By Neil WalkerBEACHGOERS will soon be banned from drinking beer, wine or spirits on Carrum beach after Kingston council-lors voted to enforce a new alcohol-free zone along the Carrum foreshore.
Police had asked Kingston council to consider extending an area along the Carrum foreshore where the pos-session and consumption of alcohol
would be banned, due to an increase in alcohol-related anti-social behaviour and assaults along the foreshore area.
The all-day ban will also apply to ar-eas surrounding the Carrum shopping centre and railway station.
Chelsea Senior Sergeant Chris James said Kingston police had worked with council to request the alcohol-free zone be implemented so offi cers could
deal with youths causing trouble on the beach. “The problem had been displaced since we were enforcing an alcohol ban on Chelsea beach; trouble-makers moved on to Carrum,” Snr Sgt James said.
“We see this as a positive for the community and hopefully the alcho-hol-free zone will be up and running for the start of summer in early De-
cember.” Councillors decided to back the ban but also agreed to investigate whether there was suffi cient signage alerting beachgoers to alcohol-free zones.
Councillor David Eden said it was important to have highly visible signs in place to alert beachgoers to the new anti-drinking laws when they came into effect later this year, since many
would be unaware of the booze ban at Carrum as it was not in place at all Kingston beaches.
“It would be unfair if council fi ned people for doing something that they assume is fi ne,” Cr Eden said. “It’s only fair that we do signal to them where it [the ban] is, and we put up suffi cient signage.”

Parkdale students’mad dancePARKDALE Secondary College held its fi rst MADance concert recently at the school’s new performing arts theatre.
The event gave 30 dancers from all year levels the opportu-nity to demonstrate their dancing skills during choreographed solo and group performances.
Performing arts for dance and drama teacher Lisa Petty said the MADance concert would be used as a platform for Parkdale Secondary’s new Enhanced Arts Program in Dance starting next year.
“There will be extra dance classes and a series of residences by professional choreographers to teach students,” Ms Petty said.
The classes will encourage stu-dents to consider a future career in dance, either as a professional dancer, choreographer or dance physio.
“The classes are also benefi cial for mental health and well-be-ing,” Ms Petty said.
The school’s new multi-mil-lion-dollar art theatre was jointed funded by the City of Kingston and the state government.

RECENT surveys by Birdlife Austral-ia show an abundance of birdlife has taken up residence at the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands, including some en-dangered birds rarely seen in the area.
Birdlife Australia project manager Andrew Silcocks said surveys showed more than double the average number of black swans were inhabiting the wetlands in August, the highest num-ber since surveys began in 1990.
“The recent work to cut back the na-tive reed phragmites, remove weeds and good rainfall, is providing more open water and additional food for the birds, making viewing extra special for enthusiasts,” Mr Silcocks said.
“Over the past month, we have seen good numbers of purple swamphens, black-winged stilts and up to six spe-cies of ducks.
“Most excitingly are the two endan-gered species, Australasian bittern and magpie goose, seen regularly in the
Endangered birds return to wetlands
By Neil WalkerKINGSTON Council will write to state planning minister Matthew Guy to seek permission to exhibit a planning scheme amendment that applies a new Neighbourhood Residential Zone to many existing residential areas.
However, council is still keen to hear community feedback on the proposed planning changes before they are im-plemented in mid-2014.
The Neighbourhood Residential Zone is part of state government plan-ning reforms and restricts housing growth to protect “neighbourhood character”.
Its key features include restricting residential buildings to a maximum of two storeys and limiting subdivisions.
At a council meeting last week, Councillor Rosemary West unsuccess-
fully tried to have several areas due to be classifi ed as General Residential Zone – which allows modest housing growth – switched to the more restric-tive Neighbourhood Residential Zone.
The areas include Barkly St in Mor-dialloc, land in Parkdale between Queen St and Blanche Ave, and sec-tions of Mentone, known as the Men-tone triangle.
Cr West said residents in those areas had often battled against new develop-ments.
“Offi cers are proposing more devel-opment than is presently permissible in an area (south of Cheltenham) where residents have put up a brave and sus-tained resistance to overdevelopment,” Cr West said.
The majority of councillors rejected Cr West’s proposed amendments, but some conceded they may refl ect the
wishes of residents in the specifi ed ar-eas.
Cr John Ronke said it would become clear whether Cr West’s amendments had community support during the next stage of community consulta-tion on the new planning zones and he could not support them at short notice.
“I believe if those points do have merit they will be borne out through the next stage of the process and the community will tell us as well,” Cr Ronke said.
However, City of Kingston manager of city strategy Jonathan Guttmann cautioned it may not be possible to class the areas identifi ed by Cr West in the more restrictive Neighbourhood Residential Zone since this would not comply with the state government’s criteria for urban consolidation objec-tives. The state government proposed
policy specifi es areas close to public transport hubs, shopping centres and community centres should be zoned General Residential Zone.
Mayor Ron Brownlees expressed disappointment at the low level of community feedback to date on the planning zone changes. He said 150 submissions throughout the City of Kingston with just “60 to 70” people attending public consultation meetings in recent months was not a good result.
“We need to get this document (the planning scheme amendment) out for public comment and for discussion,” Cr Brownlees said.
“We need to do better - we have the time and the opportunity now we have a concrete framework to work on”.

KINGSTON residents are being asked to “think local” and support small business operators by getting behind the state’s inaugural Support Small Business Day.
On Saturday 19 October, Victorians will be encouraged to purchase from their local small businesses, including retailers, cafés, restaurants and other service providers.
Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford said the initiative aimed to raise aware-ness and boost trade for local busi-nesses.
“This initiative will encourage con-sumers to shop at local traders and showcase the vital role small business plays within our communities.”
Kingston business operators can vis-it www.supportsmallbusinessday.com.au to view the incentives available to encourage customers to visit.
The day is also being promoted on social media channels such as Face-book (facebook.com/supportsmall-businessday), Twitter (twitter.com/supportsmall), and Instagram (insta-gram.com/supportsmall).

area,” he said. Melbourne Water South East acting manager of waterways Da-vid Leggo said it had been possible to cut back phragmites this year to in-crease habitat and diversity for plants and animals, especially birds.
“Over the past few years, it’s been too wet to access the phragmites. However, this year we were able to gain access and have seen the ben-efi ts,” Mr Leggo said.
“While the natural wetlands are in good condition, native phragmites can encroach on bird habitat. Recently it’s been dry enough for us to access and cut them back.
“The slashed phragmites have been left onsite and heaped into mounds to create nesting habitat, which have been very successful,” he said.
Residents are encouraged to visit the viewing platform at the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands to see the fl ourish-ing birdlife over the spring months.

Kingston backs out of east-west link protestKINGSTON councillors decided not to follow the lead of several metro-politan councils, including neighbour-ing Glen Eira, which are offi cially op-posed to the Napthine government’s proposed east-west link tunnel.
Melbourne City, Yarra, Moreland, Moonee Valley, Darebin and Glen Eira councils are concerned the transport toll road project, estimated to cost $8 billion, will divert funds from trans-port projects elsewhere in Victoria.
At last Monday’s council meeting, Councillor Rosemary West proposed council write to the Premier and rel-evant state ministers to point out the east-west link would offer little ben-efi t to Kingston residents, and funds should be instead allocated to metro rail upgrades, including dangerous level crossings fi xes.
“It is important that we say to state government that our priorities matter,” Cr West said.
Cr West noted the east-west link’s cost could rise to $30 billion due to
the requirement to add laneways to the Tullamarine and Eastern freeways.
Cr West said the issue was not politi-cal. Cr Paul Peulich disagreed.
He said the Cr West’s proposal was “purely political” and was effectively “an attack” on the Liberal state gov-ernment.
Cr Steve Staikos said it was “impor-tant that cash was spread around and Kingston gets its fair share”.
Cr Geoff Gledhill said it could be ar-gued Kingston residents often receive an indirect benefi t from infrastructure projects built outside the municipal-ity, such as the Mornington Peninsula freeway.
Crs West, Steve Staikos, David Eden and Tamara Barth voted that Kingston council should lodge its concerns with the state government but the proposal was narrowly defeated with Crs Peu-lich, Ron Brownlees, John Ronke, Tamsin Bearsley and Geoff Gledhill opposing that view.

By Neil Walker YOUTHS went on a vandalism ram-page in Chelsea Heights last Wednes-day night after police were called to break up a house party.
Police had responded to neigh-bours’ complaints about excessive noise from the party at Immerset Drive and turned up about 11pm to order up to 80 partygoers to leave the residential address.
Residents awoke on Thursday morning to discover a number of cars parked on neighbouring streets had been smashed after revellers left the Immerset Drive party.
Some residents at nearby Jabiru Drive said they had heard some noise on the street during the night but had been too scared to leave their homes.
One resident said he had ventured outside to tell the youths to move along but had been forced to retreat when a bottle was thrown at him.
Police advised eight vehicles had been damaged during the vandalism spree, including a caravan parked on Thames Promenade which had its windows smashed.
The damage to cars included dents, smashed side mirrors and broken windscreens.
Police could not confi rm claims the youths used baseball bats to damage the cars.
Police said the party was advertised on Facebook by teens without their parents’ consent and had quickly escalated out of control when gate-crashers arrived. After the party, a
teen boy was chased by youths to a female friend’s house in Thames Promenade. The friend’s father and his teenage daughter were assaulted while providing sanctuary to the pur-sued teen.
Detective senior constable Richard Carnegie told The News this week that no arrests have been made as yet.
“The offenders may think it was just a bit of youthful exuberance, but it was malicious criminal damage and assault and we are determined to hold them to account,” he said.
Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers.com.auRead one party host’s experience on page 5 about how another party re-cently got out of control.
POLICE are targeting drivers who ig-nore road work zone speed restrictions in a state-wide crackdown dubbed Op-eration Nickel starting this month.
Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said there was a tendency for some motorists to ignore posted speed limits when travel-ling through restricted road work zones.
He said the operation aimed to make sure people employed to work in road side construction zones had a
safe place to work. “People working in these zones have been identifi ed as some of our most vulnerable road us-ers and Victoria Police is committed to ensuring their safety,” Mr Hill said.
“The State Highway Patrol will be enforcing speed limits in all road work zones and other high-risk areas as part of a state-wide focus on speed en-forcement. If you speed through these zones, it is highly likely you will be detected and you will be fi ned.”

By Stephen Taylor“GOD they’re angry,’’ I thought. “They’re out to get us.’’
It was a shock to realise I had put myself in a position where I feared a beating or worse, just for helping out at a friend’s 16th birthday party.
But now, with a taunting gang apparently determined to kick down the front gate and assault us, there wasn’t much I could do about it.
The host’s father, another dad and I were shocked by the abuse, threats and physical intimidation as we fought grimly to hold the front gate shut.
Wave after wave of assaults proved wearying and frightening: they’d rush the gate, force it open with kicks and brute strength and threaten to storm back in, while our undermanned force fought valiantly to hold the line without doing anything to further infl ame a tense situation.
It felt as though we were walking on eggshells, hoping they wouldn’t break.
One swore at me, adding “You’re gonna die”.
“I’ve been in jail and I’m gonna stab you,’’ joined in another. “Come out here and fi ght; you’re gutless.’’
These big, tough 16 to 18-year-olds were high on something, angry as hell and bent on violence. We three dads were their targets.
They didn’t just want to get back into the party, they wanted to bash us.
The smallest and most dangerous was a foul-mouthed girl. She made several attempts to scale the gate, which prompted the others to try rushing through.
That poor gate proved to be our
Fun turns to fear with strangers at the gateFun turns to fear with strangers at the gateSafe partyingSafe partyingIF having a party at home: Register the party with your local police at least one week in advance. Insist that the party is invitation only to reduce the risk of gatecrashers. Ask your guests not to spread the word to others via texts or the internet. Indicate clearly on the invitation whether the party is alcohol-free or if alcohol is provided or is BYO. State fi rmly that illegal drugs are not welcome. Ask parents of party guests to call beforehand for more information. Ask parents of guests to provide transport to and from the party. Secure all valuables. Have responsible adults on hand to monitor the party. Make sure the host (and thehost’s parents and other responsible adults) remain sober so any problems can be dealt with quickly and safely. Consider hiring a security guard or guards. Serve plenty of food. Be vigilant if you have a swimming pool – intoxicated guests could fall in. Turn the music down after midnight. Have a plan of action if a guest becomes drunk or ill. Ask gatecrashers to leave immediately or threaten that the police will be called. Follow through with your threats. Call the police if you think a situation is beyond your control.
saviour. It was shaken and rocked, then kicked open, which broke the latch, while three dads cowering behind it were praying for the police to arrive.
Gatecrashing is nothing new – I’ve probably been a gatecrasher myself – but it’s always a shock to fi nd people you don’t know and would never invite to your party acting like they own the place, bent on causing damage and starting fi ghts.
The young host and friends had been having a great time in the suitably dim and crowded backyard. Professional dance music and strobe lighting set the scene and young bodies swayed to the beat. The atmosphere was charged. This was to be a great night.
The girls in their colourful minis
and high heels seemed oblivious to the chilly night air, while the boys gathered, cool and coiffed, avoiding direct visual contact but eyeing them off just the same. The fl ash of phone cameras showed everyone wanted to remember the night.
But the insidious force began to make its presence felt. Jumping unseen over a side fence, the troublemakers nudged guests aside, making threats, taking the middle ground. The fun started to evaporate.
“Dad, there’s gatecrashers here. Help me get them out,’’ the young host called out.
He’d been punched.We ran to backyard “party central”
and, as he pointed them out, began
escorting the culprits to the gate one by one in a fi rm, no-nonsense manner. This was early days; we were in control – or so we thought.
“Get your hands off me,’’ I was told more than once as I marched my quota up the driveway to the street where the ever-growing gang gathered.
“Have we called the police?’’ I whispered to the host, who had registered the party the week before. “Yes, they’re on the way.” Being Saturday night they had plenty on their hands and it would be at least a 30-minute wait. Time enough for the effects of alcohol and drugs to kick in and the battle to begin at the front gate.
The three dads felt very much alone.

Booze banfor CarrumforeshoreContinued from Page 1
The alcohol-free zone will begin at the mouth of the Patterson River and extend inland from the northern boundary of the river up to 50 metres beyond the Nepean Highway road bridge, back along the southern boundary of the Patterson River and south along Station Street to Walkers Road. The zone then spreads west across the railway line to number 665 on the western side of the Nepean Hwy and west to the foreshore, including the vegetated and sand areas.
Cr Tamsin Bearsley said residents she had spoken to advised they generally sup-ported the alcohol ban but did not want it to impact on family days out at the beach, if a parent wanted to drink a little amount of alcohol while children played.
Cr Bearsley noted there are still beach areas elsewhere where alcohol can be con-sumed but it is probably not appropriate in the midst of activity centres.
“I think it would be good to get the com-munity feedback over summer and play it out in practice to see how many people are affected by this,” Cr Bearsley said.
The Carrum area will be the fi fth alco-hol-free zone along the 13 kilometres of foreshore in the City of Kingston. There are four existing alcohol-free zones in Mentone, Mordialloc, Aspendale/Edith-vale and Chelsea. Some areas are subject to a 24-hour ban, some have a 9pm until 7am restriction and others have a seasonal ban in the summer months from October to March.
Police, not council offi cers, enforce al-cohol bans in Kingston.
By Chris BrennanA “FEROCIOUS” wind storm de-scribed by experienced emergency services personnel as the most extreme in recent memory lashed Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs yesterday, caus-ing extensive damage.
Police, CFA and SES crews had one of their busiest days on record as wild winds, at times gusting at more than 140km/h, left a trail of destruction across the metropolitan region.
The SES received more than 1,000 calls for help after the strong north-westerly winds hit Melbourne about 11pm on Monday and continued to blow throughout the night, bringing down trees, branches and power lines onto roads, buildings and homes.
Chelsea SES commander Phil Wall said crews were working steadily through the day Tuesday to clear a backlog of more than 100 jobs across Kingston, including a number of large trees that had come down across roads and onto houses.
“I’ve been with the SES for more than ten years and I haven’t heard wind gusts like that ever before. It was just crazy out there,” Mr Wall said.
“Chelsea itself was very hard hit with many massive trees coming down, including Tarella Rd, Ran-dall Ave, Royal Ave, Argyle Ave and Broadway.
“Nepean Hwy also had problems, with trees blocking lanes at Bonbeach, Chelsea and Parkdale.
“As if downed trees weren’t enough of an obstacle, it was bin night across the Chelsea area and so all of the bins that had been neatly placed on nature strips were soon strewn over roads and
Ferocious winds lash city
footpaths and their contents, mixed with small branches, to create a mass of potential missiles. Add to this the local hard rubbish collection which soon became the hard rubbish retrieval exercise and you had the recipe for the perfect storm.”
In one of the most serious jobs at-tended by Chelsea SES crews, a large tree crashed onto a gas main, electicity lines and two cars at a home in Fourth Ave, Chelsea Heights.
“The regulator was completely smashed off and gas was hissing out, but our CFA collegues were quickly on site and were able to get the gas and electicity off,” Mr Wall said.
“It was a dangerous situation that could have easily turned nasty. We had gas leaking, power lines down and a massive tree to contend with.”

EARLY weekend walkers along the banks of the Patterson River may see large dragons cutting a swathe through the water.
Most Saturday mornings, colourful dragon boats are crewed by 20 paddlers who all have something in common: they are all women who have survived breast cancer survivors.
The Peninsula Dragonfl ys are part of the Dragons Abreast organisation and offer breast cancer survivors a
way to meet others who have shared similar experiences while haing fun exercising.
Peninsula Dragonfl ys president Julie Owen said the club helps women who may be readjusting into everyday life after their cancer treatment has ended.
“We’re the next step after a support group,” Ms Owen said. “Women join the team and reap the health benefi ts of regularly exercising without realising they’re doing it because they’re having
so much fun”. The club is based at Patterson Lakes Canoe Club at Carrum and is hosting a national paddle day on Saturday 12 October. Cancer carers including medical professionals are invited to visit the club and give dragon boat paddling a go.
Call Linda Papworth at Peninsula Dragonfl ys on 0400 530 837 for further details or email [email protected]
New members are always welcome.

Dragon boats keep cancer at bay
By Chris BrennanTHREE Kingston companies have been awarded grants worth more than $500,000 to enable them to purchase cutting-edge equipment under a state government program designed to promote growth, productivity and in-ternational competitiveness in manu-facturing businesses by stimulating investment in new technologies.
Form2000 Sheetmetal of Mordial-loc, a 19-year-old company specialis-ing in hi-tech sheet metal component manufacture, will receive $250,000 to purchase new equipment to enhance its competitiveness, Covercraft Digital of Cheltenham, a dye sublimation print-ing and fi nishing plant which produces soft signage advertising products, will get $143,000, while Braeside’s Al-fred Lewis Engineering, a specialist in in precision engineering solutions for more than 47 years, will receive a grant worth $126,000.
State member for Mordialloc Louise Wreford congratulated the companies on their efforts, which had generated numerous high-skilled jobs and put Kingston at the forefront of the state’s modern manufacturing sector.
“Form2000 are world class metal fabricators which supply the scien-tifi c instrument, medical equipment and electrical industries,” Ms Wreford said. “The company will use the grant money to purchase a fi bre optic laser welder with integrated six-axis robot, capable of welding common and semi-exotic metals.
“Covercraft will use the grant to help
purchase and install new digital fabric printing technology that is capable of digitising fi ne art quality graphics and printing onto a wide range of fabrics.
“Alfred Lewis plans to use the grant to purchase and install a PUMA 800 turning centre. This will enable it to supply larger components to the gas, industrial and mining sectors,”
“Manufacturing operations at Alfred Lewis run twenty hours a day, employ-ing more than twenty highly skilled programming, operators and support staff. It is committed to applying the best available CNC technology such as the use of state of the art multi-axis, multi-spindle CNC machines.”
Minister for Manufacturing David Hodgett said the three Kingston com-panies were among 20 high-tech busi-nesses across the state to be awarded a total of $3.4 million under the state government’s Investing in Manufac-turing Technology program .
“The projects supported under the third round of the IMT program repre-sent more than $15 million worth of in-vestment in new technology, processes and equipment,” he said. “The projects are expected to create at least 65 new jobs and transition 101 employees to higher value roles.
“These grants are an excellent exam-ple of how new technology is helping to improve production processes, develop new skills and take advantage of a range of innovative export opportunities.
Applications for IMT round four grants close 4 October. Details: www.business.vic.gov.au/imt.

New program to save the childrenNew program to save the childrenMEDICAL staff at Peninsula Health are being taught a new program designed to resuscitate children who have suffered a respiratory or cardiac arrest.
The RESUS4KIDS program is designed for health care workers attending to a child within 10 minutes of a collapse.
Peninsula Health is the fi rst Victorian health service to use the resuscitation program based on Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines.
The one-day course also teaches health professionals how to work together as a team.
The program has an e-learning module and a short, practical component.
“Children are not just little adults and therefore it is important for the safety and care of children that staff have access to good quality, evidence-
based and user-friendly achievable education,” paediatrics clinical director Dr Kathy McMahon said. “The e-learning component has been designed to be implemented in stages.
“You don’t have to do it all in one session. However, it must be completed before you attend the practical course.”
Observers came from Southern Health, The Alfred hospital, Barwon Health and Eastern Health.
Ready for the real thing: Frankston Hospital doctors undergoing training for the RESUS4KIDS program included Enoch Lee, Ramani Kone, Kathy McMahon, Cara Baillie and medical student Muhammad Bin Haji Adi.
FRANKSTON’S old tip in McClel-land Dve may be excavated to fi nd the body of 13-year-old Prue Bird who was murdered in 1992.
Last Monday, Supreme Court Jus-tice Elizabeth Curtain said the tip should be checked for the teen’s body.
Convicted killer Leslie Alfred Camilleri told police he dumped the body at the tip in 1992.
Homicide detectives took Camilleri to the site on 6 August after he fi nally offered to help fi nd her body.
Homicide Detective Senior Consta-ble Nathan Toey told the court police had been contacted by Camilleri in May offering to help fi nd Ms Bird’s body and requesting maps of the Frankston tip area from 1992.
Camilleri claimed he had snatched Ms Bird off the street outside her Glenroy home on 2 February 1992, and murdered her before driving to the Frankston tip.
Police said they would analyse soil from the area to see if it was used as a rubbish tip.
Justice Curtain had been planning to sentence Camilleri on Thursday but adjourned the case to 16 October to give police more time to investigate his claims.
Camilleri, 43, is serving two life sentences for raping and murdering Bega schoolgirls Lauren Barry and Nichole Collins in 1997.
Police alleged the motive for Ms Bird’s abduction and murder revolved around payback over police statements made against the men who bombed the Russell Street police building in 1986.
Ms Bird’s grandmother and her part-ner gave statements to police about the fatal bombing.
Teen’s body Teen’s body ‘in the tip’‘in the tip’

The rate stays - but will you be taking advantage of it?With the rate still historically low, the Reserve Bank have just announced their decision to keep the cash rate at 2.5% in their October board meeting. The decision to stay put this month was expected by a huge majority of economists, although some are still suggesting that there will be more cuts before the end of the year - perhaps as early as November. However, that’s also what many said about this month, so anything can happen. With the rate still this low you could be saving thousands by checking out what’s available to you

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 4 October 1913.MR M. Brody, of Frankston, had a rather startling experience on Friday last. He was unharnessing a young horse in the Pier Hotel yard, when the animal became frightened and made off. Mr Brody grabbed the reins, but the horse pulled him along till the trap struck an obstruction and overturned, striking Mr Brody. He was rather severely hurt, and was confi ned to his room for four or fi ve days, and was attended to by Dr Maxwell. We are pleased to state that he is about again, though he has to have the assistance of a stick.
***THE chaplain of the penitentiary in Alabama asked how many of the con-victs owed their position to the use of liquor, and out of 300 in the gaol, 281 rose to their feet to signify that drink was the cause of their downfall.
***THE Frankston Orchestra has made great strides under the conductorship of Mr Walter Jennings, and it is quite possible that the Choral and Orchestra will render the leading choruses from ‘Faust’ in the near future.
***AT the last meeting of the committee of the Frankston Choral Society it was pleasing to note that the hon. sec-retary drew attention to the increas-ing number of members. The Choral Society has now 40 members and the Orchestra 15 instrumentalists and it is expected that others will join.
***ON Tuesday next, October 7th, Mr R. M. Jennings, the well-known organ-
iser of the People’s Liberal Party will deliver an address in the Mechanics’ Hall, Somerville, at 8 p.m. Musical items will also be rendered, and an enjoyable and instructive evening is assured.
***FINALITY has at last been reached in connection with the agitation that has been going on for some time by Somerville residents for improved school accommodation. A commu-nication has been received from the Department stating that tenders for the removal and re-erection of the school will be called for next week.
The National Trustees Company is applying for probate in the will of Patrick Phelan, late of Cowes, Phillip Island, farmer, who died on 22nd ult., leaving estate valued at £3045, being reality £2214 and personalty £881, Testator bequeathed a legacy of £100 to the Roman Catholic archbishop towards the erection of a church at Cowes, and the residue to his neph-ews and nieces.
***AT a special meeting of the Morning-ton Loyal Celebration League, held in the Mechanics’ Institute on Monday evening last, it was unanimously decided to expend up to £12 in tickets for the school children’s trip to the Zoological Gardens, which takes place on Wednesday, 12th Novem-ber. Where there are more than two children in a family those tickets will be given free to all over that number up to 16 years of age.
***THE date for the lecture on “Fish Life”, to be given by Mr H. C. Dan-
nevig, Director of Fisheries, in the Mornington Mechanics’ Institute, has been fi xed for Thursday, 28rd October. Mr Dannevig is at present on a cruise, and is taking a number of views for the purpose of illustrat-ing his lecture, which will doubtless be most instructive and interesting. Major Campbell, who is making all arrangements, and also paying the expenses, deserves the best thanks of the community for his enterprise. The admission to the lecture is free.
***MR W. Schultz, of the Pier Hotel, Frankston, has just completed an addition to his establishment which will prove a great convenience to motorists and the travelling public generally. The now building con-sists of a commodious garage and stables, 60ft x 16ft, built of sand and cement blocks, the latter being made by himself. When completed there will be room for three motor cars, a buggy shed, and a noose box. In the space allotted to the motors a pit has been excavated, so that the person in charge of car can get underneath with ease to effect any necessary repairs.
***A COMPLIMENTARY social do for the Hastings footballers was held in the local hall on Friday, September 26th. A very enjoyable night’s danc-ing was spent, interspersed with songs by Misses Hodgins, Reid and Jones and Messrs F. A. Tubbs and J. Carmi-chael, which were much appreciated by all. Rev. C. Eva spoke in a very effi cient manner on the excellent way that the Blue and Whites had come to the top of the tree. At the start of the season we heard a lot about what
other clubs were going to do, but Hastings is still on top, and likely to stop there, too. Mr J. D. Hodgins (the President) responded on behalf of the footballers, and said that they did their best and all pulled together with excellent results.
***THE son of the local storekeeper, Willie Berry, whilst in charge of a horse and cart at the Military reserve met with a painful accident. The horse took fright at the noise of a mo-tor and bolted. The lad was thrown to the ground and had his arm broken.
***THE poultry lecture as announced to be given by Mr Rintoul, an expert at-tached to the Department of Agricul-ture, fell through owing to the lecturer not putting in an appearance. There was only a moderate attendance. The President of the Progress Association, Mr J. Archibald, however, proved equal to the occasion, and opened a discussion on poultry, and related reminiscences of an amusing char-acter. Others also contributed items on various matters appertaining to poultry keeping, and although disap-pointment was felt at the absence of Mr Rintoul, a pleasant social evening was enjoyed.
***LARGE quantities of eggs and poul-try are being used daily at the Mili-tary Camp here, and poultry keepers will fi nd a ready sale for their produce there in any quantities at top market rates. Very satisfactory progress is be-ing made at most of the poultry yards, and larger quantities of eggs are being despatched weekly from the district. At Mr C. W. Clarke’s Skye road,
hatching is now in full swing, and it is intended that 4000 more birds will be added to the fl ock this season. An immense quantity of eggs have been daily gathered for some time, the cross that Mr Clark introduced with last year’s hatching having fully come up to his expectations as early and prolifi c layers.
***MRS J. Clark, of Langwarrin, scored three fi rst prizes and one second at the recent Royal Show with Plymouth barred Rocks.
***A QUESTION arising out of the purchase of certain allotments of land at Frankston was argued in the Practice Court on Monday before Mr Justice Hood. The vendor was John William Thomas, of Scottish House, William Street, and the purchaser was Francis William Tatley, of Frankston. The complaint of the purchaser was that under the wording of the contract of sale he was not given the right of carriage way over a lane at the rear of the allotment. As the lane was shown on the subdivision plan produced at the sale, Tatley claimed that he should be given right of traffi c over it. His Honor held that the contract of sale must be obeyed. No doubt if the plan were exhibited at the sale it would form part of the contract, and ought to have been included in it; but to make that order now would mean rectifi ca-tion, and his Honor had no power under these proceedings to deal with such a matter. Mr Schutt (instructed by Mr John Martyn) appeared for the vendor; and Mr Macindoe (instructed by Messrs Blake and Riggall) for the purchaser.

By Stuart McCulloughIT’S here. After months of relentless, driving rain that has twice had me building my own ark, we have fi nally turned the corner. The scent of fresh-cut grass fi lls the air. The sun lifts its sleepy head above the horizon before you’ve opened your eyes. The sound of birds fi lls the garden. Yes, spring has well and truly arrived. For some it’s a time for cleaning and for taking stock, but I see it differently. Spring, in my view, is the season of romance. As I break out the shorts and long socks, it’s time to indulge in a remembrance of things past and recall the great, lost love affairs of my youth.
I still remember the fi rst time I kissed someone. Even now, it remains one of the key defi ning moments of my entire life. Without doubt, I was nervous. But she was older and, frankly, a great deal more experienced than I was and did not bat an eyelid. That, partly, was due to the way she was moulded. Her hair was the colour of straw and, keeping with the style of the time, she wore a blue, zip-up tracksuit top. Unlike most of the girls I knew, she also folded neatly away into a suitcase. We had only met that morning, but I had felt the connection instantly. It was only a matter of time before our lips met.
With my entire class watching on, I closed my eyes and leaned forward. She remained as still as a rock. Clearly, it would be up to me to take the initia-tive. As our lips connected, I felt a jolt of electricity rush through my body. Given that the carpet in our portable classroom was the cheapest that mon-ey could buy, this was not uncommon,
but I’d like to think that the magic of the moment was a contributing factor. I could hear my friends sniggering and making comments behind me, but I didn’t care.
They could mock me all the wanted, but I had found something real; some-thing that I knew would stand the test of time. Something beautiful. But be-fore I knew it, the moment over and I was left to stare longingly into her eyes.
In a reaction that I come to expect from all my subsequent romantic en-deavours, she did not utter a single word to me after our lips parted. With the taste of antiseptic still on my lips, I watched on in horror as she went right ahead and kissed one of my class-mates. Naturally, I was devastated.
Without a moment’s hesitation she had torn my heart from my chest like a ring-pull from a chocolate snack pack. I learned then that love can be cruel just as surely as it can be wonderful.
Over the years, some of the scars of that fateful day have healed and, from time to time, I wonder how she might be doing. Has she married? Is she still doing the same kind of work? Does she still fi t in the suitcase or, like the rest of us, has she stacked a little bit of weight over the years? Yes, these are just some of the questions I’d like to ask Resusci Annie – the girl who fi rst broke my heart.
She arrived at the grade 5 classroom to teach us the fi ner points of resuscita-tion, but she ended up teaching me so much more. Resusci Annie must have
had someone helping her, but I can’t for the life of me picture what she or he might have looked like. It’s fair to say that the moment they opened that suitcase and I glimpsed her blue track-suit and even bluer eyes, I was some-thing of a goner.
Perhaps it was the face. Rather than just a random bunch of features, Re-susci Annie was based on a real per-son. In the late 1880s, a young girl was dragged from the Seine River in Paris. The cause of her demise was a mystery and, as was the custom back then, a death mask was made. That the face of a young French girl who, herself, drowned is now used to teach people how to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is a sizable irony. Not that I knew all this when I met all
those years ago. I only knew that I was captivated.
Despite that fi rst, powerful encoun-ter, we haven’t kept in contact. It’s understandable, really, when you con-sider the way things ended between us. In an earlier age, that would sim-ply be that.
But now, thanks to the internet, it’s easier than ever to get back in touch. I could do things the old fashioned way, but I’m reluctant to call. Besides, un-less she’s changed, Resusci Annie was never much of a conversationalist, preferring instead to let her actions do the talking for her.
I checked Facebook but there was no sign of her. A search of the White Pages failed to turn up any trace. Per-haps it wasn’t meant to be. Sometimes the past should remain exactly that. But before I abandoned any hope of fi nding someone who played such a huge part of my life, I decided to Google her.
There she was. Unchanged by the years and still resplendent in her blue tracksuit, Resusci Annie (or, to use her full name, Laerdal Medical Resusci Anne CPR Training Infl atable Mani-kin) was available on eBay for $260. How the mighty have fallen.
It was diffi cult to see her there, pho-tographed both in and out of her trusty suitcase, counting down the hours be-fore highest bidder was declared.
It won’t be me. I prefer to remember as she was, back in the springtime of my youth.

Album of the Week: Crucible: The Songs of Hunters & Collectors 2CD - Various & Hunters & Collectors (Lib-eration)
By Gary Turner
AS an avid viewer of murder myster-ies I’m often confronted with dialogue along the lines of “God will punish” or “answering to God”.
I have no answers as to the antics of other people but I suspect (allowing for degree) we are all sinners and I’m cer-tain we are all hypocrites.
So if it’s true about God we all must face up to our Register of Bad Deeds, hoping credits are included as a form of balance.
I quite like the idea, a future type of thing, a rose garden with prickles, but the real plus (after spending my allot-ted time “in my room”) would be fi nd-ing some answers.
Such a lovely positive thought for spring.
And if not, blankety blank, a nobo-by’s nose knows sort of thing.
***I CAN convince myself to ignore the greed of bank shareholders by way of housing mortgages, credit cards and bank fees.
I can ignore the impossibility of rent-ers ever affording a deposit for a fi rst home and the ever widening wealth gap.
I can convince myself that all su-perannuation funds are safe, the real crooks being overseas in Greece, Indo-
nesia, Thailand and Egypt, anywhere other than Australia.
And if I stretch my average brain I convince myself that capitalism is in fact all about democracy and nothing to do with plutocracy.
***THE ancient Greeks, after examining human corpses, decided our brain was a cooling mechanism for our body and thought and emotions came from the heart.
Science might understand something about the brain but there is much we don’t know, and consciousness heads the list.
Science hasn’t been able to fi nd or prove the existence of this God in me but it does not mean it doesn’t exist.Can we predict future actions of the brain? Anyone married for more than a week knows it cannot, and any parent will tell you predicting the thoughts of children is impossible.
When a human being dies science fi nds a way to re-use the organs but I doubt it will ever fi nd a way to re-insert a brain, or a soul thankfully.
For the record my brain froze around the same time as hanky panky ended.
***MY support for the Labor Party began with a philosophical commitment to
social justice. Well, not quite; more like family infl uence to the point where I began to think for myself on reach-ing 60.
The problem is recognising this same commitment amidst the disunity with Labor’s leadership squabbles and “on the run” policies unconnected with social justice.
Presently Tanya Plibersek and Mark Dreyfus stand out for consistency but for the life of me I fail to see how La-bor’s policies on the boat people and single mothers lined up with social justice.
On the other hand the messages coming from the likes of arts minister George Brandis and his media friends (Andrew Bolt, Janet Albrechtsen) not to mention the IPA are further removed from my thinking.
Nothing a “nobody” can do other than wait, watch and hope for at least one inspirational leader rising to the top.
And then there’s the mess at the Collingwood Football Club.
Thank God for summer? Hah! No, thank God for Foreign Correspondent (ABC TV) for giving me perspective.
***INDIA has this traditional teaching method of rote learning producing
many thousands of graduates but in fact many of them unemployable in the real world.
I used the rote system to pass ac-countancy in the 60s, came out quali-fi ed but knew nothing of the reality for another fi ve years. An accounts clerk with a year’s experience knew twice more than I.
Sure, it helps pass exams, but teach-es very little.
The same applies to acting, as in learning a part.
Short term maybe for television in a small role, but even then it shows up. In becoming a full blown character, particularly on the stage, never. Rote learning initially may be of some use, but until you understand the meaning of what the words are saying you will proceed no further.
***BEAUTIFUL Rye cemetery (where I’m booked in) is running out of space, soon the excellent staff will no longer have a job, which is where FORCE (Friends of the Rye Cemetery) come into play.
Presently the Rye Primary kddies look after the children’s section and FORCE helps during school holidays but they need help now and into the future.
Help out at 9.30am until midday or before then if you get tired on Wednes-days (if it’s not raining) with gloves, a trowel and a sense of humour.

HUNTERS & Collectors became a huge hit with Melbourne audiences in the early 80s playing their unique brand of rhythmic music, evolving from the cult band, the Jetsonnes.
They signed to Mushroom Records in late 1981 and the following year re-leased the World of Stone EP.
Hunters & Collectors have an-nounced their fi rst tour since 1998, kicking off on the Australia Day long weekend in January 2014.
The tour news comes amid a burst of recent Hunters & Collectors activ-ity, including their performance at the AFL Grand Final, their special guest appearances at two Bruce Springs-teen concerts in Melbourne in Febru-ary, and the release of Crucible – The Songs Of Hunters & Collectors, a lovingly curated album featuring 15 stunning tribute cover versions from the likes of The Living End, Birds Of Tokyo, Neil Finn, Eddie Vedder and Paul Kelly accompanied by 15 origi-nal Hunters & Collectors songs (Lib-eration Music).
The album is a testament to the extraordinary Hunters & Collectors legacy, one that was built not only on their uniquely Australian songs and Mark Seymour’s razor sharp lyr-ics, but also on their commanding and powerful live performances. The album has been the impetus for the band’s reformation.
When they called it a day in 1998, Hunters & Collectors was a multi-platinum selling band, with fi ve top 10 albums boasting classic songs like Throw Your Arms Around Me, Talk-ing to a Stranger, Holy Grail, When the River Runs Dry, Do You See What and l See, Say Goodbye.
In 2005 the band was inducted by Peter Garrett into the ARIA Hall of Fame. In March 2009 the Sound Relief benefi t concert at the MCG brought them temporarily out of retirement, with a set that won rave reviews.
Mark Seymour has continued pur-suing a vibrant and successful solo career but he is currently looking forward to rejoining his former band mates Jack Howard, Michael Waters, Jeremy Smith, Doug Falconer, Barry Palmer and John Archer for their long-awaited reformation tour.
Hunters & Collectors will appear at
The Hill Winery in Geelong on Sat-urday 25 January, All Saints Estate in Rutherglen on Saturday 5 February and the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on Friday 11 April with support from The Panics.
Tickets for all shows are on sale on 11 October via Ticketmaster on 136 100.

***FILM producer Jerry Bruckheimer will go ahead with plans for a sequel to the 1986 movie Top Gun despite the death of the fi rst fi lm’s director, Tony Scott. Executives at Paramount Pictures appeared ready to shelve the movie out of respect for Scott’s legacy, but Bruckheimer has now renewed his promise to complete the sequel. Tom Cruise is keen to reprise his role as fi ghter pilot Maverick and the fi lm shooting location has been set for Ne-vada.
***Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters has spo-
ken for the fi rst time about his fall out with other band members. Waters says he regrets taking legal action against his former band mates. Waters told the BBC he was wrong to have
tried to stop the continued use of the band’s name after he left Pink Floyd in 1985. Waters founded the band with Syd Barrett, Nick Mason and Richard Wright in 1965. David Gilmour joined in 1967.
Pink Floyd was one of the most cel-ebrated rock bands of all time, caus-ing so much excitement in the UK in the late sixties by being one of the fi rst bands to come on stage armed with a light show. They were one of the fi rst English groups to play San Francisco-style psychedelic rock. They fi nally took on the world with their monu-mental album Dark Side of the Moon selling more than 2 million copies worldwide and still selling well to this day as newly indoctrinated fans con-tinue to buy Floyd albums from the past. Pink Floyd has remained high on the rungs of rockdom’s fi nest.
***GREAT family fun day ‘Feast & Fam-ily Field Day’ will be held at the Morn-ing Star Estate on 5 and 6 October, fea-turing over 70 stalls including farming demonstrations, vintage cars, music, food, beer and wine, cooking dem-onstrations, animal farms, face paint-ing, a CFA display, craft activities and much more. Parking is free. The event
is presented by the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza. www.feastandfamilyfi eldday.com.au
***ROBBIE Williams will release his new album Swings Both Ways on 15 November.
The album features a brilliant selec-tion of classic songs including Dream A Little Dream with Lily Allen, I Wan’na Be Like You with Olly Murs and Little Green Apples with Kelly Clarkson. Brand new tracks include Soda Pop with Michael Buble and Swings Both Ways written and per-formed with Rufus Wainwright.
The album sees Robbie reunite with producer Guy Chambers, with whom he wrote 6 new songs.
Other tracks include Puttin’ on the Ritz, Minnie the Moocher and Shine My Shoes.
“First of all, I wanted to do a swing album because I wanted to do a swing album,” Robbie has said. “I always knew I’d do another and I think now is the perfect time to do it. I’m enjoying showbiz and I’m enjoying my life and my understanding of where I am now is that there needs to be an event every time I bring out a record.”
Robbie’s previous swing album Swing When You’re Winning was re-

PROVINCIALBy IT GullyTHE Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association’s Provincial grade season begins on Saturday and promises to be one of the most exciting yet, with many teams capable of making the fi nals.
There wasn’t a lot between the top seven sides last season while the likes of Rye and Mt Martha were capable of big things on a good day.
Langwarrin comes into the compe-tition after four seasons and three straight grand fi nal appearances in Dis trict grade. The side will be straight into the mix.
Reigning premier Peninsula Old Boys will obviously be one of the teams to beat yet again.
The Old Boys scraped into the top four last season, nudging out Crib Point, but brought their best cricket to the table in the fi nals to win the silverware.
The team knocked over Baxter in the semi-fi nal before easily beating Sorrento in the grand fi nal.
Handy bowler Justin Parkes joins the Old Boys, which already had a very good outfi t under the guidance of Glen Prendergast.
With the likes of Dylan O’Mally, Wade Pelzer and John Forrest, as well
as exciting youngsters Eivion Bowen and Zac Fillipone (although Fillipone is injured and will miss the season’s start), the Old Boys again will be close to the top of the tree.
Sorrento will be looking to go one better this season.
Former Victorian Bushranger Nick Jewell steps up as captain. Despite ru-mours to the contrary, Anthony Black-well is going around again, while Nick Davern is the coach.
The Sorras have lost David Smith and Klint James, and they’ll be looking for improvement from youngsters An-drew “AJ” King, Jedd Falck, Liam O’Connor and Leigh Poholke.
There is no question that with Jewell and Blackwell, the Sorras will be right in the mix yet again.
Baxter is rolling the dice for a big season. There was talk of retirements but all last season’s players are front-ing again.
Adrian Mack appears to be fi nishing his senior career at Baxter, turning his back on an opportunity to play at Langwarrin.
Baxter’s top-liners – led by captain Daniel Warwick, with the addition of Dale Irving, Sam Woolsgrove, Darren Uccello, Adrian Mack, Travis Sawers and Shane McComb – will see the side challenge again.
The team fi nished a game clear on
top last season with nine wins and two losses (including an outright victory) but crashed out of the fi nals. The club needs to fi nd some more up and coming stars.
Big things were expected of Morn-ing ton last season and although it fi nished in third place, it too crashed out of the fi nals, beaten by Sorrento.
Matt Foon will coach the team, but Robert Hearn has been lost to Premier cricket.
It’s a massive year for the Doggies, who are celebrating their 150th anni-versary year.
Ben Clements (Wally Wedgewood medallist) and Anthony Gapes are ob-viously the keys with the bat. Morn-ington will be looking for improvement from young bowlers Matt Harper, Jack Heseltine and Glenn Wood.
There is also plenty of chatter around that the Dogs may unleash an overseas player.
New club Langwarrin is expected to be competitive.
Mark Cooper is again at the helm after winning the fl ag in his fi rst season, while top-liners in Andy John-son, Dwayne Doig and David Ross are looking for big seasons. Nathan Volpe returns after coaching Seaford and left-arm seamer Andy McMannis joins the Kangas.
Scott Phillips is obviously the big in
for Long Island, returning to his home club after a few years at Hastings.
The Islanders are celebrating their 40th season in the MPCA.
Paul Hartle, Justin Bridgeman, Greg Lamb and skipper Andrew Tweedle are the obvious stars, while the club will be looking for continued improvement from Aaron Paxton.
Michael Burke isn’t playing this sea son, looking to have a monster foot ball season in 2014.
Mt Eliza has Jason Mathers as coach and Lyle House as captain. House missed a lot of cricket last season with an ankle injury.
Tom Baron has returned from Frank-ston Peninsula, which is another big gain for the Mounties. Tim Strickland and Scott Creffi eld will be keys to the Mounties’ success this season, while Justin Grant will be a loss, due to a knee reconstruction following a football injury.
Corey Harris is a key signing for Mt Martha, crossing from Rye.
Chris Holcombe is not playing this season and David Sands is suffering from a serious illness. Youngsters Jor-dan Pomeroy and Mitch Darville will be ones to watch.
Luke Chapple is the headline recruit for Crib Point, which missed out on the fi nals by just half a game last season.
An outright loss really cost the Mag-pies in 2012-13.
Luke Herrington is again the man in charge, while the Pies will also rely on Glenn Barclay, Henry Dolphin, Matty Blake and Brad Davidson.
Heatherhill struggled to get its best players consistently on the park last sea son. Its list was better than four wins and seven losses.
From all reports the Hills are up for a much improved season. With Jedd Sutton coming from Baxter and Nathan Martin returning from Frank-ston Peninsula, there’s no reason to argue. Word is the Hills have picked up a useful bowler from Ballarat.
Gun quick Ben Frith is trying his luck at Premier level.
There’s not a lot of news coming out of Moorooduc. Bobby Wilson will again be in charge, on and off the fi eld, while Miles Cordeux will be his deputy.
The Ducs will rely on Dave Green-smith with the ball and Ben Williams with the bat. Success will come from the ability of the bottom six players supporting the big top fi ve.
At Rye, Darren Groves goes around again as coach. The Demons will feel the loss of Corey Harris to the Reds. They will rely again on Rhys Wynne, Tommy Barrand and Justin King.
Sorras and Old Boys the ones to beatSorras and Old Boys the ones to beat
DISTRICTBy IT GullyMORNINGTON Peninsula District cricket was sensational viewing last season and there is no reason to believe it will not be the same in 2013-14.
There wasn’t a lot between the top nine sides last season, although even-tual premier Langwarrin proved to be at the top of the tree.
There were just two wins separating fourth-placed Baden Powell and ninth-placed Boneo, while Main Ridge was just one game further back in tenth.
Frankston YCW was relegated to Sub-district after a winless season and Seaford is the new side in the compe-tition.
Consistency will be the key this sea-son for all clubs.
Runner-up last season was Somer-ville and the club again will be looking to get the best out of its list.
Ryan McQueen crossed from Sea-ford to Somerville but returned to Seaford a few weeks back.
Andrew West remains the coach and Somie again has a strong batting line-up with Keith Burdett, Ben Delaney and Nick Marshall. It is a dependable top order. Aaron Kaddatz was superb last season with the ball and, with Russell Wilkes, will lead the attack.
Carrum has lost run-machine Dan Polson to Cranbourne. The Lions fi ni-sh ed in second place last season and will be looking for continued im-provement from their youngsters, led by Jackson Fry and Lachy Dobson. Shaun Foster and Josh Dent will lead the batting.
Baden Powell is looking strong after winning the T20 competition. The Braves will again be led by Rhys Elmi (captain) and Elia Carter, while Josh Waldron is expected to join his team mates in round 3. Anjula Perera is back and John Harrison, dare we say, is going around again.
Delacombe Park has been the big underachiever in the past couple of sea sons, last season especially.
Chris Brittain goes around again as captain and a fi tter and stronger Simon Dignan will be important. The Parkers’ bowling will be led by Varun Singh and Shane Deal.
The new kid on the block is Ballam Park, which was relegated from Pro-vin cial last season after being beaten outright fi ve times.
MPCA legend Rob Bedford heads the club as coach and Matty Roach is captain.
The Knights have picked up a few players and should be more com pe-titive than previous seasons.
Boneo coach Leigh Lowry has the youngsters training hard.
The batting will be led by Ryan Jellie, Alex Petrovic, Jayden Sholl and Cam Williams. Williams will also be a prime bowler, along with Leigh Janssen.
Pines might be the ones to jump out of the box. The Piners have lured Josh Wilcox back from Frankston Penin-sula, while Jake Prosser crosses from
Langwarrin as assistant coach. Former Langwarrin premiership player Jeremy Weare has come out of retirement.
These players will be nice additions to the likes of Ricky Ramsdale, Brett Hudgson, Brett Remy, Harley Peace-Stirling and Nick Wilcox.
Scott Millar returns to Main Ridge after a stint at Rosebud. Ian Ross-borough has had a very good preseason and the likes of Gareth Wyatt and Jason Albress are stars. Keep a look out for youngster James Abbott.
Seaford Tigers have kept all of their Sub-district premiership stars.
The Tigers have outstanding juniors who will be a year older and wiser.
Two-time medallist Corey Hand will lead the side, and the Tigers have also picked up a couple of handy types, including Jason Hartigan from Skye and former Melbourne District player Kane Perry.
Scott Philips is a massive loss for Hastings, who single-handedly won the Blues games last season.
The team will rely on Luke Hewitt to step up.
Isi Dias will lead the bowling and will be supported by Langwarrin re-cruit Ben Johnson, who took fi ve wickets in last year’s grand fi nal win. Ben King is also a very good recruit from French Island.
Flinders fi nished eighth last season, two games outside the four.
Dwayne Field remains as captain-coach and the likes of Shane Beggs, Tom Clements, Tim Clarke and Andy Power will be running around again. Simon Parrott may also return after a big injury last season.
A month ago it appeared Seaford was in some strife with many players said to be leaving.
However, at this stage it appears only Nathan Volpe and Andy Mc-Mannis have gone to Langwarrin.
Da mien Lawrence (captain), Nick Simp fendorfer and Ryan McQueen are all staying.
District cricket set for sensational seasonDistrict cricket set for sensational season
SUB-DISTRICTBy IT GullyMPCA Sub-district cricket this season is expected to again be tight at the top of the table.
Balnarring was the bolter last season, fi nishing on top, and Rosebud went into the fi nals as favourite.
Red Hill was also expected to challenge for the title, which was eventually won by Seaford Tigers, the side coming from nowhere to “steal” the fl ag.
Tyabb was the unlucky team to miss out on the four while Pearcedale and
Tootgarook weren’t that far off the pace.
French Island is no longer in the competition after winning just two games last season, which eliminates the bye.
Here’s how the clubs shape up for the coming season:
Rosebud – The Buds lose Scott Millar to Main Ridge. He snared 35 wickets last season. Scott Clark also departs. Darren Kerr will be in charge and Dean Collins has crossed from Rye. The Doughty brothers will be relied on to have a big year.
Red Hill – Simon Dart is playing
another season for the Hillmen and will be ably supported by Glenn Collett and Nick Wood. The club will be looking for continued improvement from Riley Shaw, Matt Merrifeld and Lincoln Toy.
Balnarring – The club should be in the mix once again, although Luke Chapple is a big loss to Crib Point. There’s still a lot to like with Chris Murphy as coach, Brendan Saker in the middle order, the exciting Tom Hilet, and Jacob Cook leading the attack.
Tyabb – The club has lost Nick Taranto to Frankston Peninsula. Luke
Rus is the key to success with Nathan Hudgson leading the attack.
Pearcedale – The Dales should improve under new coach Chris Dew, who has crossed from Frankston Peninsula. The preseason has been strong with Travis Unthank, Mitch Andrew and Aidan Bock carrying the bowling. Calvin Bypost and Matt Cousland are keys with the bat.
Tootgarook – David Smith is a great recruit from Sorrento. The Tooters also keep extremely important players Matt Whelan, Luke Thompson and Ash Rickard.
Frankston YCW – The Stonecats
will improve this season after being relegated from District cricket. They have a host of young stars led by Jack Greenwood. Captain-coach Paul Bradley will give the kids every opportunity.
Skye – The club has lost coach Jason Hartigan, but Leigh Smith steps up as captain-coach.
Dromana – Mark Whitehead is at the helm of the Hoppers. Ben Slocombe is a big loss.
Carrum Downs – The side will be looking to improve on two wins. Steve Worker remains and Chamera Perera is clearly the key bowler.

Sudoku and crossword solutions
Artico now a KangaDROMANA premiership coach Gavin Artico has returned to where it all began – Langwarrin.
Artico started his coaching career with the Kangas in 2005, winning a premiership in his fi rst season.
While many people were speculating the deal between Langwarrin and Artico was done two months ago, it was only announced last Saturday at the Langwarrin end-of-season dinner.
The big tip was Frankston YCW but it wasn’t a job Artico seriously considered.
Tigers on prowlDROMANA offered Nepean League coach of the year Nick Claringbold the coaching position vacated by Artico, but “Bolder” said no thanks.
Claringbold and his wife are expecting a child and he has decided to take a year off for personal reasons.
Eagles sign HirstSOMERVILLE has signed David “Budda” Hirst as coach.
As reported a few weeks ago, Hirst was also keen on coaching his home club Karingal but wasn’t considered. Hirst last played at Somerville two seasons ago.
It is expected he will bring Karingal team-mate Cal Dixon with him, while outgoing coach Leigh Stewart is fi nishing his career at the Eagles. “Stewie” plays his 300th in round one.
Pies appoint ‘Annas’DWAYNE Annable is the new coach at Crib Point. “Annas” has done the job before and
is no stranger to coaching. He is a Magpie through and through.
Sorrento race is onIT appears there are plenty of hands going up for the Sorrento coaching gig.
We reported last week that Leigh Treeby and Troy Schwarze were keen on the job. We also hear Ryan Jeffrey is keen to take on the role.
Late last week the rumour was doing the rounds that Sorrento was close to appointing a retired Essendon player.
David Hille certainly has links with the penin-sula, being an old boy of the Peninsula School in Mt Eliza where his father was headmaster.
Sorrento advertised the job in the Herald Sun last weekend.
Buds are trainingROSEBUD has begun preseason training – but not under the direction of coach Nick Jewell.
Jewell said the boys had taken it upon them selves to start preparing for 2014 early, supported by the club’s fi tness adviser, who also happens to be a former Richmond and Carlton fi tness guru as well as the coach of the Australian weightlifting team.
“We were just two points away from a grand fi nal, so I can understand their desire,” Jewell said.
Jewell said Matty Payne was still a 50/50 chance of playing next season.
“It’s family and friends versus lifestyle in Queensland. Hopefully he stays and helps us have another crack next season,” Jewell said.
Rosebud has also re-signed its forward-ruck man Ben Dwyer, who has been coaching in Gippsland, along with key defender Ben Shelton. Both have played with the Buds before.
Gun Sorrento under-18 player Luke Shultz has also signed with the Buds after a year off. He is a Glen Boyington-type player.
“We also hope to sign a couple more in the coming weeks,” Jewell said.

Goal getters MELBOURNE Heart visited Frankston Park on Saturday for a pre-season friendly against a peninsula select XI side. Heart won 4-1 in their fi nal match before the A-League season begins.
