Brush strokes explore water movement WHAT’S a “paint-out”? Why, it’s a group of people getting together to paint a given subject, of course. This one: “At the water’s edge…” complements Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s summer exhibition, On the Beach. Enthusiastic artists in the paint-out focused on the intricate patterns of water movement at the water’s edge near the Canadian Bay Club, Mt Eliza, Thursday. Coincidentally, the movie On the Beach was filmed at Mt Eliza in the early 1960s starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner and Fred Astaire. “This group is not a formal art group or society as such, just people who heard we were putting it on and were especially keen to come along knowing landscape artist and instructor Colin Johnson was the instructor,” organiser Jane German said. For the past five years the gallery has included a summer paint-out at an idyllic location – last year was Balcombe estuary, Mt Martha, and this year the Canadian Bay Club, which Ms German said had been “generous and welcoming”. The club was closed for a large part of last year for redevelopment. “When I told them what I was doing they were quite happy to offer the space and promote it to a group of people that may not have otherwise known about the club,” Ms German said.

Schools cleared after bomb threats Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au BOMB threats created a dramatic start to the school year for hundreds of children on the Mornington Peninsula. Pupils at Mornington Park, Eastbourne and Sorrento primary schools spent a terrifying afternoon evacuated or in lockdown after their schools re-
ceived the hoax calls – most via automated messages. For many pupils it was their second day of school. By Friday the perpetrators appeared no closer to being caught, with senior police still saying the calls appeared designed to “cause disruption and attract media attention”. Education Minister James Merlino said 20 schools across Victoria had re-
ceived threatening phone calls alluding to bombings and shootings. Sorrento Primary School principal Meg Dallas said her 320 pupils had been evacuated to the nearby community centre for one hour after staff received an automated call. She said the school’s emergency management plan covered bomb threats, and staff and pupils had responded “fantastically”.
“They moved quickly and quietly to the community centre and the members there were magnificent, too,” Ms Dallas said. Eastbourne Primary School principal Steve Wilkinson said a hoax call at midday saw the evacuation of 400 pupils to the “safest place – the school oval. The safety and welfare of our pupils is our priority”. “We told the children straight out
that we had an emergency and then enacted our management plan; the staff and pupils were magnificent and the whole process went like a drill, very smoothly,” Mr Wilkinson said. The adjacent Seawinds Community Hub provided drinks and toilets. Mornington Park Primary School principal Bev Dadds said an automated call at 12.15pm alerted them to the threat. Continued Page 10

Council nod to lift expenses David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au TWO Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors have overspent their seminars and conferences allowance, one by more than 92 per cent. Figures up to the end of January included in a councillor briefing show Cr Antonella Celi has racked up $30,810 against an entitlement of $16,000, which is $14,810 (92.6 per cent) above her entitlement. Fellow Seawinds ward councillor David Gibb has spent $19,147, an overspend of $3147 or 19.6 per cent. Chief financial officer Matt Hubbard said the extra expenses incurred by Crs Celi and Gibb had been approved by “council resolution” for them to attend “additional professional education programs governed by examinations”. He said this type of spending was available to all councillors. Cr Celi has been doing a $10,000 diploma in local government since early in her term on council, leaving only $6000 for other spending under the shire’s Councillor Resource Expense Entitlements Policy. All councillors are entitled to $4000 a year, or $16,000 over the four-year council term. Cr Gibb used $7000 for a director’s course, leaving only $9000 before he reached his $16,000 allowance ceiling. Cr Celi’s spending comprises near-
ly 20 per cent of what all councillors have spent on seminars and conferences since the 2012 elections, the figures reveal. In contrast, the table sent to councillors in the briefing papers show Cr Andrew Dixon has spent nothing so far in this term, which ends with the council election on 22 October. Cr Celi referred inquiries from The News to communications and media manager Mark Kestigian. The third Seawinds councillor, the mayor Graham Pittock, has chalked up $10,505 (excluding an estimated $6000 trip to Paris), taking the ward total to $60,462 for the period. Nepean ward’s Hugh Fraser (who also went to paris at an estimated cost of $6000) and Tim Rodgers each spent between $15,000 and $16,000, for a total of $30,949. Briars ward’s three councillors combined, Anne Shaw, Bev Colomb and Cr Dixon, have spent $22,926 in total. Cr Pittock said his ward colleagues were “hard-working councillors and probably needed the extra funds”. According to the shire figures Cr Celi spent $8336 in 2012-13, exceeding by $4336 that year’s entitlement. Councillors can “borrow” from future years to attend conferences and seminars but must not exceed the four-year limit. In 2013-14 Cr Celi spent a further $8362, bringing her total spend to $16,698, or $698 over her four-year entitlement in two years. Page 10
Three times the fun: Triplets Donna, Dimitri and Andreas Watson enjoyed their first day at Mornington Primary School last week. Picture: Yanni
School’s first day triple treat THAT first day at school … It’s often a mixture of angst, excitement and anticipation – coupled with an organisational challenge for parents. Well, just imagine increasing the stakes threefold! That was the case for one local family last week when triplets Donna, Dimitri and Andreas Watson turned up
for prep classes at Mornington Primary, Vale St, for the first time. The two boys and one girl were popular arrivals. “They are the only triplets at the school and we believe they are the first ever triplets here at Mornington Primary,” business manager Olympia Maselli said.
Dad Carl said the children got along well but were happy to be in separate grades in the school’s junior open learning centre. “They spend enough time together and it will be good for them to meet up with other children,” he said. The triplets will turn five on 17 February.

Blip in Bauer’s preselection bid Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au DUNKLEY preselection hopeful Donna Bauer has fallen foul of Liberal Party guidelines in her bid to win the party’s nomination as its candidate at the next federal election. The former Carrum state MP distributed leaflets last month to party members touting her credentials as the potential candidate for the seat of Dunkley before nominations closed and a candidate list was formalised by the Liberal Party. The early circulation of the leaflet to party preselectors before the candidate list was finalised is a breach of Liberal Party guidelines. Ms Bauer said she was unable to comment due to party rules forbidding candidates from publicly commenting on preselection matters but Victorian Liberal Party state director Simon Frost confirmed the breach of party guidelines and said as a result Ms Bauer had agreed to only distribute one more piece of preselection campaign material to preselectors. Nomination rivals will be able to distribute up to three pieces in total compared to Ms Bauer’s two. “It has been brought to the attention of the Secretariat that there was a breach in the preselection guidelines by Ms Bauer, which she acknowledges,” Mr Frost said. “In keeping with the spirit of the guidelines and fairness to other nomi-
nees Ms Bauer has been penalised as per party rules.” Since Ms Bauer has breached guidelines, not party rules, there is no suggestion that she will face further sanctions although The News understands the guidelines breach will be highlighted to preselectors. The party’s candidate will be decided later this month. Kingston councillor Paul Peulich, the son of Liberal state Upper House MP for the South Eastern Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich, and former Liberal Isaacs candidate Peter Angelico are among candidates to have put themselves forward as potential Liberal candidates for Dunkley. Mr Angelico withdrew as the Liberal candidate for Isaacs before the 2010 federal election after an industrial accident at his Dandenong steel business crushed the tips of three fingers on a teenage worker’s hand. The seat of Dunkley will be vacated by former small business minister Bruce Billson at the next federal election, to be held this year, due to his exit from politics after his demotion from cabinet late last year by incoming Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. The Dunkley electorate includes the suburbs Frankston, Langwarrin, Mt Eliza, Mornington, Seaford and Skye. Labor has chosen lawyer Peta Murphy to contest Dunkley. Mr Billson held the seat for 20 years but Labor strategists have Dunkley in their sights as a potential ‘gain’ as an often marginal seat.

SPORTING and active recreation clubs in Mornington are being encouraged to apply for funding in VicHealth’s active club grants program. “This funding is vital to helping many more Victorians get the recommended minimum of 2.5 hours per week of moderate physical activity,” Mornington MP David Morris said. “As well as the health benefits of keeping us fit and preventing illness, exercise helps reduce stress and keeps us alert and resilient. Research also shows that it’s a great way to get social. “Sport builds community pride and loyalty and offers people the chance to get involved, providing them with a positive sense of self-worth.” The grants aim to make clubs safer and more accessible by funding essential equipment, such as bats, portable goals, uniforms and balls. This round, VicHealth will be placing a particular focus on supporting sporting clubs and organisations that can attract more members, or improve participation opportunities among the Aboriginal community. VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter said VicHealth was proud to continue to support local sporting organisations. “In awarding these grants, special consideration will also be given to applications from clubs in areas of socio-economic disadvantage, as well as clubs/organisations who can demonstrate that an active club grant will increase opportunities for regular physical activity in their community,” he said. VicHealth’s Active Club Grants applications close Friday 4 March. Details: vichealth.vic.gov.au/activeclub

THE lack of suitable fuel depots for giant fire-fighting “air cranes” means the Mornington Peninsula is less well protected against catastrophic bushfires than it could be. The fuel, called AVTUR, is not stored anywhere on the peninsula, meaning the air cranes have to travel back to either Moorabbin or Essendon airports for refuelling – or depend on a road tanker from the refinery at Altona. During the disastrous – but relatively small – 18 January fires at Crib Point, a tanker was sent from 83 kilometres from Altona to refuel the Erickson water bomber at Tyabb. It was delayed by heavy traffic and is banned from road tunnels. The water bomber crews elected to fly back to Moorabbin to refuel, but were recalled to Tyabb when the road tanker arrived, losing fire-fighting time. The size of the air crane’s payload is described as a “fine balance” between its fuel and water loads – meaning the less fuel it has to carry the more water it can dump on a fire. On 18 January one house and several outbuildings were destroyed. No lives were lost, but the day could have been worse and fire crews are bracing for more dangerous fires in the future and having the special fuel on the pen-

insula would give them an advantage. Peninsula Aero Club vice president Jack Vevers said the air crane fighting the Crip Point fire lost “up to two cycles of refuelling” by going to Moorabbin and Tyabb. He said a peninsula depot for AVTUR fuel was urgently needed. He said an incident at Portsea “a couple of summers ago” – when emergency services helicopters wasted precious minutes flying back to Moorabbin to refuel while searching for a missing woman – proved his point. Mr Vevers said emergency services
helicopters, including police searchand-rescue helicopters monitoring Western Port and southern Port Phillip, would also be able to use the expensive fuel, which would have a sixmonth use-by date before “going off”. He said it was not up to the airfield to “justify or instigate” development of an AVTUR depot. “It’s [Mornington Peninsula] shire’s responsibility,” he said. “We are just a willing participant. “We are keen to support the air crane at Tyabb as well as fixed wing and rotary if that would help improve their fire-fighting capabilities here.” Cr David Garnock, whose Cerberus Ward was most affected by the 18 January fires, said the shire’s municipal emergency management planning committee had asked the aero club to submit a written proposal for the AVTUR depot. “I’m not shooting it out of the water. If it’s got legs I will push it, but it’s up to the Tyabb airfield to establish the case.” Cr Garnock said other considerations included justifying the expense of keeping the fuel here “just to be ready” when the CFA was already experienced in managing its own fuel supplies in emergencies. “I’d like to hear the CFA’s views. They might be against it.” Steve Taylor

Mornington Yacht Club sails into its 70th MORNINGTON Yacht Club has come a long way since 11 interested residents met to discuss forming a sailing club in February 1946. Members of the founding group wanted to sail their assorted collection of boats off Shire Hall beach. In May that year Mornington Council leased the group an ex-Army hut close to the pier. This served as the catalyst for development of competitive sailing in the district. Now, 70 years later, the vibrant and diverse club with more than 750 members will hold an open day on the weekend of 20-21 February. The Back to Mornington YC Weekend will be open to the public and past members are being encouraged to attend. Features will include displays of historic photographs and boats, a 70th anniversary fleet race on the Saturday close to pier and shore viewing places, live music , free morning and afternoon tea, and opportunities to sail. Back in the early days, the heavyweight Sharpie introduced in 1947 served as the backbone of the club for the next 10 years. Inter-club sailing took place between Black Rock, Mordialloc, Chelsea and Frankston yacht clubs. The Sharpie era culminated in the club holding a successful state championship in 1951. In those days there was limited training for junior sailors other than learning the ropes as a bailer boy in Sharpies. This all changed in 1956 with the introduction of the Sabot as a training boat for juniors which was supported by a home-building

program. This became the foundation for the club and introduced hundreds of boys and girls to sailing as a sport. For many years the Sabot fleet was the largest in the state and Mornington members won six state titles and two Australian championships. In the past 10 years or so the Sabot has been replaced by the Optimist with similar success. In 1964 the club had 156 members, a number which increased rapidly following a grant of reclaimed land near the pier on which a new clubhouse was built.
New classes were introduced, including the Gwen 12, Cherub, Fireball and Mirror dinghy as a family class. The first Flying Fifteen in Australia sailed at Mornington and became one of the major classes at the club. Several are still sailing today and share the hard-stand area with a fleet of Etchells. In the mid-1950s a strong keelboat fleet began at the club and ocean racing flourished with Mornington yachts winning divisions of the Sydney to Hobart, Queenscliff to Devonport, Melbourne to Hobart and Sydney to Noumea ocean races.
Keelboat racing is still important, with weekly races for two divisions of keelboats and for the strong trailable yacht fleet which continues to grow. Club members have won around 20 state and five national titles and one world championship. The club has also hosted several state, national and one world championship. Not all the sailing at Mornington is ultra-competitive and the club runs a Thursday evening twilight series in summer. In 1999 club members established a Sailability program to provide sailing experience for those with disabilities.

Boxing a way to peace, happiness Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au TO some, boxing may seem a strange road to travel in search of peace. But that is exactly the destination where the lessons in life handed out by boxing trainer Ron Smith can lead. The Mt Eliza-based former professional boxer admits to making mistakes while growing up, but says he learned from those to be a better man. Now 71, Smith is an advocate for peace, harmony and self-respect; attributes he passes on to people of all ages attending the Mt Eliza Boxing Centre he runs with his wife Sharyn. The philosophies espoused by Smith resonated so much with Jack Ahern that they are now neatly compressed into a biographic documentary. Ahern, 18, is a year 12 student at Mt Eliza Secondary College who last year took on accelerated media studies which called for him to produce a short video. It didn’t take him long to realise the potential screen presence of the man who had been teaching him boxing for the previous couple of years. In that time Smith had become “a second father figure� helping Ahern through some personal issues that “motivated me to be fit and healthy not just in the body but in the mind as well�. “I chose Ron as my subject because I wanted to make my first short film an inspirational story that the audience would find intriguing and that they would be proud of one of their local residents,� Ahern now says of
Shooting success: A Mt Eliza business has asked secondary college student Jack Ahern to make a commercial video following a short documentary he filmed and edited about boxer Ron Smith. Picture: Yanni
The Boxer, a film about the life and philosophy of personal trainer and former professional boxer, Ron Smith. “With all the violence I hear about in the news I wanted to show young people that it's not the boxing that makes the man, but the man that makes the boxer,� Ahern says, quoting one of Smith’s axioms. “I also wanted to expose the life of Ron, as little is known about this local hero and all the work he has done to change the lives of young individuals and put them back on the right path after suffering from issues such as drugs, alcohol, weight and mental health problems.� Smith, a veteran of 108 competition fights and a contemporary of Johnny Famechon, regularly helps the former world champion try to overcome the debilitating effects of being hit by a car 24 years ago. Using a Nikon D3100 DSLR camera complete with sliders, stabilisers, tripods and external microphones, Ahern spent much of last year producing, filming and editing The Boxer, which overlays an interview with Smith with shots of gym workouts, Smith at home exercising, meditating at the beach and Smith and Famechon. Ahern acknowledges the “outstanding� support and advice of his media teacher Arturo Tallarida and says he had to look no further than fellow student Jordan Finlay for creating his soundtrack. “For the original music, A long journey ahead of us, I explained to Jordan what I was after and he came up with an amazing piece,� Ahern
says. “I spent many, many hours editing the film and I was really pleased with the end result. I have had quite a lot of positive feedback which has been great.� Among the feedback was a commission from a Mt Eliza business for a promotional video, which is now nearing completion. One of the college’s four captains this year, Ahern would like a career in filming. “I'm attracted to many subjects that I would like to film in the future, I really like the idea of exposing local heroes and telling stories about the Mornington Peninsula for which there are so many stories to tell,� he says. “I would also like to make some underwater and surfing films as the peninsula has some really interesting marine life and outstanding scenery.� And university? Maybe. “I have learnt so much from making the film about Ron. Not only about how I can improve my techniques but also how much I have been motivated and inspired by my second father who has taught me so much more then boxing, school, fitness, relationships and that the most important thing in life is to be happy and to live healthy.� But the final words, as in the film, should belong to Smith, the man who says boxing opened many doors in his life: “There’s far too much aggression in the world today. You need to respect yourself and others.� View The Boxer at: www.youtube.com/ watch?v=UzMLGbmUlzc

Y! LY* R R HU E ON
Thieves dump icon, but keep jewellery AN image of the Virgin Mary stolen from the Greek Orthodox church, Red Hill, has been found. Mornington Peninsula CIU detectives were told two thieves entered the church, on Arthurs Seat Rd, around 3.50am Sunday. CCTV footage shows them approaching a sealed glass box containing an icon of the Virgin Mary and gold jewellery. After unsuccessfully trying to smash the glass, the thieves removed the case from the counter top, stealing the icon and assorted jewellery. The case, Virgin Mary icon and other smaller pieces of jewellery were found, Thursday, on the side of White Hill Rd, Red Hill, not far from the church. Police believe the items were dumped a few
days before, but they say most of the jewellery stolen during the raid is still missing. This is the second robbery at the church in 18 months. In mid-2014, the glass covering the image was shattered by thieves who entered a side door on a Wednesday afternoon, but fled when The Rev Father Eleftherios Tatsis came into the church. In that raid about $300,000 worth of gold chains, watches, coins and rings donated over almost 30 years, stolen. Much of the gold and jewellery lay scattered near the door as the thieves made their escape. The icon was left behind that time. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000, or to submit a confidential report at crimestoppers.vic.com.au

Schools evacuated after threats Continued from Page 1 “I rang the police and made an emergency announcement to staff asking them to gather the children and class rolls and assemble on the school oval,” Ms Dadds said. “We grabbed a big box of fruit on the way. When we had made sure everyone was there we called the education department and the police who were amazing; we felt that we were really being supported. “The children and the staff were calm and we had all our procedures in place.” Ms Dadds said the 195 children were on the oval for 90 minutes. Parents were notified and many collected, while others were taken inside after
being given the all clear. A review of practices in the wake of the emergency has meant the school now has keys to the adjacent Narambi reserve and Currawong community centre toilets. Mornington police visited the school again next day. Chief Police Commissioner Graham Ashton said that although the threats were a “hoax scenario” each one needed to be taken seriously. “It may be that a particular call is not a hoax,” Mr Ashton said on Tuesday. Federal and Victoria Police had been investigating the calls since Friday week. They were not regarded as terrorist-related, although federal police were investigating their “international elements”. Outgoings: A table showing spending by individual councillors provided in a briefing note.
Councillors’ expenses Continued from Page 3 Then in 2014-15 Cr Celi’s spending was $12,835, bringing her total to $29,533. She has added $1276 to that sum in the current year, for a total of $30,810. The most recent debate, in council and in public, about councillor spending on conferences and seminars, followed the decision last November to send councillors Graham Pittock and Hugh Fraser to the Paris climate change conference. The Paris request went to council’s 23 November meeting where an officer’s report estimated the cost of each councillor’s attendance at $6146 plus incidental expenses. The estimated cost of sending the two councillors to Paris would not push either councillor over their $16,000 four-year limit, according to the officer report – a statement that appears in each staff report to council on applications to attend conferences or seminars. It has since been revealed that the shire’s renewable resources team leader Jess Wingad accompanied Crs Pittock and Fraser to Paris. After close questioning in a long and heated debate about the need for the shire to be represented at the climate change conference, councillors approved the applications. But, in amended resolutions, councillors Pittock and Fraser were required each to present a report to council on their return. It was also resolved that “a fully itemised expenditure report relating to the conference be tabled to council” for each councillor. As well, it was resolved that the cost of Cr Fraser’s attendance “be capped to the $16,000 four-year term limit”. All councillors took part in these votes, apart from the two prospective attendees, who left the chamber to avoid any conflict of interest.

Ambassador on market
PAGE 10
Mornington News 9 February 2016
THE Ambassador Hotel function centre in Frankston is being demolished but the site is back on the market after a sale at auction late last year fell through. Winning bidder Harry Matsoukas said he was “not involved with that any more” when contacted by The News last month. Lender the Jadig Group repossessed the property at 325 Nepean Highway late last year after previous owner Joanna Kordos, who had planned to build 37 apartments at the site, did not make loan payments. Jadig Group managing director Jack Gringlas said the company had decided to demolish the function centre since Frankston Council had grown increasingly frustrated with repeated failures by Ms Kordos to tear down the building, regarded as an eyesore and magnet for drug users. “I took the view that if we have to put it back on the market it’s going to be much more saleable as a vacant block,” Mr Gringlas said. Mr Gringlas said the Jadig Group is in negotiation with several potential buyers and is looking for about $2.5 million for the property.

New principal: Anthony Banks “values the importance of the faith-based education of the whole person�.
School leader aims to add vision, values and ideals PADUA College has appointed Anthony Banks as its new principal. He and wife Sacha are back living in Mornington with their four children, Aurelia, 10, Ava, 8, Raphael, 6 and Layla, 4, after two years in Mildura as principal of St Joseph’s College. Mr Bank’s says he is “thrilled and excited to be back in this beautiful part of the world�. He sees his role as “not a position of power or prestige, but as a position of privilege and service�. “I look forward to serving the wonderful Padua College Community, which has the Catholic education of our young people at the centre of all that we do on a daily basis,� he said. Originally from a farming community in the Western District, Mr Banks attended Catholic schools in Ballarat. After 25 years as a teacher, he “values the importance of the faith-based education of the whole person espoused by Catholic education�. “I intend to be respectful of following such a fine and long serving leader of the college in Christopher Houlihan, mindful of what is hap-
pening at the college this year and hopeful of the future directions of the college,� he said. “Of course, I intend to add my vision, values and ideas and am looking forward to this exciting time in our development.� This year the college will undertake a facilities masterplan of the Mornington Campus to allow for the growth in student numbers that are expected over the next two years, and will participate in the school review-improvement plan process conducted by the Catholic Education Melbourne. As part of the facilities masterplan process the college will prepare an educational brief “aimed at developing the best educational model to ensure the academic success of our students over the coming years�, Mr Banks said. “We will also build on the strategies that have been put in place at the college over the past few years to ensure that academic rigor is at the forefront of our learning and teaching.� The college has campuses at Mornington, Rosebud and Tyabb.
Students back on the bus STUDENTS and trainees left stranded when the federal government cut funding for the PenBus service are now back on the road. The state government has announced a dedicated bus service between Rosebud and Monash University’s Peninsula campus. The 12-month trial service is a funding partnership between the government, Mornington Peninsula Shire and Monash University. Route 887 will begin on 22 February in time for the start of first semester, and will follow the same route as PenBus. Six express round trips a day, Monday to Friday, will connect with Monash University’s inter-campus shuttle to
Clayton. The bus will also be available to the public, with stops at Rosebud, Safety Beach, Mt Martha, Mornington, Mt Eliza, Frankston station and Monash Peninsula Campus. The first service will leave Rosebud at 6.47am, arriving at Frankston station at 7.37am and the Monash University Peninsula campus eight minutes later. The last service leaves Monash University’s Peninsula campus at 6.18pm arriving at Rosebud at 7.18pm. For timetables and details, visit ptv.vic.gov.au, download the PTV app or call 1800 800 007.
Lining up and signing up for pier MEMBERS of the Save the Dromana Pier group made the most of the crowds at the Australia Day celebrations to get their point across. “We had a marquee close to the shore end of the pier and nearly 500 people completed the survey form then and there,� committee chairman Ray Barnard-Brown said. “We were seeking public opinion as to what people would like in a new pier when one is built after the existing pier is demolished in a few years. “All who stopped were very supportive of what we are trying to achieve: to ensure that Dromana does not find itself without a pier at some time in the near future. “The interest shown was enormous and not one person suggested that a replacement pier should not be constructed when the existing pier is demolished.�
“I think this was a staggeringly good result and will provide us with a very good idea of what people want in a new pier.� The group has about 20 members.

Pledge of faith to country and religion CHILDREN brought up within the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community are being taught to be loyal to Australia. “We will prove it with our actions and deeds that our youth are the best citizens of Australia and they will be well educated,” Inamul Haq Kauser said when speaking at an Australia Day dinner. Guests at the dinner Sunday 31 January for 300 at the Baitu-us-Salam (House of Peace) Mosque, Langwarrin, included members of parliament, councillors and police. Imam Kauser, national president of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, gave assurances that the children of Ahmadi Muslims “will be loyal to this country”. The imam told diners that Ahmadis were persecuted throughout the world, particularly in Pakistan, and were grateful to have been allowed to settle in Australia. He described houses and shops belonging to Ahmadi Muslims in other countries being “robbed and reduced to rubble”. Ahmadi mosques were ordered shut by local imams and authorities. “Hundreds of Ahmadi Muslims have been killed merely for worshiping Allah or God,” Imam Kauser said. “Australia is such a great country, who has given shelter to us, who has shared our pain and suffering. We are very thankful to this country. I’ve no wordings how to convey that feelings which my community has,” Imam Kauser said. “We pledge that we’ll always be loyal to Australia. We pledge that we will always be peaceful, loving and

law-abiding citizens of this country. We remember very well the sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad: The Love of your country is a part of your faith. With this commandment, we pledge our loyalty to Australia, to its people and its government.” Imam Kauser said Australia Day represented “a day of freedom”. “The announcement to the whole world that Australia is a free country and those who come and be Australians, they enjoy the freedom wherever they go,” he said.
“It is a day of celebrating peace for the victims ignored and suffered. This is like a shelter for them. It is like a homeland for them.” The event also included the raising of the Australia and Victorian flags, a recitation from the Koran and Ahmadi children singing the national anthem, Advance Australia Fair. South Eastern Metropolitan Region MP Inga Peulich said Ahmadiyya Muslims had done “a wonderful job … demystifying Islam and promoting interfaith dialogue and friendship”.

Local know-how on course for world class edge Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A GOLF course designed and developed by experts from the Mornington Peninsula has been ranked 24th best in the world – and it has been open just two months. The Cape Wickham Links course on King Island was given the honour by Golf Digest magazine from 32,000 courses world-wide. The Digest is regarded as the world’s most widelyread golf publication, with monthly exposure to 5.5 million readers. It produces its World’s 100 Greatest Golf Course rankings every two years. The links course was developed by Duncan Andrews, of Flinders, owner of The Dunes Golf Links, Rye, and was co-designed by Darius Oliver, of Mornington and American Mike DeVries.
The construction crew included Mark McIntosh, of Rye, irrigation design and installation; Geoff Baker, Mornington, irrigation installation; Programmed Turnpoint’ s Andrew Purchase, St Andrews Beach, project manager; Lindsay Richter, Dromana, main shaper, who built the greens, bunkers and tees; Glen Peck, Pearcedale, shaper; Clint Jensen, Rosebud, excavator operator; Stuart Purchase, Mt Martha, seeding and construction; and Pat Hura, St Andrews Beach, general construction. “It would be great for the work these guys did building one of the world’s best golf courses to be recognised,” Mr Oliver said. “They did an incredible job.” Golf Digest described the Cape Wickham course as one of the “hottest new layouts on the globe”. Editor Ron Whitten described the Cape Wickham
layout as “heart-pounding, starting along rocks and crashing surf, moving inland but not out of the wind, returning to ocean edge at the downhill 10th, pitch-shot 11th and drivable par-4 12th, then wandering into dunes before a crescendo closing hole curving along Victoria Cove beach, which is in play at low tides”. Mr Oliver, whose dream job as a course architect takes him all over the world evaluating courses and consulting with developers and designers, said Tasmania had two top 40 courses: Barnbougle Dunes 33 and Barnbougle Lost Farm, 40. He said Cape Wickham, which opened in late October, had already generated enough custom to warrant extra flights to the island, with seven airlines listed online. He said the publicity was attracting “a bunch of US golfers in the top
ryehill design services
100” to the island and was confident it would exceed their expectations. “I have been to 1500 courses in 50 countries and this is the best property I have seen, with its pristine coastline, layout, dune structure – and topped off by the tallest lighthouse in Australia overlooking it. “The locals are thrilled; they’ve had a fair bit of negative publicity over the past few years and the population is less than half its peak.” Although surprised by the speed at which the course entered the World’s Top 25, Mr Oliver said it was “validation of a quest to bring world-class golf to King Island”. “Our aim was to leave behind something special that would attract thousands of golfers to the island. All credit goes to [developer] Duncan Andrews for having the courage to invest in something so remote and so
risky, and for entrusting Mike DeVries and I with the design. We were largely unproven.” Mr Andrews said praise of the course was “naturally very gratifying”. “From day one all involved in the Cape Wickham project knew they were dealing with an exceptional piece of land, and to create anything less than a sublime golf experience would have been disappointing. It is pleasing that this is being formally recognised in a world context by an eminent magazine.” The par-72, 18-hole course 6150 metres long and as it is a public resort does not have member play. Fees are $150 for 18 holes or $195 all day. “That’s a popular choice, as many golfers play two rounds a day – including Premier [Daniel] Andrews,” Mr Oliver said.

Gallery volunteers reluctantly call ‘time’ AN established Flinders art gallery will close on Valentine’s Day (Sunday), with staff citing a shortage of new volunteers and reluctance by customers to spend on art works. The Studio @ Flinders gallery has been run by volunteers for the past 12 years. But the five-member staff - Judi McCrum, Meredith Merrall, Ruth Petersen, Kaye Price and Kip Turner - are finding the going tough and their sense of commitment is starting to wane. “[The gallery] is all artist-run and people these days don’t seem to want to give up their time,” Ms Merrall said. The volunteers originally thought others would come in “to take over the running” of the gallery, in Cook St, but that hasn’t happened to the extent needed. “It’s quite a commitment,” Mrs Merrall said, pointing out that she had worked nine full days, 10am-5pm, over the past month, for the love of it. Now she’s ready for a little ‘me-time’. Another long-standing volunteer, Kip Turner, said people “are starting to hang onto their dollars and one of the first things they let go of is art”. “They go to the $2 shop and buy things because they are financially not comfortable,” she said. The gallery started out with 12 partners of whom three remain out of the five now working. “It’s very hard to get others in but, let’s face it, I’m 67 and some of the others are 10 years older than me.” Ms Turner said the gallery’s focus had always been on promoting peninsula artists’ works in leather, wood, paintings and ceramics. “I will certainly miss seeing their work. It’s been
Sad to go: Kip Turner says it had been a privilege to sell peninsula artists’ works. Picture: Yanni
fantastic and a privilege to sell. “In Australia we don’t recognise our artists and it’s hard to get people excited by their works; hopefully that’s starting to change but people are fairly conservative down here.” Ms Turner said during the past 12 years the gallery had become a fixture in Flinders and a favourite of locals and visitors to the Mornington Peninsula. “The variety of works displayed has
been exceptional and we have shown and sold many beautiful artworks over the years.” Ms Turner said the gallery’s annual Melbourne Teapot Exhibition had “become a regular and much anticipated event on our calendar”. “Artists from all over Australia participated and, as well as having many famous potters exhibit, our judges were equally well-known, particularly in the ceramic world.
“The support we have had in the past from the local community has been strong and greatly appreciated by all the members of our team. In addition, the sponsorship we have had from local companies and businesses has been exceptional. “Without their generosity and support the teapot exhibition would not have been able to offer such attractive prizes to our participants.” Ms Turner said the gallery staff
“hoped to go out with a flourish and give people the opportunity to come in and say goodbye”. They are offering a 15 per cent discount on works still in the gallery until the 14 February closure. “We feel very much a part of the Flinders profile and will leave with a great deal of sadness,” she said. “The gallery has been a passionate and beloved commitment on our part for a long time.” Steve Taylor

IF you’re one of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who suffer joint pain, osteoarthritis, tendinopathy or bursitis you’ll be aware of how difficult it can be to find relief, especially long-term relief. Often benefits from treatments for these conditions are short lived or involve ongoing medication or surgery. Long- term solutions are not easy to come by, especially natural ones with proven medical effectiveness. But thanks to the latest advances in medical science and the partnership between one of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal and sports podiatrists, Dr. Paul Dowie, and some of Australia’s leading orthopedic and regenerative medicine doctors and rehabilitation experts, ‘Joint & Tissue Regeneration Clinics’ has been born. Regeneration Clinics uses the latest medically proven regenerative therapies such as prolotherapy, platelet rich plasma (PRP) and autologous stem cell therapy along with nutrition therapy and exercise rehabilitation to achieve outstanding results in assisting healing and regenerating tissues. Regeneration Clinics has a team of leading experts working together across multiple modalities, to thoroughly assess, diagnose, prescribe, implement and review comprehensive and holistic treatment plans. “If we can assist the function of damaged tissue, correct and re-educate muscle patterns and identify stresses, deficiencies, biological weaknesses and sensitivities we can provide all the support the body needs to heal itself, with the help of these wonderful new regenerative therapies.” Dr. Dowie says “We’ve been able to assist thousands of people to avoid surgery and harmful medications
as well as help many who’ve previously been told nothing can be done for them. Assisting people to get their lives back through increased mobility and relief from pain, without negative side-effects, is very rewarding,“ Dr. Dowie says. If you have painful or arthritic joints, injuries that won’t heal, or damaged tissue such as tendons, ligaments, muscles or cartilage, ‘Regeneration Clinics’ just may be your answer. ‘Regeneration Clinics’ are located in Nepean Highway, Moorabbin and Kew East.

OAM for yachtie who helped create first ‘wingsail’ Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au VETERAN international yachtsman John Houston Buzaglo is known around the world as “Buz” although some of his mates have taken to calling him Sir Buz after he was awarded an OAM on Australia Day. Now in his 92nd year, the Mornington resident was given a gong for “services to sailing as a yachtsman and [sailing] instructor”. Buzaglo is best known for co-founding a syndicate that built the world’s first solid-sail racing yacht – it looks like an airplane wing atop a catamaran. Sponsored by Melbourne-based Nylex Corporation, the C Class catamaran Miss Nylex was built in 1971 and defended the International Catamaran Challenge Trophy (more popularly known as the Little America’s Cup) against New Zealand in 1974. It set the Australian speed record for a sailboat of 21 knots in 1972, beat the best 18-footers in Sydney Harbour, and inspired a revolution in racing yacht design. (Nylex chief Peter (later Sir Peter) Derham, a keen yachtsman himself, was the man who backed the visionary project in 1971. On the peninsula, Sir Peter, who died in 2008 at age 83, was best known for starting Red Hill Estate winery.) Buzaglo’s love of boats started as a boy when he and his two younger brothers built canoes to paddle on a creek near their home in the Dandenong Ranges. In a sign of things to come, he once built a glider with a three-metre wing span. He installed the family cat as test pilot. On its first flight, the cat jumped out just before it crashed. In his teens he met lifelong mate John “Jock” Scrivenor, who introduced him to sailing in the summer of 1938-39 at Frankston Yacht Club. Buzaglo joined the Royal Australian Navy
All abuzz: John Buzaglo of Mornington was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia on 26 January for services to yachting. He is holding a photo of Miss Nylex, the “wingsail” catamaran that revolutionised international yacht racing including the modern America’s Cup. Picture supplied
in 1942 at age 17 and served on corvettes in the Indian and Pacific oceans, chasing enemy submarines, removing mines, and escorting supply fleets. He rose to the rank of sub-lieutenant and was gunnery officer on his last ship, HMAS Wagga, which was part of the liberation of Hong Kong. At war’s end he joined a firm called Moulded Products, headed by Melbourne plastics manufacturing pioneer John Derham, Sir Peter’s father. One of the company’s brand names was Nylex, and Moulded Products became Nylex in 1967, later becoming one of the great plastics makers in Australia and giving its name to the world-famous C Class cat.
Buzaglo built his first yacht, a 16 footer (4.8 metres), in his backyard at Cheltenham, and sailed it on Port Phillip with Kath and their two daughters Lynne and Robyn. They were founding members of Beaumaris Yacht Club and later joined Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron. In the 1950s he saw his first catamaran on the beach at Blairgowrie, near where he holidayed each summer with his family, and later bought an XY16 kit from the “father” of cat design in Australia, Charlie Cunningham. Buzaglo joined the Cunningham team on its C Class cat Quest in the 1960s and with Charlie’s son Lindsay had success in the United States and nearly won the Little America’s Cup in the
United Kingdom in 1965, capsizing when hit by a squall in sight of the finishing line while leading the Brits in the final race of the best-ofseven series. The Cunninghams finally won the coveted cup in 1970. The next year Buzaglo and his sailing mates Frank Strange and Chris Wilson founded the Miss Nylex syndicate to take on Quest at trials to pick an Australian defender for the 1972 series. Miss Nylex performed best but selectors chose Quest as they were worried about the radical wingsail being damaged during the defence against the Americans. The wingsail was designed by syndicate member Roy Martin, who worked at General Motors Holden in Port Melbourne. He was named Australian Yachtsman of the Year in 1974, the first time a designer had won. Miss Nylex won the right to defend the cup in 1974 and trounced New Zealand’s Miss Stars 4-0. Light winds ruined the 1976 defence off Sorrento and Miss Nylex was beaten by a lighter boat, Aquarius from the United States. After the syndicate disbanded, Buzaglo finished his 32-year career with Nylex Corporation, where he was advertising manager, in 1978 and he and Kath bought a property on Hunts Rd, Bittern, built a lake and started Linden Lake Sailing School, which he operated for 17 years, teaching thousands of children (and some adults) in a safe and controlled environment. The couple moved to a townhouse within a stone’s throw of Fishermans Beach in Mornington about 20 years ago. Until last year, Buzaglo was co-owner of a historic wooden fishing boat stored at the marina in Hastings and regularly threw a line into Western Port with his mates. In mid-2014 Buzaglo started his autobiography, which will be published this year. It’s called A wing and a prayer: how Australian ingenuity produced the world’s first solid wingsail catamaran and retained the Little America’s Cup.
Talks to help elderly abuse victims Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au “SOMEONE cries and asks for help” every time Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders chair Jeanette Lane and her group run an Elder Abuse Awareness Day. “People talk about family violence but we think elder abuse is about the second or third most common crime in the world,” Ms Lane said. “We run programs on elderly abuse at Rosebud, Hastings and McRae because we want to get the message out there and we see and hear about some dreadful aspects.” Ms Lane was talking in the lead up to
the fourth National Elder Abuse Conference, being held by Seniors Right Victoria at the Pullman on the Park hotel, Melbourne, 23-25 February. The topic has special relevance for older residents of the Mornington Peninsula, where more than 10 per cent are aged over 75 years. Shire statistics show a greater proportion of elderly residents live here than in the rest of Melbourne. The 2011 Census shows those aged 70-84 accounted for 12.3 per cent of 17,761 people, compared to Greater Melbourne’s 7.4 per cent of 16,400 people. Those aged 85 accounted for 2.9 per cent of 4197 people, compared to Greater Melbourne’s 1.8 per cent of

3255 people. At 11.7 per cent, Rosebud West has the peninsula’s highest proportion of people aged 85 and over. With the ABC’s Libby Gorr as MC, the conference aims to bring together practitioners seeking a national approach to tackling elder abuse. Its theme is Ageism, Rights and Innovations. Speakers are federal Attorney General George Brandis, Age Discrimination Commissioner Susan Ryan and Professor Marie Beaulieu, of Quebec, an expert on elder abuse. Other speakers are Professor Mick Dodson, of the Centre for Indigenous Studies, ANU, and Dr Jacqueline Berman, of New York, who will speak about the impact of elder abuse on older peoples’ mental health.
Seniors Rights Victoria says more than 90 per cent of all elderly abuse cases are by a relative. About 67 per cent of that abuse is by children. Ms Lane said she and a colleague, Evelyn Webster, “never stopped the whole time we were there” when running an elder abuse awareness program at Rosebud Plaza last year. She described pleas for help from elderly people being physically, emotionally and financially abused – often by their children – as “mindboggling and frightening”. “In one case, an elderly Rosebud man had been forced to live in the shed when his son took over his house. In another, two grandparents had been forced out of their home by their

grandchildren with just the clothes on their backs and were living on the foreshore,” Ms Lane said. “In one instance an elderly Mornington woman had gone to the bank only to find that her account had been cleaned out by her live-in son: she went home and abused him and told him not to touch her money. This was a positive action – not passive acceptance of the situation,” Ms Lane said. “She stood up to her son and was strong – that’s the key to beating it.” Positive-ageing summits will be held this year at Rosebud, Hastings and Mornington.

LETTERS Waste of energy It seems ludicrous in this day and age that a council can develop a comprehensive “strategic” plan over the past 20 months, yet come up with only two solutions: keep filling up the Rye tip or export the problem somewhere else. What a triumph of timidity and short sightedness. No wonder the councillors are at loggerheads. Irrespective of these two options, both of which incur additional expense for ratepayers, neither addresses the issue of greenhouse gas emissions. It makes Mornington Peninsula Shire's much vaunted zero emissions strategy a complete nonsense. The Municipal Waste Strategy points out that waste contributes 48 per cent or 16,976 tonnes of CO2 emissions. This will not change. The same strategy tells us that street lighting and electricity contribute 9689 tonnes (28 per cent) and 7023 tonnes (20 per cent) respectively, totalling 48 per cent. Waste, street lighting and electricity costs make up 96 per cent of the shire's emissions and this means an estimated $25 million of ratepayer revenue literally becomes CO2. The council has completely ignored waste to energy technology in its strategy. A consortium of councils in Western Australia signed off on a $400 million project, the Kwinana thermal waste facility, funded partly from federal and state governments. It will reduce the amount of landfill by using thermal technology to incinerate waste and convert it into energy. It seems quite obvious that this technology would achieve two things for the shire: reduce greenhouse gas from waste and reduce greenhouse gas from electricity and street lighting. Using our domestic waste to produce electricity and reduce emissions would seem an obvious solution. There are winners all round, not least the ratepayers. How about it, Mornington Peninsula Shire, will you update your waste strategy with this common sense solution? Ken Dyer, Rosebud West
Waste is waste Mornington Peninsula council has a "carbon neutral" policy (why?) and by closing the Rye tip nearly half of the shires' carbon gas emissions will be eliminated (“Council backflip over tip's future", The News 2/2/16). What a hoax. Any intelligent person could see that peninsula residents will still be producing the same waste and that if it is transported off the peninsula the carbon gases are still produced elsewhere. Similarly, our mayor [Cr Graham Pittock] enlightened by his free trip to the Paris talk fest, wants lots of wind power generators on the peninsula. My mind questioned his sanity but now I understand: all that wind power generated will allow "carbon credits" for the peninsula so that it could eventually have "zero carbon emissions". This great, worldwide, carbon emissions fraud has gone far enough. Our council should get away from grandiose ideals which are beyond its ken or scope and stick with the functions that councils were created for in the first place. Only when the world reverses its relentless, exponential, fatal, population growth (expanding market) will we know that governments are serious about reducing carbon emissions. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
Halt charge schemes Mornington Peninsula Shire Council continues to extract thousands of dollars over and above annual rates by imposing special charge schemes on unsuspecting residents, usually for footpath construction. There is absolutely no prior consultation. You receive a letter from council indicating you will have to pay thousands of dollars for your share of the cost, even if most of the residents in your street don’t want a footpath. These insidious charges are likely to become more widespread as the state government limits annual rate increases to CPI and the council continues to live beyond its means. If council cannot afford to build a footpath from rate revenue then it should wait until it can. A bill from council for thousands of dollars can be devastating for young couples paying off hefty mortgages, retirees on fixed incomes and anyone experiencing financial pressure. Lack of consultation has recently led to bitter disputes in Somers, McCrae and Sorrento. In the Coppin Rd, Sorrento, footpath scheme the design ignores so many safety issues (known to
PAGE 16
Mornington News 9 February 2016
local residents) that risks to pedestrians will actually increase. This is despite the proximity of two schools and a pre-school centre. Incredibly, the footpath ends at Nepean Highway opposite the front beach, where family groups armed with umbrellas, eskies and other beach essentials attempt the hazardous crossing. There should be a moratorium on the use of special charge schemes until council gets its act together and devises genuine consultation strategies that take the community with them. Until then, these schemes and the councillors who support them, will continue to attract the contempt and opposition they deserve. Geoff Allen, Sorrento
Footpath alert The network footpath scheme in Somers has been handled with utter contempt for ratepayers. The two most needed paths, Camphill Rd and the end of Lord Somers Rd, would normally be paid by the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and were existing high priority paths. By adding extremely low priority paths into a network, council has included almost all ratepayers in Somers in a special charge scheme and tried to sell the idea as beneficial to all when it is clearly of little or no benefit to most. Many people live far away from the paths and some already have formal paths and will be forced to pay again. According to the Somers Residents Association secretary Ray Mc Hutcheon in his submission to council the council underwrote information sent by the association to all ratepayers. Much of this information was incorrect and council is now charging Somers Ratepayers $750,000 on the dubious claim that most residents want wide concrete paths slashing through roadside vegetation. The rest of us ratepayers will contribute another $750,000 toward the $1.5 million scheme. Shame on council officers for their lack of transparency and consultation and for allowing the SRA to spend ratepayer’s money on something that misled the trusting citizens of Somers. David Gill, Balnarring Beach
Misinformed over paths Why did Council Officers fail to properly inform ratepayers about the true nature of the proposed Somers Path Network Special Charge Scheme before the formal notification to ratepayers? Mornington Peninsula Council had many years to clear up the misinformation that was sent out with its assistance. It permitted the spread of information in surveys and petitions that influenced people into believing [the Somers footpath] to be a very different scheme than the one now proposed. Many people were, and still are, confused, and many still seem to believe the misinformation that was widely circulated. The council has done nothing apart from the formal notification to correct these misconceptions or to correctly ascertain community views. Anne Kotzman, Somers
Gravel is good The existing gravel pathways in Somers, on a sandy soil base, are never maintained and do a great job; any assessment would prove both their suitability and durability. Why does Mornington Peninsula Council want to construct a network of wide concrete pathways, which is out of keeping with the character of a quiet coastal village? If some pathways are necessary, why not keep them informal and prevent unnecessary tree removal? Modern disability vehicles are able to handle level informal pathways very easily if road crossings are given some attention. A gentler solution is warranted to attend to the perceived safety issues rather than the sledge hammer approach proposed. Pam Bannister, Somers
Attention welcome One wonders who is “Out of touch” (Letters, 2/2/16). Cr Andrew Dixon of Briars Ward expresses concern at the lack of community infrastructure and cost of transporting Mornington Peninsula’s waste. He has been in office for three years and, finally, his new found concerns for ratepayers and their costs is welcomed. Since his election the shire has increased its revenue from rates and charges by a massive 25 per cent. In that time rates have risen three times more than the cost of living and increases in wag-
es. No doubt Cr Dixon will strongly support the state government’s initiative of capping council rates next financial year. The ratepayers and residents of Briar's Ward will recall that after the last local government elections Cr Dixon overlooked his "no costly Rosebud ($40 million) pool" mandate from his Briar's Ward electorate and voted in favour of such a pool on the Rosebud foreshore when a much cheaper pool could have been built inland. Cr Dixon also indicates that the shire has 192 kilometres of coast to manage. This is incorrect as most of the coast is Crown land and is the responsibility of the state government. The shire manages only a relatively small section of foreshore on behalf of the government, including camping areas for which it receives fees to offset its costs. Cr Dixon and the other two Briars Ward councillors have been slow in keeping us ratepayers up to date with the progress of the fully state funded CCTV system promised four years ago for Mt Eliza. Where is it and when will it be fully functional? At the next election the residents of Mt Eliza and Briars Ward deserve a councillor who can make a difference and see out all the shire meetings instead of heading for the door when faced by contrary opinions. Ian Morrison, secretary Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ Association
Homestead applauded What a wonderful surprise. The National Trust's McCrae Homestead is faring well. Last year's adverse publicity prompted me, as a local resident and long-time supporter of the homestead, to visit and see for myself how it is operating for visitors. The volunteers working at the property last weekend were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The galleries honouring and displaying the history of the McCrae and Burrell families are superbly presented. Artefacts, costumes, original paintings and photographs documenting the lives of the residents are exhibited in excellent fashion, giving a real insight into the 19th and early 20th century way of life here on the peninsula. The homestead itself is an example of the foresight and labour of Georgiana and Andrew McCrae in creating a pioneer home using the rudimentary building methods of the 1840s. It is well-preserved and contains a rich and fascinating collection of the furniture, paintings and other chattels which Georgiana and her family brought from Scotland to their "mountain home" in McCrae. So this beautiful National Trust property, representing a microcosm of 19th century life in the heart of modern McCrae, is a real treasure and well worth a visit. It is open 11am-4pm Sundays and appointments may be made for other times. Jenny Williams, McCrae.
Ugly entry Rather than wasting shire funds by sending councillors to Paris, how about addressing the heat banks mushrooming around Mornington? I think the ugly, high density, commission style housing currently being built in Barkly St (near the Coles car park) is a disgrace. Not only does the three-storey boundary to boundary concrete mass occupy 95 per cent of the ground surface area, but the heat bank this mass will create could raise ambient temperatures in the area by 2-4 degrees. There is no space for tree planting (there is no open space), no provision to capture water run-off from the expansive roof surface area and it will prove to be the ugliest gateway to Mornington imaginable. Who is responsible for allowing such housing developments, such visual pollution and significant contributors to the climate concerns voiced by our councillors. Kate Philip, Mornington
Worth investigating In reply to Kate Philip (“Beach behaviour’, Letters 26/1/16) I did not mention anything about the damage to Shire Hall Beach having anything to do with the recent pier works but, now that she mentions it, it is interesting to note that the damage has occurred only since the installation of the wave wall. I wonder how she can be so sure that the recent pier works have had nothing to do with the very significant erosion of sand from the beach? I Also wonder why Ms Philip seems to be so keen to dismiss the damage as being due to “just cyclical wave and weather work”. How can she be so sure? I have been using this beach for more than 40
years and I’ve never seen it in the state it is now – which happens to be just after the installation of the wave wall. Surely it is worth investigating whether the wave wall may be a significant causative factor. There may have been sections of Shire Hall Beach which have been rocky in the past and necessitated her grandmother using her “swimming shoes” to enter the water, but this particular section of the beach about which I am concerned has been an excellent swimming beach for at least the last 40 years. This is no longer the case and surely it is worth trying to find out why. Neil Gilbert, Mornington
Please explain I wonder if the MP for Flinders Greg Hunt would be able to give me an explanation why it is necessary to keep children in detention in our various concentration camps and other prisons? He is my federal representative and I would like to hear his personal justification or why he doesn’t speak out about this inhumane state of affairs. I don't need the official party spin from the immigration minister, I want Mr Hunt’s personal opinion. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach
Emissions increase In response to Greg Hunt MP for Flinders and Environment Minister (“Australia ‘on track”, Letters, 26/1/16) his attempt to reassure residents we are on track fails to point out the targets place Australia at the very back of the pack and are so low we will meet them even as emissions continue to rise. Recently, the minister embarrassingly fell on his own sword, telling ABC TV’s 7.30 program that the Yale environment performance index was a world leading climate indicator – to which we agree. Well, the Yale index just dropped Australia 10 places, ranking his policies among the worst in world in the category of climate and energy. We are now ranked 82nd in this category, with only Saudi Arabia worse than us. Over the past decade nearly every country has improved its score, except Australia, which under [the federal government’s] Direct action [policy] has increased its CO2 emissions. We are going the wrong way and it’s no surprise we ranked almost last in the world at the Paris climate talks. How much longer should peninsula residents put up with such consistent failure by the minister to manage our environment, our economy and our future? Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens
Lack of interest Evelyn Taylor (“Track already beaten”, Letters. 2/2/2016) comments on a range of charges being changed by the federal government. What she doesn’t do is say how all the activities she wants fixed are to be paid for. Anyone can make a list but it requires a thinking person to identify a solution. The reason these changes are being made is because the Rudd-Gillard government left a financial mess. The usual result from such a government. The Turnbull government is having to cope with $20 billion budget deficits, a national debt of over $300 billion and a monthly interest cost of this debt of almost $1.7 billion. Think how much this debt is going to cost taxpayers when interest rates return to 5-6 percent. In the meantime, Evelyn should think how easily it would be to do all the things she lists if $1.7 billion was available to pay for these items.

Guns, drugs counts A SEAFORD man who police allegedly found with a sawn-off shotgun, ammunition, air rifle and a small quantity of the drug ice appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, Wednesday, charged with possession of unregistered firearms and possession of a prohibited drug. The 32 year old, of Lorna St, was remanded to reappear at the same court on February 22.

ULTIMATE BOUTIQUE DENTISTRY Dental Studio 2-Twenty offers a boutique dental experience, with the latest technology, a brand new surgery, state of the art equipment, and the bonus of three decades of experience treating people. Dr Albery has undertaken advanced training in crown, bridge and implants dentistry, and completed his Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy in Myofascial Acupuncture. He is a founding member of the Australian Society of Dental Aesthetics and a founding member of the Peninsula Headache Clinic. “As a professional team, we pride ourselves on our excellent customer service, as well as our expertise and state of the art dental technology. When you come to Dental Studio 2-Twenty, you don’t just get the very best in restorative and cosmetic dentistry – you get a fast, friendly service, personalised to suit your needs and budget,” says Dr Albery.
For over 30 years, Dr John Albery has been putting smiles on the faces of clients across the Mornington Peninsula, and continues with his boutique clinic, Dental Studio 2-Twenty. “With a combination of professional experience and the latest technology, we pride ourselves on providing
each and every one of our customers with excellence in restorative and cosmetic dentistry,” says Dr Albery. “With very few exceptions, we can handle all of your dental needs inhouse. That means you won’t have to waste time waiting and travelling for a referral. Instead, we provide everything you need in our modern
practice and at an affordable price.” Dr Albery opened Dental Studio 2-Twenty 18 months ago, to offer the unique boutique dental service to the peninsula. “I started working as a dentist back in 1982 in Frankston and have always worked on the Mornington Peninsula. In 2007 I packed up and

went to Ceduna on the Nullarbor Plain to work in aboriginal communities,” says Dr Albery, who ended up staying there for four years. “I helped to set up a government clinic there and then came back to Mornington where I have opened my new practice, after encouragement by friends and relatives.”
Dental Studio 2-Twenty is a practice focused on advanced cosmetic and restorative dentistry, and we can help with everything from restoring worn and broken down teeth to replacing missing teeth with dentures, crowns, bridges or dental implants.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Poll to establish electric lighting Compiled by Melissa Walsh IN the 139th list published last week the name of Private Frayne, of Tyabb, appears among those who are ill. *** MR Alf. S. Wesley notifies his friends, through our advertising columns, that he has secured a renewal of license for an extended term, of Kirkpatrick’s Hotel, on the Esplanade, Mornington. *** IN response to a request from the committee of the Somerville show, Major Campbell has altered the date of the sale of furnishings at “Amesfield Park” from Wednesday, 15th March, (that being show day) to Monday, 18th March. *** THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association will be held on Monday next, February 14th, in Somerville Hall, at 8 p m. Show, and other matters will be discussed. *** THE monthly meeting of the Frankston Progress Association is called for Wednesday evening next in the Mechanics’ institute. The meetings have been allowed to lapse during the holiday season, but the members are now requested to attend this meeting, and commence work for the year. *** A public meeting, under the auspices of the Red Cross and Progress societies, was held at Balnarring, on 5th
inst, to discuss ways and means towards entertaining a contingent of wounded soldiers at the beach, in March. Mr S. Perron acted as secretary. Ex-councillor Davies was in the chair. *** ANOTHER of the old identities of Frankston passed away on Tuesday last, in the person of Mr. William Davey, who died at his son-in-law’s residence, Malvern, after a short illness, at the age of 73 years. He was born at Gardiner’s Creek, and came to Frankston as a boy with his parents, residing at Davey’s Bay. He was formerly owner of the Bay View Hotel, Frankston, and while in business made many friends by his generous and obliging disposition. He leaves a widow and four sons and four daughters by his first wife to mourn their loss. The remains were buried in the Frankston cemetery. *** A surprise party, consisting of a number of members of St Paul’s Club and choir, Frankston, journeyed to Chelsea, on Thursday night, to visit Mr and Mrs Will Gregory, late of Frankston. During the evening a number of games were played, and at supper a presentation of a handsome biscuit barrel was made. The opportunity was taken to present a tea set to Mrs F. Benson on behalf of St Paul’s club and choir. *** AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions on Monday last, J. F. Phillips was charged by the police with reck-
less driving of a motor car on 21st January last on the Point Nepean road. The bench was occupied by Mr Cohen, P.M., and Messrs Crawford, Oates and Grant. J’s.P. Jas Cottier gave evidence that he was riding home from work on his bicycle on the evening mentioned, and when near the mile bridge, he heard the toot of a horn, and got off the road on to the sand on his right side, but before he knew anything more the car had run into him; smashed his bicycle up, and severely injured himself. He was rendered unconscious, and was bruised from head to foot. This evidence was corroborated by H. M’Comb and D. Kelly, who were also returning from work at the time. The defendant tried to show that it was Cottier’s fault that the accident occurred, but the Bench decided that the case had been proved, and imposed a fine of 60s with 9s costs. Mr Secombe appeared for the defence. *** AT the annual meeting of parishioners of St Paul’s, Frankston, it was announced that the ordinary contributions for last year had slightly increased as compared with the previous year, but that the funds were poor on account of no concert having been organised during the year. The Wardens for this year are Messrs J. Reynolds (Hon. Sec.); P. Wheeler (Hon. Treas.); and C. V. G. Williams. Six other men were also elected to act on the Vestry, viz :— Dr Maxwell and Messrs A. Bailey, T.

Deane, J. C. Garrood, Geo. May and Scarborough. It was decided to work for a big Easter offering this year, also a proposal was carried to organise a conversation at Easter time and so develop the social life of the Church more fully. *** BEFORE the war ordinary English paper cost 1¾d per lb. ; now it costs 2¾d. In addition to this, freight has more than doubled. The packing was free; now it is 32s 6d per ton. Art paper was 4d per lb., now it is 6d. Imitation art paper was 2¼d and 2½d; now it is 3½d and 4¾d. Calendar paper has raised from 2¾d to 4½d. Ordinary news printing paper has increased by 40 per cent. Heavy increases have also taken place in writing papers, cards, pasteboards and all printers sundries. Sulphide papers, used for wrapping, have risen 100 per cent. *** GOOD morning ! Have you paid your subscription yet ? Perhaps you owe for last year or several years. Now, you understand we don’t need the money; we have hundreds to get. But really it is an imposition to let people go carrying our money when we are so strong and healthy, and so abundantly able to bear the burden ourselves. For this reason we ask anybody who has any of our money in their possession to leave it at the office, or send it by post, freight, train, express, or any other way, just so long as it gets here. Silver and gold are heavy, and it
would be a matter of life long regret to us if anyone should get bowlegged, carrying it about for us. *** WE again call the attention of our readers to the fact that a poll of ratepayers will be held at Frankston, Somerville, and Hastings, on Thursday, February 17th, to decide whether an Order-in-Council shall be granted to the Frankston Gas Company to allow them to establish Electric Light and Power throughout the Shire of Frankston and Hastings. The advantages of electric light are numerous. The public lighting will be more efficient and more economical. The gas company will take all risks, so that the establishment of electric lighting will not cost one penny of the ratepayers’ money. Gas will continue to be made by the Company and no one need, unless he or she desires it, use the electric light, as gas will be supplied privately, as heretofore, if required. The Council hope that a good muster of ratepayers will poll their votes for electricity. The method of voting is peculiar. The law demands that an answer “Yes”’ or “No” shall be made to the following question “Do you desire to forbid the granting of an Order-in-Council to the Frankston Gas Company.” Those therefore who wish to have the electric light must cross out the word yes. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 12 February, 1916
WHAT’S NEW...
Read all about family fun day FAMILIES will celebrate all that’s good about reading at the Peninsula Reads Family Fun Day, Village Green, Rosebud, on Sunday. The day will show what is happening with books on the Mornington Peninsula and offer a range of free activities, resources and takeaway books. Entertainment will suit families and the day will showcase how the community embraces and supports reading and literacy. Activities include sliding on the inflatable Jurassic Park, or patting a real lizard or crocodile. Those preferring little furry creatures can join the petting zoo. There will be a sausage sizzle and live entertainment by school children and dance clubs. Create your own boomerang, have your body painted with henna or glitter, and join in the fun with free “Life Be in It” games. Dromana CFA will demonstrate a live rescue by cutting up a car at 12.30pm.
“Peninsula Reads is designed to improve literacy levels of families across the shire,” the mayor Cr Graham Pittock said. “Its collaborative approach supports and involves families, early childhood services, schools and the community at large – all of whom have a role to play in promoting literacy and ensuring access to resources that promote literacy development.” Peninsula Reads committee chair Cr Antonella Celi encouraged families to come along. “The Australian Book of World Records is offering us an opportunity to have the most people reading a book at the same time,” she said. “Those attending can also take home a free Disney book and CD. So grab a book, enjoy the activities and celebrate the many fun things about reading,” she said. Peninsula Reads Family Fun Day is 10am2pm, Rosebud Village Green, 932 Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud foreshore (opposite 9th Av).
Reading ready: Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Cr Graham Pittock with Cr Antonella Celi, chair of the Peninsula Reads Committee, Lorni Landrigan with sons Brax and Ryder, Ben Felder, Kate and Lucas Masterton-Bojang, Heather and Jaxon Taylor at Rosebud library. Mornington News 9 February 2016

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT
A rock music fan’s guide to modern etiquette By Stuart McCullough IT’S a tough job. Being the opening act for a bigger, more popular band is much like being invited to a really wonderful party only to have all the other guests ignore your attempts to engage in conversation. You take to the stage brimming with enthusiasm only to be confronted by rows of empty seats because half the audience has chosen to have dessert rather than turn up on time. If you’re lucky, the evening will end with you raiding the band rider but not much more. Such is the lot of a support band. Brisbane group The Grates were an ideal choice to support The Flaming Lips. In singer Patience Hodgson, they have a not-so-secret weapon whose enthusiasm was not merely palpable but luminescent and prone to leaping off the stage, seizing unwitting patrons by the shoulders before giving them a good shake. She took to the stage wearing what I can only describe as a mumu made of tinsel. It was obvious that The Grates had not turned up solely to pick the eyes out of the catering before taking the rest of the night off. They were making a real effort to entertain. It’s at least ten years since I’d last seen The Grates It was at the Corner Hotel, Richmond, and they were supporting a British band that has long since receded into obscurity. I’m not even sure if they’d released their first album. But they were energetic and engaging, just as they were all this time later. However, some things have changed in the intervening period. Ten years ago, people went to concerts to watch. Now it’s an
PAGE 44
arm wrestle for attention as the act on stage does everything they can to distract patrons from staring at their mobile phones. He was sitting two rows ahead of us, a couple of seats over. His mobile phone had a face bigger than Bert Newton and its aura of unwelcome illumination proved an aggressive distraction. I don’t blame him for
Mornington News 9 February 2016
bringing a mobile phone to a rock concert – my own was in my pocket at the time – but I cannot for the life of me figure out why he would sit there and play with it whilst a group was on stage doing all they could to entertain him. Here, now, were The Grates; dressed like the love child of Grug and a box of Christmas decorations, and this dude was ignoring
them completely in favour of his mobile phone. I appreciate that times have changed, really I do. That the pace of modern life is such that people must remain connected at all times, lest a highly amusing cat video be released without their knowledge. But this guy wasn’t doing anything useful. Because the screen was about the same size as the electronic scoreboard at the MCG, I could see what he was doing. He started scrolling through something that, because I do not wish to give it even a skerrick in the way of free publicity, I shall refer to as “FaceHole.” From there, he seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time looking at Seinfeld memes, focusing in particular on those featuring George Costanza. Granted, it’s certainly possible that these were not the colossal waste of time and general pimple on the backside of humanity they appear to be. For all I know, this guy has made the study of Seinfeld memes and their relation to, I don’t know, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, his life’s work and what seems to a neutral observer such as myself to be stultifyingly stupid is, in actual fact, part of a deeper commitment to unlocking the eternal mystery of the human mind. On the other hand, he could simply be a jerk. On stage, the band pulled out all the stops. Super-douche, as I had begun to think of him, checked his messages and sent some emails. Armed with half a bag of Maltesers, I gave serious consideration to sending a few chocolate missiles his way, followed by a barrage of verbal
abuse. There is, I feel, no sign of opprobrium less ambiguous that a small piece of chocolate in the back of the head followed by a few choice words. However, keen both not to overreact and to preserve the few remaining snacks I had, I decided to keep my thoughts and the Maltesers to myself. I did this partly because I am, in essence, a peace-loving guy and partly because, I assumed, his rudeness would be confined to the opening act and, surely, would cease, once the headliners appeared. As it turns out, I assumed way too much. The Flaming Lips are one of music’s greatest spectacles, with confetti cannons, giant space-balloons and an inflatable Catfish forming part of the show. These, however, are no competition for Seinfeld memes. He remained glued to his phone throughout, pausing only for a moment to lift it above his head and film part of the performance, presumably to remind himself at a later date than he had, in fact, attended. The only other time he seemed to pay any attention to the events around him was when a giant space balloon bounced on top of his head and he glanced up, looking annoyed. He probably went home frustrated that his night of meme exploration was interrupted by music. I should probably have told him all this. But I’m sure that, had I done so, he would merely have shrugged his shoulders and answered me in the words of Mr. Costanza, ‘Well the jerk store called and they’re all out of you.’ Touché, George. www.stuartmccullough.com

scoreboard Kangas cause upset as
Blackwell snatches ten wickets PROVINCIAL By IT Gully LANGWARRIN caused one of the upsets of the 2015-16 MPCA Provincial season on Saturday when it knocked over top-of-the-table Peninsula Old Boys. However, it was the other end of the Peninsula that had tongues wagging. MPCA and Sorrento superstar Anthony Blackwell had figures of 4/16 overnight against Pines. He finished with all 10 wickets, bowling 16.2 overs and finishing with 10/41 to help his side to a 24-run victory and maintain fourth place on the ladder. The loss to Peninsula Old Boys was also a talking point. There is little love lost between Langwarrin and POB and it was fitting that the match went down to the wire. The Old Boys seemed untouchable
coming into the clash and heading for the finals, however, the young Kangaroos held their nerve throughout and won by 13 runs. Chasing 267 for victory, the Old Boys were cruising at 0/80 with Dylan O’Malley (64) dominating and Wade Pelzer (20) playing a strong supportive role. However, Pelzer was run out and O’Malley followed a short time later. All of a sudden the Kangas were back in the game. In a blink of an eye, the visitors went from 0/80 to 6/150. Mal Coutts and Nathan Volpe answered the call before the skipper Travis Campbell himself got amongst the wickets. Glenn Prendergast (28) and Jon Forrest (51) gave the Old Boys every chance when they added 60 runs and took the score to 248, however, Prendergast was run out and Forrest became one of Matt Prosser’s three victims (3/63 from 22.2 overs) to grab
Braves hit a slump DISTRICT By IT Gully BADEN Powell are in a slump after losing their second match in as many rounds on Saturday in MPCA District cricket. After dominating for the first seven rounds of the season, the Braves have been knocked over by third placed Pearcedale and on Saturday, against the top of the table, premiership fancies, Red Hill. Red Hill were restricted to 200 in their first innings on the wide-open expanses of Overport Road Reserve, but were always in the box seat to defend that total. The score proved to be far too great for the Braves, given the enormous bowling lineup of the Hillmen. Baden Powell were bowled out for just 103. Jamie McCall was at his best with 4/7 from six overs, the skipper Simon Dart claimed 3/38 from 16 overs and Glen Collett picked-up 2/45 from 14 overs. Elia Carter top scored for the Braves with 27. Pearcedale were able to successfully defend 151 to beat Heatherhill. With fourth place on the ladder on the line for the Hills, they were in a strong position coming into day two at 2/74. Jake Theobald (17) and Tyler Neal (43) were the not-out batsmen at the crease and they both fell within a run of each other after adding a further 25 runs to the overnight score. It went pear-shaped for the Hills after that, losing 8/44 and being bowled out for 142. Shayne Gillings and Kaine Smith claimed 4/48 and 4/20 respectively while Sam Frawley picked-up 2/19. Seaford are 12 points clear in fourth position on the District table after beating Boneo. Ali Mortaza was the star for Seaford with 77, while Paul Hartle opened with 43. Jack Beale scored 60 runs,
PAGE 48
including five fours and two sixes in 87 balls for Boneo in the second innings. All Seaford players other than keeper Faisal Payenda bowled at least three overs in the second innings. Delacombe Park failed to get the 266 runs required to beat Carrum, winding up their 2015/16 season. The Parkers were still half a chance to play finals had they have beaten the Lions, however, they fell 37 runs short. Craig Blight hit his highest score of the season for the Parkers with 84. Lachy Dobson claimed 3/54 from 20 overs and Tom Burgdorf also helped himself to 3/62 from 23/1 overs. Seaford Tigers made light work of scoring the 208 required for victory against Main Ridge. Skipper David James scored 100 and Ash Mills hit an unbeaten 135, including 18 fours and 4 sixes, to finish the afternoon at 4/274. Flinders couldn’t get the 321 needed to beat Mt Martha. The Sharks are in fifth place on the ladder at the end of Round nine, a game behind Seaford. On Saturday, it was always going to be tough to get 321. They needed at least one batsman to score a century. Tom Clements got 58 and Mitch Stansborough scored 55, while Simon Parrott hit 37. The Sharks needed another big contributor, but couldn’t find one. Brett Wilkinson was the pick of the Reds’ bowlers, with 3/34 from 12.2 overs, while Michael Clavin, Jake Smart and Kyle Bendle picked up two wickets each.

victory in the final over. Whilst it’s a tough ask, the Kangaroos still give themselves every chance of playing finals. They must get an outright win against Rye in Round 10 to have any chance. Sorrento successfully defended its poor first innings score of 116 to beat Pines and remain in the top four. The Piners were resuming at 4/39 on day two of the clash on opposition turf and only one run was added it became 5/40. Ricky Ramsdale provided some wag in the tail end (35), but Pines were all out for just 92 in 36.2 overs. Anthony Blackwell was the star and kept the Sorras in fourth place. Somerville went close to an outright victory over Moorooduc but the Ducs were able to hold out. The Ducs made 133 in their first dig and the Eagles resumed at 0/25. Craig Black blasted 82 and Brad Rossborough hit 60 as the Eagles
declared at 2/222 after just 35 overs. Moorooduc was 7/53 at one stage with Jack Kennedy (3/40) and Matty Roach (2/24) claiming wickets. However, Michael Whincup (22) and Cameron Bailey (24) knuckled down and got the job done for the Ducs, batting out the remaining 49 overs and finishing at 9/117. Crib Point made tough work of beating Mornington. Chasing 108 for victory, the Magpies resumed at 0/11. But they scrambled in the end, settling on 143. It was enough to claim the allimportant 12 points and maintain second position on the ladder. Brad McDonald was the pick of the Mornington bowlers with 3/12 from seven overs. Baxter picked-up a solid win against Long Island. Defending 9/217, Baxter was able to bowl Long Island out for 167. Dale Irving claimed 2/18 and Ben
Brittain 3/37, however, it was man of the match Chris Brittain who added 4/41 to his 122 runs. Simon Dignan top scored for the Islanders with 46. Baxter (68) is now 12 points clear of Long Island in fifth place, just four points behind Sorrento. The Islanders are now locked with Mornington, Pines, Langwarrin and Moorooduc on 56 points. Mount Eliza claimed the win against Rye, however, the Demons were spared yet another outright loss. After making 9/249 on day one, Mt Eliza tried to bowl Rye out twice on the second day. They rolled the Demons for 69 in the first innings and had them three down in the second innings. Paul Coldrey claimed 5/19 and Justin Grant 5/14 in the first innings and one wicket each in the second dig.

MPCA struggle in Thrilling two rounds championships SUB-DISTRICT
COUNTRY WEEK By IT Gully THE Mornington Peninsula Cricket Associations Provincial and Division Two teams struggled in the Country Week championships. The Provincial team lost its opening two matches against Geelong and Bendigo, the eventual grand finalists, before opening their account against Sale-Maffra on day three of the carnival. It lost its final match of the tournament to Warrnambool. Tom Wood scored 54 and skipper Matt Foon 51 against Geelong in their score of 8/201 while Chris Dew and Matt Foon collected three wickets each in Geelong’s knock of 267. The MPCA was rolled for 115 against Bendigo (9/212 & 4/67). Justin Grant claimed 5/37 and Jon Forrest 3/28. Chris Dew top scored with 44 and Scott Phillips hit 29. In their win against Sale-Maffra, Daniel Warwick top scored with 53 and Foon hit 48 in their score of 6/175. They then bowled out the opposition for 82 with Andrew Tweddle claiming 5/16. The MPCA then lost to Warrnambool. Jon Forrest picked up 4/60 in Warrnambool’s total of 8/288. Warwick top scored
for the MPCA in the chase with 61, while Forrest scored 48. The MPCA was bowled out for 200. Geelong beat Bendigo in the final. The Division Two team also won only one game. It lost to Leongatha on the opening day by six runs. Batting first, the MPCA made 9/152 with Billy Quigley top scoring with 42. Leongatha replied with 8/158. Skipper Dylan O’Malley claimed 3/25 and Michael Clavin 2/21. Against Sunraysia, the MPCA bowled first with the opposition scoring 8/215. Mike Reynolds and Chris King snared two wickets each. In reply, the MPCA was bowled out for 169 with Kristian Miller top scoring with 66 and Pat Jackson getting 38. Round Three was a draw after the ground was unplayable and Round Four saw the MPCA record its first win against South West. South West batted first and made 161 with Reynolds pickingup 3/17 and Quigley and Jarryd Parker claiming two wickets each. In reply, the MPCA made 7/181 with Brad Trotter top scoring with 60 and Harley Peace-Sterling hitting 43. Ballarat beat Leongatha in the final.
By IT Gully THE 2015/16 MPCA Sub District season is going to go right down to the wire after the conclusion of Round nine on Saturday. Whilst the top two positions on the ladder have been tied up for some time with Dromana on 104 points and Hastings on 94, the real battle sits from third to seventh. Carrum Downs is currently in third place on 66 points and Rosebud is hanging onto fourth place on 60 points. These two sides clashed in Round nine and it was the Cougars who came out victors by 39 runs. Rosebud would have given themselves a 12 point buffer in third place with a win. Now the Buds are hanging on for dear life with Frankston YCW also on 60 points and Tootgarook and Ballam Park just a game further back. In the final two rounds of the season, Rosebud faces Hastings at home and then plays Skye in the Round 11 one-day fixture to end the home and away season. The Buds have to beat Hastings this round and should be too strong for Skye. Frankston YCW hosts Skye in Round 10 and finishes with Balnarring in the final round. You would say the Stonecats are favorite to win both of these matches. On Saturday, the Stonecats were able to score 9/152 against Tootgarook after resuming at 3/5 overnight, chasing 143. It was a confidence-booster for the Stonecats with Matty Lane dragging them over the line with his best hit of the season (95). Tootgarook is in sixth place and now a game outside of the top four.

against YCW would have them right in the mix. The Frogs host Balnarring in Round 10 and play Tyabb at the pond in the final match of the season. A betting man would also have Tootgarook winning two from two. The other side in the mix is Ballam Park. The Knights smashed Balnarring on Saturday after scoring 251 in their first innings and bowling out the Saints for 157 (they resumed at 4/38). The Knights play Tyabb and Carrum Downs in the final two matches. It will be a tough ask to beat the Cougars, who have to play Dromana this round. A loss here would see Carrum Downs having to win the final game against Ballam Park to play finals.
The Round 11 one day game between Dromana and Hastings should be very interesting, given they just may meet again on the final match of the season. The Blues went within one wicket of picking-up an outright win against Skye. Defending 217, the Blues bowled out Skye for 58 and had them 9/123 in the second innings. Luke Hewitt, Liam Bradshaw and Isuru Dias all claimed three first innings wickets, while Bradshaw and Dias claimed two second innings wickets, as did Mitchell Floyd. Dromana easily beat Tyabb. Defending 211, the Hoppers rolled the Yabbies for just 86.
