ROSEBUD

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

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

SUNDAY: 11am - 5pm

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Relay raises $80,000 for cancer research BALMY weather overnight on Saturday made life easier for the more than 900 people who took part in the 10th annual Relay For Life on the peninsula.

The event started in the United States in 1985 and was first held in Victoria in 1999.

It was an opportunity for family, friends and colleagues to get together with the community and celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and support research into the disease.

People from all over the peninsula came to Mornington Secondary College’s oval to raise funds for the Cancer Council.

The relay was opened by shire mayor Cr Antonella Celi.

Entertainment to keep the walkers inspired and the relay batons moving was provided by southern peninsula trio SugaTree, a cappella group Ling Marra, jazz drummer Tommy Carter with a guitarist, and a seven-member tap dancing group. There were activities for children, workshops and fireworks.

Naomi Young of the Cancer Council said more than $80,000 was raised. “The fantastic turnout demonstrated the impact of cancer on our community with a predicted one in two people facing a cancer diagnosis by the time they are 85 years old.�

She said money would go to cancer research, supporting survivors and carers, and the Cancer Council help line, 13 11 20.

Low grape expectations

By Mike Hast and Keith Platt MORNINGTON Peninsula grape growers are facing the worst harvest in many years after unseasonal wet, cold and windy weather ruined pollination late last year.

Veteran winemaker Nat White of Main Ridge Estate in Red Hill says he is facing the worst harvest in 39 years but there is a silver lining.

“The peninsula is regarded as a marginal climate for growing grapes but the conditions allow us to produce some of the best wines in Australia,� he said.

Mr White, regarded as the doyen of modern era peninsula vintners, compared the peninsula with Burgundy in France, also in a marginal climate but famous for its good wine.

Harris agrees: “It will be a low crop not a bad crop.� He said poor flowering conditions in November and December had been followed by four scorching days in mid-January when temperatures in the region topped 41 degrees. “After the cold weather, we expected to see a reduction in pinot noir of 40 per cent but, after the heatwave, revised this to 50 per cent.�

Vineyards facing west had been

worst affected, he said. The Yabby Lake chardonnay harvest was expected to be close to average as the grapes had flowered after the cold weather.

Nat White said the low pollination rate on the peninsula, where nothing flowered for 3-4 weeks, also occurred in the Yarra Valley and at Coonawarra in South Australia.

He said yields on the peninsula would vary widely as some plants had flow-

ered either side of the cold weather. “Some of the smaller vineyards have not bothered erecting their nets as it is not worthwhile,� he said. “They won’t be needing pickers this year.�

Some vintners had removed fewer leaves than usual, keeping them to protect ripening grapes from the hot sun.

Vineyards with grapes in rows running east-west had done best, he said.

Firefighters take turns at the mine OVER 200 CFA volunteers from the Mornington Peninsula have been battling the open cut coal fire at Morwell.

As the fire enters its fourth week, buses are leaving Moorooduc twice daily taking members of Peninsula and Western Port CFA groups to 12hour shifts at the fire, which is forcing the evacuation of people from smokeaffected parts of Morwell.

Firefighters were at first affected by carbon monoxide from the fire, but smoke and particles have now spread from the open cut to the town.

The state government and health authorities have been criticised for not acting soon enough to issue health warnings or help take vulnerable residents to safety.

Somerville firefighter Dave O’Brien described the scene confronting the firefighters at the mine as “daunting”.

“The fire is deep seated within thousands of metres of brown coal embankments, and it requires a lot of time and effort to extinguish each section,” he said.

“The bare, smoking landscape resembles what I imagine Hell would look like.”

Mr O’Brien said firefighters were being monitored for exposure to noxious gases.

In the weeks leading up to being deployed to Morwell, volunteers from the peninsula were helping out with fires in the Grampians as well as at Orbost and Kilmore.

On Monday a CFA spokeperson said the Morwell fire was expected to burn for at least another 10 days. Foam and water was being used to extinguish the blaze.

Mine fire: Somerville firefighters Dave O’Brien, left, and Jake Sanders take a break from firefighting in the open cut coal mine next to the Hazelwood powers station at Morwell.

Green pay ‘unfair’ UNEMPLOYED Western Port young people will soon be able to apply to join the federal government’s Green Army environmental training scheme but they will be paid well below the minimum award wage.

Western Port will be among the first areas in Australia to benefit from the Coalition’s $300 million Green Army scheme, with five programs set to begin in July.

Each program will involve nine trainees and one team leader who will work up to 30 hours a week over 20-26 weeks.

The scheme is open to people aged 17 to 24 who will receive between $608.40 and $987 a fortnight, depending on their age and educational level.

Responding to criticism that the allowance approved for trainees would be below award wages, Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt said the scheme was intended as a training program.

“The Green Army is a voluntary environmental and training program, not an employment program,” he said. “The pay will be commensurate to the national training wage. It ranges between $608.40 and $987 a fortnight, depending on a participant’s age and educational level.

“It is substantially higher than Newstart, which ranges between $452.30 and $699.90 a fortnight, or Youth Allowance, which ranges from $226.80 to $699.90 a fortnight.”

Australian Council of Trade Unions president Ged Kearney said the government should not be paying rates below the minimum wage and participants should be protected by national workplace laws.

Junior footy’s new leaders

Heat loss: Thin-skinned pinot noir grapes growing in Mornington Peninsula vineyards have been hit hard by this year’s record heat and poor pollination conditions.

Grape volumes down Continued from Page 1

Retaining leaves to protect grapes had occurred more widely on the peninsula since the brutal hot weather of 2009 when Black Saturday fires devastated the state.

Mr White said bunch selection would be crucial this year. Picking would start at Main Ridge Estate at the end of March.

“It will be a quick pick and we won’t need as many people,” he said.

Harvesting has started in the lower parts of the peninsula such as Balnarring, Merricks, Dromana and Moorooduc.

About 40 workers started picking at Yabby Lake’s Tuerong vineyard 10 days ago, Mr Harris said.

“We still have to pick every acre so there will be no loss of work.”

He predicted the heatwave and did not remove leaves on either side of vines.

“Fruit for 2015 forms on the vines at the same time as this year’s grapes so next year could be light as well.”

Mr Harris said vintners had to accept

the good and bad years. “We had good vintages in 2010, 2012 and 2013 with our 2012 pinot noir the first of the variety to win the Jimmy Watson trophy,” he said.

At Hickinbotham in Dromana, vineyard manager and assistant winemaker Jaimie Janda in mid-January was bending vine leaves over this year’s pinot crop to protect the young grapes from the scorching sun.

He’s confident most of the fruit will pull through, but the losses evident by scorched grapes on the vine may cut production.

The thicker skins of shiraz, cabernet and merlot welcome the heat, a result shown by the winery being awarded gold medals for its 2010 merlot at the Melbourne Wine Show and 2012 shiraz at the Great Australian Shiraz Challenge.

Nat White said members submitted returns to the Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Association in June and this would reveal the full extent of the harvest.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It hopes a stronger working

relationship with the Southern Umpires Association will lift standards in junior umpiring ranks.

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

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

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

WHILE technology, social media and teleconferencing may be lessening the opportunity and the art of face-to-face business networking, six regional organisations have joined forces to hold a forum.

Stories of success, best practice, latest trends or just entertainment are filling the gap at the FMP (Frankston and Mornington Peninsula) Business Breakfast Series.

The inaugural breakfast was held mid-2013 with more than 260 businesses represented.

This year there will be four breakfasts, two in Frankston and two in Mornington.

Australia’s “lambassador” Sam Kekovich (pictured) will speak at the first breakfast at Mornington Racing Club on 20 March.

Organisers say more than 200 tickets have been sold.

Running the breakfasts are Frankston and Mornington Peninsula councils, Frankston Business Network, St Kilda Football Club, Monash University, and Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board.

Building on the value of Western Port

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

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

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

This has been fundamental to underpinning the Victorian economy’s out incident and there are no recorded incidents of oil spills in Port of Hastings waters.

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

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

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

This legacy of balanced and mutually beneficial environmental and economic benefit is one that the authority is committed to continuing

Bay trip: Port of Hastings Development Authority CEO Mike Lean, left, was aboard a boat tour of the proposed port expansion area on Thursday organised by the Western Port Biosphere. The tour included cruising past the existing wharf at Long Island Point near Hastings.

and extending as we plan for container shipping expansion over the next decade.

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

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

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

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

Volunteers’ foreshore fauna survey VOLUNTEERS are being asked to keep a watch out for wildlife along Balnarring foreshore.

Ecologists and rangers collecting data on animals as part of a fauna survey will train volunteers in wildlife identification and survey methods.

Balnarring Foreshore and Parks Reserve management committee will hold a community workshop to train

volunteers for the $45,000 project.

The project includes improving habitat for wildlife by planting native flora and removing weeds as well as the fauna survey.

Ecologist Mal Legg will lead the survey, which is designed to provide baseline data to inform reserve management practices and future threatened species recovery programs.

It will also develop local knowledge and capacity by mobilising the local community with information and training sessions to identify native wildlife on the reserves and their own properties.

The community workshop will be held at 10.30am on 15 March in Balnarring Hall. To sign up, visit www.balnarring.net/reserve

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

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

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

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

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

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

Local news for local people We stand as the only locally owned and operated community newspaper on the peninsula.

We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential for a strong community.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ronment of the community”.

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

The mayor said the shire worked with Peninsula Advisory Committee

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

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

members and members of peninsula agencies.

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

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

Indigenous festival at The Briars ARCHIE Roach will perform at the Mornington Peninsula’s first Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander music and cultural festival.

The Inaugural Baany to Warrna Ngargee (Water to Water Festival) is being held to promote cross-cultural awareness through indigenous music, art, dance and culture.

Baany to Warrna gets its name from the Boon Wurrung word meaning “water” and an indigenous language group from the South Australian west coast, where artistic director, Ben McKeown, comes from.

The peninsula’s indigenous population is estimated at about 1000.

The festival at The Briars Park in Mt Martha from 2.30-9.30pm on Saturday 29 March will include traditional and contemporary musicians and dancers, bush tucker, boomerang painting, arts and crafts, and indigenous storytelling.

Singer and songwriter Archie Roach is the headline act along with performances

by Nola Lauch, Mau Power from Torres Strait, Yirrmal and the Yolngu Boys.

Children’s activities include didgeridoo classes, face painting and making books.

Supreme Court judge Justice Kevin Bell will speak and participate in a question and answer session on constitutional recognition at The Briars homestead at 2pm before the start of the music.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social justice commissioner to the Human Rights Commission, Mick Gooda, and other experts will participate in the discussion.

Bookings at www.watertower.org.au Those made by midnight 22 March will be entered in a draw for tickets to several peninsula tourist attractions.

LETTERS Power to Hastings HAVING lived in the Latrobe Valley for almost a decade, I am aware of the SECV’s (State Electricity Commission of Victoria) problems, especially some of the antiquated generation capacity.

Hazelwood power station is outdated and its continued long-term generation capacity has to be questioned. The current problems besetting Hazelwood and Yallourn open cut coal fires must indicate electricity generation long term needs to be updated.

Alternatively, newer generation facilities need to be considered.

In order to replace the ageing Hazelwood coal-powered facility, there is an opportunity to have a new power generation plant located at Hastings.

A new 1000-megawatt, clean, gas-fired power station could be easily constructed close to the proposed port precinct. This needs to be factored into a state master plan. It should be considered by government as part of its state revitalisation plan.

Hastings has piped gas from the Gippsland oil and gas fields. LPG is already exported from the Port of Hastings LIP facility offshore.

Should it be necessary in the future, ships could import gas direct to the power station.

Hastings is also close to major power grid infrastructure.

The power station would bring much-needed employment opportunities for the peninsula and southeast Melbourne.

It could be constructed using the latest technology to ensure it is user and environmentally friendly.

The station could be constructed by the government and then leased back or later sold as an ongoing operation to a third party.

This type of power station does not need the unsightly tall stacks. It could be constructed and be scoped into a greenfield landscape facility, which would not impact too much visually.

There is an opportunity to contribute environmentally friendly energy right where it

is needed, and in close proximity to the greater Melbourne region.

William G T Barber, Hastings

Festival praise WITH regards to the Western Port Festival, I would like to thank the committee and volunteers who worked so hard to produce the best festival ever. I cannot recall a better staged festival since its inception.

I am sure that there was the odd crisis behind the scenes but, on the surface, all appeared to be well-coordinated and ran smoothly.

I am sure I speak on behalf of our community when I say congratulation to all involved on a truly great event and wish the committee well for future.

Max Bryant, Western Port Oberon Association

Disregard of nature AFTER inspecting plans for Arthurs Seat Skylift’s gondola chairlift, I am absolutely outraged at the complete disregard for the natural beauty and tranquility of the area.

This overindulgent, horrific blight on the area will destroy what is a wonderful place. In this day and age, this is simply stupefying.

The plans show a blatant disregard of the visitors, residents and wildlife. The gondola will be visual and environmental pollution. It reminds me of the Sydney monorail, which took 20 years to dismantle. Even ski resorts would not damage their mountains with such a monstrosity. Keeping in mind this is a short ride to the summit, this is disgraceful, shameful, embarrassing and self-indulgent proposal. A man who heads such a respectful organisation as the CSIRO should be ashamed of himself. The Skylift shareholders will forever be known as the men who ruined Arthurs Seat.

Digging deep: Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius joined Police Minister Kim Wells and Hastings MP Neale Burgess last Wednesday to kick-start construction on Somerville police station.

Work on cop shop begins

By Chris Brennan WORK on the $16.3 million Somerville police station is finally underway following an official ground-breaking ceremony last week.

The station, at the corner of Eramosa Rd West and Coolart Rd, is designed to accommodate 150 police officers and staff, and will include a uniform branch, highway patrol, crime scene unit and shortterm holding cells.

It will also feature public consultation and interview rooms, a mess room, changing rooms, gymnasium, administration areas and conference room facilities that can be adapted for emergency management.

The 2500-square metre police station, which will operate 24 hours a day, is expected to be completed in March 2015.

Police and Emergency Services Minister Kim Wells was joined by Hastings MP Neale Burgess and Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Luke

Cornelius last Wednesday for the ground-breaking ceremony.

Mr Wells said the station would boost emergency response capabilities, reduce crime and improve community safety in the Western Port region.

“The station will provide a 24-hour police response that will allow quicker responses to incidents and meet the needs of a growing population across the region,” he said.

The station would provide first-response coverage of Somerville, Moorooduc, Hastings, Tyabb, Pearcedale, Baxter and Langwarrin South, Mr Wells said.

Plans for a police station in Somerville were first announced by the state government in 2011 following extensive community lobbying.

The site was selected in September 2012 after $2 million was allocated in the 2011-12 state budget for land and draft design proposals.

Burglaries rise but assaults down

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the lead-up to International Women’s Day on 8 March, crisis service chief executive Annette Gillespie said family

violence exacted a far greater toll on the community than people imagined.

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

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

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

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

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

“It is used to enforce gender roles and norms, and assumes that women are inferior to men. We can only truly tackle violence against women if we address gender inequality as a core element.”

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

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

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

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

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

Two in a row for Flinders surfer FLINDERS surfer Georgia Fish has won the second round of the Victorian women’s open series at Woolamai on Phillip Island.

The world qualifying series surfer’s win on Sunday in one-metre plus waves was her second in a row in the open women’s event.

In the final, Zoe Clarke of Jan Juc scored 8.75, which was not enough to beat Fish’s 8.85.

Phillip Island’s India Payne, a former Australian champion, came third in what was her first competition in more than two years.

In the men’s open division, Steve Noble of Cape Patterson used his knowledge of the break to take out round two and secure a spot in the Rip Curl Pro pre-trials.

“I’ve been working really hard to recover from a few injuries that hampered my surfing last time I was in the trials, so I’m excited to get a shot at it fully fit,” Noble said.

Josh Johnson-Baxter of Ocean Grove was second with Carl Wright, Smiths Beach, third and Mt Eliza’s Caiden Fowler fourth.

The Victorian Indigenous Surfing Titles open men’s final saw another win for reigning champion Jordie

Sunday driven art JENNY Riddle’s paintings of the Mornington Peninsula evoke her memories of Sunday drives.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Beach break: Georgia Fish, above, won her second open series competition in a row at Woolamai on Sunday. Caiden Fowler, right, of Mt Eliza, showed form in the metre-high waves to come fourth in the men’s final.

Disabled surfers THE next event being held by the Disabled Surfing Association Mornington Peninsula branch will be at Point Leo on Saturday 15 March.

Registrations for volunteers open at midday. Take a wetsuit and hat if available.

More than 230 volunteers helped 41 disabled surfers at the last event on Saturday 18 January.

Lisa Brown English Teacher

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

WHAT IS THE LEAP PROGRAM?

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

HOW DOES THE LEAP PROGRAM WORK?

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

WHO SHOULD APPLY FOR THE LEAP PROGRAM?

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

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

Town divided over 150th sculpture gift

By Mike Hast FLINDERS is having a “Yellow Peril” moment with residents divided over a proposed $93,000, four-metre high bronze sculpture and its planned location.

The work, which some say looks like seaweed, is to mark the 150th anniversary of the village later this year as well as the 200th anniversary of the death of Matthew Flinders, after whom the town is named.

Almost 100 residents of the population of 640 packed Flinders Hall on Saturday for the first public meeting about the bronze sculpture by Andrew Rogers, a Flinders resident whose work is in galleries and private collections in Australia, Europe and the United States, including a multi-piece work in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza outside the

United Nations building in New York.

A Flinders Community Association sculpture committee has been working on the project for about three years and wants to install the work, I Am, on the Cook and Wood streets roundabout near the hotel.

The project does not have unanimous support and more than 100 people have signed a petition calling for the project to be shelved until “broad community consultation”, discussion about the roundabout site, and a competition to find the best sculpture have occurred.

Patricia Macdonald, chairwoman of the sculpture committee, told the meeting the Flinders sculpture would further enhance the region’s reputation as a centre of sculpture.

“It is remarkable that there are now six major collections of contemporary Australian sculpture on the Morning-

ton Peninsula as well as the two important sculpture competitions at McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery, and Montalto Winery,” she said.

“A major piece of public sculpture on the roundabout at the entrance to Flinders will be yet another sign that this is the area to see contemporary sculpture.”

FCA member Ranald Macdonald, former editor-in-chief of The Age and managing director of David Syme and Co, said more than 40 people had pledged to cover the project’s cost, and the association had raised 9 per cent of the total at fundraising dinners.

I Am was a gift to the Flinders community, he said.

The sculpture committee originally planned to hold a competition but there is now not enough time to make the 150th deadline later this year, and An-

drew Rogers offered the committee I Am at a substantial discount. His work sells for $300,000 plus.

Sites considered included Flinders Park on Cook St opposite the hall and open space at 42 Cook St but the roundabout was chosen for its prominence and ease of obtaining planning permission from Mornington Peninsula Shire.

VicRoads has already approved the project.

Most people at the meeting agreed the sculpture, a version of one of the United Nations pieces, was “beautiful” and “amazing” but the roundabout was not the right location for many.

About 40 per cent of people at the meeting were upset the community association had presented the idea as a fait accompli. Warwick Cruise said the community had not been asked about

the sculpture or the location.

Patricia Macdonald said roundabouts around the world had sculptures but site opponents said it was inappropriate for the town’s northerly entrance.

Helen Bogdan said Flinders was a jewel, “a gentle, historic and charming town” and not all visitors would appreciate the sculpture.

Others said it was odd to have the work behind a fence at the intersection with “cars going around the roundabout in the background”.

FCA will now seek planning permission from the shire and Saturday’s meeting chairman Cr David Gibb said he would encourage planners to bring the matter before the council so people had the chance to comment.

The petition is in Flinders shops.

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 in the near future.

First, a brief history of the Stockton family, or at least the Tyabb branch. *** Part 3 The Stocktons at Tyabb Alfred Ernest Stockton Alf’s main interest in his younger days was the scouting movement. A photograph of the Holy Trinity Scout Troop taken in 1924 shows the young Alf positioned near the scoutmaster (and founder of the troop), the Reverend Alfred Banks. Alf persevered, became a King’s Scout, and on 1 July 1930 was appointed cubmaster of the 1st Hastings pack. As can be seen, the appointment was made by Imperial Headquarters in London and was signed by the Chief Scout, Lord Baden Powell. All that was left for the Chief Scout of Victoria (Lord Somers) to do was to counter-sign the appointment; not much was delegated to the colonists in those days.

Apart from scouting, Alf’s other interest was the Pedal Club, which operated in Hastings for many years.

Like a number of other Stocktons, he also served on the vestry of Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Hastings.

In later years he was a member of the Hastings Progress Association and served on the foreshore committee.

On 18 September 1935 Alf married Rosa Mabel Frances Dennett who had been born in 1913. Alf built a new house at a cost of 325 pounds on the 16-acre block that he had bought in 1928 and in due course three sons were born: Geoffrey Alfred (born in 1936), Raymond Douglas who is known universally as “Joe” (1941) and Kenneth John (1946).

In 1945, when Alf was 35 and Fred 67, an agreement was drawn up between father and son for Alf to rent the 12 acres of orchard. The agreement stated that Alf, as well as renting the orchard, was entitled to the use of horses, implements and fruit cases “as he desires”, for the sum of 75 pounds per annum, while Fred had the right to continue living in the house and to use “the few odd trees around the house and to keep poultry”.

Alf continued to plant more orchard trees and two more dams were added. When Geoff left school in 1950, the orchard was extended further. As horses had been superseded by tractors and Alf was not running cattle on the property, he pulled down

fences that had been erected in earlier days thereby enabling the tractor and implements to go between the rows.

When Alf’s second son Joe left school in 1955, he joined his father and Geoff in the orchard. At that time packing the apples was a rather primitive operation: a grader was used but, in the absence of electricity, a rotary hoe or cross-cut saw motor was used.

Prior to the grader, the apples were tipped onto a big table, sorted into size and packed from there. Alf did most of the packing, ably assisted by his wife, Rosa.

Before their marriage, Rosa packed a case of her father’s apples that won first prize in a display. That case was sent to King George V in 1932.

While the apples were being packed, Geoff would pick the fruit. In the winter he pruned the trees.

Every Wednesday, Alf brought home apples from the cool store and they would be sorted into sizes, ready for sale at Victoria Market or his own stall in Frankston at the Willard Hall where he, Rosa and, later, Geoff, would sell on a Friday.

The hall was next to Central Park, which in those days was a grass paddock with a blacksmith at one end.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The upstairs level consists of four bedrooms, one in each corner, along with an ensuite for the main bedroom as well as a family bathroom. At the top of the stairs is a pleasant sitting area. The external features are first-class and justify the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deserved ranking as one of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest properties. A huge undercover patio at the rear comes complete with Space-Ray infrared heating and overhead fans. It overlooks a luxurious in-ground pool and spa. Front and centre to the poolside is an amazing 15-square metre cinema screen with a projector that can display your favourite game or movie while you relax in the spa or pool. For drier viewing, there is a 182-centimetre LED television above the built-in bar. Also included in the chattels will be a stainless-steel barbecue and a refrigerator.

A grand symphony

Spacious floor plan

SET on an immaculate 743-square metre block in a quiet court, this light and bright family home has a spacious floor plan allowing for a separate lounge, and a formal dining area. The smart kitchen has been updated and is part of a second casual living zone incorporating a meals area and a family room. From here you can step out to a private entertaining area that can be enclosed with cafe blinds. Comforts such as ducted heating and evaporative cooling have been installed throughout the four-bedroom home. Three of the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and the larger main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. The block has been well-landscaped with established gardens.

Other external features include an extra parking bay beside the double garage for a boat or trailer, and a garden shed at the rear of the property.

IF you need a home with more room, this spacious property offers a clever floor plan with three separate living zones, so everyone can have their own space yet retain a sense of privacy. The maintenance factor is appreciatively low, with a large paved area leading from the double garage under the roofline to a second double garage at the rear of block, accounting for a large portion of the backyard space. There is a neat lawn area that will suit small pets. The main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe is set at the front of the home, along with a study and formal lounge. A tiled hallway leads into the central family zone featuring a smart kitchen with stainless-steel wall oven, and a dishwasher. Three bedrooms at the rear all have built-in robes and share a second bathroom, with a rumpus room perfect for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s console games or a home theatre.

I am one of those women who say yes to a challenge before knowing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really involved. Some may say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foolish and courting disaster but I would never have done half the things I have, if I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Adore Hair Salon ADORE Hair Care Salon in Somerville Plaza is owned and operated by Carley Bravo, who ÂżUVW RSHQHG WKH VWRUH LQ under the name Carleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cut Above Hair Salon.

The salon was sold in 2004 as &DUOH\ ZDV H[SHFWLQJ KHU ÂżUVW baby, Kobe. She then went on to have her second baby, Ameilia, in 2005.

Carley soon returned to the hairdressing industry as a teacher at Chisholm Institute.

It was also a great opportunity to DGYDQFH KHU RZQ TXDOLÂżFDWLRQV and she now holds a diploma in Salon Management.

She also undertook two years of intense teacher training to

become an accredited Pivot Point Trainer, which is the highest standard of hairdressing teaching.

After spending seven years in the teaching profession, Carley liked the idea of owning another salon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had missed the high energy of a salon and the one-on-one connection with your clients,â&#x20AC;? she said.

This year, the opportunity arose for Carley to buy back her original salon and it is now operating under the new name of Adore Hair Care Salon.

Carley is happy to have kept on Bree Morone, who was employed with the previous owners.

Carley has also put on Jamie Lee Magdziarz as an apprentice,

Hi, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Isabella and I have a passion for vintage! In July 2013 1546 Vintage was opened. Whilst bike riding past the old garage that houses 1546 Vintage I saw that it was about to become available, made an enquiry and a few months later the doors were open for business on the main street of Tyabb.

I have always had a fascination for vintage which probably began in the early 80s when I brought P\ ÂżUVW ROG ZHDWKHUERDUG KRXVH in Tyabb. I wanted to restore the house to its original condition which led me to sourcing items from a bygone era , hence a passion was born!

1546 Frankston Flinders Road, Tyabb started out as an old motor garage in the main street in 1958.

It is the perfect setting to host the vintage, retro and eclectic items on sale. We have amazing

TILLY’S AT TYABB I have always cooked, and from an early age, I always dreamed of owning a wooden tea-room. Situated in the original house behind the Tyabb Antique Centre in Frankston/Flinders Road, you truly enter another world as you wander down the pathway into the garden courtyard. You are always made to feel special with the old fashioned service that is offered, complete with a welcoming smile and greeting. All food is freshly baked and made on the premises - and if the scones

run out, a new batch will soon be in the oven.

I enjoy being involved in the community too. I’ve been a Cub Scout leader for 22 years, was involved with Frankston High School Chaplaincy Committee for 14 years, and I am currently with Dress for Success, an organisation which supports unemployed women returning to the workforce by providing work out¿ts and interview skills. I have offered Tilly’s free of charge to fundraising groups, and I am proud of my association with Biggest

Tilly’s at Tyabb BEFORE working in hospitality, Danielle Cowley ran her own nail artistry business in Australia and later in Switzerland, where her mother lives. She was also a flight attendant on a private corporate jet operated by a European investment banking group, flying between Europe, the United States, down to Bermuda, the Bahamas and Honolulu.

Caring for the needs of the bank’s chairman, president and other senior staff members honed her hospitality skills to a high standard.

Returning from Europe, she remained in hospitality, joining a busy cafe on the Gold Coast, which led to a senior position in a short period.

Training as a barista and a change of locale for her daughter’s schooling saw her join a busy cafe in Surfers Paradise, at Harbour Town shopping centre, later managing 20 staff.

On 10 October last year, she acquired Café Euro. With careful planning and bold enterprise,

Danielle has grown Cafe Euro to double its previous turnover since she took over.

She is now embarking on phase two of her expansion plans, as part Jazz Junction Cafe Group.

Danielle’s father Robert, a retired chief pilot for an international corporate airline, is helping her launch Jazz Junction.

Most food is made fresh daily by Danielle and her valued chef Leigh. Great support is provided by her key shift supervisor and assistant manager Rachel.

Their fare will soon be enjoyed with live music on Sundays, slated to begin in late March.

Danielle, who has sung at gigs in London, Las Vegas and Australia, plans to keep her vocal chords warm, entertaining customers when Jazz Junction welcomes other musical artists to Cafe Euro.

Dominion Hill Having over 35 years’ experience in retail and loving the Peninsula it seemed a natural progression to start up my own gift shop - Dominion Hill Gifts, 13 1/2 years ago.

I have been involved in various community groups throughout the years and am currently President of the Western Port Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

These pursuits led me into promoting the Western Port region, through a Visitor Information Centre, which Dominion Hill Gifts has

provided shop space to house. We established this as a Community Service with no government assistance and would not be able to achieve the success in this venture without the help of my right hand volunteer, Kris Bramston. In November last year we took out the Mayoral Excellence in Business Awards for services in the community, business, and Blue Blokes (prostate awareness) fund raising event. :KLOVW , ZDV YHU\ ÀDWWHUHG to win this award, it was

Kris Bramston and Lisa Dixon

more importantly putting our region on the map and recognising the hard work of a team of fabulous volunteers who help in the promoting of our beautiful area we choose to work, live and play in.

By Gail Loveridge of The Heritage Tavern WHEN I look back through my family history, it is peppered with women who ran their own businesses.

Often they were widowed and needed to support a young family or they simply worked on a project to meet repayments on farms. A great-grandmother ran a pub, an aunt a milkbar and another great aunt raised and sold turkeys to meet the repayments of the family soldier settlement farm.

Today women often find that the same reasons apply. They need to supplement their family income either to meet repayments or provide holidays. Often they need to find something so they can attend to their young families, remain a stay-at-home mum but run a business to bring some extra coin into the coffers. Running your own business means you can usually choose the hours worked and be readily accessible to young families.

Often the choice of a business arises from something a woman can do well and likes to do.

Muffins, cupcakes and crafting have all provided opportunities. Domestic and commercial cleaning, gardening and child-minding are all related to skills that come from running a home.

I tell young women that becoming the CEO of your home often provided skills that can later be translated to business. After all, what homemaker doesn’t know what a budget is?

My first business was looking after our farm and agisting a couple of horses for friends. I worked hard and studied everything I could.

When the farm sold, I had clients in tears about who would foal down mares or look after their beloved horses. I worked in a male dominated arena: the racing industry. I knew what it was to be referred to as the showie or the girlie in the beginning. Things changed as I won races and proved myself.

When a young trainer was bemoaning how badly his horse had spelled elsewhere, I challenged him. “Send me one horse, if you are not happy, don’t pay me.” I had his family’s horses for many years and it was a privilege to watch horses I had looked after go on and win races.

Now after being in businesses for 25 years I enjoy mentoring a few young women who are having a go. One of the things that I ask them to do is write a business plan.

Even though no one else is going to look at it, the process clarifies thoughts about the nuts and bolts of business. There are many templates on the internet.

Describe your customer, I tell them, and explain why the customer is going to come to you.

Another thing I advise is to have a separate bank account for BAS and GST. So many people have spent money that is simply not theirs and ended up in a pickle. You are minding the GST for the Tax Office; it’s not yours to spend.

Talk the talk and walk the walk. So many opportunities arise because somebody knows somebody. Women in business need to be talking about what you are doing and what is happening. This is no time to be a quiet achiever or hide your light under a bushel. Women have to learn the art of talking about their activities.

While we can talk kids and hair, we often don’t have the ability to talk business. Practice this at every opportunity.

When you are overwhelmed with work, I apply the following saying: “When you bite off more than you can chew, just keep chewing.”

Please join us at the Heritage Tavern in Balnarring on the first Friday of the month at 12.30pm. It is a networking opportunity in a small but nurturing environment. And if you are having a business meeting the Heritage is a tasteful and reasonably priced place for a coffee or light lunch.

Come and tell me about your business.

Westernport Work Gear Anne Duncan has operated Westernport WorkGear for the past 7 years, here in Hastings. She is busy - as well as running her business, she is a devoted Wife and Mother. Anne also enjoys equestrian pursuits with her daughter and is regularly involved with local Community groups. Anne recently took on an itmportant role in a voluntary capacity with the STUDIO3FITNESS opened its doors in August 2013 with the aim of bringing to the community a safe, supportive and family orientated gym for women in the Hastings district. Still in its infancy, from humble and uncertain beginnings Linda, Tina and Malene strived to create just such an environment and now boast a clientele of more than 250 members with room for more.

Eight months down the track, not content with just the 33-minute circuit training that can be done at any time, Studio3Fitness expanded its group training classes to include the exciting Les Mills Grit Cardio, Pump and Step programs, with avenues to increase this to other popular programs from the Les Mills franchise. Challenge packages are scheduled on a regular basis throughout the year for those looking to reach a goal. “Leaner, Stronger, Fitter” runs for 42 days and is producing massive results for all who participate. Specialty classes such as Thump Boxing; HITT (Tabata); Tummies, Hips & Thighs; Fitball; and Buns of Steel caters for the diverse fitness fanatic. Together with the everpopular “Wakeup Workout” mornings conducted at 6am Monday to Friday, there is definitely a time and workout routine available to suit all your needs. Also for a trial period the studio has opened its doors to include mixed group classes from 7-9pm on Mondays and 7-8pm Tuesday to Thursday in order to get that man off the couch. If these times still do not fit into your

busy schedule then Linda, Tina and Malene, as qualified Certificate IV Personal Trainers, can arrange an individual, one-on-one, hour-long PT session.

Membership packages range from Silver, Gold and Platinum on a monthly direct debit plan or you can join for as little as three or six months. Our membership is not all about locked in contracts and direct debit payments. You do not have to be a member to use our facilities, as there is the opportunity to come along to any of our standard classes or 33-minute circuit. For those who want to see results quickly, you can join in our Les Mills session for a reasonable walk-in fee. However it is advisable to book for the classes as numbers are limited. Boot camps are run every month and notification of the next location, date, time and cost can be found on our website www.studio3fitness.com.au With our growing clientele, we have increased our hours of business during the week: Monday 6am-9pm, Tuesday to Thursday 6am-8pm, Friday 6am-1pm with Saturday 8am-1pm and Sunday 9am-midday.

Trousers: the power and the glory

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

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

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

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

It was far from an isolated incident.

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

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

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

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

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

Red Hill Show on horizon

By Diane Baxter THERE is no better way to spend some leisurely fun hours than a day at the 86th Red Hill Show from 8.30am-5pm on Saturday 22 March.

There will be so much to see and do for all the family.

As well as attending the show, you can enter one of the many competition sections, including alpacas and fleece, art, black and coloured sheep, cattle, cooking, craft, dog high scramble, flowers, fruit, miniature goats, photography, poultry, rats, stud sheep, vegetables, woodchop and junior classes There are several classes in the alpaca section.

The art section includes decorating a totem pole. Poles must be no more than two metres high and 15 centimetres in diameter but can be decorated in any way – paint, mosaic, collage or other materials.

Black and coloured sheep and miniature goats also have multiple classes as do the stud sheep and cattle sections. There is also a young beef handler competition.

The cooking section ranges from plain scones to cupcakes, boiled fruit cake to gluten-free biscuits, and sausage rolls to chocolate crackles.

There is a gourmet dip championship, a noncommercial cheese section, homemade wine and jams, preserves and beverages.

Craft sections include knitting, crochet, sewing, patchwork, appliqué and quilts, embroidery, dolls and toys, spun wool, alpaca handcraft, woodwork, cut and jewelled eggs, and unspecified craft.

The flower, fruit and vegetable sections give entrants the chance to present what they have cultivated.

Photography covers from landscape to pets and animals, abstract to sport and action.

Poultry ranges from silkies to Indian runners and bantams to Rhode Island reds.

The woodchop also comes with sections.

Even the fancy rat show has different classes.

Entries in the dog high scramble will be accepted at the secretary’s area on the day of the show. This event will be held in the afternoon after Mornington Peninsula News Group Grand Parade, which starts at 2.45pm.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kangas’ unlikely bounce into final four PROVINCIAL

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sorrento finished second, Long Island third and Langwarrin fourth.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Long Island was sensational once again against Sorrento.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Shane McComb hit 34 and Dale Ir-

ving 37 to help the score to 128.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Parkers red hot favourites for flag DISTRICT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ridge opening batsman Michael

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

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

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

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

Somerville got the result it was

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

The Eagles replied with 7/174 from 34 overs.

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

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

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

side was bowled out 38 runs later for 211.

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

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

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

Michael Ballard took 3/18.

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

Western Port News 4 March 2014

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

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

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

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

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

The Buds lost their first three wickets for just 42 runs before Matty Maher and Darren Kerr came together in the middle.

Maher made 72 and Kerr 38, and the Buds made the runs (7/239) with an over to spare.

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

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

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

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

WESTERN PORT scoreboard

After hot summer, it’s a final dozen MPCA

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

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

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

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

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

Provincial Mornington v Langwarrin, Round 5.

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

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

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

Sorrento v Long Island, Round 11.

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

Long Island batted first and made

8/224, Justin Bridgeman top-scoring with 83, Paul Hartle hitting 55 and Aaron Paxton 31. C J King took 4/63 for the Sharks.

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

District Delacombe Park v Somerville, Round 10.

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

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

Pines v Main Ridge.

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

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

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

Sub-district Red Hill v Balnarring.

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

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

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

Rosebud won the toss and batted first, scoring 6/225. Darren Kerr top-scored with 86, Matty Maher hit 37 and Leigh Parslow 28. Luke Hutchison was the pick of the bowlers with 2/28. In reply, the Stonecats did things easily with two overs to spare.

Jack Greenwood opened with 75 and Jason Bedford hit 52 to help the home side to 6/229. James Magee with 3/40 off seven overs was Rosebud’s best..

Kangas nab premiership captain MPNFL

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Johnston will take on an assistant coaching role at Langwarrin.

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

Under-16s beat Mt Martha to win flag HASTINGS CC

By Greg Bradshaw HASTINGS Cricket Club’s Under-16 team has won the premiership after easily defeating Mt Martha on Sunday.

Matt Foy won the toss and chose to bat first. He opened with Brodie Prestage and they laid the foundation for a big score, putting on 70 before Prestage was bowled for a solid 25.

Archie Lobato joined Foy and they continued to keep the runs ticking over. Foy, who batted well, was out for 71 and it was 2/140 in the 36th over.

Two wickets quickly became four, then six before Lobato (63no) and Lachie Cox (7no) added 34 for the 7th wicket as Hastings reached 6/191 off its 45 overs.

Mt Martha knew it would have to bat well against the strong Hastings attack but Aaron King claimed a wicket in his second over, 1/3.

The next pair consolidated for a while before Lobato in the last over of his spell had a LBW appeal upheld, 2/29 after 12 overs.

Mason Mail took the ball with immediate success, knocking over two batsmen in his first four overs, 4/59. With the pressure mounting, shot selection became erratic and wickets fell at regular intervals.

Andrew Jeffs claimed a stumping then Luke Gray dismissed an opener for 59 and it looked like the game was effectively over. Two run-outs for the last two wickets saw celebrations erupt as Mt Martha was all for 113.

King took 2/15, Gray 2/15, Mail 2/12, Lobato 1/18 and Jeffs 1/20.

This was a rewarding win for a talented team with every player contributing to the result and brought praise for coaches Danny Jeffs and Pat Foy. The Under-14s also played Mt Martha in Sunday’s grand final. Mt Martha had a completely different side to the team Hastings played twice during the season and beat.

Mt Martha batted first, making slow but steady progress as the team reached 27 before Corbin Overton took the first wicket. The next pair combined to add another 50 runs before Cooper Dehaas broke the partnership. Then five wickets fell for only 10 runs as the Hastings bowlers got on top. Alex Walters picked up two as did Blake Mealey and it was 7/94 in the 35th over.

Mt Martha added another 37 runs to finish off impressively, making 8/131 off its 40 overs. Walters took 2/22 of 7 overs, Mealey 2/10, Overton 1/7, Ryan McNamara 1/13 off 6, Dehaas 1/5 and Thomas Finn 1/6. Pat Wilson did a good job behind the stumps for the whole innings.

Harrison Jansz and Dehaas opened the batting against some short, wayward bowling. Jansz fell on 14 and Lothian-Burdett on 28, exposing the middle order early, which couldn’t withstand the pressure and Hastings collapsed to be 8/63. Only resistance from Wilson (22no) got the side to 94 when the final wicket fell.

The boys were disappointed with the result but had a good season led

by coaches Darrell Lothian and Craig McNamara.

Firsts v Flinders: Flinders batted first, amassing an impressive 6/248 off 40 overs. The bowlers toiled hard on the small Flinders ground with Mitch Floyd taking 3/58, Tim Birch 2/41 and Luke Hewitt 1/51.

Hastings had the worst possible start as David Hull made a golden duck, 1/5. Ben King and Jake Hewitt then added 41 runs before King was caught for 36. Luke Hewitt joined

his brother and they added 38 before Luke was out for 13, 3/84.

Birch and Hewitt gave the team hope as they belted an 87-run partnership in 15 overs before Birch was bowled for 31. Hewitt’s impressive 91-ball, 85-run innings came to an end and it was pretty much game over. Floyd belted 24 but ran out of partners as Hastings fell for 211.

It was a disappointing finish to the season with three losses in the final three rounds.

The Seconds team was coming off two beltings and played Flinders, which had been in the top two all season until last week. Flinders batted first but struggled against some excellent bowling from Carey Sawosz 2/25 and Liam Bradshaw 3/25, 5/50 after 20 overs.

Flinders then batted around Gav Symes (71no) and reached 9/132 off 40 overs. Jaysen Bradshaw took 2/31, Dave Craig 1/16 and Aaron Wilson 1/29 while Greg Bradshaw had 5 dismissals with the gloves.

With batting in recent weeks being the team’s Achilles’ heel, the side was soon 4/11 with the three Bradshaws all making ducks.

Sawosz and Wilson steadied the ship, adding 61 before Sawosz was out for 24 chasing quick runs. Chris White hit a handy 18 before he and Wilson (37) were out, 8/110 in the 35th over.

Thirds opening bat Lachie Trench (25no) kept his nerve, hitting the required runs as Hastings pulled off a character-building win, also knocking

Flinders out of the finals.

The Thirds played second-placed Skye for the second time in three weeks, and were looking for a better performance than the previous game.

Skye batted first, scoring 159 off its 40 overs. Luke Gibbons made a welcome return taking 3/35, Craig McNamara took 3/38, Steven Robb 1/37 and Chris Helweg 1/29.

Hastings began its chase well before losing Robb at 28, but lost another in the next over, 2/28.

Helweg and McNamara (31) then combined for 46 runs before Helweg was out for 24.

Jason Slocombe turned back the clock as he smashed 46no and Gibbons made 25 as Hastings reached its target in only 28 overs, finishing on 5/167.

With the win the side locked in top spot on the ladder and has a home semi-final against Seaford Tigers at Hastings this weekend.

The Fourths played Main Ridge knowing all they had to do was win to finish top two. Main Ridge batted first, posting 158 off 40 overs. Kayne Lewis was again impressive with the ball taking 3/38, his dad Stephen finished with 2/34, Andrew Finn took 2/35 and Chris Marsh 3/47.

With the top order needing to find some form, Pat Foy stroked 57 and Morgan Darrer was brutal on his old club with 75 as Hastings reached 5/159 in only 25 overs. With results of other games going their way, the boys finished in first place, setting up a clash with Ballam Park next Saturday at Hastings.
