Kite art and aerodynamics AWARD WINNING

ROSEBUD

KITE FESTIVAL ROSEBUD FORESHORE JETTY ROAD SAT 8TH & SUN 9TH MARCH 2014 SATURDAY: 10am -1pm

Meet the kite flyers Get ‘up close’ with the experts ( No other activities on Saturday )

SUNDAY: 11am - 5pm

Over the years, the Rosebud Kite Festival, has been host to a number of internationally acclaimed kite designers who have literally ‘coloured the sky’ with their custom made kite displays.

The kites come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from elegant acrobatic kites to the show-stopping inflatable Maxi Kites.

These impressively large Maxi Kites are floating 3D creations that can be seen from miles away and measure up to twenty meters or more in diameter.

Requiring skillful handling and a clever aerodynamic design, it is no simple feat to keep these giants of the kite world flying high.

While still on the ground, the kites are filled with air from surrounding sea breezes. The kites also contain a oneway value that is designed to catch the air and increase pressure within the kite’s interior.

To get lift-off, a smaller ‘pilot’ kite is sent off on a single line of rope, then followed by 3-4 others until enough lift force are generated to pull the Maxi kite into the air. The huge forces require the Maxi kites to be tied to a weighted anchor (often a car) as the lift forces can be too strong for mere mortals to control!

Veteran Kite designer and special guest of the Rosebud Kite Festival in 2014 is Craig Hansen from New Zealand. He is the owner of the world famous Peter Lynn Kites; a NZ based kite manufacturing and distribution company responsible for inventing the world’s largest kites and a pioneer of kite design.

When asked about the artistic inspiration, Craig tells us “Creative themes usually follow things that float”.

In the past, the festivals kite designers have exhibited Maxi Kite inflatables that include schools of fish, whales, stingrays and octopi. The overall effect can be beautiful: an ephemeral scene of creatures floating deep in the sky and dancing in the air above Port Phillip Bay. So if you’re visiting Rosebud foreshore this long weekend, come and meet the professional Kite Makers on Saturday March 8th from 10am - 1pm. They’ll be flying the 2014 displays as a preview to the festival’s main event. On Sunday 9th March from 11am-5pm, as well as the Maxi Kite display, you can also enjoy a full program of live entrainment, carnival rides, food stalls and family kite flying area.

Free libraries spread the word

By Keith Platt DEFYING the trend away from printed books to digital, four new lending libraries had sprung up in Mt Martha.

Fixed to front fences, the book shelves are an invitation to everyone to borrow a book.

The idea originated in the United States and was brought to Mt Martha

by Karen Setches and her family to coincide with last year’s National Literacy Week.

The family converted an old cabinet found at the Mornington tip shop into weather-proof bookshelves.

Eight-year-old Maddie made signs and Oscar, 6, “yarn-bombed” a branch and helped his mother with the painting.

“It was a true family project,” Ms Setches said.

“It would be great to issue a challenge to see how many more libraries could be up and running on the Mornington Peninsula by literacy week this year.”

Ms Setches sent texts to neighbours and friends requesting books for children and adults.

“We now have a stockpile and change them around on the shelves.

Guarding against thieves is not an issue and even if a book doesn’t make its way back, at least someone out there is reading it.”

A free library in New York’s Bronx district was surviving, while some US libraries had reported thefts by secondhand book dealers.

“They’re now attaching stickers

identifying the book as coming from a free library, although I don’t think it will get to that stage here,” Ms Setches said.

As well as Ms Setches’ family’s “library” outside 2 Banksia Grove, there are books available outside Mt Martha Preschool at 35 Watson Rd as well as outside 42 Dominion Rd and 28 Morlyn Rd. “The concept is basically ‘take a book. Leave a book’,” Ms Setches said.

“Anyone, adults and children alike, can stop by and share a book. Ours has been going for about six months and the word has spread.

“We would love to spread the word on the peninsula to encourage the use of the current libraries and have more people or organisations start up their own. In our experience it has been a very rewarding community undertaking. We constantly have people stop by our library on our side fence to take a look, exchange books, take photos and have a chat.

“There’s even a seat next to it to encourage people to relax and read.”

Ms Setches said “the wonderful concept of free books” had also been extended to bus stops.

To find out more about the original free library concept, go to littlefreelibrary.org or m.youtube.com/ watch?v=RNIYvtCthYQ for the bus stop version.

Lisa Brown English Teacher

The LEAP Program at Dromana College Find out how the LEAP accelerated learning program at Dromana College can realise your child’s greatest potential.

WHAT IS THE LEAP PROGRAM?

LEAP stands for Learning Extension and Acceleration Program and is offered to a limited number of very capable and committed students. Suitable students will have academic skills above those of their age peer group.

HOW DOES THE LEAP PROGRAM WORK?

Students stay in the same form group for two years where an environment of high achievement is established and maintained. The standard curriculum is accelerated and subjects are explored in greater depth. In Year 9 and 10 each student will be on an individual timetable that caters to their abilities and strengths. Their timetable will allow them to access the senior school subjects. Students may subsequently choose to complete additional VCE units, broadening the range of subjects they have undertaken. In Year 12 the students will have access to the VCE extension studies, which allows them to complete a university subject as part of their VCE.

WHO SHOULD APPLY FOR THE LEAP PROGRAM?

The LEAP program will not suit every student who is academically talented. Students need to have a high level of maturity and commitment, and be capable of independent learning. The student should be eager to learn and capable of working well in group situations. LEAP participants will still be in a mixed-ability classroom; however, the range of abilities involved will be narrower than is the range found in a mainstream class.

HOW DOES A STUDENT QUALIFY FOR THE LEAP PROGRAM? Students must sit an exam in August and, based on these results, 25 students will then be offered a place in the program in Year 7 at Dromana College. Places are limited and are based on academic merit.

Shire’s five-year plan for ‘positive ageing’ MORE than a third of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s population will be over the age of 60 by 2030 and the shire has released a five-year plan to enhance “the health, participation and security of older people in the community”.

A Community for All Ages – the Shire’s Positive Ageing Strategy 20132018 was launched last week.

It covers transport, housing, social participation, respect and social inclusion, civic participation and employment, communication and information, community services and health services, and outdoor spaces and buildings.

At the launch, the mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said the peninsula had the second-highest aged population in Victoria with more than 30 per cent of residents over 60 compared to the Melbourne metropolitan average of 17 per cent.

“The figures highlight the need for council to bring positive ageing to the forefront of all its decision-making,” she said.

“A Community for All Ages outlines a ‘whole of council’ and ‘whole of community’ approach to ensure people on the peninsula are supported to age well and to promote optimal health and wellbeing,” she said.

Cr Celi said the shire developed an “elder citizens strategy” in 2001, “one of the first councils in Victoria to help plan its service provision for older community members”.

The plan “further develops this early strategy to ensure the provision of infrastructure and age-friendly neighbourhood designs that enhance the

On the go: Helping launch the shire’s positive ageing strategy last Thursday were, from left, shire positive ageing officer Helen Ridgeway, Professor Xinghuo Yu of RMIT, shire CEO Michael Kennedy, the mayor Cr Antonella Celi, Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders founding chairwoman Delys Sargeant, PACE chairwoman Marilyn Godley, the shire’s disability and aged services manager Jenny Van Riel, and its director of sustainable communities Rob Macindoe.

physical, social and economic environment of the community”.

It would “enhance opportunities for older people to live and age well as valued contributors to their community, and ensure they build and maintain strong social connections as they age”.

The mayor said the shire worked with Peninsula Advisory Commit-

tee for Elders (PACE) to research current government policy and international best practice, and consulted with local agencies and community members “to determine the needs of the peninsula’s ageing community”.

PACE chairwoman Marilyn Godley said the advisory committee included shire officers, PACE

members and members of peninsula agencies.

Community summits will be held annually from 2015 to discuss and report on strategy implementation.

Copies of the strategy are at shire offices, at shire libraries, online at www.mornpen.vic.gov. au/Positive_Ageing or by calling 1300 850 600.

Jewels for good cause: Tina Strafford and Rosemary Fowler are using old jewellery to help charities at home and abroad.

Old jewellery shines brightly for charity REVAMPED Jewellery is a notfor-profit organisation raising funds for women’s charities by recycling, revamping and selling donated jewellery.

The Mornington boutique and workshop space is a first for the charity, which was founded by a group of local women looking for a way to raise money for a group of African women disfigured during conflict in their country. It has since supported the Mercy Ships campaign against human trafficking as well as other charities.

Henry, who now continues the work of Revamped Jewellery from Benalla, said donations started to arrive after the original members had dug through and sold their own unwanted jewellery “and the concept grew from there”.

Jewellery was sold at markets and during home demonstrations before space was found in Mornington’s light industrial area.

Tina Stafford, art therapist and cocreator of the boutique and workshop, said it is “wonderful to have a space for women to gather to help other women and a place to encourage

Rosemary Fowler said Revamped Jewellery was raising money for a fistula clinic in Ethiopia and the Mirabel Foundation in Australia.

“People have been so generous with jewellery donations, which will always be very welcome but what we need now is customers,” she said.

“There are some fabulous pieces for sale at extremely reasonable prices.”

State grant kick-starts men’s shed

By Mike Hast CREATION of a home for Mornington Men’s Shed is underway following a state government grant of $60,000.

The money from the government’s “Strengthening Men’s Sheds” program is part of $120,000 to renovate a section of an old classroom block at the former Mornington Secondary College site in Wilsons Rd. Mornington Peninsula Shire will tip in $40,000, and $20,000 will come from public donations and in-kind work from men’s shed members.

When announcing the grant, Mornington MP David Morris said the shed offered “a friendly, supportive environment [where] members undertake interesting projects, participate in social programs and provide assistance to many Mornington community groups”.

“The health of members is an important consideration,” he said.

Mornington Men’s Shed was formed in late 2012 and moved to a building at Mornington Peninsula Youth Enterprises in Mitchell St in early 2013 where members do woodwork, woodturning, metalwork and leadlight.

Twelve members have become more than 40, and vice-president Lindsay Edwards said when the renovation was finished at the end of the year, the group could have up to 100 members.

Demolition and clean-up work is expected to start this month or next.

The group would operated from both sites, Mr Edwards said.

The renovation will convert the former boys’ toilets, a boiler room and a passageway into a modern men’s shed of about 150 square metres.

The girls’ toilets will be renovated to provide extra toilets for adjacent Pen-

insula Community Theatre.

Running parallel with the men’s shed renovation is the conversion of the rest of the classroom block for arts and youth groups.

Last August, Federal MP Bruce Billson promised $800,000 to build a youth hub in Mornington in the run-up to the federal election. Confirmation of the grant is expected to be announced in coming weeks.

Last year, Mr Billson said “Mornington will get what Hastings and Rosebud already have – a new hub for council and community youth services”.

He said the 1950s building would be “transformed into a dedicated youth hub to cater for the needs … of the growing youth population of Mt Eliza, Mornington and Mt Martha”.

This project will cost about $1.2 million with $400,000 coming from the shire.

In September 2011, the first half of the renovated block was opened to great fanfare when the shire handed the keys to community radio station RPP-FM, which had moved from cramped quarters behind Moorooduc Coolstores.

In early 2009 the building was home to hundreds of pigeons, and lay derelict and unloved after the school moved to its current site in 1999.

The national broadcast standard studio complex was created by a cast of hundreds, including peninsula-based Rotary clubs led by Dick Cox, area businesses, the shire and professional builders leading a team of volunteers.

It was the shire’s first “community capital project” and cost about $400,000 in cash plus in-kind work and materials.

The men’s shed has wide support from the community. Last July, area

councillors Bev Colomb, Anne Shaw and Andrew Dixon gave $700 each from their councillor discretionary funds for tools and equipment.

The state government is giving $4.9 million to build 41 new men’s sheds in Victoria. It will provide more than $2.2 million from the $4 million Strengthening Men’s Sheds program, and nearly $2.7 million will be provided by local councils, the federal government, philanthropic organisations, community groups and fundraising activities.

There are men’s sheds in Mornington, Hastings, Somerville, Rosebud and Safety Beach–Dromana on the peninsula as well as in Frankston North, Langwarrin, Chelsea, Cranbourne and Keysborough.  For information about Mornington Men’s Shed, call president Paul Howard on 5975 4136 or vice-president Lindsay Edwards on 0418 360 666.

Junior footy’s new leaders have a plan

Footy plans: Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League president Andrew Souter is developing plans for the future of footy.

THE Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League has appointed a new executive team, with Andrew Souter taking over as president and Peter Susovich as vice-president.

Both have been involved in many levels of football, from Auskick and as players, coaches and administrators.

Souter played in the Northern Football League with Reservoir before taking on executive roles with Rosebud Football Club. He is on the coaching staff at Dandenong Stingrays and coached interleague last season.

Susovich played in the Amateurs

with Old Xaverians/CBCOB St Kilda and has performed a number of executive roles with Mt Martha Junior Fiootball Club before being the Auskick coordinator at Mt Martha/ South Mornington.

MPJFL is working with the AFL to bring a new era of junior football to the peninsula.

Along with regional general manager Jeremy Bourke and football development managers Ben O’Brien and Michael Roberts, the MPJFL executive plans to strengthen relations between Auskick and senior and

junior players.

Also on the agenda are “more dynamic finals structures”, a revamped website, a new independent tribunal for junior football, and a program for girls.

The league’s long-term strategy includes developing a five-year business plan, using league umpires in the under-10s, and automating some administrative functions.

It hopes a stronger working relationship with the Southern Umpires Association will lift standards in junior umpiring ranks.

“The MPJFL will continue to provide opportunities for all ages, abilities, cultures and genders to participate in all aspects of Australian Football, whether it be playing, umpiring, coaching, volunteering or in an administrative role,” Souter said.

“The MPJFL has strong community values and will continue to maintain the highest possible standards for all participants involved in our league.”

Anyone interested in becoming involved in junior football on the peninsula can go to www.mpjfl.vcfl. com.au to find their nearest club.

Stop Link servos: shire

Art from Sunday drives JENNY Riddle’s paintings of the Mornington Peninsula evoke her memories of Sunday drives.

“Being witness to such ethereal beauty is what inspires me to paint,” she said of her exploration of “nostalgia-driven imagery”.

Landscapes are portrayed in diffused light with fields and lone trees presenting the illusion of transient hinterland scenes.

Riddle’s work has been described as “harking back to the Romantic landscape painters of the 19th century” while “striving to connect man with nature”.

The “Sundays” exhibition at Manyung at Sorrento contains some of the latest works of the Red Hill-based artist (pictured) who a decade ago launched her career with the gallery.

Since painting under Howard Arkley while at Moorabbin TAFE in 1988-89, she has won “best seascape” at the 2008 Flinders Art Show, regularly exhibits in Perth and Sydney, and is represented in corporate and private collections in Australia and Europe.

Manyung at Sorrento is at 113A Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento, phone 9787 2953.

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire attempts to keep service stations out of its green wedge appear to have failed.

State Planning Minister Matthew Guy has ignored the council’s policy by approving twin freeway service centres on Peninsula Link at Baxter.

This is despite council’s refusal of the plan in 2011 and the state planning tribunal VCAT confirming the knock-back in mid-2013.

But the shire is not rolling over without a sound and will ask Mr Guy to reconsider his decision.

Mr Guy has disappointed councillors and the shire’s executive team by approving an amendment to the shire’s planning scheme to enable the freeway service centres (FSCs) to go ahead – all without input from the council.

This is despite new plans substantially reducing the size of the twin complexes on either side of the freeway (“Smaller servos in Baxter wedge”, The News, 18/2/14).

Cr David Gibb told The News that Mr Guy had sought council’s views on the matter but then gone ahead and approved the change before the council could comment.

Cr Gibb was among councillors strongly opposed to the FSCs in 2011 when the council knocked back the proposal.

Melbourne developer AA Holdings, which builds FSCs with the BP brand, appealed the council decision in the VCAT, which in mid-2013 confirmed the shire’s refusal.

It has twin FSCs on Calder Freeway in Keilor, Hume Freeway at Wallan, Princes Freeway at Officer, EastLink tollway between Ferntree Gully Rd and Wellington Rd, and Geelong Bypass at Lovely Banks.

A report to councillors presented on Monday night last week stated “the Minister for Roads [Terry Mulder] requested the Minister for Planning [Matthew Guy] to approve an amendment to the planning scheme”.

“The circumstances of this report are unusual [as they require] council to make a decision and advocate for a matter that would appear to have already been decided,” the report stated.

“However it is considered that the matters at stake are so important for both the local community and the wider community from a road safety perspective that it is incumbent upon council to undertake further advocacy.”

Councillors agreed to send a letter to Mr Guy expressing disappointment about the process and calling for him to “prepare, adopt and approve a different amendment” that considers the council’s views.

The council also called for investigation into the exit to the freeway from the southbound FSC, which objectors and shire officers say is not long enough for trucks and towing vehicles to attain a safe speed to rejoin the freeway.

It wants a path so pedestrians walking to McDonalds, KFC, a convenience shop and coffee kiosk are not tempted to cross the freeway.

It wants “adequate noise protection, control of litter, and security for the directly adjoining landowners”.

In 2011, the council said the twin servos would impinge on the green wedge zone, was a “commercial development of excessive scale within the green wedge”, the design and location of the development failed to adequately protect the landscape and environmental values of the Moorooduc flood

plain, and it would “have an adverse impact on the amenity of the area with regard to noise, light and visual bulk”.

“The proposal will result in the loss of agriculture land in the green wedge zone, which cumulatively jeopardises the economic viability of the Mornington Peninsula in terms of agricultural productivity.”

Cr Gibb said the council’s stance had not changed since 2011.

“I don’t believe there is a need for the northbound service centre; it’s just 20 minutes from Rosebud,” he said.

The case for a southbound centre also was weak considering service centres on freeways leading to Peninsula Link, he said.

“Shire councils over many decades have sought to protect the values of green wedge including landscape values, and habitat and biodiversity values. I’m disappointed with another assault on our green wedge.”

He said the centres were against both state and local government policy.

The new proposal has generated several strong objections from residents appalled that their input will not be considered by Mr Guy. The council has received just one submission in favour of the servos, from Peter Baulch of Baxter Residents and Traders Progress Action Committee, which has supported the FSCs from the beginning.

Supporting the project behind the scenes is Linking Melbourne Authority, the state government body formed to oversee the building of EastLink tollway and Peninsula Link.

LMA awarded the tender for the Baxter twin servos to AA Holdings in late 2010.

Students make all the right orchestral moves

ORCHESTRA Victoria took its “On the mOVe” program to the Mornington Peninsula last week with secondary students participating in master classes and rehearsals.

Music teachers also had the opportunity to gain professional development.

On the program was an intensive two-day music education workshop with Orchestra Victoria’s musicians, after which students joined orchestra members in concert.

“I love being part of a real orchestra. It’s been such a great experience working with professional musicians from Orchestra Victoria and it’s inspired me to practice even more,” said Rosebud Secondary College flute player Alexandra Dellaportas.

Selected students from the program will be invited to perform with OV during the free public “mOVe Future Talent” concert at Melbourne Recital Centre in November.

Classic: Above, Orchestra Victoria’s Steve Williams conducts students from Rosebud Secondary College, Toorak College, Woodleigh School, Padua College, Peninsula School, Beaconhills College Berwick, Nossal High School and Mornington Secondary College during two days of rehearsals at Peninsula Community Theatre in Mornington.

Burglaries rise but police curb assault

By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula crime rates increased by less than 1 per cent last year compared to the previous year, well down on the state average, with a 20 per cent drop in the number of drug offences detected the most significant area of improvement.

The number of assaults and other “crimes against the person” were well down over the year from January to December 2013 compared to 2012, but the positive result was offset by a sharp rise in property crimes, led by a 15.4 per cent jump in the number of homes burgled and a 7.2 per cent rise in vehicle thefts.

Mornington Peninsula police commander Inspector Neil Aubert said increased incidents of theft from motor vehicles was another area of concern for police.

“I must say that, statistically, we are still seeing over 60 per cent of thefts from motor vehicles occur where vehicles are left unlocked,” Inspector Aubert said.

“We are also seeing valuable items, such as mobile phones, wallets, purses and other electronic items left on display in vehicles. Please remember to protect your valuables and think before your leave your car.”

In Frankston, crime was up 3.2 per cent over the year – almost three times the state average.

In contract to the Mornington Peninsula, drug offences surged 21 per cent, while there was 27 per cent jump in the number of breaches of intervention orders.

Most categories of crime were well down in Frankston over the 12 months

from January to December last year compared to the year before, including a 22.8 per cent drop in the number of vehicle thefts, 18.5 per cent fall in residential burglaries, 14.5 per cent decrease in assaults, and an 11.7 per cent decline in robberies.

The sharp rise in the number drug crimes, including possession, trafficking and manufacturing, is an area of growing concern among senior police, with evidence suggesting the figures not only reveal higher rates of detection, but also a pattern of growing use, particularly in the case of methamphetamines, or ice.

Deputy Commissioner Lucinda Nolan said rises in the number of drug offences in recent years had been mostly due to increased police numbers and better rates of detection “but the trend-

PENINSULA FIREPLACE CENTRE BEST PRICES ALL YEAR ROUND

ing and analysis we’ve conducted shows there is actually an increase in the number of users”.

“It’s not just now about detection, it’s also about an increasing problem of drug use in the community.”

Ms Nolan said the use of methamphetamines had risen by such an extent that it was now challenging cannabis as the drug behind most offences.

“You see the impact it has, particularly on the regional centres and rural communities; it is absolutely huge, how it has impacted on those families and those local communities.”

Domestic violence and breaches of intervention orders were also areas of focus for police, particularly in the aftermath of the murder of 11-year-old Tyabb boy Luke Batty, who was killed by his father, Greg Anderson, in February.

Warrants for Anderson’s arrest for failing to appear in court over multiple incidents of domestic violence and breaches of intervention orders had been issued by police but had not been acted on in the weeks leading up to the murder.

Ms Nolan said that while the number of breaches of intervention orders had significantly increased across Victoria, this did not mean the system was failing and instead reflected stronger enforcement by police.

“When there are breaches, whether they are minor or major, police are taking action,” she said.

Chief Commissioner Ken Lay said domestic violence accounted for the majority of physical attacks, with 40 per cent of crimes against a person occurring in the home. “This just underlines the impact of family violence.”

Strong women inspire change TO celebrate International Women’s Day, Mornington Peninsula Shire and Friends of Lospalos are hosting a screening of Alias Ruby Blade, the acclaimed documentary that follows the journey of Kirsty Sword Gusmao.

Kirsty Sword was a young Australian activist who aspired to be a documentary filmmaker but instead became an underground operative for the Timorese resistance in Jakarta.

Code-named Ruby Blade, her task was to act as a conduit of information and instruction for the enigmatic leader of the East Timorese resistance, Kay Rala “Xanana” Gusmao, who was serving a life sentence in a Jakarta prison for revolutionary activities.

Through their correspondence, Kirsty and Xanana fell in love – and helped foster the birth of a nation.

Alias Ruby Blade captures their love story from this beginning to the ultimate triumph of freedom in East Timor, demonstrating the power of ordinary individuals to change the course of history.

Ms Sword Gusmao’s original footage from 1990 onward makes up parts of the raw and evocative documentary.

Homing in on family violence

Revolutionary activities: Kirsty Sword Gusmao with husband Xanana Gusmao, the prime minister and former president and revolutionary leader of Timor-Leste.

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said International Women’s Day on Saturday 8 March was an opportunity for the community to celebrate the achievements of women such as Ms Sword Gusmao, whose mother live on the peninsula.

“The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day is inspiring change,” Cr Celi said. “On this day we should celebrate the achievements of all women in our community and across the world.

“Women have worked hard to inspire and achieve many positive outcomes for our society and there are many role models that we can draw on as being exemplary in their achievements.

“All women play a pivotal role in contributing to many areas of our society and there is still a lot more to be done. I would encourage women to give some thought to areas that may still need some attention and improvement and come forward to inspire change.”

The screening of Alias Ruby Blade is at 7pm on Friday 7 March at the council chambers in Queen St, Mornington. Bookings are essential and can be made by visiting www. internationalwomensday.com/ aliasrubyblade or calling 5950 1685.

Entry by gold coin, with all proceeds going to support projects for women in East Timor.

THE latest Victoria Police crime figures show the family home remains the most common location for crimes committed against the person, a category that includes assault, sexual assault and rape.

And the Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service warns that family violence rates will continue to grow unless urgent action is taken.

In the lead-up to International Women’s Day on 8 March, crisis service chief executive Annette Gillespie said family violence exacted a far greater toll on the community than people imagined.

“We know that one in three women will experience family violence or sexual assault in their lifetime. At least one woman a week is killed by a partner or ex-partner in Australia,” Ms Gillespie said.

For every family violence death or serious injury that makes the news, there were thousands more women suffering at the hands of abusive partners or ex-partners, usually behind closed doors, she said.

“We expect these rates to increase over coming years because we know that less than half of people who experience family violence will report it to police.”

Ms Gillespie said International Women’s Day was an opportunity to take action against the inequalities that women and girls still suffer in Australia and across the world.

“Violence against women is both

the cause and consequence of gender inequality and is an abuse of the power imbalance between men and women.

“It is used to enforce gender roles and norms, and assumes that women are inferior to men.

“We can only truly tackle violence against women if we address gender inequality as a core element.”

Ms Gillespie said all society benefited when women and girls reached their full potential.

“In Australia, the pay gap between men and women costs the economy $93 billion every year. Women are also two and a half times more likely to live in poverty in their old age than men.

“Family violence alone costs the economy $13.6 billion every year – a figure that is expected to rise to $15.6 billion in 2021 unless we take serious preventative steps.”

Mornington Peninsula police commander Inspector Neil Aubert said more needed to be done to address the issue of domestic violence.

“Family violence is an ongoing statewide issue that takes a terrible toll on families and the wider community,” he said. “These destructive behaviours will remain a priority for police and support groups.”

Women suffering domestic violence can call the Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service’s 24-hour crisis line on 1800 015 188.

Why did finance chief Kearney quit?

COMMENT

By David Harrison MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s finance chief Marilyn Kearney held her senior executive post for little more than a year before deciding to move on even though she was in the midst of preparing the shire’s 2014-15 budget.

Ms Kearney was a star recruit to the shire, arriving in December 2012 after 11 years with the City of Monash during which time she acted briefly as chief executive.

Her impressive credentials include a position on the board of Local Government Professionals and a seat on the advisory board at Monash University’s Faculty of Business and Economics. She advocates for the promotion of women to senior levels in local government.

She could have been a potential replacement for shire CEO Michael Kennedy, who has presided over the shire since 1999 – a 15-year stint, remarkably long for a chief executive in any field, including local government.

So why did she resign to move to a similar senior role at the City of Boroondara? Her new job could be regarded as a sideways move, leading to speculation about tensions in the shire’s Rosebud headquarters.

It has been speculated that her husband did not want to move to the

peninsula and that Boroondara would be an easier commute from her present home.

With her long experience and wide interests, Ms Kearney might have found the shire management culture eccentric, to put it mildly. Dr Kennedy is known for his micro-management style.

A hint of conflict came last year when complaints were made about the announcement that shire rates for 2013-14 would rise by 5.9 per cent when the real rise was more than 7.7 per cent.

The figure was corrected to reflect the $180 municipal charge – up 12.5 per cent from the previous year – implicitly accepting that the shire’s longstanding practice of understating rates rises will have to be abandoned – a significant win for ratepayers and the cause of openness and transparency.

This episode would not have gone down well with Dr Kennedy and several of his senior executives. It might have led to the decision that she, rather than Alex Atkins (infrastructure) or Stephen Chapple (planning) should present the report on the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) to councillors in December, when the foreshore site was confirmed as the preferred location for the pool.

Either man, or even recreation manager Peter Gore, would have seemed a more logical choice to present the

case. Mr Atkins was on leave but attended the meeting, apparently keen to know the result of the vote on a matter with which he has been so closely involved for so long.

Many veteran council watchers remarked on the choice of Ms Kearney to present the SPA case and her uncharacteristically flat presentation, including her use of the superseded SPA cost figure of $28 million and lack of other relevant financial information.

The shire has so far resisted community requests to release the many documents she used to prepare her report.

The shire will battle to attract a candidate of her calibre to the finance post. The mystery of her sudden departure will by now be well known in the local government community, possibly deterring some good potential candidates.

As to her possible future at the shire as chief executive, the future of the post will come under discussion in coming months as Dr Kennedy’s contract draws to a close.

Councillors have reappointed the CEO for his past two terms without advertising the job. They must decide in August – six months before Dr Kennedy’s contract expires – whether this time they will advertise his position or reappoint him for a fifth term.

Perhaps Ms Kearney will apply for his job.

Farewell to ‘Queen of Chardonnay’ MORE than 250 mourners farewelled the Mornington Peninsula’s “Queen of Chardonnay�, Wendy Lloyd, at a service in Mt Martha on Monday 24 February.

Ms Lloyd succumbed to cancer soon after her 60th birthday.

She and her husband David Lloyd had fulfilled a dream about 20 years ago when they bought a Red Hill vineyard and started making their widely appreciated range under the Eldridge Estate label.

Mr Lloyd’s first wine venture used grapes from vines he planted beside the railway line in suburban Hampton before the couple moved south.

Red and white roses Ms Lloyd had planted and nurtured at the end of each row of vines – red for reds, white for white wine grapes – decorated her coffin.

The Lloyds met at university while studying science. Both went on to teach the subject, Ms Lloyd at Firbank Girls’ Grammar School in Brighton, whose Bel Canto choir sang the blessing at her service.

Wendy Lloyd was warmly remembered for her love of her students, her spectacular organisational ability (Firbank asked her continue preparing its timetables and the like after she left the school), her enthusiasm for Eldridge Estate vineyard and winery, and her powerful forehand.

The Lloyds shared a love of tennis as well as wines of both colours, and Cavalier King Charles spaniels, many of them named after wine varieties.

The couple spent much time travelling, particularly in the wine regions of France, where the photograph was taken.

Long road to healing begins

By Chris Brennan AS the tight-knit Tyabb community bid farewell to a cherished young soul taken far too soon, police, psychologists and trauma counsellors warned the healing process was likely to be long and difficult, particularly for Luke Batty’s family, friends, school colleagues and cricket teammates.

In an effort to help those struggling to come to terms with the trauma of Luke’s murder at the hands of his estranged father at the Tyabb cricket ground last month, a range of help and support services have been put in place.

Hastings police took to the cricket field to join a practice session with Luke’s Tyabb Junior Cricket Club teammates to help them feel safe at the place where the tragedy unfolded.

Senior Sergeant Alan Courtney said it was important Luke’s teammates felt comfortable and secure while continuing to enjoy playing cricket.

“Luke loved cricket and we want to make sure that his teammates understand it’s OK for them to keep playing, and to make sure they feel safe while doing so,” Senior Sergeant Courtney said.

“It’s obviously been very difficult for them and they need to know that there is support.”

The following evening, residents of Tyabb and surrounding areas were invited to attend a forum at Tyabb Community Hall to receive informa-

tion about grief counselling services and how to best cope with grief.

Windermere Child and Family Services psychologist and trauma consultant Graham Clue attended the meeting on to talk about the tools and strategies people could use to deal with trauma.

A “pop-up” youth space providing professional support and counselling for young people will also operate at the same hall every Wednesday until the end of Term 1.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Watson Ward councillor Lynn Bowden said the youth space was an extension a the “safe space” set up at the hall immediately after Luke’s death to provide professional support and counselling for community members affected by the incident.

“This youth space is a direct result of this feedback and understanding that the community will require ongoing support – especially young people – in the weeks and months to come,” Cr Bowden said.

The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said that the impact of the Tyabb event have been felt across the community.

“The effects of events such as this ripple throughout the whole community. I sincerely encourage anyone – of any age, gender or location – to seek out help from any of the many services throughout the peninsula that can offer assistance.

Having the chat: Organ recipients Brooke Huuskens and Mary Bawden visited Mornington Secondary College last Tuesday along with Peninsula Health nurse Jodi Vuat as part of Donate Life Week. Students showed their support by wearing hot pink Donate Life “twibbons”.

Time for life-changing chat TWO grateful organ recipients last week visited Mornington Secondary College to explain to students the importance of organ donation.

Brooke Huuskens and Mary Bawden visited the school along with Frankston Hospital specialist donation nurse Jodi Vuat as part of Donate Life Week, which concluded on Sunday 2 March.

Ms Bawden told students her lifesaving liver transplant operation 10 years ago would not have been possible had it not been for the actions of her donor.

She had been working as a kindergarten teacher at a peninsula school when she suddenly became ill, and soon after learnt she would need a

FRANKSTON

liver transplant in order to survive.

While she experienced some dark moments while battling the disease and awaiting an available organ, she told the students she managed to stay positive by creating lists of everything she had achieved throughout the day.

Finally she received news a suitable donor had been found. The person had died, but while still alive had told family members of their wish to have their organs donated.

“Thankfully, my donor had the chat with their family, which helped the family uphold their wishes,” Ms Bawden said.

Like Ms Bawden, Ms Huuskens also emphasised the importance of

“having the chat” with family about organ donation. “Your decision to become an organ donor has the potential to save lives,” she told students, after explaining how her transplant operation had enabled to continue living life to the fullest.

While sick with a terminal kidney disease, Ms Huuskens decided she would life as if each day was her last. She became an “adrenaline junkie” and went sky diving, travelling around Europe and cage diving with great white sharks.

Four years ago, she received a kidney donation from her father.

Since then, she has continued to live a high-energy life, even climbing Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa.

Walker’s been going coastal for 40 years

By Mike Hast GRAHAM Patterson’s ambition to walk the entire coastline of Victoria including Port Phillip had an inauspicious start.

In the early 1970s he decided to walk from Port Fairy to Portland but part-way along the route ended up struggling out to the road and hitch-hiking into Portland to catch the train back to Melbourne.

“It was only about two inches on the map and looked easy,” he said.

“But I was under-prepared, young and not very smart: I carried too much in my backpack but not enough water and had to give up.”

Some time later, the avid bushwalker decided to walk the whole Victorian coast but has never again been unprepared.

During the walks he began to wonder about what he was seeing. What are these animals and plants? How was the rock layer in that cliff formed? What was this place like 150 years ago?

Mr Patterson’s inquiring mind and his adventures on the coast over all those years have led to him self-publishing a book, Coastal guide to nature and history – Port Phillip Bay, the first in what he hopes will be a series covering all of the state’s coast with Western Port likely to be his next book.

He started walking sections of Port Phillip’s coast about 15 years ago and has covered all 260 kilometres.

The guide is divided into four sections: Point Lonsdale to Geelong, Avalon to Williamstown, Port Melbourne to Frankston, and Mt Eliza to Point Nepean.

It contains general walking and safety advice, Aboriginal and European

history, coastal animals and plants, landforms, and management.

Mr Patterson, who started walking the coast in his mid-20s and is now in his mid-50s, spent hours researching in libraries, historical societies and talking with experts.

He also returned to places previously walked after having the book idea to take photos and has included historic images.

“There are fascinating stories of human enterprise such as Wilbraham Liardet’s original tourism business at Port Melbourne, coastal industries such as the cement factory at Fossil Beach near Mornington in the 1860s, and a depot at Altona for exporting explosives,” he said.

The book covers the creation of Port Phillip and its repeated filling and emptying over millions of years, and the fiery formation of the volcanic western shore.

“Some parts of the coast are not easy to reach, and maps and advice will help people find them.”

Mr Patterson told The News he had walked about three-quarters of the state’s coast.

“I’ve walked every kilometre between South Australia and Wilsons Promontory, and some stretches further east. Well, almost – I paddled a kayak past some mangrove shores, and I missed a few places where access to the coast is forbidden. I think I’ll need another lifetime to tick off the rest of the shoreline.”  Coastal guide to nature and history – Port Phillip Bay by Graham Patterson, 172 pages, paperback, $30 post-free from www.coastalguidebooks.net.au

Building on the value of Western Port

By Mike Lean THE Port of Hastings Development Authority is undertaking an unprecedented program of detailed environmental, social and economic studies within Western Port to identify and explore the critical assets in the area as part of the planning works for the Port of Hastings expansion.

Commercial trading in Western Port has been occurring since the 1800s and has generated significant social, economic and environmental benefits.

The Port of Hastings has been shipping petroleum, gas and steel-based products for more than 40 years.

This has been fundamental to underpinning the Victorian economy’s out incident and there are no recorded

incidents of oil spills in Port of Hastings waters.

It is important to understand Mike Lean that the proposed expansion will turn Hastings into a container port.

The government is not proposing to develop Hastings into anything other than a container port and to continue the current trade through the port.

The industrialisation of the port has even demonstrably added to the ecologi-

cal values of Western Port. For instance, Long Island Spit, an area of reclaimed land created as a part of port expansion activity in the 1960s, has become an important high-tide roosting spot for birds, one that has contributed to Western Port’s value as a designated Ramsar wetland.

This legacy of balanced and mutually beneficial environmental and economic benefit is one that the authority is committed to continuing and extending as we plan for container shipping expansion over the next decade.

The port also plays a critical regional role in the implementation of Australia’s national plan for maritime environmental emergencies – a framework for preparedness and response to marine pollution incidents.

The port continually reviews its protocols and procedures to maintain its exceptional track record of preventing oil spills and ensure it upholds a worldclass capability to respond to marine emergencies.

Over the next three to four years, the authority will be taking a holistic view of the environmental, social and economic benefits of expansion of the port to meet Victoria’s demand for container trade.

Through careful planning, detailed study and extensive consultation with local communities and scientists, we can ensure the value of Western Port continues to grow both environmentally, socially and economically.  Mike Lean is CEO of the Port of Hastings Development Authority.

Saints hit streets ST Kilda footballers, coaches and various other handlers were out â&#x20AC;&#x153;spreading the red, white and black gospelâ&#x20AC;? on Frankston streets on Thursday.

With research showing they are one of the most popular AFL clubs in the area, there was little fear of rejection.

The Saintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; foray saw them mingling with shoppers and stallholders at the regular farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market.

Instead of handballing footies, they

were handing out flyers about the club and free tickets to games.

The club will next be taking its On The Street drive to the municipalities of Kingston, Bayside, Glen Eira and Port Phillip.

Research shows one of every five AFL club members in the municipalities are St Kilda members and the club is hoping the drive will further cement its position as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the bayside clubâ&#x20AC;? from Port Melbourne to Portsea.

THE annual Rye RSL and Mornington Peninsula Vietnam Veterans golf day drew a full card of entrants and raised thousands of dollars for local charities. Held at the Dunes Golf Club, the charity golf day on Friday 21 February saw 118 eager golfers battle wet and windy conditions as they competed within an Ambrose format in teams of four. A total of $8,500 was raised from the event, with cheques presented to Sorrento SES, Rye CFA, Peninsula VietnamVeterans, Legacy, Rye Youth Centre, Vietnam museum and Rye Junior Cricket Club, as well as special financial assistance to help support the travel needs of outstanding young local cricketer Max Cairns. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning team was Simon Pilgram, Andrew Walton, Scott Cameron and Adam Broomhall, above, while the runner up was a team from Rye RSL consisting of Adam Boneham, Larry Seakins, Bob Beckerleg and Brendon Richardson, right.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Workers kill ‘monster’ stingray; choral society conductor resigns Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 7 March 1914 THERE was great excitement on the Mornington pier on Monday afternoon last, when a large stingray came swimming up close to the slip, where some men were working. One of the men seized a crow bar and drove it through the monster’s head, and the other men followed up the attack.

When pulled ashore the fish measured over 7 feet in length and 5ft 3in in width, and turned the scale at 2 cwt. *** MR Walter Jennings, the conductor of the Choral and Orchestral Society at Frankston, has been a pronounced success with the Conly Touring Co., and, unfortunately, is unable to continue his choral work. Our advertising columns call applications for a new conductor. *** READERS are again reminded that entries for the Dromana sports close to-day (7th March). *** ENTRIES for the Somerville Show close on Saturday, 14th March. Entry forms and schedules to be obtained from the secretary, at Somerville, and at the Frankston office of this paper.

THE Frankston band on Saturday evening played a programme of enlivening selections in Bay Street.

The band is still improving, and the excellent playing on Saturday evening was much appreciated. The handicaps for the principal events of the Naval Base sports, to be held on Saturday next, 14th Match, appear in another column. The times of arrival

and departure of special train are also announced. *** TENDERS for the erection of a new school building at Somerville are invited in another column. Particulars may be learnt at the Public Works Office, Melbourne, or the school in Somerville. *** DR Charles Ryan is an inmate of Coonara private hospital, South Yarra, suffering from an injury to his left eye. While at the Broadford military encampment, some foreign substance lodged in the eye, with rather serious results. *** AT the State plantation at Frankston 1100 acres have been planted with pines during the last three years, and the trees are now from 3 feet to 12 feet in height. About 400 acres will be planted this season. Over 500,000 seedlings have been raised and transplanted. *** MR F. N. Fairs notifies that he will visit Flinders, at Mr F. G. Savage’s, “The Bungalow,” on Wednesday, March 11, from 2 till 5, and Thursday, March 12, from 9 till 5. On Friday, 13th March, he may be consulted at Mrs Palmer’s residence, Hastings, from 11 a.m. till 3.30 p.m. *** A MOST enjoyable social and musical evening was given by the “Gay Gordons” on Saturday last, when Mr and Mrs Twining were the recipients of a pair of handsome vases and the former also a smoker’s outfit. Supper was tastefully laid in the big dining room, and highly appreciated by all

present. On the occasion of last year’s entertainment, Mr and Mrs Twining were presented with a handsome eight day clock by the same camp.

For some time past the drain has, on and off, been in an unsatisfactory state, and it is high time something was done to remedy the evil.

*** A MEETING of the ladies’ committee of the forthcoming sale of gifts, to be held on Easter Monday, in aid of the Frankston Cottage at the Convalescent Home, was held at the Bay View Hotel on Thursday evening. Mrs Gregory presided. It was resolved that Mrs Amos be appointed asssistant secretary. The ladies to take charge of the various stalls were appointed, and the meeting adjourned to Thursday evening, 19th inst.

*** “DISINFECT” writes:- Cannot something be done by the powers that be to at least mitigate the objectionable smell emanating from the drain in Playne Street, near Bay Street, Frankston? On several occasions this week I counted two and seventy stenches, all well defined, and several stinks, and this in one of the main thoroughfares of the town. For some time past the drain has, on and off, been in an unsatisfactory state, and it is high time something was done to remedy the evil. *** THE Government fruit cool stores are just about completed, and it is expected will be open to receive fruit on Thursday next. A trial run was given on Saturday last, and everything was found to be in perfect order. The only drawback will be the water supply, and as the dam which has been erected for this purpose is dry, water will have to be supplied by rail. The building is a fine looking structure, and is expected to prove a handsome asset to the district. An official opening will take place in a week or two, the date of which will probably be fixed at the Fruitgrowers meeting on Thursday evening next, at which Mr C. French will be present. *** THE Progress Association met on Wednesday, when there was a fair attendance of members. Messrs A. Forsyth, Rigby W. Rowe, and E. Deakin were elected to the Foreshore Trust.

An objection is to be lodged with the Dandenong council with regard to the Federal Government’s proposed method of supplying the Naval Base

with water. The bad condition of the Eelrace road is also to be brought under notice of the council. *** AT the present moment practically all that can be said of this new seaside suburb is that it has a good train service, a railway station, and a charming beach in close proximity thereto. Probably after Saturday, the 7th prox, a great deal more can be written, as on that day 140 business and residential sites are to be offered for sale. The sale is to be conducted

by T. R. D. Morton and Son, in a marquee adjoining the station, at 3 p.m. The terms quoted are remarkably easy. viz., £5 deposit, £3 per quarter, five per cent interest. The Railway Commissioners have explicit faith in the future of the district, as they have recently completed the station premises at a cost of £3,000. Melbourne city is rapidly extending, other seaside townships have already doubled in values during the past few years. The investor who is wise will attend the sale, and purchase allotments at the very outside, which promise in a very brief period to double in value. *** THE overseas export of fruit from here has now fairly commenced, and about 300 bushel cases were consigned during the last fortnight in February from the Frankston railway station. Sydney is also receiving attention, fruit prices there being high. Although the season has been exceptionally dry, the fruit sent away has been of good quality and well developed.

Trousers: the power and the glory

By Stuart McCullough CLOTHES maketh the man. Or so claimed the inventor of the Fido Dido t-shirt. (Believe me, they’re overdue for a comeback.) But what garments give they can just as easily take away, so the whole uneasy truth is that clothes can undo a person, regardless of gender, quicker than you can say ‘elasticized waist’.

This, broadly, sums up my relationship with apparel. When I think of all the fashion statements I’ve made over the years, the vast majority of them are riddled with expletives. But it’s not my fault. You should have seen the things my father used to wear.

There are some items that never go out of style. There are others, however, that could catch three buses and a ferry and still not be anywhere near being in style. I speak, naturally, of the string vest, a garment that provided far too little in the way of mystery.

It was only as an adult and when looking over some old photo albums that I noticed my father holding my younger brother, moustache bristling, smiling for the camera and unashamedly wearing a string vest. Luckily, he was wearing it on top of some type of crew-neck pullover rather than rocking it free-range. He looked like he’d just been caught by a fisherman. Or had recently returned from some kind of Austrian discothèque.

It was far from an isolated incident.

My father was also a firm and unabashed supporter of ‘the formal short’.

These days, when someone uses the term ‘award winning shorts’, they’re generally referring to a movie that

lasts about ten minutes. But when I was a kid, it was a kind of truncated pant you wore with a belt and really long socks. These were socks that tickled your kneecaps and could only stay aloft with the help of garters. These were, in essence, pieces of elastic used to keep your socks suitably elevated whilst drastically reducing your cir-

culation. It’s been decades since I’ve needed to wear garters. I do not miss them. Not one bit. But my father loved nothing more than to wear a pair of formal shorts and really long socks, supported by a couple of garters that could easily double as tourniquets.

If nothing else, my father has always been sensitive to the prevailing

trends and refused to remain trapped in the past. He didn’t continue to wear the formal short when all around him screamed “surrender”.

Instead, he adapted with each new decade so convincingly, it was almost as though he was undercover. In the eighties, he owned at least one pair of acid wash jeans. I’m not sure he went so far as to possess a Fido Dido t-shirt, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he had.

In the nineties, he embraced the hiphop lifestyle by purchasing a pair of inflatable tracksuit pants championed

by MC Hammer. When I complained, he would point out that he’d never been more comfortable in his life. Perhaps it’s lucky for me that his interest in hip-hop couture didn’t extend to the Wu Tang Clan.

And while I might make fun of my father’s inept fashion sense, I have not lived a life free of sin in this regard. In year nine, I wore a jumper my uncle had rescued from the ‘lost and found’ box of the school he worked at. It was stylish, it was heavily patterned and, unlike most woolen jumpers I’d ever seen in my life, the sleeves only went to the elbows.

My uncle worked at a private school in the city and, I was convinced that people who lived in town were more sophisticated and stylish than we were. It never occurred to me that it was ‘lost’ for a reason.

For a good six months in primary school, I decided to dress like a nineteenth century chimney sweep, complete with a ‘hello Guv’nor, shine your shoes?’ peaked cap. It goes without saying that ‘chimney-sweep chic’ did

not sweep through the broader Tyabb area. At university, when trying to master a foreign washing machine, I succeeded in shrinking all my clothes by two whole sizes, but continued to wear them regardless. It made me look like I was partway through turning into the Incredible Hulk.

Like most families, we get together when we can. Most recently, we caught up for lunch at a hotel on the Peninsula. It was the kind of place where you order at the bar and the meals all come with either chips or salad. There’s a playground that seems to consist of a lot of intersecting tubes that can entertain kids for hours or, after a few too many drinks, may require adults to be extracted with the Jaws of Life. I was relaxing and chatting to my father when I noticed.

They weren’t formal shorts or the pants that MC Hammer rejects. They were exactly the same trousers that I, myself, was wearing at that exact moment. We were, it seems, dressed the same. My first reaction was to recoil whereas my father’s was to suggest that I had excellent taste – something he knew full well not to be true.

My wife’s response was, perhaps, most telling of all and involved pointing her finger and shouting so that the rest of the family would notice. I could call it a coincidence, a mere dent of fate, but I’d be kidding myself.

Ultimately, there’s no point trying to fight it. When it comes to family, we’re more alike than we’d care to admit. It can take the smallest thing even a pair of trousers – to remind us. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Kangas’ unlikely bounce into final four PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully LANGWARRIN has come from nowhere to claim a place in the Provincial finals after smashing Moorooduc on Saturday.

In the final round of 2013-14, the whole season hinged on four matches.

Langwarrin had to belt Moorooduc to be a chance, Mt Eliza had to do likewise to Mt Martha, and Long Island and Baxter needed to beat top-of-thetable Sorrento and Mornington respectively.

Langwarrin achieved its objective, beating the Ducs by a whopping 144 runs.

The Mounties got the 12 points against Mt Martha but weren’t overly convincing.

Baxter only made 128 against Mornington, which was never enough.

The eyebrow-raiser was Long Island heading down to Sorrento and coming away with a win.

After the calculators came out following the matches and the MPCA verified the figures, Mornington topped the table and was crowned minor premiers.

Sorrento finished second, Long Island third and Langwarrin fourth.

At the other end, Mt Martha was relegated to District ranks next season. It finished equal on points with Rye, but its percentage was 0.01 behind.

Finals was a great result for Langwarrin in its first season back in the top grade.

It wasn’t all great news for the Kangas as opening batsman Simon McEvoy sustained a leg injury and required a runner for the majority of his 80 not out innings. He will miss the semi-final this weekend but this opens the door for Taylor Smith, who scored 91 on Saturday in the Second XI and has 400 runs for the season, including a First XI century against Peninsula Old Boys in one of his five senior appearances.

Despite injury, McEvoy took control of the match at the top of the inning, and Andy Johnson saved some of his best for the final round, belting 71 runs.

Langwarrin finished on 4/255. To improve its percentage, the team needed to preserve wickets, get plenty of runs, and take 10 wickets. It achieved all of this.

Matt Davie snared early wickets and when Bobby Wilson was run out for just 10, the Kangas could sense an opening.

Mal Coutts and Dwayne Doig finished things off, rolling the Ducs for just over 100. Myles Cordeux was the only bat to offer resistance, scoring a half century.

Long Island was sensational once again against Sorrento.

In what was a dress rehearsal for this weekend’s semi-final between these two, Islanders’ openers Paul Hartle (55) and Aaron Paxton (31) got

the side away to a flyer before Justin Bridgeman strode to the crease and made 83.

The score of 8/224 was a ripper at David McFarlan Reserve but it was gettable.

C J King was the pick of the Sorrento bowlers with 4/63.

In reply, Leigh Poholke (29) and Nick Jewell (21) got Sorrento going but fell within 12 runs of each other.

While Andrew Tweddle and Scott Phillips did the early damage, it was Greg Lamb (5/32) and Hartle (3/45) who provided the bulk of the problems for the Sorras.

Sorrento was all out for 146 in the 33rd over, Liam O’Connor top-scoring with 33.

Mornington didn’t have too many problems defeating Baxter. Baxter won the toss and batted first, losing its first three wickets, including Daniel Warwick for a duck, for just five runs.

Shane McComb hit 34 and Dale Ir-

ving 37 to help the score to 128.

Michael Heib was superb for the Dogs with 5/28. In reply, the Dogs made 3/150.

Mt Eliza made 5/178 in its match against Mt Martha, Tim Strickland top-scoring with 53, Ben Tracey opening with 36 and Luke Marshall next best with 35.

In reply, the Reds were all out for 108 in the 33rd over. Chris Holcombe top-scored with 27.

Crib Point (5/151) won its final match of the season against Heatherhill (8/147), Luke Herrington topscoring with an unbeaten 83 and snaring 2/18.

In the final match of the home and away round, Peninsula Old Boys (2/155) got the 12 points against Rye (151).

In this weekend’s finals, Sorrento will host Long Island, and Mornington will host Langwarrin at Alexandra Park.

Parkers red hot favourites for flag DISTRICT

By IT Gully DELACOMBE Park will host Somerville, and Pines will be at home to Main Ridge in the District semifinals this weekend.

The Parkers will go into the finals having lost just one game this season and will be hot favourites to take out the major prize.

On Saturday, the team scored 8/204 batting first against Seaford.

Joel Malcolm, who has played only the four games since Christmas, hit form at the right time with 65, while Nick Christides (61) relished the op-

portunity of warming up for finals with a one-day match. Ben Brittain chimed in at the end with 36.

Geoff Smith bowled well for Seaford and took 5/31.

In reply, a number of Seaford batsmen got starts but couldn’t go on with it. Keeper David Anderson top-scored with 38 and Shane Fonseka made 28 in only his second match.

Chris Brittain snared 4/18 for the Parkers and Brett Chard continues to do his job, this time taking 2/19.

Main Ridge made light work of Ballam Park, belting 4/328 after winning the toss and batting first.

Ridge opening batsman Michael

Holmes blasted 125 at the top of the order and Brad Rossborough continued his dominating form with an unbeaten 73.

The Main Ridge skipper has made 487 runs this season, 200 since Christmas. Ed Aarons and Gareth Wyatt were also among the runs with 59 and 49.

In reply, the Knights were bowled out for 179 in the 35th over. Matty Roach top-scored with 44 and Darren Johnson was next best with 32.

Scott Millar was the best of the Ridge bowlers with 5/54 and Tom Wilson helped himself to 3/65.

Somerville got the result it was

looking for against Carrum with six overs to spare. Carrum won the toss and batted first at Somerville Reserve, making 9/170 from 40 overs.

The Eagles replied with 7/174 from 34 overs.

Flinders recorded an easy victory over Hastings. The Sharks batted first at B A Cairns Reserve and made an impressive 6/248 from its 40 overs.

Mitch Floyd was the pick of the Hastings bowlers with 3/58, giving him 17 wickets for the season.

When Hastings batted, it seemed Luke Hewitt (85) and Tim Birch (31) were going to get the visitors home, but when they lost their wickets, the

side was bowled out 38 runs later for 211.

Somehow, Baden Powell was able to defend 6/110 against Boneo. Rhys Elmi top-scored for the Braves with 42 while Nathan Rice finished unbeaten on 24 after 40 overs.

In reply, Boneo was bowled out for 78 in the 34th over.

Brendan Jovic was superb for the Braves with 5/28 from eight overs, giving him 22 scalps for the season.

Michael Ballard took 3/18.

Ballam Park will be relegated to Sub-district next season after finishing on the bottom of the table.

Mornington News 4 March 2014

By IT Gully BALNARRING and Frankston YCW will play finals in MPCA Sub-district despite losing their matches on the weekend.

In a great warm up for the pointy end of the season, the four finalists played their ladder rivals on Saturday. Strangely enough, they will not meet in the first week of finals.

Top-of-the-table Red Hill was too strong for the Stonecats and knocked them down to third place on the ladder while Rosebud shot to second place and a home final after beating Balnarring.

It was a high-scoring and very entertaining game at Balnarring Reserve on Saturday. The home side won the toss, batted and put together what many believed was a winning score of 5/235 in the 40 overs.

Peter Doughty was the best of the Buds’ bowlers with 3/44.

The Buds lost their first three wickets for just 42 runs before Matty Maher and Darren Kerr came together in the middle. Maher made 72 and Kerr 38, and the Buds made the runs (7/239) with an over to spare.

Red Hill made light work of YCW. The Hillmen batted first and skipper Simon Dart was at his best with 111. Rheede Hopgood scored 44 and Riley Shaw 28 to help the home side to 6/250.

In reply, the Stonecats could only manage 8/149 in its 40 overs.

Brent Martin was the pick of the Hillmen bowlers with 4/19 and Jamie McCall snared 2/35.

In other matches, Tootgarook (5/138) was too strong for Dromana (134), Pearcedale (4/179) easily accounted for Carrum Downs (152), and Skye (141) defeated Tyabb (2/144).

After long, hot summer, it’s a final dozen MPCA

By IT Gully THE Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association season started with 34 teams in three divisions.

After 11 matches since 5 October 2013, we are down to 12 teams battling for glory in the finals starting on the weekend.

It has been another enthralling season in all three divisions, with finals spots undecided until the last round of the season.

Regardless of how good it has been, you just get the feeling there is plenty of great cricket to come in the final few weeks.

Let’s take a look at the last time the sides met in Provincial, District and Sub-district matches.

Provincial Mornington v Langwarrin, Round 5.

Langwarrin won the toss and batted first at Mornington’s Alexandra Park.

Danny Weare top-scored for the Kangas with 44 and Michael Edwards (27), Mal Coutts (25) and Ben Wells (20) all got starts. They were bowled out for 150 in 53 overs, Matt Foon and Luke Popov taking four wickets each.

In reply, the Doggies batted for 96 overs and made 9/231. Anthony Gapes scored 58 and Ben Clements 63. Dwayne Doig snared 4/70 for the Kangas and Matt Davie 3/56.

Sorrento v Long Island, Round 11.

The sides met last weekend. It was a one-day match so things will be different in a two-day game.

Long Island batted first and made 8/224, Justin Bridgeman top-scoring

with 83, Paul Hartle hitting 55 and Aaron Paxton 31. C J King took 4/63 for the Sharks.

In reply, Greg Lamb took 5/32 and Hartle 3/45 to bowl Sorrento out for 146, Liam O’Connor top-scoring with 33.

District Delacombe Park v Somerville, Round 10.

The Parkers and Eagles met two weeks ago at Delacombe Park. The Eagles were smashed, making just 78 in 53.3 overs. Sam Delaney hit 43 and Chris Brittain picked up 4/18 from 13 overs for the Parkers.

In reply, Delacombe made 7/206 in 91 overs. Nick Christides top-scored with 71 and Chris Brittain made 32.

Pines v Main Ridge.

The sides met in the opening round of the 2013-14 season in a one-day match.

Pines won the toss and sent the Ridge in to bat, which paid dividends, the visitors being restricted to 9/94 from 40 overs. Brett Remy picked up 4/18 for the Piners.

In reply, Pines got the runs with five overs to spare, and Ricky Ramsdale top-scored with an unbeaten 30.

Sub-district Red Hill v Balnarring.

Red Hill travelled to Balnarring in round four. The Hillmen batted first after winning the toss and were rolled for just 112 in 38.4 overs. James Wisken collected 4/18 from nine overs and Jacob Cook 3/29.

Red Hill was superb with the ball,

rolling Balnarring for just 93. Lincoln Toy was on fire with 4/25 from eight overs while Glenn Collett (2/14) and Brent Martin (2/3) were also among the wickets.

Rosebud v Frankston YCW. The Stonecats hosted the Buds in the first game after Christmas, a onedayer.

Rosebud won the toss and batted first, scoring 6/225. Darren Kerr topscored with 86, Matty Maher hit 37 and Leigh Parslow 28. Luke Hutchison was the pick of the bowlers with 2/28.

In reply, the Stonecats did things easily with two overs to spare. Jack Greenwood opened with 75 and Jason Bedford hit 52 to help the home side to 6/229. James Magee with 3/40 off seven overs was Rosebud’s best bowler.

Kangas nab premiership captain MPNFL

By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN has pulled off arguably the recruiting coup of the season by snaring Dromana premiership captain Rikki Johnston.

The 32-year-old reunited with his Dromana teammates Luke O’Neil and Liam Hogan at Langwarrin after signing with the club last week. It was the first time he’d touched a football since the 2013 grand final win over Sorrento.

The move brings together the successful partnership of Johnston and his premiership coach, Gavin Artico.

It wasn’t the Dromana connection at Langwarrin that got Johnston over the line. It was Langwarrin’s physio Mark Halligan, owner of Lifecare Physiotherapy. The wives of Halligan and Johnston are best friends.

Johnston is the second Nepean Division club captain to join the Kangas in the past fortnight after Tyabb’s Matty Dimkos signed.

Artico couldn’t believe his luck when he got the signature of “Rikki J”.

“This is a massive get for the club,” Artico said.

“We are a very young list and to have the likes of Rikki and Matty sign in the past fortnight brings a lot of experience to the group.

“Rikki is a quality individual and the best footballer I have coached or played against in my time in the MPNFL. “He has won every accolade there is in football and was a star against Ovens and Murray when we beat them at Frankston a couple of seasons ago.

“I’m not sure those in Peninsula League appreciated just how good he is.”

Johnston will take on an assistant coaching role at Langwarrin.

Johnston told The News that he was a “long time retired”. “This is a new start and I’m really looking forward to the challenge,” he said.
