‘Lip service’ on station revamp Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Council and the Labor state government are at odds over the $63 million redevelopment of the Frankston train station precinct despite councillors voting last week to endorse the Frankston Station Redevelopment Master Plan.

The unanimous endorsement of the transport hub master plan was hailed as “a major step towards the revitalisation of the city centre” in an official

statement issued by Frankston Council last week but many concerns raised by councillors at last Monday’s public council meeting went unmentioned in council’s statement.

Councillors welcomed the investment by the state government in Frankston but decided to write to Premier Daniel Andrews, Transport Minister Jacinta Allan and Planning Minister Richard Wynne to demand “the Metropolitan Planning Authority take over responsibility for the planning and delivery of the transformation of

Frankston Train Station”.

The MPA was established in 2013 as an independent statutory body to work with councils and other government agencies on major state infrastructure projects in an effort to “depoliticise” some longer-term decisions.

Councillors criticised state government “bureaucrats” for allegedly failing to listen to community feedback on the massive project, seen as crucial to boost Frankston’s economy.

Cr Colin Hampton said “the bureaucrats from Melbourne are taking over

and are not listening to the community”.

“It’s just lip service. That’s all they’re giving the residents of this town – lip service,” he said.

“Unfortunately it is very difficult to get past what they are trying to put forward.”

State government bureaucrats were accused of “just looking for ways to spend the money” rather than working to encourage private investors to invest in the Frankston train station precinct.

Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said a $135 million redevelopment of Ringwood train station had turned into an $800 million rejuvenation of Ringwood thanks to private investment by developers alongside the project.

“It’s quite evident that the plan has been written to accommodate a budget,” Cr Darrel Taylor said.

“It hasn’t been a plan that’s been written to accommodate the future growth and the true plan of what is required in that precinct.”

Rescuers save couple in surging seas

EPA inquiry THE state government is seeking opinions about the future of the Environment Protection Authority.

A public meeting in Frankston on Tuesday 13 October will provide an opportunity for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula residents to have their say about the EPA’s role in land use planning, public health, emergency management, climate change, better regulatory approaches, and ways it can effectively consult with the community.

Frankston is one of 17 locations around the state for meetings to be held as part of an inquiry commissioned by Environment, Climate Change and Water Minister Lisa Neville to look at the future role of the EPA, Victoria’s environmental regulator.

The meeting to discuss the future of the EPA runs 5.30-7.30pm Tuesday 13 October, The Graham Room, Frankston Football Club, Plowman Place, Frankston. Register at epainquiry.vic.gov.au or call 9948 2882.

The inquiry is due to report to Ms Neville by 31 March 2016.

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A BALL game at Frankston beach almost had fatal consequences for a teenage couple last Tuesday afternoon.

Trying to retrieve the ball from the sea at about 2.45pm on Tuesday (6 October) an 18-year-old man and 15-year-old girl, both of Cranbourne, swam out in rough conditions but got into trouble in the rising waves and were in danger of being swept out further.

Luckily, help was at hand: two bystanders on the pier heard their cries for help, jumped in and swam out 30 metres to rescue them.

Albert Ward, 19, of Seaford, and Jarrah Brown, 23, of Glen Waverley, who were having a chat on the pier at the time, didn’t hesitate to brave the surging seas.

“I was a bit shocked and not really sure what to do,” Mr Brown said.

“We heard them calling for help about two-thirds of the way along from the start of the pier and about 30 metres out on the south side.

“It was very rough but we stripped off and dived in after them. I was trying to remember my Year 12 swimming training but instinct kicked in and we managed to get to them.

“The girl was panicking a bit; she was struggling as she had taken in a lot of water. “[Alby] went to the guy and I went to the girl.”

Mr Ward – a New Zealander who moved to Seaford two months ago – had been swimming off the pier and

was packing up to go home when he realised the couple were in desperate trouble.

“We jumped in as soon as we saw them and swam out,” he said. “I helped the guy and we pulled them towards shore.”

Both were barely conscious.

over the rescue. The man was not breathing and had no pulse. They gave initial CPR until paramedics arrived soon afterwards.

The couple were taken to Frankston hospital. The girl was released later that night but the man’s condition was said to be more serious.

Senior Constable Godsmark said Friday he would call doctors about the man’s condition. “I am told he is

doing much better but is still in a serious condition.”

Police Sergeant Rod Hayne, who also attended the rescue scene, said he would recommend Brown and Ward for life-saving awards. “They took decisive action and may have prevented two lives being lost,” he said.

“The police officers did a great job, too.”

Mayor: ‘Speak up on bullying’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON mayor Cr Sandra Mayer has been appointed as an ambassador for an anti-bullying organisation despite Frankston Council itself becoming embroiled in bullying allegations earlier this year.

The mayor began her role as an ambassador for the Bully Zero Australia Foundation, a group whose aim raise awareness of bullying in schools and the workplace, by speaking to McClelland Secondary College students last Thursday about “creating a zero-tolerance culture of bullying”.

In a council media release issued last Friday, Cr Mayer vowed to “speak out against bullying”.

“Bullying can be relentless and lead to very serious outcomes. We must work together to let everyone know that as a community, we will not accept bullying,” she said in the statement.

“There is also a strong message to anyone who witnesses bullying in action: doing nothing is unacceptable. We all have a responsibility to speak up.”

Cr Mayer was less inclined to speak up when bullying allegations were aired at Frankston Council both publicly by councillors at a council meeting in January (‘Councillors ‘feel bullied’’, The Times 26/1/15) and privately to The Times by alleged victims at council who claimed bullying allegations “are swept under the carpet”.

The mayor determined “that there was no basis for a formal official complaint” when some councillors made complaints about alleged bullying behaviour earlier this year (‘Council ‘bullying cover up’’, The Times 2/2/15).

A freedom of information request by

The Times, lodged after council refused to provide any details of bullying at council, revealed there have been five cases of proven or partially proven bullying at Frankston Council within the past two years (‘Bullying confirmed’, The Times 1/6/15).

Cr Mayer and council CEO Dennis Hovenden also refused to answer questions about a WorkCover investigation in 2013 into alleged bullying by Cr Brian Cunial for privacy reasons.

The Times understands a WorkCover claim “for anxiety and stress” was subsequently approved after the investigation was completed.

Council’s media release about the ambassadorial role stated: “The mayor joins a large team of Bully Zero ambassadors from across Australia, which includes journalists, footballers, entertainers, MPs and councillors.”

Family violence up across Frankston Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au CRIME across Frankston has fallen 3.7 per cent but is likely to keep rising in the short term but police say this is a positive development.

Figures for the 12 months to June this year released by the newly formed Crime Statistics Agency reveal overall crime in Frankston dipped slightly from 14,810 in 2013-14 to 14,365 in 2014-15, but there was a jump in intervention order breaches and stalking offences.

Mornington Peninsula Police Acting Inspector Dean Clinton said many of the intervention orders relate to family violence and people are more likely to report such incidents thanks to an increased awareness of what constitutes family violence and a push to focus police resources on tackling domestic violence.

“We have now got two dedicated family violence teams who are out and about tackling these more serious and recidivist family violence offenders,” he said.

Breaches of orders surged to 2763 in 2014-15, up from 1938 in 2013-14.

Acting Inspector Clinton said police are helping victims take action to protect themselves from violence.

“A lot of those orders are family violence based. We have a high number of family violence incidents reported … and that’s because we’re raising awareness of family violence and what constitutes family violence for people to report.”

While intervention breaches were up, crimes against the person in-

cluding assaults and sexual assaults dropped slightly from 1079 to 1045.

Drug offences fell from 1059 in 2013-14 to 1041 in 2014-15 although drug use and possession offences rose from 770 to 790. Drug dealing and trafficking offences fell from 229 in 2013-14 to 194 for 2014-15.

The latest crime figures, released this month, are the first full year’s statistics to be compiled by the independent Crimes Statistics Agency set up by the previous Coalition state government amid claims from politicians that previous data had been massaged for political purposes.

The statistics show for the first time the ages of people and repeat offenders have been recorded by police as alleged offenders and victims.

Crime Statistics Agency chief statistician Fiona Dowsley said that while the number of “unique victims” across Victoria has remained stable from the previous year’s figures, there was a drop in the number of victims under the age of 25.

“Over the last year we have seen a 4 per cent drop in the number of victims under 25, with the greatest change seen amongst 15 to 19 year old victims who dropped by 8 per cent,” Ms Dowsley said.

The number of offenders aged under 25 also dropped, down 4.2 per cent compared to the previous year but these offenders were involved in more incidents on average compared to other alleged offenders’ age groups.

“Our statistics show that on average, offenders under 25 were involved in 2.2 incidents per offender

compared to the overall average of 1.9 incidents per offender.”

In 2011 a Victorian Ombudsman’s report found quarterly crime statistics released three days before the 2010 state election showing a drop in assaults in Melbourne’s CBD “was based on yet to be validated data”.

The Labor state government backed the formation of the CSA when in opposition and Victoria Police supported the Ombudsman’s recommendation to establish an independent body to manage crime statistics.

THE outsourcing of of crime statistics management from Victoria Police to the newly established Crime Statistics Agency will see fees charged for some requests for statistics specifically requested from the independent agency.

Businesses, educational institutions, community groups, private researchers, the media, individuals and even federal and state government departments can now be charged for statistical information about crimes not provided in the CSA’s quarterly crime statistics.

The CSA charges came into force in July this year “on a cost recovery model” according to the agency’s website.

The CSA states: “Clients are only covering the cost of the time it takes for a member of the CSA team to complete the request”.

A total of $156.40 is charged for the first two hours of a request for further crime statistics information and $77.52 per hour is charged for each hour after the first two hours.

Information the CSA deems will take less than two hours to collate will be provided free of charge.

CSA chief statistician Fiona Dowsley said “the majority of requests are small and take less

than two hours to complete”.

“If a request takes two hours or more to complete, the CSA will compile an agreement to proceed and a quote is sent before fulfilling the request.”

A regulatory impact statement by the state Department of Justice in March found: “The provision of customised crime statistics data to individuals or organisations, however, clearly has private good characteristics (in that customised data are likely to be of more use to those making the specific request than to other parties) and therefore a strong case for ‘user pays’ can be made.”

Victoria Police had been previously allowed to charge for crime statistics requests before handing over responsibility for crime data collation to the independent CSA last year.

The CSA was established by the previous Coalition state government at a cost of $8.4 million to taxpayers.

The Labor state government backed the formation of the agency amid concerns the timing of crime statistics could be manipulated for political reasons in the lead-up to elections.

The Dragonflys, part of the Dragons Abreast organisation, offer breast cancer survivors a chance to meet others with similar experiences and have fun while exercising.

The women are putting the call out for new crew members to head along and give rowing a go later this month during National Paddle Month.

Peninsula Dragonflys vice-president Linda Young said the club will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year and currently has 58 paddling members.

Those who find they become competitive rowers can compete against teams from other states. The Peninsula Dragonflys represented Melbourne at the Australian Masters Games in Adelaide at the weekend, winning bronze in the rowing 10s and silver in the 20s competition.

Breast cancer survivors are invited to join the crew on Saturday 24 October and Saturday 31 October at 9.30am.

THE Big V, spearheaded by a Frankston duo, took it up to Australia’s other states at the National Paralympic 7-a-side Football Championships this month.

Frankston striker Matthew Holland and speedy youngster Oran Jones from Seaford played their part in the Victorian Paralympic Football team’s bronze medal winning performances at the tournament hosted in Coffs Harbour.

The team, made up of young men affected by cerebral palsy or acquired brain injuries, fell just short of bringing the ultimate prize of the cup back to Victoria, but saw off the challenge of Western Australia 2-1, grabbed a 2-2 draw against champions New South Wales and an unlucky 0-2 defeat by Queensland in the group stages.

Motorisation Big changes in the legislation for roller blind chain requirements are driving the rapid expansion and development of blind motorisation. Over time this new legislation will result in the complete phase out of all chains on roller blinds. In Europe, it will be compulsory for any new roller blind installed after 2017 to have motorisation instead of roller chains. These legislative changes will soon also apply to the Australian market.

Generations collaborate: Seniors, university students and primary school pupils worked together on an arts exhibition at Monash University’s Peninsula campus. Picture: Kristian Lofhelm

Art project bears fruit THREE generations met last week in Frankston as part of a Monash University project to bridge the learning gap between age groups and meld old school art with modern technology.

Monash students, Banyan Fields Primary School pupils and University of the Third Age (U3A) members from Mornington collaborated on a creative arts project as part of the university’s Creativity, Art, Food and Environment (CAFE) intergenerational experience.

An art studio at Monash University’s Peninsula campus was awash with fruit, vegetables and bush tucker to be used by younger and older artists to create sun prints, stop motion and iPad art.

Banyan Fields Primary art teacher Natalie

Kearney welcomed the opportunity for pupils to interact with older mentors.

“The students experienced a real art studio whilst working with adults to create fruit and vegetable art pieces,” she said.

Challenging stereotypes by having younger and older students work together seemed to bear more fruit than the resultant artworks.

U3A coordinator Libby Wilson said intergenerational activities help promote greater understanding and respect between generations.

“Intergenerational activity contributes to building communities and neighbourhoods where people respect each other and are better connected.”

Clothesline held up as symbol against family violence THE international Clothesline Project in Frankston was launched Monday to raise awareness of family violence.

A clothesline on show at Cube 37, Frankston Arts Centre, 10-13 October, is being used to illustrate the Week Without Violence campaign.

It will then be displayed at different parts of the Mornington Peninsula over the next year.

T-shirts with anti-violence messages will be on show made by women and children impacted by family violence.

Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Family Violence Network is concerned about the high rates of family violence and believes the humble clothesline is a great way of raising awareness in the community.

The network’s volunteers and education assistant manager Saskia Weerheim said the concept was used all over the world.

Australian of the Year Rosie Batty launched a children’s book about family violence, You Can’t Hide An Elephant, Monday, written by local author Sally Halligan.

Ms Weerheim said the book was designed for supported reading with children aged 6-12 years who have experienced family violence, and help give children a voice to share their experiences.

“It can help start a conversation about family violence and give children a voice to share their

experience of family violence,” she said.

“It is ideally suited for use by professionals working with children and has a safety plan which can be photocopied for multiple use.”

The Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Family Violence Network brings together local organisations to offer the best outcomes for families experiencing family violence. They work towards preventing and reducing family violence and increasing the safety of women, children and families.

“The key message is that family violence is a fundamental violation of human rights and is unacceptable in any form,” she said.

Those needing help should call police on 000, Safe Steps (24-hour response) on 1800 015 188 or visit safesteps.org.au

Church celebrating THREE flags in the Mt Eliza village and a large banner outside St James the Less church proclaim that the Anglican Parish of Mt Eliza is celebrating 150 years of service to the community.

Celebrations will continue at the church, corner of Koetong Pde and Nepean Highway, all week.

Council, government clash over station revamp Continued from Page 1 Cr Taylor claimed the state government is backing away from a promise to replicate improvements such as a public plaza in Wells St in Young St due to “high quality seating and lighting” to be installed in Wells St. “They made that commitment … and they need to keep that commitment.”

While the master plan mentions the electrification of the Frankston line to Baxter, councillors noted there is little detail provided about how this will be funded in future stages.

Councillors also criticised a lack of consultation with the private sector over the possibility of basing businesses in and around the train station precinct.

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke hit back at council’s request to have the MPA oversee the train station project.

“The MPA does long term visions and plan - they do not develop or implement projects such as this,” he said.

“As chair [of the Frankston Station Precinct Taskforce], I ensured the MPA were around the table to make sure our initiatives supported council’s long term visions, which they do.”

Mr Edbrooke said council and the community “have been widely engaged and provided an extremely positive response to the initiatives proposed”.

“The bottom line is that Frankston Council were better represented than any other stakeholder, with two out of seven taskforce members belonging to council, and it is time to hear more about what the council are going to commit to this community driven project, which at the moment is nothing, and less of what individuals think is best.”

The Labor MP said he wanted to “con-

tinue to work with council on the development and delivery of improvements to make Frankston a safer, more modern place of business and activity” but hoped councillors would realise there is no short term fix for some long-term intiatives such as the partial electrification of the Stony Point line.

“Electrification of the Baxter line is part of a Public Transport Victoria 15-year network strategy. Whilst I have made sure we have taken into account the electrification of the Baxter line and its impacts at Frankston station, I think the expectation that this large scale funding will be in the state government next financial year forward estimates is extremely naive,” Mr Edbrooke said.

Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer focused on the positives in council’s official statement.

“It will be wonderful watching the changes,” the mayor said.

“The community has long been asking for improvements in the city centre and this is a fantastic opportunity for us all to unite and get behind the transformation.

“As more people see what Frankston has to offer, more opportunities will arise to create jobs and prosperity – not to mention more exciting new spaces for people to come and enjoy themselves.”

The mayor will launch a new promotional video about Frankston and a revamped Invest Frankston website – both developed in partnership with the state government to support the city centre’s revitalisation – on Monday (12 October). n See “Station planners ‘not listening to residents’” by Frankston Station Precinct Taskforce insider Christine Richards, Page 14.

Station planners ‘not listening to residents’ OPINION

By Christine Richards FIRST, the bureaucrats put me in a straight-jacket. Smiling, they looked into my eyes and assured me they cared deeply and wanted to hear everything I had to say. Before I had finished my second sentence, they all walked out of the room, closed the door and sat down in the next room.

All I had to do, they said, was yell through the locked door.

That’s what it felt like dealing with the state government’s planning and transport bureaucrats tasked with transforming the Frankston train station.

Before the 2014 state election, the Labor Party announced it would transform Frankston station with a $50 million plan, adding to the $13.8 million on the table to fund improvements in Young St. Acknowledging that Frankston had waited far too long for its station problems to be fixed, the plan included a taskforce to fast-track master planning for the station precinct.

The plan helped secure the election of Labor’s Paul Edbrooke as MP for Frankston.

True to his party’s pledge, the taskforce held its first meeting within 100 days of Labor taking office.

I was appointed to the community working group providing input to the taskforce – one of two such working groups. We could really make progress now, I thought; until I went to the first major meeting.

More than 50 people met at Frankston Arts Centre in March this

year; the overwhelming majority was Melbourne bureaucrats and consultants. They filled their blackboards with principles that would guide their work such as civic pride, design quality, safety, vibrancy, and building stronger community connections.

The small clutch of Frankston people put up their hands. What about the specific problems the community had said were the most pressing?

The bureaucrats and consultants opened their brief cases and unpacked their agendas. Frankston didn’t need any more commuter parking, they said. People should ride bikes. Buses should remain in Young St. It would cost $12 million a year for bus drivers to drive around the other side of the station. The lack of safety at the station was not an actual problem – it was all in the people’s minds.

And you might not know it, they explained, but Frankston had a major problem at the Beach St level cross-

ing. An overpass with escalators or even some lifts should be built there, and not at the station.

That was their view early in the new year. It is their view now.

Over the next five months, the bureaucrats nodded and smiled as Frankston people talked about the need for a 30-year vision – a planning process that would help steer Frankston City to become a well-built place with a prosperous future for its residents. Consultants whooshed in to meetings to deliver a range of reports, then whooshed out with hundreds of thousands of dollars in their pockets.

At the end of the process, not one meaningful change to the bureaucrats’ initial agenda appeared in the master plan that is now on the Minister for Public Transport’s desk. A future vision is still conspicuously absent.

A state-of-the-art transport hub was the centre piece of Labor’s commitment. Yet in the most spectacular

omission from the planning guided by the bureaucrats to date, consideration about how to improve the travel experience of bus and train travellers (which would seem pivotal to creating a state-of-the-art transport hub) has barely rated a mention.

The state government promised to review the need for a multi-deck car park. Instead, the access and management of car parking (but not the quantity) will be handballed to a committee. Yet another committee has been given the now-acknowledged problem that too much opioid treatment is prescribed and dispensed around the station.

The relocation of the buses from already congested Young St will be considered, but not until some unidentified later stage. Taskforce plans for the transformation of Frankston station are falling well short of what taxpayers, like me, expected them to be.

History tells me that I shouldn’t be surprised. At a public meeting to fix the train station last year, a plan by a state Transport Minister was produced. It promised much of what the Frankston community had been waiting for – a major upgrade around the station precinct; a 1500-space multideck car park; a multi-level building development for additional commercial and retail space; and improved pedestrian access in surrounding streets. The date of the promise was 3 September 1975, four decades ago.

Since then state governments, both Liberal and Labor, have promised to transform the station.

Six days before the 2010 state election, Coalition leader Ted Bail-

lieu stood in the station car park and promised $3 million for a business case and architectural drawings for an upgraded station precinct that would accommodate a new bus interchange, multi-deck car parking, housing, and commercial space for a major employer.

Three and a half years later there were no architectural drawings or business plans. Instead, the departments of transport and planning had spent most of the $3 million on three reports, none of which has yet produced anything concrete at the station. In a result that was worthy of the Monty Python team, one report suggested that $600,000 be spent on the station between 2022 and 2027.

That report cost $800,000.

It is time to give this responsibility to a body more expert at visionary planning. Frankston Council seems to agree; at the council meeting on Monday last week, councillors voted unanimously for a letter to be sent to Premier Daniel Andrews and the Minister for Public Transport Jacinta Allan stating that the Metropolitan Planning Authority needs to take over planning for transformation of the station.

Otherwise Frankston could be waiting another 40 years. n Christine Richards was a Frankston councillor 2008-2012 and mayor in 2010. She is vice-president of Frankston’s chamber of commerce and was convenor of Frankston Community Coalition, which successfully lobbied for greater funding for the station precinct in the lead-up to last year’s state election.

“I belong to a seniors club and we began talking about meals one day and someone said they were using the company and we decided to give it a try. The main reason we did it was that if anything happens to me, Jack would struggle to carry on with preparing food. And the same goes for me if something happened to Jack. It’s a nice break from cooking every night and they have a large choice of meals…everyone has something they don’t like, so it is nice to have a good range to choose from. We have tried a few diferent services, but we are very happy with Choice Fresh Meals...It’s conveniently delivered to our home.

LETTERS Community spirit

Fear-mongering

Over the past days the Carrum Downs community has shown us the true meaning of community spirit (“Hit-run mum death charges”, The Timess, 28/9/15).

Following the very tragic death of local nurse and young mum Andrea Lehane, this extraordinary community has come together in a show of strength, support and resilience.

I joined with thousands of others as we stood together, held hands and lit candles to pay our respects to Andrea at a candlelight service at Carrum Downs shopping centre.

What shone through that night was not anger or hatred but compassion, compassion for Andrea’s family and a steadfast resolve to make Carrum Downs an even better, stronger, caring and compassionate community for all.

I am so very proud to be a part of this community. In the weeks and months ahead I will be asking community members to share their thoughts on what we can do to make our community an even better place for our kids and families.

Sonya Kilkenny, MP for Carrum

Being a member of the Greens I was dismayed, at best, at the party’s irrevocable stance against rate capping. In addition, after reading some comments made by members, it appears that they have abandoned what they profess to hold dear and true – “basing decisions on science and evidence”.

I can find no evidence to support claims like “Even before the details of the new scheme were released, the chilling effect of the anti-democratic rate cap has seen many job losses across local government”.

I have yet to find anything other than rhetoric and fear-mongering by them on this issue. They have ignored any evidence present in the many reports referenced by the Essential Services Commission on rate capping in NSW and I wonder if they have even read any of the information provided by the commission in its discussion paper and draft documents.

They are key participants in the Legislative Council’s Coalition-led witch hunt (Inquiry into Rate Capping Policy), which is in total violation of its own terms of reference “to inquire into and report every six months on the outcome of the state government policy of local government rate capping”.

Rate capping is not even legislated and this committee has already interviewed 16 councils and council peak bodies, only one independent report that was short-circuited, and only two ratepayer groups. When you read the transcripts, their intent becomes patently clear – to discredit rate capping any way they can.

I will continue to support the Greens, as I believe the party’s overall policies are sound.

However, on this issue, I am quite disappointed

Crushing logic If a hoon driver is found to be repeatedly breaking road laws, police can confiscate the car and, subject to certain conditions, have the car crushed.

Why can’t the same principle be applied to monkey bikes?

Michael Long, Frankston Editor: Frankston Council has already adopted a local law that provides for the seizure and destruction of monkey bikes.

in their behaviour and disregard of the abuses of rate rises and financial responsibility by many councils, in a very undemocratic way, at the expense of ratepayers.

Ring the bell Is a bell necessary on a bicycle? Yes, it certainly is. On Sunday 13 September at about 6pm our beloved dog was badly injured by a careless, female, lycra-clad cyclist who ran over her. She didn’t stop, but jumped back on her bike and took off with her friend.

This happened on a walking track right behind my house. Luckily, my dog has survived after being treated by a vet but still has serious problems. My vet bills are costly but at least my beloved pet is still alive.

This walking track is for walkers, slow bike riding and citizens’ enjoyment, not bike hoons.

Cyclists, be considerate of other people as next time a collision could be with a young child or an elderly person. I hope the person who injured my dog reads this and learns a lesson from it.

Please, in future, slow down and use your bell or voice to warn if you are approaching.

Change supported In the decade we have lived on Brighton Cres, Mt Eliza, there have been two fatalities (that we are aware of). There have also been three near-fatalities caused by excessive speed (one of which very nearly became a triple fatality with one person airlifted to hospital in a critical condition and the other two also taken to hospital).

The near-fatalities all happened at the corner of Brighton Cres and Wooralla Drive.

As Greg Dixon uses Wooralla Drive every day, he would be aware of the unsafe high speeds drivers are travelling on this road, exceeding the clearly signposted 60km/h limit (“New roundabout a waste”, The Times, 5/10/15).

As parents of teenagers soon to be driving by themselves, we know we are not alone to be pleased that two roundabouts are being planned for Wooralla Drive.

They will force drivers to slow down and pay attention to the speed limit. How can this “increase the danger of this particular section of a key arterial connecting road”? Along with the planned footpath down to Emil Madsen Reserve (which will hopefully get the kids on bikes and skateboards off Wooralla Drive), the roundabouts are only going to slow traffic down and improve safety for other motorists, pedestrians and cyclists.

How can the prevention of further fatalities on this road be classified as “a mad obsession with destroying roads in the name of an imaginary black spot program”?

I hope Mr Dixon enjoys the two roundabouts on his Tower Rd – one can only imagine the speed vehicles would travel along the road if there was nothing to slow them down. Well done to Mornington Peninsula Shire in obtaining funding from the black spot program and keep up the safe planning to deliver the highest benefits of safety for the overall community of the peninsula and its many visitors.

Engine trouble delays ship’s departure THE vehicle carrier Hoegh Jeddah was again on the move mid-afternoon last Thursday after being anchored in the main shipping channel south of Rosebud since about 7am.

It is understood the pilot called a halt to the ship’s departure from Melbourne because of engine trouble.

Peter Harry from the Port of Melbourne Corporation said the shup had been anchored on the south side of the channel so as not to impede traffic. He said there had been no danger of it being grounded.

By mid-afternoon the Hoegh Jeddah was undergoing sea trials, accompanied by the tug Hastings, before being given the go ahead to leave Port Phillip.

The 58,000 tonne Norwegian-flagged ship was built in 2014.

The 200 metre long ship is one of several similar looking vessels regularly seen in Port Phillip.

In January, the Hoegh Osaka, one of the Hoegh Jeddah’s sister ships, was deliberately run aground in the Solent off the Isle of Wight after leaving the British port of Southampton.

The ship’s owners, Hoegh Autoliners, said the decision to ground the ship on a sandbank was made after it developed a list.

Chief executive Ingar Skiaker was quoted by the BBC at the time as saying there had been no leakage of oil or fuel and that the master and pilot had “executed their duties based on their best judgement and we're not second-guessing their actions right now”.

Mr Skiaker said the ship, built in 2000, was carrying 14000 cars (including Bentleys and Rolls Royces) had been “only one third full”.

Swarm dilemma raises questions on bee care Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au ROSEBUD myotherapist and Pilates teacher Claire Stidston could be forgiven for not knowing what to do when she discovered a swarm of bees had attached itself to her car.

Unsure who to call or how to remove the swarm without harming herself – or her little hitchhikers – Ms Stidston drove home to Main Ridge with 50 bees in hot pursuit.

“I felt terrible but I couldn’t think what to do about them,” she said.

“Long story short, overnight, they were run over and the whole hive got killed.

“Bees are so important to us and I don't think enough people know what to do if faced with a whole swarm.”

Beekeeper Simon Mulvany, founder of Save the Bees Australia, said swarms on the Mornington Peninsula were natural and “nothing to be concerned about”.

He said they occurred when a colony split, with 60 per cent of the hive staying with one queen while 40 per cent ventured off looking for new territory with the new queen.

“The bees on Claire’s car would have been resting while the scouts were out patrolling for a new hive site,” he said. “This is a natural part of the bees’ life cycle and may take three days.”

He received Ms Stidston’s call next day, but it was too late to help. “She felt dreadful,” he said.

Last week Mr Mulvany removed a “huge” swarm at Beleura Hill Preschool, Amelia Av, Mornington, to the great interest of the staff and pupils. He said the swarm had been set for extermination by the shire but was safely relocated to a friend’s rural property – one of 100 relocations Mr Mulvany did in the past year.

“Residents should contact a beekeeper immediately they see a ball,” he said.

His website savethebeesaustralia says that once the bee scouts find a suitable home in urban areas it is quite likely people will be af-

fected, so quick action is needed.

“Once inside the wall of a house the removal can be costly and take a lot of time or, in the worst case, bees will be exterminated.”

The site swarmpatrol.com is handy for notifying the closest beekeepers, who will arrange a visit to remove the hive for relocation.

The shire’s natural systems team leader Simon Thorning said bees (and wasps) in bushland reserves were only removed or relocated if they were a problem for workers doing bushland maintenance or management works, or for the safety of the public – usually only where people congregate.

“Generally, destruction [of the hive] will only occur where it is physically impossible to access the hive for removal or relocation,” he said.

Mr Mulvany said wisdom and long-term vision for the future of beekeeping were necessary at a time when the dreaded varroa mite was threatening. “Australia is the only continent with healthy bees not affected by the mite, which is the only parasite which kills its host,” he said, with experts confirming it is not a question of “if” but “when” the mite will arrive.

“If even one hive gets attacked the mites will spread quickly,” Mr Mulvany said. “That would put an end to commercial beekeeping for the next two years.”

Despite routine commercial beekeeping practices of moving hives all over the state for short periods – hives in their normal state would remain in the one place for years. This man-made intervention could also exacerbate the devastating effects of the varroa mite.

“It’s not natural for hives to be moved around.

Some remain in exposed conditions for years,” he said.

He quoted Albert Einstein to illustrate the bees’ importance: “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”

Moving house: Simon Mulvany removes a swarm of bees from Beleura Hill Preschool.

WHAT’S NEW

Mornington BMW partner for racing THE Mornington Racing Club and Mornington BMW, the Peninsula’s leading BMW dealership, are proud to announce they are uniting for a partnership as of 1 October 2015. The foundation of the partnership secures Mornington BMW with naming rights for the 2015 Mornington BMW Cup and its $300,000 Listed flagship race.

Along with 2015 Mornington BMW Cup Day designation rights, the partnership includes substantial on-course signage and branding presence, and also allows for on-course promotional activity, brand integration into content and entertainment opportunities.

Mornington BMW has been an ongoing partner of the Mornington Racing Club for many years, previously sponsoring the Mornington BMW Fashions on the Field competition and support races on Peninsula Cup Day. Manager of Mornington Racing Club, Angela Cleland, was extremely happy about the partnership.

“The Mornington Cup has been a major event on the Mornington Peninsula for 67 years which has been further cemented with the day becoming a standalone race day in Victoria during Autumn.

“Mornington showcases the finest in horseflesh; BMW, the finest in horsepower. The two complement each other perfectly, a match we know well from a long standing and successful partnership.

“We’re thrilled at partnering with Mornington BMW and look forward to working with their talented team to confirm the Mornington BMW Cup as an iconic event for the Mornington Peninsula.”

Mornington BMW General Manager, Aaron Cosstick, is equally delighted with the company’s confirmation of the Mornington BMW Cup. “Mornington BMW has had a long standing association with the sport of kings, and we are very excited to strengthen our relationship with the sport by solidifying our partnering with the Mornington Racing Club as naming rights partner of the Mornington BMW Cup.” “This sponsorship will cement Mornington BMW’s position as a premium automotive partner of racing on the peninsula,” Cosstick said.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Salvation Army lecture this week Compiled by Melissa Walsh PROFESSOR C. Mudd will hold services in connection with the Methodist Home Missions on Sunday, 24th inst. He will preach at Frankston in the morning, Langwarrin in the afternoon and Somerville in the evening. *** A bazaar in aid of the Church of England renovation fund will be opened in the Hastings Town Hall on Friday evening next at 7.30 o’clock, and will be continued on Saturday afternoon and evening. The local band will play selections during both evenings. We understand there will be a good display of useful and fancy articles on the various stalls, which will be offered to the public at reasonable rates. *** MRS Commissioner Hay, of the Salvation Army, will deliver her well known lecture, entitled “The Salvation Army among the troops in camp and abroad,” in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening next.

The chair will be occupied by Rev R. Jackson. Mrs Hay has the reputation of being a fluent speaker and the subject matter of the lecture should prove interesting. *** AS announced elsewhere in this issue the annual spring show of the Moorabbin Horticultural Society takes place on the 13th November at the Recreation Reserve, Cheltenham. The committee this year have made the entry fees very low and the prize money also, with the idea of raising £100 for

the benefit of the Australian sick and wounded soldiers’ fund.

The management informs us that arrangements are being made for exhibitors to denote on their entry forms any exhibits they are prepared to give to wards this fund. An auction sale will be held on the show grounds during the afternoon for the purpose of disposing of the goods. Further enquiries will be answered on application to the hon secs, Messrs R. L. Amess and T H Ould, at the show office, Cheltenham, from whom schedules, entry forms, and member’s tickets can be obtained. *** THE annual meeting of the Dromana Sports Club was held in the Dromana Hall on Saturday night last. The president of the club, Mr J. Matthews, occupied the chair. The secretary submitted the balance-sheet, duly audited, which showed the club to be in a good financial position, with a credit balance of £36 7s, and a membership of over 50.

The Boxing Day meeting passed off successfully, showing a profit to the club. The amount of stake money paid away amounted £33 10-, being the largest amount ever previously paid out by the club. The takings at the booth, which was conducted by the club. amounted to £18 12s 3d, which after deducting expenses showed a profit of slightly over £5.

The president stated that they had decided to recognise the services of their secretary. He had some extra work over the meeting in journeying to Mornington on the club’s business

in connection with the booth.

On the motion of J C. Dyson and A. Clydesdale, it was unanimously agreed to vote the secretary an honorarium of 6 guineas in recognition of his services. In returning thanks the secretary said he did not expect to be so liberally treated. It was pleasant to know that his efforts have passed off successfully. If re-elected and the club decided to run a patriotic race meeting in aid of returned, wounded Australians, he would accept no honorarium in carrying out the secretarial work of the club for such a deserving cause.

One of their brother committeemen and several members of the club were now on active service, fighting in the defence of their home land and the Empire, although far away some of them had been thoughtful and wrote enquiring about the club’s welfare. After discussion it was decided to hold a patriotic meeting in aid of returned, wounded Australians on a date to be fixed early in February in preference to Boxing Day *** VICTORIAN State School Children and War Relief Fund. Mr A. C. Witton, Accountant to the Victorian Education Department, and Hon Treasurer to the Departments Patriotic Fund reports £34,388 14s to date. The Australia Day effort alone brought in £4,604.

The latter amount has been specially set aside for wounded soldiers in the State.

A few particulars taken from the Education Gazette showing the amount contributed by scholars towards War

fund up to Aug 15th, 1915. The total amount collected to that date was £31,600 also 198,020 articles such as shirts, socks, handkerchiefs, mittens and balaclava caps were handed in for the use of our troops abroad.

Schools throughout this district are credited with the following amounts, —Frankston, £17 1s 9d; Mornington, £19 4s 2d; Chelsea, £27 12s 11d; Cranbourne £56 14s 2d; Hastings £13 12s 6d; Sorrento £32 2s 0d; Somerville £8 16d 11d; Seaford £3 1d 10d Red Hill £8 1s 6d; Mt Eliza £6 0 7d; Mornington Junct. £3 13s 4d; Langwarrin north £5 7s 9d; Carrum Downs £11 15s 11d; Dromana £7 13s; Moorooduc, £9 1s 6d; Rosebud £12 8s; Pearcedale £36 15s 10d; Tyabb £10 3s 7d; Flinders £15 15s 7d; Balnarring, £21 16s 5d; Crib Point, £7 5s.

For the past three weeks, an examiner from the Defence Department has been at work inspecting and stamping garments etc made by school girls, and lady teachers for our troops abroad, 42 cases containing hospital stores, shirts, socks, handkerchiefs, mittens and balaclava caps are now ready to go by the next available transport.

In all, 198,020 articles have been received at the Depot from the schools.

Of these 143,000 have been dispatched to Egypt. It is satisfactory to know that all this stuff has arrived safely and has been acknowledged gratefully.

Captain John Lang of Henley fame writes:— “A quantity of goods from School 1604 Malvern was received by my Department at the Al Hayat Convalescent Hospital, Helouan, Egypt

beautifully clean clothes for our Australian wounded. The workers would have been fully recompensed had they seen the contentment of the men.” *** THE farewell social and presentation to the local volunteers took place on Friday evening last, after having been postponed a number of times in order to have as many of the young men present as possible. The efforts of the committee were in vain, however, in this respect, as only one of six put in an appearance.

The names of the last batch were Messrs Laity, W. Lonsdale, E. Robinson, E. Stone, W. Hatch, and H. Russel. Each was presented with a handsome case of pipes, and although only Mr Hatch was present, relatives of the other young men took charge of their gifts, and will have same forwarded to their owners as soon as possible.

The hall was very nicely decorated for the occasion, and a fair number of residents were present. The musical part of the programme consisted of the following items :-Overture, Mr Kinwood (piano), Miss L Slocombe (violin); song, Miss Jessie Longmuir; song, Mr A Powell ; song, Private F E Tubbs; song, (Ragtime) Mr J Carmichael; song. Mr P V Kerr; song, Mr S Chalwell ;Latest patriotic records

by Mr H T Noble’s gramophone. The speakers during the evening were Messrs G G Cole, R Mair. H P Woodhouse, Cr Alden, and Mr MacLaurin.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Straight Outta Tyabb – The pink drink incident

By Stuart McCullough HOW could I possibly refuse? My brother went right to the point – was I interested in seeing ‘Straight Outta Compton’ with he, his wife and one of my nephews on Friday night? But of course I was. While my appearance may suggest otherwise, at heart I remain a gangsta rapper, ready to bring the rhyme in a microphone fight at nary a moment’s notice. Granted, there are very few gangsta rappers who would use a word like ‘nary’ but there’s no harm in trying. Unless, of course, the term ‘nary’ might result in a rap-feud in which case I will steer well clear of ‘nary’ and find a less controversial way of putting it.

Rap music is not everyone’s cup of tea. In fact, rap music is rarely associated with tea at all. While rap songs are known to reference a startling array of beverages, a soothing mug of Early Grey is never among them. I’d like to say that I understood rap music right from the outset, but that would be untrue. I really only began to appreciate it because my brothers did.

The lyrics were offensive but it was authentic and vital at a time when so much music seemed to be part of a five-year corporate plan and wore spandex. Yuck.

N.W.A.’s album ‘Straight Outta Compton’ begins with the following spoken-word declaration: ‘You are about to witness the strength of street knowledge’. It’s something Pink Floyd could never have said without everyone bursting into hysterics. It was a statement of intent on which the songs duly delivered. Granted, there

were contradictions. As someone in Tyabb, it was hard to reconcile the central conflict of gangsta rap – complaints of police harassment coupled with unfettered boasting as to lawlessness. What could not be denied,

however, was its underlying fury and passion. Now, twenty-five years later, it’s a movie.

As I readied myself to sit through a two-hour biopic about the birth of gangsta rap, I prepared a mix tape to

play in the Volkswagen – it’s a fair old drive to Fountain Gate. As I travelled, I could not help but rue the fact that whilst the car had a demister and air conditioning, it lacked the hydraulic suspension system so beloved by rappers that makes the vehicle bounce up and down. I then wondered if, given the size of the vehicle, I threw myself up and down with sufficient vigour, I could achieve much the same effect.

As I pulled into the rooftop car park at Fountain Gate shopping centre, I slowed, pulled the windows down and pushed the jams way, way up. The music was so loud that all the loose change I use for parking meters rattled. I could tell by the way shoppers shielded their children’s eyes and ears, people were impressed. As I turned to convey this indisputable fact to my sixteen-year-old nephew, I found that he had accidentally slipped down to the floor below the dashboard where no one could see him. Perhaps he was concerned about a possible drive-by.

Nevertheless, it seemed to be a matter of extraordinarily bad luck that this should occur just as my rap-driving skills were on display.

Once inside, we met up with my brother and sister in law. Like me, my brother is a repressed gangsta rapper. We greeted each other as we always do; with elaborate hip hop hand gestures before deciding to line up for food. Given that it was a Friday night, I was immediately anxious as to whether we might be able to secure a table. Granted, it’s hard to imagine Dr. Dre or Ice Cube ever worrying about such things, but that doesn’t detract from my broader commitment to

bringing the rhyme.

I ordered at the counter before being shown to my seat. My brother, however, was less successful. When asked whether he wanted a drink by a sixteen-year-old malcontent who had declared that she was supposed to be on a break just as my brother approached the counter, he felt pressured to compensate for this by ordering a drink he didn’t really want. It’s something of a family trait. For some reason, we feel compelled to make waiters and cashiers happy with our order.

It is possible, I think, to be too polite.

It’s this same tendency that once resulted in my circling the IKEA car park for hours until my wife eventually made me get out so she could take over. As my brother sat down, bottle of pink citrus blend mineral water called ‘Agrum’ by his side, we both knew exactly what had just happened.

Instantly, we both resolved to write a comprehensive ‘diss’ track that would teach both the cashier and the makers ‘Agrum’ a lesson.

There is no better version of history than the one you write yourself. That former members of the group were involved in producing the movie was evident. It was also a reminder of how fleeting moments of artistic triumph can be. N.W.A.’s debut album was a groundbreaking classic, but it was all down hill from there after Ice Cube departed. Presumably he was aggrieved when he found pink mineral water on the band’s rider. But some of the music remains potent and powerful and still makes me happy. Once a rapper, always a rapper.

AN AUDIENCE WITH HIS GRACE “An Audience With His Grace” opened at The Gaiety Theatre on Wednesday, and Brendan Grace received a standing ovation from a thrilled audience...His gags have a great hit rate and delight a capacity crowd. After 44 years in showbiz, Brendan Grace still knows how to send them home smiling.” - Eamon Sweenie, The Irish Independent, 25 March 2015 Born in the heart of Dublin in 1951, Grace was raised in the inner city Liberties neighbourhood.

His father Seamus worked as a bartender, an ambulance man and other odd jobs to keep the family going. However, like many Dubliners of the time, Grace eventually left school at the age of 15 to begin working. His first job was as a messenger boy, an occupation he often refers to in his live act.

At the age of 18, Grace formed a band known as “The Gingermen” and toured throughout Ireland. During a gig one night, the band found themselves two members short and in an attempt to calm an anxious crowd, Brendan was thrust upon the stage to humour them.

His wit and razor sharp observations of daily life in Ireland immediately won over the crowd and since then he has been selling out venues around the globe.

Brendan has shared stages with many well known names such as Frank Sinatra who referred to Grace as “His man in Europe” and John Denver, among many others.

In 1976, he penned the number one hit “Combine Harvester” which charted number one for both Grace and The Wurzels. The song was also later recorded by Foster & Allen.

In 1995, Grace starred in “Moondance” and the follwoing year he appeared in the “Father Ted” episode “New Jack City” as Father Fintan Stack.

In November 2009, he released his best-selling autobiography “Amuzing Grace” which received critical acclaim.

In 2007, he appeared as “Big Sean” in “Killinaskully” and in 2015 he starred in “The Gift”.

An Audience With His Grace features some brand new material and some “old favourites” from his vast repertoire over the past 40 years including the brilliant school boy character “Bottler”. He has managed to attract a younger audience due to the content of his show being very down to earth and helped also through his hilarious appearance in Father Ted, where he played the part of a drinking, smoking, trouble maker extraordinaire, Father Fintan Stack.

Join His Grace for an evening of high farce, mirth and music. An Audience With His Grace performs at Frankston Arts Centre on Friday 13 November 2015, 8pm. Bookings: (03) 9784 1060 or www.thefac.com.au

How to make boring chores fun

By Michelle McCullough I do my best to be a good role model for my children. I watch my language, I fake bravery when a spider enters my home uninvited and I’ve even stopped having chocolate for breakfast.

When it comes to doing chores i’m failing in the role model stakes.

The thing is, I hate chores. I hated them as a child, I hated them as a teenager, and I hate them even more now that I’m a wife and a mother. But I don’t want to pass this negativity onto my children; I want them to enjoy chores. Plus, I figure if i get in early and make chores fun, by the time they are teenagers I’ll have myself a couple of live-in maids (that’s how it works right?). So, in my quest to continue being a good role model I’ve come up with four ways to make chores are a little more fun for your little monsters.

1. Whoever said “many hands make light work” clearly hasn’t folded laundry with two toddlers.

However, you can use chores to nurture your little Einstein. For example, folding laundry is a great way to teach children to count, and to recognise different colours,

basket, but offering a small incentive could help ease the pain of choring. Rewards could include two books instead of one before bed, getting to choose what you have for dinner or even a star on a reward chart.

5. If there’s no way of escaping your chores then why not pretend to be someone else while you work. Kids have amazing imaginations so incorporating role play into life’s more boring tasks is a great way to combine work with play time.

6. Many moons ago when I was a little girl, my family and I would make car trips a bit more interesting by telling stories. Each person would contribute a line to the story and we would continue this until we got to our destination. This form of storytelling can be applied to any situation, including doing chores. Not only will it make the time go much faster, but it will also allow your creative juices to flow.

These tips might work for you (or they might create more work) but at the end of the day it’s all about attitude. If you’re genuinely having fun, those pesky chores will be done in no time. Good luck!

patterns and textures. Likewise, a trip to the supermarket can also be used to teach numbers, colours and different foods.

2. Every week the teacher at my playgroup puts on special “pack up” music when it’s time to tidy up all the toys. And every week 20-plus kids lose their minds trying to tidy everything away as quickly as they can while us parents stand around in awe. So crack out your boombox and see if it works for you!

3. Who doesn’t like a good oldfashioned competition? Especially when there’s a chance to one-up your sibling at something exciting like making your bed! Try introducing some friendly competition into your daily routine. If there’s only one child in the house get out the stopwatch and try to beat the fastest time.

4. Rewarding your children for cleaning up their rooms may seem a bit controversial to some but personally I don’t see the problem.

As adults we get paid to work so what’s the difference? I’m not suggesting you run out to your nearest toy shop each time little Barry puts his smelly socks in the washing

McEvoy dominates in season opener PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully LANGWARRIN’S highest ever run scorer, Simon McEvoy, turned back the clock on Saturday on the first day of the 2015-16 Provincial season, scoring an unbeaten 83 to guide his side to a shock win against Mornington.

The Kangaroos, under the guidance of new coach Travis Campbell and assistant Jake Prosser, who returned from Pines, headed to the kennel with an inexperienced team which featured debutants Aaron Edwards and Mitch Bromley.

It was a completely new-look team, without the likes of Danny Weare (retired), Michael Edwards (Tyabb), Andy Johnson (Carrum), Jake D’Atri (Carrum), Adrian Mack (rested), Mark Cooper (Warragul), Matt Davie

(Hawthorn-Monash) and Dwayne Doig (Cardinia) – all of whom were in Langwarrin’s best side last season.

The Kangas need experience and leadership this season and Simon McEvoy provided it in spades – with ‘Macca’ actions speak far louder than words.

His team bowled pretty well, led by teenager Andrew Smith, who pickedup 4/27, while Matty Prosser claimed 2/32.

The Dogs set the Kangas a total of 154 for victory. Matt Foon top scored with 45 and Brad McDonald hit 32.

In reply, McEvoy hit 13 fours in his unbeaten knock, while Matt Prosser scored 28 and Bromley 19. The Kangas got the runs with 11 balls to spare.

Kurt Nestor was the pick of the Dogs’ bowlers with 2/8 from three overs.

However, on Saturday in the season opener, the Lions were crushed.

Shaun Foster made 45 and Corey Foster hit 23 to be Carrum’s top scorers. Johnson failed with just seven.

The Lions were bowled out in the 37th over for just 136.

Former Pearcedale junior Shane Maggs returned to the Panthers from Casey and picked-up 4/20 from 6.4 overs.

In reply, Pearcedale made 6/181 from its 40 overs.

Brad Trotter opened with 53, Chris Dew hit 30 and Kaine Smith contributed 29.

In reply, Red Hill got the runs just two wickets down in the 19th over.

Seaford had a day out with the bat, scoring a massive 4/219 against Mt Martha before their bowlers got to work and skittled the opposition for just 90.

In reply, Wood then went to work with the bat for the Braves with 78, while Blake Hillman scored 44.

Seaford Tigers picked up the 12 points against Boneo, winning in the final over of the day.

Boneo batted first and scored 9/168.

Ryan Jellie top scored with 53 and Daniel Coathup hit 37.

Corey Hand and Ash Mills each took three wickets for the Tigers.

Tigers’ opening bat Anthony Joel then belted 14 fours and two sixes on his way to 94 to guide his side to victory.

Chris Jobling took three wickets for Boneo.

Main Ridge opened its season in fine fashion, getting the job done against Heatherhill.

The Hills batted first, making 6/186 with Jake Theobald top scoring with 67 and Kristian Miller opening with 48.
