‘Good riddance’ to political grudges Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A COMMENT on Facebook by a first-time Frankston councillor threatened to cause strife between Frankston Council councillors before newly elected councillors even met for the first time. Steve Toms, elected in South ward, posted a message on the Saturday evening of council elections day (22 October), before all votes were counted, saying “good riddance” to Crs Rebekah Spelman and Michael O’Reilly. “Good to see Sandra [Mayer] back on Council. Good to also have Brad Hill and Kris Bolam returning to represent us on Council,” Mr Toms’ Facebook comment stated.

“Good riddance to Spellman [sic] and O’Reilly.” Michael O’Reilly was subsequently re-elected as a North-East ward councillor when results were announced by the Victorian Electoral Commission the next day. Brad Hill missed out on preferences in his bid to return to council after a four-year absence. Mr Toms, a Labor Party member, said he regretted the critical comment. “Sometimes things are said in the heat of the moment and that certainly was said in the heat of the moment,” he said. “I’ve some regret in making that comment and won’t be making any more comments of that nature.” Mr O’Reilly, a Liberal Party member, said Mr Toms had called him to apologise for the online comment.

Critical comment: Steve Toms took to Facebook to slam Michael O’Reilly.

“I accepted his apology and said no problem and we should start afresh,” Mr O’Reilly said. “He indicated that he made those comments before he had met me so that’s why he made them.” “I told him that to dislike someone on a party political basis is one of the reasons the last council had a lot of trouble because people focused too much on

their party political views and sides.” Mr Toms apologised to Mr O’Reilly after being asked about the Facebook comment by The Times. Mr O’Reilly said he wants Frankston councillors to put petty political differences aside for the good of the community. “When it comes to party politics, I don’t snipe or hold grudges against

people in opposing political parties. My brother [Sean O’Reilly] is a [City of Greater Dandenong] councillor and a long-term member of the Labor Party but I do go to him for advice and he’s one of my best mates.” Mr Toms said he wanted council to unite in the best interests of Frankston and hoped his comment could be regarded as being “in the past”. “I don’t see there being any problems between the two of us,” he said with regards to his future dealings with Mr O’Reilly after the pair are sworn in as councillors. Former councillors Darrel Taylor and Suzette Tayler were forced last month to publicly apologise to fellow councillors for comments they made on Facebook about council matters after an independent arbitrator found they had breached council’s councillor code of conduct.

New crew

A MIX of newly elected and re-elected councillors will hope to steer the Frankston Council ship into calmer waters after a previous two years marred by stormy infighting between councillors. Glenn Aitken, left, Kris Bolam, Sandra Mayer, Steve Toms, Lillian O’Connor, Brian Cunial and Colin Hampton were all smiles last Wednesday (2 November) at the official declaration of council election results. Michael O’Reilly and Quinn McCormack were unable to attend. All nine elected candidates will be sworn in as councillors by taking the oath of office at a public council meeting on Monday evening (7 November). Councillors will then vote at the meeting to elect a new mayor and deputy mayor for the first 12 months of the new four-year council term.

Hub on move

Young St parking changes

A HUB for entrepreneurs has outgrown its co-working space mere months after officially opening its doors to help new start-ups in a sign Frankston is open for business. The Frankston Foundry opened in September (â&#x20AC;&#x153;New start for business start-upsâ&#x20AC;?, The Times 26/9/16) above the Commonwealth Bank office in Wells St and co-founders Cam Rambert and James Bertschik say it has been a case of â&#x20AC;&#x153;right place, right timeâ&#x20AC;? for the business hub to launch in Frankston. Frankston itself was named this year as a major entrepreneurial hotspot by demographer Bernard Salt in an Australiawide study commissioned by NBN Co. Mr Salt found young Gen Y and older Baby Boomers, possibly facing post-employment life but not yet ready for retirement, have taken to self-employment and entrepreneurship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re riding a rising tide of business start-ups in Frankston,â&#x20AC;? Mr Cambert said. New premises for the Frankston Foundry will see member capacity rise from 20 to 100 full or part-timers, will feature faster internet connections and will be 480 square metres in size, four times bigger than the current space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to install board rooms and eating areas away from work desks,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bertschik said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on track to reach capacity before the end of the year so need to move.â&#x20AC;? See frankstonfoundry.com for more information about the co-working space and business hub for start-up businesses.

THE makeover of Young St is underway, with works to improve pedestrian safety, bus operations and provide connections with the Frankston Station precinct expected to be completed by May next year. The improvements include a landscaped boulevard with wide footpaths and more pedestrian crossings, new bus bays and shelters with real-time information displays, and additional lighting and improved CCTV coverage. From Sunday 6 November changes to car parking within the Frankstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centre, bus and taxi locations and Bayside Shopping Centre include: ď Ž Young St bus stops and taxi ranks will be relocated to Beach St and further south along Young St between Playne St and Wells St ď Ž The Young St west car park near Park Lane will be converted to short-term parking only ď&#x20AC;

ď&#x20AC;

ď Ž The car park at the corner of Young St and Davey St will change from three hour to all day parking ď Ž 40 spaces on the north and east side of the Frankston Mechanics Hall will change from four hour to all-day parking ď Ž The parking space on the south side of Wells St adjacent to Young St will change from one-hour parking to a loading zone. The $13 million redevelopment, managed by VicRoads, is the first stage in the $63 million revamp of the Frankston Station Precinct. Businesses will remain open as usual during construction. A Project Information Hub has been opened at 58 Young Street, Frankston, 10am3pm, Monday to Friday. See vicroads.vic.gov.au and search for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Young Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, or call 1800 859 520 or email youngstreet@roads.vic.gov.au for further information. ď&#x20AC;

Arts Precinct on the up FRANKSTONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Arts Precinct, comprising the Frankston Library and Youth Central, Frankston Arts Centre and Cube 37, is set for a major upgrade to improve access and visitor comfort. Improvements will include a new lift at the Frankston Arts Centre to provide access to the foyer mezzanine, improved disability access to the toilets, sensor-operated taps and hand dryers, automated toilet doors, new baby change facilities and parenting areas.

Growing gains: James Bertschik, left, and Cam Rambert are looking foward to opening up a larger co-working space for start ups. Picture: Gary Sissons

Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said the library and arts precinct were well used by the community, with around 6,000 visits to the library and 3000 visits to the Frankston Arts Centre each week. Works are expected to be completed by January next year and Mr Hovenden said works have been coordinated to reduce any impact to library and arts centre users. The refurbishments follow recent upgrades to the Frankston Arts Centre, including a new bar and kitchen.

College’s graduation rates down again

Time to think big

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au GRADUATION rates at Evocca College campuses have plunged to new lows amid a belated federal government crackdown on taxpayer funding to the private owned vocational education and training providers. Updated figures released by the federal government late last month show course completion rates at Evocca College campuses nationally fell from a low 23.6 per cent between 2012-14 to 12.2 per cent in 2013-15. The Queensland-based company trades as the Australian College of Training and Employment abbreviated to ACTE Pty Ltd and offers “study now, pay later” deals, known as VET FEE-HELP loans, to students who do not have to pay back course fees until they earn at least $50,000 per year. Several registered training organisations, including Evocca, were criticised in a 2015 Senate inquiry of targeting vulnerable students with little or no chance of completing courses to boost enrolment numbers and reap hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of profits. ACTE Pty Ltd has received more than $550 million of taxpayers’ money since 2011 despite ongoing low graduation rates. Fees for short courses offered by the privately owned colleges are often far higher than equivalent TAFE courses. Evocca has a campus in Frankston at Balmoral St and that campus name was changed earlier this year to be

called ‘Study Precinct – Frankston’. ACTE decided to change the name of each of its individual campuses in April to reposition Evocca College as “change academies”. When contacted by The Times ACTE insisted its graduation rates are above the sector average and continues to say many students will graduate in future despite the college consistently having low graduations over several years. The federal government figures released last month revealed the average graduation rate across all providers nationwide between 2013-15 was 22.9 per cent against ACTE’s 12.2 per cent graduation rate. “ACTE’s graduation rates are better than, or in line with, many other major public and private providers and also do not yet fully reflect students who have enrolled but are yet to graduate,” media and communications manager

Suzanne Bartlett said in a statement. Ms Bartlett said the company does not release individual graduation rates at individual campuses including its Frankston business. The federal government also does not collate individual campus graduation rates. The blowout in VET FEE-HELP taxpayer-funded debts occurred after the introduction of the scheme in 2012 by the former Labor federal government and continued under the Coalition government. The latest federal Minister for Education and Training Simon Birmingham, appointed in September last year, has vowed to crackdown on “dodgy behaviour” by unscrupulous registered training organisations. “Only now with historical data can we see the true damage Labor’s changes to VET FEE-HELP did whereby the scheme blew out from

costing $325 million in 2012 to $1.8 billion in 2014 and $2.9 billion in 2015, student numbers jumped by almost 400 per cent, fees more than doubled and loans increased by 792 per cent,” Mr Birmingham said in a statement. “While the 20 measures the Coalition put in place over 2015 and 2016 have stemmed some of the losses in VET FEE-HELP, with total 2016 loans projected to be around 45 per cent lower than in 2015, it is clear that a completely new program was essential to weed out the rorters and restore credibility to VET.” Labor promised it would cap VET FEE-HELP course fees at $8000 per year if it had won government at this year’s federal election. The average course fee is $14,918 nationally according to federal government data and $14,088 for ACTE provided courses.

FRANKSTON Council is inviting residents, business owners and community groups to ‘Think Big’ share their ideas and priorities on how to shape the city’s future at frankston.vic. gov.au/ThinkBig online. Council CEO Dennis Hovenden says council seeks community feedback to help create plans “to deliver greater outcomes for everybody”. “By sharing your ideas and having your say on council’s future direction, you are directly contributing to what matters the most and how Frankston can achieve our goals as a community,” he said. He said ‘Think Big’ would inspire people through videos and stories of others sharing their hopes and achievements. Resident Lisa Harry encouraged everyone to ‘Think Big’. “My vision for Frankston City is to create a city that is accessible to everyone with a disability,” Ms Harry said. Sandi Waters, resident and manager of SASI Home and Community Care, said she would like Frankston to be a place where everyone felt safe to visit, live, work or raise a family. “I would like to see a city that is innovative, proactive and recognised for its incredible community spirit,” she said. A Think Big community forum will be held on Saturday 3 December, 10am-4pm at the Frankston Park Function Centre. See frankston.vic.gov.au/ThinkBig to register or call 9784 1035. Suggestions can also be made via social media using the hashtag #ThinkBigFrankstonCity, which will then be added to the ‘Think Big Frankston City’ website for others to vote on.

Lifters not leaners: Frankston’s Gawain Johnstone went up against international powerlifters last weekend. Picture: Gary Sissons

Contest worth the weight IF you noticed a lot of huge men around Frankston last Saturday (29 October), there’s a strong chance they were part of a fast-growing powerlifting craze that attracted lifters to town from around the world. Here for the ‘Big Dogs’ powerlifting competition, an invitation-only competition held for the first time in Frankston, eight powerlifters from Russia, the UK and Australia pitted their muscles against each other in the three-set lifting sequence. After lots of grunting and clenching of muscles by all involved, Russia claimed the $30,000 prize when 39-yearold Andrey Malanichev lifted a total of 1140 kilograms in the combined squat, benchpress and dead lift event.

Organiser and Pro Raw Powerlifting owner Markos Markopoulos said Frankston was “the powerlifting capital” of the world and home to some of the best, but that the spectator element was a relatively new addition. He said last week’s event at Frankston Arts Centre was the first of its kind, with a shorter schedule so that spectators could enjoy the entire competition, which is usually held over several days. The new format was a hit, with all 400 seats sold. “If you were out and about in Frankston last week you would have noticed it was packed – there were bodybuilders and weight-lifters everywhere,” he said.

Police hunt for couple’s jewel heirlooms Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au AN elderly Seaford couple is reeling after the theft of rare and valuable jewellery from their bedroom but pleased that Frankston police have managed to track much of it down. A 30-year-old Frankston man – now in custody on a range of burglary, deception, car theft and criminal damage charges – allegedly stole the jewellery valued at more than $10,000 from the Moresby Av house on Tuesday 25 October. The haul included a Pandora bracelet, gold watches, rings of various sorts, necklaces adorned with crosses and dia-

monds, rosary beads and a 110-year-old ruby ring given to the woman by her mother when she married 60 years ago. “We can’t even put a price on much of it,” said the distressed owner, who did not want to be identified. “And we still haven’t got much of the expensive jewellery back.” The couple, in their late 70s, still hope an antique fob watch and a valuable set of black rosary beads, which the woman had blessed at Westminster Abbey will be returned. “The jewellery is valuable but also has much sentimental value,” Detective Senior Constable Belinda Rampal, of Frankston CIU, said. “The couple are extremely distressed by their loss.” Detective Rampal said the alleged

Arrest on drugs charges POLICE say a man arrested in a Seaford hotel car park threw a small parcel into bushes when approached. When found, police say it contained a 200ml bottle of a clear liquid, which is being analysed but appears to be the drug GHB. Detective Sergeant Paul Bussutil said the man appeared drug affected when police intercepted him, 1.48am, Wednesday 2 November. Police allege he was also carrying 47gm of a white powder, probably ice, a second bottle containing 300ml of a clear liquid, a small quantity of cash and a large knife. The 29-year-old Frankston man – whom police say was already on bail on two trafficking charges – was charged with trafficking ice and GHB. He appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Thursday and was further remanded to a later date.

thief was recognised from CCTV footage taken at another burglary and arrested at Seaford – with much of the missing jewellery in his possession. In another aggravate burglary, on Friday 21 October, the same man is alleged to have used a jemmy bar to force open the back door of a Dunn Cr, Langwarrin house, 1.30am, where a woman, 30, and her two children were sleeping. The woman’s handbag and car keys were stolen before the thief drove off in her red Holden Commodore and used stolen credit cards to buy food and drinks at a Karingal Hungry Jacks and a BP Express in Frankston. Detective Rampal said the man also stole two non-matching number plates from parked cars which he attached

to the front and rear of the car before joyriding on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway. He is alleged to have lost control and ploughed into a tree near Rutherford Rd and used a jerry can of petrol to set fire to the car. The man was arrested in Warragul on Monday 24 October for being in possession of a stolen trailer and trespassing on private property.He was interviewed on these matters and for allegedly using stolen credit cards and thefts by deception, and released on bail. Half an hour later, police allege the man stole a charity tin containing $54 from the Warragul McDonalds before driving back to Frankston on 25 October and robbing the elderly couple in Seaford.

Detective Rampal said that when the man was taken to Frankston police station he was further charged with the aggravated burglary of a Gladesville Av, Patterson Lakes house, where he allegedly got away with a PlayStation 3, Playstation4, Samsung Galaxy Tablet and three electric guitars – none of which have been recovered – about 4am, Wednesday 28 September. The man will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, 17 November, on three counts of aggravated burglary, theft of a charity tin, two counts of obtaining property by deception, two counts of theft of a motor car, criminal damage by arson, and driving while disqualified.

Lawrey said he was taken to The Alfred hospital in a critical but stable condition. Picture: Gary Sissons

Teen hit

POLICE are calling for witnesses to a crash on Cranbourne Rd in which a teenager was injured, Wednesday 2 November. The boy was struck as he ran across the road about 6.20pm. The female driver, who was uninjured, stopped to help. The boy was airlifted to a Melbourne hospital with head injuries. There are calls to make this section of road 60kph rather than 80kph as it has houses on the right and a children’s park on the left, going east. The 80kph speed limit applies near Peninsula Link past Karingal Hub. Call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 with information. Picture: Gary Sissons

Author gets it off his chest for posterity Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au IT’S not that unusual to develop a cough after spending weeks either in air conditioned rooms and cars or outside on 40 degree days. On his first back in England after three weeks in the Middle East Alan Cane woke up wrapped in clammy sheets. He coughed and there was blood in his handkerchief. A visit to the doctor led to blood tests and an x-ray. Two days later he was admitted to a sanatorium with tuberculosis, TB. This all happened in the mid-1970s and such a diagnosis, even then, was commonly regarded as a death sentence. Antibiotics meant this was no longer the case, but there remained a stigma attached to TB. Now nearing 70, Cane has written a biographical novel about the 1000 days that followed his diagnosis. He readily admits that three years does not make a life, but the six months of relative isolation spent in the sanatorium (including surgery to remove part of a lung) turned his life around. Although he hadn’t been fired, it soon became apparent after returning to work that his employer no longer needed, or wanted, him on the payroll. The company had been supportive throughout his illness “but I was damaged goods; they didn’t want to know me”. Cane now lives at Mt Eliza with his wife Susana, who also features in the book, first as a part of a double date in Singapore and then as his wife. They have four children. A picture of Susana is on the cover of Cane’s “true life memoir”. He says it’s not necessary for the cover image “to be relevant to the content”. Cane’s A breathless odyssey does not hold back on the pleasure seeking times and exploits of a late 20s business man based in Singapore after surviving a life-threatening disease. His

Alan Cane wife, he says, gave her approval to the sexual content and references “but there are two chapters devoted to her – she knocked me off my feet [when I met her]”. Once out of the sanatorium (a forbidding Edwardian building now truned into trendy apartments) Cane was offered a job within six months by a rival to his former employer. But this time his base would be in Asia rather than the Middle East. Cane grabs the opportunity with both hands, becoming “expertly familiar with Asian business practices”. A chemical engineer who had graduated from Manchester University, Cane worked in both the technical and marketing fields of water purification. “I was a pioneer, taking [this technology] to the region,” he says. Cane says wanted to “document something that was important to me” and explains to future generations of his family “how Chinese blood came into their DNA”.

“I was the first European to take one of my wife’s [12 brothers and sisters] from Singapore. “The book [was written] as more of an indulgence than to make money, but I’ll be happy to recover costs.” Cane had written two previous books, both calling on his wide knowledge and experience of doing business in the Middle East and South East Asia. They were written after he brought his young family to live in Australia in 1984 on the back of an offer to participate in a development project based in Melbourne. The project failed and he saw there was value in his experience, and realised having a published book was a way to become known as an expert. A go to man for quotes, newspaper columns, consulting and speaking on “the seminar circuit”. Happily for Cane, his decision to live in Australia coincided with the urgings from some federal MPs (Paul Keating for one) for business leaders to embrace the idea of looking to Asia for business as well as the more traditional markets in Europe and the United States. “Just spouting out what I knew led to my success,” he says. Some of the advice he gave included “just speaking another language isn’t a recipe for success” and “don’t pretend you are something more than you are”. “You can intimidate people if you profess to be an expert in business and languages. Remember, people are looking for simple solutions.” Now retired, Cane says his life revolves around family. He plays some golf, brews craft beer and enjoys cooking. He is also available for speaking engagements. Alan Cane’s “A breathless Odyssey” will be officially launched at Frankston Library 6.307.30pm Wednesday 14 December.

Fund run: A fun run against an historic locomotive is being held by Mt Eliza Rotary Club to raise money for Frankston Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paediatric ward. Caleb Tischer, in one of the beds bought with money raised from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun run, is pictured with his mother Lynn, left, paediatric ward nurse unit manager Helen Hutchins and nurse Leanne Hill.

Fun run help for hospital FIVE new beds have been added to the paediatric ward at Frankston Hospital thanks to Mt Eliza Rotary Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kids Fun Run against Mornington Railway Preservat6ion Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locomotive, K163. The club raised $20,000 from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun run for the beds and this year hopes to match that with more specialised equipment for children. Frankston Hospital paediatric ward nurse unit manager, Helen Hutchins, says the beds are used for children who need help to sit up and be supported in bed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We care for a lot of kids who have severe disabilities so these new beds are great for them. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also great for kids having operations, as the technology in the beds make it easier for nurses to care for their patients.â&#x20AC;? Registrations open on 1 November for the second annual childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun run with K163, which will be on 19 March 2017. Rotary hopes the 2017 run will raise enough money to buy a transport incubator for the hospital nursery for cares for premature babies.

Artists open doors to their works Fitness for THE works and methods of artists will be on display for four days this month when studio doors are thrown open during the annual Peninsula Studio Trail. The artists have produced a map that can be used to plan a scenic tour that takes in 17 creative spaces, from Frankston South to Flinders, along the coast to Rye and then back to the Port Phillip side of the peninsula through Red Hill. Along the way, the artists will show a range of art not always available in the commercial galleries. At McCrae, Katrina Newman, who makes jewellery with gold and silver, will demonstrate her use of cuttlefish bone casting at 2.30pm Sunday 13 and 19 November. The smell of burning cuttlefish bone, the heat of the gas and the noise of the torch is more than compensated by the excitement of watching as the silver becomes molten and is carefully poured into the cuttlefish bone mould. Newman will describe the process from carving the cuttlefish to casting. It is in her studio that most of the hard work is done to transform a rough cast to a highly polished work of art that she sells directly from her studio. Living on the Mornington Peninsula for more than 17 years, Newman says her jewellery reflects a love of the sea and the Australian landscape. In Mornington, John Trebilco and Dianne Williamson live and make art together, and this year have joined the studio trail for the first time. Other first timers are RIa Brenchley at Flinders, whose studio overlooks Bass Strait, Gary Goodrich at McCrae, whose art space is crammed

the 50s up

Art by figures: Mornington-based artist John Trebilco has joined the Peninsula Studio Trail which has seen studio doors opened on an annual basis for the past seven years.

with a diverse collection of art and potter John Stoomer at Moorooduc. Cathie Coleman, at Bittern, who regularly opens her studio The Swamp, said the trail’s new logo designed by Susan Swenser, “has moved from the paint splash to the feel of the artists’ trail encompassing the peninsula's hills and ocean”. “Working with the Peninsula Studio Trail artists has made me realise what

a dedicated diverse group of creative souls there are at our doorstep,” Ms Coleman said. The Peninsula Studio Trail runs 10am-5pm on 12, 13, 19 and 20 November. Visitors can download a map of studio locations at peninsulastudiotrail. org. Inquiries: info@peninsulastudiotrail.org or call Bryan Baldwin on 0417 120323.

Angler hooks champion tag with 11.8kg fish Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au LANGWARRIN fisherman Harry Sellers is the 2016 Victorian Amateur Snapper Champion after he landed an 11.866kg fish over the Melbourne Cup weekend. Jake Milligan, of Mornington, was a close runner up with a snapper weighing 11.620kg, while Rohan McRae, of Wonthaggi, caught the third heaviest Big Red at 9.840kg. The 2016 junior champion is Hunter Blackford, of Frankston, whose fish weighed 7.800kg. The 33rd Tea Tree snapper competition was held on both Port Phillip and Western Port bays with the weigh in and presentation at Mornington Racecourse. The 1492 competitors caught and weighed 1200 fish, with 719 fish coming from Western Port. For the first time in the competition’s history there was a tie for second place in the junior section. Brodie King, of Manor Lakes, and Tommy Porto, of Baxter, each caught snappers weighing 7.480kg. Some anglers walked away with a new boat, motor and trailer package. A 4.3m boat was won by Michael Fitts, of Mt Martha, who caught a 5.889kg fish. Mick Dobson, of Frankston South, caught a 5.814kg fish and won four metre boat and trailer while Ian George, of South Morang, caught a 4.25kg fish to win the 3.7m boat and trailer. One angler recounted a story about a fish pulling the rod out of his hands while he was taking a bite to eat. He gave up trying to jag the rod after several failed attempts. An hour later, another of his rods screamed as a big fish took the bait. Landing it he noticed an extra hook in the fish’s mouth and pulled in the line – and up came the lost rod.

Elderly couple die in ‘pact’

Chopper rescue POLICE say a Lilydale man was lucky not to be seriously injured when he tripped and fell while walking at The Pillars, Mt Martha, on Cup Day. The 63-year-old injured his shoulder when he tripped and fell onto “jagged and sharp” rocks about 2pm. Acting Sergeant Ray Box, of Mornington CIU, said a rock fisherman saw the man lying injured in a wedgeshaped depression after his fall and called Triple 000. “The tide was coming in and he was getting splashed by the waves so there was no time to lose,” he said. Ambulance crews called to the scene had to wait for the police helicopter to arrive from the West Gate Bridge – 15 minutes away – because of the difficulty in reaching the man. A chopper crewman was then winched down to put a rescue harness on the man, who was flown to Mt Martha Primary School oval and taken by road to Frankston Hospital. He was said to be in a satisfactory condition on Thursday.

Roundabout Cup Tragic scene: Police manage traffic near the elderly couple’s house. Picture: Yanni

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au THE driveway of a house in a quiet Rosebud street was the scene of a supposed suicide pact between an elderly couple, Thursday afternoon, 3 November. A neighbour found the couple – in

their mid-80s – inside their car in Adams Av, 4.30pm, with the woman dead and the man critically injured. The woman had been shot and the man was suffering life-threatening injuries from a 0.22 calibre gunshot wound. It is believed he shot the woman and then reloaded and shot himself. The man was airlifted from the Olympic oval, Rosebud, to The Alfred

hospital where he later died. Investigators do not believe a third party was involved. The investigation is ongoing. Sergeant Michael Shearman, of Rosebud police, said it was believed the couple was suffering a terminal illness and had “got their affairs in order”, before ending their lives in their car.

A WOMAN who drove the wrong way around a roundabout in Hastings on Cup Day had a blood alcohol reading of more than double the legal limit. A motorist alerted police after the woman, 75, was seen driving erratically. Police found her on the wrong side of a roundabout at the intersection of Frankston-Flinders Rd and High St, 5pm. The Hastings woman told police she had been drinking at a race day function at her bowls club. After showing a blood alcohol reading of 0.122 per cent, she was fined $661 and her licence cancelled for 12 months.

Do you suffer foot, knee or leg pain? OUR feet and legs are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our daily activities, so its no wonder most people suffer foot, knee or leg pain at some point in their lives. But what can you do about it? We asked the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics to shed some light on common foot and leg concerns:  The most common concerns include: knee pain, injuries and arthritis; heel, shin or forefoot pain; ankle and achilles concerns.  Many conditions are misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated, so its important to find an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist to assist.  Bad foot posture can continually pull your body out of alignment, which can contribute to postural aches / pains and undue stress on joints and tissues.  Early symptoms for diabetes, arthritis, nerve and circulatory problems often show themselves initially in the feet.  Traditional treatments such as cortisone, anti-inflammatory medications and joint arthroscopies are now outdated for conditions such as joint arthritis, and have been found to delay healing and cause further tissue damage in many cases.  Biological medicine is now superseding the pharmaceutical approach, providing us with natural, safe and effective medical alternatives and treatments. Natural regenerative therapies such as Prolotherapy and PRP (platelet rich plasma) are helping many to heal injuries and

assist degeneration.  Foot and leg problems left untreated usually get worse, however most foot & leg concerns can be addressed relatively easily and effectively with appropriate treatment. “By combining the latest regenerative therapies with a sound knowledge of musculoskeletal medicine, biomechanics, and load management strategies to assist stresses through joints and tissues, we can aid or eradicate pain, increase mobility, repair injury and regenerate tissues to assist arthritic concerns – naturally,” say the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics. If you need assistance with foot or leg pain, Foot & Leg Pain Clinics have convenient clinic locations across Victoria including Mt. Eliza, Rosebud, Berwick and Moorabbin.

INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL

Commercial real estate also benefits as peninsula real estate boom continues IT may not have a slew of lifestyle programs and channels to promote it, but make no mistake about it, commercial real estate is hot, with prices, and more importantly for investors, yields, that are rivalling that of residential properties. The peninsula has seen a steady flow of significant freehold properties come onto the market with all achieving a successful sale. One example of this upward trend is the property at 108 Main Street, Mornington which was sold by Kevin Wright Commercial towards the end of 2015 for a figure estimated at $1,600,000. Barely 12 months later the property was again sold for $1,910,000, which represents a healthy 4% yield and a dramatic 20% uplift in value in just 12 months. Jamie Stuart of Kevin Wright Commercial believes that this shows the strength of property values in Mornington and the Peninsula, and can see them continuing to rise through a combination of factors, most notably, the continual influx of population to the area, the low interest rate environment and accessibility of the Peninsula due to Eastlink and Peninsula Link. “We are starting to see developers and particularly those from off-shore, who are cashed up, entering the peninsula market, looking to capitalise on the strengthening tourism industry and residential population boom. “ Mr Stuart said “The highly publicised recent sale of the Melbourne University Business School in Mount Eliza which sold to New Zealand based Ryman Health Care for a reported $40 million, is testament that the region is fast becoming a hot-spot for International developers, institutions and occupiers”. Across the peninsula, and Hastings has received some welcome investment with national plumbing and fixture retailer, Tradelink, now operating from their new site at 1/1907 Frankston Flinders Road. Prominent commercial and industrial property specialists Nichols Crowder managed the property with Tom Crowder and James Dodge as the leasing agents. The site adds to Tradelink’s

High Achiever: 108 Main Street, Mornington was sold this year for more than $1.9 million, up 20% in 12 months.

100 plus stores across Australia. “Tradelink needed a large property on a main road with high traffic flows. It also wanted to be close to major transport links and be able to serve local communities. This Hastings property meets all criteria, with the company signing a 5 x 5 x 5 year lease.” Mr Dodge said. The addition of the Tradelink Hastings store provides some good news for the Western Port region where vacancy rates for commercial and industrial property

The link between hearing loss and dementia ACCORDING to Alzheimer’s Australia, there are more than 342,800 Australians living with dementia. The number is expected to increase to 900,000 by 2050. The overwhelming impact of dementia on affected individuals and the burden imposed on their families is unfortunately a reality for too many. Dementia is a term used to describe a large group of illnesses that causes a progressive decline in a person’s memory, intellect, rationality, social skills and physical function. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, caused by a progressive degeneration of brain cells. Any person can develop Alzheimer’s disease, however it is

more common in older age. Numerous studies have shown that individuals with hearing loss are more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and reduced cognitive function due to decreased signals to the brain. Researchers have suggested that this is due to the reduced social interaction that occurs with hearing loss. ‘Blindness separates people from things, deafness separates people from people’ – Immanuel Kant. Hearing loss can cause social isolation, stress, embarrassment and depression. With the modern era of hearing aids to assist managing hearing loss, it is only logical what the next step involves.

performances by Paul Kelly, Rockwiz, C.W. Stoneking, Deborah Conway, Kasey Chambers and many more.

Since their multi-platinum conquest of pop radio with the Black Sorrows in the late 1980s, the sisters have forged diverse pathways into soul, gospel, blues, country and the island music of their Tongan ancestry.

Their invitation to join Joe Camilleri’s Black Sorrows ushered in that band’s most successful era: Hold Onto Me, Harley and Rose and Better Times were all tripleplatinum albums between ‘88 and ‘92, and the sisters’ prominent vocals captivated massive audiences, here and worldwide.

By turns tender and powerful, their rich solo vocals and instinctive harmonies have spawned eight albums of their own, as well as illuminating studio and concert

Vika & Linda, their debut album of 1994, was produced by Paul Kelly and written by some of the most accomplished songwriters of the era, including Paul Kelly, Joe Camilleri,

in At Last The Etta James Story in which this incredible show saw its world premier in Melbourne in 2013 and since then has toured all the capital cities in Australia, completed two sold out seasons at The Sydney Opera House and in November of 2014 rocked an enthralled Kiwi crowd at the prestigious Aotea Centre in Auckland New Zealand.

Stephen Cummings, Mark Seymour and Nick Barker. The next decade found the sisters embracing a range of musical possibilities on a string of albums. On stage and in the studio, the sisters continue to seek challenges as diverse Tell The Angels, a gospel album recorded live in a Brunswick pub; Meet Me In the Middle of the Air, an innovative mix of jazz and gospel created by Paul Kelly and Paul Grabowsky; The Merri Soul Sessions presented by Paul Kelly and Paul Kelly’s Seven Sonnets & A Song.

THE BLACK SORROWS The Black Sorrows have earned the reputation as a dynamic live act. There is a level of accessibility to The Black Sorrows that can appeal to the newest of fan. At the helm, Camilleri steers the band through an energetic interplay of solid grooves and well- crafted songs that mix those well-worn ingredients of blues, soul, R&B, gospel, country and even Brill Building pop. Spontaneous (forget set lists) and emotionally driven, Joe ensures that no two performances are ever the same. Camilleri’s mantra is simple “we come to play and leave the audience feeling exhilarated”. The Black Sorrows continue to be one of Australia’s most enduring touring bands and a festival favourite. Membership in The Black Sorrows has always

been loose and fluid with Camilleri being the only constant. In keeping with Joe’s desire to continually move forward, the latest incarnation of The Black Sorrows is - Claude Carranza (guitar/ vocals), Mark Gray (bass/vocals), John McAll (keyboards/vocals) and Angus Burchall (drums). Joe Camilleri continues to write with his long-term writing partner Nick Smith and will release The Black Sorrows’ 18th album in 2016, bringing Camilleri’s career discography ever closer to an incredible 50 releases. The Black Sorrows will be playing at The Grand Hotel, Mornington, on Friday 2 December. Tickets at grand.oztix.com.au or www.grand.net.au

ABBE MAY Re-emerging from a hiatus earlier this year with the catchy pop dittie ‘Are We Flirting’, Abbe May’s followup ‘Doomsday Clock’ unveils yet another side to her personality as she reveals yet another layer of her forthcoming album ‘Bitchcraft’ and a national tour this November/December. The song contrasts a joyous Gospel choir (Featuring May, Joni Hogan and Odette Mercy) with striking, ominous bells that ring throughout what could be May’s most immediate single yet. May suggests there is a chance for hope offered through acknowledgment of our inevitable demise. One of the earliest songs written for ‘Bitchcraft’, Doomsday Clock was developed at a time when May was recovering from a nervous system break down. “My lifeline really was the great love I feel for my infant niece and nephews. It really made me see beyond myself, that I needed to do something more meaningful than pursue this whole sex, drugs and rock and roll thing. I want them to have a good future here on earth. I want to try at least to help guide them through a better world than the one I currently see being willfully destroyed through greed, manipulation and stupidity. I am just a singer but I may as well use my voice for good if it can in any way make the world better for them.” On one level, ‘Doomsday Clock’ is about what May sees as the great fallacy of trickle-down economics and the environmental and social destruction it has caused. On another level, it is about the internal and external struggles of seemingly inexplicable existence and how they mirror each other in crisis and rapture. ‘Doomsday Clock’ reveals Abbe May as an artist who is not content to stay silent in a politically conservative and oppressive environment. “I am disturbed by the political climate in

We are being told to fear refugees by the very people we should be focusing our suspicions on - the vast majority of politicians and the big business they work for. They are the ones keeping everyone hungry. They sold us the trickle down lie. Not the refugees. History has shown how conservative governments deliberately fan the flames of the fear of the ‘other’ to keep control and to distract us. They deliberately gut funding for the arts and for education so as to keep us uninformed and therefore unarmed against their policies which are overwhelmingly geared toward creating massive class divide. This is not a time for artists to be silent. We have a job to do.” Abbe May will be playing at The Grand Hotel, Mornington, on Friday 25 November. Tickets at grand.oztix.com.au or www.grand.net.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Inquest held into death of Mrs Sidwell Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE Coroner, Dr Cole, opened an inquest at the Prince of Wales Hotel, Frankston, on Friday, 3rd November, touching the death of Mrs Mary Sidwell, whose dead body was found floating in the Bay near Oliver’s Hill, Frankston, on 2nd November. Dr Maxwell of Frankston deposed that under the instruction of Constable Ryan he had made a post mortem examination of the body of deceased. In his opinion the cause of death was drowning. The body had been in the water apparently about 4 days. Edwin Christie Ryan, Constable of Police, residing at Frankston, deposed: At about 1.30p.m, on Thursday 2nd inst., a man named Thomas McComb informed me that he had heard that there was a dead body floating in the waters of Port Phillip Bay, at Oliver’s Hill, about one mile from Frankston pier. I immediately proceeded to the locality and, after walking along the beach, I saw the body of deceased (since identified as that of Mrs Mary Sidwell) floating on its back, in shallow water, near some rocks. I waded out and brought the body on to the beach. It was clad only in a flannel night dress and rain coat with black stockings and leather shoes on the feet. I carefully examined body, but with the exception of a bruised wound on the right shin and a bruise on the left leg (apparently caused by contact with the rocks) I found no external

signs of violence. The body was swollen and had apparently been in the water for a considerable time. There was a handkerchief with the initials J.R. thereon in the pocket of the rain coat, but nothing else. I removed the body to the Prince of Wales hotel at Frankston and reported by telegraph to the Coroner, and the Russell street police. At about 11 p.m. on the same date, William Sidwell identified the body as that of his wife, Mary Sidwell, who had left her home at 4am on the previous Monday, October 30th. The Coroner gave an order for burial and adjourned the inquest till Monday, 6th November, at the city morgue, when deceased’s husband would be present to give evidence. At the adjourned inquest a verdict of found drowned was recorded. *** AT the recent “Australian Club” fancy dress dance, Miss Gould, dressed as a Scotch Lassie, was successful in securing first prize. *** MESSRS Adamson, Strettle and Co will hold a sale of horses at Tanti on Monday next, when they will have a large yarding of all descriptions comprising draughts, light horses and ponies. *** THE “’Wattle Club” held a dance on Saturday night, October 4th, in aid of the Returned Soldiers’ Entertainment Fund. A happy time was spent. The music

was supplied by Sergt. T. Moir. *** DR J. Fogarty of Chelsea, now on active service with the Australian Forces, has been awarded the Military Cross for his bravery in attending the wounded on the field, under heavy shell fire. With Dr Fogarty’s many Frankston friends we join in hearty congratulations. *** THE contractors are fast pushing on with the Peninsula Motor Garage Pty. Ltd. new garage, at Mornington. The garage, which is in the main street and of brick, is a modern building of which any town might well be proud. *** WE have received a letter signed “Observer,” from Tyabb, complaining of some remarks made by one person to another in the public hall, on the 4th November. As the person to whom the remarks were made let them pass unchallenged we cannot see it is our duty to mix ourselves up in affairs of the kind. *** Children’s Flower Day Friday, Nov 3rd, was the day set apart for Children’s Flower Day on the part of teachers and children of State Schools throughout the State for the benefit of returned soldiers. It was Flower Day in the city, the surburbs, and every town in Victoria. The day was the result of months of effort. Since February last children

in all parts of the State have been carefully cultivating garden plots at school and at home so that at the right moment they might have some thing to offer the public in exchange for money in the cause of Victoria’s fighting sons. The children and teachers of the Frankston State School No 1464 took the matter up most enegetically. At the end of last March a schedule of flowers, pot plants, ornamental trees, shrubs and vegetables was printed and distributed amongst the scholars, and they at once set about the cultivation and care of the various kinds of flowers that they thought would be best adapted to each individual case, and the magnificent display shown in the Mechanics’ Hall on Friday last gave ample evidence of the care and attention they had bestowed on the plants to bring them to the perfection that they had attained. There was a fine display of roses, Ethel Bray being first with the best three varieties and Dorothy Ferguson taking first for the best single bloom. In the open class, Mr A. J. Thomas’ collection of 24 varieties of cut flowers was much admired, also Miss Masterton’s contribution of foliage plants and shrubs (not for competition) was a feature of the show and added greatly to the general effect. The request for flowers from thre proprietors of gardens along the Mornington road was generously responded to and the display of these gifts lent color and variety to the already gay scene.

The judging of the flower and vegetable sections was faithfully performed by Messes Dower and Bailey junr., and gave general satisfaction, as did also Mrs Hartland’s decisions in the classes for cooking. The following ladies presided over the various stalls:— Flower Stall — Miss Keane and Mrs J. A, Cameron; Lolly Stall, Mesdames E M. McComb and Verney and Miss Stewart; refreshment stall, Mrs H. McComb. In addition to the flower show a Queen’s Carnival was held by the scholars in which there was a Queen chosen from each grade, each queen representing a flower. The financial result of the carnival was that £26 6s 4d was added to the gross result. The following are the names of the Queens with the number of votes obtained:—Dorothy Ferguson (roses) 1970; Beatrsce Addicott (carnation) 1399; Moara Cameron (Pansies) 866; Lizzie Hay (Lilac) 505; Ella Dalman (Heather) 468; Jean Cameron, (Forget-not) 429; Byral Hartland (Marurite) 344; Marjorie Willox (sweet pea) 335. Mr Richardson and Miss Keane (the head teacher and his assistant) are to be congratulated on the success that they attained. They threw their best into the effort, and were rewarded by obtaining a result that hardly could be bettered. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 11 November, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

It’s all Nobel now, baby blue By Stuart McCullough WE live in interesting times. Marauding packs of malevolent scary clowns roam the streets for no particular reason. Players of Pokémon Go are in plague proportions and keep trying to convince me that my dog is, in fact, a highly sought after Pokémon. Temperatures and sea levels are rising, the apocalypse edges ever closer and ‘MacGyver’ has been remade for television without the key ingredient that made the original series such a success; namely Richard Dean Anderson’s mullet. Oh, and Bob Dylan has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. I, for one, am delighted. That Bob Dylan should win a Nobel Prize is a wonderful thing. That the announcement should provoke laughter from a number of those assembled just goes to show that the world has more Kajagoogoo fans than we first suspected. But what has followed has been truly astonishing. Turns out that a surprising number of people have unreasonably strong views as to what does and does not constitute literature. In particular, they take issue with whether or not Bob’s work counts as poetry or not. I doubt any of these naysayers own a copy of ‘Blood on the Tracks’. Songwriting is tricky. Anyone can write a song, but writing a great song is an act as difficult as splitting the atom. It’s little short of miraculous. Without doubt, Bob Dylan has written some truly wonderful songs that are equal parts melody and profundity. These are undoubtedly great works of art that left their mark on the twen-

tieth century. That he has the voice of a startled frog after swallowing a handful of gravel shouldn’t really come into it. Granted, not everything he’s written smacks of genius. Some of his songs are downright horrible. I strongly suspect when the committee was wrestling with whether songwriting could be literature, the lyrics to ‘Wiggle, Wiggle’ were not front of

mind. But leaving aside the occasional turkey, why have so many people been so put out by Bob’s honour? Let’s be honest: the world of literature is prone to outlandish acts of snobbery. In fact, the literary world is something of a parallel universe that often prefers to remain cosseted in obscurity, comforted by the fact that very few people either understand or

like their work. It’s tempting, I think, to confuse the fact that no one likes your stuff with the idea that nobody else is smart enough to understand it. These are the people who have been most directly insulted by Bob’s elevation to Nobel Laureate. The ones who don’t accept that the art form is anything more than disposable or, alternatively, that a Grammy should be considered reward enough. Their problem, I feel, is that they are comforted by a narrow approach to what constitutes literature. Personally, I’m delighted that ‘literature’ has been broadened out to members of the entertainment fraternity. Now that Bob has broken through, I see no reason why Jay-Z can’t win next year. His lyrics too are poetic. And, in my experience, poetry readings would be far more interesting if, whilst seated around an open fire, students forgot about Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson for a while and unleashed the first three verses of ‘99 Problems’. It would really complement the wine and cheese. It’s a travesty that pop stars weren’t receiving these awards before now. I demand a recount. Members of the Grateful Dead are natural contenders for the Chemistry Prize. Dr Dre is a shoo-in for the field of Medicine. And that Culture Club did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize for their 1984 single ‘The War Song’ is especially galling, particularly when you consider that it was so plainly awful that it nearly ended their career (although Boy George’s subsequent decision to appear on an episode of the ‘A Team’

didn’t help). While we’re at it, Madonna should be the UN Secretary General. As a bonus, she’d also be less likely to make another album. The strangest criticism of the decision is that Bob Dylan doesn’t need the attention. To the best of my knowledge, whether or not you need publicity isn’t part of the criteria for getting a Nobel. I doubt greatly that anyone would claim Barak Obama was wallowing in obscurity when, in 2008, he was award a Nobel. No, these people are just plain mean-spirited. I, for one, am glad that there’s finally a Nobel winner who has jammed with members of the Rolling Stones. Patrick White and Saul Bellow were responsible for some truly wonderful books, but neither of them ever traded licks at Live Aid with Keith Richards. I rest my case. I guess you’d say I’m biased. That’s because I’m part of a generation that was raised to believe that pop stars could do anything. Relieve famine, protest injustice and give Robbie Williams something useful to do with himself – these achievements would not have been possible if not for popular music. Though apparently there’s a hitch. Bob, it seems, has not returned any phone calls in response to the news. It’s said that the committee feels greatly insulted. He probably just wants to know if the dressing room rider has the right number of brown M & Ms. As well he should. All I can say to members of the Nobel committee is this: welcome to rock and roll. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Close call: Frankston YCW grabbed a win from Dromana, bowling them out eight runs short with one over left in the day. Picture: Rab Siddhi

Sharks dip early in the season PROVINCIAL By IT Gully SORRENTO sits in the bottom half of the MPCA Provincial ladder after being convincingly beaten by Baxter on Saturday. The Sharks resumed at 2/13, chasing Baxter’s first innings total of 7/298. Despite some resistance in the middle order from Liam O’Connor (50) and Bobby Wilson (53), the Sharks were unable to reel in the total. Brandon Rulach also worked hard in the middle order for the Sharks with 36 but it could only drag the total to 223 from 75.1 owners, handing Baxter a 65 run win. Chamika Sattambi finished with 3/35 from 15 overs after snaring 2/7 on the opening day, while Todd

Quinn proved to be the menace with the ball, taking 5/57 from 17.1 overs. Peninsula Old Boys head the logjam at the top of the ladder after easy working over Pines. The Old Boys, Mornington, Baxter, Langwarrin and Pearcedale are all on 30 points after three rounds, while Mt Eliza is on 26 points, which is just the start they needed. Defending 5/345 against Pines, Peninsula Old Boys made reasonably light work of defending the total. With Pines’ skipper Craig Entwhistle unable to bat, that made the home team’s batting line up vulnerable. When star recruit Damien Lawrence was sent packing for a duck, the task of getting the required runs was always going to be tough. Rhys Chalkley was strong with 60 and Harley Peace-Stirling was good

with 57, however there was no other resistance offered. Pines was bowled out for 197 after 65 overs. Adam Gailitis started the damage for POB and he finished with the mighty figures of 5/43 from 18.2 overs. Callum Parton snared 2/37 from 12 overs to have 6/64 off 20 overs for the season. The impressive Mornington bowling line up was too slick for Somerville on Saturday, rolling them for 161. With 254 already in the scorebook, the Doggies’ attack went about dismantling the Eagles batting line up. Skipper Matt Foon was the pick of the bowlers once again with a staggering 3/10 from eight overs. Rob O’Toole helped himself to 3/37 from 15, Leigh Lambert claimed 2/35 and

Luke Popov 2/43. Matty Roach was the best of the Somerville bats with 54. Langwarrin made light work of Crib Point at the nest. Never an easy task at Crib Point, the Kangas ripped through the Pies in 59.5 overs for just 145, recording a win by almost 100 runs (245). Joel Bateman was superb at the beginning of the innings with 3/9 from eight overs while skipper Trav Campbell set the tone early, claiming 3/36 from 14 overs. Jake Prosser was also solid snaring 2/25 from 9.5 overs. Mt Eliza sits just where it wants to after winning outright against Long Island. Defending 6/196, the Mounties rolled the Islanders twice in one day for 81 in 36 overs and 79 (39 overs).

Shaun Knott picked up 3/22 from 18 overs and Justin Savio snared 3/26 in the first innings, while Justin Grant and Nick Baron took 2/23 and 2/2 respectively. Andrew Tweddle top scored for the Islanders with 19. In the second innings, Knott took 5/19 off 12.2, giving him 8/41 for the match, while Baron snared 3/7 from eight overs, giving him match figures of 5/9. Peter Connell top scored for the Islanders in the second innings with 29. A great knock of 79 to Max Blackburn and 61 to Will Kennedy helped Pearcedale record a strong victory against Moorooduc. Chasing 240 for victory, the Panthers got the runs in the 58th over. Nathan Hangan was the pick of the Ducs’ bowlers with3/39.

to get themselves back into the game and while it looked mighty shaky at times with the scorecard reading 3/41, 4/62, 5/83, 6/100, Dart was able to get them over the line with good support when it mattered from Nick Esipoff. Liam O’Halloran picked up 2/28 for the Tigers and Max Watters claimed 2/44 from 21 overs. Mt Martha wasted no time picking up the outright victory against Rye. The Demons resumed on 4/20 in its second innings after being bowled out for 79 in the first innings. Mt Martha responded with 9/115. The Demons were bowled out for

85 in their second innings, giving the Reds 50-odd to get to pick up the win. They scored 0/51 with skipper Mitchel Darville unbeaten on 31. Heatherhill also picked up an outright victory against Seaford. The Hills resumed at 5/188 after rolling Seaford for 109 in the first innings. They finished on 8/283 before sending the home side back in. Despite 107 runs from opener Ryan McQueen in the second innings and 55 from Ian Rowe, Seaford was still bowled out for 200 in 63.2 overs. Jake Theobald took 4/30 for the Hills. Needing 27 to win, the Hills racked

up 2/32 in 2.1 overs to claim the outright. Delacombe Park smashed Baden Powell. After scoring 316 in their first innings, the Parkers had the visitors 1/10 overnight. The Braves were rolled for 101, Dean Blight claiming 3/32, Aaron Aughtie 3/24 and Rob Fisher 2/27. The Braves fared better in their second innings, finishing the day at 1/81. Flinders did what it needed to do against Rosebud. Just. Chasing 185 for victory, the visitors picked up the win in the last over of the day.

Andrew Power (41) and Tim Clements (48) were catalysts in the win, while an unbeaten 20 from Mason Mail and unbeaten 24 from Max Royal helped guide the Sharks over the line. Billy Quigley was the best of the Rosebud bowlers with 4/58 from 26 overs. Main Ridge picked up the important 12 points against Boneo. Chasing 134 for victory, Main Ridge scored 6/168 in 61 overs before sending the pandas back into bat. Boneo scored 3/167 in its second dig, Chris Jobling hitting an unbeaten 73 and Ryan Jellie hitting 58.

Hillmen set the early tone DISTRICT By IT Gully RED Hill has already opened up a gap on the ladder against the rest of the MPCA District teams after the conclusion of the third round. The Hillmen sit on 44 points, a game clear of Mt Martha (32), while Flinders (30) and Heatherhill (26) make up the top four. Red Hill were too good for Seaford Tigers on Saturday. Skipper Simon Dart hit an unbeaten 101 as the visitors took their time getting to 6/151 in 65 overs to get the 12 points. Resuming at 2/14, Red Hill needed

Frogs, Blues lead the way SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK and Hastings stand alone at the top of the MPCA Sub District ladder after the opening three rounds of the season. Tootgarook recorded an easy victory of Skye on Saturday to shoot to the top of the table while Hastings won a tight match against Balnarring. There is then a log-jam of five teams a game behind on 18 points. Balnarring offered plenty of resistance in its game against the Hastings. The Blues scored 245 on the opening day of the match and had the Saints reeling at 3/26 overnight. However, the home side dug deep and got within 15 runs of victory, eventually being bowled out for 231 in the 62nd over. Mitch Floyd was the pick of the bowlers for the Blues with 4/77 from 22 overs, while Luke Hewitt claimed 3/50 and Isuru Dias 3/44. Tootgarook, as expected, made light work of Skye. Defending 221 for victory, the Frogs rolled Skye for 130. Pat Beckham was the best of the Skye batsmen with 30. Frankston YCW won a thriller against Dromana.

Defending 232, the Stonecats rolled the Hoppers for 225 with one over left in the day. The home side had a terrible start after resuming one wicket down on the second day, losing Adam Ciavarella early too. Kierran Voelkl (70) and Jedd Savage (72) then went about getting the Hoppers back into the match. The match see-sawed from that point, Dromana eventually bowled out eight runs shy of winning. Brett Hudgson was vintage for the Stonecats with 6/69 from 29 overs while Sam Fulton claimed 3/44 from 22 overs. Ballam Park kept their early season alive with a god win against Carrum. A half century to Stuart Plunkett, 37 from Steve Worthington and 34 from David Cross ensured that the Knights got the required runs to win the match. Defending 156 was always going to be a tough ask for Carrum, despite having the Knights two down overnight. Ballam Park scored 180 in 73 overs. Tyabb eased to victory against Carrum Downs. With 315 runs on the board, the Yabbies dismissed the Cougars for 194. Skipper Noel Wylie was the best of the Tyabb bowlers with 4/47.
