Squashing all stations Chelsea Station lies in ruins after demolition crews knocked it down. Edithvale and Bonbeach stations were also demolished last week. Picture: Supplied
More level crossings on the chopping block Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au TWO more level crossings are set to be removed along the Frankston train line, in addition to the 18 already announced. The state government has named 10 more level crossings which it will remove statewide by 2025. They
include Parkers Road in Parkdale and Warrigal Road in Mentone. The preferred solution for the project is to build rail bridges between Mentone and Parkdale. The plans would also see a new station built at Parkdale. Taxpayers will end up paying around $3 billion on all of the works taking place on the Frankston line. Eight stations have been built and 13
level crossings have been removed so far. Five more new stations and seven more level crossing removals are still to come. Premier Daniel Andrews said “we promised to remove 50 level crossings by 2022 and we’re more than a year ahead of schedule. It’s an incredible achievement that has created jobs, reduced congestion on our roads and opened up space for
more trains, more often. Instead of just finishing early, we’re going to do more – getting rid of more crossings, creating more jobs and making more communities safer.” Transport minister Jacinta Allan said “every Victorian knows the dinging sound of boom gates coming down and the frustration that comes with it, that’s why we’re getting rid of them – saving lives, easing con-
gestion and getting you home sooner. We’ve already removed 46 level crossing well ahead of schedule and these extra sites will give a boost to our economy after the pandemic and support small business and hundreds of jobs.” The state government announced its new plans at Edithvale, where a station was being demolished as part of the latest batch of works.

HAWTHORN Football Club and Kingston Council have come to terms on a memorandum of understanding, with ratepayers expected to pay $5 million to the club in exchange for use of an oval and pavilion at its future Dingley training base. Kingston councillors endorsed the MOU at a meeting last week. Council agreed to contribute $5 million to the AFL club’s project subject to two conditions: “a legally binding agreement to confirm funding and community access and use of the community oval and pavilion at the Kennedy Community Centre” and “state government funding being received by Hawthorn Football Club for the project”. The report on the funding prepared by Kingston Council officers read “Hawthorn Football Club is seeking for council to partner in the planned Kennedy Community Centre, located in Dingley. Specifically, the Hawthorn Football Club has identified opportunities for council and the Kingston community to benefit through community access to a new community oval and pavilion facility.” “Hawthorn Football Club has secured a funding commitment of $15 million from the federal government and is expected to provide in excess of
$30 million of its own funding towards the Kennedy Community Centre proposal. In the state budget delivered on 20 May 2021, funding from the Victorian Government was committed to the Kennedy Community Centre, subject to AFLW expansion plans,” the report read. “Hawthorn Football Club has been granted a permit to develop the site and the planning scheme amendment has been approved by the minister with minor variations which are administrative in nature.” Cr Georgina Oxley moved an alternate motion at the meeting to defer a decision until a cost-benefit analysis comparing “the community benefits from direct investment by council into council owned facilities compared to a private facility owned and managed by Hawthorn Football Club” was completed and a formal binding agreement had been reached on the minimum number of hours the community could access the facility. A majority of councillors rejected that idea. The Hawks purchased the 28 hectare site at 370440 Old Dandenong Rd and Lot 1 Grange Rd in 2016. Brodie Cowburn

Mentone students among the best TWO Mentone Girls’ Grammar graduates have received a Premier’s VCE Award for their achievements in school last year. Ella Phillips and Emily Dunne received awards for their results in French and Creative Digital Media respectively. Principal of Mentone Girls’ Grammar Natalie Charles said “these results are a testament to fortitude, grace and mastery in a year that was otherwise filled with disruptions and change.” Ms Phillips, who now studies medicine at Monash University while volunteering with the Regional Education Support Network, paid tribute to her peers after receiving the award. “At Mentone Girls’ Grammar, I was surrounded by motivated peers and exceptional teachers who cared not only about my education but also my future. The girls were more than happy to help each other achieve their goals [and] my teachers would sacrifice their own time to go over essays and further explain concepts, which definitely increased my confidence and contributed enormously to my academic success,” she said. Ms Dunne is now studying engineering and science at Monash University. She said she was “very surprised and grateful” to win. “There were group study sessions online, initiated by Year 12 girls, to keep each other motivated, as well as dedicated teachers helping with work outside of class, highlighting the community’s focus on working to lift each other up,” she said. Ms Dunne’s work in 2020 ended up on display at Melbourne Museum.

Cyclist struck A MAN was injured after he was hit while riding his bike in Carrum Downs last week. At around 5.30am on 30 July, the 50-year-old cyclist collided with a car at the intersection of Thompsons Road and Frankston-Dandenong Road. The Sandhurst resident was injured in the collision. The driver stopped to speak to the cyclist, but police say no details were exchanged.
Investigators are seeking witnesses to help them work out the circumstances of the incident. Anyone with information or dash cam footage can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report via www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
Cocaine, cash seized TWO men have been charged after police seized cocaine and cash in three property raids last week. Police officers on Railway Grove and Ross Street in Mornington searched a
car at around 11.40am on 27 July. They allege that they found “a large amount of cocaine and cash” inside the vehicle. Search warrants were later executed at properties in Mornington, Seaford, and Langwarrin. Police allegedly seized cash, cocaine, cannabis, magic mushrooms, and a homemade drug press during the searches. A 23-year-old Seaford man and a 23-year-old Langwarrin man were charged with traffick cocaine, possess proceeds of crime, and other offences. They were both bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 8 February 2022.

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-theline 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 the-line 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.
Do you have rules that you live by when treating patients? My number one rule is to take things at 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 into 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.
Your audiologist, Cathryn Williams

Memorial missing A BANNER commemorating a man killed in Seaford last year has gone missing. Cameron Smith died aged 26 in November last year. He was stabbed to death. After his tragic death, a memorial banner was installed on Station Street. It went missing between Friday 23 July and 24 July. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny issued a plea for information on Facebook last week. “I am so saddened to report that the temporary memorial banner for Cameron Smith was removed from its site in Station Street Seaford with-

out the family’s permission,” she said. “Cam’s family is heartbroken. They just want it back. “If you know anything, or saw anything at all, please contact me or Frankston Police. Or just return the banner. As you can imagine it holds significant sentimental value for Cam’s family. Work will soon take place on a permanent memorial for Cam - a place to sit and to reflect on a young life cut short and the preciousness of life.” A TRIBUTE to Cameron Smith.

KINGSTON Council is weighing up how it will advocate in regards to Suburban Rail Loop projects in the municipality. The proposed multi-billion dollar rail loop project starts from Cheltenham. The former Delta landfill site in Heatherton has been identified by the state government as its preferred location for stabling, angering some residents (“Stabling plans spark protest”, The News, 17/3/21). The stabling site at Heatherton will be assessed as part of the Environment Effects Statement hearings. Kingston Council will make a submission during this process, and is currently considering the way forward. At their most recent meeting, Kingston councillors opted to defer community consultation on the proposed stabling facility “pending further discussions with key local groups including Move the Train Yard Group, Heatherton Residents Against Inappropriate Development, Defenders of the South East Green Wedge and other interested community members”. A further report and detailed advocacy documents are expected to be presented to councillors for consideration later this year. Council has agreed to start community consultation on initial design principles and opportunities for the Cheltenham Suburban Rail Loop Station. A late change to the motion councillors approved read that “council [will] reiterate its previous position of strongly opposing the Delta site for use as a stabling yard and continue its advocacy to the state government to find a more suitable site that does not have such negative amenity impacts for local residents.” A report prepared by Kingston Council officers read “on 9 June 2021 council received a letter from the Minister for Transport Infrastructure and Suburban Rail Loop Authority confirming that the Kingston Road site is the selected site for consideration through the Environment Effects statement (EES) and the reasons for this decision. Having now received this confirmation from the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, it is proposed that council advocate on behalf of the community to optimise the design of the proposed stabling yards and seek to mitigate its impact on surrounding residents and the Green Wedge landscape.” “Council has now assembled a team of consultants to assist in its response to the EES, through the technical reference group and recent advocacy work. The advocacy work will comprise the development of two precinctbased documents that will be developed for adoption in late 2021. The documents will speak to council’s expectation for design outcomes at the station precinct and stabling facility building upon previous advocacy work and feedback to the SRL,” the report read.

THE new vaccination hub at Bayside Shopping Centre is delivering up to 1200 COVID-19 vaccinations a day. The Frankston hub, operated by Peninsula Health, opened last month at the old Toys’R’Us location near Rebel Sport. The clinic is manned by a team of more than 100 immunisers, administration staff, pharmacists, doctors, security, cleaners, and concierge. Both Pfizer and AstraZeneca jabs are available at the hub. There are a small number of walk-in appointments on offer for people over age 60 to receive the AstraZeneca jab. Mornington resident Di Amiet was recently vaccinated at the hub. “It was really easy for me to come up to Bayside and find a car park, receive my second jab and get that protection,” she said. “You can see the staff are doing a really good job at making it as pleasant and efficient an experience it can be – it’s just brilliant to know people can get the vaccine locally. I’m so happy to feel safe from COVID and go about life knowing I am not only keeping myself but my family and friends safe.” Parking at Bayside Shopping Centre is free for people receiving vaccines. Bookings for the vaccine clinic can be made by calling 1800 675 398 or visiting coronavirus. vic.gov.au
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Twins terrible ordeal - Lost in fierce storms Compiled by Cameron McCullough TRAGIC results followed the wandering of two little twin boys, Bertie and Jackie Guy, aged 4½ years, from Frankston on Wednesday. The sons of Mr and Mrs A. Guy, of Berry Street, Richmond, they had been on a visit to their uncle, Mr Ahrens and his wife at Frankston. The children had recently been patients at the Infectious Disease Hospital at Fairfield. During Wednesday afternoon they were missed from their uncle’s house. A search in the neighborhood proved unsuccessful, and at 5.30pm police aid was sought. The fire bell was rung, and the greater part of the male population of Frankston formed into search parties, which, led by Senr. Constable Bray and Constable Dyball, set out in all directions. All through the night which was bitterly cold and wet, the search continued, men going for miles out into the country, but without success. At day-break fresh parties took up the work, and the search continued until at 2pm Mr J. Bradbury, with a party of volunteers on a motor lorry, found one of the children lying prostrate on the side of a roadway 2½ miles out of the town. The child was in a very low state from exposure of the cold, driving winds and sleety showers of the previous night, which was said to have been the worst of the season. The second little child was found lying dead near some bushes a short distance away. No time was lost in taking the surviving child to St Pancras Hospital,
where, under the treatment of Dr. Maxwell and Nurse Campbell, he is recovering from the effects of the terrible night’s exposure. Good work was done by members of the Fire Brigade, in common with many others. Captain Petrie desires all who were supplied with torches to return same to him. A gallant band of ladies supplied refreshments to the searchers at the Fire Station during the night. The funeral will take place tomorrow (Saturday), leaving Mr Ahrens’ residence, Frankston, at 3 o’clock for Frankston cemetery. *** LETTER to the editor Sir, Arising out of the distressing tragedy which occurred in our midst this week, I have been approached by numerous citizens who are desirous of showing practical sympathy with the bereaved parents. Subscription lists are now open, and are lodged with Cr. Oates, and Cr. Wells, and will you, Sir, kindly open your columns for the receipt of amounts, which may be also left at my office. W. P. MASON, Shire President. (“The Standard” will gladly receive and acknowledge amounts. – Ed.) *** THE Shire Council take over the electric light concern from the Frankston Company next Monday. More concern than light, judging by recent experience. *** THE annual municipal elections will be held on Thursday, 25th August. Candidates must be nominated not
later than Thursday, August 11th. It is time some move was made by the ratepayers to see that the vacancies in this shire are satisfactorily provided for. It is understood that all retiring councillors, with the exception of Cr. Griffeth (Centre Riding), intend seeking reelection. Mr Joseph Unthank has been mentioned as his successor. Cr H. E. Unthank retires in the East Riding, while Cr. Howell announces his intention of again offering his services to Seaford ratepayers. If he is to have opposition the fact has not been definitely announced, but it is known that Mr H. J. McCulloch’s friends are urging him to come forward. The creation of the new Mount Eliza riding necessitates all three sitting councillors in the Frankston Riding going to the poll. For the three vacancies in the Mount Eliza Riding only two candidates can at present be definitely named, viz.. Mr George May, the well known orchardist, and Mr Chas Gray, J.P., late Commissioner for Fair Prices, of William Street, Frankston. *** THE concert and dance held at the Mt. Eliza Post Office Tea Rooms last Friday night was a great success. Captain Davies generously placed his spacious apartments at the disposal of the numerous guests, and, with Mrs Davies, entertained over 100 visitors in right royal fashion. The genial host presented the gross proceeds to the committee of the hall building fund. A bright and varied programme interspersed the dancing, which was directed by Mr C. Wood to music
supplied by the Frankston orchestra. Songs were rendered by Misses Stephens, Mitchell, Lila Baldrin, and Messrs Thomas, Barney Bradford, D. Dodd, Kennedy (Melbourne) and Brean; recitation, Miss Bell. A ‘cello solo by Mr Goodman was encored. Cr Stephens thanked Captain and Mrs Davies for providing such a splendid entertainment at their own cost for the benefit of the new hall, and his remarks were endorsed by the hall secretary, Mr Alf Davey. *** AS the outcome of the combined deputation from the Frankston Shire Council and the Seaford Progress Association, which waited on the Minister for Forests on the 18th ult., representatives of the Forests Commission, the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission and the Public Works Department visited the Seaford Pine Plantation on Thursday, July 21st, to investigate the complaint made by the deputation that considerable damage was done to farms on the low lying country, upon which the plantation drainage had been concentrated. The party was joined by Mr Sambell, the shire engineer, and was met at the plantation by Crs Latham, Howell and Armstrong, and Messrs Martin, Stewart, Macnamara and Klauer. After inspecting the country, Mr Horsfield, one of the visiting officers, said no doubt the considerable volume of drainage which came from the plantation would do considerable damage when simply allowed to find its own course, and the Government would doubtless assist in alleviating the trouble.
He said the Narre Warren Progress Association had been agitating to have a drainage system carried out in their district, and upon an investigation of the levels, it seemed quite possible that a combined drainage scheme could be carried out which would trap water from reaching the Carrum and Seaford lowlands. He also said it would be quite practicable to combine this scheme with the Kananook Creek improvement scheme, because water could be dropped into the creek from perhaps, 6ft. above tides, thus ensuring a thorough scour. The further improvement of creek would consist of dredge grading from the inflow of this water, somewhere near present pipe culvert at Martin’s to Carrum and Frankston outlets. A new outlet would be made at Carrum and Mr Horsfield explained that the flow would be under a proper system of control, and the Government would contribute liberally to the scheme. The whole of those deriving benefit would be loaded with the cost, including residents along the creek at Seaford and Frankston. Mr Horsfield was assured by those present that his scheme seemed to provide the solution of two very great difficulties and expressed the hope that the preliminary survey would be proceeded with immediately. Mr Horsfield said he would report to his Department, and more will be heard of the matter at an early date. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 29 July 1921
THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Auto-mattock for the People By Stuart McCullough I HAD my second shot of vaccine. As for side effects, I experienced some fatigue and can now read other people’s thoughts. Which is, if I’m being honest, both a blessing and a curse. If you’re inexplicably against getting vaccinated because you think that it’s part of a Government plot to steal your dreams, there’s no need to email me because I’ve already read your thoughts and mentally weeded out the unsavoury comments. And, frankly, having looked at your dreams, I’m not sure anyone would want to steal them, even if you accidentally left the window down and the engine running. Just saying. My father also had his second jab last week and can now rightly claim his place in the ‘fully vaccinated’ column. His side effects included fatigue and being a dreadful cook, although the latter may not be a side effect as such; more a lifestyle choice. Sometimes it occurs to me that we’re alike. After my first vaccination, I refused to accept the notion of side effects and tried to go for a ten-kilometre run and wondered why I was moving in slow motion. My father doesn’t run. He does chores. Side effects or not, the day after the jab he’d be doing work in the yard regardless. Throughout my childhood, my father occupied his time on the weekends doing chores. Mostly they involved chopping things up, burning them or placing them in piles. These were not activities that came naturally to him. Despite suffering a total absence of horticultural skills that earned him the
nickname ‘The Black Hand’, he even created a vegetable patch. Not that the results were edible. But no matter, you could always count on one thing: my father would be carrying his mattock. It is, without doubt, his favourite tool. Mattocks are the unsung heroes of work in the backyard. And yet, for
reasons I can’t quite put my gardengloved finger on, mattocks don’t have the kind of notoriety other tools enjoy. A spanner is both a tool and a term of address for someone you don’t like very much. A screwdriver is also a popular cocktail. The axe has megawatt stardom; although does suffer an
unwelcome association with a particular sub-genre of homicidal maniac. But no one ever really talks about a mattock. For my father, it’s the tool for every occasion. Got a stump that needs to be pulled out? Fetch the mattock. A trench that needs digging to ensure that house doesn’t flood? The mattock will sort things out quick smart. Having trouble cutting up that steak? The mattock’s the answer. Who’d have thought one simple garden tool could root out blackberry bushes, dig holes, make whites even whiter and turn a sandwich into a banquet? Other than vaccinate you against Covid, there’s not much it can’t do. The mattock is the Swiss-Army knife of tools. Which makes it all the more mysterious as to why my father never gifted me a mattock of my very own. It’s not as though he hasn’t had plenty of chances. Decades of birthdays and Christmases have passed without so much as a dusting bellow or scythe, much less a full-blown mattock. That said, he did once give me a raised garden bed which, although very thoughtful, required assembly and, to this time, remains in as many distinct pieces as the day I received it. Mattocks don’t need to be put together – they come fully assembled. It’s part of their charm. Lately, I’ve been looking at the garden. And not just because of the fox I spotted there last week. Parts are overgrown and are demanding attention or they just might threaten to overwhelm the house proper. And so it is that once full-lockdown was replaced by ‘lockdown light’ I headed to Bunnings.

supervised. I’ve never really shopped for garden tools. They’ve always just kind of been…there. Being generally unfamiliar with hardware stores and hardware stores being generally gigantic, I wandered aimlessly for some time before coming across a (pitch)fork in the road that told me I must be getting close. I appreciate that I could have asked someone for directions, but after a couple of weeks of not leaving the house, I really wasn’t really in a hurry. The first shock when it comes to mattocks is that there are options. The prices vary significantly, as do the colours. I wasn’t sure if it mattocks were like sneakers and whether I should buy a range of shades to ensure I had one for any occasion. I did, however, quickly eliminate the option of dropping one hundred bucks on a single tool. Presumably, if you’re spending a hundred bucks on a mattock, you’ll be using it to dig a hole to bury your money in. Ultimately, I chose a mid-priced blue mattock, because it matches my eyes. Already, I’ve put it to use. Just like my father did, I spent Saturday morning with mattock in hand, digging up a tree root and tearing up an overgrown garden bed. I felt strangely complete. Tomorrow, I may well take my mattock to work. I’m not sure what use it will have, but I feel reassured that it’s within reach at all times. I should have done it years ago, but now that I have my mattock I have finally, albeit belatedly, embraced adulthood. It was bound to happen eventually. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Rosebud stop Stonecats in season restart DIVISION ONE
Picture: Craig Barrett
By Brodie Cowburn FOOTBALL is back after another COVID-19 shutdown. The senior MPNFL season restarted without crowds on Saturday afternoon. Division One leaders Frankston YCW struggled in their return to the field, falling to defeat against Rosebud. Rosebud took the game to the Stonecats right from the first bounce at Olympic Oval. They led by five goals at half time. After an even third term, Rosebud sealed the win with an impressive final quarter. They ended up defeating the ladder leaders by 39 points 17.13 (115) to 11.10 (76). The loss saw Frankston YCW drop down to second. Keegan Downie had a day out. He kicked seven goals in a best on ground showing. It was a family affair for Dromana on Saturday, as they took on Mt Eliza. William, Daniel, Samuel, and Joshua Guerts all took to the field for the Tigers. William Guerts was the best on ground for Dromana, who claimed an impressive come from behind win. The Tigers trailed the Redlegs by 28 at half time. They kicked 1.6 in a dismal first half. Dromana looked a different side after the half time break. They held Mt Eliza goalless in the second half while scoring 10 of their own. Dromana ran out winners over the Redlegs 11.11 (77) to 6.11 (47). At Greg Beck Oval, Frankston Bombers notched up an impressive victory over Sorrento. The Sharks have had a difficult year, and Saturday was no exception. A seven goals to two final quarter doomed them to a 42 point loss. The Bombers won 13.8 (86) to 6.8 (44). Khan Haretuku kicked four goals. Harrison Prior and Sam Fox also played well. Edithvale-Aspendale worked their way off the bottom of the ladder by defeating Red Hill 11.13 (79) to 14.9 (93). Pines now sit last after losing to Bonbeach by 120 points. Bonbeach’s big win sees them move to the top of the ladder.

By Brodie Cowburn LANGWARRIN look unstoppable heading into the end of the 2021 season. The Kangaroos took on Mornington in a clash between first and second on Saturday. What could have been an even matchup between two premiership contenders turned into thrashing, as Langwarrin ran away with an 85 point win. Langwarrin led by four points at quarter time, but really put their foot down in the second quarter. A nine goals to one second term saw Langwarrin move out to an unassailable 54 point lead at the main break. Langwarrin continued to score freely in the second half. They ended up putting 24 goals on the board for the game. The final score read Mornington 11.9 (75) to Langwarrin 24.16 (160). Ruckman Matthew Naughton was named best on ground for Langwarrin for the second game running. Jesse Murphy also impressed with five majors. Jackson Calder scored seven of Mornington’s goals. There was also some action at the other end of the ladder, as 11th and 12th placed Crib Point and Tyabb faced off. The Magpies got the better of the Yabbies. They piled on 18 goals for the afternoon to get themselves a 47 point win. Seven goals from Sam Glenn couldn’t get Karingal the points against Hastings at Ballam Park Reserve. Both sides traded blows in an entertaining first half. The Bulls went into the main break with a three point lead.

Mid-season makeover for Pines SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines has been involved in a major squad overhaul as it zeroes in on its first championship success in seven years. Simon Webster and twin brother Scott are believed to have accepted offers from State 3 rival Rowville Eagles while first-choice keeper Aeseli Batikasa expects to be sidelined for the remainder of the season. The knee injury the big Fijian keeper suffered against Brighton has not responded to treatment and he will have an MRI this week. But the news is not all bad for the State 3 leader as head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor has brought in a number of new signings. His capture of Fijian international midfielder Nickel Chand and Marinos Panayi from Beaumaris was the start of a squad makeover that gathered momentum last week with the signings of Andy Skledar and UK duo Tom Hull and Lewis Coyle. Skledar is a former Pines, Langwarrin, Mornington and South Springvale player who will continue to coach Kingston City’s junior NPL under-17s while playing for Pines. Hull is a goalkeeper and during an 18-month stint with Brunos’s Magpies he was named Gibraltar national league young player of the year before arriving in Melbourne to play with Casey Comets in 2019. He has also played with South Springvale, Doncaster Rovers and Dandenong City. Coyle arrived here from the UK in 2018 to play with Goulburn Valley Suns in the NPL. He played for Welsh club Rhyl and can be used as a central defender or striker and at almost 196 centimetres is an imposing figure who should boost Pines’ set piece threat. Both Hull and Coyle live in Sandhurst so their proximity to Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve is ideal. Panayi, Hull and Coyle featured in the starting line-up on Saturday as Pines put a major dent in Hampton East Brighton’s promotion hopes with a comprehensive 4-0 win at Dendy Park. Fijian international Tito Vodawaqa’s hat-trick and a stunning Joe O’Connor goal took care of business. In NPL1 Langwarrin came away from Shepparton with a point last weekend after drawing 1-1 with Goulburn Valley Suns. A superb 30-metre Callum Goulding strike late in the first half gave
weekend. Substitute Charlie O’Connell and Lachie McMinimee scored for Baxter while Somerville player-coach Dave Greening had mixed fortunes putting the visitors ahead in the 39th minute but receiving a straight red in the 89th minute after a verbal exchange with an assistant referee. In State 5 Mount Martha’s 2-1 home win over Pakenham United gave Chris Sanderson’s side its first win of the season. Ethan Sanderson’s switch from midfield to central striker played a major part in the result. Mount Martha was 1-0 down at halftime but in the 66th minute Jeff Higgin’s header sent David Oswald clear on the right and his low ball across the area was finished well by Sanderson at the back post. In the 85th minute Sanderson’s run into the penalty area ended when he was brought down but the youngster converted the resultant penalty. Other State 5 locals didn’t fare so well with Aspendale Stingrays going down 3-2 away to Casey Panthers and Rosebud losing 2-0 at home to White Star Dandenong. Ben Garside Weinert and Justin Lampert scored for the Stingrays in the second half. Top trio out: Scott Webster (left) and Aeseli Batikasa. Webster and twin brother Simon have left Frankston Pines while Batikasa could miss the remainder of the season through injury. Pictures: Darryl Kennedy
Langy the lead at half-time but Suns substitute Fraser Gosstray snatched an equaliser in the 89th minute. In State 1 the top-of-the-table clash between Mornington and BoroondaraCarey Eagles ended up in a 0-0 stalemate at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday. Josh Heaton and Steve Elliott were excellent at the back for Mornington while in midfield Luke Goulding had his best game yet for the Seagulls. In State 2 both local sides grabbed a point, Peninsula Strikers drawing 2-2 with Collingwood City at Centenary Park on Saturday while Skye United drew 3-3 with Heatherton United at Bosnia and Herzegovina Centre on Friday night. Strikers were on the back foot early and Ollie Hazel’s cultured left foot did the damage in the 17th minute with a low strike from the edge of the area to put Collingwood ahead. But five minutes later Strikers hit back when good work by Riley Anderton on the right ended with a Jai Power close range shot after Collingwood failed to clear.

Harry McCartney reports that Blake Hicks opened the scoring for Seaford in the 14th minute and in the 28th minute an excellent lob from Almand Thomas over a square Chelsea defence was struck first time by Dylan Waugh to make it 2-0. Hicks grabbed a double in the 38th minute with a volley but Max Timuska-Carr brought Chelsea back into the contest two minutes later when he beat the advancing Seaford keeper Hayden Hicks and knocked the ball into the open goal. Chelsea’s second came in the 87th minute following Seaford’s inability to defend a corner allowing Piers Brelsford to finish in a crowded penalty area.

Anderton and Power were involved with another goal in the 32nd minute this time Anderton finishing from close range. The match finished the way it had started with Collingwood bossing the ball and appropriately it was Phil Ball who equalised from the penalty spot in the 78th minute after a handball decision that confused some Strikers players. On a positive note Ben Doree is back and came off the bench in the second half. Skye found itself 2-1 down at halftime against Heatherton with Jason Nowakowski scoring for the locals just before the interval. Skye came roaring back in the second period when Mikey Turner finished well following a square ball from Mark O’Connor in the 50th minute and a long-range strike from Caleb Nicholes in the 64th minute caught Heatherton keeper Senad Ahmetovic off his line to make it 3-2 to Skye. Heatherton’s Setmir Zijai levelled in the 91st minute and three minutes later Daniel Attard was brought down in-
