Garden of tranquillity MT Eliza’s Shiva School of Yoga and Meditation opens its gardens for the second year this weekend as part of the Open Gardens Australia scheme.

This year’s event has been supported by a grant from Mornington Peninsula Shire’s community event triennial funding program.

Last week, area councillor Andrew Dixon visited the ashram for a preview of the gardens, followed by afternoon tea.

A suburban oasis spanning 2.4 hectares (six acres), the gardens feature a series of distinct areas connected by agapanthus-lined paths, unrecognisable from the vacant horse paddocks of 18 years ago. “The gardens, maintained by volunteers, are a true labour of love,� ashram director Swami Shankarananda said. “Nature and spirituality are one; through nature we experience harmony, joy and peace. “Meditation is to seek inner harmony and peace, and when you have outer circumstances full of beauty and tranquillity, it supports meditation. Some of the most beautiful gardens I’ve seen have been attached to ashrams and monasteries.

Gardens outwardly express the inner harmony of the soul.�

Lifesavers’ building woes

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Life Saving Club is in deep water after clearing an area behind its clubhouse on Mills Beach as well as starting internal renovations without a permit.

The club removed sand that had built up behind the building over several years, disturbing an Aboriginal midden site.

It placed two shipping containers in

the cleared section as a storage area for new equipment.

It also started renovating shower and toilet areas on the ground floor, which had been affected by rising damp.

The existing facilities were insufficient for a growing membership.

The clearing has triggered an investigation by the Office of Aboriginal Affairs Victoria, which provides advice to the state government on Aboriginal policy and planning.

The cleared area has been fenced off

by Mornington Peninsula Shire and a stop work order placed on the bathroom renovations.

The shire’s environment protection and community safety manager Claire Smith said the shire was “working with the club to resolve two issues�. “Officers are actively working with the club to address unapproved renovation works, which occurred recently, with a view to bringing the building

back into compliance with the Building Act. “We hope this matter will be resolved as soon as possible.�

She said two large shipping containers had been placed on the foreshore behind the clubhouse. “There has been damage to some vegetation and the area was excavated by machine. There is a concern that there was disturbance caused to a potential Aboriginal cultural heritage site

during the works and further investigation is underway.�

Ms Smith said no approvals had been sought from the shire to undertake either the clearing or internal renovations.

The shire had “engaged experts to advise how best to restore the site and is working closely with the relevant state government bodies. It is expected at this stage that it may take some time to resolve this issue�.

VicRoads wants road handover

By Mike Hast VICROADS is trying to offload the Esplanade onto Mornington Peninsula Shire.

The shire and VicRoads have been discussing the status of shire roads for many months but councillors were briefed for the first time last week.

VicRoads can force the shire to take ownership of the so-called government road but it appears the roads authority is adopting a conciliatory approach.

The state government authority has told the shire it wants to downgrade the Esplanade’s status from an arterial to a local road, and give it to the shire.

It told the shire the road is mainly used by locals but it is common knowledge the summer season sees many tourists driving along the winding, coast road between Mornington and Mt Martha.

VicRoads and the shire are discussing several options about “ownership” of the Esplanade.

One is that the shire would take over the one-kilometre section between Main St, Mornington, and Wilsons Rd. A second option is between Main St and just before Balcombe Creek at Mt Martha.

Option three covers the entire road between Main St and Bruce Rd, Safety Beach (the Esplanade’s name changes to Marine Drive at Ellerina Road West).

VicRoads said it would take financial

responsibility for “geotechnical” problems (that is, landslips) for the whole road as well as the road tunnel under the entrance to Martha Cove marina, formerly Tassells Creek.

There have been three major landslips along the Esplanade since 2010, caused by the failure of old terracotta drainage pipes under the road as well as more stormwater coming off Mt Martha due to recent housing development as well as good rain since the 13-year drought ended in 2010.

The landslips occurred in August 2010, March 2011 and mid-2012.

A government source said the Esplanade was “not in first class condition by a long shot”.

The shire would need to ensure any agreement with VicRoads to take over the road was set in “rolled gold”.

Talks between VicRoads and the shire about peninsula roads have included Main St, Mornington.

The News understands the shire has asked VicRoads to hand over the town’s main shopping street so the shire can progress its Mornington structure plan.

Main St has been a government road since the early days, before councils were created.

The wide footpaths in front of shops built since the 1960s exist because VicRoads once had plans to significantly widen the street.

Looking ahead: Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders deputy chair Marilyn Godley, left, shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden and PACE chairman Dr Don Reeves are urging people to comment on the shire’s Positive Ageing Strategy.

Five-year ageing strategy for shire MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has updated and renamed a fiveyear plan outlining its “approach to support older people”.

The draft Positive Ageing Strategy is open for public comment.

The mayor, Cr Lynn Bowden, said the draft strategy proposes a “whole of council” and “whole of community” approach to support older people.

She said the shire had been “one of the first councils in Victoria to develop a strategy, The Elder Citizens Strategy, to help plan its service provision for older people in the community”.

Twelve years later the shire was “pleased to present this updated strategy to continue to create a

community ‘for all ages’, promoting optimal health and wellbeing”.

Eight “key action areas” in the draft strategy are:  Transport.  Housing.  Social participation.  Respect and social inclusion.  Civic participation and employment.  Communication and information.  Community services and health services.  Outdoor spaces and buildings.

The draft strategy was prepared with input from the community, local agencies and Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders (PACE).

PACE chairman Don Reeves

said 29 per cent of the peninsula’s population was aged more than 60, the second highest of any municipality in the state.

“This group is expected to increase significantly by 2030 and the strategy aims to ensure the health, participation and security of older people in the community is enhanced,” he said.

“We encourage all older people on the peninsula and their families to review and have their say on the draft strategy.”

It can be download at www. mornpen.vic.gov.au under “Your Say” or viewed at shire offices and libraries.

Book marked: Library mascot RUD2 (Are you digital too?) checks out the new website at Mornington Library with library technology coordinator Victoria Mathews and the shire’s libraries, arts and culture manager Geoff Carson.

Brave new world for library users MORNINGTON Peninsula library users can enjoy enhanced online services following the launch of a new website this month.

The shire’s Our Library’s homepage remains at the same address (ourlibrary.mornpen.vic.gov.au) but a new design and upgraded features make it easier to book items, access information and download eBooks or eTalking books.

New features on the website allow users to see book covers for most titles on the catalogue, post book

reviews or comments, recommend books or get recommendations on titles.

The website uses responsive design that automatically adapts the website layout to best fit the type of device being used.

The website forms part of a strategy that also incorporates the importance of cyber safety in an era where a rapid growth of technology has changed the way in which our community communicates.

The mayor, Cr Lynn Bowden,

said libraries offer much more to the community than just books.

“The use of free library digital services has become more and more popular,” she said.

“The library service provides more than books. It offers eBooks, magazines, DVDs, WiFi and computer access.

It has fast become a meeting place for all generations and the new website allows even greater access and features for library lovers.”

Labor botched pier project: MP

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Liberal MP David Morris has slammed the previous state government over its “botched” Mornington pier project.

His criticism comes just weeks before Parks Victoria names the successful tenderer for the replacement of the outer, condemned section of the pier.

In May 2012, the state government announced it would spend up to $15 million to replace the outer section with its 125 pylons, which had been closed since August 2010 after a series of storms weakened the structure.

In the Parliament last week, Mr Morris said the project had gone “seriously off the rails” under the Brumby Labor government.

“In 2009, the Brumby government announced it would refurbish the pier and install wave screens,” he said.

“The amount allocated was intended to replace the inner and middle sections of the pier, which had become unstable as a result of harsh sea conditions over an extended period.

“The intention was also to remove rock which had been piled against the inner section of the pier to provide a measure of protection and to replace it with wave screens.”

Mr Morris said the rock had been removed, “leaving the harbour exposed”.

“The two sections of the pier were demolished and work was begun on the replacement structure.

“As we came to expect with any Labor project, this one went seriously off the rails. Not only were insufficient

funds allocated to complete the project but it was established that the outer section of the pier, which it had been intended would be retained, was no longer safe and had to be closed.

“In order to meet the budget, the wave screens were dropped and the harbour was left open to the elements.”

“Under the direction of the Coalition government, the new section has been fully protected with wave screens, making a significant difference to safety in the harbour precinct.”

He said designs of the outer section had “met with wide acclaim from the local community”.

In June 2011, The News reported the outer section was in danger of collapsing after engineers found 20 per cent of wooden pylons had failed or were about to fail and were not supporting the top deck.

About half of the remaining 80 per cent were in “average condition” and the outer section was one big storm away from becoming irreparable damaged. Luckily that storm did not arrive.

When completed, the government will have spent at least $18.5 million on the pier since August 2010.

The town’s iconic, 123-metre long pier is used by two million visitors a year, the second-most visited pier on Port Phillip.

It was closed in April 2010 after a storm damaged pylons and dislodged about 100 large deck planks.

Two more storms in August and September 2010 – with winds of more than 60 knots – further weakened the pier, a form of which has served the town for more than 150 years.

IT was a great day for Mornington CEF Players when a talented young man walked in off the street and offered his services, says CEF committee member Louise Stewart.

“For a young man of 24, Ben Heels has a stellar resume of successful shows to his credit,” she said.

Heels is musical director of the company’s forthcoming production Jesus Christ Superstar, which opens on Friday 15 November.

“Ben has been musical director for Cinderella and Rent for Panorama Theatre Company, Hairspray for Latrobe Theatre Company in Gippsland, and Songs for a New World and our current production.

“He’s a self-taught musician who plays everything except the drums, and is an amazing singer, dancer and choreographer.

“He has become a muchregarded and valued member of the committee.”

Ms Stewart said “Ben has an overwhelming zest for life and contagious enthusiasm, which has made him a huge hit with cast members, young and old”.

The legendary rock opera is directed by Val Hardie and runs from Friday 15 November till Sunday 24 November at St Peter’s Bellamy Hall, Albert St, Mornington.  Tickets for Jesus Christ Superstar, directed by Val Hardie, can be purchased online at www.cefplayers. com.au or call 0467 186 175.

Progress at last: Mornington pier’s outer section has been closed for more than three years after a series of storms weakened the structure. Contracts for work to replace the 75-metre section will likely be signed before the end of the year and the new pier is expected to be ready by Christmas 2014. Picture: Keith Platt

Gardens foster growth of peace and tranquility Continued from Page 1

Survival program: John Bloggs joined a rehabilitation program as part of his recovery from the effects of cancer treatment.

Life-changing program for cancer patients JOHN Bloggs’ life was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer.

He was left feeling “lost� and unsure of the future after the cancer was removed and he was in remission.

On the advice of a dietician, Mr Bloggs joined five other participants in a seven-week cancer rehabilitation program run by Peninsula Health.

The program aims to improve quality of life, in particular the physical function, fatigue, stress or anxiety and diet of cancer survivors.

It includes exercise, education settings and selfmanagement strategies. “After I had received my treatment I felt cut off. It

was more of a mental feeling than a physical one,�

Mr Bloggs said. “I knew I could exercise but I needed the strength of mind to help me push through it. The rehab program helped me to do this. “It gave us the chance to become experts in our own disease. I needed to take control of the illness.�

Mr Bloggs said he and the other participants “learned about ourselves and became accepting�. “I felt I recovered quickly after I embraced the program. I got my independence back, I felt more connected, I continued my yoga and meditation – something I did before I was diagnosed with cancer and, most importantly, I learnt to not overdo it.�

Cancer rehabilitation coordinator Anita Lloyd said most people completing the program felt motivated, paced themselves and managed fatigue. “They coped better with stress, gained confidence to exercise regularly and ate better than when they started the program. “The program showed us that many concerns cancer survivors had at the start of the program were addressed effectively and they continued to use the strategies, combined with regular exercise.�

The cancer rehabilitation program runs in Rosebud on Tuesdays and Fridays and in Frankston on Wednesdays and Fridays.

For details, call 1300 665 781.

Highlights include a Japanese Zen garden, giant chessboard, a native garden honouring the Boon wurrung, a lily pad-covered lake that is home to ducks, an organic permaculture vegetable garden that supplies the ashram, and a colourful cottage garden with three young magnolia grandiflora.

The interfaith walk, inspired by 9/11 in an effort to encourage peace among all religions, was planted in 2011 by young people of many different faiths attending an Interfaith Youth Retreat.

Circumnavigating the dam, the walk includes gardens, handmade mosaic tiled artworks and quotes representing the five major faiths of Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity. Plantings and the colour palette are synonymous with the particular faith represented and provide an opportunity for contemplation and connection.

Highlights of the open weekend include lunch, afternoon tea, yoga demonstrations, learn to meditate sessions and live music. ď Ž Shiva School of Yoga and Meditation open garden, 27 Tower Rd, Mt Eliza, 10am-4.30pm, Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 November.

Shire decision helps billionaire to save

Top properties: Mornington Peninsula Shire’s office in Rosebud is valued at $22.3 million, placing it second on the list of the top 20 most valuable assets. Picture: Yanni

Asset values stay secret MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire ratepayers are still in the dark when it comes to knowing the value of any but the most expensive 20 of the shire’s properties.

A senior council officer confirmed last week that while councillors last month agreed to reveal the shire’s 20 most valuable assets, no other values would be available.

Members of the public can gain access to the register by giving the shire 48 hours’ notice, but the values of individual properties will not be shown.

The shire’s annual report includes the total value of shire-owned and con-

trolled land and buildings, about $2 billion, but no other details.

Civic Reserve in Mornington tops the list at $24 million, followed by the municipal office in Rosebud at $22.3 million and Sorrento foreshore at $18.9 million.

Councillors agreed to release the top 20 only after being asked by The News if they believed ratepayers should know the value of properties managed on their behalf by the shire.

While agreeing to the top 20, a slim majority of councillors shied away from making the entire register public.

As reported last month (“Shire

reveals top 20 assets”, The News 22/10/13), while debating whether to let the public know about specific values, councillors often appeared not to know what they were voting for while arguing on one side for transparency and the public’s right to know, and on the other berating the fact that the debate had been initiated by “a reporter”.

Cr Graham Pittock gave examples of blocks of land that had “disappeared” from the shire register, and asked his colleagues if they knew that properties such as the Safety Beach foreshore were council owned.

Keith Platt

By Mike Hast MELBOURNE’S richest man has saved more than $800,000 after Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors agreed to change part of a planning permit for his multi-million dollar house at Point Leo. John Gandel, who made his $3 billion plus fortune in the real estate industry and reportedly owns half of Chadstone shopping centre, is building a huge, single-storey home on the foreshore with stunning views of Western Port and Bass Strait.

The council in 2010 approved a planning permit for what will be one of the biggest houses ever built on the peninsula, reputedly at a cost of $10 million.

A condition of the permit was two adjacent blocks of land had to be consolidated onto one title.

Mr Gandel through his planner, Luke Chamberlain of Richmond-based Tract Consultants, told the council consolidating two of four blocks would cost him $525,124 in capital gains tax and $285,835 in stamp duty.

The property billionaire stated the amounts were calculated on valuation done by the shire in January 2010.

The two blocks in question are owned by separate companies associated with the Gandel Group.

In a report to councillors, the shire’s senior statutory planner James Bryan stated the permit condition to consolidate “was to further the objectives of the Green Wedge Zone and to protect

the productive agricultural land”.

“Also, it was required as the floor plan of the proposed dwelling (at the time of consideration) straddled both lots. It is noted the layout and design of the dwelling has since been amended and the dwelling is now wholly contained within Lot 2 (save for the screened outdoor family room).”

Mr Bryan stated a driveway off Point Leo Rd had been “formed and the site for the dwelling has been levelled and construction works are currently under way”. He told councillors the high cost of consolidating the lots “is considered overly onerous and therefore unreasonable”.

Removing the condition would not “affect or diminish the intent of the original planning permit condition or alter the on-ground outcome, presently or into the future, with the use of the land in the Green Wedge Zone”.

Councillors led by Andrew Dixon and Frank Martin agreed and deleted the condition.

John Gandel, born in 1935, is the son of Polish immigrant parents who founded clothing company Sussan.

The extended family is known for its philanthropy. Mr Gandel’s philanthropy is focused on medical causes and the arts. In 2010 he donated $7.5 million to the National Gallery of Australia.

In 2006, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Tel Aviv University for his “business standing, broad leadership roles and philanthropic support in Australia and Israel”.

TWO Mornington Peninsula projects have been selected as finalists in the 2013 Fire Awareness Awards.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s foreshore camping fire mitigation strategy and Wildfire Safety Bunkers’ private bushfire shelters were selected from almost 100 entries from community groups, fire brigades, municipalities, product designers and fire agencies for the statewide awards.

CFA Southern Metropolitan regional director Peter Schmidt said it was encouraging to see the community get involved in fire awareness and prevention at the local level.

“When it comes to fire awareness and safety, we all have a role to play. All of these finalists are making a difference and should be congratulated,” he said.

CFA chief officer Euan Ferguson said the response showed Victorians had taken on board the importance of enhancing fire awareness and safety to reduce the incident and impact of fire.

“It’s important to recognise this work being done across Victoria and we congratulate people working to spread important fire safety messages,” Mr Ferguson said.

“The awards ceremony will be a great way to celebrate all the finalists who undertook projects. For many of them, carrying out these projects is not part of their job.

“Some finalists are volunteers or community groups dedicating their time to improving fire safety, preparedness, response and recovery.”

The Fire Awareness Awards recognise the work of individuals, groups and organisations in their efforts to reduce the effect of fire.

The awards have been presented for more than 25 years as a collaborative venture between

BOATIES anchoring in shipping channels or fairways face on-the-spot fines of $289.

Transport Safety Victoria says it received reports of a dozen instances of recreational boats anchoring in shipping lanes in Port Phillip between 21 September and 21 October.

Three of the incidents occurred within 24 hours.

“Anchoring in shipping channels is downright reckless and dangerous – for yourself, your passengers and for the safe passage of the ship,” TSV spokesperson Paul Corkill said.

“Boaters should take a safety-first approach to prevent a day on the water ending in tragedy.

“It is very fortunate that the recent incidents did not result in any injuries or fatalities.”

Antonella Celi should be first among equals COMMENT

Heads up for rosy hats A ROSE garden was the setting for lessons in the intricate art of decorating hats.

Milliner Felicity Northeast showed some of the secrets of her art last month to 15 women in Mornington Botanical Rose Garden at Civic Reserve.

The workshop was hosted by the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, which is closed for an upgrade of its air-conditioning system.

Gallery director Jane Alexander said workshop participants were given a millinery kit “and a bag of beautiful silks and feathers to practice the tricks of the trade and get their creation under way”.

“Felicity Northeast first explained and demonstrated the fine art of shaping rose petals so they appeared

to have just been gathered from the garden,” Ms Alexander said.

“The students cut petals to make up flowers – some flowers a myriad of soft pastels, others bold reds and striking oranges. The final creations were added to headbands and headpieces, others made into brooches and some simply wrapped in tissue ready to be revealed on a very special occasion.”

Coming events run by the gallery include Young At Art on 12 November, a trivia night on 14 November and an excursion to McCrae Homestead on 25 November.

The gallery reopens 14 December with the exhibition Sea of dreams: Port Phillip Bay 1915-2013 (part two).

By David Harrison THIS year’s contest for Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor appears marked by dejection and lassitude among one group of councillors, and a muted scuffle for the gold chain and perks – the $85,000-odd stipend and $12,000 official car – among the others.

The sharply divided council seems to be experiencing a sub-split among its conservatives, which looks likely to block the logical mayoral choice, Antonella Celi.

Cr Celi’s conservative colleague, Frank Martin, is confident he will become mayor, for the second time in three years. He served in 2011-12 then lobbied for a second consecutive term in 2012-13, but was beaten by Lynn Bowden.

Now, it seems, he is back in contention again.

A return to the role of the shire’s First Citizen means Cr Martin would have been paid more than $200,000 in three years of his six-year career as a councillor.

Cr Celi’s basic claim to be mayor is that it is her turn.

She is the longest-serving councillor never to have worn the heavy gold chain. Denying her the role – by her own council faction – will break the unofficial line-of-succession pact that has run since councillors were first elected to the shire in 1997 (after three years of commissioners).

The choice of Cr Celi as mayor should be automatic. In chronological order from 2006-07, the mayors have been Tim Rodgers, Bev Colomb, Anne Shaw, David Gibb, Graham Pittock, Frank Martin, and Lynn Bowden. Crs Gibb and Shaw have served twice in their careers.

The councillor trio elected a year ago (Andrew Dixon, David Garnock and Hugh Fraser) must wait their turn.

Cr Celi, 45, entered council at a by-election after the retirement of Susan Beveridge in mid-2010. She was narrowly re-elected last October in Seawinds Ward.

It was Cr Celi’s third tilt at the shire council. She ran in Dromana-based Kangerong Ward at the general council elections of 2005 and 2008, losing to Graham Pittock in 2008 and the late David Gregan in 2005.

Cr Celi has not been a leading light in the council chamber, but is prominent in debate and busy in the Seawinds community, which she shares with Crs Gibb and Pittock.

A year as mayor would be immensely beneficial for Cr Celi and may tempt her to take another tilt at state politics for the Liberal Party.

It would be an unfortunate precedent if Cr Martin was elected mayor after only a year away from the job. The role is largely ceremonial and well paid with attractive perquisites. Cr Martin was a moderate performer last time, with an eccentric habit for a meeting chairman of making points of order during debate.

Cr Martin has run into fierce turbulence in his largely green wedge zone Red Hill Ward, challenged (wrongly in my view) by some activists frustrated at his voting pattern.

He is part of the dominant group – with Gibb, Shaw, Celi, Garnock and Dixon – and almost always votes with it.

His vote ensured approval of the controversial brewery on green wedge land at the historic Barragunda property.

He is a supporter of building the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the Rosebud foreshore.

While he attends meetings of Red Hill Ward Consultative Group, with which he is in conflict, he is not regarded as high profile in his constituency and rarely speaks out on green wedge issues.

It is a struggle to recall any statement, major or minor, made by him during the long, contentious battle with the state government over the planning future of the 70 per cent of the shire zoned green wedge. And no public statement from him springs to mind over the shire’s foot-dragging in writing its green wedge management plan.

Cr Celi should be elected mayor, for two reasons: firstly because of her clear claim to be next in line for the job and, secondly, because the whole shire community is entitled to the certainty of knowing the role will be equitably allocated.

The take-your-turn, or rota, system of appointing mayors has the added advantage of removing the opportunity for factions to appoint their candidate to the role. It should be adopted and implemented by councillors forthwith.

Five gardens to inspire green thumbs FIVE Mt Eliza gardens open in support of the Anglican Parish of Mt Eliza on the weekend.

Lisieux at 10 Daveys Bay Rd is a young garden, established on a cleared site four years ago. In keeping with the architecture of the house, it is rather formal in concept with English box parterres and garden edging as well as clipped ficus. It is full of the soft colours of clematis, roses, magnolia and more.

The home at 50 Old Mornington Rd was designed by Chancellor and

Patrick, and built in the 1960s. The garden had an extensive makeover in the 1980s. A liriope lawn gives a lush look and the recently constructed dry stone wall has greatly improved water retention, providing good growing conditions for roses, camellias and magnolias as well as the new vegetable bed.

The garden at Treetops at 15 Batman Ave has a backdrop of local eucalypts with abundant birdlife.

The gently sloping garden imparts a feeling of tranquillity, space and light.

Circular beds containing roses and fruit trees combine with wellestablished rhododendrons and camellias, perennials, bulbs and annuals.

It has a small watercourse and pond set among a fernery, and there is an extensive vegetable garden, productive in all seasons.

The 2000-square metre (half-acre) garden at 134 Wooralla Dve has evolved over 24 years and includes a range of deciduous trees and shrubs under-planted with azaleas, roses,

groundcovers, bulbs and self-sown annuals. Meandering paths lead around the lower garden, with natives and other tough plantings flourishing beneath established eucalyptus trees.

Falconwood is at 4 Seahaze Court near Tower Rd and has many garden “rooms� with linking paths and interesting artefacts.

The front garden is “cottage� in appearance with fish ponds. The back garden has formal hedging using native lillypilly and westringia, and there is a fire pit circled by

Crowds sail in to navy’s open day

By Chris Brennan TRAFFIC was brought to a standstill as record-breaking crowds descended on Australia’s largest navy training establishment, HMAS Cerberus, for its biennial open day.

More than 15,000 visitors flocked through the gates at Cerberus last Sunday week, well up on the 5000-7000 guests the previous open day.

“Traffic was extreme from both entry points to the base and we thank residents in the wider Crib Point area for their patience throughout the day,”

a navy spokesperson said.

Visitors enjoyed a wide range of activities including demonstrations by navy and army aviation squadrons, RAAF working dogs, navy clearance divers, army heavy and combat vehicles and RAAF and army communications specialists as well as performances by the Royal Australian Navy Band and the time-honoured ceremonial sunset parade.

Cerberus commanding officer Captain Katherine Richards said the open day provided an ideal opportunity for members of the public

to gain an insight into life in the military.

“The open day is a great opportunity for members of the public to see the range of training we offer and chat with officers and sailors about naval life,” Captain Richards said.

St Joseph’s pupils got an early taste of the action when a navy Seahawk helicopter touched down last Wednesday.

Pupils had the chance to chat with pilot Lieutenant Jordan Taylor, who attended Balnarring Primary School and Flinders Christian Community

College before joining the navy as a direct entry pilot in 2004.

The lieutenant told pupils of his experiences in the United States where he was predominately employed for search and rescue and natural disaster response as well as a secondary role targeting migrant and narcotic smuggling operations into south Texas.

He was awarded a US Coast Guard commendation medal for a rescue conducted during Hurricane Ike. Cerberus is one of the largest employers on the Mornington

Peninsula, with a staff of about 800.

About 4000 navy, army and air force personnel are trained there each year, with an average of 1500 trainees on board at any one time.

The busy base covers an area of 1517 hectares and is a small town in its own right, with its own postcode, hospital, schools, churches, recreation and retail facilities and residences.

The base has rich history dating back to 1911 when it was first known as Flinders Naval Depot. It has training and recreation facilities, two chapels and a small marina.

‘Who dares wins’ for adventurers

By Cameron McCullough THE weather was terrible– low cloud and driving rain. Marc Perdu and Christian Tiriault, pilots of Spirit of Nouméa, discussed turning back to Adelaide, but they had an appointment to keep. Besides, anyone willing to circumnavigate Australia in a tiny plane isn’t lacking in a sense of adventure.

This wasn’t the first expedition undertaken by the New Caledonian men. In 2011, they flew from Paris to Nouméa and in 2012 flew the same route in reverse. This year, it was Australia, with an expedition from Nouméa, counter-clockwise around

Australia, and then back home again.

“We had clear and sunny weather all the journy so far” said pilot Perdu, a surgeon by trade. “But today’s conditions were difficult. As luck would have it, this event was the only scheduled one planned for our trip, so we didn’t want to miss it.”

Under the cover of a hangar at Tyabb Aero Club, they were treated to wine and cheese as they discussed their adventure with fellow pilots.

Their plane sits in the hangar and is admired not because it is large but for the opposite reason. The Dynamic the men pilot is described as a “light sports plane” and seems a bad choice

ANALYSIS

The shire produced a booklet, Climate change: What we are doing about it?

It provoked self-confessed climate change sceptic Andrew Bolt to write in the Herald Sun the shire had pulled a “sick stunt” and terrified its residents.

Mr Bolt wrote “global warming prophets have had great success in screaming at us to repent or die”.

The shire’s then-mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, challenged the Bolt story: “The council’s climate change booklet provides the local community with the results of research by the CSIRO into the potential impacts of climate change on the Mornington Peninsula.

“Its findings are consistent with the overwhelming weight of scientific opinion, nationally and internationally.”

of vehicle for long distance flying.

“We can fly 1500 kilometres, or eight hours on one tank, but it is a small plane” Perdu said.

The men had a tour of the Old Aeroplane Company before staying the night in Tyabb. Then it was off to Melbourne, Tasmania and then up the east coast.

Why do it? “We want to spread the word about New Caledionia, but also accumulate knowledge we can take back home to the kids in schools.”

Flying friends: Marc Perdu and Christian Tiriault with their plane Spirit of Nouméa.

Climate fire future not news on peninsula

By Mike Hast CLIMATE change bringing increased fire risk is not news to many peninsula residents.

A report issued mid-2008 by Western Port Greenhouse Alliance and its founding member councils, which included Mornington Peninsula Shire, warned the Western Port region was at risk of more bushfires, rising sea levels, higher temperatures and “oncein-a-century” storms becoming annual events unless measures were taken to combat climate change.

The report received wide coverage in the peninsula’s local newspapers and was followed by the shire running 12 “climate change conversations” attended by more than 2000 residents.

Greg Hunt of the greenhouse alliance weighed in to the debate: “Perhaps the blinkered Mr Bolt can tell us about the 37,000 heat-related deaths in Europe in 2003 and why we shouldn’t prepare for this possibility.”

Seven years earlier, the shire first put on the agenda changing climate as well as actions to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.

A 2001 report provided a framework for community action.

Early actions included addressing topics such as water and energy efficiency, renewable energy, land sustainability and protection of the peninsula’s green wedge.

In 2006, the shire held a climate change forum called Your Community Your Future.

Arguments can be put up that the

shire has not done enough but it certainly cannot be accused of ignoring climate change issues.

The shire said some of its actions included “committing $30 million to develop and implement an integrated drainage strategy” to cope with “increased rain intensity and sea level rise”.

It has doubled its fire management budget, and achieved “a 60 per cent reduction in potable [drinking] water use”.

The shire said average annual temperatures would increase by up to 1.3 degrees in 2030 and 3.5 degrees in 2070. There would be “increasing frequency and severity of intense rainfall events, heat waves, droughts and bushfires”.

The 2008 report – People, Property and Place: Impacts of Climate Change

on Human Settlements in the Western Port Region: an Integrated Assessment – stated Hastings, parts of Tyabb and Somerville near Western Port, Crib Point, Stony Point, north of Somers and Shoreham were at risk of damage from rising seas.

It stated temperature rises would place greater stress on elderly people and those living in homes with inadequate insulation. A greater demand for air-conditioning would place stress on the power grid, resulting in more frequent and longer electricity blackouts.

The greenhouse alliance changed its name to South East Councils Climate Change Alliance in 2009 when Baw Baw, Kingston and Bayside councils joined. Frankston Council left this year and Greater Dandenong joined.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Missing motorboat returns after a month, farmer looses sheep to dogs Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 8 November 1913.

MR Hanton’s motorboat, which broke away from the wharf at Frankston about a month ago, during a severe storm, has been found at Hampden. *** SIR John Madden has again suffered rather severe loss through the worrying of his valuable sheep by dogs, and it has been found necessary to shoot several wandering canine mutton experts found on the property. Surely some steps could be taken to abate the nuisance, as several other sheep breeders in the district have also suffered lately. *** MR James Henry McComb, C.E., shire secretary and engineer at Lilydale, died in a private hospital in Melbourne on Sunday afternoon. Mr McComb, who was 61 years of age, discharged his duties as usual at the meeting of Lilydale shire council on Monday last, but on Thursday he became suddenly ill, and a local doctor ordered his immediate removal to a private hospital in the city. An operation for appendicitis was performed on Friday, but death ensued on Sunday afternoon. Deceased had held the position of secretary and engineer to Lilydale shire for about 16 years, and in addition to a similar position in the local water trust he was secretary to the Lilydale to Warburton Railway Construction Trust during the most troublous era of its existence. He was also a local preacher and an officer in the Lilydale Methodist Church, and by all sections of the community he was held in high esteem. He leaves

a widow and a family of six daughters and one son, most of whom are grown up. *** MR C. Grice, of Frankston, rode four winners at a picnic race meeting at Corowa last week. *** MR S. S. Price, dentist, has notified us that, owing to a rush of business at his city rooms, he has been unable to visit Frankston during the last three weeks, but he will be in attendance at Nurse Jackson’s on Sunday, November 16. *** MR Andrew Male has sold his brick villa, in Main Street, Mornington, to Mr Blair, and the latter has disposed of the residence in Barkley Street to Mr R. Ford, at satisfactory prices. *** THIS (Saturday) evening, in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, the last of the series of socials in connection with St. Paul’s Church will be held. A good programme has been prepared, and an enjoyable evening is assured. *** A TEAM of gentlemen tennis players from Mornington visited Frankston on Saturday last to try conclusions with the locals. The weather was beautifully fine, and after an interesting afternoon’s play, Frankston proved victorious. A dainty afternoon tea was provided by the local ladies, and was much appreciated. *** ON Wednesday last, 5th inst., Mr Walter Male, son of Cr Male, of Mornington, was united in the bonds of matrimony with Miss Katie Thorne, second daughter of Mr and

Mrs James Thorne, of Green Island. *** SIR John Madden has again suffered rather severe loss through the worrying of his valuable sheep by dogs, and it has been found necessary to shoot several wandering canine mutton experts found on the property. Surely some steps could be taken to abate the nuisance, as several other sheep breeders in the district have also suffered lately.

We are pleased to state that the Rev R. Jackson, who has been laid aside for a fortnight with a sever cold, is now convalescent, and able to resume his duties. *** THE monthly committee meeting of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute, was held on Monday evening last, 3rd November, the principal business being in connection with the proposed additions. The committee at the previous meeting decided to issue debentures to cover the cost of the building, which embraces a members’ library room, a public reading room, and a large entrance hall. The vice-president, Mr A. E. Bates, at the request of

the committee, undertook to distribute the debentures, and reported at the meeting on the 3rd inst., that the full amount had been disposed of, principally to local residents. *** MISS Queenie Young returned to Frankston on Thursday after an extended holiday in Tasmania. On the eve of her departure from Stanley, a pleasant social evening was tendered her. *** WE are pleased to state that the Rev R. Jackson, who has been laid aside for a fortnight with a severe cold, is now convalescent, and able to resume his duties. *** “NOTHING doing,” is the answer obtained from residents of Frankston in reply to inquiries as to what is being done re the annual Frankston show.

Surely it is time a move was being made to get the preliminary arrangements under way. *** WE have received a letter signed “Fairness,” Somerville, complaining that the Frankston Choral Society has not published balance sheets of their concerts held at Somerville and Frankston, and stating that they ought to do so, in justice to those who support the society. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly market at Somerville on Wednesday next, when they will offer a good yarding of cattle, pigs, and sundries. The same firm will also offer for sale, at Frankston, on Saturday, 22nd inst., a camper’s complete outfit, consisting of tents,

furniture, and a lot of sundries. *** A LARGE number of visitors took advantage of the Sunday train service to Mornington, which started last Sunday, and from appearances it seems likely that it will be well patronised during the summer months. *** THE secretary of the Frankston rifle club (Mr C. Dalman) acknowledges with thanks the following trophies and donations:- C. G. V. Williams, Esq., president, of “Mayfield,’’ Toorak, is presenting his annual beautiful gold medal for competition.

Mr W. Williams, vice-president, “Rupertetan,” Langwarrin, is presenting for competition a trophy, to be called the “Rupertstan”. Donations from H. Masterton, Esq., vice-president, Frankston, H. Collins, Esq., vice president, Gracehill, Frankston, R. Ford, Esq, Mornington, £l 1s each; Dr Maxwell. “Thalassa,” Frankston, 10s 6d. *** IT is with profound regret that we have to record the death of Mr Wm. Nicholls, youngest son of Mr Thos. J. Nicholls, of Frankston. The deceased, who was only 21 years of age, and a strong, healthy looking young fellow, left this district about seven months ago, and went to New South Wales, remained there six weeks, and then went to Queensland, where he died.

No news has yet come to hand as to cause of death, excepting that he was operated on in the Station hospital at Bundaberg on Saturday morning last, and expired the same day. The deceased was buried on Monday.

HISTORY

Collins and Port Phillip’s ‘First Fleet’

By Hugh Fraser WEDNESDAY 16 October marked the 210th anniversary of the Collins settlement of Port Phillip.

In April 1803, Lieutenant-Colonel David Collins sailed from England with 300 convicts, their military guards and 18 free settlers, landing at Sullivan’s Bay, near what is now Sorrento, on 16 October 1803.

Despite convincing reports to the government in London that Port Phillip would be a suitable site for a settlement, the Sullivan’s Bay site selected by the commander of this First Fleet to Port Phillip was not.

Collins did not seek a more hospitable site elsewhere – such as the upper part of the Port Phillip harbor, which Collins knew about.

Instead, within four months of the settlement at Sullivan’s Bay, he and all its inhabitants, except the convict William Buckley, abandoned the site in favour of the site of modern-day Hobart.

How did this First Fleet to Port Phillip come about, who was Collins and why was the settlement abandoned?

First, the French ships Geographe and Naturaliste had been active on Australia’s east and south coasts, including Bass Strait, throughout 1802 and 1803. This had caused alarm in both London and Sydney.

The government was alive to the strategic value of Bass Strait as a shorter route and essential line of communication to Sydney. This had to be secured by settlements on the north and south of Bass Strait and on Flinders Island.

Secondly, government reports that Port Phillip would be a suitable settlement site were well founded.

In January 1802, Murray in Lady Nelson entered Port Phillip and reported finding water as “clear as crystal” in what is now known as Tootgarook Swamp. He described how “the hills and valleys rise and fall with inexpressible elegance”.

Ten weeks later, Flinders landed near Arthurs Seat. He reported the same hills and valleys “were generally well covered with wood; and the soil superior to any upon the borders the salt water”.

In February 1803, the surveyor Charles Grimes from Sydney entered the mouth of the Yarra River and found “excellent fresh water” deep enough for a boat and “black rich earth”.

It is doubtful Collins was aware of Grimes’ report before he sailed for Port Phillip. However, before he abandoned Sullivan’s Bay, he knew he could have settled in the upper part of Port Phillip.

Lieutenant-Colonel Collins was then selected by the government to command “Port Phillip’s First Fleet” – so called by Tim Flannery in his collected historical documents The Birth of Melbourne.

Collins had served in the American Wars but had no recent active naval or military service that might have made him useful in the defence of England in the imminent war with Napoleonic France.

However, he did have some qualifications for the difficult task of settling Port Phillip. He had served with governors Phillip and later Hunter as Judge Advocate in Sydney from 1788 to 1796. He had no legal training but quickly gained a reputation for fairness and flexibility – a farmer in a debtors’ prison was no use to a starving colony.

He was also ambitious. On his return from NSW to England in 1796, he made a public name for himself

publishing the two-volume Account of the English Colony in New South Wales in 1798 and 1802.

However, personal qualities of holding one’s nerve in the face of adversity, force of personality, leadership, and putting others before him would also be required of this pioneer and colonist. In this respect Collins was less well qualified.

Collins loathed his pioneering time in NSW as Judge Advocate and secretary to Governor Phillip. In a letter to his father in England in 1792 Collins lamented: “I find that I am spending the Prime of my Life at the farthest part of the World, without Credit, without … Profit, secluded from my Family, … my Connexions, from the World, under constant Apprehensions of being starved … All these Considerations induce me … to embrace the first Opportunity that offers of escaping from a Country that is nothing better than a Place of banishment for the Outcasts of Society.”

Why did Collins line up for all this a second time by accepting the command of this poorly resourced small first fleet to Port Phillip?

Perhaps yet again he was troubled by debts and with no other advancement on offer, he accepted the appointment and his fleet of two ships, HMS Calcutta and the transport Ocean, sailed from England in April 1803 – just a month before war was declared with Napoleonic France.

He was aged 47 and no longer in the prime of life.

He had specific instructions from London to found a settlement on the north shore of Bass Strait as well as small guard and a few convicts on

Flinders Island.

Arriving on 10 October 1803, Calcutta stood off in Bass Strait to weather a night when a gale “blew a perfect hurricane between NW and SW. This night of danger and anxiety was succeeded by a morning beautifully and serene”.

Approaching The Heads, Ocean was observed at anchor within Port Phillip and the Calcutta pushed in for the entrance, passing through on a “fair wind and tide”.

First-Lieutenant James Tuckey observed and later recorded that the nearer shores afforded “the most exquisite scenery”, and recalled the idea of “Nature in the world’s first spring”.

Search was made for a suitable place for a settlement. This was accomplished on the 16th when Collins anchored and landed at Sullivan’s Bay, eight miles from the mouth of the harbour.

However, these Arcadian observations soon fell away to privations of “total want of fresh water and we found a soil so light and sandy as to deny all hopes of successful cultivation”.

These were words written following Collins’s abandonment of the settlement after less than four months and perhaps written with an eye to justify doing so.

Collins knew of the better waters and soils and better settlement places, and perhaps chose not to look beyond his immediate privations “to settle in the upper part of the harbour” because he did not want to do so.

The serenity of spring at Sullivan’s Cove soon turned to summer. Collins recorded temperatures of 102 degrees

Fifty mark anniversary ABOUT 50 people marked the 210th anniversary, organised by the Friends of the Collins Settlement, at Collins Settlement Centre in Sorrento on Sunday 13 October. Attendees included Environment Minister Greg Hunt, Nepean MP Martin Dixon, Rev Nicholas Wallace of St John’s Church in Sorrento, Dorothy Houghton (an advocate for establishing the centre), four members of Sorrento Sailing Club, six descendants of settlers and their families, and settlement friends.

Descendants brought posies of flowers and placed them at the centre’s monument.

inside his tent and 132 degrees in the sun. Three varieties of venomous snakes were identified along with “stinking water” and “foul swamps inhabited by myriads of mosquitoes of an extraordinary size”.

Then came the season of the march fly “which swarms almost beyond belief, possess all the offensive powers of the mosquito, its sting creating an equal degree of pain and inflammation.”

A “barbarous country” wrote surveyor George Prideaux to his brother in January 1804 at the height of summer.

Perhaps this was the last straw for Collins. He didn’t know what to do with the free settlers and their families. The ironmongery provided

by London was totally unfit for use.

The medical instruments supplied were found to have been in use before and Collins never had less than 30 people under medical treatment.

Discipline fell away and desertions increased. Collins dealt with this by chaining one recaptured convict to another and placing them on reduced rations. Insubordinate privates were savagely flogged, one with 700 lashes.

Unlike the pacific encounters of Murray, Flinders and Grimes with the indigenous people, Collins’s encounters with the Wathaurong people were marked by hostility, the firing of muskets and death.

Writing after his abandonment of the settlement, he explained that “… were I to settle in the upper part of the harbour, which is full of natives, I should require four times the force I have now to guard not only the

convicts, but perhaps myself, from their attacks”.

Collins had lost his nerve. He abandoned the Port Phillip settlement and Bass Strait after less than four months and departed with the remaining convicts, military and free settlers for Hobart.

He left the escaped convict William Buckley as the sole remnant of the settlement.

Calcutta passed Flinders Island and, ignoring his instructions, Collins left no small guard and a few convicts there but proceeded directly to the site of modern Hobart, arriving on 15 February 1804.

He left Bass Strait unsecured against French exploration and possible settlement and delayed by 30 years the foundation of Melbourne and the wealth that would be brought by the inevitable discovery of gold beyond.

What then is the measure of the Collins the colonist and pioneer?

As a marine officer experienced in the practical administration of the law and the convict system under Governor Phillip, Collins chose to ignore his instructions about the strategic importance of Bass Strait as a shorter route to Sydney.

He knew enough of the favourable and hospitable Arthurs Seat hinterland and what he later referred to as “the upper part of the harbor” of Port Phillip but, with declining discipline and preferring his own safety, chose not to look further for a permanent, more-hospitable settlement for Port Phillip’s First Fleet.

Collins’s settlement at Hobart fared better but not before, now for the third time, he experienced isolation and semi-starvation. However, his settlement at Hobart did not meet the strategic objectives of his instructions to secure Bass Strait as a shorter route to Sydney.

As Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen’s Land, his authority was problematic. When the Rum Rebellion displaced Governor Bligh from Sydney to Hobart in 1808, Bligh was Collins’s unwelcome guest.

Bligh had Collins’s son tied up and flogged with two dozen lashes for insubordination.

Although Governor Bligh was now only nominally senior to Lieutenant-Governor Collins, this was an extraordinary occurrence Collins allowed to happen in his own jurisdiction – both as LieutenantGovernor and as a parent. Collins later remarked of his unwelcome guest – perhaps less elliptically than he intended – “I know him now, and I shall ever think he merited what befell him, and much more than even suspension, unless that was from the end of a strong halter”.

Collins died of a heart attack in Hobart two years later in 1810 aged 54. According to Robert Hughes in Fatal Shore, Collins was “worn out by the strain of keeping his precious little colony alive”. His deceased estate was insolvent.  Hugh Fraser is a councillor for Nepean Ward on Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

When Kris Kross ruled the earth

By Stuart McCullough ONCE they were everywhere. Highspirited rappers roamed free across the earth, bringing joy into the lives of others through their ability to bust a rhyme. But almost without warning they were gone. Whether they were wiped out by an asteroid or a sudden change in temperature, I couldn’t say.

One day, they dominated the airwaves with pulsating beats and exhilarating lyrics. The next they were silenced by a chronic infestation of boy bands and Celine Dion. It was no longer enough for a rapper to be funny – you had to be shocking in order to drag attention away from all the pre-fabricated pop artists who rolled off the assembly line. The era of the friendly rap artist was over.

I love rap music, particularly the early stuff. It was welcome reprieve from the airbrushed arena rock of the era. Back in the eighties, rock music mostly meant men with long hair and make up who dressed like the world’s ugliest gymnastics team. Both the musicians and the music were airbrushed past the point of recognition. Rap music, however, was raw and untamed. It hadn’t yet fallen into the clutches of the multinationals that treat music like any other commodity; as something to be packaged, traded and ultimately consumed.

Back then, rap music felt genuine.

Not only did it lack the machinery associated with the music business, it lacked instruments too; relying instead on drum machines and samples taken from other people’s records.

Forget fifteen-minute drum solos and song cycles. Such extravagances are surplus to requirements in the world of hip-hop. Forget, too, dazzling costumes and rhinestone-encrusted jumpsuits. Rappers didn’t dress like gymnasts. They dressed like regular folks who just stepped off the street. Albeit regular folks with a lot of gold jewel-

lery and very nice sneakers. Except, of course, for Kris Kross.

Chris Kelly and Chris Smith were better known as Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac respectively. Discovered whilst rapping in a shopping mall in Atlanta in 1991, they released their debut single the following year. Sampling the Jacksons Five, the Ohio

Players and the Honey Drippers, Jump is three delightful minutes packed full of exuberant, dexterous rhyming that topped the charts in countries across the world including Australia. They were just twelve and thirteen years old at the time.

There was more to Kris Kross than their music. They also made a distinctive mark on the fashion world by wearing their clothes back to front.

Sadly, this failed to catch on more broadly, except for my nephew Noah who, when he was five, preferred his jeans the wrong way round because he considered the pockets at the back to be of superior quality and wanted them to ride up front. As for me though, I simply lacked the courage to go backwards.

I can’t say exactly what I was doing at the age of twelve, but I certainly wasn’t producing a world-straddling pop colossus like the boys of Kris Kross. Most likely I was spending my time trying to master the art of the necktie (it was part of the high school uniform) and pulling the perfect mono on my dragster.

In retrospect, I should have been rocking the microphone with my clothes on back to front.

The song Jump clocked in at just three minutes and seventeen seconds and their time at fame’s apex lasted only slightly longer. They sold millions of copies of the single and truckloads of the accompanying album, Totally Krossed Out, but it was all downhill from there. Isaac Newton’s Law of Diminishing Returns took ef-

fect and subsequent releases did not fare so well. Just like when the Village People gave up their kooky costumes and turned all arty and serious or the tragic day when KISS removed the makeup and the world was confronted with exactly how plug-ugly they were, a lot of the fun vanished when the duo began to wear their clothes the right way round. After a couple more albums they broke up in 1996.

Fame is a curious thing. It’s as elusive as lightning and just as dangerous.

To have achieved it so early in life must be a very strange thing. Most of us live our lives hopeful that our best days lie ahead. That’s hard to do when you achieve your first and only number one hit at the age of twelve. Sadly, Chris Kelly – or ‘Mac Daddy’ to his fans – passed away earlier this year.

He was just 34 years old. Pop music has always devoured its young; from Frankie Lymon onwards. But despite whatever personal tragedy might befall those who taste fame too young, there is always the music to remind of that brief, glittering moment when the world was theirs.

Recently, I celebrated ‘rap music appreciation week’. I prepared a playlist stuffed full of songs by The Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, RUN-DMC and the exquisite Kurtis Blow. There was House of Pain and Young MC too. And, of course, Kris Kross. As a small tribute, next week I will wear my clothes backwards. A fitting compliment to a true pioneer of hip-hop. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Old Boys in early strife after third loss PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully REIGNING MPCA Provincial champions Peninsula Old Boys are in some early season strife after their third straight loss this season.

The Old Boys are currently in last position on the ladder and look certain to miss the finals, given the talent of the sides holding the top six positions on the table.

The champions have taken just 15 wickets in their three games, clearly highlighting a deficiency at the club.

Runs against are also a concern, leaking the third most runs (689) this season behind Rye (734) and Moorooduc (701).

On Saturday, the Old Boys were humiliated by Sorrento, the side they beat in last year’s Grand Final.

Set 254 for victory, the Old Boys were bundled out for just 129.

The Old Boys may have been ‘lippy’ in the grand final last season, but they were sent packing from their home ground with their tails between their legs on the weekend.

Unlike Peninsula Old Boys, new kids on the block Langwarrin made light work of Rye and as a result sits on top of the Provincial table.

The Kangas set the Demons the massive task of scoring 308 for victory, however, as expected, they were lucky to get half way.

The home side was bowled out for 153 in the chase.

18-year-old left arm quick and First XI debutant Matt Davie, the son of Alan, was electric early, removing both openers and finishing with the tidy figures of 3/26.

Dwayne Doig wasn’t needed as much as usual but still managed to snare 2/31, while opening batsmen Mark Cooper and Taylor Smith both picked up a wicket also.

Mornington star all-rounders Luke Popov and Matt Harper were significant in their side’s 65-run victory against Mt Eliza.

Popov picked-up 4/48 and Harper 3/47 for the Doggies, who are currently undefeated and in second position on the ladder.

The Mounties’ top order failed to fire, except for Ben Tracy with 43, leaving the bulk of the scoring to the middle order and tail.

Tristan Faithful was the best of the Mt Eliza batsman with 56, but was forced to retire hurt.

Sam Creffield offered some resistance at the end with 28.

The match between Long Island and Crib Point went down to the wire, the Islanders getting home by just two runs.

After making 205 in week one of the match, the Magpies had the Islanders on the ropes at 8/158.

However, Jake Middleton (36) and Zac Clements (21), batting at nine and 10, ensured that the Islanders got over the line in a thriller.

The Magpies’ Luke Herrington picked-up four wickets, including those of Paul Hartle (11) and Scott Phillips (16).

Glen Barclay also helped himself to four wickets.

Baxter did what was expected and got the job done against Moorooduc.

Set 288 for victory, the Ducs were never in the hunt, losing their first three wickets for 25.

Keeper Nick Williams was the shining light in what was a bleak day for the Ducs, top scoring with 52.

Dale Irving was superb for Baxter with 5/79 from 18 overs, while Adrian Mack made it nine wickets in three matches with 4/33 off 17 overs.

Mack is in devastating form at the moment.

Heatherhill’s 174 last week didn’t look like enough to beat Mt Martha, however it proved to be 60-odd runs more than what they needed to get the points.

The Hills bowled out the Reds for just 106.

Matty Meagher was the star with 5/28 off 22 overs.

Meagher has taken 11 wickets in three matches this season.

Opening partner Daniel Woods snared 2/20 from 16.5 overs.

Thrashing: Hastings made fantastic use of the ball to bowl out Seaford for just 91 runs on the way to an impressive District win over Seaford Tigers. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

Tigers, Knights still searching for first win DISTRICT

By IT Gully SEAFORD and Ballam Park remain winless in MPCA District cricket after the opening three rounds of the season.

The Knights were relegated from Provincial last season and haven’t fared much better in the lesser grade, while Seaford has not been able to recover from the player losses it experienced in the off-season.

At the other end of the table, Somerville, Delacombe Park and Pines all remain undefeated.

Carrum and Hastings both have two wins from three matches and five sides have notched up one win each.

Main Ridge and Flinders played a one-day match on Saturday after a rain-affected day one.

It was a vital game for the Ridge, who came into the clash without a win.

They restricted Flinders to 7/153 from 40 overs, Jason Albress the best with the ball, taking 2/31 from 10 overs.

Louis Gillies was the chief run scorer for Flinders with an unbeaten 54, while Tim Clarke opened with 30.

In the chase, Michael Holmes got his side away to a flier with 52, while Gareth Wyatt made sure of the win with 35.

The Ridge got the runs with seven overs to spare.

Charlie Gillies was the best of the Flinders’ bowlers with 2/27 from seven overs.

Last year’s runner-up, Somerville, sits on top of the ladder after smashing Ballam Park.

Aaron Kaddatz tore through the Knights’ batting line-up, finishing with 5/18, while Keith Burdett had a trundle and picked-up 2/14.

Former Langwarrin Third XI player Zac Pedderson proved he has what it takes to play at the higher level, top scoring for the Knights with an unbeaten 41.

Delacombe Park made light work of Boneo, belting them by more than 150 runs.

Resuming with the bat after bowling out Boneo for 115 in week one of the match, the Parkers lost a couple of quick wickets before Jon Guthrie and Nick Christides steadied the ship.

Guthrie made 92 while ‘Chikko’ finished on 91. Ben Brittain had some valuable time in the middle, scoring 28 and Simon Dignan finished not out on 18.

The Parkers ended at 6/274 off its 85 overs.

Carrum and Seaford Tigers played out the closest two-day game of the round.

Carrum made 8/186 in week one of the clash and were able to bowl out the Tigers for 179 in the 60th over.

After losing Gavin Gardiner-Smith early, the Tigers got their innings back on track through Gavin Whyte (32) and Mark Carroll (19).

However, the Tigers found trouble again, losing three quick wickets before Dave James (30) and Ash Mills (68) provided a glimmer of hope for Seaford.

Jeremy Graves was simply superb for Carrum, picking up 7/52, while Matt Ryan snared two very timely wickets when the game appeared lost, first getting Mills and then closing down the innings, leaving the Tigers eight runs short of victory.

Hastings thrashed Seaford, winning by 90-odd runs.

The Blues made a more than competitive 188 last week and followed

up being superb with the ball, bowling out the opposition for just 91.

Ben King, Tim Birch and Luke Hewitt all picked up two wickets each for Hastings. King snared 2/0.

Ryan McQueen was the best of the Seaford batsmen, scoring more than half of the team’s runs with 56.

Pines was poor with the bat in week one of the match against Baden Powell, scoring just 153.

It proved to be enough runs to notch-up yet another win though after bowling out the Braves for just 105.

The Piners shared around the wickets, Ricky Ramsdale claiming three, Brett Hudgson helping himself to three and Pat Jackson and Brett Remy picking up a couple each.

Elia Carter and Sam Mullavey were the best of the Braves’ batsmen with 28 runs each.

Perfect record has Hillmen on top SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully RED Hill sits on top of the MPCA Sub District ladder with three wins from three matches.

Rosebud, Carrum Downs, Tyabb and Balnarring all have two wins while Dromana is the only side not to have registered a win this season.

On Saturday, Red Hill somehow defended its 110 against Tootgarook at the Red Hill Showgrounds.

At one stage, the Tooters were 5/6.

Klint James (16) and Travis French (25) offered a little bit of resistance before they lost their last five wickets for 21 runs.

Tootgarook was all out for 68.

Simon Dart, Glenn Collett and Brent Martin all picked up three wickets, while James McCall took 1/4 from 3.1 overs.

Red Hill had another bat and performed shockingly again, scoring just 115 in 56 overs.

Balnarring successfully defended its 98 against Dromana.

The Hoppers were bowled out for 87 with Jacob Cook claiming 4/37 and Mitchell Skvor 3/10 from 13 overs.

In their second dig, Balnarring batted for 48 overs and made 4/177, Tom Hilet top scoring with 43.

Rosebud got the win against Tyabb.

Chasing 142 for victory, the Buds resumed in a reasonable position and with Mathew Maher scoring 59 and Brian Doughty 26,

they were able to cruise to victory. They were eventually bowled out for 202.

Sam Holland-Burch was the best of the Yabbiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 4/37 from 11 overs.

Frankston YCW enjoyed a rare win, beating Pearcedale by 20 runs.

Chasing just 97 for victory, the Stonecats looked shaky all the way through their innings, but managed to make 113 in 57 overs.

Shayne Gillings was the pick of the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 5/39, while Kaine Smith snared 3/21.

In the final match of the round, Carrum Downs cruised to victory against Skye in a one-day match.

Skye batted first and made 9/123 in its 40 overs. Patrick Beckham top scored for Skye with 32, while Steven Worker took 3/20 for the Cougars.

The Cougars then got the runs with five overs to spare, thanks largely to the innings of Shane Walford (46) and Josh Spittal (38).

Stumped: Seaford Tigers lose a wicket to Hastings in their District match loss at the weekend. Picture: Andrew Hurst
