THE spotlight has turned to pokies as part of the planned $29 million re-development project which will see the St Kilda Football Club return to Moorabbin.

Anti-pokies campaigner Paul Ben-dat says the Saints should bin the gaming machines at the Linton St venue since taxpayers and ratepayers are pitching in $13 million to the re-development of Moorabbin Reserve.

Kingston Council is contributing $5 million and the state government will kick in $8 million.

“Children and pokie machine gam-bling should not a mix,” Mr Bendat said.

“This is a community facility with kids’ playgrounds and netball courts designed to attract junior footy and we’re putting a poker machine venue … smack dab in the middle of eve-rything.”

“It’s inappropriate - they may say it’s quarantined but the project wouldn’t go ahead without $13 mil-lion of taxpayers’ money.”

Mr Bendat, a “long-suffering” St Kilda FC member, said the team he supports should follow the lead of other AFL clubs who have rid them-selves of electronic gaming machines.

He noted the Western Bulldogs had moved pokies out of its Footscray training base after accepting taxpay-ers’ money to redevelop Whitten Oval.

Geelong Football Club recently de-cided to ditch its pokies completely and North Melbourne FC got rid of its pokies at Etihad Stadium when the state government contributed $8 mil-lion towards a $15 million refurbish-

ment of the football club’s Arden St facilities in 2007.

At the same time the Kangaroos were axing their pokies, St Kilda was embroiled in a stoush with Kingston Council over pokies machines. Coun-cil refused a club request move 83 ma-chines to a new venue at South Rd.

The Saints quit Moorabbin and agreed a multi-million dollar deal with Frankston Council to move its training and administration base to Seaford.

Mr Bendat noted the Linton St ven-ue needs a major facelift but said this should not come at the expense of po-tentially exposing more people to pok-ies at the community football facilities.

“It’s just a rusted, old wasted space. That old stand, which they’re going to demolish and rebuild … is a disgrace. It’s a disgrace to the St Kilda member-ship and it’s a disgrace to the city [but] if you take taxpayers’ money, get rid of the machines.”

Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said council is not funding the gaming area of Moorabbin Reserve redevelop-ment.

“None of our money is going into the St Kilda Social Club so it’s nothing to do with the poker machines area.”

The mayor said council’s contribu-tion means it can have input into the design of the new complex and try to minimise the risk of passers-by be-ing exposed to pokies, located in a li-cenced area, when visiting Moorabbin Reserve.

Cr Gledhill hoped St Kilda could eventually wean itself off a reliance on pokies revenue.

“According to conversations I’ve had with St Kilda, that’s the aim they have and I think most AFL clubs are looking to do that … but you can’t just do it overnight.”

THE fi rst level crossings to be re-moved along the Frankston line have been named by the Labor state gov-ernment.

Contracts were awarded on Tues-day to remove crossings at Centre Rd in Bentleigh, McKinnon Rd in McKinnon and North Rd in Ormond as part of Premier Daniel Andrews’ pre-election pledge to remove 50 of Melbourne’s most congested level crossings across the rail network.

John Holland and the KBR consor-tium will remove the three crossings.

Labor promised to separate 20 road and rail intersections during its fi rst four-year term in government.

Mr Andrews said in a statement that works to remove level crossings will begin shortly.

“Works will start within weeks and in a few years they’ll be gone,” he said.

“These level crossings frustrate motorists, hold back our train system and put lives at risk every day. The only way to fi x them is to get rid of them, and we’re getting on with it.”

Liberal opposition leader Matthew Guy had claimed earlier this month that “Melburnians have been double crossed by Daniel Andrews”.

“There are no guaranteed funds or start dates for level crossing remov-als besides those previously funded by the Coalition,” he said after the 2015-16 budget was announced.

The previous Napthine government

had pledged to remove the North Rd, Ormond level crossing and cross-ings at Blackburn, Glen Iris and St Albans.

Mr Guy had noted “just” $3 million had been allocated to the level cross-ings removal program in the 2015-16 budget but government spokesman Kosta Pandos confi rmed this week “at least $2.4 billion has been al-located for the removal of the fi rst twenty level crossings”.

Labor has now announced 17 of the 20 level crossings to be removed. Bentleigh Labor MP Nick Staikos, who won the seat by just 0.8 per cent at last year’s state election, is the big winner from the confi rmed Frankston line crossings works since the three confi rmed so far are in his electorate.

Eleven level crossings are ear-

marked for removal along the Frankston line but most will not be removed within the next four years.

Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Rich-ardson and Carrum Labor MP Sonya Kilkenny are therefore likely to face voters at the next state election with no works having been done on level crossings in their marginal elector-ates.

The eleven Frankston line cross-ings to be removed are: North Rd (Ormond), Balcombe Rd (Mentone), Centre Rd (Bentleigh), Charman Rd (Cheltenham), Edithvale Rd (Edith-vale), Eel Race Rd (Carrum), Mc-Kinnon Rd (McKinnon), Seaford Rd (Seaford), Skye Rd (Frankston), Sta-tion St (Bonbeach), Station St (Car-rum).

Car sales ‘fraud’ long con

Crossing removals first on the line

AN EDITHVALE car buyer was one of 91 victims of a trickster who alleg-edly wound back the speedos on cars he was selling online.

Police at Mornington yesterday charged the man, 29, of Reservoir, with obtaining fi nancial advantage by deception and acting as an unlicensed motor car trader.

He was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court for a fi ling hearing and is expected to be tried at the Country Court at a later date.

Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas, of Mornington police, will al-lege the man on-sold vehicles to the value of $1 million after buying them at motor car auctions and then re-advertising them through the on-line classifi eds.

Police will allege the man used an easily-obtained speedo resetting de-vice to “wind back the clocks” on the late model cars – with one reset from 240,000 kilometres back to 60,000 kilometres.

The ruse came to light when a Mornington car dealer serviced one of the cars and recognised it as one he had sold previously – when it had many more kilometres on the speedo. He notifi ed the new owner who was, understandably, horrifi ed.

Detective Vallas said police were investigating fraudulent car sales back to 2010 – but they go back even further.

There are also more than 91 vic-tims, but “we had to draw a line somewhere”.

It is claimed the fraudster conned his victims into believing the cars had genuine service books “which he had left home but would post next day”, and had used false dealer stamps on other fake service books.

He said the online classifi ed service had provided valuable information on the fraudulent sales, and that records had been seized from a motor car trader in Reservoir.

“More victims are coming forward following a three-month investiga-tion,” Detective Vallas said.

“They would not have bought the cars if they had known the true speedo readings.

“Unfortunately, they, and the Ed-ithvale tradie, won’t be receiving any recompense – it’s just their bad luck.”

‘EXCRUCIATING’ and ‘debilitat-ing’ are two words used to describe the symptoms of shingles – or herpes zoster virus - which includes a painful rash or blisters on the skin.

With 95 per cent of the adult population at risk of exposure, it’s a sure bet we know many suffering from it.

After an episode of chicken pox, doctors say the virus lies dormant in nerve roots near the spinal cord, but can reactivate at any time causing a shingles infection.

Aspendale gardener Brian Waugh is one who’s living – stoically - with the dreaded virus. He fi rst noticed a small spot on his stomach, then a painful rash down his front, sides and back and a deep pain in his back, in early January. “My wife said it looked like shingles,” he recalled yesterday.

“A week later the rash was worse and I was popping pain killers like you wouldn’t believe. Then, my wife found me in the foetal position on the fl oor and I was taken to the Dandenong Hospital where they treated me for aggressive pain.”

Mr Waugh is still on tablets, and has found working problematic as the pills “take me away with the fairies”; it is dangerous to drive or operate machinery. Luckily, with help from his two adult sons, he has managed to get by so far – although is doing far less now than he would with a clean bill of health.

Living for day shingles symptoms go awayRelaxing at night after using mo-

torised equipment is not easy as the noise and vibration they cause tend to aggravate the symptoms.

“I’ve learned to work smarter not harder as I try to boost my immune system through various natural treatments,” he said. “Now, four months down the track, I am feeling much better although still affected by it.”

The 61 year old said he was “liv-ing for the day when there are no symptoms” of the virus for which there is currently no cure. Antiviral therapy can reduce the severity and duration of shingles, but it does not prevent its development.

Doctors say many patients who receive antiviral therapy “continue to experience persistent pain that can signifi cantly impair their func-tionality and health-related quality of life in the long-term”.

It’s a drawn-out saga. “People say to me, ‘Have you still got that thing?’” he quipped. “And I tell them, ‘Yes and it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to me’.”

Warning others to “look after yourself, learn to relax and take things a little easier” to deter con-tracting the virus, Mr Waugh said: “And, if you do get it, get onto it early – that’s the secret to beating it.”

JAMIE Oliver’s Global Food Revolution Day at Bonbeach Primary School last Fri-day was a big hit as teachers, pupils, mums, dads and grandmas all got on board to make the day a huge success.

Ambassador Maddie Race, of ‘Kids Say Yum’, helped organisers Sharon King, Amy Dowling and Jade Kavanagh prepare for a day of fresh eating and healthy food awareness.

Posters were made, tasty sandwiches cre-ated, salad sprouts grown, hummus made and ingredients collected from the school vegetable patch.

Enthusiastic pupils prepared Oliver’s ‘Smash It Sandwich’ alongside thousands of others from all over Australia. The food guru created the global event to help fi ght child obesity and make healthy eating nutritious – and, hopefully, compulsory - in schools everywhere.

Pupils in every class simultaneously watched the master chef on their classroom white screens as they made a wholegrain roll and fi lled it with fresh food and the smashing of the ingredients with a rolling pin was one of the highlights.

Baker’s Delight in Chelsea provided the buns and bread.

Some compliments by pupils would have warmed their mothers’ hearts: “I didn’t like brown bread but it was fi lled with yummy stuff and now I love it,” Nina, 9, said.

Amy and Jade hope to make healthy eating a permanent part of the school’s menu and, if the results of Fridays Food Revolution Day were anything to go by, this is assured.

The volunteer mums made sure every child had access to fresh, whole food on the day, and those with allergies were catered for. A Pumpkin Drive is being organised to help raise funds for a kitchen classroom to keep the healthy eating momentum going.

Window forcedA JEMMY bar was used to force open the window of a house in Palm Beach Dr, Patterson Lakes, on the evening of Tuesday 12 May. A neighbour initially challenged the offender, in his early 20s, but was satisfi ed of his explanation and did not notify police. The man was wearing a dark coloured hoodie. He ransacked bedrooms after pulling an alarm off the wall in the main bedroom. It is not known what was stolen.

Site theftsTHIEVES stole equipment valued at $1550 from a construction site in Embankment Gr, Chelsea, overnight on Monday 11 May. The haul included two tool boxes, a Milwaukee radio and a ladder.

Watching the actionA NEIGHBOUR saw two men trying to open the front door of a house in Rae Av, Edithvale, on the morning of Tuesday 12 May. Finding it locked, the men went around to the side of the house and forced a window to a bedroom. Once inside they found the key in the kitchen door and opened it. The men searched the house and rifl ed the contents of a jewellery box but it is unclear what was taken. When police arrived the offenders were seen run-ning out the front door while police ran down the side of the house. The police helicopter and other units searched the area but found nothing.

Car break-inTHIEVES used a rock to smash the window of a Holden Commodore in Stayner St, Chelsea, over-night on Thursday. They stole a wallet containing $65 from the centre console.

Robbed, punchedA 15-YEAR-OLD youth was punched in the face when leaving the Harvest Festival at Roy Dore Reserve, Carrum, at 10pm on Saturday 9 May. Two youths described as Caucasian, aged 16/17, and wearing white and black hoodies, stole the victim’s jacket and wallet with $35, and punched him in the face.

Boatyard entryTHREE 16 year olds climbed the fence of a boatyard at Inner Harbour, Patterson Lakes, recently and grabbed fl ares and fi re extinguish-ers valued at $180. When police arrived they ran off, dropping their haul, but were apprehended. The trio were charged with theft, cautioned, and their parents contacted.

Gas goesTHIEVES cut the lock on a wire mesh cage and stole seven gas bottles – fi ve 8.5kg and two 3.7kg – from the Smart Gas outlet in Langslow Rd, Aspendale Gardens, overnight on Sunday. The value of the bottles is $458.

Ship ahoyAN aluminium dinghy and its trailer – which had one wheel missing – was stolen from outside a house in High St, Mordialloc, overnight on Tues-day 12 May. The offenders also stole the hard lid of the owner’s ute. Police said the offenders either brought their own wheel to fi t onto the trailer, or lifted the ‘tinnie’ and trailer onto their own vehicle before driving off.

Door forcedTHE door of a factory in Lakeside Blvd, Braesi-de, was forced on Wednesday 13 May by thieves who stole 47 OEM radios valued at $7000. The owner is doing a stock check to determine if any other property was stolen.

Tools, cash stolenTRADIES’ tools and a wallet valued at $2570 were stolen from a Commodore station wagon parked in a driveway in Rae Av, Edithvale, over-night on Tuesday 12 May. There was no sign of forced entry. The tools were on the backseat and the wallet was in the centre console.

Anyone with information on any of these crimes should contact Moorabbin Police on 9556 6565.

A PLEA by Kingston Council for Planning Minister Richard Wynne to “call in” a controversial bid to ex-tend a licence for a concrete crushing plant in Kingston’s Green Wedge has gone unanswered as yet.

Councillors unanimously opposed an attempt late last year by the Alex Fraser Group to extend a permit for its concrete crushing operations in Clarinda until 2038 (‘Concrete path blocked’, The News 24/12/14).

The existing permit is due to end in 2023 and was granted against coun-cil’s wishes in 2008 by a previous Labor government.

Neighbouring Clarinda residents were furious at the decision.

A spokeswoman for the Planning Minister confi rmed Mr Wynne had received council’s request to call in the application and Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Richardson and Clarinda Labor MP Hong Lim had raised the matter with him.

“A date for the VCAT hearing is yet to be set and the minister is still deciding the most suitable way for this application to be determined,” the spokeswoman said.

Council CEO John Nevins said council had taken part in a VCAT mediation session in April to discuss the application and the mediation was adjourned until August.

“In the event that mediation is un-successful, a hearing has been listed in October,” Mr Nevins said.

Defenders of the South East Green Wedge secretary Barry Ross said the group has also written to the Plan-ning Minister backing council’s re-quest to call in the licence extension application.

“We believe that approval of the extension would undermine the council’s plans to phase out mate-rials recycling, waste transfer and landfi lls from Green Wedge and con-vert the area in open space including the chain of parks,” he said.

“If the Alex Fraser concrete crush-er is allowed to continue to operate until 2038, it would be giving the green light to other similar opera-tions to set up shop and transform the area in to a waste hub.”

Kingston Council has made a for-mal request to the Planning Minister to rezone green wedge land north of Kingston and Heatherton roads, at risk from the introduction of more recycling facilities, from Special Use Zone to Green Wedge A Zone land.

State government agency Sustain-ability Victoria has previously ad-vised council that the Clayton-Ding-ley area has been identifi ed as one of several possible locations for a waste hub for Melbourne due to its “access to transport networks”.

Continued from Page 1St Kilda Football Club spokesman

Luke Holmesby said “no taxpayers’ dollars are being spent on pokies ma-chines in the Moorabbin redevelop-ment”.

“Ratepayers’ dollars are being in-vested in much needed community facilities. Refurbishment of the Saints Social Club is solely and completely the responsibility of the St Kilda Football Club.”

Mr Holmesby said the Saints “spent more than 40 per cent of its gaming revenue on Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation de-fi ned community benefi ts” against a legislated 8.33 per cent requirement.

This amounted to about $813,350 in 2013-14 with 83 gaming machines at Linton St raking in $2,177,115 for the

Saints during the same period.A breakdown of the $813,350 in

“community benefi ts” listed on the VCGLR’s website shows most of the money was used for St Kilda FC operating costs, staff wages and the sponsorship of Sandringham Football Club.

“They claim most of their outgoings as ‘a community benefi t’ but … exter-nal donations in cash to the commu-nity is about $27,000 – not much. It’s about the loss on one machine for one year,” Mr Bendat said.

The anti-pokies campaigner has ploughed a personal fortune into publicly lobbying political parties to toughen up gaming regulations.

The Labor state government says no taxpayers’ money will be spent on the entertainment venue part of the $29

million Moorabbin Reserve redevel-opment.

Government spokesman Patrick Land said “$150,000 announced in the 2015-16 Victorian Budget is for planning works to ensure this com-munity project delivers outstanding results for the Saints and the Kingston community.

“Part of that planning process is ensuring there is a clear separation between the gaming venue, the com-munity space and the Saints facility.”

Cr Gledhill said council will consult Mr Bendat on the new football com-plex’s design “to mitigate what he sees as threats”.

“People like Paul Bendat don’t come along every day. We take what Paul says very seriously. He is pas-sionate.”

Mr Bendat fears losses per machine at Moorabbin Reserve will rise if the gaming area remains as a part of the redevelopment.

“What they’re going to do is im-prove the access exponentially so that more people lose money on their pok-er machines in the City of Kingston,” he said.

“I think the mayor’s heart is in the right place but he also wants to see this eyesore used for the benefi t of the community.”

“They [council and state govern-ment] should be harder with the St Kilda Football Club.

“It’s just lazy, lazy work by the St Kilda Football Club because they’ve got all this taxpayers’ money. Make them work for it.”

Anzacs photos on display in MayMENTONE Girls’ Secondary Col-lege and the Mordialloc and District Historical Society have collaborated to showcase 25 photographs from World War I. These photos display the remarkable images of soldier Carl Janssen, taken when the Anzacs were training in Egypt.

Until now, the photographs have only ever been stored in the Victo-rian State Library. Now they will be on display, organised by the students

at Mentone Girls’ Secondary Col-lege at the museum. This exhibition marks the fi rst time these photo-graphs have been publicly exhibited.

Along with the photos, a number of Year 9 students at MGSC have researched a specifi c Anzac solider from the Kingston area and cre-ated a series of video presentations, exhibiting the stories of these local heroes.

This exhibition is not one to miss.

To see these incredible historical photographs and excellent visual presentations made by the young historians at MGSC, head down to The Laura and Charles Fergu-son Museum at Old Bakery Lane, Mentone (just behind La Porchetta, beside the Coles carpark).

The exhibition will be showing for the following two weeks only on Sundays, 2pm-4pm.

Our hearing is an important part of everyday living and now Chelsea has its own hearing clinic with the recent opening of Chelsea Hearing.

Opening the clinic in April, audiologist and owner, Cathryn Williams saw the need for a permanent clinic after living in the area for many years.

“I have worked as an audiologist for 12 years and have extensive experience teaching Melbourne University students and as a practicing audiologist,” says Cathryn, who had noticed that there wasn’t a full time clinic in the area.

“Children over three years can have their hearing checked and it’s important to have this done if there’s any issues with speech and language. It is also more common during winter for children to have their hearing tested as it’s this time of year children can have a problem with their hearing,” says Cathryn.

Of course, Chelsea Hearing also specializes in hearing tests for adults, particularly those over 65, when it is more common to notice hearing issues.

“Hearing loss as we age is a lot more common and people on a pension can get the hearing test and any

hearing aids subsidized. I can help them out with all of those services,” says Cathryn, who explains that adults should have a hearing test every two to three years.

Cathryn says no matter what your age, if you are noticing any problems with your hearing or ringing in your ears, you must have it checked.

“If people would rather not phone because of hearing issues, please feel free to come into the clinic to make your appointment as well,” says Cathryn.

If you require hearing aids these will be chosen based on your needs and preferences for the type of hearing aid, size and cost. As an independent clinic, Chelsea Hearing can t all of the best brands.

“We also do ear plugs which are needed for swimming, and musicians ear plugs that are custom made or we have a large range over the counter, starting at $20. We stock a range of hearing aid batteries too,” says Cathryn.

Chelsea Hearing is at Suite 3, 8 The Strand, Chelsea.

The sounds of a wrecker’s machinery will provide a backdrop to sighs of relief and the popping of champagne corks when demolition of the for-mer Ambassador Hotel begins next month.

Owner Joanna Kordos plans to re-place the 40-year-old building at the northern Nepean Highway entrance to Frankston with a four-storey apart-ment block (‘Ambassador faces axe’, The News 1/4/15).

She plans a champagne breakfast to celebrate the start of work to replace the building that has been inhabited by squatters, linked to drug deals and the target of vandals with apartments “more luxurious than anything avail-able now in Frankston”.

Prices for the 37 upmarket apart-ments will range from $309,000 to $695,000.

Ms Kordos bought the building with architect’s plans and has secured a one-year extension on her building permit from Frankston Council.

“Squatters come and go, but they won’t be a problem once it’s demol-ished,” she said.

Talks being held with the body cor-porate of units sitting closely behind the Ambassador could see Ms Kordos contributing towards an “overhaul and upgrade” of the outdoors section of that property.

Such as change would help increase the value of the units “and lift up the neighbourhood”.

“Just knocking the Ambassador down will mean there will be differ-ent tenants in those units.”

The owner of a recently fi nished “model” boarding house at Noble Park – with plans for up to 10 more – Ms Kordos said her “passion” was now focussed on developing the lux-ury apartments on the Ambassador site.

“We’ll start demolition in about

three weeks with a champagne break-fast,” she said last Thursday.

“Half of Melbourne has had some sort of stay at the Ambassador over the past 40 years. It’s quite a nostal-gic place for some – there’s always a story to tell.”

Ms Kordos said she knew the origi-nal owners and had bought the prop-erty along with plans for the redevel-opment.

Nine of the 37 apartments will be single bedroom, 24 will have two bedrooms and four three bedrooms.

There will be 51 car parking spaces, including nine for visitors and one disabled.

The two apartments at ground level will be 108 and 111 square metres with 30 square metre courtyards. The apartments on the other fl oors will have terraces and balconies.

The apartment block will have so-lar power, two elevators, a marble-fi nished foyer and a large blue glass mosaic on the front exterior.

Ms Kordos, an artist, plans to auc-tion one of her mosaics on opening day with proceeds going to charity.

“Aesthetics are important to me. I am creating something for the long term, something that doesn’t age af-ter fi ve years.”

THE future of the Port of Hastings Development Authority is in doubt following the failure of the state gov-ernment to refi nance its operations in last week’s budget.

Hastings MP Neale Burgess has accused the government of “siphon-ing off” $80 million that should have gone to the authority’s operations.

He said the “disturbing and cynical move” was a “further betrayal” from the Labor government which had pro-vided no new funding for the area.

“Just fi ve months ago the Port of Hastings was building a real future for our community, already provid-ing more than 100 jobs and prepar-ing to provide thousands more over the coming years,” Mr Burgess said. “Now the Port of Hastings Develop-ment Authority is just a shell, with the majority of the jobs gone and with Labor delivering the fi nal blow this week by clawing back the remaining $80m of the project’s funding.

“This disgraceful decision is a ma-jor blow for jobs, businesses and the economy in the Western Port area and the south east region.”

Keith [email protected]

Budget’s $80m blow to port

Tied up: Tugs operating out of Stony Point are being required less and less with the dimnishing the number of large ships using the Port of Hastings. Picture: Keith Platt

Neither the Ports Minister Luke Donnellan or the Port of Hastings De-velopment Authority answered ques-tions emailed by The News.

On Monday morning the authority said it had forwarded the questions to the government. Within 90 minutes it sent another email: “The Port of Hastings Development Authority has

received funding in the budget to con-tinue to manage the day-to-day opera-tions of the port and to facilitate bulk opportunities.”

The previous Liberal-led coalition established the authority in January 2012 to plan for a new international container port.

The authority is responsible for

managing existing trade at the Port of Hastings through an agreement with Patrick Ports Hastings, although the number of ships visiting the port has dropped in the past few years.

The authority’s website says round 100-150 vessels are recorded at the port each year, ranging in size up to 100,000 tonnes.

However, the reality is that the port has seen a decline in visits by big ships from about 200 in 2010-2011 to an expected 50 this year.

The authority also has “principles” which include caring for the environ-ment and partnering with the com-munity.

These principles could go part way to explaining why between eight and 11 of the authority’s staff, includ-ing its CEP Mike Lean (on at least one day), were available last to plant mangroves in mudfl ats near Lang Lang. On Monday fi ve of the author-ity’s staff were helping on mudfl ats near Grantville.

“In a one line budget entry the An-drews government siphoned off the remaining $80m from our port,” Mr Burgess said.

“Even though they said they were going to take independent advice

on where to build our state’s second container port from Infrastructure Victoria and go ahead with it within 12 months of taking government - now just six months away - in this budget they’ve cynically clawed back the PoHDA money and stopped the work that even the greenest groups thought was of the highest quality and vital.

“As the budget surplus is only built on the [abandoned] Common-wealth EWL [East West Link] fund-ing, clearly the $80 million that be-longs to this community has gone elsewhere; maybe even to pay not to build a badly needed road.”

Mr Burgess said the Labor govern-ment’s attitude towards the Hastings area was in stark contrast towards the “hundreds of millions of dol-lars were poured into badly needed upgrades to local infrastructure and services”.

This spending had included $110m for port development; $16.3m for a new Somerville police station; $4m for a Somerville technical college; $900,000 for the Hastings jetty; and $81m for Frankston Hospital.

WORLD War II survivor Keith Ste-vens once remarked that he did not get too upset when things went wrong in business, or life, because of the situ-ation he found himself in after being shot down during a night bombing raid over France.

“I always look back to the time when I was shot down and was sitting under a tree in a foreign country – an enemy occupied country – and I didn’t know the language, and I had nothing to eat. I look back at that and think nothing could get as bad as that. Life could never get as bad as that, so it’s the only way to have a happy life.”

Mr Stevens, whose remarkable war record was recounted in ‘A new hon-our for Bomber Command veteran’ (The Times 21/4/15), died on Anzac Day.

His funeral at Rosebud on 6 May was attended by many of the staff and residents of the Village Glen, where he and his wife Anita had lived since 1988. The service refl ected the fondness Mr Stevens had formed for France and its people during those dark months in 1944: a bottle of French champagne sat on the coffi n and songs by Edith Piaf were played over the sound system.

Late in 2014 the French president awarded him the highest level of chevalier (or knight) of the French Legion of Honour for “… risking your life for the liberation of our country 70 years ago”.

The presentation, delayed when he was hospitalised by a fall, took place on Thursday 16 April when the Honorary Consul-General of France

in Melbourne went to the Ti Tree aged care centre in Rosebud.

The article featuring Mr Stevens DFM in the special Anzac Day edi-tions of the Mornington Peninsula News Group papers reported that he joined the RAAF in 1940, trained as a wireless operator and rear gunner and subsequently fl ew 62 operations in a Lancaster with Bomber Command before being shot down over occupied France.

Once on the ground, he worked with, and was hidden by, the French Resistance movement before escaping back to England.

Of all the stories which have ap-peared in our newspapers over the past decade, this one has prompted the greatest response from our readers.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Train service to remain the sameTrain service to remain the sameCompiled by Melissa WalshTHE secretary of the Frankston Foot-ball Club acknowledges with thanks a donation of £1 1s from Mr Booth.

***MR S. S. Price, dentist, of Mel-bourne, wishes it known that he will attend at Garroods’ Hotel, Frankston, this week-end, for the convenience of those who may wish to consult him.

***THREE of Miss O. Sherlock’s pupils were successful in the musical examinations for May, held by the Musical Society of Victoria. Among the names of the students who have passed are: Honors in piano, Pass in Theory, Willmott Croskell. Pass in Piano, Dorothea Thornell, and Flor-ence Vines.

***THE married ladies of the Frankston Methodist Church have proved their ability to run a social evening. Judg-ing from the fi nished style which was everywhere in evidence on Friday night last, it was not the fi rst social they have had a hand in.

On account of not having advertised long enough, the attendance was not as large as it otherwise would have been, but the sum of £1 17s was taken for the Church Organ Fund, for which object the effort was made.

A new organ for the church was urgently needed, and since being installed has made things much pleasanter for everybody concerned, and to pay for it the church people have decided to hold socials now and again, to raise funds.

Sixpence was all that was asked for

admission, and included a splendid programme of songs and recitations, and a fi rst class supper.

Mrs Jackson presided, and before closing the entertainment, called upon Mr Corlett to move a vote of thanks, as there was not a married lady pres-ent who had not helped, in some way, to make the evening a success.

Mr Jackson seconded the mo-tion, and thanked all who had contributed towards the evening’s enjoyment, including Mrs Malcom, Mrs M’Cormack, Mrs Lawrey, Mrs Thompson, and Miss Sherlock.

The married men have volunteered to see the next social through, and it has been fi xed for some time next month, when it is to be hoped their efforts will be crowned with success.

***A MEETING of the members of the Frankston Patriotic Committee was held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening, Dr Maxwell in the chair.

The meeting was poorly attended, owing to the inclement weather.

On the minutes of last meeting being confi rmed, Dr Plowman (hon treasurer) read a statement of the state of the fi nances which showed that after the last meeting there was a balance in hand of £1 3s 8d, since then there has been collected £80 5s 2d, making a total in hand of £81 8s 10d.

Dr Plowman said that all the amounts received had been acknowl-edged through the ‘Standard,’ but he had received 10s from a gentleman at the train one morning just as it

was leaving, and when he came to enter it he had forgotten the donor’s name so he had entered it as ‘Un-known.’

The only expenses incurred was 25s for postage and printing. He suggested that £50 be forwarded to the Belgian Fund out of the money in hand.

The chairman said that it was for the meeting to decide how much would be sent. He thought the whole of the £80 was earmarked for that fund.

Captain Sherlock suggested that £60 be sent, and moved to that ef-fect. Se- conded by Mrs Deane, and carried, Captain Sherlock, on behalf of the ladies’ committee said they were still pegging away, and though might not be able to send in as much as they did before, they would for-ward what they could to the treasurer of the fund.

Mr C. P. Watson, on behalf of Master Bachelor Garrood (3 years old) handed in £4, contents of his money box, to be given to the Bel-gian Fund. Dr Plowman here stated that he had received up to date for the fund the handsome sum of £242 7s 3d.

Hearty votes of thanks were passed to the following for their efforts in raising funds :Mrs Lewis, Miss Trenoweth, Mrs Dial, Langwarrin Tennis Club, Ladies Collecting Com-mittee, and Master B. Garrood.

A meeting of the Presentation Com- mittee was held immediately after the above meeting, when the treasurer (Dr Plowman) reported that

after the last lot of watches and med-als had been paid for and all other expenses met, there was a balance in hand of £7 2s 2d.

The proceeds of the last concert amounted to £11 10s 2d. It was resolved, on the motion of Cr Oates, seconded by Mr Young, that the presentation of souvenirs to several other of the residents who had en-listed from this district be held over till the next public presentation.

***THE tender of Messrs Watt and Ma-thierson, Sorrento, of £352 15s 9d has been accepted, for repairs to jetty and approaches, at Portsea.

***OWING to the rain on Monday evening the entertainment to have been given by “Linco” the Master Magician, in the Frankston Hall, was postponed till this (Saturday) evening, when it is to be hoped the weather will prove more favorable, as we understand the entertainment is well worth seeing, and has only to be seen to be appreciated.

***NEXT Monday (Empire Day) the children at the Frankston school will be entertained in the school grounds in the afternoon and in the evening an up-to-date picture show will be given by Mr Alex Gunn, of Melbourne,in the hall, to which they will be admit-ted for the small sum of one penny, adults being charged 6d. any surplus to go towards the Belgian fund. The doors will be opened at 7 o’clock and pictures show at 7 30 sharp.

MR Frank Church, one of the best known and respected residents of the Langwarrin district, passed away peacefully, at the Alfred Hospital, on Saturday evening last, May 15th.

Deceased, who was 47 years of age, had resided in this district for the last 30 years, and by his thorough integrity and fi ne genuine character, had earned the respect of the whole community, and much regret is felt by all who knew him at his death, at so early an age.

***THE train service on the Mornington and Stony Point line is, the Railway Commissioners told a deputation from the Federated Progress Associa-tions of Mornington Peninsula on Tuesday, considered to be ample for present requirements.

They explained that they could not run the morning train to Melbourne and the evening train from Melbourne express north of Frankston, because this would necessitate additional trains, which present conditions by no means justifi ed.

With the advent of electrifi cation they hoped to be able to arrange through runs over longer distances than at present. They were consider-ing a request made some time ago for an additional train about midday between Frankston and Mornington.

They promised to send an offi cer of the department to the district to in-quire into the suggestion to establish a fl ag station between Crib Point and Bittern.From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 May, 1915

By Stuart McCulloughWHAT a wasted opportunity. Naming a child after its grandparents and great grandmother can’t help but feel like a massive compromise; one where the potential for something truly, mind-blowingly awesome was squandered. Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. I suppose, as far as names go, they’re all right. But they’re hardly going to set the world on fi re, are they? How about something a little more memora-ble? Like Dakota, Madison, Blaze or Lolita. Honestly, it’s as though the Duke and Duchess have never been to Moe. The least they could have done is throw in a random ‘z’ or silent ‘ph’ somewhere. Just to make things inter-esting.

I get it – they’re aiming for some-thing along more traditional lines. That’s fi ne, but it’s still no excuse for being boring. Too much monarchy and not nearly enough anarchy for my lik-ing. But there are still great traditional options available if you’re willing to go a little further back in time. Bath-sheba for example, is as traditional a royal name as you’re ever going to fi nd. So too is Jezebel.

Granted, there’s a long queue for the throne and (barring some Wester-os-style hi-jinks) her chances of ever becoming Queen are slim at best, but there are plenty of splendid names for Princesses there for the taking. You can’t tell me that the world wouldn’t loved another Princess Buttercup, es-pecially since the fi rst one was fi ction-al and has since married the President.

Princesses Fiona and Bubblegum are both wonderful role models, notwith-standing that they’re both cartoons. Or, if you prefer your princesses real, Princess Leia would have made a lot of nerds very, very happy. Or, if you really want to bring the multitudes with you, surely Xena would have been an inspired selection.

But no dice. In fact, as I understand it, Beyonce wasn’t even on the short-

list. That’s a snub, if ever there was. Good luck convincing Jay-Z to per-form at the christening. It was, so we were told, a very special day for our country. I beg to differ. If it were an event of any real signifi cance, chances are the child would have been given a traditional Australian name. Like Ber-yl or Shazzamataz. Maybe even Edna. I once knew a girl called Debbie who was an amateur magician and traded

under the name ‘Abracadebra’. Hon-estly, what’s the point of being part of the British Empire if they’re not going to throw us the occasional bone in the baby-naming department?

The fault, clearly, lies with the par-ents. They ought to be the last peo-ple allowed to name their own child. You’d have thought that after the debacle that was ‘George Alexander Louis’, their families would have in-tervened. Even the mere fact of three names rather than the regular two is grounds enough for a check-up from the authorities. These kinds of impor-tant decisions should not be left to two people who, frankly, are probably a lit-tle emotional. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that this is the kind of situation that SMS phone polls were invented for.

Now that child number two is here, I’m beginning to suspect they’re not giving my suggestions even the slight-est consideration. I’ll admit I was a lit-tle crushed when, presumably because they both like Seinfeld but ‘Kramer’ was a little too out there; they named their fi rst-born ‘George’. I still main-tain that ‘Vincent’ was a great sug-gestion. Traditional, but not too obvi-ous. Besides, having a ‘Prince Vince’ would have been great for everyone concerned. Or, if wanting something a little more low key, they could have avoided giving the young prince a name at all and just identifi ed him with a symbol.

It has to be said the response to the entire blessed event has been kind of

absurd. To be honest, I’m not sure why anyone’s fussed. I mean, good luck to them, and all, but it does seem as though the reaction slightly outweighs the signifi cance of the occasion. Chances are, more column inches will be expended in this country on the fact that George now has a little sister than were needed to cover the entire Brit-ish election. There’s a whole range of magazines that have gone absolutely, stone-cold berserk. Perspective, peo-ple; that’s all I’m saying. Sometimes I wonder if our unwillingness to sever the fi nal, fragile cords to the Mother Country is based on an irrational fear that it will adversely impact the women’s magazine market. That’s not an especially sound basis on which to make your constitutional arrange-ments, but there you have it.

Now that I think about it, we don’t have to put up with this kind of non-sense. We, the people, have a right to choose the names of those who will lord over us in a kind of feudal hango-ver that makes North Korea look pro-gressive. The revolt starts here. Strap yourself to your device of choice and make your feelings known as loudly as possible. With one, united voice, let us declare and almighty, ‘thanks, but no thanks’ to Princess Charlotte and a hearty ‘congratulations and welcome to the world’ for the latest addition to the right-Royal brood, Princess Muf-fi n-Fingers Supreme. Long may she reign.

Volunteer driv-ers. They arrive on time, wait for the duration of the appointment and return the client to doorstep. Call 5986 5255.

***The Rye CCTV saga is already a decade long. Why is the council not coming good, similar to the partner-ship with the state government for Hastings CCTV, albeit after a 2 year wait in dealing with United Energy? Mind you, anyone who has had deal-ings with United Energy will know it’s easier to deal with Indonesia.

THE “I’m sorry” 2015 budget, delivered by Doctor Jekyll (Joe Hockey) after banishing his alter ego Mr Hyde in favour of a Liberal re-election. Money slashed from the arts (who cares?) and overseas aid; again who cares? My pension stays fi rm, but it was never going to change before 2017 and let’s be honest, cost increases for prescrip-tions and the like will reduce its value anyway.

***The Libs have always trumpeted the “better for small businesses” mantra without evidence of this fallacy, or more accurately being no better or worse than Labor, so it’s nice to see the supposed proof in the pudding. Not sure if it will give them extra votes. In all my years I rarely came across a small business owner who voted Labor, more a case of looking after their own. I recall many a dis-cussion as a lad with small business owners on their perceived advan-tages with the Liberals, eventually abandoning the cause to save my voice.

***There are many things we can blame Billy Shorten for if inclined: sucking up to anything pro-USA, seconding Tony’s new security laws, conveniently ignoring those poor lost souls in detention facilities (Pa-cifi c Solution?) never forgetting the certainty that Billy, if ever elected PM, would retain negative gearing, family trusts and superannuation concessions. However, it’s surely time for Tony Abbott to say some-thing, anything, without the Labor blame tail at the end? Prediction, assuming Abbott vs Shorten: Tonto Tony WILL win the next election.

***Aside from former foreign minister

Alexander Downer’s holier than thou puffed up (ruling class) pro-nouncements on Schapelle Corby and the Bali 9 back in 2006 and the inexcusable actions of our Austral-ian Federal Police in dobbing rather than arresting them in Australia, I’ve ignored it all. Another long sad story inviting thousands of opinions here and in Indonesia. An opportu-nity for politicians to say what they think will have popular appeal, to be in the news, in our faces. A big difference between Downer back then and our present Foreign Minis-ter Julie Bishop, but who can really tell? Political nonsense, hypocrisy reigns. I prefer a good detective movie. We get some answers and they catch the guilty scoundrel. Reading between the lines is one thing; reading between thousands, mostly half-truths at best, is impen-etrable.

***The Chinese government is crack-ing down on the practice of hiring strippers to perform at funerals, commonly hired to attract more mourners and bring good fortune to the deceased person in the afterlife; at some of $415 per event. Appar-ently people are dying to see them. Strippers (and pole dancers) have always been a mystery to me. I’ve seen them on television obviously, but why would customers give them money? Silly old/young men. As-suming an afterlife it may be worth a look-see; better still audition the strippers before God steps in?

***When King Ferdinand of Aragon sent colonies of immigrants to the Indies in the 16th century he made the wise stipulation that no one should be included who had studied jurisprudence, lest lawsuits should

pollute the New World. He judged (with Plato) to furnish a country with lawyers and doctors is a bad action. Nowadays those gentlemen would include psychologists surely?

***Why is publisher Anne Summers forever carrying on about the Church disallowing females into leading roles in the world’s major religions? Something about keep-ing women in their place? Maybe in some countries, but not in my world. No mention of the infl u-ence of females in our television industry and particularly the ABC, nor of the female situation in the Uniting Church. I have no objection to a female becoming a Pope or in any other position of consequence. The result would be no different than male domination. More ladies toilets, perhaps.

***Following on, we have this seem-ingly urgent involvement of a Sex Discrimination Commissioner in sport, particularly AFL and NRL? “Gender asbestos”, as in male domi-nation being good for nobody and (I gather) excluding women from high levels of sport? A change for the better, an impact across society, the potential to create change in the nation, meaningful change, change the dynamics. Nobody denies the success of the Australian women’s cricket team, netball, basketball, cycling, never forgetting tennis and swimming, but these fi ne words coming from our Commissioner (Elizabeth Broderick) are surely way over the top. We wait and watch her AFL “men on board” as in Matt Finnis at St Kilda, David Matthews at GWS, Gary Pert at Collingwood and Brendon Gale at

ALL THAT JAZZ!Mornington Winter Jazz Festival is Almost Here

JAZZ PARTY A GRAND EVENT

Hitting centre stage at The Grand Hotel this Winter Jazz Festival is Melbourne band Jazz Party. Made for the bar room not the ballroom, Jazz Party is a loose collective of jazzbos with a reputation for their sporadic take-over residences in unassuming rooms across Melbourne.

Known as the coolest, most elusive members of Melbourne’s jazz elite, they are usually found in dark, smoky rooms around town, late at night, giving impromptu performances for those lucky enough to be hanging around when they decided to play. Until now...

Think The Night Cat meets Main Street Mornington as Jazz Party take over the upstairs of The Grand Hotel converting all who enter into swinging, styling, jazz hooligans.

Thrilling audiences with a spontaneous organic celebration of New Orleans style music, the musicians and singers invite the audience to dance around them creating an exciting party vibe like the smoky bars of 1950’s downtown USA.

The band comprises of some of Melbourne’s hottest young jazz cats playing a slippery mix of jump blues, honkey tonk boogie and rhythm ‘n’ blues á la New Orleans. No shhh-ing, awkward table settings or polite clapping allowed, we invite all kinds of crazy to come and dance while the Jazz Party get rowdy.

Featuring a special visit from the one and only George WashingMachine in Feel The Manouche who will get the night rolling from 8.30pm, this party is one to get off the couch for!

Jazz Party will be slinking into the Grand Hotel Mornington on Friday 5th June this Queens Birthday Long Weekend as part of the Mornington Winter Jazz Festival. Doors open at 8pm for an 8.30pm show, tickets, $15, are available online at www.morningtonjazz.com.au or on the door.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntPINES continued its slide down the Peninsula Division ladder after copping a hiding at the hands of Frankston YCW on Saturday.

The Pythons started the year in superb fashion and won its opening four games of the season, however, it is starting to realise that the power-houses of the competition have a little more to offer.

Mornington was able to touch the Pythons up last week and it was Frankston YCW’s turn to give them a bit of stick on Saturday.

Coming off a loss against Langwarrin the pre-vious week, the Stonecats again started slowly in their match against Pines.

The Stonecats trailed at quarter time before kicking seven goals to one behind in the second quarter to open up a commanding 38 point lead.

The second half saw the visitors kick seven goals to four to record a 16.21 (117) to 8.7 (55) victory.

Anthony Bruhn booted six goals for the win-ners to give him 24 for the season, while Dave Bodley took his season tally to 18 with four ma-jors.

Kevin Lylak in his second game back was again one of the Stonecats’ best while Paul Minching-ton played his best game for his new club.

Guy Hendry was outstanding for the Pythons with four goals and his brother Beau was also at the top of his game.

It was hard to fi nd many other good performers across the match though, although Paul McLean-Wilson tried hard.

Despite two heavy losses in a row, Pines still sit in third position on the ladder.

Mornington maintains its position in sec-ond place on the table after a solid 23 point win against Edithvale-Aspendale.

What we are seeing at the moment is that there are two sides (Mt Eliza and Mornington) fl exing their muscles against those sides that we believe are good enough for the fi nals but not ready to challenge for the title.

The Dogs laid the foundation for the win with a fi ve goal to one fi rst quarter.

To Edithvale’s credit, they rallied and were able to restrict the home side’s onslaught and keep them to six goals apiece after the fi rst change.

Emilio Bitters and Michael Gay in the ruck were outstanding for Mornington while Steve Mannix and Matt Clark shared the top votes for the Eagles.

Edithvale coach Graeme Yates said that his club was going through a transition phase and that consistency would be the biggest challenge this season.

“We lost a lot of players in the off season and while we have the nucleus, we have a lot of young boys who are trying the fi nd their way,” Yates said.

“We are a young side learning but I think we are very capable of playing fi nals and that’s the aim.”

Langwarrin picked up where it left off last week against Frankston YCW and booted eight goals to one in the opening quarter to blow Sea-ford away by almost ten goals.

The Tigers were able to boot 13 goals to Lang-warrin’s 15 after the fi rst change but the damage was well and truly done at that point, going down 23.12 (150) to 14.9 (93).

Gerard Brown continued his outstanding sea-son for the Kangas with fi ve goals to have 18 for the year while Matt Naughton kicked four rest-ing forward. Naughton has been rewarded for his season with an interleague call up.

However, it was a couple of recruits who stamped their mark on the club. Dale Binks, for-merly of Tyabb, was outstanding for the winners, as was former Yabbies’ skipper Ethan Rahilly. Travis Baldock was fantastic too for the winners after crossing from Chelsea Heights.

Ricki Johnston is in career best form, which is why he is in the leadership group of the inter-league side.

Rourke Fischer, fresh from playing at Colling-wood in the VFL last week, was again Seaford’s best player, while Chris Fortnam and Luke Smith also worked hard.

Mt Eliza didn’t get things all their own way against Chelsea, winning 15.11 (101) to 11.6 (72).

The margin was 29 points in favour of the Red-legs at quarter time but the Gulls were able to boot nine goals to eight after quarter time.

Justin Van Unen booted four for the winners and Dave Willett and Scott Lockwood fi nished with three each, Darren Booth and Ben Landry were outstanding across four quarters.

Hudson Thomas snagged four for the Seagulls while Jason Clark, Todd Gardiner, Alex Smout and Jayden Attard were among the best players on the ground.

The Gulls went into the game without coach Brent Guerra, who is suffering from a hand in-jury.

Bonbeach won its third match of the season, beating Karingal 19.18 (132) to 9.6 (60).

Chris Bryan and James Maxwell booted three each for the Sharks while another ten players kicked goals.

Blake Simpson kicked four for the Bulls and was clearly among his team’s best, while Aaron Lees was also superb once again.

INTERLEAGUEBy Toe PuntFORMER Richmond, North Mel-bourne and West Coast Eagles forward Aaron Edwards has cut short his Bali holiday so that he can represent his league at the country championships this weekend.

Edwards had organised to go to Bali for a week, leaving last Sun-day straight after the game against Frankston YCW, return on Saturday morning to play against Ovens and Murray.

However, upon hearing that the

team was travelling together by bus to Albury on Friday, Edwards rearranged his fl ights to ensure that he could join the team on the bus.

Peninsula Division chairman of se-lectors, John Hynes, who played at Carlton, captained Frankston Dolphins and coached Edithvale-Aspendale, said Edwards’ commitment typifi ed the dedication of the group in 2015.

“The reality is that we were embar-rassed by Geelong FL last season and we all learned lessons from that, from the top at league level right through to the players,” Hynes said.

“We have picked a large squad and

the commitment level of them cannot be faltered.

“A leadership group pretty much picked itself and they have driven the culture among the group – Aaron (Ed-wards) is one of those, along with the likes of Ricki Johnston and Warwick Miller.

“The reality is that Peninsula Divi-sion is in the best three leagues in the state. If we lose this match, we drop to fi ve or six, which isn’t good for us.

“The players are committed to the cause and we will pick the absolutly strongest team we can.

“The likes of Lachy Wallace and

Rourke Fischer (Collingwood VFL) are both right to go and we have some Frankston Dolphins who have fi ltered back.

“Unfortunately we don’t have the likes of Ash Eames, Jimmy Messina and Anthony Barry (all injured) and Michael Gay (family holiday) but you can be assured we’ll be the best pos-sible team.

“That hasn’t always been the case in the past few years, despite the fact we have recorded some good results,” Hynes said.

Nepean Division coach Ben Holmes said he too was excited about the com-

mitment level of his charges.“We picked a squad of around 70

and we have had 40-plus on the track every training session. That doesn’t include the guys who don’t train be-cause they are a bit sore but come to training anyway,” Holmes said.

“The commitment level is fantas-tic this year and I think the players, coaches and clubs need to take the credit.

“We’re all looking forward to im-proving our ranking and breaking into that top 10,” Holmes said.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntHASTINGS dropped from second place on the Nepean Division leader to fourth after being overrun by Somer-ville on Saturday.

It was the fi rst loss of the season for the Blues and once again highlighted how close the top teams of the com-petition were.

After trailing by 14 points and be-ing kept goalless in the opening term, the home side hit back in the second and led by seven points at the main interval.

Luke Clark, who fi nished the af-ternoon with fi ve majors, started to get his hands on it in attack and Josh Mulheron began to get on top in the middle of the ground.

The third quarter was an arm wrestle with the Blues maintaining their as-cendancy. Paul Rogasch and Lance Brouwer, along with Kain Stratton, were doing wonderful work in defence for the Blues and Luke Hewitt was proving to be a handful in the forward half of the ground.

At the last change, Hastings had its nose in front 6.7 (43) to 5.7 (37).

Somerville was rumoured to be go-ing into the game without prime mov-er Tim McGennis, however, he took his place.

Adrian Ridout came straight back into the team after three quarters in the reserves. He missed four weeks with a hamstring. Cal Dixon also played his fi rst game in a number of weeks after looking to be out of favour.

The Eagles needed to fi nd some-thing in the last quarter and they did, booting fi ve goals to two to run out 10.8 (68) to 8.12 (60) winners.

The Blues squandered opportunities in the fi nal 25 minutes, booting fi ve behinds.

Ben Sedgewick was again at the top of his game for the Eagles with another outstanding performance in defence, while Dixon showed his ca-pabilities through the middle of the ground.

Scott Simpson turned around an average performance last week to be one of the Eagles’ best and Jedd Sut-ton was again one of his team’s best performers.

The Eagles are looked upon as a bit of a glamour side, however, they have a defensive quality and a hunger that people underestimate.

Against Red Hill, Sorrento and Hast-ings, the Eagles have been required to fi nd a little extra, get up off the deck and fi ght. They have responded every time against quality opposition.

The Eagles have won four of their fi ve games (only defeat was a shock loss to Pearcedale), however, sit in

fi fth place on the ladder.Rosebud is nestled neatly in third

place on the ladder after a command-ing victory against Dromana.

In a match that didn’t reach great heights and was marred by poor skill execution and turnovers, the Buds still remained the better of the two teams throughout the contest and recorded a 10.7 (67) to 6.15 (73) victory.

Rosebud’s Tom Baker was the key difference between the sides with fi ve of Rosebud’s ten goals.

Jason Bristow and Rob Forrest set up the win with blistering fi rst halves of footy. Each collected 26 posses-sions and although they faded in the second half, Ryan Spooner and Rhys Bancroft picked up the slack. Sam Kremich also did a superb job on the dangerous teenager Sam Fowler, who failed to hit the scoreboard.

The Buds control of the match was evident by the fact that they had 80 to 56 marks, while their run receives were also in their favour at 43-30. In-side 50’s were about equal though.

The home side also had a lot more purpose taking the balI into their for-ward line, while the Tigers seemed to bang it in and hope.

Matt Jones was outstanding for the Tigers, as was Terry Wheeler and Sam Guerts.

Frankston Bombers made it two wins on the trot after easily account-ing for Devon Meadows, 17.17 (119) to 10.13 (73).

The Panthers again let themselves down with a poor fi rst half and al-though fi ghting back in the second hour, the damage had already been done.

Zac Longham was outstanding for

the winner with fi ve goals.Sorrento got back on the winners

list with a massive 28.14 (182) to 4.1 (25) victory over Tyabb.

Leigh Poholke booted six goals for the winners, Nick Muller snagged four and a further nine players hit the scoreboard.

Troy Schwarze was back from over-seas and Ryan Jeffrey returned from suspension. Jon Croad and Daniel Grant were both missing but expected to be back next week. Miles Pitt heads overseas this week.

Tyrren Head continued his dominant season, while Chris Morgan was dom-inant in the ruck.

Tyson Sparkes and James Cottrell were the best of the Yabbies.

Red Hill maintained its position at the top of the ladder with a 15.10 (100) to 5.14 (44) victory against Pearce-

dale.Hillmen coach Tony Blackford said

after the game that the result wasn’t a refl ection of the game.

“It really wasn’t until the last quar-ter that we were able to shake them,” Blackford said.

Michael Chaplin booted four for the winners and Matt Vagg kicked a cou-ple against his old side.

Rye sits in second place on the lad-der after smashing Crib Point.

The Demons were never challenged and recorded a 18.15 (123) to 11.6 (72) victory.

The Magpies, who were so impres-sive last year with a grand fi nal ap-pearance, are now sitting in the bot-tom three with just one win and will not play fi nals in 2015.
