A MAJOR police operation targeting “vulnerable road users” at popular bike riding locations including Kingston’s Beach Rd detected “a staggering” 2248 offences.

Police said more than 300 “dodgy drivers, rogue cyclists and errant pe-destrians” a week were given a much needed wake-up call during Operation Amulet, which ran over seven weeks

and concluded this month.The operation aimed to promote the

safety of vulnerable road users, includ-ing motorcyclists, cyclists and pedes-trians, who are traditionally over-rep-resented in road trauma statistics.

Over the course of the operation, 1669 offences detected by police in-volved vehicles, 301 bicycles, 241 mo-torcycles and 37 pedestrians.

Police targeted the popular Beach Rd cycling route over three weekends dur-ing the operation and detected a total of 885 separate offences – almost 150

a day. Of these, 669 were committed by drivers, 147 by bicycle riders, 62 by motorcyclists, and seven by pedes-trians.

Sergeant Arty Lavos from the state bicycle and vulnerable road users co-ordination unit said it was disturbing to see the number of unnecessary risks people took on the road.

“It was disturbing to fi nd that a mi-nority of people appeared to think that the road rules didn’t apply to them and took risks, not only to their own safety but the safety of others,’ he said.

Sargeant Lavos said cyclists using the Beach Rd route between Port Mel-bourne to Frankston were especially vulnerable to accidents and posed a signifi cant risk to pedestrians.

Failure to give way, disobeying traf-fi c signals and speeding were among the most common causes of collisions involving cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians, he said.

“Many collisions occur at intersec-tions where drivers fail to give way to cyclists or pedestrians, particularly when turning right,” Sargeant Lavos

said. “We also see crashes happen when drivers and passengers open car doors into the path of an oncoming cy-clist.”

Collisions also occurred when cy-clists rode more than two abreast or disobeyed lane markings and traffi c signals, he said, while pedestrians too often diced with death by crossing against red signals and away from des-ignated crossings.

“We need to change the culture where people believe it’s every person for himself on the roads.”

Trees on foreshore Trees on foreshore protection for allprotection for allTHE section of Kingston foreshore between Mordialloc Creek and Carrum is the most vulnerable section of coastline in Port Phillip Bay - vulnerable because it is low-lying and subject to westerly gales, and when there is also a king tide and heavy rain in the catchment, subject to fl ooding.

On this section of vulnerable foreshore there are approximately 400 houses. Owners of these expensive properties want to protect “their” view of the bay and have persuaded the reviewers of Kingston’s Coastal Management Plan to have the following proposal adopted:

“Council will cease planting the tree species Banksias and Black She-oak on the foreshore to reduce any future impact on private bay views’.

Government policy states: “There is no legal entitlement to a view”.

The foreshore is Crown land available for public recreation and enjoyment “into the future”.

There are no “private” views, nor should 400 householders have the sole right to dictate what should be planted on the foreshore. Trees provide shade and shelter for beach goers.

The fi fth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report on climate change has just been released and states that “climate change is not some far-off concern...things are changing right now all over the planet and not for the better”.

Rising sea levels will put extra pressure on our beaches. Storm surges will cause erosion, As temperatures increase air conditioning bills will rise.

If residents living on this most vulnerable section of Port Phillip Bay had agreed to locally indigenous Banksias and Black she-oaks being planted on the foreshore houses would be shaded and protected from hot sun and gale force winds. Fuel bills would be reduced.

However, it seems that they prefer to have “their views”.

Let’s hope they don’t come running to council for sea walls and sand bags at ratepayers’ expense when things hot up.

Mary Rimington, Mordialloc

Anzac Day reflectionAnzac Day reflectionANZAC Day is an important op-portunity to consider and refl ect on the efforts and sacrifi ces made by our armed forces and their supporters, to give Australians the way of life we enjoy today.

I wish to express my gratitude and will be thinking of those who sacri-fi ced so much.

There are a number of public Anzac Day services taking place in this region. Among them is the Chelsea RSL’s 6am dawn service at the Chel-sea Cenotaph, followed by a march and service departing Swanpool Ave at 9.30am.

Mentone RSL is having a 6am dawn service and a march and service

departing the Arch in Mentone Park Parade at 8.40am.

Cheltenham Moorabbin RSL is holding a 5.45am dawn service and a march and service departing from Grange and Centre Dandenong Roads at 1.50pm.

For the dawn service in Melbourne at 6am at the Shrine of Remembrance, the state is providing buses that will arrive there at 5.40am.

One of those buses departs Mordial-loc RSL and goes via Mentone and Sandringham. Bookings can be made on 9575 4823.

Buses will be free on 24-26 April for veterans and war widows who wear their uniform, service medals or association badge.

They can also present a DVA Gold or White card, or Category V Trans-port Concession Card.

Cadets, Scouts, Guides and students wearing their respective uniforms can also travel free of charge on Anzac Day.

It is a signifi cant day. I hope you can join in.

THE Australian Services Union wants new guidelines to protect the safety of council law enforcement workers.

It says local laws offi cers and rang-ers face physical and verbal threats from people who are told they are breaking laws as well as attacks by dangerous dogs.

Their work can be challenging and sometimes dangerous, creating se-rious occupational hazards among workers, according to ASU assistant secretary Richard Duffy.

“Over recent years, the state gov-ernment has expected councils to

enforce many more state laws such as the new dangerous dog laws and restrictions on smoking in public places,” he said.

ASU members are employed in law enforcement across local government in roles such as park rangers, health offi cers, parking offi cers and animal management offi cers.

“ASU members tell us that safety is a real concern, including some real horror stories that puts our members at risk, including situations which could become life threatening,” Mr Duffy said.

“We hear stories of members who have been bitten by dangerous ani-mals, have collapsed due to excessive heat or even workers who have been stalked and physically assaulted.

“No employee should be treated like this at work. Police and emergen-cy service workers wouldn’t put up with it, so why should our members?

“The state government is increas-ing the amount of enforcement ac-tivities it expects of council, so some guidelines need to be quickly set in the interests of employees across all municipalities.”

Trail blazers A GROUP of Patterson River Secondary College students tackle the Kokoda Track each year. Papua New Guinea porters who help the students complete the 96-kilometre trail visited the school last month. Eleven porters were reu-nited with the Year 12 students they helped over the line in PNG in December last year.

The students spent 12 days walking the Kokoda Track, including 3 days living and working as a traditional member of a highland village. Students built pig fences, cut fi rewood and gathered food. Student Josh Fitt spoke of how the students came to experience the level of happiness of the locals after they recovered from withdrawal symptoms from modern technology, despite lacking the basics of modern life. “I suppose that it comes down to community and family” Josh said. Students spoke of their highlights which included their three day stay in the remote village of Kagi. Teacher Matt Clark described how at the end of large climb, the disbelief that he felt when told of how a small group of teenage soldiers dragged up a one-tonne gun during the height of the World War II battle between Australian and Japanese forces.

The PNG visitors sung three songs in perfect harmonies, including the national anthem.Carrum MP Donna Bauer, who also completed the Kokoda Track last year, shared her experiences with the students, encouraging

them to take the most of the opportunities the school offers them.Year 12 leaders Sarah Learmonth and Mitchell Gardiner presented a cheque for $500 that the students raised. The money will go

towards No Roads To Health, which provides medical assistance to remote residents in PNG and is organised through the trekking company, No Roads. Patterson River Secondary thanked Rotary for their help in raising money. Visit www.noroadsfoundation.com for donations information.

THE secret is out. Carrum MP Donna Bauer’s past has returned to haunt her – in the form of a haunting piano recital and a brush with pop stardom.

Ms Bauer appeared on Young Talent Time as a 13-year-old contestant tin-kling the ivories to the tune of Ballade Poir Adeline in 1984 and the footage has now been released on YouTube.

When confronted by The News, Ms Bauer admitted she “had always been a YTT tragic”.

“I used to watch the show every week and it was an ambition of mine to appear on it,” she said.

Ms Bauer said it was “a big deal” to travel to Melbourne for the show’s recording and she was awestruck at meeting host Johnny Young and the famous YTT team.

Her mum was excited about the big day and the frilly pink dress worn on the show was specially made by her for the occasion.

“I was rocking the big shoulder pads look that was all the rage back then,” Ms Bauer said.

Ms Bauer said she “learned to play music by ear” and reckoned she may make an effort to get her music playing chops back up to scratch.

“I slipped a few notes on the YTT appearance because they told you to also look at the camera and that was tough,” she said.

“But it was great fun and it’s a day I’ll always remember fondly.”

The YTT judges were impressed by her musical skill and awarded Ms Bau-er a total score of 83.

The Network Ten show launched the likes of Dannii Minogue and Tina Arena to musical fame but, alas, there was to be no such luck for Ms Bauer.

The score of 83 would have been high enough to win the week most episodes, but singer Deano Cananzi wowed the YTT judges with his per-formance of New York, New York and was awarded 86 points on the night.

Fortunately, Ms Bauer made a brand new start of it and made it in Carrum instead.

She found the old VHS footage of her YTT performance on a video tape when recuperating at home from chemotherapy to treat recently diag-nosed bowel cancer after major sur-gery to remove a tumour.

The mother-of-four faces a gruelling six months of treatment but said she felt “lucky” the cancer had been found early enough to be treatable.

“I’m optimistic I’ll make a full re-covery and thank everyone who has wished me well in the past few weeks.”

Mentone Grammar ready to engageMentone Grammar ready to engageNeil [email protected]

MENTONE Grammar has broken its self-imposed media gag to answer ques-tions about the bid to have its Keysbor-ough playing fi elds located in King-ston’s green wedge rezoned for possible residential development.

The school previously said was “inap-propriate to engage in media dialogue” while the matter was in the process of being referred to State Planning Minis-ter Matthew Guy for consideration.

However, Mentone Grammar princi-pal Mal Cater responded to questions last week from The News about a letter the elite private school sent to King-ston City Council CEO John Nevins in April 2012 asking that the school sports grounds be removed from the green wedge and moved into the urban growth boundary (‘Exclusive letter lands’, The News, 9/4/14).

The letter was obtained from council

by The News via a freedom of informa-tion request.

The Mentone Grammar correspond-ence, signed by principal Mal Cater and chairman Simon Appel, requested council consider rezoning the 16 hec-tares of playing fi elds land to either a Residential 1 or Mixed Use zone and stated “future uses… may include resi-dential development with lots of 300m2 to 500m2 in size”.

Mr Cater said the school had no inten-tion of selling the playing fi elds land “in the foreseeable future”.

“The school is keen to have a zoning on the land which maximises its fl ex-ibility of use for the school rather than the current restricted zoning,” Mr Cater said.

It has been estimated Mentone Gram-mar could make up to $60 million if the land is sold for residential development.

The school’s request asking council to consider rezoning the Keysborough playing fi elds land - initially kept confi -

dential by council - faces several hur-dles before it could become reality.

Kingston councillors narrowly voted in January this year to investigate the possibility of the playing fi elds land being rezoned as part of a parcel of green wedge land within the boundary of Braeside Park, Southern Golf Club, Springvale and Governor Rds to “an appropriate residential zone”.

Urban planning consultants Planisp-ehere recommended the Keysborough playing fi elds should remain in the green wedge as part of the Kingston Green Wedge Plan delivered in August 2012.

Council is in the process of re-engaging Planisphere and consulting with council offi cers and land owners on the prospect of removing the land from the green wedge despite planning minister Matthew Guy’s declaration in parliament last month that he had “no intention” of authorising the change (‘Guy no intention to rezone wedge’,

The News, 26/3/14).Cr Ron Brownlees used his latest

ward column in council’s Kingston Your City bi-monthly publication to state: “What we need to understand is that approximately 80 per cent of what we refer to as ‘our’ Green Wedge actu-ally belongs to someone else - private landowners and residents.”

“Council and other levels of govern-ment will never be in the position to obtain all the private land for public use unless there is some form of com-promise and negotiation that allows as much land as possible to come into ‘public’ ownership while at the same time respecting the rights and history of the current owners.”

Mr Cater said: “the school has no comment other than all planning mat-ters are subject to a rigorous set of gov-ernment guidelines and process.”

He said Mentone Grammar “will respect the Planning Minister’s deci-sion.”

Secret tape proves Bauer’s got talent

No kidding around No kidding around on smoking banson smoking bans

Look out for litterLook out for litter

Hard call on wasteHard call on waste

SMOKING is now banned at or with-in a 10-metre radius of outdoor chil-dren’s playgrounds and skate parks throughout Kingston after the state government passed legislation to en-force the ban.

Bans also apply to indoor and out-door areas of all public swimming pools and at sporting venues during under 18s sporting events.

“These new rules will protect chil-dren and young people from second-hand smoke,” Kingston mayor Paul Peulich said.

The state government has given Kingston City Council a $5000 grant to install no smoking signs around venues.

Council offi cers have distributed educational material to sporting clubs and leisure centres to ensure members of the public are aware of the new laws.“With such strong community support for these smoking bans, we expect most people to voluntarily comply,” Cr Peulich said.Visit www.health.vic.gov.au/tobac-coreforms for further information.

KINGSTON’S Beach Patrols are looking for volunteers to help keep the municipality’s beaches clean and free from litter.

Volunteers help clean the beaches in an effort to make them safer and more enjoyable for all.

Each patrol member pledges one hour of voluntary beach cleaning each month, either individually at a time that best suits them or as part of monthly organised clean up groups.

Group cleans are usually conducted on Saturday morning and are followed by a fun social session.

Contact Kingston City Council’s environmental projects offi cer Renae Walton on 9581 4379 or email [email protected] for further details.

A NEW ‘on call’ hard rubbish collec-tion service in addition to the annual hard rubbish collection scheduled in September and October is being of-fered by Kingston City Council.

A fi rst call out costs $50 for and it is $85 for each subsequent call out.

Items collected will be the same as the annual hard waste collection ser-vice except mattresses, which can be collected for an extra $20 per mattress.

Bookings essential. Call 9721 1915 or visit www.king-

Council will contribute $2.5 million to fund the construction of the new Mordialloc Life Saving Club.

The new two storey clubhouse will replace the existing building with new modern facilities. The clubhouse will include an observation tower and function/training room upstairs, with large change-rooms storage areas downstairs.

The State Government, through Life Saving Victoria’s Building Fund, will contribute an additional $1 million with the club’s own fundraising contributing $100,000.

Council is working on detailed designs for the new building and community comment will be sought later this year.

Butting out smoking around play areasKingston supports new statewide smoking bans at outdoor areas where children are playing, swimming or participating in sport.

The bans will create healthier, smoke-free environments where children and young people can enjoy themselves without being exposed to harmful secondhand tobacco smoke.

The bans came into effect on 1 April and aim to make smoking less visible and so less socially acceptable to children and young people.

People will not be allowed to smoke within ten metres of playgrounds, skate parks and sporting venues during events for children under 18.

Time to set record straight on vinylNeil [email protected]

VINYL afi cionados will celebrate and spread the word that the record is not dead on Saturday 19 April with Re-cord Store Day set to be celebrated worldwide.

The day sees record labels, bands and fans come together to celebrate the culture of the independent record store.

The annual event began in 2008 and has steadily gained momentum as an resurgence in interest in vinyl records gathers pace.

Online digital music services such as iTunes and Spotify have eaten away at the CDs sales market, but many music connoisseurs are returning to or turning to vinyl for the fi rst time in a move to listen to music in the highest-quality format possible in the form of an object that is collectable and has a heft that makes it treasurable to an owner.

Cheltenham’s Vinyl Solutions shop owner Glenn Aitken said he had “no-ticed a bit of an upswing” in the sale of vinyl records, but his store has always stocked platters, even when CDs be-came the most popular music format.

“Sales are healthier and the main difference now is people are no longer coming into the shop and asking why we still stock vinyl since they didn’t think anyone bought records any-more,” he said.

Mr Aitken said he likened buying a record against purchasing a CD or MP3 fi le to owning a MG Sports car or Toyota Corolla.

“Sure, the Corolla is – in many ways – more reliable but it’s more fun to own the MG,” he said.

Music labels — still referred to as record labels despite focusing most of their attention on CDs production in recent decades — have noticed the vi-nyl trend emerging and most new re-leases are now also issued on record,

which was almost never the case even fi ve years ago.

Conspiracy theorists claim the music industry deliberately tried to “kill” the record when CDs were fi rst launched in the 1980s, with many vi-nyl records of that time pressed on cheaper thinner inferior-quality vinyl, but the records being produced now

are 180 gram “heavy” vinyl remas-tered editions.

An upswing in quality has led to an upswing in sales.

The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) said record sales doubled last year from a low base of about $1 million nationally to $2m, proving there is renewed life in the

long thought “dead” format.Mr Aitken said many older mu-

sic fans had remained loyal to the “warmer” analogue sound of vinyl but more young people were also now buying records.

“They’re buying it for the sound quality but also to get a sense of own-ership – they like to have the artwork and a tangible object by their favour-ite bands after they’ve listened to songs on their iPods and iPhones.”

Vinyl Solutions stocks vinyl, CDs and memorabilia from every genre of music from easy-listening to punk.

Mr Aitken said he is always happy to talk to anyone who is thinking about returning to vinyl or making their fi rst foray into listening to the humble platter.

Australian music legend Nick Cave has issued a rallying call to support independent record stores.

A statement on the Record Store website declared: “Do yourself a tre-mendous favour and go to a record store today.”

“The relatively mild exertion of getting off your fat, computer-shack-led ass and venturing out to fi nd the object of your desire, the thrill of moving through actual space and time, through row upon row of re-cords, and the tactile ecstasy of fon-dling the quested treasure — all this will augment and enrich the mental associations the music invokes in you for the rest of your life.”

Pumping up Bloods: Mordialloc Football Club president John Pitura sitting in the club’s home ground grandstand. Picture: Gary Sissons

Pitura points Pitura points way for Bloodsway for BloodsNeil [email protected]

THE strong “Bloods” team culture oft cited as the reason behind AFL side Sydney Swans recent premiership tri-umphs is well and truly alive at Mordi-alloc Football Club.

New club president John Pitura is a former South Melbourne (now the Syd-ney Swans) player, turning out for the Bloods in the VFL from 1969 to 1974, before making the switch to Punt Rd to play for Richmond from 1975 to 1977.

The 63-year-old was elected Mor-dialloc FC president late last year and is now heading up the club, also nick-named the Bloods.

Pitura said he decided to get involved at a suburban footy level after heading along to Mordialloc games to watch his son Scott play for the team.

The new president is determined to help the club achieve onfi eld success by ensuring it has a strong fi nancial base off-fi eld.

“Like all footy club presidents, my job involves generating funds to pay the bills and make sure players can be paid”, he said.

“The club is not in great shape but we’ve put in some measures this sea-son to try to make a push for promotion to division 1.”

Sponsors including the Mordialloc Sporting Club, Supps R Us, Mr Donut and Jims Mowing have jumped on-board the Bloods bandwagon.

Pitura has combined his footy knowl-edge with corporate experience gained from his post-playing work for Speedos swimwear and Canterbury of New Zea-land to get the Mordialloc Football and Netball Club back onto a sound fi nan-cial footing.

“I leave the football tactics and team selection to the coaches, but if they’d like any advice I’m always around,” he said.

Refl ecting on how the game has changed since his playing days, Pitura said it was “almost unrecognisable”.

“Some of the AFL rules changes in recent years have ruined the game as a spectacle in many ways,” he said.

“One-on-one contests have mostly been eliminated and constant rotations mean there’s blokes getting a game whose sole reason for playing is to stop the better players getting a kick.”

The former centreman/half forward fl ank player said it was a shame excit-ing goal-kicking forwards were being lost to the game.

“It’s crazy – we spent years teach-ing young kids to run and spread and play in their positions and now it’s just a cluster of players in one half of the ground at any one time [at an AFL lev-el] following the ball around.”

Pitura hardly watches the game he played now as it is played at its highest level but is revelling in the opportunity to get involved with football at a local level and bring a bit of the Bloods ethos to Mordialloc.

MORE than $40,000 worth of air-conditioning units, hot water systems and power tools have been stolen in a spate of burglaries targeting Kingston factories.

Kingston Crime Investigation Unit detectives believe the same thieves are responsible for four separate burglaries at factories in Dingley and Braeside between 24 March and 9 April.

Ten Rinnai S20 hot water systems were stolen from a factory in Hedland Place, Braeside, sometime between 24 and 25 March after thieves cut through a fence to break into the property.

They then forced entry into a neigh-bouring factory where a quantity of power tools, including a Makita grinder and a Metabo hammer drill, was stolen.

The following night, Ten Takagi T20 hot water systems valued at $1000 each were stolen from a fac-tory in Redwood Drive, Dingley Village.

Police believe a trailer was used to transport the hot water systems.

The same thieves are also believed to be responsible for the theft of 14 Brivis split-system air-conditioning units worth $1500 each from a business in Malcolm Rd, Braeside, sometime between 6 and 9 April.

Anyone who may be able to help identify the thieves or who saw any suspicious activity in the area at the time of the robberies is asked to con-tact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Easy rider: Rick Mirabella will cycle 1000km to raise funds for the Leukaemia and Myeloma Foundations. Picture: Gary Sissons

FRANKSTON DOLPHINS conditioning coach Rick Mirabella never intended to get on his bike but the Chelsea Heights resident was “persuaded” to join a four-man cycling team set to rise 1000 kilometres to raise money for the Leukaemia and Myeloma Foundations.

The 31-year-old personal fi tness trainer said he is not a cyclist but three of his personal fi tness clients - Ian Brady, Troy Puller and Ash Bassett - convinced him to join their Ride For Recovery team to take on the challenge of cycling 1000km from Adelaide to Melbourne.

“We’ll ride about 150km per day so it’ll be seven days in the saddle,” Mirabella said.

“The training for the ride has been a bit different from my usual routine and I’m guessing by the end of the week’s cycling I won’t want to sit on a saddle for a long time afterwards.”

Mirabella is a distance running specialist so reckoned his fi tness should put him in good stead for the journey ahead.

He recently hosted a female footy match which raised $1000 towards his goal to raise $4500 for the Leukaemia and Myeloma Foundations.

The Ride For Recovery will leave Adelaide on Monday 21 April.

Cyclists will take in the views of some scenic towns and areas of South Australia including Harndorf and the

McLaren Vale.Participants will cycle down

to the Great Ocean Rd and arrive in Melbourne on Sunday 27 April.

FOUR years after marching out of Kingston, the Saints look to be on the move again.

Frankston Council has been blind-sided by news St Kilda Football Club may be set to abandon its multi-mil-lion dollar training centre at Seaford.

It was revealed last week that the AFL, the state government, Cricket Victoria and MCC offi cials had talked about the Saints moving back to Junc-tion Oval as part of a multi-million re-development of the ground in St Kilda.

Frankston mayor Darrel Taylor said the council was “disappointed that this proposal was not discussed with us as a key stakeholder”. The club arrived at Seaford just four years ago after abandoning Moorabbin under a lease that would see it stay at the $11 million state-of-the-art train-ing and administration facility at Bel-vedere Park until 2035.

The Age reported last week that the planned return to a redeveloped Junction Oval, the Saints’ original home ground before the club moved to Moorabbin in 1965, would be a sentimental one for many of the team’s supporters but would hurt the club’s much-vaunted strategy to increase membership in the outer south-eastern suburbs.

If the Saints agreed to share Junction Oval with Cricket Victoria the AFL would be able to host games at the MCG in March, early in the footy season.

The lack of availability of the MCG for footy games due to cricket matches at the stadium last month has been cited

Saints could be marching outSaints could be marching out

as a contributory factor to a drop in AFL attendance fi gures this year.

Frankston Council spent about $4 mil-lion of ratepayers’ money as part of the 2008 deal to entice the Saints from their former training base at Moorabbin.

The state government tipped in $3.45 million, the AFL $2.55 million, and the football club chipped in $1.43 million.

St Kilda said it had not been involved in the discussions about the Junction Oval redevelopment, but consultations with the AFL had included a Saints “pres-ence” in any redevelopment there. A club statement said St Kilda had a “whole of bayside strategy”, including the use of facilities at Seaford and Moorabbin and “strong relationships with Frankston and Kingston city councils”.

Saints players still train at Moorabbin at least once a month. Several Saints players have previously hinted they were unhappy at the club’s commercial deci-sion to force them to travel from Mel-bourne for Seaford training sessions.

Captain Nick Riewoldt led criticism, telling Triple M radio last year that it was “sad” players had to train at Seaford.

“Moorabbin holds a pretty special place, particularly in the senior players’ hearts, it was sad as a player to move down to Seaford,” he said.

Riewoldt said he lived in South Mel-bourne so it was more convenient for him to drive the shorter distance to Moorabbin for training.

The Saints opted for the Seaford switch from Moorabbin after 42 years

when Kingston City Council refused to let the club move more than 80 poker machines from its social club to a pro-posed new venue in the same suburb.

Frankston justifi ed spending millions of dollar worth of ratepayers’ money to lure the Saints to Seaford by estimating the community would see more than $42.5m of “on-fl ow benefi ts” annually “once the Saints settle in Frankston”.

Critics of the deal at the time, includ-ing some councillors, had argued the money could be better spent, saying council should not hand over a large sum of money to a professional AFL club when many community sports clubs were short of funds.

Supporters of the deal said the elite Seaford sporting precinct would be open

to community sports clubs. The Seaford Tigers Cricket Club also uses the pre-cinct as its base. However, Frankston Council has not given up hope that St Kilda will honour its commitment to re-main at Seaford until 2035.

“We have signed a 50-year lease agree-ment with the St Kilda Football Club and have worked in partnership with the club to establish strong ties within our com-munity,” Cr Taylor said.

“We look forward to further develop-ing our relationship with the St Kilda Football Club as they see out their remaining 45-year agreement with Frankston City Council.”

St Kilda declined to comment further until more details of the Junction Oval redevelopment were known.

Drawing the truth out: Editor Russ Radcliffe, compiler of the annual Best Australian Political Cartoons book, with a caricature of Prime Minister Tony Abbott. Picture: Yanni

Polly waffle hits the drawing boardNeil [email protected]

SOME might say Australian politics has become farcical in recent years, with many voters disillusioned at the vapid adversarial posturing of politicians hell-bent on gaining power for power’s sake, without any conviction of what to do once they get into government.

But the personal nature of much of what passes for political debate has been a boon for one group of interested observers – political cartoonists.

Satirical looks at politicians from all parties have never been more popular, often summing up serious news events better than thousands of words can.

Social media users now regularly pass on the best of these cartoons to thousands of others who may not have seen the political sketches in its original publication.

Russ Radcliffe has been gathering the best political cartoons of the year to be compiled into the Best Australian Political Cartoons book, which has been published by Scribe Publications since 2004. He will visit the Mornington Peninsula later this month to discuss the latest edition.

An exhibition of the best political cartoons from 2013, selected by Radcliffe, entitled Suppositories of Wisdom, is being hosted at Antipodes Gallery & Bookshop in Sorrento until Saturday 3 May.

Radcliffe will give a talk on political cartooning and the events of last year on Saturday 19 April at the Sorrento bookshop.

The title of the exhibition is a reference to Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s gaffe last year on the election campaign trail when he declared that no one politician could be “the suppository of all wisdom”.

Radcliffe said he sees political cartoons as “an alternative and subversive pictorial history” that shed a light on political decisions and events.

“The best political cartoons have a really good idea for a joke at a powerful person’s expense at its core, and sum up yet also provide comment on a contemporary issue,” he said.

“It’s a very powerful means of making people think about something important in a new way.”

The exhibition and book features work by many of Australia’s most renowned cartoonists such as the Sydney Morning Herald’s Alan Moir, The Australian newspaper’s Bill Leak and Jon Kudelka, The Age’s Matt Golding and Judy Horacek.

Radcliffe is based in Richmond and had the idea to exhibit political cartoons at Antipodes Gallery & Bookshop since he is a regular customer there when he visits his mother who lives in Rye.

“It’s a fantastic bookshop and it has a great gallery space,” he said.

When asked to nominate his personal favourites, Radcliffe said he loves the work of The Australian Financial Review’s David Crowe whose “anarchic and highly-detailed images” are “absolutely wonderful”.

“His work isn’t seen by a huge circulation since the AFR is aimed at the business circles niche so it’s good to give his work another outlet for publication,” Radcliffe said.

He also nominated Alan Moir and The Age’s John Spooner as cartoonists he is always keen to see their take on political events.

His favourite sketch of last year was the Sun-Herald’s Cathy Wilcox’s Walkley Award-winning effort lampooning the return of prime minister Kevin Rudd to Kirribilli House and ordering a cleaner to remove all traces of his predecessor, Julia Gillard.

“It depicted Rudd as a ‘details freak’ obsessed with erasing any remnant of Gillard’s time at the helm after she was instrumental in disposing him from the prime ministership in the fi rst instance,” Radcliffe said.

“Sometimes, I don’t agree with the Walkleys judges’ choice but last year I thought they got it spot on.”

Radcliffe said former Crikey cartoonist First Dog on the Moon (also known as Andrew Marlton), had “a new style” that initially seems “childish” but is “completely original and never boring”. He said First Dog’s comic strip approach to political cartoons allowed him to expand on themes unlike other cartoonists who can be restricted by the genre’s one-panel format.

First Dog on the Moon, also a Walkley award winner, was recently poached from Crikey by The Guardian newspaper’s Australian website.

Radcliffe spent a decade at Scribe Publications as commissioning editor before heading out on his own to found his own publishing house, High Horse.

He continues to compile the Best Australian Political Cartoons each year for Scribe.

“High Horse publishes non-fi ction travel books, political books, history and crime novels,” he said. “I’m always on the look out for good and original Australian writing talent”.

The Best Australian Political Cartoons 2013 book is available to buy at all good bookstores.

Cartoonists are paid royalties from the book’s sales and Radcliffe said it is a great way to own a record of the past year’s political events for future reference.

Russ Radcliffe will give a talk on political cartooning at the Suppositories of Wisdom exhibition at Antipodes Gallery & Bookshop, 138 Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento on Saturday 18 April at 2pm.

MUSIC lost one of its greats this month with the passing of composer, arranger and trumpeter Gil Askey at the age of 89.w

His name may not be as well known as some of the music legends he worked alongside, but his infl uence on their songs behind the scenes helped form the world-renowned Motown sound and launched some music greats’ careers into the stratosphere.

Askey was born in Austin, Texas on 9 March 1925 and emigrated to Austral-ia from the US in 1980. He made the Mornington Peninsula his home for the past few decades, and dedicated his lat-er years to passing on lessons learned from his extensive music experience to future generations of musicians, teaching music at Woodleigh School in Langwarrin.

The Washington Post described Askey as “one of the architects of the legendary Motown sound” in a 2004 interview with the soul and jazz mu-sic legend. He performed with many iconic musicians such as Mile Davies, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and Count Basie.

He also worked as a music direc-tor for several famous Motown acts including Diana Ross, The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Ste-vie Wonder, The Jackson 5 and Gladys Knight throughout the record label’s successful 1960s heyday.

He continued working with Diana Ross in the 1970s and 1980s and was nominated for a Best Original Score Oscar for his production and arrange-ment of the Lady Sings The Blues movie soundtrack. The 1972 fi lm was a biopic of Billie Holiday and featured Diana Ross in her debut appearance as an actor.

Askey told journalist George Negus in a 2004 interview broadcast on ABC TV that “music completely took over my life” from when he was “about sev-en, eight years old” after he saw Louis Armstrong perform for the fi rst time.

He left Austin when he was 17 to join the US Army Air Corps in 1944 and subsequently headed to university on a medical scholarship where he studied to become a doctor but dropped out to tune in after two years when the call of his fi rst love music became too much to resist.

He began to realise he had a fl air for musical composition and arrangement when he enrolled at the Boston Con-servatory of Music and then the Harnett National Music Studios in Manhattan.

Motown man takes final bow in FrankstonMotown man takes final bow in Frankston

Musician of note: Gil Askey’s memorable career took him from jazz to the studios of Motown and fi nally to share his knowledge with students from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Picture: Yanni

Askey’s professional music career began as a band member for several 1950s and 60s jazz bands and a move to Detroit brought him to the attention of Berry Gordy’s nascent Motown record label, where his exceptional composing talents quickly saw him became a vital part of Motown’s success.

He was the in-studio composer and arranger of many of Motown’s mid to

late-1960s hit singles and albums and was hired by Diana Ross as her musi-cal director after she split from The Su-premes in 1969.

Askey also contributed in his own way to the disco boom in the 1970s, hopping genres to compose the smash hit Runa-way Love for Linda Clifford.

As he told George Negus in 2004: “It’s just music…people were dancing.”

Askey moved to Australia from the US in 1980 after he married his Aus-tralian wife, Ellen, who he fi rst met at Festival Hall in 1973 while on tour in Melbourne.

“Seven years later I married this lady and it changed my whole life,” he said.

The married couple had a son, Eric, in 1982. A daughter, Emile, followed.

Askey was still held in such high re-gard by Motown in 1983 that he was hired to produce the US television special Motown: Yesterday, Today, Forever featuring performances from the likes of Lionel Ritchie, The Com-modores, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Won-der, Junior Walker, The Miracles and The Four Tops.

Michael Jackson’s performance of Billie Jean on the show featured the fi rst public outing of his famous Moonwalk dance. The reaction of the audience to the never before seen dance move was so enthusiastic, the taping of the show had to be stopped to allow them to regain their compo-sure so fi lming of Jackson’s perfor-mance could be completed.

Askey retired from touring soon after the birth of his son and set-tled down in Melbourne and then the Mornington Peninsula.

He returned to performing live in the early 1990s around Melbourne and its suburbs, often accompanied by Ham-mond player Paul Williamson as part of the The John Montesante Quintet.

In 2010 he appeared as a guest team member on ABC TV’s music quiz show Spicks and Specks. Show host Adam Hills tweeted via Twitter upon hearing of Askey’s death that he was “a true musical legend, and a terrifi -cally lovely man”.

Askey taught music at Langwarrin’s Woodleigh School and was music di-rector of the Peninsula Youth Music Society band for several years.

Woodleigh School issued a mes-sage of condolence on Facebook: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of our great friend and teach-er, Gil Askey, who passed away on Wednesday afternoon. Thanks for the tunes, the passion and fun.”

A former student of Askey at Woodleigh School said: “I think of the fi rst time he pointed to me [at age 15], smiled that smile of his and said “Hey guitar man! Play me the blues!”. Every time I walk on stage I play the way I do because of my time learning from Gil at Woodleigh.”

Pulitzer Prize-winning column-ist and music critic Leonard Pitts Jr said Askey’s 1968 arrangement of the Christmas standard Silent Night for The Temptations as “spiritually, emo-tionally…transcendent”.

Askey will now “sleep in heavenly peace.”

Gil Askey died on Wednesday 9 April at the age of 89. He is survived by his wife Ellen, son Eric, daughter Emile and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 18 April 1914THE offi cial opening of the local cool stores will take place on Tuesday next, 21st inst. The opening ceremony will be performed by the Hon., The Minister of Agriculture (Mr W. Hutchison) at 11 a.m. Several other speakers are expected to be present, including Mr C. French, Government superintending engineer. Invitations have been extended to the majority of district residents, and a good attend-ance is anticipated.

***THE new Church is now nearing completion, and will be ready for the opening ceremony on 26th inst. The Archbishop of Melbourne will be in attendance on that day, and the event is being much looked forward to.

***REV. and Mrs Jackson, of Frankston, are at present enjoying a holiday at Donald.

***MR Harold Dial is at present undergoing an enforced holiday at Frankston, as the result of a broken rib, sustained by a fall in the engine room of his boat.

***A PLEASING function took place at Schultz’s Pier Hotel on Wednes-day evening last, the occasion being wishing good-bye to Senior-Constable McCallum, who has been recently transferred from Frankston to Geelong. Mr H. Gamble occu-pied the chair, and spoke in highly complimentary terms of their guest, both as a police offi cer and a private citizen, and during his stay of 18

months in the district he had gained the respect and esteem of all. He had much pleasure in presenting Mr McCallum with a travelling bag and rug as a small memento of his stay in Frankston, and hoped that his family and himself would continue to enjoy good health and prosperity wherever they are stationed. The remarks of the chairman were heartily endorsed by all present, and “For he’s a jolly good fellow” was sung most lustily. Mr McCallum feelingly responded, and thanked them most sincerely for the kind remarks made about Mrs McCallum and himself, and also for their handsome presents. While doing his duty as a police offi cer conscien-tiously he always tried to do it in the least objectionable manner, and in the majority of cases he always found it best. His stay in Frankston had been a pleasant one, and he hoped when he had leisure to again visit them and renew old acquaintances. After an enjoyable hour had been spent the proceedings terminated with mutual good wishes and hearty hand shakes.

***THE hall at Seaford was crowded on Saturday evening last for the concert given by Mr J. H. Hopkins, in aid of the funds of the Church of England, and the fi nancial results were more than satisfactory. A varied and interesting programme was very enthusiastically received. Mr J. H. Hopkins recited “My Lady’s Leap,” “The Vicar’s Presentation” and “How we played Julius Caesar” besides giv-ing three or four encores. Mrs J. H. Hopkins gave “If we only knew” and “Mrs Bateson’s tea party,” also two child impersonations “The Goblins,”

and “The Missionary,” the latter be-ing an encore. Songs were rendered

by the Missis Grose and L. Morgan, and Messrs L. R. and P. W. Hopkins. A humorous trio “Three Old Black Crows “ and a humorous sketch “The Mug,” were well received.

***AN attempt is being made to form a football club here this season. Surely it is not impossible, although the efforts put forward this last couple of years have failed. There is no doubt that there are enough young players living here, if they were all to join the club.

***IT is with regret we record the death of an old and highly respected resi-dent of Mornington, in the person of Mr Ernest William Schleeba, which took place at his late residence Queen street, Mornington, on Sunday last in his 69th year. The cause of death was dropsy of the heart. The late Mr Schleeba was born in Germany, and came to Australia 48 years ago and was a resident of Mornington for 31 years. In 1887 he took up his residence Frankston, and afterwards removed to the “Briars” at Osborne, and was in the employ of Mr Henry Miller for eleven years. He also was coach driving for Mr Tom Pope for several years and after Mr Pope retired from business he took out a carriers licence, and ran between Mornington and Frankston until the railway opened at Mornington. He continued his line of business at Mornington until four years ago, when he was laid up with his fi rst ill-ness, and he has been almost an inva-lid ever since. He leaves a widow and six sons and two daughters for whom the greatest sympathy is felt. The funeral which took place on Tuesday afternoon was largely attended. The Rev. Mr Sandiford and the Rev. Mr Butler spoke very feelingly at the grave. The remains wore interred in the Moorooduc Cemetery. The mortu-ary arrangements were in the hands of Mr Summerland, of Mornington.

***THE weather during the Easter holidays was cold and windy. Except for occasional showers the rain still continues to hold off. Visitors to Dromana per the Ozone, on Good

Friday, had a most unpleasant voy-age. The boat had great diffi culty in getting in to the pier. After several attempts the captain was successful, and was greeted with cheers by the admiring crowd assembled.

***£50 HAS been allotted to the Droma-na Hall from the Government grant to free libraries for building purposes: The Rev E. Rodda was tendered a farewell social in the hall on Saturday evening last. There was a large number present, including repre-sentatives from all denominations. Dr Weld occupied the chair. Songs and recitations were contributed by Miss Kidgell, and Messrs Rankine and Weber. The chairman, on behalf of the residents of Dromana, presented Mr Rodda with a purse of sovereigns, and Miss Katie Townsend, on behalf of the teachers and scholars of St Mark’s Sunday School, presented him with a framed picture. Mr R. Cairns spoke on behalf of the congregation at Rosebud, and Mr Weber expressed regret at the departure of Mr Rodda, on behalf of the Presbyterian Church Mr Rodda, in responding, spoke of the kind hospitality he had received from the members of the congrega-tion during the 11 years he had been their minister. He expressed regret at leaving the district, but as he had arrived at the retiring age and was not in good health, he felt need of a rest. He would always visit his old friends when opportunity offered, and hoped the church would prosper under their new minister, who was a younger man. A coffee supper was served by the ladies, and all joined in singing “Auld Lang Syne.”

By Stuart McCulloughIT’S over. After twenty years of membership, my local video store has shut up shop. I can now remove the card from my wallet, as it’s clear I will never be able to use it again. Stripped of its signage, the shop now sits as an empty shell, denuded of new releases and weeklies. For years, maddening hoards fl ocked to the local video store but it’s gone the way of the Blacksmith. Friday nights will never be the same again.

I have lived in the same area – off and on – for twenty years. Joining the local video store used to be one of the fi rst things you did when you arrived in a new suburb. Having received your bill for having the phone put on, you used it along with your license to become a member. Not that being admitted into such an exclusive realm was something that could be assumed – it required a slack-jawed youngster who delighted in dressing like a homeless person to deem you to be of good character. As if they were qualifi ed. In terms of intensive screening, it was second only to trying to get into a nightclub in Frankston. If you were lucky enough to be judged favorably, it was like being handed the keys to the kingdom.

Video stores had a long life. They survived economic downturns and disasters and even the death of video itself. Videotapes were cumbersome things, cursed by whether preceding renters failed to rewind it. At fi rst, video was divided. You had the choice of ‘VHS’ or ‘Beta’. The latter was more compact and, so we were told, the intelligent choice embraced by the world

A farewell to five weekliesA farewell to five weeklies

at large. It was only natural that we, as a nation, would choose the underdog and make VHS our own. Small sections of shelf were devoted to Betamax until they became extinct. Not that VHS had any time to rest on its laurels.

The laser disc was little short of a miracle. The size of a vinyl record, they were the choice of connoisseurs who valued quality. Like the Betamax before them, they too had their own special area within the shop for just a little while before perishing at the hands of VHS. I like to think there are still hardcore laser disc enthusiasts who, to this day, maintain that the laser disc was vastly superior to the videocassette and that a grave technological injustice has been

done. Having seen off two rivals, the videocassette should have been allowed to rest easy, at least for a little while. But the seeds of its destruction were already sewn. The laser disc was big, clunky and temperamental. But its direct descendent, the Digital Versatile Disc (or DVD), would soon make its bid for the affection of the movie-loving public.

Like the Betamax and laserdisc before it, the DVD started out with just a few shelves in its own corner. But it was soon clear that a shift was taking place as videos evaporated. People who had dedicated their lives to taping their favourite fi lms and carefully editing out the adverts now had crates of cassettes as meaningful as landfi ll. But now DVDs

are themselves redundant, having being replaced by downloadable content. Once, downloading a movie was an act of piracy. Now they can be legally purchased without leaving your couch. How quickly things change.

I must have made thousands of visits starting from when I was a student. Back then, those working there were a special bunch. The people behind the counter had seen pretty much every fi lm in the store and had unshakeable opinions as to their merits or otherwise. The front counter hosted great debates about fi lmmaking. Indeed, many of those who worked at the video store saw themselves as fi lmmakers and believed that being a video clerk was an integral part of their

training instead of something staving off unemployment. Not that they were all so ambitious. Others were there because it was a job that seemingly anyone could do. For years, our local video emporium employed a guy named ‘Satan’ whose real job was playing guitar in a band whose best known song was ‘Beer Sandwich – Hold the Bread’. It was the kind of place that had room for everybody.

For two decades, I prided myself on a near faultless rental record. Only when a housemate took my card without my knowledge and rented PCU Pit Party starring Jeremy Piven was I ever late in returning a video. If this darkest of clouds has any kind of silver lining, it’s that this stain has now been expunged from my record. It’s a pity it took the closure of the store to do it. Without this black mark, I can now re-enter society and open a bank account in my own name, maybe even get a driver’s license. It’s important to see the bright side.

By the time the store closed, the words ‘PCU Pit Party’ meant nothing to those who worked there. The kooks and weirdos had been weeded in favour of students who resembled Home and Away extras. They didn’t have strong opinions about the fi lms you rented. They didn’t have strong opinions about anything. Time overtook the local video store. Instead, you can now have the world at your fi ngertips without having to get off the couch. But where’s the fun in that? For when all’s said and done, it’s important to make the occasional effort. Farewell, video store. And thanks.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntFRANKSTON YCW proved that it is still the team to match in the Peninsula League competition on Saturday after dominating Mt Eliza at Wooralla Drive.

Despite a slow start against the breeze, the Stonecats booted 10.8 to 4.5 after quarter time to run out comfortable 30-point winners.

The Redlegs got within 21 points early in the last quarter when Damien Russo booted a goal, but the visitors steadied through the likes of Tony Lester and Craig Nankervis to enjoy a comfortable win.

Anthony ‘Bundy’ Barry was again superb for the Stonecats. He will be missed on the rare occasion that he gets called up to play VFL footy.

There’s still plenty of speculation surrounding Ash Eames and his future at the Stonecats. The talk is that he is waiting for a promotion in the police force, which is likely to take him back to the country. At this stage though he’s playing and still having an infl uence.

Josh Chapman, Michael Chaplin and Ricky Morris all booted two goals each for the Stonecats.

Sam Wettenhall was the most productive forward for the Redlegs with three goals while Jack Cole and Karl Lombardozzi were outstanding.

Former Melbourne-listed player John Meesan edged out Eames in the ruck, while Rohan Heasley was at his best.

Redlegs coach John Georgiou said he expected his team to take time to get up and going.

“Our list has changed a fair bit over summer. We have some great kids coming up through the juniors, we have been able to get players back to the club like Dunne, Heasley and Booth plus Lombardozzi is like a new recruit. We also picked up guys like Meesan and Whelan,” Georgiou said.

“YCW was a great test to see where we are at. It was great to get them early,” he said.

Langwarrin maintained its position on top of the Peninsula League table after a 32-point win against Pines.

Just 13 points separated the sides at half time and three quarter time before the Kangas booted fi ve goals to two in the last to record a 10.15 (75) to 6.7 (43) win.

Jarryd Amalfi was outstanding for the winners from half back while teenager Blake Harkness was again dominant on the wing and through the middle of the ground. He lacks nothing in the ticker department.

Andrew Withers was cool in a crisis and Steve O’Brien’s penetrating left foot was one of the few exciting things to watch during a scrappy match.

Guy Hendry was brilliant for Pines and probably the best player on the ground, while Jamie Messina stayed calm despite enormous attention from the Kangas.

Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico was uninspired with the win.

“It was a pretty ordinary game of football, very scrappy,” Artico said.

“I was happy that we were able to grind our way through it but it’s certainly not the style that we want to be playing.

“We’ve got to fi nd ways quickly of breaking the shackles if teams want to play highly contested footy.

“I know Nepean League is a lot more free-fl owing and not as contested, however, I think there’s a place for both in Peninsula League,” he said.

Chelsea held off a fast fi nishing Seaford to win a thriller, 11.7 (73) to 10.8 (68).

Playing at Chelsea Reserve, the Seagulls led by 31 points at quarter time, 29 points at the main interval and by 31 points at the fi nal change.

However, the Tigers booted 4.3 to just one behind in the fi nal quarter to win by fi ve points.

Chelsea recruits Matt Smith and Matty Baxter were outstanding for their team while former St Kilda listed player Jayden Attard was also a catalyst in the win.

Matt and Todd Gardiner were also two of the best players on the ground.

Tyson Horton, after a few years in the footy wilderness, booted three for the Tigers while James Quanchi played one of his best games for the club.

Teenager Trae Tohiariki, along with Johnathan Haidon, were among the best players for the Tigers for the second week in succession.

Mornington had to pull out all stops to get over the line against Karingal.

Karingal led the Doggies at quarter time and trailed by just six points at half time.

However, in the second half, the visitors were able to boot six goals to two to win 12.18 (90) to 8.3 (51).

It was an insipid game of football and the Doggies have a lot of work to do if they are going to challenge the top teams in the competition.

However, a highlight of the match was the work rate and class of recruit Danny Nolan through the middle of the ground, while Michael Gay is a man mountain in the ruck and will trouble the best this season.

Emilio Bitters and Aiden Speedy provided all Mornington’s run, while Warwick Miller did some good things.

There is a big whisper doing the rounds that Mornington is struggling with the points system and having to juggle players from week to week.

Karingal was much more competitive this week.

Coach Stephen Coates said it was going to take time to get the team to gel.

“The reality is that almost our entire senior 22 has changed and with this comes patience,” Coates said.

“The fi rst thing is to become competitive and then we worry about winning games of football.

“What we have now are blokes who want to play for the Karingal Football Club. Those who don’t want to be here are no longer here.”

“We’ll continue to improve and that is all I can ask,” he said.

Michael Burke and Luke VanRaay led the way for the Bulls while Tom Wilkinson was good around the footy and Ray Lengyel had a real crack in the ruck.

Of the Noble Park connection, Coates said the recruits were all looking for more game time.

“We wanted young blokes fi rst and foremost who wanted to be given an opportunity to play more regular senior footy. The large majority of them were in and out of the seniors at Noble.

“George Angelopolous was the most experienced of the group we got and has been excellent in the fi rst two rounds, while Sanith Jayasinghe has been doing a job for us down back.”

Stonecats still the yardstickStonecats still the yardstick

By Paulo Kennedy THE Princes Park hoodoo continued for the Frankston Dolphins with a gut-wrenching, after-the-siren defeat to the Blues on Saturday.

Facing a Blues team packed with Carlton talent including Brock McLean, Jeff Garlett, Jarrad Waite and Cameron Wood, the Dolphins fought grimly just to stay in the game in the fi rst half.

Two crucial goals from Zig Alwan allowed Frankston to be within 19 points at the long break, but when the Blues booted the fi rst two majors of the third stanza a blowout was on the cards.

Reminiscent of their last win at Visy Park - over Collingwood in 2008 - the Dolphins charged back from 32 points down with an inspired display, star on-ballers Leigh Kitchin and Shane Hockey taking over around the packs.

Forwards Khan Haretuku and Jarrad Matheson also put the team on their backs as they kicked three-apiece in a surge that left Carlton’s VFL team searching for answers.

The Dolphins kicked fi ve of the last seven games of the third term, and then kept on coming in the fi nal quarter.

When Mike Lourey brilliantly converted a deliberate out-of-bounds free kick the Dolphins led by three points with 26 minutes gone in the fi nal term and a boilover loomed.

But devastatingly, the Blues’ Luke Reynolds slotted through the match-winning goal after the fi nal siren after a free kick to cruel the outstanding Frankston challenge.

The Dolphins return home on Sunday 20 April to face the Casey Scorpions at 2pm.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntRED HILL proved it is well and truly in the mix for a place in the top bracket after beating Sorrento on Saturday.

The Hillmen were super impressive against Somerville in their round one match and backed up the performance against last year’s Nepean league runners-up on the weekend.

The home side opened up a handy 27-point break in the second quarter before Sorrento made the most of the wind advantage in the third and booted four unanswered goals.

Despite the surge, at no stage during the match was Sorrento in front.

The Hillmen steadied in the fi nal quarter and ran-out 12.9 (81) to 9.10 (64).

It was the fi rst time in more than a decade that Red Hill had beaten Sorrento.

Jarryd Douglas backed up his six goals in the fi rst match with another fi ve against Sorrento, while Peter Dal Lago and Luke Adams dominated.

YCW recruit Blake McCormack has made a real impression in his fi rst two matches and Nick Batemen, fresh from Frankston Dolphins, stamped his authority on the contest.

Despite being very happy with his

team’s performance, Red Hill coach Tony Blackford said “there was nothing to get over excited about.”

“There’s no doubt that we got Sorrento at the right time,” Blackford said.

“We played last week and had some match conditioning under our belts and it was Sorrento’s fi rst game.

“A couple of their players didn’t play a single practice match and of course, there’s no Scotty Cameron or Guy Stringer, who make an enormous difference to their side.”

In saying that, Blackford didn’t want to take any credit away from his own team either.

“We have a great bunch of players who want to improve and test themselves. There’s no bigger test than against the best team in the past 10 years.

“We were challenged and we responded, which was great,” Blackford said.

“We all know though that this is a very tight competition and it’s about being able to sustain it over the full season.

“I couldn’t be happier with where we are at right now though. Beating Somerville at Somerville and Sorrento is a great start,” he said.

Rosebud didn’t take very long to get

going, despite not playing last week.Against Hastings on Saturday, the

Buds started with six opening quarter goals and were never threatened from that point on, winning 13.6 (84) to 8.14 (62).

The Blues had their chances in the third quarter but inaccuracy in from of goals (2.2 to 3.6) hurt them.

Greg Bentley was again at the top of his game for the Buds with three goals while Brenton Payne, Rhys Bancroft and Sorrento recruit Daniel Hickey dominated through the middle of the ground.

Daniel Wishart was again at his best for the Blues while Colin McVeigh and Brendan Dunne shone. Justin Berry booted two goals and was amongst his team’s best.

It was a good wake-up call for the Blues.

Frankston Bombers hung on for a great victory over Pearcedale, winning 13.15 (93) to 12.15 (87).

The Panthers led by 23 points at half time, however, the Bombers booted 7.5 to 2.0 in the third quarter with the wind to open up a two goal lead.

Jay Reynolds, fresh from being in the fi nal 22 for Foxtel reality show The Rookie, was best on ground with three goals. He didn’t make the fi nal cut of 12 on Friday night’s show.

Both teams traded goals in the last quarter before the Bombers booted the last of the day to hold on and win.

Duncan Proud was again outstanding for the Bombers while Mitch Bosward, who returned to his home club from Frankston Dolphins, was inspirational.

Chris Fortnam was outstanding for the Panthers while Troy Jacobson, a former Stingray who played juniors with Langwarrin and Somerville, was also very good. Ruckman Ben Mitchell fi nished with three goals.

Dromana suffered no premiership hangover, despite reports of an ordinary pre-season.

The Tigers booted six goals to one with the wind in the opening quarter against RYE and were never threatened thereafter.

Stuart Cleeve dominated in the ruck, Aaron Coyle enjoyed plenty of time on the ground and youngsters Jack Fowler and Aiden Musgrave took advantage of their opportunities.

Then there were the stars Christian Ongarello and Terry Wheeler (three goals) who dominated.

It was an impressive fi rst up win for the Tigers, 13.14 (92) to 9.8 (62).

Aaron Kirkwood and Ben Holmes were Rye’s best, while Andrew Dunn and Sam Smith were good through the middle of the ground.

Crib Point made it two solid wins in as many weeks, smashing Somerville by 58 points, 15.21 (111) to 7.11 (53).

The Eagles can be thankful that the Pies kicked inaccurately, including booting 5.8 in the second quarter and 2.7 in the last.

Jake Bromley was outstanding for the Pies yet again while James Cook and Luke Herrington (three goals) infl uenced the outcome.

In even better news for the Pies, former Eagle Glenn Boyd and Hastings small forward Tim Churchin should both be available after ANZAC day.

As for the Eagles, Justin Farrelly and Rohan Hogenbirk can’t return quick enough.

In the fi nal game of the round, Devon Meadows overwhelmed Tyabb as expected, winning 25.17 (167) to 11.10 (76).

The Panthers booted 13 goals in the fi rst half and 12 in the second, its most consistent performance since coming back into Nepean League.

James Bow booted 12 goals in the win, adding to his four in round one.

Clint Setford was at his best, while Gavin Kerr and Billy Hayes were also on top of their game.

Callum Morris and Ethan Rahilly were the best of the Yabbies.
