Lest we forget

CHELSEA and District Historical Society chief historian Margaret Diggerson has written a book called The Fallen which collects the life stories of the 59 men from the Chelsea and Carrum districts who lost their lives during World War I. The historian said it was important to recall the fallen’s names and stories for future generations.

“I thought it was such a shame that these men had been forgotten,” she said.

Councils rates rise warning Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au COUNCILS across Victoria have been warned not to gouge ratepayers next financial year ahead of a state government edict aimed at capping rates rises at the consumer price index rate.

Premier Daniel Andrews made a pre-election pledge that councils would be forced to cap their rates at CPI to ensure “a fair go for ratepayers”.

Now Labor has won government, it has emerged its policy will not kick

in until the 2016-17 financial year, potentially leaving the door open for some councils to ramp up rate rises in 2015-16 to offset the future limitations.

Any council wishing to raise rates by more than the CPI will have to justify the rise to the independent Essential Services Commission.

If the ESC rules a rate rise is “unreasonable” the state government can block it.

The CPI rose by 3 per cent in 201314, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics data. Kingston Council’s rates rose by an above inflation 4.95

per cent for the same period, although Kingston rates rises have been trending downwards since a high of 8 per cent in 2010-11.

Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins has written to councils to warn: “unnecessary rate rises in 2015-16 may affect your eligibility for future rate cap exemptions as previous years’ rate rises may form part of the ESC’s considerations of rate cap exemption applications”.

“We want to see councils more accountable, more transparent and more responsible with how they spend ratepayer funds,” Ms Hutchins

told The News. “Any increase above inflation needs to be justified and needs to provide a clear benefit to ratepayers.

“This will come into effect 201617, however I want to be very clear that councils will not get away with jacking up rates this financial year.”

Kingston Council CEO John Nevins advised council had received the letter from Ms Hutchins but “it’s too early at this stage to comment on possible impacts of the rate capping policy”.

“Council officers will be preparing advice on implementing this state

government decision for council to consider,” Mr Nevins said.

The CEO said council “is committed to providing quality services to our community in a financially responsible manner”.

The Municipal Association of Victoria has criticised the Andrews government’s “populist but destructive” policy.

“Rate rise restrictions leave councils with two main choices – reduce services relied on by communities or reduce capital spending to maintain assets,” MAV president Bill McArthur said.

Stressful start to new year?

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au STAFF at Chelsea Community Support Services will know by the end of the week what cuts to expect in their federal grant allocation.

And they’re not expecting any largess, with heavy hitting minister Scott Morrison now moved from Immigration to Social Services.

“We are anticipating less,” manager Anne Catanese admitted. “More and more people are seeking emergency relief through us and we are aware of the stress on those moving from the disability support pension to Newstart.

“There’s a lot of angst out there.”

The service receives support from the City of Kingston, Department of Social Services’ emergency relief, Frankston Magistrates’ Court on an irregular basis and donations from local churches.

“We would like more local businesses to donate too,” she said.

This time of year can be especially stressful for those dealing with financial hangovers after Christmas and the New Year. It can be a lonely experience, too, for those who are depressed or have suffered a family bereavement.

“It can be a bit of a struggle and we’re here to offer counselling and practical advice,” case worker Helen said.

Higher utility bills can also place some people under enormous pressure. The service can try to negotiate a payment plan with companies on a client’s behalf to avert the threat of cut offs.

Back-to-school costs for children,

too, are adding to the strain on lowincome earners. “We can advocate on behalf of those families with schools’ pupil welfare officers to try to provide some relief,” Helen said.

Volunteers at the service have an average 10 years’ experience helping the socially and financially disadvantaged.

Clients’ backgrounds vary - from low-income earners to those who may be “asset rich but income poor”. The centre can also refer people to experts

Water world of discovery THE Edithvale-Seaford Wetland Education Centre is an exciting and hands-on way for children to learn about the wetlands, their history, and the many different birds and animals that live there.

As part of the summer school holiday Citizen Science for Kids program, the centre provides a range of activities where children can explore an interactive map, use binoculars for bird-watching, listen to recorded frog and bird calls - and look at pictures of the frogs and birds making the calls - and investigate water quality and water bugs.

Staff help the children examine the samples and identify which bugs are included.

The public is welcome to visit the centre in Edithvale Rd, Chelsea Heights, every Sunday 1-5pm.

Sessions are run during schools holidays and during term by appointment.

The Edithvale-Seaford Wetland is the largest natural wetland of its type in the Port Phillip and Westernport basins. It is all that remains of Carrum Carrum swamp, which once covered more than 4000 hectares from Mordialloc in the north to Frankston in the south.

When European settlers arrived, this large wetland supported many animals and plants, including brolga and magpie geese, which are now extinct in the area. The wetland was gradually drained for farming and flood protection in the second half of the 19th century.

In 1879 Patterson River was dug through the middle of the swamp to drain its water into the bay.

Edithvale Wetlands, of 101 hectares, and Seaford Wetlands, of 158 hectares, have been retained to provide flood protection.

In 2001 the Edithvale-Seaford Wetland was listed as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention.

Making it a safe start to school year KINGSTON Council and schools will team up again this year to promote traffic safety through the School Traffic Audits program.

The initiative, now in its third year, aims to improve safety around schools during peak drop-of and pickup times.

Nine local schools have taken part in the audits which help address issues including parking, pedestrian and cyclist safety, poor traffic flow and high traffic volumes.

Mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said it is important to manage traffic around schools properly to keep children safe and to minimise traffic and parking issues for local residents.

“We have had great success working with local school communities to ensure every child arrives and departs their school safely,” he said.

“By working together with teachers, parents, students and nearby residents we can help identify and minimise safety issues and create safe schools.”

Cr Gledhill said other drivers should take extra care during peak school times.

“Young children are often unpredictable and hard to see, so please take extra care around local schools and slow down while passing through our 40km/h school zones.”

Don’t feed the beach seals Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au BEACHGOERS are being warned not to feed any seals which wander ashore along Kingston beaches over the summer months.

Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning officers have been advised some people have been approaching seals and feeding them on beaches.

DELWP senior wildlife officer Samantha Moore said “feeding a seal will encourage it to remain in the area”.

“It is illegal to feed seals in Victoria and anyone found to be doing this may be fined.”

Australian fur seals may look “harmless”, Ms Moore said they have “sharp

teeth [and] can be aggressive and cause serious injury if people get too close to them.”

Wild seals may also carry infectious diseases that can be passed on to people and dogs.

Feeding a seal could also ultimately be fatal for the animal.

“Seals often rest on beaches and will eventually move on, but only if people leave them alone and don’t encourage them to stay by feeding them,” Ms Moore said.

“Seals that get used to human interaction can become dependent and aggressive. In these cases, intervention may be necessary to remove dangerous seals from the area – an option which we never want to resort to.”

Victoria’s rules and regulations stip-

ulate people must remain at least 30 metres away from a seal on land and 5 metres away from a seal on a structure such as a jetty or pier.

Dogs must not be allowed to approach within 50 metres of a seal on land, unless on a leash.

The Australian fur seal is globally recognised as a significant species, protected under the Wildlife Act 1975, making it illegal to feed, kill, injure or harass them.

Call the DELWP customer service centre on 136 186 to report anyone feeding a seal on Kingston beaches.

Pup on patrol: This seal pup arrived on Aspendale beach in late 2013 but died after Melbourne Zoo experts were forced to take it into care due to ill health.

KINGSTON’S immunisation nurses are set for a busy school year with major changes under way to help prevent adolescent diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough).

To provide earlier protection from these diseases, the Boostrix vaccine will transition from Year 7 to Year 10 this year.

To ease the move, all Victorian councils will offer the vaccine to students not only in Year 10, but also in years 7, 8 and 9.

From next year, only Year 7 students will be offered it.

Mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said the council’s immunisation nurses would work closely with the area’s 12 secondary schools to ensure students receive the much-needed vaccine.

“This year will be a busy one for our immunisation nurses who are expecting to deliver around 9900 vaccinations - a massive increase on the 5747 vaccinations last year,” Cr Gledhill said.

“But the effort will be well worth it as we work to protect our community from outbreaks of these diseases.”

‘Social justice for all’ the aim Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au NEW Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny has found the community is prepared to give Labor “a go” after winning the seat at November’s state election.

Ms Kilkenny narrowly defeated former Liberal MP Donna Bauer, a wellliked local representative by many constituents, by a 1.44 per cent margin after a votes recount.

The new Labor MP, a 46-year-old lawyer and mother of one, is fielding constituents’ queries on the run at the moment since a suitable office has not yet been found.

“People can get in touch with me by phone, email or on Facebook,” Ms Kilkenny said.

As for Labor’s election victory and clean sweep of the marginal Frankston line seats of Carrum, Frankston, Mordialloc and Bentleigh, Ms Kilkenny said it was no surprise public transport problems had featured high in many voters’ minds.

“Congestion along the Frankston line is such a big issue and the separation of level crossings with rail lines will make travel much better.”

Ms Kilkenny also believed education funding had played a vital role in Premier Daniel Andrews’ election and the demise of the previous Coalition government after just one term.

“A lot of voters were extremely unhappy with the TAFE funding cuts,” she said.

“TAFE can be a pathway for young people and families in this area to get ahead.”

The Carrum MP credits her mother with instilling “a sense of social jus-

Fallen take place in history book THE names and lives of ‘the fallen’ – 59 men from the Chelsea and Carrum district who fought and died in World War I – have been immortalised in a new book written by Chelsea and District Historical Society chief historian Margaret Diggerson.

The book entitled The Fallen from Chelsea and Carrum was officially released last week at the historical society’s Chelsea Court House base.

The historian said it had taken “a couple of years” to piece together and write the history of the 59 who perished on foreign battlefields in WWI. A sense that many of the young men had “been forgotten” drove Ms Diggerson to gather their stories.

“I’d seen a couple, but not many, of the names on memorial honour rolls,” she said.

Researching the book, Ms Diggerson was struck by a sense of “sadness and waste of young lives”.

“War is terrible and World War I was a dreadful war, not just for us but for the Germans too.”

At the time the men of Carrum and Chelsea went off to war in 1914, the districts were relatively new and hardly established as suburbs. The loss of so many young men was a bitter blow to the new areas.

“They went off expecting ‘a big adventure’ and it was awful what happened to them,” Ms Diggerson said.

At the book launch, federal Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus said the men who lost their lives “were just like us” and their loss should never be forgotten.

The Fallen book’s publication was made possible by an Anzac centenary federal government funding grant. It is available to buy for $10 at the Chelsea and District Historical Society, Court House Museum, 6 The Strand, Chelsea.

The museum is open Sundays, 1pm-4pm and Thursdays, 10am-12pm. Local World War I memorabilia and information is now on display. Call 9772 1380.

tice” and “interest in politics” from an early age.

Her mother, Rae Kilkenny, put her hand up for preselection as Labor candidate for Frankston but lost out to Paul Edbrooke who won the seat for the party.

Ms Kilkenny’s determination to forge a career in politics is evident.

She had an unsuccessful tilt at winning the seat of Dunkley for Labor at the 2013 federal election but incumbent Liberal MP Bruce Billson increased his majority by 4.5 per cent. nSee facebook.com/SonyaforCarrum for the Carrum MP’s contact details or call 0411 097 05.

Trains not stopping all stations Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au METRO Trains has denied trains skipping stations on the Frankston line is a regular occurrence.

Melbourne’s rail operator was criticised last week after it was revealed an average of 15 trains skipped scheduled stops at stations in an apparent effort to meet punctuality quotas.

A Metro spokeswoman said there were 19,127 scheduled train services on the Frankston line from October to December and just 60 were “altered to run express”.

“Altering a service to run express is only used to assist when recovering from a major disruption, or to avoid a knock-on effect that will ultimately lead to a major delay,” the spokeswoman said.

“When we alter a service, we ensure that our drivers and station staff are made aware of the changes to make announcements, and aim to express services running in the off-peak direction, impacting only the minority of customers.”

Public transport reliability along the Frankston line is regarded as a pivotal concern for state election voters. Both parties have suffered the wrath of electorates along the train line at the past two state elections.

Labor won back the seats of Frankston, Carrum, Mordialloc and Bentleigh from Liberal MPs last November, contributing to the Coalition government’s demise after one term in power.

At the 2010 state election, the Liberals won Labor seats along the Frankston line.

Labor Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan blamed the previous Coalition government for trains skipping stations.

“The previous Liberal Government built their punctuality figures off the back of station skipping and timetable manipulation,” she said.

“The Andrews Labor government is awaiting detailed advice from Public Transport Victoria as to the most effective way to reduce station skipping and deliver more services to the public.”

Liberal opposition public transport spokesman David Hodgett said a previous Labor government “signed a contract with Metro to allow station skipping, now they blame everyone else.”

He said Labor should stop making excuses and “fix it”.

Metro advised it monitors “how often and which services are altered to run express and resort to the practice as infrequently as possible... we are actively trying to reduce how often it occurs.”

Metro told The News that, on average, 20 out of 6365 train services on the Frankston line each month are switched to an express service.

Ms Allan said: “Ultimately, we want trains stopping where they should stop, so the public can plan their journey with confidence.”

Back on track: Labor Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan wants Frankston line trains to stop skipping stations.

NEWS DESK Police patrol Punched at shops A MAN was asked for a cigarette and, when he refused, was punched to the side of the head by one of five males at Patterson Lakes shopping centre, Gladesville Blvd, at 7.50pm on Friday. The Chelsea Heights man, aged 20, and his girlfriend were awaiting takeaway dinners at the time. After the assault a second male tormented the victim, saying that he had “been to jail” and that, if it had been him, he would have “knocked him out”. The victim received bruising and swelling to his face. Kingston police responded to a 000 call and identified the teenage assailants walking away from the scene. They are facing charges of recklessly causing injury and unlawful assault but had not been charged when The News went to press.

Shop break-in A MAN used a screwdriver to force open the door to a dry cleaning business in Thompson Rd, Patterson Lakes, at 2am on Monday. He was captured on CCTV trying to force open coin tins on washing machines, but was unsuccessful. The owners told police the tins had been emptied previously and contained little money.

The man, with dark cropped hair, was wearing a dark, leather-type jacket, pants, and sunglasses on his head Anyone with information should contact Kingston Crime Investigation Unit on 9556 6111.

Alcohol stolen THIEVES stole 30 cans of beer and 30 cans of mixed spirits valued at $200 from the Bonbeach Baseball Club, in Thames Promenade at 1am Monday. The club secretary reported the break-in when he arrived at the

club, behind the Chelsea Heights Football Club, at 7am. The offenders broke into the club’s canteen via roller shutters, triggering multiple alarms. They climbed through a 20cm gap between the bars on the roller doors and the counter top to remove the cans from the fridge. This is the second break-in at the club in the past fortnight.

Fake notes alert A COUPLE used a fake $50 note to buy a milk drink and chocolate bar from a milk bar in Station St, Aspendale, on Tuesday afternoon last week.

After receiving their change they drove off in a red sedan parked outside the bakery. The man is described as Caucasian, skinny, in his early 20s, wearing a tank top, beanie and sunglasses. The woman is Caucasian, in her early 20s, with long dark hair.

Anyone with information should contact Mordialloc police on 9588 2988.

More fakes CHELSEA police are investigating the presence of a fake $50 note at the Chelsea Woolworths store last weekend. A staff member was checking bundles of notes when she discovered the counterfeit. It had gone through the note counter undetected. Contact Chelsea police on 8773 3200 with any information.

Post boxes forced PRIVATE post boxes at the Australia Post shop in Gladesville Blvd, Patterson Lakes, were broken into last weekend. The offender may have had a key to the post box room. It is not known if any mail was stolen when the doors to three boxes were ripped off.

The damage estimate is $50 per door.

Taxes go to freeway signs

New recycling bins to keep beaches clean

Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au MORE than two years after opening on 17 January 2013, Peninsula Link freeway will get directional and tourism signs that were omitted from the original brief for the $760 million road.

The signs come courtesy of intense lobbying by federal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson and peninsula tourism officials.

At least $175,000 of the cost will come from a federal Coalition government grant organised by Mr Billson in what some people will see as an unfair cost burden.

Peninsula motorists were surprised and disappointed at the lack of directional signs when the freeway opened in 2013. Strangers to the peninsula using the freeway were even more disappointed when they ended up lost or on the wrong road.

There were no signs on the fourlane road showing traffic where to exit to reach Baxter, Hastings and the Western Port side of the peninsula.

Signs showing drivers how to get to Mt Martha were also omitted. Few tourism signs were erected.

In August 2013, Mr Billson said the Coalition government would contribute $175,000 to “refresh and update the ‘Tour Peninsula’ tourist directional signage and to correct location signage errors such as omitting the Baxter township”.

He said he wanted to finish what he started in getting the freeway constructed by “getting location

and tourist directional signs updated to make people more aware of destinations off and along the new freeway”.

Last Friday he said there had been “unacceptable delays” in getting the signs installed. “This has been an exasperating experience,” he said.

The MP said “30 plus signs” would be installed on the freeway as well as on EastLink tollway, FrankstonFlinders Rd, Moorooduc Highway, and Peninsula Link “feeder” roads.

He said a meeting of freeway builder Southern Way, Linking Melbourne Authority, VicRoads and Mornington Peninsula Shire last week had signed

Baln

off on all but two of the signs.

Mr Billson said he was told signs had not been installed during freeway construction because they were not included in the original contract between the state government and Southern Way. The contract will have to be altered to reflect the installation of the signs.

Quotes for the work would be sought in early February and work would likely be completed mid-year, Mr Billson said. Baxter signs would be a priority. The $175,000 would be given in stages to the shire as the coordinating authority.

In 2013, Mr Billson blamed the state

Labor government for not including a comprehensive signs plan when it signed off on the private-public partnership with freeway building consortium Southern Way, which was managed by Linking Melbourne Authority.

Also in that year Western Port Tourism said signs to Western Port towns should be installed at FrankstonFlinders, Bungower and MorningtonTyabb roads.

WPT also called for so-called “hero destination” signs that display large photos of tourism attractions on Western Port.

NEW recycling and rubbish bins along the foreshore are helping keep beaches clean.

About 90 new dual 240 litre bin stations - with separate rubbish and recycling sections - will replace the out-dated and ineffective swingstyle 10 litre rubbish bins.

Mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said the new bins would encourage recycling at Kingston’s beaches and will significantly reduce the amount of recyclable waste being sent to landfill.

“The Kingston community has embraced recycling at home, and now we can do the right thing when visiting the beach,” he said.

“By working together with the community we can all play our part in keeping our incredible foreshore area clean and beautiful.

“So, next time you visit the beach use the new recycling bins or take your rubbish with you and sort your recycling at home.”

‘Secret’ sex shakes yoga school Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au ALLEGATIONS of sexual impropriety have shaken the usual calm surrounding the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga at Mt Eliza.

American-born ashram director Swami Shankarananda, also known as Swamiji (formerly known as Russell Kruckman), is alleged to have had sexual relations with more than 40 women attending the ashram.

Free confidential counselling is being offered to “anyone who needs assistance” while a sub-committee has been appointed to write a code of conduct for everyone working for the ashram, including Swami Shankarananda.

“It breaks my heart that our beautiful Satsang [gathering for the truth] has been shaken and split by anger and confusion,” the 72-year-old swami wrote in a letter seeking forgiveness from ashram members.

The management committee of the residential ashram in Tower Rd said Swami Shankarananda – although never claiming to be “a sexual renunciant” or demanding celibacy from any of his students – had admitted it was inappropriate to keep “aspects of the teaching and his personal activities secret”.

The committee has allowed him to remain as the ashram’s spiritual director.

Although it had received legal advice to the effect that no criminal laws had been broken, the committee said Swami Shankarananda’s “activities … raise a number of potential ethical issues” and had started an “internal processes to address any grievances … and the per-

ceived risk of any future misconduct”.

“I can say that this is an internal matter and we have not been contacted by the police,” said Stephen Stanford, a member of the Shiva Yoga management committee.

Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga was established in 1991 and soon after moved into the residential ashram in Mt Eliza. The ashram has about 500 regular attendees, including 20 who live on-site.

In his letter, Swami Shankarananda apologises “to the community and to anyone who has been hurt by my actions, or even by hearing of my actions”.

In an apparent reference to his book Carrot In My Ear (“a guidebook to the inner experience, offering insights and techniques to dissolve ignorance and live with energy and awareness”), his letter states: “I had a carrot in my ear.

Truly. When contemplating Baba’s life, I was most engaged by the dramas of the succession. I profoundly underestimated the impact of his tantric sexual activities. And my own. I recognise at last their disastrous effect. I vow to stop this behaviour. Indeed, it has been stopped already.”

Swami Shankarananda said he wanted to make amends “in an atmosphere of love and generosity of spirit, not vilification on either side”.

“I know people are disappointed and upset. I apologise to them and ask their forgiveness.”

He said there had been a lot of good done at the ashram in the past 20 years and his “tantric activities have been the only blemish”.

“As I have said, I have stopped them.

When peace returns, perhaps I will

speak and write about what is to be learned.

“I am open to a dialogue about the role of the guru and sannyasa in the modern west and also the place of sexuality in spiritual life – and other matters. We are pioneers, after all, and getting it all right isn’t easy.

“I don’t know how I could have been this stupid … but I was. I beg your forgiveness.”

News of the swami’s conduct has been discussed on social media, with one commentator on Guruphiliac’s Facebook page labelling the Shiva School’s response “outrageous … we have spoken to some of the women involved and heard their heartbreaking personal accounts in detail, and we see nothing in his actions that could in any way be called tantric or yogic, healing or spiritual”.

The page said Swami Shankarananda was involved in advising devotees about many aspects of their lives, including personal relationships, “when to get a new job or leave one, where to live”.

“For ashramites, this goes further, with some having to ask permission to even leave the premises for a few hours.”

The statement issued by the ashram’s management committee said “many people are hurt, angry and confused”.

“The committee is taking this situation very seriously and is dedicated to resolving the issue with honesty, transparency and compassion.

“Swamiji has asked us on his behalf to reiterate his message for the year of holding the feeling – that is, stay away from enmity, and keep returning to love.”

Apology: Swami Shankarananda has apologised for the “disastrous effect” his actions have had on members of the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga at Mt Eliza. Picture: Gary Sissons

Driving for business: Uber has launched its ride-sharing service in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula to compete with taxi operators despite being unregulated in Victoria. Picture source: Instagram

Uber challenges taxi operators Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au CONTROVERSIAL ride-sharing business Uber has arrived in Melbourne’s south east suburbs, launching in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula late last month despite operating illegally in Victoria.

Uber’s online system allows travellers to request a car ride via its mobile phone app to any destination covered by the company’s business.

The US based firm, estimated to be worth at least $40 billion by market analysts, recruits drivers who use their own vehicles to ferry passengers. Payment for a trip is made online meaning no cash changes hands.

Uber takes a commission on all journeys and pays the remainder of the fare to its drivers.

Uber’s service is a threat to the taxi industry’s business model and is deemed illegal by Victorian regulators.

Drivers risk a fine of up to $1700 if caught by transport inspectors representing Uber.

The company is backed by major corporations including Google and investment bank Goldman Sachs and is reportedly paying drivers’ fines.

Despite its unregulated status, Uber has opened offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Uber announced last month that Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula have been added to the 250-plus cities around the world where the ridesharing service is available.

Online advertising over the Christmas and New Year break spruiked Uber being “everywhere this summer… all the way to Sorrento and Portsea”.

To advertise in the Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News, contact John Davidson on 0405 154 540 Chelsea • Mordialloc • Mentone

A fleet of six minis offered free Uber rides to passengers over the Christmas and New Year break to encourage people to try out the service.

Uber claims it is trying to work with authorities to effectively legalise its business in Australia.

Uber spokesman Mike Abbott told the ABC’s 7.30 program last week: “We are calling for them [regulators] to remove the ambiguity and to put in place sensible safety-based legislation for ride-sharing which is pro-consumer and is not about protecting incumbents from competition”.

The company’s driver vetting policy has come under scrutiny after an Uber driver was arrested for an alleged assault on a 19-year-old passenger on New Year’s Day in Melbourne.

Uber did not reply to questions about its Frankston and Mornington Peninsula service before publication.

In November last year Uber senior vice president of business Emil Michael said the company would “dig up dirt” on journalists who criticised Uber. CEO Travis Kalanick apologised for the remark made at a dinner party.

Frankston Taxis general manager Kevin Dunn noted the state government is investigating ways for Uber to conform to industry-standard regulations.

“In this day and age you expect competition but the competition needs to be on a level playing field and currently with Uber it’s not,” he said.

The Frankston taxi company has recently released an iPhone app so customers can book taxi trips online.

An Android smartphone version will be available soon.

Hunt promise to protect reef as rains greet protesters

Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au

FLINDERS MP Greg Hunt says the federal government is â&#x20AC;&#x153;determined to protect and manage the Great Barrier Reef not just for the coming decades, but for the coming centuriesâ&#x20AC;?.

Since its election in late 2013 the government has â&#x20AC;&#x153;put an end to the five massive dredge disposal plans for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park that were inheritedâ&#x20AC;? from the former Labor governmentâ&#x20AC;?, Mr Hunt, who is also the environment minister, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Coalition is ending the centuryold practice of dumping in the marine park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a practice that was fully embraced

by Labor governments at both a federal and state level. I am enshrining this ban in law. This is the first time that any federal Minister has ever done this.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks followed a visit to Hastings last week by members of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition to protest at plans for material dredged for the expansion of the Abbot Point coal port in Queensland to be dumped near environmentally sensitive wetlands.

With their efforts to gain support from Hastings shoppers dampened by rain coalition members gathered for photographs outside Mr Huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

Mr Hunt said environment groups had called for onshore disposal at Abbot Point, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which is precisely what we are looking atâ&#x20AC;?.

Youth coalition spokesperson Erica Ransley said their protest was primarily aimed at limiting the amount of coal mined in the Galilee Basin because once it was burnt â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game over for

action on climate changeâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Millions of Australians have spoken out against this project - including many voters in Huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own electorate - who perhaps remember that Minister Hunt campaigned to stop the dredging of Port Phillip Bay in 2007. Why wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he afford the same protection to our national icon, the Great Barrier Reef? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The buck stops with Minister Hunt - he has the power to do the right thing for our climate and the reef.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Ransley said a recent study had shown that 90 per cent of Australian coal â&#x20AC;&#x153;must stay in the ground if we want to have a 50 per cent chance of staying below two degrees of global warmingâ&#x20AC;?.

The environmental activist group GetUp is backing legal action lodged by the NSW Environmental Defenders Office on behalf of the Mackay Conservation Group to stop Mr Hunt assessing plans to dredge and dump the spoil near Abbot Point.

Mr Hunt has countered by accusing GetUp of "ignoring the truth" and demanding it "explain" its actions.

GetUp has also used social media to rebut Mr Huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims, including his assertion that the group had â&#x20AC;&#x153;remained overwhelmingly silent as Labor advanced plans for dumping in the marine park as part of the Abbot Point project with 33 preliminary approvalsâ&#x20AC;?.

GetUp said it had launched its campaign to save the Great Barrier Reef in 2011, targeting the then federal Labor government â&#x20AC;&#x153;and has kept up the pressure to save the natural wonder ever since. Our campaigning included GetUp's then biggest ever petitionâ&#x20AC;?.

Protected: Summer rains dampened the activities but not the enthusiasm of anti-coal mining protesters Erica Ransley, Andy Snook, Hannah Glasson, Maxine Gigliotti and Raf Branton (in the Nemo costume).

The five members of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition sought refuge and a photo opportunity outside the office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our movement followed the Reef Fighting Fund with an incredible year of action, so much so that the government abandoned its plans to dump dredge-spoil at sea and found an alternative,â&#x20AC;? GetUp stated in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, the new plans are terrible. The Queensland government's own report shows it is the worst possible environmental solution at Abbot Point. (And incidentally, the cheapest).â&#x20AC;?

The case lodged by the NSW Environmental Defenders Office argues that the emissions from burning the estimated 60 million tonnes a year of coal to be exported from Adaniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carmichael mine in the Galilee Basin â&#x20AC;&#x153;are

Peninsula Fireplace

big enough to have an impact on global warming and therefore on the Great Barrier Reefâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will argue that the minister failed to consider the greenhouse gas emissions arising from the burning of coal mined from the project and the impact of those emissions on nationally protected matters, such as the Great Barrier Reef,â&#x20AC;? the defenders office said.

Mr Hunt said a state Labor government in Queensland had â&#x20AC;&#x153;created the Galilee Basin initiativeâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They allocated the tenements and proposed a 38 million cubic metre dredge plan. It is not a federal government plan it is a state ALP plan and private proposal.â&#x20AC;?

Hear Together support for deaf children HEAR Together Mornington Peninsula is a new support group for parents of children with a hearing impairment.

The group is an initiative of the Frankston Toy Library. It welcomes the entire family, including the children and their siblings, to its informal and fun bimonthly meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having a child diagnosed with a hearing loss can be a difficult experience for many parents,â&#x20AC;? founder Sandi Walters said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When my daughter was diagnosed I felt like the only parent on the planet dealing with such issues, and my daughter felt like the only child on the planet with hearing aids.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Walters started the group to ensure that no other families in the area felt the same isolation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is welcome - from those worried about grommets to those with hearing aids and cochlear implants,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Meetings are held at the Frankston Toy Library â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of which Ms Walters in president - which also has Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest collection of resources. These can be borrowed for children with a range of special needs, including deafness, blindness, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and autism.

A new Auslan playgroup has been launched as part of the Hear Together program for parents wanting to learn and practise sign language.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Emu Plains race a smashing success Compiled by Melissa Walsh WE were pleased to see that Mr C. McKenzie’s Almond Bush was successful in winning the Novelty Pony Race at Emu Plains on Tuesday last in a field of eight starters. He started favorite and won a good race by a neck. *** MISS H. Ridley notifies that she will be in Somerville on Saturday, 6th February, and will be pleased to interview friends and intending pupils for instruction in singing and piano. *** IN a letter received this week from Mr. Jim Cuthbert we learn he is leaving England for the Front on 8th Dec with the Army Veterinary Corps. He also has three brothers and two sisters on active service. The two latter being nurses, one in Belgium and the other in London. *** MUSIC lovers have a treat in store in the “We Four” Concert on Monday, 1st February. This phenomenal blend of human voices will be remembered for their great concert in aid of the Fire Brigade last summer, and a crowded house should be the result of their efforts next week. Their selections will contain old and new numbers varying from ragtime to grand opera. The Quartet have just concluded their Melbourne season with the Yestelle Company. *** THE result of the Annual competitive examinations held in December for the “junior,” “teaching” and “junior technical” scholarships offered by the

Education Department has now been made available and we are pleased to see that Reginald A. Coxall, son of Mr Coxall, of Frankston, has been successful in gaining a “junior” scholarship under clause 1 of regulation 21 with 684 marks out of a possible 1000, being eleventh on the list on the Registered Primary Schools. *** THE following professionals from Melbourne are supporting “ We Four” in the programme of February 1st.

Miss Noel Geddes, who was such a success at last season’s Taits Auditorium concerts, Miss Daisy Gove who has just returned from England where she has been touring in vaudeville, and Syd. C. Stewart the well known comedian. *** THE funeral of Mr Jas Jesson of Frankston Road, took place on Tuesday, and was of a private nature, only relatives and a few friends attending.

The deceased was amongst the earliest pioneers of the district, born in Leicester England on March 20th, 1828, and was in his 87th year at the time of his death. He arrived in Melbourne in 1856, and started farming pursuits in this district in 1865, retiring some 20 years ago and lived at Frankston Road up to the time of his death. He leaves one son, Mr J.H. Jesson, well-known in Dandenong, now residing at Oakleigh, and a number of grandchildren to mourn their loss. Death took place on the 18th inst. Brother. R. Kelly, P.C.R. Court, Dandenong, A.O.F, read the Forrester’s service at deceased’s

late residence; he was a member of the above lodge for over half a century. *** A youth named Reginald Hutchinson, of 22 Isabella Street, Malvern, was drowned in the sea at Chelsea on Wednesday last. Deceased could not swim. At about 1pm, he and a companion, who also was unable to swim, went bathing in the open sea. Hutchinson ventured into deeper water than his companion, and presently he was swept out of sight by a large wave.

When he appeared on the surface again he shouted for assistance, and the call was taken up by his companion, who soon attracted the attention of other bathers. The searchers after a short search recovered the body of the youth. It was then apparently lifeless, but prompt and energetic efforts were made to restore animation. The operations were perseveringly sustained as long as there remained the smallest hope of success, but all these endeavours proved futile. Eventually the body was removed to the morgue by Constable McDonald. Deceased was 18 years of age. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason held their second by-weekly produce sale at Frankston on Wednesday last, when the market was well supplied with vegetables. Potatoes brought a good price. A very fine sample of tomatoes, locally grown, was quickly snapped up at a good price. A number of cases of apples were disposed of at market rates. A few crates of poultry also changed hands.

*** EMU Plains And Bittern Races: A very successful meeting, in adverse circumstances, was held at Bittern on Tuesday. In the fore-part of the afternoon it blew clouds of dust, and from 3 o’clock the racing was continued throughout a steady downpour of rain.

The entries (104) proved a record, and the takings at the gates amounted to £65. The club expects to net a profit of about £30. When the horses in the Open Handicap Hack Race were making their preliminary gallops in the straight, Merry Foe, ridden by young Crook, reared and fell back on his rider, who was apparently seriously hurt.

The lad however, recovered sufficiently to be able to walk about before the meeting closed. An inquiry was held into the riding of Julia B in this race, the president giving his verdict that there were ‘two rotten’ circumstances in the race, and he gave the benefit of the doubt to the rider as to which was the worse. *** THE cricket match between Somerville and Naval Base resulted in another win for Somerville. Naval Base batted at first and thanks to some vigorous hitting by Dorey, who made 47, the total of 79 was reached. Chas Thornell was in great fettle, obtaining 1 wicket for 25 runs, while he also caught the tenth man off Percy Thornell’s bowling. Fred Murrey had a day off with the ball, but made up for it with a well made 52 before he retired. S S Gault kept up his form with 70 retired. W. Hutchison made

more prone to anger on the presupposition that wealthier people tend to have more expectations. Rich people tend to believe that their money will insulate them from disappointments which is simply untrue. Poorer people have a certain advantage in avoiding anger due to a tendency to expect less out of the world. A practical approach that Seneca gave to avoiding anger was to prepare yourself mentally for disappointment. He believed advice like, “don’t worry, it will be fine,” was cruel because it leaves people unprepared if things turn out not to be okay. He recommended a daily meditation on all of the things that might go wrong. It might seem like preposterous advice, but imagine how much more enjoyable life might be for all of us if we left our house in the morning not really expecting too much. It leaves us in a position to be pleasantly surprised and grateful when things do go smoothly. Seneca is not saying to never expect things to go well, but rather just to be psychologically prepared for a day when they don’t. *** No surprises with Treasurer Joe Hockey’s backdown on “getting tough” on multinational companies who shift profits to international subsidiaries to avoid tax. The surprise was when he promised to take action

in the first place. To be compared with Matthew Guy’s sprout about Lindsay Fox”s 45 metres at Point King Beach, Portsea. We have sympathy for Joe. A lot of this budget deficit is due to circumstances beyond his control and the sad man can’t even blame Labor.

Then one remembers how ruthless he was in his attack mode. Hey Joe-an increase in the GST and a tax on compulory superannuation contributions would give you another 30 billion a year? *** A number of older people have a strong sense of regret about their lives coupled with a singular respect for their actions. Many join the chase (respect) and become hypocrites.

They want other people to conduct themselves in a certain way (actions & thinking) yet do not conduct themselves any differently. Can we behave the way we expect others to behave?

No-it’s all wankerville. The better class of ratbags are clearly in evidence at football matches, phone boxes, new bus stops and the Mornington Peninsula after 11pm. That’s why I watch football on television. I’m the only ratbag in the room. I have enemy mongrels in every football team except those boys in the black and white stripes. Wankers abound in all walks of life. Try an opening of an art gallery. Try my front door.

*** Summertime, and the livin’ is easy; Ella Fitzgerald. With politics in general as it sits now let us hope Anne Murray’s Danny’s Song, particularly the lines “Even though we ain’t got money, I’m so in love with you honey” remains in the forefront; for married couples anyway. God help the singles living alone paying rent; worse if they like a cigarette. Whatever, you can rest assured the “I’m allright Jack” crowd will sail into the Sydney Harbour sunset, avoiding Martin Place, oblivious. *** Full marks to the Gaming Industry re “Childcare Available” idea. Always thinking of the hearts and minds of our young kiddies. Then we have United Energy, the gaffer tape specialists “Shape our energy fuel together, visit our website and have your say”, IF you have power. As for the 13000 community police keeping me safe, unobtrusively, I’ve been doing the long walks to and from the RSL for years, and yet to spot a policeperson? *** Disgusting but unsurprising. Commissioner Dryson Heyden heading the Royal Kangaroo Commission into unions. Nasty cracks at Julia Gillard’s evidence despite any evidence against her and not a murmur on Lib-

53 retired, G. Grant 20, and C. Thornell 52 retired, also batted very well.

The Somerville total was 232, five of the wickets having fallen. Allen was the most dangerous bowler. The Base were at a disadvantage, owing to several of their men having gone to town. *** A MOST successful concert was held on Saturday evening, January 16th, at the Mechanics’ Hall, Somerville, by Concert band. Every item given was encored by a crowded audience, the concert being under the auspices of the Somerville Social Club. Miss Mabel Doron, the brilliant composer and pianist, acted as accompanist and proved an acquisition in her work. With Miss Kelly she opened the concert with a piano duet, after which Miss Mary Kelly sang ‘My Hero,’ which suited her dramatic soprano voice and was enthusiastically encored. Messrs Geo Coirley and Arthur Shaw gave a duet, ‘Belle Eve.’ This stirring duet was well sung and met with a hearty reception and encore. *** THE breaking of the drought, and the consequent improvement of pastures in districts where formerly no feed was obtainable, has already had a noticeable effect upon railway business, particularly in the department concerned with the transport of live stock which is now being returned to the district.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 23 January, 1915.

A Grain of Salt Its that time of the year where we have these holiday makers, zombies on the beach, each swim exiting another pee into Port Phillip Bay, in desperation for something to do other than coffee, ice creams, pizzas. Pick up a copy of the Mornington News Group newspaper to check out the real estate. This is the issue where the local newspapers have all gone after two days. Some may be so desperate they get to the back of this newspaper to read this column. For this writer I can simply ramble on, moreso than usual. Throw in a couple of quick comments, more or less take a fortnight off. Welcome. Hope the weather is good for you. Take your rubbish with you. *** From Seneca, Roman philosopher: We are like dogs leashed to the back of a moving chariot. Our leashes are long enough to give us some freedom and maneuverability, but not long enough to allow us to move wherever we want. We are still on a leash and anchored to the chariot of life. Far better to follow along in a direction that you don’t want to go rather than to kick against something that you cannot change. Being able to identify what we can and cannot change is a really important ability that can be a key to our freedom and happiness. Beware, prosperous people are

By Cliff Ellen eral hero Cathy Jackson’s evidence despite mounting evidence to the contrary. Right wing puppets? *** Big Brother Scott Morrisson, the sensitive Christian who not only convinced the majority of Australians the boat people escaping persecution, homelessness and hunger were illegal, allowing the horror of Manus Island and Nauru, but in fact checkmating the gutless Labor opposition, as the new Minister for Social Services. Centrelink to be renamed Gestapo Headquarters? *** The National Geographic has named The Mornington Peninsula as one of the top places to see in 2015. Please, I beg you, take no notice....We end the year as always, with comedy.

POWERED BY

The Getaway Plan The Getaway Plan fans rejoice; the boys will be playing at the Pelly Bar on January 24 and will also be releasing their new crowdfunded album Dark Horses sometime in the next few months.

PEARL’s Jessica Mills spoke to lead singer Matthew Wright about what the band behind hits such as Where the city meets the sea and The Reckoning, has planned for 2015 and how the band has changed since reforming after a short hiatus in 2010.

PEARL: Tell me about your new album Dark Horses which you are currently recording in Brunswick…

WRIGHT: We started out with about 35 songs and we’ve now narrowed it down to 12 for the record. There’s a not heap that I want to give away about the music just yet. But all we can say is that we’re really, really excited and without sounding too cliché we think it’s some of the best work that we’ve ever done.

PEARL: What made you decide to crowdfund it?

WRIGHT: We have had some difficult experiences with record companies in the past. Generally when you’re a musician working with a label and they are investing a lot of money into you, there always comes a point where they have some creative control over what you’re doing, and we are very about being in complete control of our music. Doing it independently means that we get to make the record exactly the way that we want to, we get to put the exact songs that we want to on there, everything from the ground up is as

pure as it can be.

PEARL: Five per cent of money raised post pledge goal, which you have now reached, is donated to Beyond Blue. Why did you choose that charity?

WRIGHT: We just thought that it was a good cause. We are all very passionate about supporting mental health issues, a few of us have been affected by it before, and it’s just an important cause for us.

PEARL: Where did inspiration for this album come from?

WRIGHT: The biggest inspiration is just everything that we have been through as a band over the past five years. There’s been a lot of shit going on in the camp, some personal stuff, we’ve gone through a few members, we kind of got pretty close at one point to calling it again. This record is our triumph over that, we certainly are not throwing in the towel and we are stoked to be where we are.

PEARL: You’ve recently celebrated your 10 year anniversary as a band. What’s been your biggest highlight over those years?

WRIGHT: One of the biggest highlights was when we reformed. After all the negativity that was surrounding it all when we broke up, a few of us weren’t speaking to each other during that time, to be able to come back and be friends again was massive for us.

PEARL: What was it like recording together again after having a break for one year?

WRIGHT: We kind of just fell back into place.

There wasn’t really any awkwardness. Clint and myself ran into each one night when we were out at a club, we had a conversation and decided we weren’t quite done with what we had intended to do with this band and things just fell back into place quite smoothly.

PEARL: What have you got planned for your show in Frankston later this month?

Will you be playing any new stuff?

WRIGHT: Yeah we will be testing out some new material for sure. We don’t want to over do it because we hate it when we go and see bands that we like and they just play a set of all new songs, we do want to make sure it is well balanced.

PEARL: What’s on the agenda for 2015?

WRIGHT: We plan to release the record as

soon as possible, whether that be in the first quarter or first half of the year. There’s still a lot of logistics to work out when you’re releasing a record independently. We also want to continue to tour as much as we canwe’ve got some pretty extensive tour plans up our sleeves for this year. We want to keep the ball rolling this year, we don’t want to wait another three or four years between records.

For tickets to see The Getaway Plan at The Pelly Bar (Pier Live) Davey St, Frankston on January 24 head to http://www.moshtix. com.au and like the boys on Facebook to stay up to date on album release date details https://www.facebook.com/ thegetawayplan

INXS, Chisel, Oils! Oz’s biggest show

Australia Day Eve Sunday 25th January the Hallam Hotel explodes with an Oz Rock Trifecta bringing together the music of three of Australian Rock music’s biggest bands, Cold Chisel, INXS and the mighty Midnight Oil. Australia’s most renown tribute shows INXSive, Gold Chisel and The Midnight Oils Show come together in one super show at one of Melbourne’s most iconic live music venues, The Hallam Hotel.

Cold Chisel were unquestionably one of the finest and most respected rock groups in Australian history. The songs of Cold

Chisel helped to form part of what we like to call “The Great Australian Soundtrack”, with many of them being best described as Australian Rock Anthems. It is with great pride that as Australian musicians GOLD CHISEL can take these songs across Australia and help many Aussies relive the memories and at the same time introduce these timeless classics to a whole new generation.

INXS-IVE reproduce not only the sound of INXS, but also the live show that made them as memorable as they are today. INXS-IVE give every audience the opportunity to

re-experience the inspiring, and proudly Australian, music that INXS created. A must see for all INXS fans!

Midnight Oil were more than just a rock & roll band. From the northern beaches of Sydney to the streets of Manhattan, they stopped traffic, inflamed passions, inspired fans, challenged the concepts of “business as usual” and broke new ground. To see Midnight Oil in full flight was to experience the full visceral, transcendent, kinetic power of live rock & roll. To experience Midnight Oil was to be inspired by ideas, to be encouraged to live life more passionately, to get involved in the world around you.

Bringing Back The Oils - The Midnight Oil Show celebrate the music, the influences, and the artistry of Midnight Oil, as we share it with a new generation. They’re bringing back THE OILS…with or without them!

It’s a night of non-stop Aussie classics with three big bands at one of Australia’s greatest live music venues. Join INXSive, Gold Chisel and The Oils for the Australian Made Tribute Supershow on Sunday 25th January from 8pm at the Hallam Hotel, Princes Hwy Hallam. Tickets available at hallamhotel.com.au

Doggies hold upper hand over Old Boys PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON is a strong position heading into day two of its clash against top of the ladder Peninsula Old Boys in MPCA Provincial cricket.

Going into the game, Mornington sat in fifth position, equal on points with fifth placed Long Island and sixth-placed Langwarrin. They were an outright win (18 points) behind the Old Boys.

However, the reigning premier looks set to bridge the gap with the Old Boys after sending them packing for just 105 on Saturday at Alexandra Park.

The Old Boys have been in red hot form with the bat this season, scoring more than 100 runs more than its nearest rival Sorrento. They had scored 300 more than the Dogs heading into the clash.

It mattered little however as Mornington’s front-line bowling attack tore through the Old Boys’ batting line-up.

Not only did the Doggies take

wickets, they bowled tightly, restricting the Old Boys to a little under two runs an over. The Old Boys lasted 58 overs.

Mornington needed to face the last 22 overs of the day and managed to get through relatively unscathed. At stumps the home team was 1/40.

There’s no rush for the Dogs in this one. Simply use as many of their 80 overs as possible to get another 66 runs.

Crib Point is in danger of losing contact with the top four after succumbing to the power of Sorrento on Saturday.

It was brothers Andrew and Chris King who again tormented the opposition batsmen, picking up seven wickets between them.

CJ bowled 17 overs and finished with 4/38 while AJ bowled 16 overs and snared 3/24.

All other bowlers including Nick Davern, Mick Dunball and Liam O’Connor were rewarded for their efforts with a wicket each.

Magpies’ skipper Robbie Hearn top scored for his side with 29, while Jack Johnson made a timely 26 batting at

nine. In reply, Sorrento is 2/39 after batting the final 23 overs of the day.

Corey Harris (15) and Nick Jewell (0) are the not out batsmen, while Jack Falck (4) and Liam O’Connor (14) are back in the sheds.

Luke Herrington (1/9 off six) and Brad Davidson (1/7 from seven) are the Magpies’ wicket takers.

Moorooduc created even more pain for the struggling Mt Eliza on Saturday at Emil Madsden Reserve, giving the home side 252 to chase down for victory.

Whilst there wasn’t a Duc that went on to make a big score, the large majority of batsmen made a solid contribution to the total of 6/251.

Jack Kennedy again proved to be a wonderful pick-up for the Ducs, top scoring with 46, while Bobby Wilson helped himself to 42. John Collison also made it 239 runs for the season with 41 at the top of the innings.

Lyle House was the best of the Mt Eliza bowlers, picking up 2/80 from 22 overs.

Pines looks likely to escape the battle to avoid relegation, despite being bowled out for 107 on Saturday

against Rye. The Piners batted first at RJ Rowley Reserve and other than Jake Prosser with 41, only three other batsmen made it into double figures.

Rye skipper Tom Baron led from the front for the Demons with 5/44 from 20 overs while Leigh Lambert was just as impressive with 4/32 from 17 overs.

However, yet again, Rye’s batsmen were not able to hold off the opposition’s bowlers.

It was former Langwarrin leftarm opening quick Alex Coad who did the damage for the Piners with a devastating six over spell that landed 3/8.

At stumps, Rye was is all sorts of trouble at 4/36.

Bottom of the table Heatherhill will be looking to avoid an outright defeat at the hands of Baxter when the sides head into day two this Saturday.

The Hills batted first on Saturday and made just 94 in 36.2 overs. Jake Foster top scored with 24 in his second game of the season.

Chamika Sattambi was the pick of the Baxter bowlers with four wickets,

while Brad Holton in his first senior appearance picked up three wickets to go with the 19 he has claimed in the Second XI this season.

Baxter made a quick fire 8/161 in 35 overs before having the last eight overs of the day at the Hills.

The home side will resume on 0/19.

Langwarrin will need to be at its best with the bat if it is to get the required runs against Long Island to win the match.

The Islanders are without question in the box seat after making 9/196.

The Kangas have a history of buckling under the pressure in run chases, regardless of the total. They also have a fear of Islanders’ star Scott Phillips, who takes them to the cleaners every time they play against him.

Dwayne Doig picked-up 3/57 from 29 overs for the Kangas, while Adrian Mack snared 2/49 from 28 overs.

Matt Prosser, in a rare occurrence, was thrown the ball and picked-up 2/35.

Eagles to land final blow DISTRICT

By IT Gully SOMERVILLE has the opportunity to finish Delacombe Park off for the season in MPCA District cricket.

Whilst the Eagles are sitting pretty in second place on the ladder and are looking to consolidate their place in the top bracket, Delacombe is hanging on for dear life and simply must win the match if it is to play finals this season.

It would be a massive failure if the Parkers were unable to back-up a grand final in 2013/14 with at last a place in the finals the following season.

They appear to be up against thought heading into day two of their match with the Eagles. Somerville batted first on Saturday on their home deck and made 209 from 73 overs. Leigh Lowry was superb for the Eagles with 61 after his side slumped to 4/35.

With the Eagles reeling at 6/73, Matty Roach strode to the crease and saved the day with an unbeaten 65. Without Aaron Kaddatz in the team, Roach was the last of the recognised batsmen.

Shane Deal was the pick of the Parkers’ bowlers with 3/36 from 21 overs. In reply, the Parkers are 1/8 after facing the final seven overs of the day.

Without skipper Chris Brittain, it would be a mighty effort for the Parkers to win.

Main Ridge has some work to do against Hastings but is still favourite to win the game.

The Ridge are hanging on to fifth place on the ladder currently, just half a game outside of third place and 12 points out of second. Although they are favorites to beat Hastings, they have plenty of work ahead of them to get the desired result.

Hastings won the toss and batted first on Saturday but was bowled out for 113.

Scott Millar was superb with the ball for the Ridge taking 5/37. However, in reply, the home side is reeling at 3/43 with the dangerous Michael Holmes and Brad Rossborough back in the sheds.

Shaun Foster has single handedly given Carrum the upper hand in its match against Baden Powell.

Foster made 114 and Daniel Polson chimed-in with 53 to help the Lions to

216 against the Braves. Josh Dent with 12 runs was the only other batsmen to make double figures.

Sean Wilson was the best of the Braves’ bowlers with 3/35 from 16.5 overs.

Baden Powell simply must win this game if it is any chance of playing finals this season. The Lions are looking to tighten their grip inside the top four.

Mt Martha’s bowlers will need to produce something very special if they are going to defend the 167 they set Red Hill to win the match. The Hillmen were superb with the ball on Saturday at Ferraro Reserve, restricting the home side to less than 200.

Simon Dart again led the way for his side with 3/35 from 22 overs, while Brent Martin and Jamie McCall collected two wickets each. The Hillmen faced the last over of the day and remained unscathed.

They will resume at 0/7 after five wides were bowled in the opening over.

Seaford Tigers look to have the upper hand in their clash with bitter rival and the highly fancied Seaford at Seaford Reserve. Seaford won the toss on Saturday and sent the Tigers into bat.

It looked like a good move when they had the opposition 4/30 and 5/59, however, the Tigers scrambled to 9/236, thanks largely to 77 from skipper David James and more than 100 runs from the tail.

Andy McMannis was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 3/26 from 13 overs, while Aaron Peebles and Faisal Payenda each claimed two wickets.

Flinders has placed itself in a wonderful position to remove itself from relegation calculations against Boneo.

Flinders went into the match second bottom of the ladder on 12 points while Boneo is only one place higher on 24 points.

On Saturday at BA Cairns Reserve, Flinders all but avoided relegation after scoring 7/259 in their 80 overs.

Andrew Power top scored with 61, Tommy Clements hit 58 and Blake Hogan-Keogh hit 48 to be the keys to the big total.

Alex Petrovic took three wickets for the Pandas.

Still hope for Saints SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully BALNARRING will be throwing every at the opportunity to claim an outright victory against Skye in MPCA Sub-District cricket.

An outright win would see Balnarring back in the finals race after a very disappointing season to date.

Going into Round 8, the Saints were in sixth position, 20 points away from fifth placed Frankston YCW and fourth placed Carrum Downs.

An outright win would give the Saints 20 points and have them knocking on the door.

The Cougars and YCW are locked in their own battle. The best result for the Saints would be a draw but it’s unlikely, meaning they would be a game outside of the four should they get an outright.

On Saturday, they bowled Skye out for 88, James Wisken claiming 3/12

and Peter Mereszko 3/24.

The Saints then hit a quick fire 7/168 with Brad Watson scoring 56 and Tom Hilet 48.

On Saturday Skye will begin their second innings, still 80 runs behind.

Carrum Downs made 187 against the Stonecats, which means the game is pretty even at this stage.

Luke Hutchison was superb with the ball for the Stonecats with 4/30 from eight overs, while Andrew Kitson also chimed-in with 4/49 from 25 overs.

Ryan Lynch top scored for the Cougars with 47 while Mark Snelling hit 38.

Dromana has given itself every opportunity of celebrating a rare victory after scoring 194 on Saturday against Ballam Park.

Skipper Greg McCann top scored with 86 while Craig Dunlop (34) and Trevor Rendall (25) added some much needed runs in the middle order.

Ryan O’Connor did all that he

The Yabbies made 9/152 in 80 overs against the Panthers on Saturday at Tyabb Reserve.
