Horses take a dip for the environment POPPY Mamers takes her pony Dennis through the hoof cleaning station at Main Ridge Pony Club and Nepean Equestrian Club.

Club leaders say cleaning the horses hooves will prevent the spread of disease into the neighbouring bushland reserves.

The cleaning station is part of the water jump complex opened by the clubs on Friday.

Mayor offers Paris ‘explanation’ Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire mayor Graham Pittock has invited the public to attend an “open presentation� about the recent Paris climate talks.

The invitation posted on the Mornington Peninsula New Group’s Facebook page comes after 17 mostly critical and derisive comments about the shire paying for the mayor to attend the international talks.

However, with the page having more than 29,500 followers, the post could have seriously embarrassing results, with thousands potentially turning up either to hear the mayor discuss a serious topic or to be involved with the “drinks after� part of the invite.

The Paris trip has also inflamed already strained relationships between councillors, with Cr Andrew Dixon entering the Facebook fray with a comment under his online persona, “Billy Dixon�.

The mayor’s planned presentation

with the added “drinks after�, “explains why the councillors’ lounge has suddenly upgraded from Red Label to Black Label scotch�, according to Billy Dixon. “But hey, at least we're sharing it with the public - see, we've gotta butter you up with expensive free booze (that your rates paid for) so that you'll believe our Paris journey was totally hip and worth it.

Top of the list attending the summit were national leaders and government ministers, including Australia’s Environment Minister Greg Hunt, who is also the MP for Flinders, the electorate that covers much of the peninsula.

Cr Pittock, while still in Paris, issued a news release backing Australia’s stand on tackling climate change as outlined by Mr Hunt (“Mayor backs climate plan at Paris peace talks�, The News 8/12/15).

Spider crabs take their place in art BEWARE: Spider Crabs are coming to Rye! They’ve been spotted by members of Rye Beach Community Action Group near an arts’ project by Rye Primary School pupils.

But relax: Their arrival is all part of a large mosaic art piece called: The invasion of the spider crabs, by artist Simon Normand.

Mr Normand designed the artwork with assistance from the pupils during the mosaic process. It is on the wall of the toilet block facing the community playground, which also came about through the efforts of the action group.

“We decided we wanted something beautiful for the Rye community and set about making it happen with our own funds and an arts-and-culture grant from the Mornington Peninsula Shire,” president Michael Wittingslow said.

Mr Normand asked grades 5 and 6 pupils to draw pictures of local flora and fauna and advised on what they should do to make their drawings suitable for mosaics. His basic rule was: keep it simple!

Drawings by 12 pupils were selected as part of the major work, but all students were involved: from smashing tiles – there were many volunteers for this – to placing them on the mosaic work.

Principal Jackie Annable is delighted with the progress of the collaborative project, and hopes the school will be involved in others.

Grade coordinator Sandi Emille said the children had been “involved and enthusiastic” about working with the artist.

Mr Normand is artist-in-residence at Police Point shire park. His other works are at the Austin Hospital, and Elgin Park, Hawthorn.

It is hoped the Rye artwork will be completed and in place by New Year.

Colourful creation: Artist Simon Normand, action group president Michael Wittingslow and teacher Mechelle Cheers with the grade 5 mosaic makers. They are Tiah, Skye, Casey, Keely, Greta, Jemma, Ashley, Imogen, Caitlyn, Faizah, Ocearna and Billie. Picture: Yanni

Alarm raised over blocked fire escape routes David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au FLINDERS and Red Hill residents concerned by predictions of an intense fire danger season are meeting Mornington Peninsula Shire officers to discuss ways of making their communities safer.

A blocked escape route is causing a double problem for residents of William and Bourke roads in Red Hill – residents cannot get out and fire vehi-

cles cannot get into the area other than from Arthurs Seat Rd. It is believed the CFA is reluctant to enter parts of the area because of access problems.

Twenty local residents met last month to discuss the blocked track that would enable them to reach the safety of the Mornington Flinders Rd at Elizabeth St near Red Hill Consolidated School.

Red Hill ward councillor Tim Wood is arranging for both communities to

meet shire officers over their issues.

In a letter to Cr Wood, Red Hill Community Association chairperson David Maddocks stated residents had “expressed grave concerns about the lack of access/evacuation routes … if Williams Rd was blocked by fire coming from the direction of Arthurs Seat Rd”.

It continues: “…[A] section of about 100 metres at the Elizabeth St end has become overgrown with woody weeds and … occupied as a truck parking and storage space. While some years ago

this stretch was passable by pedestrians, it is now impassable, even on foot … As concerns for an exceptionally high risk fire season are mounting, RHCA considers that urgent action be taken to make Bourke Rd accessible at least to the standard of a fire track that can be used by pedestrians and vehicles.”

Other Red Hill streets are blocked – as no doubt are others across the shire – or are restricted pedestrian thoroughfares, adding to the burden of staff rac-

ing to prepare the shire for the coming fire danger months.

While fire authorities’ emphasise residents’ responsibility to leave early on fire Code Red days, with their “Leave and Live” message, the CFA has acknowledged that more than 43 per cent of bushfires are deliberately lit.

These random blazes make it virtually impossible for people to execute their fire plans in an orderly way. In such circumstances, evacuation routes could well save lives.

Rebates make CCTV a reality Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Trees lopped at summit TREE clearing has started to make way for the Skylift and its string of gondolas running up to the summit of Arthurs Seat.

The first trees to go were near the summit, opening up the vista and removing what has previously been seen as natural foreground for scenic snapshots.

While there is no doubt the $16 million project will proceed, unresolved matters include the bushfire emergency plan and the final number of trees to be removed.

The Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) gave permission for 26 trees to be re-

moved, lopped or pruned.

Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors were advised by their officers that Skylift’s “Arboricultural inspection report” identified 82 trees that may require removal or modifying.

The report said 39 trees required removal but the rest would need to be inspected again when the pylons and cables had been built.

Councillors were told that “the plan as presented represents a reasonable and practical approach” to corridor clearing “in order to maintain the integrity and safety of the gondola line”.

RYE traders are confident strategically placed CCTV surveillance cameras will give them the upper hand over crime.

They cameras are part of a deal involving Rye Beach Business Association and Mornington Peninsula Shire offering rebates to traders buying their own cameras.

The shire has granted the association $48,000 over two years to pay up to $1500 – or 50 per cent of the camera costs.

The minimum CCTV package is $2425, putting a trader’s out-of-pocket expense at $1212.

The cameras are already paying dividends, with two women filmed allegedly stealing the morning’s bread delivery from Imola Red Cafe.

The cameras were installed just days earlier, enabling staff to read the car’s number plates and report the women to police.

“The shire recognises the importance of CCTV for the township and has developed an innovative solution to provide a positive outcome for the community that will see increased CCTV in the area this holiday season,” municipal fire prevention officer Damien Taylor said.

A lack of surveillance cameras in public places in Rye has been a talking point for years – an issue brought into focus by the one-punch death of 22-year-old David Cassai in 2012.

More than 200 people signed a petition for cameras after his death.

Traders say the high cost of installing CCTV on the long stretch of Pt Nepean Rd had been a sticking point until the rebate deal was struck.

The solution was do it yourself.

“Negotiations with the shire and Rye Business Association opened up local government funding for shop owners to receive a rebate on CCTV up to $1500,” Anton Vigenser, of Rye's Freaky Tiki, said.

“Shopping precincts in Mornington and Hastings had CCTV installed at a cost of over $70,000, plus $10,000 annual maintenance for each camera. But, because Rye’s crime rate is comparatively low, state and federal funding was never directed our way.”

Association secretary Susannah Clavin, of Clavin and Miller Pharmacy, said: “Under [the new] scheme, businesses will own and operate CCTV cameras for their own security, and the safety of the street as a whole.

“This will create a network covering Rye’s commercial precinct at a fraction of the cost.

“We are thrilled that it’s already proving successful. The message will be sent loud and clear: if you are doing something wrong in Rye, you’ll be seen.”

So far, eight out of 100 Rye businesses have applied for the rebate.

“We will probably get more after Christmas,” Ms Clavin said.

“Ideally the cameras are best placed on street corners, with one at the end of every block to get 360 degree coverage.”

Mr Vigenser said there was scope to install the cameras at the Rye industrial estate and the back beach shopping strip.

The shire believes the CCTV cameras will help promote Rye township as safe for residents and visitors; encourage traders to adopt crime preventative activities, and improve public perception of the commercial precinct.

Build plans threaten track restoration

Prize moment: Charlotte Heath receives her prize from Hayley Wilson.

On board for success UP and coming skateboarder Charlotte Heath, of Arthur’s Seat, is taking her skating skills to new heights.

Last week she received a youth encouragement award after success in the Phruntside Skate Park Jam competition at Mansfield.

Charlotte, 8, was presented with her award by Hayley Wilson, under-14 Australian female skateboarding champion.

They know each other, with Charlotte skating with her idol for the past season in the North Western Skateboarding Series.

Wilson says she sees a future for Charlotte in the sport, with the

youngster able to compete successfully against girls nearly twice her age – after skating for only 10 months.

Charlotte says she loves skating and dreams of being in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics representing Australia, but, right now, she’s just enjoying learning new tricks every week with her coach Craig Mitchell, of Progressive Skateboarding lessons, on the Mornington Peninsula.

Results for SPL Open Women's division: Hayley Wilson first, Charlotte Heath second and Amelia Hitchcock third.

The top three competitors from each state will go into a national series.

SINCE its relaunch in January the Sorrento-based Tuckey Track Friends Group has been restoring habitat along the two kilometre track and reserve. “The commitment of our core members and having the support of the wider community when we need it, make our achievements possible,� convenor Julie Corridon said.

Despite some protection from planning overlays the track was under pressure from planned developments. “Recent discussions of plans for a large scale development and heliport adjacent to Tuckey Track in Ivanhoe St, Sorrento, and the Mornington Peninsula National Park, have further raised residents’ concerns,� Ms Corridon said. “Other subdivision plans along the track also pose a threat to the much loved walking track.�

A draft management plan has been drawn up for the track and last week members of the friends group walked the track with Mornington Peninsula Shire strategic planning manager, Allan Cowley.

Ms Corridon said Tuckey Track is partially covered by heritage and environmental significance overlays and a larger part located within an area of Aboriginal cultural heritage sensitivity. “However, other sections of the track are not recognised within the planning scheme,� Ms Corridon said.

Track care: Marieta Carr, Michael Couttie, Penny Blazey, Allan Cowley (Mornington Peninsula Shire), Julie Corridon and Alex Greig inspect Tuckey Track, Sorrento.

“The friends group is motivated by other community groups who have worked with the shire to preserve the landscape character of their neighbourhoods.�

BirdLife Mornington Peninsula will include Tuckey Track in its monitoring program over the next two years.

Ms Corridon said the shire’s

THE PENINSULA’S BROADEST RANGE OF

biodiversity strategy has “heightened the group’s awareness of the need for habitat protection�.

Margaret Mather said the group knew that threatened coastal moonah trees were being removed and urged property owners to check with the shire about its regulations.

Land buy urged to keep

AN appeal will be launched early in the New Year to buy land to form safe wildlife corridors between national parks on the Mornington Peninsula.

The Australian Wildlife Protection Council (AWPC) is concerned for the survival of native animals forced from their natural habitat on private property.

On Friday the AWPC announced the appointment of Craig Thompson as its new wildlife protection officer and a plan to crowd fund corridors to protect displaced animals.

Mr Thompson said on Monday that he had attended 80 callouts this year to collisions between eastern kangaroos and motor vehicles.

Female kangaroos were sometimes found to be carrying joeys which, if the mother had been killed, were taken to wildlife carers.

Mr Thompson said instead of culling kangaroos farmers could include them in their land management practices.

"It is ironic that some farmers are paying a lot of money for services that kangaroos would provide for free,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For instance, vineyards spend much time and money keeping grass and weeds down between the vines.

But, if they took down the fences and let the kangaroos in, the roos would not eat the vines, but they would keep the grass short.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Thomson said the campaign to buy land on the peninsula was aimed

He says the need is urgent as suburban development and a recent spate of farm-fencing are blocking the kanga-

roos' natural behaviour on the peninsula.

Mr Thomson said wildlife corridors were needed â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the area between Flinders, Boneo and back towards Mt Marthaâ&#x20AC;?.

animals off track

On the move: Buying land for wildlife corridors is seen as the answer to cut the high number of kangaroos and other native animals being hit on Mornington Peninsula roads. Picture: Yanni

animals with access to the nature reserve around the former Devilbend Reservoir, near Moorooduc.

"Currently with land clearing for development, councils require offsets. But offsets very rarely consider what happens to displaced wildlife, except for managing it, which is a euphemism for conducting cull or fertility programs,” Mr Thompson said.

AWPC president Maryland Wilson said she was shocked to hear of a recent call to cull kangaroos ahead of development as the only option for kangaroos displaced by Melbourne's expansion.

"There is another non-violent solution," she said.

"It is a scandal that we have suffered through a succession of planning documents for Melbourne, without any allocating land for habitat with interconnecting continuous wildlife corridors that would enable safe passage for native animals. They have also failed to provide more than a tiny handful of animal bridges and underpasses at significant points on roads where wildlife often cross.

“Kangaroos, koalas, and other wildlife are increasingly road accident victims. As Melbourne expands to accommodate its human population growth program, suburban development pushes them out onto roads. This is planning negligence."

Ms Wilson said the AWPC says has repeatedly engaged with councils in devising detailed plans for wildlife corridors but no state government has cooperated with these plans “despite obligations to protect wildlife under the Fauna and Flora Guarantee Act”.

Ms Wilson said the AWPC will be seeking a meeting with the state government “to negotiate for wildlife corridors instead of culling”.

Street talent at Rosebud TALENT, originality and audience appeal were the rather subjective tasks judges were asked to assess at last month’s second Rosebud Buskfest.

Musicians, dancers, singers, puppeteers and circus performers were on the street performing for the $1000 cash prize.

While the judges roamed shoppers stopped to stare, appreciate and applaud.

Top act was duo Deer Prudence (Mariah McCarthy and Georgia Delves). The over-14 group was Those Kids (Bethany Shields and Drew Alsop).

Dancer Santhini Barratt won the adult solo performer section and the junior category was shared by singer/song writer, Fox Deroche, with Jarrett and Holly Sweeney on keyboards.

StreetSmart restaurants help peninsula’s needy EMERGENCY relief for the homeless on the Mornington Peninsula received a welcome shot in the arm in May with a $5000 grant from StreetSmart.

The money allowed Southern Peninsula Community Support and Information Centre to establish a food pantry to assist those at high risk of homelessness, or those that are homeless, with food, medication, transport and other material aid.

The pantry provides basic food to make needy people’s lives as comfortable as possible. It assists them to achieve self-reliance, thus encouraging self-determination over their lives.

And local businesses are eager to help: Through the DineSmart campaign restaurants Pizza D’Oh, Blairgowrie, Smokehouse Pizza, Sorrento, and Tucks Ridge Café, Red Hill, donated funds to StreetSmart. In the lead-up to the new year, the restaurants are asking each table to add a $2 donation to their bill for those in need.

“The simple idea is that everyone who dines out can leave a small donation to help in their local community,” StreetSmart Australia founder and CEO Adam Robinson said.

“From day one we have funded local grassroots services in the communities where the funds are raised. It’s important that these smaller services are supported as they are often on the front line. I’d encourage everyone to seek out these restaurants and chip in their $2.”

Southern Peninsula Community Support and Information Centre manager Jackie Currie, based at Rosebud, said: “It has been a challenging time for our community.

“The loss of any emergency relief funding simply means we are helping less. StreetSmart has made it possible for us to provide a new way

of helping those who most need it.

“The support of our three local restaurants has been amazing, and we encourage more to come on board.

“Our hope over the next 12 months is to grow this pantry to include far more resources to assist those in our community who need these essential items.”

Cafes and restaurants wanting to sign up for DineSmart, or Café Smart – to open 5 August 2016 – can register online at streetsmartaustralia.org Details: Southern Peninsula Community Support and Information Centre, 878 Point Nepean Rd, PO Box 91, Rosebud 3939, or call 5986 1285 or email admin@spcsic. org The website is spcsic.org/ Donations can be sent to givenow.com.au/ southernpeninsulacomsupportandinfo

More opportunity THE Red Hill Op Shop will increase its opening hours to 1-5pm on Saturday 19 December.

The shop at 33 Mechanics Rd, Red Hill, has raised more than $700,000 for Peninsula Home Hospice since opening 30 years ago.

Money raised by the shop also goes to CFA brigades and BlazeAid. “We are acutely aware that we are in a high risk bushfire area and could well be impacted by fire ourselves one day,” op shop president Felicity Jackson said.

“Hopefully that day will never come, but the better equipped our fire services are, the better for everyone.”

Cheers to auxiliary’s 70th DROMANA-RED Hill RSL members celebrated the women’s auxiliary’s 70th birthday with a lunch.

A highlight was the ceremonial cutting of the cake by life member Alma Gow. The event was on the exact day of the auxiliary’s first meeting in 1945.

Auxiliary president Margaret Laurie said copies of an exercise book recording the minutes of that first meeting were of interest to the 20 guests.

Rye, Rosebud and Frankston auxiliary representatives attended, as did state secretary Lynese Goldie and state president Yvonne Dent.

Best wishes: Yvonne Williams, Gwen Hatton, Judy Nuthall, Alma Gow, Verna McLear, Megan Ware, Janet Nicol and Royal Setter at the Dromana-Red Hill RSL Women’s Auxiliary 70th birthday.

Squash hopefuls flock to Rosebud courts

Paris talks

AN invitation to compete on the World of Squash Australia Tour at Rosebud International Squash Centre is the goal of a South African junior squash player.

So says South African coach Liz MacKenzie, who has been taking her junior squads there for coaching by expert Len Steward since 2003.

She’s full of praise for his innovative program. “Len has travelled the professional squash world circuit for many years and coaching national senior and junior squads in many countries, taking 12 players up to the top 20 world rankings,” she said.

“He has coached players of all standards: from beginner to world top-10 level, in 35 countries, including Saudi Arabia, Columbia, Russia and South Africa.”

Now, Mr Steward’s experience and guidance, presented in a gentle manner and calming environment, is producing the best results for an ambitious group from Pretoria.

“The youngsters are put through their paces in a coaching program where their improvement takes them to new heights on squash court,” Ms MacKenzie said.

“They hope to eventually join an elite group of South African juniors who have participated on the tour and gone on to represent their country.”

Features of the program include chi gong on Rosebud pier, wave runs at Koonya beach and training walks on the foreshore, as well as on-court training. “These all add to the fitness component needed to compete on the world junior squash circuit,” Ms MacKenzie said.

Continued from Page 1 The news release included a description of the National Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategy supplied by Mr Hunt’s office (see letters Page 17).

It also stressed the importance of the talks’ outcome to the shire, which includes 10 per cent of Victoria’s coastline.

Cr Pittock used the news release to take a swipe at the state Labor government’s decision to lease the Port of Melbourne and jeopardise the “future port of Hastings”.

Late Friday Cr Pittock said climate change is a global issue with local impacts.

Although Crs Pittock and Fraser have said they will reimburse any expenses above the limits set by the Local Government Act (essentially $16,000 during their four-year terms), critics claim they should have stayed at home.

Comments ranged from the trip – estimated at $12,000 for the two councillors – being a waste of money and why the shire did not use the internet to access information to imposing parking fees on visitors to the peninsula to the need for footpaths.

“Tom Horn” wants a council job because “the perks are awesome”; Leanne Armstrong: “And how exactly does it matter to the rest of Australia to have some egocentric local mayor agreeing with a federal government plan on an international stage?”; David Evans: “Word for word from Hunt’s office. More puppets?”; Helen Gazzara: “It appears then, that while we are able to research it, the local councillors need to spend $12,000 to fly to Paris to find the answers. It is not the destination we object to, but the cost of the journey.”  The mayor’s “open presentation” starts 6pm Monday 21 December at the council chambers in Besgrove St, Rosebud.

Call for coastal comments

RESIDENTS, traders, boaties, visitors, emergency services workers, beachgoers and campers are being asked for their opinions on the Capel Sound foreshore management committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coastal management plan.

The committee is calling on those â&#x20AC;&#x153;who use and care about the foreshore to tell us if we have it right or how the proposed priorities or strategies could be improvedâ&#x20AC;?.

It says everyone is invited to contribute â&#x20AC;&#x153;to add value to our strategiesâ&#x20AC;?.

The committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10-year plan includes six strategies for protecting and preserving the foreshore area; environment, camping, boatsheds, boat ramp, infrastructure and community engagement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are putting the call out for the community to read over the plan and to provide their thoughts and input,â&#x20AC;? committee chairman Neville Fuller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want as many people as possible to get involved to ensure the plan covers whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important to people.â&#x20AC;?

Capel Sound foreshore covers 3.8km of

coastline from Rosebud West to Rye and plays a major role in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;economic healthâ&#x20AC;? of the southern peninsula, Mr Fuller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past year, nearly 9000 people camped on the foreshore, each averaging 13-night stays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The foreshore also contains scarce examples of indigenous vegetation and is habitat to many species of animals.â&#x20AC;?

The management committee is appointed by Environment, Climate Change and Water minister, Lisa Neville.

The draft plan is open for comment until 15 January and can be seen at capelsoundforeshore. com.au or at the rangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This initiative is crucial to the ongoing growth and preservation of our precious coastline,â&#x20AC;? Mr Fuller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without help our beautiful natural habitats wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be here for future generations to enjoy.â&#x20AC;?

A public meeting will be held to discuss the modified plan 6.30pm Tuesday 12 January at the West Rosebud Bowls and Croquet Club, 66A Elizabeth Av, Rosebud West. Details: Carol Wood-Rich, 0400 180 346.

Riders jump for joy at opening Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MAIN Ridge Pony Club and Nepean Equestrian Club members were jumping for joy at the opening of their water jump complex at the Main Ridge Equestrian Ground, Baldry’s Rd, Friday.

This comes after a year of appealing for help from the community, businesses and organisations for the project which was identified by a government study as an essential component of the environmental protection at the ground.

“Its achievement – only 12 months on – is very much thanks to the many partners who came on board, especially businesses and individuals who donated money, materials and/ or labour, to get the job done,” pony club president Dean Jones said.

The water jump, with hoof cleaning station, will enhance the cross country course and protect the environmental integrity of the reserve which is bordered on two sides by Greens Bush.

“The pony club has been meeting at the ground since 1968 when the land was set aside by the Green family for equestrian use,” Mr Jones said.

“Not much has changed in nearly 50 years. The setting is as beautiful as ever, and the cross country jumps just as challenging.

“But what has changed is how we look after this special environment, for ourselves and for the future.”

The major threat to the ground is from phytophthora cinnamomi, a soilborne water mould producing dieback

Camping blues HOLIDAYMAKERS erecting tents and parking caravans along the Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento foreshores in the lead up to the holidays are unwittingly attracting thieves.

Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas, of Somerville Police Complex, said the seasonal influx was a boon for opportunistic offenders. “The past couple of weeks we have had a few tents and caravans broken into,” he said. “They have stolen alcohol, food, small items and beach gear and, in some cases, made a huge mess.

“The campers have added a few extra statistics for us, and when they come down they may find a few items missing.”

Carols at Rosebud CAROLS by Candlelight will be held at Rosebud Uniting Church, 6 Murray Anderson Rd, Rosebud, 7pm, Saturday 19 December.

Singing will be led by the Larking About song group.

The program will be followed by a cup of tea or coffee. All welcome.

or root rot in plants.

“This species had the potential to severely damage the ground and to spread into the national park and it was necessary to take measures

quickly,” Mr Jones said.

This meant moving the old water jump out of the bush area and installing the hoof cleaning station to remove the pathogen from the ground.

“The creation of a water jump was a significant and costly undertaking for community clubs such as ourselves, which is where the wider community came to our rescue.”

A FRANKSTON South man has been arrested and charged over a spate of trailer thefts in the Mt Eliza and Mt Martha areas.

Police will allege the man, 25, stole four trailers and $20,000 worth of tradies tools over several weeks. Two of the trailers have been recovered.

Detective Sergeant Mel Nixon, of Somerville Police Complex, urges tradies to identify their tools “anyway they can” to make returns easier. Engraving an owner’s name and address or driver’s licence number on their tools is easy and practical, she said.

Southern Peninsula News 15 December 2015

LETTERS Wasted rates I am astounded that Mornington Peninsula Shire is wasting ratepayers’ money in sending our mayor [Graham Pittock] and another councillor [Hugh Fraser] to Paris for the International Conference on Climate Change. I think it is highly appropriate that our federal Minister for the Environment, [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt attend and deliver Australia’s commitment to reduction targets, but I cannot see any reason why councillors need to attend (“Climate strategy ‘relevant’ - mayor”, The News 8/12/15).

Local government councillors do not need to attend to learn what other countries are doing to reduce climate change, that information will be well publicised as Australia’s targets will be compared to other countries. Local governments are not in a position to take any action to achieve to our national targets anyway, they don’t run coal fired power stations, wind turbines or solar power stations.

Yes, climate change is important and Australia does need to take action to reduce carbon emissions, but none of these actions are within the influence of local government.

It is no wonder that our rates increase more than CPI when money is spent on such wasteful junkets.

I call on the Mornington Peninsula council to ban all such spending and stay focused on the job we ratepayers pay them to do and not get distracted by issues beyond local government authority.

Roger Skipsey, Mornington

Hunt can report Why are Mornington Peninsula Shire ratepayers being asked to foot the $12,000 bill to have councillors [the mayor Graham] Pittock and [Hugh] Fraser attend the climate change talks in Paris? What qualifications do they have to attend and what do they hope to learn or achieve? How will we even know whether they attended any of the events – will they be held accountable? Even if they were to report on their trip, they could so easily get all of the necessary information from the daily papers or from Googling “climate talks outcomes”.

Our very own federal MP, [Environment Minister] Greg Hunt, is in attendance. More importantly he will be sitting at the tables where the real talks are held.

I am sure council could learn more from a meeting with the minister when he returns from the talks than they will from Crs Fraser and Pittock.

Oh, and the cost of such a meeting? A car trip to his local electorate office at Hastings. No passports needed.

This smacks of a right royal “jolly”.

Irene Wyld, Cape Schanck

Population problem Your article contains so much gobbledegook that I had to read it several times to discover what our mayor [Graham Pittock] and councillor [Hugh Fraser] had achieved in their holiday trip to Paris, costing ratepayers $12,000.

Apparently our councillors supported the stand of our federal Environment Minister [Greg Hunt]. Phew! Thank heavens for that.

It seems that our mayor mingled with world leaders and spoke with the international press in attendance. Gee whiz, I sure am impressed.

Climate change problems are, of course, the domain of federal and state governments. Incompetent local councils should keep out of it and take advice from learned and qualified experts.

Being very interested in the causes of climate change, be it cosmic or power stations, I often wonder what is the formula used to hold this huge planet's temperature rise to 1.7 or 2.0 degrees? Have the experts factored in the plague population of seven billion people, which will be 15 billion in no time, then soon 30 billion?

If we had one child a family, or even two, for 100 years, and reduced the plague to a sustainable two or three billion, perhaps there would be no problem and we could keep our power stations.

No one seems to want to address this part of the equation, the most important part. Each human breathes out carbon dioxide continually and eats tonnes of vegetables and animals over a lifetime.

Compounding population rise is our real roblem. Solve it and pollution and carbon problems will be no more.

Understand that we cannot forever continue increasing our population (consumers). It will have to stop sooner or later, or you'll get very, very sick and hungry.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington Editor: The description of the National Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategy included in the article was supplied to the shire by Mr Hunt’s office.

Political spin Let’s cut through the political spin announced by [Environment Minister and Flinders MP] Greg Hunt at Paris COP21 and look at what is really happening.

Australia has just been ranked the worst among OECD countries and the third worst in the world on tackling climate action. Why? Our emissions of CO2 per capita are one of the highest in the world.

The current policy framework is inadequate to reach its minimum 2020 target of five per cent below 2000 levels.

Our RETs (renewable energy targets) have been significantly cut back.

We have just approved one of the largest coal mines in the world to further increase emissions.

Direct Action is a weak policy which does not cover major emitters.

We are still trying to shutdown climate research bodies ARENA, CEFC and divest from CSIRO. Our emissions are increasing and we will use our Kyoto credits to hide future emission increases. Our representation at Paris by Mr Hunt has sadly been a rather large embarrassment. We hope the rest of the world can play its part in Paris.

Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens

Naked decision

Remember the story “The emperor’s new clothes” where an emperor was persuaded by two slick salesmen to be measured for a new suit, which would be invisible to him, but seen by his constituents? When finished, the emperor paraded in what he thought were his exotic new clothes; but the public saw him naked. A stupid emperor had fallen prey to flattery and pride.

These salesmen (climate septics) have returned

masquerading as coal buyers and many politicians have fallen for their silver tongues.

Even though hundreds of thousands of Australians marched in the street to demonstrate that the naked politicians were indeed unable to see how foolish they were to fall for the prime minister’s statement that if we do not sell the coal someone else will.

Like the original story when it was an innocent child who asked why the emperor was naked, school children today could tell the politicians, should they listen, that coal (carbon) should stay in the ground. Putting extra CO2 into the atmosphere will lead to higher temperatures which, for Australia, will be disastrous for coral reefs, crop and food growing to say nothing of the melting ice in the Antarctic.

Why is it that our prime minister and environment minister have a desire to sell as much black coal as possible and destroy our feeble RET (renewable energy target).

Can they not see they are, in the eyes of the thinking world, totally naked.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Dredging for port I have been in correspondence (sadly one way) with Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt, on the subject of the Liberal Party’s ongoing support for a gigantic container port at Hastings. Since Mr Hunt declines to directly answer me, I’m afraid it’s back to the media to try to get answers. This letter is therefore based on interview given by Mr Hunt and sourced from his own website.

When a journalist asked “… will the development of a Hastings port require any dredging in Western Port?”

Hunt: “My understanding is that it would be, if necessary at all, a fraction, a scintilla, a micro-component of that which will occur if the Port of Melbourne is the only container port in Victoria.”

He is clearly way out of touch on this issue as the most common and well-researched dredging figure is 24 million cubic metres. The News has quoted coastal erosion expert, Associate Professor David Kennedy as saying “The proposed development is almost certain to have major environmental impacts on the marine and coastal environment of Western Port” and “… the potential impacts could be more widespread” due to “a general lack of knowledge of sediment transport pathways within the bay”.

Given Western Port’s frightening “build Hastings port” future as outlined by Associate Professor Kennedy, will Mr Hunt now reassure Flinders electors in writing that he will assess any future Hastings port proposal under his own oft repeated powers under federal law and not (as per the agreement he signed with Matthew Guy as state planning minister last year), devolve these powers down to state level. This is a very large fox in the Hastings port henhouse.

Kevin Chambers, The Gurdies

Revolutionary thought Henry Broadbent ("Incorrect Physics", Letters 8/12/15) states that "500 years ago everybody thought that the Sun orbited the Earth".

All my Greek friends were upset about that and urged me to put him straight. More than 2200 years ago an ancient Greek mathematician and astronomer, Aristarchus, of Samos, theorised

that the Earth revolved around the Sun as did the other planets. It was peer reviewed favourably

by Archimedes I believe.

I take a keen interest in the global warming/ climate change debate and like to read intelligent, expert opinion on both sides of the debate, but Henry's letter started off factually wrong and went downhill from there.

Robert Murray, Dromana

Time to change I don't mind if Henry Broadbent wants to believe in the three per cent who think that the other 97 per cent of climate scientist are so wrong on the effects of climate change that he can ignore their findings out of hand. I for one would put my money on the consensus of the 97 per cent who think that humans are to blame to some great extent for the rapid warming of our planet since industrialisation of our society.

His example of the Catholic elite’s inability to accept scientific discoveries in Galileo's time has no relevance to today's issue of global warming.

It was just an example of the ruling classes in the times of Galileo not coming to terms with scientific discovery. Purely for religious reasons and the fear of loosing power over the masses did the church burn people at the stake and ban new ideas.

The three per cent naysayers about the science of climate change are well supported financially by the vested interests of the carbon fuel mining interests of multinational companies.

Just like the Catholic church of the past, they are desperate to deny scientific facts that effect the company's bottom line or their influence on governments.

I would say it is just prudent for the international community to hold the warming of our globe to under two per cent by the turn of next century. The consequence of doing nothing could possibly deny future generations the chance of a decent and sustainable way of life.

There is no reason not to get on with developing our capacity to get to a zero emission energy future in Australia and the world. It is achievable and the only way to a secure future for our species.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Wasted words I think John Cain, (“Marginal the way to go”, Letters 8/12/15) needs a gentle reminder about how government actually works in Australia. It is not the blowhards and single issue representatives that form government, but the party that gets the majority of public support.

A quick glance back at local history is all that is needed to prove this point.

People marching up and down Main St, Mornington, disrupting all and sundry to save the Mornington train. Train’s gone. Same motley crew doing the same a few years later to save the railway station. Station’s gone. Friends of Tassels Creek vowing to stop the Safety Beach [Martha Cove] marina. Marina’s built. Blairgowrie marina. Marina built. Blue Wedges was hell bent on stopping channel dredging. Channel dredged. Authurs Seat chairlift. Same story.

So Mr Cain, if you think the MP for Flinders [Greg Hunt] is going to change government policy just because you have written him a letter, well good luck with that.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Melbourne boys home re-opens Compiled by Melissa Walsh A full report of the Shepherd-Jones wedding, at Tyabb will appear in our next issue. *** THE drawing for the suit from Messrs Lincoln Stuart of Melbourne will take place in Somerville Park on Saturday next, at the Garden Fete. *** THE Cigar bowl and tray raffled by Miss Butler in aid of Langwarrin Soldiers’ Xmas Dinner, was won by Mr A. Patterson, Davey St Frankston. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a clearing up sale of furniture and sundries at their rooms, Bay St, on Wednesday next, also a number of good lines of poultry. *** GOOD entries have been received by the secretary of the Frankston New Year’s Day. Sports for the various events on the programme, and given fine weather the success which has attended these gatherings in the past should again be realised. *** A NEW Year’s Fair in aid of the funds of the Roman Catholic Church, Frankston will be opened in the Hall on New Year’s Eve, at 3 p.m. and also on New Year’s Night at 5 o’clock, at which there will be amusements provided for both young and old. *** MISS Hilda Brewer, the famous Melbourne singer of patriotic songs, who made such a good impression in

Somerville at a church concert some months ago, will sing at the Garden Fete on Dec. 18th, at the open air concert in the evening. *** MRS Geo. Griffeth, of “Two Bays’ has generously presented the Patriots’ League with a beautiful solid gold watch and chain in velvet case, to be raffled at the Garden Fete to be held in Somerville Park on Dec. 18th.

The tickets will be on sale and the watch on view at the gate of the park during the afternoon and evening of the Fete. *** THE official opening of the Somerville Mechanics’ Institute takes place on December 31st, 1915. All the prominent residents of the district are invited to be present and the ladies have conceived the idea of holding a luncheon, at the modest charge of 1s., to help the funds of the institute and to assist in paying off the debt.

The ladies of the district are cordially invited to bring refreshments and the luncheon will be under the management of the Red Cross Committee.

In the evening a Children’s Concert and Cantata under the capable management of Mrs Geo. Reed, will be given. *** CHILD Life. The Nation’s Greatest Asset.

Owing to the War it is more than ever necessary that the Child Life of the nation should be safeguarded, for children are the Nation’s greatest asset. Not Britain only, but the Em-

pire has paid her heavy toll in lives.

From Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Britain’s loyal sons have come: many never to return. Whom have we to take their place ? Only the children.

The Empire rests today on childhood’s shoulders, and it is our duty to fit those shoulders for their task.

Thousands of children die in this land of ours who could be saved; thousands of children grow up stunted, warped diseased, who with proper care would grow up healthy and useful. It behoves us to see that not a single child be lost who can be saved.

The safety of the Empire in the years to come depends on the children. The Charter of Dr Barnardo’s Homes is— No destitute child ever refused admission. 1,577 children were rescued last year.

In one fortnight recently 92 orphan and destitute boys and girls were added to this big family, which average 7,480 children. 1,560 Barnardo Boys are serving in the forces, and the list is growing daily. Will you assist this National Charity to hold out the hand of help to every forlorn little one who needs their aid? *** THE application for the renewal of a wine licence at Somerville was heard at Mornington Licensing Court on Friday. Mr Cook appeared on behalf of the applicant, and raised certain preliminary objections which the Court would not consider till the adjourned sitting of the Court. Inspector Jones appeared on behalf of po-

lice, who opposed the renewal, and Mr Rostron appeared on behalf of certain Somerville residents who also opposed the licence being renewed.

The hearing was adjourned till 23rd inst. *** THE friends of Mr W. Robertson, of Langwarrin, will regret to hear of the loss he has sustained in the death of his brother and his wife, which sad event took place within a fortnight of each other. The deceased, Mr Jas Robertson, met with an accident some four months ago, while stepping out of his buggy his foot slipped, on the kerbing and he fell against a verandah post with his shoulder which brought on blood poisoning and resulted in the arm having to be amputated at the shoulder blade. He never recovered from the effect of the accident but lingered till the 26th November when he passed away at the age of 53 years.

The close attention given to the deceased by his wife during his illness, brought on dropsy, from which complaint Mrs Robertson succumbed on 11th December and was buried exactly a fortnight after her husband.

For the last five years Mr Robertson kept the Werribee Cup Hotel Ascot Vale. Previous to which he had the Globe Hotel in Swanston St and Douglas Hotel, Bourke St, on the site where the theatre now stands.

He was the son of Mr Robert Robertson, the head of one of the oldest established firms of plumbers in Melbourne. Two sons, aged 22 and 18

years, are left to mourn the loss of their parents. *** HARVESTING operations are now in full swing. In almost every instance very heavy crops have resulted. Fruit crops also promise to be abundant. *** SNAKES have been unusually prevalent this year. Donald Clarke, farm employee of Mulready Bros, was bitten on Monday night on the finger as he took a sheaf of hay off the stook.

Mr L. Berryman rendered 1st aid, and took the man to Dr Somers. He is progressing satisfactorily. *** THE Red Cross League and Progress Association combined are proposing to entertain a contingent of wounded soldiers on the beach on a date to be fixed. *** AN appeal to the Editor. The Melbourne Boys Home has been reopened under the supervision of the Matron Mrs W. Minton who will welcome visitors to see through the Home on any afternoon. The Matron would be thankful for any donations of clothing goods or toys to brighten the Xmas tides for these less unfortunate little ones. We are thankful to your readers for past kindness to the boys of the Home and trust that this appeal will merit sympathy.—Yours etc., M. Minton, Hon Sec.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The sheer, undeniable brilliance of you

By Stuart McCullough GENIUS. It’s a word we use all too sparingly.

Mozart was a genius, Little Richard too. Picasso was a genius even though he was a pretty awkward human being. Catch 22 is a work of genius although people less commonly bestow that honour on its author, Joseph Heller. It’s a mercurial kind of business. Generally speaking, ‘genius’ is a label we reserve for certain fields of endeavour such as literature, music, art and the like.

But there’s no good reason for being so stingy.

Instead, I think there’s a case for celebrating brilliance where you find it.

Is it possible to be a bona fide genius when it comes to fish and chips? I firmly believe it is. Mozart and Picasso would probably tell you otherwise, but neither of them knew the true transcendental pleasure that comes from flake, minimum chips and a splash of vinegar. It’s a scientific fact that the greatest fish and chips in the Universe can always be found at the fish and chip shop nearest your house, but in my case, it’s actually true. The front window says it all: Bill is back. His name is on the window because Bill’s work with hot oil and deep fried food can fairly be described as nothing short of ground breaking.

Ideally, the work of Bill would receive broader recognition. We have all kinds of awards for excellence; for journalists, writers and footballers alike. But we need to think a little bigger and reward accomplishment in other fields too.

‘Best flake: grilled’ ought to be a trophy. ‘The lifetime achievement award for minimum chips’ is an honour that ought to be bestowed with an oversized cheque. In a perfect world, there would be a televised Brownlow-style vote count on a round by round basis for ‘Best Dim Sims – steamed or fried’.

Each day, I stop at the same coffee shop on my way to work. Once upon a time, people who made coffee were referred to simply as ‘coffeemakers’.

But at some point, that all changed and the term ‘barista’ came into vogue. I’m not sure what the qualifications are to be a barista, other than a man-bun, a beard and having recently returned from a year’s backpacking through South America. But it’s not like that at my coffee shop. She has neither a man-bun nor a beard, but she makes a remarkable flat white. If that does not sound like the kind of skill that ought to attract a term like ‘genius’, think for a moment about every lousy cup of coffee you ever tipped over your lips in sufferance and then tell me that the ability to create a truly great skinny latte doesn’t deserve a plaque or, possibly, a ticker tape parade.

That you are a genius in one area doesn’t mean you’re brilliant at everything, though. There’s a bakery down the street and, frankly, most of the products are terrible. I once bought a piece of hedgehog that was so rock-solid that it could have been used to pave a landing strip for large aircraft. There are times, late at night, when I truly wonder whether or not the remnants of that hedgehog are yet to be fully dissolved by my digestive system; such was its indestructible nature.

While creating a cake that cannot be destroyed by conventional weapons may well be genius of a sort, that’s not where their true talent lies.

The very same bakery that makes inedible hedgehog and vanilla slices that look as though they’ve just had a rough night out on the tiles also make the greatest lamingtons known to humanity. This is not something I say lightly. Lamingtons were my grandmother’s signature dish. She perfected the art of the lamington after first learning to cook them as part of Australia’s test for new migrants. Back then, if you could whip up either a pavlova or lamington, you were immediately granted citizenship. I’m not sure where our local baker managed to stumble across the recipe for his lamingtons, but they are supernaturally fluffy and delicious. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that he has practically re-invented the art form.

As for me, I’m not a genius at fish and chips.

Nor am I a genius at making a cup of coffee or lamingtons, notwithstanding that I’ve been known to consume both from time to time. My skills, it seems, lie elsewhere. If I am a genius at anything, it’s probably at getting up early. That may not sound like much of a talent, but it’s certainly come in handy over the past few weeks in managing the dog. But that’s not all. Two weeks ago, I performed possibly the greatest piece of reverse parking of all time. The space was tight and I guided the vehicle to within kissing distance of the gutter in a single attempt. Some might call that luck. But you and I know better.

Given a choice, we’d all love to paint great paintings, write brilliant books and compose music that endures through the ages. Most of us won’t, though. But it doesn’t mean that our contributions, whether large or small, don’t all help to keep this big old world spinning on its axis in their own particular way. So let me be the first to say it: you’re a genius. I’m not sure in which field, but I’m certain that you’re great at something that makes a difference. And so on behalf of me and everyone else, let me simply say to you: thanks. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Southern Peninsula News 15 December 2015

SEXY, SIZZLING AND SAUCY – SPIEGELTENT IS BACK

By Melissa Walsh The Spiegeltent is back with a bang, rolling into Sorrento all the way from Belgium and knocking audiences out with its raunchy night of fun with the show, Limbo.

Local media and special guests attended the fabulous opening night last Thursday, greeted with bubbles on arrival and a magical journey back in time to the sexy days of vaudeville and cabaret.

and producing shows, is delighted about the reaction to the new show, which took lucky members of the audience to another world, where acrobats, musicians and dancers galore rocked the Spiegeltent stage.

After a sellout season last summer, the dream of restaurateur and theatrical producer, James McPherson, continues with the second annual Spiegeltent production, Limbo.

“Spiegeltent is also a tribute to George Coppin, the Father of Sorrento, himself a comedian, entrepreneur and politician,” says James, who continues to dedicate the fabulous experience to the late great Mr Coppin whose love of Sorrento, hard work and dedication made it the holiday destination it is today.

James, who had worked a lifetime in the entertainment industry doing PR for theatre

James first fell in love with the Spiegeltent when he saw it in Melbourne many years ago.

Rumour has it that the mirrors were positioned so that guests could make discreet eye contact with one another, and only a handful of these mirrored tents are left in the world today.

Guests at the opening night included local media, sponsors and VIP guests, with Geoffrey Briscoe from BMW, Miss Australia International Jessica Martini, Emma and Travis from Neighbours, Rebecca from Flinders Hotel, director Scott Maidment, and producers, James McPherson, Simon Myers, Tony Healey and Belinda Visser.

ON THE BEACH A Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery exhibition - 11 December 2015 – 28 February 2016 On the Beach considers the place of the beach within Australian life by bringing together paintings and photographs by some of Australia’s acclaimed Modernists with works by contemporary artists. The exhibition considers the ways in which people relate to the beach, its place in understandings of national identity and its history as a contested site.

On the Beach features works by Arthur Boyd, Gordon Bennett, Daniel Boyd, Max Dupain, Charles Meere, Tracey Moffatt, David Moore, Sidney Nolan, Polixeni Papapetrou, John Perceval, Scott Redford, Jeffrey Smart, Albert Tucker, Guan Wei and Anne Zahalka.

The exhibition also features a series of photographs by George Caddy showing the lost art of beachobatics. From 1936 to 1941 a group of acrobatic men and women from a gymnastic club would gather on Bondi Beach wearing the most daring costumes of the day, and form their sun-tanned bodies into complex human pyramids. On Thursday 18 February Paul Caddy will talk about how he discovered a box of his father’s photographs that have become legendary images.

During summer, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery has a great line-up of school holidays activities for children of all ages. Drop in any time during the exhibition to contribute to our fabulous On the beach community creation. MPRG is also running January school holiday workshops for 8–16 year olds and is hosting the National Gallery

of Victoria kids on tour program. Children can enjoy activities for the Andy Warhol | Ai Weiwei and Hermannsburg Potters exhibitions, 16–26 January. Visit:www.mprg. mornpen.vic.gov.au/events to find out what is happening, when!

Twenty one schools across the Mornington Peninsula have participated in the 3rd annual Friends Art Award ‘Life’s a Beach’.

Winners are on display at MRPG and commended entries are displayed in libraries in Hastings, Mornington and Rosebud, Bendigo Bank, Mount Eliza, and selected cafes in Mount Eliza and Sorrento.

Sponsored by Hanks Orthodontics, Mount Eliza.

Location: Civic Reserve, Dunns Road, Mornington Gallery Hours: Tuesday–Sunday 10am–5pm Exhibition admission fees: $4 adults / $2 concession General information: 03 5975 4395 www.mprg.mornpen.vic.gov.au

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Baxter start well in must-win game PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully BAXTER has placed itself in a strong position to win its final match of 2015 against Somerville.

Currently in eighth place on the MPCA Provincial ladder, a loss here would really put them behind the eight ball in 2016, leaving them at least two games out. With the competition so tight, picking up 24 points is a tall order. Nonetheless, the home side is most certainly in this contest after winning the toss and electing to bat.

A 154-run partnership between Chris Brittain (79) and Dale Irving (76) really set Baxter up to post a solid

total. With Ben Brittain hitting 41 and keeper Daniel Lanati contributing 21, Baxter was able to post a total of 9/281.

Considering the form that Chamara Sattambi and Irving are in with the ball, that total looks defendable. Matty Roach was the best of the Somerville bowlers, getting through 21 overs and finishing with a return of 5/48.

Langwarrin has set Long Island a tricky total, but considering the depth of batting talent at the Islandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disposal, they should chalk up another win. The Kangaroos had a number of players who started well, but none were able to maintain. Matt Prosser opened with a top score of 32, Simon McEvoy got 29 and Mal Coutts fin-

ished unbeaten on 29. The Islandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers made it difficult to score, restricting the home side to 8/178 in its 80 overs. Chris Hocking bowled 27 overs and finished with 3/47, while Mike Reynolds claimed 2/16 from 10 overs.

Pines were looking for an outright win to keep its season alive against Rye, but it almost backfired. The Piners have already picked up the win after bowling Rye out for 80 in 33 overs and then posting a score of 7/98 in the next 34 overs. At one stage, Pines were in all sorts of trouble at 2/1, 4/13 and 6/19. Jarred Coad (37) and Pat Jackson (42 not out) put on a partnership of 79 to steer the home side to

a first-innings win. Tom Baron was superb for his side, collecting 4/48, while Andrew Dunn claimed 2/24.

Crib Point has left Sorrento with plenty of work to do, scoring 7/317 on Saturday at Crib Point Recreation Reserve. Luke Herrington was at his vintage best with 110, while Ricky Thompson hit an unbeaten 40 in honour of his Dad, who passed last week.

Jacob Cook also hit 40, batting ninth.

Chris King bowled 25 overs for the Sorras with a return of 4/101, while Hayden Bell picked up 3/52 in his first game back. Sorrento faced the last over of the day and will resume this coming Saturday on 0/2 with Corey Harris and Nick Jewell at the crease.

Mt Eliza has set Moorooduc a valiant 234 for victory after positing 9/233 on Saturday at Moorooduc Reserve. Jordan Fuhrmann was superb in his third match, top-scoring with an unbeaten 86 despite deserving a ton.

Cameron Bailey was the pick of the Ducsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 4/44 off 23 overs.

Mornington has set Peninsula Old Boys a winning total of 231 runs at Peninsula School.

The top four Old Boys were all over the wickets with the ball. Zac Fillipone opened to claim 2/46, with Adam Gailitis snaring 2/42, Adam Jones 3/35 and Jon Forrest 2/59.

Hillmen domination continues DISTRICT

By IT Gully THE Red Hill steam train shows no signs of slowing down after scoring 9/301 against Mt Martha on Saturday at the Red Hill Showgrounds.

The Hillmen rely on no individual to win games of cricket, with all hands on deck whether batting, bowling or out in the field. After scoring more than 300 runs on Saturday, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be forgiven for assuming the likes of Simon Dart and Matt Merifield were amongst the runs.

Either that or the Shaws, at the top of the order, dominated.

But you should never assume anything with the Hillmen.

While Riley Shaw did score 42, the real action came from Brent Martin, who scored 74 to back up his recent 46-run effort, while Glenn Collett hit 54 and Andrew Mock 40. The latter are number eight and nine batsmen, yet, they scored almost 100 runs between them.

Michael Clavin was the pick of the Mt Martha bowlers, with 4/51 from 17 overs, but Jordan Pomeroy was also back to his best with 3/60.

Carrum is still roughly 50 runs short of making a game of it against Baden Powell. While at the end of the day runs on the board is what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about, the Braves wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be concerned at all chasing 225 for victory. John Mitchell opened with 77 for the Lions on Saturday to be the top scorer, while Lachy Dobson was again called in to get some runs, scoring 40 in spite of batting eighth.

Main Ridge has some work to do with the bat this week, going up against Pearcedale at Tractor Park. The Panthers made 7/261

on Saturday after being sent in to bat by the Ridge. Brad Trotter opened with 80 while skipper Kaine Smith hit 71 and Luke Jennings contributed 46 on debut.

Adam Bryant was a stand-out bowler for Main Ridge, writing up 4/50.

At 5/35 against Boneo, Flinders were in a real spot of bother until evergreen Shane Beggs, one of the MPCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest, strode out to the crease. With great support from Blake Hogan-Keogh (36) and Mitch Stansborough (28), Beggs was free to blast away, amassing an unbeaten 101 to help his side to 9/228. Cameron Williams snared 4/53 for the Pandas while Daniel Wilson claimed 4/39.

Seaford missed out on an easy opportunity to post a big score in their derby match. Thanks to a middle-order collapse, the Seaford Tigers remain competitive.

Seaford were cruising with 0/80 early on before Paul Hartle fell for 45 and Ryan McQueen for 32.

That score line quickly became 5/111 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Scott Manders scored 28 and the tail wagged to help Seaford to 8/212.Ash Mills claimed 3/21 from 21 overs for the Tigers while Corey Hand and David James picked up two wickets apiece.

A total of 13 wickets fell on day one of the match between Delacombe Park and Heatherhill.

The Hills rolled the home side for 150. Steve Anderson top scored for the Parkers with 50 while Daniel Ballard scored 23 against his old crew. Jason Hinde, Brett Maxwell and Jordan Creely each snared three wickets for the Hills. Heatherhill is now struggling at 3/22, while Dean Blight for Delacombe Park has 2/9 from five overs.

North and South combine

By Toe Punt THE Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League will be fielding only one team in the Vic Championships next season, shunning the traditional arrangement of both Nepean and Peninsula teams. AFL South East’s hand has been forced as AFL Victoria changed its Community Championships format to include both metropolitan and country leagues.

In light of this decision, the AFL South

East Commission decided that it would be in the best interest of the MPNFL to return to one representative side, ensuring they can compete strongly against the metropolitan leagues that have three or more divisions of players to select from. The MPNFL will play the Northern Football League in 2016, which has three divisions and 26 teams to choose players from.

In order to better compete, the Nepean and Peninsula teams will be amalgamated. No

coaches have been announced at this stage, although it’s rumoured John Hynes has been given the nod ahead of Langwarrin and Dromana premiership coach Gavin Artico.

The MPNFL will play on Saturday, May 21 to have a shot at the title of number one ranking against either the Eastern Football League or Geelong Football Netball League.

Venue details will be released early in 2016.

BURDETT’S

By IT Gully HASTINGS will be digging deep for the win when it begins day two against Tyabb this Saturday. As the visitors, the Yabbies didn’t fare so well outside the familiar surroundings of the pond. The visitors lasted just 34.3 overs in their first innings and were bowled out for 55. Michael Edwards top scored with 14.

16-year-old Ryan McNamara was sensational for the Blues in only his third First XI game. McNamara bowled seven overs and finished with the impressive figures of 5/21.

Luke Hewitt snared 2/2 and Mitchell Floyd 2/11 from 12 overs.

The Blues didn’t do much better with the bat, managing 92 in pursuit of quick runs, although Al Kristensen’s 39 did help. The Yabbies are 3/21 in their second innings, still 16 runs behind. Floyd picked up another couple of wickets.

Mark Snelling smashed a brutal 180 runs for Carrum Downs in their match against

Frankston YCW. Snelling hit 22 fours and five sixes in his innings, while Nathan Phillips scored 58 and Ryan Lynch 43.

The Stonecats will be chasing 342 for victory this week after the Cougars finished on 6/341.

Rosebud has set Tootgarook 240 for victory after scoring 239 on Saturday at Olympic Park. Billy Quigley hit a high score for the Buds with 42 and Brad Glenn hit 34. Zac Stevenson was the pick of the Frogs’ bowlers with 4/85.

Dromana will be looking for an outright victory against Ballam Park. The Knights were obliterated after just 95 runs, with Aaron Kaddatz taking 3/32. The Hoppers will resume at 6/152 after Darren Kerr made 41 and Jack Fowler 25.

The match between Balnarring and Skye will go right down to the wire. The Saints batted first on Saturday and made 179. Mitch Kleinig top scored with an unbeaten 6, while Pat Clinch claimed 5/37 for Skye. The home side is currently 2/39 in reply.
