Surprise, it’s Santa, with Salvos and samoyeds THERE’S Santa, he’s on a sleigh, but where are the reindeer? Instead of antlers and red noses, Mt Eliza’s Santa called on a pack of trusty samoyeds, a dog originally bred by Siberian reindeer herders.

Obeying the road rules, the trusty pack took Santa and his retinue across the pedestrian crossing and into the shopping centre where parents and children took delight in patting the dogs, saying hello to Santa and taking selfies with their mobile phones.

Instead of meeting and greeting Rudolph or Donner and Blitzen, the children were told to call the dogs such names as Yuki, Roma and Tess.

While the frenzy occurred around the sleigh stilt walkers, jazz musicians and the Mornington Salvation Army’s brass ensemble added to the festive spirit. Pictures: Yanni

Peninsula on map for climate efforts Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Mornington Peninsula has been recognised internationally as one of “two leading Australian councils” for its efforts to minimise climate change.

An invitation for the shire to commit to a Compact of Mayors follows the attendance at this month’s Paris climate talks by the mayor Cr Graeme Pittock, Cr Hugh Fraser and the shire’s renewable resources team leader, Jessica Wingad, who was there to “learn the latest global trends and their potential application locally”.

However, two councillors have now publicly criticised the Paris trip as being a waste of time and money.

Cr Pittock and Cr Fraser have said they will repay any costs that exceed the $16,000 allowed to be spent over their four-year terms.

It is understood that it cost the shire about $6000 for each of its three representatives to attend the United Nations climate change conference (COP21).

Countries represented at the talks unanimously approved the COP 21 Paris Agreement which “strives to limit global warming to well below two degrees Celsius, with the intent to pursue a 1.5-degree target”.

Cr Pittock said his attendance at the conference ensured “that the voices of local leaders are heard, and city efforts, like those here at Mornington Peninsu-

la Shire Council, are recognised”.

The first news release about the talks issued by the shire included verbatim descriptions of Australia’s climate change strategies supplied by the office of Flinders MP and Environment Minister, Greg Hunt.

Last Thursday Cr David Garnock, within hours of the shire announcing the Compact of Mayors commitment and efforts already undertaken to achieve carbon neutrality, said it had not been necessary for the mayor to go to Paris to sign up for the compact.

“These initiatives are a result of the enthusiasm of all councillors and senior shire officers to protect our precious environment on the peninsula, not as a result of the occasional participation of councillors or shire officers at international conferences,” Cr Garnock said.

His comments followed those made in the previous week by Cr Andrew Dixon who claimed a post-Paris public briefing had been organised by the mayor “so that [the public] believe our Paris journey was totally hip and worth it”. On Facebook under the name “Billy Dixon”, Cr Dixon said those at the meeting would be buttered up with “free booze”.

“I'm sure we had a phenomenal impact on global energy policies, but you'll hear all about it at our cute little slideshow,” Cr Dixon stated in response to an invitation from the mayor for the public to attend an “open presentation” of the Paris climate talks.

Salvos offer to help on big night out THE Salvation Army is planning to bring peace to Main St Mornington over six normally hectic summer Saturday nights.

Starting on Saturday 2 January, the Salvos will create a “safe zone” based around a yellow food van where young people can take time out.

Once at the van they will be offered a free bottle of water, a snack and even advice.

If successful, the safe zone will be continued beyond the first six Saturday nights of 2016.

“We want the people in our community to have a good time, but we also want them to have a safe time,” Sean Mapleback, of the Mornington Salvos, said.

Called Main Street Salvos, the project has been nine months in planning and, according to Mr Mapleback, has

police backing.

He said the safe zone will operate 10pm-2am, a time that Main St that is regularly filled with up to 1000 people.

“I think this will be a great opportunity for our community to come together and promote unity and safety, so I am really excited that the time has finally arrived after many months of planning,” Mr Mapleback said.

He said power for the van was being supplied by eview real estate and Mornington Football and Netball Club (Mr Mapleback is the club chaplain) had donated Hydralyte icy-pole sticks “which will be ideal in cooling people down and rehydrating them on a hot summer’s night”.

“We are so grateful for the community support we have already received to make this project a possibility. However if there are others in our community who would like to get involved and support the initiative donations towards or supplies of water bottles, and wrapped snacks like would go a long way in providing our safe space,” Mr Mapleback said.

Mornington Secondary College YEAR 12 student Saskia Bauer Lodge was named Mornington Secondary College dux after scoring an impressive ATAR of 95.6 in this year’s VCE exams.

“This result is down to hard work, great friends and the support of my teachers and family,” she said.

The college celebrated record breaking VCE results with seven students achieving an ATAR score of 90 and above.

Saskia was joined in the 90s club by Stuart Boyd, Hannah Chambers, Bailey Brown, Bonnie Hillman, Louisa Malone and Bastian Merson.

“The results headline an impressive academic year for MSC’s industrious class of 2015 as many more students

NEWS DESK Shire on map after Paris talks Continued from Page 3 The Compact of Mayors is an agreement drawn up by ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability and sees the peninsula sign up with cities such as Copenhagen, New York, Oslo, San Francisco, Buenos Aires and Cape Town. The other Australian municipality is the Western Australian city of Joondalup.

The organisation was founded in 1990 as the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) when 200 local governments agreed to aim for “sustainable development” at a conference at the United Nations in New York.

A news release issued by the shire on Thursday states that the shire had “fast-tracked” its way to compliance in a matter of months after years of investment and real action on climate.

The process outlined by ICLEI usually takes three years.

ICLEI says Mornington Peninsula and Joondalup, having achieved compliance, are undergoing a final audit against the international standard before being listed on the official compact website.

Examples of the shire’s efforts to ward off climate change include working with the CSIRO and the South East Councils Climate Change Alliance (SECCCA) understand the impact of climate change over the next 70 years; using methane gas at the Rye landfill to generate enough electricity to power about 1400 homes; cutting the size of its vehicle fleet; and undertaking such renewable energy projects as buying solar power for 11 community halls and installing solar street lights.

Time out with dogs, children THERE is an old adage in television about not working with kids or animals, but that is exactly what Mt Eliza Rotary Club plans to do next year for its two main fundraising events.

On Sunday 6 March the club will hold its Dogs in the Park expo, with plenty of family fun and many “not too serious” competitions for dogs and their owners.

There will be food and coffee stalls, face painting for children and an animal farm 11am-2.30pm at the John Butler Reserve, Mt Eliza. Entry is free and there will be a small fee for participation in the various events.

On Sunday 17 April, 10am-1pm

the Rotary club, in conjunction with the Mornington Railway Preservation Society, is conducting its inaugural Kids Fun Run With K163.

Up to 300 children aged up to 12 years will race the historic steam engine K163 alongside a small section of track now being prepared at Moorooduc station.

Mt Eliza Rotary president Bernie Edwards says the two fundraising events are designed to provide fun and entertainment for the children, families and friends.

“Their presence will help to support Rotary's ongoing community efforts so everyone is a winner,” he said.

Borders of protection for troubled plovers THEY may look like balls of fluff standing on legs thinner than matchsticks, but there are many hands willing to help the endangered hooded plover.

It is a bird that nests precariously close to the ocean’s edge and lays a camouflaged egg that is hard to discern from its surroundings on the sand.

Also prey to many natural enemies the odds seem stacked against the hooded plover, but as its annual nesting season gets underway concerned plover lovers are erecting fences on beaches and making wooden shelters to provide protection for the anticipated chicks.

On Monday members of the Friends of the Hooded Plover group were at Gunnamatta, driving fencing posts into the sand and unrolling wire to keep unwary or careless beachgoers away from nesting birds.

Flotsam left behind by the latest high tides show just how close the nests are to being swept away.

But year after year the plovers return to this windswept beach, albeit in ever decreasing numbers.

Although dogs are banned at Gunnamatta, the chicks and eggs are sought out morsels to foxes, cats, seagulls, magpies and ravens.

The previous Friday the Hastingsbased Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association held a workshop to make shelters for the chicks.

The workshop was sponsored by the Port Phillip and Western Port Catchment Management Authority and involved Indigenous people and Landcare groups.

Hawk collects rig and heads out THE oil and gas drilling rig that towered over the low lying foreshore of Phillip Island before appearing to hover for days in the early morning mists of Port Phillip is finally on its way back home to Singapore.

With its drilling duties for Origin and Hibiscus Oil in Bass Strait completed, the rig was last week taken on board by the heavy lift vessel Hawk before heading out of Port Phillip on Tuesday.

Equipment was taken from the rig before it was welded to the Hawk’s deck for transport.

The 223 metre, 44, 700 tonne Hawk sails at about 12 knots compared with the three knots that would be achieved if the rig was towed by tugs to Singapore.

The rig is owned by Seadrill Ltd and is scheduled to be back at its Singapore base in early January. The Hawk is owned by OHT (offshore heavy transport).

No quick fix for power grid COMMENT

Useable art: Recliner chairs and table made by wine barrel artist Carl Smith.

Barrel art display at show THE News Mornington Art Show opening on Thursday 21 January and running through to Australia Day will feature a display and sale of recycled oak barrel furniture.

The concept of creating quality furniture from used wine barrels is a creative initiative of Frankston based furniture maker Carl Smith.

After completing school and working in the construction industry for more than decade, Mr Smith decided on a career change to capitalise on his passion for working with wood.

On seeing a fruit bowl made from the staves of a used wine barrel at Christmas a few years ago he realised he wanted to pursue this area of manufacture.

From there he formed Barrel Art Designs and, over the past two or three years, he has developed the concept with more than 40 designs in his product range.

From simple wine-glass-and-bottle holders, serving boards and clocks, through to tables, bar stools, wine racks and the popular range of “loafer chairs”, Mr Wood’s designs have a timeless, rustic appeal. Mostly made from oak, the products are strong and durable.

He has regular stalls at Red Hill, Mornington and Yarra Glen craft markets, and his work can also be found in selected galleries and art shows.

The work of this young designer/ furniture maker will feature on stage at the Mornington Art Show.

Opening night on Thursday 21 January will have a party atmosphere.

The Bakery Trio jazz group will provide some cool music to accompany gourmet finger food and refreshments.

Tickets for the gala opening night can be purchased on line at morningtonartshow.com.au or at Farrell’s Bookshop.

By David Harrison UNITED Energy recently letterboxed areas of the Mornington Peninsula with a letter informing householders of the diligent work it is doing in supplying safe and reliable power.

Some readers were less than impressed. Overnight a power cut had set every electronic clock in the district flashing. Again.

Also flashing, at the top of White Hill Rd and at the Red Hill village end of Arthurs Seat Rd, were the large signs advising that power line work was continuing “July to December”.

The month had recently been revised from “November”. Will it become “January” in a week or two?

About this time it was reported that many kilometres of United Energy overhead power lines needed to be replaced on the peninsula because they posed a bushfire risk.

And on December 1 The News reported that “linemen are scrambling to replace up to 30 kilometres of faulty power lines on the Mornington Peninsula amid fears they could cause bushfires”.

Several concerned residents wrote to United Energy stating there was “evidence that the ABC [twisted aerial bundled cable] power lines are faulty and explode periodically causing fires”.

They said a bushfire on 9 November was “a consequence of a failure of your power lines in Main Creek Rd”.

United Energy did not respond to The News before deadline – including questions about the safety of the

ABC cable, some of which is barely five years old and said to have faulty insulation.

The company, which is responsible for all the peninsula’s poles and wires, tells a glowing story on its website.

Under the heading “Bushfire mitigation” it states: We are committed to operating our network in full compliance with the requirements of the Act and regulations administered by Energy Safe Victoria (ESV).

“Due to prevailing weather conditions and country environments conducive to bushfires, we acknowledge the need to act proactively in designing and operating our assets to minimise the possibility of a bushfire ignition. “… [W]e acknowledge our responsibility to the local community to consider all relevant practical technologies available to minimise bushfire risk.”

Its website is silent on problems with its poles and wires. Some wires are estimated to be up to 30 years old.

It is also silent on what is believed to be a growing power supply crisis in the Blairgowrie-Portsea area.

The electricity grid problem coincides with release of a major new study that has found that humans are responsible for some 70 per cent of bushfires in south-east Australia.

The International Journal of Wildland Fund stated that population density explained the fire pattern in NSW and Victoria, the ABC reported.

"The higher the population density the more ignitions you get," according to lead author Kathryn Collins of the University of Wollongong's centre for

environmental risk management of bushfires.

Official data from more than 113,000 bushfires between 1997 and 2009 across the two states indicated that 47 per cent were from accidental causes such as cigarettes, escaped burn-offs and campfires or sparks from equipment or powerlines.

Forty per cent were deliberately lit and 13 per cent were caused by lightning strikes, the study found.

The cause of 31 per cent of fires was undetermined.

The News reported Nepean MP Martin Dixon saying the Red Hill and Main Ridge power lines came from a “faulty batch that had not lasted as long as they were expected to and had already caused fires” – even though extra insulation was supposed to improve their fire safety capabilities.

The insulation appeared to be perishing quickly and breaking away and exposing the wires, which he described as “a recipe for disaster”.

Mr Dixon, scheduled to get a full briefing from United Energy last week, said he would be seeking to meet Energy and Resources Minister Lily D’Ambrosio and the Ombudsman on the issue.

On Friday afternoon Mr Dixon issued the following: “Further to my statements in the Parliament I have had no response from Minister D’Ambrosio in relation to replacing these faulty cables as a priority, and I am still awaiting a more detailed briefing prior to Christmas from United Energy officers.”

Restaurant staff loss hard to swallow Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE owner of Sorrento restaurant Acquolina Brett Johnson admits to being “shell-shocked” at the defection of 13 experienced kitchen staff to rival, The Sisters Kitchen Garden Cafe.

Their surprise departure last week has forced the temporary closure of his and partner Maria Grazia Baiguini’s fine dining restaurant at the busiest time of the year and caused a spat between the two popular eateries.

“We simply can’t find staff at this late stage so it was better to close temporarily and reopen on Boxing Day,” Mr Johnson said. “We will reopen and do something simple, such as serving fresh lasagne, ravioli, risotto and pasta plates.”

While on his regular visits to Italy Mr Johnson arranges for Italian staff to work at Acquolina and arranges accommodation.

He said the visitors were free to work elsewhere as long as it didn’t affect their roles at Acquolina.

However this year the system appears to have broken down and the staff have defected and found other places to stay through their new employer.

“The Italians often worked elsewhere out of hours and the arrangement had seemed to be working well,” Sorrento chamber of commerce vice-president Marc Clavin said. “Now that seems to have been undone.”

The spirit of cooperation among the town’s traders following the razing of The Baths restaurant late October has been shattered at the start of the six-week period in which they make twothirds of their annual income.

Mr Clavin said the loss of The Baths had left Acquolina as one of the few fine dining restaurants in the town “and now it’s a tragedy that another one in the main street has been lost”.

“Brett and Maria are right in the middle of the strip and the potential knock-on effect to other businesses is of concern.”

In the short term, Mr Johnson says Acquolina’s trading hours will be 11am-9pm rather than only at night, and revert to its former style and times in February.

“It’s certainly been a stressful time and my Christmas cheer level did drop a notch, but we have begun to come out the other side,” Mr Johnson said.

“There’s no animosity; we are looking forward now, not back.”

Mr Johnson saying his restaurant usually did 35 per cent of its trade in December.

“We should be working together in such a small town rather than fighting each other,” he said.

Pippa Robinson, of The Sisters, denies “poaching” staff from her up-market rival, and says only five of the 13 made the move.

“We are only open for breakfast and lunch and they open for dinner, so I really don’t know what the issue is,” she said.

“I got texts from all their [Acquolina’s] staff asking me for jobs here.

“Brett [Johnson] came to see me and made a scene and said I had stolen his staff. I said, ‘No, they came over to me voluntarily.

“They said they had all been fired, so there was no poaching.”

In the wake of the staffing row, Ms Robinson said The Sisters was expecting to open for dinner from Boxing Day onwards.

LETTERS Shocking losses The article “Gamblers lose $79m to peninsula pokies” (The News 17/11/15) makes for distressing reading. Behind those figures are many devastated families affected by gambling on poker machines.

Maybe many people are not aware that one of the biggest poker machine owners in our area is Woolworths supermarkets.

The very company that trades on family values owns 12,000 poker machines and is earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from some of the poorest regions because of the concentration of its poker machines in low income areas.

In my nearest township alone, Somerville, $5.7 million of was lost in one hotel controlled by the supermarket just around the corner, Woolworths.

But there is a way we can use our consumer power to make a protest about the scourge of poker machines in our society. Many people like me may choose to boycott Woolworths and therefore send a clear message to them that we think a company that supposedly cares about families shouldn’t be involved in poker machines.

Talk costs worthwhile The attendance of councillors and staff at the Paris climate change talks in Paris was money well spent and will provide some valuable local insights into how climate change will impact the Mornington Peninsula in particular, and the Port Phillip region in general.

Australia, with the highest per capita emissions of all OECD countries, was dragged kicking and screaming to the negotiation table in Paris, and it was seen that the Australian government was extremely reluctant to make any concessions to reduce emissions from Australia’s fossil fuelled economy. The intransigence, incompetence and grossly inadequate carbon abatement policies of the government, particularly those propagandised by Environment Minister Greg Hunt, illustrates that the federal government’s actions are absolutely useless when it comes to reducing carbon emissions.

Future emissions reductions will come mainly from local and regional initiatives such as solar and wind. The big fossil fuel burners who the government supports, will continue to pollute

PAGE 16

Mornington News 22 December 2015

over many decades.

The government is committed to delay and obfuscation, preferring coal over renewable energy.

Everyone will suffer. Many of your correspondents do not understand this, and castigate the council for taking action on the local implications of climate change.

Unless members of the community take action to curb their affluent lifestyle and take responsibility for reducing their carbon footprint, current federal government policies will invariably lead to increased and unsustainable resource consumption, higher energy use and more carbon emissions. Right around Australia, many local governments provide leadership and beneficial community projects to reduce carbon emissions, and provide local opportunities. We should expect no less from the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. Its recent carbon neutral strategy and overseas fact finding are necessary first steps. Councillors now need to walk the talk, involve the community and allocate significant community project budget funds.

Ken Dyer, Rosebud

Staying on topic Michael G Free (“Wasted words”, The News 15/12/15) must think when it comes to replies in the newspapers that one size fits all. Michael G Free, apart from the heading and date, sent the very same letter some weeks ago in reply to my comments on climate change. This time, he’s a little bit closer to the topic.

Michael G Free doesn’t have to lecture me about how politics operate as I was involved with a political party for some years down here. He is right, the major parties do control the Lower House most time, but, sometimes independents, these (“Blowhards and single issue parties”, his words) get in on single issues and can sway a decision one way or the other by doing deals with said major parties.

But, the Upper House is different as it has proportional representation where single issue parties can get in on one per cent of the vote, such as Ricky Muir along with others in the Senate and the Sex Party in the Legislative Assembly (the Upper House) thanks to the “preference whisperer” who instructed these candidates to swap preferences.

So, these people can change policies to get what they want.

Peninsula plovers A big thank you to the teacher volunteers from The Peninsula School, Mt Eliza, who visited peninsula ocean beaches to do a beach clean last Wednesday.

After a briefing by Parks Victoria, it was off to gather rubbish from Rye, St Andrews and Gunnamatta ocean beaches with members of Friends of the Hooded Plover.

Michael G Free mentions lost causes, including Tassells Creek and Blue Wedges, but, he fails to mention the successes: Rosebud marina, fail; SPA on the Rosebud foreshore, fail; East West Link, fail.

Incidentally, I had claimed there was a $400 million debt to all Victorians thanks to the Napthine government but only last week, he debt has blown out to $1.1 billion. Which brings me back to my point, which Michael G Free didn’t address: We need to be a marginal seat. And, also to Michael G Free, I have never

This is territory of the endangered hooded plover, the peninsula’s true local, a shorebird that desperately need our help to survive. Chick numbers are declining rapidly and suffer from many threats, such as foxes and dogs wandering loose in Mornington Peninsula National Park.

Rubbish can be another threat to shorebirds.

The teachers spent all day collecting rubbish and learning about the endangered birds.

Images reflect knowledge of ‘special’ place MATT Mackay spends a lot of time taking note of the weather and its effects on the scenery. A surfer based in Sorrento, he seeks out tide times and wind speeds.

As a photographer, he uses all this knowledge to compose scenes through a camera lens.

“I’ve built up a strong connection with the Mornington Peninsula’s coastal and marine environment,” he says.

“My main focus is on nature and landscape photography, that’s what inspires me photographically and it’s where like to spend much of my time.”

Mackay says this connection to the environment is necessary to “truly capture its essence”.

“I can’t imagine living away from the sight, sound and smell of the ocean and, being a narrow peninsula, we’re fortunate to be surrounded by both the pounding waves of the Southern Ocean and the calmer tranquil waters of Port Philip.

“We’re also very fortunate to have much of this spectacular coastline within the Mornington Peninsula and Point Nepean national parks, providing sanctuary to a range of native flora and fauna.

“With such a diverse landscape

and coastline the peninsula offers endless possibilities and inspiration for a nature and landscape photographer like me.”

Some of Mackay’s images are now reproduced in his 2016 Mornington Peninsula Calendar.

“It’s a way to showcase the region’s beauty and diverse landscape,” he says.

“It came as no surprise when National Geographic placed the peninsula on its Best of the World – 20 Places You Should See in 2015 list.”

Mackay’s calendar includes images from all over the peninsula, has the Port Philip Heads monthly tide chart on each page and lists market dates and other useful information. He says he “tried to produce the most environmentally-friendly calendar-printed in Australia” by using 100 per cent recycled paper and waterless printing.

COMPLEMENTED by a natural bush setting, that is still only minutes from Hastings or Bittern, this superb country haven is set within a secluded garden oasis. The home has been crafted from 100 year old red brick and is surrounded by beautiful wisteria and other flowering blooms, with the 8000 square metre block also home to an orchard and two fenced paddocks. A circular tree-lined drive loops around in front of the home, with a further access track heading up to a detached double garage and two other outbuildings – one with power. The most striking aspect of the home from the exterior is the mass of outdoor entertaining space

where a wonderful verandah, embracing the home on two sides, merges with a vast alfresco deck and a huge rotunda that overlooks the gardens. From the East wing, there is a massive parents retreat – or perfect home office – that connects with the main bedroom featuring a walk-in robe and ensuite. Two more bedrooms both have built-in robes and share a lovely character-filled bathroom with spa bath, and a separate study could be a fourth bedroom if required.

Other wet areas include the huge laundry with a brilliant amount of bench and cupboard space. The timber kitchen is framed with hand-crafted tiles acting as splashbacks and

appliances include a dishwasher and wall oven. There is a handy amount of bench and cupboard space also and the wonderful thick benchtops bear the marks of many a fabulous meal. There is an adjoining dining area, and the lovely family room has a charming open fire place set into a brick feature wall. As with most rooms, the formal lounge has a distinct colonial influence with sash windows and dramatic leadlight and timber finishes. Blessed with a wonderful rustic touch, this idyllic property is your opportunity to obtain a peaceful country lifestyle on the peninsula.

Take a bow: Shire Meals on Wheels volunteers celebrate at The Victoriana, Hastings.

Festive thanks to meals volunteers ABOUT 90 volunteers from Mornington Peninsula Shire’s meals on wheels service found themselves on the other side of the table when they were recognised with a celebratory Christmas lunch at The Victoriana, Hastings, on Tuesday.

The service delivers more than 1400 meals a week all year through the efforts of its 130 volunteers.

“Without the support and dedication of the Meals on Wheels volunteers the service couldn’t operate as it does,” the mayor Cr Graham Pittock said.

“The daily contact and monitoring of clients is integral to the volunteer role. By delivering nourishing meals the service and its volunteers allow clients to remain living independently in their own homes for as long as possible.

To volunteer to help with the meals service call 5950 1600.

Paving, the way for protest PLANS to build footpaths with costs being part-charged to property owners are a sure fire way of attracting submissions and petitions addressed to Mornington Peninsula Shire.

In the latest round of footpath special charge schemes approved by the shire objectors were mostly losers, although one case has proved costly to the shire.

A “typographical error” has seen a 42 per cent blowout in the cost of a footpath in South Rd, Rosebud.

Under the council’s own rules, any cost variation above five per cent has to be paid by the shire and cannot be passed on to contributors to the special charge scheme. However, such increases are ultimately charged to all ratepayers, council’s main source of revenue.

The South Rd footpath was a 25-75 per cent

split between council and property owners and the $56,715 mistake will be picked up by the shire.

Councillors were wrongly told that the cost would be $135,000 when the final bill was $191,715.

“The higher actual cost is primarily due to a typographical error in earlier reports to council,” infrastructure strategy project manager Jeremy Grieve said in a report to council’s 14 December meeting.

At McCrae, Mr Grieve said a 140-signature petition opposing a footpath being built in Coburn Av was received nearly four months after the closing date was based on a point of law that did not apply to the scheme.

Council decided to go ahead with the $410,820 scheme, with $271,141 being levied

among 149 properties judged to benefit from its completion.

Other footpath schemes given the go ahead by council include Coppin Rd, Sorrento, for $371,130 with property owners to pay $185,565.

In Dromana ratepayers in Beach and Gibson streets will pay $118,117 of the $56,210 cost and in Wandella Rd, Mornington they will pay $85,200 of $125,000.

In Keogh St, Rosebud and Elizabeth St, Mornington ratepayers are being charged extra because the thickness of concrete was increased from 75 millimetres “to 125 millimetres due to an amendment to the footpath construction standards to better reflect current strength requirements”, Mr Grieve said in his report.

Traders lose to seige Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au RYE traders are counting their losses in the wake of a siege on Saturday 5 December when a man held two women hostage for almost eight hours.

Police closed Point Nepean Rd between Weeroona and Weir streets and evacuated shops, including those at the Safeway shopping complex, when a 69-year-old man armed with lowcalibre weapons was seen entering the Little Beach Cafe, Point Nepean Rd, at 7.45am.

While no one was injured, the same can’t be said for traders’ cash registers: Not only did they lose a day’s takings, ruined stock and wasted staff wages, but many are finding they cannot claim the losses on their insurance.

Their policies honour claims only after 48 hours’ loss of trade – not eight hours – making the losses even more galling because that Saturday was tipped to be one of the busiest in the lead-up to Christmas.

Anton Vigenser, of Freaky Tiki cafe, said he lost “a couple of thousand” on

the day, as well as the cost of ruined stock.

“We were 15 minutes into being open with all the food out of the fridge and serving customers when we got the call to leave,” Mr Vigenser said.

“Don’t get me wrong, it was a serious situation and the police were there doing their job – but it was frustrating for traders.”

He said he had to “press a police woman to speak with her supervisor” so that he could return to his shop to turn off the oven. “It would not have been ideal to leave all that food burning and possibly causing a fire in that situation.”

Mr Vigenser said 13 shops were affected by the siege shutdown, including Woolworths, whose management said the store was closed for 10 hours.

A spokeswoman for the insurance company (which did not want to be identified) where many of the traders have policies, said the wording of the policy was crucial. “To be successful, a claim for business interruption insurance has to be the result of an actual or physical threat to the property, such as a storm, fire or bomb threat,” she said.

The policies contain a 48-hour excess period.

“Traders need to prove that the threat is to their property, and that it covers prevention of action over that time,” she said.

She admitted the clauses contained “grey areas” and said some traders had discussed claiming compensation from the gunman, but predicted this would be unlikely to succeed.

Meanwhile, Mr Vigenser is lamenting his lost day’s trade.

“We hung about,” he said. “We went to the indoor market hoping it would all blow over in a couple of hours, but then I was again told I wasn’t allowed in, so I went home.

“Later I called a staff member after it was all over and we went down and closed up. It was a totally wasted day.”

Police commander Inspector Karen Nyholm, described the siege as a “volatile situation” on the day. She later issued an open letter thanking the public for “their understanding and support of our need to keep the area shut down at what should have been a busy Saturday morning for local traders, residents and visitors.”

House sale has added bonus EVIEW Real Estate Group Mornington has made one vendor especially happy, with the successful completion of the Win A Mazda promotion, which was drawn on Sunday 6 December.

The competition had been running since July and was open to any homeowner who listed and sold their property through Eview Mornington.

About 96 properties were listed and

sold during the five month promotion.

Margaret Hudson, who sold her Harrap Rd, Mt Martha, property in July, won the Mazda CX3 Neo. Eview sales consultant Jarod Joseph was the listing agent for Mrs Hudson’s property which was among the first entries received. Mrs Hudson had chosen Jarod after he had sold her son’s house earlier in the year.

Beach works ready WORKS at Mills Beach, Mornington, have been completed as part of stage one of the foreshore landscape master plan. They include paving, outdoor seating, blue stone retaining wall, pedestrian access ramp, re-vegetation of foreshore garden areas and link from the car park to the Mornington Lifesaving Club.

The coloured concrete pavers bring a fresh look to the area.

Stage two works, now in the design phase, will include resealing and reconstruction of the car park and relocation of barbecue facilities. They are expected to start after summer.

SUMMER ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE

Mornington to host Silvers Circus in 2016 ESTABLISHED in 1976, Silvers Circus provides world class family entertainment and fun.

With extraordinary artists continually arriving from all parts of the world, Silvers are proud of the ever-changing program they are able to present.

After nearly three decades on the road, Silvers is a household name in Australia. They still maintain the sparkle, glamour and death-defying acts expected of Australia’s premier circus.

The 2 hour action-packed show, featuring Ringmaster and Master of Illusions Simon Tait, will also include the Wheel of Steel. A young man with nerves of Steel, Dominik Gasser will run, jump, skip and flip through a routine of sheer physical audacity. Its wheels oscillate and revolve from ground level to dizzying heights – such a spectacle is bound to leave you chewing your nails and squirming in your seats.

Also... clowns. Expect the unexpected.

They’re guaranteed to tickle the funny bone, as is the circus’ latest addition to their repertoire of physical and comedic exploits.

It’s called the Bicycle Act. Justin Valise, its demonstrator, is a professional idiot, specialising in stupidity and acrobatics on a bicycle. Trained at the school of hard knocks and inspired by Murphy’s Law (what can go wrong will go wrong), Justin has created an act that wrestles with the unexpected and really raises the bar.

With hard work and some measure of good fortune, Justin has managed to combine the theatricality of a modern day fool with the physical skills of an acrobat to create distinctive and engaging entertainment.

For tickets to 2016’s Silvers Circus, see Ticketmaster or call the circus direct on 0413 880 044 or 0400 456 157.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston post office phone stops Compiled by Melissa Walsh WITH this issue we present our readers with a sheet almanac for 1916. *** THE room heater raffled by Mrs C Grant, for the Somerville Red Cross Society, was won by Miss Nellie Bell. *** THE annual balance sheet of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings is published on the fourth part of this issue. *** “THE liquor traffic is the most powerful as it is one of the most degrading agencies for making money by the corruption of one’s fellow creatures.” —Right Hon Lord Milner, G.C.B. *** ACCORDING to our usual custom, in order that our employees may have a little relaxation at this season, there will be no issue of the Standard on 1st January, the next issue being published on the 8th. *** A public meeting will be held in the Mechanics’ Institute, Frankston on Monday evening next to consider the proposed discontinuance of the continuous telephone service at the Frankston Post Office. *** THE Fancy Fair in aid of the local Catholic Church will be opened in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on New Year’s Eve and again on New Year’s Night, when there will be any

amount of amusement for young and old. *** AT the garden fete held at Somerville, on Saturday afternoon last, Miss Mabel Clare of Melbourne, kindly gave her services as palmist. The raffles were all drawn under the supervision of Mr A. G. Carver. *** WE are pleased to note in “the Corian”, the journal of the Geelong Grammar School, that Sidney Plowman, son of Dr Plowman, won the sixth form handicap in Gymnastics and was second in the Gymnastics Senior Championship of the school.

He also gained the upper sixth form prize in science, Division 11, Chemistry. *** MRS Coyle acknowledges further donations to the Langwarrin Dinner: —Mrs Deane,10s 6d ; Mrs Rimmer, 10s 6d; Mr Coxall, 10s 6d; Mrs Jacobs, 5s ; Mrs Errington, 2s ; Mrs Foster; 10s ; Mr Tipping, £1 ; Mr Lightfoot; 10s; Mrs Pidgeon, 10s; Peninsula Motor Garage Pty. Ltd., £2 2s ; Mrs Cohen, 5 tins tobacco ; Mr J. B. Jolly £1 1s; Mrs Twinning, 5s; Well wisher, 5s. *** THE official re-opening of the Somerville Mechanics’ Hall will be performed on Friday afternoon next, at 3 o’clock, by Cr Geo Griffeth, President of the Shire. A luncheon will follow, and in the evening an entertainment will be given by the past and present pupils of Somer-

ville State School, to be followed by a dance. The whole of the proceeds will go towards defraying the expense incurred in the additions to the building. *** SPLENDID entries have been received for the annual Athletic Sports to be held in the Frankston Park on New Year’s Day. In another column we publish the handicaps of the principal events, which have filled remarkably well.

The wood chops should attract more than usual attention, through some of our best axmen being entered, and taking the programme as a whole a most enjoyable day’s sport should be the result. *** THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Branch of the Red Cross Society was held on Tuesday evening, December 21st, 1915. The secretary, in presenting the 9th monthly report stated that they had just completed 1,000 articles during the 9 months, besides sending £50 in cash, 72lbs weight of old linen (and 150 sugar bags to the Lady Mayoress) they had also helped in the Luna Park Carnival, by sale of tickets etc.

At the close of the meeting, Mrs Barber, in a very neat speech, presented the President, Secretary, and Cutter with an appropriate present, in recognition of the work they had done in connection with the Red Cross society.

The secretary, in response, thanked Mrs Barber for the kindly thought, it

was so unexpected, which made it all the more appreciated, and although they had done their best, they had not done as much as Mrs Barber, who had given her three sons. She recognised the war was only to be won by sacrifice. *** ON Wednesday evening next, the St Paul’s Dramatic Club, assisted by a number of our leading amateur vocalists and instrumentalists will produce, with complete costume and scene effects, and a full chorus, the entertaining musical comedy “A trial by jury.” As this will be the first production of musical comedy in Frankston, and the comedy has been in active rehearsal for some weeks past, an enjoyable evening is assured.

The piece is being produced under the direction of Mr L. Marks, who was associated with the Lyster and Simocsen’s opera companies, so well known to old playgoers, and the instrumental work is in the capable hands of Mrs McCormack, pianist, and Mr Plummer, flautist.

It is only necessary to mention that the principal parts will be sustained by such well known favorites as Miss Alice Bowell, Miss Nellie Williams, and Messrs Ellis, Wheeler, Will Gregory, C. Watson, and J. C Garrood, to ensure a good attendance.

The comedy will be preceded by a concert of popular items, in which the great classical tenor, Sing Sum Soon will appear. *** A first class programme was submit-

ted by the A A B entertainers at the hall on Thursday evening 16th inst in aid of the home for adult blind at Brighton. The hall was nicely filled and patrons enjoyed themselves immensely. *** ON Friday evening Xmas eve, the usual Xmas fair will be held under the auspices of the C.E.L.G. The guild has had so much of their time taken up with Red Cross work that the work in connection with the Church fund has for some time been laid aside. Strenuous efforts have been made however, to bring this event to a successful issue, the net proceeds of which will be devoted to the church building fund. *** THE Truth About Belgium Under the Huns. Mr Carlyle Smythe, the well known writer, traveller, and entrepreneur, is just returning to Australia from a trip through the war countries, during which he has written a number of excellent articles for “Life.”

The latest of these appears in the January issue of that magazine, just to hand, and it deals with a subject that is of the greatest interest, and yet is little known— i.e. Belgium under the German heel. The issue of “Life” also includes a set of four masterly articles by Dr W H Fitchett, in which as usual, he deals with the fighting of the past month and the trend of the situation as a whole. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 25 December, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

A tale of Christmas past, present and future

By Stuart McCullough DURING our weekly phone conversation, my father and I often discuss upcoming family functions. Christmas is no exception. PETE: We’ll come at noon. Wendy’s bringing a turkey. ME: That’s no way to talk about yourself! (prolonged pause for laughter only to be filled by a gaping silence) I’d like to think the lack of laughter was not the fault of the joke itself which, frankly, was near perfect but the subject matter.

After all, Christmas is a very serious business. In ‘A Christmas Carol’, Ebenezer Scrooge has possibly the worst night’s sleep of his miserable life when the ghost of a former business partner rocks up to tell him to expect a visitation from the spirits of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come.

In a way, we’re all like Scrooge. By that, I don’t mean miserly or otherwise wretched, but that Christmas is a bit of a signpost for where we’ve been and where we’re headed.

For me, the ghost of Christmas past is a certain time of day. As a kid, it was all about getting up early. The sense of anticipation that accompanied the big day was close to unbearable. Heightened expectations meant the chances of getting to sleep on Christmas Eve would be negligible were it not for the decision of television programmers to broadcast near unwatchable schlock which invariably involved some dodgy sitcom doing their own hilarious take on ‘A Christmas Carol’ that, in reality, consisted of dressing up poorly and gluing on a pair of mutton chops that virtually guaranteed that

anyone under the age of thirty would be counting sheep before nine o’clock.

I’d never hear Father Christmas arrive. Instead, it would be the sound of one of my younger brothers or sisters performing reconnaissance up and down the hallway that would manage to pull me from my ‘A Christmas Carol’-induced coma. Slow, creeping footsteps on the way down; followed by a trample that might easily have been a herd of very small elephants as they returned to relay what they’d seen underneath the tree. Finding your

present was always made more challenging by the fact of my father’s nearillegible handwriting. Even he would be unable to decipher it. The rest of us had no hope. I think I assumed that Christmas day would stay like that forever, but I was wrong.

Despite those spectacular early mornings of our childhood, there was a time when my siblings and I were in our late teens and early twenties that Christmas was a hit and miss affair.

For a few years, it was a piecemeal event that meant some of us were at a

loose end on the day itself. It was during this time that the five of us started ‘the foot photo’. As a reaction to years of awkward pictures perched in front of a tree, my brother and sisters and I decided that we’d take a photograph of our shoes instead as an alternative kind of family portrait. Every time I see those photos, I’m both glad that we took them and pleased that those years of disconnected catch-ups were only temporary. Things changed when Brodie came along.

Brodie was (and, indeed, still is) the first nephew to arrive in our family.

This changed everything. Suddenly, Christmas was back on as a major family event, albeit one that centred around an infant. From then on, Christmas became something of a spectator sport. There is no greater sight than a room full of nephews and nieces as the scurry over presents at the foot of the tree, desperately attempting to decode my father’s handwriting. Nowadays, my sister’s children have a tradition of their own.

My sister’s four kids don’t photograph their shoes as we did. Rather, each year they have their picture taken at the local shopping centre with Father Christmas. The wall of their living room shows them growing up with Saint Nick. Currently, it’s at something of a cross roads as the older two are sixteen and seventeen. I’ve made the point that what may feel slightly embarrassing now is on the very cusp of becoming hilarious. My hope for them is that they keep going as they hit their twenties and beyond. No matter what lies ahead, that the four of them turn up to have their picture taken with

Santa.

This year is different: we’re hosting.

It means all the preparations that for several decades I have taken for granted are now my responsibility. Whether this is the ghost of Christmas future remains to be seen. Everyone’s pitching in and bringing something to eat. Our job will be to create the right kind of atmosphere.

It’s no easy feat. Already, I’ve scoured various second hand shops in search of suitably festive Christmas albums, finding a particular horrific example of the genre entitled ‘Once Upon a Christmas’ by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton – the title, no doubt, indicating the number of times anyone could listen to the record without wanting to pull their own ears off and cast them into the ocean. Atmosphere is no easy thing. My father seemed to do it effortlessly.

The big day is almost upon is. The tree is up. We have a contingency plan for the dog in case she gets overexcited, and activities planned. At a certain point, preparation will yield to the colour and movement of the day itself. There will, I suspect, be children everywhere. Even Ebenezer himself could not help but get caught up in the excitement. I’m not sure whether we’ll take a foot photo or all head down to the local shopping centre where twenty members of my immediate family all clamber aboard the trembling knee of an unsuspecting Santa, but whatever we do, it’s bound to be great.

There’s little else to do now but borrow the words of Charles Dickens and say, “Merry Christmas.” stuart@stuartmccullough.com

FRENZAL RHOMB

By Billy Dixon There’s no more quintessentially Aussie punk rock band than Frenzal Rhomb. They’ve had their music banned from the Aussiest of Aussie radio stations, Triple J, led the Vans Warped Tour around the country and opened for some of the century’s biggest punk acts like Blink 182, NOFX and Bad Religion. Lead singer Jason “Jay” Whalley’s even had on-air verbal shitfights with Austereo personalities Kyle and Jackie O. As individuals and as a group, they’re intimately familiar with controversy, fantasy and personal injury. Right now, Frenzal Rhomb are in the midst of their umpteenth tour of Australia.

Seriously, you couldn’t make this stuff up. The story begins innocuously enough, with Jay and high-school chum Lex Feltham starting the band in the Sydney suburb of St. Ives shortly after leaving high school. Taking the name from a pet rat, they played Big Day Out in 1993 and were quickly absorbed by the fast-paced and unpredictable world of punk rock. “We’re experts at hospitalising ourselves… we’ve got a replacement drummer for the coming tour because Gordy broke his arm recently while educating members of the public on the art of stage diving, Lindsay had a detached retina, which is piss-funny when we’re out because it looks like he’s winking at everyone, and obviously the pig-worm thing… it’s crazy,” admits Jay, whose own mythical journey through the medical profession has spread rumours of everything from heart attacks to trench foot.

His mum fell ill recently too, but at least they

PAGE 46

Mornington News 22 December 2015

didn’t need an orderly. “I took her to my local hospital, straight to her room. ‘This way, mum… turn left here.’” All is well now, but it’s only ever a matter of time before their very own creative culture strikes again. These are the professionals who put their lives on the line, day in and day out, so that we might enjoy a few moments of furious fun. It’s a thankless job only heroes could bear, and yet all Jay asks for in return is “lots of money.”

in the UK, US, South Africa, Israel, Taiwan and Japan. More recently, they played with Clowns in Geelong (the Australian hardcore outfit, not the “terrifying props,” I’m assured), and they’ll be returning along with The Hard Aches and more on 8th January next year. “We’ll be going around to all the little towns, and playing our music there. It’ll be great, especially if there’s people in the towns… we’ll have someone check that out beforehand.”

Their lineup has changed a number of times, but always with Whalley leading the charge.

These days, Tom Crease dons the bass and provides backing vocals, drummer Gordy Forman has been part of the crew since the late ‘90s and Lindsay McDougall, also known as The Doctor on Triple J, backs up Jay on the guitar and moonlights his buttery-smooth radio voice for vocal support.

When he’s not on the road with Frenzal, Jay focuses on putting other Aussie acts on record and giving them some much-needed coverage. “I’ve been recording and producing for other bands… it’s fantastic seeing young guys come in, getting excited about aggressive punk rock.” Indeed, it was the commercial world’s borderline-disdain for Australian artists that led to Whalley’s spat with Kyle Sandilands.

Jay was actually The Doctor’s radio compatriot in their early days at Triple J too, with their breakfast radio show ironically titled “Jay and The Doctor.” All those early starts took a toll, as Jay explains that after “three years of breakfast radio… you start so early, I could feel my personality changing by the end of it all.” Bailing on the lot in 2007 for a trip around the world with his missus, Whalley returned to reunite the band in 2009.

Their set was cut short by the late arrival of MC Jackie O at Darwin’s 2004 Bassinthegrass festival, so they just started playing over her.

It led to threats of blacklisting by Sandilands from the Austereo network, who Jay argued rarely played anything Australian anyway. It’s an interesting debate given the mandatory levels of home-grown content our television networks are required to broadcast – no such rules apply to radio.

But they’d already been pretty much all over the globe. Sucking All Over the World, bonus content from their album Forever Malcolm Young (’06), showcased some of their antics

Of course, it’s not all about the music. “I share the care of my six-year-old child with my wife, so when I’ve got him we get to do guided reading in his class, show and tell at kinder and

things like that!” But even his better half is into the art of sound. “We’re in a group called Neptune Power Federation… my wife is the singer.

We’ve written a full 100-page graphic novel called Lucifer’s Universe, where every chapter accompanies one of the songs on the album (Music from Lucifer’s Universe).” Together, they “even built a giant space bong in the back yard with a smoke machine in it, so she sings her haunting lyrics from inside this huge smoking bong!” It would be a bodacious prop to have on tour. “It’s modular, so it breaks down into pieces, but I don’t know about taking it through airport security.”

Frenzal Rhomb, unlike other ‘90s rock bands that faded into obscurity only to suddenly hit the airwaves again a decade or more later, have been going strong for more than 20 years.

“We hope to release our new album in September 2016. Gordy will be back on drums for the recording, so we’ve pushed the dates back a bit just to be safe. It’ll be great to get back out there.” When asked if he’s noticed his fans age over the years spent on-stage, Jay quips “most of our fans were about 13 when we started playing, so it’s not like they’re old. They’ve still got it!”

Frenzal Rhomb are playing with Clowns, Heads of Charm and The Hard Aches at the Chelsea Heights Hotel on Friday 8th January, 2016.

Tickets are available at the venue or from moshtix.com.au.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Councillor Graham Pittock invites community input to the 2016/17 Rating Strategy Options Paper.

The options paper presents a number of options for consideration as a Rating Strategy, which will guide Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choices in applying rating options under the Local Government Act including differential rating across property classes, the application of ďŹ xed service charges for waste management and municipal administration, and the application of other rebates under the Act. Essentially a rating strategy focuses on how the total quantum of rates raised will be equitably distributed among ratepayers. The Strategy does not inďŹ&#x201A;uence the total amount of money to be raised â&#x20AC;&#x201C; only the share of revenue contributed by each property Public consultation is an important part of the development of a rating strategy; and given the great deal of misinformation about rates, as well as the complexity of the system, the community is invited to view the options paper and provide feedback on the options to Council for the development of the ďŹ nal rating strategy The options paper is on public exhibition from Monday 21 December for eight weeks. Community input may be submitted by post, email or online through the Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.

Ducs are the surprise packet PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MOOROODUC has emerged as the wildcard of MPCA Provincial cricket as we head into the Christmas break, the halfway mark of the 2015-16 season.

While glamour teams in Mornington, Mount Eliza, Somerville and Baxter sit outside the top four, Moorooduc is well entrenched in second place, equal on points (56) with third-placed Crib Point and clear of Sorrento (48).

Peninsula Old Boys heads the table on 64 points.

Then we find a logjam of teams all on 44 points (Long Island, Baxter, Somerville, Pines), all poised to strike should any of the top four falter after the break.

It’s a tough, tight season and you need to be at your best for a full day

to get the rewards.

Mount Eliza looked to have done enough with the bat on day one of its match against Moorooduc, scoring 233.

Despite being is strife on a number of occasions throughout their innings, the Ducs were able to claw down the score with four overs remaining.

Skipper Leigh Lambert top scored with 54 and helped to set up the foundations for the win with opener Ben Williams (42), while Sam Adams’ (number four) knock of 34 was solid.

However, it was really the cameo performances of Cameron Bailey (31) and Sushant Gupta (38) late in the innings that got Moorooduc the victory.

Sorrento did the unthinkable and chased down Crib Point’s first

innings total of 7/317.

Bobby Wilson was sensational, scoring a mammoth 153 in his side’s 5/323 in 77 overs.

Ben Tracy scored 39, Jedd Falck 36 and the returning Leigh Poholke 30 in the win.

It was a must win game for the Sorras, who would have been in eighth position on the ladder with a loss.

Long Island dropped out of the top four with a shock loss against Langwarrin.

Chasing just 179 for victory, the Islanders were bowled out for 133.

Mal Coutts turned back the clock for the Kangaroos, snaring 4/10, while Travis Campbell is really starting to wind up with the pill, taking 4/52.

Scott Phillips top scored for the Islanders with 42 while Peter ‘Potto’

Connell hit 31.

Baxter made extremely light work in their disposal of Somerville.

Ben Brittain, who has played his whole career in the shadow of his brother Chris, stood alone in the limelight in this match, adding 4/31 to his 41 with the bat for Baxter.

With Chamara Sattambi and Dale Irving each taking to wickets, Baxter was able to bowl out the visitors for just 108. At one stage the Eagles were 8/50.

Brenton Alp was Somerville’s only contributor with the bat, top scoring with 40.

Pines completed the expected and picked up an outright victory against Rye. Pines declared at 7/98 overnight after already bowling Rye out for 80 in the first innings.

The Piners then dismissed Rye

Top six in District logjam DISTRICT

By IT Gully THERE are six teams vying for just one spot on the MPCA District ladder as we head into the mid-season break.

While Baden Powell and Red Hill sit at the top of the tree on 72 points and Pearcedale has locked down third place with 60, six teams all sit on three wins and 36 points.

Mount Martha and Main Ridge, despite winning just two games to date (24 points), are just a game outside fourth place.

There were some must-win games for clubs on Saturday, some of which achieved the desired outcome while others are now well and truly on the back foot.

Carrum was one of those teams that simply had to win.

Defending 224 against Baden Powell was never going to be enough however, and the visitors got the runs with six wickets still in the shed.

Rhys Elmi was dominant and scored 155 of the 4/226 for the Braves.

Carrum is in second last place on the table and would need to win all of its remaining games after Christmas to make a charge.

Heatherhill had a sensational opportunity to go four points clear of the pack in fourth place with a win against Delacombe Park but fell an agonising five runs short.

The Hills were certainly in position to do so after bowling out the home side for 150 on the opening day.

However, the visitors resumed at 3/22 on the second day and never recovered, eventually bowled out for 145.

Dean Blight resumed with figures of 2/9 and finished with 5/32, while Shane Deal collected 4/39.

Seaford destroyed the finals chances of its neighbour and biggest foe Seaford Tigers.

Defending 8/212, Seaford was able to bowl out the Tigers for 179. Ash

PAGE 48

Mills added 79 with his 3/21 for the Tigers, while Matty Meagher scored 29. 17-year-old Max Watters almost took his side to the promised land with 25.

Tiron Fernando and Andy McMannis each snared three wickets for Seaford while Ali Mortaza picked up a couple of his own.

Flinders failed in its attempt to get the outright win against Boneo but still picked up the very much appreciated 12 points.

The Sharks are in fifth place after taking 13 wickets against Boneo, restricting them to just 114 runs for the match.

Defending 228 after Shane Beggs hit an unbeaten 101 last week, Flinders bowled out Boneo for just 89.

Matt Burns took 3/15 and Mitch Stansborough 3/22 for the Sharks.

Boneo was 1/25 in its second innings before the match was called to an end.

Red Hill had little problem bowling out Mt Martha.

Chasing 302 for victory, the Reds were never in the game, eventually dismissed for 151.

Brent Martin had a wonderful match, snaring 3/26 to go with his game-high score of 74 for the Hillmen.

Glenn Collett also enjoyed a dominant match, scoring 54 with the bat and picking up 2/42 with the ball.

Pearcedale destroyed Main Ridge, going within seven wickets of picking up the outright.

After making 71 runs on the opening day for the Panthers, Kaine Smith then took 4/12 and 3/11 as the home side bowled out the Ridge for 96 in the first innings and then had them 3/37 in the second.

Jason Albress scored 47 of the 96 first innings runs.

Skye’s the limit: Balnarring’s bowlers failed to cloud Skye’s day. Picture: Andrew Hurst

for 89 in the second innings before scoring the 74 runs required to win, losing just four wickets along the way.

Pat Jackson finished with match figures of 8/60 with the ball for Pines while also hitting an unbeaten 42.

Alex Coad found some form after being in the cricket wilderness for a couple of seasons, snaring 6/72.

Peninsula Old Boys finished the first half of the season on top of the ladder after beating Mornington by five wickets.

Chasing 231 for victory, the Old Boys did it in a canter, scoring the runs just five wickets down and with 27 overs to spare.

Wade Pelzer (89) and Dylan O’Malley (76) set up the win with a 122 run opening partnership, before Will Crowder came in and scored 33 to ensure the victory.

The gap widens SUB-DISTRICT

The heat is on: In soaring temperatures, Skye got home against Balnarring with three wickets in hand.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

Sudoku and crossword solutions

By IT Gully IN MPCA Sub District cricket, there is just one game separating fourth-placed Tootgarook and second-last Ballam Park.

Heading into the second half of the season, there are six teams in position to make a claim for fourth spot, while Tyabb is on the bottom of the ladder but just two games out of the four.

One thing is for certain, the premiership is going to come from one of the top three teams.

Dromana seems to be the best placed team at the midway mark, showing the most consistency of the top three teams.

Hastings, currently in second place, is equal on points with Dromana (68) after an outright win on Saturday. However, its lack of consistency is a concern, as is the heavy reliance on Tim Birch and Luke Hewitt. In saying that, the likes of Mitch Floyd are starting to have a consistent impact, Isuru Dias is a welcome return and Al Kristensen is a trump card if he can find form.

Rosebud is dangerous. The Buds have the stock to win the lot and they wouldn’t be overly concerned about sitting in third place, 20-points in arrears of the top two.

On Saturday, Rosebud made light work of fourth-placed Tootgarook – a reflection of the gap between the top three and the rest.

Defending 239, Rosebud rolled Tootgarook for just 112.

Patrick Nagel was the slick performer with the ball with 4/13, Billy Quigley added 2/23 with his 42 with the bat, Jason Nagel snared 2/32 and Scott Millar 2/39.

Rob French top scored for the Frogs with an unbeaten 37.

Hastings is in a sensational position on the ladder after getting an outright win against Tyabb.

After leading by 37 runs on the first innings, Hastings started day two having Tyabb in some early strife at 3/21.

Tim Birch picked up a hat trick and 4/24 in the second innings and Floyd snared 3/36 and Dias 2/8 to bowl-out the Yabbies for 85 in their second innings.

Hastings then lost four wickets on their way to the 50 runs required for outright victory.

Dromana also won outright against Ballam Park.

Dromana replied with 8/198 to the Knights’ first innings total of 95.

The Knights then made 150 in the second innings before Dromana scored 1/49 in its second innings to pick up maximum points.

Skye enjoyed a very solid and equallyimportant victory against Balnarring.

Chasing 180 for victory and resuming at 2/39, the home side got there with three wickets in hand. Pat Beckham was the key in the victory for Skye, opening with 76 before being run out.

Stephen Smart (35) and Rob Gruar (27) then helped to ensure victory.

The win means that Skye’s season remains alive.

Frankston YCW was never going to haul in the 342 required for victory against Carrum Downs.

Jack Greenwood had a crack with 53 and Lai Leaunoa made 33, however, Chamara Perera was superb with the ball for the visitors, taking the game away from the Stonecats with 5/22.

Jayden Barker was also very impressive for the Cougars with 5/65 from 27 overs.
