11 Weeks to Christmas! Hawks win flagged FRANKSTON’S giant gnome standing alongside the Peninsula Link freeway predicted the winner of Saturday’s AFL Grand Final by donning Hawthorn colours on Grand Final Eve Friday last week. The ninemetre high gnome controversially replaced the popular Tree of Life sculpture in July as part of a McClelland Gallery & Sculpture Park program of exhibiting artworks along Peninsula Link. Hawthorn’s colours had been removed by the first bounce of Saturday’s Grand Final. Hawthorn smashed the West Coast Eagles 107-61 to win its third consecutive Premiership. Picture: Gary Sissons
Peninsula’s first weekly produce market
THE peninsula’s first weekly produce market starts at The Briars Park in Mt Martha on Tuesday 20 October. It is the idea of Rachael Koch, who grew up in Frankston, and Matt Taylor, of Mt Eliza – business and life partners who met at Woodleigh School – and will be the culmination of planning that started last summer when the couple first started talking to peninsula suppliers. Discussions with the shire, which owns and runs The Briars, started in April and the lease was signed last week. Ms Koch said Briars head ranger Jarrod Ruch had “been amazing as the market fits in with the Briars ethos” and area councillors Bev Colomb and Anne Shaw had been supportive. Known formally as the Briars Community Produce Market, features will include all suppliers no more than 40km away, zero waste, no plastic (although Ms Koch conceded meat
might have plastic packaging), and no charge for parking. Calico bags made in Australia will be on sale for $5. They have set up a not-for-profit structure and will put earnings back into the market including workshops in summer as well as toward projects at The Briars. The couple is hoping for 20 stallholders at the first market offering vegetables, fruit, coffee, wine, bread, olive oil and honey. “We’re looking for eggs and meat,” Ms Koch said. Seed money for the project came from French waste management multinational Suez Environnment, which made 39 grants nationally this year. The couple applied for a $2400 grant but Suez liked their idea so much it doubled the grant. Details: 0478 536 081 or briarsmarket@gmail. com Mike Hast
Break-ins mar Flinders holidays HOLIDAY home owners in the Flinders area are being advised to check for lost property after up to six homes and six cars were broken into Wednesday night. One of the cars was stolen but later recovered. Rosebud detectives arrested and charged a Hastings man, 34, with burglary and theft on
Friday. He was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 9 December. Another man is believed to be involved but he had not been apprehended when The News went to press. Detectives said absentee owners may not even be aware their homes had been raided. Items known to have been
stolen include a mountain bike, wallet with credit cards, sunglasses and coins, but a full list is hard to compile until the exact number of break-ins is known. Anyone with information is asked to call Rosebud CIU on 5986 0444 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
