POLITICAL campaigning in marginal bayside seats is starting to heat up ahead of November’s state election with train services on the Frankston line again on track to be a major bone of contention between both major political parties.

A slick Liberal Party website that vows to tell “the truth about how the Frankston line is being improved” is the latest weapon in the political battle between both major parties in the marginal bayside ‘sandbelt’ seats.

Domain name registration records show the name www.frankstonline. com.au was registered by ‘the Liberal Party of Australia Victorian Division’ last month before the website went live online.

Postcodes may be key to drug sites Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au THE postcodes of drug users visiting Frankston’s methadone outlets will be collected to help authorities identify the best locations for methadone outlets in other areas.

The short-term tactic is aimed at diluting the cluster of six outlets near the station that dispense opioid replacement therapies - and reducing the need for addicts to congregate there.

It is a key outcome of a meeting held last Thursday between the Minister for Community Services, Mary Wooldridge, and Frankston councillors, aimed at combating drug-related problems in Frankston city centre.

Also attending was David Southwick, Parliamentary Secretary for Emergency Services and Minister Kim Wells, who toured the city after the meeting to see the action.

The area around the station is regarded as a “mecca” for drug users whose presence is blamed for increased crime and anti-social behaviour.

A “secondary market” of dealing in methadone to fuel drug habits has sprung up and some of the pharmacies’ clients travel from outside the area to hang around the station and Young St. Around 570 clients are registered for opioid replacement therapy in the city centre, up from 192 a decade ago.

Over the past few months the councillors have repeatedly urged the minister to visit Frankston to see first-hand how the methadone program was degrading the city’s liveability and giving it a “junky image”.

Some had even threatened to protest on the steps of parliament to force the state government to “do something” about crime here.

At the meeting they made it clear the current concentration of pharmacotherapy outlets and the needle exchange program were “directly impacting on our local traders, shoppers and visitors”.

CCTV footage showing illegal drug activity illustrated their plight. This included footage showing drug addicts “shooting up” in full view of passersby and near the station and police station. Others scenes showed a mother injecting herself while her young child was present.

At the meeting Minister Wooldridge committed to holding a forum of relevant ministers “to identify solutions to drug issues and pinpointing what data needs to be collected to fully understand the use of the methadone services”.

Cr Glenn Aitken said the minister had queried the link between bad behaviour and methadone usage. “We maintain that it is a significant factor but she thinks it is not the whole issue,” he said.

“Generally, though, we appear to be ‘on the same page’: she has agreed to ongoing, in-depth discussions with the council, and we will attempt to find out where the users are coming from, which may be from within Frankston, but also from Hastings, the Mornington Peninsula as a whole, and the outer areas of Dandenong.”

Discussions at the meeting focused on ways of vetting users who would not be supplied with methadone without their lifestyles being scrutinised. “We can’t affect change unless the supply of drugs is accompanied by a strong intervention process,” Cr Aitken said.

Cr Colin Hampton said the minister appeared “tuned in” to the city’s drugs problem but “seemed amazed we did not know the postcodes of users”. He hoped a list of postcodes could be drawn up from notes in the prescription process.

Racing: Mitchell Pratt practices for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

Swimmer fifth in Glasgow bid PEARCEDALE swimmer Mitchell Pratt, above, placed fifth in 200m butterfly final at the Commonwealth Games on Sunday morning.

As a member of the Australian swimming team he trained in Manchester before moving to the games village in Glasgow for the opening ceremony.

Pratt attended Bayside Christian College in Langwarrin and graduated last year. He trains with the Tiger Sharks Swimming Club in

Cranbourne under Ben Hiddlestone and is one of three club swimmers at the games.

The 200m butterfly was his sole event.

School registrar Julie Rebbeck said Pratt was a “fabulous” student who joined the school in Year 7. He swam for his house and was a Tiger Sharks member from early on.

A younger brother, Cooper, is also at the school.

Protected again: Part of the 42 hectares of green wedge land at Stotts Lane in Frankston South which will not be allowed to be subdivided for residential development.

Guy: no go for homes on wedge

NO BOOK W !

PLANNING minister Matthew Guy has knocked back a proposal to subdivide land at Stotts Lane, Frankston South which would have carved up the green wedge land for residential development.

In August last year, Frankston councillors voted to ask the minister to consider Schutz Pty Ltd’s plan to subdivide 42 hectares at Stotts Lane.

An attempt to rezone the land on the eastern side of Stotts Lane for about 180 new houses was made more than 13 years ago, and was followed by similar failed attempts in 2004 and 2011.

The land is zoned Rural Conservation Zone and is covered by a Significant Landscape Overlay. It is classed as part of the Mornington Peninsula Green Wedge despite falling under Frankston Council’s jurisdiction.

Opponents of the subdivision proposal said any development would have extended the Melbourne metropolitan area to the southern reaches of Baxter, erasing the rural gap between Baxter and Frankston.

Politicians across party lines opposed the development.

Defenders of the South East Green Wedge

secretary Barry Ross thanked federal Liberal MPs Greg Hunt and Bruce Billson and State independent MP Geoff Shaw, Liberal MP David Morris and Labor MP Johan Scheffer for their support in opposing the Stotts Lane rezoning.

He praised Mr Guy’s decision to reject the application.

“We applaud the minister’s decision which should act as a deterrent to the many land speculators who have clearly been waiting on the outcome of this application before pressing their own claims,” Mr Ross said.

Frankston mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, said council respected the planning minister’s decision.

“Council received a letter on 16 July from the Minister for Planning refusing the application, and we respect the Minister’s decision and the amendment will not progress,” he said.

Mr Guy’s letter stated: “The amendment would change the strategic direction for the area and is therefore inconsistent with State policy which seeks to protect the values of non-urban land, opportunities for productive agriculture and significant landscapes within Melbourne’s green wedges.”

Elderly couple flees armed ‘invader’ Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au AN elderly couple was forced to flee their home after an armed man burst into their lounge room during a dramatic siege in Frankston last week.

The couple’s home in Reid St was one of three properties allegedly “invaded” while occupants were inside during a police chase on Monday afternoon.

A 36-year-old Frankston man was later arrested and remanded in custody on multiple charges including three counts of aggravated burglary following a 45-minute stand-off with police.

The drama began when the alleged offender ran from police after his vehicle was pulled over in Lardner St, near Monash University, about 12pm.

Multiple police units, including the dog squad, were called in as the man ran along Heatherhill Rd then over Frankston Flinders Rd and Foot St before running through a number of houses and properties about two blocks away from Frankston High and Overport Primary schools.

The man is alleged to have entered an occupied house in Oxford St, where police say he stole a number of items including a change of clothes, before jumping the back fence into a second property fronting onto Cambridge St. He is then alleged to have fled over the fences of a number of other properties before breaking into a house in Reid St where police said he stole a bicycle, car keys and knives.

When police confronted the man as he tried to exit the front of property on the bicycle while wearing the new

set of clothes, he is alleged to have threatened them with a knife before again fleeing into another house after smashing the front window with a running kick.

The man dove through the broken glass into the house then bolted out the back door and over the fences of two more properties, before arriving at the elderly couple’s home.

The terrified man and woman ran out the back door of their home after the

THE proposed new war memorial at Beauty Park is no closer to being built due to a funding shortfall for the $1.4 million project.

Frankston Council has allocated $100,000 in its 2013-14 budget and $300,000 of rates revenue in 2014-15 towards the memorial.

Council CEO Dennis Hovenden made it clear earlier this month that council should not be expected to contribute any more money to the memorial’s construction.

“It is clear that council has already made a substantial financial commitment to the project,” Mr Hovenden said at this month’s council meeting.

“Council will continue to identify other funding sources at state and federal government level.”

The new memorial was unanimously backed by councillors last year but its $1.4 million price tag was not known at that time.

In February this year, detailed plans for the new memorial, avenue of honour and memorial walk were unveiled by the mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor. Stage one construction of the memorial alone was budgeted at $883,116.

Dunkley MP Bruce Billson has pledged $100,000 of federal government funding and Frankston RSL has offered to pitch in $10,000 annually for ten years once the memorial is built, mostly for “maintenance costs”.

“Tin rattling” efforts coordinated by council asking Frankston residents to contribute to the memorial, while beneficial, are unlikely to make up the project’s near $1 million funding shortfall.

It had been hoped the new memorial would be ready to cope with large crowds expected at next year’s Anzac Day commemorations marking the centenary of the World War I. Advice supplied publicly at this month’s council meeting inadvertently revealed this deadline was unlikely to ever have been achievable as soon as the war memorial’s costs came in above $500,000.

Council’s city development director advised: “Complex projects or new/upgrade projects over $500K will be planned to be delivered over a minimum three year period.”

Since the new war memorial will not be ready for Anzac Day next year, council intends to host commemorations at Frankston Park and will discuss the plan with the Frankston Dolphins Football Club and Frankston RSL. Neil Walker

Memorial funding impasse

100% of your fire levy goes to our fire services Last year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fire services, not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession.

100 per cent of the fire levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes firefighters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fire stations and 2,300 trucks.

Each year, Victoria’s firefighters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and grass fires, fires in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fire levy.

Volunteer ‘takes a break’ Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au LOOKING for “something worthwhile” to do to help the community first attracted Langwarrin’s Marie Wright to volunteer at the former Citizen’s Advice Bureau in Frankston.

Now – 45 years later – she thinks it might be time to take a break.

Mrs Wright, who celebrated her 80th birthday and retirement from the now Community Support Frankston yesterday, said she had received “so much satisfaction” from her part-time role as well as making many friends.

After five moves and three name changes since 1970 she says the service is working better than ever and admits she is sad to go. “But it’s time,” she said. “I’m not as alert as I was and don’t follow things as quickly.”

After completing her training she became an interviewer at the CAB and, later, was asked to organise the interviewer’s roster, which acting agency manager Steve Phillips admits “can be difficult, especially during the winter months when people are ill or on holiday”.

“But, somehow, she managed to keep her sanity and good humour and is admired for the way she copes with an increasingly difficult situation,” Mr Phillips said.

He said Mrs Wright, by her nature, had garnered support and co-operation from other volunteers.

“When a volunteer is asked to do an extra shift, it seems often only one phone call is necessary.

“Marie has pretty much worked on the Monday afternoon shift for 45

CEO resigns

years. She always appears calm and is never fazed by the things she hears from the people presenting.”

Mrs Wright was made a life member of the organisation in 2000 for her outstanding service.

She is known affectionately as the Egg Lady - for bringing in eggs from her chickens for the staff to buy - and is also involved in her local church.

She and husband Keith spend time each year travelling in their caravan to various places around Australia visiting family on the way. She has four children and seven grandchildren.

Staff at Community Support

Frankston, at 35 Beach St, yesterday gathered to wish her a happy birthday, say goodbye, and praise her contribution to the service which has been providing much needed information and assistance to residents in need since 1968.

Special projects coordinator Marion Lester described Mrs Wright’s contribution to the organisation as “whopping”.

“She’s been a wonderful interviewer and roster supervisor – and a lovely person. We would like to formally acknowledge the work she has done for us. We will miss her but we wish her well.”

PENINSULA Aquatic Recreation Centre CEO Bruce Mackay has resigned to take up a new career opportunity within the industry.

Mr Mackay joined PARC in October 2012 and has overseen the establishment of the operations of the new centre.

Frankston mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, said the $49.7 million environmentally-sustainable centre is nearing completion and is on track to open in September.

“Bruce can take much pride for having contributed to what will be the Peninsula’s premier fitness and fun park for the use and enjoyment of people of all ages and abilities,” Cr Taylor said.

PARC chair Roseanne Healy acknowledged that much of the preparatory work for the centre was now complete with Mr Mackay having brought together a highly committed team for the official opening.

Ms Healy said the board has appointed Chief Operations Officer Peter Armstrong as acting CEO while a successor for Mr McKay is recruited.

Cr Taylor said council and the PARC board commended Mr McKay on the important contribution he had made to the PARC’s inception and wished him all the best in the future.

Mulch Great for those big jobs

$27.50m3

Victoria’s paramedics are highly skilled professionals who dedicate their lives to serving the community and helping out in tough times.

Ambulance Victoria and Victorian Government representatives have been negotiating with the ambulance union over a new pay deal for paramedics since August 2012.

To break the deadlock, the Victorian Government has agreed with Ambulance Victoria to make a new pay offer to paramedics.

This new offer is fair and reasonable. It includes: • a sign-on payment of $3000 for full-time paramedics (pro rata for part-timers and new employees) – this is twice as much as the previous offer • an immediate 6% wage increase • an increase of 3% in July 2015 and a further 3% in July 2016 – a 12% increase in total.

Paramedics may also receive pay increases arising from the Fair Work Commission’s arbitration of their work value claim.

Paramedics existing terms and conditions will be retained, so that they continue to receive: • 10 weeks paid leave annually • 10 weeks paid parental leave • 6 months long service leave after 15 years service • tax exempt benefits of up to $9000 a year.

Victorian paramedics will still be the only paramedics in Australia to have access to guaranteed superannuation benefits via a defined benefit superannuation scheme, including a lump-sum option after 30 years of service.

These increases will mean an ALS Year 6 paramedic can receive a total package of more than $110,000 a year (including rolled-in-rate, built-in overtime, FBT exempt benefits and guaranteed superannuation benefits – but not additional overtime). In addition, paramedics will receive the $3,000 sign-on payment.

The Victorian Government is continuing to invest in ambulance services, with funding provided for an additional 539 full-time equivalent ambulance officers.

This new pay offer gives paramedics the salary increase they deserve, maintains the generous terms and conditions they enjoy today and recognises the importance of the job they do protecting and saving lives.

Shaw a target for unions, women Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

Searching questions: Google ad campaign suggests Labor candidates endorse a Liberal Party campaign website.

VEC investigates online Frankston line campaign Continued from page 1 The Liberal Party is not listed on the frankstonline.com.au website but the site is compliant with VEC guidelines on political advertising.

The site is “authorised by Damien Mantach, 104 Exhibition Street, Melbourne”. Mr Mantach is the state director of the Liberal Party’s Victorian division and the Exhibition St address listed on the ‘Frankston Line Facts’ website is the address of the party’s Melbourne headquarters.

VEC communication, education and research manager Sue Lang declined to confirm whether the Google AdWords keywords using Labor candidates’ names breached electoral advertising guidelines.

“All I’m prepared to say is that we are conducting enquiries,” she said.

Whoever selected the Google AdWords ‘Tim Richardson’ and ‘Sonya Kilkenny’ to direct online traffic to the Liberal Party owned frankstonline.com.au site may be exploiting a failure of VEC electoral campaigning guidelines to effectively police online advertising.

Political print and TV ads must identify who has authorised the message.

A Victorian parliamentary inquiry is finalising a report on “the impact of social media on Victorian elections and Victoria’s electoral administration”.

The inquiry’s terms of reference included a look at “whether online electoral advertising, such as Google Adwords, is appropriately regulated in Victoria.”

The VEC has previously said it has no power to force Google to disclose the name of advertisers who book Google AdWords campaigns.

A Labor opposition spokesperson said: “Questions need to be answered by the Liberal Party - if they are responsible for this deceptive ad campaign then it is nothing more than a sign of desperation by the Napthine Government who have delivered very little for residents on the Frankston Line.”

The Liberal Party’s Victorian campaign manager Andrew Cox did not respond to several requests for comment over several days.

ACCUSATIONS of political “thuggery” in Frankston have begun to fly in the lead-up to November’s state election.

An online pro-choice campaign targeting independent Frankston MP Geoff Shaw over his anti-abortion stance is being directed from behind the scenes by a trade union.

The ‘Never Going Back’ website at www.nevergoingback.org.au states: “[Premier] Denis Napthine is helping ex-Liberal MP Geoff Shaw draft legislation to overhaul Victoria’s abortion laws and undermine Victorian women’s right to choose, all so he can cling to government.”

Internet registry records show Victorian Trades Hall Council industrial and campaigns officer Luke Hilakari registered the Never Going Back website’s name in January this year but the site itself does not fully disclose the union’s role in establishing the campaign.

The Victorian Trades Hall Council is not formally affiliated with the Labor Party, although many of its member unions are.

The VTHC’s media and communications organiser Edwina Byrne confirmed the Never Going Back campaign is “not an official Trades Hall campaign”.

Ms Byrne said the union had merely provided “technical support” and registered the name of the website.

“Luke has teamed up with a bunch of savvy feminists and he’s the leader of the group,” Ms Byrne said.

The website which encourages

Shaw under fire: A screengrab from the Never Going Back website takes aim at Geoff Shaw and Premier Denis Napthine.

members of the public to “sign up” via social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter to “spread the word”, claims Mr Shaw wants to “recriminalise abortion”.

Mr Hilakari said the union had “helped build the website” on behalf of a group of organisations “passionate” about Mr Shaw’s anti-abortion opinions.

He said it “would be unfair to describe the union as taking the lead on this [website]” but declared the VTHC “stood shoulder to shoulder with those who support a women’s right to choose.”

A spokesman for Mr Shaw condemned the union’s failure to declare its role in the Never Going Back campaign and disputed several facts listed on the campaign website.

“Not only is the information up on their site a complete fabrication, it is also a heinous representation devoid of any sort of respect for the difficult decisions that women can encounter,” he said.

“This is typical union thuggery, demonstrating that there are in fact new lows to which they will sink.

“We’ve been brave enough to openly discuss these issues, and

it’s groups like this that don’t want to have a reasoned debate, but just want to silence those with a differing opinion.”

Mr Hilakari told The Times that Liberty Victoria, a self-described non-partisan advocacy group for civil liberties, was one of the organisations involved with the Never Going Back campaign.

Liberty Victoria spokesperson Anne O’Rourke said the group “had watched” Mr Shaw’s attempts to “wind back” 2008’s abortion law reform bill and had decided to campaign against him via the Never Going Back initiative.

“It’s estimated that one in three women will have an abortion in their lifetime, yet there is still a stigma around it when there shouldn’t be,” Ms O’Rourke said.

Ms O’Rourke said Liberty Victoria would support politicians “across party lines” who are prochoice.

Mr Shaw has called Victoria’s abortion laws “the worst in the world” and wanted to give antiabortion doctors the right to not refer women to other medical practitioners for a termination.

Cultures united in faith IN a week filled with international tensions in the wake of the MH17 air disaster, there was a beacon of hope at one church in Frankston.

Three congregations – Cook Island Christian Church, the Chinese Evangelical Community Church and High Street Uniting Church – came together for One Great Sunday of Sharing.

Readings were given in Mandarin and Cook Island Maori, prayers were said by the three ministers for each other’s flocks and for troubles around the world, followed by hymns by choirs in different languages.

Ross Huggard, chair of High St Uniting Church’s council, said: “This joint service unifies us all - in a wonderful mixed-up, diverse kind of way. Yet it reinforces that we can, and should, celebrate in fellowship together.”

Pastor Charles Ho, from the Chinese congregation reflected on the interfaith service: “I think we’ve all felt what Heaven is like this morning.”

United: The Rev Dr Robert Johnson, left, the Rev Eddie Dean, centre, and Pastor Charles Ho lead the service.

A MAN was knocked unconscious after being repeatedly punched to the head during an attempted carjacking outside Karingal Hub last weekend.

The 38-year-old man was stopped at traffic lights at Karingal Drive waiting to turn right into Cranbourne Rd when two males approached his distinctive yellow Toyota Hiace work van about 6.30pm last Saturday.

He told police one of men went to the passengers-side door and distracted him while then second man opened the driver’s door and began punching him to the head while ordering him to get out of the vehicle.

He was knocked unconsciousness during the attack and suffered a broken nose and extensive facial bruising.

The two would-be carjackers, described as being of Maori of Pacific Islander appearance and aged in the mid-20s, were forced to flee after the lights turned green and traffic began to bank up.

Detective Senior Constable Chris Zurek of Frankston Embona unit said such a brazen attack was of particular concern to police.

“We have a father on his way home from work whose been seriously assaulted and knocked unconscious while sitting in the safety of his car,” he said. “This is a pretty serious escalation from the typical street assaults we’ve been seeing in area. To try to steal a car with the driver inside is really up another level and very concerning to police.”

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call Frankston crime investigation unit on 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

POLICE are on the hunt for graffiti vandals who caused thousands of dollars worth of damage during a “tagging” spree in Frankston.

Investigators from Frankston’s graffiti taskforce, Operation Canned, are appealing to the public to help identify the vandals after a business and sports facility were sprayed with multiple tags in two separate incidents last month.

Operation Canned investigator First Constable Catherine Mussared, who is based at Carrum Downs police station, said the first incident occurred at building on McMahons Rd between 9pm on 2 June and 6am on 3 June.

A sports ground on Hillcrest Rd was hit ten days later, with numerous tags appearing sometime between 9pm on 13 June and 9am on 14 June.

Green and silver paint was used to write ‘PK’, ‘BUSTA’ and ‘PAKS’ on sports facilities, buildings and signs.

She said police were “particularly keen” to know if the tags represented a local gang known as PFK (Playing For Keeps).

First Constable Mussared said police were taking a proactive approach in trying to identify graffiti vandals, such as by monitoring specific tags and gang activities.

And in an effort to encourage help from members of the public, police are offering cash rewards of up to $500 as part of a Crime Stoppers ‘dob in a tagger’ campaign.

She said the latest police operation has successfully identified 46 offenders, layed 209 charges and executed 25 warrants in Frankston and Carrum Downs since February.

Anyone with information about vandals active in the community is urged to report confidentially online at www.crimestoppersvic.com. au or call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Frankston, the place to see theatre anywhere ANYWHERE theatre is just that: theatre performed anywhere, except theatres.

Frankston residents will have the best seats in the house from 22 August – 6 September as the curtains rise on the city’s first Anywhere Theatre Festival.

The 80 performances of 20 productions include plays in cafes, circuses in game parks and operas in galleries.

The festival has been running for four years elsewhere in Australia and was listed in 2012 as one of the “nine international festivals you must see” listed on the Qantas website, Travel Insider.

“What rocks about Anywhere Theatre Festival is

that it will appeal to anyone who has wanted to see a show but wants something a bit different to a traditional theatre experience,” Paul Osuch, cofounder of Anywhere Theatre Festival, said during a launch last Tuesday at Rocodillo’s Café, Frankston.

“It also appeals to anyone who wants to explore the nooks and crannies of Frankston and wants an excuse to do so.”

Performance locations range from McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery in Langwarrin to the skate park in Frankston and Seaford station.

“The festival is also innovative in that performances happen at business locations: from Eeny Meeny cafe and Sofia’s restaurant to Bayside

A ferry amusing tail A SHOW being staged as part of the Anywhere Theatre Festival is all about Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

Peninsula Ferry Tails, by former Rosebud and Sorrento entertainer Charlie Brown, is described as a family and children’s comedy.

“I’ve tried to capture some great icons of the peninsula, including the Dromana drive-in, bottlenose dolphins, sand sculptures, the enchanted banksia forest, re-enacting a famous Graeme Kennedy sketch – he’ll be the king – the story of William Buckley, the old Arthur’s seat chairlift and the Sorrento to Queenscliff ferry,” Brown said.

He said the show centres around a man called Frank Stone who thinks the show is all about him, so he is

WHAT a terrific group of committed volunteers at St Aiden’s Church in Carrum. I always enjoy my visits and was privileged to be invited to cut the ribbon and declare Longbeach Community Garden officially open.

St Aiden’s is a place where there’s a real sense of community and I enjoyed my tour of the new garden where I’m sure plants and friendships will grow sideby-side.

AS of July 1, the Consumer Affairs Victoria funded financial counselling service for people living in the Frankston and Kingston local government areas will be provided by Good Shepherd Youth and Family Services. Those in need can call the service, known as Bayside Peninsula Financial Counselling Service on 1300 765 595. Calls will be returned within 24 hours. Consumers can also call MoneyHelp on 1800 007 007.

MINISTER for Sport and Recreation Damian Drum and Minister for Police and Emergency Services Kim Wells visited the Carrum electorate on the same day this month. Minister Drum met with management at the Frankston Basketball Stadium to chat about plans to expand the stadium, and Minister Wells was at the Frankston SES headquarters in Seaford to announce around $64,000 in grants for three local lifesaving clubs and the Carrum Coastguard under the Volunteer Emergency Services Equipment Program.

BELVEDERE Community Centre and Lyrebird Community Centre have each received $3000 in State Government Training Delivery Support grants to purchase teaching and learning resources for their skills training courses. Courses include computer, English as a Second Language (ESL) and literacy classes aimed at improving the skills of people with limited access to learning opportunities such as early school-leavers, unemployed, low-skilled workers and those from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds.

Rock, Chisolm,” Mr Osuch said.

Anywhere Theatre Festival Frankston is hosted

by Frankston Council with Frankston Arts Centre, The Edge, EastLink and Mornington Peninsula Tourism.

Originating in Brisbane, the festival has rocketed from 25 to 400 productions in three years.

“One of the keys is that we bring businesses, performers, audiences and council together,” Mr Osuch said.

“Performers get rent-free spaces, businesses get new customers, audiences get to see great theatre and council gets to see sites activated and communities invigorated.”

Showtime: Charlie Brown (Frank Stone) will be performing three shows at Frankston library as part of the Anywhere Theatre Festival.

devastated to find that it is actually about the peninsula and Frankston’s history, not “Frank Stone his story”.

Stone encounters a fairy which happens to be the “peninsula ferry in drag as a fairy” who engages him to search for the amazing “peninsula tales”. Stone thinks they are “tails” and is perplexed when he has to keep re-enacting stories, hindering his “illinformed” task.

The show involves the audience and an acted-out children’s story from the Frankston Federation of Schools publication, Focus on Frankston.

“I feel very privileged to be performing such a show as it means a lot to me having grown up on the peninsula. I’m sure the content will excite local families as it promotes all that’s great about our region,” Brown said.

The three shows at Frankston library are at 1pm on 23, 30 and 31 August. Tickets are $8; $25 for a family (minimum one adult).

A long, paved driveway leads up to a double garage under the roof line of the home, and from the entry foyer, a separate study –or fourth bedroom –is straight ahead.

From the adjoining formal dining area you easily step through into the kitchen to what is a very pleasant casual living zone. The kitchen has a distinct timber theme and appliances include a gas cook top, rangehood and dishwasher, with the adjoining casual meals space enjoying a great outlook across the grounds. A second living space has a gas log-effect heater. From here there is access out to the full-length verandah that runs along the rear of the home from which to take in the vista across the sizeable backyard. A lovely big wattle tree provides a great splash of colour amongst the pine and gum trees, and you can even enjoy an outdoor lunch in the shade come summer time. Solid and sturdy, this home dates back about 25 years and has aged well with excellent presentation. Modern buyers may certainly wish to update in places but the great bones necessary to build upon and create a wonderful family home are all here.

Tax time IT’S

FOR ALL YOUR TAXATION NEEDS Specialists in Personal Returns, Rental Properties, Partnerships, Companies and Trusts

See an expert to avoid tax scams THE Australian Taxation Office has warned investors not to be fooled by legitimate-looking tax avoidance schemes.

ATO deputy commissioner Tim Dyce said illegal schemes are usually designed to appear legitimate, even to experienced investors, but there are telltale signs you can look out for.

“Tax avoidance schemes aren’t always the ‘too good to be true’ types. They can be more sophisticated than many people realise,” Mr Dyce said.

In particular, Mr Dyce advised people to watch out for complex structures and unusual financing arrangements such as round robin financing and non-recourse loans.

“If the main purpose of the arrangement is to reduce your assessable income by claiming deductions you are not entitled to, without any real investment, it is likely to be a scheme.”

In one case, promoters offered a ‘mortgage

management plan’ promising to assist investors in repaying their home loan sooner. The scheme involved using the equity in their home to get additional loans for the purpose of claiming investment deductions equivalent to home loan interest payments.

It’s not just the design of the arrangement you have to look out for, but also what the promoter is promising and asking from you in return.

“We often see promoters of illegal arrangements guaranteeing that their product is ‘no risk’. They’ll also encourage you to keep the arrangement a secret or discourage you from seeking independent advice,” Mr Dyce said.

The ATO encourages anyone unsure about a tax investment they have been offered to seek a second opinion from an independent and trusted tax professional.

“At the end of the day, when it all goes wrong, it will be you and not just the promoter, who will

have to face the penalties.”

Be wary of promoters that:  Offer zero-risk guarantees for their product.  Refer you to a particular adviser or expert.

They may seek to persuade you by claiming the adviser has specific knowledge about the arrangement and the promised tax benefits.  Ask you to maintain secrecy to protect the arrangement from rival firms.  Discourage you from obtaining independent advice.  Do not have a product disclosure statement or prospectus for the product.

Watch the ATO’s ‘Get a second opinion’ YouTube video for more details at www.ato.gov. au/general/tax-planning/second-opinion For more information about how to get out of a scheme and report illegal arrangements and promoters see www.ato.gov.au/general/taxplanning

THE demonstration in tree and stump blasting with gelignite was very successfully carried out on Tuesday afternoon last the 28th inst. on Mr Gibson’s property at Hastings.

Although the day was showery, about 35 spectators assembled to witness operations.

In all eight stumps and one tree were

grubbed and without one exception, those present were unanimous in their praises of the effective work done.

One particularly large stump was cleanly grubbed and shattered with a shilling’s worth of explosives, all the roots being run perfectly.

The spectators considered that it would have been a cheap job for twice the cost.

Small stumps up to 1 foot in diameter were blown out for 3d or 4d each.

Two large stumps, each about 3ft. across, were blown up simultaneously with the electric shot firing method.

The stumps were about 20 ft. apart and after connecting up the wires, which convect the electricity, all retired to a safe distance (about 50 yards).

As soon as the current was passed along the wires, the charges under the two stumps explodes simultaneosely and both stumps were seen thrown into the air in a dozen pieces.

The electric outfit used at the demonstration was the property of Mr Kroronse, of Tyabb, and is for sale or else available for hire by the week.

Supplies of Noble’s Glasgow Gelignite, Fuse and Detonators may also be obtained from Mr Krcrousee who is the local representative. *** FRANKSTON Court of Petty Sessions was held on Monday last. before Mr Williams JP. Francis Brown claimed £5 damages from John Garlepp for alleged unlawful assault on the 10th July on the Mornington Road.

Mr Lawrence Rostron appeared for the complainant, and Mr Kirby for Garlepp.

Francis Brown, the complainant said that on the evening of that day he escorted Miss Walsh, whom he did not know, to her home.

She was accompanied by two home boys, and she told him that she had been annoyed by two men and that she was frightened to go home by herself.

She asked him to find a young man named Bolger, whom she knew, but he was unable to do so.

He then said that he would go home with her, which he did.

He saw her safely inside the gate, and returned to the road, when he was assailed from behind and pushed on to his face on the road.

He got up, and encountered Garlepp in a fighting attitude, while another man, whom he could not recognise, was about ten yards away throwing clay at him.

Garlepp attacked him, and as a result he was again knocked over, and had a piece of skin knocked off his face.

He procured a billet of wood and his assailants decamped.

Constable McCorniack said that on the night of the 10th July the complainant came to the police station, and laid a complaint against Garlepp.

His coat was covered in mud, and the left side of his face was cut, and blood was running from it.

The defendant was fined 10s, with 15s 6d costs, and 5s damages was awarded. Garlepp was also charged with an assault ou Brown on 11th July, in the billiard room of the Bay View Hotel, but in this case the bench decided to dismiss the case.

Rage against the washing machine

By Stuart McCullough Most appliances are harmless. A toaster would gladly be your best friend given the chance. In fact, if you were to unexpectedly become a hobo at short notice and set off on a cross continental journey carrying nothing but a swag and a water bottle, a toaster would happily trail behind and keep you company the entire way.

Or it would, at least, if it had legs.

A food processor can’t do enough for you. It’s practically falling over itself just to help out. Televisions are just like windows but better. Kettles hold the unique distinction of being the most yin and yang of all appliances in that they boil water and yet simultaneously soothe the soul.

But there is one household white good that should not be trusted. When it comes to this particular piece of domestic hardware, never let it near the steak knives and avoid turning your back on it at all costs. It’s mean and angry and will never be your friend.

I speak, of course, of the washing machine.

It’s the Incredible Hulk of appliances. It sits there, all harmless and inert until forced to do its job at which point it becomes unspeakably angry.

It starts slowly with little more than a gentle whir; like a merry go-round for your clothes.

But before you know it, the whole contraption works itself up into a writhing, foot-stomping tizz that falls just short of a somersault as it goes flat-out berserk. It’s as though it’s throwing a spectacular tantrum that would surely earn it a spell in time out were it not for the fact that it was already in the least attractive room in the house.

PAGE 28

Frankston Times 28 July 2014

It’s as though it’s trying to have its way and is eternally annoyed at the fact that it has to wash dirty clothes whilst other appliances get all the glamour jobs.

At Tyabb, the washing machine was

bigger than the first car I owned. It also had a greater top speed. Given that it had to deal with the dirty clothes of seven people, it had a lot to be angry about. The laundry was (and still is) just near the dining room

table and it was not unusual for us to be working our way through a plate of meat and three vege only to be interrupted by a sound that resembled Dorothy’s Tin Man stuck on ‘The Gravitron’ and trying to squash a mouse. When it got really worked up, it made a shrieking sound reminiscent of the shower scene from Psycho.

Plates would tremble and peas would leap from forks in search of safety as an avalanche of sound that gave the impression that hell’s own portal had just been prised open filled the house. To hear it, you’d think it was the apocalypse rather than just the spin cycle.

More than just wail and scream, our machine made frequent attempts to escape. It never succeeded. It must be said that it’s not easy getting over the razor wire and past the guard dogs when you’re chock-full to the brim with school uniforms and PE gear.

Not that our machine didn’t give it a pretty good try.

It was a common occurrence to find that it had broken loose from its moorings and was pressed up against the door. Sadly, though it travelled the length of the laundry, it never went any further. It’s the curse of not having hands, I guess. The poor thing was probably hoping for the day one of us accidently left the door open and it could, once and for all, makes it break for freedom.

Maybe that’s the problem. Perhaps washing machines don’t have severe anger management issues so much as they simply long to be free. It doesn’t seem too much to hope for. Besides, they’re always in the worst spot in the house. Sometimes, they don’t even get a room to themselves. I once lived

in an apartment that had a so-called ‘European laundry’. As it turns out, ‘European laundry’ is an especially fancy way of saying ‘cupboard’. Or, to those of you who’ve ever rented in the metropolitan area, a ‘studio apartment for an affordable budget’.

For decades, humankind has contemplated what the world might be like if apes were to rise up and conquer human civilisation as we know it. It’s a question first posed by Pierre Boulle’s novel, ‘La Planete des Singes’, which was later turned into the movie ‘Flashdance’.

But the same book was also the basis for the film starring Charlton Heston, ‘The Planet of the Apes’. To this day, it’s a theme that continues to fascinate people. But the real question is this: who’s to say that monkeys pose the biggest risk? Unless you’re Michael Jackson (and, let’s face it, who is?) primates don’t live inside your house. Apes don’t know you so well that they’re intimate with all your dirty laundry. Washing machines, on the other hand... If you think about it, the threat is clear – washing machines are preparing to attack.

The day when both front and top loaders alike rise up against their human captors cannot be far away.

That’s why we need to get in first.

People get hysterical about free-range eggs, never realising they’re holding someone hostage. The time is now. I say we should set our washing machines free. To let them throw off the yoke of servitude so they can roam in packs over the open plains. It’s a delicate matter, but these machines have a cycle for ‘delicates’. Go, dear machine; go and be free. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Performance NEXT month Shock Entertainment will release Thick as a Brick – Live in Iceland by Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson on 2CD, DVD and Blu-ray.

This is the first release for the combined Thick as a Brick and Thick as a Brick 2 and it offers a superb presentation of the complete presentation of the complete story of Gerald Bostock.

Thick as a Brick was originally released in 1972, when it made No.1 on the ARIA Chart. Jethro Tull was the brainchild of Ian Anderson, who played flute and sang while standing on one leg.

When they formed in 1967 they had the folk sound, some jazz and the blues.

Jethro Tull was a unique phenomenon in popular music gaining 11 gold and five platinum albums. Many Australian rock music critics rarely took them seriously, and they were off the cutting edge. Not one record store in the country would be without copies of ‘Thick as a Brick’ Jethro Tull was Ian Anderson (vocals, flute), Mick Abrahams (guitar), Glen Cornick (Bass) and Clive Bunker (Drums).

The album still holds up more than 30 years later as does ‘Living in the Past’ and ‘A Passion Play’. Ian Anderson’s profile has rarely been higher following the very successful release of his new solo album Home Erraticus this year and Anderson will tour Australia and appear in Melbourne, December 15.

Details www.jethrotull.com *** ENTRY is now open for the 36th Toyota Star Maker – Australia’s longest running search for a new country music star. Star Maker has been a crucial launching pad for some of Australia’s biggest country music stars including Keith Urban, Lee Kernagahn, James Blundell, Beccy Cole, Lyn Bowtell and Kylie Sackley.

In 2015 competition will be as tough as ever following the outstanding commitment from recent winners Luke Austen, Luke Dickens, Bob Corbett and Kaylee Bell who have all grabbed the prize and haven’t stopped running.

Barry Harley said “Star Maker is Australia’s most prestigious search for a country music star which boasts winners with international roots and appeal.

Keith Urban (1990), Craig Robertson (1989) and Kaylee Bell (2013) were born in New Zealand and this year’s winner Jared Porter was born and lived in the USA for the first 11 years of his life. At 14 years he relocated with his mother to Orange, NSW where he was educated” www.starmaker.com.au *** FOLK Alliance Australia invites all people interested in the Australian Folk Music scene to attend this year’s Folk Alliance National Conference in Melbourne

Conference topics include: touring, media and promotion, management, financial and legal, funding, skills development, presentation, recording and distribution, networking, career development, getting gigs, event organisation skills and much more.

More info www.folkalliance.org.au/ conference or call 0403 192 631. *** TO celebrate 30 years as a solo artist, Jimmy Barnes is revisiting some of his biggest hits, collaborating with some of his favourite artists; Keith Urban, The Living End, John Farnham, Bernard Fanning, Shihad, Tina Arena, Baby Animals and Jon Stevens plus more.

The album also includes brand new recordings of ‘Working Class Man’, which sees Jimmy reunited with the song’s writer, Journey’s Jonathan Cain, as well as ‘Ride the Night Away’, featuring the song’s co-writer Little Steven Van Zandt from the E Street Band.

Produced by Kevin Shirley (Cold Chisel, Silverchair, Aerosmith), the 30/30 album not only celebrates the phenomenal career to date of one of Australia’s foremost musicians but also illustrates Jimmy’s continuing relevance within the contemporary Australian music scene, both as a recording and a touring artist.

In celebration of his 30th Anniversary Jimmy Barnes will be embarking on a tour later this year, playing a select number of A Day on the Green wineries nationally, with full details to be announced soon.

30/30 Anniversary album (Liberation) is due out August 29.

Jimmy will appear at Mt Duneed Estate, Geelong Saturday November 15th, Michelton Wines, Nagambie Saturday December 13 and Rochford Wines, Coldstream on Saturday December 20 with special guests including The Living End, Mahalia Barnes, Troy CassarDaley, Baby Animals, Ian Moss, Nick Barker and You Am l.

30/30 Anniversary album (Liberation) is out August 29th.

Before the Global Financial Crisis we were inundated with financial geniuses telling us how to make money: Superannuation, term deposits, property, shares. Crash! The culprits scurried underground, blamed others, allowing us the benefit of getting rid of them for a time. They’re back like mushrooms, and suddenly everyone’s an expert again.

Perhaps a Club for financial advisers and football experts? Imagine, each evening, after another day of serving up tripe, continuing said tripe amongst themselves. *** I TOOK part in a survey of home owners; our thoughts on borrowing from banks whereby we don’t pay them back until we die. Ten of us; coffee, biscuits, $40. Eight of them had financial advisors worn as a badge of common sense?

The world may well be “waiting for the sunrise” but in financial terms it’s a bridge too far (forever) for most of us.

The financial system (Murray enquiry) and the quality of the financial advice is being undermined by conflicted remuneration structures. *** ARE we being brainwashed? I really don’t know, but I cannot help wondering as to the slant of news reports on the fighting (Israeli bombardment, Hamas tunnels) in Gaza. Channel 9 highlighted some 15 Israeli soldiers killed and

barely mentioned a total of 350 deaths.

SBS later showed film of some 2000 injured on the Palestinian side. Our Foreign Minister speaks high and mighty, rightly, about the MH17 disaster, without mention of the Gaza tragedies. Sore thumb? *** NATHAN Buckley’s rat pack a far cry from the talented long serving pack he kicked out. “We didn’t see this coming” said Bucks. “It’s got nothing to do with personnel, it’s got a lot to do with how we execute and the way we play.

There’s a focus on our forward line, and we could definitely score heavier, but it’s not about who, it’s about how we go about it and how we move the ball.

We haven’t controlled field position as much because our defence hasn’t been as effective, and we’ve turned the ball over when we shouldn’t” Double dutch, or words of wisdom from master coach Nathan Buckley? Don’t wait to be told mate; you need palmolive gold, now. *** “ONCE upon a time in Punchbowl” and the Cronulla beach riots (SBS) witnessed many Australians putting their stupidity literally on show for the cameras, inspired to some extent by the likes of Alan Jones, Andrew Bolt and others.

John Howard said “I do not accept that there is underlying racism in this country” surely tongue in cheek. The major-

ity of Australians are indeed rascist, as evidenced by both political parties policies on boat people. Again I ask “Who discovered the boat?” *** SAYS our man Greg Hunt “we were voted in with a clear mandate to repeal the carbon tax” or was it because the majority decided they’d had enough of the Labor party? What is it with this “mandate” word, used in a sense of self-righteousness for the boats and the carbon tax yet conveniently ignored for pension cuts, health, education and other shifties; in fact no mandates? One wonders what transpires at their meetings to think we would fall for this word as and when it suits them, until one reads the daily baa baa letters in that morning newspaper.

Loved the carbon tax bit where they said it would be good for small business. Sadly most small business owners have been falling for this con all my life.

Surely a sense of importance but missing the small print? National interest be blowed. Live and let live? *** LEAVE my mate Woody Allen alone.

He married his step-daughter; big deal.

What’s that got to do with whether or not you go see his films? If we apply this rule we would never see another film.

If we were really honest with ourselves (highly unlikely) we would banish all mirrors from our home. Old sins cast

By Gary Turner

www.jimmybarnes.com *** OSCAR winning director Ron Howard will make a new documentary about the Beatles’ touring years, with the backing of their music label Apple.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are giving their full co-operation to the movie, as are John Lennon and George Harrison’s widows.

The film will tell the band’s story from the Cavern Club through the Ed Sullivan show to Beatlemania.

Howard won the Academy Award for Best Director for the film A Beautiful Mind. He also directed Cinderella Man and Rush. *** ROCK legends Pink Floyd are set to release a new album The Endless River in October, their first for 20 years.

The news came from author, Polly Samson, who is married to the band’s David Gilmour, and has previously written lyrics for the band.

Their album ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ (1973) was a favourite album of mine.

The album was a carefully constructed cycle of songs with deep meaning. The band embraced all that technology had to offer, especially synthesizers and saxophone.

The band met as students all studying architecture in London in 1965.

Pink Floyd came from Georgia bluesmen Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

Syd Barrett formed the band with Roger Waters and Barrett determined the musical direction the band took but when he Barrett left the band in 1968, Roger took over the songwriting and the musical direction.

Dark Side of the Moon became one of the highest selling rock albums of all time. In 1979 they released The Wall, a concept album which was made into a movie by Bob Geldof. www.pinkfloyd. com

A Grain of Salt SEIZE the day! That’s what he said. A departing inspirational comment? How about “Have a nice day” or “cheerio”?

He bullocked off to seize his frivolous day. I was at the cafe, coffee, reading, MMOB. I drifted back; the late 50’s.

The open fields of green surrounded by friends, acquaintances, sunflowers, daffodils and old people. Swings, slides, running and tennis balls, the Merri Creek, tadpoles, the tip. Mucking around. No fields now, big trees, apartments, surrounding me. Walking is difficult. Hard to seize the coffee cup let alone the bloody day. Maybe go backwards; is there an App to go backwards?

The brain’s still working, just. See a doctor, antibiotics for the back; miracle drug guaranteed to bring on diarrhea. Bloody forest. Snakes everywhere; huntsman, politicians, crooks. Mates, Gary and Jack, Lawrie, Nancy, lovely Dianna, all to lah lah land. A day at a time, an hour, a bloody minute. Seizing be damned.

Back to my newspaper. *** PRIME Minister Tony “I don’t believe any thinking Australian would want us to capitulate to moral blackmail” referring to self-harm among women on Christmas Island? Leaving aside the moral blackmail nonsense is he suggesting if you disagree you’re not a thinker?

I wonder if Putin is a thinking Russian? ***

By Cliff Ellen long shadows. *** “THEY seek him here, they seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven or is he in hell?

That demned elusive Pimpernel” Billy Boy Shorten? Or is he giving the Coalition enough rope? *** IF Joe Hockey is an “average Joe” (Good Weekend, The Age) I’m Rumpelstiltskin...So many birthdays in July?

October, the month of the birds and bees?...The repeal of the carbon tax will save me $550 a year, and behold, I’m now Snowy on the trams...Downtown Rye-beautiful one day, Antarctica the next...Essendon thrashes Collingwood and a form of fascism marches on, in Canberra.....”I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion” [Alexander the Great]...hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond. com

Speaking to your children about horrific world events

By Angela Kelly OUR world at the moment is far from a peaceful place. We read each day of the heartbreak of lost lives and broken families as the tragedy unfolds of the downed MH17 over Ukraine farmland. This loss of life coupled with the horrific stories from the Israel-Gaza conflict have profound effects on our children due to the extensive media coverage that has become so prevalent in our world. The 24-hour news coverage results in graphic and immediate images of these and other major national or world calamities being broadcast into our homes. My concern is that these confronting images, viewed in the safe haven of our homes, impact on the hearts and minds of our children witnessing these types of graphic events.

Large-scale tragedies can be extremely disturbing to children, who thrive on predictability and security. When exposed to these catastrophic events through the media, children often display fears and anxieties. Usually, these reactions are normal; however, without proper assurance, the impact of events can remain with children for a long time, even throughout their lives. With the appropriate support and guidance, however, children can become resilient and strong in dealing with issues and this can ready themselves for their unknown life circumstances throughout their futures.

At these times when your children are showing outward signs of distress, it is important as parents

to be able to understand and ease your children’s fears and concerns. It is important to express your love a little more than usual and be available as much as possible to them. Your children are greatly influenced by your

reactions and if you can remain calm and speak to them about your own feelings this is a great comfort. The most important thing for your children at these times of crisis is the opportunity to express thoughts and feelings. Answering

their questions in the most honest way you can is always going to be the best possible response for them. Teach your children that people do harmful things, but being violent or killing people is never acceptable. And it is impor-

tant to offer them hope about their world and to encourage them to see the good things in their own lives and to remind them of the love that surrounds them within their family, their extended family and their friends.

Eagles swoop late to beat Dogs PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt Edithvale-Aspendale is four points clear of Bonbeach and Mornington in second place on the Peninsula League ladder after coming from behind to beat the Dogs on Saturday.

The reigning premier now has 11 wins from 14 matches, while the Sharks and Dogs are a further game back.

Frankston YCW maintained its position at the top of the Peninsula League ladder after beating Seaford.

They are a game clear of Edithvale (12 wins and two losses).

The fight for fifth place continues, although Mt Eliza now is a game clear of Langwarrin.

The Redlegs will finish at least two games clear of the Kangas by season’s end with games against Karingal and Seaford to come in the final four rounds.

Langwarrin has Seaford this week but finishes with Edithvale, Mornington and Frankston YCW. The big game on Saturday though was that between the Eagles and the Dogs at Regent Park.

Edithvale got away to a flier and led by 23 points at quarter time and extended that to 24 points at the long interval.

Mornington came out firing in the third quarter, booted 4.4 to four behinds and scores were locked

together at the final change.

By the halfway mark of the last quarter, the Doggies had edged their way in front by seven points and looked the stronger of the two teams.

However, the Eagles found an extra gear in the final 15 minutes of the match, kicked the next four goals and recorded an 11.14 (80) to 9.14 (68) victory.

Teenage star Darcy Warke was superb for the Eagles with two goals and a dominant display, while Todd Woodbridge, who had spent a couple of weeks in the twos, stood up most when it counted in the last quarter.

Adam Budge had also missed a few games and he kicked a very important goal in the last quarter to put the Eagles in front.

Eagles’ coach Troy Shannon said it was another important victory.

“You have to beat the best sides in the competition if you want to achieve what you want out of a season,” said Shannon.

“We should have put them away in the first quarter but we just didn’t convert our opportunities. Instead of being four goals up, I thought we should have been six or seven in front.

“I was pleased with our ability to be able to get going again when the game was on the line.

“They (Mornington) had all the momentum and we were able to get

that back. Even more pleasing was it wasn’t the same old players that got us out of a hole.

“It was guys who have struggled of late, got another opportunity and really grabbed it.”

Shannon said Mornington was a “very good side”.

“Mornington has a never-saydie attitude and that’s a really good trait to have as a footy side,” said Shannon.

“I’d like to think that we are a bit the same and it was two teams having a real crack.

“They have a great blend of bigs, smalls, experience and youth and they are going to be good for a while.

“I think the bigger decks will suit them better too,” said Shannon.

Dale Nolan booted four majors for the Doggies and was among his side’s best, while Chris Paxino and Jai Haddock were outstanding.

Bonbeach bounced back from a horrible defeat last week to easily account for Langwarrin.

The Sharks got away to a wobbly start and were outplayed by the Kangas in the first quarter, however, took advantage of their limited opportunities and went in at the first break ten points up.

By half time, the game was over with the Sharks leading by 40 points.

Langwarrin rallied in the second half; however, it wasn’t enough to

bridge the gap, going down 14.10 (94) to 8.9 (57).

Corey McQueen booted three goals for the Sharks while the stars including Ricky Ferraro, Shane McDonald, Anthony Raso, Paul Rebeschini, Dylan Jones and Jackson Casey all dominated.

Nick Tuddenham was again in the best for the Kangas in only his fourth game, while usual campaigners in Dan Wehner, Michael Parker and Jarryd Amalfi worked tirelessly.

Once again, it has been proven that the Kangas are a long way off the top four sides of the competition.

Mt Eliza replaced Langwarrin in the top five after smashing Chelsea to the tune of 63 points.

The Redlegs took control of the match early and extended their lead at every change, winning 20.7 (127) to 9.10 (64).

Scott Lockwood booted five goals while Benny Lean played his best game for some time with four majors.

Bryce Hayes and Zallec White aren’t names we know a lot about but they too were dominant for the Redlegs on Saturday, as were seasoned campaigners Darren Booth and Rohan Heasley.

Robbie Lancaster and Todd Gardiner were the best of the Gulls, as was Jason Clark, who rarely plays a bad game.

Pines took a while to shake off Karingal on Saturday but still managed to get the four points, winning 10.14 (74) to 4.16 (40).

Guy and Beau Hendry booted five goals between them while Jamie Messina and Adam Ludewig dominated.

Scores were locked at 4.8 (32) apiece at half time before the Pythons booted 6.6 to eight behinds after the break.

George Angelopolous was the Bulls’ best with two goals while Michael Burke and Aaron Paxton also worked hard.

In the final game, Frankston YCW worked over Seaford, winning 14.15 (99) to 6.9 (45).

The Tigers did well to go with the Stonecats in the first half with only 12 points separating the sides at the break.

However, with Kyle Hutchison and Jai Coghlan celebrating milestone games, the Stonecats turned up the heat after the long break and dominated the next hour.

Byron and Anthony Barry were outstanding in the win, while Riley Hodson and Craig Nankervis were also dominant.

Aaron Walton booted two goals and was Seaford’s best, while Brad Doyle and Josh Stokes were also among the votes.

Violence mars games FRANKSTON YCW Football Club launched an investigation into an incident that saw Josh Westerman left unconscious, carried from the ground and taken away by ambulance, in their match against Bonbeach two weeks ago.

There is video of the incident.

Despite three field umpires, goal umpires and boundary umpires, a report was not made in the incident.

A melee followed the incident and in the melee, Bonbeach defender Jason Ferraro was sent from the field. He was not reported.

It is alleged that Ferraro was the player involved in the Westerman incident.

Bonbeach has also launched an investigation into Frankston YCW crowd behaviour at half time and three quarter time.

The incident saw MPNFL Legend Kenny Sole, who has a son Jackson running around with the Sharks, assaulted by members of the crowd.

It is believed that police charges will be laid in both incidents.

500th up for Ryan

MPNFL star and Pines coach Steve Ryan played his 500th game on Saturday.

Ryan, who played AFL with Richmond and Collingwood, was a premiership player at Pines and a premiership coach at Rye. As well as 500 games, he has kicked more than 770 goals.

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard

The Magpies are the real deal The Pies booted the first four goals of the game before the Tigers had entered their attacking 50.

Crib Point went into the match without Glenn Boyd for the second week, which saw Luke Herrington and Jon Flack swapping between full forward and on the ball. Both finished with four goals and they were instrumental in the win.

Brad Davidson also lit the place up, as he so often does, with a couple of clever goals. He too finished with four, while the domination of James Cook in the ruck was instrumental.

Cook was wonderful at the centre bounces and around the ground. He beat three opponents in Baldwin, McGrath and Gaertner. McGrath went off the ground in the second quarter with what appeared to be a shoulder injury. He didn’t come back on.

The undersized Crib Point defence was superb also. Dean Warry, Matt Sloper and Zac Dekluever all gave away height but they couldn’t be matched at ground level.

The Magpies’ style was to bring the ball to ground, run, spread and ‘blowup’ the Dromana opposition. It was also a case of play-on at all costs.

The Pies have backed their fitness all season and while Dromana appeared to be running them down in the last, it was Crib Point’s running game that saw them kick two goals to seal the game.

Dromana lacked system going forward and while the coach was pulling his hair out on the sidelines

NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt CRIB POINT proved once and for all on Saturday that it is a genuine premiership contender after knocking over Dromana for the second time this season.

The Magpies answered everything that the reigning premier threw at them on Saturday at Crib Point Reserve before hanging on to win another thriller, 17.6 (108) to 14.19 (103).

The first time the sides met, Crib Point kicked the last goal of the game to win by one point.

Now, looking at the scoreboard, it would appear that the Tigers squandered opportunities and probably deserved to win.

However, it couldn’t be further from the truth. The Tigers did squander opportunities in front of goal, however they certainly didn’t deserve to win the game.

Crib Point was clearly the better team over four quarters and followed instructions to the letter.

Dromana didn’t seem to listen to a lot of what coach Doug Koop had told them and the result was their third straight loss.

Every time the Tigers challenged the home team on Saturday, the Magpies were able to respond with a couple of goals of their own to regain the gap.

Crib Point led at every change and Dromana didn’t hit the front once in the contest. The closest they got was within two points in the last quarter.

need to put him on ice now until finals.

Teenager James Doria made it five goals in two senior matches with another two while Pat Boland and Brian Wapshott were outstanding.

Pearcedale led Somerville all day on Saturday until it mattered most, the final siren.

The Eagles booted 3.5 to one behind in the final quarter to win 13.12 (90) to 11.12 (78).

Adrian Ridout was the difference between the sides with six goals for the Eagles, while Justin Farrelly was outstanding in the ruck.

Pat Heijden was great for the Panthers with four goals and Pat Cadd and Chris Fortnam flew the flag for four quarters also.

In the final game, despite resting six top liners, Red Hill managed an 18.20 (128) to 2.8 (20) win against Tyabb.

The Yabbies were held goalless until the final quarter.

The Hillmen went into the game without the likes of Dan McNamara, Michael Mock, Josh Mold, Jarryd Eames and Sean Holmes.

It mattered little as the Hillmen had 18 scoring shots in the first half and 20 scoring shots in the second hour.

Jarryd Douglas finished with seven for the winners while Jake Mold and Marcus Dal Lago were also fine contributors.

Justin Volk was Tyabb’s best, while Tyson Sparkes continues to impress.

Adrian Clay, Nick Taranto and the more experienced Ash Souter and Craig Conlan worked tirelessly also.

consistency of late.

Grant Masterson and Mick Haddad were both in the reserves, as was Mick Agnello, who was dropped after announcing his retirement before the Rosebud match.

Rosebud’s season is also finished after it went down to Sorrento by six goals.

The Buds were held goalless in the first half, however, booted six goals to five in the second half to go down 6.6 (42) to 12.6 (78).

Leigh Poholke and James Hallahan booted three each for the Sharks.

Hallahan was the best player on the ground, while Dave Lawson and Tyrren Head were also at the top of their game.

Tom Baker was his team’s best while Dan Hickey play a great game against his old side.

A big wasted season for the Buds, while Sorrento now seems to be motoring towards finals.

Rye is also starting to motor and sured-up a place in the finals with a 13.15 (93) to 6.9 (45) win against Devon Meadows.

Panthers’ coach Brent Clinnick announced his resignation through the week, however, it wasn’t enough to spur his team to an unlikely win.

The Demons kicked away early and stretched their lead at every change.

Aaron Findlay was a handful with four goals while Ben Cain and Leigh Morse were also very good performers.

For the second time this season, Adam Kirkwood tore his hamstring. They

because his forwards kept leading wide, it made little difference.

There were four players that kept Dromana in the contest. Paul Minchington was clearly his team’s best player in the middle, Call Park was extremely good, Christian Ongarello gave great drive from half back and Terry Wheeler was dominant.

There just wasn’t enough support from anyone else.

Dromana will get back Michael Falconer and Ash Waterstone this week, while Andy Kiely is another two weeks away. Stuart Cleave (shoulder) is also a chance to play before finals, although it is considered doubtful.

The Magpies should get back Boyd in the next couple of weeks and Aaron Murray would be a wonderful inclusion into this footy team.

Hastings season is finished after being beaten by Frankston Bombers on Saturday.

To say the Blues have been disappointing this season would be an understatement.

On Saturday, Hastings was beaten by a team that was more committed, desperate and unified.

At no stage were they really in the contest and the scoreboard of 10.10 (70) to 7.9 (51) reflected that.

James Degenhardt was outstanding again for the Bombers while Corey Micari and Mitch Bosward were also in fine form.

Taylor Stratton was again the Blues’ best, while Luke Hewitt and Steve Charalambous have found some
