Your guide to what’s on this weekend

for peninsula families

POLICE have asked parents to be responsible for their children in a bid to stop violence on the streets of Frankston.

Frankston Senior Sergeant Steve Burt addressed an anti-violence rally

in Wells St last Thursday (7 January) and urged parents to be proactive in ensuring their kids do not cause trou-ble in the city centre.

“Victoria Police doesn’t spelling ‘parenting’. Victoria Police will hold people accountable for their actions,” he said.

“It’s not up to us to bring your chil-

dren up. It’s up to you to do the right thing and expose them to … an ap-propriate environment.”

The anti-violence rally was organ-ised by community group Victors Over Violence, a new community group aiming to help victims of vio-lence, and ambassador Lee Will said the fl edgling organisation wants to

take as positive an approach as possi-ble to win the fi ght against violence.

“Using the term ‘victim’ wasn’t something I wanted to do because I feel that’s quite a negative way of ap-proaching it,” she said.

“It’s about tackling the lifestyle that is conducive to violence … and talking to people who are going

through it.”Victors Over Violence is working

towards offering legal help, counsel-ling and a safe house for people deal-ing with the aftermath of violence.

“I know all too well what’s happen-ing out there on the streets,” Ms Will, a Frankston resident, said.

BUDDING and accomplished pia-nists are welcome to tinkle the ivo-ries at The People’s Piano, a piano located on the forecourt of Frankston Library.

The People’s Piano is the latest addition to the library forecourt featuring a huge Alice in Wonderland themed mural and a coffee shop with outdoor seating.

“This all contributes to creating a welcoming and safe space in one of our city’s most important community hubs,” Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley said.

The piano was bought for less than $100 by council and has been painted by Melbourne Murals duo Brigitte Dawson and Melissa Turner to match the Alice in Wonderland mural at the Frankston Library they designed and painted in late 2014.

Frankston Library is at 60 Playne St, Frankston. Call 9784 1020 or see library.frankston.vic.gov.au for open-ing times and activities.

A FRANKSTON couple allegedly went on a senseless crime spree over the Christmas period – with little to show for it except extensive damage to shops and service stations and their upcoming day in court.

Police say the 20-year-old man and 21-year-old woman used a Holden Commodore sedan with stolen num-ber plates to: Smash through front windows of service stations at Frankston South, Frankston and Carrum Downs while attempting to steal cash from ATMs; Crash through the front windows of auto after-market retail outlets at Narre Warren, Dandenong South and

Cranbourne, and,Break into seven veterinary surger-ies at Frankston, Frankston South, Cranbourne and Langwarrin.

The raids took place between 11 December and 4 January.

Detective Sergeant Paul Mealia, of Frankston CIU, said the pair caused “massive damage” to the raided shops and businesses – ranging from $5000 to $30,000 each.

In the fi rst raid, offenders wearing balaclavas are captured on CCTV attempting to force entry to an after-market retail outlet at Dandenong South, then another in Cranbourne and then another at Narre Warren, where they made off with 35 audio head units value at $16,000.

They are then alleged to have raided

the veterinary surgeries, but manag-ing to steal only charity tins and loose change, before turning their attention to service stations.

The pair is alleged to have reversed their car through the front glass doors of the Coles Express on Frankston-Flinders Rd, around 3am, Sunday 3 January, and used a tow strap to rip out the ATM. Accelerating quickly, the force tore the ATM in half, with the top landing 15 metres in front of the store.

Finding no money in this part, the pair attempted to rip out the bottom section without success before driv-ing off.

At the same time next day, police say the offenders twice reversed their car into the front glass doors of the BP

service station, Frankston-Dandenong Rd, Frankston, but could not get in-side. They drove off leaving the car’s driver side taillight at the scene – amid extensive damage.

Ten minutes later, police say the same offenders again failed to rip out an ATM, this time at the Caltex service station, Frankston-Flinders Rd, Carrum Downs, after reversing through the front glass doors and ty-ing a chain around the ATM.

They accelerated quickly but the chain snapped and the offenders again fl ed the scene empty handed.

An off-duty offi cer saw the alleged getaway car at Baxter and alerted mobile units. Later, a patrol car came upon the car in Cambridge St, Frankston, and, in a coordinated op-

eration, the occupants were arrested, 9am, Monday 4 January.

Detective Mealia said most of the audio headsets were recovered in the car after the arrests.

A Frankston man has been charged with seven counts of burglary, fi ve of attempted burglary, six of theft, three of criminal damage and two of going equipped to steal.

He has been remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, Thurs-day.

A Frankston woman has been charged with three counts of burglary, four of attempted burglary, two of theft, three of criminal damage and two of going equipped to steal.

She has been bailed to appear at the same court in April.

Frankston residents are being warned to look out for snakes and to take care if they cross paths with the potentially dangerous reptiles.

Mayor Cr James Dooley says it is not unu-sual to see snakes in the Frankston region but he reminds people they are a protected species and are not to be harmed.

“The Wildlife Act 1975 states that all native animals are protected, so harming a snake is not only devastating to local ecosystems, but it’s also highly illegal,” Cr Dooley said.

Many of Frankston’s natural reserves help protect native wildlife, including snakes, which are more often seen in summer after coming out of hibernation.

Council does not have the authority to deal with a snake found on private land or property.

If a snake is seen near a home it is best to watch from a safe distance until it moves on or contact a licenced snake catcher who will charge a fee for the animal’s removal.

Gardens kept free of rubble, tiles and debris are less likely to attract snakes.

THE festive season is over. The Christmas wrapping and New Year bottles are dropped into rubbish bins for recycling but the largest symbol of yuletide joy can become a burden in many households in January.

The Christmas tree can be more than a binful but this year Frankston residents can easily get rid of their trees.

The Frankston Regional Recycling and Re-covery Centre, opened in October last year, will accept old trees for just $5 each.

Hard waste and green waste can also be dropped off at the recycling centre in Skye.

“Except for general household waste, the Recycling and Recovery Centre accepts almost everything, from hard waste, to concrete, bricks, green waste, mattresses, motor oil, paint, mat-

tresses and more,” Mayor Cr James Dooley said.“And all your boxes, wrapping and bottles left

over from the festive season will be accepted for free.”

“The best thing about dropping off items at the Recycling and Recovery Centre is knowing that you are doing a bit to help the environment, as your waste will be sorted to recover recyclables or repurposed to give it a new lease on life.”The Frankston Regional Recycling and Re-covery Centre is located at 20 Harold Rd, Skye (off Ballarto Rd, opposite the Skye Recreation Reserve). Call Frankston Council on 1300 322 322 or see frankston.vic.gov.au for a list of ac-ceptable items to drop off and applicable fees. The centre is open from 8am-4pm every day except Christmas Day and Good Friday.

Attempted car jackingAttempted car jackingA SEAFORD tow truck driver got a shock when three men in a Holden Commodore attempted to steal his black Mazda cargo, 1.50am, Wednesday 23 December. He said the men drove beside him along Wells Rd when one produced a knife and demanded he pull over so they could take the car, which had allegedly been stolen.

The driver refused to stop and headed towards Frankston police station. The men followed for a short distance but then drove away. The blue Commodore had Berlina alloy wheels.

Anyone with information is urged to call Detective Senior Constable Kerryn Merrett, of Frankston CIU, 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Handsets go in raidsHandsets go in raidsTHIEVES stole 82 mobile phone handsets valued at $85,000 from the Telstra outlet at Karingal Hub, 4.30am, Sunday 3 January.

Detective Senior Constable Craig Ferris said four offenders are seen on CCTV reversing a silver Ford sedan with body kit up to the shop. With hoodies covering their faces they use a sledgehammer to smash their way in to steal the handsets, which represented almost all the shop’s stock.

Earlier, the same offenders had used the same technique to enter the Telstra outlet, Ty-abb Rd, Mornington. Police said the business had been closed over the Christmas holidays and stock moved to another store. Nothing was stolen.

Other Telstra outlets at Berwick, Narre War-ren, Pakenham and Glen Waverley were also raided over the holidays, possibly by the same offenders.

Anyone with information is urged to call Frankston CIU on 9784 5555 or Crime Stop-pers 1800 333 000.

Off yer bike!Off yer bike!POLICE pounced on a Frankston North man when he arrived at court on his motorcycle, Tuesday last week. They were aware the 55-year-old’s licence had been suspended due to lost demerit points and apprehended him in the car park.

The man later returned a positive oral fl uid test, indicating the presence of illicit drugs. The motorcycle was impounded for 30 days. The man will have to pay $1032 towing and storage costs to get it back. He is expected to be charged on summons with driving while suspended and drug driving. Police are awaiting forensic testing of the oral fl uid test.

Rosebud Highway Patrol police nabbed the Holden Commodore allegedly being driven at 98kph along Marshall Av, Rye, 3.05pm, Monday last week.

Leading Senior Constable Paul Turner, of police media, said the 17-year-old driver attempted to fl ee the scene, but was blocked by heavy traffi c. They said an oral fl uid test detected the presence of cannabis.

The car – bought the day before – was im-pounded for 30 days and the teen will have to pay $1010 in towing and storage costs to get it back. It was also issued with a defect notice.

He is expected to be charged on summons with driving while disqualifi ed, at a danger-ous speed, evading police, using false plates and using an unsafe vehicle.

Police are also waiting on forensic testing of the oral fl uid test.

PENINSULA Community Legal Centre is celebrating the contribu-tions of its volunteers who enable it to offer free legal advice four nights a week.

The not-for-profi t organisation has been providing ongoing assistance to clients on low incomes since 1977.

Its volunteers were celebrated around the world on 5 December: International Volunteer Day, by the United Nations General Assembly in 1985.

“Last year our volunteer lawyers provided more than 2000 free legal advices,” Volunteers and Education general manager Andrea Staunton said.

“Seventy-six per cent of clients assisted by volunteers had no or low incomes (less than $500 gross per week).”

Lawyer volunteers run evening

advice clinics at the head offi ce in Frankston and branches at Rosebud, Bentleigh and Cranbourne, with support from a team of paralegal volunteers.

The centre also benefi ts from the governance of a volunteer-based management committee, and from the contributions of trainee lawyers and special project volunteers.

Lawyer volunteer, Amanda Gra-ham, from White Cleland Lawyers and Consultants, which has a branch at Frankston, has received the cen-tre’s highest honour, the 2015 Kath Neilson Memorial Award. It created in 2002 in honour of the late Kath Neilsen, a founder and strong sup-porter of the centre.

Ms Graham began as a lawyer-vol-unteer in 2005, providing free legal advice to clients on a variety of is-sues. She has since used her expertise

as an accredited family law specialist to present family law professional development sessions to volunteers and staff.

“Peninsula Community Legal Cen-tre has been a hub of legal support in the community for many years,” Ms Graham said.

“It provides a means for volunteers to get involved in the community. Opportunities for volunteers are var-ied and volunteer contributions are appreciated and recognised.

“I would like to thank the centre for the opportunities it provides for all members of the community.”

Ms Staunton says: “Our volunteers have great impact on the centre’s ability to respond to local legal needs and advance justice for our commu-nity.”

Call 9783 3600 or visit pclc.org.au for details.

POLICE are appealing for public help to fi nd missing Chelsea Heights teenager Cayleb Hough.

He was last seen on 18 December at a house in Puffi n Close, Chelsea Heights.

Cayleb is known to frequent the Bonbeach, Cheltenham and Heather-ton areas.

Police hold serious concerns for his safety as it is unusual for him to go missing for this length of time. They are unsure what the 17-year-old was wearing when he disappeared.

Caleb is described as about 180cm tall with a medium build, dark brown hair and fair skin.

ONE of the youngest participants at this year’s Greek Orthodox Blessing of the Waters came up with the wooden cross tossed into the sea by Bishop Jacob Iakovos to mark Epiphany Day.

Nick Georgiou, 16, from Mentone was fi rst to grab the wooden cross after diving off Frankston pier last Wednesday morning (6 January). The throwing of the cross blesses the waters.

Epiphany Day celebrates the baby Jesus being visited by three kings in Bethlehem and later being baptised in the River Jordan by John the Baptist.

A crowd gathered to watch a group of young men dive in and compete to be fi rst to snatch the wooden cross.

Nick, a Year 11 student at Haileybury College, will benefi t from 12 months of good luck and prosperity according to Greek Orthodox beliefs.

He said he did not realise how “big and spe-cial” the Blessing of the Waters ceremony is until he turned up last Wednesday morning and saw the large crowd gathered to watch proceedings.

“My friend invited me to come with him be-cause we’re both Greek,” Nick said.

“I was really nervous before I jumped in.”Nick reckoned his good luck for the year has

already begun after “being in the right place on the pier” to dive in and snatch the cross the fi rst time he took part in the event.

The 16-year-old aims to become a sports physi-otherapist after he fi nishes his schooling.

The tradition of the Blessing of the Waters ceremony started in Frankston and Epiphany Day rituals are now also carried out at Rye and South Melbourne piers.

Nick was blessed by Bishop Iakovos after retrieving the wooden cross and was given a wooden cross pedant to wear as a memento.

BEACHES and foreshores along Port Phillip Bay will be monitored for signs of erosion and renour-ished as part of a $4.8 million state government project.

The Protection of Port Phillip Beaches and Foreshore Program will include works at bay beaches at Frankston, Carrum, Sorrento West, Hampton, Sandringham, Geelong’s Eastern Beach, St Helens and Moorpanyl.

Environment, Climate Change and Water Min-ister Lisa Neville announced the project late last month.

“Whether it’s renourishments that widen and lengthen beaches or the work we do with local communities to ensure erosion is properly moni-tored over the long term, this funding is important for the health of the bay’s coastline,” Ms Neville said in a statement.

“These renourishment projects have been prior-

itised and we will work with local land managers to deliver the projects over the next two years.”

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) consulted with land man-agers including councils to fi nalise the program with further consultations due to take place over the next two years.

Millions of dollars have been spent trying to re-pair erosion at Portsea beach without success in the past few years.

The state government denies any link between the widespread erosion at Portsea beach and the controversial channel deepening project to allow larger ships in to the Port of Melbourne.

Independent studies by the CSIRO and con-sultancy fi rm Water Technologies found channel deepening had contributed towards seabed chang-es and larger waves at many peninsula beaches.

Continued from Page 1Councillors Sandra Mayer and

Glenn Aitken and mayor Cr James Dooley attended last week’s V.O.V. event.

Cr Mayer and Cr Aitken spoke publicly at the event.

Cr Mayer said Frankston Council has “zero tolerance” for violence on the streets of the city.

“Being at the end of a train line this is what happens but we don’t accept it,” she said.

“The sheer statistics surrounding violence are astounding. It affects way too many people simply going about their own business under at-

tack in their own safe space or what should be the safety of their own homes.”

Senior Sergeant Steve Burt said police are working in partnership with Frankston Council to tackle street violence and CCTV cameras help identify offenders.

“If you come in to Frankston and do the right thing we embrace you and want you here,” he said.

“Don’t come here unless you are wanting to be part of this community which is a great, evolving commu-nity with a great reputation that can continue to grow if we stand up and be counted.”

Gliders moved out as broadband rolls inHAVING fast internet speeds at home is not good news for everyone, espe-cially if you are a sugar glider in Mt Eliza.

Inspections made before the rollout of NBN cabling at Mt Eliza have re-vealed families of sugar gliders living in Telstra’s underground pits.

Wildlife experts believe the small nocturnal marsupials have been forced to seek emergency accommodation because of a lack of suitable hollows in trees.

The sociable sugar gliders generally sleep in family groups and have found direct access into the plastic-lined pits through white conduit running down power poles.

The problem facing the sugar glid-ers is that their adopted underground homes are being extensively modifi ed to accommodate NBN cabling, which could also be sensitive to being chewed by half-slumbering marsupials.

Wildlife carers are already looking after some of the soon-to-be relocated sugar glider families and are urging property owners to install nesting box-es in trees as a more natural alternative to the pits needed for cabling.

“We were told about some sugar gliders using a Telstra pit in Two Bays Rd about two years ago, but always thought it was a one-off, a freak,” Edwina Muir of AWARE (Australian Wildlife Assistance Rescue and Edu-cation) said.

But that notion quickly changed in December when an employee of NBN

subcontractor Cogar called to report fi nding more “underground” sugar glider families in Fulton Rd, Allambi Court and Sunset Crescent.

Mt Eliza’s sugar glider population is more numerous and widespread than previously thought.

A check by members of AWARE found one of the pits was empty, but the discovery of underground glider families has sparked a concerted effort to fi nd alternative homes for the oppor-tunistic animals.

Peninsula wildlife expert Malcolm Legg told The News he had “never come across anything like this before”.

“These guys need nesting boxes and urgent relocation as the broadband ca-bles are being rolled out and taking up the sugar glider homes,” Mr Legg said.

Ms Muir said two sugar gliders had been rescued after being trapped in conduit that ran down a power pole to the ground but did not connect to a Telstra pit.

“A passing dog walker spotted a sugar glider’s head poking out from the one-inch [2.5cm] gap between the conduit and the ground. He scraped away the earth to get it out and found another one behind it,” Ms Muir said. “Unfortunately, one died but the other is still in our care.”

She said the underground gliders presented “an interesting situation of adaptation and I feel this is just the start [of what will be found]”.

“Our initial investigation leads us to believe a multitude of other such fam-ily units exist underground throughout Mt Eliza and that as the NBN is rolled out, they will also require re-homing.”

Ms Muir said Mornington Peninsula

Shire and the NBN Co would be asked to help provide property owners with nesting boxes.

Meanwhile, a seven-member sugar glider family is being cared for at an AWARE shelter near Balnarring be-fore being released back into the rela-tive wilds of suburban Mt Eliza.

“The old growth tree hollows they re-quire for nesting sites are in very short supply and competition for them by various bird, bat and possum species is fi erce,” Ms Muir said. “Simply placing nesting boxes in trees will not work as the sugar gliders take a week or so to fi nd and move into a new home.

“Also, glider young spend about 70 days in the pouch before being left in the nest, so these creched young would not be transported by the adult glider to the new tree nesting box.”

She said sugar glider families could die “without a carefully considered and timely re-homing plan”.

The urgency to fi nd and then re-house sugar glider families in Mt Eliza is underlined by NBN wanting to roll out its cables to 80 per cent of the sub-urb in the next three months.

“Just driving around Mt Eliza I have seen that many telegraph poles in each street have white conduit leading into

a Telstra pit, so potentially there could be very large numbers of affected glid-er families,” Ms Muir said.

“The gliders need to be caught, brought into care for up to a week, then re-homed back in [the same] loca-tion.” Ms Muir said permission would be sought from property owners near Telstra pits housing sugar glider fami-lies for nesting boxes to be placed in their trees.

“We have proved we can catch the sugar gliders at one pit and we will commence catching gliders at the other identifi ed pits.”

AT an early age Melissa Jane found solace in poetry. In more recent years she found herself penning songs.

But it was not until she experienced a personal tragedy that the words and music fused into a completed, record-ed song.

Jane’s Happy Birthday in Heaven was written to help people deal with grief after the death of a loved one.

Specifi cally, it is designed to bring solace and comfort on the birth date of that loved one, although Jane’s friends have suggested it could also be played and sung at funerals.

Sadly, the words and music came to the Frankston South mother of two after she and her husband Peter King lost a much-wanted baby due to mis-carriage.

That loss fi ve years ago saw her start to write Happy Birthday in Heaven to ease her own heartache and “to help people deal with their grief”.

“I hope this song will help people get through the day, when they are remembering their loved one,” she says. “I’ve written a lot of songs but this is the fi rst one I’ve recorded.”

The fi nished version of Happy Birthday in Heaven was put down in one take, with Jane on piano and Rob Amato playing keyboards at Dream-scape Recording studios, Frankston.

“It’s an emotional song of hope and refl ection,” Jane says, adding that “it’s in the style of Adele, although I’d never compare myself to her”.

She lists her musical infl uences as being Tori Amos, Alicia Keys and Missy Higgins.

“Happy Birthday in Heaven is a song of healing – I feel comfort in hearing it. It brings back memories.

Song of hope born from grief

Sometimes it’s hard to talk on an anniversary and this provides an outlet to think about that person.”

Jane, who has trained in psychology and counsel-ling, has two diverse part time jobs: “cooking healthy food for cafes” and devising ways to lessen crime and increase community safety for a municipality.

She says a percentage of all profi ts from the sale of Happy Birthday in Heaven will be donated to Too

Beautiful For Earth, a Victorian not for profi t organi-sation that helps those who have lost a baby through miscarriage.

Happy Birthday in Heaven will be available through online stores on Thursday (14 January), see melissajane.com.au

suffering with nagging pain, then Prolotherapy may be the alternative that you are looking for. Much has been in the news lately about Prolotherapy known as a non-surgical repair of Tendons and Ligaments.

Dr. Carol A.

OUR feet and legs are two of our bodies most complex and relied upon structures, yet they’re often the most neglect-ed. So we asked the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics for some tips to help keep you on your feet throughout 2016!

1. Always get foot and leg pain or soreness checked by an experienced Sports or Mus-culoskeletal Podiatrist. Simple soreness can be a symptom of more serious underlying issues and a podiatrist with expertise in Musculoskeletal issues has the most appropriate and specifi c skills to deal with such issues.

2. Evaluate your footwear. Summer footwear such as thongs and slips-ons can be stressful to the feet. Choose shoes with straps or laces that hold to the feet, and have decent cushioning and support, especially for prolonged activity.

3. Choose activity/sport appropriate shoes for sport & recreational activities.

4. Don’t rely on technological advances in footwear to treat pain & discomfort or decrease risk of injury. Proper advice and treatment from an appropriate podiatrist is the best way to pre-vent and treat problems.

5. Women can choose better high heel options. If you have to wear high heels try a wedge heel for more support/stability, also look for shoe straps with a bit of substance for extra support.

6. Don’t buy shoes that require a “break-in period”. Shoes should be comfortable immedi-ately.

7. Shop for footwear at the end of the day to accommo-date for normal swelling. Feet can swell by up to 10% during the course of a day.

8. Be careful of off-the-shelf foot products including mass produced orthotics, innersoles and arch supports. Only devices prescribed by an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist should be used to ensure they are correct, effective and safe.

9. If you’ve been advised you require surgery or medica-tions for any foot, knee or

leg concerns, get a second opinion. Thanks to the latest medical research and treatments most surgery can be avoided. Regenerative therapies such as Prolotherapy and PRP, as well as a prov-en holistic approach can assist most foot & leg pain and injuries without the need for surgery, anti-infl ammatory medications and cortisone injections, which have recently been proven to delay healing and/or cause further tissue damage in many cases. Better, safer alternatives are now available to assist pain, injury and degenerative concerns.

Following these handy hints should help you to stay pain free and active throughout 2016! If you do suffer any foot and leg pain or injuries throughout the year, Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza, Rosebud and Moorabbin can help. Call 1300 328 300.

Heart disease & hearingHeart disease & hearingI HOPE everyone has thorough-ly enjoyed the festive season with their family and friends, and are now ready to embrace a fresh year with new goals and challenges in 2016.

Unfortunately, weight gain over the Christmas period is very common, with the average Australian expected to gain between 0.8 – 1.5kg during this time, according to Nutrition Australia. Although this may not sound like much weight, researchers have shown that this weight gain over Christmas is often not lost. Nearly two-thirds of Australians are currently clas-sifi ed as overweight or obese. Along with unintentional weight gain, this can further increase an individual’s risk of heart dis-ease, which is the single biggest killer of Australians.

Luckily, we have a heart disease detection device in our body – the cochlear (the organ for hearing).

Recent research indicates that hearing loss at the lower pitches of sound can be used as an ‘early marker’ for heart diseases because it is thought that our hearing is highly sensitive, and any abnormalities to the blood fl ow can affect its function. Therefore, it is important to take advantage of the body’s early indicators of hear-ing loss to assist with early detection, treatment and rehabilitation.

This highlights the importance of regular hearing checks, especially if you are already at risk of heart disease due to other risk factors such as: smoking, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, diabetes, being inactive, being overweight, and having an unhealthy diet. Fur-thermore, the Australian Heart Foundation have

highlighted that depression, social isolation and a lack of good quality support can also increase your risk of heart disease.

So, if you feel that this may apply to you, please contact our offi ce for a comprehensive hearing assessment and discuss on how we can help you improve your hearing and overall qual-ity of life.

If you are going to make a change this year, make it hearing. Stay Tuned Hearing – Mt Eliza.

THERE is a 98 per cent chance that at least one person will drown this year while swimming at Mornington Peninsula beaches.

Life Saving Victoria’s latest drowning report shows fi ve people lost their lives to drowning here in the 2014/2015 fi nancial year.

This represents 13 per cent of the 39 drownings across Victoria.

The report found males were seven times more likely to drown than females, while almost 40 per cent of those who died 2004-14 were aged 25-44.

During that time, 41 people drowned on the peninsula and 115 were taken to hospital after almost drowning.

Bayside beaches, the ocean, home swimming pools and bathtubs are the main drowning loca-tions.

Life Saving Victoria principal research asso-ciate Dr Bernadette Matthews said swimming, boating and diving were common activities being undertaken by drowning victims.

“It is important to understand the conditions you will be swimming in, or enjoying during rec-reation activities,” she said.

Swimmers should stay between the red and yel-low fl ags at patrolled beaches and make weather checks.

Drowning almost a certainty on peninsula

Danger area: The fate of a clutch of hooded plover eggs at Blairgowrie’s Koonya beach was set aside for a while on 31 December by wildlife photographer Glenn Ehmke when three surfers came to the rescue of a man who had been swept out to sea on 31 December last year.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Sad farewell to Somerville teacherSad farewell to Somerville teacherCompiled by Melissa Walsh

AN extraordinary meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers Horticultur-al and Agricultural Association will be held on Monday next, at 8 p.m, in the Somerville Hall, to consider the advisability of holding the annual show and other business. Ladies are cordially invited to attend.

***MR James St George Sproule, young-est son of Mrs Sproule, Flinders, and the late Mr James Sproule has obtained a commission in the Royal Field artillery. He was wounded four times in Gallipoli and went to Eng-land after diphtheria, where he now is to train.

***ANNIVERSARY services in connec-tion with the Frankston Methodist Church will be held on Tuesday next, when the Rev. R. Bradbury, of Bala-clava, will preach at 11 a.m., 3 and 7 p.m. On Monday evening a public meeting will be held in the church, for which a good programme is being arranged. Collections will be taken up at each service in aid of the Trust Funds.

***OWING to legal technicalities, the proposed poll of ratepayers with re-gard to the granting of powers to the Frankston Gas Company to supply electricity to the Shire of Frankston and Hastings for lighting and power purposes, has been postponed to a date to be fi xed. In a future issue a fresh advertisement will appear and

we reserve further comment upon the subject until its appearance.

***AT the commencement of the year the Presbyterian body determined to inaugurate regular Sunday services at Frankston, and the Rev. Neil Mc-Donald, who has been stationed at Somerville for some time, was de-puted the task. Considerable success has attended the rev. gentleman’s efforts, and for the last two Sundays good congre-gations have assembled in the Me-chanics’ Hall. For the present these services will be held every Sunday morning, commencing at 11 o’clock.

***SINCE the heavy engagements in which the Australians took part in Gallipoli on August 8, Private Noel Edgeworth Somers has been reported missing. He is the eldest son of Dr Edgworth Somers, of Mornington, and was attached to the 14th Battal-ion. He is 22 years of age, and was educated at the Royal Naval College, Osborne, Isle of Wight, and at Stony-hurst, England.

***A good house attended at the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Tues-day evening, when a good Bioscope Show was screened by Rankin’s Pic-ture Co. The pictures were good and very plain and distinct. During the evening several young girls did a profi table trade by selling baskets of home-made lollies. The entertainment was promoted by

the Local Branch of the Red Cross Society, and the funds wll be benefi t-ed to the extent of £10 or over Dr Maxwell spoke on the good work done by the Society, and the neces-sity of not growing cold and lax in continuing the same, as long as the war lasted.

***ON Saturday evening next the mem-bers of the Mornington Amateur Dra-matic Club will give an entertainment in the Somerville Mechanics’ Hall in aid of the Red Cross Society. The programme will consist of 3 one act Comediettas, “ Snowed up with a Duchess,” “The Kleptomaniac,” and “Their New Paying Guest.” The members of the Club playing in this entertainment are all young la-dies of Mornington. The plays are spoken of as being most amusing and apart from the pa-triotic purpose that the funds are to be devoted to, should ensure a full house.

***THE bazaar held during the Xmas holidays in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, in aid of the local Catholic Church was highly successful. The ladies of the congregation had got together a large number of arti-cles, both useful and ornamental, and the stall-holders and their assistants were kept busy disposing of these to their patrons, and by the time of clos-ing on New Year’s night, the stalls were pretty well empty. As secretary, Miss J. Hogan did a large amount of work, and the suc-

cess of the function, in a great mea-sure, was due to this young lady’s efforts. After all expenses are met there will be a considerable balance left to go towards the church funds.

***OLD patrons of the Frankston Sports were pleased to see that Captain Sherlock was so far recovered from his serious accident as to be present at the sports for a while and renew acquaintances. He was the recipient of many hand shakes and congratula-tions. Mr R. T. Pickieg, who has left the district, was also welcomed back and gladly given a place on the commit-tee, where he worked as energetically as ever. Mr W. Pettit, a former sec-retary of the club, again paid the old spot a visit, and was welcomed by many old friends. Mr F. Jolly, though not a competitor this year, travelled from Queensland, and spent the Xmas holiday quietly with his parents in Frankston. He mentioned to us previous to his leav-ing on his return, that he would in all probability be with us again in time for the 1917 sports, and if all went well, would take a part in some of the athletic events, at which he is no mean expert.

***MR G. W. Reed, who has been State School teacher at Somerville for the last 8 or 9 years, has been transferred to a school in the Ballarat district. His going will be very severely felt by the residents, as both Mrs Reed and himself have made themselves very

popular during their stay in the dis-trict. In musical circles Mr Reed took a prominent part, and the concerts of his pupils, organised by himself, will long be remembered as special treats. Mr Reed also took a lively interest in the various organizations of the town, being president of the Fruitgrowers’ Association for the current year and also chairman of the Mechanics’ In-stitute committee, and was very en-ergetic in all movements connected with the recruiting campaign. It is much to he regretted that a few days before leaving he met with the great misfortune of having his house and furniture destroyed by fi re. The family were away from home on the evening of the occurrence and before anything could be done towards ex-tinguishing the fl ames, the fi re had gained such a hold that every thing was destroyed, nothing being saved but what they were then wearing. The cause of the fi re is unknown.

***WE again call attention to an adver-tisement in another column stating that steps are being taken in the Shire in response to the Federal Recruiting Appeal. A local committee has been formed consisting of all the Shire Councillors, with the president, Cr Griffeth, as chairman, and the Shire Secretary, Mr J. E. Jones, as hon. sec. All communications should be ad-dressed to the Shire Recruiting Com-mittee, Somerville.

***From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 15 January, 1916

Frankston Times 11 January 2016 PAGE 23

By Stuart McCulloughIT was inevitable, I suppose. At some point I was always going to raise the white fl ag and succumb. After all, you can only resist for so long. Besides, our fourth anniversary loomed and, according to Wikipedia, such occa-sions are celebrated with gifts of linen, silk or appliances. If you can fi nd an appliance made of linen and silk, I suppose that would be ideal, but they are few and far between. Next year it’s ‘wood’, which doesn’t sound especial-ly promising, but this year is gizmos and gadgets. These were the height-ened circumstances under which I fi nally relented and bought a robot vacuum cleaner.

The thing about robot vacuum cleaners is that, in every way imagi-nable, they suck. Indeed, that’s their job. With our anniversary looming, I dutifully trotted off to the appliance store and waited around in the vain hope of some service. I wasn’t sure of its offi cial title but fi gured it was prob-ably something along the lines of the ‘Sucktastic 2000’, ‘Megatronic Swal-low Machine’ or the ‘Dirtinator’ and explained all this to the shop assistant using fl amboyant hand gestures to get my point across. She seemed to under-stand what I was asking for. Having been freed from its box and unleashed in our home, it now lurks like a digital turtle in one corner of the room, feed-ing on electricity until the moment it decides to spring into action.

The fi rst time it happened, both and I the dog were somewhat startled. It’s often said that animals can sense evil and, in the case of our dog Fozzie,

anything that involves food, but it’s rare that she and I both react to things the same way. For example, the dog often goes completely berserk when a bird lands in the backyard, whereas I have thus far been able to maintain my composure. Similarly, I have been known to abandon my serenity when accidentally coming across ‘The Bolt Report’ when, to her credit, our dog remains relatively un-phased.

There was a gentle hum emanating from the living room. It sounded as though the evaporative cooling system had climbed out of the roof and was going for a walk. I took a peak around a doorframe only to see it buzzing back and forth like nobody’s business, sucking up unsuspecting dust and any-

thing I might have left lying around. I’m not sure why I found the sight of it so unsettling. It’s the fi rst time I’ve owned an appliance that does whatev-er it wants, whenever it likes. I’ve seen 2001: A Space Odyssey and although I can’t pretend that I understood it, I know that computers who think for themselves are nothing but trouble.

If I was suspicious, the dog was even worse; slinking off to the bath-room to lie on the tiles and wait it out. As the mysterious creature rolled around the fl oor, it did so in a pattern detectable only to itself. Then, after a time, it decided it’d had enough and began the journey back to the charging station where it promptly fell asleep. There are two ways you can look at

this. Either it’s a great technological advance that frees us from the tyranny of regular vacuuming or it’s an arte-fact of a dystopian future made real. I strongly suspect the latter may be the case. Truth is, I don’t trust the Suck-tastic 2000. Not one little bit.

It’s an uneasy feeling. I return home from work each day and I wonder what on earth it’s been up to. You can’t tell me that a life form so evolved, so technologically advanced is just lying around on a charger all day. I know it’s up to something. Sometimes I get the sense that things have moved or been re-arranged ever so slightly. Just the other day, I couldn’t fi nd the little iPod I take when I go for a jog and, inevita-bly, my suspicions turned to the robot

vacuum. It is, I feel, beginning to mess with my mind.

I’m overwhelmed by disquiet. As though I am constantly under surveil-lance, being judged by the Sucktastic 2000 who never so much as says a word. Not even ‘hello’. The dog and I are united on this. We must band to-gether to resist the rising despotism of the appliances as they attempt their mechanical insurrection in which they endeavour to crush the human spirit like a pre-loved can of Solo aban-doned on the roadside beneath the giant gumboot of destiny. Secretly, I think I can get the regular vacuum on side who is now at serious risk of be-ing out of a job.

For now, I’m biding my time. In-deed, I will bide my time until it lodges a complaint and I am forced to release back into the wild. I am, of course, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Sadly, it has yet to arise. That’s because robots may power down, but they never really sleep. Meanwhile, the Sucktastic remains mute whilst moving my things whenever I’m not looking. On the one hand, if I take off my shoes I might be able to sneak up behind it and catch it unawares. Then again, maybe it has a fully function-ing weapons system and will blow my sorry self to smithereens if I do. It’s a risk. Perhaps it’s better to do nothing. Even if, like the appliance itself, that truly sucks. Sleep with one eye open, robot vacuum. You’ve made yourself a powerful enemy.

NATUROPATH and herbal medicine prac-titioner Tory Breheny has written a book to bring home the message to the younger gen-eration that gardens can be more than fl owers and trees.

“Gardens are the perfect learning environ-ment for our children,” she says. “They really are nature’s pharmacy. Not only do gardens sustain us with delicious and healthy food, they are a source of tried and tested natural remedies for everyday ailments.

“Our parents, grandparents and elderly neighbours can be a library of practical and traditional knowledge about plants and herbs for a healthy life. Let’s not lose that vital source of information before it’s too late.”

Breheny, of Mt Eliza, describes her book, The Incredible Edible Garden, as a “magical tale” about Annie, a young girl who lives in an inner city apartment surrounded by grey buildings.

“When Annie comes across a walled garden fi lled with lush grass, fruits, vegetables and chickens she meets Rosemary, who teaches her about the healing powers of nature. Soon Annie’s whole family is involved in creating their own rooftop garden – and learning to relax.”

Inspired by her own children and a belief that life should be enjoyed with health, vital-ity, enthusiasm and hope, Breheny says she wants to give young readers a taste of a future “where everyone knows that the natural world around them is where they can fi nd healing and health”.

“Imagine a time when, instead of reaching for the paracetamol for a headache, we grab our scissors and head out to the garden to cre-ate a natural remedy. Mother Nature has just about every recipe for health we need.”

Breheny says she was determined to get the book fi nished despite running her Mt Eliza naturopathy practice.

Taste tempters: Author Victoria Breheny, left, and Illustrator Jemma Phillips have created a book designed to inspire children to get involved in growing their own fresh foods. Picture: Yanni

“I would even be writing while parked in the car during school pick up time,” she says.

The illustrations in her book are by Jemma Phillips, a Somerville-based artist and chil-dren’s nanny. When Breheny came across Jemma’s water colour paintings at Mt Eliza Primary School’s Christmas Fair she knew “instantly” they would bring her story to life.

“I am originally from England so I pictured the garden as a typical cottage garden, colour-ful and overgrown. For the cityscape I wanted to capture just how grey a city can be. Tory loved these ideas as they fi tted her words so well,” Phillips said.

Breheny said several Mornington Peninsula kindergartens were planning “incredible ed-ible garden picnics as a fun learning activity” while she explores other ways of sharing the book’s health and healing messages with schools.

She also urges people to plant their own edible gardens.

“It doesn’t need to be huge or cost lots of money. All you need is sunlight, water and good quality soil. Start with a vegetable plot or just a few herb pots on the windowsill.

“Summer is the ideal time to plan your gar-den so you’re ready to plant in autumn.”

Mornington hosts Silvers Circus in 2016Mornington hosts Silvers Circus in 2016ESTABLISHED in 1976, Silvers Circus provides world class fam-ily entertainment and fun. With extraordinary artists continually arriving from all parts of the world, Silvers are proud of the ever-changing program they are able to present.

After nearly three decades on the road, Silvers is a household name in Australia. They still maintain the sparkle, glamour and death-defying acts expected of Australia’s premier circus.

The 2 hour action-packed show, featuring Ringmaster and Master of Illusions Simon Tait, will also include the Wheel of Steel. A young man with nerves of Steel, Dominik Gasser will run, jump, skip and fl ip through a routine of sheer physical audacity. Its wheels oscillate and revolve from ground level to dizzying heights – such a spectacle is bound to leave you chewing your nails and squirming in your seats.

Also... clowns. Expect the unexpected. They’re guaranteed to tickle the funny bone, as is the circus’ latest addition to their reper-toire of physical and comedic exploits.

It’s called the Bicycle Act. Justin Valise, its demonstrator, is a pro-fessional idiot, specialising in stupidity and acrobatics on a bicycle. Trained at the school of hard knocks and inspired by Murphy’s Law (what can go wrong will go wrong), Justin has created an act that wrestles with the unexpected and really raises the bar.

With hard work and some measure of good fortune, Justin has managed to combine the theatricality of a modern day fool with the physical skills of an acrobat to create distinctive and engaging entertainment.

For tickets to 2016’s Silvers Circus, see Ticketmaster or call the circus direct on 0413 880 044 or 0400 456 157.

MPNG have ten family passes to give away (2 adults & 2 chil-dren) to the 11am performance on Saturday Jan 16. To enter, email:

CHERRY Lane Children’s Centre is a family owned and operated early childhood facility that caters for children from 3 months to 5 years.

When Director, Jamie Bracun opened the child care centre fi ve years ago, she wanted to create a fabulous environment for children to feel at home and learn at the same time.

“We are a family owned and run centre with a sports program, music program and laptop program which is all included in the price. We are taking enrollments and have a kinder program. We are into sustainability, with chickens, veggie patches, do all the recycling and have a compost bin,” says Jamie, who is delighted with the progress of the centre. “At Cherry Lane we provide a kindergarten program, and our teacher is a qualifi ed kindergarten teacher and holds a Bachelor of Early Childhood. The program runs all day every day, with some exceptions, and runs for both 3 and 4 year olds.”

At Cherry Lane Children’s Centre there is no set time that children need to attend or certain days.

“We are very fl exible. You can start at any time of the year as long as there is space available. We are open all year round with the exception of public holidays and weekends, and may choose to limit the hours of care between Christmas and New Year,” says Jamie.

You can guarantee your child is in safe hands with the philosophy of the centre to provide an environment that is engaging and inviting for children, will help them learn and extend themselves whilst at play.

“This is the key for how children learn. Learning about the children’s interests extends their development and scaf-folds their learning in a way that engages each child. A child that is comfortable within their environment is a child that will want to learn. We believe we provide this through the equipment we have available for the children to use and explore with. This equipment comes from conversations with children and families, observing the child individually and in groups,” says Jamie, explaining that communication with children whilst in play enables them to learn about children’s interests, development and needs. “Talking with children and listening to children is how relationships are built. This is also how children build relationships with the educators and other children.”

Cherry Lane Children’s Centre is at 6-8 Andrew Street, Seaford. Phone 9786 2880.

Open Monday to Friday from 6.30am till 6.30pm.

PROVINCIALBy IT Gully

THE fi ght for a place in the 2015/16 MPCA Provincial fi nals is well and truly on following the fi rst game of the New Year on Saturday.

Whilst Peninsula Old Boys locked away top spot and a home fi nal after smashing Rye, there are a further eight teams that have genuine claims of fi nishing in the top four.

Just one match separates second-placed Long Island (56 points) from ninth-placed Langwarrin (44).

The team to beat this season, Sorrento, lost again on Saturday at the hands of the Islanders. The Sorras are just eight points outside of the top four, however.

Langwarrin gave itself every opportunity to come to the party with a late charge after beating Moorooduc.

Batting fi rst, Moorooduc was 3/8 and 7/24 at one stage, before Sam Adams (42) and Adam Bayly (21) gave their bowlers something to defend (96).

Adam Campbell was superb for the home side, snaring 4/14 from 10 overs, whilst brother and coach Trav Campbell picked up 2/17.

Matt Prosser fi nished off the innings with a 2.5 over spell, to fi nish with fi gures of 2/2.

Prosser fi nished unbeaten on 40, while a returning Al Davie hit eight fours in his innings of 36. Langwarrin got the runs (1/99) in 27 overs.

Adrian Mack also returned for the Kangas and fi nished with fi gures of 1/20 from seven overs.

Somerville moved back inside the top four at the expense of opponent Crib Point.

The Magpies lost the toss and were

sent in to bat and were bowled out in the second last over of their innings for 100. Neil Clark hit 41.

Blake Terlaak and Brenton Alp fi nished with 3/11 and 3/27 respectively for the Eagles while Russell Wilkes and Nick Marshall claimed 2/21 and 2/18 respectively.

The Eagles got the runs six wickets down, with Jack Barbour scoring 25.

Luke Herrington and Brad Davidson each picked up a couple of wickets for the Magpies.

Mt Eliza started-off the New Year in fi ne fashion, winning its second game of the season against Pines.

The Mounties batted fi rst and limped to 8/117. Keith Biggs top scored for the home team with 39 while Justin Grant hit 31.

Pat Jackson was the pick of the Piners’ bowlers with 3/14 and Craig Entwhistle picked up 3/21.

In reply, Pines was bowled out for

93 with Rob Maskiell snaring 4/27 and Nick Baron and Grant getting a couple of wickets each.

Entwhisle top scored against his old side with 42 for Pines.

Baxter picked up an important win against Mornington, leaving the Doggies 20 points outside the top four in 10th place on the ladder.

It was a must-win game for the Dogs and it now looks like their season is just about fi nished.

The Dogs batted fi rst on their home deck and set a more than reasonable target of 7/147. Luke Popov top scored with 49 and Brad McDonald hit 28 batting at three.

Dale Irving and Chamika Sattambi claimed 3/38 and 3/29 respectively for Baxter.

Chris Brittain opened the Baxter innings with 90 runs, getting his side over the line with the help of brother Ben, who was unbeaten on 25.

At one stage, Baxter was in real trouble at 6/40 before fi nishing the Dogs off in the 37th over eight wickets down (8/152).

Michael Heib and Glenn Wood took two wickets each for the Dogs.

Wade Pelzer smacked 103 and Dylan O’Malley scored 80 as Peninsula Old Boys set Rye a massive target of 6/243.

In reply, Rye were bowled-out in the 26th over for 78, before losing another four wickets in their second innings.

Adam Jones picked up 4/32 in the fi rst innings and 2/10 in the second. Eivion Bowen took 3/7 from four overs in the fi rst innings.

In the fi nal game, Sorrento was bowled out for 116 in the 37th overs against Long Island.

The visitors then replied with 2/119 in 22.4 overs.

Fight is on in ProvincialFight is on in Provincial

DISTRICTBy IT GullyFLINDERS has joined Pearcedale in the MPCA District top four after serving-up a very solid performance in the one day clash on Saturday.

Playing on their home deck, the Sharks batted fi rst after Dwayne Field won the toss and scored a competitive 8/144 in their 40 overs.

Andrew Power opened the innings with 40 runs while Mitch Stansborough contributed 33 to the total.

Chris Dew was the pick of the Pearcedale bowlers with 3/29 from 10 overs.

In reply, the Panthers lost wickets consistently and were eventually dismissed in the 35th over for 98.

Will Kennedy top scored with 21 before being run-out. Matt Burns made it 14 wickets for the season after picking-up 3/16 from 10 overs.

Baden Powell again fl exed its collective muscle to make light work of Boneo.

The Braves batted fi rst and made a very hard to reach 8/199.

Travis Kellerman, who has played just two First IX games this season, top scored for the home side with 62, while Tom Wood scored 41 at the top of the innings.

Cam Williams was the best of the Boneo bowlers, with four wickets.

In reply, the visitors were bowled out in the 36th over for 102. Josh Gana top scored with 23.

Ryan Barnett claimed 4/26 from 10 overs for the Braves.

Red Hill and Main Ridge scored more than 400 runs between them on the small deck at Ditterich Reserve.

The Hillmen batted fi rst with Callum Rowe (53), Simon Dart (50) and Matt Merifi eld (50) all getting half centuries to score 5/216.

In reply, Gareth Wyatt scored 69 and Ed Aarons 50. However, after 40 overs, the home side was left 15 runs short (9/201).

Rowe bowled fi ve overs for a return of 4/32 and was the catalyst in the win after Main Ridge appeared to be in control at 6/180.

Seaford is one game outside the top four after picking up the win against Delacombe Park. The Parkers were bowled out in the 28th over. Shane Deal was explosive, netting 71 after the visitors were 7/78.

Paul Hartle wound back the clock for Seaford and snared 4/31 from 8.5 overs. Seaford got the runs (4/153) in the 28th over, with Faisal Payenda scoring 63.

Heatherhill too is just a game outside the top bracket after beating Carrum. They made 8/163 with Kristian Miller top scoring with 34 and Christian Heath getting 29.

The Lions were rolled for 148 in the 38th over.

Ben Davies picked up 3/25 in his fi rst senior match while Jake Theobold claimed 3/29.

Seaford Tigers picked up the 12 points after beating Mt Martha.

The Reds batted fi rst and were restricted to 99 in 38.3 overs. Jake Smart top scored with 25.

Matt Meagher, Corey Hand, Ash Mills and Darren James all picked up two wickets each.

The Tigers were in some early trouble at 5/37 before Meagher (30) and David James (20*) got them home (8/102).

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT GullyA REAL race for a place in the fi nals has developed in MPCA Sub District cricket following the opening match of the New Year.

While Dromana and Hastings are nestled nicely in the top two spots on the ladder, there are now six clubs who have claims on the fi nal two positions.

Balnarring is back in the race af-ter knocking over Rosebud in a high scoring clash.

The Buds won the toss and elect-ed to bat at Balnarring Reserve and looked to do everything right on their way to 7/192.

Billy Quigley was superb with 72 batting at three, Matt Maher contrib-uted 28 and Kane Donald scored 23.

The best of the Balnarring bowlers were Mitch Kleinig (2/46) and Mi-chael Griese (2/35).

However, despite the strong total, the Saints were able to hunt it down. The home side fi nished with 7/193 off 37 overs.

Andrew Shannon top scored for the Saints with an unbeaten 54 while Mark Walles hit 49.

Jason Nagel was the pick of the Rosebud bowlers with 3/43 from 10 overs, while Quigley and Geoff Glaum each picked up two wickets.

Ballam Park is just half a game outside the top bracket after beating Frankston YCW.

It was a must-win game for the Knights, and they did it after batting fi rst and scoring 7/193.

That was largely due to the sensa-tional innings of David Roach, who opened with a superb knock of 107.

Andrew Kitson claimed 3/39 for the Stonecats.

In reply, the visitors were rolled for 153 after 37 overs.

Lai Leaunoa opened with 58 for the Stonecats to be their highest run getter.

Dean Lefebvre was the star with the ball for the Knights, taking 5/24 from eight overs.

Sean Osborne was also back for the Knights, getting 1/27 from fi ve overs and scoring 16 runs. Nathan Bradbury was also back for his fi rst game.

Dromana’s Aaron Kaddatz almost single-handedly beat Tootgarook.

Kaddatz claimed 5/20 from 10 overs in Tootgarook’s total of 141 in 38 overs. Kaddatz also caused a run-out.

He then scored an unbeaten 33 as the Hoppers scored 6/146 in 40 overs. Jack Fowler was the top scorer for Dromana with 38.

The match between Carrum Downs and second placed Hastings was aban-doned due to an unplayable pitch.
