Guy open to wedge reviewPLANNING minister Matthew Guy has indicated he will consider Kingston Council’s contentious bid to rezone land in the green wedge to a minimum lot size of 2000 square metres, possibly paving the way for residential development in

the environmentally-sensitive area.The News can reveal minister Guy

wrote to council late last month to advise he would consider such a request from council “based on its merits” should it be formally made.The correspondence from the minis-

ter seems at odds with previous public statements he has made on the matter,

including a pledge in state parliament as recently as March this year that he had no intention of “approving anything” on green wedge land near Southern Golf Club (‘Guy ‘no intention’ to rezone wedge’, The News, 26/3/14).Kingston Council asked the plan-

ning minister late last year for advice on rezoning green wedge land between

Kingston and Heatherton Rds and Lower Dandenong Rd to a Rural Living Zone with a minimum lot size of 2000 square metres.

Council’s proposal, expanded in March after a narrow five to four coun-cillors’ vote on the issue, also now in-cludes a request to rezone 53 hectares of green wedge land within the boundary

of Braeside Park, Southern Golf Club, Springvale and Governor Rds to “an ap-propriate residential zone” by moving the Urban Growth Boundary to include the land.

This land includes Mentone Gram-mar’s Keysborough playing fields near Southern Golf Club.

Science supporters: CSIRO Staff Association president Dr Michael Borgas, Senator Kim Carr and member for Isaacs Mark Dreyfus at the science research organisation’s Aspendale laboratories. Picture: Gary Sissons

FEDERAL government funding cuts to the CSIRO are already being felt in Kingston. Marine and atmospheric re-search laboratories’ staff at Aspendale have been told eight research jobs will be axed.

The jobs losses come after the Ab-bott government slashed about $115 million from the scientific research organisation’s budget in its controver-sial cost-cutting April budget, putting pressure on the viability of the Aspen-dale facility (‘Abbott goes cold on sci-ence centre’, The News, 4/6/14).

Federal Labor member for Isaacs Mark Dreyfus and shadow minister for research Kim Carr visited the As-pendale laboratories last Friday and described Coalition government cuts to science research “a tragedy”.

“The scientists here undertake world-class work in marine and at-mospheric sciences, and it’s a tragedy that some are losing their jobs and their research is to be halted,” Senator Carr said.

“CSIRO is our premier scientific research organisation, with an interna-tional reputation, but it is in the pro-cess of being gutted by a government which has no science minister, no sci-ence policy and no understanding of the benefits of scientific research.”

CSIRO Staff Association president Dr Michael Borgas said the jobs blow created “a lot of uncertainty”.

“Any funding cuts affect our ability to do scientific research and staffing levels are being cut across all CSIRO divisions,” he said.

“Ideally, we would rather do more research – not less.”

Mr Dreyfus was scathing in his as-sessment of the Abbott government’s budget cuts.

“The Abbott Government’s budget is not only heartless – it is also brain-less,” he said.

“For decades this facility has pro-vided a source of ongoing employment in my electorate, while contributing

nationally and globally through its ground-breaking scientific research.”

The CSIRO laboratories at Aspen-dale are a hub for marine and atmos-pheric research. Scientists analyse ice core samples, air quality, pollution and undertake climate and atmospheric modelling research at the Aspendale laboratories.

At a recent Senates estimates, CSIRO CEO Dr Megan Clarke hinted

Aspendale staff may be transferred to premises at Clayton as part of a con-solidation strategy.

“We have been looking at both the strategic opportunities and the fund-ing opportunities to consolidate that [site] to Clayton. We have not made that move or clarified that timetable but we have for a long time signalled our intent to consolidate our footprint in Victoria, in Clayton,” Dr Clark said.

Jobs axed as science cuts hit homeNeil [email protected]

AN independent observer will be hired by Kingston Council to observe councillors’ behaviour and advise whether action is needed.

Councillors backed Cr David Eden’s suggestion at a council meet-ing this month to bring in an outsider to monitor and provide feedback to council about the standard of debate at council meetings.

Several contentious issues over the past few months – including potential rezoning of parts of Kingston’s Green Wedge and the reformation of the vil-lage committees consultation process – has often seen councillors narrowly split on key decisions.

Cr Eden said he was “concerned about the way a council officer was treated” at a meeting recently and had

also been approached by fellow coun-cillors who felt “uncomfortable” at council meetings.

“I, on a number of occasions, haven’t felt comfortable in council meetings because of the way in which people are exchanging comments.”

Cr Ron Brownlees said he hoped “it isn’t… a witch hunt” but supported bringing in an independent observer.

“I’m happy for someone to come in even though it will cost us,” he said. “Councils can be difficult by their na-ture.”

However, Cr Geoff Gledhill op-posed the hiring of an independent assessor, noting councillors would disagree on some matters.

“We have debates, we have argu-ments, we have differences of opin-

ion – if councillors don’t like that, perhaps they’re in the wrong job,” he said.

“I would hope we have enough pro-fessional governance people around us who could advise councillors if they’re stepping outside what are the accepted boundaries.”

Cr Rosemary West supported the move. She said she had recently at-tended a Frankston Council meeting as a spectator and the meeting was “really well chaired and it was impec-cably polite”.

Cr West noted a governance expert lawyer was in attendance and told her he was advising Frankston council-lors’ on their behaviour at meetings.

“If it’s good enough for Frankston Council to have someone come and

monitor the conduct at their meetings, I think it should be good enough for us.”

Cr Eden denied he was being “pre-cious” and said he was “happy to have debate and have it publicly”.

“It’s good for us to have debates – my concern is there haven’t been con-structive debates.”

Crs Tamara Barth, Brownlees Eden and West voted to bring in an inde-pendent observer. Crs Gledhill and mayor Paul Peulish opposed the move and Cr Tamsin Bearsley abstained. Cr John Ronke was absent from the meeting.

Councillors will now ask council’s CEO to provide cost estimates for the independent observer appointment.

Who watches the councillors?

Commercial use feedback push

Loos victory

Poos not fine

KINGSTON Council is seeking feed-back from residents, community groups and businesses regarding a new policy related to the Commercial Use of Council Land.

The intent of the Commercial Use of Council Land policy is to provide op-portunities for not-for-profit and com-mercial entities to conduct activities on Council owned or controlled land, sub-ject to planning and legal requirements.

“Kingston is a beautiful city with a lot to offer in terms of parks, reserves and foreshore and we receive a lot of requests from businesses and commu-nity members wishing to hold events. From weddings through to personal training and sporting events, Council needs to ensure that access is equita-ble and the rest of the community can continue to enjoy the area,” mayor Paul Peulich said.

The draft policy will mean all appli-cations to use Council owned or man-aged land for commercial purposes will have to meet criteria around: n Nature of activity n Suitability of site n Scale of activity n Public safety n Impact on community and amenity n Ability to conduct the activity n Return to Council n Community benefit n Compliance with the Kingston’sn Planning Scheme and other agency’s requirements

Visit www.kingston.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay for further information. The consultation closes on Friday 11 July and community feedback will be considered before a final policy is presented to council.

Call council’s property services team on 9581 4389.

NEW public toilets will be built at The Strand in Chelsea.

Traders and shoppers have been ask-ing Kingston Council for a centralised public toilet in the area since it is often difficult to access existing public toilets at Woolworths, the library and within Victory Park.

Public feedback on the design of the proposed toilets will be sought via www.kingston.vic.gov.au

DOG owners must always carry a lit-ter removal device for dog poo.

Failure to clean up can lead to a $144 penalty. Free plastic bags are available at council customer service centres and libraries.

Kingston Council has released its 2014-15 Draft Budget with a focus on improving services, maintaining $2.5 billion in community assets and delivering $44.9 million in capital works.

Prudent financial management ensures the City of Kingston continues to deliver solid value for money to ratepayers. With a modest increase of 4.25% to total rates and charges, the 2014-15 Draft Budget responds to the community’s expectation that we continue to deliver services and facilities in a cost effective way.

Preserving and maintaining our assetsWhile Council looks to manage its operating budget, Kingston keeps rate rises to a minimum by effectively maintaining our existing assets to ensure their value is preserved. Constraining the operating budget means Council can contribute to delivering services and facilities with only a moderate rate increase.

Listening to our communityFrom listening to Kingston residents we know the community wants to see continued investment in support services including family and children’s services; and facilities such as libraries, parks, sportsgrounds and pools.

KINGSTON property owners will have to fork out an average of about $70 extra on their rates next year, with council proposing a “moderate” 4.25 per cent annual rate rise under its 2014-15 draft budget.

The council has affirmed its commit-ment to keeping rate rises to “a mini-mum” in order to deliver “solid value for money” to ratepayers during the current tough economic climate.

While well above the inflation rate, which stands at 2.9 per cent, King-ston’s proposed rate rise is lower than that of surrounding municipalities, which have pencilled in increases of between 5 and 6 per cent, and well down on the hefty 8 per cent hike prop-erty and business owners were hit with in 2010-11.

The council’s 2014-15 draft budget, which was tabled last week, also com-mits to keeping rate rises at 4.25 per cent for the next three annual budgets.

And in further good news for King-ston rate payers, the draft budget pro-poses no increase on both waste ser-vice and municipal charges, while also maintaining the $80 rate rebate for pensioners, which is in addition to the $208 state government rebate).

But an official re-evaluation of prop-erty values this year could force rates up much higher for some Kingston proper-ty owners, with real estate price increas-es fluctuating wildly between Kingston suburbs over the past two years.

The average house price for King-ston is $600,000, up 5.4 per cent on last year and about 10 per cent higher

than in 2012, when Melbourne’s real estate market was in retreat. The aver-age price of a unit is $435,000, a rise of 5.2 per cent over the past 12 months.

But some areas have experienced dramatic property price increases since 2012, especially in case of apartments in suburbs such as Chelsea Heights, Edith-vale and Cheltenham, with rises of up to 20 per cent over the past two years.

Those owners face significantly higher increases in their rates bills than the proposed average 4.25 per cent rise, offset by lower increases for property owners in suburbs where price rises have been flatter.

The moderate rate rise coincides with contractions in other council rev-enue streams, most notably govern-ment grants, which are down 75 per cent on the current financial year, and means council has been forced to keep a tight rein on costs.

But Kingston mayor Cr Paul Peulich said costs would be kept in check by “prudent financial management” and a modest capital works program rather than cuts to vital services provided to the community.

“Council has worked hard to deliver a balanced budget that takes into ac-count the needs of the community, ex-pected levels of service and the com-munity’s capacity to pay,” Cr Peulich said, adding that particular attention had been given to mounting financial pressure on pensioners.

“Kingston’s focus is on working with what we have, containing costs, renew-ing assets and investing in new capital works using state government grants to co-fund projects where possible.”

Kingston’s capital works program is

budgeted at $44.9 million for the 2014-15 financial year, with major projects including the Edithvale Family and Children’s Hub ($3.4 million), Park-dale Family and Children’s Hub ($2.2 million) and Bonbeach West Pavilion ($1.4 million), as well as flood mitiga-tion ($3.8 million), roads reconstruc-tion ($2.7 million), footpath renewal ($1.5 million), and LED street light fit-tings replacement ($1.5 million).

Kingston CEO John Nevins said the draft budget projected a net operating surplus of $15.5 million on revenue of $179.8 million and total expenses of $164.3 million.

With the council’s focus on “respon-sible financial constraint” Mr Nevins said the proposed budget reflected the “current global economic environment, is forward-looking, financially respon-sible and, most importantly, facilitates the achievement of all of the 2013-2017 Council Plan strategic objectives”.

But the emphasis on Kingston “liv-ing within its means” meant the council “does not have sufficient resources to immediately meet all of the expressed community demands for new assets and the renewal of existing assets”.

“However, to address this challenge, council is focusing its capital works pro-gram to place a greater emphasis on asset renewal rather than the creation of new assets or the upgrade of existing assets.”

Kingston residents are invited to have their say on the 2014-15 draft budget, with a number of public con-sultation initiative organised including a public information session. The draft budget can be viewed by on council website or at Kingston customer ser-vice centres and libraries.

MOTORISTS turning right into Nepean Hwy at the Seaford Rd intersection know how frustrating it can be waiting for pedestrians to cross, particularly during the busy summer months. And it is equally frustrating – and at times dangerous – for pedestrians trying to cope with impatient drivers. To address the problem, the State Government has provided funding to change the operation of the traffic signals so that the northern pedestrian crossing at the intersection will no longer operate at the same time as the Seaford Road right turn.

I AM continuing to push for the relocation of the Carrum Downs CFA to new headquarters. The brigade’s preferred site is the north-east corner of the Wedge Rd – Frankston-Dandenong Rd intersection. I raised the issue with Police and Emergency Services Minister Kim Wells in Parliament earlier this year, and have requested an update on negotiations between the Minister’s office, CFA and Frankston City Council. Now in its 70th year, Carrum Downs CFA is a very busy station, attending about 450 fires and incidents per year.

SOME lucky groups and organisations in my electorate have benefitted from my dad Terry’s very green thumb in recent weeks. Dad grows seedlings especially for me to distribute to local groups that may have a community garden or vegetable patch. Not only will they soon have thriving crops of lettuce and spinach, but we hope that his hard work inspires budding gardeners to take up the hobby. Thanks dad.

COMPLETION of the Mordialloc bypass is a step closer following an announcement that $10.6 million will be spent on preparing a business case and statutory approvals for the project. Combined with the Dingley Bypass this road will drastically reduce congestion and improve safety on local roads and make a huge difference to commuters in my electorate. We have already committed to building the Dingley Bypass, and construction will start later this year and be completed in 2016.

WE are well into footy season and I love being able to catch a game or two of local footy and meeting with players and families. This month I’ve also enjoyed attending special luncheon events at Bonbeach and Skye Football Clubs, and Seaford Football and Netball Club. These events are not only a great way for club members and friends to show their support for the club, but for clubs to show their appreciation in return.

PLANTING shrubs, cleaning off graffiti, picking up litter and even lobbying for a new public toilet in the shopping centre are worthwhile tasks being undertaken by the Chel-sea Bonbeach Train Station Group. And commuters are reaping the re-wards.

The volunteer group, running for more than six years and with around 20 members, meets each month to plan working bees, arrange supplies and assign tasks. Last Saturday 15 helpers donned their gloves and set to work at Bonbeach station plant-ing shrubs and grasses, cleaning up rubbish and beautifying surrounding areas.

And rail operator Metro was im-pressed: they put on a sausage siz-zle for the helpers afterwards to say thanks.

President and coordinator Wade Ransby said the community work was “really rewarding”.

“On Saturday passers-by were saying: ‘Wow, that looks great’,” he said.

“We’ve got an active group of all ages – kids and those in their 60s - and we work well together.”

Last Friday the group nabbed the assistance of ten helpers from one of the Big Four banks as part of its community volunteer program. Staff members are allowed two volunteer days a year as a way of “giving back to the community”.

The Chelsea & Bonbeach Train

Station Group also values the help of Carrum Primary School pupils as part of the Big Green Schools initiative. “They come to our working bee and are inter-ested in helping at stations further down the line.”

The Chelsea and Bonbeach sta-tions are the “core focus” of the

group but their attention will probably be drawn to Edithvale and Aspendale stations which are “looking pretty dismal at the mo-ment”.

Carrum MP Donna Bauer and Labor candidate for Carrum Son-ya Kilkenny are regular volunteer helpers.

See the group at facebook.com/cbtsg.com.au and website cbts.org.au

New members are welcome to assist on the second Saturday of each month.

There is a calendar on the web-site and a reminder page on Fa-cebook.

Continued from page 1In February this year, The News

revealed the elite private school had made a request to council in April 2012 – kept confidential by council at the time – to move the playing fields into the urban growth boundary and out of the green wedge (‘Exclusive letter lands’, The News, 9/4/14).

Minister Guy’s latest correspond-ence advised council “to speak to the Metropolitan Planning Authority regarding any change to the Urban Growth Boundary”.

The letter stated one of the ini-tiatives of the governement’s Plan Melboune strategy “is to protect Melbourne and its suburbs from in-appropriate development”, includ-ing the need to “lock in a permanent Urban Growth Boundary” with “a process...to be established in the near future.”

Defenders of the South East Green Wedge secretary Barry Ross said the recent communication from the min-ister to Kingston Council was “disap-pointing”.

“We believe he [minister Guy] should come out of the long grass and nip all this in the bud,” Mr Ross said.

“The minister makes public state-ments about protecting the green wedge and that letter is disappoint-ing.”

Mr Ross said he hoped Mr Guy would end uncertainty over the poten-tial rezoning of green wedge land so “everyone knows where they stand”.

He said market gardeners in the green wedge could not make fu-ture business plans until the green wedge’s future was secured.

“It would also put landowners who believe they stand to make windfall gains [from any rezoning] out of their misery,” Mr Ross said.

Kingston Council did not respond to requests for comment before publica-tion.

A spokesperson for Mr Guy ad-

vised The News the planning minister was unavailable for interview before deadline.

A statement from Mr Guy was pro-vided: “Our Office has not received any formal request to alter schedules - so we can’t comment on this council matter as such.”

‘Adverse’ decisions affect everyoneSINCE the election of the current Kingston councillors the community has witnessed decisions that adversely affect both the environment and com-munity amenity.

Lot sizes of sections of the Green Wedge may be reduced for residential subdivision, tree planting on the frag-ile foreshore has been banned, a 25-lot subdivision on the protective urban floodway land next to the Edithvale Wetlands was approved, the Bay Trail was located to maximise removal of foreshore vegetation and a permit for a Gathering Place for Indigenous Elders in the unused hall on the Parkdale fore-shore was refused.

Their latest effort is the decision to suspend the activities of all village committees prior to their review and likely abolition (‘Village committees canned’, The News, 28/5/14).

Why then did Cr Geoff Gledhill feel it so necessary to introduce an urgent item of business to the 2 June agenda, with the effect of preventing village committee representatives contribut-ing at the next Council meeting?

Diana Donohue, Aspendale

State libs ‘cut too’IN reference to the article about Lib-eral members (‘Bauer turns up heat on Canberra colleagues’, The News, 28/5/14), I would like to point out that it’s not just the federal Liberals that have slashed funds: the state Liberal government has also withdrawn fund-ing for vital services.

They have slashed $826 million for Victorian hospitals - resulting in very few new hospital beds, even though this was one of their election promises,

and increased waiting lists for surgery. State Libs have also cut millions on education, including $1.2 billion in TAFE funding.

This makes it more difficult for our children to succeed at school and get the skills they will need for a job. It’s time to change this ineffective state government.

Nola Baker, Parkdale

Pass thanks to hospital and staff IT is my pleasure to let people know what is being done at Frankston Hos-pital.

I am a cancer patient and over a pe-riod of years have been a patient in the Oncology ward. For many years the Oncology staff have truly struggled to meet all patients’ needs, but treat their patients with the utmost dignity and kindness but they worked in very con-fined spaces, now I say with delight I had the privilege to see the new Oncol-ogy department.

It is still in the same building of the hospital, but has had a complete over-haul they can now treat more patients in a more restful area, and the staff have now space to move and I hope time to enjoy their break (not that they ever took them…).

I personally thank them all.Yvonne Miller, Mornington

Crossing deathFRANKSTON line trains were suspended during Tuesday’s evening peak after an elderly man riding a bicycle was struck and killed by a train at an Edithvale crossing. Police said the man was crossing the tracks from the Nepean Highway to Station St about 3.30pm when he was hit by a Frankston-bound train. The crossing, at the northern end of Edithvale station, provided access for pedestrians only and was not protected by boom gates. Passengers aboard the train were forced to disembark and transfer to buses while police and rescue workers recovered the man’s body.Peak hour commuters faced extensive delays, with buses replacing trains between Mordialloc and Carrum until about 6.30pm when the Frankston line was reopened. The cause of the incident is being investigated and police will prepare a report for the coroner. Pictures: Gary Sissons

FOOTBALLERS, cricketers and netballers all got a boost last week with a $100,000 grant to redevelop the pavilion at Bonbeach recreation reserve.

The money will provide unisex change rooms, improved umpire, first aid and storage areas, ac-cessible toilets and a lift to access the upstairs community areas.

The pavilion is the home of the Bonbeach Sharks Football Netball Club and the Bonbeach Tangy Cricket Club. Funding is through the Country Football Netball Program.

Sharks vice president Gerard Turville said he was “happy happy, happy” with the funding an-nouncement and that all those associated with the club were excited.

“We’ve had plenty of consultations and meet-ings and now, finally, we are getting it,” he said.

“It’s good for the whole community to have an upgraded building. The former clubrooms were 55 years old and antiquated and this one will be a pleasure to look at.”

Minister for Sport and Recreation, Damian Drum, joined member for Carrum Donna Bauer last week to announce the grant.

He commended funding partners the King-ston City Council for committing $2.136 mil-lion towards the eight-year project. Stage one of the works are the football, netball and cricket facilities.

“The Napthine Government is committed to a more active Victoria, that’s why investments like these are so important,” Mr Drum said.

“By building quality sports infrastructure we’re providing more sports clubs and commu-nities with stronger foundations to develop their sport and encourage even more local people to participate, making a healthier and more active Victoria.”

RESIDENTS will get their chance to discuss the pros and cons of the draft Mentone Coastal Pre-cinct Plan at a community meeting at the Mentone Life Saving Club on Thursday 19 July.

Kingston Council drew up the plan based on feedback from locals in March and it has now been released for public comment.

Mayor Cr Paul Peulich said he was pleased to see a high level of enthusiasm and eagerness from the community “in the ongoing process of making the Mentone Coastal Precinct the best it can be”.

The main themes identified by the community are access and connectivity, environmental issues and foreshore management, coastal character and amenity, recreational, community and cultural uses as well as traffic and parking.

“Council’s draft plan takes this feedback into account and includes a number of upgrades to address these issues such as lighting, seating and shelter, as well as the installation of an accessible ramp and a car park upgrade,” Cr Peulich said.

“Kingston is well known for its beaches and foreshore reserves. By investing in the preserva-tion and maintenance of these areas we are ensur-ing residents and visitors can continue to enjoy these natural assets, both now and into the future.”

If approved, implementing the Mentone Coastal Precinct Plan will be staged over several years under the council’s capital works program and budget.

Stages one and two would include promenade work, such as lighting, seating and shelters, and construction of a bay trail, car park, access ramp, paths and boardwalks.

Stages three and four would include installation of fitness equipment and replacing the old play-ground, and, in the long term, building a roof over Mentone Life Saving Club and considering com-plementary uses within the building footprint.

Letters and noticeboards will keep residents in-formed of the draft plan’s progress.

Mentone ready to shore up future

Ms Bauer said the extra space will allow the 370-strong Sharks to build on their numbers and take their games to a new level.

“Other sports and community groups are also invited to access the pavilion for training, meet-ings and other community events once the pro-ject is complete,” she said.

Formed in 1962, the Bonbeach Sharks play in the Mornington Peninsula Football Netball League. They have played nine games this sea-

son and are second on the ladder. The netballers have three sides and the cricketers five.

The MPNFL is regarded as the second strong-est country football league.

This year the club celebrates the 30th anniver-sary of its 1984 senior premiership team, and 10th anniversary of the 2004 reserves premier-ship.

The clubrooms are open on Thursdays from 6pm during footy season for meals.

Hospital’s new CEOSUE Williams, pictured, has been ap-pointed CEO of Peninsula Health.

Ms Williams, former general manager Healthcare Division of the Spotless Group, replaces Dr Sherene Devanesen who resigned in October last year after 13 years with Peninsula Health to become chief operating officer of the Yooralla Society of Victoria.

Peninsula Health chair Nancy Ho-gan said Ms Williams, before working Spotless, had been a partner in the health and human services division of KPMG as well as holding various positions with Healthscope and the North Western Healthcare Network.

“Sue’s earliest qualifications were in Nursing, but she has added to this a Bachelor in Business Management and a Master of Business Administra-tion from Monash University,” Ms Hogan said. “In 2009, she undertook the advanced management program at Harvard University.”

Acting CEO David Anderson will continue until a starting date is con-firmed for Ms Williams.


SPECTATORS lined Frankston’s foreshore last Monday hoping their lucky ducky would be the one to win them some big bucks.

It was a race meet with a difference trying to make a difference.

The inaugural Rubber Duck Derby in Frankston was a fundraiser for the Cancer Support for Families Foundation. Entrants ‘bought’ rubber ducks which competed to be first across the finish line in Kananook Creek.

Race organiser Brett O’Farrell couldn’t have been happier with the outcome on the day.

“It was a great result – we raised about $20,000 from the race,” he said.

Mr O’Farrell previously worked at the Cancer Council and has established the CSFF as a way to support the families of cancer sufferers.

Often, family members have to take time off work to help care for and support relatives with cancer.

“There can be a huge cost to families financially when someone has cancer and many other charities do a fantastic job raising money for cancer research but this is something a bit different,” Mr O’Farrell said.

The Chelsea resident had a playing stint in the AFL turning out for both the Sydney Swans and Hawthorn in the late 1990s before turning his hand to working in sports event management.

He said the skills he learned managing sports events has proven to be invaluable after he moved into the not-for-profit fund raising sector.

Former Swan runs rubber duck race

Kathleen Burgess’ rubber duck was first past the post in the race between Playne and Davey streets last Monday, scooping up a $2000 first prize. Rebecca Sweeney’s duck was placed second, earning $1000 for its owner. Brooke Holloway received $500 for a third place duck finish.

The CSFF will be holding more fund raising events throughout the year.

Mr O’Farrell plans to host another rubber duck derby at Kananook Creek next year to build on the positive reception to this year’s event. Visit www.csff.org.au for further information.

ONE of the men who played an intrinsic role in the Beatles tour – and in getting Johnny Chester his first big break – is Bruce Stewart.

A sales rep at radio station 3DB in the 1960s (he’s now a sales rep for The News), Stewart also managed a The Phantoms a band popular on the local scene. He ran a series of dance concerts at Festival Hall at which Johnny Chester sang.

Now living at Skye, Stewart was an associate of Dick Lean, who ran Festival Hall where The Beatles later played.

At one of the Sunday afternoon shows, Stewart recalls talking to Lean who had just received a phone call from promoter Kenn Brodziak, in London, asking who he should sign up for a future tour of Australia. “I said I’d go and ask the teenagers who they wanted to see,” Stewart recalled.

“There was a choice of Gerry and the Pacemakers, Brian Poole and the Tremeloes and The Beatles, so I called out their names one by one. The Beatles got the most applause, so I told Lean and things started to fall in place.”

Stewart said he had heard The Beatles’ first album, Please Please Me, and thought it “fantastic”. He tried to buy a copy but it had already sold out.

That confirmed his belief in the band’s popularity and touring poten-tial. Lean was of a like mind, saying that if their record made number one then their concerts here would cer-tainly be sell outs.

Meeting Lean later at his office at the Southern Cross hotel, Stewart heard the good news: The Beatles had signed and would tour in June. But who could he suggest as support acts?

“I said The Phantoms and Johnny

Devlin - who was known nationally and was from New Zealand where the tour would finish. He asked for one more act. I said Johnny Chester who was a local legend. Johnny O’Keefe was big nationally but Chester was really big in Melbourne.

“He called them all, got positive responses and said: ‘Done, we are all set to go’.”

But Stewart’s role was really just beginning. Lean had appreciated his advice and assistance in putting things together and asked him to join the tour.

After the first eye-opening concert at Adelaide, Stewart got up early and called into sister station 5AD to broadcast back to DB in Melbourne how the show was received and what songs were sung. It was tantamount to a warning: The Beatles’ phenomenon is on its way - get ready!

Whirlwind tour and a party, but no photos

CELEBRATIONS marking last week’s 50th anniversary of the Bea-tles tour of Australia struck a resonant chord with Rosebud’s John (Johnny) Chester.

The popular musician was a support act for the Fab Four when they played to packed – and screaming - houses in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and then New Zealand.

Memories came flooding back when the phones ran hot last week after the screening of an ABC documentary on the landmark tour. Australia had never seen anything like it before, with half of Adelaide’s population jamming the route from the airport and Mel-bourne’s streets a sea of eager young faces cramming to catch a glimpse of the group on the balcony of the old Southern Cross hotel.

That was on the first day – Sunday 14 June – and the same thing hap-pened the next. Melbourne’s young-sters were on a new trajectory: the Swinging 60s had begun – nothing would be the same again.

“I’ve had a lot of calls and emails and some very favourable comments about the TV show,” Chester, 73, told The News last week. “Liz [his wife of 50 years] thought it was terrific.

“I wasn’t aware of any [behind the scenes] controversies like some peo-ple are trying to suggest. One TV sta-tion asked me to tell what was really going on backstage and I said nothing. Even if I knew I wouldn’t tell.”

Chester sang four songs a show for two shows a night as support act after local band The Phantoms, New Zealand rocker Johnny Devlin and British act Sounds Incorporated had warmed up the 4500-strong crowd. Not that they needed warming up, as the band they had really come to see was riding a wave of popularity never seen before in Australia.

The Beatles’ shows lasted half an hour, but no one heard them sing more than the first few bars of any song as screaming girls drowned them out.

“I really liked what they were do-ing,” Chester said. “And the proof was certainly in the pudding as they had the top six singles in the charts and their first album, Please Please

Me would have been number one too, if we’d had a chart for albums.

“I felt that something special was happening with all the media attention they had and I liked the way they treated everyone. They were nice guys who made everyone feel at ease.”

Chester said The Beatles’ tour gave him – and many other performers - the confidence to regard singing as a career and not just something to do after their day job.

Referring to The Beatles as the complete package - writing, singing and playing their own songs - Chester says he enjoyed their company: “We got on very well and we had the same musical influences.

“We were the same age and we were a long time in each other’s company. We had similar interests and we ate together – even though there would be about 40 other people in the room at the time.”

He treasures a quiet chat with George Harrison in which they discussed their favourite musicians, the songs they liked – and their love of cars. George had just bought an E-type Jaguar and was keen to get back home for a first drive.

Another highlight was attending Paul’s 22nd birthday on the Sydney leg of the tour. Chester had turned 22 the previous December.

Before the second Adelaide show, Chester’s nervousness threatened to derail proceedings. He thought “no one would be interested in what I was doing” and even began steeling him-self for boos from the audience.

However, an inspired choice of song: Fever by Peggy Lee, combined with innovative lighting techniques, helped him produce a stunning perfor-mance. Even John Lennon - watching from the wings - was blown away: “Where did you get that idea from,” he asked incredulously after the set. “That was f…ing fantastic.” His con-fidence soared and nervousness was never a problem again.

“The Beatles were exactly what people wanted,” Chester said. “They were smiling and happy, there were no fights. It was a wonderful experi-ence.”

Ches ‘knew’ The Beatles were something special

It was 1964 and Melbourne had never before put on such a welcome for musicians.STEPHEN TAYLOR, not yet a teenager, remembers his older sister going into town the see The Beatles. Here he talks to two men who toured with the Fab Four.

SET on a secluded 1.21 hectares, this breathtaking home looms large at the end of a paved semi-circular driveway, and is surrounded by a well-grassed lawn area. This double storey mansion adjoins a massive four-car garage – as big as some houses – and when combined with the generous small acreage around the home it is evident that space will never be an issue here. Perfect for a well-set up tradesman or budding trucking magnate, there is plenty of room to erect (STCA) additional storage sheds for machinery and vehicles. From the welcoming entry foyer, you breeze past a home office and a bright formal dining room into the main hub of the home that comprises a casual meals area and a kitchen that overlooks the family room. The spacious kitchen has a timber theme and features a large recessed area for a double door refrigerator, a stainless-steel wall oven, gas hotplates and a dishwasher. The large breakfast bar is perfect for busy school mornings or meals on the go. There is a powder room on the ground floor and underneath the spiral staircase leading up to the second level is handy storage space. At the top of the stairs is a second living area, perfect for a rumpus room and kids console games, and four large bedrooms. Three bedrooms have built-in robes and share the main bathroom, whilst the enormous main bedroom has lovely curved lines with feature windows affording a great view across the property and surrounding area. With space for a cosy lounge in the parents retreat and a luxurious ensuite with spa bath, you will have that five-star hotel feel every morning and night.

Continued from page 12Stewart recalls talking to George Harrison on

the Fokker flight to Melbourne: “I said it must be great seeing the world and having all these people interested in you. He said: ‘Does it get any better? All we see are the insides of planes, limos, and concert halls and then get back on the plane and don’t really see anything’.”

Stewart thought Harrison rather introverted, John Lennon as “knowing he was the leader of the band”, and Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr as only interested in “having a ball”.

They did.“Early on I had a chat with [Ringo’s stand-in

drummer] Jimmy Nicol and realised it would have been a tough gig for him. Most of us were in the same boat as him, though, thinking ‘What

are we doing here?’”But The Beatles – as individuals – were pleas-

ant, affable and well behaved. “Before Adelaide we wondered what they would be like,” he said. “But they all shook our hands, were polite and just ordinary blokes.”

And generous, too: They let the support acts use their then huge Fox amps and didn’t let fame influence their dealings with others.

A highlight for Stewart was Paul McCartney’s 22nd birthday at the Sheraton in Sydney. He was having a great time and asked if he could be in a photo with the band. “They said ‘of course’ and so I raced upstairs to my room to grab my camera but, on the way back, I was stopped by security who said ‘No pictures, no cameras’. I was deflated, thinking what might have been.”

June edition out now!PEARLMAG.COM.AU

Compiled by Cameron McCulloughTHE wedding of Miss Grace Hutchins, of Mornington, to Mr W Humphies, of Riddell, was celebrated at Mornington on Wednesday last.

***THE Frankston Choral Society held their weekly practice on Wednesday evening last, and the large muster of members thoroughly enjoyed the hard work their conductor gave them.

***THE popular young sportsman, Mr J Murphy, has left Mornington for the metropolis, and his friends intend giv-ing him a send off and giving him a presentation at an early date.

***A number of members of the Frankston Choral Society intend going to hear the “We Four” combination of male voices sing at the Melbourne Athenae-um Hall on Wednesday next. Mr F Earp is one of the principals. Messrs Brody and Mason will sell by auction on the premises, “Kananook” Melbourne Road, Frankston, on Wednesday next, freehold property, furniture, and sundries. Sale will com-mence at 2 o’clock.

***A GRAND dance, the proceeds of which will go towards defraying the expenses of a Frankston child while in the Infectious Diseases Hospital, will be held in the Mechanics’ hall this (Saturday) evening. A splendid orchestra has been engaged, and light refresh ments will be provided. A pleasant evening is assured.

***A very painful accident befell Mrs

Latchford, of the Westernport Hotel, on Friday evening last. This lady trav-elled by the train from town, and when it arrived at Hastings, mistook the side of the carriage the platform was on, and stepped out onto the permanent way and received a severe shaking, being unable to walk home. Dr Grif-fith of Somerville has been attending the injured lady.

***THE finances of the Mornington shire are in a healthy condition, as com-pared to this time last year. At the last meeting the overdraft was reported by the treasurer to be £109 4s 8d, and with that day’s payments amounting to £219 7s 10d would be £328 12s 6d. At this time last year the overdraft was £724. Cr Flood said that it was a mat-ter of great gratification that they stood in such a satisfactory position.

***WE are pleased to state that Mrs Hughes, of Mornington, who has been an inmate at St. Vincent hospital for the past six weeks, is now convales-cent, and staying with friends in the metropolis.

***AT the last show of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association, the cham-pion case of apples, grown by the president of the association, Mr O Grant, was purchased by Mr Moss, of Messrs J W Moss and Co. The original intention of Mr Moss was to display the fruit in the leading fruit shops in London, but it was afterwards thought that the apples might prove acceptable to His Majesty the King, and would at the same time bring Australian fruit prominently before His Majesty. Mr

Moss therefore arranged with a friend in London to forward the apples to the King, and a cable message has been received by Mr Moss, in which it was stated that His Majesty had been pleased to accept the gift with thanks, and that the apples had opened up in a very satisfactory condition. The genial president of the association is natu-rally highly pleased that his apples have received such prominence, and that they have been accepted as a gift by Royalty. It is a splendid advertise-ment, not only for the district in which they were grown, but for Australia.

***

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:Sir,With your permission I would like to draw attention in the column of the Standard to a public matter in Somer-ville, that has apparently been lost sight of, but needs attention none the less. I refer to the need of a rubbish tip.

The Shire Council to their credit, be it said, introduced this matter some time ago, and took the initial step towards securing it. Their choice unfortunately met with much opposition, (unwar-ranted in my opinion) from a section of the ratepayers. This had the effect of giving the proposal such a “set-back” that it was eventually allowed to drop altogether. Now, I contend, Sir, this matter needs reviving. A cor-poration tip in a progressive township like Somerville is not only desirable but has become a positive necessity. One has only to walk around the town, more particularly in the vicinity of the Park to find evidences of this. House-holders must occasionally dispose of their accumulated rubbish due to the lack of proper provision being made, they have simply shot the same down at the first convenient spot. Can any-thing I ask, be more unsightly, or sug-gestive of a mild barbaric custom than this? Surely some spot, not too far distant from the town can be secured, that will be voted by at least, a major-ity of those interested, as suitable for the purpose. If so, by all means let it be done, thereby preventing a continu-ance of this untidy and objectionable practice. Yours etc, Resident.

***LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:Sir, A paragraph in your report of the proceedings of the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Coun-cil should give cause for thought-ful consideration on the part of our councillors. They are chosen from our shrewdest men, and, as such, should put their feet down firmly on the to-tal clearing away of the timber on our

roads. Far too many of our roads have been completely cleared of trees, with the result that travellers are exposed to the blasts of every wind that blows, either in summer or winter, there is no shelter on a cleared road, certainly no beauty. The road is no better kept, and it may be said that no useful purpose is served by the timber being removed. Contrast one of these with that portion of the Frankston-Hastings road at Bax-ter’s Flat, and one will immediately see and appreciate the difference. The time of year when Labor Day is cele-brated is now with us, and it should be remembered that not only is the plant-ing of trees a necessity, but also the preservation of them. The Main Roads Board wishes this to be observed. So long life to it, and to the councillors who carry out.its ideas - Yours, etc, Traveller, Somerville.

***AN advertisement in this paper will canvas the whole district for you, and what is more, will secure for you a much better hearing in most cases than you could hope to get yourself, because the ad will reach the peo-ple when they are in a mood to pay respect to your claim; that is, the an-nouncement will be SEEN and READ at a time when people are in the act of reading. And the cost of securing these special advantages is very low, as our rates will prove.

***DON’T borrow your local paper. If you want it, send your name and have it posted to you for 2/6 per quarter.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 20 June 1914

By Stuart McCulloughABDICATE. It’s a word that is seldom pressed into service. Like “sprocket” or “unitard”, it’s one of those terms that rarely intrudes on polite conver-sation.

But all that changed when news broke that King Juan Carlos of Spain was going to vacate the throne. As soon as the breaking news flashed on the screen, I immediately fetched my “In Case of Zombie Apocalypse” backpack and headed straight for the cellar. Which, given that I live in a first floor apartment, came as something of a shock for the downstairs neighbours.

Reacting as though an invasion of the undead had just been announced may seem a touch over the top to some, but it’s not every day that some-one decides to throw caution to the wind and abdicate. Besides, I’ve seen several episodes of Game of Thrones and know for a fact that these things can get very messy, very quickly.

This was no ordinary, run-of-the-mill abdication, either. According to the “breaking news” announcement that ran across the bottom of the televi-sion screen as I searched my backpack for a flare gun, King Juan Carlos was not stepping aside on a mere whim or flight of fancy. He was abdicating, so claimed the television, “for Prince”.

This seemed even more astound-ing. Don’t get me wrong – I have sev-eral of his albums and even watched a good two thirds of Under the Cherry Moon (if, indeed, there is a good two thirds to be had). But it doesn’t mean I’d give him my job. And although, outwardly, it may seem a little odd – if not downright hasty – to step aside

in favour of a five-foot tall musician and undisputed guitar-playing genius, it seems oddly inevitable that this day would come.

Prince Rogers Nelson is no ordinary pop flounce. He’s a bona fide musical icon and virtuoso who would, doubt-less, make a wonderful monarch. Lucky Spain, I say. Although abdica-tion can be something of a shock, you can rest assured that Prince is ready.

In fact, it’s as though he’s been wait-ing for this moment for ages. For dec-ades, Prince has dressed as though he was about to ascend to the throne of something. The crushed velvet suits that were one part Austin Powers and two parts the Scarlet Pimpernel in ‘Sir Percy Blakeney’ mode. The frilliest of

frilly shirts. The elaborate footwear, to say nothing of his enduring fondness for that most regal of colours: purple. Don’t be fooled – Prince is ready.

That said, he is something of a mis-understood genius. There was that pe-riod of time during the nineties when he had a contractual dispute with his record label and changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol.

Which must have made getting a dinner reservation an absolute night-mare. Imagine: our small purple hero rings his favourite restaurant to book a table only to have the maitre de ask ‘under what name’? It would have been the least of his troubles.

He would no longer have been able to label his youghurts “Property of

Prince – Do Not Eat” when he put them in the band fridge. It must have driven him crazy to reach for a tub of low fat mixed berry only to find that the rhythm section had scoffed them earlier in the week.

Most people wrongly thought he was crazy. It’s true that he probably acted a little strange, but maybe he was just hankering for a night out at a decent restaurant and for people to stop stealing his play lunch.

It was during this time that he was christened by a world that cared little for unpronounceable symbols, “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince”. Then, after a time, he changed his name back again. Which, technically speaking, made him “The Artist For-

merly Known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince”. All that is behind him now.

I can’t recall the last such major abdication. I know that King Edward VIII chucked it in to take up with Wal-lis Simpson. To the best of my knowl-edge, old Wallis couldn’t carry a tune in bucket and it was little wonder he had to quit. He left it to his brother to take over. More’s the pity. The world might have been a different place had he stood aside to let Vera Lynn snatch the reins of power. Or, if a regal name was a pre-requisite, perhaps Duke El-lington.

Maybe King Juan Carlos is setting a trend. One in which monarchs bow out in favour of musical royalty. I’d love to see King Phillippe of Belgium step aside and for the Kings of Leon. It’s high time that Queen Margrethe of Denmark took the hint and let Queens of the Stone Age have a preverbial red hot go. Imagine a world where those becoming Australian citizens pledged allegiance to Queen rather than ‘the Queen’ and the whole thing ended with a communal rendition of ‘We Will Rock You’? Rock stars – your moment is now. And it all starts with Spain.

I can just imagine the coronation. The pomp. The ceremony. The blister-ing thirty minute guitar solo that will keep a nation of Spaniards absolutely entranced. Granted, not everyone will love it. But Prince is no stranger to controversy, having released an album of that name as far back as 1981. I, for one, want to wish Prince, the new King of Spain the very best. Long may he purple rain over us.

MEANDERINGS: Depression is one of the dangers of old age according to my son, and he’s rarely wrong, so I re-main wary of this unpredictable illness.

I try sitting on my comfortable fence, reading. 25 years since the Tiananmen Square massacres, unsuspecting, un-armed. I think of the sheep drive to Iraq looking for mysterious hidden weap-ons, another sheep drive for the journey to Afghanistan in search of a bearded fellow and beyond, the Christmas Is-land Manus Island clashes.

Detention facilities for “illegal mari-time arrivals”? An abrogation of our responsibilities? Strong GDP results? I think of Scarlett O’Hara. “I’ll think about that tomorrow.” Maybe next week. Maybe Powerball.

***THE biased football scribes (Gerard Whateley, Robbo, Emma Quale), hun-gry for a Melbourne victory on the Queen’s Birthday, described the hard slog as “boring” but no different to Paul Roos’ early Sydney teams when he coached them to a premiership. It’s all about winning, boys and girls. Bruce McAveney, after St Kilda kicked a goal to lead Collinwood 19 to 8 on Friday 30 May said: “That’s not the start we expected, but I think we’re all pretty happy about it don’t you?” Not all of us Bruce.

***CHRISTOPHER Pyne is a funny look-

ing fellow. His facial glow suggests he just stepped out of a long shower, ever beaming. “Competition will ensure university fees will be kept down.” He cannot believe this, which gives the impression he thinks we are (to use Malcolm Turnbull’s word) demented. We were fed this line way back when our other free advice genius Jeff Ken-nett sold us on cheaper electricity etc due to competition. Never did it work then, never now.

***I COULD pay $200 a week rent on a Greek Island which includes daily cleaning, free wifi, breakfast and a pool with a balcony view of the Aegean Sea. This equates to free rent allowing for the savings of $150 a week on ciga-rettes, no water, electricity charges. My laptop would get the daily newspapers and everything else I need, and I can pay any bills via iphone. Mind you I’d miss the kids every so often, probably a good 5 minutes every month, but we all must make sacrifices.

***THE Yanks are into investigating soft-ware that can spot sarcasm on social media. Bad enough worrying about a knock on the door from the police as a result of forgotten misdeamean-ours without ASIO coming the knock knock. John Clarke (Clarke and Dawe) would be in trouble. Let’s hope the Yanks fail in this one. It’s those forgot-

ten years (20-30) I worry about. ***

IS there such a thing as a third eye? One or two of my friends maintain the truth as to its existence. Haliburton, back in 1447 said: “An artist has more than two eyes.” Johnson said: “The two most en-gaging powers of an author is to make new things familiar, and familiar things new.” Perhaps all artists indeed have this third eye but, in fact, it’s surely about seeing things in a different light. After all, is there ever really anything new in human nature?

***WHERE are the train lines to Avalon, Doncaster and Rowville promised be-fore the 2010 election? One example among many leading to the state elec-tions for Daniel Andrews’ Labor Party, but the idea of Andrews’ push to expel Geoff Shaw was surely a stupid one? For misusing his car? You’ve kept your head down for almost four years Dan-iel. Don’t stuff it up now.

***OK. So I may have had a rough night but nevertheless, I draw out my weekly spending allowance from the hole in the wall ($15) and the lady behind says something about a warning to shield my pin number. I smiled (you can’t get blood out of a stone?) and started to walk away. Her male companion knowingly said to me: “We’re too old to worry about those things.” Speak

for yourself buddy! No doubt a Carlton supporter. As I approach the 10 year mark of living alone I’m coming to terms with the words of John Paul Sa-tre “Hell is other people”. Well, many of them anyway.

***ROUND 11 of AFL football was the indigenous round; one assumes a cel-ebration of the culture and indigenous contribution to AFL football. The Dreamtime game, stories of Michael Long, Nicky Winmar and teams wear-ing specially designed jumpers with an Aboriginal motive, hopefully adding to the battle of taking a stand on racism. On a cynical level, it pumps up attend-ances – money. A relatively big suc-cess for everyone’s benefit. Feelgood stories, including one on Liam Jurrah, currently serving a 12 week stint in an Alice Springs correctional centre for assaulting his partner. We’re all racist. A question of degree.

***I SUPPOSE if they keep repeating it people will eventually see it as a truism. Re: Independent schools have better teachers, get better academic results and teach better values, manners and morals. I would agree on the academic results, doubtful on the better teachers and the “better values, manners and morals” is 100 per cent pie in the sky nonsense.

***“THE Digital Edge” for the Herald-Sun

PerformanceTHE architect of Canadian rock ‘n’ roll, popular CBC Radio One host and founder of Bachman Turner Overdrive, Randy Bachman, has an-nounced the release of Every Song Tells a Story, a CD/DVD set.

The new release will be made avail-able on CD and in both standard defi-nition and Blu-Ray DVD formats.

Recorded in April 2013 at Pantages Playhouse Theatre in Winnipeg, Every Song Tells a Story features Bachman in a rare and intimate setting, weaving together the transcendent and iconic hits of the Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, with the often-hu-morous stories that originally brought the songs to life.

Inspired by his award-winning radio program Vinyl Tap, Bachman takes his master story telling and voluminous musical knowledge on the road and leads fans on a guided journey that en-capsulates the past 30 years of popular music presented by one of the greatest rock legends of our time.

Songs include No Sugar Tonight, American Woman, No Time, Roll On Down the Highway, You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet, Hey You, Takin’ Care Business and more.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive was recently inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame during the 2014 JUNO Awards in their hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Randy Bachman was a member of Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive.

GLOBAL music stars Joel and Benji Madden, known for their band Good Charlotte, have just released the first single from their forthcoming The Madden Brothers album, Greetings From California (Universal)

The single We Are Done is a soulful, 60s inspired tune that they wrote with highly acclaimed producer, Eric Val-entine. There has been a phenomenal response to the single from fans and media alike.

Having already earned a place in history with Good Charlotte’s radio-

ready pop-punk sound captured on such albums as their three-times US platinum (two-times platinum in Aus-tralia) breakthrough The Young and the Hopeless and more than 10 million combined sales from their five albums sold worldwide, Joel and Benji were eager to flex their creative muscles with an entirely new project.

Good Charlotte is an American rock band from Waldorf, Maryland that formed in 1996. Since 1998, the band’s constant members have been lead vo-calist Joel Madden, lead guitarist and back-up vocalist Benji Madden, bass guitarist Paul Thomas, and rhythm gui-tarist and keyboardist Billy Martin.

Their latest drummer and percus-sionist is Dean Butterworth, who has been a member of the band since 2005. The band has released five studio al-bums: Good Charlotte (2000), The

Young and the Hopeless (2002), The Chronicles of Life and Death (2004), Good Morning Revival (2007), and Cardiology (2010), as well as two compilations: Greatest Remixes (2008) and Greatest Hits (2010).

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt Crib Point won its first match in eight years against Sorrento on Saturday.

The Magpies moved back inside the top three after a come from behind thriller against the Sharks at Crib Point Recreation Reserve.

The Magpies have now beaten the two grand finalists of 2013.

After leading for the large majority of the day, the Magpies almost kicked themselves out of it, finishing with 25 scoring shots to just 13.

Crib Point won the game, 5.20 (50) to 7.6 (48).

The Sharks booted the first three goals of the final term to jump to a nine point lead, before the Pies hit back.

Jon Flack booted his third goal for the afternoon to reduce the margin to a couple of points, before skipper Luke Herrington put his side back in front with less than two minutes left on the clock.

The Pies had reason to be nervous with less than 30 seconds left in the match when Sorrento’s Zac Byrns had a set shot, only to hit the post.

Crib Point deserved to win this one.There was a lot of careful planning

that went into the victory according to coach Duane Annable.

“We were lucky enough to get a look at Sorrento last week against Rye and they were super impressive,” said Annable.

“We knew that we needed to be good for long periods to win the match.

“We were all over them for most of the match and deserve to win, however, in the end, we were lucky that we did.”

The Pies had a player pull out from the match during the warm up for personal reasons and went in with just 21 players.

“It’s been a tough week with players getting the flu and a few injured. We went from ten guys missing out on a game with our reserves to every player getting a game,” said Annable.

“Our backs were to the wall a bit but we all just had a dip. Our pressure was fantastic.”

James Forecast was up from the reserves and did a great job on Leigh Poholke, while James Hallahan was also tagged.

“Paul Smith went to Troy Schwarze and did a good job until Troy did a hamstring in the second quarter,” said Annable.

“Zac Dekluever has been very quiet for a few weeks but he did a good job on Ben Schwarze.”

Flack was the best player on the ground with three goals while Jake Bromley continued his outstanding season. Brad Arnold is also fitting in very well in the black and white.

Chris Bagot and Kayle Stringer-Morris were the best of the Sharks.

The win sees Crib Point go four points clear of Sorrento and Rye in

third place. It is the third game they have won this season by less than a goal.

Hastings’ season is still alive after it led all day to beat Pearcedale.

The fired-up Blues have been up and down this season but got away to a flier in the opening term to set up the win with a 23 point lead in ordinary conditions.

Although the Panthers hit back in the second and third quarter, the Blues were awesome in the final 30 minutes, booting six goals to one to win 12.17 (89) to 4.7 (31).

The Blues had nine goal kickers with Steven Robb playing his best senior game for the season with two majors.

Justin Berry was on song, while Josh Mulheron and Dale Alanis were also dominant.

The Panthers have been good in recent weeks but were no match for the Blues on Saturday.

Some questions were asked of the Blues before the game and they responded. Now it’s time to bring that emotion, desire and attitude to every match from here on in.

Aidan Simmons was the best of the Panthers, while Matt Smith in defence also worked hard.

Red Hill returned to the winners list on Saturday, leading all day to thrash Frankston Bombers.

Jarred Eames booted five goals and Sean Holmes produced some of

his best work with four goals to help their side to a 15.12 (102) to 9.6 (60) victory.

Jarryd Douglas also finished with three goals after a few quiet weeks and Jake Mitchell and James McCall played their best games for the season.

The match was effectively over at quarter time when the Hillmen led by 27 points at the change.

Michael Maiorino booted three for the Bombers while Scott Foster, Aaron Hunter and Nathan Phillips in his first senior game were among the votes.

Rosebud’s season is well and truly back on track after it smashed Somerville to the tune of almost 11 goals.

The Buds had so much to prove against the Eagles and there were doubts about their ability to cover the ground as well as their opposition.

However, the home side was dominant from the opening bounce and led by 50 points at half time.

Greg Bentley was the best player on the ground with seven goals while Ben Shultz played his best game for a number of seasons with six majors. A firing Shultz is a scary proposition for opposition clubs. He has booted ten goals in his past two matches.

Ryan Spooner and Brenton Payne also proved why they are two of the best midfielders in the caper and Brad McDonald was excellent against his old club.

Rohan Hogenbirk returned to his best after a season-ending knee injury last season and Jake Ryan continued his good form with two majors.

At three quarter time on Saturday, Devon Meadows was trailing Dromana by just two straight kicks.

Half an hour later, the Tigers had gone on to record a 50 point victory, 11.12 (78) to 3.10 (28).

The Tigers booted six goals to two behinds in the final term, Jay Hutchison, Billy Quigley (two goals) and Ash Waterstone dominating.

Jesse Dehey and Gavin Kerr were the best of the Panthers, while Pat Harmes and Chris Doria worked tirelessly for all four quarters.

Aaron Findlay and Chris Gleeson booted five goals each and Ryan Semmel booted four majors in a best on ground performance for Rye against Tyabb on Saturday.

Ben Holmes and Rhett Sutton were also dominant in the Demons 22.18 (150) to 7.8 (50) victory.

Jake Anderson booted three majors and Rohan West a couple for the Yabbies and were among the team’s best while Justin Volk, Ash Souter and Justin Rowley in his second game were also hard workers for the Yabbies.

The Demons hold down fifth position, four points clear of Hastings, Rosebud and Somerville. The Blues and Buds both have a better percentage than Rye.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntKARINGAL went within a whisker of winning its first game of the season against Seaford on Saturday at the Bull Pit.

Leading from the 10-minute mark of the second quarter, the Bulls looked like they were going to celebrate their first win of the season with just 30 seconds left on the clock.

However, the Tigers went into attack for the final time, the ball spilled off the hands of a pack, fell into the arms of Kane Taylor and he converted to level the scores.

The final siren sounded a split- second after the ball left Taylor’s foot.

It was a disappointing result for the Bulls, who played their best game of footy for the season.

For the Tigers, it was equally as disappointing. Their chance of playing finals now appear to be shot after they won their previous two games.

Karingal coach Stephen Coates said the result felt like a loss.

However, although he was disappointed in the end result, Coates still found positives out of the draw.

“In previous matches, our younger players were having an impact on matches for five minutes here and five minutes there. Now, with greater experience, they are in the game for longer,” said Coates.

“This is where the improvement is coming from. We are able to concentrate for longer periods.

“What we expect now is that the players have some belief in themselves. Seaford has been right in every game this season and we should have beaten them. We placed ourselves in a position to beat them.

“It’s another learning curve for our boys and I don’t think a victory is far away.

“At last now we have some points next to our name,” said Coates.

The Bulls led by 13 points at half time and by three points at three quarter time.

The final score was 10.7 (67) to 9.13 (67).

George Angelopolous was outstanding for the Bulls, racking up 25 touches and a couple of goals in the first half.

Luke Van Raay had the task on Ben Crowe and did a good job. Tom Wilkinson maintained his good form.

Michael Herbert and Kane Taylor were the best of the Tigers.

Frankston YCW went into its match against Langwarrin without its best two players, Ash Eames and Anthony Barry. While one of the best forwards in the game, Scott McLeod, was also missing.

However, it made little difference as the Stonecats humiliated the

Kangaroos on their own turf, winning 12.8 (80) to 5.6 (36).

Tony Lester dominated in his 200th club game (197 in the seconds) while Dale Carroll was left to do as he liked all afternoon with three goals. Dave Bodley also finished with three majors.

Langwarrin premiership player Gerard Brown was back for a one-off appearance from Western Australia, however, had little impact. Dan Wehner was clearly the best of the Kangas, along with Michael Parker.

Langwarrin don’t have a key defender or key forward across half forward and without them, will not be a challenger to the top sides.

The Kangas are the sixth best side in it, behind Bonbeach, YCW, Mornington, Edithvale and Mt Eliza.

The Kangas have now lost four in a row and face Mt Eliza in a season-defining game this weekend.

Mt Eliza got its season back on track with a tough, gritty eight point win against Edithvale–Aspendale.

It was the return of Scott Lockwood that made all the difference, booting six goals in a best on ground display.

Tim Strickland was also back for the Redlegs, as was Sam Gill, while a couple of youngsters who had been playing well previously were also back in the team.

Mark Lillie and Ben Lean, along

with Karl Lombardozzi were significant in the win.

Redlegs coach John Georgiou said “I guess we are back in business”.

“I never like to blame injuries or misfortunes for poor form because that’s just footy, but it was good to get a few back on Saturday,” said Georgiou.

“Lockwood is a jet. A freak!“To get him back, along with a few

others, made a big difference to the way we looked on the footy ground.

“I thought we controlled the game for the most part but struggled to score as freely as Edithvale did.

“They are a very good side and just kept coming at us.”

Edithvale booted the last three goals of the third quarter after the Redlegs lost a couple of players through injury.

Angus Scott kicked three goals in the third quarter for the Eagles and they were able to gain the ascendancy, leading by eight points at the last change.

“We lost a few in the third and they were able to take advantage of us trying to reshuffle and get things going again,” said Georgiou.

“In the last quarter, we were able to win the one on one battles and I thought we fought a bit harder, which was pleasing.”

Mathew Clark played his best game for the Eagles, while Markham Johnson and Timmy Mannix also worked hard.

Pines caused the upset of the season, beating Mornington by a goal, 11.10 (76) to 10.10 (70).

The Pythons were in control of the match for the majority and deserved to get the four points.

Coach Steve Ryan said it was his team’s best four quarter effort for the season.

“There is no doubt the conditions played into our hands and they went into the match with a very big side. It was too big I think,” said Ryan.

“For the first time this year though, our boys didn’t drop in their concentration.

“They have set the standard now in what we can expect in the second half of the season,” he said.

Shaun White booted four goals for the Pythons while Chris Guganovic and Nick Wilcox shone.

Jackson Calder booted five for the Doggies to be their best, while Warwick Miller and Chris Paxino were also fine players.

Bonbeach completed the expected and got the points against Chelsea.

In a tight tussle, the Sharks led by six points, 11 points and 12 points at each break, before winning 7.7 (49) to 4.4 (28).

Gary Carpenter was Bonbeach’s best for the second week on the trot while Zac Graham and Jayden Attard were superb for the Gulls.
