By Chris Brennan A SENIOR Frankston SES member was killed and his five-year-old daughter critically injured when the ultralight aircraft he was flying crashed into a house at Tyabb on Sunday.

Peter Doutch, 44, of Frankston, died at the scene of the crash, while his young daughter, Emily, is fighting for life in hospital. She was still listed as critical late last week.

SES officials paid homage to Mr Doutch, describing him as a highly dedicated volunteer who was “well known, very popular and much respected”.

Frankston SES controller Brain McMannus said fellow volunteer members had been deeply affected by Mr Doutch’s death.

“It’s hit us all very hard; we’ve lost a highly experienced member and a very good person,” Mr McMannus said.

“It’s a sad day for the SES and an especially sad day for Peter’s family.

Our thoughts are now with his little girl, and her mother and brother.

We’re praying she pulls through.”

Witnesses said the aircraft, a “microlight” Airborne XT-912 Tourer, appeared to experience engine prob-

lems before crashing into the roof of a house in Seaview Rd about 5.20pm while heading back to the Peninsula Aero Club airstrip at Tyabb.

Kevin Paganoni, who lives opposite the site of the crash, had been in his back yard rounding up chickens when he heard the stricken aircraft approaching.

“It was heading south back to the airfield but it was way off the flight path, about 300 metres too far west,” he said.

“The engine was sputtering and I thought, ‘he’s in trouble’. There was no way he was going to make it back to the airfield.

“I think he must have known that too and it looked like he was heading for my paddock to try to land.”

But as the aircraft approached Mr Paganoni’s property, it suddenly “banked hard” to the left.

“Then the engine stalled and it dropped out of the sky, straight down into the roof.”

Mr Paganoni said he and other neighbours, as well as the residents of the house, rushed to the crash site to help.

Headlines are a Shaw thing

By Keith Platt IT has become commonplace to see pictures of Geoff Shaw in newspapers and on television, but his likeness may reach a new level if a near-complete oil painting is hung among this year’s Archibald Prize entries.

Frankston North artist Colin Sievers was impressed when he saw the Frankston MP sitting behind his electorate office desk and asked if Mr Shaw would mind being an Archibald contender.

The “work in progress, needing more embellishment”, requires just one more sitting by Mr Shaw in Sievers’ studio.

The MP and the artist connected when Sievers was given permission to display his painting of a First World War digger in the window of Mr Shaw’s Young St office as a lead-in to Anzac Day. Sievers, who describes himself at 63 as a “late bloomer”, had won a prize sponsored by the Dandenong and Frankston RSL branches at the Cardinia Art Show and was delighted when Mr Shaw was “interested … and then I found out he was a member of the RSL pipe band”.

Portraying Mr Shaw sitting behind a desk was inspired by a painting Sievers had seen of a businessman in a similar pose.

Mr Shaw was happy to pose with the portrait and Sievers for The Times.

The shot will no doubt be added to what must be a small mountain of press clippings gathered since Mr Shaw’s 2010 state election win in

Frankston helped propel the Liberal Party into government.

However, instead of gaining another semi-anonymous backbencher, the government was quick to realise Mr Shaw was a magnet for publicity.

In what has been a roller coaster ride over his three and a bit years in Parliament, even Mr Shaw admits to being a bit surprised by the pile of press clippings he’s collected: “I can’t even keep up.”

An avowed Christian, Mr Shaw first hit the headlines after writing to a constituent and telling him that a “desire to love who he wanted” was as “illegitimate as a dangerous driver wanting to speed or a child molester

wanting to molest”. Other headlines followed him being spotted standing on a roadside with a sign pleading for forgiveness from his former wife, intervening in a dispute between a policeman and a motorist, admitting to facing an assault charge while working as a bouncer in 1992, and facing allegations of using his parliamentary vehicle for commercial purposes.

Charges of obtaining financial benefit by deception and one charge of misconduct in public office laid by police were later dropped by the Department of Public Prosecutions.

Results of an investigation into the same matter by the Parliamentary Privileges Committee are expected to be released before the November election.

In October 2013 there was a scuffle on the steps of Parliament House in Spring St when Mr Shaw was lunged at by protesting taxi drivers.

This year began with the Speaker, Ken Smith, standing down after months of criticism from Mr Shaw and the Labor Party.

Mr Shaw quit the Parliamentary Liberal Party in March 2013 and moved to sit on the cross benches as an independent.

Hours later, the government was rocked by the resignation of then premier Ted Baillieu and the elevation to the top of Denis Napthine.

Since then, Mr Shaw’s support has been crucial to the survival of the Coalition government in Victoria, the prefix “balance of power MP” replacing the previously common “rebel MP” or “maverick MP”.

Although he has now resigned from the Liberal Party and the Premier has stated that he would not be allowed to run as a Liberal candidate, any reading of Hansard shows Mr Shaw is scathing of the Labor Party and quite often complimentary of the Coalition and, notably, Mr Napthine.

Last week Mr Shaw told The Times he intends to seek re-election.

He says a door-knock by his staff showed “support for me is 50/50, which you would think should be less”.

“I will stand again, I’m pretty sure; it’s my intent,” Mr Shaw said.

Asked about rumours of him joining Clive Palmer’s Palmer United Party, Mr Shaw said he had not spoken with Mr Palmer for a year.

“I’m just interested in what the people of Frankston think about me.

“A backbencher has never had name recognition like this before. It’s not a bad thing.”

Mr Shaw gives examples of people he meets on the street congratulating him on cleaning up the city.

While not seeking “Taj Mahal-type stuff for Frankston”, he expects the city to benefit from next week’s preelection state budget.

He has already announced there will be $250,000 to improve Frankston District Netball Association grounds at Jubilee Park and he is confident basketballers will get a further $100,000.

However, without the backing of a party his campaigning is a fairly solitary affair.

While Mr Shaw usually makes his

own way to functions the two major parties regularly sweep into Frankston with ministers and shadow ministers making “good news” announcements, providing substance and legitimacy to their candidates (Helen Constas, Labor, and Sean Armistead, Liberal.

Mr Shaw last month formed a oneMP delegation to Frankston’s sister city Susono, in Japan.

He believes he is the first Australian MP to officially make the trip to Susono and lists his “objectives” as being to discuss “current and future business relationships and trade possibilities”.

“With Prime Minister Tony Abbott announcing in the same week that there would be a free trade agreement with Japan, it is likely that there will be an increase in foreign investment between the two countries and Victoria is poised to benefit greatly from Japanese business investment,” Mr Shaw stated.

On Anzac Day he marched with his band playing the bagpipes.

The sound of the pipes is not music to all ears, in much the same way Mr Shaw’s politics do not resonate with all voters.

Undoubtedly he has retained the backing of many residents who voted him into office and his chance of reelection cannot be ruled out.

If not, his choice of preferences will probably determine who does go on to become the next member for Frankston, providing perhaps one final opportunity for him to wield the balance of power.

Wiping out graffiti CRIME Prevention Minister Edward O’Donohue was in Frankston last week to announce an opportunity for municipalities to apply for state government grants to remove graffiti.

Accompanied by Frankston’s deputy mayor, Cr Rebekah Spelman, and Liberal Party candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead, Mr O’Donohue said applications for the $5000-$25,000 grants to remove the “blight on local neighbourhoods “must be in by 20 June.

“These grants help to improve the visual amenity of neighbourhoods and increase community confidence in the safety of public place by funding projects that deter, prevent and cleanup illegal graffiti,” Mr O’Donohue said.

To be eligible for the grants councils

must enter into partnerships with community groups.

“This partnership approach encourages community engagement in developing and delivering solutions that are tailored to local needs,” Mr O’Donohue said.

“Illegal and unsightly graffiti is a blight on the local streetscape and can make people feel less safe in their own community.

“It is important, as a community, we share the message that graffiti vandalism will not be tolerated.”

$21m bonus for Frankston schools

By Chris Brennan FRANKSTON High School will undergo a “massive redevelopment” worth up to $18.5 million, the state government announced last week.

The school will receive an initial grant of $8.5 million at the start of July for major redevelopment works, while the Coalition government has pledged to provide a further of $10 million for further upgrades should it retain power in the November election.

Frankston Special Development School, which provides specialised learning opportunities for 134 primary and secondary students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities, will also receive funding of $2.5 million to improve facilities.

Education Minister Martin Dixon visited both schools on Thursday along with the recently appointed Liberal candidate for Frankston, Sean Armistead, to announce the $21 million funding

windfall. “Under a re-elected Coalition Government, Frankston High School will undergo a massive redevelopment worth a total of $18.5 million, with an initial $8.5 million available from July 1 this year,” he said.

“This is a fantastic announcement for students and teachers at Frankston High School and the Frankston community, which had missed out repeatedly under the previous Labor government.”

Frankston High School principal John

received such funds to do with what we think is best for the school.”

In announcing the funding deal for Frankston Special Development School, Mr Dixon said the Coalition government was committed to building better learning environments “for all Victorian students”.

“This funding can be used to redevelop and modernise school facilities and will ensure students have access to a high quality learning environment.”

Big blow for boozy pub patrons

Pageant queen rules Galaxy PENINSULA pageant queen Jessica Martini is the pride of the nation after being crowned Miss Galaxy Australia.

The 25-year-old Hastings resident, who represented the Mornington Peninsula in the national finals held on the Gold Coast earlier this month, will now represent Australia at the international finals in the USA in August where she will compete with national winners from across the globe for the Miss Galaxy crown.

Ms Martini, who attended high school in Langwarrin, said she was humbled to have won the coveted Miss Galaxy Australia title, outshining 47 of the country’s most beautiful and inspiriting young women in the national finals.

“I’m so thrilled, I never thought this would happen,” she told The Times.

“All my hard work has finally paid

Albiston welcomed news the school would definitely receive $8.5 million in this year’s budget and potentially millions of dollar more in future years.

“We are overwhelmed with ideas as to how to use such funds to allow Frankston High School to keep going onwards and upwards,” Mr Albiston said. “Mr Dixon acknowledged that we have an outstanding reputation … and at times great schools get overlooked with regards to funds. But he said it was important we

Ms Martini said she had been heavily involved with Pink Ribbon Day, as well as the competition’s chosen Australian charities, Make a Wish

Foundation and Australia Zoo’s Wildlife Warriors program. “I aim to do big things with my title, and raise lots of money for charity.” she said.

MORE than 5000 people have been breath tested leaving Frankston’s pubs and clubs during the first month of a major ongoing police operation targeting drink driving.

Police set up road blocks in locations around licensed premises in Frankston identified as high-risk for drink driving as part of Operation Short Stop, which began at the start of April and is set to continue until mid-May. Since the operation began, police have breath tested 5058 people and detected 19 drink drivers, including two probationary drivers. Three drivers had their licences immediately suspended after being detected with a readings more than double the legal limit.

Police also detected four unlicensed drivers and one disqualified driver and uncovered 10 other traffic offences.

Leading Senior Constable Scott Woodford from Frankston highway patrol said police made no apologies for targeting motorists who put lives at risk by getting behind the wheel after a boozy night out.

“Police will continue to use every method at our disposal to detect and remove impaired drivers from our roads,” he said. “The area around a booze bus is very well monitored by unmarked patrol cars ready to catch motorists who think they can slip past when they’ve had too much to drink.”  Meanwhile, a 37-year-old Langwarrin man who allegedly fled after being involved in a crash with two other cars in Karingal last week was found to be more than five times the legal alcohol limit.

Carrum Downs police were called to a three-vehicle crash on Cranbourne Rd about 3.40pm on Wednesday and found one of the drivers had left the scene.

The man was tracked down at Karingal Shopping Centre shortly afterwards and placed under arrest. He recorded a blood alcohol reading of .269 per cent during a breath test at Carrum Downs police station. His licence was immediately suspended after being charged with high-range drink driving and a number of other traffic offences.

When they arrived, Mr Doutch was not conscious while his daughter was injured and crying.

“We could see fuel dripping, so we were in quite a panic to get them out,” Mr Paganoni said.

“The little girl was still strapped into her harness. She was in front of him, between his legs. She was obviously badly hurt but we had to get her out quickly because we were worried a fire would break out.”

Paramedics arrived shortly after and took over treating the girl. She was later transported to hospital by helicopter.

Mr McMannus said Mr Doutch had been a volunteer with the SES for 24 years and was one of the Frankston units most senior members. As a section leader he had trained many of the current volunteer members.

“We’re like a big family and when you lose someone, it’s like losing a

family member,” he said.

“We called a special meeting of our members to let them know what had happened so we could talk about it face to face. The SES chaplain and our peer support officers attended.

“We sat around together afterwards to talk about Peter. He was a dedicated volunteer and a happy-go-lucky person who was very highly regarded.

“He loved singing and actually ran his own karaoke business. And he also loved flying.

“He got his pilot’s licence about three years ago and was passionate about flying. He died doing what he loved.”

Peninsula Aero Club president Peter Bernardi said Mr Doutch had been with the club for about three years and had been popular among fellow members.

“It’s a very sad and sombre day for us, but our main concern now is for the little girl and the family,” Mr Bernadi

said. “He was well known and well liked around the club and loved his flying.”

While declining to comment on Sunday’s accident, which is subject to a number of investigations, Mr Bernadi said the aircraft Mr Doutch had been flying was usually considered “very reliable”.

“It’s like a hang glider with a motor on it and they’re very well built with a good, reliable European engine.”

The XT-912 Tourer is marketed as a “cross-country microlight” capable of flying for extended distances. It features aluminium-framed hang glider style wings above a two-seat open cockpit. It is powered by an Austrianbuilt 80 horse power four-stroke Rotax 912 engine.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority is investigating the fatal crash, while police will prepare a report for the coroner.

‘Patchwork’ station plan condemned

By Neil Walker PROMISES to upgrade Frankston railway station and its surrounds made by ex-premier Ted Baillieu before the 2010 state election could come back to haunt the Coalition government this year.

With just months until the state election in November, the state government has issued a revised plan that omits many of the improvements spruiked by the former premier.

The latest proposal does not mention a new bus interchange at the station or a new multi-deck car park, as flagged by Baillieu six days before voters went to the polls on 27 November 2010.

The Department of Transport Planning and Local Infrastructure released a ‘Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Project’ featuring draft ideas for public feedback last month but neglected to make any announcement about the plan or the deadline for feedback.

The draft was posted on the department’s website.

Cr Colin Hampton will urge Frankston Council to seek urgent meetings with Premier Denis Napthine and state Planning Minister Matthew Guy to lobby for council to be “the lead organisation” to construct a transit interchange at the Frankston station “within the next year”.

Cr Hampton said the money for the $13.8 million project could be deducted from the $100 million

pledged by the state government for Frankston line upgrades.

“They need to build a fair dinkum bus terminal there and that should include a multi-storey car park,” Cr Hampton said.

“The current proposal is just a patchwork plan and is a waste of money.”

He said a new bus terminal should be built on the Fletcher Rd side of the station to clear the Young St side which is often congested with traffic.

He said the state government was “not listening” and the Frankston station upgrade plans have been “handballed to bureaucrats”.

He blamed “successive state governments” for failing to provide a “safe and attractive” station.

A project manager hired by council, but paid for by the state government, would be the ideal way to ensure progress is made on the station upgrade, according to Cr Hampton.

The latest DTPLI draft plan aims to “deliver improvements to the station’s surroundings” by installing wider footpaths and moving towards “a greener precinct with more trees and space”.

“High-quality lighting” within the station and its surrounds is also planned.

Visit www.dpcd.vic.gov.au to see the Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Project draft plan.

The deadline for public feedback on the draft plan is Friday 23 May.

Space available: Frankston MP Geoff Shaw says land near Kananook station should be used for parking instead of millions being spent on a multi-level car park at Frankston.

Go north to solve parking squeeze: MP PART of the answer to parking problems at Frankston station could lie further north at Kananook.

Frankston MP Geoff Shaw says increasing the parking area along Bardia Ave near the Kananook station would ease pressure on Frankston.

“This is a viable option for reducing commuter stress concerning parking,” Mr Shaw said.

He said parking was Kananook was “very limited” with commuters often choosing Frankston station “simply to get a car park” or risking a fine by parking in private gardens.

“While the possibility of an increase

in the amount of parking spots available at Frankston station is being investigated, an increase in quantity at Kananook is a reasonable solution which utilises land that is currently going to waste,” Mr Shaw said.

“With Chisholm students and commuters already stretching parking, the added traffic of the soon-to-becompleted aquatic centre will add even more pressure to the station precinct.

“The only option for Frankston station parking is to start building a multi-level complex, however this will need to have appropriate community consultation and is a considerably

expensive solution.

“A better option would be to take advantage of unused land close to Kananook station before investing millions of dollars into a multi-storey car park here.”

Mr Shaw said Frankston Council had taken more than 220 car parks from the foreshore and station precinct.

“With additional lighting and added PSOs [Protective Services Officers] managing commuter safety at Kananook, this station could be upgraded to handle a higher volume of passengers for far less taxpayer-funded expense.”

LETTERS Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concern

Adelaide option

I WAS saddened by news of the sudden passing of local resident Peter Doutch. While I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know Peter personally, it is clear from the outpouring of grief that his loss will be felt widely in our community.

Peter was a member of the Frankston SES for about 20 years and last year chaired the Parent Advisory Group at Bruce Park Pre-School.

It is people like Peter who volunteer their time with no expectation of reward or recognition that make our city a better place.

I would like to pass on my deepest condolences to family and friends at this sad time and wish his daughter Emily a full recovery from her injuries.

Cr Darrel Taylor, Frankston City Mayor

WITH the ever increasing comment regarding the possible placement of the next Victoria container port, there is too much debate on where and when. The west of Melbourne possibility has been debunked as not viable by the boffins of Collins St. Even those who are still espousing the Melbourne option need to face reality and realise it is bereft of financial viability.

I am surprised that the state government may have failed to see the elephant in the room. The biggest threat to Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s port infrastructure and jobs is not in this state.

Last month I visited the Port of Adelaide, and had discussions with various organisations and tug companies. While in many areas South Australia - due to the auto industry and its inability to construct naval ships on time has contributed the that stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic graveyard - the Port of Adelaide is punching well above its weight.

During my visit I noted a new port road, a rail and rail opening bridges over the Port River direct to the outer harbour region, bypassing the necessity to use any broad gauge rail through the metropolitan and Port Adelaide areas. New oil, grain and other port infrastructure and plenty of berths and land infrastructure similar to Hastings is available for immediate additional containerisation.

Flinders Ports cover all cargo ports within South Australia. The CEO is a former senior executive of the former Port of Geelong.

The infrastructure is basically in place and with wharf side standard gauge rail already existing and large â&#x20AC;&#x153;block trainsâ&#x20AC;? that could move move hundreds, if not thousands of boxes either way overnight between Adelaide and Melbourne.

I feel confident that South Australia, which is grasping at any economic straw, could turn its container operations into a regional port servicing Victoria with rail, road or small feeder container ships.

For those carping about a Hastings container port, it is an important infrastructure for Victoria. A loss to our state of the largest port for containers in Australia, not to mention thousands of jobs, would jeopardise future growth in our region.

William (Bill) G T Barber, Hastings

Public housing THANK you for the front-page story about this important, yet largely overlooked issue. Well done. (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tenants put on noticeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, The Times 31/3/14).

I, and many other residents of my street in Seaford, are experiencing a similar situation with [public housing] tenants for more than 10 years. Their behaviour breaches too many clauses of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 to mention here and they are in clear violation of about half of the clauses contained in the Tenancy Breaches and Dispute Resolution Version 3.2 January 2010.

Despite many complaints to the Department of Human Services no action has been taken and DHS told me that each issue was the responsibility of another party. Growing and selling drugs on the premises was the responsibility of the police; excessive pets, unregistered and not desexing dogs and the breeding of dogs was the responsibility of Frankston City Council.

I also applaud the council for taking the issue up with the housing minister - where the buck should stop - as it has to deal with these issues constantly and may be as frustrated as I am with the lack of performance from DHS officers. Perhaps [the minister] Wendy Lovell should be called upon to give DHS a crucial overhaul and improve its effectiveness.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all remember that DHS properties are funded by taxpayers, as are the wages of DHS employees, who are public servants employed to serve the people.

Footy girls ready for siren GIRL footballers will hit the grounds for a 10-round season on Sunday 18 May. The two girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; division include teams from Rosebud, Seaford, Mt Eliza, Langwarrin, Edithvale-Aspendale, Frankston Rovers and a combined team from Frankston District Junior Football League clubs that were unable to individually field teams.

The competition being held by the Frankston District Junior Football League (FDJFL) in conjunction with AFL South East includes junior girls aged 9-13 and youth girls 14-18.

FDJFL president Stuart Mason described the response to female football in the region as â&#x20AC;&#x153;mind-blowingâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To think that at the start of this year we had one club coming to us saying they wanted to do this and now we have 10 teams, two competitions and hundreds of girls ready to take the field is just mind-blowing,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;All credit goes to the clubs for driving the initiative within their communities.â&#x20AC;?

AFL South East Region general manager Jeremy Bourke said the result was â&#x20AC;&#x153;very impressiveâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When discussions were first held, we were hopeful of attracting enough players to field three or four teams. It just shows there is an appetite for female football on the peninsula and with further promotion and development, this has the potential, in a very short period of time, to be one of the leading female programs in the country.â&#x20AC;? n Georgia Walker and Lizzie Muir from the MPJFL Youth Girls Team (which competes in the South East Juniors) and Jordy Allen from Rye under-14s have been selected for the Victorian Metro Girls under-18 side compete in the national carnival in Canberra 4-9 May.

Harry ‘the Fox’ crosses his finish line Harry Firth (1918-2014)

By Fran Henke AUSTRALIAN motor racing legend Harry Firth died on April 27, just days after turning 96. He died in a Melbourne hospital following a battle with cancer.

Mr Firth, a leading race and rally driver during the 1950s and 1960s, went on to be an influential team manager into the 1970s. He was a rare individual who could combine technical skill and organisational skill with race-day wisdom.

In his retirement he bought two holiday homes at Hastings. The first was a fisherman’s cottage that he restored and the second demonstrated his real love of modest weatherboard houses.

He donated one house to HastingsWestern Port Historical Society and it was moved onto the block in Herring St. It is now home to the society’s records, photos and maps and named Harry’s House in his honour.

Harry Firth was born in Orbost, Victoria, in 1918, and began his working life in a country garage.

During World War 2 he spent time in the Middle East then began working around cars and motorbikes.

As a race and rally driver he won the Bathurst 500 four times, the Southern Cross Rally and the Australian Rally Championship. But he was also an ingenious and highly talented engineer and team manager. His mark on Australian racing history came through his achievements as team manager at the Ford Works Team and the Holden Dealer Team.

Unlikely passenger: Harry Firth was more used to being behind the wheel in a motor racing career that spanned more than three decades, propelling him into the history books of Australian motor sport.

Firth co-designed and race-developed the Cortina GT 500, the GT Falcon, the Torana XU1, L34 and A9X, was responsible for launching and mentoring drivers Colin Bond and Peter Brock (nine times winner of the Bathurst 1000), and leading teams to

victory at five Bathursts, five Australian Manufacturers’ Championships and four Australian Rally Championships – an immeasurable contribution to the history of the Australian “muscle car” and Australian motor sport.

Firth established the first factory-

backed squads that have remained the basic model for leading touring car teams in Australia. As well as a visionary team boss, he was a champion race and rally driver whose skill behind the wheel matched his prowess in the pit lane.

Firth’s nickname was "the fox", for his use of cunning ploys as a team manager. He was also described as a “bush engineer”, for his ability to build a race winning engine from little more than a roll of wire. Leading Australian Motoring journalist and former racer Bill Tuckey once wrote affectionately of Firth that as a driver, engineer and team manager, he was “as cunning as an outhouse rat”.

Harry Firth’s attachment to the industry continued with his notable collection of racing memorabilia, initially seeking privacy of his address to protect it. He then became a regular at race tracks selling memorabilia. A website in his name sells memorabilia with its manager explaining Harry didn’t have a computer but others were looking after sales for him.

Over three decades his contribution on and off the track earned many awards and decorations. A defining acknowledgement was his induction into the V8 Supercars Hall of Fame in 2007, in recognition of the profound role that he played in shaping modern touring car racing in Australia.

Another Bathurst champion John Bowe, said that “both Ford and Holden benefited immensely from his incredible technical wizardry and planning as did drivers over the decades in the 1950, to the 1970s. I enjoyed immensely the times with I spent with Harry more recently”.

“His stories were always straight forward, often hilarious and he was a genuine character. They don't make blokes like Harry Firth any more.

My condolences to his family – RIP champion.”

FEATURE PROPERTY

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

‘Ballochmyle’ “FAIR is the morn in flowery May, and sweet is night in Autumn mild” is one line from the 1786 poem “The Lass O’Ballochmyle” written by famous Scottish bard Robbie Burns. Although the work is about a beautiful Scottish maiden, it seems fitting that May and Autumn are the chosen month and season to bring this truly spectacular property - a beauty in its own right - to the market. Dating back to the 1870’s, Ballochmyle encompasses about 4-hectares and as a property is defined by the absolute privacy and beautiful wide open spaces. The main house is set towards the back of the block, and is accessed via a meandering tree-lined driveway, that snakes its way past a stunning ornamental lake. The driveway splits at one point and works its way up to a machinery shed, five-car garage and storage outbuildings in the far corner, but continuing on in the direction of the house, you pass a delightful gazebo and the sheer beauty of the home unfolds before you. A grand entry is resplendent underneath soaring 4.2-metre (14feet) ceilings with chandeliers and ceiling roses that are precise in every detail. Baltic pine polished floors lead past a dazzling formal lounge and dining room, with bedrooms two and three on the opposite side of the hall - the larger main bedroom has a sublime ensuite with feature leadlight windows. A spacious open plan kitchen and family area has a wonderful warmth to it with a combination of marble bench tops and rosewood timbers in the kitchen combining with a striking fireplace built from handmade bricks. From a sunroom you have access out to the entertainment area. Each room is so rich in individual character and detail, the old real estate cliché of ‘you must inspect to fully appreciate’ rings true. The external features to the property are as impressive as those found inside. From the entertainment deck you overlook a splendid in-ground pool with spa, there is also a pool house, and under the same roof line is a triple garage. A detached two-bedroom, two bathroom cottage is an absolute delight, and is positioned close to the full-size tennis court that is complete with flood lights.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Boys in blue ditch horses for cycles, grand dance in aid of sick child AS a result of a decree of Chief Commissioner Sainsbury, many police:Constables McCormack at Frankston and O’Shannasey at Hastings among the number - have been deprived of their horses, and have been given bicycles instead. That constable O’Shannasey is more at home astride the pigskin than pushing a bike was illustrated at Somerville one day last week, when the “boy in blue” from Hastings was seen riding up the street on his newly acquired bicycle wearing his spurs. No doubt if he uses that means of inducing his mount to go, Commissioner Sainsbury will be glad to replace the horse, as it would prove an expensive matter to repair the bicycle if the spurs were used too frequently. *** A GRAND dance, to defray the expenses of a Frankston child who has been an inmate of the Queen’s Memorial Infectious Diseases hospital will be held in the Mechanics’ hall, Frankston on Saturday, 16th May. An orchestra of four performers has been engaged, and light refreshments will be provided. The prices of tickets are double 3s 6d singles. *** MR Alfred John McKenzie, 58, manager for Mr Oliver at “Tuerong” died suddenly from heart failure on Wednesday night. Deceased, who was born at St. Kilda, was well known in New South Wales and Queensland. *** PERSONS having claims against the estate of the late Robert Patterson are required to send in particulars to Mr L. R. N. Utber on or before 8th June next.

*** A SOCIAL in connection with St. Paul’s club Frankston, will be held in the Mechanics hall on Wednesday, 13th May. A farce, Dr Diaculum will be given by Messrs M. Elliott, H. Allen, C. Ellis and A. Bailey. After the programme, supper and a short dance will be held. *** OWING to illness of a rather severe nature, the Rev R. Jackson, of Frankston, was unable to fulfil his engagements on Sunday last, nor will he be able to do so tomorrow. We are pleased to state that the condition of the rev gentleman is improving, and we hope to see him about again very shortly. *** THERE should be a crowded house at the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall this (Saturday) evening, when the celebrated quartet “We Four,” which comprises Mr Frederick Earp, Mr Herbert Slattery, Mr Claude Schilling, and Mr Walter Burleigh, will submit a high class programme. The quartet party will be assisted by Miss Jessie Crombe and Miss Maude Crombe, and Messrs F. Plummer (Flute) and W. P. Mason (Violin). The proceeds are in aid of the Frankston Fire Brigade, and this should ensure a bumper house. *** MR Fred Barclay’s new villa is just completed, it being built on the latest designs and has eight rooms in it. *** AT one of the usual practice matches of the tennis club which are held on Wednesday afternoons, Mr Les. Owen was presented with an ink-

stand, and Miss Owen with a jewel casket. Mr J. M. Watt, president of the club made the presentation on behalf of the club, and Mr Owen responded in a very neat speech. *** THE Rev Lamble of St. Stephen’s, Richmond, assisted by Rev Croxley of Cheltenham, had the pleasure of inducting the Rev Watts on Wednesday night last as Vicar of the parish. ***

Mr Fred Barclay’s new villa is just completed, it being built on the latest designs and has eight rooms in it.

IT is with regret we report the death of Mr Thomas J. Rossiter, who was a native of the Dandenong district, but had been residing at “The Oaks”,

New South Wales for some years, carrying on business as a stock and station agent. After attending a sale at Camden on 14th inst., Mr Rossiter was preparing to return home, when he stepped on a stone, which caused him to sprain his ankle, and, in trying to save himself from falling, he broke his ankle. He was conveyed to the Camden hospital, and his death was quite unexpected. He was the eldest son of the late T. J. Rossister, of “Ballymaran,” Frankston. *** MUCH regret was expressed on Thursday of last week by officers of the State Public Service on hearing of the death of Mr J. G. Turner, chief horticultural officer of the Agricultural Department, which took place that morning at his home, Hart’s parade, Auburn. For some time Mr Turner was in indifferent health, and lately had to absent himself from duty, but none of his brother officers thought that his illness was serious.

Mr Turner, who was 47 years of age, was born in Adelaide and educated at Prince Alfred’s College in that city. He entered the state service, nearly 26 years ago, and after spending a few years in the Penal Department was transferred to the Agricultural Department. As Chief Fruit Inspector he did much to clear pests from orchards, and to help to develop the export trade. He leaves a widow and four children - three girls and a boy. *** BETWEEN 50 and 60 ratepayers attended at the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston on Wednesday evening, for the purpose of having the

proposed water scheme for the Peninsula explained, and to signify their willingness or otherwise to have the scheme carried out. Cr T. Ritchie occupied the chair, and the engineer (Mr Sambell) explained the proposed scheme very fully.

With reference to statements made

by Mr Webb at a public meeting that a supply from Bunyip would be more practicable, Mr Sambell said that the proposed offtake level was much too low for our requirements.

Bunyip was only about 100ft. above sea level, and it would be necessary to go another 15 miles to get a point high enough. The offtake would have to be nearer 900 ft., and if they went that high, there would not be much catchment area. Instead of the 43 miles of main they now proposed to have, it would be nearer 70 miles, and the supply would be smaller. He would visit the spot and take levels and see what water was available, but he did not think for a minute that it would be taken into consideration in connection with this scheme. Dr Maxwell asked if it was proposed to have a meter charge as a well as the annual charge, and the engineer said that that would be governed by the quantity of water a person used.

If it was found that any person was wasting water, then he would have to have a meter installed. The chairman then asked for a show of hands of those in favour of the scheme, and he declared the result as unanimously in favour. Crs Oates and Plowman moved a vote of thanks to the engineer, which was carried with acclamation, and the meeting terminated.

The unstoppable rise of sinister footwear

By Stuart McCullough IT began, as these things do, slowly.

At first you’d catch just an occasional, fleeting glimpse and smirk quietly to yourself at someone else’s misfortune.

Before you knew it, they were everywhere you turned – men wearing pointy shoes could not be avoided.

The pointy shoe is by no means a recent invention, although it used to be confined to a certain time and place.

Specifically, it was a ‘going out’ shoe; something you might wear to a nightclub or to your cousin’s engagement party. It was not, under any circumstance, something that you would ever consider wearing to work.

But if going out shoes weren’t bad enough, things were about to take a turn for the worse.

Before you could say “wanker”, men were suddenly wearing not only going out shoes but their good shirts also. For those unfamiliar with the concept of ‘the good shirt’, it’s the one you save for special occasions when you really want to impress people.

It is fundamentally and immediately distinguishable from ‘the work shirt’.

Even worse, these people were parading around, their heads crowned with some kind of hair porcupine.

We’ve now reached a point where it’s impossible to tell whether a colleague is walking to the photocopier or to the bar to get another round of drinks. This madness must stop.

Work is work and we should dress appropriately. There is no excuse for looking as though we’ve arrived at the office via The 21st Century Dance Club.

I may sound harsh but it’s not as if I’m completely without sympathy. I too know the power of a quality pair of shoes.

I was in Year 10 at the time, and still at an age where my parents bought my

clothing for me. My best sneakers had Velcro. I’m not sure what you think about Velcro, but it’s a sad state of affairs when someone looks at shoelaces and thinks they’re too complicated. I also owned shoes with zippers. I’d

been playing in a band for a number of years and was becoming quite selfconscious.

Whereas previously I’d stumbled onto stage in cords and a windcheater, the crowds were now expecting more and I was eager to please.

Chris Blacker was the first to buy them; black, shiny boots with a golden belt buckle. It was the most amazing pair of shoes that I had ever encountered. At the time, they looked sophisticated, sleek and artistic. With the benefit of hindsight, they looked like the kind of shoes you’d expect to be worn by an unemployed goblin. Nevertheless, I wanted my own pair of boots.

They retailed at somewhere around the fifty dollar mark, which seemed prohibitively expensive. I’m sure I dropped a series of hints and, possibly, catalogues around the house. In spite of my concentrated efforts, I was still surprised when I was presented with a box.

I’d learned from bitter experience that receiving a box and assuming there was actually something in it was a dangerous game destined to end in disappointment, so I quickly threw it to one side.

After some persistent encouragement and a written undertaking, I opened the shoebox to find a pair of size ten and half black boots with a double gold buckle on each shoe. It was the double buckle that really appealed to me; as if a single buckle could not possibly do. I was extremely proud of my shoes.

Of course I wore them when playing with the band, not only at performances but rehearsals also. I wore them

whenever I could, save that I refused to wear them to high school. I like to think of this as a separation of powers. Throughout my schooling years, I stuck with a pair of tried and true Bata scouts. They weren’t glamorous and they didn’t have single buckle, much less two, but they got the job done.

I’m not sure what it is that drives people to show their colleagues their outside life. There’s a quiet desperation in trying to reveal who you really are by your choice of footwear. It’s as though there’s a hunger to prove that you’re more than just the job you happen to hold. Does it have to be through clothing? Are we so disabled when it comes to communicating our individual essence to our fellow human beings?

Perhaps we should be encouraged to communicate a little more thoroughly before we resort to dressing up as though we’re ready to queue up for the Over 28s night at Transformers.

It’s ironic, I think, that nightclubs require patrons to dress to impress. Perhaps if men attend for work in pointy shoes, management can reserve the right to refuse entry.

Maybe I’m being a little too harsh.

After all, I ceased wearing my boots immediately upon going to university and discovering that they were about as fashionable as a pair of bell-bottom flares. I stopped wearing my bell-bottom flares too.

Come to think of it, my feet probably haven’t changed that much in the years since. Maybe I should dig them out, give them one more spin around the block and wear them to work. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance RICK Springfield was a member of the very popular sixties group, Zoot.

Born Richard Springthorpe in Guildford NSW in 1949, by the time he was 14 he had his first guitar and over the next few years Rick played with various groups including Moppa Blues, Wickedy Wak and M.P.D Ltd. His big break came in 1969 when he joined Zoot and remained with them until their breakup in 1971. He later signed with Sparmac Records and released his first solo single Speak to the Sky which became a Top 10 hit in Australia and Top 20 in the USA. The Grammy award-winning musician, actor and New York Times bestselling author is returning to rock Oz in October, with a national tour.

It has been a while since Australian audiences have seen Rick Springfield in concert with his own band, although he was the headliner for the Countdown Spectacular tour of 2007 and a very privileged few witnessed him live in a wine bar in a Melbourne suburb in July 2012.

With 25 million records sold, multiple top-40 hits, including Don’t Talk to Strangers, An Affair of the Heart, I’ve Done Everything for You, Love Somebody and Speak To The Sky, as well as a 1981 Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal for his No.1 hit single Jessie’s Girl.

He also introduced and had his own hit with the Mondo Rock classic State Of The Heart in America.

Rick Springfield’s shows are legendary for their rock, high energy, full band sets and classic song lists. According to many, Springfield live is more aligned to Springsteen because of his rock’n’roll style performances. He even once recorded the song Bruce in recognition of this.

Touring Australia with his band has been something Rick has been eager to do for a long time. “ I am and will always be an Aussie. My best memories of my early career are all centred around Australia. It will forever be my home.

I can’t believe I have never done a full

tour in Australia as a solo performer”.

Following the breakup of Zoot in 1970, Rick was Russell Morris’ bass player for a few months before he released his debut single Speak to the Sky. In 1972 he released his first solo album, Beginnings before he relocated to the US later the same year. 40 years later, he is a special guest on Russell’s new album Van Dieman’s Land.

Once in the US, Springfield continued to record and perform live before beginning a new career as a TV actor appearing in The Rockford Files and Wonder Woman, before landing the lead, as Dr. Noah Drake, in General Hospital a role that won him a legion of fans.

Rick’s star was well and truly on the rise when he released his album Working Class Dog which became a smash hit in 1980 and spawned the number one hit Jessie’s Girl. In the following years he continued to record and perform

live along with appearances in films and TV shows and on Broadway in the musical Smokey Joe’s Cafe. His role as Dr Noah in General Hospital was reprised following a 23-year absence.

He was recently the centrepiece of the plot of David Duchovny’s Californication third season playing a very lovable but degenerate character named …Rick Springfield.

Rick has also appeared in an episode of Hawaii Five-0, and Drop Dead Diva.

In 2010, Rick released his autobiography, Late, Late at Night. It entered The New York Times best-seller list at No. 13 and hit the Los Angeles Times and Publishers Weekly lists as well. Rolling Stone named it one of the top 25 rock autobiographies of all time.

In 2012 Springfield’s documentary An Affair of the Heart, which captured the close ties between Springfield and his fans, debuted at numerous film fes-

tivals and won special jury awards at the Nashville, Florida, Boston, and Daytona Film Festivals.

In 2013 Springfield teamed up with Dave Grohl on Grohl’s multi-faceted passion project Sound City, which encompassed a documentary (Sound City), an album (Sound City: Real to Reel), and the Sound City Players tour, a string of critically acclaimed shows with fellow documentary subjects including Stevie Nicks, Trent Reznor, John Fogerty, and Sir Paul McCartney among others. Each artist’s set was backed by Grohl’s handpicked all-star band. Springfield and Grohl co-wrote The Man That Never Was, which has been widely recognised by critics as one of the best songs on the Sound City album.

In 2014 Rick Springfield’s first novel, Magnificent Vibration will be released and in addition he will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

He will hit the road with Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo for a multi-city tour of the States – and of course we will see him for his October tour of Australia.

With all this and more, Springfield shows no signs of slowing down.

Rick Springfield will appear at the Palais Theatre Melbourne, Friday October 17. Tickets 136 100. *** OPERA Australia kicked off its second show for the 2014 season with a sensational performance of The Turk in Italy last week at the State Theatre.

The Turk in Italy is not often performed. This is the first production ever from Opera Australia and in the bicentennial year of its premiere, the timing couldn’t be better.

Given that Rossini reputedly wrote the opera in just 18 days, and that he was just 22 at the time, it’s no wonder that the result is such a riotous ball of energy.

The opera starts with budding playwright Prosdocimo looking for a storyline for his next play. He has a local lush, Fiorella, already bickering with her pompous husband, Geronio, when her head is turned by the latest arrival in

town, a dashing Turk, Selim. How about adding in some wandering gypsies (especially one who has a secret identity), set it all at the seaside (with1950s bikinis of course), throw a masquerade ball (with anticipated costume disasters), simmer it all in Rossini’s distinctively charming music and it’s a sure-fire recipe for an operatic feast.

Tickets from the Arts Centre 1300 182 183. *** On Friday 16th May Melbourne Central will host the Australian premiere of the highly anticipated film X-Men: Days of Future Past at Hoyts Cinemas, presented by TCL. A major star-studded red carpet event will take place to mark the film’s premiere with the stars of the film Hugh Jackman, Fan Bingbing, Peter Dinklage walking the red carpet and greeting fans and media in the shadow of Melbourne Central’s 125-year-old Coops Shot Tower.

Healthy Living Don’t needlessly suffer foot pain DID you know more than 80 per cent of Australians will experience serious foot problems at some point in their lives?

Considering most of our daily activities rely heavily on our feet and legs, this can be a major concern.

The most common foot and leg concerns include: Shin pain commonly known as shin splints Achilles pain often referred to as achilles tendonitis Ankle pain and sprains, arch and heel pain most commonly referred to and often incorrectly diagnosed as Plantar Fasciitis Bunions, knee pain and injuries. All of which can be caused by faulty biomechanics or bad foot posture continually pulling your body out of alignment The good news is you don’t have to put up with foot and leg pain or discomfort. Most of these concerns can be quite easily addressed, if diagnosed correctly and treated appropriately.

Much foot and leg pain doesn’t get addressed successfully due to incorrect diagnosis and treatment of the symptoms and not the cause.

Dr. David Kavanagh from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics said: “Foot and leg pain is very common

and can have a huge affect on your mobility and activity.

The problem is many don’t get their issues attended to effectively, either because they think nothing can be done, they don’t know who can assist them or have seen practitioners who have provided incorrect diagnosis, advice or inappropriate treatment.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics see many people who’ve been told nothing can be done for them or that surgery or medication are their only options, which is often not the case.

With correct diagnosis and utilising the very latest medical research and treatments they are able to treat most foot and leg pain quite easily, even cases that have been untreatable in the past.

They can even regenerate soft tissue and heal injuries thanks to new, natural injection therapies.

So don’t just put up with foot and leg pain, problems or injuries.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics have helped some of the world’s best athletes and thousands of people just like you!

Demons win in after-siren thriller NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RYE kicked a goal after the siren to steal victory from the jaws of defeat against Red Hill at RJ Rowley Reserve on Saturday in Nepean League football.

Trailing all afternoon, Rye recruit Jay Bruno kicked truly from 30 metres out from goal to give the Demons a 9.14 (68) to 10.6 (66) victory.

Despite centre half forward Aaron Findlay kicking the first goal of the game, at no other stage during the match were the Demons in front.

When Red Hill midfielder Benny Macguiness kicked a goal at the 15 minute mark of the last quarter, it appeared the Hillmen were going to continue their unbeaten run.

However, the undermanned Demons continued to pressure and harass, cause turnovers and hurt the Hillmen running the other way.

Rye went into the game without their coach Ben Holmes, as well as tagger Sam Smith and skipper Rhett Sutton.

They were significant outs.

Red Hill on the other hand were fully loaded. They were just cocky.

The Hill were smashed in contested footy and refused to work hard enough to defend. They were also unable to think their way through Rye’s full press.

Red Hill looked timid at times in comparison to Rye, looking for the easy outside ball. They also played cute footy when it was time to attack and put their heads over the footballl.

The Hillmen need to get back to basics, work hard and do the small things that can potentially make them a good side.

Rye were superb.

Michael Pudney came into the side, rucked for the large majority of it and was significant in the win.

Adam Kirkwood was the best player on the ground, setting things up from the back half, Matty Sibberas dominated on the wing, Findlay presented all afternoon with his four goals and Jai

Pies win in thriller: Crib Point came from behind to take the points form Hastings. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Lloyd provided enormous run from half back and through the middle.

Crib Point sits alone at the top of the Nepean League ladder after coming from behind to beat Hastings in a thriller.

In front of a massive crowd at Crib Point Recreation Reserve, the Magpies came from nine points down at three quarter time to beat their biggest rivals 15.15 (105) to 14.16 (100). The Pies are the only undefeated team in the competition.

Hastings led by as much as five goals at some stages throughout the match, however, injuries to key players cost them in the end.

Coach Brendan Dunne limped from the field early in the match with what appeared to be a knee injury, before returning and tearing a hamstring. Onballer Mick Haddad also appeared to

hurt his knee and didn’t play out the match.

Like last week against Dromana, the Pies came hard in the final quarter and hit the front late to steal victory.

Crib Point coach Duane Annable said his side “got out of jail” on Saturday.

“We didn’t play well at all and were lucky to win, really,” Annable said.

“We were very flat at training on Thursday night and it showed during the game at stages on Saturday.

“Injuries to a couple of key Hastings players certainly hurt them and we were able to take advantage of that in the end and run over the top of them.

“We’ve been up for a number of weeks now and we’ll need to freshen up and find that form again,” Annable said.

Zac Dekleuver and Dean Warry were dominant for the Magpies while Glenn Boyd and Jon Flack finished with three

goals each.

Dale Alanis booted four for the Blues, Justin Berry kicked three and Josh Mulheron played his best game for the club in a couple of seasons.

Dromana kicked two goals in 90 seconds to come from behind and beat Rosebud at Olympic Oval, 11.8 (74) to 8.17 (65).

Rosebud has now lost three games by under two goals; Rye by four points, Sorrento by seven points and now Dromana by nine points.

Paul Minchington put the Tigers in front with less than two minutes left in the match before Steven Gaertner took a contested mark and converted from 45 metres to give them an unbeatable lead with less than a minute left in the contest.

Prior to this, Rosebud had chances to ice the match, just like it did against

Sorrento the previous week.

Rosebud missed four set shots from less than 45 metres in the opening 15 minutes of the last quarter. They also got out to a 14 point lead at the 17 minute mark.

However, kicking with the breeze, the Tigers chipped away and got the job done.

Ash Waterstone was outstanding for the Tigers, as was Minchington, while Christian Ongarello and Dan Guerts were exceptional, especially when the game needed to be won. In a one on three situation at half back in the last quarter, Guerts won a contest which probably won the match for his side.

Pearcedale’s woes continued on Saturday, smashed to the tune of 125 points

by Sorrento.

Leigh Poholke booted nine goals and Kayle Stringer-Morris four while James Hallahan dominated.

Basil Sibosado was superb for the Panthers with five goals while Pat Cadd worked tirelessly.

Devon Meadows maintained their position in the top five with a 29-point win against Frankston Bombers.

The Panthers kicked away with a five goal second quarter and were never troubled after that, winning 15.12 (102) to 11.7 (73).

Steve McInnes booted six goals from the midfield for the Panthers while Heath Black finished with four. Chris Doria was outstanding over four quarters, as was Clint Walker.

Somerville was made to earn the four points against Tyabb, winning a tight one 14.13 (97) to 10.12 (72).

The Eagles led by 18 points at three quarter time, however, couldn’t shake the Yabbies after that, Tyabb booting eight goals to nine after the first change.

Eagles’ coach David Hirst booted four for the winners while Todd Farrelly finished with three.

Brothers Dylan and Jake Ryan were outstanding all afternoon for the Eagles.

Sharks bite back against YCW PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt BONBEACH got its season well and truly back on track on Saturday, coming from behind to beat Frankston YCW in Peninsula League football.

After trailing at every change throughout the match, Bonbeach booted 4.3 to one behind in the final quarter to beat the Stonecats 9.12 (66) to 6.11 (47).

It was a vital win for the Sharks. Had they lost the match, they would have slumped to one win from four matches.

Two wins and two losses now places them equal fifth on the ladder.

Coach Steve Capp agreed that it was a very important win.

“It was critical really,” Capp said.

“Sitting at 1-3 would have made things pretty tough for us in a very close competition.

“It is always pleasing to beat Frankston YCW because they are such a great side.

“It took us a while to get going but hopefully now with some players coming back into the team, we can build over the next month.”

Bonbeach welcomed six players into the side on Saturday, including their best player Shane McDonald, Anthony Raso,

PAGE 28

Frankston Times 5 May 2014

Travis Johnstone and Rob Horler.

“Not many people know about Rob because he broke his leg in 2012 but he can really play,” Capp said.

“We’ve been a bit light on in terms of our list in the first few weeks and it was nice to get a few of them back.

“It’s hard to be consistent when you are missing some of your best players and you tend to turn the footy over a bit more.

“It was a tough old game in ordinary conditions but to chip away and come from behind to win against a very good side was pleasing,” Capp said.

Shaun Foster booted two goals for the Sharks while Tyabb recruit Nick Waterstone was superb once again, along with Paul Rebeschini and Mark Tyrell.

Ashley Eames was YCW’s best, along with Anthony Totaro, who seems to have made the step from a very good reserves player to senior player.

Karingal has booted two goals in two games of footy in the past fortnight.

They have netted just 20 points in that time while the opposition (YCW and Edithvale) have booted 51.40 (336).

Everyone is aware of the tough task that the Bulls face each week. They lost 16 of their best 22 players in the off sea-

son, as well as another half a dozen players who were on the fringe or reasonable reserves players.

Of the five scoring shots the Bulls had on Saturday against Edithvale, four of them came in the first 20 minutes of the match.

After that, the Eagles kicked 19 goals to one to win 23.20 (158) to 1.4 (10).

There is no question that Stephen Coats has the toughest job in Peninsula League footy.

He has inherited a list that just isn’t capable of being competitive.

However, regardless of the challenges, Coats is prepared to tackle them head-on.

“It is a very tough task at the office at the moment,” Coats said.

“Of the 20 players capable of playing at senior level, we are missing about six of them at the moment. That makes it pretty tough.

“The players coming into the side are having a crack but we just can’t get any consistency from them. Against the good sides, we just can’t sustain things long enough.

“As a footy club, we all just need to keep working hard, from the president down.

“We need to stick fast and rebuild.

We’ll be a better club when we come out the other side,” Coats said.

Jarrod Garth booted six goals on Saturday for the Eagles while Mark Mullins and Todd Woodbridge were outstanding.

Langwarrin had 33 scoring shots to Chelsea’s 12 on Saturday but could only manage a 76-point win.

The Kangas booted 1.8 in the first quarter and wasted opportunities, however, still managed a 16.17 (113) to 5.7 (37) victory.

Aaron Shaw and Jimmy Johnson kicked four goals each for the winners while Beau Muston finished with three.

Eighteen-year-old Ash Collins with two goals played his best senior game while Rikki Johnson provided plenty of drive and leadership from the back half.

Curtis Bywater, playing against his old club, played his best game for Chelsea in two seasons.

Mt Eliza did a major number on Pines, thrashing the red, white and green 20.13 (133) to 9.12 (66).

In only his fourth senior game, Jordan Moncrief booted seven goals for the Redlegs, while Darren Booth enjoyed his change of role from the backline, booting three along with Matty Dunne.

Rohan Heasley, one of the best players in the competition, was best on field for the second week in a row.

Adam Maling and Gideon Symon were the best of the Piners, while Jake Prosser was back to his best in his second week back.

Mornington came from four points down at three quarter time to snatch an eight point victory against Seaford.

The Tigers have been stiff this season and could have set up a win had they converted better in the opening quarter (3.8 to 1.1).

However, when the game was there to be won, the Doggies’ recruits really stood up, showed leadership and class and got their team over the line.

Dale Nolan finished with four goals playing as a key forward and dominated, Michael Gay took control in the ruck and Danny Nolan combined beautifully in the middle with Gay and had a significant impact.

Dylan Crump and Luke Smith were the best of the Tigers, along with Trae Tohiariki.

Dolphs, Tigers fight out Anzac Day draw

By Paulo Kennedy IT was a game of two incredible halves on ANZAC Day as the Dolphins and Richmond put on a show to remember for the 3000-strong crowd at Frankston Park.

On a perfect day, the Tigers charged to a 45-point lead late in the second quarter, giving the home team a lesson in how to play the long and narrow Frankston ground.

Richmond repeatedly marched through the centre, kicking short and playing on quickly in the midfield before delivering with precision to their forwards.

Former Dolphins Aaron Edwards and Luke Collins were both standouts for the visitors, while the height of Ty Vickery, Ryan Bathie and Liam McBean was causing all sorts of problems up forward.

For the Dolphins, newcomers Tim Harper and Ben Cavarra were providing a much-needed steadying influence around the ground, while Pines veteran Luke Potts was rebounding strongly from defence.

But the result appeared a foregone conclusion until a brilliant mark and goal from Damien Garner moments before half-time sparked Frankston, who emerged from half-time a new team.

With Russ Gabriel dominant in the ruck, roved superbly by Shane Hockey and Leigh Kitchin, the home team brought the crowd to life with a fierce display of tackling and direct football, charging to within 15 points late in the third quarter.

But Vickery answered with a sixpointer from Vickery and Edwards – who kicked 100 goals for the Dolphins in 2006 – showed he still knows where the Frankston Park sticks are with the goal of the day from the boundary.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

Trailing by 28 points at the last change the home team refused to give in, Gabriel, Hockey and Kitchin inspirational as the atmosphere turned electric.

Down back the Newman brothers from Mornington – Nic and Josh – were standing firm as the Tigers struggled to make any inroads and Frankston rebounded with speed.

Goals to Khan Haretuku and Mike Lourey were followed by narrow misses from Zig Alwan and Jackson Coleman, but the Dolphins crept ever-

closer as they locked the ball in their half.

A clever Cavarra chip just eluded the grasp of Shannon Taylor running into an open goal, but from the ensuing boundary throw-in Harper snapped brilliantly from a Haretuku hit-out to tie the scores 31 minutes into the final term.

Frankston bolted forward from the restart and bottled the ball up 25 metres from goal. Again Haretuku produced some ruck magic, hitting Kitchin on the chest who immediately sent the Sherrin goal-ward.

The crowd held their breath, but a desperate Tiger hand thwarted Frankston’s hopes with a matchsaving smother moments before the final siren sounded.

It was a game for the ages and the first of many ANZAC Day clashes to come at Frankston Park. Shane Hockey (Frankston) and Anthony Miles (Richmond) were named the ANZAC Day medallists.

Chance or coincidence?

FRANKSTON and Richmond have met only twice since the old VFA/VFL merged with the AFL Reserves for the 2000 season, and literally nothing has separated them.

In Round 14, 2000 the two teams met at Frankston Park, with the Tigers taking a 42-point lead into half-time before the home side surged home to force a draw.

Last Friday, 5053 days later at the same venue, Richmond led by 45 points late in the second term before Frankston again staged a remarkable fightback which ended in another tie.
