Rocky ground FORMER amateur boxing champ Jason Murphy is looking for a new home for his Edithvale gym following news the former St Colombia’s Anglican Church building in Lochiel Ave is to be demolished to make way for residential apartments. The church, built in 1910, was vacant for several years until the Edithvale resident hit upon an idea to put it to good use by opning a boxing gym for young people in the area. Now he’s on the lookout for a new base to train his enthusiastic young charges, who include his 13-year-old son Jackson who won his first amateur fight this month and will contest the Victorian Novice Title in November.

Odds drift for pokies plan By Neil Walker KINGSTON council may oppose an application by Edithvale-Chelsea RSL to increase the number of electronic gaming machines at the venue. Edithvale-Chelsea RSL currently has 65 gaming machines and will apply to the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation to lift the

number by 15 to 80. The EdithvaleChelsea sub-branch was formed in July 2011 when Aspendale-Edithvale RSL merged with Chelsea RSL. The merged entity has a licence for 113 machines but requires VCGLR approval to install additional pokies. If the 15 additional gaming machines are installed, the RSL has pledged to

renovate and refurbish the venue, increase community funding and welfare programs and expand the ‘Digger for a Day’ program so all students in area schools can access the program. Edithvale-Chelsea RSL president Michael Weissenfeld said funds raised by the new machines would go back into the community.

“We support schools, sporting clubs and local emergency services including the SES and CFA,” Mr Weissenfeld said. He said the RSL did not intend to use all of the EGM licences it held and may consider selling off the remaining licences. Councillors decided to consider the additional machines at the RSL prem-

ises on Thames Promenade in accordance with council’s policy to curb the negative impact of poker machines in the community. South ward councillor David Eden said the RSL does great work for the community but it was important council does not support anything that harmed the community. Continued Page 6

Red letter day for green-thumbed students By Neil Walker GREEN-fingered students at Patterson River Secondary College have won their school a Victorian School Garden Awards prize. The school’s garden was chosen as a regional winner and will now go up against other schools to compete for the state title in December. The Victorian Schools Garden Awards encourage students and teachers to work together to develop green spaces within school grounds. Awards patron Paul Crowe dropped in at the school last week, arriving by helicopter to congratulate the students on their achievement and tour the school garden as part of the judgement process for the state award. Patterson River Secondary College year 9 program manager Maree Foster said the students were proud to have their gardening efforts recognised. “We have had a school garden for a number of years, but this is the first time we’ve won an award for this student and teacher-led project,” she said. The garden gives students an appreciation of sustainable food processes. Students plant seedlings and pick produce. Cooking lessons are held with tomatoes, spinach and leaks just some of the ingredients grown in the school garden. Pizzas cooked in an outdoor oven are always popular. Ms Foster said the school would offer a new elective course in horticultural studies to year 9 students from next year to capitalise on the work done in the school’s garden.

KINGSTON dog owners are being reminded that summer foreshore restrictions come into force from next month. From 1 November to 31 March dogs are not permitted on any Kingston beach from 10am to 7.30pm, seven days a week, and must remain on leash at all times at in certain locations, including the foreshore area between Plummer Road, Mentone, and High Street, Mordialloc, and from the Mordialloc Motor Yacht Club in Aspendale to the southern end of Old Post Office Lane car park at Carrum. Dogs are allowed to be off-leash from 7.30pm to 10am on the sand area in two locations – between Charman Road and Plummer Road, Mentone, and between the southern end of Old Post Office Lane car park at Carrum and the Kingston municipal boundary with the City of Frankston. While dogs are permitted on the Beach Road shared path, they are not allowed at any time in the ‘no-dog zone’ designated between High Street and the Mordialloc Pier. The no-dog zone includes the sand, foreshore reserve and Peter Scullin Reserve. For more information about parks and foreshore areas where dogs can be exercised, visit kingston.vic.gov. au/dogs

Warning over power cuts By Chris Brennan KINGSTON residents are being urged to prepare for major power outages that may occur during bushfires and extreme weather events, such as storms and heatwaves. South-east Melbourne’s main electricity distributor, United Energy, is sending 640,000 information packs to customers on what to do in the lead-up to bushfire season and how to respond to power supply cuts. United Energy chief executive Hugh Gleeson said recent wild storms and anticipation of another summer of extreme fire risk provided a timely reminder to Kingston residents of the need to be prepared for the worst.

“It is integral that customers know what important steps they need to take on their property to prepare for an emergency or outage,” Mr Gleeson said. “To reduce risks arising from weather and fire, we maintain our network year round with initiatives such as a vegetation management programs but we cannot do it alone – safety is everyone’s responsibility. “Holiday homes are often in need of vegetation maintenance if they’ve been left empty through the winter months, and the influx of people over summer means a greater load on the network. “Increased community awareness of risk factors and providing clear

instructions on what to do during an emergency situation that impacts power supply can help prevent serious injury and even loss of life. He said a brochure being sent to customers would provide advice on how to prepare for an emergency, such as having the electricity faults and emergencies line number on hand and having a battery-powered radio available to listen to weather conditions. “During a power outage, residents can check when power will be restored by sending an SMS with their postcode to 0447 100 333.” During an outage, residents are advised to check neighbours’ houses to see if they have also lost power and,

OFFICES

if a widespread power outage is confirmed, to check if any elderly or sick neighbours need help. After ensuring all lights and appliances are switched off, residents should leave one light switched on to see when the power comes back on.People should keep well clear of fallen powerlines and contact 132 099 as soon as possible. In a lifethreatening situation, always call 000. Other advice to prepare for an emergency includes keeping torches and lanterns readily accessible with fresh batteries, having access to a phone that doesn’t need electricity – such as a mobile phone or phone with a cord – and keeping mobile phones charged and, where possible, the internet active.

SEVERAL Kingston schools received environmental awards at a ceremony hosted by Kingston council at Chelsea Town Hall this month. More than 100 students graduated as marine ambassadors as part of a student leadership program run in partnership with the Dolphin Research Institute. St Louis de Montfort’s Primary School, aptly located at Dolphin St in Aspendale, was named ambassador school of the year and the school’s marine ambassadors program coordinator Julie Wynne was named coordinator of the year. Ms Wynne said the school had volunteered to have its marine ambassadors talk to new students enrolling in the ‘i sea, i care’ program to share their learned knowledge about how actions can impact on ocean environments. “I think it’s probably one of the best programs for teaching

Chelsea – Mordialloc

children about sustainability and the environment and the kids teach the teachers,” Ms Wynne said. She said the program was integrated into the school’s leadership program. Highlights of the program including a swim with dolphins at the end of the year-long program before graduation as a marine ambassador. Students also visit litter traps to see for themselves how litter thrown on the ground can end up washed out to Port Phillip Bay causing a negative impact on sea life. Aspendale Gardens Primary School was named ‘i sea, i care’ program new school of the year. Kingswood Primary School’s Maggie Crofts was supporter of the year and Rowan Torkington at St Joseph’s Primary School was ambassador of the year.

Kingston set for new mayor A NEW Kingston mayor will be elected next month and members of the public are welcome to witness the proceedings. A special council meeting to elect the new mayor will be held from 7pm on Wednesday 13 November at the council councils at the Cheltenham municipal office. The meeting also involves considering the appointment of councillors to advisory committees and setting Council meeting dates for 2014. But the main focus of the night is the vote in open Council for the new mayor, and presentation of the mayoral robes and chain of office. Those who can’t get to the meeting can watch the webcast on kingston.vic. gov.au or access the archived version when it is posted. Incumbent Mayor Ron Brownlees OAM said he felt privileged to have led the City of Kingston for the past 12 months.“The outgoing Council

completed its term in October last year so this has been a year of considerable change,” Cr Brownlees said. The community’s views were also sought on a number of topics, including the state government’s proposed residential planning rules. Cr Brownlees said one of the many highlights of 2013 was the July launch of the Living Kingston 2035 project. The plan – which incorporates the community’s vision of the future they want for Kingston in 2035 – provides a medium to long-term vision on how council will respond to the opportunities and challenges facing Kingston. “This exciting vision was launched after an extensive consultation process involving more than 5,800 community members and 13,500 ideas,” Cr Brownlees said. “We were impressed by this response and will continue to listen to our diverse community and provide opportunities for resident to have their say.”

Athlete ready to take on world SPORTSPEOPLE can share in more than $180,000 in grants to help them travel to major competitions and events under a state government program announced last week. Member for Carrum Donna Bauer said the latest round of funding from the Elite Athlete Travel Grants program would support elite athletes as they prepared for major competitions such as the 2014 Winter Olympics and

Commonwealth Games. Seaford’s Nathan Buschkuehl was one of the first athletes from the Carrum electorate to receive a grant, which will help him travel to Singapore ITU Triathlon Asian Cup. Grant recipients must be recognised by their State Sporting Association as a representative of Victoria or Australia or be eligible to compete at the highest level nationally or internationally.

Boxing gym down but not out By Neil Walker EDITHVALE is about to lose one of its most distinctive buildings early next year with the former St Colombia’s Anglican Church in Lochiel Ave set to be demolished to make way for residential apartments. The church, built in 1910, was vacant for several years until Edithvale resident Jason Murphy hit on an idea to put it to good use. Just over a year ago, the 44-year-old former bantamweight boxer, who won Australian amateur titles and fought for the professional Australian title in the early 1990s, decided to establish

Murph’s Boxing Gym to train area youths in the sport which requires fitness, determination and high levels of discipline. He has a full-time job and passes on pugilistic tips in his spare time. “I noticed local kids had been smashing up the church windows and that gave me the idea to train a few of them up,” Mr Murphy said. The boxing gym has a real old-school feel to it and Mr Murphy is grateful that the private owner of the church building allowed him to set up his gym there. “It’s unfortunate we have to leave but it’s just the way it is,” Mr Murphy said. However, Mr Murphy is determined

the demolition of the church building will not be a knock-out blow for the boxing gym, not least because his 13-yearold son Jackson is following in his father’s footsteps. The Mordialloc High School student won his first amateur fight this month and will fight for the Victorian Novice Title in November. He intends to move the gym to Braeside and is seeking sponsorship support to rearrange the gym, install a boxing ring and kit out the new premises with training equipment.

Pokies plan probed From Page 1 “As soon as we start looking at the applicant rather than the merits of the individual application we compromise our policies and processes,” Cr Eden said. Cr Eden said he had spoken to many people in the Chelsea area who had been affected by problem gambling. “A lot of people tell me they have lost their homes or had to remortgage the family home to pay their gambling debts,” he said. At a council meeting on Monday night, councillors voted to spend up to $20,000 to hire a solicitor to represent council’s position at the VCGLR hearing to consider the RSL’s application for additional pokies machines. Councillors Ron Brownlees, Tamsin Bearsley, Paul Peulich, Geoff Gledhill and John Ronke voted to spend the $20,000 and crs Eden, Tamara Barth and Rosemary West opposed the move, but only because they wanted to spend up to $80,000 opposing the extra pokies machines at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal if the VCGLR approved the application. Cr Steve Staikos abstained due to a self-declared conflict of interest. Cr Tamsin Bearsley said she believed the $80,000 would be better spent elsewhere within the Chelsea community. She had asked council officers whether any experts’ reports paid for by the $80,000 could be subsequently re-used as evidence in subsequent pokies application cases but was advised this would not be possible since the reports would be specific to the case at hand. “If the reports had been able to be

used for research purposes elsewhere I would have voted to spend the extra money,” Cr Bearsley said. Cr Bearsley also noted “very few” pokies applications had been “knocked back” by VCAT. “I’m sceptical of how much of a chance we’d have at an appeal,” Cr Bearsley said. VCGLR data states the City of Kingston’s 17 gaming venues had 956 pokies machines as of June last year. Kingston has 8.51 gaming machines per 1000 adults, higher than the 6.22 average across metro Melbourne and 6.45 ratio for Victoria as a whole. Kingston has the sixth highest number of electronic gaming machines out of 79 Victorian local government areas. Nearly $80 million was spent on gaming machines gambling in Kingston in the 2012-13 financial year. Cr Eden was disappointed councillors decided not to pursue an appeal at VCAT if required. “It is $80,000 that would be spent, but add a few zeroes and it’s $80 million per year that’s being lost in Kingston on pokies annually. I don’t want to continue adding to that total,” he said. Council officers have requested a meeting with the RSL to discuss further details missing from their application for additional pokies. The sub-branch is officially changing its name to Longbeach RSL (‘RSL longs for new name’, The News, 23/10/13). Mr Weissenfeld said the RSL is working through the application process and will respond to questions raised by council officers.

New blue on the beat THE thin blue line just got a little darker. Police and protective services officers in Kingston began wearing Victoria Police’s new dark blue uniform this month. The new attire was unveiled in December last year and is being rolled out to police forces across Victoria. The boys and girls in blue in Kingston are the latest to don the new colours. The new uniforms are ‘salute’ blue

FRANKSTON POWER CENTRE

and bear a striking resemblance to New York police colours. Feedback from officers and industry experts during a trial last year involving 150 police members was overwhelmingly positive about the change to a darker shade of blue. Police consulted Australian and overseas colleagues about fabric technology improvements and styles before settling on the new look.

Acting superintendent Mick Glowaski said police in the Kingston area welcomed a more streamlined look for Victoria Police. “It’s fresh, it’s new and it’s easily recognisable,” acting superintendent Glowaski said. “The new look also provides us with an opportunity to present ourselves as a professional and modern organisation.”

Police turn up heat on plate thefts

Lycra army helps conquer cancer By Chris Brennan MORE than 1200 cancer survivors and cycling enthusiasts poured through the streets of Kingston last weekend in Melbourne’s second annual Ride to Conquer Cancer. Organisers said 1,223 riders took part in the two-day ride, helping raise $4.3 million for the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. The 200-kilometre event began early Saturday morning when participants departed Albert Park en route to Hastings via Melourne’s bayside suburbs. Participants travelled along Beach Rd to Mordialloc where they turned onto Station St, continuing their journey through Chelsea and Carrum before heading inland at Seaford. Riders began arriving at Hastings in the early afternoon while the final riders hit camp at the Foreshore Reserve around 3pm, where hundreds of tents had been set up for overnight accommodation. Hot showers, food and entertainment were also provided for the riders, with an army of about 350 volunteers helping manage proceeding. While conditions at the foreshore camp were muddy following a week of rain in the lead-up to the event, there were no further downpours to dampen the enthusiasm of participants who enjoyed an evening of live music and, for the more energetic, dancing. Riders then set out from Hastings about 8am Sunday for the 100-kilometre return leg back to Albert Park, stopping for lunch at Bon Beach. Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre chief medical officer David Speakman, who took part in the ride, said

Charity riders: Team DD cyclists on a charity ride for Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre ride through Carrum on their way to Hastings. Picture: Gary Sissons

the ride had now raised a total of $10.5 million over two years to support lifesaving research into all forms of cancer. “Our thanks and gratitude to this incredible community of riders, sponsors, crew, volunteers and all those who generously donated to help make our second annual Ride to Conquer Cancer a remarkable success for cancer research at Peter Mac,” he said. “One in two Australian men and one in three Australian women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. “As Australia’s only public hospital

solely dedicated to cancer, we are using the funds raised to support our researchers and clinician-researchers in their efforts to increase our knowledge of cancer, and translate breakthrough discoveries into new and improved cancer treatments. “The work underway thanks to ridefunded dollars will help to improve survival rates and lead to a better quality of life for more people with cancer, both in Victoria and around the world.” Participant Rod Miller, who was riding in his second event at the weekend, was diagnosed with bowel cancer al-

most four years ago. “I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in January 2010. It has now spread to my liver and there are some lesions in my lungs which only motivates me more to complete this ride,” he said. “I know the toll a cancer diagnosis can have on a person and their loved one that’s why I am riding this weekend. It’s time that we help Peter Mac in their quest to find cures for this horrible disease.” Ride organisers said the third annual Ride to Conquer Cancer would be on 25-26 October 2014. Details www.conquercancer.org.au or 1300 00 RIDE.

POLICE have mounted a major campaign targeting number plate theft, with crime statistics revealing more than 10,000 plates were reported stolen in the past financial year. A three-month operation, dubbed SAFEPL8, was launched last week as a joint initiative between Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce, Victorian Automobile Club of Victoria, Crime Stoppers and Neighbourhood Watch. Assistant Commissioner Andrew Crisp said number plate theft was often a gateway to more serious crime. “Intelligence tells us that stolen plates are known to be used in burglaries, drug trafficking and petrol driveoffs,” he said. “It’s a preventable crime that takes officers off the street and away from their patrol duties. “We’re calling on the community to be vigilant when it comes to preventing number plate theft by fitting oneway screws and, where possible, parking off the street and in well-lit areas. He said any extra time required by a thief to remove number plates greatly reduced the risk of them being stolen. “By targeting number plate theft together, we can help make our homes, streets and communities safer.” Anyone with information about number plate theft is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. For information about buying and fitting one-way screws as well as other resources, visit www.police.vic.gov.au

Tammy Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long journey home By Terri Lee Fatouros SOME time ago, I had two so-called chance meetings with a dynamic woman named Tammy Anderson, with whom I have since become friends. We recently we got together over tea, and as we laughed and joked, Anderson shared her amazing life journey. Tasmanian born but now a Bayside resident, Anderson is a proud indigenous Palawa woman and highly successful writer and actor, as well as being a qualified hair and make-up artist, and a teacher. She is a graduate of Swinburne University Indigenous Performing Arts program and a 1997 scholarship graduate of the John Bolton Theatre School. She was assistant director for the Melbourne Theatre company stage production of The Sapphires, which starred her close friend, Deborah Mailman. You may recognise Anderson as the table tennis-playing mum in a recent AGL television commercial. Anderson has used her incredible life experience for numerous creative endeavours, developing workshops for Iibijerri Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Theatre Co-operative, Melbourne Workers Theatre and Play Box. She was recently invited to the Live Longer Healthy Community Day in Warrnambool, hosted by the Aboriginal Family Violence Prevention and Legal Service Victoria, as the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star performer. Anderson is a passionate and vibrant woman with a zealous attitude towards exposing domestic violence and sexual abuse, particularly against children, having suffered at the hands of her â&#x20AC;&#x153;battlingâ&#x20AC;? motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various boyfriends. Growing up in a home laced with domestic violence made her realise that people often have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. Her ground-breaking theatrical work, I Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Wanna Play House, is an autobiographical work covering the first 15 years of her life during which time she lived in 16 houses and three caravans and attended 12 different schools. Anderson uses no props or sets as she plays 16 characters, including herself at different ages and various members of her family. She literally takes her audience on an emotional roller-coaster ride, making them gasp in shock as she taps into her truth as a kid. She feels it is vitally important to share with people the importance of physical and emotional health and wellbeing, especially as this was not present during her childhood years. Anderson reveals that it was while playing with her own children that the repressive memories of her childhood came flooding back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was watching my children playing in the backyard one day, jumping on the trampoline, laughing and running around, and my daughter asked me to give her a whizzy,â&#x20AC;? she recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all came back to me, memories Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suppressed, secrets, secrets, secrets. I put pen to paper and started writing about these secrets and I wrote pages and pages and pages.â&#x20AC;? I Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Wanna Play House toured Australia and the world for many years and she performed at numerous international festivals, including the

she grows up, she answers: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, I just want to be a kidâ&#x20AC;?. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the grown up responsibilities pushed upon her. She loves her mum and dad but is sad her family life is a mess. Anderson wanted to voice her experiences with domestic violence and sexual abuse to a 10-yearold a age group and got the chance to read Sam for the first time while teaching as an artist in residence through an Arts Victoria funded program at her own childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state school earlier this year. For a term she taught the children drama, story- telling and local Indigenous history. The feedback was â&#x20AC;&#x153;sensationalâ&#x20AC;? and the kids embarked on a journey of empathy and understanding towards the character of Sam. They felt sorry for her and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the poverty she went through, and questioned how this made them feel. The message of the book children is that family and love are everything and that it is vitally important to feel you belong and are loved. Kids, and adults, do not have to put up with mental, physical or emotional abuse and violence anymore. The Waterhole is Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next work in waiting. It is a compilation of anecdotes collected while she was travelling performing her one woman show, I Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Wanna Play House, containing many of the larrikins she met along the way and the adventures she found herself in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone has a story about love to share while drinking at their local pub,â&#x20AC;? she laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have based my characters on the many people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met from all over the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the prostitute who dances on the pole, the sad mother who lost her child, the drunken larrikin plus so many more vivid rich characters I met while touring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m incorporating the plight of Aboriginal people and Australians, as I feel compelled to share their overwhelming stories too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has to be better than I Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Wanna Play House; it has to be a masterpiece. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a human being story and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it boxed as just an Aboriginal storyâ&#x20AC;?. For Anderson, culture, respect, community and finding a place of belonging, aspects that some people may take for granted, are vitally important. She said she sees her future as being present in the moment, living in joy and delight. With a new Bayside house having just been purchased, she is able to give her children the happy and loving life that she missed as a child. With empty tea cups resting in our laps and a long conversation having wound down, it was time for my lovely friend to leave. As she stood up, a wise smile spread across her beautiful face and she leaned over to me and whispered: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I walk away after each performance Terri; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not my life anymore. That canvas has been painted and now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m painting a new canvas.â&#x20AC;?

AROUND THE REGION Bottom turn: Wayne Lynch photographed by Aaron Chang during filming for Craig Griffin’s Uncharted Waters.

Surfer’s life in and out of water By Keith Platt HEROES and villains are standard fare for documentaries, and surfer Wayne Lynch comes out on the side of the angels in the latest production by director Craig Griffin. Griffin’s Uncharted Waters follows Lynch’s surfing life, one that has given him a status way above many surfers who have won world titles or ridden monster waves. Brought up on the west coast waves around his hometown Lorne, Lynch burst onto the scene and showed what it was possible to make a surfboard do when filmed for the 1969 surf movie Evolution. Still in his early teens, the movie showed Lynch surfing the then relatively unknown waves of Bali with a style and grace that flowed but was also seen as radical. He basically owned the backhand re-entry and cool approach to powerful waves breaking on shallow coral reefs. His filmic exploits also gave exposure to the exotic delights waiting for Australian surfers in Bali – now as familiar to them as Noosa or Narrabeen, despite differences in culture and language. Lynch’s public persona was enhanced by a reticence for publicity, a love–hate relationship with the surf industry, drugs, early interest in conserving the environment, going into hiding during the Vietnam War and, later, spending time with Aborigines in Arnhem Land. After a bout of malaria in the 1980s and being told he would never surf again, Lynch returned to competitive surfing to win the Coke and Surfabout contests. More than 40 years after that first surf movie by Paul Witzig, Lynch is once again being presented as an enigma on the large screen. Two years in the making, Uncharted Waters – “the personal history of Wayne Lynch” – had its Australian premier at this year’s Melbourne Film Festival in July and is coming to Sorrento

and Karingal in November. Kent Stannard, of Blairgowrie, who runs surf clothing brand White Tag, contributed toward the cost of the film as well as bringing together his friends, Lynch and director Griffen. Griffen directed a documentary about footballer Ben Cousins and was executive producer for the cult surf film First Love and, before that, Not Quite Hollywood. Stannard has enlisted Lynch’s help for his notfor-profit Tag For Life which, with the CSIRO and Melbourne Aquarium, investigates the life of white sharks. A large part of the research involves catching (Stannard calls it shark wrangling) and then tagging sharks with transmitters for satellite tracking. “Wayne is involved with me on the white shark project and has had a long fascination with them. “Despite a couple of close encounters with them in the water, he is extremely interested in conservation of the species, while readily admitting he is scared of them.” Part of Uncharted Waters was shot on a white shark research trip with a CSIRO scientist. “Wayne’s role is to help spread the word among the surfing community that these animals play a critical role in the wellbeing of the marine environment and deserve their conservation status as a protected species. The shark features as his totem,” Stannard said. He said other parts of Lynch’s life explored in Uncharted Waters included his family, nearly losing his daughter in a car accident, a heart attack “and a downward spiral dealing with the modern commercial world, how crowds on the coast have resulted in him surfing very little and how sailing has taken over from surfing as his real passion”. Uncharted Waters is being screened at Village Cinemas in Karingal on Wednesday 20 November and at the Sorrento cinema on Friday 22 November.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Local man charged with fare evasion, Frankston’s macabre discovery Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 1 November 1913. AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, held on Monday last, before Messrs P. Cohen, P.M, and C. Williams, J.P., a young man, named T. Parrett, was charged with having taken a seat in a train without a ticket. The stationmaster at Crib Point said that the defendant, when leaving the station on the 10th inst., gave him a weekend ticket which was out of date the day before. The defendant said that he had forgotten that his ticket was out of date, and when called back by the station master he had offered to pay excess. A fine of 15s with 12s 6d costs was imposed. *** CONSTABLE McCallum, of Frankston, received a report that the body of a child about a month old had been found on the beach about a mile from Frankston. He at once had the body conveyed to Frankston, where an examination showed what appeared to be the mark of a cord round the neck. The body appeared to have been in the water some time, and it is thought that the case was one of murder. *** WE learn that a huge bazaar is shortly to be held at Chelsea, in aid of the building fund of a Roman Catholic Church. Mr R. J. Burroughs is the secretary, and this alone should ensure success. Our readers are reminded of the great subdivisional sale of the Tyabb Park Estate, which will be held on Monday next, on the estate, adjoining the Tyabb railway

station. The sale will be conducted by Mr J. L. Parkes, of the firm of T. R. B. Morton and Son. *** A CLEARING sale of the stock, plant, furniture, &c., of the Barragunda Estate, near Cape Schanck, will be held on the estate on Thursday, 13th November, at 11 a.m., by Edward Trenchard and Co. Full particulars are advertised. *** IT is understood that the Federal Government has now definitely decided not to accede to the request of the Federal Fruit Commission, to authorise a delegation to go to London to pursue inquiries as to the marketing and selling of Australian fruit. *** BY advertisement in this issue it is notified that Edward Trenchard and Co. will sell by public auction, on the property near Cowes, Phillip Island, about 620 acres freehold land, also stock, plant, furniture, &c., on Friday, 14th November, under instructions from the executors of the late Mr P. Phelan. *** A BAZAAR and sale of gifts is advertised to take place at Langwarrin on Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons and evenings, 12th and 18th November. The opening ceremony will take place at 3 o’clock on the first named afternoon, by the Hon. A. Downward. The funds are to go towards the building of a new church. The Mornington Schools’ excursion to Royal Park takes place on Wednesday week, 12th November. The special train will leave Mornington at 8.10 a.m., stopping at Moorooduc,

Mornington Junction, Langwarrin, and Frankston, arriving at Royal Park at 10.33 a.m., and will leave for the return journey at 6.15 p.m.

The defendant said that he had forgotten that his ticket was out of date, and when called back by the station master, he had offered to pay excess.

*** AN important land sale was held at Bittern on Saturday last, when 235 allotments immediately adjoining the naval base were offered. Only 28 blocks were sold, the reserve ranging from £12 10s to £25, the lots being cut into quarter acres. The sales totalled £531 10s. The bulk of the land was withdrawn from sale. *** ON Friday evening of last week In

company with Mr Jolly, of Frankston, Messrs C. Hunin of Kyabram. G. and E. Phillips, of Tatura, Barton, of Tocumwal (N.S.W.,) and Vawdon, St. Kilda, visited Frankston last week end, and each purchased a building allotment locally. This makes a total of 42 building allotments bought at Frankston and re-sold by Mr Jolly in the North-Eastern and Goulburn Valley districts of Victoria during this year. All the above sales to Mr Jolly were made by Messrs Brody and Mason on account of various local property owners. *** THE summer train service to Frankston and Mordialloc is to be improved with the adoption of the summer time table. *** MR H. C. Barclay, of Mornington Junction, informs us that he has disposed of his pure bred Jersey bull, Young Shenton. *** THE engagement is announced of Mr Alexander Howatson, Glenbuck, Queensland, second son of Mrs and the late Mr. James Howatson, Mount Derrimut, Victoria, and Miss Annie S., only daughter of Mr and Mrs Jas Grice, Moondah, Frankston. *** THE Hastings Church of England bazaar, which is to be held in the church hall on Friday and Saturday, November 7 and 8, promises to be a great success. The energetic secretary and her committee have everything in working order, and an enjoyable time is promised patrons. *** LOVERS of high class music should

not miss the concert which will be given by some of Melbourne’s leading artists, including the famous elocutionist, Mr Payne, the Austral Quartette, and many others. The entertainment will be held in the Mornington Me- chanics’ Institute, and the proceeds it will go towards the Convent school prizes. The programme is exceptionally long, and a most enjoyable evening is assured. *** AMONG those who contributed to the programme at the complimentary social to Cr Lloyd at Langwarrin on Thursday evening was Mr Sullivan, son of Sergeant-Major Sullivan, so well and favorably known throughout the whole district. Mr Sullivan, who is an elocutionist of no mean order, received a great reception, and his items were listened to with rapt attention, Mr Sullivan is always ready to help in local affairs, and the assistance he gives at the various functions is of great benefit to all concerned. *** AT a meeting of St. McCartan’s Church committee, held at the Presbytery, Mornington, on Monday evening last, it was decided to hold a bazaar in the Mechanics’ Institute on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd January, 1914, for the purpose of reducing the debt on the church. The matter was taken up with great earnestness, and before the close of the meeting the energetic secretary (Mr Wheelan) had received £12 in donations. The various stall holders were also appointed, and there is every indication of the bazaar being a gigantic success.

Me versus ‘The Man’ part two By Stuart McCullough SAMUEL Beckett wrote Waiting for Godot and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In the unlikely event that I should ever write the story of Waiting for the Technical Staff to Respond to My Support Request, it’s unlikely that I’ll be asked to travel to Stockholm to pick up an award. Until now, everything had run so smoothly. I had given myself completely to the “Orange” corporation and I had enjoyed the ability to download music, movies and so forth without having to leave my couch. Suddenly, and for the first time, I realised the internet might actually serve some kind of purpose. That is, of course, until it all went so horribly wrong. Having eventually succeeded in finding a phone number for Orange, I waited on hold for what seemed to be an eternity only to be told that something was wrong. This, of course, was the very reason for my phone call and might neatly be described as “an overwhelming statement of the obvious”. As is so often now the way with global commerce, my phone call was relayed to another country solely for the purpose of something that I had figured out while sitting on the couch. Having flunked the call centre test, it seems my problem was of such gravity that it was forwarded to the awesome and not a little inspiring “Technical support team”. I didn’t know how the call centre would alert the TST to my problem. I’d like to think they have a special spotlight that they shine into the night sky, at which point they drop whatever it is they’re doing and go directly to the Bat-cave, but this seems unlikely. Let’s be honest, technical support staff don’t conceal their true identities and you don’t need a Bat-signal to get their attention. Most likely the sound of a Slurpee machine being switched on would do the trick. Whatever the technique for summoning them up, within 48 hours I received an email from a member of the elite technical support team. For the sake of anonymity, I have chosen to refer to my technical support adviser as “Dr Peter Venkman”. To be honest, I could have gone for any member of the original Ghostbusters crew and, at a push, maybe even the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, but there was an air of detached wryness about the emails I received from my support adviser that makes Dr Pete a suitable nom de plume. He began his email with a statement of such profound irony that it can only be applauded – “Welcome to Customer Support” it began. That this message was by email and delivered to my inbox at three o’clock in the morning means that traditional notions of customer support have been wholly abandoned. The days of someone turning up to your house are over. Emails in the dead of night are the new normal when it comes to servicing your customers.

Dr Venkman then got right to the heart of the problem: “I understand that you purchased video Confessions and after delivery you received a message saying that there is a payment problem, even though you have sufficient funds in that debit card.” Let me say right now that Confessions is, in fact, an episode from the last series of Breaking Bad and not something that should be preceded by the words: “Danielle Steele presents.” The email then continued with the grammatically mystifying statement, “I sense how eager concerned you are…”. You’re darn tootin’ right. I am eager concerned beside myself. The email went on to say, “Please contact the fraud or security department of your financial institution to find out why your card is being rejected”. This was something I’d already done several days earlier; a fact I made clear when I filled out the support request form on which Dr Venkman had based the rest of the email. The bank had told me there was no problem at its end and that the issue most likely rested between Orange and its bank. Under those circumstances, Dr Pete’s response was of no use at all and was more in the nature of an instruction as to one of the countless techniques that exist for sucking eggs. But rather than keep these thoughts to myself, I decided to write back. “Dear Dr Venkman. Thanks for your email. From this point on, though, perhaps we can refer to the purchase as Breaking Bad rather than Confessions, which, frankly, sounds misleadingly pornographic. I have spoken to the bank and it thinks the problem is at your end. The best thing to do would be to run the transaction again.” I’m the first to admit that the email was a desperate attempt to appeal to logic. It failed utterly. The response I received from Dr Venkman was to the effect that I should consider changing banks. As responses go, it was completely useless. When I pointed out that this was oddly back to front, all communication ceased. At first I was mystified, maybe even a little hurt. But that’s just the way it goes with customer service. It has sometimes been said that particular companies are “too big to fail”. It seems that some may also be too big to respond. Orange is such a hugely, obesely successful company that it seems unable to comprehend any problem that might be of its own making. I later received an email containing the preposterous claim that it would “value” my feedback and asking me to fill in a questionnaire. Having provided it, there has been nothing but eerie silence since. After a time, my account mysteriously started to work again and I managed to see the final episodes of Breaking Bad. They were graphic, harrowing and emotionally exhausting. A lot like customer service. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Building on art space ARCHITECTURE and art are on display at Kingston Arts Centre in Moorabbin. Artist Toni Walker’s Refuge exhibition explores the relationship between buildings and landscapes. The Sandringham resident previously worked as a commercial graphic artist and began painting in the early 1990s as a hobby. She now has her own studio at home. “I’ve always had an interest in architecture and the way we inhabit physical spaces. I’m particularly interested in how a landscape can flow through a home,” Ms Walker said.

Her paintings are mostly oil on canvas and she cited Canadian architect Todd Saunders as an inspiration for much of her art. Mr Saunders built six artist’s studios on the solitary Fogo Island in Canada as a haven where artists can be inspired by the natural surroundings visible from open plan, spacious buildings. “The point of those studios is to nurture creativity and I would love to visit,” Ms Walker said.  The Refuge exhibition is at the G1 Artspace at 979 Nepean Hwy, Moorabbin until Tuesday 12 November. Admission is free. Visit www.kingstonarts.com.au for gallery opening times.

Performance SPRINGSTEEN & I (Shock), the music documentary celebrating a rock ‘n’ roll icon, will be released November 1. The film has already enjoyed a highly successful theatrical release, grossing more than $2.5 million from cinemas in 50 countries since July. Working with the filmmakers, Springsteen fans have helped create a film that reflects their personal experiences as they explore what this timeless artist has meant to their lives, against a backdrop of amazing performance footage. The documentary features rare material even die-hard fans have not laid eyes on, including previously unreleased footage of Springsteen performing classics such as Dancing in the Dark, Born in the USA, I’m On Fire, Born to Run, The River, Thunder Road and Spirits in the Night. A bonus feature includes six tracks from Bruce Springsteen’s 2012 Hyde Park performance: Thunder Road, Because the Night, Shackled & Drawn and We Are Alive, Twist and Shout and I Saw Her Standing There accompanied by Paul McCartney sharing vocals. Available Blue Ray & DVD. www.shock.com.au *** AUSTRALIA’S largest music festival, the Tamworth Country Music Festival, will feature one of the biggest line-up’s in the festival’s history next year, with a full program of artists confirmed to perform at venues across the city over 10 days. Festival organisers are anticipating record crowds for the 2014 event. Fans can expect to be entertained day and night, with more than 800 performers and 4,000 shows at 120 different venues. Two of the superstars of Australian country music, Adam Harvey and Troy Cassar-Daley, will officially kick off the festival, headlining the opening concert in Toyota Park on Friday 17 January. The festival will also feature the Lifeline Concert at the Tamworth

Town Hall on Saturday January 18, commencing at 7.30pm, with artists including Allan Caswell, Paul Costa, Chad Morgan, Lou Bradley, Luke O’Shea and Warren H Williams set to perform among many others, including yours truly who will MC the event. In 2014, the festival will pay tribute to Australian icon and country

music legend Slim Dusty through a number of special activities. Festival manager Gavin Flanagan said: “We’re expecting 2014 to be bigger and better than ever. The festival will run from Friday 17 January to Sunday 26 January.” For more information, visit www. tcmf.com.au ***

FORTY years into a long and successful career, Allan Caswell (pictured) is having one of his best years ever. At the 2013 Australian Independent Country Music Awards in Mildura, he picked up the award for album of the year (It’s a Country Song). The title track also won him the awards for male vocal of the year and single of the year. His early years were spent writing and performing jingles before he wrote On the Inside, the theme to the TV series Prisoner. The song was recorded by Lynne Hamilton and became a top 10 hit. The song was also recorded by Patti Page for the US market. Caswell found himself on the charts again in 1983 with his song about the 1983 America’s Cup Challenge, called The Australia’s Cup. Caswell will perform at Hickinbotham’s Winery, Dromana, Sunday 15 December. Details: www.allancaswell.com *** SINGER Pink will release her live DVD filmed in Melbourne on November 22. The Truth About Love: Live from Melbourne was filmed at Rod Laver Arena in July. It will be released two weeks before it appears on the shelves in the USA. Pink played a record-breaking 18 shows at Rod Laver Arena to more than 250,000 fans. *** BLACK Sabbath will release a live album and DVD recorded at their recent concerts in Melbourne. The reunion tour, which began in Australia, will be featured on the DVD Gathered in Their Masses, out November 26 (Vertigo). The album was recorded April 29 and May 1 in Melbourne, and features three of the original Sabbath members, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony lommi and Geezer Butler. Tommy Clufetos (Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent) toured on drums. *** IN 1994, The Beatles’ Live at the BBC was released to worldwide acclaim - hitting number one in the UK and number three in the US, and selling

two weeks ago. Had I been Louie (the fly) on a wall, I could have amassed enough material for 50 columns. Still, like all conferences, the real action begins at night, so I’m told. *** WE played many games as kids other than cricket and football in the street. No iPhones, no cars, no television. Relievo, a night game where two participants were elected, one to mind base, the other to locate the others, who disappear; count to 10 while they all scoot and hide. A pat on the back and you’re caught. Go to base, jail. If somebody sneaked back to base, put their foot in before being patted on the back and shouted “relievo!” those in base were free. Took half the night generally, especially if I was one of the suckers looking or guarding the base. Hidey, another form of relievo; again I could never find anyone. Doctors & nurses, if the older kids had their say and no parents were about. I enjoyed being the patient, particularly if the doctor was a female. My first testosterone hit? Damn, I forgot to tell the psychologist *** I HAVE often written about my input to the defence of our country by way of my five slogging months as a Nasho in the Navy in 1955, mainly from a satirical point of view, assuming

readers can understand my warped satire (I’m regularly advised they have no idea). So as a codicil, I should explain that I really appreciated those five months, as a basis for the many advantages to follow. It took time, about another 20 years, but eventually it made a man of me - most of the time anyway. Mateship may sound corny, but it was real and a lasting fond memory; a learning experience, in spite of class distinctions and gestapo officers. *** IF you don’t smoke, gamble, drink alcohol or watch porn movies, you indulge yourself as an upstanding person, correct? I worked part time as a supervisor for the TAB and other totalisator companies for 37 years at race tracks all over Victoria, met thousands of gamblers, gaining some insight into the gamblers’ psyche. A small percentage lose more than they can afford and in trying to recoup their losses, only succeed in worsening their situation, in rare cases destroying a marriage, or themselves. Some smoke 50 cigarettes a day, destroy their lungs; some drink too much liquor, destroy their livers; and some are sex maniacs with no apparent after effects. But on this subject of gambling, they (the upstanding) go way overboard. For every sad gambler, there’s another

100 who bet within their means as entertainment, be it on horses, football, bingo or the lotteries. Men and women, young and old, pensioners, the rich and workers alike. Some spend $250 to see Bruce Springsteen, others $20 a week for the pleasure of it all and an occasional win. It’s not evil. Hey, come the Spring Carnival and gambling is OK, fun, sport? *** I’M intrigued by former Xavier College boy Bill Shorten’s support as the new Labor leader. Says Billy boy: “We are on track to have more women lined up in positions of influence and importance.” What does he mean, and why? I didn’t blame him for backing Rudd recently, but clearly he was right up there with Julia in stabbing Rudd initially and as a party to cutting single mothers pensions. They play these ridiculous games: right and left factions, caucus power, or more importantly, who cares? Bill is right, Tanya is left, and everything is waxed. They say he’s done some good work for his union members and the National Disability Insurance Scheme but for us, he sprung up like topsy and unless it’s my memory, he’s done little else apart from looking nice and playing the popularity card. True, Tony got elected by doing nothing but he had help from News

A Grain of Salt I WORRY about psychologists. Years ago as a teenager (was I ever one?) I fancied studying it at university; bought a book titled Psychology and Mental Health, read it a few times, but the thought of another year (year 12) to qualify to do an arts degree put me off in favour of love and adventure. Bad decision; could have been rich. A study of individuals’ minds in order to understand behavioural patterns, as distinct from psychiatry, which is fundamentally concerned with mental disorder, requiring a medical degree. Something like that. What intrigues old codgers like me are the competing levels of explanation when it comes to understanding behaviour. I went to one years ago. Had a bad habit and he fixed me up, temporarily? Another was catching frogs, take them up on the Merri Creek bridge, tickle their bums until they jumped off; no frog damage done. Stopped my psychopathic tendencies. Psychologists have far too much influence over our daily lives. Well, more infiltration than influence, I suppose. New research weekly based on some vague premise, behavioural nonsense much of it. No doubt, there are some good ones, but I’m yet to meet one. They had a big convention in Cairns

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 30 October 2013

By Cliff Ellen Limited. As for Bill’s “vision”, like Collingwood, I remain hopeful. His election over Anthony Albanese was touted as democratic. Strange democracy. A convoluted congregation deciding what looks right. Bill wants Labor to be “brave” in speaking up for the marginalised and struggling. Good. We watch and wait. *** FORMER plain packaging health minister, attorney-general and longtime professional do-gooder Nicola Roxon calls Kevvy a “bastard”. Such a darling lady is sweet Nicola. Cigarette dear?... Apparently the “silent majority” is behind Derryn Hinch; kindly do not include me... Elvis and Johnny Cash copy bands are far from the original. Ditto Bill Shorten and Bob Hawke... Andrew Demetriou offered a place on the board of Crown Casino. Says Andy: “ I would like to be a contributor.” What? He’s doing it gratis?.. When I was a boy, I was told that anybody could become president. I’m beginning to believe it. [Clarence Darrow]... hooroo... www.ello8.com

A gem shines through

Life in the spotlight JOANNE Trentini is a Melbourne-based actress who grew up in rural New South Wales and knows that drama-based programs are hard to come by. So she approached the charity Youth Express and, together Longbeach Place, designed a drama program that gives young adults the opportunity to explore what life is like behind the scenes of the theatre and television industry in Melbourne. My Life in the Spotlight is a 10-week workshop for young adults run at Chelsea’s Longbeach Place Community Centre. It touches on a wide range of subjects, from acting and directing to camera work and professional hair and make-up. Along with drama games and scene work, the course also features many special guest speakers, including Melissa Bergland from Winners and Losers and Kat Stewart from Offspring, as well as local actor Tim Potter, who wrote and starred in the winning film at Tropfest 2012. Joanne wanted to give young adults the opportunity to engage with the local industry and to demystify what it is like working in the arts.

“We discuss what it’s like to be a working actor, the long hours and the hard work, but we also talk about the extraordinary rewards that all of that hard work can bring,” she explained. When asked why she chose Chelsea as the base for her workshops, Joanne said: “I know what it’s like to grow up in an area where it’s difficult to access industry leaders in the arts and it makes pursuing a career in the arts really difficult. So I thought to myself, why not bring the industry leaders to the community? “Also, Youth Express and Longbeach Place Community Centre have been so wonderfully supportive. They have provided a really safe and welcoming place for these workshops to happen and their passion and commitment to providing good quality community programmes have helped ‘My Life in the Spotlight’ become the success that it is.” My Life in the Spotlight will be running again in 2014, Contact Longbeach Place Community Centre on (03) 9776 1386 for further details.

FOR a number of years the Patterson River Golf Club was a hidden gem for golfers, but in recent times an increasing number of golfers have discovered this great sandbelt golf course and its friendly club atmosphere. Now under its progressive management and committee, the club has renovated the function rooms to greatly expand the number of guests it can accommodate for weddings, functions, special celebrations and corporate events. With its delightful golf course views, large off street car park and tranquil setting, a function for about 250 seated guests or about 400 guests for a cocktail party can be accomodated. The main function room can be divided with a concertina wall to allow two independent and simultaneous functions each of about 125 seated guests. For small functions the new club board room is the ideal location for a private celebration, small dinner party or corporate meeting or seminar. The club is proud of its award-winning catering staff, with head chef John Broadley

being a winner of the Clubs Victoria’s Chef’s Table Award. This prestigious event is held annually to promote the culinary excellence and innovation of chefs working in registered clubs throughout Victoria. Club general manager Pam Carpenter said that with the new larger function room facilities, the club was able to cater for much larger functions than most other functions than most other function facilities in the southern bayside area. ”We have a team of dedicated staff looking forward to extending friendly, professional service with an emphasis on flexibility to meet all individual needs to create the perfect celebration, whether it be a wedding, special anniversary, or corporate function. “Menus are created and prepared with gourmet produce and presented with a touch of class to enhance the occasion”. As a special offer to readers, bookings will receive a 50% discount for room hire for bookings made prior to 31st December, 2013.

Doggies’ run machines hit tons PROVINCIAL By IT Gully MORNINGTON batting machines Ben Clements and Anthony Gapes were at their very best again on Saturday in Provincial cricket against Mt Eliza. Gapes hit 102 and Clements made an unbeaten 129 as the Doggies amassed 4/273 against the Mounties. Clements has smashed 242 runs in three matches this season at an average of 80, while Gapes hit two half-centuries in the opening two matches of the season and has more than 200 runs for the season. It was a tough day for Mt Eliza bowlers. Tom

Baron was the pick of the attack, bowling 37 overs for a return of 2/96. Evergreen Langwarrin left-hander and former Wedgewood medallist Danny Weare saved his side from an embarrassing afternoon against Rye. Weare came to the crease with the score at 3/59 and watched on as Andy Johnson and Jarryd Amalfi were dismissed for ducks. The Kangas were reeling at 5/64. However, Weare, together with teenager Michael Edwards, took the score to 193 before he was dismissed for 102. Edwards went on to make 95, David Ross hit 49 and the tail wagged to lift the Kangas to 307. Darren Groves bowled just 13 overs but

finished with the tidy figures of 4/27. Simon McEvoy smashed 156 in the Second XI (his second ton this season) and former Seaford opening bowler Andy McMannis made his debut for the Kangas and snared 6/15. Baxter is looking at an easy victory against Moorooduc. The visitors got going with the bat, Dale Irving top-scoring with 80, Shane McComb getting 55 and Marc Uccello 33. They were bowled out for 287 in the 67th over. The Ducs had to face the last 13 overs of the day and things didn’t go according to plan when the team lost 3/29. Adrian Mack claimed all three wickets in six overs, conceding just four runs.

The match between Heatherhill and Mt Martha looks evenly poised, the Hills batting first and making 175. Kristian Miller was the class player with the bat, top-scoring with 75. Tim Bateman and Brett Wilkinson each claimed four wickets for the Reds. Sorrento’s Nick Jewell top-scored in his side’s 9/253 against Peninsula Old Boys in the grand final rematch. Leigh Poholke scored 36. Neil Franks was the best of the Old Boys’ bowlers with 5/70, while Dylan O’Malley picked up 3/65. In the final match of the round, Crib Point has set Long Island 206 for victory.

Eagles continue to fly high as opener makes 101 DISTRICT By IT Gully SOMERVILLE continues to enjoy a wonderful start to the District cricket season, scoring 6/276 against Ballam Park on Saturday. Nicholas Marshall opened the batting for the Eagles and was still there at the end of the innings, making an unbeaten 101. Justin Allsop also continued his impressive start to the season with 72 while Keith Burdett (23), Ben Delaney (34) and Andrew West (29) got starts. The Knights shared the wickets around, six different bowlers claiming a scalp. Pines appears to be in a spot of bother against Baden Powell. The Piners won the toss and batted first, but lasted just 69 overs and were bowled out for 153. Ricky Ramsdale top-scored with just 24, while Jeremy Weare was next best with 22. Brendan Jovic was the best of the Baden Powell bowlers with 3/37, Nathan Rice claimed 2/33 and Mac Watson 2/14. Shaun Foster was simply superb for Carrum against Seaford Tigers, but fell 14 runs short of another century. Foster hit 86 of his side’s 8/186, while Jeremy Graves helped himself to 34. Jordan Watters was the best of the Seaford Tigers bowlers, picking up 2/14, while Gavin Gardiner-Smith, Tom Burgdorf and Ash Mills claimed two wickets each. Boneo has not enjoyed a good start to the season and things got worse against Delacombe Park on Saturday. Boneo batted first and was all out for just 115. Varun Singh continued his impressive start to the season with 3/38 off 18 overs for the Parkers, while Chris Brittain and Simon Dignan took two wickets each. In reply, the Parkers are cruising at 1/52, Jon Guthrie not out on 25. Andrew Christides is the man back in the sheds after making 16. Hastings has placed itself in a reasonable position against Seaford. The Blues batted first on their home deck and made 188, thanks largely to a half-century by First XI debutant Matt Foy. After scoring two half-centuries and two 40s in the Second XI and juniors this season, Foy earned his call-up and didn’t look at all out of place in the top grade. Tim Birch opened the batting and scored 31, while Ben King was among the runs again with 25. Damian Lawrence played a lone hand with the ball for Seaford, bowling 26.4 overs for a return of eight maidens and 7/52. Ryan McQueen picked up 2/32. In the final match between Main Ridge and Flinders, the teams will play a one-day game this weekend after bad conditions prevented play at the Ridge.

Subbies cricket a worry as bats crash SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association Sub-district cricket is becoming the laughing stock of the competition after another day of embarrassing performances with the bat. In all of the four matches that got going on Saturday, all eight teams have had a bat. The highest score for the day was 141, compiled by Tyabb against Rosebud. Balnarring was bowled out by Dromana for less than 100, Red Hill scrambled to just over 100 against Tootgarook, and Pearcedale limped to 96 against Frankston YCW.

Now, with those pathetic totals, you would assume the opposition was in the box seat to win the match. Not so! Dromana slumped to 7/64 against Balnarring (98) and Tootgarook is reeling at 5/26 against the Hillmen (110). The only side to capitalise on a good bowling performance was Rosebud against the Yabbies, resuming this week at 1/69. Frankston YCW has also started reasonably well against the Panthers, resuming at 1/19. The match between Skye and Carrum Downs was rain affected and they’ll play a one-dayer this weekend.

Blues land big fish

Rosebud Country Club & Rosebud Park Golf Course

HASTINGS has landed the biggest recruit of the pre-season so far after announcing that Cranbourne star Justin Berry had signed. The Blues announced the big signing late last week and word has it there will be a few more to come for the Blues. Berry (pictured) is a star midfielder and forward and has been a key member of the powerful Cranbourne side in the past handful of seasons. Berry also spent time on Carlton’s list and was a key member of the Frankston Dolphins for some time. Berry joins Stephen Charalambous, who has also signed with the Blues, crossing from Karingal. Berry is expected to play predominantly as a forward, while “Charra” will play through the middle. New coach Brendan Dunne will hold down a key defensive post. The Blues need to replace the likes of Daniel Wishart, Glenn Michie, Tony Mirrabella, Dylan Hand and Andy Kiely, who have all left the club.

Hillmen add another

Eagles land another

WE announced a number of weeks ago that Red Hill was close to signing a VFL player. Well, now former Port Melbourne premiership player Michael Dillon has signed with the club. The tough midfielder is a huge coup for the Hillmen, who have also added two-time YCW premiership player Paul Wintle to the list in the past week. He joins other recruits Jarrod Eames, Nick Bateman and Blake McCormack. Coach Tony Blackford said a key forwardruckman to support young gun Jarryd Douglas was “probably the final piece in the puzzle” for his new club. Blackford said he had spoken to “almost 60 possible recruits” since being appointed.

SOMERVILLE has added Karingal defender Kane McKenzie to its list, joining former teammates Cal Dixon and new Eagles coach David Hirst. The Eagles have also spoken with Bulls running defender Sam McGarry.

Yabbies working hard WE received an email from Tyabb president Terry McGrath last week claiming his club had recruited a few players. However, when pressed on providing names, the Yabbies chief was silent.

Kangas working the phones

NEW Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico has been busy working the phones since he landed the job. The two-time premiership coach is hopeful of adding a number of players to his list to “complement” the exciting young list at his disposal. “We are targeting locals who have moved on to rejoin the club, while looking at players who we believe can fill roles for us,” Artico said. If he lands some of the names he has met, the Kangas will be a force next season. Luke Damon and Shane Urbans are the only two players not to have recommitted to the Kangas for 2014. Shane Patterson returns from Queensland while Jayden Grose will be back for the preseason. Two class midfielders.
