ROSEBUD KITE FESTIVAL 2017

SUNDAY 12TH MARCH 2017

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no wait... it’s a kite! IT’S a telling sign in today’s high tech, fast paced world that people take such pleasure from the simple act of flying a kite. Now in it’s 14th year, the much-loved Rosebud Kite Festival has grown from small beginnings to be among Australia’s largest kite flying events. Powered by coastal sea breezes the super-sized inflatables known as Maxi’s, some measuring up to 12 meters in diameter, are back leading the flight program again in 2017. These giants of the kite world are made using colourful fabric construction that catch wind in the folds of their intricate design. Flying tens of meters high above the

foreshore in Rosebud, they are tethered back to the earth with multiple wires and weights that counter the huge lift forces they generate. Not for the faint hearted, it takes a great deal of skill and experience to keep these Maxi’s aloft. On March 12th, Rosebud will host an internationally recognised team of professional kite makers, including Craig Hansen from Peter Lynn Kites and Jo Baker recently back from representing Australia in India’s most iconic Kite Festival, as well as some of our best known kite makers from around the country. They’ll be unfurling a store of animated creations including;

a giant spotted Whale Shark, Flying Pig, and Winged Dragon as well as a new abstract lattice inflatable from students at the faculty of Digital Architecture at Melbourne University, and many more deltas, diamonds, parafoils and stunt kites. Along with the kite flying program, this FREE FAMILY FESTIVAL offers a program of live music and entertainment, performing artists, circus workshops and storytelling, kite making workshops, kids rides, food stalls, community demonstrations and all things fun under the sun (see website for full program) http://rosebudkitefestival.com.au.

KITE Flying in Australia isn’t as well practiced as it is in many Asian countries but perhaps it should be. After all, Australia’s historical association with kite flying is quite remarkable. It includes the likes of Lawrence Hargrave, previously featured on our $20 note, who gave The Wright brothers the right idea when he invented the box kite in late 1800s and helped them discover the secrets of flight.

As special guest of India’s Gajurat Tourism, Peninsula locals Jo and Trent Baker, were part of a 30 strong international delegation that recently participated in an all-expenses paid tour of Gajurat kicking off with the International Kite Flying Festival of Ahmedabad. They’ve been invited as dignitaries to kite festivals all over the world including: China, India, Guam, Kuwait, United States, Thailand, Cambodia and Bali.

In Australia, we don’t consider kite flying to be more than a hobby for a few select enthusiasts but in other parts of the world kite flying is a considered a national sport. One such country is India, where kite flying and kite making forms part of a local cottage industry. They use glass covered strings attached to the kites in a serious game of skill, with the winner prizing his opponents kite (as portrayed in the kite runner).

And now visitors will be able to meet these very same kite flyers at Rosebud! Also attending is Craig Hansen of New Zealand and Peter Lynn Kites (makers of the world’s largest kite), Ian Burrell from Canberra and Melbourne University’s faculty of Architecture, who’ll be flying their huge inflatable Maxi kites for all to enjoy.

shower services for homeless Australians. If you’ve heard about this amazing project and you’d like to show your support, you can come along to the Rosebud Kite Festival and

purchase a bottle of ‘Love Out Loud’ branded water: the sales and profits will help restore dignity to Australians dealing with homelessness.

Artists left without studio Fran Henke team@baysidenews.com.au AFTER 31 years of tuition, demonstrations and exhibitions, McClelland Guild of Artists is being shown the door by its landlords – McClelland Gallery Trustees. Gallery director John Cunningham met representatives of the artists’ guilds on Studio Park, Langwarrin in February to advise their time was up. McClelland Gallery and Sculpture

Park has been home since the 1970s to guilds of artists, lapidarists, spinners, weavers and woodturners, bringing thousands of students and practitioners of each discipline through the gallery gates. The guilds are now looking at options to move or amalgamate with other societies. They occupy modest premises on Studio Park under five-year licences. Artists guild president Richard Hall says his committee “is completely gutted by what has transpired – we will be out

of business in a month”. “Six-hundred odd members of four different guilds are looking for new homes because, an unfunded not for profit gallery is now looking for money making opportunities,” Mr Hall said. It is understood that the gallery wants to use the guild’s renovated studio as an education centre because its own centre is not suitable. While artists and lapidarists have been told their licences won’t be extended from June 2017, woodturners and weav-

ers have been given an extra 12 months. The founding trustees of the gallery introduced the concept of community studios in the grounds in the 1970s. Potters, painters, spinners and weavers settled into what shedding was available, followed by lapidarists and woodturners, who built studios. With the support of five times Archibald Prize winner Sir William Dargie who was chairman of trustees in 1985, a grant from the arts ministry allowed painters to improve their shed. In 2005, in need of

more room for workshops and storage, with support from then gallery director Simon Ambrose, the artists’ guild raised $35,000 from government grants, benefactors and members to almost double the space. It is these improved premises the gallery is seeking to take over, said Mr Hall. The guild has been offering tuition in drawing, watercolour, acrylics and multi-media, as well as scholarships for the popular children’s classes for more than 35 years. Continued Page 2

Artists moved on from gallery space Continued from Page 1 The location of McClelland Gallery on McClelland Drive, Langwarrin was the site of the bohemian Harry McClelland’s painting studio. His sister, Annie May bequeathed the land and holdings to honour her brother’s memory by establishing the Harry McClelland Art Gallery and Cultural Hall. The gallery opened in 1971. Harry's studio is still in the grounds. “At the meeting [with Mr Cunningham] we discussed the symbiotic relationship between the gallery and our studio. Then he dropped the bombshell. They believe they have a legal right to ask us to leave and they are exercising that right”, Mr Hall said. “Sadly, the reality is that with the time frame given, we cannot continue to run classes after this term. Most activities will have to cease by May as we have to deliver vacant possession of the property. “We are effectively out of business in a month if no suitable alternative is found. Our only chance in my opinion, is rather than having government or council looking at alternatives, they place enough funding with the gallery to force the continuation of what is currently there.” Gallery director John Cunningham did not respond to questions by deadline. • Fran Henke is a past president of McClelland Guild of Artists.

Prepare for grassfire If you live in a suburb near grasslands, you’re at risk of fire. If you live directly next to parks or paddocks and a grassfire starts, walk at least two streets back. If you live two or more streets away, stay where you are, grassfires are unlikely to spread into built up areas. Stay alert and monitor conditions. Don’t drive, visibility may be poor, accidents are likely, and you could block emergency services.

Authorised by the Victorian Government, 1 Treasury Place, Melbourne

Bid to stunt growth of ‘garden estate’ Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au RESIDENTS of a historicallysignificant “garden” suburb in Mt Eliza have launched a legal challenge to protect the character of the estate amid fears protection overlays are being watered down. The Ranelagh Residents Association has lodged an appeal with the Victorian Civil and Administrative and Tribunal over a planning application for a multi-storey house in Rendlesham Av. Houses in the tightly-held bayside Ranelagh Estate, a 1920s, 800-lot residential subdivision designed as a “seaside garden estate” by American landscape architect Walter Burley Griffin, are subject to covenants that allow one dwelling on each allotment to retain the neighbourhood character and prevent over-development. But the association’s members are angry that the suburb’s unique character and heritage values are being eroded as older houses are demolished and Mornington Peninsula Shire allows new, larger houses that go against Griffin’s original vision for “unassuming houses that are embedded in natural landscape” . Association president Victoria Grounds, who co-wrote the book Ranelagh A Special Place, and whose father Sir Roy Grounds (1905-1981) designed some of Australia’s finest properties, said development was happening all over the estate, often with “no thought” to protecting the neighbourhood character.

Ranelagh Estate residents Victoria Grounds and Leigh Eustace want developers and the council to recognise the Ranelagh Estate’s heritage significance. Picture: Yanni

“This is not in the middle of the western suburbs, but the mantra of developers seems to be build it, sell it, move on.” Another resident and former councillor, Leigh Eustace, said the trend to

bigger houses, with little or no space for a garden, was changing the character of some parts of the estate. “It is critical that the council observes the integrity of the Walter Burley Griffin concept for the estate,

it is heritage listed and one of only two in the state,” he said. The “garden suburb” was a product of early Melbourne planning reforms with a street pattern that broke the hegemony of a grid, discouraged through-traffic, and plenty of land for parks and gardens and other public uses. In 2005, Ranelagh was listed on the Victorian Heritage Register as a significant example of the design, with its “distinctive long curved roads, recreation reserves, internal reserves, communal facilities and “spacious triangular traffic islands”. The emphasis on retaining the natural environment and principles of space and community were described as “ahead of their time”. In 1997, it was classified by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) and is listed as an “indicative place” on the Australian Heritage Database. Despite attempts by developers in the past few decades to carve up the larger blocks for multi-dwellings, the estate has retained much of its original seaside resort character and “country club” feel. It is home to the Ranelagh Club, which promotes its “private access to the beach, a range of sporting and leisure activities and a

vibrant club house”. Ms Grounds, an architect, said the association’s VCAT appeal is based on several grounds, including that the Rendlesham development being “inappropriate” and contradicts the shire’s own planning scheme framework and the design and development overlay (DDO3). The application contends that the development will result in “visual bulk”, which is contrary to the neighbourhood character of the area and “will irrevocably alter the character of the area”. Ms Grounds said the association wanted to raise the profile of the estate’s cultural and heritage significance so that all residents, developers and the council recognised the need to “respect” the estate’s heritage values, one of only two Griffin designed in Melbourne. The shire produced a conservation management plan for the estate in 2009, which recognised Griffin’s plans for the Ranelagh Estate to be “the ideal of community living”. It noted that the trend toward larger houses and the “cumulative” effect of development and vegetation loss had caused a loss of some of its original character as a seaside resort and country club estate. Mornington Peninsula Shire did not respond to requests for comment. Ms Grounds will give a talk on the history of the Ranelagh Estate at Mornington Library, 2pm Wednesday 22 March. The talk will feature stories from the book, Ranelagh: A special Place.

NEWS DESK Police patrol Storage units robbed FRANKSTON detectives are investigating a burglary at storage units in Seaford last month. Three men in a stolen silver Mazda Protege forced open doors on several units in Hi-Tech Place and stole various items, 6.40am, Sunday 19 February. Police have since recovered the car. Police media officer Luke Zammit said one of the men was Caucasian, in his 20s, with a solid build and short hair. He was wearing black pants with white branding and a white long-sleeved shirt. Another man, also in his 20s, was wearing a grey hoodie with a dark logo and red cap. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit crimestoppersvic.com.au online.

Party’s over GATECRASHERS caused havoc at the end of a 17-year-old’s birthday party in Carrum Downs last weekend. Police said they provoked skirmishes with up to 200 party-goers as they left the party in the Malibu Circuit factory belt around 11.15pm, Friday 24 February. A group of three friends were assaulted in one incident and a mobile phone stolen after threats were made. Detective Sergeant Gary Richards, of Frankston CIU, said more than 30 police attended the scene which “tied up scarce resources”.

Injured man found in street A MAN found lying face down in the gutter in a Seaford street last week had bruising and cuts to his face and “significant” injuries to his left thigh, 10.20pm, Friday 24 February. Detective Sergeant Gary Richards, of

IT’S fabulous to be over 50 in Frankston according to the 160 energetic members of the ‘Frankston Fabulous 50s’ swimming group. The club, which runs weekly aqua aerobics sessions in PARC’s hydrotherapy pool, was recognised at this month’s public council meeting by Frankston Council for its commitment to “community connectedness” and ongoing efforts to keep members active and engaged with the community. Club president Judy Laux said the club was “delighted” to be thanked by the council, after 35 years of uniting Frankston’s older residents through fitness, social activities and friendship. “It means a lot that the club is recognised for the valuable contribution it makes to the lives of people over 50,” she said. Ms Laux said she joined the club 18 years ago and had instantly “found a new reason to get out of the house”. “At that time I was in a bit of a rut, I was a bit lonely and disconnected from the community and didn’t have much reason to socialise until a friend suggested I have a go at swimming with the fabulous 50s,” she said. “Well, it’s been a godsend. It saved my life.”

Ms Laux said she loved the friendliness of the club and the variety of social events based around club life. The club welcomes all people over 50, and there is no age limit, with the majority of members over 70, and the oldest member 103. So well known for the health benefits it provides to members, the club regularly gets enquiries from prospective members who have been “referred” by their doctor or who need further rehabilitation after injuries. “Not only are we active, but we are always doing something, whether it’s a movie, or a dinner or just a coffee after a session, so if you like to get out of the house you can.” The club has two qualified instructors for the water aerobic sessions, and participants are encouraged to exercise at their own pace. “We’ve even taught people who have never swum or had much to do with the water, so it’s a club that’s open to everyone.” The Frankston Fabulous 50s celebrated its 35th birthday on Wednesday, with a dinner at the Frankston RSL. Call Judy Laux on 9781 4272 about joining the club. Liz Bell

Raids reveal crop houses

POLICE feared a man and a woman found walking along Peninsula Link would be run down, Sunday 26 February. They approached the couple near the FrankstonDandenong Rd exit and found the man “uncooperative and argumentative”, 12.15am. “He attempted to walk away,” Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb, of Frankston police, said. “Police were concerned he would walk into traffic but he resisted and attempted to punch an officer. OC foam was used and the man was wrestled to the ground and arrested”. The policeman suffered minor injuries. The man, 28, of Patterson Lakes, was charged with assaulting police and resisting arrest. He will be charged on summons to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date. The woman was charged with hindering police and inciting others to resist police. She will receive an infringement notice.

POLICE raids on properties in Patterson Lakes and Carrum Downs last week allegedly found more than 120 cannabis plants and elaborate hydroponic set ups – and even a specially insulated roof to prevent heat being detected by police helicopters. The raids carried out at 7.30am, Tuesday 21 February, were part of police operation called Rebuker 16. A Colac Ct property was allegedly found to house about 90 cannabis plants and two fully functional hydro units with lamps in two rear bedrooms. At the rear was a garage also set up as a hydro unit allegedly holding 10 more fully grown cannabis plants. A large backpack containing a garbage bag full of cannabis buds and a ziplock bag were also found, police said. A man, 43, and woman, 29, were arrested and taken back to Chelsea police station for interview. A second raid on the same day was carried out at a property in Myna Ct, Carrum Downs,. Here, police will allege they found a “sophisticated” cannabis crop room in the garage containing 31 large cannabis plants. They will allege the accused had built a special room inside the garage with insulation between its two roofs to prevent heat being detected by police helicopters flying overhead. An electrical bypass system had also been installed, preventing the power company identifying the user of large amounts of electricity. The 43-year-old man was charged with cultivating, trafficking and possessing a drug of dependence at the two properties. He was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in May. A Bonbeach woman, 29, will be charged on summons with outstanding warrants.

Hit-run guilty plea A MINI-MOTORBIKE rider has pleaded guilty to the hit-and-run fatality that killed a motherof-two at Carrum Downs shopping centre in September 2015. Caleb Jakobsson, now 20 but aged 18 at the time of the tragedy, changed his plea to guilty last week and was further remanded to face court in May on charges of culpable driving causing death and failing to stop at the scene of an accident. Jakobsson’s “monkey bike” is said to have struck Andrea Lehane as she walked on a pedestrian crossing in the car park. She was thrown up to seven metres when struck at a speed of “between 30kph to 40kph”, according to witnesses, and suffered critical head injuries. Her life support was turned off two days later in hospital.

STUDENTS from Frankston primary schools are learning their A to Z of healthy eating thanks to an innovative program, run by the Department of Justice and Regulation and Jesuit Social Services, at Frankston North Community Centre. Under the program, participants on community corrections orders participated in a healthy eating program which gave them a better understanding of healthy eating practises, and helped

them work on their literacy and numeracy skills. Bev Garrett from the Department of Justice said part of the program involved the women making healthy eating cards for primary schools to help students learn the importance of a healthy diet. Mahogany Rise Primary School was the first school to receive the cards at Friday’s handover.

Woman duped in online scam A FRANKSTON woman has been duped into handing over several hundred thousand dollars to a man she never met in an online dating scam. The lonely woman, 63, was contacted in December by a potential “friend” who said he was in Australia but was soon returning to Turkey. The man said he was a civil engineer who was working on a project in that country and “needed funding to finalise the project” which he wasn’t able to provide himself. “They continued with online conversations which were quite affectionate and made it sound like they were a couple and had been seeing each other,” Detective Sergeant Gary Richards, of Frankston CIU, said. “The victim never spoke to the other person using any face image media, such as Skype.” But he managed to convince the woman of his bona fides and persuaded her to deposit the

money in four large transactions into his bank account. The woman never heard from the man again. Frankston detectives have contacted Interpol but it is unlikely that the money will be recovered. “Scams happen every day and sometimes they can be very sophisticated,” Detective Richards said. “When it comes to sending money to anyone, and particularly to someone overseas, people should first contact local police for advice. “In this case, the victim is humiliated and saddened because she thought she had a friend and now she realises she was duped.” The investigation is ongoing.

MORNINGTON Peninsula District scouts and cubs were well prepared for their annual regatta at Sorrento. Despite inclement weather which prevented the sail boats going in the water, cubs and scouts from all over the peninsula had a great day with canoe and kayak races and beach activities. The scout district comprises 12 scout groups from Mt Eliza to Sorrento, and has 750 uniform members and dozens of support personnel. District commissioner Tina Bennett said scouting was open to girls and boys aged 6-26. Ms Bennett said scouting encouraged team building, leadership, initiative and independence, while “at the same time having fun”. Inquiries: Tina Bennett 0409 131 489. The regatta is held each year as close as possible to 22 February, the birthday of the Scouts founder, Robert Baden-Powell.

Drug deals: mother, son charged

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

A MOTHER and son arrested in Somerville last week allegedly supplied cannabis to school students over the past 12 months. Sniffer dogs taken to their house assisted police in allegedly finding two cannabis plants, 57 grams of cannabis in foils and $2865 cash. A 41-year-old woman was charged with drug trafficking and possession and profiting from the proceeds of crime. She was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in April. Her son, 15, a former student of the school, was charged with cultivating, trafficking and possession. He was summonsed to appear at a children’s court at a later date. Acting Senior Sergeant Melissa Rodgers, of Hastings police, described the pair as “major distributors [of cannabis] to kids in Somerville”. She said police would allege “four ounces

BEAUTY is in the eye of the beholder, and the bright blue colour scheme of Morgan’s fish and chippery in Sorrento is no exception. Owner Julian Gerner, who says he received the go ahead for his chosen colour scheme from Mornington Peninsula Shire council last year, thinks it is attractive. “The colour is part of the branding of the fishand-chip shop,” he said. “I’ve spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the trading space yet people choose to focus on my painting it a certain colour. Taste is subjective.” Mr Gerner said he had a permit to paint the “whole façade of the shop”. But others in the town are incredulous, with new Nepean ward councillor Bryan Payne saying the paintwork is “another blight on the heritage

of cannabis was being sold from the house per week” since February last year. “We are told this house was the go-to place for kids to buy cannabis in Somerville,” Sergeant Rodgers said. Two plants were allegedly found growing at the property, which is close to Somerville Secondary College. Principal Christopher Lloyd said he did not know if the mother and son had sold drugs to Somerville secondary students, even though they “lived close by”. The school had not counselled students specifically over this drug issue, but regularly ran harm minimisation sessions to advise of the dangers of drugs. Stephen Taylor

DON’T SUFFER FROM

PAINFUL FEET! Most foot pain can be successfully treated

chip shop’s blue The paint job has also drawn the ire of Sorrento Historical Society and Nepean Conservation Group. Member Frank Hindley said it was apparent the council had made an error in issuing a permit for the paint job in January last year. “It is well-known and generally understood that Sorrento’s heritage buildings should not be painted – especially not limestone buildings,” he said. “The paint is very damaging to the limestone.” He said the permit showed the “complete ignorance” of the shire’s planning officers. Resident Ken Hailes said “dozens of individuals had submitted formal complaints to the shire which may lead to legal action to have the paint removed”. He said this would be expensive as the paint had soaked into the limestone. Mr Gerner said the bright blue paint covers secondary rendered limestone on the façade, not the original solid limestone of the building which has previously been a mortuary, Melbourne Sports

depot agency, saddlery and hardware store. It was listed as the original No. 15 in the old Sorrento phone book. “I treat my association with heritage very seriously,” he said. “I would not paint raw limestone. This has been rendered and it’s more of a bagging; you can see two layers of old paint on it. “There’s been absolutely no contact between blue paint and raw limestone.” Brad Morgan, whose great-great grandfather built the shop, conceded Mr Gerner had received a permit to paint over rendered brickwork: “The council has buggered it up.” “The planning department said it was supposed to look like the Mediterranean [but] I told them that Sorrento’s not the Mediterranean.” Cr Payne said he was “still waiting” for the shire’s planning department to explain why the permit was issued. “The exact details are in dispute,” he said. “The lawyers are looking at it now.”

Aero club seeks shire backing for helipad TYABB Aero Club wants Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to pay $100,000 for a helipad at the Stuart Rd airfield. The club will contribute $25,000 towards the project. Vice-president Jack Vevers said the planned helipad would be used by emergency services crews, such as the air ambulance, firefighting services, and police helicopters. “We are fortunate that we can provide the land and facilities for these helicopters,” he said. “It’s a good thing for the community. “Our application is still going through, but we are hopeful we will get approval soon.” The February edition of the Tyabb & District Ratepayers & Environment Group’s newsletter says the state government has already refused a similar application for a grant now being considered by the shire. “So if the state has refused why should we, the residents, have to pay?” the group’s president Stefan Berson stated in the newsletter. Meanwhile, the aero club has denied rumours it was moving to become a Mornington Peninsula base for small jet aircraft. Mr Vevers said an application to the council to store jet fuel at the airfield may be behind the misunderstanding. He said the fuel was for refilling helicopters – not jet planes. “There is no way we could have jets here,” he said. “It would be physically impossible for jets to land or take off, and also our permit with the council does not allow it.” Stephen Taylor

It’s a gas all the way from Gippsland Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A NEW 187-kilometre pipeline bringing crude oil and condensate from Esso’s plants at Longford in Gippsland to Long Island Point at Hastings is nearly finished. “The pipeline is a critical piece of infrastructure that will allow the continued delivery of crude oil and condensate, and will also ensure that natural gas from our offshore Gippsland operations continues to flow to households and businesses,” spokesman Travis Parnaby said. Construction began in January last year and, so far, 176 kilometres of the 187 kilometre pipeline has been laid. The pipes are visible from Frankston-Flinders Rd on the way to Hastings from Tyabb. Construction is expected to be end mid-year with the pipeline being commissioned later. “The replacement pipeline represents another significant investment in the continuation of our Gippsland operations, which have provided crude oil, condensate, LPG and natural gas to the Australian market since 1969,” Mr Parnaby said. Esso was in the news last week after soot-laden emissions from its smoke stacks caused black smoke trails over Hastings and Western Port. The smoke was caused by scheduled maintenance work resulting in larger than usual flaring from its site. Flaring is a safety mechanism that burns excess hydrocarbons causing lots of smoke, which raised eyebrows on a day of total fire ban. The EPA’s southern metro manager Marleen Mathias said the authority was aware of community concerns about “visible smoke and flames coming from Esso’s Long Island Point”. She said the EPA had inspected the site and confirmed the company was “compliant with its licence for air emissions”. Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council secretary Karri Giles said it was “high time Esso upgraded [its] plant to lower the emissions”.

It wasn’t hearing loss, it was just earwax!

It’s a gas: The ESSO pipeline is almost at Hastings. Picture: Gary Sissons

“Here we have black smoke by day and a rosy glow seen for kilometres at night. We appreciate the LPG that Esso provides, but when the Hastings community sees that 1970s technology is being used, we wonder if anything has been done since then. “It is time for Esso to fit some new technology to capture and filter excess gas. “They should employ the available technology

that is used elsewhere. “Don’t the Hastings community and the environment of Western Port, an international Ramsar site, deserve second-best practice or even bestpractice? “The highest profit possible shouldn’t be the priority: surely lowering greenhouse gas, and sooty, dirty emissions, should be a priority for Esso, too.”

Winston on way to triathlon nationals FRANKSTON High School student Winston Kenyon has been selected for the School Sport Australia Triathlon Championships which will be held at Penrith, New South Wales from 18-21 April. Winston will be joining students from across the state in the School Sport Victoria State Team following a selection process which started in November last year. With three events this season being SSV selection races, the competitor’s two best places were used to select a team of six athletes for the 12-13 years age group. Winston trains locally at a variety of clubs, such as the Mornington Peninsula Triathlon Club, the Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club and Team Barefoot, as well as training independently four to seven days a week. A keen surfer, competitive swimmer and strong cyclist, Winston chose to combine his talents and began participating in triathlons last year. “I took part in my first competitive event about a year ago in Mordialloc and came seventh. Most of the competitors were a year older than me and that’s when I thought I might be able to make the top three if I train for the season,” Kenyon said. Before heading to New South Wales for the Championships, Winston will be competing in the final event of the ActiveTRI Series at Peter Scullin Reserve, Mordialloc on 19 March. Finishing second twice throughout the series with one race remaining, Winston is hoping to go one better and come out on top. “I knew that I had to improve my run back in November. Since then, I have been focusing on technique and it has gradually worked. I’m hoping it’s enough to make the difference in Mordialloc.” Winston will be joined by several other local students with Tristan Price, Parkdale Secondary College, Jackson Streader and Molly Wallace, Peninsula Grammar competing in the 13-14 age group.

Ex-patient’s trip down memory lane

Fire ‘accidental’

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au

Paddler dies AN 84-year-old man found underneath his upturned paddle board 200 metres off the Rye sailing club, Wednesday 1 March, could not be revived. The man, a father of three from Rye, was brought to shore by two jet skiers who unsuccessfully tried CPR, at about 11am. Sergeant Paul Dickson, of Rosebud police, said there were no suspicious circumstances in the man’s death, which had earlier been reported as a “medical incident”. The Water Police will prepare a report for the coroner.

Welsh style KIRKS Hotel on the Esplanade in Mornington vibrated with the sound of Welsh music in the traditional style with more than 200 people attended the Australian Welsh Male Choir inaugural ‘singing in the pub’ event last Wednesday. The choir is on three-week tour of Asia, taking in Taiwan, China and Hong Kong. The next pub session will be Wednesday 29 March, 8pm.

MEMORIES good and bad came flooding back when a former child patient of a now-dilapidated and disused Mt Eliza children’s hospital visited the Jacksons Rd site last week. Don Lawson, 83, but only “three or four” at the time, spent many weeks at the 100-bed Royal Children’s Orthopaedic Hospital in 1939 when it cared for children with tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, club foot, curvature of the spine, and infantile paralysis. He was there to have his feet “straightened”, as was the way in those days, which meant fracturing the bones and resetting them in plaster. Visiting from Toora last week with his younger brother Geoff, who lives in Mornington, Don recalled the smell of the chloroform anaesthetic. “I still have the scars on my ankles from the treatment and the smell of the chloroform is something I will never forget,” he said. Better memories were of days spent at the nearby beach and the care of the “lovely” nurses. But, being just a little boy, he was always sad when mum and dad had to leave at the end of their regular visits. The hospital had open-air wards, summer and winter, with the children exposed to “those two great physicians, sunshine and fresh air, to bring them back to health”, as written up in a visitor’s account of the hospital back in the day. It says the hospital used “modern medical science [and] all that nature

Detective Sergeant Gary Richards, of Frankston CIU, said the Thursday 23 February blaze may have been started by an overloaded power board.

The fire, detected about 1am, caused extensive damage to Wild Jasmine Thai Massage and the adjoining Family Life business.

Portraying the art of exploration MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s regional gallery at Mornington is hosting a range of exhibitions until 30 April. Artist TextaQueen has developed a reputation for portraits that explore gender, race and identity through the medium of textas. Her work, created over 15 years, reflects on how visual and popular culture informs personal identity.

‘Unsinkable’ pilot boat takes dip EARLY risers got a glimpse of Hart Marine’s newest high performance pilot boat as it was transported by low-loader to Mornington boat harbour, 5am, Tuesday 28 February. The $2.5 million self-righting composite design will work out of the port of Burnie in Tasmania. Its wide hull, wave-piercing “beak” bow, oversized rudders, and spacious side decks combine to allow easy pilot transfer while steaming alongside slowly moving ships. The wheelhouse is suspended from the hull to reduce noise and vibration, easing crew fatigue. “Hellyer” – named after a region in north-west Tasmania – took 70 Hart boat-builders 10 months to complete. It is the 17th in a line which began when the Yuilles Rd, Mornington, company joined with French naval architects Pantocarene to create an “unsinkable” pilot boat. The request came from Port Phillip Sea Pilots after a tragedy off Queenscliff in 1991 when three pilots died during a storm. Hart general manager Graeme Taylor says the boats have far surpassed performance expectations and are in high demand all over Australia, New Zealand and South-East Asia. The voyage across Bass Strait to Burnie is a doddle for this design: a sister ship recently sailed to Perth over six days. Stephen Taylor

ADAM BRAND WILL GET YOU ON YOUR FEET There’s a revolution happening in the world of Adam Brand. It’s a creative revolution that sees Brand redefin-ing boundaries and returning with the most ambitious record of his career, GET ON YOUR FEET. The album pushes the envelope in a way that few country artists of the modern era have ever attempted. This is Adam Brand in 2017, and he’s bringing a full deck of fine songs to the party that will establish a new high-water mark for him in a career that is already rich with them. With a new genre pushing record that’s set to send critics and fans reaching for new superlatives, Brand remains one the giants of modern Australian country music. One of country’s few contemporary icons, Brand has built a career that has seen him sell over half a million CDs and DVDs while earning three platinum and five gold albums. His catalogue includes such seminal albums as Last Man Standing, Adam Brand, Get Loud, Blame It On Eve and It’s Gonna Be OK. Throughout his career Adam Brand has been recognised internationally - particularly in the USA. He has an admirer in Taylor Swift - who hand picked him to tour with her in 2011. Brand has been nominated four times for the ARIA Best Country Album award and has won a dozen CMAAs (Country Music Awards of Australia) including multiple wins in the Song of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year categories. Adam has won twelve Golden Guitar Awards. He is also the series winner of Dancing With The Stars. Still, the one thing that continues to define Adam Brand ‘the artist’ is his desire to evolve and move forward. Blazing a sonic trail fuelled by what is happening right now in muisc, GET ON YOUR FEET is a stellar return for the artist. GET ON YOUR FEET was recorded between

Nashville and Sydney and features a collection of songs des-tined to become radio favourites. Immediate highlights include the title track and first single ‘Get On Your Feet’ (with the killer line ‘let’s party like the bomb just dropped’), ‘When You Get Lonely’, ’When She Walks By,’ ‘Heaven Has A Soundtrack’ and ‘Leave It On’. Adam has been collating material for GET ON

YOUR FEET for as long as it took him to find the best possi-ble songs. Before beginning work on the album, Brand enjoyed a hugely successful tour with his mates un-der the guise of Adam Brand & The Outlaws. The group ‘set fire to the town’ night after night. As their popu-larity continued to build, Brand was considering his next move back to his natural habitat as a solo perform-er.

“After My Side Of The Street (An ARIA Top 5 in 2014 - for which he won CMC Artist of the Year) came out, I felt like I needed to do something fun and different. The Outlaws was a nice segue. The idea had been in my head for years. I wanted a break from being ‘me’ …” he explains. “I knew I was ready to make a new record. I was looking for great songs that I wanted to sing. Every song had to be a song that I wanted to press ‘repeat’ on when I was driving in the car.” Working with Nashville based songwriters Erin Enderlin and Alex Kline (Enderlin has collaborated regularly with Brand throughout his career) - the search for top shelf songs was undertaken with gusto. Adam admits he gave a hundred and fifty tunes a spin and was smitten with around twenty of them. GET ON YOUR FEET features the best of the best. Ten songs made the final running order. This album really is all killer and no filler. “I’d been collecting these songs for twelve months,” Brand admits, “I know them really well and I’ve never gotten sick of them. I still wanted to keep listening to them even after I’d played them for the 100th time. ‘Every Time She Walks By’, ‘Get On Your Feet’, ‘Heaven’, ‘Drunk’ … ‘Why Can’t Love Be Easy’. I’ve been singing along to those songs like a fan in my car since mid-last-year.” With the material written and recording sessions completed in Nashville, Adam cut his vocal parts with Ted Howard (Paul Kelly/ Yothu Yindi) at Rancom Street Studios in Sydney. The result sees Adam Brand return with an album that will redefine his place in the country music pantheon. It’s time to GET ON YOUR FEET. Adam Brand will be playing at The Grand Hotel, Mornington, on Friday 28 April. Tickets at grand.oztix.com.au or www.grand.net.au

FELT-TIP SUPERHERO TEXTAQUEEN AND ARTISTIC CRUSADER STEPHEN MUSHIN In Between you and me TextaQueen explores gender, race and identity through the medium of fibre-tipped pens. Bringing together work created over a 15 year period, this survey exhibition reflects on how visual and popular culture inform personal identity via reinterpretations of the salon nude, re-creations of cultural and historical identities undressed in the Australian landscape and critiques of colonial histories in apocalyptic movie poster portraits. TextaQueen was an artist in residence at the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Police Point Artist in Residence Cottage in 2016. A new body of photographic works created during the residency is on display in the exhibition, where TextaQueen draped herself in seaweeds, saltbush and other flora of the landscape to evoke high fashion photography. Plan A / Plan B: The fanciful world of Stephen Mushin is an exhibition of drawings, 3D printed models and back-of-napkin calculations for unorthodox, but theoretically possible plans to save the world. Stephen Mushin is an inventor, designer and artist who has considered fantastical ways to save the planet, including an enormous model of a taxi-milkshake-café powered by farting cows and a floating polar bear habitat made of recycled refrigerators. Visitors to the exhibition can create their own fantastical designs out of 10,000 magnets featuring 1,000 of Stephen Mushin’s objects. Also on display is Matthew Clarke’s second largest painting ever, Wallabies Republic, exploring his long running themes of environmentalism and wallabies. Join TextaQueen in conversation about cultural identity with Max Delany, Artistic

Director and CEO of ACCA and Anusha Kenny, curator and writer on Thursday 30 March, 5.30pm, from $18. Stephen Mushin is hosting a creative ideas session on Sunday 23 April, 4pm, from $12. Pre-schoolers can enjoy a Young at Art session on Tuesday 14 March or Tuesday 18 April, 10am, $5.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mr Hanton dies of an “internal complaint” Compiled by Cameron McCullough WE regret to have to record the death of Mr H B. Hanton, of “Ashburnham” Frankston. He has been in failing health for some 18 months past, and about 6 months ago went under an operation for an internal complaint, from which he never seemed to properly rally, but gradually sank and died peacefully on Monday morning last. He wa engaged for many years in the fish mongering business, carrying on the business of two shops in Melbourne. After retiring he resided for some time at Tooradin, and about 8 years ago purchased “Ashburnham” where he resided up to the time of his death. He was a Past Master in the Masonic Lodge, in which order he took an active interest. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon the remains being interred in the Frankston Cemetery, the Rev E. McFarlane officiating at the grave. A Masonic Service was also held conducted by Chaplain Captain Gates, of the Langwarrin Military Camp, which was most impressive. A wife and grown up family are left to mourn their loss. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr H. Gamble, of Frankston. *** MESSRS Alex. Scott and Co. will hold a special horse sale on Thursday next in the Tanti sale

yards, when they will offer for sale 60 horses and ponies, including draughts, medium, and light horses. *** THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association will be held on Monday next at 9pm in the Mechanics’ Institute. Business– Addresses by Messrs G. Shepherd and G. Griffeth on cross fertilization re show grounds, and other. *** ON Sunday next Harvest Thanksgiving Services will be held in the Frankston Methodist Church. Rev E. Tonkin will preach in the morning and the Rev R. W. Thompson of Box Hill in the evening. Harvest Festival services will be celebrated at Somerville and Langwarrin. *** SHOPKEEPERS are reminded that they are required to register their shops on or before the 14th March in each year, under a penalty of £10 for default, be delivering to the Secretary for Labor, Melbourne, a properly filled in form with the prescribed fees. *** THIS afternoon the Somerville Red Cross Society will entertain about 150 returned sick and wounded soldiers. The Langwarrin Brass Band will be in attendance and enliven the proceedings with a program of excellent music. On Sunday the “Wattle Club” will entertain another batch of about 100 in the Frankston Park in the hospitable manner in which this Club has become noted for.

*** AN application came before the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Council for assistance towards defraying the preliminary expenses to establish a Technical School at Caulfield but as it was considered that spending the funds for such a purpose did not come within the scope of their powers, a “tarpaulin” muster was made, and 10s was speedily collected as a help in the direction needed. *** THE “Wattle” Club are entertainning a number of returned soldiers on Sunday afternoon in the Frankston Park. They are expected to arrive about 3 o’clock and will be accompanied by a Military Band, and given fine weather, the trip should be a bright and beneficial one for our tired and warstained heroes. Donations of refreshments, fruit, nuts and lollies will be gratefully accepted from all who care to assist the soldiers in this way. *** LANGWARRIN Camp presented an animated and picturesque appearance on Sunday evening last when some of the principals of the J. C. Williamson Company produced the pantomime “The House that Jack Built” Crowds of visitors arrived from all parts of the district and the seating accommodation of the splendid hall was taxed to its utmost. The soldiers thoroughly appreciated the efforts of the artists who entertained them.

The Company will be remembered for a long time to come as one of the best and brightest ever seen at the Camp. *** “Anxious” writes to inquire if there is any Government regulation as to the size of land required for a State School in the country. The size of school sites is not fixed by regulations, but it is the desire of the Department that new school sites should be at least three acres in extent, so as to provide suitable play grounds, space for gardens and experimental plots, as well as room for a teacher’s residence should it be considered desirable at any time to erect one. *** THE cricket match which took place on Saturday last, Frankston v Lang warrin, Camp, in the Frankston Park, resulted in a win for the home team. The Langwarrin Military Band played selections during the afternoon, and enlivened proceedings considerably. Afternoon tea was provided by Mrs Box and her friends, which lent in no small measure, to the enjoyment of the afternoon. *** THE news received from the front with regard to Frankston boys is of a very depressing nature. On Saturday Mr H. McComb received a cable from the Department that his son, Bert had been killed while in action in France. Private B McComb, who was 21 years of

age, has lived nearly all his life in Frankston, and for his particularly bright and cheerful disposition was a general favorite with everyone. For three years prior to enlisting he was a student at Stott’s College, and vying for the profession of engineer for which he showed peculiar aptitude, and the head of the College stated that he was one of the finest students that ever passed through. We sadly sympathise with the parents and family in their great loss. The Defence Department also have sent word that Private Alan G. Young, has been severely wounded, and and sent to the Working Military Hospital, England, suffering from gunshot wound to the face, knee and foot. Private Young, joined in August, 1914, and served in Gallipoli. After serving about 15 months he was invalided home, reaching Australia in November, 1915. After recuperating for several months he was again went to Broadmeadows where he met with a bad accident through a transport running over him for which he was detained in hospital, several months. He finally got away for further second deployment October last, and was serving in France when he again was knocked over. His friends are anxiously waiting future news of him. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 10 March, 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Baden Powell Merit Badge fiasco By Stuart McCullough IT just feels wrong. Although technically speaking I’m entitled, there’s something not quite right about the fact that I have them. I am (I suspect) not acting in accordance with community expectations. It’s a shame; I was so proud when I received them. Amidst the pomp and ceremony, I couldn’t contain my glee. But the harsh truth is, these days I couldn’t tie a sheepshank knot if my life depended on it. That’s why I’ve decided to return my Scouting merit badges. It may seem unlikely now, but I was once a Scout. ‘Be Prepared’ was our motto. The key requirement of being a Scout was endurance. You had to be able to turn up to the Moorooduc Town Hall every Wednesday evening wearing shorts, regardless of the conditions. There were nights where I begged my parents for a reprieve, wanting instead to stay home where it was warm to watch the latest installment of ‘The Fall Guy’ starring Lee Majors. These erstwhile pleas fell not on ears that weren’t deaf, just determinedly unsympathetic. Later, as I stood at attention, the goose bumps on my legs were big enough to be seen from the moon. There were merit badges for pretty much everything. From woodwork to physical fitness, I pursued them with an enthusiasm that was not so much unbridled as unhinged. Those badges that looked overly difficult, however, were quickly eliminated from consideration as I doggedly pursued the path of least resistance. Having selected the merit badge I wanted (cooking, personal cleanliness, Twentieth Century pre-

revolutionary Russian Literature etc), I would then begin a relentless campaign of harassment directed at my father. He’d be busy doing work around the yard (which always involved a mattock, the wheelbarrow, tatty nylon tracksuit pants and a ‘Wham!’ t-shirt he picked up on sale) when I’d beg for

help. Ultimately, my father would concede and agree to assess whatever it was I was supposed to be doing in order to earn my merit badge. I recall him timing me as I raced down the driveway to test my fitness. Most likely, I was wearing gumboots as I tore across the gravel

at a rate of knots. Other activities were less physical and more of a technical nature. It was here that my father’s patience was sorely tested. I have never been very handy. My brother, however, was good with his hands and quickly progressed from Lego to knocking up a greenhouse during the course of an afternoon while I puzzled over how to get the lid off the super glue. Despite this, I would often attempt technically oriented scouting tasks. Without exception, these attempts were disastrous and would transform a pleasant Saturday afternoon into something far more excruciating for me, my father and everyone in a four-kilometer radius as my howled cries of anguish were hurled heavenwards. Ultimately, I would succeed or, at least, get within sniffing distance; enough for my father to declare that some base level of proficiency had been achieved. The merit badges were awarded during the parade ceremony. The event bore little resemblance to the opening ceremony of the Moscow Olympics and mostly consisted of having your name called out before stepping forward to collect your merit badge. I doubt I have ever felt as proud as the day I was awarded the merit badges for short crust pastry and atomic fusion (beginner level). Once awarded, these bright little patches would then be sewn on to the sleeve of my shirt as a reminder to my peers of my general awesomeness. Within a short period of time I’d earned a slew of badges. Impatient when my mother claimed she had better things to do, I began sewing on my own badges; an act of intemperance

that somewhat ironically earned me another merit badge. The most elusive merit badge for me involved knots. Knots were, and remain to this day, my nemesis. Whole evenings at Scouts would be dedicated to the art of the knot. We’d be handed two pieces of rope and spend the entire night trying to do something useful with them. I can still picture the troop leaders explaining how one end of the rope would be folded, tucked, tugged and tightened. They may as well have been speaking another language. But determined (k)not to let two bits of rope get the better of me, I practiced all kinds of ropey configurations – the granny knot, the reef knot, the sheet bend and (if I was feeling especially game) the double sheet bend. Perhaps the one I should have learned was the ‘Forget Me Knot’. After what felt like several decades of practice I was assessed and duly awarded a merit badge. I then used my exceptional sewing skills to affix it to my shirt. But however monumental this achievement, it’s lost to me now. The only knot I can tie is the one I use for my shoelaces and, even then, it’s a day-to-day proposition. I have failed to live up to the scouting motto of ‘Be Prepared’. My motto at this point is probably ‘Outsource Early and Often’. So please, accept these merit badges along with a personal apology from me to Lord Baden-Powell. My Scouting achievements should now be considered expunged, stricken forever from the record. Dib, dib, dib; dob, dob, dob; blah, blah, blah; etcetera and so forth. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Islanders avoid drop PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully LONG Island has avoided relegation to District grade after pulling off a memorable victory over Pines on Saturday in MPCA Provincial cricket. The Islanders came into the final match of the season a game clear of the Ducs and its percentage was just a smidge better. Whilst it was unlikely that Moorooduc would beat Mornington at Alexandra Park, the Islanders still needed to win to guarantee them of preventing relegation. As it turned out, the Ducs thumped the Doggies, which made the Islanders’ win crucial. At the other end of the table, Mt Eliza belted Somerville and stamped its authority on the top four, finishing in fourth place.

Baxter and Langwarrin both lost in their final games of the season and finished second and third respectively, while Peninsula Old Boys belted Crib Point to finish clear on top of the ladder. Long Island won the toss against Pines and sent them into bat. The Piners scored 8/148 with Craig Entwhistle scoring 50 and Damien Lawrence 47. Andrew Tweddle claimed 4/44 and Greg Lamb 3/34. In reply, the Islanders were in some trouble at 2/11, however, Stuart Swift steadied things with 40, Tweddle hit 28 and Aaron Paxton got 32. Long Island scored 6/150 with four overs to spare. Peninsula Old Boys sent a very loud warning to the rest of the teams in the finals after belting Crib Point. POB beat the Pies with 25 overs to spare and nine wickets in hand. After rolling the Pies for 124 in 40

overs, Dylan O’Malley then put on one of his many clinics, smashing 13 fours and four sixes, scoring 96 of the first 116 runs scored. Wade Pelzer had the best seat in the house and was not out 26 as his side scored 1/125 in 15 overs. Baxter will limp into the finals after losing its two final home and away matches to POB and Pearcedale on Saturday. Winning the toss and batting first, Baxter made 5/184 after Daniel Warwick and Chris Brittain opened with 82 and 55 respectively. However, 103 from Chris Dew opening the innings and 39 from Max Blackburn saw the Panthers score 6/189 in 37.1 overs. Dale Irving and Chamika Sattambi snared two wickets each. Despite losing its final two matches, Baxter would be very confident this weekend against Langwarrin, given

their domination over the Kangas for many seasons. The Kangas could only scrounge 8/157 against Sorrento, which replied with 5/158 in 36 overs, thanks to an unbeaten 112 to skipper Bobby Wilson. Matt Prosser top scored for Langwarrin with 43, while Mal Coutts again came to the rescue with an unbeaten 31. There was no stopping Wilson though, who opened the innings and saw the first two wickets fall for 24. Jedd Falck helped to stem the tide with 21. Travis Campbell was the pick of the Langy bowlers with 3/32 from 10 overs. Mt Eliza made 180 against Somerville with Justin Grant top scoring with 65 before rolling the Eagles for 110 in the 30th over. Leigh Lowry top scored for the Eagles with 60. Grant was the man with the ball too, taking 3/17 from five while Shaun Knott and Lyle House

picked up two wickets each. Ben Williams opened with 77 and Michael Whincup hit 52 to help Moorooduc to 6/202 against Mornington. The Dogs were then rolled in embarrassing fashion for just 106 in 25 overs. Brad McDonald top scored with 40 after picking up 4/52 with the ball. In the Provincial Semi-Finals this weekend, POB will host Mt Eliza and Baxter will be home to Langwarrin. Baxter and Langwarrin met in Round 2 and the game was washed-out. Baxter was all over the Kangas after scoring 254 and then had them 4/93 in reply after 50 overs. Mt Eliza beat POB after scoring 263 in their round six match, the last game before Christmas. POB was then bowled out for 207.

Sharks grab finals place at death DISTRICT

By IT Gully FLINDERS has snatched the final place in the MPCA District top four after knocking over Heatherhill in the final home and away game of the season. Mt Martha held onto fourth place going into the final round, while both Heatherhill and Flinders sat outside waiting to pounce. The Reds couldn’t get the job done against Delacombe Park, giving the Hills and the Sharks the opportunity to grab the final spot. It went down to the wire but the Sharks got there in the end with nine balls to spare.

PAGE 30

Frankston Times

Heatherhill batted first at BA Cairns Reserve and didn’t get away to a great start, losing its first five wickets for 54 runs. The tail had some wag however with Brett Maxwell scoring 48, Matt Meagher 40, Steven O’Donnell 23 and Zach Horsley 20, giving the Hills 8/178 off 40 overs – a very competitive total. Flinders openers Tom Clements (76) and Andrew Power (33) got the home side away to a great start with an opening stand of 116, before Mitch Stansborough (30) and Shane Beggs (21) got them home with six wickets in hand. Delacombe Park finished in second place on the ladder and in beat-

6 March 2017

ing Mt Martha on Saturday, booted them from the top four. The Reds could only muster 119 in their 39.5 overs. Dean Blight, Andrew Stapleton and Ricky Ramsdale all took two wickets each. In reply, the Parkers scored 8/121 with one over to spare, a returning Joel Malcolm top scoring with 49, while Rob Fisher hit 28. Seaford made it two big scalps in as many weeks, this time beating Main Ridge, despite Shaun Foster scoring 100. The Ridge won the toss and sent Seaford in. The Tigers made 220 with Chris Cleef top scoring with 67. The Ridge looked to be coasting at 1/119 and again at 2/167, before los-

ing 7/18, including Foster for a ton and Holmes for 40. Foster’s past five innings have been 142, 76, 70, 73, 35 and 100. Red Hill did what was required to beat Rosebud. The Buds batted first and made 9/119 in 40 overs. The Hillmen got there with three wickets in hand and one over to spare. Rheede Hopgood top scored with 45. Fittingly, Rye and Boneo drew in their match at RJ Rowley Reserve. Boneo won the toss and batted first, scoring 6/142 from its 40 overs. With scores locked together with one ball remaining in the match, Cooper Morks was run out and the Demons were all out for 142.

Regardless of the result, Boneo finished on the bottom of the ladder and will be relegated to Sub District next season. Baden Powell got the job done against Seaford Tigers, winning with plenty of overs to spare. The Braves won the toss and sent the Tigers into bat, where they made 9/166 in 40 overs with Aaron Mountey top scoring with 68. The Braves then responded with 4/167 in 37 overs. Mountey was the best of the Tigers with the ball also, claiming 3/41. This weekends’ semi-finals will see Red Hill host Flinders and Delacombe Park host Main Ridge.

Frogs leap into the finals SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK will play Hastings for the second week in succession after comfortably booking its place in the MPCA Sub District finals on Saturday. The Frogs needed to win its final match of the season against the ladder leaders to assure themselves a place in the finals. The teams will meet again in the semifinal this Saturday and Sunday, while in the other semi-final, Ballam Park and Frankston YCW will go head-to-head. Whilst Hastings would have liked to have won its last home and away game,

the prize for a win was much, much bigger for the home side. Tootgarook won the toss and batted first and it was Travis French, who did the damage, scoring 99 opening the innings to help his side to a defendable total of 7/167 after 40 overs. It was the second time this season that French had scored in the 90s, unfortunately for him falling short of the magical three figures. Todd Harnett (27) and Matt Whelan (24) played their part in the win. Luke Hewitt was the pick of the Hastings bowlers with 3/28 off 10 overs, while Isuru Dias snared 2/43 from his 10.

The Hastings top order all got starts but when Robbie Hearn was gone for 21 with the score on 44, a collapse sent the visitors on the back foot. Jake Hewitt went 10 runs later for a duck and with the score still on 54, Nathan Hunt was sent packing for 24. Mitch Floy (29) and Luke Hewitt (27) got things back on track and took the score to 3/92, however, they quickly lost 4/24 and the Frogs were home. Zac Stephenson was the pick of the Tootgarook bowlers with 3/26 off nine overs, Whelan picked-up 3/26 off 7.5 overs and Paul Stephenson took 3/38 from 10. The Blues were all out for 140, 28 runs shy of the target.

Dromana finished the season on a high, beating Carrum. The Hoppers batted first and made 7/184 with Jedd Savage scoring 44, Mark Whitehead 34, Andrew Thomposn 33 and Zac Klan 32. Cory Foster and Brett Moulton pickedup two wickets each for the Lions. In reply, the Lions were in the hunt early at 1/70, however, losing 6/17, destroyed any chance of winning. Zach Dent top scored with 31. Adam Ciavarella snared 4/46 from 10 overs while Jye Voelkl picked up 4/28, giving him 38 wickets for the season. Ballam Park hasn’t had the ideal preparation going into a finals series, losing its final two games of the season.

On Saturday, the Knights handed Skye their first win of the season. After batting first and making just 6/124. Skye responded with 8/127 with an over to spare. David Roach top scored for the Knights with 37 and Zac Pedderson opened with 27. Once again, David Cross (0) and Stuart Plunkett (12) contributed little with the bat and the rest of the team failed to respond. Only a team performance will see the Knights get themselves into a Sub District Grand Final. Balnarring finished the season with a win, thrashing Carrum Downs. The Cougars were rolled for 119 before the Saints scored 5/127 in 20 overs.

Bad break for O’Donnell, melee mars tie SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie A BROKEN leg, a 9-0 thrashing, send-offs and melees involving players, both benches, coaches and spectators – the 2017 FFA Cup had it all last weekend. Rosebud Heart veteran Simon O’Donnell suffered a broken fibia and tibia of his right leg during Saturday’s 3-1 win over Dandenong Warriors at Knox Regional Centre. “That’s my career over. I don’t want my son ever seeing that again and will just focus on my weekends with him,” said O’Donnell on Sunday awaiting surgery at Knox Private Hospital. Heart was 2-0 up after 11 minutes thanks to a sizzling strike by Blake Hicks and a low volley from Daniel Hodge. O’Donnell’s injury came in the 26th minute and he was stretchered off. “Some of the players were really shaken up by the incident and we lost our way a bit,” said Heart gaffer Scott Morrison. A behind-the-play incident in the 35th minute resulted in a send-off for Warriors’ Warnyang Pouch and in the 75th minute teammate Hadiy Muradi also received his marching orders after allegedly calling an assistant referee a faggot. A Zac Karolidis free-kick in the 80th minute made it 3-0 and the Warriors’ consolation goal in the 89th minute was scored by Joshua Topping. The cup double header at Centenary Park on Saturday opened in expected fashion as Skye United walked all over Ballarat visitor Forest Rangers. However it ended in uproar after a fiery clash between home team Peninsula Strikers and visitors Brimbank Stallions that saw three players red carded amid ugly scenes on an off the pitch and as the teams went to the dressing rooms at game’s end. Forest Rangers went into this round two clash after forfeits in the cup’s qualifying rounds and without a reserve goalkeeper and just one player on the substitutes’ bench. “These are all the players we could get to come down here but we don’t believe in forfeits and I think every club that forfeits should be fined,” said Rangers coach Sam Muscat. It took three goals in five minutes of the first half to settle the issue. Rangers’ goalkeeper Daniel Cook was dreadful in the air and decidedly uneasy with the ball at his feet – a sure recipe for disaster. Yet Cook stopped Skye on numerous occasions and was one of his

Red card: Strikers’ star Aziz Bayeh was one of three players sent off during a fiery cup tie. Picture: Dion Stallbaum

side’s best players albeit that he was helped by finishing that bordered on slapstick comedy. Skye’s first half barrage was started by John Andrinopoulos scoring from close range after Cook flapped at a Mark O’Connor free kick in the 24th minute. A minute later a cheeky O’Connor stepover sent Wumjock Jock through and despite getting a hand to Jock’s shot Cook couldn’t take enough momentum off the ball. In the 29th minute Khor Gatluak nutmegged an opponent on the right then squared to Jock who made it 3-0. Jason Nowakowski was at the back post following a Gatluak cross from the right and slotted the ball past Cook to make it 4-0 in the 41st minute. A fine interpassing movement right on half-time ended with Cook parrying O’Connor’s shot and presenting Nick Theodore with a tap-in for No 5.

O’Connor’s far post header in the 62nd minute made it 6-0, Jock notched his hat-trick in the 67th minute, Cook miskicked to Theodore who steadied then curled a low shot past the stranded keeper in the 69th minute and Marcus Collier finally got on the scoresheet late in the game. The marketing catchcry “the magic of the cup” took on a new meaning when Strikers and Stallions locked horns in the second cup tie at Centenary Park. Brimbank keeper Alex Capias kept his side in the contest early denying Alex Hopson and Aziz Bayeh and getting a finger tip to a low Grant Davies shot that struck the far upright. Brimbank’s best chance fell to Riccardo Ventaglio in the 16th minute but his lob sailed over the bar and the visitors went closer in the 28th minute after Strikers failed to clear a corner and a header clipped the crossbar

before going over. A good interpassing move and superb finish broke the deadlock in the 34th minute. Tom Hawkins on the left played the ball inside to Bayeh who played in Davies wide on the right and from a tight angle he struck the ball across Capias and inside the far post to make it 1-0. Swiss import Raphael Stultz made a poor decision in the 40th minute sliding in from behind to tackle an opponent and received his second caution and an automatic red card. Stultz handed the captain’s armband to livewire English midfielder Danny Brooks and the 10 men increased their lead in the final minute of the half when Hopson played in Bayeh who beat one defender then slotted the ball past the helpless Capias to make it 2-0. Strikers re-arranged their personnel at half-time bringing on Trevor Johnston and Conor Keely with both

players slotting in to the defensive formation. Strikers defended superbly in the second stanza and the Stallions became increasingly frustrated. A melee erupted on the pitch and soon spilled over into the Strikers’ technical area and even saw spectators jumping the fence and becoming involved. Not long after being substituted in the 60th minute Ventaglio became embroiled in a slanging match with the Strikers’ bench and had to be restrained by teammates and coaching staff after charging into Strikers’ technical area. Spotfires erupted throughout the remainder of the contest and came to a head in the dying moments after a midair double-footed tackle on Bayeh by Stallions substitute Hayden Formosa. The referee sent off Formosa for violent conduct but when he also sent off Bayeh the Strikers’ bench was up in arms at the decision. The ill feeling lingered at game’s end with players having to be separated as they slowly made their way off the pitch. Seaford United beat Frankston Pines 4-2 in their cup clash at Monterey Reserve on Saturday. Seaford’s scorers were Daniel Walsh (32nd and 38th minutes), Dylan Waugh (45th) and Nick Ormond (85th) while Pines’ goals came from Ben Millward (4th) and Munib Mohamed (45th). Pines went into the contest without star imports Christopher L’Enclume and Cedric Permal who are waiting for clearances from Mauritius. “Three of Seaford’s goals came from crosses that we couldn’t handle which was poor on our part but they deserved their victory,” said Pines’ boss Billy Rae. Meanwhile Somerville Eagles have appointed Neil Herd as senior coach while Baxter has pulled off a major coup with the signing of attacking midfielder Jack Gallagher from Kingston City. However Baxter star Liam Kilner is out for three months with a bulging disc in his lower back. Baxter takes on Healesville at Baxter Park at 2pm on Saturday and 30-yearold former Clifton Hill midfielder Liam Tinsley will line-up for Roy Kilner’s side. Mornington, Langwarrin and Casey Comets enter the round three FFA Cup draw which takes place today (Monday) at FFV headquarters.

Peninsula trainer catches a rare double

12341742-DJ10-17

By Ben Triandafillou RENOWNED thoroughbred owner and breeder, Robert Crabtree, completed back-to-back Group One victories on Blue Diamond Stakes Day at Caulfield on Saturday 25 February. Crabtree teamed up with Lindsay Park Racing for a winning double as Sheidel and the unbeaten Catchy stormed home to win consecutive Group One’s. Catchy, who started favourite for the $1.5 million Blue Diamond Stakes, soared late to provide Crabtree with his second Group One victory after a decade of close calls. By Fastnet Rock out of Cats Whisker, Catchy was purchased at the 2016 Inglis Easter Sales in Sydney for $220,000 and has amassed $1.1 million in prize money. Crabtree backed up in the following race with his mare, Sheidel, who saluted in the Group One Oakleigh Plate after leading all the way and holding out stablemate Faatinah. Winning a black type race with a female is always the aim for breeders but to win back-to-back Group One’s is a feat only a handful have completed. “It’s an amazing thing to happen because it’s extraordinarily rare but the great pleasure too was that they were both female which is great for my breeding business. At the same time they were two such well-regarded traditional group ones,” Crabtree said. “You race them and you care very much for the welfare of the horse. As a consequence there is always some apprehension, but hopeful that the horse will come back to scale and be fit, well and happy and ready to do it again next time.”

Winning streak: Robert Crabtree with Sheidel.

Crabtree has been at Dorrington Farm on the Mornington Peninsula for 15 years and has relied heavily on Hastings resident Fiona Melling to assist with the management. Crabtree became hooked on horse rac-

ing in the 1980’s when he had a small share in a horse through a charity auction and his interest in the sport hasn’t faded. “It’s an exciting business because you’re always dealing with the un-

a $500,000 All Too Hard x Fuhrnatic filly. Crabtree looks to have a promising year ahead with many star fillies and mares going around for the autumn carnival.

Andrew teeing off with a new title By Ben Triandafillou ROSEBUD golfer, Andrew Schonewille, has recently joined the professional ranks after a very impressive amateur career on the Australian circuit. Schonewille’s amateur career was far from ordinary leading a Victorian Open after the second round in 2014 and receiving a full scholarship for the 2016 Victorian Elite Squad. Schonewille is currently in New Zealand for a couple of weeks competing in the ISPS Handa New Zealand Open with fellow Rosebud professional golfer, James Marchesani. Marchesani has noticed considerable improvement in Schonewille’s game over the years and is impressed with his transition to a professional golfer. “We grew up playing together and he’s come quite a long way. Coming back from the U.S. he has improved a lot. He led a Victorian Open as an amateur and has made the transition to a pro very well,” Marchesani said. The pair are coming off the back of a successful Victorian PGA Championship where Marchesani finished tied third, just five shots off the leader, with Schonewille finishing T23. Learning to play golf since the age of ten, Schonewille is thrilled that he has finally made it to the professional ranks with all his hard work paying off. “Turning pro would have to be the biggest moment so far as you’ve spent so long as an amateur and it’s great to finally turn pro and have that title. I’m now able to play in ProAms, the Victorian Open and Tier Two events so it definitely gives me more options,” Schonewille said. After the New Zealand tournaments the pair will be entering the $11,000 Rosebud Country Club Pro-Am on Thursday 23 March and are hoping to make an impact in front of their home crowd. “Hopefully I am playing well and all sticks on the day. It’ll be great if I can win a pro-am in the home town, so definitely looking forward to it.” The Pro-Am is the showcase tournament for the club and is an event the locals have wanted to win from a young age. Schonewille will be playing in the Pro-Am for the first time as a professional golfer while Marchesani is hoping his experience can prevail and improve off last year’s result.
