Way ahead

LABOR candidate for Mordialloc Tim Richardson, left, will be the electorate’s next state member of parliament after defeating Liberal MP Lorraine Wreford at Saturday’s state election. Mr Richardson, 26, will join several new first-term MPs as part of premier-elect Daniel Andrews’, right, incoming Labor government. The Victorian Electoral Commission is recounting votes in the Frankston line seats of Carrum, Frankston and Bentleigh with Labor looking likely to win all three to add to their Mordialloc gain.

Labor victory swing Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LABOR has won government after voters turfed out the Napthine Coalition government at Saturday’s state election. A swing of about 2.5 per cent across Victoria was more than enough to ensure Labor leader Daniel Andrews will be the state’s next premier.

Dr Denis Napthine, who succeeded Ted Baillieu as premier in 2013 without facing the state’s voters, expressed “thanks to all Victorians for the great honour and privilege of being the 47th Premier” via a message on social media site Twitter on Sunday. Many political analysts put the Coalition government’s defeat down to “inaction” during Baillieu’s time as premier after he won government

in 2010 but that would provide little comfort to Dr Napthine who became head of the first state government in Victoria’s history to be ousted by voters after just one term. Labor’s victory is a remarkable turnaround for the party and few tipped former Bracks and Brumby governments’ minister Daniel Andrews to lead Labor back to power so quickly after the party’s 2010 loss

after 11 years in government. While Labor was swept to power at a state level on Saturday, the outcome remained less clear cut in Carrum and Frankston early this week although the Mordialloc contest looks done and dusted. Labor candidate for Mordialloc Tim Richardson defeated Liberal MP Lorraine Wreford with an approximate 4.5 per cent swing to Labor with

most votes counted by the Victorian Electoral Commission. Labor candidate Sonya Kilkenny looks likely to succeed Liberal MP Donna Bauer as Carrum’s member of parliament in a tight contest with a recount by the VEC underway as The News went to print. However, the Frankston result remains poised on a knife edge. Continued Page 6

Pupils rise to the energy challenge

Crime taskforce to break patterns

BONBEACH Primary School’s grade 5 and 6 pupils did “extremely well” in the pushcart section of the RACV Energy Breakthrough at rural Maryborough last month. They raced against 60 schools from all around Victoria in the challenge in which teachers, pupils and parents work together to design and build a vehicle, machine or innovation in technology that will represent an ‘energy breakthrough’. “They ranked highly and blitzed their opponents with the fastest time in the endurance event, came fourth in the obstacle course and won their heat in the sprints – before being let down with a flat tyre,” principal Ken Jones said. With help from parents and grandparents, the 10 children helped design their billycart, learned mechanical skills, took part in special training sessions and bonded as a team. The five boys and five girls won the Display and Presentation section but are a little disappointed at being penalised 40 seconds – costing them first place – in the prestigious Race section. “We are officially protesting and awaiting the judges’ decision,” Mr Jones said. “If our protest is upheld we will have also won the race section and the whole event.” An over-zealous judge’s decision - to penalise the team for using a pillow to raise the sitting position of one of the shorter drivers - is behind all the fuss. Mr Jones said the pillow had been seen by other judges during the billycart’s scrutinising and dismantling stage and was therefore deemed ‘legal’. “We are waiting to hear back from them,” Mr Jones said. “Who knows how it [the protest] will go?” This is the Bonbeach Primary’s second crack at the endurance event: last year they came fourth overall. The RACV Energy Breakthrough has been running in Maryborough for about 23 years – and attracting crowds of 10,000 who cheer on their teams. Schools from all over Australia compete. The event was recently nominated for the state tourism awards. Ride of their lives: Taylah, in the billycart, is pushed by, from left, Ami, with Carter, Flynn, Taj, Billy, Corey, Stephen Taylor Teagan, Meg and Malak. Picture: Gary Sissons

KINGSTON police have joined a taskforce dedicated to breaking patterns of violence and crime. It will begin work in the New Year. Taskforce Alexis brings together police, mental health and family violence experts into one unit operating out of Moorabbin police station. Southern Metro Division 2s Superintendent Ross Guenther said the taskforce would focus on engagement and extensive family support. It will aim to reduce crime through “pro-active policing and holding offenders to account”. Victims and perpetrators will be the primary focus of the taskforce, with the taskforce attempting to break cycles of repeat victimisation through support in mental health and family violence. Twenty-three staff will be dedicated to the taskforce, including a senior family violence practitioner and a mental health technician with strong links to partner agencies. In the past year only 3 per cent of men were accessing referral services focused on changing patterns of violence in the home. “Until now police have not had the capacity or mixture of expertise to pursue family violence and mental health incidents to ensure both victims and offenders were accessing appropriate referral services,” Superintendent Guenther said. “I believe the only way to prevent re-victimisation is to stop perpetrators in their tracks and to change their behaviour, which is a key focus of Taskforce Alexis.” Stephen Taylor

Crime down, thefts from cars up Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au CRIME overall is reducing in the City of Kingston, with the rate down 2.3 per cent 2013-2014. Acting Inspector Janene Denton said that, over the past 12 months, the number of robberies had fallen 23.3 per cent, assaults (excluding family violence assaults) 3.7 per cent and property damage 13.7 per cent. But she said residential burglaries and theft from motor cars were “of particular concern”. “We have seen an increase in these two crime categories throughout the municipality with residential burglaries up 10.2 per cent and theft from cars up 17.1 per cent.”

Most of the thefts from motor cars occur in residential streets and driveways with thieves targeting unlocked vehicles. “They typically walk the streets checking door handles of cars and then break into those have been left unlocked,” she said. “It’s a timely reminder to everyone to ensure all valuables are removed or kept out of sight in vehicles and to never leave your car unlocked, even when parked in the driveway.” Residential burglaries mostly occur in the day time. Those seeing any suspicious behaviour or a suspicious person loitering in their area should call triple zero (000) immediately. Drug offences are up 22.4 per cent, which Acting Inspector Denton says is a direct result of intensive police focus on disrupting drug activity by detecting

those using and selling drugs. “Although we’ve seen a slight reduction (.4 per cent) in injury collisions within Kingston the numbers are still far too high,” she said. “Between October 2013 and September 2014, a total of 484 injury collisions were reported. Speed and distractions, such as using mobile phones while driving, contributed to many of these.” PSOs have been deployed on the Kingston train network in the evenings. Acting Inspector Denton said this aimed to provide a greater level of comfort and safety to those using trains at night. “Kingston continues to stand out as a wonderful place to live and work,” she said. “The sense of community among us all is very strong and together we can

keep safety our number one priority.” Figures covering all of Southern Metro Region – which includes Kingston – show there was a 4 per cent rise in the number of offences during 2013-14 to 98,650 offences. Crime Against the Person offences fell by 1.3 per cent to 13,367 offences, Crime Against Property offences rose by 1.2 per cent and drug offences rose 9.2 per cent. The largest increases were in justice procedures (up 26.2 per cent), handle stolen goods (up 31 per cent), and theft from motor vehicle (up 12.4 per cent). Categories to experience large percentage falls included theft (other) down 9.2 per cent), sex (non-rape) down 1.3 per cent, and burglary (residential) down 3.8 per cent.

No need to be lonely this Xmas THOSE living alone will enjoy a Christmas lunch on Monday 15 December thanks to the Rotary Club of Mordialloc. “Christmas can be a miserable time for many people who do not have friends and relations to share it with, so we are again hosting a friendly get together for them at no cost,” Rotarian Len Dawson said. “After all, charity begins at home.” The lunch will be held at noon at the Mordialloc Sporting Club at 528 Main St – which is a part sponsor with music and lunch provided. Staff from Ray White real estate Cheltenham will lend a hand. Details: Mr Dawson 0438 892 499.

Bag it up: Andie Carlon, left, and Trish Magree will clean up Aspendale beach. Picture: Gary Sissons

Beach clean team assembles RESIDENTS Andie Carlon and Trish Magree are behind Aspendale beach’s first volunteer monthly Beach Patrol clean up on Sunday. Volunteers will meet at the Gnotuk Ave car park at 10:30am and begin picking up litter, including cigarette butts and nurdles, and collecting data on litter collected. They should bring a hat, gloves and tongs. The women are advocates for a clean, safe and healthy beach that encourages community use and protects the local ecosystems and wildlife. Ms Caron comes from a marketing background and Ms Magree is an environmental educator. They think it is vital to be proactive in looking after the beach. The women said this first clean up aimed to attract support from local families. Beach Patrol is a network of volunteer community groups across Melbourne dedicated to keep-

ing their beaches clean. Each group is defined by suburb, post code and t-shirt colour. “Starting in 2009 with 3206 Beach Patrol - Middle Park, it became evident that many residents cared greatly about the condition of their local beaches,” Ms Magree said. “They were willing to donate an hour of their time each month to help the marine life and keep the beaches cleaner and safer. “The groups meet at an arranged point with gloves, hat and sunscreen and spend an hour cleaning up. They often finish with a coffee and a chat. The idea has proved to be a great community building event. “Since 2009 many beach patrols have been started along the bay and now there is one at Aspendale.” Visit the beach patrol at beachpatrol.com.au or facebook.com/AspendaleBeachPatrol Details: Trish Magree 0414 851 996.

NEWS DESK P-plater’s 167 point spree

So close: Labor candidate Sonya Kilkenny is poised to be Carrum’s next state member of parliament. Picture: Gary Sissons

Labor swing to election victory Continued from Page 1 Political experts such as the ABC numbers cruncher Antony Green called the seat of Frankston a Labor gain for candidate Paul Edbrooke on Saturday evening only to see the contest tighten to give Liberal candidate Sean Armistead a chance of victory. Candidates remained tight-lipped as the final votes and recounts were being tallied in Carrum and Frankston although Labor insiders were still confident of victory in Carrum and believed Frankston would also ultimately fall their way. The ‘sandbelt’ Frankston line seats

of Frankston, Carrum, Mordialloc and Bentleigh did not determine on their own which party formed government this time around. The Coalition won government on the back of those seats being won by Liberal candidates in 2010. However, voters will watch intently to ensure the incoming Labor state government keeps its pre-election pledges for the electorates. In Bentleigh, Nick Staikos is likely to claim victory for Labor at the expense of Liberal MP Elizabeth Miller. Labor’s statewide election win puts the East West Link road project in

doubt with premier-elect Daniel Andrews signalling his intention to stop the $500 million construction from going ahead. Labor said the infrastructure funds would be better spent elsewhere on public transport upgrades including Frankston line improvements. The outgoing Coalition government said Labor put Victoria’s business reputation at risk by “ripping up” contracts. The East West Link project contract was signed just weeks before the election despite Labor’s public opposition to the plan.

Lay-by now for Christmas

KINGSTON police were staggered when they intercepted a Waterways woman for speeding – and then found the unlicensed P-plater had already racked up 167 demerit points. The 25 year old was nabbed doing 109km/h in an 80km zone along Springvale Rd at about 11.30am on 25 November. Her car was impounded immediately and she was charged with speeding, driving unlicensed and stating a false name. Senior Constable Chris Georgiou, of Moorabbin Highway Patrol, said even though the woman’s licence had expired, she kept incurring points. He estimated she would receive a 42 month driving ban based on three months for every 12 points lost. “Any car she is caught driving will be impounded,” he said. “This won’t go away.”

Youth directory YOUNG people at risk of self-harm can be helped by a smart-phone friendly, web-based youth directory that provides quick and easy access to service agency information. The directory has been developed by Bayside Medicare Local and 15 partners in their youth mental health suicide prevention project. It will cover the cities of Kingston, Port Philip, Bayside, Glen Eira and Stonnington. The directory is down-loadable onto a phone, tablet or iPad. Its audiences include young people, parents and carers, and service providers. An emergency tab provides immediate assistance while other tabs can be pressed according to urgency level, such

as emergency, urgent help, direct help, some help and just looking. Information is then sorted within service categories, such as housing and homelessness, financial advice, legal advice, counselling and domestic violence. The directory is due for release in February.

Brave actions MOVES are afoot to “suitably recognise” the bravery of passers-by who attempted to rescue passengers trapped in two cars after a horrific smash on the Mornington Peninsula freeway. Charges have been laid against a 48-year-old Tooradin man over the incident around 1pm on Monday 17 November. Major Collision Investigation police assisted local police on the night and were reportedly “devastated at the carnage”. While the actions of the driver on the night are now subject to a court hearing, grateful police recognise the many people that stopped to assist. Sergeant Barry Judge said police first on the scene faced a “confronting and terrifying scene” with one car on fire and two people trapped. “Assisted by an off-duty CFA volunteer and members of the public, dire attempts were made to put the blaze out,” he said. “Both the police and these members of the public showed incredible courage in approaching the area and doing everything possible to help the trapped people. They risked their own lives for that of strangers - and this is a rare and incredibly humane effort.” Police encourage anyone affected by the collision to seek professional counselling. They are also appealing to witnesses who may have seen either the blue Ford sedan or the black Holden ute in the period leading up to the collision. Witnesses can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Police patrol Motor ‘mooners’ TWO men were challenged while attempting to remove the motor of an automatic electric steel security gate outside a new townhouse development in Marine Drive, Patterson Lakes, at 6.30am on 27 November. Chelsea police said a witness heard noises and challenged the men who continued to remove the motor and housing by shearing off the bolts. When they saw they were being photographed the men ‘mooned’ the camera and got into a silver Holden ute. They then reversed back to the scene and poured a blue liquid over the motor mount area, possibly to destroy fingerprints. The ute is a Malloo or SS Commodore with a rear hard top cover and large alloy wheels. The registration number XIG706 is possibly fake. Bargains galore: Shoppers snap up some Christmas gifts at last year’s Kingston Arts Makers Market.

Man assaulted A MAN in his mid-40s was walking along Nepean Hwy, Mentone just south of Swanson St about 10pm on 28 November when he was assaulted by three men. He sustained injuries to his face and was taken to hospital. The attackers are described as being 20-30 years old, one Caucasian and two with tanned skin.

Subways raided TWO Subway stores – one in Chelsea Heights and the other in Dingley Village – were burgled over the weekend. Between 10.30pm Sunday and 6.30am Monday offenders forced the front door of the store in Piper Rd. They opened a rear safe and stole the contents. Between 3-3.45am on 28

November offenders smashed a glass door to enter the Subway on the corner of Tootal and Centre Dandenong roads and stole a cash box.

Jewellery stolen A HOUSE in Isabella St, Parkdale was burgled on Monday. The offender/s are believed to have walked down a side driveway to enter the backyard and gain entry to the house. Once inside they stole jewellery, including two necklaces, from the main bedroom and two cash boxes from children’s bedrooms.

Toilet entry THIEVES forced a toilet window of a house in Voltri St, Mentone, on 26 November and stole a money tin and gold cross necklace. Kingston police believe the offender/s climbed a downpipe and then cut flywire from the window and removed glass louvres to gain entry.

Traffic stop Did you know? A DRIVER needs to have a clear and unobstructed view of the road and traffic to the front, sides and rear of the car. Phone and GPS units placed on windscreens obstruct the view of the driver. They should be below or above the line of sight, not just to one side. Also, no items should hang from the rear view mirror to obstruct vision. Road Rule 297 (2) $221 on-the-spot fine, or up to over $700 at court.

Tommy Ruff Fish Bar If summer means anything it means fish and chips but they too often entail grease overload and lingering self-loathing. Tommy Ruff makes it easy to avoid the oil and the “oh no” with lighter, fresher options and an eat-in restaurant at takeaway prices. The owners are John and Helen Stamoulis, who have wrapped up about a million paper packets of steaming seafood and spud at former South Melbourne institution Clarendon Fish and Chippers and Malvern’s Red Mullet Fishcaf. Their new place is a smart, appealing update on a favourite fast food, with a focus on grilled fish, generous serves and a gentle nudge towards more

sustainable options. Fish is served with either brown rice or salads. Daily specials reflect seasonal catches and popular cuisines like their famous Mexican fish tacos. It doesn’t stop there, anyway: there’s baked whole fish, mussel pots, oysters and skewered garlic prawns, which I would have devoured more eagerly if they’d been deveined. If seafood doesn’t suit, there are burgers and souvlaki – oh, and mostly homemade Greek biscuits and desserts. 574 Main Street, Mordialloc Phone 03 9580 2525 email: eat@tommyruff.com.au www.tommyruff.com.au

Eviction fear looms at cabin park Summer different catch Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au SEAFORD Beach Cabin Park residents still have the prospect of eviction looming over them with a new deadline for Frankston Council to stop a lease on Crown land fast approaching. Council has decided not to renew the lease on part of the cabin park where 20 cabins, housing about 40 families, are located. Residents received a temporary reprieve from eviction when council moved the deadline from the end June this year to March next year. Negotiations between cabin park owner Michael Hibbert and council regarding a possible land swap deal which would allow the 20 cabins to remain onsite are ongoing but it seems there has been little progress in the past few months. The cabin park offers transitional low-cost housing and emergency accommodation for the marginalised and disadvantaged. More than 50 people attended a public meeting hosted by Seaford Community Committee last Thursday evening with the majority expressing their view that council should find a way to keep the 20 cabins onsite. Council has previously indicated it intends to build a carpark on the Crown land section of the cabin park but now denies this will be the case yet refuses to disclose the future use for the land,

By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro AS spring draws to a close and we enter into summer our fishing options open further. Mako shark, kingfish, whiting, salmon, garfish and another round of squid. Yep, if you're into fishing the Mornington Peninsula is a fine place to be The fishing on the Port Phillip side of the peninsula has been a bit everywhere. Some boats are compiling some great catches, yet others only a few meters away have been coming home bare. These results can sometimes be attributed to varying levels of ability. Currently, this is more to do with the mood of the fish than the angler's ability to angle. While snapper are still the major target of many anglers, squid and whiting are about and quite a few anglers are targeting them with some good results. Some good flathead continue to be landed both in close and in the snapper grounds. The occasional salmon is about, but there are no great numbers at the moment. Squid, garfish, leatherjacket and whiting have been the mainstay of the piers. From the beaches there are a few salmon about and as this water gets warmer the flathead will start to show as well. For those fishing at gummy sharks have been targeted with success.

Eviction fear: Seaford Beach Cabin Park resident Kevin Marley worries Frankston Council will force many families to leave the community for disadvantaged and marginalised people. Picture: Gary Sissons

citing “confidential” reasons in line with the Local Government Act. Deputy mayor, Cr Glenn Aitken, and councillors Colin Hampton and Rebekah Spelman attended last week’s meeting to hear residents’ concerns about their looming eviction. Kevin Marley is just one resident who has voiced his fears of eviction. “There are a lot of people who cannot afford to move out of this park and live elsewhere,” he said. “We are all friends here, we look after each other. “If we lose this, people have got nowhere to go. How many people are council going to put out on the streets?” Seaford Community House and the St Anne’s Parish Social Justice Group have written an open letter to Frankston Council asking them to find a compromise to avoid evicting any residents

from Seaford Beach Cabin Park. The groups said the cabin park “appears to be well managed” and provides a refuge for the vulnerable who are coping with homelessness or unemployment. Council rejected a previous planning application to build 51 units on the site but Mr Hibbert said he would sign a covenant prohibiting any building application for at least ten years. Seaford Community Committee chair David Moloney said he believed the cabin park is “safe for residents and a great little community”. “It should be about people rather than property,” Mr Moloney said. Councillors who attended the meeting said no final decision had yet been made and residents’ concerns would be noted.

Bagged: A nice catch of King George whiting.

Over in Western Port the whiting have been good on both Quail and Tyabb banks. Best results have varied between two and five metres. Australian pippies have been the best bait. The snapper in Western Port are biting like their kin in Port Phillip. There is no great consistency in results, although they are there in good numbers. Other species making a welcome addition to creels are gummy sharks, trevally, salmon, leatherjacket, grass whiting and rock flathead. n Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www.morningtonboathire.com.au or call 5975 5479).

Anglers caught up in animal ethics row Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au CATCHING a large stingray off Portsea pier last week was probably a legal – but not socially responsible - act, fishing writer Paul Pingiaro said last week. Smooth back rays are not protected as long as the angler plans to eat his catch - and not just leave it to die on the beach, according to Fisheries Victoria. In the incident, a group of Asian men had caught the stingray – known as Old George by locals - and dragged it down to the beach before being coerced into releasing it by a passer-by. It reportedly then swam back under the pier and, hopefully, survived. Pingiaro, whose column regularly appears in The News and who runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point and Yaringa Boat Hire at Somerville, said publicity surrounding the catch could be used on social media to denigrate recreational angling. “I am concerned that fishing is becoming a political pastime,” he said. “Different people – such as PETA [People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals] - could use it to push their own political agenda. “It’s all about the perception of fishing.” Pingiaro said “a lot of people with a lot of pull” monitored and trolled through social media and he occasionally saw reposted images – such as the stingray – that could be used to further their aims. “The world is getting too savvy,”

Fish trap: Paul Pigiaro warns that anglers could “tarnish their sport” by catching too many fish.

he said. “Fishermen are their own harshest critics, but they should know that they need to be more aware. That stingray catch could tarnish the sport.” Asked if recreational anglers sometimes let their egos get in the way of responsible fishing, Pingiaro said the “green eyed monster could rear its head” when anglers are out to catch their personal best. “It’s a lot like golf, or anything that can be measured by

size and weight,” he said. “It can be brutal out there; very emotive.” Pingiaro said the need for commercial netting bans in the bay had not been scientifically established. “We’ve had the Hutchins’ family [forebears of Neville and Dalton] netting off Fisherman’s Beach [Mornington] since the early 1900s and, if anyone should have the right to fish here, it is them. “The government can’t just turn

around and say ‘You are banned’. They can’t just use minimal evidence and ban it because everything that is sustainable should be ok; they can’t just lock people out, such as the netters. “If you could use that logic, then, if and when the Greens get into government, they could use that as a precedent to ban recreational angling.” He said all user groups should be considered equally and only scientific – not emotional - evidence used to manage them. Pingiaro said “most people on the Mornington Peninsula are privy to using a rod and line – it’s part of our lifestyle”. But he said he didn’t like seeing “huge culls” of fish. “Do we have to catch our bag limit?” he asked. “This is quite an emotive issue; people see red on both sides. It is not for one body to yell and scream but for the fisheries and the government to scientifically study the science and plan to manage the bay’s sustainability.” PETA spokesman Claire Fryer said fishing “is far from a healthy and harmless pastime”. “No one would consider doing to other animals what some so casually do to sea animals - trick them into impaling themselves in the mouth and pulling them into an environment where they can’t breathe. “Fish, like this stingray – even when released after being caught - can suffer from damage to their delicate fins and mouths making it impossible to eat. “Other problems include losing their protective scale coating, making them vulnerable to disease, with a danger-

ous build-up of lactic acid in their muscles and oxygen depletion. “Researchers at the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation found that as many as 43 per cent of fish released after being caught died within six days. But, whether they are bass or basset hounds, catfish or cats, all animals treasure their lives and feel pain.” She said a British government animal welfare advisor, Dr Donald Broom, had proved that fish feel pain like all animals. “The scientific literature is quite clear,” he reportedly said. “Anatomically, physiologically and biologically, the pain system in fish is virtually the same as in birds and mammals.” Ms Fryer quoted Dr Austin Williams, a US national marine fisheries service zoologist, as saying fish “are sentient organisms, so of course they feel pain”. “Angling doesn’t just hurt fish, either. Every year, anglers leave behind a trail of victims that includes millions of birds, turtles, and other animals who suffer debilitating injuries after swallowing fish hooks or becoming entangled in fishing line. Wildlife rehabilitators say that discarded fishing tackle is one of the greatest threats to aquatic animals. “We cannot dismiss the rights and feelings of fish simply because we perceive them to be less intelligent than other animals. Superior intelligence does not entitle one human being to abuse another, so why should it entitle humans to abuse other animals?”

TAFE comes up trumps FRANKSTON’S Chisholm TAFE has taken out a pretigous national award after winning the title of Australia’s Large Training Provider of the Year for the first time. The Vocational Education and Training provider won the title at the 20th annual Australian Training Awards ceremony in Adelaide on Friday 21 November. The Large Training Provider of the Year award is the pinnacle of the evening which sees the Federal Government recognising top achievers in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector. Chisholm CEO Maria Peters said she was “delighted to accept this award on behalf of the Chisholm board, staff and students, without whom this achievement would not have been possible.”

“An organisation’s success is not possible without its people. I would like to acknowledge and thank the board of Chisholm,” Ms Peters said. “It is under their guidance that Chisholm remains a viable and healthy Institute able to offer the programs that have led to success for the Institute and our students. “I would also like to thank our executive and management team, our leaders, who have worked together to lead Chisholm to strategic growth in a climate of change; and most importantly our teachers and professional support staff who have engaged with industry to develop more responsive and relevant education programs across VET and higher education and who have worked tirelessly to realise our values”.

Chisholm seems to have coped better than many TAFEs elsewhere after significant state government funding cutbacks and is one of the top performing TAFEs in Victoria. Chisholm’s strong operational results, clear strategy and commitment to being an institute, workplace and partner of choice were key elements highlighted in the award selection process. With 400 nationally recognised courses, Chisholm is constantly reviewing its offerings with respect to employment needs and providing educational products that meet the learning needs of our students and clients. This enabled Chisholm to record strong growth in training activity across VET, degree programs and other commercial programs.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Good rain promises bumper crops this season Compiled by Melissa Hodge THE monthly meeting of committee of the Somerville Fruitgrowers Association in the Mechanics Hall on Monday next at 8pm when the report of the show committee will be considered and other business. *** THE Mornington Racing Club have accepted the offer of Mr P. F. Hogan of Prahran, at £10, for the publican’s booth at the meetings on December 8, and the refreshment and luncheon booth will be at the capable hands of Mr Bien. The chief secretary has proclaimed race day a public holiday throughout the shire of Mornington. *** MR J. A. Jensen, assistant minister of Defence, accompanied by Rear Admiral Sir William Creswell, visited the Westernport Naval Base on Saturday for the purpose of inspecting the works in progress there. Sir Creswell stated that the work in progress was proceeding satisfactorily. Good progress had been made and he was well satisfied with what he had seen during the tour of inspection. *** THE lads of the district who have joined the Second Expeditionary Force, will be farewelled in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Monday evening, when they will be presented with souvenirs to keep in remembrance of old friends. A good programme will be gone through consisting of Patriotic songs and addresses and a farce by the members of St Pauls Club. The Brass

Band will also play several selections. *** A court of Petty Sessions was held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Monday, before Messrs Tanner PM, C. G. V. Williams, and W. Ottes, J.P’s. Several cases of children being absent from school and cases of nonvaccination were brought up by Constable McCormack and the parents were fined in various cases. *** AS a result of competitive examinations, held in October, Mr Frank Plowman, son of Dr Plowman of Frankston, has gained eligibility for entrance to the Duntroon Military College of the Commonwealth. In Victoria there were 83 candidates and many other competitors from other states. Mr Plowman was tenth in order of merit of all the commonwealth candidates. It may be mentioned that this year he won from scratch the Geelong Grammar School mile walk and was second in the state event at the Combine Sports (all starting from scratch). *** THE Frankston Choral Society’s Concert, given as a complimentary to Rosa Alba (the brilliant new soprano) takes place this (Saturday) evening, and promises to be one of the best ever given in the hall. A first class programme has been arranged, including several songs by Rosa Alba and Frederic Earp (the popular. English baritone) will give a recital of “’Ye old English Lyrics and Folk Songs.”

Mr W. Myers, who is favorably known as a raconteur will recite and the Choral Society will render several madrigals and glee. Taken altogether, the concert should be well worth listening to, and we would advise those who wish to get a good seat to go early and avoid the crush. *** THE necessity of posting Christmas letters and pickets early is emphasised in an order issued to Commonwealth post masters, directing them to take action to invite the co-operation of the public in the matter. Attention is drawn to the fact that early posting of Christmas matter ensures timely delivery, but posting with a hare margin for delivery on Christmas day is likely to defeat its own object because of delay, due to congestion. As a means of avoiding congestion, and to provide for the expeditious delivery of mail matter at this period, postal articles, other than news papers, which it is desired should be delivered but not opened by the addressee until Christmas or New Year and bearing the endorsement “Not to be opened until Christmas” or other suitable inscription, may now be posted. *** IT will be seen by an advertisement in another column that a sea trip from Stony Point to San Remo has been organised by the Westernport Progress Association for Thursday evening. If the weather is favourable this is one of the most enjoyable excursions

possible. Their steam will return from San Remo to catch the special train at Stony Point at 6.30pm. Only 160 tickets have been printed so that early purchase of tickets is advisable to prevent disappointment on the day. The price of each ticket is 3/6 for the sea journey (the ordinary return cost being 10s.) Tickets can be obtainable in Frankston from Dr Plowman, hon secretary to the Association, Mr F. G. Chamberlin, and Mr J. Reynolds. . *** MESSRS A. Scott and Co. will hold their usual monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next when they will have a good yarding of stock, also sheep and lambs. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason’s monthly sale at Somerville will be held on Wednesday next, for which entries are invited by the auctioneers. *** A QUIET wedding was celebrated at the Roman Catholic Church, Frankston, on Monday last, the contract or Miss Annie Brody, eldest daughter of Mr Frank Brody of Frankston, and Mr J. S. Jordon. After the ceremoony the happy couple left by evening train for the Gippsland Lakes where the honeymoon will be spent. *** MR and Mrs G. Griffith intend celebrating the opening of their new Two-Bays building at the Moorooduc Railway Station by a concert, dance, and supper on Wednesday evening

next. A small charge will be made for admission, which it is intending to donate to the Lady Helen Munro Ferguson’s Red Cross Fund. *** MR Alec Clarey will give his interesting and amusing cure on Phrenology in the Mechanics Hall Frankston on Wednesday evening next week when he will read the heads of those who submit themselves to him. *** IT is with regret that we announce the death of Miss Emily McLear, second daughter of Mr and Mrs G. McLear, of “Mayfield” Dromana. The deceased, who was only 18 years of age, had been in ill health for some time. But her death came as a shock to her family and friends. The funeral which took place on Wednesday at 2 o’clock was very well attended. Rev Sherwood affiliating at the grave. Deepest sympathy is felt by all for the family on their bereavement. *** THE rain last week did a great amount of good to orchid and nurseries. The fruit trees in the district never looked better and are carrying a fair crop especially Jonathon apples. Buyers are operating freely and much higher prices are offering for fruit that has been the case for many years, the reason being the failure of crops in all other parts. The Mutton bird eggers hive returned from the rockeries at Philip Island with good baskets upwards of 500 dozen being secured by the Somerville contingent. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 5 December, 1914.

ENTERTAINMENT

Performance GRAMMY Award winner Neil Diamond will embark on an Australian tour in 2015. Neil Diamond World Tour 2015 will kick off in Melbourne at the Rod Laver Arena on 27 October 2015 before heading to Adelaide, Brisbane and the Hunter Valley and conclude in Sydney. New York born Diamond worked as a songwriter before performing in local coffee shops and signing to Bang Records where he recorded his first three singles Solitary Man, Cherry Cherry and I’ve Got the Feeling. As a songwriter he wrote big hits for the Monkees (I’m a Believer and A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You), Lulu and the Hollies (He Ain’t Heavy…He’s My Brother). As a solo artist, his big breakthrough came with Sweet Caroline, which became a Top 10 hit in the US and Australia. In fact, Diamond has had more than seven Top 10 hits in Australia and 11 Top 40 hits. The 2015 tour will feature songs from his newest studio album Melody Road which debuted in the Top 10 in Australia, as well Neil’s long list of hits spanning many decades including Cherry Cherry, Holly Holy, Cracklin’ Rosie, Song Sung Blue, You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, Solitary Man, Sweet Caroline, Love on the Rocks, Desiree and Shilo. Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 12 noon on Thursday 11 December. Ensuring there is something for every fan, Dainty Group is offering a range of ticket options for all arena shows from $59.90 to $159.90 plus transaction and credit card charges where applicable. “Neil is one of the greatest live performers in the world and I have been honoured to work with him for more than 3 decades and now again on his 2015 world tour,” Dainty Group chairman Paul Dainty said. “The depth and power of the Neil Diamond songbook, from his early hits, right through to his brand new critically acclaimed Melody Road album, will ensure an incredible live concert experience for all fans.”

the production. The show originated in Australia, where after years of planning, Walking with Dinosaurs came to life at Sydney’s Acer Arena in January 2007. Soon after this successful season the show went on to conquer Europe and Asia garnering record-breaking statistics. Tickets at www.visaentertainment. com.au and www.dinosaurlive.com

Tickets at www.ticketek.com.au/neildiamond More information www.daintygroup. com/neildiamond-aus *** AFTER several years of expansion throughout the 1980s, the Victorian Football League became the Australian Football League in 1990. Celebrating 25 years of AFL Grand Finals, Shock Entertainment has packaged a limited edition collection presented in a custom book with slipcase containing rare photos and insights from that one day in September. Marvel at the electrifying individual brilliance of Norm Smith Medallists such as Peter Matera, Andrew McLeod, Chris Judd and Steve Johnson. It also features the nail biting finishes like the West Coast Eagles vs Sydney Swans classics and the 2010 draw. Watch in awe at the dominance of the Brisbane Lions’ three-peat and Geelong Cats’ dominance winning three premierships in 2007, 2009 and 2011.

*** THE first record Elvis Presley ever made will go up for auction next year, along with his first driver’s licence. The items are among 68 collectables going under the hammer on 8 January. Presley was 18 in June 1953, when he paid $4 at Sun Studios to record My Happiness on a 78rpm acetate disc as a gift for his mother. *** Sinead O’Connor has just announced the addition of a Melbourne date to her 2015 I’m not Bossy I’m the Boss Australian tour. Sinead will appear at Hamer Hall, Arts Centre on Wednesday

4 March and the Port Fairy Folk Music Festival 6-7 March. *** DINOSAURS will once again roam Australian soil when the spectacular production, Walking with Dinosaurs – The Arena Spectacular, based on the award winning BBC TV series, returns in 2015 at the Hisense Arena, from 2529 March. Worldwide, more than eight million people in 243 cities have seen Walking with Dinosaurs. Ten species are represented from the entire 200 million year reign of the dinosaurs. The show includes the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the terror of the ancient terrain, as well as the Plateosaurus and Liliensternus from the Triassic period, the Stegosaurus and Allosaurus from the Jurassic period and Torosaurus and Utahraptor from the awesome Cretaceous period. The largest of them, the Brachiosaurus, is 36 feet tall and 56 feet from nose to tail. It took a team of 50, including engineers, fabricators, skin makers, artists and painters, and animatronic experts – a year to build

“preserving the quality of life on the peninsula as a key focus”. Rosebud Hospital Marty, surely and more buses, taxis? *** “NO cuts to the ABC and SBS” said Lord Tony, sincerely supported by the smiling assassin, Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull. Surely nobody in their right mind believed Tony so why scream now? What did Julia or Kevvy do for them while they had a chance; neither having an arts bone in their bodies? Think of the positives. No more Upper Middle Bogan and It’s a Date? Still, the ABC and SBS are vital links to our sense of reality. Close the doors and you let the wolves in, all wearing blue ties. Best to hope, though forlorn, for a one-term government and a Labor Party with an appreciation for the arts. And Collingwood for premiers in 2020. *** ORCHIDS to Jacqui Lambie and Ricky Muir for stepping out of their yellow PUP suits to vote against the changes to the financial advice laws. Not that I care two hoots for the laws either way. Those silly enough to get financial advice will find a way whatever. Recall the stupidity of Pyramid shares at 15 per cent? It’s the principle of the two senators I admire, in this single instance anyway. *** LINDSAY Fox keeps that 45 metres

of Point King Beach at Portsea despite Matthew Guy’s vow to bring in retrospective laws, which of course nobody of sane mind believed. Terry McCrann on the matter of corporate tax avoidance: “No-one benefits from wasting time and societal outrage chasing imaginary avoidance shadows down figurative rabbit holes”. Terry should know. He’s been deep in those rabbit holes creating opposition to the Labor Party for many years. I’ve never seen Terry in the flesh but if he’s taller than 160cm I’d be disappointed. *** A FAIRFAX/Ipsos poll indicated some three out of four people favoured access to a physician for assisted death. Inconclusive but good enough for me. The Medical Board of Australia suspends Dr Philip Nitschke because they are “focused on public safety and managing risk to patients”. Tripe. There are many aspects to considering the euthanasia question but to date the Medical Board of Australia has given us nothing, apart from smoking being the major cause of all ills. I place no blame on doctors in the palliative care industry knowing first hand of the great work they do, however I suspect if Rupert Murdoch or Lindsay Fox ever get to wanting euthanasia they would have no problem. In life, in politics, in gambling, it’s who you know.

This 26-DVD set has the lot, including the 2014 Toyota AFL Grand Final; this highly coveted collection will be limited and numbered. A truly unique and collectable piece that will be highly prized by any fan of Australian Football. AFL – 25 Years of AFL Collection is available on 3 December and is a great Christmas gift. www.shock. com.au

*** SINGER-SONGWRITER Robby X, who is an ambassador for the McGrath Foundation, will be donating royalties from the sale of her new single Never Wanna Let You Go to the foundation to assist with their fundraising efforts. Never Wanna Let You Go is the first single lifted from Robby’s latest album Obsession which debuted at No.25 on the iTunes Top 300 Pop Albums Chart last week. For the album, Robby assembled an impressive list of musical collaborators. Among them, award winning songwriter/producer, Lindsay Rimes (The Madden Brothers, Tina Arena) and Ciaran Gribbin (Snow Patrol, Paul McCartney, and INXS). Robby X is already well known as creative collaborator and wife of Country superstar Lee Kernaghan.

A Grain of Salt JANUARY (Janus) approaches. We brace ourselves for the onslaught after the mild schoolies entree. Two faces looking to the future and the past. Croats, Latvians, Italians, Greeks, Moslems, Asians, the Rye carnival; make my month. Bring your ski jets, your wonderful loud music. “The more our moral thoughts are abundant and solid the more engrossing they are and oppressive” [Montaigne]. Not a day passes without a thought to my future, fleetingly dismissed in favour of the forlorn hope of something, even sexual stimulation whatever the form. Should age be a barrier to anything other than approved puritan behaviour? The handicaps arrive to stay, forever, and nobody is listening. Oppressive indeed. It’s the silly season, debauchery thoughts disallowed. Bring it on. A song? “Away in a Manger”. The little Lord Jesus. *** ONE of the great consistencies in our way of life is if you tell people enough times it’s as sure as night follows day the thought will become embedded with little if any reasoning. Julie Bishop in a 7.30 interview mentioned five times “the mess Labor left us in”. Letters to newspapers as in “they’re spending our money”,or locally the Liberal government cleaning up Labor’s inability to handle financial matters. If one was to spend time asking people

PAGE 30

for the “facts” they will give you a few whys, where always inferences only reign supreme. There’s seemingly this desire to believe whatever is obscure. Add in Stephen Milne, unions, witches, miracles, UFOs. Before elections it’s law and order, union thuggery and silence for the likes of banks and Grocon. It begins with a thread and follows on, relentlessly. Ever a fascination. *** DENIS and Danny big on hospitals but no mention of Rosebud hospital? Martin Dixon quiet on his promise of the aquatic centre on the foreshore, abandoned, with a $3 million government compensation offer, if they win? It’s a long way from Rye to Frankston by ambulance suffering from a heart attack. I spent four hours in Frankston Hospital recently courtesy of the ambos; amazing skills, 14 hour shifts, underpaid. Attended by nurse Jacqui, no relation to darling Senator Jacqui Lambie, speaker of renown. Charming Jacqui, but no escape from bandaids to all parts of my chest, a particular glint when spotting chest hairs; the secret masochist. Signed myself out at 2am. Dreadful beds and plastic pillows worse than the thought of possible disaster. Frankston was fine but Rosebud Hospital is surely to the stage of needing a permanent update. According to an opposition local newspaper Martin Dixon cited

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Reinventing myself in the blink of an eye By Stuart McCullough IS it ever too late to reinvent yourself? Like week-old bread or the pair of unwashed socks that fall behind the back of the couch and are discovered only upon moving out, I have become stale. It’s time to jazz things up a little. By ‘jazz things up’ I don’t mean speaking in an odd time signature before undertaking a twelve-minute solo that sends people to sleep, growing a goatee while wearing a black skivvy or even donning a beret indoors, but some mild kind of metamorphosis that makes life a little more interesting. They options are many and varied. I could always try and alter my physical appearance; lose a little weight, perhaps even up the exercise quotient in the faint hope that my t-shirts will soon struggle to contain bulging muscles rather than wobble like a plate full of trifle. But all that sounds like a lot of effort. There must be a simpler option. Maybe some type of catchphrase would help. It works a treat on television sitcoms; there’s no reason it wouldn’t do the same in real life. But which catchphrase should I claim as my own? I can’t imagine myself telling another person to ‘Sit on it, bucko’. The circumstances in which I might reasonably ask ‘Whatchoo talkin’ ‘bout Willis?’ without exposing myself to substantial ridicule are, by any measure, limited. The time for ‘aye currumba’ has, sadly, been and gone. ‘Book ‘em Danno’ would be flat-out confusing. Stealing someone else’s catchphrase is a tricky business. They generally belong to an individual and either sound disingenuous or

hopelessly out of date when found in the mouths of others. It will have to be something else. It’s often said that clothes maketh the man. Given that I, as I’m writing this, am wearing tracksuit pants and a t-shirt bearing the slogan, ‘I do all my own stunts’, I can only hope that this is wrong. Clothing aside, what re-

ally maketh a man memorable is his jewellery. In high school, I owned a silver chain. Presumably I was hoping to ward off vampires when I should have chosen something that repelled mosquitoes instead. The man-chain is a distinct look that deserves further consideration. When a man wears a necklace, more often than not, a cou-

ple of buttons are sacrificed in order to ensure the full magnificence of the work is on display. Perhaps it’s time to give up on neckties and pursue the man-chain? After a moment’s thought, I suspect I speak for everyone when I say, ‘Thanks, but no thanks’. I like to keep my buttons securely fastened. Those who like to take it down a notch and treat their chest like a display pillow for precious metals are, frankly, far too bohemian for my tastes. Of course, there are other options - it doesn’t have to be a necklace. Piercings are always a popular option. I had my ears pierced at the end of high school and it would be a shame to puncture them all over again as I feel they’ve only recently ceased to be infected. As for other piercings – nose, eyebrow or other parts too far-flung and uncomfortable to mention – they don’t say ‘reinvention’ so much as they scream ‘middle-age crisis’. Besides, what if I pierce something only to have it deflate like a leaky lilo? There’s something I’ve never been game to try. It doesn’t involve putting on a costume or violating your physical integrity but it just might be the pathway to reinvention. Winking. I’ve long held a fascination for those who feel so confident with their place in the world that they’ll wink at another person while speaking to them. Whenever it happens, my first instinct is to question whether, in fact, I just imagined it. That’s the thing about winking at others – it’s so audacious that it makes the other person question their very sanity. You never see a wink coming. That’s because there’s never an appropriate

time to let one fly. It simply comes out of nowhere and leaves you feeling as though everything you know is wrong. Truth be told, I’ve never really had the right amount of confidence. There’s always the risk of misjudging. If you wink at someone and they ask you whether there’s something in your eye, you know you’ve made a complete hash of it. Or they think you’re lying; that whatever you’ve just said is an utter falsehood, all because you closed one eye and not the other. Worse still is the possibility that you might come across as kind of creepy and rather than drawing others into your confidence you have, in fact, repelled them as surely as a can of Mortein. I’ve decided. There will be no winking. Reinvention can’t be forced, it must occur naturally. Unless, of course, you’re Madonna which, for the most part, I am not. Besides, winking is not much use to those who write. There’s something about it that fails to translate to the page. Winking may be fine for some, but for me the risks are simply too great. Pretending to be a winker would be to defy my natural instincts. Nor do I intend to get a bunch of piercings that make my eyes water before ripping the top two buttons off every single one of my shirts and adopting the man-chain. Just because you can reinvent yourself doesn’t mean you should. Inertia has its upside. There’s something to be said for staying right…where…you… are. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

scoreboard Hills manage to lose ‘the unlosable’ CHELSEA MORDIALLOC MENTONE NEWS

PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully HEATHERHILL remains winless at the bottom of the MPCA Provincial ladder after Langwarrin staged a magnificent come from behind victory. Kangas spin king Dwayne Doig snared 7/30 off 31.2 overs and master bowler Adrian Mack took 3/39 from 22 overs to drag their team over the line. After the first day of the match, it appeared there was no way that Langwarrin could win after being bowled out for just 93. Heatherhill resumed on day two, just 24 runs shy of victory with six wickets in hand. However, Doig and Mack went to work and between them snared 5/8 to have the Hills nine down. Jon Powell, who was the Heatherhill weapon with the ball taking seven wickets, almost won them the game with the bat, batting at 11. Powell made 10 runs and got the Hills to within five runs of victory before he danced down the pitch to a Doig floater. Keeper Taylor Smith whipped off the bails to give him his fifth dismissal of the innings nd Doig’s seventh scalp. Heatherhill was all out for 89 in the 65th over. Langwarrin fared better with the bat in the second innings, finishing on 4/151, Matty Prosser unbeaten on 48 to give him his highest score in First XI cricket. Crib Point completed the expected and knocked over Rye outright.

The Magpies had already claimed the 12 points before the second day of the match after bowling the Demons out for 128. Crib Point resumed at 2/150 after Luke Herrington made 72. Rob Hearn added just four runs (70) to his overnight score before the Pies declared at 6/181. Rye was bowled out for 114 in its second dig, Brad Davidson the destroyer for the Pies with 5/47, while Glenn Barclay picked up 3/40, giving him match figures of 7/81. Crib Point needed just 60 odd runs to pick-up the outright, which it did without losing a wicket. Henry Dolphin was unbeaten on 37. Sorrento continued its march, smashing Mornington by six wickets. The Dogs did everything right when it set the Sorras a total of 250 for victory on the first day. However, Corey Harris made an unbeaten 119 and Nick Jewell helped himself to another half century (61) to give the Sharks an easy victory. The usual potent Mornington attack didn’t provide any problem for the home side, who sit pretty on top of the table. Despite an unbeaten 101 from Long Island master Scott Phillips, it wasn’t enough to help his side claim the points against Peninsula Old Boys. Set 245 for victory, the Islanders were looking alright at 2/80, before losing two quick wickets. Simon Dignan joined Phillips at the crease and again, the Islanders looked as though they were getting back on top,

before Dignan was removed for 21 with the score on 147. Stephen Hocking was the next to join Phillips and together, they pushed the score beyond 200. Hocking’s dismissal saw the end of the Islander’s push for victory. The Old Boys claimed 5/25, thanks largely to the efforts of Tom Feldgen, who picked-up two of the last five wickets (both bowled), to give him 3/36 from nine overs. Long Island was bowled out for 226. Moorooduc successfully defended its 157 against Pines. The Ducs notched up their first win of the season after rolling the Piners for just 141. Pines resumed at 3/41, however, Greg Pullen bowled wonderfully well for the Ducs, claiming 5/31 from 16 overs. Jeremy Weare was Pines only shining light with 76. At the other end of the scale, five Pines batsmen were dismissed for ducks. Baxter got the job done against Mt Eliza, winning by 36 runs. Baxter resumed at 2/68 on the second day after Mt Eliza made 171 in their first innings. A sensational 102 from Daniel Warwick and 40 from Shane McComb ensured the home side picked up the 12 pints. Mt Eliza still only has the one win for the season, while Baxter remains at the top of the ladder.

Parkers in strife, Red Hill further in front DISTRICT

By IT Gully LAST year’s MPCA District grand finalists Delacombe Park are in danger of missing the finals this season after going down yet again on Saturday. Up against Main Ridge, Delacombe needed just 162 runs to claim victory. They resumed three wickets down but things didn’t improve, eventually bowled out for just 123. Shane Deal was the team’s highest scorer with 32. Andrew Christides was left unbeaten on 25. Scott Millar was outstanding for the Ridge with 5/67 from 34 overs, while Gareth Wyatt claimed 3/12 from eight overs. Carrum staged a great victory over Mt Martha, winning a tight one by just two runs. Set 166 for victory, the Lions needed just 43 runs with five wickets in hand on the second day. It was a scrape but they got there, thanks largely to the start the openers gave, Shaun Foster scoring 55 and Dale O’Neil 36. Seaford Tigers knocked over Hastings as expected. The Blues remain on the bottom of the ladder after being bowled out for just 63. Hastings resumed at 3/8 after bowling the Tigers out for 148 on the opening day. However, other than an unbeaten 38 from Luke Hewitt, the Blues were ordinary with the bat. Matty Meagher was sensational for the Tigers with 8/20.

PAGE 34

Carey Sawosz finish with match figures of 6/49 after claiming two second innings’ wickets. Seaford did well to pick-up the 220 needed for victory against Flinders. It appeared the Sharks may have done enough after the first day of the match, scoring 8/220, however, Seaford got the runs with three wickets in hand. Faisal Payenda top scored for Seaford with 51, Paul Hartle chippedin with an unbeaten 47. Andy McMannis was still there at the end too with 38. There were some tense moments for Seaford when they lost 4/35 to slump to 7/145, however, Hartle and McMannis steered the ship home. Somerville did it easy against Baden Powell. Set 167 for victory, Somerville finished the afternoon on 7/214. Leigh Lowry top scored for his team with 70, while Andrew West hit 47. Brendan Jovic was the pick of the Braves bowlers with 4/80. Red Hill extended its lead at the top of the table with an outright victory against Boneo. The Hillmen rolled the Pandas for 75 and 173 while declaring both of their innings just five wickets down. Ryan Jellie with 97 was the shining light for Boneo in what was otherwise a very poor match for them.

Braddles get the job done SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association legend Paul Bradley made life extremely tough for Rosebud on Saturday, preventing them from having any chance of winning the game. The Buds had already lost on first innings at the conclusion of day one, after scoring just 53. Frankston YCW resumed on 3/58, five runs ahead, and their plan was clearly to prevent Rosebud from having the opportunity to bat again. Sam Preston made 16 off 142 balls and batted for three hours, while Paul Bradly made 88 and batted for three and a half hours. Eventually, the Stonecats faced 103 overs and made 176 runs. It was enough to stop the Buds in their tracks. Jason Nagel finished with 4/44 from 33 overs for the Buds while Adam Bryant snared 2/51. Carrum Downs was always in the box seat against Tootgarook after setting the opposition 284 for victory. It proved to be 140 too many for the visitors, bowled out for 144. Chris Maloney was the pick of the Cougars’ bowler with 3/37 from 16 overs, while Stuart Swift, Chamara Perera and Shane Walford all claimed two wickets each. Ballam Park escaped an outright loss to Pearcedale, however, it still lost on first innings. The Knights were bowled out for 107 on the first day and at stumps

the Dales were cruising at 1/116. Pearcedale went after the runs early on day two and eventually declared their innings at 5/208. Brad Trotter added 36 runs to his overnight total to make 80, while Shayne Gillings hit 44 and Gav Moore 41. Ballam Park struggled early in their second innings, reeling at 5/70, however, prevented the outright, batting the rest of the day and finishing on 6/222. Nick Papachristofilou top scored with 73 before being run out, while Jon Plakourakis helped himself to 57. Dromana dropped to the bottom of the ladder after losing to Skye. Defending 227, Skye had to work hard early to get wickets but once the top four were gone, the rest fell cheaply, netting just 37 runs between them. Mark Whitehead top scored for the Hoppers with 33. Paul Fillipone was superb for Skye, grabbing 6/47 from 20 overs. Balnarring got the 12 points and now sit comfortably in fourth place on the ladder after a strong victory against Tyabb. Chasing 193 for victory, the Yabbies were bowled out for 158. Jacob Cook was the man who did all the damage for the Saints, picking-up a career-best 8/37.
