Crashed plane ‘engine failed’

Mayday before fatality Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A PRELIMINARY report into the fatal plane crash in Mordialloc last month has found the single-engine Cessna 172 was making its first flight since an engine replacement. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is investigating the cause of the crash that killed pilot Anthony Liddell, 50, when the plane crashed onto Scarlet Street, Mordialloc at about 5pm on Friday 8 June. The Mount Martha resident, an employee of a maintenance company, was piloting the Cessna as the sole occupant after scheduled maintenance. In its preliminary report released on 18 July, the ATSB said Mr Liddell broadcast an “engine failure” mayday to air Moorabbin Airport traffic control just before the plane came down in Scarlet Street narrowly avoiding houses in the residential area. The engine was tested on-ground before the fatal flight. “The aircraft initially contacted a power line and fence before coming to rest on a residential street against a parked car,” the ATSB report stated. “The pilot was fatally injured and a post-impact fuel-fed fire destroyed the aircraft. There was also damage to a residential property and the parked car.” The Cessna was built in 2006 and had 6348 hours in service and was used mostly for pilot flight training. Civil Aviation Safety Authority

(CASA) investigators, overseen by the ATSB, did not find evidence of engine mechanical failure. Damage to the plane’s propeller “was consistent with the engine not producing power at the time of impact”. Investigations are ongoing ahead of the release of a final report into the plane crash. “However, if any critical safety issues are identified during the course of the investigation we will immediately notify the relevant parties so that appropriate safety action can be taken,” ATSB transport safety executive director Nat Nagy said. The Cessna did not have a flight data recorder or cockpit voice recorder and it was not mandatory for either recorder to be installed in that type of aircraft.

A first in first aid awards Homes plan on course A NEW awards program will honour unsung heroes who have saved lives or helped people in time of emergency by using first aid skills. St John Ambulance Victoria is asking people to nominate family, friends, work colleagues or classmates who have helped others as first aid responders. Frankston resident Brodie Harper, Nine Network Postcards TV show presenter, says being properly trained in first aid is a vital skill to learn. “If you know somebody who has gone above and beyond the call of duty, the First Aid Champion Awards is the ideal way to honour them,” she said. “Being a mother and working a job that requires me to wear different hats has shown me that First Aid training is vital for everyday living. You never know what’s going to happen and I always want to be prepared, especially when I have to travel a lot for work.” There are five awards nomination categories in the inaugural First Aid Champion Awards — Junior First Aid Champion (Under 12), Youth First Aid Champion (under 18), School First Aid Champion, Community First Aid Champion and Workplace First Aid Champion. St John Ambulance Victoria CEO Gordon Botwright said the awards will emphasise how important it is for people to learn first aid skills. “First Aid training is always such an important skill to have, no matter what age you are, and we hope to acknowledge all age groups, workplaces, schools, community groups and of course our volunteers, without whom our work wouldn’t be possible,” Mr Botwright said. “Last year alone we trained over 187,901 Victorian school children and reached over 313,337 people across Victoria. “It only takes one person to save a life. We think it is important these unsung heroes are acknowledged for their extraordinary acts of service”. Nominations close on 22 August. Win-

PLANS to build homes at the Kingswood Golf Course in Dingley Village are being watched closely across the municipality as setting a potential precedent for residential developments on courses. Kingston Council has been given permission by state Labor Planning Minister Richard Wynne to start the first step of the Planning Scheme Amendment process seeking community feedback. A planning application to subdivide the golf course into 760 lots has been submitted by property fund manager ISPT. The fund manager bought the course land for $125 million in 2014. The golf club merged with the Peninsula Country Golf Club. Kingston mayor Cr Steve Staikos said the consultation stage is a chance for people to make their views on the redevelopment known. “We know there has been a lot of community interest in the proposed development, and council is keen to ensure that Dingley Village residents are kept fully informed at every stage,” Cr Staikos said. “Council will be writing to all Dingley Village residents to let them know that now is the time to have their say. You can view the plans online or in person at the Dingley Village library or council’s customer service centre in Cheltenham. The applicant ISPT is seeking permission to subdivide lots under 300 square metres. The project’s senior development
manager Anna Martiniello said there are no plans for apartments or flats or multi-storey developments and “all buildings will be designed to perform to high-performance standards”. “We are proposing a master-planned residential community, with 760 individual lots. The development will include a mixture of low-density and medium-density housing, more than 14.6 per cent of the site dedicated to usable open space, flood retention works for some 62,000m3 of stormwater, more than five times the statutory requirement, a financial contribution to council of $7525 per dwelling, and a dedicated financial contribution towards affordable housing.” Save Kingswood Group Incorporated secretary Kevin Poulter said hundreds of people have signed an online petition against the residential development plans. “Up to 1000 tiny units is so out of character, they would destroy an entire village and affect nearly 10,000 residents’ quality of life,” he said. See yourkingstonyoursay.com.au or call Kingston Council on 1300 653 356 for information on how to make a submission before Thursday 30 August. “Council’s planning officers have been working for almost two years to ensure that all required information has been provided by the applicant. Now the community will have the chance to assess the plans and have its say. Following the community feedback period, council is required to vote on whether or not they wish to refer the matter to an independent panel for advice.”

A GANG of politicians gathered at Baxter train station last week to spruik a $450 million plan to extend the electrification of the Frankston line to Baxter. The train station provided a platform on Tuesday (17 July) for Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to accompany a coalition of state Liberal opposition leader Matthew Guy and Liberal federal and state politicians for the big pre-elections spending promise. The state election in Victoria will be held in November this year and a federal election must be held by November next year at the latest. Mr Turnbull told an assembled media pack that an eight-kilometre electrification extension beyond Frankston to Baxter is “a hugely important piece of infrastructure”. Diesel trains on the unreliable Stony Point line to Baxter will be replaced by electric trains and new additional stations will be built in Frankston East, near Frankston Hospital and Monash University’s peninsula campus, and at Langwarrin. Work would begin next year. “A new station at Frankston East will improve access to Frankston Hospital for patients and families as well as health professionals and it will also and help students get to the local campus of Monash University,” Mr Guy said. “There are two things people in

Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula should know, firstly that the Liberals will duplicate and electrify the rail to Baxter and second, Daniel Andrews and Bill Shorten won’t.” The state and federal Labor parties have not yet confirmed they will electrify rail to Baxter if in government after the next elections. The Labor state government is undertaking a federally-funded business case study on the proposal. “We hope state and federal Labor get on board soon,” Committee for Greater Frankston president Fred Harrison said. Victorian Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan did not respond to questions about the progress of the business case study or any Labor commitment to the project. Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton, a Labor Party member, said Frankston Council welcomes the joint Liberal state and federal commitment to the electrification of the rail line beyond Frankston. “Electrification beyond Frankston station will mean people living further up the line or from the Mornington Peninsula will be able to get on a train at Langwarrin or Baxter and commute directly to Monash University, Frankston Hospital and Frankston Private Hospital, Chisholm TAFE or directly into Melbourne.” Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bryan Payne, a Liberal Party member, welcomed a pledge by the Liberals made on the day the Baxter line project was announced to com-
mit $2.5 million each year to run more Route 788 bus services between Portsea and Frankston. “Currently the Route 788 bus carries over half a million passengers annually with current frequencies from 45 minutes to 100 minutes,” Cr Payne said. Federal Dunkley Liberal MP Chris Crewther, whose ultra-marginal electorate will lose the northern part of Baxter to neighbouring Flinders at the next federal election, was one of several Liberal politicians to head to Baxter last Tuesday. Mr Hunt, the federal Flinders MP, was in Mayo in South Australia on 17 July on the by-election campaign trail for Liberal candidate Georgina Downer, announcing more than $1.1 million as federal Health Minister to help people with mental illnesses in regional and rural areas across South Australia. Back in Baxter the Prime Minister was quizzed about his comments earlier on the Tuesday when interviewed by radio station 3AW when he said “Sudanese gangs in Melbourne is an issue”. Mr Turnbull said his government has “zero tolerance for racism” and told 3AW: “There is certainly concern about street crime in Melbourne. There is real concern about Sudanese gangs.” Prime Minister visits: Malcolm Turnbull announces federal and state Liberal pledge to electrify the rail line to Baxter if both win looming elections, Picture: Gary Sissons

GREEN thumbs are being encouraged by Kingston Council to participate in National Tree Day on Sunday 29 July. “Tree Day is a great opportunity to do something positive for your community and the environment while enjoying time in the great outdoors and connecting with people in your neighbourhood,” Kingston mayor Cr Steve Staikos said.

All change
NEW female-friendly accessible changing rooms were officially opened at Jack Grut Reserve in Mordialloc on Sunday 22 July. Kingston mayor Cr Steve Staikos joined Parkdale United Cricket Club and Aspendale Stingrays Soccer Club representatives at the launch. Cr Staikos said council used modular
design and building for the first time to ensure a high-quality outcome with minimal impact on the clubs and surrounding residents. “The building was constructed off-site and dropped into place on Mordialloc’s Jack Grut Reserve,” Cr Staikos said. “This meant less construction noise for residents and minimal disruption to the site for the clubs and the community.” The new changing rooms include accessible ramps, female-friendly change rooms and showers, tiered seating to give supporters a better view and umpires rooms. “In the past decade Kingston Council has been investing heavily to upgrade local sports pavilions to ensure they are accessible to everyone and better accommodate female players. We recognise that many local sports facilities, built around 50 years ago when sport was a male-dominated area, simply aren’t accessible for women or people with disabilities,” Cr Staikos said.
‘Albo’ reschedules A LUNCH at McClelland Gallery in Langwarrin with Anthony “Albo” Albanese as guest speaker that was scheduled for this Thursday has been changed to Tuesday 31 July. The federal opposition’s spokesman for infrastructure, transport, cities and regional development has been invited by the Committee for Greater Frankston to present details of his recently announced City Partnerships program, which he says is designed to foster collaboration between local, state and federal governments to manage urban growth. Mr Albanese will hear from decision-makers about the region’s top issues. Details: trybooking.com/ WYVL

Anniversary of murders chance to help Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A MEMORIAL to remember the three victims of the 1993 Frankston murders will be held this month amid a community-led push to now help the “unknown victim” of the murders. Jake Blair, now 25, was just 12 days old when his mother, Debbie Fream, 22, was murdered in 1993 by Paul Denyer who also killed Elizabeth Stevens, 18, and Natalie Russell, 17. In this year of the 25th anniversary of the murders, true crime book author Vikki Petraitis has updated her bestselling The Frankston Murders book to remind people of the lives lost and the ongoing impact on the victims’ families. “I really want to tell their story now because people want to know how they are,” Petraitis said. Finding out what happened to “baby Jake” 25 years after his mother’s murder is part of the updated book entitled The Frankston Murders, 25 Years On published by Clan Destine Press. “Baby Jake was on the front page of every newspaper — a 12-day-old baby,” she said. “I found him and interviewed him and he’s led a really tough life and a diminished life from what he could perhaps have had if his mother hadn’t been taken.” Mr Blair now resides in Mount Gambier in South Australia. Petraitis said “he’s now really alone and feels very isolated” after the death of father Garry in 2012 at the age of just 43. The Frankston Community No-

ticeboard group on Facebook have organised a memorial on Monday 30 July at “Nat’s Track” in Skye Road, Frankston at the track named for Natalie Russell. Her parents, Brian and Carmel Russell, will attend the memorial ceremony. An online “Give ‘Baby Jake’ a Future” campaign has also been launched to coincide with the 25th-anniversary memorial. “We’re raising money to get him back on his feet,” Petraitis said. “What I’ve found is every time you ask something of someone, people are brilliant … people want to direct their
feelings somehow. “How about helping Jake back on his feet?” The author hopes Mr Blair can attend the memorial but knows he may find it difficult to do so. “I’d be honoured to meet him.” Petraitis said the 25th anniversary of the murders, updated Frankston Murders book and memorial is a chance to remind politicians that Paul Denyer should not be released from jail in five years’ time. He was initially sentenced to life without parole but this was reduced to 30 years with the possibility of release on appeal. “We need to get this story out because we need to remind the government that Paul Denyer can never ever get out of jail,” Petraitis said. She hopes the updated book can let younger people know about the longlasting impact of the murders on the victims’ families. “It occurred to me that there’s a whole generation of people under 30 and this really has happened outside their lived experience and memory. “Don’t ever forget what and who he took.” n A 25th anniversary memorial of the Frankston murders will be held at Nat’s Track, Skye Road, Frankston on Monday 30 July, 3pm. See au.gofundme.com and search for “Give Baby Jake a future” to contribute to the fundraising campaign “to raise money to give him a new start, to help him find a place to live, and give him a chance to find work, or perhaps further his education.”
A mother and lives lost An extract from The Frankston Murders, 25 Years On by Vikki Petraitis available at clandestinepress.com. au and bookstores: ‘Jake was in the third grade at a primary school in Warrnambool when he became aware that he didn’t have a mother. He walked to school by himself and one day, a classmate asked him why he didn’t get dropped off to school by his mum. Little Jake had never given it much thought because you can’t miss what you never had. But the boy’s question startled him. His dad, Garry, had partners over the years, but Jake never called them mum; he always referred to them by their first names. Jake’s heart started to race towards panic as the understanding crashed down on him; he didn’t
have a mother of his own. In the anxiety attack that followed, Jake’s teacher sent him to the principal’s office to wait, while the school called his dad to come and pick him up. When he got to school, Garry Blair talked to the principal while Jake waited outside. He couldn’t hear what they were talking about. Walking home together was the perfect opportunity to raise the question of his mother, but young Jake read his father’s mood, and said nothing. Garry didn’t either. It took him a couple of days before he raised it with his son. Garry’s explanation was full of holes that even a third-grader could see. Your mother was taken… there are bad people out there…be careful… To Jake, it created a land of shadows around his mysterious missing mother.’
Mother’s pride: Baby Jake was born in 1993 and has faced a tough life since Debbie Fream’s murder when he was 12 days old.

Shooting arrest
A FRANKSTON man, 31, has been arrested in relation to a shooting in Clayton South last month. It is alleged a man fired into the fence of a Westall Road building site at about 3.30pm on Thursday 21 June. The man was arrested without incident during a planned arrest at a property in McMahons Road, Frankston on Friday 20 July with the help of the Special Operations Group and Fugitive Task Force. He has been charged with possessing a prohibited firearm, prohibited use of a firearm, reckless conduct endangering life and drug possession offences.
Guards march off job at naval base GUARDS employed by Wilson Security walked off the job at HMAS Cerberus, Crib Point last week to protest changes to workplace rules. The action resulted in bans on visitor checks, on-site patrols, bag and vehicle checks and training. Industrial action elsewhere affected Defence sites across the state as well as at hospitals, offices, stations, and factories. The guards, members of United Voice, are angry at what they claim are “broken bargaining rules in the security industry and across the workforce”. They say they have been negotiating with Wilson on pay and job security for a year and a half. United Voice Victorian secretary
Jess Walsh said Wilson had imposed a two-year pay freeze on the guards and sought to introduce a two-tier pay structure as a way of pushing new guards on to the award minimum. He said it was the third time guards had taken industrial action in recent months, and was “the most widespread action to date”. “These guards are highly-trained, professional staff who do incredibly important work protecting our men and women in uniform, as well as patients and health professionals, and yet their pay has been squeezed for the last two years,” Mr Walsh said. “They do not deserve this kind of disrespect.
“They will do whatever it takes to win jobs they can count on.” Mr Walsh said the action caused significant disruption at HMAS Cerberus as well as at other Defence sites, including the Australian Geospatial Intelligence site at Bendigo, Simpson Barracks, Defence Fisherman’s Bend and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Maribyrnong. “There is a risk that if the action escalates, operations on some bases would be shut down,” he said. Wilson Security was invited to comment on the action. HMAS Cerberus would not comment. Stephen Taylor

years, Jennifer’s award-winning career spans film, television and stage as an actor, singer, director and industry pioneer. The current president of Equity New Zealand, Jennifer is a respected patron to a number of arts organisations including The Auckland Performing Arts Centre. Tour presenter Andrew McKinnon is proud to be introducing Jennifer to Australian audiences. “Through my frequent trips to New Zealand, I became aware of Jennifer Ward-Lealand’s immense talent.

Duos hit the stage CONCERT goers will be able to enjoy two shows for the one ticket. This amazing touring event featuring the music of Simon & Garfunkel and Roy Orbison & Willie Nelson is coming to the Frankston Arts Centre on Saturday 11 August. Mark Shelley and John Robertson have been performing together, touring the nation and overseas for 25 years. As a celebration of this milestone, and the fact that this year celebrates 50 years since the release of the movie The Graduate, and 30 years since the passing of Roy Orbison, they decided to tour both of their shows in one amazing concert. ‘Simon & Garfunkel The Concert’ opens the evening including classics such as Mrs Robinson, The Boxer, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Feelin Groovy, Me & Julio, Homeward Bound, Scarborough Fair and Sounds of Silence. This wonderful concert is a celebration of the times, the stories, the music, the harmony & the Songs that reflected the mood of the 60s and defined the term “folk rock”. Feedback includes: “Great! Such a walk down memory lane I wanted to be wearing cheesecloth with wild hair, leather plaits and JC sandals. Thanks for stirring the memories.” – Jennifer, Tamworth And then after intermission ‘Willie & Roy The Legends’ including On the Road Again, To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before, Always on my Mind, Seven Spanish Angels, Pretty Woman, Crying, Running Scared and Only the Lonely. John Robertson as Willie Nelson and Mark Shelley as Roy Orbison are so effective in their characterisation, vocals, musicianship and storytelling that audiences no longer see
Mark and John, but Willie and Roy. You will sing, laugh, shed a tear, clap…and most of all believe! As Ray Hadley put it: “It’s the must-see show of the season”. See thefac.com.au or call Frankston Arts Centre on 9784 1060 for tickets to the show on Saturday 11 August, 8pm.

Trusting the war will soon be over and that you will all be spared for many, many happy years to work for the comfort of our returned men. *** THE death of one of the oldest residents of the Peninsula took place at her daughter’s residence on Monday evening last, when Mrs Lewis passed peacefully away. The late Mrs Lewis was born in Barking, England, in 1821, accompanied by her late husband, who predeceased her some twenty six years ago, she came to Victoria in a sailing vessel called the Roxburgh Castle over sixty years ago. Within six months of arriving in Victoria the late Mrs Lewis came to the Peninsula where she had resided ever since. In the early early days they were association with the firm of Cro Ritchie and Co. Deceased, leaving one daughter (Mrs R Davies) and
one son to mourn her loss. Her other son B. A. Lewis, died some two years ago. The Rev Watts officiated at the graveside and the funeral arrangements left in the hands of Mr Gamble. The sympathy of all go to bereaved relatives. *** HORSE, Wagon (light express, Engforecarriage) and Harness, wagon nearly new, whole turnout £25, Shaw, Hastings Road, Pearcedale, via Somerville. *** POISON laid in all my paddocks farm this day.

The Hon. secretary of the Somerville branch of the Red Cross Society has submitted the following report. Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to report that during the past half year we have despatched to the Federal depot 715 articles, consisting of under flannels, socks, mittens, aviator’s caps, balaclavas, bed screens, pyjamas, scarves and washers. We have held one ‘At Home’ and Sale of Gifts, and two concerts, and in spite of similar entertainments held at Frankston the same night we cleared £11 14s 6d on our first concert, and £11 1s on the second. With the proceeds of these two concerts and donations, we sent to the Prisoners of War fund £31 5s 6d. We sold 31 House Badges, and 198 raffle tickets for the Welcome Home committee,
Port Melbourne. We have received the, following donations for our local branch : Mr Horsfall 10s 6d, Mrs Horsfall 5s, Mr Geo Shepherd senr. £1 1s; Mr Barber £1 1s; Protestant Federation meeting half proceeds 15s ; half proceeds sale of flowers, Captain Gates, 15s; half share Show prize money, Major Conder, 10s; half proceeds Girls’ Concert, £.3 17s 10d ; Miss Barber (carving cloth) 7s 6d. Our members have visited the Langwarrin Hospital to cheer the boys who have fought for us, and taken gifts of sweets and cigarettes. We have also visited the Caulfield Hospital, and were entertained by our member, Mrs White. The increase of correspondence has been considerable during the past six months and 1,322 envelopes have been used for notices, receipts and correspondence, showing the amount of clerical work done. With the assistance of the residents of the district we have entertained the returned wounded on two occasions, so I think all will agree with me that a strenuous half year has had a good result. Our official collector, Mrs Barber, is doing good work for the French Red Cross appeal, and good donations are coming in. We also have a beautiful booklet “Women of our Empire” in aid of the Red Cross. “A tribute” by Nurse Primrose. No patriotic woman can afford not to have one of these beautiful books. They are 1s each. Minnie A. Shepherd, Hon. Sec. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 27 July 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The Philosophical Meaning of DJ Jazzy Jeff By Stuart McCullough SOME things cannot be explained. Some things, perhaps, should not be explained even if it’s possible to do so. As I sat with my nephew and niece playing a card game called ‘War’ that, much like actual war, seemed to be taking forever and was having a lasting impact on my morale, I had stumbled across a nineties hip hop classic. As I dropped a card to the table that allowed me to take the card of my opponent, I uttered the words ‘Boom, shake, shake, shake the room’ as though they actually meant something. My nephew and niece looked at me as though I’d just thrown a bucket full of crazy. It got me thinking: how do I explain this? It’s harder than it sounds. For those who grew up with them, the words ‘DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince’ need no explanation. In their own way, they make complete and perfect sense. However, to someone from another generation, it’s impossible to convey why this expression is more than mere gibberish. Indeed, even as the words crow-barred their way over my lips and made for bushes to hide, I could tell my audience was becoming increasingly incredulous if not downright skeptical. The nineties were kind of tricky. There was so much more to the decade than grunge music and its uniform of flannel shirts with its steady diet of misery and general moaning about life; or Britpop with its fey stars who wore suits and looked like the world’s funkiest bank tellers. It was an era of profligate boy and girl bands
PAGE 10
spawned by evil Svengali-type figures that lured teenagers into recording studios with promises of fame and fortune of which they delivered on the former but kept the latter for themselves. And rap music was bigger than it’d ever been. Especially in the charts. It was the decade of ‘U Can’t Touch This’ by MC Hammer – a tune that
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 25 July 2018
relied heavily on ‘Super Freak’ by Rick James but with all the rude bits taken out, as well as Hammer’s own voluminous Hammer pants. It was also the decade of Vanilla Ice (known to his Mum as Robbie van Winkle), who made an entire song out about four bars of a tune by Queen and David Bowie. This kind of repurposing was the very basis for rap
music, but it became a whole lot more complicated once the enterprise got commercial. As for DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, they used a sample of the song ‘Funky Worm’ by the Ohio Players for their masterpiece. Not that you could tell. It turned something not many people knew into a rap colossus. The Fresh Prince was, in fact, Will Smith; who would go on to star in a tonne of blockbuster movies. DJ Jazzy Jeff was, in fact, Jeff Townes who, for all anyone knows, went on to work at a Blockbuster video store. But they were a team – a DJ responsible for the beats and a rapper. This was back when rappers and DJs were kind of a package deal: ‘Grandmaster Flash and Furious Five’, ‘Grand Wizzard Theodore and the Fantastic Five’ and the immortal ‘Enid Blyton and the Famous Five’ to name but a few legendary groups. DJs and rappers went together like peas and carrots. More to the point, the DJ’s name always came first. Not that they all had fabulous names – ‘Eric B. and Rakim’ is as about as an ordinary a name as you can get, even though ‘Paid In Full’ is a stone-cold rap classic. The DJ was responsible for the beat. In the beginning, this was done by using turntables to create a continuous break beat by flipping from one to the other and manipulating the records to generate a rhythm. It was the ultimate in ‘Do It Yourself’ music. The MC (or, if you prefer, Master of Ceremonies) would then rap over the top. They used what they had to make their own kind of music and, in
the process, invented an entirely new art form. But just as those limitations resulted in innovation, changes to technology have meant that those skills are no longer as necessary as they once were. Somewhere along the line, things changed. The DJ disappeared to be replaced by faceless producers. Even if you do know who the producer is, his or her name is not going to be first. Sure, you’ve got your Calvin Harris and David Guetta types, but neither of those jokers is yet to produce anything that could hold a candle to something like ‘Boom! Shake the Room’. They probably never will. Just because you wear a pair of headphones doesn’t mean that you know your way around the wheels of steel. My niece and nephew were looking at me, confusion writ large across their faces. Foolishly, I thought that reciting the lyrics might help. I invited them to tell their mother that they never wrote a whack jam but it only seemed to make things worse. It’s impossible to explain the meaning of DJ Jazzy Jeff to a generation that considers Ed Sheeran to be a musical genius and not, as I do, the aural equivalent of IKEA. I thought for a moment about trying to make my point by putting down some cardboard and spinning around in a circle but feared that I may do myself an injury. Instead, I put down my cards and surrendered. The game continued without me. It seems the (break) beat continues, even without DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Stonecats snap winless streak DIVISION ONE
By Brodie Cowburn FRANKSTON YCW have finally broken their run of seven games without a win by defeating EdithvaleAspendale in a dominant display. The Stonecats’ last win came over two months ago on 5 May against Mornington in a victory that solidified their spot on top of the ladder. Since that game they have slumped to sixth place and now face a real danger of missing out on finals. Their clash at home against Edi-Asp on Saturday was an absolute must win, but things got off to a shaky start. EdiAsp went into the first break in front by two goals, and the Stonecats were left pondering just when their luck would turn. Luckily for the Stonecats, they would have a much better second term, holding Edi-Asp to just one behind and kicking away to a 13 point lead. The game remained fairly even in the third quarter, and although the Stonecats went into the final term with a 24 point lead, the contest was far from over. In the final quarter though, Frankston YCW announced that they were back in the most convincing way possible, hammering home eight goals to EdiAsp’s one to run away with an easy victory and send alarm bells ringing throughout the rest of the league. Division One’s sleeping giant finally awoke as the Stonecats claimed a comprehensive win over second placed Edithvale-Aspendale 17.18 (110) to 6.6 (42).
Eyes on the prize: Frankston YCW finally broke their losing streak by beating Edithvale-Aspendale. Picture: Andrew Hurst
Kyle Hutchinson was the best player on the ground, booting four goals for the winning Stonecats. At David Macfarlane Reserve, Sorrento played host to both Mornington and a number of high profile AFL stars as they held their ‘Purple Shark Day’ in support of the Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision charity. Richmond premiership players Jack
Riewoldt and Daniel Rioli were joined by former St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt and former Coleman Medallist Brendan Fevola at David Macfarlane Reserve, where they signed autographs and took photos with fans before the start of the game. The bumper crowd certainly was treated to a thrilling game as well, as Sorrento and Mornington battled it
out in what would be one of the best games of the year. Mornington started out on the right foot over their highly fancied Sorrento opponents, making the most of their limited opportunities and heading into the first break with a three point lead. Sorrento fought back in the second term to wrestle back the lead, but could only establish a three point buffer at the main break despite outnumbering the Bulldogs by eight scoring shots. After the half time break, Mornington came out determined to make Sorrento pay for their sloppiness in front of goal, as they kicked four goals straight to go into the final term with a narrow one point advantage. Although it looked as if one of the season’s most shocking upsets was on the cards, the Sharks showed the quality that made them the team to beat this season, and fought back to claim a nail biting come from behind win 10.17 (77) to 12.3 (75). Mitch Hallahan continued his stellar run of form with another best on ground display for Sorrento, while Shannon Gladman also contributed handily to the win with three goals. At Bonbeach Recreation reserve, Mt Eliza travelled to take on Bonbeach as they looked to close the gap between third and second place. Mt Eliza were on top for the majority of the game, but no matter how hard the Redlegs tried they couldn’t drive the final nail in the coffin. Mt Eliza led at each break during the game, but never by more than two points.
Although the contest looked set to go down to the wire in the final term, the Redlegs finally kicked away and established a buffer, holding the Sharks to just one point in the final term to take out a 6.6 (42) to 9.6 (60) win. Ben Landry and Luca Goonan were among the best on the ground for Mt Eliza, while former Sydney Swan Trent Dennis-Lane was a contributor for Bonbeach with two goals. The win takes Mt Eliza to within one game of second place Edi-Asp going into the final rounds of the year. The final game for the round saw Pines host the Frankston Bombers in what would turn out to be a one sided affair. The goal hungry Pines easily claimed the four points by booting 21 goals in a percentage boosting win that took them to fourth on the ladder. Pines boast the best percentage in the league by a wide margin, which may come in handy coming into the closing stages of the home and away season. The game was done and dusted by the quarter time break, as Pines raced out of the gates with a stunning nine goal to one first term which put them out to a 48 point lead. From there, the Bombers could do nothing to get back into the contest, as they eventually succumbed to Pines 21.11 (137) to 11.13 (78). Pines boasted 12 individual goal kickers, with Aaron Ludewig and Aaron Edwards the best among them with four and three respectively.
Kangaroos keep touch with finals DIVISION TWO
By Brodie Cowburn LANGWARRIN have kept their season alive with a hard fought victory over Hastings at Lloyd Park on Saturday. Coming off a disappointing thrashing against Dromana last week, Langwarrin needed to grab a win over Hastings to be any hope at all of making the finals. Helped by the return of some key players from injuries, Langwarrin got things started in the best possible way and took a 21 point lead into the quarter time break. By the time the half time break rolled along, Langwarrin were still leading, but Hastings were keeping touch thanks to their accuracy in front of goal. Hastings had converted six goals from six scoring opportunities to keep themselves in contention. After the main break Hastings continued to kick straight, but just weren’t able to keep up with Langwarrin. As the final siren sounded, Langwarrin claimed all four points with a 13.12 (90) to 11.3 (69) win. Luke Hewitt booted three goals for the losing side to take his tally to the year to 44, while Jesse Murphy booted three to take his count for the year to 55. Langwarrin still sit six points behind Hastings in fifth spot, and will have to rely on other results to go their way to sneak into finals over the final four weeks of the season.

second spot on the ladder. Red Hill entered the contest full of confidence, having won seven consecutive games. They were also boosted by the news that they had resigned coach Jamie Mollo through until the end of the 2020 season. Karingal had been in slightly shaky form, and they started on the wrong foot as Red Hill raced to a 15 point lead at the first break. In the second quarter the Bulls fought back to close the margin to a goal, but
let themselves down with a goalless third term. Red Hill raced away to a five goal lead by the three-quarter time break, which proved to be insurmountable. Helped by nine individual goal kickers, Red Hill ran away with a comfortable 11.11 (77) to 5.7 (37) win. The gap between Red Hill and ladder leaders Dromana was almost closed further by a shock result at Dromana Recreation Reserve, as Tyabb battled hard to nearly steal a stunning win over
the ladder leaders. Dromana started the clash positively with a three goals to one first quarter, but Tyabb closed the gap to just six points at the half time break. Dromana were able to stay on top but couldn’t put the brave Tyabb away for good, with the margin standing at only 15 points going into the final quarter. Although they won the final term and fought hard, the siren eventually sounded with Tyabb just behind, as they fell to Dromana in an 11.19 (85) to 10.14 (74) loss. Although Dromana claimed all four points, the result will have their upcoming opponents hopeful of knocking off the dominant premiership favourites. Ben Holmes had another big game for Dromana with a four goal effort, he has now kicked nine in his last two games. There was another thrilling result at RJ Rowley Reserve, as Rye hosted Devon Meadows in a tight contest. Despite both sides being effectively ruled out of finals contention, they both played as if it were all on the line in a match that went down to the wire. The Demons opened up an early lead over the Devon Meadows Panthers, establishing a seven point deficit by the quarter time break and stretching that lead to eight at half time. Despite leading for most of the day,
Rye couldn’t put the Panthers away, and saw their lead reduced to just four going into the final term. Spurred on by an impressive five goal performance from star forward Michael Theodoridis, the Panthers finally snatched the lead in the final term and ended the game with their noses just in front, securing a stunning come from behind victory 9.16 (70) to 11.7 (73). The battle between Pearcedale and Crib Point was also a thrilling one, as the Magpies fell agonisingly short of just their second win of the year. Although Pearcedale led for the entire afternoon, Crib Point battled hard to stay in touch and give themselves a shot going into the final term. Despite winning the final quarter, Pearcedale were just too strong for the hard working Magpies, as they claimed a 16.10 (106) to 14.13 (97) win. Luke Daniel was the match winner for Pearcedale, kicking three goals in a best on ground performance. The final game of the round saw Chelsea claim an easy win over Somerville in a result that will see Somerville’s slim finals hopes come to an end. Curtis Bywater continued his stunning year with a five goal haul which takes his tally for the year to 53. Somerville could only take consolation from an impressive last quarter in which they outscored Chelsea six goals to two, but it wasn’t nearly enough to overcome the massive deficit that had been opened up. The Seagulls finished the contest well on top, defeating Somerville 19.13 (127) to 10.16 (76).

Kilner back at Baxter, Somerville soars SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie ROY Kilner is back at Baxter in a lastditch attempt to rescue the club from relegation from State 4 South. When news broke last week that work commitments had forced Francis Beck to step down as head coach the club turned to former coach Kilner and he has targeted controversial striker Mark Pagliarulo as the man to lead the front line. ‘Pags’ has also attracted interest from Somerville and Skye United but his relationship with Baxter is expected to tip the odds in Kilner’s favour. ‘Pags’ last played in 2017 and has since concentrated on his job as head coach of Bulleen’s NPL under-15s. If he decides to help Baxter in the most important seven-game run in the local club’s recent history he’ll continue his work with Bulleen’s elite youngsters. Baxter has away games against Hampton Park United and Harrisfield Hurricanes as well as a home game against Sandringham and winning these games is crucial to its survival. Kilner’s first game back in charge ended in a 3-1 home loss to Endeavour United last weekend. Goodness knows how Endeavour striker Michael Rodriguez was left unmarked in the 15th minute and his glancing header over the advancing Beck, deputising for James Foster in goal, gave the visitors a lead they never surrendered. A sweeping four-player interpassing move in the 28th minute ended with a low header from Ahmad Tabarra which snuck inside the near post to make it 2-0. Baxter had stood off its opponent for most of the first half but was more aggressive and direct in the second period and a brain fade from Endeavour keeper Franc Marateo in the 52nd minute gave the home side hope. Marateo dithered on the ball inside his own area long enough to get closed down from Ben Meiklem and tap the ball too far forward allowing Meiklem to round the bemused keeper and stroke the ball into the unguarded goal to make it 2-1. Baxter’s best chance of an improbable draw fell to wee Alan Lipsett in the 85th minute but he slid in at the far post only to strike Meiklem’s cross from the left well over the bar. In the first minute of injury time Tabarra’s chip from the right of the area rebounded off the back post to Endeavour substitute Maqsod Mansuri who deftly dummied his opponent before slamming the ball past Beck

from close range. Meanwhile Somerville Eagles kept their State 5 South title hopes alive with a 3-1 away win over Aspendale last Saturday. Somerville is in second spot a point behind Lyndale United but the league leader has played one more game and has a bye next weekend. That gives Somerville the chance to claim top spot but it faces a huge challenge on Saturday at home to thirdplaced Old Mentonians in what looms as a season-defining encounter. At Jack Grut Reserve last weekend Somerville was missing a host of first teamers but handed a debut to new signing Harry Chapman from Peninsula Strikers with a spot on the bench for the returning Hayden Taylor following a spell at Strikers. Aspendale started well and Matthew Corra’s smart finish put the home side ahead in the 8th minute. Somerville responded six minutes later after good work by Chapman got the ball to player-coach Dave Greening who swivelled and from 10 metres out curled a postage-stamp finish into the top corner. In the 21st minute the visitors hit the front after a long throw by Stephen Curd was inadvertently headed on by a defender and Greening made no mistake for his second. In the 59th minute Chapman played a sublime through ball to Greening who turned his marker and placed the ball past Aspendale keeper Jack Taylor to complete his hat-trick .

away loss to Moreland City on Saturday and is understood to be the subject of a complaint to FFV from the Lawton Park club. The first half was all about referee Azcurra. He issued straight red cards to Langwarrin midfielder Paul Speed and striker Liam Baxter, ignored pleas for a penalty after Langy’s Viktor Medini was pushed in the back inside the area and decided that a horror tackle on Langy captain Boris Ovcin was only worthy of a caution. Moreland head coach Adrian Mathers gathered the Langy players and coaching staff together after the contest to express his embarrassment at the refereeing display and its impact on the outcome. Moreland’s scorers were Chris Cristaldo (26th and 53rd minutes), Jordon Lampard (18th), Corey Thomas (55th) and Apai Ukono (61st). Langy’s goal came from a Luke Burgess header following a corner in the 80th minute. There was better news for Langwarrin in the curtain raiser with the under20s winning 3-2. Travis Ernsdoerfer (2) and Zachory Karolidis scored for Langy and 15-year-old central defender Brodie Jones came on for the last 30 minutes. In State 1 South-East news Mornington lost 2-1 at home to Casey Comets. Keegan Ziada was at the back post in the 8th minute to finish off Sam Orritt’s cross from the right and put the home side ahead but Comets responded almost immediately with an excellent finish by Dejan Radojicic and the

sides were locked at 1-1 at half-time. Casey took the lead in the second half with a stunning strike from captain Allando Mathieson in the 56th minute. He turned Mornington defender Sam Scott inside out and from a tight angle on the right of the box lashed the ball past keeper Liam Little and into the roof of the net. Orritt and Scott both struck the crossbar as Mornington pressed in the latter stages of the contest but to no avail. In State 2 South-East news Frankston Pines lost 2-1 away to promotion-chasing Brandon Park on Saturday. Hamlet Armenian put Brandon Park in front with a shot in the 38th minute after Pines failed to clear following a free-kick but Lewis Potter, CJ Hodgson and Kurt Wagner-Goldsworthy all had chances for the visitors. Pines had to replace injured defender Franco Vanni at half-time and former Casey Comets midfielder Jesse Martindale made it 2-0 four minutes into the second half with an excellent free-kick from 25 metres. Hodgson was on the end of an Aaryn Rix cross and finished well in the 55th minute to make it 2-1 and Pines’ best chance of an equaliser fell to Rix in a one-on-one with Brandon Park keeper Peter Koundanis but the Pines’ winger lobbed the ball over both the keeper and the bar. Peninsula Strikers drew 1-1 with Berwick City at Jack Thomas Reserve on Saturday. Berwick took the lead in the 40th minute when David Di Iorio was the

benefactor of an error from Strikers’ keeper Dylan Mery but classy English striker John Prescott equalised in the 65th minute when he cut in from the left and slotted the ball past Berwick keeper Christian Morales. In State 3 South-East news Skye United fell to relegation-threatened Noble Park United 2-1 on Saturday in the local club’s inaugural Chris Attard memorial round. The day commemorated the former club president and ex-FFV Chief Financial Officer who died in 2016 and the turnout reflected his impact on Skye and the respect the Attard family has engendered. But things went awry out on the pitch as Noble Park’s new signing Matty Durand scored in the 20th and 26th minutes. Daniel Attard gave the home team a lifeline in the 64th minute when he finished well from close range however Skye’s slow start to the match ended up proving costly. The Chris Attard medallists in the senior match were Daniel Attard and Noble Park United’s Kegham Aminian. Skye’s reserves won 5-3 and the Chris Attard medallist was Luke Camerota who notched a first-half hattrick. On Sunday Skye announced that teenage senior women’s player Laa Chol had been killed at a party in the Melbourne CBD in the early hours of Saturday morning. A Victoria Police investigation into the incident continues. In NPLW news Southern United’s under-12s won 1-0 away to Alamein on Sunday with Rhiannon Kelleher nabbing the winner. The under-14s skipped three points clear at the top of the table with a Macey Butler goal giving them a 1-0 win while the under-16s lost 4-2 with Monique Lapenta and Haylea Porter scoring for Southern. Next weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: Whittlesea Ranges v Langwarrin (Epping Stadium), South Springvale v Mornington (Warner Reserve), Frankston Pines v Knox City (Monterey Reserve), Peninsula Strikers v Mooroolbark (Centenary Park), Seaford Utd v Skye Utd (North Seaford Reserve), Hampton Park Utd v Baxter (K.M.

Self Sense continues to excite over jumps By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based racehorse trainer David Brideoake topped off the jumps racing season with another dominant performance from his first-season jumper Self Sense on Sunday 8 July. The seven-year-old son of Street Sense has taken all before him in his opening jumps season, moving from a 10-length maiden hurdle romp to breaking the $1 million barrier with a comfortable victory in the Kevin Lafferty Hurdle at Warrnambool, last start. Connections were hoping the exciting flat and hurdle performer could add another jumps feature win to his resume and after a six-length demolition of the Australian Hurdle five weeks prior, Self Sense did just that. Under the hands of rising jockey Clayton Douglas, Self Sense kicked away for an effortless victory over some of the top hurdlers in the country, and provided Douglas with an unsurprising excitement for the future.
“He’s a beauty,” Douglas said. “I’m just thankful that I’ve got a horse like him.” “He just sort of plays with them a little bit, and he has a good look around and does what he has to.” Self Sense is likely to continue to mix his flat racing with jumps racing and return to the flat next start before being targeted towards next month’s Grand National Hurdle (3900m), according to stable representative Alex Woodhams. “We might head back to the flat in a few weeks for a VOBIS Gold staying race at Caulfield and then eight days after that into the National,” he said following Self Sense’s dominant Kevin Lafferty Hurdle victory. “As long as he comes through this well that could be the plan that David may look at following.”

Mitchell ready to strike back PENINSULA boxer Jayde Mitchell isn’t going to let another injury stand in his way of a world title. Having overcome a recent neck surgery to take out his last fight against Ariel Alejandro Zampedri on Saturday 17 March, and jump into the top 10 world rankings, Mitchell is hoping he can do the same again after suffering an injury to his shoulder. Mitchell has had several weeks off to rest and recover from his injury through over-use but gets back into sparring this week. The Blairgowrie boxer was forced to bypass his match-up against Kerry Foley on Saturday 7 July but has re-scheduled the fight to take place on Friday 7 September at The Melbourne Pavillion. Mitchell is confident he can bring up another return victory but is still expecting the very best from a “very tough opponent”.
“He’s got the power in either hand to potentially knock me out,” he said. “He’s been a professional for about 12 years and he’s always had awesome potential to go further, so it will definitely be a hard fight.” Mitchell said he is stoked to have “finally landed a big fight” after several potential fights continually falling through in the build up to his fight with Foley. “While Kerry Foley wasn’t on our radar, after his most recent outing and a first round KO, he called me out! As Vijender’s (Singh) team have ducked us for an easier option this is something I won’t do,” he said on social media. It could potentially become a Peninsula-heavy card, with the likes of Kane Watts, Jai Alexander, Lochie Higgins and Jason Whateley all looking to take up fights on the night. Ben Triandafillou
Westminster grasps national sailing title By Harry Fisher ADELAIDE’S Westminster School capped off an eventful four-year team journey to take out its first Australian Schools Team Sailing Championship on Sunday 15 July at the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron. The four-day regatta came to an exciting finish, especially for the hundreds of spectators on the Blairgowrie pier, as the top eight teams took to the water in strong winds and sloppy seas in order to decide the champions. The same three skippers from Westminster, made up of Alex Higgins,
Matt Meaney and Angus Higgins, have fallen just short of the national title on a couple of occasions but changed their luck with an emphatic victory in the best of five grand final. They met the renowned Scotch College team with the overall result decided in just four races, with Westminster claiming it 3-1. Brighton Grammar School was the surprise packet of the finals. Scraping into eighth position after the Swiss league, Brighton Grammar School went on to make the semifinals only to fall short to the eventual champions in Westminster.
They then raced off against the Friends School from Tasmania in the petit final that would decide third place and fell just short again, however the local fans were still proud of Brighton, as they finished as the first placed Victorian team. Hobart’s Fahan School clinched an emphatic victory in the all-female final, winning the best of three sail-off against Sydney’s Ascham to clinch the school’s first girls championship. At the conclusion of the Swiss league round-robin, the Friends School from Tasmania sat on top of the table in the outright lead,
and worked hard to make their way through a couple of hurdles, but ended up bowing out in the semis to the eventual runners up, Scotch College. Their cross-town rivals, Hutchins School, had similar issues and bowed out of the finals in straight sets after coming into the finals with a double chance in fourth place. When racing wrapped up, celebrations were had on the shore as coaches and sailors alike were dragged into the freezing Blairgowrie waters. More than 300 people packed the club’s main function room to crown
the champions and extend invitations to the inter-dominion team sailing championship in New Zealand later this year. The Australian Team Sailing Association also recognised some individual performances of sportsmanship through the umpire’s awards which were well received with some great storytelling by chief umpire Simon Irving. Next year’s national event heads to Hobart at the Sandy Bay Sailing Club.
