2018 TYABB AIR SHOW

War & Peace THE 2018 Tyabb Air Show has been branded “War & Peace” as it accurately represents the aircraft collection based at Tyabb Airport that will form the core of the air show on 11 March.

Warbirds from WW I to current day ADF aircraft as well as historic and rare civil aircraft to thrill and remind us all of how flying was will be there for you to see and hear.

Some of these are planes are very rare, some so rare they are the only operating examples in the world.

They are not museum pieces, they fly. So come along on 11 March and hear the sound of Rolls Royce Merlins, the roar of heavy radial engines, see the smoke, aerobatics and excitement as these planes perform for you.

You will see the world’s youngest WWII era Mustang fighter, the Melbourne built A68-199 which is described elsewhere on this page. Of around 3,000 built, the world’s only airworthy Lockheed Hudson bomber will also be operating.

The Tiger Moth behind the Spitfire in this photo (below) is one of several that will be flying on Sunday. They represent some of the “Peace” aircraft. Tiger Moths were used as the primary military trainer for the Australian military during WWII but became the principal civil training aircraft in the immediate post war period.

However it is the high powered military machines that draw much of the expected large crowd, machines like the Grumman Avenger (right).

The Avenger was designed for aircraft carrier use and was the heaviest single engine warplane of WWII. It saw action mainly in the Pacific. The Avenger could carry a torpedo and operated with a crew of 3. It is powered by a 1900 hp 14 cylinder Wright engine and is owned and operated by Paul Bennet Airshows. Paul Bennet, an Australian aerobatics champion, will be performing some amazing manoeuvres in his Wolf Pitts Pro special alongside the Sky Aces.

Chris Sperou, a 13 times Australian aerobatic champion, will also be performing in his “Super Stinker” Pitts Special (above).

Gates open 8.30am and there is plenty to see and do before the flying display commences.

There are ground displays of vintage aircraft, and visiting aircraft arrivals. Re-enactment camps of WWII and Vietnam war era, flight simulator, commercial displays, a tiny two seat flying boat that was flown solo around the world, meet the

Australian built Mustangs AUSTRALIA was the only country to build the legendary Mustang fighter outside the USA. 200 were built by Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation at Fishermans Bend Melbourne.

Last December the two Tyabb based WWII era Mustang Fighters flew in formation for the first time.

The silver Mustang A68-199 was delivered to the RAAF in July 1951, long after the USA had finished production of this classic fighter. It is the world’s youngest Mustang but had not been operational since 1979.

The dark mustang, painted in RAAF 3 Sqn livery, has been based at Tyabb for many years and is operated by well known aviatrix Judy Pay. A68-199 was to be exported to the UK in 1979 but was confiscated

by Australian Customs when it was discovered in a container that also

contained a Messerschmitt Bf109 that had been disguised as a Mustang and which carried falsified export papers.

The Messerschmitt now resides in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra and Customs released the Mustang in 1988. It was displayed at Fighter World Williamtown and then RAAF Point Cook Museum.

Peninsula Aero Club member Graham Hosking acquired the aircraft and subsequently fellow member Peter Gill purchased and restored it to flying condition. It first flew after almost 40 years in December 2016.

It could be your only chance to see this classic plane fly as it is now for sale on the worldwide warbird market, unless you have around $2,000,000 spare lying around the house and would like to ensure it remains flying in Australia.

pilot. Additionally there will be 150 classic and exotic cars and stationary engines operated by a group of enthusiasts, as well as refreshments and aviation memorabilia for sale. So be early.

A record crowd attended last year’s show so it is strongly recommended you visit www. tyabbairshow.com and purchase

tickets on line to speed entry and avoid queues.

Gates open 8.30am, official Air Show opens at 11:00am and show closes at 4pm. See video at goo.gl/ W7WR9u. This is a family-friendly alcohol-free event. No animals (except service dogs). Bring a blanket or camp chair for your air show viewing comfort.

Patient relief: Doctors and patients are relieved the longstanding Balnarring Medical Centre “saga” is almost over. Picture: Yanni

Doctors cleared for clinic move Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au BALNARRING residents appear to have won their “battle” to keep their village’s medical practice after fears they would lose doctors unwilling to move into new premises on the same site.

Balnarring Medical Centre has operated in the village for more than 30 years, and from the building at the corner of Frankston-Flinders Road and Russell Street since 1998. This building will be demolished to make way for the new development – possibly including a larger medical clinic

– when the doctors’ lease expires in early 2019.

Doctors say they and the developer were at loggerheads over lease terms, proposed longer opening hours, and much higher rents in the new building.

Other contentious issues were a lack of parking for patients with mobility issues and less room for ambulances.

Practice manager Dr Janelle Johnson said doctors felt ill at ease from the start of negotiations. “The [developer’s] attitude was that it would be our privilege to move in there,” she said. “But we felt our practice was not right for that site.”

Resident feared the doctors would

move from the area, taking “the personal touch” with them to be replaced by an impersonal “super clinic” in the new development.

“We were concerned it would be the kind of place where we would be required to take a number and wait to be called – like a delicatessen,” resident and Somers women’s Probus club member Cristine James said.

“Our members were horrified about the potential closure of the practice where longstanding doctors know our names and backgrounds. It was always the first item on our agenda each meeting. About 80 per cent of Probus members go there.”

Cr David Gill said the “whole thing really worried people” here. “Everyone wanted the medical centre to stay.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council last week approved plans for car parking and road access to the doctors’ proposed new premises – an old house on Balnarring Road – paving the way for their relocation. However, their move may still be the subject of an appeal to VCAT. The council’s backing follows receipt of a residents’ petition with 2000 signatures and letters from more than 100 others backing the doctors.

The medical centre received copies of 70-plus letters but staff say they have

heard of many more.

Practice owner Dr Sarah Romilly said the council’s approval of their move to new premises was a “weight off our shoulders”.

“This has been an ongoing saga for the past couple of years,” she said.

“We wanted to keep the personal touch and to keep our same services and ease of accessibility to our patients, many of whom have mobility issues.”

Dr Johnson said the practice would likely take over its new premises in 12 months. Asked what would happen if the move was knocked back she said: “We would probably close.”

Case builds against Rosebud’s 50m pool Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is being accused of ignoring the business case for an alternative “more sensible” 25-metre pool at Rosebud.

Retired businessman Colin Watson says building a 50-metre pool will be a waste of shire money while Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ Association secretary Dr Alan Nelsen sees a larger pool as being “over the top”.

Shoreham Community Association says money being earmarked for the larger pool are jeopardising its entire 2018-19 budget submissions.

Mr Watson, a Portsea resident, said the business case supporting a 25-metre pool by consultants GHD Pty Ltd “could not be clearer that a 50-metre pool would be a substantial over-investment and a waste of precious capital resources and become a recurrent financial burden for many generations to come”.

Mr Watson backs Rosebud as the site for a new pool, but not one so big.

Dr Nelsen agrees, saying a 10-lane, 50-metre pool is over the top: “You do not need to be a rocket scientist to work out that Rosebud does not need a pool of that size.

“Over the past decade the council has spent about $10 million on consultants’ reports, shire overheads, and

buying the now-dud Rosebud central shopping centre site for the pool, and still no progress.

“Three months after asking the community to have its say the council [has] decided to hold another survey and repeat the same question: a 25-metre pool or a massive 10-lane, 50-metre pool?

“However, in this instance all that will be measured is how organised and successful the pro-50 metre pool lobby group is at getting people to respond, compared to those who simply don’t bother. It will not be a true or valid measure of the community’s opinion.”

Shoreham Community Association president Alan Fisher said his group’s 2018-19 submissions – and many other submissions from Red Hill Ward – were being pushed aside because the larger pool was “taking all available shire funds”.

“We wish to make a very strong protest of this blatant disregard of our part of the shire,” Mr Fisher stated in a letter to council.

“If modest funding requests … are being disregarded [for] a 50 metre indoor pool at Rosebud which will have no value to the majority of ratepayers in Shoreham and the wider Red Hill Ward, then … we provide a strong vote of disapproval of the pool project which we believe should be paired back to a 25-metre pool.”

Dr Nelson said a larger pool would be

the same size as that built for the Commonwealth Games at Albert Park and Frankston Council’s Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre. “This is despite the council insisting for 15 years that a 25-metre pool is adequate, a number of independent consultants’ reports and the business case, prepared last November by one of Australia’s largest consulting firms and saying that spending the extra $7.62 million for a 10 lane, 50-metre pool, is a waste of money.”

Mr Watson said the larger pool would need a catchment area of at least 100,000 residents to justify it while Rosebud’s target catchment was 57,000.

He said the larger pool cost $7.62 million more to build, straining the shire’s debt servicing liability an extra $100,000 operating subsidy.

“If you undertook a public survey that put up a range of options for community infrastructure projects to cost $7.62 million, I guarantee that the increased size pool at Rosebud would be way down the pecking order,” Mr Watson said.

“It is unethical and against the government’s Competitive Neutrality Policy to incorporate ‘nice to have’ nonessential extras and to subsidise the entry cost using council rates, thereby luring consumers away from, and affecting the viability of, existing local pool and fitness businesses.”

All aboard for lunch THE Longest Lunch on the Bay will take to the high seas on Friday 16 March, with former Masterchef contestant Eliza Wilson (above) plating up a menu on the Sorrento to Queenscliff ferry.

The event is part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival and Wilson says items on her menu will involve a range of produce available on the Mornington Peninsula.

“Over the past couple months me

and the head chef on the ferry have been going and sourcing local producers from across the peninsula, we really wanted to highlight the incredible produce around us on our menu,” Wilson said.

“We don’t want to overthink it, we just want to celebrate all the food we have on our doorstep.”

Liberals back on beat at police station HASTINGS Liberal MP Neale Burgess has not given up on his efforts to have Somerville police station open its doors to the public.

With a state election in November, Mr Burgess last week returned to the police station accompanied by shadow police spokesman Edward O’Donohue and eight “concerned local residents” to emphasise how hard it is to speak with police.

Mr Burgess says the $16.3 million station - “funded and built” by the previous Liberal Nationals coalition government – was originally to be open to the public.

“Victoria Police and its then chief commissioner, Ken Lay, confirmed in writing, shortly before the 2014 state election, that Somerville would open as a fully functional police station, complete with a public service counter, cells and full local policing contingent,” Mr Burgess said.

However, he said, the incoming Labor government changed all that making it “very likely that [the Premier] Daniel Andrews is the first ever premier to play politics with the safety of a community by refusing to open a brand new fully fitted out police station”.

Mr Burgess said police had been sent to “marginal Labor electorates” instead of Somerville.

Mr O’Donohue said that if elected to government in November the coalition “will ensure appropriate numbers of uniformed general duties police are available to Victoria Police to open the Somerville station for local policing and to the public”.

As for Neale Burgess, the long-campaigning MP for Hastings, he “won’t rest until it’s opened and protecting this local community”.

Sweet reward from backing bees SMALL hives and “bee hotels” could lead to backyards blooming with indigenous plants as well as helping save the threatened flying insects.

Housing for native bees may be offered as a sweetener if Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors follow the lead of Moonee Valley City Council which has embarked on a program to raise awareness of the plight of native bees.

A group from the peninsula was given an insight into Moonee valley’s program, which is likely to see that city’s mayor Cr John Sipek being invited to explain the benefits of bee keeping to his peninsula counterparts.

The Mornington Peninsula Shire’s natural systems team manager, Simon Thorning and Crs Antonella Celi and David Gill are enthusiastic about introducing a save-the-bees bee program after having a close-up look at Moonee Valley’s bees.

Cr Gill said their visit was prompted by Balnarring Beach resident and bee enthusiast, Alex Lusnats.

“We spent a Friday morning with Moonee Valley’s mayor John Sipek and learnt about their inexpensive but valuable bee program,” Cr Gill said.

“It is the only municipal-sponsored bee program in Victoria and they want to develop an awareness of the value of bees, including native bees, increasing honey production and crop pollination and protecting bees from diseases that have destroyed large populations in Europe and America.

“Moonee Valley’s education program includes giving away hives built by local men’s sheds. A key project is bee hotels small hives that come

with several native bees. Hundreds of children now care for these nonaggressive bees in their backyards.”

“I can see the value to the peninsula of having a similar program. We need Italian and other overseas bees for agricultural production to safeguard our local $1 billion food bowl including market gardens and honey production.”

Cr Gill said native bees were being “lost” to the more competitive intro-

duced honey bees.

“There were once many kinds of native bees, but there has been a drastic reduction. My local favourite is the beautiful blue banded bee, but they are now difficult to find.

“Native bees pollinate our remnant indigenous vegetation and are part of our eco-system.

“With community support we could relocate honey bees from the shire’s

many bushland reserves to agricultural areas. This would increase our native bees population while encouraging honey bees to do their job.”

Cr Gill said “the next step” in his bid to protect native bees was to invite Cr Sipek to outline Moonee Valley’s bee program to shire councillo0rs.

Cr Sipek said it would be great for Moonee Valley to have a bee sister city.

NEWS DESK Shire looking for a lawyer

Chefs prepare for taste test in China

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has established its own legal services team.

Its search for team members now includes a job for an “inhouse planning and building lawyer”.

The shire’s advertisement says the role is “rare” and the successful applicant will join a legal services team that aims to integrate a “best practice local government legal department comprising the functions of legal, risk, insurance and claims across the shire's operations”.

The appointee will report to David Carrington, the shire’s “corporate counsel, legal counsel – planning” and provide legal opinions and advice on building and planning activities; drafting court documents and VCAT and planning panel submissions; representing council at VCAT hearings and “other proceedings and committees as required from time to time”.

The person being sought for the job must be a lawyer with a minimum five years’ experience as an advisor on planning and building issues with a “demonstrated knowledge, skills and achievement in providing high quality and practical legal advice”.

As well as knowing and understanding the principles and practices of administrative, building and planning law the successful applicant needs to have “strong knowledge and understanding” of VCAT procedures and practices.

PREPARATION for the prestigious Bocuse d’Or cooking competition is underway for Michael Cole, current head chef at Georgie Bass Cafe and Cookery in Flinders.

Cole was selected last year as the Australian representative in the international cooking competition, which will see him fly to China in May. He has now begun his training for the Asia-Pacific section of the competition with fellow chef, Laura Skvor.

“We had a meeting in Melbourne a few weeks ago about our training program for the Bocuse d’Or, so Laura and I have already started training for that, we’ve been training for a while now.

They’re going to send us over to the competition in China probably about a week before the event so we can get used to it over there,” Cole said.

The Asia-Pacific section of the competition will be held in Guangzhou on 8 and 9 May. Success there would see Cole and Skvor qualify for the grand finale in Lyon in January 2019.

Cole attributes his success to his style of presenting food, which he says is inspired by the trees and berries he finds on his walks in the bush around Flinders.

“Sometimes people can’t understand why a Bocuse d’Or chef is working on the peninsula, but it’s all about the lifestyle balance,” Cole said. “It’s so beautiful down here, I find so much inspiration and it’s all so positive. Working here gets me away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and it gives me time to create.”

The China trip in May will be Cole’s second attempt at qualifying in

the Bocuse d’Or. “I [first] entered when I was 25 and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had no idea how intense it was going to be. I failed miserably,” he said.

“It shocked me, but it shocked me in a good way. It showed me how much I

had to learn.

“The whole thing about cooking is we’re forever learning and challenging ourselves to get better. It took me eight years of training and working around the world before entering the Bocuse d’Or again.”

Cole found more success in his next

attempt. As well as being selected as the Australian Bocuse d’Or candidate he won the Chef of the Year Award.

Public company powering ahead Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au AN “oversight” committee has been formed to ensure “community ownership” of control and infrastructure of a power company aiming to halve electricity bills on the Mornington Peninsula within six years.

The People Power Company Mornington (PPCM) is holding a series of public meetings to gauge support for its plan to “fund, build and own together, a renewable plus storage, private electricity company to serve the needs of all ratepayers within the shire”.

“In standing up to promote a genuine community opportunity, we have been bowled over by how rigorously the community drills us on critical and important details of the proposal,” spokesman Magnus Mansie, of Shoreham, said.

“The wisdom of crowds is not a myth, it is a hard-nosed reality and despite feeling like one is in the cross-hairs at times, it is an exhilarating experience.”

Mr Mansie said forming a Community Oversight Committee (COC) “is an important first step in the [company] honouring its commitment to community ownership and control of their own energy infrastructure”.

He said the committee would have access to all aspects of the company’s planning, “including commercial-in-confidence issues”.

“A process for resolving any community concerns is under discussion and will be codified and ratified in due course.”

Mr Mansie said organisers were “taking onboard the current crop of important questions”

raised at community meetings at Shoreham and Mornington “in order to be able to present the proposal with greater clarity”.

“The community must feel very comfortable with this opportunity and know that there is absolutely no risk in registering,” he said.

Mr Mansie told The News in January that by its sixth year of operation People Power Company Mornington “will be keeping around $165 million a year in the pockets of our local community for a further 20 years”.

The move for a privately-owned power company followed the announcement by Mornington Peninsula Shire of its “partnership” in a “community grid project” with United Energy and GreenSync “to harness the power of demand response and facilitate the uptake of new renewable energy technologies”.

Mr Mansie said PPCM had a team of “engineers with international, large-scale project design and delivery experience, national economic experience and international ethics experience”.

The company’s plan for power consumers to not be reliant on “government or corporate actions” involved building “renewable generation capacity as well as storage”.

“It is intended that Mornington Peninsula Shire ratepayers and the employees of the company will be the only owners of this new company,” Mr Mansie said.

“We will model the solutions in partnership with the only distributor on the peninsula, United Energy, and those positive discussions have already commenced.

The company’s next meeting is 6pm – 7.30pm Friday 2 March at Hastings Community Hall. Interested ratepayers and renters may register for the meeting at: morningtonpower.com.au

Car hits shop

A SHOP in Hastings High Street was badly damaged after a car drove through its front door on Friday afternoon (23 February).

A woman driver, understood to be aged in her late 70s, accidentally mounted her car onto the footpath and drove into the front of the Brilliant Nails shop during the day.

Fortunately, no workers inside the shop or pedestrians were injured.

Brilliant Nails owner Mattieu Tran said the damage was extensive.

“All of the front of the shop will need fixing. When the lady came through the front door all of the glass was broken. Luckily everybody involved was okay,” Mr Tran said.

DETECTIVES were able to return a portable speaker after it was stolen from one of two youths walking home from Mt Erin College, 9pm, Wednesday 21 February.

Detective Senior Constable Shaun Rampal, of Frankston CIU, said the 15-year-olds were walking home after basketball along Franciscan Avenue when a group of youths from a nearby party approached.

Two of the youths allegedly “stood over” the boys and demanded to be able to go through their backpacks, stealing the speaker and other items valued at $200.

Detectives later attended the party and spoke to the hosts who put out a message on social media, urging the offenders to return the items, which they did.

A Frankston youth and a Crib Point youth, both 17, were taken back to the police station for questioning.

Charges may follow.

Detective Senior Constable Shaun Rampal, of Frankston CIU, will allege the man, 49, demanded the young bottle shop attendant hand over cash from the till before making his escape on a bike.

AN attempted carjacking at Karingal Hub shopping centre was foiled when the intended victim fought off the offender, 8.30pm, Tuesday 20 February.

Detectives were told the man, carrying a bucket, flagged down the blue Nissan SUV near the Hog’s Breath cafe pleading for help. While talking to the male driver he lunged for the keys and attempted to enter the vehicle, but during a scuffle the driver managed to lock himself in and was able to drive away.

Wine, tractors lost in fire DINERS were evacuated on Sunday when fire swept through a shed near the restaurant at the Ten Minutes by Tractor winery in MorningtonFlinders Road, Main Ridge.

Sheds and a storage area at the winery were extensively damaged in the blaze which broke out at 3.30pm.

Vintage wines, a 1928 Fordson Tractor, and a 1938 Allis Chalmers Tractor were lost in the fire.

The restaurant and cellar door at Ten Minutes

by Tractor will be closed until further notice.

Sergeant Dennis Ramsay, of Mornington Police, said that the fire was “non-suspicious” and was suspected to have been caused by an electrical fault.

Police said one employee suffered superficial burns.

The history of the winery can be traced back almost 30 years. Three vineyards form the basis

of the winery; each within 10 minutes by tractor ride away from each other.

He said Lovel and Spear were not the first players from the club to achieve national selection as well as Division 1 state selection, with others “featuring strongly in the Victorian State Over 60 and Over 70 teams in all divisions”.

Bittern ‘booms’ THE release of 14 blocks of land on Frankston-Flinders Road, Bittern, next weekend, and the development of the Lifestyle Bittern retirement village, is described by the selling agent as indicative of “booming Bittern”.

The 16 allotments range from 2482 to 5112 square metres and will be auctioned on Saturday 3 March.

“This unique development is unlikely to be replicated in this region again,” agent Bruce Goddard, of Jacobs and Lowe, said. “There is interest from all over Victoria, but in the most part with local residents looking for a bit more land for their families.”

The blocks The retirement village will have 209 houses, clubhouse, indoor pool, bowling green, gym and cinema room. The first residents are due to move in in August.

Prime Minister’s whistlestop Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON train station was a honeypot for politicians on both sides of the political spectrum last Monday (19 February).

The Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull turned up at the station about half an hour after Victorian Transport Minister Jacinta Allan dropped by to announce the awarding of a tender as part of the Labor state government’s $63 million station precinct redevelopment project.

Mr Turnbull, accompanied by Dunkley Liberal MP Chris Crewther, travelled to the station flanked by a prime ministerial security detail.

Most people walking past on the streets of Frankston seemed nonplussed by Mr Turnbull’s declaration that he was there to announce “a business case for the electrification of the Frankston line to Baxter”.

His 15-minute visit to central Frankston followed an hour or so at Mornington business, Bata Shoes.

“He was in town to look at Bata Shoes and local manufacturing and talk about the need for growth in manufacturing,” Mr Crewther said after the visit.

“He was at Frankston train station to talk about the Baxter electrification project and our support for that. We’ve signed off on that project already, so we’re waiting on the state government to tender it out.”

The federal government committed $4 million towards a business case study to make the case for the electrification of the rail line to Baxter.

“We’re calling on the state government to cost it out because we want

Station visit: Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull had a brief respite while in Frankston from being asked about the Liberal Party’s inability to give Nationals Party coalition colleague Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce the boot. The political capital has been rocked by revelations of taxpayer-funded jobs last year for a previously undeclared female partner of the deputy. Picture: Gary Sissons

it costed out before the state election,” Mr Crewther said.

“If we don’t get it scoped before the state election there’s going to be no funding committed by the state opposition or the state government.”

Ms Allan announced a construction partnership between KBR and John Holland to redevelop Frankston train station based on designs by Genton Architecture.

“This new station will be bigger and better than before,” she said in a statement.

“It will be a community centre Frankston can be proud of.”

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke,

also at the station with the state transport minister last Monday, took to social media after the Prime Minister’s visit to note Mr Turnbull made no federal funding announcements while in Frankston and "urging" the state government to partly fund major projects.

“State Labor govt invests $200 plus million in Frankston without any matching investment from the PM and Federal Libs who are still 'urging' ....

Thanks for nothing Turnbull,” Mr Edbrooke tweeted.

The station will be closed from midyear while the rebuild is underway and replacement buses will shuttle commuters.

CELEBRATING its 90th year, the Red Hill Show is still one of the most popular family events on the Mornington Peninsula calendar.

Thousands of people will head up to the Red Hill Showgrounds on Saturday, 10th March to be part of this wonderful community celebration of agriculture, heritage, cooking, crafts and entertainment. The showgrounds will be transformed into one colourful, appetizing, entertaining spectacle for the whole family. The Mornington Peninsula will be on show!

For nine decades the show continues to commemorate our agricultural lineage that goes back to the early pioneers and settlers on the hill. Visit our wonderful historical display in the community pavilion assembled by a team of volunteers lead by life member, Liz Dart and sponsored

by Hillview Quarries. It includes a collection of memorabilia, photos, trophies and more. Don’t miss the official opening at 11am.

As always, the animals, entertainment, exhibitions and demonstrations will be top class.

“This year the Show Committee welcomes the speed and agility of the Fly Dogs”, said Bec Davis, Executive Officer. “The top oval will be taken over once again but the majestic

Clydesdales and romantic Gypsy Cobs”. The horses will be on show from 10.45am. Come and meet these very special gentle giants!

“To celebrate our 90th we have included more FREE rides and fantastic attractions for the whole family”, Bec commented. “Kids can delight in a free pony ride, feed and pet our farm animal friends or enjoy a close encounter with native wildlife. Chose the BEST EXHIBIT IN SHOW and go in the draw to win a Bed & Breakfast voucher donated by Lindenderry at Red Hill. Maybe it’s a chook or duck in the poultry pavilion or a fun-loving ferret. From Miniature goats, alpacas, sheep and every animal in between. See the mustering talents of the Futura Working Dogs.

Watch a farrier in action, join in a leather works demo, see a puppet master work his magic or visit our local Willum Warrain indigenous group where kids can paint their own boomerangs. It truly is a community event celebrating our past culture and lost trades”.

Animals aside, there is so much more at the show. Kids and adults from across Victoria have submitted their entries for exhibits ranging from art & craft to cakes, flowers and vegies. The pavilions will be filled

with displays and demos. Marvel at the skilled art of the wood turners and spinners and weavers.

Back by popular demand the Australian Mountainboarders will be trilling us with their high-flying stunts and sharing their tricks of the trade in free workshops throughout the day.

Kids will love the circus workshops, tennis lesson from Origin Hotshots, rock climbing and fairground rides including free bubble soccer. There are prizes to be won across all ages at the classic Gumboot Throw. If that is not enough, we have the groves of The Jackson Four entertaining us on the top oval most of the day along with Wacca the Musical Koala and Jack with his Ukulele band.

There will be industry and trade sites to explore from car companies, tractors and other machinery. Chat with the folks from Our Vans RV Rosebud and step inside the latest award-winning caravans. Wander around and peruse the diverse range of market stalls selling local crafts, produce and gourmet delights. Good food and local produce is engrained in the culture of the gorgeous Mornington Peninsula. … See you at the show!

The 90th

RED HILL SHOW

The speed and agility of the fly dogs will astound!

The Fly Dogs demonstration is a new edition to the show this year and the team at Four Paws Sports (4PS) will be showing us what their agile, clever dogs can do. It’s fun for spectators, dogs and handlers. Make sure you come and see Rodney and his Fly Dogs – run, jump, fetch and more.

“We want more people and more dogs having fun, playing together”, commented Rodney. “Helping the handlers learn to better understand their four-legged companions and watching the dogs gain confidence is very rewarding. Crash Bandicoot (pictured right) is a 2yo Koolie from Australian Koolie Rescue. Quest, our other dog and Crash both love their dog sports and she fits in well with the 4PS philosophy of facilitating dogs to reach their potential”. Crash works for KONG and trains for Flyball, Canine Disc (UpDog), Dog Bar High Jump, Tricks and is loving life on the Mornington Peninsula.

A celebration of cider and the 90th for the CWA FOLLOWING the success of the inaugural cider show hosted by Max Allen last year, we are planning more demonstrations by our local cider makers and a public tasting of the award-winning ciders in show. We are thrilled to have local published foodie Richard Cornish back with us to MC the stage. Well known in the food scene as an independent writer and commentator on food issues and an affable and humorous host and presenter.

The Country Women’s Association is also celebrating its 90th and continues to attract women from diverse backgrounds, ready to do their bit to make a big difference. The newest branch established last year up at Red Hill re-enforces this great work the CWA do. Mornington Peninsula Group President, Marnie Turner, said she was blown away by the response to the callout for women to stand up and make a difference in their local community. “Red Hill is rich with CWA history and it’s great to see these ladies coming together to ensure the legacy of the women who came before them, lives on.” The CWA will take centre stage at the Red Hill Show when the Fruit Cake judging commences at 10am or chat them at their show marquee.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Local lads welcomed home Compiled by Brodie Cowburn THIS evening a welcome home will be accorded Corporal F. McDonald D.C.M. and Gunner H. Upton, (who have been invalided back from the front) at the Langwarrin Hall.

At the same time a presentation will be given Trooper G. Knox on the occasion of his departure to the scene of action. *** MAJOR Conder, Camp Commandant, Langwarrin, returned to camp last week, after a well deserved holiday, extending over eighteen days.

This is the only change the Major has enjoyed during his residence in Langwarrin. In two years and one month he has not been absent for a single night from camp.

Part of the holiday was spent in New South Wales, in company with the genial padre - Capt Chaplain Gates.

A warm welcome was accorded them upon their return to camp. *** WHILE burning off sweepings from the trucks at the Albion Sand Pit on the 14th, the tree adjoining caught fire, the flames reaching thirty feet.

Had it not been for the prompt action of Mr Klauer (pit forman) with his men, also ganger Gale and staff, who were working close by on the Railway line, Seaford may have had a serious fire. *** THE Somerville Red Cross Society assisted by the residents of the district

are entertaining a contingent of returned soldiers on Saturday afternoon, March 2nd at 2.30 p.m.

All are invited to come and give the boys a cheer. The Langwarrin band will play selections. *** AT THE Red Cross bazaar held at Somerville last week a collection was made by the members and presented

by Mr G Shepherd (chairman) to Mr Duffy (Secretary of the Hall committee) who is going into camp this week. *** EXCESSIVE Motor Traffic.

A conference of municipalities was held at the Municipal Association Chambers, Melbourne, on Tuesday afternoon last, to consider the above question.

The conference was convened by the Shire of Frankston and Hastings. and was presided over by Cr. W. J. Oates, President of that Shire. Two delegates were present from each of the following shires:— Mornington, Dandenong, Cranbourne, Moorabbin, Mulgrave, Nunawading, Lilydale, Upper Yarra, Braybrook, Corio, Werribee, Bacchus Marsh, Fern Tree Gully, Healesville, Doncaster, Heidelberg, Keilor, Bulla, Eltham, Melton, Broadmeadows, Gisborne.

The chairman explained the object for which they were called together to endeavor to get assistance in maintaining the roads where the extra motor traffic through particular shires means that revenue that should be spent on subsidising back roads is be-

ing spent to keep CRB roads in repair for motor traffic.

A serious defect in the act was that it made no provision for a speed limit for motors. It was considered that a maximum speed of 25 miles an hour was as much as the best macadamised road could carry with reasonable maintenance charges. *** A PAINFULLY sudden death occurred at Frankston on Friday afternoon when Mrs Mary Agnes Hockin, 64, a widow, collapsed while walking along Playne St. She was carried into Mr Wheeler’s chemist shop, from where a message was sent for Dr Atkinson, who pronounced life to be extinct.

The coroner was informed of the death and after receiving a report from the Frankston police, gave an order for burial.

Deceased leaves a grown up family of daughters, was at one time proprietress of Hockin’s hotel Elizabeth St., City *** ABOUT twenty gentlemen attended the meeting held at Frankston on Monday evening, for the purpose of considering what further steps could be taken to improve the Kananook Creek.

The Shire president, Cr W. J. Oates, occupied the chair and after reading the advertisment calling the meeting said that the matter was a most serious one. The creek at present was in a terrible state. They had tried to improve it and had approached the

Governmeet for help but though they had received all sorts of promises nothing of much avail had been done.

Mr Adamson had inspected the creek, and had promised to do something but found out that there were no funds available. £100 had been put on the estimates to put more boards on the mouth of the creek, but that was all the satisfaction they had got. *** THIS evening (Feb 23) a grand entertainment will be given by the Gipsy Rovers, in the Somerville Mechanics’. Proceeds are in aid of the local branch of the Lady Mayoress’ Patriotic league.

A splendid programme will be submitted and patrons are assured a pleasant time. Prices for admission are 1s 6d and 1s. *** MR J. D. Page, of Armadale, will conduct both services at the Frankston Methodist Church on Sunday next.

On the same day the Rev T. H. P. Woodford of Mornington will officiate at Somerville, afternoon and evening, in connection with the the Sunday School anniversary. *** A euchre party and dance held by the Wattle Club, on Thursday, February 14th was very successful.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Having My Cake But Not Eating It Too

By Stuart McCullough IT arrived without warning. A message appeared on my phone accompanied by a photo. The picture was of a piece of cake. The caption simply said: ‘the last piece’. I’m sure my brother meant it as a provocation of a kind. But he was wrong. Instead of a golden opportunity to lord it over me, this was my chance to seize a moral high ground so lofty that the altitude would require Sherpas and an oxygen tank. I held nothing back in response.

That, in retrospect, was my mistake.

Each year our mother makes Christmas cakes. These are then distributed to me and to my siblings. Granted, there was an ugly period during which the size of your cake depended on the size of your family. Suffice to say, that some members of the family received a cake that could only be described in terms of acreage whereas mine was a notch or two above ‘cup cake’. These days, however, each family receives the same thing.

Which makes the weeks that follow even more interesting.

For as long as I can remember, there’s been an unspoken competition between my brothers and sisters and I regarding these Christmas cakes.

It’s both breathtakingly simply and deadly serious. The rules are simple.

The person who keeps at least some of their cake for the longest period of time wins. That’s what my brother was really telling me with that text message. He was telling me that he’d won. Again.

My brother has a gift for taking his time. He always has. As kids, he’d

PAGE 36

still have Easter eggs in November, months after the rest of us had wolfed down our own, leaving nothing but brightly coloured foil in a twisted mess. It was the same with biscuits.

Rather than eat a Tim Tam, my brother would dissect it, patiently picking of bits of chocolate until the

Western Port News 27 February 2018

entire thing was completely denuded.

It was inevitable that he’d parlay his extraordinary skill for preservation into the annual Christmas cake competition. We’d catch up and he’d say, ‘February 12’ and I’d know exactly what he was talking about.

I’ve never been good at it. Years

ago, when I was single, I probably had my best shot of winning. Back then I ate Christmas cake throughout January as a substitute for dinner.

Then, after I was married, I discovered to my absolute horror that I was expected to share my Christmas cake with others. Not just with my wife, but her sister, my mother in law and, so it seemed, various passers by. This severely curtailed my ability to make it past the first week after Christmas.

One of my sisters has her own challenges in this respect – she has three teenage boys and is lucky if there’s anything left after the car trip home.

This time, I took a strategic approach. Instead of allowing people to descend on my Christmas cake like a hoard of gigantic ants, I lopped off a chunk and handed it over without fuss. This extraordinary act of generosity seemed to satiate the need of my nearest and dearest to demand more. It meant that my Christmas cake would be free of the threat unexpected raids and unplanned pillaging.

All I had to do now was exercise self control. Luckily, I quite like exercise, and I still had Christmas cake left over by the time we hit February.

Perhaps I was a little too quick to claim victory. I texted my brother, boasting that I still had some Christmas cake left. His response was immediate, claiming that he’d be at my place by six. I, in turn, informed him that I was in Horsham. He quickly replied that instead of six, he’d arrive at half past seven. For a moment, I thought he had failed to comprehend that I would not be available before it dawned on me that I was surplus

to requirements. I laughed it off as a joke, before messaging my wife and telling her to check the locks. It was in the days that followed that I overplayed my hand.

Having received a photo, I decided to send a picture of my own. It was of my last piece of Christmas cake. Having made it all the way to February, this was something of a personal best for me. I even positioned the little Santa figurine. Perhaps it was the angle or a trick of the light, but the photo almost looked as though Father Christmas was yelling in anger, defending the last piece of cake. At a glance, it seemed as though St Nick might even be flipping my brother the bird. I sent it to him along with the hashtag ‘last piece’. That, so I thought, was that.

I received a series of messages in reply. The first one read ‘#dropthemic’ and included an emoji of a microphone. Presumably the microphone was in the process of being dropped. It’s had to tell sometimes with emojis. It was then followed by a photo of a cake still wrapped in plastic. It was, my brother would go on to explain, a back up cake. One they’d been given as a reward for their children’s help with decorating. He then followed it up with a final text that simply read, ‘#theydon’tlikechristmascake’. I was beaten. My brother had once again bested me. Soundly beaten, there was nothing I could do but console myself with my last piece of Christmas cake.

Wickets tumble at Lloyd Park PROVINCIAL

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully IT is going to be an enthralling second week of cricket at Langwarrin’s Lloyd Park this Saturday as the home team attempts to defend its measly total of 135.

Baxter’s Dale Irving and Ben Brittain tore through the Kanga’s top order at one stage having them reeling at 2/2. Jake Prosser (23) Trav Campbell (51) and Taylor Smith (22) helped the Kangas get to their final total. They lasted just 66.4 overs.

Yohan Maddege bowled 20.4 overs for Baxter and finished with the outstanding figures of 4/41.

Baxter faced the final 13 overs of the day and things could not have gone any worse. They will resume this week at 4/31 with Chris Brittain, Justin Bridgeman and Dale Irving still to bat.

Mornington has set Peninsula Old Boys 175 for victory in their match at Alexandra Park.

Michael Heib top scared for the Doggies with 48 while Sam Wiese opened with 38. Adam Gailitis was the pick of the POB bowlers with 4/58 from 31 overs.

POB faced the final 3 overs of the day and finished at 0/11.

A number of Pearcedale batsmen

got starts with Will Kennedy top scoring with 30 and Chris Dew hitting 28.

Mt Eliza faced the final 2 overs of the day and will resume this week at 0/5.

Sorrento’s top order fired on Saturday against Crib Point and the result was 9/236 from 80 overs.

Jedd Falck top scored for the Sorras with 49, Bobby Wilson continued his country week form with 48 and Tom Clarke contributed 41 to the final total.

The Magpies Glenn Barclay was the best of the bowlers picking up 5/76 from 33 overs.

Country week champs MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association was crowned Country Week champions last week after beating SaleMaffra in the final by 5 wickets.

The MPCA batted first at the Junction Oval and put together a more than competitive score of 5/227, with skipper Bobby Wilson hitting an unbeaten 113 while Chris Dew opened with 66.

Sale-Maffra was always in the contest eventually bowled out in the final over for 214. Wilson followed up his superb performance with the bat snaring 4/36 off 8.4 overs with the ball.

The MPCA also defeated Sale-Maffra in round 2 of the competition by almost 100 runs. Its only blemish throughout the competition was against Traralgon in round 1, losing by 46 runs.

Hills in strong position DISTRICT

In command: Heatherhill battling Mt Martha. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully HEATHERHILL has placed itself in a commanding position against Mt Martha in MPCA District cricket.

The Hills bowled out the Reds for 180 in the 68th over. It should have been a lot less given the Red’s skipper Rhys Whitling scored 46 at the bottom of the innings. Brett Maxwell was the pick of the Hills bowlers with 3/28.

In reply, Heatherhill faced the final 12 overs of the day and opener Steven O’Donnell blasted the attack scoring a quick fire 40 to have the

Hills 0/46 at stumps.

Hastings needs six wickets and Seaford needs 62 runs for victory in their match at Seaford Reserve.

In a game that is sure to go down to the wire, Hastings batted first and limped to 121. At one stage the Blues were 8/77.

Seaford’s skipper, Ryan McQueen, took 3/10 and Dean Polsen snared 3/35.

Facing the final 18 overs of the day Seaford was cruising at 0/29 before losing 4/32. Luke Hewitt picked up 3/27.

Rosebud has already won its match against Rye. Rye batted first and lasted just 37

Eagles chase big scalp PENINSULA

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully SOMERVILLE is just 34 runs short of victory against Red Hill in MPCA Peninsula cricket after 16 wickets fell on the opening day.

The Eagles will resume this week at 6/65 chasing down Red Hill’s first innings total of 98.

Red Hill skipper Simon Dart was the only notable performer scoring 44.

Delacombe Park appears to be in the box seat against Pines on their home turf needing a further 151 runs for victory with 9 wickets in hand.

Pines batted first on Saturday with Ashley Hupe top scoring with 47 while Lai Leaunoa was next best with 37.

Ricky Ramsdale was sensational

PAGE 38

with the ball for the Parkers taking 5/46 off 29.5 overs, including ten maidens. The Parkers will have the full 80 overs to track down the total.

Moorooduc will need to be at its best with the bat this week in an effort to score the 217 required to beat Long Island.

Pathum De Mel took 3/29 for the Ducks while Reece Cordeux helped himself to 3/39.

The Ducks will resume this week at 0/2.

In the final match, Flinders has set Main Ridge 224 for victory.

Mackenzie Gardener top scored for the Tigers with 43 while David James was next best with 30 after the Tigers won the toss and batted first.

The Braves were forced to face the final four overs of the day, but didn’t come through unscathed losing Tyson Jackson for a duck.

They will resume this week at 1/5.

Knights facing an outright loss SUB-DISTRICT

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully BALLAM Park is staring down the barrel of an outright defeat against Tootgarook in MPCA Sub District cricket.

The Knights batted first and lost their first six batsmen for less than fifteen runs between them. Shannon Roberts proved to be the saviour for the Knights with 23. Stephen Brain

was clearly the Frog’s best bowler capturing 6/27 off 17 overs.

Tootgarook then went to town and in 27 overs rattled together 7/127, Tim Symons top scoring with 43 and Travis French hitting 42.

The Knights faced the final 16 overs of the day and will resume at 1/24, still 50 runs behind.

Whilst it may be too late for Frankston YCW to make finals,

they are giving it a red-hot dip against Dromana.

Dromana batted first and was bowled out for 124 with YCW’s Levi Greenwood taking 3/19.

Dromana’s Jeff Bluhm top scored with 39.

In reply, the Stonecats, without Jason Bedford, are 1/33.

Boneo needs 117 runs with nine wickets in hand in their match at Bo-

neo Reserve against Balnarring.

Lachlan Barton top scored for Balnarring after they won the toss and batted first scoring 40, while Nathan Kleinig was next best with 24.

Boneo skipper Leigh Janssen was unbelievable for his side picking up 8/52 off 29.2 overs. Boneo will resume this week at 1/1.

Tyabb will need to be at its best this week with the bat to hunt down Car-

rum Downs’ total of 207.

The Yabbies have made a great start however and will resume this week at 0/33. Kaden Latcham was solid with the ball for the Yabbies bowling 16 overs and finishing with 4/37.

In the final match, Carrum has set Skye 181 for victory. Corey Hand scored 50 and Dillan Steed hit 42 to help Carrum to 180 off 75.5 overs. In reply, Skye is 0/13..

Greening wins FFA Cup tie in extra time SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie GOALSCORING legend David Greening led Somerville Eagles to a nailbiting FFA Cup upset over Balmoral at Somerville Secondary College on Saturday.

The man dubbed “The Green Machine” scored in the 18th minute of extra time to give Somerville a 3-2 win over its more fancied State 4 opponent after scores were deadlocked at 2-2 after normal time.

Balmoral started brightly and took the lead in the 26th minute with a decent strike from the edge of the box by Enver Malkic but Somerville levelled in the 35th minute via a long-range wind-assisted free kick from Greening which sailed over the head of Balmoral keeper Esar Corhodzic.

Somerville dominated the second half with Bjorn Kutschera and Joel Wade shooting wide and Greening and Louis Griffiths being denied

by Corhodzic.

A quick break in the 57th minute saw Greening combining with Matt Curd whose cross enabled former Baxter striker Griffiths to open his account for his new club.

But Balmoral hit back through Muamer Sosic in the 80th minute and Somerville keeper Brad Klarenbeek kept his side in the cup with a stunning save from a point-blank header in the 85th minute.

Eagles’ fans were in disbelief when a Greening goal was controversially ruled offside shortly after forcing the contest into extra time.

Greening’s moment of magic came in the second half of extra time when a superb through ball

by Jarryd Lymer sent the Eagles’ player-coach clear and he cut in from the left before curling the ball into the far corner for the winner.

Baxter lost 4-0 to Springvale City in their FFA Cup tie at Baxter Park on Saturday.

A defensive blunder allowed Minas Leminded to open the scoring in the second minute.

Baxter created chances but Liam Kilner and Ben Meiklem couldn’t get the breakthrough while a disputed offside decision denied Matt Morgan.

Leminded grabbed a second on the break and when Adem Alicevic was put through and finished well to make it 3-0 the contest was as good as over by half-time.

Baxter continued to fashion a series of chances in the second half but Leminded completed his hat-trick in the 70th minute and the home side’s afternoon was summed up by a glaring miss by Alan Lipsett in the final minute.

Langwarrin and Goulbourn Valley Suns had to settle for a scoreless draw in their NPL2 clash at Lawton Park on Saturday.

The scoreline masks the chances created by both sides and Langy keeper Robbie Acs and Goulburn counterpart Fraser Greenwood had fine games.

Nevertheless, the contest cried out for a finisher and Langy duo Liam Baxter and John Kuol and Goulburn strikers Craig Carley and Bill Marshall had enough chances to settle the issue.

A glancing header by Baxter from a near post corner in the 15th minute went close and Marshall blew a great chance to score in the 34th minute when he dummied cleverly inside the area then struck a firm shot from 10 metres that Acs reacted to superbly and parried.

Carley got clear two minutes into the second half only to blast his shot well over and a crunch-

Eagles soar: Somerville striker Louis Griffiths scored in the 57th minute against Balmoral in the FFA Cup on Saturday. Picture: John Punshon

ing tackle on Langy right back Andy McLean in the 62nd minute sparked a melee in the centre of the pitch.

A sweetly-timed strike from 25 metres by Callum Goulding forced Greenwood to tip over in the 76th minute and three minutes later the Goulburn custodian made his best save of the match when he was at full stretch down low to tip wide a Paul Speed free kick.

In the 81st minute, Acs did well to tip over a close-range shot from Vani Shamoon and the last chance of the contest fell to Langy central defender Andy McIntyre whose ambitious overhead kick in the 91st minute sailed wide of the far post.

Langy’s under-20s won the earlier match 1-0 with the decisive moment coming in the 54th minute when Travis Ernsdoerfer won the ball on the left of the area and squared it to Alexander Whyte for a tap-in.

Cedric Benza has completed a two-match carryover suspension and will be available next weekend to face his old club Springvale White Eagles.

Southern United’s NPLW season kicked off at Monterey Reserve on Sunday with the seniors losing 5-1 to Bayside United, which had signed most of Southern’s 2017 squad during a turbulent off-season.

There were many positives to Southern’s display, not the least being the performances of goalkeeper Freya Crocker and defensive linchpin Natasha Dakic.

Southern’s goal was spectacular thanks to

Nina Bucalo’s free-kick and the club is hopeful of signing another couple of players on the local market this week.

The under-19s lost 5-0 but their heads never dropped and they continued to interpass with no fear of the scoreline.

Haylea Porter scored for the under-16s in their 1-1 draw while Rhys McKenna, Alessandra Davis and Eden McKeown were on target in the under-14s’ 3-0 win.

The under-12s lost 2-0.

Mornington boss Adam Jamieson has been busy completing his first team squad for an assault on the State 1 South-East championship and has signed three players from the UK, one from the local market and has finally agreed terms with veteran striker Wayne Gordon.

Sam Reeves is a left-sided player recommended by left-back Jack Truelove. Reeves had been playing in Perth, WA for the past few months.

Andre Bennett, 24, is a defender or midfielder who was on the books of Middlesbrough and Gateshead and was signed from Bishop Auckland.

He is a former teammate of Sammy Orritt and was also recommended by Mornington assistant coach Dale White who played with Bennett’s father Gary.

He is due in Melbourne this week.

Scottish midfielder Alexander White has agreed terms.

The 25-year-old was on Dundee United’s books as a youth player and has played in the US on a

scholarship with Carson Newman University in Tennessee.

Jamieson also has signed goalkeeper Steve Bayard from South Springvale.

In State 2 South-East news Frankston Pines went down 4-3 to Brighton in a practice match at Monterey Reserve on Saturday.

Ioasa Saemo (2) and Jack Carter scored for Pines and the club expects to sign Lewis Potter, CJ Hodgson, Graham Hill and Luke Murray this week.

State 2 rival Peninsula Strikers takes on Mornington at Centenary Park tomorrow (Tuesday) at 7pm.

Strikers announced bold plans late last year after appointing Andy O’Dell as senior coach with a brief to completely revamp the senior squad but it hasn’t been plain sailing.

Aron Wilford, ex-Southern Stars, Bentleigh Greens, Oakleigh Cannons and St Kilda Celts, was announced as assistant player-coach last October and the big central defender was expected to play a pivotal role in the club’s promotion push.

Not any more.

There were issues over Wilford’s ability to train more than once a week and an inability to agree terms put paid to any prospective move.

Central defender James Neighbour was set to make the switch to Strikers from State 2 NorthWest 2017 champion Altona City but was lured to Mazenod instead.

Last November Strikers agreed terms with utility Marcus Slimane, 27, a former Altona City player who played at State 1 level with Caulfield United Cobras last season.

Slimane was forced to pull out of the move when a job transfer sent him to Melbourne Airport.

To make matters worse marquee striker Aziz Bayeh snapped an Achilles training with Heatherton United.

On a positive note, the club has signed 26-yearold former Gretna and Carlisle United central defender Dean Rae who arrived from the UK last month.

“Obviously I’ve got players coming but I’ve been burnt so I’m going to keep their names quiet,” said O’Dell.

“It’s been a frustrating pre-season with players coming and going and people letting me down but we’ve made a big improvement and if everyone comes we’ll give it a big push.”

In State 3 South-East news Seaford United agreed terms with attacking midfielder Matt Morris-Thomas last week.

Morris-Thomas had been training with former club Frankston Pines.

Seaford expects to make further player announcements next week.

State 3 rival Skye United enhanced its promotion credentials with a 2-1 win over Brandon Park in a friendly at Waratah Reserve on Saturday.

A Mark O’Connor free-kick and a Cameron Leopold header did the damage for Billy Armour’s outfit.

Frankston Pines, Peninsula Strikers, Seaford United and Skye United go into the draw today (Monday) for the next round of the 2018 FFA Cup. Check your club’s social media pages for cup fixture details.

Rock climbing talent on the up FRANKSTON and the Mornington Peninsula have quietly seen a rise in junior rock climbing talent.

A Carrum Downs indoor climbing gym at Bayside Rock Climbing has become a base camp for state and national rock climbers with juniors as young as sixyears-old taking to the main stage to represent their state.

With over 100 competitors taking part at the recent Victorian State Lead Climbing Titles (roped climbing) in Brunswick, the gym managed to take out three of the top four spots in the youth D category for climbers born after 2006.

The gold medal was won by 11-yearold Kai Robertson, of Rye, with nineyear-old climber Tom Walkington, of Point Leo, and six-year-old climber Seb Johnson, of Frankston South, finishing in second and fourth positions respectively.

The victory bought up Kai’s second Victorian title as he also claimed the state boulders title (short, technically hard climbs, without ropes, over crash mats) late last year.

Kai’s father, Karl Bromelow said the boys did a great job with their climbs and that they were quite amazing to watch.

“They always get the crowd going.

They love to see the passion and perseverance in the boy’s climbs and they are doing stuff which would make most adults shy from,” Mr Bromelow said.

“Seb is only six and is still in the junior program because he isn’t old enough to be in the development squad but without a doubt, he will eventually be there.”

The gym which is owned by multiple national climbing champion James Kassay has got some of Australia’s up-andcoming junior rock climbing talent and Bromelow believes the gym and the fairly

young sport of rock climbing is ever ascending.

“The gym provides more state and national champions than any other in Australia,” Mr Bromelow said.

“It’s a very active scene in Victoria and the gym has the advantage of having one of the best coaches in the country.”

National coach Will Hammersla coaches at the gym and has also recently made it into the final four for the Vicsport Young Volunteer of the Year awards.

“I’m not surprised to see the young climbers from the gym perform well at the state and national level,” Mr Bro-

melow said.

“It’s an exceptional gym and the management gives the kids every opportunity to excel. It’s quite extraordinary what is happening there.”

“It’s critical that the sport is about enjoyment and it is intense but the kids are still having fun when climbing.”

As well as training at the gym twice a week the boys are often travelling to the Grampians, climbing Mount Arapiles and head to Mt Macedon to practice outdoor climbing but they have also been doing some training down on the peninsula.

“We are quite a way from the well-established rock formations but because we are explorers by nature we are often looking around the peninsula to find different places that we can practice bouldering and work on technique,” Mr Bromelow said.

“We’ve found a few places along the peninsula which we go to a few times each week.”

The boys, along with several other climbers from the gym’s development squad, are preparing for the National Lead Climbing Titles in May and will compete in some local competitions in the meantime.

“Tom looks like he’ll be going to the nationals and Kai can if he wants to but it is up to him if he is ready to go interstate and compete as it’s held in Sydney,” Mr Bromelow said.

“Indoor climbing makes its first appearance as an official sport at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics so maybe one day we will see the boys donning the green and gold.”

Peak condition: Frankston Dolphins are set for their practice match against reigning VFL premiers Port Melbourne. Picture: Supplied

Dolphins keen for Port Melbourne clash FRANKSTON Dolphins will clash against the reigning 2017 VFL Premiers, Port Melbourne, in a friendly pre-season match on Saturday 24 March in support of the Light Up Autism foundation.

It will be the Dolphins first home practise match for the season at the Frankston City Oval and will put on display the talent within their new list of players.

Frankston Dolphins event coordinator Alan Wickes said it will be a huge day for the club as they’ll be able to see how they match up against a top club heading into their VFL return.

“The team has trained very well and the new coach is doing a good job. We have a great team doing the physical fitness part of it and all reports are that

we will be competitive,” Wickes said.

“Our side will be very keen to strut their stuff and Port Melbourne have had a turnover of trainers so we are hoping to get them on the hop.”

The game kicks off at 3pm with two TAC Cup games also being played beforehand. The Oakleigh Chargers v the Eastern Ranges at 10.30am with the Northern Knights and Sandringham Dragons kicking off afterwards at 1pm.

While entrance to the games is free, optional gold coin donations will go towards Light Up Autism as well as funds raised at the luncheon where former Hawthorn players Gary Buckenara and Gary Ayres will be speaking.

2018 TYABB AIR SHOW

You can fly, give it a try!

YOU can start to fly before 14 years old and, as a special one day only promotion, Peninsula Aero Club is offering a fully refundable ‘Trial Introductory Flight’ for those who sign up at the Tyabb Air Show on the 11th of March.

Terms and conditions of this offer will be available at the PAC stand at the Show.

School student Hudson Fitzgerald is enthusiastic about the benefits of learning to fly.

“I am now in Year 12 at Peninsula Grammar and I thought I could share my experience of learning to fly and getting my Recreational Pilots Licence at Peninsula Aero Club.

It was part of the Aviation Study programme that Peninsula Grammar offered. Although I don’t anticipate following a career in aviation, flying has helped me in so many ways and it was fun.

The skills I learned and the confidence it gave me has been amazing. Dad kept telling me, once you pass, everything else in your life will

become so much easier. It has!

When in the air you have to manage many tasks - weather, engine and fuel management, traffic, navigation, but it’s all exciting and now I have a clearer view when I face new challenges.

My general maths has improved through my flying study because I could see that it had a real-life purpose.

I have just passed my driver’s license in a manual, first go, and the experience gained from flying helped me so much.

The skills learnt to get my pilots license have helped me in so many areas and are a great benefit that I will be able to use in my future employment.

I would encourage as many teenagers as possible to learn to fly, it has been a great fun experience and has helped me along the way.

I was only 15 years old when I started and 16 when I went solo.”

Peninsula Aero Club

YOU CAN FLY!!!

GIVE IT A TRY!!!

Stuart Road (PO Box 207) Tyabb, Vic 3913 Ph: 03 5977 4406 pac@pacasn.au www.pac.asn.au PENINSULA AERO CLUB

Aero Club of the Year

Awarded by

ROYAL AERONAUTICAL SOCIETY 2015/ 2016 WINNERS

Community support A SUBSTANTIAL portion of finds raised at the Tyabb Air Show will be provided to Community Service Organisations Peninsula Aero Club has a long history of running air shows at Tyabb to raise funds for charities on the Mornington Peninsula. These shows initially started in the early 1970’s to finance the “Angel of Mercy”, the world’s first helicopter to be fully equipped as an aerial ambulance, which had been established by Bill Vowell, operating from Tyabb. Bill was a Peninsula Aero Club member from 1967.

Once the Ambulance Service leased the helicopter, funds from Tyabb Airshows have been donated to various charities and community groups, principally located on the Mornington Peninsula.

After the last air show $46,000 was donated and previous donations have included Headspace, CFA, Legacy, Men’s Sheds, Literary Villages, Rosebud Hospital Maternity Wing and Hastings SES. This year, Riding for the Disabled is nominated to be the principal beneficiary.

Riding for the Disabled Victoria is a not for profit organization that enables individuals with a variety of disabilities, ages and backgrounds to develop independence, a sense of freedom and to reach their equestrian goals, through adaptive coaching techniques and equipment.

The air show is assisted by members of the local community.

Others to benefit will include Tyabb CFA – Peninsula Aero Club has a tradition of giving support to

this grass roots service organization.

What more is there to say about a group of volunteers who serve their community at all times and often under the worst conditions.

Mt Eliza Lions Club – A club dedicated to community service. The Lions Club is a regular helper to the Tyabb Air Show and a very worthy recipient of a donation.

Tyabb Cricket & Football Clubs – A commendable part of the local community both clubs are regular supporters of the Tyabb Air Shows supplying the very important service of car park management. The Aero Club recognizes their contributions with a donation each show.
