In the Oz Day swim AUSTRALIA Day on the peninsula dawned clear and sunny, and residents and holidaymakers flocked to events throughout the shire including the Mt Martha Australia Day (MMAD) swimming carnival at Mt Martha beach.

There were activities and live music at Mornington Park, including an address by Oz Day ambassador Simon McKeon, followed by the parade along Main St at 5pm and fireworks over the harbour at dusk.

Mt Eliza celebrations included a free sausage sizzle, flag-raising, an address by AFL legend Robert Walls and live music.

Other celebrations occurred at Sorrento and Rosebud – where Mornington Peninsula Shire announced its citizen of the year (see story below) and young citizen – as well as in Dromana and Rye. Clear waters: Swimmers charge into Port Phillip at Mt Martha for the annual swim conducted by Mt Martha Life Saving Club. Nippers swum 200 metres, novices 400 metres, and adults 1200 or 5000 metres.

Drum roll for top citizen

By Chris Brennan LEADING Senior Constable Mick Mears is no stranger to receiving accolades and awards for his decades of work as a youth resource officer with Victoria Police.

But this still didn’t prepare him for the “shock” of being named Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 2014 Citizen of the Year on Australia Day at Rosebud.

The 67-year-old veteran police of-

ficer is now into his 44th year with the force and has been based at Mornington since 1980 where he has dedicated himself to working with peninsula schools and young people.

Affectionately known as Constable Mick, the former army reserve drummer has earned much praise for his work in recent years with the Police Drum Corps at Mornington Secondary College.

In the seven years since its inception, the corps has grown in reputation and stature, performing at hundreds of events around the country and receiving countless commendations and awards, including the NAB Schools Impact Award and the Order of Australia Association best in show in Australia Day marches award.

But his work with the band is just one of the many programs Leading Senior

Constable Mears has been involved with. He is currently working with 10 youth programs across the peninsula.

He said being named citizen of the year had come as a “huge surprise”.

“I didn’t even know I had been nominated so it was a complete shock when I found out,” he said.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to receive a couple of awards over the years but nothing like this. It’s a wonderful

surprise and a great honour. “When you work with the community, you do it to help, not for awards. The work really is its own reward, so you never expect to receive an honour like this.”

Leading Senior Constable Mears received his award at the shire’s Australia Day citizenship ceremony in Rosebud on Sunday, where more than 60 residents became Australian citizens.

Fire bans in place across peninsula

Early warning: An example of what could be coming was graphically illustrated two weeks ago when fire quickly spread from Mornington Peninsula Freeway’s median strip to a wooded gully in Dromana, threatening homes and destroying the cafe at historic property Heronswood in Latrobe Parade. Picture: Yanni

NO fires can be lit in the open across the Mornington Peninsula or in Frankston as from Monday.

The CFA last week declared the Fire Danger Period (FDP) for both municipalities and warned residents to be “fire ready”. French Island has also been included in the fire ban.

During the danger period, fires cannot be lit in the open air without a written permit from the CFA or the municipal fire prevention officer at Mornington Peninsula or Frankston councils.

Anyone lighting a fire in the open without a permit faces fines of $17,000 and/or 12 months in jail.

Barbecues and fires for cooking and warmth do not require a permit, but must be lit in properly constructed fireplaces and not be used in winds exceeding 10km/h.

The danger period was declared after the CFA assessed fuel moisture, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall.

A glimpse of what could occur was vividly demonstrated on Tuesday 14 January when a fire that started in the median strip of Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Dromana ignited a thatchedroofed cafe at the historic Heronswood property.

Police believe the fire, which had at least two ignition points, was deliberately lit.

Mount Martha Community Bank® Branch

Firefighters were able to prevent the blaze reaching nearby homes.

Police blocked the freeway and all surrounding roads as the blaze spread to an area known by local fireys as Wonga Gully, between the freeway and Point Nepean Rd. “The CFA looks to the community to do the right thing by their family and neighbours, and follow the fire restrictions in place throughout the FDP,” the CFA’s southern metropolitan operations manager Trevor Owen said.

“Fire restrictions are in place for a reason – to help prevent fires from starting. Preventing fires is something that every member of the community should see as their responsibility.

“Last season Victoria had more than 4000 grass and bushfires, and this summer we can expect similar conditions.”

Mr Owen said Victoria was one of the most fire-prone regions in the world, where just two weeks of hot, dry and windy weather could create dangerous fire conditions.

“While we saw several bushfires last season, grassfires should not be underestimated. They travel faster than you can run and can kill,” he said.

“Living in a grassland area with dried-out – brown or golden-coloured – grass that is more than 10 centimetres high is a significant risk to people, houses and infrastructure.

“It’s not too late to protect your

home and property by slashing, mowing, grazing and spraying grass. On larger properties, farms and farmlets, owners can create fuel breaks by grading or ploughing down to bare earth.”

Mr Owen said farmers should also take precautions with haystacks, which could self-ignite in humid conditions.

“Spontaneous combustion is the leading cause of haystack fires in Victoria. Stacks become dangerous when their temperature approaches about 70 degrees and can rapidly reach ignition point,” he said.

“But while preparing your property is a good place to start, it’s just as important to prepare yourself and your family for fire. Before the fire season, sit down and talk to everyone you live with. Have a fire plan in place and, most importantly, practise it.

“It’s up to you to check fire danger ratings every day in summer – these help you know when the conditions are dangerous enough to enact your fire plan. Remember that if you can see smoke, you’re leaving it too late. A fire that is kilometres away could be at your door in minutes.”

For more information about preparing for the fire season, visit cfa.vic.gov. au or call 1800 240 667.

Age no barrier for charity teen MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s 2014 Young Citizen of the Year Timothy Thomaidis, right, is living proof age is no barrier when it comes to helping improve the lives others.

Still only a teenager, having just completed year 12 at Mornington’s Padua College, Mr Thomaidis has taken a leadership role in efforts to help the people of East Timor.

He became involved in an East Timor immersion program where he worked with children, conducted English classes and workshops, and established a highly successful handicraft

venture that generates much-needed incomes for Timorese families.

The Canossa Timor-Leste Shop has fostered an international business partnership between Padua and the Canossian Educational and Vocational Training Centre in East Timor.

Managed by Mr Thomaidis, the retail venture sells traditional handicrafts made by East Timorese women, with all proceeds going to helping Timor families.

He has also assisted in the creation of an educational bilingual film, which helps English speakers learn basic

Tetum phrases and Tetum speakers learn basic English. At the same time as conducting his international charity work, Mr Thomaidis has also been busy helping out closer to home, acting in numerous student leadership roles at Padua including:  Involvement with a reading workshop, where senior students assist year 7 students to develop reading skills.  Assisting in the implementation of the student-run 2013 St Vincent de Paul Trivia Night Winter Appeal.  Working with Ozanam Enterprises, which provides activities such as cook-

ing classes for people with intellectual disabilities.  Taking part in Leap into Law workshop run by Victoria University.  Acting as master of ceremonies at the successful public screening of Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, a documentary aimed at raising awareness of the plight of asylum seekers.  Coordinating “Are You OK” mental health awareness days.

Mr Thomaidis was also vice-captain of Padua College last year, year 12 social justice captain, and a debating team member.

First flight: This young orangebellied parrot has been bred at Pearcedale as part of a program to save the species from extinction.

Hopes for parrot’s survival ORANGE-bellied parrots are taking off at Pearcedale.

Actually, just one new bird has managed to get airborne, but the flight marked a major step forward in a breeding program to take the species off the endangered list.

With fewer than 40 orange-bellied parrots thought to exist in the wild, the successful breeding of one at

Pearcedale’s Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park is seen as a significant event.

The young bird took its first tentative flight two weeks ago in 40-degree heat. Owner Michael Johnson said the sanctuary was within the parrot’s “historical range�. “As part of a national breeding program, Moonlit Sanctuary plans

to breed many more to aid release programs and save the species from extinction in the wild,� he said. “The new chick fledged in a display aviary, so visitors can get a close up view of this very special bird.�

Moonlit Sanctuary is at 550 TyabbTooradin Rd, Pearcedale. Details: www.moonlit-sanctuary.com or call 5978 7935.

LETTERS Young views

Dixon defended

IN response to letters published by this paper including “Dixon should go” and “Sickening image” as well as the story two weeks ago about [Briars Ward] Cr [Andrew] Dixon, alongside a photo of him on holiday holding a pistol (“Critical blog sparks call for probe”, The News 14/12/14), I write to express my concern over the seemingly blatant disregard for civility and local democracy.

For the record, I don’t necessarily support SPA [Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre] in Rosebud at all, let alone on the proposed foreshore location. My grievances over SPA relate to cost and, in my opinion, I think [Mornington Peninsula Shire] council finances could be better allocated to other projects across the entire peninsula.

But regardless of any councillor’s position on SPA, for a local paper to seemingly begin to run a campaign against a councillor because of a certain position they have taken on one issue is quite juvenile.

Our council, to put it bluntly, is a lot older than other councils in Victoria.

We need to have young people involved in local government so they can advocate for policies affecting Gen X and Gen Y, including public transport, sport and leisure, and access to education.

So let’s put aside our political allegiances for just one moment.

Let’s encourage young people to run for council and play a role in our community.

Joshua Sinclair, Somerville Editor: Joshua Sinclair was the Labor Party candidate for Flinders in the November 2013 federal election which was won by sitting Liberal MP Greg Hunt.

DID anyone else read David Harrison’s article (“Antonella Celi should be first among equals”, The News 5/11/13)? He was actually suggesting that the democratic voting process be removed from the council chamber when electing [Mornington Peninsula] shire’s next mayor.

Completely ludicrous.

I applaud Cr Andrew Dixon in his defence of the integrity of the shire.

He was, perhaps, a tad passionate in his responses. Should he be lambasted for being too passionate?

Furthermore, I thought it strange that Mike Hast’s article (“Critical blog sparks call for probe”, The News 14/1/14) contained several wellconstructed quotes from Mr Harrison, while the only quotes from Cr Dixon came in carefully edited soundbites, delivered with very little context.

Speaking of context: what does a photo of Cr Dixon holding a pistol have to do with the article?

Torin Gallagher, Nollamara, WA

Wrong judgement I NOTE with interest that a Melbourne newspaper (20/1/14) has devoted its front page and an inside page to a story concerning the proposed erection of a monument by the City of Melbourne to the two Aboriginal men Tunnerminnerwail and Maulboybeenner (Bob and Jack) who were hanged in Melbourne for murder in 1842.

One could question the justice of that sentence for a variety of reasons, but those who support the monument because the two men were supposedly “freedom fighters” are undoubtedly misguided.

As Dr Marie Fels quite properly pointed out in this newspaper

(“Hanged Aborigines not freedom fighters”, 17/7/12), the primary source documents for the events surrounding the two Aboriginal men are contained in a book published by the Public Record Office, 1842 –The Public Executions at Melbourne (1984).

No topic has been so distorted or manipulated for political purposes than that of Aboriginal history and I suggest your readers consider very carefully before accepting ideological certitude as historical fact.

Ruth Gooch, Hastings

Biosphere blues I THINK many of us original members of the Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation will be joyful at the news Rob Gell is retiring from the chair’s position (“Gell to step down from biosphere”, The News, 17/12/13).

When I think of the effort that was put into the formation of the biosphere in 2003-04 by dozens of well-known and experienced environmentalists, group leaders, business people and retirees, and the meetings we sat through all around the peninsula and nearby local government areas, I cringe at Mr Gell’s remarks.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) requires World Biospheres to be grassroots based, not government controlled, to be bottom heavy with volunteers and paid people getting the community involved, working on environmental and conservation projects and increasing awareness of residents in local government areas.

I was one of the co-inaugural coordinators of the Mornington Peninsula Roundtable and we contributed more than 100 members initially to the foundation.

SPORTINGBET

We ran educational meetings, field visits to Royal Botanic Garden Cranbourne and Moonlit Sanctuary in Pearcedale, and pushed supermarkets to introduce a paid trolley system and biodegradable plastic shopping bags.

What turned out to be challenging was when we received grants from the federal government – for, as one former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor told me, we were not supposed to be getting funds, we were not supposed to be successful!

I believe Mr Gell leaves a legacy of failed roundtables and a tiny membership because we all got so furious and quit over the lack of action by the directors and the board.

The board (appointed directors from government plus supposedly from the roundtables) attempted to take over successful local projects such as the southern brown bandicoot recovery program, biolinks, and Watsons Creek rehabilitation. Mr Gell lost us, the grassroots volunteers disgusted with his top-down approach.

Money and grants appear to have been spent on office administration and overseas trips. That is not what the biosphere was supposed to be about.

Where are the signs saying “You are entering Western Port Biosphere” and “What are you doing to help sustainability?”.

Where are the scientific research committee’s projects on the ground?

A yearly meeting of a roundtable is insufficient. How can one and a half roundtables work, without funds, when members are furious?

We hope that a new chair, and perhaps a new board, will review the aims of UNESCO, check the constitution, and not eliminate the regionally based forums as Mr Gell has suggested.

We will rejoin when we see UNESCO aims being followed.

We are all still around; many of us diverted into local environment groups. But we love our region and we want to increase awareness and action at the local level.

New breeding code THE state government says it has set a benchmark for animal welfare with a new mandatory code that prescribes how cats, dogs and their young must be cared for in breeding and rearing establishments.

Mornington MP David Morris said the government was leading the nation with a “comprehensive mandatory code that covers all aspects of care and welfare including housing, veterinary care, nutrition, exercise, socialisation and retirement plans”.

Additions include breeding limits, staff to animal ratios, health management plans, exercise and socialisation requirements, annual health checks, extra record-keeping, and a ban on wire cage floors.

“The code has very clear guidelines on euthanasia, which includes an explicit ban on blunt force trauma,” Mr Morris said.

He said the code was part of a crackdown on rogue and illegal breeding establishments, and would improve animal welfare standards.

Businesses that fail to comply face fines of up to $35,512 and bans on owning an animal for up to 10 years.

Zoo’s new unit provides safety net for seals

By Keith Platt AN emergency response team has been set up by Melbourne Zoo to help seals entangled in fishing lines, rope and nets.

Announced mid-December, the team was in action two days into the new year, saving a young seal tangled in plastic box wrapping.

Head of the AGL marine response unit Mark Keenan said the funding would enable a two-person team to operate seven days a week for six months.

When announcing the unit, Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith said it had the capacity to respond to hundreds of cases of marine mammal entanglement that occur each year in Victorian waters.

Mr Keenan said the Department of Environment and Primary Industries, Parks Victoria and the fisheries department provided vessels for his team to locate and treat seals.

Wind or waves would often make it difficult to catch the animals and he relied on commercial dolphin swim operators to report sightings of entangled seals.

Most seal entanglements were reported at Chinaman’s Hat, a seal resting place near Port Phillip’s South Channel off Portsea.

Mr Keenan said on Wednesday that he and vets connected to the zoo had developed a good knowledge about seal behaviour and tried to assess an animal’s condition before heading out. “All entanglements are bad, but some need more urgent attention than others,� he said.

Caught and released: A young seal swimming around Chinaman’s Hat, right, after being freed from plastic wrapping

Difficulties arose when trying to “dart� and sedate seals from a moving vessel.

It was easier if a seal – weighing up to 250 kilograms – stayed on Chinaman’s Hat. Problems arose if it took to the water. “We have had the unfortunate experience of losing a seal, but they will certainly die a prolonged and painful death if we don’t try to disentangle it; that’s the reality.�

On 3 January the response unit went to Chinaman’s Hat after Troy Muir of Polperro Dolphin Swims reported a small seal with a “plastic necklace�. It took nearly two hours to dart and catch the seal before bringing

it on board the vessel and cutting the plastic. “We were very relieved for this little guy because his entanglement was caught early, before it could cause significant pain and scarring,� Mr Keenan said.

Mr Smith said the unit “brings together keepers and veterinarians from Melbourne Zoo, using their expertise to respond to sick, injured and distressed mammals in Port Phillip and along the Victorian coastline�. “The introduction of the unit will ensure Victorians always have a number to call and an expert team to respond when our marine mammals are in trouble.�

Judy Muir of Polperro Dolphin Swims said the unit was “fantastic news�. In a letter to Nepean MP Martin Dixon, Ms Muir said “distressed seals, and occasionally dolphins, entangled in the debris carelessly disposed of by humans� were often sighted by the Polperro team. “The deaths following entanglement are agonising and unusually cruel.

The animals die, often of starvation or infection over a very long period. It is unnecessarily cruel,� Ms Muir stated. “Help has been hard to access and though a lot of goodwill has been displayed by those with expertise and a passion to help, budgets always determine the degree to which help can

be offered. Now we can access help and expertise. “Polperro has worked closely with Melbourne Zoo over many years and the specialised marine mammal staff there have been able to offer occasional assistance on the water. It was often most effective, resulting in an animal being freed from entrapment. There was a need for more.�

Ms Muir said Melbourne Aquarium had helped collect and rehabilitate sick and exhausted turtles found on peninsula beaches.

To report sick or distressed marine wildlife, call the AGL Marine Response Unit on 0447 158 676.

Toy the bearer of good tidings THE Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation has released the 14th version of its popular toy Constable T Bear with sales of the young feller helping fund 39 hospital units.

More than 137,000 bears have been sold in the past 13 years with collectors paying up to $3000 for the first edition.

Blue Ribbon foundation CEO Neil Soullier said Constable Bear had joined the police’s Public Order Response Team this year, and was decked out in shirt and trousers, black boots,

fluorescent protective vest, knee pads, a helmet with visor, riot shield and baton.

He said the response team was formed in 2011 to handle public order situations in Victoria including joining Operation Safe Streets in Melbourne’s CBD on Friday and Saturday nights. “Money raised from sales is used to build new and improved emergency facilities in Victoria’s public hospitals,� Mr Soullier said. “The foundation has funded 39 units, all

named in memory of Victoria Police members killed in the line of duty. “The foundation remembers lives by saving others.�

Constable T Bear costs $65 and can be purchased from selected police stations across Victoria, the Police Museum in Flinders St, the police academy in Glen Waverley, Bank Vic branches or online at the foundation’s website: www.remember.org.au

Many hands make beach access easier

By Keith Platt HOW easy is it on a hot day to go for a swim or lie on a surfboard? Not very, if you happen to have a physical disability.

On Saturday 18 January, close to 300 people at Pt Leo Beach were given an insight into each other’s lives when Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula held its first event for 2014.

More than 230 volunteers made it possible for 41 disabled surfers to know the feeling of being on a board pushed along by the natural energy of a wave.

The simple joy of being hit by a wave can be fraught with danger for someone who does not have full control or use of their body.

But with volunteers to help you onto a board and then lining up to provide a human safety net, accessing this simple pleasure becomes a reality.

As well as organising volunteers, carers and their charges, the DSA’s peninsula branch has come up with innovative solutions to make it easier for the disabled to get to the beach and try surfing.

Over winter the branch trialled a bead-filled “seat” that allows a disabled surfer to sit up and enjoy the view as they surf toward the shore.

A harness has also been developed to make it easier to pull special wide-tyred wheelchairs along the beach and through the sand dunes.

“The aquaducks developed by the branch in consultation with all DSA branches throughout Australia performed above expectation and provided the surfers with a safer experience,” peninsula president Stewart Lockie said.

The new harness had made beach transfers “much easier and safer”.

“Heaps of people volunteered both surfers and non-surfers and all their contributions were invaluable,” branch treasurer John Bowers said.

“As well as the sea, there is a really innovative approach to the problems that the terrain sets us and, fortunately, we have a committee that is keen to solve problems. There’s also a network of talented people we are able to access.

“The new harnesses reduced the physical strain of moving wheelchairs through the sand.”

The next DSA surfing event at Pt Leo is on Saturday 15 March with a free barbecue for participants and volunteers.

Cat ace creating new champs

Action urged on phone coverage

BALNARRING’S catamaran world champion Robbie Lovig has rivals for best yachtie in the Western Port region – two teenagers he has been coaching for about 14 months.

Michelle Bursa and Chelsea Haynes, both 17, secured a place in the Australian team for the ISAF Youth World Championships in Portugal in July when they won their Hobie 16 class two weeks ago off Blairgowrie and Sorrento on Port Phillip.

Mr Lovig, 29, who with his French crewman Andy Dinsdale won the Hobie Tiger Worlds in Germany last winter, said they were the first-ever female team to represent Australia in the class.

“Michelle and Chelsea have been sailing together for about three years,” he said. “They are childhood friends who lived near each other in Somers.

I have been very impressed with their commitment and motivation.

“They have potential to succeed far beyond the youth worlds and could be Olympic sailors.

“They have shown great courage overcoming their weaknesses on the race course and showing male teams what young women can do.”

He said the women won the youth and women’s division at the NSW state titles in December, beating a former women’s world champion and many youth men.

“They also placed very well at the national titles. These boats are very physically demanding so it’s impressive to see the girls master the demands of the boat.”

By Chris Brennan PENINSULA residents enduring inadequate mobile phone coverage are being invited to make submissions to a new federal government program that aims to improve networks across regional and outer metropolitan areas.

The $100 million program includes provisions for $20 million to be spent on improving mobile coverage in locations with “unique coverage problems”, including tourist destinations such the Mornington Peninsula where there is high demand for services during seasonal holiday periods.

The remaining $80 million budgeted for the Mobile Coverage Program has been earmarked for improvements to mobile networks along major transport routes, in small communities and in areas prone to natural disasters.

The program aims to finance up to 300 new or upgraded mobile base stations across Australia.

Flinders MP Greg Hunt said residents and visitors could make submissions through his Hastings electoral office. “I have had many residents come to me with concerns over inadequate or non-existent mobile phone coverage, especially during the holiday period,” Mr Hunt said.

“This is an opportunity for people to make a submission about why their area should be prioritised for network upgrades.”

Submissions identifying locations with poor or non-existent mobile coverage can be sent by email to greg. hunt.mp@aph.gov.au with ‘Mobile Coverage’ in the subject line, or in writing to PO Box 274 Hastings, 3915, by 5pm Friday 28 February.

We are sailing: Michelle Bursa and Chelsea Haynes push their Hobie 16 catamaran Vitamin Sea to the limit on Western Port. The pair is off to the youth world championships in Portugal mid-year.

He said travelling around Australia and internationally was a financially challenging exercise. “Any support would be greatly appreciated.”

Bursa and Haynes will compete at the Hobie 16 open women’s worlds in February in NSW to tune up for the youth regatta.

“I believe they can win this event too. They will be racing against some of the world’s best women sailors in-

cluding dual Olympian Krystal Weir.”

Mr Lovig said seeing his charges win this month meant more to him than any regatta he had sailed in recently. “As a team, we have worked so hard to achieve this. I’m so proud of them.

The women were introduced to sailing at Somers Yacht Club in their early teens.

They met Lovig in 2012 after a midwinter training sail and accepted his

offer of coaching.

He predicted their success when interviewed by The News last August soon after returning victorious from the worlds in Germany.

Lovig and Dinsdale won the 2013 Hobie Multi-Worlds regatta, held in northern Germany last July. This followed Lovig’s third place in the 2012 event.

Wind, swell rule the waves

offers the young at heart an active lifestyle in our secure, tranquil and well established lifestyle resort

Enjoy being cared for Hard to score: Making the most of the crumbly surf at Gunnamatta were, top, under-14 girls winner Piper Harrison of Mt Eliza and, left, Jett Dickinson of St Andrews, who came third in the under-14 boys division.

Pictures: Surfing Victoria

MORE often than not the waves at Gunnamatta are big and unforgiving, but two Saturdays ago they were small and crumbled from lack of power as well as unceasing southeasterly wind.

Surfers competing in the Victorian Junior Series found it hard going with the lack of swell and offshore winds, although champions were decided in the under-14 boys, under-14 girls and under-16 girls.

The remaining divisions were held over until Sunday but the day was cancelled due to continuing poor surf.

Jan Juc’s Grace Day won the girls’ under-16 title ahead of teammate India Robinson and Isabell Cook, of Torquay, with San Remo’s Shayla Paterson fourth.

The only boys division to be completed was

the under-14s, which was won by Xavier Huxtable of Torquay followed by his teammate Cole Fox, Jett Dickinson of St Andrews third, and Marlon Harrision of Mt. Eliza fourth.

After placing third in the under-14s of the Australian Junior Titles in 2013, Piper Harrison of Mt Eliza continued her run of form and, using her experience at her local break, won the under-14 girls division.

Jessie Van Niekerk of Jan Juc was second, with Bella Wilson, also of Jan Juc, third, and Poppy Corbett of Cape Woolamai fourth.

The under-16 and under-18 boys divisions and the under-18 girls are scheduled to be held at the next Victorian Junior Series event at Phillip Island, scheduled for 15 and 16 February.

Port privatisation talk a ‘nasty joke’

Seascape: John Bredl is one of four Mornington Peninsula artists exhibiting at King Solomon Gallery in the Masonic Centre at Sorrento until Sunday.

Masonic gallery takes a regal name HE may have had little to do with art and even less with the Mornington Peninsula, but King Solomon is the name four artists have chosen for a new gallery in Sorrento.

The quartet’s first exhibition in the heritage-listed Masonic Centre in Point Nepean Rd opened on Australia Day weekend and ends on Sunday.

Foundation member John Bredl said the gallery space in the centre would in future feature “select artists from the peninsula and beyond”.

The four artists involved initially are Bredl, Beverly Whiteside, Jennifer Feller and Hans Van Vlodrop.

Mr Bredl said he and Mr Van Vlodrop were approached

late last year by members of the Sorrento Masons to stage a show in conjunction with a classical concert.

“The combination of these art expressions was a tremendous success and the concept of continuing the gallery was put to the artists, who grasped the opportunity,” he said.

The two extra artists had been invited to exhibit at the gallery “to increase the spectre of artistic style”.

Mr Bredl said works ranged from “the figurative to the spectacular landscapes of the peninsula and beyond”.

The exhibition at King Solomon Gallery, Masonic Centre, 3385 Point Nepean Rd, Sorrento, is from 10am-5pm until Sunday 2 February.

By Chris Brennan HASTINGS MP Neale Burgess has ridiculed speculation the Port of Hastings could be privatised, labelling any plans that pre-empt the outcome of a $110 million state government planning study as “a nasty joke”.

While refusing to rule out potential future privatisation, Mr Burgess said it was ridiculous to speculate on possible financing models when feasibility studies into the viability of the project were yet to be completed.

A report in the 18 January edition of The Age newspaper suggested the state government was “actively considering” privatising the ports of Melbourne and Hastings to raise up to $8 billion.

The state Labor opposition has also pledged to lease the Port of Melbourne to a private operator under a long-term deal to pay for its multi-billion dollar transport blueprint.

However, Mr Burgess said the privatisation proposals were irresponsible ahead of the completion of studies aimed at identifying the best model for Melbourne’s container transport needs, which are forecast to increase six-fold by 2050.

“Labor has already decided to sell off [the Port of Melbourne] without doing any homework at all,” he said.

“But that’s what a responsible government does: you do all the necessary homework to identify the best possible option for the people of Victoria.”

He said “any moves to privatise the Port of Melbourne would obviously

have serious implications for the Port of Hastings”.

“That’s why we’ve allocated $110 million over four years for a comprehensive study so that we can determine the best way to move ahead.

“Before we can determine the best way to move ahead and identify the best way of using taxpayers’ money, we need to know all the facts and identify potential environmental and social impacts.”

Asked if those options could include privatisation of port operations, Mr Burgess said: “Everything is on the table when we’re looking to identify the best option.”

However, he said it was implausible the project would attract public sector interest ahead of completion of environmental, geological and socialimpact studies that could drastically affect eventual costs, which were presently estimated at up to $12 billion.

“No one in the private sector is going to move on a project like this without knowing all the facts.

“I can’t imagine any private interests wanting to come in while there are any unknowns, and right now there are so many unknowns.”

Mr Burgess said he believed expansion of Port of Hastings would prove to be the best solution for Melbourne’s future cargo needs, and the state g overnment was moving “full steam ahead” with planning for the project.

Serene way to see in the new year WHILE many people cheered the arrival of the new year, with a backdrop of fireworks and parties, about 70 yoga practitioners welcomed 2014 with a relaxed session on Mt Martha Beach.

Jan Winslade's Yoga by the Bay group, who range in age from 7 to 70, took advantage of a perfect beach morning to cast off the cobwebs of 2013.

"This is the perfect way to let go of a stressful year," the former nurse turned yoga teacher said.

"We all lead such busy lives and carry lots of worries around with us. Yoga helps balance our lives and has many physical and emotional benefits."

Ms Winslade started Yoga by the Bay more than 15 years ago and runs weekly classes for beginners and advanced students as well as retreats and school programs on the peninsula.

Core Fat Loss Clinic is here LOSING weight is not easy for most of us.

We diet, exercise, sweat, work out hard and we never seem to make a lot of progress very quickly.

When we do get it all together and diet we seem to lose weight from all the wrong places first and a lot of our weight loss is muscle as well as fat.

So Core24 Health Clubs are excited to announce the opening of our Fat loss Clinic at Frankston. This is an exclusive private studio staffed by weight loss professionals dedicated to helping you lose those extra inches of fat from those areas where you want to lose it – tummy, hips, thighs and buttocks.

We have the exclusive rights to the Papillio Fat Burning System and are excited to bring this technology to the Mornington Peninsula. Our fat loss consultants have been especially trained to help you identify your problems and support and

help you reach your goals.

After your initial consultation we will recommend a sensible eating plan that together with the papillio machines will help you lose fat not muscle tone and retain your mineral bone density faster and easier than you ever thought possible. The sessions are only 30 minutes and are no more intense than a brisk walk during which you will burn more calories than running a marathon but afterward you will feel renergised not exhausted.

Summer Fitness Forget hours at the gym, 30 minutes does the trick

ALIEN Fitness will be hosting a Sprint Distance Triathlon on Sunday 2nd March 2014 at Safety Beach on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula.

This event is open to seasoned athletes and those looking to compete in a triathlon event for the first time. Locals who live on the Mornington Peninsula can benefit from specific triathlon training, provided by Wayne and Andrea at the Mornington Peninsula Aquatic Centre and our Trainers at Alien Fitness. Please contact us on 5986 6550 for training times and locations. Participants who wish to register for the event can pre-register online Here. Numbers are limited so please register now to avoid disappointment.

Forget working out two hours a day. Just 30 minutes, three times a week, is al that is needed for women to become fit and strong.

A scientifically proven 30 minute workout is one of the key ingredients behind the global successs of the Curves womens fitness and weight loss clubs.

According to Curves Director of Exercise and Research, Katie Mitchell, the use of hydraulic resistance excersie equipment is integral to the Curves 30 minute workout.

“Most women only have a small amount of time to fit exercise into their schedule so every minute counts.

“That’s why Curves Circuit includes hydraulic resistance equipment. This type of equipment gives women the ability to strenth train opposing muscle groups at the same time. Doing two excercises on the one machine simultaneously cuts down workout time.”

“Hydraulic resistance equipment is also generally safer than free weights becuase women are not required to pick up and put down heavy weights. This makes hydraulic resistance safe and effective for all fitness levels.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Multiple fires ravage the region; variety show comes to Frankston Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 31 January 1914 A FIRE, which threatened for a time to cause serious damage, occured at Rosebud on Sunday.

The first outbreak occurred on Saturday afternoon, rapidly toward Boneo and Cape Schanck, several places in its course being saved only by great exertions.

The change of wind brought the fire back towards Rosebud. Early on Sunday morning it was threatening Mr Morals’ property, where it burnt his pig sty and did other damage.

Later, it crossed the road into Mr Potion’s paddock, and aided by a fresh S. W. wind, made its way to the Point Nepean road, passing close to Mr Puttun’s house, and burning right up to the unoccupied house owned

by Mr Adams, which, however, was saved.

The danger was to sooner seen to be over at this point than a fresh burst of flame approaching from a point further west once more threatened Mr Potton’s dwelling, which again escaped, though the flames approached too close to be pleasant.

The burning of a fire break along the Jetty road to prevent a possible change of wind carrying the fire to the west caused the house occupied

by Mr Chilton to be in danger for a while, but once again, the flames stopped when almost within reach of their prey.

A large number of people, both residents and visitors, were engaged in fighting the flames, which several times set fire to the grass and scrub on the seaward side of the Point Nepean

road. Several house-holders either removed, or prepared to remove, their portable property when the danger was at its greatest; but, luckily, nothing more valuable than fencing was burnt, and several falls of rain have since effectually quenched the outbreak. *** A SERIOUS bush and grass fire occurred on Mount Eliza on Saturday last. The fire started at Rowans Gully, and before it was checked great damage had been done to grass and fencing on the properties of Messrs Walker Bros, Moseley, J. Smith, Fulton, L. Davey, and Ansell. Orchard and cultivation paddock fences were destroyed, with the result that the cattle wandered at will, and finished the damage commenced by the fire. It was only by very strenuous efforts on the part of a body of fire-fighters that several of the homesteads were saved. *** ON Thursday evening next, 5th February, in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, Mr G. W. and Madame Maude Heller, well known mystifiers and entertainers, assisted by first-class artists, will make their first appearance. Mr Heller is a mystifier and laugh maker; Madame Maude Heller, clairvoyant; the Orpheus Trio, vocalists and instrumentalists; Miss Helen Gordon, dramatic soprano; Sisters Litherland, vocalists and duettists; and Mr Will Fairbank, comedian.

These entertainments are described by the press as being refined, interesting and unique. *** TENDERS are invited in this issue for the work of reconstructing and

metalling the Point Nepean Road, from near Carrum to Oliver’s Hill, Frankston, under the provisions of the Country Roads Board. ***

Tenders are invited in this issue for the work of reconstructing and metalling the Point Nepean Road, from near Carrum to Oliver’s Hill, Frankston, under the provisions of the County Roads Board.

MR and Mrs Hugh Robertson, who travelled to England for their honeymoon, returned to Melbourne on Monday. Their many Frankston friends will be pleased to see them back amongst them again. Mr and Mrs H. Collins, of “Gracehill” Frankston, are shortly leaving on a nine months trip to the old country.

We wish them a pleasant journey and a safe return. *** MRS Jean White (matron Melbourne Boys’ Seaside Home, Frankston) desires to thank Mrs J. Guumes

for jellies, and Mrs M. Jacobs for box of sweets, donated to the Boys Xmas Treat, their names having been inadvertently omitted from list of donations. *** MISS McDonald, late of Talbot, has been appointed by the Education Department to take charge of the Moorooduc State School. Miss J. A. Morris formerly head teacher, who underwent an operation for appendicitis, at Dr Mootes private hospital, is we are pleased to state, convalescent. *** THE Dromana Sports Club annual meeting is advertised to take place on St. Patrick’s Day (17th March).

The programme is a good one (see advertisement) and embraces horse and pony races, foot running, &c., for which liberal prizes are offered.

Entries close 7th of March. *** OUR readers are requested to bear in mind the bazaar which is advertised to he held in the Somerville Show Shed and Grounds on Friday and Saturday next, under the auspices of the Fruitgrowers’ Ladies’ Guild. A Parliamentary contingent will start the ball rolling at 3 o’clock on Friday afternoon, and from then to the closing of the bazaar, the ladies anticipate a busy time. The proceeds are to go towards paying for the show ground. *** IT will be seen by advertisement in another column that the annual general meeting of the Westernport Progress Association will be held at the Hastings Hall, on Thursday February 12th at 8 p.m. All interested whether members or not, are invited

to attend. A most interesting report of the large amount of work done during the past year will be submitted for consideration by the meeting. *** A GARDEN Fete will be held in the Convent Grounds, Mornington, to liquidate the debt on the Central Novitiate, Ascot Vale. The Fete will be a opened on Wednesday, 4th February, at 3 p.m. by His Grace the Archbishop (The Most Rev. Dr. Carr) and His Grace the Coadjutor Archbishop (The Most Rev. Dr. Mannix), and will be continued till Saturday evening, the 7th February. St. Augustine’s Band of 30 performers will be in attendance on opening day (Wednesday). *** SNAKES have been very prevalent in the Langwarrin district this season due, it is said, by one keen nature student, to the wanton destruction of the blue tongued lizard. This harmless reptile it appears, consumes the same kind of food as the snakes, and his destruction enables the snake to obtain his food easier and when food is plentiful the species increase. They have been most frequent where the land has been followed and left without harrowing. One neighbour turned up six on one acre. They have been found in water holes and shallow wells. One dropped down a shallow well on Mrs Saunders property, and an attempt to charm the reptile out was made by Miss and Master Saunders. Lured by the invigorating strains of an accordion played by Miss Saunders the reptile rose twice to the surface of the water and was twice wounded by gunshots aimed by Master Saunders.

The evolution of the resolution

By Stuart McCullough ANOTHER year is now firmly upon us. Granted, it will take me at least another six weeks before I start denoting the date with a ‘14’ instead of a ‘13’, but I’ll eventually get used to it. It’s a strange habit, but as the old calendar is replaced by the new, people make rash declarations about the year ahead that range from the well meaning to the hopelessly misguided. It’s easy to dismiss them as the inevitable result of a celebration where sobriety is generally the first casualty. But in the spirit of turning over a new leaf, then turning it over again because I preferred it the way it was, I have decided to make some new year’s resolutions of my own.

But before I make a series of hasty promises to myself that I’m unlikely to keep, it’s worth asking the big question: what does 2014 actually mean?

In a strict sense, it means that the earth has rotated around the sun more than two thousand times since the Gregorian calendar first recorded time as ‘Anno Domini’, symbolized as ‘AD’.

The term ‘Anno Domini’ does not – as some mistakenly believe – stand for ‘after death’. Roughly translated from Latin, it actually means ‘I feel like Chicken tonight’. It must be said that two thousand odd trips around the sun is something of an achievement, to say nothing of the kind of frequent flyer points our planet must have accumulated. But after that many trips around the block, our planet knows well enough that not all years are the same.

Some arrive with a reputation. For instance, the year ‘2012’ was somewhat cruelled by claims that the world would come to a screeching, shuddering halt. The source of this woefully inaccurate tip was said to be the ancient Mayans whose calendar only went up to the year 2012. To capitalise on the threat of impending doom, Hollywood produced a movie, creatively

anything unrealistic, even if that means letting go of some of my long-held ambitions. For that reason, it’s time to surrender the dream of ever getting to sing All My Loving as a fully-fledged member of the Johnny Young Talent Team (as per it’s original incarnation and not the resuscitated ‘Glee-light’ monstrosity). My quest to invent an eight-day week, resulting in a permanent three-day weekend will now be left to wither on the vine. ‘Sunday’ will now never be followed by ‘Funday’. The less said about my mission to translate the works of Shakespeare into Klingon, the better. (‘To be or not to be’ is all well and good for conventional types, but “taH pagh taHbe’” has a real ring to it. I’m almost certain that the Bard would have been a Star Trek fan.) So what should I resolve?

Conventional resolutions take the form of eating better, losing weight and spending time with family. I have nothing against any of those things, but they’re hardly very imaginative.

In fact, all kinds of claims of selfimprovement are made when staring down the barrel of a new year. Finances, diet and kindness and common subjects also. I’m torn. On the one hand, I want to avoid being predictable and for my objectives to have a little glamour about them. But I’m desperate to avoid being so unrealistic as to be utterly delusional. There’s no point waiting – the time has come to declare my hand.

So here’s my resolution for the New Year: I will not become embroiled in an armed skirmish in the Baltic states.

entitled 2012 about the end of the world. It was a film so bad that, as an alternative to watching the movie, the end of the world seemed pretty appealing. To date, no one has threatened to make a movie about 2014 AD. This, it must be said, must be regarded as a positive sign.

So what should my resolution be?

For starters, I think it’s worth avoiding

Just to be clear, that’s without exception and even if provoked. I also declare that I will not attempt to land a manned space mission on the planet Mars without first seeking permission from the intergalactic overlords that currently rule the red planet with a green but ultimately iron-like fist. If that doesn’t sound like enough, then finally there’s this: I sincerely promise to stop writing weekly letters to Johnny Young to plead my case for a mature age entry scheme to his Talent School. This will come as a relief not only to Johnny but to my wife also who, I think, is tiring from my insistence that I sew sequins on all my clothes.

I’m quietly confident that I’ll fulfill my resolutions. Truth be told, I very much doubt that it will even be a close run thing. I suppose it’s easy enough to ridicule those who go out of their way to make a new year’s resolution, but there’s something nice about it. In fact, it’s kind of inspiring. The declaration that, in future, we will do things a little better says much about the inherently optimistic nature of human beings.

We want to improve because we always think we can. The heralding of a new year is as much about farewelling the old and, for me, I won’t miss 2013 much. That’s not because I was drawn into a Balkan conflict or that I resent not getting a reply from Johnny Young. It’s more that I always think I can do better.

Best wishes for 2014. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance LISA McCune will play Anna Leonowens in the Tony Award-winning Australian production of The King and I, which is being revived this year by John Frost and Opera Australia.

The King of Siam will be played by by Jason Scott Lee. The King and I also stars Chinese-born Australian opera singer Shu-Cheen Yu as Lady Thiang and Adrian Li Donni as Lun Tha, and is directed by Christopher Renshaw, with scenic design by Brian Thomson, costumes by Roger Kirk and lighting by Nigel Levings.

John Frost’s now legendary Australian production premiered at the Adelaide Festival Theatre in 1991. Directed by West End director Christopher Renshaw and starring Hayley Mills as Anna, it played to sell out houses around the country.

In 1996, the production went on to win four Tony Awards on Broadway: Best Revival of a Musical, Best Performance by an Actress in a Musical (Donna Murphy), Best Scenic Design (Brian Thomson) and Best Costume Design (Roger Kirk). The Broadway season was followed by a US tour.

In 2000, the production opened at the London Palladium with Elaine Paige as Anna where it played for nearly two years before embarking on a UK tour.

Christopher Renshaw returns to Australia to revive the production, with its stunning Thai-inspired set design by Brian Thomson, sumptuous costumes

by Roger Kirk and lighting by Nigel Levings.

Susan Kikuchi will recreate the original Jerome Robbins choreography as well as the choreography of her mother Yuriko who appeared in the 1951 Broadway production and the 1956 film.

The King and I opens in at the Princess Theatre, Melbourne in June. Tickets 1300 111 011. www.thekingandimusical.com.au *** Many TV fans are mourning the deaths of Russell Johnson, who played Professor in Gilligan’s Island and

Dave Madden, who was the band manager Reuben Kincaid in the TV series The Partridge Family. Canadian-born Madden also appeared in Bewitched, Barney Miller, Happy Days, The Love Boat and Fantasy Island.

Russell Johnson also appeared in 77 Sunset Strip, Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Wagon Train and The Twilight Zone.

Johnson admitted he had trouble finding work after Gilligan’s Island, having become typecast. *** AUSTRALIA’S favourite album of 2013 was a Pink album released in 2012.

Pink’s The Truth About Love has been Australia’s highest-selling album for two years straight, selling more than 560,000 copies in Australia, with about 200,000 of those sold last year.

Pink’s album spent four weeks at No.1 this week and 35 weeks in the Top 10.

It never left the Top 40.

Pink also scored the year’s highest selling music DVD with her The Truth

about Love concert, filmed in Melbourne.

2013’s second biggest seller was Katy Perry’s Prism which sold 179,000 copies in 10 weeks. The biggest selling original Australian album released in 2013 was Russell Morris’s Sharkmouth, at No.33, which sold steadily all year despite little radio support. *** Neil Diamond, one of the world’s premier recording artists, internationally renowned and record-breaking concert performer and revered songwriter has signed a long-term recording agreement with Capitol Records.

This historic contract unites Diamond’s complete Columbia, Uni/MCA and Bang catalogues of recorded music for the first time, encompassing the artist’s entire body of work, from with his earliest recordings through the present day.

The agreement also returns the artist to Universal Music where he achieved numerous hit singles and albums with

the company’s labels in the late-1960s and early 1970s.

Diamond – a Grammy winner, Kennedy Center honoree and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – has sold more than 128 million records worldwide, and garnered an astounding 72 multi-Platinum, Platinum and Gold album certifications in the United States alone.

Diamond is currently writing songs and planning to enter the studio to record a new album later this year. Concurrently, a comprehensive plan for the artist’s catalogue is being conceived and executed by Capitol and Universal Music Enterprises (UMe), in conjunction with Diamond and his management team.

Throughout an illustrious and wideranging musical career, Neil Diamond has had 37 Top 10 singles and 16 Top 10 albums in the USA. His most recent studio releases, 2008’s Home Before Dark debuted at No.1 in the U.S. and UK, and 2010’s Dreams, a collection of Diamond’s favourite songs by other composers from the rock era, debuted in the Top 10 and was highly critically acclaimed. www.theinsoundfromwayout.com *** ON 7 February 1964, The Beatles arrived at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport, greeted by scores of screaming, swooning fans who rushed the gate to catch a glimpse of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr as they took their first steps on American soil.

Two nights later, on Sunday 9 February, 74 million viewers in the US and millions more in Canada tuned in to CBS to watch The Beatles make their American television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of these history-making events, The U.S. Albums, a new 13-CD Beatles collection spanning 1964’s Meet the Beatles! to 1970’s Hey Jude, was released on 17 January by Apple Corps Ltd/Capitol.

David Hicks, Mamdouh Habib and Julian Assange appear to have incurred the wrath of our government in line with USA thinking. Even Greenpeace activist Colin Russell’s treatment appears to stem from a political situation.

Maybe it depends how my ASIO mates look at it?

Is there a country in this world where

anti-terrorist laws are not abused? The law is maintained by humans. If you watched the SBS program Persons of Interest you will have seen ASIO in action from 1945 onwards and the bully boys naive handling of innocent Australians.

Other than the odd fiddle with their travel expenses we never hear of any scandals of the “who’s on with who?” variety.

My instincts tell me Christopher

First from three former mayors followed by letters from residents on the joys of living there. I’ve always liked Frankston, not Geoff Shaw obviously, nor the way the shopping precinct has been mauled by design, nor the impossibility of getting a parking spot near the hospital or the train station but the rest is good stuff.

I laughed when reading in The Age of the disrespectful comments if one mentions living there. I lived there for 5 years, Bonbeach for 7 years and currently reside in Rye. The Mornington Peninsula is wracked with a subtle form of snobbery but surely no different than anywhere else? I’m betting Navy types will think they are superior to Army types and so on. Never to be taken seriously; it’s a joke. *** Super funds aside, there are certain other things which shall forever remain a mystery. The enthusiasm of many Australians for Halloween and 20/20 cricket?

A Grain of Salt IT’S all good news readers. Petrol at $1.50 a litre, prices up on electricity, water, everything and anything, and our mate Kevin Andrews is having a close and justifiable look at welfare payments.

Kangas claim big scalp, now third PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully LANGWARRIN has moved to outright fourth on the MPCA Provincial ladder after beating Baxter on Saturday.

The Kangaroos have joined third placed Long Island on 72 points, a game clear of Baxter and Mt Eliza, who now hold fifth and sixth place respectively on the ladder.

It was an important win for the visitors, who had failed to claim a big scalp this season.

In tough tests prior to Christmas, Langwarrin failed to beat both Sorrento and Mornington.

However, on Saturday, they were able to defend the 8/301 they set on the first week of the match.

The Kangas didn’t have things all their own way.

A 107-run partnership between Daniel Warwick and Dean Sterry took the Baxter score from 2/24 to 3/131, getting the home side back in the contest.

Warwick was eventually claimed by Matt Davie for 86, while Sterry was stumped by Danny Weare off the bowling of Dwayne Doig for 38.

Baxter then slumped to 7/155 before the tail offered some resistance.

Ben Smith stood strong at the end with a good half century, finishing not out 50.

Baxter was eventually all out for 236, the last two batsmen falling victim to Matt Prosser.

Davie was the pick of the bowlers yet again for Langwarrin, claiming 4/54 to give him 21 wickets for the season.

Doig finished with 2/79 from 31 overs and Prosser claimed 2/52.

Mt Eliza beat Crib Point as expected.

But it wasn’t the pace attack that upset the Magpies, it was the unlikely Jason Mathers who caused the damage, snaring a sensational 6/4 from nine overs.

In a cut-throat contest where the result was vital, the Mounties were able to bowl the Magpies out for just 110 in 46 overs.

It is going to be extremely hard now for the Magpies to make the finals, while Mt Eliza is just a game outside the top bracket.

The Pies got away to a reasonable start, Henry Dolphin and Matt Blake scoring 28 and 22 respectively. They put on 51 for the opening stand.

However, things turned pear-shaped after Blake was dismissed.

Crib Point went from 0/51 to 7/85.

Tom Baron helped himself to 2/35 while opening bowlers Sam Creffield and Justin Savio took a wicket each.

Long Island had little trouble disposing of Rye. The Islanders were just eight wickets away from victory when play resumed and took little time to wrap things up.

Rye was all out for 91, Ben Ashworth (25) and Aaron Fiddes (24) the only two batsmen to score double figures for the Demons.

Scott Phillips snared four wickets for the Islanders, while Chris Hocking and Greg Lamb picked up a couple each.

Peninsula Old Boys easily got the 187 runs needed for victory against Moorooduc.

The Old Boys had a number of batsmen who were prepared to get into partnerships and the result was 261 runs in 69 overs.

Brandon Lawler scored 59 at the top of the innings to be the best of the Old Boys batsmen, while Wade Pelzer (45), Jon Forrest (29) and Glenn Prendergast (24) all contributed to the scoreboard.

Brayden Gleeson was the best of the Ducs’ bowlers with 5/43 from nine overs.

Mornington went for the outright victory against Mt Martha but couldn’t get the result.

After scoring 271 themselves, the Dogs bowled Mt Martha out for 112 in 46 overs. With a further 34 overs left in the match, the Doggies went for the outright. Stumps were pulled after 26 overs with the Reds offering plenty of resistance and finishing on 3/62.

Back in the mix: Hastings managed to finish off Ballam Park at the weekend in their District match and keep their finals hopes alive after bowling out the opposition for 73 and 83 the previous weekend. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Upsets leave District wide open DISTRICT

By IT Gully THE MPCA District cricket season has been thrown a curve ball after the results of Round 8.

The final four is far from settled after some upsets and a couple of outright victories on the weekend.

Seaford Tigers throwing away a golden opportunity against Somerville has opened the door for another five teams to make the finals.

The Tigers were chasing just 97 for victory against the Eagles but fell seven runs short, bowled out for 90.

A win for the Tigers would have given them a 16-point buffer over Main Ridge and Hastings.

The Blues have shot back into contention after picking up an outright win against Ballam Park.

Baden Powell is also back in the mix after picking-up an outright win against Seaford.

However, it was Seaford Tigers who coughed up a massive opportunity to shoot clear on the ladder.

After bowling out the visitors for just 90 in 60 overs, the Tigers had a golden opportunity to grab the initiative.

They were resuming at 4/22 but had Corey Hand and Ash Mills ready in the sheds to come out to bat.

It made little difference with Mills out for 11 and Hand 10.

When Hand was dismissed, the Tigers were 7/70.

David James offered some resistance and scored 15 but he was trapped in front by Aaron Kaddatz and the Tigers were all out for 90.

In unbelievable circumstance, the Tigers were given the opportunity for a reverse outright.

Somerville batted again and was bowled out for 64. Sam Delaney probably saved the game for the Eagles with 40 off his own bat.

Needing 72 for victory off 12 overs, the Tigers had a fair crack at it but could only manage 48 runs. They lost six wickets in the process.

Kaddatz finished with six wickets for the match, while Russell Wilkes claimed four.

Corey Hand snared 4/19 in Somerville’s first inning and 6/16 in the second.

Hastings is right back in the mix after scoring an outright win against Ballam Park.

After making 9/240, the Blues then bowled out the Knights for 73 and 83.

When play resumed on Saturday, Hastings needed to take another 15 wickets.

Ballam Park was only able to add a further 18 runs to its overnight score of 5/55, Isuru Dias getting 5/20 and Mitchell Floyd taking 3/24.

The Blues sent the visitors straight back into bat and things were only marginally better for them the second time around – they scored an additional 10 runs.

This time it was Luke Hewitt who did the damage with the ball, helping himself to 5/12 from 9.2 overs. Ben King claimed 2/17 from 10 to help the Blues to victory.

Michael Casey was the Knights’ top scorer in the second innings with 23.

Matty Roach made just three after being dismissed for a duck in the first innings.

Pines had little trouble knocking over Boneo.

Defending 278, Pines always had the upper hand to win the match.

Boneo was bowled out for just 137, Leigh Lowry top scoring with 33, while Chris Jobling at the other end of

the batting card scoring 22.

Ricky Ramsdale was the best of the Piners bowlers with 3/40 from 13 overs, while Jake Prosser (2/6), Pat Jackson (2/25) and Brett Hudgson (2/34) all contributed to the win.

Delacombe Park cruised to victory against Flinders.

The Parkers had 9/198 on the board and certainly had the bowlers to be able to defend that total.

It proved to be the case, Flinders rolled for just 136.

Dwayne Field, after snaring 2/53 with the ball, backed up with the bat and top scored with 30 for Flinders, while Tom Clements was next best with 28. Shane Deal picked up 3/23 to be the best of the Parkers’ bowlers, while Chris Brittain added 3/31 to his 32 with the bat.

Baden Powell is also mathematically back in the finals hunt after beating Seaford outright.

Still 16 points outside of the top four, things would have to fall the Braves way for them to make it, whilst they need to find some more consistency themselves to challenge.

On Saturday, their bowlers were at their best.

The game was in the balance when play resumed. Seaford had made 120 on day one and Baden Powell was resuming at 6/96.

However, the Braves got to 123 before losing another wicket and immediately sent Seaford back into bat.

They rolled Seaford for 134 and needed 130-odd themselves with 18 overs left to play.

Rhys Elmi added 56 to his 39 in the first innings to steer the ship to victory. The Braves got the runs with four overs to spare.

Main Ridge slumped from an overnight score of 2/57 to be all out for 121 to lose their match against Carrum.

Carrum was defending just 162 for victory and eventually cruised to victory.

Brad Rossborough was the first to go for the day after just four runs had been added, before wickets consistently tumbled after that.

Travis Barker top scored with 26, batting at seven.

Jackson Fry and Lachy Dobson were both superb. After relatively quiet seasons to date for the teenagers, Fry (5/31) and Dobson (5/55) dominated the Ridge batsmen.

Tooters still in the finals hunt after win SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK is in the finals hunt after beating PEARCEDALE in MPCA Sub District cricket on Saturday.

After scoring 205 in their first innings, the Tooters needed to be at their best with the ball to win the game.

For the winner of the match, it meant a one-game buffer over the other and a position just outside the top four.

There were stages throughout the match when it appeared Pearcedale was going to get the 206 needed for victory.

However, Zac Stevenson, Luke Thompson and Mathew Whelen really took on the challenge of bowling their side to victory.

They were superb, Whelan claiming four wickets and Stevenson and Thompson three each.

Mitch Andrew top scored for the Panthers with 60 and Shayne Gillings and Stefan Bock each contributed 30 to the Pearcedale total.

Skye has given itself plenty of confidence coming into final to beat top of the table Red Hill.

Skye resumed at 8/69, chasing Skye’s first innings total of 173,

PAGE 50

which they scored in 47 overs.

The Hillmen tail did offer some resistance and added a further 53 runs to the total to get them to 122.

Ken Sullivan, batting at 10, contributed 30 runs and Ross Corfield hit an unbeaten 18, batting at 11.

Pat Clinch was the best of the Skye bowlers with 5/56, including the important wicket of Sullivan.

Skye batted until stumps were finally drawn and finished at 9/121. Red Hill’s Luke Toy picked up 5/29 in the second innings.

Rosebud held on to third place on the ladder with a 53-run victory against Dromana.

The Buds were defending 268 and the Hoppers got off to a reasonable start in the chase.

Mark Whitehead scored 23 at the top of the innings, Jay Hutchison scored 44 in only his second First XI game this season and Andrew Thomson scored 31.

However, the Hoppers went from 1/70 to 4/72 and the game was pretty much over at that point. Jedd Savage came in and top scored with 53 and Steven Watsford hit 33 but the Rosebud bowlers were always in command.

Mornington News 28 January 2014

Patrick Nagel continued his resurgence as a star of the competition, the Under 16 quick opening the bowling and claiming 4/30 from 21 overs.

His ‘old man’ Jason claimed 3/83 from 32 overs and Brian Doughty finished with 3/33 from eight overs.

Balnarring made light work of Carrum Downs.

Balnarring set a monster total of 9/288 on week one of the match, Mark Walles top scoring with 66.

The Cougars could only manage slightly less than half of the opposition’s score.

Josh Harkness top scored for the Cougars with 40 and teenager Luke Broomhall was next best with 22.

James Wisken was the pick of the Balnarring bowlers with 4/20.

In the final game, Frankston YCW scored 279 in reply to Tyabb’s 191.

Batting Blues: Hastings did well with the bat to see off Ballam Park’s challenge in their District match.
