The Red Hill Show – there’s nothing like it NOW in its 85th year, the iconic Red Hill Show will be held on Saturday 30 March on the Easter weekend from 8.30am till 5pm. It’s the agricultural show for all the family – there’s something for all ages. Relax and meander around the Red Hill Showgrounds and enjoy all that the show has to offer. Watch the Whip Industries motorbike team perform high-flying tricks over specially designed jumping ramps. Meet Tubby the Robot and baby and marvel at the stiltwalkers skilfully walking among and above the crowd. Wildlife lovers can visit the Butterfly Adventure marquee to see and touch many beautiful fluttering butterflies. Black Snake Productions, a team dedicated to the conservation of Australia’s wildlife, will talk about the plight of endangered species and offer the opportunity to handle reptiles and snakes in a safe environment. Soak up the sights, sounds and smells of the show with many stallholders selling food including rock pizzas, fresh fruit, Danish pastries, cooked prawns, sauces and jams. Sweet tooths can indulge with a range of fudge and nougat. Do you enjoy watching the TV shows MasterChef or My Kitchen Rules? Head to the open judging of the fruitcakes and non-commercial cheeses. Cheese and yoghurt will be tasted and judged by an acclaimed international cheese judge with the coveted title of Champion NonCommercial Cheese of the 2013 Red Hill Show up for grabs. There will also be a sausage-making competition for all snag lovers. And, even though you’re escaping the hustle and bustle of shopping centres for the day to spend time in the fresh open

air, there will be stalls selling clothing, jewellery, outdoor furniture, garden tools, country antiques and collectables. Let’s not forget the two regular crowd favourites – the woodchop competition and kelpie dogs tackling obstacle courses in the main arena. Children are sure to be on the move and can mingle with and pat Animals on the Move to keep them enthralled. Last – but certainly not least – make sure you don’t miss all the fun of the Mornington Peninsula News Group grand parade.

Hotel’s pokies win By Neil Walker EIGHT new electronic gaming machines will be installed at the Cove Hotel in Patterson Lakes despite Kingston Council’s opposition to the move. Council was notified in October 2012 that the Cove Hotel would be applying for eight more gaming machines to be installed at the venue which already has

45 machines. In opposing the application by Melbourne Racing Club Investments, owner of the Cove Hotel, council cited reports highlighting Kingston’s position as being fifth highest of 31 municipalities with regards to gaming machine expenditure per adult. A council community survey found 52

per cent of 236 respondents opposed additional pokies at the Cove. However, the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation approved the hotel’s application for the additional pokie machines on 18 February. Residents opposed to the move were angered when councillors at a special meeting on Tuesday 12 March voted

Council objects but pokies OKed Continued from Page 3 Kingston Residents’ Association president Maureen Lim contacted South Ward Cr David Eden before the council meeting to voice residents’ concerns about the additional pokies and was dismayed at council’s decision not to appeal the decision. “It’s wrong that our council won’t act on this,” Ms Lim said. “Win or lose – you have to stand up for what is right.” Cr Eden was also disappointed that his fellow councillors decided not to advocate against the VCGLR ruling on this occasion. “The detrimental effects of problem gambling are huge,” Cr Eden said. “Council’s anti-gambling policies do not seem to be as strong as in some other municipalities.” However, Cr Tamsin Bearsley stressed council does not support the installation of extra pokies machines in the Kingston municipality but councillors also had to consider the costs involved in any legal challenge to the VCGLR ruling. “It was highly unlikely any appeal would have been successful,” Cr Bearsley said. “There was no precedent for it [a successful challenge] at all and we had to decide whether to spend at least $55,000 of ratepayers’ money.” Cr Bearsley said any future deci-

sions to oppose approvals for additional pokie machines in Kingston would be considered on a case-by-case basis. In making its ruling to approve the Cove Hotel’s application, the VCGLR determined it was “satisfied that the net economic and social impacts of the approval on the well-being of the relevant community will be either neutral or positive”. VCGLR data shows $86,504,008

was spent on gaming machines gambling in the City of Kingston in the 2011-12 financial year, across 17 gaming venues with a total of 944 pokies; $3,214,528 was spent at the Cove Hotel’s 45 machines. The data showed $47,776,000 has been lost by City of Kingston area electronic gaming machines players from July 2012 to January 2013. As part of its successful application

to install the eight machines, the Melbourne Racing Club pledged to donate $10,000 annually to community causes in the Kingston area, in addition to the mandatory 8.33 per cent of gaming machines revenue payable to the state government’s Community Support Fund. MRC Investments CEO Simon Gardner also advised the VCGLR that the hotel would build two community rooms at the venue, costing $150,000, that would be made available free to community groups as a priority between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. Maureen Lim does not believe the community funding alleviates the social impact of problem gambling. “We have got to stop relying on gambling to pay our way,” she said. “It may not be illegal but it is immoral.” Cr Eden agreed the acceptance of the annual $10,000 community funding payment sets a dangerous precedent. “It sends a message that the community can be paid off,” Cr Eden said. The Melbourne Racing Club declined to comment when contacted by The News, claiming it would be inappropriate to do so pending a final deadline of 19 March, at the time of publication, for Kingston Council to have the option to appeal the VCGLR ruling.

Boats boost The recreation boat launching ramp at Patterson River has been reopened after a $430,000 upgrade funded by the Victorian Government. Carrum MP Donna Bauer and state Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith attended the announcement of the reopening of the launch facility. Ms Bauer advised the new 170-metre long berthing section of the boat launching facility has been built to last at least 30 years. The Victorian Government has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Parks Victoria and state recreational fishing body VRFish.

Survey: Internet woes slow business By Neil Walker SLOW internet speeds are causing commercial headaches for Kingston area businesses. A Kingston Council survey has revealed suffering major disruptions to business due to internet unreliability in Braeside’s Woodlands Industrial Estate. Council is campaigning to have key Kingston business precincts, including Woodlands, prioritised during the initial rollout of the National Broadband Network. Mayor Ron Brownlees said Woodlands has many companies dealing with global customers, making fast internet connections an essential business tool. “Initial survey responses are indicating major issues in the Woodlands industrial precinct with some businesses looking to relocate due to the lack of broadband services. This is simply not good enough and will mean businesses take key employment opportunities away from Kingston,” he said. Many businesses have resorted to installing expensive satellite equipment and ad hoc ADSL services in an attempt to feed their need for internet speed. Southern Cross Compressors marketing and IT officer Ben Hall is one of many businesspeople voicing his frustration at slow internet services in the area. “It’s driving us nuts,” he said. “The internet speed is OK in the morning but slows by the afternoon. Telstra advised us the system becomes overloaded.” Southern Cross Compressors sources equipment that compresses air vital to the performance of heavy industrial machines.

Mr Hall said internet speeds became so slow at times that on-road sales staff are unable to access the company’s online system. The company, which has been in Braeside for 17 years, is planning to move to Dandenong South or Keysborough, with a lack of acceptable internet service one of the reasons for the move. “The internet connection drops out several times a day,” Mr Hall said. It is a similar scenario at nearby wrapping designer and manufacturer The Wrapping Paper Company. The company uses an ADSL service with a wireless 3G modem “back up” but struggles to achieve online download speeds of four megabits a second. The NBN will provide download speeds of up to 80 megabits a second. The Wrapping Company CEO Harry Dam said: “We’re an online sales business – our income is derived online.” “It’s vital to be able to communicate with our website and, more importantly, the internet is used as part of our manufacturing process. “We want to be able to offer live online training in the use of our products to our business clients, but it’s impossible with the slow internet speeds we suffer.” Professional photography business Nulab uses “state of the art technology” at its Braeside laboratory with director Michael Warshall unhappy at the impact slow internet speeds and dropouts are having on business.

area means it sometimes takes hours to download a single job order from a client. “This is making us less competitive,” Mr Warshall said. “It’s holding us back.” The NBN project has become mired in controversy amid political bickering between the federal government and the opposition over the initial cost of the $43 billion rollout. The federal government favours connecting the network directly to premises, while the opposition argues a less expensive option connecting the network to local exchanges is sufficient.

NBN Co spokesperson Rhonda Griffin advised The News: “We understand the need for high speed broadband and that many homes and businesses are looking forward to the NBN rollout. We have to plan on the basis of the availability of infrastructure from Telstra – the exchanges and dark fibre links that allow us to build our fibre nodes and connect them to the Points of Interconnect.” We prioritised growth corridors that are likely to contain high numbers of Greenfields sites so that we could, as efficiently as possible, execute on

the new Greenfields policy, and we prioritised links to support our fixed wireless and satellite network so that we can bring high-speed broadband to rural Australia as fast as possible,” Ms Griffin said. “We used optimisation software as part of this process to develop the rollout sequence. Though there are sites due to start construction in the area, Braeside is not within the current rollout schedule which runs to June 2015. We expect to announce a further 12-month of rollout information taking our plans to June 2016 in the near future.”

MORDIALLOC BY THE BAY FESTIVAL

ADVERTISEMENT Heavy rainfall failed to dampen the spirits of those who attended the Mordialloc By The Bay Fine Food and Wine Festival on Saturday 16 March and Sunday 17 March. Good food, live music and fun for all the family was the order of the day, despite festivities ending early at 6.30pm on the Saturday due to the poor weather conditions. However, attendees on the Sunday did not let rain spoil their day with bands scheduled to play on the Saturday evening agreeing to return to perform on the Sunday.

the Bauer Brief March 2013 Glen St Reserve in Aspendale will receive $71,875 in funding, as part of the Victorian Government’s Community Facility Funding Program. The funding will be used to install sports field lighting at the Glen St Reserve, which will provide the Edithvale Aspendale Junior Football Club with a much needed training venue for its 16 teams. Sport and recreation clubs in Carrum are vital to our community, and I am committed to investing in sports facilities that bring even more benefits to the community, encouraging people to get together and get more active, more often in Carrum. Three extra school crossing supervisor subsidies will be funded in Kingston for 201314. Funding for the School Crossing Supervisor Subsidy Scheme has increased to $10.462 million next financial year, up from $9.7 million in 201213. The Kingston City Council has been allocated funding for 65 supervisor subsidies. This is a total funding increase of $18,000. Three extra subsidies have also been announced for Frankston Council, with a funding increase of $14,000. Improving safety around school zones is so important, particularly considering children are our most vulnerable road users. The Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands Discovery Centre will now be open to the public every Sunday. I have raised concerns regarding the limited opening hours of the Discovery Centre, on numerous occasions, and I’m delighted Melbourne Water has now extended the opening hours. Hundreds of students have participated in Melbourne Water’s hands-on sessions about the flora and fauna of the wetlands including the 7,000 birds that make the Ramsar protected wetlands home. The centre’s latest feature, an interactive display, allows visitors to zoom into the wetlands through a high resolution camera, offering a detailed view of the birdlife. An asset to the Carrum community, I’m thrilled that residents will be able to enjoy the centre on a weekly basis. A fortnight ago Ted Baillieu resigned as parliamentary leader of the Liberal Party in his role as Premier of Victoria. Ted was elected as leader of the Party in 2006 and led the Party to an election win in 2010. Denis Napthine is now the 47th Premier of Victoria. As a former Leader of the Party, key Minister in the Kennett Government and for the last two years, the Minister for Racing, Ports, Regional Cities and Major Projects, Premier Napthine has demonstrated an ability to deliver for all Victorians. I look forward to working with Premier Napthine to ensure we continue to strengthen the Victorian economy and build our future.

Mordialloc life savers’ top effort MORDIALLOC Life Saving Club finished second overall at the 2013 Victorian Lifesaving Championships contested at Anglesea Surf Lifesaving Club over the long weekend of 9-10 March. Host club Anglesea capitalised on its home surf advantage to secure victory with 440 points overall. Mordialloc finished in second place on 336 just ahead of Half Moon Bay SLSC, on 334 points. Life Saving Victoria’s Coordinator of Sport Events, Tom Mitchell was impressed with the high level of athleticism and performance from bayside clubs. “The bayside clubs were a real stand out and showed the surf coast clubs they meant business. “Competitors from Mordialloc embraced the chance to battle with the best from across the state to put their lifesaving skills to the test.� Mordialloc Lifesaving Club president Grant Rattenbury hailed the club’s performance as “fantastic�. “It was a real group effort,� he said. The club bettered its fifth place finish at the 2011 Victorian Lifesaving Championships. Almost 1000 athletes from 35 clubsacross Victoria registered to compete in Life Saving Victoria’s pinnacle event of the year, the final state carnival for the 2012-13 season. Emily Carly dominated on the sand winning both the Open and Under-17s women’s beach flags and beach sprint,

events, along with Jake Kelly who won the Under-15s Men’s beach flags and beach sprint contests. “All events were highly contested and competition was both fun and fierce, and conducted in the highest standard of sportsmanship,� Mr Mitchell said. Blue skies and perfect surf only increased the enthusiasm amongst spectators, with family, friends and supporters turning out in droves, to be part of the final state carnival for the season. Over 1600 young athletes will descend on Lorne SLSC for the 2013 Victorian Junior Lifesaving Championships on 23 and 24 March. “It’s the last junior competition of the season and there’s always a massive turnout,� Mr Mitchell said. “The championships provide a fantastic reward for our nippers after a summer of surf education and training sessions, with everyone keen to finish the season with a great result and have a lot of fun. “These competitions are a great way to keep our members enthusiastic about lifesaving and help to really develop the young lifesavers that will be patrolling our beaches in the future.�

Litter traps would cut bay’s rubbish OPINION By Jim Kerin A MELBOURNE City Council report states that each year up to three billion pieces of litter (about 2000 to 3000 tonnes) are washed into Melbourne’s waterways through stormwater drains. The research shows the source of most litter in stormwater comes from shopping centres and strips, markets, on-street collections, tips and recycling depots. A number of major streams feed the lower Yarra River. Inclusive of the Yarra, they drain Melbourne’s suburban north, northwest and east, and include Maribyrnong and Plenty rivers and Merri, Darebin and Gardiners creeks. The streams directly connect to the major underground drains beneath streets and commercial precincts of the north and east to Port Phillip’s central and southern beaches. The main drains and beds and banks of creeks and rivers are managed by Melbourne Water. Once this litter leaves the Yarra, it’s carried by Port Phillip’s predominant clockwise currents south to beaches in the municipalities of Bayside, Kingston, Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. How far it carries is determined by the amount of rain in the Yarra catchment, tidal heights in the Yarra and the strength and duration of northerly winds. Rivers of garbage can be seen in Port Phillip after significant rain events. Each year the four councils spend hundreds of thousands of dollars collecting drift litter from their beaches. The mechanical clean-up removes all material from beaches including natu-

rally deposited vegetable material. This impairs a beach’s natural ability to protect itself from erosion. Additionally, it doesn’t collect the trash that is blown into areas inaccessible to beach cleaning machines. Trash identifiable as originating from the lower Yarra catchment has been found at Brighton and as far south as Blairgowrie. On Sunday, Clean Up Australia Day,

hundreds of residents will again turn out to pick up trash that should have been stopped by municipalities to their north and Melbourne Water. The cost of retrieving this rubbish has been shifted to the municipalities in the south as well as volunteers who walk the beach frequently or who take part in Clean Up Australia Day. Much of this litter can be identified as originating in the cities of Melbourne,

Yarra, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Boroondara and Port Phillip. The impact of litter on Port Philip’s wildlife is not well known, but it is known that seabirds and fish eat plastic rubbish that mimics their food. Large amounts of plastic detritus can be seen at Seaford Beach and other dune systems. Cyclical erosion releases this trapped material, much of which is resistant to ultraviolet degradation. It breaks

into smaller pieces as it is “milled” on the sand by breaking waves. Bayside, Kingston, Frankston, Mornington Peninsula and Dandenong councils have all fitted high-performance centrifugal litter traps to problem drains. The traps remove cigarette butts, syringes and particulates smaller than a match head. But the crucial question is: why don’t the northern Port Phillip and Yarra River municipalities, including the City of Melbourne as well as Melbourne Water, use litter traps to keep their rubbish off our beaches? The answer is the cost of servicing the traps. It’s cheaper to “educate” than provide expensive “end-of-pipe” solutions, meaning it’s cheaper for central and southern Port Phillip councils and their ratepayers to collect litter than stop it at its source. After people have done their bit on Clean Up Australia Day, they might spend a moment venting their displeasure at Environment Minister Ryan Smith, Melbourne’s Lord Mayor Robert Doyle, Melbourne Water chairman Paul Clark and the Victorian Litter Action Alliance whose deliberations are overseen by Sustainability Victoria and whose membership includes the Packaging Stewardship Forum that is against container deposit regulation.  Jim Kerin is a broadcaster and writer

on environment topics, and a former director of the Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation.

In the heat of the night after night after night By Stuart McCullough AIR-conditioning is bad. It devours electricity like Augustus Gloop would an all-you-can-eat buffet and is helping turn this planet into some kind of giant sultana. Short of concreting a national park or strapping gelignite to penguins, it’s possibly the worst thing you can do for the environment. It’s for this reason we have decided not to have air-conditioning in our home. While we often suffer a shortage of cool air, we have, instead, a near endless supply of an air of superiority, of which we make splendid use. Our decision to forsake the benefits of air-conditioning is one I wholly support. Or, at least, one I support most of the time. But after a few days of hot weather, I am pretty much ready to abandon my principles like a cruiseliner captain would his up-turned vessel if it means I can have a decent night’s sleep. Frankly, at this moment I would gladly cut a hole in the ozone with a plastic fork or mow down the entire Amazon in exchange for a little shut-eye. I love autumn. It is, I think, my favourite season of all, with the possible exception of season seven of The West Wing. I love the way the leaves begin to rust before tumbling to the ground, the chill of the morning air and how the weather invites you to stay indoors and pick up a book. But this year autumn’s performance has been far from ideal. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that autumn is letting itself and everybody else down by not being nearly autumn enough. By now, I should have been able to break out the turtleneck a couple of times and

my umbrella should have sipped the seasonal rains on countless occasions. Not this year. Instead, we’re suffering through an Indian summer. I’ve never really understood the expression Indian summer. Whether, much like the expressions Chinese whispers or Dutch oven such turns of phrase are generally considered inappropriate, I don’t know. I hope not. I suppose I can see how a term like Chinese whispers might offend some people but, then again, George Michael’s Carless Whispers is offensive too, although for different reasons. As best as I can make out, the expression Indian summer refers to unseasonably warm weather in Autumn. Apparently, it’s a phrase that’s been in use for a

couple of hundred years and refers to weather conditions that allowed American Indians to launch attacks on European settlements. Or, at least, that’s what the Internet tells me. So far March has been a massive disappointment. When weather forecasters started to claim that we’d be experiencing a week of temperatures above 30 degrees and that, at night, the degrees celsius would remain way over 20, I refused to believe my ears. Clearly, I thought, these forecasters are just trying to frighten us. But their terrifying prophesy of conditions that would be considered extreme even in some parts of hell proved all too accurate. Our apartment is on the first floor

and made of brick. This means that it remains cool for a day or two of hot weather. But then, much the like the aforementioned Dutch oven, it absorbs heat like a sponge and nothing short of an exorcist will get it out. By day three of the heat wave, I had resorted to using cool washcloths in the hope of cooling down. By day four, I started placing items of clothing in the freezer. By day five, my sanity was threatening to slip through my very sweaty fingers. Suddenly, working really long hours seemed to be a great idea, because no one questions airconditioning in an office environment. I would arrive at work to be immediately bathed in cool, cool air. It was then that I began to form a plan to set

up a small bed under my desk, much as George Costanza had once done on Seinfeld. By day six, I had prepared a list of companies that will install air-conditioning at short notice. I feel the environment has betrayed me and it is time to extract some measure of sweet revenge. I care little if it means that near-extinct plant species will now tumble into the history books or delicate ecosystems vanish like a magician’s rabbit. I have been pushed too far and am willing to put my principles, along with myself, in the deep freeze. Farewell arctic shelf, hello temperature control. I’m sure I’ll feel different in a day or two but right now I have been driven to madness – not in a hybrid eco-friendly vehicle but an old-style petrol-guzzling clunker that spews pollution into the atmosphere like a chain smoker. So for those of you who have weakened and succumbed to the temptations of air-conditioning, let me say this: a pox on your beautiful, comfortable, climate-controlled houses, where a good night’s sleep is more than just a dream that you can’t have because you’re unable to enter anything resembling slumber but a gorgeous, chilled reality. Obviously, I despise the choice you’ve made. And I reserve the right to look down the length of my extremely sweaty nose at you in contempt at your frailty. That said, clear out the spare room; because if this heat returns, I’m planning to turn up to your house, night bag in hand, planning to stay a while. www.stuartmccullough.com

A night to remember IT IS difficult to think of a venue more perfect for a wedding than Trofeo Estate. The background of the vines, the splendid surrounds of the cafĂŠ and the rustic style all help to produce an atmosphere of romance and celebration. John and Kate Henshall recently became the first couple to get married at the venue and their families and friends are still talking about the occasion. “It really was a great night, we worked with the couple to deliver what they wanted for their families and friends and that’s what we want to do, tailor what we do to suit those who choose us for their big day – it’s an honour to be chosen, after all,â€? manager Lori Smith said. Lori Smith and her team served the Henshall party canapĂŠs throughout the evening in the

warm, friendly, unpretentious manner that has already become the signature of the Whispering Vines CafĂŠ since it opened last November. The estate really came alive with guests able to take in the music on the lawn while others broke out into smaller parties on the various spaces and verandas that the Estate has to offer. Chef Farid Rachedi provided great food. Rachedi takes pride in creating great food from local produce and can provide the food in formal style or finger food according what the couple want. Many Henshall guests were surprised when told that this was the first wedding held at the estate and were sure it certainly will not be the last. Trofeo Estate is at 85 Harrisons Road, Dromana. Phone (03) 5981 8688.

Old Boys poised for another pennant PROVINCIAL By IT Gully PENINSULA Old Boys is poised to win its second pennant in the past three seasons against Sorrento in MPCA Provincial cricket after 125 overs were played last weekend. In a rain effected first day, POB won the toss and elected to bat. Dylan O’Malley and Brandon Lawler got the Old Boys away to a good start before O’Malley was

dismissed for 31 with the score on 37. Lawler made a very slow 22 and lost a couple of teammates in the process with Eivion Bowen and Glenn Prendergast removed cheaply. When Lawler finally went, courtesy of CJ King, the Old Boys were in some strife at 4/71. Wade Pelzer (15), Jon Forrest (26) and Trevor Johnston (59) gave the score some respectibility. Johnston, together with number 11

Adam Gailitis (9no), added 53 for the final wicket to get the Old Boys to 197 off 100.4 overs. AJ King claimed two wickets for the Sharks, while David Smith was the pick of the Sorrento bowlers with four wickets. Nick Davern and Anthony Blackwell also snared a wicket each. Batting the final 25 overs of the afternoon, Sorrento crumbled to 4/38, including the runout of Blackwell and

the two openers, Mick Dunball and Jedd Falck. Zac Fillipone claimed 2/14 off nine overs while Adam Jones snared 1/18 off 10 for the Old Boys Nick Jewell will resume at the crease for the Sharks this Saturday at Mornington’s Alexandra Park and is the only player standing in the way of a Peninsula Old Boys victory. In the Provincial Seconds, Mt Martha got the job done against Mt Eliza. Mt Martha made 170 after number

nine batsman Brad Schruder topscored with 40. Ben Gavine was the pick of the Mounties bowlers with 4/59. In reply, Mt Eliza was bowled out for 107, despite 60 runs from the bat of Luke Marshall. Schreuder capped-off a wonderful day snaring 5/28 from 15 overs. He clean bowled Marshall and Matt O’Brien and had three others caught behind.

Revenge is so sweet for Langwarrin DISTRICT By IT Gully LANGWARRIN avenged its past two grand final losses with a dominant performance against Somerville in the District grand final at Pines last weekend. The Kangas went into the match having lost the past two grand finals against Hastings and Mt Eliza. Without question, all of the pressure was on Langwarrin, given it was the best side all year and was coming-off previous disappointments. For Somerville, as skipper Andrew West said, “every match over the past two months has been a grand final”. They were accustomed to the pressure. The Kangas had some wiser heads in the team with the inclusion of coach Mark Cooper, spin king Dwayne Doig and club legend Danny Weare. It appeared to be the ingredient that the side had been missing. Langwarrin bowled first at Eric Bell Reserve and the Eagles got away to a good start, being 0/40 at one stage early in the match. However, as the rain threatened, Doig and opening quick Ben Johnson snared four wickets to have the Eagles in some strife at 4/58. The dangerous Keith Burdett and Ben Delaney were back in the shed. Rain eventually stopped play midafternoon on the Saturday. Play start at noon on Sunday and

things went from bad to worse for the Eagles. Wickets fell quickly, courtesy of Johnson, who was crowned man of the man after finishing with figures of 5/20 from eight overs. Aaron Kaddatz helped the score past 100 for the Eagles after some big hitting. However, 111 was never going to be enough after batting just 58 overs. The Kangas started the chase reasonably well, although it lost Simon McEvoy for 10. David Ross joined Mark Cooper at the crease and the pair got the score close to 100 before Cooper was dismissed for 37. Weare then joined Ross and the pair took the score to 116 before the Somerville leaders gathered to discuss the future of the match. Eventually, with Ross on 57 and Weare on eight and Langwarrin 2/116, the Eagles conceded the match. It was justice for the Kangas, who were relegated to District after being beaten by Somerville in the final round four seasons ago. Danny Weare retired after that match. He returned four seasons later to help steer his club to victory and back to Provincial ranks. Weare, along with Mal Coutts and Simon McEvoy, have played together in the club’s past four First XI flags. Langwarrin’s Second XI also won the premiership, beating Delacombe Park by 182 runs. Jarrod Coad scored

116 and Alan Davie an unbeaten 93. Alex Coad and Damien Wust each took four wickets. On another positive note, Langwarrin CC legends Barry Coutts and Rick Noldte celebrated their first flag in 20 years after winning the Sixth XI pennant.

Tigers set to pounce SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully SEAFORD Tigers is on the verge of causing a massive upset against Red Hill in the Sub District Grand Final. Like the Provincial and District grand finals, this match too at Dromana Reserve was hampered by the rain. The Hillmen won the toss and naturally batted, losing its first two wickets before the score had reached 40. Skipper Simon Dart batted at three and topscored with 50. However, the rate in which the runs came was not overly quick. Dart had some support in Matt Merifield (29) and Nick Esipoff, as he has done so many times in his career, made a solid contribution at the end of the innings with 25. Owen McKillop (17) and Andrew Brown (18) also got starts for the Hillmen. Red Hill made 197 in 84.5 overs.

League medal winner Corey Hand claimed four wickets for the Tigers, while Tom Burgdorf also picked-up four wickets. In reply on Sunday, the Tigers managed to get within 34 runs of victory with six wickets in hand. Dale O’Neil left the arena when the score was one, courtesy of a slips catch to Andrew Brown off the bowling of Ross Corfield. However, the Tigers dug deep at that point. Gavin Whyte made 49, Mark Carroll hit 30 and Dave James helped himself to 29 to push the score to 123 for the loss of four wickets. Corey Hand and Ash Mills were both not out 18 when stumps were drawn late on Sunday. Corfield had claimed 2/27 and Dart and Glenn Collett one wicket each. With just 34 needed for victory, the game will be over before lunch this Saturday, the Tigers heading for District ranks, while the Hillmen let yet another opportunity slip.

Wallace Memorial Cup all set for Langy By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN soccer club will host the inaugural Steve Wallace Memorial Cup at Lawton Park on Saturday 23 March. The round robin event will feature eight local teams split into two groups and commemorates the contribution to the sport of much-loved peninsula soccer icon Steve Wallace. It also will serve as a fundraiser for the Royal Melbourne Hospital’s intensive care unit where Wallace was treated. Langwarrin, Frankston Pines, Seaford United and Baxter are in Group A while Mornington, Cranbourne, Peninsula Strikers and Skye United are in Group B. The first three rounds will consist of 20-minute halves with a 10-minute half-time break. The final is scheduled for 3.30pm and will be contested over two 30-minute halves. The tournament starts at 10am and all teams are expected to be at the

venue for 9.15am to access the change rooms and conduct pre-match warmups. Stephen William Wallace was 54 when he died on 19 July 2011. He was a former Langwarrin player, coach, president, life member, club council representative and Bayside League referee. “Big Wal”, as he was affectionately known, strode the soccer stage on the peninsula with aplomb for three decades. He arrived in Australia from Rathcoole in Newtonabbey in Northern Ireland in the early 1980s. His brother-in-law Eddie Donald introduced him to Langwarrin Soccer Club. It was the start of a relationship between Wallace and the club that quickly turned into an obsession. Wallace was an inaugural member of a council liaison committee formed a few years ago to represent every soccer club in Frankston City. He could have been excused for being parochial by simply concentrating on promoting his own club’s ambition

but Wallace saw the big picture and understood the power of collective bargaining. The liaison committee played a pivotal role in some serious council and state government money being approved for ground and pavilion improvements throughout the area, none more so than the $1.2 million grant given to Baxter Soccer Club that transformed its old pavilion into impressive clubrooms. Wallace also was co-founder of the Bayside sub-junior leagues along with Baxter president Colin Nicholson. “Overall it’s all about getting the local clubs together and just participating in the name of a man that meant so much to the peninsula soccer leagues,” Wallace’s daughter Tanya said. “We plan to run the cup every year at about the same time and hope the local clubs will continue to participate and show their support. “The response we have received for the inaugural event is really encouraging and we want to thank all

the clubs for taking part. It means a lot to us.” Meanwhile, local clubs start their league season on Saturday 6 April and the opening round of matches will be previewed in the next edition. There has been a major league restructure during the off-season that has resulted in the Provisional Leagues being scrapped. There is now one State League One, two State League Two divisions (southeast and northwest), two State League Three divisions (southeast and northwest), four State League Four divisions (south, north, east and west) and four State League Five divisions (south, north, east and west). The revamp has seen Seaford United and Skye United placed in State League Four South and Baxter in State League Five South. All four champions in State League Four will gain automatic promotion to State League Three. The runners-up will feature in play-offs involving the tenth-placed teams in both State League Three divisions.

A fitting finale for Black Caviar THE William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley is a perfect fit for Black Caviar in the final days of her amazing racing career. As well as racing for the $400,000 prize money before a crowd of 30,000 or so Black Caviar will have the benefit of galloping on the Valley’s Strathy surface. Over the years since its installation in 1995 the Strathy has been renowned as a forgiving surface. This will help ease the stress and strain on Black Caviar’s delicate forelegs as she progresses towards farewell appearances in Sydney and possibly Brisbane. The super star has already demonstrated her liking for the surface with five of her 23 wins being at the Valley. These have been in the 2011 William Reid Stakes and two runnings of the Moor Stakes and Australia Stakes. And her last race in Melbourne before her adoring fans should certainly bring up yet another victory. The atmosphere surrounding Black Caviar will be intensified as she finishes off the race before the packed

stands which almost encroach onto the racecourse at the Valley. Judging by her record-breaking win in the Lightning Stakes the champion is certainly as good as ever despite her six years. Interestingly, this time her main opposition is expected to come from two interstaters - Perth’s Luckygray and Brisbane’s Spirit Of Boom. The winner of 12 races Luckygray has won twice at the elite level while Spirit Of Boom has been placed in two Group 1 sprints so they have certainly proven their ability. ***

THE trend towards importing stayers from the Northern Hemisphere received another recommendation when Jet Away won the $150,000 Golden Mile at Bendigo on Saturday. The six-year-old, trained by David Hayes, was making his Australian debut and was most impressive in the way he cruised by his rivals in the final stages. Jet Away’s victory follows the success of Green Moon in last year’s Melbourne Cup, while other imports such as December Draw, Fiorente, Glass Harmonium, Lucas Cranach, Manighar, Mawingo, Mourayan, Our

Kingdom Of Fife and 2013 Melbourne Cup favourite Puisance Du Lune have also made their presence felt. Jet Away entered the Hayes stable with some notable performances behind him. Among them was a second to Hunters Light in the Group 3 Lancaster Stakes (2000m) at Haydock Park and a victory over Melbourne Cup runner-up Fiorente in a listed race at Goodwood. The effort behind Hunters Light has subsequently been enhanced. Hunters Light went on to win a Group 1 in Italy and after consecutive win in Dubai he is now one of the favourites for the $10m Dubai World Cup on 30 March. On that basis the plan Hayes has set Jet Away for this year’s Caulfield Cup (2400m) seems to be based on a solid foundation. Hayes also has feature race ambitions for the lightly-raced threeyear-old Gerontius, who was fourth in the Alister Clark Stakes at Moonee Valley. He suffered interference in running and his effort didn’t dampen the South Australian Derby hopes he has for the gelding. Philippi, who is trained at Cranbourne by Michael Kent, finished powerfully for second in the Alister Clark and is also headed for the Derby at Morphettville.

Like Gerontius, Philippi is lightly raced with his six starts yielding three wins. All along he has indicated that the further he goes the better he will be and 2500m Derby distance will suit him ideally. Leading Peninsula identity Jonathan Munz appears to have a coming winner in Kincaple Chief, a brother to the handy stayer Kincaple. Kincaple Chief, who is prepared at Flemington by David Hayes, came from last to finish fifth over 1200m at Moonee Valley at his debut. Taking a line through that run Hayes should be able to find a suitable race over a longer distance in the near future. Another coming winner is looming in the Mark Kavanagh-trained Sweetener. A former smart juvenile the fouryear-old mare has met with traffic problems at its two starts back from a break and should pick up a race over the Easter weekend. Former South Australian Go The Knuckle is ready to win judging on his barnstorming second at Moonee Valley last Friday. A Group 2 winner when trained in Adelaide, Go The Knuckle was having his fifth start for the astute Robert Smerdon stable and will no doubt be placed to advantage in the weeks ahead. Best: Go The Knuckle
