Eight options for voters at election Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au WHEN voters head to the polls on 18 May, they will have eight candidates to choose from for the seat of Dunkley. Nominations for the federal election closed last week, with the final lineup now set. Sitting MP Chris Crewther will contest the seat for the Liberal Party. His slim margin is set to be tested by

Labor candidate Peta Murphy. The Greens will run Emily Green as their candidate. On the extreme opposite side of the political spectrum, farright senator Fraser Anning will run a candidate for the seat. Mr Anning, who was censured by the senate for racist remarks made in the wake of the Christchurch terror attack, established his own party last month and will run candidate Christopher James in the seat

of Dunkley. Both major parties have preferenced Mr James last on their how to vote cards. Elizabeth Johnston is named as the Animal Justice Party candidate, while Lachlan O’Connell will run for Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party. Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party have named Ronald Jean as their candidate, while Rise Up Australia Party have named Yvonne Gentle.

Independent candidate Spencer Porter had been campaigning for months, but announced on 23 April that he had “overlooked a part of the nomination process” and would not be on the ballot paper. Prime Minister Scott Morrison campaigned in a number of marginal Victorian electorates last week, but did not make an appearance in Dunkley. The seat has been in Liberal hands

since 1996 when Bruce Billson won it. After Mr Billson stepped down after 20 years as local MP, Chris Crewther was preselected to contest the 2016 election. Mr Crewther won that battle by defeating Labor candidate Peta Murphy, but suffered a big hit in the process. Mr Crewther’s 2016 win was a narrow one, as the margin closed to 1.43 per cent. Redistribution has closed that gap even further.

Tennis club funding not in the bank “investigate alternative options”. “Although council will investigate alternative options should federal and Victorian governments fail to deliver the $8.05 million required for the proposed Centenary Park facility, we believe the Frankston City community and broader region deserve better than a back-up plan. That is why we’ve committed $11 million of our own funding towards delivering this vital regional infrastructure project,” he said. “Should funding requirements be met, works will commence immediately in a sequenced rollout to house Frankston Tennis Club merged with Frankston East Tennis Club at Centenary Park as a priority before the joint tennis and gymnastics facility is constructed housing Bayside Gymnastics Club.” Frankston Tennis Club relocation subcommittee chairman John McGillivray said late last year that if the club was forced to move to Centenary Park without redevelopment taking place, it would be “basically the death of the Frankston Tennis Club.” (“Tennis clubs fears death without funds”, The Times, 5/11/18) State Liberal candidate Michael Lamb campaigned on the issue and promised cash for the project in the lead up to the state election. Ultimately he and his party lost by a wide margin. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke told a candidate’s forum in November 2018 to “watch this space” in regards to securing funding, but has not followed that up with an announcement.

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Council’s attempts to finance the rehoming of the Frankston Tennis Club at a redeveloped Centenary Park look to be coming up short, with no commitments for funding being made at state or federal level. The 127-year-old tennis club currently play on land next to Frankston Hospital. Peninsula Health bought out their lease for $3 million in 2017 to plan for future expansion of the hospital. Council have been advocating for funding into Centenary Park to rehome the club, but their cries have so far fallen on deaf ears. Council have committed $11 million to the project and are asking for matching commitments of $8.05 million each from the state and federal governments. The mayor Michael O’Reilly said “it is extremely frustrating and disappointing that despite these continued joint efforts, the federal and Victorian governments appear to be turning their back on the urgent need to find a new home for the Frankston Tennis Club to make way for the much needed $562 million upgrade to Frankston Hospital.” “Council has worked tirelessly alongside tennis and gymnastics clubs in advocating to federal and Victorian politicians and candidates from both major sides of politics in order to secure the vital funds needed to deliver a dedicated regional tennis and gymnastics facility at Centenary Park as a priority,” he said.

Game, set, match?: Frankston Council have pleaded for other levels of government to chip in for a new home for the Frankston Tennis Club, which is facing an uncertain future after they move from their current home by the hospital. Picture: Gary Sissons

“Council has on many occasions successfully partnered with federal and Victorian governments to deliver vital infrastructure projects that benefit our community. For this reason we are confident that a regional tennis and gymnastics facility can be achieved through a joint funding partnership. “I call on Chris Crewther and Peta Murphy to support their community by

urgently committing the $8.05 million contribution required by them ahead of the federal election. Additionally, I urge the Victorian government to fund an equal contribution of $8.05 million, a mere 1.5 per cent of the $562 million hospital expansion project.” Cr O’Reilly said the expensive Centenary Park redevelopment is required to help facilitate the rise in women

playing sports. The revamped centre would also home gymnastics facilities. “Frankston City sporting community deserves a regional facility with the ability to host elite tournaments and to further boost female participation in sport,” he said. If no party fronts up cash for the project, Cr O’Reilly said council would

Group raises awareness about miscarriage An independent voice for the community

We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper in Frankston City and on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

AN event to help spread information and raise awareness about miscarriage will be held at the Frankston Mechanics Hall on 5 May. Melissa King from non-for-profit Miscarriage Information Support Service said “MISS hopes to raise awareness of miscarriage, loss of a baby before 20 weeks of pregnancy, so that people can speak freely about any loss

they might have experienced, instead of being so taboo to speak about as it is currently.“ “MISS would like to help prevent mental health issues after miscarriage, by encouraging women and men to seek support as required, and to grieve the loss of their baby,” she said. “We are also hoping to raise awareness of a beautiful mural and memorial

rock at the Frankston Memorial Park, commemorating babies lost to miscarriage, stillbirth, and shortly after birth. Frankston City Council recently updated the plaque on the memorial rock next to the mural. This is a place where any person within the community can go to grieve after their baby loss.” More information about the event and tickets at miss.org.au.

PAYMENT

Second hard rubbish collection considered Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au RESIDENTS inconvenienced by the six month delay to Frankston Council’s hard rubbish collection service may soon face some relief, with council voting to explore the possibility of expanding their service to offer two free at call collections a year. Cr Colin Hampton moved the motion to have a report prepared by the CEO which will “look

at and evaluate the cost and feasibility to offering two free at-call hard rubbish collections per year.” The report is due to return to council by June 2019. He motion was unanimously agreed to. The vote was not to finalise the service but only to look into the financial feasibility of it. Frankston Council have been under fire for delaying their hard rubbish collection service. The collection usually begins in October, but was delayed last year and instead will begin in May.

Over 20 caught in road crackdown A POLICE operation to crack down on drink and drug driving over the easter long weekend has seen over 20 people across the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula areas land in hot water. Police conducted “operation nexus” over Easter, and conducted over 8000 breath tests in that time. 16 drink drivers were detected, and 9 drug drivers were caught. 246 people were pulled up for “various other offences”. Divisional Superintendent Adrian White said “April has been a tragic month for the area so far, with four people losing their lives on our roads. Five people have now died on our roads in 2019, the same as for the whole of 2018. We are trying to do everything we can to stop people killing themselves and others on our roads, but we need the whole community to get on board with us in this effort.”

Nine line up for Flinders Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au TWO sitting MPs are among the nine candidates contesting the seat of Flinders in Saturday 18 May federal election. Liberal Greg Hunt, who has held the seat for 18 years, is being opposed by former Liberal colleague now independent Julia Banks, the MP for Chisholm, as well as two other independents and five party-aligned candidates. Two candidates, Susie Beveridge and Reade Smith, are former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors. Candidates as they appear on the ballot paper: Harry Dreger, independent; James Persson, Animal Justice Party; Greg Hunt, Liberal; Reade Smith, Sustainable Australia; Josh Sinclair, Australian Labor Party; Nathan Lesslie, The Greens; Christine McShane, United Australia Party; Julia Banks, independent; and Susie Beveridge, independent. Flinders is regarded as being safe for the Liberals, with Mr Hunt winning the 2016 election with a seven per cent two-party preferred majority. However, the electorate boundaries have changed since the 2016 election and Flinders now

covers just the Mornington Peninsula and French Island; previously it included much of the Shire of Bass and Phillip Island. The redistribution notionally cut Mr Hunt’s margin from 7.8 per cent to a still-healthy seven per cent. Another factor may be Labor’s surprise win in last November’s state election of the state seat of Nepean, held for the Liberals for 14 years by outgoing MP Martin Dixon. The area covered by Nepean would have been seen as a stronghold for Mr Hunt. His Labor opponent, Josh Sinclair, was campaign manager for the now Labor MP for Nepean, Chris Brayne. Independent candidate Julia Banks will direct her preferences to the Labor Party ahead of the Liberals on her how to vote cards. Ms Banks, one of the three independents seeking election, left the Liberal Party last November accusing both major political parties of “bullying and intimidation” following the leadership turmoil that saw Scott Morrison appointed prime minister after the resignation of Malcolm Turnbull. Mr Hunt ran unsuccessfully deputy leader of the party and was a key supporter of Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton in his bid to take Mr Turnbull’s place.

Day to highlight plight of koalas ROSEBUD resident Dirk Jansen is organising events to highlight the plight of koalas on the Mornington Peninsula, including a koala day next month. “Many people are surprised to find out there are still koalas living on the peninsula,” he said. “There is something special about observing wild koalas in their natural habitat and residents and visitors are always delighted when a koala visits their backyard or is spotted on one of the many bush walks.” Mr Jansen said the peninsula’s small population of koalas has been declining rapidly. “Like everywhere else on the east coast of Australia, koalas face many challenges, such as habitat loss due to land clearing and climate change; vehicle strikes, disease and dog attacks,” he said. He said long-term residents are concerned at the lack of koala sightings in recent years, prompting fears that the remaining population is too small to be viable. A 2016 study by Deakin University found that koalas were not thriving on the peninsula, with no record of breeding. “Many old koala trees are being lost through removal and dieback, and parks and reserves are not connected well enough for animals to move from one reserve to another,” Mr Jansen said. Koalas are regularly sighted at Somers, Balnarring, Arthurs Seat State Park and Greens Bush, with occasional sightings at Mt Eliza, Mt Martha and Tyabb, Red Hill and around Flinders. The only place where koalas are not naturally found is on the Nepean Peninsula from Capel Sound to Portsea. Favourite trees for koalas are manna and swamp gums and messmates. Areas with mature trees are vital for the survival of koalas and other wildlife, such as sugar gliders, possums and many birds. Koalas are fussy eaters and it takes at least five years for young trees to grow tall

Details were discussed at a public meeting presided over by Cr Oates on Monday night when a large ladies committee was formed to deal with the catering and social part of the function. During the evening it is intended to present the Major with an illuminated address.

MONDAY, 28th APRIL, (Before Messrs C. G. V. Williams, (chairman), C. W. Grant. and W. J. Oates, J’s.P.) VACCINATION CASES. The following parents, were each fined 40s, in default distress, for fail-

ing to comply with the provisions of the Vaccination Act: G. Walker, Walter Seedsman, Raymond H. Aik, Harry Brasher, Robert H. Stephens, John Alexander Benson, Charles T. Iles. Senior-Const. Bray conducted the prosecution, and there was no appearance of any of the defendants. MURPHY V. MITCHELL. This was a claim in which J. C. Murphy, dairyman, Frankston, sued F. C. Mitchell, of Seaford, for the recovery of 17s 1d, representing an amount claimed to have been overpaid to the defendant. Mr Utber appeared for the plaintiff and the defendant conducted his own case. Plaintiff stated that late on the evening of the 15th March defendant called at his house and asked if witness could oblige him with a cheque for the milk. Witness replied in the affirmative, and defendant produced an account for £10 8s 6d, representing 835 quarts of milk at 11d per gal. Witness gave defendant a cheque for the amount set out in the account and did not discover till later that the calculation was incorrect. The proper amount was £9 11s 5d. On the following Wednesday witness saw defendant in Frankston and told him that a mistake had been made in the account. Defendant admitted the error and promised, to refund the 17s 1d if witness would post the account back to him. Witness saw defendant some days later in front of Keast’s store, and asked him to step over to the house and fix the matter up. Defendant replied that he was in a hurry and could not do so.

Later he remarked that if a man liked to pay a bill without first rectifying the mistakes he should take the consequences. Previous to this witness had given defendant a week’s notice to cease supplying as he was not satisfied with the quality of the milk. There were about three days to go when defendant said he wanted to be paid 1d extra. Witness told defendant to please himself. He (witness) refused to agree to pay the extra 1d. Cross-examined by defendant, the witness denied that he had offered the extra 1d to induce defendant to continue supplying. Corroborative evidence was tendered for the plaintiff. Defendant deposed that complainant was continually finding a fault with the quality of the milk. Mr Johnson, the Inspector, had inspected his place at Seaford and found nothing wrong. Witness told complainant that he would not supply him with any more milk, and complainant had urged him to carry on for an extra week. When complainant had spoken about an overpayment, witness asked him to send back the bill or a duplicate as a witness had rubbed his figures off the slate. Cross-examined by MrI Utber the witness said he kept his accounts on a slate; he did not keep books. The Bench gave a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the amount claimed, with 23s 6d costs. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 3 May 1919

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Operation Tofu Burger and Other Ill-Conceived Ideas By Stuart McCullough WHO knew? Until recently, ‘militant vegan’ was such a blatant contradiction in terms that the very notion seemed utterly inconceivable. What’s next? Pescatarian ninjas? Extremist piano tuners? Guerilla florists? There’s no telling where this madness take us. I’d wrongly assumed that all vegans were peace-loving, mung bean-chewing, hemp pants wearing peaceniks who, quite literally, wouldn’t hurt a fly and, in fact, if a fly was being hurt would most probably film the event and post it online in a bid to start some kind of campaign. Certainly not as the farm-raiding, farmer-harassing, intersection occupying human roadblocks of recent events. I know, I know. A handful of people hell bent on making a nuisance of themselves should, in no way, be considered representative of those who choose to embrace the vegan lifestyle. If you’re a vegan, then good for you. If you come over for dinner, I’m more than happy to cater to your needs. That’s because, whether for health, economic or ethical reasons, I completely respect the choice you’ve made. Ideally, those feelings would be mutual. I understand that sometimes people feel passionately and want to make a point. But it does it have to be so angry? Rage is swiftly becoming the default setting for public discourse. The more outraged you are, it seems, the more correct you must be. Suddenly, there’s no place for persuasion. To reason is considered unreasonable. Instead, it’s assertion over evidence. Shouting over dialogue. It’s crash or crash through. So while I appreciate

Hands up if you’ve received a letter from Peter McCullough: Japanese Emperor Hirohito died in 1989, before he was able to respond to Mr McCullough’s letter of complaint about the lack-lustre performance of his Nissan E-20.

that some things are worth getting worked up over, I personally have trouble accepting that ‘real milk versus almond milk’ should be one of those things. Perhaps it boils down to this: calling yourself an ‘activist’

30 April 2019

does not grant you the social license to behave like a dead-set dill. Being a militant vegan must be tough, though. To be surrounded by so much that offends you on a daily basis can only be maddening. Leather, meat

and cheese; it’s hard to go through life without running into them at some point. Even everyday expressions such as ‘there’s no point crying over spilt milk’ must be something of an affront if you think milking a cow constitutes institutional oppression. But does that really justify such a confrontational approach? It made me wonder - what kind of training is involved to become a militant vegan? Presumably the boots at boot camp are not made of leather. Cardboard shoes wouldn’t be acceptable either, given that it’d require the felling of trees at some point and synthetic materials are basically poison. Rather, I assume that everybody is barefoot. I strongly suspect there’s no physical training. I, for one, was not surprised that being a militant vegan involved standing in one spot and refusing to move as opposed to something more aerobically demanding. Charging across a field or parachuting out of an airplane is not the militant vegan way. It’s hard to know what they might have been thinking in terms of tactics. In blocking a major intersection at peak hour, what did they hope to achieve by making people late for work? It’s unlikely that anyone got to their office half an hour after their usual start time, suffering some serious stink eye from their colleagues and, as a result, decided to stop using animal products. It’s more likely that those affected by the action responded to the added stress of being late for work by comfort eating the kind of things that would make a militant vegan’s head explode with rage. Or maybe that’s just me.

Then again, what would I know? I don’t think I’ve ever protested for anything. I’ve complained plenty. But that’s not really the same thing. In fact, I come from a long line of complainers. My family is full of them. When we complain, we do so in the biggest, grandest way possible even though it doesn’t involve sitting in an intersection or chaining ourselves to equipment. Instead, it involves letters. And not just letters to some midlevel bureaucrat who’ll file them away in some dim dark distant corner never to be seen again. In our family, we like to take our concerns straight to the top. When my father was unhappy with his Nissan E-20 minibus, he didn’t just write to the head of the Nissan Corporation, he wrote to the Emperor of Japan. Then complained that he didn’t get the courtesy of a response. If something goes wrong with his paper delivery, he’s more likely to take it up directly with Rupert than with the local newsagent. I can’t be sure, but I’m almost confident that when world leaders get together, they compare notes on the letters they’ve received from my father. I guess all I’m saying is that I’m not sure it’s good to be a militant anything. Whether vegan, Vulcan or veterinarian, something less strident is called for. Less angry. I only hope it doesn’t spark some kind of retaliatory action; one in which groups of carnivores set up at the tricky intersection behind Frankston station and start roasting a lamb on a spit. Granted it sounds delicious, but that’s not the point. We can, I think, do better than this. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Sharks and Pythons keep up good starts DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn PINES have kept their unbeaten 2019 record intact with a big win over Bonbeach away from home. Playing against a very capable Bonbeach outfit, Pines faced some difficulties and were only three points up heading into the final term. Although the game threatened to go down to the wire, Pines put together an impressive final term to claim a comfortable win. Brendan Barfoot booted three goals for the Pythons, as his side secured victory 8.10 (58) to 13.7 (85). Trent Dennis-Lane worked hard for Bonbeach and booted three goals of his own, At David Macfarlane Reserve, Sorrento were also fighting to keep their 2019 record unblemished as they faced off against Dromana. The contest was tight in the first half, with Sorrento inaccuracy in front of goal costing them a big lead. Despite having six more scoring shots, Sorrento only went into half time six points ahead. Although the Sharks never steadied in front of goal, they still managed to keep on the pressure and claim a win 9.20 (74) to 6.8 (44). The Hallahan brothers were at their best for Sorrento, who are now 4-0 to start the season. Rosebud enjoyed a good day out on the road against EdithvaleAspendale, helping themselves to a 45 point win.

Rosebud ran away with the win after a six goals to one final term. Keegan Downie played a big part for the winning outfit, scoring five majors. The final siren sounded with Rosebud well ahead. They notched up their first victory of the season 10.6 (66) to 16.15 (111). The loss leaves Edithvale-Aspendale struggling at 1-3. At Greg Beck Oval, Frankston Bombers hosted their cross town rivals Frankston YCW in what would prove to be a one sided affair. The Bombers could only manage one goal and eight behinds in the first half, and never recovered. The Stonecats got the job done over their local rivals, securing the win 5.11 (41) to 14.14 (98). Josh Butland booted four majors for the Stonecats. Mt Eliza gave their home town crowd plenty to smile about against Mornington, hammering the Bulldogs with a good team performance. The Redlegs were impressive, and kept Mornington to just three goals for the whole afternoon. The final score read 13.14 (92) to 3.6 (24).

Hillmen continue dominating form DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn THERE is plenty to smile about at Red Hill at the moment, as the Hillmen secured their second consecutive victory by over 100 points on Saturday. After pumping Crib Point last week, Red Hill looked as if they woudl face a bigger challenge this week against Hastings. The Blues had locked in star forward Brendan Fevola to make an appearance on the road to bolster their chances of a win. Despite their forward firepower, Hastings were completely overwhelmed from the get go. Red Hill went into quarter time with a 44 point lead, holding the Blues goalless. Red Hill kept up their relentless attack throughout the afternoon. When the final siren finally sounded to put Hastings out of their misery, the scoreboard read 18.17 (125) to 2.5 (17). The closest match of the round took place at Glover Reserve, as Devon Meadows took on Rye. The Demons got off to a red hot start and held a 17 point lead at the first break of play. Devon Meadows worked hard to stay in touch after that, but Rye kept them at an armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s length. Rye held on to get the win 10.9 (69) to 12.17 (89). Things were not so close at Belvedere Reserve, as a second half blitz saw Seaford smash Pearcedale. Heading into the second half Pearce-

dale were only eight points down, but the Tigers quickly put the result out of their reach. A 13 goal to two second half handed Seaford the win 20.15 (135) to 7.11 (53). Aaron Walton booted five majors. Karingal performed well on the road as they took on Somerville on Saturday, with boom recruit Marc Holt again proving to be worth every penny. The Bulls charged home to a 42 point win thanks to six goals from the rampaging Holt, who now has 29 goals from his five games. Chelsea played host to Crib Point on Saturday, with the Magpies looking to improve after getting thrashed by Red Hill last week. The Magpies were able to hit the scoreboard this week, but were still outclassed by the Seagulls. Crib Point performed better in the second half of the game. Todd Gardiner kicked four goals in a best on ground performance, as Chelsea defeated Crib Point 13.14 (92) to 5.8 (38). At Bunguyan Reserve, Langwarrin were able to run over the top of Tyabb. The Yabbies were keeping touch in a tight fought contest, but the Kangaroos hopped away in the final term. The final score read Tyabb 7.13 (55) to Langwarrin 14.17 (101). Frankston Times

Maizels joins Southern United SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie MELISSA Maizels made her debut for local NPLW outfit Southern United on Saturday. The top-flight goalkeeper is the biggest signing in the club’s short history having played for Melbourne Victory and Perth Glory before recently completing her second stint with Canberra United in the 2018/19 W-League. She turns 26 next month and offers both expertise and experience to one of the youngest playing groups in the elite competition. At Canberra she played alongside Scotland captain Rachel Corsie and Matilda Ellie Carpenter. Maizels was signed from local rival Bayside United late last week and given the exodus of players from Southern to Bayside in recent years this move is significant. “I saw an opportunity to go to a club and be a part of something special,” Maizels said. “Everyone knows that Southern needs a revamp, they need a spark, they need something to change not just to turn their season around but to make themselves a genuine competitor in the league in years to come.” Maizels has a B coaching licence, is the technical director of Mount Martha junior club and co-owner of Absolute Soccer academy. “When I decided to join Southern it was a decision not just for the rest of the season but a commitment for years to come. “This is important to me not only as a player but as a coach and I want to play a part in rebuilding the club from the SAP program up so that Southern is a club that juniors want to come to. “I’m prepared to assist and collaborate in any way I can to make sure we give this club every possible chance to become the NPLW club the peninsula so desperately needs.” Southern lost 6-0 to third-placed Heidelberg on Saturday a far cry from the 12-0 hiding it received when the sides last met in March and Maizels enjoyed her debut. “It was pretty cool to be out there with the girls. “Obviously knowing what they’ve been going through I really admired their resilience and the fact that they stuck around and I feel like I made an impact.” Earlier in the day Southern’s under12s continued their improvement under coach Olivia Groves with their first point of the season thanks to a 1-1 draw with Heidelberg United. Amelia Hart scored for Southern.

Eddie Cerda’s under-14s kept climbing the league ladder with a 3-0 win with goals from Erica-Derrick Sarfo-Sarpong, Rhiannon Kelleher and Eden McKeown. The under-16s under Deb Nichols and Emma Bracken won 5-2 with four goals from prolific scorer Rhys McKenna and a thumping drive from the right of the area by Ezel Duhar. It’s the first time this year that the under-16s have recorded successive victories and this group is still eyeing a finals berth to match its outstanding record of the previous two seasons. The under-19s lost 2-0 but coach Liam Drury was pleased with some aspects of his side’s performance. “We showed a lot of fight and mental strength which was a huge improvement on some recent efforts,” Drury said. “It’s the best game we’ve had defensively but we have to keep improving and this has to show on the pitch and in the scoreline.” In NPL2 Langwarrin lost 2-1 away to Moreland Zebras on Friday night. Langy was 2-0 down after 33 minutes. Thomas Barforosh punished Langy for giving the ball away scoring from close range in the 28th minute and teammate Nicholas Niagorian was left unmarked five minutes later and headed home from the edge of the six-yard box. Liam Cannell’s reckless challenge on David Stirton earned the Zebras midfielder a second yellow in time added in the first half and three minutes into the second half substitute Damir Stoilovic made it 2-1 with a shot from the left of the area that Zebras keeper Jack West-Astuti got a hand to but couldn’t stop.

Jakob Williams broke into a oneon-one with Langy keeper Fraser Maclaren in the 62nd minute but shot wide and Niagorian got a second yellow in the 66th minute to reduce the home side to nine men. John Kuol and Roddy Covarrubias had chances to level but couldn’t capitalise and Stirton was shown a second yellow in the 85th minute. Langy had just one shot on target in the first half and improved that statistic to six shots on target by game’s end. But it wasn’t enough. In State 1 news Mornington recorded a 2-0 away win over Caulfield United Cobras last Saturday. Kane Bentley headed in from a Sammy Orritt cross in the 31st minute and it took until the 92nd minute to ensure that the three points headed back to Dallas Brooks Park when substitute Amir Osmancevic broke into a one-on-one with Caulfield keeper Nathan Silver and slotted the ball home. In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers won 3-1 at home against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday. John Prescott (2) and Grant Lane scored for Strikers who had midfielder Danny Brooks and a Doncaster opponent sent off late in the second half. In State 3 news Mikey Turner scored the winner in Skye United’s 2-1 home win over Middle Park on Saturday. Skye gaffer Phil McGuinness described the win as “ugly” and he was being kind. Daniel Walsh was caught in possession in the 10th minute and the ball was played quickly to Middle Park striker Ollie Davis who was given all the time in the world to pick his spot

then craft a superbly struck curling shot out of the reach of Skye keeper Jonathan Crook and inside the far post to make it 1-0. Skye equalised in the 23rd minute when the linesman failed to flag for offside as Jason Nowakowski broke on the right. His low cross into the box was met by Middle Park central defender Jamie Caldwell who slid down and guided the ball into the back of his own net. The winner came in the 78th minute and was well constructed. Substitute Aaryn Rix and Nowakowksi played a one-two on the right and Rix’s low cross was met by the incoming Turner who could hardly miss from point-blank range. Frankston Pines came away from Dendy Park with a 1-1 draw against host Brighton last weekend. Pines opened the scoring in the 32nd minute when Jason Bradbury volleyed home from 10 metres after CJ Hodgson’s cross from the left. Hodgson, Travis Ernsdoerfer and Nick Simmons all came close to putting Pines in the box seat but Brighton keeper Damien McDade was in sparkling form and a fine finish from John Gibney in the 70th minute levelled the scores. Pines went into this clash without Lewis Potter, Serge Yanez, Stefan Soler and Connor McAndrew but they all are available for selection for Friday night’s assignment against promotion-chasing South Yarra. It will be Soler’s last game before flying to London to start work as a paramedic. In State 4 news a last-gasp winner from Mitch Lander gave Seaford

United a 1-0 away win over Noble FC Hurricanes while Baxter recorded its first win of the league season when it won 3-1 away to Endeavour United last weekend. Seaford had enough chances to win comfortably but it took a goalmouth scramble in the 90th minute for Lander to make his mark. Hurricanes keeper Filip Koninkowski was booked in the incident and when he continued to argue was shown the red card. At Reema Reserve Endeavour United midfielder Matty Morgan headed his side into the lead in the 10th minute but three minutes later Tim Lee linked up with Lewis Gibson whose cross was slotted home by Baxter striker Nathan Yole to make it 1-1. On the half-hour Baxter won a corner and Matt McDermott headed the ball back across goal where Yole headed home to make it 2-1. Charlie Jones sealed Endeavour’s fate in the 62nd minute with a stunning first time strike after the ball broke to him following a corner. In State 5 news Somerville maintained its pursuit of league leader Old Mentonians when it defeated Tullamarine 5-1 at Tyabb Central Reserve last weekend. Eagles ace Dave Greening notched a hat-trick with Mark Pagliarulo and Ben Meiklem also getting on the scoresheet. Meiklem turned in a man-of-thematch display adding to his goal with three assists. Rosebud lost 4-2 away to Endeavour Hills Fire with both Rosebud goals coming from Chris Parry while Aspendale Stingrays lost 3-0 away to White Star Dandenong. This week’s games: FRIDAY, 8.30pm: Frankston Pines v South Yarra (Monterey Reserve).

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard Fleet footed Frankston sprinter takes out Stawell Gift FRANKSTON sprinter Alexia Loizou has claimed victory at this year’s Stawell Gift, taking out the top prize in the women’s division. Ms Loizou said it was “a dream come true” to win the race. She defeated close friend Fia Fighera to win. “I am overwhelmed to win the Stawell Gift, it’s incredible, a dream come true,” she said. “Fia is so strong, I knew she would be right on my tail so I had to go as hard as I could.” Twenty-one-year-old Loizou blitzed the 120 metre sprint, which took place on Monday 22 April at Central Park. She came in as a favourite having clocked the fastest time in the semi. She managed to smash that time and claim the win in the final by completing the race in just 13.58 seconds. The prize for winning the women’s title is $40,000

Yargi Racing kick off operation at home track By Ben Triandafillou THE newly formed Amy and Ash Yargi training partnership recorded their first victory, and winning double at their home track of Mornington on Easter Sunday, 21 April. The husband and wife operation combined at the start of April and after a string of unlucky runs, it was their seventh runner that they saddled up, Danger In Devon, who broke through for their first memorable victory as a team. Channing, a five-year-old gelding by Magic Albert, was quick to back up the victory in the following race and landed the partnership with their first winning double on the same day. It was even more memorable for the team with their two-and-a-half week old daughter, Gerogia May, attending the races for the first time. “She came as our good luck charm,” co-trainer, and mother of two, Amy Yargi said. “It was her first time going. The horses had been racing well but hadn’t been having much luck, so we bought Nana’s (May) lucky ring and Georgia May to the races and clearly it worked really well.” Having “pulled out all the stops”, Amy said the team was “over the moon to get the double” at their home track. The winners, Danger In Devon, was strapped by Matthew Rupe, while Jordyn Wetherly led her first winner

as a strapper with Channing saluting in race seven – it was her second time strapping a runner at the races. For the formation of the training partnership, Amy said it was just the

right time for her husband Ash Yargi to part ways with Mornington-based Freedman Racing after 15 years with the team and commence their operation together.

“I’ve just given birth to our second child and it was becoming a little bit too hard for me to be doing it all by myself with two young kids and Ash working full time, so the timing was

right with Sam Freedman stepping up and becoming a more significant role in his father, Anthony’s, business so the timing was perfect all round,” she said. “Ash has been doing a great job recently, I’ve just given him a bit of free rein the last few weeks. I’ve been pre-occupied with Georgia, but we still discuss everything every day, and he’s been doing a super job and working really hard.” Amy said their unique partnership has also been of benefit to their stable. “I think what makes us unique is that we don’t agree on everything and we’re both trying to get the best out of the horses, and I come up with ideas that Ash doesn’t and vice-versa,” she said. “I think between the two of us we’re covering all bases and the horses are running well so it seems to be working what we’re doing so far.” With their baby girl Georgia now in their lives, Amy has taken less of a “hands on role” with the horses at the stable but in regard to their operation, she will still be overseeing everything including nominations, updates, photos and other information required for owners. Amy said it’s nice to get up early in the morning for a different reason nowadays. “I’m used to being up at the early hours of the mornings and getting up and handling horses so having a cuddle with the baby is quite a nice change,” she said.
