Aerial salute to war vets

By Chris Brennan AVIATION enthusiasts descended on Western Port in their thousands for the biennial Tyabb Air Show at Peninsula Aero Club on Sunday.

Officials estimated visitor numbers at more than 8500, making it one of the biggest turnouts in recent years.

This year’s event, dubbed “A Salute to Veterans�, featured a drive-past parade of dozens of ex-servicemen and women from RSL clubs across the peninsula to mark the centenary of the start of the Great War in 1914.

Visitors also paid tribute to murdered

Tyabb schoolboy Luke Batty, observing a minute’s silence at 11am before releasing hundreds of yellow balloons in honour of Luke’s favourite colour.

The action – and weather – heated up in the afternoon as planes from almost every war Australia has been involved in took to the skies.

Aircraft in action covered almost a century of aviation history, from the First World War Sopwith Camel that first saw service on the Western Front in 1917 to the RAAF’s current frontline fighter jet, the F/A-18 Hornet, which performed a flyover in tandem

The ear-splitting appearance of the RAAF F/A-18 Hornett was the most talked about event of the show, producing gasps from most visitors but tears of fright from many of the younger visitors as it tore across the sky at almost 1000km/h.

The Hornet was flown by Number 3 Squadron commanding officer Wing Commander Tim Alsop, who grew up on the peninsula and learned to fly at Tyabb. He performed a number of precision manoeuvres.

Melbourne port sale linked to Hastings

By Mike Hast THE state government will offer the proposed container port at Hastings as part of a deal to privatise the Port of Melbourne.

The government announced last week it would seek to lease Melbourne for 30 or 40 years to a private consortium and tie in the sale with the Port of Hastings.

But the move would not affect current planning work, says Port of Hastings Development Authority CEO Mike Lean.

Mr Lean told The News “nothing changes and we are continuing to prepare reports for environmental approvals and the business case”.

The authority moves to a crucial stage this month when it signs contracts with consultants that would take it through to the end of the four-year planning process, Mr Lean said.

The authority was given $110 million by the government last year for planning.

Premier Denis Napthine said the government would undertake a “scoping study to look at how we can involve the private sector in both the operation of the Port of Melbourne … and also integrated into that is the opportunity for those people to be involved in the development of the Port of Hastings”.

Dr Napthine’s announcement echoes one made by the Labor Opposition last year when it said it would lease the Port of Melbourne for 99 years for $6 billion and spend the proceeds on removing 50 of the most dangerous and congested level crossings.

The Premier said his government would carry out a scoping study before the 2014-15 state Budget to look at future ownership options of the two ports, including the economic and commercial value of each option.

Ports Minister David Hodgett reportedly said any decision the government made on the future of the “ports network” would be “carefully considered, factually based, and be in the best interests of supporting the state’s continued growth”.

State treasurer Michael O’Brien said the government could reap an even greater windfall by tying sale plans to the proposed Port of Hastings expansion.

He said money from the sale would go into “transport infrastructure”.

State government policy is for the Port of Melbourne to become a commercial and residential development site after the 30- or 40-year lease expires. Hastings would then become the state’s main port.

Labor favours creating a port at Little River near Geelong, the so-called Bay West option, but a transport insider told The News this was not viable as it would require a massive amount of dredging.

The government says Hastings is the best option as it is a natural deep-water port that would need less dredging than other locations.

The deep water claim has been rejected by environmentalists, who say there are only two deep parts of Western Port – the channel between Bass Strait and Long Island Point, and a section between Phillip and French islands.

Starting point: The state government-owned wharfs at BlueScope Steel will be the southerly point of the $9 billion plus container port that will become Victoria’s main one when the Port of Melbourne is decommissioned and turned over for development.

The state government has not put a value on the so-called “ports network” – Melbourne and Hastings – but last May a consortium paid $4.31 billion for a 99year lease of Port Botany in Sydney’s east and $760 million for smaller Port Kembla near Wollongong.

Late last year a Canadian pension fund bought a 27 per cent stake in the Port of Brisbane for about $1.4 billion, valuing the state’s biggest port at $6.2 billion.

Melbourne is the last major publicly owned port on Australia’s eastern seaboard.

In other Port of Hastings developments, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council late last month told Planning Minister Matthew Guy that his proposed statewide port zone should be phased in at Hastings as it was a special case “given its distinguishing features from the [three] other ports [in Victoria]”.

The council stated the port zone could become “a tool for positive … planning for the expansion of the container port without prejudicing [its] proper long-term functioning and its

surrounding area or blighting the land so that it becomes unattractive for interim rural uses”.

“It would only be appropriate to apply the new zone to established public port assets and land under the direct control” of the Port of Hastings Development Authority.

The council, led by David Garnock and Lynn Bowden, called on Mr Guy to adopt a “more transparent and inclusive approach” to allow the shire and stakeholders to be consulted.

War of words over servos Landscaping Building and and Gardening Renovating Equipment Equipment Bobcat, Excavator & Kanga Loader Hire

2069 Frankston-Flinders Rd, Hastings

5979 8885

By Mike Hast A WAR of words has broken out between state Planning Minister Matthew Guy and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council over the proposed Peninsula Link freeway twin service centres at Baxter.

The council has complained about Mr Guy approving the servos without input from the council but Mr Guy says he wrote to the council on 31 August last year and received no reply.

Mr Guy approved the scaled-down version of the so-called freeway service centres (FSC) in February, just days before the council discussed the matter at its 24 February meeting.

The original proposal was knocked back by the council in December 2011.

Councillors said at the time it 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”.

Proponent AA Holdings, which builds freeway service centres under the BP brand, went to the state planning tribunal in June 2012 seeking to have the decision overturned, but the tribunal agreed with the shire.

The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal said key reasons for the refusal included insufficient traffic to justify the twin servos, loss of green wedge farmland, and the project’s potential impact on breeding grounds of the threatened dwarf galaxia native fish.

VCAT members Rachel Naylor and Greg Sharpley stated there was a lack of identified need for the freeway service centres.

The centres were meant to start operating when Peninsula Link opened in January last year.

Late last month, the council voted to tell Mr Guy that it was “disappointed that contrary to previously indicated intentions, the minister did

not obtain the council’s views before making his decision to approve Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme Amendment C195”.

Led by councillors David Gibb and Anne Shaw, the council called on Mr Guy to cancel his approval and start a new process that would allow input from the council as well as residents affected by the proposed servos.

But a spokeswoman for Mr Guy said the council had since August to comment and the scaleddown proposal “had the support of shire officers”.

She said the minister had dealt with the matter under a planning law known as A20 part 5 intervention. Mr Guy reportedly said the council had held three meetings at which it could have discussed his action.

Rules prohibiting service centres in green wedge zones had been introduced after AA Holdings made its application, he said.

The council told Mr Guy the “strategic justification provided by the Linking Melbourne Authority to support this proposal has not been adequately established particularly in the green wedge and having regard to the recent changes to the green wedge zone, which prohibits a freeway service centre”.

“Consistent with the VCAT hearing on the same matter, the need for a rest stop has not been established for the northbound site only 20 minutes after entering the freeway at Rosebud. The proposed southbound site is similarly less than an hour from Melbourne and the West Gate Bridge route; less time again from the EastLink route”.

“Other sites may exist that would provide a greater level of service, greater safety, less impact on adjoining owners, and greater consistency with the planning policy framework.”

The council said the servos would “adversely impact the economic vitality of other activity centres on the Mornington Peninsula” as the proposed retail part of the servos was “equivalent to the size of a local activity centre [that] would typically serve a population up to 5000 people”.

Road stop for biplane at air show

AN inexperienced pilot flying a homemade, single-engine aircraft had a lucky escape after overshooting the runway at Tyabb airfield and stopping in the middle of a major road during Sunday’s Tyabb Air Show.

Fortunately no vehicles were using the road at the time, with MorningtonTyabb Rd having been closed to traffic for the air show.

The pilot, a man aged in his 60s who was visiting the air show from the Western District, was attempting to land on the airfield’s north–south run-

way about 9.30pm but failed to pull up in time.

He bounced over a fence at the end of the runway and crashed down onto the footpath beside the road before coming to a stop.

The impact tore the undercarriage off the plane.

The man was treated by ambulance paramedics for shock but was otherwise uninjured.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is investigating the incident.

Good news at last for Yabbies NEW netball courts are set to be built at Bungan Reserve – the location of the tragic death of 11-year-old school boy Luke Batty last month – after an intensive fund-raising drive by members and supporters of Tyabb Football Netball Club.

The Yabbies last week received council approval and a welcome $5000 donation from the RACV Cape Schanck Resort for the new courts.

But the club is still looking for additional funding to complete the project, which is estimated to cost about $200,000.

Tyabb netball director Leanne Hansen said the application process and fund-raising efforts had dragged on for years.

“Last week we received the great news that our courts have finally been approved and, after the recent sadness around the club, this was uplifting news,” she said.

“At the moment our girls play and train at a nearby school, which is not only costly but also isolates us from our club,” she said.

“We have tried to get local sponsors which has been very difficult as the Tyabb business community is very small.

“Our girls have had sausage sizzles, car washes and numerous fund raising events that have contributed some funds [about $6000] but unfortunately not enough.”

She said the courts would cost about $110 000, while lighting, shelter and fencing would add an additional $90,000 to the bill.

Mornington Peninsula Shire has agreed to provide $42,000 for the project and the club recently learned

it had been granted a further $5000 from the RACV Good Citizens Program. Mrs Hansen said building works would begin soon and the club would be hoping and preying the additional funding could be found in the near future.

The netball club is affiliated with the Tyabb Yabbies football club with

which Luke Batty played as a junior.

“The courts will also benefit the whole community, as the local schools are keen to use the courts as well.

But it also helps promote a healthy life style. Keeping young women involved in sport and the local community is important to our club.”

LETTERS Containers are not the future IF there was any possibility of large-scale shipping containers being transported to Melbourne and interstate from the Port of Hastings, we could have a serious debate about the pros and cons.

Port of Hastings Development Authority CEO Mike Lean attempts to put the pros in a reasonable manner (“Building on the value of Western Port�, The News, 4/3/14).

In a recent discussion with Mike and as a result I learnt that: ď Ž Western Port Highway would become a threelane road each way with a railway line down the middle. ď Ž All those display houses and people’s homes that we see on the way to Dandenong would be compulsorily acquired. ď Ž Truck movements (yes, the big articulated ones) to the city and beyond would clog our arterial roads. And you think that the Monash is slow now. ď Ž The railway track gauge from Hastings is different to the main line and all containers would need to be offloaded somewhere and reloaded at great expense. ď Ž The cost of a new railway line to Dandenong and beyond to take containers would tie up this state’s entire infrastructure spending for the next 50 years.

In perspective, it would be more feasible and cost effective to dig a tunnel under Port Phillip to move containers to where they would be viable – near Geelong.

I am not forgetting the environment, but the case for a container port at Hastings is lost on economic grounds long before other considerations.

I would also like to point out the big lie about Western Port – we hear from politicians and Mornington Peninsula Shire that it is a deep water port. It is not. It is a shallow, ancient river estuary and the river created a narrow, deep channel that is now used for ship access to Crib Point and Esso at Long Island Point.

Over time, sea levels rose but Western Port remained shallow, as evidenced on the Western Port Biosphere-organised boat trip I attended with Mike. We saw in graphic detail the world-

It is shameful that politicians are raising the hopes of local people, including the unemployed and businesses, while wasting millions of dollars on a study lacking in commonsense.

No sculpture for Flinders roundabout ON reading The News last week and seeing a digital image of the proposed sculpture at Flinders (“Town divided over 150th sculpture gift�, 4/3/14), I thought it must have been an April Fools’ Day joke.

But it can’t be. It’s only March.

I would have no objection to the sculpture being placed on the foreshore or even in a local park, but not on the roundabout.

Aren’t sculptures like these meant to be touched, looked at and walked around?

But how can a member of the public do this at a roundabout? I’m thinking of McClelland Gallery’s sculptures.

I hope the Flinders Community Association places petitions or information in Balnarring, Hastings, Rosebud and Dromana, not just Flinders, as all residents should have a say.

The issue affects everyone who lives on the peninsula.

Also city folk who visit might like to have a say.

Rosemary Jones, Balnarring

Yes we have bananas THERE has lately been a lot of conjecture about the need for a new port, Hastings or elsewhere, to accommodate the future freight needs of this country for goods that come and go via Victoria.

I don’t think we should bother. As soon as coal exports are exhausted, use the Port of Gladstone to export our bananas.

Our manufacturing industries have been decimated and soon will be virtually eradicated.

A BIG thank you to Mornington Peninsula Shire’s “clean team� for keeping our town so clean and free of rubbish.

John, Jenny and Russell are doing an amazing job around the streets of Hastings. It will be a shame when they finish up at the end of April until next summer. You are very much appreciated.

A PORSCHE-driving hoon narrowly escaped a bill of almost $15,000 when police impounded a high-performance hire car after catching the driver doing burnouts in Baxter on Monday.

The 30-year-old Queensland man was on holiday in Melbourne with his partner and had hired the late-model black Porsche Boxster 987 at a weekend rate of $1000 a day to explore the Mornington Peninsula.

Frankston highway patrol members spotted the Porsche convertible spinning its wheels on Moorooduc Highway, near Sages Rd, just after 10am.

Police intercepted the driver and were set to impound the vehicle for 30 days under anti-hoon legislation.

However, police on Tuesday returned the rental car to the hire company.

Melbourne’s Sports Car Rentals hires the $100,000-plus Porsche at $495 a day and the Queensland driver would likely have had to pay the rate in full over the 30-day seizure period.

Police said the driver was expected to be charged on summons with a range of offences, including driving in a manner dangerous, careless driving, improper use of a motor vehicle, and excessive speed.

Not so lucky was a 20-year-old man whose Holden ute was impounded after exceeding the speed limit by more than 30km/h in Tooradin last Friday.

Police detected the ute travelling at 130km/h in a 100 zone on South Gippsland Highway.

The ute was intercepted and impounded while the driver was found to be driving while disqualified and driving a prohibited vehicle. The Tooradin man is expected to be charged on summons.

NICE full page advertisement from Moving Victoria on page 11 of your 4 March edition extolling the virtues of all sorts of things that the state government has done, or will do for us, including providing Protective Service Officers.

Hastings MP Neale Burgess in your paper on 23 November 2010 on page 5, promised that there would be “two fully trained and armed police protective services officers ‌ on every metro and major regional railway station, including Stony Point line stations from 6pm until the last train, seven days a week.â€?

I want to know where they are. Cleary Mr Burgess understands that his constituents really are anxious getting to their cars at Bittern station, so those PSOs surely would help.

In the same 4 March paper, we saw the first “sod� turned for the Somerville police station and here in Bittern we can’t get our two armed PSOs. What have we done to be ignored like this?

The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said the list of events sought to “unite the community in common values of respect, fairness, participation, acceptance and a fair go for all”.

“In valuing diversity, we value each other, our differences, our commonalities and all the wonderful things that make our peninsula the vibrant and creative place we all love.”

The 2011 Census showed that 18 per cent of people living on the peninsula were born overseas, with 5.9 per cent coming from a non-English speaking background, mainly Italy, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, Croatia, France, Spain and China.

The peninsula also has the state’s second-fastest growing Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander population.

Residents’ road rage at Shoreham

By Keith Platt RESIDENTS of a small and unsealed court in Shoreham are holding their breath hoping the road covering is not swept away and low-lying properties flooded by the next heavy rain.

They believe adequate drainage can be provided without constructing the road, as recommended by Mornington Peninsula Shire’s engineers.

Steve Duff says he’s been waging a war of words with the council for three years, writing letters, attending on-site meetings and making phone calls.

While there has been some work on his street, Lyric Court and its feeder road Howard St, Mr Duff says it is not enough.

“I’ve had the runaround for three years and the water still comes into our property from the street. I could have fixed it in a fortnight,” said Mr Duff, a man with some knowledge of earthmoving equipment and road building from his management of a stone quarry.

One comment from a shire employee that “I get a shovel” to fix the problem particularly annoyed Mr Duff.

“That’s when I went in [to the shire office] but couldn’t get to see an engineer,” Mr Duff said. “It was a bizarre comment.”

A work crew from Mornington Peninsula Shire eventually arrived with an excavator, infuriating one resident who objected to the removal of roadside vegetation.

Following a complaint to the Ombudsman, Lyric Court residents were given a list on 28 October 2013 of works proposed to protect their street.

Flood fear: Steve Duff believes more can be done to alleviate flooding and erosion from downpours on the unsealed Lyric Court in Shoreham. Picture: Yanni

Drains would be “redefined” in Howard St and Lyric Court.

The letter from the shire’s safer local roads coordinator Peter Young “also noted” the small size of many crossover culverts and “encouraged” residents to install larger ones.

“If property owners would like to upgrade their culverts at the time these works are undertaken, the shire will install them for the cost of the pipe only,” Mr Young stated.

The solution came one year after Mr Young had written to Mr Duff informing him the shire did not see the need

for any work other than “routine grading”.

Mr Young said the shire’s drainage engineer Glen McAliece considered maintenance of Lyric Court as being “appropriate to the scale and type of problem being managed”.

He said Mr McAliece believed “the most effective solution to the drainage issue would be to construct the road incorporating kerb and channel and underground drainage”.

Mr Duff says residents are happy living on an unsealed road but believe it could be graded and fitted with drains

in such a way that flooding would be avoided.

On Monday the shire’s infrastructure project manager Craig Cinquegrana said constructing Lyric Court at residents’ expense would provide the best protection.

“Given the residents’ feedback expressed to council through extensive consultation, the works proposed are considered to be an appropriate compromise between retaining the natural environment, as valued by the residents, and flood protection,” he said.

Batty murder triggers overhaul for warrants

By Chris Brennan POLICE will overhaul procedures for processing warrants to ensure they are carried out more quickly in the wake of the murder of 11-year-old Tyabb schoolboy Luke Batty by his father, Greg Anderson, who was wanted by police at the time of the incident.

Police had an opportunity to detain Anderson three weeks before he murdered his son last month but failed to do so because they were unaware of five separate warrants out for his arrest.

Anderson was shot by police following the murder and later died in hospital Chief Commissioner Ken Lay said an outdated IT system was to blame for the delay in spreading information about the warrants.

A review of Victoria Police’s warrant procedures launched following the incident found that the current process resulted in delays of at least two weeks before all police officers were made aware of the existence of an outstanding warrant.

“The review recognised this inefficient process delayed opportunities to apprehend offenders and has the potential to compromise community safety,” police said in a statement.

Currently, court-issued bench warrants require the warrant and brief to be forwarded by the prosecutor via a secure document exchange service to the informant’s station, police said.

“Once the brief and warrant is received at the station, the informant then has two weeks to attempt to execute the warrant.

“If the warrant is unable to be executed after two weeks, the informant sends the unexecuted warrant to the Victoria Police’s record services division, where it is entered into the Law Enforcement Assistance Program (LEAP).”

New procedures set to be implemented by Victoria Police from 1 April will require warrants to be forwarded directly from the prosecutor’s office via a secure document exchange service to record services where they will be immediately entered onto LEAP, police said.

“The warrants will then be visible organisationwide within two to four days. However warrants issued for offenders identified as high risk by prosecutors will be given priority and actioned immediately.

“The new procedure will significantly improve the ability to locate and apprehend wanted persons in a timely manner. This will further result in the prevention and reduction of offenders committing additional crimes.”

The state government announced $2.5 million in funding on Tuesday to provide “the additional resources required to ensure the success of the project”.

Police and Emergency Services Minister Kim Wells said the funding would help ensure warrants were available to all police electronically within one to four days of their issue.

Police will also implement a longer-term solution that involves the implementation of technology that would enable immediate upload of warrants direct from the courts.

“We cannot have a situation where warrants for serious crimes are issued against a person but most police don’t know about them,” Mr Wells said.

“In response to a request from the Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay, the state government is pleased to provide funding that will significantly streamline processes related to arrest warrants.”

Inspiring time out on peninsula

By Loretta Lloyd SINGER–songwriter and pagan priestess Wendy Rule came to the Mornington Peninsula in an old van with the hope of finding a natural haven that would inspire her to write and record her 13th album, Black Snake.

Rule’s need to be close to nature and create new music was “perfectly matched” when she arrived a year ago.

After two years of overseas touring with manic schedules and living out of suitcases, she was desperate for a homely space.

She says paying respect to Mother Nature is an integral part of her “being, beliefs and music”.

Once on the peninsula, Rule joined a gym and the library provided her with a “delightful” sense of community.

A year on, Rule says she feels reinvigorated, ready for another overseas tour and to promote her latest album. Much of it was written while “exploring” driftwood emerging from sandy beaches, bird gazing by mangroves or solitary walks through bush reserves in Western Port.

Black Snake is an album about transformation and, without expecting so, Rule has found it has led to personal transformation, “shedding her skin” and giving away most of her possessions collected over decades of living in Melbourne.

She has been inspired to live simpler, “more of a country lifestyle”.

“I hadn’t been part of a full winter in a decade and it was just marvellous to take the time to watch the subtle changes in flora, from autumn to winter with places like Lorna’s Triangle [bushland reserve at Bittern] as the backdrop,” Rule said.

Her daily walk there was a spiritual ritual: “I see it as a walking meditation, when I can be close to nature like that.

“It has been the most beloved and blessed period of creating, I can’t hold back my joy. It [her new album] is an ode to nature and human nature; our need to honour the cycles of life and death, summer and winter.”

The album’s final track, All Life Flows, was influenced by “the rhythm of a Somers beach tide”.

Her songs were inspired by the peninsula: “A magical land of nature, art and strong community, hidden secrets; so much to explore.”

Rule, who soon leaves for Europe and the United States, will play a free concert at Somers General Store on Sunday 16 March. Bookings: 5983 2070.

Lyle heads field at Flinders TOP Australian golfer Jarrod Lyle heads a group of professionals competing in the $16,000 Flinders Golf Club Pro-Am on 19 March.

Shepparton-born Lyle, who took an 18-month break to battle leukaemia for the second time, is on the comeback trail.

“With his health on the improve following a second battle with leukaemia, Jarrod has set himself for a hectic March period to get his fitness and swing fine-tuned to make a return to the rigours of tournament golf, and playing the Flinders Pro-Am is an important step in that direction,” Flinders Golf Club captain and chairman of the 2014 Pro-Am Phillip Redley said.

“He is a regular at our event and a favourite with all our members and no matter the weather conditions on the day, Jarrod has the game to shoot a below-par score.”

More than 60 professionals will compete for the pro-am’s $12,500 while amateurs will be chasing $3500. A further $20,000 is up for grabs for any professional or amateur who scores a hole in one on the 203-metre, par 3 “West Head” third hole.

As well as Jarrod Lyle, a former US tour and nationwide tour player and winner of the 2004 Jacobs Creek Open championship, Euan Walters, will also be playing along with Craig McLean, who has played on the Asian tour for 12 years and won the 2013 PGA Club Professional Championship at Hamilton Island.

Also lining up 9 will be Scott Laycock who won the 2001 Victorian Open in a record score that still stands.

“Top 30 Australasian order of merit players David Branson (14), Andrew Martin (9), David Fox (27) and Steven Jones (28) make for an extremely strong field,” Mr Redley said.

“As always down on the coastline, Flinders weather can really test any player with wind, rain, hail or it can really turn on a brilliant autumn day with just a gentle sea breeze.

“The Flinders event supports a number of charities each year, but none more deserving than our designated charity for this pro-am, Very Special Kids, a charity that improves the quality of life for families or children with lifethreatening illnesses.”

‘Harmony’ is flowing at the creek A COMMUNITY project to replant and build a barbecue and picnic area alongside a neglected creek in Langwarrin symbolises the Islamic principles of “personal and societal cleanliness”.

A plaque marking the start of the Harmony Creek project in Leisureland Drive was unveiled on Clean Up Australia Day. The project is being undertaken by members of the adjoining Ahmadiyya Muslim Association’s Bait-ul-Salam (House of Peace) mosque, Frankston Council and Melbourne Water.

The mosque is in the renovated former Leisureland Fair amusement park off North Rd. Bait-ul-Salam is the state’s only Ahmadiyya centre with people coming to attend prayers and community functions from Geelong and Ballarat.

On Sunday 2 March, Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor inaugurated the Harmony Creek project by planting a tree on Clean Up Australia

Day at the reserve.

More than 200 members of the Ahmadiyya community, neighbours and council officers attended the ceremony, which started with a reading from the Quran by Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria president Javed Safdar Choudhary.

Mr Javed said Islam stressed the need for cleanliness and described it as a part of the faith.

He said Islam also taught harmony, peace and loyalty to homeland, and for all Muslims to obey and cooperate with higher authorities.

The Harmony Creek project was a small example of the Muslim association’s cooperation with local authorities and a gesture to show its concern for cleanliness and for the environment.

Cr Taylor said he was “happy and delighted” to begin the project on Clean Up Australia Day. He said the project aimed to convert the area

into a useful urban space, with barbecues, picnic tables and better walking tracks.

Cr Taylor and Mr Javed planted a memorial tree on the banks of the creek after unveiling a plaque.

When announcing the project at the association’s annual Australia Day dinner, Cr Taylor described it as “a great news story that will allow the local community here to go jogging around the creek area. I think it’s just a great example of how the mateship and giving back comes into play”.

Skylift wants shire land for offsets

By Mike Hast REPLACEMENT of trees and bush cleared for the proposed $14 million Arthurs Seat chairlift gondola could come from three nearby shire reserves, says gondola chairlift spokesman Simon McKeon.

Mr McKeon, one of four shareholders of Arthurs Seat Skylift Pty Ltd, revealed the “native vegetation offset” plan at a public meeting last week organised by the Association for Building Community in Dromana.

It was the first public meeting since Mornington Peninsula Shire put Skylift’s plans on display for public comment.

Mr McKeon said 55 hectares of “shire-controlled” land had been identified by shire and Parks Victoria officers as a suitable vegetation offset for clearing at the bottom station, the 14-16 metre wide gondola corridor up Arthurs Seat, and the top station with its 100-seat cafe.

He said the land would be transferred from shire ownership to Parks Victoria and be included in Arthurs Seat State Park.

Later in the week, the shire’s manager of statutory planning, Angela Hughes, told The News the “potential transfer of shire-controlled land into Arthurs Seat State Park has been raised as one potential option to achieve the native vegetation offset required by this proposed development”.

She said this would have the benefit of “keeping the offset in our community and may provide a higher degree of protection for the land”.

The 55ha (140 acres) was given to

the Shire of Flinders in 1974 when a developer subdivided land west of Purves Rd between Seamists Drive and Waterfall Gully Rd. The land is zoned green wedge and would unlikely ever be rezoned for homes but Lot 15 in the subdivision sold for $1 million three years ago.

This would make the 55ha worth at least $8.8 million if it ever came on the open market.

Asked about its value, Ms Hughes said the council “would have to follow a statutory process to consider the potential ownership of this land, which may include putting a nominal value on [it]”.

At the ABCD meeting, Mr McKeon told more than 130 people the project would revitalise the state park, create an internationally recognised attraction, and boost the peninsula’s economy through tourism and employment.

The fully enclosed 40 gondolas carrying up to eight people each would run all year round and could operate at night, he said.

Mr McKeon’s presentation covered vegetation removal, bushfire, noise, traffic, visual impact and parking.

He said reports covering these topics had been submitted with the planning application, which was available on the shire’s website.

But a flora and fauna assessment had been delayed due to changes in state government rules and would be submitted to the shire in about 10 days.

Angela Hughes said the chairlift planning application had been received in November 2013 but the shire had asked for additional information on 19 December. “All of the requested information was received by council by 7 February 2014, except for the revised flora and fauna assessment”.

She said the assessment had been delayed “due to recent changes to the planning framework for the assessment of native vegetation offset provisions in the planning scheme”.

Mr McKeon said Skylift’s architect James McGann had redesigned the top and bottom stations so they had a reduced visual impact from those shown in May 2011.

Skylift CEO Hans Brugman had been “engaged with the CFA” since 2008, before Black Saturday and the subsequent royal commission, and the company was focused on fire safety.

Skylift consultants had estimated the gondola chairlift would attract 159,000 people a year but Mr McKeon said it was not in their interests to have people queueing or turned away.

The company would concentrate on promoting “mid-term and midweek” rides.

Mr Brugman confirmed previous statements made by Mr McKeon that the ride could be evacuated in 7 minutes in the event of bushfire.

“The gondolas will move at 1 metre a second for the 20-minute one-way trip but top speed is 3 metres a second,” he said. Gondolas detach from the cable at the top station and take 2 minutes to move through the station.

Mr McKeon and Mr Brugman answered some tough questions from the audience, many of whom were skeptical of the proposal.

The group Friends of Arthurs Seat appears to be the main opposition.

Consisting mainly of Arthurs Seat residents, the group says Arthurs Seat is “a grand piece of natural history and is at risk of being irreversibly damaged” by being “turned into an industrial and commercial hub”.

Visitors avoid Heronswood after January fire

By Mike Hast VISITORS are staying away from Dromana’s historic property Heronswood and its Diggers Club following the fire that destroyed the property’s thatched roof cafe on 14 January and threatened nearby homes.

Heronswood erected a semi-permanent marquee to replace the cafe and only about 7 per cent of the gardens sustained fire damage, but visitor numbers have plummeted.

But there is a silver lining as it is hoped Heronswood’s annual harvest festival on 15 and 16 March will kickstart visitations.

Diggers Club education manager Talei Kenyon said the lack of visitors had been “incredibly hard for staff morale” and was “having a devastating effect on income at a time of year when everyone on the peninsula hopes to be busy”.

“It is so hard to fathom why this is happening as, apart from losing the building, the rest of the garden looks magnificent and is untouched. At our pop-up cafe with fabulous views of Port Phillip, visitors are able to dine on the pool lawn, which was previously a private part of the garden,” she said.

Police and CFA officers said the fire that started in the bushy median strip between lanes of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway near Latrobe Parade overpass was deliberately lit.

A CFA spokesman said there were at least two ignition points that started the blaze at about 5.45pm, the first day of a four-day heatwave over 41 degrees, the hottest spell for more than

100 years. With a strong southerly wind blowing, the fire quickly jumped the freeway and burnt through bushland, setting alight an area known as Wonga Gully between the freeway and Point Nepean Rd. Heronswood’s cafe with its thatched roof, built in 1996, came under em-

ber attack, caught fire and burnt to the ground despite the efforts of ground crews and a waterbombing helicopter.

Fireys saved the 1870s picturesque neo-Gothic house and its ornamental gardens as well as all homes in the precinct.

A kitchen garden near the cafe was

severely damaged and a 140-year-old Moreton Bay fig tree had 30 per cent of its canopy singed but it protected the house from the fire.

Ms Kenyon said the harvest festival would include free gardening workshops and “tours of the magnificent garden on both Saturday and Sunday

lead by gardening experts”.

“Heronswood House will be open to the public giving a rare opportunity for visitors to see through the historic house, designed by Edward Latrobe Bateman in the mid-1860s and is listed on the register of National Estate.”

The $3 entry to the house will be collected by Friends of Lospalos to support work in East Timor.

Activities for children will include alpacas, chooks, storytelling and face painting.

There will be an heirloom tomatoes taste test; the garden shop; peninsula producers selling wines, olives, sweet treats and herbs; a barbecue at the marquee cafe as well as peninsula wine, beer, coffee and cakes.

Ms Kenyon said the gardens “are wearing their summer best with brightly coloured perennial borders in flower, lush parterre vegetable gardens, espaliered fruit trees, and huge trees providing plenty of shade over expansive lawns”.  Heronswood Harvest Festival, 9am-5pm Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 March, 105 Latrobe Parade, Dromana.

Entry: $10 adults, children free of charge. Details: 5984 7321 or www. diggers.com

Fame waits in the hall for triathlete

By Scott Grimster STEPHEN Foster of Mornington saw himself as an “abstract failure at sport” before having a light bulb moment as he watched television footage of Julie Moss crawling across the finish line at the Hawaiian Ironman in February 1982.

In his first attempt at a triathlon, the 1983 Nautilus Triathlon, he was the first junior home and 15th overall.

That was enough – he was hooked.

Since then he has won trophies around the world and been acknowledged as a world champion.

On 20 March he and Louise Mackinlay will be inducted into Triathlon Australia’s hall of fame alongside Brad Beven (2013); Emma Carney, Jackie Fairweather and Loretta Harrop (2012); and Michellie Jones, Miles Stewart and Greg Welch (2011).

At age 18 Foster competed in the ironman-distance 1984 Triple M Triathlon, coming third behind 1982 world champion Scott Tinley of the United States and one of Australia’s top athletes, Marc Dragan.

After another ironman event and with numerous wins in races across Victoria, Foster finished third in the 1985 Great Lakes International Triathlon behind Grant Boswell, an American athlete who had finished third at Hawaii, and Marc Dragan.

He went on to win at Devonport, which many retrospectively classed as the 1986 Australian championships.

Foster peaked just as the national circuit began to take shape. Although he suffered serious injuries in a

Power to CEO MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire CEO Michael Kennedy has been cleared to accept tenders for the shire’s $1.85 million electricity supply.

Although the amount involved exceeds the amount for which Dr Kennedy can approve contracts, there is not enough time for tenders to be considered by the council.

When being asked to approve the one-off increase in Dr Kennedy’s limit, councillors were told the sevenday acceptance period was due to “the quickly changing nature of the electricity market”.

The existing contracts ended on 31 December and tender recommendations are due on 10 and 17 March.

The shire divides its electricity supplies into three contracts: unmetered street lighting (currently $800,000), large buildings and facilities ($425,000), and small tariff sites ($630,000).

Garden cash splash Man of iron: Stephen Foster has been competing in triathlons since watching the Hawaii Ironman on television in 1983 and is now set to be inducted into Triathlon Australia’s hall of fame.

cycling accident in November 1988 and took a year to return to winning form, he was named triathlete of the year in 1987, 1988 and 1990, won the official Australian championships in 1987, 1988, 1990 and 1991, and claimed the Australian long-course title in 1988 and 1996.

Following his early success, an encouraging win against Scott Tinley at the 1986 Big Apple Triathlon, and a

sprint for second place with Tinley and European champion Rob Barel at the 1987 unofficial World Sprint Triathlon Championships in Perth, Foster began to dream of competing overseas.

He finished third at the unofficial world championships in Kelowna Canada in 1988, and won the famous USTS Chicago Triathlon.

Foster was unable to contest the first official world championships in 1989,

but placed third the following year at Orlando, and fourth in 1992.

In 1993, he won the Embrun ITU World Cup. Foster gradually moved into coaching and age group racing in Victoria, where he continues to frequent the podium.

He runs a semi-professional triathlon team in Mornington called Team Barefoot.

SCHOOLS and community groups in Melbourne’s southeast are being encouraged to apply for one of three $3000 “love every drop” garden grants from South East Water’s education and community program.

In 2014, there are two educational grants and one community group grant to give to organisations that develop innovative ideas to use water in gardens. Applicants are asked to creatively describe how their garden will break new ground for water use.

Funding doubts put women’s lives at risk

By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula social service organisations warn women and children will be put at greater risk of harm unless federal and state governments funding for domestic violence and homelessness support services are secured in the near future.

Mornington Community Information and Support Service manager Lisa Elliott said that with government funding commitments under the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness due to run out at the end of June, it was vital ongoing funding was secured if woman and children were to continue to be protected.

“There’s a lot of fear out there among support service providers that we are facing some hefty cuts, which is going to hit our clients first and foremost, and

they are our most vulnerable members of the community,” she said.

“Rumours have been circulating suggesting figures of 30 per cent in funding cuts, and this is really going to hurt our ability to support the community, particularly women and children who always seem to bear the brunt of funding cuts.

“And it’s not only the cuts to family support services’ budgets that is concerning. There’s also a lot of fear that family payments are being wound back, and in the case of the School Kids Bonus and Education Maintenance Allowance, they’re certain to be axed, so families are going to be doing it tough.”

Ms Elliott’s concerns were echoed during a meeting last week of representatives from peak bodies and service providers that discussed the criti-

cal nature of family violence services in providing accommodation, preventing homelessness and offering essential practical, economic, psychological and legal support to at-risk and vulnerable women.

Among the organisations attending last week’s crisis week were Domestic Violence Victoria, the peak body for Victorian family violence services, Australian Council of Social Service, the Council to Homeless Persons, Aboriginal Family Violence Prevention and Legal Service, WRISC Family Violence Support, and McAuley Community Services.

The chief executives of the organisations called on state and federal governments to guarantee funding for the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness (NPAH).

“Family violence is the main driver

of homelessness in Victoria and the programs funded through NPAH are critical to keeping hundreds of women and children safe, and preventing them from becoming homeless when they leave violent relationships,” Domestic Violence Victoria chief executive Fiona McCormack said.

“The programs address the fact that too often women and their children risk losing their housing, their employment, and their connection to schools and local communities following family violence. In light of recent events in Victoria, it is critical we don’t lose the aspects of our system that are working well.”

ACOSS chief executive Cassandra Goldie urged the state and federal governments not to use the expiration of funding contracts on 30 June to deliver budget savings.

“Whether this is intended or not is unknown,” she said. “However, in the absence of new contracts being put in place, services are understandably concerned. Services and payments to support vulnerable and low income people should not be in the firing line in search of a budget surplus.”

Council to Homeless Persons CEO Jenny Smith warned hundreds of homelessness programs were at risk, among them family violence programs, and thousands of jobs could be axed from a predominantly female workforce.

“Ripping funding from homelessness services will result in more homelessness with women and children sleeping in their cars, in rooming houses and couch hopping,” she said.

“As well as an increase in homelessness, we will also see thousands of workers in this sector lose their jobs.”

Healthy Living Help for feet and knees pain

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.

Further updates and news will be available on www.kidsadventurefest.com.au and on the “Mt Baw Baw Kids Adventure Festival” Facebook page.

OUR feet are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our daily activities, but many people are unaware that: - bad foot posture can continually pull our bodies out of alignment, causing problems in ankles, shins, knees, hips, backs and necks.

- early symptoms for diabetes, arthritis, nerve and circulatory problems often show themselves initially in the feet.

- scientific research clearly demonstrates the direct effect chronic foot pain can have upon both physical and mental health.

- foot and leg problems left untreated almost always get worse - common ailments such as plantar fasciitis, heel, shin, ankle and knee pain are often misdiagnosed and mistreated - common treatments such as cortisone and antiinflammatory medications are proven to delay healing and cause further damage in many cases - contrary to popular belief an experienced sports podiatrist is the most appropriate person to diagnose and help ease foot and leg pain Thanks to the latest medical research and treatments most foot and leg pain and injuries can be treated simply and effectively, without the need for damaging medications or surgery.

The key to healing is correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. An experienced sports podiatrist has the specific knowledge and expertise to assist pain, injuries and degenerative issues concerning the feet and lower limbs.

Dr David Kavanagh is sports podiatrist at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s most experienced sports podiatry practices.

“People often endure painful conditions for too long, they assume nothing can be done or receive inappropriate treatments that may pro-

vide some immediate relief but don’t address the cause, which is vital for successful, long-term healing,” Dr Kavanagh said. “With correct diagnosis and treatment there is a simple, natural solution for most foot and leg pain. We can even assist soft tissue repair and regeneration thanks to the latest medical research and treatments.”

Families set to flock to new estate definitely the best way to go.”

THE newest address in Hastings – Kings Creek – is proving a hit with locals, says Ray White Hastings director Leonie Worrall.

“Most of our buyers are local people who are buying to live in the estate”, Ms Worrall said.

“The Hastings real estate market is very tight, with very few established homes available for sale, so buying land and building a brand new home is

Located on Hodgins Road, Kings Creek takes its name from the waterway that flows through the development and into Western Port Bay. More than four hectares beside Kings Creek has been set aside as a nature reserve, protecting significant vegetation and preserving a habitat for native animals including the endangered southern brown bandicoot.

Kings Creek features a number of

environmental features including energyefficient street lighting, rainwater tanks in all homes, optimum solar orientation for home sites, extensive revegetation with indigenous plants, and an innovative, computer-designed drainage system that reduces pollution reaching the bay from stormwater by more than 90 per cent.

In a first for the Mornington Peninsula, Kings Creek is the only residential estate to offer access to the National Broadband

Network, providing superfast, fibre-based broadband ahead of the rest of the country.

“With the first homes now approaching completion, it is an exciting time for the families who are to become Kings Creek’s first residents”, Ms Worrall said.

Land at Kings Creek, including titled lots ready to build on are priced from $167,100.

For more information, call Leonie Worrall at Ray White Hastings on 1800 546 472 or visit www.kingscreek.com.au

AROUND THE REGION

Portsea sand ‘could come from Fox beach’

By Mike Hast THE state government might pump sand that has migrated to Shelly Beach and Point King back to Portsea Beach, says Nepean Ratepayers Association president Colin Watson.

Mr Watson has weighed in to the debate over billionaire trucking magnate Lindsay Fox being granted an extra 45 metres of prime beach in front of his property worth an estimated $5 million by the state land titles office on Christmas Eve (“Fox in box seat to win”, The News, 25/2/14).

The news generated a wave of public criticism and saw Planning Minister Matthew Guy vow to bring in retrospective laws to stop up to 140 bayside properties being extended onto beaches that have seen sand accumulate.

Mr Watson said it was hard to believe Mr Fox was trying to benefit from the “environmental disaster” of Portsea Beach’s sand being swept east by wave conditions created after the dredging of The Heads and the South Channel by the Port of Melbourne Corporation in 2008 and 2009.

Mr Watson has been lobbying the state’s Department of Environment and Primary Industries to carry out scientific wave monitoring of the ocean swell pounding Portsea’s beach.

“We would like to put Mr Fox on notice that after the latest wave modelling is completed, we are fairly optimistic that a solution to change this wave pattern will be found,” he said.

“There is every chance the authorities will actually pump all the sand

that has migrated from Portsea to Shelly Beach and Point King back to Portsea where it rightly belongs.”

Mr Watson said Mr Fox would be well aware the township of Portsea had been devastated by the change in wave patterns and the subsequent loss of the beach over the past five years.

“The few remaining businesses are struggling financially and the place is a ghost town. The iconic beach was used by locals and, more particularly, thousands of visitors over the summer months but they don’t come anymore.”

Mr Fox, who had a “wonderful reputation as a great corporate citizen”, should be offering all his resources to assist the Nepean Ratepayers Association to lobby the government to conduct wave modelling, come up with a way of diverting the wave pattern, remove the sandbags installed in 2009, and replenish Portsea Beach, Mr Watson said.

A report by consultants Water Technology and a CSIRO review of all reports before and after dredging showed the change in local wave conditions was the likely cause of erosion at Portsea.

“Water Technology noted that the increase in significant wave height corresponds to a 15-20 per cent increase in wave energy, which is proportional to wave height squared,” Mr Watson said.

Last week Mr Fox told radio station 3AW he had not taken anything off anybody and had simply “put a marker on the piece of property that is on our title”.

Sands of time: Point King Beach showing how much sand has washed onto the beach since dredging of The Heads and the South Channel in 2008-09.

He hinted at defending in the High Court the land title office decision and the state government’s plan to legislate to stop bayside properties being extended due to so-called sand accretion.

He said the high tide water mark title was issued in 1872 and reconfirmed by

the owners of the property in 1910.

Last month, The News reported that an obscure state government policy known as the “doctrine of accretion” states any land claimed by a person must be a permanent increase.

Since 2009, when Portsea Beach

started to vanish, recently retired Port of Melbourne CEO Stephen Bradford has consistently said the sand at Portsea would return over time, and that Port Phillip’s beaches were dynamic environments with sand coming and going.

Free access to views that money can buy WHILE debate rages over trucking magnate Lindsay Fox’s right to part of a Portsea beach, owners of other multi-million dollar properties nearby have no option but to tolerate close public scrutiny of their homes.

The Millionaires’ Walk, part of the Sorrento-Portsea Artists Trail that runs along the cliff top from Lentell Ave to Point King Rd, provides unobstructed water views in one direction and the lifestyles of the rich (and possibly famous) in the other.

This part of the trail follows a long-standing easement, although there are gates at both the eastern and western ends of the trail.

It ends at Point King, which overlooks the Fox family compound and forms part of the boundary between Portsea and Sorrento.

Walkers on the trail are treated to views of carefully nurtured lawns and gardens, and glimpses into homes that most can only dream about.

Point King is where in 1802 Acting Lieutenant John King, commander of the Lady Nelson, hoisted the Union Jack and took possession of what was to become Port Phillip.

The signposted artists’ trail also runs along sections of Sorrento and Portsea ocean beaches.

The signs contain an image of a painting of the scene visible from that spot.

The Millionaires’ Walk section includes signs depicting Ray Hodgkinson’s View from Munstead Wood, Sir Arthur Streeton’s Point King, Arthur Boyd’s Laycock’s Jetty and Sir Arthur Streeton’s Sorrento from Point King.

Walk right in: Views along the Millionaires’ Walk section of the Sorrento-Portsea Artists’ Trail include part of Point King Beach, lower left, being added to the Fox family’s compound.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Thieves visit Melbourne home; dry weather to blame for fire breakouts Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 14 March 1914 AN unoccupied furnished house, owned by Mrs Harris of Melbourne, was during the past fortnight visited by thieves, and goods to the amount of £50 have been removed. The police are making inquiries. *** OWING to the continued dry weather, bush fires have been breaking out throughout the Peninsula during the last three or four weeks. On Saturday last a fire started near Sir John Maddens’, on the Mornington road, when a good deal of fencing and crass was destroyed before the fire was checked.

The Frankston fire bell was rung, and a good muster of firemen and volunteers were quickly on the scene, and they did good service in keeping the outbreak in check. Though a hock of sheep were in danger, some of the fighters managed to get all but one to a place of safety. Sir John is highly pleased with the efforts’ of the brigade and fighters. The manager (Mr G. Bloxham) when spoken to subsequently, said he could not speak too highly of the assistance given by the fighters, especially mentioning Messrs Geoff Grice, Broomhead, Walker Bros, and Cousins. Mr Broomhead was one of the first at the fire, after having run three quarters of a mile through ploughed fields, and, to use Mr Bloxham’s own words, “He fought the fire with a vengeance, and it was mainly owing to his splendid work and generalship, with the assistance of those previously mentioned, that the fire was stopped. The brigade and those who arrived later also gave

valuable assistance.”

On Monday evening the fire bell was again rung, the fire being this time on the heights to the left of Oliver’s Hill. The brigade and a good muster of fighters again turned out, and after a most strenuous battle the flames were checked, and the houses which were in danger were pronounced safe. The bell was rung for the third time on Tuesday evening, and the brigade, with the assistance of Mr Millard’s horse drawing the hose and reel, were quickly on the spot, near the scene of the outbreak of the previous night. Fortunately, there was little wind, and a break was burned just at the rear of Mr Plummer’s house and those near him, which proved effective.

A blaze occurred near “Ramslade,” the property of Mr T. Ritchie, on Monday night. A party of fighters went out from Frankston, and, with the assistance of others, the flames were subdued, though not before a considerable amount of damage had been done. *** CONSTABLE McCallum, who has been stationed at Frankston for some time, has received notice of his promotion, though his station is not yet definitely fixed. He left here on Friday, and though his friends are glad to hear of his promotion, he will be missed in many ways. His successor is Constable McCormack, of Meredith. *** MISS Meason, an organiser of the P.L.P will deliver an address on current politics in the Mechanics’ Hall Frankston on Monday evening, March

23. Miss Meason, who has previously spoken in Frankston, is a fluent speaker, and a treat is in store for those who attend on Monday night.

At much cost and trouble, the Vacuum Oil Co. Prop.

Ltd. is urgently despatching petrol and oil supplies to various points of the route for Major Campbell’s requirements.

*** ENTRIES for the Somerville Show close to-day (Saturday, 14th.) Entry forms and schedules can be obtained from the secretary, at Somerville, and at the office of this paper, and at Messrs Brody and Mason’s, Frankston. For the convenience of residents of Frankston the latter firm will receive entries at their office up to 9 o’clock on Saturday (this) evening.

*** A HIGH class concert in connection with the Frankston Methodist Church will be held in the Frankston Mechanics’ hall this (Saturday) evening. First class artists have been selected, and these will be assisted by the Festal Glee party and Orchestra. Doors open at 7 30, and the concert commences at 8 p.m. The prices of admission are 2s and 1s, reserved seats 6d extra. *** READERS are requested to peruse an advertisement on the fourth page of this issue, drawing attention to the merits of the “I.H.C.” spraying outfit. A sample will be on view at the Somervilloe show, and those interested are requested to inspect. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council, Cr Griffeth moved that a committee consisting of one councillor from each riding, be formed, to evolve a scheme to put the Shire in a better position with regards to the Infectious Diseases Hospital, and that a report be submitted at next meeting. Cr Keast seconded, and the motion was carried.

The committee to consist of the President, and Crs Plowman and Griffeth. *** A MOTOR tour throughout Australia of over 4000 is to be undertaken by Major C. W. Campbell, of Amesfield Park, Frankston, on the 23rd inst. Mr P. V. Taylor, of Major Campbell’s staff, is to be at the wheel of the Major’s costly motor car. During the trip, the party will sleep under canvas, and as the journey proposed by the Major has never before been attempted by motorists, many of the

city motorists are eagerly awaiting the smashing of records by Major Cambell. At much cost and trouble the Vacuum Oil Co. Prop. Ltd. is urgently despatching petrol and oil supplies to various points of the route for Major Campbell’s requirements, and the Co.’s American expert states that if Major Campbell succeeds, his record will be of lasting interest to the motor trade and motorists in general.

We have made arrangements to secure Major Campbell’s notes, and possibly our detailed account will be more interesting than that of the Melbourne papers, whose scribes are writing up Major Campbell’s results. *** FROM Melbourne trade journals we note that a company has been registered by Messrs Hogan and Hogan, solicitors of Melbourne, for the purpose of trading as the “Frankston Motor Garage Proprietary, Limited,” and has a capital of £2000, fully paid up. The managing director of the company is Major C. W. Campbell, pastoralist, and the directors are Mr J. B. Jolly, commercial traveller, and Mr Thomas Ritchie, merchant. The above gentlemen are all local residents. The garage, we learn, will cater for the Peninsula trade, and is also certain to command much city business, as the directors are widely known. Mr F. V. Taylor, an expert motorist and mechanic, with a world-wide experience, is to have charge of the workshop, where a costly and up-to-date plant is being installed. We understand that two Ford cars of the latest design and a modern Sunbeam car is already at the command of those desiring to drive a motor.

HISTORY

The Stocktons – Pioneers of Tyabb

By Peter McCullough GEOFF Stockton, now 77, has lived in this area all his life. He has recorded his recollections of growing up in Tyabb and these will be published in this newspaper next week. First, however, it seems appropriate to provide a brief history of the Stockton family, or at least the Tyabb branch. *** Part Four The Stocktons at Tyabb (cont) Alf’s Three Sons Geoff continued on the original orchard until 1957 when he bought his own orchard in Somerville. Initially 12 acres, it grew to 37 acres and was located on the corner of Wellington and Jones Roads.

On 11 October, 1958 the 22 yearold Geoff married Beryl Kinder. They honeymooned in Mildura with Geoff towing a caravan behind his Morris Commercial farm truck. Geoff and Beryl started married life in a derelict house which, ten years later, was replaced by a new home.

Although Geoff was an orchardist, born and bred, he had a strong interest in cattle from the time his grandfather (Fred) gave him a calf in his teenage years. This interest reached a peak in the early 70’s when Geoff leased some of Bluescope’s land and a block in McKirdy’s Road, Tyabb. At this time his “herd” ranged from 50 to 70.Geoff was disappointed when he lost the lease of the Bluescope land, forcing him to sell his stock.

This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as six months later the U.S. put restrictions on the importation of Australian beef; prices plummeted as a result.

On the Bluescope land was a small fruit stall on the Frankston-Flinders Road from which Geoff, Beryl and their two older children sold apples from the Jones Road property each weekend. When this stall had to be vacated because a natural gas pipeline was passing nearby, Geoff approached his uncle, Ken Dennett, about buying or renting the Dennett

family cool store situated closer to Somerville, but still on the FrankstonFlinders Road. The cool store, on ¼ of an acre, was no longer required by the Dennetts so Geoff bought it. At the start apples were sold on weekends, then Fridays were included; eventually the cool store was open seven days a week. Geoff bought vegetables from an Italian family in Frankston and sold his own apples

and pears.

Geoff always had the ambition to retire at 40. Accordingly he sold his Somerville property in 1977 and bought 25 acres on the corner of Graydens Road and Boes Road, Tyabb where he and Beryl built another new house and established the pelargonium nursery, “Georyl.” As part of this quantum shift from orchardist to nurseryman, Geoff sold the cool

store, which he had owned for three years, to his brothers, Joe and Ken, and their wives, Melva and Anne.

To supplement his income from the nursery, Geoff worked on the Unthank orchard and drove a school bus for Ron Benton; an experience which he enjoyed and which extended for 30 years. Geoff would have been the bus driver that his young passengers never forgot!

Pelargoniums had been Beryl’s hobby, but this soon expanded and before long the nursery was growing 70,000 pelargoniums a year. The profits were ploughed back: a delivery truck, 20 igloos and a big hangar-like shed.

Meanwhile back in 1967 Alf (by then 57) had agreed that his two other sons, Joe and Ken, should take over the orchard. Ken had left school at 14,worked for neighbour Charles Hodgins for 4 years, then worked on the construction of the BP refinery at Crib Point for a time. At the age of 19 Ken left with Barry Witherington and his family for New Guinea on the Kiandra, which was built in Hastings

by Leo Newman, Fred Bryant and

others. The party tried crayfishing, then long-lining, both without success. Ken then worked for 12 months as a seismic survey driller for an oil company; by the time he was 21 his big adventure was over and Ken was back on the family orchard. Under the new arrangement with their father, trading as A.E.Stockton and Sons, the boys replanted with new trees and laid irrigation pipes to assist with the watering. Then in 1976 they became shopkeepers as well as orchardists with the purchase from Geoff of what became known as Stockton’s Coolstore. In this year (1976) the two brothers bought another 16 acres which adjoined the block that Alf had bought in 1928. This block contained a house into which Ken and his family moved after living in Fred’s old original homestead.

Joe and Ken had bought the Coolstore largely because the apple industry was changing. The British market had been lost when that country joined the E.E.C. and the northern states were growing more apples and lessening demand for local fruit. New varieties such as Pink Lady were in demand and old favourites such as Jonathan could not be given away. Closer plantings were seen as the way to go. The drought year of 1983 proved to be disastrous; other orchardists put down bores successfully but the ones on “Astley” were too salty. In the late 80’s Joe and Ken dissolved their partnership and thus ended the history of “Astley” as an orchard. Subsequently Geoff grazed cattle on the property, putting up make-shift fences.

Ken and Anne had purchased Joe and Melva’s share of the Coolstore in 1990 and continued trading until they sold the business in September, 2006.

They employed 12-14 permanent and part-time staff and they had a very wide customer base.

After leaving the Coolstore Joe worked for a time at Montague Orchards in Jones Road with Marshall Unthank. In 1992 he started driving a school bus for Ron Benton. Then between 1996 and 2006 Joe worked on Harley Unthank’s orchard, followed by stints with the Seller Brothers, Paganoni’s, and then retiring in 2010 after a period with Greg Bradshaw.

Alf Stockton died in February,

HISTORY

Above: Stocktons Coolstore on Frankston Flinders Road, as seen today.

1994. By the terms of the will of his father (Fred), made in 1956, “Astley” was bequeathed to Geoff. Fred had done this as Alf had had a nervous breakdown and Fred was concerned that he might sell the property to clear his debts. Therefore he saw no other way than to leave “Astley” to his wife, Clara, for her lifetime, then to his son, Alf, for his lifetime, and then to Geoff absolute, as his desire was for the property to remain in the Stockton name. Should Geoff not wish to continue with “Astley”, then it was to go to one of his brothers.

The proviso was that whichever brother took over the property had to pay the other two a sum of one thousand pounds each. Fred obviously had no appreciation of how land values would rise in the area.

The brothers sat down to work out a fair solution and the result was that Ken kept the 16 acres that he and Joe bought in1976, Joe was to have his father’s 16 acres, and Geoff would have the 25 acres that had belonged to his grandfather (Fred), compensating his brothers for the extra acreage. And so a fourth generation had possession of the Stockton land.

Geoff (by now 59) and Beryl (55) started clearing the 25 acres and preparing the site for a new home.

In 1996, with some reluctance, they moved from #63 Graydens Road to #28, leaving the nursery with their younger son, Darryl.

Geoff and Beryl felt that Fred’s house, by now derelict, should be preserved in some way so 7,000 bricks from this building were used in paving around the new home.

For the next 16 years Geoff and Beryl enjoyed living on their 25 acres: Geoff running a few cattle and bird watching on his lake; Beryl tending to her garden which naturally included pelargoniums. Eventually caring for a property of this size became too much and this, plus a few health issues, brought on a period of soul-searching which led to the sale of their property and a move into the Hastings Cove Retirement Village.

So after well over 100 years a portion of the holding in Graydens Road is no longer in the ownership of a Stockton. “Astley” has passed to Mark Slocombe, the descendant of another old district family. However Joe and Melva still occupy the 16 acres bought by Alf in 1928 and live in the house built by Alf in the ‘30’s.

Next door Ken and Anne occupy the 16 acres bought by Ken and Joe in

PAGE 52

1976, and occupy the house that was on the land when it was purchased. *** To conclude, it would seem appropriate to provide a few comments on the Stockton brothers as citizens of the local community: GEOFF. From the age of 15 Geoff rode his bike to the cricket ground each Saturday in the hope of getting a game. Tyabb only fielded one team in those days and in the early1960’s Geoff became President. He realized the need for junior teams and by the 1970’s the club had 7 teams: 5 seniors and 2 juniors. These were “golden years” for the club and in1973-74 both the first and second teams won the premiership. The number of teams created a problem which was resolved when the Shire bought a property on the north side of Tyabb; this became known as Bungunyan Reserve.

Geoff was never a great cricketer but it is believed that he and Ken Davidson still hold the record for the last wicket (96) when playing against Mt. Eliza in 1965.

After 10 years as President Geoff resigned and was awarded a Life Membership of the club. He had another project on which he wished to focus: the re-formation of the Tyabb Football Club. The club had gone into recess in 1952. Geoff persuaded the Council to build a pavilion at the Bungunyan Reserve and, with the help of a committee, the club had a seconds and junior teams playing in 1977. The following year the League permitted Tyabb to field a senior team. As well as President, Geoff was Team Manager, and by 1986 the under 14’s had won a premiership. In 2000 both the first and second teams won premierships in the Nepean Football League. Geoff was awarded another, richly deserved, Life Membership.

His association with both cricket and football resulted in membership of the Grounds Committee of the Tyabb North Oval and he was President of the Tyabb North Building Committee.

Even now Saturdays are “committed” for Geoff and Beryl; they watch Tyabb play football in the winter and Tyabb play cricket in the summer.

Involvement in the cricket and football clubs notwithstanding, Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Hastings has been the centre of Geoff’s attention since he was asked to form a boys’ club at the age of 18. He has been on the Vestry for 15 years,

Western Port News 11 March 2014

the Building Committee (5 years), has filled the role of Warden, and is invariably Chairman of the Fete Committee. He is Vice-President of the Mission to Seafarers at Hastings and is still involved when the ships come into Western Port.

When Geoff’s eldest son, Wayne, was at Tyabb State School Geoff became involved in the School Council, and this included 4 years as President.

As with the school, Wayne’s involvement led to years on the Tyabb Scouts Committee, including a stint as President. Geoff was also on the Tyabb Youth Club Committee for 3 years.

While the pelargonium nursery flourished, Geoff and Beryl became actively involved in the Pelargonium and Geranium Society of Southern Victoria, serving on the committee for 25 years. For 15 years Geoff was President. He was a member of the Royal Horticultural Society and has been much in demand as a speaker at the Royal Horticultural Society Summer School at the University of Melbourne, and the Spring Schools at the Mt. Buffalo Chalet. Geoff featured n the media programmes of Burke’s

Backyard (in which Don Burke publicized the release of the pelargonium Tyabb Princess), Kevin Heinze (three times), and Jane Edmanson (twice). Geoff and Beryl wrote a book on pelargoniums in 1996 and are joint holders of the John Pascoe Fawkner silver medal for services to horticulture. Geoff and Beryl’s pelargoniums won many blue ribbons over the years including one general gardening show where they beat every garden flower in the show including orchids. Life Memberships of both the Melbourne and Frankston Pelargonium Societies have been awarded to Geoff. He produced and presented the gardening show every Wednesday on 3RPP Community Radio for 22 years.

Beryl is a very active member of the Hastings Western Port Historical Society and the last part of this Stockton family history is drawn largely from her manuscripts. She and Geoff were awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by Mornington Peninsula Libraries and Beryl for her contribution to the Historical Society.

Geoff and Beryl were married at Holy Trinity in Hastings on 11 October, 1958 and had three children: Wayne (now 53) is Sales Manager for Boomooroo Nurseries, Veanne (51) is a Special Education teacher at Nepean Special School, and Darryl (47)took over the Pelargonium Nursery for a few years after Geoff and Beryl retired but is now a nurseryman in South Australia. Geoff and Beryl have 9 grandchildren and one great grandchild.

JOE. Whilst Geoff played some cricket for Tyabb, Joe was the real sportsman of the family, excelling at both football and cricket. He played 160 senior games for the Hastings Football Club, mainly during the 1960’s and early 1970’s. According to HFC historian, Vic Jeremiah, “he was a talented footballer who played as a wingman and was a prominent

member of the HFC 1972 premiership team.”He was recently named as a wingman in the HFC “Team of the Decade” for the period 1960-1970.

At cricket Joe was a fast bowler who started with the juniors in Hastings at the age of 11. As a junior he represented the Peninsula. By the time he was 17 Joe was the opening bowler for the senior team of which he was a member for many years.

His best figures were 8/24 in a match against Pearcedale and he was a member of the 1st eleven premiership team in 1976-77. In later years he captained the seconds, and then the thirds, eventually retiring at the age of 48. Under his captaincy the 2nd eleven won a premiership in 1975-76 and the 3rd eleven were premiers in 1985-86. Joe was on the committee for 32 years which included a stint as President (1971-73) and he is a Life Member of Hastings Cricket Club.

Because of his involvement with both sports he was an obvious choice to be a committee member of the Hastings Social Club.

Apart from his sport, Joe was an active member of the Teens Club at Holy Trinity and is now a member of the Hastings Western Port Historical Society.

Joe Stockton married Mornington girl Melva Bell at Holy Trinity on 7 February, 1970 and they had 4 children: Jackie (now 40) works at Bunnings in Mornington, Grant (38) is a school caretaker in Queensland, Dean (35) works in pool maintenance, and Brett (33) is a carpenter with Southern Decking. There are 7 grandchildren.

KEN.Like Joe and Geoff, Ken was a member of the Teens Club at Holy Trinity. He was a junior member of the Hastings Pedal Club and also the Hastings Yacht Club where for a time he had his own yacht. Later Ken was a Director of the Tyabb Cool Store for about 9 years prior to its closing. For

Ken Stockton married local Girl Anne Fairley at Holy Trinity on 31 may, 1969. Anne played

netball for Hastings for many years and for a time filled the role of Cub Mistress at Hastings.

Ken and Anne had 3 children: Rachel (now 43) is a business banker, Emma (41) an accountant , and Rebecca (38) is an aged health care worker.

There are 4 grandchildren.

To be continued next week...

THE ORIGINS OF “ASTLEY” “ASTLEY” was originally part of the large pastoral run of Martha Jane King which included Tyabb and Old Tyabb (Hastings).On 27 October, 1875 Thomas Williams, who was living on half an acre at Moorooduc, applied for a grant of Lot 84, which consisted of a little over 130 acres on Bittern Road (now Graydens Road) and extending from Warringate (Boes Road) to Watts Road. The grant was recommended on 16 December, 1875 and Thomas Williams had to pay a rent of 6 pounds and 11 shillings half yearly. To enable him to purchase the property he had to show improvements. In his first year only ¾ of an acre was cleared but by the third year a further 12 acres had been cleared. Crops of oats, peas, wheat and potatoes were planted, fences were erected, and a 4 room building with paling walls, thatch roof and daub chimney was built for the cost of 40 pounds. Three dams were added to the property. All indications

are that it was the “Astley” portion of the 130 acres which was cleared and the improvements took place. On 16 September, 1885 the final issue of grant was approved and, because of the rent already paid, only eight pounds two shillings and six pence was still to be paid.

By 1890 Thomas Williams had subdivided his holding, most of it into 16 acre lots. On 8 October, 1890 Edgar Charles Bell and Leonard Richard Lloyd had purchased two of the blocks and on 19 December, 1890 Henry Hugh Gough Whitlam also purchased a block.

On 22 December, 1891 caveats were placed over blocks purchased by Bell and Lloyd and these remained until 21 June, 1892 when the new owner was revealed: Alice Leck (nee Stockton), a widow from Wedderburn. By 1904 the “Whitlam” block had been added to the other two, making a total of 48 acres.

Left: The maps shows the location of Thomas William’s grant of 130 acres, later subdivided into 16 acre lots, two of which were purchased by Alice Leck.

Monumental as anything

By Stuart McCullough WHEN news broke that a giant, threestorey mango had gone missing, I’ll admit I feared the worst. Not since someone blew the backside off the Giant Pheasant outside Gumbuya Park had our nation faced so dark a day.

Presumably when something of this magnitude occurs, the authorities activate some top-secret emergency plan and other national icons are immediately placed into high-security lockdown.

For its own safety, Lang Lang’s Giant Earthworm would be cordoned off from the public. South Australia’s The Big Lobster would be ushered into its own underground reinforced concrete bunker. Adaminaby’s Big Trout would be placed into the witness protection program and forced to change its name to ‘Dennis’.

Not that everything needs such high level security. Such measures are largely unnecessary for Tasmania’s The Big Potato. Nobody’s going to steal that thing. Nobody.

When a humungous piece of fruit goes missing, it’s natural to speculate whether it’s the first part of a broader campaign of terror. My fear was that we were obviously dealing with some kind of evil genius super-villain hellbent on making a gigantic fruit salad and that the Big Pineapple and Big Banana might be next.

But who would do such a thing? It’s obvious. I don’t want to point the finger but, personally, I’d be on the lookout for a mutant forty-foot Wiggle.

He shouldn’t be hard to spot. Granted, he’ll probably be wearing a black skivvy rather than the customary red, yellow, blue or purple, but it’s difficult to hide your getaway vehicle when it’s a Big Red Car, no matter how hard you try. A fruit salad may well be ‘yummy, yummy’, but there’s just no excuse for this kind of anarchic malarkey.

For a few anxious days, there was little to do other than wait for the ransom demands. They never arrived.

Turns out, it was merely a publicity stunt. What, precisely, they were seeking to publicise remains a mystery. Which, when it comes to publicity stunts, suggests failure on an epic scale.

If these people want to perform a

stunt, next time they should try jumping a motorcycle over thirty burning busses whilst blindfolded and, for all our sakes, leave the oversized fruit alone.

On the plus side, I guess this means The Wiggles are now free to go.

But whilst pretending to abduct a giant mango might sound like a bit of harmless fun, it speaks to a diminished respect for our national treasures. Suffice to say, for someone to load America’s Lincoln Memorial onto the back of a ute for a bit of laugh would be utterly unthinkable. Sadly, the Western Port region has not been immune to this tidal wave of disrespect.

On Frankston Flinders Rd in Somerville stands a fibreglass Tyrannosaurus

Rex. Well, not ‘on the road’ as such – that would startle the drivers and hamper the flow of traffic. But right alongside it.

Some may question why there’s a four-and-a-half metre dinosaur by the side of the road. To those who ask ‘why?’ I can only say that when you’re a T-rex, you don’t need to explain yourself to anyone. You stand wherever you want.

But, clearly, somebody has a problem with it. Sadly, it appears that someone has it in for our prehistoric friend and has gone and knocked it over for the second time in a fortnight.

How senseless. How puerile. How dumb. No wonder the poor things are extinct. Forget comets or the sudden on-set of the Ice Age; the world’s prehistoric creatures were wiped out by idiots who decided to tip them over for a joke.

Or perhaps there’s a more sinister motivation at work? Maybe the perpetrator was forced to sit through multiple screenings of Jurassic Park as a youngster and, as a result, has been trained to loathe dinosaurs and everything they stand for. They have then devoted their lives to plotting against dinosaurs in some kind of ‘Jurassic jihad’. Or maybe Dorothy the Dinosaur was jealous. Or, then again, perhaps trying to ascribe a motive to something so stupid is simply futile.

When something like this happens, the authorities fear the obvious: reprisal attacks.

If I were a T-rex, even a replica one, I wouldn’t take that kind of nonsense ly-

ing down. Granted, I’d be lying down for a while, but only because some fool pushed me over and it’s hard to right yourself when you’re made of steel and fibreglass. But wouldn’t it be glorious? The culprit will be sitting at home when there’s a polite but insistent knock. He opens the front door to find a four and half metre T-rex standing out the front with a baseball bat.

Maybe he’s brought a few buddies along with him. Two paces behind the dinosaur, Goulburn’s The Big Merino stands menacingly with a pair of numchucks whilst beside him, Ballina’s The Big Prawn is nursing a piece of timber with some nails sticking out.

Suddenly, picking on a fibreglass dinosaur doesn’t seem so funny.

If only. In real life, things don’t always turn out quite so neatly. These objects can’t defend themselves, so it’s up to the rest of us. These monuments shouldn’t be abducted, blown up or pushed over. They ought to be cherished.

I, for one, love that there are people among us who are willing to take a chance and build these objects. They don’t always make a lot of sense but that’s precisely what’s so great about them.

Big objects help bring a little wonder and surprise into our lives and, if for no other reason, they deserve our love and respect.

So if it’s been a while between dinosaurs, maybe it’s time for you to head over to Somerville and pay your respects. I’ll see you there. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Dogs maul Kangas in semi PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON beat Langwarrin and advanced to the MPCA Provincial grand final on Saturday.

The Doggies cruised to victory on the opening day of the two-day semifinal.

Langwarrin failed to offer any resistance when the teams first met before Christmas and history repeated itself on the weekend.

The only thing the Kangas did right was winning the toss.

They elected to bat but lost their

first wicket before the score had reached 20.

Simon McEvoy (10) was the first man to go and David Ross, who hit two sixes in his innings, lost his wicket for just 17.

Luke Popov was superb for the Dogs, snaring three wickets, including the two openers.

He only bowled 9.1 overs, the most of any Mornington bowler during the innings.

Langwarrin lasted just 44.1 overs and was dismissed for 117.

Skipper Mark Cooper, who was recruited as an opening batsman, batted

at six once again and top-scored with 23.

Mornington teenager Jack Heseltine picked up 3/34, including the crucial wickets of Andy Johnson and Danny Weare who were both dismissed for 17 runs.

Luke Harper was also very effective with the ball, snaring 2/20 from eight overs.

Mornington batted the final 31 overs of the day and eased its way to victory.

Ben Clements is a star and he proved it again on the weekend, belting 11 fours and two sixes on his way

to an unbeaten 73 after the first day.

The Doggies concluded on Saturday at 1/126.

In the other semi-final, Sorrento is in a wonderful position after the first day of the semi-final against Long Island.

While the Sharks got touched up by the Islanders in the final home and away game of the season, they weren’t about to fall into the same trap in the semi.

Sorrento won the toss and elected to bat, the old dynamic duo of Jedd Falck and Nick Jewell coming to the crease.

They got their team away to a flyer, scoring 70 for the opening stand, Falck making 51 and Jewell 36.

Liam O’Connor made 29 batting at three and Leigh Poholke whacked 83 to set the Sharks up.

With 22 from Anthony Blackwell and 26 from Mark Dunball, the home side managed to score 281 after batting for 79.3 overs.

Scott Phillips bowled 25.3 overs for the Islanders, finishing with 4/99.

Andrew Tweddle snared 3/48 and Fergus O’Connor chimed in for 2/25 from nine overs, including the wickets of Falck and O’Connor.

Pines blitz Main Ridge bats to book grand final berth DISTRICT

By IT Gully PINES tailenders Nick Wilcox and Pat Jackson put on 58 for the 10th wicket on Saturday to place the Piners in a strong position against Main Ridge after the first day.

In the other MPCA District semifinal between Delacombe Park and Somerville, things were truly in the balance after the first day of play.

Pines won the toss and batted first on Saturday and, thanks to Wilcox and Jackson, was able to see out its 80 overs with the bat.

A score of 9/283 looked enough after the first day for the Piners, especially with the experience of Ricky Ramsdale, Brett Remy and Brett Hudgson leading the attack.

Nick Wilcox was superb with the bat for the Piners, showing class and commitment to help himself to an unbeaten 75. Jackson finished with 26no.

Earlier in the day, the middle order failed for the Piners, Jeremy Weare (3) and Harley Peace-Stirling (4) having little impact on the scoreboard.

However, they were able to get some contributions from Jake Prosser (20), Ramsdale (47), Remy (39) and Rhys Chalkley (24).

Gareth Wyatt was the key to the Main Ridge bowling attack, picking

up 5/91 from 23 overs, while Brad Rossborough showed the class act he is with 2/45 from 21 overs. Scott Millar toiled for 25 overs and finished with 1/116.

Delacombe Park batted first after winning the toss on Saturday but didn’t dominate the opposition bowling as the team has done throughout the season.

The home team started well, Jon Guthrie and Nick Christides putting on an opening stand of 51. Christides made 43 of them before falling victim to Justin Allsop.

Allsop claimed three wickets, while Aaron Kaddadz and Jack Kennedy were also among the wickets with three and two scalps respectively.

Chris Brittain continued his outstanding season in the final with 53 while Joel Malcolm made 30.

Ben Brittain (22) and Shane Deal (21) offered some resistance at the end and were able to push the score beyond 200.

Chasing 210 is never an easy task in a final and Somerville was left with that challenge on Sunday.

Stop press: On Sunday, Pines bowlers dismissed Main Ridge for a lowly 85 runs with Brett Remy taking 4/11 off 14 overs, Nick Wilcox 2/28 off 17, Pat Jackson 1/4 off 6, Ricky Ramsdale 1/4 off 6, Brett Hudgson 1/25 off 3 and Jeremy Weare 1/4 off a single over.

Buds’ reverse outright against YCW to reach final after thrilling finish SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully FRANKSTON YCW was just 45 runs away from victory against Rosebud at the close of play on the first of two days of the Sub-district semi-final.

In the other semi, Red Hill had set Balnarring a massive task of scoring 323 to win the match and advance to the grand final.

The Stonecats produced some wonderful bowling to push the Buds onto the back foot in the match at picturesque Olympic Park in Rosebud.

No Rosebud batsman was allowed to get going and it took a 25 from Jason Nagel at the bottom of the order to get the score beyond 100.

At one stage the Buds were 6/61 with Greg McCann, Matty Maher, Brad Glenn and Darren Kerr all back in the sheds.

Andrew Kitson opened the bowling for the Stonecats with 3/35 while Adam Muirhead was on fire, snaring 5/59 to give him 29 wickets for the season.

Paul Bradley also chimed in, taking 1/12 from five overs.

Red Hill skipper Simon Dart stepped up to the plate and produced one of his finest innings with an unbeaten 135 on Saturday.

When he came to the crease, his side was in early trouble at 2/1.

Dart had plenty of support throughout his innings with Rheede Hopgood scoring 40, Riley Shaw getting 29 and the elder statesman of the team, Andrew Brown, hitting 64.

Lincoln Toy was also great at the end with a quickfire 29.

Even without Glenn Collett, the Red Hill score of 322 was always going to be tough to track down.

Stop press: In a game that will be remembered for years, Rosebud defeated Frankston YCW via a reverse outright on Sunday. Details next issue.

Yabbies and Bulls are hurting as players leave in droves

By Toe Punt AS we approach the beginning of the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League season, the player movements have hotted up again in the past fortnight.

It appeared as though most clubs had finished recruiting by Christmas but there is plenty of movement once again as teams gear up to begin practice matches.

There are two clubs that have been hit hardest – Tyabb in Nepean League and Karingal in Peninsula League.

Tyabb is hurting. The Yabbies have been on struggle street since last season and things have only got worse.

They have already lost Matty Dimkos, Ash Fenech and David Sherlock to Langwarrin, while Rowan and Tim McGrath applied for clearances through the week.

Chris Venn is already gone and, to

add insult to injury, Ash Waterstone applied for a clearance to Dromana during the week.

In Peninsula League, Karingal continues to lose a heap of players.

In the past couple of months the club has waved goodbye to Anthony Joel (to Rye), Brendan Dunne (Hastings), Chris Hay (Alberton), David Hirst, Tim Hirst and Callan Dixon (Somerville), Jared Eames and Robby Clements (both to Red Hill), Sam McGarry has changed leagues and Stephen Charalambous has joined Brendan Dunne at Hastings.

Also coming through last week was an application for big man Dan Noble to join Dunne at the Blues.

Jack Johnson, who played 18 games for the Bulls last season, has applied for a clearance to Crib Point.

Johnson joins other Magpie recruits Brad Arnold and Dean Warry.

In other Peninsula League news,

Bonbeach star Ricky Ferraro is heading back to the VFL and Brendan Meagher, who sought a clearance to Frankston YCW, has applied for another one to go back to the Pilbara in WA. In Nepean, Frankston Bombers has secured talented teenager Corey Micari, who booted more than 50 goals for YCW in the Under-18s last season.

However, the Bombers lose big names including Luke Lewis, Anthony Fulton, Haydn Moore, the Lonie brothers, Brian O’Carroll and Shane Vandervalk.

Thirds down Tigers to reach final HASTINGS CC

By Greg Bradshaw HASTINGS Thirds and Fourths sides played in semi-finals on the weekend, with the Thirds defeating Seaford Tigers to seal a place in the grand final.

Seaford Tigers smashed the Thirds two weeks earlier, so the side knew it would be a greater test in a final.

Tigers won the toss and sent Hastings in to bat. Scott Williams and Lachie Trench opened, giving the team the perfect start with a 60-run partnership in 27 overs. Both fell in the space of four balls and Hastings was 2/63. Stevie Robb came to wicket to lift the run rate and hit a quick 24 before being bowled and Craig McNamara was dismissed for 1, Hastings stumbling to 4/97 after 35 overs.

This bought captain Jason Slocombe and Aaron Gregory together and they ground out a match-winning 93-run partnership off 28 overs before Gregory was out for a patient 28.

Slocombe continued on, reaching 64 before being caught going for quick runs with 8 overs to go.

Greg Bradshaw (18) and Justin Norton (18no) kept the score

ticking over as Hastings finished on 9/243 off its 75 overs to end the day.

Sunday was much warmer in the field but everyone knew their role and the bowlers kept a good line and length.

McNamara opened with Steve Thomson and the first wicket fell at 5 thanks to a good catch by Robb. Thomson broke down in his third over and had to leave the field, with Robb then introduced into the attack. He would go on to bowl 21.2 overs straight in support of McNamara. With both bowlers beating the bat consistently every over, McNamara finally had success as he claimed the first of five wickets to fall, finishing with 5/39 off 18 tidy overs.

The Tigers had slumped to 5/48 after 30 overs and realistically had little chance of winning the game. Robb’s luck changed when he took two wickets just on the tea interval to have the Tigers reeling at 7/83.

After tea the tail dug in, surviving another nine overs before Robb cleaned them up finishing with 4/37. Luke Gibbons held the other end up, taking 1/15 off 7 overs.

The Fourths played Ballam Park in the C2 semi-final.

Ballam Park won the toss and batted first, getting away to a flyer reaching 74 before Kayne Lewis took the first of his three wickets. Lewis cleaned bowled the three batsmen as Ballam fell to 3/89 by the 20-over mark.

Lewis finished with 3/46 off 10 overs. His dad Stephen finished with 0/41 off 10 overs but had three catches put down.

Matt Sawosz and Andrew Finn bowled the final 20 overs and conceded 96 runs as they restricted Ballam Park to a very gettable 9/189. Sawosz’s leggies hit the spot and he took 5/58 off 10 overs while Finn took 1/38 off 10 overs.

Throughout the last part of the season the top order had struggled to make a real impact, and unfortunately the same happened in the semi as Hastings fell to 3/25 after only 9 overs.

Pat Foy ground out 27 then three wickets fell in quick succession and it was 7/72 and pretty much game over. Chris Marsh and Sawosz had a crack, hitting a quick, 45-run partnership before Sawosz was out for 20. Marsh was last out for 33 with the score at 140 as the side fell 50 runs short of the target.

Junior presentation night is this Friday at 5.30pm.

Tyabb under-14s dedicate flag win to Luke Batty TYABB Cricket Club’s Under-14 team has won the premiership in its District division and dedicated the win to Luke Batty.

The club’s junior coordinator Ron Dyall said the club had experienced a “tough few weeks since the tragic passing of Luke”.

“After winning the flag, the Under-14 captain Jack Whitehouse dedicated the win to Luke in a moving acceptance speech,” he said.
