Special Promotion - 23 March 2016

We’re making level crossings a thing of the past.

IT was Patterson River Secondary College’s turn to host

the annual Singfest that sees choirs from schools across

the South Eastern Region meet, learn and perform choral

music under the leadership of a guest conductor.

Conductor Dr Kathleen McGuire, co-artistic director of

the School of Hard Knocks, took up the baton in Carrum

last Wednesday (16 March) to lead about 200 students

from ten schools across the south east this year.

Dr McGuire’s career as a conductor, composer and edu-

cator spans more than three decades and five countries.

She has earned multiple degrees including the Doctor of

Musical Arts from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

A variety of choral music was composed and arranged

by Dr McGuire to help students improve their musicality,

intonation and sight reading abilities.Since the guest conductor was also the composer and

arranger of this year’s music at Singfest it gave students a

greater insight into the music learned and performed.

Nineteen Patterson River Secondary students from

years 7 to 12 took part in Singfest.“The day ran very smoothly with students very happy to

go out of their way to meet and help students from other

schools,” principal Maree Vinocuroff said.Dr McGuire was assisted over the course of the day by

accompanist Yollette Stewart.

Schools hit the high notes

A WILD brawl in Melbourne’s city centre has put the focus on a gang involved in brazen violent burglaries and car thefts in the south east sub-urbs over the past few months.

Members of the Apex gang clashed with police at Federation Square and

surrounding streets last Saturday evening (12 March) as terrified by-standers attending the Moomba Fes-tival fled for safety.The high-profile clash caused Pre-

mier Daniel Andrews to vow to get tough with violent gangs.“What happened on Saturday even-

ing was completely unacceptable,” Mr Andrews said at a press confer-

ence the day after the brawl.“I will make sure that Victoria Po-

lice has whatever they need to smash these gangs and make sure we don’t have a repeat.”Mr Andrews said those responsible

would “feel the full force of the law”.Police say the Apex gang, initially

young men of Sudanese descent, now has more than 150 members from

various backgrounds including Suda-nese, Caucasian, Pacific Islander and Middle Eastern youths.The gang formed about 18 months

ago and is named after a street in Dandenong where the gang’s found-ers lived.Police in the south east suburbs

have noted gangs such as Apex have been responsible for violent carjack-

ings in the area.The gangs use social media, includ-ing Facebook, and encryption apps to target the homes of owners of luxury cars to steal the vehicles. In some cases, the offenders smash

their way into homes at night and demand the car keys from owners at gunpoint.

"A hearing loss is more noticeable than a hearing aid"

GRADUATION rates at the individual campuses of privately operated training colleges are not being monitored by the federal government despite billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money paid out to the college operators.

The cost of VET FEE-HELP courses being offered by private education providers soared to $1.6 billion nation-ally last year with taxpayers footing the bill for loans to students to pay for vocational college courses.

Most of this money is unlikely to ever be repaid since graduation rates at the private colleges are extremely low and some colleges have ceased operations recently after coming under scrutiny by


the Australian Competition and Con-sumer Commission over the marketing of VET FEE-HELP courses, marketed as “study now, pay later” courses, to low-income students with little chance of completing courses.

Evocca College, a registered train-ing organisation (RTO) with a campus in Frankston, announced last week it will close 17 of its 44 campuses across Australia and sack 220 of its 770 staff across the country.

Evocca’s Frankston college will remain open but the company refuses to confirm graduation rates at the campus.

“It’s Evocca’s policy not to disclose statistics relating to specific campus-es,” Evocca spokeswoman Suzanne Ross said late last year (‘Unanswered

questions on Evocca graduation rates’, The News 4/11/15).

The federal Department of Education has now advised The Times it “does not collect student completion data by campus”.

“Course completion data is reported to the Department at the provider level and not at campus level,” a statement said. “Therefore the department is un-able to provide course completion data at the campus level.”

The Department and Gemma Sandlant, a media adviser to Liberal Vocational Education Minister Scott Ryan, refused to provide a spokesperson name for the emailed statement.

“It’s a response from the department, so it can be attributed to the depart-ment,” Ms Sandlant said.

Evocca has received more than $400 million in VET-FEE HELP funding nationally. Department of Education figures reveal 32.9 per cent of VET-FEE HELP students at Evocca in 2011 had graduated by 2014 and 22.4 per cent of students who signed up in 2012 had finished their course.

The Department of Education advised The News there were 447 students enrolled at Evocca’s Frankston campus in 2014 despite being unable to confirm graduation rates there.

Evocca College CEO Craig White admitted the company is closing cam-puses and firing staff due to changes to eligibility criteria imposed by the federal government in January for VET FEE-HELP loans to students.

“Fewer students will now be able to

qualify to enter Diploma-level courses at all training organisations under new rules including more stringent language, literacy and numeracy testing require-ments. In addition, VET FEE-HELP has been capped to 2015 levels, restricting the growth of all providers, both public and private,” he said in a statement last week.

“A workforce reduction is always the last resort and Evocca College has taken every possible step to minimise the impact of the changing operating environment on our staff.”

The VET FEE-HELP system was introduced by the former federal Labor government in 2009. Labor announced last week it will order a full audit of the vocational college sector if it wins gov-ernment at this year’s federal election.

Campuses closed, graduation rates unknown

A MORNINGTON Peninsula coun-cillor wants municipalities around Port Phillip to ban jet skis.

The call follows a plea last month by Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bears-ley to extend ‘no boating zones’ off Bonbeach and Aspendale beaches to protect swimmers from jet skis (‘Plea to put more limits on jet-skis’, The News 24/2/16).

Peninsula Nepean ward council-lor Hugh Fraser will try to drum up support for a jet ski ban from the 10-member Association of Bayside Municipalities.

If they agree, the state government would then be asked to implement the ban.

“This [ban] has been successfully accomplished on Sydney Harbour and I simply ask the question, as to whether that is a matter of interest to the association,” Cr Fraser said.

He raised the jet ski ban at the 15 March council meeting, asking Cr Bev Colomb – Mornington Penin-sula Shire’s delegate to the Associa-tion of Bayside Municipalities and its current president – if she would take it up at the association’s next meeting.

Cr Colomb suggested that Cr Fraser talk to the shire’s coastal planners “and put a paper together” detailing his proposal.

“I’m sure that the assembly of the 10 councils around the bay will look at that, as they do other things that are put forward to the ABM, [which

Peninsula leads call to ban jet skis

will then] decide if it’s appropriate for them to put that forward. We do get a lot of requests along lines like that,” she said.

The association was very busy, Cr Colomb said, with “several projects that we’ve got steerage of”.

“There is a process where, if you put some things together – and you could bring that … along to the ABM and put that forward as other delegates do; and it’s actually around the table that makes that decision.”

Cr Colomb was reporting to coun-cillors on dealings with the state gov-ernment on the recently concluded Port of Melbourne lease and its im-pact on Port Phillip.

The ABM had put a set of princi-ples to the government, which it be-lieves “would ensure the health of the bay for many years to come”.

“We will be seeking a response this week especially the monitoring of the bay and the shoreline as this is fundamental [to having] a bench-

mark for future monitoring of the bay,” Cr Colomb said.

“We’ll be going back to the Treas-urer this week to try and get some of those principles in place.”

Jet skis, regarded by many beach-goers as a dangerous, noisy nuisance, are strictly controlled by legislation.

Operators must sit a test, be li-censed and their craft must be reg-istered. They and their passengers must wear lifejackets. A waterproof torch must be carried.

Jet ski drivers are subject to hoon legislation if engaged in dangerous activity that could hurt another water user and police issue fines or seize a craft used in a dangerous way.

Hoon behaviour includes perform-ing “doughnuts” within 50 metres of swimmers or other water users and exceeding 8kph within 50 metres of other water users or closer than 200 metres to the shore.

Beachgoers seeing such behaviour can ring 000 and report it to police.

Premature campaignsA campaign is being waged for the extension of the Mornington Penin-sula Freeway to connect with the new Dingley Bypass before we know how the Bypass will affect traffic flows.

The extension would cut a swathe through the Green Wedge with a disastrous impact on Braeside Park and on the amenity of residents of Waterways, Aspendale Gardens (east of Wells Rd) and Dingley Village.

All this to create an elevated freeway that would run parallel to the Springvale/Westall Rd access to Dingley Bypass before joining it in Dingley Village. From Seaford, Eastlink/ Dandenong Bypass might be a quicker route to South Rd.

There has to be a better answer to traffic management than this expen-sive, damaging road. Perhaps public transport or grade separations?

Another premature campaign is underway to scare people off sky rail, an elevated railway, before the gov-ernment’s consultation process even begins discussing options.

The Kingston Residents Association calls on Government to hold open forums to present the positives and negatives for both options for remov-ing level crossings, elevated rail or trenched rail, so residents can form their own evidence-based opinions.

Trevor Shewan, President, Kingston Residents Association

Airport ‘insane’Re ‘Port or airport plea to Premier’, The News 16/3/16: It’s a ridiculous proposal and more false hope for poor old Hastings.

If the dock didn’t get up its absurd to even suggest an ‘airport’ would. Environmentally and feasibly insane.

The only glimmer of hope is that

the lease agreement for the port of Melbourne guaranteed 15 years of monopoly and not 50.

15 years is too long for many who have waited at least 60 since the first hints of Port of Hastings, and I cer-tainly wouldn’t bet on it going ahead then but IMO the door is slightly ajar...

Toby Alexander, via Facebook

Port on its way?Stop acting like there is no major de-velopment taking place at Hastings?

Slowly but surely little steps have been taken to make a port there.

I think the decision and plans for the Port of Hastings had started in 1964 (or near that date).

The government is trying to make us look the other way while they

build the port. So then we all go “how did that get

there?”.Nicole Jenkins, via Facebook

Ground airport ideaI hope the notion comes crashing to the ground, what with helicopters, drones, planes from Tyabb, jets com-ing to land from overseas we have enough noise buzzing over us thanks very much.

CRIME in Kingston soared 15.3 per cent last year according to the latest figures released by the Crime Statis-tics Agency.

Reported offences across Victoria in 2015 jumped by 8.1 per cent com-pared to 2014 while crime in King-ston was also up between 2014 and 2015.

Property and deception offences, including burglaries, rose in the Kingston area from 5801 in 2014 to 6900 last year.

There were two homicides in Kingston last year and none in 2014.

There were 11,117 reported crimes in Kingston last year compared to 9521 in 2014.

The crime statistics are released by the Crime Statistics Agency every quarter and the latest figures were published last Wednesday (16 March).

At a Melbourne media confer-

Crime rise driven by burglariesence last Thursday Premier Daniel Andrews said he is unhappy at the statewide rise in crime.

“Victorians don’t want any excus-es and I will offer none,” he said.

“Instead what I will say to every Victorian, and indeed, first among them, to the Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police Graham Ashton, if you need additional powers you will get them.

“If you need additional resources, you will get them.”

Victoria Police chief commission-er Graham Ashton said street gangs, such as the Apex gang who rioted in Melbourne CBD last Saturday even-ing, were mostly responsible for a rise in vehicle thefts and aggravated burglaries.

Credit card theft investigatedShopping: Images of a woman sought in relation to investigation.

POLICE are investigating the cir-cumstances surrounding a theft and subsequent deceptions which oc-curred in Skye and Carrum Downs earlier this month.

Investigators have been told a cred-it card was stolen from a letterbox in Jurang Way, Skye on Wednesday 2 March.

The card was then used at various stores in a shopping complex on Hall

Rd, Carrum Downs to buy gift cards and toiletries.

Investigators have made numerous of enquiries and have released im-ages of a woman that may be able to assist with the investigation.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit confiden-tial report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

POLICE are having difficulty in catch-ing up with the driver of a Porsche Cayenne stolen from a Mornington car yard.

The latest model of the upmarket SUV retails for more than $139,000 and the one stolen on 9 March has been spotted several times in Frankston and Seaford.

However police have been unable to catch up with the erratic driver who has sped off at high speed, disobeyed traffic control signals and turned off the vehi-cles headlights.

The white 4x4 Porsche, bearing reg-

istration plates ABF 179, was stolen overnight but police believe the regis-tration plates are being changed each night.

Police patrols have spotted the Por-sche has been seen on the Dandenong-Frankston Rd, Sussex St and Bellevue Cres in Seaford, on the Frankston Free-way and on Ballarto Rd. When seen early Friday morning its registration plate was 1DT 2LC.

Anyone who sees the vehicle or has any information can call Crime Stop-pers on 1800 333 000 or file a confiden-tial report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Porsche driver dodges police

A MOTORCYCLIST pulled up at an Operation Wasp roadblock at Peninsula Link Bungower Rd exit at 11.30pm Friday 11 March ran off while being questioned by police.

The 28-year-old Frankston North man was caught after a short pursuit and remanded in custody to appear at Frankston Magistrates Court Mon-day 14 March.

Police said the man outstanding warrants and was wanted for several burglaries.

Sergeant Steve Duffee of Morning-ton police said all Peninsula Link off

ramps were blocked during Opera-tion Wasp.

“It is a road police operation where we set up off the exits on Friday at the start of the long weekend. It is a called Wasp as it is part of a sting operation,” Sergeant Duffee said.

Senior Sergeant Andrew Brock-way, commander of the Division Four Highway Patrol said the opera-tion breath tested drivers from about 2800 vehicles.

“We identified six that exceeded the prescribed concentration of alcohol and two that exceeded the

prescribed concentration of drugs. Two vehicles were impounded from these offences. We also identified one disqualified driver and two unlicensed drivers and issued a further nine penalty notices,” Senior Sergeant Brockway said.

“These statistics are on par with what we have identified with previ-ous Wasps, so issues with people continuing to drive while affected by alcohol and drugs are still continu-ing. We will continue to do these operations over Easter and the com-ing Anzac long weekend.”

LIFESAVING Victoria has issued a list of safety measures for rock fishing which it sees as one of the most dangerous aquatic sports in Australia.

The rocky shorelines of Mornington Peninsula facing Bass Strait are as much a lure to anglers as their baits are to fish, and just as deadly.

On 10 January a 67-year-old man died after being swept from rocks while fishing at Sorrento.

One week later a 26-year-old fisherman was washed off the rocks at Bridgewater Bay in Port-land.

The two deaths sparked an appeal from Life Sav-ing Victoria for anglers to take more precautions.

Top of the list is for rock fishers to wear lifejackets and never fish alone.

The check list also cautions them to wear ap-propriate, lightweight clothing and footwear, avoid fishing during rough weather or where there are large waves, plan and escape route and “observe first, fish later”.

Fishers are also advised to speak with “locals”.A news release from LSV quotes Chinese fisher-

man Victor Fan, who survived a rock fishing drown-ing incident in January 2012 at Pyramid Rock.

“People don’t realise just how dangerous rock

fishing can be, I know I certainly didn’t,” Mr Fan is quoted as saying.

“I urge people to learn from my mistake and ensure they prepare for changing conditions and always wear a lifejacket. No fish is worth risking your life.”

Statistics show there were 13 drownings along the Bass Strait coast between 2000-2012.

Most of the incidents involved men aged 35-59 years from a non-English speaking background.

None were wearing lifejackets.“It’s a sad reality that the simple act of wearing

a lifejacket would have most likely saved many lives,” LSV principal research associate Dr Berna-dette Matthews said.

“If you do get swept off the rocks unexpectedly, wearing a properly fitting lifejacket will keep you afloat with your head above water until help can ar-rive.”

Last year LSV held rock fishing workshops to Vi-etnamese and Chinese fishers who are seen as being the highest risk groups.

A STUDY will be held to identify sites for new boat ramps on the Mornington Peninsula.

The Mornington Peninsula Marine Alliance says a steering committee will hire consultants to undertake the $40,000 feasibility study.

The state government-financed study will also investigate improving existing boat ramps.

Head of the marine alliance Stefan Borzeki, who operates Yaringa boat harbour near Somerville, said 60 per cent of the state’s recreational boating took place on Western Port and Port Phillip.

He said there had been “been little renewal or replacement of marine infrastructure in the past 25 years … This under investment is a grave risk for the viability of the marine industry”.

Mr Borzeki said the steering committee would include representatives from Parks Victoria, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Boating Industry As-sociation Victoria and “key local industry persons from the MPMA”.

The committee will seek expressions of interest from three “suitably qualified consultants to en-sure the project is run in a timely, responsive and comprehensive manner”.

“Victoria cannot lose more jobs, we as a com-munity must create more jobs and the marine sector is a great industry for the Mornington Peninsula; the key to this is creating easier access to the waters of Port Phillip and Western Port.”

Site search for boat ramps

Continued from Page 1Gang members, aged 14 and up,

show little regard for innocent victims of their crimes.

A 15-year-old Patterson Lakes boy believed to be associated with the Apex gang was arrested after an early morning collision in Mordial-loc in November last year that killed 47-year-old mother-of-two Amanda Matheson who was driving to work.

A contentious ‘no-pursuit’ policy introduced last year has been de-fended by senior police who say lives are at risk when offenders are chased since they may be unlicensed and have no driving experience.

Despite the Premier’s insistence that gang members will “feel the full force of the law” some police offic-

ers are frustrated at lenient sentences handed out to young offenders.

In September last year, Frankston Embona Detective Sergeant Marty O’Brien said crime gangs such as Apex had a “blatant disregard for the law”.

“We have 15 and 17-year-olds com-mitting armed robberies and burgla-ries. They have no family support and their ages mean they walk straight from court.”

He said one youth was bailed by Frankston Magistrates’ Court after committing 14 armed robberies.

“Why a court would even entertain the idea of bail I don’t know,” he said.

“We need to get harder because it’s getting worse. Upon conviction, they should be sent straight out of

the country. It’s a privilege to reside here.”

Police arrested four people on the night of the Melbourne brawl and have vowed to track down other of-fenders.

On Monday afternoon (14 March) two men, believed to be associated with the Apex gang, were arrested by police in Dandenong.

The men, both aged 18, are alleged to have been involved in a recent spate of aggravated burglaries, car-jackings and armed robberies across south east suburbs.

Bail not answer: Frankston police are frustrated at the leniency shown by the courts to some repeat young offenders.

Gangs show ‘disregard for the law’

GLOBALLY renowned artist and peace activist William Kelly will speak at this month’s Kingston Interfaith Art of Peace Dinner.

Born in New York City, William Kelly was the recipient of the prestigious Courage of Conscience Award from the Peace Abby in America and is the only visual artist to receive an Australian Violence Prevention Award from the Prime Minister.

He will discuss his work, which has been exhib-ited in over 20 countries across the world, includ-ing the award winning Peace Project sparked by Melbourne’s 1987 Queen Street shootings.

The Kingston Interfaith network aims to build connections and conversation between different faith groups in the community.

Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said King-ston was proud to support this event which aims to strengthen interfaith links and help build peace

and understanding in our community.“We’re proud to live in a multicultural commu-

nity where people of many different cultures and faiths live with peace and respect,” Cr Bearsley said.

“Groups like the Kingston Interfaith Network do a fantastic job of creating a stronger and more connected community by building friendships and understanding across different faith groups.”

The Kingston Interfaith Network meets monthly and hosts events throughout the year.

The Kingston Interfaith Art of Peace Dinner is on 7pm-9pm Wednesday 23 March at Southern Community Church of Christ in Cheltenham.

All welcome, bookings essential, for the night of multicultural food and entertainment.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Water to be supplied to naval baseCompiled by Melissa WalshAPPROVAL has been given by the State Cabinet to the preparation of a scheme by the Water Commission for the supply of water to the Flinders Naval Base, and a number of towns in the Mornington Peninsula.

The supply, it is suggested should come from the Bunyip River, but be-fore this can be finally decided further surveys will have to be made.

The cost of the scheme will proba-bly run from £160,000 to £170,000. It has been intimated, however, that the State Treasurer is not willing to find that sum unless the Federal authorities are prepared to make satisfactory ar-rangements for obtaining the money.

In anticipation that these arrange-ments will be made, the Cabinet ap-proved of recommendations by the Water Commission that it be empow-ered to make surveys, so as to as-certain the most effective sources of supply, and evolve a suitable scheme for submission to the Federal authori-ties and local councils. The number of towns to serve is eight, namely, As-pendale, Chelsea. Carrum, Seaford, Frankston, Somerville, Mornington, and the Naval Base.

If the Bunyip scheme, which, it is thought is the most effective, is adopt-ed, Bunyip, GarfieId. and Cranbourne may also be supplied.

***IN our account of the Mornington Races last, week we placed Gallant-

ry as the winner of the run off in the Kitchener Purse. It should have been Boothnulla first, Gallantry second.

***MESSRS Adamson, Strettle, and Co, auctioneers, of Melbourne, notify in our advertising columns that they will hold chair opening style at the Tanti Yards on 17th April, commencing at one o’clock, for which entries are in-vited.

***THE many friends of Mr D. Kennedy, of Frankston, will regret to hear of the death of his brother, Corporal Robert Kennedy, which sad event took place at the Alfred Hospital on Sunday last from meningitis. The deceased was only 21 years of age, and expected to sail for the front shortly.

***WE have received a post-card from Gunner H. H. Allen, dated 28th Janu-ary last, from Tel-el Kebir, in which he states he has met Private Coving-ton, Driver Bert Roberts, Gunners Elliott, Broomhead and Reeves, all of whom were looking well, and he himself is in good health.

***A MEETING of ratepayers, governed by the Dandenong shire (Cr.Pearson), was held on Monday night to consider the proposal to re-subdivide the shire and form a fourth riding, as advocated by members of the South riding. A counter petition, favoring a re-subdi-vision of the whole shire, without in-creasing the number of ridings, was,

however, adopted.***

AT the last meeting of the Somerville Patriots’ League there was passed for payment £5 for the Lady Mayoress’s Condensed Milk Fund, the bulk of this sum being raised at the euchre tournament held by the League on 24th February.

The total amount sent to the Lady Mayoress’s Milk Fund, for the Sol-diers abroad, is now £15 altogether, from this branch. The ladies have sent quite a large consignment of shirts and socks to the Lady Mayoress, who is in charge of the shipping arrange-ments in Melbourne.

***THE appeal made by the secretary of the Frankston Club for residents to take up 30 debentures at £1 each to enable the Club to pay off the liabil-ity due on the billiard-table is meet-ing with a ready response, and already about 20 of them have been taken up, and Mr. Reynolds does not expect any difficulty in disposing of the remain-der.

About 95 per cent of the eligible members have enlisted and gone to the front, and by the adoption of the above scheme the table will be re-tained for their use on their return.

***AT a meeting of the Frankston School Board of Advice and parents, held in the schoolroom on Thursday evening, it was finally decided that a flower show be held on 3rd November next,

the proceeds to be devoted to patriotic purposes, A schedule for competition was submitted, and after being care-fully considered was adopted, full particulars of which will be duly ad-vertised.

Most of the classes are for children, but there is also included an open class for those who care to compete. Instructions have been sent to all head teachers throughout the State to try and interest the children in their various schools in getting up an ex-hibition on the date named to assist wounded soldiers. It is also intended to hold an exhibition on a large scale in Melbourne on the same date.

***A RETURNED soldier by the Ke-nowna last week, named Private H. E. Hughes, who is residing at Wirth’s Rest Home, met with an accident on Sunday evening at the Mile Bridge, Frankston. It appears he was riding behind a motorcyclist, who also had a side-car attached, in which were his wife and child.

When approaching the bridge a mo-tor car was coming in the opposite direction, and in order to avoid it he had either to drive into deep sand or into the creek. In attempting this, the soldier was thrown from his seat and sustained concussion of the brain.

The side-car capsized,the wife and child fortunately escaping without injury. The injured man was taken to Dr.Maxwell’s surgery, who examined him, and obtained the services of a

passing car to send him back to his home.

***ON Saturday 1st a complimentary so-cial was tendered to Mr H. Downward by the Bittern and Emu Plains Racing Club, as a mark of the appreciation of the members for their secretary on the occasion of his approaching marriage. Under the capable handling of Mr H. Stacey, President, the forty odd mem-bers and guests present in the Bittern Hall, had a most convivial time.

Songs recitations etc., were ren-dered and all went merry as the pro-verbial marriage bell, which was just as it should have been. Amongst oth-ers the star performers were Messrs F. Stacy, Pete Mulreahy, C. Van Cuylen, Boynon, J. Meeoan and Samble.

Crs Davies, ex-president of Shire, Buckley, of Flinders, and a visiting Councillor from a neighbouring shire all made speeches of appreciation of Cr Downward and of his monumental work in the organization of the Race Club.

Cr H. Downward suitably respond-ed. During the evening a handsome and valuable case of cutlery etc, was presented to Mr Downward. Mr H Stacey, making the presentation with the aptest of remarks. Mr Lambie looked after the refreshments with studious care.

Rosebud Kite Festival flies highANOTHER ‘cast of thousands’ turned up on Rosebud’s foreshore on Sunday 13th, to enjoy the spec-tacle of the annual Kite Festival, presented by the local Rosebud traders.

The afternoon breeze picked up to see the full quota of maxi kites fill the sky, with professional kite flyers traveling from New Zealand, ACT and from across Victoria to display their skills and show their interesting kites.

With local musicians entertain-ing from the stage, kids rides, face painters, stilt walkers, animal farm, reptile displays and a host of food stalls lined along the site, this fam-ily oriented festival saw smiling faces throughout the day.

The Rosebud Chamber of Com-merce thanks all their sponsors, in particular the financial support of the Mornington Peninsula Shire, Lamattina Fruit Growers and Bendigo Bank.

Thousands of dollars was raised for local community groups on the day, including the Dromana Sea Scouts, Rosebud Scouts, Rosebud CFA, McCrae Lions, Boneo Crick-et Club and the events’ nominated charity, One Voice.

DISTRICTBy IT GullyPEARCEDALE won back-to-back premierships on Saturday after dominating the third and final day of the MPCA District grand final against Flinders.

After beating Frankston YCW in the Sub District grand final last season, the Panthers had an almost faultless 2015-16 season and capped it off with the District flag.

For the first time in the clubs’ history, Pearcedale will play in Provincial next season.

The win brought down the curtain on the career of Shane Maggs, who played juniors with Pearcedale before playing higher grade cricket. He took the final wicket of the match, knocking out the stump of Flinders’ number 11 Matt

Burns for a duck. He finished with 2/26 from 15.2 overs.

Pearcedale went into the final day minus a bowler after Sam Frawley injured himself and failed to pass a fitness test.

This left a lot of work to be done by Shayne Gillings, Kaine Smith, Chris Dew and Maggs. Without question, they were all keen to have the rock in their hands.

Flinders resumed on 2/36, chasing Pearcedale’s 9/272 after Chris Dew hit and unbeaten 159 the week before. Dew also had both Flinders wickets at the start of the day.

With an extremely slow scoring rate on an equally slow outfield, Flinders had their backs to the wall.

The Sharks added just two runs in the opening seven overs of the day before there was a 56-minute rain delay.

However, when play resumed at 1.43pm, it was all downhill for the Sharks at that point.

Kaine Smith, who is always neat and tidy with ball in hand, picked up the wicket of Mitch Stansborough (10) when a full toss was hit straight back to him.

Tom Clements came to the crease with an intent to score, however, he edged a Gillings’ ball to second slip and left after scoring just five runs. At that stage, Flinders was in some real strife at 4/63.

Andy Power was looking strong at the other end for the Sharks and when Simon Parrott joined him at the crease, Flinders’ president Clint Munday claimed on radio RPP that this was the “key partnership” for his club and would go a long way in the team getting back into the match.

However, Parrott (0) lasted less than an over when he tried to smash a Smith full toss out of the park, only to hear the rattle of his leg stump. Flinders was gone at 5/66.

When Power tried to whip a Gillings’ ball off his legs, edged and got caught behind down the leg side, Flinders was 6/70.

The loss of Power brought Blake Hogan-Keogh to the crease with league legend Shane Beggs.

Again, Munday told RPP listeners that he believed this was another ‘key partnership’ for his club. Munday was hoping more than anything and giving his team’s listeners some positive reinforcement.

The reality was that the Panthers were all over the Sharks. The Sharks had scored almost less runs than it had faced overs and had four wickets in

hand on a ground that was extremely difficult to get to the boundary. Flinders were gone.

At tea Flinders was 6/74 off 66 overs. They needed 199 runs in 45 overs to win the game.

After tea things didn’t get any better for Flinders.

Hogan-Keogh was solid for 37 off 49 deliveries before he became Maggs’ first victim, Beggs made 12 before chopping one on off Gillings. Dwayne Field was run out for eight and Burns went for a duck. Within a blink of an eye, Flinders weres bowled out for 136.

Gillings finished with 3/39 off 23 overs, Smith snared 2/23 off 19, Maggs took 2/26 and Chris Dew finished with 2/41 off 23 overs.

Back-to-back for Panthers

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT GullyROSEBUD will play in MPCA District ranks next season after winning the Sub District premiership against Frankston YCW on Saturday.

The Buds had to withstand a strong fightback from the Stonecats on the third and final day of the match to claim victory.

It was one of the best of all time in Rosebud star Jason Nagel who contributed most significantly to the win for Rosebud.

While rumours circulated on radio RPP about Jason Nagel’s cricketing future, he was going about winning a flag for his beloved Rosebud Cricket Club.

Nagel bowled an amazing 38 overs, had 15 maidens and finished with match winning figures of 6/60.

He bowled in tandem mostly with his son at the other end, Patrick bowling 27 overs, while Brian Doughty took 1/32 from his 14 overs and Billy Quigley snared 2/17 off seven overs.

Most attendees on Saturday were expecting to see four quick wickets and the premiership

heading down the southern peninsula.

Frankston YCW went into the third day trying not to lose two grand finals in as many seasons.

The Stonecats resumed at 6/66 with the evergreen Matty Lane at the crease with Matt Black.

The couple completed the first task and that was to try and get their side to tea without loss. At tea, YCW was 6/100.

Lane and Black got the score to 116 before Nagel had Black trapped leg before for 13.

This brought skipper Andrew Kitson to the crease. It’s also when the game became very interesting.

Lane and Kitson took the score to 140 before Lane became Nagel’s fifth victim for 58.

It was more hope than anything else at that point for the Stonecats.

Rosebud took the new ball when YCW had reached 8/152.

Craig Burch added six runs before he was given leg before off the bowling of Brian Doughty and Kitson (43) had hits stumps rattled by Nagel to hand the Buds the premiership.

FOOTBALLBy Toe PuntTHE Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League season kicks-off this Easter weekend with five matches being played across two divisions.

The match with the biggest hype will be played at the home of peninsula football, Frankston Park, when Frankston Bombers tackle Pearcedale on Good Friday.

Fresh from winning ‘Celebrity get me out of here”, former Carlton and Brisbane Lion full forward Brendan Fevola will be lining up for the Bombers.

Frankston Bombers have invested enormously into the Fevola appearance and drawing a big crowd. For the Bombers’ sake, let’s hope a big crowd get down to Frankston Park on Good Friday.

Outside of Fevola, the Bombers have recruited extremely well in the off season.

Ryan Marks-Logan, who played a number of games for the Bombers last season, has committed for the season, as has Dale Sutton, who is also a Frankston boy.

Jarryd Amalfi has crossed from Langwarrin and will slot into a half back role, while Sam Fox and Ryan Kitchen are two big recruits for the Bombers. Kitchen is the ruckman the Bombers have been looking, especially with James Orr leaving the club.

The Bombers have an outstanding draw in 2016 and should be expecting to play finals.

Their opponent on Good Friday is Pearcedale.

The Panthers have picked up Travis Bravo and Robbie Muir from Somerville, while Troy Jacobson and

Alex Harnett return from Frankston Dolphins.

Basil Sibosado is the most significant loss for the Panthers, while Andrew Knight and Brendan Neville are also no longer at the club.

The Panthers will be relying on another improved year from its youngsters, especially under the guidance of new assistant coach Chris Irving.

Down the Peninsula, also on Good Friday, Rosebud will unfurl its flag against old foe Rye.

There is a bit to prove from both sides this season.

The Buds will be expected to back up from its premiership win last season and challenge again.

Rye was the big disappointment last season and will be keen to avenge not playing finals.

Rosebud has picked up former Seaford star Michael Kraska as coach, who has been playing bush footy for the past couple of seasons. He is yet to play a practice match and missed most of December-January through overseas travel. It’s not the ideal preparation.

The Buds were banking on ‘Kras’ bringing a couple of recruits with him, however, none followed.

The question for Rosebud is how do they cover their losses?

The dominant forward of the competition last season in Tom Baker is at Casey, while fellow forward players in Lachy Armstrong (retired) and Cade Williams (Dromana) will not be in the front six either. Arguably two of the best five midfielders in the comp last season is Jason Bristow and Rob Forrest have left and the tough Paul McDonald has hung them up.

Expect the Buds to miss the finals

all together this season.Rye needs to play finals.James Appleford returns from

Frankston Dolphins. Matt Greig and Craig Christie come from the EFL, Steve Downes returns after stints at Dromana and in the EFL and there’s a handful of blokes they have picked up from South Mornington.

Andrew Dean (Tooradin), Jye Lloyd (Casey) and Rhett Sutton are big outs, while Matt Goodman has also left.

On Easter Saturday, Dromana will play host to Sorrento.

The messiah of Dromana, Rikki Johnston, has returned to the Tigers as coach.

The result of this great move by the Tigers has seen a number of recruits join the club, while others have returned.

After a long battle with illness, Adam Hunter has been given the all clear from doctors, completed a full pre-season and will line up in this match and is ready for a big season.

Aaron Hunter, Michael Gillis and Jay Hutchison have returned, Cade Williams is back from Rosebud, while Rory Gregg (ruckman from Chelsea), Beau Cosson (VCFL key forward from Ararat) and Mitch Gill-Furness (defender from Langwarrin) have signed with the club and will all be very good players. Braden Hyde has also signed with the club.

Sorrento has had some mixed fortunes.

New Sorrento coach and reigning premiership coach Nick Jewell was keeping things is perspective when it comes to the upcoming season.

“We’ve lost some very good players and we’ve picked up some very good players. I think people focus

sometimes on the signings and forget about those who you have lost,” Jewell said last year.

Those losses include four team of the year players in Jon Croad, Leigh Poholke, Daniel Grant and Troy Schwarze. These four players would walk straight into any club in Australia. Add the emerging Brodie Webb and Chris Morgan, along with key premiership forward Ryan Jeffrey and there’s a big hole.

A key recruit was Rob Forrest from Rosebud, however, he requires a full knee reconstruction after injury in a practice match two weeks ago.

On the up, however, is key forward Nick Corp, who is a gun, Doug Scott returns from Barwon, Scott Lockwood and Jack Egan cross from Mt Eliza, Dalton Sanderson is back from QLD, Daniel Hickey is back from Rosebud and Kayle Stringer-Morris returns.

Somerville and Tyabb also go toe to toe on Easter Saturday.

The Eagles’ big recruit is Ben Crowe, who will straighten them up.

Michael Towan and Adam Rose also return to the Eagles – they are all one point players.

More importantly, the Eagles haven’t lost anyone. They will start the season as flag favorites.

Tyabb has done a load of work in the off season under new coach Mark Paganoni.

Former skipper Ethan Rahilly has returned with brother Simon, Rowan McGrath has gone back, while they have picked up many players from around the traps. Justin Volk is the noticeable out, crossing to Devon Meadows.

The Yabbies will be more competitive, no question.

Peninsula League

Bonbeach and Edithvale-Aspendale will launch the MPNFL Peninsula Division season.

Unfortunately, once again, all of the interest in this competition is who will finish second to 10th.

Frankston YCW has been able to retain all of its list and the big talk is that Lachy Wallace and Anthony Barry will play early rounds for the Stonecats due to interrupted pre-seasons with Collingwood and Western Bulldogs VFL teams respectively.

The Stonecats were head and shoulders above everyone else last season and will be again.

Bonbeach lost a lot of players between the 2014 and 2015 seasons but many have returned – none bigger than Shane McDonald, who will make an enormous difference.

Robbie Lancaster and Michael Turville return while Ash Waterstone comes across to play with his brother from Dromana.

Nathan Robinson is the notable out for the Sharks.

Edithvale, who took part in finals last season, will slide in a big way.

The outs are horrific – Adam Budge, Matthew Clark, Jordy Derbyshire, Jarrod Garth, Tim Mavric, Brett O’Hanlon, Brad Tagg and youngsters Darcy Holden and Brody Lawford – that’s half of your starting 18 and the majority with star quality.

Giant ruckman Chris Wylie comes on board from Wonthaggi, Brendan Neville crosses from Pearcedale, Jeremy Heys and Andrew Luxa return from East Brighton, Joel Sullivan crosses from Dolphins, Brad Langenberg from Chelsea and Elliott Macquire from Old Mentonians.
