Dozens dead from drugs

The report showed that Frankston was among the local government areas most impacted by drug-related deaths.

NEARLY 30 people died from drug use in the Frankston municipality between 2020 and 2021, a newly released report has found.

Last week, the state government finally released a report into a proposed medically supervised injecting service in the City of Melbourne. The report, undertaken by former Victoria Police commissioner Ken Lay, was handed to the state government in May 2023.

There were 29 drug-related deaths in the Frankston LGA between 2020 and 2021 - just eight of Victoria’s 79 municipalities had more drug deaths during that time period. The City of Melbourne, the worst affected, had 54. Six of the drugrelated deaths in Frankston between 2020 and 2021 were heroin-related. The final report recommended establishing an injecting facility in the City of Melbourne. The state government has ignored that recommendation.

The report did not assess the possibility of an injecting facility in Frankston. In response to a National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre report released in 2022, Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said the state government had “no plans” to open such a facility in Frankston (“No plans for safe injecting facility - MP” The Times 17/8/2022).

Although the state government has rejected the Melbourne injecting room proposal, it has committed to spending more money on pharmacotherapy treatment.

Private practices care for most patients

receiving pharmacotherapy treatment in Victoria. A Monash University study released in 2023 found that just 50 of Victoria’s 14,804 pharmacotherapy patients were in the public system.

The planned closure of the Frankston Healthcare Medical Centre earlier this year placed further stress on pharmacotherapy patients. The clinic provided pharamacotherapy treatment to around 400 patients weekly (“Drug treatment access a big problem” The Times 3/10/2023).

The state government has announced it will spend $8.4 million on pharmaco-

therapy treatment in up to 30 locations statewide through a new grant program. It has also committed to trialling the rollout of 20 Naloxone vending machines. Victorian mental health minister Ingrid Stitt said the spending will help 1500 more people access treatment. “Pharmacotherapy is the most effective treatment option available – we’ll boost it in up to 30 locations statewide, and we’ll trial a new pharmacotherapy treatment within a clinical setting in the CBD to divert people from the illicit drug market and give hope to the seriously addicted,” Stitt said.

New bus for Nepean Special School

NEPEAN Special School students were all smiles last week when they received a new bus. The coach was donated to the school by children’s charity Variety. It is the 189th coach donated by the charity since 1993.

The $200,000 coach has been modified to accommodate four wheelchairs. School principal Claire Toohey said it will help transport students and increase opportunities

“An extra coach means we can focus on transporting the students together with their peers, and utilise a trailer for equipment,” Toohey said.

“We have also reintroduced a community access program, and this new coach means we can send our secondary students out to their weekly VET sessions in the coach together.

“A Sunshine Coach would give our staff increased opportunity and flex-

ibility to get our students out and about in the community. Our school continues to grow and be the only school for students with physical disabilities in south-eastern Victoria.” The coach was presented to the students by ex-AFL player Brett Deledio.

Earlier this month, Nepean Special School was awarded a grant of nearly $500,000 by the federal government to upgrade its pathways.

By-election endorsement a ‘concern’

involving the FBC due to the independence of the organisation.”

MORE ratepayer money has been allocated to the Frankston Business Collective amid questions about the organisation’s political leanings.

The Frankston Business Collective is an independently-run business networking group launched by Frankston Council in 2022 to replace the defunct Chamber of Commerce. At their 22 April public meeting councillors agreed to pour more money into the organisation - council’s $60,000 annual commitment has been increased to $200,000 in its 2024/2025 draft budget.

Frankston Council voted to establish a new Frankston business chamber in late 2021 and spent $200,000 to get the Frankston Business Collective off the ground.

At the 22 April council meeting, questions were raised about the Frankston Business Collective CEO’s endorsement of the mayor Nathan Conroy during the Dunkley by-election campaign. Conroy took leave from council to unsuccesfully contest the by-election for the Liberals earlier this year - an endorsement from then-Frankston Business Collective CEO Jeff Rogut was prominently featured in his print campaign advertising.

Councillors Sue Baker and Brad Hill raised worries about the endorsement at the April meeting. Hill said “I’m particularly concerned about the lobbying for a political candidate that occurred earlier on at the by-election”.

“What I was looking for tonight was hardcore commitment that this wouldn’t reoccur, and I’m disappointed the question didn’t get an answer,” Hill said at last week’s council meeting.

The Times asked Conroy whether he declared a conflict of interest on the Business Collective matter at the meeting. He said “as noted in the council meeting on 22 April, there is no conflict of interest for any councillor regarding decisions

“The Frankston Business Collective (FBC) was established to be independent of Frankston City Council and has contact with all levels of government. The FBC has almost 200 members, supporting thousands of employees across Frankston City,” Conroy said.

Questions sent to Conroy asking when he approached Rogut for the endorsement went unanswered.

Jeff Rogut has left the FBC CEO role, and has been replaced by FBC vice-chair Bernadine Geary. Rogut was identified as the business group’s CEO in Conroy’s election material. Questions sent to the Business Collective were not answered by publication deadline.

Conroy’s printed election material, which ran in the Frankston Times, also featured endorsements from Bernadine Geary, former Frankston Citizen of the Year Trudy Poole, and fellow Frankston councillor David Asker.

Councillor Sue Baker asked the incoming Business Collective CEO about the endorsement at the April council meeting - Geary said it was an “unfortunate situation”, and later told councillors that the Collective is “bi-partisan”.

The extra funding for the Business Collective was included in Frankston Council’s draft budget, which has now been released for community consultation. Eight out of nine Frankston councilors voted to approve the draft budget, including Conroy. Sue Baker abstained from the vote.

Rate rise for residents

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

FRANKSTON ratepayers are facing an average rate increase of 2.75 per cent in the next financial year.

The rate increase, outlined in Frankston Council’s 2024/2025 draft budget, is the maximum allowed under the state government’s rate cap. The draft budget was approved by Frankston councillors at a meeting on 22 April, and is now out for community consultation.

The amount collected from ordinary rates is projected to increase by 2.43 percent. The amount collected from farm land rates and rateable recreational properties is expected to rise significantly.

Frankston Council projects a surplus of $14.21 million for 2024/2025, inclusive of capital grants from other levels of government. The budget prepared by council officers reads that the surplus will be “primarily used to fund the current and future capital works programs together with investment in initiatives to achieve the

council plan outcomes.”

Council has set a little more than $58 million aside for its major infrastructure projects in 2024/2025. The most significant of the spending includes $3.7 million for the Kananook Station car park, $3.2 million for the Seaford Child & Family Centre, and $3.15 million for the Langwarrin Child & Family Centre.

The budget featured a message from Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy. He said “building and enhancing our city while meeting community needs is at the heart of this budget and council

plan – that together with my fellow councillors, we continue to drive with a laser focus.”

“I’m looking forward to the completion of major projects including the $8.82 million Eric Bell Pavilion upgrade in Frankston North and the $6.5 million Lloyd Park Pavilion redevelopment at Langwarrin. Work is also underway to expand our kindergarten facilities, with the Integrated Children’s Centre at the Langwarrin Community Centre, and the redevelopment of Baden Powell kindergarten set to be completed in 2025,” he said.

“We’re also making significant investments in drainage, roads, footpaths and delivering projects for our community to feel safer, stronger, healthier, and more connected. This includes ongoing support for our highly valued libraries and the vital meals on wheels service.”

Public consultation will take place between 23 April and 20 May 2024. Council has scheduled a meeting to hear public submissions on 22 May, and is expected to adopt the budget on 3 June. To make a submission visit engage.frankston.vic.gov.au

Men arrested after crash

TWO men have been arrested after an alleged theft, assault, and car chase through Carrum Downs and Frankston last week.

Police allege that a group of people inside a stolen Mini Cooper stole petrol from McMahons Road in Frankston at around 10.30pm on 25 April. The group were involved in a theft and assault at a restaurant on Hall Road in Carrum Downs about half an hour later, police say.

Police say they spotted the car in Frankston at around midnight. They deployed stop sticks, but the car managed to evade them and drive onto Karingal Road.

The Mini Cooper allegedly drove on the wrong side of Karingal Road while police chased. Short-

Head injury mystery

POLICE have been called in to investigate after a man presented to Frankston Hospital with serious head injuries.

The man attended Frankston Hospital with head injuries at around 4.30pm on 20 April.

On 21 April, 7 News reported that the man was supposed to board a Frankston line train at Frankston Station to attend an AFL match when he was injured. The man may have been hurt somewhere along the Frankston line.

After presenting at Frankston the man was taken to the Alfred Hospital, where he was in a serious but stable condition last week.

In a statement Victoria Police said it has begun an investigation. The statement read that Victoria Police are “investigating to determine how the man sustained the injuries”.

Victoria Police has asked anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

ly afterwards it allegedly crashed head-on with a Hyundai sedan on Cranbourne-Frankston Road. A 23-year-old Frankston man and a 24-year-old Morwell man were arrested at around 12.30am. The Hyundai driver was taken to hospital.

Awards draw a big response

ARTIST Ian Hay has won the 2024 Rick Amor Drawing Award.

The awards are presented annually by the McClelland Gallery in Langwarrin. The winning piece will now be submitted into its collection.

More than 150 people applied for the award. Ian Hay was announced the winner last week.

Award judge Nick Mourtzakis said Hay’s drawing, titled …and somewhere else tomorrow “compresses and

measures its forms in quanta of square millimetres with a beautiful precision. The work is fraught with speculative and possible resolutions and seems to develop in an entirely improvised way toward an inevitable conclusion.”

“While representing diverse and varied approaches, the singular qualities that mark the drawings in the exhibition are the motivation and humane conviction to evoke significant meanings and confirm the life of the

emotions,” Mourtzakis said. “Drawing has its beginnings in prehistory and is in effect a powerful and natural antidote to the more delusional aspects of contemporary technology and culture.”

The award is named after Frankstonborn artist Rick Amor. $20,000 in prize money was on offer. The winning work and other finalists will be on display at McCelland Gallery until 21 July.

Family law reforms welcomed

CHANGES to parenting arrangements made through the legal system are set to come into effect next month.

From 6 May, reforms to family law will begin to be applied in the courts. Among the changes are a greater focus on child safety and the abolition of the presumption of equal shared parental responsibility. The reforms will also see prior family violence orders taken into greater consideration during the parenting arrangement process.

The Peninsula Community Legal Centre is a free legal service in Frankston, which includes family law within its services. PCLC CEO Jackie Galloway says the changes are “the result of years of advocacy by victim-survivors of family violence and organisations like ours who work with them.”

“Court data shows that in 2021 –2022 family violence was alleged in 80 percent of matters filed in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. 66 percent involved risk factors such as family violence, child abuse, mental health issues or drug, alcohol or substance abuse putting a child at risk. While issues of risk have long been considered, previously the language of “safety” was not used in the Family Law Act when it came to decisions about parenting,” Galloway said.

Galloway says that changes to “equal shared parental responsibil -

ity” orders are another significant part of the reforms. “By removing the word “equal”, the new reforms make it clearer that there is no parental entitlement to equal responsibility or equal time with children under Australian law,” she said. “Who will have parental responsibility is solely guided by what is in the best interests of the child, including safety, and is decided on a case-by-case basis.

“Most of the changes in the new law will come into effect on 6 May 2024. From then, the changes will apply to all new and existing parenting proceedings, except where the final hearing has already begun. So if you have a family law matter where the final hearing has not started before 6 May 2024, these laws will apply to you.”

The PCLC deals with family law more than any other area of law. To contact the PCLC visit pclc.org.au or phone 9783 3600.

SBS VICELAND, 8.35pm

Every pop culture phenomenon that enchanted a generation is bound to spawn a documentary or two – this incarnation is the latest in a handful (not including the parody The Meatrix, of course) that seeks to unpack and explore the cult hit starring Keanu Reeves (pictured right).

ABC TV, 9.20pm

Lushly set in the New Zealand goldfields of 1866, this miniseries is rich with disarmingly beautiful Kiwi scenery. The wealth of talent also dazzles: starring Bad Sisters’ Eve Hewson (she’s the daughter of U2’s Bono), Yesterday’s Himesh Patel and former Bond girl, French beauty Eva Green, the performances are grounded even when the story seems to fly into rather complicated territory.

Based on Eleanor Catton’s award-winning novel (she’s also the screenwriter), it’s an evocative six-parter that transports you to a gripping world involving ill-fated romance, murder, opium dens and fortune-telling.

Art to carry scientist ‘into the future’

SCIENTIST Hans Brunner, who helped exonerate Lindy Chamberlain, died last week on Thursday, 25 April.

A large portrait, that he has referred to as representing “the other me”, has been entered in this year’s Archibald Portrait Competition.

The 95-year-old sat for the portrait for Frankston South artist Lulu Clifton-Evans in a project she said was designed to portray his significant contribution to Australian culture, science and yodelling.

Brunner and Clifton-Evans met with the now Chamberlain-Creighton in a Melbourne hotel last October to show her the portrait of Brunner with a microscope and his book on animal hair analysis that was written years before she was charged with the murder of her baby Azaria at Uluru.

Brunner was found by lawyers for Chamberlain-Creighton and gave evidence in 1986.

He was able to prove with his scientific hair analysis that baby Azaria was taken by a dingo. It was previously thought hairs found were that of a cat, but Brunner conclusively proved they were of a dingo.

His story is documented in a 20-minute video called the Hans Brunner Portrait Story Part Two on YouTube which includes excerpts of his book The Identification of Mammalian Hair and other documents.

The video also features him yodelling with the Edelwyss Yodel Choir, his former employment with the Keith Turnbull Research Institute, then located in Frankston North, and his links with the Swiss Club of Victoria.

In the video Brunner describes his portrait as “a picture with a thousand words” that would contributie to his memory and the Lindy Chamberlain case.

A former colleague at the Keith Turnbull Research Institute, Dr Ron

Amor, worked with Brunner between 1970 to 1980.

“He was a good friend and very committed scientist and he was proud of the technical expertise he created,” Amor said.

Australian Swiss Cultural Society

PUZZLE ZONE

president Sylvia Hochuli said she had known Brunner - the man “with the golden voice” - for 60 years.

“His yodelling was admired by people both in Australia and Switzerland,” she said.

“He was a much-admired member

of the Swiss community because of that golden voice – even performing on television.”

Manuela Erb, honorary consul of the Swiss consulate in Melbourne, said Brunner was a respected and loved member in Melbourne’s Swiss community.

“Nothing quite captured our hearts as when Hans broke out in song and yodelled often quite unexpectedly,” she said. “His yodelling transported us back to our roots.”

A member of the Edelwyss Yodel Choir and the Swiss Club of Victoria, Chris Thalmann said Brunner was a perfectionist and a professional when it came to yodelling.

“Although Hans was the centrepiece of our choir he was always very unassuming,” he said.

“Hans was unusual in that he was so considerate of others in the choir even though he was the centre piece.”

Brunner attended a reunion of the Keith Turnbull Research Institute in Moorooduc late last year and delighted his colleagues with an impromptu yodel.

Brunner was also a table tennis player and a long time member of the Mornington Peninsula Table Tennis Association.

He was a member of many environmental organisations and fought for a number of environmental issues. One of his passions was fighting for the protection and survival of the endangered southern brown bandicoot.

In 2014 he was named Environmentalist of the Year by the Australian Wildlife Protection Council.

Railway Crossing Smash – Fatality at Somerville

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

A SHOCKING fatality occurred at the railway crossing, between Baxter and Somerville, on Monday night, when Mr. Alfred Field, 45, market gardener, of Mornington, was killed, and Mr. John Twyford, 60, an orchardist, of Somerville, was seriously injured in a collision between a goods train and a motor truck, in which they were travelling to the Melbourne market.

It appears that Field, who owns the motor truck, had been engaged by Twyford to convey a consignment of apples to Melbourne, ready for Tuesday’s market.

The engine, which it is said was travelling tender first, struck the motor truck with great force, carrying it along the line for over a hundred yards.

Upon examination it was found that Field was beyond aid, his skull being so badly fractured that death must have been instantaneous.

Twyford, it was found, had been jammed between the engine of the truck and the tender of the train.

Upon Drs. Bickart, of Somerville, and Maxwell, of Frankston, being summoned, and an examination made, it was found he had sustained a fractured thigh and severe head injuries. He was at once removed to a private hospital in a very critical condition.

The body of Field was also removed to Frankston, where the inquest will be held.

The injured man and the deceased were very highly respected, being well known on the Peninsula, and the deepest sympathy is felt for the relatives by the public generally.

The crossing where the fatality took

place used to be regarded as most dangerous. Some time back, however, steps were taken to remove a portion of a bank of earth which used to obstruct the vision.

Field leaves a widow and family of five children. ***

Bravery Recognised. Presentation of Medals

On Monday night, during the interval at the Picture Entertainment, held under the auspices of the Frankston Life Saving Society, medals were presented to Brian Lane, Colin Robison and Ray Coxall for gallantry displayed in saving life, at Frankston early in the present year.

There was a large attendance of the public, at the Frankston Palais, where the ceremony was performed, and the heroes of the occasion were accorded a great ovation as they stepped on to the stage, in answer to their names.

Ray Coxall was not present, but a younger brother represented him.

Lieut.–Colonel Lazarus, who made the presentation, said that the medals had been subscribed for by the citizens of Frankston, and it was appropriate that the presentation should take at a function organised by the Frankston Life Saving Society.

Cr. C. Gray, who had been deputised to make the presentation, was unable to be present, owing to an important engagement in Melbourne, and had asked him (the speaker) to act in his stead.

Lieut.-Colonel Lazarus said he was very proud to have such a pleasing duty to perform. Brian Lane and Colin Robison were the two heroes who rescued Miss Morgan from drowning

at Frankston in January last.

The gold medals recorded the details of the incident, and would serve a memento of a very courageous act.

The speaker said he had also been asked to present to both Messrs. Lane and Robison wallets of notes from the young lady herself and her parents (Loud applause.)

Lieut.–Colonel Lazarus announced that the two lads concerned were too modest to make a public response and they had requested him to thank everybody most sincerely. (Applause).

A call for Ray Coxall was not responded to.

Lieut.–Colonel Lazarus said the young fellow had rescued a man from drowning at Frankston at a spot between Kananook Creek and the pier.

A gold medal, suitably inscribed was handed to Master Claude Coxall behalf of his brother, amid great applause.

The Picture Palais, which had been generously hired to the Frankston Life Saving Club, on easy terms was well filled, although in the opinion Mr. Reg. Royle, the secretary of club, the attendance was not quite to expectations, considering that the object of the entertainment was to raise funds for such a worthy object such as the erection of a club house.

However, it is expected that a fairly substantial surplus will be shown.

***

THE Anzac Commemoration Service, held at Frankston, on Friday last, was wonderfully impressive.

The attendance was larger than in former years, and a pleasant and noteworthy feature was the large attendance of returned soldiers.

Mr. J. L. Pratt, president of the

Frankston Branch of the R.S.S.I.L.A., states that the returned men present numbered over 70.

Owing to unfavourable weather the service was held in the Palais, and the result was so entirely satisfactory that it is possible that open air services will not be persevered with in future.

The returned soldiers assembled at the Soldiers’ Hall, and marched to the Palais, and the High School Scholars also marched, under the direction of the head master, Mr. Chapman.

The Prime Minister, Mr. Bruce, and Mrs. Bruce attended the service, which was conducted by Captain Chaplain Hugh Jones.

The Frankston Brass Band, led by the bandmaster, Mr. Brine, led the singing, members of the combined church choirs also assisting.

On the platform, with the Captain Chaplain Jones, were the Revs. A. P. McFarlane (Anglican); A. E. Wellard (Methodist), and W. E. Watkins (Presbyterian).

The service opened with the uplifting notes of “All people that on earth do dwell,” after which Rev. A. P. McFarlane engaged in prayer in commemoration of the fallen.

The hymn, “Nearer My God to Thee” was sung. The Rev. A. E. Wellard read the 124th Psalm, and concluded with prayer.

After the Recessional was sung the address was given by Chaplain Captain Jones. He opened by referring to the presence of the Prime Minister, who was in attendance at great inconvenience to himself; as there were many calls upon him that day. They would all appreciate the fact that Mr. Bruce had found it possible to attend the

service.

Continuing, the rev. speaker said it was the first time since conducting these services at Frankston that he had not seen a single uniform. Perhaps the moths had been busy.

Referring to the occasion they were commemorating, the speaker said a double thought suggested itself – the part taken by man, and the part taken by God. The scriptural words seemed appropriate: “We went through fire and through water, but Thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.”

The men did their part, and God did His part. Providence was fighting for the Allies, and gave them the victory. A wonderful victory had been achieved, the fame and glory of which would continue as long as the Great God held the world in the hollow of his hand.

***

YESTERDAY ex-Sergeant Major Gamble, formerly of the Black Watch, visited Frankston.

He’s one hundred and three years and four months old, having been born in Paisley on the 12th of January, 1821.

Mr. Gamble, who retains all his faculties, is selling buttons to enable him to write the history of the Indian Mutiny, of which he took part, having carried the dispatches that brought about the relief of Lucknow.

He was also through the Crimean War, of which he carries the full medal. These are not carried by another living person. He also has the medal for the Mutiny (Central India), and the Rorke’s Drift Medal, South Africa 1879.

Mt Eliza wins on ANZAC Day, Bulldogs women win again

MPNFL

By Brodie Cowburn

MEN'S DIV ONE

MT Eliza picked up a big win over Mornington on ANZAC Day last week.

Alexandra Park hosted the ANZAC Day match on Thursday. After a close opening quarter, the Redlegs entered the first break with a 14-point lead. They put their foot on the accelerator in the second term and took a 33-point lead into half-time.

Mt Eliza continued to extend their lead as the game went on. They eventually claimed a dominant 81 point victory 7.10 (52) to 19.19 (133). The win put Mt Eliza top of the ladder. They are equal on points with four other teams - Dromana, Frankston YCW, Sorrento, and Red Hill.

Frankston YCW defeated Frankston Bombers by three goals on Saturday. The Stonecats got out to a big lead early and managed to hold off the fastfinishing Bombers.

Riley D’Arcy booted five goals for YCW.

Sorrento defeated Langwarrin by 15 points in a low-scoring match at Lloyd Park last weekend. Langwarrin fell to the Sharks 7.8 (50) to 9.11 (65).

Pines lost to Red Hill at home on Saturday 13.2 (80) to 16.10 (106). Dromana rounded out the winner’s list with a 15.11 (101) to 7.6 (48) win over Rosebud.

MEN'S DIV TWO

DEVON Meadows finished the weekend on top of the MPFNL Division Two ladder after a thumping victory over Karingal.

After a close first term, the Panthers took control of the contest. They went on to win by 65 points 16.14 (110) to 7.3 (45).

Patty Ryder booted four goals. Dean Kent, Jayden Sullivan, Dylan Gregson, and Toby Sinnema were also among the best.

Devon Meadows are now 4-0 to start the 2024 season. Hot on their heels are Chelsea, which is the only other undefeated team in the division.

Chelsea defeated Bonbeach with ease last Saturday. They bested the Sharks 17.16 (118) to 4.10 (34).

Crib Point and Edithvale-Aspendale each picked up nine-goal wins over Rye and Seaford respectively last weekend. Tyabb beat Hastings by 62 points, and Pearcedale beat Somerville by 37.

WOMEN'S DIV ONE

MORNINGTON stretched its winning streak to four games with a big victory over Pearcedale last weekend.

A six-goals-to-one first quarter put the game out of Pearcedale’s reach. They showed some fight in the third term to cut back the lead, but the Bulldogs ran away with it in the final quarter.

The undefeated Mornington Blue defeated Pearcedale 16.7 (103) to 2.8 (20).

Hayley Monk starred for Mornington - she scored five goals. Anna McGlade, Elizabeth Muir, Indigo Service Brown, and Eliza Snehotta kicked two goals each.

Earlier in the day at Alexandra Park, Mornington White were comprehensively beaten by Frankston.

Frankston was in control of the match from the first bounce. They ended up winning by 71 points 3.2 (20) to 13.13 (91).

Adele Kerley booted four goals for Frankston. Ella Hilton, Felicity Crank, and Jemma Radings were named among the best.

Right: The Stonecats clinched a win against Frankston Bombers, running out 18 point winners.

Investigation into on-field incident

AN incident during an MPFNL match between Karingal and Pearcedale earlier this month is being investigated.

During the match on 20 April, Karingal player Agape Patolo was sent off. It has now been alleged that during the incident, Patolo was targeted by racial abuse.

In a statement, Karingal FNC said that it has requested an investigation into the matter. “We want to assure you that this matter is being taken very seriously. An official investigation has been requested via the MPFNL Board which oversees the AFL South East to thoroughly

examine the incidents, gather all necessary information, and take appropriate actions,” the club said.

“Our priority is to ensure that for our people and community it remains a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, or background.”

The Pearcedale Football Netball Club took to social media to launch a passionate defence of its players.

In a statement the club said “since requesting the investigation on Monday, Pearcedale sponsors, executive committee members and players have been inundated with

threatening messages from supporters of the suspended Karingal player. It appears they are attempting to excuse/deflect from his violent actions by painting our club in a negative light. They made claims of racial vilification against our players and our officials which are completely refuted and unsubstantiated. Reports of racist comments from the large crowd are being investigated and taken seriously.” Pearcedale FNC’s post urged people to call the police if they were “receiving threats from supporters of the suspended player”.

Game abandoned at Mount Eliza

SOCCER

CHAOS

after Friday night’s controversial ending to the local team’s State 5 home game against Barton United.

The trigger for referee Farhad Sharif’s decision to abandon the contest was the dismissal of Mount Eliza’s Nickel Chand after an off-the-ball incident late in the first half.

Barton led 1-0 at the time and Mount Eliza head coach Alex Halikias was incensed at the red card decision.

Referee Sharif approached the home team’s bench and after an exchange with Halikias sent off the irate coach.

Sharif’s report claims that he was racially abused and threatened and it is believed that the onlookers included Football Victoria CEO Chris Pehlivanis and a referee’s inspector.

On Sunday rumour was rife that the local outfit had parted company with Halikias but president Justin Sheppard refused to confirm that the coach had left.

Sheppard praised Halikias for his work with the senior men’s program and said talks with him were ongoing so confusion reigned as we went to press.

“We haven’t made anything public and we obviously are still talking with Alex on the club’s position moving forward as we have been very happy with the progress of the team under him,” Sheppard said.

In other State 5 news Seaford United hammered Pakenham United 8-1 at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday to maintain its perfect record atop the ladder.

It’s scary to contemplate the possible scoreline had Seaford not been without injured Hayden Hicks, Wisey Barakzoi and Nathan Meade while Josh Vega was suspended and Jonas Harrasser only fit enough for the bench.

The opening goal was little more than a training run as Cory Osorio sent Naseer Mohammad motoring clear on the right and he squared it across goal for a Mike Nobbs tap-in.

Mohammad set up Nobbs for a second and Seaford led 2-0 at half-time.

The floodgates opened after the interval with Mohammad and Sam Luxford both bagging braces then a soft penalty to Pakenham was converted by Khoo Mohammadi.

Hicks sent Mitch Hawkins clear and his fine finish on the turn made it 7-1 before Jonas Harrasser sent Hicks through and he made no mistake with a trademark left-foot strike.

Rosebud was 2-0 down after 20 minutes but staged a stirring comeback to

beat Bunyip District 4-2 at Olympic Park on Saturday evening and continue its neck-and-neck title tussle with Seaford.

Rosebud’s fightback started 10 minutes before half-time via a superb interplay between Mark Pagliarulo and Barney Johnson with the latter scoring his fourth goal in five games.

Five minutes into the second period

Rosebud’s coaching staff made a triple change which included bringing on scoring legend Dave Greening.

Soon after it was 2-2 when the first of Frank Barrett’s three assists set up Caleb Davies to get his first for the club.

Chances were now coming thick and fast and the go-ahead goal came from Greening who finished well from a Barrett cross.

Rosebud’s nerves were settled by Greening’s third goal of the season when he chested down another Barrett cross then rifled in a left-foot rocket that sealed Bunyip’s fate.

Man-of-the-match Ethan Hunt was instrumental in controlling the midfield for Rosebud as the home side ran out a worthy winner.

Aspendale got back to winning ways with a 4-2 win in Saturday’s home clash with Mount Martha.

Mount Martha struck first when a defensive error in the 40th minute sent Harry Aylett clear and he made no mistake.

Aspendale hit back five minutes later through captain Matthew Bruce with a low shot from the edge of the box and

Sudoku and crossword solutions

it was 1-1 at half-time.

Bruce was again on target three minutes into the second half and shortly after completed his hat-trick.

Mount Martha substitute Jacob Platt capitalised on a goalmouth scramble to make it 3-2 and ushered in some nervous moments for the home team.

Until another substitute made his mark with Alec Bunn’s late goal settling the issue.

In VPL1 Langwarrin suffered its biggest loss of the season when it travelled to Tarneit and went down 7-0 to Western United on Sunday.

There was no way back for the visitors after going in 4-0 down at halftime.

On Tuesday head coach Jamie Skelly will take a young squad to Strathnaver Reserve to face FC Strathmore in the Dockerty Cup.

Big Lucas Portelli continues his recovery from a dislocated kneecap and is expected to be available later next month.

In State 1 Mornington drew 1-1 with visitor Malvern City despite the early dismissal of Ryan Paczkowski.

Zachariah Ahmad put Malvern ahead in the 37th minute before big Josh Heaton equalised nine minutes from time.

In State 2 Peninsula Strikers maintained their promotion push with a 4-2 away win over North Caulfield on Sunday.

The sides went in at half-time locked at 1-1.

Scorers for the local side were Tom Wood, Taylan Geylan, Riley Anderton

and substitute Noah Musso.

Skye United’s run of outs continued when it was convincingly beaten 5-2 at home by Berwick City on Friday night.

Skye’s goals came from Daniel Walsh and a Berwick own goal and Phil McGuinness’s side will go into this weekend’s derby with Strikers having lost four games in a row.

In State 3 Frankston Pines remains on the bottom of the ladder after Saturday’s 3-1 away loss to St Kilda.

Reshad Nahimzada scored for Pines.

In State 4 news Chelsea emerged a 3-2 victor after Saturday’s entertaining derby battle with Baxter at Baxter Park.

Baxter keeper Jarrod Nardino paid dearly when he missed an attempt to punch clear in the 18th minute.

The ball fell to talented teen Christian Murray who played it back into the goalmouth and James Stinson cheekily flicked it into goal with the side of his foot.

A minute later scores were level.

A long ball floated to the back post was headed back across goal to an unmarked Daniel Taylor and he headed in from point-blank range.

Chelsea regained the lead in the 24th minute in spectacular fashion when Nathan Boccari unleashed a dipping volley from 30 metres that beat a diving Nardino and nestled in the far corner.

Two minutes later a superb ball from Noah Green put Aleks Dukic in but his first-time strike was straight at Chelsea keeper Rhys Davies.

Murray set up Stinson in the 32nd minute but the league top scorer could only hit the side netting from close range.

Although Chelsea was clearly superior in the first half Baxter hit back in the 54th minute when Green’s long-range cross from the right sailed over Davies and into the top far corner.

Two minutes later Nardino pulled off a fine save from a one-on-one with Stinson but the classy English striker couldn’t be contained for much longer.

The winner came in the 65th minute when an Adam Bartosy corner was greeted by a bullet-like header from Stinson.

Nat Daher had come off the Baxter bench following Stinson’s goal and in the 76th minute was dragged to the ground inside the area by Chelsea’s Harry Parker but play was waved on.

Green and Chelsea captain Luke D’Alessandro clashed heads shortly after and play was held up for some time before D’Alessandro was stretchered off.

Chelsea was awaiting a medical update as we went to press.

Baxter featured new signing Dun-

can Mcpherson but Aaran Currie has stepped away from the sport and is unlikely to play against this season.

Mcpherson has only been in Australia for a couple of months and played for Yorkshire Main in the Central Midlands Alliance League.

He made a handful of appearances for Yarra Jets in State 4 East.

Somerville Eagles lost 5-4 away to Sandown Lions on Saturday evening.

Somerville failed to put the game to bed when it wasted chances to increase a 3-2 lead and was duly punished.

Alessio Izzo (2), Marcus Anastasiou and Tom Simmons scored for the Eagles.

Mentone lost 3-1 away to league leader Hampton Park United last weekend.

Marcus Spivey’s third goal of the season in the 82nd minute was a consolation effort for the visitors.
