where

callers impersonating ATO officers demand payment via iTunes gift cards and pre-paid Visa gift cards purchased from supermarkets and department stores. “We will never request the payment of a tax debt via gift or pre-paid cards such as iTunes and Visa cards. Nor will we ask for direct credit to be paid to a personal bank account.” Mr Whyte said while the ATO does communicate with people via bulk email, it would never request personal details, such as banking information. If such personal details were required, you would be redirected to ATO online services. If you think you have been contacted by a fraudster or have fallen victim to a phone scam, contact the ATO on 1800 008 540.

SET on a picturesque 0.52-hectare (1.3 acre) block in the always popular Kinfauns Estate, this expansive and beautifully presented home offers a fabulous work-life balance with excellent facilities in place for a home based business. The property is fully fenced with a remote-controlled gate securing the long aggregate paved driveway that leads up the home and nearby outbuilding. Upon entry, the immediate feeling is one of space and light with a bright family room and meals area soaking up the sun. There is wood heating to the meals area which adjoins the well-appointed kitchen which is complete with dishwasher, a wall oven and a large

corner pantry, and from the kitchen you step out to a quaint alfresco patio. A combined formal living and dining room adds that welcome extra space for entertaining and for some winter ambience there is an open fire place. The spacious main bedroom features an ensuite with spa bath and a walk-in robe, with two more bedrooms, both with built-in robes, sharing the main bathroom. With the double garage converted into a well-planned home office with two rooms and a reception area, the separate study with private access could now be a great fourth bedroom for guest accommodation. The lovely gardens are well-tended and perfectly complemented

by an impressive solar-heated pool, and a peaceful reflection pool landscaped amongst river stones and neat hedges. The enormous tandem length Quakers barn has a remotecontrolled roller door and several rooms will comfortably cater to your storage requirements. At the rear of the shed there is undercover parking space for extra vehicles. This property is warm and inviting, and it must be said exceptionally wellplanned with nothing out of place. If you have always wanted to be part of this relaxing family-friendly country estate, that is still only a short distance to schools and shops, do not miss out on this opportunity.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mr Hodgkinson passes away at 45 Compiled by Melissa Walsh BY the death of Mr J. F. Hodgkinson, the district loses an old and highly esteemed resident. He possessed many natural talents besides being good with the brush and pencil, he was also a fine etcher. A lover of good poetry, he was an original thinker and a keen student of nature. His life exemplified two well known sayings “Talent is developed in solitude” and “They whom the Gods love, die young” for he passed away at the early age of 45 years. He will be greatly missed by the residents of the adjoining properties. His practical advice was always ready when needed. He was one of the original members of the Mutual Improvement Society, and assisted in the building of the local Recreation Hall. As Mr Berry was the organiser and promoter of the Hall, so Mr Hodgkinson was the architect. For his assistance to the Hall at critical periods, it is proposed to place a small memorial tablet on the wall. *** BRUNSWICK A.N.A Football club will play a team from Naval Base in the Frankston Park today when a collection will be taken up in aid of the French Red Cross. In the evening a dance will be held under the auspices of the “Australian Club” Admission 1s, refreshments provided. Alleet’s band has been engaged. *** THE sum of £6 has been handed into

the fund of the local Roll of Honor being the net result of the dance held by the “Australian Club” on 1st July. Considering many calls upon the public, this amount is very gratifying and resounds to the credit of the hon. sec. for her untiring labours under great disadvantages. *** ON the 8th inst at the Naval Base football match, a belt was lost containing £28 in notes. It was picked up by a man, and claimed by Michael Moore as his property. The finder gave Moore the money, and shortly afterwards another claimant established his right to the lost property by describing same, and Moore was given into custody for stealing. He was brought up at the Frankston Court on Monday, and remanded to the City court on Monday next. *** INFORMATION has been received that the Corp. W. Green mentioned in the Anzac honor list is Corp. W. M. Green, (now Sergeant) son of Mr and Mrs W M Green of Mornington Junction. Awarded D. C. M. *** THE following letter was received by the Rev A. P. McFarlane, from the vestry of St Anselm Middle Park: — Dear Mr McFarlane.— I have been instructed by the members of St Anselm’s Vestry to convey to Mrs McFarlane and yourself the deep sense of appreciation which they feel at the character of your united work in this parish. We shall ever bear,in grateful rec-

ognition of your own efforts, a keen memory of your personal worth your unfailing courtesy. your christian earnestness, and your kindly disposition. These attributes have done much to influence our lives for good. We also desire to place officially on record Mrs McFarlane’s loyal and devoted work for the parish, and to tender her our lasting expression, of gratitude for her unselfish labors in our midst. A record of our appreciation is being embodied in the minutes of the Vestry meetings, to be signed by the Church Wardens. With heartfelt wishes for the continued prosperity and happiness of Mrs McFarlane, yourself and family, I am, yours very sincerely, W. C. Humphries, Hon Sec. *** COMMONWEALTH War Loan. Applications by small subscribers up to £100. So that there may be no misapprehension, the Commonwealth Treasurer desires it to be known that any person may apply on the Extended Installment Subscription basis for amounts up to £100, receive the full privileges attaching to small investors, that is to say, they will get a full twelve months’ interest on 30th June 1917. It was originally intended to give this privilege to employees and other similar small investors only, but the Treasurer has since decided that any person may take advantage of the arrangement up to £100. Persons desiring to invest larger amounts can, by lodging a separate

application, get full privileges attaching to small subscribers for the first £100. The Subscription List will close on 1st August next, and as that date is drawing close it behoves everyone who can make funds available, to invest in the War Loan to the fullest extent of their means, and in view of the terms which are offered there should be very many who can take part. *** ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of Gifts. The following letters have been received by the Secretary of the Somerville Patriot’s League from boys at the front, in grateful acknowledgement of goods received by them from that body. In France. 14th May 1916 - Just a line to thank the ladies of your League for having received one pair of sox from them, through our officers. Many thanks. I am yours faithfully. 793 SPR ARCH WHITE, 2nd Australian Tunnelling Coy. May 28th 1916 - It is with great pleasure that I write to say that I received a parcel from you and I understand that they were sent for Xmas. But it only arrived yesterday 27th May. The contents were all in perfect order and I must say the ladies used good judgment in choosing the contents. My mess-mates and myself had quite a birthday. As the weather is very hot a few tasty bits went well. I must thank you for treating us so well and working so hard for us, but I hope your labor will not be in vain. So once more thanking you and

wishing you all good health. I remain yours sincerely, CORPORAL KIMBERLEY. *** ON Sunday last a large number of returned sick and wounded soldiers visited Somerville under the auspices of the automobile club. The men arrived about quarter past twelve and were then taken in to a sit down dinner consisting of ham, poultry and mutton with hot vegetables. The tables were beautifully decorated with wattle blossom and other flowers and gave a nice appearance to the hall. Altogether there were about 180 men present and expressed themselves as being delighted with the welcome extended to them. During the dinner Cr Griffeth formally welcomed the men and said he was pleased to have them here. Crs Murray and Keast, and Major (Dr) Griffith supported his remarks. *** A LARGE gathering of friends assembled in the hall to bid farewell to six of our boys who were presented with silver cigarette cases, inscribed with their initials. A short programme of songs was gone through, and dancing between items made an enjoyable evening. The soldiers present were Corporals Meldrum and Hutchinson, Privates Heywood, Philbrick, Nivett and Thornell. Supper was handed round and thus finished a very enjoyable evening. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 July, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Reflections on the race for the Iron Throne By Stuart McCullough I couldn’t help myself. I lapped up every second of it even though it meant planting myself in front of the television for ten consecutive hours, breaking only for sustenance. It’s official: I’m hooked. I’m the first to admit that I am addicted, despite having been resistant early on. Now there’s nothing so important to me as finding out who will win the battle to rule the six kingdoms (and two territories) and sit on the Iron Throne. Ser Malcolm or Ser Bill? Comparing politics and Game of Thrones is probably a cheap shot. One involves treachery, bloodlust and depravity. The other is a television show. But watching election night coverage is an odd tradition in this country that centres around fluctuating tallies and, more than anything else, one man: Antony Green. Frankly, he is the Elvis Presley of Psephologists; the man to whom an expectant nation turns in times of need. To soothe us. To give us answers and to tell us that we didn’t waste our time queuing up for an hour at the local primary school. Come Election Day, there are plenty of talking heads who’ll espouse all manner of rubbish for hours. Antony Green, however, controls a super-computer that predicts the future. Over the years, my feelings about the electoral process have changed dramatically. Once, I treated volunteers thrusting their ‘how to vote’ cards in my direction as if I was Marlene Dietrich and they were crazed autograph hunters. Sunglasses planted firmly on my nose and a scarf wrapped around my head to remain incognito, I’d sweep past with my entourage re-

fusing to accept anything shoved in my direction. I felt this was preferable to accepting papers from just one of them, thereby inadvertently undermining the whole ‘secret ballot’ process, invalidating the entire election and destroying the space time continuum forever (possibly). Long ago, I worked at a number of elections. This was back in the presausage sizzle era, when voting still carried the stigma of some kind of community based order. These were marathon days that I attended with an elaborate packed lunch and during which I was paired with someone who was (hopefully) more experienced. There was no thrill greater than being able to locate someone’s name on the

18 July 2016

electoral roll in quick time. I spent the 2004 election in Queensland, watching as it became clear that the nation had rejected the idea of installing a Prime Minister who shakes hands like a shaved gorilla. That was the year I had the honour of casting an absentee ballot. It’s like being a VIP or the extra short queue at the airport check-in counter reserved only for those lucky enough to be a member of a requisite ‘club’. Absentee voting is the luxury electoral experience. I often wonder why I bother to vote in my own electorate at all, given that a short drive would guarantee special treatment. In 2007, I spent election night at my youngest brother’s wedding. (In the

interests of accuracy, I should make it clear that it wasn’t just his wedding. It was also his wife’s wedding. There are very few weddings that involve just one person.) Even in the midst of a reception, results trickled in like news from a distant war zone. The result was clear when, as we were heading home, we saw three young men wearing ‘Kevin ‘07’ t-shirts fall out of a taxi. They looked like the happiest people on earth. I can only imagine how they looked a short three years later. What became of the t-shirts is anyone’s guess. In 2010 and 2013, we voted at different schools, despite not having moved. On the first occasion, the school just down the road hosted and,

in a stroke of genius, decided to combine the election with their school fete. Fate of the nation, fete of the school; all served with onions and mustard. Waiting to cast your ballot, you were surrounded by stalls of every kind. By the time you reached the booth proper, you had to balance homemade organic banana bread and a jar of lime marmalade along with your senate paper. It was confusing, too. Although I can’t be sure; if it so happens that I accidentally shoved my bratwurst into the House of Representatives box, please forgive me. Next time, the school just down the road was quiet. Perhaps the fete had been too much of a success and the sheer scale of their entrepreneurism had got up the noses of some of the less-well known political parties who frown on that kind of thing. All I know is that we had to go to a different school without so much as a sausage sizzle. Just an eight-year-old playing violin. Whether this was intended as a subtle form of political campaigning by invoking the image of Nero playing the fiddle whilst Rome burned it was, doubtless, the subject of a complaint of some kind. The electoral cycle is much like my first cycle; a Malvern Star that had five gears and was at its best when pointed downhill with gravity is in its favour. But I love Election Day. It’s nothing short of a miracle that millions of people can cast their vote and it’s all done in such an orderly, peaceful manner. And if that’s not something of an achievement, I don’t know what is. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Eagles soar: Edithvale-Aspendale handed out a 52 point defeat to Langwarrin. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Pythons flex muscles as Edwards snags nine PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt PINES bounced back from a shock defeat last week to inflict a savage loss on Bonbeach in MPNFL Peninsula Division football on Saturday. Pines coach Patty Swayne scoffed at suggestions pre-match that there was daylight between Bonbeach and the top three sides after the Sharks had won seven of its past eight games. However, Bonbeach coach Steve Hughes might have been right after the Sharks were made to look second rate by the Pythons, going down 4.12 (36) to 17.6 (108). Pines’ loss last week to Edithvale had a little to do with the fact that full back Jack Fisher didn’t play, along with star forward/ruckman Tim Bongetti, tough onballer Chris Guganovic, classy youngster Brad Kiely and the underrated Damian Plane. They were all back on Saturday and

despite taking a while to get going, recorded an effortless victory in the end. Aaron Edwards took his own footy to the match at Eric Bell Reserve, relishing the outstanding conditions with nine goals in a faultless display, while Guganovic and Adam Maling were superb also. Only seven points separated the teams at half time, before Edwards started his one-man show that saw the home side boot 11 goals to six behinds after the major interval. Jackson Casey and Justin Bennett were the best of the Sharks. League leading goal kicker Mick Meehan was the best player on the ground on Saturday in Edithvale-Aspendale’s demolition on Langwarrin at Lloyd Park. In what some considered a danger game, the Eagles were never in any trouble at all, extending their lead at every change to run out 19.8 (122) to 10.10 (70) victors.

Liam Harris was superb across half back, providing enormous run and drive for the Eagles, as did Jack Fisher, while Todd Woodbridge again relished the wide-open spaces of Lloyd Park. The game saw nine Under 19s play in the match with Langwarrin having five of them. Under 19 skipper Kyle BusuttilInglis made his senior debut and looked at home with poise and attack on the footy, finishing with a couple of goals. Luke Churcher, Blake Peach, Nick Tuddenham and Shane Paterson were the best of the Kangas. On a negative note in the match, Tommy Turner was carried from the field with a leg injury, while Langwarrin’s Gerard Brown was reported and offered two-weeks for nothing more than a late hip and shoulder on Woodbridge. For a player to get suspended for that would be an outrage, as was shared by Eagles’ players and officials

after the game. It was simply a blatant over-reaction from an umpire that likes to be involved in the occasion. Mt Eliza took more than an hour to shake off a very persistent Karingal, eventually winning 10.12 (72) to 6.13 (49). The Bulls led at every change except for the one that mattered as the Redlegs almost doubled their score in the last quarter, booting five goals to four behinds. Darren Booth and debutant Mason Dewitt were sensational for the winners while Sam Gill and Dan Gormley were also at their best. Aaron Paxton booted three goals to be Karingal’s best while Aaron Lees was also very good. Mornington’s dominant 24.11 (155) to 12.9 (81) victory against Seaford was marred by the head injury to Nick Martin, who was taken from the field by ambulance. The match was stopped in the third

quarter after Martin was taken down in a tackle. At that stage, the Dogs were well and truly on top after booting 15 goals to seven in the first half. Jackson Calder was at his scintillating best with nine goals while Jimmy Cameron booted four and Josh Halsall was dominant. Josh Stokes and Curtis Murfett were the best of the Tigers. Frankston YCW had a few players back this week and the result was a 14.10 (94) to 7.8 (50) victory against Chelsea. The Gulls were in the contest for a long time, however, trailing by just 21 points at the last change. The Stonecats booted four goals to three behinds in the last quarter with Bryon Barry and Lachy Wallace dominating, while Daniel Waddell booted three goals in the absence of David Bodley.

Devon Meadows farewell a friend NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt THE Devon Meadows Football Club was a super proud club on Saturday night. But it had little to do with the 13.10 (88) to 10.11 (71) victory against finals aspirants Rye. It was more about how the Meadows went about the entire day after star player, two-time league medal winner and favourite son Beau Miller lost his fight with cancer. After being diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer a couple of months ago, Beau lost his fight last Thursday, leaving behind wife Stephanie, two young sons and a football community that adored him both on and off the field. The players from both sides kicked off the day with a guard of honour and the ground stood as one for a minute’s silence before Beau’s four-year-old released balloons into the sky. In an emotionally charged match for both sides, the Meadows got away to the perfect start when Ash Adams kicked a goal, before Rye took control of the match. At quarter time the Demons led by 16 points and they maintained that break until half time. Devon Meadows coach Glenn Michie said after the game “that it was like we had a 23rd magnet on the board in the second half”. “Things started to happen, the ball started to bounce our way and the group grew an extra set of legs,” Michie said. The result was a six goal to one point third term that saw the Meadows go into the final break with an 11 point lead. The home side, playing with the spirit of Beau Miller urging them along, extended their lead in the final quarter to finally run out 17 point winners. It was a fitting result for a footy club that has had it pretty tough in 2016. “I’m so proud to be Devon Meadows right now,” Michie said. In the lead up to the match, Michie said the support of his football club from the local football community had been overwhelming. “The support from all the clubs across both divisions and even the South East League has been amazing,” Michie said. “My phone has been filled with messages of good wishes, which just goes to show how good the footy community is.

“We faltered against Frankston Bombers when Beau’s original diagnosis was announced but this time I’m really confident the group will have stronger resolve. “Whatever the result, I’ll be proud that we can even get out there together and honour the great man (Beau),” Michie said. Honour Beau Miller the Devon Meadows Football Club did, both on and off the field. Former coach Brent Clinnick was one of many supporters at the game, who said afterwards that he couldn’t be a “prouder Devon Meadows football person right now”. Fittingly, great mate Jesse Dehey was the best player on the ground and carried Beau’s son off the field at the end of the match. Rye Football Club should be congratulated too. It was tough day for the Demons. They desperately needed to win to keep their finals hopes alive, while being respectful of the occasion. There were many, many tears shed at Glover Reserve on Saturday, many of which were also coming from the red and the blue, both on and off the field.

The loss saw Rye drop to seventh place on the ladder, two points outside of the top bracket with one less game to play than four of the other six sides vying for a place in the five. Sorrento also has one less game to play and its win against Dromana on Saturday was significant. Playing their final game of the season on home turf, the Sharks simply had no choice to win this one if it wanted to play finals. Regardless of the fact they won, they are still outside the top five. The heat was on some individuals and not surprisingly, they lifted when required. Sorrento trailed by 12 points at quarter time, 10 points at half time and seven points at three quarter time before booting four goals to one in the last to win 13.8 (86) to 11.9 (75). Luke Tapscott was simply superb and answered his critics with a best on ground performance while Nick Corp was just as damaging with five goals. Nick Marsten needed to produce after a shocker the week before (he had plenty of mates) and he responded and Heath Cameron proved his worth in his first senior game in years.

The plucky Tigers just couldn’t hang on when the heat got turned up in the last, despite the efforts of Christian Ongarello across half back, Beau Cosson in attack with four goals and Billy Quigley, who has had a superb year. Rosebud inflicted Hastings second horror defeat in as many weeks with a devastating 14.19 (103) to 8.9 (57) win. Hastings kicked the opening goal of the game before Rosebud took control from that point on. The margin was three goals at quarter time, five goals at half time and 47 points at the last change. Rosebud’s inaccuracy (14.19) saved the Blues from further embarrassment. Greg Bentley was sensational with four goals in a best on ground display while Nick Boswell was devastating across half back. The Blues have dropped to fourth place. Somerville is back inside the top five after a comfortable 19.13 (127) to 13.6 (84) win against Pearcedale. The game was set up in the first half when the Eagles got themselves 43 points in front. Ben Crowe was electric once again

with six goals, giving him 11 in the past two weeks, while Justin and Todd Farrelly and Ben Sedgewick were outstanding. Troy Jacobson and Dylan Hoare kicked a couple of goals each for the Dales and were their best players. Tyabb went scoreless for three quarters against Frankston Bombers on Saturday before finishing the game 1.3 (9) to 24.17 (161). James Degenhardt was the best player on the ground with six goals for the Bombers while the midfield of Sam Fox, Brett and Dale Sutton and Ryan Kitchen was unstoppable. Rohan McGrath and Riley West were the best of the Yabbies. In the final game Red Hill belted Crib Point. The Hillmen had 38 scoring shots to 12, including 13 to two in the opening term. Inaccuracy cost the second placed Hillmen valuable percentage in a tight season, winning 14.24 (108) to 6.6 (42). Jake Mitchell and Luke Marchetti were outstanding for the Hillmen while Nick Rutherford and Kain Stratton tried hard for the Magpies.

Rosebud’s perfect record, Skye in mourning SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie ROSEBUD Heart is the only senior team throughout Victoria’s State Leagues with a perfect record. While the fledgling club has achieved a rare feat in only its second year of competition the mood among local clubs was one of gloom as tribute was paid at last weekend’s matches to former Skye United president and FFV Chief Financial Officer Chris Attard, 52, who died last week. Skye drew 0-0 away to Harrisfield Hurricanes on Saturday but the club remains a genuine title contender in State League 4 South. Heart’s relentless push towards promotion from State League 5 South came at the expense of Pakenham United last weekend as Scott Morrison’s men recorded a 3-0 home win. The tone of this contest was set by two goals in a minute from James Liddle, his first in the 14th minute via a first-time strike following a corner and the second neatly slotted past the advancing Pakenham keeper. Dave Greening’s mandatory goal came in the 72nd minute after he burst into the area on an angle then blasted the ball home to make it 3-0. “While winning every match so far is a great achievement and all credit to the players our first aim is to secure promotion and then we’ll worry about titles,” said Morrison. Langwarrin blew a great chance to end a 23year Lawton Park drought when it drew 0-0 with local rival Mornington in their State League 1 South-East blockbuster last weekend. The last time Langy got the better of the Seagulls at Lawton Park was on 21 August 1993 when a Robert Mathieson goal clinched a 1-0 win for the home team. Mornington went into Saturday’s match without suspended Scott Webster and injured key central defender Steve Elliott while Langy midfielder Sam Scott failed a pre-game fitness test. Langy could have had this one sewn up by halftime but was denied by poor finishing. Koray Suat should have had a first-half hat-trick while Nabil Mozaffaruddin mistimed headers and Nick Thorogood hammered a shot against the bar while also twice striking the ball across the face of goal from the right side of the area. Mornington came closest in the 14th minute when Sammy Stewart’s lay-off was struck sweetly by Paul McEvoy but Langy powerhouse Alex Van Heerwarden cleared off the line. Mornington keeper Kris McEvoy was much more involved in this match than counterpart Robbie Acs and in the dying minutes an acrobatic lunge at full stretch by McEvoy denied substitute Anthony Selemidis who had met a cross superbly and headed the ball firmly towards the top far corner. Frankston Pines went down 2-1 away to Warragul United last weekend as it battles to avoid relegation from State League 1 South-East. A superb Kane Bentley ball over the defence enabled Josh Calle to lob advancing Warragul keeper Jake Richardson to make it 1-0 for Pines in the 33rd minute but within a minute Ben Caffrey and Graham Hill both slipped on the greasy surface and Jacob Vitale pounced to level. Pines hearts were broken five minutes from time when Robbie Stephen’s far post header from a corner settled the issue. Peninsula Strikers and Old Scotch keep getting involved in goal fests and Saturday’s State League 2 South-East clash at H.A. Smith Reserve was no exception with league leader Old Scotch edging out Craig Lewis’s side 4-3. Strikers led 3-1 at the interval with goals from Alex Hopson (5th minute), Matt Morris-Thomas (24th minute) and Conor Keely (41st minute) with Sam Shearer (11th minute) on target for the home side. Shearer completed his hat-trick with a controversial 82nd penalty and a 97th minute match winner while substitute Louis Razuki had levelled at 3-3 in the 89th minute. After the match talk centred on the late penalty decision and its impact on the outcome. “The referee initially gave a goalkick then his assistant called him over and he awarded a penalty,” said an upset Lewis. “I was proud of our boys as we hadn’t played for four weeks and probably ran out of legs in the last 15 minutes but I’ve got no doubt that the penalty changed everything and gave them an extra lift.”

Seaford United lost 3-2 at home to Beaumaris in Saturday’s State League 2 South-East clash. Both Antun Vilic and Ashley Cattermole squandered good chances early on for Beaumaris. Vilic made amends in the 28th minute with an opportunistic strike from inside a crowded penalty area. Seaford fought hard to get back on level terms and was rewarded in the 39th minute when Dylan Waugh emphasised his scoring prowess with a superbly curled shot from the edge of the area to make it 1-1. The home side charged forward straight from the restart and a seemingly innocuous cross was met by a sliding Caleb Duncan whose own goal made it 2-1 to Seaford. Vilic nabbed his brace in the 78th minute after pouncing on a poor attempted clearance and two minutes later Seaford lost its main attacking threat when a quad injury forced Waugh off. Seaford coach Paulo Pinheiro had already used three substitutions so his side was forced to see out the game with 10 men. The decisive moment came in the 87th minute when Duncan grabbed his chance to go from zero to hero and he nabbed the winner to give the visitors all three points. Baxter retains hopes of catching Rosebud Heart in the championship race in State League 5 South and defeated Old Mentonians 4-1 at Baxter Park on Saturday. Early goals to Daniel Sharratt and Liam Kilner killed off the contest and a headed goal by captain Frank Ntim in the 25th minute gave the home side an unassailable lead. Kilner came off at half-time with an injury to his foot and may have to go for scans this week. Paul Swann made it 4-0 in the 87th minute and Marcus Spivey scored the visitors’ consolation goal in the 90th minute. NEXT WEEKEND’S GAMES Saturday, 23 July, 3pm: Mornington v Morwell Pegasus (Dallas Brooks Park), Frankston Pines v Berwick City (Monterey Reserve), South Springvale v Langwarrin (Warner Reserve), Doveton v Peninsula Strikers (Waratah Reserve), Caulfield Utd Cobras v Seaford Utd (Victory Park), Skye Utd v Dandenong South (Skye Recreational Reserve), Rosebud Heart v White Star Dandenong (Truemans Road Recreation Reserve), Casey Panthers v Baxter (Prospect Hill Reserve).
