Dogs gone in thefts Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au POLICE are hunting dog thieves in the Kingston area following the theft of two family pets in separate incidents last week.

Police said a shih-tzu named Scruffy and a cavoodle called Bobby were stolen from Mordialloc and Parkdale. Scruffy was wandering near Mordialloc creek while his owner was working at a boat shed on Main St nearby when he was reportedly taken by a

THE News article about federal government funding cuts to Environment Defenders Office was timely (‘Defenders under siege’, The News, 22/1/13). Some experts believe the world could reach peak energy by 2017. This is all energy derived from finite nonrenewable sources and would stall life as we know it. Coal, gas and petrochemicals will be in terminal supply and only uranium will survive. But these minerals are not interchangeable. One cannot put coal in a petrol tank or uranium in a coal fired power station. The Abbott government is trying to kill off the price on carbon to let the big polluters off the hook. The renewable energy fund has been abandoned, the Climate Commission has been disbanded but thankfully has morphed into the Climate Council with a donation of $24,000. They will act “ pro bono” for six months but require $1 million annually to keep operating. The Liberal government are taking no responsibillity for appropriate action on climate change. Teachers are worried that the science of climate change won’t be included in Christopher Pyne’s curriculum reforms. Some teachers are worried about the responsibillity of teaching this science adequately and many would like to see it taught to below Year 10 students. For the first time in 70 years we don’t have a minister for science at the time when our most vulnerable are being bequeathed a toxic polluted planet with a dodgy future. I am familiar with at least two environmental groups - Mordialloc Beaumaris Conservation League and Port Phillip Conservation Council - and both these groups donate to the Environment Defenders Office as a resource and information repository. I am absolutely confident that volunteer groups will keep the EDO financially supported and viable. The task is too important to be left to politicians!

“After weeks of checking out many Retirement Villages, we came across this well maintained friendly Village. After touring the Village and its beautiful gardens we knew we would be happy living here. Since moving here the friendship of the staff, residents and the activities and restaurant have all been bonuses. I am happy enjoying my retirement years with new friends in a lovely place. It is the right choice.” Yvonne

Wrong judgement I NOTE with interest that a Melbourne newspaper (20/1/14) has devoted its front page and an inside page to a story concerning the proposed erection of a monument by the City of Melbourne to the two Aboriginal men Tunnerminnerwail and Maulboybeenner (Bob and Jack) who were hanged in Melbourne for murder in 1842. One could question the justice of that sentence for a variety of reasons, but those who support the monument because the two men were supposedly “freedom fighters” are undoubtedly misguided. As Dr Marie Fels quite properly pointed out in this newspaper (“Hanged Aborigines not freedom fighters”, 17/7/12), the primary source documents for the events surrounding the two Aboriginal men are contained in a book published by the Public Record Office, 1842 –The Public Executions at Melbourne (1984). No topic has been so distorted or manipulated for political purposes than that of Aboriginal history and I suggest your readers consider very carefully before accepting ideological certitude as historical fact.

Wetlands have day in sun KINGSTON residents are invited to attend a World Wetlands Day event at the Edithvale-Seaford Wetland Education Centre on Sunday 2 February. The event will explore the link between wetlands and agriculture, with guided walking tours through the wetlands and remnants of the Carrum Carrum swamp. Melbourne Water south-east region waterways manager Greg Bain said the open day would give residents a chance to get to know the area with the help of an informed guide. “The Edithvale-Seaford wetlands are recognised as being of international importance under the Ramsar Convention,” Mr Bain said. “It’s a great opportunity for people to explore the wetlands and see firsthand how they function as a habitat for wildlife and native plant species in an increasingly urban environment. “Visitors may also take in some bird watching given the abundance of native and migratory birdlife that occupy the wetlands throughout the year,” Mr Bain added. The theme of this year’s World Wetland’s Day, ‘wetlands and agriculture’, reflects the importance of water and wetlands in productive landscapes. The Wetlands play an important role in providing flood protection to surrounding areas, and at any one time are home to as many as 7000 birds. The Chelsea Historical Society will exhibit a series of photographs demonstrating how the area has transformed from natural to rural then urban landscapes. The Wetlands Day guided walking tour will be held at the Edithvale-Seaford Education Centre, 278 Edithvale Rd, Chelsea Heights on Sunday 2 February from 1pm-5pm. 1-hour tours by the Friends of Edithvale Seaford Wetlands depart throughout the afternoon. Participants should wear long pants, closed-toe shoes, weather appropriate attire and BYO water. Visitors will also have the opportunity to learn about local wildlife with talks from bird experts and interactive water bug displays throughout the afternoon.

Cove community fund opened THE Cove Hotel has set up a community fund to donate money to not-forprofit community and sporting groups providing services and facilities to Kingston residents. Applications should detail the history of the organisation, the services and benefits provided to Kingston residents and how funds will be used. The maximum donation to any organisation will be $5000. Community and sporting groups are invited to apply for funding by email at info@thecovehotel.com.au before the deadline on 28 February.

No refund in reclaims scam Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FRAUDSTERS are calling Kingston residents to try to scam them out of money. Mordialloc resident Maree Nesols received a call from someone last week who claimed to be from “the federal government’s reclaims department”. The caller claimed Ms Nesols’ mother, 86-year-old Veronia Nesols, was eligible for a $5000 refund due to being “overcharged for gas and electricity”. The caller, who claimed her name was “Catherine Douglas”, said Ms Nesols had to send $199 to a Western Union account to claim the refund on her mother’s behalf.

Ms Nichols became suspicious that the caller’s number was listed as a Sydney number, when most of the federal government’s departments are based in Canberra. “It did sound slightly credible since my mother was coincidentally due a refund from Energy Australia due to a cracked gas pipe leading to overuse but I had my doubts when the caller claimed they were from ‘the Ministry of Tax in Sydney’ when questioned further,” Ms Nesols said. The News called the “Federal Government Reclaims Department” telephone number supplied by Ms Nesols - 02 8006 1416 - and asked to speak to “Catherine Douglas”. The woman who answered the call

claimed to be Catherine Douglas and said she worked for “the Ministry of Tax for the federal government”. When further pressed to confirm the location of the ministry, “Catherine Douglas” terminated the call. The ACCC’s SCAMwatch website warns people to be aware of scam phone calls claiming eligibility for rebates or refunds. SCAMwatch cautions people to be wary of callers who “pretend to be from a government department, financial institution or trusted organisation”, especially if an admin fee is requested to be paid up-front to claim any money allegedly owed. The ACCC states: “government departments will never contact you ask-

ing you to pay money upfront in order to claim a fee or rebate”. People who receive such calls “out of the blue” are advised to hang up on the caller and report incidents to SCAMwatch on 1300 795 995. If someone thinks they have provided bank account or credit card details to a scammer, they should immediately contact their bank or financial institution. Visit www.scamwatch.gov.au for further information. Have you received a call from the federal government’s reclaims department or ministry of tax? Email team@npnews.com.au with the details.

GRANTS of up to $20,000 are now available to community groups as part of the ANZAC Centenary 20142018 commemorations. Carrum MP Donna Bauer encourages ex-service organisations, local government authorities, not-for-profit organisations and educational institutions to apply for grants to be used for projects that honour and share the stories of Victorian service men and women and their communities. The grants have been made available through the Veterans Council’s Anzac Centenary Community Grants program. “It is important that Australia’s war history and particularly the role played by Victorian men and women during World War 1 are never forgotten. We need to honour those who served and remember the sacrifices made in a war that forged the legend of the ANZACs,” said Mrs Bauer. Projects could include a new war memorial, books about Victoria’s contribution to the war effort, or commemorative events. Visit www.veterans.vic.gov.au or call 1300 366 356.

Police target jet-ski hoons By Chris Brennan WATER police have been patrolling the mouth of the Patterson River at Carrum on a daily basis over the summer holiday period in a major crackdown on jet-ski activity and boating safety. Jet-skiers have become the focus of increasing resentment among beachgoers across Port Phillip Bay and Patterson River is one of the most popular launching spots. Swimmers and jet skiers were out in force over the Australia Day long weekend, however water police officers said no serious incidents were reported. Acting Senior Sergeant Alistair Nisbet said water police had received numerous complaints in recent times about dangerous, or often just plain annoying, behaviour by jet-ski operators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beachgoers in general donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like them and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re noisy and swimmers tend to feel threatened when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re around, even when they are abiding by the rules. We have received a large

number of complaints from the Carrum - or Patterson River - area about personal watercraft so it has been a focus of attention for us and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to monitor behaviours to make sure safety rules are followed.â&#x20AC;?

Apart from noise and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hooningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the majority of complaints concerned jetskiers operating too close to the shore, other vessels or swimmers. Water police have been conducting a major boating safety and compli-

ance operation over the holiday period which has been targeting general water safety, operator licences and boat registrations, in addition to the crackdown on jet ski operators. Operation Colossus has also in-

volved the deployment of plain clothes officers on the foreshore who are able to observe the behaviour of boat and personal watercraft operators and reporting any dangerous behaviour to water police vessels.

Switch in time stands test Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au SWITCHING partners during a double date with friends led to life-long love for Bonbeach couple Reg and Joyce Musgrove. And after six decades of marriage, there’s no chance of them ever swapping each other back. As the pair celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on 22 January, they cast their minds back to their first date. Joyce, 84, said Reg and a mate took her and her friend Marie to the movies at Mordialloc in 1945 when she was aged 16 and Reg was 17. However, Reg was paired up with Marie while Joyce went to the movies with his mate. Reg lived in the same street as Marie in Chelsea and decided he would prefer to date Joyce in future so he and his mate agreed on a swap – with the girls’ permission. “I don’t remember which movie we saw but I do remember Reg bought me lots of lollies and chocolates, so I would go out with him again,” Joyce said. The couple dated for four years and were married on 22 January 1949 at the Congregational Church in Chelsea. They honeymooned in Mildura, but Joyce said the secret to their long marriage was the fact that the honeymoon had never ended. “Here we are 65 years later and Reg is still buying me lovely things,” she said. 85-year-old Reg owned a butch-

er’s shop in Carrum for almost seven decades before retirement. He said he loved the daily interaction with regular customers in the area. “This is a great area with great people,” Reg said. Reg and Joyce had three children – two sons and a daughter – and now have several grandchildren and a cou-

ple of great-granchildren. They said “communication and sharing a sense of humour” were the secret to their long and happy marriage. Reg added that learning to keep quiet at times also stood him in good stead. Joyce had a sparkle in her eyes as she looked back upon her life with Reg and their family.

Record a breeze at Bonbeach PARTICIPANTS in the Port Phillip Downwinder event will try to smash the record for the longest windsurfing race in the world. The windsurfing event will be held in Port Phillip Bay, with an aim to enter the Guinness World Records, on the weekend of the 8-9 February. Windsurfers from around Victoria prove their abilities in the Port Phillip Downwinder, a challenging 30-kilometer windsurfing endurance race. The sailing marathon will start at Bonbeach and finish at St Kilda at the top of Port Phillip Bay. Spectators will be able to watch the action, as windsurfers sail within 50 meters of the coast, at speeds between 20-30 knots. The competitors make close passes to shore near Ricketts South beach in Beaumaris and Green Point in Brighton. They will also be seen from beaches along Beach Rd. The existing longest windsurfing race in the world is the Lancelin Ocean Classic Windsurfing Marathon, held annually in Lancelin. That course measured 25.62 kilometers (15.92 miles), on the 12th January, 2008. Visit Windsurfing Victoria at wv.org.au for further details. Windsurfing Victoria is supported by Mordialloc Sailing Club.

Dogs gone, thieves sought Continued from Page 1 They told the woman it was their puppy called “Charlie” who had been missing for two months, putting him into the car before driving away. Bobby’s owners, a family with three children reported the theft to police and were also said to be dev-

astated by the loss of their beloved puppy. Investigators do not believe the thefts are linked. Anyone who may have information about the missing dogs should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au

Lost dog: Scruffy the puppy was stolen from Mordialloc much to its owner’s distress.

THE members at Mentone Mordialloc Art Group usually study art movements, but now their getting ready for a move of their own. The group has called the Old Granary Lane building in Mentone home since the 1970s but is preparing to move to new premises early next year. Club president Marg Duke said that while the members were sad to leave their old home, they were happy with their proposed new base. “Kingston council has been great in helping us find a place to move to,” Ms Duke said. “And in the meantime,

it’s business as usual for us, with new members welcome to join.” The Granary Lane building has come to the end of its natural life and is set to be demolished to make way for a pedestrian pathway behind Mentone Parade shops as part of the Mentone Activity Centre Structure Plan unveiled by Kingston Council in July 2011. The Mentone Mordialloc Art Group supports Kingston artists to fulfil their potential by hosting regular art classes and demonstrations. The group was established in 1956, so the group’s committee is pleased its long-term future has been secured. A move to the Mentone Activity Hub in Venice St is on the cards and council

will provide a dedicated space for the art group, nestled among other community organisations that will share the new building space. Ms Duke said the existing Granary Lane building “has a lot of character” but members should find the new location easier to access with more allocated car parking also available.  An annual membership subscription to join the Mentone Mordialloc Art Group is $40 (concessions and seniors $30). Classes take place on Saturdays at 10am-12pm. Term 1 is due to begin on 3 February-4 April. Contact Lorna Moore on 9584 6376 for further information. Visit www.mentone-mordiallocartgroup.org.au

Shedding new light on men BRAESIDE has a new shed – and it’s a strictly men-only affair. Dingley Village, Waterways and Braeside residents are set to benefit from the redevelopment of two adjoining sheds to form a new men’s shed thanks to a $60,000 state government grant. Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford attended the opening of the men’s shed at the weekend. “I’ve been working with the Dingley Village Men’s Shed and Braeside Park for quite some time to get this together. I encourage men to join up and get involved,” Ms Wreford said. Men’s Shed president Warren Duncan said support from the Kingston community and businesses had been incredible. “I cannot praise the Dingley Village Neighbourhood Centre enough. We have 72 members after only 16 months and now that Parks Victoria has granted us a lease to operate at the park we have a real home,” Mr Duncan said. “The men have been meeting regularly at the neighbourhood centre and member’s homes keeping busy with woodwork, metalwork and bike repairs for charities.” The Dingley Village Bendigo Bank also presented a start-up grant for the men’s shed. Almost $4.9 million will be invested to build 41 new Men’s Sheds across Victoria. The state government will provide more than $2.2 million through the $4 million Strengthening Men’s Sheds initiative, while nearly $2.7 million will be provided by councils, federal government, philanthropic organisations, community groups and fundraising activities. Anybody interested in joining the men’s shed can contact Warren on 0430 034130 or dvms3172@gmail.com

January 2014 IT’S been a hot and fiery start to 2014, with many of our local emergency services volunteers heading off to help fight fires across the state. The southern metropolitan region, which includes Patterson River, Skye and Carrum Downs, is the CFA’s busiest with more than 35,000 emergency calls each year. The service that these amazing men and women provide cannot be understated and we should never let them forget they are thanked and appreciated. HAD the honour of welcoming Australia’s newest citizens during Frankston and Kingston celebrations on Australia Day. Seeing the pride on the faces of those taking the oath of allegiance reminds me how lucky we are to live in a place where democracy and freedom are cherished. GRANTS of up to $20,000 are now available to community groups and organisations as part of the ANZAC Centenary 2014-2018 commemorations. The grants can be used for projects that honour and share the stories of Victorian service men and women and their communities, and may include a new war memorial, books about local contributions to the war effort, or commemorative events. To learn more, and to apply for assistance from the Anzac Centenary Community Grants Program, visit www.veterans.vic. gov.au or call 1300 366 356. IT concerns me that some people still ignore the dangerous effects of exposure to too much sun. Even during our recent record heatwave there were some who ventured out unprotected from the sun’s rays, In 2012, melanoma was the fifth most common new cancer in Victoria with 2,261 people diagnosed and another 313 dying from the disease. We need to be aware and cover up. Skin cancer is a high price to pay for ignorance. I WAS pleased to accompany Parliamentary Secretary for Police and Emergency Services, David Southwick, on a recent visit to the Carrum Downs police station, Carrum Downs CFA and Frankston SES. This was a great opportunity to meet emergency service leaders in the area and talk about issues, concerns and developments affecting all three organisations. This was particularly important to me as their new representative in state government following the recent electorate boundary changes.

Fire bans in place NO fires can be lit in the open across the Kingston area as from Monday. The CFA last week declared a Fire Danger Period (FDP) and warned residents to be “fire ready”. During the danger period, fires cannot be lit in the open air without a written permit from the CFA or the municipal fire prevention officer at Kingston Councils Anyone lighting a fire in the open without a permit faces fines of $17,000 and/or 12 months in jail. Barbecues and fires for cooking and warmth do not require a permit, but must be lit in properly constructed fireplaces and not be used in winds exceeding 10km/h. The danger period was declared after the CFA assessed fuel moisture, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall. A glimpse of what could occur was vividly demonstrated on Tuesday 14 January when a fire that started in the median strip of Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Dromana ignited a thatched-roofed cafe at the historic Heronswood property. Police believe the fire, which had at least two ignition points, was deliberately lit. Firefighters were able to prevent the blaze reaching nearby homes. Police blocked the freeway and all surround-

ing roads as the blaze spread to an area known by local fireys as Wonga Gully, between the freeway and Point Nepean Rd. “The CFA looks to the community to do the right thing by their family and neighbours, and follow the fire restrictions in place throughout the FDP,” the CFA’s southern metropolitan operations manager Trevor Owen said. “Fire restrictions are in place for a reason – to help prevent fires from starting. Preventing fires is something that every member of the community should see as their responsibility. “Last season Victoria had more than 4000 grass and bushfires, and this summer we can expect similar conditions.” Mr Owen said Victoria was one of the most fire-prone regions in the world, where just two weeks of hot, dry and windy weather could create dangerous fire conditions. “While we saw several bushfires last season, grassfires should not be underestimated. They travel faster than you can run and can kill,” he said. “Living in a grassland area with dried-out – brown or golden-coloured – grass that is more than 10 centimetres high is a significant risk to people, houses and infrastructure. “It’s not too late to protect your home and property by slashing, mowing, grazing and spraying grass. On larger properties, farms

AND to all our students heading back to school, I wish you a happy and successful year.

and farmlets, owners can create fuel breaks by grading or ploughing down to bare earth.” Mr Owen said farmers should also take precautions with haystacks, which could self-ignite in humid conditions. “Spontaneous combustion is the leading cause of haystack fires in Victoria. Stacks become dangerous when their temperature approaches about 70 degrees and can rapidly reach ignition point,” he said. “But while preparing your property is a good place to start, it’s just as important to prepare yourself and your family for fire. Before the fire season, sit down and talk to everyone you live with. Have a fire plan in place and, most importantly, practise it. “It’s up to you to check fire danger ratings every day in summer – these help you know when the conditions are dangerous enough to enact your fire plan. Remember that if you can see smoke, you’re leaving it too late. A fire that is kilometres away could be at your door in minutes.” For more information about preparing for the fire season, visit cfa.vic.gov.au or call 1800 240 667.

AROUND THE REGION

Zoo’s new unit provides safety net for seals By Keith Platt AN emergency response team has been set up by Melbourne Zoo to help seals entangled in fishing lines, rope and nets. Announced mid-December, the team was in action two days into the new year, saving a young seal tangled in plastic box wrapping. Head of the AGL marine response unit Mark Keenan said the funding would enable a two-person team to operate seven days a week for six months. When announcing the unit, Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith said it had the capacity to respond to hundreds of cases of marine mammal entanglement that occur each year in Victorian waters. Mr Keenan said the Department of Environment and Primary Industries, Parks Victoria and the fisheries department provided vessels for his team to locate and treat seals. Wind or waves would often make it difficult to catch the animals and he relied on commercial dolphin swim operators to report sightings of entangled seals. Most seal entanglements were reported at Chinaman’s Hat, a seal resting place near Port Phillip’s South Channel off Portsea. Mr Keenan said on Wednesday that he and vets connected to the zoo had developed a good knowledge about seal behaviour and tried to assess an animal’s condition before heading out. “All entanglements are bad, but some need more urgent attention than others,” he said.

Difficulties arose when trying to “dart” and sedate seals from a moving vessel. It was easier if a seal – weighing up to 250 kilograms – stayed on Chinaman’s Hat. Problems arose if it took to the water. “We have had the unfortunate experience of losing a seal, but they will certainly die a prolonged and painful death if we don’t try to disentangle it; that’s the reality.” On 3 January the response unit went to Chinaman’s Hat after Troy Muir of Polperro Dolphin Swims reported a small seal with a “plastic necklace”. It took nearly two hours to dart and catch the seal before bringing

it on board the vessel and cutting the plastic. “We were very relieved for this little guy because his entanglement was caught early, before it could cause significant pain and scarring,” Mr Keenan said. Mr Smith said the unit “brings together keepers and veterinarians from Melbourne Zoo, using their expertise to respond to sick, injured and distressed mammals in Port Phillip and along the Victorian coastline”. “The introduction of the unit will ensure Victorians always have a number to call and an expert team to respond when our marine mammals are in trouble.”

Judy Muir of Polperro Dolphin Swims said the unit was “fantastic news”. In a letter to Nepean MP Martin Dixon, Ms Muir said “distressed seals, and occasionally dolphins, entangled in the debris carelessly disposed of by humans” were often sighted by the Polperro team. “The deaths following entanglement are agonising and unusually cruel. The animals die, often of starvation or infection over a very long period. It is unnecessarily cruel,” Ms Muir stated. “Help has been hard to access and though a lot of goodwill has been displayed by those with expertise and a passion to help, budgets always determine the degree to which help can

be offered. Now we can access help and expertise. “Polperro has worked closely with Melbourne Zoo over many years and the specialised marine mammal staff there have been able to offer occasional assistance on the water. It was often most effective, resulting in an animal being freed from entrapment. There was a need for more.” Ms Muir said Melbourne Aquarium had helped collect and rehabilitate sick and exhausted turtles found on peninsula beaches. To report sick or distressed marine wildlife, call the AGL Marine Response Unit on 0447 158 676.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Multiple fires ravage the region; variety show comes to Frankston Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 31 January 1914 A FIRE, which threatened for a time to cause serious damage, occured at Rosebud on Sunday. The first outbreak occurred on Saturday afternoon, rapidly toward Boneo and Cape Schanck, several places in its course being saved only by great exertions. The change of wind brought the fire back towards Rosebud. Early on Sunday morning it was threatening Mr Morals’ property, where it burnt his pig sty and did other damage. Later, it crossed the road into Mr Potion’s paddock, and aided by a fresh S. W. wind, made its way to the Point Nepean road, passing close to Mr Puttun’s house, and burning right up to the unoccupied house owned by Mr Adams, which, however, was saved. The danger was to sooner seen to be over at this point than a fresh burst of flame approaching from a point further west once more threatened Mr Potton’s dwelling, which again escaped, though the flames approached too close to be pleasant. The burning of a fire break along the Jetty road to prevent a possible change of wind carrying the fire to the west caused the house occupied by Mr Chilton to be in danger for a while, but once again, the flames stopped when almost within reach of their prey. A large number of people, both residents and visitors, were engaged in fighting the flames, which several times set fire to the grass and scrub on the seaward side of the Point Nepean

road. Several house-holders either removed, or prepared to remove, their portable property when the danger was at its greatest; but, luckily, nothing more valuable than fencing was burnt, and several falls of rain have since effectually quenched the outbreak. *** A SERIOUS bush and grass fire occurred on Mount Eliza on Saturday last. The fire started at Rowans Gully, and before it was checked great damage had been done to grass and fencing on the properties of Messrs Walker Bros, Moseley, J. Smith, Fulton, L. Davey, and Ansell. Orchard and cultivation paddock fences were destroyed, with the result that the cattle wandered at will, and finished the damage commenced by the fire. It was only by very strenuous efforts on the part of a body of fire-fighters that several of the homesteads were saved. *** ON Thursday evening next, 5th February, in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, Mr G. W. and Madame Maude Heller, well known mystifiers and entertainers, assisted by first-class artists, will make their first appearance. Mr Heller is a mystifier and laugh maker; Madame Maude Heller, clairvoyant; the Orpheus Trio, vocalists and instrumentalists; Miss Helen Gordon, dramatic soprano; Sisters Litherland, vocalists and duettists; and Mr Will Fairbank, comedian. These entertainments are described by the press as being refined, interesting and unique. *** TENDERS are invited in this issue for the work of reconstructing and

metalling the Point Nepean Road, from near Carrum to Oliver’s Hill, Frankston, under the provisions of the Country Roads Board. ***

Tenders are invited in this issue for the work of reconstructing and metalling the Point Nepean Road, from near Carrum to Oliver’s Hill, Frankston, under the provisions of the County Roads Board.

MR and Mrs Hugh Robertson, who travelled to England for their honeymoon, returned to Melbourne on Monday. Their many Frankston friends will be pleased to see them back amongst them again. Mr and Mrs H. Collins, of “Gracehill” Frankston, are shortly leaving on a nine months trip to the old country. We wish them a pleasant journey and a safe return. *** MRS Jean White (matron Melbourne Boys’ Seaside Home, Frankston) desires to thank Mrs J. Guumes

for jellies, and Mrs M. Jacobs for box of sweets, donated to the Boys Xmas Treat, their names having been inadvertently omitted from list of donations. *** MISS McDonald, late of Talbot, has been appointed by the Education Department to take charge of the Moorooduc State School. Miss J. A. Morris formerly head teacher, who underwent an operation for appendicitis, at Dr Mootes private hospital, is we are pleased to state, convalescent. *** THE Dromana Sports Club annual meeting is advertised to take place on St. Patrick’s Day (17th March). The programme is a good one (see advertisement) and embraces horse and pony races, foot running, &c., for which liberal prizes are offered. Entries close 7th of March. *** OUR readers are requested to bear in mind the bazaar which is advertised to he held in the Somerville Show Shed and Grounds on Friday and Saturday next, under the auspices of the Fruitgrowers’ Ladies’ Guild. A Parliamentary contingent will start the ball rolling at 3 o’clock on Friday afternoon, and from then to the closing of the bazaar, the ladies anticipate a busy time. The proceeds are to go towards paying for the show ground. *** IT will be seen by advertisement in another column that the annual general meeting of the Westernport Progress Association will be held at the Hastings Hall, on Thursday February 12th at 8 p.m. All interested whether members or not, are invited

to attend. A most interesting report of the large amount of work done during the past year will be submitted for consideration by the meeting. *** A GARDEN Fete will be held in the Convent Grounds, Mornington, to liquidate the debt on the Central Novitiate, Ascot Vale. The Fete will be a opened on Wednesday, 4th February, at 3 p.m. by His Grace the Archbishop (The Most Rev. Dr. Carr) and His Grace the Coadjutor Archbishop (The Most Rev. Dr. Mannix), and will be continued till Saturday evening, the 7th February. St. Augustine’s Band of 30 performers will be in attendance on opening day (Wednesday). *** SNAKES have been very prevalent in the Langwarrin district this season due, it is said, by one keen nature student, to the wanton destruction of the blue tongued lizard. This harmless reptile it appears, consumes the same kind of food as the snakes, and his destruction enables the snake to obtain his food easier and when food is plentiful the species increase. They have been most frequent where the land has been followed and left without harrowing. One neighbour turned up six on one acre. They have been found in water holes and shallow wells. One dropped down a shallow well on Mrs Saunders property, and an attempt to charm the reptile out was made by Miss and Master Saunders. Lured by the invigorating strains of an accordion played by Miss Saunders the reptile rose twice to the surface of the water and was twice wounded by gunshots aimed by Master Saunders.

Performance LISA McCune will play Anna Leonowens in the Tony Award-winning Australian production of The King and I, which is being revived this year by John Frost and Opera Australia. The King of Siam will be played by by Jason Scott Lee. The King and I also stars Chinese-born Australian opera singer Shu-Cheen Yu as Lady Thiang and Adrian Li Donni as Lun Tha, and is directed by Christopher Renshaw, with scenic design by Brian Thomson, costumes by Roger Kirk and lighting by Nigel Levings. John Frost’s now legendary Australian production premiered at the Adelaide Festival Theatre in 1991. Directed by West End director Christopher Renshaw and starring Hayley Mills as Anna, it played to sell out houses around the country. In 1996, the production went on to win four Tony Awards on Broadway: Best Revival of a Musical, Best Performance by an Actress in a Musical (Donna Murphy), Best Scenic Design (Brian Thomson) and Best Costume Design (Roger Kirk). The Broadway season was followed by a US tour. In 2000, the production opened at the London Palladium with Elaine Paige as Anna where it played for nearly two years before embarking on a UK tour. Christopher Renshaw returns to Australia to revive the production, with its stunning Thai-inspired set design by Brian Thomson, sumptuous costumes by Roger Kirk and lighting by Nigel Levings. Susan Kikuchi will recreate the original Jerome Robbins choreography as well as the choreography of her mother Yuriko who appeared in the 1951 Broadway production and the 1956 film. The King and I opens in at the Princess Theatre, Melbourne in June. Tickets 1300 111 011. www.thekingandimusical.com.au *** Many TV fans are mourning the deaths of Russell Johnson, who played Professor in Gilligan’s Island and

Dave Madden, who was the band manager Reuben Kincaid in the TV series The Partridge Family. Canadian-born Madden also appeared in Bewitched, Barney Miller, Happy Days, The Love Boat and Fantasy Island. Russell Johnson also appeared in 77 Sunset Strip, Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Wagon Train and The Twilight Zone. Johnson admitted he had trouble finding work after Gilligan’s Island, having become typecast. *** AUSTRALIA’S favourite album of 2013 was a Pink album released in 2012. Pink’s The Truth About Love has been Australia’s highest-selling album for two years straight, selling more than 560,000 copies in Australia, with about 200,000 of those sold last year. Pink’s album spent four weeks at No.1 this week and 35 weeks in the Top 10. It never left the Top 40. Pink also scored the year’s highest selling music DVD with her The Truth

about Love concert, filmed in Melbourne. 2013’s second biggest seller was Katy Perry’s Prism which sold 179,000 copies in 10 weeks. The biggest selling original Australian album released in 2013 was Russell Morris’s Sharkmouth, at No.33, which sold steadily all year despite little radio support. *** Neil Diamond, one of the world’s premier recording artists, internationally renowned and record-breaking concert performer and revered songwriter has signed a long-term recording agreement with Capitol Records. This historic contract unites Diamond’s complete Columbia, Uni/MCA and Bang catalogues of recorded music for the first time, encompassing the artist’s entire body of work, from with his earliest recordings through the present day. The agreement also returns the artist to Universal Music where he achieved numerous hit singles and albums with

the company’s labels in the late-1960s and early 1970s. Diamond – a Grammy winner, Kennedy Center honoree and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – has sold more than 128 million records worldwide, and garnered an astounding 72 multi-Platinum, Platinum and Gold album certifications in the United States alone. Diamond is currently writing songs and planning to enter the studio to record a new album later this year. Concurrently, a comprehensive plan for the artist’s catalogue is being conceived and executed by Capitol and Universal Music Enterprises (UMe), in conjunction with Diamond and his management team. Throughout an illustrious and wideranging musical career, Neil Diamond has had 37 Top 10 singles and 16 Top 10 albums in the USA. His most recent studio releases, 2008’s Home Before Dark debuted at No.1 in the U.S. and UK, and 2010’s Dreams, a collection of Diamond’s favourite songs by other composers from the rock era, debuted in the Top 10 and was highly critically acclaimed. www.theinsoundfromwayout.com *** ON 7 February 1964, The Beatles arrived at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport, greeted by scores of screaming, swooning fans who rushed the gate to catch a glimpse of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr as they took their first steps on American soil. Two nights later, on Sunday 9 February, 74 million viewers in the US and millions more in Canada tuned in to CBS to watch The Beatles make their American television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of these history-making events, The U.S. Albums, a new 13-CD Beatles collection spanning 1964’s Meet the Beatles! to 1970’s Hey Jude, was released on 17 January by Apple Corps Ltd/Capitol.

then bad mouthing to others; almost all chasing their tails. As Thoreau said: “Let us spend one day as deliberately as nature and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell that falls on the rails.” Another said: “To be busy with toys is small purpose.” Seneca replied: “Better to do no end than nothing.” Psychiatrist Glen Wilson did a multitasking study concluding the brain function addles. Doubtful, though likely, if watching porn. *** DIDN’T Billy Snedden get into a bit of bother when overseas years ago or am I getting him mixed up with Malcolm Fraser? I’ll bet he or they received first-class consular help. If you’re tripping off overseas make sure the Yanks like you in addition to your health insurance. David Hicks, Mamdouh Habib and Julian Assange appear to have incurred the wrath of our government in line with USA thinking. Even Greenpeace activist Colin Russell’s treatment appears to stem from a political situation. It would be nice to think all Australians who get into bother overseas are treated equally. It will never happen but we ordinary people like to have dreams. Maybe it depends how my ASIO mates look at it? Is there a country in this world where

anti-terrorist laws are not abused? The law is maintained by humans. If you watched the SBS program Persons of Interest you will have seen ASIO in action from 1945 onwards and the bully boys naive handling of innocent Australians. It’s one thing to check on persons endangering our country’s security but why all this concentration on family and friends? Puffed-up prefects of the wowser variety. There’s always been a list. No more communists, so other than real or suspected terrorists who else is on the current list? Leftists? Activists? Surely not socialists? Nobody’s nose knows. *** I SOMETIMES wonder about our politicians. Other than the odd fiddle with their travel expenses we never hear of any scandals of the “who’s on with who?” variety. There has to be impervious agreement between the Canberra press and pollies. Common sense assures us of muchos philandering. The French agreement was apparently broken two years ago, now French president Francois Hollande is supposedly having it on with an actress making worldwide headlines; no more privacy protection there. Yes, they’re a boring lot in Canberra but human nature rarely takes a holiday. My instincts tell me Christopher

Pyne in Canberra and locally Peter Ryan have no fears of gossip. Nothing even on those crooked state Labor powerbrokers in Sydney? *** Let’s hear it for Frankston. First from three former mayors followed by letters from residents on the joys of living there. I’ve always liked Frankston, not Geoff Shaw obviously, nor the way the shopping precinct has been mauled by design, nor the impossibility of getting a parking spot near the hospital or the train station but the rest is good stuff. I laughed when reading in The Age of the disrespectful comments if one mentions living there. I lived there for 5 years, Bonbeach for 7 years and currently reside in Rye. The Mornington Peninsula is wracked with a subtle form of snobbery but surely no different than anywhere else? I’m betting Navy types will think they are superior to Army types and so on. Never to be taken seriously; it’s a joke. *** Super funds aside, there are certain other things which shall forever remain a mystery. The enthusiasm of many Australians for Halloween and 20/20 cricket? Then there’s the ever constant question of the reason why so many poorer people (I’m a paid-up member) honestly believe Tony Abbott’s government will govern in their interests? Unbelievably some are smokers and

The Beatles’ American albums differed from the band’s UK albums in a variety of ways, including different track lists, song mixes, album titles, and art. The albums are presented in mono and stereo, with the exception of The Beatles’ Story and Hey Jude, which are in stereo only. Collected in a boxed set with faithfully replicated original LP artwork, including the albums’ inner sleeves, the 13 CDs are accompanied by a 64-page booklet with Beatles photos and promotional art from the time, as well as a new essay by American author and television executive Bill Flanagan. For a limited time, all of the albums (with the exception of The Beatles’ Story, an audio documentary album) will also be available for individual CD purchase. A Hard Day’s Night (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), The Beatles’ Story, Yesterday and Today, Hey Jude, and the US version of Revolver make their CD debuts with these releases. www.thebeatles.com *** TOP 10 ALBUMS 1.

A Grain of Salt IT’S all good news readers. Petrol at $1.50 a litre, prices up on electricity, water, everything and anything, and our mate Kevin Andrews is having a close and justifiable look at welfare payments. A bonfire for shareholders and big business and we are burning up, but worry not. Eventually, interminably, we will get through it. Hope springs eternal if we live long enough. Buy up big on baked beans and spaghetti; walk to Woolies. If you smoke, buy tobacco and get out the potato peelings. If you fancy a beer, try the home brew. Bread and dripping. We on the peninsula look lovingly to the day after Australia Day and the exodus; a small ray of sunshine. How sweet it is. *** I HAVE an unsettled mind - pretty good at some things but no one particular skill. It provides me with petrol, without which the car stands still. Spending an hour at a cafe forms part of my busy schedule, as does drinking two or three pots daily. I don’t have much money but I don’t require a lot. I read the newspapers for comedy.

Two of my struggling friends read The Australian newspaper, ever wary of socialists? During our last exchange I offered them the opportunity to look under my bed; declined. *** The wowsers are off the leash with the alcohol question. Expect the odd piece of questionable research (warped statistics) on the evils of drinking from questionable sources...Once it hits you of the need to be liked and you recognise your own dark side along with everyone else’s, everything falls into place...Who was the fool who suggested drivers over 70 should be subject to annual driving tests?...“Two Wongs don’t make a white” said Arthur Calwell; nothing has changed apparently...”Summertime and the yobbos are easy, hoons are jumpin’ and the bogans are high; the louts are rich and the creeps are good lookin’; so hush little baby, don’t you cry” [Michael Leunig, genius]...hooroo... www.ello8.com

The evolution of the resolution By Stuart McCullough ANOTHER year is now firmly upon us. Granted, it will take me at least another six weeks before I start denoting the date with a ‘14’ instead of a ‘13’, but I’ll eventually get used to it. It’s a strange habit, but as the old calendar is replaced by the new, people make rash declarations about the year ahead that range from the well meaning to the hopelessly misguided. It’s easy to dismiss them as the inevitable result of a celebration where sobriety is generally the first casualty. But in the spirit of turning over a new leaf, then turning it over again because I preferred it the way it was, I have decided to make some new year’s resolutions of my own. But before I make a series of hasty promises to myself that I’m unlikely to keep, it’s worth asking the big question: what does 2014 actually mean? In a strict sense, it means that the earth has rotated around the sun more than two thousand times since the Gregorian calendar first recorded time as ‘Anno Domini’, symbolized as ‘AD’. The term ‘Anno Domini’ does not – as some mistakenly believe – stand for ‘after death’. Roughly translated from Latin, it actually means ‘I feel like Chicken tonight’. It must be said that two thousand odd trips around the sun is something of an achievement, to say nothing of the kind of frequent flyer points our planet must have accumulated. But after that many trips around the block, our planet knows well enough that not all years are the same.

Some arrive with a reputation. For instance, the year ‘2012’ was somewhat cruelled by claims that the world would come to a screeching, shuddering halt. The source of this woefully inaccurate tip was said to be the ancient Mayans whose calendar only went up to the year 2012. To capitalise on the threat of impending doom, Hollywood produced a movie, creatively

entitled 2012 about the end of the world. It was a film so bad that, as an alternative to watching the movie, the end of the world seemed pretty appealing. To date, no one has threatened to make a movie about 2014 AD. This, it must be said, must be regarded as a positive sign. So what should my resolution be? For starters, I think it’s worth avoiding

anything unrealistic, even if that means letting go of some of my long-held ambitions. For that reason, it’s time to surrender the dream of ever getting to sing All My Loving as a fully-fledged member of the Johnny Young Talent Team (as per it’s original incarnation and not the resuscitated ‘Glee-light’ monstrosity). My quest to invent an eight-day week, resulting in a permanent three-day weekend will now be left to wither on the vine. ‘Sunday’ will now never be followed by ‘Funday’. The less said about my mission to translate the works of Shakespeare into Klingon, the better. (‘To be or not to be’ is all well and good for conventional types, but “taH pagh taHbe’” has a real ring to it. I’m almost certain that the Bard would have been a Star Trek fan.) So what should I resolve? Conventional resolutions take the form of eating better, losing weight and spending time with family. I have nothing against any of those things, but they’re hardly very imaginative. In fact, all kinds of claims of selfimprovement are made when staring down the barrel of a new year. Finances, diet and kindness and common subjects also. I’m torn. On the one hand, I want to avoid being predictable and for my objectives to have a little glamour about them. But I’m desperate to avoid being so unrealistic as to be utterly delusional. There’s no point waiting – the time has come to declare my hand. So here’s my resolution for the New Year: I will not become embroiled in an armed skirmish in the Baltic states.

Just to be clear, that’s without exception and even if provoked. I also declare that I will not attempt to land a manned space mission on the planet Mars without first seeking permission from the intergalactic overlords that currently rule the red planet with a green but ultimately iron-like fist. If that doesn’t sound like enough, then finally there’s this: I sincerely promise to stop writing weekly letters to Johnny Young to plead my case for a mature age entry scheme to his Talent School. This will come as a relief not only to Johnny but to my wife also who, I think, is tiring from my insistence that I sew sequins on all my clothes. I’m quietly confident that I’ll fulfill my resolutions. Truth be told, I very much doubt that it will even be a close run thing. I suppose it’s easy enough to ridicule those who go out of their way to make a new year’s resolution, but there’s something nice about it. In fact, it’s kind of inspiring. The declaration that, in future, we will do things a little better says much about the inherently optimistic nature of human beings. We want to improve because we always think we can. The heralding of a new year is as much about farewelling the old and, for me, I won’t miss 2013 much. That’s not because I was drawn into a Balkan conflict or that I resent not getting a reply from Johnny Young. It’s more that I always think I can do better. Best wishes for 2014. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Kangas claim big scalp, now third PROVINCIAL By IT Gully LANGWARRIN has moved to outright fourth on the MPCA Provincial ladder after beating Baxter on Saturday. The Kangaroos have joined third placed Long Island on 72 points, a game clear of Baxter and Mt Eliza, who now hold fifth and sixth place respectively on the ladder. It was an important win for the visitors, who had failed to claim a big scalp this season. In tough tests prior to Christmas, Langwarrin failed to beat both Sorrento and Mornington. However, on Saturday, they were able to defend the 8/301 they set on the first week of the match. The Kangas didn’t have things all their own way. A 107-run partnership between Daniel Warwick and Dean Sterry took the Baxter score from 2/24 to 3/131, getting the home side back in the contest. Warwick was eventually claimed by Matt Davie for 86, while Sterry was stumped by Danny Weare off the bowling of Dwayne Doig for 38. Baxter then slumped to 7/155 before the tail offered some resistance. Ben Smith stood strong at the end with a good half century, finishing not out 50. Baxter was eventually all out for 236, the last two batsmen falling victim to Matt Prosser. Davie was the pick of the bowlers yet again for Langwarrin, claiming 4/54 to give him 21 wickets for the season. Doig finished with 2/79 from 31 overs and Prosser claimed 2/52. Mt Eliza beat Crib Point as expected. But it wasn’t the pace attack that upset the Magpies, it was the unlikely Jason Mathers who caused the damage, snaring a sensational 6/4 from nine overs. In a cut-throat contest where the result was vital, the Mounties were able to bowl the Magpies out for just 110 in 46 overs.

It is going to be extremely hard now for the Magpies to make the finals, while Mt Eliza is just a game outside the top bracket. The Pies got away to a reasonable start, Henry Dolphin and Matt Blake scoring 28 and 22 respectively. They put on 51 for the opening stand. However, things turned pear-shaped after Blake was dismissed. Crib Point went from 0/51 to 7/85. Tom Baron helped himself to 2/35 while opening bowlers Sam Creffield and Justin Savio took a wicket each. Long Island had little trouble disposing of Rye. The Islanders were just eight wickets away from victory when play resumed and took little time to wrap things up. Rye was all out for 91, Ben Ashworth (25) and Aaron Fiddes (24) the only two batsmen to score double figures for the Demons. Scott Phillips snared four wickets for the Islanders, while Chris Hocking and Greg Lamb picked up a couple each. Peninsula Old Boys easily got the 187 runs needed for victory against Moorooduc. The Old Boys had a number of batsmen who were prepared to get into partnerships and the result was 261 runs in 69 overs. Brandon Lawler scored 59 at the top of the innings to be the best of the Old Boys batsmen, while Wade Pelzer (45), Jon Forrest (29) and Glenn Prendergast (24) all contributed to the scoreboard. Brayden Gleeson was the best of the Ducs’ bowlers with 5/43 from nine overs. Mornington went for the outright victory against Mt Martha but couldn’t get the result. After scoring 271 themselves, the Dogs bowled Mt Martha out for 112 in 46 overs. With a further 34 overs left in the match, the Doggies went for the outright. Stumps were pulled after 26 overs with the Reds offering plenty of resistance and finishing on 3/62.

Back in the mix: Hastings managed to finish off Ballam Park at the weekend in their District match and keep their finals hopes alive after bowling out the opposition for 73 and 83 the previous weekend. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Upsets leave District wide open DISTRICT By IT Gully THE MPCA District cricket season has been thrown a curve ball after the results of Round 8. The final four is far from settled after some upsets and a couple of outright victories on the weekend. Seaford Tigers throwing away a golden opportunity against Somerville has opened the door for another five teams to make the finals. The Tigers were chasing just 97 for victory against the Eagles but fell seven runs short, bowled out for 90. A win for the Tigers would have given them a 16-point buffer over Main Ridge and Hastings. The Blues have shot back into contention after picking up an outright win against Ballam Park. Baden Powell is also back in the mix after picking-up an outright win against Seaford. However, it was Seaford Tigers who coughed up a massive opportunity to shoot clear on the ladder. After bowling out the visitors for just 90 in 60 overs, the Tigers had a golden opportunity to grab the initiative.

They were resuming at 4/22 but had Corey Hand and Ash Mills ready in the sheds to come out to bat. It made little difference with Mills out for 11 and Hand 10. When Hand was dismissed, the Tigers were 7/70. David James offered some resistance and scored 15 but he was trapped in front by Aaron Kaddatz and the Tigers were all out for 90. In unbelievable circumstance, the Tigers were given the opportunity for a reverse outright. Somerville batted again and was bowled out for 64. Sam Delaney probably saved the game for the Eagles with 40 off his own bat. Needing 72 for victory off 12 overs, the Tigers had a fair crack at it but could only manage 48 runs. They lost six wickets in the process. Kaddatz finished with six wickets for the match, while Russell Wilkes claimed four. Corey Hand snared 4/19 in Somerville’s first inning and 6/16 in the second. Hastings is right back in the mix after scoring an outright win against Ballam Park.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 29 January 2014

After making 9/240, the Blues then bowled out the Knights for 73 and 83. When play resumed on Saturday, Hastings needed to take another 15 wickets. Ballam Park was only able to add a further 18 runs to its overnight score of 5/55, Isuru Dias getting 5/20 and Mitchell Floyd taking 3/24. The Blues sent the visitors straight back into bat and things were only marginally better for them the second time around – they scored an additional 10 runs. This time it was Luke Hewitt who did the damage with the ball, helping himself to 5/12 from 9.2 overs. Ben King claimed 2/17 from 10 to help the Blues to victory. Michael Casey was the Knights’ top scorer in the second innings with 23. Matty Roach made just three after being dismissed for a duck in the first innings. Pines had little trouble knocking over Boneo. Defending 278, Pines always had the upper hand to win the match. Boneo was bowled out for just 137, Leigh Lowry top scoring with 33, while Chris Jobling at the other end of

the batting card scoring 22. Ricky Ramsdale was the best of the Piners bowlers with 3/40 from 13 overs, while Jake Prosser (2/6), Pat Jackson (2/25) and Brett Hudgson (2/34) all contributed to the win. Delacombe Park cruised to victory against Flinders. The Parkers had 9/198 on the board and certainly had the bowlers to be able to defend that total. It proved to be the case, Flinders rolled for just 136. Dwayne Field, after snaring 2/53 with the ball, backed up with the bat and top scored with 30 for Flinders, while Tom Clements was next best with 28. Shane Deal picked up 3/23 to be the best of the Parkers’ bowlers, while Chris Brittain added 3/31 to his 32 with the bat. Baden Powell is also mathematically back in the finals hunt after beating Seaford outright. Still 16 points outside of the top four, things would have to fall the Braves way for them to make it, whilst they need to find some more consistency themselves to challenge. On Saturday, their bowlers were at their best.

The game was in the balance when play resumed. Seaford had made 120 on day one and Baden Powell was resuming at 6/96. However, the Braves got to 123 before losing another wicket and immediately sent Seaford back into bat. They rolled Seaford for 134 and needed 130-odd themselves with 18 overs left to play. Rhys Elmi added 56 to his 39 in the first innings to steer the ship to victory. The Braves got the runs with four overs to spare. Main Ridge slumped from an overnight score of 2/57 to be all out for 121 to lose their match against Carrum. Carrum was defending just 162 for victory and eventually cruised to victory. Brad Rossborough was the first to go for the day after just four runs had been added, before wickets consistently tumbled after that. Travis Barker top scored with 26, batting at seven. Jackson Fry and Lachy Dobson were both superb. After relatively quiet seasons to date for the teenagers, Fry (5/31) and Dobson (5/55) dominated the Ridge batsmen.

Tooters still in the finals hunt after win SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK is in the finals hunt after beating PEARCEDALE in MPCA Sub District cricket on Saturday. After scoring 205 in their first innings, the Tooters needed to be at their best with the ball to win the game. For the winner of the match, it meant a one-game buffer over the other and a position just outside the top four. There were stages throughout the match when it appeared Pearcedale was going to get the 206 needed for victory. However, Zac Stevenson, Luke Thompson and Mathew Whelen really took on the challenge of bowling their side to victory. They were superb, Whelan claiming four wickets and Stevenson and Thompson three each. Mitch Andrew top scored for the Panthers with 60 and Shayne Gillings and Stefan Bock each contributed 30 to the Pearcedale total. Skye has given itself plenty of confidence coming into final to beat top of the table Red Hill. Skye resumed at 8/69, chasing Skyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first innings total of 173,

which they scored in 47 overs. The Hillmen tail did offer some resistance and added a further 53 runs to the total to get them to 122. Ken Sullivan, batting at 10, contributed 30 runs and Ross Corfield hit an unbeaten 18, batting at 11. Pat Clinch was the best of the Skye bowlers with 5/56, including the important wicket of Sullivan. Skye batted until stumps were finally drawn and finished at 9/121. Red Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Luke Toy picked up 5/29 in the second innings. Rosebud held on to third place on the ladder with a 53-run victory against Dromana. The Buds were defending 268 and the Hoppers got off to a reasonable start in the chase. Mark Whitehead scored 23 at the top of the innings, Jay Hutchison scored 44 in only his second First XI game this season and Andrew Thomson scored 31. However, the Hoppers went from 1/70 to 4/72 and the game was pretty much over at that point. Jedd Savage came in and top scored with 53 and Steven Watsford hit 33 but the Rosebud bowlers were always in command.

Patrick Nagel continued his resurgence as a star of the competition, the Under 16 quick opening the bowling and claiming 4/30 from 21 overs. His â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jason claimed 3/83 from 32 overs and Brian Doughty finished with 3/33 from eight overs. Balnarring made light work of Carrum Downs. Balnarring set a monster total of 9/288 on week one of the match, Mark Walles top scoring with 66. The Cougars could only manage slightly less than half of the oppositionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score. Josh Harkness top scored for the Cougars with 40 and teenager Luke Broomhall was next best with 22. James Wisken was the pick of the Balnarring bowlers with 4/20. In the final game, Frankston YCW scored 279 in reply to Tyabbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 191.
