Rates cap means ‘jobs crisis’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE south east suburbs could face a “jobs crisis” if a Labor state government pledge to cap rates goes ahead, according to Frankston councillors. At last week’s public council meeting, councillors were unanimous in their criticism of the Andrews government’s pre-election promise to limit future rates increases to

consumer price index (CPI) rises. “I don’t think my time as a councillor has seen me so concerned at a proposal that a government has put up at an election,” Cr Colin Hampton said. “This is a very populist point for a government or an opposition to take. It doesn’t take into account – in my opinion – the effects it will have today and into the future on the management and planning of local government.” The Labor state government plans to bring in the rates capping policy for the 2016-17 financial year onwards.

The most recent CPI figure available was 1.7 per cent for the year to December 2014. Frankston Council’s long-term financial plan is based on annual rates rise of 5.5 per cent. A council officer’s report stated Frankston Council faces a $22 million shortfall in funding over four years if the Andrews government’s policy comes into force. Cr Hampton said most council costs, such as bitumen for roads and concrete for building upgrades, rise faster than the CPI rate.

“Capital works will nearly draw to a close … it has a kick-on effect. This is a very short-sighted thing to do. People should understand it will cost services to this community and eventually it will cost jobs.” Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins met with Frankston councillors last month to hear concerns about the state government’s rates capping policy. Cr Glenn Aitken “found the minister very approachable and she was very easy to talk to about this”.

“We did emphasise through our officers and the CEO particularly and councillors the impact that the rates cap would have Victoria wide,” he said. “There is no doubt whatsoever that rates cap will impact on the services councils throughout the state deliver to their communities. “Frankston is not exactly awash with money. We have to hold a very tight budget to do what we want to do.” Continued Page 8

Dining out in style for the community

Ziggie, where are you? HAS anyone seen Ziggie? The 160cm tall, fibreglass statue appears to have been the victim of some monkey business last week and police are appealing for public assistance in finding him. Ziggie was stolen from outside a tobacconist on Thompson St between 6pm Tuesday 24 February and 6am Wednesday 25 February. Investigators believe a man wearing dark clothing took the statue – and its attached ashtray and metal stand - and fled the scene. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or file a confidential report at crimestoppers.com.au

Proudly giving: Members of Proudly Frankston and representatives of six community organisations receiving contributions from the group formed to promote community spirit. Picture: Marg Harrison, BusinessTimes

SIX community groups have shared in the benefits of a long, lazy lunch. The tickets bought by 500 diners who ate lunch last November while being entertained by jazzman James Morrison and bands made up of past and present students at Frankston High School contributed to the $7000 handed out last week by Proudly Frankston.

Proudly Frankston is a group dedicated to “promoting greater community spirit for Frankston”. Cheques were last Tuesday handed to Shirlene Thomas of Peninsula Health, Kim Michod, Peninsula Home Hospice, Georgia Simon, Menzies Caring for Kids, Christine Richards, Frankston Homeless Support Services, Simon Green, Frankston Dolphins Football Club and John Albiston,

Frankston High School. Alan Wickes, Proudly Frankston’s president, said the amount raised by the group throughout 2014 was cut by at least $10,000 when bad weather forced the long, lazy lunch to be held indoors at Mornington Racing Club instead of on the oval at Frankston Park.  Frankston Wine and Food Society, which raises money for

Proudly Frankston, is holding the first of four lunches for the year at Ranelagh Club, Mt Eliza, on Wednesday 11 March. The fourcourse “international lunch” by chef Roong Saisombait-Holtz will be served with six French wines. Cost: $70 members, $90 nonmembers. Details and bookings: 0419 343 989.

Forward thinking vital for business Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FORMER UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher infamously proclaimed “there is no such thing as society” in 1987 but it is not an opinion futurist Mark McCrindle would share. The social researcher, author and professional speaker has made a career out of analysing modern society’s trends and actions. He is heading to Mornington this month to share some of his insights as a guest speaker as part of the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Business Breakfast Series. Mr McCrindle established McCrindle Research nine years ago and has made it his business to tell corporate clients and governments about societal shifts on the horizon. The company conducts focus group research and collates and digs through data to make statistics clear to more than 100 corporate and government clients. He regularly appears as a social research commentator in the press and on TV and radio on shows such as Channel Ten’s The Project, ABC News 24 and Channel Seven’s Sunrise. “I was working towards a psychology degree and my goal back then was to become a psychologist but I actually preferred sociology more, looking at society rather than individuals,” he said. “We try to help people understand the trends and changes to come. We all spend so long focused on what we’re doing now or the technical

Futurist: Mark McCrindle

aspects of our industry that we forget to observe the changing external environment and technological shift.” He said his presentation in Mornington is a good chance for businesspeople to find out how changing demographics, including the coming of age of those born from 1982 onwards, commonly referred to as Generation Y, will impact on their companies both as consumers and employees. “[Companies] can suddenly find they’re good at what they do but they’re no longer relevant to the society we live in.” Planning for change is essential for a business aiming to thrive in a technological advances and the rise of social media, according to Mr McCrindle. McCrindle Research itself has had to adapt to change over the past decade. “When we began as market researchers it was just all about statistics

and reports but these days it’s about a ‘summary card’ to communicate to stakeholders and visual presentations and animated visuals … social media and multi-media presentations didn’t exist when we started. “It’s about visualising stats – taking it out of percentages and pie charts – and communicating in a simple and a quick way rather than having to read through a table.” McCrindle Research’s move to incorporate graphics and multi-media in its presentation of statistics gleaned through research has been recognised by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The ABS awarded McCrindle Research a Statistics Excellence Award in 2013 for “excellence in using statistics in the media”. The award came just two years after ABC’s Media Watch show questioned some of McCrindle Research’s survey methods in its earlier years. Mr McCrindle is unfazed by the criticism. “If you develop a career that’s out there, you’re going to have people who have a go. We’re all about conducting quality research.” Mark McCrindle will talk about Trends transforming the business landscape: thriving in times of unprecedented change at Mornington Racecourse on Tuesday 17 March, 7-9am. The FMP Business Breakfast Series is hosted by Frankston Council, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Frankston Business Network, Monash University and Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism.

Arts Appeal: McClelland Gallery deputy director Lyn Johnson and development manager Phillip Jones hope Frankston residents dig deep to support the gallery and sculpture park. Picture: Gary Sissons

The art of making an appeal THE McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery is asking Frankston businesses and residents to pitch in to keep its Langwarrin premises open. McClelland has faced a financial squeeze since the death of major patron Dame Elisabeth Murdoch in early 2013. Dame Murdoch’s $400,000 annual grant was a vital contribution to the gallery’s $1 million annual operational costs. McClelland does not charge for admission to the gallery or park and relies on donations and income earned from hosting events. The appeal for funds will run throughout the month of March. Donors can also become sponsors. “This is the first time we’ve done

it,” McClelland development manager Phillip Jones said. “We’re seeking new ways to fund ourselves and introduce new audiences to the gallery … this appeal will be an annual initiative.” More than 130,000 people visit the park each year. “We want to raise $50,000 throughout March which will make a big difference to what we do,” Mr Jones said. “We try to be as self-reliant as we possibly can.” “The gallery is in good shape but we do need the local community to help us out a little bit to keep the ball rolling.” Mr Jones said “McClelland also has an important role to play in

educating and inspiring students from around the area, and the funds we raise make it possible to offer our school workshops and holiday programs for kids.” “We work hard to make sure every donation dollar counts in bringing Australian art to the community.” Donations to the first McClelland annual appeal can be made until 31 March. Visit mcclellandgallery.com or call 9789 1671 for information. McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery is a registered not-for-profit organisation and all donations are tax deductible. Major donors can also become McClelland Ambassadors. Neil Walker

SEW promises ecology review Living examples: Frankston footballers Sam Fox (second from left at back) and Brad Sykes (third from left) with Bonbeach footballer Ricky Sykes and fellow Dolphin Dale Sutton during one of their Kick Start to a Healthy Heart programs at Frankston Park.

Footy players take ‘heart’ to the young FRANKSTON Dolphins players Brad Sykes and Sam Fox are running school holiday programs through in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. Both players are in their fourth season with Frankston’s VFL team and are qualified coaches and say they want to show youngsters how sport and healthy lifestyle choices can improve their quality of life They say team sport has engendered life lessons that helps them with the challenges of everyday life and have started Syked for Sport to help spread the message. Fox said they attributed their personal confidence and success to sport. “Through our Kick Start to a Healthy Heart program we aim to bring about a revolution in the community by fostering a fresh culture of

fun, purpose and inspiration through affordable sports programs that reach as many youngsters as possible,” Fox said. “Online games and social networking have captivated the imagination and energy of our youth, which has its place, however, Kick Start to a Healthy Heart leads to more physical activity, more social interaction and increased emotional wellbeing.” Fox said research shows participation in sport and particularly team sport provides “unique benefits to the youth of our community”. “Benefits include greater confidence and self-belief, improvements in motor skills, rising fitness levels, and healthier eating habits. Active participation in sport is valuable as it develops pro-active interpersonal skills such as teamwork, leadership,

sportsmanship, positivity, resilience and socialisation.” Kick Start to a Healthy Heart has run an eight-week program at six primary schools and is also developing a leadership program for high school students to educate and coach “budding young leaders”. “We are keen to raise public awareness of our passion and programs - particularly within our local schools - so that more youth of this generation have an opportunity to receive a kick start toward finding their place in this community and to making a difference,” Fox said. The Kick Start to a Healthy Heart six-day school holiday programs for 5-10 year olds are supported by the Frankston Dolphins. Bookings: www. sykedforsport.com.au

SOUTH East Water says it is set to appoint an ecologist to conduct an environmental assessment of its decommissioned reservoir land in Mt Eliza. A spokesperson says it is also “investigating the possibility of a designated area of public open space” in the 2.8 hectares on the corner of Barmah and Kanya roads, which it wants Mornington Peninsula Shire to rezone for housing. The decisions come on the heels of a growing push by residents and wildlife experts for all the land to be used for a nature reserve instead of housing. The news has been welcomed by Kunyung Residents Group. Spokeswoman Rebecca Taylor said it was a positive step SEW had put on the public record that it was “seriously looking at creating a reserve”. Last year the government water authority asked the shire to rezone 24 blocks of about 1000 square metres each, worth about $450,000 a block or $10.8 million in total. The shire has called for public comment and is expected to consider the matter at a council meeting in Mt Martha on 23 March. It has received more than 75 submissions with many calling for a reserve in a part of Mt Eliza that has just two inland reserves – Bruce Cameron Reserve (site of Kunyung Preschool) and a flood-prone area next to Gunyong Creek.

Wildlife experts helping the residents group have identified 18 species of native birds using the fenced-off land and dam, which has water after rain, as well as four kinds of skink, two species of blue-tongue lizard, three species of frog, and four mammal species. South East Water said its reservoir was decommissioned in 1999. “In cases where land is surplus to operational requirements, an application is made to council to consider a change to the planning scheme. In this instance, the application was made to revert the land from its Public Use Zoning to its previous zoning, which was residential. “South East Water as the current landowner will not [itself] be developing the land for residential purposes. “South East Water is currently engaged in discussions with local council and members of the community in regards to the application for the rezoning. “While these discussions are ongoing, South East Water has worked with initial feedback and recommendations from some members of the community in regards to concerns surrounding local flora and fauna on the site. “To deliver on our continued responsibilities as an essential service provider, we seek to ensure efficient operation of infrastructure and use of land owned by the corporation.” Mike Hast

‘Jobs crisis’ flagged if rates capped Continued from Page 1 Councillors agreed to write to Ms Hutchins to express their ongoing concerns about the government’s rate capping policy. The Municipal Association of Victoria has noted ratings agency Standard & Poor’s predicted “a cap could lead to a mismatch between councils’ ability to raise revenue and spending, leading to financial problems”. The Andrews government last week announced the Essential Services Commission will conduct an inquiry into the rate capping proposal and will report back to government. Councils will be consulted as part of the inquiry. A spokesperson for Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said the minister’s meeting with Frankston Council “was centred on the Andrews Labor Government’s plan to stop massive rate rises.” “This included how the policy will help Frankston ratepayers, how the consultation process will work and how councils who are seeking an exemption will need to be able to justify their spending.” Councils who wish to increase rates by more than the CPI rate will have the option to apply to the Essential Services Commission and justify the reason for the rate rise.

Mosque members help clean up Australia THE Langwarrin-based Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria has been credited as providing the third highest number of volunteers at this year’s Clean Up Australia Day. On Sunday 1 March more than 200 volunteers from association helped

English translation. Imam Janud said Ahmadi Muslims volunteered “very enthusiastically” because cleaning up was “a part of our faith” and Muhammad had proclaimed “cleanliness is half of your faith”. “Secondly, we are proud Austral-

ians; we want to do our part in safeguarding Australia for future generations. This is just one of many ways we can do so,” Imam Janud said. More than 1200 volunteers from the association worked at nine clean-up sites across Australia.

occurred despite increased demand.”

Not wanting to mince words, the officer asked the man whether or not he had paid for the items: he replied that he hadn’t. The officer called police who promptly came down and arrested the man. A 25-year-old Langwarrin man was charged with theft. He has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 4 June.

Upgrade to bridge

FRANKSTON Hospital was on bypass for non-life threatening cases for an hour on Tuesday 3 March, CEO Sue Williams said. “In the last quarter, the hospital achieved an operating time on bypass of just 2 per cent - well below the 3 per cent target set by the Department of Health and Human Services. This has

Chance ‘meating’ arrest AN off-duty policeman had a rare arrest while conducting his weekly shopping in Langwarrin on Sunday. Walking into a supermarket on Cranbourne-Frankston Rd, Carrum Downs, about 12.30pm he noticed a man wheeling $500 worth of meat out of the store.

THE two-lane concrete bridge over Kananook Creek, Seaford, will be upgraded thanks to a $433,000 federal government grant. The bridge, on the busy Seaford Rd, links the Frankston Freeway with Nepean Highway. VicRoads works will also improve pedestrian and freight access.

WHAT’S NEW

How one family business, three dogs, 40 sheep and 60 chooks saved $10,000 a year on power. “I even contacted the Energy Ombudsman in Victoria about the disappointing lack of service we were receiving.”

AFTER pursuing a hectic corporate lifestyle for many years, in 2003 Greg and Sue O’Donoghue decided to pack up their kids, Sam and Sophie, and move to the glorious wine-growing region of the Mornington Peninsula, one hour from Melbourne. Here, they created Green Olive at Red Hill, a picture perfect 27-acre farm where they grow olives, grapes, herbs and veggies, raise sheep, chooks and ducks, and turn amazing produce from local farmers into a range of goodies everyone loves. While the O’Donoghues are dedicated to creating food for the heart and soul, with the aim of being fully sustainable, they still face the same challenges as many businesses, when it comes to energy usage, consumption and cost. After a bad experience with their previous energy supplier including a lack of customer service, billing inconsistencies and rising costs, Greg O’Donoghue contacted ERM Business Energy to see how they compared. “We waited nine months for our previous retailer to get back to us with an answer about our power consumption with no response, so we decided to look elsewhere,” explained Greg.

“We shopped around with a few electricity providers, but ERM Business Energy were the best by a long shot. We couldn’t have been happier with their response.” Green Olive at Red Hill, which was named Winner of the Excellence in Food Tourism category at the 2014 Victorian Tourism Awards, requires a substantial amount of electricity to successfully operate the business. “We have to power the cool rooms where the sheep are hung after butchering, run the commercial kitchen including the ovens and kettles to make jam and chutney, and operate the irrigation system for the olive grove and vegetable gardens, so it all adds up,” Greg explained. Complacency can prove costly. The prospect of having to switch power companies is often a deterrent for many businesses, however ERM Business Energy can help make the process quick and easy.

“Our ERM Account Manager did all the work for us, so switching was easy. Now we know where we stand with our power bill every month. It’s always on time, it’s easy to understand and if I have any questions, I just shoot them an email and I get a prompt response, usually the same day,” said Greg. ERM Business Energy encourages businesses to look at the bottom line, when comparing electricity charges. Many retailers are seen to be offering big discounts, but in reality all that counts is how many cents per kilowatt hour businesses are paying. “When we switched to ERM, we saved about $8,000 to $10,000 per year,” Greg said. “That made a big difference to our business.” “And with ERM, we’re not locked in. There’s the Áexibility to leave whenever we want - although we’re 100% satisÀed, so we’re not going anywhere!” “I’d happily recommend ERM to any business looking for great service, simple billing and big savings.” To Ànd out how ERM Business Energy may be able to help your business, call 134 376.

Men sought over sexual assault FRANKSTON Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Team detectives are appealing for witnesses after a woman was sexually assaulted at Bayside Shopping Centre. The incident happened in a lift at the Beach St shopping centre on 8 February around 5.15pm. The victim, a 42-year-old woman cleaner at the centre, was cleaning the lift when two men entered on level one. One struck up a short conversation with the woman while the second grabbed her by her hand. The victim tried to pull her hand away but was unable to do so. The man then touched the woman inappropriately and kissed her hand. Both men got out of the lift at the underground car park and walked away. Detectives investigating the incident have released an image and CCTV footage of the men they believe may be able to assist the investigation. They are described as being in their late 60s, with one wearing a grey shirt and long pants and the other wearing shorts. Anyone with any information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

POLICE are investigating a sexual assault on the Frankston foreshore two weeks ago. A 15-year-old girl was walking along a makeshift footpath on the south bank of the Kananook Creek near the boat hire dock on Sunday 22 February at 3.35pm. The victim told police she was approached by a young man who tried to strike up a conversation. The girl said she found him hard to understand due to his accent and began to walk away. The man then grabbed her inappropriately several times before she managed to shove him out of her way. The man then ran away north along the creek bank. The man is described as being in his late teens or early 20s, of Indian or sub-Continental appearance, 165-170cm tall, brown hair, thin build, with stubble on his chin and a thick accent.

Political intrigue, missteps inspire satire ARTISTS Fran Henke and Tony Sowersby have had plenty of grist for their painting mills for this year’s Bald Archy Prize, the satirical portraiture contest that spoofs the Archibald Prize. It’s been a year of political intrigue and missteps to inspire the artists. Mrs Henke, a long-time Hastings resident, has entered Catgirl, also known as Minister for Foreign Affairs and deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop; Chairway to Heaven, her tribute to disability activist Stella Young; and When Charlie Met Ahmed, a collage tribute following the terrorist attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a late entry “which I donated to the Bald Archy Prize for its future and for which a significant bid has already been received”, she said. Her artist’s statements are: “Catgirl – Foreign Minister Julie Bishop clawed her way into Cabinet; performed in Parliament with feline ferocity; and has purred her way around world cat-astrophies – with class. “Chairway to Heaven – ‘I’ve been an atheist ... ever since I first heard that there was only a stairway to heaven,’ said Stella Young, journalist, disability advocate and comedian. Born with osteogenesis imperfecta, Stella used a wheelchair for most of her life, which ended too soon on 6 December 2014, aged 32. Noted also for her red polka dot shoes, Stella and her shoes winged their way up nevertheless. “When Charlie met Ahmed – the atrocities in Paris in January struck at the heart of the right to cartoon and caricature, bringing a small print run magazine to world prominence. The people came together en masse. In this

work, their face is represented by the Statue of Liberty, which was born in Paris. “Australia has a proud ‘black and white’ history from first publications on settlement through to Oz magazine and onwards. Not without challenge as Oz publishers were dragged through the courts for obscenity. Archibald prizewinner William Dobell also endured court action for his portrait of Joshua Smith, criticised by people as a caricature. Australia has also suffered at the hands of extremists – remember Martin Place. Lest We Forget.” Seaford artist Sowersby has entered Andrew Bolt has egg on his face as well as Jovial Joe.

“This is what right-wing commentator Andrew Bolt said during September 2013: ‘Abbott, whom I rate highly as an honest and moral man ... tells me Labor’s fall has underlined how critical it is for politicians to honour promises. He’s repeatedly vowed to make no promises he cannot keep ... Yes, Abbott is set to do better than anyone would once have thought. Including him ... I also trust his good heart. He will in time probably prove more popular than he’s recently become ... Bring on the return of integrity in politics ... Because – pssst – here’s the tip. Tony Abbott is actually a very nice and quite sensitive man ...’” Sowersby’s statement for Jovial Joe

reads: “When the grateful Australian nation erects a statue of Hockey, these words will be on the base: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempesttossed to me, And I will teach those leaning bludgers a lesson they’ll never forget! Sowersby has won the People’s

Choice award three times – in 1998, 2004, 2005 and 2014. He won the main prize in 2005 with a caricature of Tony Abbott and George Pell. The Bald Archy Prize was created in 1994 and attracts artists of all standards and styles. It encourages portraits ranging from hilarious to vulgar. The portraits are touring eastern Australia. Winners will be announced in July. More information: www. baldarchy.com.au Mike Hast

Plans for boardwalk beach access PLANS have been drawn up to build a boardwalk and viewing platform at Point Leo surf beach. The wooden structure which would provide easier access across sand dunes to the beach is being proposed by the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch with backing and labour from Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club and Point Leo Foreshore Committee. The project has been costed at $60,000 and Mornington Peninsula Shire is being asked to contribute $20,000. The DSA, which holds two surf events for disabled surfers a year, has several wheelchairs which can be used to carry disabled people to the beach but are difficult to handle if pushed by one person. The branch last year built a bitumen track from the car park to the lifesaving club and now wants to extend beach access with a boardwalk. “The aims are threefold, to provide access to the beach throughout the year for all abilities, such as people who have a disability, wheelchairs, aged and infirm and young families with prams,” committee member John Bowers said. The boardwalk would also provide views over the beach for lifesavers. “Currently, the vegetation obstructs a full view and with the viewing platform in its proposed location the view will never be blocked out,” Mr Bowers said. “On our surf event days wheelchair bound people are brought from the registration area [at the lifesaving clubhouse] to the beach on our

An easier way: There is no easy way for disabled surfers to get to the water at Point Leo. Special wheelchairs must be pushed and dragged onto the sand while the surfers wait their turn in the forecourt of the lifesaving club. Plans have been made for a boardwalk to make it more easy to access the beach. Pictures: Keith PLatt

Sandcruiser wheelchairs with a harness attachment and one person pulling and one pushing the chair through the sand. “These surfers are marshalled at the clubhouse where they do not have a view of the beach, excluding them from any involvement until they are

transferred to the beach. “The eventual aim is to have the Point Leo area as an all abilities area with appropriate facilities.” Mr Bowers said this would make Point Leo’s the peninsula’s only all abilities accessible surf beach.

“Most of the bayside beaches do not have appropriate access, either.” “About one in five people on the peninsula have a disability, our population is aging and with more people retiring to the area this means a major attraction cannot be utilised.”

Accessibility app A NEW app has been launched to show places around Frankston with access for the disabled. The Out & About app also shows wheelchair access, accessible toilets, disabled parking, accessible walking paths and hearing loops. Users can search by location, venue type or accessibility feature, such as wheelchair accessibility, accessible toilets, disabled parking, hearing loops or handrails. The app has been released by the not-for-profit disability and aged care services provider Villa Maria to “improve social inclusion for people with disabilities and mobility limitations”. Of the 2500-plus venues listed on the app, 65 are in Frankston including aquatic centres, restaurants and cafes, shopping centres, cinemas, museums and tourist attractions. Villa Maria wants to hear from Frankston residents about other accessible venues and events, to help build a list that will enable people to find the most suitable place for them. “We want to help people of all abilities find these places with the touch of a finger. The more venues and events we have on the app, the more useful it is to everyone,” executive manager marketing Rebecca Ryan said. Users can also make suggestions, write a review or rate a listing. To recommend a venue or event for inclusion, residents can download the app and follow the prompts, The app is available on Android and iPhone.

Top tips for first–time property investors Planning, research and good management will help you to enjoy your investment The purchase of your Àrst investment property marks an exciting new Ànancial phase in your life. It may also cause some butterÁies as you venture into this unfamiliar territory. As with any Àrst-term venture you may well encounter some problems but here are some tips that should help you to avoid, or at least reduce, some of the issues associated with being a landlord. Screen tenants Check their details carefully and contact their referees and former property managers. It takes time but it helps to ensure your property is in good hands. Watch the money Don’t let tenants get behind with payments or you’ll set an unfortunate precedent and Ànd yourself out of pocket. If payments are late take immediate action to show you mean business. Insure yourself A landlord insurance policy can cover you against potentially expensive payouts and loss of rental income. Among its beneÀts is the protection it can provide if tenants damage your property. Do your sums Rental income yields are below home loan interest rates, so make sure you can cover the interest cost differential. Other expenses could include council, land and water rates, and maintenance.

Plan for a rainy day As well as planning Ànancially for the expected, you need to anticipate and provide for the unexpected, such as an unplanned vacancy or a sudden interest rate rise. Put things right Failure to attend to maintenance issues could prove a legal liability risk for you if tenants are injured. Have repairs done as quickly as possible, and keep an eye on general maintenance. Keep your distance Resist any temptation to become your tenant’s new best friend; otherwise it could be difÀcult to take action if issues arise. This is a business relationship and should stay that way. Inspect regularly A minor maintenance problem now could become a costly repair job in the future. Regular inspections by you or your property manager can save a lot of time and trouble. Don’t be greedy If you try to squeeze every last dollar of rental income from your tenants, you might lose them. This could result in a vacancy that can be more expensive than taking less in rent. Consider delegating Many people dream of owning investment properties but don’t want the work of managing them. In that case, for a small percentage of the rental income it’s worth appointing a property manager with time and expertise to look after your investment.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Beware rabbit poisoning in process Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE ‘Argus’ acknowledges last week £6 from six commercial travellers, as a first instalment of £1 weekly each, while the war lasts, to the Belgium Fund. Included in this list of donors of £1 weekly is the name of Mr J. B. Jolly, of Frankston. *** THE district Rabbit Inspector wishes us to draw attention to the advertisement appearing in this issue warning persons not to interfere with any poisoning operations or other work, carried out by him, or his assistants, on any land. People who so offend are liable to a fine of £20, under section 37 of the Vermin Destruction Act. Interference may mean trespassing on land on which poisoning operations are being carried out, or setting traps, or shooting, or removing poisoned rabbits without the consent of the Inspector, etc. *** IT will be seen by advertisement in another column that the Westernport Progress Association have organized a second trip for this season, round Westernport Bay, by the S.S Genista, on Saturday, March 20th. A special train has been arranged to connect, leaving Flinders street at 8.10 a.m, stopping at all stations, and returning from Stony Point at 6.30 p.m. The boat will call at Cowes on the return voyage, and the Hastings Band will accompany the trip. This excursion is a delightful one and affords an opportunity of seeing the Naval Base and nearly all of the beautiful islands,

and bay of Westernport. The price of the tickets for the sea trip is three shillings and sixpence. The ordinary return fare from Stony Point to San Remo is 10 and the return voyage can only be made on the following day, whereas, on the excursion, the whole can be done on one day. *** WE are pleased to see that a meeting of the subscribers to the Frankston Patriotic Fund has been called for Monday next, at 8 p.m. We understand that there is a substantial sum of money in hand. The meeting will decide as to the disposal of this and will discuss the desirability of making a special appeal for the Belgian Relief Fund. There will be a subsequent meeting of the subscribers to the presentation fund to the members of the expeditionary forces, drawn from Frankston and the district. As all interested, whether previous subscribers or not, are invited to attend, it is hoped that there will be a large muster of the public. *** A MEETING of the committee of the Frankston Sports Club was held in Mechanics’ Institute on Monday evening, the President (Captain Sherlock being in the chair.) The secretary presented the balance sheet duly audited, of the New Year’s Day meeting which showed a profit of £28s 11d. On the motion of Mr Dalman, seconded by Mr McComb, £10 was voted towards the further fencing in of the park, and £23s 11d was voted to the Relief of the Belgian

fund. Captain Sherlock moved that an honorarium of five guineas be given to the secretary for the manner in which he had carried out the work in connection with the late sports. Seconded by Dr Plowman and carried, a unanimous vote of thanks was passed to the ladies who gratuitously ran the refreshment stall on sports day, resulting in the handsome sum of £7 10s being handed over to the committee. Messrs Dalman and McComb were also thanked for having taken the position of auditors at the last moment, owing to the auditors who had previously been appointed, not being available. The meeting then closed. *** THE meeting, convened by Miss B. Rogers, to consider in what way money could be raised for the Belgian Relief Fund, was held on Saturday night last, March 6th and was well attended. A good plan was thought out and is to be put into practice at once. It will appeal to everyone, as the amounts asked for are trifling, but, given at regular intervals, will soon mount up to a substantial sum, and everybody will have the satisfaction of knowing they did what they could. Collection cards are now in circulation (each member to have six and hold themselves responsible for them). All cards are numbered, and are to be checked on the 1st of every month, when the meetings are held. Following is the result of the election of office bearers President, Captain Sherlock; Vice presidents, Mesdames Mason and McCormack; Treasurer,

nothing to fear”? Have you got kids, grandkids? Sorry, you’re in the mix like it or not, personal freedom in danger. What happens if you’re identified in error? A Current Affair at your door for the ‘sensational’ angle no matter the truth? Metadata, like smoking and alcohol will be a case of “the more they get the more they want”. For your own good. They’re human beings; that’s what human beings do. A form of subtle degradations to our freedom in favour of authoritarianism, almost always historically involving corruption to some degree. As Lord Tony says: “There is no greater responsibility on me, on the government, than keeping you safe”. [On radio: “If you see something suspicious call the National Security Hotline] Refer R G Menzies “Reds under the bed”.

a prize duffer in the first place. One wonders if our pollies have noticed the drop in interest rates, obviously affecting pensioners and self-funded retirees with a few bob stashed away in term deposits paying peanuts. Hey - you Canberra suits, the deeming rates need adjusting down, NOW! Superannuation tax breaks, negative gearing and the use of trusts - I mention these on the chance our Treasurer is reading this column.

Mr Bert Hay; joint secretaries, Misses Gregory and Rogers. Committee — Misses Sherlock (2), Twining (2), Jackson, Reynolds, Hartland, Young, Mesdames Aitken and Beall, and Messrs Oates, Brody, and Beall. *** THE anniversary of the Main Creek Methodist Sunday School was celebrated on Sunday 28th February. On Monday night March 3rd a public meeting was held in the church and in spite of threatening weather, the building was filled. The entertainment was given by the scholars and teachers of the school, and the children deserved credit for the manner in which their parts were rendered. Mr J. Smith (superintendent of the school) opened the meeting with a hymn and prayer and introduced Sargent Baldry, who occupied the chair throughout the evening. A visit from Santa Claus was much appreciated by the little folk and proved the truth of the old adage, (It is better late than never.) The programme ran as follows. Opening hymn number 1. Sankey’s prayer ; chairman’s address. chorus ‘The shepherd folk’; recitation ‘After the battle,’ Miss Lottie Barker; recitation ‘My suggestion,’ Master Victor Lawford; solo, Miss Ruby Harvey ‘The Australian war song;’ recitation Master Norman Baldry, ‘Boy’s troubles’; solo Master Brinton, ‘The soldiers keepsake;’ Children ‘Patriotic banner march’; recitation Miss McIlroy ‘Tell the rope-maker’ recitation Master Horrie Shand; recitation, Miss Ethel Baldry, ‘When should he come;’

solo Miss Lottie Barker, A Japanese refrain’; recitation Miss Ruby Harvey ‘The lesson in the train’ recitation Lorna Baldry. ‘The Xmas log;’ collection; organ solo, Mrs Brady; children, Xmas glee, ‘Here comes jolly old Santa Claus; solo, Father Xmas, recitation Mrs McIlroy, Handing down;’ solo Master Brinton ‘The song of the drummer’; distribution of prizes; God save the King; benediction. *** THE third annual sports in connection with the Naval Base was held on Saturday last, at which there was a good attendance. The day was very oppressive till about four o’clock when the wind changed to cool, which was a great relief both to onlookers and those taking part in the sports. The officers worked well in getting the long programme through and though a little behind time in starting owing to the lateness of the special train, they managed to keep well up to time. The entries were good, and in the majority of events the finishes were close and exciting. Mr W. H. Wilson, as secretary was the right man in the right place, and kept everything going with a good swing. The Hastings Brass Band was in attendance and played selections during the day. *** FLINDERS Shire Council. Saturday, February 27th, 1915. The monthly meeting of above was held at Dromana, on Saturday last. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 13 March, 1915

A Grain of Salt WHO is God? A tricky question. We all have two primary advisers: that little voice in your head and of course “they”. Discerning the various advisements from “they” is as difficult as the various interpretations in the bible. “They” spend lots of time on television, radio and obviously are well known as psychologists, the AMA (Masters of “they”), health food proprietors, and almost every person of the wowser type. The Wallabies, Hawks, Ricky Ponting, Mark Webber; seemingly all famous people join the “they” clan and recommend Swisse as the path to health and happiness. (Or Blackmores for only $37.99 at Chemist Warehouse; great value “they” say). “They” are big on the word “organic”. Tea bags, eggs, you name it. Good advice, “they” say. I like white bread, but “they” say no, the brown grainy bread is the go? So there I sit nightly on my Unicare lounge chair, Dettol sprayed coffee table watching Midsomer Murders, a Swisse pill, organic green tea with a dash of permeate free milk, toast of brown grainy bread and organic jam, knowing all is well on the health front. Previous addictions cigarettes and that “disgusting” habit being almost forgotten dreams. *** Metadata! The Australian Federal Police honcho wants power to access personal computer histories to help catch criminals. The possibility of misuse screams loud and clear. Power control freaks at work. No computer, no iPhone? Safe on the principle “If you’ve got nothing to hide you’ve got

*** More often than not the problem is we subconsciously assume trust forgetting the obvious human element throughout every walk of life. The NAB scandal and compensation payouts as a result of self-interested financial advisers are “inappropriate practices”. Who would have thought? Other examples in everyday living associated with natural trust by way of human nature. So you’re gone into the NAB for financial advice, or any bank for that matter, and possibly due to a conflict of interest you’ve lost a few thousand dollars. What can I say? Sorry? Where did the brilliant idea banks were there to help you first pop into your skull? Let’s be honest, you were

*** The AFL football season looms, aside from the rubbish at the start to make money at our expense. An extra $25 for six months to watch Rupert’s Foxtel. My foolproof system of watching my mighty Magpies. Tape it obviously, watch from the first bounce, switch to a good murder mystery if my boys get two goals behind and, after the match, delete if we lose and watch it all (maybe twice) if we win, (three times if we beat Hawthorn). Fast forward the half-time nonsense from ex-footballers purported to now being expert commentators who almost all love the sound of their own voices and show us lots of intelligent moves in that first half we somehow missed. *** That’s the beauty of Rye. Along comes the perfect sunny days, lazy days with the ever present background of those jet skis, rising to a sound equal only to Beethoven’s 5th. For this we are ever thankful to our thoughtful Mornington Peninsula Council, who in their wisdom have

By Cliff Ellen upgraded access at Rye so that we non jet ski enthusiasts can experience the true love and art of music. *** I’m against capital punishment; all cases being political. If I had my way I’d lean heavily towards life imprisonment with, in severe cases, a private parts dismemberment. *** Where did I ever get the idea George Brandis would make a good Minister for the Arts?... Privatising utilities will ALWAYS drive prices up. End of discussion...The National Party’s Andrew Broad suggesting our homes be included in the assets test; one way to get noticed, however stupid...Strange how our government puts these seemingly minor surcharges on certain necessary prescriptions...Boycott Bali and penalise innocent Balinese workers? Must I take the blame for Ronald Ryan’s hanging? Well yes - I haven’t been to Coburg since

1967...“The new Sportsbet cashcard. You can collect at any ATM. And that cash is ALL yours” Yeah-right...Monday 23/2, the night Lachy Hulme arrived in Gallipoli on Channel 9; so?... Maybe if they built a yellow submarine; frighten off the sharks and a well-known theme song... Bring back Sarah Ferguson. *** “How anybody expects a man to stay in business with every two-bit wowser in the country claiming a veto over what we can say and can’t say and what we can show and what we can’t show it’s enough to make you throw up. The whole principle is wrong; it’s like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can’t eat steak”. [Robert Heinlein]. “We are getting on with government. That’s what we do” [Tony Abbott]... hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond.com www.ello8.com Frankston Times 9 March 2015

Red Hill Show’s pole position THE Red Hill Show is now just three weeks away. Submission day for the Show’s many competition categories is looming. Cakes need to be baked, cheeses aged and alpacas groomed. But with only two weeks before their totem pole needs to be constructed, the horticulture staff at the Karingal organisation, led by Senior Site Manager John Proudlock, still appear very relaxed. Six years ago the team, together with the intellectually and physically disabled adults who attend the centre in Rosebud every day, began entering the Red Hill Show’s Decorated Shoe competition. The Red Hill Show ribbons on the wall celebrate their finest competitive moments, including ‘Shoe Horn’ (a shoe adorned with a bull’s horn), ‘Tap Shoe’ (literally a bathroom tap within a shoe) and ‘Boot Scoot’ (a boot attached to a scooter). “No one got that one except for me; it was too obscure for the judges” Proudlock says of ‘Shoo Fly’; a shoe with a jeans zipper instead of laces. ”Tough As Old Boots: that was when we just got an old boot and stuck some knives and forks in it.”

When the Decorated Shoe competition wound up three years ago, the Karingal team switched their focus to the Best Decorated Totem Pole competition. And on this sunny afternoon, the totem pole concepts are flying. “Icy Pole – a totem pole made of ice.” “Pole Dancer – we could do something with that!” “What about a Pole-a Bear?!” “The judge for the Totem Pole Competition, she used to work for McLelland Gallery, and she actually selected all the artwork to go along Peninsula Link,” says Proudlock. With that insider information, the team have a new plan: build a totem pole designed specifically to appeal to judge Charlotte Carter. On Red Hill Show Day – Saturday March 28th - look out for a totem pole inspired entirely by Peninsula Link sculptures. “A Tree of Life totem pole…..stick a ram’s head on top of it….it’s Year of the Goat!” The Red Hill Show will be held on Saturday, March 28th. Some competition categories are still accepting entries – visit redhillshow.com.au for details.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

An open letter to the Essendon Football Club By Stuart McCullough CALL it fate. Or kismet. But whatever it is, it’s clear that the stars are well and truly aligned. Here you are, in need of players to field a team. And here am I; with a spare pair of boots, shorts that leave little to the imagination and a whole lot of time on my hands. Destiny has brought us together. In anticipation of your call, I have commenced an exacting regimen of physical training. I’ve done at least a dozen pushups, albeit not all at once and not whilst lying down (the floor needed a vacuum). I am now in the greatest shape in my life, which I think might be a squircle, and I am ready to make my debut as a professional footballer. I was always destined to be a professional athlete. But more than just supreme skills, I bring something to the table other players simply cannot: life experience. This should be of considerable interest to your football club. For starters, unlike most new recruits, I will not have a ridiculous haircut. This is attributable both to old-fashioned common sense as well as a shortage of material. Nor will I decorate myself like a human colouring book as so many footballers do, looking like they’re on day release rather than the interchange bench. As for the risk of staying out late and doing something stupid at a nightclub, rest assured – it’s hard to make a goose of yourself when you’re in bed by ten o’clock after binge-watching episodes of ‘The Wire’. Monosyllabic press conferences will be a thing of the past. In fact, forget

press conferences altogether. Instead, I’ll invite journalists over for a fullblown dinner party with cabana and barbecue shapes, cheese fondue and a fruit platter – the works. There will be no more grunting or glazing over in response to questions from the press as I expound at length. I will never, ever say that I’m taking things ‘one game at a time’, preferring instead to hand out

copies of my five year strategic plan to members of the assembled media. Yes sir, things are going to be different. That’s not the only change I plan to make. I will not refer to my teammates as ‘the boys’. It’s a term that’s always made me feel uncomfortable; suggesting, as it does, that many of our professional athletes are in a state of perpetual arrested development that sees

them lumped with the emotional intelligence of a twelve year old. I realize that it’s supposed to make it sound as though the group is an indivisible entity, but who are we kidding? Football clubs are, like most workplaces, replete with petty jealousies and conflict driven by the unauthorized taking of the last tub of yoghurt from the communal fridge. These disputes are the reason ‘trade week’ was invented. It’s time for honesty. From now on, other players will be ‘workmates’ or, if strictly necessary, ‘colleagues’. As a past player of the Tyabb Junior Football Club, you should be happy to have me. But if I really do need to list my achievements in order to get you over the line, so be it. At the 1984 Club Pie Night and Raffle Draw, I was awarded ‘Best Dressed’. The following year I backed that up with a certificate for ‘Most Punctual’. Say what you will about the Brownlow, but it’s no substitute for turning up on time. For three years running, I got a small statuette describing me as the ‘most improved’ player. Assuming that I have continued that stunning trajectory, it boggles the mind to think about how good I must be by now. I was a halfback flanker. To this day, I hear people on the street describing me a flanker. That said, my hearing is not what it used to be and I’ll concede that these people may, in fact, be referring to me as something that simply sounds like ‘flanker’. I am also an excellent tackler. During an awkward growth spurt in the mid-eighties, I even perfected the art of tackling

myself. The ball would be heading in my general direction and I would start running only to immediately fall over. It did wonders for my match stats. If that doesn’t persuade you, consider this: Tyabb is just one town over from Hastings. And Hastings produced the greatest player ever to strap on the boots for your club, namely John Coleman. It would be a sentimental pick. Although I can’t claim to have kicked as many goals on the football field a John Coleman, I have kicked many other goals in life more generally, including a killer reverse park opposite the supermarket just last week. But, fact is, I’m only writing this letter because I’m starting to get concerned. I would have thought you’d have phoned by now. Essendon: it’s time to think way, way, way outside the box. Pick me to join your rag-tag bunch of underdogs. I am prepared to supply my own boots, socks, oranges and have even come up with my own nickname: the Exfoliater. I’m not sure what it means, but it sure sounds impressive. I realize you’ve got plenty on your mind and to expedite the process, I’ve also enclosed a sample to test at your convenience. Careful with the lid, though, as I’m not sure it’s watertight. Please send through the dates and times for training sessions when you get a chance. If, despite this letter, you decide not to select me, please retain the sample as my gift to you. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Graze the Bays is ready to rumble. Or at least appease that tummy rumble! Graze the Bays - an event that celebrates the Peninsula’s great food and beverages with a core focus of seafood - is counting the sleeps until its debut. The Masterclasses are one of the best value sessions in this year’s Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, with 1 hour sessions at just $25. Places are however limited. Graze is designed to be just that – the opportunity to Graze on various tasty treats – whilst enjoying local wines, beers, ciders and spirits. The seafood selection includes Port Phillip Bay mussels, paella, local squid, sliders and more. With two Mornington Peninsula wine varietals having won more gold medals than anywhere else in Australia why wouldn`t you check out how good Peninsula wine producers are? The seafood producers and businesses of the region are equally proud of their product; many are involved with the initiative to endorse the quality of our marine harvests with a specific event. Whilst for many the Bays molluscs may take centre stage, the ‘Graze Live Stage’ is predominantly dedicated to the preparation and cooking of all kinds of seafood. Masters have kindly donated the kitchen, and Graze the Bays is proud to have two Foxtel shows prevalent in the on stage

entertainment. Charlie Micallef, a local media personality will be filming with his team from Savage Seas and The Australian Seafood Show. The beautiful and historic Morning Star Estate in Mount Eliza with its sweeping Bay views is the venue for this family friendly day out. Graze is a free entry event, although parking is by gold coin donation and $5 tasting packs will need to be purchased for the consumption of alcohol. Graze is a strictly non BYO alcohol and food event.

SPIBY HITS DAVEYS By Melissa Walsh Michael Spiby brings his magical style of music to Daveys on Thursday April 23, for his Michael Spiby Get On Board tour. Many magical things have happened during Spiby’s musical life. And after fronting one of our most-loved bands, The Badloves, Michael is now focusing full-time on his solo career. The Badloves released just two studio albums 1993’s Get On Board (which spent 69 weeks on the charts, peaking at number five) and 1995’s Holy Roadside (which went gold and reached number 14). The first concert Spiby attended was by the band Stylus, by default. “My great-aunt had her birthday dinner at the Croxton Park Hotel. We were about to go home when a band started setting up, so we stayed for the show. At that stage, I had no intention of being a musician. But I remember dad’s remark: “Look how skinny their legs are – you could be a musician, too,” says Spiby with a laugh. Despite his dad’s advice, Michael actually set out to become a teacher. But his life changed one unforgettable day at Frankston Teachers College. “I came out of a psychology lecture and heard

a band sound checking,” he recalls. “I stuck around for the gig and even though only about 20 people were there, they were just phenomenal. That gig instantly changed my career path.” The band was Cold Chisel. Years later, Michael found himself in the Top 10 with Jimmy Barnes, with The Badloves and Barnesy’s classic cover of The Weight. Michael is now working to his own schedule. He’s also been in the studio with Tasmania’s acclaimed Southern Gospel Choir, co-producing their second album, High On A Mountain. “I’ve always been a daydreamer,” Spiby says, “and that’s how I write songs. Things happen when I daydream – magic things. I can see why band members evolve into solo acts. I feel the only way I can make music is to follow my own instinct, without compromise, and see what comes out.” It promises to be an exciting future for an artist with a fascinating past. Check out Michael Spiby at Daveys Frankston on Thursday April 23. Tickets are $25, available at the venue and Moshtix.

WILD AND WONDERFUL By Melissa Walsh WYLIE & THE WILD WEST (USA) will be setting The Hallam Hotel on fire this Wednesday March 18, the coolest cowpoke going around. Wylie Gustafson is a native Montanan singer-songwriter who lives the songs he writes. With three decades of writing, recording and performing under his belt, Wylie has matured into a dynamic talent, and has become one of the few authentic voices of the West. Forget everything you hate about modern country, this guy is old-school cool without being a tired period piece. His friendly demeanor is born from his unpretentious life as a working class cow-horseman on the remote rangelands of the American high-plains. For over the last 25 years, Wylie and his band, The Wild West, have performed their refreshing blend of cowboy, swing, folk and yodeling music worldwide. Wylie’s dynamic stage presence keeps getting him invited back to venues year after year. As a seasoned singersongwriter with over a dozen nationally distributed albums under his belt, Wylie has etched his presence onto the American music scene and is the originator of the High Plains Yodeling style which evokes the loneliness of his northern Montana home. Tickets are from $27. Buy online or purchase at the venue.

Sorras win a thriller PROVINCIAL By IT Gully SORRENTO gets another crack at a Provincial pennant after drawing on first innings with Long Island in the semi final on the weekend. Resuming on the second day at 7/68 with star Nick Jewell still at the crease, Sorrento was eventually bowled out for 92, the same score Long Island made the day before. Given Sorrento finished higher on the ladder, that was enough to get them through to the grand final. Long Island administrators will still be regretting the error in clearing Brad Denny, which cost them the outright win against Rye and 20 points. These 20 points would have seen Long Island finish on top of the ladder and advance to the grand final after drawing with Sorrento. Instead of clearing Denny from Peninsula Old Boys, where he played one game last season, they cleared him from Somerville. It was a tough call from the MPCA but the rules are the rules. After drawing the semi final with Sorrento, the Islanders batted again

but conceded the match after falling quickly to 7/47. Scott Phillips made a pair of ducks, however he did snare seven wickets, including a hat–trick that netted Anthony Blackwell, Jack Falck and Leigh Poholke. On the opening day of the match, Blackwell snared 6/5 off 11 overs while Andrew King picked up 3/23. The excitement in the match, other than 27 wickets falling, was a streaker! Late on the second day in the other semi final between Peninsula Old Boys and Baxter, the game was evenly poised after POB won the toss and batted first. The Old Boys made 9/224 in their 80 overs, Jon Forrest top scoring with 47, while Matt Hyden scored 38, Brandon Lawler 31 and Dylan O’Malley 25. Baxter lost their first wicket on the second day for 42, before Shane McComb was run out and Ben Matters was caught behind. At that stage Baxter was 3/65. After tea on Sunday, Baxter had regained the upper hand at 3/46 with Daniel Warwick and Dale Irving still at the crease nearing their 50’s.

Evenly poised: It was a close match between Peninsula Old Boys and Baxter. Picture: Andrew Hurst

District games go to wire

DISTRICT By IT Gully THE District semi finals still had plenty of life in them at tea on the second day. While Somerville won on first innings against Seaford, Red Hill was still needing 30 runs with two wickets in hand in their match against Main Ridge. Seaford needed 25 runs with one wicket in hand at the beginning of the second day of their match at Somerville. However, Nick Simpendorfer could only add a further five runs to his overnight total of 39 before going out. Seaford was bowled out for 97, giving Somerville a first innings lead of 17. Somerville was cruising in its second innings at 3/63, however, had slumped to 7/94 at tea – a lead of 123. Given there were only 40 overs left in the match at that point, the Eagles were in the box seat. There were some however who believed that a target of 140 off 20 overs would still be achieveable for Seaford, considering their batting line up. In the other semi final, the all-conquering Red Hill was still 30 runs from victory at tea against Main Ridge on the second day. The Hillmen were cruising at 2/70, chasing Main Ridges’ 158, however, at tea were reeling at 8/128. With Nick Esipoff still at the crease, anything was possible for the home side. Brad Rossborough top scored for the Ridge with a half century. At tea, Rossborough had claimed two wickets and Jason Albress had claimed three.

Box seat: Somerville were coming along nicely on the last day. Picture: Andrew Hurst Frankston Times 9 March 2015

Panthers claw thrilling victory SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully PEARCEDALE will play Rosebud in the Sub District grand final this weekend after each recording thrilling semi final victories last weekend. After scoring just 101, Pearcedale successfully defended the total, rolling YCW in dramatic circumstances two runs short of the total. The Stonecats resumed at 2/35 on Sunday but lost two quick wickets and the game was even once again. Paul Bradley, Pat Falzon and Paul Fulton threatened to take the game away from Pearcedale, getting within 15 runs of the total before Bradley was caught and Falzon was trapped in front. Andrew Kitson was removed for a duck and this left Fulton and his son Sam to get the half a dozen runs needed for victory. Paul Fulton went for a quick single on the arm of Pearcedale skipper Kaine Smith, which left his 16-yearold son Sam short by at least two metres. There were another 40-odd overs left in the match. YCW lost their last four wickets for 12 runs. Shayne Gillings finished with seven wickets for Pearcedale after top scoring with 33 on the opening day. At tea on the second day, Pearcedale was batting out the overs and were 1/17. Rosebud beat Tootgarook on the first day of their semi final. Tootgarook batted first and were bowled out for just 64. Jason Nagel was sensational for the Buds with 6/13. In reply, the Buds got to 5/65 at stumps, a lead of one. The home side and flag favorites were eventually bowled out on the second day for 111, a lead of 46.
