Your guide to what’s on this weekend

for peninsula families

WHAT’S a “paint-out”? Why, it’s a group of people getting together to paint a given subject, of course.

This one: “At the water’s edge…” comple-ments Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s summer exhibition, On the Beach.

Enthusiastic artists in the paint-out focused on the intricate patterns of water movement at the water’s edge near the Canadian Bay Club, Mt Eliza, Thursday.

Coincidentally, the movie On the Beach was fi lmed at Mt Eliza in the early 1960s starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner and Fred Astaire.

“This group is not a formal art group or society as such, just people who heard we were putting it on and were especially keen to come along knowing landscape artist and instructor Colin Johnson was the instructor,” organiser Jane German said.

For the past fi ve years the gallery has included a summer paint-out at an idyllic location – last year was Balcombe estuary, Mt Martha, and this year the Canadian Bay Club, which Ms German said had been “generous and welcoming”.

The club was closed for a large part of last year for redevelopment.

“When I told them what I was doing they were quite happy to offer the space and promote it to a group of people that may not have otherwise known about the club,” Ms German said.

BOMB threats created a dramatic start to the school year for hundreds of chil-dren on the Mornington Peninsula.

Pupils at Mornington Park, East-bourne and Sorrento primary schools spent a terrifying afternoon evacuated or in lockdown after their schools re-

ceived the hoax calls – most via auto-mated messages.

For many pupils it was their second day of school.

By Friday the perpetrators appeared no closer to being caught, with senior police still saying the calls appeared designed to “cause disruption and at-tract media attention”.

Education Minister James Merlino said 20 schools across Victoria had re-

ceived threatening phone calls alluding to bombings and shootings.

Sorrento Primary School principal Meg Dallas said her 320 pupils had been evacuated to the nearby com-munity centre for one hour after staff received an automated call.

She said the school’s emergency management plan covered bomb threats, and staff and pupils had re-sponded “fantastically”.

“They moved quickly and quietly to the community centre and the mem-bers there were magnifi cent, too,” Ms Dallas said.

Eastbourne Primary School princi-pal Steve Wilkinson said a hoax call at midday saw the evacuation of 400 pupils to the “safest place – the school oval. The safety and welfare of our pu-pils is our priority”.

“We told the children straight out

that we had an emergency and then en-acted our management plan; the staff and pupils were magnifi cent and the whole process went like a drill, very smoothly,” Mr Wilkinson said.

The adjacent Seawinds Community Hub provided drinks and toilets.

Mornington Park Primary School principal Bev Dadds said an automat-ed call at 12.15pm alerted them to the threat. Continued 0

THAT fi rst day at school … It’s often a mixture of angst, excitement and anticipation – coupled with an organi-sational challenge for parents.

Well, just imagine increasing the stakes threefold!

That was the case for one local fam-ily last week when triplets Donna, Dimitri and Andreas Watson turned up

for prep classes at Mornington Prima-ry, Vale St, for the fi rst time.

The two boys and one girl were pop-ular arrivals.

“They are the only triplets at the school and we believe they are the fi rst ever triplets here at Mornington Primary,” business manager Olympia Maselli said.

Dad Carl said the children got along well but were happy to be in separate grades in the school’s junior open learning centre.

“They spend enough time together and it will be good for them to meet up with other children,” he said.

The triplets will turn fi ve on 17 Feb-ruary.

TWO Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors have overspent their semi-nars and conferences allowance, one by more than 92 per cent.

Figures up to the end of January in-cluded in a councillor briefi ng show Cr Antonella Celi has racked up $30,810 against an entitlement of $16,000, which is $14,810 (92.6 per cent) above her entitlement.

Fellow Seawinds ward councillor David Gibb has spent $19,147, an overspend of $3147 or 19.6 per cent.

Chief fi nancial offi cer Matt Hubbard said the extra expenses incurred by Crs Celi and Gibb had been approved by “council resolution” for them to attend “additional professional education programs governed by examinations”.

He said this type of spending was available to all councillors.

Cr Celi has been doing a $10,000 di-ploma in local government since early in her term on council, leaving only $6000 for other spending under the shire’s Councillor Resource Expense Entitlements Policy.

All councillors are entitled to $4000 a year, or $16,000 over the four-year council term.

Cr Gibb used $7000 for a director’s course, leaving only $9000 before he reached his $16,000 allowance ceiling.

Cr Celi’s spending comprises near-

ly 20 per cent of what all councillors have spent on seminars and conferenc-es since the 2012 elections, the fi gures reveal.

In contrast, the table sent to council-lors in the briefi ng papers show Cr An-drew Dixon has spent nothing so far in this term, which ends with the council election on 22 October.

Cr Celi referred inquiries from The News to communications and media manager Mark Kestigian.

The third Seawinds councillor, the mayor Graham Pittock, has chalked up $10,505 (excluding an estimated $6000 trip to Paris), taking the ward total to $60,462 for the period. Nepean ward’s Hugh Fraser (who also went to paris at an estimated cost of $6000) and Tim Rodgers each spent between $15,000 and $16,000, for a total of $30,949.

Briars ward’s three councillors com-bined, Anne Shaw, Bev Colomb and Cr Dixon, have spent $22,926 in total.

Cr Pittock said his ward colleagues were “hard-working councillors and probably needed the extra funds”.

According to the shire fi gures Cr Celi spent $8336 in 2012-13, exceed-ing by $4336 that year’s entitlement. Councillors can “borrow” from future years to attend conferences and semi-nars but must not exceed the four-year limit.

In 2013-14 Cr Celi spent a further $8362, bringing her total spend to $16,698, or $698 over her four-year entitlement in two years. Page 10

Breach: Former Carrum MP Donna Bauer penalised for early distribution of leafl et during Liberal Party preselection process for Dunkley. Picture: Gary Sissons

DUNKLEY preselection hopeful Donna Bauer has fallen foul of Liberal Party guidelines in her bid to win the party’s nomination as its candidate at the next federal election.

The former Carrum state MP distribut-ed leafl ets last month to party members touting her credentials as the potential candidate for the seat of Dunkley before nominations closed and a candidate list was formalised by the Liberal Party.

The early circulation of the leafl et to party preselectors before the candidate list was fi nalised is a breach of Liberal Party guidelines.

Ms Bauer said she was unable to comment due to party rules forbidding candidates from publicly commenting on preselection matters but Victorian Liberal Party state director Simon Frost confi rmed the breach of party guidelines and said as a result Ms Bauer had agreed to only distribute one more piece of preselection campaign material to pre-selectors.

Nomination rivals will be able to dis-tribute up to three pieces in total com-pared to Ms Bauer’s two.

“It has been brought to the attention of the Secretariat that there was a breach in the preselection guidelines by Ms Bauer, which she acknowledges,” Mr Frost said.

“In keeping with the spirit of the guidelines and fairness to other nomi-

Neil [email protected]

Blip in Bauer’s Blip in Bauer’s preselection bidpreselection bid

nees Ms Bauer has been penalised as per party rules.”

Since Ms Bauer has breached guide-lines, not party rules, there is no sugges-tion that she will face further sanctions although The News understands the guidelines breach will be highlighted to preselectors. The party’s candidate will be decided later this month.

Kingston councillor Paul Peulich, the son of Liberal state Upper House MP for the South Eastern Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich, and former Liberal Isaacs candidate Peter Angelico are among candidates to have put themselves for-ward as potential Liberal candidates for Dunkley.

Mr Angelico withdrew as the Liberal candidate for Isaacs before the 2010 fed-eral election after an industrial accident at his Dandenong steel business crushed the tips of three fi ngers on a teenage worker’s hand.

The seat of Dunkley will be vacated by former small business minister Bruce Billson at the next federal election, to be held this year, due to his exit from poli-tics after his demotion from cabinet late last year by incoming Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

The Dunkley electorate includes the suburbs Frankston, Langwarrin, Mt Eli-za, Mornington, Seaford and Skye.

Labor has chosen lawyer Peta Murphy to contest Dunkley. Mr Billson held the seat for 20 years but Labor strategists have Dunkley in their sights as a poten-tial ‘gain’ as an often marginal seat.

Grants available SPORTING and active recreation clubs in Mornington are being en-couraged to apply for funding in Vi-cHealth’s active club grants program.

“This funding is vital to helping many more Victorians get the recom-mended minimum of 2.5 hours per week of moderate physical activity,” Mornington MP David Morris said.

“As well as the health benefi ts of keeping us fi t and preventing illness, exercise helps reduce stress and keeps us alert and resilient. Research also shows that it’s a great way to get social.

“Sport builds community pride and loyalty and offers people the chance to get involved, providing them with a positive sense of self-worth.”

The grants aim to make clubs safer and more accessible by funding es-sential equipment, such as bats, port-able goals, uniforms and balls.

This round, VicHealth will be plac-ing a particular focus on supporting sporting clubs and organisations that can attract more members, or improve participation opportunities among the Aboriginal community.

VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter said VicHealth was proud to continue to support local sporting organisations. “In awarding these grants, special consideration will also be given to applications from clubs in areas of socio-economic disadvantage, as well as clubs/organisations who can demonstrate that an active club grant will increase opportunities for regular physical activity in their community,” he said.

VicHealth’s Active Club Grants ap-plications close Friday 4 March.

THE lack of suitable fuel depots for giant fi re-fi ghting “air cranes” means the Mornington Peninsula is less well protected against catastrophic bush-fi res than it could be.

The fuel, called AVTUR, is not stored anywhere on the peninsula, meaning the air cranes have to travel back to either Moorabbin or Essendon airports for refuelling – or depend on a road tanker from the refi nery at Al-tona.

During the disastrous – but relatively small – 18 January fi res at Crib Point, a tanker was sent from 83 kilometres from Altona to refuel the Erickson wa-ter bomber at Tyabb. It was delayed by heavy traffi c and is banned from road tunnels.

The water bomber crews elected to fl y back to Moorabbin to refuel, but were recalled to Tyabb when the road tanker arrived, losing fi re-fi ghting time.

The size of the air crane’s payload is described as a “fi ne balance” between its fuel and water loads – meaning the less fuel it has to carry the more water it can dump on a fi re.

On 18 January one house and sev-eral outbuildings were destroyed. No lives were lost, but the day could have been worse and fi re crews are bracing for more dangerous fi res in the future and having the special fuel on the pen-

insula would give them an advantage.Peninsula Aero Club vice president

Jack Vevers said the air crane fi ght-ing the Crip Point fi re lost “up to two cycles of refuelling” by going to Moorabbin and Tyabb.

He said a peninsula depot for AV-TUR fuel was urgently needed. He said an incident at Portsea “a couple of summers ago” – when emergency services helicopters wasted precious minutes fl ying back to Moorabbin to refuel while searching for a missing woman – proved his point.

Mr Vevers said emergency services

helicopters, including police search-and-rescue helicopters monitoring Western Port and southern Port Phil-lip, would also be able to use the ex-pensive fuel, which would have a six-month use-by date before “going off”.

He said it was not up to the airfi eld to “justify or instigate” development of an AVTUR depot. “It’s [Morning-ton Peninsula] shire’s responsibility,” he said. “We are just a willing partici-pant.

“We are keen to support the air crane at Tyabb as well as fi xed wing and rotary if that would help improve their fi re-fi ghting capabilities here.”

Cr David Garnock, whose Cerberus Ward was most affected by the 18 January fi res, said the shire’s munici-pal emergency management planning committee had asked the aero club to submit a written proposal for the AV-TUR depot.

“I’m not shooting it out of the water. If it’s got legs I will push it, but it’s up to the Tyabb airfi eld to establish the case.”

Cr Garnock said other considera-tions included justifying the expense of keeping the fuel here “just to be ready” when the CFA was already experienced in managing its own fuel supplies in emergencies.

“I’d like to hear the CFA’s views. They might be against it.”

Mornington Peninsula’s No.1 Solar Company.Unbeaten on value, quality and workmanship. Deal direct with the electrician.

MORNINGTON Yacht Club has come a long way since 11 interested residents met to discuss forming a sailing club in February 1946.

Members of the founding group wanted to sail their assorted collec-tion of boats off Shire Hall beach. In May that year Mornington Council leased the group an ex-Army hut close to the pier. This served as the catalyst for development of competi-tive sailing in the district.

Now, 70 years later, the vibrant and diverse club with more than 750 members will hold an open day on the weekend of 20-21 February.

The Back to Mornington YC Week-end will be open to the public and past members are being encouraged to attend.

Features will include displays of historic photographs and boats, a 70th anniversary fl eet race on the Satur-day close to pier and shore viewing places, live music , free morning and afternoon tea, and opportunities to sail.

Back in the early days, the heavy-weight Sharpie introduced in 1947 served as the backbone of the club for the next 10 years. Inter-club sailing took place between Black Rock, Mor-dialloc, Chelsea and Frankston yacht clubs. The Sharpie era culminated in the club holding a successful state championship in 1951.

In those days there was limited training for junior sailors other than learning the ropes as a bailer boy in Sharpies. This all changed in 1956 with the introduction of the Sabot as a training boat for juniors which was supported by a home-building

On high: Mornington Yacht Club, and the fi lled land it sits on, present a striking sight from the air.

program.This became the foundation for the

club and introduced hundreds of boys and girls to sailing as a sport.

For many years the Sabot fl eet was the largest in the state and Mornington members won six state titles and two Australian championships.

In the past 10 years or so the Sabot has been replaced by the Optimist with similar success.

In 1964 the club had 156 members, a number which increased rapidly fol-lowing a grant of reclaimed land near the pier on which a new clubhouse was built.

New classes were introduced, in-cluding the Gwen 12, Cherub, Fireball and Mirror dinghy as a family class.

The fi rst Flying Fifteen in Australia sailed at Mornington and became one of the major classes at the club. Several are still sailing today and share the hard-stand area with a fl eet of Etchells.

In the mid-1950s a strong keelboat fl eet began at the club and ocean rac-ing fl ourished with Mornington yachts winning divisions of the Sydney to Hobart, Queenscliff to Devonport, Melbourne to Hobart and Sydney to Noumea ocean races.

Keelboat racing is still important, with weekly races for two divisions of keelboats and for the strong trailable yacht fl eet which continues to grow.

Club members have won around 20 state and fi ve national titles and one world championship.

The club has also hosted several state, national and one world champi-onship. Not all the sailing at Morn-ington is ultra-competitive and the club runs a Thursday evening twilight series in summer.

In 1999 club members established a Sailability program to provide sailing experience for those with disabilities.

The program has run ever since with sessions held twice weekly throughout the sailing season. A participant has won a Victorian championship and sailed successfully in national and international events.

Training programs are also run for schoolchildren and anyone who wants to learn to sail.

Seventy years on and Mornington Yacht Club is a vibrant, active mem-ber of the Mornington community.

TO some, boxing may seem a strange road to travel in search of peace. But that is exactly the destination where the lessons in life handed out by box-ing trainer Ron Smith can lead.

The Mt Eliza-based former profes-sional boxer admits to making mis-takes while growing up, but says he learned from those to be a better man.

Now 71, Smith is an advocate for peace, harmony and self-respect; at-tributes he passes on to people of all ages attending the Mt Eliza Boxing Centre he runs with his wife Sharyn.

The philosophies espoused by Smith resonated so much with Jack Ahern that they are now neatly compressed into a biographic documentary.

Ahern, 18, is a year 12 student at Mt Eliza Secondary College who last year took on accelerated media stud-ies which called for him to produce a short video.

It didn’t take him long to realise the potential screen presence of the man who had been teaching him boxing for the previous couple of years.

In that time Smith had become “a second father fi gure” helping Ahern through some personal issues that “motivated me to be fi t and healthy not just in the body but in the mind as well”.

“I chose Ron as my subject because I wanted to make my fi rst short fi lm an inspirational story that the audi-ence would fi nd intriguing and that they would be proud of one of their local residents,” Ahern now says of

Boxing a way to peace, happinessKeith [email protected]

The Boxer, a fi lm about the life and philosophy of personal trainer and former professional boxer, Ron Smith.

“With all the violence I hear about in the news I wanted to show young people that it's not the boxing that makes the man, but the man that makes the boxer,” Ahern says, quoting one of Smith’s axioms.

“I also wanted to expose the life of Ron, as little is known about this local hero and all the work he has done to change the lives of young individu-als and put them back on the right path after suffering from issues such as drugs, alcohol, weight and mental health problems.”

Smith, a veteran of 108 competition fi ghts and a contemporary of Johnny Famechon, regularly helps the former world champion try to overcome the debilitating effects of being hit by a car 24 years ago.

Using a Nikon D3100 DSLR cam-era complete with sliders, stabilisers, tripods and external microphones, Ah-ern spent much of last year producing, fi lming and editing The Boxer, which overlays an interview with Smith with shots of gym workouts, Smith at home exercising, meditating at the beach and Smith and Famechon.

Ahern acknowledges the “outstand-ing” support and advice of his media teacher Arturo Tallarida and says he had to look no further than fellow student Jordan Finlay for creating his soundtrack.

“For the original music, A long journey ahead of us, I explained to Jordan what I was after and he came up with an amazing piece,” Ahern

says. “I spent many, many hours edit-ing the fi lm and I was really pleased with the end result. I have had quite a lot of positive feedback which has been great.”

Among the feedback was a com-mission from a Mt Eliza business for a promotional video, which is now nearing completion.

One of the college’s four captains this year, Ahern would like a career in fi lming.

“I'm attracted to many subjects that I would like to fi lm in the future, I really like the idea of exposing local heroes and telling stories about the Mornington Peninsula for which there are so many stories to tell,” he says.

“I would also like to make some underwater and surfi ng fi lms as the peninsula has some really interesting marine life and outstanding scenery.”

And university? Maybe.“I have learnt so much from making

the fi lm about Ron. Not only about how I can improve my techniques but also how much I have been motivated and inspired by my second father who has taught me so much more then boxing, school, fi tness, relationships and that the most important thing in life is to be happy and to live healthy.”

But the fi nal words, as in the fi lm, should belong to Smith, the man who says boxing opened many doors in his life: “There’s far too much aggres-sion in the world today. You need to respect yourself and others.”

AN image of the Virgin Mary stolen from the Greek Orthodox church, Red Hill, has been found.

Mornington Peninsula CIU detectives were told two thieves entered the church, on Arthurs Seat Rd, around 3.50am Sunday.

CCTV footage shows them approaching a sealed glass box containing an icon of the Virgin Mary and gold jewellery.

After unsuccessfully trying to smash the glass, the thieves removed the case from the counter top, stealing the icon and assorted jewellery.

The case, Virgin Mary icon and other smaller pieces of jewellery were found, Thursday, on the side of White Hill Rd, Red Hill, not far from the church.

Police believe the items were dumped a few

days before, but they say most of the jewellery stolen during the raid is still missing.

This is the second robbery at the church in 18 months.

In mid-2014, the glass covering the image was shattered by thieves who entered a side door on a Wednesday afternoon, but fl ed when The Rev Father Eleftherios Tatsis came into the church.

In that raid about $300,000 worth of gold chains, watches, coins and rings donated over al-most 30 years, stolen. Much of the gold and jew-ellery lay scattered near the door as the thieves made their escape. The icon was left behind that time.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000, or to submit a confi den-tial report at crimestoppers.vic.com.au

Caught in the act: Two men wearing hoodies or overalls are have been captured on CCTV raiding the Greek Orthodox church, Red Hill.

Continued from Page 3Then in 2014-15 Cr Celi’s spending was

$12,835, bringing her total to $29,533. She has added $1276 to that sum in the current year, for a total of $30,810.

The most recent debate, in council and in public, about councillor spending on confer-ences and seminars, followed the decision last November to send councillors Graham Pittock and Hugh Fraser to the Paris climate change conference.

The Paris request went to council’s 23 No-vember meeting where an offi cer’s report esti-mated the cost of each councillor’s attendance at $6146 plus incidental expenses.

The estimated cost of sending the two councillors to Paris would not push either councillor over their $16,000 four-year limit, according to the offi cer report – a statement that appears in each staff report to council on applications to attend conferences or seminars.

It has since been revealed that the shire’s renewable resources team leader Jess Wingad accompanied Crs Pittock and Fraser to Paris.

After close questioning in a long and heat-ed debate about the need for the shire to be represented at the climate change conference, councillors approved the applications. But, in amended resolutions, councillors Pittock and Fraser were required each to present a report to council on their return.

It was also resolved that “a fully itemised ex-penditure report relating to the conference be tabled to council” for each councillor.

As well, it was resolved that the cost of Cr Fraser’s attendance “be capped to the $16,000 four-year term limit”. All councillors took part in these votes, apart from the two prospective attendees, who left the chamber to avoid any confl ict of interest.

Councillors’ expenses

Outgoings: A table showing spending by individual councillors provided in a briefi ng note.

Continued from Page 1“I rang the police and made an emer-

gency announcement to staff asking them to gather the children and class rolls and assemble on the school oval,” Ms Dadds said.

“We grabbed a big box of fruit on the way. When we had made sure every-one was there we called the education department and the police who were amazing; we felt that we were really being supported.

“The children and the staff were calm and we had all our procedures in place.”

Ms Dadds said the 195 children were on the oval for 90 minutes. Par-ents were notifi ed and many collected, while others were taken inside after

being given the all clear.A review of practices in the wake of

the emergency has meant the school now has keys to the adjacent Narambi reserve and Currawong community centre toilets. Mornington police vis-ited the school again next day.

Chief Police Commissioner Graham Ashton said that although the threats were a “hoax scenario” each one need-ed to be taken seriously.

“It may be that a particular call is not a hoax,” Mr Ashton said on Tuesday.

Federal and Victoria Police had been investigating the calls since Friday week. They were not regarded as ter-rorist-related, although federal police were investigating their “international elements”.

Schools evacuated after threats

Ambassador on marketTHE Ambassador Hotel function centre in Frankston is being demolished but the site is back on the market after a sale at auction late last year fell through.

Winning bidder Harry Matsoukas said he was “not involved with that any more” when contacted by The News last month.

Lender the Jadig Group repossessed the property at 325 Nepean Highway late last year after previous owner Joanna Kordos, who had planned to build 37 apartments at the site, did not make loan payments.

Jadig Group managing director Jack Gring-las said the company had decided to demolish the function centre since Frankston Council had grown increasingly frustrated with re-peated failures by Ms Kordos to tear down the building, regarded as an eyesore and magnet for drug users.

“I took the view that if we have to put it back on the market it’s going to be much more saleable as a vacant block,” Mr Gringlas said.

Mr Gringlas said the Jadig Group is in ne-gotiation with several potential buyers and is looking for about $2.5 million for the property.

PADUA College has appointed Anthony Banks as its new principal.

He and wife Sacha are back living in Morn-ington with their four children, Aurelia, 10, Ava, 8, Raphael, 6 and Layla, 4, after two years in Mildura as principal of St Joseph’s College.

Mr Bank’s says he is “thrilled and excited to be back in this beautiful part of the world”.

He sees his role as “not a position of power or prestige, but as a position of privilege and service”.

“I look forward to serving the wonderful Pad-ua College Community, which has the Catholic education of our young people at the centre of all that we do on a daily basis,” he said.

Originally from a farming community in the Western District, Mr Banks attended Catholic schools in Ballarat. After 25 years as a teacher, he “values the importance of the faith-based education of the whole person espoused by Catholic education”.

“I intend to be respectful of following such a fi ne and long serving leader of the college in Christopher Houlihan, mindful of what is hap-

pening at the college this year and hopeful of the future directions of the college,” he said.

“Of course, I intend to add my vision, values and ideas and am looking forward to this excit-ing time in our development.”

This year the college will undertake a facili-ties masterplan of the Mornington Campus to allow for the growth in student numbers that are expected over the next two years, and will participate in the school review-improvement plan process conducted by the Catholic Educa-tion Melbourne.

As part of the facilities masterplan process the college will prepare an educational brief “aimed at developing the best educational model to ensure the academic success of our students over the coming years”, Mr Banks said.

“We will also build on the strategies that have been put in place at the college over the past few years to ensure that academic rigor is at the forefront of our learning and teaching.”

The college has campuses at Mornington, Rosebud and Tyabb.

New principal: Anthony Banks “values the importance of the faith-based education of the whole person”.

School leader aims to add vision, values and ideals

STUDENTS and trainees left stranded when the federal government cut funding for the PenBus service are now back on the road.

The state government has announced a dedi-cated bus service between Rosebud and Monash University’s Peninsula campus.

The 12-month trial service is a funding part-nership between the government, Mornington Peninsula Shire and Monash University.

Route 887 will begin on 22 February in time for the start of fi rst semester, and will follow the same route as PenBus. Six express round trips a day, Monday to Friday, will connect with Monash University’s inter-campus shuttle to

Clayton.The bus will also be available to the public,

with stops at Rosebud, Safety Beach, Mt Martha, Mornington, Mt Eliza, Frankston station and Monash Peninsula Campus.

The fi rst service will leave Rosebud at 6.47am, arriving at Frankston station at 7.37am and the Monash University Peninsula campus eight minutes later. The last service leaves Monash University’s Peninsula campus at 6.18pm arriv-ing at Rosebud at 7.18pm.

MEMBERS of the Save the Dromana Pier group made the most of the crowds at the Australia Day celebrations to get their point across.

“We had a marquee close to the shore end of the pier and nearly 500 people completed the survey form then and there,” committee chair-man Ray Barnard-Brown said.

“We were seeking public opinion as to what people would like in a new pier when one is built after the existing pier is demolished in a few years.

“All who stopped were very supportive of what we are trying to achieve: to ensure that Dromana does not fi nd itself without a pier at some time in the near future.

“The interest shown was enormous and not one person suggested that a replacement pier should not be constructed when the existing pier is demolished.”

“I think this was a staggeringly good result and will provide us with a very good idea of what people want in a new pier.”

The group has about 20 members.

Runabout winKARL Licis, of Safety Beach, will be spending more time on the water after winning a Haines Hunter 495 ProFish fi breglass cuddy cabin runa-bout in the annual Lions Club of Rye boat raffl e.

The $36,500 prize included safety equipment, fi sh fi nder and registrations.

Mr Licis said he could not believe he had won until all the paperwork was fi nalised and his prize delivered.

The raffl e’s 28,000 tickets were sold over a fi ve months, raising $55,000 for community projects.

CHILDREN brought up within the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community are being taught to be loyal to Australia.

“We will prove it with our actions and deeds that our youth are the best citizens of Australia and they will be well educated,” Inamul Haq Kauser said when speaking at an Australia Day dinner.

Guests at the dinner Sunday 31 January for 300 at the Baitu-us-Salam (House of Peace) Mosque, Langwar-rin, included members of parliament, councillors and police.

Imam Kauser, national president of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, gave assurances that the children of Ahmadi Muslims “will be loyal to this country”.

The imam told diners that Ah-madis were persecuted throughout the world, particularly in Pakistan, and were grateful to have been allowed to settle in Australia.

He described houses and shops be-longing to Ahmadi Muslims in other countries being “robbed and reduced to rubble”.

Ahmadi mosques were ordered shut by local imams and authorities.

“Hundreds of Ahmadi Muslims have been killed merely for worship-ing Allah or God,” Imam Kauser said.

“Australia is such a great country, who has given shelter to us, who has shared our pain and suffering. We are very thankful to this country. I’ve no wordings how to convey that feelings which my community has,” Imam Kauser said.

“We pledge that we’ll always be loyal to Australia. We pledge that we will always be peaceful, loving and

law-abiding citizens of this country. We remember very well the sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad: The Love of your country is a part of your faith. With this commandment, we pledge our loyalty to Australia, to its people and its government.”

Imam Kauser said Australia Day represented “a day of freedom”.

“The announcement to the whole world that Australia is a free country and those who come and be Austral-ians, they enjoy the freedom wherever they go,” he said.

“It is a day of celebrating peace for the victims ignored and suffered. This is like a shelter for them. It is like a homeland for them.”

The event also included the raising of the Australia and Victorian fl ags, a recitation from the Koran and Ahmadi children singing the national anthem, Advance Australia Fair.

South Eastern Metropolitan Region MP Inga Peulich said Ahmadiyya Muslims had done “a wonderful job … demystifying Islam and promoting interfaith dialogue and friendship”.

WHAT’S NEW...

MAKEOVER plans are underway to turn the Mornington Peninsula’s car and passenger ferry into a fl oating food market!

In a win for local tourism and the Peninsula’s Food and Wine industries, Searoad Ferries has been chosen to take part in the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival next month.

trucks, listen to great local musicians and mingle with the makers.

Searoad Ferries is focusing the event on the Peninsula and the Bay to link with the theme for this year’s festival ‘Sense of Place’. The unique experience aims to attract visitors and residents to sail a bespoke route along the Mornington Peninsula Coastline and indulge in the regions quality food and beverages.

Among the locals set to show off their delights will be Green Olive, Crittenden Estate, Blue Mini Cafe,

Stillwater at Crittenden and Morning-ton Peninsula Brewery.

Tickets for the event are now avail-able priced at $85 per person, which includes a drink on arrival, a sample plate and the ferry cruise.

A GOLF course designed and devel-oped by experts from the Mornington Peninsula has been ranked 24th best in the world – and it has been open just two months.

The Cape Wickham Links course on King Island was given the honour by Golf Digest magazine from 32,000 courses world-wide. The Digest is regarded as the world’s most widely-read golf publication, with monthly exposure to 5.5 million readers. It pro-duces its World’s 100 Greatest Golf Course rankings every two years.

The links course was developed by Duncan Andrews, of Flinders, owner of The Dunes Golf Links, Rye, and was co-designed by Darius Oliver, of Mornington and American Mike DeVries.

The construction crew included Mark McIntosh, of Rye, irrigation design and installation; Geoff Baker, Mornington, irrigation installation; Programmed Turnpoint’ s Andrew Purchase, St Andrews Beach, project manager; Lindsay Richter, Dromana, main shaper, who built the greens, bunkers and tees; Glen Peck, Pearce-dale, shaper; Clint Jensen, Rosebud, excavator operator; Stuart Purchase, Mt Martha, seeding and construction; and Pat Hura, St Andrews Beach, general construction.

“It would be great for the work these guys did building one of the world’s best golf courses to be recog-nised,” Mr Oliver said. “They did an incredible job.”

Golf Digest described the Cape Wickham course as one of the “hottest new layouts on the globe”. Editor Ron Whitten described the Cape Wickham

layout as “heart-pounding, starting along rocks and crashing surf, moving inland but not out of the wind, return-ing to ocean edge at the downhill 10th, pitch-shot 11th and drivable par-4 12th, then wandering into dunes before a crescendo closing hole curv-ing along Victoria Cove beach, which is in play at low tides”.

Mr Oliver, whose dream job as a course architect takes him all over the world evaluating courses and consult-ing with developers and designers, said Tasmania had two top 40 courses: Barnbougle Dunes 33 and Barnbougle Lost Farm, 40.

He said Cape Wickham, which opened in late October, had already generated enough custom to warrant extra fl ights to the island, with seven airlines listed online.

He said the publicity was attract-ing “a bunch of US golfers in the top

100” to the island and was confi dent it would exceed their expectations.

“I have been to 1500 courses in 50 countries and this is the best property I have seen, with its pristine coastline, layout, dune structure – and topped off by the tallest lighthouse in Australia overlooking it.

“The locals are thrilled; they’ve had a fair bit of negative publicity over the past few years and the population is less than half its peak.”

Although surprised by the speed at which the course entered the World’s Top 25, Mr Oliver said it was “valida-tion of a quest to bring world-class golf to King Island”.

“Our aim was to leave behind something special that would attract thousands of golfers to the island. All credit goes to [developer] Duncan Andrews for having the courage to invest in something so remote and so

risky, and for entrusting Mike DeVries and I with the design. We were largely unproven.”

Mr Andrews said praise of the course was “naturally very gratify-ing”.

“From day one all involved in the Cape Wickham project knew they were dealing with an exceptional piece of land, and to create anything less than a sublime golf experience would have been disappointing. It is pleasing that this is being formally recognised in a world context by an eminent magazine.”

The par-72, 18-hole course 6150 metres long and as it is a public resort does not have member play. Fees are $150 for 18 holes or $195 all day.

“That’s a popular choice, as many golfers play two rounds a day – in-cluding Premier [Daniel] Andrews,” Mr Oliver said.

AN established Flinders art gal-lery will close on Valentine’s Day (Sunday), with staff citing a shortage of new volunteers and reluctance by customers to spend on art works.

The Studio @ Flinders gallery has been run by volunteers for the past 12 years. But the fi ve-member staff - Judi McCrum, Meredith Merrall, Ruth Pe-tersen, Kaye Price and Kip Turner - are fi nding the going tough and their sense of commitment is starting to wane.

“[The gallery] is all artist-run and people these days don’t seem to want to give up their time,” Ms Merrall said.

The volunteers originally thought others would come in “to take over the running” of the gallery, in Cook St, but that hasn’t happened to the extent needed.

“It’s quite a commitment,” Mrs Merrall said, pointing out that she had worked nine full days, 10am-5pm, over the past month, for the love of it. Now she’s ready for a little ‘me-time’.

Another long-standing volunteer, Kip Turner, said people “are starting to hang onto their dollars and one of the fi rst things they let go of is art”.

“They go to the $2 shop and buy things because they are fi nancially not comfortable,” she said.

The gallery started out with 12 part-ners of whom three remain out of the fi ve now working.

“It’s very hard to get others in but, let’s face it, I’m 67 and some of the others are 10 years older than me.”

Ms Turner said the gallery’s focus had always been on promoting pen-insula artists’ works in leather, wood, paintings and ceramics. “I will cer-tainly miss seeing their work. It’s been

Sad to go: Kip Turner says it had been a privilege to sell peninsula artists’ works. Picture: Yanni

Gallery volunteers reluctantly call ‘time’

fantastic and a privilege to sell.“In Australia we don’t recognise our

artists and it’s hard to get people ex-cited by their works; hopefully that’s starting to change but people are fairly conservative down here.”

Ms Turner said during the past 12 years the gallery had become a fi xture in Flinders and a favourite of locals and visitors to the Mornington Penin-sula.

“The variety of works displayed has

been exceptional and we have shown and sold many beautiful artworks over the years.”

Ms Turner said the gallery’s annual Melbourne Teapot Exhibition had “be-come a regular and much anticipated event on our calendar”.

“Artists from all over Australia par-ticipated and, as well as having many famous potters exhibit, our judges were equally well-known, particularly in the ceramic world.

“The support we have had in the past from the local community has been strong and greatly appreciated by all the members of our team. In addition, the sponsorship we have had from lo-cal companies and businesses has been exceptional.

“Without their generosity and sup-port the teapot exhibition would not have been able to offer such attractive prizes to our participants.”

Ms Turner said the gallery staff

“hoped to go out with a fl ourish and give people the opportunity to come in and say goodbye”.

They are offering a 15 per cent dis-count on works still in the gallery until the 14 February closure.

“We feel very much a part of the Flinders profi le and will leave with a great deal of sadness,” she said. “The gallery has been a passionate and be-loved commitment on our part for a long time.” Steve Taylor

IF you’re one of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who suffer joint pain, osteoarthritis, tendinopathy or bursitis you’ll be aware of how diffi cult it can be to fi nd relief, espe-cially long-term relief. Often benefi ts from treatments for these conditions are short lived or involve ongoing medication or surgery. Long- term solutions are not easy to come by, especially natural ones with proven medical effectiveness.

But thanks to the latest advances in medical science and the partnership between one of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal and sports podia-trists, Dr. Paul Dowie, and some of Australia’s leading orthopedic and regenerative medicine doctors and rehabilitation experts, ‘Joint & Tissue Regeneration Clinics’ has been born.

Regeneration Clinics uses the latest medically proven regenerative thera-pies such as prolotherapy, platelet rich plasma (PRP) and autologous stem cell therapy along with nutrition therapy and exercise rehabilitation to achieve outstanding results in assist-ing healing and regenerating tissues.

Regeneration Clinics has a team of lead-ing experts working together across multiple modalities, to thoroughly assess, diagnose, prescribe, implement and review comprehensive and holistic treatment plans.

“If we can assist the function of damaged tissue, correct and re-educate muscle patterns and identify stresses, defi ciencies, biological weaknesses and sensitivities we can provide all the support the body needs to heal itself, with the help of these wonderful new regenerative therapies.” Dr. Dowie says

“We’ve been able to assist thousands of peo-ple to avoid surgery and harmful medications

as well as help many who’ve previously been told nothing can be done for them. Assisting people to get their lives back through increased mobility and relief from pain, without negative side-effects, is very rewarding,“ Dr. Dowie says.

If you have painful or arthritic joints, injuries that won’t heal, or damaged tissue such as ten-dons, ligaments, muscles or cartilage, ‘Regen-eration Clinics’ just may be your answer.

‘Regeneration Clinics’ are located in Nepean Highway, Moorabbin and Kew East. For ap-pointments call 1300 858 864 or log on to www.regenerationclinics.com.au for further informa-tion.

VETERAN international yachtsman John Houston Buzaglo is known around the world as “Buz” although some of his mates have taken to calling him Sir Buz after he was awarded an OAM on Australia Day.

Now in his 92nd year, the Mornington resident was given a gong for “services to sailing as a yachtsman and [sailing] instructor”.

Buzaglo is best known for co-founding a syndicate that built the world’s fi rst solid-sail racing yacht – it looks like an airplane wing atop a catamaran.

Sponsored by Melbourne-based Nylex Corpo-ration, the C Class catamaran Miss Nylex was built in 1971 and defended the International Catamaran Challenge Trophy (more popularly known as the Little America’s Cup) against New Zealand in 1974. It set the Australian speed re-cord for a sailboat of 21 knots in 1972, beat the best 18-footers in Sydney Harbour, and inspired a revolution in racing yacht design.

(Nylex chief Peter (later Sir Peter) Derham, a keen yachtsman himself, was the man who backed the visionary project in 1971. On the peninsula, Sir Peter, who died in 2008 at age 83, was best known for starting Red Hill Estate winery.)

Buzaglo’s love of boats started as a boy when he and his two younger brothers built canoes to paddle on a creek near their home in the Dandenong Ranges. In a sign of things to come, he once built a glider with a three-metre wing span. He installed the family cat as test pilot. On its fi rst fl ight, the cat jumped out just before it crashed.

In his teens he met lifelong mate John “Jock” Scrivenor, who introduced him to sailing in the summer of 1938-39 at Frankston Yacht Club.

Buzaglo joined the Royal Australian Navy

OAM for yachtie who helped create first ‘wingsail’Mike [email protected]

in 1942 at age 17 and served on corvettes in the Indian and Pacifi c oceans, chasing enemy submarines, removing mines, and escorting sup-ply fl eets. He rose to the rank of sub-lieutenant and was gunnery offi cer on his last ship, HMAS Wagga, which was part of the liberation of Hong Kong.

At war’s end he joined a fi rm called Moulded Products, headed by Melbourne plastics manufacturing pioneer John Derham, Sir Peter’s father. One of the company’s brand names was Nylex, and Moulded Products became Nylex in 1967, later becoming one of the great plastics makers in Australia and giving its name to the world-famous C Class cat.

Buzaglo built his fi rst yacht, a 16 footer (4.8 metres), in his backyard at Cheltenham, and sailed it on Port Phillip with Kath and their two daughters Lynne and Robyn. They were found-ing members of Beaumaris Yacht Club and later joined Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron.

In the 1950s he saw his fi rst catamaran on the beach at Blairgowrie, near where he holidayed each summer with his family, and later bought an XY16 kit from the “father” of cat design in Australia, Charlie Cunningham.

Buzaglo joined the Cunningham team on its C Class cat Quest in the 1960s and with Charlie’s son Lindsay had success in the United States and nearly won the Little America’s Cup in the

United Kingdom in 1965, capsizing when hit by a squall in sight of the fi nishing line while leading the Brits in the fi nal race of the best-of-seven series.

The Cunninghams fi nally won the coveted cup in 1970. The next year Buzaglo and his sailing mates Frank Strange and Chris Wilson founded the Miss Nylex syndicate to take on Quest at trials to pick an Australian defender for the 1972 series.

Miss Nylex performed best but selectors chose Quest as they were worried about the radical wingsail being damaged during the defence against the Americans. The wingsail was designed by syndicate member Roy Martin, who worked at General Motors Holden in Port Melbourne. He was named Australian Yachts-man of the Year in 1974, the fi rst time a designer had won.

Miss Nylex won the right to defend the cup in 1974 and trounced New Zealand’s Miss Stars 4-0. Light winds ruined the 1976 defence off Sorrento and Miss Nylex was beaten by a lighter boat, Aquarius from the United States.

After the syndicate disbanded, Buzaglo fi nished his 32-year career with Nylex Corpora-tion, where he was advertising manager, in 1978 and he and Kath bought a property on Hunts Rd, Bittern, built a lake and started Linden Lake Sailing School, which he operated for 17 years, teaching thousands of children (and some adults) in a safe and controlled environment.

The couple moved to a townhouse within a stone’s throw of Fishermans Beach in Morning-ton about 20 years ago. Until last year, Buzaglo was co-owner of a historic wooden fi shing boat stored at the marina in Hastings and regularly threw a line into Western Port with his mates.

In mid-2014 Buzaglo started his autobiogra-phy, which will be published this year. It’s called A wing and a prayer: how Australian ingenuity produced the world’s fi rst solid wingsail catama-ran and retained the Little America’s Cup.

All abuzz: John Buzaglo of Mornington was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia on 26 January for services to yachting. He is holding a photo of Miss Nylex, the “wingsail” catamaran that revolutionised international yacht racing including the modern America’s Cup. Picture supplied

“SOMEONE cries and asks for help” every time Peninsula Advisory Com-mittee for Elders chair Jeanette Lane and her group run an Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

“People talk about family violence but we think elder abuse is about the second or third most common crime in the world,” Ms Lane said.

“We run programs on elderly abuse at Rosebud, Hastings and McRae be-cause we want to get the message out there and we see and hear about some dreadful aspects.”

Ms Lane was talking in the lead up to

the fourth National Elder Abuse Con-ference, being held by Seniors Right Victoria at the Pullman on the Park ho-tel, Melbourne, 23-25 February.

The topic has special relevance for older residents of the Mornington Pen-insula, where more than 10 per cent are aged over 75 years.

Shire statistics show a greater pro-portion of elderly residents live here than in the rest of Melbourne.

The 2011 Census shows those aged 70-84 accounted for 12.3 per cent of 17,761 people, compared to Greater Melbourne’s 7.4 per cent of 16,400 people.

Those aged 85 accounted for 2.9 per cent of 4197 people, compared to Greater Melbourne’s 1.8 per cent of

3255 people. At 11.7 per cent, Rose-bud West has the peninsula’s highest proportion of people aged 85 and over.

With the ABC’s Libby Gorr as MC, the conference aims to bring together practitioners seeking a national ap-proach to tackling elder abuse. Its theme is Ageism, Rights and Innova-tions.

Speakers are federal Attorney Gener-al George Brandis, Age Discrimination Commissioner Susan Ryan and Profes-sor Marie Beaulieu, of Quebec, an ex-pert on elder abuse. Other speakers are Professor Mick Dodson, of the Centre for Indigenous Studies, ANU, and Dr Jacqueline Berman, of New York, who will speak about the impact of elder abuse on older peoples’ mental health.

Seniors Rights Victoria says more than 90 per cent of all elderly abuse cases are by a relative. About 67 per cent of that abuse is by children.

Ms Lane said she and a colleague, Evelyn Webster, “never stopped the whole time we were there” when run-ning an elder abuse awareness program at Rosebud Plaza last year.

She described pleas for help from elderly people being physically, emo-tionally and fi nancially abused – often by their children – as “mindboggling and frightening”.

“In one case, an elderly Rosebud man had been forced to live in the shed when his son took over his house. In another, two grandparents had been forced out of their home by their

grandchildren with just the clothes on their backs and were living on the fore-shore,” Ms Lane said.

“In one instance an elderly Morn-ington woman had gone to the bank only to fi nd that her account had been cleaned out by her live-in son: she went home and abused him and told him not to touch her money. This was a positive action – not passive accept-ance of the situation,” Ms Lane said.

“She stood up to her son and was strong – that’s the key to beating it.”

Positive-ageing summits will be held this year at Rosebud, Hastings and Mornington.

Anyone experiencing elder abuse can get help from Seniors Rights Vic-toria, 1300 368 821.

Talks to help elderly abuse victims


LETTERS

Waste of energyIt seems ludicrous in this day and age that a coun-cil can develop a comprehensive “strategic” plan over the past 20 months, yet come up with only two solutions: keep fi lling up the Rye tip or export the problem somewhere else.

What a triumph of timidity and short sighted-ness. No wonder the councillors are at logger-heads.

Irrespective of these two options, both of which incur additional expense for ratepayers, neither addresses the issue of greenhouse gas emissions. It makes Mornington Peninsula Shire's much vaunted zero emissions strategy a complete non-sense.

The Municipal Waste Strategy points out that waste contributes 48 per cent or 16,976 tonnes of CO2 emissions. This will not change.

The same strategy tells us that street lighting and electricity contribute 9689 tonnes (28 per cent) and 7023 tonnes (20 per cent) respectively, totalling 48 per cent.

Waste, street lighting and electricity costs make up 96 per cent of the shire's emissions and this means an estimated $25 million of ratepayer rev-enue literally becomes CO2.

The council has completely ignored waste to energy technology in its strategy.

A consortium of councils in Western Australia signed off on a $400 million project, the Kwinana thermal waste facility, funded partly from federal and state governments. It will reduce the amount of landfi ll by using thermal technology to incin-erate waste and convert it into energy. It seems quite obvious that this technology would achieve two things for the shire: reduce greenhouse gas from waste and reduce greenhouse gas from elec-tricity and street lighting.

Using our domestic waste to produce electric-ity and reduce emissions would seem an obvious solution. There are winners all round, not least the ratepayers.

How about it, Mornington Peninsula Shire, will you update your waste strategy with this common sense solution? Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

Waste is wasteMornington Peninsula council has a "carbon neu-tral" policy (why?) and by closing the Rye tip nearly half of the shires' carbon gas emissions will be eliminated (“Council backfl ip over tip's future", The News 2/2/16). What a hoax.

Any intelligent person could see that peninsula residents will still be producing the same waste and that if it is transported off the peninsula the carbon gases are still produced elsewhere.

Similarly, our mayor [Cr Graham Pittock] en-lightened by his free trip to the Paris talk fest, wants lots of wind power generators on the pen-insula. My mind questioned his sanity but now I understand: all that wind power generated will allow "carbon credits" for the peninsula so that it could eventually have "zero carbon emissions".

This great, worldwide, carbon emissions fraud has gone far enough. Our council should get away from grandiose ideals which are beyond its ken or scope and stick with the functions that councils were created for in the fi rst place.

Only when the world reverses its relentless, exponential, fatal, population growth (expanding market) will we know that governments are seri-ous about reducing carbon emissions.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Halt charge schemesMornington Peninsula Shire Council continues to extract thousands of dollars over and above an-nual rates by imposing special charge schemes on unsuspecting residents, usually for footpath construction.

There is absolutely no prior consultation. You receive a letter from council indicating you will have to pay thousands of dollars for your share of the cost, even if most of the residents in your street don’t want a footpath.

These insidious charges are likely to become more widespread as the state government limits annual rate increases to CPI and the council con-tinues to live beyond its means. If council cannot afford to build a footpath from rate revenue then it should wait until it can.

A bill from council for thousands of dollars can be devastating for young couples paying off hefty mortgages, retirees on fi xed incomes and anyone experiencing fi nancial pressure.

Lack of consultation has recently led to bitter disputes in Somers, McCrae and Sorrento. In the Coppin Rd, Sorrento, footpath scheme the design ignores so many safety issues (known to

local residents) that risks to pedestrians will actu-ally increase. This is despite the proximity of two schools and a pre-school centre.

Incredibly, the footpath ends at Nepean High-way opposite the front beach, where family groups armed with umbrellas, eskies and other beach essentials attempt the hazardous crossing.

There should be a moratorium on the use of special charge schemes until council gets its act together and devises genuine consultation strate-gies that take the community with them.

Until then, these schemes and the councillors who support them, will continue to attract the contempt and opposition they deserve.

Geoff Allen, Sorrento

Footpath alertThe network footpath scheme in Somers has been handled with utter contempt for ratepayers. The two most needed paths, Camphill Rd and the end of Lord Somers Rd, would normally be paid by the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and were existing high priority paths. By adding ex-tremely low priority paths into a network, council has included almost all ratepayers in Somers in a special charge scheme and tried to sell the idea as benefi cial to all when it is clearly of little or no benefi t to most.

Many people live far away from the paths and some already have formal paths and will be forced to pay again.

According to the Somers Residents Association secretary Ray Mc Hutcheon in his submission to council the council underwrote information sent by the association to all ratepayers. Much of this information was incorrect and council is now charging Somers Ratepayers $750,000 on the du-bious claim that most residents want wide con-crete paths slashing through roadside vegetation. The rest of us ratepayers will contribute another $750,000 toward the $1.5 million scheme.

Shame on council offi cers for their lack of transparency and consultation and for allowing the SRA to spend ratepayer’s money on some-thing that misled the trusting citizens of Somers.

David Gill, Balnarring Beach

Misinformed over pathsWhy did Council Offi cers fail to properly inform ratepayers about the true nature of the proposed Somers Path Network Special Charge Scheme before the formal notifi cation to ratepayers?

Mornington Peninsula Council had many years to clear up the misinformation that was sent out with its assistance. It permitted the spread of in-formation in surveys and petitions that infl uenced people into believing [the Somers footpath] to be a very different scheme than the one now pro-posed.

Many people were, and still are, confused, and many still seem to believe the misinformation that was widely circulated.

The council has done nothing apart from the formal notifi cation to correct these misconcep-tions or to correctly ascertain community views.

Anne Kotzman, Somers

Gravel is goodThe existing gravel pathways in Somers, on a sandy soil base, are never maintained and do a great job; any assessment would prove both their suitability and durability.

Why does Mornington Peninsula Council want to construct a network of wide concrete path-ways, which is out of keeping with the character of a quiet coastal village?

If some pathways are necessary, why not keep them informal and prevent unnecessary tree re-moval?

Modern disability vehicles are able to handle level informal pathways very easily if road cross-ings are given some attention.

A gentler solution is warranted to attend to the perceived safety issues rather than the sledge hammer approach proposed.

Pam Bannister, Somers

Attention welcomeOne wonders who is “Out of touch” (Letters, 2/2/16). Cr Andrew Dixon of Briars Ward ex-presses concern at the lack of community infra-structure and cost of transporting Mornington Peninsula’s waste. He has been in offi ce for three years and, fi nally, his new found concerns for ratepayers and their costs is welcomed.

Since his election the shire has increased its revenue from rates and charges by a massive 25 per cent. In that time rates have risen three times more than the cost of living and increases in wag-

es. No doubt Cr Dixon will strongly support the state government’s initiative of capping council rates next fi nancial year.

The ratepayers and residents of Briar's Ward will recall that after the last local government elections Cr Dixon overlooked his "no costly Rosebud ($40 million) pool" mandate from his Briar's Ward electorate and voted in favour of such a pool on the Rosebud foreshore when a much cheaper pool could have been built inland.

Cr Dixon also indicates that the shire has 192 kilometres of coast to manage. This is incorrect as most of the coast is Crown land and is the respon-sibility of the state government. The shire man-ages only a relatively small section of foreshore on behalf of the government, including camping areas for which it receives fees to offset its costs.

Cr Dixon and the other two Briars Ward coun-cillors have been slow in keeping us ratepayers up to date with the progress of the fully state funded CCTV system promised four years ago for Mt Eliza. Where is it and when will it be fully func-tional?

At the next election the residents of Mt Eliza and Briars Ward deserve a councillor who can make a difference and see out all the shire meet-ings instead of heading for the door when faced by contrary opinions.

Ian Morrison, secretary MorningtonPeninsula Ratepayers’ Association

Homestead applaudedWhat a wonderful surprise. The National Trust's McCrae Homestead is faring well. Last year's ad-verse publicity prompted me, as a local resident and long-time supporter of the homestead, to visit and see for myself how it is operating for visitors.

The volunteers working at the property last weekend were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The galleries honouring and displaying the his-tory of the McCrae and Burrell families are su-perbly presented. Artefacts, costumes, original paintings and photographs documenting the lives of the residents are exhibited in excellent fashion, giving a real insight into the 19th and early 20th century way of life here on the peninsula.

The homestead itself is an example of the foresight and labour of Georgiana and Andrew McCrae in creating a pioneer home using the rudimentary building methods of the 1840s. It is well-preserved and contains a rich and fascinat-ing collection of the furniture, paintings and other chattels which Georgiana and her family brought from Scotland to their "mountain home" in Mc-Crae.

So this beautiful National Trust property, rep-resenting a microcosm of 19th century life in the heart of modern McCrae, is a real treasure and well worth a visit. It is open 11am-4pm Sundays and appointments may be made for other times.

Jenny Williams, McCrae.

Ugly entryRather than wasting shire funds by sending coun-cillors to Paris, how about addressing the heat banks mushrooming around Mornington? I think the ugly, high density, commission style housing currently being built in Barkly St (near the Coles car park) is a disgrace.

Not only does the three-storey boundary to boundary concrete mass occupy 95 per cent of the ground surface area, but the heat bank this mass will create could raise ambient temperatures in the area by 2-4 degrees.

There is no space for tree planting (there is no open space), no provision to capture water run-off from the expansive roof surface area and it will prove to be the ugliest gateway to Mornington imaginable.

Who is responsible for allowing such housing developments, such visual pollution and signifi -cant contributors to the climate concerns voiced by our councillors. Kate Philip, Mornington

Worth investigatingIn reply to Kate Philip (“Beach behaviour’, Let-ters 26/1/16) I did not mention anything about the damage to Shire Hall Beach having anything to do with the recent pier works but, now that she mentions it, it is interesting to note that the dam-age has occurred only since the installation of the wave wall.

I wonder how she can be so sure that the recent pier works have had nothing to do with the very signifi cant erosion of sand from the beach? I Also wonder why Ms Philip seems to be so keen to dismiss the damage as being due to “just cycli-cal wave and weather work”. How can she be so sure?

I have been using this beach for more than 40

years and I’ve never seen it in the state it is now – which happens to be just after the installation of the wave wall.

Surely it is worth investigating whether the wave wall may be a signifi cant causative fac-tor. There may have been sections of Shire Hall Beach which have been rocky in the past and ne-cessitated her grandmother using her “swimming shoes” to enter the water, but this particular sec-tion of the beach about which I am concerned has been an excellent swimming beach for at least the last 40 years.

This is no longer the case and surely it is worth trying to fi nd out why. Neil Gilbert, Mornington

Please explainI wonder if the MP for Flinders Greg Hunt would be able to give me an explanation why it is neces-sary to keep children in detention in our various concentration camps and other prisons?

He is my federal representative and I would like to hear his personal justifi cation or why he doesn’t speak out about this inhumane state of af-fairs.

I don't need the offi cial party spin from the im-migration minister, I want Mr Hunt’s personal opinion. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Emissions increaseIn response to Greg Hunt MP for Flinders and Environment Minister (“Australia ‘on track”, Letters, 26/1/16) his attempt to reassure residents we are on track fails to point out the targets place Australia at the very back of the pack and are so low we will meet them even as emissions con-tinue to rise.

Recently, the minister embarrassingly fell on his own sword, telling ABC TV’s 7.30 program that the Yale environment performance index was a world leading climate indicator – to which we agree. Well, the Yale index just dropped Australia 10 places, ranking his policies among the worst in world in the category of climate and energy.

We are now ranked 82nd in this category, with only Saudi Arabia worse than us.

Over the past decade nearly every country has improved its score, except Australia, which under [the federal government’s] Direct action [policy] has increased its CO2 emissions. We are going the wrong way and it’s no surprise we ranked al-most last in the world at the Paris climate talks.

How much longer should peninsula residents put up with such consistent failure by the minister to manage our environment, our economy and our future?

Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens

Lack of interestEvelyn Taylor (“Track already beaten”, Letters. 2/2/2016) comments on a range of charges be-ing changed by the federal government. What she doesn’t do is say how all the activities she wants fi xed are to be paid for. Anyone can make a list but it requires a thinking person to identify a solution.

The reason these changes are being made is be-cause the Rudd-Gillard government left a fi nan-cial mess. The usual result from such a govern-ment.

The Turnbull government is having to cope with $20 billion budget defi cits, a national debt of over $300 billion and a monthly interest cost of this debt of almost $1.7 billion. Think how much this debt is going to cost taxpayers when interest rates return to 5-6 percent.

In the meantime, Evelyn should think how eas-ily it would be to do all the things she lists if $1.7 billion was available to pay for these items.

Guns, drugs countsGuns, drugs countsA SEAFORD man who police allegedly found with a sawn-off shotgun, ammunition, air rifl e and a small quantity of the drug ice appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, Wednesday, charged with possession of unregistered fi rearms and possession of a prohibited drug.The 32 year old, of Lorna St, was remanded to reappear at the same court on February 22.


For over 30 years, Dr John Albery has been putting smiles on the faces of clients across the Mornington Peninsula, and continues with his boutique clinic, Dental Studio 2-Twenty.“With a combination of professional experience and the latest technology, we pride ourselves on providing

each and every one of our customers with excellence in restorative and cosmetic dentistry,” says Dr Albery. “With very few exceptions, we can handle all of your dental needs in-house. That means you won’t have to waste time waiting and travelling for a referral. Instead, we provide everything you need in our modern

practice and at an affordable price.”Dr Albery opened Dental Studio 2-Twenty 18 months ago, to offer the unique boutique dental service to the peninsula. “I started working as a dentist back in 1982 in Frankston and have always worked on the Mornington Peninsula. In 2007 I packed up and

went to Ceduna on the Nullarbor Plain to work in aboriginal communities,” says Dr Albery, who ended up staying there for four years. “I helped to set up a government clinic there and then came back to Mornington where I have opened my new practice, after encouragement by friends and relatives.”

Dental Studio 2-Twenty offers a boutique dental experience, with the latest technology, a brand new surgery, state of the art equipment, and the bonus of three decades of experience treating people.

Dr Albery has undertaken advanced training in crown, bridge and implants dentistry, and completed his Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy in Myofascial Acupuncture. He is a founding member of the Australian Society of Dental Aesthetics and a founding member of the Peninsula Headache Clinic.

“As a professional team, we pride ourselves on our excellent customer service, as well as our expertise and state of the art dental technology. When you come to Dental Studio 2-Twenty, you don’t just get the very best in restorative and cosmetic dentistry – you get a fast, friendly service, personalised to suit your needs and budget,” says Dr Albery.

Dental Studio 2-Twenty is a practice focused on advanced cosmetic and restorative dentistry, and we can help with everything from restoring worn and broken down teeth to replacing missing teeth with dentures, crowns, bridges or dental implants.Dental Studio 2-Twenty is at 2-20 Bruce Street, Mornington.Phone 5973 6611.www.dentalstudio220.com.au

From Mornington with love

THIS immaculate two-storey residence with bay glimpses is set within private low-maintenance gardens that embody relaxation whilst offering multiple zones for refi ned alfresco entertaining. Cocooned within a private street, close to Fishermans Beach, this striking residence creates a grand fi rst impression with a decked walkway and double timber doors framing the entrance. There is a separate study or fourth bedroom to the right as you enter, and a splendid formal lounge opposite features integrated cabinetry and opens out to a wrap-around deck with an undercover lounge area and adjoining courtyard dining that is shielded

within the private garden surrounds. Large windows fl ood the interior with natural light and bring the garden view right to you. There is internal access from the double garage via the laundry and two established bedrooms – one with a walk-in robe, share the downstairs bathroom. Upstairs, and the main open-plan living and dining room is positioned to frame the bay with café doors opening to a glass framed wrap-around balcony that has a remote awning for shade, and with the sound of the waves and the blue waters of the bay in the background you have the ultimate sound track for summer dining. The glamorous kitchen is well-

equipped with a commercial grade stove by Ilve, there is a stainless-steel dishwasher, twin sinks that look out to the bay and dazzling stone benchtops. The luxurious main bedroom is also privately ensconced on this upper level and features a stunning, fully-tiled ensuite with spa, and a large walk-in robe. Impeccably detailed and beautifully appointed throughout – the polished fl oorboards across both levels are amazing – this home works wonderfully well with seamless integration between the indoor and outdoor zones ensuring both levels of the home act as one.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Poll to establish electric lightingPoll to establish electric lightingCompiled by Melissa Walsh

IN the 139th list published last week the name of Private Frayne, of Tyabb, appears among those who are ill.

***MR Alf. S. Wesley notifi es his friends, through our advertising col-umns, that he has secured a renewal of license for an extended term, of Kirkpatrick’s Hotel, on the Espla-nade, Mornington.

***IN response to a request from the committee of the Somerville show, Major Campbell has altered the date of the sale of furnishings at “Ames-fi eld Park” from Wednesday, 15th March, (that being show day) to Monday, 18th March.

***THE monthly meeting of the Somer-ville Fruitgrowers’ Association will be held on Monday next, February 14th, in Somerville Hall, at 8 p m. Show, and other matters will be dis-cussed.

***THE monthly meeting of the Frankston Progress Association is called for Wednesday evening next in the Mechanics’ institute. The meet-ings have been allowed to lapse dur-ing the holiday season, but the mem-bers are now requested to attend this meeting, and commence work for the year.

***A public meeting, under the auspices of the Red Cross and Progress soci-eties, was held at Balnarring, on 5th

inst, to discuss ways and means to-wards entertaining a contingent of wounded soldiers at the beach, in March. Mr S. Perron acted as secre-tary. Ex-councillor Davies was in the chair.

***ANOTHER of the old identities of Frankston passed away on Tuesday last, in the person of Mr. William Davey, who died at his son-in-law’s residence, Malvern, after a short ill-ness, at the age of 73 years. He was born at Gardiner’s Creek, and came to Frankston as a boy with his parents, residing at Davey’s Bay. He was formerly owner of the Bay View Hotel, Frankston, and while in business made many friends by his generous and obliging disposition. He leaves a widow and four sons and four daughters by his fi rst wife to mourn their loss. The remains were buried in the Frankston cemetery.

***A surprise party, consisting of a num-ber of members of St Paul’s Club and choir, Frankston, journeyed to Chelsea, on Thursday night, to visit Mr and Mrs Will Gregory, late of Frankston. During the evening a number of games were played, and at supper a presentation of a handsome biscuit barrel was made. The oppor-tunity was taken to present a tea set to Mrs F. Benson on behalf of St Paul’s club and choir.

***AT the Frankston Court of Petty Ses-sions on Monday last, J. F. Phillips was charged by the police with reck-

less driving of a motor car on 21st January last on the Point Nepean road. The bench was occupied by Mr Cohen, P.M., and Messrs Crawford, Oates and Grant. J’s.P. Jas Cottier gave evidence that he was riding home from work on his bicycle on the evening mentioned, and when near the mile bridge, he heard the toot of a horn, and got off the road on to the sand on his right side, but before he knew anything more the car had run into him; smashed his bicycle up, and severely injured himself. He was rendered unconscious, and was bruised from head to foot. This evidence was corroborated by H. M’Comb and D. Kelly, who were also returning from work at the time. The defendant tried to show that it was Cottier’s fault that the accident occurred, but the Bench decided that the case had been proved, and im-posed a fi ne of 60s with 9s costs. Mr Secombe appeared for the defence.

***AT the annual meeting of parishio-ners of St Paul’s, Frankston, it was announced that the ordinary contri-butions for last year had slightly in-creased as compared with the previ-ous year, but that the funds were poor on account of no concert having been organised during the year. The Wardens for this year are Messrs J. Reynolds (Hon. Sec.); P. Wheeler (Hon. Treas.); and C. V. G. Williams. Six other men were also elected to act on the Vestry, viz :— Dr Maxwell and Messrs A. Bailey, T.

Deane, J. C. Garrood, Geo. May and Scarborough. It was decided to work for a big Eas-ter offering this year, also a proposal was carried to organise a conversa-tion at Easter time and so develop the social life of the Church more fully.

***BEFORE the war ordinary English paper cost 1¾d per lb. ; now it costs 2¾d. In addition to this, freight has more than doubled. The packing was free; now it is 32s 6d per ton. Art pa-per was 4d per lb., now it is 6d. Imita-tion art paper was 2¼d and 2½d; now it is 3½d and 4¾d. Calendar paper has raised from 2¾d to 4½d. Ordinary news printing paper has increased by 40 per cent. Heavy in-creases have also taken place in writ-ing papers, cards, pasteboards and all printers sundries. Sulphide papers, used for wrapping, have risen 100 per cent.

***GOOD morning ! Have you paid your subscription yet ? Perhaps you owe for last year or several years. Now, you understand we don’t need the money; we have hundreds to get. But really it is an imposition to let people go carrying our money when we are so strong and healthy, and so abundantly able to bear the burden ourselves. For this reason we ask anybody who has any of our money in their possession to leave it at the offi ce, or send it by post, freight, train, express, or any other way, just so long as it gets here. Silver and gold are heavy, and it

would be a matter of life long re-gret to us if anyone should get bow-legged, carrying it about for us.

***WE again call the attention of our readers to the fact that a poll of rate-payers will be held at Frankston, Somerville, and Hastings, on Thurs-day, February 17th, to decide whether an Order-in-Council shall be granted to the Frankston Gas Company to al-low them to establish Electric Light and Power throughout the Shire of Frankston and Hastings. The advantages of electric light are numerous. The public lighting will be more effi cient and more economical. The gas company will take all risks, so that the establishment of electric lighting will not cost one penny of the ratepayers’ money. Gas will con-tinue to be made by the Company and no one need, unless he or she desires it, use the electric light, as gas will be supplied privately, as heretofore, if required. The Council hope that a good mus-ter of ratepayers will poll their votes for electricity. The method of voting is peculiar. The law demands that an answer “Yes”’ or “No” shall be made to the following question “Do you desire to forbid the granting of an Order-in-Council to the Frankston Gas Company.” Those therefore who wish to have the electric light must cross out the word yes.

Reading ready: Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Cr Graham Pittock with Cr Antonella Celi, chair of the Peninsula Reads Committee, Lorni Landrigan with sons Brax and Ryder, Ben Felder, Kate and Lucas Masterton-Bojang, Heather and Jaxon Taylor at Rosebud library.

WHAT’S NEW...

FAMILIES will celebrate all that’s good about reading at the Peninsula Reads Family Fun Day, Village Green, Rosebud, on Sunday.

The day will show what is happening with books on the Mornington Peninsula and offer a range of free activities, resources and takeaway books.

Entertainment will suit families and the day will showcase how the community embraces and supports reading and literacy.

Activities include sliding on the infl atable Ju-rassic Park, or patting a real lizard or crocodile. Those preferring little furry creatures can join the petting zoo. There will be a sausage sizzle and live entertainment by school children and dance clubs.

Create your own boomerang, have your body painted with henna or glitter, and join in the fun with free “Life Be in It” games.

Dromana CFA will demonstrate a live rescue by cutting up a car at 12.30pm.

“Peninsula Reads is designed to improve literacy levels of families across the shire,” the mayor Cr Graham Pittock said.

“Its collaborative approach supports and involves families, early childhood services, schools and the community at large – all of whom have a role to play in promoting literacy and ensuring access to resources that promote literacy development.”

Peninsula Reads committee chair Cr Antonella Celi encouraged families to come along. “The Australian Book of World Records is offering us an opportunity to have the most people reading a book at the same time,” she said.

“Those attending can also take home a free Disney book and CD. So grab a book, enjoy the activities and celebrate the many fun things about reading,” she said.

Peninsula Reads Family Fun Day is 10am-2pm, Rosebud Village Green, 932 Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud foreshore (opposite 9th Av).

A rock music fan’s guide to modern etiquetteA rock music fan’s guide to modern etiquetteBy Stuart McCulloughIT’S a tough job. Being the opening act for a bigger, more popular band is much like being invited to a really wonderful party only to have all the other guests ignore your attempts to engage in conversation. You take to the stage brimming with enthusiasm only to be confronted by rows of empty seats because half the audience has chosen to have dessert rather than turn up on time. If you’re lucky, the evening will end with you raiding the band rider but not much more. Such is the lot of a support band.

Brisbane group The Grates were an ideal choice to support The Flaming Lips. In singer Patience Hodgson, they have a not-so-secret weapon whose enthusiasm was not merely palpable but luminescent and prone to leaping off the stage, seizing unwit-ting patrons by the shoulders before giving them a good shake. She took to the stage wearing what I can only describe as a mumu made of tinsel. It was obvious that The Grates had not turned up solely to pick the eyes out of the catering before taking the rest of the night off. They were making a real effort to entertain.

It’s at least ten years since I’d last seen The Grates It was at the Corner Hotel, Richmond, and they were supporting a British band that has long since receded into obscurity. I’m not even sure if they’d released their fi rst album. But they were energetic and engaging, just as they were all this time later. However, some things have changed in the intervening period. Ten years ago, people went to concerts to watch. Now it’s an

arm wrestle for attention as the act on stage does everything they can to distract patrons from staring at their mobile phones.

He was sitting two rows ahead of us, a couple of seats over. His mobile phone had a face bigger than Bert Newton and its aura of unwelcome illumination proved an aggressive distraction. I don’t blame him for

bringing a mobile phone to a rock concert – my own was in my pocket at the time – but I cannot for the life of me fi gure out why he would sit there and play with it whilst a group was on stage doing all they could to entertain him. Here, now, were The Grates; dressed like the love child of Grug and a box of Christmas decora-tions, and this dude was ignoring

them completely in favour of his mobile phone.

I appreciate that times have changed, really I do. That the pace of modern life is such that people must remain connected at all times, lest a highly amusing cat video be released without their knowledge. But this guy wasn’t doing anything useful. Because the screen was about the same size as the electronic scoreboard at the MCG, I could see what he was doing. He started scrolling through something that, because I do not wish to give it even a skerrick in the way of free publicity, I shall refer to as “FaceHole.” From there, he seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time looking at Seinfeld memes, focus-ing in particular on those featuring George Costanza.

Granted, it’s certainly possible that these were not the colossal waste of time and general pimple on the backside of humanity they appear to be. For all I know, this guy has made the study of Seinfeld memes and their relation to, I don’t know, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, his life’s work and what seems to a neutral observer such as myself to be stultifyingly stu-pid is, in actual fact, part of a deeper commitment to unlocking the eternal mystery of the human mind. On the other hand, he could simply be a jerk.

On stage, the band pulled out all the stops. Super-douche, as I had begun to think of him, checked his messages and sent some emails. Armed with half a bag of Maltesers, I gave serious consideration to sending a few chocolate missiles his way, followed by a barrage of verbal

abuse. There is, I feel, no sign of opprobrium less ambiguous that a small piece of chocolate in the back of the head followed by a few choice words. However, keen both not to overreact and to preserve the few remaining snacks I had, I decided to keep my thoughts and the Maltesers to myself. I did this partly because I am, in essence, a peace-loving guy and partly because, I assumed, his rudeness would be confi ned to the opening act and, surely, would cease, once the headliners appeared.

As it turns out, I assumed way too much. The Flaming Lips are one of music’s greatest spectacles, with confetti cannons, giant space-balloons and an infl atable Catfi sh forming part of the show. These, however, are no competition for Seinfeld memes. He remained glued to his phone through-out, pausing only for a moment to lift it above his head and fi lm part of the performance, presumably to remind himself at a later date than he had, in fact, attended.

The only other time he seemed to pay any attention to the events around him was when a giant space balloon bounced on top of his head and he glanced up, looking annoyed. He probably went home frustrated that his night of meme exploration was interrupted by music.

I should probably have told him all this. But I’m sure that, had I done so, he would merely have shrugged his shoulders and answered me in the words of Mr. Costanza, ‘Well the jerk store called and they’re all out of you.’ Touché, George. www.stuartmccullough.com

Importantly, many of us are not comfortable attending large impersonal TAFE Colleges where we become another number.However, we all want to realize our career potential. Ongoing work is important, and skills in industry sectors where employment opportunities continue to grow will always increase our prospects of gaining worthwhile, industry specific employment.

There is another way. True Blue Mates (TBM) is a private College (RTO) and as such provides many benefits to students not always available through some other training facilities. Career qualifications offered are identical to TAFE College courses. Qualifications delivered by TBM meet exactly the same quality standards as any other learning institute delivering competency based training and assessment. These qualifications are nationally recognized and are valid in all states of Australia.

PROVINCIALBy IT GullyLANGWARRIN caused one of the upsets of the 2015-16 MPCA Provincial season on Saturday when it knocked over top-of-the-table Peninsula Old Boys.

However, it was the other end of the Peninsula that had tongues wagging.

MPCA and Sorrento superstar Anthony Blackwell had fi gures of 4/16 overnight against Pines.

He fi nished with all 10 wickets, bowling 16.2 overs and fi nishing with 10/41 to help his side to a 24-run victory and maintain fourth place on the ladder.

The loss to Peninsula Old Boys was also a talking point.

There is little love lost between Langwarrin and POB and it was fi tting that the match went down to the wire.

The Old Boys seemed untouchable

coming into the clash and heading for the fi nals, however, the young Kangaroos held their nerve throughout and won by 13 runs.

Chasing 267 for victory, the Old Boys were cruising at 0/80 with Dylan O’Malley (64) dominating and Wade Pelzer (20) playing a strong supportive role.

However, Pelzer was run out and O’Malley followed a short time later. All of a sudden the Kangas were back in the game. In a blink of an eye, the visitors went from 0/80 to 6/150.

Mal Coutts and Nathan Volpe answered the call before the skipper Travis Campbell himself got amongst the wickets.

Glenn Prendergast (28) and Jon Forrest (51) gave the Old Boys every chance when they added 60 runs and took the score to 248, however, Prendergast was run out and Forrest became one of Matt Prosser’s three victims (3/63 from 22.2 overs) to grab

victory in the fi nal over.Whilst it’s a tough ask, the

Kangaroos still give themselves every chance of playing fi nals. They must get an outright win against Rye in Round 10 to have any chance.

Sorrento successfully defended its poor fi rst innings score of 116 to beat Pines and remain in the top four.

The Piners were resuming at 4/39 on day two of the clash on opposition turf and only one run was added it became 5/40.

Ricky Ramsdale provided some wag in the tail end (35), but Pines were all out for just 92 in 36.2 overs.

Anthony Blackwell was the star and kept the Sorras in fourth place.

Somerville went close to an outright victory over Moorooduc but the Ducs were able to hold out.

The Ducs made 133 in their fi rst dig and the Eagles resumed at 0/25. Craig Black blasted 82 and Brad Rossborough hit 60 as the Eagles

declared at 2/222 after just 35 overs.Moorooduc was 7/53 at one stage

with Jack Kennedy (3/40) and Matty Roach (2/24) claiming wickets.

However, Michael Whincup (22) and Cameron Bailey (24) knuckled down and got the job done for the Ducs, batting out the remaining 49 overs and fi nishing at 9/117.

Crib Point made tough work of beating Mornington.

Chasing 108 for victory, the Magpies resumed at 0/11. But they scrambled in the end, settling on 143.

It was enough to claim the all-important 12 points and maintain second position on the ladder.

Brad McDonald was the pick of the Mornington bowlers with 3/12 from seven overs.

Baxter picked-up a solid win against Long Island.

Defending 9/217, Baxter was able to bowl Long Island out for 167.

Dale Irving claimed 2/18 and Ben

Brittain 3/37, however, it was man of the match Chris Brittain who added 4/41 to his 122 runs.

Simon Dignan top scored for the Islanders with 46.

Baxter (68) is now 12 points clear of Long Island in fi fth place, just four points behind Sorrento.

The Islanders are now locked with Mornington, Pines, Langwarrin and Moorooduc on 56 points.

Mount Eliza claimed the win against Rye, however, the Demons were spared yet another outright loss.

After making 9/249 on day one, Mt Eliza tried to bowl Rye out twice on the second day.

They rolled the Demons for 69 in the fi rst innings and had them three down in the second innings.

Paul Coldrey claimed 5/19 and Justin Grant 5/14 in the fi rst innings and one wicket each in the second dig.

DISTRICTBy IT GullyBADEN Powell are in a slump after losing their second match in as many rounds on Saturday in MPCA District cricket.

After dominating for the fi rst seven rounds of the season, the Braves have been knocked over by third placed Pearcedale and on Saturday, against the top of the table, premiership fancies, Red Hill.

Red Hill were restricted to 200 in their fi rst innings on the wide-open expanses of Overport Road Reserve, but were always in the box seat to defend that total.

The score proved to be far too great for the Braves, given the enormous bowling lineup of the Hillmen.

Baden Powell were bowled out for just 103.

Jamie McCall was at his best with 4/7 from six overs, the skipper Simon Dart claimed 3/38 from 16 overs and Glen Collett picked-up 2/45 from 14 overs.

Elia Carter top scored for the Braves with 27.

Pearcedale were able to successfully defend 151 to beat Heatherhill.

With fourth place on the ladder on the line for the Hills, they were in a strong position coming into day two at 2/74.

Jake Theobald (17) and Tyler Neal (43) were the not-out batsmen at the crease and they both fell within a run of each other after adding a further 25 runs to the overnight score.

It went pear-shaped for the Hills after that, losing 8/44 and being bowled out for 142.

Shayne Gillings and Kaine Smith claimed 4/48 and 4/20 respectively while Sam Frawley picked-up 2/19.

Seaford are 12 points clear in fourth position on the District table after beating Boneo.

Ali Mortaza was the star for Seaford with 77, while Paul Hartle opened with 43.

Jack Beale scored 60 runs,

including fi ve fours and two sixes in 87 balls for Boneo in the second innings.

All Seaford players other than keeper Faisal Payenda bowled at least three overs in the second innings.

Delacombe Park failed to get the 266 runs required to beat Carrum, winding up their 2015/16 season.

The Parkers were still half a chance to play fi nals had they have beaten the Lions, however, they fell 37 runs short.

Craig Blight hit his highest score of the season for the Parkers with 84.

Lachy Dobson claimed 3/54 from 20 overs and Tom Burgdorf also helped himself to 3/62 from 23/1 overs.

Seaford Tigers made light work of scoring the 208 required for victory against Main Ridge.

Skipper David James scored 100 and Ash Mills hit an unbeaten 135, including 18 fours and 4 sixes, to fi nish the afternoon at 4/274.

Flinders couldn’t get the 321 needed to beat Mt Martha.

The Sharks are in fi fth place on the ladder at the end of Round nine, a game behind Seaford.

On Saturday, it was always going to be tough to get 321. They needed at least one batsman to score a century.

Tom Clements got 58 and Mitch Stansborough scored 55, while Simon Parrott hit 37.The Sharks needed another big contributor, but couldn’t fi nd one.Brett Wilkinson was the pick of the Reds’ bowlers, with 3/34 from 12.2 overs, while Michael Clavin, Jake Smart and Kyle Bendle picked up two wickets each.

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT GullyTHE 2015/16 MPCA Sub District season is going to go right down to the wire after the conclusion of Round nine on Saturday.

Whilst the top two positions on the lad-der have been tied up for some time with Dromana on 104 points and Hastings on 94, the real battle sits from third to sev-enth.

Carrum Downs is currently in third place on 66 points and Rosebud is hang-ing onto fourth place on 60 points. These two sides clashed in Round nine and it was the Cougars who came out victors by 39 runs. Rosebud would have given themselves a 12 point buffer in third place with a win.

Now the Buds are hanging on for dear life with Frankston YCW also on 60 points and Tootgarook and Ballam Park just a game further back.

In the fi nal two rounds of the season, Rosebud faces Hastings at home and then plays Skye in the Round 11 one-day fi x-ture to end the home and away season. The Buds have to beat Hastings this round and should be too strong for Skye.

Frankston YCW hosts Skye in Round 10 and fi nishes with Balnarring in the fi nal round. You would say the Stonecats are favorite to win both of these matches. On Saturday, the Stonecats were able to score 9/152 against Tootgarook after resuming at 3/5 overnight, chasing 143. It was a confi dence-booster for the Stonecats with Matty Lane dragging them over the line with his best hit of the season (95).

Tootgarook is in sixth place and now a game outside of the top four. A win

against YCW would have them right in the mix.

The Frogs host Balnarring in Round 10 and play Tyabb at the pond in the fi nal match of the season. A betting man would also have Tootgarook winning two from two.

The other side in the mix is Ballam Park. The Knights smashed Balnarring on Saturday after scoring 251 in their fi rst innings and bowling out the Saints for 157 (they resumed at 4/38). The Knights play Tyabb and Carrum Downs in the fi nal two matches. It will be a tough ask to beat the Cougars, who have to play Dromana this round. A loss here would see Car-rum Downs having to win the fi nal game against Ballam Park to play fi nals.

The Round 11 one day game between Dromana and Hastings should be very in-teresting, given they just may meet again on the fi nal match of the season.

The Blues went within one wicket of picking-up an outright win against Skye. Defending 217, the Blues bowled out Skye for 58 and had them 9/123 in the second innings.

Luke Hewitt, Liam Bradshaw and Isuru Dias all claimed three fi rst innings wick-ets, while Bradshaw and Dias claimed two second innings wickets, as did Mitch-ell Floyd.

Dromana easily beat Tyabb. Defend-ing 211, the Hoppers rolled the Yabbies for just 86.

COUNTRY WEEKBy IT GullyTHE Mornington Peninsula Cricket Associations Provincial and Division Two teams struggled in the Country Week championships.

The Provincial team lost its opening two matches against Geelong and Bendigo, the eventu-al grand fi nalists, before opening their account against Sale-Maffra on day three of the carnival.

It lost its fi nal match of the tournament to Warrnambool.
