Western Port Festival 2013

Letter from the 2013 President leaders from all religions, groups and walks of life. That neighbour who is always ready to lend a hand and do a good deed without any repayment, or that stranger who stops and gives a minute to smile and ask how you are which may pick you up when you’re down, all for no reward or recognition.

And so the festival is here again. You ripper!

First and foremost, I must thank the festival’s volunteer committee for the amazing effort. Though small, our die-hard team is working around the clock with little time and lessened major sponsors to make this year’s festival a huge success!

This year’s theme being “Community Heroes” allows us to parade and honour those in our community who have given so much without reward; the ‘little people’ who day in day out sacrifice time with their families, friends, work and more to make our towns what they are, communities.

These people are almost invisible to the naked eye and yet the footprint they leave remains forever, and inspires generations to come. These include, but are not limited to, our coaches, teachers, emergency service personnel, defence force personnel, volunteers, and community

I’d like to thank the business’ involved in the running of the festival who have each cut thousands off the bill to assist with keeping or improving the high standard of our festival.

Without these business’ we would not have a festival; the majority of the stall holders for their patience in what are tough times in our community.

Fees have risen from last year for commercial stall holders and most have accepted this year’s structure without complaint or comment. That makes our job much easier.

I want to thank the ‘festival savers’ who have heard our cries for assistance and hastily jumped aboard. They can be seen on the sponsor posters

around the festival. Thanks to the local shops who are annually patient with our festival and even kind enough to put posters up.

Thanks to the teachers, students, enthusiasts, businesses, community members, services, and everyone who participates in our amazing street parade.

It is still the joy of the town.

And last but definitely not least, I thank those major sponsors, who have remained

loyal to the festival and have done so for so many years, for their kind donations. I don’t need to mention these guys as they are advertised wherever the festival is. But we appreciate it.

So come down and enjoy the weekend. Remember to play safe and keep the atmosphere bright and positive. Get your reward for being a member of our great community. A community I have enjoyed for 37 years

with many more to come.

Make use of the Western Port Community bucket run gold coin donation car parking site.

Enter at the Tennis courts and park nearer to the festival.

Sign up as a future volunteer or committee member in the Festival tent. Help us out on one of the days. Give us 2 hours of your time once a year and keep our 45 year old festival running smoothly. But more importantly, enjoy yourself as that is your thanks to us.

Western Port Festival 2013

Community Partners create new events

HISTORY

From Hastings Day to Western Port Festival The first Hastings Day celebration was a very quiet affair. It was held on the steps of the Hastings shire offices with former Australian Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies giving the address. The date was 14 October 1969, and this simple ceremony was held in conjunction with 18 other Hastings townships across the world to commemorate the 900th year of the Battle of Hastings.

The celebration continued annually on October 14, with new events added to the program each year. But then in 1978, major changes took place. The first was to change the date from October to March because the weather would be better.

The 1978 Hastings Day was not held, with the March 1979 Hastings Day becoming a resounding success. There was a street parade, a Miss Shire of Hastings quest, fireworks, woodchopping contests and rides across the weekend.

There was also a documentary created of the 1979 Hastings Day, which can be viewed at the Festival History display at the 2013 festival.

Each year, more features have been added, with the festival becoming a proud and dynamic display of all local activities.

The Shire of Hastings originally co-ordinated the festival with the support of a committee.

In 1987 the festival committee became an incorporated body, taking full control of the planning with continued

support from the Shire of Hastings. 1987 also brought a change of name to the festival: from Hastings Day to Western Port Festival.

The festival has remained as an incorporated association since then, and has grown and evolved over the years with events such as the water festival and watersports on Western Port, bands on the main stage, half day marathons, skate parties, community competitions, tug of war, field days and more.

The committee hopes to continue the traditions while adding new and exciting events in future years, while keeping the festival local and community based.

Dropin Scooters and Sealy’s Cycles who run the BMX & Scoota Party, Whip Industries and MAG with the Mini Motorbikes Shows, and Tyabb Scouts running the Free Sausage Sizzle.

With the tough times in the economy putting a strain on sponsorship, the 2013 committee had to think differently on how to make the festival as exciting as previous years, but without the commercial price tag.

What arose was a number of community groups wanting to get involved – not just in having a stall, but running their own feature events at the festival.

One by one, different community groups approached the committee with wonderful ideas, and the program began to fill up. In return, the committee decided to call these groups the “Community Partners” of the festival and gave them recognition for their in-kind efforts, alongside sponsors.

Some Community Partners have been involved for a number of years, such as

New Community Partners and their events include the Western Port Model Aircraft Club Airshow, Western Port Tourism’s display tent, Oberon Association’s Model Boat Show, Victoria Police band Code One performing on stage, South East Water and MP Kids’ childrens activities, RPP FM broadcasting the parade, and the abundance of local artisan groups who are involved in the “Communities within Community” show.

The committee and groups hope you enjoy our “back to community” atmosphere in 2013!

Food for tummies not landfills SURPLUS food from 18 supermarkets between Rye and Mordialloc will go to a notfor-profit community group that feeds needy people.

The arrangement between Woolworths supermarkets and FareShare was launched in Hastings on Monday.

It is the latest deal between Woolies and FareShare, which started in inner Melbourne in late 2008 when two supermarkets agreed to provide unsold fresh fruit, vegetables and meat to the group instead of sending it to landfill.

Dozens of stores now supply FareShare, which says it aims to serve one million meals this year.

‘Yes’ buoys sub planners

By Keith Platt A POLITICAL solution to bringing the Otama submarine ashore at Hastings may be made easier by the results of a survey of residents.

Hastings MP Neale Burgess distributed the survey last week, containing the "Yes" or "No" question of whether the submarine should be brought ashore at Hastings.

The overwhelming response so far

has been in the affirmative.

Hastings was the intended site for the Otama’s final berth when it was brought to Western Port in 2002 as a “gift” from the federal government.

However, proponents of the plan subsequently failed to get permission to use the foreshore and were eventually forced to look to Crib Point and Stony Point for a site.

The submarine now languishes at anchor off Crib Point.

The survey distributed by Mr Burgess included the disclaimer that “this question is only intended to ascertain if the Western Port community supports the Otama submarine being brought ashore as a tourist attraction and is in no way intended to take the place of the planning requirements of the various authorities”.

Mr Burgess told The News on Monday that one survey form gave a qualified “No” to the question “because

they didn’t want to see any public money spent”.

“But that’s OK, because the people involved with the Otama association have said all they want is a home for the submarine and we’ll find them one,” he said.

Mr Burgess said an earlier plan to bring the Otama ashore at Crib Point “would have killed the whole project”.

“It needs to be part of why people go to Hastings, not a destination of its

“I’ve always thought the submarine should be in Hastings, but part of a tourism precinct.

“The submarine belongs to Hastings.

In my view it was a gift to the people of Hastings and any money raised by the project will have to go to an independent body to benefit the public.”

THE Mornington Art Exhibition run by the Rotary Club of Mornington in late January raised more than $30,000 for various Rotary projects on the peninsula, nationally and internationally.

The exhibition was held at Studio @ PCT this year instead of the larger Peninsula Community Theatre, which was undergoing renovation until just a few days before the show started.

Rotary members were able to hang 750 works instead of the usual 900,

but sales were comparable to last year, Rotarian John Renowden said.

“The venue was well accepted and we had an increased number of people visit the exhibition,” he said.

President Fran Chambers said money raised would enable the club to continue to support a range of local and international projects such as the fund to eradicate polio and to provide nets to combat malaria in New Guinea.

Winners of the raffle, which raised $6000, were: First prize (Harvey World “Carnival” cruise voucher) Margaret Fallaw; second prize (Bunnings gardening package) Kris Johnston; third prize (Rose Knightdecorated bar fridge) Evette Campbell; and fourth prize (Ken Cameron’s Menswear voucher) Linda Gale.

The News was a sponsor of the exhibition along with Beleura House and Garden, and Bendigo Bank.

Girl, 17, charged after pub brawl

Picture: Tony Duboudin

A MAN from Wodonga in northern Victoria remains in intensive care at Frankston Hospital after a fishing trip with mates went horribly wrong on Friday.

A 17-year-old Hastings girl has been charged with multiple offences including affray, assault by kicking and possession of a controlled weapon following a brawl at the Kings Creek Hotel in Hastings about midnight on Friday 15 February.

Senior Constable Leonie Elliott of Hastings crime investigation unit said three men from Wodonga were on a fishing trip to Western Port and were drinking at the Kings Creek Hotel Hastings when a fight erupted.

They were allegedly assaulted by three people - two men and the 17-year-old girl.

One of the Wodonga men, aged

in his 30s, was stabbed twice in the back and was airlifted to The Alfred hospital; he was later released.

Another man, 52, received serious facial injuries and remains in intensive care at Frankston.

A third man, also in his 30s, sustained facial injuries but did not require hospitalisation.

Senior Constable Elliott said the 17-year-old Hastings girl has been bailed to appear in Frankston Children’s Court on Thursday 21 March.

Several other people have been interviewed and police investigations are continuing.

Anyone with information can contact Hastings police on 5970 7800 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Help for teenage violence families THE state government will provide $750,000 to Peninsula Health for a three-year “Keeping Families Safe” program to support families on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston who are experiencing adolescent violence.

The program is a first for Australia and aimed at reducing violence by adolescents aged 12-18 committed on par-

ents and other family members, which has doubled in Australia in the past five years. Victoria is the first state to fund a program to deal with the problem.

In 2011-12, police in Victoria were called to 4017 family violence incidents where an adolescent under 18 years was the offender, almost double the 2006 figure. Outer suburbs and regional areas consistently report high

and increasing numbers of incidents.

Adolescent violence in the home can take many forms, including physical assault, property damage and verbal abuse.

Keeping Families Safe is based on a successful American program Step Up. Jo Howard, manager of Peninsula Drug and Alcohol Program and Youth Services, said the money would enable

Peninsula Health to “develop a comprehensive, coordinated and highly supportive response to families and adolescents who use violence in the home”.

It would help adolescents stop their use of violence and address other issues they may be experiencing including alcohol and drug use, disengagement from education, and poor mental health, she said.

It was hoped the Peninsula Health service would be replicated in other states.

“One important objective will be to strengthen our working relationships with police, given they are increasingly being called to homes where violence occurs,” Ms Howard said.

Peninsula Health is this week hosting a conference on adolescent violence in the home.

New leader appointed to steer port development A FORMER military commander has been appointed chief executive officer of the Port of Hastings Development Authority.

The announcement that Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Mike Lean “will lead the development and expansion of Victoria’s second international container port” was made last week by the authority’s chairman Yehudi Blacher.

Mr Lean will take over from acting CEO Ralph Kenyon who has led the authority since it was established by the state government in January 2012.

In 2010 development of the port was taken away from the Port of Hastings Corporation and handed over by the then state Labor government to

the Port of Melbourne Authority.

The incoming Liberal government headed by Premier Ted Baillieu then established the Port of Hastings Development Authority to manage and operate the port and its development “as a viable alternative to the port of Melbourne as a container port”.

No date has been set for Hastings to actually become a container port, although tenders valued at $2.3 million were earlier this month awarded for studies described by Ports Minister Denis Napthine as aimed at providing “vital data for the development a business case by the end of 2013”.

Mr Napthine said fast-tracking the development of the Port of Hastings was a

“key priority” for the government.

“Victoria’s freight task is expected to massively increase by 2035 so we are taking action now to safeguard this industry and securing the economic future of Victoria,” he said.

Mr Blacher said Mr Lean’s appointment as CEO came at a critical time as planning for the expansion of the port “over the next 10 to 15 years gathers pace”.

He said Mr Lean had had an “outstanding career”, including as commander of the Australian VII battalion in East Timor, senior roles with Tenix Defence and most recently as head of project management and business governance (maritime) with BAE Systems.

“On behalf of the board, I am delighted to welcome Mr Lean to PoHDA and we look forward to working with him to deliver on the authority's mandate to establish the Port of Hastings as Victoria’s second international container port,” Mr Blacher said.

Mr Blacher thanked Mr Kenyon for his “leadership and commitment”.

“Since PoHDA was established a little over a year ago, Ralph has overseen the smooth transition of the authority and laid the foundations that will underpin planning for the development and expansion of the port in the future.”

Mr Blacher said Mr Kenyon would work with Mr Lean to enable a smooth transition.

Hastings misses the boat – warning

By Keith Platt NEWS of the appointment of a permanent chief executive to the development authority comes at the same time as a warning that Victoria is about to lose its status of the largest container port in the Southern Hemisphere.

“The idea that the Port of Hastings as a container port will not become a reality for another 15 – 20 years is ludicrous,” William Barber said.

Mr Barber, a marketing consultant with extensive experience in the maritime industry, said Melbourne was destined to become a “regional container port”, overtaken by upgraded ports in Brisbane and Port Botany.

“This will soon downgrade Victoria to provincial port status,” he said.

Mr Barber said development of the port at Hastings was being “drip fed” and “choked of funds”

by both state and federal governments.

“The new Port of Hastings Development Authority can do little if it is starved of funds. Its operations seem to be run on little more than government pocked money.”

Mr Barber estimated the state had five years to go before ships heading to Australia would be too large to be handled at Melbourne ports.

The government would “need to start building infrasturcture now” if Western Port was to be seen as an alternative destination.

“Looking at this and that [recent studies announced by Ports Minister Denis Napthine] is not going to build a port.

“We’re just giving money to consultants who don’t live in this town.

“People think the government is doing something but we lose 15 months every time nothing is

committed in the state budget. The realities of the Port of Melbourne as a next generation large container port is stymied by restrictions in the Yarra River and the inability to swing ships of that size in the turning basin.”

Mr Barber said Western Port had none of the restrictions caused by Port Phillip’s narrow, shallow shipping channels.

He said it could quickly become “a reality … with appropriate land infrastructure and a small amount of berth dredging”.

“New container ships which are unable to access the Port of Melbourne are already in service.

If Melbourne is to retain its current container status, the window of opportunity is not 20 years, it’s only five.”

Mr Barbour said bringing tugs servicing Bass Strait oil and gas rigs to western Port would pro-

A team for cleaning crime and grime

By Terri Lee Fatouros NEXT time you are doing dreary housework, spare a thought for Sandra Pankhurst.

While you might be washing your kitchen floor, Ms Pankhurst could be leaving her Frankston home knowing she will soon be mopping up blood-soaked carpets, scrubbing gorestained decks or removing gruesome remains.

She specialises in cleaning up places where there may have been a murder or other crimes, a sudden death, neglect, fire, flood, pet hoarding or an elderly person living in squalor.

After working for years as a lab technician and a funeral director, Ms Pankhurst decided she needed a change after burying a close friend.

“It became too personal for me. My dearest and best friend died and I had to bury her,” she said.

However, being a funeral director had made her aware that people wrongly assumed that police, fire brigade or ambulance service officers cleaned up after any traumatic situation.

After lengthy discussions and research, she and her husband Alfred – who has since died – launched Specialised Trauma Cleaning Services in the early 1990s.

Ms Pankhurst has many similarities to her late husband’s great ancestor Emmeline (or Emily) Pankhurst, the leader of the suffragette movement in early 20th century Britain advocating women’s right to vote. Over the years

Clean-up time: Sandra Pankhurst is ready for anything when her specialised cleaning company gets a call. Picture: Yanni

Sandra Pankhurst has run for local government, sat on committees, raised money while chairperson of Sandringham Red Cross and headed the North Brighton Chamber of Commerce.

Her love of community and helping needy people along with her past expertise brings a unique professionalism to the business of trauma cleaning.

With 10 full-time staff trained by Jenco Dyco – a school for crime scene, trauma cleaning, carpet cleaning, hoarding, meth and lab work, fire and flood damage and all types of restorative work – Ms Pankhurst and her team suit up wearing masks, double gloves, boots, hairnets and breathing apparatus.

“I guess you have to be somewhat

macabre to be in this business,” she said. “In order to deal with it you are forever playing Sherlock Holmes and trying to figure out how this happened or why that happened.

“With murder, suicide or death situations, the body is always removed before we go in, but what is left for my team to clean up can be rather gruesome.”

Ms Pankhurst graphically describes an awful tale of cleaning up after a body had decomposed in an upstairs flat, with bodily fluids seeping through the downstairs ceiling.

Her team had to make the building biologically safe before the flooring could be replaced.

Unlike most cleaners, Ms Pankhurst’s team uses saws, hammers, chisels and spades as well as biological solutions and sanitisers.

“You can forget your everyday cleaners for this type of work,” she said.

“Properties have to be cleaned correctly as bio-fluids can seep into undetected places or dangerous chemicals from a meth lab will affect the long-term health of occupants if not detected and properly removed.

“Our work is like a scene from a CSI TV show as we use ultraviolet light to search for invisible toxins and fluids.”

One job involved cleaning a onebedroom flat where a woman had been living with four guinea pigs, three rabbits, two cats and two dogs.

“There was food, faeces, urine, rats, bugs and mess everywhere,” Ms Pankhurst said.

“Wall-to-wall, filthy clothes, bedding and towels were strewn everywhere and most had to be thrown away due to mould and contamination. The place stunk.

“In extreme situations such as this, the RSPCA is called in due to breaches of environmental guidelines along with council environmental officers to work out the best form of action.

“Life circumstances can affect all of us, so one must never judge.”

Ms Pankhurst finds hoarders “the most intriguing lot” as they are often cunning and clever, not letting their family or friends inside their home.

“They usually pretend they have a busy lifestyle and often suggest meeting friends down the street. It’s only after they die that family or friends get a real look at how they lived.”

Ms Pankhurst says she is able to detach herself from unpleasant situations.

She finds helping people organise their lives and getting them back on track after trauma, illness or death and giving them a clean, sanitised house is “extremely gratifying”.

“I guess the point of difference with my team is that we really do have compassion, care and dignity for the people involved. Anyone can be a cleaner but not everyone can be sympathetic to the situation at hand in a professional and empathic manner.”

Roundabout no way to solve five-way traffic problem

Top storey: Fire caused by a lightning bolt destroyed the top floor of a unit in Hastings.

Blaze follows lightning strike FIRE broke out in the second storey of a unit in Hastings on Thursday after being hit by a lightning bolt.

The occupant of the King St unit was not at home during the short but intense thunderstorm.

Fire crews from Hastings were forced to retreat from the blazing unit when the ceiling started to collapse.

“After the arrival of Bittern and Hastings tanker, crews again managed to gain entry to the building after the

roof had collapsed and no longer posed a threat to fire fighter safety,” brigade administrative support officer Andrew Bartels said.

“The fire was shortly extinguished and crews mopped up any remaining hot spots, as well as help remove some valuables that had survived.”

Mr Bartels said that although damage to the building was extensive fire crews were able to protect surrounding properties.

HASTINGS MP Neale Burgess has called for a halt on plans to ease traffic problems at a five-way intersection at Balnarring.

Before the 2010 state election Mr Burgess criticised the then Labor state government for not building a roundabout at the intersection of FrankstonFlinders Rd with Stumpy Gully, Balnarring and Balnarring Beach roads.

Since his own party, the Liberals, came to power Mr Burgess has been told by VicRoads that a roundabout is impractical.

"I will work with the community, VicRoads and council to come up with a solution to the issues created by the intersection; but without creating further problems for Balnarring residents and families,” Mr Burgess said.

"My preference remains for a roundabout. However, if the experts are correct and this cannot be done, we will have to come up with something that can be done, that fixes the problems and doesn't interfere with Balnarring residents and families.

“VicRoads have advised that for an effective roundabout to be installed in the Balnarring intersection the clusters of trees on both sides of the road would have to be removed and even then the setbacks would be hard up against the doorstep of the church.”

He said the ultimate solution might be some road realignment and “maybe more clearer signage”.

Mr Burgess said a suggestion by

Home messenger: David Gill delivers flyers questioning pre-election promises of Hastings MP Neale Burgess.

VicRoads for traffic signals had been rejected by residents who were also opposed to bans on right hand turn in and out of Stumpy Gully Rd. “During the past few weeks I have been contacted by residents that would be negatively impacted by the changes to the intersection proposed by VicRoads,” Mr Burgess said.

“I immediately contacted [Mornington Peninsula Shire] Council and VicRoads and asked that all work be put on hold until a consultation process with all Balnarring residents can be undertaken.”

Former Shire of Mornington councillor and shire president and now Balnarring Beach resident David Gill claims Mr Burgess has not had enough contact with residents over the issue.

In a flyer letterboxed around Balnarring Mr Gill says he is “astonished to find that BBRA (Balnarring Beach Residents Association) were the only group consulted and that an attempt was made to dramatically change the roads concerned without consulting residents”.

“For months before the last state election Neale Burgess, our local MP, had a huge sign on the Frankston Flinders Rd saying ‘Mr Brumby where is our roundabout?’, referring to the dangerous and confusing five-way intersection in Balnarring,” Mr Gill stated.

He said the residents association had “pushed for a roundabout, or even two smaller roundabouts, but Mr Burgess was adamant and it was agreed to try the cheaper road treatments”.

Man injured and dog killed in vicious attack HASTINGS detectives have appealed for witnesses to a vicious assault in Hodgins Rd on Friday night.

A 43-year-old Hastings man was seriously injured and his dog was killed when he was attacked by three people near Constantine Way about 9.30pm.

Senior Constable Leonie Elliott of Hastings crime investigation unit said the attackers – two males and one female, all aged in their late teens were riding motorbikes along Hodgins Rd when they encountered the victim, who was walking his dogs.

Police believe there was a short verbal altercation before the man was attacked by the trio armed with a wooden fence post and a metal pole.

One of his dogs, a brown mini fox terrier-Jack Russell cross was kicked

and killed; the other dog, a golden retriever, ran away. It was subsequently found unharmed.

The attachers fled on their motorbikes and were seen riding west along Hodgins Rd. It is believed they were wearing helmets.

The injured man was taken to Frankston Hospital where he underwent surgery for serious facial injuries on Sunday.

He remains in hospital in a stable but serious condition.

Senior Constable Elliott said police had interviewed one witness but she appealed for further information from the public.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or who may have information can contact Hastings police on 5970 7800 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Text for help on trains – MP DUNKLEY MP Bruce Billson has suggested threatened Frankston line train travellers should be able to text protective service officers (PSOs).

“The SMS service used to report anti-social behaviour at the footy works well in making sure people feel safe, while keeping in check those who want to make life uncomfortable for people around them,” Mr Billson told Parliament.

“While there are a low number of incidents on our trains reported to police, unfortunately a few bad eggs on the trains lead to people feeling unsafe without necessarily breaking the law.

“Being able to send a discreet text message, rather than make an audible phone call or push the red emergency button may be a better way for people to report abuse, intimidation or alcohol-affected out-of-control nuisances.”

PSOs started patrols at Frankston station last August and at Carrum in January this year. Frankston was the 13th station to get PSOs. The state government plans to have 940 deployed throughout the state by November 2014.

Mr Billson said the PSOs, once

alerted, could coordinate their response “and check in on the issue after receiving the SMS report”.

He hoped a telecommunications company would offer to back a trial of the text warning system.

Cyclist tracked

Field work: Dolphin Research Volunteer Evatt Chergwin and research director Sue Mason with equipment used for observing dolphins from coastal observation points. The theodolite tracks the movements of dolphins and their interactions with vessels.

THE lure of a free run home proved costly for a cyclist caught using Peninsula Link freeway.

Closed-circuit television cameras recorded footage of the man cycling in the emergency stopping lane of the freeway each afternoon for several days, making it easy for Peninsula Link administrators and police to collude in his capture in Frankston.

Leading Senior Constable Ross Randall of Frankston highway patrol said Peninsula Link staff alerted police to the man’s pattern of travel so that police were able to head him off at the Skye Rd exit of Peninsula Link about 4pm.

The 64-year-old Frankston man was fined $282 for unlawful use of the emergency stopping lane and warned to stick to bike paths and suburban roads.

Volunteers help dolphin research

By Jeff Weir EVATT Chergwin wanted to help make a difference for our bays and also learn new skills so about a year ago he became an active volunteer with the Dolphin Research Institute.

He now works with other volunteers assisting the DRI’s research director Sue Mason in the field and the Hastings office.

The volunteers help to sort through more than 50,000 images of dorsal fins to identify individual dolphins using the unique nicks and markings on the fins, like “fin prints”.

Volunteers help the institute in many ways. During January they

helped with community education programs, talking to families on beaches, preparing for events, managing community from contributing to the DRI’s work and from the opportunity to learn and experience new things. The institute is keen to

recruit more volunteers to assist with research, education, administration and fundraising. They are also needed to help with the 2013 Walk For Western Port in May and to help distribute collection tins to shops.

A volunteer information night will be held at the Institute’s centre in the Western Port Marina in Hastings at 7.30pm on Tuesday 5 March. To become involved, call DRI on 1300 130 949 or visit www.dolphinresearch. org.au Jeff Weir is executive director of the Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute.

Phone problems dog fire and flood areas ANALYSIS

By Mike Hast INADEQUATE mobile phone coverage in disaster-prone regions from Victoria to Queensland is putting lives at risk.

The news follows the revelation earlier this month of problems on the Mornington Peninsula, brought to public attention by a senior CFA volunteer.

In a letter to federal MP Greg Hunt, Peninsula Fire Brigades Group officer Tony Brown said “poor to non-existent” mobile phone coverage in the region meant people might not receive bushfire warnings (“Doubt on fire text alerts”, The News, 12/2/13).

Mr Brown said increase in summer tourists and campers meant local roads “would struggle to cope with a mass evacuation” and leave people potentially trapped with no mobile communication.

Mr Hunt raised the matter in parliament on 7 February and now residents in other parts of southern and eastern Australia have joined a chorus criticising inadequate mobile phone coverage.

The problem is made worse during summer when visitors flock to key holiday destinations, putting pressure on mobile networks.

Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula and Surf Coast are among areas where phone drop-outs occur frequently during summer.

Peninsula firefighters say pressure on the network continues right through the day and is not relieved until as late as 10pm.

Doubts over the accuracy of mobile network coverage maps compound the problem.

Residents in communities at risk of fire, flood or storms say maps published by telecommunications companies do not match reality.

Mr Hunt reportedly criticised mobile phone companies for providing maps that could lead people to think coverage extended into areas at risk.

“Any map that claims full coverage on the peninsula is false and misleading,” he said.

Telstra and Optus refuted the claims, saying their maps were accurate.

But coverage and capacity are not the same.

About 2.4 million day-trippers visit the peninsula each year with the majority in summer.

The rise of the smartphone has added to the problem. Smartphones like iPhone, Galaxy and HTC use far more bandwidth than so-called feature phones, some of which have stripped down web browsers.

Smart or super phones are used more and more by people surfing the web, checking Facebook and watching YouTube and other videos online, for example.

Tablet computers such as Apple’s iPad have sent data use even higher. They use even more bandwidth because of their larger screens.

Residents agitating for better phone coverage

stretch from the Great Ocean Road in southern Victoria to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, which was flooded earlier this year.

The federal and state governments would be well advised to put pressure on mobile phone

carriers to improve coverage in key holiday and rural areas before phone drop-outs cause far more than inconvenience (and higher phone bills as users are forced to redial a number that dropped out midway through a call).

Govt reviews councils’ rate structure THE state government could force local councils to change their rating systems after it completes a review of differential rates.

The government is seeking the views of Victorians before it issues new guidelines to councils.

Mornington MP David Morris, chairman of the differential rates ministerial committee, said there had been “a significant increase in the use of differential rates and in the inconsistency of their application, raising a number of community concerns”.

“The Local Government Act 1989

previously provided councils with insufficient guidance regarding the application of differential rates,” he said.

“Councils could levy differential rates as long as the highest rate was not more than four times the lowest, was calculated using capital improved value, and contributed to the council’s efficient and effective operation.”

Mr Morris encouraged peninsula ratepayers, councils and other interested organisations to participate in the statewide consultation process.

“The coalition government is committed to helping guide councils on the

equitable and appropriate application of rates, while making it easier for ratepayers to understand how council rates are applied,” Mr Morris said.

Many councils, including Mornington Peninsula Shire, charge different rates.

The shire brought in a higher rate for owners of vacant residential land two years ago. Owners pay 20 per cent more than the general rate “to ensure that owners … make an equitable financial contribution to the cost of carrying out the functions of council”, the shire said.

Owners of heritage properties get a rebate of between 12.5-25 per cent and landowners who undertake environmentally sustainable improvements to properties of two hectares or more receive a “land sustainability rebate”.

Owners of farmland are charged about one-third of the general rate.

There are about 1100 property owners on the farm land rate.

In June 2009, the shire said “granting a differential rate to one sector transfers the rate burden to other sectors of the community”.

Fast food trip proves costly

BlueScope loss a ‘glimmer of hope’

A 25-year-old Frankston woman had her car impounded after she was clocked at 140kph in an 80kph zone early on Sunday on FrankstonFlinders Rd, Hastings.

Police said the woman was intercepted in the car park of a fast food restaurant on High St, to which she had allegedly sped for a snack about 3.30am.

Her driver’s licence was immediately suspended when she recorded a blood alcohol level of 0.157 per cent and her car was seized for three months under hoon laws.

Police said she would be charged on summons with traffic and drink driving offences.

Food for tummies not landfills Continued from Page 5

FareShare vice-president Sandy Dudakov said the organisation had since 2001 “given away healthy, nutritious meals to the hungry and the homeless in Victoria, using food donated by businesses”.

“By rescuing food that would otherwise be wasted, ending up in landfill, we do our bit for the planet by helping to cut methane pollution and reducing demand for new food products,” he said.

FareShare volunteers will collect food from outlets in Rye, Rosebud, Rosebud West, Hastings, Somerville, Baxter, Mornington, Mornington East, Mt Eliza, Frankston, Langwarrin, Karingal, Seaford, Carrum Downs, Patterson Lakes, Chelsea and Mordialloc.

It will be used to make meals distributed throughout Melbourne and Victoria by more than 300 charities.

At the launch, federal MP Greg Hunt, whose electorate covers most

of the peninsula, congratulated Woolworths for its continued support of FareShare.

The good news was a break for Woolies, which, along with its great supermarket rival Coles, is being investigated by Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for allegedly engaging in improper practices to force down prices from suppliers.

Woolies and Coles control about 70 per cent of Australia’s grocery spending and have been accused of using bullying tactics against food and grocery suppliers.

About 50 suppliers have contacted the ACCC after it promised to protect their identities, formalising complaints that have been circulating unofficially for years.

The two supermarket chains last year recorded combined revenue of more than $70 billion.

BLUESCOPE Steel has posted a net loss of $12 million for the six months ending in December, providing a glimmer of hope for the embattled steelmaker. For the same period in 2011, the company lost $530 million.

The result is a sliver of good news for the Western Port region and wider southeast after another painful round of job losses in mid-January.

BlueScope announced on 14 January it would shed 170 works from its own payroll and from contractors working at its Hastings plant.

In October 2011, the company closed its Western Port hot strip mill, one of two metal coating plants and retrenched 270 BlueScope and contractor workers after posting an annual loss of more than $1 billion. It later sold its steel-carrying ship Iron Monarch.

The company’s managing director, Paul O’Malley, yesterday (Monday) said BlueScope could make a small profit in the second half of the financial year.

He said the firm would launch its new generation Zincalume product mid-year.

BlueScope has upgraded two metal coating lines (Nos 4 and 6) at Western Port to produce what it says is the next generation of Zincalume and Colorbond steel products.

Paul O’Malley said BlueScope was experiencing stronger demand in the United States but weaker demand in China.

The company has just won its first order in Russia for a prefabricated steel building, which will be supplied from the US. “For the first time in four years we’re looking at reporting a profit,” Mr O’Malley said. “We have turned the business around. The foundation is there for growth.”

BlueScope shares jumped 12.5 per cent to $4.24.

VENDOR TESTIMONIAL To Sean and the staff at Baywest Hastings,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife and I would like to highly recommend Sean Crimmins. We are clients of Sean who recently sold a home for us in Hastings. I was particularly keen to employ a local estate agent, rather than a huge conglomerate company, and this turned out to be the right choice as Sean knows the area well, having lived in it all his life. From our initial meeting we took an instant liking to Sean with his friendly, positive DQG FKHHUIXO GLVSRVLWLRQ $ PDMRU IDFWRU IRU XV LQ FKRRVLQJ 6HDQ ZDV WKDW DIWHU RXU ÂżUVW enquiry he followed us up and kept in touch, whereas agents of other companies did not.

This diligence and follow up set the tone for the high quality of care and attention we received right throughout the process until settlement. Sean was always prepared to go the extra mile and also assisted us with arranging house cleaning, rubbish removal and lawn mowing. Our property was well-advertised and professionally presented on the internet with excellent photos. An even more pleasant surprise was that our home sold at a much higher price than anticipated. Strong evidence again of Sean on the case and I have no doubt due to his diligence, commitment, hard work, consistency and excellent negotiating skills.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Jackson’s injury a mystery. Hedge fire in Frankston causes excitement.

Compiled by Cameron McCullough From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 February 1913.

AN important sale will be conducted

by Mr W. A. Korner on Wednesday, 5th March, at Dromana, when he will sell the land, stock, implements, and household furniture of Mr Samuel Shergold, who is leaving the district. *** THE young man Jackson, who was so seriously injured some time ago while proceeding from Frankston to ‘Moondah’ on horseback is, we are pleased to state, making satisfactory progress towards recovery. The affair however is a complete mystery as Jackson, contrary to expectations, has no idea whatever as to what happened on that eventful day. *** THE Market Gardeners held their 30th annual picnic at Mornington on Wednesday. About 1800 came by the PS Weeroona and 800 by special train.

A grand programme of sports was run through, and dancing was in full swing all the afternoon. The music was supplied by Reilly’s brass band.

The weather was nice and cool, and many people of the surrounding districts journeyed to Mornington, there being altogether over 3000 people on the ground. The boat left at 5.30 and the train at 6.20. *** AN advertisement appears elsewhere of an “American Tea” to be given by Mrs C. Maxwell, at “Tally Ho.” on Wednesday afternoon next. The proceeds are in aid of the Vicarage Fund of St. Paul’s Church, Frankston. The public are invited, but everyone is expected to bring a gift, ready marked

for sale, and also buy a gift. There will be attractions in the shape of shootinggallery, nail driving, etc. Mrs Maxwell is kindly providing afternoon tea. *** ON Wednesday evening, 12th, the quarterly meeting of the Loyal Somer ville Lodge was held at the lodge rooms. After the business of the lodge was finished the room was open to the public and an address was delivered by Dr Griffith on the interesting topic of the miracles of modern medicine and surgery. An attentive audience listened with interest to the lecture which was followed by intelligent comment by several gentlemen present. Lectures of this nature are conducive to the harmony and popularity of the lodge and it is hoped that others will follow in the near future. *** FRANKSTON was again thrown into an state of excitement on Sunday evening last, when, for the third time within a month, the firebell was heard to ring. This time the outbreak proved to he in the park hedge, near Mr W. Richardson’s residence. Mr Richardson was the first to see the fire,

and he promptly rang the bell. In a few minutes the firemen, under Capt.

McComb, were on the scene and it was their promtitude which stopped what may easily have been a serious fire. Axes were procured, and a gap cut in the hedge in the direction the fire was travelling, and when the gap was reached, branches were brought to bear, and the fire beaten out. In all about a chain of the hedge was destroyed. *** THE goods traffic is so increased on the Somerville line that the engine has occasionally to return for part of its load. *** THE Somerville tennis players ran up against a visiting town team that knew more about the game than themselves.

Nevertheless, a very pleasint day was spent, the members of the local club providing refreshments. *** THE erection of the Somerville cooperative packing shed is proceeding rapidly and Mr Fred Murray is the amiable manager. *** THE chief steward on a White Star ocean liner is responsible for the statement that only one quarter as much liquor is sold to passengers on his ship nowadays as was sold ten years ago.

From this it will be seen that King Alcohol is losing his empire on the sea as well as on the land. *** LARGE quantities of fruit are being despatched from Somerville to the oversea markets. The various consignments were for Hamburg, Copenhagen and other continental centres, besides

English ports. The crop of apples is heavy this season, and consequently larger quantities must be sent out of the State. *** WE regret to have to announce the death at Frankston, on Saturday last, of Mrs W. Staack, wife of Mr W. Staack, of Swan Street Richmond, from consumption. The deceased lady, who came from America about 15 years ago, was well known in Frankston. having been living here a number of years for the benefit of her health. Her husband, who is in business in Richmond, is also well known in Frankston and heartfelt sympathy is felt for him in his sad bereavement. The funeral took place on Monday, the body being interred in the Frankston cemetery.

The Rev G. A. Kitchen officiated at the graveside. *** MASTER Edgar Thornell, who went up to the Continuation School some two years ago, has just achieved a great success in winning a scholarship which gives him a years schooling in a High School course of training at the training school, which is equal to three years study. We congratulate Master Edgar, and hope many more from the local State School may bring honor to their teacher and the township. *** A VERY pleasant gathering took place at the seaside residence of R. Sullick Esq., Melrose, Frankston, on the 16th inst. Mrs T. E. Andrew had prepared a banquet in honor of the new craft, Saucy Kate, which was successfully erected by Mrs W. Montgomerie, of Bendigo and Sellick, of Frankston and Richmond. Mr T. E. Andrew, of Ben-

digo, in a breezy little speech presented the above, on behalf of the residents of Arthur Street, with two very handsome Victorian Maltese Crosses with seals attached and bronze medallions, and also sealed address of merit signed by prominent citizens of Frankston.

The presentation came as a great surprise to the recepients and they were too overcome to respond, and called Mr J. B Andrew, of Melbourne to respond on their behalf. Numerous apologies of absence were received from prominent citizens. The launching of the Saucy Kate was performed

by Mrs T. E. Andrew, who in a neat little speech cut the cord and smashed a bottle of wine over the punt’s bows, and namedl her the Saucy Kate. There is no doubt that the Saucy Kate will be a decided acquisition to the craft now on the Kananook Creek. She will he berthed at the foot of Arthur Street for the present. The Victorian Crosses, medallions and sealed addresses will be on view at Brody and Mason’s for a few days. *** AT Sorrento Court before Messrs Cohen PM, Cane, Morgan, Cash and Macfarlane, J’s.P., George Murphy, of Portsea, was proceeded against for failing to have his child vaccinated.

Defendant pleaded guilty, and was fined £2.

Children’s Court: A boy 14 years of age, was proceed against by Const.

Brennan for larceny of a gold watch and 8s in silver, from a bathing box on Back beach on the 21st of January last.

Defendant pleaded guilty. Sentence was suspended for 3 months on defendant’s father giving an undertaking that he would be of good behaviour.

In remembrance of waistlines past

By Stuart McCullough SENSIBLE, balanced; not too little and not too big. Medium. Like the last bowl of porridge in the Three Bears’ freshly renovated inner city townhouse, there’s something about the term ‘medium’ that sounds just right.

For years, medium was my friend.

Something I could rely on. But without even realising it, medium and I have – in a very real sense – grown apart.

I’ve no idea how it happened. One minute, a medium T-shirt hangs as loosely as a peg-less tent. The next, you look like Bill Bixby in the early stages of turning into the Hulk. I can no longer select medium clothing as a matter of right. I now have to try things on. This has taken me to places I never thought I’d go – namely department store changing rooms.

There ought to be some kind of international standard when it comes to changing rooms. It’s like stepping into a shower but with more mirrors.

Or a telephone booth without an actual telephone. But what they lack in showerheads and old-school phones, they more than make up for with mirrors and harsh lighting. The mirror/ lighting combination seems designed to highlight every flaw, no matter how slight. For those of us who spend precious little time staring at ourselves in the mirror, it comes as something of a shock to see a befuddled and slightly inflated version of yourself blinking back from the mirror face.

I’ve never considered myself to be a ‘large’. For years, it was a size I thought was reserved for those who need the fire brigade to extract them from their first floor apartment. These days, ‘large’ is the thin end of a really big wedge. There are a host of sizes

PAGE 28

that lie beyond it. There’s extra large, extra extra large and extra cubed infinity plus one large. This is a hopeless situation and bound to cause confusion. But like many things in this life, Bruce Willis has the answer.

In 1988, Bruce starred in a film called Die Hard. In the movie, New York City policeman John McLane finds himself pitted against a German terrorist mastermind so fiendishly brilliant that he has an English accent.

The film spawned a litter of sequels: Die Harder, Die Hard with a Vengeance and Live Free or Die Hard as well as a Broadway musical, A Die

Western Port News 19 February 2013

Hard Day’s Night. Using the Bruce Willis sizing method, we could have ‘large’, ‘die larger’ and ‘die large with a vengeance’. If that sounds morbid, die is the German word for the. Although The Hard would certainly be a lousy name for a movie, Die Hard is no stroke of genius either.

Despite the fact that I’m now gaining a level of unstoppable momentum towards, if not ‘die large with a vengeance’ then at least plain old regular ‘large’, I am yet to give up my medium dreams. My wardrobe is stuffed full of trousers that I am unlikely to ever wear again. They are, in effect,

a remembrance of waistlines past, artifacts of a time that is gone and will never return. But despite this, I cannot bring myself to throw them away. I cling to a hope that is now more slender than I’ll even be that I will, once more, be able to slip into the trousers of my youth. That the pants in question are of the acid wash variety is a fair indicator as to how long it’s been.

It’s all a sign of getting older. Young people today now look younger than ever. When I see a P-plater, I see someone who barely looks old enough to travel in the front, much less take hold of the wheel. It doesn’t seem

like so long ago that I lined up to enter nightclubs and hotels. Now the idea of lining up to gain entry to somewhere with overly loud music and overpriced drinks sounds like a fundamental abuse of human rights and a potential breach of the Geneva Convention.

Music today often sounds like a dispute between a heart rate monitor and a metal detector. Worst of all, I find my standards are slipping.

Once I would have mocked reality television as a device intended only to highlight the worst humanity has to offer. Which, of course, it is. But now, rather than mocking these programs, I find myself hopelessly addicted to anything involving cooking, home renovation or singing. This is in spite of that fact that I watch these shows largely through my fingers after they attach themselves to my face in horror.

If these themes were combined into a single program, chances are I’d never leave the house. These are not the actions of a ‘medium’ person. Indeed, it appears that I have become extreme.

Once I was ‘medium’ in every regard. It was how I ordered my steaks, my coffee and all my apparel. It wasn’t merely a size. More a state of mind. One that freed me from having to think too much about things I regarded as trivial. No more. So if my belts are now solely decorative in nature, what of it? The time has come to surrender. To abandon the slacks whose value has long only been historical. Maybe I’ll order a steak that’s rare or well done. Perhaps order a take away coffee in a container that looks like a bucket with the handle removed.

It’s time to mix it up. Medium has served me well, but the time has come to move on. www.stuartmccullough.com.au

Mountains of Easter fun at Red Hill Show EASTER is looming large on the horizon and one of the key events in the region is the Red Hill Show.

The 85th show is from 8.30am-5pm on Easter Saturday 30 March at the Red Hill Recreation Reserve.

A show spokeswoman said: “There will be so much to see and do for all the family at this iconic event, but had you thought about entering one of the many sections?

“The sections are: alpacas and fleece, art, black and coloured sheep, cattle, cooking, craft, dog high scramble, flowers, fruit, photography, poultry, rats, sheep, vegetables, woodchop, and junior classes.

“Within the alpaca section there are a number of classes. The conditions of entry and information is available by looking at a link through the show’s website.

“Art – have you ever decorated a totem pole? Get the children involved in this fun project. Totem poles must be no more than two metres high and 15cm in diameter and can be decorated in any way – paint, mosaic, collage or other imaginative materials.

“Black and coloured sheep have a number of classes, aas does the stud sheep, and within the cattle section there is a young beef handler competition for young people aged 10 to 21.

“Cooking – where to start? From plain scones to mud cake, decorated wedding cakes to gluten-free biscuits, sausage rolls to plum pudding, there are many classes to enter.

“There is a gourmet dip championship, a non-commercial cheese section, a homemade wine

Indian runners, bantams Rhode Island red and many more.

“A fancy rat show will also attract entries in different classes.”

Information about all categories is available through the show’s website: www.redhillshow.org “There are also endless opportunities for young people to enter with classes ranging in age from 5-18 years. Look for the junior classes schedule on the website or email redhillshow@hotkey.net.au “The ever-popular woodchop has a number of classes. Look for the different categories in the woodchop schedule or call the show office on 5989 2357 for an entry form.

“Entries in the dog high scramble will be accepted at the secretary’s office on the day of the show. This event will be conducted in the

section as well as jams, preserves and beverages.

“There is also the opportunity for people with a disability to enter.

“Craft opens up opportunities for many people with categories including knitting, crochet, sewing, patchwork, appliqué and quilts, embroidery, lace tatting, dolls and toys, spun wool, alpaca handcraft, woodwork, cut and jewelled eggs and unspecified craft.

“People with a disability are encouraged to enter.

“Flowers, fruit and vegetable sections give entrants the chance to present what they have lovingly cultivated over time.

“Photography – from landscape to pets and animals; abstract to sport/ action and many other classes.

“Poultry categories include silkie,

afternoon at the conclusion of The News Grand Parade.

“With all the different features within the sections and classes, make a decision now as to which category you are going to enter.

“Please check the closing date on each schedule as no late entries will be accepted.

“The show promises an exciting day packed with entertainment, displays, rides, stallholders and more.”

Tickets details: Family (2 adults and 3 children 6-18 years) $50; adult $15, children (6-18 years) $10, and pensioners and students $10. Children 5 years and under are admitted free.

Baxter’s McComb bashes a quickfire 144 PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully BAXTER opener Shane McComb smashed one of the best hundreds seen in MPCA Provincial cricket in some time on Saturday again Ballam Park.

Batting for fewer than 30 overs, McComb belted 144 in a blistering knock that saw his team pass Ballam Park at the 20 over mark.

While McComb was smashing the bowling at one end, Darren Uccello was holding up the other end, finishing the day unbeaten on 34.

When McComb was out to Steven Burns and Leigh Paterson fell cheaply, Todd Quinn came to the crease and belted a quickfire 46. He remains unbeaten at the crease.

Baxter finished the day batting 32 overs and will resume at 2/235 this Saturday.

Earlier, Sam Wolsgrove snared five wickets to help the reisgning pemier bowl out the Knights for 164 in 43 overs.

Anthony Joel top scored for Ballam Park with 71, while Matty Roach hit 27.

Sorrento has plenty of work to do in its match against Heatherhill after the Hills put together a more than respectable 260.

Despite Sorrento star all-rounder Anthony Blackwell taking 5/88, the Hills top order was impressive, the openers, Dean Shaw and Jack Woods, putting on 134 for the opening stand.

Shaw made 70 and Woods, in only his second Provicial First XI game, helped himself to 64.

Randil Gamage was another new name to the First XI for the Hills and he managed to score 44, highlighting

that there is a bit of depth at the club.

Mt Eliza may have only scored 175 in 71.3 overs on Saturday but it is still a good chance to pick-up a win against Crib Point.

The Mounties have an extremely impressive bowling outfit and can quite easily defend this target.

As it is, the Pies needed to face just three overs before stumps and they lost opener Matty Blake.

The Pies will resume this week at 1/8.

Earlier, its bowlers were able to do the job on the Mounties.

Part-timer Henry Dolphin bowled 19 overs and was the pick of the Magpies’ bowlers, snaring 4/23. His spell included 10 maidens.

Luke Herrington also led from the front with 3/19.

At one stage, the Mounties were

4/45, before Justin Grant (32), Matt O’Brien (33) and Lloyd Gourel-deSaint-Pern (33) resurrected things in the middle order.

Long Island’s top order came out firing in its match against Rye at RJ Rowley Reserve.

Paul Hartle (44), Aaron Paxton (51) and Justin Bridgeman (60) got the Islanders away to a flying start while Michael’s Chaplin and Burke also made solid contributions.

A score of 8/252 is a good one on Rye’s home deck.

Harrison Wilson was the pick of the Rye bowlers with 3/39 off 14 overs, while Tommy Barrand picked-up 2/38.

Peninsula Old Boys will need to be at their absolute best with the ball this week to defend 208 against Moorooduc.

The Ducs bowled extremely well,

led by Bobby Wilson who helped himself to 3/60, while Greg Pullen and Justin McCleary each snared two wickets.

Callum Savio was the best of the POB batsmen with 39, Andrew Parsons scored 38 batting at eight and Wade Pelzer scored 37. At one stage, POB was in some trouble at 6/100, so 208 didn’t look so bad at the end of play.

Mt Martha is in some strife against neighbor Mornington after being restricted to just 154 from 73.2 overs.

Chris Holcombe saved the day once again for his side with the bat, scoring 63. Tim Moran (24) was the only other player to score more than 20.

Luke Harper was the best of the Doggies bowlers with 3/54, while Matt Foon picked-up 2/7 from 13 overs.

Skipper tests injury and takes 4/46 DISTRICT

By IT Gully HASTINGS was able to do what no other team has been able to do this season in MPCA District cricket – keep Langwarrin under a score of 200.

The Blues were at their best with the ball, led by Scott Phillips, who took himself out of cotton wool and decided to test his back.

The Blues skipper doesn’t bowl a lot these days. However, he knew that he had little choice against the best batting attack in the competition.

His 4/46 from 22.1 overs helped the Blues to roll the league leaders for 166 in 74.1 overs.

The evergreen Danny Weare held the innings together with 55, while Simon McEvoy was the next best scorer with 24.

Luke Hewitt was at his best with the ball also for the Blues, snaring 3/22, while Isuru Dias had an enjoyable afternoon, picking-up 2/40 and taking two catches.

It was a day for the bowlers in the Baden Powell versus Seaford game, 16 wickets falling on the first day after the Tigers won the toss and elected to bat.

Julian Pharaoh, who has played A2 this season and has spent most of his time in the Second XI, was on fire

Bowled: Jake Prosser’s stump heads to the boundary after being bowled by Luke Hewitt from Hastings. Picture: Andrew Hurst

for the Braves on Saturday, taking a career-best 5/10 from nine overs.

Anjula Perera and Josh Waldrom

each collected two wickets each to send Seaford packing for just 78 in 43.3 overs.

Chris Cleef top scored with 26 for the Seaford and Damien Lawrence was the next best with 11.

However, the Braves batsmen couldn’t take advantage of the situation and at one stage were 5/44.

They did recover to be 6/67 at the end of play.

Mike Manders managed to pickup 4/37 from 15 overs while skipper Nathan Volpe bowled nine overs for a return of 2/12.

Carrum holds the upper hand in its match against Main Ridge at Ditterich Reserve.

Ed Aarons played a lone hand with the bat for the Ridge after they won the toss and batted.

The keeper-batsman top scored with 82, while Gareth Wyatt hit 26 and Jordon McCulley 24. The next best score was ‘Extras’ with 20.

Jackson Fry, Jeremy Graves and Lachlan Dobson each picked-up two wickets, while Daniel Polson had a tremendous impact in his 2.4 overs, collecting 3/7.

In reply, the Lions are 2/49.

Pines has been struggling in recent times but it brought its best to the table on Saturday against Boneo, scoring 9/283.

Brett Hudgson top scored with 89 while Trav Pastuka with 58 and Ricky

Ramsdale with 35 also made more than solid contributions to the score for the Piners.

Craig Williams and Alex Petrovic each picked-up two wickets for the visitors.

Frankston YCW will be lucky to avoid an outright loss against Somerville this weekend.

Somerville made its intentions well and truly known on Saturday, belting 8/380 in its 75 overs – that’s a massive score.

Ben Delaney smacked 81, Sam Delaney creamed 63, Craig Black 43, Keith Burdett 40, Jack Kennedy 39 and Aaron Kaddatz 34 to help the Eagles to the monster total.

Adam Muirhead bowled 11 overs for the Stonecats and picked-up 3/68, while Craig Burch took 2/151 rom 31 overs.

Delacombe Park is in the box seat to beat Flinders after scoring 221.

Chris Glendinning top scored with 58, while Simon Dignan, batting at eight, was the next best for the Parkers with 30.

Lou Gillies was the pick of the bowlers for the Sharks with 4/42, while Dwayne Field helped himself to 3/77.

End-of-season scramble for top spots SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully WITH just two days left of home and away cricket in MPCA Sub District for the season, it’s going to be a made scramble to see who makes the top four.

Pearcedale and Rosebud, who went head-to-head on Saturday, are two teams that are nestled in the top bracket.

However, only one of them may still be there at the close of play this weekend.

As the game sits at the moment, Pearcedale is in some serious trouble after being bowled out for 121.

Scott Millar was absolutely sensational for the Budders, bowling a staggering 32 overs and finishing with the mighty impressive figures of 7/49, including 10 maidens.

Brian Doughty was the only other wicket taker for Rosebud with an impressive 3/0 from six overs.

Shayne Gillings was the only Pearcedale batsman to offer some resistance with 37.

In reply, the Buds are 2/31, the dangerous Darren Kerr and Gregg McCann both back in the sheds, courtesy of Justin Heysham, who has 2/17 from five overs.

French Island had a day fit for Kings on Saturday, scoring 8/386 against

Dromana at Dromana Reserve.

Ben King was the master with the bat for the Islanders with 134, while Jacob King fell nine short of his century, bowled by David Timmer for 91.

Jed Savage was the best of the Dromana bowlers, opening the attack and collecting 4/120 off 20 overs.

Timmer finished with 2/78.

Balnarring has already beaten Seaford Tigers, despite only the first day being played.

The Tigers won the toss and elected to bat. However, they were rolled for 88 in just 36 overs.

Corey Hand top scored for the Tigers with 24, while Brad Arnold bowled 18

overs for Balnarring and snared 6/38.

In reply, Balnarring is 3/89, having lost Luke Chapple for 25, Brenton Taylor for 32 and Brendan Saker for three.

Red Hill again failed with the bat on Saturday against Carrum Downs but it will still win this game comfortably.

The Hillmen managed 162 at Thompson Oval, Nick Esipoff top scoring with 36 and Owen McKillop and Matthew Merifield each getting 31.

Ryan Lynch and Ash Worker picked-up 3/27 and 3/24 respectively for the Cougars, while Steven Worker and Chamara Perera each claimed two wickets.

Carrum Downs had to face the last 10 overs of the day and lost two wickets. They will resume in early trouble at 2/5.

Tootgarook holds the upper hnd in its match against Tyabb.

Expecting to win this match comfortably, the Yabbies lost the toss and were sent in by the Tooters.

Other than skipper Luke Rus, who scored 61, it was a sad afternoon for the Yabbies, who were rolled for 150.

Ashley Rickard was the best of the Tootgarook bowlers with 3/24, while Matt Whelan claimed 3/29.

In reply, the Tooters are in command at 2/60. Nathan Hudgson has both wickets for the Yabbies.

Hastings restricts top side to 166 HASTINGS CRICKET

By Greg Bradshaw HASTINGS Firsts travelled to Langwarrin to play the top side in an effort to keep its finals hope alive.

Langy chose to bat and were in deep trouble after Scott Phillips claimed the firsts three wickets 3/37. Hastings was were able to maintain the pressure but some sloppy catching let Langy off the hook but Luke Hewitt and Issy Dias took another three wickets, 6/81.

The tail managed to wag a little as the next pair put on 37 runs, 7/118, before Langy lost two quick wickets, 9/138, but teh Hastings bowlers tired and couldn’t removed the last pair as they batted into the last over of the day to get them to 166.

Phillips bowled well finishing with 4/46 off 22 overs while Hewitt took 3/22 off 13, Dias 2/40 off 18 and Tim Birch who bowled 20 wicketless overs but only went at two runs an over.

Now next week the Hastings batsmen must put it together if they are to win, batting partnerships and the full 75 overs will get them over the line.

Seconds vs Langwarrin: Langwarrin were sent into bat, losing a wicket at six before the next pair put on 83 runs mainly due to six missed chances.

Young bowlers Jake Ryan and Peter Dale bowled extremely well without much luck but the seconds managed to keep the flow of runs in check as Langy reached 3/133 off 47 overs at tea.

Captain Jason Slocombe made everyone aware the next 10 overs were

Leg before: Peter Edwards from Langwarrin goes down to the bowling of Luke Hewitt. Picture: Andrew Hurst.

the key and the Hastings squad took three important wickets, 6/147, but from then on Ryan and Dale were unable to bowl again the team struggled to maintain the pressure as Langy hit 102 runs off the final 17 overs of the innings to finish with 7/249.

Ryan took 3/49 off 20 overs, Dale 2/53 off 18 overs while Steve Thomson toiled hard to finish with 1/35 off 15 overs. Wade Delahaye claimed 1/18. It will be the same as with the Firsts, partnerships and batting the full 75 overs will get the win.

Thirds vs Tyabb: Playing against the top-placed Tyabb, Hastings batted first with Pat Foy and son Matt opening the batting. They proceeded to put

together a brilliant 152-run partnership in only 27 overs before Matt was bowled for 62, his highest senior score to date.

Pat continued only to be stumped seven runs short of his century then there was a mini collapse, 5/189, before Nick Guest 58no and Jay Austerberry 36no added 93 runs in the final seven overs to get Hastings to 5/282.

Dave Craig also scored 24.

Tyabb came out with intent knowing they had to score at more than seven runs an over as last week’s hero Kayne Lewis was belted for 50 runs off his four overs but he did bowl the opening bat. Runs flowed but the Hastings bowlers were able to continue taking

wickets and soon Tyabb were 7/189 with 10 overs to play. They still kept swinging but fell 46 runs short with eight balls to spare.

Tristan Dales was a last minute replacement and took 3/33, Matt Foy 2/36, Guest 1/14, Jaysen Bradshaw 1/21 and Luke Gibbons 1/45. Great win, the boys now go into second spot and Tyabb drop to fourth, but there is only two points separating first and fourth with rounds remaining.

Under 15s vs Rosebud: Rosebud 10/145 Andrew Jeffs 2/10, Luke Grey 2/10 and Lachlan Cox 2/19. Hastings resumed at 1/8 and got off to a solid start before Brodie Prestage was out for 15 but after this no one could get

going and Hastings was dismissed for a disappointing 97 and with it any chance of playing finals. The side had a red hot crack at it during the season and with five new players did pretty well to get to where it did. Thanks goes to coach Danny Jeffs and helper Pat Foy and scorer Stuart Bradshaw.

Under 13s vs Crib Point: Hastings 8/285 S.Lothain-Burdett 59no, R.McNamara 51no, J.Coles 49, and P.Wilson 31no.

Crib Point’s innings began disastrously as it collapsed to 6/16 in only the 13th over with Bayde Wilson, Corbin Overton and Cooper Dehaas taking two wickets each. But from this point on the tail dug in as Crib managed to bat its innings out to finish with 9/82. Wilson finish with 3/9, Overton 2/3, Dehaas 2/9,Thomas Finn 1/5 and Blake Mealey 1/9.

With the win the side has finished in third place and now plays Baden Powell in next week’s semi-final on Sunday.

Under 11’s vs Somerville: Hastings 7/120. Somerville batted and scored 14/91 off it’s 32 overs. Devlin Webb took 2/3, Matt Dodd 2/8, Bailey Esler 2/13, Pat Wilson 1/5, Thomas Finn 1/8, Nicolas Gregg 1/10 and Traye Gent 1/10.

Summer Motoring Nissan motorsport unveils four-car factory V8 Supercar team NISSAN Motorsport has stepped out in style at the team’s launch in Melbourne.

The factory outfit unveiled its Nissan Altima V8 Supercars in 2013 race colours and driver line-up at the Melbourne Showgrounds, the latest chapter in Nissan’s long-awaited return to Australian touring car racing.

It was confirmed that James Moffat and Michael Caruso will join Nissan Motorsport, driving Altimas backed by leading internet security company Norton and becoming factory drivers for the first time in their careers.

The familiar black and white colours of global whiskey giant Jack Daniel’s have now been transferred to two Nissan Altimas to be driven by Nissan Motorsport co-owners Todd and Rick Kelly.

Nissan Australia managing director William F Peffer Jr said the team unveiling was another significant milestone for Nissan Motorsport.

“Last October we unveiled the Nissan Altima V8 Supercar but today, we’re unveiling the Nissan Motorsport team,” he said.

“Our Altimas are now in combat colours and ready for battle. Nissan is thrilled to be partnering with strong, global brands like Jack Daniel’s and Norton.

“Nissan has a raft of new models soon to be released in Australia, including the all-new Altima sedan.

“The 2013 V8 Supercar Championship is an important part of the Nissan Altima’s marketing strategy. Australian new car buyers will have an entire year to get to know the Altima name and shape before it goes on sale later this year.

“The V8 Supercar Championship is also a great environment to showcase our brand and the innovation and ex-

citement Nissan seeks to deliver,” Mr Peffer said.

“Two thousand and thirteen is guaranteed to be an exciting year for the sport of V8 Supercars and especially for Nissan Motorsport.”

Nissan Motorsport Commercial Director Rick Kelly said it was a proud day for the team.

“Today is an incredibly exciting day

for our team and actually it comes almost 12 months to the day after we first announced our partnership with Nissan,” Rick Kelly said.

“Not only do we officially welcome James, Michael and Norton to Nissan Motorsport but we also unveil our Nissan Altima V8 Supercars in race trim, including the first black and white Nissan Altima of our long-time friends at

Jack Daniel’s, as well as marking the next significant step in Nissan Motorsport’s journey to the grid.”

Nissan Motorsport racing director Todd Kelly is confident the team is ready for the 2013 V8 Supercars Championship.

“I’m so immensely proud of each and every person at Nissan Motorsport,” Mr Kelly said.

“So much time and effort has gone into designing, constructing and assembling our four Nissan Altima V8 Supercars. We’ve strengthened every area of our team over the past 12 months in preparation for the 2013 season and I’m confident that all our work and effort will pay off.”

To date the first Nissan Altima V8 Supercar has completed a series of aerodynamic homologation test runs as well as circuit tests at both Winton Motor Raceway in Benalla, Victoria, and Sydney Motorsport Park (Eastern Creek) in Sydney, New South Wales.

Nissan Motorsport’s four Altimas will be on-track at the annual V8 Supercars Championship pre-season test day at Sydney Motorsport Park this Saturday February 16.

Nissan Motorsport will then complete its journey to the grid on March 1-3 at the Clipsal 500 at the Adelaide Parklands street circuit in Adelaide, South Australia, the opening event of the 2013 V8 Supercars Championship.
