Old world meets new THOUSANDS of people from around the region and further afield headed up to Red Hill on Saturday for the show, the famous Red Hill Agriculture and Horticultural Society’s 86th annual event. Red Hill is last show standing on the peninsula and drew competitors of all ages and with all kinds of animals and produce as well as modern attractions such as riders doing tricks on motorbikes, stiltwalkers and food sellers with exotic offerings that would have bamboozled your great-grandfather.

Pioneers of the district would have recognised two regular crowd favourites – the woodchopping and working dog demonstrations in the main arena.

Some things should never change.

The show is not technically over just yet – the Clydesdales and Heavy Harness Show is on Saturday 5 April at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre with show jumping on Saturday 5 April and Sunday 6 April at the equestrian centre on Boneo Rd. For details, call 5989 2357 or visit www.redhillshow. com.au Pet showoffs: Alexis of McCrae and her alpaca Tequila, and Anna Townsend of Shoreham and her rat George (inset) were among hundreds of young people competing at the show on Saturday.

Hillview’s new quarry

By Mike Hast HILLVIEW Quarries has opened a new pit on Arthurs Seat and has started removing gravel and stone after clearing bush and building haul roads.

The work explains the higher than normal amount of dust created by the company in recent months, which has generated public comment and complaint.

The company gained permission to open the new area from Mornington

Peninsula Shire in January 2006.

A condition of the permit was Hillview should avoid stripping topsoil or overburden from the site “during the summer months where possible”.

The new pit is southwest of the main pit and is closer to Arthurs Seat Rd. It was formerly the site of Hillview’s magazine, where explosives are stored.

The News understands the main pit is no longer being worked as it has become uneconomic.

The company has permission to ex-

tract 2.6 million tonnes of brown stone and 11.4 million tonnes of grey stone from the new area.

Owned by the R E Ross Trust, Hillview extracts about 650,000 tonnes each year of high-quality aggregate and crushed rock.

The company lodged its planning application with the shire in August 2005 and it was open for public comment between late September and early November.

Just one objection was received. The

The permit includes a landscaping and rehabilitation plan.

Hillview owns about 60 hectares (150 acres) on the northern slope of Arthurs Seat at Dromana.

The company says quarrying at Hillview’s site on Arthurs Seat escarpment has occurred for about 90 years.

council approved the plan in December, no appeal was lodged at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, and the permit was issued in January 2006.

On Friday, the shire’s director of sustainable environment, Stephen Chapple, told The News the permit included permission to remove native vegetation.

The permit replaced one issued in May 1989. He said the January 2006 permit was amended in May 2006 “to

Bureaucrats put democracy on hold COMMENT

By David Harrison WHAT an utter farce; what contempt for the democratic process. The Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate has further delayed the case against Cr Graham Pittock for alleged conflict of interest until 15 August – a total delay of close to 800 days.

This means the inspectorate, a secret tribunal that encourages and acts on anonymous complaints, will have dilly-dallied for more than two years over this matter, to the extreme detriment of our local democracy.

Cr Pittock (pictured) cannot vote on the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre and SPA-related matters until the inspectorate’s charges are dealt with.

The conflict charges, laid in June 2012, were to be heard in the week starting 24 March after a huge delay.

But, with little notice, the inspectorate’s expert witness couldn’t make the date.

So sorry! Just keep not voting, Cr Pittock, on this massive, and massively controversial, $40-plus million scheme, which will send shire rates rocketing for years and may well be a white elephant.

Let’s hope the inspectorate’s expert witness will front Frankston Magistrates’ Court in August.

Two councillors are now unable to vote on SPA. The other is Cr Frank Martin, currently on extended leave to recuperate from illness. He is one of the six pro-foreshore pool site group.

Cr Pittock opposes the chosen site, but not the pool complex.

Cr Martin was mayor when the conflict of interest charge was laid. He wrote to Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell on 22 June 2012 to complain about a council vote on SPA that occurred when he and others were absent. The anti-foreshore group had the majority and used it, to the fury of their opponents.

Cr Martin’s letter informed the minister that Cr Pittock was “currently under investigation by the Local Government Inspectorate regarding a direct conflict of interest directly related to SPA”.

This was a week before the inspectorate notified Cr Pittock. Clearly someone knew the complaint had been made and Cr Martin had become aware of it, which is not to suggest the complaint was made by Cr Martin.

The complaint has been tracked back to a Dromana-based service club.

It has been stated it was revenge for a public meeting on SPA in May 2012 organised by councillors Pittock and Tim Rodgers.

I was one of hundreds who attended a packed Rosebud Memorial Hall to listen to all points of view on SPA. It was the only such meeting that enabled both sides to put their views, and in a properly moderated forum.

To its deep disgrace, the shire has not run a single meeting of this sort. Why? Because the ruling councillor clique

does not want views other than its own aired. And they get their way, because effectively they run the shire.

It looks likely the person who made the conflict of interest complaint intended to prevent Cr Pittock from voting on SPA matters. The complaint shows a lack of respect for the democratic process on which we all rely for orderly governance.

It is that easy to interfere with the democratic process, at least at local government level.

Chairlift protest

1DXJKW\LADIES with HUNKMANIA

From 3.30pm $25 per person

A “MAKERS’ bazaar” is being held on Saturday by Revamped Jewellery, a not-for-profit organisation that raises money for women’s charities by recycling, revamping and selling donated jewellery.

As well as jewellery, there will be other stalls selling homewares, clothing, pottery and photography.

The bazaar will run 9am-1pm at 1/4 Carbine Way, Mornington (off Racecourse Rd).

Details: 0438 437 519.

THE first formal protest meeting against the proposed $14 million Arthurs Seat chairlift gondola since the planning application was submitted to Mornington Peninsula Shire will be held on Sunday.

“Save Arthurs Seat Community Protest” has been organised by Friends of Arthurs Seat and will be held from 3-5pm at the summit.

Friends co-convenor Matt Bisogni said the group had invited Simon McKeon and Hans Brugman of chairlift proponent Arthurs Seat Skylift; MPs Martin Dixon (state) and Greg Hunt (federal); the mayor Cr Antonella Celi and Cr Graham Pittock, both of Seawinds Ward; and Richard Hudson, who operated the old chairlift.

Mr Bisogni said the group would use helium balloons to “mark out the shape, size and boundaries of the proposed upper station including the height”.

“This will show the extent of the building and of the proposed loss of public land,” he said.

“We’re asking people to come and make their feelings known, be they for or against.”

The meeting will feature entertainment by Charlie Owen and crew, Marty Nelson Williams, and other musicians.

THE peril to wildlife of unwanted or lost fishing tackle was brought home to Rob and Robyn Varney during a walk along Portsea back beach toward London Bridge.

Inspection of a clump of washed up seaweed showed it had apparently acted as a sea anchor to two Australian gannets that had become entangled by fishing line wrapped around the weed.

Mr Varney said the birds’ beaks were tied together by the “fine yellow string or possibly a crude fishing line”.

“The twine was wrapped around their bodies,” he said.

A band attached to one of the bird’s legs will be sent to the federal environment department’s Australian Bird and Bat Banding Scheme.

“We untied the birds and let them float back out to sea on the next tide.

“This is a timely warning for fisherman, boaties and beach-goers generally not to throw items overboard or leave rubbish on the beach that can result in scenes like this.

“Over the years we have found close to a dozen dead banded seabirds in the southern Mornington Peninsula area; that’s why we always have a closer look when we see dead birds washed up.”

THIS WEEK

TIPS on how to buy genuine “green” products will be part of a presentation being held at the Eco Living Display Centre at The Briars Park in Mt Martha.

The Centre for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies (CERES) will present “Are you being washed? A guide on how to make sustainable shopping choices, source local suppliers, access fair trade or organic products at reasonable prices and buy sustainably sourced seafood”.

The CERES presentation will be at The Briar Park, 450 Nepean Highway, Mt Martha, 1-2.30pm Saturday 5 April. Cost is $15 a person. Book on 5987 3078.

Rosebud next in line for men’s shed ROSEBUD West will have a men’s shed behind Seawinds Community Hub after the state government announced a grant of $60,000 on Friday.

The grant will be matched by Mornington Peninsula Shire’s $30,000 for a project expected to cost about $180,000.

The money will come from the two bodies in the next financial year.

Land for the 300-square metre shed has been made available by the shire as part of the deal.

The shire’s community projects officer Ken Dyson said plans were being drawn up and it was hoped southern peninsula businesses would donate goods and services.

The Rosebud West project follows ones at Somerville-Tyabb and at Mornington announced earlier in the year.

Mr Dyson said it was hoped to pour the slab for the Western Port shed in about a month.

The state government in late February announced a grant of $60,000 for the Mornington men’s shed, which will see renovation of a section of the former Mornington Secondary College near Peninsula Community Theatre for a shed of about 150 square metres.

The shire is tipping in $40,000 for Mornington, and $20,000 will come from public donations and in-kind work from men’s shed members.

Rosebud West shed members will contribute about 2000 hours of labour, Mr Dyson said.

He said a group of about 15 men was operating out of the Seawinds hub but did not have facilities for activities such as woodwork and metalwork.

“Seawinds hub manager Judy Doolan put a sign up a few weeks ago

Going up: Rick Marr of the men’s shed, left, Judy Doolan of Seawinds hub, mayor Cr Antonella Celi, Nepean MP Martin Dixon and shire CEO Michael Kennedy in front of where the shed will be built behind the hub.

about the men’s shed and we received about 35 expressions of interest.

There is certainly a need for a shed,” he said.

On Friday, Nepean MP Martin Dixon announced the grant and said men’s sheds were “a great community investment helping to reconnect men who may feel disenfranchised or disconnected from their own communities after retirement”.

“I have already seen how our existing local men’s shed network builds new friendships and peer support groups both among members as well

as with our other community groups and organisations.

“We have a huge clientele waiting for this facility as there is currently no additional space available at the hub for these types of projects for men or youth.”

Judy Doolan said there was “a high local demand for these services, so we are looking forward to work commencing as soon as possible”.

Details: Call Seawinds Community Hub on 5982 2204 to assist with donations of materials and tools or join the shed.

IN Australia, men’s sheds have been around in various guises for many years including as preservation societies for railways, cars and motorbikes, and farm machinery, for example.

The first men’s sheds in the modern format started in Broken Hill in the 1970s, and the concept gained momentum after the formation of the Australian Men’s Shed Association in 2007, the peak body for more than 800 men’s sheds in Australia.

The state government is giving $4.9 million to build 41 new men’s sheds in Victoria.

It will provide more than $2.2 million from the $4 million Strengthening Men’s Sheds program, and nearly $2.7 million will be provided by local councils, the federal government, philanthropic organisations, community groups and fundraising activities.

There are more than 230 sheds in Victoria, created to help mainly retired men feel useful and contribute again to their communities, learning and sharing knowledge and skills, making friends, and accessing health and wellbeing information and advice.

There are men’s sheds in Mornington, Hastings, Somerville–Tyabb, and Safety Beach–Dromana on the peninsula as well as in Frankston North, Langwarrin, Chelsea, Cranbourne and Keysborough.

Mum ‘handed keys’ to unlicensed teenager learner. Rosebud police said the woman “won’t be up for mother of the year any time soon”.

The previous day, Rosebud police were called to an alleged road rage incident in Rye. Police were told a female driver was attempting to overtake a vehicle on Point Nepean Rd that allegedly forced her into the path of an oncoming car at about 9.30am.

The driver of the approaching vehicle was forced into the bicycle lane to avoid colliding with her car.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident are keen to speak with the occupants of the oncoming vehicle,

a white, late-model Toyota Corolla, believed to be occupied by an elderly couple.

Information can be given to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Meanwhile, Victoria Police road policing commander Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill last week launched a new road safety campaign on the Mornington Peninsula that aims to save young lives by encouraging teenage passengers to provide a positive influence to drivers.

Mt Eliza Secondary College was the first school in the state to participate in the new Fit2Drive workshop, which is set to be rolled out across Victoria.

The workshop is targeted at the state’s 60,000 year 11 students and aims to change attitudes to road safety by encouraging friends and passengers to intervene to persuade young drivers against dangerous behaviour such as speeding, using mobile devices while behind the wheel and drink-driving.

The workshop includes group discussions, using scenarios to explore strategies to keep young people and their friends safe, role-playing to support the development of problem-solving skills, and development of personal and school road safety plans.

THE state government will give Mornington Peninsula Shire $240,000 over the next two financial years for emergency management.

The cash was announced by Mornington MP David Morris who said the government’s Municipal Emergency Resourcing Program would assist councils “prepare local communities and businesses for emergencies”.

“Victoria has experienced a series of events in recent years, including recent bushfires, which have demonstrated the importance of agencies working together,” he said.

Mr Morris said the shire played “a crucial role in emergency management, primarily around planning for an emergency response, preparing communities and providing support to services such as the CFA, Department of Environment and Primary Industries, SES and Victoria Police”.

Government grants paid for shire emergency management officers to be trained, plans to be prepared, fire prevention work, participation in multi-agency relief exercises, and running of the Vulnerable Persons Register, he said.

“Sixty-four councils in CFA districts will share $9.12 million funding as they continue to address recommendations of the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission and assist in their role of planning for and protecting communities during emergencies.”

Polio clinic free of charge POLIO Services Victoria (PSV) is holding a clinic at Rosebud Hospital’s Hillview annexe on Tuesday 15 April for people to consult PSV’s rehabilitation physician, orthotist and physiotherapist about polio-related health issues.

Registration must be made by Monday 31 March by calling 1800 030 324 or emailing psv@svhm.org. au Appointments of 30 minutes will be scheduled after the closing date.

Russel Anbiah of PSV said people registering would be contacted in the week starting 31 March and “asked questions about polio-related problems”.

“There is often high demand for appointments and they will be issued according to priority and urgency.

People registering will need to get an indefinite medical referral from a GP. “This must be arranged before attending and allows us to bulk bill, so there is no charge.”

A tale of woe, no milk or biscuits and cold water COUNCIL unWATCHed

By David Harrison Special Purposes Committee meeting, 5pm, 17 March 2014. Venue: Mornington shire offices. Biscuits, no milk, no hot water.

THE agenda contained several potentially interesting items – “Chairperson advice to public” and a tender relating to Mt Martha Life Saving Club. Plus a rumour had circulated the long absence from the council of Cr Frank Martin of Red Hill Ward was to be discussed.

And there was Item 3 – “Confidential items: confidential report”. Was this the Frank Martin matter? It was known Cr Martin had undergone an operation and, according to Cr David Gibb, a benign lump had been removed and Cr Martin would make a full recovery.

So Council Watch and friend – the entire complement of the public gallery – took our seats at the appointed hour, only to find a distinct dearth of councillors and the tea urn cold.

The sole elected representative at the council table was Tim Rodgers. The meeting, he informed us, had been adjourned (before starting time?) and councillors were meeting in a separate room.

Fifty-five minutes later they appeared. First item: a motion from Cr Anne Shaw to close the meeting. Carried. We left, but could have listened at a crack in the door had we been so

minded during a longish wait.

No info was given, as a courtesy to the departing gallery, that the meeting would be closed for more than an item or two. It was the shire’s muchvaunted openness and transparency at its opaque zenith.

It turned out the entire meeting was to have been confidential, despite the agenda not being so marked. After the meeting, sustainable development director Stephen Chapple waved his copy of the agenda at CW when questioned, to show it was marked “Confidential”.

CW waved his copy, clearly not similarly marked, right back. Nor were the agendas left outside the chamber for the public marked confidential.

So why would a “confidential” meeting contain an item “Advice to the public”, plus another marked “confidential”? Was this item doubly confidential?

Why would they discuss behind closed doors the health of Cr Martin and his request for a further 10 weeks of sick leave? Isn’t this a matter of public interest?

The good folk of Red Hill Ward are entitled to know the condition of their councillor and when he is likely to return to duty. They have been effectively disenfranchised, without a

word of explanation from the shire or Cr Martin.

He has not been to a meeting since at least last December and is understood to be receiving further treatment for his malady. As Red Hill is a singlecouncillor ward, its residents and ratepayers will remain without their councillor until at least early June.

Cr Gibb, one of three Seawinds Ward councillors, had recently offered to take over Cr Martin’s ward duties but this was politely declined on the basis that Cr Gibb has a heavy work load as it is. Cr David Garnock is believed to have offered to represent the coastal villages of Red Hill Ward.

As to the doubly confidential “confidential” matter, CW learned from the creatures who live behind the council wainscotting that it was which items related to the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (part of Cr Gibb’s heavy workload) could be released to the public and which could not.

It seems the items to be released (or not, as the case may be) contain some very interesting stuff indeed. CW yearns for a copy of the doubly confidential “Confidential” material.

Epilogue: CW has just noticed that, after Item 4.1, “Council communicator”, came Item 4.3, “Assembly of councillors – confidential items”.

A trebly confidential “Confidential” meeting? Quick, someone call ASIO.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to change Constitution: judge AUSTRALIA cannot advance until it acknowledges the role of its original inhabitants in the Constitution, says Justice Kevin Bell of the Victorian Supreme Court.

A peninsula resident, Justice Bell will explore reconciliation, human rights and constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with a panel of experts at the inaugural Baany to Warrna Ngargee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Water to Water Festival at The Briars Park in Mt Martha from 1.30-9.30pm on Saturday 29 March.

Chaired by David Habersberger, a former judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Bell will be joined by other legal experts, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner Mick Gooda and community members.

Justice Bell was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2005 and is a former president of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. He has written leading judgments under the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 (Vic). He was a barrister at the Victorian Bar for 20 years (QC from 1997) practising extensively in native title, administrative and constitutional law.

Justice Bell said the panel would explore the importance of constitutional reform, what it would mean to the Australian identity, and why racism in the Constitution â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a major moral problemâ&#x20AC;?.

Hillview Quarries working new pit Continued from Page 1 “R E Ross formed Hillview Quarries Pty Ltd in 1968 and shortly after acquired T W Maw and Sons Pty Ltd, which operated small quarries on the site,” Hillview’s website states.

“Hillview and Maw formed a partnership to develop the site into a modern quarry operation, transforming the site from its seven small separate quarries to a single ... operation and manufacturing plant.

“After some early disruptions due to clearing and permit challenges, Hillview reopened in 1971 with a new crushing plant and work plans that allowed the site to be opened up with modern quarrying practices.”

A new crushing plant was built in 2006.

Hillview says it is “duty bound to preserve and enhance the habitat and flora on the site. Hillview has planted more than 80,000 trees ... which incidentally was totally clearfelled for farming land in the early 1900s”.

The Hillview property is abutted by homes to the north, with the nearest house about 197 metres from the approved extraction limit, and to the southwest where the nearest house is 544 metres away.

It is located in the green wedge zone and is subject to an environmental significance overlay, vegetation protection overlay, significant landscape overlay, and an erosion management overlay.

Existing remnant vegetation is considered to be of high conservation value and site is of state significance for fauna.

Rocking and rolling: Hillview Quarries workers clear gravel and overburden from the new pit southwest of the existing one (inset), which has been closed after providing stone for more than 40 years. The company says some form of quarrying has occurred on its Arthurs Seat escarpment property for more than 90 years. Pictures: Supplied

Many hands make safety net in the shore break “I got dumped and it was so good,” Ms Bailey, now sitting high and dry in a wheelchair, tells a passing DSA volunteer who said he’d heard about her underwater experience.

“You feel so safe. I’ve never been dumped before, but I could feel their arms grabbing me when I was under water and I knew I wasn’t on my own.

“I can sort of paddle in a pool, but there’s no way I could survive out here, no way.”

With a disarming candour, Ms Bailey told The News: “I will not have a normal lifespan, my heart and lungs are muscles. I doubt I’ll get to 80, it will kill me.”

The “it” she is speaking about is Friedreich’s ataxia, a degenerative muscular disease described by the state government-funded Better Health Channel as a “relatively rare inherited disease of the nervous system characterised by the gradual loss of coordination”.

“The affected person is unable to control their muscles, which leads to tremors, an unsteady gait and slurred speech. To the casual observer, a person with Friedreich’s ataxia may seem to be drunk.”

Ms Bailey’s diagnosis fits in with the normal onset of symptoms, “kicking in” when she was 13.

Now 44, she remembers being considered “the klutz of the family”, the one who bumped into things because she was in a hurry.

“Mum used to say I was like a bull in a china shop.”

After her diagnosis, Ms Bailey underwent surgery for curvature of

the spine, but nothing could stop the steady onset of the disease.

“Until then I was active like any other kid, riding bikes and everything else. I didn’t know anything was wrong.

“But once I had the diagnosis I knew my nerves weren’t working properly.”

Her sister, older by six years, was found to be clear of Friedreich’s ataxia but her younger brother “got his [positive] diagnosis in his 20s after it kicked in when he was about 18”.

Ms Bailey says her three children –

daughters 18 and 24 and a 16-year-old son - “are carriers, but won’t suffer it and at least they now know that it’s in the family”.

There are no records of any family members other than Ms Bailey and her brother having Friedreich’s ataxia.

These days Ms Bailey keeps herself as active as possible. It was her third time surfing at Point Leo and she has been participating in the Sailability program at Mornington Yacht Club for the past nine years. She also goes to a gym and has hydrotherapy once a week.

The advance of Friedreich’s ataxia is something she “only notices every now again when I realise I can’t do something that was possible a year before”.

The relative rareness of the condition means that there are just 69 Australian contributors to a Facebook page established to help the “fight against” the disease.

“I get shitty at it but consider myself very lucky – I’ve seen others who are worse than me, but haven’t had [the onset of] the disease for as long,” Ms Bailey said.

By Keith Platt BEING held underwater in the washing machine-like throws of a shore break is not easy at the best of times.

It’s daunting and can be terrifying.

But to be dumped when you can’t use your legs, which are wrapped in a sort of rubberised cocoon, must surely be the stuff of nightmares.

However, Krista Bailey felt “so safe” when it happened to her at Point Leo. “I could feel arms grabbing me – I knew I wasn’t alone,” she said.

Ms Bailey was one of 118 people with physical and mental disabilities at the beach for a “surfing experience” courtesy of the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers Association.

On Saturday 15 March the wind was offshore and the waves not huge, although size doesn’t matter when they rear up and crash onto the sand.

Nearly 260 volunteers were on hand to help people with disabilities enjoy a day at the beach.

Ms Bailey’s wipeout came when she fell off while lying on a surfboard being pushed by a wave to the beach through a channel formed between two lines of people.

The 20 or so people forming the human safety net were standing about a metre apart, ready to reach down and pick her up if she fell off the board.

Without this “zone of security” there was no way many of the disabled surfers would be able to even contemplate entering the water, let along catch a wave.

WE, the long-suffering public transport users of the Mornington Peninsula, demand that Mornington Peninsula Shire stops replacing the old bus shelters that provided proper shelter in all weather and gave us all enough room to sit down.

The new bus shelters are ineffective, open to vandalism and simply hopeless, not to mention ugly. Who makes these stupid decisions at the council?

We demand that council put back the old shelter on the corner of Main and Cromwell streets, Mornington, and also put back the rubbish bin that has been removed.

Anna Samuelssen, Dromana

Widespread disease continues to harm THE devastating effects of asbestos diseases continue to impact thousands of Australian families each year and new research shows the effects are more widespread than previously thought.

Southern Cross University launched the research this week that investigated the social, psychological and economic impacts of asbestos-related diseases on sufferers, carers and their families.

Researchers were able to gain valuable insight from participants of a peer-to-peer online community, the “Dusted Community”.

What they found was that those living in regional areas were often isolated and looking for a way to connect with people in similar situations.

An important part of the research showed emerging technology has a role to play in reducing the social isolation. Perhaps online communities such as this is the way forward in helping provide support for those feeling isolated while dealing with this deadly disease.

I must commend all the online community

participants for being so brave and sharing their experiences.

We see first-hand how families are affected by asbestos, which is why we wholeheartedly support any effort that will hopefully lead to further research and, one day, a cure.

Joanne Wade, asbestos lawyer, Slater & Gordon Senior

We must keep talking about alcohol ALCOHOL-fuelled violence has been a hot topic for years, but lately public debate has shifted to the underlying Australian drinking culture at the heart of the issue.

VicHealth’s research shows drinking is seen as normal in most social situations, from funerals to children’s birthday parties, at the footy and everything in between. In fact, the only places where Australians think it’s not right to drink are at church, a baby shower and a study group.

So it’s not surprising we are starting to question whether alcohol – and quite often a lot of it – is needed to enjoy our social lives.

VicHealth thinks this conversation is an important step toward changing the culture of alcohol in Victoria.

Together with the state government, we are almost at the end of our summer campaign to get people talking.

We’ve asked Victorians aged 16 to 29 to come up with a creative name for the point in the night when clear thinking turns into more drinking.

We’ve had a great response so far from thousands of young people who are ready to talk about alcohol.

The competition is down to the final 20 names. We encourage all Victorians to go to www.namethatpoint.com to take part in the conversation. Anyone who votes for their top name has the chance to win $1000.

Timor quest for Rosebud school schoolies ies ROSEBUD Secondary College VCE students are being encouraged to enjoy their end-of-exam schoolies celebrations with a visit to TimorLeste (East Timor).

The school last week hosted Thomas Lopes of the small Timorese town of Lospalos, five hoursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drive east of the capital Dili, and Kim Dunphy of charity organisation Many Hands International.

The visitors spoke to year 12 students about the chance to travel to Timor-Leste for 10 days after they have finished VCE exams.

The students selected will prepare a program of creative arts including drama, music, dance, visual and/or media arts, which they will share with young people in Lospalos.

Although Lospalos has a strong and unique cultural identity, there is also high unemployment, low income and poor access to education, which has resulted in youth disengagement.

The project seeks to assist positive development in Timor-Leste by encouraging active global citizenship of young Australians through

a partnership between Many Hands International and Rosebud Secondary College.

Two Rosebud students, Joshua Finley and Laura Smith, visited Timor-Leste as part of a pilot project at the end of last year. The visit had many positive outcomes for the young people of both countries.

A unique element of the project is its aim to offer alternatives to typical schoolies experiences for VCE graduates by providing valuebased activities and increasing opportunities for pro-social alternatives.

With growing concern for the culture of binge drinking connected with schoolies, the project hopes to expand in years to come and offer larger groups of students productive and safe alternatives for celebrating the end of VCE. Deakin University is supporting the project and will use evidence from the exchange to support research projects aimed at making a difference in reducing problem drinking among youth across Australia.

Horse talk: Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare group members Vicci and Ruby Halchenko, Sue Day, Helen Burke and Gai Van Staveren with Chopper the horse.

Horse talk proves fertile fodder PENINSULA horse owners are invited to a workshop hosted by Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare group to learn about sustainable horse property management.

It will feature advice from experts Jane and Stuart Myers this Sunday at Boneo Park.

Main Ridge property owners Gai and John Van Staveren attended the group’s first workshop and said it gave them knowledge and skills to work toward a well-managed horse property.

“It was a tremendous opportunity to learn about sustainable property management,” Ms Van Staveren said.

The couple bought their property three years ago and said they were overjoyed to finally have a place to enjoy with their children, grandchildren and animals. But they quickly realised their dream property was suffering

invasion from pittosporum and other weeds and was prone to pugging (soil structural decline) in winter. Like many “tree changers”, they had a strong desire to care for their land but had limited experience in sustainable land management.

“Taking good care of our land is equally as important as caring for our horses,” she said.

Ms Van Staveren has since become a champion for sustainable horse management and is now president of the Equine Landcare group.

The workshop is from 9am-3.30pm on Sunday 30 March at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre, Boneo Rd. To book, email Vicci Halchenko at vic_jones6@hotmail.com For more information about the Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare group, email jacqueline.salter@mornpen.vic.gov.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Boat blown to sea causes excitement; fires cause loss of poultry Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 March 1914 SOME excitement was caused in Frankston on Monday afternoon, when it was rumoured that a boating party was in distress on the Bay, near the Hermitage. There was a very strong wind blowing, though fortunately off the land, which did not permit of any sea being raised close in shore. Mr E. McComb, who was on the pier at the time, got his boat ready, and, accompanied by Messrs E. Burton and R. Ritchie, sailed to the rescue. The party in distress consisted of Mr and Mrs Fry and four children and Miss Graham, all of Yarraville. They kept their boat close in shore while they were fishing, but an extra strong gust caught them, and they were quickly blown a good distance out. Finding his efforts against the wind of no avail, Mr Fry dropped anchor, and kept his boat’s head to the sea. They were thus fairly safe, though uncomfortable, and the approach of the rescue party was welcomed. They were quickly got aboard the larger boat and conveyed to the Frankston pier, from which place they took a cab to their home, rather cold and wet, but none the worse for their adventure. It is said that this is Mr McComb’s 24th rescue on the Bay, and we congratulate him on his splendid record. *** BUSH fires were again in evidence around Frankston during the early part of the week. Mr C. W. Clarke’s residence had a narrow escape from destruction, and he had the misfor-

tune to have about twenty of his prize poultry burned. Only very strenuous efforts by the fire fighters kept the fire within bounds. A fire was also raging in the vicinity of the sandpits, but no serious damage has been reported. *** MRS C. Dalman returned to Frankston on Monday, after an enjoyable holiday, spent in Daylesford. *** THE host of friends of Mr H. Cameron, of Frankston, will greatly regret to learn that he is confined to his room, as the result of a fall sustained on Friday last. We sincerely hope that Mr Cameron will soon be about again. *** AT a meeting of the Frankston choral society held on Monday evening, Mr A. E. Gault, of Somerville, was appointed conductor. Miss O. Sherlock was also appointed hon. accompanist temporarily. *** AT the Somerville show, the maize exhibit was greatly admired and was a splendid illustration of what can be grown in a dry season without irrigation. The first prize lot was 13ft 6in. high, with well filled cobs from 12 to 15 inches in length, and was grown by Mr James Dee, on his farm at Somerville. Mr Dee has three acres of this quality, which is being grown for seed. *** ON Saturday next, April 4, Messrs T. R. B. Morton and Son (per Mr J. L. Parkes, one of their auctioneers) will sell by auction, on behalf of Mr S. W. Ramsay, all his surplus furniture,

farming sundries, household effects, and stock, as described in the hand bills, without reserve. The sale will commence at 1.30 p.m. on the premises, Cranbourne road, one and a quarter miles from Frankston station.

Refreshments will be provided.

The police at Frankston have lately been notified of several robberies from residences on “The Island” within the past fortnight, but so far no arrests have been made. *** THE Boy Scouts have again sought permission of Major C. W. Campbell, to hold their Easter camp on the grounds of Amesfield Park, and the request has been acceded to. Members of the St. Kilda Yacht Club have also requested permission for the use of the Amesfield Park beach house for the Easter holidays, and if permis-

sion is granted, a number of yachts will be in proximity of Frankston and Mornington during the forthcoming holidays. *** ONE day last week while driving in the township of Somerville, Mrs Griffeth and Miss Ruby Griffeth were thrown out of their jinker through their pony stumbling and falling down. Both were somewhat shaken, but fortunately neither were seriously hurt. *** IT will be a matter of great satisfaction to learn that the construction of the Frankston-Carrum road is to be commenced almost immediately. A light tramway, the rails for which have now arrived, is to be constructed along the section, for the convenience of the contractors for the cartage of their metal, etc. This road has been the bug bear of travellers in this district for many years, and when it is completed, all towns in the Peninsula should benefit greatly by the influx of tourists the improvement in the road is sure to bring. *** A PLEASANT evening was spent by members of the Frankston brass band on Saturday last, when they journeyed to Amesfield Park, the residence of Major C. W. Campbell.

The trip was made to bid the Major farewell and a safe journey before he left on his 4000 miles motor trip; also as a mark of appreciation for his donation of £5 towards the band funds.

A programme of enlivening selections was gone through by the band, and Major Campbell afterwards treated the members to a sumptu-

ous supper. A thoroughly enjoyable time was spent, and the members of the band returned well satisfied with their outing. *** AT the Mornington Police Court, before Dr Somers and Messrs J. G. Barrett, G. Flood, J. Grice, and A. E. Bates, J.’sP., Cecilia Mary Waters sued Wm. Waters for maintenance for herself and three children. Mr T. Fogarty appeared for complainant and Mr G. Detbridge for defendant.

After hearing evidence on both sides the Bench retired to consider their decision. On their return they advised that the parties confer, and suggested that defendant agree to allow complainant the sum of 10s per week for each child until they reach the age of 14 years. This the parties agreed to, and both complaints were struck out. *** A CONCERT and dramatic entertainment, under the direction of Mr Hugh McCartney will take place in the Mechanics’ Institute, Mornington, on Easter Monday night, the proceeds of which will be devoted to liquidate the debt on the Catholic Church. Among the favourite artistes to appear will be Miss Maggie Meagher, Miss Kitty Meagher, Mr Hugh McCartney, Mr T. H. McGilton, Mr T. Cope, Mr J. Meagher, and Master Jack McCartney. The effervescent comic drama, “Milky White,” which has caused such a sensation in the metropolis, will be produced by the well-known Emerald Dramatic Company, of Melbourne. After the entertainment the annual ball will be held. For further particulars see programmes and advertisements later.

Damnation, hellfire and the internet

By Stuart McCullough WOE is me. For, without really trying, I have angered the overlords of the internet and they have determined that I must be punished. In fact, they I have decided to smote me. Truth is, I have not been smote by anyone for ages and I am out of practice.

Clearly, they have decided to make an example of me. There’s little I can do other than rub ashes into my skin, start dressing in sackcloth and beg for forgiveness. Even then, I suspect it may be too late.

It’s always been an uneasy relationship. Truth be told, I’ve never really trusted the internet. Right from the beginning when people started to rave about an “information superhighway”, I made a secret pledge to use public transport instead. But some things are impossible to avoid. I may have succeeded in using a typewriter all the way through university, but at the point I was required to send emails, it was clear that my Remington was no longer up to the task.

But although I mistrust the internet, like everyone else I am beholden to it. I spend untold hours waiting for it to start up, shut down and load so that I can get on with my day. When the internet is running slowly, I become intensely frustrated. But there’s no one to complain to. For it is as impossible to inflict a wound on the internet as it is to reason with it. So, it seems, the transformation is now complete.

Having initially resisted, I am utterly at its mercy.

When I arrived home on Friday

night, the computer blithely informed me that I was no longer connected to the internet. It did so in sympathetic font and neutral language but the truth was far more savage – I had been banished. There were, of course, buttons to push. These make you feel as if you can fix the problem when, in truth, you have a better chance of building your own orbiting space sta-

enough, is inherently frustrating.

There are references to WEPs, Routers and LANs and other creatures that may or may not live in Middle Earth.

It’s almost as though through the use of a bizarre and infuriating dialect, the internet is punishing those of us who ever had the nerve to resist the shift to computers and teased those who embraced them. It is, put simply, the revenge of the nerds.

But how to fix it? Luckily, I’d kept the card with my account information.

Then I noted that for technical support, they offered an internet address.

Given the nature of my technical needs at that moment, this was about as useful as a three-wheeled sedan. It was obvious – they were toying with me.

It was then that I decided to go “old school”. Using a telephone directory, I was placed in a queue. As is the way with these things, they sought to weed out the weak by subjecting them to a horrible musical loop of Spanish flamenco guitar. I’m not sure what the piece in question is called, but if I were to hazard a guess, I’d say The Spanish Inquisition. It is music so plainly annoying that a life without the internet suddenly doesn’t seem so bad. Tantalisingly, I am told that I am only six minutes away from having my call answered.

This proves misleading. When my call is answered at an undisclosed location on the Sub-continent, it’s clear that they’re expecting an idiot.

“Sir, have you entered the right password?” Frankly, the “sir” is superfluous. He then asks whether

tion than you do fixing your computer. Still, much like Delta Goodrem, I too was born to try and duly clicked the button marked “Network diagnostics”.

Computers are a funny business.

Although much of the material is ostensibly in English, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it was in another language altogether. This, naturally

Getting kids back to nature A FESTIVAL for children aims to tackle “nature deficit disorder”, which some experts argue links children’s declining engagement with the outdoors to myriad issues from depression to obesity.

The inaugural Kids’ Adventure Festival will provide children and parents with the opportunity to experience adventure activities specifically designed for the younger generation, with walks, runs, climbs, rides and plenty more “wild” play planned for the weekend event.

Taking place at Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort on 5-6 April, the festival will feature all manner of activities aimed at re-engaging children with nature while introducing them to the huge variety of adventure pursuits that make the most of nature’s playground.

Updates and news will be available on www. kidsadventurefest.com.au and on the “Mt Baw Baw Kids Adventure Festival” Facebook page.

my computer is plugged in. Having answered yes to both these questions, the call centre guy is out of ideas and tells me he’ll have to get someone more senior.

I am then placed back on hold where the flamenco guitar from hell is waiting. After a further 18 minutes, I am put through to someone else who asks me whether the modem is plugged in. It’s really another variant of “what kind of idiot are you?” He then tells me he’s looking at my account details and that it’s been some time since my connection has been “refreshed”. All those years of getting myself a drink from the kitchen and I never once got one for the modem.

With great solemnity, he informed me that I should be turning off the modem, if not every night, then at least twice a week. I have never heard anything so stupid in all my life.

I’m not sure what’s worse – that I have waited 30 minutes to be told to turn the modem off and on or that some guy on the other side of the world can monitor my computer use. Best not to think about it. Now our connection is restored but it has left me embittered. That the internet should so freely play with my emotions has left me angry and hostile.

The web is, I have decided, the work of the Devil. I then test this theory by logging on to “www.satan.org” to find that someone has registered the domain name and that it is for sale.

Typical. Even the dark lord of the underworld can’t compete against the turkeys responsible for the internet.

Performance FAT Tony & Co (Uncut) is the story of Tony Mokbel; how he grew entangled with the country’s most notorious underworld figures, how he built his massive fortune, and how he became a fugitive on a yacht bound for Greece, desperate to escape mounting criminal law battles.

Already a key player on the Australian drug scene in his own right, Fat Tony became more deeply embroiled in the underworld as he joined forces with up-and-coming drug dealer Carl Williams.

He struck an uneasy truce with the Carlton Crew, the territorial and dangerous royalty of the Melbourne underworld, even doing business from time to time with the Moran family.

With his three brothers and Carl Williams, Tony expands his drug empire into a multi-million dollar industry.

Featuring over 25 minutes of exclusive bonus content, including deleted scenes and the full unedited episodes which were too hot for television, Fat Tony & Co is available to own on April 16 - uncensored & uncut in Ultraviolet Blue-ray and Ultraviolet DVD. www.roadshow.com.au *** Stronger is Aleyce Simmonds’ brand new radio single, lifted from her Golden Guitar nominated album, Believe!

Upbeat, powerful and lyrically defiant, Stronger has emerged as an audience favourite since the album’s release.

It features a stunning vocal performance as well as Simmonds’ all-star band in full flight, highlighting the singer-songwriter’s unique ability to deliver rock-infused country. www.aleyce.com *** Let’s Get It On opens on 13 May at The Athenaeum Theatre in Melbourne and celebrates the life and music of the multi-talented musician, singer and songwriter Marvin Gaye, whose

records sold in the millions and who continues to influence a legion of artists the world over.

1 April this year marks the 30th anniversary of the tragic death of Marvin Gaye and this two-hour narrative concert explores Marvin’s humble beginnings, his troubled relationship with his father, the women in his life, his search for meaning and the music that defined a generation.

Starring Helpmann Award winning actor and singer Burt LaBonte and introducing singer, songwriter, pianist, Jude Perl, Let’s Get It On will be backed by some of Australia’s finest and funkiest musicians and is presented by The Producers of The Man in Black – The Johnny Cash Story and At Last – The Etta James Story.

Let’s Get It On features some of Marvin’s most beloved songs including I Heard It Through The Grapevine, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, his stunning spiritual masterwork What’s Going On, the Grammy Award winning Sexual Healing and many more

of his classic hits.

Marvin Gaye is acknowledged as ‘The Prince of Motown - The Prince of Soul’ with the magnitude of his influence on R&B and soul music recognised when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

Let’s Get It On showing at The Athenaeum Theatre, May 13-25. Tickets 132 849 or www.tickettek.com.au www.letsgetiton.com.au

Daniel Andrews is a tryer but lacks the ability to inspire whereas Denis Napthine is embarrassing as premier, albeit well intentioned.

Treasurer Michael O’Brien’s push for higher taxes on poker machines giving nonsense reasons (funding schools, hospitals, public transport and roads) is insulting.

Then there’s the OLV (Office of Living Victoria?), the water gold mine, and electricity, producing many crooks; political, union and business. It’s a mystery. We await their false promises. *** I WAS looking at my tummy getting bigger – unstoppable - when I remembered. Eons ago my mates and I went to the St Kilda sea baths, for men only, mostly nude men, all shapes and sizes.

Our particular fascination was with the older men with elephantine tummies. We wondered how long ago they had set eyes on their miniature tiddles, even allowing for mirrors and how they felt about it?

I’m not quite to that stage yet but after all those years the answer has dawned.

Size is unimportant. *** ROSS Gittins, senior columnist for The Age newspaper writes on compulsory superannuation exposing us to the predatory financial services industry and likewise union involvement. About a year too late Ross, but nice to know you read my column… ***

ON the flight home from lovable Sydney recently I had a delightful young lady sitting next to me. Svetlana, a program manager at the Georges River Combined Council Committee.

On such a short flight, tradition has it that you say nothing and assume the attitude of the other passengers: look important, almost disdainful, and certainly never start a conversation with anyone, let alone a charming young female.

Lucky me, for Svetlana spoke first, making the 75-minute journey go in a flash. Unsure as to her passion for the Georges River, but no matter. So rare, so nice. *** TONY has promised to leave penalty rates alone during his first term of government. Remember this before the next federal election.

In the meantime, I suggest he cut out rorts for high income earners, including access to family tax benefits, tax breaks on superannuation, negative gearing and the use of trusts to avoid tax.

Maybe increase the mining tax? I’m dreaming. *** NOTED a US study on the personality (disorders?) of coffee drinkers. Cappuccino drinkers: obsessive and controlling. Latte types: go out of their way to please others, somewhat neurotic.

Instant: too laid back, procrastinators.

Black: no-nonsense, straightforward, intelligent, moody. We never seem to tire of rubbish. I drink black coffee,

RECORD Store Day Australia, celebrating the local music outlet, returns for the sixth year on Saturday 19 April (Easter Saturday) across Australia.

This is an important day for the music industry as it reiterates the importance of the traditional music outlet as one of the major avenues for the public to discover the many genres of music releases each year.

The public still love to browse and buy a physical product as seen by the rise in vinyl purchases over the past 12 months.

Record Store Day last year saw one of the largest national sales figures for the physical product since the special day began in Australia six years ago with store reporting that it was better than Christmas and their biggest Saturday since the store began 25 years before.

In store appearances, signings, special promotions, special releases were overwhelming endorsed by the music loving fans.

Record Store Day Australia is run by The Australian Music Retailers Association (AMRA) and has the unqualified support of record companies and Australian music icons who know the importance of supporting all specialist music stores. www.recordstoreday.com.au

mitments from Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill.

After making the science fiction film THX 1138 in 1971 and the rites of passage movie American Graffiti in 1973, writer/director George Lucas spent four years developing and working on this galactic fantasy inspired by the Flash Gordon cartoon strip. Stars Wars (1977) cost $8 million and was made in the UK with little-known Americans in the leading roles, supported by British actors. Cast included Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Alec Guiness and David Prowse.

Two sequels (The Empire Strikes Back 1980, Return of the Jedi 1983) and three prequels (The Phantom Menace 1999, Attack of the Clones 2002, Revenge of the Sith 2005) have generated billions of dollars’ worth of merchandising sales. ***

*** DISNEY and Lucas Film announced today that principal photography is set to begin Star Wars: Episode VII in May, just in time to get the hugely anticipated next instalment in the storied franchise ready for its 18 December 2015 release date.

The filmmakers also revealed that the new movie, the first of three planned sequels, will pick up 30 years after Return of the Jedi (aka Episode VI) left off.

And now that Episode VII production has a start date all it needs are some stars. So far it has one person in talks, Adam Driver, and reported com-

A Grain of Salt MALCOLM Fraser famously said: “Life wasn’t meant to be easy”. As the results came through on the elections in South Australia and Tasmania on the back of a Collingwood (Nathan) disaster and another cigarette price increase and the water (con) bill, I’m in mourning.

The Herald Sun is a cat with two bowls of cream.

Worse still, I reached the age of 78 last Saturday. Woe is me. *** MATTHEW McConaughey thanked God at the Academy Awards. Ditto others saving whales, gay marriages, mums and dads.

If God motivates Matty so be it, but could not help wondering why God helped someone so obviously not in need, as against millions dying of starvation or stuck in refugee camps overseas.

Did Queen Cate’s speech meet with our approval? No mention of God. In Sin City (Sydney) they call her “Our Cate”?

One also wonders if our chief adviser on matters of living within our means (Gina Rinehart) is also thanking God. No sarcasm intended, merely pondering. *** WITH the current concentration on Tony and Joe, let us not forget Victoria. With an election looming it’s surely time to have a closer look at the phantoms managing our state in our name.

whereas I suspect Andrew Bolt would be a 6-a-day cappuccino man. *** YOU’VE lost your glasses, looked everywhere, cannot find; items so important you have two of them.

Do not waste your time searching, get the second pair. You either find them without thinking or suddenly you will remember where you put them, or they will appear on your bed or your kitchen bench, unobtrusive, hiding.

I lost my favourite cap; checked all my visits; nothing forthcoming. Weeks later I put my second favourite cap on top of the printer; accidentally knocked and it fell down the side. I retrieved it, thought about it, wondered? Bingo!

Save your memory buds and worry for the big things, big visuals, like walking into the kitchen and wondering why; spotting the coffee jar and more. Bingo!

Make your coffee.

Also, have a read of the obituaries in The Age newspaper, particularly those born before 1930. Feel better now? *** THE whole world plays the fool; we have a new theatre, a new scene, a new Comedy of Errors, a new company of actors. We change language, habits, laws, customs, manners, but not vices, not the symptoms of folly and madness, they remain the same and the play never finishes. *** I’M rarely hungry. I occasionally enjoy lunch (when I remember to make

lunch), but this puts the kybosh on tea, sometimes referred to as dinner. I do all the recommended: vegetables, green tea, fruits, meat and fish but I’m warning those “advisers” now, if I find out it was all nonsense when I arrive up there I’m coming back to haunt you.

Why up, rather than down? We’ve all done dreadful things. Put a ban on my type and heaven would be deserted.

Just God, Andrew Bolt, Julie Bishop, Tony and Matthew McConaughey. *** I HEAR it on the wireless: “Riverview - a gated community nestled on the Maribyrnong River”. An exciting prospect. Ratio: females to men?

Can’t wait...If you honestly believe you need a financial adviser then I suggest you don’t need one...Is your child well rounded, resilient and self-aware?

Lucky you, took me till I was 50...The AFL and price ticketing structure “will always put the fans first” translated “the more they get the more they want”...Oh damn, I missed Moomba. Again...hooroo...www.ello8.com cliffie9@bigpond.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Doggies hang on in thriller PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON held on to win a thrilling MPCA Provincial grand final on Saturday against Sorrento.

After an enthralling first two days last weekend, it was only fitting this premiership contest went down to the very last over.

There is always a hero in a premiership win and for Mornington it was opener Anthony Gapes, who faced 133 overs (70 in the first innings and 63 in the second) without giving away his wicket.

The way the match was played, it was never about the runs Gapes made

in the match, it was always about the steely determination and mental toughness he had to display to get his side across the line.

With wickets falling around him in the first innings, all he had to do was stay out there and ensure that his side scored just one more run than the opposition. The Dogs made 133, chasing 131. Luke Harper was also significant in the first innings with 21 runs batting at number 10.

At the end of play last Sunday, Doggies opening quick Michael Heib had snared seven wickets and the Sharks were in massive trouble at stumps at 9/100-odd.

However, Ryan O’Connor and A J

King put on more than 50 for the last wicket on Saturday, giving Sorrento a chance to win the match.

Mornington was set 158 runs to win or needed to survive the last 63 overs of the match.

The game was always going down to the wire.

Mornington looked gone early as the Sorrento opening bowlers got their side away to a flyer.

The Dogs lost Rob Hearn, Ben Clements and Matt Foon early and were 3/30 at one stage.

The momentum was certainly with the Sharks.

However, Gapes was still at the crease and was solid against every

bowler. He had plenty of handy bats to come in and support him all the way down the order and they all played their roles.

With six overs remaining in the day, Sorrento needed three wickets.

Mornington was too far away from the 156-run total, so it was survival to the end.

They held on, crowned the best team in the MPCA. For Sorrento, it was another grim day ;yet another grand final loss.

It was compounded by the fact that many believe the era at Sorrento has gone.

Ryan and Liam O’Connor are rumoured to be going to Ballam Park

next season, while A J and Chris King are linked to another Provincial Division club used to winning flags.

Anthony Blackwell, many believe, has played his last game of top level cricket and they say there’s no certainty surrounding the future of Leigh Poholke or Nick Jewell at Sorrento.

For Mornington, things look bright.

Despite Clements’ unbelievable season, there doesn’t seem to be any plans for him to go back to Frankston Peninsula.

The Dogs have a wonderful blend of youth and experience and one senses they will enjoy a little dynasty if they stick together.

Prosser guides Pines to premiership DISTRICT

By IT Gully PINES assistant coach Jake Prosser guided his side to victory against Delacombe Park in the District grand final on Saturday at Alexandra Park.

Prosser’s match-winning 71 runs was made with grit, maturity, determination, patience and class, and rightfully he was the player who hit the winning runs.

His efforts didn’t go unnoticed by his coach Ricky Ramsdale, who paid tribute to his right-hand man.

“He had some demons about Delacombe [two ducks] coming into bat today but he was sensational and showed great maturity,” Ramsdale said.

Ramsdale was also pleased his strike bowler Brett Remy will play on next season.

“Hopefully ‘Rem’ you will give us one more year.”

Remy is a competitive beast and is sure to help his side in the top grade, albeit for one season perhaps.

Pines won the premiership two seasons ago in Sub-district and now will play in Provincial next season after Saturday’s feat.

It was a superb effort by the Piners, who had seven players under the age of 22 in their line-up.

Set 156 for victory off the final 63 overs of the match, Prosser strode to the crease with his side in big trouble, two wickets down.

Delacombe Park was on top early with Brett Chard removing both openers before Prosser and Jeremy Weare came together at the crease.

The two steadied the ship before Weare was given out caught behind in the last over before tea.

The momentum of the match shifted often throughout Pines’ innings, however, one sensed that they had the depth of batting to be

able to see out the 63 overs.

While players fell around him, Prosser continued to look as solid as a rock, dead-batting the good balls and looking to score off anything loose down leg side or short.

Prosser’s innings was chanceless until the end, when he hooked a bouncer to a fielder on the fence, only to have it sail over his head for four.

At the 25 to 40 over mark, it appeared Pines was just going to bat out the overs.

However, when Parkers’ spinners Varun Singh and Nick Christides came on, they went for 23 runs in three overs and the 156-run target looked achievable.

Prosser could see the finish line and with the more than handy Nick Wilcox and Pat Jackson batting with him, decided to go for the outright win.

Delacombe seemed to lack any spark in the field other than Chard (4/17) playing up to the crowd and

getting under the skin of the batsmen.

Simon Dignan bowled well and was rewarded with a couple of wickets.

The lack of use of Shane Deal, who bowled Prosser out three times in previous meetings this year, was odd and he was only used for six overs.

He finished with 0/8.

His underuse was mind-blowing.

Earlier in the match, Pines opening bowler Brett Remy finished with eight wickets for the match, snaring five in the first innings to really set up

the win. He took three in the second innings.

Coach Ricky Ramsdale also picked up eight wickets in the match, three in the first innings and five in the second.

With an ageing list, the Parkers may not get another opportunity as good as this one to grab a premiership.

Pines, however, has plenty to look forward to in the top grade next season.

Hillmen finally Jewell heads to Rosebud? snag a flag SPORTS TALK

SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully YEARS of heartache were all forgotten for Red Hill on Saturday when they were presented with the MPCA Sub-district premiership.

After losing the past two grand finals, Red Hill appeared to be in its best-ever position to win the premiership, heading into day three.

Rheede Hopgood had made 64, Ken Sullivan 51 and Simon Dart had hit his third century in as many matches to help Red Hill to a total of 277 last weekend.

More importantly, the Hillmen batted their entire 110 overs.

Having to face the last 41 overs on the second day, the Buds looked gone at stumps.

Greg McCann (15), Mathew Maher (7), Danny Heylbut (0) and Darren Kerr (0) were all back in the sheds. The

only light at the end of the tunnel was the fact there was some experience to come and Brad Glenn (32) was unbeaten overnight.

The Hillmen were obviously a bowler down with Glenn Collett not playing, although Lincoln Toy, Ross Corfield and Jamie McCall headlined a more than reasonable attack.

At the end of the first weekend, Toy and Corfield had a couple of wickets each and the Buds were reeling at 5/101.

However, rather than roll over and go down without a whimper, Rosebud had a crack on the third day.

Although the Buds never looked like tracking down the 278 for victory, they were able to bat for 100 overs and make the Hillmen earn their victory.

The Buds were eventually bowled out for 221, a sensational performance given their poor start.

THERE were plenty of rumours doing the rounds across the three MPCA grand finals on Saturday.

Sorrento was the club that appeared to be the biggest talking point.

The rumours went like this.

Ryan and Liam O’Connor to join Ballam Park in Sub-district ranks next season.

Anthony Blackwell retired. Leigh Poholke weighing up his options and unlikely to stay.

A J King and brother Chris King considering a deal with another Provincial club that is no stranger to success.

The big talk, though, surrounded Nick Jewell, who was said to be considering a deal with Rosebud.

Hard to see the former star Victorian playing Sub-district cricket.

There is a nice fairytale of him playing cricket and coaching football at the same club.

There is also talk that Long

Island’s Andrew Tweddle and Justin Brideman are heading back to Ballam Park also. As former juniors with Karingal, they would net zero points.

There was another one that had Red Hill opening bowler Lincoln Toy heading to Tootgarook next season. Apparently he told the club immediately after the premiership win.

Boneo’s Leigh Lowry has apparently accepted a role at Somerville.

Langwarrin is close to snaring a left-arm quick from the Cardinia competition while Dwayne Doig knocked back big offers to stay a Kanga for the next two seasons. *** IN footy news, we’re just two weeks away from round one and practice matches are in full swing.

With cricket season now officially finished, sides will be just about loading up their lists in the final practice matches this weekend.

Pines’ Brendan Neville, who has

been a significant player for the red and green, has applied to play in the Ellinbank league.

Karingal has lost another couple in Jim Martinson to the Southern Football League and Rhys BartlettQuinn to Somerville while Dylan Emmons has left Mt Eliza to play in the VAFA. In good news for Tyabb, there has been a number of clearances come in for the Yabbies. No notable names but good players all the same.

Red Hill has lost Joe Krieger to the Southern Football League, a big blow for the Hillmen, who lack height this season.

Rosebud has finally put a clearance in for Sorrento’s Daniel Hickey.

Hickey crossed to the Buds prior to Christmas.

The other interesting one is Jae Williams returning to Dromana from Rosebud. Williams caused some issues when he left Dromana last season. However, he has decided to head back to his family’s club.

DOZENS of sports stars and celebrities are set to decend on the peninsula this Sunday at 1pm for a Twenty20 match in honour of murdered schoolboy Luke Batty.

International cricketers including Bryce McGain and Matthew Wade will be among elite players heading for Tyabb Reserve for the match, which has been organised by Tyabb Cricket Club, where sports-mad Luke played his cricket.

More than 2000 visitors are expected to attend and funds raised will go toward building new practice nets.

Also set to play is Hastings police officer Senior Sergeant Alan Courtney, who has already visited the club to practice with Yabbies juniors

in the wake of last month’s tragic events.

Senior Sergeant Courtney said it was important Luke’s teammates felt comfortable and secure while continuing to enjoy playing cricket.

“Luke loved cricket and we want to make sure that his teammates understand it’s OK for them to keep playing, and to make sure they feel safe while doing so,” he said.

Cricket club president Sam Taranto said the event was supported by Luke’s mother Rosie Batty and was organised as a celebration of Luke’s love for cricket and “to put some smiles back on faces”.
