Back in black – and red and blue WORK has begun on a new mural at Kingston City Hall. Melbourne artist James Beattie is spray painting a Kingston area timeline on the in Moorabbin hall’s car park wall. The timeline will include a picture of legendary AC/DC singer Bon Scott to commemorate the time the rockers played a gig at the former Moorabbin Town Hall in 1974. Beattie uses a projector to beam his design onto the wall and then paints images using the projection as a guide. It is a tricky project due to pipes on the wall. The projector provides invaluable help to Beattie. “It makes the job so much faster since I know it’s going to all fit in,” he said. “I know the scale is right and it’s a good way of working.” Visit www.facebook.com/KingstonArtsAU to follow the mural project’s progress until completion.

Trail tale winds on Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au
THE long and winding road to decide the exact location of the first stage of Kingston’s Bay Trail between Charman Rd and Mentone Life Saving Club may be coming to an end. However, the trail still faces a rocky
road before completion, after eight years of council and community debate, amid conservation group claims that Kingston Council’s final round of community consultation regarding the Bay Trail had been extremely limited. Mordialloc Beaumaris Conservation League secretary Mary Rimingston said council had declined to provide
access to the detailed plans for the construction of the section of the Bay Trail, a decision she said was “undemocratic”. The group is frustrated that just one option to build the Bay Trail along the specified strip of Beach Rd has been presented by council for consultation. Councillors voted in May last year
PENINSULA FIREPLACE CENTRE BEST PRICES ALL YEAR ROUND
to proceed with a “back of kerb” plan to build the trail which will be used by cyclists and walkers, after a “period of comprehensive community consultation”. The back of kerb plan released for consultation would, if it proceeds, remove 1500 square metres of foreshore and vegetation to clear a path
for the Bay Trail. A second back-of-kerb option that would see the section of Beach Rd between Charman Rd and Mentone Life Saving Club narrowed to accomodate the bay trail without the need to “cut in” to the foreshore was not put out for consultation. Continued on Page 7

Perfect start for ‘super students’
Litter clean up LITTER will be cleaned up on Kingston beaches as part of a State Government Litter Hotspots project. A $9000 funding contribution will be made to Kingston Council as part of the $100,000 Litter Hotspots project helping beachside councils and community groups remove litter and cigarette butts that wash up on shorelines. Removing litter prevents it entering and potentially blocking waterways. Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford welcomed the funding. “It gives Kingston a helping hand to clean up waterways and deliver positive outcomes for the environment,� Ms Wreford said. Visit www.mwmg.vic.gov.au/local-government/litter/litter-hotspots-project for further information.
PARKDALE Secondary College students Montana Leveque and Arielle Cathcart have begun their final year at school with great expectations. The duo achieved perfect scores in Unit 3-4 studies while in Year 11 last year, each recording 50 out of 50 in VCE/VET Sport and Recreation. They have also been recommended for a Premier’s Award. Their perfect scores were two of three recorded in 2013 at Parkdale Secondary. Principal Greg McMahon said the girls are “some of many super kids� at Parkdale Secondary. “They’ve both managed to balance school work with extensive participation in sports and leadership programs,� Mr McMahon said. Both girls are part of the school’s student leadership team.
Fatality after crash AN elderly woman died in hospital following a two car collision in Mentone last week. The 83-year-old Highett woman was a passenger in one of the vehicles involved in the collision at the intersection of Swanston St and Patty St at about 2.45pm on Wednesday 12 February. Police advised the woman passed away on Monday 17 February. The fatality takes Victoria’s provisional road toll for 2014 to 39, up from 31 at the same stage last year. Witnesses to the Mentone incident should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au

School’s field of dreams Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au COUNCILLORS backing a planning scheme amendment that could open up Mentone Grammar’s playing fields in Keysborough to residential development have justified the move as “logical�. The News contacted councillors Geoff Gledhill, Tamsin Bearsley, Ron Brownlees and John Ronke about their support for the proposal. Council’s green wedge consultant Planisphere recommended the playing fields remain within Kingston’s green wedge zone in its Kingston Green Wedge Plan, which was completed in 2012. However, Cr Geoff Gledhill said he believed the area should be converted to “an appropriately zoned residential� area. “It’s logical to include that land since its utilisation is limited from the school’s point of view,� Cr Gledhill said. Cr John Ronke said he had last spoken to Mentone Grammar about the Keysborough playing fields “about 18 months to two years ago� when he was mayor. He said that at the time, the private school had been considering selling its land in Keysborough and relocating its playing fields to Heatherton. However, he added that Mentone Grammar “may have changed their
mind since then�. The News revealed last week that Mentone Grammar had made a late submission to Planisphere as it finalised its green wedge report in August 2012 for council consideration (‘Land plan puzzle’, The News, 12/2/14). Kingston council kept the submission confidential. The News understands the elite private school asked for its Keysborough playing fields to be included in the Urban Growth Boundary, moving the land out of Kingston’s green wedge. This would open up the land for potential residential development. Kingston council initally advised The News that the school’s submission was no longer confidential but then refused to confirm the nature of the submission. Council acting CEO Paul Franklin, on the advice of council’s freedom of information officer, said Mentone Grammar should be consulted about any release of documents or any discussion about contents of the submission. Mentone Grammar principal Mal Cater said “communications� between council and the school were “confidential� and he would not comment “in fairness to all parties�. Cr Ronke was more open about the possible future use of the Keysborough playing fields.

“It’s a very good school and better use of the land would place them in an excellent position,� he said. He said the Kingston community could also benefit since land was currently under used. Cr Ron Brownlees said Kingston council could buy some of the land but added that this had not yet been discussed. He echoed the thoughts of fellow councillors supporting the land rezoning proposal who believed it would be good for the community since the land was “under-utilised�. Cr Brownlees stressed “nothing would happen� until after the planning scheme amendment was considered by state Planning Minister Matthew Guy. Council officers are preparing a planning scheme amendment for the Planning Minister’s consideration. “Even then, it would come back to council for debate and council officers would prepare a report on the matter,� Cr Brownlees said. Cr Tamsin Bearsley said she made the decision to back the proposal “from a planner’s perspective�. She said converting the area to a residential development zone “made sense�. “Council officers would still have a look at it but I’ve never been keen to see a commercial zone along that strip of Springvale Rd,� Cr Bearsley said.

MORE than $15 million is on offer for rainwater and recycled water projects, via the Victorian Government’s Living Victoria Fund. Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford said the initiative aimed to secure the state’s future water supplies, keeping future water costs down and ensuring neighbourhoods remained green and liveable. “It makes sense to use rainwater and recycled water for tasks like watering gardens or flushing toilets, instead of using our valuable high-quality drinking water,� Ms Wreford said. Funding can help community groups, education institutions, sporting groups, businesses and councils to fast-track water projects. Applications close at 2pm on 17 March 2014.

Cr Gledhill said a lot of the green wedge was “open, unmanageable space that’s unusable�. “It’s a contentious and complex issue and we [council] will never achieve anything there unless there is compromise from everyone concerned,� he said. All four councillors said they had not had any communication with Mentone Grammar about the playing fields since the school’s submission was submitted. Mayor Paul Peulich voted against the proposal in September last year, citing concerns about “transparency�, abstained in December after becoming mayor in October, and decided not to use his mayoral “casting vote� to back a rescission motion last month. Crs Tamara Barth, David Eden, Steve Staikos and Rosemary West voted against the planning scheme amendment. Mr Franklin advised The News that “council officers have not discussed Mentone Grammar’s green wedge plan with them�.

LETTERS Wedge future ‘irony’ PLANS such as Mentone Grammar’s scheme to have land rezoned so that the school’s playing fields could be opened up for residential development and sold at a healthy profit of $60 million, certainly adds misinformation and ‘untruths’ surrounding the future of Kingston’s green wedge due to a lack of transparency (‘Land plan puzzle, The News, 12/2/14). The proposal was not openly discussed at council. During the long community consultation period Planisphere recommended that Mentone Grammar land remain within the green wedge. The rezoning of the playing fields suddenly appeared at last month’s council meeting - the first that the public knew about the scheme. Cr Gledhill, one of the five councillors who voted in favour of the sale of Mentone playing fields, obviously fails to understand that the long term plans for Kingston’s green wedge was retention and rehabilitation when waste disposal ceased operation in the area. How ironic that Cr Gledhill should be so intent on seeing residential development in the green wedge when it was the Liberal Premier Rupert Hamer in 1977 “who decided that farming and natural landscape were to be retained in the eight green wedges around Melbourne because the
proximity of natural landscape is an important criterion of city structure.” Mary Rimington, Mordialloc Beaumaris Conservation League
Wedge dilemma YOUR article (‘Land plan puzzle’, The News, 12/2/14) deals adequately with the dilemma and conjecture facing the future of our Green Wedge. However, Cr Geoff Gledhill in his letter to The News refers to some of the Green Wedge as an “eyesore”. Green wedges were formed by Rupert Hamer’s Liberal government to act as the lungs of the city. They also mitigate flood waters and purify existing streams and keep rampaging climate change temperatures down. The most important function of the Green Wedge is to enhance the most important chemical reaction know to mankind: photosynthesis. This process can only take place through trees, shrubs and other plants. The “eyesores” should be rehabilitated by this sort of planting thus “fixing them”. The creation of open green areas for active and passive activities is critically important for physical and emotional health in a population caught up in the frantic overcrowded struggle of modern existence. As for “untruths”, councillor Rosemary West has fought for
years to find solutions to our Green Wedge dilemma, both publicly and privately realising that rezoning for development will absolutely degrade the original design intention. The exhaustive Green Wedge community consultation showed conclusively that the citizens wanted their Green Wedge preserved for environmental purposes forever. Our stewardship is on trial. Do we rise to meet this protracted expensive challenge, or signal to future generations that we did not care enough to fight for their future? Wal Grahame, Mordialloc
Vision blurred CR Gledhill had me nodding in agreement with his vision for our Green Wedge land to incorporate a chain-ofparks, wetlands, etc. (News 12 Feb). However I fail to see how his support of rezoning Green Wedge land to be sold off to developers is going to achieve this. I would like to see the agenda and justification of the pro-development councillors, but an honest disclosure seems unlikely.

Speeding menace: Jet ski riders often flout personal water craft restrictions along Kingston beaches and Patterson River.
ight n y a d r :30pm 9:3 satu
Jet-ski hoons ‘could kill’ Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au KINGSTON beachgoers fear it is just a matter of time before jet-ski riders who fail to observe designated swimming zones maim or kill someone. Eyewitnesses told The News that jet-ski operators were seen regularly straying within a ‘Swimming Only’ zone at Edithvale beach on Saturday 8 February. Parks Victoria implemented the Swimming Only zone directly in front of Edithvale Life Saving Club in June last year as part of a move to improve safety across Port Phillip and Western Port by introducing new boating and swimming zones. Jet skis can still be operated along the foreshore within 200 metres of the beach either side of the Swimming Only zone but must not exceed a speed of five knots. Water police sergeant Mark Greenhill said patrols will continue to crack down on personal water craft (PWC) users who do the wrong thing along bayside beaches, as part of Operation Colossus launched in December last year. “It’s been a very successful operation so far,” Sgt
Greenhill said. “We’ve issued more than 200 penalty notices to PWC users and have conducted licence and safety checks on over a thousand vessels.” The operation will continue throughout summer until after Easter. Transport Safety Victoria has warned boaters to slow down. TSV data showed there have been four boating collisions since the start of December last year. TSV spokesperson Paul Corkill said that all boaters have a responsibility to make safety a high priority for the benefit of all waterway users. “Speed and distance are often key contributing factors in boating collisions, many of which result in serious injuries and, in some circumstances, death. “Regardless of where you are boating, you must stick to the speed limit of five knots when within 50 metres of a swimmer or another vessel. You must also keep a proper lookout for other waterway users,” Mr Corkill said.
coordinator Sergeant Arty Lavos said failure to give way, disobeying traffic signals and speeding were among the most common causes of collisions involving cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians. “Many collisions occur at intersections where drivers fail to give way to cyclists or pedestrians, particularly when turning right,” Sergeant Lavos said. “We also see crashes happen when drivers and passengers open car doors into the path of an oncoming cyclist.” He said collisions also occurred when cyclists rode more than two abreast or disobeyed lane markings and traffic signals, putting lives at risk. Pedestrians all too often diced with death by crossing against red signals and away from designated crossings, he said. “We need to change the culture where people believe it’s every person for himself on the roads. This operation is not about casting blame – it’s about raising awareness of the dangers faced by our vulnerable road users and how each of us can contribute to a solution.” Road safety expert Bruce Corben said both drivers and pedestrians needed to take responsibility for their conduct on the road. “Pedestrians, cyclists and others lacking protection in traffic must be highly focused about their responsibilities when mixing with the wide array of vehicle types commonly encountered on city streets,” he said.

Cars don’t have monopoly on our roads, police warn By Chris Brennan KINGSTON’S most vulnerable road users – pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists – are the focus of a major police operation that aims to tackle road trauma. Police from the state highway patrol, bicycle squad, solo unit, local stations and the Operations Response Unit will be deployed to collision hotspots, including the popular Beach Rd route from Port Melbourne to Frankston, in coming weeks to enforce the road rules and promote the safety of all road users. Statistics for road deaths over the past 26 years show that pedestrians were just as likely to be killed on Kingston roads as drivers. Since 1987, 69 pedestrians have been killed on Kingston roads, compared to 70 drivers, 41 passengers, 30 motorcyclists and nine cyclists. Police intelligence also shows that the month of February has proven to be particularly dangerous for cyclists, accounting for more than half of all crashes involving vulnerable road users. Cyclists along Beach Rd fared even worse, being involved in three-quarters of vulnerable road user collisions over the past five years. With the launch of Operation Amulet, police warned that no vehicle had a monopoly on Victoria’s roads – everyone travelling on foot or four wheels, bicycle or motorcycle has the right to travel safely.

Dark side to attractive sunsets WHILE smoke-filled air made for unusual sunsets across Port Phillip from the Mornington Peninsula, it also caused dangers to asthma sufferers. The Asthma Foundation of Victoria said smoke and increased air pollution from bushfires can cause people with asthma to experience symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness or shortness of breath. “Bushfires are not only harmful to homes and property but also to people’s health. We are urging people to ensure their asthma is well managed and they take precautions to avoid smoke and detect any worsening asthma symptoms,� foundation CEO Robin Ould said.

Tips to avoid smoke distress included staying indoors, closing doors and windows, turning airconditioning to recycle or off and keep reliever medication close at all times. Meanwhile, the National Asthma Council Australia warned that some air conditioners and dehumidifiers can exacerbate symptoms.

Bay Trail saga winds on Continued from Page 1 The former state government wrote to council in March 2011 to advise that VicRoads had “no objection” to narrowing the four-lane width of the parallel section of Beach Rd since the outer lanes in the stretch of road are 3.7 metres wide, against a minimum requirement of 3 metres. The state government advised: “Council may choose either option, or a combination of both, to achieve the completion of the Bay Trail.” Ms Rimington said there was no reason why the four-lane roadway could not be narrowed. “It won’t be more difficult to narrow the road there and it would discourage speeding,” she said. “The crown land along that stretch of road is very narrow and too much foreshore will be lost forever if it is cut into.” Councillors decided to put the sole back of kerb out for community consultation in December last year.
Crs Rosemary West and Steve Staikos tried unsuccessfully to extend the deadline for public feedback on the plan until the end of March this year, arguing that the “holiday season” was an inappropriate time to consult since Kingston residents were otherwise preoccupied. Cr Geoff Gledhill said it was “embarrassing” that Bayside and Port Phillip councils had finished their section of the Bay Trail but Kingston council was still locked in debate about the removal of vegetation. Cr Ron Brownlees said it was acknowledged that a small amount of “scrappy tea-tree vegetation” would be removed and narrowing Beach Rd was not viable for safety reasons. “It’s important not to increase the conflict between motor vehicles and bicycles on the road,” he said. At December’s council meeting, Cr Brownlees said the “anti-fun brigade” continued to delay the construction of
Kingston’s Bay Trail. “Most of the opposition to this has been driven by a small group in the community who I suggest have infiltrated some of the other groups,” Cr Brownlees said. “They sit around a table, have a cup of tea and think ‘how can we best hold this up?’...it’s disrupting a process”. Ms Rimington said the Mordialloc Beaumauris Conservation League had asked council to extend the deadline for public submissions on the Bay Trail plan but had not received a response. Visit www.kingston.vic.gov.au/lists/ news/the-bay-trail to view the Kingston Bay Trail Plan. The deadline for submissions to council is Friday 21 February. Where should Kingston’s Bay Trail be built?

Plane down A SINGLE-engine Cessna crashed shortly after take-off at Moorabbin Airport on Tuesday morning at about 11.30am. A pilot and a student pilot escaped without serious injury. The instructor is believed took over the controls of the plane when it became apparent there was a problem. A Metropolitan Fire Brigade commander who attended the crash site said the plane bounced off the runway upon landing and broke one of its wheels. He said the front of the plane was damaged as well as the wings which had both hit the ground as the plane see-sawed. Fire crews laid down a blanket of foam on and around the plane which was leaking fuel. The incident was the second accident at Moorabbin Airport in as many weeks. On Tuesday 11 February a pilot narrowly escaped serious injury after his plane veered off the runway on landing also due to a wheel collapse. Picture: Gary Sissons.

Schools sign on for behaviour upgrade
Day for the green: Aiming to raise $50,000 for hospital emergency departments with a golf tournament on St Patrick’s Day are Rossdale Golf Club manager Tim Hanton, Superintendent Neil Paterson, Blue Ribbon peninsula branch president Darryl Nation and Blue Ribbon committee member Dot Canepa who entered into the spirit of things by donning a leprechaun outfit.
Blue Ribbon goes green for hospitals GOLFERS will be aiming for gold when they tee off in this year’s Blue Ribbon Foundation Golf Day to Remember. President of the foundation’s peninsula branch Darryl Nation said golfers could “win a pot of gold” if they hit a hole in one during the St Patrick’s Day tournament. The Blue Ribbon Foundation perpetuates the memory of Victoria Police killed in the line of duty.
Mr Nation said all money raised would support Frankston and Rosebud hospitals’ emergency departments. “We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by the end of March to give to Rosebud Hospital’s emergency department and establish a memorial for a local police officer who lost his life in the line of duty,” he said. “It is sure to be a fantastic day of golfing with prizes and trophies for
nearest the pin and longest drives.” Fields in the 18-hole stableford event tee off at 8am and 1pm with a shotgun start. The $80 entry includes lunch or dinner, refreshments and chance to win prizes and trophies. The Blue Ribbon Foundation Golf Day will be held at Rossdale Golf Course, Sixth Ave, Aspendale, on Monday 17 March. For details, call Ron Nation on 9775 5978.
By Chris Brennan TWO Kingston schools will join an international push to create safe and supportive learning environments by addressing bullying and improving behaviour. Dingley and Cheltenham East primary schools have signed on to the internationally acclaimed School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support program along with 68 other Victorian schools. Anti-bullying expert, University of Connecticut professor George Sugai, last week launched the program, which he said was not a curriculum, intervention, or practice, but rather a “decision making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioural practices for improving important academic and behaviour outcomes for all students”. Education Minister Martin Dixon said the SWPBS program was an important platform in Victoria’s push to ensure safe, supportive and inclusive school environments. “We know that students and teachers perform best when they are in positive school environments, and that’s why this program is so important,” Mr Dixon said. “This program is proven to support schools to stop bullying, improve learning, increase students’ social skills and improve staff morale. “The Victorian Coalition Government committed $1 million to give these 70 schools the opportunity to take part in the program, and I’m con-
fident the schools will embrace the program wholeheartedly.” Two-day workshops run by Professor Sugai and University of New England’s Natalie Swayn will held at the Arts Centre. Ms Swayn led the implementation of SWPBS in Queensland and has provided extensive training in SWPBS right across Australia. Professor Sugai also worked with more than 240 experienced SWPBS practitioners last week to explore the role of coaching schools to implement SWPBS. Sixteen ‘mentor’ schools that are already running SWPBS will support the 70 schools starting the two-year program -with each mentoring a number of schools. Both the mentor and mentee schools have received grants to support the program, $20,000 and $4,500 respectively. Results of a previous three-year trial of SWPBS in Victoria showed that it led to reduced behavioural issues and bullying, improved learning, improved student social skills, improved staff awareness of student wellbeing concerns, a calmer school environment, and improved staff morale. Mr Dixon said SWPBS was one of a wave of Victorian Coalition Government reforms to improve the wellbeing and engagement of students and staff at Victorian schools. “The Victorian Coalition Government wants all Victorian schools to be safe, supportive and inclusive places, and that is why we are rolling out a raft of new resources, programs and supports for schools,” he said.

TRAGEDY AT TYABB
System fails but police stand tall By Chris Brennan CHELSEA police had an opportunity to detain killer dad Greg Anderson three weeks before he murdered his son Luke Batty at Tyabb last week but failed to do so because they were unaware of warrants out for his arrest. Chief Commissioner Ken Lay admitted police had spoken to Anderson on January 27 about an assault at a Chelsea Heights address where he had been living since mid-last year but failed to execute warrants issued two weeks earlier due to computer processing delays. A total of five warrants were issued for Anderson’s arrest after he failed to appear in court in mid-January on charges relating to a series of domestic violence incidents against Luke’s mother, Rosie Batty. But Mr Lay revealed it takes two weeks for such notifications to appear on Victoria Police’s trouble-plagued LEAP computer system. “If police would’ve gone to that address a day later, those warrants would have been visible,” Mr Lay said. However, Mr Lay said he was not “blaming an IT system for the death of a young boy”, stressing it was only one small part of a “very complex issue”. At the heart of that issue is domestic violence. Anderson had “terrorised the family” for many years, Mr Lay said, adding that there were “thousands of Lukes” and “thousands of Rosies” across Victoria. “Hopefully [Luke’s murder] will be a watershed in improving the way we respond to these issues, for not only Victoria Police but the broader community.” Anderson had been forced to leave the house in Chelsea Heights several weeks before murdering his son after allegedly threatening to kill his housemates. He had moved to a Frankston rooming house where he was living at the time of his death. Ms Batty said she did not in any way blame police for failing to prevent Luke’s death or for the fatal shooting of his estranged father. “The police do the best they can. They are under-resourced, they can’t locate people,” she said. “There’s nothing to be gained by blame and hate… This is about understanding how desperate the situation family violence is and you need to do something about it with everybody.” Senior police said the four officers at the centre of last week’s tragic events in Tyabb appear to have done everything they could to defuse the situation and would be forever affected by the ordeal. Two units from Mornington police station were the first officers to arrive at the Tyabb cricket ground shortly after 6.20pm last Tuesday. The four officers would have had little idea of the horrific situation they were about encounter. What they were confronted with was the battered body of a young boy and a highly agitated and aggressive man covered in blood and armed with a large knife. Moments earlier, he had threated ambulance officers. Now he was turning his hostility on them. While the exact circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting of Luke Batty’s killer, his father Greg Anderson, are subject to several ongoing investigations, it appears police had little option

but to open fire. An interim police investigation suggests Anderson had planned in advance to go to the Tyabb sports ground to kill his son and then commit “suicide by cop” by forcing police to shoot him. Witnesses said Anderson, armed with a large kitchen knife, had shouted “shoot me” as he rounded on the four police officers. The officers attempted to talk to him, telling him to drop the knife. They then tried to subdue him with capsicum spray. When this failed, and with Anderson now running toward them, one of the officers fired a single shot into his chest. Even this failed to stop him, with police having to use physical force to subdue the mortally wounded killer. He died about six hours later at The Alfred hospital. Mornington senior sergeant Ron Barbary said the four officers, who were all currently on leave, had been confronted with a situation that all police dreaded. “It’s not often a police officer ever has to even draw their firearm in the line of duty, let alone a situation like this,” Senior Sergeant Barbary said.
“People are changed forever by things like this but they will receive all the ongoing counselling and support they need to help them get back to their jobs as soon as possible.” Police Association secretary Greg Davies said the officers had been placed in a “horrific situation” and appeared to have had little option but to open fire. “It’s a police officer’s worst nightmare to see a young tacker apparently murdered by a man who turns out to be his father, who then advances on you with a knife,” Senior Sergeant Davies said. “[The police officers] appear to have done everything possible to avoid this outcome; he’s already killed his own son and there’s potentially dozens of other children in the vicinity.” Commander Doug Fryer said initial evidence suggested police had acted in accordance with their training. “It was certainly a dynamic situation. They were confronted with a critical incident and they used the options they thought best,” he said. Ms Batty was also supportive of the police, extending her sympathies to the officer whose hand appears to have been intentionally forced by Anderson.
AN online charity fund in honour of Luke Batty has been set up by friends of his mother, Rosie, to ensure some good comes from the tragedy. ‘‘For Rosie, her strongest belief is that something good can come out of this,’’ said close friend Jane McGrath, who has set up the Luke Batty Fund on gofundme.com Ms Batty’s compassion and dignity in the face of the tragic loss of both her son and former partner have been a source of admiration. She has highlighted the issue of domestic violence while being careful to explain that her estranged husband had suffered a long-term, undiagnosed mental illness. “What triggered this was a case of his dad having mental health issues; he was in a homelessness situation for many years, his life was failing, everything was becoming worse in his life and Luke was the only bright light in his life. “And what I want to share with you is, I’m the victim of family violence and if anything comes out of this, I want it to be a lesson to everybody.” Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service chief executive Annette Gillespie said the “senseless and tragic loss of life” highlighted how urgently the issue of family violence needed to be addressed. “Everyone loses out in family violence. A mother has lost her child and an entire community is in mourning. The impacts of family violence are devastating and far reaching,” she said. Ms Gillespie said it was important for the community to understand that acts of family violence very rarely occurred as isolated or random incidents. “We see too often cases where abuse has continued or even escalated after family violence offenders become subject to intervention orders. “When slapped with family violence intervention orders, offenders feel a sense that they are losing control so they may intensify their violent tactics in a bid to regain control over their victims. Family violence is very intentional and is part of a systematic pattern of abuse to maintain power and control over victims.” Ms Gillespie said killing children was often a father’s act of punishment directed at the children’s mother. “The intention is to harm the mother and the killing of the children is just another form of family violence. It is the ultimate expression of power and control within the relationship.” She said that in cases where fathers had killed their own children, there was often a history of violence and abuse toward the mother. “We also see many cases of men blaming mother for divorce or separation. They justify the killing of their children with the idea that their partners drove them to do it.” For more information about family violence, call the Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service’s 24-hour crisis line on 1800 015 188.

AROUND THE REGION
Arson attack FRANKSTON detectives are investigating a series of arson attacks in the Frankston North area after three vehicles were set alight in the space of a week. A resident in Warrawee Circuit awoke to an explosion about 1.40am last Monday and discovered two of his cars parked in the street engulfed in flames (pictured). The following day, another car was set alight around the corner in Dalpura Circuit in the early hours of the morning. Police believe the incidents are linked. The attacks follows two house fires in the area that are also believed to have been deliberately lit. A house was destroyed in Aleppo Cres early in morning on Saturday 25 January, while a second house in the same street was set alight late last year. However, it is not known if the latest arson attacks on the vehicles are linked to the house fires. Pictures: Gary Sissons

Architect-designed beach house an icon CHANCELLOR and Patrick were two of the most celebrated architects of the mid-20th Century. Their contributions includes the halls of residence at both Monash University and La Trobe University, and institutional buildings such as St James Presbyterian Church in Wattle Park and St Johns in East Cheltenham. They were also known for several residential projects, including McCraith House, perhaps better known as the Butterfly House, and St Elmoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which is a brilliant modernist example from the two masters of Australian architecture. Literally metres from the famed Butterfly House, St Elmoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s takes in glorious 180-degree views of Port Phillip and enjoys a serene position high on the hill overlooking the beaches of Dromana. The home has been renovated but this has been sensitively done, with a range of original features retained. Set on about 844 square metres of land, the property is defined by the powerful connection to the outdoors with vast picture windows and stacked sliding doors providing the perfect conduit to the magical outlook. Dramatic stonework and floor-to-ceiling Tasmanian oak doors lend texture to the timeless design. Spread over three levels, the top floor provides open-plan living and dining, while a full wall of windows afford views spanning the bay. A fabulous retro kitchen has been updated with contemporary stainless steel appliances including a freestanding Smeg oven and cook top and a dishwasher. From here, sliding doors lead out to a sheltered balcony. Also on this level are main and guest bedrooms with a renovated bathroom and powder room. A second bathroom on the first floor services two more bedrooms, and there is also a light-filled family room. Private seaside gardens complete this perfect location, while a cantilevered carport and return driveway provide parking for six cars.

AROUND THE REGION
Cultural get-together on national day HISTORY, different cultures and religions came together during a dinner to celebrate Australia Day held by the Langwarrin-based Ahmadiyya Muslim Association. MPs, councillors and senior police were among 150 community leaders and representatives at the dinner on Saturday 1 February, nearly a week after the association joined the Australia Day parade in Melbourne. The association’s Baitul-Salam (House of Peace) mosque is in the renovated former Leisureland Fair theme park, off North Rd, which closed in 1992 with much of its surrounding land being subdivided for homes. The dinner began with a recitation from the Quran and its translation in English followed by formal acknowledgement of the traditional owners of the land and the National Anthem. Rehmat Samiullah, the Australian Muslim Association’s Victorian secretary for external affairs, gave a brief history of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community and its humanitarian services. Guest speakers spoke about the association’s role, including interfaith dialogue, blood drives, Clean Up Australia Day and Red Cross door knock appeals.
Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor told diners Frankston Council, Melbourne Water and the Muslim association were partners in building a “Harmony Creek” picnic and recreation area next to the Muslim centre. Member for South East Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich described Ahmadi Muslims as “really a beacon of the Islamic religion because it doesn’t only shine the very best course of Islamic faith but also, I think, the underpinning philosophy that integrating into the society or the nation in which you live is so important to your success”. Cranbourne MP Jude Perera said he admired the “conduct” of the association “and also how much they have integrated into the mainstream of Australia”. “This is a great news story that will allow the local community here to go jogging around the creek area, have picnics and the area would be enhanced and beautified for the community to use,” he said. “I think it’s just a great example of how the mateship and giving back comes into play. Frankston Council is proud that you have called Langwarrin home and we look forward to further partnerships in the future.” Keith Platt
Dine out: At the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Australia Day dinner were, from left, Holt MP Anthony Byrne, South East Metropolitan Region MP Inga Peulich, Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor and Muslim association president Javed Safder Chaoudhary.
Changed use: The old Leisureland Fair at Langwarrin is the headquarters of Ahmadiyya Muslim Association and its Bait-ul-Salam (House of Peace) mosque.
Free region bus service extended
Passengers: Elliott Reid, Mandy Di Marzio and Louis Brownlee keen to catch the PenBus.
A FREE Mornington Peninsula to Frankston bus service will be extended this year to better meet the needs of students, apprentices, trainees and job seekers looking to get to work, school and job interviews. The PenBus service will recommence from 24 February and will now operate from Rosebud to Monash University Clayton Campus, including stops at Dromana, Safety Beach, Mount Martha, Mornington Bus Interchange, Mount Eliza, Chisholm TAFE Frankston and Frankston train station, Monash University Peninsula campus in Frankston, and Monash University Clayton campus. Mornington Peninsula mayor Antonella Celi said the improvements to the service had been made in response
to passenger feedback. “To be able to offer this service helps support our local community to ‘get to where they need to go’ to take part in education, training and jobs, and it helps to improve the long-term issue of access to education and employment from the peninsula,” Cr Celi said. “PenBus transports passengers to the main tertiary education options in the southern region, and helps people get to and from training and job opportunities with key connections to transport hubs such as the bus terminal in Mornington and Frankston station.” The Shire’s sustainable transport project coordinator, Rita Kontos, said PenBus was open to all tertiary students, apprentices, job seekers and trainees.
“All you need to do is jump onto the shire website and register to start using this free service that’s currently connecting around 118 people to their education and jobs in six round-trips every Monday–Friday,” she said. The Shire has already received applications from around 50 new passengers so far this year. Among them was Mandy DiMarzio who said she would rely on the service to help access work opportunities. “As a future job seeker, I would prefer to use the services of PenBus as it saves me money on petrol, wear-andtear on the car, and bus and parking fees – along with an enjoyable and comfortable ride on a state-of-the-art luxury vehicle,” she said. Regular PenBus user Elliott Reid
said that before the service was introduced, it took him more than two hours to get from his home in Rosebud to university by public transport. “PenBus has almost halved the travel time and the travel time is now comparable to driving,” he said. “Last year I was only able to utilise the PenBus service one day per week due to my university timetable not aligning with the PenBus schedule. Due to the increased frequency of trips this year, I should be able to catch PenBus most days. “The PenBus has allowed me to not need a university parking permit and saves me petrol money. It’s perfect while I’m on a ‘university budget’”. To register for PenBus visit: www. mornpen.vic.gov.au/penbus

Teen hailed hero in beach rescue By Chris Brennan A FRANKSTON South teenager is being hailed a hero after keeping a 17-year-old girl afloat for more than an hour as she slipped in and out of consciousness about 250 metres off Frankston beach last Saturday night. Fifteen-year-old Jackson Smith-Hillier battled to keep the girl conscious and afloat in choppy conditions and complete darkness while awaiting assistance after he swam out to rescue her about 9.30pm. Help finally arrived about 10.30pm when a Frankston police officer swam out and dragged the girl back to shore. On the way back in to the beach, the constable noticed the girl had stopped breathing and administered mouth-tomouth resuscitation while still in the water. The constable, whose efforts were also praised by senior police, was able to revive the girl, before she again lost consciousness near the shore.
Police continued to administer CPR on the beach until paramedics arrived. The girl began breathing again and was taken to Frankston Hospital for treatment. She was released the following day. Jackson was able to swim unassisted back to the shore where his mother, Jarnie Smith, had arrived a short time earlier after being alerted to the drama. “He was very, very sore and shaken up,” she said. “He was frozen to the core and shivering, but thankfully he was able to save this girl’s life. “The police officer rescued her in the end, but if it wasn’t for Jackson putting his own life at risk and holding onto her for over an hour, there wouldn’t have been anyone to save. “He’s a real hero in my book, along with the police officer who brought her back in. [Jackson] didn’t have to swim out there to save her, but that’s the sort of person he is – always there to help
others in need.” Frankston police chief Inspector Bruce Wemyss praised the actions of the police constable and Jackson, as well as those of a second member of the public who had also swum out to try to help the girl. “This situation could have ended tragically if not for the initial actions of the two males,” he said. “I also commend the efforts of the responding police officer who, knowing time was of the essence, entered the water immediately with risk to his own safety in order to protect a life.” The drama began for Jackson when he arrived at the beach with a friend about 9.15pm for a dusk dip after watching a movie at a Frankston cinema. He was alerted to the girl’s plight by a group of her friends on the beach. Jackson, a border at St Patrick’s College, Ballarat, immediately dived in to
help but, when he arrived to bring her back to shore, was met with resistance. “It was a very difficult situation for him to deal with at such a young age,” Ms Smith said. “He had to struggle with her and there was no way he could help bring her back in against her will, so all he could do was stay with her and try to keep her afloat. “He was talking to her at first but after a while she started getting very cold and numb and started to lose consciousness, so he had to try to keep her awake while also trying to keep her afloat. But at least then he was able to start bringing her back into shore.” After about 45 minutes supporting the girl, a second man joined Jackson to help, before the police officer arrived 15 minutes later to take over. Almost a week after the ordeal, Jackson said he was still sore and shaken up, but thankful he was able to help save a life.
Hero: Jackson Smith-Hillier
Sailing in for festival MELBOURNE’S only tall ship, Enterprize, is sailing to Hastings to be at the Western Port Festival for three days, the first tall ship recorded coming alongside the town’s jetty. Enterprize will take members of the public on trips from Stony Point. It will be in Western Port from Friday (21 February) till Sunday and will come alongside the jetty at 7pm on Saturday. The ship’s crew will be wearing period costume and fire a cannon to signal her arrival. Passengers boarding at Hastings will go on a fully catered, sunset cruise and have a grandstand view of festival fireworks at 9.30pm. One-hour day sails will be open to the public on Sunday with the ship open to visitors 11.30am12.45pm. The Enterprize Ship Trust is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to telling the story of the founding of Melbourne in 1835 by John Pascoe Fawkner’s original Enterprize. Fawkner’s Enterprize sailed into Western Port before Port Phillip, but a decision was made to not settle near what is now Hastings because of lack of fresh water.

New bus a family affair
IMAGINE the shock for young Rosie, when she was driving though Cranbourne with her mother and stopped at the lights beside a Cranbourne Transit Bus and there was a two-metre photo of her grandmother, Patricia Williams. Patricia lives at Greenways Retirement Village in Seaford and the village has just agreed to sponsor one of the buses for a year. It features pictures of residents on the side of the bus. Look for it around the suburbs. You won’t miss it and young Rosie has photos of it now.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Cemetery damaged by fires; blacksmith suffers after close call Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 21 February 1914 AN extensive bush fire raged during the past week in the neighbourhood of the Tyabb cemetery, and the cemetery itself suffered severely. The gates and the greater part of the fence were wholly destroyed. The long grass was burnt throughout more than half the area, and in this space all wooden railings. etc. were destroyed. The cemetery has been in a deplorable condition for years, and the shire secretary has almost completed the task of getting things in order. There is now an excellent opportunity for the cemetery trustees to wisely expend the funds in hand and make this God’s acre less of an abomination of desolation. *** MR C. Ralph, employed by Mr J. Jenkins, blacksmith, Mornington, met with a painful accident caused by a steel spark flying into his eye last week. The foreign body was removed at the Ear and Eye hospital, and Mr Ralph is now doing well. *** THE Frankston Brass Band proceeded to Melbourne on Friday, to take part in the A.N.A. Band competitions. We expect our boys to give a good account of themselves. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co. report having disposed of Mr J. D. Waters’ “Blair Athol” property, at a satisfactory figure, the purchaser being Mr Chas Graves, of Mornington. *** MR Arnold Sullivan, who gained
a first class certificate at the recent teachers’ examinations in Melbourne, was formally a Langwarrin lad and his early education was obtained at Langwarrin and Frankston. He is the fifth son of the gentleman who represented the Defence Department at Langwarrin for many years, and was affectionately known as “Sully the Sarn Major.” *** AN unfortunate accident happened to Ernie Sanderson, son of Mr Geo Sanderson of Mornington on Saturday last whilst driving a lorry in Main street. The unfortunate lad was about to hit the horse when it suddenly plunged, and Sanderson was thrown forward, at the same time the horse kicked and caught him full in the face. He was conveyed to the Melbourne hospital Saturday evening, and an operation performed on Monday when it was found that his injuries were not so serious as was anticipated, and we are pleased to state he is doing as well as can be expected. *** AN exciting story was told in Mornington about an escape by a motor load of picnickers from a sudden onslaught of the fire near Mount Martha on Saturday. It is stated that the car, which contained a number of young men and girl’s, was driven off the main road on to a side track. It had not proceeded far when heavy sand was encountered. The party thereupon decided to have lunch before returning to the main road. The ti-tree scrub was very dense hereabouts. The picnickers had just settled down to
lunch, which had been invitingly laid out by the girl members of the party, when one of them noticed a smell of fire. The north wind which was blowing, suddenly became very hot. The picnickers jumped up and ran out on to the track. To their horror they
The dams are getting low, and even the little lake in the orchard known as “Ole Johnnies” is now so low that you may catch the gold fish in it.
saw the road along which they had driven a little while previously a sea of flames on either hand, and sweeping across the narrow path. The fire was rapidly approaching them. There was no time to gather up the edibles or trimmings, as it would be difficult enough to save the car. The engine was started, and all hands commenced to push. At first the wheel’s turned
round ineffectively in the sand, and it was not until a number of branches had been torn off the trees and forced under the tyres that the car could be got to move. It had not gone 100 yards when it again stopped, and the procedure had to be repeated. This time, however, it got some way on, and the pushers were left far behind. The road then improved and the driver waited for the others to catch up. After proceeding for half a mile a large open space, the scene of a fire earlier in the year, was reached, and here the car and party berthed till the fire had died down sufficiently to allow them to retrace their steps back to the main road. The name of the driver of the car was not ascertained. *** THE weather has been very hot and dry, fires have been burning in various parts of the district. One that caused some little anxiety and labor in subduing occurred in Lower Somerville. Mr T. Morrison had some trouble in saving his shed, and Mr Jackson had a hard fight to keep it out of his orchard. *** RAIN continues to hold off, and is likely to do so judging by every indication. Last Monday night, there was a particularly heavy dew, and a lighter one on Tuesday. The dams are getting low, and even the little lake in the orchard known as “Ole Johnnies” is now so low that you may catch the gold fish in it. *** THE first Baptismal services were held by the Rev. C. Eva, church of England Vicar on Sunday at the lo-
cal hall, when a number of parents presented their children to obtain the Blessings of the Almighty. This service on account of being the first public occasion was looked forward to with great interest. *** THE first shipment of timber has arrived in Hann’s Inlet for the preparation of the Naval Base. Great satisfaction is felt on Sir Maurice Fitz Maurice’s report on the Base, as a feeling of discontent has prevailed amongst the local residents, on account of as many men being dismissed. *** FRENCH Island was illuminated by a large bush fire on Tuesday night, making a beautiful sight from the main land. *** THE half yearly general meeting of the “Happy Hour Club” was held at the Tyabb hall on Saturday evening, February 7th. Mr J. Maloney, acting president occupied the chair. Following the usual procedure, the election of officers took place, with the following result: President, Albert G. Borrowman, Vice President, Mr J. Maloney, Hon. secretary and Treasurer, Mr D. Longmuir. Committee: Messrs G. Gibson, L. Girard, G. Slocombe, H. Unthank and H. Sharples. Auditors: Messrs R. W. Slocotnhe and A. Lester. The balance sheet showed a credit balance of £4 3s 11d. A committee meeting has been arranged to discuss a definite programme, with the result it is hoped, of increasing the membership and popularity of the club.

Blogging: the sport of dunces By Stuart McCullough IT is not by accident that the term “blogging” sounds like a human ablution. The results, it must be said, are often startling similar. Keeping a diary is one thing, deciding to share your thoughts in a wholly unfettered, completely unfiltered manner is something best done in power ballad form and not on the internet where other people might actually read it. Frankly, if the excesses of blogging cannot be curbed, then it’s high time we considered abandoning the internet altogether and made the move back to carrier pigeons and telex machines. Previously, technology had what I call inbuilt limits. You had to confine yourself in terms of your message for fear that a pigeon, if overburdened, might plunge into the ocean and leave your missive undelivered. Ramble on too much and your telex message could easily take several days to deliver and result in a phone bill that looked more like the Gross Domestic Product of a medium-sized South American country. Probably Peru. But now the need to curtail personal excess has been dispensed with and oversharing is the order of the day. No thought, no matter how trivial, should be allowed to go unpublished. Granted, there are those who might argue some platforms for what I refer to as “projectile thought vomiting” by their nature impose brevity. No doubt, such brave souls would nominate Twitter and its 140 characters
as a glistening beacon of restraint. Those people are wrong. There’s not much point in limiting the number of characters if you don’t also limit the number of tweets. If users were, say, restricted to sending one message a day, its supporters would have a point. That, sadly, is not the case. Instead, hoards of useless tweets clog up the atmosphere and threaten to block out the sun, thus extinguishing life as we know it. Truth be told, a lot of pretty stupid thoughts pass between my ears on a
daily basis. Can you use sour cream as a substitute for milk in coffee? Is there any risk that gravity might one day start to wear out, enabling us to fly? Would a newly released Schapelle Corby make a decent midfield coach for the Melbourne Football Club? For the most part, I have the good sense to keep these random ideas very much to myself lest I should seem to the world at large to be a complete idiot. But blogging, in its various incarnations, encourages people to
abandon self-censorship in pursuit of content, no matter how useless. Where does the term blogging come from anyway? It’s not like the Earl of Blog decided one night to jump on his laptop during a break in a poker game to share whatever was on his mind. Nor was it found at the bottom of a Petri dish along with a small colony of mould. It must be said, there’s something about the name that just seems wrong. Blogging does not sound like an online diary. Rather, it’s the sound that gumboots make when walking through deep mud in the back paddock. Indeed, as a kid, I would be required to give my boots a wash after blogging up near the chook shed. Back then, blogging was a danger to the carpet but not much else. Perhaps I’m lucky. It would have been disastrous had my every thought appeared on the internet when I was in high school. There’s a very real chance that I would still be repeating Year 9 were that the case. Then again, what I did back then may be a thousand times worse. Rather than blog or keep a diary, I poured my thoughts into songs. Worse still, I decided that the best way to communicate these pieces of emotional spillage was to sing them myself. That I had a voice I’d now describe as “disturbed funk walrus” made things even worse. But being a terrible singer with not very good songs had its upside. It meant there was an inbuilt limit to how much I embarrassed myself.
Just like a carrier pigeon or telex machine can act as a restraint, so too did my natural lack of ability. When I performed, it was usually just to the guy behind the bar being paid $12 an hour. Before then, nobody knew what the singular for “audience” was. Somewhere between finishing my set and wondering whether there was any point in performing an encore, I decided it was probably “audient”. When singing your heart out to an audient, there’s little doubt as to who heckled you partway through the second verse. On reflection, I wasn’t singing, I was blogging. Perhaps I’m just jealous. Maybe I find it difficult to comprehend that something I happen to judge as not being worth very much manages to find so extensive an audience almost in spite of itself. The abandonment of intellectual rigour, to say nothing of conventional grammar – it’s all a little confronting. But that’s okay. Blogging, in one form or another, is one of those human activities to which people are irresistibly drawn – like yawning or picking your nose, it’s is simply a part of life. It may be no bad thing. If nothing else, tapping out your thoughts and posting them in cyberspace may still be a whole lot better than the caterwauling of a funk walrus, performing his self-penned song cycle to an audient in an otherwise empty bar. Blog away. It could be worse. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Baxter in with strong finals chance PROVINCIAL By IT Gully BAXTER is in line to pull-off one of the wins of the season in round 10 of MPCA Provincial cricket. Baxter is looking down the barrel of an outright win against Heatherhill after rolling the visitors for just 85. Coming into the second-last match of the season, Baxter was sitting outside of the top four, albeit equal on points with third-placed Mt Eliza, fourth-placed Langwarrin and sixthplaced Long Island. The loser of the Langwarrin versus Long Island game can kiss the finals goodbye. Mt Eliza was always going to get the job done against Moorooduc and, while Baxter was favourite to beat the Hills, they needed to do it convincingly to improve their
percentage. On Saturday, it was Marc Uccello who did the damage for Baxter. Opening bowlers Adrian Mack and Dale Irving took early wickets to have the Hills 2/3. However, it was Uccello’s 6/30 from 16 overs that placed Baxter in a sensational position. Kristian Miller was the only Hills player to offer any resistance, top scoring with 26. Baxter then batted for 26 overs and clubbed 3/133 before declaring, Shane McComb scoring 59 and Daniel Warwick an unbeaten 51. With nine overs left in the day, Baxter decided to have another crack at the Hills. Dale Irving promptly claimed a wicket, to have the Hills at 1/17 heading into day two. An outright win will guarantee Baxter a place in the finals.
Langwarrin will resume at 1/14 this Saturday after bowling out Long Island for just 141. For the second week in succession, the Kangas had the opposition in all kinds of trouble before a partnership threatened to take the match away from them. Against Crib Point, the Kangas had them five down for less than 50, only to see them score 190-odd and win the game. On Saturday against the Islanders, the Kangas had the opposition 6/78, only to let them score another 63 runs. Michael Chaplin was the difference for the Islanders with 43. Mal Coutts was the best of the Langwarrin bowlers with 3/26 from 20.5 overs while Dwayne Doig claimed 3/34. Needing to face the last nine overs of the day, like the last match, David
Ross couldn’t bat through to stumps, dismissed leg-before off the bowling of Scott Phillips for a duck. Langwarrin does have Phillipsphobia and this could see the Islanders defend their modest total. Langwarrin will resume at 1/14. The other team in the finals equation, Mt Eliza, will defend 265 against Moorooduc. Tristian Faithful scored 80 and Rob Maskiell 45 for the Mounties while Sushant Gupta and Greg Pullen each claimed three wickets for the Ducs. Having to face the last three overs of the day, the Ducs survived and will resume at 0/8. In the battle to avoid relegation, Mt Martha and Rye are locked in an intriguing battle, with the Demons holding the upper hand. Mt Martha batted first on their home deck but could only manage 99.
Darren Groves was superb for the Demons with 4/16, while Tom Barrand claimed 3/19. In reply, the Demons are 3/67, Andrew Hitchener top scoring with 29. The Demons just need to bat for the entire day this Saturday to claim the win. The Reds will be hoping they can pull off a reverse outright. Sorrento star Nick Jewell belted a magnificent 185 against Crib Point on Saturday to help his side to 4/330. Liam O’Connor was there for much of Jewell’s innings, scoring 69. In the final game, Mornington shouldn’t have any trouble tracking down Peninsula Old Boys’ 171. Matt Foon (3/30), Michael Heib (3/40) and Matt Foon (3/30) were the best of the Doggies’ bowlers while Dylan O’Malley top scored for the Old Boys with 74.
Parkers deal a massive blow DISTRICT
By IT Gully TOP-of-the-table Delacombe Park dealt third-placed Somerville a massive blow just three weeks out from MPCA District finals. Playing on the small surrounds of Delacombe Park, the Eagles batted first and were humiliated. At one stage early in their innings, the Eagles were reduced to 3/6. They then stumbled 6/35 before being dismissed for just 78 in 53.3 overs. Sam Delaney scored more than half his team’s runs with 43. No other Somerville player scored double figures. The next best was Jack Barbour with nine runs. There were three ducks. Chris Brittain snared 4/18 while Simon Dignan and Shane Deal each claimed two wickets. In reply, the Parkers are cruising at 1/69, Nick Christides unbeaten on 60. Pines will be looking for an outright win against Ballam Park and at the same time sure up a toptwo spot on the ladder. On Saturday, the Piners batted for just 33 overs before declaring their innings at 4/123. Harley Peace-Stirling top scored with an unbeaten 39 and Brett Hudgson was not out 32 when the Piners declared. Unfortunately for the Knights, they couldn’t survive the remainder of the day, bowled out in the last over for just 91. No doubt the Knights will be sent back in this week before Pines tries to knock the runs over late in the day. Carrum will be doing everything it can to avoid a disaster this week against Baden Powell. The Braves made 222 batting first, with Josh Waldron top scoring with 83 and Sam Mullavey reaching 39. Brett Moulton was the best of Carrum’s bowlers with 4/70, while Shaun Foster picked up 3/8. In reply, the home side capitulated to be 4/17 at stumps. Nathan Rice took 3/5 for the Braves. Main Ridge is in the box seat for a
PAGE 30
big win against Hastings. A game outside the top four, the Ridge needs to win this match outright and hope that Seaford Tigers drop their game against Seaford this week, or their final game of the season against Pines. The Ridge plays Ballam Park in the final game of the season. Pity for them it is a one dayer.
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 19 February 2014
In this match, the Ridge bowled Hastings out for 132, with Scott Millar taking 6/50. In reply, Main Ridge is 1/92, Nick Gage unbeaten on 54. Seaford Tigers look certain to win their match in the local derby against Seaford. The Tigers bowled out their neighbour for just 172, Ash Mills
claiming 4/28. Damien Lawrence played a sensational lone-hand for Seaford with 75. In reply, the Tigers are 0/12. In the final game, Boneo looks set to claim the points over Flinders. Spencer Byatt top scored for the home team with 63 off 124 balls while Chris Jobling hit 44 of 66, including four sixes and two fours.
Despite not batting the entire 80 overs, Boneo made 208. Dwayne Field was the pick of the Flinders’ bowlers with 4/53. In reply, Flinders is in some early trouble at 3/29. Jack Fowler bowled five of the final nine overs and finished with all three wicket while conceding 12 runs.

Skye is falling as Balnarring digs in SUB-DISTRICT
Brenton Taylor shared a 145-run partnership with Walles, reaching 73. With 16 overs left to face on day, Skye lost 2/18 and will have to pull off a miracle this week to reel in the Balnarring total. Frankston YCW needs to take 19 wickets on day two of its match against Carrum Downs this weekend. The Stonecats are one of four teams pushing for a spot in the top bracket
By IT Gully SKYE’S season looks all but over in MPCA Sub District cricket. Playing against Balnarring, Skye bowled first and could only restrict the opposition to 270. Leigh Smith was great with the ball, taking 5/70 for Skye, while Mark Walles was the best with the bat for Balnarring, scoring 77.
