Splashing around for a blessing THE audience on top of Rye pier ducked the splashes as more than a dozen sets of arms and legs flailed around in the water below, scrambling for a piece of timber tossed into their midst by a man wearing an intricately woven cloak and wearing an impressive headpiece. Reverend Father Eleftherios Tatsis of the Greek Orthodox Church Panagia Kamriani at Red Hill was back on the pier for the annual Epithany, or blessing of the water ceremony. And the people splashing around in the water were church members eager to be first to seize the wooden cross tossed by the priest and gain his blessing. That honour went to Matthew Papadimitriou, 18, of Rowville. Continued Page 8
Mayor’s fire alarm Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula residents and visitors have been warned to be ready with bushfire survival plans. The warning from the mayor Cr Bev Colomb followed a 120 hectare blaze at Hastings that razed much of Warringine Park after a desperate battle by fire fighters to save houses. Cr Colomb said residents and visitors should “remain aware of the im-
portance of acting on the fire danger ratings and having a bushfire survival plan�. Hastings had “dodged a bullet� despite the Saturday 3 January fire which swept through the bushland reserve, the chair of the shire’s municipal emergency management planning committee, Cr David Garnock, said. The damage – and the heartache – could have been so much worse, he said. This view was shared by Hastings lawyer David Gibbs, group officer in

charge of the local CFA brigades, who said that if the fire had jumped the Stony Pt/Woolleys roads intersection it had the potential to cause “massive destruction�. “We could have lost hundreds of homes,� he said. Luckily, no houses were lost or residents injured in the fires which began near railway tracks in Reid Pde about 2pm fanned by strong winds and temperatures in the high 30s. Piles of wood in a nearby timber yard provided an early source of fuel.
About 300 firefighters fought the blaze which sent embers flying over Reid Pde into paperbark forests grasslands at Warringine Park, jumping six houses on Seaglades Lane. A major wind change to the southwest at 6.30pm pushed the fire back towards Reid Pde and Warranqite Cres. Cr Garnock said the fortuitous wind change – which forced the fire back onto itself – had prevented what could have been a disaster for residents. “The fires were a wake-up call for us,� he said.

A cool change later on the day of total fire ban brought rain and a 10 degree drop in the temperature, helping firefighters control the blaze by about 8pm. A community fire meeting at the Graham Myers Reserve, Bittern, on Saturday night - attended by 300 people - erupted into applause when CFA acting operations manager Neil Schlipalius said that while three houses had suffered external damage, none had been lost.

Hardy trio re-enacts Buckley’s escape By Graham Pittock THE inspiration provided by the Safety Beach mob in building a beach refuge called Buckley’s Rest kickstarted this informal re-enactment. I used Facebook with some success to ignite enthusiasm for the late-night venture. What success. My son Harry and son-in-law Magnus both read Facebook and agreed to take part. Apparently many others found themselves indisposed on the evening of 27 December, the 211th anniversary of convict William Buckley’s flight from captivity. Ironic that Harry, Magnus and I all live in the same house. In anticipation of the 10pm start, we left a car with some refreshments inside at Buckley’s Rest. My wife Prue took us to the start at the First Settlement site at Sullivan Bay in Sorrento. Beautiful spot in the dark. At 10pm Buckley’s Rest project manager Tom McCullough and Prue waved us off. We started an hour later than Buckley had in 1803. We were totally unprepared for the unknown, with no training and armed with only phones and money. Away we walked. Buckley, on the run from guards, probably moved faster. He and his mates had been shot at during their escape. What an adventure. The Bay Trail was our preferred route, eschewing the nasty road. Sometimes it was black and mysterious then dazzling under street lamps or in car headlights. Trip hazards abounded. Harry said there were drop bears everywhere; Magnus had a thing about snakes.
The road distance is 25 kilometres or so but the meandering track makes it longer. With the evocative Buckley and his mates in mind we kept to the trail wherever possible. This was about 95 per cent of the way. Around Rye, Harry got bored so we told him to run on and find our first resting place. We got a message back that at Tootgarook Swamp he had found welcoming natives dancing and drinking brown water. Magnus and I quickened our step. We joined together briefly to hydrate and observe the local mating rites. Magnus and Harry, revitalised, took off on a jog, leaving me behind to die or catch a taxi. I did neither, but started to shuffle. On reaching Dromana I was startled by a shadowy figure in the middle of the path. It was Magnus. He had broken down. Full of pity, I told him to limp on and meet us at the finish. He did so, arriving at 2.30am, 15 minutes after me and 45 minutes after Harry. It was cold, we were weary. Luckily, Tom McCullough, Graham Whittaker and Don Barnett of the Buckley’s Rest project team had some warm glug for us. This morning, Harry is looking for a physio, Magnus’s hammies are stuffed and I am in the first stages of a nasty cramp. All being well there will be the same informal format, date and time next year. Other escapers welcome to join. In the meantime, read up on William Buckley. The internet is full of him. ď Ž The writer is a Seawinds Ward councillor on Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.
Wild and white: Above, Aboriginal artist Tommy McRae’s illustration of Buckley’s escape, one of two 19th century Aboriginal drawings depicting the trek. It was acquired by the National Museum of Australia and unveiled in April 2012. McRae was born in about 1835 and died in 1901. Below, the escape route of William Buckley and fellow convicts Daniel McAllenan and George Pye, which was re-created by three Dromana residents late last month, the first of what is hoped will be an annual event.

were being taken back to Tasmania. It is believed the group rested at the site of the newly constructed Buckley’s Rest picnic area at Safety Beach before heading north and separating at the top of Port Phillip, where Melbourne (originally named Bearbrass) would be founded 30 years later. Buckley, who was 195cm tall (6ft 5in), continued alone around the bay as far as the Bellarine Peninsula and, by one account, south to Aireys Inlet, avoiding contact with Aborigines. His fellow escapers headed for Sydney. Several months after his escape Buckley took a spear that marked an Aboriginal grave to use as a walking stick. Women of the Wathaurung tribe of the Bellarine Peninsula, recognising the spear, befriended him, believing him to be the returned spirit of the dead man. He was adopted by the tribe and lived with them for the next 33 years. On 6 July 1835 he appeared at Melbourne founder John Batman’s Port Phillip Association camp, clad in kangaroo skins and carrying

Aboriginal weapons. In September he was pardoned. He died in Tasmania on 30 January 1856. William Buckley’s name lives on in the idiomatic phrase “You’ve got Buckley’s�, meaning “no chance�. This a truncation of “You’ve got two chances: Buckley’s and none�, a reference to a long-gone Melbourne store Buckley & Nunn. Buckley’s Rest is a picnic area overlooking Safety Beach, created as a refuge for visitors. It was initiated by the Safety Beach Foreshore Landscape Committee, led by resident Tom McCullough as project manager. He was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation on 15 December at the last council meeting of 2014. Funding for the project came from the shire’s Community Capital Policy, with a contribution from Seawinds Ward councillor Graham Pittock’s ward discretionary fund. The reenactment of Buckley’s Sorrento to Safety Beach journey is likely to become an annual event. David Harrison

Mayor’s fire alarm Continued from Page 1 Mr Schlipalius said the present danger for Bittern, Crib Point and Hastings residents had past. He said crews would stay overnight to ensure embers were extinguished. “The CFA had been worried that the fire may have jumped Woolleys Rd and got into the equestrian centre and the refinery land Crib Point would have been in trouble,” Cr Garnock said. “The CFA was magnificent and the water bombing helicopters and the appliances saved the houses from the fires and ember attack. Several back fences were burnt and the fires came close to several houses but, luckily, none were lost.” He said shire workers had recently mown a fire break between Warringine Park and neighbouring houses. Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett joined the mayor, Cr Garnock, Mr Gibb and shire CEO Carl Cowlie for a debriefing at Hastings CFA on Wednesday. Cr Colomb later issued a news release thanking emergency services workers for their fire-fighting efforts. “It was pleasing to see the swift, successful and integrated approach of all services involved during the incident and the community coming together during this difficult time,” she said. “I urge all residents across the peninsula, and our visitors, to remain aware of the importance of acting on the fire danger ratings and having a bushfire survival plan.” As a result of the fire the shire opened an emergency relief centre at the Graham Myers Recreation Reserve, Bittern. “The council acknowledges the Red Cross, Victorian Council of Churches, Ambulance Victoria and shire officers who all did a fantastic job in hosting the relief centre and providing assistance to the community affected by the fire,” Cr Colomb said. The Warringine Park boardwalk was damaged during the fire and is now closed. CFA state duty officer Peter Lucas said firefighters battled through a “horror night” on the Friday. Premier Daniel Andrews praised emergency crews for their response to what has been a “very, very difficult couple of days”. Mornington Peninsula police inspector Karen Nyholm said police ran fire patrols in the lead up to, and on the day, of the fires due to the risks presented by the forecast conditions. “Victoria Police have prepared operations and enact these at various times over summer to move into a prevention area, rather than just response,” she said. “On this day, we were adequately resourced to respond and assist the CFA and this was fortunate as all hands were needed on deck. “The CFA are the experts and the control agency when it comes to fires and we support and coordinate to provide the emergency response.”
Possums, native rats lost in fire RINGTAIL possums and native swamp rats were the main animal victims of the Hastings fire that destroyed up to 90 per cent of Warringine Park. The possums perished in the paperbark tree areas of the park, and thousands of swamp rats died in the blaze. Birds took flight to unburnt areas of Warringine Creek in the western section of the park as well as saltmarsh areas
near the burnt section. Wildlife experts said it would take up to five years for possum and swamp rat populations to recover. One upside to the devastating blaze is that flora is expected to recover quite rapidly with expected rain speeding regrowth of eucalypts and grassy understory. Rare species such as orchids and lilies are expected to benefit from
the fire. Money will be needed to remove pest plants as they regrow over the next two years. The park has been closed to the public as large sections of the boardwalk between Hastings and Jacks Beach were destroyed. Mornington Peninsula Shire has commissioned a fauna and flora report. Mike Hast

In the swim for cross blessing Continued from Page 1 Also joining the boys in the race to the cross was 13-year-old Emily Paxevanos, right, daughter of three-time Rye cross retrieval winner, Robert Paxevanos. In the past, tradition only permitted males to participate in the retrieval of the cross at Rye. Although she didn't grab hold of the elusive icon, Emily said: "It was awesome just to have a go". The church's annual ceremony to celebrate the Epiphany, or baptism of Christ, drew an estimated 1500 people to the pier. On piers at Rye, Frankston and South Melbourne, the cross is thrown into the water in a ritual representing physical and spiritual cleansing. It is also customary after Epiphany celebrations for the priest to visit parishioners' homes and bless them with holy water. Pictures: Yanni

Police rise to summer’s challenge DEMAND for police increases each summer as thousands of holidaymakers on the southern peninsula enjoy foreshore camping and the many holiday homes in the area. The sheer number of people presents logistical challenges including increased traffic congestion and the potential for anti-social behaviour due to over-consumption of alcohol, particularly in hot weather. Operation Campaware targets foreshore camping areas at Rye and Rosebud. Police using an allterrain vehicle, donated by community groups, have been highly visible as they provide crime prevention advice, engage with local and interstate tourists, and organise sector leaders to provide better communications with police. “The campers are great each year. They really love seeing us out on the ATV and are very considerate of neighbouring campers,� Rosebud police crime prevention Senior Constable Julie Simpson said. “This year, we held a day where we engraved bikes for campers, and this has been really handy for lost or stolen bikes being returned to their owners.� Road users may have noticed the enhanced po-
lice presence with booze buses and other mobile units patrolling high-risk areas for poor driving and collisions. “If you don’t see us, think twice – we have many covert units that you might not recognise,� Rosebud highway patrol’s Sergeant Barry Judge said. “While drivers and other road users are respectful of the time delays and other traffic congestion issues at this time of the year, it only takes one idiot to cause chaos. “We implore people to leave early for their destinations and drive to suit the conditions.� Road fatalities on the Mornington Peninsula rose from three to 10 last year, although serious injury collisions declined. Police will work with Mornington Peninsula Shire, VicRoads and the Transport Accident Commission to further improve road safety. “All the agencies are focused on a SAFE Systems approach. This focuses on safer drivers, safer speeds, safer vehicles and safer environments,� Inspector Karen Nyholm said. “In coming months, police enforcement will be one component of this, but efforts will be broader than the traditional approach.� Stephen Taylor
Revellers behave on big night POLICE are happy with the “overall behaviour� of peninsula New Year’s Eve revellers. Inspector Karen Nyholm said only three arrests were made on the night, and there were no serious injuries to members of the community or police. “Crowd behaviour in the populated areas around Rye, Mornington and Portsea generally celebrated with a party-like atmosphere that lacked the violence and anti-social conduct that typically appears on these occasions,� she said. This is the fourth year of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s “No nonsense, No fireworks, No entertainment� approach to end-of-year celebrations.
Inspector Nyholm said crowd numbers were down in public areas, although most hotels reported capacity crowds. She said illegal fireworks “continue to be a problem� for police and the CFA, with one house balcony catching fire in Rye, causing minor damage to the building. No injuries were reported. No serious assaults were reported on the night, although police are investigating the robbing of three partygoers leaving a Mt Martha beach at 1.30am. “Fortunately, the weather kept many people at home and those that did head out to public beaches were well behaved and able to enjoy festivities without too much drama.�

ROSEBUD Hospital is so busy that theatre recovery space for elective surgery is being used to treat emergency patients. The vacant “overflow area” is free because elective surgical activity traditionally declines during the Christmas-New Year period as patients choose not to have surgery. Chief operating officer Jan Child said the population of the southern peninsula increased by more than 100,000 over the holiday period. “Rosebud Hospital’s emergency department is always extremely busy at this time of year,” she said. “We are prepared for this and our professional staff manages the increased demand very effectively.” She said the hospital consistently exceeded Department of Health targets for emergency department performance, and that “these standards are maintained during this busy time of year”. “Every year during this peak period we utilise a general area to accommodate a surge in demand. At other times of the year the overflow area is used as a theatre recovery space for elective surgery.” The elective theatre will reopen for normal activities this week. Stephen Taylor

Flinders’ centenary THE Mathew Flinders cairn on Arthur’s Seat turned 100 LAST year. Rye-based historian Fred Wild said the cairn was established by Dromana Progress Association in 1914, the bi-centenary of Flinders’ birth. “The plaque was replaced in 1974, but the graffiti on the back of the monument is quite recent,” he said.
Tourist hoards hide ‘economic downturn’ Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au AS tens of thousands of holidaymakers descend on the Mornington Peninsula over summer, official statistics show record numbers of residents are out of work. While locals may appear to be on holidays, the federal electorate of Flinders - covering most of the peninsula from Mornington south and across to Hastings and including Phillip Island - has had one of the highest jumps in unemployment across Australia. A drop of 4.8 per cent in job participation rates puts Flinders as the second worst hit electorate in in the country. Neighbouring Dunkley (Mornington, Mt Eliza and Frankston), saw a 3.1 per cent rise in the number of people without work. Statisticians regard figures of this level as a “regional recession�. The figures released just after Christmas by demographic profiling company Australian Development Strategies rate employment trends in federal electorates throughout Australia. John Black, a former Labor senator who heads Australian Development Strategies, said the increasing numbers of job seekers in the Liberal electorates could be problematic for the Abbott government. Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt sees the report as “a public relations exercise and should not be used for comment�. “Any suggestion that the Coalition is deliberately boosting job opportunities in Labor seats in order to win votes
is ridiculous,� Mr Hunt said. “Demographically, the Mornington Peninsula has the second highest population of older people in Victoria, which means we have a higher percentage of people who are retired. “The single best thing the government can do to help with employment is to have a strong economy, built around private sector participation and a budget that is balanced, not putting pressure on future generations.� Dunkley, held by Small Business Minister Bruce Billson, recorded the 13th highest rise in jobless. Mr Billson said the New Year had started with “positive indications for the national economy� and he was “working hard to ensure these can flow on to the Dunkley community� He said a record number of new companies had been registered in 2014, petrol prices were low and “jobs growth� in 2014 was nearly three times’ that of 2013. “In addition, monthly retail trade values continued to grow in October up by 0.4 per cent, to be 5.7 per cent higher through the year,� Mr Billson said. “The latest consumer price index shows that all Australians are now benefiting from a 5.1 per cent reduction in electricity prices following the scrapping of the carbon tax.� However, it seems that if any Coalition policies are helping create jobs they are mainly benefitting Labor-held seats. Flinders and Dunkley are among many Liberal-held electorates where jobs have been lost in the past year, ending a run covering the past three federal elections where Labor seats

saw the highest rises in jobless. Since the election of the Abbott government Flinders and Dunkley have had the distinction of joining 28 electorates to record a rise in unemployment of more than 1.5 per cent in the past 12 months (24 of these electorates are held by Coalition MPs). Mr Black said the three previous federal elections had been held at a time when the unemployed “tended to be found in Labor electorates� (The Weekend Australian 27/12/14). “In the past 12 months, these residents of Labor seats have been finding jobs while residents of Coalition seats have been losing theirs,� Mr Black
said. He said electorates recording high rises in jobless numbers could be considered to have been in a serious economic downturn over the past year, with significant contraction of their local employment bases, with flow on effects in such industries as retail and hospitality. The worst hit electorates included the demographics of “older female workers in part time jobs chasing more hours of work to make up for falling investment incomes and men driving themselves to work in a high street sales job which is now under pressure from falling consumer confidence�. Mr Black said year on year increases
in those “not in the labour force� category “includes students and retirees, but also discouraged workers – the hidden unemployed�. “The 13 regional and outer urban mortgage belt electorates losing the most jobs [including Flinders and Dunkley] could be considered to be in a serious economic downturn over the past year, with significant contraction of their local employment bases and flow on effects on industries such as retail and hospitality,� he said. Mr Black said his report was based on jobs data collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Chairlift gondola clears legal hurdle Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au A MAJOR legal obstacle to the $18 million gondola chairlift on Arthurs Seat has been removed with Save Our Seat announcing it will not appeal a planning tribunal decision in the Supreme Court. Save Our Seat had until last Wednesday to lodge an appeal against the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal’s December decision to confirm Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s
approval of the ride last June. Save Our Seat spokeswoman Kylie Greer said “on advice from our barristers, we would be hard pressed to overturn the VCAT decision”. Ms Greer said deciding not to appeal would not stop SOS from “pursuing political means” to prevent the gondola being built or challenging any subsequent decision by the shire to approve the chairlift consortium’s Bushfire Emergency Plan, which has not been finalised. “We are extremely disappointed, but
our next step is to lobby state government, the CFA and Mornington Peninsula Shire to make sure conditions are strictly adhered to,” she told The News. The group is concerned that bushfire matters have not been dealt with adequately by authorities. One of the group’s barristers, Rupert Watters, who worked for the Environment Defenders Office in Victoria and has been involved in several high-profile environment cases in Queensland and Tasmania, has told SOS that
VCAT “plainly considered that it did have adequate material to make an assessment of the risk posed by fire and its manageability”. SOS said it would likely lobby politicians, including new state Environment Minister Lisa Neville, and relevant statutory authorities as Arthurs Seat Skylift had not yet signed a lease with Parks Victoria. Skylift’s Bushfire Emergency Plan must be approved by the shire council and other organisations. Late last month, Skylift spokesman
Simon McKeon said the consortium expected to sign a 50-year lease with Parks Victoria in the new year. Mr McKeon said Skylift had been working with people “at the highest level of the CFA for four years”. “The gondola will not run on Code Red and other days of high fire danger,” he said. The News understands some shire councillors are looking at the gondola proposal. It was approved by one vote mid-2014 and the balance of power on the council has changed since then.
New rail thrill for skaters ROSEBUD Skate Park enthusiasts can develop their athletic skills on a new rail, thanks to a Southern Peninsula Youth Foundation grant. “The rail has created a positive energy among young people. They are really excited,” Lenny Richardson, of Janice Earth Skateboards, said. People who use the park regularly have greater opportunities to practice and compete at higher levels. With the support of the YMCA Southern Peninsula Youth Service, a small group of regular skaters at the park worked with YMCA Southern Peninsula youth services director Jeanette Horsley to apply for the grant. The process involved engaging a financial partner for the project, applying to the shire council for permits, and working with peninsula steel fabrication specialist George Diakonidis, of Daikon Steel. He generously supplied his time and labour free of charge to show his support for the young people, Mr Richardson said. Southern Peninsula Youth Foundation is a
grant scheme managed by the Bendigo Bank Community Enterprise Foundation. It operates across Victoria. At the southern end of the peninsula the foundation is administered through YMCA SPYS with the support of the community branches at Dromana, Rye and Rosebud. Over the past four years $40,000 has been granted for youth projects. Additional grants last year supported January’s Rosebud Skate Park Competition, event planning and management training for a group of Sorrento teenage skaters, and gave seed funding to the Sorrento Skate Comp and Family Fun Day held last month at Sorrento Skate Park. The rail was a feature of the Janice Earth Rosebud Skate Park Competition last Saturday, which was also supported by YMCA SPYS, YMCA Action Sports and local branches of the Bendigo Bank. Barry Irving

Rangers make a difference
Art on show early online MOST of the artworks in this year’s Mornington Rotary Art Exhibition can already be seen online. The “early viewing” at www.morningtonartshow.com.au includes nearly 700 works in various categories, including still life, land and seascapes, portraits, nudes and abstract. However, the artworks will only be available for sale from the opening of exhibition at 6.30pm on Friday 16 January where winners of $10,500 in prizes will be announced. The opening is billed as a “stylish black and white” event at the Peninsula Community Theatre, corner Nepean Highway and Wilson’s Rd, Mornington, with entertainment from the Four Seasons String Quartet, gourmet finger food and other “quality refreshments”. “We have been delighted with the
enthusiastic response from Peninsula artists,” exhibition convenor Rotarian David Benson said. “We are also pleased to have strong representation from Melbourne and Sydney artists to provide a vibrant cosmopolitan exhibition.” Mr Benson said seascapes, landscapes and contemporary were the most popular subjects. “We decided to accept a reduced number of artworks this year in order to increase the quality of exhibits and improve the display space,” he said. “Up to four submissions were accepted from individual artists, with 10 from featured pastel artist, Nancy Thurlby, and more than four from some invited artists.” Donated door prizes will be handed out on the opening night. Tickets, which include food, refreshments and
door prize opportunities, are $35 and available from Farrell’s Bookstore, Main St, Mornington or online at morningtonartshow website. The exhibition opens 10am-6pm daily from Saturday 18 January until Monday 26 January. Entry is $8 for unlimited viewing time. From 20 to22 January Family Time will allow parents to view the exhibition while their children attend one of six free structured mural painting sessions in the adjoining marque. Only children with attending parents will be admitted to these sessions (10am-11.30am and 2pm-3.30pm). Qualified instructors will supervise and guide up to 15 students a session in three separate mural paintings suited to the child’s ability. Each session will be self-contained and will commence and finish at the scheduled times.
SEASONAL rangers recruited by Parks Victoria are getting plenty of hands-on experience during their summer placements on the Mornington Peninsula. Jordan Whitmore, Tamara Vekich and Luke Ashford are based at the Rosebud office, and Renae Haylock is at Point Nepean, over the busy summer holiday season. Mr Ashford is working with the East Port Phillip team covering Brighton to Portsea, and has a wealth of marine experience after 12 years in the Royal Australian Navy. His vessel-operating skills and knowledge are a bonus for water patrol work and also educating people about complying with the Marine Safety Act. “Being comfortable wearing a uniform has made it easy for me to step into this role,” he said. “A lot of the job is about educating holidaymakers on the issues of speeding, safety and observing protected areas. I’m really enjoying the variety and hands-on experience of this role.” Mr Whitmore is working in the northern peninsula on walking tracks and improving recreation sites for visitors. He’s been a participant in the opening of more visitor facilities at Devilbend Reserve. Ms Vekich’s focus is on the threatened shore nesting bird the hooded plover. “I’m locating and fencing off nesting sites, patrolling beaches where we have nests and chicks, liaising with the Friends of Hooded Plover volunteer group, and educating beach visitors about the birds,” she said. Ms Haylock is busy maintaining the overall park presentation at Point Nepean and providing information to

a constant stream of visitors. “The seasonal rangers work with our staff over summer providing visitor services and helping with a wide range of park maintenance projects. The help they provide is invaluable,” Parks Victoria ranger-in-charge at Rosebud, Kris Rowe, said. “The peninsula is attracting more visitors every summer, so having extra help makes a big difference. It means we can extend the range of services we have at our parks and beaches to make sure visitors get the most out of their stay here.”

NEWS DESK Oh deer, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lost IT may have something to do with the end of the Christmas season, or just an inquisitive nature. Whatever the reason, this fallow deer appears to have strayed from its herd. Although a regular visitor to horses in a paddock in rural Mt Martha, Chris Street thinks it would be better off mingling with its own kind. Anyone who knows where the deer belongs can call Mr Street on 0415 446 324.
Shire plans aid fire management MORNINGTON Peninsula Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new roadsides fire management plan outlines a five-year program of extra works and categorises shire-maintained roads for fire management purposes. A detailed works schedule will be developed each year to address potential fire risks from vegetation along shire-managed roads. The annual works schedule will complement existing roadside vegetation works, such as roadside mowing, tree and vegetation cutbacks, noxious weed control, and weeding to aid biodiversity. Additional works include removing fallen trees and clearing vegetation. Works already under way are on Purves and Arthurs Seat roads; Arthurs Seat, Park, Churchill and Ellerina roads; Forest Drive and Hearn Rd, Mt Martha; Merricks Rd, Merricks; Waterfall Gully Rd, Rosebud; and St Johns Wood and Canterbury Jetty roads, Blairgowrie. Residents will be consulted before works are started and environmental assessments beforehand will ensure environmental values are protected while risks to residents are reduced.
Mayor Cr Bev Colomb said ongoing community consultation was an important part of the plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Engaging with our community will also enable our fire management teams to have important conversations with residents about fire management works and further promote the shared responsibility message,â&#x20AC;? she said. The plan categorises shire roads as high, medium or low priority to assist agencies to plan for fire management across the shire. Roads are assessed on five objectives: prevent or reduce the risk of fires on roadsides, prevent the risk of spread of fire from the road reserve, manage safety of road users, provide control lines, and ensure recovery of roadside vegetation after roadside fires. The shire consulted with the CFA, Parks Victoria, Department of Environment and Primary Industries, and VicRoads. The plan was formally endorsed by the Municipal Fire Management Planning Committee and the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee. Details: mornpen.vic.gov.au

LETTERS Fireys thanked
Fish supplies
May I, through your columns, thank both the local fire brigade at Hastings and the many fire crews who attended the fire at Hastings on 3 January. That no houses were lost is testament to the skill and dedication of the men and women who knew their job and did it superbly well. Ruth Gooch, Hastings
The proposed closing down of our local fresh fish supplier opposite Wilsons Rd, Mornington (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fishermen: nets ban a stuntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, The News 11/11/14), [run by] the brothers Neville and Dalton Hutchins, who, along with their extended family, have been fishing in the Mornington area for six generations. A long term for such an important service for us, a food that we know is sold at the source from where is caught. Yes,it is a small business that may not be so interesting to the major political parties, but it has supported their families, who in turn have given their customers a source of healthy unadulterated food. Most of us do not have the facilities to catch our own seafood, involving boat, time and the money for a recreational licence, so we, the public, become the losers here yet again. They are not major ship factories coming in to plunder the bay - that is a load of nonsense. They are a small family business and we, down here, get that. Perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance for the "big guys" to give us a break for a change and listen to us. Maureen Federico, Frankston South
Lawyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning The number of people who have drowned in Victorian waters so far this summer is nothing short of tragic. Hundreds of others have also had to be rescued and needed first aid assistance while enjoying time out with family and friends in our coastal areas and river towns. As a personal injury lawyer, I have seen a number of people who have been injured or permanently disabled as a result of water-related accidents - many of these incidents could have been prevented. Sadly, Victoria recorded the highest number of drowning deaths in 10 years during 2013/14. Many of us are spending time at beaches and rivers this summer so it is important that we are vigilant. Serious injuries can occur when diving into murky water where it is difficult to judge the depth of the water or see submerged objects. We should remember that a calm surface can hide strong current. Also, alcohol can impede judgement and our ability to get out of a dangerous situation. We should continue to enjoy our beautiful beaches and rivers, but the tragic start to the year is a good reminder to be safe near water. Barrie Woollacott, Melbourne
Uphold port pledge It is heartening for the environment that expanding the Port of Hastings into a mega container port will soon be just a bad memory. The state Labor Party's candidates for all Mornington Peninsula seats have strongly campaigned against the container port and, one would think, with the full backing of the whole Labor Party in Victoria. Now is the time for these promises to be made good. It is not good

enough to make verbal commitments on issues affecting society, we need definite decisions and an active commitment by the premier (Daniel Andrews) to lay this crazy proposal of a container port at Hastings once and for all to rest. The invaluable environmental and tourist assets of a Western Port that will not be affected by dredging, the removal of large sections of mangroves or a huge increase in shipping can now hopefully be preserved for future generations and become a proud statement of Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to a more sustainable future of Victoria. Daniel Andrews, please don't do a Tony Abbott on us. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring
System corrupted I wish to thank Christine Fry, of Blairgowrie, for her comments (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Voting patternsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Letters, The News 16/12/14) but, unfortunately, she missed the whole point (I know it might have been a bit obscure). The point was that the preference voting system is a joke. When I first moved to Australia from the United States (no, I am not going back) I thought how great, if I vote for someone and they are not elected then I will at least have the possibility of getting the second best that would work to achieve my concerns. Although I am confident that the intent of the preference voting system was exactly that when it was established, the system has been corrupted by politicians that figured out how to use the system to be elected. As I said, preferences are a joke. Christine does highlight this flaw in her letter when she states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the Greens wanted [Liberal candidate] Mr

[Martin] Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferences, why did they list Mr Dixon at the very bottom of their preference list?â&#x20AC;? which goes directly to the point. It looks like this issue might be solved in local government elections in the report to government by Local the Government Electoral Review: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition, the panel proposed a further measure. The panel has clearly strengthened the amount of information on candidates available through the postal pack, in the interest of enabling voters to make a better-informed choice between candidates. The panel, however, believes that the publication of candidate how-to-vote recommendations does not enhance voter ability in this respect, but is a major inducement to dummy candidates standing purely as a mechanism for siphoning preferences. I might add that my submission got a mention in the report: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Candidates should be required to provide statutory declarations that they were â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;legitimateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; candidates. This would stop all but the most unethical and morally corrupt candidates from serving as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; candidates.â&#x20AC;? The report is significant in its implications in many areas and can be reviewed at www.dtpli.vic.gov. au/local-government/strengtheningcouncils/local-government-electoralreview Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
Surviving the heat
Extreme heat can affect anyone, but older people are especially vulnerable to heat stress and heat-related illnesses. I am encouraging all seniors to prepare for days of extreme heat. If you have a chronic health condition, or are taking medication, talk to
Clarks Atlanta $94.95
Clarks 6WDQIRUG $129.95
Clarks (OLVH $99.95
6ODWWHUV Hannah $89.95
your doctor so you know what to do. Some medications, for example, can limit awareness of physical discomfort which means that heat-related illness symptoms may be ignored. Check that devices such as air-conditioners, air coolers, fans, blinds or refrigerators are in full working order. If you lose power, contact your provider on the "Faults and Emergencies" number on your most recent electricity bill. A power outage guide is also available at www.energyandresources. vic.gov.au/power-outage-guide. When a hot day arrives, remember to stay cool indoors at home as much as you can. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not possible think about a plan B to escape the heat such as staying with a friend or family member with air conditioning. As well as asking for help if feeling the heat, seniors are reminded to: Delay any outdoor and strenuous activities such as sport, gardening and home improvements; Drink plenty of water; Eat small cold meals more often; Wear loose, light coloured clothes; and, Keep cool using wet towels. I call on friends, family and neighbours to check on older community members to see if they need help. It only takes a few minutes to make contact and a phone call, or even help with practical tasks like pulling down blinds, may make all the difference. Information on heat health is at www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au. Subscribe to receive heat alerts by email by visiting www.health.vic.gov.au/ subscribe. For health concerns call your doctor or Nurse-on-Call on 1300 60 60 24. Gerard Mansour, Commissioner for Senior Victorians

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Boating accident with capsized vessel Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE annual general meeting of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute will be held on Thursday, January 28th. *** OWNERS of horses suitable for artillery or remount purposes, who wish to dispose of them are notified that Messrs A. Scott and Co will hold an inspection at Tanti yards, on Monday next, at 12 o’clock. *** MR P. Wheeler notifies by advertisement the hours in which the Frankston Pharmacy will be open for business, he also notifies that in special cases he will dispense medicines at any hour, day or night. *** THE anniversary of the Frankston Methodist Church will be held on Sunday next when services will be held in the morning, afternoon and evening. The preacher being the Rev Horton Williams, of Melbourne. who is spoken of as an eloquent and impressive preacher. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold a clearing sate of farm implements and sundries on Wednesday next 20th January at Anesfield Park, Mornington road on account of Major Campbell. The sale will commence at 2.30 o’clock. The same firm will also hold a sale of horses and ponies on the following day at Tanti yards. *** THE Country Roads Board has, during the past week, authorised the ac-
ceptance of the following tender, for work to be carried out under the supervision of the local municipalities: Mornington Shire – forming and metalling Point Nepean Road. Allnut and Baker, £1773 13s 6d. Flinders Shire – Mornington-Flinders Road, contract 13, Wilson and James, £320 0s 6d. *** WE regret to learn that Mr A. H Gregory, of Frankston, is suffering from a severe attack of sore throat, through catching a chill the end of last week. Mr Gregory has been somewhat unfortunate lately, as some two months ago he severely sprained one of his knees, from which he is just recovering. We join with his many friends in wishing him a speedy recovery from his present ailment. *** THE following is the financial statement of the Rosa Alba complimentary concert held last month by the Frankston Choral Society. The receipts were: Door £5 9s, tickets and booking, £6 4s 6d; advertisement 10s. The expenses were: Printing, £2 11s; Hall 15s; stamps etc. for invitations to reception 4s. Honorarium Mr Frederick Earp, £1 1s Half share profits Miss Rosa Alba £3 10s 9d; fares and photo Miss Rosa Alba 11s; half share profits Frankston Choral Society £3 10s 9d; total £12 3s 6d. *** ON Monday week last the members of St Paul’s Club Frankston, gave a concert at Seaford in aid of the Seaford Church. The Hall was packed. It is understood that the profits from
this and the November concert will amount to about £7 or a little more. The following members took part in the evening’s entertainment – Mr and Mrs Ellis, Misses Gregory, Bowell and Williams, and Mr Elliott. During the evening the farce “Love the Winner” was presented, being well received. The accompaniments were played by Mrs Ellis. The club was helped by Cr Colleen, of Carrum, who gave some very fine recitations and Mr Warner jnr., a visitor to Seaford, who gave two comic songs. *** AN accident occurred during the holidays to two young men while out boating, which might easily have resulted in a fatality. It appears that a sudden gust of wind came and took them unawares, and the boat capsized. They both succeeded in keeping them- selves afloat by clinging to the over- boat. Accompanied by A Greggs and G. Hesselman, E. K. McComb was returning from fishing and observed the accident. He lost no time in covering the distance, about a mile and a half, between his boat and the drowning men, and arrived in time to take one of them into his boat before he was quite exhausted. In the meantime his companion in disaster had elected to reach the shore by swimming, a distance of about 200 yards, which he succeeded in doing and after a rest neither of them were the worse for their narrow escape. *** THE Naval Base Sports Club advertise in another column that their an-
nual sports will he held on Saturday, March 6th, when the usual lengthy programme will be gone through. *** THE sitting of the licensing court of the Phillip Island district was concluded at Wonthaggi last week when seven new licenses granted—four at Wonthaggi and one each at South Dudley, Kilcunda and Koo Wee Rup. In all there were 27 applicants, the successful ones being Jessie Allen, Wonthaggi; Charles Taberner, Wonthaggi; James W. Webb, Wonthaggi George Howe, South Dudley; Alfred Morey, Kilcunda; and Dennis McNamara, Koo Wee Rup Jas. McGrath, Wonthaggi. *** THERE was considerable dislocation of the railway traffic on the Stony Point and Mornington lines on Wednesday, January 13th. A heavy engine by some means was derailed at Stony Point on that day. A break down train with a gang was sent from Melbourne to rectify matters. The 3.30pm goods train with car attached from Stony Point did not pick up trucks with goods en route, and the combined Stony Point and Mornington train, which should have arrived at Frankston at 5.30 p.m., was much delayed. *** SCARCITY OF WILD DUCK: OPEN SEASON ABOLISHED: Few sportsmen will be able to complain of the wisdom of the Government’s decision not to allow wild duck to be shot this year, but many y who have
already made arrangements to join shooting parties have cause to complain that the prohibition was not announced earlier. The open season for wild duck usually commences on 11th February, and continues until 30th June but, owing to the fact that the number of these birds is decreasing, and that they are particularly scarce this year owing to the drought, a policy has been adopted whereby a close season will be observed for the whole of each third year. *** THAT rain has been badly needed throughout the district for some months past is a well known fact, but it was very apparent that nobody at the Tyabb picnic appreciated the rain that fell on Wednesday, the 6th instead. It is a great many years since such miserable weather has been experienced at this annual gathering, but, nevertheless the event cannot be deemed a a failure. The shelter shed proved a great boon while the rain was coming down, thus allowing the people to remain in the park until the weather cleared, instead of having to return home and get a soaking. *** The beneficial rains experiencd lately have minimised the dauger of bush fires, and in place of the parched conditions existing lately there has been an abundance of growth. So much that prices for vegetables and all other produce have fallen considerably. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 16 January, 1915.

KINGSWOOD roll into town
ON a seemingly unstoppable quest for greatness, ARIA Nominees, Kingswood were never going to be content staying home for summer. Wrapping up 2014, the four-piece rock ‘n’ roll band announced a nation-wide tour that will take them to the Chelsea Heights Hotel on Friday February 6. Fergus Linacre is the man behind the rumbling and engrossing vocals so signature to the band’s indisputable brand of rock ‘n’ roll swagger. PEARL chat to the singer ahead of the tour, which will see Kingswood showcase their debut album, Microscopic Wars, recorded in Nashville’s legendary Blackbird Studio with Vance Powell. With heavyweights like Jack White and the Arctic Monkeys under the producer’s belt, we were keen to know how the pairing came about. “I’m not too sure how, but he heard our EP, really liked it and said he’d be interested in working with us. Considering you usually have to book him years in advance, we were lucky to take his interest. Actually, it was pretty funny because the first EP we sent to him was a song that just Al and I were working on in our little house in Kew. Al played drums (he’s the guitarist) and I played base and keyboards and we just swapped all of the instruments around for the different parts. It sounded pretty shit; I mean, Alex is a talented musician but he’s not a great drummer. So Vance got this first recording and was like ‘what have I got myself into –
this band is terrible!’ I guess eventually he found out that it was a very rough demo. So we probably shouldn’t have sent a demo with the singer and guitarist doing all the instrumentals to this Grammy-winning producer, but it worked out really well and we ended up having a ball in Nashville.” The album is certainly a testament to the band’s ability to diversify their sound and still resound with audiences. Having individually been a part of punk, jazz and several other musical outfits as teens, it’s not surprising that the boys are capable of picking up unfamiliar instruments and having a tinker. It is however surprising to see the band move boldly away from
the ‘Queens of the Stone Age-sound’ so successfully propagated in previous EP’s. The album covers a span of rock, from rootsy Americana, to grungy power chords and even lighter pop-oriented material. While Linacre maintains that diversity was always within the musical realms of Kingswood, he credits Powell and Nashville for the confidence to explore those avenues in Microscopic Wars. “Powell made us feel like there were absolutely no boundaries. He made us feel really confident and free to do whatever we wanted. I think it was good to get out of Australia and the leave the whole mindset of ‘will this fly on a certain radio station?’
behind us. It’s not something anyone wants to admit to thinking when writing a song, but it’s a hang-up for many Australian musicians. A good way to escape all that was to get out of the country and be in Nashville where so many incredible musicians and people surrounded us. We just wanted to make music we’d love and the musicians around us would respect.” Microscopic Wars stormed into the ARIA charts top ten. Despite the band’s lack of emphasizing appeal to the major broadcaster, several singles from the album have invaded tripe j’s airwaves on high-rotation. While the Microscopic Wars has taken the band to a new level, Kingswood had the unique experience of touring almost every major Australian festival prior to releasing their first album, in addition to supporting the likes of Aerosmith, Grinspoon and The Living End on their national tours. “I think we kind of didn’t feel like we deserved it. I always felt that you weren’t a ‘real’ band until you had an album, until you could hold that album in your hand and say this is our first album. It’s the gun, you know?” Smoking gun now in hand, the boys will turn their sights to international shores next year, hoping to expand their touring opportunities in America and Europe. For now, you can catch Kingswood at Chelsea Heights Hotel on February 6. Tickets and more info at www.ticketmaster.com.au MATILDA HEGGIE

Enjoy two fun filled days with friends and family at the iconic Frankston Waterfront Festival held at Victoria’s most popular foreshore on January 17 and 18. The relaxed bayside location provides the perfect backdrop for a summer favourite on the Peninsula with the event promising locals and visitors a weekend jam packed with free activities, market stalls, great food and wine and live music. The Live ‘n’ Local stage will show case some great talent including Tiana V, The Peninsula Folk Club and The Medley Boys but all eyes will no doubt be on this years headline act the Rolling Stones Show. Enjoy Australia’s Rolling Stones experience at the glittering waters edge from 8pm on Saturday as the well known Melbourne musos and Stones maniacs put on their ‘down ‘n’ dirty’ version of the Stones. Featuring a wealth of ‘St Kilda Stones Society’ musicians, they pride themselves on recreating the looseness and energy of a Stones event that is extremely close to the real thing. If that’s not enough the band will lead into a
dazzling fireworks display over the bay at 9.45pm. Yes, there is even more to come the following day. If spending a summer’s weekend by the bay with good friends and good food isn’t enough, capping off the festival on Sunday at 5pm, a melting pot of reggae, Cuban salsa, Latin dance, tropical island rhythm and Brazilian samba, Sol Nation take to the stage. The infectious four piece dish out worldly lyrics and impassioned musicianship during every performance and bring you a wealth of international musical culture. Exotic. The music won’t be the only exciting and exotic thing on show however with stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, sailing, outrigging and snorkelling if you feel brave or just relax with a drink at the Beer and Wine Garden. Whatever the age, there’s fun for all at the 2015 Frankston Waterfront Festival, Pier Promenade, Frankston Waterfront, Frankston. More info go to frankston.vic. gov.au. SIMON BURKE

At the Bendigo it starts with U.
Mounties are gone PROVINCIAL By IT Gully Mt Elizaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new year started with as much disappointment as its 2014 ended after being beaten by Long Island in Provincial cricket on Saturday. Any chance of a late run at the finals disappeared for the Mounties, who went into the game without one day specialist and leader Lyle House, who was representing his state in the national championships. Jason Mathers, one of the Mountiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best performed batsmen this season, was also missing. Mt Eliza remains on just one win for the season and now must turn its attention to avoiding relegation. There is little question that the Mounties are the story of the year. On paper they look the goods, however that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t transferred onto the field. On Saturday, they lost the toss and were forced to bowl first.
Long Island openers Brad Denny (30) and Peter â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pottoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Connell (32) started beautifully for their team, putting on 46 for the opening partnership. Scott Phillips contributed 23 and lower order bats Stephen Hocking (16) and Andrew Tweddle (18) ensured the Islandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; racked up a competitive 8/165. Craig Enwhistle was the pick of the Mt Eliza bowlers with 3/42 from 10 overs. In reply, the Mounties lost both openers cheaply and were at one stage 2/12. Phillips was the man who removed them both, while Greg Lamb removed Entwhistle (19) and Tim Strickland (23), just when it looked like they were going to get going. Tom Ewing was his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top scorer with an unbeaten 39, however, Mt Eliza run out of overs and were restricted to 6/143. Langwarrin recovered from being
4/37 and 5/68 to score 8/145 against Crib Point. It was enough for them to win the game. Danny Weare again resurrected the Kangasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; innings with 35 and next generation players Matt Prosser (15) and Taylor Smith (21) consolidated. Former skipper at Langwarrin and Seaford, Nathan Volpe, was superb at the death with 42. Glenn Barclay and Henry Dolphins snared two wickets each for the Pies. In reply, the home side was never in the hunt. Henry Dolphin was trapped leg before by Adrian Mack for a duck and when debutant Joel Bateman had Luke Herrington caught for three, there was little chance of a Magpiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; win. Mack finished with 2/6 from 6.2 overs, while Dwayne Doig picked up 3/43 from eight overs. Jake Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Atri was also superb with 2/14 from 10 overs. Mornington, as expected, got the job done against Heatherhill. The Dogs batted first and made 7/184,
Matt Foon top scoring with 33, Ben Clements getting 32, Sam Buchanan 28 and Luke Harper 28. In reply, the Ducs had a great crack but ran out of balls, finishing on 8/160. Young gun Kristian Miller scored 40 while Brett Maxwell top scored with 53, giving him man of the match honours after picking up 2/39 with the ball. Brodie Symons picked up three wickets for the Dogs in his second game for his new club. Peninsula Old Boys continue to set the pace, easily accounting for Pines. The Piners batted first and made 143 in 38 overs, Brett Remy top scoring with 33 and Jeremy Weare getting 21 at the top of the order. Adam Gailitis picked up 3/24 from 10 overs for the Old Boys, while Jon Forrest snared 3/12 from four overs. In reply, the Old Boys made the runs with eight wickets and 10 overs in hand. Dylan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley hit 55, which included seven fours and two that
cleared the rope, Matt Hyden made 26, Brandon Lawler 32 and Eivion Bowen 27. Rye made light work of Moorooduc, who went into the game without leader Bob Wilson, who was also on Victorian duties. Tom Baron made 62 and Matt Dunn 36 for the Demons in their 8/158. Sushant Gupta was superb with the ball for the Ducs with 5/28 from 10 overs. In reply, only Ben Williams (15) and Jack Kennedy (25) in his first game since crossing from Somerville hit double figures. Leigh Lambert, Aaron Fiddes and Cam Dunn all picked up three wickets each for the Demons. The much anticipated game between Baxter and Sorrento was a draw without a ball being bowled. The captains called the game off, Baxter Park a sponge with water after the heavy rains on Friday.
District finals race hots up
DISTRICT
By IT Gully THE District finals race continued to hot up on Saturday after the Round 7 one day matches. Baden Powellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resurgence continued on Saturday and in doing so, added further grief to Delacombe Park. The Parkers made the grand final last season and were expected to be well in the mix again for the title in 2014/15, however, they are starting to lose their grip on the top four. On Saturday, they bowled first against the Braves, who were superb in reaching 4/179 from its 40 overs. Rhys Elmi top scored with 56 and Sean Wilson helped himself to 54. This follows his 51 against Seaford in the previous round. Wilson opened the season in his first three games with scores of 0, 2, 0 and 7. He has made 130 runs in his last three hits. Shane Deal with 2/32 from 10 overs was the best of the Delacombe bowlers. In reply, the home side was rolled for 160 in the 38th over. Nick Christides opened with 64 and Jon Guthrie hit 30. Deal at the end contributed 20. Sam Harrison was the best of the bowlers in his third match this season for the Braves with 4/35. Mt Martha and Hastings fought out a close, low scoring match, the Reds getting the job done by seven runs. Mt Martha batted first and were restricted to 9/119 from 40 overs. Mitchel Darville top scored with 48. Carey Sawosz was the best of the Blues bowlers with 3/15 from 10 overs, while Tim Birch snared 3/38. In reply, Hastings was bowled out for 112. Max McKenzie picked up 3/22 from 10 overs in his first senior game for the Reds, while Curtis Stone was the difference between the sides with 3/10 from 9.2 overs.

Main Ridge cruised to victory against Boneo, winning with 20 overs to spare. The Pandas were restricted to 8/132 from 40 overs before the Ridge smacked 2/134 in 20 overs. Brad Rossborough clubbed an unbeaten 51 to give him 422 runs for the season while Gareth Wyatt contributed an unbeaten 43. Carrum got over the line against Flinders with one over to spare. The Sharks batted first and made 7/157, Tim Clements top scoring with 45 and openers Andrew Power (31) and Tim Clarke (33) getting their side away to a flier. In reply, the Lions didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start as well but the middle order of Daniel Polson (33) and Liam Dobson (25) guided the side home. Max Royal was superb for the Sharks with the ball, claiming 5/29 from 10 overs. Red Hill still sits on top of the ladder more than 30 points clear after cruising to victory against Seaford Tigers. The Tigers batted first and were held to 9/104 from 40 overs. Corey Hand top scored with 25. Andrew Mock was brilliant with the ball for the Hillmen with 5/22 from 10 overs. In reply, Nick Shaw opened with 44 to help the Hillmen score 127 in 34 overs. Tom Burgdorf almost pulled off a win for the Tigers on his own, taking 6/30 from nine overs. In the final game, Somerville was too strong for Seaford. The Eagles made 8/180 in their 40 overs, Justin Allsop top scoring with 36 and Jamie Rowland hitting 35. Aaron Peebles was the pick of the Seaford bowlers with 4/45 from 10 overs. In reply, Seaford was bowled out for 159 in 38.4 overs. Ryan McQueen top scored with 43 while paul Hartle hit 41.

Five in subbies finals race SUB-DISTRICT
By IT Gully THE top five sides in Sub District cricket picked up wins in Round 7, making life very difficult for sixth placed Balnarring to make a charge to the finals. It now seems that the top four will come from Pearcedale, Rosebud, Tootgarook, Carrum Downs and Frankston YCW. The Panthers and Buds are equal on 72 points while Tootgarook is a further
game back on 60 points. Both Carrum Downs and YCW on 56 points, while Balnarring is a further 20 points back on 36. None of the top five were tested on Saturday in their matches against lower ranked sides. Pearcedale made 8/141 in its 40 overs with Kaine Smith top scoring with 25 and Chris Dew and Shayne Gillings each scoring 22. James Wisken was outstanding with the ball for Balnarring with 6/37 from
10 overs. In reply, the Saints were rolled for 116 in the 38th over. Tom Hillet top scored with 33 opening the innings. Rosebud beat Ballam Park with 11 overs to spare. The Knights batted first and made 105 in 37 overs. Jason and Pat Nagel each took three wickets for the Buds. In reply, the Buds made 7/108 in the 29th over. Jason Nagel clubbed 65. Tootgarook smacked Skye, winning

by 47 runs. The Tooters batted first and made 8/140, Scott Sterling top scoring with 53. Pat Clinch was superb with the ball for Skye, snaring 5/35. In reply, Skye was bowled out for 93 in the 35th over. Rob Gruar top scored for Skye with 38, while Zac Stevenson was the best of the Tootersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 4/11 from seven overs. Carrum Downs was bowled out
for 119 against Tyabb, however, still managed to win the game. Mark Snelling was the best with the bat for the Cougars with 41. Tyabb was bowled out for 65, Brodie Bennett top scoring with 35. Stuart Swift snared 3/30 from 10 overs for the Cougars. Frankston YCW easily accounted for Dromana. The Stonecats batted first and made 9/191 before bowling out the Hoppers for 97 in the 28th over.
