Do you enjoy watching the TV shows MasterChef or My Kitchen Rules? Head to the open judging of the fruitcakes and non-commercial cheeses. Cheese and yoghurt will be tasted and judged by an acclaimed international cheese judge with the coveted title of Champion Non-Commercial Cheese of the 2013 Red Hill Show up for grabs. There will also be a sausage-making competition for all snag lovers.

And, even though you’re escaping the hustle and bustle of shopping centres for the day to spend time in the fresh open

air, there will be stalls selling clothing, jewellery, outdoor furniture, garden tools, country antiques and collectables.

By Neil WalkerEIGHT new electronic gaming machines will be installed at the Cove Hotel in Pat-terson Lakes despite Kingston Council’s opposition to the move.

Council was notifi ed in October 2012 that the Cove Hotel would be applying for eight more gaming machines to be installed at the venue which already has

45 machines.In opposing the application by Mel-

bourne Racing Club Investments, owner of the Cove Hotel, council cited reports highlighting Kingston’s position as be-ing fi fth highest of 31 municipalities with regards to gaming machine expend-iture per adult.

A council community survey found 52

per cent of 236 respondents opposed ad-ditional pokies at the Cove.

However, the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation ap-proved the hotel’s application for the ad-ditional pokie machines on 18 February.

Residents opposed to the move were angered when councillors at a special meeting on Tuesday 12 March voted

against appealing the VCGLR ruling at the VCAT.

Councillors David Eden and Rose-mary West wanted to appeal against the ruling, but Crs Tamsin Bearsley, Paul Peulich, Geoff Gledhill and mayor Ron Brownlees voted against.

Council received legal advice from Maddocks lawyers advising a successful

challenge to the VGLR ruling would be “exceedingly diffi cult” since VCAT has never overturned a ‘top-up’ application by a gaming venue seeking additional gaming machine licenses.

Maddocks estimated council’s total le-gal fees if it decided to pursue the matter could reach $55,000.

Gym joy: Lorraine Wreford (right) with gymnastics teacher Rebecca Harvison and Mordialloc Community Centre gymnastics class students.

GYMNASTS will soon be able to get more active at the Mordialloc Community Centre with $48,275 in Victorian Government funding set to pay for the hall to be converted into a full-size gymnastics centre.

The funding was announced by Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford.

“This funding will help develop a quality, accessible community sport and recreation facility that can host big-ger and better sporting events, accommodate more people

of all abilities, and will play an important role in increasing participation and improving the health of the community for years to come,” Ms Wreford said.

Parkdale Secondard College also received a $90,000 fund-ing boost as part of the government’s Community Facilities Funding Program.

The school’s soccer pitch will be fi tted with fl oodlights to make it usable in the evening for Aspendale Junior Sporting Club as a training facility for its 150 junior members.

Start up grants are available to groups that assist people from multi-cultural or Indigenous backgrounds, or people with a disability who are at-tempting to form incorporated organi-sations.

Access grants are available to estab-lished groups that enable people from multicultural or indigenous back-grounds, or people with a disability to participate in community life.

Grant applications are assessed by council’s access and equity advisory committee.

Further information is available at www.kingston.vic.gov.au or by con-tacting council community develop-ment coordinator Kate Daddo on 9581 4734 or via email [email protected]

Streetlife fundingStreetlife fundingTHE City of Kingston will receive a $20,000 grant as part of the Victorian Government’s $6 million Streetlife program.

The council’s ‘Know Your Custom-er’ project will provide information and expertise to retailers and small businesses in Kingston’s main shop-ping strip centres to target the needs of customers within their area.

The project will use census data used to give retailers details of changes in customer profi les over the past decade.

Councils are eligible for grants of up to $20,000 on a co-funding basis, while business and trader associations can qualify for grants up to $5,000.

Individual grants are invested in new projects focused on the needs of retail businesses in community shop-ping precincts.

Visit www.business.vic.gov.au/streetlife online for further informa-tion.

Sunday discoverySunday discoveryTHE Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands Dis-cover Centre is now open to the public every Sunday from 1pm until 5pm.

Melbourne Water is extending the centre’s opening hours to meet com-munity demand.

Friends of the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands found open days they hosted on Sundays to be popular.

Volunteers from the Friends group will continue to staff the centre on a fortnightly basis on Sundays, with Melbourne Water providing additional staff.

The centre’s interactive display ena-bles visitors to view wildlife at close quarters via a high-resolution camera with a zoom lens.

The recreation boat launching ramp at Patterson River has been reopened after a $430,000 upgrade funded by the Victorian Government.

Carrum MP Donna Bauer and state Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith attended the announcement of the reopening of the launch facility.

Ms Bauer advised the new 170-me-tre long berthing section of the boat launching facility has been built to last at least 30 years.

The Victorian Government has also signed a Memorandum of Under-standing with Parks Victoria and state recreational fi shing body VRFish.

Continued from Page 3Kingston Residents’ Association

president Maureen Lim contacted South Ward Cr David Eden before the council meeting to voice residents’ concerns about the additional pokies and was dismayed at council’s deci-sion not to appeal the decision.

“It’s wrong that our council won’t act on this,” Ms Lim said. “Win or lose – you have to stand up for what is right.”

Cr Eden was also disappointed that his fellow councillors decided not to advocate against the VCGLR ruling on this occasion.

“The detrimental effects of problem gambling are huge,” Cr Eden said. “Council’s anti-gambling policies do not seem to be as strong as in some other municipalities.”

However, Cr Tamsin Bearsley stressed council does not support the installation of extra pokies machines in the Kingston municipality but coun-cillors also had to consider the costs involved in any legal challenge to the VCGLR ruling.

“It was highly unlikely any ap-peal would have been successful,” Cr Bearsley said. “There was no prec-edent for it [a successful challenge] at all and we had to decide whether to spend at least $55,000 of ratepayers’ money.”

Cr Bearsley said any future deci-

sions to oppose approvals for addition-al pokie machines in Kingston would be considered on a case-by-case basis.

In making its ruling to approve the Cove Hotel’s application, the VCGLR determined it was “satisfi ed that the net economic and social impacts of the approval on the well-being of the rel-evant community will be either neutral or positive”.

VCGLR data shows $86,504,008

was spent on gaming machines gam-bling in the City of Kingston in the 2011-12 fi nancial year, across 17 gam-ing venues with a total of 944 pokies; $3,214,528 was spent at the Cove Ho-tel’s 45 machines.

The data showed $47,776,000 has been lost by City of Kingston area electronic gaming machines players from July 2012 to January 2013.

As part of its successful application

to install the eight machines, the Mel-bourne Racing Club pledged to donate $10,000 annually to community caus-es in the Kingston area, in addition to the mandatory 8.33 per cent of gaming machines revenue payable to the state government’s Community Support Fund.

MRC Investments CEO Simon Gardner also advised the VCGLR that the hotel would build two community rooms at the venue, costing $150,000, that would be made available free to community groups as a priority be-tween 9am and 5pm, Monday to Fri-day.

Maureen Lim does not believe the community funding alleviates the so-cial impact of problem gambling.

“We have got to stop relying on gambling to pay our way,” she said. “It may not be illegal but it is immoral.”

Cr Eden agreed the acceptance of the annual $10,000 community fund-ing payment sets a dangerous prec-edent.

“It sends a message that the com-munity can be paid off,” Cr Eden said.

The Melbourne Racing Club de-clined to comment when contacted by The News, claiming it would be inappropriate to do so pending a fi nal deadline of 19 March, at the time of publication, for Kingston Council to have the option to appeal the VCGLR ruling.

By Neil WalkerSLOW internet speeds are causing commercial headaches for Kingston area businesses.

A Kingston Council survey has re-vealed suffering major disruptions to business due to internet unreliability in Braeside’s Woodlands Industrial Estate.

Council is campaigning to have key Kingston business precincts, including Woodlands, prioritised during the initial rollout of the National Broadband Net-work.

Mayor Ron Brownlees said Wood-lands has many companies dealing with global customers, making fast internet connections an essential business tool.

“Initial survey responses are indicat-ing major issues in the Woodlands in-dustrial precinct with some businesses looking to relocate due to the lack of broadband services. This is simply not good enough and will mean businesses take key employment opportunities away from Kingston,” he said.

Many businesses have resorted to in-stalling expensive satellite equipment and ad hoc ADSL services in an attempt to feed their need for internet speed.

Southern Cross Compressors market-ing and IT offi cer Ben Hall is one of many businesspeople voicing his frus-tration at slow internet services in the area.

“It’s driving us nuts,” he said. “The internet speed is OK in the morning but slows by the afternoon. Telstra advised us the system becomes overloaded.”

Southern Cross Compressors sources equipment that compresses air vital to the performance of heavy industrial ma-chines.

Mr Hall said internet speeds became so slow at times that on-road sales staff are unable to access the company’s on-line system.

The company, which has been in Braeside for 17 years, is planning to move to Dandenong South or Keysbor-ough, with a lack of acceptable internet service one of the reasons for the move.

“The internet connection drops out several times a day,” Mr Hall said.

It is a similar scenario at nearby wrap-ping designer and manufacturer The Wrapping Paper Company. The com-pany uses an ADSL service with a wire-less 3G modem “back up” but struggles to achieve online download speeds of four megabits a second. The NBN will provide download speeds of up to 80 megabits a second.

The Wrapping Company CEO Harry Dam said: “We’re an online sales busi-ness – our income is derived online.”

“It’s vital to be able to communicate with our website and, more importantly, the internet is used as part of our manu-facturing process.

“We want to be able to offer live on-line training in the use of our products to our business clients, but it’s impos-sible with the slow internet speeds we suffer.”

Professional photography business Nulab uses “state of the art technology” at its Braeside laboratory with director Michael Warshall unhappy at the im-pact slow internet speeds and dropouts are having on business.

Nulab has 15 ADSL lines at its prem-ises but the distance from the Mordial-loc exchange and the absence of reli-able, quick broadband services in the

area means it sometimes takes hours to download a single job order from a cli-ent.

“This is making us less competi-tive,” Mr Warshall said. “It’s holding us back.”

The NBN project has become mired in controversy amid political bickering between the federal government and the opposition over the initial cost of the $43 billion rollout. The federal govern-ment favours connecting the network directly to premises, while the opposi-tion argues a less expensive option con-necting the network to local exchanges is suffi cient.

NBN Co spokesperson Rhonda Griffi n advised The News: “We understand the need for high speed broadband and that many homes and businesses are looking forward to the NBN rollout. We have to plan on the basis of the availability of infrastructure from Telstra – the exchanges and dark fi bre links that allow us to build our fi bre nodes and connect them to the Points of Interconnect.”

We prioritised growth corridors that are likely to contain high numbers of Greenfi elds sites so that we could, as effi ciently as possible, execute on

the new Greenfi elds policy, and we prioritised links to support our fi xed wireless and satellite network so that we can bring high-speed broadband to rural Australia as fast as possible,” Ms Griffi n said.

“We used optimisation software as part of this process to develop the rollout sequence. Though there are sites due to start construction in the area, Braeside is not within the current rollout schedule which runs to June 2015. We expect to announce a further 12-month of rollout information taking our plans to June 2016 in the near future.”

Donna Bauer MLAMember for Carrum

Glen St Reserve in Aspendale will receive $71,875 in funding, as part of the Victorian Government’s Community Facility Funding Program. The funding will be used to install sports field lighting at the Glen St Reserve, which will provide the Edithvale Aspendale Junior Football Club with a much needed training venue for its 16 teams. Sport and recreation clubs in Carrum are vital to our community, and I am committed to investing in sports facilities that bring even more benefits to the community, encouraging people to get together and get more active, more often in Carrum.Three extra school crossing supervisor subsidies will be funded in Kingston for 2013-14. Funding for the School Crossing Supervisor Subsidy Scheme has increased to $10.462 million next financial year, up from $9.7 million in 2012-13. The Kingston City Council has been allocated funding for 65 supervisor subsidies. This is a total funding increase of $18,000. Three extra subsidies have also been announced for Frankston Council, with a funding increase of $14,000. Improving safety around school zones is so important, particularly considering children are our most vulnerable road users.The Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands Discovery Centre will now be open to the public every Sunday. I have raised concerns regarding the limited opening hours of the Discovery Centre, on numerous occasions, and I’m delighted Melbourne Water has now extended the opening hours. Hundreds of students have participated in Melbourne Water’s hands-on sessions about the flora and fauna of the wetlands including the 7,000 birds that make the Ramsar protected wetlands home. The centre’s latest feature, an interactive display, allows visitors to zoom into the wetlands through a high resolution camera, offering a detailed view of the birdlife. An asset to the Carrum community, I’m thrilled that residents will be able to enjoy the centre on a weekly basis.A fortnight ago Ted Baillieu resigned as parliamentary leader of the Liberal Party in his role as Premier of Victoria. Ted was elected as leader of the Party in 2006 and led the Party to an election win in 2010. Denis Napthine is now the 47th Premier of Victoria. As a former Leader of the Party, key Minister in the Kennett Government and for the last two years, the Minister for Racing, Ports, Regional Cities and Major Projects, Premier Napthine has demonstrated an ability to deliver for all Victorians. I look forward to working with Premier Napthine to ensure we continue to strengthen the Victorian economy and build our future.If you would like to register for my monthly e-newsletter please email me at [email protected] or call my office on 9772 4544.

MORDIALLOC Life Saving Club fi nished second overall at the 2013 Victorian Lifesaving Championships contested at Anglesea Surf Lifesaving Club over the long weekend of 9-10 March.

Host club Anglesea capitalised on its home surf advantage to secure victory with 440 points overall. Mordialloc fi nished in second place on 336 just ahead of Half Moon Bay SLSC, on 334 points.

Life Saving Victoria’s Coordinator of Sport Events, Tom Mitchell was im-pressed with the high level of athleti-cism and performance from bayside clubs.

“The bayside clubs were a real stand out and showed the surf coast clubs they meant business.

“Competitors from Mordialloc em-braced the chance to battle with the best from across the state to put their lifesaving skills to the test.”

Mordialloc Lifesaving Club presi-dent Grant Rattenbury hailed the club’s performance as “fantastic”.

“It was a real group effort,” he said. The club bettered its fi fth place fi n-

ish at the 2011 Victorian Lifesaving Championships.

Almost 1000 athletes from 35 club-sacross Victoria registered to compete in Life Saving Victoria’s pinnacle event of the year, the fi nal state carni-val for the 2012-13 season.

Emily Carly dominated on the sand winning both the Open and Under-17s women’s beach fl ags and beach sprint,

events, along with Jake Kelly who won the Under-15s Men’s beach fl ags and beach sprint contests.

“All events were highly contested and competition was both fun and fi erce, and conducted in the high-est standard of sportsmanship,” Mr Mitchell said.

Blue skies and perfect surf only increased the enthusiasm amongst spectators, with family, friends and supporters turning out in droves, to be part of the fi nal state carnival for the season.

Over 1600 young athletes will de-scend on Lorne SLSC for the 2013 Victorian Junior Lifesaving Champi-onships on 23 and 24 March.

“It’s the last junior competition of the season and there’s always a mas-sive turnout,” Mr Mitchell said.

“The championships provide a fan-tastic reward for our nippers after a summer of surf education and training sessions, with everyone keen to fi nish the season with a great result and have a lot of fun.

“These competitions are a great way to keep our members enthusiastic about lifesaving and help to really de-velop the young lifesavers that will be patrolling our beaches in the future.”

OPINIONBy Jim KerinA MELBOURNE City Council report states that each year up to three billion pieces of litter (about 2000 to 3000 tonnes) are washed into Melbourne’s waterways through stormwater drains.

The research shows the source of most litter in stormwater comes from shopping centres and strips, markets, on-street col-lections, tips and recycling depots.

A number of major streams feed the lower Yarra River. Inclusive of the Yarra, they drain Melbourne’s suburban north, northwest and east, and include Mariby-rnong and Plenty rivers and Merri, Dare-bin and Gardiners creeks.

The streams directly connect to the major underground drains beneath streets and commercial precincts of the north and east to Port Phillip’s central and southern beaches. The main drains and beds and banks of creeks and rivers are managed by Melbourne Water.

Once this litter leaves the Yarra, it’s carried by Port Phillip’s predominant clockwise currents south to beaches in the municipalities of Bayside, Kingston, Frankston and the Mornington Penin-sula.

How far it carries is determined by the amount of rain in the Yarra catchment, tidal heights in the Yarra and the strength and duration of northerly winds.

Rivers of garbage can be seen in Port Phillip after signifi cant rain events.

Each year the four councils spend hun-dreds of thousands of dollars collecting drift litter from their beaches.

The mechanical clean-up removes all material from beaches including natu-

rally deposited vegetable material. This impairs a beach’s natural ability to pro-tect itself from erosion. Additionally, it doesn’t collect the trash that is blown into areas inaccessible to beach cleaning machines.

Trash identifi able as originating from the lower Yarra catchment has been found at Brighton and as far south as Blairgowrie.

On Sunday, Clean Up Australia Day,

hundreds of residents will again turn out to pick up trash that should have been stopped by municipalities to their north and Melbourne Water.

The cost of retrieving this rubbish has been shifted to the municipalities in the south as well as volunteers who walk the beach frequently or who take part in Clean Up Australia Day.

Much of this litter can be identifi ed as originating in the cities of Melbourne,

Yarra, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Bo-roondara and Port Phillip.

The impact of litter on Port Philip’s wildlife is not well known, but it is known that seabirds and fi sh eat plastic rubbish that mimics their food.

Large amounts of plastic detritus can be seen at Seaford Beach and other dune systems. Cyclical erosion releases this trapped material, much of which is resist-ant to ultraviolet degradation. It breaks

into smaller pieces as it is “milled” on the sand by breaking waves.

Bayside, Kingston, Frankston, Mor n-ing ton Peninsula and Dandenong coun-cils have all fi tted high-performance centrifugal litter traps to problem drains.

The traps remove cigarette butts, sy-ringes and particulates smaller than a match head.

But the crucial question is: why don’t the northern Port Phillip and Yarra River municipalities, including the City of Melbourne as well as Melbourne Water, use litter traps to keep their rubbish off our beaches?

The answer is the cost of servicing the traps. It’s cheaper to “educate” than pro-vide expensive “end-of-pipe” solutions, meaning it’s cheaper for central and southern Port Phillip councils and their ratepayers to collect litter than stop it at its source.

After people have done their bit on Clean Up Australia Day, they might spend a moment venting their displeas-ure at Environment Minister Ryan Smith, Melbourne’s Lord Mayor Ro bert Doyle, Melbourne Water chairman Paul Clark and the Victorian Litter Action Al-liance whose deliberations are overseen by Sustainability Victoria and whose membership includes the Packaging Stewardship Forum that is against con-tainer deposit regulation. Jim Kerin is a broadcaster and writer on environment topics, and a former director of the Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation.

By Stuart McCulloughAIR-conditioning is bad. It devours electricity like Augustus Gloop would an all-you-can-eat buffet and is help-ing turn this planet into some kind of giant sultana. Short of concreting a national park or strapping gelignite to penguins, it’s possibly the worst thing you can do for the environment. It’s for this reason we have decided not to have air-conditioning in our home. While we often suffer a shortage of cool air, we have, instead, a near end-less supply of an air of superiority, of which we make splendid use.

Our decision to forsake the benefi ts of air-conditioning is one I wholly support. Or, at least, one I support most of the time. But after a few days of hot weather, I am pretty much ready to abandon my principles like a cruise-liner captain would his up-turned ves-sel if it means I can have a decent night’s sleep. Frankly, at this moment I would gladly cut a hole in the ozone with a plastic fork or mow down the entire Amazon in exchange for a little shut-eye.

I love autumn. It is, I think, my fa-vourite season of all, with the possible exception of season seven of The West Wing. I love the way the leaves begin to rust before tumbling to the ground, the chill of the morning air and how the weather invites you to stay in-doors and pick up a book. But this year autumn’s performance has been far from ideal. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that autumn is letting itself and everybody else down by not being nearly autumn enough. By now, I should have been able to break out the turtleneck a couple of times and

my umbrella should have sipped the seasonal rains on countless occasions. Not this year. Instead, we’re suffering through an Indian summer.

I’ve never really understood the expression Indian summer. Whether, much like the expressions Chinese whispers or Dutch oven such turns of phrase are generally considered inap-propriate, I don’t know. I hope not. I suppose I can see how a term like Chinese whispers might offend some people but, then again, George Mi-chael’s Carless Whispers is offensive too, although for different reasons. As best as I can make out, the expression Indian summer refers to unseasonably warm weather in Autumn. Apparently, it’s a phrase that’s been in use for a

couple of hundred years and refers to weather conditions that allowed American Indians to launch attacks on European settlements. Or, at least, that’s what the Internet tells me.

So far March has been a massive disappointment. When weather fore-casters started to claim that we’d be experiencing a week of temperatures above 30 degrees and that, at night, the degrees celsius would remain way over 20, I refused to believe my ears. Clearly, I thought, these forecasters are just trying to frighten us. But their terrifying prophesy of conditions that would be considered extreme even in some parts of hell proved all too ac-curate.

Our apartment is on the fi rst fl oor

and made of brick. This means that it remains cool for a day or two of hot weather. But then, much the like the aforementioned Dutch oven, it ab-sorbs heat like a sponge and nothing short of an exorcist will get it out. By day three of the heat wave, I had re-sorted to using cool washcloths in the hope of cooling down. By day four, I started placing items of clothing in the freezer. By day fi ve, my sanity was threatening to slip through my very sweaty fi ngers. Suddenly, working re-ally long hours seemed to be a great idea, because no one questions air- conditioning in an offi ce environment. I would arrive at work to be immedi-ately bathed in cool, cool air. It was then that I began to form a plan to set

up a small bed under my desk, much as George Costanza had once done on Seinfeld.

By day six, I had prepared a list of companies that will install air-condi-tioning at short notice. I feel the en-vironment has betrayed me and it is time to extract some measure of sweet revenge. I care little if it means that near-extinct plant species will now tumble into the history books or deli-cate ecosystems vanish like a magi-cian’s rabbit. I have been pushed too far and am willing to put my princi-ples, along with myself, in the deep freeze. Farewell arctic shelf, hello temperature control. I’m sure I’ll feel different in a day or two but right now I have been driven to madness – not in a hybrid eco-friendly vehicle but an old-style petrol-guzzling clunker that spews pollution into the atmosphere like a chain smoker.

So for those of you who have weak-ened and succumbed to the tempta-tions of air-conditioning, let me say this: a pox on your beautiful, comfort-able, climate-controlled houses, where a good night’s sleep is more than just a dream that you can’t have because you’re unable to enter anything resem-bling slumber but a gorgeous, chilled reality. Obviously, I despise the choice you’ve made. And I reserve the right to look down the length of my ex-tremely sweaty nose at you in con-tempt at your frailty. That said, clear out the spare room; because if this heat returns, I’m planning to turn up to your house, night bag in hand, plan-ning to stay a while.

TWENTY fi ve percent of the bones of your body are in your feet. If any of these bones are mis-aligned, your entire body could be affected.

You might not even feel that you have a foot problem but it can be causing knee problems, hip or low-back problems, shoulder and neck prob-lems and even headaches. Many doctors look to the mechanics of the foot for proper posture but there is so much more making up the foundation that we stand, walk and run on.

Wearing shoes that fi t your feet is essential in alleviating and preventing a variety of common foot problems. When choosing your shoes you should consider the type of activity you require them for, the surface and your need for support.

The Lakes Footwear store located within Pat-terson Allied Health offers a wide range of el-egant, fashionable and at the same time, comfort-able footwear. Their extensive range of footwear includes worldwide renowned brands such as Zi-era, Klouds, Rockport, Birkenstock, Walk-On, Dr Comfort, Propet, Vasyli & Orthoheel.

They also have a range of medically graded footwear for people with special needs such as extra width or extra depth footwear. At The Lakes Footwear store you will be professionally meas-ured and fi tted with the shoe that is right for you.

Their qualifi ed team of podiatrists (Kristi Boles, Ben Millerd, Renay Clarke, Josh Osborne, Paul Wilson, Luke Stirton & Erin Newman) are skilled to deal with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of medical and surgical condi-tions relating to your feet. They also offer gen-eral podiatry services, which includes general nail care, corns and callus, digital deformity, wart treatment, diabetes foot health, sports podiatry and orthotics.

For one week only (Friday 22 March to Thurs-day 28 March) The Lakes Footwear is offering up to 50 per cent off the price of all summer shoes. Don’t miss out! The Lakes Footwear store is located at shop 7 and 8 Harbour Plaza, Thompson Road, Patterson Lakes. Call 9776 1600.

IT IS diffi cult to think of a venue more perfect for a wedding than Trofeo Estate.

The background of the vines, the splendid surrounds of the café and the rustic style all help to produce an atmosphere of romance and celebration.

John and Kate Henshall recently became the fi rst couple to get married at the venue and their families and friends are still talking about the occasion.

“It really was a great night, we worked with the couple to deliver what they wanted for their families and friends and that’s what we want to do, tailor what we do to suit those who choose us for their big day – it’s an honour to be chosen, after all,” manager Lori Smith said.

Lori Smith and her team served the Henshall party canapés throughout the evening in the

warm, friendly, unpretentious manner that has already become the signature of the Whispering Vines Café since it opened last November.

The estate really came alive with guests able to take in the music on the lawn while others broke out into smaller parties on the various spaces and verandas that the Estate has to offer.

Chef Farid Rachedi provided great food. Rachedi takes pride in creating great food from local produce and can provide the food in formal style or fi nger food according what the couple want.

Many Henshall guests were surprised when told that this was the fi rst wedding held at the estate and were sure it certainly will not be the last.

Trofeo Estate is at 85 Harrisons Road, Dromana. Phone (03) 5981 8688.

PROVINCIALBy IT GullyPENINSULA Old Boys is poised to win its second pennant in the past three seasons against Sorrento in MPCA Provincial cricket after 125 overs were played last weekend.

In a rain effected fi rst day, POB won the toss and elected to bat.

Dylan O’Malley and Brandon Lawler got the Old Boys away to a good start before O’Malley was

dismissed for 31 with the score on 37.Lawler made a very slow 22 and lost

a couple of teammates in the process with Eivion Bowen and Glenn Prend-ergast removed cheaply.

When Lawler fi nally went, cour-tesy of CJ King, the Old Boys were in some strife at 4/71.

Wade Pelzer (15), Jon Forrest (26) and Trevor Johnston (59) gave the score some respectibility.

Johnston, together with number 11

Adam Gailitis (9no), added 53 for the fi nal wicket to get the Old Boys to 197 off 100.4 overs.

AJ King claimed two wickets for the Sharks, while David Smith was the pick of the Sorrento bowlers with four wickets.

Nick Davern and Anthony Black-well also snared a wicket each.

Batting the fi nal 25 overs of the af-ternoon, Sorrento crumbled to 4/38, including the runout of Blackwell and

the two openers, Mick Dunball and Jedd Falck. Zac Fillipone claimed 2/14 off nine overs while Adam Jones snared 1/18 off 10 for the Old Boys

Nick Jewell will resume at the crease for the Sharks this Saturday at Mornington’s Alexandra Park and is the only player standing in the way of a Peninsula Old Boys victory.

In the Provincial Seconds, Mt Mar-tha got the job done against Mt Eliza.

Mt Martha made 170 after number

nine batsman Brad Schruder top- scored with 40. Ben Gavine was the pick of the Mounties bowlers with 4/59.

In reply, Mt Eliza was bowled out for 107, despite 60 runs from the bat of Luke Marshall.

Schreuder capped-off a wonder-ful day snaring 5/28 from 15 overs. He clean bowled Marshall and Matt O’Brien and had three others caught behind.

Old Boys poised for another pennantOld Boys poised for another pennant

DISTRICTBy IT GullyLANGWARRIN avenged its past two grand fi nal losses with a dominant performance against Somerville in the District grand fi nal at Pines last week-end.

The Kangas went into the match having lost the past two grand fi nals against Hastings and Mt Eliza.

Without question, all of the pressure was on Langwarrin, given it was the best side all year and was coming-off previous disappointments.

For Somerville, as skipper Andrew West said, “every match over the past two months has been a grand fi nal”. They were accustomed to the pressure.

The Kangas had some wiser heads in the team with the inclusion of coach Mark Cooper, spin king Dwayne Doig and club legend Danny Weare. It ap-peared to be the ingredient that the side had been missing.

Langwarrin bowled fi rst at Eric Bell Reserve and the Eagles got away to a good start, being 0/40 at one stage early in the match.

However, as the rain threatened, Doig and opening quick Ben Johnson snared four wickets to have the Eagles in some strife at 4/58.

The dangerous Keith Burdett and Ben Delaney were back in the shed.

Rain eventually stopped play mid-afternoon on the Saturday.

Play start at noon on Sunday and

things went from bad to worse for the Eagles.

Wickets fell quickly, courtesy of Johnson, who was crowned man of the man after fi nishing with fi gures of 5/20 from eight overs.

Aaron Kaddatz helped the score past 100 for the Eagles after some big hit-ting. However, 111 was never going to be enough after batting just 58 overs.

The Kangas started the chase rea-sonably well, although it lost Simon McEvoy for 10.

David Ross joined Mark Cooper at the crease and the pair got the score close to 100 before Cooper was dis-missed for 37.

Weare then joined Ross and the pair took the score to 116 before the Somerville leaders gathered to discuss the future of the match.

Eventually, with Ross on 57 and Weare on eight and Langwarrin 2/116, the Eagles conceded the match.

It was justice for the Kangas, who were relegated to District after being beaten by Somerville in the fi nal round four seasons ago. Danny Weare retired after that match. He returned four sea-sons later to help steer his club to vic-tory and back to Provincial ranks.

Weare, along with Mal Coutts and Simon McEvoy, have played together in the club’s past four First XI fl ags.

Langwarrin’s Second XI also won the premiership, beating Delacombe Park by 182 runs. Jarrod Coad scored

Revenge is so sweet for LangwarrinRevenge is so sweet for Langwarrin

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT GullySEAFORD Tigers is on the verge of causing a massive upset against Red Hill in the Sub District Grand Final.

Like the Provincial and District grand fi nals, this match too at Dromana Reserve was ham-pered by the rain.

The Hillmen won the toss and naturally batted, losing its fi rst two wickets before the score had reached 40.

Skipper Simon Dart batted at three and top- scored with 50. However, the rate in which the runs came was not overly quick.

Dart had some support in Matt Merifi eld (29) and Nick Esipoff, as he has done so many times in his career, made a solid contribution at the end of the innings with 25.

Owen McKillop (17) and Andrew Brown (18) also got starts for the Hillmen.

Red Hill made 197 in 84.5 overs.

League medal winner Corey Hand claimed four wickets for the Tigers, while Tom Burgdorf also picked-up four wickets.

In reply on Sunday, the Tigers managed to get within 34 runs of victory with six wickets in hand.

Dale O’Neil left the arena when the score was one, courtesy of a slips catch to Andrew Brown off the bowling of Ross Corfi eld.

However, the Tigers dug deep at that point.Gavin Whyte made 49, Mark Carroll hit 30

and Dave James helped himself to 29 to push the score to 123 for the loss of four wickets.

Corey Hand and Ash Mills were both not out 18 when stumps were drawn late on Sunday.

Corfi eld had claimed 2/27 and Dart and Glenn Collett one wicket each.

With just 34 needed for victory, the game will be over before lunch this Saturday, the Tigers heading for District ranks, while the Hillmen let yet another opportunity slip.

Langwarrin, Frankston Pines, Sea-ford United and Baxter are in Group A while Mornington, Cranbourne, Peninsula Strikers and Skye United are in Group B.

The fi rst three rounds will consist of 20-minute halves with a 10-minute half-time break.

The fi nal is scheduled for 3.30pm and will be contested over two 30-minute halves.

The tournament starts at 10am and all teams are expected to be at the

venue for 9.15am to access the change rooms and conduct pre-match warm-ups.

Stephen William Wallace was 54 when he died on 19 July 2011. He was a former Langwarrin player, coach, president, life member, club council representative and Bayside League referee.

“Big Wal”, as he was affectionately known, strode the soccer stage on the peninsula with aplomb for three decades.

He arrived in Australia from Rathcoole in Newtonabbey in Northern Ireland in the early 1980s. His brother-in-law Eddie Donald introduced him to Langwarrin Soccer Club. It was the start of a relationship between Wallace and the club that quickly turned into an obsession.

Wallace was an inaugural member of a council liaison committee formed a few years ago to represent every soccer club in Frankston City. He could have been excused for being parochial by simply concentrating on promoting his own club’s ambition

but Wallace saw the big picture and understood the power of collective bargaining.

The liaison committee played a pivotal role in some serious council and state government money being approved for ground and pavilion improvements throughout the area, none more so than the $1.2 million grant given to Baxter Soccer Club that transformed its old pavilion into impressive clubrooms.

Wallace also was co-founder of the Bayside sub-junior leagues along with Baxter president Colin Nicholson.

“Overall it’s all about getting the local clubs together and just participating in the name of a man that meant so much to the peninsula soccer leagues,” Wallace’s daughter Tanya said.

“We plan to run the cup every year at about the same time and hope the local clubs will continue to participate and show their support.

“The response we have received for the inaugural event is really encouraging and we want to thank all

the clubs for taking part. It means a lot to us.”

Meanwhile, local clubs start their league season on Saturday 6 April and the opening round of matches will be previewed in the next edition.

There has been a major league restructure during the off-season that has resulted in the Provisional Leagues being scrapped. There is now one State League One, two State League Two divisions (southeast and northwest), two State League Three divisions (southeast and northwest), four State League Four divisions (south, north, east and west) and four State League Five divisions (south, north, east and west).

The revamp has seen Seaford United and Skye United placed in State League Four South and Baxter in State League Five South. All four champions in State League Four will gain automatic promotion to State League Three. The runners-up will feature in play-offs involving the tenth-placed teams in both State League Three divisions.

A fitting finale for Black CaviarA fitting finale for Black Caviar

THE William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley is a perfect fi t for Black Caviar in the fi nal days of her amazing racing career.

As well as racing for the $400,000 prize money before a crowd of 30,000 or so Black Caviar will have the benefi t of galloping on the Valley’s Strathy surface.

Over the years since its installation in 1995 the Strathy has been renowned as a forgiving surface.

This will help ease the stress and strain on Black Caviar’s delicate forelegs as she progresses towards farewell appearances in Sydney and possibly Brisbane.

The super star has already demonstrated her liking for the surface with fi ve of her 23 wins being at the Valley.

These have been in the 2011 William Reid Stakes and two runnings of the Moor Stakes and Australia Stakes.

And her last race in Melbourne before her adoring fans should certainly bring up yet another victory.

The atmosphere surrounding Black Caviar will be intensifi ed as she fi nishes off the race before the packed

stands which almost encroach onto the racecourse at the Valley.

Judging by her record-breaking win in the Lightning Stakes the champion is certainly as good as ever despite her six years.

Interestingly, this time her main opposition is expected to come from two interstaters - Perth’s Luckygray and Brisbane’s Spirit Of Boom.

The winner of 12 races Luckygray has won twice at the elite level while Spirit Of Boom has been placed in two Group 1 sprints so they have certainly proven their ability.

THE trend towards importing stayers from the Northern Hemisphere received another recommendation when Jet Away won the $150,000 Golden Mile at Bendigo on Saturday.

The six-year-old, trained by David Hayes, was making his Australian debut and was most impressive in the way he cruised by his rivals in the fi nal stages.

Jet Away’s victory follows the success of Green Moon in last year’s Melbourne Cup, while other imports such as December Draw, Fiorente, Glass Harmonium, Lucas Cranach, Manighar, Mawingo, Mourayan, Our

Kingdom Of Fife and 2013 Melbourne Cup favourite Puisance Du Lune have also made their presence felt.

Jet Away entered the Hayes stable with some notable performances behind him. Among them was a second to Hunters Light in the Group 3 Lancaster Stakes (2000m) at Haydock Park and a victory over Melbourne Cup runner-up Fiorente in a listed race at Goodwood.

The effort behind Hunters Light has subsequently been enhanced.

Hunters Light went on to win a Group 1 in Italy and after consecutive win in Dubai he is now one of the favourites for the $10m Dubai World Cup on 30 March.

On that basis the plan Hayes has set Jet Away for this year’s Caulfi eld Cup (2400m) seems to be based on a solid foundation.

Hayes also has feature race ambitions for the lightly-raced three-year-old Gerontius, who was fourth in the Alister Clark Stakes at Moonee Valley.

He suffered interference in running and his effort didn’t dampen the South Australian Derby hopes he has for the gelding.

Philippi, who is trained at Cranbourne by Michael Kent, fi nished powerfully for second in the Alister Clark and is also headed for the Derby at Morphettville.

Like Gerontius, Philippi is lightly raced with his six starts yielding three wins. All along he has indicated that the further he goes the better he will be and 2500m Derby distance will suit him ideally.

Leading Peninsula identity Jonathan Munz appears to have a coming winner in Kincaple Chief, a brother to the handy stayer Kincaple.

Kincaple Chief, who is prepared at Flemington by David Hayes, came from last to fi nish fi fth over 1200m at Moonee Valley at his debut. Taking a line through that run Hayes should be able to fi nd a suitable race over a longer distance in the near future.

Another coming winner is looming in the Mark Kavanagh-trained Sweetener.

A former smart juvenile the four-year-old mare has met with traffi c problems at its two starts back from a break and should pick up a race over the Easter weekend.

Former South Australian Go The Knuckle is ready to win judging on his barnstorming second at Moonee Valley last Friday. A Group 2 winner when trained in Adelaide, Go The Knuckle was having his fi fth start for the astute Robert Smerdon stable and will no doubt be placed to advantage in the weeks ahead.

Best: Go The Knuckle
