Cyclist killed in alleged hit and run Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A WOMAN has died after an alleged hit and run incident in Chelsea on 28 March.

50-year-old Chelsea triathlete Michelle Ruitenbeek was riding her bike along the Nepean Highway at around 5.40am when she was allegedly struck by a ute. She was taken to hospital but died two days later.

Police allege that the driver of the ute fled the scene.

Ms Ruitenbeek was a member of the Mornington Peninsula Triathlon Club. MPTC president Kirrily Guinan took to social media to pay tribute to a “beautiful human being”.

“It’s with the heaviest of hearts that we acknowledge the tragic passing of Michelle Ruitenbeek. Those blessed to know Michelle will be heartbroken as they reflect on the passing of a dear

friend known for her energy, tenacity, enthusiasm and unwavering support of others within our community. Those not so close to Michelle will equally be devastated to learn of the passing of one of our own and the grief so many close to Michelle are feeling right now,” she said.

“Today, on behalf of the MPTC Committee, the MPTC membership group and the triathlon community more widely, we offer our heartfelt

love to Michelle, her family and those closest to her. We cannot change the awful circumstances of Michelle’s death, but we can take this moment and amplify her life and her passing by supporting Michelle’s family in the days ahead, by supporting each other as we grieve, and by ensuring that this tragic accident informs the decisions we collectively make to safeguard ourselves and others on the road.”

A 28-year-old Parkdale man was ar-

rested in Broadmeadows in relation to the alleged incident. His car was located in Seaford a little after 8am. He was charged with dangerous driving causing serious injury and failing to render assistance. Those charges are expected to be upgraded.

The Parkdale man appeared in an out of session’s court hearing on 28 March. He was bailed to appear in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 1 August.

Plan for action: Kingston’s prevention of family violence action plan has been unveiled. Picture: Supplied

Family violence prevention plan launched Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON Council launched their prevention of family violence action plan on 27 March, aiming to put a stop to family violence within the community.

The launch was attended by Kingston’s woman of the year Emma Gierschick and representatives from groups working to stamp out family violence.

The plan, which was officially adopted by council in October of last

year, outlines the goals of council as “increasing understanding of family violence and gender inequality as an underlying cause, challenging behaviours and attitudes that support violence, sexism and discrimination, promoting and normalising gender equality in public and private, and developing Kingston infrastructure, community spaces and activities that are safe, welcoming and inclusive.”

The plan says that council will do a number of things to help them reach those goals, including to “advocate for policy, legislative and institutional reform to support gender equality and

family violence prevention, align with national, state and local organisations and alliances that undertake a diverse range of advocacy and activism to promote gender equality and family violence prevention, deliver primary prevention family violence initiatives through regional partnerships including promoting state awareness raising campaigns, celebrate and undertake local promotion of relevant national and international events that support family violence prevention, and inform the community about council’s family violence prevention strategies and activities.”

THE doors of the Moorabbin Meals on Wheels service are set to close, with the service to be run exclusively from Bonbeach from 1 July onwards.

The mayor Cr Georgina Oxley said the service needed to be consolidated because the Moorabbin site had not been updated in “many years”.

“Kingston was proud to invest in a new purpose built delivered meals kitchen which opened in Bonbeach in late 2015. This larger kitchen is able to cater for Kingston’s entire delivered meals program, which is also facing decreasing demand due to the rise in alternatives including frozen meals and home deliveries,” she said.

“Our delivered meals service is a key pillar in council’s support services for our ageing community and we could not provide this valued service without our team of dedicated volunteers. While some of our Moorabbin based volunteers will choose to stay on and move to our Bonbeach kitchen, others may decide this is the right time for them to retire or try their hand at something new.

“We will be holding a special event to honour and thank those volunteers for the positive difference they have made in their local community. Some of our Moorabbin team have volunteered for decades, with our longest serving member taking part for over 50 years.

“Services will not be impacted by this change and people receiving meals will continue to receive their deliveries as normal.”

week activities ENVIRONMENT Week at The Briars historic property, Mt Martha included activities and half-day programs for students in years 1-6.

Schools could choose Engaging with Nature, Indigenous Connection to Country, Homestead Heritage and Sustainable Living with children exploring two areas in their chosen program.

In Engaging with Nature, students took part in weaving and visited the Briars Nature Nook to check for birds, bats and wildlife in the nesting boxes, as well as read interpretative signs. On the wetlands boardwalk they stopped to explore the sounds, plants and animals, and observed and sketched birds with Birdlife Mornington Peninsula. Some got close to emus and wallabies.

Local leaders explained Aboriginal culture while the students tasted bush tucker and gained insights into bush craft, language and community.

Indigenous man Lionel Lauch shared his knowledge of food and fibre plants and wetlands flora. He led the children through the wetlands, while explaining how the plants are harvested and used for food, medicine and utensils.

Years 3-6 students explored the Eco Living Display Centre and learned about “living green”. They saw firsthand how they can reduce waste at home and learn about decomposition, and investigated what things can influence energy efficiency.

Rain a blow to beach water quality Five of the Mornington Peninsula’s Port Phillip beaches are ranked in the top 10 for water quality by Environment Protection Authority Victoria.

Top of the 36-beach list for having the best water quality over summer was Santa Casa, followed closely

by Easter, The Dell and Portarlington – all beaches on the Bellarine peninsula.

Portsea and Rosebud came in at equal five, up from eight the previous summer.

Overall, water quality at the bay’s beaches was rated good throughout summer, except after large rain events which produced days when swimming should not take place.

Brighton came in as the worst of 36 bay beaches checked by the EPA. The beach was adversely affected after a sewage leak in a nearby street which triggered poor water quality for seven days in a row.

The EPA’s chief environmental scientist Dr Andrea Hinwood said water quality was “fairly even across locations”.

“Whatever contaminants wash off the streets of Melbourne in a rain storm wind up in the bay, bringing with them the risks of infections, stomach upsets and skin irritation,” she said.

Contaminants washing into the bay included animal droppings, litter, plastics, cigarette butts and detergents.

“There are several things you can do about that: don’t litter, be careful what you allow to wash into the gutters and stormwater drains in your street and check the Yarra and Bay website before you hit the beach,” Dr Hinwood said.

WHILE sometimes it doesn’t always appear to be a place for a leisurely swim, Safety Beach is in the top 10 beaches on Port Phillip for having good quality water over the past summer.

One other common cause of poor water quality is algae, which occurs naturally in the bay and varies according to conditions.

“We advise people to avoid swimming near stormwater or river outlets for 24 to 48 hours after heavy rain, because that’s when animal droppings and other contaminants are washed into the bay from beaches and streets,” Dr Hinwood said.

Ranked 10th on the EPA’s water quality list (with last summer’s ranking in brackets) were Carrum (19), Mt

Martha (11) and Safety Beach, 10 (5).

Other rankings were Sorrento 15 (5); Dromana 16 (8); Blairgowrie 17 (11); Canadian Bay 18 (19); Rye 18 (17); Frankston near the lifesaving club 23 (26); Mornington 26 (31); Beaumaris 28 (17); Frankston near the coast guard 28 (26); Seaford 30 (19).

Beach reports will reopen for next summer on 1 December. Check EPA forecasts for water quality at swimming spots by visiting www.yarraandbay.vic.gov.au Keith Platt

Lost locks: Mentone Grammar School students Ava and Kate were among 26 students who cut their hair to raise money for charity. Picture: Supplied

26 students team up for charity cause O’Neill said “this year, 26 of our students from years 5 to 12 took part in the shave for a cure, raising over $20,000 for the cause.”

“The students are ecstatic about being able to make such a significant contribution to the Leukaemia Foundation,” Mr O’Neill said.

“The event is student run so the students feel empowered to create change, which is why it’s so successful.

“Every student who participated has their own connection to the cause and there’s a lot of emotion on the day.”

STUDENTS from Mentone Grammar School have gone under the razor to help raise money for the World’s Greatest Shave.

Over 25 students decided to partake in the shave on 29 March with the goal of raising funds to help find a cure for blood disease.

Prior to the event they had brought in over $15,000 which eventually went up to over $20,000 after the shave took place.

Departure from Dolphins a ‘kick in the guts’ Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FORMER general manager of the Frankston Football Club Gary Buckenara said he is “bitterly disappointed” at the club’s decision to let him go on the eve of the 2019 VFL season.

Buckenara was appointed general manager of the Dolphins in January 2017, and helped guide the club back into the VFL after they had their license revoked in 2016. On 25 March it was announced that they had parted ways.

Buckenara told The Times he was

“blindsided” by the decision.

“It’s one of the biggest kicks in the guts I’ve ever had in footy. I thought I’d done a great job for them to help them get to a position where there was light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.

“We were hosting more games, there were more dollars coming in. We were looking at plans to host AFLW games and JLT preseason games, we were also looking at getting into the VFLW space. There were some really good plans, there were more opportunities for the business to grow and with that I would have grown too. That’s why I’ve been so bitterly disappointed that

they’ve made that decision and didn’t give me the opportunity to see through the plan. I had a vision of another five years there. I felt it was a rough decision not to let me see it through.

“Over the last couple of years the club lost its license and that’s when I came in. The big focus was to start raising money and increase membership, and that’s what I’ve done for the last two years. They’ve gone from 180 members to 1200 plus there’s been record sponsorship. I’ve been a part of lobbying to get broadcast quality lights and extra facilities, we’d got to a point now where there was some light at the

end of the tunnel. I was blindsided myself when they said they wanted a different management style.”

Buckenara said he feels it might be time for him to move on from football after the Dolphins decided his time was up.

“To be honest you never say never, but I’d prefer my next role to not be in football. Basically with my experiences now of what the AFL system is like and the type of people it attracts, it’s become a very selfish environment. I love the game, I’ve loved being part of it, and I think I’ve made a difference.”

Frankston Football Club president Pe-

ter Geddes acknowledged Buckenara as a “factor” in the club returning to the VFL for the 2018 season, but told The Times “it was best for the club to continue in a different direction.”

“Gary played a role in getting us back into the VFL, as did many people. We had a lot of people contribute,” he said.

“We’re about halfway towards our objectives to make sure our club stays out of the hands of administrators. That process doesn’t finish until 2020, so that’s been the compelling drive. That’s the significant factor in the decision to move in this certain direction.”

Police patrol

with Brodie Cowburn

Police seize drugs at Edithvale house DRUGS, cash, and electronic devices were seized by police from a house in Edithvale on 28 March.

A warrant was executed at the property as part of an “ongoing” drug trafficking investigation.

Moorabbin Frontline Tactical unit members entered the Lochiel Avenue property at around 4.40am and arrested two people.

Two Edithvale men, aged 23 and 24, were charged with trafficking ketamine, trafficking cocaine, trafficking methylamphetamine, trafficking prescription drugs and dealing with property suspected of being proceeds of crime.

They were remanded in custody and appeared at the Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court on 29 March.

License plate operation nabs three drivers AN automatic number plate recognition operation resulted in three arrests on Frankston-Dandenong road on Monday, 25 March.

The first arrest made as a result of Operation Kinetic was of a 48-year-old Carrum Downs woman at around 10.30am, who is alleged to have tried to avoid the site by doing a u turn.

Carrum Downs police intercepted her vehicle and conducted a breath test, which resulted in a reading of 0.144. She is expected to be charged on summons with drive while disqualified, drink driving and fail to stop on police direction. Her car was impounded for 30 days.

Shortly after police intercepted another driver after the number plate recognition system revealed they were driving with a suspended license.

It is alleged that the 46-year-old Cranbourne woman gave a false name and address in addition to driving with a suspended license.

She is expected to be charged on summons with state false name and address, drive while suspended and fail to display P plates. Her vehicle was also impounded for 30 days.

A 50-year-old Frankston man also had his car impounded for a month after allegedly being caught driving with a suspended license.

IN THE specialists HANDS HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

Your Hearing Questions Answered Is it important for patients to see an audiologist if they think they may be having difficulties hearing?

Yes, if you are starting to notice difficulties it’s important to have a full hearing test. We don’t just test which sounds you can hear, we also check how clearly you can understand speech, in quiet and in background noise.

Some common indications that you may have a hearing loss are: Turning the TV up Frequently asking for repeats Not being able to hear properly on the telephone Difficulty in noisy situations such as restaurants Missing out on important parts of the conversation Often your partner or a close family member may be the first person to notice that you are having difficulty hearing.

Is it true that a lot of patients don’t actually need hearing aids?

Yes. Probably 25 percent of those that we see do choose to get hearing aids.

Some people have a little bit of hearing loss that we just need to talk about, and continue to monitor.

Are there steps people who aren’t ready for hearing aids can do to help combat hearing loss?

Yes. Pick a seat in a restaurant where

you can see the faces of the people that you are taking to. This can make it easier to follow what they are saying.

With the television, if you’re not ready for hearing aids, we can get a set of cordless headphones. These can be one of the best options for hearing the TV clearly.

Are there ever very simple solutions to hearing loss?

Yes. Sometimes a hearing loss can be caused by ear wax blocking the canal.

If someone needs a hearing aid, should they always choose the most expensive, top-of-the-line model?

Most people don’t need the most expensive hearing aids, fully loaded with all the bells and whistles. It really is patient specific. You don’t always need the absolute top-of theline hearing aid technology, if the features that you need are available in something less expensive.

At Chelsea Hearing, we always offer you a range of options, and it is up to you to choose something that you are comfortable with. You should never feel pressured to proceed with hearing aids that you don’t feel ready for.

Are smaller hearing aids more expensive?

Generally, the style of the hearing aid does not have very much impact on the price. There are very good, small hearing aids available at all price points.

Larger hearing aids are not necessarily less expensive either. The good news

is that the very small, comfortable hearing aids are suitable for most people these days.

How much do hearing aids cost?

Most people who are on a Centrelink pension (such as an age pension or a disability pension) are eligible for the Office of Hearing Services Voucher program. This enables them to choose from a range of hearing aids that are “free-to-client”. These hearing aids have improved significantly over the past few years, and a lot of people are pleasantly surprised at how natural they sound, and how small and comfortable they can be. Pensioners can also choose to contribute to more expensive hearing aids if they wish.

For people who are not eligible for the voucher program, hearing aids typically start at $2,700 for a pair.

What brand of hearing aids to you recommend?

Chelsea Hearing is an independent clinic. We fit hearing aids from all of the major manufacturers. Our recommendations are made after we have tested your hearing, looked in your ears, and had a discussion about the things that you want to hear well.

We also take the time to consider your preference for style and size of the hearing aids, as well as your budget. We will recommend the most appropriate hearing aids for you, and we will always give you a range of options to choose from.

What is your philosophy on health care?

If I wouldn’t do it for my Mum or Dad, I don’t do it for a patient. When I’m making recommendations for a patient, I think “if this was my mum or dad, with this hearing loss, and these difficulties, would I be making the same recommendations?”. If the answer is “yes”, then I know I’m doing my best for a patient.

What does the relationship you have with your patients mean to you?

The patient comes first. The patient is your customer and you want to have the healthiest, happiest patient that you can. That makes me happy as well. To know that we are helping that patient to be happy is just rewarding.

What is one thing about your job that really sticks out in a positive way?

It’s really nice to be able to make a difference for people. Often the partner of the person with a hearing loss may have been repeating themselves and having to speak louder for years.

When we help with a hearing loss (often with hearing aids) it’s often the family members who notice the benefit first. Suddenly they don’t have to repeat everything, and they don’t get so tired from speaking loudly all day. It can make a big difference for the whole family.

the right pace of the individual patient.

Some people come in here, and they know they want to get hearing aids and they want to get it all happening as quickly as possible. Other people come in, and they are having some difficulties hearing, but they don’t know if they have a hearing loss. They may need a little bit more time to understand their hearing loss, and the options available.

It doesn’t help anyone to push someone in to getting hearing aids before they are ready for them, or to pressure someone to purchase hearing aids that cost more than they are comfortable with. Sometimes the best thing to do is explain what’s causing the problem, and what solutions are available. It can also be helpful to bring your partner or a close family member to your appointment with you.

Do you have rules that you live by when treating patients?

My number one rule is to take things at

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Shire to clamp down on overdue rates Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE sum outstanding in the Shire of Frankston and Hastings for arrears of rates totals something like £800.

At last Thursday’s Council meeting it was decided to get this amount in without further loss of time.

Defaulters are given 14 days in which to pay up, failing which legal proceedings will be instituted.

Ratepayers, who through carelessness or oversight have neglected to pay their rates, would do well to communicate with the shire secretary immediately. *** ATTENTION is directed to the advertisement of Mr M. L. Goulding appearing in another column.

Mr Goulding, who saw active service with the 58th. Batt. of the A.I.F. has taken over the garage adjoining the Pier Hotel, Frankston, where motor cars may be hired at reasonable rates.

The requirements of motorists will also be attended to with promptitude and efficiency. *** MANY admiring glances were directed to the 35 h.p, “Itala” which Mr Bradbury, the manager, installed in the Company’s garage at Frankston this week.

The car is a superior class of Continental make. It presents a very handsome appearance, and has the advantage of being able to seat seven persons comfortably besides the driver. *** PROTESTANT Federation. Under the auspices of the Frankston branch a public meeting will be held in the Mechanics’ Institute next Friday evening, when the Rev. Hugh Kelly will speak.

A good musical programme will be submitted, including items by Miss Crome, of Melbourne, and other visiting vocalists. A collection will be made. *** FRANKSTON Police Court. Monday, 31st March. Before Messrs S. Sherlock, (Chairman) and W. J. Oates, J’s.P. Vaccination Case.

Francis A. Wilby, charged with failing to have his child vaccinated, was fined 40s., with 6s costs, in default distress.

A Good Samaritan in Trouble.

Alex. Dawson, for allowing a motorcycle to stand on the roadway without lights, on the night of the 16th March, was fined 10s with 6s 6d costs, in default distress.

The evidence of Alfred Owen, cab driver for Mr Stephens, of Carrum, went to show that on the night in question, at about eight o’clock, he was driving his vehicle along the main road in the direction of Frankston.

He pulled off on to the side of the road to allow, an approaching motor car to pass, and in so doing ran over, defendant’s motor cycle.

When he got down to investigate, he found the machine lying half on the sand and half on the asphalt. He saw no one about.

Defendant: Didn’t I run out and try to stop you ?

Witness: Not that I know of.

Constable Cole, of Chelsea, said he met defendant, after the accident, wheeling the machine along the road.

He had no light then.

Defendant, in extenuation, said he got off his machine, and left it stand-

ing well off the asphalt, to go to the assistance of a man he saw lying by the roadside, and while he was thus engaged the cab ran over his motorcycle.

Constable Cole said he saw a man in defendant’s company who appeared to be injured in some way. They seemed unwilling to discuss the matter and would offer no explanation as to the man’s condition.

The Bench in fixing the amount of fine said defendant was liable to a penalty of £20. They accepted his story that he had acted the part of the good Samaratan.

Interpleader Case.

Catherine Bineham appeared as claimant in an interpleader summons arising out of a seizure made on a warrant of execution issued at the instance of Thomas. and Co., against Thomas Bineham.

Mr Utber appeared for the claimant and Mr Chambers represented the judgment creditor.

Constable Diaball stated that he executed the warrant and made a seizure of certain property including a cow, piano, carpet and racing sulky.

In reply to Mr Utber witness said that the claimant, Mrs Bineham, claimed the property as hers at the time the seizure was made.

Claimant, in her evidence, said that the piano and carpet were given to her daughter and herself by witness’s sister, who resided at Warragul.

The cow was given to witness by Mr. Southen, and her money paid for the racing sulky.

The receipt (produced) was for the vehicle in question, and was issued in her name.

witness stated that she earned money of her own by keeping boarders. Her people also gave her money.

Wm. Southan testified to the fact that he gave the cow to claimant.

Thomas Bineham, the defendant in the original complaint, said he had no claim on the property in dispute. At the time the sulky was bought by him for his wife, witness was an uncertificated insolvent.

The Bench said that on the evidence the claim must be allowed.

Mr Utber’s application for costs was refused. *** Heard in the Train THAT Seaford is crying out for “more light.”

After siren goal tops off thriller DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn MPNFL football is underway for 2019 after Rye and Pearcedale kicked off the season with a thriller.

The division two season opener saw Rye face off against Pearcedale in difficult conditions at RJ Rowley Reserve on Saturday.

Rye got off to a brilliant start in front of their home crowd, skipping away to a two goal lead going into quarter time.

The second quarter saw momentum swing Pearcedale’s way, but they could not capitalise. In the windy con-

ditions they kicked 0.5 for the quarter.

The Demons put just one behind on the scoreboard in the second quarter, which had Rye 10 points up at half time.

As the second half got underway the Demons got back on top. Going into the final quarter, having led all day, they looked comfortable 24 points ahead.

The final term saw Pearcedale come alive, running rampant and closing the gap to get within a kick with 90 second to play. With a little over a minute left on the clock, Pearcedale hit the front. They kicked another goal after the siren to add an exclamation point

to a brilliant comeback win. The final score read 7.9 (51) to 8.13 (61).

Max Gearon was Pearcedale’s best.

The opening weekend of the MPNFL season had two matches scheduled across both senior divisions. The second clash took place on Sunday, with Devon Meadows taking on Karingal.

The match would be the debut of superstar Bulls signing Marc Holt, who lined up at full forward. The former Cranbourne superstar was expected to do big things, and he delivered in his debut.

Despite more difficult conditions, the match was expected to be high scoring. In order to battle Holt in front

of goal, Devon Meadows superstar Michael Theodoridis would have to kick a bag as well.

Things started well for Devon Meadows, who took a 21 point lead into half time. A five goals to none third term proved the difference though, as Karingal ran over the top of their opponents and claimed the victory 10.12 (72) to 12.14 (86).

Holt kicked four majors in a successful debut for his new side.

Next Saturday Karingal will take on Red Hill in match between two sides expected to contend for the premiership in 2019. Expectations are also high for Langwarrin and Chelsea

who will do battle at Lloyd Park. Crib Point host Rye on Saturday, while Pearcedale hosts Devon Meadows and Somerville hosts Seaford. On Sunday Hastings will kick off their season at home against Tyabb.

Off the field Pearcedale were the big winners of the week, securing the signature of former Essendon and St Kilda star Brendon Goddard. He will play for the club in a one off match against Chelsea on 18 May. Pearcedale continue their tend of bringing in big names, last year bringing in Drew Petrie for a one off appearance, and the year before signing Barry Hall.

Titans to thrash it out in opener DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn DIVISION One football will kick off on Saturday in the MPNFL, with a clash of the titans between Frankston YCW and Sorrento the headline act.

The two powerhouses will do battle at John Coburn Oval, with the Stonecats looking to make amends for a 2018 season that ended in unexpected disappointment. YCW were ravaged by injuries last season, and will welcome the chance to start afresh.

For Sorrento, they will be looking to bounce back after suffering the most devastating of losses against Pines in last year’s grand final. When the final sinal blew in the final game of the 2018 season, Sorrento were level with Pines. A point after the siren saw the Sharks lose the premiership.

Rarely lacking star power, Sorrento have brought in Sam Gibson for season 2019 after he racked up over 100 games for North Melbourne.

At Emil Madsen Reserve, Pines will

kick off their premiership defence away from home in a tough clash against Mt Eliza. The Redlegs were impressive last season and fell to Sorrento in the preliminary final. They knocked Frankston YCW out of the finals after a big performance from full forward Jordan Moncrieff. Coach troy Shannon departed in the offseason, but they will still be looking to go one better and make the big dance.

Pines have signed Robin Nahas up for the 2019 season to help them in

their quest to go back to back. The small forward plied his trade with Richmond and North Melbourne at AFL level.

Dromana will be making their division one debut after a big grand final win last season in the second division. The Tigers will take on Rosebud at Olympic Park, a big road trip for their first battle. Rosebud were poor in 2018, but have a big chance to start anew under the watchful eye of new coach Nick Jewell.

Edithvale-Aspendale kick off their 2019 campaign with a tough task against Mornington, who showed plenty of promise last season and will be looking to make finals this time around. Edi-Asp struggle badly in front of goal last season, which eventually cost them despite performing well in other parts of the ground.

At Greg Beck Oval Frankston Bombers will take on Bonbeach, who will be looking to improve on a disappointing 2018.

Late, late show for Langy, Pines SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LATE goals and a Mark Pagliarulo master class highlighted last weekend’s round of league games.

Langwarrin had to wait until the 88th minute to break through against Box Hill United, goals in the 88th and 90th minutes salvaged a point for Frankston Pines while “Pags” scored four goals and set up one in an impressive Somerville romp.

Both Langy and Box Hill had chances to break the deadlock at Lawton Park on Saturday but the decisive moment was engineered by a Damir Stoilovic corner to the near post and a Luke Burgess header.

That was Langy’s fourth win of the season and cemented its hold on second spot in NPL2 East as it chases ladder leader Eastern Lions.

Langy has been linked with Kingston City’s 20-year-old Mauritian international midfielder Cooper Legrand but it can’t move for the talented youngster until the transfer window opens on Tuesday 14 May. In State 3 Frankston Pines staged a remarkable last-gasp comeback to snatch a point in a nailbiting 2-2 draw with Bayside Argonauts at Monterey Reserve on Saturday.

Injury, suspension, illness and a wedding hit Pines’ first team squad hard with Lewis Potter, CJ Hodgson, Cedric Benza, Connor McAndrew, Christian Malgioglio, Josh Maclaren, Voldy Bukishie and David Ofuho all unavailable.

There were 10 players in Pines starting line-up making their debuts for the club but six minutes in Bayside’s Sam Langford got clear on the right of the area only to shoot wide.

In the 24th minute big David Dainty was given too much time to bring the ball down and on the bounce he volleyed it into the top far corner to open the scoring.

A few minutes later Pines keeper Alfonso Cardinale looked slow to react to a long-range shot eventually getting down and parrying but he set up incoming Aidan Taylor who shot low across Cardinale and into the far corner to make it 2-0.

In the 38th minute Beaumaris midfielder Lewis Broderick volleyed wide when well placed and Bayside took a well deserved lead into the half-time break.

Seven minutes into the second half a Meron Negassi strike was deflected onto the bar then over and four minutes later the contest should have been done and dusted.

Pines defender Callum Khiath gifted possession to Danny Dicken who

Picture: John Punshon

quickly set up teammate James Hammond on the left of the Pines area only to watch in dismay as Hammond blasted his shot well over.

Former Dandenong Thunder, Berwick City and Langwarrin midfielder Sergio Yanez had come on at half-time and was to have a major influence on this contest.

As a 19-year-old Yanez spent a year playing in Chile but partway through last season job commitments forced him to stop playing when at Langy.

His close control is excellent as is his ability to quickly change direction but it was his ball striking ability from set pieces that brought Pines back into this contest.

In the 64th minute Yanez took a freekick 35 metres from goal and Bayside custodian Lewis Cotsopoulos was at full stretch as he tipped the ball wide.

Cotsopoulos was in the thick of the action again in the 72nd minute after Negassi sent Joe O’Connor clear on the left of the area and his firm drive was parried wide by the Argonauts shotstopper.

A minute later Bailey Atkinson gave the ball away but Dainty failed to punish the Pines right back.

Beaumaris midfielder Dicken had been involved in some verbal stoushes prior to being booked for dissent and a few minutes later he booted the ball away after a decision had gone against Bayside leaving referee Tim Dimitriu with little option but to give Dicken a second yellow card then the mandatory red.

Pines didn’t need an invitation to surge forward and wave after wave of attacks were repelled by the Bayside defence.

But with just two minutes left of normal time Pines won a free kick about 25 metres from goal.

Yanez stepped up and his bludgeoning strike skimmed off a defender and went in off the inside of the far post to give Pines a lifeline.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

In the 90th minute it was the turn of two other Pines substitutes to steal the show.

Stefan Soler got the ball wide on the right and his precise low cross in behind the Bayside defence was met by a sliding Cam Bryden whose only touch of the match broke Bayside’s hearts.

Earlier on Saturday another State 3 side was in action with Skye United defeating Sandringham 3-1 in a friendly at John Paul College.

Former Kingston City and Bayside Argonauts striker Nicholas Miliaresis opened the scoring for Skye and Scottish import Mikey Turner came off the bench to score twice.

Wee Turner should have a had a hattrick in the second half but he lost his footing when trying to turn with only the Sandy keeper to beat and he skied a shot shortly after when well placed to score.

Skye trio Mark O’Connor, Mo Elhassan and Billy Painting all returned from injury and are available for Saturday’s season opener against Ashburton United.

In State 1 South-East news Mornington slumped to consecutive defeats going down 3-0 away to Doveton last weekend.

Former Mornington striker Wayne Gordon opened the scoring and secondhalf strikes from Josh Frame and Damien Miskulin sealed Mornington’s fate.

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers went down 2-0 at home to Berwick City last weekend.

The opening goal came four minutes from the interval following a corner which Strikers keeper Colin McCormack deflected into his net.

The second goal came in the 82nd minute when Berwick substitute Sayed Fatemi was given too much room and he raced clear before finishing well to settle the issue.

Berwick keeper Kris McEvoy had a trouble-free afternoon and the winning margin could have been greater for the

visitors who are the only side in the league to win both opening matches.

In State 4 South news Seaford United lost 2-1 at home to Rowville Eagles last weekend.

Harry McCartney reports that the visitors had sacked their coach the previous week and it was Seaford that went closest early when a first-time volley from Jeremy Schwellinger was only denied by the woodwork.

In the 30th minute Rowville’s Denny Bejan broke free into a one-on-one only to be denied by Seaford keeper Anthony Madafferi.

One minute later a sliding tackle with studs showing had Luke Murray seeing yellow for the second time in the contest leaving the home side with 10 men for the next hour.

In the 41st minute Bejan looked suspiciously offside but was allowed to run onto a through ball and round Madafferi to give Rowville a 1-0 lead.

The game opened up in the second half with Rowville’s Daniel Griguruta and Ruben Ichim and Seaford’s Dylan Waugh and Mitch Lander all being denied by the respective goalkeepers.

Something had to give and it was Waugh who levelled in the 60th minute with a well-placed sidefoot into the bottom corner to make it 1-1.

But a superb free-kick by Michael Gross put the visitors back in front in the 70th minute when he bent the ball around the defensive wall from just outside the area.

In the 80th minute Jeremy Schwellinger was forced off with a head injury and having used up its substitutions Seaford was forced to fight out the remainder of the contest with nine men.

Madafferi was in superb touch in a best-on-ground display that stopped Rowville from recording a more comfortable victory.

Fellow State 4 outfit Baxter went down 7-1 at home to Dandenong South last weekend with Bryce Ingram scoring for Baxter.

The local side has now leaked 12 goals in its opening two league matches and is desperate to recapture the fighting spirit that was the hallmark of its FFA Cup performances.

The headline news in State 5 South last weekend was a stunning display

by Pagliarulo as Somerville Eagles thumped visitor Knox United 7-1.

The result catapulted Somerville to the top of the league ladder and despite player-coach Dave Greening still battling injury the local club’s promotion push has gained early momentum.

Three goals in the first 15 minutes had Knox United on the ropes.

The first came in the 3rd minute

with a bullet-like header from Callum Richardson following a Damian Garcia corner.

Great set-up play by Richardson in the 11th minute was rewarded with a classy finish by Pagliarulo and four minutes later a Charlie Conrath cross allowed Bjorn Kutschera to round Knox keeper Siamak Bayatt-Torr to make it 3-0.

Knox came back into the contest but two excellent saves by Somerville keeper Francis Beck maintained the margin.

However Beck was helpless to stop a firm header from Nic Haddad following an excellent Robert Taylor cross and it was 3-1 at the interval.

The second half was all about “Pags” as the big Scot added another three goals to his tally, the first from the penalty spot after Richardson was fouled in the 47th minute.

In the 57th minute Pagliarulo’s cross was hammered home by Richardson and “Pags” nailed his hat-trick in the 70th minute when he got onto the end of a Carlo Cardoso cross.

“Pags” rounded off the scoreline and finished off Daniel Hodge’s good work in the 81st minute with a left-foot strike into the far corner to complete his haul.

In other State 5 matches Rosebud and Tullamarine settled for a 2-2 draw at Olympic Park on Saturday while Aspendale Stingrays lost 2-0 away to Pakenham United.

Chris Parry and Beau Sharpe scored for Rosebud while the Stingrays’ best were Pat Diakgeorgiou, Jack Lindsay, Kieran Hughes and Sam Timuska Carr.

Freedman unveils talented two-year-olds

By Ben Triandafillou JUST one month after claiming the $1.5 million Group One Blue Diamond Stakes with Lyre, Pinecliffbased trainer Anthony Freedman has unveiled yet another two talented two-year-old’s.

Coming off a Mornington jump out on Wednesday 13 March, the Freedman-trained youngsters Chenier and Super Seth, who respectively finished first and second in their heat, have come out and scorched the track at their debuts.

Chenier, one of five Godolphin owned two-year-old’s that Freedman trains, was heavily supported on debut at Sandown the following Wednesday 20 March and duly saluted with a dominant five-and-half length win.

Super Seth then reinforced their potential with a bullish six length victory at Ballarat on Sunday 24 March.

Trainer Anthony Freedman was on hand at Chenier’s debut victory at Sandown and said his colt looks to have very good potential.

“He’s come very quickly to hand, he’s only had seven weeks’ work, normally you’d give them another trial (before racing) but he seems to have very good ability and great natural fitness,” Freedman said.

“This race came up a bit quick, but it fitted in well with what we’ve got in mind.”

Freedman said Chenier will run at Sandown Hillside on Wednesday 10 April in a $50,000 two-year-old race over 1400 metres before travelling to Sydney for the $500,000 Group 1

Champagne Stakes (1600m) at Randwick, 10 days later.

Freedman was also suggesting that the colt could potentially be a Derby candidate in the Spring.

“It’s not unrealistic to think that,” he said.

“He’s a very, very promising horse so if he keeps going the right way, and his temperament suggests he will, then he could get to a good level.”

Chenier is bred to get over ground,

by Medaglia d’Oro, out of Zabeel mare Zydeco, which Freedman also trained.

While racing under Sheikh Mohammed’s ‘Darley’ banner, Zydeco won the 2012 Group 2 Wakeful Stakes.

She also achieved minor placings in the Thousand Guineas (1600m) and VRC Oaks (2500m) at Group 1 level that spring.

Super Seth’s victory at Ballarat was just as dominant and left Freedman’s racing manager, Brad Taylor, just as excited for the future.

“Chenier franked the form on Wednesday pretty impressively, and it’s good to see this guy do it as well,” he said.

“He’s still pretty green but it was nice to see him really flatten out and put them away nicely.”

The win provided Freedman with his seventh two-year-old winner from his 14 starters this season. It also continued the stables successful run for racehorse owner and breeder, Jonathan Munz.

“We’re thankful for Jonathon for providing us with these lovely horses,” Taylor said. “We’ve got a number of nice horses for him and it’s good to get this result for him.”
