Eyes spy from hillside SPECTACULAR views from Olivers Hill are now even better with the installation this month of a public telescope that is free to use. It offers a fresh look across Port Phillip Bay at Melbourne, the You Yangs and Mount Macedon from this stunning perspective.

“Hopefully locals and visitors will use the telescope to educate their children about proximity, the beauty of our coastline and the importance of protecting and preserving our natural environment,” Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley said.

“We plan to include signage highlighting the unique history of Olivers Hill and the Frankston area, which will be a great accompaniment to the telescope.

“The view is so good it’s up there with the likes of Sky High in the Dandenong Ranges.”

“The telescope is a second-hand model and has all the charm of the ones many adults will remember using as kids; however unlike back then when you had to insert a coin for viewing time, Frankston’s telescope is free for everyone to enjoy.”

The telescope has a raised platform base so children can easily reach the eye-piece.

Sky rail ‘must be dropped’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ANY plan to build elevated rail along the Frankston line should be dumped in favour of ‘underground’ rail according to the state opposition.

Liberal opposition leader Matthew Guy told The Times he would be willing to back the government’s planned sale of the Port of Melbourne to finance ‘rail

under road’ instead of sky rail to remove level crossings across Melbourne’s rail network.

He said sky rail “would be devastating for the Frankston line”.

“It’s not what was promised and would destroy what should be a bayside Riviera for Melbourne,” Mr Guy said.

“If it [rail under road] is more expensive the opposition is prepared to work with the government to get the port sale through to give the government the

money to do it properly and I don’t understand why they’re being so arrogant not considering that.”

“We have this government that wants to put dirty great big sky rails - elevated railway – which you would never do anywhere else in the world on your most visually beautiful parts of your city.

“New York wouldn’t do it on Long Island, the South of France wouldn’t do it along the coast near Marseilles.”

The opposition leader said elevated

rail is “a substandard option” and previous Liberal and Labor state governments had opted for underground rail to remove level crossings.

State Treasurer Tim Pallas accused Mr Guy of an about turn on the sale of the Port of Melbourne.

“The government has worked very constructively to negotiate with Matthew Guy and the opposition but they are hell bent on holding the government to ransom,” Mr Pallas said.

Time to clean up the trash

Patience needed: Expert sand sculptors build elaborate displays for the Sand Sculptures exhibition at Frankston’s waterfront each year.

Sand sculptures exhibition cash boost THE sand sculpture exhibition at Frankston’s waterfront could become an all-year round display thanks to a $750,000 federal government grant to build a weatherproof shell to house the sand sculptures.

The grant, part of a federal nationwide $3.6 million Tourism Demand Driver Infrastructure program, will see exhibition owners Sandstorm Events build a ‘clear span structure’ at the sand sculpture exhibition’s Nepean Hwy home.

“I am beyond excited that Sand Sculpting Australia has been a successful recipient of the latest TDDI grant - and am both proud and thrilled with the belief in sand sculpture as a national tourism product for Victoria,” Sandstorm Events managing director Sharon Redmond said.

The company says the sand sculpting

exhibition, lured from Rye by Frankston Council in 2007, has injected an estimated $100 million into Frankston’s economy since its debut on the waterfront.

Federal Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson said the investment in a sheltered venue for the sand sculptures exhibition would help attract more visitors to Frankston all year round.

The clear span structure will be weatherproofed and include lighting displays for sand structures. The exhibition, with a different theme each year, usually runs over the summer months.

“This is all part of our plan to create more jobs and economic opportunity in our region and builds on the Turnbull Coalition government’s investment in the redevelopment of the Frankston Yacht Club foreshore precinct as a real

magnet for our city by the bay,” Mr Billson said.

Frankston Council welcomed the $750,000 investment but said the yearround exhibition will still have to be approved by council.

“This $750,000 grant is a huge vote of confidence in the significance of the Frankston Sand Sculpting Australia exhibition and the Frankston Waterfront as a tourist destination,” Mayor Cr James Dooley said.

“Since it first began in December 2007, the annual exhibition has become a hallmark event that sees tourists return to the Frankston Waterfront every year to view their latest exhibition.

So much so that the Sand Sculpting Australia exhibition will receive its one millionth visitor within the next two weeks.”

THE 3199 Frankston Beach Patrol is embarking on a “same but different” challenge on Clean Up Australia Day – Sunday 6 March.

The group’s manager, John Billing, said members would clean up around the base of Oliver’s Hill with a focus on the rocks that collect and hold litter washed down drains. The litter makes its way into the bay via the storm water drains and the currents and waves do the rest, bringing it on to beaches.

“We are looking for people to register and join us,” Mr Billing said.

“As well as the rocks, we will also clean up the car park and beach towards the pier if we can get enough people. Both areas are covered as part of our regular beach clean ups.

“We’re also hoping the attention that Clean Up Australia Day brings will help to raise greater awareness among local residents and make them more litter conscious.”

Last year the group removed 35kg of litter as well as almost 2000 cigarette butts from the area – something Mr Billing said “is simply unacceptable”.

“More than eight million tonnes of plastic are being dumped in the world’s oceans every year,” he said.

“We may have the most popular beach in the state as well as the title of Australia’s Sustainable City of the Year in 2015, but we shouldn’t become complacent.

“Litter is not just unsightly; we’ve all seen the images of how litter impacts on marine wildlife, such as single use plastic bags and fishing line. There’s just no reasonable explanation for littering to still be happening in this day and age.

Join the team: The Frankston Beach Patrol cleans up litter.

“Banding together to support such events as Clean Up Australia Day is just one way we can engage to make a positive change that benefits everyone: residents and visitors.”

Golf day to fight disease A CHARITY golf day at Centenary Park next week will raise money to fight Crohn’s disease which affects up to 75,000 Australians.

Club professionals Warren and Steve Montgomerie will host the Friday 26 February event which will include 18 holes of golf, barbecue lunch, sportsman’s night hosted by Kevin Bartlett and Danny Frawley and special guests, 5.30-7.30pm, as well as prizes and auctions.

The cost is $85 per person.

The fundraiser came about through the work of Suzanne Young, whose daughter, Carly, suffers from Crohn’s disease.

It is characterised by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and can also affect the eyes, skin, joints, liver, kidneys, and blood vessels.

No rates cap exemption this year Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Council has warned rates capping will cause a $28 million budget black hole in its budget within four years.

Mayor Cr James Dooley says council had not joined 21 other Victorian councils in asking for an exemption from the 2.5 per cent rise limit, linked to the annual inflation rate, for 2016-17 but says Frankston residents will be asked in future about their willingness “to give up high quality services and infrastructure maintenance or back us up in advocating for an exemption through the Essential Services Commission”.

“Prior to last year’s announcement

of a 2.5 per cent cap, Frankston City Council had already undergone a major restructure to reduce costs and reworked its long term financial plan,” Cr Dooley said.

“This has already seen council forced to make some tough decisions to weather the storm, such as ceasing our financial commitment to providing after-hours school care and reducing the discounted venue hire options we provide to schools and community groups.

“The numbers say it all – even more will have to give if this cap continues into the next few years, as our costs increase at a greater rate than the CPI.” Council number crunchers estimate the Labor state government’s ‘Fair Go Rates Cap’ policy will create a $28 mil-

lion budget shortfall by the year 2020.

Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins has made it clear any rates increase above the rate of inflation must be justified.

“We want to see councils more accountable, more transparent and more responsible with how they spend ratepayer funds,” Ms Hutchins said last year shortly after Labor won government (‘Councils rates warning’, The Times 19/1/15).

Cr Dooley says the state government must increase its share of funding local services if the rate capping policy is not to lead to severe service cuts.

“Substantial cost shifting has taken place under successive state governments in areas like maternal and child

health, libraries and school crossings, which have been covered by ratepayers,” he said.

“Victorian government funding originally covered an equitable share of the total cost in each of these areas, but has dropped their contribution to 34 per cent for maternal and child health, 21 per cent for school crossings and just 16 per cent for library operating costs.”

“Other areas that have been impacted by cost-shifting include kindergartens, animal management, beach cleaning, foreshore management, dredging, fire hydrants, statutory planning fees and the maintenance of roads managed by VicRoads.

“We look forward to the State Government restoring a more equal level

of funding for these important areas for our community.” n The 21 councils who have asked the ESC for an exemption to the rates cap for the next financial year are: Bass Coast Shire Council, Buloke Shire Council, City of Ballarat, City of Casey, City of Darebin, City of Greater Geelong, City of Melbourne, Glen Eira City Council, Hepburn Shire Council, Hindmarsh Shire Council, Horsham Rural City Council, Latrobe City Council, Maribyrnong City Council, Mitchell Shire Council, Moorabool Shire Council, Murrindindi Shire Council, Pyrenees Shire Council, Towong Shire Council, Yarra City Council, Yarriambiack Shire Council and Wyndham City Council.

SOLITAIRE Race for life: The young patient is transferred from an ambulance to a helicopter at Lloyd Park for the trip to Royal Melbourne Hospital. Picture: Gary Sissons

Girl hit by garbage truck MAJOR Collision Investigation detectives are appealing for witnesses after a teenage girl was struck by a garbage truck in Langwarrin last Tuesday morning (16 February).

They were told the 17-year-old was crossing the road at the intersection of Cranbourne-Frankston Rd and Long St when she was hit by the truck, 8.10am. She apparently waved at the truck to stop but it ran over her hip area. She then tried to sit up but collapsed.

The Langwarrin teen was airlifted to Royal Melbourne Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Staff reported her condition as “serious” on Wednesday.

Leading Senior Constable Julie-Anne New-

man, of police media, last week said the 54-yearold truck driver, of Frankston, was in custody and assisting police with their inquiries.

“This is a terrible incident. Our thoughts are with the young lady injured and her family,” Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley said.

“We will conduct a thorough investigation into how this occurred and are assisting police with their investigation into this matter.

“We have also offered the contractor access to council’s counselling services.”

Police are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the collision to call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report to crimestoppersvic.com.au

FANTASTIC DEALS

Indigenous women’s breast screening rates are ‘low’ PART of the Closing the Gap report, released last Wednesday by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, revealed an increase in Indigenous cancer mortality rates and a huge disparity in patient breast screening compared to non-Indigenous residents.

This finding follows a “concerningly low” rate of presentation by Mornington Peninsula Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women compared to other groups in the same age cohort.

Presentations by ATSI women at BreastScreen Victoria clinics at Frankston and Rosebud are well below the state average.

The Frankston’s presentation rate is just 19 per cent of the target age group (50-74), while Rosebud’s is slightly better at 26 per cent. Yet, for nonIndigenous women, the Frankston presentation rate is 51 per cent and Rosebud 54 per cent. The state average is 54 per cent.

Spokeswoman Jane Aubrey said BreastScreen Victoria works with Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association to engage the ATSI population, however, she said presentation numbers are still “concerningly low”. Presentations are held at the Rosebud clinic.

The Closing the Gap report states that: “Between 2006 and 2013, there was a 10 per cent increase in cancer death rates for Indigenous patients and a 6 per cent decline for non-Indigenous Australians.”

“Breast cancer is the most common cancer among indigenous women in Victoria,” Ms Aubrey said.

“Working with key indigenous groups, particularly the regional Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOS), has been crucial to gain an understanding of how best to engage with the communities.

“Not only is breast cancer the most common cancer among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, but the mortality rate is also higher due to diagnosis at advanced stages – something BreastScreen Victoria is actively working to change.”

Prime Minister Turnbull called for “hope and optimism rather than entrenched despair” in engaging with indigenous Australians and this is a sentiment shared by BreastScreen Victoria.

Its CEO, Vicki Pridmore, said the testing “continues to improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women with participation rates improving through implementation of a con-

Screening ‘concern’

STATISTICS showing a low uptake of breast screening is “a real concern for our people”, Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association president Peter Aldenhoven said.

Willum Warrain is an Aboriginal Gathering Place at Hastings.

“However, it is part of a bigger picture regarding poorer health outcomes for Aboriginal people generally.”

Staffmembers believe they are ideally placed to support ATSI people on their journeys to better health and positive lifestyles. They advocate on behalf of the Mornington Peninsula Aboriginal community and run a range of health-related programs and initiatives.

“It is well-known that Aboriginal Torres Strait Islanders don’t engage with mainstream health delivery and services because of complex cultural and historical reasons,” Mr Aldenhoven said.

“There is an increasing emphasis via the Koolin Balit strategy (the Victorian Government’s Aboriginal health strategy) on making services more culturally appropriate, engaging and effective.”

He said “Soul Sistas” was a local example of ATSI women involved in culturally safe settings (such as Gathering Places), which focused on improving health and wellbeing outcomes for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Aboriginal women.

They underwent breast-screening as part of a program run by the Bunurong Healthy Lifestyles team last year. sidered, culturally sensitive program which aims to make the screening process easier”.

“It’s important to remember that early detection of breast cancer improves outcomes for women,” she said. “Three quarters of all women diagnosed are over 50 and one 10-minute appointment every two years could save your life.”

Pains to be assessed chest in time An independent voice for the community

We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper in Frankston City and on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

PREMIER Daniel Andrews visited Frankston Hospital last Thursday morning (18 February) to officially open a new eight-bed Rapid Assessment Chest Pain Unit expected to treat up to 2000 patients per year.

The new eight-bed unit means specialist cardiologists can assess people with chest pain earlier and faster, to ease pressure on the emergency department.

The extra beds at Frankston Hospital mark 92 out of 101 beds and points of care opened as a result of the Labor state government’s $200 million Hospital Beds Rescue Fund.

“In less than a year, we will deliver 101 new beds and points of care as promised, so Victorian patients can access the care they need, when they need it,” Mr Andrews said.

A new $5 million hybrid interventional operating theatre at Frankston Hospital is also now open for surgery, featuring cutting edge digital equipment that will allow surgeons to use minimally invasive surgical techniques.

The operating theatre, the largest in Australia, will mean patients undergo shorter surgeries and recover quicker.

Clinic to advise on fines

Needle work: Community Support Frankston agency manager Steve Phillips, left, Elizabeth Alexandrou, Di MacDonald and Annie Nichols get together to knit blankets for the homeless at The Dharma Hub Cafe in Frankston. Picture: Gary Sissons

PENINSULA Community Legal Centre has established a fines clinic to help people unable to pay fines.

The move was necessary because of “the alarming increase in the number of people coming to our centre with out-of-control outstanding fines”, the centre’s principal lawyer Victoria Mullings said.

“The financial and social costs of this problem are wide-ranging, and may include severe penalties such as loss of driver’s licence, wheel-clamping, cancellation of registration and potentially even imprisonment.”

Ms Mullins said a “growing tide” of people in Frankston had run up thousands of dollars in fines and associated administrative fees.

“The scale of the problem is immense and our region is one of the most negatively impacted, as borne out by the statistics released by the Sheriff’s office.”

Frankston residents owed $75.5 million in unpaid warrants in 2014-2015,

making it one of the three worst local government areas in Victoria.

Residents in neighbouring Casey owed $132 million.

“The problem is not going away any time soon. From 2013-2014 to 20142015, there has been over a 118 per cent increase in the value of outstanding fines issued over that period,” Ms Mullins said.

The fines clinic will advise clients about driving on toll-roads without an e-tag, parking fines and public transport fines. The clinic is funded to operate as a pilot for two years by the Victorian Government Community Legal Centre Assistance Fund.

Clinic sessions will run 6-8pm Wednesdays by appointment with a drop-in service 9.30am-noon on Thursdays at the centre’s Frankston office.

For information about the fines clinic and other free legal services, call Peninsula Community Legal Centre on 9783 3600 or visit pclc.org.au

THREE custody officers will begin deployment at Frankston police station in May – the vanguard of 12 to begin full time at the busy station by July.

The officers will manage prisoners in the cells, supervise offenders, transport people between court and the station, and perform administrative duties to support police.

Superintendent Glenn Weir said the custody officers were training at the Police Academy and would be assigned through a staged deployment across the suburbs.

The deployment is part of a state government election commitment. It says it has invested $148.6 million in recruiting, training and deploying 400 custody officers in 22 police stations over the next three years.

Parliamentary Secretary for Justice Ben Carroll said the police custody officers would serve the community while allowing police to return to the jobs they were trained to do.

He said custody officers would “free up police, who had been forced to babysit prisoners in police cells instead of fighting crime”.

Knitting together has blanket appeal Custody officers join force A KNITTING project to help the homeless is growing by the day at three cafes and two schools in the Frankston area.

Di MacDonald decided to begin the ‘Knit-A-Row and Go’ initiative after seeing a Facebook page two years ago showing a South African shop owner encouraging locals to knit scarves for homeless people.

The Frankston resident dropped off knitting needles, yarn and instructions for a ‘feel good pattern’ at the Street Express Cafe in Chelsea and encouraged knitters dropping in for a cuppa to knit as many lines as they liked to

make blankets for the homeless.

“I moved back down to Frankston about a year ago and wanted to keep it going here,” Ms MacDonald said.

“Now I’ve got three cafes in Frankston and a couple of schools involved.”

When blankets are about a metre long Ms MacDonald collects them and passes them on to Community Support Frankston to distribute to the homeless.

“We donate the blankets and they select who to pass them on to in the community,” she said.

Students at St Anne’s Primary School in Seaford and Woodleigh

School’s Minimbah junior campus in Frankston got in on the knitting act and began darning blankets together to make rugs.

The ‘Knit-A-Row and Go’ project is located at The Dharma Hub Cafe, 439 Nepean Hwy, Frankston; Trims Restaurant, 40 Playne St, Frankston and Rocotillos Cafe, 36 Wells St, Frankston.

Donations of knitting needles and yarn and good old fashioned knitting time are always welcome. See the ‘Knit-A-Row and Go’ Facebook page for further information.

Let there be light: Artist Emma Ikin takes a well-earned break while making a huge chandelier from recycled plastic milk bottles for the TrashArt exhibition as part of the Ventana Festival. Picture: Gary Sissons

An art to recycled trash for fest THE saying ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure’ will be put to the test by some amazing installations at this year’s Ventana Fiesta.

Ventana, which means ‘window’, is Frankston’s month-long celebration of arts and culture inspired by emerging and celebrated movements in Latin America, Spain and Portugal.

According to Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley, the 2016 Ventana Fiesta will have a theme of ‘trash’, focusing on movements that promote sustainability and the new trend of ‘upcycling’.

“There has been an exciting trend evolving in Latin America, Spain and Portugal, which encourages people to look at trash from another perspective and rediscover its value,” Cr Dooley said.

“Given that Frankston was named Australia’s Most Sustainable City at the 2015 Keep Australia Beautiful Awards, this is a very fitting theme for this year’s Ventana Fiesta.”

The trash-inspired artistic movements featuring as part of Ventana 2016 include: n TrashArt - an exhibition of instruments and costumes made out of recycled materials n The TrashBanquet, the Last Supper – an installation in the Glass Cube Gallery at Cube 37 which will see trash disguised as an elegant dining setting n TrashLation – a collection of images of neglected spaces that have been transformed into playgrounds by urban designers and communities, using repurposed discarded items n Galapagos Surreal – a photographic exhibition depicting a trip to paradise devoid of trash

“These incredible exhibitions will be the result of a variety of artists working together to challenge our view of what is trash and what is treasure; and will open our minds to potential upcycling options for different items that were destined for landfill,” the mayor said.

To complement these exhibitions, Ventana Fiesta will also feature a number of film screenings, workshops and musical performances with a focus on trash, sustainability and upcycling.

The trash-themed workshops will include a Recycled Instrument Workshop at the Pines Men’s Shed at 10am on Wednesday 2 March.

This free workshop will see attendees taught how to re-fashion recycled materials to create their own musical instruments.

“Run by Leo Rodriguez, an Argentinian musician and artisan who has been inspired by the Landfill Orchestra of Cateura, the free Recycled Instrument Workshop is a wonderful way for community members to learn how to literally transform trash into art,” Cr Dooley said.

Rodriguez’s repurposed musical instruments will feature in the Ventana TrashArt exhibition and he and his new ‘TrashBand’ will perform at the official Ventana Fiesta Opening on Friday 26 February and as part of the free Sunday Concert Series at the Frankston Library on Sunday 6 March at 1.30pm.

A free film screening of The Landfill Harmonic, the tale of the Paraguayan Youth Orchestra who live next to one of South America’s largest landfills and make their instruments from recycled materials, will feature as part of this year’s Pop-Up Ventana Film Festival at Cube 37 on Friday 26 February.

This year’s festival will see not only feature sky kites, but for the first time includes a land kiting demo. The team of internationally acclaimed kite flyers from across mainland Australia and New Zealand will display above the heads of the crowd, their spectacular maxi kites which include sea creatures such as dolphins, whales, sting rays and octopus together with winged dragons and floating astronauts.

These giant kites are so large they take a string of runner kites and a team of people to get them in the air and some pretty strong cabling attached to a car or two to keep them anchored to the ground. Flying high in the sky, against a backdrop of blue they never fail to impress.

While on the ground, for the first time at Rosebud, you can enjoy a display of kite buggying. This is where a kite is used to pull the buggy along a park, beach or dry lake. Whilst the limitations of the Rosebud site will restrict the speed of the display, in an open environment speeds of up to 130km have been recorded. Like the airborne kites, these buggies are purely wind powered and the skill is in catching the wind in the kite to maintain the movement.

In its twelfth year this popular festival is not only packed with free family activities, circus workshops, kite workshops, kids carnival, roving entertainment along with food stalls and is suitable entertainment for all ages.

Visit the Rosebud Kite Festival on Saturday 12th March for a preview of Maxi Kite displays from 10am-1pm while the main event on Sunday 13th March from 11am-5pm, will have a full program of entertainment.

Tips for farming in dry times MOST of the 30 Mornington Peninsula property owners at a dry conditions workshop at Tyabb Hall, Thursday, run livestock on, with a few engaging in horticulture.

The Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority’s Nicole Green said many landholders on the peninsula faced significant challenges in trying to manage their land during times of low rainfall or drought.

“However, having the knowledge and resources available to help prepare for these conditions can greatly improve the resilience of their land and their ability to remain financially via-

ble during these tough times,” she said.

At the workshop, Agriculture Victoria’s Nick Dudley and John Bowman spoke about managing feed for stock during dry conditions, calculating water use on properties and planning for times of low rainfall.

Their presentation on climate variability showed that farmers were increasingly experiencing years of unpredictable and variable rainfall, making it hard to predict falls and prepare for dry conditions.

State government animal welfare officer Craig Swain spoke about caring for stock and maintaining high stand-

ards of animal welfare in dry conditions.

After the workshop, attendees visited a sustainable agriculture property on Coolart Rd, Baxter, owned by Maria Parnham, which has received funding through the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority.

Small farm consultant David Stewart, who is working with Ms Parnham, spoke of the benefits of providing shade and shelter for agriculture, as well as erecting stock containment areas to protect native vegetation.

Sky rail divides parties Continued from Page 1 Liberal state Upper House MP for the South Eastern Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich believes sky rail will divide suburbs along the Frankston line.

“There is no way that sky rail will be acceptable to the residents of the bayside suburbs no matter how Labor dress it up and how much lipstick they put on it.”

Liberal opposition spokesman for planning David Davis accused the government of misleading voters before 2014’s state election.

“This is a fundamental breach of

trust. It’s not what the Labor Party promised at the state election. The reality is nobody voted for sky rail,” he said.

The state opposition raised the spectre of another East West Link style contracts battle, which cost taxpayers millions of dollars, if it wins back government at the next state election and sky rail has not yet been built.

“If there are contracts signed we will renegotiate those contracts with the awarded tenderers and will reaward them to remove those level crossings by going underground,” Mr Guy told The Times.

University Connector

Mornington Peninsula residents will soon be boarding a daily express bus service to Frankston.

From Monday 22 February, Bus Route 887 also known as the ‘University Connector’ will deliver six express round trips Monday to Friday between Rosebud and the Monash University Peninsula Campus via Frankston Railway Station during university semesters. This 12 month trial will be reviewed by Public Transport Victoria with a view for a permanent service in the future.

“This is a great example of the Victorian Government working with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council

Route 887 Route 887

“This dedicated express public transport service between Frankston and Rosebud will improve public transport services for all peninsula residents and visitors and will meet the needs of both students and workers who need to travel on trains to get to their employment or other tertiary institution in Metropolitan Melbourne.”

The start of the Route 887 bus coincides with the beginning of the University semester and will provide an alternative to the independentlyoperated PenBus service.

The first service will leave Rosebud at 6:47am, arriving at Frankston Station at 7.37am and the Monash University campus 8 minutes later. The last

Cyclist shines a light for safety Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au

Helmet with benefits: George Paterson has fitted lights and a camera to his bike helmet to alert and monitor motorists.

IT would be a rare day when George Paterson could walk along the streets of Rye or pull up at the back beach for a surf check without being recognised.

A long time businessman in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula Patterson is an easy to talk to type who always has an adventure on the go or an anecdote to tell.

But lately he’s discovered a way to become almost invisible.

The secret is one he shares with others who wear tight fitting, colourful outdoor clothing - in short, they’re cyclists.

Paterson has had so many near misses with cars and trucks while pedaling along the road that he’s taken to recording his journeys by wearing a camera on his helmet.

Using his own brand of black humour, he fantasises about lying on a hospital bed, unable to talk but knowing that the proof of what happened lies within the camera.

“It’s sort of like an insurance policy,” he says. “It would be regrettable if I can’t speak, but I’d have irrefutable proof.

“Hopefully it never happens but, if it does, I’ve got the evidence.”

And evidence it is. Paterson has supplied images of several incidents to police and Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Knowing that the camera has its uses, but protection is not one of them, Paterson also wears a set of flashing lights on his helmet.

One driver who nearly ran him down admitted, when apologising, that the lights were the only things that alerted him to the presence of a cyclist.

“We can see drivers but they can’t see

us,” Paterson says. “We become invisible.”

One of Paterson’s videos is likely to be used by the Amy Gillett Foundation, which is lobbying the Victorian government to make it mandatory for motorists to clear cyclists by at least one metre when overtaking.

The foundation – established after the death in Germany of Australian Olympic cyclist Amy Gillett – says it’s a meter matters (AMM) campaign is gaining ground nationally.

“In February 2014, no Australian jurisdiction had minimum overtaking distance on trial or mandated. As of January 2016, five jurisdictions have it, or an equivalent, in place,” the foundation’s executive administrator Kristen Scott stated in a letter to Paterson.

Victorian law talks about keeping a reasonable distance between motor vehicles and bicycles, a measure that Paterson says is unquantifiable.

Speaking with The Times from Forrest in south west Victoria before last weekend’s 100-kilometre Odyssey trail bike marathon in the Otway national park, Paterson said motorists could use dash cams “to protect their interests”.

“However, if they are responsible drivers, following the current road laws, then they will not need them,” he said.

“It is clear that many drivers are not familiar with the latest road rules dealing with cyclists: at roundabouts, keeping reasonable distance, dooring, and many more.

“It is worthwhile looking at the current amended laws. Especially regarding cyclists on unmarked roads where they have equal rights with drivers, regardless of the fact they travel slower, which is not different to a tractor or street sweeper.”

Paterson says the helmet lights “have definitely saved my life on many occasions, or saved me from injuries”.

“Drivers just don’t see you, which is incredible considering the fluoro jerseys cyclists wear and the flashing white front and flashing red tail lights.

“The cam images clearly show drivers’ startled looks.”

Paterson says the flashing helmet lights are head high and rotate with the cyclist’s eyesight.

“The fixed frame lights point only forward and can be missed by the unobservant driver. It seems that the constant rotation and elevation is more visible and intuitive for drivers to recognise.”

Referring to the case of a motorcyclist booked (and since cleared) for modifying his helmet with a camera, Paterson said he would rather break the law than increase his risk of accident.

“I think I would still ride with helmet cam and lights, even if it was deemed illegal, as the number of potential dangerous events I've experienced, could have been far worse,” he said.

“Clearly, most problems arise from the sharing of roads between the different users, such as cyclists, motorcycles, cars, trucks and buses.

“I would fight for 40 kilometre an hour zones through shopping centres, which would bring down car speeds to approximate bike speeds, reducing the consequences of impact.

“The usual red herring argument of shunting cyclists onto bike trails is nonsense. Then the reverse situation occurs between cyclist and pedestrians - utter chaos.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Somerville train hits buggy driver Compiled by Melissa Walsh A very serious accident happened to a young man named Robert Potts, on Saturday morning at the level crossing at the Somerville railway station.

It seems that he was driving a cart from the town ship towards home, and when about to cross over the line his attention was diverted by some horses playing up in the railway yard, and he did not perceive the midday train which was then approaching and before he could get clear the engine dashed into the cart, which was smashed to fragments.

He sustained a compound fracture of the skull, the head being terribly smashed. Without loss of time Mr G. Keast motored the injured man to Frankston and he was admitted to St Pancras Hospital. On Sunday Drs Maxwell and Dunhill performed an operation and the patient is now progressing as well as can be expected considering the grave nature of his injuries. The horse was uninjured. *** THE Federated Boot Factory Employees intend holding a picnic in the Frankston Park today. *** MR and Mrs C. P. Watson, after a trip to Tasmania and Sydney, returned to Frankston on Monday last. *** ATTENTION is directed to our advertising columns in which 53½ acres of good land (Parish of Moorooduc) will be offered for sale by Messrs Alex Scott and Co, in conjunction

with Mr J. G. Barrett at the Tanti sale yards, on Monday 6th March. *** THE monthly meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Council takes place on Thursday next at Somerville. Tenders are called in another column for a number of works, which will be considered on day of meeting. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold a military horse inspection at the Corporation yards, Tanti, on Friday, 3rd March. Anyone having an animal of the stamp required, and willing to sell, should not fail this opportunity of getting a good price. *** APPLICATIONS are invited by the committee of the Somerville Mechanics’ Hall, returnable on the 29th inst from persons willing to undertake the combined duties of caretaker, librarian, and secretary at a salary of £30 per annum. Applications are to be sent to Mr G. Keast, Somerville. *** SHOPKEEPERS are reminded that on or before the 14th March they are required by the Factories Act to register their shops (under a penalty of £10 for default) by delivering to the Chief Inspector of Factories, Melbourne a properly filled in form with the prescribed fee. Forms may be obtained from any factory inspector or any police station. *** “THE Somerville branch of the Pa-

triotic League is doing good work for the soldiers. At the last meeting of the branch it was passed that £5 be donated to the Y.M.C.A. and also £3 3s to the French society “Societe D’Assistance Maternelle et Infantile” a really deserving association through which 34000 out of 37,085 infants, born in Paris during August 1914 and August 1915, have passed through its hands. The ladies meet on Wednesday afternoon to sew and knit for our own troops, besides the sewing etc they take home to be done during the week. *** THE Mornington Amateur Dramatic Club gave three one act commediettes at Somerville, on Saturday evening, 19th inst, which was given in aid of the local Red Cross funds.

The attendance was good and a very enjoyable evening was spent by all present.

The members of the Club bore practically all the expenditure, which left the Red Cross funds benefitted to the extent of nearly £10. This club has been instrumental in raising considerable amounts at different centres for the Red Cross and are deserving of the thanks of the community for their efforts in this worthy cause. *** MUCH regret is expressed at the departure of Miss Watson, sister of Mr C. P. Watson, of the local Savings Bank, from Frankston, where, after some years residence she was quite looked upon as an established fact

and a competent leader in all local matters where the uplift of the community was concerned.

Being a lady of extensive experience in organising, Miss Watson was a very great assistance in commencing, and bringing the local branch of Red Cross to the successful and flourishing institution it is at present and it will be hard indeed to fill her place.

Miss Watson will leave Frankston in the happy knowledge of having “done what she could” to her utmost and left an impression that will not be easily wiped out or forgotten. *** A. R. Blannin Ferguson, who left Australia in old “C” Coy, 4th Battalion, 1st Infantry Brigade, A.I.F., October 19th 1914, son of Mrs K. Blannin-Ferguson, Majors Hill, Mt. Martha, Mornington, grandson of the late Major Alfred Blannin, and nephew of Colonel R. Roberton V.D. has been granted a Commission in the British Army, being attached to the 11th Reserve Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment, he is at present at 43.

St Cuthbert street, Bedford.

He is an old boy of the Frankston State School, at the time of Mr Hughes, Mr Catron, and Miss Anderson. Among those who were there were W. Gregory, F. Harley, C. Bell, A. Kerr, and Misses F. Sage, C. and D. Gregory, O. Oliver, D. Bates, and Bob Bates, who is now with the 7th Battalion. *** A most enjoyable afternoon was spent at the Savings Bank on Friday

11th inst. The invitation, given by Miss Watson to all those eager to help our soldiers at Langwarrin, by bringing or sending old linen, was most warmly responded to, 20 large rolls being the total.

Dainty afternoon tea was kindly given by Miss Watson and thoroughly enjoyed. Many were the expressions of regret at the departure of Miss Watson from the district and especially from our local Red Cross.

Meet the Principal

he first day of school at Kingsley Park is always a delight. Seeing the children smiling and laughing as they greet their friends, teachers and staff is always a joy.

This infectious, positive tone where children are keen learners, willing to try new experiences and where making an error is viewed as an opportunity to learn has not just happened by chance; it is a result of the combination of the many affirmative programs our skilled and caring staff implement.

The programs range from our strong involvement in the ‘Kids Matter’ program; a well-developed Restorative Justice approach to conflict; the wide range of supportive work from our own child psychologist; well-developed programs in performing arts and sport; student leadership program; a wide range of lunch time programs; the strong emphasis we place on each child’s personal development; high quality engaging educational programs as well as our staff’s involvement in an ongoing coaching and mentoring program which further enhances their high level knowledge and expertise.

We are strongly committed to achieving the highest academic standards where our children are supported and challenged to excel in literacy and numeracy. We also happily engage in a wide range of fun activities such as footy pie days, harmony days, mothers’ and fathers’ days breakfasts and the RACV challenge to name just a few.

Throughout 2016 we will be developing our outside learning area; expanding our iPad program; extending our highly successful pre-prep program; continuing our work to be an accredited Professional Learning Community school; implementing our strategic plan; enhancing our strong performing arts program and our persistent striving to enhance everything we do with our wonderful children.

We are a happy school supported by a wonderful community proud of their children’s great achievements and the school’s culture.

Do not hesitate to contact us on 9789 0077 to arrange a tour to see the school in action during a normal working day.

ew Principal Ms Vicki Steer joined the Cornish College community at the start of 2016. Cornish College will be the third Uniting Church School in which Ms Steer has worked in a senior role. For the past 11 years Ms Steer was Principal of the Ravenswood School for Girls, on the North Shore of Sydney, New South Wales. Prior to Ravenswood, Ms Steer was Vice Principal of Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School (PEGS), a co-educational school in the north west of Melbourne.

“I am delighted to be joining the Cornish College community. The College’s commitment to education for a sustainable future, its holistic and innovative approach to student development is strongly aligned with my educational philosophy. Our students are learning about how they can make a difference today and as adults.

Our vision of sustainable living is all encompassing and includes the personal, sociocultural, urban/technological and environmental dimensions.

“The story of the foundation of Cornish College in 2012 is one of effort, persistence and courage by parents, staff and students.

This school thrives today because of the community’s deep belief in our educational philosophy of preparing students for life.

“This is a vibrant school community, with a

commitment to excellence in teaching and learning. We recognise the importance of academic rigour, creativity and developing strong foundation skills for learning”, said Ms Steer.

There are 615 ELC to Year 12 students at Cornish College in 2016, up from 543 students last year. The College opened in 2012 with 220 students.

To accommodate the growth in student numbers, a program of building works has been completed over the past 12 months.

The most significant new building is The Kerry Bolger Centre, which opened ahead of schedule on 1 February, 2016. The Centre houses six classrooms for Year 4, 5 and 6 students (two classrooms per year level), along with breakout spaces.

Future developments will include a Senior Learning Centre for Years 10 to 12, a Middle School Wing for Years 7 to 9 and the redevelopment of the Arts, Drama and Music facilities.

Cornish College’s first Year 12 students all successfully achieved their Victorian Certificate of Education in 2015. 12.5% of Cornish College’s VCE students were in the top 5% of the state with an ATAR of 95 or above, and Robert Boag achieved

the highest ATAR result of 98.7. Of the 16 students applying for tertiary courses through the VTAC, 15 have received a first round offer and 9 students received their first preference.

Vicki Steer holds combined English and Politics honours degrees and a Master of Arts in English, specialising in Australian and American literature, from the University of Melbourne. Vicki commenced her career as an English teacher in Victorian government and independent schools before moving to the Victorian Public Service to work in the Public Service Board, Department of Labour, State Training Board and Community Services Victoria.

She returned to teaching in 1992 as Head of English and subsequently head of the senior school at Lowther Hall Anglican Girls’ Grammar School.

She has earned a reputation based on her capacity for listening to and engaging with others. A strategic thinker, motivated by the challenges of the present and the future, Vicki has a strong record of contribution to the education sector through her involvement in professional associations and professional mentoring.

I am proud to be the new Principal of Banyan Fields Primary School.

The school provides a partnership with our community in preparing every child to be successful in their future lives.

Our values of respect, honesty, team work, friendliness, responsible learning and positive relationships are modelled daily and our students demonstrate the ability to be inquisitive, independent and resourceful learners.

Our curriculum is broad and varied and we have made significant developments in literacy; particularly our SpellWell programme, the Big 6, and the Classroom Promotion of Oral Language (CPOL). In Numeracy we have introduced Jump maths to help target teaching at the point of need for each child.

Throughout 2016 we will be introducing the new Victorian Curriculum including developing our Coding programs. To complement our curriculum we have a diverse and interesting extra-curricular program and we run our own OSHC service, including a holiday program on site.

In 2016 we are very excited to have secured the services of a range of allied professionals who will help us meet the wider social, psychological, emotional and physical needs of our young people; our aim is to provide our students with the optimal conditions and appropriate opportunities to maximise their growth and development.

If you would like to know more about us, or you would like to see for yourself our dynamic, safe and caring environment then please do not hesitate to contact us.

In search of the shipwreck of my youth

By Stuart McCullough LOOKING back, it was a golden summer. At the time though, it was little more than the gap between first and second year Uni. I went with a group of friends to Merimbula on the South Coast of New South Wales. I’d been just once before with my family; a trip memorable only for the fact that it rained continuously and that we barely left the motel room. This time things would be different. We were leaving just after Christmas and the chances of sustained precipitation were about as slim as we were.

Just as our parents had taught us, we got up in the middle of the night to start driving. This, ostensibly, was to ‘beat traffic’. It’s an odd thing that long car trips feel more manageable if they commence in the dead of night.

It’s as though any travel done under the cloak of darkness doesn’t really count. After far too little sleep, the five of us crammed into a sedan. How we managed to fit everything in is beyond me.

There may have been five of us, but there was only one stereo. In the pre-iPod era, music was a shared experience; whether you liked it or not. I’ll admit now that I could have been more gracious. Plonked in the back seat, I was particularly interested in sleeping. Others in the vehicle, however, were devoted to staying awake, which is fair enough when you’re driving. So it was that, at five o’clock in the morning, we listened to ‘Doolittle’ by the Pixies at a tremendous volume. The Pixies were and remain an amazing band, but that was not the view I formed at five o’clock

PAGE 26

in the morning. Rather, I declared the group were rubbish which served only to inspire an increase in the volume. I am prepared to concede, now, that I was completely wrong.

We arrived at Merimbula, the sounds of the Pixies reverberating

Frankston Times 22 February 2016

against the glass as we pulled into the campsite. I don’t recall doing anything especially useful in terms of setting up the campsite which probably means I made myself scarce and left it to others. Frankly, I’m not sure what (if anything) I contributed

to the exercise. As I remember it, we spent our time there either at the beach or standing in a circle around the barbecue. At night, we trekked an incredible distance from the caravan park into town to go to the RSL, buy discounted beer and hope against hope that girls would talk to us.

But we were so much more than mere callow youth. That was the summer that we recorded our demo tape. It was then as it remains now; unheard by anyone except us, but between making it and reality setting in, anything seemed possible. It was recorded in our practice space at my father’s house. We borrowed a fourtrack recorder and we were incredibly pleased with the results. The fact that it existed made us walk taller, which was useful when trekking down the hill. It was like having a secret superpower.

Twenty-five years later, I have returned to Merimbula caravan park.

This time, it’s with my wife, two of my siblings and their families. It will, in every respect, be a very different kind of holiday. In the intervening period, the caravan park has changed almost as much as I have. The place seems to have sprouted all kinds of infrastructure; pools, barbecues, waterslides and so on. And beyond just camping sites there are cabins, a café and even a bar. Everything has changed.

But despite this transformation, I still feel the need to walk past our old camping site. It is remarkable how unremarkable it was. There is no statue commemorating our visit. Not even a plaque to mark the spot where

I’d decided to take an impromptu lie down, provoking persons unknown to make a little fortress out of empty cans before taking several photos on my camera that I only discovered when I got my photos back from the chemists. The ungrateful sods haven’t even named the performance space in the café after us. Granted, the performance space takes up less room than the espresso machine, but some kind of gesture would have been nice.

It’s almost as though our visit was not nearly as monumental for them as it was for us.

This time around, we didn’t walk down to the RSL in search of discounted beer. In fact, the walk into town feels a lot shorter than it did twenty-five years ago. Maybe I was less accustomed to walking then. And on this occasion, I go for a run every morning; through the town, along the beach and around the lake. Back in the early nineties, I would have only done that if I were being chased.

Which, all things considered, was not entirely out of the question.

Along the New South Wales coast are all kinds of shipwrecks; each of them monuments to the end of something. It’s funny. Had the me of twenty five years ago rocked up and taken the camping spot next to the me of today, I’d be horrified. As we prepared to head home, it struck me that I needed to reconcile the past with the present. It was obvious: I needed to listen to that old demo tape.

With an eight-hour trip ahead of us, at least there was plenty of time. Let the music begin. www.stuartmccullough.com

A TASTE OF THE EXOTIC

By Andrea Louise Thomas

Each year Frankston is taken by storm as the city is immersed in the stories, music, sport, dance, food, film and arts of Latin American, Spanish and Portuguese cultures. The annual month-long Ventana Festival is a highlight of the city’s calendar providing authentic insights into the cultural diversity of Spanish-speaking countries.

With events and activities for all ages, such as, a pop up film festival, concerts, bilingual storytelling, craft and costume displays,

soccer, capoeira, luche libre (Mexican wrestling), and educational workshops, each year Ventana gets bigger and better.

Ventana’s Street Fiesta on March 14 is a dazzling display of colour, flavour, song and dance. The ‘Queen of the Sea’ procession kicks it off with Carnival dancers in spectacular costumes sashaying their way from the beach into the CBD. Music and dance continue until 8 pm. A food, drink and craft bazaar on Wells Street offers the tastes

and scents of Latin America. Try the pupusa from El Salvador.

The event opens on Friday, 26th February with live music, entertainment, refreshment and an immersive cultural art exhibition. An inspirational film, Landfill Harmonic, about the members of the Paraguayan Youth Orchestra who make musical instruments from the trash they collect at the local landfill screens at 8:30 pm. Opening night events at Frankston Arts Centre from 7 pm.

That sinking feeling: Peninsula Old Boys rolled Sorrento for 212. They were chasing 297.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

Four is set in Provincial

PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully THE top four is set in MPCA Provincial cricket after Baxter pulled off a superb outright victory against Moorooduc on Saturday.

With just one round remaining in the home and away season, a one day fixture, Baxter is 12 points clear of Langwarrin, who also charged up the ladder after winning outright against Rye. Sorrento is also just one game behind Baxter in sixth place on the ladder. Sorrento is assured a win against Rye in the final game but they are no chance of getting 20 wickets in 40 overs and make a score themselves.

Sorrento’s percentage of 0.8 is also ordinary. Langwarrin has a percentage

of 1.0 and Baxter 1.2. Baxter is in the box seat to hang on, even if they were to lose this weekend.

Baxter tackles Pines at home in the final game. The Piners are a notorious one day outfit and won’t be easy pickings.

Langwarrin plays Mt Eliza. Mt Eliza’s form of late has been very good with three wins in their past four matches, against Pines, Rye and Mornington. Their only loss since round seven came against ladder leaders Peninsula Old Boys by 60 runs (233 v 171).

All Baxter needed to do on day two of its clash against Moorooduc was take 10 wickets and not allow the opposition to score any more than 120 to 150 runs.

With a first innings lead of 105, Baxter rolled the opposition for 123

in the second innings and needed just 19 runs in more than 30 overs to pickup the maximum points.

Their star Dale Irving was superb once again for the winners, snaring 5/21 from 13 overs to go with his 3/47 in the first innings and unbeaten 45 with the bat.

Sam Wolsgrove really made a claim for a spot in the team with 3/39 in the first innings and 2/15 from eight overs in the second dig.

Leigh Lambert scored 38 for the Ducs in the second innings.

Langwarrin leg spinner Matty Prosser ripped through the Rye batting line up in the first and second innings to claim match figures of 10/55 in its outright victory.

Langwarrin made 172 in its first innings and had the home side in real trouble at 5/43 overnight.

The Demons made just 12 more runs before being forced to bat again.

Matty Prosser snared 4/6 in the first innings.

Rye scored 108 in the second innings but it wasn’t enough to force Langwarrin to bat again. Prosser picked up 6/49 in the second dig while older brother Jake Prosser claimed 2/2.

Crib Point was in hot water against Long Island overnight at 6/46, chasing 106, however, Brad Davidson (92) and Ricky Thompson (32) got the second placed Pies over the line.

Crib Point finished on 188, an easy 80 run victory in the end.

Mt Eliza made it three wins from its past four matches with a strong performance against Mornington.

After scoring 256, the Mounties were looking to keep their form on

song and build momentum through to next year.

Mornington resumed on 0/10 and added just another 122 runs. Nick Baron picked up 4/20 and Justin Savio 3/41 for the Mounties.

Pines was well beaten by Somerville.

Defending 186, the Piners couldn’t make inroads into the Eagles’ batting line up. The visitors pulled up stumps at 3/187. Jack Barbour was unbeaten on 61.

Peninsula Old Boys cruised to victory against Sorrento.

The home side, defending 297, rolled the Sorras for 212. Anthony Balckwell top scored for the visitors with 58 while Bobby Wilson scored 42. Adam Jones was the picked of the Old Boys bowlers with 3/16.

Braves limping to the finals DISTRICT

By IT Gully BADEN Powell is in a world of pain in MPCA District cricket after losing its third match in a row on Saturday.

After dominating the early part of the season, where they failed to lose a game before Christmas, the Braves are now on their knees, searching for ways to try and turn around their once blistering form.

Despite the Braves poor form, their superb percentage of 1.60 is sure to hold them in the top bracket, even if they were to lose against Main Ridge in the final match of the season, a one-dayer.

The Braves’ last victory came on January 9 when they beat Boneo in

PAGE 30

a one day game. They have lost to Pearcedale, Red Hill and now Mt Martha since that victory.

Baden Powell is in third place right now with 84 points. Flinders is in fourth position on 72 points, along with Seaford and Heatherhill.

While the Braves appear to be safe, despite their bad form, the race for fourth place is where the interest lies.

Flinders goes into battle with Seaford Tigers in the final round. The Sharks have a percentage of 1.24.

Seaford, in fifth place, goes head to head with top of the table Red Hill.

Seaford has a percentage of 1.09.

Heatherhill is in sixth place with a percentage of 1.02 and plays Mt Martha this Saturday.

Flinders just needs to win to ensure

Frankston Times 22 February 2016

that it keeps its place in the top four.

The Hills will be brimming with confidence after knocking over the Hillmen on Saturday.

After scoring 197, the Hills had the ladder leaders reeling at 5/36 overnight. Simon Dart hit 76 and Brent Martin 37 to give the Hillmen a sniff, however, they still fell 29 runs short (169).

The Hills have blooded a lot of kids this season and the future looks bright for this once powerful club.

Flinders did a real job on Main Ridge.

Defending 242, the Sharks rolled the home side for just 101 with Matt Burns superb with 6/29, giving him 22 wickets for the season.

Blake Hogan-Keogh was more than

solid for the winners also with 3/35 from 18 overs.

Seaford had its season on the line on Saturday and couldn’t step up to the plate against Pearcedale.

Seaford was chasing a modest total of 9/210 and didn’t get close, rolled for 115.

Kaine Smith was sensational once again for the Panthers with 4/15 and Chris Dew and Shayne Gillings claimed 3/33 and 3/35 respectively.

What a superb effort from this cricket club (Pearcedale) to go from ‘struggle street’ to premiers in subbies last season and now they are a real shot for the title in District this season.

Boneo has had a tough season but its form has been pretty good of late

and they were rewarded with their first win of the season on Saturday against Delacombe Park.

Boneo bowled out Delacombe Park for 145 after scoring 8/285 on day one of the match.

Leigh Janssen was great for Boneo with 5/28 from 23.3 overs.

The Pandas now play Carrum in the final game of the season. The winner will avoid relegation.

Carrum made 199 against Seaford Tigers but it was still almost 70 runs short of victory.

Jake D’Atri top scored for the Lions with 59 and Shaun Foster scored 39.

The Lions must beat Boneo this weekend to stay in District next season.

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard

Blues look wobbly after losses SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully THE MPCA Sub District ladder was put to rest last night after Frankston YCW staged a wonderful outright victory against Skye to lock in a place in the top four.

Even more impressive was Rosebud’s reverse outright win performance against Hastings, giving them a valuable 12 points and locking them into fourth place.

Hastings is a little wobbly right now and faces Dromana in a one day game this weekend.

The Blues have won only one of its past three games, being beaten by Rosebud on the weekend and Frankston YCW – both finals teams.

If the Blues lose to Dromana this weekend, it means they won’t have beaten a side in the top four heading into the business end.

The Blues will still finish in second place on the ladder, regardless of results in the final round. Dromana will finish on top.

YCW is locked in with 80 points. It is 14 points clear of fifth placed Carrum Downs. The Stonecats travel to Balnarring for their final match.

Rosebud is on 72 points and plays Skye at Skye. Carrum Downs plays host to Ballam Park.

You would expect the Stonecats, Buds and Cougars all to win and for the ladder to remain unchanged.

Rosebud resumed on 4/34 on Saturday, chasing Hastings first innings total of 120. Luke Hewitt snared 4/21 and Isuru

Dias 3/12 as the Blues rolled the Buds for 99 and claimed first innings points.

Rosebud’s Pat Nagel then tore through the Blues batting line up and snared 4/7 and Billy Quigley picked up 3/14 as the visitors were bowled out for just 38.

Rosebud then picked up the 60 odd runs needed to claim the reverse outright and keep their season well and truly alive.

Frankston YCW led by almost 100 runs on first innings as they headed into day two.

After bowling out Skye for 48 in the first innings, they had to work harder in the second innings and sent the opposition packing for 182.

YCW then needed 105 runs to pick up the outright and lock in a place in the top four. They did so losing just two wickets along the way. Lai Leaunoa followed up his 63 in the first inning with an unbeaten 76 in 19 overs in the second dig, including four sixes and eight fours.

Dromana fell one wicket short of getting an outright win against Carrum Downs.

Resuming at 5/88, chasing 48, Dromana finished on 193. In the second innings, Carrum Downs held on to the end of the day to get to 9/74.

Tootgarook chased down the 236 needed for victory against Balnarring, passing the total eight wickets down.

The Frogs’ victory came on the back of 108 runs from Scott Sterling, while Travis French contributed 40.

Tyabb beat Ballam Park by 58 runs.

Resuming at 2/72 chasing 110 for victory, Tyabb scored 168 with Michael Edwards top scoring with 45.
