Councils rates warning Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au COUNCILS across Victoria have been warned not to gouge ratepayers next financial year ahead of a state government edict aimed at capping rates rises at the consumer price index rate. Premier Daniel Andrews made a preelection pledge that councils would be forced to cap their rates at CPI to ensure “a fair go for ratepayers”. Now Labor has won government,
it has emerged its policy will not kick in until the 2016-17 financial year, potentially leaving the door open for some councils to ramp up rate rises in 2015-16 to offset the future limitations. Any council wishing to raise rates by more than the CPI will have to justify the rise to the independent Essential Services Commission. If the ESC rules a rate rise is “unreasonable” the state government can block it. The CPI rose by 3 per cent in 201314, according to Australian Bureau of
Statistics data. Frankston Council’s rates rose by an above inflation 5.9 per cent for the same period. Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins has written to councils to warn: “unnecessary rate rises in 201516 may affect your eligibility for future rate cap exemptions as previous years’ rate rises may form part of the ESC’s considerations of rate cap exemption applications”. “We want to see councils more accountable, more transparent and more responsible with how they spend

ratepayer funds,” Ms Hutchins told The Times. “Any increase above inflation needs to be justified and needs to provide a clear benefit to ratepayers. “This will come into effect 2016-17, however I want to be very clear that councils will not get away with jacking up rates this financial year.” The Municipal Association of Victoria has criticised the Andrews government’s “populist but destructive” policy. “Rate rise restrictions leave councils
with two main choices – reduce services relied on by communities or reduce capital spending to maintain assets,” MAV president Bill McArthur said. Late last year, some Frankston councillors expressed concern about Labor’s rates capping policy at a council meeting, saying services may have to be cut and residents would demand to know why. Council analysis has found capping rate rises could blow a $22 million hole in Frankston Council’s budget over five years.

Trains not stopping all stations Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au METRO Trains has denied trains skipping stations on the Frankston line is a regular occurrence. Melbourne’s rail operator was criticised last week after it was revealed an average of 15 trains skipped scheduled stops at stations in an apparent effort to meet punctuality quotas. A Metro spokeswoman said there were 19,127 scheduled train services on the Frankston line from October to December and just 60 were “altered to run express”. “Altering a service to run express is only used to assist when recovering from a major disruption, or to avoid a knock-on effect that will ultimately lead to a major delay,” the spokeswoman said. “When we alter a service, we ensure that our drivers and station staff are made aware of the changes to make announcements, and aim to express services running in the off-peak direction, impacting only the minority of customers.” Public transport reliability along the Frankston line is regarded as a pivotal concern for state election voters. Both parties have suffered the wrath of electorates along the train line at the past two state elections. Labor won back the seats of Frankston, Carrum, Mordialloc and Bentleigh from Liberal MPs last November, contributing to the Coalition government’s demise after one term in power. At the 2010 state election, the

Liberals won Labor seats along the Frankston line. Labor Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan blamed the previous Coalition government for trains skipping stations. “The previous Liberal Government built their punctuality figures off the back of station skipping and timetable manipulation,” she said. “The Andrews Labor government is awaiting detailed advice from Public Transport Victoria as to the
most effective way to reduce station skipping and deliver more services to the public.” Liberal opposition public transport spokesman David Hodgett said a previous Labor government “signed a contract with Metro to allow station skipping, now they blame everyone else.” He said Labor should stop making excuses and “fix it”. Metro advised it monitors “how often and which services are altered to
run express and resort to the practice as infrequently as possible... we are actively trying to reduce how often it occurs.” Metro told The Times that, on average, 20 out of 6365 train services on the Frankston line each month are switched to an express service. Ms Allan said: “Ultimately, we want trains stopping where they should stop, so the public can plan their journey with confidence.”
Hear Together support for deaf children HEAR Together Mornington Peninsula is a new support group for parents of children with a hearing impairment. The group is an initiative of the Frankston Toy Library. It welcomes the entire family, including the children and their siblings, to its informal and fun bimonthly meetings. “Having a child diagnosed with a hearing loss can be a difficult experience for many parents,” founder Sandi Walters said. “When my daughter was diagnosed I felt like the only parent on the planet dealing with such issues, and my daughter felt like the only child on the planet with hearing aids.” Ms Walters started the group to ensure that no other families in the area felt the same isolation. “Everyone is welcome - from those worried about grommets to those with hearing aids and cochlear implants,” she said. Meetings are held at the Frankston Toy Library – of which Ms Walters in president - which also has Victoria’s largest collection of resources. These can be borrowed for children with a range of special needs, including deafness, blindness, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and autism. A new Auslan playgroup has been launched as part of the Hear Together program for parents wanting to learn and practise sign language.

Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au MORE than two years after opening on 17 January 2013, Peninsula Link freeway will get directional and tourism signs that were omitted from the original brief for the $760 million road. The signs come courtesy of intense lobbying by federal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson and peninsula tourism officials. At least $175,000 of the cost will come from a federal Coalition government grant organised by Mr Billson in what some people will see as an unfair cost burden. Peninsula motorists were surprised and disappointed at the lack of directional signs when the freeway opened in 2013. Strangers to the peninsula using the freeway were even more disappointed when they ended up lost or on the wrong road. There were no signs on the fourlane road showing traffic where to exit to reach Baxter, Hastings and the Western Port side of the peninsula. Signs showing drivers how to get to Mt Martha were also omitted. Few tourism signs were erected. In August 2013, Mr Billson said the Coalition government would contribute $175,000 to “refresh and update the ‘Tour Peninsula’ tourist directional signage and to correct location signage errors such as omitting the Baxter township”. He said he wanted to finish what he started in getting the freeway constructed by “getting location
Signing on: Peninsula Link and connecting roads will finally get directional and tourism signs not included in the original project. Picture: Gary Sissons
and tourist directional signs updated to make people more aware of destinations off and along the new freeway”. Last Friday he said there had been “unacceptable delays” in getting the signs installed. “This has been an exasperating experience,” he said. The MP said “30 plus signs” would be installed on the freeway as well as on EastLink tollway, FrankstonFlinders Rd, Moorooduc Highway, and Peninsula Link “feeder” roads. He said a meeting of freeway builder Southern Way, Linking Melbourne Authority, VicRoads and Mornington Peninsula Shire last week had signed
off on all but two of the signs. Mr Billson said he was told signs had not been installed during freeway construction because they were not included in the original contract between the state government and Southern Way. The contract will have to be altered to reflect the installation of the signs. Quotes for the work would be sought in early February and work would likely be completed mid-year, Mr Billson said. Baxter signs would be a priority. The $175,000 would be given in stages to the shire as the coordinating authority. In 2013, Mr Billson blamed the state
Labor government for not including a comprehensive signs plan when it signed off on the private-public partnership with freeway building consortium Southern Way, which was managed by Linking Melbourne Authority. Also in that year Western Port Tourism said signs to Western Port towns should be installed at FrankstonFlinders, Bungower and MorningtonTyabb roads. WPT also called for so-called “hero destination” signs that display large photos of tourism attractions on Western Port.

Hammer time: Mornington Peninsula Avicultural Society member Graham Harbert helped build a new birdhouse at Carrum Primary School. Picture: Gary Sissons
New birdhouse takes flight BIRDS living at Carrum Primary School have a new home for the new year after Mornington Peninsula Avicultural Society volunteers and parents devoted time to building a new birdhouse in the school grounds. Society life member Graham Harbert said volunteers rebuilt and stocked Carrum Primary’s bird aviary which had been used by the school for more than 40 years.
The new birdhouse was completed last weekend. “We’re also planning to go to the school and give some talks about looking after birds,” Mr Harbert said. Princess parrots, scarlet crested parrots, Australian grass finches and a long-term Indian ring-necked parakeet resident will be just some of the birds to be housed in the new birdhouse. The Mornington Peninsula Avicul-
tural Society was established in 1983 to offer a means of bringing together like minded people who enjoy the hobby of aviculture. The society has undertaken similar projects at Red Hill Consolidated School and Red Hill’s Focus Assisted Living care home.

Uber’s arrival challenges taxi operators Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au CONTROVERSIAL ride-sharing business Uber launched its service across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula late last month despite operating illegally in Victoria. Uber’s online system allows travellers to request a car ride via its mobile phone app to any destination covered by the company’s business. The US based firm, estimated to be worth at least $40 billion by market analysts, recruits drivers who use their own vehicles to ferry passengers. Payment for a trip is made online meaning no cash changes hands. Uber takes a commission on all journeys and pays the remainder of the fare to its drivers. Uber’s service is a threat to the taxi industry’s business model and is deemed illegal by Victorian regulators. Drivers risk a fine of up to $1700 if caught by transport inspectors representing Uber. The company is backed by major corporations including Google and investment bank Goldman Sachs and is reportedly paying drivers’ fines. Despite its unregulated status, Uber has opened offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Uber announced last month that Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula have been added to the 250plus cities around the world where the ride-sharing service is available. Online advertising over the Christmas and New Year break spruiked Uber being “everywhere this summer… all the way to Sorrento and Portsea”.
Driving for business: Uber has launched its ride-sharing service in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula to compete with taxi operators despite being unregulated in Victoria. Picture source: Instagram
A fleet of six minis offered free Uber rides to passengers over the Christmas and New Year break to encourage people to try out the service. Uber claims it is trying to work with authorities to effectively legalise its business in Australia. Uber spokesman Mike Abbott told the ABC’s 7.30 program last week: “We are calling for them [regulators] to remove the ambiguity and to put in place sensible safety-based legislation for ride-sharing which is pro-consumer and is not about protecting incumbents from competition”.
The company’s driver vetting policy has come under scrutiny after an Uber driver was arrested for an alleged assault on a 19-year-old passenger on New Year’s Day in Melbourne. Uber did not reply to questions about its Frankston and Mornington Peninsula service before publication. In November last year Uber senior vice president of business Emil Michael said the company would “dig up dirt” on journalists who criticised Uber. CEO Travis Kalanick apologised for the remark made at a dinner party.
Frankston Taxis general manager Kevin Dunn noted the state government is investigating ways for Uber to conform to industry-standard regulations. “In this day and age you expect competition but the competition needs to be on a level playing field and currently with Uber it’s not,” he said. The Frankston taxi company has recently released an iPhone app so customers can book taxi trips online. An Android smartphone version will be available soon.

Etta James Story comes alive BETTER be quick. At Last: The Etta James Story is returning to the Frankston Arts Centre stage on 27 March – but for one night only.

Starring Vika Bull, the show has garnered standing ovations and rave reviews throughout its Australian tour. In her first solo headline show, Bull showcases the depth and range of her soulful, gutsy voice, as she belts out the repertoire of one of the world’s most powerful female singers. Backed by the eight-piece The Essential R & B Band, Bull sings Etta James’ songs with raw emotion, punctuated by an intimate telling of Etta’s tumultuous life.

performances of songs including Tell Mama, Something’s Got A Hold On Me, Pushover, I’d Rather Go Blind and signature song At Last. James has been recognised as bridging the gap between rhythm & blues, rock & roll and pop. During a long and tumultuous career in which she won six Grammy Awards, and became a star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame, she has influenced artists including Diana Ross, Janis Joplin and Stevie Wonder to The Rolling Stones and Rod Stewart. She is acknowledged as inspiring the careers of a new generation of singers including Christina Aguilera, Joss Stone, Adele and the late Amy Winehouse.

‘Secret’ sex shakes yoga school Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au ALLEGATIONS of sexual impropriety have shaken the usual calm surrounding the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga at Mt Eliza. American-born ashram director Swami Shankarananda, also known as Swamiji (formerly known as Russell Kruckman), is alleged to have had sexual relations with more than 40 women attending the ashram. Free confidential counselling is being offered to “anyone who needs assistance” while a sub-committee has been appointed to write a code of conduct for everyone working for the ashram, including Swami Shankarananda. “It breaks my heart that our beautiful Satsang [gathering for the truth] has been shaken and split by anger and confusion,” the 72-year-old swami wrote in a letter seeking forgiveness from ashram members. The management committee of the residential ashram in Tower Rd said Swami Shankarananda – although never claiming to be “a sexual renunciant” or demanding celibacy from any of his students – had admitted it was inappropriate to keep “aspects of the teaching and his personal activities secret”. The committee has allowed him to remain as the ashram’s spiritual director. Although it had received legal advice to the effect that no criminal laws had been broken, the committee said Swami Shankarananda’s “activities … raise a number of potential ethical issues” and had started an “internal processes to address any grievances … and the per-
ceived risk of any future misconduct”. “I can say that this is an internal matter and we have not been contacted by the police,” said Stephen Stanford, a member of the Shiva Yoga management committee. Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga was established in 1991 and soon after moved into the residential ashram in Mt Eliza. The ashram has about 500 regular attendees, including 20 who live on-site. In his letter, Swami Shankarananda apologises “to the community and to anyone who has been hurt by my actions, or even by hearing of my actions”. In an apparent reference to his book Carrot In My Ear (“a guidebook to the inner experience, offering insights and techniques to dissolve ignorance and live with energy and awareness”), his letter states: “I had a carrot in my ear. Truly. When contemplating Baba’s life, I was most engaged by the dramas of the succession. I profoundly underestimated the impact of his tantric sexual activities. And my own. I recognise at last their disastrous effect. I vow to stop this behaviour. Indeed, it has been stopped already.” Swami Shankarananda said he wanted to make amends “in an atmosphere of love and generosity of spirit, not vilification on either side”. “I know people are disappointed and upset. I apologise to them and ask their forgiveness.” He said there had been a lot of good done at the ashram in the past 20 years and his “tantric activities have been the only blemish”. “As I have said, I have stopped them. When peace returns, perhaps I will

speak and write about what is to be learned. “I am open to a dialogue about the role of the guru and sannyasa in the modern west and also the place of sexuality in spiritual life – and other matters. We are pioneers, after all, and getting it all right isn’t easy. “I don’t know how I could have been this stupid … but I was. I beg your forgiveness.” News of the swami’s conduct has been discussed on social media, with one commentator on Guruphiliac’s Facebook page labelling the Shiva School’s response “outrageous … we have spoken to some of the women involved and heard their heartbreaking personal accounts in detail, and we see nothing in his actions that could in any way be called tantric or yogic, healing or spiritual”. The page said Swami Shankarananda was involved in advising devotees about many aspects of their lives, including personal relationships, “when to get a new job or leave one, where to live”. “For ashramites, this goes further, with some having to ask permission to even leave the premises for a few hours.” The statement issued by the ashram’s management committee said “many people are hurt, angry and confused”. “The committee is taking this situation very seriously and is dedicated to resolving the issue with honesty, transparency and compassion. “Swamiji has asked us on his behalf to reiterate his message for the year of holding the feeling – that is, stay away from enmity, and keep returning to love.”

Successful retailer supported OBITUARY Dulcie June Richards (nee Christie) 26 June 1923 – 8 Jan 2015 WAAAF member, retailer, community worker DULCIE Richards, one of Frankston’s most prominent citizens for more than 50 years, has died at age 91 of lymphatic cancer of the lungs, a rare condition she fought bravely for more than 12 months. Mrs Richards was perhaps best known as co-owner and operator with her husband Alan of the Bounty Shop, one of the region’s leading clothing retailers. Others would know her from many years of volunteering for and supporting charities and not-for-profit groups, as a foundation member of the Peninsula Ex-Service Women’s RSL, or as mother of Frankston City’s 2010 mayor and councillor Christine Richards. Dulcie Richards was the third youngest of nine children of Ada and Arthur Christie of Wangaratta. Her father was manager of linesmen with the PostmastersGeneral’s Department, forerunner of Australia Post and Telstra. The family survived the lean Depression years by growing vegetables, and keeping cows and poultry. The Christies lived near the railway station, and hungry strangers often arrived at their front door asking for food. No one was ever turned away.
At age 18 Dulcie joined the WAAAF, the Women’s Auxiliary Australian Air Force, and was trained as a morse code operator, based in Deniliquin just over the border in NSW. Their work was secret but Dulcie later revealed to her family some of the key moments in the war involving the Deni code women such as passing on reports of enemy submarines marauding off the coast, and the infamous breakout at Cowra prisoner of war camp in August 1944 when more than 1000 Japanese prisoners attempted to escape, and four Australians and 231 Japanese were killed. At Mrs Richards’s service at High Street Uniting Church in Frankston last Thursday, her daughter Christine told more than 300 mourners that Dulcie’s age group was perhaps hardest hit by the war years. “Although she didn’t leave Australia, she was greatly affected. Her first serious boyfriend, an RAAF pilot, was killed in Africa. Only two of her male classmates came home after the war. She had to grow up quickly,” she said. “Yet she and the other young women with whom she lived were surprisingly naive. After their evening shifts in winter they returned to a galvanised iron hut in freezing Deniliquin. To warm-up she and her friends would all jump in a hot bath together. “So when Dulcie’s commanding officer ordered one of her friends, Private Tomlinson, in to her office,
the conversation went something like this: How are you, Tomlinson – enjoying service life? Yes, Madam. Any problems in your hut, Tomlinson? No, Madam. Tomlinson – are you and those girls lesbians? Well I don’t know about the other girls, Madam, but I’m a Methodist. “Mum and her friends were experienced enough to fight for their country, but too inexperienced to even know what a lesbian was.” Daughter Penny Richards said her mother “was genuinely interested in anyone she met – wanted to know how all their family was, and how they were going, and what amazed me is that she remembered so much about everyone’s lives”. Penny said her mum had coped with recent ill-health “with grace and dignity; she overcame many of the hurdles. Even right up to the end, her mischievous sense of humour and gorgeous smile would make you feel better despite her feeling very weak, tired and breathless”. Christine said: “So what makes a woman so fiercely loving and loyal; energetic and enthusiastic about everyone and everything? Perhaps it was her big family – she came from a close-knit family of nine children. Perhaps it was her life experiences. She lived through a depression and a world war. And wouldn’t war be a leveller in anyone’s life?”
Brent Clyne of Frankston RSL said Dulcie Richards joined the WAAAF in 1941 and was discharged in August 1945. After he spoke, the Last Post was played. Mrs Richards was one of 14 women who formed the first RSL sub-branch of ex-servicewomen in Victoria more than 20 years ago with support of the RSL. Members of the branch are now aged between 88 and 95. After the war, Dulcie returned to her family in Wangaratta, working first with a life insurance company, then as chief administrator setting up a new radio station, 3NE. There she met her future husband, Alan Richards, who had been sent to Wangaratta to manage Snow’s menswear store. The couple married in 1957, moved to Frankston and opened the Bounty Shop, Alan “front of house” and Dulcie behind the scenes doing the books. The shop employed 50 people at its peak, and the Richards started a scheme so employees could become co-owners of the business. “Two of the three present owners came through the scheme, Mark Rothwell and Jen Hillas. Together with Scott Hillas, the Bounty Shop still trades with the guiding principle of great service,” Christine Richards said. Dulcie retired from the Bounty Shop in 1983 and turned her attention to charities. She gave time and money to more than 25 charities every year. She led

a program to provide needy families with hot food, was secretary of Peninsula Ex-Service Women’s RSL, and joined the Mornington Peninsula branch of Soroptimist International, a group that works for the advancement of women worldwide. Dulcie and Alan co-owned racehorses and with trainer Gary Carson won many Group 1 races including the Caulfield Cup, George Adams and two Grand Nationals. The team also won two Mornington Cups. Dulcie loved the spring racing carnival and the Melbourne Cup in particular, travelling to Flemington with friends each November for many years, even after Alan died in 2003 aged 76. “When she was discharged from hospital into care for cup week in 2013, she put in $240 worth of calls on her mobile phone just to place $2 and $5 bets,” Christine said. “My mother’s credo was be generous to those less fortunate; love Frankston with a passion; live life to the fullest; and approach the world energetically, enthusiastically – and always with a smile.” Mike Hast
All smiles: Dulchie Richards, right, was genuinely interested in anyone she met and was a tireless community contributor throughout her life.

Tennis makes a welcome return
Pole position: Jeep Grand Cherokee driver caused carnage in Seaford.
Call for crash witnesses FRANKSTON Highway Patrol members are appealing for witnesses following a crash in Seaford in November. It’s believed that at about 5.30pm on Friday 9 January a white Jeep Grand Cherokee was travelling north on Wells Rd. About 50 metres south of the pedestrian crossing at Kannanook station, it is believed the Jeep mounted the gutter and travelled about 20 metres along the footpath before crashing into a power pole. Police wish to speak to anyone who
saw the crash or the vehicle in the area earlier. “The impact of the crash literally uprooted the pole from the ground,” First Constable Tim Bail said. “We are lucky we weren’t being called to the scene of a fatality. “We’d really encourage anyone who has any information relating to the car and crash to contact us.” Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au
TENNIS came back to a rejuvenated Long Island Tennis Club on Sunday 11 January. President Tricia Miller said a large crowd of local players and others from surrounding areas attended the official relaunch to enjoy the action and take part in fun activities. Entertainment included an exhibition match by two young up-and-coming players pursuing professional careers. Children enjoyed face painting and the opportunity to have a hit of tennis and a laugh with other children. Visitors praised the transformation of the old clubhouse which, thanks to a huge community effort in which many trades and supplies were donated, has been given a new roof and pergola, new paintwork, airconditioning and security lighting. The four en-tout-cas courts have been refurbished with lines resealed and nets repaired and windbreaks installed. Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer cut the ribbon to officially re-launch the club. She mingled with visitors and was introduced to the club’s proposed Beach Tennis program. It’s hoped beach tennis will attract players of all ages wishing to enjoy an alternative to the court game. The fast paced and competitive volleying sport is registered with the International Tennis Federation. “I wish the club all the best in their endeavours to introduce beach tennis as part of the club’s activities,” Cr Mayer said. The club is succeeding in boosting its membership and providing members with a variety of social events and tennis coaching. New members are welcome as playing or social members. For information on membership or coaching call coach Craig Miller 0418 411 833.

Aunty’s travels puts junior readers in the frame Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au ROWENA Wiseman is immersed in art. As publications editor for Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery she is surrounded by and closely involved in exhibitions. Her fascination and affinity with art has now led her to delve into the mysteries that might lie behind and beyond the framed pieces. In a series of ebooks Wiseman takes junior readers behind the canvas. Literally jumping into the picture with Frieda and her Aunty Arty. The unfolding adventure illustrated by Narelda Joy introduces youngsters to the world of art occupied by such artists as Georgio de Chirico, Yue Minjun and Paula Rego. In the first of six ebooks slated for publication Aunty Arty takes Frieda and her sister Mona into Georgio de Chirico's painting The Disquieting Muses. The trio set out to save their new friend Fibula from Cupid’s lead arrow while the statue of Venus suffers from lovesickness. The acceptance of Wiseman’s series by Melbourne children’s ebook publisher Jet Black Publishing comes after a decade of creative disappointment. Wiseman, who lives in Mt Eliza, admits to “receiving a lot of rejection slips” from her attempts to find a publisher for her adult and young adult fiction manuscripts. But the digital age is changing the face of publishing. Some of her pieces were published free online and the

author believes the feedback from her growing audience became “part of the journey as regards characters”. “Going digital becomes part of the journey. I enjoy people reading and commenting,” Wiseman says. “I love this new age of digital reading. Someone in Mexico wants to translate my works into Spanish – we’re talking [online] about it.” Writing on her blog led her to a Twitter reference to Jet Black Publish-
ing and she made her pitch. Although the children’s books had not been online they obviously hit a chord with Jet Black’s owner Kim Mungcal. An ereader user, Wiseman also “loves the feel of a paper book”. The reality, she says, is that digital publishing of an illustrated book in colour is far cheaper than a print version. “The illustrations in Aunty Arty
BACK TO SCHOOL SHOE SPECIALS
are full colour when. Books for eight to eleven year olds usually just have black and white line drawings. Because these are ebooks and we aren't restricted by printing costs, we've been able to make full use of colour - which has been really important as they're all about art and the backdrop is adapted from a famous artwork.” Wiseman says Aunty Arty came from her desire to read about something other than fairies and goblins to
her then six-year-old daughter. “I wanted something more sophisticated to be available for keen readers like my daughter. “‘When I look at a painting I often wonder about the story in the artwork? Often we don’t know. I thought it would be interesting to make up what would happen if we could meet the characters in a work of art.” She recognises difficulties may arise in explaining the meaning of the title of Chirico's The Disquieting Muses, but says “that’s the artwork’s title and I didn’t want to dumb it down too much”. Publisher Mungcal says the book is “full of wholesome fun and adventures … a Mary Poppins-tale for the modern day”. Twenty per cent of sale profits will go to the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation (ALNF). Illustrator Narelda Joy: “I start each series of illustrations by exploring the colours and textures of the painting that they enter. This gives me a feel for the environment and I dream up the other illustrations from there. “It’s important to be sensitive to the original artwork, while creating the rest of the world within that painting that the characters explore. “We’ve been able to create something far more interesting for children than what we would have been able to do with a printed book.” Aunty Arty and the Disquieting Muses, by Rowena Wiseman, illustrated by Narelda Joy:www.jetblackpublishing.com/shop A short film about creating Aunty Arty: www.youtube.com/user/AuntyArty

YAMMINGA is one of those rare pleasures that takes an “If only” and turns it into an “I want”. No expense has been spared in creating this stunning riviera inspired property that offers a lifestyle of absolute comfort and ease. The enchanting French-influenced gardens afford a sparkling bay view and creature comforts that adorn the 1609-square metre block include an in-ground, solar heated pool with spa as the centrepiece to a beautiful stone-flanked paved palazzo. Red wrought iron gates guard the front of the
property and once through, a gently curved driveway leads past manicured hedges and tall conifers to a double garage under the roof line. The garage has loft storage and a handy addition is the lift that takes you up to the kitchen level. The well-appointed kitchen has every convenience with an abundance of storage, a large island bench, a massive recessed space for a double door refrigerator, two wall-ovens and a walk-in pantry. A pleasant casual meals area has a wonderful view of the pool, as does a cosy
sitting area. The grand formal lounge and dining areas feature rich polished timber floors and from here you can access one of three viewing decks. The south-east wing includes one bedroom – which opens out to a second deck, another quiet sitting area, private study and a powder room with shower, making this zone quite suitable for guest quarters. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share another bathroom and the larger main bedroom has a wall of built-in robes, and a walk-in robe leads through to an ensuite.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Emu Plains race a smashing success Compiled by Melissa Walsh WE were pleased to see that Mr C. McKenzie’s Almond Bush was successful in winning the Novelty Pony Race at Emu Plains on Tuesday last in a field of eight starters. He started favorite and won a good race by a neck. *** MISS H. Ridley notifies that she will be in Somerville on Saturday, 6th February, and will be pleased to interview friends and intending pupils for instruction in singing and piano. *** IN a letter received this week from Mr. Jim Cuthbert we learn he is leaving England for the Front on 8th Dec with the Army Veterinary Corps. He also has three brothers and two sisters on active service. The two latter being nurses, one in Belgium and the other in London. *** MUSIC lovers have a treat in store in the “We Four” Concert on Monday, 1st February. This phenomenal blend of human voices will be remembered for their great concert in aid of the Fire Brigade last summer, and a crowded house should be the result of their efforts next week. Their selections will contain old and new numbers varying from ragtime to grand opera. The Quartet have just concluded their Melbourne season with the Yestelle Company. *** THE result of the Annual competitive examinations held in December for the “junior,” “teaching” and “junior technical” scholarships offered by the
Education Department has now been made available and we are pleased to see that Reginald A. Coxall, son of Mr Coxall, of Frankston, has been successful in gaining a “junior” scholarship under clause 1 of regulation 21 with 684 marks out of a possible 1000, being eleventh on the list on the Registered Primary Schools. *** THE following professionals from Melbourne are supporting “ We Four” in the programme of February 1st. Miss Noel Geddes, who was such a success at last season’s Taits Auditorium concerts, Miss Daisy Gove who has just returned from England where she has been touring in vaudeville, and Syd. C. Stewart the well known comedian. *** THE funeral of Mr Jas Jesson of Frankston Road, took place on Tuesday, and was of a private nature, only relatives and a few friends attending. The deceased was amongst the earliest pioneers of the district, born in Leicester England on March 20th, 1828, and was in his 87th year at the time of his death. He arrived in Melbourne in 1856, and started farming pursuits in this district in 1865, retiring some 20 years ago and lived at Frankston Road up to the time of his death. He leaves one son, Mr J.H. Jesson, well-known in Dandenong, now residing at Oakleigh, and a number of grandchildren to mourn their loss. Death took place on the 18th inst. Brother. R. Kelly, P.C.R. Court, Dandenong, A.O.F, read the Forrester’s service at deceased’s
late residence; he was a member of the above lodge for over half a century. *** A youth named Reginald Hutchinson, of 22 Isabella Street, Malvern, was drowned in the sea at Chelsea on Wednesday last. Deceased could not swim. At about 1pm, he and a companion, who also was unable to swim, went bathing in the open sea. Hutchinson ventured into deeper water than his companion, and presently he was swept out of sight by a large wave. When he appeared on the surface again he shouted for assistance, and the call was taken up by his companion, who soon attracted the attention of other bathers. The searchers after a short search recovered the body of the youth. It was then apparently lifeless, but prompt and energetic efforts were made to restore animation. The operations were perseveringly sustained as long as there remained the smallest hope of success, but all these endeavours proved futile. Eventually the body was removed to the morgue by Constable McDonald. Deceased was 18 years of age. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason held their second by-weekly produce sale at Frankston on Wednesday last, when the market was well supplied with vegetables. Potatoes brought a good price. A very fine sample of tomatoes, locally grown, was quickly snapped up at a good price. A number of cases of apples were disposed of at market rates. A few crates of poultry also changed hands.
*** EMU Plains And Bittern Races: A very successful meeting, in adverse circumstances, was held at Bittern on Tuesday. In the fore-part of the afternoon it blew clouds of dust, and from 3 o’clock the racing was continued throughout a steady downpour of rain. The entries (104) proved a record, and the takings at the gates amounted to £65. The club expects to net a profit of about £30. When the horses in the Open Handicap Hack Race were making their preliminary gallops in the straight, Merry Foe, ridden by young Crook, reared and fell back on his rider, who was apparently seriously hurt. The lad however, recovered sufficiently to be able to walk about before the meeting closed. An inquiry was held into the riding of Julia B in this race, the president giving his verdict that there were ‘two rotten’ circumstances in the race, and he gave the benefit of the doubt to the rider as to which was the worse. *** THE cricket match between Somerville and Naval Base resulted in another win for Somerville. Naval Base batted at first and thanks to some vigorous hitting by Dorey, who made 47, the total of 79 was reached. Chas Thornell was in great fettle, obtaining 1 wicket for 25 runs, while he also caught the tenth man off Percy Thornell’s bowling. Fred Murrey had a day off with the ball, but made up for it with a well made 52 before he retired. S S Gault kept up his form with 70 retired. W. Hutchison made
more prone to anger on the presupposition that wealthier people tend to have more expectations. Rich people tend to believe that their money will insulate them from disappointments which is simply untrue. Poorer people have a certain advantage in avoiding anger due to a tendency to expect less out of the world. A practical approach that Seneca gave to avoiding anger was to prepare yourself mentally for disappointment. He believed advice like, “don’t worry, it will be fine,” was cruel because it leaves people unprepared if things turn out not to be okay. He recommended a daily meditation on all of the things that might go wrong. It might seem like preposterous advice, but imagine how much more enjoyable life might be for all of us if we left our house in the morning not really expecting too much. It leaves us in a position to be pleasantly surprised and grateful when things do go smoothly. Seneca is not saying to never expect things to go well, but rather just to be psychologically prepared for a day when they don’t. *** No surprises with Treasurer Joe Hockey’s backdown on “getting tough” on multinational companies who shift profits to international subsidiaries to avoid tax. The surprise was when he promised to take action
in the first place. To be compared with Matthew Guy’s sprout about Lindsay Fox”s 45 metres at Point King Beach, Portsea. We have sympathy for Joe. A lot of this budget deficit is due to circumstances beyond his control and the sad man can’t even blame Labor. Then one remembers how ruthless he was in his attack mode. Hey Joe-an increase in the GST and a tax on compulory superannuation contributions would give you another 30 billion a year? *** A number of older people have a strong sense of regret about their lives coupled with a singular respect for their actions. Many join the chase (respect) and become hypocrites. They want other people to conduct themselves in a certain way (actions & thinking) yet do not conduct themselves any differently. Can we behave the way we expect others to behave? No-it’s all wankerville. The better class of ratbags are clearly in evidence at football matches, phone boxes, new bus stops and the Mornington Peninsula after 11pm. That’s why I watch football on television. I’m the only ratbag in the room. I have enemy mongrels in every football team except those boys in the black and white stripes. Wankers abound in all walks of life. Try an opening of an art gallery. Try my front door.
*** Summertime, and the livin’ is easy; Ella Fitzgerald. With politics in general as it sits now let us hope Anne Murray’s Danny’s Song, particularly the lines “Even though we ain’t got money, I’m so in love with you honey” remains in the forefront; for married couples anyway. God help the singles living alone paying rent; worse if they like a cigarette. Whatever, you can rest assured the “I’m allright Jack” crowd will sail into the Sydney Harbour sunset, avoiding Martin Place, oblivious. *** Full marks to the Gaming Industry re “Childcare Available” idea. Always thinking of the hearts and minds of our young kiddies. Then we have United Energy, the gaffer tape specialists “Shape our energy fuel together, visit our website and have your say”, IF you have power. As for the 13000 community police keeping me safe, unobtrusively, I’ve been doing the long walks to and from the RSL for years, and yet to spot a policeperson? *** Disgusting but unsurprising. Commissioner Dryson Heyden heading the Royal Kangaroo Commission into unions. Nasty cracks at Julia Gillard’s evidence despite any evidence against her and not a murmur on Lib-
53 retired, G. Grant 20, and C. Thornell 52 retired, also batted very well. The Somerville total was 232, five of the wickets having fallen. Allen was the most dangerous bowler. The Base were at a disadvantage, owing to several of their men having gone to town. *** A MOST successful concert was held on Saturday evening, January 16th, at the Mechanics’ Hall, Somerville, by Concert band. Every item given was encored by a crowded audience, the concert being under the auspices of the Somerville Social Club. Miss Mabel Doron, the brilliant composer and pianist, acted as accompanist and proved an acquisition in her work. With Miss Kelly she opened the concert with a piano duet, after which Miss Mary Kelly sang ‘My Hero,’ which suited her dramatic soprano voice and was enthusiastically encored. Messrs Geo Coirley and Arthur Shaw gave a duet, ‘Belle Eve.’ This stirring duet was well sung and met with a hearty reception and encore. *** THE breaking of the drought, and the consequent improvement of pastures in districts where formerly no feed was obtainable, has already had a noticeable effect upon railway business, particularly in the department concerned with the transport of live stock which is now being returned to the district. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 23 January, 1915.
A Grain of Salt Its that time of the year where we have these holiday makers, zombies on the beach, each swim exiting another pee into Port Phillip Bay, in desperation for something to do other than coffee, ice creams, pizzas. Pick up a copy of the Mornington News Group newspaper to check out the real estate. This is the issue where the local newspapers have all gone after two days. Some may be so desperate they get to the back of this newspaper to read this column. For this writer I can simply ramble on, moreso than usual. Throw in a couple of quick comments, more or less take a fortnight off. Welcome. Hope the weather is good for you. Take your rubbish with you. *** From Seneca, Roman philosopher: We are like dogs leashed to the back of a moving chariot. Our leashes are long enough to give us some freedom and maneuverability, but not long enough to allow us to move wherever we want. We are still on a leash and anchored to the chariot of life. Far better to follow along in a direction that you don’t want to go rather than to kick against something that you cannot change. Being able to identify what we can and cannot change is a really important ability that can be a key to our freedom and happiness. Beware, prosperous people are
By Cliff Ellen eral hero Cathy Jackson’s evidence despite mounting evidence to the contrary. Right wing puppets? *** Big Brother Scott Morrisson, the sensitive Christian who not only convinced the majority of Australians the boat people escaping persecution, homelessness and hunger were illegal, allowing the horror of Manus Island and Nauru, but in fact checkmating the gutless Labor opposition, as the new Minister for Social Services. Centrelink to be renamed Gestapo Headquarters? *** The National Geographic has named The Mornington Peninsula as one of the top places to see in 2015. Please, I beg you, take no notice....We end the year as always, with comedy. From our Prime Minister “2014 has been a year of delivery and achievement”.

POWERED BY
The getaway plan The Getaway Plan fans rejoice; the boys will be playing at the Pelly Bar on January 24 and will also be releasing their new crowdfunded album Dark Horses sometime in the next few months. PEARL’s Jessica Mills spoke to lead singer Matthew Wright about what the band behind hits such as Where the city meets the sea and The Reckoning, has planned for 2015 and how the band has changed since reforming after a short hiatus in 2010. PEARL: Tell me about your new album Dark Horses which you are currently recording in Brunswick… WRIGHT: We started out with about 35 songs and we’ve now narrowed it down to 12 for the record. There’s a not heap that I want to give away about the music just yet. But all we can say is that we’re really, really excited and without sounding too cliché we think it’s some of the best work that we’ve ever done. PEARL: What made you decide to crowdfund it? WRIGHT: We have had some difficult experiences with record companies in the past. Generally when you’re a musician working with a label and they are investing a lot of money into you, there always comes a point where they have some creative control over what you’re doing, and we are very about being in complete control of our music. Doing it independently means that we get to make the record exactly the way that we want to, we get to put the exact songs that we want to on there, everything from the ground up is as
pure as it can be. PEARL: Five per cent of money raised post pledge goal, which you have now reached, is donated to Beyond Blue. Why did you choose that charity? WRIGHT: We just thought that it was a good cause. We are all very passionate about supporting mental health issues, a few of us have been affected by it before, and it’s just an important cause for us. PEARL: Where did inspiration for this album come from? WRIGHT: The biggest inspiration is just everything that we have been through as a band over the past five years. There’s been a lot of shit going on in the camp, some personal stuff, we’ve gone through a few members, we kind of got pretty close at one point to calling it again. This record is our triumph over that, we certainly are not throwing in the towel and we are stoked to be where we are. PEARL: You’ve recently celebrated your 10 year anniversary as a band. What’s been your biggest highlight over those years? WRIGHT: One of the biggest highlights was when we reformed. After all the negativity that was surrounding it all when we broke up, a few of us weren’t speaking to each other during that time, to be able to come back and be friends again was massive for us. PEARL: What was it like recording together again after having a break for one year? WRIGHT: We kind of just fell back into place.
There wasn’t really any awkwardness. Clint and myself ran into each one night when we were out at a club, we had a conversation and decided we weren’t quite done with what we had intended to do with this band and things just fell back into place quite smoothly. PEARL: What have you got planned for your show in Frankston later this month? Will you be playing any new stuff? WRIGHT: Yeah we will be testing out some new material for sure. We don’t want to over do it because we hate it when we go and see bands that we like and they just play a set of all new songs, we do want to make sure it is well balanced. PEARL: What’s on the agenda for 2015? WRIGHT: We plan to release the record as
soon as possible, whether that be in the first quarter or first half of the year. There’s still a lot of logistics to work out when you’re releasing a record independently. We also want to continue to tour as much as we canwe’ve got some pretty extensive tour plans up our sleeves for this year. We want to keep the ball rolling this year, we don’t want to wait another three or four years between records.

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE – INXS CHISEL OILS!
Australia Day Eve Sunday 25th January the Hallam Hotel explodes with an Oz Rock Trifecta bringing together the music of three of Australian Rock music’s biggest bands, Cold Chisel, INXS and the mighty Midnight Oil. Australia’s most renown tribute shows INXSive, Gold Chisel and The Midnight Oils Show come together in one super show at one of Melbourne’s most iconic live music venues, The Hallam Hotel. Cold Chisel were unquestionably one of the finest and most respected rock groups in Australian history. The songs of Cold
Chisel helped to form part of whatt we lik like to call “The Great Australian Soundtrack”, with many of them being best described as Australian Rock Anthems. It is with great pride that as Australian musicians GOLD CHISEL can take these songs across Australia and help many Aussies relive the memories and at the same time introduce these timeless classics to a whole new generation. INXS-IVE reproduce not only the sound of INXS, but also the live show that made them as memorable as they are today. INXS-IVE give every audience the opportunity to
re-experience the inspiring, i th e iinspiring i and proudly Australian, music that INXS created. A must see for all INXS fans! Midnight Oil were more than just a rock & roll band. From the northern beaches of Sydney to the streets of Manhattan, they stopped traffic, inflamed passions, inspired fans, challenged the concepts of “business as usual” and broke new ground. To see Midnight Oil in full flight was to experience the full visceral, transcendent, kinetic power of live rock & roll. To experience Midnight Oil was to be inspired by ideas, to be encouraged to live life more passionately, to get involved in the world around you.
Bringing Back The Oils - The Midnight Oil Show celebrate the music, the influences, and the artistry of Midnight Oil, as we share it with a new generation. They’re bringing back THE OILS…with or without them! It’s a night of non-stop Aussie classics with three big bands at one of Australia’s greatest live music venues. Join INXSive, Gold Chisel and The Oils for the Australian Made Tribute Supershow on Sunday 25th January from 8pm at the Hallam Hotel, Princes Hwy Hallam. Tickets available at hallamhotel.com.au SIMON MILLS

Doggies hold upper hand over Old Boys PROVINCIAL By IT Gully MORNINGTON is a strong position heading into day two of its clash against top of the ladder Peninsula Old Boys in MPCA Provincial cricket. Going into the game, Mornington sat in fifth position, equal on points with fifth placed Long Island and sixth-placed Langwarrin. They were an outright win (18 points) behind the Old Boys. However, the reigning premier looks set to bridge the gap with the Old Boys after sending them packing for just 105 on Saturday at Alexandra Park. The Old Boys have been in red hot form with the bat this season, scoring more than 100 runs more than its nearest rival Sorrento. They had scored 300 more than the Dogs heading into the clash. It mattered little however as Mornington’s front-line bowling attack tore through the Old Boys’ batting line-up. Not only did the Doggies take
wickets, they bowled tightly, restricting the Old Boys to a little under two runs an over. The Old Boys lasted 58 overs. Mornington needed to face the last 22 overs of the day and managed to get through relatively unscathed. At stumps the home team was 1/40. There’s no rush for the Dogs in this one. Simply use as many of their 80 overs as possible to get another 66 runs. Crib Point is in danger of losing contact with the top four after succumbing to the power of Sorrento on Saturday. It was brothers Andrew and Chris King who again tormented the opposition batsmen, picking up seven wickets between them. CJ bowled 17 overs and finished with 4/38 while AJ bowled 16 overs and snared 3/24. All other bowlers including Nick Davern, Mick Dunball and Liam O’Connor were rewarded for their efforts with a wicket each. Magpies’ skipper Robbie Hearn top scored for his side with 29, while Jack Johnson made a timely 26 batting at
nine. In reply, Sorrento is 2/39 after batting the final 23 overs of the day. Corey Harris (15) and Nick Jewell (0) are the not out batsmen, while Jack Falck (4) and Liam O’Connor (14) are back in the sheds. Luke Herrington (1/9 off six) and Brad Davidson (1/7 from seven) are the Magpies’ wicket takers. Moorooduc created even more pain for the struggling Mt Eliza on Saturday at Emil Madsden Reserve, giving the home side 252 to chase down for victory. Whilst there wasn’t a Duc that went on to make a big score, the large majority of batsmen made a solid contribution to the total of 6/251. Jack Kennedy again proved to be a wonderful pick-up for the Ducs, top scoring with 46, while Bobby Wilson helped himself to 42. John Collison also made it 239 runs for the season with 41 at the top of the innings. Lyle House was the best of the Mt Eliza bowlers, picking up 2/80 from 22 overs. Pines looks likely to escape the battle to avoid relegation, despite being bowled out for 107 on Saturday
against Rye. The Piners batted first at RJ Rowley Reserve and other than Jake Prosser with 41, only three other batsmen made it into double figures. Rye skipper Tom Baron led from the front for the Demons with 5/44 from 20 overs while Leigh Lambert was just as impressive with 4/32 from 17 overs. However, yet again, Rye’s batsmen were not able to hold off the opposition’s bowlers. It was former Langwarrin leftarm opening quick Alex Coad who did the damage for the Piners with a devastating six over spell that landed 3/8. At stumps, Rye was is all sorts of trouble at 4/36. Bottom of the table Heatherhill will be looking to avoid an outright defeat at the hands of Baxter when the sides head into day two this Saturday. The Hills batted first on Saturday and made just 94 in 36.2 overs. Jake Foster top scored with 24 in his second game of the season. Chamika Sattambi was the pick of the Baxter bowlers with four wickets,
while Brad Holton in his first senior appearance picked up three wickets to go with the 19 he has claimed in the Second XI this season. Baxter made a quick fire 8/161 in 35 overs before having the last eight overs of the day at the Hills. The home side will resume on 0/19. Langwarrin will need to be at its best with the bat if it is to get the required runs against Long Island to win the match. The Islanders are without question in the box seat after making 9/196. The Kangas have a history of buckling under the pressure in run chases, regardless of the total. They also have a fear of Islanders’ star Scott Phillips, who takes them to the cleaners every time they play against him. Dwayne Doig picked-up 3/57 from 29 overs for the Kangas, while Adrian Mack snared 2/49 from 28 overs. Matt Prosser, in a rare occurrence, was thrown the ball and picked-up 2/35.
Eagles to land final blow DISTRICT By IT Gully SOMERVILLE has the opportunity to finish Delacombe Park off for the season in MPCA District cricket. Whilst the Eagles are sitting pretty in second place on the ladder and are looking to consolidate their place in the top bracket, Delacombe is hanging on for dear life and simply must win the match if it is to play finals this season. It would be a massive failure if the Parkers were unable to back-up a grand final in 2013/14 with at last a place in the finals the following season. They appear to be up against thought heading into day two of their match with the Eagles. Somerville batted first on Saturday on their home deck and made 209 from 73 overs. Leigh Lowry was superb for the Eagles with 61 after his side slumped to 4/35. With the Eagles reeling at 6/73, Matty Roach strode to the crease and saved the day with an unbeaten 65. Without Aaron Kaddatz in the team, Roach was the last of the recognised batsmen. Shane Deal was the pick of the Parkers’ bowlers with 3/36 from 21 overs. In reply, the Parkers are 1/8 after facing the final seven overs of the day. Without skipper Chris Brittain, it would be a mighty effort for the Parkers to win. Main Ridge has some work to do against Hastings but is still favourite to win the game. The Ridge are hanging on to fifth place on the ladder currently, just half a game outside of third place and 12 points out of second. Although they are favorites to beat Hastings, they have plenty of work ahead of them to get the desired result. Hastings won the toss and batted first on Saturday but was bowled out for 113. Scott Millar was superb with the ball for the Ridge taking 5/37. However, in reply, the home side is reeling at 3/43 with the dangerous Michael Holmes and Brad Rossborough back in the sheds. Shaun Foster has single handedly given Carrum the upper hand in its match against Baden Powell. Foster made 114 and Daniel Polson chimed-in with 53 to help the Lions to
216 against the Braves. Josh Dent with 12 runs was the only other batsmen to make double figures. Sean Wilson was the best of the Braves’ bowlers with 3/35 from 16.5 overs. Baden Powell simply must win this game if it is any chance of playing finals this season. The Lions are looking to tighten their grip inside the top four. Mt Martha’s bowlers will need to produce something very special if they are going to defend the 167 they set Red Hill to win the match. The Hillmen were superb with the ball on Saturday at Ferraro Reserve, restricting the home side to less than 200. Simon Dart again led the way for his side with 3/35 from 22 overs, while Brent Martin and Jamie McCall collected two wickets each. The Hillmen faced the last over of the day and remained unscathed. They will resume at 0/7 after five wides were bowled in the opening over. Seaford Tigers look to have the upper hand in their clash with bitter rival and the highly fancied Seaford at Seaford Reserve. Seaford won the toss on Saturday and sent the Tigers into bat. It looked like a good move when they had the opposition 4/30 and 5/59, however, the Tigers scrambled to 9/236, thanks largely to 77 from skipper David James and more than 100 runs from the tail. Andy McMannis was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 3/26 from 13 overs, while Aaron Peebles and Faisal Payenda each claimed two wickets. Flinders has placed itself in a wonderful position to remove itself from relegation calculations against Boneo. Flinders went into the match second bottom of the ladder on 12 points while Boneo is only one place higher on 24 points. On Saturday at BA Cairns Reserve, Flinders all but avoided relegation after scoring 7/259 in their 80 overs. Andrew Power top scored with 61, Tommy Clements hit 58 and Blake Hogan-Keogh hit 48 to be the keys to the big total. Alex Petrovic took three wickets for the Pandas.

Still hope for Saints SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully BALNARRING will be throwing every at the opportunity to claim an outright victory against Skye in MPCA Sub-District cricket. An outright win would see Balnarring back in the finals race after a very disappointing season to date. Going into Round 8, the Saints were in sixth position, 20 points away from fifth placed Frankston YCW and fourth placed Carrum Downs. An outright win would give the Saints 20 points and have them knocking on the door. The Cougars and YCW are locked in their own battle. The best result for the Saints would be a draw but it’s unlikely, meaning they would be a game outside of the four should they get an outright. On Saturday, they bowled Skye out for 88, James Wisken claiming 3/12
and Peter Mereszko 3/24. The Saints then hit a quick fire 7/168 with Brad Watson scoring 56 and Tom Hilet 48. On Saturday Skye will begin their second innings, still 80 runs behind. Carrum Downs made 187 against the Stonecats, which means the game is pretty even at this stage. Luke Hutchison was superb with the ball for the Stonecats with 4/30 from eight overs, while Andrew Kitson also chimed-in with 4/49 from 25 overs. Ryan Lynch top scored for the Cougars with 47 while Mark Snelling hit 38. Dromana has given itself every opportunity of celebrating a rare victory after scoring 194 on Saturday against Ballam Park. Skipper Greg McCann top scored with 86 while Craig Dunlop (34) and Trevor Rendall (25) added some much needed runs in the middle order. Ryan O’Connor did all that he

New year, new look for Holden Cruze HOLDEN’S Cruze – the only small car built in Australia- has welcomed in the New Year with a range of appealing enhancements. Most notably, the Cruze has a fresh and bold, front fascia which, when combined with newly introduced LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) give it greater road presence and an ability to stand out from the crowd. In the suite of upgrades the Cruze Equipe, winner of the RACV, RACQ and RAA Annual Running Costs Survey 2014, benefits from new 17” alloy wheels and exterior mirrors with integrated turn signal lamps. The performance-orientated Cruze SRi receives the same upgrades in addition to LED DRLs and fog lamps, whilst the even sportier SRi-V is kitted out with new 18” alloy wheels, rain sensing wipers and suede seat inserts. SRiV also gets remote start functionality as available in VF Commodore, allowing customers to start the car remotely and use the air conditioning to cool, or heat the car before getting in. Satellite navigation with voice command and
live traffic updates is also introduced to the luxury-focused Cruze CDX sedan to round off a compelling refresh to an already popular range of vehicles. Holden’s Director of Marketing, Bill Mott, said that the changes for 2015 demonstrated Holden’s ongoing commitment to producing technologically advanced, good looking and, above all, great value vehicles. “The new front fascia and grille give the car an athletic, modern look and the added features make Cruze a compelling package in the small car class.,” Mr Mott said. “With remote start, satellite navigation, reverse cameras and the award winning, MyLink infotainment system, Holden is able to offer technology not previously available in small cars. It is all part of our commitment to provide feature packed vehicles and exceptional customer value.” The 2015 Holden Cruze goes on sale 20 January nationwide.
