ROSEBUD KITE FESTIVAL 2016

SUNDAY 13TH MARCH 2016

Meet Puff and Stuff the Spectacular Red Dragons THIS year’s festival will see not only feature sky kites, but for the first time includes a land kiting demo. The team of internationally acclaimed kite flyers from across mainland Australia and New Zealand will display above the heads of the crowd, their spectacular maxi kites which include sea creatures such as dolphins, whales, sting rays and octopus together with the red winged dragons and floating astronauts. These giant kites are so large they take a string of runner kites and a team of people to get them in the air and some pretty strong cabling attached to a car or two to keep them anchored to the ground. Flying high in the sky, against a backdrop of blue they never fail to impress.

While on the ground, for the first time at Rosebud, you can enjoy a display of kite buggying. This is where

a kite is used to pull the buggy along a park, beach or dry lake. Whilst the limitations of the Rosebud site will restrict the speed of the display, in an open environment speeds of up to 130km have been recorded. Like the airborne kites, these buggies are purely wind powered and the skill is in catching the wind in the kite to maintain the movement.

Undoubtedly there’s something very special about the Rosebud Kite Festival. Offering a free program of quality kite-inspired entertainment, it has become a quirky celebration of Aussie coastal life. With its iconic location on the Rosebud beach, festival goers will look to both the skyline and shoreline for an impressive array of beautiful kites and fun, family activities.

All ages event THIS ‘all ages’ event has grown to include a host of kids workshops, kite craft, carnival rides, food stalls, ‘come and try’ stand up paddle boarding as well as a full program of live entertainment. The Dreaming Space yellow, circus tent will be back with a program of comedy shows and skills workshops throughout the afternoon, plus, and for the brave at heart, Blacksnake Productions with their wildlife and reptile marquee for some ‘touch and feel’ sessions There are plenty of food stalls throughout the site, but bring a rug, or folding chair and be prepared to stay a few hours, as you won’t be able to tear yourself away from all the activity!

Free entry. Parking available on Village Green and along Pt Nepean Road.

ICE CREAM is a family affair for Kristen and Jack Lowe at Ged Head, a pop-up ice-cream shop due to close on Monday.

The business closure is all part of the plan though since the Lowe family always intended to operate Ged Head for three months over summer to have fun and offer work experience to local youngsters.

Police put Skids off the road Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au POLICE believe three arrests on the Mornington Peninsula are integral to their success in putting the brakes on two groups of hoon drivers regularly hold street drag meetings in Melbourne’s south east.

An 18-year-old Somerville man is among nine arrested in the past week by detectives targeting hoon behaviour in Melbourne’s south-east.

On Monday police arrested and charged a Mornington man, 23, who they describe as “a ringleader” of the South-East Skids.

He has been charged with six counts of reckless conduct endangering serious injury, and other hoon and trafficrelated offences.

A 21 year old Mt Martha man was charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury, driving in a manner dangerous, failing to have proper control of a vehicle, driving in a manner so as to cause loss of trac-

tion and driving in manner to cause unnecessary noise and smoke.

Police say they have now arrested 42 people and seized 21 cars since Operation Regarder began in November.

On Friday police executed search warrants and seized three cars with Inspector Michael Daly saying police had “effectively shut down the South East Skids and Northern Skids hoon groups”.

Crowds of 300-400 people regularly view the events in factory zones, es-

Cnr Springvale Rd & Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights PH: 9773 4453 www.chelseaheightshotel.com.au

pecially in Dandenong, Lynbrook, and Carrum Downs.

A 21-year-old Greensborough man has been charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury and possess explosives.

Police will allege the Mt Martha man was driving a utility in a Dandenong hooning event last September which fish-tailed before hitting and injuring a 21-year-old woman spectator.

The arrests come after two people were killed in January when the ute they were travelling in crashed at

Keilor East. Police believe they had earlier been at an illegal street race.

Inspector Daly, of Dandenong police, said the results showed the taskforce’s dedication to holding hoon drivers to account.

“If these offenders want to treat their cars as weapons then we will, too. We will seize them and keep them as exhibits as we do with any other weapon,” he said.

“Let us be clear, our focus extends beyond the drivers themselves to the spectators.”

Get ready for change in the weather PROPERTY owners and residents of Kingston are being urged to prepare for climate change.

The recently-launched Climate Ready website explains how global warming is caused by people “adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere more quickly than in the past” and provides details on how to create a “climate ready action plan”.

The website is the result on a partnership between the peninsula, Bayside and Kingston councils and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP).

Climate Ready - a website designed to help you better understand how to adapt to the likely impacts and risks of climate change is now available.

“Greenhouse gases have always played a part in Earth’s natural temperature regulation, but this ever growing human activity is putting more pressure on the natural system than it can accommodate,” the website states in its explanation for global warming.

Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said Kingston Council believed the Climate Ready project “will be a useful tool in helping council engage with the broader community and motivate them to create their own interactive, personalised action plans to prepare for the impacts of climate change”.

“My family and I have completed a Climate Ready plan and realise just how many actions we have yet to complete. We are committed to actively working our way through our plan to ensure our home and family are climate ready.”

Climate ready: At the launch of the new climate change website at The Briars, Mt Martha, are Hugh Fraser, left, Kelly Crosthwaite, Carl Cowie, Tamsin Bearsley, James Long, Graham Pittock and David Gibb.

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Graham Pittock said Climate Ready “provides an online solution for residents to understand their climate change risks and start preparing for the future”.

Cr Pittock, Cr Hugh Fraser and the shire’s then renewable resources team leader Jessica Wingad attended last year’s United Nations’ climate change conference in Paris.

Since their return the shire has announced a five-year plan to become “carbon neutral” as well as accepting an invitation to commit to an international Compact of mayors to minimise climate change.

"Climate Ready provides a one-

stop-shop website with easy access to information on preparing for heatwaves, bushfire, drought, flooding and severe storms,” Cr Pittock said in describing the new website.

"Through gaining a better understanding of climate change risks and having an action plan we are much less likely to suffer during events such as heatwave, bushfire or flash flooding," he said.

The action plan is described as being “a step-wise tool that describes the choices available, depending on which climate change risks are most likely to have an effect where you live”.

"Climate Ready, with its action plans and associated community

engagement program, will be an invaluable tool for our community to prepare for the risks climate change is likely to bring," Cr Pittock said.

The Climate Ready plan is at www.climateready.com.au and free consultations are available at the Eco Living Display Centre, The Briars, Mt Martha.

Community workshops on preparing for climate change will be held 6-7pm Thursday 14 April at Seawinds Community Hub, 11a Allambi Av, West Rosebud and 10.30-11.30am Friday 15 April, Hastings Community Hub, 1973 Frankston-Flinders Rd, Hastings. Bookings: climateready.com.au/ workshops

Home zones still unknown Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON is no closer to having council’s requested residential zones approved by the state government almost three years after a statewide consultation with councils across Victoria began.

The independent Residential Zones Standing Advisory Committee, first tasked by the previous Liberal state government to liaise with councils to identify areas to be protected from overdevelopment and areas where more housing can be built, knocked backed Kingston Council’s 2014 request to have more than 75 per cent of the region classed as non-growth areas.

Council was advised to rethink its future housing policy amid concerns by

some councillors that the area has been earmarked for “excessive” development while suburbs such as those in Melbourne’s east are protected from overdevelopment.

In late 2014 former Labor planning spokesman Brian Tee indicated his party would review “botched planning zones imposed on councils” if it won government (‘Game of zones may begin again’, The News 12/11/14) but the Andrews government has shown no inclination to revisit Kingston Council’s submission to have at least three-quarters of the municipality zoned as non-growth Neighbourhood Residential Zone areas.

Labor Planning Minister Richard Wynne has in fact decided, without consultation with Kingston Council, to impose a “discretionary” four-storey

height limit for new housing in central Mentone, contrary to council’s 2013 Mentone Activity Centre Structure Plan that set a “mandatory” four-storey limit (‘Height limit change shock’, The News 23/12/15).

Repeated requests by The News to the Planning Minister’s office asking why the height limit is now discretionary have gone unanswered.

Council took two years to put together the Mentone Activity Centre Structure Plan after community consultation.

Kingston councillors said some residents blamed council for the delay in having new residential zones locked into place but council had followed the consultation and submission process put in place by the state government.

Council still has oversight of individu-

al planning applications and councillors can “call them in” to be debated before approval or rejection.

A new submission to the state government’s Managing Residential Development Advisory Committee will be made

by Kingston Council later this year. A draft submission, lodged at last month’s council meeting by council officers, forecast Kingston can be home to 15,254 new dwellings until the year 2031 and about 64 per cent will be apartments.

Officers stated council “has a pragmatic approach” to the need for more housing as Melbourne’s population rises but would prefer apartments to be mostly built in central activity centres such as Moorabbin, Cheltenham and Southland near public transport hubs.

Pets party on KINGSTON will celebrate its furry, four-legged friends at the annual Pet Expo event on Saturday 2 April from 10am–3pm at Corrigan Oval and the Harold Box Community Centre in Marcus Rd, Dingley.

Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said the Pet Expo was a fun day out for the whole family – and pets are welcome to join in.

“Kingston’s Pet Expo is a fantastic day out to celebrate the positive role pets can play in our community and to promote responsible pet ownership,” Cr Bearsley said.

The Pet Expo features: n free activities including pony rides, live reptile display, face painting and animal farm n entertaining demonstrations including flyball competitions, howling huskies, frisbee catching dogs and ferret races n dog and cat competitions including best-dressed dog/cat, happiest dog and dog/owner lookalike competition (see website for details) n cat breeders show n free microchipping on the day for the first 50 animals (Kingston residents only).

Entry to the Kingston Pet Expo is free. All dogs must be on a leash at all times and cats in a secure cage.

See kingston.vic.gov.au or phone Council on 1300 653 356 to find out if you are eligible for reduced registration fees, as you may need to bring along documents on the day to receive a discount.

Police clamp down Continued from Page 1 Inspector Daly said spectators should not think they were innocent bystanders.

“You’re encouraging dangerous and even deadly behaviour. We are investigating your involvement and will prosecute you,” he said.

“The arrests (Friday) are not the first and they will not be the last.

“The taskforce is not slowing down. We are widening our remit and looking at other hoon groups. No one associated with hoons is exempt.”

Inspector Daly said the arrests were a culmination of months of covert investigation.

“We are now turning our attention to the Friday night drag scene in and around Melbourne’s south east.”

“Our message to these groups is – as long as you behave in a way that endangers peoples’ lives, you’ll continue to be under the scrutiny of police.”

All those arrested have been bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 11 May.

Alves honoured, causes funded CHELSEA and Aspendale Rotary Club members got together at Patterson River Golf Club last Tuesday (1 March) to present funds and awards to deserving causes.

Chelsea Rotary president Ian Button presented former Melbourne and North Melbourne footballer Stan Alves, patron of Menzies Caring for Kids, with a Paul Harris Fellowship, for his work with the under privileged.

The club also presented funds to Longbeach Place’s Julie McAdam and Lorna Stevenson, which will go towards a defibrillator.

Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley presented cheques to Sarah Southgate, of the Lighthouse Foundation and Ken Gooding, of Pantry 5000, made up of money earned at the popular monthly Kingston Farmers’ Market at the Sir William Fry Reserve.

Worthwhile community groups are invited to set up, pack up, manage car parking and collect fees at the 11-year-old market, and then share in the takings.

Police patrol Spending spree curtailed THIEVES used a Patterson Lakes woman’s credit card four times after rifling through her car, overnight, Wednesday 2 March. The woman had left her handbag in her car inside a locked garage in Palm Beach Dr. The Westpac card was used three times at Woolworth’s Ashwood and once at Kmart Burwood for purchases totalling $227. The card was then stopped by the bank, which prevented the thieves using it for three more declined transactions totalling $240.

Anyone with information should call Chelsea police, 8773 3200.

Election ‘not stolen’ from Libs Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE THEFT of about $1.5 million in Liberal Party funds by former state director Damien Mantach did not alter the outcome of the 2014 state election according to opposition leader Matthew Guy. Mr Mantach pleaded guilty last month to a total of 44 charges related to the false printing of invoices and fraudulent expenses billed to the Liberal Party of Victoria over four-and-ahalf years for personal gain.

He used the ill-gotten gains to buy a

car, shares, a cafe and to make mortgage repayments on his Ocean Grove home.

The party was overcharged for printing and Mr Mantach pocketed the difference.

Mr Guy told The Times there had been nothing to indicate that pre-election mail outs had not been posted out to voters in marginal seats such as Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc won by Labor candidates from Liberal incumbents at the 2014 poll.

“I don’t think it would have made a difference to the election result overall,” Mr Guy said when asked about the confirmed theft when he visited

Edithvale train station last month.

“But as you can imagine the party, particularly our rank and file and supporters, are furious about it.”

The Liberal Party realised money was missing during an audit carried out in August last year.

Mr Mantach was the party’s state director, tasked with running the Liberals’ election campaign, from 2011 until he resigned in March last year.

Auditors recovered $466,713 from Mr Mantach.

Mr Mantach, who has been in jail since November last year, will face court again in May.

BURGLARS entered a Banjo Cct, Bonbeach, house, possibly through an unlocked garage, and stole a woman’s black cardigan and handbag, Thursday 3 March. The bag contained four credit cards, driving licence and a quantity of cash. Her husband’s mobile phone and garage remote control were also stolen. The victims, who were upstairs asleep at the time of the robbery, tried using a find-my-phone app but it is ineffective when the phone is switched off. Chelsea police said thieves stole items from several cars in the street earlier in the week.

Anyone with information should call Chelsea police, 8773 3200.

Rude awakening A WOMAN awoke to find the garage attached to her house in Francis St, Mordialloc, engulfed in flames, 6am, Wednesday 2 March. She evacuated and called the fire brigade which ar-

rived quickly but the fire had spread into the roof which fell in at the front of the house. The fire is being treated as accidental, with investigators blaming the spontaneous combustion of a towel containing linseed oil and turps sitting up against a plaster wall.

Passing by A PARKDALE woman returning home saw a man and a woman carrying bags out her driveway. Thinking they were going door-to-door the woman parked her car and then realised her front door was open. The offenders ran off along Eighth St, while the woman rang her son and police.

They believe the thieves used a ladder to climb up and jemmy open a bathroom window, breaking the chain off the window frame. The offenders stole a probationary licence from the son’s bedroom, three laptops and an iPad from a study, and jewellery and perfume from the main bedroom.

They left via the front door where they were spotted by the victim.

Anyone with information should call Mordialloc police, 9588 2988.

Look here POLICE conducting a random vehicle search in Nepean Hwy, Chelsea, allegedly found an unlicensed Frankston man, 19, driving an unregistered car containing drugs of dependence, just after midnight, Wednesday 2 March.

In addition, the man was allegedly in breach of his bail curfew conditions. A consensual search revealed drug paraphernalia and drugs of dependence. The man was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, 28 April.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 9 March 2016

WHEN Kristen and Gerard Lowe saw empty premises in Mordialloc Main St the Parkdale couple took the opportunity to open up a pop-up shop to have some fun but also give something back to the community.

More than 30 youngsters, aged between 15 to 24, have gained paid work experience at Ged’s Head ice-cream shop over the summer months.

“We always liked the idea of having an icecream shop in Mordialloc and when we saw this empty shop right in the middle we couldn’t resist and then it evolved into a training facility,” Kristen said.

Ged Head, named after Gerard’s nickname, opened up just before Christmas and will close its doors for the final time as planned all along after Labour Day Monday (14 March).

“It’s fantastic to do it for a short time and the response we’ve had is amazing. It’s been quite overwhelming,” Kristen said.

“There’s been a great feeling of goodwill although people are pretty happy when they’re in an ice cream shop anyway.”

Some of the shop’s employees have gained jobs as a result of their work at Ged’s Head since they have had a real-life job and a referee for their CV. Kristen says her three children have also enjoyed the pop-up shop.

“It’s been a good experience for them as well and it’s been pretty cool to go to school and say their parents have an ice cream shop.”

Husband Gerard has a life insurance business and is back at the work that pays the bills but Kristen would recommend any budding entrepreneurs or community-minded souls to open a pop-up shop.

“We’ll probably make a small loss at this stage but nothing too dramatic. We reckon if it’s cost us $20 a day over three months that’s OK.” As for the shop’s future, neighbour Main Street Cafe plans to open an Asian fusion restaurant in a few months’ time.

No word yet if ice cream will also be on the menu.

Police patrol Punched for ‘staring’ A 21 YEAR old Morwell man allegedly assaulted a passenger on a Frankston line train whom he accused of “staring” at him.

The offender caught the 5pm train to the city, Wednesday 2 March, after drinking at a Frankston house. He moved carriages before approaching the victim, 57, and allegedly punching him. The victim was assisted off the train at Chelsea by a female passenger. The offender also got off at Chelsea, but got back on and exited the train at Mordialloc, where he allegedly stole items from a supermarket.

Police said he was physically aggressive and resisted arrest.

He was finally subdued by three police, as well as an off-duty officer and the crew of the Chelsea police van. He was cuffed and taken to Moorabbin police station where he was charged with assault and intentionally causing injury and bailed to appear at Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court, 6 May.

Bike nicked A MOTORBIKE valued at $6000 was stolen from a Glenola Rd, Chelsea, house, overnight Sunday 6 March. Police believe the offenders jumped a back fence to gain access to a common driveway. They then jemmied open a rear door to steal the bike, walking it out through the garage.

Laptop stolen AN offender entered a Troy St, Bonbeach house, through an unlocked front door and stole a laptop valued at $2500, overnight Friday 4 March.

The 40 year old victim slept through the raid and heard nothing. Anyone with information should call Kingston CIU, 9556 6111.

Mail theft charges A MAN will face Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, Friday, on 58 charges relating to allegedly stealing mail from apartment blocks throughout the south-eastern suburbs over an extended period.

The Cranbourne man, 30, was arrested at a hotel in the city in January. The charges refer to multiple counts of mail theft, activating credit cards, handling stolen goods and deception.

Detective Senior Constable Amelia Faulkner, of Kingston CIU, will allege the man had eight bags of stolen mail in his possession.

Bogus withdrawals A WOMAN used a bank statement stolen from a mail box at Patterson Lakes to fraudulently obtain cash from five ANZ bank branches – all in the one day.

The woman had attempted a cash withdrawal at a sixth branch – and even asked to take out a loan – but failed the security question and was refused.

Detective Senior Constable Amelia Faulkner, of Kingston CIU, said five sums totalling $32,000 – ranging from $5000-$8000 – were fleeced from branches at Balaclava, Frankston, Elsternwick, South Yarra and Prahran, on Tuesday 23 February.

But the fraudster slipped up at Dandenong and fled, leaving behind a bogus copy of the victim’s licence, which led to her crimes’ discovery.

The woman is described as Caucasian, late 30s, 165-170cm tall, blonde but possibly wearing wigs, wearing an orange top and black leggings.

At another time she was wearing sportswear.

Anyone with information should call Detective Senior Constable Faulkner, 9556 6111.

Balnarring Picnic Racing Club

School holidays just around corner

When we go to the races we all like to back a winner, sometimes however trying find a winner can be a daunting task. There are so many variables. One of those variables is the class of a race, at picnic meetings there are only five classes of races run.

Many people who attend picnic meetings are not sure about the class of various races.

So here is a summary; Race classes at picnic meetings are Maiden. Picnic Trophy 1. Picnic Trophy 2. Picnic Trophy 3, this group of Trophy races are known as Restricted races. The last type of race is called an Open Handicap.

An Open handicap is the highest class of race on the program. Trying to pick the winner of a maiden race can be the hardest of all, simply because all starters have not won a race. So it can be hard to gauge between the horses, whereas in the other four classes listed above there may be previous winners amongst the starters. Winning form is good form. So just to take you through the classes of a race, leaving the maiden race aside.

Creative fun: Abbie Antonia, 10, finger knitting at Cheltenham Library. Picture: Gary Sissons

KINGSTON has the school holidays sorted with a host of activities on offer, including arts workshops, swimming, fun at the library, and an action-packed vacation care program.

The fun is being offered at libraries, Kingston Arts Centre, Waves Leisure Centres and at four local schools.

Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said the holiday activities would help local families care for children during the school breaks. “Come along for a range of fun, active, interesting holiday events suited for kids of all ages,” she said.

“We’ve got great ideas for these school holidays: for families looking for full-day supervised activities, right through to quick activities for just an hour or two.”

Holiday programs run by the council are at Bonbeach, Dingley, and Moorabbin primary schools, and at Aspendale’s Yarrabah school.

Excursions include trampolining, bowling, rock climbing, adventure playground, Collingwood Children’s Farm, plus a host of fun activities, including a cartooning workshop, magic show,

Bollywood day, arts, cooking, and a whole lot more.

Waves Leisure Centre is also running a range of school holiday activities, including a Holiday Swim Intensive Program with daily swimming lessons, fun inflatable sessions and an aqua disco.

Find out more at Kingston.vic.gov.au/leisurecentres Kingston Arts Creative Lounge offers a range of arts-based holiday events ideal for creative kids. Term 1 holiday activities include writing and theatre workshops, artist for a day, learn to be a magician and discover yoga for children.

Details: kingstonarts.com.au or call 9556 4440.

Kingston libraries run a series of free events and activities each school holidays. Visit your local library to enjoy arts, crafts and movies.

Highlights include a slime workshop, minecraft club, electronics workshop plus science experiments with the Fizzle and Pop Show. Bookings are essential. Call 1300 135 668 or visit any Kingston library. Details: kingston.vic.gov.au/ library

The lowest class is a Picnic Trophy 1 horses that compete in these events, have never one a race on the flat that has been worth more than $3000 to the winner. A Picnic Trophy 2 is for horses that have never won more than two races on the flat, and of the two wins neither of them can be worth more than $12000 to the winner.

A Picnic Trophy 3 is for horses that have won no more than three races on the flat, of that their first win can be for any amount. Of the remaining two wins neither of those wins can be worth more than $3000 to the winner.

An Open handicap is open to all horses, so horses in these races tend to be the better preformed horses.

So when assessing the form for a picnic race, a good guide is how many races a horses as won in its career? , And is the horse racing in a lower class this time than its previous race. Often horses at picnic meetings juggle between the various classes, and a horse that finished in the placing at higher class last start may drop back to a lower class.

You will find all of this information in the race book and in the free form guide that is always available on our race days I hope this article helps you find a winner or two at our next meeting.

The Flemington of the Picnics Festival wows with food, wine, music

CROWDS of over 40,000 people enjoyed an action-packed weekend at the annual Mordialloc Food, Wine & Music Festival at the weekend (Saturday 5 March-Sunday 6 March).

“We had a great time being entertained by a huge line up of musicians headlined by breakthrough Melbourne band Bonjah and Aussie music legends Brian Cadd and Grace Knight,” Mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said.

“The festival – at the Peter Scullin Reserve – is the best-attended event in Kingston’s season of festivals. It is renowned for attracting legendary musicians and up-and-coming bands.

“This year’s event was a roaring success with fabulous weather; it was great to see thousands of people enjoying a wonderful weekend.”

FEEDBACK Sooner, the better for sky rail on line Well it seems the major parties are in disagreement again, with the Libs calling for the elevated rail plans to be dumped, and the local Liberals favouring undergrounding the railway.

The Labor state government, committed to fixing our traffic problems, believes that lifting the railway high over the many crossings would be cost effective.

The cost of tunnelling from Mordialloc to Carrum in the bayside primary sand dune, and the cost of defending the tunnel from the high water table, concrete corrosion, and puddling from vibration is overlooked by the tunnel lobby.

The travellers on the elevated railway will enjoy a great view, not locked into a spooky dark tube!

Objectors: instead of frustrating the government on sky rail, how about getting them moving on the long awaited length of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway from Springvale Rd toward Moorabbin?

Les Williams, OAM Edithvale

A person called Daniel, who said he did not live in the area, was asking people for their contact details to join the campaign against sky rail.

On this important issue our community needs to hear the pros and cons of the different sky rail and trench models so we can form soundly based opinions and be taken seriously by government.

Let’s hope this happens at the upcoming series of government consultation meetings in March. Let’s hope people are not discouraged from attending by the South Ward Councillor meeting.

Trevor Shewan, former councillor South Ward

Labor lies?

Re ‘Sky rail dissent rises’, The News 2/3/16: Labor have lied, lied and lied some more. Labor don’t understand what keeping your word means. Labor can’t manage money. They don’t have to find it so who cares right?

And why is Victoria back in this mess? Ask Geoff Shaw and the Liberals...what a circus.

Victoria deserves better than all of this. Over the last six years Victoria has had extremely poor governance.

I think it is time that our esteemed politicians were held personally accountable.

O IT NL S Y AV FE AI W LA BL E

In previous council terms, ward meetings have been run as open forums. The South Ward councillor meeting at Carrum Lifesaving Club last month was packed with community members eager to have their issues discussed and resolved.

Instead, if we wanted to question the two ward councillors David Eden and Tamsin Bearsley (Cr John Ronke was missing again), we were asked to line up and speak one at a time. State representatives also had a busy line, because people would have been waiting until midnight to have their issues heard by the two councillors. Some people walked out in disgust.

This seems to be the pattern for consultation by Kingston Council since they got rid of the village committees. They would rather hear from you individually than in a forum where everyone hears the questions and answers.

The council brochure said councillors wanted to hear community views on grade separations at level crossings, sports facilities and volunteering, but the meeting seemed to have an anti-sky rail agenda.

Mayor Bearsley was keen to discuss sky rail though it was not listed on the brochure. David Davis, the Liberal shadow spokesman for planning and local government, just happened to be there (along with Tim Richardson, Labor MP for Mordialloc and representatives for federal Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus and Carrum Labor MP Sonya Kilkenny).

Pros or con? Any potential plan for sky rail, as part of the state government’s promise to remove eleven level crossings along the Frankston line, is drawing both criticism and support from voters. Picture: Level Crossing Removal Authority

Poles the problem

Re ‘Plea to put more limits on jetskis’, The News 24/2/16: The problem with the poles that Parks Victoria put up in Frankston is that the 5-knot poles are exactly the same as the no boating poles.

You need to go right up to the no boating poles to see the picture of what craft is not allowed in the no boating area.

Most people just assume that all the poles are 5 knots on the beach side so they just ride their jet-ski or drive their boats through the swimmers. The poles need to be different.

Airport grounded?

Re ‘Airport plan takes flight’, The News 2/3/16: Good luck with the red

tape for an airport at Hastings. I was involved in part on the proposal to expand Tooradin years ago.

Other options Let’s look at Tullamarine and Essendon. They both have freeways leading to the airport.

Unless that’s going to happen in Hastings leading to the airport then roads will get congested with traffic.

Matt Ratanga, via Facebook

Fine if no line If they won’t build a train line to Tullamarine then an airport in Hastings is OK with me.

James Robertson, via Facebook

Build it elsewhere The stretch between Tooradin and Koo Wee Rup is a better location for this, but, yes, will definitely be needed in the not to distant future Dora Kambouris, via Facebook

Moorabbin answer?

It’s not a horrible idea if you had the population to support it. The catchment area will not support a passenger airport for a long time.

Ask Virgin or Jetstar if they would fly a daily flight from the peninsula to another Australian or international city. The answer is no. There is no demand now and unlikely to be

INDEPENDENT LIVING FOR OVER 55’S

enough demand in 2050.

Cargo? Why fly cargo to and from Hastings when established facilities cater to airlines from Avalon and Melbourne? Like passengers, there has to be enough daily demand to fill a cargo airplane.

I could maybe see Moorabbin having enough of a catchment to draw on, but not Hastings.

Toby Solak, via Facebook

Noise annoys Ever had a 747 coming in for landing fly over your house?

If not go to Sydney and experience some of their suburbs in the flight paths of some of these jets...oh and if you want to see the value of your property plummet go right ahead then! As for Frankston Council they have no jurisdiction on the Mornington Peninsula. They can get stuffed.

Appeal for witnesses to fatal bike crash FRANKSTON Highway Patrol is appealing for witnesses following a fatal collision in Seaford last week (‘Motorcyclist dies after collision’, The News 2/3/16).

A car and motorcyclist collided on Seaford Rd near the southbound Frankston Freeway on-ramp, 9.30am, Wednesday 24 February.

The rider, 39, of Seaford, died at the scene.

Police are appealing for the driver of a silver or brownish Ford sedan to come forward.

It is believed the driver stopped beside the motorcycle at the Seaford Rd

Saved from the wreckers: The main homestead at Down’s Estate in Seaford will not be demolished. Picture: Gary Sissons

Historic homestead saved HISTORIC farm buildings at Down’s Estate have been saved after Frankston councillors decided to overrule council officers to stop the demolition of the historical homestead in Seaford.

At the latest public council meeting last month councillors unanimously backed the retention of a main farm homestead, formerly occupied by renowned whip and saddlemaker Harry Down, and a large shed on the land.

Council officers had previously recommended all buildings on the council-owned site be knocked down.

A carport, outbuildings, water tank and windmill frame will be demolished since the structures have been assessed as being unsafe.

Down’s Estate Community Working Group chairman Noel Tudball welcomed Frankston Council’s willingness to listen to community

feedback pushing for the historic buildings to be saved.

Councillors agreed to work with the DECWG to establish a steering committee to work on a master plan for the site’s future.

“We are stoked at the decision by the councillors to give conditional permission to proceed and want to thank everyone who has participated in and supported this project over the years,” Mr Tudball said.

“Now the real work can finally start.”

Frankston Council bought the Down’s Estate land in 2007 to ensure the protection of the adjoining RAMSAR-listed Seaford Wetlands and its wildlife.

The site has fallen into disrepair and has been targeted by vandals on several occasions.

“Council was unanimous that all

of the structures identified as unsafe need to be demolished, it supported working with the community working group, to determine long-term plans for the site,” mayor Cr James Dooley said.

“There have been a number of exciting ideas raised about how best to revive and showcase the farmstead.

These include transforming Down’s Estate into an eco-park with an onsite cafe and educational historical tours, similar to the Collingwood Children’s Farm.”

The DECWG steering committee will present a master plan to council in June.

Fencing will be installed at the site to try to stop vandals entering the property.

Neil Walker

and Hartnett Dr intersection soon after the crash.

Leading Senior Constable JulieAnne Newman said police would also like to speak to the drivers of a blue four-wheel-drive and silver Holden station wagon, who assisted at the scene.

Anyone with information or who saw the collision, particularly the drivers who stopped at the scene, should call Frankston Highway Patrol, 8770 4161, or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Snakes spotted in Frankston park Compiled by Melissa Walsh A lady resident of Frankston had a rather exciting time on Sunday last.

While proceeding to church, through the park, she was confronted with two snakes. Though somewhat frightened she pluckily went for the reptiles, and succeeded in killing one with her umbrella, which was smashed in the encounter. The other snake managed to escape. The reptiles were about three feet long. *** THE employees of the Richmond Woollen Mills intend holding their annual picnic in the Frankston Park, on Saturday next, 18th March. *** THE committee of the Moorooduc Sports has decided not to hold sports this year owing to the war and so many of the young men of the district having enlisted. They expect to hold it the following year as usual. *** ENTRIES for the Somerville Show close with the secretary (Mr S. S.Gault) today. The show takes place on Wednesday next, when it is expected there will be a very large entry of fruit, and, given fine weather the attendance should be a record one. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason announce in our advertising columns that arrangements have been completed for the holding of monthly stock sales in the Corporation Yards (Tanti), Mornington, on the third Monday in each month. The first sale

will be held on the 20th inst. *** GENERAL regret is expressed in the district at the death of Robert Scott, only son of Mr and Mrs Erwin, old and highly respected residents of Wells Road, which occurred at Tandarra private hospital, East Melbourne, on Saturday last. The deceased had enlisted some months ago but was discharged on account of the illness to which he succumbed.

His remains were interred in the Burwood cemetery. *** OUR readers are reminded that the sale of Major C. W. Campbell’s magnificent furnishings of Amesfield Park takes place on the property on Monday next. This is a rare opportunity for persons wishing to furnish to get valuable furniture at a reasonable cost.

A complete catalogue consisting of nearly 1000 lots has been published and may be inspected at this office.

In addition to the furnishings there is about 200 sheep, 10 horses, sundry cattle and 100 tons of hay to be sold.

Motor cars and cabs will meet trains at Frankston on morning of sale and convey intending buyers to and from Amesfield Park for 1s 6d per head for motors and 1s per head for cabs. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Council, the usual placid proceedings were marred by Cr Turner, who it appears doubted the secretary’s figures with regard to the finances of the Hastings Park, not

withstanding the latter having given the receipts and disbursemnts for several years past.

The secretary appealed to the chairman to protect him from such remarks as Cr Turner uttered. His books were auditered every year by competent men and his figures had never been doubted before.

The President and other councillors present endorsed what the secretary had said, and the President said that it was very wrong that Cr Turner should endeavor to cast a slur on an officer of the council. Cr Turner said he did not mean to be insulting in his remarks, and only wanted an explanation.

Seeing that it had been taken up in the manner it was he would apologise. The apology was accepted and peace was again restored. *** AT a meeting of the Presbyterian Ladies Guild, held at Miss Betts residence on Friday, March 3rd, Mrs Geo. Shepherd was duly elected President.

It was decided to hold monthly meetings instead of irregular meetings as before.

The Guild was formed some months ago with the idea of raising funds to build a Presbyterian Church, which is much needed in the district, but on account of the war, building with be abandoned for some tine and the Guild will have a chance to work up a good sum of money before building operations commence.

With Mrs Shepherd as President, great things are predicted. A concert

will be held Easter week. *** AT the monthly meeting of theSomerville branch of the Red Cross Society, held on Tuesday evening Feb 29th, it was decided to levy 1s on each member to give a donation to the Y.M.C.A. who have appealed to the local branch for support.

On applying to the central Red Cross Society for permission to donate to this fund, the branch was informed that in their opinion they could not donate to any fund, and that all money collected for the Red Cross must be used for that purpose only. The secretary, Mrs Geo. Shepherd will be pleased to receive 1s levy from all members as early as possible. *** WATER supply scheme - A scheme is to be prepared for the supplying of water to the Flinders Naval Base and to private residents on the Mornington Peninsula. At the conclusion of the State Cabinet meeting on Tuesday the Premier said “Some years back a proposal was put forward for the supplying of water to various seaside towns on the Mornington Peninsula.”

About a year ago, however, the Commonwealth Government found that it would have to provide a large supply of water for the new Flinders naval base on the peninsula, and it was agreed that a combined scheme should be carried out.

The supply, it was suggested, should come from the Bunyip River, but before this could be finally decided on further surveys will have to be made.

The cost of the scheme will probably run from £160,000 to £170,000, and it is a consideration precedent that the Federal authorities will be prepared to make satisfactory arrangements for the rising of the money.

In anticipation that these arrangements will be made Cabinet on Wednesday approved of recommendation by the Water Commission that it be empowered to make survey so as to ascertain the most effetive source of fees with a view to inviting submission to the Federal and local council. The number of towns include Carrum, Seaford, Frankston Somerville, and Mornington. *** AUSTRALIAN Expeditionary Forces.Recruits wanted. every man physically fit is wanted.Conditions of enlistment.

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

WHAT DO OUR VALUES MEAN? ST. JOHN of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital is a Division St. John of God Health Care who: • Employ over 13,000 Caregivers (the name we use for our staff) • Operates 17 hospitals (across Victoria, Western Australia, NSW and New Zealand) • Have an extensive pathology service and • Supports significant outreach services including East Timor and Papua New Guinea.

One of the possible concerns of organisations becoming so large is that they can lose touch with their core values and buckle under the pressure of reaching agreed targets and becoming only a shadow of what they intended to be.

Within St. John of God Health Care we recognise this and so each Division has a Director of Mission.

The Director of Mission is an executive position that sits alongside the CEO, Finance and HR and supports a values-based approach to decision making, strategic thinking and service delivery.

The Director of Mission ensures the values of the organisation are not just printed words on display, but are inherent in the actions and attitudes of each caregiver in our hospital as they go about their daily duties.

Values have a dual role to play.

Not only do they describe what is important to us, the principles to which we aspire, they can also hold us to account.

Taking the positive approach for us in St. John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital - our values invite us to reflect upon our own personal and professional conduct and commit to renewing our intention to be the best we can be within the circumstances we find ourselves.

Our organisational values are: Hospitality – We seek to create a welcoming openness for all Compassion – being with others in their discomfort Respect – treasuring the unique dignity of each person Justice – creating a balanced and fair relationship with all Excellence – providing the best care possible For those of you who have visited our hospital we hope you have experienced our values in action.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The deconstructed corned beef fritter debacle

By Stuart McCullough IT was a ruin; a steaming, smouldering wreck that could not be retrieved.

The hot mess in front of me was supposed to be corned beef fritters.

At best it was an abject failure. At worst, it would be something that anyone who’d ever strolled past the television during a cooking program might describe as ‘deconstructed’.

All the ingredients were present and accounted for; all that was left was for me to pull the whole thing together. It was in this regard that I had failed and failed miserably at that.

Despite my adherence to the recipe, the fritters were determined to break apart. Regardless of the effort I took and despite the abundance of caution I exercised, after mere moments in the fry pan they began to disintegrate.

As the remnants sizzled in front of my eyes, all I could think was: this is a symbol of everything that has gone wrong.

My wife went away for a month.

Having finished one job and not being due to start the next one for a few weeks, she decided to make the most of the opportunity and head overseas.

Having lived with someone for ten years, to have her suddenly absent was extremely disorienting. Not that the full force of it hit me straight away. It began, as these things do, with a trip to the airport. As far as excursions go into the alternative luminescent reality that is Tullamarine, it was a complete triumph. We arrived in the dead of night but in plenty of time, and lined up for the check-in counter along with tennis players who’d just been beaten at the

Australian Open and were understandably keen to leave the country as quickly as possible. After saying our goodbyes, I drove towards home, getting stuck in a traffic jam on the Bolte Bridge at midnight because that’s when they change the light bulbs on the street lamps. I can’t tell you how many road workers it takes to change a light bulb, but I can say that

it involves a really big cherry picker and causes some pretty serious traffic congestion.

In an ideal world, a late night would be followed by a sleep in. But the world is not ideal, especially when it includes a dog that regards not letting her out at 5am as a substantial deprivation of liberty and refuses to be quiet about it. Long before the

sun had shown its face, I was out of bed. Over a period of time, the dog and I have developed something of an understanding: I’ll get up early on weekends if she’ll let me use that time to write. But as I sat at my computer, all was well in my weary world until I thought I heard the sound of paper being torn.

Curious, I got up from my chair to investigate. Walking through the kitchen the sound only got louder. It grew louder still as I walked through the hall to the bedroom. There I found our dog, Fozzie, sitting on the bed and tearing the third volume of Clive James’ memoirs, which I was part way through reading, to pieces.

Personally, it was a book I’d been enjoying very much, and I had no idea that the dog felt otherwise. I wondered whether this act of wanton destruction might, in fact, be the start of her career as a literary critic. More than once in the weeks that followed, I have wondered whether the mess I was picking up in the backyard might, in fact, be Fozzie’s review of the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ series. I’d certainly like to think so.

It was an inauspicious start.

Clearly, the dog and I needed to work a few things out if both of us were to survive the next few weeks – if she could stop eating my books, I would do my best to cease mistaking her dog food pellets for breakfast cereal.

Granted, I realised something was wrong after the first seven or eight spoonfuls, but she seemed to take my innocent mistake quite personally.

Before Kate, I lived by myself for a long time. And given all those years

of practice, I should really good at it.

But a household is a delicate thing, and an absence will inevitably upset the natural balance if not completely disturb the space / time continuum.

The dog was clearly put out; taking any chance she got over the next few weeks to burst into the bedroom in search of Kate or to lie in front of the door in the belief that she would, eventually, have no choice but to emerge.

Meanwhile, we developed a routine in which we went to the park for a walk every day. Once, getting her to walk up the street was a stop-start proposition. Now we set a great pace.

It was at the park that I realised just how friendly our dog is, as she greeted canines and humans with equal enthusiasm. Not that our troubles were at an end. Sensing weakness, the dog took to jumping up on the couch, forcing me to place upturned chairs on the cushions. The end result was a lounge room that looked as if it had a giant porcupine squatting in it.

I had help of course – lots of it. Thanks to the generosity of my mother in law and nephews, the dog was well looked after during the day.

And yet things felt inordinately busy.

As though they might slip off the rails at any give moment. But as I shovelled deconstructed corned beef fritter over my lips, it tasted a lot better than it looks. Perhaps despite the chaos and things not turning out quite how you expect, things can still be all right. Or they’re okay so long as you keep your books out of harm’s way.

I’m sure Clive James would agree. www.stuartmccullough.com

SALTWATER AND REMEMBRANCE

By Andrea Louise Thomas

Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery presents a trio of interesting exhibitions this quarter.

In the foyer is Flowers in the Field - Waiting for the Sunrise.

In the main gallery is Saltwater Country. Also in the main gallery find Australians Will Be There – Victorians in the First World War. Marion Manifold is a printmaker interested in identity and women’s’ body image. In Flowers in the Field - Waiting for Sunrise she recognizes women in the Anzac centenary drawing attention to how women served in the field and at home. Coming from a family with a long service history,

their stories and experiences have always fascinated her.

She is working on a new series of World War One linocuts and will speak at the gallery on May 1.

Saltwater Country is a touring exhibition of contemporary art from Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders showcasing the work of 16 of Queensland’s most acclaimed Indigenous artists.

Saltwater Country refers to Queensland’s coastline, sea and waterways. Artists, Vernon Ah Kee, will speak at the gallery on April 26 about politics, race, ideology and how these issues impact his work.

Australia Will Be There focuses

on historical photographs and personal war stories to piece together the experience of those who lived through WW1.

Tales of triumph and hardship in overseas campaigns and work on the home front offer insights. Exhibition visitors are encouraged to share their own WW1 stories via web link: www.shrine.org.au/ Remembrance/Share-YourStory.

Come to Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery to see these three intriguing exhibitions from 11th March to 1st May. Book in to hear a talk or participate in one of several public programs at MPRG, Civic Reserve, Mornington.

SAFARI MOTEL

By Terri Lee Fatouros With Liam Kealy on Hammond keys rocking it and Dean James producing first-class riffs on lead, the four originals of Nicholas Pearce (sax), Jason Nehill (bass), Neil Richardson (percussion) and Nicole Nehemia (vocals) are paramount in sound. Their panache is making waves at the Heritage 3059 on Sunday, 13th March.

Safari Motel are seeped in soul, funk and blues and combined with their big band sound is really rocking it.

Over the past two years they have been playing regularly at festivals around the state and have attracted a huge and loyal fan base. Their mix of feel-good, high-energy original funk, groove, blues and soul music has earned them a place in the thriving Melbourne music scene as one of its most sought after live acts.

The band performs regularly at many major music festivals including Motor City Music, Echuca Winter Blues, Wangaratta Jazz, Blues Train

and Docklands plus a heap of others.

Recently, these talented musicians were finalists in the MBAS International Blues Challenge and had their debut album in the Top 30 of the Australian Blues and Roots Airplay Chart.

Nehemia’s vocals still hold that intensity of range, and if any change is noticeable after all this time it’s her ability to project her voice; I reckon she could break glass if push came to shove as she can really belt out a song. However, just as easily she can do soft, mellow and sensual lyrics and is perfect as front woman for her band.

Safari Motel are pulling no punches; they’ve got the ingredients to go a long way in this industry, they are the real deal in funky soul and a band to watch out for. Catch them up close and personal in Balnarring at the Heritage 3059 this March – they’ll hit the stage at 3pm on Sunday the 13th.

Eagles fail to soar: Somerville went down to Peninsula Old Boys, letting them into the Grand Final.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

It’s grand for POB, Magpies PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully CRIB Point will play Peninsula Old Boys in the Provincial Grand Final after they won their respective semifinals on the weekend.

Crib Point made light work of beating Baxter, winning the game six wickets down on Sunday.

Peninsula Old Boys knocked over Somerville, picking up the final wicket at 4.30pm on Sunday afternoon to advance to yet another big dance.

It was an impressive performance from the Old Boys, who were well led by ‘old-timer’ Jonny Forrest, who rescued the Old Boys with 58 on Saturday before taking 2/9 off a five over spell. It was that spell that saw Jack Barbour and Brad Rossborough removed within two balls of one another when both looked comfortable at the crease.

However, when they were sent packing, Somerville was in some strife at tea at 5/109.

Earlier in the innings, opening quick Adam Jones got the Old Boys

going with quick wickets.

The Eagles felt they were in the contest at tea, however, Zac Fillipone removed Justin Allsop in the second over after tea and it was all downhill from there.

Somerville were bowled out for 150, chasing POB’s 225.

At one stage in their innings, POB was 2/0 and 5/55, however, Will Crowder scored 24, Glenn Prendergast 23, Forrest 58 and Tom LaBrooy 40.

In the other semi-final Henry Dolphin scored a half century to

set-up Crib Point’s victory against Baxter.

Baxter scored 156 in 77.5 overs on Saturday with Todd Quinn top scoring with 36, Daniel Lanati scoring 32 and Ben Brittain 30. At one stage Baxter was 7/94.

Glenn Barclay and Brad Arnold snared three wickets each.

On Sunday, Baxter was short on bowlers and it showed with Crib Point easing to victory with plenty of overs to spare and four wickets in hand.

Grand Final

Crib Point and POB will face off in this weekend’s grand final at RM Hooper Oval on Graydens Rd. The Magpies hosted POB in round two in the first two day game of the season.

The Old Boys batted first and made 8/301 with Dylan O’Malley scoring 77, Matty Hyden 76 and Will Crowder 58.

In reply, the Magpies were bowled out in the 56th over for 108. Rob Hearn top scored for the Magpies with 30.

Tom Feldgen was the star for the Old Boys with 5/31 off 17 overs.

Panthers to fight with Sharks DISTRICT

By IT Gully PEARCEDALE will be looking for back-to-back flags in this weekend’s District Grand Final after beating Baden Powell on Saturday.

The Panthers won the Sub District Grand Final last season and have been superb in 2015/16 in their first season in District.

While the Panthers were celebrating, it was heads in hands for Red Hill.

In one of the upsets of the season, the 2015/16 dominant side of the competition, Red Hill, were bundled

PAGE 18

out of the premiership race by Flinders.

The Hillmen may have scored 303 against the Sharks in their home and away match earlier in the season, however, they limped to just 160 on Saturday when they batted first.

The Panthers and the Sharks will go head to head this weekend at Mornington’s Alexandra Park.

Red Hill skipper Simon Dart top scored for his side on Saturday with 29.

The Hillmen were bowled out in the 68th over.

Matt Burns was superb for Flinders with 4/36 from 23.2 overs, while Max Royal was equally as impressive with

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 9 March 2016

4/20 from 16 overs.

The Hillmen had their chances in the match on Sunday, however Tom Clements and Simon Parrott put on a solid partnership and got their side over the line.

Down the road at Pearcedale Reserve, the game was a little tighter, Pearcedale winning by just nine runs.

Baden Powell won the toss and batted first on Saturday with Rhys Elmi top scoring with 57, while Ryan Barnett was the only other play to get to double figures with 17. The Braves were bowled out in the 53rd over for 103.

Shane Maggs was the destroyer for the Panthers with 5/36 from 18 overs.

Pearcedale was in real strife at stumps after facing the final 27 overs of the day.

The Panthers resumed on Sunday at 4/38 and while they were far from convincing, were able to get to 112, which was enough to win the match and advance to the grand final.

Baden Powell had another crack and declared at 8/58 before having one last go at the Panthers. Pearcedale were more than happy to bat the overs out.

Grand Final The 2015/16 Grand Finalists met in

Round 7 at BA Cairns Reserve, the first match of 2016 and a one-dayer.

The Sharks batted first and made 8/144 in 40 overs with Andrew Power top scoring with 41 and Mitch Stansborough scoring 33.

Chris Dew took 3/29 for the Panthers.

In reply, Pearcedale was bowled out for 98 in the 35th over.

Will Kennedy top scored with 21, while Matt Burns claimed 3/16, Dwayne Field 2/30 and Blake HoganKeogh 2/26.

Shane Maggs is no doubt the trump card for the Panthers in the grand final.

Dromana fairytale ends SUB-DISTRICT

Bowled out of the finals: Rosebud managed to beat Hastings in their match, securing a grand final berth. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By IT Gully THE fairytale story of Dromana Cricket Club ended abruptly on Sunday at the hands of Frankston YCW in the MPCA Sub District semi-final.

The Hoppers have been the whipping boys of the competition for many seasons, however, with the inclusion of Darren Kerr and Aaron Kaddatz and co, quickly became the glamour team of Sub District in 2015/16.

However, on Sunday afternoon, the Hoppers were soundly beaten by the Stonecats by more than 100 runs.

The Stonecats will face Rosebud in the Grand Final after the Buds smashed Hastings in the other semi-final.

Frankston YCW won the toss and batted first on Saturday, setting Dromana a solid total of 8/233 for victory on Sunday.

Levi McLoughlin-Dore saved his best innings of the season for the semi with 62, while Jack Greenwood scored 47, Kip Mulvogue 38 and Lai Leaunoa 35.

The Hoppers used eight bowlers in a bid to get wickets. Craig Dunlop was the pick of them with 3/28 from 17 overs.

Dromana was 7/91 at tea and was all out for 111.

In the other semi-final between Rosebud and Hastings, once again, it was a game that didn’t reach any great heights.

Like their home and away match

where Rosebud pulled off a reverse outright, it appeared as though the match could head the same way after 14 wickets were lost on the first day.

Rosebud was bowled out for 139 in 61 overs on Saturday after winning the toss. Jason Nagel top scored with 44 and Luke Marshall hit 33. At one stage, Rosebud was 8/62.

Luke Hewitt was outstanding for the Blues with 7/43 from 21.4 overs.

Hastings didn’t fare much better with the bat, struggling to 3/27 after facing the final 19 overs on Saturday.

On Sunday, the Blues were bowled out for just 104.

Rosebud was sent back in but was cruising at 1/62 before the game was called-off.

Grand Final Sub District Grand Finalists Rosebud and Frankston YCW met in Round 3 way back in October 2015 - it was a one-day clash.

The Buds made 5/127 in their 40 overs with Billy Quigley top scoring with 39. Andy Kitson took 2/10 from 10 overs.

In reply, the Stonecats fell seven runs short, scoring 9/120 from 40 overs.

Jack Greenwood top scored with 53 for YCW while Scott Millar claimed 3/33 for the Buds. There were three run-outs.
