Waste not want not

Galactic quest for universal beauty PAGENT queen Jessica Martini, above, has already taken on the world; now she’s ready to conquer the galaxy. The 25-year-old Hastings resident is representing the Mornington Peninsula as one of four Victorian finalists in the Miss Galaxy Australia pageant. Having previously competed in

the Miss World and Miss Humanity pageants, Ms Martini hit new heights after being selected as a national finalist in the international pageant. Should she win the Miss Australia title at next month’s national finals in Queensland, she’ll be heading to the United States to compete with the

world’s most beautiful women for the Miss Galaxy crown. Ms Martini said that while Miss Galaxy entrants were judged on their outward appearance, organisers placed a heavy emphasis on “overall” beauty and strongly encouraged charity work. Continued Page 14

By Mike Hast THE shire council wants residents to halve the 30,000 tonnes of food waste, garden clippings, rubbish and recyclables being sent to rubbish tips, or landfill, each year. Mornington Peninsula Shire launched its “Think Less Waste” campaign this month and is seeking households to join the three-month trial. The campaign follows revelations last year the shire’s only landfill in Truemans Rd, Rye, could be filled in five years, and dumping costs were rising at all Victorian landfills. The peninsula’s waste management group, which includes councillors and shire officers, will lose its independence this year when it is forced by the state government to join the Melbourne metropolitan waste group. This could see even higher waste fees being paid by peninsula residents. It is in all residents’ interests to keep the Rye tip open for as long as possible. Think Less Waste is a free, threemonth program that provides information, resources, tools and workshops for residents to reduce waste and save money. Households taking part will receive facts sheets, hints and tips to reduce waste in the home as well as shopping smarter; access to experts; free admittance to events and workshops; and a toolkit. The shire said new research showed half of all waste in household rubbish bins was “needlessly going to landfill”. An audit had revealed 40 per cent of an average household garbage bin was “food waste that could have been composted or avoided all together”. Ten per cent of waste being put in

the green bins was materials including steel cans and cardboard that could be recycled. The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said “if all residents knew about the full range of items that could be recycled, and more of us started home composting, we could make a huge dent in our waste figures”. She said some residents were putting the wrong things in recycling bins. “Plastic bags, and recyclable items in plastic bags, were key contaminants found in kerbside recycling bins. “One contaminated kerbside recycling bin can result in the whole truck of recyclables being sent to landfill.” For more information or to sign up, go to: www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/thinklesswaste or email thinklesswaste@ mornpen.vic.gov.au The campaign is on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/thinklesswaste

Clean up: A new shire campaign hopes to reduce food waste and recylables going to landfill with a side benefit of less rubbish in public places.

Young lifesavers bring home the spoils SURFBOAT rowers of Mornington Life Saving Club have again brought home the spoils after successful events in Victoria and NSW. The club’s surfboat manager, Kevin Spooner, said the under-23 men represented Victoria at the Australian Surfboat Rowers League championships at Stockton in NSW after winning the gold medal at Victorian Surfboat Rowers League state championship at Seaspray and silver at Life Saving Victoria state championships at Ocean Grove. Sunday 2 March was another red letter day for the club when it christening its surfboat, Dave “Fergie” Ferguson, at Fairhaven on the surf coast. Mr Spooner said Fergie set up surfboat racing at the club and had given 50 years of service to the lifesaving movement. Money for the boat came from Bernie Taylor and the Grand Hotel in Mornington. During the season, Mornington’s under-23 women won pennants at Point Leo and Lorne carnivals. “They were the only women’s crew willing to tackle challenging conditions at the Fairhaven carnival just prior to the state championships at Ocean Grove where the won the bronze medal,” Mr Spooner said. “This was after winning three races and finishing second in the fourth lead-up races before the final. “They were smashed by a wave at the start of the final but still managed to fight back and finish third. They had only been together for the last four events due to injury.” Mr Spooner said while training at

Many hands make safety net in the shore break By Keith Platt BEING held underwater in the washing machine-like throws of a shore break is not easy at the best of times. It’s daunting and can be terrifying. But to be dumped when you can’t use your legs, which are wrapped in a sort of rubberised cocoon, must surely be the stuff of nightmares. However, Krista Bailey felt “so safe” when it happened to her at Point Leo. “I could feel arms grabbing me – I knew I wasn’t alone,” she said. Ms Bailey was one of 118 people with physical and mental disabilities at the beach for a “surfing experience” courtesy of the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers Association. On Saturday 15 March the wind was offshore and the waves not huge, although size doesn’t matter when they rear up and crash onto the sand. Nearly 260 volunteers were on hand to help people with disabilities enjoy a day at the beach. Ms Bailey’s wipeout came when she fell off while lying on a surfboard being pushed by a wave to the beach through a channel formed between two lines of people. The 20 or so people forming the human safety net were standing about a metre apart, ready to reach down and pick her up if she fell off the board. Without this “zone of security” there was no way many of the disabled surfers would be able to even contemplate entering the water, let along catch a wave.

“I got dumped and it was so good,” Ms Bailey, now sitting high and dry in a wheelchair, tells a passing DSA volunteer who said he’d heard about her underwater experience. “You feel so safe. I’ve never been dumped before, but I could feel their arms grabbing me when I was under water and I knew I wasn’t on my own. “I can sort of paddle in a pool, but there’s no way I could survive out here, no way.” With a disarming candour, Ms Bailey told The News: “I will not have a normal lifespan, my heart and lungs are muscles. I doubt I’ll get to 80, it will kill me.” The “it” she is speaking about is Friedreich’s ataxia, a degenerative muscular disease described by the state government-funded Better Health Channel as a “relatively rare inherited disease of the nervous system characterised by the gradual loss of coordination”. “The affected person is unable to control their muscles, which leads to tremors, an unsteady gait and slurred speech. To the casual observer, a person with Friedreich’s ataxia may seem to be drunk.” Ms Bailey’s diagnosis fits in with the normal onset of symptoms, “kicking in” when she was 13. Now 44, she remembers being considered “the klutz of the family”, the one who bumped into things because she was in a hurry. “Mum used to say I was like a bull in a china shop.” After her diagnosis, Ms Bailey underwent surgery for curvature of

the spine, but nothing could stop the steady onset of the disease. “Until then I was active like any other kid, riding bikes and everything else. I didn’t know anything was wrong. “But once I had the diagnosis I knew my nerves weren’t working properly.” Her sister, older by six years, was found to be clear of Friedreich’s ataxia but her younger brother “got his [positive] diagnosis in his 20s after it kicked in when he was about 18”. Ms Bailey says her three children –

daughters 18 and 24 and a 16-year-old son - “are carriers, but won’t suffer it and at least they now know that it’s in the family”. There are no records of any family members other than Ms Bailey and her brother having Friedreich’s ataxia. These days Ms Bailey keeps herself as active as possible. It was her third time surfing at Point Leo and she has been participating in the Sailability program at Mornington Yacht Club for the past nine years. She also goes to a gym and has hydrotherapy once a week.

The advance of Friedreich’s ataxia is something she “only notices every now again when I realise I can’t do something that was possible a year before”. The relative rareness of the condition means that there are just 69 Australian contributors to a Facebook page established to help the “fight against” the disease. “I get shitty at it but consider myself very lucky – I’ve seen others who are worse than me, but haven’t had [the onset of] the disease for as long,” Ms Bailey said.

Drive to put young passengers in control By Chris Brennan MT Eliza Secondary College students have given the thumbs up to a new road safety initiative that aims to save young lives by encouraging teenage passengers to provide a positive influence on drivers. The Mornington Peninsula secondary school was the first in the state to participate in the new Fit2Drive workshop, now set to be rolled out across Victoria. The workshop targets the state’s 60,000 year 11 students and aims to change attitudes to road safety by encouraging friends and passengers to intervene to persuade young drivers against dangerous behaviour such as speeding, using mobile devices while behind the wheel and drink-driving. The workshop includes group discussions, using scenarios to explore strategies to keep young people and their friends safe, role-playing to support the development of problem-solving skills, and development of personal and school road safety plans. Fit2Drive patron and Victoria Police road policing commander Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill visited the college on Thursday to launch the program. He said the workshop would help young people better understand the risks involved in driving and would empower them to challenge dangerous behaviours among their peers. “Young people continue to be over-

represented in road trauma,” Mr Hill said. So far this year, 58 people have been killed on Victorian roads, 14 more than the same time last year, a trend Mr Hill labelled “extremely concerning”. “To have lost so many people already this year is devastating,” he said. “As a community we cannot accept this. We have to take a stand and help each other. If you know someone who shouldn’t be driving, you have a responsibility to say something.” Roads Minister Terry Mulder, who attended the launch, said it was vital young people who would soon start driving and whose friends may already be driving were given the skills to avoid negative peer pressure and handle potentially dangerous situations. “The dangers of irresponsible behaviour on the roads can be dire,” Mr Mulder said. “Teenagers need skills and practical strategies to get themselves out of potentially dangerous situations. This behaviour change workshop is an important part of assisting young passengers and drivers to stay safe on our roads. That’s why it is important we get it into as many secondary schools as possible.” Peninsula MP and Education Minister Martin Dixon said the revamped F2D workshops involved input from the police and Metropolitan Fire Brigade, whose members were often first responders to accidents.

AT THE ECO LIVING DISPLAY CENTRE

He said the workshop was targeted at teenagers as they neared driving age in order to change attitudes before they get behind the wheel and to reinforce the positive influence they could have as passengers on drivers. “Peer group pressure can influence the way young people behave in a vehicle, so I’m pleased the workshops are providing a stronger focus on passenger safety,” Mr Dixon said. F2D Foundation secretary Graham Spencer said the workshop was delivered by trained university students and included group discussions that used various scenarios to explore strategies to keep young people and their peers safe. He said surveys completed by nearly 1000 students taking part in a trial of the program indicated the workshop was being well received, with about 70 per cent of participants indicating they would use the strategies to avoid risky situations in the car as a passenger or driver all or most of the time. Students doing the workshop said it made them realise that “it doesn’t have to be you driving to help make driving decisions”, Mr Spencer said. He said the program also gave an insight into the impact an accident could have on not only victims and their friends and families, but also on police, fire brigade and ambulance paramedics called to attend often horrific scenes of death and carnage.

Big send-off for former fire chief Brian Potter By Mike Hast THE man who blew the whistle on the CFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fiskville training centre scandal was sent off with full honours last month at a private funeral service at St Judeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church in Langwarrin and a memorial service at Langwarrin fire station. Brian Potter, 70, was the CFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief between 1985 and his retirement in late 1991. He spoke out for fair treatment of firefighters suffering from cancers related to their work, especially those who had died young after being exposed to cancer-causing chemicals at Fiskville in the 1970s and 1980s. Dozens of cancer cases were linked to the use of chemicals at the centre, and the CFA was criticised for being too slow to react to concerns. Mr Potter had a rare auto-immune disease and suffered from a series of cancers over about 20 years after working at Fiskville, north of Melbourne. In 2011 he revealed firefighters were exposed to contaminated water and chemicals that had been burnt and buried at the facility, prompting the Premier, Ted Baillieu, to set up an inquiry. After its recommendations were handed down in June 2012, the CFA altered its work practices. Mr Potter lobbied for changes to laws to give greater access to workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; compensation for firefighters with cancer. The changes have not yet been supported by the Victorian government but have been passed in South Australia, Tasmania and DECKING T/Pine 70x22 KD ACQ ...........................

Western Australia. In 2012, Mr Potter was told by the CFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurer that his cancers were not related to exposure to chemicals during his 33 years with the authority. He was denied compensation after earlier being told by the CFA and state government that CFA fireys would be looked after. Mr Potter joined Upper Ferntree Gully CFA as a volunteer in 1958 and became a staff member in 1964. He was involved with major fires in Gippsland in 1965, where he and his crew were burnt when they became trapped between two fire fronts. He was chief of several CFA regions during his career, and was appointed

boss of training at Fiskville in 1978 and the CFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy chief officer in 1980, responsible for training, communications, fire safety, research and development, and the design and introduction of new equipment. In 1981 he was awarded the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fire Service Medal for distinguished service. After Ash Wednesday in 1983, the CFA sent Mr Potter to the United States, Austria and England to investigate improved command and control methods, training, communications, and trends in firefighting vehicles and equipment. Appointed chief officer in 1985, he successfully lobbied the state

short-term consultancies to the CFA following major fires in 2006-07 and Black Saturday in 2009. CFA chief officer Euan Ferguson said Mr Potter had left a lasting legacy to Victoria and wider with achievements such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;overseeing the largest truck building program in CFA history after the 1983 bushfires, providing expert advice to Spanish fire authorities on the use of aircraft on bushfires, and overseeing the issue of a firefighting appliance to every fire brigade in the state, the first time this had ever occurredâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brian remained involved in CFA as a member of Langwarrin fire brigade, and was recently awarded the National Medal, his 55-year service award, and life membership of CFA,â&#x20AC;? he said. A guard of honour flanked Centre Rd in Langwarrin when Mr Potterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffin was carried on an old Dodge fire truck between St Judeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the fire station. The procession was headed by members of the CFA Motorcycle Club and the Firemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer was read at the fire station. Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley was in the guard of honour. Mr Potter is survived by his wife Diane, four children and 10 grandchildren.

LETTERS Return old bus shelter WE, the long-suffering public transport users of the Mornington Peninsula, demand that Mornington Peninsula Shire stops replacing the old bus shelters that provided proper shelter in all weather and gave us all enough room to sit down. The new bus shelters are ineffective, open to vandalism and simply hopeless, not to mention ugly. Who makes these stupid decisions at the council? We demand that council put back the old shelter on the corner of Main and Cromwell streets, Mornington, and also put back the rubbish bin that has been removed. Anna Samuelssen, Dromana

Widespread Widesprea d disease THE devastating effects of asbestos diseases continue to impact thousands of Australian families each year and new research shows the effects are more widespread than previously thought. Southern Cross University launched the research this week that investigated the social, psychological and economic impacts of asbestos-related diseases on sufferers, carers and their families. Researchers were able to gain valuable insight from participants of a peer-topeer online community, the “Dusted Community”, and what they found was that those living in regional areas were often isolated and looking for a way to connect with people in similar situations. An important part of the research showed emerging technology has a role to play in reducing the social isolation. Perhaps online communities such as this is the way forward in helping provide support for those feeling isolated while dealing with this deadly disease. I must commend all the online community participants for being so brave and sharing their experiences. We see first-hand how families are

affected by asbestos, which is why we wholeheartedly support any effort that will hopefully lead to further research and, one day, a cure. Joanne Wade, asbestos lawyer, Slater & Gordon Senior

Talk about about alcohol ALCOHOL-fuelled violence has been a hot topic for years, but lately public debate has shifted to the underlying Australian drinking culture at the heart of the issue. VicHealth’s research shows drinking is seen as normal in most social situations, from funerals to children’s birthday parties, at the footy and everything in between. In fact, the only places where Australians think it’s not right to drink are at church, a baby shower and a study group. So it’s not surprising we are starting to question whether alcohol – and quite often a lot of it – is needed to enjoy our social lives. VicHealth thinks this conversation is an important step toward changing the culture of alcohol in Victoria. Together with the state government, we are almost at the end of our summer campaign to get people talking. We’ve asked Victorians aged 16 to 29 to come up with a creative name for the point in the night when clear thinking turns into more drinking. We’ve had a great response so far from thousands of young people who are ready to talk about alcohol. The competition is down to the final 20 names. We encourage all Victorians to go to www.namethatpoint.com to take part in the conversation. Anyone who votes for their top name has the chance to win $1000.

Horse talk: Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare group members Vicci and Ruby Halchenko, Sue Day, Helen Burke and Gai Van Staveren with Chopper the horse.

Horse talk proves fertile fodder PENINSULA horse owners are invited to a workshop hosted by Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare group to learn about sustainable horse property management. It will feature advice from experts Jane and Stuart Myers this Sunday at Boneo Park. Main Ridge property owners Gai and John Van Staveren attended the group’s first workshop and said it gave them knowledge and skills to work toward a well-managed horse property. “It was a tremendous opportunity to learn about sustainable property management,” Ms Van Staveren said. The couple bought their property three years ago and said they were overjoyed to finally have a place to enjoy with their children, grandchildren and animals. But they quickly realised their dream property was suffering invasion from pittosporum

and other weeds and was prone to pugging (soil structural decline) in winter. Like many “tree changers”, they had a strong desire to care for their land but had limited experience in sustainable land management. “Taking good care of our land is equally as important as caring for our horses,” she said. Ms Van Staveren has since become a champion for sustainable horse management and is now president of the Equine Landcare group. The Sustainable Horse Property Management workshop is from 9am-3.30pm on Sunday 30 March at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre, Boneo Rd. To book, email Vicci Halchenko at vic_jones6@ hotmail.com For more information about the Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare group, email jacqueline. salter@mornpen.vic.gov.au

Bullies have had their day MORNINGTON Peninsula schools were last week at the forefront of efforts to put an end to bullying. On Friday, Nepean MP and Education Minister Martin Dixon marked the first anniversary of the National Day of Action against Bullying, which aims to stamp out bullying in schools. “During the past year, thousands of students have pledged to be ‘bully stoppers’ and hundreds of thousands of parents, teachers and children have taken on the message of the Bully Stoppers movement – make a stand, lend a hand,” Mr Dixon said. “One in five students nationally is impacted by bullying and the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence is a great opportunity to reaffirm the state government’s commitment to stop bullying in all its forms, and recognise the significant progress schools have made since Bully Stoppers began.” A young Mornington Peninsula woman, Hannah, has been behind local efforts to highlight the effects of bullying. The 19-year-old last week was at Mornington Peninsula radio station RPP-FM to describe her battle to overcome the scars of bullying.

“I have been diagnosed with major depression due to being bullied all my schooling days by students and on social media,” she said. “Some of the names I was getting called gave me low self-esteem and I didn’t feel comfortable around a lot of people.” When Hannah reached year 12, she had had enough and wanted to commit suicide, but fortunately a friend and police helped her find help. “I was bullied so much and had enough so sat down in my bedroom and wrote a ‘bullying speech’ about how I felt. I read it out in front of 600 people at my school,” she said. “I was so scared doing it. Everyone was so touched by my story. I had teachers crying and students coming up to me and saying sorry. They said what a good job I did. I don’t know what I would do without my family supporting me.” For more details on anti-bullying efforts, visit bullyingnoway.gov.au or www.education.vic. gov.au/bullystoppers Hannah urged anyone being bullied to tell family and teachers. “Don't suffer in silence. There are many support groups and people who care and can help.”

State cash for emergency plans THE state government will give Mornington Peninsula Shire $240,000 over the next two financial years for emergency management. The cash was announced by Mornington MP David Morris who said the government’s Municipal Emergency Resourcing Program would assist councils “prepare local communities and businesses for emergencies”. “Victoria has experienced a series of events in recent years, including recent bushfires, which have demonstrated the importance of agencies working together,” he said. Mr Morris said the shire played “a crucial role in emergency management, primarily around planning for an emergency response, preparing

communities and providing support to services such as the CFA, Department of Environment and Primary Industries, SES and Victoria Police”. Government grants paid for shire emergency management officers to be trained, plans to be prepared, fire prevention work, participation in multi-agency relief exercises, and running of the Vulnerable Persons Register, he said. “Sixty-four councils in CFA districts will share $9.12 million funding as they continue to address recommendations of the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission and assist in their role of planning for and protecting communities during emergencies.”

Tale of woe, no biscuits and cold water COUNCIL unWATCHed

By David Harrison Special Purposes Committee meeting, 5pm, 17 March 2014. Venue: Mornington shire offices. Biscuits, no milk, no hot water. THE agenda contained several potentially interesting items – “Chairperson advice to public” and a tender relating to Mt Martha Life Saving Club. Plus a rumour had circulated the long absence from the council of Cr Frank Martin of Red Hill Ward was to be discussed. And there was Item 3 – “Confidential items: confidential report”. Was this the Frank Martin matter? It was known Cr Martin had undergone an operation and, according to Cr David Gibb, a benign lump had been removed and Cr Martin would make a full recovery. So Council Watch and friend – the entire complement of the public gallery – took our seats at the appointed hour, only to find a distinct dearth of councillors and the tea urn cold. The sole elected representative at the council

table was Tim Rodgers. The meeting, he informed us, had been adjourned (before starting time?) and councillors were meeting in a separate room. Fifty-five minutes later they appeared. First item: a motion from Cr Anne Shaw to close the meeting. Carried. We left, but could have listened at a crack in the door during a longish wait. No info was given, as a courtesy to the departing gallery, that the meeting would be closed for more than an item or two. It was the shire’s much-vaunted openness and transparency at its opaque zenith. It turned out the entire meeting was to have been confidential, despite the agenda not being so marked. After the meeting, sustainable development director Stephen Chapple waved his copy of the agenda at CW when questioned, to show it was marked

“Confidential”. CW waved his copy, clearly not similarly marked, right back. Nor were the agendas left outside the chamber for the public marked confidential. So why would a “confidential” meeting contain an item “Advice to the public”, plus another marked “confidential”? Was this item doubly confidential? Why would they discuss behind closed doors the health of Cr Martin and his request for a further 10 weeks of sick leave? Isn’t this a matter of public interest? The good folk of Red Hill Ward are entitled to know the condition of their councillor and when he is likely to return to duty. They have been effectively disenfranchised, without a word of explanation from the shire or Cr Martin. He has not been to a meeting since at least last December and is understood to be receiving further treatment for his malady. As Red Hill is a single-councillor ward, its residents and ratepayers will remain without their councillor until at least early June. Cr Gibb, one of three Seawinds

Ward councillors, had recently offered to take over Cr Martin’s ward duties but this was politely declined on the basis that Cr Gibb has a heavy work load as it is. Cr David Garnock is believed to have offered to represent the coastal villages of Red Hill Ward. As to the doubly confidential “confidential” matter, CW learned from the creatures who live behind the council wainscotting that it was which items related to the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (part of Cr Gibb’s heavy workload) could be released to the public and which could not. It seems the items to be released (or not, as the case may be) contain some very interesting stuff indeed. CW yearns for a copy of the doubly confidential “Confidential” material. Epilogue: CW has just noticed that, after Item 4.1, “Council communicator”, came Item 4.3, “Assembly of councillors – confidential items”. A trebly confidential “Confidential” meeting? Quick, someone call ASIO.

Time to change Constitution says judge AUSTRALIA cannot advance until it acknowledges the role of its original inhabitants in the Constitution, says Justice Kevin Bell of the Victorian Supreme Court. A peninsula resident, Justice Bell will explore reconciliation, human rights and constitutional

recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with a panel of experts at the inaugural Baany to Warrna Ngargee – Water to Water Festival at The Briars Park in Mt Martha from 1.30-9.30pm on Saturday 29 March. Archie Roach will perform at the Mornington Peninsula’s

first Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander music and cultural festival. It will include traditional and contemporary musicians and dancers, bush tucker, boomerang painting, arts and crafts, and indigenous storytelling. Singer and songwriter Roach is the headline act along with

performances by Nola Lauch, Mau Power from Torres Strait, Yirrmal and the Yolngu Boys. Children’s activities include didgeridoo classes, face painting and making books. Bookings at www.watertower. org.au

“Unlike other pageants, you don’t need to be a supermodel to enter Miss Galaxy,” she said. “There are no height or weight restrictions so it’s really about beauty within. “The competition encourages participants to be involved with their community and it places a strong emphasis on charity work. “So it’s all about getting out into the community and supporting local causes and events as well as helping with fundraising activities.” Ms Martini said she was usually involved with Pink Ribbon Day, but the competition’s chosen Australian charities were the Make a Wish Foundation and Australia Zoo’s Wildlife Warriors program. Victorian participants have so far raised $43,000. She is hosting a a charity movie screening of Russell Crowe’s latest film Noah at Mornington Cinema on Thursday 3 April to raise funds for the charities before she heads off for the fourday national finals pageant on 9 April. The secret to success in a competition like Miss Galaxy was “being true to yourself”, she

said, adding that pageants gave women a voice to raise issues close to their hearts. “You can’t be fake or try to be someone you’re not,” she said. “Sincerity always shines through and anyone not being true to themselves is quickly found out.” For more information on the movie night and Ms Martini’s quest, visit www.facebook.com/ jessicamartini2014.

Chairlift protesters blow up balloons THE first formal protest meeting against the proposed $14 million Arthurs Seat chairlift gondola since a planning application was submitted to Mornington Peninsula Shire will be held on Sunday. “Save Arthurs Seat Community Protest” has been organised by Friends of Arthurs Seat and will be held from 3-5pm at the summit. The group held two informal meetings last year before the project went public. Friends co-convenor Matt Bisogni said the group had invited Simon McKeon and Hans Brugman of chairlift proponent Arthurs Seat Skylift; MPs Martin Dixon (state) and Greg Hunt (federal); the mayor Cr Antonella Celi and

Cr Graham Pittock, both of Seawinds Ward; and Richard Hudson, who operated the old chairlift. Mr Bisogni said the group would use helium balloons to “mark out the shape, size and boundaries of the proposed upper station including the height”. “This will show the extent of the building and of the proposed loss of public land,” he said. “We’re asking people to come and make their feelings known, be they for or against.” The meeting will feature entertainment by Charlie Owen and crew, Marty Nelson Williams, and other musicians.

COMMUNITY FOCUS

Wood you believe guild turned 30 THE Peninsula Woodturners Guild celebrated its 30th anniversary earlier this month. The guild has grown from humble beginnings to now boast more than 200 members. The guild hosted an open weekend on 1-2 March at its Langwarrin base at the McClelland Sculpture Park. Frankston mayor Darrel Taylor was a guest and presented founding member Bob Morrison with a badge specially made to commemorate his 30 years of guild membership. The late Murray White was recognised as the founder of the Peninsula Woodturners Guild since it was his enthusiasm and organisational skills that led to the formation of the guild. Guild president Geoffrey Dickin said the founding members had done a great job to get the guild up and running. “As we all know everything has to be built on a strong sustainable foundation and it appears that way back 30 years ago, the foundation was put down by very wise people, the method that we achieve things and the way the Guild is conducted today has changed very little,” Mr Dickin said.

About 20 members attended the guild’s first meeting in March 1984. Annual subscriptions were $15 at the time. The Peninsula Woodturners Guild has moved location several times over the decades, including stints at Frankston TAFE College and the Ballam Park Homestead before settling in at the McClelland Gallery in 1991. Murray White, Frank Rutter and Bill Barber were made life members that same year for their tireless contributions to the guild and their efforts to grow its membership. Dame Elisabeth Murdoch was one of the guild’s staunchest supporters over the years and helped facilitate some of its location moves. Today, the Peninsula Woodturners Guild has moved with the times and uses computer technology to get the best results from woodturning in a computer group class. The Peninsula Woodturners Guild is open five days a week and a half-day on Saturdays, providing facilities and classes to 13 groups. Team leaders are always on hand to help with any problems.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Boat blown to sea causes excitement; fires cause loss of poultry Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 March 1914 SOME excitement was caused in Frankston on Monday afternoon, when it was rumoured that a boating party was in distress on the Bay, near the Hermitage. There was a very strong wind blowing, though fortunately off the land, which did not permit of any sea being raised close in shore. Mr E. McComb, who was on the pier at the time, got his boat ready, and, accompanied by Messrs E. Burton and R. Ritchie, sailed to the rescue. The party in distress consisted of Mr and Mrs Fry and four children and Miss Graham, all of Yarraville. They kept their boat close in shore while they were fishing, but an extra strong gust caught them, and they were quickly blown a good distance out. Finding his efforts against the wind of no avail, Mr Fry dropped anchor, and kept his boat’s head to the sea. They were thus fairly safe, though uncomfortable, and the approach of the rescue party was welcomed. They were quickly got aboard the larger boat and conveyed to the Frankston pier, from which place they took a cab to their home, rather cold and wet, but none the worse for their adventure. It is said that this is Mr McComb’s 24th rescue on the Bay, and we congratulate him on his splendid record. *** BUSH fires were again in evidence around Frankston during the early part of the week. Mr C. W. Clarke’s residence had a narrow escape from destruction, and he had the misfor-

tune to have about twenty of his prize poultry burned. Only very strenuous efforts by the fire fighters kept the fire within bounds. A fire was also raging in the vicinity of the sandpits, but no serious damage has been reported. *** MRS C. Dalman returned to Frankston on Monday, after an enjoyable holiday, spent in Daylesford. *** THE host of friends of Mr H. Cameron, of Frankston, will greatly regret to learn that he is confined to his room, as the result of a fall sustained on Friday last. We sincerely hope that Mr Cameron will soon be about again. *** AT a meeting of the Frankston choral society held on Monday evening, Mr A. E. Gault, of Somerville, was appointed conductor. Miss O. Sherlock was also appointed hon. accompanist temporarily. *** AT the Somerville show, the maize exhibit was greatly admired and was a splendid illustration of what can be grown in a dry season without irrigation. The first prize lot was 13ft 6in. high, with well filled cobs from 12 to 15 inches in length, and was grown by Mr James Dee, on his farm at Somerville. Mr Dee has three acres of this quality, which is being grown for seed. *** ON Saturday next, April 4, Messrs T. R. B. Morton and Son (per Mr J. L. Parkes, one of their auctioneers) will sell by auction, on behalf of Mr S. W. Ramsay, all his surplus furniture,

farming sundries, household effects, and stock, as described in the hand bills, without reserve. The sale will commence at 1.30 p.m. on the premises, Cranbourne road, one and a quarter miles from Frankston station. Refreshments will be provided.

The police at Frankston have lately been notified of several robberies from residences on “The Island” within the past fortnight, but so far no arrests have been made. *** THE Boy Scouts have again sought permission of Major C. W. Campbell, to hold their Easter camp on the grounds of Amesfield Park, and the request has been acceded to. Members of the St. Kilda Yacht Club have also requested permission for the use of the Amesfield Park beach house for the Easter holidays, and if permis-

sion is granted, a number of yachts will be in proximity of Frankston and Mornington during the forthcoming holidays. *** ONE day last week while driving in the township of Somerville, Mrs Griffeth and Miss Ruby Griffeth were thrown out of their jinker through their pony stumbling and falling down. Both were somewhat shaken, but fortunately neither were seriously hurt. *** IT will be a matter of great satisfaction to learn that the construction of the Frankston-Carrum road is to be commenced almost immediately. A light tramway, the rails for which have now arrived, is to be constructed along the section, for the convenience of the contractors for the cartage of their metal, etc. This road has been the bug bear of travellers in this district for many years, and when it is completed, all towns in the Peninsula should benefit greatly by the influx of tourists the improvement in the road is sure to bring. *** A PLEASANT evening was spent by members of the Frankston brass band on Saturday last, when they journeyed to Amesfield Park, the residence of Major C. W. Campbell. The trip was made to bid the Major farewell and a safe journey before he left on his 4000 miles motor trip; also as a mark of appreciation for his donation of £5 towards the band funds. A programme of enlivening selections was gone through by the band, and Major Campbell afterwards treated the members to a sumptu-

ous supper. A thoroughly enjoyable time was spent, and the members of the band returned well satisfied with their outing. *** AT the Mornington Police Court, before Dr Somers and Messrs J. G. Barrett, G. Flood, J. Grice, and A. E. Bates, J.’sP., Cecilia Mary Waters sued Wm. Waters for maintenance for herself and three children. Mr T. Fogarty appeared for complainant and Mr G. Detbridge for defendant. After hearing evidence on both sides the Bench retired to consider their decision. On their return they advised that the parties confer, and suggested that defendant agree to allow complainant the sum of 10s per week for each child until they reach the age of 14 years. This the parties agreed to, and both complaints were struck out. *** A CONCERT and dramatic entertainment, under the direction of Mr Hugh McCartney will take place in the Mechanics’ Institute, Mornington, on Easter Monday night, the proceeds of which will be devoted to liquidate the debt on the Catholic Church. Among the favourite artistes to appear will be Miss Maggie Meagher, Miss Kitty Meagher, Mr Hugh McCartney, Mr T. H. McGilton, Mr T. Cope, Mr J. Meagher, and Master Jack McCartney. The effervescent comic drama, “Milky White,” which has caused such a sensation in the metropolis, will be produced by the well-known Emerald Dramatic Company, of Melbourne. After the entertainment the annual ball will be held. For further particulars see programmes and advertisements later.

Damnation, hellfire and the internet By Stuart McCullough WOE is me. For, without really trying, I have angered the overlords of the internet and they have determined that I must be punished. In fact, they I have decided to smote me. Truth is, I have not been smote by anyone for ages and I am out of practice. Clearly, they have decided to make an example of me. There’s little I can do other than rub ashes into my skin, start dressing in sackcloth and beg for forgiveness. Even then, I suspect it may be too late. It’s always been an uneasy relationship. Truth be told, I’ve never really trusted the internet. Right from the beginning when people started to rave about an “information superhighway”, I made a secret pledge to use public transport instead. But some things are impossible to avoid. I may have succeeded in using a typewriter all the way through university, but at the point I was required to send emails, it was clear that my Remington was no longer up to the task. But although I mistrust the internet, like everyone else I am beholden to it. I spend untold hours waiting for it to start up, shut down and load so that I can get on with my day. When the internet is running slowly, I become intensely frustrated. But there’s no one to complain to. For it is as impossible to inflict a wound on the internet as it is to reason with it. So, it seems, the transformation is now complete. Having initially resisted, I am utterly at its mercy. When I arrived home on Friday

night, the computer blithely informed me that I was no longer connected to the internet. It did so in sympathetic font and neutral language but the truth was far more savage – I had been banished. There were, of course, buttons to push. These make you feel as if you can fix the problem when, in truth, you have a better chance of building your own orbiting space sta-

enough, is inherently frustrating. There are references to WEPs, Routers and LANs and other creatures that may or may not live in Middle Earth. It’s almost as though through the use of a bizarre and infuriating dialect, the internet is punishing those of us who ever had the nerve to resist the shift to computers and teased those who embraced them. It is, put simply, the revenge of the nerds. But how to fix it? Luckily, I’d kept the card with my account information. Then I noted that for technical support, they offered an internet address. Given the nature of my technical needs at that moment, this was about as useful as a three-wheeled sedan. It was obvious – they were toying with me. It was then that I decided to go “old school”. Using a telephone directory, I was placed in a queue. As is the way with these things, they sought to weed out the weak by subjecting them to a horrible musical loop of Spanish flamenco guitar. I’m not sure what the piece in question is called, but if I were to hazard a guess, I’d say The Spanish Inquisition. It is music so plainly annoying that a life without the internet suddenly doesn’t seem so bad. Tantalisingly, I am told that I am only six minutes away from having my call answered. This proves misleading. When my call is answered at an undisclosed location on the Sub-continent, it’s clear that they’re expecting an idiot. “Sir, have you entered the right password?” Frankly, the “sir” is superfluous. He then asks whether

tion than you do fixing your computer. Still, much like Delta Goodrem, I too was born to try and duly clicked the button marked “Network diagnostics”. Computers are a funny business. Although much of the material is ostensibly in English, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it was in another language altogether. This, naturally

Getting kids back to nature A FESTIVAL for children aims to tackle “nature deficit disorder”, which some experts argue links children’s declining engagement with the outdoors to myriad issues from depression to obesity. The inaugural Kids’ Adventure Festival will provide children and parents with the opportunity to experience adventure activities specifically designed for the younger generation, with walks, runs, climbs, rides and plenty more “wild” play planned for the weekend event.

Taking place at Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort on 5-6 April, the festival will feature all manner of activities aimed at re-engaging children with nature while introducing them to the huge variety of adventure pursuits that make the most of nature’s playground. Updates and news will be available on www. kidsadventurefest.com.au and on the “Mt Baw Baw Kids Adventure Festival” Facebook page.

my computer is plugged in. Having answered yes to both these questions, the call centre guy is out of ideas and tells me he’ll have to get someone more senior. I am then placed back on hold where the flamenco guitar from hell is waiting. After a further 18 minutes, I am put through to someone else who asks me whether the modem is plugged in. It’s really another variant of “what kind of idiot are you?” He then tells me he’s looking at my account details and that it’s been some time since my connection has been “refreshed”. All those years of getting myself a drink from the kitchen and I never once got one for the modem. With great solemnity, he informed me that I should be turning off the modem, if not every night, then at least twice a week. I have never heard anything so stupid in all my life. I’m not sure what’s worse – that I have waited 30 minutes to be told to turn the modem off and on or that some guy on the other side of the world can monitor my computer use. Best not to think about it. Now our connection is restored but it has left me embittered. That the internet should so freely play with my emotions has left me angry and hostile. The web is, I have decided, the work of the Devil. I then test this theory by logging on to “www.satan.org” to find that someone has registered the domain name and that it is for sale. Typical. Even the dark lord of the underworld can’t compete against the turkeys responsible for the internet.

Performance FAT Tony & Co (Uncut) is the story of Tony Mokbel; how he grew entangled with the country’s most notorious underworld figures, how he built his massive fortune, and how he became a fugitive on a yacht bound for Greece, desperate to escape mounting criminal law battles. Already a key player on the Australian drug scene in his own right, Fat Tony became more deeply embroiled in the underworld as he joined forces with up-and-coming drug dealer Carl Williams. He struck an uneasy truce with the Carlton Crew, the territorial and dangerous royalty of the Melbourne underworld, even doing business from time to time with the Moran family. With his three brothers and Carl Williams, Tony expands his drug empire into a multi-million dollar industry. Featuring over 25 minutes of exclusive bonus content, including deleted scenes and the full unedited episodes which were too hot for television, Fat Tony & Co is available to own on April 16 - uncensored & uncut in Ultraviolet Blue-ray and Ultraviolet DVD. www.roadshow.com.au *** Stronger is Aleyce Simmonds’ brand new radio single, lifted from her Golden Guitar nominated album, Believe! Upbeat, powerful and lyrically defiant, Stronger has emerged as an audience favourite since the album’s release. It features a stunning vocal performance as well as Simmonds’ all-star band in full flight, highlighting the singer-songwriter’s unique ability to deliver rock-infused country. www.aleyce.com *** Let’s Get It On opens on 13 May at The Athenaeum Theatre in Melbourne and celebrates the life and music of the multi-talented musician, singer

and songwriter Marvin Gaye, whose records sold in the millions and who continues to influence a legion of artists the world over. 1 April this year marks the 30th anniversary of the tragic death of Marvin Gaye and this two-hour narrative concert explores Marvin’s humble beginnings, his troubled relationship with his father, the women in his life, his search for meaning and the music that defined a generation. Starring Helpmann Award winning actor and singer Burt LaBonte and introducing singer, songwriter, pianist, Jude Perl, Let’s Get It On will be backed by some of Australia’s finest and funkiest musicians and is presented by The Producers of The Man in Black – The Johnny Cash Story and At Last – The Etta James Story. Let’s Get It On features some of Marvin’s most beloved songs including I Heard It Through The Grapevine, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, his stunning spiritual masterwork What’s Going On, the Grammy Award win-

ning Sexual Healing and many more of his classic hits. Marvin Gaye is acknowledged as ‘The Prince of Motown - The Prince of Soul’ with the magnitude of his influence on R&B and soul music recognised when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

Daniel Andrews is a tryer but lacks the ability to inspire whereas Denis Napthine is embarrassing as premier, albeit well intentioned. Treasurer Michael O’Brien’s push for higher taxes on poker machines giving nonsense reasons (funding schools, hospitals, public transport and roads) is insulting. Then there’s the OLV (Office of Living Victoria?), the water gold mine, and electricity, producing many crooks; political, union and business. It’s a mystery. We await their false promises. *** I WAS looking at my tummy getting bigger – unstoppable - when I remembered. Eons ago my mates and I went to the St Kilda sea baths, for men only, mostly nude men, all shapes and sizes. Our particular fascination was with the older men with elephantine tummies. We wondered how long ago they had set eyes on their miniature tiddles, even allowing for mirrors and how they felt about it? I’m not quite to that stage yet but after all those years the answer has dawned. Size is unimportant. *** ROSS Gittins, senior columnist for The Age newspaper writes on compulsory superannuation exposing us to the predatory financial services industry and likewise union involvement. About a year too late Ross, but nice to know you read my column… ***

ON the flight home from lovable Sydney recently I had a delightful young lady sitting next to me. Svetlana, a program manager at the Georges River Combined Council Committee. On such a short flight, tradition has it that you say nothing and assume the attitude of the other passengers: look important, almost disdainful, and certainly never start a conversation with anyone, let alone a charming young female. Lucky me, for Svetlana spoke first, making the 75-minute journey go in a flash. Unsure as to her passion for the Georges River, but no matter. So rare, so nice. *** TONY has promised to leave penalty rates alone during his first term of government. Remember this before the next federal election. In the meantime, I suggest he cut out rorts for high income earners, including access to family tax benefits, tax breaks on superannuation, negative gearing and the use of trusts to avoid tax. Maybe increase the mining tax? I’m dreaming. *** NOTED a US study on the personality (disorders?) of coffee drinkers. Cappuccino drinkers: obsessive and controlling. Latte types: go out of their way to please others, somewhat neurotic. Instant: too laid back, procrastinators. Black: no-nonsense, straightforward, intelligent, moody. We never seem to tire of rubbish. I drink black coffee,

RECORD Store Day Australia, celebrating the local music outlet, returns for the sixth year on Saturday 19 April (Easter Saturday) across Australia. This is an important day for the music industry as it reiterates the importance of the traditional music outlet as one of the major avenues for the public to discover the many genres of music releases each year. The public still love to browse and buy a physical product as seen by the rise in vinyl purchases over the past 12 months. Record Store Day last year saw one of the largest national sales figures for the physical product since the special day began in Australia six years ago with store reporting that it was better than Christmas and their biggest Saturday since the store began 25 years before. In store appearances, signings, special promotions, special releases were overwhelming endorsed by the music loving fans. Record Store Day Australia is run by The Australian Music Retailers Association (AMRA) and has the unqualified support of record companies and Australian music icons who know the importance of supporting all specialist music stores. www.recordstoreday.com.au

Stars Wars (1977) cost $8 million and was made in the UK with little-known Americans in the leading roles, supported by British actors. Cast included Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Alec Guiness and David Prowse. Two sequels (The Empire Strikes Back 1980, Return of the Jedi 1983) and three prequels (The Phantom Menace 1999, Attack of the Clones 2002, Revenge of the Sith 2005) have generated billions of dollars’ worth of merchandising sales. ***

*** DISNEY and Lucas Film announced today that principal photography is set to begin Star Wars: Episode VII in May, just in time to get the hugely anticipated next instalment in the storied franchise ready for its 18 December 2015 release date. The filmmakers also revealed that the new movie, the first of three planned sequels, will pick up 30 years after Return of the Jedi (aka Episode VI) left off. And now that Episode VII production has a start date all it needs are some stars. So far it has one person in talks, Adam Driver, and reported com-

A Grain of Salt MALCOLM Fraser famously said: “Life wasn’t meant to be easy”. As the results came through on the elections in South Australia and Tasmania on the back of a Collingwood (Nathan) disaster and another cigarette price increase and the water (con) bill, I’m in mourning. The Herald Sun is a cat with two bowls of cream. Worse still, I reached the age of 78 last Saturday. Woe is me. *** MATTHEW McConaughey thanked God at the Academy Awards. Ditto others saving whales, gay marriages, mums and dads. If God motivates Matty so be it, but could not help wondering why God helped someone so obviously not in need, as against millions dying of starvation or stuck in refugee camps overseas. Did Queen Cate’s speech meet with our approval? No mention of God. In Sin City (Sydney) they call her “Our Cate”? One also wonders if our chief adviser on matters of living within our means (Gina Rinehart) is also thanking God. No sarcasm intended, merely pondering. *** WITH the current concentration on Tony and Joe, let us not forget Victoria. With an election looming it’s surely time to have a closer look at the phantoms managing our state in our name.

whereas I suspect Andrew Bolt would be a 6-a-day cappuccino man. *** YOU’VE lost your glasses, looked everywhere, cannot find; items so important you have two of them. Do not waste your time searching, get the second pair. You either find them without thinking or suddenly you will remember where you put them, or they will appear on your bed or your kitchen bench, unobtrusive, hiding. I lost my favourite cap; checked all my visits; nothing forthcoming. Weeks later I put my second favourite cap on top of the printer; accidentally knocked and it fell down the side. I retrieved it, thought about it, wondered? Bingo! Save your memory buds and worry for the big things, big visuals, like walking into the kitchen and wondering why; spotting the coffee jar and more. Bingo! Make your coffee. Also, have a read of the obituaries in The Age newspaper, particularly those born before 1930. Feel better now? *** THE whole world plays the fool; we have a new theatre, a new scene, a new Comedy of Errors, a new company of actors. We change language, habits, laws, customs, manners, but not vices, not the symptoms of folly and madness, they remain the same and the play never finishes. *** I’M rarely hungry. I occasionally enjoy lunch (when I remember to make

By Cliff Ellen

lunch), but this puts the kybosh on tea, sometimes referred to as dinner. I do all the recommended: vegetables, green tea, fruits, meat and fish but I’m warning those “advisers” now, if I find out it was all nonsense when I arrive up there I’m coming back to haunt you. Why up, rather than down? We’ve all done dreadful things. Put a ban on my type and heaven would be deserted. Just God, Andrew Bolt, Julie Bishop, Tony and Matthew McConaughey. *** I HEAR it on the wireless: “Riverview - a gated community nestled on the Maribyrnong River”. An exciting prospect. Ratio: females to men? Can’t wait...If you honestly believe you need a financial adviser then I suggest you don’t need one...Is your child well rounded, resilient and self-aware? Lucky you, took me till I was 50...The AFL and price ticketing structure “will always put the fans first” translated “the more they get the more they want”...Oh damn, I missed Moomba. Again...hooroo...www.ello8.com cliffie9@bigpond.com

MORNINGTON NEWS

scoreboard Doggies hang on in thriller PROVINCIAL By IT Gully MORNINGTON held on to win a thrilling MPCA Provincial grand final on Saturday against Sorrento. After an enthralling first two days last weekend, it was only fitting this premiership contest went down to the very last over. There is always a hero in a premiership win and for Mornington it was opener Anthony Gapes, who faced 133 overs (70 in the first innings and 63 in the second) without giving away his wicket. The way the match was played, it was never about the runs Gapes made

in the match, it was always about the steely determination and mental toughness he had to display to get his side across the line. With wickets falling around him in the first innings, all he had to do was stay out there and ensure that his side scored just one more run than the opposition. The Dogs made 133, chasing 131. Luke Harper was also significant in the first innings with 21 runs batting at number 10. At the end of play last Sunday, Doggies opening quick Michael Heib had snared seven wickets and the Sharks were in massive trouble at stumps at 9/100-odd. However, Ryan O’Connor and A J

King put on more than 50 for the last wicket on Saturday, giving Sorrento a chance to win the match. Mornington was set 158 runs to win or needed to survive the last 63 overs of the match. The game was always going down to the wire. Mornington looked gone early as the Sorrento opening bowlers got their side away to a flyer. The Dogs lost Rob Hearn, Ben Clements and Matt Foon early and were 3/30 at one stage. The momentum was certainly with the Sharks. However, Gapes was still at the crease and was solid against every

bowler. He had plenty of handy bats to come in and support him all the way down the order and they all played their roles. With six overs remaining in the day, Sorrento needed three wickets. Mornington was too far away from the 156-run total, so it was survival to the end. They held on, crowned the best team in the MPCA. For Sorrento, it was another grim day ;yet another grand final loss. It was compounded by the fact that many believe the era at Sorrento has gone. Ryan and Liam O’Connor are rumoured to be going to Ballam Park

next season, while A J and Chris King are linked to another Provincial Division club used to winning flags. Anthony Blackwell, many believe, has played his last game of top level cricket and they say there’s no certainty surrounding the future of Leigh Poholke or Nick Jewell at Sorrento. For Mornington, things look bright. Despite Clements’ unbelievable season, there doesn’t seem to be any plans for him to go back to Frankston Peninsula. The Dogs have a wonderful blend of youth and experience and one senses they will enjoy a little dynasty if they stick together.

Prosser guides Pines to premiership DISTRICT By IT Gully PINES assistant coach Jake Prosser guided his side to victory against Delacombe Park in the District grand final on Saturday at Alexandra Park. Prosser’s match-winning 71 runs was made with grit, maturity, determination, patience and class, and rightfully he was the player who hit the winning runs. His efforts didn’t go unnoticed by his coach Ricky Ramsdale, who paid tribute to his right-hand man. “He had some demons about Delacombe [two ducks] coming into bat today but he was sensational and showed great maturity,” Ramsdale said. Ramsdale was also pleased his strike bowler Brett Remy will play on next season. “Hopefully ‘Rem’ you will give us one more year.” Remy is a competitive beast and is sure to help his side in the top grade, albeit for one season perhaps. Pines won the premiership two seasons ago in Sub-district and now will play in Provincial next season after Saturday’s feat. It was a superb effort by the Piners, who had seven players under the age of 22 in their line-up. Set 156 for victory off the final 63 overs of the match, Prosser strode to the crease with his side in big trouble, two wickets down. Delacombe Park was on top early with Brett Chard removing both openers before Prosser and Jeremy Weare came together at the crease. The two steadied the ship before Weare was given out caught behind in the last over before tea. The momentum of the match shifted often throughout Pines’ innings, however, one sensed that they had the depth of batting to be able to see out the 63 overs. While players fell around him, Prosser continued to look as solid as a rock, dead-batting the good balls and looking to score off anything loose down leg side or short. Prosser’s innings was chanceless until the end, when he hooked a bouncer to a fielder on the fence, only to have it sail over his head for four. At the 25 to 40 over mark, it appeared Pines was just going to bat

PAGE 52

out the overs. However, when Parkers’ spinners Varun Singh and Nick Christides came on, they went for 23 runs in three overs and the 156-run target looked achievable. Prosser could see the finish line and with the more than handy Nick Wilcox and Pat Jackson batting with him, decided to go for the outright

Mornington News 25 March 2014

win. Delacombe seemed to lack any spark in the field other than Chard (4/17) playing up to the crowd and getting under the skin of the batsmen. Simon Dignan bowled well and was rewarded with a couple of wickets. The lack of use of Shane Deal, who bowled Prosser out three times in previous meetings this year, was odd

and he was only used for six overs. He finished with 0/8. His underuse was mind-blowing. Earlier in the match, Pines opening bowler Brett Remy finished with eight wickets for the match, snaring five in the first innings to really set up the win. He took three in the second innings. Coach Ricky Ramsdale also picked

up eight wickets in the match, three in the first innings and five in the second. With an ageing list, the Parkers may not get another opportunity as good as this one to grab a premiership. Pines, however, has plenty to look forward to in the top grade next season.

Hillmen finally Jewell heads to Rosebud? snag a flag SPORTS TALK

SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully YEARS of heartache were all forgotten for Red Hill on Saturday when they were presented with the MPCA Sub-district premiership. After losing the past two grand finals, Red Hill appeared to be in its best-ever position to win the premiership, heading into day three. Rheede Hopgood had made 64, Ken Sullivan 51 and Simon Dart had hit his third century in as many matches to help Red Hill to a total of 277 last weekend. More importantly, the Hillmen batted their entire 110 overs. Having to face the last 41 overs on the second day, the Buds looked gone at stumps. Greg McCann (15), Mathew Maher (7), Danny Heylbut (0) and Darren Kerr (0) were all back in the sheds. The

only light at the end of the tunnel was the fact there was some experience to come and Brad Glenn (32) was unbeaten overnight. The Hillmen were obviously a bowler down with Glenn Collett not playing, although Lincoln Toy, Ross Corfield and Jamie McCall headlined a more than reasonable attack. At the end of the first weekend, Toy and Corfield had a couple of wickets each and the Buds were reeling at 5/101. However, rather than roll over and go down without a whimper, Rosebud had a crack on the third day. Although the Buds never looked like tracking down the 278 for victory, they were able to bat for 100 overs and make the Hillmen earn their victory. The Buds were eventually bowled out for 221, a sensational performance given their poor start.

THERE were plenty of rumours doing the rounds across the three MPCA grand finals on Saturday. Sorrento was the club that appeared to be the biggest talking point. The rumours went like this. Ryan and Liam O’Connor to join Ballam Park in Sub-district ranks next season. Anthony Blackwell retired. Leigh Poholke weighing up his options and unlikely to stay. A J King and brother Chris King considering a deal with another Provincial club that is no stranger to success. The big talk, though, surrounded Nick Jewell, who was said to be considering a deal with Rosebud. Hard to see the former star Victorian playing Sub-district cricket. There is a nice fairytale of him playing cricket and coaching football at the same club. There is also talk that Long

Island’s Andrew Tweddle and Justin Brideman are heading back to Ballam Park also. As former juniors with Karingal, they would net zero points. There was another one that had Red Hill opening bowler Lincoln Toy heading to Tootgarook next season. Apparently he told the club immediately after the premiership win. Boneo’s Leigh Lowry has apparently accepted a role at Somerville. Langwarrin is close to snaring a left-arm quick from the Cardinia competition while Dwayne Doig knocked back big offers to stay a Kanga for the next two seasons. *** IN footy news, we’re just two weeks away from round one and practice matches are in full swing. With cricket season now officially finished, sides will be just about loading up their lists in the final practice matches this weekend. Pines’ Brendan Neville, who has

been a significant player for the red and green, has applied to play in the Ellinbank league. Karingal has lost another couple in Jim Martinson to the Southern Football League and Rhys BartlettQuinn to Somerville while Dylan Emmons has left Mt Eliza to play in the VAFA. In good news for Tyabb, there has been a number of clearances come in for the Yabbies. No notable names but good players all the same. Red Hill has lost Joe Krieger to the Southern Football League, a big blow for the Hillmen, who lack height this season. Rosebud has finally put a clearance in for Sorrento’s Daniel Hickey. Hickey crossed to the Buds prior to Christmas. The other interesting one is Jae Williams returning to Dromana from Rosebud. Williams caused some issues when he left Dromana last season. However, he has decided to head back to his family’s club.
