Opera stars trio THREE talented youngsters have been hitting the high notes on stage at an Opera Australia production of La Boheme at the Victorian Arts Centre in Melbourne this month.

Darcy Halliday, 11, a Derinya Primary School pupil and Remi Stock, 12, a pupil at The Peninsula School have been joined by Casey Grammar School pupil Jordyn Squire, 11, as part of a 12-child ensemble performance of the famous opera.

The trio has been learning to amplify their natural singing talents at the Voicebox Singing School in Frankston South.

Voicebox singing teacher Martine Halliday, who still treads the boards herself, said the three singing school students were chosen to perform in La Boheme from a potential cast of hundreds who had to learn to sing in in Italian and memorise choreography in just ten rehearsals.

“My husband Ron and I have both loved combining a performance career with teaching,” she said.

“There is such a wealth of talent on the Mornington Peninsula.”

Opera Australia’s lavish production of La Boheme will finish on Saturday 28 May and tickets can be bought at opera.org.au or by calling 9685 3777.

Council ‘on notice’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LACK of transparency at Frankston Council was on full view when council’s monthly public council meeting last Monday evening was suddenly cut short by the mayor Cr James Dooley.

The latest display of discord among councillors has prompted a warning that the state government may step in if it continues.

Three days after the council meeting was cut short, Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke and Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins

ayside BSOLICITORS

discussed “some very concerning issues” he has with the council.

“We’re trying to get along with them but they need to know there are boundaries that we can’t overlook,” Mr Edbooke said. “If they get to that stage the government has to step in.”

The state government will begin a $63 million redevelopment of Frankston train station and its surrounds this year and a $70.5 million expansion of Chisholm TAFE is underway so the government is keen for council to get its house in order.

Mr Edbrooke noted council has recently faced scrutiny from “local newspapers” and some of the coverage has been aired on statewide radio and TV

news. State governments have the power to suspend councils.

Council has faced questions about an external investigation into councillors’ behaviour (‘Silence surrounds conduct hearing’, The Times 25/4/16), payments to external consultants (‘Cash out as councils cash in’, The Times 26/4/16) and councillors’ expenses (‘Councillors expenses rules ‘out of time’’, The Times 2/5/16) in the past few weeks and the abrupt end to the latest council meeting is a public sign of ongoing tensions between councillors.

end amid threats to expel Cr Suzette Tayler from the council chamber after she mentioned a conversation she had with him a couple of weeks before the meeting.

The meeting was halted after descending into chaos when councillors started to argue about a proposal by Cr Darrel Taylor to ask auditors to investigate cost blow outs on a $4.239 million refurbishment of Wells St, originally budgeted at $3.58 million.

Minutes before Cr Dooley called time, he ordered the nine councillors out of the chamber to a back room to try to resolve bitter differences of opinion over the need for an audit of the Wells St works.

Councillors had been arguing about an amendment to Cr Taylor’s notice of motion by Cr Glenn Aitken for an audit of the Wells St revamp to also include construction of the new war memorial, Frankston Yacht Club and Frankston Park function centre “for comparison” purposes.

Cr Taylor and some fellow councillors were concerned a wider-ranging audit would not be completed before October’s council elections when all councillors face voters for re-election.

Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said he could not guarantee a delivery date before October for any wide-ranging internal audit that scrutinised several major projects.

Pokies unplugged at footy club Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au IT’S game over for pokies players at the Frankston Dolphins Football Club after the club decided to switch off the gaming machines at its Frankston Park function centre.

Dolphins general manager Brett Angwin confirmed board members at the VFL club agreed last week to immediately get rid of all 27 electronic gaming machines at the footy club’s Frankston base.

“It’s about healthy lifestyles and engaging families in a sporting environment and we didn’t think the pokies were conducive to that so that was the decision made unanimously by the board on Tuesday night.”

The machines at the function centre were switched off at midnight on Tuesday (17 May) and await pick up

by Tabcorp Gaming Solutions.

Mr Angwin said the Dolphins had consulted with Frankston Council and AFL Victoria over several months about getting out of the pokies business.

“The decision is financially based but it’s also based on the direction the football club wants to go. We want to focus on our key product and that key product is we’re a football club.

“Council, AFL Victoria and the AFL in general have been extremely supportive of our decision.”

He said the club had pokies for more than a decade.

bling and Liquor Regulation figures show punters lost $508,139 playing pokies at Frankston Football Club in the six months from July to December last year and $1,062,225 over 12 months in the previous 2014-15 financial year.

Mr Angwin said community feedback on pokies was taken into account when deciding to axe the pokies.

“Quite honestly, they’re just becoming the social pariah of the community,” he said.

Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley said the football club had been talking to council for about six months about removing pokies from the Frankston

The Dolphins’ move to pull the plug on its pokies comes as antipokies groups, led by the Alliance for Gambling Reform headed by Tim Costello, pressure AFL clubs to stop coining in pokies revenue at clubowned premises.

Alliance spokesman Rohan Wenn praised the Frankston club’s community-minded decision.

“The Dolphins are swimming in the right direction on this one,” he said.

“It’s quite clear clubs like the Dolphins can see the damage poker machines are doing to their own supporters.

Mr Wenn said pokies are a “misleading, deceptive and addictive product” costing communities millions of dollars each year.

“You can’t expect families to send their kids off to play for a club that is taking food off the tables of those families through secret and shameless manipulation.”

Pokies losses average $62 million in the Frankston area each year according to VCGLR figures.

“We will always assess any application for new gaming machines on its merits, as we are required by law, however electronic gaming machine losses can cause catastrophic consequences in the lives of vulnerable people; a view that is supported by research,” Cr Dooley said.

Frankston is subject to a municipal limit of 954 EGMs and there were 591 existing machines in the area before the Dolphins relinquished the club’s licence for 27 machines.

“We are very pleased the football club shares our view that gaming machines are harmful to the community,” the mayor said.

“They have chosen to relinquish their machines rather than trying to sell them to another venue, a decision which should be applauded.”

Accused’s ‘address’ on social media Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A HOME address in Frankston, alleged to be that of a teenager charged over the death of Andrea Lehane at Carrum Downs shopping centre after she was fatally struck in a monkeybike accident late last year, has been posted on Facebook.

Caleb Jakobsson, 19, was back in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court last Monday (16 May) to face accusations he had breached bail conditions eight times while he awaits trial over the death of the 34-year-old mother-oftwo.

Magistrate Charlie Rozencwajg decided not to revoke bail despite breaches including repeated failures to observe a 10pm to 9am curfew.

The teenager is living at a relative’s home in regional Victoria while on bail before his trial.

A Facebook user posted the accused teen’s alleged Frankston address the day after his latest court appearance.

Victoria Police media unit Leading Senior Constable Adam West warned “any online action may prejudice an accused’s right to a fair trial and may result in a dismissal of charges”.

“Those posting also open themselves up to the possibility of civil action and may also be breaching privacy laws.”

The Times called the telephone number listed for the Frankston address published on Facebook but it was disconnected.

Some Facebook users praised the person who posted the alleged address of the teen while others cautioned against “vigilante” action.

“Be careful posting this stuff,” a user wrote.

“He may not be the only person who lives in the home and this may

put other family members in danger.”

Mr West said anyone concerned about information published online should contact the website and ask for it to be removed.

“If they have further concerns they should contact their local police.”

The state government announced last week that “almost 200 miniature motorbikes” for sale have been seized over the past seven months.

“Monkey bikes can be extremely dangerous. We are making sure unsafe and dodgy bikes are crushed as part of our statewide blitz,” Consumer Affairs Minister Jane Garrett said in a statement.

“Traders need to make sure their products meet Australian safety

standards or they will face hefty fines.

“We’re also reminding Victorians that it’s against the law to ride these bikes in public areas, even if they comply with safety standards.”

Monash University research found there were 59 reported cases of injuries involving miniature motorbikes from July 2012 until June last year.

Consumer Affairs Victoria is investigating three Victorian companies for supplying miniature motorbikes with unsafe design features.

When asked whether he was surprised at the decision to allow Caleb Jakobsson to remain on bail with extra conditions in place, Premier Daniel Andrews told 3AW last Tuesday: “That would be a fair comment, yes.”

Safe end to balloon drama: A hot air balloon landed safely on a Mt Martha beach on Saturday (21 May) after jettisoning passengers into a boat over the water off Beaumaris. The drama began in Brighton when an attempt to land failed. The alarm was soon raised as the balloon blew across to the bayside suburb of Beaumaris and was then blown out to sea where passengers were offloaded. It then headed south, tailed by at least one helicopter, numerous vessels, and police and ambulance on land. The pilot of the balloon managed to land the balloon onto the beach in Mt Martha.

Shot fired at house A SHOT was fired into house in Langwarrin, 9.30pm, Wednesday 11 May. It is believed to have been fired from a car in the street.

Detective Sergeant Gary Richards, of Frankston CIU, said a .22 calibre bullet ricocheted off a verandah post and through the lounge room window of the house in North Gateway.

Neighbours thought they heard a shot at 9.30pm but the windy night made confirmation difficult.

The residents were home at the time but the damage was not discovered until the next morning when glass was

found on the floor.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or Frankston CIU, 9784 5555.

Court to hear 45 charges A DROMANA man has been remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, 10 June, on 45 charges. The 20-year-old was arrested at a house in Excelsior Rd, Frankston, Thursday 12 May. He faces two counts of aggravated burglary, 12 of theft from motor cars, four of theft of motor cars, 19 of obtaining property by deception, and other theft charges.

Roadworks link to Ingham’s growth Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au ROADWORKS are set to begin near the Ingham’s Enterprises factory, Somerville.

Treasurer Tim Pallas visited the large-scale chicken meat producer in Grants Rd this month to discuss the economic benefits of improving nearby Golf Links Rd. The works would better cater for heavy vehicles and clear the way for a major Ingham’s expansion, resulting in significant economic benefits for

the Frankston area and the Mornington Peninsula as a whole, the treasurer said.

He said this year’s budget included a $10 million package to develop business cases for upgrades to key outer suburban arterial roads around Melbourne, including Golf Links Rd. “This detailed assessment will begin this year and will look at construction estimates, preliminary designs, impact studies, geotechnical investigations, environmental and cultural heritage studies, and community consultation.”

Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley

said the roads funding was “exciting news as a step towards finalising the expansion of the Somerville factory”.

“We made a commitment to Ingham’s that we would advocate to the Victorian government, and this announcement has delivered both the Frankston community and Ingham’s a win,” he said.

Mr Pallas said the business case would look at a future upgrade of the Golf Links and Warrandyte roads intersection as well as the Baxter-Tooradin, Grant and Warrandyte roads roundabout, and how this could enable

it to cater for B-double trucks.

“Bigger trucks would allow Ingham’s to consider future expansion of their operations and create more jobs in Somerville,” Mr Pallas said.

The company is reportedly the largest employer on the peninsula – with about 600 staff – and contributes about $200 million to the local economy.

Cr Dooley said the announcement “was critical to not only retain these jobs, but also to increase employment opportunities within the region as a result of Ingham’s expanding their operations”.

“Ingham’s expansion depends on this vital project going ahead to allow large trucks direct access to Peninsula Link. We encourage any growth in the factory as it will provide economic growth and stable employment for the region,” the mayor said.

Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said: “Locals know that all levels of government need to support jobs, industry and manufacturing and that’s why I have advocated so strongly for this investment which will benefit Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.”

Sky high: How elevated rail could look at Mentone on the Frankston line. Picture source: noskyrail.com.au

‘Silence’ on sky rail slammed Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ANTI-SKY rail campaigners are continuing to build a groundswell of support against any plan for elevated rail along the Frankston line.

The protest group noskyrail.com.au hosted a community forum in Seaford on Sunday (15 May) attended by about 150 people to discuss with councillors and politicians options to remove Frankston line level crossings without the need to build rail over roads.

Group co-founder Simon Johnson said the forum was well attended but it was disappointing no Labor Party MPs could turn up to address community concerns.

State Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny and federal Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus were invited to the Seaford forum and Mr Johnson said they are both welcome to head along to another forum being held in Mentone later this month.

Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Richardson flagged his unavailability ahead of the forum.

“Tim Richardson and I had a brief conversation and he was flying out that morning and he was quite genuine and

wanted to know when we were having another forum,” Mr Johnson said.

Ms Kilkenny called off a few hours before the forum on the day according to Mr Johnson.

He noted Mr Dreyfus was speaking out publicly about redevelopment plans for the Mentone Hotel (‘Hotel plan ‘fails pub test’’, The News 11/5/16) when it is a state government matter yet seemed to be handballing concerns about elevated rail on the Frankston line to state MPs. Mr Johnson said Mr Dreyfus is “absolutely silent on sky rail – the biggest development to hit this community which is definitely out of character and will overshadow property.”

Frankston councillors Glenn Aitken, Rebekah Spelman, Darrel Taylor and mayor Cr James Dooley attended the noskyrail.com.au weekend forum in Seaford.

Mr Johnson said the three Frankston councillors opposed sky rail but described Cr Dooley as “non-committal” on his views about the possibility of elevated rail.

Liberal opposition spokesman for planning David Davis and federal Liberal candidate for Dunkley Chris Crewther were also there to voice the party’s op-

position to sky rail.

Mr Dreyfus said he “supports the removal of dangerous level crossings in our community”.

“I am now waiting for the recommendations of the Level Crossing Removal Authority about the best options for removal.

“I don’t propose to interfere with the community consultation by the Level Crossing Removal Authority, which is now underway.

“I have been assured by the state government that no decisions have been made about the best method of removal for these level crossings.

“I would encourage anyone interested in this issue to voice their concerns with the Level Crossing Removal Authority.”

The Level Crossing Removal Authority will next month announce options for level crossings removals along the Frankston line.

A final decision on how level crossings will be removed will be made at the end of this year. The noskyrail.com.au group will host a community forum at Mentone Bowls Club, 2 Swanston St, Mentone on Sunday 29 May, 2pm. See website for details.

Stadium cash criticism bounces back and forward Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au MONEY keeps pouring in for a redevelopment of the Frankston Basketball Stadium but the Labor and Liberal parties are still firing cheap shots at each other over its funding in the lead up to the 2 July federal election.

Labor candidate for Dunkley is the latest politician to criticise her opponents after announcing a Shorten government will contribute $2.55 million towards a much-needed revamp of the stadium in Seaford.

“Former Liberal MP for Dunkley Bruce Billson announced $4.95 million for the project last year, but that fell well short of the $7.5 million that the community had petitioned for,” Ms Murphy said in a statement last week.

“Labor’s additional $2.55 million investment means the $15 million Stage One project can be completed.”

Labor’s latest dig at the Liberal Party over funding at the stadium comes despite the Liberals previously pledging the majority of money towards the redevelopment.

Frankston Council previously called on state Labor Sports Minister John Eren to match the Coalition federal government’s $4.95 million contribution to the project (‘Basketball stadium funding stoush back on’, The Times 15/5/16).

State Labor MPs Sonya Kilkenny and Paul Edbrooke attended the federal Labor announcement of the $2.55 million funding pledge last Tuesday (17 May), alongside Ms Murphy and federal Labor Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus, despite council disquiet over the refusal of the Labor state government to pitch in any more than the $2.5 million

previously allocated by the former Coalition state government.

Council is contributing $4 million of ratepayer money to the project.

Frankston Basketball Association general manager Nathan Jolly welcomed the pledge by Ms Murphy last week.

“From the outset it was the hope of Frankston Basketball’s board of management to deliver an outcome which would see our facility become the model basketball facility for all participants,” he said.

“The addition of $2.55 million in funding makes this hope a reality. The wide spectrum of users who call Frankston Basketball Stadium home will all benefit from future funding increases.”

Stage one of a long-term redevelopment of the stadium is expected to be completed by mid-2018 and will include more basketball courts, extra seating and improved car parking facilities.

Controversy continues to surround funding for the project though with the Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club criticising federal Labor’s preference to put funding for the basketball stadium before a new athletics track in Mornington (See ‘‘Forgotten’ club losing track’, Page 10).

LETTERS Wild about smiles I cannot believe the article ‘Australia sets another world record in the wild’ (The Times 16/5/16) with a photo of a beaming [Flinders MP and Environment Minister] Greg Hunt and three others with even larger smiles, from the recent Western Port Biosphere’s second annual biodiversity forum. What are they smiling about? It appears they are smiling because, according to the keynote address, Australia has just set the world record for losing the greatest number of its mammals.

They should all, especially Mr Hunt, be hanging their heads in shame.

According to the article Professor John Wionarski, the keynote speaker, attributed this deplorable failure to losing our “ability to connect with the environment; with expanding development changing the landscape…” and an inability to understand “the relationship between the different native species and their habitat”. And what does Mr Hunt talk about at the forum? Feral cats and foxes.

Give us a break. Some people just don’t get it, do they? Let’s think, could destroying environments also have something to do with it?

How many times have we had to fight to save national parks such as Point Nepean, Wilson’s Promontory, Western Port and the Great Barrier Reef?

Esther Gleixner, Flinders Editor: Esther Gleixner is campaign manager for the Labor candidate for Flinders, Carolyn Gleixner.

Protection lacking It was devastating to learn last week that 49 species of flora and fauna had been added to the federal government’s threatened species list (‘Australia sets world record in the wild’, The Times 16/5/16). While numbers of these species will fall until extra protection is provided, this is an ever-growing list.

The addition represents a 20 per cent jump from this time last year. There was of course no word from our federal government, or

ing. The shameful support of our prime minister for his immigration minister just shows how morally corrupt they are.

On the other side, the Border Force has been so preoccupied with these “dangerous” refugees that, sadly, it’s not paying any attention to the rotten apples in its own ranks, who are in cahoots with underworld characters. When will the minister responsible, Peter Dutton, start addressing the serious issue of corruption in the Border Force?

I suppose as long as Malcolm Turnbull praises Dutton as an outstanding minister, nothing will happen to remedy this mess.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Union influence

No smiling matter: Grins criticised after it was revealed 49 species of flora and fauna have been added to the federal government’s threatened species list.

indeed Flinders MP and so-called Minister for Environment, Greg Hunt, as to exactly what the plan is to protect and recover these endangered species. Certainly there is no money in the budget.

On Friday 6 May 6 Mr Hunt told the Western Port Biosphere about government plans to protect threatened species, but made no mention of the additions to the list, nor the shocking increase in just 12 months. There has also been little mention of the massive cuts to Mr Hunt’s own flagship Green Army project in the 2015 budget, and then to Landcare in the 2016 budget.

This government has a poor record when it comes to flora and fauna protection. In the infamous 2014 budget, with Mr Hunt in cabinet, the Abbott government cut the formerly $1 billon Biodiversity fund, removing an important

program for protecting our irreplaceable plants and animals.

At this rate, the people of Flinders, who recently successful campaigned for the removal of dogs on the foreshore to protect the hooded plover, will have done much more for our local environment then the federal minister has.

Given the serious outcomes these things will all have on our environment, perhaps it is not a surprise that Mr Hunt is being tight lipped.

Willisa Hogarth, Greens candidate for Flinders

Border corruption It must be clear to all that [Immigration Minister] Peter Dutton’s latest outbursts about the threat of refugees taking our jobs away, if let into Australia, is a sure sign of the return of a Abbott style election campaign of fear monger-

A major issue voters need to be aware of in the coming federal election is the role the unions will have should Labor win government .

The Labor Party has been the puppet of the unions since they founded the party and will be contributing millions of dollars directly and indirectly to the Labor election campaign .

They expect, and will demand, a payback from a Labor government .

A recent example of such demands was legislation passed by the Gillard government which would have forced 35,000 self-employed truck drivers out of business. So much for Bill Shorten’s fairness mantra.

Fortunately, the Turnbull Liberal government was able to persuade the Senate at the last minute to cancel this legislation.

If Labor wins the election we can expect more of these cosy union-inspired deals to be demanded by the Labor’s union bosses.

Smokes ban: Mt Eliza junior footballers will benefit from strict no-smoking rules.

Butts out as club goes smoke free MT ELIZA Junior Football Club has developed a smoke-free policy and signed the Frankston-Mornington Peninsula Smoke Free Charter.

It is the first of 14 clubs in the Frankston and District Junior Football league to draw the line against smoking by signing up.

It follows the Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League, which signed up in February, and the Mt Martha Junior Football Club, which signed up last year.

Mt Eliza has 28 teams and is reportedly the largest junior sporting club across the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula.

Its decision to extend the policy past the 10-metre legislation demonstrates a strong message to its players, families,

volunteers and visitors, according to Peninsula Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health promotion practitioner Andie Murphy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prohibiting smoking around young people helps to discourage them from taking up smoking,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Secondhand smoke causes a number of diseases in children and adults who do not smoke. The more second-hand smoke you are exposed to, the higher your risk of disease.â&#x20AC;?

The charter is regarded as a statement of commitment to raise awareness of the harmful effects caused by tobacco smoke and to address the significantly higher smoking rates within the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catchment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Victorian rates of smoking are 13 per cent. Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region rates are between 21-

30 per cent,â&#x20AC;? Ms Murphy said.

Mt Eliza Junior Football Club president Fraser Bayne endorsed the decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As part of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing commitment to providing a healthy and fun environment for our kids to play footy, [we] are pleased to announce the implementation of the smoke free charter.â&#x20AC;?

Peninsula Health encourages sporting clubs, leagues and associations to become smoke free. Those interested in taking a stand should contact Ms Murphy at amurphy@phcn.vic.gov.au.

Peninsula Health has quit smoking support services at Frankston, Rosebud, Mornington and Hastings. For a face-to-face appointment call 1300 665 781, or call Quitline 13 78 48 or visit quitnow.gov.au

Meeting closed down, council on notice Continued from Page 1 Raised voices could be heard during a five-minute adjournment after Cr Rebekah Spelman accused Cr Aitken in the chamber of trying to increase the scope of the audit due to “over involvement” in the Wells St revamp to include new street furniture and lighting.

Cr Aitken threatened to sue Cr Spelman over the remark, subsequently withdrawn, before the bickering between councillors behind closed doors after the mayor ordered councillors to vacate the chamber.

Upon their return to the council chamber the mayor said he would adjourn the meeting if it became disorderly again.

Cr Suzette Tayler then said she had been called by Cr Dooley who expressed concerns about Wells St project cost blowouts.

“The mayor rang me on a Sunday night and said he was very concerned about East West Wells St and he was really concerned about a $300,000 blowout and he was really concerned about a councillor,” Cr Tayler said.

She accused the mayor of “gagging” her when Cr Dooley threatened to have her expelled from the chamber and suddenly ended the meeting.

“I’m being transparent. It’s about transparency. I’m being transparent to the residents of Frankston and I’m only repeating what you told me, Mr Mayor,” Cr Tayler said.

Cr Dooley declined to comment after the meeting last week. A statement from the mayor was issued by council on the day after the meeting (see above).

Statement from Frankston Mayor Cr James Dooley - 17 May Dear Residents, Like many in the community, I am disappointed at the behaviour demonstrated by councillors during the recent 16 May council meeting.

The behaviour was neither constructive nor of value to the Frankston City community.

I expect all councillors to work together respectfully and to act with the community’s best interests at the forefront of their minds.

Factory fitted: New chairs, above, and plant holders set to be installed in Wells St. Each item is rumoured to cost $14,000.

Picture source: Facebook

Kind regards, Frankston City Mayor, Cr James Dooley

Cr Aitken said he would “vigorously defend” any allegations of impropriety around his involvement in the Wells St revamp that will feature wider footpaths, improved street furniture, more outdoor dining areas, better street lighting and more trees.

When contacted by The Times Cr Aitken said he had visited a Seaford factory where street furniture and lighting designed by Darryl Cowie is being built before installation in Wells St on several occasions in the interests of “getting the best for Frankston”.

Casting of furniture is also being undertaken at a Campbellfield factory.

Cr Aitken, an architecture aficionado, said the Wells St refurbishment’s scope widened as the project progressed.

“We started off with standardised type poles, seats off the rack, ordinary paving, no planters … and bit by bit as the design evolved it went back to council 11 times over the period of a year … and council had described to them the changes taking place and council also had explained to them the budgetary implications and council voted unanimously on each occasion [to approve changes].”

Cr Aitken said he had nothing to fear from any investigation by council

watchdogs such as the Local Government Inspectorate if it eventuated.

“Bring it on. I would welcome a judge and a jury. I will stand before anyone and discuss the process and I will come out clean.

“I never handled the money, nor did I employ contractors, nor did I direct contractors. Nor did I monitor monetary flow as the project continued.

Council did as the scope widened.”

The Wells St project was originally budgeted at $3.58 million but costs have increased to $4.239 million.

The state government is contributing $1.79 million – half of the project’s originally anticipated $3.58 million cost - and Frankston ratepayers will now pick up the bill for the extra

$659,000 and counting cost increase.

The exit of councillors from the chamber during a meeting is the second time in this four-year council term the nine have publicly clashed to such an extent that a meeting was adjourned.

In January 2015 a public council meeting had to be stopped for about 10 minutes after councillors began shouting at each other across the council chambers amid “bullying” allegations (‘Councillors ‘feel bullied’’, The Times 26/1/15).

Council scheduled a special public meeting on Monday 23 May to finish the latest interrupted council meeting shut down by Cr Dooley.

‘Forgotten’ club losing track Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au MORNINGTON Little Athletics Centre is “potentially homeless” next season unless a new base can be found soon.

“We and the Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club are currently actively lobbying the Mornington Peninsula Shire for the athletics track they have been saying they will build since 1999,” little athletics secretary Lisa Henry said last week.

“It's now 16 years later, and the track has still not eventuated. They have earmarked $50,000 in the next budget for planning the track - possibly at the Civic Reserve, Dunns Rd - but given us no

time frame as to when this will occur.”

The 44-year-old club has never had a permanent home, and was nicknamed by a former president the “gypsies of the peninsula".

“We have been moved around from Dallas Brooks Park, Mornington Park, Osborne Primary School, Padua College, and our most recent home at Mace Oval,” Ms Henry said.

“We have been competing for the past 12 seasons at Mace Oval in Mt Martha.

It was a temporary move at the time apparently, and it seems we've been forgotten.

“We've completely outgrown Mace – it only allows for a 250 metre track into which we have to cram all the field events. It is an OH and S nightmare some

days. We have no club rooms – we never have – just three shipping containers and a council-built toilet block.”

In this Olympics year, the club is anticipating higher registration numbers than in previous years. “If we have to compete there again this coming season, we will be operating beyond capacity,” Ms Henry said. “Add in the damage the new Mt Martha Junior Soccer Club does to Mace over the winter, we are potentially homeless for the 2016/17 season.”

She said the club “had a few options on the table in terms of locations for next season” but nothing has been finalised. “The council have not come back to us with an answer,” she said. “It is essentially being left up to us to find a

new location.”

Mornington Little Athletics Centre members would be happy with a temporary home now as long as they know the shire is committed to building “the allweather track that has been promised for so long”.

“The Briars ward councillors are in our corner, it’s just a matter of getting all the other councillors on board,” Ms Henry said.

Parents at the club Sue Cook and Sharyn Welsh have started an action group called Where Is Our Track. They are on Facebook and have also started a change. org petition which has 687 signatures.

They are aiming for 10,000 signatures.

The club has also sought promisers from the Liberal and Labor candidates

for the seat of Dunkley, which includes Mornington and Frankston.

Ms Henry said it was disappointing that Labor candidate Peta Murphy supported a $2.55 million grant for Frankston basketball stadium “because if they [a Labor government] put money into that there will be less for other projects”.

Liberal candidate Chris Crewther “has hinted that the new track will be his priority in Mornington, but no official word has been released as yet”. Ms Henry said.

Mr Crewther told The Times the track was “one of the things I will fight for”.

“It’s an important project and I will advocate hard for a new track,” he said.

“It’s definitely a priority of mine, but one of many.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Tragic death at Epsom Steeplechase Compiled by Melissa Walsh ACCIDENT in Epsom Steeple. Death of J. P. Edwards. A regrettable accident which resulted in the death of the well known cross-country horseman James P. Edwards, occurred on Saturday in the Bush Steeplechase, run at. Epsom.

Edwards had the mount on the top weight, Mr. Justin Curr’s gelding Expeditioner, who started second favorite for the event, which attracted a field of sixteen runners. Passing the stand Expeditioner was going well in third position, a few lengths behind Londonderry and the favorite, Dominican, when at the last of the treble, almost opposite the judge’s box, he appeared to cannon with another competitor while in the act of landing, and swerving came to grief.

His rider moved slightly, as if in the act of getting out of the way of some of the other horses, when he was crashed into by Bute, who came down heavily over Expeditioner.

While P. Robertson, who rode Bute, limped away practically unhurt Edwards lay motionless beneath the struggling horses. The club’s surgeon Dr A. F. Joyce, who witnessed the accident, at once attended the prostrate jockey, who was placed in charge of a trained nurse in the casualty room close by.

It was soon recognised by the doctor that the chances of recovery were hopeless, as Edwards in addition to suffering from concussion, had several ribs broken. and internal hemor-

rhage had set in. He died in about an hour. Edwards’ wife was a witness of the accident, and remained with her husband to the last.

Edwards had been riding with varying success for close on twenty years, but it was only in the last six or seven years that he came into prominence on metropolitan racecourses. Utter fearlessness characterised his whole career, and though he had probably experienced more falls than any other rider, he had nearly always escaped unhurt.

An injured shoulder was his most serious complaint prior to Saturday, and it was a common remark among sporting patrons that -’Jimmy Edwards was too used to hard knocks to get hurt.” But the end came on Saturday. Edwards frequently gave dashing displays of horsemanship, and his V.R C. and National victory on Zephuron two years ago will long be remembered.

The deceased horseman was born in the Lancefield district where his father was a school teacher, was 38 years of age; and leaves a wife and three children the youngest of whom is about ten years of age.

Under the provisions of the Workman’s Compensation Act he was insured against accident for £300 in the Queensland Insurance Company.

The mishap was the first that has resulted fatally at Epsom, according to Dr Joyce, for upwards of twenty years. The body was removed to the Morgue. The remains of deceased

was buried in the Brighton cemetery on Monday. *** WORD has been received by the friends of private Roger Burton that he is at present dangerously ill. *** THE friends of Mr E. Rogers will regret to hear that he is at present in St Pancras Hospital, Frankston, seriously ill. *** WE are pleased to hear that Private C. Brody, who was suffering from a severe cold, and confined in the Base Hospital, is again convalescent. *** GEO. Mitchell, the well known driver for Mr Benson, cab proprietor, Frankston, was conveyed to the Melbourne Hospital on Tuesday, suffering from a poisoned foot. *** THE many friends of Mr Jas.Bonner will be pleased to learn that he has recovered from the illness he was suffering from, and is now able to resume his duties at the store. *** IT is pleasing to note that the property in Frankston, which has been for the last 40 years owned by the late Mrs Cattanach, will not pass out of the hands of the family, Mr W. Cattanach, Chairman of the Water Commission, having purchased the property privately when the estate was cleared up. *** MESSRS Coghill and Haughton will

hold a large realising sale of the balance of the Woyna Estate Dromana, at Scotts Hotel, Collins St, Melbourne, on Wednesday next at 3 o’clock, by order of G. A. Wornarski Esq., comprising about 140 acres of flat and 180 acres of undulating country.

Full particulars can be obtained from the owner on the property. This is a good opportunity for those in want of land, as the owner has determined to sell and enlist. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold an extensive subdivisional sale of 25 magnificent building allotments of the Beach St. Estate Frankston this (Saturday) afternoon, commencing at 3 o’clock in a marquee on the ground.

Each allotment has 66ft frontage with a big depth to Finlay street.

The land is well situated, and adjacent to the local railway station.

Exceptionally easy terms are offered, viz, £2 cash deposit, and the balance 10s per month without interest. *** THE Frankston Mechanics’ Hall was packed to the doors on Wednesday evening, the occasion being the concert given by the Langwarrin Concert Party in aid of Langwarrin amusements for the soldiers.

Previous to the commencement of the concert, the Military Band, under the leadership of Sergant J.Thomas, paraded the town, and played enlivening selections, which were much appreciated.

A feature in the carrying out of the

programme was the promptness with which it was carried through from start to finish, each performer being ready to take his place as soon as the former piece was finished, and a start was made at eight o’clock to the minute.

The band commenced proceedings by playing several selections in good style, after which Mr W. Finlay played the overture. This gentleman also played most of the accompaniments to the songs during the evening, and showed himself a proficient in the art of manipulating the pianoforte.

Private J. Sinclair then gave a good rendering of the song “Queen of the Earth.” “Baa-baa the Billy Goat” tickled the risible faculties of the audience, sang by a gent in costume, whose name we did not ascertain.

Private Wm. Elder gave a ragtime piece, entitled ‘Everybody rag with me,” for which an encore was demanded. Mr J Moss, in his humorous songs “I followed her everywhere” and “Let’s all go round to Mary Ann’s” was in the good graces of the audience at once, and scored a signal success.

The performers were regaled with light refreshments during the interval, provided by some of the local ladies, which were much appreciated. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 27 May, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Flex and flexibility - resisting change

By Stuart McCullough IT’S been said before. I am, it would seem, a very inflexible human being.

Not just around the edges but right to the very core of my soul. Reluctant to change and slow to adapt, by comparison I make glaciers look like the very model of agility. In evolutionary terms, Charles Darwin would not hesitate to point his long, bony finger in my direction to describe me as clear evidence of survival of the un-fittest.

More than a mere characteristic, my inflexibility is a super power. Were I to rip open my shirt, it would surely reveal a giant letter ‘I’.

This kind of paranormal rigidity has its downsides and, as a result, I’ve been slow to embrace every technological advance of the past thirty years. I have only just warmed to microwaves, having earlier treated them with suspicion, although I suspect the time might soon arrive for me to get rid of my Commodore 64 personal computing system, as it may not now come back into vogue as I’d first hoped. For crying out loud, I’ve even kept all my videotapes, just in case. Who’s to say that I won’t one day need that episode of ‘A Country Practice’ I taped in 1986 or the first ‘Police Academy’ film in which I attempted to edit out the advertisements but lost interest and forgot to un-pause the video recorder, thereby missing about twenty minutes of the movie? I set harder than concrete. I am a veritable whisker away from being Amish.

It’s just as well and I’m handy with a horse and am fond of buttons.

For the most part, I get by. My spectacularly inflexible nature remains

hidden from view; passersby wouldn’t suspect a thing. Fellow commuters will never realize that they have sat in the presence of someone so unyielding. But, from time to time, it’s impossible to maintain the charade, when your flexibility (or lack thereof) must inevitably take centre stage. Be it an unexpected sporting event, an impromptu dance routine or simply the

need to fish out a two dollar coin that’s worked free of your pocket and fallen behind the couch; there’s a moment when your flaws are well and truly exposed. In my case, this occurred during an activity known as ‘remedial pilates’.

Many people fear the unknown. And yet, it’s also true that we often don’t know enough about some things to be

afraid of them. When I was told that I ought to start attending pilates classes, I was nonplussed. After all, I’d attended about a dozen yoga classes over the course of my life and this, I assumed, rendered me something of an expert.

Probably not a black belt, but well beyond a novice. My previous yoga experience had taught me a couple of useful things. First and foremost, don’t wear shorts. (Truly, I cannot emphasize the importance of this enough.

Avoiding shorts when attending yoga class is best for everyone. People will thank you.) The second thing I learned is that even during the bits in which you’re supposed to be relaxing and communing with the universe, always keep one eye open. This is because I once attended a class with a friend who, upon seeing that I had my eyes closed, saw this as an opportunity to hurl a beanbag at the back of my head.

Pilates, I was assured, would be a step up from the yoga classes I had previously undertaken. Pulling on my full-legged exercise trousers, I arrived for my seven o’clock Saturday morning assessment. This, ostensibly, was to see where I was at and determine whether I should train with the amateurs or join the professional ranks right away. Things, however, did not go as planned.

I ought to have known I was in trouble when the instructor took one look at me and cancelled all her other appointments. There was something about my appearance that inspired a degree of alarm, despite the fact I wasn’t wearing shorts. My posture, so I was informed, left a lot to be de-

sired. This was a considerable disappointment to me – I would have been fine had my posture left a lot to the imagination as opposed to a lot to be desired, but it wasn’t the right time to quibble.

Within moments of sitting me on the floor, I had been turned into a human pretzel by the instructor. As I sat, my limbs tangled, I feared that the wind might change and I’d end up stuck like this forever. I began to wonder whether the first test of pilates was to see whether I could unknot myself. I tried to retrieve my arms but it was no use. The instructor had left the room, briefly, and I felt like a bowling pin after it’s just been grazed by a ball, teetering and ready to tumble.

Should I call out to the instructor for help? That would be humiliating. I reasoned it would be better to fall onto my side and use my nose to dial triple zero. Within moments, the jaws of life would be freeing me from myself.

Using a crowbar, string and a can of WD40, the instructor unpicked my arms and legs. I would need several one on one sessions, she told me sternly. Then, if I made satisfactory progress, I’d be allowed to join the beginners’ class. I was shocked. To be told that I’d need to improve in order to be considered a beginner was too much to take. I contemplated demanding a recount but took a big breath and smiled. ‘But of course’, I said. It is, after all, important to be flexible about such things. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

WOODLOCK HEAD TO THE GRAND Woodlock is comprised of three members; Kiwi brothers Zech and Eze Walters on guitar and vocals and their mate Bowen Purcell, who provides the percussion.

Zech, Eze and Bowen formed a strong friendship after meeting whilst travelling overseas. From there, Woodlock was born.

They’ve worked hard to perfect the sounds they craft in the studio for a live setting. Their efforts focus on strong, energetic and creative live shows to take their performance to the next level.

Now based in Melbourne, the boys have gained some great recognition and created a strong following after tirelessly busking on every corner of Melbourne’s central business district.

Woodlock released their second EP, titled Labour of Love in 2014, produced by

Wayne Connolly (Josh Pyke, The Vines). Labour of Love made it to the top 100 ARIA charts, as well as charting on iTunes. They’ve sold around 29,000 EPs to date independently.

Woodlock released Sirens in September 2015, which gained them spots on the independent charts, top 50 iTunes charts and top 10 spots on the Spotify viral charts.

They wrapped up a huge tour selling out rooms all over the country and finished up last year at NYE on The Hill and Falls Festival.

Local fans will have their chance to see Woodlock live in the flesh when they head to The Grand Hotel in Mornington on Friday, 3rd June.

For tickets phone (03) 5975 2001 or go to www.grand. net.au.

JAZZ HANDS AT THE READY… Mornington Street corners, bars and restaurants will come alive over the Queen’s Birthday Weekend, June 10 – 12, as some of the biggest names in the business hit town for the fourth annual Mornington Winter Jazz Festival. The 2016 festival is set to take things to a whole new level with the introduction of a new Blues program which will be jam packed with some of Mornington Peninsula’s favourite artists!

The 2015 festival was a huge success, with more than 116 performances in and around Mornington, and this year festival organisers the Mornington Chamber of Commerce are aiming to raise the bar even further.

There are also a heap of great free performances in and around town all weekend including a killer blues line up at Double G Saloon, Jazz-A-Thon at Leaf and Bean, a jam packed showcase of jazz at Gods Kitchen and for the latin lovers, newly opened Casa De Playa presents La Rumba who will have you dancing till the wee hours of Saturday night!

Between Friday and Sunday there are over 50 performances available for you to experience ranging from intimate Jazz dinner shows to dance floor take over swing and blues sessions including the ever popular Mick Pealing and band at the Bay Hotel Sunday afternoon.

Multi-ARIA nominee Frank Bennett kicks things off at The Rocks on Friday, June 10. Bennett’s uncanny ability to recapture the magic of Sinatra in concert has made him one of the most popular and sought after entertainers in Australia today. Friday evening also plays host to a great blues line up at The Grand Hotel with local favourites Wilson & White, Diddy Reyes and Rob Papp’s Blues Head supporting the unmissable Soul Sacrifice, Melbourne’s best Santana touring band.

For something a little more unique, Brooklands of Mornington are hosting a one of a kind Chefs Choice 5 Course Dining Experience on Friday evening accompanied by an evening of Jazz in the Eighteen78 dining room. Bookings can be made directly with the venue.

Off the back of an epic performance in 2015, soul singers Vika Bull and Adrew DeSilva (pictured) are set to draw a crowd to their performance ‘Let’s Get It On, The Life and Music of Marvin Gaye’ at the Grand Hotel Sunday June 12. Likewise, Vince Jones returns to Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery on Saturday June 11 with a new and unique show created exclusively for the Mornington Winter Jazz Festival.

Of course Saturday and Sunday will offer a wide variety of free street entertainment with roving bands parading the Main Street and children’s entertainment to keep the little ones enthralled too!

Sharks come out on top: Thirty points was the comfortable margin at the end of of MPNFL Sharks and Northern League seniors clash.

Sharks to fight to be number one INTERLEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE MPNFL Sharks will play Geelong FL next year in a bid to claim the title of the best league in Victoria after beating Northern Football League on Saturday.

Northern Football League beat the Amateurs last season and the year prior was too good for who many consider to be the best competition, Eastern Football League.

Eastern Football league and Geelong Football league were considered the best two sides in the state and went head to head at Geelong on Saturday.

The home side was convincing in its victory in that match.

The MPNFL Young Guns side travelled to Healesville to tackle the Yarra Ranges, however, despite a gallant effort, went down by 10 points in the end.

The main game at Rye didn’t attract much of a crowd but the football was quality.

The locals went into the clash without the likes of Anthony Barry (was made to play at Western Bulldogs in the VFL), Luke Tapscott (neck), Rohan Heasley, Scott Simpson and Shane McDonald (all for various reasons) while Hastings’ Luke Hewitt was the emergency.

Frankston YCW’s Scott McLeod was a late call up and his pressure was outstanding throughout while Dromana’s Christian Ongarello replaced Barry and he was one of the Sharks’ best.

The home side got off to a slow start and trailed by 10 points at the first change.

The visitors appeared to be more organised, always seemed to have a loose player behind the footy and when the ball went forward, they looked dangerous with their tall timber.

Sharks’ coach John Hynes told his

PAGE 20

Frankston Times 23 May 2016

charges that ‘composure’ was required, especially moving the ball into the dangerous 50 metre arc.

Hynes was also pushing home the fact that the side who pusher harder for longer would prevail in the end.

The Sharks’ pressure was good for the first 20 minutes of the first quarter but a lapse in concentration saw the visitors kick three quick goals.

The second quarter belonged to the Sharks, booting 8.3 to 3.1 to grab the momentum and take control of the match.

Dylan Jones, who took the honours in the ruck with great support from Beau Hendry, started to get his hands on the footy and the likes of Kyle Hutchison, Dale Sutton, Ryan Santon, Tim McGennis and Luke Potts started to win the ball out of the middle and at stoppages.

Pines teammates Tim Bongetti, Aaron Edwards and Guys Hendry, combined with the likes of Dan Gormley, Jimmy Cameron, Anthony Bruhn, Paul Minchington, Beau Cosson and Justin Van Unen, were a real handful in attack for the Sharks and the opposition was well aware of the forward power going into the match.

Northern coach Robert Hyde, a three-time Northern League premiership coach and premiership coach at Calder Cannons, told the RPP Footy Show prior to the match that the game would be won or lost in the middle of the ground.

“If we allow the MPNFL repeat entries into their forward half, I’m not sure how long our inexperienced backline will be able to hold them,” Hyde said.

“You are very potent up forward with Bongetti, Van Unen and Edwards and we just can’t give them opportunity to get their hand on the footy,” he said.

On the other side of the coin, Hynes

Young Guns fall short: Just ten points was the final margin in Young Gun’s match against Yarra Ranges.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard was more than happy with his back six and thought this was where his side could win the game.

Hynes proved to be right. The likes of Brenton Credlin, Rikki Johnson, Byron Barry, Warwick Miller, Kevin Lylak, Ongarello and the smooth moving Paul Rogasch controlled the back half of the ground.

The back line controlled the tempo, worked very cohesively and moved the ball with purpose from the defensive half of the ground.

The midfield ran and spread well and the forward half was very organised with the likes of Cosson, Bongetti, Bruhn, Hendry and Van Unen all working hard up the ground to provide a target for those coming out of defence.

Hynes wanted his side to work harder for longer and that’s exactly what they did, despite mini spurts from Northern.

The MPNFL kicked the first two goals of the third before Northern booted three in six minutes to get within 15 points at the last change.

Northern kicked the first of the last to reduce the margin to nine points before the Sharks booted the next three and iced the game.

Luke Potts was awarded the Best Player award from the opposition.

Young Guns A goalless third quarter was the difference between the Sharks and the Yarra Ranges.

The Sharks, all under the age of 24, were just two points behind at half time before the home side booted three goals to a behind in the third.

The Yarra Ranges then kicked clear early in the last quarter before the Sharks hit back, falling short 12.4 (76)

to 13.8 (86).

Ryan Marks-Logan, who has been outstanding for Frankston Bombers this season, carried that form into the interleague clash, while Tyabb’s Ethan Rahilly and Somerville’s Adrian Speedy were also superb through the middle of the ground.

In defence, Red Hill’s Jonah Siverson worked hard while the likes of Langwarrin’s Blake Harkness and Somerville’s Rohan Hogenbirk were tireless through the middle.

Under 19’s Sharks attack: Nepean Sharks beat Yarra Ranges by 63 points.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

Under 19s It was a mixed bag for the Under 19s with the Nepean Division side winning comfortably and the Peninsula Division side going down.

Where the MPNFL did get it wrong however, was playing Nepean League in Healesville and Peninsula League at Rye. It will be a combined side next season.

The Nepean Sharks smashed Yarra Ranges 16.20 (116) to 7.11 (53).

Rosebud’s Tanner Bishop, Sean Downie and Tom Stoffels were outstanding for the winners while Somerville’s Tom Roberts booted three goals.

In the other game, Northern Football League were far too strong for Peninsula, winning 23.13 (151) to 10.6 (66).

Keeping in mind that the Northern FL side was made up across a number of Divisions within their league.

Karingal’s Brad Occipinti and YCW’s Josh Butland booted three each for the Sharks while Mornington’s Ryan O’Dell and Edithvale’s Jordan Davey, along with YCW’s Luke Paynter and Pines’ Brad Kiely, were among the best players for the Sharks.

Baxter duo sent off, Mornington, Skye on top SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie BAXTER’S bubble burst in a spiteful State 5 top-of-the-table away clash against Rosebud Heart on Saturday.

A melee erupted just before half-time and threatened to spill into the crowd until the warring parties were kept at bay and order restored.

When the dust settled Baxter striker Mark Pagliarulo and midfielder Liam Kilner were red carded and during the half-time break referee Neil Byrne confirmed that they had been dismissed for violent conduct.

This was a much anticipated clash between the only teams in the league with perfect records in 2016 and it took a controversial goal by Heart marksman Dave Greening in the 44th minute to bring the simmering dislike between these local rivals to boiling point.

Heart took an early lead when Craig White was presented with a point blank header in the 15th minute but Daniel Disseldorp levelled in the 26th minute with a low shot inside the far post.

A ball over the top to Greening in the 44th minute presented him with a tap-in past onrushing Baxter custodian Daniel D’Alfonso to make it 2-1 and triggered an animated response from the Baxter players and bench claiming that Greening was offside.

This led to the dramatic scenes that followed and Baxter’s mountain took on Everest proportion two minutes after the interval when it failed to clear following a corner and White smashed the ball into the roof of the net from a few metres out to make it 3-1.

But Baxter’s character shone brightly as the nine men clawed back to 3-2 thanks to a Disseldorp header in the 64th minute.

However, their effort was in vain when a deflected long-range attempt was tipped onto the bar by D’Alfonso only for the rebound to present Daniel Hodge with a simple close range header for the sealer.

Mornington kept its perfect State 1 SouthEast record intact with a 2-1 home win over Berwick City on Saturday.

Shane Tagliaferro broke the deadlock with a 37th minute penalty conversion after he was fouled inside the area.

In the 59th minute Nick Waite challenged the Berwick keeper in the air and the ball struck a defender and went in for an own goal to make it 2-0.

Berwick hit back in the final minute courtesy of another own goal.

New Mornington signing Brad Blumenthal made his debut coming off the bench for Waite in the 60th minute.

Waite and Chris McKenna will be unavailable for the next two games due to a prior commitment – a two-week holiday in Bali.

Langwarrin won its third league game of the State 1 South-East season with a 6-3 victory over Mooroolbark at Lawton Park on Saturday.

Caleb Nichols and Koray Suat put great pressure on the Mooroolbark defence resulting in an own goal after only four minutes.

Berwick hit back in the 25th minute when

Sean Perrin slammed home the equaliser after a goalmouth scramble.

The visitors then hit the lead in the 41st minute when Liam Killen scored from a rebound after Robbie Acs pulled off a fine reflex save.

However, Langy levelled two minutes later when Brandon Giles scored his debut goal when he swooped to poke home a cross that had been headed down by Nicholes.

Berwick’s Liam Seaye turned in the six yard

box after the Langy defence failed to clear another corner and he hit the ball past a static defence to make it 3-2 in extra time in the first half.

Prolific Langwarrin scorer Nicholes equalised with a diving header after an inch-perfect cross from Boris Ovcin in the 51st minute.

Nicholes scored again 10 minutes later with a shot on the turn after fine build-up play from midfielder Sam Scott.

Dylan double: Seaford’s Dylan Waugh scored twice against Doncaster Rovers. Picture: Darryl Kennedy.

Scott got on the scoresheet in the 67th minute when his long range free-kick finished up in the back of the net from 40 metres out while Nicholes notched his hat trick and completed the scoreline in the 92nd minute.

Frankston Pines lost 2-1 at home to highflying Malvern City in their State 1 South-East fixture on Saturday but made the more fancied visitor fight hard for the points.

Corners in the 37th and 69th minutes led to headed goals by Michael Knott and Adam Sworonski respectively while Pines striker Ioasa Saemo’s 85th minute header following Elvin Prasad’s corner was too little too late.

Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United had to settle for a 3-3 draw at home against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday.

This State 2 South-East clash burst into life after two minutes with a diving header from Seaford’s Dylan Waugh after a cross from Li Nam Wang.

But 10 minutes later handling inside the area

by Andy Baros resulted in a penalty converted

by Doncaster’s Michael Santoro.

Another Waugh header four minutes later made it 2-1 but big Gino Defeo equalised for Doncaster in the 23rd minute following a fine build-up.

The visitors hit the front in the 65th minute following a superb strike by Alex Metcalfe but that effort was matched in the 91st minute by Seaford’s Tristan Stass for a share of the spoils.

Peninsula Strikers went down 3-0 away to promotion candidate St Kilda on Saturday the home team’s goals coming from Connor Gaul (34th minute), Ronan Smalle (67th minute) and Daryl Warren (78th minute).

Skye United maintained its lead at the top of State 4 South by thrashing cellar dweller Lyndale United 8-2 at Skye Recreational Reserve on Saturday afternoon.

Billy Armour’s side raced out to a 6-1 lead at the break thanks to a first-half hat-trick from new signing Alex Roberts.

Arriving from Seaford United, the former Bentleigh Greens Under-20s forward completed his hat-trick within half an hour, in between a sublime effort from Mark O’Connor and an own goal.

Lyndale was able to breathe life into an unflattering first half via a deflected cross but Skye added its sixth on the stroke of half-time in similar circumstances with Billy Painting’s strike finding the back of the net via a defender.

Skye maintained its dominance after the interval with leading goal scorer Daniel Attard nabbing a brace before the visitors added a late consolation.
