Mentone Hotel ‘saved’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au MUSIC, drinks and food will be on the menu at the Mentone Hotel again after a compromise deal agreed to include a bar in a redevelopment of the historic building. The plan to convert the hotel to apartments without a substantial food and drinks offering was set to go to VCAT after a three-and-a-half-year

battle by the Save The Edgy community group after the venue was bought from Open Door Pub Co by Momentum Developments in late 2014. Developer Paul Huggins agreed last week to include a 416-square metre pub on the ground floor of the main building, more than double a previously offered 227 square metre space. Kingston mayor Cr Steve Staikos welcomed the last-minute compromise that avoided a costly Victorian Civil

and Administrative Tribunal hearing. Ratepayers would have footed the bill for any council representation at the tribunal. Council had previously refused a planning permit for the proposal featuring the smaller pub space. “The Mentone Hotel will now be restored featuring a significant hospitality space to ensure the public can continue to enjoy the beautiful historic building,” Cr Staikos said.

“It’s great news that the developer has agreed to increase the public hospitality area and can now get to work on restoring the building and opening its doors to the community once more.” The mayor said a planning permit will now be issued for 26 dwellings within the main hotel building and a separate new complex at the 95 Beach Road address. Apartments will be built in the sepa-

rate new building complex to be constructed on the site of the hotel’s former car park. The Edgy’s facade and an internal staircase must be preserved under state heritage laws. It is understood up to 400 patrons will be able to enjoy music and drinks at the venue between 7am-1am each day of the week under the terms of a new planning permit. Continued page 2

Pub up at hotel Continued from page 1 Save The Edgy spokesman Chris Hill thanked Mr Huggins for “being so generous with his time” over the past three years in trying to find a way to include a pub in the development. “The revised plans will now include 26 dwellings in total, with three fewer apartments within the heritage building in order to make way for the new hospitality space,” Mr Hill said in a Facebook post. “Given the original plans for a four-storey development on the site would have incorporated 68 dwellings in total, we feel the agreement reached with the owner far better reflects the wishes of our community and will ensure the Mentone Hotel will continue to be an attraction for people far and wide for years to come.” Mr Hill also thanked Kingston councillors Tamara Barth, David Eden, Georgina Oxley, Steve Staikos and Rosemary West who “have remained steadfast in their support of the community’s campaign to ensure a significant publicly accessible hospitality space is incorporated within the new development”.

Music fest hits new note KINGSTON’S Harvest Festival will not bloom this year but the show will go on in the new name of Carrum Beats and Eats. Council has decided to mark the “music, food and fun” festival’s return to Carrum in May with a name change. The festival was held in Chelsea for the past two years during construction works on the Carrum Family and Children’s Centre. “The community was clear they wanted to host an event in Carrum and we wanted to showcase the local atmosphere in the event’s new name,” Kingston mayor Cr Steve Staikos said. “We are proud to be back at Roy Dore and although it’s now a smaller space we’ll be presenting a great line-up of music across two stages including headline performers Wilbur Wilde and the Trouble Makers. The community can also enjoy roving performers, food and drink stalls, all-day entertainment and plenty of family-friendly activities to keep the kids happy. “We’re looking forward to a fantastic day back at Roy Dore Reserve to bring our community together for a day of music, food and fun.” Carrum Beats and Eats will be held at Carrum’s Roy Dore Reserve on Saturday 12 May, midday-9.30pm. Entry is $2 per person, $5 for families. No BYO alcohol or animals allowed. See kingston.vic.gov.au or call 1300 653 356 for more details.

CEO’s salary rises slightly KINGSTON Council’s chief executive officer John Nevins has seen his annual pay rise by 1.5 per cent to more than $380,000 after a performance review. The mayor Cr Steve Staikos confirmed the salary increase, in line Kingston Council CEO with the annual John Nevins consumer price index, colloquially known as “the cost of living”, when asked by The News. The annual review was listed as a matter to be considered by councillors in the confidential section of the March council meeting agenda. It was discussed behind closed doors by councillors as is customary when finalising council personnel matters. Cr Staikos said an independent facilitator helped review the CEO’s performance in line with the council chief’s employment contract. “The results of the review are confidential, however, it did not include any changes to the CEO’s existing four-year contract, which is due to expire on 8 November 2018,” the mayor said. “Council will now consider whether to extend the contract by up to 12-months, offer a new contract or elect not to extend or renew the contract. “The annual review included a salary increase of 1.5 per cent, in-line with CPI, bringing the CEO’s annual remuneration to $382,270. Kingston Council does not provide any additional bonuses under the CEO contract.” Mr Nevins was appointed Kingston Council CEO in 2005. Neil Walker

Homes detoxed REMOVING dangerous chemicals from Kingston homes has seen 3309kg of materials handed in to Victoria’s Detox Your Home program. Just under 14.5 tonnes of dangerous chemicals were taken out of homes in March. “Dangerous material from around 500 households was brought in on an extremely wet Melbourne Saturday. Just over half had not been to a Detox Your Home event before,” Sustainability Victoria CEO Stan Krpan said. So far this year, 27.3 tonnes of dangerous chemicals, such as household cleaning products, engine oil, herbicides and pesticides, have been collected at seven locations in Melbourne and regional Victoria. In 2017, Victorians handed in more than 69 tonnes of chemicals at Detox Your Home collection sites across the state. “Hanging-on to old and out-of-date chemicals is dangerous for children and pets, packaging can be damaged or fail and create dangers to your property, neighbours and the wider community,” Mr Krpan said. There are restrictions on the types and volumes of materials that can be taken to Detox Your Home events. “If you don’t know what to do with old chemicals, batteries, fluorescent tubes, paint and other dangerous goods contact your council or Sustainability Victoria,” Mr Krpan said. “You don’t have to live in a municipality in which a Detox Your Home Collection is being held, however bookings are essential for some sites.” See sustainability.vic.gov.au or call 1300 363 744 for drop-off location details.

Dogs beach buddies in winter months COLDER weather means foreshore winter dog restrictions are now in force until 31 October, allowing more time for dogs to be exercised on Kingston’s beaches. All dogs must be on a leash until they reach the sand area and must remain under effective control at all times. “We’re incredibly lucky in Kingston to have 13km of beautiful foreshore to enjoy,” Kingston mayor Cr Steve Staikos said. “The different zones along our beaches mean people can enjoy the coast in a way that suits them -- some people want to let their dog run free while others, particularly families with young children, may prefer not to interact with dogs.” Cr Staikos said the zones are clearly signed at each section of the beach. “My schnoodle Pepper loves running off-lead - especially at the beach - but I understand it’s my responsibility to keep her clear of people who just want to enjoy the environment and to make sure I clean up after her.” From April, dogs must be on a leash between 11am and 3pm at: n Mentone, Parkdale and Mordialloc (Plummer Road, Mentone to Bay Street, Mordialloc) n Aspendale, Edithvale, Chelsea, Bonbeach and Carrum (Mordialloc Creek to McLeod Rd, Carrum). The 24-hour dog off-leash beaches are still active at: n Mentone (northern end of the beach from Charman Road to Plummer Road) n Carrum (southern end of the

beach from Old Post Office Lane to Osprey Lane). Dogs are not allowed at any time in the “no-dog zone” designated between Bay Street and Mordialloc Pier. The no-dog zone includes the sand, foreshore reserve and the Peter Scullin Reserve. Owners must carry a plastic or pa-

With Neil Walker

Uninvited guest’s ride POLICE are appealing for witnesses to an alleged carjacking at The Gateway Shopping Centre in Langwarrin last Sunday (8 April). A man, 28, got into the passenger seat of a dark green Holden ute in the carpark of the shopping centre at about 6.45pm on the Sunday evening. The 20-year-old driver was forced to drive off and got out of the 2013 model ute about five minutes later. He did not suffer any injuries. The vehicle was spotted in Langwarrin, Cranbourne and Clyde before being found dumped in Cranbourne. A Cranbourne man was arrested over the alleged carjacking and is on remand. Senior Constable Nicholas Jung, of Frankston’s Crime Investigations Unit, would like to hear from any witnesses to the alleged carjacking or the ute’s movements in the hours after the incident.

Giant spider crabs time their run for safety HUNDREDS of thousands of giant spider crabs are about to begin their annual migration into the sandy shallows at Rye and Blairgowrie. The armada of orange crabs arrives as the bay’s waters begin to cool in May and stays until July. Marine biologist Sheree Marris said that, as the name suggests, these crabs are massive, with long spindly legs and bodies up to 17cm wide. “They move in organised chaos on eight long legs,” she said. “Their weapons are swollen claws and their mission is to seek shelter in the safety of the shallows, moult and, in some cases, mate.” Ms Marris said that, like most crustaceans, the crabs’ hard armour protected them but didn’t allow them to grow. “They need to get rid of the old armour and grow a bigger one,” she said. The crabs secrete an enzyme that separates the old shell from the underlying skin, while a new soft paper-like shell grows beneath the old one. They then absorb seawater and swell up, causing the old shell to open up like a lid allowing the crab to extract itself. “Once one crab starts to moult it sets off a chain reaction and the rest of the orange-clad army moult almost simultaneously,” Ms Marris said. “Moulting allows the crabs to grow and helps rid them of parasites and other animals growing on their shells, including bacteria that can weaken and erode their protective uniform.” It is thought that by aggregating and moulting together, the crabs have less chance of getting eaten: it’s a simple case of safety in numbers. However, during this moulting process, the soft crabs are vulnerable to the mouths of hungry hunters. Stephen Taylor

Parties unite over power Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au THE Port of Hastings is being seen as an integral link in supplying liquid hydrogen to Japan. The hydrogen, produced from brown coal in the Latrobe Valley, will go overseas while the CO2 released in the process is planned to be stored under the Gippsland Basin using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. Details of a $496 million four-year pilot project announced last Thursday (12 April) have been hailed by both the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Premier Daniel Andrews. However, even if the pilot is successful, full scale exports of hydrogen will not start until sometime after 2030. The project has seen the federal Liberal-National and Victorian Labor governments pledge $100 million for the $496 million pilot project. The rest of the money will come from a Japanese government-led business consortium of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, J-Power, Iwatani Corporation and Marubeni. Under the HESC (Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain) plan announced last week hydrogen gas will be trucked to a plant at Hastings to be liquefied (by “super cooling”) and loaded onto a ship to be taken to Kobe, Japan. The process is the reverse of that planned by AGL which wants to have a floating LNG terminal at Crib Point

AN artist’s impression of the liquid hydrogen- to-gas plant planned at Hastings. The state and federal governments have agreed to put $100 million towards a four-year pilot program extracting hydrogen from brown coal at the Loy Yang power station in the Latrobe Valley. The gas will be shipped from Hastings to Japan while the unwanted CO2 emissions are stored underground in the Latrobe Valley.

to convert gas imports. Mr Turnbull said it was “amazing to think that brown coal from Victoria is going to be keeping the lights on in Japan". Kawasaki has estimated hydrogen from brown coal reserves in the Latrobe Valley could power Japan for 240 years. The timeline outlined in the HESC would see work start next year on constructing the “pilot facilities” with operations beginning in 2020 and run for about one year. A decision on the plan’s commercial viability would be made “in the 2020s”

with actual production “targeted in the 2030s depending on the successful completion of the pilot phase, regulatory approvals, social licence to operate and hydrogen demand”. However, reservations are being expressed despite the predictions of jobs at Hastings and in the Latrobe Valley and hydrogen from brown coal making Australia a major player in the world’s energy supply network. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Hugh Fraser, a keen advocate of lowering emissions that effect climate change, says the capture of carbon and its disposal “remains problematic

and appears to have conveniently and glibly been put to one side as a future problem to solve”. A brochure distributed at the same time as the announcement by the prime minister said CCS (carbon capture and storage) would not be part of the pilot program “due to the low volumes of CO2 involved, equivalent to the annual emissions of about 20 cars”. “As such, [Mornington Peninsula Shire] council would have very good reason to ensure that its policy commitment to carbon neutrality is not breached and council ought to be very concerned that this project does not add to the carbon footprint within the shire,” Cr Fraser said. Karri Giles of Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council said the hydrogen proposal was “unwelcome”. “Four industrial processes, two journeys and the wrecking of Western Port by dredging and marine pests makes this hydrogen power source for Japan definitely not green or clean,” she said. “It must be one of the least efficient power sources ever dreamt up, and certainly one of the most expensive. [Kawasaki in 2017] told us they were looking for a partnership with the Victorian government and, sure enough, this week our governments have announced a spend of $100 million on the trial alone.” Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess last year accused the state government of signing a “secret deal” with Kawasaki Heavy Industries that could

lead to “long coal trains or a coal slurry pipe bringing huge amounts of coal to Hastings, building of a huge coal gasification plant at Hastings and the produced hydrogen being shipped through Western Port” (“Secret deal for toxic plan – MP” The Times 23/1/17) Mr Burgess said he had been turned away from a meeting between the Port of Hastings Development Authority and Kawasaki executives. Afterwards, in an email, the authority’s chief financial officer Mark O’Donnell said he had been advised “that if a member for parliament is seeking any information in relation to the Port of Hastings Development Authority they should direct their inquiry to the Minister for Ports [Luke Donnellan]”. Mr Burgess’s strong stance last year against the plant being located anywhere in Western Port contrasted with that of his federal Liberal colleague, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, who only ruled out “reindustrialisation” at Crib Point. Mr Hunt said in January 2017 that he was “utterly opposed” to Western Port being used as a coal port “and I have made it clear that Crib Point should not be reindustrialised for hydrogen or bitumen”. Mr Hunt said he knew of discussions between the state and Kawasaki but “as far as I am aware, at this stage no decisions have been made as to the port they will use”.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Catastrophic Squeegee Confrontation By Stuart McCullough BEFORE I knew what was happening it was too late. I waved my arms, I called out, I pulled a face that sat somewhere between alarm and despair, but it was to no avail. He had started and he wasn’t going to stop. There was no turning back. He was going to press on regardless. Having reached the point of no return, there was little I could do other than make sure the doors were locked and hope that the lights would change. Call it an over-reaction; I simply didn’t want anyone to clean my windscreen. Ordinarily, I’m all over it. Within two hundred metres of an intersection, I’m surveying the landscape, trying to spot anyone holding a squeegee and a water bottle. They can be awfully hard to catch sight of and I’m sure some of them use camouflage, but I’d like to think I have my eye in. Once seen, I make sure I do everything I can short of getting out of the car and draping myself across the bonnet to clearly communicate to my squeegee-wielding friend that – no – I do not want my windscreen washed. It starts with the hands, which are raised, fingers splayed and moving in opposite directions, to indicate that anyone thinking of trying to clean my windscreen should desist instantly from advancing on my car. Then there’s the dramatic pantomimeinspired shake of the head and the mouthing of the word ‘no’ such that a lip reader in outer space could easily get the gist of what I’m attempting to communicate. I’d like to think I was unambiguous. ‘Move on’ is all I’m really trying to say. ‘Find someone who

will be appreciate your skills more than I will.’ To succeed, however, you have to do all these things before they’ve already started. I don’t know where he came from. I was giving a work colleague a lift and we were chatting away – as you do – when we pulled up at a set of lights and he simply appeared. It

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 18 April 2018

wasn’t until he spread across the glass like a gigantic insect that I saw him, at which point it was way too late. I didn’t see him as he was coming. For all I know, he dropped out of the sky – such was the degree of surprise I felt when he appeared. But before I knew what was going on, he was right in front of me.

It began with a squirt of what I assumed to be detergent-laced water. It was all over the glass and, suddenly, he was furiously wiping away. I yelled ‘no’, waved my hands and did pretty much everything other than sound the horn (which I feared might seem overly aggressive) to make it clear that he should stop. But there was no stopping him. Instead, he yelled out something about me not having to pay. Which, in turn, made me feel slightly guilty. It wasn’t clear to me whether he was attempting to show off his skills to other motorists in the hope of drawing more business or whether he saw my windscreen and felt sorry for me. I’m not ashamed to say that I often have a dirty windscreen. I don’t know how it happens – it simply does. It’s not as though I take my sedan off-road or toss buckets of dirt over my car. Life itself seems to ensure that my windscreen has something of a natural tint about it. I’m not proud of it. Rather, I simply have come to accept that’s how things are. It would be a sad state of affairs if I started cleaning my windscreen more often to reduce the risk of being accosted at traffic lights. Modern cars are nothing short of amazing. My first car was a Daihatsu Charade and the only thing it did automatically was stop working. The car I drive these days has a dazzling array of automatic functions. The lights, the stereo and – somewhat unfortunately – the windscreen wipers, all operate automatically. At the merest hint of moisture, the windscreen wipers lurch into action. It’s incredibly impres-

sive and would make my Daihatsu Charade weep with envy. I don’t have to do anything other than keep out of their way. Sadly, the man cleaning my windscreen wasn’t to know this. As the wipers launched upwards, the man leaning on my bonnet jumped back, yelling ‘hey’ and casting a glance at me that can only be described as deeply hostile. Clearly, he thought that I had turned the wipers on to spite him. Instead, much like the computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey, these things had a mind of their own and couldn’t be stopped. I lifted my hands in an attempt to prove to him that it wasn’t me, but I suspect he interpreted this as a kind of ‘look Mum, no hands!’ style humblebrag. Then it happened a second time and began to think that my squeegeewielding friend was about to peel away the windscreen and throttle me. As the lights changed to green, I wasted no time in getting out of there. In retrospect, I probably should have waited until he’d dismounted from my bonnet before accelerating. In fact, I was so flustered it wasn’t until I was halfway home that I realized he was still attached to the front of the car. I had pulled at another set of lights when – out of nowhere – a guy with a squeegee appeared and pointed to the other bloke and said, ‘Would you like me to clean this?’ I wound down the window, handed over my wallet and simply said, ‘thanks’. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

WHAT’S NEW...

George’s Marvellous Medicine WHAT starts as just another boring day for George quickly turns into a marvellous experiment of epic proportions! Cleverly adapted from the much-loved book by Roald Dahl, George’s Marvellous Medicine bounds off the page in a spectacular live show for the whole family. On a good day, George can’t stand his Grandma. She complains all the time, she’s mean and she smells funny. On this particular day, Grandma is much more annoying than usual and George has had enough. “George – make me a cup of tea! George – rub my feet! George – stop growing!” Ugh. Wanting to put an end to her constant nagging, George creates a special medicine, greater than any medicine in the history of the world. What he doesn’t expect is that this medicine may actually work – just not in the way he thinks... The award-winning team behind the multi-Helpmann Award nominated Australian production of Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes & Dirty Beasts brings you this brand-new stage adaptation from the wacky mind of the World’s No. 1 Storyteller. Direct from a sold-out season at the Sydney Opera House, George’s Marvellous Medicine is packed to the rafters with mischief, music, magic and giant laughs. Just remember – do not try this at home!

Stonecats all alone on top

DIVISION ONE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW sits alone at the top of the MPNFL Division One ladder after beating Bonbeach in miserable conditions, 6.11 (47) to 4.8 (32), at the John Coburn Oval on Saturday. The Stonecats took full advantage of the wind conditions in the opening quarter, booting 3.2 (20) to 1.0 (6), before holding off Bonbeach in the last quarter, restricting the Sharks to one goal only. The game was played in typical YCW vs Bonbeach fashion, leaving no room for players who fail to put their head over the footy. Jai Coglan and Paul Minchington for the Stonecats while BJ Credlin was arguably the best player on the ground. Darcy James, Ben Hogan and Matt Douglas were the best for the Sharks. Edithvale-Aspendale remains in touch with the top five despite trailing all day against Mornington. The Eagles trailed at every change before booting two goals seven to one behind in the final term to win 5.13 (43) to 4.9 (33). A good effort considering the player points breach against Bonbeach a couple of weeks ago which saw them lose their points and percentage for that game. In terms of the Doggies, they would have been shattered with their final quarter performance. Its second quarter they booted just five behinds and really could have set up a victory. It was great to see Brett O’Hanlon back at his best while Liam Harris and Michael Meehan were also catalysts in the victory. Frankston Bombers celebrated a powerful victory against Seaford on Saturday winning at home 7.12 (54) to 4.4 (28). The reality is the margin should have been a lot more given the Bombers had 19 scoring shots to just

eight, not to mention the Bombers restricted Seaford to a single goal in three quarters of footy. Ryan Marks-Logan was named the best player on the ground while Ben Northover once again proved what a handy recruit he has been with another outstanding performance. David and Ben Howlett were the best of the Tigers while Aaron Walton rarely lets his team down. Pines finally registered its account and moved straight into sixth place on the ladder with its first win of the season against Mt Eliza, winning 13.5 (83) to 8.12 (60). In a high scoring and entertaining clash, the game marked the return of the all important, and arguably the league’s best player, Aaron Edwards. Aaron was one of four Pines players to boot multiple goals while dominant mid fielder Paul Scanlon and Corey Ash were instrumental in the win. For Mt Eliza, who lead at half time, Lachlan Young was named best while the returning Kyle Docherty and Blaine Coates were also solid performers. Sorrento overcame a slow start and booted nine goals to two after quarter time to beat Rosebud by 30 points 11.15 (81) to 6.15 (51). Sorrento have now won two games on the trot and it was the familiar names that got them over the line on Saturday. Chris Dawes booted four goals up front while Leigh Poholke and James Tomkins booted two goals each, James Brigden and James Hallohan were among their best. While there were some names missing for the Sharks there were some new faces who stepped up to the plate. Sean and Keegan Downie were Rosebud’s best along with Fletcher Hustwaite and the important Greg Bentley.

Yabbies drown when it counts DIVISION TWO

By Toe Punt TYABB conceded the final six goals of the game to lose in a nail biter against Hastings in round two of MPNFL Division Two football on Saturday. Tyabb was cruising to victory against premiership fancy Hastings, leading at three quarter time 8.8 (56) to 3.3 (22). Nothing looked like stopping the Yabbies at that stage of the game. Hastings on the other hand had selfbelief. They also had the advantage of the wind. Taylor Stratton got the ball rolling for the Blues at the seven minute mark of the last quarter before a mini avalanche from the 20 minute mark saw the Blues hit the front. Dale Alanis and Luke Hewitt were instrumental in the win for the Blues, Hewitt finishing with three majors. Brendan Doyle and Simon Rahilly were the best for the Yabbies. After more than 120 minutes of football nothing could separate Langwarrin and Red Hill at Lloyd Park on Saturday. Virtually nothing separated the sides all afternoon, with the shocking weather not favouring either team. One could argue that Langwarrin

PAGE 16

should have won the match given they had 14 scoring shots to nine, however the scoreboard read Langwarrin 5.9 (39) to 6.3 (39) at games end. Red Hill’s Ben Hughes locked the game up with less than two minutes on the clock to play. Dromana once again proved its going to be right there when the whips are cracking come finals time after beating Devon Meadows 14.12 (96) to 8.9 (57). Leading by just eight points at three quarter time Dromana put their foot down with the aide of the breeze to run out easy winners. Boom recruit Ben Holmes was instrumental in their win with a four goal best on ground performance while Terry Wheeler and Josh Bateman were also major players in the victory. For the Panthers Cal O’Hare, Mat Fletcher and Pat Harmes were shining lights. In the battle of the hoops Chelsea were able to overcome a slow start beating Pearcedale by 28 points, 11.11 (77) to 6.13 (49). Chelsea trailed by one point at three quarter time but five goals from Curtis Bywater and a best on ground performance from Todd Gardiner ensured they picked up the vital four points.

Karingal maintained its undefeated run knocking over Rye at Rye by 28 points, 12.12 (84) to 7.14 (56). The Bulls got away to a flier and lead by 19 points at the first change setting themselves up for the victory. The strength of the Bulls so far this season has been due to its many contributors, especially around goal, where it had ten goal kickers on Saturday. Steve McInnes, Andrew Mathers and Blake Simpson with two gaols were key players in the victory. Tom Baker was again named best for Rye along with Leigh Morse and Jai Lloyd. With a very new looking list Rye may take a little more time to gel and play their best footy. Crib Point showed off their new lights on Saturday night against Somerville in an outstanding initiative for the club and competition. Like all clubs, the Magpies are looking for new ways to raise revenue and night footy is a wonderful way to achieve that. Unfortunately for the Pies there wasn’t enough to get excited about on the field, beaten 16.10 (106) to 6.13 (49). The Eagles blew Crib point away with a nine goal to one third quarter. Somerville’s Billy Rolfe was a stand out in the match with a game high six goals.

Eagles fly high, Baxter breaks through SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SOMERVILLE Eagles continued their winning ways in State 5 South with a 3-1 win over Aspendale at Tyabb Central Recreation Reserve on Saturday. Eagles’ player-coach Dave Greening refuses to discuss the club’s promotion chances but his side is doing its talking out on the pitch and now boasts a perfect start to the season. Somerville flew out of the blocks and dominated the first half-hour before a superb ball down the line from Sam Beadle found Greening. The ace striker twisted and turned past two opponents before firing a shot at goal which was parried to Louis Griffiths who tucked it away from close range for the opener. Andy Yeo, Joel Wade and Griffiths went close again before a brilliant through ball from Bjorn Kutschera found Greening who outpaced the defence then struck a left-foot shot beyond the keeper to give the home side a two-goal cushion at half-time. The second half was a lot more competitive although Michael Clark, Greening, Griffiths and Matt Swanson had chances to extend the lead. A superb lob by Aspendale striker Cameron Pain in the 74th minute gave Eagles’ keeper Brad Klarenbeek no chance and ensured a tense finale. But Greening eased the home club’s fears when he burst past three defenders to finish beyond the keeper from a tight angle. Oh how Mornington would love to emulate Somerville’s start to the season. Adam Jamieson’s side started its campaign as State 1 South-East title favourite but after three straight losses now is on the bottom of the league and in desperate need of a win at Elwood Park next Saturday against fellow struggler St Kilda. Despite holding visitor Richmond to a 0-0 scoreline after playing against a howling gale in the first half at Dallas Brooks Park last weekend the home team eventually went down 2-1. Two superb crosses bent into the wind by Sam Reeves gave Mornington its best chances in the opening 45 minutes but neither Andre Bennett nor Curtis Hutson could make them count. Richmond keeper Ferran Borras suffered a hand injury in the 25th minute and after a lengthy delay was replaced by Ilhan Somertas. Richmond’s best chance of the half came in the 43rd minute when Arnold Suew played a one-two and charged into the right side of the box only to

shoot across Mornington keeper Liam Little and wide of the far post. When Max Etheridge got the decisive touch and broke the deadlock in the 48th minute Mornington was in a commanding position with the wind roaring at its back. And if Sammy Orritt’s acrobatic volley had been on target a few minutes later then it could have been game over. But Richmond showed tremendous character to claw its way back into the contest and a spectacularly effective rabona from gifted playmaker Edgar Marcellino in the 67th minute took everyone by surprise. Everyone except former Mornington central midfielder Chris Reid who had snuck into the box and his low strike past Little was met by youngster Charlie Parker whose sliding attempt to clear sent the ball over the goal line for the equaliser. Parker was to play an important part in the decisive moment of the contest when his tackle from behind felled Elisio Batista inside the area in the 87th minute and left referee Patrick Chaplin with no choice but to point to

the spot. Marcellino converted by sending Little the wrong way and completing Richmond’s comeback. Fears of three red cards for Mornington in as many weeks looked founded when Jamie Cumming scythed down Batista two minutes later but Cumming escaped with a caution. Mornington veteran Wayne Gordon came off the bench in the dying minutes but didn’t have enough time to make an impact. The last thing Skye United expected when it started its 2018 State 3 SouthEast campaign was to be pointless after three rounds but that is the reality that Billy Armour’s side faces after Saturday’s 2-0 away loss to league leader South Yarra. Skye has only scored once in three games, an alarming statistic given the club’s expectations after a robust recruiting drive in the off-season. Ronan Kelly gave South Yarra a half-time lead and a second-half strike from Elvis Imarhiagbe settled the issue. Skye is third-bottom and is at home on Saturday to second-bottom Dingley

Stars so a win is a must. Dylan Waugh’s late goal for Seaford United was little consolation after a disappointing performance on Saturday against Bayside Argonauts. For the Cheltenham-based visitor it was soon mission accomplished and they travelled back up Nepean Highway with three points and a hefty goal difference after a 7-1 rout of the home team. Seaford has quickly established itself as the leading relegation candidate in State 3 South-East and travels to fifth-placed Whitehorse United next weekend. In State 4 South Baxter kick-started its 2018 season with a Travis Ernsdoerfer hat-trick in a 6-1 thrashing of Dandenong Warriors at Lois Twohig Reserve on Saturday. The visitors took control of this clash after eight minutes with an Ernsdoerfer strike from the left and a Dan Disseldorp header from a long ball into the box by Matt Morgan later in the half saw Baxter leading 2-0 at the interval. Five minutes into the second half a Michael Bowen header made it 2-1 but

the home side’s hopes were shattered soon after when Izaak Barr met a loose ball and from 25 metres sent a screamer into the top corner to make it 3-1. Ernsdoerfer withstood a challenge inside the area and blasted the ball high into the net to make it 4-1 then Baxter substitute Joe Iline calmly nutmegged the keeper to make it 5-1 in the 88th minute. Ernsdoerfer rounded off a great day for himself and his team with a low left-foot strike from the edge of the box in the 90th minute to complete the whitewash. In NPL2 East news Langwarrin’s excellent start to the season continued when Gus Macleod’s outfit came away from Churchill Reserve with a 0-0 draw against NPL2 West league leader St Albans Saints in their crossover clash on Sunday. Langy came closest in the first half when a Callum Goulding strike from outside the area struck the post and referee Dean Stafrace waved away loud appeals for a penalty after Langy striker Liam Baxter went down inside the area. Langy’s under-20s lost 3-1 with teenager Zach Karolidis making it two goals in two days after scoring from a stunning free-kick the previous day in the under-18s victory over Murray United at Albury-Wodonga. In NPLW news Southern United lost 11-0 away to Geelong Galaxy United on Saturday. Southern’s U12s won 8-1 with goals from Chiara Taylor, Eden McKeown (2), Leah Plavljanic, Jasmine Smith, Rhiannon Kelleher, Kayla McLeod and Savanah Lapenta. Southern’s under-14s won 4-1 with goals from Alex Jones, Rhys McKenna, Alessandra Davis and Candy Kilderry, the under-16s lost 3-1 with Monique Lapenta scoring for Southern while the under-19s lost 1-0. Here are next weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: Langwarrin v Eastern Lions (Lawton Park), St Kilda v Mornington (Elwood Park), Frankston Pines v Old Scotch (Monterey Reserve), Skye Utd v Dingley Stars (Skye Recreation Reserve), Whitehorse Utd v Seaford Utd (Terrara Park), Baxter v Noble Park (Baxter Park), Old Mentonians v Somerville Eagles (Mentone Grammar Senior School).

Freedman purchases ‘colt of the year’ By Ben Triandafillou PINECLIFF-based racehorse trainer Anthony Freedman purchased the full-brother to his dual-Group One winning filly Shoals at the Inglis Easter Yearling sales on Wednesday 11 April for a sale-topping $2.3 million. Freedman, who has stables at Flemington and Pinecliff in Mt Eliza, knows all too well the potential talent that runs through the family bloodlines of broodmare, The Broken Shore, with the mares first foal Shoals claiming her second Group One victory in Sydney last month. Freedman didn’t want the colt slipping through his fingers and said knowing the family as well as he does gave him the confidence to purchase the colt at lot 400 for the multi-million dollar price. “I didn’t want to walk away without having a good crack at buying him,” Freedman said. “You have to pay for these colts. I thought he was the colt of the year. He’s very much like his sister but bigger and stronger, so it gave me the confidence to go to that sort of money. “It’s a lot of money but it’s the best family in this country and probably the southern hemisphere, and colts like that are hard to get.” Freedman was given the first two foals by Fastnet Rock out of The Broken Shore to

train by bloodstock heavyweights John Messara and Pinecliff-owner Jonathan Munz. The first foal, Shoals, has gone on to stamp herself as one of the top three-year-old milers in Australia with the second filly, Tides, being unraced. Freedman now has three of the siblings under his care and the way things are going at the moment Messara thinks the trend is likely to continue. “We gave him the first two fillies and I think he’ll buy the rest,” he said. “Tides is

heading for a listed race in Queensland to start in six to eight weeks. If she’s able to get black-type, the mother will have two-fortwo.” Messara confirmed that Arrowfield Stud had purchased 25 percent of the colt and said, “He just had everything and he was a good individual.” The Broken Shore has a colt foal by Medaglia d’Oro who is set to go through the sales next year and she is currently in foal again to Fastnet Rock.

THE rebirth of the Bendigo Bank Parkdale Gift was struck with a “summer’s worth of rain” on Saturday 24 March but athletes weren’t deterred to compete in the first running of the Gift in over 54 years. While the Healthy Start event and tennis program suffered from the weather and were “washed out”, more than 560 entrants still competed on the 11-event program at the Gerry Green Reserve, Parkdale which included boxing, athletics and the Bayside School Championships. The day belonged to the Western Australians with Evan Jarvis and Kiara Reddingius claiming the Men’s and Women’s 120m Parkdale Gifts. Jarvis started at a handicap of 8.5 metres to run away with the Men’s Gift and the $2,500 winner’s prize in a time of 12.59 seconds defeating Victorian runner Kevin Brittain in the final. In the Women’s Gift, Reddingius, who just missed out on making it to the Commonwealth Games, started at a handicap of 3 metres and motored home to run over the top of Victorian runners Hannah Lindstrom (9.75m handicap) and Deni O’Connor (17.75m handicap) in a time of 14.46 seconds. Parkdale Gift president Tim Mason said, “It was great to have competitors from across the country competing”. “The two winners from Western Australia came a long way to get here so it was good to see them duly salute,” he said. “Kiara only just missed out on going to the Commonwealth Games so it was great to see her compete in the Gift and take home the $2,500 prize.” Mason said he was really happy with the overall outcome of the Parkdale Gift and that it was very much what he was hoping to re-create. “We really embraced the history of the Parkdale Gift with past winner’s Graham Huggings (1963) and Bob Wishart (1964) both attending

the day and presenting the ribbons to the winners,” he said. “You don’t want to throw out history and how the Gift used to be. History has a lot to say and it was good to embrace the past and try and re-create what it was like in 1964 but in a 2018 sort of way.” The 120m Invitational event was a new highlight to the Gift this year with runners from the Kimberly community in far north Western Australia claiming the top three positions. Solomon Puemorra, 16 and his cousin Deqwayne Puemorra, 18 took full advantage of their opportunity to travel to Victoria and compete in both the Parkdale Gift and the Stawell Gift as they respectably finished first and second ahead of Alex McKenzie in the Invitational event. Mason raised over $7,500 to create the experience for the cousins and provide a platform for indigenous runners to showcase their talent. “The idea was very well received and they really seemed to enjoy the experience,” Mason said. “They continued to improve over the day and when they got to Stawell they had improve noticeably as they adjusted to their events. “They also experienced other activities and attended their first AFL game which was Richmond verse Carlton.” Mason said he is now working through the structure of the program and the funding to create another experience like this for other indigenous runners. Some junior runners also got to experience professional running for the first time in the Bayside School Championships. Christopher Valcanis took out the Boy’s event for Brighton Grammar with Kate Wilcox winning the Girl’s event for Mentone Girls’ Grammar. The Parkdale Gift is likely to be run at an earlier time next year according to Mason who at this stage is thinking around February.
