Updated plans for Green Wedge outlined Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON Council has updated its plan for the management of Green Wedge land in the municipality. Council’s Green Wedge management plan was first developed in 2012. Draft changes to the policy will go out for community consultation next week. A statement from Kingston Council outlined changes that have been made

since 2012, and considered in the new draft plan. They include the completion of the Dingley Bypass and advanced construction of Mordialloc Freeway, approval of Amendment C143 which rezoned the northern section of land off Kingston and Heatherton Roads from Special Use Zone Schedule 2 to Green Wedge A Zone, council’s masterplan for the Chain of Parks project, and the proposed Purple Pipe recycled water project. Council also says the draft plan features recognition for the

approval of Hawthorn Football Club’s “significant planned investment into the Green Wedge by providing for an innovative redevelopment of a former landfill site”. Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said council’s draft plan also reinforced its opposition to plans for stabling yards in Heatherton. “Our Green Wedge management plan was first developed in 2012 with a 20year action plan, but a lot has happened since then and it was time to update the

plan,” Cr Staikos said. “This draft plan responds to all the Green Wedge issues that exist in Kingston today, and will see it protected from uses that don’t fit within our long-held vision for our Green Wedge. “Importantly it also reinforces council’s position that the Suburban Rail Loop Authority’s preferred location of the train stabling yards in Heatherton is unacceptable. Council fully intends to defend the Sandbelt Open Space - Chain of Parks Strategy, and

this important core parkland, which has been earmarked for a women’s regional sporting precinct.” Earlier this month suburban rail loop minister Jacinta Allan said that the Heatherton site was the “best location for the suburban rail loop train stabling, minimising compulsory acquisition of homes, businesses and parkland”.

Artist returns to replace mural LIKE a phoenix rising from the ashes, a new mural will be created in Chelsea to replace one that is scheduled to be destroyed. Level crossing removal works will see the Art Pass mural at Chelsea Station destroyed. The mural was completed by artist Anu Patel in 2013. Now that her work is scheduled to be torn down, Ms Patel has been tasked with creating a new artwork to be installed in Chelsea’s shopping precinct. Ms Patel will host workshops with the community to help shape her new piece. The mayor Steve Staikos “the original piece was created following community consultation, in which residents shared their ideas on how to improve feelings of safety in Chelsea. One of these was the creation of a colourful and fun, large-scale mural in the station underpass. Many community members participated in workshops to create the mural – and it became a source of civic pride which was affectionately referred to by locals as The Art Pass.” “We would love to see the same level of community enthusiasm and participation in the development of a new exciting piece of art, which will become an everyday landmark in Chelsea, symbolising this era of investment and improvement – along with a positive reminder of the old Chelsea train station,” he said.

Pay rise for mayor KINGSTON councillors have voted to approve a pay rise for the mayor. At their most recent meeting, councillors approved a motion to determine that “the mayoral allowance increase to $100,434 within the category three range, plus an amount equivalent to the superannuation guarantee contribution.” Council currently pays the mayor $94,282.96 a year, plus super. A report prepared by council officers read that “given the increased responsibility of the mayor with the changes to council structure of nine councillors to eleven and increased legislative responsibilities due to the Local Government Act 2020, it is proposed that the mayoral allowance increase from $94,282.96 to $100,434 which is the maximum allowance afforded to mayors belonging to councils within the category three range, to which the City of Kingston falls under.” Before the change is finalised, council must call for and consider public submissions on the matter. A committee comprised of the mayor Steve Staikos, deputy mayor Hadi Saab, and Cr Georgina Oxley will hear submissions. The allowance for councillors is proposed to remain the same.

Making more possible

Chain of Parks is a priority in new plan Continued from page 1 Kingston Council says it has “completed and planned investments which exceed $22 million from our Green Wedge capital reserve fund to directly deliver the Chain of Parks for southeast Melbourne” since adopting the Green Wedge management plan in 2012. Since 2012 council has opened the 34-hectare Spring Road Reserve in Dingley, purchased land in Clarinda and Dingley Village for the Chain of Parks, completed the 4-hectare Elder Street South Park in Clarinda, and worked with Cleanaway on the redevelopment of the Victory Road landfill to create a 31-hectare park in Clayton South. Council’s ultimate end goal is to complete the Chain of Parks, which will be a series of linked parks created from former landfill sites. The parks will include recreational facilities and open space, and are expected to run from Karkarook Park through to Braeside Park. To read Kingston’s Green Wedge management plan draft and make a submission, visit yourkingstonyoursay.com.au between Tuesday 6 April and Tuesday 4 May.

Use of stolen cards investigated THE use of credit cards stolen from Parkdale late last year is being investigated by police. At around midnight on 21 December, a handbag was stolen from a car on Herbert Street. Credit cards were stolen from the handbag and later used by three people at stores in Camberwell, Abbotsford, Richmond, Fitzroy, and Melbourne East. Detectives have released images of three people, two men and a woman,

who they wish to speak to about the crime. A statement from police read “the first man is approximately 180cm tall, slim build and believed to be aged in his mid-30s. The second man is approximately 180cm tall, muscular build and believed to be aged in his mid-30s. The woman is approximately 178 -180 cm tall, slim build and believed to be aged late 20s to early 30s.” Anyone who recognises the three people is asked to contact Crime Stop-

pers on 1800 333 000 or file a confidential report online at www.crimestoppervic.com.au..

CCTV wanted

MORNINGTON police are keen to hear from residents willing to share their property’s CCTV camera footage in the event of a nearby crime. Senior Sergeant Paul Edwards said a strong victim-centric focus on policing meant they could “leverage off the cameras to improve our response, add to our crime prevention options and assist in solving crime on the Mornington Peninsula”. “By working with our community and building sustainable relationships to enhance our ability to solve and prevent crime, we can reduce harm to the community,” Senior Sergeant Edwards said. Residents are being urged to let police know of any CCTV cameras set up outside their homes – especially cameras covering driveways, front yards, streets, or rear laneways. Security doorbells that activate when pressed would also be useful. Senior Sergeant Edwards said the residents’ data would be recorded on a secure database and not available to the general public. “When a crime occurs, police can refer to the database to see if there is any CCTV in and around the location of the offence,” he said. “Police would then contact the resident to see if

Plans for violence survivors to access super slammed THE re-emergence of a proposal to allow women to access their superannuation to escape domestic violence has been slammed by Dunkley MP Peta Murphy. The federal government’s plan would have allowed women to access $10,000 from their own superannuation. Ms Murphy said the proposal was “not okay”. “Women fleeing domestic violence should not be forced to choose between their and their children’s safety and their financial futures,” she said. “This government continues to fail to listen to the concerns of women across the country and repeatedly presents wholly inadequate, and in this case, counterproductive, responses. “The response of the Morrison government to women needing to flee violent relationships is to say, ‘We know you earn 42 per cent less than men in superannuation, we know that the fastest-growing cohort of homeless people is women over the age of 55, and we know that single women in retirement are more likely to live in poverty than men, but don’t worry—if you need to escape a domestic violent relationship, you can draw down on your retirement savings in order to do so.’ It defies belief that women who are protesting should not only be glad they’re not getting shot but should also have to go into poverty to escape violence.” Nine newspapers reported earlier this month that the federal government would be moving forward with the plan, which was first floated in 2018. The following week Senator Marise Payne told senate estimates that the government would not be pursuing the policy. Brodie Cowburn

Family violence cases rising Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE number of reported family violence incidents in Kingston increased by nearly 10 per cent last year. In the neighbouring Frankston municipality, there was also a 10 per cent increase in reported family incidents. There were 2724 reported occurrences of family violence in the Frankston municipality last year, according to the latest figures released by the Crime Statistics Agency. In 2019 there were 2477. Last year was the third consecutive year in which there had been a rise in local family violence incidents. The number of reported family violence incidents in Frankston remains well above the statewide average. In 2020, the family incident rate per 100,000 people in the Frankston local government area was 1895. The statewide average rate of reported cases was 1380. The rates of family violence in the Frankston LGA are higher than those in the neighbouring Casey, Kingston, Greater Dandenong, and Mornington Peninsula areas. Women are the reported victims of family violence around three times more than men are. Women were listed as the affected people in Frankston family violence incidents a little more than 2000 times last year. Men were the reported victims on just under 700 occasions. Frankston residents aged 35-44 were the worst affected by family violence. 194 children were reported as victims. Statewide family violence incidents increased 9.4 per cent from 2019 to 2020. There were 92,521 family violence incidents recorded in Victoria last year. The number of total offences recorded statewide by Victoria Police in 2020 rose 2.3 per cent from 2019, to a total of 548,354. The criminal offence rate in Kingston and Frankston dropped from 2019 to 2020.

Secret stories of health professionals AS patients, we want our doctors and nurses to be perfect. We want them to be invincible; to manage all of our anxieties and fears in the face of illness. Health professionals are with us when we’re born, and they’re with us when we die. They devote their lives to caring for us, but how do we care for them? How do they cope with the pressure? And when and how is there grace and compassion in the enacting of care? Based on hours of in-depth interviews with health professionals about their experiences of working in hospitals, Grace Under Pressure is a deeply moving theatre experience revealing the hidden stories of doctors and nurses in their own words. Originally programmed in the Frankston Arts Centre’s 2020 theatre season, it is even timelier to ask who cares for our carers in the

face of a global pandemic. This play was inspired by tragedy. In early 2015 there were a spate of suicides by junior doctors – four within a month. Whilst such events are distressingly common within the profession, four deaths in such quick succession rocked the health sector. Something was clearly wrong with the workplace culture of hospitals, and something had to change. Vividly brought to life by a cast of four extraordinary actors, the play takes the audience on an unforgettable journey. There will be laughter, there will be shock, and there will be tears. Alternative Facts presents Grace Under Pressure at Frankston Arts Centre on Thursday 6 May, 7.30pm. Tickets: $27-$60 Bookings: 03 9784 1060 or thefac.com.au.

Hundreds sign to stop kangaroo slaughter Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au HUNDREDS of signatures have already been added to a petition that accuses the government of “overinflating” the number of kangaroos and allowing them to be “harvested” on the Mornington Peninsula. The petition, introduced into the Upper House by the leader of the Victorian Greens and the party’s spokesperson for animals, Dr Samantha Ratnam, follows Mornington Peninsula Shire asking the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) for details and scientific research about the peninsula’s eastern grey kangaroos. The petition, now available online, calls on the government to suspend kangaroo culls and improve methods used to count kangaroo populations as well moving the peninsula out of the kangaroo harvest program (KHP) Gippsland zone into the metropolitan Melbourne zone. It says culling kangaroos has been “a contentious issue for a long time” on the peninsula. “The Victorian government appear to be over-inflating kangaroo numbers as their count excludes large parts of the state’s landscapes, meaning that kangaroo numbers could be grossly overestimated,” the petition states. “During the black summer bush-

fires of 2020, approximately three billion wildlife were killed, injured or displaced.” The petition says experts say the government’s estimated 40 per cent increase in kangaroo numbers in 2020 is “not scientifically possible”. “Kangaroos on the Mornington Peninsula are under threat from increased development, traffic, fencing, shooting and now from the kangaroo harvest program (KHP). “The peninsula is an isolated and landlocked area and is home to the eastern grey kangaroo population. Threatened species were once common and perceived as pests and we hope to ensure that kangaroos in Victoria, especially in the Mornington Peninsula, do not become threatened.” The move by council to contact and meet with DELWP follows a failed attempt by Cr David Gill to have kangaroo shooting banned on the peninsula. At a later meeting councillors agreed to seek more information from DELWP. “Our kangaroos are no more pests than koalas; kangaroos eat different grasses to sheep and cattle and do little damage to farm land,” Cr Gill said. “Governments and some large property owners believe that shooting kangaroos is OK. However, many are wounded, and joeys are often left to die of starvation”.

Timely jab: Peninsula Health infection prevention and control unit’s Ingrid de Beer, left, and Sue Thorpe, prepare a COVID-19 vaccine. Picture: Supplied

Jabs welcomed by healthcare staff PUBLIC sector aged care residents and staff on the Mornington Peninsula have begun receiving their first doses of COVID-19 vaccine. Residents at Peninsula Health’s Carinya Aged Care Centre at Capel Sound rolled up their sleeves last week, as phase 1a of the vaccine rollout is expanded across the region after beginning with frontline healthcare staff at Frankston Hospital. Carinya nurse unit manager Michelle Paine says Carinya’s staff, residents and their families are keen to receive the first of their two vaccine doses, as they see the vaccine program as an important step towards protect-

ing themselves and each other. “The last 12 months have been very challenging for the aged care sector, for the families of the residents, as well as the staff,” she said. “That’s why everyone is so grateful for getting vaccinated so everyone can have the confidence of that extra layer of protection.” Ms Paine said: “Our residents spent time isolated from friends and family for lengthy spells, last year in particular, so the vaccination process is such an important and vigilant step for them to be taking. “There was a lot of behind-thescenes work involved in implement-

ing the vaccination program, and our residents were very closely monitored after receiving the vaccine. “We all look forward to 2021 being a much better year ahead, especially with the rollout of the vaccination program.” Peninsula Health Staff COVID-19 vaccination clinics are accepting eligible workers in phase 1a in the vaccination rollout. Those wanting to find out what phase they are in can use the federal government’s vaccine eligibility calculator. For more information about the COVID-19 vaccine visit the state government’s coronavirus website.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Death averted after Moorooduc Quarry accident Compiled by Cameron McCullough AT the Moorooduc Stone Quarries on Monday, an employee, Mr Charles Darcey, had a narrow escape from death. He was riding on a truck which was conveying stone from the quarry face to the breakers, when the wire rope controlling the vehicle snapped. The truck immediately gathered momentum and sped down the incline at a terrific speed. Before it reached the bottom, Mr Darcey sprang to the ground and in so doing, struck his chest against a stump. He was very badly shaken, but appears otherwise to have escaped serious injury. *** THE Easter holidays start tomorrow. Already a great many visitors have arrived at Frankston – Osborne House, Frankston House, and the rest all having full quotas. The various pleasure resorts along the bayside to Sorrento and Portsea and to Cowes, Flinders and San Remo on the Westernport side report large influxes of Eastertide tourists. Should the weather be not unsociable, a merry time should be spent by the holiday-makers amidst the manifold beauties of the Peninsula. *** NEXT Tuesday night, a dance will eventuate at the Mehanincs’ Institute, Frankston. The objective is a laudable one – the raising of funds to assist the Royal Victorian Institute for the Blind – so the dance should prove both financially and socially successful. The secretary, Mr Mark Brody, has

left nothing to be desired in the way of arrangements, whilst the music will be supplied by Rimmer’s Orchestra, specially engaged for the night. *** A DAIRYMAN, M. Curley, of Carrum was proceeded against at the Caulfield Police Court on Friday last for allegedly using soap to stop a leak in his milk can, and with having used a can that was so dented that it could not be properly cleaned, and with not having his can lid so fixed that it could not be removed without breaking the seal. Inspector Stewart stated that in a dint of the lid thick dirt could be removed with the finger and brown rust was floating on the top of the milk. Curley was found guilty, and fines inflicted amounted to £6 10s and £3 costs. *** STARTING from today, a special train service will operate on the Frankston line during the holidays. Five specials were added to today’s ordinary service, whilst the Mornington train ran express to Frankston and in two divisions. Tomorrow, specials will leave Flinders Street for Frankston at 8.3, 10.10, and 12.25 whilst the one leaving at 8.30 will make Carrum its terminus. There will also be a special from the city at 10.10 a.m. on March 29th, whilst on March 25th and 29th an extra train at 2.35 from Melbourne will be run to Hastings and Stony Point, returning at 6.30 p.m, for the convenience of those who desire to travel by the S.S. Genista to Phillip Island. On those days, the 11.30 a.m from

Stony Point will run non-stop from Frankston to Mordialloc and Glenhuntly. A stopping train will follow closely from Frankston. *** THE employees of J. Kitchen & Sons Pty Ltd held their annual picnic at Frankston on Saturday last. Two special trains were utilised and about 700 people were present. The Musician’s Club Orchestra was in attendance, and the day was devoted to a lengthy programme of sports. The prizes were presented by Mr W. J. Kitchen at the close of the day, and, as the firm gave £50, the three principals £60, with £52 from the employees, good prizes were available. Besides Mr W. J. Kitchen, Messrs F. W. and J. A. Kitchen were amongst those present. *** THE Minister of Public Works, Mr Frank Clarke, has received more than a dozen petitions from various sources regarding the recasting of municipalities. A part of Moorabbin desires to be annexed to Mentone and Mordialloc; Langwarrin desires to leave Cranbourne and embrace Frankston and Hastings whilst the re-subdivision of the Frankston and Hastings Shire is also under consideration. A public notice concerning it is published in “The Standard” today. Mr Clarke has quite a busy time of it, but the latter two, concerning Langwarrin and Mt Eliza, may be finalised after the holidays. *** AT the District Court, Melbourne,

PUZZLE ZONE

on Thursday last, two Balnarring fruitgrowers, and a Tyabb grower, were fined £5 with costs for various offences against the Fruit Act. One Pearcedale grower was fined £3 and costs, whilst orchardists from Hurst Bridge, Diamond Creek, Burwood, Ringwood, Kyabram and Ferntree Gully were similarly fined. *** AN exchange states that Captain Stanley M. Bruce, M.P., of Frankston, who is now visiting England, is likely to succeed Sir Joseph Cook as Treasurer of the Commonwealth. Mr Bruce is the representative of Flinders electorate in the Federal Parliament and is a member of the Flinders Lane firm, Paterson, Laing and Bruce Pty. Ltd. Born at Melbourne 40 years ago he was educated at the Melbourne Grammar School, and the Cambridge University, where he was a champion athlete. He was wounded at Gallipoli, and wears a Military Cross on his breast. *** TO the Editor Sir, in your issue of the 18th inst, it is interesting to note that the shire engineer reported having metalled this road and that. For 3½ years I have wondered whether Playne street is in this shire, or out of it, and the only evidence of it being in this shire is the regular delivery of the rate notices, but what Playne street residents are paying rates for they have yet to learn as it is evident the money that is being paid is being spent on roads where the traffic is practically nil.

Evidently the shire engineer has not noticed the condition of Playne street, on a wet day, or has considered it unworthy of his attention. Of all the streets in Frankston this is the one that carries the heaviest traffic, and has the least attention. I am sure I will be supported when I claim that it is high time that something was done. The heavy rain of the 15th inst., and its attendant damage, is sufficient evidence of the faulty formation and inadequate drainage, caused solely by neglect. I notice that Beach Street, from the railway to Melbourne Road (one resident) has been metalled, and it causes one to wonder whether there is someone with Beach Street interests and influence; if so, it is a great pity that the interest and influence of the individual, or individuals is not scattered over a greater area. Playne Street (or more appropriate, Plain Street) is a disgrace to the town, and it does not reflect credit on the councillors representing it. If the porchway or entrance of the town is to be sacrificed on the altar of £ s d., then it is high time that somebody woke up. I trust that my letter will be the means of having some improvement made, and I am sure, Sir, you will welcome and publish legitimate correspondence bearing on this matter, as it is one of importance to the town. Yours, etc., A. E. LASSLETT. *** FROM the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 25 March 1921

Dolphins defeat Bullants under lights VFL

By Brodie Cowburn THE Frankston Dolphins scored a come-from-behind win in their first game under lights at home. The match was the first played under the new lights at Skybus Stadium. The Dolphins played host to the Northern Bullants on Thursday night. Despite being down by two points at three-quarter-time, the Dolphins were able to claw their way back to secure a gritty 13 point win. The Northern Bullants are recovering from a rocky period in their history. Carlton Football Club ended its affiliation with the side in 2020, which looked like it could be a death blow for the 139-year-old club. The Bullants were not set to be part of the eventually cancelled 2020 VFL season, but are back on board for 2021. The Dolphins defeated the Bullants 11.4 (70) to 8.9 (57).

Ethan Goulding scores on debut SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie TEENAGE midfield sensation Ethan Goulding marked his senior debut with a goal in Mornington’s 5-0 rout of Warragul United last weekend. The 16-year-old former Melbourne City junior scored in the 41st minute to give the visitors to Warragul’s Baxter Park a 3-0 half-time lead. Josh Hine opened the scoring in the third minute following a corner which was headed on by Josh Heaton and Hine was at the far post to tuck it away. Milos Lujic increased the lead in the 39th minute after getting on the end of a Hine shot and Ethan Goulding smashed home the third at the back post but injured himself in the process. He was subbed at half-time but the Goulding family wasn’t finished with Warragul yet. Older brother Luke made it 4-0 in the 72nd minute after a good build up and substitute Campbell Steedman rounded off a fine day for Adam Jamieson’s table-topping outfit with a goal in the 84th minute. In NPL2 Langwarrin had its second straight win when it beat Northcote 2-1 at Lawton Park on Saturday. All three goals came in the second half with the opener involving a slick interchange between George Howard, Wayne Wallace and Tom Youngs with Youngs slotting the ball past advancing Northcote keeper Phillip Petrovski in the 63rd minute. Damir Stoilovic gave Langy a twogoal cushion in the 86th minute when he tucked away Isaiah Joseph’s low cross from the left at the second attempt. Anthony Rizk scored from the penalty spot in the first minute of time added for Northcote’s sole reply. In State 2 Nick Scialpi reports that Peninsula Strikers went down 3-2 at home to Doncaster Rovers last weekend after Ben Doree had given the local side a 5th-minute lead. A Jason Hart header in the 51st minute made it 1-1 and a Shane Tagliaferro own goal in the 66th minute put the visitors ahead.

Aaran Currie equalised in the 71st minute running onto a Tagliaferro ball over the top but Doncaster grabbed the winner in the 93rd minute when Hart was presented with a tap-in after a break on the left. Skye United went down 3-0 away to Old Scotch last weekend. Skye’s Daniel Wash was red carded in the 42nd minute after receiving a second caution. In State 3 Frankston Pines continued a winning start to a season of high expectation when it defeated Elwood City 4-1 at Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve on Friday night. CJ Hodgson would have given Pines the lead in the 2nd minute had Elwood keeper Ben Paris not effected a remarkable reaction save. Elwood should have taken the lead three minutes later when Anthony Moran broke on the right but his far post cross was blasted over by the incoming Cam Neales. Elwood was matching its more favoured opponent throughout the first period but Scott Webster broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute. A Christian Malgioglio corner wasn’t properly punched clear by Paris and Webster headed home.

A few minutes into the second half Hamraz Zenoozi was forced off with an ankle injury. His replacement Alex Roberts had a major impact as did quicksilver Fijian striker Tito Vodawaqa who revelled in the freedom of the wide left role vacated by Zenoozi. Vodawaqa gave Pines breathing space in the 60th minute when he motored clear and finished in style. Roberts had sent in some tantalising balls from the right and in the 65th minute we saw another string to his bow when he rose well to head home Hodgson’s curling corner from the left. Suddenly it was 3-0 and Pines were in cruise control. Gino Defeo came off the Elwood bench in the 80th minute and six minutes later made it 3-1 but Vodawaqa ended any thoughts of a late miracle for the visitors by breaking clear on the left in the 93rd minute and again slotting the ball past the helpless Paris. In State 4 Seaford United won a crazy local derby with a 5-3 victory over Somerville Eagles at Tyabb Central Reserve on Saturday. Peter Schwellinger’s side stunned the home team with a five-goal first

half. A Dylan Waugh hat-trick and a Mitch Hawkins double set up what loomed as a hiding for Dave Greening’s men but Somerville hit back in the second period and goals from Stephen McInerheney, Ash Scholes and Greening had Seaford on the back foot. “That first half was inexcusable and inexplicable but fair play to Seaford they punished us for every little mistake,” Greening said. “But barring some questionable refereeing and linesman decisions we could have snatched a point.” Baxter lost 3-1 at home to FC Noble Hurricanes while Chelsea lost 2-0 away to Endeavour United. Baxter was abysmal against a side with only one change from the starting line-up hammered 5-1 the previous week by Chelsea. Four minutes in and Robbie O’Toole was forced off through injury and replaced by Jack Buttery. Fifteen minutes in and Netra Chheng was allowed to break forward from just inside his attacking half and although Baxter keeper James Foster did well to parry Chheng’s first attempt Chheng’s second try was knocked in from close

range by Anthony Tang. Chheng proceeded to taunt, tease and burst forward at every opportunity and Baxter was powerless to stop him. The home side’s passing was dreadful and a Ben Meiklem nutmeg was pretty much all that its fans had to cheer in the second half. By the time referee Dragoslav Mirkovic put them out of their misery a mazy run and fine finish from Adilson Andrade De Melo and a low deflected strike from Chheng had settled this one. Luke Grant’s late penalty was little consolation for Baxter. In State 5 Aspendale Stingrays was the only local side to grab all three points thanks to a 2-1 away win against South East United. Rosebud lost 1-0 at home to Hampton Park United while Mount Martha went down 3-1 away to Bunyip District with Kiel Burich scoring for Mount Martha. Michael Antic, Taylor Davison, Ugur Erdem and Hayden Nuhanovic finally made their league debuts for the Stingrays after what should have been the club’s opening round of the season the previous week was postponed. Kenan Nuhanovic put the visitors 1-0 up in the 54th minute following a Justin Lampert cross but South East levelled via a Denis Karac header 10 minutes later. James Macnab got the winner from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute after Kenan Nuhanovic was brought down. There are no league fixtures this holiday weekend so the focus switches to the FFA Cup with four local sides remaining in the Victorian section of the national competition. This week’s FFA Cup matches: THURSDAY: Frankston Pines v Epping City (Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve, 8pm). FRIDAY: Whittlesea Utd v Langwarrin (Mosaic Reserve, 5pm). SATURDAY: Peninsula Strikers v North Geelong Warriors (Centenary Park, 2pm), Box Hill Utd v Mornington (Wembley Park, 3.15pm).

Five Star Decanter remains unbeaten HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou MATT Laurie’s promising three-yearold Five Star Decanter continued his unbeaten record on Sunday 28 March with a strong win at Sale. Bringing up his second win over 1200m, the gelded son of Roc De Cambes came from the rear of the field to reel in his rivals in the final stages of the race to win by half-ofa-head. The Patrick Payne-trained Mccain finished in second with the race-favourite Phillip Stokes-trained Keep On Bopping finishing a length away in third. Mornington-based trainer Matt Laurie was glad to see his promising stayer settle better in his race. “We’ve kept him to the furlong because he can be a little bit keen and he’s a horse with a pedigree that suggests he’ll get further so we’re just trying to make sure that he relaxes,” Laurie said. “He did come back, he got a little bit wobbly coming into the turn and I got a little bit worried but he rallied well and I was happy to see him win. He’s probably ready to step

up in distance now.” Following the victory, Laurie said a 1400m contest at Caulfield in a fortnight could be the next target if the gelding pulls up well. “He looks like a nice horse in the making but he’s probably not quite there yet. It’s his first racing preparation so he’s going to improve a lot by the time he spells and comes back for his next one. We’ve liked the way he’s done his trials and I like the way he gallops – he has a nice big lengthy action and looks progressive,” Laurie said. “If he bounces through this run there’s no reason why wouldn’t look at running him again.” Five Star Decanter is out of a Darci Brahma mare, Aurora Lights, who placed third in the Group One New Zealand Oaks (2400m) in 2013.
